• 9:55
  Speaker 5: But I be seeing it. I be seeing the future.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I'll be seeing the vision. But a lot of people don't.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of people be like I used to get
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: people like why why the fuck you in the studio?
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Like I would get around that time.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: It would be people that are popping in Miami, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: they'd be like you in Miami and I'm like yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: and they'd be like pull up to my session.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, nah, I can't. I got a session with

• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I ain't gonna say no names. But and they they
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: was a group and they was popping. So when I

  Speaker 5: go to the studio with Sexy Red lock and get
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: it done, everybody like, why, why the fuck you ain't
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: skip that to go to that, and now I look
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: at life and I'd be like, man, I'm glad I
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: make sound decisions.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Bro, bro, And that's real shit.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And that's what we talk about all the time here
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: is like when you networking and you working, it's really
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: about the people around you and below you. Because the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: people above you, it's very rare you get to catch them.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: But the next wave of people is always your peer
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: group and the people coming up. So you always want
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: to take care of the people around you because they'm
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: gonna be the people that you're dealing with.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: It just like on some school shit.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you might not fuck with this dude in the school,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: he might be weird whatever, but you got decent relationship
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: because you go up, he gonna be the motherfucker owner
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: of that business you're gonna have to have a relationship with.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: You never gonna catch him. Executive Lee or Korn ain't
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: never gonna come down to our level. But the next
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: level of people you showing love shit Like you said
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: that back, favorite pocket, bra.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: I love the way you think my whole career, Like
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: when I think about who I am today, my whole
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: career was built off people that nobody gave a fuck
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: about and I had to sit there and like when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: I this is my number one thing. I got a
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: partner that did a song for Drake right, and I
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: got more partners that did songs for like Nicki Minaj.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: And when they get the flexing on me, they be
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: They always compare us who got the most hits? You
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: were him, you were him? You and him who the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: most influential producer? And I always look niggas in their
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: eyes and I'd be like, you know, y'all really don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: count because y'all accidentally got a Drake placement. I made
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Drakes were different, and I was fucking with niggas below me,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: and they got diamond songs, Like.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Fuck with you talking about y'all got niggas who.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Had diamond songs already, they was gonna continue being diamond.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: I made niggas who was dirt diamond and they still
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: going Dimond and I dine made a couple of them.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Because when you plan down here, you can make a couple.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: But if you study shooting for Beyonce, jay Z, Drake Man,
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: you might have two songs that you get out of them,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: because you know that's just how the world worked.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: But I always tell young producers.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Man, y'all niggas need to play down here, man, Like
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be another one and it's easier to get
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: to them.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: So I like the way you think.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Man, you talked about you know what I'm saying, going
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: crazy with you know what I'm saying, one of your
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: biggest records.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: How did that come to fruition?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Because I know you produced, but what made you kind
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of step out of like, nah, this's gonna be mine.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I've always been an artist since I was a kid.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I was rapping, but somewhere down the line, I had
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: an A and R convinced me to write songs and
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: he was just like, bro, what do you care about?
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: You care about? You want to be famous? Do you
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: want the money? And at the time when you broke
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: it used to hurt to know, like, man, I I
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: wrote this and that nigga shining and nobody knows I
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: did that shit and.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I'm I got to check I got a plaque.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: But he convinced me successfully to worry about the money
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: and I started making money. But when I got to
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: like when I seen my first m it was like, Okay,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: this is God telling me that I've done my job.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: And I need to figure out how to make sure
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: people don't forget that I'm talented as well. So that's
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: how I ended up getting my first hit. I had
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: spent like man that it was crazy. I had my
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: niece and my girl. We was sitting in a in
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: in my little house at the time, and I used
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: to make them get on TikTok and we would like
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: we were broker TikTok.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Videos all day.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: We would literally send messages get little kids to do
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: videos for thirty to forty dollars, and we did that
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: for like three weeks and blew the song up. I
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: probably spent like eight bands. Everybody think I spent the
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: world of money. I spent the world of money on
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: keeping it going, But the initial impact of blowing that
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: record up, I probably spend like a bans And that's
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: crazy because people don't understand investing in yourself don't always
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: mean spend it a shit ton of money, maybe a
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: shit ton of time, because shit, we don't know shit
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: about the TikTok. I know what it is you're on
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: there and stuff, But in that time period youre talking
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: about twenty nineteen twenty twenty, you was early in the
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: landscape and who knew that the world was about to
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: shut the fuck down. So it's like you getting stocked
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: in a company that shot the fuck up. You just
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: have to put your product in it. But then also,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: like you said, you had to spend money in your records.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: People don't understand. You do not get those billboard placements.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: You do not get those radio spends off your song just
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: being good.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Hell no, no, you you got to drop the bag.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: And I tell people even one that's better if you
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: actually do it yourself, it'll be more cost effective.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Times people, I mean, every every nigga with money can
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: attest to this. There's a lot of times you can
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: hand somebody some money, but you realize that they don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: give a fuck about your money. So they don't wake
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: up every day and theme for making that shit back.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: They don't. It's not no desire to make your money
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: make money.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: But when you're doing it yourself, you're gonna lose sleep
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: until you get that bag back. So I mean, at
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: that time, it just checked out, And when it did,
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: it was so crazy because my little niece ain't never,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: you know, she ain't ever.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: She don't even know what money looked like me. But
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: she's like thirteen at the time.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: As soon as it went uh when it went gold
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: or broke off, and she was just like she was
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: like as a kid.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of red type shit.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: What you enjoyed more performing or making a record?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: I like performing because I want to be more. The
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: reason why my name is DJ Chose because I feel
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: like God shows me. And when I look at music,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: I think of influence and power. So I know as
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: a songwriter, I'm effective because I can like see a
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: message through the airways. But I like when I can
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: actually influence the world because I feel like I got
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: good intentions and I feel like it's a lot of
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: people that influenced the world and they got so much power,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: but man, they don't give a funk about the next person.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I do you feel me?
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Every night after I perform, I go to the merch table,
• 16:11

• 17:30
  Speaker 2: trying to clean up. I'm trying to clean up my image.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: I missed so much money with having a song that
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: having videos they do like fifty two million, one hundred
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: million views and shit, and I can't make money because
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: it's unmonetizable.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: YouTube got us.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm learning my life and I'm now where
• 17:46

  Speaker 5: y'all aint gonna win.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: On clubs obviously, hdown and Florence Man the screw type
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: eras like that type of music heavy Indianapolis crazy because
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: we fuck with that type of music, those type of
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: mixt types. You think mixed type eras could ever be
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: like that again with the way that they do, like
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: regulations for is monetizer for music.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Nah, I don't think we should either, real, I don't
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: think I don't think that, like because right now the
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: world is like a mixtape if you look at how
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: much music.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Come out and I don't know why, but we can't
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: keep up with it, Like hell, do you feel like, let's.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Be honest, y'all, remember when we used to consume music
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: as kids, Like we literally used to consume music week
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: for week, and we still love the people we consume
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: right now, I swear it's like only room for one.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: You get a Sexy Red or like when Sexy Red came,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: she replaced somebody I don't.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Care when nobody.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: And I didn't say that, you did, Okay, So if
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: that's how y'all feel, and the neck goes.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: As a playable character of the nigga got a Golilla
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: moskin in two k's out of pocket.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But now he was saying, so we.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Don't have a capacity right now to consumers like much music.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: But when we was kids, I'm sorry if it fucking
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Lil Wayne, Comellionaire, Mike, whoever that anybody liked, if they
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: dropped pow wah whatever, we would consume all their music,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: and we would never we would have comparison conversations.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But you loved who you love it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: You weren't changing who you was fucking with just because
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: they ain't put out no music in a week.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we would play.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Them two months. Yeah, play a Lil Wayne now, my.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Mama, I played dedication to yesterday. I play I play nothing, nothing,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: consume a lot of music like twenty twelve.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I'll stay up today with ship bro. I don't take
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: that I agree with what you're saying as a whole
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: world or goddamn it away. Yeah, absolutely, mic Awave, But
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I say tapped in with everybody.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why I'm saying what I'm saying.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I feel like, back then this is the trick, y'all.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Back then you could market yourself without an algorithm. So
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: so when you can come out the trunk or if
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: let's just say a nigga had a show at a concert,
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: let's just say Kevin Gates boom, he just had his concert.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Let's say we in the world of CDs, Kevin Gates
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: can reach his audience every day if he wanted to,
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: if he just wanted to go on tour and out
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: the trunk sell CDs right now, you can't give a
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: motherfucker nothing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: You couldn't.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I couldn't give him a fucker coupon for a new car.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: They would literally be like thank you and drop it
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: wouldn't know what it was.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: So I think now that we.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Depending on algorithms and things like that. It's not that
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: people don't stay up with things. It's just like if
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: sexy Read is running things, then sometimes it's hard to
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: see gloiala like you would say. So I think technically
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: it's about if whoever is man handling the moment, that's
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: who's important.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Like Drake is man handling the moment. Y'all know what
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: made me say, damn, Drake this.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Y'all want to know what made me forget about Drake's
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: album and Drake's tour when Kevin Gates spinning that bit
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: mouth ill like, damn, I don't care about the Drake
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: album right now. All I care about is Kevin Gates
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: spitting this some one's mouth.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: You was obviously on tour with Bro. Did you see
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that library? Did you see afterwards?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: That's all live? I was actually the crap I wasn't.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Was because wass man, y'all gotta understand, Gates is my dog.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: A lot of people are scared to talk about him
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: in podcasts and stuff.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: We really like this, so I don't care about speaking
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: on things.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: When I think of Gates, I think I don't think
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: what people think. A lot of people are gonna turn
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: it into some different shiit.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Like ah, he demonic he is he did.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I don't see it that way. I just see it
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: as someone who understands. He understands when when you know
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: what the world is on, he get it. I just
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: feel like some people get it, some people don't. And
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: if I had that kind of power, I wouldn't have
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: did it how he did it. I like how he
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: doing it now when he doing the Champagne and he's
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: spending their mouth. See the first day, I feel like
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: all of our show was kind of like we was.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: We were just having a good time. We was doing
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: our we what we planning to do. But I and
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I we nobody knew nothing about this. I ain't gonna
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: lie that I never knew nothing by that. That ain't
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, Like the way I play my show, that's
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: how I went that day. However, his show was, That's
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: how it went for me. The second day, I dockted
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: my show a little bit. I'm not saying he playing
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: that at all, But what I will say is that
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: the second show, I like, how you doing it now
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: where he ship to Champagne and he you know what
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, And that's just really for me. That's what
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: I call, like I want to say, like power and influence,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: like when you know these fans look, or when you
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: know someone loves you that much and you can give
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: them that kind of experience.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: These the same women that want to want to kiss him.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: But he was the first nigga too that really made
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: eat booty cool publicly when he said that ship, the
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: internet wouldn't up and up and I ain't.

• 24:03
  Speaker 6: but the internet just so crazy now.
• 24:06

  Speaker 5: Like when I meet good producers from back in the
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: days like Jazzy Fadh, they be just livid.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: They'd be like they used to make beats with they body.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: They didn't just make a beat, they used to feel
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: it first and then they and then now like these
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: internet niggas, they think about it, they click it in,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: they delete it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: They don't make music with they.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: You feel me sometimes if you hit like a top

  Speaker 5: that sounds super soulful. I was making a beat with
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: my body.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Bro he did me. Yeah, shit like that. I'm really
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in that, bitch.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: I feel like music is a feeling, and I like
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: the older guys who used to have that feeling. Like
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: right now, so many songs just feel the same way
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: that they're not trying to explore new feelings.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: You feel me, but that ain't no knocks right now.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I love what we're doing right now too.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I got a question for you, who's more artist or
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: what was a group of people that if you had
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: your dream list of people you can produce a song for,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: who would it be?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Drake first? I would love to work with Drake Drizzy
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: for show good.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: Placement, man, I'm actually happy with my current list. Like
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't change Kevin Gates for nobody. I wouldn't change
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: Fred Obang for nobody. I wouldn't change Megan A. Stallion
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: for nobody, like NBA Young Boy for nobody. When I
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: look at my life in ten years, they gonna say
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: I worked with Tupacatis generation, Like when you really look
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: at life between Kevin Gates, Young Boy and Megan, I
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: didn't already did everything I needed to do.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: That's a real trip or crowd, I got it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Hold on, I don't mean to cut you off. Did
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: you work with NBA Young Boy in the studio or
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: you just send them the record?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I've been with you know what. I did work with
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: NBA Young Boy in the studio, but no Smoke was
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: not in the studio. But I did the whole fair
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Babies with money Bag, young and Young Boy. I was
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: in the studio and you know them too, like fell out,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: but I was in the studio like two days before
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: they fell out. Like but that whole week we was
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: in the studio, And these are moments you can't get back.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: And I forgot. I got records week money back, that's gold,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: and I never speak on them. I'll be forgetting. But
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: ship like that like that, I can't I can't make
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: that was a tough flex, Bros. But I really can't
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: make up.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Like when I say, when you catch these were people
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: that at the time was just like they just they
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: were just getting like five ten K show you feel me?
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: But when I look at what I didn't done off
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: early things. Man, I don't even It's like the people
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: that I missed it be like, man, you just y'all
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: like all on the separate size of the tracks, y'all
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: not like different like maybe Beyonce or some ship, but
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: everybody else.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm kind of in line with myself.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Now, hold on, you were saying, why B is a
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Tupac up the generation? Right?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I mean if I asked my my nephew, my nephew too. Oh,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: so you will say that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I don't fuck with Tupaca. But I feel I get that, Okay,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: So I get the line.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: What I'm saying today is a young boy died Tomorrow,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm they gonna look back.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: And be like, who did his first hit? And I
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: would be the equivalent of the person who made what's
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the biggest Tupac song? Your dad's dealing? Hit him up?
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I may hit him up for you I made. I
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: would be that kind of guy.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And then when I look at even with Top for Fredo,
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: I made a very influential song with somebody who when
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: you think about young Boy and Fredo and how they
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: be for us, I showed the world that don't play
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: with me because I made fred o'bang first hit too.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: I give you that. You I ain't gonna like I'm
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I'm tapped in bro. Now we can talk.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Fred o'bang was big on the on the to get
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: on niggas like me underground like you. When you gave
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: him that type record, you helped him put him in
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: them ranks like put my nigga on stage at that
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: big show, and I love it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I love about, right.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: But you definitely with that record, you helped surpass like
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: get my nigga out of the radio. He can really
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: hit these goddamnit summer jam stage.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Versatility for sure, Nah, for sure, you go to for that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: That's what That's the part that when I look at like,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: that's the part that made me be like I ain't
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: gotta chase.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Everything no more.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Only because of those situations that I look at, nobody
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: else could do. No other producer was out here bridging
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: gaps other than like Doctor Dre and whoever.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Else, like they was making shit.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: They would go, you know, diddy them, they was doing
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: some shit that was like very very gap bridging. And
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: I feel like my generation that I never get respect
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: because people don't look at music that deep.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Like they used to.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna give your respect some real ship on the
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: because I'd be tapped in with the kids, But on
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: the underground level, you was the Diddy because that Biggie
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: and pop shit.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: It was mainstream. But niggas don't understand how big the
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: NBA young boy in Freido Bang Beef and you're the
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: only nigga to give both of them two big records
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Why I give you that appreciate even I mean not
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: to make it no mats shit, but you got two
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: crazy songs that a lot of people cannot say that. Yeah,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: like at a time period where she was ascending, she
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: wasn't there yet, she was on the way up, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: it was kind of ifvy, But those are two big
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: songs of her catalog, as you you know what I'm saying.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: So your versatility with that in the hometown with like
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: that's that's an easy respect for.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: You seeing a lot of people don't know like me
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: and Meg like this. Like she used to, I used
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: to shoot up music videos. I wasn't just a producer.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: I was actually one of her biggest viral freestyles that
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: shot outside my house at the time, and I was
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: staying so that was you.
• 35:53

  Speaker 5: because at the time I felt like you you we
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: almost were close and we was working a lot.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, we close, we just need them visuals now.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: So man, it's just when you look at like, that's
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: how I end up getting thick though, because I knew.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I knew she ain't forget none of that ship. It's
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: just she's so big now, you know. It's harder.
