0:41
Speaker 1: and I'm an artist over at Devon. So how did
0:47
Speaker 1: you start off in the band, because you obviously have
0:49
Speaker 1: roots in the Bay and from what I understand, the
0:51
Speaker 1: Yogotti shit popped off because you put them on the
0:54
Speaker 1: plow ship right. Yeah. Yeah, that was my first an
0:56
Speaker 1: R record. Man. I started as an intern like with
1:00
Speaker 1: you we go miss shout out to Chewy the legend,
1:02
Speaker 1: that's my legend, like my big homie Chewy. And then
1:05
Speaker 1: from being at the station running around with Vine and
1:08
Speaker 1: my emotion, then they talked. They forced me out of
1:12
Speaker 1: DJ you know what I'm saying. I used to just
1:13
Speaker 1: kind of play around on people stuff after the shows.
1:17
Speaker 1: My emotion was like, bro, don't disrespect our culture like that,
1:19
Speaker 1: like go practice how to blend and match the VPM
1:23
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So just getting into that, and
1:26
Speaker 1: I started picking out local records that end up becoming
1:28
Speaker 1: something in the Bay. So I guess they started believing
1:31
Speaker 1: in my musical talent or records. Rod I can't stand
1:35
Speaker 1: you the R and B record and I was picking
1:39
Speaker 1: a bunch of B side records like plies, I'm really
1:42
Speaker 1: from the hood. Uh, just that type of stuff to
1:44
Speaker 1: where Vine and then was like he kind of know
1:47
Speaker 1: what he talking about. They ain't give me the food,
1:49
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And uh, I realized Radio man,
1:52
Speaker 1: them dudes, it's like it's only four spots, you know
1:55
Speaker 1: what I'm Yeah, So I knew they was making a
1:58
Speaker 1: lot of money. I knew them dudes wasn't about to
2:00
Speaker 1: quit or retiring tho time soon. So I had to
2:03
Speaker 1: make a transition. And I was also like the little
2:06
Speaker 1: go get it dude at the station, like go get
2:09
Speaker 1: some coffee, other go get it, like street go get it,
2:13
Speaker 1: Like we need some bitches. We artists, and yeah, we
2:16
Speaker 1: needed something to hold us down, that type of stuff.
2:18
Speaker 1: So I was building that relationship with a bunch of
2:20
Speaker 1: the artists and gott he was one of the artists
2:24
Speaker 1: that I went to build a relationship with. I don't
2:28
Speaker 1: know he took a liking be men. His cousin took
2:30
Speaker 1: a liking it to me. They invited me to the studio.
2:33
Speaker 1: Radio was already like dying out for me, and uh ship,
2:37
Speaker 1: I was in Oakland. They hit me up, sent me
2:38
Speaker 1: the address, but the studios in Burbank. You know, everybody
2:42
Speaker 1: think California is close. It's crazy. Yeah, so I'm like,
2:46
Speaker 1: fuck it. I just got in the car and drove
2:48
Speaker 1: out here. Then I went to the studio, had to
2:51
Speaker 1: go walk through a bunch of Memphis niggas, and you know,
2:54
Speaker 1: they was like, play some beats, and it's when the
2:56
Speaker 1: mustard was cracking, right, I'm different was out everybody one
3:01
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah yeah, and uh so I started playing
3:04
Speaker 1: a bunch of beats. But Bro was like he kind
3:06
Speaker 1: of was like he wasn't feeling them. He's like, man,
3:08
Speaker 1: you got one more record. And then I called Pelow.
3:11
Speaker 1: I'm like, please send me a beat. And it ended
3:13
Speaker 1: up being act right. Well, it's a little joke though.
3:17
Speaker 1: I think he was kind of dissing this though still
3:19
Speaker 1: because he said, I'm going going back to the bay, recip.
3:22
Speaker 1: I think he was sending me back to the bay
3:24
Speaker 1: like you're catching as like sending us back to the bay.
3:27
Speaker 1: But he said it in the whole room, was like,
3:29
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like A and RS in there.
3:31
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the an R was. Back
3:32
Speaker 1: then they all went crazy for it. So what is that?
3:38
Speaker 1: Like you said you didn't know what the an R was,
3:40
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know what an R was.
3:41
Speaker 1: It is the easiest way to lie and say you're
3:43
Speaker 1: in the industry. That sounds about right, But what exactly
3:46
Speaker 1: does an an R do? Like what is like what
3:49
Speaker 1: is the title entail in twenty twenty two? Well, staying
3:52
Speaker 1: for artists and repertoire and uh, it's different A and
3:57
Speaker 1: RS though you got your lifestyle A and RS. What's
3:59
Speaker 1: that me? Those are people are gonna make sure you
4:02
Speaker 1: at all the right parties, they can get them pictures.
4:04
Speaker 1: They're gonna make you look like a sounds like a
4:06
Speaker 1: publicist to me. It could be you know that's an
4:08
Speaker 1: A and R. You got your creatives who like in
4:12
Speaker 1: the studio, picking the beat, helping you with the song,
4:16
Speaker 1: getting the feature for you. That's what I'm more on,
4:19
Speaker 1: the creative an R. And then you got your ad
4:21
Speaker 1: man's making sure you following that budget, know how to
4:25
Speaker 1: close out your album and all that stuff. So so
4:27
Speaker 1: like if you need to get like a side agreement
4:30
Speaker 1: with an artist that hopped on some ship or yeah,
4:32
Speaker 1: they making sure the producer agreement is done, credits and
4:35
Speaker 1: the lyrics. Yeah. Yeah, So it's a few different ones,
4:38
Speaker 1: but there's a few different Those are ones who actually
4:41
Speaker 1: get salaries. Yeah. Now the ones where people be hustling,
4:44
Speaker 1: you know, they're full of ship. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's
4:47
Speaker 1: the easiest job to lie about through the homies. You
4:52
Speaker 1: just entourage. I think that some perception of what an
4:56
Speaker 1: an R is that maybe inaccurate, is a liaison to
5:04
Speaker 1: get artists signed to a major label. Like if you're
5:07
Speaker 1: in A and R somewhere, you got the power to
5:09
Speaker 1: sign somebody. I mean, if you had a real job,
5:11
Speaker 1: you do okay, if you get it, if you had
5:14
Speaker 1: a real like you know, I was at Motown before
5:17
Speaker 1: I'm at CMG. Now, so like I signed artists. I
5:22
Speaker 1: guess it's how much power you got at the label.
5:24
Speaker 1: But that's your job to help find or sign someone
5:27
Speaker 1: to c MG. Yeah. I just did the Mazi deal. Oh,
5:30
Speaker 1: shout out to MOSEI. Yeah, MII my boy so free Mazi. Yeah.
5:34
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to Dave and his team
5:36
Speaker 1: because his instagram is like you never went crack. I
5:39
Speaker 1: just saw he did a fucking promo plug for the
5:42
Speaker 1: past company. I said, oh, they was working, but you
5:46
Speaker 1: know I did Mazi. I brought a few people to
5:48
Speaker 1: CMG that just didn't work out, but they still are
5:51
Speaker 1: people any other West Coast folks. Uh brought ke Maaya
5:55
Speaker 1: early really yeah yeah yeah, pre pre four hundred, yeah,
5:59
Speaker 1: pre four hundred. This was I was probably like one
6:01
Speaker 1: of the people early people at the crib for the
6:05
Speaker 1: for the How does it feel? You know what I'm saying,
6:07
Speaker 1: Like we broke super slept On. She's incredible, you know,
6:10
Speaker 1: she wanted the dopeest. I brought Days Loaf early. Wow,
6:14
Speaker 1: I'm talking about twelve hundred followers. Somehow, she's like one
6:17
Speaker 1: of the most influential female rappers. Now when you hear
6:19
Speaker 1: all these when you hear all these new girls, I'm like, damn,
6:21
Speaker 1: this sounds like a fake as day Loaf is my
6:24
Speaker 1: heart thought. I talked to Loaf all the time, So yeah,
6:26
Speaker 1: she's dope. She should be back at it soon. Who
6:29
Speaker 1: else we brought over there? You know, me and God.
6:32
Speaker 1: He got this thing when people get hot, we check
6:33
Speaker 1: our dms to see if they hit us got you
6:36
Speaker 1: The majority of the times like they reached out, They
6:39
Speaker 1: reached out. We might have just missed it or just
6:42
Speaker 1: like we had the convo but it didn't turn into
6:45
Speaker 1: nothing right right? Well, God, he's also doing these deals
6:47
Speaker 1: where he's just like fucking on Instagram handing some of
6:50
Speaker 1: like a million dollars got a different time, Christ, Yeah,
6:56
Speaker 1: I want to know it's all that cash recoupable? That's yo, Gotti.
7:00
Speaker 1: Question that like I just handed you three hundred thousand
7:04
Speaker 1: dollars in cash, not not a wire, not a check.
7:08
Speaker 1: Does this go over? Is this part of our ballance?
7:12
Speaker 1: But you know, if Bro believe in you, he all
7:15
Speaker 1: that stuff handled later, right Like I had the time?
7:18
Speaker 1: Got he doing stuff with people before they even signed
7:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I mean I know, like the last
7:22
Speaker 1: time I was in the studio with him, he just
7:24
Speaker 1: had like a SoundCloud playlist. He was just new ship.
7:27
Speaker 1: He was fucking like undiscovered people. Yeah nah, he owned it.
7:30
Speaker 1: Man our our A and R team is it ain't big,
7:33
Speaker 1: but it's it's we We solidified like it's me CMG
7:37
Speaker 1: Breezy CMGB. And then even like little Bella over an interscope,
7:43
Speaker 1: like our little sit, she'd be on her ship too,
7:46
Speaker 1: uh for you like uh obviously being a West Coast
7:50
Speaker 1: guy coming into such a dope position, a prominent position
7:53
Speaker 1: with us. I guess the Southern label if you would
7:56
Speaker 1: call it, how important you think that is, because I
7:59
Speaker 1: do feel like at times, really especially the Bay, the
8:03
Speaker 1: Bay's like its own world, and sometimes it's hard to
8:07
Speaker 1: be an artist from the Bay and penetrate the rest
8:10
Speaker 1: of the country. Yeah, people will take the Bay sound
8:13
Speaker 1: and make it that, make it national, you know, make
8:15
Speaker 1: it big, you know. But in terms of like just
8:19
Speaker 1: artists in the Bay area that you know, obviously, it
8:24
Speaker 1: feels like sometimes the ceiling is is not as high
8:27
Speaker 1: as if someone's from Memphis or someone's from Atlanta, you
8:29
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But now that that you have
8:32
Speaker 1: very representation and one of the hardest, you know, crews
8:35
Speaker 1: in the game, I mean for the Bay. You know
8:37
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, sometimes it's just the artist that
8:41
Speaker 1: we probably champion as not on because we got national artists.
8:44
Speaker 1: Yeah you got kaelin gz Go. Yeah, he's got what
8:48
Speaker 1: I'm saying, people making it. I just think it's the
8:51
Speaker 1: ones we champion not making it because we've seen them
8:54
Speaker 1: like grow. You know what I'm saying. I think like
8:56
Speaker 1: with your twenty four K, like it might look like
8:59
Speaker 1: he just popped out, but like I hosted the Talent
9:00
Speaker 1: Show with him, I didn't even pick him in the
9:02
Speaker 1: Talent Show. They told me. Wow. You know what I'm saying.
9:04
Speaker 1: I wish I did because I probably would have been
9:06
Speaker 1: locked in with him. But you know, it's different artists
9:09
Speaker 1: who like we just seen them work a lot, you
9:13
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like simb but we've seen something.
9:14
Speaker 1: He was probably like our first bait when we did
9:16
Speaker 1: the Bear your freshman list, I think he was on
9:19
Speaker 1: that list, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, sim has
9:21
Speaker 1: been acting for a very long Yeah. So I think
9:23
Speaker 1: it's just you know, sometimes it's not the ones that
9:26
Speaker 1: we all picked that actually get the shot. But you know,
9:29
Speaker 1: people who work hard, like symbol, like they still get
9:32
Speaker 1: their shot and they got the support from the crib.
9:34
Speaker 1: That's what I say. I said, like a lot of
9:37
Speaker 1: times people use that excuse, like lack of support from
9:40
Speaker 1: where they're from, as like an excuse why they're not bigger,
9:45
Speaker 1: as opposed to just looking in the mirror and saying
9:47
Speaker 1: I got to get to work, I gotta work harder. Yeah,
9:49
Speaker 1: that's the biggest It's always a reason, like I don't
9:51
Speaker 1: got no like issues outside at the crib, like when
9:54
Speaker 1: on some outside shit street shit. My only issues come
9:58
Speaker 1: from artists who all who like it's my fault, it's
10:01
Speaker 1: your fault, Like, yo, why didn't you sign me bro? Right?
10:03
Speaker 1: That shit's crazy? That's the only big idea. Yeah, yeah,
10:06
Speaker 1: what inspired you to start dropping records? I kind of wanted.
10:12
Speaker 1: I wanted my credit for some stuff that I was doing.
10:15
Speaker 1: And you know, when you're behind the scenes, like ain't
10:17
Speaker 1: too many people reading credits on albums on Spotify, right,
10:22
Speaker 1: and like when you like on some NR shit like
10:24
Speaker 1: only like industry people may know, like you might look
10:27
Speaker 1: like you're not doing ship to the world, right, So
10:30
Speaker 1: like I figured, like man I started doing some records,
10:34
Speaker 1: it made people start being like damn, that's bro who
10:36
Speaker 1: did this or that's who you know what I'm saying.
10:37
Speaker 1: I use it as my resume technically, And then when
10:42
Speaker 1: I looked up, I had like twelve thirteen records with
10:44
Speaker 1: some of the hottest people. So gott he encouraged me, like, bro,
10:47
Speaker 1: you should start putting out some records. Yeah why not? Yeah?
10:50
Speaker 1: So you were just putt because you had put together
10:52
Speaker 1: another record. Uh two or three years ago that was
10:55
Speaker 1: like g was on it. Who oh yeah days they
11:00
Speaker 1: Love God in GZ. Yeah that was when I was
11:02
Speaker 1: at Motown. Okay, okay, yeah yeah yeah yeah. So this
11:04
Speaker 1: is like your second go round with this, Yeah, this
11:06
Speaker 1: is my second deal. What happened? How did you get?
11:09
Speaker 1: Like with obviously shout out to Death Jam Death Jam
11:11
Speaker 1: doesn't have the craziest, like huge roster. It seems like
11:14
Speaker 1: it's a very small roster. You know, take a big sean,
11:17
Speaker 1: a white g. Yeah, I'm forgetting a bunch of We
11:21
Speaker 1: got some big But in terms of like you linking
11:24
Speaker 1: up with them, what was what was there? Like, Like
11:26
Speaker 1: how was that process? Uh? So I was fresh out
11:30
Speaker 1: of my deal with Motown, right and man, I kind
11:35
Speaker 1: of was trying to figure out like we was ready
11:37
Speaker 1: to go at Motown like the songs, was ready to
11:39
Speaker 1: go the features like, and then it just got shut down.
11:43
Speaker 1: So I just went back to A and R Heavy
11:45
Speaker 1: with Gotti and one of my boys, Halleen A and
11:50
Speaker 1: R already Death Jam. We probably talk every day anyway,
11:53
Speaker 1: and he was like, Broll, you got too many records,
11:55
Speaker 1: like I'm over here at death Jam like they need. Yeah,
11:58
Speaker 1: you represent the street like you're music is on some
12:00

12:05
Speaker 1: he was like, let's see if we could do something,

13:56
Speaker 1: wor Vezo so crazy. And now he's with well, he's
13:59
Speaker 1: gonna be back. I signed Viso that was my first
14:02
Speaker 1: artist of Motown. Oh really yeah, but that's dope to see.
14:07
Speaker 1: I don't know what his QC deals. Like QC's over
14:10
Speaker 1: there in the same building. It's gonna be funny that,
14:13
Speaker 1: Like now you're working with the same people. But I
14:15
Speaker 1: think they got to run it back again. Yeah he
14:19
Speaker 1: did what he again? Zo. I was like some people,
14:21
Speaker 1: I feel like a major label holds him back. Yeah.
14:25
Speaker 1: So like with VEZ when I first went to Motown,
14:27
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, y'all Detroit label, I mean still
14:30
Speaker 1: motowns from Detroit. I'm like, yeah, ain't well, he ain't
14:33
Speaker 1: got no rappers, you know, being Oakland in Detroit, Like
14:36
Speaker 1: I know, they cracking, Yeah, Detroit, and they kind of
14:39
Speaker 1: wasn't familiar. I'm like, Veso was just coming home, which
14:41
Speaker 1: is like the best promo you can ever have, its
14:44
Speaker 1: coming home from jail, unfortunately. But now Ethiopie was like,
14:49
Speaker 1: go get them. You know what I'm saying. I'm like, yo,
14:51
Speaker 1: they about to go up. This was before Doug, you
14:54
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I think right at that moment,
14:56
Speaker 1: it's like twenty eighteen, nineteen eighteen. Yeah, yep. So he
15:00
Speaker 1: came on from jail, signed him out the Halfway House.
15:03
Speaker 1: It was an experience for both of them. My first label,
15:05
Speaker 1: his first time being on a major. So I think
15:08
Speaker 1: we were just still trying to figure it all out
15:10
Speaker 1: together and you know, a little couple of restraints. But
15:15
Speaker 1: when he went off on his own, he got cracking
15:17
Speaker 1: and he went up. Yeah, yeah, they I think it's dope. Though.
15:20
Speaker 1: When he when he called me about it and he
15:22
Speaker 1: asked me my opinion, I said, well, you know, the personnel,
15:25
Speaker 1: like I already to manage it. You already kind of
15:28
Speaker 1: know the deal over there. So yeah, so now you
15:30
Speaker 1: got the insight on how you should move. But now
15:33
Speaker 1: the OPIU support her artists though, so and now got
15:36
Speaker 1: qc co signed. Yeah know he's hard him and Kode
15:40

15:45
Speaker 1: now shout out to my boy Viz. When it comes
15:49
Speaker 1: to putting out records, everybody's always very like you know,
15:54
Speaker 1: when we think of a guy like DJ Khaled, Yeah,
15:57
Speaker 1: like does he have to pay for the features? Do
15:59
Speaker 1: you have to pay an artist to be on a
16:01
Speaker 1: record or is it more of like I fuck with you,
16:04
Speaker 1: here's the verse if I don't know them or if
16:06
Speaker 1: they're not aware of my stuff, of course, like that's
16:08
Speaker 1: just business. But like my project is damn near CMG
16:12
Speaker 1: album time like part two? Really yeah, like I'm still CMG.
16:15
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying. You got everybody on there,
16:18
Speaker 1: the whole roster on there. Bad Glowrilla is TG gott
16:23
Speaker 1: he got it, I think gott He on there twice,
16:25
Speaker 1: Doug on there twice. Yeah, the whole team on there.
16:28
Speaker 1: So will it have the CMG logo on the back
16:30
Speaker 1: next to the deaf GM logo or is it just
16:32
Speaker 1: deaf jam play too much? I'm always conclude CMG like
16:36
Speaker 1: got the executive producing my album, so I mean, if
16:39
Speaker 1: he wanted the logo on there, I'm saying CMG on
16:41
Speaker 1: have the songs anyway, So that's I mean, shit, why not? Yeah?
16:45
Speaker 1: But features though, now you gotta like my first record
16:48
Speaker 1: was with Ross and G Right, I got Ross off
16:51
Speaker 1: of DM, like, I just sent him a DM. He
16:54
Speaker 1: did the verse, so I took care of him. I
16:56
Speaker 1: think they still giving me like a crazy discount just
16:58
Speaker 1: because of my affiliation with though. So you had to pay,
17:01
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like what everyone else has to pay. Yeah,
17:04
Speaker 1: I ain't paying with what they saying in the songs. Nah. Yeah.
17:07
Speaker 1: I feel like when an artist quotes what they're charging somebody,
17:12
Speaker 1: that is like if they don't know who the fuck
17:15
Speaker 1: you are, right right right, and you somehow got the
17:17
Speaker 1: verse and they know you got a bag. Like if
17:20
Speaker 1: a K pop by the way, shout out my guy, Gucci, Man,
17:22
Speaker 1: Gucci got a fucking crazy bag off a K pop
17:24
Speaker 1: group a few years ago, shout out Spencer. But like,
17:26
Speaker 1: if it's some shit like that, it's like, oh no, yeah,
17:30
Speaker 1: let's go high, Let's go high. But for the most part,
17:32
Speaker 1: it's like it was respectable enough to me to still
17:35
Speaker 1: shake their hand and have convo and you know what
17:38
Speaker 1: I'm saying, lock in with them. But I only had
17:40
Speaker 1: to pay like maybe three artists and I got seventeen songs.
17:44
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, yeah, I worked in my favorite the artist.
17:48
Speaker 1: You don't pay you, you cut them in a little
17:50
Speaker 1: more on the side because you know, I still producing
17:53
Speaker 1: A and R so you know, but like CMG is family,
17:56
Speaker 1: we don't keep pointing, we don't keep tabs on favors
17:58
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So pretty much was good. And
18:01
Speaker 1: then the rest of them is an artist from the crib,
18:03
Speaker 1: from off the base on your project. So I got
18:07
Speaker 1: my artists on there. Uh that I about say Day's

18:50
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Who else on it from
18:52
Speaker 1: the crib. It's a few people, but now the crib
18:55
Speaker 1: on there, and I just mixed it in with like
18:56
Speaker 1: some of the legends like Calid and Drama on there
19:00
Speaker 1: because you know clearly right of course they the foundation
19:03
Speaker 1: of what I'm really is DJ Clue, but Clue me
19:08
Speaker 1: is not the guy and and call it like the
19:12
Speaker 1: jay Z of this music. I remember the first motherfucker's
19:15
Speaker 1: dropping albums was Clue and Flex Flex had. I was
19:18
Speaker 1: like a young I was like a kidd, Flex had
19:20
Speaker 1: some crazy ship. Clue had the professional Yeah, crazy shit
19:24
Speaker 1: like Clue record is the jay Z and Mara one
19:26
Speaker 1: technically right, I think that was on the Professional too. Yeah,
19:30
Speaker 1: I knew who they was, but I'm saying like, no, no, no,
19:32
Speaker 1: I mean listen, Klate and Drama are like I always say,
19:35
Speaker 1: dramas are great, I mean the most important greatest hip
19:38
Speaker 1: hop DJ ever. I'm I'm not talking about scratching. I'm
19:40
Speaker 1: talking about what he means to the culture, what he's contributed.
19:44
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy just hosted the best Rap album
19:47
Speaker 1: of the Year that won a Grand Tyler. You know
19:49
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He big homie too, Like whenever I
19:51
Speaker 1: need them to make sure that, like, right, whatever I need,
19:53
Speaker 1: I got you whatever you need. Are you like talking
19:56
Speaker 1: ship on the songs? Nah, that's probably for the better.
19:59
Speaker 1: I kind of learned off them too, though, right, Like
20:02
Speaker 1: I remember being at the radio and like they used
20:05
Speaker 1: to sing records without them on it. Yeah, so DJs,
20:08
Speaker 1: because you know the dj a, yeah, there would be
20:10
Speaker 1: the no DJ version of mixtape. We ain't gonna promote
20:13
Speaker 1: just yeah, another DJ like that. So I kind of
20:16
Speaker 1: learned this from John, Like Little John, I do all
20:18
Speaker 1: my hooks though, Okay, so you're doing your hooks. Yeah,
20:21
Speaker 1: so the DJs, you technically still got to play the
20:23
Speaker 1: record like without me saying it's the War Dame and
20:26
Speaker 1: all that shit. I might talk some shit about getting
20:28
Speaker 1: some money, but I ain't. The worst is when you're
20:30
Speaker 1: in a club and someone plays a song that's the
20:33
Speaker 1: mixtape version and there's like some others drops all over it,
20:37
Speaker 1: and I'm like, fuck, man, that's why I really fucked
20:39
Speaker 1: with Drummer and Cannon. Like I remember being an intern.
20:42
Speaker 1: I think I might have been the first one to
20:43
Speaker 1: ask them. You know, I got all them, like I
20:45
Speaker 1: got some of them little Wayne dedication tapes without them
20:48
Speaker 1: talking on it. Nice yeah, like Cannon used to like
20:51
Speaker 1: Cannon gave me like you know, yeah, I remember the
20:54
Speaker 1: blogs used to drop the normal version and then like
20:56
Speaker 1: three days later the no DJ version, and it'd be
20:59
Speaker 1: like I got I got a couple of drama records
21:02
Speaker 1: without drama from the mixtape Air Nice. Yeah, who I
21:06
Speaker 1: Saw You? And King Vaughan had a discussion about the
21:10
Speaker 1: best Bay Area rappers ever. Yeah yeah, added, who's your
21:16
Speaker 1: top five? E forty number one? We could put it
21:22
Speaker 1: in a quarter period forty number one and me, I
21:24
Speaker 1: think he's the winner of all winners period definitely too short. Yeah.
21:30
Speaker 1: Number three, I'm gonna go with the Jack of Okay,
21:33
Speaker 1: that was my big bro. Number four, I'm gonna go
21:36
Speaker 1: with Fab Fab like Fab is really the mayor of
21:40
Speaker 1: Oakland by the Bay Area, Like he could go anywhere,
21:43
Speaker 1: people respect him and and he got some records that's classics.
21:47
Speaker 1: Number five keep the sneak kick. Yeah, I'm gonna go
21:53
Speaker 1: keep I respect it. No mac Dre, Now, I'm a
21:57
Speaker 1: drake that if people always Valo, I love Vale, they
22:00
Speaker 1: get on my ass about this all the time. I
22:02
Speaker 1: always say to my friends who are from the Bay,
22:05
Speaker 1: I think mac Dre's overrated. No, no, no no, I'm never
22:08
Speaker 1: gonna say that. I said, shout out to Quilo and
22:10
Speaker 1: no none of my people, no, no, no no no, from
22:14
Speaker 1: somebody who did not live in the Bay. And and
22:16
Speaker 1: and the music was not important to me like it
22:18
Speaker 1: is to everybody else. Obviously feeling myself, and there's records
22:21
Speaker 1: that are I get it. But in terms of like
22:24
Speaker 1: the way y'all hold mac Dre up there, we hold
22:27
Speaker 1: him up there being somebody who's not from there, I'm
22:30
Speaker 1: just like all right. So, so the thing with Dre
22:34
Speaker 1: is he had his core fans, right, which was like
22:39
Speaker 1: everyday people, right. It necessarily wasn't in like the blackest times,
22:46
Speaker 1: if I could say that, Like it was more like
22:49
Speaker 1: latinos and white people like shows. He always had the
22:53
Speaker 1: crazy fucking artwork and yeah, yeah, like those was like
22:56
Speaker 1: popping thigs and ship like that was that ship, you know,
22:59
Speaker 1: black people kind of Iffy on drugs at first, So
23:03
Speaker 1: the side shows and all that that's keep the sneak
23:05
Speaker 1: nobody out did keep for side shows and the Jack
23:09
Speaker 1: of Hagar on all them records. So Drake kind of
23:12
Speaker 1: like caught the wind unfortunately right before he died and
23:15
Speaker 1: when he died, so Dre never even got to perform
23:19
Speaker 1: Feeling Myself in all those records. He never got to
23:21
Speaker 1: fully feel what what he means to debay like today
23:26
Speaker 1: because like now nowadays feel that yeah, like he did,
23:30
Speaker 1: Like you know, I feel like in the same way
23:32
Speaker 1: that Pok never probably got to really feel what he
23:35
Speaker 1: meant until, you know, once he passed. I think people, yeah,
23:37
Speaker 1: like when people did they bad Chris Brown and Drake,
23:40
Speaker 1: they probably would have been bringing Dre out right, But
23:43
Speaker 1: like he didn't get to see like his biggest songs.
23:46
Speaker 1: He wasn't here for Stretch told me like he passed
23:48
Speaker 1: away like a month before the album dropped or after
23:51
Speaker 1: the album drop, So a lot of that stuff is
23:54
Speaker 1: like legendary shit that he never even got. He never
23:57
Speaker 1: even got to see the results of. Yeah, he never
23:59
Speaker 1: got the form at like a summer jam or you
24:02
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like he didn't get the shut
24:03
Speaker 1: down on an arena, right right, right, right right, Everything
24:06
Speaker 1: was more trivia. But nah, Dre is death, Like you know,
24:09
Speaker 1: he definitely dope. But I'm talking about when I grew
24:11
Speaker 1: up in Oakland, like these was the five people peak
24:15
Speaker 1: Hyphee era before before it was even a high, when
24:18
Speaker 1: it was just yo, keep the sneak hype. Did you
24:21
Speaker 1: think Because if you think of like My Ghetto report
24:24
Speaker 1: Card being like the biggest hyphie album, but at the time,
24:30
Speaker 1: wasn't forty not really considered a hypheie artist. Yeah, forty
24:34
Speaker 1: forty like the winner that Bayes lived through all of
24:36
Speaker 1: our moment. Yeah, forty is like, uh timeless in terms
24:40
Speaker 1: of like every time he puts an album out, it's
24:44
Speaker 1: fucking fire and it doesn't matter how what era we're
24:46
Speaker 1: in he adjusts, he gets to write features. It's it's crazy.
24:49
Speaker 1: But in terms of like My Ghetto report Card, like
24:52
Speaker 1: because I feel like the hyphee movement was something that
24:54
Speaker 1: was like very uh grassroots, I guess should really fully
25:00
Speaker 1: appreciate it. He had to live there. My get a
25:03
Speaker 1: report Card was like it took the ship to a
25:06
Speaker 1: whole nother life. It was the perfection of it. It
25:08
Speaker 1: was crazy because it took it. It took it to
25:10
Speaker 1: like such a crazy level that like, you know, ship
25:13
Speaker 1: tell me when to go as a record, you could
25:15
Speaker 1: play fucking mean Brooklyn, you know whatever. You know what
25:18
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, I think forty was just like
25:21
Speaker 1: he the winner of all time, so he was able
25:23
Speaker 1: to he could do whatever he wants and be and
25:25
Speaker 1: make it the best quality of it, Like if it
25:29
Speaker 1: could have been and he had Little John on that, Like, yeah,
25:33
Speaker 1: is such the winner that he can polish it, you know,
25:35
Speaker 1: like DLO NoHo is unmixed. It sounds like it a classic, Yes,
25:41
Speaker 1: like ifty, had it would have been mixed Little John FORDU,
25:45
Speaker 1: it would have been even major. Delo is another one
25:46
Speaker 1: of those guys from the Bay who is a big deal,
25:49
Speaker 1: but you know, is somebody who's maybe their potential wasn't
25:53
Speaker 1: seen nationally if that makes sense. Yeah, but you never
25:56
Speaker 1: should go on the stage after if you're performed him. No,
25:58
Speaker 1: he's crazy. He did my birthday part when you're in
26:00
Speaker 1: Phoenix and it was it's hard to perform at the
26:02
Speaker 1: d LO in the bank. Yeah, Like he got probably
26:04
Speaker 1: like four certified records. That's like the band General's got
26:08
Speaker 1: songs that like didn't work anywhere else for like artists
26:11
Speaker 1: not from the Bay that are fucking huge. There were
26:14
Speaker 1: the B side Capitol. It's crazy the big pride in
26:17
Speaker 1: that though, Like what's the Mike Jones song flossing flossing
26:22
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ? Is Mike Jones flossing? It's uh Young Droe
26:26
Speaker 1: high five mm hmmm uh bird Man out the ghetto
26:32
Speaker 1: like it's ship like when you when you play, they
26:34
Speaker 1: go like, why are you playing this ship? But out there? Yeah?
26:37
Speaker 1: Like then they were like, oh shit, we probably should
26:40
Speaker 1: have did this ship, you know what I'm saying. So
26:41
Speaker 1: we like to be B side Capitol though, like why
26:43
Speaker 1: do you think that is? We probably think we all
26:47
Speaker 1: in RS at some point, you know what I'm saying, Like,
26:49
Speaker 1: because well, I think it for me, it originated like
26:53
Speaker 1: before the Heiphe movement, Like the original side shows. It
26:56
Speaker 1: almost used to be like what's the coolest song you
26:59
Speaker 1: can play that nobody knows? Like let me find something
27:02
Speaker 1: on the album? Yeah, like you have you know the
27:04
Speaker 1: singles gonna get played, but let me find this other joint.
27:06
Speaker 1: It'd be like a nigga coming down the street in
27:08
Speaker 1: the van four fifteen slapping the gap, being outstanding in
27:12
Speaker 1: the middle of a bunch of gangsters, what I'm saying,
27:14
Speaker 1: or Guapolai closer like that shit, like it was some
27:18
Speaker 1: real killers slapping closer taking their heart out, you know
27:21
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Or so it used to just be
27:23
Speaker 1: like a one up, like what song can I slap that?
27:26
Speaker 1: Nobody else? No one else? Yeah, that makes sense that
27:29
Speaker 1: I think that personifi is a pretty yeah. Yeah, so
27:32
Speaker 1: we big on that b sides. Appreciate y'all watching, But listen,
