1:44
Speaker 2: congratso on everything.
1:45
Speaker 1: It's been dope to see.
1:46
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy is I think you and your
1:49
Speaker 2: team are so good at Like I feel like you're
1:53
Speaker 2: an amazing marketer and everything that you do seems to
1:58
Speaker 2: be very like on purpose and with a tent.
2:01
Speaker 1: Does that make sense what I'm saying?
2:03
Speaker 2: Like, like, do you feel like you've started to kind
2:07
Speaker 2: of figure out because once you fall into a record
2:10
Speaker 2: like Soak City, like you're just like learning on the go,
2:13
Speaker 2: Like do you feel like you're finally kind of getting
2:15
Speaker 2: like a real understanding of this music shit and just
2:18
Speaker 2: the industry and.
2:19
Speaker 1: Bro Like, I'm learning at this ship is not as
2:21
Speaker 1: hard as like it's hard as shit like to succeed
2:24
Speaker 1: at the highest level, right, But I'm learning that a
2:26
Speaker 1: lot of this shit is just like it'd be really
2:32
Speaker 1: just one plus two equals three. But like niggas at
2:35
Speaker 1: like it took them a long ass time to get
2:37
Speaker 1: to the top. They're not gonna tell you it's just
2:38
Speaker 1: one plus two or three. Niggas, they're gonna make it
2:40
Speaker 1: overly complicated. But this shit now, it's not that like
2:44
Speaker 1: it's not to me. It's like it's not that much.
2:47
Speaker 1: It's not too much of a secret sauce. It's just like, Okay,
2:50
Speaker 1: is this hard? Just's gonna be on top of this shit?
2:52
Speaker 1: M h. Is he gonna have a nice routine or
2:54
Speaker 1: where he can stay focused? You know, because there's so
2:56
Speaker 1: much success and so much coming at you. Are you
3:00
Speaker 1: going to stay Are you going to continue to develop
3:03
Speaker 1: and go up creatively? Yeah? Are you gonna get burnt out?
3:08
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It's all that type of shit,
3:09
Speaker 1: that's really what it is. It's really just your focus.
3:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you say because because you know, I think
3:14
Speaker 2: what you just said is great, because most artists would
3:17
Speaker 2: it would feel like, if you're an up and coming artist,
3:20
Speaker 2: first of all, music has to resonate, be good. That's
3:23
Speaker 2: the number one thing, right, So without that, like it
3:25
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, right, but if you do have a good product,
3:29
Speaker 2: I do feel like there are artists who overcomplicate the process.
3:31
Speaker 1: Of the music industry, and that's what I think it.
3:34
Speaker 2: And then they also kind of like, well, cyite themselves
3:36
Speaker 2: out from dropping music, or cite themselves out from dropping
3:38
Speaker 2: a piece of content, or maybe they drop a piece
3:40
Speaker 2: of content and it doesn't perform well, and so then
3:42
Speaker 2: they give up as opposed to just doing more of that.
3:45
Speaker 2: Like what would you say? Is kind of been the
3:47
Speaker 2: one plus one equals to strategy that you guys have
3:51
Speaker 2: been able to implement because you know you, I mean,
3:54
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, anytime you guys decide like, hey, this
3:57
Speaker 2: is a song we're going to focus on, it does
3:59
Speaker 2: really well.
4:00
Speaker 1: So I mean I think I'm just in my bag
4:04
Speaker 1: right now, like I'm in my pocket, like I know
4:06
Speaker 1: what's gonna work, and not necessarily like, oh, I know
4:09
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hit. That's not what I'm saying.
4:11
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like I know what I should drop. Like
4:14
Speaker 1: I know, like, okay, rock hibs had to come out
4:16
Speaker 1: at that time, right, did we know do exactly what
4:19
Speaker 1: it did? Know? But like my friends were telling me,
4:21
Speaker 1: it's hard, So let's drop that shit, right, they told
4:23
Speaker 1: me it was hard. I dropped that shit. They told
4:25
Speaker 1: me everything else was hard. I dropped it. They gonna
4:27
Speaker 1: tell me what was right. They're not gonna leave me wrong.
4:29
Speaker 2: But like, once you put the music, Okay, so let's
4:31
Speaker 2: say you're like, okay, rock your hips. Obviously you did
4:33
Speaker 2: the remix with Sweetie, the Originals, got Blue Bucks and
4:36
Speaker 2: Ogz on a right, yeah, But like what are the
4:40
Speaker 2: things that I mean because obviously you're with the Empire,
4:43
Speaker 2: so they have like a great digital team. But like
4:45
Speaker 2: for you as an artist, like, what are the things
4:47
Speaker 2: that you're like, Okay, it's album time, we're gonna put
4:51
Speaker 2: out this song. I I know that I'm not the
4:54
Speaker 2: only like you're not the only variable involved when you
4:57
Speaker 2: put out music. But for the things that you're responsible for,
5:00
Speaker 2: for the things that you can control when it comes
5:02
Speaker 2: to pushing pushing music, what are those things like that
5:04
Speaker 2: you feel like you're like you've figured it out.
5:08
Speaker 1: I will say, like, and when it comes to like
5:13
Speaker 1: when like when it comes to making these albums, it's
5:16
Speaker 1: like it's a lot easier to just put some shit
5:18
Speaker 1: together based off what you already have rather than trying
5:20
Speaker 1: to cook. Okay, like this album is called three undred
5:22
Speaker 1: degrees let's make three hundred ten degrees music. Mm hm no, Like,
5:26
Speaker 1: let's let's grab the songs what we got right and
5:28
Speaker 1: like been working on right, that's what we do, like
5:32
Speaker 1: I mean, and shit, that's what what's crazy is that
5:35
Speaker 1: that's what I did for Lottery Pick, like before I
5:37
Speaker 1: had the team and all that shit. But like I'm
5:40
Speaker 1: not thinking, you know what I mean, Like shit, and
5:43
Speaker 1: that's the same thing now, Like it's just so it's
5:45
Speaker 1: easy for me and I'm not notice like that's all
5:47
Speaker 1: we're doing, Like I noticed that. Shit, it's some other
5:50
Speaker 1: niggas are just going to like overthink it and wait
5:52
Speaker 1: a year and you know what I mean, Like, no,
5:54
Speaker 1: we already have the album is already sitting in front
5:56
Speaker 1: of you for sure.
5:57
Speaker 2: You know what's funny is like anytime we talk, I
5:59
Speaker 2: feel like recently I've had a few conversations with like
6:04
Speaker 2: folks in regarding like the Kendrick moment that happened, and
6:07
Speaker 2: like kind of like LA in general in terms of
6:10
Speaker 2: quote unquote hit records has had like a serious drought.
6:14
Speaker 2: But the one exception to that drought, whether it's been
6:16
Speaker 2: a year or two, however long the quote unquote drought
6:18
Speaker 2: has been, has been Soak City, Right, So, like Soak
6:21
Speaker 2: City is like the the record that got to number
6:25
Speaker 2: one out of LA at radio in multiple formats. And
6:29
Speaker 2: you know, I remember you getting booked in Florida and shit,
6:31
Speaker 2: like fuck nine ten months ago, Like do you feel
6:35
Speaker 2: like you're like any weight of like the LA representation
6:41
Speaker 2: nationwide on your shoulders now?
6:45
Speaker 1: Because I feel like LA don't make me feel like
6:47
Speaker 1: I'm just that nigga. Like LA doesn't make me feel like, oh,
6:51
Speaker 1: you're doing it for us, bro right. I feel like
6:53
Speaker 1: when it comes to stats in these songs like y'all
6:56
Speaker 1: singing my shit because ain't nobody else shit to sing, right,
6:59
Speaker 1: But it's like I don't feel like, oh yeah, like
7:03
Speaker 1: LA hasn't embraced you. I feel like certain people have,
7:06
Speaker 1: but I feel like as a culture, like LA, like
7:10
Speaker 1: it's not that it's not like how it was for Kendrick,
7:12
Speaker 1: which I'm not saying it should be that because it
7:14
Speaker 1: also wasn't like that for Kendrick. Initially it took him
7:17
Speaker 1: a while to get I didn't know you know, well,
7:19
Speaker 1: you were fucking like seven years old young.
7:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like when Kendrick first came out, like he was like,
7:24
Speaker 2: I mean, look, he is a conscious rapper technically, right,
7:27
Speaker 2: So it's like it took a lot. It really took
7:30
Speaker 2: Like Dre he did that watch out for Detox freestyle,
7:34
Speaker 2: and but initially it was very, very like Kendrick almost
7:39
Speaker 2: existed outside of the ecosystem of like quote unquote LA rap.
7:44
Speaker 2: And I feel like, do you I do think that
7:46
Speaker 2: there is something to be said about like you're just
7:48
Speaker 2: a kid having fun. And I think a lot of
7:51
Speaker 2: times in LA, like we get wrapped up in like
7:54
Speaker 2: artists who might be affiliated or might be quote unquote
7:57
Speaker 2: gangster rappers, and so I feel like you're kind of
8:00
Speaker 2: just doing your own thing, your own way, just making music,
8:03
Speaker 2: and I feel like it's just you're just you're just
8:05
Speaker 2: on positive vibes, bro, like you're doing you.
8:07
Speaker 1: So I think LA's fun. I mean, you saw it
8:08
Speaker 1: out the Novo, Bro.
8:09
Speaker 2: That's a big deal pretty big and that was like
8:12
Speaker 2: your graduation party, right.
8:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, like, I don't know, I think it's
8:20
Speaker 1: it's important for me, I mean even talking about this now,
8:22
Speaker 1: which is important for me to be grateful and appreciate
8:25
Speaker 1: what's here right and now what's not for sure? If
8:28
Speaker 1: I if I think like that, that's the average human.
8:31
Speaker 2: And then you're gonna be You're gonna psych yourself out
8:35
Speaker 2: and you're gonna I mean, that's kind of the two
8:38
Speaker 2: plus two. They're the one plus one equals two thing.
8:40
Speaker 2: When people start thinking about what they don't get instead
8:42
Speaker 2: of worried like you know what I mean, that's where
8:43
Speaker 2: they start getting fucking they overthink it.
8:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't know. I think two
8:49
Speaker 1: is like I already don't be in LA like that.
8:51
Speaker 1: So I think it's like if I did a big
8:52
Speaker 1: ass show and I've seen people pop out, I'd be like,
8:54
Speaker 1: oh yeah they do that.
8:54
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean you had a big show. I
8:56
Speaker 2: mean look and then obviously getting off tour with OJZ
8:59
Speaker 2: had to be done. Oh yeah, bro, that shit was
9:02
Speaker 2: crazy because Ojiz is like another one of those guys
9:04
Speaker 2: who's like, you know, Shoreline and OGZ for you know
9:10
Speaker 2: one of the I mean, their wave has been so
9:13
Speaker 2: influential on LA culture and just like LA artists, like
9:15
Speaker 2: I think a Draco and Shoreline is kind of like
9:18
Speaker 2: a lot of the influence in terms of like a
9:21
Speaker 2: whole generation of quote unquote LA rap.
9:24
Speaker 1: So shout out to OGZ. Good guy, not for sure
9:28
Speaker 1: one of the most genuine niggas I met, bro and like,
9:30
Speaker 1: I have so many conversations with him while on that
9:32
Speaker 1: tour that I have nothing to do with music and
9:34
Speaker 1: nothing to do with bullshit, right, And I like learned
9:37
Speaker 1: so much from him, you know what I mean, Because
9:40
Speaker 1: it's like outside of his workshit because this is our
9:42
Speaker 1: job at the end of the yare right, But outside
9:44
Speaker 1: of this workship, O Jiz is on a different level.
9:46
Speaker 1: Whether or not he shows the world that which I mean,
9:48
Speaker 1: you know, everybody kind of keeps it themselves, like you know,
9:50
Speaker 1: you don't give the world one hundred percent of who
9:52
Speaker 1: you are, right right, But like, oh, jeseus a cool
9:55
Speaker 1: nigga man.
9:55
Speaker 2: And he's just sharp man, you know, whether it's putting out.
10:00
Speaker 1: I think he's got his.
10:00
Speaker 2: Makeup line or no, his eyelashes, he's got the Marisco spot.
10:04
Speaker 2: He's just an entrepreneur. He's a hustler, you know what
10:06
Speaker 2: I mean for sure, and he's under I feel just
10:07
Speaker 2: like somehow he's still underrated somehow.
10:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh Gez, I feel like, oh niggas aint gonnappreciate
10:13
Speaker 1: O GZ to you not here no more wow, because

10:38
Speaker 2: The Sweety remix was Whose idea was that? Was that

10:43
Speaker 1: Yeah? That me and the team got that right? I
10:44
Speaker 1: mean strategic, Bro, we need some females. I think I

10:50
Speaker 1: Yeah that she was crazy?
10:52
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, sweet is She's also somebody who's fucking just cool.
10:56
Speaker 1: Sweety's coolest. Fuck. I remember at the music video when
11:00
Speaker 1: we were talking, bro, like she not to talk about
11:04
Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about, but she's like aware, she's
11:06
Speaker 1: super awake, she's.
11:07
Speaker 2: Super sharp, super hip, and she's very like you know,
11:11
Speaker 2: you would think like she's like, you know, she's had
11:13
Speaker 2: her on McDonald's meal, bro, So she's like, fuck, I.
11:15
Speaker 1: Forgot she had that shit. Damn. She's really a joint,
11:18
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
11:18
Speaker 2: Like, but talk to her, you wouldn't even get that, like,
11:21
Speaker 2: you know, like she's not unapproachable.
11:23
Speaker 1: She's also like yeah she doesn't. She's cool as fuck. Yeah,
11:25
Speaker 1: she didn't give like oh you know what I mean,
11:28
Speaker 1: Like she was just super cool like us. He graduate too,
11:30
Speaker 1: shout out to Sweden. Forgot she had the meal. Damn, Bro.
11:35
Speaker 2: Now that you're out of high school and you're very successful,
11:41
Speaker 2: would you ever consider getting like a degree just to
11:44
Speaker 2: get a degree.
11:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I think.
11:48
Speaker 2: College is gonna be there forever. It'll never not be there,
11:51
Speaker 2: that's for sure. Someone will always take your money to
11:53
Speaker 2: go to school.
11:54
Speaker 1: Right. But I think like if I went back, I
11:56
Speaker 1: would make it. It would be intentional. How you said,
11:59
Speaker 1: everything's seems like I do it on purpose. I would
12:01
Speaker 1: go back, maybe make the album around where I go,
12:03
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Some shit like that'd be hard.
12:06
Speaker 1: What would you go to school for? Do you have
12:08
Speaker 1: any idea this business? Because that's what I was, That's
12:10
Speaker 1: all I was on before this shit.
12:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk to me, man. You know there was one
12:15
Speaker 2: of the to me, the most flagrant outside of the
12:19
Speaker 2: freshman cover having the not like Us tagline, but the
12:23
Speaker 2: fact there is no one from LA and to me,
12:25
Speaker 2: the biggest emission of that cover would have been yourself.
12:30
Speaker 2: Was that something that bothered you not making that cover?
12:32
Speaker 1: Of course in them like in that moment, But then
12:36
Speaker 1: I like kind of got out of it because it's
12:39
Speaker 1: a lot of niggas I didn't got snubbed. It's a
12:40
Speaker 1: lot of niggas. I was great NBA players and got
12:43
Speaker 1: snubbed from the All Star Game, great NFL players that
12:45
Speaker 1: didn't make the pro bo. I don't mean I'm not
12:48
Speaker 1: great or I can't be great or whatever, you know,
12:51
Speaker 1: whatever bar that is that they have set for, like, oh,
12:53
Speaker 1: this is what qualifies you to be at XL cool, right,
12:56
Speaker 1: And I'm not here to say if I qualify or not.
12:58
Speaker 1: That's up to them. That's theayless. At the end of
13:00
Speaker 1: the day, it's one hundred fucking lists out here as
13:02
Speaker 1: complex it's this is that if you just had to
13:04
Speaker 1: make your own fucking top ten list, it don't matter.
13:07
Speaker 1: But like, shit, do I think I should have been
13:09
Speaker 1: on there? Yes? But am I onn some like FX Excel, No,
13:13
Speaker 1: because they could put it. Sure, they can put whoever
13:14
Speaker 1: they want to. It's their list. Yeah.
13:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just look at it, like, you know, there's
13:19
Speaker 2: been some all time great guys who never was on
13:23
Speaker 2: the Freshman list.
13:25
Speaker 1: You know, they never put Drake on. You I think
13:27
Speaker 1: about that, you know, was that controversial? I wasn't because
13:30
Speaker 1: I wasn't tapped.
13:31
Speaker 2: Well, I think that what ended up happening was by
13:34
Speaker 2: the time, like it would have made sense to put
13:36
Speaker 2: him on, they just gave him his own cover.
13:38
Speaker 1: Oh, which shit, it is what it is.
13:42
Speaker 2: And then the other thing too, was like I feel
13:44
Speaker 2: like this I was just talking a big extra plug
13:46
Speaker 2: and he was just saying how like he was just
13:49
Speaker 2: a little disappointed because this year's like class was not
13:53
Speaker 2: a like not everybody wanted to rap and shit, And
13:56
Speaker 2: he's like, yo, like this is the freshman cover, Like
13:59
Speaker 2: you gotta fuck rap on this shit.
14:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think music is changing on top
14:05
Speaker 1: of I mean, that's really what it is. Think about
14:08
Speaker 1: niggas ain't rapping no more, Like even me, I'm not
14:11
Speaker 1: the most lyrical nigga.
14:12
Speaker 2: Right, but I feel like if I mean, you could
14:14
Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong, but if you were to
14:16
Speaker 2: be on that cover, you would have had something.
14:18
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I'm not saying that, that's what I'm saying.
14:20
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I wouldn't. I'm just trying to give like, okay,
14:22
Speaker 1: like you know, you know what I mean, Like you
14:25
Speaker 1: would have rapped though, Hell yeah, I feel like two,
14:27
Speaker 1: I think a lot of niggas don't appreciate, not even appreciate,
14:31
Speaker 1: but they don't like see the XXL shit the same
14:33
Speaker 1: way Big X may Big X may see that and remember,
14:36
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this is XS. So I grew up watching
14:38
Speaker 1: this shit my generations, like we only remember twenty sixteen.
14:42
Speaker 1: After that we blinked.
14:44
Speaker 2: Right, and some of those were just like there was
14:46
Speaker 2: some interesting cipher moments like the XXS ten Tasion moment
14:50
Speaker 2: was pretty crazy.
14:51
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. You see how it was
14:52
Speaker 1: like started to like it was not in my opinion,
14:55
Speaker 1: but I'm saying on some like big hip hop shit,
14:57
Speaker 1: it started to go down.
14:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was more like once the cloud SoundCloud error
15:00
Speaker 2: kind of kicked in. I feel like the freshman ciphers
15:04
Speaker 2: just got a lot more water down and it was
15:06
Speaker 2: like some of them would go viral because of like
15:08
Speaker 2: how interesting they were, how bad they were.
15:11
Speaker 1: And then I mean even think now in the age
15:13
Speaker 1: of content bro, like it's faciently continue to be that.
15:16
Speaker 2: Do you feel like because we are a content addicted
15:20
Speaker 2: society and that can work for us and against us.
15:25
Speaker 2: I feel like consumers are just they're so desensitized to
15:28
Speaker 2: everything because it's just content, content content, whether you're watching
15:32
Speaker 2: YouTube documentaries, whether you're watching reels TikTok. As an artist
15:37
Speaker 2: being in the content era of music is, would you
15:41
Speaker 2: say that the content side is as important as the
15:46
Speaker 2: music now.
15:48
Speaker 1: I think it's funny, like you asked me that because
15:50
Speaker 1: you look at somebody like me, like only have two
15:51
Speaker 1: hundred thousand followers as of today, right right, but I
15:54
Speaker 1: have a lot more records and niggas that have one
15:57
Speaker 1: million followers. And I think it's two side this shit.
16:00
Speaker 1: It's a side of like people that are entertained on
16:03
Speaker 1: Instagram and tik talk and shit, and like they have
16:06
Speaker 1: entertaining content. But then it's the side of like who's
16:08
Speaker 1: actually streaming?
16:10
Speaker 2: Well, I think too, Like what I mean, I think
16:13
Speaker 2: a lot of the genesis of like people discovering Silk
16:17
Speaker 2: City was through social media, right, So it was like
16:20
Speaker 2: I want to say, like, who are the early people
16:23
Speaker 2: who danced to it?
16:24
Speaker 1: But see, Okay, so it's like c J. Stroudstorm the
16:27
Speaker 1: bar like et cetera. Right, But what the point I'm
16:29
Speaker 1: about to make here is people heard the song because
16:33
Speaker 1: of people dancing, not my face, not content that I did. Nowadays, bro,
16:39
Speaker 1: people won't have a fucking anywhere near a hit, right,
16:43
Speaker 1: but they'll go do like one of the mic videos
16:45
Speaker 1: and they will see their face. Oh yo, you're the dude,
16:47
Speaker 1: You're right, and then you get eight hundred thousand fucking followers,
16:49
Speaker 1: not eight hundred thousand streams like that.
16:51
Speaker 2: Fat dude that looks like Peter Griffin they got. Do
16:54
Speaker 2: you remember that fat dude that like the nerdy fat
16:56
Speaker 2: dude who dressed like Peter Griffin on the white dude
16:57
Speaker 2: who dressed like Peter Griffin on purpose and he did
16:59
Speaker 2: the micro performance. It's like I know that guy, I
17:01
Speaker 2: don't know what his fucking name is. But like you said,
17:06
Speaker 2: is the consumption of the product matching up to whatever
17:10
Speaker 2: virality you might have, or because motherfuckers can be like yo,
17:15
Speaker 2: I have you know on the radar freestyle that went crazy,
17:19
Speaker 2: which is great, but it's like, is that is the
17:24
Speaker 2: are you converting to people going to consuming you a
17:28
Speaker 2: shit or buying tickets to a show?
17:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, these niggas, No, nobody's selling tickets. But I think
17:34
Speaker 1: that shit'sn't a drop down because I think it was
17:36
Speaker 1: starting to happen as a I mean, and everybody knows this,
17:38
Speaker 1: Like these niggas are like labels are signing these people
17:40
Speaker 1: and it's not doing anything correct. So like when shit
17:44
Speaker 1: like that happens, of change always occurs. Now how long
17:48
Speaker 1: that takes? But you know, I don't think it'd be
17:52
Speaker 1: like that first because it doesn't make sense and it's
17:54
Speaker 1: a waste of investment.
17:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like, honestly, if you're a label, I mean, unfortunately,
18:01
Speaker 2: it's like you're kind of like helping like one out
18:08
Speaker 2: of ten artists. If you're a major label hits. You know,
18:11
Speaker 2: if you could get like one, Let's say you're Atlantic
18:13
Speaker 2: and you signed ten artists and one.
18:15
Speaker 1: Of them is Cardi B. You're like, okay, well, Cardi B.
18:17
Speaker 1: Is gonna make up for all the money we might
18:18
Speaker 1: have lost off like that keep the lights on. Yeah,
18:20
Speaker 1: exactly so, And that's why I think I've had a
18:25
Speaker 1: conversation with my team about this before. It's like, Bro,
18:27
Speaker 1: imagine we would have had the traditional artists today that
18:30
Speaker 1: like every week, another nigga blows up on TikTok, cuts
18:32
Speaker 1: in a video or content whatever and then like has
18:35
Speaker 1: five hundred K in the first three months or eight
18:36
Speaker 1: hundred K whatever. Right, But it's like I could have
18:39
Speaker 1: been that, but we wouldn't have had shit or any records.
18:42
Speaker 1: And it's like what's online motion without any records? Like
18:44
Speaker 1: that's what pays the bills, bro. But nowadays, with artists
18:49
Speaker 1: becoming content creators, Bro, they're fucking eating off just that
18:53
Speaker 1: this is true. So it's like, I don't know, It's
18:55
Speaker 1: like it's both sides, but I feel like with me,
18:58
Speaker 1: I'm one of the like I'm a unique case because
19:01
Speaker 1: I'm proving again and again that like, Bro, at the
19:03
Speaker 1: end of the day, music is what matters, and until
19:06
Speaker 1: that changes, until it's like nah, bro, if you're not
19:08
Speaker 1: doing this good ass content, you're not streaming. But until then, shit,
19:12
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna make good music, like because take away
19:15
Speaker 1: social media. My shit's on the radio.
19:17
Speaker 2: Well, I just saw you too. You did a speaking
19:19
Speaker 2: engagement in Phoenix.
19:20
Speaker 1: What was that about? Man?
19:24
Speaker 2: That was like, are you like, are you gonna start
19:27
Speaker 2: doing more of that type of shit?
19:28
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it's this time I get into like
19:31
Speaker 1: who I really am and letting people know it's different
19:34
Speaker 1: sides than me. It's not just the music shit, right,
19:36
Speaker 1: because everybody sees it so sicky shit and then like okay,
19:39
Speaker 1: it has an opinion or talk shit or whatever they're
19:41
Speaker 1: gonna do. But it's like, no, I'm over here too,
19:43
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like cause the other guys
19:45
Speaker 1: are like over there with all the bullshit, but like
19:47
Speaker 1: I'm over here making sure we're straight on like the
19:50
Speaker 1: corporate side. So then if all this shit collapse, I
19:53
Speaker 1: still could be that face that could represent you know
19:55
Speaker 1: what I mean, because it's like who else can to
19:56
Speaker 1: represent black youth on that level? That's some crazy shit
20:00
Speaker 1: that's real.
20:01
Speaker 2: So it's like, yo, if the music goes away, like
20:03
Speaker 2: at least I like like you're like, that's the thing
20:05
Speaker 2: is like the name of your guys's company is high IQ, right,
20:08
Speaker 2: So it's like you know, just that brand in general
20:11
Speaker 2: is like you should have something of merit to say
20:14
Speaker 2: people that that people can at least gravitate towards.
20:18
Speaker 1: And I used to be like, damn, you know artists,
20:21
Speaker 1: big artists have like the label behind, like the label
20:24
Speaker 1: with the group or like whoever they hang out with,
20:26
Speaker 1: and anesthetic and all this ship like that's the new thing.
20:28
Speaker 1: Like everybody has like a look or a feel, right,
20:32
Speaker 1: But then like me, I used to be like damn,
20:34
Speaker 1: so like my aesthetic gotta give. But now I think
20:36
Speaker 1: about it, it's like, bro, hi, i Q is that
20:38
Speaker 1: and it's bigger. It's bigger than what I wear. It's
20:41
Speaker 1: bigger than who I hang out with, because a lot
20:42
Speaker 1: of niggas aesthetics stop at their fashion or who they
20:45
Speaker 1: hang out.
20:46
Speaker 2: Buddies are right, right, But me now is to hey, yo,
20:49
Speaker 2: that fucking Kendrick line where he was talking about Yadia,
20:51
Speaker 2: I don't give.
20:51
Speaker 1: A funk who you hang with. I was like that,
20:53
Speaker 1: that's funny. It's everything. It's everything, bro, It's fucking everything.
20:58
Speaker 1: It's like the high Q be anything. It's it's not
21:01
Speaker 1: just one thing, and it's so much more to me
21:04
Speaker 1: than just music. Yeah, I think. I think that's that's
21:07
Speaker 1: true too.
21:07
Speaker 2: Is like a lot of fans, unfortunately, are very shallow
21:10
Speaker 2: and so like they might they're like weirdly enough associating
21:17
Speaker 2: like your validation or how much they want to fuck
21:21
Speaker 2: with you based on who you're hanging out with, which
21:24
Speaker 2: is weird. But that's a thing. I mean, but you've
21:27
Speaker 2: kind of skated through that because you're just making undeniable
21:30
Speaker 2: hit records, so you don't have to worry about like
21:32
Speaker 2: being in these weird ass fucking studio sessions or being
21:35
Speaker 2: like the awkward dude y'all, let's get a flick for
21:38
Speaker 2: I G.
21:38
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Bro, I don't even brouh. Yeah,
21:42
Speaker 1: we're not even in the mix for think about that
21:44
Speaker 1: and that and that's not necessarily a good thing. Think
21:47
Speaker 1: about it if I was, though, like, think about how
21:49
Speaker 1: all these other guys I'm not no name, you know what,
21:51
Speaker 1: You'll know what I'm talking about. How other guys are
21:53
Speaker 1: moved around so like, oh, oh, hang out with these
21:56
Speaker 1: guys for a minute, hang out over here, super weird dude,
22:00
Speaker 1: weird and see it all the time. I'll be like,
22:02
Speaker 1: oh yeah, And it gets to the point where like
22:05
Speaker 1: you get to a certain level, and now everybody's friends,
22:08
Speaker 1: but it's.
22:09
Speaker 2: Like nobody but nobody's friends. Yeah, everybody's friends, but they're not. Yeah,
22:13
Speaker 2: And I feel like everything happens for a reason. And
22:15
Speaker 2: I mean that's why I'm not like associated super early.
22:18
Speaker 2: I think it's going to get to that point where
22:19
Speaker 2: it's like, damn, we didn't fuck with them early. We
22:22
Speaker 2: didn't fuck with them early, but now if we want
22:24
Speaker 2: to fuck with them, we know we got to pay
22:25
Speaker 2: that fee. Not even pay the fee, bro, But it's
22:28
Speaker 2: like it's hard, it's a long line.
22:30
Speaker 1: Bro.
22:31
Speaker 2: Somebody else who wasn't necessarily back to our conversation earlier,
22:34
Speaker 2: I would say necessarily embraced by l A early would
22:38
Speaker 2: have been Tyler.
22:39
Speaker 1: Holy shit, Tyler is a good fucking case he bro.
22:42
Speaker 1: He got on.
22:43
Speaker 2: And then it's like it's like everyone just forgot like
22:46
Speaker 2: duties from LA and you think, what you think that's
22:48
Speaker 2: not having to me? Look at look at what Look
22:51
Speaker 2: at what I've done, look at what I've done right
22:53
Speaker 2: where I'm at, and like where the world is right
22:56
Speaker 2: now when it comes to like social media and culture,
22:59
Speaker 2: we're not thinking about. And then look at me how
23:01
Speaker 2: I look, how I carry myself.
23:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that could be it.
23:05
Speaker 2: But I do think at the very least, at least sonically,
23:08
Speaker 2: when I hear your records, it gives it gives me
23:12
Speaker 2: West Coast you know, the BPM, you know, it kind
23:15
Speaker 2: of gives me. Okay, this is some this is some
23:18
Speaker 2: West Coast or origin the music as to where I
23:21
Speaker 2: feel like when Tyler first came out, he was making
23:23
Speaker 2: like Yonkers is like fucking seventy six vpms and it's
23:26
Speaker 2: like a really dark record, you know. But I'm wondering
23:29
Speaker 2: have you guys connected. I know you guys are both
23:31
Speaker 2: at to pop out. I don't know if you guys
23:32
Speaker 2: have had any words or chopped it up.
23:34
Speaker 1: Or cross past. That's one thing I haven't met, bro,
23:36
Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm supposed to, but I feel
23:38
Speaker 1: like it hasn't happened because it's not me yet, right,
23:41
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It don't happen. Yeah, And
23:43
Speaker 1: I feel like I've talked to people that are like, oh, yeah,
23:45
Speaker 1: like you and Tyler will be dada like, oh I
23:47
Speaker 1: know him, and that's something like No, when it's time,
23:49
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's time, it will happen.
23:50
Speaker 1: And when it's time to hit like when it you
23:52
Speaker 1: know what I mean, when it's gonna hit boom, you know,
23:54
Speaker 1: because it's for me. And I've said this in super
23:56
Speaker 1: like many interviews. It's like it's not super important to
24:00
Speaker 1: have just a feature, but I want to work with
24:01
Speaker 1: him on production. Bro. He plays all his own instruments. Yeah,
24:05
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I don't know what
24:06
Speaker 1: could that do for me? Bro? Like how think about
24:08
Speaker 1: how even him like he met Pharrell. I've seen that
24:11
Speaker 1: video and like it changed the way he thought about music. Bro,
24:14
Speaker 1: I haven't had that moment yet. But I met all
24:16
Speaker 1: these like I met all these like street niggas, but
24:18
Speaker 1: I haven't met somebody that's like a genius, a musical
24:20
Speaker 1: genius that like may change the way I think, you
24:23
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, that's the thing everybody wants
24:26
Speaker 1: to Oh, whose niggas taking pictures with? What chain they
24:29
Speaker 1: got was this? Bro? Let me meet for a Let
24:31
Speaker 1: me meet Yeah, let me meet Tyler creator. We don't know,
24:34
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
24:35
Speaker 2: Because if you don't know what spark that could create, right,
24:38
Speaker 2: especially you know it's in you know, it's in you.
24:40
Speaker 1: I'm a student of the fucking game. These other niggas
24:43
Speaker 1: are just within this shit and they're living it. They're
24:45
Speaker 1: living whatever artists name they are. Me, I'm understanding that
24:48
Speaker 1: it's my business and I'm gonna make sure this motherfucker
24:50
Speaker 1: go up as long as as long as I just
24:52
Speaker 1: listen and take shit in and I listen. I love that, man,
24:55
Speaker 1: I love that.
24:56
Speaker 2: I was thinking too, like for you, you know, you
25:00
Speaker 2: have a company now, so but you're also an eighteen
25:03
Speaker 2: year old kid. Are you interested in finding other artist
25:08
Speaker 2: or is it too early for that?
25:10
Speaker 1: Just way too early. I think people may look at
25:14
Speaker 1: me on something like people e DM me and you
25:15
Speaker 1: way oh damn bro like this that that. But it's like, bro,
25:18
Speaker 1: I'm not even in a position to put you on, right,
25:21
Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah. I think that that is like
25:23
Speaker 1: a very terrible.
25:26
Speaker 2: Attitude or approach rather not attitude to music is like
25:32
Speaker 2: thinking that there's like gate keepers, because then if you
25:35
Speaker 2: think that that's your path, like oh, someone has the
25:37
Speaker 2: power to quote unquote put me on, yeah, then you
25:40
Speaker 2: have like a then you have a boogey man to
25:42
Speaker 2: point at and be like, well, this fool just didn't
25:45
Speaker 2: put me on, or you know, it was just like whatever,
25:48
Speaker 2: I just went through this shit with with people saying
25:51
Speaker 2: like I need to put more Arizona artists on, and
25:53
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, I can't put nobody on, Like who
25:55
Speaker 2: the fuck you think?
25:56
Speaker 1: You gotta think? Bro? If you go grab beers on
25:58
Speaker 1: artists and you just be like post some page, what
26:01
Speaker 1: the fuck is I gonna do?
26:02
Speaker 2: I don't think people. And also done that with like
26:04
Speaker 2: thirty Erason artists. So it's like you know, but it's
26:08
Speaker 2: like like it's really like there's like there's this is
26:11
Speaker 2: like you do you have a zero barrier to the
26:13
Speaker 2: world as a musician. Yeah, it's straight to it's there's
26:16
Speaker 2: a straight to fan based connection. So if what you're
26:19
Speaker 2: doing is resonating and you're playing with the algram and
26:22
Speaker 2: you're putting the work in like that, that ain't got
26:25
Speaker 2: shit to do with me, thog, you know what I'm.
26:26
Speaker 1: Saying, Like, I mean shit.
26:28
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because people will have that attitude like yo,
26:31
Speaker 2: three one old baby sigmy man put me on. It's like, man,
26:33
Speaker 2: like get your motion, get your work ethic together, get
26:37
Speaker 2: your regimen together.
26:38
Speaker 1: You fuck around and fuck yourself up trying to put
26:40
Speaker 1: another nig on.
26:41
Speaker 2: For sure, because it's like especially as an artist who
26:44
Speaker 2: I don't think niggas understand.
26:46
Speaker 1: Bro, if you do a song with somebody bro and
26:48
Speaker 1: that shit do not hit. But you're coming off a
26:50
Speaker 1: seven song streak, that fucking eighth song, if it don't
26:53
Speaker 1: hit your all, like you're done. Especially today, I think
26:56
Speaker 1: back in the day, Back in the day, niggas could
26:59
Speaker 1: like kind of like trickle down and like pop back
27:01
Speaker 1: because there's no social media, like a nigga disappear and
27:04
Speaker 1: probably be straight all the time. Man, oh my god,
27:07
Speaker 1: especially with Twitter and social media, they'll get bashed. Bro.
27:10
Speaker 1: You don't do that, bro. So it's like, even with me,
27:12
Speaker 1: it's like super strategic. Bro. How you said this like intentionally? Yeah,
27:15
Speaker 1: because we know nigga we planing? What fire nigga?
27:18
Speaker 2: You bro?
27:20
Speaker 1: Especially with me, Bro, I'm at. I'm not at, you
27:23
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I can't call no big guy
27:24
Speaker 1: to help me. We make the wrong step.
27:26
Speaker 2: That's the l Was there anybody who you were trying
27:30
Speaker 2: to get on the Soak City remix or almost got
27:33
Speaker 2: on the Soak City Remix that just didn't quite come
27:38
Speaker 2: to fruition because I'm assuming everybody was trying to get
27:43
Speaker 2: on it.
27:44
Speaker 1: No, A couple of niggas was trying to get on that,
27:46
Speaker 1: but it got to the point where it was too
27:47
Speaker 1: many fucking people cause we started saying like not saying yes,
27:50
Speaker 1: but it was more you know me, I'm like.
27:52
Speaker 2: Because it ended up being what Blue Bucks, Blue Face
27:55
Speaker 2: and Oz Tiger was yg blue Bus Clan Okay, because
28:01
Speaker 2: like I heard, because I was thinking, fuck, Chris Brown
28:03
Speaker 2: would be crazy on the fucking Solk City.
28:05
Speaker 1: Bro. Anybody you got to think, Bro, anybody could did it?
28:08
Speaker 1: For sure? Yeah? I mean it was a hell of
28:11
Speaker 1: a lineup. Yeah, anybody could did it. I think it was.
28:14
Speaker 1: I think I created one of them songs that didn't
28:15
Speaker 1: matter like who was on it.
28:17
Speaker 2: Also, like the original gets played more than the remix,
28:20
Speaker 2: which is also that's that's all.
28:21
Speaker 1: The remix did is promo for the original.
28:23
Speaker 2: Sure, uh your sound? We know kind of like the
28:30
Speaker 2: records we've gotten from me so far, and they're all
28:32
Speaker 2: very much in the same kind of vein of like
28:33
Speaker 2: party music. Is there any plans to kind of like
28:37
Speaker 2: try to step out of your comfort zone? Maybe not
28:40
Speaker 2: this album, because you know what your fans want. No, no, no,
28:42
Speaker 2: this album has as But this is the thing I
28:46
Speaker 2: think now people are gonna see Okay, Like there's party
28:50
Speaker 2: songs because people would dance to them. Of course, if
28:52
Speaker 2: people would dance in my shit, I can't control that.
28:55
Speaker 2: The only song I intentionally made party songs too was
28:59
Speaker 2: Soak City Rock your Hips, Pink Whitney, back it up
29:04
Speaker 2: in the other song that's like a little bounty maybe
29:06
Speaker 2: a little bit, but right, I'm telling you songs I
29:08
Speaker 2: intention like, I put that behind. That's the energy I'm
29:11
Speaker 2: putting like, you know what I mean. So this album
29:14
Speaker 2: three hundred ten degrees, Bro, it doesn't sound like fucking so.
29:17
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like rocky hibs. And I think now
29:19
Speaker 2: people are gonna appreciate his beat selection, like talking about me, people,
29:23
Speaker 2: we're gonna finally see, okay, this nigga does have b selection.
29:25
Speaker 2: But the thing is this, right, people don't understand. You
29:27
Speaker 2: got to keep the fucking lights on. Bro.
29:29
Speaker 1: You have to Oh this sounds stead of out nigga?
29:32
Speaker 1: Are you paying my bills? Right? Because if I fucking
29:34
Speaker 1: fall off, then what then you feel off? Bro? Let
29:37
Speaker 1: me do what I gotta do. I think people pick
29:39
Speaker 1: the lights on. People don't understand the music business, bro,
29:42
Speaker 1: people because I think people are so caught up in
29:44
Speaker 1: like the all this, like y'all don't know, Bro, you
29:46
Speaker 1: don't know what I got. I could probably, Bro, I
29:48
Speaker 1: can have some songs right now that I'd be like, yeah, bro,
29:51
Speaker 1: like me and my homies, fuck with it. I know
29:53
Speaker 1: kids gonna fuck with it. But if they don't, like,
29:56
Speaker 1: if they don't feel like, if everybody else don't feel like, no,
29:58
Speaker 1: that's it, then it's not gonna you know. I mean,
30:01
Speaker 1: so like you know, like for sure, just be patient
30:03
Speaker 1: and let me figure this shit out, because I feel
30:05
Speaker 1: like not even I feel like, Bro, I feel like
30:08
Speaker 1: I'm a musical genius, bro, honestly, and I feel like
30:11
Speaker 1: all I can do to prove that to everybody is
30:13
Speaker 1: to continue to work no matter what I say, you
30:16
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that's all that matters. Action is
30:18
Speaker 1: way stronger than words. So you know, I'm saying that
30:21
Speaker 1: respectfully and humble, but I just have to keep proving myself.
30:24
Speaker 1: And after this album, people will see like, oh shit,
30:26
Speaker 1: not necessarily like I'm not saying you're gonna listen to
30:28
Speaker 1: this album and think I'm yeah, right, it's not what
30:30
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not saying that this is gonna be
30:32
Speaker 1: the best album. I ever fucking dropped. But what I'm
30:34
Speaker 1: saying is I want you to watch my growth and
30:36
Speaker 1: start to look at my trajectory like, Okay, he's getting better.
30:39
Speaker 1: That's what people don't track. People track clout fucking chains
30:42
Speaker 1: and money. Track the progress, track the progress because making
30:46
Speaker 1: progress is better and way different than making money. Watch
30:49
Speaker 1: just watch it, bro, Yeah you listen.
30:53
Speaker 2: I mean the progress has to be documented because if
30:55
Speaker 2: you go from your first record being platinum and being
30:58
Speaker 2: recorded on an iPhone, it's I mean, that's about as
31:02
Speaker 2: ground zero as it can possibly get.
31:06
Speaker 1: So yeah, when you hear when you hear the album,
31:09
Speaker 1: you'll be like, okay, oh shit, You'll you'll be able
31:11
Speaker 1: to now because it's so many songs, you'll be able to,
31:16
Speaker 1: you know, kind of say, okay, this is obviously for
31:18
Speaker 1: his kids. I mean for the kids, right, Okay, Now
31:20
Speaker 1: I funk with this, and I see where he's going, Like,
31:23
Speaker 1: it's some records on it that are going to surprise you.
31:25
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying yeah, yeah, you know, artists, we
31:28
Speaker 1: always try to oversell our ship this of course. Yeah
31:30
Speaker 1: you're listening to see for sure, what was it like
31:35
Speaker 1: for you?
31:36
Speaker 2: Did you understand the gravity and the just the moment
31:40
Speaker 2: of coming out for the pop out. You know, I still
31:43
Speaker 2: don't crazy night. I mean it's gonna be like like
31:47
Speaker 2: a night in hip hop history, you know.
31:48
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying is I still don't because
31:50
Speaker 1: like because you must have brought you out. Yeah, I
31:53
Speaker 1: still like I know what it is. But you gotta
31:56
Speaker 1: think it's still so current. It's still like when you're
32:01
Speaker 1: in it, you're not really Yeah, It's like it's just
32:04
Speaker 1: that's right now, right, I think we're still in that era.
32:07
Speaker 1: We're still in that Drake Kendrick era. Sure, right, But
32:10
Speaker 1: it's like I think you guys lived through a lot
32:12
Speaker 1: of shit. You guys lift through a lot of historical
32:14
Speaker 1: hip hop moments to where you guys understand early, especially
32:17
Speaker 1: with you guys being older, noticing other moments that she
32:20
Speaker 1: may not have been a part of, and now that
32:22
Speaker 1: some people were able to participate in it, now that like, oh,
32:25
Speaker 1: I was a part of a legendary hip hop moment.
32:27
Speaker 1: I think as I get older, I'll start to like
32:31
Speaker 1: really understand more and more. I think I get it now.
32:33
Speaker 1: But you gotta think it's like everybody out there as
32:35
Speaker 1: old as fuck, bro older than me like it doesn't
32:38
Speaker 1: hit yet, right, it doesn't hit yet, It'll hit later.
32:41
Speaker 1: Were you able to meet Kendrick that night? Shook his
32:44
Speaker 1: hand like on something like that? Cool? I mean shit,
32:46
Speaker 1: you gotta think, bro, A lot of things can't even
32:49
Speaker 1: fucking get a hold of Kendrick. So for sure that
32:51
Speaker 1: was dope as fuck. I always wondered if Kendrick fucked
32:55
Speaker 1: with me. I always wondered, like I think everybody's on,
33:00
Speaker 1: like you know, once he popped back yard, like oh, like,
33:02
Speaker 1: oh Kendrick doing the song. I'm not not on that ship.
33:04
Speaker 1: That's not you know what I mean. That's that's a
33:06
Speaker 1: headache alone, right right. But like I always be like, Damn,
33:09
Speaker 1: do Kendrick fuck with me? Damn do this nigga fuck
33:11
Speaker 1: with me? Because it's like one thing for like LA
33:13
Speaker 1: artist to fuck with me, but it's one thing for
33:14
Speaker 1: the top LA artist to fuck That's what really matters, right,
33:18
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, but I think what's
33:21
Speaker 1: gonna happen, bro, And I think it's kind of happened.
33:24
Speaker 1: It starts happening a little once. I once I drop
33:26
Speaker 1: Rocot hips to happen. But I just need the dominoes
33:29
Speaker 1: to start falling. I think, what's really gonna do with
33:31
Speaker 1: bt you know what I mean? Like, I mean, shit
33:34
Speaker 1: that's passing is not huh but bt BT Awards, that
33:37
Speaker 1: for sure helped me a lot because I mean shit,
33:40
Speaker 1: I was nominated, they said my name on TV. Hundreds
33:43
Speaker 1: of thousands of people saw that ship, you know what
33:45
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's like, hey, I'm doing this ship. Bro.
33:49
Speaker 1: It's crazy even just talking about it, like it's so much.
33:53
Speaker 1: But we're just gonna keep working, keep our head down,
33:55
Speaker 1: and we're gonna look up one day and it's gonna
33:57
Speaker 1: be beautiful.
34:00
Speaker 2: You're an LA kid, but have you adopted the Texans
34:03
Speaker 2: as your football team?
34:04
Speaker 1: I'm a supporter, says you be outside with the Texans
34:08
Speaker 1: the same way I'm a Laker fan, but I'm a
34:09
Speaker 1: Clipper supporter, right, So I'm a Rams fan, but I'm
34:13
Speaker 1: a Texan supporter.
34:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Plus, the Texans are the AFC. Rams
34:16
Speaker 2: are your NFC. So it's like it's fairy. The only
34:18
Speaker 2: time you really got to, you know, choose up is
34:20
Speaker 2: if they each play each other in the Super Bowl.
34:22
Speaker 1: It don't look like it's gonna be that. I don't think.
34:23
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna happen. Yeah, no, no, no,
34:25
Speaker 1: the odds of that would be fucking crazy.
34:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rams look like they're kind of you know, they're.
34:29
Speaker 1: Not brother hold on, hold on, it's probably gonna be rebuilding.
34:33
Speaker 1: And the Rams have a pattern. I don't know if
34:35
Speaker 1: you've noticed. Give us like three four years, ass, give
34:39
Speaker 1: us one strong year.
34:41
Speaker 2: Well, they've also been fucked with injuries like Cooper c Pooking,
34:44
Speaker 2: the coup is out.
34:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be. That's football, though, Yeah, that's football
34:49
Speaker 1: for sure. Look twenty we're twenty eighteen, twenty twenty two. Yeah,
34:56
Speaker 1: give us like twenty twenty six weeks. But you I
34:58
Speaker 1: think it's coming right back to La. The Rents be
35:01
Speaker 1: super hopefully. Shit, yeah, we'll see. Are you excited for
35:04
Speaker 1: the Lakers and JJ Reddick to be the coach? That's
35:07
Speaker 1: just sounds fake as fuck. Even you're saying that.
35:09
Speaker 2: That's just like him and Lebron doing a podcast after
35:11
Speaker 2: every game, and shit, that'd be funny if they didn't.
35:13
Speaker 1: Bro these niggas. You know, it's wild, though. I feel
35:16
Speaker 1: like the team chemistry will be there. I just don't
35:21
Speaker 1: think it's like championship team. No, it's just not a
35:23
Speaker 1: championship team. For sure, it's no championship team.
35:25
Speaker 2: But then you see the way Lebron and eighty played
35:27
Speaker 2: for Team USA, and you're like.
35:28
Speaker 1: You're were the can y'all do that ship for the Lakers?
35:32
Speaker 1: You know what I think it? You know, bro, like
35:34
Speaker 1: niggas be getting fed up? Yeah, I think people forget
35:36
Speaker 1: that like these at least we have an attitude personality
35:39
Speaker 1: like nigga, I'm making thirty month. There's a lot of
35:41
Speaker 1: egos in the locker room, and right, that's what I'm saying.
35:44
Speaker 1: I think these brown as men.
35:45
Speaker 2: When you're on the Lakers, they talk about you on
35:47
Speaker 2: TV all fucking day and there's Hollywood. Yeah, well there's
35:50
Speaker 2: just no way you don't even like if you try
35:52
Speaker 2: to ignore stephen A. Smith or whoever, skip Bay lists
35:55
Speaker 2: like that, shit will creep into your aura, Like you
35:58
Speaker 2: know what I mean, start playing like shit, thinking like
36:01
Speaker 2: you're on the Thunder, Like no one's talking about you
36:03
Speaker 2: on the fucking Thunder.
36:04
Speaker 1: Nigga. You can go to the Thunder and start dropping
36:06
Speaker 1: thirty at night, nigga, quiet.
36:07
Speaker 2: Nobody will say shit, Nick, Bro, That's what they barely
36:10
Speaker 2: just started giving love the shade this past year for real,
36:13
Speaker 2: like nationally, yeah, I mean like he's been bawling on
36:15
Speaker 2: the fucking thunder.
36:16
Speaker 1: I think this will be a big season for him.
36:18
Speaker 1: But you know what it is, though, is I forgot.
36:21
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't think a lot of people do this.
36:22
Speaker 1: We started looking at these NBA teams for what they are.
36:24
Speaker 1: Their businesses for sure, right and if these businesses is
36:27
Speaker 1: not fucking booming, you're not gonna put them on TV. Niggas,
36:30
Speaker 1: we don't care about them. Lakers, the Lakers. I think
36:32
Speaker 1: the Lakers is more than winning. It's more than one
36:35
Speaker 1: big business. It's big business. It's a fucking and Lebron
36:38
Speaker 1: is more than winning. He's Lebron. Yeah, you know what
36:40
Speaker 1: I mean, Like these are big ass brands. Like sure,
36:43
Speaker 1: It's like, how can I the Lakers are equivalent to
36:45
Speaker 1: an older artist that's torn off his ship from twenty
36:47
Speaker 1: years ago? It makes sense. Have you been to the
36:50
Speaker 1: Clippers new stadium now? Yet? It's fire bro, I need

37:32

Speaker 2: That's I was gonna say, like, just for people to
37:47
Speaker 2: know it's three one oh baby, not three ten baby.
37:51
Speaker 1: Do you know? I think it like when I when
37:53

Speaker 1: You buy cigarets eighteen, but not liquor.
38:35
Speaker 2: Correct, I mean I think the difference is is liquor.
38:42

38:49
