Speaker 1: But throughout that time, you know, I was inconcentrated. I

1:31
Speaker 1: throughout that time, I mapped it out to finish it
1:33
Speaker 1: at a certain time, but I was getting booked for
1:35
Speaker 1: things at the same time. So I would be going
1:37
Speaker 1: here doing the show, and they would give me the
1:39
Speaker 1: approvals to judge would prove it to the able to
1:41
Speaker 1: approve it. I'm like, all right, who fine, I'm good.
1:43
Speaker 1: So they had already approved a tour for me to go.
1:46
Speaker 1: They saw the schedule of it, but I had one
1:48
Speaker 1: hundred hours left, so I scheduled it to where when
1:51
Speaker 1: I got back off the tour, I would be done
1:53
Speaker 1: within that week before I went back to court. But
1:56
Speaker 1: you know, things didn't happen to where I wanted it.
1:58
Speaker 1: They made you finish it, yeah, they what they made
2:00
Speaker 1: you do? Oh, well basically the whole time I was
2:03
Speaker 1: doing the remaining of the thousand dollars that I had,
2:06
Speaker 1: I was doing. Uh, I was at a boys attention center,
2:10
Speaker 1: you know, so like like prison for for young young boys.
2:13
Speaker 1: But I would be doing maintenance. Man. I would be
2:15
Speaker 1: you know, re remodeling the walls, whether it be painting
2:18
Speaker 1: them from all white, um, fixing the whole bathroom areas
2:22
Speaker 1: for the boys. And they put outside the last time
2:24
Speaker 1: they had you outside, Well we're in. We're in fenced
2:27
Speaker 1: like a real jail. So I would be like, you know,
2:30
Speaker 1: cutting grass on the inside part. But I wouldn't be like,
2:33
Speaker 1: you know, visible to the public. But you know, how
2:35
Speaker 1: to remodel bathrooms and everything. You know, when you're gonna
2:38
Speaker 1: have to like you know, you create a person you're painting. Yeah,
2:43
Speaker 1: I wasn't painting in the art form that I kind
2:45
Speaker 1: of wanted to paint. Like when you're just painting just
2:48
Speaker 1: white plaster and everything, it is just like all right,
2:50
Speaker 1: this is not what I Usually when they have guys
2:54
Speaker 1: that detention center, they want you to talk to the kids.
2:56
Speaker 1: That's your community service. Like nope, not Chris. Yeah, you
2:59
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't I wouldn't. I kind of didn't understand
3:01
Speaker 1: that too, you know, I was looking at the situation like,
3:03
Speaker 1: you know, I think I have more of a um understanding,
3:07
Speaker 1: you know, of the youth or being able to have
3:10
Speaker 1: been to certain experiences to give him my insight on
3:13
Speaker 1: how not to take that certain path. But I think
3:16
Speaker 1: they wanted it to be more of a labor thing.
3:18
Speaker 1: It's more of a punishment than than than me to
3:21
Speaker 1: actually help the community, which is kind of backwards. But
3:23
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't make the rules on
3:26
Speaker 1: the fans on Instagram because they was coming at yours up.
3:29
Speaker 1: We can't see trade because of you, yeah, you know
3:32
Speaker 1: and me. You know, I'm I'm never politically correct. I'm
3:35
Speaker 1: always we know, you know how I mean, I don't.
3:38
Speaker 1: I don't really kind of have a filter. I try
3:40
Speaker 1: to kind of chill now, like just to be like, man,
3:42
Speaker 1: it's not that important. You can't control it your life,
3:45
Speaker 1: you know. I always say he liked it with tendency
3:49
Speaker 1: he can't control. But sometimes it's difficult, Like does that
3:51
Speaker 1: affect you know how the judge looked at you and everything.
3:54
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, he just did this, and we thought
3:56
Speaker 1: he was doing his community service. He did that, but
3:59
Speaker 1: then he goes out. Do you think that's something that
4:00
Speaker 1: affects I just think the judge. I mean, I wouldn't
4:04
Speaker 1: talk about the judge because I'm not I'm not a
4:06
Speaker 1: probation all the way, so I would say I don't
4:09
Speaker 1: think it would make a difference. I think even if
4:11
Speaker 1: I was at church every day and do whatever, it
4:13
Speaker 1: would be something to talk about. A. Yeah, they have opinion.
4:17
Speaker 1: And I think how media has uh kind of not
4:21
Speaker 1: saying targeted me because I'm not here to be like
4:23
Speaker 1: woe is me and all that. That's kind of boys
4:26
Speaker 1: definite media. Yeah, yeah, it gets it gets old all
4:29
Speaker 1: the time, you know what I'm saying. But I feel
4:30
Speaker 1: like the only thing that's highlighted in my career for
4:33
Speaker 1: the last five years is my negativity, you know what
4:36
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But the only thing that I can do
4:38
Speaker 1: is put my positive music out and do what I
4:40
Speaker 1: do and be great at that. That's the only thing
4:42
Speaker 1: that has been successful is the music. And people can't
4:45
Speaker 1: deny an under nivel hit, you know what I'm saying.
4:47
Speaker 1: So if you had to put a percentage on how
4:49
Speaker 1: much trouble you actually have caused on yourself as persuaded
4:53
Speaker 1: how much the media puts on you. What would you say, Um,
4:56
Speaker 1: it's fifty fifty. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit
4:58
Speaker 1: there and say I'm a saying, but I definitely say
5:00
Speaker 1: a lot of the choices that I made in the
5:02
Speaker 1: past reflect now, So now I don't have that benefit.
5:05
Speaker 1: You don't get the benefit of the doubt. Like, oh, Chris,
5:08
Speaker 1: ain't do that. Come on now, people be like, no,
5:10
Speaker 1: he did it. You know what I'm saying because of
5:11
Speaker 1: my past decisions, we move differently now because you know
5:14
Speaker 1: how it seems like people try to start a problem
5:16
Speaker 1: because they want to see what they want to see
5:18
Speaker 1: you in trouble. Yeah, I mean I'm more vigilant of
5:21
Speaker 1: how my surroundings where I go, Like even if a
5:24
Speaker 1: place gets shot up or wherever that club whatever, I
5:27
Speaker 1: just try to move accordingly and not try to have
5:30
Speaker 1: certain influences around, Like you got a certain type of people,
5:33
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring a certain type of crop. It was
5:35
Speaker 1: a story that you were not going to perform at
5:37
Speaker 1: certain types of clubs anymore. Yeah, and so that that
5:41
Speaker 1: was too. You were saying, let me get out of
5:42
Speaker 1: that element. I mean, you know, I could say that
5:45
Speaker 1: for five minutes, but I love a hood. That's my rulers.
5:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to after five o'clock close closing time.
5:56
Speaker 1: I feel I feel you. I mean, for me, I
5:58
Speaker 1: just feel like that's what because I'm not a street dude.
6:02
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't portraye myself trying to be tough.
6:05
Speaker 1: I'm just who I am, you know. So I think
6:07
Speaker 1: when I go places and how I'm maneuver, I'm I'm
6:10
Speaker 1: just approachable. Like I can go places and go to
6:12
Speaker 1: a terrible neighborhood of where it is and like, what's up, man,
6:15
Speaker 1: what's doing y'all good? Or go to a nice place
6:18
Speaker 1: and be like that. But I think just you have
6:20
Speaker 1: to beat your wives on where you go, man, how
6:22
Speaker 1: you choose to move around, because sometimes they're shoot the
6:25
Speaker 1: place up? Why did this happen? When I'm here? You
6:28
Speaker 1: feel like trouble follows you. I feel like the story
6:31
Speaker 1: ain't it ain't fun if it ain't that, you know.
6:34
Speaker 1: I think. I think after a time, like you kind
6:36
Speaker 1: of be like, man, I'm always getting Trouble'm always in
6:38
Speaker 1: the situation. I think just you know, God gives certain
6:41
Speaker 1: people certain paths, and I think, you know, you gotta
6:44
Speaker 1: go to something. You know, if I'm just sitting there
6:46
Speaker 1: smill like, hey, let's up, everything's great. I'm about to
6:49
Speaker 1: put on these glittery jackets and start dancing like I'm
6:52
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be interesting. I think people feed off
6:55
Speaker 1: my negativity because they're so interested in my greatness as
6:59
Speaker 1: an artist. Have you checked to see if this voodoo
7:02
Speaker 1: on you are roots just that you might have. I
7:05
Speaker 1: really feel like everything like i'd be like somebody got
7:08
Speaker 1: a chicken bone buried with Chris brown name. You know,
7:11
Speaker 1: I don't mess with that. I don't messer that. You know.
7:15
Speaker 1: I've been on the data couple Island girls, I'm telling you.
7:23
Speaker 1: Do you ever think in the future you would do
7:24
Speaker 1: your memoirs or an autobiography or something like that. Yeah,
7:27
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people. It's a lot of
7:29
Speaker 1: stuff about me that people don't know, as far as
7:31
Speaker 1: like how I got into the game, just just little
7:33
Speaker 1: stuff like the details, the fine details. So I think,
7:36
Speaker 1: you know, doing a movie would be dope. I'm actually
7:38
Speaker 1: shooting the actual documentary for my tour, so everything plays
7:42
Speaker 1: in this position like me being held back on the
7:44
Speaker 1: tour and not being able to go out there, losing
7:46
Speaker 1: like two three million dollars worth of you know, production ticket,
7:49
Speaker 1: still having to cut the show and half just because
7:52
Speaker 1: all the setbacks. But it shows the the beauty, you know,
7:56
Speaker 1: the roads to the cracks he meant, you know, So
7:59
Speaker 1: it's it's able. You're able to kind of travel through
8:02
Speaker 1: the journey with me and understand, how's until going because
8:04
Speaker 1: it's six sold out shows? Yeah, and it's it's you
8:07
Speaker 1: and Trey and it's it's you guys are going to
8:09
Speaker 1: Virginia boys, how is it? You know? The tours? Actually
8:12
Speaker 1: it's been a surprise because I haven't toured you know,
8:15
Speaker 1: domestically and almost like three or four years. So being
8:18
Speaker 1: able to get back on the road and kind of
8:19
Speaker 1: showing the people again because you know, America's is fickled,
8:23
Speaker 1: like you have to really win them over every time,
8:26
Speaker 1: like every new record is your new record. You know
8:28
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking, like a yeah, hi, you know, So
8:32
Speaker 1: being able to go out there and you know, be
8:34
Speaker 1: on stage every night and see the crowd pat from
8:36
Speaker 1: front to back. You know, Now, how does that feel?
8:38
Speaker 1: Because for a while when you would when you were
8:40
Speaker 1: doing shows, maybe a couple of years ago, they weren't
8:42
Speaker 1: a path. People were against you, so you weren't getting
8:44
Speaker 1: them field stadiums anymore. But now it's back to what
8:47
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, you know, it's amazing and it just
8:49
Speaker 1: shows that, Um, I have a good job, you know.
8:54
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just happy and thankful right now. I
8:58
Speaker 1: gotta get that. I gotta get it redne And now
9:00
Speaker 1: it's this. I'm sweating on stage. That's why I got
9:03
Speaker 1: a hat on. You know what. I'm just over. You're
9:05
Speaker 1: gonna eventually go bad. It's gonna I might take I
9:08
Speaker 1: might look like Aaron Hall, or I might take that
9:10
Speaker 1: Rob that's gonna be. That's gonna be my rob. Now listen,
9:14
Speaker 1: let's talk about your relationship. You guys are good now
9:18
Speaker 1: back together? Yeah, No, it's no engagement. It was just good,
9:22
Speaker 1: you know, yeah together, Really a girl stops. But I
9:30
Speaker 1: just I just feel like this is my position on it.
9:33
Speaker 1: A lot of the times, like I'm impulsive, Like I said,
9:36
Speaker 1: I don't have no filter. So so a lot of
9:38
Speaker 1: the times, whether it's an issue in the relationship whatever,
9:41
Speaker 1: Sometimes whether it's both party hurled me. We don't know
9:45
Speaker 1: how to communicate sometimes to be able to be like, hey, man,
9:48
Speaker 1: let's talk about this before we say something right, and
9:51
Speaker 1: then we're back together the next week because everybody else
9:55
Speaker 1: gonna just then you give it, everybody else the option
9:57
Speaker 1: to depict our relationship and and set their own base
10:00
Speaker 1: of how we live our life, you know what I'm saying.
10:02
Speaker 1: So I just think, you know, as of now, we've
10:04
Speaker 1: been kind of cool with not being on the on
10:07
Speaker 1: the You know, it hurt me so bad. I hit boo,
10:14
Speaker 1: I said, boo, Please tell me breathey just didn't admit
10:17
Speaker 1: that that Drake flew his girl out. Please, No, man,
10:21
Speaker 1: I ain't need him. He ain't getting no money by
10:23
Speaker 1: talking about him. So I ain't you know, I ain't
10:24
Speaker 1: no you know, punny talking about that. But you did
10:26
Speaker 1: do a countdown and you didn't count number six, and
10:28
Speaker 1: everybody was like, he didn't say six because Drake did
10:30
Speaker 1: the six guys soon. Yeah, I don't get that. I don't.
10:33
Speaker 1: I don't remember that though, Like I don't remember not
10:35
Speaker 1: saying like that. Dude, don't make me no checks? This cool?
10:40
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't you know, I ain't get no
10:42
Speaker 1: money by talking about y'all. Was in the studio, it
10:44
Speaker 1: seemed like I was making records and I don't Oh, okay, okay,
10:48
Speaker 1: Now he just was in the studio. He was a fan,
10:51
Speaker 1: so he must really be ducking the fade from Brown.
10:57
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I don't got no opinions or none
10:59
Speaker 1: of that. You know, he was just he don't make
11:02
Speaker 1: me no money. But I talk about him, you know
11:03
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So as soon as if I get
11:05
Speaker 1: a check by you know, ding ding. But he's not
11:07
Speaker 1: a friend, I'm cool except for you and crew chain.
11:11
Speaker 1: Moving forward, though, you decided let's just keep this off
11:13
Speaker 1: a social media let's not argue and do this. Dada
11:16
Speaker 1: da da da. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know it's
11:18
Speaker 1: it's it's better for growth and it shows maturity when
11:21
Speaker 1: you can you can communicate and talk to a relationship
11:23
Speaker 1: and understand each other, you know. So I just I
11:26
Speaker 1: just rather do that and not not try to, you know,
11:29
Speaker 1: make my stuff as public because people it ain't nobody's
11:31
Speaker 1: opinion and people lives anyway, so they can't they can't
11:34
Speaker 1: really comment on mind the video together though, yeah, you
11:38
Speaker 1: know I did, and we did that about a year
11:39
Speaker 1: and a half ago too. But I just waited to
11:42
Speaker 1: the right point to just put it out and set
11:44
Speaker 1: it up right so good. You know, Kanye said in
11:46
Speaker 1: his new record, um all your fault. He said that
11:48
Speaker 1: crew cha can never do a little better than you,
11:50
Speaker 1: And I'm like with it. I mean not I feel.
11:55
Speaker 1: I mean I feel what he meant by And I'm
11:57
Speaker 1: not saying like as an arrogant statement, but I just
11:59
Speaker 1: feel like in any situation when when you when you
12:02
Speaker 1: when you look at yourself as in a certain like
12:05
Speaker 1: cocky or not. You know, I think you know, it's
12:08
Speaker 1: nowhere else to go, like this radio, you know, there's
12:12
Speaker 1: nowhere else to go, Like even with old girl, you know,
12:15
Speaker 1: the first one. Yeah, who else are you gonna go to?
12:19
Speaker 1: I mean, she got bigger, I know, but that's nice,
12:22
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good choice. But who else in
12:24
Speaker 1: this game she's gonna go to? Corny singing rapper, some
12:28
Speaker 1: corny singing rapper name Aubrey? You know what, I'm like
12:35
Speaker 1: what she do now, Like you know, I respect for
12:37
Speaker 1: all like whatever her choices. But at the time too,
12:42
Speaker 1: who now you don't speak to her anymore? You don't
12:45
Speaker 1: speak to anymore, So there was no birthday wishes andhing
12:47
Speaker 1: like that. Nah, Like I'm just we just cord you like,
12:49
Speaker 1: it's like I respect her space, you respect you know,
12:51
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a likes you know too
12:55
Speaker 1: much talk and get to hey, what you're doing? What's up?
12:57
Speaker 1: What's up? You don' gonna hang out? And you know
13:00
Speaker 1: it's it's just complicating. Ain't that's a good thing to
13:03
Speaker 1: relapse with, RelA with. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Kanye
13:09
Speaker 1: comment on your relationship though, Like do you talk to
13:11
Speaker 1: Kanye or she talk? I mean, Kanye, we've been we
13:14
Speaker 1: just gotta started getting like real cool over like the
13:16
Speaker 1: last couple of months. Man, Like so you know, I
13:19
Speaker 1: understand him sometimes, like you know what I'm saying, Like
13:22
Speaker 1: a lot of people be like, man, he just he
13:23
Speaker 1: just complains. He always did this, the stuff he complaining about.
13:27
Speaker 1: Don't be so over the top though, Like you know,
13:30
Speaker 1: whether it's music or whatever it is. Sometimes how he
13:33
Speaker 1: words it, it's like, Okay, damn, I don't say it
13:37
Speaker 1: like that. But you know I can't. I can't knock
13:40
Speaker 1: the man for how you feel. You know, you is
13:42
Speaker 1: you want to be the greatest. You gotta act like
13:44
Speaker 1: he's get the greatest. Yeah, he just left it. He
13:45
Speaker 1: seems a lot more humble. Now somebody like Justin Bieble.
13:51
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, He's he's got he got low,
13:54
Speaker 1: and he seems like he's popped back up and he's
13:56
Speaker 1: trying to have a cleaner image. And it seems like
13:58
Speaker 1: the media is at following it, not just allowed it,
14:01
Speaker 1: but kind of like pushing it. I wonder why they
14:03
Speaker 1: don't give you those those same chances. The skin color.
14:05
Speaker 1: I'm light skinned, but not that shape. Yea, you know
14:09
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I mean everybody can be like
14:11
Speaker 1: pull a raised card man. Y'all know this music industry,
14:14
Speaker 1: it's nineteen thirty five. You know, it's funny. It's just
14:18
Speaker 1: it's just a different face. People don't speak up and
14:20
Speaker 1: say how it is. But you know you got you
14:23
Speaker 1: got us that can I'm gonna make an R and
14:25
Speaker 1: B song that that's just like okay, that's the best
14:28
Speaker 1: I heard, But it's gonna go so far on rhythmic
14:32
Speaker 1: maybe touch, you know, but top forty station. But you
14:37
Speaker 1: get another artists, different colors singing. It's the it's the
14:40
Speaker 1: newest generation of music. Like, oh my god, it's so innovative.
14:44
Speaker 1: What follow You know what I'm saying. I mean, I'm
14:47
Speaker 1: not a hater because I love the music too, but
14:50
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You see the difference. Look
14:52
Speaker 1: at the grammars. Is it easy like to get a
14:55
Speaker 1: PR and that can help you clean up your image.
14:58
Speaker 1: If the media don't want to be clear ANYPO for me,
15:01
Speaker 1: they're gonna go through him. Like I just feel like,
15:04
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be real with you man. Like Instagram,
15:08
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, I'm not feeling you know, I
15:11
Speaker 1: might say something, but I'm gonna I delete it later.
15:13
Speaker 1: But you I'm gonna say at first, I just get
15:14
Speaker 1: it off, you know. But I think PR with me
15:17
Speaker 1: is just finding people because you know what it is.
15:21
Speaker 1: My biggest challenge is to get the gatekeepers to say, Okay,
15:28
Speaker 1: it's cool to mess with you. You know that. And
15:30
Speaker 1: you know what, it could be the toughest rapper or
15:32
Speaker 1: whoever it is, We love that guy because you're not
15:34
Speaker 1: afraid of him. He's you know, it's not a he's
15:37
Speaker 1: not a risk. You know a lot of people, and
15:39
Speaker 1: he usually has to be Like I was saying this
15:41
Speaker 1: to my friends, like uh, and I'm not trying to
15:43
Speaker 1: make it a race thing, but like you know, I
15:45
Speaker 1: was at this uh this really this really really rich party.
15:48
Speaker 1: Like I just felt awkward that I was like because
15:50
Speaker 1: I walked in you know a lot of white people
15:52
Speaker 1: that were just looking at me like, oh my god.
15:56
Speaker 1: But then when they got drunk, you see what they're
15:58
Speaker 1: real feelings is they get drunk on yo. Man, Look,
16:00
Speaker 1: you're the best, bro. I love you. Um, you just
16:04
Speaker 1: really need like like you're so talented, you just messed
16:07
Speaker 1: up all the time. Man, Like, that's what we're afraid
16:09
Speaker 1: of you, bro, Like that's what it is, like, you
16:12
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it's just the people that
16:14
Speaker 1: got to take the risk. And you know, I take
16:17
Speaker 1: a risk every day because I say effort. Then just
16:20
Speaker 1: do my thing and do what I'm here to do,
16:22
Speaker 1: do my music, do everything for my fans, and a
16:24
Speaker 1: lot of people just don't understand how I've been able
16:26
Speaker 1: to survive all everything and still be putting out you know,
16:31
Speaker 1: number one records and stuff like that. It's just I
16:33
Speaker 1: just I don't have a mentality of looking back and caring.
16:36
Speaker 1: Seems like you don't care anymore what people say. I don't.
16:38
Speaker 1: It's not even about oh he doesn't show remorse. I mean,
16:40
Speaker 1: how much remorse I'm gonna show it's been then the
16:42
Speaker 1: ten years, Like you know what I'm saying. So I
16:45
Speaker 1: just feel like, if you're not gonna get over you're
16:47
Speaker 1: never gonna get over it. Do you think anytime during
16:50
Speaker 1: that whole situation, like after we re read, you think
16:53
Speaker 1: you may have went to left when you got all
16:55
Speaker 1: the tattoos and you you embrace the thug life, you
16:58
Speaker 1: embrace the bad boy. I just feel like I embrace
17:02
Speaker 1: my creativity. You know, I think I think a lot
17:04
Speaker 1: of my tattoos, I don't have gang tattoos. You know,
17:07
Speaker 1: a lot of my tattoos or are symbols of art.
17:10
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a painter as well, a different thing.
17:11
Speaker 1: So I just I'm just living in my culture of
17:15
Speaker 1: my time. I think, you know, it's cliche not to
17:18
Speaker 1: have tattoos. Now, if you're a young guy, you're like,
17:20
Speaker 1: oh dang, it's I mean, it's not it's not cliche,
17:23
Speaker 1: it's rare. It's a rarity if you don't have tattoos.
17:25
Speaker 1: But I feel like now I just I didn't. I'm
17:28
Speaker 1: not saying I'm pushing the envelope. I'm just living my life,
17:31
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I just look at
17:32
Speaker 1: it like if they love it, they love it. If
17:34
Speaker 1: you don't, cool, But I'm still rock out on the
17:36
Speaker 1: rock because that's what being an artist is. That's what
17:39
Speaker 1: being a rock star is. Conformity is prisoned to me,
17:43
Speaker 1: you know, being being normal and having to focus on
17:47
Speaker 1: I gotta do this because this person likes that. I
17:49
Speaker 1: gotta do this because that person like, no, I'm gonna
17:51
Speaker 1: do this and make y'all follow. But that's what a
17:53
Speaker 1: leader does, you know what I'm saying. So I don't
17:55
Speaker 1: focus on how many knows I get because I kick
18:00
Speaker 1: all the doors down that they put up. They ever
18:01
Speaker 1: awkward for you behind the scenes, like the whole situation.
18:04
Speaker 1: I just was at the Real the other day. They
18:06
Speaker 1: were like, oh, we don't say Chris Brown's name up
18:08
Speaker 1: here anymore. Well that's great. That's because when it comes
18:13
Speaker 1: to like okay, like say, for instance, aging Violine, she's
18:16
Speaker 1: engaged to Lenny s and I'm sure you're running to
18:18
Speaker 1: him or for Tamar with her husband. Do they ever
18:21
Speaker 1: make it awkward for you? Does anybody ever reach out
18:23
Speaker 1: to you and say nobody? Could anybody know me? I'm
18:26
Speaker 1: not saying try to act like I'm a tough guy,
18:28
Speaker 1: none of that. But I get down when I get down,
18:31
Speaker 1: ducking the flight, I'm not I'm not running from no phase.
18:36
Speaker 1: I'm not running for that. But I'm also walking the
18:38
Speaker 1: straight path till I get all this probation. To be honest,
18:41
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to, you know, mess up nothing. Nothing
18:43
Speaker 1: gonna mess up my money no more. So what happens
18:45
Speaker 1: if somebody calls you and it's like, dude, come on,
18:47
Speaker 1: that wasn't not gonna be able to come like what
18:50
Speaker 1: you're gonna say on the phone, and plus you probably
18:52
Speaker 1: change your number all the time much but you know
18:55
Speaker 1: everybody else is gonna be around me, gonna be able
18:57
Speaker 1: to get to whoever. If you want to get to me,
18:59
Speaker 1: you're gonna get to. But you know, I feel like,
19:02
Speaker 1: you know, it's not even if I'm gonna say something
19:05
Speaker 1: and like how winning on on that on the girls
19:07
Speaker 1: or whatever. See mine is a roast. I'm gonna roash
19:10
Speaker 1: you like cool, you want to say something about me,
19:11
Speaker 1: well let me just joke. But my I don't say
19:14
Speaker 1: the stuff that'd be like okay, yeah, you gotta I
19:16
Speaker 1: say this stuff that's gonna hurt. Feel like somebody took
19:18
Speaker 1: a dagger to you to your vein, like I'm gonna
19:21
Speaker 1: say some stuff because because because that's how I feel
19:24
Speaker 1: like if you take the time out and a lot
19:26
Speaker 1: of time. Now I'm getting smart because I'm realizing when
19:28
Speaker 1: people are in the panic mode when they need to
19:30
Speaker 1: sell something or they need to get ratings or whatever.
19:33
Speaker 1: Let's let's poke. But let's poke at Chris Brown because
19:35
Speaker 1: he'll bite on it. He'll say something and we'll get
19:38
Speaker 1: a reaction out of him because guess what it's gonna
19:40
Speaker 1: bring out right into the roof, because he's gonna go
19:41
Speaker 1: all the way and then he's gonna look like the
19:43
Speaker 1: bad guy and we're gonna win. So now I'm trying
19:45
Speaker 1: to realize it. You know, it's still fun to me
19:47
Speaker 1: because I like to entertainment. But it's so hard because
19:49
Speaker 1: people do comment on your relationship all the time because
19:51
Speaker 1: it is always in the new Yeah, you know, different
19:53
Speaker 1: things that happen between you guys. It is, you know,
19:55
Speaker 1: a very public so it's hard to say who you know.
19:57
Speaker 1: It kind of puts it out there for people to
19:59
Speaker 1: say what they think or give their opinion. Yea, come
20:03
Speaker 1: on about But sometimes that is a little difficult because
20:08
Speaker 1: you have to realize that when you put things out there,
20:11
Speaker 1: people are always gonna have something to say about him. Absolutely,
20:14
Speaker 1: and that's kind of a giving take for me too.
20:15
Speaker 1: I gotta understand that. Now, what about go ahead? No? No,
20:19
Speaker 1: what about tigging out? Now? How did you and Tiger
20:20
Speaker 1: hook up? Oh? I met Tiger years ago? You know,
20:24
Speaker 1: I actually was a fan of his, Like it's just
20:26
Speaker 1: styled because I felt like me being in LA, there's
20:29
Speaker 1: not a lot of guys because at the time YG
20:31
Speaker 1: wasn't really out and a couple of other artists that
20:33
Speaker 1: that LA is kind of like taking under their wing
20:35
Speaker 1: now wasn't there, Like Kendrick Lamar all that stuff. Tiger
20:38
Speaker 1: was like really the only one out there. And I
20:40
Speaker 1: was just like, man, it's not really no dudes to
20:42
Speaker 1: really hang with, Like it's like I don't really hang
20:45
Speaker 1: with too many cats. But he was always cool. You know.
20:48
Speaker 1: We would see each other in passion and I was like, hey, man,
20:51
Speaker 1: let's just work on some music. And then you know,
20:53
Speaker 1: just the chemistry of how we worked was just just there,
20:56
Speaker 1: Like you know, he could always wrap and and elevate
21:00
Speaker 1: a certain song if I wanted to be like, Okay,
21:01
Speaker 1: I like this out he's all right, what do we
21:03
Speaker 1: do this? You know, so we just try to do
21:05
Speaker 1: it as a mixtape. Man. You know some of the
21:07
Speaker 1: songs we did on our first initial mixtape, I got
21:09
Speaker 1: a Grammy off of Like Dude, a couple of other
21:11
Speaker 1: songs like, so I was like, man, let's just do
21:14
Speaker 1: it for real this time. So like AO, that's out
21:17
Speaker 1: right now. I did that while I was in rehab,
21:19
Speaker 1: like at the same right at the same time, I
21:21
Speaker 1: was doing Loyal and I was just like, um Nick
21:23
Speaker 1: Knaka gave us both of the beasts, and I was like,
21:25
Speaker 1: I don't know what, we might as well just do it,
21:27
Speaker 1: just do this, do this album. Let's just let's just
21:29
Speaker 1: do an album, because you know, the mixtape has such
21:32
Speaker 1: as a great buzz and success. Let's just give him
21:35
Speaker 1: music because the music we make just for fun is
21:38
Speaker 1: great music, you know. Kind because you know, he's in
21:42
Speaker 1: the news a lot more. You know, he's in his
21:44
Speaker 1: feelings on Instagram with the whole college jennything. He put
21:47
Speaker 1: a picture this morning and said he loved and beautiful
21:49
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. I mean, whatever decision
21:52
Speaker 1: my man want to make. You know, I'm an rock
21:54
Speaker 1: with him, like you know I ain't golen fighting on
21:56
Speaker 1: the battles, but it's just like whatever decision you make,
22:00
Speaker 1: you know, we see out a lot of things. So
22:01
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I just tell her,
22:04
Speaker 1: I say, hey, man, if you're dating some some regular
22:08
Speaker 1: weak chick whatever, you wouldn't mean, you wouldn't be talked about.
22:11
Speaker 1: Nobody would care. Like you'd be like, all right, Tiger,
22:14
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But because it's news, just
22:17
Speaker 1: take it for what it was. If they're saying some
22:19
Speaker 1: negative stuff, run with it. Cool. You know, I'll call
22:23
Speaker 1: you Bobby Bage and like if you saw the Whitney movie, Yeah,
22:29
Speaker 1: everybody thought Bobby was the bad influence on Whitney, but
22:32
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. Always wonder if you feel like
22:35
Speaker 1: you get that, uh, that same misconception about you too,
22:38
Speaker 1: because everybody thinks about the situation with you and Shorty. Yeah,
22:41
Speaker 1: but nobody really knows what happened because you've never come
22:44
Speaker 1: out and said, well, it wasn't on my fun because
22:46
Speaker 1: you can't really. Yeah. Yeah, you know, for me, I
22:48
Speaker 1: think it's a character mode for me because you know
22:51
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I think I look Corney's Hills coming
22:54
Speaker 1: out right now, just being like, you know what, guess
22:56
Speaker 1: what happened? This was? You know, that's not my position
22:58
Speaker 1: as a man. I feel like taking responsibility for my actions,
23:02
Speaker 1: you know, is the best thing I could do. Um.
23:05
Speaker 1: But also I don't. I don't paint a picture of
23:07
Speaker 1: her in a bad light or myself, you know, I
23:09
Speaker 1: think we were both young in a situation. People do
23:12
Speaker 1: the crazy stuff and a lot and more time than often,
23:15
Speaker 1: A lot of abusive stuff happens in relationship, but people
23:17
Speaker 1: just don't bring it out, Like my laundry is just
23:19
Speaker 1: out there to dry, so you can see. Nobody cared
23:21
Speaker 1: if the guy's getting hit, you know what I'm saying.
23:24
Speaker 1: But but but I feel like it's it's more of
23:30
Speaker 1: a I think, I think all in all, like it's
23:35
Speaker 1: still some but but a lot of past bitterness that
23:38
Speaker 1: I've had because I've taken all the blunt for it.
23:40
Speaker 1: And then I can't sit there and be like, well,
23:43
Speaker 1: what was me? Because I did partake in what I
23:46
Speaker 1: did and did put my hands on it, like you
23:48
Speaker 1: dimn if you do them if you don't, you know
23:49
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I think I think the thing
23:52
Speaker 1: that pisses me off the most now is that. Like
23:56
Speaker 1: even when I was at the Grammys, like, uh, like
23:59
Speaker 1: this ship this ship. No, but I left before that
24:03
Speaker 1: even came on. I didn't even know it was on
24:04
Speaker 1: until I looked at my Instagram and Twitter, and then
24:07
Speaker 1: I don't even know the dude he got it was
24:08
Speaker 1: a domestic violence. But my thing is that's great. I'm
24:14
Speaker 1: that's great. If you're gonna focus on that, that's great. No. No,
24:17
Speaker 1: but also also talk about Mike Brown, talk about all
24:20
Speaker 1: these all this injustice that's going on as far as
24:23
Speaker 1: politically and and all the things that are wrong with
24:26
Speaker 1: our country. You know what I'm saying, don't use the
24:28
Speaker 1: music aspect of music to just talk about domestic violence
24:31
Speaker 1: because y'all don't talk about it or nothing else. You
24:33
Speaker 1: ain't got nobody to know other advocates. I want to
24:36
Speaker 1: see whether awards that and all the fundraisers for domestic
24:39
Speaker 1: violence that all these so people are doing. You know.
24:42
Speaker 1: For me, I'm just being real, like it's just like cool,
24:45
Speaker 1: depict that and do your thing. And then you got
24:48
Speaker 1: other people in the crowd that are that are artists.
24:50
Speaker 1: I don't even know half of these people because I
24:51
Speaker 1: don't listen to the music. But I've seen little tweets
24:54
Speaker 1: and stuff like oh oh, wells well, you shouldn't let
24:56
Speaker 1: Chris Brown come to the wards then, and all this
24:58
Speaker 1: stuff like that, And to me, that's gonna slapping my
25:01
Speaker 1: face because I ain't got nothing to do with you.
25:03
Speaker 1: Like if you if you in a total different lane
25:05
Speaker 1: and you're doing whatever you do, your opinion shouldn't be
25:08
Speaker 1: that valid. You should worry about what the hell you're doing,
25:10
Speaker 1: because I would old Chris Brown came up smacking the mouth,
25:14
Speaker 1: but but the new one is like, okay, cool, well
25:17
Speaker 1: tell me how to get into them. Pearly gates you
25:19
Speaker 1: because you're so perfect, because I need to know how
25:21
Speaker 1: to get on that VIP list because I want to
25:23
Speaker 1: get it. I want to get it. I want to
25:24
Speaker 1: get there too. You know, don't even think of for you,
25:27
Speaker 1: because you own yours. I think those for the people
25:29
Speaker 1: sitting in that crowd who're probably doing it behind closed
25:31
Speaker 1: doors an important discussion. I'm cool with the PA in
25:35
Speaker 1: general if you want to make that statement. Whatever cause
25:38
Speaker 1: is helping families and people that's going through the same
25:42
Speaker 1: situation and I went through whatever, that's great. I'm talking
25:44
Speaker 1: about for the entertainers for the people who have other fans,
25:48
Speaker 1: who people who look at me with the side I
25:50
Speaker 1: when I'm in there, when I don't owe them nothing.
25:52
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Because I really could care
25:54
Speaker 1: less if you like me, but I guarantee you your
25:57
Speaker 1: fans know my music thinking man on him. I'm still
26:02
Speaker 1: so young for that. Seasons you talked about babies last time.
26:05
Speaker 1: I see, I can deal with babies, baby with somebody
26:10
Speaker 1: you want to marriage. See, I mean see, I don't.
26:12
Speaker 1: I don't follow a certain form to see. I'm the
26:14
Speaker 1: total opposite of the guy that y'all want to give
26:16
Speaker 1: y'all the great answers for because I'm gonna give you.
26:19
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the remix. Yeah, I'm gonna get
26:23
Speaker 1: you a remix. So I'm cool having a baby great
26:26
Speaker 1: the marriage thing. I'm not cool getting you half of
26:28
Speaker 1: what I earned all my life. You know what I'm saying,
26:31
Speaker 1: Like pre nups all that that's cool. I just think
26:33
Speaker 1: marriage in our generation marriage has been distorted to our
26:37
Speaker 1: generation of people because it hasn't worked like the older
26:41
Speaker 1: generation has worked. Our generation what we've seen, what we
26:44
Speaker 1: what we've seen, and as as our culture as generations
26:48
Speaker 1: from being you know, teenagers to now high school whatever,
26:51
Speaker 1: whether college whatever, it's all about to turn up. You
26:55
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And it's and and I'm not
26:57
Speaker 1: the best. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not promoting to
27:01
Speaker 1: turn up. I'm just saying that's what our mentality is,
27:05
Speaker 1: social media, whatever it is. So it's all about what's
27:09
Speaker 1: hot at the time. So those values aren't aren't instilled
27:14
Speaker 1: in us right now. We don't have leaders to instill that.
27:17
Speaker 1: I'm particularly not gonna be that leader because I'm gonna
27:20
Speaker 1: turn up with you. You know what I'm saying. I'm
27:23
Speaker 1: just gonna be real. But we don't have those kind
27:26
Speaker 1: of leaders that instill that. So certain females, I'm not
27:29
Speaker 1: I'm not just my female audience. But females mentalities aren't
27:32
Speaker 1: on that, you know what I'm saying. Young dudes, guys,
27:35
Speaker 1: we ain't trying to get married right now. You got
27:36
Speaker 1: a couple of us, but we're not. So I just
27:39
Speaker 1: think as I progress and find out who I am
27:42
Speaker 1: more and more like in my thirties. Do you want
27:46
Speaker 1: though too? I'm cool too. If one is fine, if
27:50
Speaker 1: it's a boy on the first trial bond, you should
27:53
Speaker 1: have tracked those two already got then now you know,
27:56
Speaker 1: I would like, i'mna be honest, like that would have
27:59
Speaker 1: been my ultimate boom. You know what I'm saying. At
28:01
Speaker 1: the time, when I was doing my wham wham, but both,
28:04
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, get both of them, boom
28:08
Speaker 1: and I'm good the condom off. Do you think a
28:13
Speaker 1: condom with that one? Come on? Now? Yeah? Do you
28:18
Speaker 1: think you could be monogamous? Or do you feel like
28:20
Speaker 1: anybody that dates Chris Brown has to know it's gonna
28:23
Speaker 1: be some threesomes happening, It's gonna be songs. Come on, no, no, no,
28:27
Speaker 1: So this this, this is my take on it, because
28:29
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask me the same question, even
28:31
Speaker 1: just in my personal life. The good thing about it,
28:34
Speaker 1: I think I can you know, it's just the understanding
28:36
Speaker 1: the type of woman that has to be able to
28:39
Speaker 1: deal with an artist, not just me, just an artist
28:41
Speaker 1: in general, has to understand that creativity plays a role
28:45
Speaker 1: and everything, sex everything. So for me, I'm not saying
28:51
Speaker 1: generally I would just need to have sex with multiple
28:54
Speaker 1: women all the time, but that's more of a choice
28:57
Speaker 1: for us as artists rather than the dude that works
29:00
Speaker 1: at Kingcod Unless his game is just amazing. But so
29:05
Speaker 1: it's a lot harder, you know, you know what I'm saying,
29:07
Speaker 1: it's a lot harder for us to fight temptation. Not
29:10
Speaker 1: saying we don't, but it's a lot harder for us
29:12
Speaker 1: when a girl can just come up to us and
29:14
Speaker 1: be like, Hey, I want to perform Felasio on you
29:17
Speaker 1: just because I like you. Chris just you know, Chris
29:21
Speaker 1: just did. Chris just basically told the girl, give me
29:23
Speaker 1: some head within a nice creative but but but yours.
29:32
Speaker 1: But I had this conversation with my girl, and you know,
29:34
Speaker 1: she she she understands it. But I do my best
29:37
Speaker 1: to not to not cheating, not you know, be crazy
29:41
Speaker 1: all over the place. I always have females around me,
29:44
Speaker 1: though I'll never that that helps me write better songs,
29:48
Speaker 1: That helps me be more creative and understand the perspective
29:50
Speaker 1: of what these certain women want. But she she makes
29:55
Speaker 1: it clear, she walks, but you said you always having
29:58
Speaker 1: three somethings together, So that hell, you know, that's that's early. Then,
30:02
Speaker 1: that was that was early. That was that was early day.
30:05
Speaker 1: You know, the feelers getting involved and you got to
30:08
Speaker 1: stop that, you know, you know, girls are getting involved
30:11
Speaker 1: to be like why you ain't finished with me or
30:13
Speaker 1: this something like, No, I don't like the reasons because
30:17
Speaker 1: I'm indecisive. I don't know one. I get mad the
30:22
Speaker 1: Family Show. I wish. I wish more older R and
30:26
Speaker 1: B artists would have those conversations with you about you know,
30:30
Speaker 1: girls are in this era because we'll have people come
30:32
Speaker 1: on the show, whether it's to you know, could be
30:34
Speaker 1: jacking out like the Dream was recently here. I saw
30:36
Speaker 1: his interview yea to a little jam, but I don't
30:39
Speaker 1: think they understand. It was a light one, but I
30:41
Speaker 1: don't think they understand girls in this era. It's not
30:44
Speaker 1: the I want to be in love er no more.
30:46
Speaker 1: I mean it is in a way because girls always
30:48
Speaker 1: want to be loved. Love gets out and I'll kind
30:51
Speaker 1: of contradict what he said, you know, I kind of
30:53
Speaker 1: go against what he said as far as like the
30:55
Speaker 1: R and B artists want to be rappers and stuff. No,
30:59
Speaker 1: it's just a different times. It's a totally different time
31:02
Speaker 1: when when it when it when it's a different field
31:04
Speaker 1: of like I said, the turn up era. We like
31:07
Speaker 1: I was the first dude kind of giving those hip
31:09
Speaker 1: hop beats on and B records you know what I'm saying.
31:12
Speaker 1: So it's just like when I did M Jose Ain't
31:15
Speaker 1: loyal That was from a personal experience of me being
31:18
Speaker 1: able to see different facets of thirsty women's thoughts. We
31:22
Speaker 1: ain't gonna call on women. You call him thought certain
31:24
Speaker 1: certain women only attract to a certain crowd. You go
31:28
Speaker 1: to one house, you go to Trade house, same girls,
31:31
Speaker 1: you go to Tiger House, same girls, go to Sean
31:33
Speaker 1: kings the house, same girls. Go to my house. A
31:35
Speaker 1: girl like and you'd be like, dang, I just saw
31:37
Speaker 1: you at that party. Why are you trying to get
31:39
Speaker 1: be my girlfriend? If you let Nary hit it? You
31:42
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's what the loyalty was.
31:45
Speaker 1: No loyalty there. So that's what's the reason for that
31:48
Speaker 1: song because of personal experiences. Now in his case, I
31:52
Speaker 1: don't know if he gets to do what we do.
31:56
Speaker 1: Sorry to say that, but it's a different age bracket
31:59
Speaker 1: and it's a different mentality. Man, you don't have to
32:01
Speaker 1: face for it. I'm just saying he's not Chris Brown, right,
32:07
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's not Chris Brown, and he not Tiger,
32:09
Speaker 1: and he not any not trade songs. He's a great writer.
32:13
Speaker 1: I could also be hating and say writers want to
32:15
Speaker 1: be artists. It's just not made for them. They can
32:19
Speaker 1: write great songs, but they can't perform them. They can't
32:22
Speaker 1: sell out of runs, they don't have it. But that'd
32:26
Speaker 1: be me hating m. But you're speaking honest. I'm being
32:29
Speaker 1: honest now. Fifty cent? Yeah, how did you a fifty
32:32
Speaker 1: cent get about y'all at the ball Clay citing y'all
32:35
Speaker 1: on the album? How'd you get with that? Crazy? See?
32:37
Speaker 1: You know what, fifty? I respect fifty the most out
32:40
Speaker 1: of anybody. He's crazy because and that's why I kind
32:43
Speaker 1: of get some of my ideas because I just I
32:46
Speaker 1: don't have time for being faked like he don't play
32:50
Speaker 1: the part. He is him all day and I'm the
32:52
Speaker 1: same way. So I actually meant fifty. When I was
32:55
Speaker 1: twelve years old, I did a g unit campaign with him,
32:57
Speaker 1: with me and my best friend. He'll tell you the story.
32:59
Speaker 1: Everything on no No, I had the kid outfit, the
33:03
Speaker 1: kids Unit, So so we did a we did a
33:05
Speaker 1: campaign and I remember me singing for him and just
33:08
Speaker 1: you know, being on the photo shoot, like man, we
33:09
Speaker 1: do music whatever, whatever, And they always liked our music.
33:12
Speaker 1: But you know, they I as an artist. Now I
33:14
Speaker 1: can understand why they wouldn't just sign us on the spot,
33:17
Speaker 1: because we don't just do that. We hear somebody wrap us,
33:19
Speaker 1: somebody's good. Oh man, you dope cool? All right, keep
33:22
Speaker 1: doing your thing, you know what I'm saying. So that's
33:23
Speaker 1: what it was. As I progressed, when he saw me
33:26
Speaker 1: as a as an actual entertainer, He's like, I said,
33:29
Speaker 1: you don't remember me. He was like, bro, you was
33:31
Speaker 1: the little boy that that was at the little you know,
33:33
Speaker 1: shoot boo, and he remember. So he always had a
33:36
Speaker 1: respect for me because he knew me from actually a
33:39
Speaker 1: little kid. So you know, we got into the studio
33:43
Speaker 1: and we always like Kevin touched like you know, a
33:45
Speaker 1: couple of like maybe four or five years ago, I
33:47
Speaker 1: did a matter Square Garden and he came out and
33:50
Speaker 1: came out on the show. But I said, oh yo, bro,
33:53
Speaker 1: we hung out of La. He got on me and
33:54
Speaker 1: Tiger's album, um, and I just got on some new
33:57
Speaker 1: stuff for his album, and I was just like we
33:59
Speaker 1: just vibed out, and I just I understand the insanity
34:03
Speaker 1: in the genius, you know what I'm saying. So I'm
34:07
Speaker 1: I'm able to be befriend that. You know, me and
34:09
Speaker 1: him are both not all the way there, but that's
34:12
Speaker 1: what makes us great. He's a crazy one. If you
34:14
Speaker 1: have a problem, don't call him, don't go get him,
34:21
Speaker 1: Like he's that guy who drive you there. Who do
34:24
Speaker 1: you call when you need to talk to somebody about something?
34:26
Speaker 1: Clearly somebody, but somebody in this business with somebody that
34:30
Speaker 1: you call when things are a little crazy and you're like,
34:32
Speaker 1: all right, I gotta talk to you know, the one
34:34
Speaker 1: person that I can honestly say that I look up
34:36
Speaker 1: to out of out of anybody, that's that's you know,
34:39
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson have been would have been my idol. But
34:41
Speaker 1: as far as like um, character, uh, poise and you know,
34:46
Speaker 1: just just a sense of themselves and and don't need
34:49
Speaker 1: to fit in, don't need to act a certain way whatever.
34:52
Speaker 1: It's for real really honestly like like, um, he's like
34:56
Speaker 1: one of my inspirations. As far as like just a
34:59
Speaker 1: just a stand up man, just a good guy. You
35:01
Speaker 1: know that kid Virginia, you know, got his own got
35:04
Speaker 1: his kid, got his girl, like cool, but just fly
35:07
Speaker 1: doing his own thing on his own time. I wants
35:10
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's very respectable and understands the game,
35:14
Speaker 1: you know. So I think I think I'll take a
35:15
Speaker 1: lot of inspiration from him. So if I really need
35:18
Speaker 1: some real advice, I'll talk to him, you know, a
35:20
Speaker 1: conversation were always having an industry, and I wonder if
35:22
Speaker 1: you feel this way, you feel like you may have
35:24
Speaker 1: missed the moment because everybody says Chris is supposed to
35:27
Speaker 1: be the next Michael Jackson. He's supposed to be on
35:29
Speaker 1: the same level as b or whatever. You know. You know,
35:31
Speaker 1: the funny thing is I am on that level. But
35:35
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm Michael Jackson Beyonce. I just I mean,
35:38
Speaker 1: if you know you're great, you know you're great. You
35:40
Speaker 1: know when people when people say he posted to be that,
35:42
Speaker 1: that's because they already know I'm not. I guess from
35:45
Speaker 1: a marketable level, like with you know you you know
35:46
Speaker 1: you're doing the Juicy food commercial and that and and
35:50
Speaker 1: that's that's that's based on that's like high school like popularity.
35:56
Speaker 1: That's cool. But if I know that every little kid,
36:00
Speaker 1: the person that's dancing, if I go, if I go
36:02
Speaker 1: make a Billy Jean right now, and I just moon
36:05
Speaker 1: walk across stage, because that time has passed from Michael Jackson,
36:09
Speaker 1: those little kids would be like Chris Brown did The Moonwalker.
36:13
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, But I won't but I
36:15
Speaker 1: won't take that credit. But I know by the dancings
36:19
Speaker 1: that I do now and the music that I'm doing
36:21
Speaker 1: and how it transitions, because I never just stick to
36:23
Speaker 1: one genre. I'll try to bounce around, Like my next
36:25
Speaker 1: album is gonna be like Universal, try to put you
36:29
Speaker 1: overseas for a couple of months with me, you know
36:30
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So so I think with my audience,
36:34
Speaker 1: it kind of differs because it's such a wide range.
36:36
Speaker 1: Like like even on my shows like I do Meet
36:38
Speaker 1: and Greece, you have a forty five year old woman
36:41
Speaker 1: come in by herself, no no kids, you know, I
36:43
Speaker 1: love you. Then you have six year old come in,
36:47
Speaker 1: you know, with your T shirt on, addressing like how
36:49
Speaker 1: you look in the Loyal video or whatever. You know,
36:51
Speaker 1: you have certain things that you that you reach to,
36:53
Speaker 1: certain people, you know, and I think for me, it's
36:56
Speaker 1: just on how I progress. I can't look back and
37:00
Speaker 1: say I wish I could have did it this way,
37:02
Speaker 1: because then I'll be mad at my life. You know
37:05
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because I can't get it to the
37:07
Speaker 1: fullest potential, all I can do now is just be like,
37:10
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna kill everything I do.
37:13
Speaker 1: How hard is it to move forward? Though? Because everybody
37:15
Speaker 1: wants to keep you on all the negative stuff. They
37:17
Speaker 1: want to keep reminding you of it. It's only hard
37:21
Speaker 1: when it stops you, you know what I'm saying, It's
37:23
Speaker 1: hard when it stops you. As far as like legal situations,
37:26
Speaker 1: like when this probation is said and done, it's nothing
37:28
Speaker 1: else you can talk about. You can't keep bringing that
37:30
Speaker 1: the situation up because I ain't doing nothing. I ain't
37:34
Speaker 1: still on something for that, you know what I'm saying.
37:36
Speaker 1: I'm done. So it's like I get my twenties back.
37:39
Speaker 1: You know, I got on probation when I was seventeen.
37:41
Speaker 1: You know, I'm twenty five, you know, but you know
37:47
Speaker 1: so so me being able to transition now, I get
37:49
Speaker 1: to start overcoming, right, you know. And I just think
37:53
Speaker 1: me just focusing on the music. I think every aspect
37:56
Speaker 1: of the music I do. I like to do stuff
37:58
Speaker 1: that people are like, oh, I would have never I
38:00
Speaker 1: thought I heard that kind of music from Chris, But
38:02
Speaker 1: I never do because you know, five six years ago,
38:04
Speaker 1: you would have never thought you'd heard these holes. Ain't
38:06
Speaker 1: Lloyd or you know you're never here to you know
38:09
Speaker 1: me and Tiger album where ninety five percent of it
38:11
Speaker 1: is me rapping. I might be singing on a hook,
38:13
Speaker 1: but you get a chance to hear me as a
38:15
Speaker 1: lyricist instead of just being you know, an RB singer.
38:18
Speaker 1: You know. So it's just it's just the transition of
38:21
Speaker 1: me being able to be an entertainer. I don't call
38:23
Speaker 1: myself an R and B artist, a pop artist. I
38:25
Speaker 1: call myself an entertainer artist in general, whether it's painting,
38:29
Speaker 1: was or anything, because I try to beat in every
38:32
Speaker 1: facet of music right anything. You know what, why whyn't
38:35
Speaker 1: I ask Tige the same thing, why do people in
38:36
Speaker 1: the industry pretend to like each other? Because it's clear
38:38
Speaker 1: that you and Alby don't get along, but you're always
38:40
Speaker 1: taking pictures together a couple of months ago, like, why
38:42
Speaker 1: are you pretending to get along with a present? No,
38:44
Speaker 1: it's not even it's not even a pretend thing. I
38:46
Speaker 1: think what people do is it's a it's a me factor.
38:50
Speaker 1: It's about me. It's about me, It's about me. As
38:53
Speaker 1: artists people are selfish because they want to be the best.
38:58
Speaker 1: And it's only right because everybody wants to be the
39:01
Speaker 1: top person. It's no friendly, it's friendly competition. But on
39:05
Speaker 1: these slots, like when y'all got the songs coming up,
39:08
Speaker 1: new song or whatever it is, everything is a slot, BTS,
39:11
Speaker 1: all that stuff, like I mean, BDS is just you
39:14
Speaker 1: just have to You got to be in the number.
39:17
Speaker 1: Either you first or you're not. It's not your second
39:20
Speaker 1: like your third. I got the number two records in
39:22
Speaker 1: the country. Nobody cared. I got the number one record
39:25
Speaker 1: in the country. I'm the best, you know what I'm saying.
39:27
Speaker 1: So everybody wants to be the best, so they have
39:29
Speaker 1: to work for it, and friendship gets in the way
39:33
Speaker 1: of that. So people will be fake. People are fake
39:37
Speaker 1: so they can be cordial. They might be fans of
39:39
Speaker 1: the person. But I'll be lying if I say everybody
39:44
Speaker 1: don't envy everybody, whoever, whoever is that number one person.
39:48
Speaker 1: And it's usually mean most of the time. And I'll
39:50
Speaker 1: be honest with my records, like you know, I get
39:53
Speaker 1: a lot of number one, so it's like a lot
39:56
Speaker 1: of people envy that, you know, So even even if
39:59
Speaker 1: somebody got the number one spot over me. Dang, I
40:01
Speaker 1: want to get the number on the spot. What I
40:02
Speaker 1: gotta do to get there? Man, forget their record, you
40:06
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You're not thinking about, oh man,
40:08
Speaker 1: they deserve that or they're good. You know, you're thinking
40:12
Speaker 1: about how you're gonna beat them up that spot. You know.
40:15
Speaker 1: So the friendship kind of deteriorates from that. So you
40:19
Speaker 1: get to hay, what's up man, oh man, cool man, whatever,
40:22
Speaker 1: menace hanging out, let's be bored. And then then the
40:25
Speaker 1: dude be like, Man, I'm trying to get this dude
40:27
Speaker 1: out of here. I'm gonna set him up. I'm gonna
40:29
Speaker 1: say this, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna sneak this
40:31
Speaker 1: on record. I'm high this girl my lakes girl picks, Like,
40:34
Speaker 1: why do y'all all stupid? The same girls too? Like
40:36
Speaker 1: that's weird to me. My thing is, like I think
40:39
Speaker 1: it's it's a greed factor, you know for me, Like
40:42
Speaker 1: I used to do that all the time, Like back
40:44
Speaker 1: in the day, I was like, Oh, that's who Shanty
40:46
Speaker 1: talked to. I'm about to get that because it's a
40:52
Speaker 1: it's an ego thing you want to be, you want
40:54
Speaker 1: to feel empowered. You want to conquer it. You know
40:56
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I think now mentally I'm not on
40:59
Speaker 1: that page because I don't care about that no more.
41:01
Speaker 1: But I think what it is is it goes right
41:04
Speaker 1: back to the records. It's an envy thing. You want
41:06
Speaker 1: to be the best. You want to know why that
41:08
Speaker 1: particular female like this person so much and they don't
41:12
Speaker 1: like you. They're not listening to your music. So let
41:15
Speaker 1: me go and try to talk to this person while
41:17
Speaker 1: he's locked up, because I know if he was out
41:19
Speaker 1: of jail, you'd beat mine. And he's still probably gonna
41:23
Speaker 1: beat that. To fade from Brown, you talked about the gatekeepers.
41:29
Speaker 1: Have any of the gatekeepers like ever said all right, Chris,
41:32
Speaker 1: you're good now, we're gonna let you live. Have they
41:34
Speaker 1: ever told you you're you're done for a little while?
41:36
Speaker 1: No Abo Jay was blocking you, Jay z Oh, No,
41:40
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think. I don't never. I never
41:42
Speaker 1: thought Jay was blocking me. I don't think that was ever.
41:44
Speaker 1: You know something. I think that was just a rumor
41:47
Speaker 1: because he was so close to the generation. But I
41:49
Speaker 1: don't know, because because I see him, I see him,
41:51
Speaker 1: and we always were cordial, like, you know, we don't
41:54
Speaker 1: hang out, but we're cordial, you know. Um, But I don't.
41:57
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never really met any of the gatekeepers
42:01
Speaker 1: per se to be able to have a sit down
42:03
Speaker 1: with them. But the funniest thing when I do meet
42:05
Speaker 1: certain people or certain people that are in the position,
42:08
Speaker 1: they were like, oh man, I thought you were so
42:09
Speaker 1: much different. I thought you were just like an angry guy, mad,
42:13
Speaker 1: just hate the world. And that's just the perception because
42:16
