- 0:56Speaker 1: come back as a group and say we're gonna put
- 0:58Speaker 1: on a show for the people. How did y'all have
- 1:00Speaker 1: to start those conversations?
- 1:05Speaker 4: Oh man, uh, just real quick. I came to c O.
- 1:09Speaker 4: He had a show out in LA I put up
- 1:12Speaker 4: on him and uh, man, it was just it was dope.
- 1:15Speaker 4: I'm like, I want to come support, you know what
- 1:16Speaker 4: I mean? And uh when I got there, he pulled
- 1:18Speaker 4: me up on stage. We did a quick little rendition
- 1:21Speaker 4: of a girlfriend. But after the show, we talked and
- 1:25Speaker 4: we had dinner and it was like a breaking of
- 1:29Speaker 4: the ice. I hadn't seen him since like twenty nineteen,
- 1:31Speaker 4: so it was like six years or something like that.
- 1:34Speaker 4: To make a longer story short, it was a great conversation.
- 1:37Speaker 4: You know, we talked about some of the issues that
- 1:39Speaker 4: we were having, you know what I'm saying since the
- 1:40Speaker 4: last time we've seen each other. And then moving forward,
- 1:43Speaker 4: we brought the guys into the fold and we just
- 1:46Speaker 4: kind of made a group chat and we used to start,
- 1:48Speaker 4: you know, mending a lot of the broken parts. And
- 1:51Speaker 4: then we had a great conversation that almost led to
- 1:54Speaker 4: a couple of blows into wrestling matches because you're like,
- 1:57Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna shoot it straight with you if
- 1:59Speaker 4: we're gonna get pa I don't like that, you feel me.
- 2:01Speaker 4: But we ain't got to go into detail. But it
- 2:03Speaker 4: brings us to the current space where you know, it
- 2:05Speaker 4: was an opportunity for us to go back on the road.
- 2:09Speaker 4: And that's where Ras comes in. How Boo got tied in.
- 2:12Speaker 5: We was at the BT Awards, and if you know Ras,
- 2:16Speaker 5: you know I was always super passionate about brother, you
- 2:20Speaker 5: know what I mean. And obviously I've had my trials
- 2:23Speaker 5: ANDAs and you know, uh, time and great counseling has
- 2:26Speaker 5: definitely brought me to a better space. And you know what,
- 2:30Speaker 5: what better person to tour with other than bow Wow?
- 2:32Speaker 5: Being that, being that we started our career with Boo.
- 2:35Speaker 5: You know, he was in his first Ghetto Girls video.
- 2:37Speaker 5: We went on tour with him, So this is a
- 2:39Speaker 5: full circle moment.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I want to stay there for a thing because a
- 2:42Speaker 2: Mario and you, I know you're a very spiritual person,
- 2:44Speaker 2: right and you all about energy. What needed to heal
- 2:46Speaker 2: exactly for this to happen.
- 2:48Speaker 6: I think maturity, you know that plays a big role
- 2:52Speaker 6: in everything, you know, being able to see other perspectives.
- 2:59Speaker 7: In respect.
- 3:00Speaker 6: I really feel like, you know, in twenty nineteen, things
- 3:04Speaker 6: were shifting. You know, it was a great opportunity for us,
- 3:08Speaker 6: But I don't know that everybody was on the same
- 3:11Speaker 6: page as far as life experiences, wins and losses. You know,
- 3:16Speaker 6: you get to a space as an adult, you know
- 3:20Speaker 6: where you know else should feel like lessons instead of losses.
- 3:26Speaker 6: And it feels like we all have kind of you know,
- 3:30Speaker 6: risen to that level where you know, we're all we're
- 3:32Speaker 6: all parents, you know what I'm saying, Like we have
- 3:35Speaker 6: to look at the scope beyond our personal feelings. So
- 3:39Speaker 6: I really feel like that's what that's why we're here
- 3:42Speaker 6: again today. And a lot of people like to I
- 3:45Speaker 6: guess hone in on the business aspect of it, which
- 3:48Speaker 6: is cool, But what people forget is is that, you know,
- 3:51Speaker 6: we were very young when we started, so we established
- 3:55Speaker 6: something beyond you know, in respects to the business. We
- 3:59Speaker 6: really created a bond in the brotherhood. So we're happy
- 4:03Speaker 6: to present ourselves in a better way, in a more
- 4:05Speaker 6: mature way. And and yeah, you know what about you.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I was for you getting back to the group because
- 4:13Speaker 1: you said, you send down a bunch of emails and
- 4:14Speaker 1: you've been up here passionate before about making this work.
- 4:16Speaker 1: So what was for you to say, you know what,
- 4:19Speaker 1: this is going to work or what needed to happen
- 4:21Speaker 1: for you to say this could work again?
- 4:23Speaker 6: For me?
- 4:23Speaker 5: I had to take accountability for my actions right and
- 4:25Speaker 5: learn how to regulate my emotions. There's a lot of
- 4:27Speaker 5: things I learned and uh different coping skills and therapy.
- 4:31Speaker 5: And I feel like with my maturity, my marriage, me
- 4:33Speaker 5: having children, it's just really grounded me and I feel
- 4:36Speaker 5: like there was a love that I was looking for
- 4:37Speaker 5: because when you dedicate so much to this industry and
- 4:39Speaker 5: then the rug is pull up on you and then
- 4:41Speaker 5: you're just trying to figure out your back is against
- 4:43Speaker 5: the wall. You're feeling these emotions that you don't know
- 4:45Speaker 5: how to express. You got people around you exploiting that,
- 4:48Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So just getting into good
- 4:49Speaker 5: space and then having my brothers, you.
- 4:51Speaker 7: Know, I'm.
- 5:06Speaker 5: I'm a therapist, but he's like I called him at
- 5:11Speaker 5: four o'clock, like yo, walking the floors, like hey listen,
- 5:16Speaker 5: we go in to that.
- 5:17Speaker 4: But yeah, shout outs to brother's count accountability.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Man.
- 5:22Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely just the maturity, you know, growing up, taking accountability,
- 5:27Speaker 6: having those rough conversations with oh, and you know, just
- 5:30Speaker 6: really displaying the true genuineness from my heart, you know,
- 5:36Speaker 6: and action more than words.
- 5:38Speaker 1: So I think that's just really what brought us all back.
- 5:40Speaker 2: What do you argue about like who got the best
- 5:42Speaker 2: baby hairs?
- 5:56Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 5:56Speaker 3: I know, yeah, I mean we saw like the public
- 5:59Speaker 3: with Marion and I'm sorry with a Marian and Fizz.
- 6:02Speaker 8: We saw everything with like you know, April, like whatever,
- 6:04Speaker 8: And I know that there was a.
- 6:05Speaker 3: When I saw your apology Fizz a few years ago,
- 6:08Speaker 3: I felt like there was a lot of hurt on
- 6:10Speaker 3: both sides that led to where y'all got to How
- 6:13Speaker 3: has it been dealing with that hurt in real time
- 6:16Speaker 3: because I know the conversations are probably still happening actively,
- 6:19Speaker 3: like that's not like a one time thing.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Well, nah, you said say that again.
- 6:24Speaker 1: You said that.
- 6:26Speaker 3: So basically, I'm saying, like when y'all were going through it,
- 6:30Speaker 3: right and you started dating April, there had to be
- 6:33Speaker 3: or I'm assuming somebody's feelings was hurt in the midst
- 6:35Speaker 3: of that, right or wrong?
- 6:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the whole entirety of it.
- 6:40Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 6:41Speaker 7: It was hurt there, so to come from it, you know,
- 6:44Speaker 7: there has to be rough conversations.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 6:47Speaker 3: And I guess my question in that was so in
- 6:49Speaker 3: dealing with that day to day because that's not like
- 6:52Speaker 3: an easy thing to deal with How is that every day?
- 6:55Speaker 3: Like when things come back up, how do you guys
- 6:57Speaker 3: like work through it actively?
- 6:58Speaker 4: So let me I'm on that because it's it's deeper
- 7:02Speaker 4: than this them, you know what I'm saying, Like there's
- 7:04Speaker 4: a family that you're talking about. So if anybody got
- 7:08Speaker 4: siblings and you close, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 7:11Speaker 4: what they go through don't just affect them. And it's
- 7:13Speaker 4: not just them, you know what I'm saying, working to
- 7:15Speaker 4: get through it.
- 7:16Speaker 6: You know.
- 7:17Speaker 4: For us, it's like since day one, it's always been
- 7:20Speaker 4: a straight up you know. So we're not gonna hold
- 7:23Speaker 4: on to nothing that we didn't already cover. You know
- 7:25Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like, once the conversation has had, even
- 7:28Speaker 4: if it's a boxing in the in the closet, that
- 7:31Speaker 4: gotta go down. Once that's done, it's done done.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
- 7:35Speaker 4: So it's not a question or a conversation.
- 7:38Speaker 2: I did not know books was the Bill Belichick and
- 7:39Speaker 2: this shit.
- 7:47Speaker 4: I just wanted to be you know.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm gonna ask you know what made you say?
- 7:53Speaker 9: You know what?
- 7:53Speaker 1: I want to do it with these guys right because
- 7:56Speaker 1: they've been aft up for a while. Up and down
- 7:58Speaker 1: there two members, one member, three members, half of member.
- 8:00Speaker 1: So what made you say, you know what, we're gonna
- 8:01Speaker 1: put this effic to go on tour and make sure
- 8:03Speaker 1: they gonna stay the whole tour together. No, it just
- 8:05Speaker 1: made sense, like BT Awards, like it just made sense
- 8:08Speaker 1: seeing it together. It was strong, the presence was there.
- 8:12Speaker 1: It was like, okay, feel right. And of course, you
- 8:14Speaker 1: know Rascob speak his mind whenever you don't care if
- 8:17Speaker 1: I'm like we gonna live you, I don't give it.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Damn you wanna do this tour with us? He said
- 8:20Speaker 1: it live on TV, like put me right there on
- 8:23Speaker 1: the spot. So I was like, yeah, it do make sense.
- 8:25Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like the screen to
- 8:27Speaker 1: all over again.
- 8:27Speaker 6: You know.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Me and Oh, we've been doing it for the past
- 8:29Speaker 1: couple of years together. I came out on the first
- 8:32Speaker 1: run with twenty nineteen. You brought me out right and Atlanta,
- 8:35Speaker 1: and it just made sense. Them as a group. I
- 8:38Speaker 1: haven't toured with them and over what twenty years, So
- 8:42Speaker 1: it just made since me and Chris did runs me
- 8:44Speaker 1: and Old Dead runs and I'm like, yeah, we only
- 8:47Speaker 1: danced what twice? It'll be good to dance with more time,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and the Millennium tours have been killing them, like every year,
- 8:52Speaker 1: we just been killing them, and we just felt like
- 8:53Speaker 1: the time is now. They're celebrating I'm celebrating twenty five
- 8:56Speaker 1: in the game, the boys just celebrating theirs, and it's
- 8:59Speaker 1: just a full circle moment, like, yeah, let's do it now.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And we still got it. Yeah, absolutely, you.
- 9:07Speaker 10: Know, me and the whole other millions of people.
- 9:10Speaker 1: And were ready and I could tell you what's serious.
- 9:12Speaker 1: They could tell you what was serious, Like you could
- 9:14Speaker 1: just tell you know what I'm saying, and I'm like, yeah,
- 9:16Speaker 1: I just feel right, let's go ahead and dance.
- 9:18Speaker 2: What was harder for y'all be to rebuilding trust or
- 9:21Speaker 2: rebuilding chemistry?
- 9:24Speaker 5: Trust, I would say trust. The chemistry is definitely there.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Yeah a while, R and B singis and it's like cool,
- 9:34Speaker 4: but you know, crazy. I would like to speak to.
- 9:38Speaker 7: You know how young we were in the game. You
- 9:40Speaker 7: know what I mean.
- 9:41Speaker 6: We were kids, you know what I'm saying, And we
- 9:43Speaker 6: spent a lot of time like you know how kids
- 9:45Speaker 6: go to school and then they like see each other
- 9:47Speaker 6: in class. That's like, no, we were seeing each other
- 9:50Speaker 6: at the airport.
- 9:51Speaker 7: You know what I mean.
- 9:51Speaker 6: We were doing radio interviews, so you know, our bond
- 9:55Speaker 6: is like no other. You know what I'm saying. It
- 9:57Speaker 6: is a brotherhood, but it's also a professional element to.
- 10:00Speaker 7: It as well.
- 10:01Speaker 2: So you know, do you all remember the moment when
- 10:03Speaker 2: the trust was rebuilt, when y'all could all look at
- 10:05Speaker 2: each other and be.
- 10:06Speaker 7: Like, all right, it's silent. Yeah, it's silent.
- 10:10Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. What's what's understood don't even
- 10:12Speaker 6: need to be explained.
- 10:13Speaker 8: Fact, how full does this feel for y'all?
- 10:15Speaker 3: Like you talk about it being a full circle moment, right,
- 10:17Speaker 3: but like having that trust back and being able to
- 10:20Speaker 3: do this together, Like, how does it feel internally?
- 10:22Speaker 1: Like?
- 10:25Speaker 5: I mean for me, I got to smile on my face.
- 10:28Speaker 1: That says at all. I mean for me, sometimes it
- 10:31Speaker 1: don't feel real, you know.
- 10:32Speaker 6: But I think being older and more aware than present
- 10:36Speaker 6: in the moment, you can like it just gives a
- 10:39Speaker 6: lot of appreciation, you know, like damn, like I love
- 10:42Speaker 6: my dogs.
- 10:43Speaker 7: Man, We're back to this ship.
- 10:45Speaker 5: You feel Tomorrow's not promised? You know it it was
- 10:47Speaker 5: unfinished business, you know what I mean.
- 10:48Speaker 6: So we're back to it feels like completion. Yeah, feels
- 10:53Speaker 6: like a complete you know what I mean, because we
- 10:56Speaker 6: had a lot of just outside noises, you know what
- 10:59Speaker 6: I'm saying in everybody's ears, just really we weren't able
- 11:04Speaker 6: to get back to us. And now, you know, we've
- 11:07Speaker 6: experienced enough life where it's like, okay, I need to
- 11:10Speaker 6: have a conversation with whoever. We man enough to have
- 11:13Speaker 6: those conversations. We don't have to talk to third parties
- 11:16Speaker 6: or anything like that.
- 11:17Speaker 2: We in alignment for all of y'all, y'all ever given
- 11:21Speaker 2: the tools, the process theme as teenagers or y'all just
- 11:24Speaker 2: had to perform through whatever.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Nah.
- 11:28Speaker 4: I think that's I think that's the origin of you know,
- 11:30Speaker 4: how things can get a little crazy because it all
- 11:33Speaker 4: happened so fast. I even even speaking with Bau you
- 11:35Speaker 4: know he was what twelve when and everything like really
- 11:37Speaker 4: took off, crazy us being able to come on his
- 11:39Speaker 4: tour seeing that like for the first time, the girl's
- 11:42Speaker 4: going crazy, and then week in and week out they
- 11:45Speaker 4: start going crazy crazy for us. Yeah, be two k
- 11:48Speaker 4: took off. It's like you don't really get a chance
- 11:49Speaker 4: or it's no like there's no guideline or no course
- 11:53Speaker 4: to say this is how you post the process it's
- 11:56Speaker 4: like one day this, the next day everybody screamed your name,
- 11:58Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Egos can created through that.
- 12:01Speaker 4: You know, Oh they're screaming the loud us for me,
- 12:02Speaker 4: or they screaming a lot oh you the favorite. Like,
- 12:04Speaker 4: it's a lot of stuff that come into it that
- 12:06Speaker 4: start to break everything down, you know what I mean.
- 12:08Speaker 4: So I feel like sometimes in the industry, you you
- 12:11Speaker 4: gotta go through that point where it's like all brand
- 12:14Speaker 4: new to you. Then you're feeling yourself, You're smelling your
- 12:17Speaker 4: own issue, you know what I'm saying, And then you
- 12:18Speaker 4: get that dose of reality. And I feel like all
- 12:21Speaker 4: five of us has had that dose of reality to
- 12:24Speaker 4: be like, Okay, like he said, you got it, ain't promise.
- 12:27Speaker 4: L is not a loss, it's a lesson, you know
- 12:29Speaker 4: what I mean. And when you get that again, you
- 12:31Speaker 4: be very humble, you know what I'm saying.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Of it?
- 12:39Speaker 10: So, yeah, how did y'all pick the rest of the asks?
- 12:41Speaker 1: I see?
- 12:42Speaker 10: Y'all got crime? A pretty Ricky Jeremiah Waka fuck. That's
- 12:44Speaker 10: a long ass show.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Is it different?
- 12:47Speaker 1: We we we We?
- 12:49Speaker 5: That's a BPC question.
- 12:51Speaker 1: A lot of people collective. Sometimes I ain't gonna lie,
- 12:56Speaker 1: I ain't gonna cap like sometimes we do got a
- 12:58Speaker 1: little safe, so I ain't gonna lie, like wh we
- 12:59Speaker 1: did it to the one here like I had, I
- 13:01Speaker 1: had hit sys like yo, I think you should roll
- 13:02Speaker 1: with us, and then if we get okay, like we'll
- 13:05Speaker 1: lib it to like Gary or whatever, like you know
- 13:06Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like Franchise and Peppin that's the homies,
- 13:08Speaker 1: just like all right, man, we do on this bitch
- 13:10Speaker 1: six years in the row, but they definitely do, and
- 13:15Speaker 1: I'm like, we gotta switch it up, man, bring them back,
- 13:17Speaker 1: like so we sometimes we did some say so then
- 13:19Speaker 1: sometimes we be like I know, I know I have.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I've been like, man, put this over on there and
- 13:22Speaker 1: we'll get closer. They don't. I'll be like ship fuck it.
- 13:24Speaker 1: But yeah, we do get a little safe. So I'm
- 13:26Speaker 1: so old you did it because you got me on
- 13:27Speaker 1: the NAH. I always give his credit when it comes
- 13:34Speaker 1: to the Millennium brand, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 13:37Speaker 1: you know, and and Ras too, and just the whole
- 13:39Speaker 1: the guys, you know, I mean it was theirs. You
- 13:40Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You just got the DNA.
- 13:44Speaker 5: Screen tour fast. Yeah, you know, probably still is going
- 13:48Speaker 5: to do it.
- 13:48Speaker 1: I think for sure that the confusion is it is
- 13:51Speaker 1: the DNA from the screen right, That's where it comes from.
- 13:54Speaker 1: But the Millennium tour oweing them popped that off first.
- 13:58Speaker 1: The boys popped that off first. You know what I'm
- 13:59Speaker 1: saying that Oh came and grabbed me like, hey, yes,
- 14:03Speaker 1: you can't turn this down, Like it's really a no brainer.
- 14:05Speaker 1: So I get credit to my bro because I wasn't
- 14:07Speaker 1: even thinking about touring out. That wasn't on my mind.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I was on some other ship and he's like, now
- 14:12Speaker 1: you got to come get a piece of this, And
- 14:13Speaker 1: Bro did that. You know what I'm saying, you take
- 14:15Speaker 1: it serious because it was one time he was wild
- 14:16Speaker 1: about I mean when you was wilding on JD. They
- 14:18Speaker 1: gave me the broke you and ray J running around
- 14:21Speaker 1: and twisted. It was times you even said that you
- 14:23Speaker 1: was drinking too much. When did you say now I
- 14:25Speaker 1: gotta stop and take it serious. But I know I
- 14:33Speaker 1: know they they like, look, I know the whole thing.
- 14:35Speaker 1: I don't think this nigga changed because we got a
- 14:40Speaker 1: group chat. We got a group chat. So I'm the
- 14:42Speaker 1: one that's always wild in that mauck like I'm always wilding,
- 14:46Speaker 1: but passionate ship. I think for me honestly, I mean
- 14:51Speaker 1: I said it already on record when I had to
- 14:52Speaker 1: talk with with with somebody, you know. I mean, I
- 14:54Speaker 1: ain't gotta say no names, but I pretty much think
- 14:55Speaker 1: I probably know I'm talking about and kind of just
- 14:57Speaker 1: told me, man, you tighten your ass up, like O
- 15:00Speaker 1: you out here doing all this goofy shit. You understand
- 15:02Speaker 1: that you're a legend. Man. You gotta you can't. You
- 15:04Speaker 1: can't come around me with that bullshit. No, Mo, it's
- 15:06Speaker 1: time you to wake up and understand. You close. Uh
- 15:10Speaker 1: so I'll say nig a puff said it. He told me.
- 15:11Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, told me this years back,
- 15:13Speaker 1: like keep up here. Yeah, what I mean, He's like,
- 15:16Speaker 1: cut the bullshit. You know what I'm saying, you around, Snoop,
- 15:19Speaker 1: you around JD. You know what I mean. Motherfucker's really
- 15:22Speaker 1: fuck with you. You gotta spill in there. You can
- 15:23Speaker 1: call everybody, can't call them, everybody can't call me, but
- 15:25Speaker 1: I'll pick up for you. You know what I'm saying, Like,
- 15:27Speaker 1: you gotta understand your brand, don't fuck that up. You're
- 15:30Speaker 1: all your old Jesus here. You gotta be one. So
- 15:33Speaker 1: I think when he said that like about seven years
- 15:35Speaker 1: ago whatever, and just clicked in. And then you know,
- 15:37Speaker 1: the kids getting older. My son about to be six
- 15:40Speaker 1: shy driving this year, so it's kind of like a
- 15:41Speaker 1: lot of things come in perspective. I'm about to be
- 15:43Speaker 1: thirty nine. It's like you start getting all that love
- 15:46Speaker 1: and everybody giving your flowers me and oh we don't
- 15:49Speaker 1: want a Billboard award for the tour. You start getting
- 15:51Speaker 1: all this, it's like that shit right there make you
- 15:53Speaker 1: sit back and be like, okay, yeah, I am him,
- 15:54Speaker 1: all right, I am one of the ones. It's like
- 15:56Speaker 1: when you understand that you're gonna move like one. And
- 15:58Speaker 1: that's why I ain't seen me, no bush and no
- 16:00Speaker 1: fuckery for the past. I don't know how long I've
- 16:01Speaker 1: just been on my I've been in the crib, focused working,
- 16:05Speaker 1: selling these due rags and doing what the I'm supposed
- 16:07Speaker 1: to be knowing, focused on, focused on.
- 16:12Speaker 11: Man, when I got you strange, I gotta get you
- 16:16Speaker 11: a sponge. I'm speaking up, do rag, yeah, get the
- 16:26Speaker 11: brush to do it with it.
- 16:27Speaker 4: I'm telling you it's different.
- 16:29Speaker 1: It's worked for you. My number one. I got that
- 16:33Speaker 1: sold up that lane. I'm good. The Brad was up here,
- 16:37Speaker 1: she said, she spas out on you a couple of times.
- 16:38Speaker 1: When Brad don't spas. Brad spas on me when I
- 16:41Speaker 1: changed my number, I don't give it to her when
- 16:42Speaker 1: I thought I did get into it. Like that's it, though,
- 16:45Speaker 1: Like that's another one who's gonna hold hold me accountable,
- 16:48Speaker 1: check on me. I was just with Snoop last week.
- 16:50Speaker 1: That's another person that you know that's gonna get on me.
- 16:53Speaker 1: And it's just too many people that I got that's
- 16:57Speaker 1: in my corner that I know I can always talk to.
- 16:59Speaker 1: And even back to the questions like how you navigate
- 17:01Speaker 1: through this ship, it's like, now you know I used to.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That's why we got the group chat. You know what
- 17:04Speaker 1: I'm saying, That's why we got that because instead of
- 17:07Speaker 1: us while and oh yeah good, I like this that
- 17:09Speaker 1: twenty five annivers you know what I'm saying, Yeah, yeh yeah, yeah,
- 17:13Speaker 1: not one in the are that ain't out yet.
- 17:15Speaker 2: You got a lot of lebron in you. I'm gonna
- 17:16Speaker 2: tell you what I mean, right, Like it's hard to
- 17:18Speaker 2: like meet expectations and when you think about when we
- 17:22Speaker 2: saw bow Wow on our Senior Hall all years ago,
- 17:25Speaker 2: like that little dude nice. Yeah, you didn't have to
- 17:29Speaker 2: become a superstar that you could have went either way.
- 17:31Speaker 2: You ever think about that.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I
- 17:41Speaker 1: just knew it, Like this is all I knew. I
- 17:44Speaker 1: didn't know nothing. That's all I know. I didn't know
- 17:45Speaker 1: nothing else. At first, it was being a comedian, and
- 17:48Speaker 1: I think that's how I was able to transit in
- 17:50Speaker 1: to the acting things so easily. I started out with that.
- 17:53Speaker 1: First rapping came because I could mimic just about anybody.
- 17:56Speaker 1: And then if you could mimic the motherfucker, you're basically
- 17:58Speaker 1: doing it. So then it was like, all right, cool.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Then somebody saw writing my wraps. I think if I
- 18:02Speaker 1: write this shit. Then boomed and the whole Chronic Tour
- 18:04Speaker 1: ninety three came Snoop find me, I mean dash shut
- 18:06Speaker 1: out the dash, Dash finds. We bring me to the back,
- 18:08Speaker 1: and now the rest is history. And it was like, Okay,
- 18:11Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna stay on this path. Then this
- 18:12Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do. This is what God chose
- 18:14Speaker 1: for me, So we're gonna ride it out. I'm gonna
- 18:15Speaker 1: ride out to the death though, I ain't gonna stop
- 18:17Speaker 1: this ship no time ever. I'm never gonna stop.
- 18:19Speaker 2: I love it.
- 18:19Speaker 9: And you say that now because even when you were
- 18:22Speaker 9: wild and going through you bullshit, I knew it like
- 18:24Speaker 9: it just wasn't for no reason, Like what do you
- 18:26Speaker 9: think it was?
- 18:27Speaker 10: Did you feel loan like? Were you dealing with.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Just doing dumb ship? It's just that's nigga. Wasn't stressed
- 18:36Speaker 1: out or nothing. I really listened. I really thought I
- 18:38Speaker 1: was low key when I was put up the plane.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I really did. I thought I was low key and
- 18:41Speaker 1: I did that ship. I just got caught, you know
- 18:44Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And who was there that whip? Well,
- 18:47Speaker 1: you went with me on the plane, I'm saying, though,
- 18:48Speaker 1: but you was at the studio when we did the
- 18:49Speaker 1: little Skins shit you feel I'm saying it was right
- 18:50Speaker 1: through when we did the Skins ship. So for me,
- 18:52Speaker 1: you already see I'm a team. I played ball like
- 18:54Speaker 1: we got the group chat I got. I don't got
- 18:57Speaker 1: thin skin like this is what we do like, but
- 19:00Speaker 1: all my fuck ups and bullshit, it's really happened. Like
- 19:03Speaker 1: the hoodie where my daughter just recreated We're coming out
- 19:06Speaker 1: the crab boil and she like, I'm about to do
- 19:08Speaker 1: this with my dad. He got on the outfit too.
- 19:10Speaker 1: We got the black hoodie and I'm about to get him.
- 19:12Speaker 1: And I didn't even know what she was doing. But
- 19:13Speaker 1: as soon as she did it, I was like, Yo,
- 19:15Speaker 1: you're about to You're gonna go viral with that because
- 19:17Speaker 1: it already went viral. It reoccurs every summer weird years.
- 19:21Speaker 1: But you're about to bring this ship all the way
- 19:23Speaker 1: back fully. But when she did it, it was like,
- 19:24Speaker 1: that was really your moment. It was a million kids.
- 19:26Speaker 1: After I got anxiety, heard oh say we was child stars.
- 19:28Speaker 1: We hear crowds and ship, we get the flipping. I'm like,
- 19:32Speaker 1: oh shit, I don't know what nigga all the time,
- 19:36Speaker 1: but I love it. Though I love it. That's just
- 19:37Speaker 1: that daddy daughter dynamic that we got, you know what
- 19:39Speaker 1: I mean, And I love it.
- 19:40Speaker 2: I ever thought about that type of PTSD. We always
- 19:43Speaker 2: think about PTSD from like telling you the negative way,
- 19:45Speaker 2: but imagine like everywhere you go your youth to crows
- 19:48Speaker 2: just rushing.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I went to the mall the other day and I
- 19:51Speaker 1: used to know I put up to the back my
- 19:53Speaker 1: man come out of them. All through the back door
- 19:54Speaker 1: and he'll just put my shoes and ship and hand
- 19:56Speaker 1: it to me. He was like, bo think, I think
- 19:57Speaker 1: you should really come in and got some good crumb
- 19:59Speaker 1: heart ship gonna to your math for tris. I'm like, nigga,
- 20:01Speaker 1: all right, cool, I'm like, well, how are we walking
- 20:03Speaker 1: through the real way? Like I just started look out
- 20:07Speaker 1: there like yeah, I'm like, I don't do this. I
- 20:10Speaker 1: don't go to the mall, like I don't go to
- 20:12Speaker 1: my only my house, Like I don't need a crib.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I'm in the crib twenty four seven. I got everything
- 20:17Speaker 1: I need at thousand agree with the.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Shareroom where you were talking about that and you were
- 20:20Speaker 3: talking about how now it's crazier because people just it's pictures.
- 20:23Speaker 3: It's not autographs that people just pull up with the
- 20:25Speaker 3: phones and like you don't even have a chance.
- 20:27Speaker 1: To like on last r and shit is crazy too,
- 20:32Speaker 1: A shit is wow. I don't don't funk with that ship.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Y'all think we'll ever see some of the things that
- 20:38Speaker 1: we've seen when you guys with kids and teens and
- 20:40Speaker 1: running from thousands of kids chasing y'all, because we don't
- 20:42Speaker 1: see that now, we don't see superstars like that. You
- 20:44Speaker 1: think we ever see that.
- 20:45Speaker 10: I think they want to go through that now.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Generation.
- 20:49Speaker 6: I think that that level of mystique is gone work
- 20:52Speaker 6: with with social media and all the reality TV, there's
- 20:56Speaker 6: no more just you can turn on your phone and
- 20:59Speaker 6: see what somebody's doing the real world. Essentially, it's not
- 21:03Speaker 6: like you have to guess, I wonder where they are,
- 21:05Speaker 6: what's going on? Then you see it's it's like, oh
- 21:07Speaker 6: my god. That gives that that effect of shock, that
- 21:10Speaker 6: shock value, you know. But without it, I mean, without
- 21:15Speaker 6: the social media and all of that, then it.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Would be there.
- 21:18Speaker 7: But it's not.
- 21:19Speaker 6: I think we'll see, like you know, here and there,
- 21:22Speaker 6: you know what I mean. I think it's going to
- 21:24Speaker 6: really be about the artists because you know, they connect
- 21:27Speaker 6: on a different wavelength now, you know, sleep in front
- 21:31Speaker 6: of one O six in park days before this, That's
- 21:33Speaker 6: what I'm saying. It was a different connection.
- 21:36Speaker 1: So I don't know.
- 21:37Speaker 6: I think there will definitely be some bright stars in
- 21:40Speaker 6: the future. It's a natural cycle of things, you know
- 21:41Speaker 6: what I mean. But how they connect, I'm not sure.
- 21:43Speaker 6: I don't know if people will still be running after
- 21:46Speaker 6: them and have that kind of fandom. I think you
- 21:48Speaker 6: see it in some other cultures like maybe K pop,
- 21:51Speaker 6: And yeah, you see it in k pop, but you
- 21:54Speaker 6: know they run the system completely different from our world.
- 21:57Speaker 7: You know what I mean. So I'm not sure.
- 22:00Speaker 4: Ability has changed, you know what I say. No, it's not.
- 22:03Speaker 4: It's like back in the day you had to run
- 22:04Speaker 4: home to see one or six in park or you
- 22:06Speaker 4: was gonna miss it was I know, I'm gonna watch
- 22:08Speaker 4: it later, and I.
- 22:08Speaker 6: Got it reported and or let me see what this
- 22:11Speaker 6: person is doing right now, right lives exactly.
- 22:14Speaker 4: You didn't have that, you know what I mean, So
- 22:15Speaker 4: you had to You had to get those moments. You
- 22:17Speaker 4: had to try to get they shirt or they wristband
- 22:19Speaker 4: or they towel because you ain't gonna see them again,
- 22:22Speaker 4: and until they maybe come back to your city and
- 22:24Speaker 4: or you know, you're not gonna see them live yet
- 22:26Speaker 4: even be able to go up and touch and feel,
- 22:28Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So yeah, I think that
- 22:29Speaker 4: that's what created and why it might not be that
- 22:32Speaker 4: way no more. Everybody is just too comfortable. But I'll
- 22:35Speaker 4: just see it later.
- 22:36Speaker 9: Are we gonna get posters? Are y'all gonna read the posters?
- 22:39Speaker 9: I still gotta be two key posters that's got byweezy posters.
- 22:42Speaker 9: I got all kind of post can we oh, y'all
- 22:45Speaker 9: y'all read it posts.
- 22:46Speaker 6: Yeah, we're actually considering doing kind of like a type
- 22:49Speaker 6: of yearbook, you know what I'm saying, where you know,
- 22:52Speaker 6: we go back through some word up magazine photos because
- 22:57Speaker 6: that memorabilia is so key.
- 22:59Speaker 7: And yeah, we definitely, we definitely thought about that.
- 23:03Speaker 2: For y'all as a group, it's forgiving us something y'all
- 23:05Speaker 2: fully achieved amongst each other, or it's something y'all still practicing.
- 23:09Speaker 6: I think it's I think it's a constant practice, you
- 23:12Speaker 6: know what I mean. Like Rad said, Tomorrow's not promised,
- 23:15Speaker 6: but we here, you know what I mean, and we available.
- 23:19Speaker 6: I know I'm available for forgiveness and understanding. I think
- 23:23Speaker 6: you have to meet your days like that. That's how
- 23:26Speaker 6: I personally feel.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, shout out to my Lord and saving
- 23:29Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. I've been on this journey for like three
- 23:33Speaker 4: years now. Shout out to my wife for bringing me in.
- 23:37Speaker 4: But yeah, I got saved, man, I got baptized. And
- 23:41Speaker 4: once I understood that, you know, I forgive everybody immediately,
- 23:47Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, I'm not gonna let that
- 23:49Speaker 4: torment me. I'm not gonna carry that with me, you
- 23:52Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So it's like I don't got
- 23:54Speaker 4: a rock with you. I forgive you, you know what
- 23:56Speaker 4: I mean, because I'm not gonna carry that. So when
- 23:58Speaker 4: I see you against what's up? Bro, you know, I
- 24:00Speaker 4: don't rock with you, but I ain't hold that even
- 24:04Speaker 4: but not amongst each other though, No, in general, it's
- 24:06Speaker 4: a it's a it's a way of life, you know
- 24:07Speaker 4: what I mean. Like I love these dudes. I ain't
- 24:09Speaker 4: gonna let nothing happen to him, even when I'm angry
- 24:11Speaker 4: at them, you know what I'm saying. And in the
- 24:13Speaker 4: past seven years, if something was to go down and
- 24:15Speaker 4: I've seen something though, we squabbing to the death, and
- 24:17Speaker 4: then I still don't like you, you know what I'm saying.
- 24:19Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna let.
- 24:20Speaker 4: Nothing happen to you. But now now, just like like
- 24:22Speaker 4: I said, you, as humans, we can't hold on to that,
- 24:25Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
- 24:26Speaker 7: You gotta let it guard Hell, yeah, it's not good
- 24:29Speaker 7: for all of that.
- 24:29Speaker 6: So yeah, for me, I feel like life is pretty
- 24:36Speaker 6: much empty and meaningless until you put meaning behind it.
- 24:40Speaker 6: So whatever action or whatever happens, it doesn't have it
- 24:44Speaker 6: any meaning until you give it what meaning you wanted
- 24:46Speaker 6: to have.
- 24:47Speaker 7: So forgiveness for me is easy.
- 24:50Speaker 5: I would have to say, learning how to forgive, you know,
- 24:52Speaker 5: repent me to turn things around, you know what I mean.
- 24:54Speaker 5: So just you know, correcting your behavior and understanding, you know,
- 24:58Speaker 5: how can you be better? And and set boundaries because
- 25:01Speaker 5: everyone's different, So you know, I think it's a daily process,
- 25:04Speaker 5: you know, because it's like you don't want to let
- 25:06Speaker 5: the you know, the mind is like if even if
- 25:10Speaker 5: you're not keeping your thoughts out of the captivity of Christ,
- 25:12Speaker 5: it's like now your your brain is just everywhere and
- 25:15Speaker 5: it's taking to a place of dark spaces that you
- 25:17Speaker 5: don't need to be in, and they could make you
- 25:19Speaker 5: kind of like respond differently. So I think every day
- 25:22Speaker 5: it is a process a hold on.
- 25:25Speaker 2: You said, boundaries, What boundaries exist now right as that
- 25:28Speaker 2: didn't before? And why are they necessary?
- 25:31Speaker 5: When you're an adult, you have to understand, Okay, there's
- 25:34Speaker 5: a time to play and there's time to be serious.
- 25:35Speaker 5: So you need to understand you need to read read
- 25:37Speaker 5: the room, you know, to read people's energy. Read there
- 25:40Speaker 5: what they're going through, have compassion and have grace and
- 25:43Speaker 5: understand that. And knowing that and understanding those things, it
- 25:46Speaker 5: allows for you to navigate move through this world a lot.
- 25:48Speaker 5: These are a lot less problems.
- 25:50Speaker 4: Yeah, I've learned that you have to manage everyone differently,
- 25:55Speaker 4: Like I can't manage you the same way I managed Val.
- 25:59Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, And that's where the respect
- 26:01Speaker 4: comes in, is understanding that you are you the way
- 26:05Speaker 4: you are and I gotta I gotta rock with that,
- 26:07Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
- 26:09Speaker 1: Asked do you own the scream tool, you own the
- 26:11Speaker 1: Scream franchise something like that, and I heard you own
- 26:17Speaker 1: don't all of it? A piece of it just business,
- 26:23Speaker 1: you know. Once it came back around it was up
- 26:26Speaker 1: for grabs, you know Gary shout out to Gary BPC.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Of course, just just felt like, man, this is you, like,
- 26:31Speaker 1: this is yours, like you you know you should have this.
- 26:33Speaker 1: If it's up you need to come get this. And
- 26:36Speaker 1: it was just as simbol as that and just everybody know,
- 26:38Speaker 1: like I'm not one of the people like if I
- 26:40Speaker 1: if I own something, I don't want it to be
- 26:42Speaker 1: bow wowed out. That's not why I did it. It
- 26:46Speaker 1: is a full circle MoMA for me, but you know,
- 26:49Speaker 1: I felt like it was. I felt like the branch
- 26:50Speaker 1: should have handed to me a long time ago. I
- 26:52Speaker 1: felt like we shouldn't even have gotten to even to
- 26:53Speaker 1: this point, you know what I mean? And pretty much
- 26:55Speaker 1: it's kind of like I just want to be how
- 26:57Speaker 1: jay Z is for Made in America, for it, like
- 26:59Speaker 1: I'm around, but I'm I'm being the trailer doing, you know,
- 27:03Speaker 1: enjoying myself on the tour bus, just enjoying all the
- 27:05Speaker 1: artists perform. You know, it's not the bow put on,
- 27:07Speaker 1: it's the scream fastest. The scream is for everyone else.
- 27:10Speaker 1: It's no different than the Coachella. It's no different than anything.
- 27:12Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's nothing huge. Yeah yeah,
- 27:14Speaker 1: I might one year, I might want to host it
- 27:16Speaker 1: and and that's it. And I might not never want
- 27:19Speaker 1: to perform on it at all, But it's for it's
- 27:21Speaker 1: for all of us. You know, are you doing an
- 27:24Speaker 1: album with Justice X? You wouldn't. You'll do the full album?
- 27:28Speaker 12: So meh, because I know you know, you know, I've
- 27:45Speaker 12: never seen.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Album together. Uh nah, Chris, we got a record out now,
- 27:53Speaker 1: use me shout the headmaker. You know what I'm saying. Uh,

- 32:58Speaker 4: I got another one on the way to.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Here.
- 33:06Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm so interested in your spiritual journeys.
- 33:08Speaker 2: I guess because we've seen O Marion's kind of play out.
- 33:11Speaker 2: But then I'm listening to the books talk. I hear
- 33:13Speaker 2: you feels, I hear ras. I'm like, I want I
- 33:15Speaker 2: want to know more about the healing projects you said
- 33:17Speaker 2: you went to China. I want to know what books
- 33:19Speaker 2: you said you found.
- 33:19Speaker 8: Christ we knew we know about.
- 33:25Speaker 1: No No, no real talk.
- 33:27Speaker 5: The fact that I remember I was talking to Fizz
- 33:30Speaker 5: and he was I mean, you speak for yourself, but
- 33:33Speaker 5: from my observation, he was doing a lot of long walks,
- 33:35Speaker 5: and he was in church and studying the word, and
- 33:39Speaker 5: you know, he was in a place where he had
- 33:41Speaker 5: the courage to be able to stand on stage and
- 33:43Speaker 5: apologize to him publicly.
- 33:45Speaker 1: He could have did that, you know.
- 33:47Speaker 4: I think I tapped him.
- 33:48Speaker 1: Like ye it was at the concert together.
- 33:51Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right.
- 33:58Speaker 5: There was a lot of things that needed to be handled.
- 33:59Speaker 1: But thank you man.
- 34:02Speaker 2: So it's been it's God in therapy for the most part.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Definitely God, Definitely God.
- 34:08Speaker 6: I would say my fitness journey helped a lot, you know,
- 34:12Speaker 6: being in the gym with myself locked in and looking
- 34:15Speaker 6: in that mirror, you know, having to get right with myself.
- 34:20Speaker 6: That that's where the work came in at rely. Yeah, yeah,
- 34:24Speaker 6: realizing who I am and what I mean.
- 34:28Speaker 2: You know, how has your y'all understanding of vulnerability change
- 34:32Speaker 2: since you know your first round.
- 34:35Speaker 6: I know, for me, I recognize and realize it's a
- 34:38Speaker 6: superpower and it's only something that you know, it's it's
- 34:42Speaker 6: something that if you allow people to use against you.
- 34:45Speaker 6: Can be It could hurt you, you know what I mean,
- 34:48Speaker 6: It's nothing to be afraid about when you're vulnerable. Vulnerability
- 34:52Speaker 6: is a superpower for an artist because we're about self expression,
- 34:57Speaker 6: we're about growth.
- 34:58Speaker 7: So I figured that out pretty pretty.
- 35:01Speaker 6: Young, you know, singing songs, being vulnerable, talking about personal issues.
- 35:05Speaker 6: I know for me, that's when I was like, Okay,
- 35:08Speaker 6: vulnerability is not a bad thing. As long as you
- 35:11Speaker 6: face what you're feeling, you know, sensitive about or or
- 35:16Speaker 6: insecure about. No one can use that weapon against you
- 35:20Speaker 6: if you're honest with yourself. So vulnerability is actually a
- 35:24Speaker 6: super powerful an artist.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Is that gonna come out in the music for sure?
- 35:28Speaker 7: Yeah. We got a song called mileage. A song called mileage.
- 35:33Speaker 6: Don't let about your mileage because you know at this
- 35:36Speaker 6: you know, at this age, you have to realize that
- 35:39Speaker 6: you know, you meet somebody, you know they have a pass, somebody.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Might be.
- 36:00Speaker 8: Long in the last interview, did that work doesn't get anywhere?
- 36:02Speaker 2: No?
- 36:02Speaker 6: No, I'm not a shooter shatter. I'm like, when I

- 39:46Speaker 1: Like throughout my journey that I met girls for that's
- 39:48Speaker 1: sixteen years of friendship. Now I meet you, you become
- 39:51Speaker 1: my girl, and we go on tour. I'm about to
- 39:52Speaker 1: hear Houston all these places, Like it's just hard for
- 39:55Speaker 1: me to tell the friend that of eighteen years, hey,
- 39:57Speaker 1: as well as you know what my girlfriend she was like,
- 39:59Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck me. I've been knowing you

- 40:02Speaker 1: with you for two years. It's like, damn, eighteen years.
- 40:04Speaker 1: Two years. It's like it's like one hundred girls I've
- 40:06Speaker 1: been known for eighteen years.
- 40:08Speaker 5: That's how you talk to him, how you lean them.
- 40:11Speaker 1: I mean it was between eight ten years.
- 40:13Speaker 10: That's okay, So these are friend.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but then when we get around it just
- 40:30Speaker 1: we ain't got to but I got you know what
- 40:31Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's just it's just tough, y'all. Oh you
- 40:34Speaker 1: know me, bro, I'm a host naturally, I love and
- 40:42Speaker 1: it bothers a lot of women that you know. You
- 40:44Speaker 1: you be around a lot of girls and it's like, well,
- 40:47Speaker 1: they don't want nothing from me. I got worry about
- 40:50Speaker 1: battling for girls. And it's just cool. I made I
- 40:53Speaker 1: made a fortune off of women. So I get to
- 40:54Speaker 1: hear him talk and converse. I can make that a record.
- 40:56Speaker 1: I can write about some ship, like have a conversation
- 40:58Speaker 1: with different people. I don't know. I just can't be
- 41:00Speaker 1: pent up with one person forever that it's just not
- 41:02Speaker 1: realistic to me, Like it's hard. That's why I look
- 41:05Speaker 1: at you see the dynamic, Like as soon as I'm
- 41:09Speaker 1: about to go left, I go to him for go right,
- 41:11Speaker 1: Like all right, yeah, of course I'll listen.
- 41:14Speaker 2: To hard to like you and O Mario, Like, how
- 41:18Speaker 2: do y'all know? Women want y'all for y'all.
- 41:20Speaker 1: You know, but what about you know, you.
- 41:22Speaker 6: Know, you know, yeah, there's a certain well, I mean,
- 41:26Speaker 6: I'm a person that likes to take my time, you
- 41:28Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, especially when it comes to titles
- 41:30Speaker 6: and ideas. I don't like to invest blindly, so you know,
- 41:35Speaker 6: we see if they stand the test of time. If
- 41:37Speaker 6: they do, then more than likely keep a friendship.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I was a sniper too, don't let that ship for y'all.
- 41:43Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm here with him today. I just want
- 41:45Speaker 1: to put that in there. He's like sneaky snipers and
- 41:50Speaker 1: don't get it confused manner. Hell yeah, he just ain't.
- 41:59Speaker 1: He's just he's you know, you know, only just yes,
- 42:02Speaker 1: you want.
- 42:03Speaker 7: To maintain that.
- 42:06Speaker 3: If you meet somebody that she gives you all the
- 42:07Speaker 3: right vibes, you're down to be in a relationship, like
- 42:09Speaker 3: because I thought you say didn't really believe in like
- 42:11Speaker 3: the monogamy thing.
- 42:13Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm definitely down to explore a partnership.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Possibly.
- 42:31Speaker 8: Partnership like how does it work?
- 42:34Speaker 7: Well, I mean it could come in in different ways.
- 42:36Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Again, it's tears to it.
- 42:41Speaker 8: It's like.
- 42:46Speaker 7: Because it's like partnership said. You know what I mean,
- 42:48Speaker 7: how do you know?
- 42:50Speaker 6: Only time will tell Circumstances and situations show you who
- 42:53Speaker 6: people are. People could do this all day and women
- 42:56Speaker 6: are excellent at it. You know, they're excellent at the mask,
- 43:00Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, Okay, time
- 43:04Speaker 6: is our friend.
- 43:04Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
- 43:05Speaker 6: Show me, Let's go through some situations. Let me see
- 43:08Speaker 6: how you respond to really see if you're on a
- 43:10Speaker 6: level like that. You know what I mean, How are
- 43:12Speaker 6: you responding to life?
- 43:14Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
- 43:15Speaker 6: Like, what what's your family situation? Have you dealt with
- 43:18Speaker 6: your childhood traumas?
- 43:19Speaker 1: And a lot of.
- 43:20Speaker 6: Beautiful women sadly haven't. So I just take my time.
- 43:25Speaker 6: You got me to sneaky snip.
- 43:26Speaker 4: But for you now, it's polyon.
- 43:39Speaker 1: When you think about it.
- 43:40Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, Because again that.
- 43:44Speaker 6: When you think about it, it's like, okay, you know
- 43:46Speaker 6: we we've literally given ourselves to our audience. They're women,
- 43:51Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, hold up,
- 43:53Speaker 6: you can't make your man. You don't want to make
- 43:55Speaker 6: her mad, you know what I'm saying, bringing out this
- 43:57Speaker 6: new one, you know what I'm saying. So I think
- 43:59Speaker 6: for me, you know, I don't want to share my
- 44:03Speaker 6: space with someone who really isn't qualified, you know what
- 44:06Speaker 6: I mean.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Because because I've done that before, which.
- 44:11Speaker 10: I said Mario, we'll heal a bit right out them drawers.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Like his wife and his Bible.
- 44:24Speaker 8: It was like, yeah, maybe you know, we spread our
- 44:27Speaker 8: seed and we just parent.
- 44:29Speaker 3: Now it's like, yeah, because hell, you're trauma girl. I'm
- 44:32Speaker 3: just saying, but just listening to you, it's like I
- 44:39Speaker 3: thought it was you were you're monogamous because you really
- 44:41Speaker 3: just don't want to be one person.
- 44:43Speaker 7: And then now I still don't.
- 44:44Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that.
- 44:45Speaker 6: I can't come across a woman that I feel like, okay, well,
- 44:49Speaker 6: you know, like I came across one woman that quality
- 44:52Speaker 6: time was her love language. So it's like I spent
- 44:55Speaker 6: more time with her than maybe some other chicks that
- 44:57Speaker 6: I had. So it was like, okay, I'm not really
- 45:00Speaker 6: I don't need to be inundated with a whole bunch
- 45:02Speaker 6: of chicks, you know what I'm saying. So it's possible
- 45:04Speaker 6: in that avenue if I just so happened to love
- 45:07Speaker 6: somebody on that level, then I could see it.
- 45:09Speaker 7: But if you know, if I get bored, you know what.
- 45:13Speaker 6: I mean, if I getting bored and you ain't you know,

- 49:18Speaker 9: Now?
- 49:18Speaker 2: Outside of the contracts, outside of the tour, outside of
- 49:21Speaker 2: the cameras. Just this relationship that y'all.
- 49:23Speaker 5: Are, the five of us is really friends, like real talk.
- 49:26Speaker 5: We talk, we we we hold each other accountable. We
- 49:30Speaker 5: talk a lot of shit in our group chat. You
- 49:31Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, It's not just business. You know
- 49:33Speaker 5: what I mean. We were hanging out and what you say, Fizz,
- 49:38Speaker 5: what it means to us.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Ship?
- 49:41Speaker 7: Man?
- 49:42Speaker 1: This is this is this is brotherhood. It means it
- 49:47Speaker 1: means like.
- 49:49Speaker 5: Never being judged.
- 49:50Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, walking in front of somebody,
- 49:53Speaker 6: feeling like I can fully be holy myself. You know,
- 49:57Speaker 6: I don't have to put on the act. I could
- 49:59Speaker 6: take my shades for a second, you feel me. So
- 50:02Speaker 6: it's just it's true authenticity. There's no there's no smoking mirrors.
- 50:09Speaker 2: So did you did you and ever feel like y'all
- 50:11Speaker 2: would get back to this point.
- 50:13Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 50:17Speaker 2: I know I.
- 50:20Speaker 5: Believe that it would come.
- 50:22Speaker 4: What happened just.
- 50:23Speaker 8: Because of the brotherhood rasby, like what was your like
- 50:25Speaker 8: hope in it.
- 50:27Speaker 5: I truly understand the platform that we've been given. So
- 50:30Speaker 5: love covers multitude of sins. So the fact that we
- 50:32Speaker 5: can come back together show the world that we can heal.
- 50:34Speaker 5: We all can go through, you know, our traumas and
- 50:36Speaker 5: different things and overcome and that's that's that's huge, right,
- 50:40Speaker 5: So just having that faith and and then you know,
- 50:44Speaker 5: we have families and stuff, so to be able to
- 50:46Speaker 5: go out and you know, not only just be friends
- 50:48Speaker 5: and brothers, but we get to go out and make
- 50:50Speaker 5: money and we get to like finish what we started
- 50:52Speaker 5: and really like not that we took it for granted,
- 50:54Speaker 5: but like appreciate it even more.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Like just being back up here. It's cool, man, it's good.
- 50:58Speaker 7: I think for me, it serves as a grand remembrance.
- 51:03Speaker 6: You know, sometimes you go off into life and you
- 51:06Speaker 6: forget things, and you know, sometimes you feel like you're.
- 51:10Speaker 7: Doing it alone, you know what I mean.
- 51:13Speaker 6: And quite frankly, even when we disband, you know, I
- 51:19Speaker 6: realized that wasn't our doing, you know what I mean.
- 51:22Speaker 6: So for me, I think it's beyond brotherhood. I think
- 51:26Speaker 6: it's a grand remembrance of our of our hard work
- 51:31Speaker 6: and purpose in life.
- 51:32Speaker 2: You know.
- 51:34Speaker 6: I think you meet people along your journey and they
- 51:37Speaker 6: reflect your purpose to you, and they remind you the
- 51:41Speaker 6: importance of walking, you know, on your path, and how
- 51:45Speaker 6: it's different, you know, it's different from others.
- 51:48Speaker 7: So this serves as a grand remembrance.
- 51:51Speaker 6: And I'm so happy to be a curator along with
- 51:54Speaker 6: my brothers of nostalgia because nostalgia is a special gift.
- 51:58Speaker 6: And to be quite frank, I'm say this, we brought
- 52:01Speaker 6: that back on the plane in twenty nineteen. You know,
- 52:04Speaker 6: a lot of you know, shows and promoters they wouldn't
- 52:08Speaker 6: putting together early two thousands, before twenty nineteen. So to
- 52:12Speaker 6: be you know, fathered in to this level as an
- 52:16Speaker 6: entertainer when artists nowadays they don't they don't even survive
- 52:21Speaker 6: five years, they don't even survive two or three years.
- 52:24Speaker 6: So it's a high honor to be in this position
- 52:27Speaker 6: to still be able to come and you know, sit
- 52:31Speaker 6: and have an opportunity to make two hundred million.
- 52:44Speaker 1: Talk about.
- 52:51Speaker 14: I would the time about the two hundred million, five
- 52:56Speaker 14: years missing what he was talking about, things about the
- 53:01Speaker 14: process about.
- 53:07Speaker 2: You say that, though, because I feel like there is
- 53:09Speaker 2: a responsibility when you're performing music tied to people's formative here.
- 53:13Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, fact it is a responsibility.
- 53:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about you in the brotherhood?
- 53:21Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm excited. Man, I'm just happy. I don't
- 53:25Speaker 4: know if it's words that could express like what it
- 53:29Speaker 4: truly means to me, So I'm gonna just say it.
- 53:33Speaker 4: Being with these guys from basically twelve years old, you
- 53:37Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like we spent some of the
- 53:38Speaker 4: most the most valuable like really like maturing, like you know,
- 53:44Speaker 4: the experiences that we had only week in you know
- 53:48Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like talk about that like when you
- 53:50Speaker 4: were saying we was overseas at fourteen with no no adult,
- 53:54Speaker 4: like we were thugging it. You know what I'm saying.
- 53:57Speaker 4: I felt like when the group broke up, piece of
- 54:01Speaker 4: my puzzle was taken away, you know what I mean,
- 54:03Speaker 4: And it wasn't complete no more, And it made me
- 54:05Speaker 4: go to a space where I would never trust nobody
- 54:07Speaker 4: again because I trusted them so much to see something
- 54:10Speaker 4: like that be able to be broken up. It made
- 54:13Speaker 4: me feel like the only thing I'm gonna trust is
- 54:15Speaker 4: my kids and my woman, you know what I'm saying,
- 54:17Speaker 4: my household. And for all of those years, I literally
- 54:20Speaker 4: didn't make no friends, you know what I mean.
- 54:22Speaker 6: I should have seen it in rehearsal and it's like, damn,
- 54:26Speaker 6: I don't hang out with nobody.
- 54:27Speaker 1: No, I don't hold up and started a dance battle,
- 54:33Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh.
- 54:33Speaker 4: We going back? Yeah, yeah, I shut I shut down,
- 54:37Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And I just I always
- 54:40Speaker 4: say that like I couldn't talk to nobody around me
- 54:42Speaker 4: and be like remember when remember that, bro? So it's
- 54:46Speaker 4: like all my jokes didn't make sense, Like.
- 54:51Speaker 1: This was lonely. And then when we were able to we.
- 54:55Speaker 4: Were able to come back. This time it's on a
- 54:58Speaker 4: different level and we saw that every issue that we had,
- 55:01Speaker 4: and it's like, finally my puzzle is complete again, you
- 55:05Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, And I can call oh and
- 55:06Speaker 4: be like, bro, I remember when we was lit, and
- 55:09Speaker 4: I can laugh with him and it's like I got
- 55:11Speaker 4: I got that that part of my life back. So
- 55:13Speaker 4: it's like overall, I'm at one hundred percent.
- 55:15Speaker 2: Now, yeah, that's got to be the same for you.
- 55:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you know, even though the boys went
- 55:23Speaker 1: through they do they drama. Me, Oh we didn't.
- 55:26Speaker 7: Me.
- 55:26Speaker 1: Oh, we done went through our drama multiple times. You
- 55:28Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, even like right now, yeah, oh yeah,
- 55:31Speaker 1: like the last told me oh and then say one
- 55:32Speaker 1: word to each other, were passing each other shoulder to shoulder,
- 55:35Speaker 1: not saying one word, but my aunt like hey, like hey,
- 55:38Speaker 1: I te I see y'all see all right up? Oh
- 55:40Speaker 1: what up? O going right there? So for us to
- 55:44Speaker 1: go from I got the I got fast, I got
- 55:47Speaker 1: the egos. So it's like, yeah, I don't know trade
- 55:50Speaker 1: Trey trying to get into may y'all need to talk,
- 55:52Speaker 1: all right? If you walked out here and I walk
- 55:53Speaker 1: right there and then we can talk. We all meet
- 55:55Speaker 1: him in the middle like this all right, I don't
- 55:56Speaker 1: want to talk neither of this. So it's like us
- 55:58Speaker 1: to to watch them what they want through me and
- 56:00Speaker 1: oh we've had our own things as brothers. And then
- 56:03Speaker 1: for us to finally like.
- 56:04Speaker 5: All wars I was I was already was like let's go.
- 56:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like that was the
- 56:10Speaker 1: perfect time. Yeah, yeah, but we end up Okay. I
- 56:16Speaker 1: was like, I would never do another tour. Yeah, I'm
- 56:27Speaker 1: telling you so like what we never? Nah, It's just
- 56:33Speaker 1: you know, the boys know because even in the group chat,
- 56:35Speaker 1: they'll know I'm gonna come in that motherfuckers pas at
- 56:37Speaker 1: least twice every time. But it's about the work. It's
- 56:41Speaker 1: just niggas is just really passionate about this ship. This
- 56:44Speaker 1: is all I know since five. So it's like I
- 56:46Speaker 1: know what we supposed to be at, I know how
- 56:48Speaker 1: to look supposed to be and everybody if we're all
- 56:51Speaker 1: on the same page, but if we can't get them
- 56:52Speaker 1: on safe like it's it's frustration built. And this is
- 56:54Speaker 1: the fact that we want to be great. So I
- 56:56Speaker 1: think to watch like, oh, there's definitely ego for sure.
- 56:59Speaker 1: And then you know, like I said with the brother thing,
- 57:01Speaker 1: it's like I don't like working with people if I
- 57:04Speaker 1: really don't know you. And it's a lot of artists's
- 57:05Speaker 1: like that, Like I got to ask for features before
- 57:07Speaker 1: and they like, man, I don't know about I need
- 57:09Speaker 1: to hang with any moneyed to doad to dead like
- 57:10Speaker 1: they know they shoot me on a record, I'm doing
- 57:12Speaker 1: it right there. Shitting it right back, like these are
- 57:14Speaker 1: the guys that it ain't even about the money. It's
- 57:16Speaker 1: just about like this. To me, I don't even care
- 57:17Speaker 1: about the money, Like this tour is just fun just
- 57:19Speaker 1: to do it with them. It's a full circle moment.
- 57:21Speaker 1: And you see, any time I tour, I'm touring with
- 57:22Speaker 1: one of my brothers. If it ain't them as a group,
- 57:25Speaker 1: if it ain't be two K, if it ain't Oh,
- 57:26Speaker 1: then it's Chris. If it ain't Chris, then I'm trying
- 57:29Speaker 1: to do something with Snoop. Like I like working with
- 57:31Speaker 1: people who are genuinely rock with and fuck with. It's
- 57:33Speaker 1: just the work feels better. The fans can receive it better.
- 57:36Speaker 1: They know it's organic, organic, they know it's authentic, and
- 57:39Speaker 1: it's just received well. So, like I said, I couldn't
- 57:42Speaker 1: like I wasn't going tour this year at all. I
- 57:43Speaker 1: was just gonna pop up in the screen FEESTU my

- 1:00:49Speaker 3: you said that he didn't respect your craft because he
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: said whatever he said about how you've seen.
- 1:00:53Speaker 7: Yeah, he was like he said something like it was
- 1:00:56Speaker 7: it was hitting.
- 1:00:58Speaker 6: Yeah, he's like hitting the miss and this is come on, bro,
- 1:01:01Speaker 6: twenty years, Come on, bro that though everybody.
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: Knows y'all, like you know, the host of these podcast
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: is that's some messy stuff right there. You feel me
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: like you present the opportunity for us to have to
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: go head up, you know, like like literally, what kind
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: of question is that? You know what I mean? And
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: at the same time shout out tomorrow, but like what
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: kind of answer is that? You know what I'm saying?
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: Like we all, we all work to build this music industry.
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: And guess what your favorite artist has bad days. Your
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: favorite artist is flat.
- 1:01:35Speaker 7: The greatest singers, they don't sound great all of the time.
- 1:01:38Speaker 7: Like it's a part of it. Y'all come here and
- 1:01:41Speaker 7: show up every day, y'all not feeling good every day?
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Y'all don't feel like talking about this, you know.
- 1:01:46Speaker 7: What I'm saying.
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: They don't see that though, you know what I mean.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: So it's like for another person at another station.
- 1:01:51Speaker 7: To be like, oh yeah, and you'd be like, yo,
- 1:01:54Speaker 7: what's up with that?
- 1:01:55Speaker 6: You know, and I'm never I've never been an artist
- 1:01:58Speaker 6: to hate on other artists. That's never been my thing.
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: So we've supported everybody.
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: Yeah, so when people try to do the little slide thing,
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: I have an issue with that because it's unnecessary. We
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: all here and we have enough room to make space
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: for everybody, you know what I'm saying, And that's why
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: everybody sees me and then they put their arm out
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: on one to say what's up, But then they're going
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: to interview and it's just.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: Like I have a problem with them.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Another thing they fuck with you about, which is crazy
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: because I've seen real dances give you props, like the
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: Chris Browns and them. For whatever reason, there's always just
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: me and going around there Mario geting away with this bullshit.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just that one dance that everybody redoes. But
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: he gets busy dancing crazy and everybody, oh what yeh.
- 1:02:41Speaker 7: First of all, when you dope best something, you don't
- 1:02:44Speaker 7: lose it.
- 1:02:45Speaker 6: You know, you might shift and it might change for you,
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: but you know, you change from how you used to
- 1:02:51Speaker 6: be in the beginning, But you don't lose it, you
- 1:02:53Speaker 6: know what I mean, unless you don't use it and
- 1:02:55Speaker 6: trust me.
- 1:02:55Speaker 7: I'll be in the lab.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: I'll be in the lab. The old dance twenty four,
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: that's that's not a cat gonna dance everywhere we go.
- 1:03:08Speaker 7: I'm joyous.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the other day we.
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: Was rehearsal and he just out of know where. It
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: was like, I just love dancing.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: It was like, I want you to really know this.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Yeah you know.
- 1:03:24Speaker 8: Yeah you mentioned the BT was where you all were talking.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: That was the Yeah, the one that just passed. We
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: did the one on six and Park tribute.
- 1:03:31Speaker 8: Great.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that because I asked you. I
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: was there, We talked you next aage for BT. Yeah,
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: we we wanted to see your boy, like what happened
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: Like that was a moment that we.
- 1:03:43Speaker 10: Wanted what I want.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: It was, it was and they would have never discussed
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: like it was never discussed.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: I know.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: I mean, I've been performing by myself for twenty plus years,
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: so it's really creatively didn't even pop in my head.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: I was just more putting the show together. BT came
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: with the with the records that they wanted me to do.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: I honestly on everything I love and I said it too.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: I think TMZ or somebody caught me coming out of
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: somewhere that weekend. I said, I didn't even know that
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: that that they were there in attendance. Because when you're
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: hosting the show or performing the you know, the luxury
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: we get this. We don't got to go in the audience.
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: We get to stay in our trailers and just come
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: get us when it's time, we go back to the trailers.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: I never set out there, so I didn't know. But
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: I think that you know, BT would have known, or
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: if I would have known, maybe that's something that we
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: probably could have worked tours, and I think that could
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: that would have been like even it would have made
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: the one on six tribute even more major. Would have
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: been crazy. But I'm good talking. Yea, Yeah, I didn't
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: know none of that. She say, she ain't say nothing.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: I'm surprised our pr ain't step in and say something.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: My old thing is like you is my record. It's
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: a number one record, right, No.
- 1:04:55Speaker 7: It's y'all records, bow Our featuring.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Yes, you.
- 1:05:08Speaker 10: Know you ain't never had nobody.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: I got two verses.
- 1:05:19Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna say this, but made a great
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: record together, I personally will believe came out.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: I think that this is, this is singing.
- 1:05:36Speaker 6: It's all love man, you loving life, and it's beautiful
- 1:05:41Speaker 6: just for old time sake.
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: I went Tripp, break in, I went Tripp. But for me,
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: I'm not about to be campaigning for it through like
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: I ain't you know what I'm saying. I'm already rocking.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: I ain't campaign you under control do but I'm not
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: about to begging a mother fucking to come out and
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: perform my song with me, like I'm not about to
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: do that.
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: There's one thing I want to see. One that I
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: want to see three O W get back together as well.
- 1:06:07Speaker 6: So if.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: We got to get her at the money right now,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: that's the home. And she came to one of Adrian
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: riches hell and talk about.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: I got one last question. Standing on stage together now
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: feel like closure or a second chance.
- 1:06:37Speaker 7: It's something different.
- 1:06:38Speaker 6: I think standing on stage feels more like power than
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: a second chance or or forgiveness. It feels like, yeah,
- 1:06:45Speaker 6: we did this, nobody got in our way, all of
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: the mishaps, the misunderstanding.
- 1:06:52Speaker 7: It's like, yeah, it's our choice now, so it's power
- 1:06:57Speaker 7: to me.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: So piggyback on that. Though, one thing I want to
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: see happening out of this is we don't do this
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: this time, and that's it, Like like I remember just
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: talking like just I know how passionate Ras is about it,
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: and I know I heard Old say this one interview,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: like we left a lot on the table that we
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: gotta go back and clean up. I want to see
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: God Bless you. I want to see him do all
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: the festivals this summer after we wrap off the tour.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: I want them to do everything, like go get everything
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: that y'all left on the table for them years. You
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: felt that whatever's old, y'all, go get that ship because
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: it's there and being at this nostalgic thing is in
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: you see God bless you again. You see everybody on tour.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: You see what Nelly and Wayne went out last year.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: See about the damn have the number one record right now?
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Monica, Monica Brain's got done
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: like he said, like he booted it back up again.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: And it's like I want to see the boys go
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: get it because it's a space for B two K.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: It's a whole that's missing for y'all. And I know
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: for a fact that motherfucker's gonna cut the check, like
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: for the next two threes. So that's for me, that's
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: what I want to see. I want to see them
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: go back and clean up everything that they left on.
- 1:07:58Speaker 7: The project coming.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: And that about you and that about you and listen
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: the whole circus on the road. Yeah, that's what I
