  Speaker 3: I like the way it makes me feel. I like
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the decisions that I make when I'm stoned. I like
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the way movies look when I'm stoned. I like playing
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: with my kids when I'm sting. I just love being high.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Off marijuana though, just marijuana, not anything crazy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: The Cushion Orange Juice, Range Juice too. Yeah, great project.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I love I love the first time second apid though
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: th tough it. I really love the first asp thank you.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: But it got like a nineteen ninety now G funk
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: sound for sure. Was that intentional?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, definitely.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I think that was like the original sound of Cushion
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Orange Juice For a lot of people, it was like
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: nostalgic for the nineties or G funk or you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: just riding around in.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The car going to house parties getting fresh.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: It just got that whole you know, player vibe to
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: it and a little bit of funk to it as
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: well as just like the way the beats slap and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the way that the base is there. So a lot
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of the productions Cardo and Sledgron and E Dan and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: just the original people who you know, put that sound together.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So it was really easy to just bring it back. Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you like it. Slaps thank you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: You had announced in twenty twenty four that this project
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: was done and now it's here.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: The release of.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: It, so is it traditional release to streaming or like
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: how you're going to do because Cushion Orange just one
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: it was like you do did your own thing. You dropped,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: you kind of changed the way people were listening to
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: music mixes at the time.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Right now, this one's going to streaming.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: We're releasing it through BMG, and uh, they've been really
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: really cool at letting me kind of just curate the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: vibe and what the feeling of it is, and they
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: understand what the project is.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And we've had meetings, you know, weekly just.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: How we're going to attack it and you know, make
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: it last and making something real. So I've just been
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: really excited about updating, you know, the format. I think
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: that's what's most important, especially for like being an OG
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: in the game, is you know, releasing things with the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: times how they are now, but also still being innovative
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: as well. And that's why you see, like in between
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I've been dropping freestyles and doing a lot of stuff
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: like just entertaining my fans because I still have that freedom,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I'm able to do that as we get ready for
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the album too, So just to put it all together
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and make it current, I think that was the idea
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: for all of us.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You know, yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary of Cushion Ars.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I did hear that April fourteen, So you
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: did hear that, Yeah, album, I dropped so many albums
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that, like every month is an anniversary
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: of another project.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But fifteen years, Yeah, that's tight.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And I think we're really lucky to be able to well,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I'm grateful to be able to drop you know, the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: sequel as close to as I did with the original one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's like a sign that just you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: feels now it just worked out like that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It is divine alignment.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Like that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Do you remember your mind state? April fourteenth, twenty ten.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I do, Okay, Yeah, what was it. I was just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: getting off tour. I was in Miami.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I was working on rolling papers the album, but I
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: already had Cushion or Orange Juice done, and I had
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: been hyping it up for a lot of months before,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: so my fans knew it was about to come out.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And I remember just going to the hotel room. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: was in a nice ass hotel on the beach, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'm about to drop it, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I just released it from my computer that day. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: was really I was still am super confident, but I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: was really really like super duper confident about the music
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and just my connection with my fans, So that was
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the time to do it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Did it pissed the label off when you dropped in.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I really wasn't signed at that point. They were kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of thinking about signing me, working on signing me. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it didn't piss them off at all. They knew how
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: important it was for me to still curate that organic
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: thing because at that time I was doing a lot
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: more for myself than any label could do. And it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: still like that, Like I promote myself, I do my
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: social media, I do my merch, I do my marketing,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and I do all I just give you a whole
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: package and then you could just you know, you look
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: like a genius.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Well because changed everything though, that was like your that's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: like your section eighty.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: That's so far gone that like beanded the tailor game. Yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Like we were talking about it before you came in.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Like I remember the feeling when Cushion orangees came out,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: and like I was a senior in high school and
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: like they would throw parties where you would literally come
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: to smoke and only listen to Cushion Orange jeps, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: like it was it was such a movement that it
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: was like really such a movement.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what it was for. So it's good
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that that happened.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It was all intentional and it was like, like you said,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that's like my you know, or my doggy style or
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: my illmatic Like I knew I had to make something
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: that was like that, and you know that was a
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: good one to be attached to. And yeah, it was
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: just I always tell people it's bigger than the music.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It's stuff like what you're saying, like, that's what makes
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: it what it is. Like even this album now, it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: amazing music wise, but you can't just sit there and
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: listen to it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You gotta experience that shit.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: You gotta go to a beach, you gotta go on vacation,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: you gotta kick it with the homies, you gotta hang
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: out super duper late. You got to hook up with
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: somebody who you've been you know, or you got to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: meet somebody who you never even understood understood that with you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: That's what makes it what it is, and that's what
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I'm excited for people to experience, as well as the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: music being good.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: People don't realize that though. When you put out music,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: music just provides the soundtrack to whatever you're experiencing in life. Yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that's why you can never argue with certain people about
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: certain albums because the time of life they were experiencing
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that album. Yeah, you can't like when somebody says, oh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: this is this is gonna remind you of whiz Kalif
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: for cushion Ards. Nah, right, I'm on something totally different
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: than I was than twenty ten exactly.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's personal.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people do have those personal moments or
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: those life decisions and what you're listening to at the
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: time definitely, you know dictates, you know what your memories
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of that are, so it gets deep.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Do you think that because I saw that you have
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: like it's twenty two or twenty three songs on the project.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's twenty two I.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Think so full Bonus records, four five Bonus record.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Bonus record.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: So normally with people who put that many songs on
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: in one place, it's like, you think people are gonna
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: listen to start to finish. But like I and me
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: listening to it, I don't have any doubt that people will.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Do you think that the conversation that you're having at
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: the beginning and then the conversation you haven't at the end,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: is it cohesive? Or do you just throw songs on there,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: like how do you kind of flowing out of well?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: With this project, the last maybe four songs we put
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: out before the album came out. We use this method
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: called the waterfall method, where you put songs out and
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: then add them.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: To the album later.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: And that was a conscious decision because I didn't know
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: what people were gonna want to hear. So those songs
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: helped me dictate what I was going to do with
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the album. And I still like those songs, but they
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: weren't exactly what you were going to get from the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: full album. So I used that as an opportunity to,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you know, do some promo and get the idea of
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the album out there. But by the time you get
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the actual real album, those eighteen songs are brand new.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Those are an experience that nobody has yet and that
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to get together. And that's where to me,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: the more the conversation is is from the intro to
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the eighteen song, and.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty simple.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: It's the whole album is just about keeping it players motivational.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: It's get stoned, and there's songs for the ladies and
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: their songs to ride around to. So as long as
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I'm in that pocket. Yeah, the conversation is good in
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: my opinion. I know what my fans want and what
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: they expect, so I didn't go outside of that at all.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Why a sequel after all of these years, because that
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: could be hit of miss too.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just again listening to the fans. Man, everybody
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: was telling me like how much they missed that sound
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: or that pocket of what I was doing at that time,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: or how much they enjoyed it. So it's nothing for
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: me as an artist to like, you know, dig in
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: my bag and get with the producers that I trust
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: and really not recreate that but do what.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: That sounds like now.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But it's the same feeling though, like you know what
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm not scared to do that. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it's all about the fans. It's offered them and it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: what they want, you know. Like a lot of nostalgic
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: stuff is coming back. And my era, like you said,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: is fifteen years ago, so it's way yeah, it's way
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: further removed than it is close. So why not just
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: go ahead and just revisit something that was you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: big to us and that people appreciate the.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Problem with fans though they fickle and they don't want
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you to grow. So you so you so even though
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: you've grown, like you're a father now, like your life
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: might be totally different than it was fifteen years ago,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: They're like, no, I want twenty ten. Yeah, that's impossible.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's impossible, really, yeah, because I think
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: they just want the best. Like I can experiment and
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I can sing, and I can do country songs or
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: pop records, but they're like, yo, we like when you rap,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: or I could wear you know, high fashion and you
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: know runway stuff, but they're like, we like when you
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: wear streetwear. And it's not hard for me to just
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: get right back into that. It's like, Okay, I'm trying
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: what I like and I'm still gonna do that in
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: my off time or if I get an opportunity to
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: do it, I'm gonna throw a suit on and I'm
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: gonna do a pop record, but it's not be my song.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: It'll be somebody else's and I could still chart and
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: perform it all over the world.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: But for my fans, I'm gonna give them what they want.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: But you are Dad now Dada too, and making the
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: music and putting this project together like it does still
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: sound like whisky. For it's new and it's innovative, but
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: it's it's still the same feeling. How do you because
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you are different, your dad is so different.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Now yeah, yeah, I think I'm just like a little
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just keep it one hundred like that's
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: what I always did. I always just talked about my life.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I talked about my day. I talk about my week.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: So like I've never run out of bars.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: What's it like doing this whole run?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I so you got your coach, they don't go nowhere, Man,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I need some cisors.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I got.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Get some scissors.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: But it was you were and you did you stay?
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: You did a stage right here, you did perform.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I came I came out with with my Fia, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I came out with Tie on Sunday.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: And now though when you running around, you got to
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: make time to get back to family too.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: So how is that going to because you're about to
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: go on the tour.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It's cool like with me because I feel like I
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: do a great balance of each So I've spun spun,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I've spent so much time at home and you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: having my regular schedule, it's okay for me to step
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: away and do this for now, because this is what
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I've been playing, this is what I've been working tours,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: so you know, it's all part of the same process,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: like it all goes together.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I feel like Coachella was quiet this year.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Now I wasn't quiet this year. It was it was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: pretty rowdy.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I think they're trying to just take it back to
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the essence of like what Coachella is about. So they
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: getting rid of like all the hype and all the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: parties and stuff, and it's really about going to the
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: festival and a lot of people ain't down and like
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: you know, go in the desert and get dusty like that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: How was the energy ill? Did you? Because I saw
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: people complaining that the crowd. Crowd was dead, not for
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: your not just for yoursel, but just in general.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, I think Coachella is all about like
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: the production and stuff like that. It's not really about
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: like seeing the crowd go crazy because they've been out
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: there all day, hot as hell, on drugs, sleeping in
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: tents and.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that, so you can't really expect like too much.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: But I think it was I think it was really
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: like what Coachella is all about Yeah, I had a
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: good time.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: It was cool. I don't think it was dead.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: I saw you were you and Amy were dancing on
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: the side of stage.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: P Yeah.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Why are people so mad that you that's your girlfriend?
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Why aren't mad that you dancing with your girl?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think people were mad.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I think people just need clickbait, Like that's what the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: world we live in these days. But I don't live
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: my life based off of that. I'm still gonna if
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I'm hearing some music like I'm I'm.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: A dance But you never have like kind of leaned
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: into all of that stuff though, Like you've always kind
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: of like just even if it was happening, you did
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: your own thing, but we didn't know what Like people
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: the clickbait stuff. So like even when you were dating
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: and Baroles now with Amy, just people are really invested
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: in your life because you're such a big start and
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: now your kids are growing up and they're on social
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: media as well too.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: People just want to know things and they throw things
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: on Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I know I'm in control all of that though.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I give him enough to you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: like I said, I don't live my life based off
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: of it. Yeah, but I know that people are nosy,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: like you haven't even seen my daughter and she's almost
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a year old.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: So I can keep some stuff quiet.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: But this is the entertainment industry, so at the end
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: of the day, people are going to have their perception
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: of whatever whatever. But as long as my intentions are good,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I know I'm out here doing exactly what I'm supposed
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to be doing, and nobody who really knows me and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: loves me is ever going to be embarrassed by my
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: actions when I'm outside, So you can say whatever they
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: want to.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you won't be doing nothing, you literally really do.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: How do you talk to like a Sebastian's older getting
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: older now, which is crazy because it's just crazy to see.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Him get older.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: No, but it's literally.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Like when you think about when he was first born
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: to now and just being a fan and watching him grow,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: there's probably so much things that you guys decide when
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: to talk to him about or not talk to him about.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: But your celebrity, so it's different. How do you kind
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: of like what is your discretion on, Like here's what
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I allow him to know or see or whatever, because
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: you can't guard kids from it everything.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just keep it one hundred with him too.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: He's a smart boy and these kids are we were
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: you know, grew up fast, but they're growing way faster
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: on the Internet and everything. So it's just about keeping
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: it real and you know, just allowing him to make
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: his own decisions as well. It's like I can tell
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: you what to do, but you know what's right and wrong,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: and just instilling that in him. And also his friend
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: group too. That's a real big thing now, is his
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: friend group. But I feel like just him being a kid.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: He's a normal kid. He goes through the same things
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: that normal kids go through. He gets in trouble at school.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: We have to get on zoom calls with his teachers,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Like all of it's on a.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Zoom call with a teacher.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: How is it?
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Like, how did the teachers react. I mean they probably
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: used to celebrity parents.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: They'd be cool.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: They be chill, Like I think it helps him a
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: little bit more too, They're like, oh shit, we get
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: to see what here?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: You can pass this class?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: How is it being a father of a daughter, Now,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I got four daughters, got his daughter, so I know
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: daughters bring out a different energy.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's it's super duper sweet. She's really young still,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: she's only eight months, she'll be nine months, so her
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: personality hasn't come out yet.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: But it is a little bit different having a little girl.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm older now too, as apparently I was twenty
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: five when I had Bash. I'm thirty seven now, so
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: it's just like a whole different mind state, like having
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a new child and it's a girl.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It was crazy to watch y'all all get older.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Not kids get older.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm because you know what it is. And I don't
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: know if it's because of the Internet. I don't think
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: we've had another movement like that when I think about
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the you and Nick Kendricks and.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like twenty sixteen, like Uzzi and Cardy
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: and them, they.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Had a movement.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: But I will say it's because I know what you
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: talking about with Uzzi, especially because I'm from Delaware, from Philly.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: But it was it's still just different, like I can't
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: really describe it, Like the way that the whole tailor
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: gang and like how we were dressing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: It was really different.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But the kids are doing that tozi them now.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we were the blog era.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would say, like the SoundCloud air like
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: trippy red and all of them like SoundCloud, and then
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: now it's more like the TikTok like the viral.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then streamers as well, like you know, so, yeah,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: we've had some good errors.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Man, I guess we don't know when the temperature changes
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: now because back in the day you could you can
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: see it on TV, you could hear it on radio.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Now in that kind of makes everything seem like it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: all yeah together, You don't you don't really see when
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: it's weird season or season. Nah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: See, I don't mean to keep disagreeing with you. I
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: think you just got to be tapped in. But that's
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: how it was back then too, Like you had to
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: be tapped in and know who the new up and
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: coming blog era rappers were, and then the older dudes
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: didn't really understand.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: They're like, man, these dudes got on.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Tight pants and book bags like that ain't rap music,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: so we look weird to them. It's just always the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: next generation looks weird to the other general, so you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: really don't like see them on their way up.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: You really don't understand it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Your pants, crazy.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Brow, your.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Essentially right now.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Back then those pants were tight h and them and
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: like American apparel getting like really tight hats.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: You had the people going and doing it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I remember with the.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: US yeahs on like I'm shocked you had kids.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: How tight they were?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Type of those pants were tight?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Bro, How often do you revisit the first Christian?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I say, I'm a lie before I answer a question.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I gotta stop doing that. You think that's smart, You're right.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I can't give it away though. Now. I listened to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: it a lot because we perform it a lot.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of like festivals and places where
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: they're like, can you come through and perform the whole
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: catalog or give us three songs off of there or
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: something like that. So I listened to it, and I
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: listened to it for inspiration too. Sometimes I like, I
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: sampled a couple of songs on this new one from
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the old one. I like threw it in there you
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: wouldn't even know, but just to like keep the DNA.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: There, Yeah, can you get can you tell me so
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: I can go?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You figure it out? Then I got to do it
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: again exactly and again and again because.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: It feels literally I said that ear it feels like
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: the original cushion orangees even though it's new music.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: But and a lot of artists can't do that, not
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: this far apart. H.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: It's not it's not obvious stuff. It's nothing that you
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: would be like, oh, this is that. But if somebody
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: told you, you'd be like duh.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But what is it that you do that?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Is it the beat or the melody? Like what is
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: it that you hid in?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: There's so many ways to manipulate music these days.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we just we just really, like I said, we
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: updated it, like we use new formulas for the same
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: thing that we already have. Like and then my producers,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: uh Cardo, it sound never went out of style. And
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: even with him producing with like Cardi and all of that,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: he still has his original drum kits and stuff like that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: So he's just getting right back in his bag. Sledgering.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I work with Mike and Keys and Problem and DJ
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Quick and just like throwing a lot of ideas around
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: to make something.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: That you know, like you said, remind you of the original.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: How much is LA an influence?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I would say.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: The La, like the lifestyle of LA is an influence.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I love LA, but I'm not from La. So I
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: didn't grow up like wanting to be a West Coast dude,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Like that's just how I.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Am, you know what I mean.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: And being from Pittsburgh, we would probably resonate the most
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: with some place like LA or the Bay or even
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: like Detroit, Chicago, like we have a lot in common
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: with them too, But I wouldn't necessarily say like I'm
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: LA influenced, but I'm definitely embraced in LA like a mom,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: just because of the similarities like in the production and
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the way that we talk and the way that we dress.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of people associated me with being a
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: West Coast artist.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the Snoop affiliation as well.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Snoop affiliation too, But that wasn't even just
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: like I wasn't like, yo, I need to be best
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: friends with Snoop Dogg. He heard my music and was like, man,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: this dude's tight. He embraced me, you know what I mean.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Like so that was like that, I'm grateful as heck
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: for that, Like you know what I mean, Like did
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: that ever get.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: On your nerves though, because like you're not from Like
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: did you ever feel like I needed because we I
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: think we all thought you were from.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Very long time.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Just the whole look, the whole vibe, like that's on
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: the East Coast. Like I feel like the way you sound,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: your look everything. I didn't know that people over this
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: way at all could look or emulate that, Like I
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: thought you had to go to La to look.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing. I wasn't even emulate nothing.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: That's just how I am. Like that's just what I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: be on.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Like there's pictures of me in high school on the
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: same vibe, and I listened to Dipset.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Like that's my favorite group.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Camera on my favorite So yeah, I just
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: love I mean, like I think it's just my demeanor.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: My swagger remind people more like West Coast smoking weed
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: for sure, being tatted, you know a lot of those things,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: like the Chucks like you're saying, like you associate that
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: with people from the West Coast. And then my beat
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: selection too, is real funky, like it's more like top down,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: right around type of music. And I think that came
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: more into play for me hanging out with currency, like
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: just being in New Orleans, we would just be more
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: on some smooth vibe type stuff rather than like really
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: turned up or trapped out type of music, and that
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: just became the you know, the style of beats that
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: you know, we both kind of went after.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I love how you keep Max B's name a lot.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on the new project. Yeah.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: He's also one of my favorite artists as well. Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh did you speak to them?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: You said?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: How often do I here and there? Yeah, especially now
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: that the album's coming out and he's coming home too. Yeah,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: we talk here and there. It's nothing too crazy to
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: just be like, I see big bro.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: How Didy'll get them on the project over the phone. Yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: that's just not good as that would be a yeah.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well the voice notes. It's easy to do it
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: on voice notes now and then just line it up.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Like I told you, we manipulated music these days.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: So you take your vocal, didn't put the beat behind it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I don't want people to start getting their friends in
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: jail on their records.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: The whole album.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I don't know, but don't
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: do it. They out of trouble.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: The other thing I was gonna say too, Man, do
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you see the moments in your life when like your
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: courage just went up, Like, for example, like when you
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: put out weed and boys, that's another level. You put
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: out uh the other black and yellow, that's another level,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and then see you again.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: That's every white person in America's favorite funeral.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Anthem favorite funeral. It is. Yeah, No, I think I had.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I look at my career like like a basketball.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Player or something like that, like me being signed to Atlantic.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I did really well, like being a major artist. So
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I look at it like that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: You just recently sold your home in Pittsburgh too, Yeah
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: all that the decision to do that, why just because
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: it was time or like because I know it's you know,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: that was a that was when you were on your
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: come up and you know, like letting that go.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why because I just had my daughter and I
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: wanted to move my mom out to LA. She was
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: tired of she was staying in that house. She was
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: just tired of being there.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Wow, it wasn't like a bad house.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: No, no, it's a nice house.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I just can't believe she hasn't already like moved to
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: LA at this point now, because.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: You know, you got it's hard to get older people
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: to move out.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Of there, it is, I mean, yeah, just being from Pittsburgh,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: like you know, She moved around a lot when we
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: were younger because of the military. So when she got
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: back to the burg, like she was just there, like
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: she was set up there. And when I left, that
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: was me leaving as an adult. But we hadn't lived
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: in the same city in a long time. So when
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I had my daughter, she wanted to move out to
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: LA and it just made sense. Just go ahead and
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you know, move on to the next chapter.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: And she with y'all now living with y'all, doesn't live.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: With me in LA.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: She has her own house and you know, we're in
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: a good distance from each other where we see each
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: other all the time.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, because I know people do that when they first
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: have babies, like just to get the extra help, have
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: mom there and just kind of step in.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It's pretty much like that. But she she has her
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: own spot, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: And it's super duper convenient because, like I said, I
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: haven't lived in the same city as my mom in
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: like fifteen years. So I'll be driving out of my
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: house and she'll be coming through the gates. So it's
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: super cool to just see my mom like randomly during
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: What you get with her grandkids yeah, she loves it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yo, she's like full time OG.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about your children being open to
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: public scrutiny like motherfuckers on social media commenting?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And yeah, no, it is what it is like.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I feel like they're going to go through that anyway
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: at school, Like they guys snapchat and they be doing
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: all that stuff at school. So that's just the world
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: that we live in now. And like back in the day,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: we used to rip on each other too, so we
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: just didn't have the computer to do it. But it
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: builds tough skin and it is what it is like.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I've always been able to still be confident in myself
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and function and not crash out, you know, due to
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: what anybody says about me.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So I feel like they'll be all right.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: If it's the week whenever you feel yourself about the
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: crash out or like no, no, no.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: No, it's not the weirdest the confidence man, I breathe,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I do yoga, I believe in myself. I got a
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: higher calling. Yeah, and sometimes they might be right. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: do look funny sometimes my.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Feet my feet are ugly or not ugly but messed up.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: But like you can't get mad at like you know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: people pointing out your flaws because we're not perfect. So
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: if you point out a flaw, you might be right.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: So you practice yoga.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I do hot yoga too. It'll be one hundred and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: thirty degrees in there.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I did that shit a couple of a couple of
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I did like a week and a half ago with
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: my wife. I couldn't. I did it, But that's shit.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: It is yoga.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like some old ladies in there. They go
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: every day. I'm like, y'all are gangster. They might do
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: it three times in one day.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I'm like, that's really gangsta.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: But the thing I didn't like about it, they don't
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: give you no tutorial like you gotta. It's like you're
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: just just like double Dutch word up. It's just like
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: your hold up, what you mean do this?
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: It means it's more of a flow. Yeah, it's a flow.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: So you watch everybody around you. You can look at
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: the instructor, you can look at you know, whoever makes
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: you comfortable in the room. Like you said you was
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: with your partner, so she probably went a couple of times,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: so you get, you know, fill it out.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: But it just helps you let go.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of stuff that you probably won't
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: be able to do it for a long time, but
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: you'll start to see progress.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And that's what it's about too. It's just about learning yourself.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Why don't you talk about stuff like that? I do?
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I said, I said it in my song. I was
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: like she working out, we're doing yoga and hiking. I said,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I say it in my music and the new music hiking.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I say it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: But like there's ways to do it and wrap me
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: music because at my age, people will quickly call you
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: unk and al yeah, no, no, no, I think said that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: He said, don't call me unk, call me big dog.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: That's the.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Y'all are not giving unk. He gives unk. Y'all don't
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: give no.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not unk. I could be unk. But if I'm
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: unk and I'm calling you nephew.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: And you don't and you don't want me to do that,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: three years, once you hit forty, you officially, well, them
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: is going to be my nephews.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Then that's a lot of people. That's what I'm saying though,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: But like they want to be they don't want to
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: be nephews. So don't call me unk, but them, there's
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: not wrong with being a un because un sign of respect.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: But the the derogatory term of it is just like
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: out of style, out of day. We don't want to
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: hear that slow, you know, to not it's just in
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: a way that they're like, all right, you know what
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: I mean. It's not like advice that they really want
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: to like live up to. And that's what I'm putting
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: it in a form and in a way where I'm
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: packaging it where you still can see yourself doing this
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: in the next couple of years. You could be twenty
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: three and listen to my music and be like, I'm
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: just a little bit more advanced.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just you know what I mean, I'm
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: on a different vibe. I'm on another level.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: And then a lot of the stuff that I say
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: too is personal to me, so it's not even really
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: for you to actually go out and do. I'm just explaining,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the things that are important to me, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I hope that inspires you.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: So, you know, kids, respect though, respect it's like old
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: nigga old ahead, yeah, old head, oldhead still okay o,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: g oh head still.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: And you know how you say oh head.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Like if you're like yo, oh hey, that's that's disrespectful me.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Like, yo oh hey, whatever's yo old head is like
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: that sounded real fragile, like.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Get out of the way from laid out in the
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: street or.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Something like that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: No, I love getting older. I think certain people get
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: better when they get older.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: They start to you know, different stages of their life,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: reveals things that their twenties and thirties never have. So
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I think that, you know, I'm pretty much on my
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: way to that, and I'm enjoying myself, like at the
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: age that I'm at. I love being this age.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I love telling people my age and then being like
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: damn because it catches a lot of people off guard.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: But it is what it is though.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: But that's what I like about you opening up about
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the yoga and the hiking and whatever other mindfulness things.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: You may be right because you talk about how first
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: chrishion Ards juice influenced the generation of stoners. I'm like, well, damn,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: what's this part two gonna influence?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: See that's the thing about the first Christian orange juice.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: It did inspire a lot of stoners, but it created
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of bosses too. A lot of people bossed
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: up and did things on their own and put their
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: teams on and they're successful now based off of listening
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: to Cushion Orange Juice or that era, a lot of
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: people was like, Yo, I'm grab a camera or I'm
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: gonna start promoting shows, or I'm gonna start a clothing
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: line or I'm gonna start a blog or whatever whatever,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: and they're still like they're successful. So like that's what
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: kush norms used to is gonna do as well. It's
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: positive thinking. It ain't hunk, So it's gonna spark you
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: know a lot of bosses, a lot of young players
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: and a lot of women who boss up as well
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: and expect you know, the same from you know what
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: I mean. So it's just going to create a really
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: a really cool energy for people to creat And.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I want.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: You said, getting older, you're getting better at things. What
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: have you gotten better at?
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Uh? Physically, I've gotten better, decision making, I've gotten better,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: patience wise, I've gotten better, creatively, I've gotten better and
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: just as all around, like human being.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Like that's that's my main focus.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Like when I was younger, I was focused on being
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: the best artist or the best performer or the flyes nigga,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: like now I just care about being adope, being like
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: and being happy for that day. Like, that's all I
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: care about. As long as I'm happy at this moment
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: in this day, I'm good. And I try to live
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: every day like we'll not try to live every day.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I do live every day like that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Since you like, there are people that are younger than you,
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: just in music that I'm sure call you about different things,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: because creatively your music does inspire people like you mentioned,
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: but like, just as a dad and in a relationship,
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of your stuff is public. Like I saw
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: a conversation an interview where I think it was Ambert.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: She was talking about you guys had to sit down
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Sebastian have a conversation he found her only fans or
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: something like that. How do you guide first of all
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: yourself and have that conversation with your son, But when
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: your friends your peers are calling you like yo, my
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: girl's doing this online or like whatever, what's your conversation
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: with people? Because you handle things so well and so gracefully.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Nah, I think I don't. I don't expect everybody to
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: handle things the way that I do. So my advice
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: is sometimes is like man, shit be.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Fucked up dog like, that's it. That's just how it is.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: But you have to accept it and you have to
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: understand that that's a part of it as well. And
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: it be like that sometimes. But we make these decisions
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: based off of what we think we can handle and
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: what we can't handle. So or you're given a lot
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: of responsibility based off of what you can handle and
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: you don't even know you ready for it like that.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: So if you really want this, you're gonna deal with
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: the good.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: And the bad. Like I'm built for it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I know how to smile, I know how to you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: put on a face in front of people who I
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: know might have talked shit on me or tried to
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: cut my throat or one up on you know what
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: But it is what it is.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't get no further by exposing all of that.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I get further just by being me. But a lot
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: of people ain't built for it like that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: So you know, you really you really got to be
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: like that as a parent, Are you ever really ready
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: to have those like really public conversations with us, Like
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: that's such a public thing to have to talk about
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: in your child to see, and then in private you
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: have to deal with it. But then also in public,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: you have to deal with it because then y'all talk
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: about the fact that it happened.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I think, like.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Me, I just keep it pushing, like as long as
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: I'm good, Like in the household, you're gonna have to
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: deal with that or things like that, regardless if it's
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: not even directly involved with you. You're still gonna have
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to have some type of conversation like that with your kid.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: And it's not easy for anybody. So as soon as
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: they start finding that stuff or looking at that stuff
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: or hearing things about you know, it might be their parent,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: it might be their sibling, it might be you know
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: what I mean, it could be whatever.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: There's no age limit to that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Either it happens through their teens, it's gonna happen in
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: their twenties.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Oh I heard your son is out here. Da da
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: da da da. Right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what that's like yet, But we
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: go through the stages. Every parent's gonna go through the stage.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: But as far as publicly, I don't live my life
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: for the public, so I don't even like, I don't
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: even consider that when I'm making my moves.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I don't care like I don't hear it, I don't
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: digest it. It's not it ain't real to me.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: And if it pops up, then it's something that I
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, I'll deal with it in
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: the moment, but like I ain't tripping on.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: None of that.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Are you going to keep secrets from your kids?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: What kind of secrets? Just in general?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Like you know, always tell people that you know, you
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: should always have conversations with your parents because you'll find
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: out that they had a life before they were your parents.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think having how old are your kids?
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Sixteen nine sixty three.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, having a twelve year old, it's like I'm finding
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: out that they know way more than.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: You actually think that they know.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: So it's hard to keep secrets when they're telling you
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: shit that they know that you thought that they didn't know.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: So it's like, damn you, there ain't no secrets, like
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: for real, for real you I'm I didn't even know
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I was going to have to explain that to you.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: But it's just part of it, like because I think
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: the benefit of that is them not having to hear
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: it from somebody else. I was raised by my cousins,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: and you know what, I mean a bunch of eighteen
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: year olds and twenty year olds when I was his age,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: so I was learning things a little bit differently, Like
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: the filter was totally different. So I would rather be
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: able to give my kids.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: That knowledge than like the streets. Yeah, hell yeah, because
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: What is a drake move with?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: What's what's a drake? A very smart business decision? I know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: that's right, That's what a drake move is.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: You know what I want to ask you to, man,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: You've been a mentor to a lot of great people.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And I recently saw this thing called the Mount Rushmore
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: White rappers and the good brother mac Miller was on it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: You know how.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw it, but how did
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: that make you feel? Knowing that you was a mentor
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: to He's the greatest rapper was Eminem, it was mac Miller.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't be separating white rappers and black rappers. They're
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: all rappers.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: And mc miller is an amazing artist, bro, Like I
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: watched some you know, come from just being a kid
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: in the studio to like really changing how people digest
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: and listen to music, like on his own And of
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: course we started he started like kind of after I
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: was doing what I was doing, so it was people
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: associated me and him together like like.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I was doing that for him or something like that.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: But he was just inspired by what he was around,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and as soon as he like branched off and started
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: doing his thing, he gained his own identity, his own
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: fan base, his own expectations of what his music is,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: and his own you know, love and legacy for what
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: his music is.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: So I love I love that kid.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if this is a question you
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: can answer, But what are you and Mac? What do
• 37:37

  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people like big on a street level,
• 37:48

• 40:40
  Speaker 3: them to go through too.

  Speaker 2: The thing I like about you Will is like you
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I've never seen you do no goofy shit fifteen years
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: and that's hard being an artist of your caliber, how
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: do you keep from doing goofy?
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: And of your age too.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: You were young, I think, being from Pigs, got done

  Speaker 3: like I didn't need to, you know, get to my
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: twenties and you know, learn.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Those same lessons.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: I was on some bars shit, and everybody around me
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: you gotta be on my boss level or like we
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: can't communicate. And that was the main thing, is like,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: you know, not only elevating my mind, but elevating the
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: minds of the people around me, and just taking it
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: to the next level and continuing to take it to
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: the next level.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Because I could have.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Got to a point where I was satisfied, but I
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: was like, now I'm gonna keep working, I'm gonna keep going,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: and even at this point, now I see things that
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: people don't even see for myself. So these are the
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: things that I'm going after while I'm doing what I'm doing.
