- 3:06Speaker 1: some ship anyway, Tanna Talk for yes serious that season? Yeah, man,
- 3:10Speaker 1: I'm ready. It's about time. Man? What makes like because
- 3:15Speaker 1: you know your Tanna Talk series is obviously Tanna Talk three,
- 3:18Speaker 1: I think is the album that definitively probably just changed
- 3:21Speaker 1: your trajectory as far as like attention and clearly paying
- 3:25Speaker 1: attention to you, and then Plugs I Met kind of
- 3:29Speaker 1: solidified all that attention you were getting. But like, you
- 3:32Speaker 1: know what, why was it time to follow up Tanna
- 3:34Speaker 1: Talk three? Because that was twenty eighteen. We're almost four
- 3:36Speaker 1: years was twenty eighteen. Uh, that's why it's four years ago.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Like those those represent chapters of my life. You know
- 3:45Speaker 1: what I'm saying that I was I was ready to
- 3:48Speaker 1: open up another chapter, you know what I'm saying and
- 3:50Speaker 1: talk about what I've been going through, talk about what
- 3:52Speaker 1: I've been experiencing, because I haven't gave I haven't gave
- 3:55Speaker 1: nobody that since I've been here. The first one was
- 3:59Speaker 1: my intro, you know what I'm saying, So you know
- 4:01Speaker 1: what I mean I'm talking a lot about like experiences
- 4:04Speaker 1: in this ship. I mean, Yo, it's crazy because I
- 4:07Speaker 1: was telling you like I actually got a chance to
- 4:09Speaker 1: get an early listen to the album. Man, I ain't
- 4:11Speaker 1: gonna lie. People are gonna watch this and and uh,
- 4:15Speaker 1: the album's not coming out for a while. I don't
- 4:18Speaker 1: know if we could talk about the date yet. We're
- 4:19Speaker 1: not gonna put it out there, but about a month
- 4:20Speaker 1: from now, probably about a month months have changed or something.
- 4:24Speaker 1: It was another date that people don't but right probably
- 4:26Speaker 1: probably happening in March. Now. This might be your best
- 4:30Speaker 1: body of work. Man, I don't say that like lightly. Uh. Man,
- 4:36Speaker 1: you're first of all, just addressing a lot on this
- 4:39Speaker 1: project and it just feels listen, man, I don't know.
- 4:45Speaker 1: How do you feel about it? I feel the same way.
- 4:47Speaker 1: I feel the same way. It's just uh, And I like,
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'm I'm with the details and that's a lot of
- 4:54Speaker 1: details and the ship. Uh, I'm I'm this is me
- 4:58Speaker 1: with rock Nation, and this is me who made some money.
- 5:02Speaker 1: This is me who I got to see a lot
- 5:04Speaker 1: of people true colors and I got to be a rapper,
- 5:06Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I'm like this is
- 5:08Speaker 1: this is like the Butcher on steroids. It really feels
- 5:11Speaker 1: that way, like the record that you know, we've talked
- 5:15Speaker 1: about this record in the past, but the ten More
- 5:16Speaker 1: Crack Commandments. It's crazy. It's as good as everyone is
- 5:22Speaker 1: hoping it is, right, but you have Diddy doing ad
- 5:25Speaker 1: libs on this record, which is so fucking iconic. The
- 5:29Speaker 1: fact you could have man shout out my shoutout Diddy
- 5:31Speaker 1: for doing that, you know what I'm saying, because he
- 5:33Speaker 1: don't got to do that. He did that ship made
- 5:35Speaker 1: it more authentic, and you know that's my guy. Man,
- 5:39Speaker 1: go get you out some motherfucking daily oon. What was
- 5:41Speaker 1: like the best ship? That the origin of that relationship
- 5:43Speaker 1: and then just the origin of like when did you say, Okay,
- 5:47Speaker 1: I need Diddy to do ad libs on this or
- 5:48Speaker 1: was it his idea? Like what happened? Man? Just uh
- 5:52Speaker 1: putting that record together? I'm thinking, like, how could I
- 5:55Speaker 1: make this? You know what I'm saying, Let me get
- 5:56Speaker 1: let me let me see what Primo think, the one
- 5:58Speaker 1: who made the original beat. Let me let me see
- 6:01Speaker 1: what did he think? You know what I'm saying, he
- 6:02Speaker 1: was he probably he heard that shit a million times
- 6:04Speaker 1: before it came out the original one. So let me
- 6:06Speaker 1: see what he thinking, you know what I mean. He
- 6:07Speaker 1: was fucking with it, and I'm like, you know what,
- 6:09Speaker 1: let me ask him that, you know what I mean.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And he was with it. So, like I said, he't
- 6:13Speaker 1: have to do that, you know what I mean, dude.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Like I said, Man, the dudes at the top like him,
- 6:19Speaker 1: they take it out almost as a responsibility for them
- 6:21Speaker 1: to help guys like me or look out, you know
- 6:23Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But you gotta be my head. You
- 6:24Speaker 1: gotta be of a certain cloth. They're not just fucking
- 6:26Speaker 1: with anybody. And they'll tell you that, like we don't
- 6:28Speaker 1: fuck with anybody, but you know what I mean. So
- 6:30Speaker 1: appreciate him for doing that. One of the new commandments,
- 6:34Speaker 1: I'm just gonna spoil one of them. It's one that
- 6:37Speaker 1: is very necessary, and that's stay the fuck off Instagram.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, right, because nowadays we know every drug dealer.
- 6:44Speaker 1: They're flossing on the fucking ground, they're flossing on the internet,
- 6:47Speaker 1: they're fucking trapping on Snapchat. They're doing all this fucking
- 6:50Speaker 1: dumb ship. It's crazy. They're just telling on themselves like
- 6:53Speaker 1: it's real time. It's wild, and it's it's it's it's
- 6:56Speaker 1: funny because back in the day when Biggie did the
- 6:58Speaker 1: ten Crack Commandments there, but there was just so much
- 7:01Speaker 1: shit that he was saying that was like very specific
- 7:03Speaker 1: to that time that you're like, yes, but that is
- 7:05Speaker 1: one of the ones. And I was just like, someone
- 7:07Speaker 1: needs to say this ship because real shit, that's that's
- 7:09Speaker 1: got to be. That's got to be like a rule.
- 7:11Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You can't be on there
- 7:13Speaker 1: showing how you move. You know, they got like departments
- 7:16Speaker 1: that watch your ship, you know what I'm saying. So
- 7:18Speaker 1: it's like Biggie didn't get you know what I'm saying,
- 7:20Speaker 1: He didn't get a chance to say nothing about that
- 7:23Speaker 1: because it wasn't it wasn't even a thing back then.
- 7:25Speaker 1: So now it is. I felt like, if you can't,
- 7:27Speaker 1: you can't do it without it being authentic. So that
- 7:29Speaker 1: gotta be a rule. And even if you're not like trapping,
- 7:32Speaker 1: maybe you're scamming or you're fucking ppping or whatever it is,
- 7:37Speaker 1: these motherfuckers are getting cat up because it's like, how
- 7:38Speaker 1: could you afford that two hundred and eighty thousand dollars
- 7:40Speaker 1: Lamborghini truck. Uh. That applies to the life. You know
- 7:44Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Yes, like you want to show it off,
- 7:47Speaker 1: but like do you want to go to prison? And
- 7:49Speaker 1: I know you don't want to go to prison. You
- 7:51Speaker 1: know you don't want to want to go that. Momuck,
- 7:52Speaker 1: you don't want to do that. Man. Now the album
- 7:54Speaker 1: is amazing man than you. I think you got a
- 7:57Speaker 1: top five J Cole verse ever from him, and I
- 8:01Speaker 1: think I think he got he got verses and just
- 8:07Speaker 1: just like that or just being on the ship and
- 8:10Speaker 1: then that vibe because sometimes we don't always get to
- 8:12Speaker 1: catch our favorites and the vibe that we appreciate them
- 8:16Speaker 1: and and and loved them. What I'm saying people say
- 8:19Speaker 1: that about me. You know what I'm saying. When I
- 8:20Speaker 1: when I did the hit Boy, or when I did
- 8:22Speaker 1: the plugs I met too, They're like yo, I mean
- 8:24Speaker 1: they want to hear me. And I'm saying that's how
- 8:26Speaker 1: they want to hear me a certain way. A lot
- 8:27Speaker 1: of people want to hear bro like that. And even
- 8:30Speaker 1: though he probably feels like he got shipped like that,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I'm saying, they just want that's yeah, I mean, at
- 8:33Speaker 1: least like in recent remembrance I'm like, this is one
- 8:36Speaker 1: of the bet and Cole went the funk in on
- 8:38Speaker 1: his album. I loved his album. That was my Album
- 8:40Speaker 1: of the Year last year. Shout out of Cole, but
- 8:42Speaker 1: in general, like I feel like, you know when when
- 8:45Speaker 1: you're calling, you know, you're doing this Benny record, and
- 8:47Speaker 1: you hear the way you came on it. Because I'm
- 8:49Speaker 1: sure he heard your ship too. I mean yeah, because
- 8:52Speaker 1: he picks up where your verse ends a bit. You know,
- 8:56Speaker 1: you got it, He's got it. You know it's competition. Yeah,
- 9:00Speaker 1: it's like you're gonna play different in the finals and
- 9:02Speaker 1: you're gonna play at the Rucker, you know exactly. And
- 9:04Speaker 1: I love that. I love to be be able to
- 9:06Speaker 1: have the type of to bring something to the to
- 9:09Speaker 1: the to a tract and make somebody want to you
- 9:13Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, to bring to bring something crazier,
- 9:15Speaker 1: bring something just as that, you know what I'm saying,
- 9:17Speaker 1: because you know that's what we need as artists. I
- 9:19Speaker 1: know I need that, and I mean still sharp and
- 9:21Speaker 1: still you know what I mean, because we've seen people,
- 9:23Speaker 1: I've seen people who don't be around the same level
- 9:27Speaker 1: as talentism and and they take a you know, I mean,
- 9:30Speaker 1: they should take a hint because they're not. You know,
- 9:31Speaker 1: they fucking around like no, get back at sharks around,
- 9:34Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So the video just getting
- 9:36Speaker 1: him to do a video, it's a big deal, man,
- 9:37Speaker 1: that's huge. That means he respects you. That means and
- 9:39Speaker 1: also for the record, Cole's just doing what Cole wants
- 9:42Speaker 1: to do. Now. That's so if he's doing something, I'm
- 9:45Speaker 1: assuming you didn't pay him, right he that nigga? No,
- 9:47Speaker 1: we we don't, you know what I mean, Like it's
- 9:50Speaker 1: a mutual respect. It's something that he wanted to do.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I don't think. I just don't feel like Cole's the
- 9:55Speaker 1: kind of guy who's doing features for money. If like
- 9:56Speaker 1: he does it, don't need the money with you. Yeah, exactly,
- 9:59Speaker 1: That's why he's He even said for a second he
- 10:01Speaker 1: wasn't fucking with features because he don't. He don't do
- 10:03Speaker 1: that shit like he do it for the people that
- 10:05Speaker 1: he want to do it for. He can't put a
- 10:07Speaker 1: dollar a mount on that, nigga. Rich's hell, that's some
- 10:09Speaker 1: real shit. That is some real shit. You know. There's
- 10:14Speaker 1: my favorite song that I heard on the project. You
- 10:17Speaker 1: and Conway Tyson versallly yes, sir, which should be the
- 10:22Speaker 1: name of this fucking album. You guys have talked about
- 10:24Speaker 1: doing that. That should be the name of the album.
- 10:26Speaker 1: That's crazy, right, But this is a record that to
- 10:30Speaker 1: me is kind of like so needed for Griselda fans
- 10:34Speaker 1: to hear because there's been all this fake energy in
- 10:39Speaker 1: the air. Griselda read it all the message boards about exactly,
- 10:43Speaker 1: and you guys addressed so much of like that shit,
- 10:47Speaker 1: like you guys are family at the end of the day.
- 10:50Speaker 1: There's no weird energy. There's never really been any, right,
- 10:53Speaker 1: So it's like, I just thought that the way you
- 10:54Speaker 1: guys addressed all that shit together on that on that
- 10:57Speaker 1: song was fucking dope and like super much needed, you know.
- 11:01Speaker 1: And that concept came up from sitting in the studio
- 11:06Speaker 1: discussing who was better Tyson versus Ali, And my my
- 11:12Speaker 1: thing was, you we never know. It wasn't meant for
- 11:16Speaker 1: us to know because they came from two different eras. Tyson.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Uh looked at the Ali Ali admired Tyson, and it's like,
- 11:26Speaker 1: this is my big buzz. And I'm not saying we Tyson.
- 11:30Speaker 1: They got their own legacies, but this big buzz right
- 11:32Speaker 1: here I learned a lot from this guy, you know
- 11:33Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So when people say, like, yo, like
- 11:37Speaker 1: that's I learned a lot of ship, you could never
- 11:40Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's it's it's literally the
- 11:42Speaker 1: same thing. It's literally the same thing. So I just
- 11:45Speaker 1: want the people understand that when that nigga be killing ship,
- 11:47Speaker 1: I'm going stupid. I'd be like I'd be feeling like
- 11:50Speaker 1: that's me. Yeah, I always tell I mean me and
- 11:54Speaker 1: me and uh a mutual friend of ours. We're talking
- 11:57Speaker 1: and it's like, at any given time over the last
- 12:00Speaker 1: five years, the best rappers alive have been in yourself,
- 12:03Speaker 1: Khan Fred Kendrick when he wants to step out. I mean,
- 12:08Speaker 1: those are really that's the four I got right now,
- 12:11Speaker 1: but like two out of those four are the home team.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Do you feel that way like at any given time,
- 12:20Speaker 1: like you're the greatest rapper alive. Sometimes when I'm in
- 12:26Speaker 1: a booth and I'm just and I'm gassing myself, you
- 12:29Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But my by the way, I
- 12:30Speaker 1: want to throw push your tea in there, because twenty
- 12:32Speaker 1: eighteen was about four years ago and Daytona was up
- 12:34Speaker 1: there this hot think about it, I know I'm up
- 12:37Speaker 1: there with the top niggas. I know I'm up there.
- 12:40Speaker 1: That's that's not a question because that's what it's important
- 12:42Speaker 1: to Conway. You know that he gives a fuck about
- 12:46Speaker 1: that kind of shit. Ye he do as he should. Uh,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I'm up there with the top niggas. But I think
- 12:56Speaker 1: me being who I am and me being what I've
- 12:59Speaker 1: been through, how I the ship that I talk about
- 13:02Speaker 1: that and my personality, Like that's a cheat. Hold you
- 13:05Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because I'm I don't even be
- 13:07Speaker 1: talking like this, but I'm that nigga in real life,
- 13:08Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like not saying
- 13:10Speaker 1: I had this so I've done this. It's just like
- 13:12Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a stand up cool person in real life.
- 13:15Speaker 1: People genuinely like being around me in real life. You
- 13:17Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm not I don't know whatever.
- 13:19Speaker 1: So it's like that helps you. You know what I'm saying.
- 13:22Speaker 1: People want to see me win, People root for me.
- 13:24Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. People genuinely like Benny the Butcher.
- 13:26Speaker 1: You know. Also, so that put me so that put
- 13:29Speaker 1: my name in conversation, right then the people will say
- 13:31Speaker 1: it for you. Ship. That's a fact that people will
- 13:34Speaker 1: say it for you for sure. Man, Conway gives a fuck, though,
- 13:36Speaker 1: Like give that man his respect or he feels some
- 13:39Speaker 1: type of way. He always been like that. Man, he
- 13:42Speaker 1: always been like that. And I feel like, I don't know, man, dude,
- 13:47Speaker 1: Like I put it, I put it. I put a
- 13:48Speaker 1: list at the year list out. I think he was
- 13:50Speaker 1: like three out there. I had kissed number one. He
- 13:53Speaker 1: hit me like, Yo, what the fuck keV. I'm like,
- 13:55Speaker 1: CON's like, come on, man, I do like really like
- 14:00Speaker 1: I just call them like explaining to him. He's like, no,
- 14:03Speaker 1: I respect it. I respect it. I was like, I
- 14:05Speaker 1: like that. That's why you're Conway though, That's why, that's
- 14:07Speaker 1: why you're serious. That's why you're a Jedi, because you
- 14:11Speaker 1: really give a fuck and like it. Like, it'll be
- 14:15Speaker 1: hard for anybody that what I'm saying, if we just
- 14:20Speaker 1: if we're just listening, we're just comparing this to that,
- 14:23Speaker 1: it'd be real hard to pick somebody over him, you
- 14:25Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I agree, I agree. I'm not
- 14:28Speaker 1: naming no names. I'm not saying if it was him,
- 14:30Speaker 1: and it could be a lot of names and just
- 14:32Speaker 1: listening to it'd be real hard, is there? You have
- 14:36Speaker 1: so much going on. We'll get to the BSF album
- 14:38Speaker 1: that's coming out soon, but is there ever gonna be
- 14:42Speaker 1: the Conway Benny tape? Man? I hope so, I hope
- 14:46Speaker 1: so he I got room for it. I don't know
- 14:48Speaker 1: he won't have room for when he finished. I know
- 14:50Speaker 1: you guys got fucking busy schedules. You're running a label,
- 14:54Speaker 1: running a label. We talk about it all the time,
- 14:56Speaker 1: even like playing on starting it. I think we probably
- 15:00Speaker 1: even started. I think it's maybe a song or two
- 15:02Speaker 1: somewhere for it. You gotta be like six songs, that's it,
- 15:04Speaker 1: six to eight records, man, that's all I gotta be.
- 15:06Speaker 1: That's all I gotta be. Be something like bro, just
- 15:08Speaker 1: throw it out there, something like that. I think we
- 15:10Speaker 1: shuld just do it and just throw it out as
- 15:12Speaker 1: like a mixtape, just me and him, no distributors, just
- 15:15Speaker 1: know nothing, straight up, and then fucking do like collab.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Merch The merch will go, creat man, if you guys,
- 15:22Speaker 1: merg will go. It's a half a million dollar merch drop.
- 15:27Speaker 1: That's a fact million, million, billion dollar merch drop. But
- 15:30Speaker 1: that's something that we gotta do man, were just cleaning
- 15:33Speaker 1: this shit up that just that just leaves something that's
- 15:36Speaker 1: just another box we can check off now you I
- 15:39Speaker 1: was just telling you this in the other room. What
- 15:40Speaker 1: I appreciate about Griselda. First of all, I appreciate the
- 15:43Speaker 1: fact that you didn't really ever like signed to Shady,
- 15:49Speaker 1: you like built up your equity. And we'll get to
- 15:52Speaker 1: the death Jam shit in a second, but like just
- 15:54Speaker 1: in general, Griselda, the way that we've only had two
- 15:57Speaker 1: Griselda albums come out on Shady, that the Group Project
- 16:01Speaker 1: and West Side Guns album. And finally we're gonna get
- 16:06Speaker 1: Conway's official debut in February. I believe he's gonna be
- 16:12Speaker 1: here next February twenty fifth. Fucking crazy project by the way.
- 16:18Speaker 1: But to be able to sign somewhere and still put
- 16:23Speaker 1: stuff out independently. Now for people who don't know, you're
- 16:26Speaker 1: on deaf Jam. Now you need to deal with death Jam.
- 16:32Speaker 1: But this album, this J Cole song, which might end
- 16:36Speaker 1: up being your biggest song ever because Cole's on it right, well,
- 16:38Speaker 1: just be honest, like the streams might go fucking out
- 16:40Speaker 1: of this world. It's on Empire still, Indie, what the
- 16:44Speaker 1: fuck's going on how'd you break the system? Man? Man?
- 16:47Speaker 1: It's like, man, that's where the game at right now,
- 16:51Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Where the underground ship with
- 16:53Speaker 1: the industry shit. You know what I'm saying. You see
- 16:55Speaker 1: dudes like Babyface Ray or you know what I mean,
- 16:58Speaker 1: just I could keep it aim and a whole bunch
- 17:00Speaker 1: of niggas who just like you know what I mean.
- 17:03Speaker 1: So my thing is is like you obviously have to
- 17:05Speaker 1: negotiate that with Death Chair, but like Tanna Talk four
- 17:09Speaker 1: is a big album for you, so why the fun
- 17:11Speaker 1: wouldn't they be like, no, we need that over here,
- 17:13Speaker 1: like because they fuck with me and they trust me
- 17:16Speaker 1: and they believe in me. It's about this. It's like, no,
- 17:20Speaker 1: coming from my point of view, I need to I
- 17:22Speaker 1: need to I put my name on that paper. You know,
- 17:25Speaker 1: I owe you know what I'm saying. So it's like this,
- 17:27Speaker 1: I owe obligations to them, and they owe obligations to me.
- 17:30Speaker 1: So to fulfill my obligations, I need to walk in
- 17:33Speaker 1: there with this, Uh Tanna Talk four patch you already
- 17:36Speaker 1: on my cape. I'm also assuming that Tanna Talk four
- 17:38Speaker 1: thing was already worked out with Yeah, And that's another thing, guys,
- 17:41Speaker 1: Basically I'm just saying, is that once you explain to
- 17:43Speaker 1: these people your plans, they understand it. You know what
- 17:47Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, Okay, you get what you negotiat, getting
- 17:49Speaker 1: what you negotiate, they respect that, you know what I mean, Like, Okay,
- 17:52Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, and then you're gonna come over
- 17:53Speaker 1: here like yeah, trust me. And you know, I'm letting
- 17:55Speaker 1: them know, like I'm about to smoke this and then
- 17:57Speaker 1: I'm coming over here. I mean, like, how how many
- 17:59Speaker 1: albums do you m? One that's hit one? God Man,
- 18:09Speaker 1: shout out to my guy Ben what that's a beautiful thing.
- 18:14Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But you know, it's opportunities
- 18:16Speaker 1: for us to do more, you know what I mean.
- 18:18Speaker 1: But and the bag had to be stupid to even
- 18:20Speaker 1: get listen. I mean, I don't know if you remember this,
- 18:23Speaker 1: Like a year ago, you were sitting in there and
- 18:26Speaker 1: you were thinking about you were talking to a bunch
- 18:28Speaker 1: of labels, and I was just telling you, like, bro,
- 18:31Speaker 1: what is this label gonna do for you? You already
- 18:34Speaker 1: have a song with their biggest rapper, You already have
- 18:38Speaker 1: a song with Drake. You were about to be on
- 18:41Speaker 1: a national tour. With Russ. So what can they do
- 18:44Speaker 1: for you besides give you money? And let's be honest,
- 18:48Speaker 1: if you just drop some merch or you just do
- 18:51Speaker 1: what you do, the money's gonna come. So the bag
- 18:55Speaker 1: had to be substantial for you to consider going down
- 18:57Speaker 1: that route. Yeah, definitely, the bag was great. And it's like,
- 19:01Speaker 1: I want to I want to be all over you
- 19:03Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I want to be able to
- 19:05Speaker 1: you already are That's a fact. But you know what
- 19:08Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, I'm trying to cover the fucking
- 19:10Speaker 1: math man. Listen, I understand that. I understand that, and
- 19:13Speaker 1: I hope that def Jam does that for you too.
- 19:18Speaker 1: My my suspicions are you get that bag and you're
- 19:22Speaker 1: gonna be like, you know what, I do it all
- 19:26Speaker 1: this ship myself anyway, Bro, you're fucking I'm telling you
- 19:29Speaker 1: what you what you have. I don't even think you
- 19:31Speaker 1: understand it. Bro, Like I know you, you know your worth,
- 19:34Speaker 1: and I know you know what you're worth. But I'm
- 19:35Speaker 1: just like, bro, like they would they should hire you, now,
- 19:39Speaker 1: that's a fact. They should hire you to help them
- 19:42Speaker 1: with their artists. And it's and it's not all about
- 19:44Speaker 1: the money. Sometimes It's like for me, this this was
- 19:46Speaker 1: another big incentive for me, is that I need to
- 19:49Speaker 1: be in these rooms now. Just think this is real ship.
- 19:53Speaker 1: You're in the rooms. No, no, listen, this is real shit.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I think I was watch which draft was? I watched
- 19:57Speaker 1: it and I saw your ass. I was like this, Mo,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you say that Yeah, NBA draft Ship? She was crazy.
- 20:04Speaker 1: You're at the you gotta beat that, right, NBA ship,
- 20:08Speaker 1: Rock Nation Brunch. Everything all off of my cousin's getting
- 20:12Speaker 1: a record deal. And you know what I'm saying, all
- 20:14Speaker 1: off of that off your work as a quality of
- 20:17Speaker 1: what you do. Yeah, so imagine when but trust me,
- 20:20Speaker 1: when you're in this business, you know that it was
- 20:23Speaker 1: still a lot of people who gave beneath that cold
- 20:25Speaker 1: shoulder because I wasn't the one with the Jewish fucking welcome.
- 20:29Speaker 1: That's a fact. But fuck him. But now I can
- 20:32Speaker 1: get in certain wombs and I could. You know what
- 20:33Speaker 1: I'm saying. Now, certain people gotta shake my hand. You
- 20:36Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Well, listen to me, trust me, brother,
- 20:40Speaker 1: I got love for you, genuine love. And I hope
- 20:42Speaker 1: that you're I hope that this works. You're you're you're richer.
- 20:47Speaker 1: It already hasn't that's exactly has already worked already. But
- 20:51Speaker 1: all the ship we're talking about, like fam you got
- 20:54Speaker 1: a song with Drake. You just dropped a song with
- 20:56Speaker 1: j Cole independently. He did the fucking video. Fuck the room.

- 21:03Speaker 1: I'm someone hit you that Cold Shorter, fuck them, and
- 21:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you what I'm talking about. It's not
- 21:08Speaker 1: even though it's not even like rappers, it's like business
- 21:10Speaker 1: shit because it's certain things that I'm trying to do.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I got movies coming out. I know you're on your
- 21:15Speaker 1: acting shit, We're gonna get to that exactly. I got
- 21:16Speaker 1: you got the sports agency, sports agency, like, I got
- 21:19Speaker 1: so much shit that I'm trying to do that these moves,
- 21:23Speaker 1: these moves don't even be about the music. A lot
- 21:25Speaker 1: of times it'd be about my next move, you know
- 21:27Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So hey, it's Chest not Checkers. That's
- 21:30Speaker 1: a fact. And to be honest with you, I love
- 21:32Speaker 1: everybody at Depth cham you know what. I'm good people.
- 21:34Speaker 1: And Snoop's the man. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
- 21:37Speaker 1: And it's transparency. Over there and it's all that, and
- 21:39Speaker 1: that's what I That's what I needed before I did
- 21:41Speaker 1: some ship like that with a major label, because I
- 21:42Speaker 1: could have done a shit years ago. I saw Snoop
- 21:44Speaker 1: was the closer. I watched a little bit of the
- 21:46Speaker 1: Breakfast Club interview and it seemed like Snoop kind of
- 21:48Speaker 1: closed the deal. He did, he did, And I what
- 21:50Speaker 1: does Snoop say to you? Because listen, Snoop Dogg is,
- 21:54Speaker 1: in my opinion, the most famous rapper of all time.
- 21:58Speaker 1: I'm talking about fame, right. My grandma knows who Snoop is.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Your grandma knows who Snoop is. My grandma don't know
- 22:05Speaker 1: who Drake is, but my grandma knows who the fuck

- 22:14Speaker 1: pull up to the compound in Inglewood? Yeah? Yeah, I

- 22:31Speaker 1: then we just we just liked the exchange numbers, and
- 22:33Speaker 1: then we just kept talking from there, and he just
- 22:35Speaker 1: put it in perspective, you know what I'm saying, because
- 22:37Speaker 1: he just broke it down, you know, with his business,
- 22:39Speaker 1: with his labels and all that shit. It just be
- 22:41Speaker 1: real corporate ly and all that. He just like, let's

- 25:40Speaker 1: greatest NFL game I've watched? And I don't know, maybe
- 25:43Speaker 1: my entire life. That was probably the best. I mean,
- 25:45Speaker 1: that's the top five game ever, but some some are
- 25:47Speaker 1: saying it is the best game ever. Chiefs first Bills.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Obviously unfortunately you your Bills never got to touch the
- 25:53Speaker 1: ball on in overtime. How was it? How was that experience? Man?
- 25:57Speaker 1: It was dope. It was heartbreaking first and foremost, though
- 26:00Speaker 1: I can imagine because I'm a Bills fan. I didn't
- 26:01Speaker 1: want to see the I an't wanna I didn't want
- 26:03Speaker 1: to lose because I was there the previous year, so
- 26:08Speaker 1: it was fucked up. But it took me about two
- 26:10Speaker 1: days after I got over the ship to realize, like, yo,
- 26:13Speaker 1: he was at one of the best games ever. I'm
- 26:15Speaker 1: like then then I'm like, damn, he was there. I
- 26:18Speaker 1: was on the sidelines. I'm like, damn, he was there.
- 26:21Speaker 1: So when they look back at this ship, that's gonna
- 26:25Speaker 1: be some good footage. I felt like, you know, I
- 26:27Speaker 1: felt like, remember when Hammer was on the field, Dion,
- 26:31Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's that's how I felt.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold you. We're gonna look back and
- 26:34Speaker 1: be like, Yo, you were at the Allen versus my
- 26:36Speaker 1: homes no real ship. I was there. I was there
- 26:38Speaker 1: on the field, chapter whatever. Because these guys are gonna
- 26:41Speaker 1: be going at it for I don't know how many
- 26:43Speaker 1: years them boys are gonna be going at it, but
- 26:45Speaker 1: it seems like it's gonna be a while. And then
- 26:48Speaker 1: Joey Burrow, Now, yeah, only for the Chiefs to get
- 26:50Speaker 1: fucking beat by the Bengals the next week. You guys
- 26:54Speaker 1: would have stomped the Bengals and we fuck with I
- 26:56Speaker 1: felt like we would have, but we fucked with the
- 26:58Speaker 1: Bengals because you know, I'm saying, they like donated money,
- 27:01Speaker 1: uh last year and ship to us. Really know, what
- 27:05Speaker 1: I'm saying. And the chief you know, the Kansas City
- 27:07Speaker 1: Chiefs too, they donated money to us too, after the
- 27:09Speaker 1: after that lost. When you say donated money to us,
- 27:11Speaker 1: who's us? Buffalo? Oh? Nice buffalo like children's hospital? Okay, okay,
- 27:15Speaker 1: I'm like, do you got a BSF charity? I don't know,
- 27:18Speaker 1: motherfucking like a half a million dollars? That's big bro.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Shout out to hey, shout out. Yeah. You know I
- 27:22Speaker 1: like that too, because nowadays I feel like we always
- 27:24Speaker 1: see fans fighting in the crowd and it's always like,
- 27:26Speaker 1: so man, people treat sports like gangs and be annoying
- 27:29Speaker 1: the show because fuck you, we went the war with
- 27:31Speaker 1: the fans were sitting in the sections, nobody there. We
- 27:34Speaker 1: got ten seats, but everybody else is KC fans, right,
- 27:37Speaker 1: So it's like, man, when they thought it was over,
- 27:40Speaker 1: you know, they was, they was getting with us, but
- 27:43Speaker 1: they've seen us triumphantly come back, and then they did
- 27:46Speaker 1: what they did and came back. So by the end
- 27:48Speaker 1: of it, like we was going like, yeah, the fuck down,
- 27:50Speaker 1: shut up. By the end of the game, we was
- 27:51Speaker 1: hugging each other like like we respect y'all. You know what,
- 27:54Speaker 1: you know, what. I know what they were saying. They
- 27:56Speaker 1: was like about the looks at this, we're gonna play
- 27:59Speaker 1: y'all next year, but at home, y'all gonna be at
- 28:00Speaker 1: home and doing this for this game next year. And

- 29:37Speaker 1: what I mean, do I gotta say? And I mean,
- 29:38Speaker 1: Griselda put lifeblood back in a certain genre of music.
- 29:42Speaker 1: This is true. But I do think there's a few
- 29:45Speaker 1: people who's like who who like that? Banning co sign
- 29:47Speaker 1: is really of course, of course, and it is nothing
- 29:49Speaker 1: wrong with that because people helped me. My ship was
- 29:51Speaker 1: created by Westside Gun and Conway. And it's about what
- 29:53Speaker 1: you do with the opportunity, So be honest with you.
- 29:57Speaker 1: It's some people get opportunities who don't do ship with them.
- 29:59Speaker 1: So anybodybody who make your moves off of an opportunity,
- 30:02Speaker 1: somebody give it to him. That's really your head, like
- 30:05Speaker 1: do your ship because it was a niggas who's posted
- 30:07Speaker 1: to been capable of doing it, who ain't who dropped
- 30:09Speaker 1: the ball? And there's niggas who you didn't expect to
- 30:12Speaker 1: hold it down. Who holding it down and they flourish it.
- 30:14Speaker 1: That's some real ship man, that's real. How many okay?
- 30:18Speaker 1: You know? Usually every year it just depends, I guess
- 30:20Speaker 1: how you're feeling for the year. But how many projects
- 30:22Speaker 1: are we getting from me this year? Ten to talk for?
- 30:26Speaker 1: I'm doing a BSF comp mother fucking Depth Jam debut album.
- 30:31Speaker 1: You'll be honest with you, do you think you think
- 30:33Speaker 1: I should drop that this year? I don't know. I'm asking,
- 30:36Speaker 1: I don't think so, I mean if you're gonna wait,
- 30:37Speaker 1: like Conway is gonna come on in seven years, I
- 30:39Speaker 1: don't think so. I'll be ready. I'll be ready top
- 30:40Speaker 1: of the year, top of the year. That's what I
- 30:42Speaker 1: feel like you have. Are you able to drop some
- 30:44Speaker 1: more independent ship though? Yeah? Okay, so we might get
- 30:47Speaker 1: another and for okay, look it's like this. You know
- 30:50Speaker 1: we're gonna do the We're gonna do the singles off
- 30:52Speaker 1: the compilation Long Live Shay and then even with depth Jam,
- 30:58Speaker 1: I could do some singles. It's not like I'm going
- 31:01Speaker 1: to go hide at nothing. I just do some some
- 31:02Speaker 1: shit to warm up, you know what I mean. So
- 31:04Speaker 1: I'm assuming that we're never going to get the Drake song.
- 31:06Speaker 1: It's never going to see the light of day. And
- 31:10Speaker 1: you know what, probably not. Maybe just the moment passed.
- 31:14Speaker 1: That's what I think, to be honest with you, that's
- 31:16Speaker 1: what I really think. I think the moment passed. But
- 31:18Speaker 1: it's a dope song. It's so it's always songs like that.
- 31:21Speaker 1: The thing about Me didn't leak yeah, hell yeah. So
- 31:24Speaker 1: so people can go listen to it, So people can
- 31:26Speaker 1: go listen to this, damn it route. It's a It's
- 31:28Speaker 1: a dope record, but I think it might be more
- 31:30Speaker 1: opportunities to do ship. And people heard it. Most of
- 31:35Speaker 1: the people who need to hear they heard the record already.
- 31:37Speaker 1: You know, I've heard it. I like the little fake
- 31:38Speaker 1: name they called it. What they call it Buffalo. I
- 31:40Speaker 1: don't know. I just heard it when you played it
- 31:42Speaker 1: for me. I just found out, like no, I found
- 31:45Speaker 1: I found that it eleaked recently, and I was like, oh,
- 31:48Speaker 1: I had no idea leaked. A moment passed. You know.
- 31:50Speaker 1: I'm saying everybody was hype about it and ship like that,
- 31:52Speaker 1: but if we dropped that ship right now on DSP
- 31:54Speaker 1: should go crazy. But just because people want to hear
- 31:57Speaker 1: us together, that's the thing about me, Like people be
- 31:59Speaker 1: excited when I rap with people and or other people
- 32:02Speaker 1: rat with me. You know what I'm saying. That's what
- 32:03Speaker 1: I learned from just watching how this shit go. You
- 32:06Speaker 1: had to be super happy for Kahn to get the
- 32:08Speaker 1: whole record, right, But I know how important that is
- 32:12Speaker 1: for you. I know that's a big deal for Benny.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, to get that whole feature. Conway got
- 32:18Speaker 1: it first, fact as he should, as he should write.
- 32:21Speaker 1: But I'm just curious, is there any more progress into
- 32:25Speaker 1: a Benny and J record ever happening. You're on rock Nation,
- 32:30Speaker 1: that should be that should count towards something. But this
- 32:33Speaker 1: is the thing I don't think. I don't think whole
- 32:36Speaker 1: for like, he got to do records with everybody who
- 32:38Speaker 1: want to you know what I'm saying, But you're the butcher.
- 32:40Speaker 1: That's what everybody's saying. That's just not anybody. That's how
- 32:44Speaker 1: everybody feel. But like I said, people just be excited
- 32:48Speaker 1: for people to rat with this nigga, and I love that.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I love that. I love that about my supporters and
- 32:56Speaker 1: my fans. They want to see people rat with me.
- 32:58Speaker 1: What I loved about the album is obviously just this
- 33:02Speaker 1: little old me the Drink record record. We whole. You're
- 33:07Speaker 1: not on Donda like white people. It's kind of crazy.
- 33:11Speaker 1: You're not on Donna people when they forget about that,
- 33:13Speaker 1: look at these people who look at these names. And
- 33:16Speaker 1: the only reason you were on Donna really was white
- 33:18Speaker 1: because you didn't end up making that wyoming trip with
- 33:20Speaker 1: because because like, because what happened with that, I was,
- 33:23Speaker 1: I was, I went out there, but uh I had
- 33:26Speaker 1: to uh fucking I had to go home and do
- 33:30Speaker 1: some ship for my daughter to be honest with you first,
- 33:33Speaker 1: just like that, I was wyoming for two days. Are
- 33:37Speaker 1: you on? Are you on push your T's album? Mm hmm, okay,
- 33:40Speaker 1: I gotta just ask because you know you say this
- 33:42Speaker 1: album here, I'm like, you know you we might need that?
- 33:44Speaker 1: Uh that part two on that thing I've been I've
- 33:47Speaker 1: been seeing that. I've been seeing that. Like I said,
- 33:49Speaker 1: people people want people to rat with me. What I
- 33:52Speaker 1: must be that nigga. I ain't gonna hold you, man,
- 33:54Speaker 1: I must be that nigga. I'm about to go. I'm
- 33:56Speaker 1: gonna go research myself. I'm gonna do my own research
- 33:58Speaker 1: Google and get looking at my accolades because people be
- 34:01Speaker 1: wanting to see people rap with me. Man, you have
- 34:04Speaker 1: so much chemistry with Alchemists, Derringer, hit Boy, Obviously the
- 34:12Speaker 1: dynamics all have to be very different those my guys. Yeah,
- 34:17Speaker 1: with this project, Darrenger and al handling the production. Was that, like,
- 34:25Speaker 1: did they work together on beats on a lot of
- 34:28Speaker 1: this stuff? Uh? Damn. It's hard to answer that question
- 34:32Speaker 1: because I feel like they always work together on beats
- 34:35Speaker 1: because I don't seen them both in the studio working
- 34:39Speaker 1: on shit now going through shit and they're like, yeah,
- 34:41Speaker 1: that's doube board, I mean vice versa. So I don't
- 34:44Speaker 1: feel like have they produced a beat together on this.
- 34:46Speaker 1: I don't think I could, But I think they like
- 34:48Speaker 1: they do shit like that all the time. What I'm saying,
- 34:50Speaker 1: I recorded over Deringer tracks with Al in the room.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I recorded recorded over Al tracks with Deringer in the room.
- 34:57Speaker 1: So it's like it's a collective for them. They they
- 34:59Speaker 1: most like gonna uh have a say so on how
- 35:02Speaker 1: the records, the playlist of the records. I know Wes
- 35:06Speaker 1: does that too, you know what I'm saying. So your
- 35:09Speaker 1: uh affiliation with hit Boy, I'm hoping results in you
- 35:14Speaker 1: and Nas doing something that would be dope. I feel
- 35:18Speaker 1: like that. It's uh like I Mike, I gotta I
- 35:20Speaker 1: got a record I never played that. I got a
- 35:22Speaker 1: record with Nas that that I never put out. Really,
- 35:25Speaker 1: I didn't know that boy was gonna use it for
- 35:27Speaker 1: Burning Proof, So what the fuck? That's the problem. I
- 35:31Speaker 1: I gotta stop saying this shit to people because they're
- 35:32Speaker 1: gonna go, great, that's gonna be bitty record with Nas,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and people are gonna be asking me about the Burning Proof.
- 35:36Speaker 1: That's that's what it be about. That's burning proof too
- 35:39Speaker 1: coming soon, I'll be telling too much of my business
- 35:41Speaker 1: in these interviews, leting people know what I got going on.
- 35:43Speaker 1: You got records with you got fucking meek Mail records,
- 35:45Speaker 1: you got records Like, I'm just like, bro, what is like?
- 35:47Speaker 1: This guy's got records with the biggest motherfuckers alive and
- 35:49Speaker 1: we gonna get him. This guy's just got a NAS record,
- 35:52Speaker 1: tuck like, you know, I gotta I do got one.
- 35:54Speaker 1: But now it's like it just didn't make I guess
- 35:56Speaker 1: that one. I guess the NAS verse didn't make the cut. Huh.
- 36:00Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why, but I
- 36:03Speaker 1: feel like something will Esco would be crazy, something with Drake,
- 36:08Speaker 1: something would hold, something will push those are dudes on
- 36:11Speaker 1: fans up. So that's why I speak about doing features
- 36:14Speaker 1: with all the niggas. You know what I'm saying. You
- 36:16Speaker 1: know what I would like to hear. And this is
- 36:18Speaker 1: gonna sound so random. I think if NICKI did some
- 36:22Speaker 1: rap shit and like you and Nicky might be kind
- 36:25Speaker 1: of tough, bro, because I'm thinking, like when finish Benny
- 36:28Speaker 1: the Butcher and Nikki record. When Nikki first came out,

- 47:29Speaker 1: you're not on Griselda anymore. Obviously your family, obviously you're
- 47:33Speaker 1: still gonna represent that shit, but like contractually, like is

- 50:28Speaker 1: went to the house that a gun grew up in
- 50:32Speaker 1: and uh, I was like, Okay, this is I get
- 50:34Speaker 1: it now, Like I understand Like when you guys say
- 50:39Speaker 1: when when Conway said Buffalo is the murder capital of
- 50:41Speaker 1: the country, check the numbers and stats or whatever on
- 50:43Speaker 1: that jet song. I was like, I was there. I
- 50:45Speaker 1: believe it so pretty fucking you know, it's a place
- 50:48Speaker 1: that needs a lot of love, a lot of rebuilding.
- 50:50Speaker 1: It feels like there's a lot of shutdown businesses. It's
- 50:53Speaker 1: just like, dude, I've never seen somebody run a city
- 50:56Speaker 1: like that. Though, Like no matter where we went, it
- 50:58Speaker 1: was BSF. It was Benny Merchant, was Griselda Merchant was
- 51:02Speaker 1: everywhere we went. And that's back home, man, I bro billboards,
- 51:06Speaker 1: fucking people just walking down the street like I've never
- 51:09Speaker 1: seen somebody run a city like that, like yo, Like
- 51:12Speaker 1: you see how the Bill's mafia is they like that
- 51:16Speaker 1: because it's like, man, like, they ain't have nothing to
- 51:18Speaker 1: root for. The new era storage disappointed me though. The
- 51:22Speaker 1: new store was terrible. But anyway, no, they got to
- 51:24Speaker 1: give you the tour. What I'm saying, the tour and
- 51:26Speaker 1: walk I ain't get the tour. Whatever they had in
- 51:28Speaker 1: that fucking front room was terrible. But no, but you're
- 51:31Speaker 1: saying they need people to root for. That's what they do, man.
- 51:34Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like it's a place
- 51:35Speaker 1: like that. So anytime we get somebody to to root
- 51:38Speaker 1: for and champion on, we're gonna do it, especially if
- 51:40Speaker 1: they from the hometown. Have you got to chop it
- 51:42Speaker 1: up with Josh Allen at all? Mm hmm, that's like
- 51:45Speaker 1: the guy you want to like, you gotta get that's Josh.
- 51:48Speaker 1: I don't need to be bothering him. I needed we
- 51:50Speaker 1: need a champion. It's like Tom Brady you know, like
- 51:52Speaker 1: that Tom Brady, you know he is man, I might
- 51:54Speaker 1: turnish his reputation like I just want to be your friend, bro,
- 51:58Speaker 1: I might tarnish his reputation like yo, Josh Allen one night?
- 52:01Speaker 1: Is that the because they're hanging out with in the
- 52:03Speaker 1: studio with with Benny the Butcher, that'd be pretty crazy.
- 52:08Speaker 1: You get him to do a fucking skit on an album,
- 52:10Speaker 1: what them boys not trying to a person like him?
- 52:16Speaker 1: Or you get Kelly on a skit. He need that,
- 52:18Speaker 1: he need that mahomes contract man, ah, it's coming that.
- 52:22Speaker 1: They don't want him. He can't be in no studio
- 52:24Speaker 1: with me. They like, no, we ain't paying him that money.
- 52:27Speaker 1: You got to get out the studio with the Butcher.
- 52:28Speaker 1: You in the studio would be a seth Griselda. Come on, man,
- 52:32Speaker 1: it's a good place to be, all right. So he
- 52:35Speaker 1: probably end up being there anyway, but the people who
- 52:37Speaker 1: paying him can't know. So we've established there's at least
- 52:39Speaker 1: two projects coming out the rest of the year. That's
- 52:41Speaker 1: a fact. Maybe more maybe more features, uh, any features
- 52:47Speaker 1: that you're super excited about that you you've been able
- 52:50Speaker 1: to link with because you're kind it is, but I can't.

- 55:01Speaker 1: how hard I had to work for this ship, you
- 55:03Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I come in with West,
- 55:05Speaker 1: I come in with Cardway. I don't think a lot
- 55:07Speaker 1: of people understand that I that I put put aside
- 55:12Speaker 1: a lot of shit. I gotta work so hard for
- 55:14Speaker 1: this ship. I don't think. I don't know, man, that
- 55:18Speaker 1: it's just a whole bunch of shit. I don't think
- 55:19Speaker 1: people really understand that, you know, I came from I
- 55:23Speaker 1: came from that cloth. I was eighteen in federal prison.
- 55:26Speaker 1: I said, I say, you came from being in prison,
- 55:28Speaker 1: not knowing. You know what I'm saying, like people understand that,
- 55:31Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because not saying that these dudes,
- 55:33Speaker 1: these guys and my peers ain't never done that, because
- 55:35Speaker 1: we are just saying we all be doing that, not
- 55:37Speaker 1: glorifying nothing. But you know, I'm I'm a I'm a
- 55:41Speaker 1: real member. Not saying that I'm the toughest armor because
- 55:44Speaker 1: that's that's that's not what I stand on. But I'm
- 55:47Speaker 1: a real member. Man. You know, my mom had eight kids,
- 55:50Speaker 1: you know what I mean, single mom, been through foster homes,
- 55:55Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And just just with that,
- 55:57Speaker 1: I'm not a nigga who got lucky with a song.
- 56:00Speaker 1: I mean worked exactly. So it's like all of that
- 56:04Speaker 1: and and I studied this ship, and I mean I
- 56:06Speaker 1: study how to get on because I didn't, you know
- 56:08Speaker 1: what I'm saying, everything fell into place, But I study
- 56:10Speaker 1: like like rapping. I always listened to this ship. I
- 56:13Speaker 1: wrote bars down other rappers. What I'm saying just basically
- 56:17Speaker 1: like I was supposed to be here, and I'm a
- 56:18Speaker 1: person who got here like purely from the work, not
- 56:22Speaker 1: no luck, shit, not no nothing, and sacrifice exactly because
- 56:26Speaker 1: I can only imagine being like perceived as like you
- 56:30Speaker 1: know when Gun and Conway were going to those stations
- 56:33Speaker 1: and you would rap it's time. I mean, you got children, bro,
- 56:37Speaker 1: like you're a grown ass man. You ain't some kid
- 56:38Speaker 1: who ain't got responsibilities and ship that shit ain't paying
- 56:41Speaker 1: you at the moment. You know. Fact, that's a lot
- 56:44Speaker 1: of sacrifice, man. I remember telling I remember, because I
- 56:49Speaker 1: always held it down for my kids. They always call
- 56:52Speaker 1: and ask for shit. I remember when I was I
- 56:54Speaker 1: was really about to buckle down and do this I had,
- 56:57Speaker 1: they was calling me. I had to tell tell their mom, like, yo,
- 57:01Speaker 1: let them have a talk with them. I don't let
- 57:03Speaker 1: them know, like they can't be calling me asking me
- 57:05Speaker 1: for shit right now because I'm focusing on some things
- 57:08Speaker 1: I'm going through signing. Because I didn't want to tell them,
- 57:10Speaker 1: but they needed to know, you know what I'm saying,
- 57:11Speaker 1: So they eased up off me. She told him, you
- 57:15Speaker 1: know what I'm saying about like six months, I was
- 57:18Speaker 1: back in a position where I was doing shit for him,
- 57:20Speaker 1: but like better it took like you had to like
- 57:22Speaker 1: real shit like that, you know what I mean. That's
- 57:25Speaker 1: fucking crazy. What was the last time you had a job?
- 57:30Speaker 1: Like when was that time where you finally quit your job? Like?
- 57:33Speaker 1: What was that job? Like that you actually were getting
- 57:36Speaker 1: a paycheck for when when I came home and I

- 58:04Speaker 1: and then you come home for a couple months, and
- 58:06Speaker 1: then you go back and then you come back. It's like, yeah,
