  Speaker 5: We was having a great conversation off camera, and we
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: was talking about a lot of stuff that we wouldn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: expect legends to be hip hop because I did not
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: believe when you said that you manage all.
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: Your pages, yea, all your well, why do you manage
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: your own platforms?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean the real reason is because, first of all,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm a nerd, you
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, so I'm interested in shit
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: like that, you know what I mean. The second part
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: is that I want to be able to know what's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: going on and I want people to hear from me
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: directly if I want to do it. And thirdly, like
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you know, when you start respectfully like a bunch of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: social media companies and all that, they don't necessarily get
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: your voice. So I don't need like a you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a fourteen year old girl from Michigan trying to put
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: verbas together that she thinks is gonna sound.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Like ll what's up? Dog? You know? This is the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: goat I was if you you know what I mean.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Like, now, are you monetizing your pages?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Are you monetizing your pages?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I don't really mind.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's a yes, no or no, right,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: because I mean my life I monetized, dog, Like I'm
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: pretty monetized. So the short answer is, do I focus
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: on the monetization of the pages themselves?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: No, I don't do.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I have like little merch shops on some of the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: page of course, But do I like go out of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: my way to you know, no, I do not. But
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: but I'm not any for that per se. But that's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: not but you know what, that's not a bad idea
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: for me to focus Like.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: That's actually good, Like I probably need to do that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just a radar personality. But I get a nice
• 2:13

• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Monitors, I need to get as much money as you

  Speaker 3: Listen, you know I'm gay for it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm so, I really wanted to ask you. I just
• 2:45

• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, I was sixteen, you know, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: was in a crew and like all the dudes had
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: names that kind of like applied to going after females,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So it would be like
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the super Lover this one and a man playboy Mikey,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and so I made the LLL was Ladies love Cool James,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like that was you know
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: our thing. You know, we wanted to, you know, but ladies,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we want we want to, you know, we wanted more
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: than a participation trophy, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: he really wanted to be in the game, you know
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So and I know you were one of the very
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: first people to get a record deal at a very
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: young age and a time where like it was so
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: hard to get deals and be in the music industry.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You're at the piet I say, the pioneer, so.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I make it even So, I was the first artist
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: on deaf Jam, right, So we started the label that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: death Jam was a production company and they it was they.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Rick Rubin one of the found the founder of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: logo and the actual label. He it was on a
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: street The name of the label was street Wise Party
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Time and it was death Jam Productions. I bought a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: song by this artist back then. His name was Tela
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: rock still Is and I ended up sending in a demo,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and you know, we ended up starting the label deaf Jam,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and I was the first artist. Russell Simmons and Rick
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Rubin started the label and I was the flagship artist.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: So all of the things that came out after that,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: all of the artists that you can think of that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: were on deaf Jam came were birth from that from
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that moment, and I started that. I was sixteen years
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: old when we started the label and I got on
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: so and then it was but it was independent. Then
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: we signed a deal with CBS and got major distribution
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and things.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you for saying that, because I didn't know that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: it was independent at first.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I thought, oh, yeah, no, it was completely Yeah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: See when I when I started, there were no there
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was no hip hop industry, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So you basically created the genre.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: No, I definitely was a fan of the genre from
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the beginning. So I became a fan of eight years old, right,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you know, but before they made rap records, before they
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: were records, it was all on tapes and on mixtapes
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and like what we would call blend tapes today. You
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: would catch him at the parks and stuff like that, right,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So I, you know, I became a fan of eight.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: When I was eleven or twelve, I started writing, right,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and then when I was fourteen, I started trying to.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Make a demo, and then at age sixteen we started
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Death Jam.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: But there was labels like sugar Hill, and there were
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: labels like Enjoy, and they were labels like Tommy Boy,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: which were early but they but death Jam was the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: first label that that that in the modern era, because
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of like art. There's there's modern postmodern,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: there's contemporary, right, Well, death jam ushered in a modern
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: era for the time, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: all those.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Other labels were we were.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Like pre you know what I'm saying, Like they were
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: like they were contemporaries, and then all of a sudden,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: death jam are ushered in the modern era.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: You date, so you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Said, like at eight years old is when you when
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: you got the love of music?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: So who inspired you? Who were you listening to?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So there was there was there was a Treacherous Three,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: There was the Feelers four.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: There was a Foursome Seeds.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: There was a Cold Crush you know, which is like JDL,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Almighty KG, Grand Master CAZ. There was you know, there
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: was you know the Fourth MC's, you know Mercury and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: all you know, all of them from Staten Island. There
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: was a fantastic Romantic five, Whip a Whip. There was
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: all these different artists that never really recorded. Then there
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: was also Grandmaster Flash in the Furious five and the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Treacherous Three and the Crash Crew and the Fearless four
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and Zulu Nation and all these different groups that were
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in this small world in New York. You know what
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, and we were just kind of exposed to it,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I was like, I'm
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: like a kind of a hybrid of sorts because I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: was a.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Fan of the very I was that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Fan at the very beginning, you know what I'm saying,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And also got the.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Like record very young.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So because of that, like my chronological contemporaries would be
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: like Jay and Pack and Biggie. Chronologically from an age standpoint, it's.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Like Jay and Pack and Big and all them.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But from a rap standpoint, I'm like ten fifteen years earlier,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying in terms of hip hop,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: because I started so young, you.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Like I was like, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I just wasn't a kiddie rapper.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I started very young, but I didn't come out as
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a kiddy rapper, So nobody ever saw me as that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back with more of a Buller Alert show.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: How do you feel about hip hop in today's age?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I think I don't. I don't have any issues with it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I think that you know, see anything, The key is
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that anything that you do is going to evolve and change, right,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So the question becomes, here's the difference.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Here's the difference with hip hop.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, it's a big word, but it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the democratization has taken place.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: So what does that mean?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Basically, what it means is that now everybody can play
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: in the NBA. Right, It's like like today in the NBA,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Steph and Kad and you know and and you know
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and everybody you could think of that you love. They
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: they are in a world. They're in a like a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: like a walled garden. And you can't play in the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: NBA just because you want to play, right, okay, even
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: if you bounce the ball. See well, in hip hop,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: when I first started, it was like that. It was
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: like you can't play unless you at a certain level
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: or a certain skill set and all that that changed.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: The Internet changed that. So now everybody, anybody can who
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: can bounce the ball can play. Is that a bad thing?
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it is? Sometimes it isn't. It depends. Like an
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: artist like Soldier Boy wouldn't have happened when we first
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: started that that wouldn't have been possible.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: That story Soldier bore character stream, you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Know, not the.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Gotcha he liked that ship. Look at him. I'm going
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: he don't wower y'all. No, I was really just thinking
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: like that, what son?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But you know what, the reason why I use him
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: as an example was because he was that. He's the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: first he was And I just talked about it earlier
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to SOLDI, I love you bro about with Jady no
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: my man, Ray. But the thing is, because of the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: way YouTube happened and the way it emerged, it was
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: there was no real gatekeepers involved with his success.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: That's why his story couldn't have happened.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: He's you know, you know, he made a great song
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and you know with that first song and it went
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: from there and all that. But that was the thing.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So it's like, those are the differences in hip hop.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: The other differences in hip hop is that now you
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: know the current society, the mindset is much more layered, right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: It's a more layered way of thinking. So you know
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: when we when we were first started, you make a song,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you make a rhyme, you make a record, that was it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Or you make a rhyme, you wrap it a party,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: You make a rhyme, you make a record, maybe you
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: make a video.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Now, Like I was saying earlier to somebody, a girl
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: would make a song, then you make a rhyme that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: she's thinking about a video, and then she's thinking about
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a brand, and then she's thinking about monetization of pages
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and thinking about and she's thinking about her she's thinking
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: about all of the ways to create an ecosystem around
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: themselves that goes beyond just the craft. So that's the difference,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, That's like the major difference.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Like it's no structure, basically what you're saying with the
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: new generation.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Now there is structure.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I just think it's a it's a much more it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a it's a much more savvy way.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Of approaching the art form.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: What happens though, is now the one the one thing,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the one thing that you got to remember, you know
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying is that because of that, sometimes sometimes
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: not always, sometimes they don't focus on the craft as
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: much because they're so focused on being It's like they're
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: so focused on being a star that they maybe not
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: bouncing the ball as much.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: You feel me, they're not playing with the rock as much.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So you know, you know, you know, it's a little
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: harder to get a Kyrie because you know, Kyrie would
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: be like over here worrying about his T shirt line
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: instead of bouncing the ball.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: So we did speak about how it's a we know
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: that hip hop is changing, it's evolving as an artist,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: do you feel that you have to do that as well?
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Like you need to involve evolve, like of what you
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: think the people may want to hear at this day
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: and age. And I bring that up because I know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: you know, passion is out and it gave me nostalgia vibes.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: You know, it took me back to like real hip hop.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so so here's my thing with that, right, you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: can't fake create, you know what I'm saying, like not
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: If you want to last, you gotta do what you love.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Now what does that mean? That means you got to
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: really pay attention. You got to understand the mindset.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Of the word.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You can't make music that reaches the people if you
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: don't understand the people.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: If you don't know that people are still smelling pissy elevators.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And you know, and you don't know that people are
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you know, sleeping on the floor to avoid gunshots, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: if you don't understand danger and if you only living
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: in your star bubble, you know, you're gonna be boring,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be leading with your wallet, and ultimately that
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: shit is gonna be goofy, you know what I mean.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Like that's where it's gonna end up right now in
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: terms of like what people are gonna want to hear.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: The way I look at it is like this.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: If I was sixteen, if I was nineteen, if I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was twenty two, I don't really care about your resume.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: That shit don't matter to me. I respect it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: But if you want to impress me when I press play,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I gotta like that shit. Like that's ultimately where like
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: all that other shit is cool, it's great.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, go yeah, yeah, yeah, man, you're the man.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: You did this. Yeah cool?

• 14:01
  Speaker 3: why that happens. Let me tell you what it is.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: First of all, you know what really happens. People just
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: forget about the world. Man, They just forget that the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: world exists, and it becomes so self absorbed that they
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't change.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: They don't adapt. They don't. And the other thing is, see,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: were you never like that?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: No, but but there are moments when you are more
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: closed than other moments. You got to be self aware.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: He keeps you grounded or you gotta have I mean,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the short answer is you can't be an arrogant asshole.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the short answer. You gotta have faith
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: in God. You got actual staff? Is he is he
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: an asshole?
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: You know? Paid good?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'll answer no, but I'll answer I
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: would say nine of the time I'm not.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: And you know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: What brings that tempercent out people asking me that question.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, like, you know, you
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: just got to be like listen, you just gotta pay attention.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, You just got to pay
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: attention to care.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: And also what I was going to say is, you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: as you mature in your life, right, you still got
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to be willing to learn from everybody.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Some people and I learned this just from me, Like I've.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Had dudes like that I looked at as for quote
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: unquote big homies. Right, but maybe in my life I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: may have done some things and you know, surpassed some
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: of the things that they did or took it to
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: another level. But they because they are older than me,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: they think they can't learn from me. That's a big mistake.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: So when I you know, if I hear you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: somebody from a different generation two three generations from me
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: talking about yo yo.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: You should check this shit out. I checked this shit out.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I actually pay attention, like it doesn't bother me, Like,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with learning from you know people,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: So I think that that's kind of where that that
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: disconnect happens a lot of times, you know what I'm saying,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of dudes, like and even some females,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they don't like to learn from people that are younger
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: than them.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: That's fact.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: They don't like that shit like and I don't really
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: know why that is, but that's like.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: They be stuck in their waist because it's like a
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: lot of family members too that you would be younger,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: but you might be more experienced, Like you traveled the world,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: You've seen different type of kol tracts, and then you
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: try to go back home to the neighborhood.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Look, I need to learn that. Look, so I got
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a little dad's stomach. Oh here you go.

• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you're a natural at that, not more than music?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Music?
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: On first love, music put me in position to do
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. I love it and I'm grateful I
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: could do it. And you should never limit yourself. And
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: if you have more than one talent. You should use
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: them all, you know what I'm saying. But music's my
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: first is it?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: N Cisdore?
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I did it? I did it for fifteen years? Wow? Yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Did you have a lot of friends that were peers
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: of yours in the music business that the more they
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: see you evolve and you know, they kind of was
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: stuck on the music. Did you give like a lot
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: of jealousy, like frenemies when people was like, man, he
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: like doing like he's still going.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: We're trying to figure it out. You're laughing because well.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I'm laughing because you know, the music industry in general
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: and entertainment is full of coopetition. Because that's what you're
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: talking about in front of me. It's not as much
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: front of me as it is coopetition. So yeah, you
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: deal with some of that. But you know, my job
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: is to show people as possible. I'm just showing dudes
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: and showing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: People that, yo, you could keep going at a high level.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: It's like you see bron playing in the twenty first year.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I'm doing that in music years. You know, I'm just
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: showing people what's possible, you know what i mean. Like
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: that's the fun thing about it, you know, just showing
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: them what's possible. And if you do catch a little
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: bit of that hate and all that, I mean, whatever,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: like you know what we're gonna do. Well, you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: go home and you know, practice a violent and sob
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: because somebody's upset with your success. I don't think so
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: bro hold that man, Yeah, you know, how's that working
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: out for you?
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Hating? Oh? How's that working out for you? You know
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: what I mean?
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Do you still feel like that hip hop needs to
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: have a retirement plan? I say, you know that was
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: going viral or where you were talking about there needs
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: to be some type of retirement plan for hip hop artists.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I mean that's a two sided question.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: First of all, artists can't You can't retire from art.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means. Okay, And you
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: know hip hop and being what I do in creating,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: that's it becomes a source of income. But it's not
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: a job, it's a life in it. You know, when
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you're an artist, you're an artist, that's what you are.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: You paint, you sculpt, you direct, you write films like
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you are what you are like, So there is no
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: retirement from that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: That's a lifelong commitment.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: If you're really that I'm The other thing I want
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to say before answer is that, you know, I'm very
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: comfortable with somebody looking at me and saying he's a rapper,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: he's an MC. You don't have to say nothing else
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: about nothing else, And I'm good with that. I don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: need to, like, like, I'm not gonna undermine a craft
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: that has changed the world by sheepening it and saying like, oh,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I have to do other things to validate my existence
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: because this ain't enough.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: That's bullshit.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: This is enough. Hip hop is enough, you know what
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. Like I started death Jam, you know, I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: came up with the term goat.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: You know you have any stocks?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Do you have any ownership?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going the piece of death Jam early on. But
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the thing is, it's, you know, there's two parts of
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that conversation too, right, like, yeah, I'm doing great, but
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: that's not really the What it is is what we
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: get caught up in sometimes is And that's the one
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: thing about the new generation that's very interesting, and you
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: got to be able to make the fine distinction. What
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Miles Davis did for music has nothing to do with
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: his bank account. Don't make those things the same. That's
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a that's a big mistake. There's nothing wrong with monetization.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: You should capitalize, you should maximize. You should optimize everything
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you're doing. But don't get it twisted. You can make
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: a cultural impact and not necessarily monetize it. The right
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: brothers ain't make no money for cracking the cold on
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the plane you dig like, like, but they they impacted
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: the world, so like, I get it, but they're kind
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: of separate, right, okay, so so so and then what
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: was the first part of the question you had asked?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Just that first part because we went off on a tangent,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: which which one the one I asked the Ferrari asks? No,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the one you the Ferrari about about death Jam, about
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the stock in death Jam.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: No, No, before I don't know, it might be.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: How you driving, but I was really listen to you.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's just like bottom line is it was
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: like the true sides of it, the money and the
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and the music and the.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Oh you was talking about like you don't like how
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: the new generation is uh is trying to kind of
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: base people's success based on the money in there.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very that's a slippery slope. Right, that's
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: a slippery slope, because that's not it doesn't matter how
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: much money Prince had, bro say less.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: That's a different skill set and it's important. I'm not bro.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Like you see her shirt right there, that shirt you
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: have on right there, that paid him full shirt.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: The real guys in that movie.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I hung with them every day from age seventeen to twenty.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: The real guys, like the real like like the real
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Alpo and the real rich Porter and not Rico Alpo
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: and the real rich Porter and the real Az.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Those are my friends. So what I'm saying is, like,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: how accurate was that movie? Huh?
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: How accurate was that movie?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: It was fairly accurate. Okay, it was fairly accurate.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It was on you know, some of it was accurate
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: because you know, yeah, it was fairly fairly you know.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: It was some changes made to it that I'm sure
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: a Z would feel he you know, but it was fair.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: It was some parts of it that was it was real.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Like the impact on the culture in Harlem at the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: time was it was all that. It was probably even
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: more impactful if you lived it seeing it, you know
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: We'll be right by, stay tuned with more of the
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: ball or Alert show. So we all of us in
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: this room, we know that you are a legend, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: I just want to know what do you want your
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: legacy to be?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: So, you know what's funny, nobody gets to correct their tombstone.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: You don't know what your legacy is gonna be. And
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: why do we know that? Because if I put this
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: bottle of water on the Internet and say it's a
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: bottle of water, somebody's gonna.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's actually a plastic thing without Oh, actually have
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: some It couldn't be vodka, could like, they're going to
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: beef about this, right, So I don't worry about legacy.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: It's about being in the moment. It's about just planting
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the seeds. You know what I'm saying, Like, yo, listen, man,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: apple tree, keep growing apples to it's finished. Man, orange,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: keep growing oranges till it's finished. Like all that legacy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you know what I'm saying, because everybody's
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: gonna remember me for something different.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? What I want to do is,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you know, I just want to do.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Dope shit and do cool shit my entire life and
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: show people that it's possible in that dreams don't have
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: deadlines and you could keep getting it and keep having fun.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: And that's the because see that's the thing that people like.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing we got to remember. Everybody's so
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: focused on getting the money. And the money comes, it does,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it really does if you're great at what you do,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: But are you having fun? Like are you having fun?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Like like's I don't like, I don't ever hear it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Like the reason I started getting in the rhyme and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: MC and the hip hop is to have fucking fun,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to have some fun, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the only vision you want money is to have fun.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Like people forget that. You don't want money to like
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the craziest thing. The only reason you want money is
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: to have fun. That is the only reason fun. And
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: take care of you because even taking.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Care of people is fun, like.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Even being there for your mama, It is fun being
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: there for different people. So it's like, so we can't
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: get caught up in like just money, money, money leading
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: with your wallet leading with you what it's like, Yeah, okay,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: we're gonna get that, okay, prime example, like with the music, right, listen,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: a rapper. He comes out, he's talking that money talk.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: You love it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Twelve years later he's still talking that money talk. Now
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you're looking at it like, dude, do you have anything else.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: To talk about?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Like, my god, please just just could you put a
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: black T shirt on and talk about taking fucking necklace off?
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Talk anything? Please? Please? Bro?
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Like yo, did anything happened recently that you care about
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: So those are the So that's what we gotta remember,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: because you know what, all of usdden here we different generations.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: But I bet you know Bob Marley, you god damn right,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: you just I'll just watched this movie on the planet.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: You know, you see that and you know why you
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: because he talked about something, because he has something to say.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: And guess what, love free. And you don't care what
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Bob Marley had in the bank. You might have died
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: with a half a million, do you care?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: No?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: And that because that's not the metric for success. It
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: is the metric for financial success, but it's not the
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: metric for cultural success. Bob Marley did not have to
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: be rich. He was rich, and what he did and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: what he created and what he put in the world,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: you know, what I'm saying, that shit matters be you
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like I was talking to somebody earlier.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: That's why I said, like, you got these dudes, the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: first thing they want to do, they won't leave with
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: their wallet, you know what I'm saying. But Homie, the
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: wallet can't uncorner.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: You, facts will it can't?
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: You know, a wallet can't you know, it could get
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: you access to somebody who wants access to that wile
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: we know what that is.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: But that's a different conversation, is what it is.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're comfortable with that, great, But I'm just saying
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: it can't uncorner you, you know what I mean.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: So that's that's kind of anything that I appreciate it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, some they did.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I watched it happen.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Commercial. Yeah, nobody, nobody was on that, and you took
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a chance for a gap commercial as well. So I
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: talked about it. So he's talking about a long time
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: ago I had. There was a Damon John who's on
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: a Shark tank. Him and Keith and some other guys.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: They started a clothing line called Fooble Forced Bias. I'm
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: one of the owners of foolble Was. We did that
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and it was a nineties I don't ninety something. So
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: it did well, it blew up. But one of the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: things I did was I had to do with Gap commercial.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I wore a fooble hat in the Gap commercial, you.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean? Like, and now to think it
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: was yo, you know what bottom line is, this is
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: not gonna hurt them.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: They got a trillion doledge and it's gonna help my
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: homies and it's gonna help us.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: And so I just made that decision. Listen. You know
• 30:03

  Speaker 2: Mythology all the time, the Trojan Horse. You know, we
• 30:06

• 30:10

  Speaker 3: they didn't know that.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: No, no, they didn't know what kind of hell it
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: was either no.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: They said, well, you know, you can't wear this hat
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: because it's it's not a you know, it's not you
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: don't know it's not you don't have a clearance.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't worry about it. I own it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: It's like, okay, that was that of the infamous, but.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: You knew he was doing something big company but he was.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course listen, of course, like I put
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: like DMX, DMX's first record, well not his first record,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: but his first joint that you know, we put him
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: That was on my four three two one song. I
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: introduced DMX to the world, and you know, and.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: When I shot you, I introduced Foxy Brown to the
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: world and put you know, Damon John in the morning
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: we started death jam, right and then you know, you
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: introduced the term goat to the world, and you know,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: you you know, like and then we now I'm just
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: telling you all the different things like and like you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: like Bill Clinton's inauguration, like I was the first rap
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: orders that I wrapped up the inaugurations, and you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: like all of these different things, like all of that
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: only happens because I've really loved to get into that
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: notebook and write them rohns. Lebron's life only happens because
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: he loves bouncing that ball. Yo, you gotta love like
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: like man, everybody wants to shape pop Champagne in the
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: locker room. You gotta love it first, you know what
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I mean? You got and you gotta define what winning
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: is for you, what that means to you too, because
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: you know, like I don't like, I'm not going to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: look at my stream and look at this guy's stream,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: and if he has, I have to look at Okay,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: where am I coming from, you know, and where am
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I going? And I have to look at my life.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: It's like some in some certain certain sense. You gotta
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: play against yourself too. You know, you can't get too
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: caught up in that because you know, as human beings,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: we have a tendency to focus on anything that we
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: think is doing better than us, and that can make
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: you start sliding, to get you in a negative space.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: So you can't do that, and it can make you
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: think you're not progressing either exactly, and that creates a
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: feeling which attracts more of that same shit and over again,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: so you get stuck.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: You feel me, Yeah, all right.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: So before we get out of here, we got something
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: called a pep talk where you look at the camera
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and you give them some words of motivation. Okay, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: now we have a time for lkj's pep talk.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I would say the pep talk would be you could
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: do anything you put your mind to. That's these are facts.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: The keto is that you got to be open to
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: receiving what it is you want to do, and you
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: really gotta put yourself in a a in a space
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: of gratitude and and go for it wholeheartedly. And you can't.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: And the other thing I would say is that in
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: order to be a winner, you have to be comfortable
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: with the idea that you might lose. You know what
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, like like, you can't win if you're afraid
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: to lose.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: You date so and.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Before you do that, we have something for you.
