- 0:26Speaker 1: did a record on this Harrod fraud album I did.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Then I named the record Jamaine dupre because it reminded
- 0:34Speaker 1: me of when I've seen Bro on MTV uh cribs,
- 0:39Speaker 1: So it made me speak on it name the record
- 0:41Speaker 1: after him. And then he heard it and he hit me.
- 0:43Speaker 1: I was like, just come to the studio, like you
- 0:45Speaker 1: should come through, like let's do a record. Well, what
- 0:47Speaker 1: I thought was just come to do a record. But
- 0:50Speaker 1: then we jammed up, like it fell right and we
- 0:53Speaker 1: never stopped working. Did y'all always cool with each other?
- 0:55Speaker 1: Did y'all know each other? Were just not not at all? No,
- 0:58Speaker 1: as soon as we jammed them, it was like a
- 1:02Speaker 1: step brothers. It was like yo, like you for real?
- 1:04Speaker 1: Like did we just become like best friends? Doll? Like
- 1:07Speaker 1: we just jammed up, just now we got so many records. Man,
- 1:10Speaker 1: Let's go back to that MTV cribs thing, right because
- 1:12Speaker 1: you know nowadays and you see rappers doing that should
- 1:14Speaker 1: looked like this everybody flossing. But back then it really
- 1:17Speaker 1: used to inspire people. So I was talking about that, yes,
- 1:20Speaker 1: like dude had the icebergs. I don't just all the
- 1:23Speaker 1: stuff that was out of my reach that time, you
- 1:26Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And like they always see it
- 1:28Speaker 1: like hot kids like saw a Black Panthers, like yo,
- 1:31Speaker 1: you look like us, Like I'm like, no, this nigga
- 1:33Speaker 1: look like us, Like this this hit right here. You
- 1:36Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So you could do it because
- 1:38Speaker 1: the only people I've ever seen on that was like
- 1:40Speaker 1: I keep telling them how colden House and shit like that,
- 1:44Speaker 1: and then bam he coming like yeah, this hard. But
- 1:46Speaker 1: let's talk about that. What do you think the difference
- 1:48Speaker 1: is back then? Because I remember seeing JD Like the
- 1:52Speaker 1: first time I even I seen an exotic sports called
- 1:55Speaker 1: with JAD had to lamboat with the invented doors with
- 1:56Speaker 1: the doors up and he put the kids on it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: So for me, it wasn't like flaws and it was inspiring.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Right when I used to see squiz or or hole.
- 2:03Speaker 1: It was bust up, it was inspiring. Why do you
- 2:06Speaker 1: think people don't look at it now? Is inspiring? Now?
- 2:08Speaker 1: They look at it like, oh, he's floors and why
- 2:09Speaker 1: why do you think it's the difference they are that's
- 2:11Speaker 1: what they're doing it. I mean, you know, it got
- 2:14Speaker 1: to a point where like people, you know, there was
- 2:16Speaker 1: a TV show and they was trying to make a show,
- 2:19Speaker 1: um and they started actually renting houses for people that
- 2:23Speaker 1: didn't have houses. They started renting cars for people who
- 2:26Speaker 1: so that that so that the situation would look the
- 2:29Speaker 1: same as whoever they had on the show. I think
- 2:31Speaker 1: that's where they messed up, you know what I mean,
- 2:32Speaker 1: that's where they took that part of what you're talking
- 2:34Speaker 1: about out, because I mean the last one I remember
- 2:37Speaker 1: was when like they tried to do that with Red
- 2:38Speaker 1: Man and Red Man was like, nah, I'm gonna take
- 2:40Speaker 1: you out of my house in Jersey and it was
- 2:42Speaker 1: like a you know what I mean, he stayed in
- 2:43Speaker 1: like a townhouse flownhouse, right, and they was trying to
- 2:48Speaker 1: give him a house and call and hen and he
- 2:50Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. So I mean, you know,
- 2:52Speaker 1: that's pretty much what happened. It is like people just
- 2:55Speaker 1: was like, nah, let's let's fake it and make it
- 2:57Speaker 1: look like this is my house and these are my cars.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Man episode was as impactful a stack of video games,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and I was like, well I could. I could also
- 3:08Speaker 1: this is me too. I could also do this too
- 3:11Speaker 1: if I got And also, I think because you knew
- 3:15Speaker 1: that whoever was on cribs back then actually worked for that,
- 3:18Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Nowadays it's just like you
- 3:20Speaker 1: can stand in front of somebody mansion and stand in
- 3:22Speaker 1: front of somebody family like what we're asking what do
- 3:24Speaker 1: these people do? That's true. We didn't have what JD
- 3:26Speaker 1: did back then. Yeah, we knew what he did, so
- 3:30Speaker 1: how was it working with j D? It was like,
- 3:32Speaker 1: you know, honestly, it was like a dream, bro, because
- 3:35Speaker 1: I've been in the game for a long time and
- 3:38Speaker 1: just on the outside look. And then that's one of
- 3:40Speaker 1: the people that I figured. You know, that was like
- 3:43Speaker 1: somewhere else that's out of space. You know what I'm saying,
- 3:45Speaker 1: So you speak on it. You know. If I named
- 3:47Speaker 1: the record Jermaine Dupre, I never thought I was gonna
- 3:50Speaker 1: meet Jermaine Dupre or anything. That's why I like y'all
- 3:53Speaker 1: never met. That's you know what I'm saying, Like y'all
- 3:55Speaker 1: both be outside, like yeah, but especially like y'all be outside. Yeah,
- 3:59Speaker 1: but it's different. It's two different worlds, realms, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 1: like worlds completely like in his group of people in
- 4:09Speaker 1: the section may include like who you want just throw
- 4:12Speaker 1: names around, all right, and it's me and the homies.
- 4:17Speaker 1: We're not gonna it's not gonna happen, you know what
- 4:19Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's just great that it did. And
- 4:23Speaker 1: it's like when I when I thought I was gonna
- 4:25Speaker 1: go to the NFL the NBA, I used to look
- 4:26Speaker 1: on the back of the cards and look at peoples
- 4:28Speaker 1: birthday and see who would be in the league when
- 4:30Speaker 1: I got there, you know what I'm saying, And like this,
- 4:32Speaker 1: this is like that shit just exactly like that I
- 4:35Speaker 1: was working with currency. It's dope, but you know what
- 4:37Speaker 1: it was, because um, it's it's it's it's interesting because
- 4:41Speaker 1: I don't we never talked about songs like usually I
- 4:44Speaker 1: talk about what we're gonna do prior to even making
- 4:47Speaker 1: a beat. Um, he rolling up, I'm making a beat.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't even know
- 4:54Speaker 1: if he knows what's happening, but um, it just happened.
- 4:58Speaker 1: We never made one record where we talked about what
- 5:00Speaker 1: we were gonna do. It's just organically happened. So I
- 5:04Speaker 1: felt like, you know, the first five records that I
- 5:06Speaker 1: saw this happened, I'm like, oh, this is this is
- 5:08Speaker 1: something that's this is what organic I guess feels like,
- 5:12Speaker 1: oh it means right. By the time we got to ten,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, this is this is really something
- 5:18Speaker 1: different than what than what I usually you know, usually
- 5:20Speaker 1: it's a process of like we're gonna make a song
- 5:23Speaker 1: like this, and we need to make a record like this,
- 5:25Speaker 1: and we need to do this and put this person
- 5:26Speaker 1: on there. We ain't had none of them conversations, but
- 5:29Speaker 1: we got to that process at the end of the songs.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You know, as as the legend you are j D.
- 5:35Speaker 1: When you saw him name the song after you, how
- 5:37Speaker 1: did that make you feel? Because let's be real, people
- 5:39Speaker 1: don't give you the credit the credits you deserve, man,
- 5:41Speaker 1: not at all. That's that's that was crazy, you know
- 5:43Speaker 1: what I mean. I feel like that was like, um, um,
- 5:46Speaker 1: that's the thing I said. The least I could do
- 5:49Speaker 1: is do a record for him, you know. I mean
- 5:50Speaker 1: that's the least I could do, because nobody had ever
- 5:53Speaker 1: done that. That's that's taking acknowledging me to a whole
- 5:57Speaker 1: nother level, right, And it's other people that don't even
- 5:59Speaker 1: have that, that don't even get that that level of
- 6:02Speaker 1: like somebody naming a song after you. You know, so
- 6:04Speaker 1: I never thought that and I never saw that in
- 6:06Speaker 1: my forecast just to even happen, like oh, I can't
- 6:09Speaker 1: wait till they start naming records after me, Like you
- 6:11Speaker 1: don't even think like that. So it was, it was.
- 6:13Speaker 1: It definitely took me back, like damn okay, and you
- 6:17Speaker 1: know it also it also was refreshing and a reset
- 6:20Speaker 1: because what he did was he made me um um
- 6:26Speaker 1: love and and and and and all the things that
- 6:30Speaker 1: I love, he loves them like and he and he
- 6:33Speaker 1: makes you appreciate. He makes you appreciate stuff like that,
- 6:37Speaker 1: like the call on the desk right there, like you know,
- 6:40Speaker 1: I collect toys, you know, this is so so the
- 6:44Speaker 1: things that I do. Sometimes people come out studio, they're like,
- 6:47Speaker 1: why you got all these toys in there? But he
- 6:48Speaker 1: came studio, he's like picking them up, looking like my
- 6:51Speaker 1: son will go crazy over this, and he just started
- 6:54Speaker 1: makes you appreciate the stuff that you actually already do.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna ask you know, both
- 6:58Speaker 1: of you guys are all are very underrated in your
- 7:01Speaker 1: both crafts, right, so you know, currency you've been out
- 7:03Speaker 1: for so long, you put up so many records, and
- 7:05Speaker 1: I feel like the world is doesn't necessarily give you
- 7:08Speaker 1: the credit you deserve. And the same thing with yourself, JD.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Do I have that those kind understand Yeah, we don't
- 7:14Speaker 1: have the conversation like but but we just it's an understanding,
- 7:19Speaker 1: like you know that that's why we do what we do.
- 7:22Speaker 1: But we also know, like the ceiling that that that's
- 7:25Speaker 1: almost over you by not being an asshole and waving
- 7:28Speaker 1: your own banner and demanding that people give you accolades
- 7:31Speaker 1: and notice what you did, we just keep putting, you know,
- 7:34Speaker 1: putting the numbers up the ship work. I feel like
- 7:36Speaker 1: you have to do that when you're from the South though. Yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 1: and if people want if you want people to if
- 7:41Speaker 1: you want that and you have to do that, yes,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If you just want to
- 7:44Speaker 1: take care of your family, pay the bills and ball
- 7:47Speaker 1: out on your own accord. Then you don't have to
- 7:50Speaker 1: do it because like I always say, like I still
- 7:51Speaker 1: want to go to Walmut and look for high wheels
- 7:53Speaker 1: and shit, you know, but I want to go in
- 7:56Speaker 1: a ferrari or something. So I work hard enough to
- 7:59Speaker 1: do that, you know what I'm saying. But I'm not
- 8:00Speaker 1: worrying about the other ship that comes with it, like
- 8:03Speaker 1: those being in those circles and done all that shit
- 8:06Speaker 1: that that don't because all the guys of noble always
- 8:08Speaker 1: be like, oh, I'm the king of New York hip hop.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Wayne didn't get into conversation, so he said he the
- 8:13Speaker 1: best rapper. Yeah, ta, I didn't get into conversation, so
- 8:15Speaker 1: he said he the king of the South. I feel
- 8:17Speaker 1: like when you're from the South, you have to say it.
- 8:19Speaker 1: You have to, you have to, you know, But all
- 8:22Speaker 1: you could just stack your paper up. Yeah, that's that's
- 8:25Speaker 1: really what matters. That's that's really what matter. Jad You
- 8:28Speaker 1: feel like you started popping your shit a little too late, Nah,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to even say that because that's
- 8:35Speaker 1: what I'm on cribs. I'm popping shit, I guess, right,
- 8:38Speaker 1: But you know, I think people start paying attention too late,
- 8:42Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, you know, I was
- 8:45Speaker 1: popping shit at nineteen. I don't think people start paying
- 8:48Speaker 1: attention to Jermaney free to like I was twenty five,
- 8:50Speaker 1: twenty six years old. Because even now when people start
- 8:53Speaker 1: speaking of like the records I did, they leave criss
- 8:56Speaker 1: Cross completely off that whole list, right, So half of
- 8:59Speaker 1: my existence in the popping shit era, you know, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 1: people didn't, you know, and they weren't no breakfast club
- 9:08Speaker 1: when I did money anything. And just imagine if it was,
- 9:11Speaker 1: I would have stacks in here, would have been it was.
- 9:16Speaker 1: It wasn't no breakfast club when we was doing that, right,
- 9:18Speaker 1: and then people weren't even throwing money we did. We
- 9:20Speaker 1: the first first guys on TV throwing money in a video, right.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So um, I just think people just they don't, they don't,
- 9:29Speaker 1: they weren't in that era of when this happened. And
- 9:33Speaker 1: then they start hearing that they should compare me to somebody, right,
- 9:37Speaker 1: and then that's where the that's where the lack of
- 9:39Speaker 1: it happening happened came from. And then I'm from the South.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I represent Atlanta right to the fullest. So therefore the
- 9:47Speaker 1: South always gets slighted. It just just what it is.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's not a it's not an old no we don't.
- 9:52Speaker 1: It's a true fact as we get slighted, not as
- 9:54Speaker 1: much anymore, not as much anymore. No really, really, we
- 9:58Speaker 1: just really got this really bad, really really bad. Recently
- 10:02Speaker 1: at the Grammys. Yeah, No, No, No, No two Live Crew.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Luke Scott Walker is the listen. Luke Scott Walker is
- 10:12Speaker 1: the reason that the parental advisory sticker is on every
- 10:17Speaker 1: rap record in the world. Right, how do you do
- 10:21Speaker 1: hip hop fifty And you do not put the person
- 10:24Speaker 1: who put that sticker on these records on the show.
- 10:28Speaker 1: He could talk on the mic. Hedn't have to rap,
- 10:30Speaker 1: he could have just came out and for representation. And
- 10:33Speaker 1: I feel like, if you're gonna, if you're gonna slight Luke,
- 10:36Speaker 1: they're gonna always slight. You made the Prix because I'm
- 10:38Speaker 1: saying I don't think I did the parental advisory thing.
- 10:41Speaker 1: I haven't done anything that's that monumental to this is
- 10:45Speaker 1: this is forever in hip hop, right, this is this
- 10:48Speaker 1: was on your mixtapes, This is forever. This is something
- 10:52Speaker 1: that everybody had to feel because of what they did
- 10:55Speaker 1: in Miami and you can't put that man on the show, right,
- 10:59Speaker 1: that's a fact. Yeah. I think about it like that
- 11:02Speaker 1: Luke when survived. I don't want them to start digging
- 11:04Speaker 1: up old Luke shit. They started digging up old Luke shit.
- 11:07Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get Luke out of here in
- 11:08Speaker 1: two thousand. But you have a look back and think about,
- 11:12Speaker 1: you know, some of the things that you've created, right,
- 11:15Speaker 1: like because it's a lot of this stuff came from
- 11:17Speaker 1: the tree of Jamaine dupri and Social death Right, people
- 11:20Speaker 1: that work for you. That was intern people that you employed,
- 11:23Speaker 1: and you have a look back at that and be like, people,
- 11:25Speaker 1: this is from my tree, and most people don't know. Yeah,
- 11:28Speaker 1: we talked about By the way, yesterday we was we
- 11:31Speaker 1: had a listening party last night, but prior to that,
- 11:34Speaker 1: we was getting ready for the listening party, was doing
- 11:35Speaker 1: a photo shoot and they was playing Never Scared right,
- 11:38Speaker 1: And he was like why. He was like, why are
- 11:39Speaker 1: they playing this song? And I'm like, that's my artist
- 11:43Speaker 1: and he was like, I was like this all right.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I was like, what playlist is this? Like so so deaf?
- 11:47Speaker 1: Like all right, So they played the ones you know
- 11:50Speaker 1: for sure they're supposed to play like after by Wile
- 11:53Speaker 1: Bounce with me went off, right, So I was like, oh,
- 11:57Speaker 1: they're just mixing it up, like playing some stuff. Really
- 12:00Speaker 1: that I knew that. I didn't know that. I didn't
- 12:04Speaker 1: know that. And then when he was talking to me
- 12:07Speaker 1: about that shit, the Young Blood record came on and
- 12:12Speaker 1: I was like, so this one too, you know what
- 12:15Speaker 1: I'm saying? That fuck me. I'm like, I didn't even know.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Like he was like, yeah, now they were sign them.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Yea little John used to work for Jimmy Dubri. Yeah,
- 12:21Speaker 1: this is the tree that you That's what I'm saying.
- 12:25Speaker 1: If he don't know this right then, I don't know.
- 12:28Speaker 1: He was in the restaurant with escaped them in the video.
- 12:32Speaker 1: That's all I knew. I was like, his nigga did
- 12:34Speaker 1: all that. I'm saying, that's the ones I knew. I
- 12:40Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't know that he that he did
- 12:42Speaker 1: that album for Young Blood and I had no idea
- 12:45Speaker 1: knew the franchise boys right now, Yeah, I know all
- 12:47Speaker 1: the people and see me if you hear me, Yeah,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I saw it. You know what I'm saying. But I
- 12:51Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't know that. So so it's crazy
- 12:55Speaker 1: because they put this list out of executives. I think
- 12:59Speaker 1: yesterday whatever the thing was like the top ten CEOs,
- 13:03Speaker 1: and somebody who's asking me, do I think I should
- 13:05Speaker 1: be high on the list, And I'm you know, I
- 13:07Speaker 1: don't care about that list, but I should be hired.
- 13:09Speaker 1: But because I'm sure they did the exact same thing
- 13:12Speaker 1: he's doing. They not even factoring in half of the
- 13:16Speaker 1: artists that's that's come from this tree that you speak up.
- 13:19Speaker 1: But history has to matter, right, because you know, you
- 13:21Speaker 1: can't have a mount Rushmore of Atlanta without Jamae dupre
- 13:24Speaker 1: on them. Yeah. But you know, so if Atlanta, if
- 13:26Speaker 1: the way people reve in New York, right, they're gonna
- 13:29Speaker 1: put the architects of New York on, you gotta put
- 13:31Speaker 1: the architects of Atlanta on. Yeah. I just think that,
- 13:34Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta, modern day Atlanta is so hip hop,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and um, I was doing both, you know what I mean.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I got I'm responsible for a lot of R and
- 13:46Speaker 1: B that comes from Atlanta, and I'm responsible for a
- 13:48Speaker 1: lot of hip hop from Atlanta. And I feel like
- 13:51Speaker 1: the mind set them now when they talk about it
- 13:53Speaker 1: CEOs today, it's all hip hop. It's all hip hop.
- 13:56Speaker 1: So you know, even in that space, people try to like,
- 14:01Speaker 1: I didn't know you did, Anthony Hamilton, you know what
- 14:03Speaker 1: I mean. It's like you try to move out a
- 14:05Speaker 1: lot of the things and it's it's it's just a
- 14:07Speaker 1: I think it's just people just not living in the
- 14:09Speaker 1: arrows or not just not knowing if you don't see me,
- 14:12Speaker 1: because it's crazy because I'm the only person that I
- 14:15Speaker 1: feel like if I put my tag on my record,
- 14:18Speaker 1: put the tag on the record, they know. But if
- 14:19Speaker 1: I don't say nothing, I just try to be straight CEO.
- 14:23Speaker 1: And just like I'm putting out records, people don't ever
- 14:26Speaker 1: mention me doing them songs something you feel like you
- 14:31Speaker 1: got something to prove what this project? Yeah, I mean
- 14:34Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like this, this project is
- 14:37Speaker 1: really who I am. This record, this project is really
- 14:40Speaker 1: what where I actually come from. This is rapp, this
- 14:43Speaker 1: is what this is how I started. Um, it's a
- 14:45Speaker 1: reminder to let people know that though, because I think,
- 14:48Speaker 1: like I said, when people start talking my Jamay pre
- 14:50Speaker 1: the first name that come out of people with Mariah
- 14:52Speaker 1: carry Usher all of these you know, I'm a hip
- 14:56Speaker 1: hop guy, you know what I mean? I write songs,
- 15:00Speaker 1: you know, with the gift that God gave me. But
- 15:02Speaker 1: I'm I'm from the hip hop world, and that's what
- 15:06Speaker 1: it is. What makes you work with with new artists
- 15:08Speaker 1: like we've seen you did Division's album. What makes you say,
- 15:10Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna dive into some of the
- 15:12Speaker 1: new artists that are not mine as well. I mean
- 15:14Speaker 1: that's how I always. I mean, that's always, that's what
- 15:16Speaker 1: I did. Always. I mean, I Usher became a staple
- 15:20Speaker 1: of mind because I did the same thing as I
- 15:22Speaker 1: did with Division. Um, when I did Usher, nobody you
- 15:25Speaker 1: know us, the face was gonna drop Usher. It was like,
- 15:29Speaker 1: you mayne either works, so all of y'all it's out
- 15:31Speaker 1: the door, like you know what I mean. So it's
- 15:33Speaker 1: like I've always been that guy to just like, I
- 15:36Speaker 1: don't have no problem work y'all believe in the artists.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I like the artists. Let's go in the studio. So
- 15:42Speaker 1: I don't I don't never have the I don't even
- 15:44Speaker 1: look at it like that. And I and I and
- 15:46Speaker 1: I had to do that at first. But then when
- 15:49Speaker 1: I did ar Lennox and her record went number one,
- 15:53Speaker 1: I was like, why am I not doing this? For
- 15:56Speaker 1: all these other artists out here? They needed. It ain't
- 15:58Speaker 1: even like a thing that I'm doing for me. They
- 16:01Speaker 1: need it. They need somebody in the studio with them
- 16:04Speaker 1: that can help them take them to the next level.
- 16:07Speaker 1: When you hear the conversation, like when you hear them
- 16:09Speaker 1: say Usher versus Chris Brown in the verses, I think
- 16:12Speaker 1: Chris is dope, but I think Usher got nuclear weapons.
- 16:15Speaker 1: I just think it's a difference between the twenty Usher
- 16:18Speaker 1: would come with and the twenty Chris would come with.
- 16:20Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? I mean, I think
- 16:22Speaker 1: that it's it's it's still, it's once again, it's the same.
- 16:27Speaker 1: It's like hip hop, it's like currency. Right. He got
- 16:29Speaker 1: he got He got way more records than a bunch
- 16:32Speaker 1: of people, right. Um. I think that's where people look
- 16:37Speaker 1: at They think about how many records Chris has and
- 16:40Speaker 1: how many times they hear him. You hear Chris one
- 16:44Speaker 1: hundred million times more than you hear Usher. So I
- 16:48Speaker 1: think that's where people start basing verses on. They don't
- 16:51Speaker 1: they're not you're speaking on songs. People don't even listen
- 16:55Speaker 1: to songs past thirty minutes. Right. I were watching my
- 16:58Speaker 1: daughter player record and the verse don't even get done.
- 17:00Speaker 1: She don't get through sixteen bars, She's going to another song, right,
- 17:04Speaker 1: So they don't measure the songs like you're saying. So
- 17:07Speaker 1: I feel like the young generation they all gonna say
- 17:10Speaker 1: Chris Brown because they're not measuring how big the songs are.
- 17:13Speaker 1: But if you're a song person, you know for sure
- 17:15Speaker 1: what's up. Yeah, so you think I should washing is?
- 17:20Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, if you're a song person,
- 17:23Speaker 1: having them songs as mine. So I'm fighting for my records. Yeah,
- 17:26Speaker 1: now I want to ask currency to You've been independent
- 17:28Speaker 1: for a long time? Yeah, now break that back them?
- 17:32Speaker 1: My success like really everything that anybody like really like, No,
- 17:37Speaker 1: the bread, anytime I got picked up money, it was
- 17:40Speaker 1: all through the independent thing. You're independent. You have to
- 17:43Speaker 1: do everything yourself. You have to play paper, ducers, pay
- 17:46Speaker 1: clearances everything. Yeah, does that get tiring? No? I got
- 17:50Speaker 1: I got my homeboy. You know what I'm saying. Musa dude,
- 17:52Speaker 1: you know we we like split everything, so it's easy.
- 17:55Speaker 1: It's easy and shit. So when you had people talking
- 17:57Speaker 1: independent route, do you think I've been doing this for
- 17:59Speaker 1: a long time? An as easy as that they think
- 18:01Speaker 1: or saying I just said it, really because you as
- 18:05Speaker 1: long as you get out your own way and handle
- 18:07Speaker 1: it and stop comparing yourself to other people in these situations, Like,
- 18:11Speaker 1: just just do your work and when you look up,
- 18:13Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you realize what you've done
- 18:15Speaker 1: and where you act. That's the whole thing. Independent people
- 18:18Speaker 1: like always you keep working with the phone and watching
- 18:21Speaker 1: what everybody else doing, these people with these machines behind
- 18:23Speaker 1: them and all that shit, then you feel like you're
- 18:25Speaker 1: on the traidmill. If you just do your work, then
- 18:27Speaker 1: then you'll do it. You know, what's the most you
- 18:29Speaker 1: ever got offered from a label, because I know they
- 18:30Speaker 1: offered you, and you know they come with like a
- 18:33Speaker 1: couple of million dollars, But it don't matter at this
- 18:36Speaker 1: point now because like we see it so it's straight.
- 18:39Speaker 1: That's the blessing. I always used to see, like what
- 18:41Speaker 1: Master Pete turned down the deal that they tried to
- 18:44Speaker 1: offer him because he knew what he was making and
- 18:46Speaker 1: the way they structured down. I'm like, yeah, that was dope.
- 18:48Speaker 1: But now we just flat out don't have to talk
- 18:51Speaker 1: to him at all. You know, just fuck it, We're
- 18:53Speaker 1: already making that shit. It's just as much as you
- 18:56Speaker 1: want to roll as many times you want to start
- 18:58Speaker 1: the bust and get on the road, go pick money up.
- 19:00Speaker 1: That's the whole thing with the independent rout You building
- 19:03Speaker 1: your listeners and then you just go to see them
- 19:05Speaker 1: and just just you pretty much a pop up shop yourself.
- 19:08Speaker 1: You just go and travel. People who want to shop,
- 19:10Speaker 1: but you, they're gonna pull up. You're gonna make your bread.
- 19:12Speaker 1: So it's more de touring in the merch that. Yeah,
- 19:15Speaker 1: for sure. The music is like the advertising for everything
- 19:18Speaker 1: else we have. Like I can't speak on jet life,
- 19:20Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But as long as we
- 19:22Speaker 1: keep upping the music out, we'll always be able to
- 19:24Speaker 1: move the clothes and ship like that. And we're about
- 19:26Speaker 1: to drop furniture and everything else now, so yeah, yeah, well,
- 19:30Speaker 1: I mean it goes with the lifestyle. You know, you're
- 19:32Speaker 1: doing pretty good, You're probably gonna kick back a little bit,
- 19:36Speaker 1: so you know, we're gonna put out some coutures and
- 19:38Speaker 1: with joint holdings, ash trays and such building you know
- 19:42Speaker 1: what I'm saying, with lumbar support for you to be
- 19:45Speaker 1: stoned and hang out and watch the TV and ship out.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you what made you create jet Life?
- 19:51Speaker 1: The clothing brand, and you know it'd be nice if
- 19:53Speaker 1: if if you know, you furnish this place a pain,
- 19:55Speaker 1: we could do that, We could do that. We'll definitely
- 19:57Speaker 1: put you out down when we come with the furniture
- 19:59Speaker 1: and we're sending bigger enough boxes of close to everybody.
- 20:02Speaker 1: What made you create that? Because it does so well well.
- 20:05Speaker 1: I always was into like fashion. I always wanted to
- 20:08Speaker 1: like put stuff on and some shit was not out
- 20:12Speaker 1: some ideas that then ship that I missed a lot
- 20:14Speaker 1: of clothing line stopped doing stuff that I liked, and
- 20:16Speaker 1: I was al, I know what to do with Just
- 20:18Speaker 1: do our own ship and keep it in that vein
- 20:21Speaker 1: of the stuff I missed, and that's what works out
- 20:23Speaker 1: for you. Have a surprised with the amount of support
- 20:25Speaker 1: you get from the club A long Yeah, I see
- 20:26Speaker 1: it everywhere Like I am a model, So I am
- 20:33Speaker 1: a model, sir, I am. I am no bro, you
- 20:37Speaker 1: are a great spokeshed person for the brand though I
- 20:44Speaker 1: am a bottle bottle, So look, man, I am surprised
- 20:49Speaker 1: on places where I don't expect to see it. And
- 20:52Speaker 1: motherfucker's having on this and you could tell like that
- 20:54Speaker 1: didn't know that they're having on it. It's not like
- 20:56Speaker 1: some kid gave it to his mom and she's at
- 20:58Speaker 1: the grocery store. I'm talking about people but into the note,
- 21:00Speaker 1: such as yourself, who have it on, like like Nas
- 21:04Speaker 1: after he wins the Gramm, he's got the Jet Life
- 21:06Speaker 1: jacket on and like a lot of it, had a
- 21:09Speaker 1: freestyle that went everywhere, and she had the Jet Life
- 21:11Speaker 1: letting them in jacket on and shit. So it's like,
- 21:13Speaker 1: even though I'm not in those rooms, I'm still in
- 21:15Speaker 1: those rooms and shit. So it's tight because they know
- 21:18Speaker 1: what I mean, you know, so they bring it everywhere
- 21:21Speaker 1: whether they feel like I should be at anyway, So
- 21:23Speaker 1: it's tight. I bet you used to get high and
- 21:26Speaker 1: walk around furniture stores. What nah? You know? I used
- 21:32Speaker 1: to get it roasted and go to the aquarium okay
- 21:35Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Yeah, but not not furniture. So
- 21:37Speaker 1: how did you get a love for furniture? I like
- 21:39Speaker 1: the chill and it's all about finding like comfortable chilling stuff.
- 21:43Speaker 1: So we're gonna make our own the same reason like
- 21:45Speaker 1: I didn't necessity, the same reason we did Jet Life clothing.
- 21:48Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like we need better stuff
- 21:50Speaker 1: to chill on. So I'm gonna feel the void. So
- 21:53Speaker 1: you be sitting in the couch like this. I don't like.
- 21:55Speaker 1: I don't like this. Mother. Yeah, I'm like, you know
- 21:58Speaker 1: what this shit is not. It's not different niggas to
- 22:00Speaker 1: kick it on. So we're working on it. You know
- 22:04Speaker 1: what made your name the album? I mean the record essence?
- 22:07Speaker 1: Oh did well? You want to speak to that? Yeah? Um, well,
- 22:12Speaker 1: it's a it's a rivalry between the Falcons and the Saints.
- 22:15Speaker 1: This is a real thing, right, um. And for the
- 22:20Speaker 1: longest when we first started working, I was like, you know,
- 22:22Speaker 1: if we're gonna do an album. Once we got past
- 22:24Speaker 1: the first ten songs, I kept thinking in my head,
- 22:26Speaker 1: if we're gonna do an album, we have to make
- 22:29Speaker 1: something that speaks to that rivalry. Or we can't act
- 22:32Speaker 1: like because we ain't supposed to be cool when that
- 22:35Speaker 1: game come on, right, So we can't act like we
- 22:38Speaker 1: don't know this, Like, this is something that you know.
- 22:40Speaker 1: If you're from Atlanta, you know that. If you're from
- 22:42Speaker 1: New Orleans, you know that, right. So then we both
- 22:45Speaker 1: start trying to find out why it's a rivalry. But
- 22:47Speaker 1: then it's also a love there. It's a love that
- 22:50Speaker 1: you know if you're from Atlanta. You talk about going
- 22:52Speaker 1: to Essence Fest in January, it don't happen to July. Right,
- 22:57Speaker 1: This is something we prepare for all like the top
- 23:00Speaker 1: of the year. People like it, you know, they're getting
- 23:02Speaker 1: their clothes ready in January to go to New Orleans. Um,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and I feel like, um, it's vice versa. When people
- 23:08Speaker 1: come to Atlanta for the games from New Orleans. They
- 23:10Speaker 1: come out there and they have a good time. They
- 23:12Speaker 1: love the city. So it's a love hate situation, and um,
- 23:16Speaker 1: I think the one thing that brings that love and
- 23:18Speaker 1: that hate together is the Essence Fest. Right, So it
- 23:22Speaker 1: was just only right. And then once we got to
- 23:24Speaker 1: bounce the record, and it was to bounce and the vibe,
- 23:28Speaker 1: and he had never wrapped over a record like that,
- 23:31Speaker 1: now that he's a full fledged professional artist, Um, it
- 23:35Speaker 1: just made sense to like bring all of that in
- 23:38Speaker 1: and not leave one piece of that out. And I
- 23:40Speaker 1: think the Essence Fest brings every piece of the fact
- 23:44Speaker 1: that the first time you heard Get the Game, oh yeah,
- 23:47Speaker 1: I heard it at a party and that's when first
- 23:50Speaker 1: heard so you know the way my mind worked, I'm like, Noah,
- 23:52Speaker 1: that's it. The gavel dropped right, now that's the name.
- 23:54Speaker 1: That's the name of it. That's a New Orleans classic, right, yeah,
- 23:59Speaker 1: I told him, like it's in the fiber of all
- 24:02Speaker 1: the music that ever came out after it from New Orleans.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Everybody who rapped has rapped over that beat. Like the
- 24:09Speaker 1: first rap you ever wrote was over that, I promise.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Like in the club you ever been to, you could
- 24:15Speaker 1: have been eleven years old. They knew you could rap.
- 24:17Speaker 1: That was the beat they put off you can rap,
- 24:21Speaker 1: and you had to rap over that ship like straight up,
- 24:23Speaker 1: so everybody knows it. JD. Did you create one or
- 24:27Speaker 1: six apart? Yeah, I mean, you know, see the funny
- 24:31Speaker 1: part about this. The funny part about this is that, um,
- 24:37Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't speak about I mean, I'm a CEO, right,
- 24:41Speaker 1: So this this goes into the world of like what
- 24:45Speaker 1: were just talking about. If you don't see Jermanity pre working,
- 24:49Speaker 1: you don't see me doing what we gotta do, then
- 24:51Speaker 1: you're gonna always you're not gonna believe anything that happens,
- 24:54Speaker 1: right because I wasn't when Charlemagne just said I wanted
- 24:57Speaker 1: to reverse this and ask you a question, when you said,
- 25:00Speaker 1: get the respect that I'm supposed to get How do
- 25:02Speaker 1: you feel when you see something that you didn't think
- 25:05Speaker 1: was gonna work? That's mine and it works. How do
- 25:09Speaker 1: you feel about that? I mean, I don't know. It
- 25:11Speaker 1: shouldn't make you feel anyone. You probably don't care. But
- 25:13Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I never thought about it. But
- 25:15Speaker 1: if I'm thinking about it, I'm like, well, why would
- 25:17Speaker 1: anybody doubt somebody who's made several things work? Okay, But
- 25:21Speaker 1: I'm saying so when I brought the kids from the
- 25:23Speaker 1: rap game here, remember this, he was like, I want
- 25:26Speaker 1: to see no kids? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah out of here. Yeah.
- 25:32Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. How does that make you
- 25:33Speaker 1: feel like? It? Don't make you feel like, oh, I
- 25:36Speaker 1: you know, because I'm saying that's that's what That's what's happened, right.
- 25:40Speaker 1: So that's the same thing that's happened here, right if
- 25:43Speaker 1: you what I should say is j D congratulations again. Yeah,
- 25:48Speaker 1: but nobody says that. Don't want to congratulations. But I'm saying, um,
- 25:54Speaker 1: I say that to say that if I if I
- 25:56Speaker 1: wouldn't have brought them here. Y'all saw the kids. You've
- 25:58Speaker 1: seen them from scratch before there was ever anybody If
- 26:03Speaker 1: you didn't see it and nobody else and people have
- 26:05Speaker 1: forgot about that show at this point. And I said,
- 26:08Speaker 1: I created a TV show that introduced you to Loto.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Somebody would challenge that. Somebody would challenge you and say, no,
- 26:19Speaker 1: you didn't and you know what I mean. Like, so
- 26:22Speaker 1: it's the same thing when when when I saw MTV
- 26:27Speaker 1: TRL right, I used to drive down the street because
- 26:32Speaker 1: we was working. I was working here, I drive that street.
- 26:35Speaker 1: I see all these kids outside on in Tom Square
- 26:37Speaker 1: and I'm like, damn, why black kids don't have a
- 26:40Speaker 1: show like this? Right Meanwhile, I'm making the BAA record
- 26:45Speaker 1: and I'm like, BT needs to do this now. If
- 26:50Speaker 1: they had this idea and they mind prior to me
- 26:52Speaker 1: saying this, then God blessed them. But I'm saying, what
- 26:56Speaker 1: artists was they gonna launch that show with? Because I
- 27:01Speaker 1: provided the artists that made that show what that show became. Right.
- 27:07Speaker 1: It wasn't no Chris Brown before Bow. It wasn't no
- 27:10Speaker 1: Little Romeo before Bow. It wasn't no littles. And I
- 27:13Speaker 1: think somebody got mad at me for saying the little
- 27:15Speaker 1: because I ki it was a little Kim And I'm
- 27:24Speaker 1: clearing this up. I meant the littles of his era,
- 27:27Speaker 1: not the little John's Yes, a little person forever. I'm
- 27:32Speaker 1: just saying, I'm talking about all of little Romeos Zane,
- 27:38Speaker 1: Like who I mean, I don't know, you know, I
- 27:40Speaker 1: mean these people that came and that bow wow Lane,
- 27:42Speaker 1: That's what I meant. But I'm what I'm I'm still saying.
- 27:46Speaker 1: If people don't realize that, you know, that's why people
- 27:50Speaker 1: don't even understand that I'm the one who gave Biow
- 27:53Speaker 1: the name is the one those six and part BT
- 27:55Speaker 1: didn't give him that name, So why would I name
- 27:59Speaker 1: him that? You know what I'm saying, Like, why would
- 28:01Speaker 1: I put that in a verse to say I'm missed
- 28:03Speaker 1: the one THO six and part So why wouldn't Stephen
- 28:05Speaker 1: Hill just acknowledge that because he said it wasn't true?
- 28:07Speaker 1: Just didn't create one. Um, I believe that. You know
- 28:12Speaker 1: I didn't work at B two, right, So if you
- 28:15Speaker 1: and I have a conversation, you don't come back to
- 28:17Speaker 1: this office and tell everybody I talked to Jermaine for
- 28:20Speaker 1: two hours, three hours on the phone. You're just gonna
- 28:22Speaker 1: come back in here and say, Envy, let's do this.
- 28:25Speaker 1: I don't do that I'd like to give people their credit. Yeah,
- 28:27Speaker 1: but I mean it wasn't about me. I didn't. I don't.
- 28:29Speaker 1: I didn't want the credit for one those six and
- 28:31Speaker 1: part right, I'm not even saying I'm not speaking on
- 28:33Speaker 1: it now about me wanting the credit. What I was
- 28:36Speaker 1: speaking on on that show was the fact that what
- 28:38Speaker 1: I do for my artist right when when you are
- 28:42Speaker 1: part of what I'm doing, I'm gonna call envy and
- 28:45Speaker 1: be like dog they said we couldn't come to the
- 28:47Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. What's happening. I'm gonna take that extra mile
- 28:50Speaker 1: to do what I have to do to make sure
- 28:52Speaker 1: that my artists get that stretch right. And that's all
- 28:56Speaker 1: I was saying. I put a call in to Stephen
- 28:59Speaker 1: Hill and say, Yo, we need to do a show
- 29:02Speaker 1: that looks like blah blah blah blah blah because I
- 29:05Speaker 1: have this new artist by the name of bow Wow.
- 29:08Speaker 1: If that is that me making it, I don't know,
- 29:11Speaker 1: but I know that that's what happened. So you know
- 29:14Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And people can take however they want
- 29:17Speaker 1: to take it. I don't understand you and bow All
- 29:19Speaker 1: the relationship. Yeah, why don't you just grabbing put them
- 29:21Speaker 1: in the headline give him a nugget and then y'all family.
- 29:26Speaker 1: When he says things like he regrets signing to you,
- 29:29Speaker 1: it's like, we your JD made you a superstar. It's
- 29:33Speaker 1: also it's all I think. I think the outside world.
- 29:36Speaker 1: You know, it's the same thing I said, you kids
- 29:40Speaker 1: of today and this generational hip hop, we have a
- 29:43Speaker 1: lost appreciation for things, right And that's why I said
- 29:48Speaker 1: about being with currency, it's it's you. Everywhere I go,
- 29:52Speaker 1: I'm seeing people don't have appreciation for hip hop and
- 29:55Speaker 1: that has become a thing in hip hop now, to
- 29:58Speaker 1: not appreciate the things that came and got you to
- 30:02Speaker 1: this space, right. Um, and he was it was like
- 30:07Speaker 1: a father figured him. Yeah, but I know he was
- 30:09Speaker 1: like his sudden I feel like the outside world makes
- 30:12Speaker 1: you not appreciate that. That's what I'm saying. It's that's
- 30:14Speaker 1: what it does. It's it's the hip hop word. Are
- 30:17Speaker 1: we live in right now? Don't appreciate shit, like for real,
- 30:20Speaker 1: Like when I wore the hot top fade the other
- 30:22Speaker 1: day in the video, right, it's people on there that's
- 30:27Speaker 1: so much more concerned with me thinking that I want
- 30:30Speaker 1: to wear this at at my age and saying I'm
- 30:34Speaker 1: going to a midlife crisis, as opposed to looking at
- 30:36Speaker 1: it and saying, damn, that's some shit. That hip hop.
- 30:39Speaker 1: That's what you would do if you was what hip
- 30:41Speaker 1: hop did, right. Hip Hop made niggas do any and everything,
- 30:46Speaker 1: and we never had a problem. We never questioned it.
- 30:49Speaker 1: It was because it was hip hop. And now if
- 30:53Speaker 1: you do something that hip hop makes you do, or
- 30:57Speaker 1: if you even try to this, no appreciation for it.
- 31:01Speaker 1: And that's that's I think that's where that is. And
- 31:03Speaker 1: I feel like ba Wow is in that space where
- 31:07Speaker 1: he has to deal with you guys. He has to
- 31:09Speaker 1: deal with younger guys. And the media definitely don't appreciate nothing, right.
- 31:15Speaker 1: They just they don't. They don't. They don't until it's
- 31:18Speaker 1: until it's over with. But it's just certain people like
- 31:21Speaker 1: I'm never gonna fight with Right, and we can fight
- 31:23Speaker 1: behind the scenes. I'm never gonna fight with Clue, Right,
- 31:25Speaker 1: that's that's my brother. I'm never gonna fight with Fab.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Even you, I'm not gonna fight with you. You know,
- 31:29Speaker 1: we could get into an argument, but it just seems
- 31:31Speaker 1: something else was there, which is just hard to understand
- 31:34Speaker 1: because I mean, I will fight but fighting argue. You
- 31:38Speaker 1: know what I mean, But yeah, I don't. I mean,
- 31:39Speaker 1: I only have no reason to argue. I mean, I
- 31:41Speaker 1: feel like I understand it. I understand don't. Yeah, that's
- 31:45Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But you but but that's what I'm saying.
- 31:46Speaker 1: You don't. You don't understand it because you haven't had
- 31:49Speaker 1: to deal with a person that has to go through this.
- 31:54Speaker 1: This a rapper, right, you're a rapper. You say this,
- 31:57Speaker 1: you're a rapper, and people challenge you. If you write
- 31:59Speaker 1: your lyrics, people challenge you on this, people challenge you
- 32:02Speaker 1: on that that that it's hard for a person to
- 32:05Speaker 1: actually deal with that, um, if you're not prepared for it. Right, me, Like,
- 32:10Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck with nobody will say about
- 32:12Speaker 1: me because I know what I do and I know
- 32:14Speaker 1: I'm out doing everything the damn and everybody else is doing,
- 32:18Speaker 1: so I'm not even paying no attention to it. But
- 32:20Speaker 1: the majority of people, they can't deal with it. That's
- 32:23Speaker 1: why that's why the instagram is where the instagram is,
- 32:26Speaker 1: because every time somebody says something, people look right, and
- 32:31Speaker 1: that's I feel like that's where he is. He gets
- 32:33Speaker 1: caught up in that and he's got caught up in
- 32:35Speaker 1: that a lot, Right, without me being around, he got
- 32:38Speaker 1: caught up in that they's created or what the bow
- 32:40Speaker 1: I challenge. I wouldn't a part of that, Right, How
- 32:43Speaker 1: do you deal with that as a person? Right? He
- 32:45Speaker 1: had to deal with it and you killed him. Right,
- 32:48Speaker 1: it's just listening to know what I'm saying, you know
- 32:51Speaker 1: what I mean. And it's like when a person is
- 32:54Speaker 1: dealing with that, they become they just get tight and
- 32:56Speaker 1: they want to you know what i mean. So then
- 32:58Speaker 1: you want to try to like make it seem like
- 33:01Speaker 1: you got it all you hand, you got it all
- 33:03Speaker 1: on you know, it's you got it, it's your it's
- 33:06Speaker 1: my thing. So it's like, you know, it's just a
- 33:09Speaker 1: situation where you gotta you gotta know how to deal
- 33:11Speaker 1: with it. And you don't get coaching by this. I
- 33:13Speaker 1: didn't coach him that. I didn't teach him how to
- 33:15Speaker 1: deal with that part of life. But he asked to
- 33:17Speaker 1: know somebody eventually gonna do that to him too, and
- 33:19Speaker 1: they do do it like people will take away act
- 33:22Speaker 1: like wo has just always been on Instagrams like full
- 33:25Speaker 1: fledged superstar. Yeah, I mean that's what I'm saying. It's
- 33:28Speaker 1: no appreciation for anything in hip hop anymore. Damn you
- 33:31Speaker 1: feel like we currency too. No, as he's saying it,
- 33:34Speaker 1: I'm peeping it around like that. That that is insane.
- 33:37Speaker 1: They just wipe that all out. That's crazy. You feel
- 33:40Speaker 1: like people don't have appreciation of hip hop. I feel
- 33:43Speaker 1: like what people don't have an appreciation for hip I
- 33:44Speaker 1: have appreciation for things? What what brought what brought them
- 33:49Speaker 1: into it? Like what made you want to do it?
- 33:51Speaker 1: That's all? You know what I'm saying. It's not it's
- 33:54Speaker 1: not why why you want to do it? Everybody's doing
- 33:56Speaker 1: it now like the same reason everybody started selling friendship puppets,
- 33:59Speaker 1: like they just wanted to get money. It's just a flip,
- 34:01Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's not no real love
- 34:03Speaker 1: in it. Are you selling front of puppies? Yeah? People
- 34:11Speaker 1: see that. That's the way, Like that's the new dope.
- 34:13Speaker 1: So they're like, fucking let's just do this right quick.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. J D and Puff
- 34:18Speaker 1: is supposed to do versus who you got your money?
- 34:21Speaker 1: I'll roll with j D at basically based on all
- 34:25Speaker 1: of the shit that I'm finding out, like oh you
- 34:27Speaker 1: did this, you did that, Like yesterday I had like
- 34:30Speaker 1: a revelation. I'm like, I don't know how this would
- 34:33Speaker 1: actually look when you're ragining these artists, like people gonna
- 34:38Speaker 1: be the same way. I was shocked, and I think
- 34:40Speaker 1: I'm like bun in the game. I know everything. You
- 34:43Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But I was like knocked on
- 34:46Speaker 1: my ass yesterday or some shit. So that's what it's
- 34:48Speaker 1: gonna be. A whole arena of people like, oh you
- 34:51Speaker 1: know he did? Oh wait, all right, well yesh shit,
- 34:54Speaker 1: I don't know. Goddamn you know like that, that's what's
- 34:56Speaker 1: gonna happen. That's the way I see it straight up. Like,
- 34:59Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how many records puffle
- 35:02Speaker 1: bring out that I'm going back. I didn't know that
- 35:05Speaker 1: I think I know? Ever, did I think I know it?
- 35:09Speaker 1: You know? So how do you feel about it, J
- 35:11Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't don't. Yeah, I mean,
- 35:14Speaker 1: like I said, I I just look at it. I
- 35:17Speaker 1: actually see it. I see the chart, right, you know
- 35:20Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like, um, but like you said,
- 35:23Speaker 1: it's not only the records, it's also what that record
- 35:26Speaker 1: did for the culture, right, Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 35:28Speaker 1: I'm it's like I said, I'm not. I'm like I
- 35:31Speaker 1: said about the Chris Brown thing. I believe that in
- 35:34Speaker 1: versus world, people won't give it to us because of
- 35:40Speaker 1: the way the mindset has been, you know, been treated.
- 35:43Speaker 1: We've done that battle in him with kids, Like with
- 35:45Speaker 1: kids like that twenty five twenty six Usher catalog still
- 35:49Speaker 1: rings timeless to them because their parents was listening to us.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Oh I forgot about that. Oh I forgot about it. Yes,
- 36:00Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, like I said, I feel
- 36:02Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's I mean, I'm the underdog.
- 36:05Speaker 1: I'm not even tripping on that though I'm the underdog.
- 36:08Speaker 1: That's not true though, I mean, I'm not and that
- 36:15Speaker 1: and that thing. It was a Vegas card. I think
- 36:19Speaker 1: that you know, everybody the favor would be, you know
- 36:22Speaker 1: that he would be, that he would be the underdog.
- 36:23Speaker 1: I'm talking to me that people who haven't paid attention there, No,
- 36:25Speaker 1: they haven't. But that's what I'm saying. I'm the underdog
- 36:27Speaker 1: because it's like people who everybody, everybody sits around and
- 36:30Speaker 1: they say they're the ones who are running this bit.
- 36:33Speaker 1: They sit around and they say he can't match up,
- 36:35Speaker 1: and they only talking about big That's it how long
- 36:38Speaker 1: I've been saying that. That's all he said. You just
- 36:40Speaker 1: say big, he said rap. That's why I said take
- 36:42Speaker 1: out It should be an R and B remix versus
- 36:46Speaker 1: take Out the Road because you can't be big records
- 36:49Speaker 1: because not only because they're great records of nostalgia, big immortal. Yeah,
- 36:53Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's the only reason why people
- 36:56Speaker 1: say he can't match up because they're talking about big,
- 36:58Speaker 1: and they're talking about big. You're talking about big, biggest big.
- 37:01Speaker 1: But I'm saying, it's if it was a fight, I
- 37:04Speaker 1: don't go into the fight thinking I'm not gonna get punched.
- 37:07Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's just when I throw
- 37:09Speaker 1: mine and when he throw is That's what it is.
- 37:11Speaker 1: It ain't about he got punches. I got punches too,
- 37:14Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It is what it is. Is
- 37:15Speaker 1: Is its gonna happen for real? Or is it just
- 37:17Speaker 1: just talk? No, It's gonna happen. It's it's it's it's
- 37:20Speaker 1: it's bigger than what people think. What we want to
- 37:23Speaker 1: do is bigger than what what everybody's thinking about, and
- 37:26Speaker 1: we want to make sure that you know it. Come
- 37:28Speaker 1: across the way it's supposed to come. Acros'll do it.
- 37:30Speaker 1: You'a gotta do figure out how to do two, because
- 37:31Speaker 1: you can't just do one in Atlanta. You gotta do
- 37:33Speaker 1: one like Atlanta in New York. You gotta got to
- 37:35Speaker 1: pick a neutral location to be honest or something. You
- 37:42Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. Atlanta, gotta do Atlanta,
- 37:45Speaker 1: you got you gotta do New York. Gotta do Apollo,
- 37:48Speaker 1: and you gotta do R and B in remixes. Do
- 37:51Speaker 1: R and B in one city, hip hopping another. And
- 37:53Speaker 1: see the problem with the remixes. I saw somebody saying
- 37:56Speaker 1: this the other day, Right, half a Bad Boy remixes
- 37:59Speaker 1: idea right, So the Big Popper remix, I did it right,
- 38:04Speaker 1: right the Total and Craig I mean total and Keith Furry,
- 38:08Speaker 1: I did it right total, first first record that ever
- 38:13Speaker 1: came out, got Brad on it right. It's it's it's
- 38:17Speaker 1: how do you score that? How do you score that?
- 38:20Speaker 1: You gotta drop those out. You can't drop them out.
- 38:23Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's like, you know, so you
- 38:25Speaker 1: do the remake. But I saw somebody saying, but in
- 38:28Speaker 1: New York, we ain't played at JD remix, and I
- 38:30Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, my remix. Yes, we did the
- 38:32Speaker 1: Biggie the Big Poper remix. I don't I'm just saying
- 38:35Speaker 1: I'm seeing people say that on Twitter, but I'm just saying.
- 38:38Speaker 1: It's it's it's either way you do it. You know,
- 38:41Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a fight whether we in New
- 38:44Speaker 1: York or were in the Atlanta. Either way, what came first?
- 38:47Speaker 1: Was it we invented the remix bad Boy album or
- 38:49Speaker 1: the definition of a remix Social Death album? Um, I
- 38:52Speaker 1: think mine was coming first. And I don't know. I
- 38:56Speaker 1: don't know which one came out, you know, but I
- 38:59Speaker 1: mean still I don't know. I mean, the remix thing
- 39:03Speaker 1: has always gonna battle between us. But it's it's interesting,
- 39:07Speaker 1: like I said, because Puff was using me for remixes.
- 39:10Speaker 1: It's not like I was a challenge for him. Back then.
- 39:15Speaker 1: It was like go to j D and get a
- 39:16Speaker 1: remix for Big Papa, Go to j D and get
- 39:19Speaker 1: a remix for a total um that. You know. I
- 39:22Speaker 1: always wondered how much influence did you in Atlanta have
- 39:25Speaker 1: on Big because you know, we saw you saw y'all
- 39:28Speaker 1: in big videos, a lot of all Big in y'all videos,
- 39:30Speaker 1: and I remember hearing somebody said Big, I think it
- 39:32Speaker 1: was Jays. Somebody said Big was gonna move to Atlanta.
- 39:34Speaker 1: At one point. We're trying to get everybody by houses
- 39:36Speaker 1: in Atlanta. I mean, well, I don't know about that,
- 39:38Speaker 1: but he and I spoke, Me and him talk all
- 39:40Speaker 1: the time because we was on tour. It was me,
- 39:42Speaker 1: Bratt and Craig Mac. We was all on tour UM
- 39:46Speaker 1: and we was doing like the Chitland Circuit. And in
- 39:50Speaker 1: that Chitland circuit run, Craig Mac was the hottest, then
- 39:53Speaker 1: Bratt and then Big, and Big was frustrated with the
- 39:57Speaker 1: fact that his records aren't as popular as Functified and
- 40:03Speaker 1: Flavoring at the time. UM. And that's actually how I
- 40:07Speaker 1: got to do the remix, because Big felt like he
- 40:09Speaker 1: needed me to get into that space where Bratt was.
- 40:12Speaker 1: The record was out during that time Juicy Jure in
- 40:16Speaker 1: New York, the Chitland Circuit, but the Chitland Circuit around
- 40:21Speaker 1: where we lived in Atlanta, they hadn't they hadn't caught yet. So,
- 40:25Speaker 1: like I said, the Flavoring your ear didn't Functified and
- 40:29Speaker 1: then Juicy, I mean people were working with it but
- 40:31Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't like Head over Hills, and it
- 40:34Speaker 1: was driving him crazy. And he talked to me every
- 40:37Speaker 1: day about doing a remix, and I finally did Big
- 40:40Speaker 1: popa remix, and then that's when we did the B
- 40:42Speaker 1: side with him at Bratt. He came to Atlanta. And
- 40:45Speaker 1: when he came to Atlanta, yeah, he probably you know,
- 40:47Speaker 1: because I brought him to College Park. He came to
- 40:50Speaker 1: my hood and did that song, so he probably soaked up.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I need to move out here. That's basically the same
- 40:56Speaker 1: thing that happens to everybody when they come out there.
- 40:59Speaker 1: You see what one last day thing? You see what
- 41:01Speaker 1: young Jock said about you? And did he said the
- 41:03Speaker 1: different between you? And did he that? Did he understands
- 41:05Speaker 1: marketing and that's what he got over well, I think
- 41:08Speaker 1: he said that. Did he took his artist tree him
- 41:12Speaker 1: as an artist more serious than me. Um, he's right,
- 41:16Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm I'm all about making new artist. I'm
- 41:19Speaker 1: all about putting Oh, I was all about putting out artists.
- 41:24Speaker 1: You know, even like this this album, the incurrency got Um,
- 41:28Speaker 1: I'm rapping on the record, but I'm not rapping all
- 41:30Speaker 1: over the record because you know, what I mean, that's
- 41:33Speaker 1: that's who I am. I'm a producer first, and I've
- 41:35Speaker 1: always been that way, and I think that that's you know,
- 41:38Speaker 1: that's one thing that he was saying. But even the
- 41:40Speaker 1: job Jock was signed and Social Death for one day
- 41:43Speaker 1: before that Bad Boy deal and Block and Block switched
- 41:47Speaker 1: it and they went to bad Wood. I didn't do
- 41:50Speaker 1: that that he signed. If he signed, I'm saying he
- 41:53Speaker 1: was signed because the person who produced the record was
- 41:56Speaker 1: signed to me as a producer. So Nitya signed the
- 42:01Speaker 1: Social Defensive producer. So I wasn't even thinking about, Like
- 42:05Speaker 1: I wasn't even pressing because I'm like, I know this
- 42:07Speaker 1: is my song, like we were said Virgin at this time,
- 42:10Speaker 1: Like I know this song is coming over here. It's easy, right,
- 42:14Speaker 1: And I had already had the franchise where he's having
- 42:16Speaker 1: all the success. I'm like, it's no way, possibly you
- 42:17Speaker 1: don't give us this record. If you find the first
- 42:20Speaker 1: version of it's going down it says Social Deaf at
- 42:24Speaker 1: the beginning of the record, right. So I was cool,
- 42:26Speaker 1: like clearly like, oh we got this. I went to sleep,
- 42:30Speaker 1: woke up the neck morning. How did that happen? I mean,
- 42:34Speaker 1: I didn't sign. I didn't actually sign him, right, It's like,
- 42:38Speaker 1: you signed to me, and I know you're gonna do
- 42:41Speaker 1: the right thing for song and you already doesn't say
- 42:45Speaker 1: social deaf at the beginning of the record. So I'm like, oh,
- 42:49Speaker 1: it's got my tag, it's got a tag on it already,
- 42:51Speaker 1: were cool. I'm gonna go to sleep, you know what
- 42:54Speaker 1: I mean. So yeah, it was that. That was that situation.
- 43:00Speaker 1: What it's going down? That's puty because I was even
- 43:02Speaker 1: thinking about that. We're having these conversations about the South
- 43:04Speaker 1: and how the South don't get respect. Like I saw
- 43:06Speaker 1: Jock in the interview in the person interview in him
- 43:08Speaker 1: was like, how does it feel to have a career
- 43:10Speaker 1: for twenty years with just one hit? And I'm sitting
- 43:12Speaker 1: there thinking, like Jack got like seven to eight off.
- 43:18Speaker 1: That's that's that slight I'm talking about yet slighted. But
- 43:22Speaker 1: you ever go back and think about the fight that
- 43:24Speaker 1: you would had to do that, I think a lot
- 43:25Speaker 1: of people don't know, which opened the doors for a
- 43:27Speaker 1: lot of those Southern artists. That's That's one of the
- 43:30Speaker 1: other statements I said in that interview that people was
- 43:32Speaker 1: like Jermin's it's all cap it's just Cap and I'm like,
- 43:36Speaker 1: all right, listen. It was a time in New York
- 43:40Speaker 1: when Southern Rappers was not on the radio at one, two, three,
- 43:45Speaker 1: four or five o'clock in the afternoon, right, and I
- 43:48Speaker 1: was frustrated. I'm like, you know what, we gotta figure
- 43:51Speaker 1: out how to get in. I hired Envy to introduce
- 43:56Speaker 1: me to the streets in New York and move around
- 44:00Speaker 1: down so I could be able to be so people
- 44:02Speaker 1: to see my face and be more out here. Nobody
- 44:05Speaker 1: from the South beat the streets like me. You noticed
- 44:08Speaker 1: rights and the way that we beat the streets, and
- 44:11Speaker 1: we made never Scared permanent state record in New York.
- 44:17Speaker 1: We put Cameron and Buster runs, and we did everything
- 44:21Speaker 1: to make sure that that the South was, you know,
- 44:25Speaker 1: represented well in this town. Um. And then the young
- 44:29Speaker 1: Blood's record, and these two records became so popular in
- 44:33Speaker 1: New York alone that you heard them like there was Atlanta.
- 44:37Speaker 1: And to me, that was the beginning of all of
- 44:40Speaker 1: these other records being heard on the radio the way
- 44:42Speaker 1: they heard today. And if I'm wrong, then I don't remember,
- 44:46Speaker 1: but I remember they told JD. Oh, I think they
- 44:49Speaker 1: liked me. Yeah, they told j D to take the
- 44:51Speaker 1: franchise boys off, just leave it ja may dupree. And
- 44:56Speaker 1: that's the only way that they were gonna spin it
- 44:58Speaker 1: in New York. So there was no mind playing tricks
- 45:01Speaker 1: on me. Didn't play no no limits, not like this.
- 45:03Speaker 1: We I'm talking about mid no mix show. All the
- 45:07Speaker 1: records was mixed show. I'm talking about no mix show.
- 45:10Speaker 1: Just you turn on the radio and you hit these records.
- 45:12Speaker 1: You never heard the song outcast, not like this, not
- 45:15Speaker 1: like wow wow. With everybody selling their catalog, you think,
- 45:19Speaker 1: y'all two whatever we think about selling, y'all. Uh, I
- 45:24Speaker 1: understand how why people do it? You know what I'm saying.
- 45:27Speaker 1: So I don't know. They called me with four hundred
- 45:29Speaker 1: million dollars, all right, what's you know? How many generations
- 45:34Speaker 1: of us are gonna be okay off this four hundred tickets?
- 45:37Speaker 1: You know, maybe we'll fucking do it. I don't know.
- 45:40Speaker 1: I'm waiting for all my reversions, y'all. Don't hear people
- 45:42Speaker 1: talk about that much. But I'm waiting on mine because
- 45:45Speaker 1: everything that came out of ninety two is coming back
- 45:46Speaker 1: to me one percent. Everything that came back in ninety three,
- 45:50Speaker 1: ninety four is coming back to me. One hundred percent.
- 45:54Speaker 1: I wrote one hundred percent of all of Escape Records.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I wrote one hundred percent of Chris Cross, I wrote
- 46:00Speaker 1: one hundred percent of Usher My Way. When the record
- 46:03Speaker 1: I'm when they come back, which when they come back,
- 46:05Speaker 1: because you'll have a deal with with Sony as a
- 46:08Speaker 1: publishing situation, but the reversions it comes back to me
- 46:13Speaker 1: and I don't have a deal with them. So when
- 46:15Speaker 1: when when the reversions come back and somebody walk up
- 46:19Speaker 1: and you know, and they got that ticket heat talk about,
- 46:22Speaker 1: and you know it might be it might be a
- 46:24Speaker 1: conversation explaining that JD. Because you've always been the CEO.
- 46:27Speaker 1: So I didn't like, even with writers, you have to
- 46:30Speaker 1: give over some of the you make either make a
- 46:33Speaker 1: publishing deal when you're younger, right, I made a publishing
- 46:36Speaker 1: deal when I was like what nineteen, That's when that's
- 46:38Speaker 1: when I got my money. They gave me. You know,
- 46:40Speaker 1: you give them a million dollars. That's the first million
- 46:41Speaker 1: dollars I got from that Sony UM. And it's like
- 46:45Speaker 1: a joint. It's like a fifty fifty split publishing situation. UM,
- 46:49Speaker 1: and then you know it. I've been over there since
- 46:53Speaker 1: I was nineteen, which is a long time. But you know,
- 46:57Speaker 1: they get all the songs, so all the songs that
- 46:59Speaker 1: you make, they go into this thing and you and
- 47:01Speaker 1: you know, I recouped two three times. Right. I could
- 47:04Speaker 1: have left a bunch of times, but I stayed. And
- 47:07Speaker 1: you know, so I'm just waiting now too, because I never,
- 47:10Speaker 1: by the way, when I started writing songs to hear
- 47:13Speaker 1: that in twenty five years you get your reversions or whatever.
- 47:16Speaker 1: I never even thought I'd make it that long. So
- 47:18Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm here, I'm past that point at this
- 47:20Speaker 1: point now. So now I'm like, shit, come on, so damn.
- 47:26Speaker 1: At one point, Michael Jackson, don't have your publish Yeah,
- 47:29Speaker 1: did y'all ever talk about that? Nah, it's it's not
- 47:33Speaker 1: it's not even thought about from that type of perspective.
- 47:36Speaker 1: But yet because I mean at the time when no,
- 47:40Speaker 1: but no, because that was after you, That was after
- 47:43Speaker 1: because Sony, it was it was m I at first.
- 47:46Speaker 1: So so Sony bought em I, Michael Jackson bought he
- 47:49Speaker 1: bought the company that that I was in business with
- 47:52Speaker 1: at that point, or a TV or whatever it is,
- 47:54Speaker 1: and that, um, that's when they turned it in't there?
- 47:56Speaker 1: So at first? Nah, the beginning of my career wasn't
- 47:58Speaker 1: like that. But later on it yeah, later on. Wow,
- 48:01Speaker 1: did you see the Janet Jackson documentary? And of course
- 48:04Speaker 1: you've seen it and people people were trying to get
- 48:06Speaker 1: you to get back with Janet. Did you see that?
- 48:08Speaker 1: Like the memes are going on and saying that that
- 48:11Speaker 1: y'all will be a perfect couple. You ever thought you
- 48:12Speaker 1: ever thought about rekindling that? Uh? I don't think I
- 48:17Speaker 1: thought about it started thing I'm sitting around thinking about,
- 48:23Speaker 1: you know, if it happened, it happened. Even when you're
- 48:26Speaker 1: smoking with currency that high grade week don't cross your mind.
- 48:33Speaker 1: I tried. I tried for the two years, and knowing
- 48:35Speaker 1: them to pass him a joint, you don't get out,
- 48:37Speaker 1: not even close. He smoked hoopers. You still get high currency.
- 48:40Speaker 1: Does it still impact you in that way? No, it's
- 48:43Speaker 1: just you know, it just levels everything else. Yeah, you know,
- 48:46Speaker 1: I think I get high higher the more sober I get, Like,
- 48:49Speaker 1: the further removed away from weed I am, Like if
- 48:52Speaker 1: I'm stuck in the airport or something, I start like
- 48:54Speaker 1: being hilarious, I'm becoming more sober. Yeah, you still think
- 49:02Speaker 1: you got a great ear j D. A great era
- 49:05Speaker 1: the greatest, you know what I mean as far as um.
- 49:09Speaker 1: But I mean I think I think it's like I
- 49:10Speaker 1: said once again, I feel like it's unappreciated, um because
- 49:14Speaker 1: people don't care about that anymore. You know what I mean.
- 49:17Speaker 1: People don't. They don't care if you find an amazing singer, Um,
- 49:23Speaker 1: they want to know if that amazing singer. Like it's
- 49:25Speaker 1: like crazy, Like if a person is actually really really
- 49:28Speaker 1: talented and they come from church, they probably only got
- 49:31Speaker 1: like two followers on Instagram right the business that we end.
- 49:35Speaker 1: They could be Aretha Franklin and you could take them
- 49:39Speaker 1: to the label right now, and they will be like,
- 49:42Speaker 1: do she got one hundred thousand followers? We'll wait till
- 49:46Speaker 1: she comes. We'll wait and come back and see when
- 49:49Speaker 1: when you got a little bit of followers, what is that? Right?
- 49:53Speaker 1: So it's like to question my ear. That's that's my ears.
- 49:56Speaker 1: I'll find a Reta Franklin and somebody will be like,
- 50:00Speaker 1: I don't know about that. About that, Yeah, it's about
- 50:04Speaker 1: who she's dating. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. If
- 50:07Speaker 1: she got to fight somewhere as their footage of it, now,
- 50:10Speaker 1: let's drop this. I think that's how people felt about
- 50:13Speaker 1: the Division record though, it was like, this record feels
- 50:16Speaker 1: like a gimmick as opposed to a classic R and
- 50:19Speaker 1: B record that a j D would be attached to.
- 50:22Speaker 1: I don't, well, you know what I think. This is
- 50:25Speaker 1: what I think is I think that it's the fifth album. Right. So,
- 50:29Speaker 1: first of all, the people that think they're saying that
- 50:32Speaker 1: they just learned who they were through me, that's true
- 50:34Speaker 1: my channels. My channels are very much hey, hey, hey,
- 50:38Speaker 1: right if they're on a fifth album, how is it
- 50:42Speaker 1: a gimmick. It's like it's a fifth record, right, Um,
- 50:45Speaker 1: you just learned about Division. You just found out who
- 50:47Speaker 1: they were because they got a Recordd's on a radio, right,
- 50:50Speaker 1: and Jamaine Dupre and Brian Cox did the song cool.
- 50:54Speaker 1: And it's controversial because it's saying something, but you just,
- 50:57Speaker 1: you know, I just think. I think, I I honestly
- 51:00Speaker 1: feel like what Chris Rock has been saying, the selective
- 51:04Speaker 1: outrage outrage weighs heavy on me. It just does because
- 51:10Speaker 1: you know, right now, Division has one of the biggest
- 51:14Speaker 1: songs on TikTok with the touch It right, and people
- 51:17Speaker 1: keep complaining that I keep overposting it. I'm like, it's
- 51:20Speaker 1: my record what I'm supposed to do, right, And it's
- 51:24Speaker 1: like when other people do that, don't abo they do it?
- 51:31Speaker 1: They do it when I do it? Yeah. See, so
- 51:33Speaker 1: that's what it is. I just think it's that selective
- 51:35Speaker 1: outrage and it's it's you know, you can say that,
- 51:38Speaker 1: but you just learned who division was Jda Curcy gotta go.
- 51:41Speaker 1: Oh last question escape? Who opens up? Who? We just
- 51:45Speaker 1: heard that discussion this week. I went here for both
- 51:49Speaker 1: of y'all think about it on the records they got um.
- 51:54Speaker 1: If I was still if I was still like the
- 52:00Speaker 1: Frank running mindset of Escape, I would escape it open wow,
- 52:05Speaker 1: because the pain that they're gonna put in before you know,
- 52:09Speaker 1: coming coming after Escape is hard. They really sing. It's
- 52:13Speaker 1: not like a you know, fuck all the bickering and beef.
- 52:18Speaker 1: They really can sing, right. So it's like, and I'm
- 52:21Speaker 1: not saying as WV can't but oh yeah, I'm not
- 52:26Speaker 1: saying they can't sing. I'm just saying I've always had
- 52:29Speaker 1: that mindset. I've all always had that mindset about me
- 52:33Speaker 1: as a as a as an entertainer, like let me
- 52:35Speaker 1: go first, right, because I feel like it's harder for
- 52:39Speaker 1: the person to figure out what they gotta do afterwards.
- 52:42Speaker 1: I remember saying jay Z saying that he he went
- 52:45Speaker 1: on after DMX one night and DMX took his shirt
- 52:49Speaker 1: off and he started pouring water on him and he
- 52:51Speaker 1: was backstage like, Man, what the fuck I'm gonna do
- 52:53Speaker 1: when I come out there? That is the mindset that
- 52:55Speaker 1: you had right until you get out. Then the crowd
- 52:58Speaker 1: make it different. But put that pressure on the person
- 53:01Speaker 1: to make them sit back then and try to figure
- 53:03Speaker 1: out what they're gonna do when they come out. That's
- 53:05Speaker 1: what I would do. Yeah, I think I think they
- 53:07Speaker 1: should do different markets, right as WV New York. Certain
- 53:11Speaker 1: areas I think they should close, but Atlanta escape out
- 53:15Speaker 1: of closing Atlanta. Yeah, Like I said, I wouldn't even
- 53:19Speaker 1: argue about it. I just because I don't I personally
- 53:21Speaker 1: feel like that that that closing first thing. I feel
- 53:24Speaker 1: like that's just all it's mental. I remember going to
- 53:28Speaker 1: the Triple Threat concert, right, and it was Albi Shure
- 53:33Speaker 1: uh BBD and I want to say, Bobby Brown right,
- 53:39Speaker 1: and you know I love all of them. BBD was
- 53:45Speaker 1: busting Bobby Brown ass. You know, for the time period
- 53:50Speaker 1: that they came in, Bobby brought you know, he did
- 53:54Speaker 1: he had to do and pulling up the rib. But
- 53:56Speaker 1: I'm just saying them being where they were, it wasn't
- 54:00Speaker 1: a bad slot. It's not a thing that I was
- 54:02Speaker 1: thinking about, like, damn, BBD should have closed. They was
- 54:05Speaker 1: killing it. I mean, poison was at the height at
- 54:08Speaker 1: poison at the time when I saw this, so it
- 54:11Speaker 1: felt like they should have closed. But you know, when
- 54:14Speaker 1: when Bobby came on and Tenderni and all these records
- 54:17Speaker 1: came on, you realize why he was the closer, right,
- 54:20Speaker 1: So I just feel like me personally, I look at
- 54:22Speaker 1: that performance slot thing different. All right, Well, ladies and gentlemen, yeah,
- 54:26Speaker 1: make sure you pick up the album they do precuracy
- 54:29Speaker 1: motivational use only. All right, Well, it's the Breakfast Club
