  Speaker 1: Bulet cav Show Special guests in here. Denzel Curry was good. Welcome, welcome.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I've been trying to interview
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you for like fucking eight years now, so it's good
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to finally link with you. Man. Listen when I mean,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I think I told you this before then, Like you know,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I was really hard at reaching you know, not reaching
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: out to people and shit, like I just didn't do it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But you know, we finally hear, we finally get to talk.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're I was talking to somebody in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: your team last year. But did you have like an
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: injury or something? Like did you did you like hurt
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: some part of your body or something? And I mean
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I got an injury now. I know you got injury now,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: but this was probably like back in like twenty nineteen then,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: probably because I did have a crazy injury then because
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that's when I was on tour with Billy Eilish and shit,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's what it was. Yeah, how's how is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that touring with Billy Eilish. Well, Billy Eilisch, that's my dog.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You know, she seems super chill. Oh she's cool as fuck,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But like, what is that like because you're your stage
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: presence is insane. Your music is extremely like I feel
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like it's built for like live environments, right, But that's
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a different type of vibe, right man, it's a lot
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of little girls. The whole thing with the Billie Elis tour.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It just opened my eyes to like what I could
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: possibly be doing, you know. So what I mean by
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that is like I was doing venues and clubs and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, and you know, that's pretty much easy
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: for me, very successfully. I might add, yeah, thank you, thanks,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But when I got to do those arenas, it was different.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I see what Kanye West was talking about when he
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: went on tour with YouTube, like he wanted to make
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: music for like arenas and shit like that. So with
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: her giving me the opportunity to open up for her
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: own tour, I felt like that was gangster because I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: never heard my music in that kind of environment before.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So it made me look at my music differently. It
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: made you kind of like I feel like there is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: there is a such thing as like making music for
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: renus like we think of like people are like, yo,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: this is a festival record. This is gonna go crazy
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in front of at Coachella. Like so now when you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: go in and you record certain records, you'll have that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in mind because you've actually been through it. Yeah, I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of that shit is like synth heavy
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and bass heavy, you know what I'm saying. And I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just want to be able to have the crowd singing
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: my lyrics because to be honest with you, like I'll
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be rapping fast and then I'll be saying big words
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and people like, I'll give you all these type of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: metaphors and sometimes it hit and sometimes it miss and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: people be like, what the fuck you talking about? Denzel?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's never like real straight up. But with
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: just me working now, I feel like melody is always
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: gonna win. Like we know songs just based off the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: melody like ABCD or you know all that shit. You
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: can hum it and you'll be like, I know what
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that is? You No twinkle twinkle, a little starry, same shit?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: How would someone hum ultimate? So was Billy Elis just
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a fan of you? And like what like was it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: her idea? Like how did that happen? Because that's kind
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of she's young, you know, all right? It happened in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, fyf that's when she came to my show
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: for the first time. I'm like one of her favorite rappers, Okay,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And I didn't even know I was one of her
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: favorite rappers until she told me in twenty seventeen, because
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that's where we've met officially. And the first time we met,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we was at the studio. We was, you know, supposed
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to work on the record. It was me, her and Phineas,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and we didn't even make a record. We were just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: cracking jokes the whole time we went to go get
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a side boat, go eat. We were just you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: talking to each other, just you know, just cutting up.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Then our relationship started to build more and more over
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: time is you know, as time progressed and shit, And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: basically you know, she came to the studio and worked
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on Sirens, which is with me and Jed on a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: taboo on record. Yeah, you know, shout out to Billy. Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: She seems to be like someone who's like, despite all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the fame and being one of the biggest, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: pop stars in the world, she seems pretty like every
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: time I see her talking or doing an interviews, she
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: seems like a humble, cool chick. Bro. She's down to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: earth as fuck, and I think she wears Jinkos, which
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is awesome. I don't even know what that is. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Jinko pants, Jinko. You don't remember Jinko. How old are
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you well, dude, yeah, twenty seven, Yeah, you don't remember Jinkos.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, man, I mean pockets. Juggalos used to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: wear them. Oh you talk about like insaaning clomba posse
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: type shit. No, you don't remember the Jinko pants, huge
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: legs and the pockets were like the size of this
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: TV oll. No oh man, no, b there was in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Florida wearing them somewhere. I wasn't wearing them. They're probably
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: wearing them in the middle of flo Like Pole County
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: had them for sure. You know what I'm saying, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: don't know about not Dad County, not Dade County. Yo.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You are a pioneer, though. I want to give you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: love because I would always be interviewing some of these. Uh.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You know, I feel like sou South Florida in general
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: has really had its its moment. It's still happening, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it kind of really kicked off like where nationally, like
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: some of the bigger artists were all from you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: obviously Kodak Black is one of those guys ex little Pump.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we can go on and on and on,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but I do feel like you and uh, the Raider
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Clan really kicked off that entire just that whole entire
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: wave out of South Florida. I mean, of course, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a respect. Whereas dude, you know, like
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Space goes Perp really was like the driving force for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that ship at the time when he first came out
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and him and Rocky was running together until the beef happened.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But when it came down, the Raider Clan and the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: whole aesthetic and everything before we disbanded, like we was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: really trying to bombard the industry on some shit like
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: when we was young and we was all in high
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: school at the time, Like y'all laid the roots for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: all this other shit that's going on, you know what
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. For sure, of course all that shit came
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: from us. Yeah, one hundred percent. And yeah, you definitely
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you need to get to get your flowers fat. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's crazy because when you think about it, we were
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: just talking about it yesterday, The Asap Rocky Space goes
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Perp thing, such an unfortunate thing. Because it's like, what
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what if that never would have happened? Like you know
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, man, listen, if that would have
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: never happened, you know, we probably would have had a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: stronghold on the game right now, you know what I'm saying,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: because we was like the driving force of the culture,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: both Raider Clan and a Sap. Yeah, and a lot
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of the aesthetic and a lot of the vibe. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: feel like that Rocky had for the Asap Mob, you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was heavily influenced by the Raider Clan shit as well. Yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean when it came down to everything that was
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: going on, and then you know when Purp and Rocky
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: was going through it and shit, and you know, black
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Land Radio six six point six did come out before
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I heard Live Love a Sap or Paxos. You get
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I still have respect for Rocky.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I still respect Rocky to this day. You get what
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But I give credit where on credit is due.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Purp and it wasn't for Raider Clan,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I want to have a platform to be Denzel Curry.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying, right, So, I'm gonna always
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: give respect to that, regardless of what the fuck me
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and this nigga Purp go through, right, you know what
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I mean? What's your relationship? Like, what is Purp up to?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Do you do you have a relationship with him anymore?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't talk to food like that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He don't talk to me. I don't talk to him,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: but we still you know, he'll big me up and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then he'll disrespect me in the same week. Yeah, you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but it's all love from my point, and I hope
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's all love from him, and it is what it is. Well,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I was telling you this, man, I do feel like
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: for us, you're you're very successful, but I still feel
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: like somehow you're like underappreciated in the industry because I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: feel like you're one of the most versatile rappers artists
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: period in the last decade or so, you know, Like
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: listening to I just listened to your well ninety nine
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: percent of your new album, I'm like, man, like the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: shit that you can do between melodies, between the fast
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: rap shit, between the boom bab shit. It's there's just
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not a lot of people who can cover all those
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: bases and cover them very well and organically, if that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: makes sense. Well, a lot of that shit get lost
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in translations because I'm not popular. If you want to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: be real, you know what I'm saying, Like, you're not
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: pop music. Yeah, I'm not pop music, So you got
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to really dig into crevice to be like, oh, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: listened to Denzel Curry, like, you know, my music was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: catered to a niche crowd. You dig yeah, and me
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: when it comes down to this album, I just want everybody.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you're a Denzel Curry fan or not.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I want you to feel that shit period. Is this
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the first album that you took that approach with? Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I took my feelings first before I took me what
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I was gonna think about rapping about it was my feelings,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Like whatever I felt, I know people have the same feelings,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna write what I feel instead of writing
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: what I know. I like that. I like that. I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: would just learn that you do muay Thai. Yeah, you've
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: been doing it since twenty seventeen. But if a little
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: bit of background, keV a lot of my brothers, Like
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: my brothers, you know, been in the streets and shit
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: like that. I'm the only one out of my brothers

• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I you know, I would go there. It'll be in Paran.

• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of the videos there was just there's just no ring. Yeah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: it was just people crowding around. At first they didn't
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: have a ring. Then they had a ring, then they
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: had an octa gun, then they had a triangle that
• 10:25

• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just gushing just out of my brother's nose. Did your
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: brother ever fight Kimbo? Nah? Hell, Kimbo was already like
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in a UFC around this time. I mean, but Dada
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was Dada and Kimbo used to roll with each other
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: until they kind of fell out, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And around that time it was just Dada and what
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Dada was doing in the backyards. But Kimbo was before that,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you know, long lived Kimbo,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you feel me. So that was kind of the origins
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of your that got you interested in learning how to fight.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I had to learn how to fight. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: had too many brothers to not know how to fight.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: How many brothers do you have, Well, one of them pasted.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: It was four of us. Okay, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And were you the youngest, I'm the youngest. Oh yeah,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I mean you got to learn that. I gotta learn
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: how to fight. I was like, like, he is getting
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: bullied outside of the house and getting bullied inside the house.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So I had to learn how to fight either way
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to go. So in twenty seventeen. You take a muy Thai, Yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: what kind of give us the rundown on like just
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the muay Thai shit because you were you're very passionate
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: about it. Well, I don't think a lot of people
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: know because you was You're very you know your shit, man. Well,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: when it comes down to muy time, man, I like, well,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I stopped smoking weed right, And this was back in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I felt like my life was gonna be
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: boring because I wasn't like smoking right, and then I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, might as well start drinking too,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So I just looked up. I remember I was doing
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: martial arts with my brothers and stuff like that when
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I was younger. So I'm like, you know, when I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: find a time, you know, if I get enough money,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go back into martial arts. And I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: said that when I first started rapping shit, because I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: stopped doing it. And then next thing, you know, I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was like, Oh, there's a multi place right down the street.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It was five Star Martial Arts. Go there. I signed up,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: got signed me up. I looked at the class and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: then I went in the next day, started doing it,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: got my girl to do it. And then I just
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: kept doing it ever since. And it's been five years, right,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it's been five years. I can't train, not because I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: got a tour in ACL but like is it like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: do you get belts? Like what's your belt level? Well,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: in Thailand they don't really have a ranking system. Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because they've been doing it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: since they was kids, pug but that's like cut off
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like addresses, that's what they will wear before they go.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's like it brings us a good luck. But in
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: like the ranking system at the school they will ranking,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: like how they will rank jiu jitsu? You get know
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You start off white, you know, you
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: might get a stripe. You might end up at blue.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: You might get a stripe, you might end up at purple,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you might get a stripe. You might end up at brown,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and then all the way to black, like brown to black.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You feel me how people rank their schools differently though?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: How far would you take them? Thing? Because we know
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: got like, you know, we got a friend d Smoke
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: who was like a semi professional boxer before you really
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: started popping as a rapper, So like would you like,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: how far would you take it. I mean I wanted
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to compete, to be honest, I wanted to compete to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: see what my skill level was at, you know, to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: see if I'm pretty, you know, see where I'm at,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and see where I need to improve on, you know
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But that's how far I was willing
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to take it, like to do a couple of matches,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: but other than that, it was just I just like
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: doing it for my sanity to be real. It's like
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it's almost like therapy. Have you been to Thailand? Yes?
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: How was that? Taland's dope? It's like very did you
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: go out there and like watch Muay Thai like And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: it's because you know, you see these like YouTube videos
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: like the Multai fights and Thailand me like Loupini Stadium
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Shit sook crazy though. Yeah, I mean
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't been able to do that. But my boy Kashan,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he been trying to get me to go to go
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: back to Thailand and like go to the gyms, because
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you got to know somebody to have that connection to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the gym to get in there. Yeah, I mean it's open,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: but you gotta I would much rather know somebody who's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: been there before. I know these gyms and you know
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying and just pull up. Yeah, now that's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: dope man. You also obviously are a big UFC fan.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, who's your like? If you had to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: give me your goat? Like top three fighters ever ever
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: since since you've been watching, since I've been watching. All right,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I gotta put and the Silva in now. And the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: guyho broke his leg right, yeah, he broy he raws. Fuck.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be controversial. I'm gonna put John Jones
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: up there. Shout out to John Jones. He loves cocaine.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Cannot cannot shout out John. This is documented by the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and as of right now recently Style Style Bender. Yeah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: those my three. But when it comes down to like overall,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: like I have a lot of favorite fighters that are
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: like in a women's division, it's Valentina Shipchenko, like she'd
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: be fucking people up. Like there was a match where
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: she was fucking lady up so bad. I was waiting
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: for the referee to stop it. The man would not
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: stop it. It took her to choke the girl out.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Some of those are her to stop for him to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: stop the match. I forget which which female fight it
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: was that I think it was last year, the year
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: before where the girl's head was lumped. Oh yeah remember that?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I was like, oh wait, wait this happened
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: last year, right, Yeah, I was actually at that fight.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I know this happened two years ago. Yeah, it was
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: like it was like a year or two ago. Yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: it happened in twenty twenty before the whole pandemic. Yo,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that was while he's saying versus Joe Wan and Joe
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Jake check, I remember that fight. I was dead that fight.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I was watching that fight. Her head was I was like,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: there is she gonna be all right? Like yo, she
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: was Okay, that went back to normal. But that was
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: one of the best fights I've ever seen in the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: women's division ever. That shit's crazy. That kind of head
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: trauma can't be I don't know, man, That's why I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: mean I think, like, uh, I feel like fighters peaks
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: are usually shorter than like any other type of athlete.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You know, you'll you'll, yeah, there's a lot of wear
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and tear on your box like a short peak. Like
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: even if you can think of like Connor McGregor, like
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: what he probably have like a four year runs like that,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that dude and then they you know, I feel like
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he's still the name, he's still the draw, he's still
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: going to sell pay per views. But like in terms
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of like he's you know, he's he's lost or whatever.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: He's lost. He's been losing, right, Yeah, but I'm a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: fan of his striking. You know, it's kind of hard
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: when you're a striker, Like wrestlers is like the answer
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to that. So if you're a striker, a bad matchup
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: for you is a wrestler against a wrestler. They'll tire
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you out. Is that what happened with the Maga Dude
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and Jorge Mazudal. Yeah, you know what's crazy? Yeah? I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: think so because he has wrestling on his side, you
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? And Mazdal is a striker, you
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: give me, so between that matchup, you know, I would
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: love to go for Mazadal. I would love for him
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to win, but I knew Kobe was gonna win because
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: he got wrestling, Like wrestlers are strong man, strong people.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: On this album, I feel like there's some moments that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: are extremely vulnerable, extremely honest. Like I guess for you,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: like how much of this album was like you had
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to get some shit off your chest. I guess all
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of it, yeah, because it felt that way, especially the intro,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: like that was just laying my demons out on front street,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: like all my flaws out front off the rib. Yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want a sugarcoat shit. I know where I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: fuck up at. You feel me, So I wanted to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: put that on front streets so people know, like, hey,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I'm human, like I be doing fucked up shit and
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I'll be going through fucked up shit. You know that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean I can't change. That doesn't mean you can't
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: change either. If you did something, if you made bad
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: choices in your day, that doesn't stop you from making
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: good choices later. You know what I mean. That's real.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And I just wanted to show my self on front
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: street where I didn't hide behind clever bars or I
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: didn't hide behind a personality. I just wanted to show you, Denzel. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Now that's what it felt like. What
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: are the things that like? Because you obviously had a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: crazy I mean, what's it been about ten years? Ten
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: year run? Yeah, and you still are here. You're still
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: very successful, more successful than ever, You're still very relevant.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: You're saying you're not, you know you you know some
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: people ten years in you could tell like this is
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: an industry been good on you, you you know what I mean.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: One of the things that you've obviously you you mentioned
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: mult typing form of therapy, but is there anything else
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that you've kind of been able to adapt to just
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: kind of help you deal with just the anxiety or
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: just the pressures of being an artist or just like
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: when you're feeling down throughout my time through a quarantine
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Actual therapy was helping me, like
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: talking to a therapist, talking actually to a therapist. Was
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it on zoom? It was? Sometimes it was on zoom
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it was in person, but I would have
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to wear a mask and I will have to get
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the little click at that. Yeah, like oh you got
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a regular temperature. But yeah, it was that. It was
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: martial arts, and it was just being close with God,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like trying to like find your connection back with God
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and writing writing on his album. That helps a lot,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, Right, it's kind of
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: like a journal type thing, right, Yeah, it was like
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: diary entries. Yeah, now that you were saying you do
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: hot yoga too, we were talking about hot yoga. Man, Hey,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you can't be just putting a ship out on front street.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Was so passionate about yoga. Yes, today I just fuck

• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I remember in Phoenix he had a battle at the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Celebrity Theater and he had on stage, which was interesting.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Way you was there for that? I was not there,

  Speaker 1: new Spawn movie. They should because the first one was good,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't like great. Yeah, they're saying they're trying
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to get Jamie Foxx for it. I don't know about that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You don't think so maybe the first one. I was
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like as a kid, I was like, yeah, it's far.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: As an adult, I'm like, this ain't that far. Just
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: like that movie right there, Belly, when you When I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: was a kid, it was the best movie ever. And
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: then when I like really started like find out about
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: like you know what cinema like, I'm like, Okay, visually
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's amazing. Just the story the story of Belly is terrible,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: super terrible. But you watch it and it's like there's
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: moments in the movie that are like iconic and like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that's all that Like as like a ten year old
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: who's favorite from the actual movie Yeah, like the end
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: where they come in and the shits in their eyes
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and they get the guns from the toilet. But it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: probably the in my opinion, the best worst movie ever
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: for nostalgia purposes. There are movies that are like that,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: like the best worst movie. Oh, there's a lot of
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: shitty good movies. I guess we'll call them shitty. What's
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: another one? Damn, what's another one? Every movie Matthew McConaughey
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: has been in except Dallas Spiders Club. You know, I
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: never got into Matthew McConaughey movies. Man, shit. I used
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to think Dared Deevil like that move is wraw until
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I realized, like, I don't like the way that Ben
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Affleck acts. He's in a lot of those movies we're
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, he's in a lot of those except

• 22:49
  Speaker 1: was Crazy. Jeelie with j Lo they say is like
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the worst movie ever. But I as a kid, because
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I used to be obsessed with Jlo, I was like,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's it's not terrible, but Belly
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: definitely terrible, not as bad as Belly Too. Belly was
• 23:06

  Speaker 1: were kind of class of hip hop. You were like
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: right before a lot of you know, you were on
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the same shows with a lot of these kids. I
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: think the first big show I might have saw you
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: on was the first or second Rolling Loud? Was it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the second Rolling Loud? There was like a second, Yeah,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: it was the second Rolling Loud I DJed. It was
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the one that was in Winwood. Mmm. And that was
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the first one. No, that was the second one. That
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: was the first one, No, because I didn't It was
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: two of them. Well, the first one had Schoolboy Q headlining,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: uh and Travis. Yeah, I didn't go to that one.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I was. That was the one that rained. Yeah, yeah,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: my cousin was working a dope. The second one I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: DJ'ed at, And that was the one. It was a
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: little Way in the Future headlining, and it was in Windwood.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: That was in twenty sixteen or fifteen, only sixteen sixteen.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: It was twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen, Yeah, twenty fifteen. But
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you were, you were on the other stage. But it
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: was crazy because it was like twenty one. Savage was
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: super young, and I remember he was. I think he
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: went on before you. But just in terms of like
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the class of like hip hop, you are, like I
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: feel like you were kind of like right before when
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: things get started to get really, in my opinion, not
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to my liking. I suppose I look at like twenty
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: seventeen twenty eighteen, like rap is like the Dark Ages.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I can't I can't even call it the Dark Ages
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: because you got some gems and you no, no, there's gems.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying everything, but in terms of like just
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff labels were signing. Oh, you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: like we would have like guys like kid Boo coming
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to get to the station, and this guy was like
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the whole reason he got signed is because he went
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: viral for saying he was like a clone or like
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: there was Instagram kids getting like support. Supreme Patty got
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: offered a deal from three hundred. I don't think it
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: takes that much to get nowadays, because you just got
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to have an image and shit and you can make
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: a cool song or whatever. But my thing is is,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: like I feel like twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen it was
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: rough because I would just be like, what the fuck
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: are these labels seeing in some of these like it
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: was just the Cloud era, Yeah that's what he era,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: peak Cloud era. Man, it was the Cloud era, And
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad that it like kind of has faded
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: away a bit. It was the way it faded out
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: was pretty horrible. What do you mean, like people dying
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: from overdose? Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I think the cloud era usher back in the gangster
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: rap era, because right now, like I feel like this
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: is a gangster rap era. It's like happening all over again.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I think about EStG and Yo and like, I mean
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of those guys, they're the biggest dudes, are
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: getting biggest bags. Dirk, you know, we can go. But yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: it's crazy because you're like, you probably knew a lot
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of these dudes, and I you know, just in terms
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: of like the drug shit and hip hop. Man, it
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: was it was just it's just crazy to think of
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: all the talent that we lost over the last I
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of these guys that you know that
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: we lost in hip hop were guys that I met
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: back in the day. I mean, X, if you know
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: our history, X used to live with me. There's one
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you know we lost. What year was that that was?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: X lived with me in twenty sixteen and then he
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: started to living with Bruno in like twenty seventeen around
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: that time, and then he blew up. Well, actually it
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: was later that year. It was like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. Yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: So for people who don't know, because I'm not totally
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: hip to I knew you guys were cool, but like,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: give me the history of you and X, because at
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that time, I'm sure, I mean, I would get into it. Yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: but you know, I've talked to everybody about like, you know,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Ex's legacy, and I'm just trying to build my own shit.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I respect that. I respect that. I know
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: everybody know tons of information about X already. That's fair.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: That's fair. Feel what I'm saying, like actually recycled stories
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: about X nowadays because they want to know more about him.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: But my time with him is what I told other
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: interviewers and ship. So what about the biggest misconception about him?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You live with somebody, you really get to know him,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean shit, like what you see is
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: what you get. That's whatever you saw is what you got,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: That's how he was. How do you feel about where
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Florida is right now in the game, because now I
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: feel like it's not only I mean, before it was
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: like Miami Dade County, you know, Uh, it was really
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a Southern Florida, South Florida vibe that was holding down
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the state. But now the whole state is lit. Yeah,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the whole state is. Lando's popping, JAP, Tampa's on the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: way up. You know. There's some artists in Tampa that
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: are dope. But yeah, like you ever heard of I
• 35:50

• 35:59
  Speaker 1: That's the they just signed. Yeah, they just signed her
• 36:02

• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a week ago, but but they just announced it. They
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: signed her, Oh they did. Yeah, I think they just
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: announced it. But yeah, she straight out of Tampa too.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying. I remember when I
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: first met her and she was like, I came to
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: your show back in like two thousand and something. I
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: was like, what was the keyboard City shows were crazy? Yeah,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: So I was just thinking to myself, like damn. But
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that Florida's on the rise right now, like
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I just embraced it all. You get what I'm saying,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: It's not just South Florida doing something. You feel me
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: like just opening that door for Florida, regardless of how
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: it sounds like. It could be ratchet, it could be
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: beef and whatever it is, right, you know what I'm saying.

• 37:12
  Speaker 1: a vibe until it's not. I think Florida is a
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: vibe into it. That's the thing. Is like when you're
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: from Miami, like we don't associate with the rest of Florida.

  Speaker 1: Miami rapper. I like him more than I like Rosso,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and Ross is talented as fuck. You know what I'm saying,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: best year for beats ever. Maybe it's up there. It
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: is up there. But Gunplay is like Rawness, Like that's
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Miami rappers. There's yourself, there's Ross, there's Gunplay obviously, trick Daddy,
• 41:47

• 42:08
  Speaker 1: that's where Fort Lardale is, right, Yeah, yeah, Okay. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: gotta still give it to Ross. And I think I
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: think Ross is like the tenth best rapper of all time.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I made a list and I had Ross at number ten,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: And I know that's high for a lot of people,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: that's high. But if you listen to teflon Dawn and
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Oh Deep In to Rap, you can't tell me those
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: aren't certified classics. Those are classic ass albums. I agree,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: And I mean just the consistency, bro like he's still
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: going the flow is butter. What he brought to the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: game is. I mean, he's in my I always say
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like ten, he's he's top ten, and I put him
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: at ten. I like Ross because he brought something different
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to Miami, you know what I'm saying. Definitely, he really
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: brought something different really prior to that, Like if you
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: think it Daddy Trina, the Slipping Slide era flow Rider,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: that shit was just not like, like I feel like
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Ross embodied like what we thought of Miami when we
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: saw Scarface, but like an updated version of like some
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: boss like Kingpin. Like it just was like it just
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to me, it properly displayed that side of the aesthetic
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: of Miami as to where like Trina and Trick, where
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: there was a whole other aesthetic of Miami that's like

• 47:32
  Speaker 1: seeing who was gonna hit me back. And I was
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: reaching out specifically to producers, not even to an artists,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: and Ta Paint was just one of those artists I
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to reach out to because I just wanted his
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: insight with you know, yeah, with just music and me
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and Ta Pain's relationship it started at Bonnorou Festival in
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, like he liked my cipher. Of course, I
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: grew up on his music. I grew up on rapper

• 48:16
  Speaker 1: then you know, I reached out to him and I
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, I'm about to call you because you know,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: I changed my number. I don't know if he changed
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: his number. Reached out to him and I was talking
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: to him, just bigging them up and just letting him know, like, yo,

• 48:58
  Speaker 1: And I wanted his feedback on two tracks that I
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: have on the album. So one of them was Worst
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Come to Worst, and I sent Troubles. They were two opposites,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: and those were like the leading singles for me before
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I made any of the other records. Sent it to him,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: and he gets back to me. He said he loved Troubles,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: and he was like, Wor's come the Worst is fire too.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: If I was you, I'll put both of them bitches
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: out at the same time on different blog sites. And
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I was like that's it ain't gonna work, you know
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Also blogs like whatever years, you know
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: what I mean. So he really loved the Troubles record.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: He really liked that record. So my manager Mark a
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: year later, he was like, Hey, we think about sending
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: that record in t Pain to see what he's gonna
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: do with it. So I'm like, all right, whatever, you know,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: you send it to most people. Most people don't get
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: back to me because it's me, you know what I'm saying,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: even though they don't know me like that, you know.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: So basically what happened with that was t I'm going
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: in the Multai class and T Pain texts me. He's
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: like yo, and I'm like yo. He didn't reply, and
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just like all right, whatever, so you know, I'll
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: call him probably at some point. Then the next day,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I'm at my homie Power's crib, which who also produced
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: on this record, and you know, we going over some stuff.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I get a text some T Pain a drop box
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: folder and I opened a folder and you know, I'm
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: listening to it and I was like, oh, this is
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Troubles and this that and the third you know, and
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: then next thing, you know, his voice comes up and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shit, I start spassing because the man
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: ripped it. And he gave me classic T pain, like
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: in T Pain that everybody knows. Fact, you know what
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. He gave me T Pain, T Pain. He
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: gave me him great record, and what he was writing
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: about was so really, I know you felt it. You know.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: I felt that shit firsthand. And I was even I
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: even got self conscious a bit, and I was just like, damn,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: should I change my verse? He was like nah, and
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: then POWERS like nah, hell noah, bro, like that's the record,
• 50:54

  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's the pain, you know what I'm saying. No,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's he's one of them ones. I mean,

• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: I have all my old Ninja turtles from when I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: was a kid still in my garage. I'll be looking
• 1:00:14

  Speaker 1: or the most expensive toy that you actually cost you
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: like the most money? Man, It's kind of hard to decide.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I forgot how many, like how much one of my
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: toys costs. Damn, there's a lot over a thousand. I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: don't even know over a thousand. I think as my
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: toys as a whole is over one thousand, probably over
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: two bands. That's tight. Small Soldiers had a solid soundtrack.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: They had a song with Bone Thugs on that soundtrack
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: that was fire. Yeah, that was a good movie. I
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: didn't remember the soundtrack though. Only tends to be a
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: big Bone Thugs fan as a kid, So like anything
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Bone Thugs is on, we would we would buy this, like, oh,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: they're on the Batman and Robin sound track, let's buy it.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Small olders, though, people forget about that fucking movie. Those
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: toys look so raw. I bet they do because the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: fucking old movies based on the toys. So like you, like,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: even the old school toy story toys looked hard because
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: it felt like it was like the same buzz like Woody.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: I actually got those toy ks too, you know, Oh
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: so your ship is just nostalgic. Yeah, I got a
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: lot of Dragon ball Z toys. Are you a big
• 1:01:22

• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: what's your what's like the goat anime to you. Cowboy Bebop.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: Cowboy Bebop, that's the goat anime for me. People think
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: it's Dragon ball Z and I love Dragon ball Z,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I bought my son
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: the Blu Rays box set of Dragon ball Z. I
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: didn't realize how many episodes were on each season. That's like,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's like more than like most shows.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: But the thing with that, that shit that should just
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: get hella turned up, you know what I'm saying. Like,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: I rewatched all non seasons of it during Quarantine and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, this should give me anxiety again,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: like because they'd be powering up and you think something's
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, and then they got to go to the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: next episode. You're like, what the hell's going on? You know?

  Speaker 1: to talk shit. And Kitty goes in there and kills
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: it one take. Wow, you know what I'm saying. And
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: then after that I go home. They made it one
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: more track that night, and they said it ain't no
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: way to me. But originally we wanted Rico to have it.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: That was supposed to be Rico's record, but David was like,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: you know, it's all fair game. Whoever wants it could
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: have it. And to be honest with you, I didn't
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: want no features for this album. The only feature was
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: t paying. That was the only one I allowed. But
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: when it came down to the final stages and nobody
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: was claiming this record like it was gonna be hard
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: for powers to clear it, you know what I'm saying,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Rico didn't want the record, even though I felt like
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: it fit for her. Like I was like, my management
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: was like, why don't we just put this record on
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: the album? And I was just like I was on
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: the fence about it at first, because I'm like, how
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: the fuck we gonna get all this shit cleared? So
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: many different moving parts, so many Yeah, and we all
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: know each other though, and so we was of course
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: we was gonna make it work. So we go to
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Electric Lady and I finished a little half. I added
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: more to my verse because it was short, it was
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: the same same length as Jizz Verse. I added more
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: to it, and Robert Glasper started adding his like keys
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: over it. Next thing, you know, the song was completed,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: and that's how that song came about. You didn't tell
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: me how Buddy got on it. Oh buddy shows up
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: and then he just ended up did the same shit.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: That's so crazy that like, because we don't hear that
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: those kind of sessions anymore, especially that many people like
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: it's always some email and that shit sounded like there
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: was no email, all in person, and there's pictures and
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: videos to prove that all of us was there that
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: night recording this track. Tell me about you know, you
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: have a crazy discography. How many plaques do you have? Three?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Three plaques? That's big independently, Yeah, I was saying independent.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: I mean no, I mean that's huge. Your discography is
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: very diverse, it's very vast. What is your If I
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: had to ask you what your favorite album is, it's
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be this one excluding this one. How about that?
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Excluding this one? Yeah? Shit, I can't tell you, bro,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: I don't really got like a favorite album. Like I
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: hate looking at my old work. What is the song
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: that you hear that's popular of yours or that you
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: hate to perform because it's like so old And you're like,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm so I've evolved so much past this, but the
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: fans fucking love it. I mean, I would say ultimately,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: but I love that song. It's fucking great, you know,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: like I would say Claude Cobain, but I love that
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: song too. I like Ricky, but I love that song too.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: And those are my hiss. But one song that I like,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: I don't feel confident performing, but I love it so
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: much because it's my favorite song that I ever made.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Is this Life Okay? From Imperial? Is it like, is
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: it weird to like when you put a track list together? Obviously,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: every time you put a new album out, you're like,
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: when you go on tour, you have to change up,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: you switch up your track list. Is it kind of hard,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: like dropping some records that you've been performing for some years.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: It's like I'm kind of getting rid of some of
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: my kids on this tour. Yeah, I mean at first
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: it's hard, and then we like we would put those
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: records back in, and then when the crowd doesn't move
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: because they don't know it, we take them right back out.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: So it's like an almost like an always evolving play
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: like track list. When you're when you're when you do
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: your tours, are you gonna be torn? For this album,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, man, some
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: people are weird out by COVID still and give a fuck.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: I caught COVID twice twice? Was it the omicron? Was
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: it the O G COVID? For Nah, I didn't get
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: the og COVID. I didn't get the killer COVID. I
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: don't think. Okay, thank god, but nah, I got on
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: COVID last year in July, on July fourth. Actually didn't
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: even know. I just thought the ship was allergies and
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: I was moving around jogging all types of shit. Actually,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: one of the tracks on this album Mental, I wrapped
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: that while I had COVID and I didn't even know
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: COVID track. Yeah, that was the COVID track. Did you
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: vax that thing up? As Juvenile would say, did I
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: vex that thing? Did you see the Juvenile I vexed
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: that thing? Did you see that? Did you see the video?
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: You didn't see the music video they paid Juvenile to do. No,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so good. Juvenile did a remix
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: of back that ass up and he called it vaxed
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: that thing up and they did a music video. Oh
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: my god, it was like a ju juvie vax. That
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: thing up. I swear to it's it's It was. Probably
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to come out of the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: pandemic was the fact that Juvenile did that. I was
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: just like this, I don't know what to think about this,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: but I'm just glad it happened. It kind of sucks,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: kind of sad, but you know, oh my god, when
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: pandering goes wrong, because it was like a government thing,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: you know, they're like, yo, how can we get minorities
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: to get vaccinated? You know what? Juvenile hey man, Back then,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: it ain't sound sorry fetched. They got me to stop
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: telling motherfuckers to stop vaping. I mean, yeah, vapor is
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: probably not the greatest thing for you, yep, and so
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: is covid. This is not the greatest thing for you either.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: So it is what it is. When you say they
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: got you, did you do a campaign for that? Yeah,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: I had to keep it up for a few months
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: and shit. And then it was like, why would you
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: do a campaign of no vapor? And I was like, well, shit,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I was already telling motherfuckers stop vaping for free, might
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: as well get the bag. Yeah, vaping's bad, and it's
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: not far fetched from what I was already telling motherfuckers.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: It's not like I was just out the blue just
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: being like, hey, you stop vaping. Do you have a
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: friend that vapes, like like a serious vapor, Like it
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: was my booking agent. I got him to stop vaping.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: They won't like like if you have a friend that
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: has like a hardcore vapor, it's like it's like attached
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: to them, Like it's like the big rig with the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: little thing. I know people that are still vaping, Like
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: one of my I ain't gonna name his name, but like, yeah,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: he'd be vaping. I'd be like, man, that should be smelling.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I came here, I was like, man, get this shit
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: out of here. Though. I feel like one of those
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: big vape rigs. A Fox Racing T shirts, some cargo shorts,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: some DC shoes, Oh my god, just a busted down
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: black and white trucker hat and ICP playing. When I
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: think of vapors, that's what I think of. Well, hey,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: so look the album is out March twenty fifth. Yep,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: the twenty fifth. Why they get break down the title
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: because the title is is yeah, it's a lot, Okay,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: the whole thing with the whole title melt my I
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: See a Future. When I first made that title, it
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: was supposed to come out after Taboo, and I just thought, like,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: I I made this long ass title. It sound fire,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: that's all I thought it was. I was like, damn
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: if I was thinking of a fire name or album
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: what I call it? And I was like, my I
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: see your future. I was like, shit, that shit, it
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: sounds hard. But as I started working on the album,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: it was pretty much about awareness at a point, and
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: then I was like, but I'm not gonna name an
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: album awareness. Yeah, that's like that's whack as fuck, Like
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna name my album awareness be a terrible
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: album name. He's like, awareness, we need to be aware.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Like shut up, like you know what I'm saying. You've
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: already made people aware to stop baping. Yeah. Of course
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: awareness was done exactly so when I made so when
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: I started working on it more it was more so
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: about myself and it's discovering who I am, and you know,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: like a self discovery type of thing and flaws and everything,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm good at and what I'm not good at,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: what I need to work on, what I don't need
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: to work on, you know, And it just became about
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: melting the perception who of what people thought? I was
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: all right, you know because during the quarantine, you know,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: before that, before we all had to isolate, people were
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: telling me, Yo, you're the greatest rapper, or you're this,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: or you're that, or you're a great performer, or you're
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: the best rapper all the time, or you're this. But
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: the moment quarantine happened, all that shit did not exist anymore.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: What do you mean that shit didn't exist? You're just
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: getting like praises praise. So when people wasn't telling me
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: who Denzel Curry was, then who are you? Who the
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: fuck am I? Exactly? That's real if you Yeah, because
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: if that's always happening, because you're always out, you're alway
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: running around, you're always seeing people, you can kind of
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: just live off of that. Yeah, and you're living off
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: your own high. Yeah, you're smelling your own high. You're
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: smelling yeah. No, it's real roses a bit. And you
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: can exist in that way until you can't until it's
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: all gone. And then once it's all gone, you are
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: completely on human level. Yep, with everybody, you were on
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: the same plan field. You get know what I'm saying,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: Anything could happen. So once I got to that point
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: where I was like, who am I? It just took
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: two years to figure out and like do a little
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: soul searching and self discovery the time with the time
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: I did have, So the pandemic was great for you
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: personally personal growth wise. Hell yeah, I think, I mean,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I think I feel like I still got shipped. I
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: need to work on. Of course, you're never going to
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: not have shit. You should work on. No one's ever
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be perfect. But as in being a totally perfect person,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be that. Being a totally flawed person,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be that either. That's fair. Well, shout
