Speaker 1: everybody inside and stuff. But it's like, you know, we
3:47

3:50
Speaker 1: sitting down the whole time. And shit, no, for sure,
3:52
Speaker 1: I think like also, you guys, and you know you
3:55
Speaker 1: mentioned the pandemic, like, thank you for you know, the
3:58
Speaker 1: contributions to the spillage really jolbum because yeah, thank you bro.
4:03
Speaker 1: Yeah that was much needed last year. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
4:06
Speaker 1: it was a good vibe. Man, it was good time
4:08
Speaker 1: to make it to time. Yeah, you know for people
4:10
Speaker 1: who don't kind of know, I kind of look at
4:12
Speaker 1: you guys as like the kind of like the closest
4:16
Speaker 1: thing to what we have to Dungeon Family in twenty twenty,
4:19
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, you know, and I know you guys
4:21
Speaker 1: have been rocking for a long time. A lot of
4:23
Speaker 1: people think that that's like the first project, but you
4:24
Speaker 1: guys have other projects. Projects. Yeah, yeah, like this is yeah,
4:30
Speaker 1: like Mariva's Fire obviously, you know j I D. Black
4:34
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I spoke with g I D
4:36
Speaker 1: a bit about kind of his roots with Spillage Village
4:40
Speaker 1: and like his early roots with Mariva and Black. But
4:45
Speaker 1: how did you guys all form the collective? Like like initially,
4:49
Speaker 1: because like I said, it's got an energy that is
4:52
Speaker 1: very reminiscent of you know, some of the nineties hip
4:55
Speaker 1: hop collectives, you know, like some native tongue shit, you
4:57
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Initially it was just Us Jid
5:01
Speaker 1: and and well initially just Us Jid and Hollywood JB.
5:06
Speaker 1: Like initially because we all went to school together and
5:09
Speaker 1: then once we all got out of school came back
5:11
Speaker 1: to Atlanta, we didn't really know what to do with
5:14
Speaker 1: ourselves much other than keep hanging out, you know what
5:16
Speaker 1: I'm saying, keep hanging out and making music. So then
5:18
Speaker 1: we looked up with Mariva, who we met while we
5:20
Speaker 1: was in school, and she was still living here. She
5:22
Speaker 1: started coming over more naturally. It's like Black, you know
5:26
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Hollywood Jab brought his brother Jordan, and
5:29
Speaker 1: then Christo who is Ji's producer and DJ bro his
5:32
Speaker 1: brother Benji. It was all just like we naturally just
5:34
Speaker 1: hanging out together all the time anyway, just making music
5:36
Speaker 1: all the time anyway. And then it was like, well,
5:37
Speaker 1: we're gonna what do we call this? It's like a
5:39
Speaker 1: village bros. Like, and then we keep called you the
5:41
Speaker 1: spillage village because the ideas just kept coming out. That's
5:44
Speaker 1: all we ever did. We got together. Yeah, it's crazy
5:46
Speaker 1: too because I don't think like people really you know,
5:49
Speaker 1: Black kind of had a meteoric rise in the last
5:52
Speaker 1: three or four years, you know, and I don't think
5:54
Speaker 1: people really kind of understand like his roots in and ship,
6:00
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and even just like his
6:02
Speaker 1: talent as like an MC, you know what I mean,
6:04
Speaker 1: Like he could rap his het up. Yeah, Like was
6:08
Speaker 1: that something like? Because I remember when his ship started
6:11
Speaker 1: to kind of initially take off on SoundCloud and there
6:15
Speaker 1: was like a lot of mystery behind it. But you guys,
6:17
Speaker 1: being around him early on, did you guys kind of
6:19
Speaker 1: always feel like like he was a star. It was
6:22
Speaker 1: just a matter of time. He was just super focused,
6:24
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. When I first we first
6:26
Speaker 1: met Black, I remember him talking about like deals he
6:29
Speaker 1: got in and out of in high school. All like
6:30
Speaker 1: bro in high school. We definitely wasn't talking about no deals. Wow,
6:33
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, you know what I'm saying,
6:36
Speaker 1: he just had he had a different exposure to the
6:39
Speaker 1: game that we could that we all learned from. You
6:41
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I think part of his main
6:43
Speaker 1: speeld is so great was the longest time we all
6:46
Speaker 1: have learned stuff from each other. You know what I'm saying.
6:48
Speaker 1: We've all like taken little like humorous stuff from Jid
6:51
Speaker 1: or like you know what I'm saying, something like vocal
6:53
Speaker 1: cues that all lose, We've all learned it. I remember
6:56
Speaker 1: I learned from Black. Black used to he first was
6:59
Speaker 1: doing his melodies. He would have the mic super turned up,
7:02
Speaker 1: super high and be saying him very softly. So he
7:05
Speaker 1: would be sleeping in the living room and wake up
7:07
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night or make him in
7:08
Speaker 1: the middle of the day and just be recording. I'd
7:10
Speaker 1: be like, what he doing over there? I didn't know
7:11
Speaker 1: he was actually making stuff. And then he'll play it
7:13
Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, Wow, that's a cool technique. So
7:16
Speaker 1: he was always like picking up on each other techniques,
7:18
Speaker 1: Like the whole time he was like all living in
7:20
Speaker 1: the same house. That's an interesting recording technique. It's almost
7:22
Speaker 1: like you could kind of be like off off in
7:24
Speaker 1: the corner logo. That's what he's just turning up your
7:26
Speaker 1: levels like crazy, you have everything turned up on his end,
7:29
Speaker 1: and he was just being there wow. And then by
7:32
Speaker 1: the time he would play it for us, like he
7:34
Speaker 1: was like, yo, you just did that, Like while he's
7:36
Speaker 1: over here, like you guys, yeah, playing mad or whatever.
7:39
Speaker 1: We didn't even hear him doing that. We love that.
7:40
Speaker 1: He was like that's fine, Yeah, that's that's crazy, man.
7:43
Speaker 1: I do think like that. One of my favorite moments
7:46
Speaker 1: of last year was your Guys Tiny Desk Show. I
7:48
Speaker 1: thought that was like, yeah, I thought that was fucking special,
7:51
Speaker 1: especially like like A mile away. Oh really okay, yeah, man,
7:54
Speaker 1: that was I feel like those tiny desk shows are
7:57
Speaker 1: so important and when they're done right, they're like game
8:01
Speaker 1: changers because I think it really kind of shows like you.
8:05
Speaker 1: It's almost like it takes out any theatrics. It's like
8:07
Speaker 1: you and you got to be dope or you ain't dope,
8:10
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Colors did that for us too.
8:14
Speaker 1: I remember the Colors you guys did a couple years ago.
8:16
Speaker 1: Yeap when before him live it usually works with yeah,
8:19
Speaker 1: I was telling him I met you guys originally in Tampa.
8:23
Speaker 1: I don't remember what show it was, but it was
8:25
Speaker 1: before you guys were officially signed to Dreamville. I don't
8:28
Speaker 1: remember who who old did you guys open for? I
8:31
Speaker 1: think it was probably did you you guys never opened
8:36
Speaker 1: for Wale? Okay, okay, because I remember going to a
8:38
Speaker 1: wal a show, but yeah, it was. I remember meeting
8:40
Speaker 1: you guys like at the merch table, and you guys
8:43
Speaker 1: were so like and at that time, I think I
8:45
Speaker 1: had really just kind of heard your guys ship off
8:47
Speaker 1: like two dope boys and like all the blog ship
8:49
Speaker 1: and and I really hadn't even like dived in like
8:53
Speaker 1: like all the way yet. But you guys have put
8:57
Speaker 1: together like a really dope run over the last like
9:00
Speaker 1: five or six years, just quality music. And with this
9:05
Speaker 1: new record with Wila, I feel like it's kind of
9:08
Speaker 1: like the icing on the cake, you know what I'm saying, Like,
9:11
Speaker 1: like everything has worked to this point. You guys are
9:14

9:22

10:12
Speaker 1: a very common joke. It was now now, which we
10:14
Speaker 1: played on it more back then, but we we do.
10:16
Speaker 1: We do obviously care about an environment, but that wasn't
10:19
Speaker 1: like the focus name, you know what I'm saying, But
10:22

Speaker 1: the ideas done. The concept is beautiful, really excited. What
11:38
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta figure out whe everybody else is
11:40
Speaker 1: gonna go. Like casting wise, who was first to sign
11:43
Speaker 1: with Dreamville was it and I don't call him Jid
11:46
Speaker 1: because I called him Jid in person once and he
11:48
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know you like that, you gotta
11:51
Speaker 1: call it, But like, was it you guys? Are was
11:55
Speaker 1: a j I d first the same time? Okay when
11:59
Speaker 1: uh when when Cold Cold met us in person at
12:04
Speaker 1: the eppisode tour is at the New York date and
12:08
Speaker 1: uh we we actually were opening for for Soul and
12:12
Speaker 1: Jim Jeed at the time was he was my roommate.
12:16
Speaker 1: So I didn't want you know what I'm saying. We
12:17
Speaker 1: first got the offer from APPS so to go on tour.
12:19
Speaker 1: He was my roommate. That's like my boy and my brother.
12:21
Speaker 1: We made Hello songs together. I didn't want to do
12:23
Speaker 1: just earth Gang going into it without him and just
12:25
Speaker 1: leave him there. So he was like, hey, bro, come
12:27
Speaker 1: on tour with us. He so he we we split
12:29
Speaker 1: our set with him just some somethingdy bro, some brother ship. Bro.
12:33
Speaker 1: We're not gonna we finished you, you you know what I'm saying.
12:35
Speaker 1: We all without even like clearing it with the APPS.
12:37
Speaker 1: So like we got the homie coming, we put up
12:42
Speaker 1: with him and he was like, no, bro, we're gonna
12:43
Speaker 1: split this s like we're gonna get this shine. You're
12:45
Speaker 1: gonna get the shine. He did, and uh when when
12:48
Speaker 1: Cole met us, he was like, that was cool. Man,
12:50
Speaker 1: who's the other dude? Yo? That's all better did So
12:52
Speaker 1: he was like, man, all y'all coming, And so we
12:54
Speaker 1: all would literally pile up in the car together because
12:56
Speaker 1: I said it was roommates. So we get up in
12:58
Speaker 1: the car together and drive out in North Carolina together
13:00
Speaker 1: and we just all spend time with cold. He was like, man,
13:02
Speaker 1: so what's your situations looking like? And he was like,
13:05
Speaker 1: we ain't got no So he just sign us all
13:07
Speaker 1: around the same time. It just so happened. We had
13:10
Speaker 1: had never Storied already almost as soon as he got signed,
13:14
Speaker 1: so he was ready. Yeah, he put that out and
13:15
Speaker 1: then we put out the EPs and then our album. Yo.
13:19
Speaker 1: It's crazy because like, I feel like Cole has been
13:23
Speaker 1: so careful about who he brings on to the team,
13:26
Speaker 1: and there's so much artistic integrity on that roster, and
13:30
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like col could sign anybody like
13:33
Speaker 1: he could probably this point, you know, he literally go
13:35
Speaker 1: out and probably signed you know, any of the bubbling
13:38
Speaker 1: up and coming rappers like, but I feel like he
13:41
Speaker 1: cares so much about that the brand of Dreamville and
13:44
Speaker 1: like just the integrity the music that comes out of that.
13:47
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like he won't make he
13:49
Speaker 1: won't make foreign cars, man, he won't make exciting right
13:53
Speaker 1: and like some exotics would like you know that that
13:56
Speaker 1: we ain't cranking out right right right right talk about
14:00
Speaker 1: you know obviously, you know, you guys got the Grammy
14:02
Speaker 1: nomination for Revenge of the Dreamers three, which was, uh,
14:06
Speaker 1: you know, I told Ebe this, like, you know, the
14:09
Speaker 1: fact that he was able to craft such an amazing,
14:15
Speaker 1: amazingly sequenced body of work because he was you know,
14:18
Speaker 1: E was was was like letting me know about kind
14:21
Speaker 1: of how many songs he had to choose from, and
14:25
Speaker 1: then just the way they they flowed, and it was
14:28
Speaker 1: like it felt like I know, and I know all
14:30
Speaker 1: the sessions were scattered, but it really felt like everybody
14:33
Speaker 1: was kicking it in the studio together and y'all made
14:36
Speaker 1: like a cohesive body of work. Share with me some
14:40
Speaker 1: of your favorite moments about those sessions, because you know,
14:43
Speaker 1: we hear about how legendary they were. Everybody was getting
14:45
Speaker 1: flown out, Like, you know, I just always think back
14:48
Speaker 1: to how special of a moment that was to have
14:50

Speaker 1: whole like, since you guys have come out right, I
27:00
Speaker 1: think sonically there's some fair points to that, But I
27:03
Speaker 1: also feel, like, you know, I feel like you guys
27:07
Speaker 1: are influenced by so much more than cast. I think
27:09
Speaker 1: it was dope because I remember go ahead, of course.
27:14
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, man, I went to stink on
27:16
Speaker 1: you the outcast of my favorite group ever, Andre, my
27:19
Speaker 1: top three ever, Like when I went to Stink on You,
27:21
Speaker 1: and I was I was like, I was my twelve
27:25
Speaker 1: year old self would have seen me at the Outcast
27:27
Speaker 1: studio with all the plaques and then the artwork of
27:30
Speaker 1: like the naked girls from the CDs and ship like
27:33
Speaker 1: it was amazing. But like I'm I know, I told that, man,
27:36
Speaker 1: you can't even have artwork in the CD. Do you
27:40
Speaker 1: remember how fire their CDs? CD work you see, the
27:44
Speaker 1: art work used to be crazy. But I don't think
27:46
Speaker 1: anyone's ever had better CDs than Outcasts. They always had
27:50
Speaker 1: the naked girls on everywhere at a the at Aliens
27:54
Speaker 1: one was the best. The Stink on Your one with
27:59
Speaker 1: Crazy now at she was fine, that whole image, but
28:08
Speaker 1: the one was cast album musically, see a lot of
28:16
Speaker 1: people don't like this, but I say my favorite album
28:18
Speaker 1: by them is Think on You, just because I like
28:21
Speaker 1: some I like the hits, but I also like some
28:23
Speaker 1: of the experiments and stuff Gaoline dreams, I love politicians.
28:27
Speaker 1: You don't talk about that song the Stink Love beautiful
28:31
Speaker 1: like them? Yeah, but also I mean, I don't know
28:34

28:44
Speaker 1: one I ever heard. That was the first one that

Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. Of course, the one best
30:18
Speaker 1: album of the year, the grammar is Diamond. But they
30:22
Speaker 1: were kind of like it was two separate albums, like
30:24
Speaker 1: their peak was kind of like Andre solo album and
30:28
Speaker 1: then speaker Box that had some ship. But it was
30:30
Speaker 1: like to me, like I'm talking about like first like Yo,
30:36
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg was on Vibe. He had the murder case
30:38
Speaker 1: like he just came off the chronic Doggi style, like
30:44
Speaker 1: right there. Because fifty but okay album with the speak
30:48
Speaker 1: love below, even if you counted as one thing, it
30:50
Speaker 1: still was more about the music and about the art
30:52
Speaker 1: than anything else, which is a great way to peak, right,
30:55
Speaker 1: But it's about them, their characters story, like fifty just
30:59
Speaker 1: got shot down times. I remember telling me that in school,
31:02
Speaker 1: I was a little ky, like what happened to this nigga?
31:04
Speaker 1: Right times? The Lord the movie and he had a
31:09
Speaker 1: fucking video game that was Fire on Xbox. That's what
31:12
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But bunh, Yeah, it's to me it's ether
31:16
Speaker 1: fifty or Snoop. But but yeah, I think it's I
31:17
Speaker 1: think it's probably like if you were if I've had it,
31:19
Speaker 1: if you put a gun in my head, I would
31:20
Speaker 1: probably say fifty. I mean, you say to see m possibly,
31:25
Speaker 1: but you know they are impossible to see. It's m possible.
31:30
Speaker 1: Shout out to him though impossible. Now, we talked about
31:36
Speaker 1: your guys favorite cast albums, but just in general hip hop.

33:26

33:27

33:30

33:48
Speaker 1: it is It's funny because when we when we got

33:54
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I gotta play thirty Sprite too, and
33:57

Speaker 1: long season two be my last one. Okay, Yeah, who
34:10
Speaker 1: do you think? If you guys have to say who's
34:12
Speaker 1: more influential, thug or future Future Future, I'll say future
34:18
Speaker 1: just because a lot of niggs around the world try
34:19
Speaker 1: to be future. Niggas can't beat them so far, but
34:22
Speaker 1: niggas gonna try to be future. Niggas can't be future either,
34:25
Speaker 1: but they gonna try. Niggas will never try to wear
34:28
Speaker 1: dressed like that. People aren't brave enough to try to
34:31
Speaker 1: beat them. Yeah, Like the only people that have even
34:35
Speaker 1: come close come from his dojo. You know what I'm saying.
34:37
Speaker 1: You got like he got it, Yeah, like gunning all
34:40
Speaker 1: them niggas even a little bit. They come from the world.
34:42
Speaker 1: So it's like they come close and they still do
34:44
Speaker 1: their own thing, you know what I'm saying. But it's
34:46
Speaker 1: like nobody from outside of Atlanta has tried that. People
34:49
Speaker 1: from outside of Atlanta have tried to be Future. You
34:51
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, designer the whole thing I ain't saying,
34:53
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, nothing wrong with what he did,
34:54
Speaker 1: but no, no no, but he sounded. I mean, let's be honest,
34:56
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Future influenced, Like you can't do
34:58
Speaker 1: not influence my dog, Like say what you about you
35:00
Speaker 1: writing a song, but like you can't not influence. Yeah,
35:02
Speaker 1: and then not even in his own fault because if
35:04
Speaker 1: you talk to him like that's just his voice, that's yeah,
35:08
Speaker 1: but you can influence of like the style of everyone
35:11
Speaker 1: talked and it was Futures Record. When it first came out,
35:14
Speaker 1: it was like this new Future is crazy, but it's
35:17
Speaker 1: not Future from New York, New York. Yeah, I think
35:22
Speaker 1: I think Future kind of kind of you know, with
35:25
Speaker 1: just making like melodies first. You know, obviously you can
35:31
Speaker 1: go back to you know, obviously Drake, you know, was
35:34
Speaker 1: so far gone. But I feel I feel like what
35:36
Speaker 1: Future did with melodies and hip hop, it's just his
35:40
Speaker 1: His fingerprints are all over everything right now, like everybody
35:44
Speaker 1: like Roddy Rich, like post Malone like all these people
35:47
Speaker 1: who are like the biggest rappers in the world, Like
35:49
Speaker 1: you gottattribute the future, bro, and he just had more
35:52
Speaker 1: time in the game too. We want to go the
35:53
Speaker 1: future up. You just got to give it to him
35:55
Speaker 1: from seniority. This guy's got a Dungeon Family tattoo on
35:58
Speaker 1: his forearms. Man, you got a little more time again.
36:02
Speaker 1: I remember listening to future records on like on like
36:04
Speaker 1: mistakes and like lind Wade type ship in like eighth
36:07
Speaker 1: and ninth grade, like he was called he was going
36:09
Speaker 1: to buy meat back then, you know what I'm saying.
36:11
Speaker 1: It was a song he be on like he's being
36:13
Speaker 1: like them like passically he'd be like a whole bunch
36:15
Speaker 1: of need from the hood on the song. And then
36:16
Speaker 1: he had like a verse you know what I'm saying,
36:17
Speaker 1: that ship too, and then like he like rolls out
36:19
Speaker 1: of there. So we we've been around to see that
36:20
Speaker 1: nigga be like a lot of things, you know what
36:22
Speaker 1: I'm saying. What do you feel like the camaraderie is
36:24
Speaker 1: like in Atlanta, because you know, from an outsider perspective,
36:29
Speaker 1: from being like you know from the West Coast, you know,
36:31
Speaker 1: we always look at Atlanta as like the example of
36:35
Speaker 1: uh like networking, there's so much unity and and now
36:39
Speaker 1: mind you, I also realized that there's a lot of
36:41
Speaker 1: beef and shipped out here. But for the most part,
36:45
Speaker 1: unity will come when more people connect. Yeah, but I
36:47
Speaker 1: feel like just in general, the perspective of Atlanta is
36:50
Speaker 1: like there is some real unity out there in Atlanta, man,
36:54
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, as long as Atlanta win,
36:56
Speaker 1: Like you seen Gucci and Jesus Bro, Like who I
37:00
Speaker 1: was gonna do that? Name another beef on the coach,
37:03
Speaker 1: niggasin to come together and do that. Who else don't
37:05
Speaker 1: do that? You know what I'm saying. On I g
37:08
Speaker 1: live fifty would never do that. I don't really know
37:11
Speaker 1: enough about the beef, but I know that down here, man,
37:15
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But they really at the
37:16
Speaker 1: end of the day, they came together as man and
37:18
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, for the sake of Atlanta,
37:20
Speaker 1: for the sake of unity, for the sake of seeing
37:22
Speaker 1: everybody prosperably, gonna squash it Like that's Atlanta, man, keep both.
37:26
Speaker 1: We was talking about future, the influence Gucci really was
37:28
Speaker 1: father above that situation. Well, I think Gucci don't get enough.
37:32
Speaker 1: I think he's probably the greatest godfather. He might be, yes, yes, ever,
37:37
Speaker 1: I think Gucci is probably the greatest an hip hop
37:39
Speaker 1: history on this planet for sure. Think about all the
37:42
Speaker 1: people he could have signed, Like he could have had
37:45
Speaker 1: the Migos, you know what I mean, Like all these
37:48
Speaker 1: people who could have been his artist, and they still
37:51
Speaker 1: come from his dojo, you know what I'm saying. Surest
37:54
Speaker 1: Martial arts so like that ship, that Gucci one and
37:57
Speaker 1: like that, he's just like a perfect example of what
37:59
Speaker 1: Atlanta is. Like you gotta always be looking at for
38:01
Speaker 1: your young nigga and and pulling them in a direction
38:04
Speaker 1: to get some money for theirself, you know what I'm saying,
38:06
Speaker 1: Like not just not just trying to satisfy you know
38:08
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, It's like, look, do what I did,
38:10
Speaker 1: do what you could do, and always looking for somebody
38:12
Speaker 1: else like that? Is there a big Do you feel
38:14
Speaker 1: like there's a disconnect from like the younger generation of
38:17
Speaker 1: Atlanta hip hop and like you know, there's that clip
38:19
Speaker 1: of of young Thug talking about Andre. Do you think
38:24
Speaker 1: there's like a like a disconnect between the older generation
38:29
Speaker 1: and then and then the generation that's coming up now. Now.
38:31
Speaker 1: I just feel like we're just so focused on paving
38:34
Speaker 1: our own way, you know what I'm saying, even like
38:36
Speaker 1: they was back then. Of course, everybody back then was like, man, hey,
38:40
Speaker 1: this this is the first time Atlanta is being all
38:43
Speaker 1: all that. We're paving our way from from from Dungeon
38:46
Speaker 1: Family to TLC to Jermaine dupri You know what, I'm
38:49
Speaker 1: so so deaf like it was it was it was
38:51
Speaker 1: aris Arista and the Face like that was like the
38:54
Speaker 1: first major record label. So they paving their way. Come
38:57
Speaker 1: to odd generation. You know what I'm saying. You got QC,
39:00
Speaker 1: you got Slack, you got the Slim Boys, you got
39:02
Speaker 1: Gucci and everything that he doing. You know what I'm saying,
39:04
Speaker 1: Like we're paving our weight, you know what I'm saying.
39:07
Speaker 1: So it's like I don't think it's so much a disrespect,
39:10
Speaker 1: but it's just like we just focused and we appreciate
39:13
Speaker 1: what they did. But number one, we focused and we trailblazing.

Speaker 1: live around from me in La, I would literally be
42:25
Speaker 1: the day Yo. Let me ask you guys this because
42:27
Speaker 1: with some of your guys is are working visuals and
42:28
Speaker 1: ship very very trippy ship. Do you guys partake in
42:32
Speaker 1: any any cycle psychedelics at all? We definitely have in life. Yeah,
42:36
Speaker 1: think about this, man, you know what I'm saying. You
42:38
Speaker 1: ever seen my manager brought up today this video we
42:40
Speaker 1: did a long time ago called sixteen Binos in the Sweat.
42:43
Speaker 1: He was doing like psychedelics in the desert in that video,
42:46
Speaker 1: so so years ago. Mushrooms. You guys ever suck with DMT?
42:51
Speaker 1: Never did d MT. I never did DMT because it
42:54
Speaker 1: looked like cracking number one and then you got a
42:57
Speaker 1: free base it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, look
42:59
Speaker 1: like crack. And then they be saying it's like the
43:01
Speaker 1: feeling you get when you're born and you die, and
43:03
Speaker 1: I feel like that's special. So I'm just letting you know.
43:06
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy. Mike Tyson does it like once
43:08
Speaker 1: a month. I know a lot of people that do
43:10
Speaker 1: it too much, but they all burned out, like also
43:12
Speaker 1: cannot if you can give it, come to it. So
43:15
Speaker 1: that's cool. Yeah, I've been That's that's the one thing
43:17
Speaker 1: that I haven't tried it, Like I just want to
43:19
Speaker 1: try Nah, only mushrooms, and he's pretty fun. It's very
43:24
Speaker 1: clean feeling too. You just be like And then the
43:26
Speaker 1: other thing people do is like I got a homie
43:28
Speaker 1: that will go out to like he goes to Costa
43:30
Speaker 1: Rica and he does iwashed it like Sharman, Like that's
43:33
Speaker 1: like some powerful that's like yeah he says that version. Yeah,
43:36
Speaker 1: he's like I did thirty years of therapy and the
43:39
Speaker 1: whole in two days. I believe that. Damn. He was, like,
43:42
Speaker 1: I might get a little He did that ship and
43:45
Speaker 1: this guy his wife, my man was he smoked cigarettes
43:50
Speaker 1: his whole life. He had a cocaine problem. He was
43:53
Speaker 1: a horrible gambler. Just got just my guy had a
43:55
Speaker 1: lot of vices. He did that ship. Hasn't touched a drug,
43:58
Speaker 1: a cigarette, nothing since I did it all. It's crazy.
44:02
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, I think. I think, like I think
44:04
Speaker 1: the one thing that psychedelics do is just kind of
44:06
Speaker 1: expand your mind to what's already there. Like what if
44:08
Speaker 1: you if you're on that side of not touching drugs
44:11
Speaker 1: and you do it, you probably go to the other
44:12
Speaker 1: side of like cocaine and cigarettes and stuff. I want
44:17
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that Nope, this weed for me, man,
44:22
Speaker 1: join every now and then. Yeah, I think I think
44:25
Speaker 1: that it's just to kind of expand your mind to
44:27
Speaker 1: what's already there that we just just you know what
44:29
Speaker 1: I mean. I do feel like there's there's there's there
44:31
Speaker 1: is stuff that we don't see. That is the president.
44:35
Speaker 1: I think this alien ships about to pop off to
44:37
Speaker 1: keep it a buck. If I was an alien and
