• 2:06
  Speaker 1: did the McQueen Summer Party thing. We did the McQueen
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Party for sure, which was you know, the whole, the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: whole entire pandemic had motherfuckers doing weird ass ship like
• 2:15

• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had it. You never caught it. I did,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: he did. I feel like we all did. I caught
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it that week when LA had like opened up like
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: pump faked on us, and I went to Noble and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I went to the studio and then I couldn't taste
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and smell anything. I remember that. That was like I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: remember it was like end of May or was it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: June's It was early June. It was early June, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: everybody it was like, all of a sudden, this mental
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: thing happened where we all just thought it was over.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I was in fucking Scottsdale turning the fuck up DJing,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and I got I got caught with the pump fake yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And then I was like, wait a minute, I can't smell.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's the word. I mean. I could still taste and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have any like crazy symptoms outside of that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It was random. I was eating breakfast and I was like,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't taste the orange juice. I'm like, this is weird.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just like bad orange juice or something. So
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'll go upstairs. I got all these essential oils and stuff,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm like shoving peppermint up my nose and I'm like, no,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I can't smell nothing. Yeah. My wife was cooking and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I couldn't smell anything, and I was like, oh fuck,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I just got home from from like a weekend on dazy. Yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and my dog has like this little piece of grass,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like artificial grass that he'd be shitting on sometimes, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: there was like a turret on it. And I was like, yo,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this is the ultimate test. So I got down. I said,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't smell this shit in front
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of my I got COVID and then just the whole
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: crib ended up with it. So the shit test. Yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we were locked down, man. But yeah, I mean it
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: feels like everybody's kind of finally getting through. Did you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: get vaccinated? No, I didn't get vaccinated. Are you like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: not going to do it or I'm not just hasn't happened,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: totally against it? Yeah, it just hasn't happened yet. They
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: talking all that shit about traveling and stuff like that. Yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it'll probably help you specifically, some of these countries. You know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not against it. I'm just not in any rush either.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I hear you. I get both sides, Like I got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: homies that are like yo, like I want to see
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the first year of this ship past that makes sense
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and then let's see you know, because like a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of people got the Johnson and Johnson one and then
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they pulled that ship off the shelf. Right, So yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I got I just got my ship out the way though,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you got it? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people who think people are
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: stupid forgetting it. There's I mean, you know, it's probably
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: going to be some type of consequences. We'll fucking see.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: What kind of consequences do you think though? Uh? Me personally? Yeah?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Population control, Yeah, I do. I mean, listen, the population
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: control dark hole is a serious one, especially when you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: start considering, like just I feel like there's so much
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: shit going on. When we start talking about like elon
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Musk and going to planets and you know, the resources
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on Earth at the rate that we're creating people, it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: like it's some something's gotta give eventually. I don't know
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna be here when it happens, but I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: could see that. Yeah, it's real. It's real. I mean,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and there's there's people that twisted to come up with
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: stuff to actually do that. Well, you know. And the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: other thing too, is like the idea that COVID came
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: from a lab was so frowned upon initially when you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: would say that, because you know, it's fucked up like nowadays,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like if you if you have any sort of perspective
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: or bring up any sort of opinion that doesn't go
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: with either side of you know, society, they label you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: as the other side, you know what I mean. So
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: it's like, hey, there is some like real clues that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: would make you think that this came from a lab.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But if you said that a year ago, people be
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: like you're a Maga Trump freak. But it's like, wait,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like it's not. It's possible to like think for yourself
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes without you having to be on you know. Yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, this thing it gave, It gave
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a lot, even just the vaccinations. It just gives a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: lot of people some ship to argue about everything. Man,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Oh I got one, Oh I don't have one. Oh
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I want one. Oh you don't want one. Oh, you're
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: dumb for one and one oh, you're stupid for not
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: wanting one. I just want to stay off Twitter and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the internet. Man. It just gives people some ship to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: argue about the brands of fucking uh vaccinations, give people
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: bragging rights and ship like that. I'm I'm aderna mommy.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yo, you haven't heard again. It sounds about right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I stay away from all that stuff. It's weird. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: stay away from I know you got to because you're
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: in it every day, like you have to report back
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: on that ship. But me, like, I keep it so
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: far away because like it becomes your reality after a while,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Like it also fucks with your energy. Yeah, I mean,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I feel like you've done
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a really good job of I don't like, I don't
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: ever see Whiz participating in just bullshit online. No, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: know my place, and you know, like you'll throw a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: thought out there and then everyone else will react to it. Yeah,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you'll throw some shit out there, like, yo, don't be
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: around me if you're smoking backwards right, and then it'll
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: go on every fucking like hip hop meme page and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: then everyone chimes in and then you're your price smoking
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, like on some g ship, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: don't even look at this stuff afterwards, Like I'll say
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: something and then I'll just sit my phone down. That's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: how you almost got to do it. Otherwise you drive
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: yourself crazy reading comment You drop fucking three interviews a week,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and if I dived into the comments on these interviews, nah, God,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but a culture vulture. I just go on about my day, like, yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I don't even realize how many people I pissed off.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But it's cool though, because people need to be pissed off.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: People need to you know, have conversations, like you said,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: like alternative conversations with it. I just think that we've
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: gotten to the point. And you know, I think the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Trump shit is a lot to blame with this where
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: everyone is so tribal with their thoughts to where like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you know, if you don't agree on everything over here,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that side will just tell you to go fuck themselves.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You know. I was talking to Killer Mike, and uh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Mike is a big gun advocate, right, which
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is okay, but like he's also with Bernie Sanders in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Alabama advocating for unions for Amazon workers. But there's like
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: people who like agree with Killer Mike on everything else
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that will hang him out the dry because he believes
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: in the Second Amendment, And it's like, what the fuck, Like, yeah,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you should be able to believe in whatever you want to.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I just talk about it too. That's the real part,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is like you really can't say shit, you know what
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like, it shouldn't be like that to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: where one conversation will just spark everybody calling you these
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: names or thinking you're just like we can we can
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: just talk about it. Maybe I need to learn some
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: shit that I didn't even fucking know a point of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: view on it or whatever whatever. But to be able
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to bring the conversation up and not have to, you know,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: be boxed in or labeled, Oh my god, and I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: have your whole day ruin by you know, other people's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: opinions that you don't deserve all of that. That's one
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. It's crazy. Did you you know? I'm a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: big Joe Rogan fan, and I went there, uh with
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: up Freddie gibbson this podcast, like a couple of months ago.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: We went out there, Yeah, did rooms with Joe? Oh sweet,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: My fucking face was melted off. Y'all did this rooms
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: on the show. No, no, no, we did him that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: night at a comedy show. I didn't get that. Look.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It was rough, y'all ate just like regular. So I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: fucked up because I had an edible uh huh, like
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a a pretty strong edible. And then I trooms and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I was drinking like a fish. And then we went
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to sixth sixth Halve or sixth Street, sixth Street and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we went bar hopping and bro Texas. Yeah in Austin, Yeah,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: because he moved his show down. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: So it was probably a really it was a really
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: rough trip for me because I really thought that like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we were gonna get killed. I was paranoid as fuck.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I thought everybody was trying to like smoke Freddy. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was like, bro, we don't end up like pop smoke
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: out here. Bro. Like I was really freaking the fuck out.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: And then I got and then I just woke up
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in my hotel room. It was rough. But but you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: went on the Rogan Show, which I thought was super dope.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Did you get like, I feel like that's another guy
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: who were talking about who like he just speaks freely
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: for three or four hours at a time, so he's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: bound to say some ship that can piss any people off.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Did you get any like blowback from anybody? For no, man,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Actually I got a lot of love from that. Of course.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It was a great interview. Thank you appreciate it. You
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: guys were fun. We were I just woke up. I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: was really excited to do it first of all, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: then when I got there, there was no like real
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: format or any thing. It was just like, yo, just
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: sit down and we just start talking. So yeah, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: mean the vibe that I got from him, and of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: course is authentic and he's a cool ass dude. But
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: he just says what he thinks is real and what
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he believes, and if he believes it, he believes it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: If he doesn't, he'll ask you and talk to you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: But he's not really going to challenge your opinion. He's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: just going to say what he believes. And I'm I'm
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: cool with that, like everybody's standing on. Also, like the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: fact he's very open to your perspective, right, like he'd
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: be like, oh shit, I didn't even look at it
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that way, you know what I mean? Like he has
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: people from all sides. Nobody get on there and argue
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: with Joe, they just talk. Everybody just talks, but they
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't always agree. They're not saying the same exact thing,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: but they're not fucking going back and forth. And shit,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like if the world was like, they'd be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: bad because we's just yelling at each other. Yeah, I mean,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we're tweeting at each other really with lots of caps. Man,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it's weird. I don't even fuck with a lot of
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: that type of stuff. Y'all are my homies, so it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: like y'all can get anything, you know what I mean.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But really, like on the outside and you know, just
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: shock value and all that stuff click bait. It's a dark,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: real scary place. And I take that shit personally, like
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: for real, for real, if somebody uses me for a headline,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that's not cool. Like that's not what we're in it for.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So even try to set people up like that and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: make things out of I've never been in it for that. Well.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like you also don't do a lot of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: like you do interviews, but you're not like you don't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do like a lot of sit down shit, like you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like I feel like I was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: just thinking about it earlier today. I don't. I don't
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: do a lot of that, but well I do, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't go crazy because nobody fucks with me like nobody.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And I feel like you're very good. When someone tries
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to hit you with one of those got your joints,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you just shut that shit down. Yeah, for sure. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: mean it's it's definitely a mutual respect where I'm like, Okay,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. You got to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: try to get these questions off. But I'm not gonna
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: break my character or you know, my integrity for your headlines.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: You did what I'm saying. We're gonna keep it light,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna keep it cool. And if that's not interesting,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: then you don't even want whiz. You know what I'm saying.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm not coming here for no drama or no bullshit.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And I think people really understand that, and they don't
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: really approach me with that. They don't try to bring
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that out. And yeah, I feel very fortunate to have
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that be a part of my career. You dig, yeah
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Man, are you still heavy in the gym?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Because man, your transformation just as a dude, Yeah, it's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: pretty serious. Little as hell, bro, I mean yeah, like
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you were whiz just skinny, skinny, tall, skinny
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: cat and then all of a sudden you're yoked up
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: doing kickboxing and all that, man, And it was definitely
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: like inspiring to see like how committed you were to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: not only like getting bigger and getting like stronger, but
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: also just the the fighting shit. That's like it felt
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like you were like you're all in on that. Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Like for me, like I'm not trying to be the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: biggest dude in the world, the biggest gym freak or
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: anything like that. I think I just kind of started
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: just to learn. And the more that I started that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I would be able to put like the gym aspect
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: just into life or music or whatever, art, creativity, science,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: excuse me, it all just made more sense and kind
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of tied in. And of course you get the physical
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: benefits from it if you stick with it. Like you
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: can't just do what I did in like six to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: eight months. It takes years to like transform your body,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I'm still in the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: process of you know, keeping it going. And because you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: were you were trained with Jake lasers. Yeah, yeah, still
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I still am there, yeh. And yeah. I mean, you know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of layers to that bro Like there's
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: there's the business layers. I became an owner in the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: PFL that, Yeah, we got gems all over. I'm going
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to have my own protein and shake and stuff like that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Like based off of it, there's like the family aspect.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I know so many fighters around the country, around the world.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We can go to any gym, we can go to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: any you know what I mean. It feels like when
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you have something like that in common zone, it's almost
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: like a brotherhood because you're like in your most vulnerable
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: space with these guys training, sweating, like you know what
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I mean. Like you're probably as a rapper, you're so
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: used to being in situations where you're that motherfucker, Like Yo,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you're headlining every show you're on, everyone's there to see you.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: You go to a gym with a bunch of killers,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you're in a different position. It's
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: definitely humbling. And you know, anybody who comes from like
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: our position, we just want to learn. So I feel
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: like that was always my goal. So when you get
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to a point and rap where I'm at, where you're
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: not really learning too much right, anybody around here. You
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: want to be the new guy at something, and you
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: want to have you've mastered the rap game. You want
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: some OG's around you. You don't want to you know
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: what I mean, always be the one who everybody's looking
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: two for everything, And the gym definitely allows me to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: do that. With the PFL, how did you get involved
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in that? Because for people that there's like they just
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: did an ESPN dal my producers just did that's a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: big deal, man, super big. Yeah. So it's been going
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: on for about two three years now, so you're you're
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a part owner of PFL YEP And basically it's just
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: alternative to the other fighting leagues. And we have a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: regular season and we have playoffs and we have a championship,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and other superstars who competed other places they can come
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to the PFL and join the season and we go
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: off of a point system. So the people with the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: most points, that's who advances in their weight class. Is
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: it similar to like I think a point system? I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: think like the way NASCAR does it? Is it kind
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of close to them about Nascar? I just know that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: they do I just points. I mean I could learn
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: about NASCAR so essentially because that's a new way of
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: doing it because you're talking about season. You know, we're
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: so used to seeing UFC it's a pay per view thing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: It's like, so this is like more like like made
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the best person win. Whoever's got the end of the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: points goes to the play is it like? Yeah? Playoffs
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: for show and the champions Fire. You know Clarissa Shills, Yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: female boxers, she crossed over to the PFL, so she's
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: making her M and A the debut with us over there.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot of stuff like that
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: where you see maybe people from other sports crossover, people
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: who are superstars in other other leagues they might not have,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you know, got their championship shot, but they come to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the PFL. Would would you guys take on like celebrity fights. Yeah,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Like if one of these Paul bros. Were like, hey man,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get into octagon, why not? I don't
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: see why not. We would train them up, we would
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: start him in the season and we see where they go. Yeah,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta compete, like, it's not gonna be
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: like a popularity contest. So yeah, I think that that's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: those dudes they bang like they really fight. That's what
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like. Look, man, like I'm a you know, if
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you're a boxing fan, you got to at least be
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: excited that there's a tension on the sport again because
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on the because on the undercards of these fights there's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: some real boxing mode. I mean, and like the actual
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: fights that we've seen so far haven't been like real fights.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: They've been more like exhibitions or right right right, you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like, you know, we get
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: in there, but the way that they train and what
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: they're prepared for that they really they're really fighting, you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. They're not just taking pictures or
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: going to the gym and fucking warming up and looking
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: good like they're they're getting it in. Yeah, I think that, Uh,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that'd be crazy. So what what what do you think
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: would differentiate the PFL from Because you know, there's bellatour,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: there's there's UFC. I would say those are probably the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: big two, right right, But you guys got an ESPN deal,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: which is automatically great because you know you've got eyes
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: behind it. But what what what kind of differentiates what
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you guys do or makes what you guys do unique
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: compared to those two. It's more for the fighters and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: for the fans. Not to say that take away from
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: any other corporation, but yeah, we just keep both in mind.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: We want the fighters to make money as well as
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: game popularity, and we want the fans to get the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: best bang for their buck. So you know, you have
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: your lower tier, you can start here, and then you
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: got your you mean, gets a little bit higher, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: then you got your top tier. So you're getting what
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you spend your money on and what you spend your
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: time paying it. I do feel like that's one thing
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we always hear about UFC is that the fighters kind
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of get paid the fighters fairly. The fighters have issues,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: they have yeah, yeah, yeah, because you'll see some of
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: these pay per view numbers and then you'll hear what
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: someone made who fought, and you'll be like, yeah, this happening.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I forget what the exact numbers are, but there's only
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a handful of you know, those fighters who have actually
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: fought for a million dollars or more. And that's what
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: our main prize is is at the end of it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you get a million dollars if you win andampionship. Oh
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I mean Yeah, that's that's that's awesome. It's a no brainer. Trey,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: hard Win and mill where are you at with music
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: right now? Because I feel like at this point in time,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you just do what you want. So sometimes we'll get
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a random tape from you. Well, you know, you're you're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you're hopping on songs that with people who you fuck with?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Last year we got the EP, But like, what do
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you how do you feel about I mean, by the way,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I love the fact Finally last year we got Cushian
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: or Juice on Spotify. That was a big fucking deal. Yeah, everybody,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like, where are you at music wise? Man?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Are you still inspired? Are you still like, like, you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about about the rap game right now?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I love the way that the rap game is moving now.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of the work that I put
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: in and paved the way on is like paying off,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: not only for me but for a lot of other
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: people facts. So you know, with that in mind, uh,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I just I see the next step in my evolution
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm always working on it. I'm always in the studio,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I'm always working with new artists and things like that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: But for my own personal project, the next thing for
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: me is to just you know, have another big moment
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that is stand out not just to other people, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: really impresses me. And I know what I want to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: talk about, and I know what I want the numbers
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to look like, and I know what you know type
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of people I want to impress, But I can't get
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: there until I actually create the project. So that's what
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm doing, is I'm making the sound and I'm getting
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the content and everything that I really think is gonna,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you know, take me to the next level in a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: lot of different people's opinions as well as mine. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you know, that's working with different production working with different writers,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: just trying to put together not really trying, but putting
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: together a full ass project that's going to be the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: evolution of you know who I am in my career. Yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like you've gotten to the place in your
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: career where like, sure you'll take another see You again, right,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: because it's one of the biggest songs of all time.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, you're with Khalifa like you're
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: a fucking you know. I think that there's probably three
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: other guys like in your category as far as just
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: like my grandma knows who you are, you know what
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I mean. Like so like that's it gives you freedom
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: kind of because you can just make what you want
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and you can, like you said, like you're trying to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: craft a project or a new sound or like you
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: could be as patient as you want. Like my main
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: thing is the message. So if the message isn't right
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: or not even that it's not right, but if it's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: not telling the message of the music, yeah, the message
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: in the music, yeah absolutely, if it's not. If it's
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to just scratch the surface because I've
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: already done that. I'm in the game. I'm deep in
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the game. So I'm just being really really conscious of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the things that I say. And I love what's being
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: made in music now. But there's no way that I
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: could say that and be completely fulfilled. And it takes time,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It takes time to really
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: put together a full meal for a motherfuckers to really
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: digest and and enjoy. And you know, everything that I make,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's fire. But it's like if you
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: go fishing, you can't catch every fish. I want that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: big fish. So I'm really just shaving the fat and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: figure what is the message that you want to like
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: put out there. There's a lot of different things with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: with young artists. There's way too much violence with with
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the younger artists. And I just had this kid Fullio
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: from Jacksonville here and I had to like, I was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: like really trying to talk to him, like hey, man,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: like I don't know if they got this beef going
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: on out there. That's it's so crazy disrespectful, Like the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: violence is crazy, and it's there's so much of that,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and that's what these blogs are feeding our timelines too.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And it just feels like, yeah, it almost seems like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: dudes are like getting into it to start beefing with
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: each other, Like that's why you got into rap, to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: get like it's out of it yea. And if you
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: think about, like you know, resting peace of King Vaughan,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: but like the issue between him and Kwando Rondo, like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: those guys aren't even from the same city, so like
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: that was a rap beef rap beef. It'd be different
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: if like King Vaughan got into it with someone from
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Chicago while he was in Atlanta. But yo, guys are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: dying over rap beef. It's not productive for anybody. And
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: no one's like where are the companies that are behind
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: these guys or the big homies or you know what
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, well, the labels are signing them, because
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that's what's like fueling it and making it go further,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: because it's it's not really in their hands. It's like
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: it gets like just this type of the songs that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they play and the words that they say, how disrespectful
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: they are the people's families. It's insane. It wouldn't be
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't affect the same if it wasn't mainstream. I agree,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: if you had to dig deep to find that stuff,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: then it wouldn't affect it the same. But you have
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: people who have nothing to do with any of that
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: pushing singing it in the club or riding around and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the car listening. He fuels it, puts so much more
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: onto it than actually would be there if it was
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: just beef. Did you see the Vanessa Carlton remix, A
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: thousand miles remix where they're like on the golf course.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: You know it's it's it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, you should
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: have a reference here, but yeah, put it put it
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in there. This kid young and age put out you know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a thousand miles with the White Girl's song from White Chicks.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: If I could what they redid that song and literally
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: just did a whole entire song three minutes straight just
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: talking about their ops dead friends by name. That's crazy.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It's insane, and it's it's like twenty five million views
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, that's the type of shit, what
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: are we doing? Yeah, I mean you should like, yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: so you're so you kind of want to come in
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and because I feel like there's no balance right now,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: especially with the younger kids. Man, Like, you know, I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: think there's like kids at Cordae that are amazing and yeah,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: but as far as just like there, it feels like
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: there's a whole generation that's just well, I'm just speaking
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: from a perspective of not preaching to nobody because I'm
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: still living my life too, of course, but I'm just
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not no washed up nigga that you could just
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, shut the fuck up, we don't want
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to hear what you got to say. It's like, now
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you have a choice whether you want to listen to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I'm going to say it though,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm definitely touching on subjects from a from a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: perspective of I've been through it. I had to come
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh to get to where I'm at, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I would never want to go back to them circumstances
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that man was in when I was, you know, coming up,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: we had Chevy here, and Chevy told the story about
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: how they just try to kill him not too long, right,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying, the game and he's
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: been out here, he's been he's a OG. And you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we all know Chevy, Chevy's a great guy. But it's
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: like you just, you know, you just never know, man,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: when you come from that world, especially when you're back home. Man,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it feels like back homes, are you always going to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: get the most haters? Yeah, I mean, you know, the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: goal is to try to be able to operate your
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: business without worrying about any of that stuff, right, And
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I just want to definitely push people in the direction
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of you can still be cool. You could still you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: be that nigga. You can blah blah blah blah, be safe,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Like you don't have to show money, you don't have
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to show guns, you don't have to disrespect anybody. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: if you really got a problem with somebody, there's a
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: place to take it where you could be tough. But
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: like that's another thing is a lot of dudes would
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: rather shoot than fight. Yeah, you can also try to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: resolve the situation talking. I know you, I know you've
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: had situations that were resolved off camera. I've had a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: lot of situations that people don't even know about one
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: hundred percent because it's not even that serious. You know,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: if you really want to get to the bottom of it,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you can and yeah. So and that's what the gym
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: does too for me, because a lot of people do
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: think they're tough and they want to they want to fight,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: they want to throw hands, and they'll say and the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: hard beat. Oh I'm not going to know gym, I'll
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: shoot it out, blah blah blah. Sid I think that's
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: because you can't last three minutes. You don't have your
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: cardial skills. I've seen you swing like a bitch, So
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you don't want to get embarrassed, you know what I'm saying.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So remove that from it and really get it off
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: your chest if it's really an issue. There's a lot
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of rappers securities who be acting tough and you know
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: my big homies. Of course, they're like, look, we're starting
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: a security fight. I was going to say, you're security
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: for people who don't know his security got their own
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: fucking fighting league in Vegas. Like all your big motherfuckers
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: who want to be frowning in the club and all
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that shit. They'll put arm bar quick, bring it to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the mat, be productive, you know what I'm saying. They
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: can all get money after that. We can get money
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: out of the situation. But you know, bring it, bring
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: it there. A lot of niggas ain't signing up, but
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what it is. But at least
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: there's an alternative, and we're trying to put it on
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a mainstream level of We're not with that other shit.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: We're with this. This is what we're doing. We're doing
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: martial arts. We're working together. We're doing this. We put
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: niggas on the road together, we work out when we're
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: on the road. And of course nigga's gonna have problems.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have beef. But like you said, what's the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: alternative to, you know, uh, resolving the situation. You've always
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: had the like one of the best ears in hip hop.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like when it comes to just new talent,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: like I feel like you're always you know, even when
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I just think back to all the times
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: like I first heard somebody was with you when you're
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: in DJ and in a bungalow, like, oh what's this?
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Oh shit? You know, I think, I really think, like
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the first time I ever heard Uzzi was with you
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and this was a fuck I don't even know many
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: years ago. That was maybe twenty fifteen or something. Like,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: you know, how tapped in do you try to stay?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you have Taylor Gang, you sign artists
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and all that, but like just as a fan, like,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: do you do you still like, because sometimes I'll be
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: feeling like, man, I'm so busy, I can't even I
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: don't even got time to be a fan of this
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: shit no more. Yeah, you know what I mean as
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: far as just discovering new artists and you know, but like,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: like do you still even have time to even be
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a fan and try to find new artists? You know,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: not even for your label, but just in general, yeah,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: just in general. Yeah, I think just the game and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: music consumption has changed a lot, and that race to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: find that new shit has just become like everybody's so
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: thirsty now, like niggas is just digging and like reaching
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: for what's new or what's hot. And for me, I
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: like to just see what what I enjoy And a
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: lot of the time I just stumble on it, or
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: my homies will play it, or my son. Now he
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: plays a lot of new music and shit that I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: never even heard before, and I don't even really have
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to search for that shit no more. It comes to you. Yeah,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: it just it just kind of pops up. But in
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: those days that you were talking about, like that was
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun because that was really, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a selection of music. It was like, all right, I'm
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: not listening to none of that. This is the shit
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that I like. And that was more what I like
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to put out to the world is what I enjoyed,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: whether people like it or not. Post Malone was one
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of the moth first motherfuckers. Like there's a lot of
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: people whereas like I just supported them just because I know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: even twenty one Savage, I remember you playing twenty one
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Savage super early, super early. Yeah, I pulled up to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: him at one of his shows just because, like I
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: fucked with his vibe and I had been in Atlanta,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you know, recording some music, getting some tattoos and shit,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and it just, you know, it just rubbed off the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: correct way. But I think it's really important to just
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: be open and sensitive to all of that shit. And
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: even right now with the world about to be back open,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I already know what my playlist is gonna sound like.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna sound like everybody else's because that's not
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the vibe that I want to bring. I want to
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: inspire a different feeling. I want to have a different groove.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some shit that you don't know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be some shit that you do know, and fuck,

• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like, too, what was dobe about the pandemic
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: is it made people listen to music differently. It made
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: us like, instead of standing on couches at the club
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and you know, hearing shit that way. I think that
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: there was like a resurgence of you know, some real
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: rap shit popping off. You think so, I think so
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: because I think I just look at the Grammy nominations, right,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: it was Freddie Gibbs. It was a hoist of five
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: nine d Smoke it was. It was. It was just
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: all some real, like real rap shit that I think
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: that might have gotten overlooked in other years because I
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: feel like we're listening in headphones, We're listening at home,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I think the content for
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: this year changed because everybody just became more conscious of
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: what was going on around them. Yeah, people tried to
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: make more songs that were geared towards that as opposed
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: to like, you know what I mean, different different things.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, it made people dig a little bit deeper. Yeah,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I think, like, Yo, Griselda had a crazy year last year.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Like what I'm saying, Like, it's definitely like the vibe
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: has changed for sure due to like what you're saying,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: people's attention span. But I want to get back in
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the club though, like that, I know you do. I
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: want to stand on the couch. Yeah, for sure, to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: be on the couch. That's inspiration. Hey, going back to
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: your Freshman cover in twenty ten that was, in retrospect,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: one of the most historical covers I think they ever had.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: A double exel was you, It was Nip, It was
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Big Sean it was Fred, it was j Rock, Jay
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Rock was on, Miss Cole was on there, like such
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: like like how crazy. Like do you ever like look
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: back and kind of reflect on like some of your
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: moments in hip hop, because that's like a historical moment. Man. Yeah, yeah,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it's dope. When you're coming up, you always you look
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: at the past and be like, oh, man, I wish
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I would have came up during that time. But we
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: definitely had our own era where it was like that
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was our golden era. You could say it was like
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: how it was when Tribe was out, and yeah, it
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: was like I was My favorite era was the blog era.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: That was our own version of that, and we lived
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it too. We were CouchSurfing, we were flight hopping, we
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: were a concert going, we were studio sleeping. We was
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: really thugging and everybody was helping each other out. So
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it was all the like you said, the blog era.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: We made the music and then the blogs put it out,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: so we had it was the relationship. It was always
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: fun to find new artists on like Two Dope Boys
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: in those days. I was like it was just it
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: felt like that the curators there was more of a
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: selection to where you knew if you went to a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: certain website you find some shit that you're looking for.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like nowadays the curators, like a few people
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: at these DSPs, it was hard to get into those
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: things too, Like you really had to be dope, no
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: for sure, but it was like, but they would also
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: take chances on artists, Yeah, for sure. For show they
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: would post one thing and if it didn't get that meaning,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: like they were still posting another one. Thinking, man, it's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: popularity contest now, which is cool. It's not that bad,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but that shit only lasts what fifteen seconds? So yeah,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like the streaming shit is cool, but it's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: like also it's made it extremely I wouldn't say hard,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: but I feel like harder than ever to start from
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: scratch and have a career because you really got there's
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: like a few so I'm some awesome independent shit. There's
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to get on Carl Cherry's radar,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: You got to get on you know Whoever's to really
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: kind of break through some of those editorial playlists. And
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I think so, I think so man, I think you
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: just gotta get good fifteen seconds? What do you mean,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: like of the song that's it? You good. All right, Yeah,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: you have the whole song. You have fifteen seconds, A
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: nice little hook, TikTok, a little something that loops put
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: it on, TikTok. You good. Hey you had a TikTok moment.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Something new. It made a look that's something new. But
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, this shit is like two
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: years old exactly. Yeah, fans did that. That was cool
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: as hell. That happened during the pandemic too, It did.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: It did. Everybody was at home with their families. Take
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: talking it up using the app and all that. You
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: mentioned your son Bash, who you know, I think is
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: probably intellectually like one of the smartest kids. That kid is.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: How old is your son now? Eight? I would say
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: he's probably eight going on like fifteen as far as
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: his brain, like, he's a very smart kid. He's sharp. Yeah,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: he's a very sharp kid. You know. I thought it
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: was dope to see you do the Oreo commercial recently.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: What is it about how you and Amber have raised
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: him that you know? I think? I think to like
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: how I see a lot of fathers with their kids
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and like, like, what do you think is special about
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: how you guys decided to raise him? Is there anything
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: like that you would give as far as like advice
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: to other parents out there, I think we both share
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of the same views, if not pretty much
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: all of them on how he should be raised. And
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: that's really important to be on the same page with
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: your partner because you're you're trying. You have to. There's
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: a push in a pool. Some people might want to
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: see their kid grow up this way, some people might
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: want to see it grow up that way. And from
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: what I've learned is that's really just personal with the parents,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and if you're grown enough and brave enough to let
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that go for the better of the kid, then that's
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: when they're able to benefit. So, you know, there's some
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: days where he might not want to go to school
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and she might be like, all right, cool, and if
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: he's with her, that her rules. You did what I'm saying,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: all right cool? Your mom saying yeah. I'm like, oh
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: your mom, blah bah blah. You need to be let
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you completely let that go. And it is what it is.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: He's with me, Oh we eat McDonald's today. You know,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: she's like, oh, cool, he deserves a cheeseburger. He's been good. Now,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: don't be feeding my baby. You know what I mean
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of little stuff. This starts there, the
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: little stuff like you got to be able to get along,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and then when it comes to make big decisions, then
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you right there on the same page and there's no friction.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: And that's how me and her are is like we
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: we start with those little blocks, and he's a really
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: good kid, he's really understanding, he's really you know, fortunate.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: We live right down the street from each other, so
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: he gets to spend a lot of time with both
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: of us. He's not really missing out on too much.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: So is he on the roadblocks? Yo, he's roadblocks out, Yeah,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: he's he's roadblocks in Fortnite for sure. I didn't realize
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: that Roadblocks was a publicly traded company until recently, and
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I bought stock because I was like, I don't know
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: how much fucking buddy, I'll be putt into that roadblock
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: for by game for seven year old up and they
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: go up and down though, like, yeah, they find the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: company that makes the game that makes all of them exactly,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: because even Fortnite, like Fortnite's kind of you know, it
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: was a wave and now it's you know, listen, they
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: go up and down, bro, you know you're you're not
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: like a big game around Nah, man, I don't game.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: That should take too much time out of my day.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's a lot, dude, It's almost like it's fun,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: but then you just feel like fuck man, like you're
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: not being very productive with your day. I used to
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: play games, but I started rapping when I was fourteen,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: So like that whole muscle of sitting down and doing
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: that that I don't even have that, bro, Like I
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: just like I love seeing Snoop on Twitch when he
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: rage quits. Oh yeah, I love that shit. He really
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: means it too, like oh yeah, that's not no acting
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: or none of that ship Like he really be hot, bro,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Like Snoopy upset. When you're talking about mushrooms earlier, Yes,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: talk to me about the crazy siest trip you've had,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people take mushrooms, they microdose and
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: they get through their day and then there's other things
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: you do that what are they call it the master
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: dose or the no no no, like the super dose. Yeah,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: supposed to change your life, like the God, Yeah, the
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: God do shit. I don't know, yeah, Like like what's
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: the what's the deepest like craziest trip you've ever been
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: on and what'd you get out of it? Probably when
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I ate mushrooms for my mom. We went to Coachella
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know how to really dose it all
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: like that. So I took a ship ton and she
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: took a lot of them too, and Outcast was playing,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and we just have like this cool relationship with Outcasts
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: because when she we would go on road trips, we
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: would always listen to Equiminie, so it's like top five
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: album all time. Oh yeah, hell yeah. So we're like
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Outcasts Coachella, we're doing shrooms. Hell yeah. And we took
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: the shrooms and they were really really really really really
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: really really strong, and we were both just like laying
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: down in the grass and shit like that, and it
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: was cool. It wasn't too much, but I couldn't move.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to move. And I think the deepest
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: and realist thing that I took away from that was
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: just the fact that at one point was inside of
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: my mother's stomach, and I was like, wow, we were
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: like connected, you know what I mean. So when we
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: were laying down, I'm like, we're basically doing the same
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: thing we used to do. That's the same because we're
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: the same fucking person. I'm like, this is this is deep, bro,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and it you know you're always gonna be cool with
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: your moms, of course, but that's this is and your
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: mom for people don't know, like where's his mom will
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: be at the functions? For sure? Your mom? Your mom's
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: a g for sure for sure. So it just definitely
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: gave me a cool ass appreciation for moms. That's crazy.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy you mentioned outcasts. I know you.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: You've always been extremely high on paying homage to the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: people who've influenced you. You You got the bone Thugs tattoo,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like, obviously you and Snooper,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what we call you. You You
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: guys are like hip hop tag team champs for the
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: last ten years. You know, Like you got to do
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: that tour. It was like it was crazy, No, it
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: was amazing. But like, is there someone who you know
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: you mentioned outcast and outcast, especially Andre kind of not
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: the most accessible and also really accessible at the same time,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: because you might see Andre at like seven to eleven
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: and be like, oh shit, sharing ubers and shit. But
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: is there someone who who you looked up to? That
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: you haven't, because I feel like every way you're connected
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: with Cam, you've connect with a lot of peece. There
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: someone who who you really looked up to that you
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: haven't really got to like forge a bond with yet.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I was cool with DMX, Rest and Peace. I didn't
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: get to do no music with him. I want I
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: definitely was trying to do a track with him, like
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: because I seen him at Snoop's compound. We were both
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: locked in for like two weeks. I was in one room,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Snooper was in the other room, and Swiss and DMX
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: with another room. So we were just mixing, mingle, go upstairs,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: play pool, be in the kitchen, eating together. So we
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: were supposed to collab like during that time, but we
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: were all just getting and having too much fun. I
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: know I was, but uh so I didn't get to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: work with Eggs and jay Z. I want to. I
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: definitely want to, you know, be in the room with him,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: even if it's just one track. But I feel like,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: you know, just on a building type of level of
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: cracking some jokes. He's in a weird game now He's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: chopped it up with Burns. So we got some mutual
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: friends and shit like that, so definitely Hove. Yeah, how
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: was how was it hanging out with DMX? I met
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: him once and he was like exactly who I'd hoped that,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: you know, DMX dying man, probably just as a fan. Obviously,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Nit passing away really hit me hard because I knew Nip,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: but as a fan. As a kid, you and I
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: around the same age. I remember going to the Hard
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Knock Life tour and leaving after DMX got off stage.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: This was like volume two HOVE, so he performed a
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: couple of songs that we left, but that shit really
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: fucked me up because I'm like, man, this dude was
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: like my world for like sixth and seventh grade. Yeah,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: X was crazy bro like I had. I remember walking
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: to the store to go get his first album, well
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: a single before the album even came out. I have
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to get at me dog. And when the album came out,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: like that shit was so far. I remember my dad
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: took it away from me it was too explicit, but
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: then he ended up giving it back. He was like, nah,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: you can listen to this one. This one was doge.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Like I fuck with X like but just cooling with him.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: He's so he's so much fun. I have family from
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: New York and he acts just like them, like just
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: really outspoken. If you walk in the room, he's gonna
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: fuck with you. Like I had a cameraman at the time,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, I know you. That's my
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: camera right there. Thank you. I didn't even know you.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: He knew I wanted one, like you know what I mean,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: just fucking with niggas. Like he was a real, real
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: cool dude, real fun person to be around. So, and
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Jay getting involved in the wed game. Now
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Jay's not no, like I don't I don't know jay Z,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: but I don't know him to be a smoker. No,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: well not before I think you know more now then yeah, yeah,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're one of the biggest weed
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: icons in hip hop history. So when guys like who
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: are kind of coming from the outside of that world
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: come in, like, how do you feel about that? Well,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: when it's people like oh, I don't, I would never
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: feel it's like a boss move almost, it's like, of course,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: why not not? Why It's like it's like him getting
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: mad because I wouldn't be a rapper. You sit down,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: a little nigga, I got this. It's like, nah, fuck that.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: But that's like I understand he probably you know, wasn't
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: at the forefront of it or like you know, putting
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: in the work on the on the side that we were,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: but too be faces of it. He did what I'm
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: saying and do it the right way. I think that's
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the real goal and just the I see the end
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: goal and the more you know, bosses and big people
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and jay Z has a lot to do with, you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the jail system in the law man. So the fact
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that there's people right now across this country that are
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: doing like serious prison time for like minimum amounts weeds
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: insane still, so he don't even have to smoke a joint.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I'll smoke it. You'll smoke it for him. Yeah, just
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: just keep us good. I mean, you're on your way
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: to like I mean, I feel like you've been making
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: so many mobile type moves of the last decade, Like
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: you know, you got the ship on post Mace, hot
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Box by hot Box by Wiz. I mean, there's just
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: so much stuff that you have your hands in. Death
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Liquid death, PFL. I'm on TV. I got a show
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: called Dickinson that's on Apple Plus. I play a character
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: that his name is death. I haven't gotten Apple plus yet.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Only you know what's funny is when you dropped your
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: uh was it last year? The year before? Yeah, that
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: was the only time I got I got fucking I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: think I got everything but Apple. Yeah. But I was like,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta go watch this. It's all good.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: But so is the show on right now? Yeah? It's
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: in the second season. Yeah. See, I didn't even know
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: that ship were about to drop the third season. Well,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: we about to start filming the third season. I leave
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: to you have iconic rapper actor moments, And I mean
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: that in the most respectful way if possible. I appreciate
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: it where it's like I wouldn't say you you've had
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: moments where you obviously weren't a great actor, but it
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: just works. That's what they called me to set to
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: do it. It's like Nas and Belly. It's like Nas
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: just showed up and was just Nas in the movie
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: and that's what for? What movie was it where you
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: were on a fucking horse? That was a movie with Amber? Yes? Yeah, yeah.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: She was like it was like there were some other
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: girls in there, like the Gang, the Gangs of Roses.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Me and my me and my girl watched that ship
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: and we were like, this is hilariously bad, but it's good.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: But that's what you gotta do, though, man, like look
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: at like Samuel, look at his motherfucker. Jackson was in everything, everything,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: and then he became the goat later, but he did
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: everything all the way up to that point. You'll watch
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: some old ship like you got fucking killed. He was
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: a junkie like he's he's I think he's been killed
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: way more times than he's actually maybe than any actor ever. Yeah,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson's been murdered multiple ways. Shout out to him. Yeah,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: by multiple races of people too, so not just you
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: know in the seventies, like he got older and got
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: killed too. Because let's give some can we give some
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: flowers to uh to Burner man, Yeah, that's my dog, bro.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I think burn Is doesn't get enough love when it
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: comes to just like, yeah, that mother man he is.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: He's built, he's built a lot. That's the thing. I think.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I think Burner actually does get enough love. He's just
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: he's just like the real goat. Like when you're really
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: the goat, you don't really see or hear or anything
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: like that. But he's always putting in work and all
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: the bosses go through burn Like I just seen a
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: video with Rick Ross on Berner's cookie tour bus, you know,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Burns walking him around him his dispensary that he just
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: opened in Vegas. You know what I'm saying. It's like
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and shans Rick Ross because he's a boss, but Berner's not.

• 53:37
  Speaker 1: somebody new. Uh. Last last tour we had Jack Harlow
• 53:41

• 53:49
  Speaker 1: it was Kendrick Wow, Yeah, money bag. Yo's open. Yeah,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: so we've had some We've had some really iconic uh
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: movings on up in the rankings. So it'll be fun
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: to see who comes through this year and then who
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: smashes it afterwards. I would like to see Blast open.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I think Blast is the next guy out of the
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: whole West Coast, and I think I think the Blast
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: opening slot on a Whiz tour would be nice. Okay,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Put them intentions in the air. Yeah,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I know, I'm always
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: like I ain't tripping. Yeah, I mean, you know, I
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: think I'm trying to think who else? Who are you
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: fucking with? It's like that you're like, yo, Like, let's
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: say there's a new artist that you're a fan of
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: right now that calls you, and you're you're just gonna
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: do the future just because you like them. Everybody everybody, Yeah,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I like everybody. I love everybody. Then there's also the fee,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: So rappers, if you got your bag right, charge, yeah, listen,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I need that swap because when you go number one,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: no no, no, no no, no, now you have charged. Recently,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: I set up a play for you and you got
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: a bag off it. Oh, because it was a bag
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: on the table. It was a nice bag. It was
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: a bag on the table. I'm not gonna hit you
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: if you ain't you know what I'm saying, especially for well.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to you because you
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: did a record for my artists in twenty nineteen and uh,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: this ship went. We hit like a thousand spins and
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: radio we that man, that was a hell yeah. Shout
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: out to brown Boy Modu a Lexus that was. That
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: was a fun time. Yeah, very fun time. I'm we
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: always there because it's a relationship thing. Like you are.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: You got to be able to depend on somebody. So
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: if you want to work, we could work what you're
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: working with. Hey, let me ask you this, what's one
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: of your records that you wish it would have been bigger?
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: That you was like, man, this is that shit, but
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: it just never really hit like one of your big hits.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Let me think. I feel like you got a bunch
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: of them, to be honest, but they've got to be
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: going to sticks out from Uh. I can't really say
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: because if it don't goes crazy, I just let it go.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: I don't really trip off of it. I had a
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: lot of songs that could have could have picked up.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like the record with Gucci was crazy, that
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: song was insane. I probably still went go older platinum,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I definitely have a plaque
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: for it, or even the record with Uzi that pull
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Up the pull Up. I thought pull Up was gonna
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: be like a number one record. Now it also you
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: got a plaque for it. For that, it's a great record.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was I think that's the one that
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I always stuck out, like I was like, I remember
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: talking to beat Out like yo, this is here. I
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: remember going in the offices and like dancing on tables
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: to that song. I always put the intention out there
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: and the energy there and everything has to do with
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: politics and and you know whatever. All that performance. See
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: you again at Kobe's thing. Man, how tough was that
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: because that's I mean, were you even nervous to do that? Yeah?
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: I was nervous. That's a moment. I was nervous. It
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: was rough too, man. It was like it was hell
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: of people in there, but it didn't feel like it
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: just felt empty in that bitch. And that's like a
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: big honor, you know what I mean, That's like a
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: big to have to do something like that huge. Yeah,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, just you know, get it,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: make it, make it what it's supposed to be. It's
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: about him, you know what I'm saying, him and his family.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was crazy. You got a record like
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: See You Again, and it's almost like, yeah, I mean,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: it's one of the biggest songs ever, isn't it like
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: the biggest song in YouTube history or some shit biggest
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: rap song, and it's it's it's a it's a forever
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I call it. Like certain type of records are just
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: forever songs. You know. There's like songs that you'll hear
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: at every wedding or and that's just the forever song.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Like one hundred years from now, that song will get
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: played at someone's funeral, you know what I mean. Like,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: did you get tired of that song? Nah? Hell nah?
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: He said, nope, hell no. That's the goal, man. I
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: want them them types of songs. Bob Marley has them
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: songs bad you know, Sloop got them songs, Prince got
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: them songs, got them songs. Hey, what do you what
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: do you think? You know, we always hear the term
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: mixtape whiz. You know, we've had so many classic moments
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Man Taylor al their dies. We mentioned cushion oranges or
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: what what? What is the Do you even see a
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: difference in like your mentality when you're in mixed tape
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: tape wiz mode because that's a fan thing that was
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: made up. Yeah, like I could agree with the fans
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: on that, just from like stepping out and then looking
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: back in. There's there's a mixtape whiz just like there's
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: mixtape wheezy, Yeah, mixtay wheezy something else. You know what
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think there's a freedom to doing mixtapes,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: and that freedom is slowly, you know, dying and being
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: pulled back away from us just because you can't release music.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: You can't throw the same way you used to be
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: able to because one's c everything has to hit the
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: DSPs now, oh my gosh. Yeah, and and literally if
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: it doesn't reach the DSPs, it don't exist, and that's
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: not cool. Like, well that just happened with No Ceilings three,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: the Little Wayne mixtape. I feel like we got that
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: record with Drake on the DSPs. But other than that,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who was like riding around on
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: that PIF and shout out to that pitch. We're still
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: using that drop three mixtapes this year on that pith already. Yeah,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: they just don't exist. I mean not to downplay that,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: but it's like in the world and the music consumption,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard. Fans aren't trained these days like
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: we were, where we're like, yo, I gotta hit that pith.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: I got you know what I'm saying, I gotta hit sound.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: And then the same fans will acts for mixtape Whiz
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: or mix tape Wheezy. We'll drop it on whatever platform
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: that we can drop it, and they'll be like when
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: you put it on Apple Music and it's like, dude,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: just get the fucking project. Is there any plans to
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: put some of the other classics up on the Spotify?
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Because we got I mean, look, we got cushion rs shoes,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: that's all the matter. It's a process because a lot
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: of those beats have samples in them that that won't
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: be cleared, and I don't want to put out, you know,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: incomplete projects and things like that, so it takes a
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: minute to really go back and like monetize all of
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: that ship. And that's why we've just now released the
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Thrill as a regular song. The Thrill. You know, that
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: song's been out for what ten years, and it just
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: now is starting to you could track what it's doing.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: That is crazy. Would you ever go Indie Wiz? Yeah?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: I mean you've been with Atlantic for so long. It's
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: been a good marriage. But you know, I feel like
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: you're the kind of artist that can. I mean, you
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: have an infrastructure and a team and every relationship possible,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: and I feel like you're going independence and inevitable. Man,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I would I don't want to speak before you know.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: My relationship with Atlantic is over with. I still got
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: a couple albums to do with them, but in the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, you don't need a lot of
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: that to do. Yeah, things are different than they were
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: when you first signed, and I'm still cool all of course.
