• 1:31
  Speaker 3: get some ghetto.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, oh you really named it that. That was like
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the coin name that you gave it back. I've never

  Speaker 1: Ramen so much in a broke show.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But when I see a Ramen with a flair, I
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: really believe that the individual was probably, like you said,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: broke as hell. Yeah, you know, you had it so
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: many times that you had to up it. Go ahead,

  Speaker 1: kitchen cooking, I want you to take me back to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: what was going on when you was broke as hell?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I mean there's just so many years of
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: being broke as hell. Like, which part of being broke
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: as hell did you want to have the conversation about,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: because you know, I mean, I come from absolutely nothing,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: so I was broke as hell the whole time.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Where are you from originally?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So I'm from like Los Angeles of course. So California.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: But I've lived all over South Central, all over Inglewood,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: all the trash this I'm like, yeah, but first you
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: gotta like you gotta. If you don't do that, it
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: don't even taste the same. But we're gonna put that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: over there, because that's what that's gonna be at. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: lived all over South Central, Inglewood and all over LA
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: everywhere in La all you know what I mean, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: then also all over the valley too, you know what
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I mean. So yeah, yeah until that. My parents were
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: married until I was about twelve and then they split.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So right when I turned into a teenager and started
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: going outside, it was yeah, I was dolo, okay.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And then did you also always know you were going
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to get into music?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Nah?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Not really. I thought I was going to be an actor,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: which I ended up being on love and hip hop
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and different stuff. It's kind of a version of acting.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: But I started off, you know, coming out, you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and like my my, my mom put me into acting
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and I was the stand up comedy champion at Lave
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Factory for like three years with Jamie Massada. So Jamie Masada,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: which was the left he put me in and I
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: was young, but I was so good that him, Paul
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Rodriguez and all of them put me into the adult
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: camp and I was like ten, so ten eleven, twelve,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: ten eleven, twelve, and like yeah, the beginning of thirteen,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I was, I was, I was doing the stand up comedy. Okay,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: he as a kid, and then that got me into
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: like some national commercials and a couple of tea Like
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I start figuring out, like dang, what's a Coogan account?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And obviously being broke as hell. My parents were also
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: broke as hell, so that Cougan account got cooganed, that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: got cooked.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I thought that all that money was supposed to protect it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It is supposed to.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't work because my dad had the same
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: name as me, so he just absolutely mangled wopped my account.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: By time, whatever I had built was whenever I had built,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: it was saram bag. So I did all that work,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: but it was still a good experience, you know what
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I mean. So, yeah, there's a rap.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was it a shocker that you lost the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: money or did you kind of know it was going
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to disappear?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Well? I know, I knew. I knew that I came
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: from the type of appearance like I know what it was.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You know, when you grow
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: up and you like, I'm probably not go never see
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: this money. By the time I get to this money, now,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I was hustling. I was already out in the streets
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: hustling young. So like even when I was done out
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: and I just was out there hustling dolo to the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: point where by the time I was like fourteen fifteen,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I was like making so much money just doing different
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: whatever I was doing. And then I was giving my
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: mom money, and like they were separate. So I get
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: my mom here, take some bands, and she like, how
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: you got bands in you? Fourteen? And I'm handing her money.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: So I was like it was a little weird because
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I always was a hustler. I get straight to it. However,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: it go like ever since I was young, I was
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: selling candy or selling this. You know, I go to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: ninety nine cent stores, go home, go to the school,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: sell sugar, Daddy, sell the sell that. So I was
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: always doing something. I was always hustling. I'm the hustler,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Like you come get me when it's time to hustle.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: We don't figure it out. Thus, years later, obviously multiple companies,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and but but it came from you know, absolutely nothing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So but for like I I was doing good on
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the hustle, and then I started getting kicked out of
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the schools that I was hustling in, so then my
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: money started dropping back down. Whatever, And there I was,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I was, I was. I was cooking the ninety nine
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: cent store. However that was happening different situations, said I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: was just going viral when be in here just saying
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I was doing anything. But we was doing all kinds
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of stuff. Then I get the bread, I get the
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: can't do whatever situation was, and then we'd go run
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: it up, run it up, run it up. However that happened,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: and then and I'd be selling it. It to be all profits,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: so I'd be making like one hundred something a day.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Then I started baking. I'm like, damn, when I'm thinking
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: about all the things I'm talking about hustling, this shit
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: kind of self incriminated. When I started thinking about all
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: this stuff I was doing, liked, am I supposed to
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: break that down? Just know I was, because I was,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I'm like, damgn. I started. I'm like, by the time
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I'm done, y'all be like dangn We should probably cut
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: that out because I was doing all kinds of I
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: was hustling, I was running plays, I was in licks.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I was doing all kinds of stuff. And we don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: want to go through all that. Don't even tell me aboutself,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: but I was. It was It was unusual. When I
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: got sixteen, I was out the house, like my mom.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: They just I was moving around so much. They was like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you want to be grown. Shit hit the streets. So
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I was sleeping in the car. I bought it myself
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: a car, started sleeping in a car. Like sixteen, I
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: was hustling nobody. My mom and them didn't even know
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I had any talent besides the you know accomy. Yeah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: because my sister, she was a singer and she like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the first American idol, and so she they was on
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: whatever she was on. I was just in the cut.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Like I mean, obviously the way I look, I might
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: have cut have been a supermodel or something. But if
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: they wasn't thinking about that, it was like.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Whatever the hell, Like your parents attention switched to her beause.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Oh it's been I switched. It was always her. Yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: she was always like the one and then she's super dope.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: That's my like that, that's my heart. She was always
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: like just super anointed singing wise, and so she always
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: had opportunities and different things going on. And yeah, I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: just so should I start cooking? Oh yeah, you gotta
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: dump that in. But then we gotta get the season
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: and so anyway you gotta throw a little season and
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: so on there, because it ain't never been a black
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: dish without seasoning.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm about to.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Say, what is this we're talking about? Oh but what
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: was I saying?

• 9:14
  Speaker 3: one show. And she's like her voice's next level, always been.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: And so they just was kind of on whatever she
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: was on.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And it was just the two of y'all. As far
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: as family, I got four four siblings.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's yeah, yeah, that's the gang. But yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: you know they ain't. Nobody thought I was doing They
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: thought I was the fuck up. They like this nigga
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: is failing every class you know what I'm saying. They
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: like outside in the streets, he just they just knocked
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: this nigga out. He just went to jail. And then
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: we heard these industry it's all kind of shit. I'm
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: doing all kind of stuff when I was younger, so
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: they like, dang, they like he he ain't dot. So

  Speaker 3: nobody had faith in me. But you know, you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I was kind of like always very good or a
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: master at whatever it was I did. So, like the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: crump movement was heavy, so we were like the pioneers.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I was like the main one of the main people
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: out here who was in the mix like and kind
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: of created that frequency. So I was like we were dancing,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and dancing got me in a lot of different rooms too,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: just because I was always so good like flipping, tumbling,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: everything that just was super vicious at dancing. So you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: coming from Tommy to Clown into the crump movement and
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: then it being you know, that's when b too, that's
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: when like you got served in that type of stuff.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: It was just the biggest thing on earth to know
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: how to crump, to know how to so I was
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: like in the front of that. So when I was

• 26:37
  Speaker 3: So like eighteen, I had eighteen, I had bumped into
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: an investor. First of all, I was I was writing,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: like I was battle rapping and doing all that, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I was so popular with dance and I was getting
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of popularity with dance in my space in
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: San Diego. I had dropped the record called bat Box
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: on my space, and when I tell you, it was
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the most popular. So I had like a million something blades.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: It was the most popular song. And I said, dang,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: these people really like my music. This is crazy, And
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: so I was getting so much, not that people were
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: dming me like yo, bro, that's fire, Like yo, bro,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: what's up? So basically this investor had DM me like yo,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: I got no Actually sorry, Mike Post. You know Mike
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Post he created Law and Order, the Law and Order Tell,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: the Lawn Order theme song, and all the music for
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Law and Order. He gets paid every three seconds. He's ridiculous.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: So so Mike Post is like, yo, like my other
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: boy was actually at Mike's studio. He's like, yo, you
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: should sit down on him. So I came over there.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: They gave me like like it was like yo, go ahead,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: like play what you got? I played it. I did
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: like a whole performance thing, Da da da, and it
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: was like yo, like you're the next There was no
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Drake obviously, there was just maybe a Chris, but there
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: was no rapping, singing dance. Wasn't they like yo, like
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: you next up? Like this is crazy, like what you need?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact. So he had an SSL studio with
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: like other rooms. He was like listen, anytime, use my studio.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: You're good. So for me going, you know, in everybody
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: closet to record you know what I'm saying. The bathrooms
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm recording the most random places in the hood,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: just like wherever you got a mic, set it up. Like,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: so going from there to an SSL recording studio was
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: a It just was a different frequency. So I'm like,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: because of my environment, I have to now adapt to
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: this level of music. So that SSL made me change
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the way I approached records because I'm like, let me
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: think a little harder now, you know what I'm saying.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: So I'm doing that, this and the third, and I'm
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: writing crazy records and I'm rapping. I'm doing all this stuff.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: I was with this dude in Kira from London, which
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: is which was my main producer. I actually assigned a
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: production deal with him and Kira early was like he
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: was a family friend from from my mom from way back,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: but he's from London, so his sound was European. He
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: had like done Kylie Minogue and all these other people,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: so he was like, yo, rock, this is how we
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: gonna approach it. It was always like some big sound
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: in European, worldwide stuff. And then I'm like okay, and

  Speaker 2: Kids, You're doing a versus and rapping right, rapping, And
• 29:33

• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, this is nuts. This is the first time
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I ever But I didn't know what that meant. I
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: just like that. And then so from there.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Like now when you have the number one record, are
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: you making money or you just know that you have
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I just know.

  Speaker 3: it means.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: To have a number one record.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I'm like nineteen right there in eighteen ninety. So then
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Tim and Bob, right, you know Tim and Bob. Tim
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: and Bob like legendary producers like Jimmy jam and Terry
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Lewis like super like my real film now my next
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: level brothers. These families different, But back then there was
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Tim and Bob. They created Bobby Volentino that they voice
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: the me in Evolution and brought out to me in
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: case and everybody from beyond they had it was like everything.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: So Dad came around and they were using my sister
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: actually to do back all Jennifer Lopez's backgrounds at the time,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: and so one day, you know, my sister always was
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: like my sister loved me, so she's always like yo,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: like I'm over here, da da da. And I came
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: to drop her off something at the studio and she's like, oh,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: this is my brother. And they're like, damn, bro, you
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: look kind of dope. You look out like a look
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: like what you do? And I'm like, yo, rap da
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: da da, And so I pressed play on something. They like,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: what the yo, man, what's up with here? So Tim
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: and Bob set up a session. I actually got in
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the booth and while I was in the booth, he's like, yo,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: can you test the mic because Bobby Valentino for the
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: comminges the mic. And so I started like singing or whatever,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: just to try and get whatever frequency they were trying
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: to go. What even thinking about it? They was like, bro,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: your voice is dope. What the do you know how
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: to write? So they forced me into writing like records.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: It was weird like at the time, like yo, just
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: start yo, just start trying to write some stuff. And
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: like two or three sessions later, I had already wrote
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: like a hit and they're like, dude, this is like
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: you're a writer, you're a singer, You're a and I'm like, dang,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: I just was transitioning into thing. I was morphing in
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the difference right away. I'm like, damn, am I singer?
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Am I writer? Because I was always rapping, battle rapping,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: hardcore always, and then so my pin was so crazy.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: It was like you put melodies over your pen, you're
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be vicious. And so my sister was always a singer,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: so melodies was easy for me. So I'm like okay.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: And so Tony Mercedes, who signed TolC, had came one
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: day and brought his artists and was like, yo, I
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: got this artist. She's big in Australia. Write her a song.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: And I wrote her a song on the spot as
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: a smash, and he gave me a check. The next day.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: It was like here, how much was the check?
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Seventy five hundred dollars and I'm like like, hold on,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: but he gave me the check. You're like just sign
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: this and I'm like all right, well I'm signing, and
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: it gave me seventy five dollars. I'm like, so one
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: of them, who am I giving this to? He like
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: this for you for writing a song every record. I
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: was trying to get you ten, but they only agreed that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I'm like, so I got seventy five. Oh yeah, it's over.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: They're done. Everybody's done. Everybody's done. Nobody is going to
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: breathe again with the writing. Y'all are done. They're handing
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: out checks for writing hits. Everybody's done. All y'all are good.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Don't even don't even pick up the pen no more
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: unless you're extravagant. So from that day on, when I
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: see that check, and I didn't have to do no gags,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I have to do nothing. I have to hit no lick,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I'd have to do no nothing. I'd have to jump
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: through no windows, nothing, do no flock. I had to
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: sell nothing. I was, I said, he just handed me
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: this and all cash, and I don't have to do nothing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: And I just had to do that. No, my mama,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I was, Oh my god, I ain't look and as you.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: And obviously ever since then it got wicked, it got serious,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: and so I just started just becoming a guillotine with
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: the pen, like I'm just sharp I'm just like everybody
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: getting diced. So from then I just start cataloging. Oh y'all,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: hold on, y'all be buying records after that's all y'all want.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: So now I'm sitting there and then I'm finding friends.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: You know what I sing? Jump in the booth, sing
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: what I'm singing? You know how to right? So then

• 52:07
  Speaker 3: was unusual. But I didn't even get there yet. Thank
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: you for ruining that. But yeah, I absolutely ran through
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: the money. And when I tell you, I never not
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: ran through the money. It's mandatory that you run through
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: the money. Though. A billionaire broke that down to me
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: because I never understood why I kept blowing my money.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: That's a huge part that people have to realize. Why
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: do you blow your money? Why? So a couple different
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: mobuls taught me different things, but one billionaire told me,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: you know the reason you blowed through your money, Like
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: you keep complaining because one time I went broke. This
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: we're skipping up. You got me skipping up. One time
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I went broke right after I got all this money.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: One time I went broke. And when I was broke,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I was sitting there and I'm telling him, like, bro
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: I'm fucked up right now. You ain't got no projects like,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: just give me a bridge and I'm gonna get back
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: on my feet. And he like, he like, listen, how
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: much you I'm like give me, like I need like
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: a core, I need like two hundred and fifty thousand.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: So he like, all right, listen, you keep looking real emo.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: And I don't like the way you're talking about yourself
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: or the way you feeling, like the way you're I'm
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: used to a different type of rock star. You gotta
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: understand how the trajectory of money goes. And I'm like,
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: what you mean? He said, listen, When I made five
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand, I lost it. Then I made a million,
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: I lost it. Then I made two million. I lost
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: it until I got to a place where I made
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: enough where I could fall on a cloud and I
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: was still up there, and then I could keep going
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: from there. He said, it's mandatory because you have to
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: go low to go high. You gotta bend your knees
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: to jumps gravity. If you don't go low, you're not
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: gonna go high. So your trajectory even on a stock obviously,
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: now me being publicly traded, a publicly traded company owner,
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: and me being a stock me being who I today
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: and a mogul and a different type of thing with tech,
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: and I understand now how graphs and charts work. Back then,
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know what he was talking about, but
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: I did say, dang, you do gotta being your needs
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: to jump. You gotta go lower to go higher. He's like, bro,
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: you keep don't fold because you hit the ground. You
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: should be rejoicing. You the type of dude you are.
• 54:20

• 54:22
  Speaker 3: everything in my account you'll be rich in the year.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm like what damn. I'm like, okay, cool, And
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: he didn't give me the money. He was like, I'm
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: not gonna give you the money because you gotta go
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: through the steps to go get the money. Go figure
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: it out. Shit. And I'm like, damn, this nigga did
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: all that and I didn't get nothing. This sucks. This
• 54:39

• 54:42
  Speaker 3: was so true. I was like, yo, and I figured
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: out how to maneuver and figure and everything. Every detail
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: was mandatory for my next elevation, you know what I'm saying.

  Speaker 3: something crazy. It was like it was crazy, but got
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: them their own spot. They moved into this house. And

  Speaker 3: was the most money I had ever seen at the time,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: so I'm like, oh my god, and I just went broke.

  Speaker 3: That was the thing. I lost all the money doing
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: too much because I had just got all that. The
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: second again, yeah yeah, definitely lost again. But but that too,

• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: went through having an artist and a major. That whole
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: situation went far left. But we're not going to go
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: into what that was because that was crazy. But you
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: know that taught me a whole bunch of stuff there
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: in terms of signing artist to majors and then the net.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Let's keep skipping. The next big check was when I

• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: they didn't like me. They had to like me. Yeah,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: that's the thing. They had to like me because I
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: pressed playing my speakers was smacking their stupid asses, and
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: they had to like me because of who I was with,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: and it was hierarchy, so they couldn't do nothing about
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: but like, all right, he's next. He guess he's the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: next Kanye like they had to, but they didn't want
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: to and they didn't. So when he died, and my MoMA,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: one thing I remember I'll never forget. I walked into
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: I snuck into the being my Awards and I walked

• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: but back then it was the wick. It was the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: coldest shit I ever heard. And Nigga tell me so,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: I had already liked been trying to reach out to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: people afterwards, to do certain things, even trying to reach
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: out to the label, and they didn't want to respond.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: And now they direct with my artists and I can't
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: even get it.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: So now the artists and all them is all best
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: friends and I can't even nobody want to answer my calls.

• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: Read and I can't get to them. None of them
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: want to answer my call. So I'm like, man, it's crazy.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: So everybody kind of just blackball. It was like nobody was.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: It was like as soon as Chris, they was like,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: why would we answer the phone without Chris? This isn't
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: making any sense right, So what happens is I'm like
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: most people would have been like, damn, man, they ain't
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: fuck with me. I'm done. But obviously lead that's when
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: that confidence, like whatever God has for me, no man
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: could stop. So I already knew, like y'all are trying
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: to play me and just fueled me. Most people fold
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: when they give that type of energy, they fold up.

  Speaker 3: That was the biggest record and It changed the radio,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: and it made everybody think Michael Jackson had just died.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: It made everybody. Even Janet Jackson called and said, this
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: is the closest thing I ever heard to my brother,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: I need whoever produced this album to come do my album,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: which is crazy because she didn't even know I was
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: dating her niece. She even know it was me. So
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: but that's a different story. But what I'm saying is fine.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: China was so massive and it hit so hard that everybody.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: Bruno Mars changed his sound. Everybody changed their sound and
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: went to that. Bruno Mars went from beautiful girls to
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: now everybody's in the eighties. I don't want no I'm like, oh,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: so all y'all want to bring basslines to the radio.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: I changed music guaranteed. So once Chris did find China.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Timberland walked in the room
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: and then me and Timberland was locked in for about
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: four months straight. Timberland is the reason I did the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: stuff with Beyonce. With Beyonce flew me out to Jungle
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: City and he brought me to at least get Timberland
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: brought me to some different people because me and him
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: was super locked in so but he came to the
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 3: camp late after the album was damn, they're done, and
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: he was like he heard find China, stopped the music
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: and said, listen, this is the craziest shit. What the
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: fuck is happening? Who did this? And they was like, oh,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: Chris and Allen was like that nigga. He was like, nigga,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: you are not normal. Oh for show they're like you.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: But at that time I was at I was in
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: the camp, his friends, it became my best friends, his cousin,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: my cousin. We all together, We at the clubs together,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: were moving around. I played Autumn Leaves for Rihanna and
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: she cried, oh he played at at least for Rihanna.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: She cried niggas like, I can't like. The records were
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: so vicious that it was like people couldn't believe that
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: niggas was creating this level of music. And that was
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: my time to shine. That was my time to show
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: the industry through the biggest artists in the world, that
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: I was. And so that record Fine China changed everything
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: because I went from that to executive producing this album.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: I did not I did. I did ten records on
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: X on that album, and I named the album X
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: with Diplo, Me, Diplo, Chris. We did the X, but
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: we actually named the album X off this record that
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: we did called X and it was life. That was
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: life changing for me. That record changed my life. And
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: then I went from that to doing j Lo's album,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: Fergie album, Usher, Rihann, everybody you could think of it
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: just domino effect. Once they knew, oh he's him, and
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: the executives can get around it no more. Once show
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: artists are requested me, who did that? Well, who's the
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: nigga that's always with Chris? Who's the nigga that just
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: did that? Brought him? Because Chris Brown was in a
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: place where nobody was trying to hear his shit no more. Yeah,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: there wasn't fucking with him. And then I said, well,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 3: why don't we do a Jackson record that is going
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: to remind the world, like Michael Jackson was getting in
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: bullshit every day, dude, whack old jack Oh this is this.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: But when he pressed play, oh, that ship went out
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: the window. And we do a Michael record. And so
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: when he did that, you know, he took a risk
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: and he did the Michael record. They was right back
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: on his dick.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: So now that we've gotten your full scope and your
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: tipping points. Yeah, and I like that. I like that
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: you got a little black listed in between. That's crazy.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: Tried after that it became bad. They couldn't do it on.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: Now you've been a successful Now became my best friend. Yeah.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Now they're all your best friends, know.

  Speaker 2: I believe it. I'm very fair scorpios.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: But now now that you're you're you're killing it in
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: the music game. You're also tapping into the entrepreneur game.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: You're doing that. I guess we're not going to talk
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: about your ar.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: About skipping up till now. Yeah. Well yeah, now we
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: now we thirteen Grammys later, and we just want to build.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: No, thirteen thirteen. I thought I was fifteen.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: No, I was at eleven, and then we're up for
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: three right now, Okay, a fourteen. Yeah, that's that's all
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. That's a hundred million records.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: We're here, We're here, yeah, right, over time. But I
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: just want to make sure that I cover just kind
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: of the today's standpoint, like what's going on with you? Now?
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: We got rock.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: Wireless, Yeah, Rockstar Wireless, ros Star Wireless.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, because you got a transition. So making
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars and becoming a mogul in music gets
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: you to a place, right, And that made all my
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: some of my best friends, like flow Rider and different
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: people that support me. Me and floor Rider used to
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: sleep on the floor at Davonte's swing studio. Yeah, if
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: you talked to floor Rider and be like you used
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: to sleep on the floor at Me and flow Rider
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: used to sleep on the floor at Davonte's swing studio
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: and we were sharing burgers and Sharon Fries and shit
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: like that. He got discovered, went to Miami and I
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: think signed a trick that year, one of them out
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: the blue. But we was all there, broke, busted in discussion.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: This is why floor Rider is one of my best
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: friends in the world. And it just killed that that
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: ninety million dollar deal with Celsius and all that time heat.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: That's one of my best friends. I love floor Rider
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: to death. But we came from the bottom together. But
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of the people that I came up with
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: and when I became a mogan whatever situate, they support
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: me on a different scale because they've really seen what
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: I went through to become something bigger and so tech.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: I've always been in a tech it was my passion forever.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 3: Like we won the CS Award for Most Innovative Technology
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: in twenty thirteen for the dual screen cell phone. Me
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: and my partner Darius Allen, which I partnered in Rockster
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: Wireless with was creating cell phones, selling cell phones, tablets
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: with the projectors, doing stuff that people couldn't do early,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: and so I stick to the same code I start
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: with you, I'm finished, but still my partner in things
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: that we do all day. I was doing tech since
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: I figured that tech was what's next, Crypto was what's next.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: I had a million dollars in crypto. I had million
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: dollars in bitcoin when bitcoin was two thousand dollars. My
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: boy DA put me up on a play. I made
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: million dollars in bitcoin early. So I was on plays
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: everything tech early, and I was always in it, and
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: I was just honing creating. And so that's how I
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: kind of got into tech. Because music will make you
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: a certain amount of money, but it's a gateway drug.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: And the problem is people stay in music forever. Catalog
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: publishing all that. That's cool, but it's limited. I take that.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: I've used that gateway drug to get into a much
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: bigger atmosphere, and I use the connections and the people
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: I've built this world with to This is how beats
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: By Dre becomes a four billion dollar company. You take
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Iveen starts dabbling in tech, he takes the doctor
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: dres and now here it's the influence of this. So
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: Chris Brown one hundred and fifty six million followers on
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: just one platform. If that's your people and he pushes
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: a button, you now, even if it's just ten percent,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: you got fifteen million users on a platform, you could
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: already sell the platform just off them users at one percent,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: one point five million users on a platform. So once
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: I started to understand and extra strategies, how to do
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: reverse mergers and the shell companies, how to do pink sheets,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 3: how to sit there and run stocks from the top
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: to the bottom, how to really understand the crypto markets,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: the NFT markets, how to mint, how to understand floors,
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: where Ethereum went, where this is it? Solana all the coins?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: How to go through different situations. I study things and
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: once I started understanding where the money was, I started
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: to create tech companies on a scale that's like okay, music,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: tech influence all in one situation. Then that's how I
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: got Rockstar Wireless. Did it with the head of T Mobile,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: Dan Thigerson, Mike Seffert and all of them, and they
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: came in, They're like, yo, we support we don't have
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: any minority NB and os let's tag team. So we
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: locked in with them. Did that, did the biggest deal.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: We're the only black owned cell phone company and that's worldwide,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: and we have better rates than everybody else. Yeah, rasing
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: everybody now.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: And now we know that I'm going to get a
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: second line. Oh yeah, get you a second oneless.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: As you know, Mint Mobile just sold for one point
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: four billion. That's how Ryan got his one point four billion,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: as he would have had to do a lot of
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: movies to get that. But you know that tech takes
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: you somewhere else. I also have Trinity Social, which TikTok
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: is going out of style and they're about to get banned.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: So we created a social media platform that encompasses all
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: of the platforms into one platform. That's why it's called Trinity.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: It's like the Father, the son Hoole. It's like all
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: of the things in one is the Trinity. And so
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: it's called Trinity Social. And we have a version of
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: Clubhouse in there, a version of OnlyFans in there. We
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: have everything that Instagram gives you from feeds, you can monetize,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: go lot, everything all inside one social media app. And
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: so that's next stuff as well as loaded right now
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: in your app store, download Trinity Social. You'll love it
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: if you're tired of paying however much you're paying, and
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: people paying three four five hundred dollars on cell phone bills.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: You can come to Rockstar wireless we given nineteen ninety nine. Like,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you want to do. I don't
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: know if you beat that I pay for it.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: Wh at coming to play my phone way too hot,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: So we gotta gotta go.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: And so I've been building heavy tech companies and running
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: plays and now I'm kind of the bridge between tech
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: companies and the music business. It's impossible to get to
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: a Chris Brown, it's impossible to get to a Jennifer Lopez.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: It's and possible to get to a Fergie or a
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: Prince Royce or even like certain basketball players certain and
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: they're all my best friend. Like there's people I'm day
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: to day with. So I bridge gaps between even other
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: companies that I rock with, and we bridge gaps so
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: that their companies can scale a lot faster than the
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: traditional marketing of strategies, because that's really the new marketing strategy.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: Like influencers and so I have, you know, kind of
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: ignorant amount of them, and so we go crazy and
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 3: we're all friends, Like I only mess with people that
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: I like, And so that's the whole situation, and I've
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: just been scaling and just building from there. And that's
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: how I you know, coming from nothing to something I
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: saw that really happened. And when I tell somebody, I
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: really was sleeping coming from nothing, that's something I really
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: built it break by brick by brick by step.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: I think we just learned that just now. Hell Broke's
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: head to lit to to really lit.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: So wealthy, I would say more wealthy.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: I'm still rich. I feel like I need to get
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: to I'm getting to wealthy once I exit you know,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: two or three of these companies or even one of
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: even one of them, Uh, you know, it's going to
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: be a wealthy situation. But until then, I would say
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: rich because you know, for me, uh, until you're nine
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: ten figures, until you're in a one hundred million range,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: like ten figures. Yeah, I touched ten figures in terms
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: of deals, but that's ten million, nine million. I know
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: that's a million eleven minute. But you're talking about people
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: are out here running around with billions and billions and
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: hundreds of me. So it's like for me, I'm still
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get to where I need to get. I'm
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: like I'm pushing buttons. You know what I'm saying on
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: a different scale, And that's why I've set things up
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: to make sure that the exit strategies are built. Do
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: not build anything in your life and without an exit strategy,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: and that's how you set yourself up for failure. And
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: when you learn how to build an exit strategy and
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: anything it is, you don't want to be tied to
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: something forever like that, get you know, unless it's now.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about people, the girl, you know whatever, family,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 3: love and friends and that's different. But I'm talking about
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: companies because they're stressful. You build them, do it, and
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: then you let somebody become the machine and move and
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: you either sit back and just get residuals forever, or
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: you put it in a place where it's gone and
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: you win and you can relax. It's about buying an
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: island and you know, growing your own fruit, stuff like that.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, nothing is something is a real thing.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: For me, it is and well, I just want to
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for cooking for me. Oh yeah,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: and probably hands down one of the best storytellers, most animated.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: I loved hearing your story and thank you so much
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: for taking time out of your day of course to
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: come down here.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate you. I'm sycause oh yeah, I'm the
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: AI goggles too.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: He got the A I got and I'm obsessed with as.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: So you know, I'm gonna be.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: We got a bunch of different stuff.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: Your I could be your test, the person that tests,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: because I'll keep it.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: But if you pass out, I don't know what to
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: I'm just.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: You know, but I'm saying like I could be like
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: the critical reviewer. I'll be like, I'll keep it all
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: the way real, no filter.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna see. I just created a pet s D
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: program through sound therapy through frequent ancient frequencies like war
• 1:38:05
