  Speaker 1: do you like more doing now? You like being in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: front of the camera? You still like making music more?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Because I mean you was in the industry when the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: industry was good, like like really good? Like is it's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: still fun? Um? I think making music is still fun.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the business is bullsh half the time,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, doing music, it ain't. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: think I will always do it, regardless whether I was
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: making money on it or not. But will it be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: put out? That's something different. But I think the release
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is good, you know what I'm saying. To get in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and create, I think that's always good. You're no, no,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: no no, no, I fulfilled all that, you know what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I mean? Universal for ever because it was else. Yeah,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying forever. So you know it's all great,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you know, family, No hard feelers, no nothing fulfilled the obligation. UM.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: We talked about doing that, but I wanted to take
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: time back because the way the game is, it didn't
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know. I want to do what makes sense for me. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like this makes more sense for me. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: mean that the situation that you're in with social media,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you got your own marketing, you got your own you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: situation as far as being able to, um, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: let people know what you got going on. And I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got great outlets as far as television and things like that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm gonna cut down on some overhead,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and it don't make sense. I was gonna say, you're
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: gonna miss some of that that label, spending a lot
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of that money that you had to come out to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: pocket for. Yeah, but for what getting charged for. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was getting overcharged. I didn't do it to the Cold Crush,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: but they was hitting me right. You know what I'm saying.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Now doing your show, Nellieville, I'm sure you had to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be very cautious about what you put out there. We
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: had manner up here the other day, and he was saying,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to see those artists that you look
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: up to and really admired on television because you're like, wow,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that's what they're like, you know, in real life, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they want to create this type of mystique, you know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: For you, m said, they look corny on TV. Sometimes,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that's what he said, He said, you look. You were
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just saying sometimes in general, you know, you do a show,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: because he was going to do a show right um,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and he was saying, it's just difficult because sometimes you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: see your favorite artists and you liked, that's what they
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: act like. So for you, how cautious were you about
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: what you wanted to put out there? Well? I think
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: for me, the whole basis of our show was to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: show this side. But it didn't It didn't matter if
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you knew this side of me. It's not a change,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm raising my kids
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, and and letting you into letting you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: know that Nellie, just don't party every damn night, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this is what goals on. And I'm trying to, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: bring decent human beings into society, you know what I mean.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So that didn't matter. Now if it was you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a different type of scenario. Let's say, you know, all
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of love and hip hop or something to that nature,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: then that's that's something different. Not that I'm knocking it,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: because it's been great outlets for certain people, you know
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But for me, I just wanted to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: show something that wasn't out there. Single father and hip hop,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you know, doing what he's supposed to be doing. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we get so much negativity and like we're not there.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That half of the brothers
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I know there's in the hip hop or you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they love being a father, you know what I'm saying,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to take pride in it. So I thought that should
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: be shown. That's what I like about it, because you're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: not you're showing that it's cool to be grown raiding
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: my kids and rating my nephew. And because we got
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that type of scenario. No again, like we always talking about,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we'd only generation where we share so much with our kids,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I never did this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: much with my father, not that well because partially he
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't there. But what I'm saying, but the other reason,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we just didn't do that, you know what I'm saying.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Like me and my son, you know, we rocked the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: same clothes, same shoes, listen to the same music, watch
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the same shows. Like you know, we have the same
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: interest and that I don't think that happened in any
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: other generations, Like it's happening with our Yeah, well yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I like you know those consequences if you up, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he can get a shot at it. I was having
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: this conversation with somebody only that's a good thing or
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a bad thing that we so I got similar, Like
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the generations aren't too far apart, you know. I think
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing because you cut through
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all the bullsh you know what I'm saying. You get
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to the reality of what life is and you move
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on and it's not a it's not a it's not
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: so much hypocritical, you know what I mean. Like we
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: went through a lot of our parents. You know, once
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you got older, he was like, man, y'all used to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And now it's just like, hey, hey,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: don't you know, Jill Big you're gonna get up. I'm
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: telling you, you know what I'm saying, Like that's not
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the move, you know, other than just get wow. But
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: pile still works, you know, so good Now, I sell,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you've been supporting a lot of artists from Saint Louis
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: as well. I sell. You were out there filming videos,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you were working with Tiffany Foxes from Saint Louis. Yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Tiffany's from Saint Louis, from New York somewhere. Oh no,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: well you know her, she got a great relationship with
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Loui Kim, right, That's why I thought that because of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: her relationship. A little kid had a great relationship with Kim.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, she's definitely, Uh, I tell your funny stuff.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You go look at the Country Grammar video. Tiffany's in it. Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: From from the very very beginning, y'all known each other
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for a minute. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, she's been trying to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know, working out thing for a minute. And it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: good for her to finally get us stuff going. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, getting that chance to rock.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So she's dope. And then I tell you commenting on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: BT and Cut because they psyched us all out and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: told us BT and Cut was coming back, and you're like, man,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what is this? But I'm sure you knew all alone.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: They wasn't bringing it back being your relationship with BT
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that they were punking us. Yeah, did you watch no?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Because I figured that World store every day, I'm like,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: what could bet Uncut show? I won't working this day
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and age? I don't think. I thought it was a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: good prank though, to bring punk back. I thought it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was a good story for plump. Do you know what?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And if you look at Uncut now, it's it's harmless.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Now when you look at you know what I'm saying,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: if you go back on World Start now you look
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: at that on that that's straight porn girl getting paid
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on you know what, I'm heart attack. It's like one
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: credit card and heart attack. But it's interesting because when
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: we had Uncle Luke up here, he was talking about
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know himself back then and how they wouldn't even
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: let his record be in stores. People were getting arrested
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: just for selling him because they had a throng on
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: on the cover or just the content. They said. The
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: content changes, times change. Sometimes you got to be the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: person that it's out there on the cross. Yes, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: still have my percentages, you know what I'm saying. You know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you move on and get other things going on. So
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely working on new apparel and everything like that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So you know, again, man, you know, life has been
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: good for me. I can't complain. You're talking about sixteen
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: years later. You know, if you could be sixteen years
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and anything, you know, that's that's what you want to do. Man,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: A piece of the hornets. Yeah, man, we still have that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna come to the game whatever. I'm
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: gonna come as soon as I get some time. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: sad they say you're doing a country album. No no, no, no, no.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I think that got you know, so I don't know
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: where that get. Screw that, but you know, don't get
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it twisted. You know, I'm a very, very very much
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a fan of all music, country music, no doubt. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm like the only hip hop artist to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: be able to get number one hits on pop, country,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: hip hop, on be rhythmic and all of them. You know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: damn they're everything across the board. So people have appreciated
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: things that I do. I would never say I'm doing
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a country I'm gonna have a fine respect for country music.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But what I do want to do is do maybe
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: EP or album that transcends all formats that say to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: be played on, all formats that go across the board,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and including country, including you know, including hip hop, including everything.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: So um, you know, it may feature some country artists
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: some things that nature, but it's not a country album
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: no way. Shape Before somebody asked you if you should
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: do one, and I said, why not? That said hip
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: hop fans are so fickle. Well, you know what I mean,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: why why not do it? Because I think I think
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I think then the country fans get kind of twisted.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. I think when you try
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to force feed, force feed audience that that is true
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to the heart. I mean sometimes I don't always go
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the way that you want to do it. That's like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Golf Brooks jumping off, I'm about to do a rap
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: album because he because he has successful. I had success,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: we had success. Now he think he's going to do
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and being some you know what I'm saying, And you like, okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So they wouldn't brace you. It'd be calling you a perpetrator,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: like are you friend? You don't? Yeah? Yeah. I think
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to come for him like that. But
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I think if you let them gravitate to the music
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and you let the music speak for themselves and everybody
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: voice counts absolutely. Now we were up here, we saw
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the stories of you getting arrested and then the charges
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: getting Yeah, you know, for you having meth on the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: bus or something like that. How do you go home
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and explain that to the kids, though, like you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it wasn't on the bus. Let me tell you something, man,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something, everybody, there's no way shaping hell.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I have meth on my bus first, first and foremost.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Then today I'm like na, man, Um, we had a party,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it was after a show, and you know, the responsibility
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: on my factor that I step up is like I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: tried to tell my kids, I left up because I'm
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: responsible for that bus. That's my bus. That bus is
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in my name. Therefore, if anything happens, guess who they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the name falls, you know what I mean. So in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that situation, um, it's my bus. You know what I'm saying.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: But once we went and everybody everything was out, then
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: there was no way that they could do that. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: get my guns back everything. You know, I don't have
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: illegal guns. You always riding around the legal gun. No,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I have a gun permit. I have a license that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: say I can carry and conceal in thirty three states.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. I'm not running around here
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: like a felony with drugs and guns. You know what
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. My guns are strictly for defense, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: going down down, you know. So, I mean, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it was a situation that, um, you know, I wish
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I had to putting myself in, but I did. And again,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it's not about the mistakes that you make. It's about
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: how you own up to him. And that's what I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: try to show my kids, Like, Yo, we were not perfect,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: but we can be perfect in our approach and taking responsibility.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So did you scream on your team like mother because
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: y'all cannot have meth on the damn bus? I screamed
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: on them. They're like, Yo, ain't none of you gonna
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: raise your hand? No, nobody's planing that. No. Yeah, you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's let's see, that's that's that's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: really why I'm pissed. That's really why I got here.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It's just because see this, you know. But you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: t man, we were having them fun man blast. The
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: show was crazy, you know, what I'm saying. You know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: at this one time, everybody like twenty thousand people out
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of here. You know, police is right outside. I didn't
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: know them, They wouldn't know their job. Do you ever
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: feel the need to prove the people that you still
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: are doing your thing out there? Are you still selling
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: our shows? You're still making money? No? No, not well,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: not to those that that don't want me to be
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: doing that. You know, you can't prove anything to people
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that don't want to see the obvious. You know what
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like it's obvious. It's in your face. With
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: social media or whatever artists is doing, it's in your face.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You don't there's no way you can't not know. If
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you don't want to know, if you don't want to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: see something, you don't have to see it. But there's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: no way you can't see it. I just think, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it just is what it is. My fans, they see it,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they support it, and the other mutherthers, I mean, you
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: know they're gonna be there anyway, and nothing I canna
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: do about it because I don't feel like it's people
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: showing people how to have longevity. Now, I don't. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: don't think this generation is built for longevity. Nope, they're
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: not built for it as a fan. They're not built
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: for it as an artist. You know what I'm saying,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Everything is the now, it's to burn out. You know
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's to go hard now, go hard now.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And then it's the same way. Um. On the other end,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: as a fan, go hard, go hard. You know what
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, turn out. Eventually you had to turn down,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you know, so that turned down them all. How is
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it for your kids now being celebrities, being on TV,
• 13:34

  Speaker 1: something more. It's it's it's a female thing, you know
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. As a kid, we don't. We never

• 16:24
  Speaker 1: trash man or a police officer when you like, you know, man,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know, when you're trash man hanging
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: off the truck, that looked like a great job. You
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You know, I thought it was

  Speaker 1: a good job. Like look at him. Man, you get
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the hang on the back of a truck and he

• 18:05
  Speaker 1: She said, I knew it. Man, he wasn't. Hey, man,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: don't try to get me involved. A week before he

• 18:28
  Speaker 1: even if I got a good idea, keep it to myself.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: At least we're designing uniforms or something. Yeah, well, yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we do do that, you know what I'm saying. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: helped UM do some things for like um, what we
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: call the honey the honey bees and things like that
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: for the cheerleaders in the dance squads and stuff like that,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: especially when we're doing through apple bottoms and stuff. But
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: as far as the uniforms, not yet. Um. You know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Mike is an interesting guy. He's a very very interesting guy.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's like a certain people, how
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: do you talk to them? And like and a lot
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of mikes Michael Jackson, how would you talk to him?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: How would you Michael Jordan? How do you talk to him?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, I mean, other than cool,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: like that's my uncle. But as far as telling him
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: about something that he was the epitome of, it's kind
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of like, how do you do it? I could never
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: talk to Elle Elle about hip hop? Like you know
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying about, yo, you know, I could tell
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: him what works for me, but I don't know. But
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a new era. Or you could talk
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to you. I can't. I can't tell exactly because it's like, yo,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you know, without him, I wouldn't be Yeah, it was.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It was a small comparison quick too, it's like no, no,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: don't do that, don't do that. I did have that
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: pleasure of doing that tribute bh one the hip hop
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like that was one of the highlights so much. And
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something though he was he was
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: filed on that too, which was fouled. Uncle was fouled.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Ell was filed like you know we was doing and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I'm backstage right and I'm about ready to go on.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I never get nervous, never nervous. I got my troop
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: outfit on. I just I just bought the duke, he
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: wrote from kwamein. He coming back my duke, he wrote,
• 20:09

  Speaker 1: He gives it to me. I'm about ready to go out.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: L comes in, YO, make me look good. Baby. What
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm like, oh, you know what I'm saying, like, oh,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that was wrong, that was wrong. Head trying to zone out.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm trying to zone.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get right. I'm trying to hit my points.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: And here he comes with that. I was like, that
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: was real file man. But he's a Yo. He's unbelievable.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: He's always been very very supportive and what I've done
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and what I've been able to do with my career.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, he's he's been dope. Did you buy the truth? No? No, no, no,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I licensed it. I licensed it um but then the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: person who I licensed it from he was nuts, you
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So you know, I'm trying to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: work that back out because I definitely think it's a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: market for right now. What do you think of the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: recent rap beef we had between drink and meat because
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you was involved at your own rap skirmish with kres
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: At once that that was just a hey, how you
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: doing cool bow with me? You know what I'm saying?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You threw shot? That was like gutting hurt of No, no no,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: he threw I returned surf And everybody's like, no, you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: ain't supposed to reply back because you're not real hip
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: hop whatever exactly. And I'm like, are you kidding me?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I got kids? How do I wake up and tell
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: my boys? Let a man smack you in the face
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and you ain't gonna say nothing? You know what I'm saying?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Whether I was was was was in the right or
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the wrong? You know what I'm saying. I just felt
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like it was a defensive. But the thing about him
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: is I was hurt when he did that. I mean,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: how do you not love Kriss one? You know this
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: love is gonna get you? Yeah? What did I do?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You know? This is why dot Dot ain't you know
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying like this is especially in the loop.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You know, those songs were so influential with what we do.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But um, we had a chance to talk, we did
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the um what was what was the self destruction tool?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Like we did. We had a chance to work with that,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: had a chance to rock out together in Atlanta, and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you know that whole thing was you know, I guess
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: he was doing him but we didn't have that in
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the social media era. That's why that's now, that's it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: just out of hand. So, um, I don't know, man,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think it was very very
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: interesting for about two weeks. It was you know what
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like it was on fire for two weeks.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And that's what I was saying too, Like look how
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: fast that came and went to the peak of it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: That had that been like in the nineties of the eighties,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you know that two packing Biggie went on for you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on a on a whole other level. But two weeks
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: is a long time now. But that's because it gets
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: so oversaturated everywhere yet a lot of Instagram. They got
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: a lot done, But I don't think like for me,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: there was like yo, you know, me. I I don't
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: think it's a question of who's over or nothing like that,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: because I don't think it's any fans of meat that's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: not going to continue to support me, you know what
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I don't think it's any device versa.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: The other way, what I do think is that maybe
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like to get to another
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: level of the game. Sometimes you know in businesses say yo,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you would have been a partner by now if you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: would have learned how to play by the rules. You
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, when you get to a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: certain level, it's just certain things that you accept, and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that may be how you make hit records, not how
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you make hit rap records, you know what I'm saying.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So a lot of times when you're making hit records,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that's been in this game four
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: or five records deep that it had six, seven, eight
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: number ones that haven't took references or some type of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: influence from from from somewhere else. I mean, now, when
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: you're talking about rap records, that's something different, because yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of course you know you're doing rap records, you're gonna
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: do that. But if you're doing hit records, yo. You
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: know have you done that taking references? Yeah? I mean,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: how could you not. I've worked with producers like Ll.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You work with JD. You're working with producers like that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of times they come in with
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: those are producers. They just ain't giving you beats. You
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You go in and work with Pharrell.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Farrell's right, No, no, no, no, no no, no, no, you
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: gotta do it. You're gonna break the vibe. Mo, You're
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: gonna kill the vibe. You gotta You're just like, Okay,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: that's how you dan to the studio where you were from. No,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that's how he get down. But there were some there
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: were some that that you could have taken that ended
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: up going to other people too, And that happens and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: all the time. Okay, that was never my record. I
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: never heard that record. Okay. The rumor was that they
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: had gave that record to you. You turn it down,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and then Floor Reddy took it and didn't even change
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the apple bottom part and just kept it. Nah. We
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: never heard that record, never ever. Um. But when we
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: did heard it, I thought it was me. Damn, I'm jamming.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: When did I make sum you know, things work out
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: for this crazy and I told to us about Saint
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Louis a little bit, because yeah, it's going down. When
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that incident first happened, I mean you were and you
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: were up. I think everybody called. I mean everybody was
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: DM me. I think I called you one time to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: speak to us. What's going what? It looks like a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: lot of frustration, you know what I'm saying all over again,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and you're dealing with First of all, you know, Saint Louis,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: we're not multicultural like a New York City and things
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of that nature. Like even when you guys have your problems,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a different type of plan
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of action, so to speak, because you know, you're a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: little bit more organized up here as supposed to the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: way things go. You still have frustrations, people still lash out,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: But in Saint Louis, you know, we're very very still
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: black and white, you know, and we have been for
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a very long time. Like I don't even know a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: school up here. That's just one way, you know, you
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: go down to Saint Louis, it's it's schools down to
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the just black schools down there, just white you know
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And you know they still haven't that
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: that type of struggle. So when something like this happens,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to be heard when you're living
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: in situations like Ferguson or you're living in the city
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: or North Saint Louis and things of that nature. So
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: when things come to a head, you know, you get
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: these type of explosions. Um, what we want to do
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is try to walk that thin line and say, Yo,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I understand the frustrations, but you also got to understand,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: like yo, to accomplish this. This is what this is
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: gonna take. It's gonna take us understanding what the problem is.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: A plan of action. We don't plan. We have no plan,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. And with happen with not
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: having no plan, then you just do whatever. You know
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like going into a huddle and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a football and nobody knows the play and you go
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: break and everybody just go to the line and then
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it's like, yo, what we're running or we're passing? And
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that's where we're at right now, you know what I mean, Like,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: we have no no, no, no plan of action. And
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: when you don't have that people just do whatever. And
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: that's what's going on right now, and it's a lot
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of frustration, but I'm trying to We're trying to get
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: people to understand. It's like, Yo, you know, the only
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: way we're gonna be able to do this is through education.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Only way we're gonna be able to do this is
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: recognizing what the problem is and getting the people from
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: those communities to go on to higher education then come
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: back and run these communities because they know the people.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: And that's just our plan of you know how we
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: plan on fixing it. But it's not an overnight thing. Man,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It's not an overnight thing. My biggest fear, excuse my
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: biggest fear is ten years from now, we still ain't
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: have no plan. That's my biggest fear. And that's what
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that's what makes it nervous right now. It's like, Yo,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I get it. We're yelling, you know what I'm saying.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: We're doing what it is, but I just don't want
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: ten years from now we're still in the same place.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And it's funny because you said this exact same thing
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: when when it first happened with Michael Brown, and everybody
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: jumped on your throat and gave you fleck. What you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: were saying was we need to play, we need to plan,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: because I even feel like even a year later, it
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: seems like, first of all, the way the media portrays it,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you would think it's chaotic, inness right right right. You know,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you look on the news, look like Iraq, you can't
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: go nowhere. People scare you know, you get on a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: you go anywhere, it's like, what are you going to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis? Oh my god? Is it okay? Like yeah,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I mean that's wait, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's not as if they make it look
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: on TV at all. You know, had there been any
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: changes in the police department in that area? Um for
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: my understanding, I mean yeah, small, But again, it's not
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: just the police department. It's it's it's all of it.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: It's the prosecutor, it's the mayor's the city council, it's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: everybody in that situation. Because that organization is what's running
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that part of town. Now you have to get in
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: there and change that organization and get different systems in place, though,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: so where people aren't feeling so harassed and they feel like, yo,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: this is home as opposed that they being trapped. It
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: needs to be a reflection of the residents too. I
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: would think, yeah, yeah, definitely has to be. Well that's
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: anywhere though. When you don't have that, what are you
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: gonna get? You know what I'm saying? You same thing
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: like say South Africa. You know what I'm saying. You
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: look at these white folks running all these brothers and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: use what else are you gonna get? You know, it
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: gets crazy. Real Husband's Hollywood changed your situation roll. Kevin's
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a funny guy. Kevin's a real funny guy. You know,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Real Husband's Hollywood. We started back up when I think, um,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: let's come out yeah this week, but we already filmed it. Man,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: That's what I don't understand. We should I say that

• 29:27
  Speaker 1: saw Charlotte Mane the other day. He did. You know what,

• 29:36
  Speaker 1: our own situations. Man. You know what I'm saying. That
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: was a I think that I love Robin as an artist.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: He's a cool dude. But truth be told, you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Robin is the reason he's not on Real Husband's in Hollywood.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, that that's something he wanted
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to do, he would he would still be there, or
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: if he took it as seriously as we did. You
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, as we are, he would still
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: be there, you know what I mean. But he needed
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: now I'm not I'm not saying that he won't be
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: there because Yo, dudes, he's a great guy. You know
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I mean, that's just the truth,
• 30:03
