• 2:19
  Speaker 5: and one of the greatest hip hop albums?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: What does it feel like mentally to have to revisit
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that era?
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: To be honest with you, it feels like that album
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: was supposed to happen, uh, and even twenty years later,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: just the the obstacles that I had to go through to,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: you know, get this tour going and everything, it just
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: feels like deja vu. But the but the consequences are
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: not dire. They just real life things and you got
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to show your adversity. And it feels like I was
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: just talking to somebody about the other day. It's just like, now,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Soul Survivor really resonates with me. It makes sense, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Because I'm a soul surviving and
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I'm listening to the word. I'm like, oh, this is me,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: this is who I am. You know when I wrote it,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: it was a record. Now this is my life and
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: it's just like to be twenty because you got to think,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: like you think about Park and Big you know, what
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: would they what would they have done twenty years in
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Celebrating all eyes on me life after death twenty years later.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. Park might have been DJ
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in his basement.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know what I'm saying, but I'm living life
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and I'm going through you know, one of those stages
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: where you know, you get to watch the game line
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: wash the streets. You know what I'm saying. I'm in
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: this world, but I'm not of it, you know what
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. So I get to watch it. But at
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the same time, I already put my work in so
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I get to sit back. But I'm dealing with real
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: stuff now, running companies and doing deals and and you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: empowering other people. So it's now I got to really
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: practice my skills of leadership, but with my catalog behind me,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: because I can stand on that because it's solid you
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So I'm not you know what,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I'm frank badly amazed. I could keep going if I
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: wanted to, but.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I got to.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: You have survivors remorse at all because I used to.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You have so many people that you ran in. Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I used to. But everybody know me, they know what
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm solid. You know what I'm saying.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, my life is about peace,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: join freedom, and I ain't e I'm saying that to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: say a lot of people don't.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Survive the war. Baby, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: It's like I ain't got no reason to go back
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and then to approve you know what I'm saying. I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: just trying to live my life, make sure my people straight,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you know, put me into people as I could put
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: on and keep you know, just you know, just inspiring
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: and involving my culture, which is why I'm even doing
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: this symphony tour, which is crazy because I think I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: the first one to ever take a symphony around the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: world to do a tour. You know what I mean
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: to celebrate, you know, my first debut album, which is
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: about three four times platinum.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I ain't checked last.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Time, but I can't motivation on one.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's crazy because it's like, you know, the
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: only time I remember putting on the suit is for
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: a funeral or wedding. It's a celebration and it's not
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: just about it's not just about you know, the music,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: It's about everybody who came along with his journey with me.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That will celebrate.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Think about where you was twenty years ago, you know
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Where you were twenty years ago, where
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: y'all at now, it's a celebration of that because that
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: music reminds you of that time you was out there grinding.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: But look what you grind it too.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: So this is a reason for everybody put on a
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: suit in a nice black dress and come out and celebrate.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And I do want to say this, this is not
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: this is not the opera.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: You're not gonna sit down and cross your legs. This
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: is a party, you know what I'm saying. At the
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: same time, you know, shout out to Adam Blackstone. You know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: he helped me produce it. De Hodges, he wrote the music.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: He's actually conducting it. Those brothers are crazy about DJ
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: drama with me, So you know, it's a part that
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: got dj A's with me.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: It's a celebration saying.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: When you were making this album twenty years ago, right,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: were you just making songs or were you thinking the future?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Were you thinking because you look at a lot of
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: people in the industry and the catalog is not strong,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: right that first album, the catalog's not strong.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They can't go on tour.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Were you thinking about that when you're writing this first
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: album or was it just I'm just trying to get
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: out the hood.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just I was.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Just trying to stay alive and free, and I just
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: wanted to be heard. And the reason why that album
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: is so solid is because I put everything in that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: You know, I didn't have another shot, you know what
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. It wasn't like no label was looking for me.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I had spent all these
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: all these all this money to build this buzz and
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I had this one opportunity. And you gotta think, like
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I lost my voice, I tore my vocal cords, you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I had Bell's part. Like all these things happened at
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: one time, and I'm just like I was humbled and
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the album got leaked four weeks before it came out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Think about that. I was up against all that and
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: I'm still like praying, you know what I'm saying, And
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: it happened. So when I look back twenty years ago,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: like I didn't realize what I was doing, but I
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: know to change the dejectory of my family and our
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: generation of wealth and getting my family in a better
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: place that this is all I had, you know what
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. So I put everything in that trappa dye
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: in this.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Everything, by the way, I probably you know it was
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: riding around. You're still getting.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It right, statute of limitations or put that out there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting what you said about the record
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: sol survivor, because at that point in your life you
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: had survived to a certain extent, but you didn't you
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: didn't feel that way.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: No, I mean you got to think about it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I didn't really even start celebrating life until the recession.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, I was.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I was out of it, bro I was drinking, smoking, living.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I'm just holding on, you know what I'm saying, because
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't know then I woke up one day It's like, damn,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I'm still free, you know.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You know, at any moment it could go yeah, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: ain't nothing like that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: That's some type of stress you don't even want, you
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, because it's just it's every day,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: it never stops, and you're always on edge. You're living
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: from uh you know, you're living from a survival mindset,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: you know I'm saying. And you know when I woke
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: up on that day when I started to work on
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the Recession, That's when I realized what abundance was.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I'm saying because now I'm like, I'm a superstar. You know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I was telling them the other day. Man, I got
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: in the gym, got myself together. My first show in
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Boston for the Recession tour. You know, I get the
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: stage and I'm telling the security guard, Hey, yo, they
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: throwing stuff at me. We got to get out here
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: and get down. He's like, sir, No, their panties like this.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, object.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Bros and stuff.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, Yo, this is this is different because
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: you got to think when I was doing shows, when
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Doug Motivation came out, all the gangsters in the front.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, all the all the hustlers.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: It wasn't no women. I didn't have any women fans.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: You know, shout out to the women fans out there,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I didn't have that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: So when you put that record, the record with Tree
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: songs on the album, that was I'm trying to tell you, Jesus,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: you got to make something for the lead.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: That was me trying to do a record with Trey.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. You ever
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: hung out with Trigger Drey? Yes? Yeah, it makes you
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: want to do records like this. I need that. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: need that about life, you know what I'm saying.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Emotionally? Do you ever get triggered when you're on stage
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: performing some of those records though?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, especially like lately, because I'm so seasoned
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: with it that, you know, everything is like a sermon
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: to me.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I don't take dislikely and I don't I'm in a
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: space where i'm I'm I'm you know, I'm definitely I'm
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: blessed and I'm grateful to still have people that understand
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: what my mission is because it's my purpose, it's who
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I am. Like, you know, a lot of people do
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: this because it has money or some type of uh
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: you know, some some type of something behind it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But this is who I am every day, Like this
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: is my life.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Like when I walk out of here and I go
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: walk downstairs and I see somebody, they ain't talking about
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: the song. They talking about me, like we like, I
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: keep doing what you're doing because we live in through you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: So for me, it's just like some of those songs,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: especially like twenty years later to see it, because I'm
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: gonna be honest, like Soul.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Survivor hits so different.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: It hits so different, like because back then it was
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: a great song, you know, shout out to kids. Stewart,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: you know, Recipeace he made me put that on the album.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. But my whole thing was
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: like I want to go trap or die, you know.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And imagine if I would have listened to that myself
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and stayed on that trajectory.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And then where is that now?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Because when I'm doing this Soul Surviving arenas and I'm
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: looking at these kids, I'm looking at these people, I'm
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: like I want to do they realize like this is
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: who I am, you know what I'm saying, and this
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: is me living my dream being on the stage and
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: I'm still getting standing ovations twenty years later, you know
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So I don't know nobody else that
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: can say that they're soul survivor and mean it like that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that record means a lot to me. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: even Trapper died, you know what I'm saying. It's just
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: like that's real. You know what I'm saying.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But you're not sitting on the block with your thank
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: God no more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Nah. But we'll talk about that offline.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: But I was gonna ask, does the street mentality actually leave?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Right? So if you see I.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Mean, and you've been around Jay and you're seeing his
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: evolution of being always looking over his shoulder to now
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: when I see him walking in the buildings, it's like free,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: And when I see fifty more, yeah, he feels more free.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that way?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like there's always I mean, but I still got
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: it because I'm not exempt, but I understand what it is.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: But you know, I carry myself with a level of integrity.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: So it's just like, as long as I feel like
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: it's mutual respect, I don't feel like the need to
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: even have to watch the room. But I will tell
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: you this, I've been on a journey for about like
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: almost eight nine years now, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: But I can tell you at this point of my life,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: like I'm really at peace, Like I don't worry about
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the things that I can't control, and that is including people,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So for me, it's just
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: like I don't you know, everybody know me. I float
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: around my with any city.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: What got you there? Because it took you a long
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: time to get there? What got you there?
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Work therapy, therapy, work, h journal and meditating all that,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not even gonna
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: hold you like it's real. And when you wake up
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: and you start to realize like okay, and you can
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: emotionally regulate and you and you know who you are,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: you have nothing to prove. There's no better feeling, you
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, because I don't got to prove anything.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And by the way you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Can see, you can tell because people are attracted to
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: that because they can tell that that's how you feel.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Piece attracts peace, Chaos attracts chaos anyway around that. You
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. If you if you got nervous energy,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: you're gonna tract nervous people. I ain't invite no nervous
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: people to my house. Watch me, DJ.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: You know that, yep.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I want to go back. You mentioned j Z.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Do you remember the moment when jay Z told you
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: that album was a classic? I remember reading that and
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: maybe double.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He said to me.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: He said to me, you got a brand. He texts me.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: He was like, you got a brand. And I didn't
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: know what that meant at first, but you know, twenty
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: years later, I can see that what he meant, like
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: you actually stand for something and people understand what that is. Right,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: So it's almost like your bread could be anything. But
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: my brain has always been motivation, you know what I'm saying.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: But if you coming out with your first album, it's
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: hard to tell people you're motivating people.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But twenty years later, that's what it is.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I'm still doing what I know how to do best,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: and that's what he was trying to get me to see.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Like stay there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Because you know, music was changing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: You know, we all want to be hot, but it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: like when you when you when you're on fire in
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: the inside, you don't need to be on fireside. You
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I ain't got to chase nothing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: But then I would have you know what I'm saying.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: You know, like you know it was snap music, it
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: was crunk music. I had to figure it out. You know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I'm rapping it and I'm making songs that are the Temple,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: you know, seventy two. You know, you think about knock
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: if you buck. You know that was up there. So
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I'm in the club competing with that, thinking, man, maybe
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I should, you know. But he was more saying like
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: stay there, you're good.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but didn't he tell you that that album was
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: a classic?
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah he did. He did. He hit me up.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: He was just like yo, I think when he heard
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: it for the first time because I played it for him,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And yeah, he definitely told me.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: He was like, Yo, this this one here gonna live
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: with you. And you know me, I was already on
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: to the next one. I was like, what I'm to
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: do for the next album, because you know how it
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: is you living from you know, you're living from that
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: place survivor.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You're like, man, if.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: This worked, I gotta be ready to go in because
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: that's a lot of pressure, you know what I'm saying.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that helped me when he told
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: me it was a classic, because you know, back then,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you know, I was a little wild, So that got
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: to you know that that definitely, uh, you know, made
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: my head a little bigger.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: So that definitely, you know, like that to my ego.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Did you ask him to get on Dope Boy Go Crazy? Yes?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I remember playing it. So first of all, that
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: record was a record that I heard when I was
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: over somebody else's trap house and they was playing this
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Tip mixtape. I think it was Down with the King
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: and I was just over there and I was kicking
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: and it was playing it. They asked me that I
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: hear it, and I heard that I heard him rapping
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: over to Go Crazy, and I'm like damn, I said,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: who made the beat?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: There was like Don Cannon. So I left and I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: called Don Cannon.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I was like, yo, I need a beat like that,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: and then he said why not use that beat? And
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I said, okay, what you mean and he said tipped
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: And by the beat he just rapped over. I was like,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: bet where you at and pull up on you. Now
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying right now? I got the
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I got the record. I had a meeting in Death Jam,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: so I flew in. Me and coach k flew into
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: UH to New York.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: That morning. He picked me up from the studio. We
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: flew in.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: We flew back that same night. On the way back,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I wrote go crazy on the plane. You know what
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I'm saying flying back to Atlanta. Recorded that night, I
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: had three verses. Death Jam came about two weeks later,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: and it was all in pass works and I played
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: the whole album and when I got to that song,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: it was all clapping when it was done, and I
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: was like, Yo, by the way, I'm putting jay Z
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: on the song. I said, y'all need to work that out.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: To La read that, yeah, speak of the existence. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: one day for the BT Awards, I was out in
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: LA and who called me to his hotel.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, come by to come by the hotel.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: So we sit upstairs and this suite outside on the patio,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: smoking cigars, just talking because we never talked about music.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: We always talk about life. And then he was like, uh,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: what verse You're gonna take off? And I was like,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: we mean and then he was talking about go Craze.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I had three verses and then he said, uh, I'm
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: doing it, by.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: The way, and I was like, take it. You can
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: take them all off. That's what you want to do.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I still on the hook, and I remember I never
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: forget it. We was at kDa in New York. I mean,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry in LA and Coach K walk in like
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: we're doing an interview like this. Coach K walk in.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: He was like I got it, and I'm like what
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: He's like? I got the jay Z versus me a interview.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I told the guy, I think it's Julio. I said, Julio,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: you got We stopped the interview. I got hold up
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: and I go outside and I told him to come
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: in the hallway. Coach played press play and I heard that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Verse more than a hustle on the Death Kitchen cover.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I was happy at first, but then I started thinking.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: That it's okay records.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Ever, yeah I was.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I was. I was like, damn, okay, how did this work?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You know? I think I got him back on seeing
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it all though, I think so yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Motivation one on one.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Is there a record that didn't make the album because
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: of clearance or for whatever reason that you said, Damn,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I wish that one made that album.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a bunch of like mixtape stuff that
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: didn't make it. And the thing about it is like
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: the album really got pressured out. You know what I'm saying.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Because one of the interns who was up there, who
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: was trying to get his beats on the album, we'll
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: get a beat on the album. You know, I never
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: did anything on his records, and I left my drives
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: at Patchworks, So I guess he got mad and leaked
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: the album four weeks before it came out. So now
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Bell's palsy, uh my vocal cords. All these things happening
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: at once, and now the album's leaked. So now I'm
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: sitting there and I'm like, what am I gonna do?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Because now I got to think of the next plan.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: So I can't go back to the streets. You know
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Because now I'm like, damn, like this
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: is it, And I'll never forget I went to pass Works.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: You know, I caught a lawsuit. I'll say that, you
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Because I had.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: To bring the books.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Read right and and uh, you know, actually it helped me,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So you know what they say,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: no no weapon, you know, form against me, so possible
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: help me because it went to all the bootlegs and
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: it spread it everywhere. And the thing that I had
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: the most anxiety about out of every thing was I
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: had to pick a single right. And on mixtapes they
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: try to put that they pick it for you. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: by the time he leaked it and it was already going,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what I was going with. And I
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: was still pushing trapa Dye the song, and the label
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: called me and Secure called me. He's like yo, He's like, yeah,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: you can shoot trapa Dive. That's what you want to do.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: We're shooting Soul survivor how do you want to shoot
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: the video. Came to Brooklyn, shot the video. Everybody showed up, Hold,
• 19:13

  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: It was It was festive and the video you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: we did it like paid him full. It was crazy.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: It was probably one of the most memorable moments in
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: my career. You know what I'm saying, Because you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: you always heard stories about Brooklyn, like, ain't nobody come
• 19:31

  Speaker 4: A lot of guys from Atlanta came in like it was,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: it was, it was it And when the video came out,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: it was gone. And I didn't And I told I
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: was telling somebody that I knew Akon from being around
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: the way because it was like him and Boo.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell him apart, right, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: So I didn't realize he was that big overseas and
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I didn't. And then this was the first collaboration that
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I've ever done, so I didn't realize doing a record
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: with somebody that you can actually tap into their fan
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: base too, on a national level or a global level, right,
• 20:11

• 22:39
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like I love it, like
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: you just talk about I came up here independently. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: just call like I'm coming to the breakfast club. You
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Like I ain't got a check in,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: I ain't gotta you know, I ain't got to talk
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: to no label. I ain't got to do nothing to
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: shout out to death jam. I love y'all. But it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: just like freedom and ownership is is everything. You know
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Especially when you're talking art, you're talking culture,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: talk to your mind. You know what I'm saying, Like
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I've worked hard my whole life. This is like this,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: this is the season of me. You know what I'm saying.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I'm putting myself first. It all costs, you know what
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. It's just like my piece is everything. Like
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: everybody didn't know me. Know that, you know what I'm saying.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: They calm and be like, yeah, bro, Like I love you,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: but don't call me even nothing crazy.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I want to ask you know, how was that because
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: you're very private, very private person, but that was so
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: public did not irk you at all, like everybody in
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: your business talking about you.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I had to come to the realization that I
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: know who I am and that nobody else can't tell
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: me different. So as long as I stayed on the
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: path of integrity and staying true to myself, it wasn't
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: nothing really to worry about because anybody didn't know me,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Like I mean, I even heard y'all was up here, like, no,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: I know, I know Jezu you know that. But that's
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: that's because my reputation exceeds me. I'm like, I ain't
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: on I ain't on nothing, you know what I'm saying.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: That's I need to be you know what I'm saying.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm not.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: So it's just like it comes with the territory, you
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, he who wears the crown. It's
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: just like, you know, people talked about Jesus, you know
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, They're gonna talk about everybody.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Everybody's not gonna like you.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Now, if I'm a good person to you and you
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: don't like me, then there's a problem. But if you
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: don't like me because of what you heard or what
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: you think, then I ain't none of my spiritual business.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I can't do nothing about that, you know what I'm saying.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I can't even convince you because your mind has made up. However,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: if you know me and we had some type of
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: interaction and action, I haven't done anything wrong to you,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: then that says more about you than me, because now
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you judge and now you judge me. There's no judgment
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: here because I'm not perfect by far. But if I
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: haven't done anything to you, then you can't take that
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: position because you know, the people around me got real
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: love for me and my friends in my circle, like
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: I never felt any type of just but the people
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: who wasn't for me of course, and that I mean
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: that did me a solid. Now I ain't got to
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: even worry about cutting you off.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, would get married again? Hit
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: me up. I'm gonna be all the way on it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I love my freedom and it has nothing to do
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and has nothing to do with anything in the past.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: I just love my freedom, you know what I'm saying,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Like I love it, you know I think like partners
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: are amazing, you know, I would think.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: So, how did you feel when the Internet said you
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: were you were trying to holler at me along by
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: any means necessarily.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: It wasn't lying, It was not lying. I don't know,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: but I was real. Men, I never cheated like that. No,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: I don't cheat me like that. I'm saying, like, that's
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: a little hanging fruit. If I'm not, I'm like, then
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: we got to be married. Like, I'm just not a cheater.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: That's like, I'm not gonna cheat my friends, you know
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Not I'm not. That ain't in my blood.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: But but but you said I was trying to holler. Yeah,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: I was, you know, but I had to be respectful
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: because I was still you know, finalizing, you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So it was hard. It was tough saying focus.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: They don't link it with everybody. They don't link you everybody, Vanity.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: The other day, when you did that, they.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Would do that. They would do.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: We love Cynthia. Man shout out to Cynthia. That's a home.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. No, No, now the other one.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just said on that real quick on.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: The other one.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely everything is filized. Park Leta hit the Park.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna play about that.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: So you said you might see her at some of
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: these shows.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, listen, she's invited. I know she has a
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: beautiful black dress. He's definitely invited.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: I do want to know what what inspired you to
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: reimagine the album in this way though, because I'm sitting
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I'm like your symphony orchestra, black tie, twist.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Your fingers up back.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Man. But when we did it with the we did
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: it in Atlanta was the first one.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: There's no feeling like that because there was a lot
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: of people that I saw and by the way, I've
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: been trying to do this.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: For you know, at least five years.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: But it was like so many people that I saw
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: in the crowd that I knew personally that I was
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: just proud of where they was at because they're successful
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: this and that, but they don't want to come to
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: a show where they feel I want to bring my
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: woman out, I want to get you. I want to
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: go to dinner before and hit the spot after. This
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: is a celebration. This isn't a show or a concert.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: This is a one night you know, one man, one
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: mic thing, and it's just like, why not celebrate the
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: evolution of it? And also I would like to add
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: that I feel like it's my moral obligation because I
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: was the one that told these kids that trapa down.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's my moral obligation to show them
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: evolution in this and that you don't have to change
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: to evolve, you know what I'm saying. It's like, if
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you make art, it should grow with you, right, it shouldn't.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: You shouldn't have to be a different person, because I
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: think that's why they run into the roadblocks. It's just
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: like I gotta be thug forever, you know what I'm saying.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: And that's if that's how you feel, that's how you feel.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: I ain't gonna gotta be on the block with my
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Like now I'm in the boardrooms,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: right and that's okay. And my thing is my is
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: my mind because I know I'm a lot of water
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: dos and I don't been through enough to know that
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: if the press is on, I'm not worried about losing
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: my job. They may be I'm gonna make sound decisions
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: because I've been through it before, so that's my gift.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: But for the.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Culture, it hurts me to know these young men and
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: to see them in these situations. I care bro Like,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I don't care what nobody These are my These are
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: like my little brothers, and I know I can't change them, right,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: so I can't judge them. The only thing I could
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: do is what I saw, like hold them do for me.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Just leave by example, you know what I mean, Just
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: do your thing and just leave the door open or
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: the back door at least, because it's not easy, like
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: to even get to this point and all the turmoil
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: and those that got closed on me just to even
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: do this this project, you know what I'm saying. I
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: had to really really realize, like, okay, you still you
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: So you gotta really, you know, do this the right
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: way and it's on your own. But you gotta realize
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: they ain't gonna let just let you in this.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Door like that.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: But so I got to make sure I leave the
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: door open for the kids. It's coming up with the
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: generation behind it because if you really look at it,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: when Trappa Daye dropped up motivation all this, if you've
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: seen the influx of street cats, that got into music
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: because there was like man, I saw Jesus, I know
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: people that he actually was affiliated with, got down with
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: whatever cities he'd been to, whatever, So I know, if
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: he can do it, I can do it. The only
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: problem is the rules are different because ain't nobody, ain't
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: no big homies, so it's like the wild, wild West,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. It's probably why I'm listening
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: to the house music these days, you know what I'm saying,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: because it's like I love the music, but it's a
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: different vibration, so I don't need that all day. I
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: can listen to it in the gym, right, but I'm
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: not gonna listen to it, you know when I get
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: up in the morning to go do what I gotta do,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: because I want to keep it, you know. But at
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: the same time, I feel like it's my more gason,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: like in my heart, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: that's my purpose to inspire and to help culture evolve,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Like that's that's my purpose.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Do you have conversations with the younger artists? And the
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: reason I ask is yeah, it's like you said, you know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: we talk about it all the time. We did a
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: lot of super stuff back then, but there was none
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: of this. There was no internet, right, They weren't telling
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: on themselves. But now it just seems like it's the
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: cool thing to tell everybody what you did, hate it
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: illegal or not, which is the wow.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Crazy because there's no integrity and there's nobody to follow,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: which is why I don't do a lot of interviews.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I come talk to y'all.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: We don't kick it, but I don't got nothing to
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: say to somebody who's looking for ignorance. For me, you
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, I'm not. I'm still operating by
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: the cold. You know what I'm saying. These people are
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: moving the goalposts. I don't like that. I don't want
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: to play in that game. You know what I'm saying.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Every time it's something different. Why is it something different
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: for them or not me, you know what I'm saying,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: or us? So for me, I feel for them because
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: they don't got nobody to follow, you know what I'm saying.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: And there's nothing like giving somebody this because you got
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: to think about it. One got the type of money
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: he got, but he ain't get Lebron money for playing.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: So they're giving them a different type of money, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: they're using the money. They still got trauma, they still
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: got things going on that's so important to them that
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: they feel like they got to deal with. But now
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: you're giving them money to few the war.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: I seen this kid on TikTok A Couples. Remember I
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: showing you that video. The dude was literally in his
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: room crying to his girlfriend because his object came up
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: on some money, right, and the way he was serious,
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: he was like, man like, man, they're gonna have all
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: the type of choppers and switching you ain't fair.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, first of all, while you're recording this one.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: He's probably trying to get a safe haven.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: You know who it is.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I don't respect it. You know.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I said I wasn't gonna talk about it when I
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: came up here because I feel like, ain't none of
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: my spiritual business. But as somebody who's been in the game,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: a part of the game and in this world or
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: not of it, I just don't respect it. Ain't no integrity.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Like everybody getting up here, they talking too much. They're
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: saying too many things, and that's okay. Then the next
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: generation gonna do the same thing and even worse, it
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: even worse. And I'm only concerned about the culture because
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: at some point, when nobody respects it no more, they're
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: not going to respect the art form.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It don't even matter what you say. It'll be like
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: we'll be obsolete.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Cause at nothing ain't no
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: there ain't no integrity behind what we're doing or saying,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: because we're doing anything, and it looks like we're doing
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: anything for money, right, and I don't like that because
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything for money.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: I probably turned down more than I accept because it
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: got to be in line with my purpose.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And that's just me. I'm not asking nobody else to
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: be that way.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: But when you speak of a culture, you can see
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: why people kind of stay away from it because they're
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: kind of like, I don't know if I want to
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: be affiliated with that, you know what I'm saying, because
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't, you know, And if all my
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: kids are going to think is that you know that
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I was an artist, and that's it. I'm a father first,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I'm a man first, you know what I'm saying. I'm
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: a CEO first. You know what I'm saying, I'm a
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: big brother first. You know what I'm saying, I'm all
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: the things. I'm a son, you know. So we can't
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: just get categorized and boxed into what we are as
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: far as coach and go live that out, because then
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: if something happened to your kids, are the ones that suffering.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: You know, ain't nothing like having a daddy that was
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: rich and now we ain't got nothing because he made
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: a decision for what he thought was right.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: They had nothing to do with anybody. And you asked
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: me earlier.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: And I ain't calling no names because I ain't trying
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: to call nobody out because I love them, bro, I
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: don't want to set on these catch beds in their
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: house and they room like, hey man, we got to talk,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: bro like on a call, like hey man.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: What you got going? Bro Like, come pull up on me.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this. Man. I'm did to so many times.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: And I think that the disconnect is when they when
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: these labels are giving these kids these type of money, money.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Equals respect to them.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: So it's like, I'm not listening to you because you
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: ain't doing nothing for me. And I got this, which
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: is fine now sustaining it is a whole different conversation,
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: but even keeping you because now you got the change
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: to change generational wealth, you know what I'm saying, or.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Either put those kids in.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: It's a difference between your kids going to to public
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: school in private school or having those type of friends
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: when they grow up, because that's what it's about, like
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: their relationships and who they're gonna meet and grow up
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: with and go to college with and all that. Because
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: it ain't about you. It's about your kids, right. But
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: just imagine that everything's going great, everybody's loving this new
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: life we got, and then you just make a decision.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: It's purely based on the motions and ego. And I
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: tell everybody, man, a bad day for the ego is
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: a great day for the soul.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Because I've had to make so many unpopular decisions, but
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: it all worked out for me because I'm in peace
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: right and I ain't gotta play, you know what I'm saying.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: It's like I don't got to play the game because
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: if you come over here, you know what I'm saying,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: We're gonna be in the right. It's not even it
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: ain't even about being gangs. It's about being a man.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: It's just like I don't want to be nothwhere around it.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I love y'all. You can come one on you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: one on one, but don't bring all your partners. I
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: don't want to be bothered that, you know what I'm saying,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: But I feel for them because you know, it's a
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: lot of web pendles in that penitentium.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Man, you know what I'm saying, there's a lot of.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I do want to say.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: In regard to the music you used to make twenty
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: years ago, you can't beat yourself up about that because
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: you was doing the best.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: You could with the information you had at the time.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: And when I listened a third motivation one on one
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: that don't just a hustle is a hustle, I don't
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: mean that leaving me.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: To no no, no.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: And I don't want you to think that I'm tripping.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: I'm saying because I always knew it was a position
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: of leadership. I always understood that now what I was
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: going through. When I was going through, I just wised
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: up over time and started listening to the people who's
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: really trying to help me right, because they really were,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: and they were people that I wouldn't expect, you know
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. There were people that was reaching out
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: having these conversations, but I took key and I was
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: just like, Okay, tell me about that. And you gotta
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: stay curious, you know, you got to ask the questions.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: And then when you start seeing what's happening around you,
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: it goes back to the streets. Like I knew what
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: not to do based off of how I saw these
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: people getting into trouble. So I'm like, I don't want
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: to do that. I ain't the jail type. I'm gonna
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: tell you right now. I can't see sitting nowhere and
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: not being PRODUCTI so I don't want to even put
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: myself in a position like that without me having to
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But I don't regret anything.
• 36:06

• 38:49
  Speaker 4: And I know I said this last time, but I
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: got to say it again because you saved me.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Brother.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Charlemagne for my New York Time best
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: selling book Adversity for Sale, because I ran into a
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: situation where I had an issue with a publishing company
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: and I called Charlemagne, like who published your book? And
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: he put me with somebody and we went on to
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: sell a New York Times bestseller.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so thank you, thank you, brother, Thank you.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: For all the years of motivation with the music.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: My last question, if you could go back and tell
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: two thousand and five GZ one thing before TM one
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: on one drop, what would it be?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Go harder?
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Because I was a little reluctant because you know, I
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: was scared of failure, you know what I mean, because
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I had so much on the line.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: So it was like real pressure. You know, it ain't nothing.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Like everybody looking at you like a way out, you
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. That pressure is on your shoulder,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: But then you're also looking at yourself like if because
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: it's different if a record labels inquiring you and you
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: hide in the streets and on your like they're they're
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: pushing this issue like this is your money, this is
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: your time, this is your energy. So if it doesn't work,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: you know, nine times out of ten, you don't spend all.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: You don't spend all your bread and now you got
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: to figure something else out and you don't turn your
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: back on everything you knew as far as like the
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: streets to take this chance. So I always said it
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: go harder because there was a lot of times where
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I was like I was sitting back not being the
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: star that I could have been because I was having
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: what did it called it impostra sentially, you know, because
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: I was in these rooms with these guys that was
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: really writing and really like this is what they been
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: doing their whole life. And I kind of just stumbled
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: into this. And it wasn't until I just realized that, like,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: but you but you're real though, you are who you
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: say you are, and you don't have to be as witty.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: You can be realer. And that was my thing. So
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: when I was saying if it's taken too long to
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: lock up, I was talking to the people who knew
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: what I was talking about, So everybody wasn't gonna get there.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: And that's the that's the that's what I had over
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: everybody else. I knew how to talk to the people
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: that mattered to me. And uh, it wasn't until I
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: really figured that out. It is when I was like, okay,
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: I could live in and like I said, it was
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: it was. I was three hours in before I woke
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: up and I was just like, I took that book
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: bag with all those not bricks. I'man like waiting it
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: because it was heavy, and I just took it off
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: and through it and I was like, I'm going to
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: be a star. I'm going to be a star man,
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: you know. So thug motivation to me was a blur
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: because it was like it could have happened, it might
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: not happened, But everything I went through I'm grateful for
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: even right now to this day, because there's nothing that
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: I go up against that I don't go what would
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: I done in two thousand and five?
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? How would I worked around this?
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: And I love it because when people put me into
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: you know, like if I get in situations with business
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: and then I called back and I called my team
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: the next thing and be like, Yo, we're gonna do this,
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: they'd be like, oh, man.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I knew it. We got them. You know what I'm saying,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: because they tried to box me in. I figured it out.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: So yeah, answer in a lot of ways just towards
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: like you being able to relive that time but actually
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: enjoy the moment.
