- 2:21Speaker 1: the youth, first of all, um, the liars. Second of
- 2:25Speaker 1: all um. You know I learned with success, people can
- 2:29Speaker 1: actually wake up in the morning and say I'm gonna
- 2:32Speaker 1: sue you, like right now, vy can wake up them

- 2:46Speaker 1: the lawsuit. That doesn't mean the right. So what they
- 2:49Speaker 1: do is people do that to try to trick you,
- 2:52Speaker 1: to try to extort you. You know what I'm saying.
- 2:55Speaker 1: And the problem is DJ CALO's nobody no money. First
- 2:58Speaker 1: of all, I have so much jury. I got more jelly.
- 3:01Speaker 1: And it's not even about the jewelry because you know,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you back the end of the day, at the end
- 3:06Speaker 1: of the day. But I want to teach everybody a
- 3:08Speaker 1: word real quick because I can't talk too much about
- 3:11Speaker 1: the case. But, um, there's a thing called counter sue,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and um that's what we're doing. And there's a thing
- 3:18Speaker 1: called victory. And it's a thing called you know you'll
- 3:22Speaker 1: see and and and that's that's all it is, what
- 3:24Speaker 1: I'm saying. Um, different people who don't know there's a
- 3:26Speaker 1: lot to the jewelers saying that you requested this jewelry
- 3:29Speaker 1: and then you never returned it and kept it and
- 3:31Speaker 1: didn't pay some jewelry to promote promote. Now I'm envy.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't know what
- 3:38Speaker 1: they're talking about because I'm very honestly, I'm very confused.
- 3:43Speaker 1: There's not there's not a truth that envy. There's not
- 3:45Speaker 1: a there's not even a drop of truth about what
- 3:48Speaker 1: they're saying. Wow, And I don't want to talk too
- 3:51Speaker 1: much back the end of the days. You know, that's
- 3:53Speaker 1: what you gotta play the game. But you know it
- 3:56Speaker 1: costs to play the game. See, that's why people don't
- 3:58Speaker 1: counter sue and fight, because it costs to have a litigator.
- 4:02Speaker 1: And guess what, I'm ready to play. You know what
- 4:05Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm ready to play that game. And then
- 4:07Speaker 1: the truth will come out and then not even just that,
- 4:09Speaker 1: I don't care, you know what I'm saying. But they're liars.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Do you get your money back after you you know?

- 6:57Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm with the best, you know what I'm saying.
- 7:00Speaker 1: But that's what my that's I promote them every day.
- 7:02Speaker 1: That's that's family. I'm not signed the cash money at all.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Oh you off for cash money? Now? Yeah, I've been

- 7:22Speaker 1: we the best um and um nothing nothing negative, nothing,
- 7:25Speaker 1: Everything is beautiful. I didn't know that. I thought you
- 7:27Speaker 1: were still signed the cash money. That's what I thought.
- 7:29Speaker 1: The hold up on the album was NA And there
- 7:31Speaker 1: was never a hold up on the album. Um this time.
- 7:33Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to drop the album last year.
- 7:35Speaker 1: The only reason why I didn't drop it last year
- 7:37Speaker 1: because I felt like, and I told you this last time,
- 7:39Speaker 1: I felt like I wanted to give the people more music. Um,
- 7:42Speaker 1: because sometimes when we dropped the album, the commercial stops.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying I learned that. Yeah, I
- 7:46Speaker 1: heard you were depressed because Meek Stone Nikki from you.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Oh now, y'all crazy, y'all craz First of all, shot
- 7:53Speaker 1: the Meek Man and shot a NICKI Minaj. I think
- 7:55Speaker 1: that's an amazing couple out there, another powerful couple. And um,
- 8:01Speaker 1: you know that was that's my brother and that's my sister.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You know, I know everybody throw the little jokes around
- 8:05Speaker 1: because I proposed the Nikki because you have done that
- 8:08Speaker 1: still now you think now that you see them as
- 8:10Speaker 1: a couple, could you, I mean you still have done
- 8:11Speaker 1: that same. I mean I would if I would have
- 8:14Speaker 1: did it this time, I would tell me because out
- 8:15Speaker 1: of respect, you know what I'm saying, I'd of respect listen,
- 8:25Speaker 1: I mean you know what I'm saying. They promote in
- 8:27Speaker 1: this relationship, you know what what I'm saying. So so iut
- 8:29Speaker 1: of respect, I would have called me. But at the
- 8:31Speaker 1: same time, as you know, when I did the Nikky thing,
- 8:33Speaker 1: that was a whole excitement for the fans. And it's
- 8:36Speaker 1: the connection with the record, and that's what I do.
- 8:38Speaker 1: You know, callin you. I'm saying. When I make my record,
- 8:40Speaker 1: I always trying to make it exciting if it's the
- 8:42Speaker 1: way I presented. You know, I'm out here presented on
- 8:44Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, on the Big Morning Show. That's excitement.
- 8:47Speaker 1: You know. I just don't want to drop a record
- 8:48Speaker 1: and say, hey, I dropped the record. Nah, I gotta
- 8:50Speaker 1: do it big, you know, shout the our Heart Radio
- 8:53Speaker 1: and the whole team. You know what I mean. You
- 8:54Speaker 1: said some interesting You said that when you drop your album,
- 8:56Speaker 1: the commercial stops. Why is it hard to promote songs
- 8:59Speaker 1: off the well? I think that's the way that the
- 9:02Speaker 1: game was structured in the last ten years, you know
- 9:06Speaker 1: what I mean. And and it takes us power players
- 9:08Speaker 1: to change it. And that's what I'm doing right now,
- 9:11Speaker 1: because you know, when I drop albums, I have so
- 9:13Speaker 1: many more hit records on there. And I think it's
- 9:16Speaker 1: also on a budget standpoint. For um. With me, I'm
- 9:21Speaker 1: you know, I'm with the best, so you know, I
- 9:23Speaker 1: control everything I want to do, you know what I'm saying. So,
- 9:26Speaker 1: but I'm for other people, it might be a budget
- 9:28Speaker 1: where they're like, I don't want to promote and pay
- 9:30Speaker 1: for another video or another single, you know, and you
- 9:33Speaker 1: know how that goes. But me, I want to I
- 9:35Speaker 1: don't want no rules, like it should be no rules,
- 9:38Speaker 1: and I think that's where the game is going. Anyways.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You know, I feel like CDs now are dinosaurs. You
- 9:43Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, let's keep it real. When's
- 9:45Speaker 1: the last time you pop the CD in your wid
- 9:48Speaker 1: laptop at home? That's what I'm trying to tell you.
- 9:50Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. So think about what these
- 9:53Speaker 1: people do for you. So I'm saying, is we more
- 9:56Speaker 1: bosses and we bossing up even more? So let's change
- 9:59Speaker 1: the game. And when I say change the game, make
- 10:01Speaker 1: it better. You know what I mean? If if technology
- 10:03Speaker 1: is making it, were iTunes, Well I'm gonna change the
- 10:06Speaker 1: for amount of marketing, you know what I mean. I
- 10:07Speaker 1: might want to come out with five number one singles
- 10:10Speaker 1: and then dropped the album. You know what I'm saying, Why? Why?
- 10:13Speaker 1: Why do it the old school way? Because people left
- 10:15Speaker 1: focusing on first week numbers. Yeah, well you shouldn't be
- 10:17Speaker 1: focused on first numbers. You should be focused on you,
- 10:20Speaker 1: your your whole run. And I'm not even talking about
- 10:24Speaker 1: the album. I'm talking about your career. You know what
- 10:26Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think it's because you're a DJ, because
- 10:28Speaker 1: like you know you live. Somebody drops the album like
- 10:29Speaker 1: a big Sean or whatever, we listen to the whole
- 10:31Speaker 1: body of work. You think it's because of the DJ.
- 10:33Speaker 1: People don't listen to you old, Not with me. I
- 10:35Speaker 1: don't think that with me. I think when people buy
- 10:37Speaker 1: my album, they listen to the whole album because I
- 10:38Speaker 1: make some amazing records. Put a lot of people together too. Yeah,
- 10:42Speaker 1: I put a lot of people together, but I make
- 10:43Speaker 1: amazing records. You know what I'm saying. But even with
- 10:46Speaker 1: like you say, um, when solo artist dropped the album,
- 10:50Speaker 1: I feel like when the album dropped, I feel like
- 10:52Speaker 1: the commercial stops it does I feel I's tell how
- 10:55Speaker 1: I feel like, let's keep it real. Like you know,
- 10:57Speaker 1: you're the excitement the first week you go to the
- 10:59Speaker 1: breakfast club, you do revolt, you do that, and then
- 11:02Speaker 1: the album drop. Do you see them like like Jacole
- 11:05Speaker 1: quietly went platinum themes. But That's what I'm saying. So
- 11:07Speaker 1: I'm just changed in the game because I know what
- 11:10Speaker 1: the fans want and the people want because I'm a
- 11:12Speaker 1: fan of hip hop, so I know what I would want.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I want more of my favorite artists or more of
- 11:17Speaker 1: my favorite guy to make the anthems. I want more,
- 11:20Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, the same way they this
- 11:21Speaker 1: in your morning show. They're gonna want more, you know
- 11:23Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Now, you were in Vegas for the fight.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Of course, did you bet some money? Um? I ain't
- 11:28Speaker 1: bet m on this fight, but I was with Floyd
- 11:30Speaker 1: Maywhether I wanted Floyd to win, um, And I respect
- 11:34Speaker 1: his legacy and his wins. And you know, I was
- 11:36Speaker 1: telling a friend of mine, it's crazy how how many
- 11:39Speaker 1: people would actually want Floyd to lose because he won
- 11:42Speaker 1: so much. And and I think all of us in
- 11:46Speaker 1: this room can relate to that. You know, when you
- 11:48Speaker 1: win so much, it's sad that somebody actually wants you
- 11:51Speaker 1: to lose because you won so much. But when you
- 11:54Speaker 1: are your way winning, they're like envy, God go and
- 11:57Speaker 1: then you want now you want too much? You know
- 12:01Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I could relate, you know what
- 12:03Speaker 1: I'm saying, because you know, you know how we do it.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Every year we come and with a hit. Would you
- 12:08Speaker 1: want to see a rematch with Pacquiel? And I would
- 12:11Speaker 1: love to see it because you know what I'm saying.
- 12:12Speaker 1: I think that'd be great for the people back the
- 12:14Speaker 1: end of the day is you know Floyda is a
- 12:16Speaker 1: chant man. When you're watching box you know, um, you
- 12:19Speaker 1: know envy. I think you said some on Instagram or Twitter,
- 12:22Speaker 1: you know how you know people got boxing confuses. The
- 12:25Speaker 1: point is not to get hit right, and the point
- 12:28Speaker 1: is that you know gets Maine hits in to get points.
- 12:30Speaker 1: And of course you would love a knockout, but the
- 12:32Speaker 1: whole goal is is who wins or who loses. Floyd wins,
- 12:36Speaker 1: so he he mastered the craft of winning. You know
- 12:38Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It might not be like the way
- 12:40Speaker 1: were You should love watching Tyson knock somebody out in
- 12:43Speaker 1: one second. I love watching them fights back. The end
- 12:45Speaker 1: of the day is when Tyson won, he won. When
- 12:47Speaker 1: Floyd wins, he wins. It's just different ways of winning.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I think the reason people don't like Floyda because he's
- 12:51Speaker 1: the bad guy. And you can't have about both ways.
- 12:53Speaker 1: If you're the self proclaimed bad guy, you're the villain.
- 12:55Speaker 1: You got to play that role. And I wouldn't say
- 12:57Speaker 1: you're a bad guy just saying he just won so much.
- 13:00Speaker 1: You know what they think about it, because you know,
- 13:02Speaker 1: when you win so much and you get so much money,
- 13:05Speaker 1: people it's sad. People just start hating. And you know,
- 13:09Speaker 1: you know the rule, the more hate you have, the
- 13:11Speaker 1: more love you have, the more hate you have, the
- 13:13Speaker 1: more money you had. You know what I'm saying. That's
- 13:16Speaker 1: part of success. If you can't deal with success, because
- 13:19Speaker 1: not everybody can deal with it, I can know what
- 13:22Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. If you're
- 13:25Speaker 1: gonna hate cool, I'm blessed up. Successful At the end
- 13:29Speaker 1: of the day is who's gonna pay your bills? You
- 13:32Speaker 1: know what I mean? Who're gonna take care of your children?
- 13:33Speaker 1: Wh're gonna take care of your family? I want to
- 13:35Speaker 1: know you are, so you shouldn't have to worry about
- 13:38Speaker 1: nobody what I'm saying. Oh no, I ain't flying yet,
- 13:42Speaker 1: but I'm really thinking about it now. You're scared of
- 13:44Speaker 1: flying because just in case what happened, and then your
- 13:46Speaker 1: tall bus blows up. So yeah, and then and on
- 13:49Speaker 1: the way over here, I don't know if you've heard.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Just to do this morning show. You know, I went
- 13:53Speaker 1: to m leaving Vegas. I can't straight here to do
- 13:55Speaker 1: your morning show. So it took me. It takes two days,
- 13:58Speaker 1: two drivers, not stop. But this time it took getting
- 14:00Speaker 1: it from the fight. I'm just getting I'm just kidding.
- 14:03Speaker 1: I'm not lying. It took me four days this time.
- 14:06Speaker 1: I was on the side of the road for two
- 14:08Speaker 1: days straight. I lost seven pounds. Will be on the
- 14:11Speaker 1: side of the road, no line road, the three flat
- 14:14Speaker 1: tires in a row, and then we blew the turbo
- 14:17Speaker 1: on the bus. And you know, when you drop from
- 14:18Speaker 1: Vegas to New York, you're gonna go through deserts, so
- 14:21Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, you're gonna be in the middle
- 14:23Speaker 1: of nowhere. Um but I put an Instagram out two
- 14:26Speaker 1: days ago. I'm really thinking about flying again. Now now
- 14:31Speaker 1: it's getting it, it's getting it's getting out of hand.
- 14:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure it out. I'm gonna figure it out.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Like the hip hop version of Final Destination, you had
- 14:37Speaker 1: playing trouble and you had both trouble. Now you got
- 14:39Speaker 1: car trouble. Yeah, I mean, you know that's that's that's
- 14:42Speaker 1: that's why this I changed the album and the and
- 14:45Speaker 1: the concept of it. It's my real life and I
- 14:48Speaker 1: feel like I am changing. And for me to think
- 14:50Speaker 1: about flying again, that's part of my change process. And um,
- 14:53Speaker 1: I want to overcome my fear I'm scared. Take yourself
- 14:56Speaker 1: a nice sleeping pill. Yeah, I'm gonna figure out. It's
- 14:58Speaker 1: some The other day I was saying, want somebody that
- 15:00Speaker 1: can take three zixes in a row? You know what
- 15:02Speaker 1: I'm saying. Or you know what I'm saying. I told
- 15:04Speaker 1: you before I might have a go see a doctor. Maybe, um,
- 15:08Speaker 1: you know, tell the promoter I need to have a
- 15:10Speaker 1: nurse with me. Put her in first class with me.
- 15:13Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know, I'm I'm gonna
- 15:15Speaker 1: figure it out. But you're a righteous man. Replace you
- 15:17Speaker 1: to field with love on the plane, I'm not. I'm not.
- 15:20Speaker 1: I don't think I'm worried about the plane doing something
- 15:22Speaker 1: because God is the greatest, you know what what I'm saying.
- 15:25Speaker 1: But I think I just I don't want to have
- 15:27Speaker 1: a panic attack. Anxiety. Yeah, anxiety. That's what I have.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Anxiety attacks. So imagine me being on the plane field
- 15:32Speaker 1: like I'm having a you know what I'm saying, and
- 15:34Speaker 1: I'm you know, I don't want to do that to
- 15:36Speaker 1: myself and people on the plane either. Yeah, you know
- 15:38Speaker 1: what I mean what I'm saying. That's that's the real issue. Right,
- 15:43Speaker 1: Oh my god, if you die, you die. Never do it.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Never do that now, we ain't never do it. We
- 15:50Speaker 1: forever you've done, you got a great making it worse
- 15:57Speaker 1: forever that complex interview that you did, we saw you
- 16:02Speaker 1: sneaker class. You have ten thousand pairs of sneakers. Um
- 16:06Speaker 1: I think I took a lady ten thousand, but you
- 16:08Speaker 1: know it's definitely in that range. Because the sneaker room
- 16:11Speaker 1: you see I have, I've been working on that for
- 16:13Speaker 1: a minute, but I have like two three other rooms
- 16:15Speaker 1: just filled with sneakers, and I have a storage filled
- 16:18Speaker 1: with sneakers. I've been collecting sneakers all my life, you know,
- 16:21Speaker 1: since I'm a baby, before I even knew I was
- 16:23Speaker 1: collecting them, you know what I mean. So you don't
- 16:25Speaker 1: ever sell any of them? Um No, But I have
- 16:27Speaker 1: been trading lately, Like lately, I've been doing a little trades,
- 16:30Speaker 1: you know, because you know, um, I got h you know.
- 16:32Speaker 1: It's it's amazing how big the sneaker culture is. And
- 16:35Speaker 1: it's like I'm meeting like you know, young young kings,
- 16:38Speaker 1: and and how these kids come and they actually gonna trade.
- 16:40Speaker 1: So I feel like it's fun the trade of sneakers.
- 16:42Speaker 1: They get something they want. I get something I want
- 16:44Speaker 1: or I might have an extra one, So I feel like,
- 16:46Speaker 1: you know what I mean, trading with the youth's fun.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Ye don't you have though that you want actually sneakers
- 16:50Speaker 1: out there? I don't have, Like I don't have the
- 16:52Speaker 1: M and m's. I want the M and ms. You
- 16:53Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. There's a few sneakers I want
- 16:55Speaker 1: out there I haven't got. I'm gonna get to them.
- 16:57Speaker 1: But um, I just love putting a pair of fresh
- 16:59Speaker 1: sneaks on anytime I want and at the same time.
- 17:02Speaker 1: And you know how it is like imagine having five
- 17:04Speaker 1: pairs of Jordans from two thousand and six, right, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: you're wear them in two two fifteen, and come back
- 17:12Speaker 1: and wear them in twenty twenty, you know what I'm saying,
- 17:15Speaker 1: and still have two fresh ones in the closet. That's dope.
- 17:18Speaker 1: But the problem is, you know what, you don't wear
- 17:19Speaker 1: them more like I got when Lebrons came out. I
- 17:21Speaker 1: got so many pair of Lebrons yea, that I don't
- 17:24Speaker 1: even know the colors of them. Yeah, you got. It
- 17:29Speaker 1: gets to a point I'm always late. I just grabbed
- 17:32Speaker 1: the closer sneakers as many sneaker as I got, I
- 17:36Speaker 1: wear like the same three or four of them, the
- 17:38Speaker 1: ones I put downs there. But you know, if you
- 17:42Speaker 1: got a video or you know you're about to do
- 17:45Speaker 1: a show or somebody, you know, somebody's at Sneakerhead, you're
- 17:48Speaker 1: gonna pull out one of them boys, right, you know
- 17:51Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I'm like Amy said, like I
- 17:53Speaker 1: wear the same two three ones every day, the ones
- 17:56Speaker 1: I love, and you know, but once in a while.
- 17:58Speaker 1: But it's I think it's just more of the love
- 18:00Speaker 1: for it, you know what I mean. It's like collecting
- 18:02Speaker 1: records being a DJ. We don't never want to get
- 18:04Speaker 1: rid of our records, even though you and I'm so
- 18:07Speaker 1: happy I came up in the era of vinyl, you
- 18:10Speaker 1: know what I mean. And not not not the downgrade
- 18:13Speaker 1: or disrespect the new generation, but it's so important for
- 18:16Speaker 1: them to understand what that is, because it's it's so amazing.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Did you carry on creates all my crates to carry
- 18:22Speaker 1: twenty five crates? Crazes you used to carry for them
- 18:25Speaker 1: before you got on twenty ye And when I said
- 18:27Speaker 1: DJ with the crates, I used to have twenty five,
- 18:31Speaker 1: I'm not lying. You you have to organize. I used to, um,
- 18:36Speaker 1: you know, later on, I used to have this one
- 18:38Speaker 1: crate call don't play with me, because that that crate
- 18:41Speaker 1: would be like the quick set if I only had
- 18:43Speaker 1: but but if I had to do a club and
- 18:45Speaker 1: it was all calid, I have twenty five because um,
- 18:48Speaker 1: I would go in an old school segment, uh, new
- 18:50Speaker 1: school reygae um classics, things you wouldn't think I could do,
- 18:55Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I just loved having the
- 18:57Speaker 1: access to the music. Well, DJ used to carry your crates. Um,
- 19:00Speaker 1: you know that's the initiation, you know, before they get
- 19:03Speaker 1: him Miami. You know a lot of the young DJs
- 19:05Speaker 1: that's doing that thing right now, they came up under
- 19:09Speaker 1: the cabin. Un brother were the best. Some brother from
- 19:11Speaker 1: UM either carrying my crates or helped me carry my
- 19:13Speaker 1: crates or opening up for me or um, you know,
- 19:16Speaker 1: giving opportunities. Um, I feel like it's important to give
- 19:19Speaker 1: people opportunities. What I'm saying, it's hard now because now
- 19:22Speaker 1: you don't need nobody to carry creates anymore. So how
- 19:24Speaker 1: did these young understood the DJ's got so chubby When
- 19:27Speaker 1: y'all going upstairs late at night, we eat late man
- 19:33Speaker 1: eating fried foods diner. You know how that is? Is
- 19:37Speaker 1: it hard to promote artists because you got like vital,
- 19:40Speaker 1: you got the hood, Yes, you got mo Vital. Do
- 19:43Speaker 1: they be like what he was saying. I'm watching it.
- 19:50Speaker 1: I'm like I wanted to jump in and say, yo
- 19:52Speaker 1: he said this. Yeah, I was wearing chump in the video.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Like yo he said this? What was going on? U? Nahum?
- 20:01Speaker 1: I think all my artists, you know what I'm saying,
- 20:03Speaker 1: a lot of them been on records and on the album.
- 20:04Speaker 1: But I think, um, I think you know, when it
- 20:07Speaker 1: comes to a Callid album, I think it's important not
- 20:10Speaker 1: only to feature some of my artists on album, because
- 20:12Speaker 1: they'll always be on the album, but I feel like
- 20:15Speaker 1: for them to be even bigger is for them to
- 20:18Speaker 1: do what I did and and create anthems and I'll
- 20:21Speaker 1: be there to help create the anthems with them, or
- 20:23Speaker 1: they might find the anthem and create it and I'll
- 20:25Speaker 1: be there to help support it. But I think it's
- 20:27Speaker 1: important for everybody to be who they are. Ace to
- 20:30Speaker 1: be Ace and Mavada to be mad to Bi Vado
- 20:33Speaker 1: and Calidi b Calid. But then you know, we're all
- 20:35Speaker 1: we the best and we're going to promote each other
- 20:37Speaker 1: and cross promote each other. I think that's how successful
- 20:41Speaker 1: UM Empire should be. And I think you'll respect the
- 20:44Speaker 1: artists more too. And you know, don't get a twisted
- 20:47Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They're gonna be on Calid Records, Na,
- 20:49Speaker 1: but Calid, Like think about it. I'm one of your artists. Yeah,
- 20:52Speaker 1: your first single has Wayne Drake and Chris Brown. Of course.
- 20:57Speaker 1: And if you don't, you be crazy how you say no.
- 21:00Speaker 1: It ain't saying no, It's called it is what it is.
- 21:03Speaker 1: It ain't no disrespect. Like if you take it in
- 21:05Speaker 1: a disrespectful way, that means you have insecurity of yourself
- 21:09Speaker 1: because I don't take it a disrespect. If somebody say,
- 21:12Speaker 1: if if Rosto put me on his album even though
- 21:15Speaker 1: I'm a part of it, Like, I don't take that
- 21:17Speaker 1: as a disrespect like artist, that's something with another DJ
- 21:20Speaker 1: you're not. No, I promote for them to do that,
- 21:23Speaker 1: like my artist. That's one thing. And and and if
- 21:27Speaker 1: you've been with me from day one, I'd be like,
- 21:28Speaker 1: makes you do all the DJ's records, Make sure you
- 21:31Speaker 1: do all every drop makes you if you yeah, Acehood,
- 21:34Speaker 1: he came from the birth, he will call me all
- 21:36Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, like that I don't butt you record
- 21:39Speaker 1: was tough, but for whatever reason, it didn't like. Well.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I think that record. I think that record is about
- 21:44Speaker 1: to open the doors for his next record. And speaking
- 21:47Speaker 1: of ace Hood, he got his new single about to
- 21:48Speaker 1: come out and it's gonna be real big guy willing
- 21:51Speaker 1: um and I'm very excited about it. He's very excited
- 21:54Speaker 1: about it. So be ready for a new ace Hood single. Um,
- 21:58Speaker 1: he'd been in the studio and if you will, actually
- 22:00Speaker 1: been in the gym. What he's been doing is he's
- 22:02Speaker 1: been recording so much and been in the gym so much.
- 22:06Speaker 1: He's getting ready for that aceh Hood takeover and and
- 22:09Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it because obviously y'all know, I've
- 22:13Speaker 1: been believing the Acehood from day one. And um, I
- 22:15Speaker 1: think he's one, you know, one of the new generation
- 22:18Speaker 1: greatest his delivery, and I think his next single is
- 22:22Speaker 1: gonna be huge. Do you feel like a lot of
- 22:25Speaker 1: DJs support each other like when they put out albums
- 22:27Speaker 1: and put out singles. Do you feel like I think
- 22:30Speaker 1: I think. I think I think they're starting to do
- 22:32Speaker 1: more of it now. Um, back in the days, I
- 22:35Speaker 1: think they wasn't um. I think they're doing more of
- 22:38Speaker 1: it now because of UM. Yeah, and and and not
- 22:43Speaker 1: even just that, Like I think you know the new
- 22:46Speaker 1: thing out there. You know, you get exposed as a
- 22:49Speaker 1: hater when you don't do it right. Who wants to
- 22:52Speaker 1: be a hater? So now you're exposed, you're not supporting,
- 22:57Speaker 1: and you can support and and and and the record
- 23:01Speaker 1: ll be successful. At least she's supported, Right, It's about
- 23:04Speaker 1: opportunities and support system. The music is gonna speak for itself.
- 23:07Speaker 1: You cannot stop a hit record. That's what I tell
- 23:11Speaker 1: people every day. You cannot stop a hit record. It's
- 23:14Speaker 1: gonna go. And I'm living proof of that, you know
- 23:16Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I'm not talking about this coward
- 23:18Speaker 1: or any artists. We might not like the person. You
- 23:21Speaker 1: can't stop a hit record. If it's gonna it's gonna go.
- 23:23Speaker 1: But don't be a hater because then you're exposed. Then
- 23:27Speaker 1: we look at you and think, look at you like
- 23:29Speaker 1: a boy, right saying we're gonna look at you. That's
- 23:34Speaker 1: the boy, you know what I'm saying, Like, why we're
- 23:37Speaker 1: gonna do that? So you either want to be somebody
- 23:41Speaker 1: that's gonna show love and support and and and respect
- 23:45Speaker 1: that or you're gonna be a hater. I know Y
- 23:48Speaker 1: got a hot single with ric Love. I like that
- 23:50Speaker 1: song when you know vy he'd been doing this for
- 23:52Speaker 1: a long time. But we don't be trying to get
- 23:54Speaker 1: people to play his record exactly. That's what I'm saying.
- 23:58Speaker 1: People have too much. Whatever you should, you should, I
- 24:01Speaker 1: just don't. But you know you should. It is because
- 24:03Speaker 1: if if I support you and your stuff in any
- 24:05Speaker 1: DJ out there, I expect the same. And if you don't, no,
- 24:11Speaker 1: they believe me. They paying attention. Were on the number one.
- 24:14Speaker 1: That's right. But don't get twisted. There's boys out there
- 24:17Speaker 1: now get twisted now now now and but but you
- 24:20Speaker 1: should have but you know, you should have a team.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Your team do that. You know what I'm saying. It
- 24:24Speaker 1: means more when you call. No, you gotta do it
- 24:27Speaker 1: yourself too. But you gotta have a team still because
- 24:30Speaker 1: I'm gonna call all the time. You know that. I
- 24:31Speaker 1: ain't got a problem doing that, but I gotta have
- 24:33Speaker 1: a team. You let me make some calls for you good.
- 24:36Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, supporting and and and that's
- 24:39Speaker 1: you know, that's part of building your brand and your empire.
- 24:42Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You gotta have your team.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Of course, you gotta be hands on. That's why were
- 24:46Speaker 1: your best and been so successful. It's because I made
- 24:49Speaker 1: tres hands on. If J can call people about title,
- 24:52Speaker 1: you can call people like you create your own. You know,
- 24:55Speaker 1: we've created a platform where we necessarily don't need the
- 24:58Speaker 1: same amount of calls that they do. That's still a
- 25:00Speaker 1: good thing to do, everybody. Yeah, bigger than what it is.
- 25:03Speaker 1: You know, if you help it, if you look out,
- 25:05Speaker 1: you do. If not, Now, what about artists, Like when
- 25:07Speaker 1: you hit them up to get on a song, people
- 25:11Speaker 1: generally like, yes, I gotta do it for calid or
- 25:13Speaker 1: is there No, that's definitely not true. Um, But because
- 25:16Speaker 1: I don't think arts would be nervous, like man, I
- 25:18Speaker 1: don't want to not do I think I think. Now
- 25:23Speaker 1: let's I'm gonna give you real talk. Um. I feel
- 25:26Speaker 1: like the the more artists has been out in our era,
- 25:34Speaker 1: meaning as in you know what I mean, Like you
- 25:36Speaker 1: would be surprised the newer generation is harder than the
- 25:42Speaker 1: big boys. No, no, no, they respect, don't get twisted.
- 25:47Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They gotta respect what I'm saying, um,
- 25:50Speaker 1: but I would think they would want to be of
- 25:52Speaker 1: course it's not. It's not that, but you you'd be
- 25:54Speaker 1: surprised of the process to get it done and to
- 26:00Speaker 1: do certain things. You know. I'm I come from, you know,
- 26:05Speaker 1: the real era. And the reason why I say the
- 26:07Speaker 1: real era is because it's where it got created from.
- 26:10Speaker 1: You su I'm saying, Um, you know I listened to
- 26:13Speaker 1: Nas Biggie and jay Z and Tupacket and Rick Ross.
- 26:17Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That's what I listened to.
- 26:19Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and everybody else comes second.
- 26:21Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I come from ah, um,
- 26:25Speaker 1: the code. You know, I respect the code. I feel
- 26:28Speaker 1: like the generation they're not been they're not been raised
- 26:32Speaker 1: with the code of respect of the code like some
- 26:36Speaker 1: people would do boys and things cool. So you can't
- 26:39Speaker 1: do boys with DJ Gallatt. You can't do boys with
- 26:43Speaker 1: DJ m V. You can't do boys, y'all. You just
- 26:47Speaker 1: can't because we're gonna put them in place and they're
- 26:50Speaker 1: gonna respect you after that because nobody some people won't
- 26:54Speaker 1: tell them and say that's wrong. You know what I mean?
- 26:57Speaker 1: Or you know what, we ain't doing nothing or I
- 27:00Speaker 1: can show you better than I can tell you you should.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I'm saying me, I come from a colde in respect
- 27:06Speaker 1: and you know, me making my records, it's always been love. Um.
- 27:10Speaker 1: If everybody done another you turned you down? Yeah here,
- 27:13Speaker 1: but you having to slap nobody like d No, I
- 27:15Speaker 1: never I never got turned I don't think I've never
- 27:17Speaker 1: got turned down. I probably they wasn't available at that time,
- 27:21Speaker 1: because sometimes I can't do a record with somebody wanted to,
- 27:24Speaker 1: but I might did it two years later. And I'm
- 27:26Speaker 1: cool with that, right because sometimes people have an album
- 27:28Speaker 1: coming out of there. Yeah it'd be something, but you know,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and then you know, you're starting to learn, you know,
- 27:35Speaker 1: you know, some people might want to get in the
- 27:36Speaker 1: way of the greatness, you know what I mean. And
- 27:39Speaker 1: I'm sure y'all know about stuff like that. And it
- 27:41Speaker 1: might not be a no, but it might be somebody
- 27:43Speaker 1: want to get away, get in the way of it.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Let me know when somebody's curving you though, of course.
- 27:47Speaker 1: And you know when people curve me, or if they
- 27:49Speaker 1: did curb me, it ain't I don't sweat it. That's
- 27:52Speaker 1: their loss, you know what I'm saying. I know what
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'm worth, but they can always come back. Can they
- 27:56Speaker 1: come back after that? Or is it dead to you? Um?
- 27:58Speaker 1: I ain't got no problem with them, you know what
- 28:00Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I don't have a problem with you.
- 28:02Speaker 1: If you really do some boy, let me ask you. You
- 28:05Speaker 1: You mention something you said. The younger artists or the
- 28:07Speaker 1: artists that come out now, it's a lot harder. They
- 28:08Speaker 1: feel a different. Could it be because they don't respect
- 28:10Speaker 1: the craft like a lot of the other ones do.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Like like I look at the freestyle Friday right, whether
- 28:15Speaker 1: it's fabulous or Jada kiss right, and you could tell
- 28:18Speaker 1: that they love the craft. But like sometimes some of
- 28:21Speaker 1: these new artists, it seems like they do it for
- 28:22Speaker 1: the money, right because ye tell how they they're making
- 28:25Speaker 1: their songs and how they're moving. Yeah, I think, I think.
- 28:28Speaker 1: I think it's not their fault because I love the
- 28:31Speaker 1: new artists, you know what I'm saying. I got them
- 28:34Speaker 1: on my records in and I'm a fandom. But I think, um,
- 28:37Speaker 1: some of them haven't been fully educated, right because and
