- 0:17Speaker 2: a blur. Yeah, it's been a while.
- 0:19Speaker 1: But we did it because we wanted to give back.

- 0:22Speaker 1: holiday season, and we wanted to create something where we
- 0:25Speaker 1: can give back to different organizations or to people that
- 0:28Speaker 1: just needed And we have helped so many people from
- 0:31Speaker 1: people that lost their house or needed stuff for their kids,

- 0:40Speaker 1: and people like yourself. So we salute you guys for
- 0:42Speaker 1: listening to us.
- 0:43Speaker 2: And it's come a long way, right because I mean,
- 0:45Speaker 2: think about it. We used to literally sit in the
- 0:47Speaker 2: studio for twenty four hours. Yeah, so we would literally
- 0:49Speaker 2: broadcast from six am in the morning to.
- 0:53Speaker 1: What wasn't midnight, midnight, midnight at night, and.
- 0:55Speaker 2: We was just literally shaking down, you know, cele our

- 1:25Speaker 2: the name of the organization, but it's a mental health
- 1:27Speaker 2: organization yep.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And then that's when it gets blurry for me, get blurody,
- 1:30Speaker 1: gets blurried for me too. But yeah, that was the
- 1:32Speaker 1: reason why we started it. And you know what we
- 1:34Speaker 1: started doing now is finding individual people because so many people,
- 1:37Speaker 1: especially out of after the pandemic, needs so much help.
- 1:39Speaker 1: So we try to do as much as we can.
- 1:41Speaker 1: But today we got a special guest that we're gonna
- 1:43Speaker 1: be kicking it with. Okay, you might know him as
- 1:46Speaker 1: the Monster from New York City. Probably one of the illest.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Producers, definitely one of the best ever.
- 1:55Speaker 1: He showed up for you several times, showed up to
- 1:57Speaker 1: me many times.
- 1:58Speaker 2: The first real money be made in this business was
- 2:01Speaker 2: because of this person.
- 2:02Speaker 1: That's right, So, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna be kicking

- 2:48Speaker 2: Everybody in the house is your little something man.
- 2:52Speaker 6: As a fact.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Enough, now, as we approach the holidays, what does this time.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Of year mean to you, Swiss? Oh man?
- 2:58Speaker 7: Holiday times is definitely family times and definitely time to
- 3:03Speaker 7: you know, see how other people are doing, because I notice,
- 3:07Speaker 7: like during the holiday times, I see a lot of
- 3:08Speaker 7: pressure come on people of what they can do and
- 3:11Speaker 7: what they can't do. And I just want to, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 7: I just want people to find their balance.
- 3:16Speaker 1: What do you find a time for a lot of
- 3:18Speaker 1: the stuff that you're doing because you're producing, you do
- 3:20Speaker 1: versus you're traveling, you have kids? What do you find
- 3:24Speaker 1: the time to continue to create and do all these
- 3:26Speaker 1: amazing things.
- 3:29Speaker 7: Everything I do is under the umbrother of creativity, So
- 3:32Speaker 7: like I make the time, and I need to stay busy,
- 3:36Speaker 7: you know, like that's the kids like to stay busy
- 3:38Speaker 7: because I don't feel I started yet. To be honest,
- 3:41Speaker 7: I feel like I'm just now starting. Although I've done
- 3:44Speaker 7: a lot of things. I feel like I'm just now
- 3:46Speaker 7: starting because I actually know what I'm doing now.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Oh, explain that, expounding on that you know what you're
- 3:51Speaker 2: doing now?
- 3:52Speaker 7: Yeah, because when I started, I was you know, I'm
- 3:55Speaker 7: a teenager and things was happening and moving so fast,
- 3:58Speaker 7: so you don't really know you're doing at that age.
- 4:01Speaker 6: You're just having fun. I still have fun.
- 4:04Speaker 7: But now that that's past, you got time to say, Okay,
- 4:07Speaker 7: let me change different things, let me set different goals.
- 4:10Speaker 7: I went back to school to to you know, the
- 4:13Speaker 7: three years to know what I'm actually doing instead of
- 4:17Speaker 7: just doing what people are telling me that I'm doing,
- 4:20Speaker 7: or believing what somebody's telling me I'm doing, instead of
- 4:23Speaker 7: really knowing what I'm doing.
- 4:24Speaker 6: It's a big difference.
- 4:25Speaker 1: What's your favorite holiday memory? Is it New York and
- 4:28Speaker 1: the Bronx?

- 5:20Speaker 7: And Dad was just counting the paper like he's addicted
- 5:23Speaker 7: to money.
- 5:23Speaker 6: I'm telling like serious, yeah, like he.
- 5:27Speaker 2: And I said, do you have any what's your expectations
- 5:29Speaker 2: for the holidays, because you know, you you your dad's
- 5:32Speaker 2: been doing very well for a very long time. So
- 5:34Speaker 2: do you do you even have any wants?
- 5:37Speaker 5: I just want I want everyone to tune in to drive.
- 5:42Speaker 5: But we just made okay coming out on November sixteenth,
- 5:45Speaker 5: and I want I want everyone to just really cherish
- 5:48Speaker 5: this time with their family, Like that's what I want.
- 5:50Speaker 5: I don't really have a lot of physical needs this year.
- 5:52Speaker 5: I have spiritual needs. I have family needs, and I
- 5:55Speaker 5: want people to really just just cherish this time with
- 5:58Speaker 5: their loved ones right now, because the state that the
- 6:00Speaker 5: world is in right now, it's just really we need that.
- 6:03Speaker 6: That's real.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about the show Drive right now. Drive
- 6:06Speaker 1: is a car show that comes out Most people don't
- 6:08Speaker 1: know that. Anytime before I purchase a car, I caught
- 6:11Speaker 1: Swizz and then when I get the car, I FaceTime Squizz.
- 6:15Speaker 1: So if a FaceTime ever comes up, Swizz be in
- 6:18Speaker 1: the bed sleeping and he wake up. What did you
- 6:20Speaker 1: get now, V, what did you get?
- 6:21Speaker 4: Like?
- 6:21Speaker 1: We're so excited for cars, So let's talk about Drive
- 6:24Speaker 1: and what made you want to do the show Drive?
- 6:27Speaker 7: Well, growing up in the Bronx looking at cars passing
- 6:30Speaker 7: in the hood that I couldn't afford. That's my car,
- 6:33Speaker 7: that's my car. I eventually got. My first car was
- 6:36Speaker 7: the Nissan Z three hundred twin turbo. I paid six
- 6:40Speaker 7: thousand for it at the time, and ever since then
- 6:43Speaker 7: I just been into cars and collecting and ended up
- 6:46Speaker 7: doing car shows. So when this opportunity came, I just
- 6:49Speaker 7: just like, man, like, you know, I have a chance
- 6:51Speaker 7: to not just do a car show, but do a
- 6:53Speaker 7: show that doesn't exist in the car space, which is
- 6:57Speaker 7: travel community. Family, father and son you know, you don't
- 7:01Speaker 7: really get to see father and son bonds from our community.
- 7:05Speaker 6: That's positive. So I thought that that was a plus.
- 7:08Speaker 7: And we wanted to educate people and not just show
- 7:12Speaker 7: blame cars, not just putting million dollar cars up, but
- 7:15Speaker 7: really showing the everyday person how they make magic as well,
- 7:20Speaker 7: you know, and which I think is phenomenal.
- 7:22Speaker 6: I was like working with each other, my little brother,
- 7:27Speaker 6: we have.
- 7:28Speaker 5: So much fun, like it's not even funny, Like we
- 7:30Speaker 5: don't really have we have perfect synthesis. We don't we
- 7:35Speaker 5: don't have to work with each other very very well.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, you know what, you guys went
- 7:41Speaker 1: to different markets, so you see in the car culture
- 7:43Speaker 1: in New York, you know, the call coaching in Houston,
- 7:45Speaker 1: in California, What was your favorite car culture and why
- 7:50Speaker 1: I love Japan? Japan.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Japan is definitely one of my favorite episodes because the architecture,
- 7:57Speaker 5: the culture there, they're like five hundred years is ahead
- 8:00Speaker 5: of us, right, every single every single thing that they
- 8:04Speaker 5: do there.
- 8:05Speaker 4: They're so masterful with it.
- 8:07Speaker 5: So when we want to go see the drifting and
- 8:09Speaker 5: we want to actually go drift with the Tokyo drifters,
- 8:13Speaker 5: the drift champion again, we just saw how crazy like
- 8:17Speaker 5: skillful they were for us to put our lives in
- 8:19Speaker 5: their hands and for them to actually, you know, be
- 8:22Speaker 5: able to handle that.
- 8:24Speaker 4: You know, they were good.
- 8:25Speaker 2: When you say five hundred years into the future, Like.
- 8:27Speaker 5: What do you mean, Like, you know, America is a
- 8:29Speaker 5: young confident like Asia is five is way older and culturally.
- 8:35Speaker 2: And I'm talking about the technology that historically oh no, no,
- 8:39Speaker 2: we're not flying.
- 8:40Speaker 5: But but and in terms of them being masterful every
- 8:47Speaker 5: single thing they do, whether it's making a drink, cutting ice, designing,
- 8:50Speaker 5: doing anime, comic book sketches, architecture, painting clothes.
- 8:55Speaker 4: We go there for inspiration. So being over.
- 8:57Speaker 5: There to go into the depth of their culture was
- 9:00Speaker 5: like that was definitely one of my favorite episodes.
- 9:03Speaker 4: And you'll see why.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I was going to ask. You know, one thing if
- 9:07Speaker 1: you don't know, Swiss is a major collector, right, He
- 9:09Speaker 1: collects a lot, whether it's watches, whether it's artwork. He
- 9:13Speaker 1: got me into artwork early. And cars. Swiss was the
- 9:16Speaker 1: first person. You know, Usually people say when you buy
- 9:18Speaker 1: a car, you lose money, but Swiss has figured a
- 9:20Speaker 1: way that the cars that he purchased, whether they're small,
- 9:23Speaker 1: or big. He always makes money and knows when to
- 9:26Speaker 1: get out of him and he calls. So what do
- 9:28Speaker 1: you think about your dad's call collection? And how did
- 9:31Speaker 1: you get to the knowledge of learning cars like the
- 9:33Speaker 1: way that you do, Because most people say your cars
- 9:35Speaker 1: are a bad investment, but you figured that out Dad's
- 9:39Speaker 1: called collection.
- 9:39Speaker 5: Everyone thinks that my dad has an endless line of
- 9:42Speaker 5: cars in the garage, right, and this is a misconception.
- 9:46Speaker 5: He used to have a lot of cars in his
- 9:49Speaker 5: younger days, and now he's just really curated the list
- 9:54Speaker 5: of cars that he does have. So it is is
- 9:56Speaker 5: way more like I said, curated in the sense of
- 9:59Speaker 5: it's just not buying anything to buy anything, just because
- 10:03Speaker 5: it's with purpose and it's with a plan in fact.
- 10:06Speaker 5: So I've just been observing that.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Is he let you drive any of his costs.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't really ask him like that.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'll just take like the one million dollar call, the
- 10:14Speaker 1: one that four million dollars, Just take it around the
- 10:16Speaker 1: block one time.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Yeah, he would let me, You would let me.
- 10:20Speaker 2: He can't fit You wouldn't let me, he would let
- 10:23Speaker 2: You wouldn't let me, right.
- 10:26Speaker 7: You know how big hiss He can't fit in he had,
- 10:30Speaker 7: he dropped, he drove the life and his knees was
- 10:32Speaker 7: on the like in the dad.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right.
- 10:35Speaker 7: Remember that to just help y'all bond.
- 10:39Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure y'all already had a great bond,
- 10:40Speaker 2: but it helped y'all bond even more.
- 10:42Speaker 7: Yeah, because you know, like we have kids, and we
- 10:45Speaker 7: love our kids, but it's nothing like spending like uninterrupted
- 10:49Speaker 7: quality time. And we would wake up every day, every
- 10:52Speaker 7: morning together every day, you know, and just communicate.
- 10:57Speaker 6: And we did.
- 10:57Speaker 7: We did the Gumbo three thousand for his eighteenth birthday.
- 11:01Speaker 7: And where did we drive from?
- 11:02Speaker 4: We went from making those to Abiza.
- 11:04Speaker 7: From making those to Abiza the longest drive of my life.
- 11:08Speaker 7: Then they gave us the car with the standwheel on
- 11:10Speaker 7: the wrong side, which made it even worse. But that
- 11:14Speaker 7: was a sign because everybody was racing to go to
- 11:16Speaker 7: these different finish lines and the car with the standwheel
- 11:19Speaker 7: being on the on the wrong side, it made me
- 11:22Speaker 7: slow down, and it made us have to spend time
- 11:25Speaker 7: together and vibe during that trip. And our favorite song
- 11:29Speaker 7: was what the whole time?
- 11:30Speaker 5: I Follow Rivers by Leaky Lee, I Follow.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Who's your favorite road trip partner Swiss and I say
- 11:40Speaker 2: dm X because we always hear about the stories of
- 11:42Speaker 2: you were next in the car that was legendary.
- 11:46Speaker 6: That's a hard one.
- 11:48Speaker 7: I gotta I got I love you, but I gotta say, DMX,
- 11:51Speaker 7: you too.
- 11:52Speaker 4: For a lot, for a lot of for a lot.
- 11:54Speaker 7: Of other reasons. You know, X was X was very animated.
- 12:01Speaker 7: Nasa is laid back. He get animated when he wants to.
- 12:04Speaker 7: But I would get to hear stories from from X
- 12:06Speaker 7: that I never heard before when we're in the car,
- 12:10Speaker 7: Like the last car ride we drove. I went to
- 12:12Speaker 7: go visit him in like upstate New York, and he
- 12:14Speaker 7: wanted to go see Scarface in Boston. And he's like, yo,
- 12:20Speaker 7: you know you know Scarfaces in Boston tonight. And I said, okay,
- 12:23Speaker 7: shout up to Scarface. You know, I just drove like
- 12:27Speaker 7: two hours to go where he was at in the
- 12:29Speaker 7: first place. And this one I had the seven twenty
- 12:33Speaker 7: mcclan so it's a sports car. And I used to
- 12:36Speaker 7: always bring the cars up so X could drive them
- 12:38Speaker 7: around when I when I visit him, and he's like
- 12:41Speaker 7: hinting again, I want to go see Scarface.
- 12:44Speaker 6: I'm like, you want to go. You want me to
- 12:47Speaker 6: take you to see Scarface. I just drove two hours.
- 12:50Speaker 7: And he never really asked me for things like that,
- 12:52Speaker 7: so I can tell that it was something that he
- 12:54Speaker 7: really wanted to do.
- 12:55Speaker 6: So we get in the We get in the car.
- 12:57Speaker 6: We go five hours to see Scarface.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Wow.
- 13:01Speaker 1: And the whole I was in a little ass card.
- 13:03Speaker 1: It wasn't escalate. It's a little call like his arms
- 13:06Speaker 1: and their arms were touching.
- 13:07Speaker 7: The whole rock my ass still heard from that drive.
- 13:11Speaker 7: And so we're driving and he's playing old school music,
- 13:14Speaker 7: old school music, and then he stops the music and
- 13:20Speaker 7: he asked me to record him, which he never does,
- 13:23Speaker 7: and he just like gave me his life story, like
- 13:26Speaker 7: like I never heard it before.
- 13:28Speaker 6: Wow.
- 13:28Speaker 7: And that was our last drive, but it was it
- 13:31Speaker 7: was epic.
- 13:32Speaker 5: Wow.
- 13:33Speaker 2: You still have you? Of course you have.
- 13:35Speaker 7: Absolutely, yes, yes and uh. And we went on stage
- 13:39Speaker 7: and he rocked with Scarface.
- 13:41Speaker 6: Wow all night.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Is it time for a DMX documentary, a true d
- 13:46Speaker 1: DMX movie.
- 13:48Speaker 7: It's always time to witness greatness. But I feel that
- 13:52Speaker 7: it just has to be me personally. I just wanted
- 13:55Speaker 7: to be shot and directed like to the standard of
- 14:00Speaker 7: what he gave us. He gave us timeless moments. He
- 14:03Speaker 7: gave us, you know, his his life literally and so
- 14:08Speaker 7: I feel that, you know a lot of people have
- 14:09Speaker 7: been pitching, uh, documentaries and movies, but they don't you know,
- 14:14Speaker 7: it needs to have the right care. And I wanted
- 14:17Speaker 7: to be the biggest thing in the world for him.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Now, did you learn anything about your dad that you
- 14:22Speaker 2: didn't know? No, after working on this series, taking these long.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Road trips, Yeah, a thousand percent.
- 14:27Speaker 5: I learned that he he doesn't go as fast as
- 14:33Speaker 5: you think. He would have fast, very fast cars, like
- 14:37Speaker 5: he actually is pretty reserved now. And uh, he just
- 14:42Speaker 5: he really picks what he wants to do. He picks
- 14:44Speaker 5: how fast he wants to go, He picks if he
- 14:46Speaker 5: wants to get in the monster truck, he picks if
- 14:48Speaker 5: he wants to go drifting like he has that uh,
- 14:51Speaker 5: that situational discernment.
- 14:53Speaker 6: Now, I feel like that's pretty much discernment.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I like that. I was gonna ask you, with all
- 14:57Speaker 1: the artists that your dad worked with, who did you
- 15:00Speaker 1: enjoy listening to and talking to the most?
- 15:04Speaker 5: I have too, because I haven't really I haven't sat
- 15:07Speaker 5: down with the first one.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I'm about to.
- 15:08Speaker 5: Tell you like on a personal personal note, but Lil
- 15:12Speaker 5: Wayne is definitely one of my favorite artists ever and
- 15:17Speaker 5: and not my dad has collabor with as well.
- 15:21Speaker 4: It was really I really like.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Dad's worked.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I remember being a kid and like his
- 15:33Speaker 5: energy just lit up the room and he he has
- 15:37Speaker 5: such a great spirit I can feel and I remember
- 15:39Speaker 5: that feeling till this day.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Now, you know you said for real now that this
- 15:43Speaker 1: is your dad's pressure. Now, Bust a couple of probably
- 15:47Speaker 1: about a month ago, said he's doing an album where Pharrell,
- 15:51Speaker 1: Timberland and Swiss Beats or the EPs. How how does
- 15:58Speaker 1: that happen?
- 15:59Speaker 7: You know, Buster is somebody that don't back down easy.
- 16:02Speaker 7: You can't tell him no. And he signed us up
- 16:05Speaker 7: for his project and we just said, okay, let's do it.
- 16:10Speaker 7: And he came, He's like, you know you tam for real,
- 16:14Speaker 7: y'all my producers for the project. I'm like, okay, no,
- 16:19Speaker 7: the executive producers okay. And then I don't know, like
- 16:24Speaker 7: somehow we actually all got into a space which is
- 16:27Speaker 7: a photo of us on this boat, and I'm sitting here,
- 16:30Speaker 7: I'm like, yo, he really manifested this, Like we didn't
- 16:33Speaker 7: even plan to be on that boat at that time.
- 16:34Speaker 7: It's not like, okay, let's have an executive producer boat ride.
- 16:39Speaker 7: Like we just all ended up sitting there and I'm
- 16:41Speaker 7: looking around like, okay, I hear the universe.
- 16:44Speaker 6: Okay, I guess we're doing it.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Is it done? Is it almost done?
- 16:48Speaker 7: It's done, and it needs to come out now, you know,
- 16:52Speaker 7: because Buster Hole onto an album for thirty summer ever.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Right, but this might be a stupid question.
- 16:58Speaker 2: He's named after Nas. Yeah, okay, yeah, it's not like
- 17:02Speaker 2: if God bothers something, I just just no.
- 17:05Speaker 4: My mom's from Queya.
- 17:07Speaker 6: His mothers loved Nas. You know. I was kind of
- 17:09Speaker 6: conflicted in a way.
- 17:10Speaker 5: But.
- 17:14Speaker 6: Yeah, saying but then I was like, shit, I love
- 17:17Speaker 6: Nas too. You know.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Everybody always ask about versus man, what's.
- 17:24Speaker 6: Up with versus? Big things? Big things?
- 17:28Speaker 1: You know.
- 17:29Speaker 7: I'm happy that me and Tim was able to take
- 17:31Speaker 7: the time to understand our company because when we launched
- 17:35Speaker 7: it, it was during the pandemic. Things is happening, Like we
- 17:38Speaker 7: never got no rest, you know, like we was helping
- 17:41Speaker 7: everybody else feel better and have something to go to
- 17:46Speaker 7: other than the negative news and energy at that time,
- 17:50Speaker 7: but we didn't take time for ourself. And so things
- 17:53Speaker 7: went fast and we own the We own the company
- 17:56Speaker 7: one hundred percent again, which is super fresh, and we
- 18:00Speaker 7: got some big announcements coming.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if it's something I mean, I know
- 18:05Speaker 2: it's something artists still want to do. But you know,
- 18:07Speaker 2: during the pandemic, it was more pure because it was
- 18:09Speaker 2: just about the music. Now it's so much business and
- 18:12Speaker 2: red tape involved.
- 18:13Speaker 7: Yeah, and naturally when something gets big like that, that happens.
- 18:17Speaker 7: But you know versus and I tell people because I
- 18:20Speaker 7: had people on the shows and when you bring up verses,
- 18:23Speaker 7: they're like, oh, I don't want to and it's not.
- 18:26Speaker 6: A battle show.
- 18:28Speaker 7: It's a show where two artists celebrating each other with
- 18:33Speaker 7: their hits. Now, if you want to make it a battle,
- 18:35Speaker 7: I'm not going to say, hey, don't talk tough to
- 18:39Speaker 7: this guy. You make it a battle, or you can
- 18:43Speaker 7: make it a love fest. You know, like there's been
- 18:45Speaker 7: many verses that has been smooth and loving. But with
- 18:50Speaker 7: the hip hop is just the ego. You know how
- 18:52Speaker 7: it's competitive?
- 18:53Speaker 1: Bro, you put the locks and Dipset on stage.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I'm saying and.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Everybody, I think a lot of people thought Dipset was
- 18:58Speaker 1: going to take that one away.
- 19:00Speaker 7: I know many people thought that the dip set was
- 19:03Speaker 7: going to and then it was Jada, Yeah, you got
- 19:06Speaker 7: the right hat on what was the biggest verses for
- 19:11Speaker 7: you as far as culture? Would that be the biggest?
- 19:13Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 19:14Speaker 7: That and Gucci Man and Jez absolutely, yeah, those two,
- 19:18Speaker 7: because that's what verses do it. You know, it took
- 19:22Speaker 7: two guys that really went to war to the point
- 19:25Speaker 7: of no return, and Versus gave them an outlet to,
- 19:30Speaker 7: you know, send a different message out there to the
- 19:32Speaker 7: youth today because they're not who they was fifteen years ago.
- 19:36Speaker 7: But there's no outlets that can let you as a man,
- 19:40Speaker 7: as a you know, stand on how you feel and
- 19:43Speaker 7: move past from it. And this is why you know,
- 19:46Speaker 7: I could if I stopped Versus today, I would be
- 19:48Speaker 7: fine because we want already like it did what it
- 19:52Speaker 7: needed to do, but it needs to do more. Because Versus,
- 19:57Speaker 7: the people's streams go up seven hundred percent.
- 19:59Speaker 6: People sell out, they toars. It's so we call it
- 20:02Speaker 6: the Versus effect.
- 20:04Speaker 7: And the artists get so much from Versus And so
- 20:07Speaker 7: all the artists out there who's listening to this, please
- 20:10Speaker 7: stop trying to charge us more than you ever made
- 20:12Speaker 7: on your show, you know, show us the love that
- 20:16Speaker 7: you showed those other outlets that you don't get nothing
- 20:19Speaker 7: from it, you know. And so that was the thing
- 20:23Speaker 7: that was like the hardest thing was hearing the artists
- 20:26Speaker 7: trying to overdo.
- 20:27Speaker 6: It for no reason.
- 20:28Speaker 1: I got to ask because there there's been a lot
- 20:29Speaker 1: of rumors about some verses that were hopefully we'll still
- 20:32Speaker 1: get done and you just say yes and no.
- 20:35Speaker 6: I don't want to say yes and no.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Diddio Jermain dupra is that going to happen?
- 20:38Speaker 2: He just said he don't want to see you.
- 20:39Speaker 1: I know, but I'm asking anyway.
- 20:40Speaker 7: But the reason see, because I'm not scared to answer
- 20:44Speaker 7: the question, by the way, But what happens is this
- 20:47Speaker 7: clip right here gets played back to me and it's like, yo,
- 20:51Speaker 7: I didn't really want to confirm that yet by byah bayh,
- 20:53Speaker 7: and I have to deal with this offline and say, Yo,
- 20:56Speaker 7: they asked me a question. Y'all went out there and
- 20:58Speaker 7: did a promo run, and y'all went out there and
- 21:00Speaker 7: said y'all wanted to do it. All I did was
- 21:02Speaker 7: confirm with you. I said yeah, but that was a
- 21:04Speaker 7: different time. But this is the Versus documentary has been
- 21:08Speaker 7: We've been shooting the documentary since the beginning the verses,
- 21:11Speaker 7: so lean away is the directing.
- 21:16Speaker 6: Y'all going to see all of this when I'm telling you,
- 21:18Speaker 6: I take for it.
- 21:19Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, doctor Dre I'm just kidding, doctor Dre
- 21:23Speaker 8: Versus who I heard that they was at one time
- 21:26Speaker 8: he wanted it was possibly could happen one hundred percent.
- 21:31Speaker 6: I don't think. I don't think any of those are
- 21:33Speaker 6: off the table.
- 21:35Speaker 2: I want to ask you, and I said, when it
- 21:37Speaker 2: comes to having a legendary father like Swiss, do you
- 21:41Speaker 2: feel pressure or freedom to succeed?
- 21:46Speaker 5: I feel to succeed. Pressure comes with the territory. I
- 21:49Speaker 5: feel like the person that my father is. I feel
- 21:52Speaker 5: freedom and inspiration too. But you know, there's there are
- 21:55Speaker 5: still moments into which we have conversations about out why
- 22:00Speaker 5: the pressure is necessary, why uh diamonds don't fall off trees.
- 22:07Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 22:08Speaker 5: You have to really really uh hone all your energy
- 22:11Speaker 5: into something that you're doing. And when I or how
- 22:16Speaker 5: I've like translated the position that I'm in, it was
- 22:19Speaker 5: never it was never a pressure or or an envious thing.
- 22:24Speaker 5: It was always like a very a very home grown,
- 22:28Speaker 5: natural inspirational thing.
- 22:30Speaker 4: And and and like.
- 22:31Speaker 5: I said, pressure comes with anything you want to do,
- 22:33Speaker 5: especially if you want to be great.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I like how you touch his shoulder, said, envious thing.
- 22:40Speaker 6: What's going on?
- 22:43Speaker 2: What kind of pressure do you put?
- 22:45Speaker 7: I put real pressure on him to be himself and
- 22:48Speaker 7: to not follow the trends and to set his own state,
- 22:52Speaker 7: set his own lane, because you know that a lot
- 22:55Speaker 7: of people naturally gravitate towards him because of a family.
- 23:00Speaker 7: But my thing is I put the pressure on him
- 23:03Speaker 7: to distinguish who's going what's what? You know, Like a
- 23:06Speaker 7: person might give him a gift, and I get on
- 23:08Speaker 7: him about that gift. I'm like, yo, well why did
- 23:10Speaker 7: this person give you that gift?
- 23:12Speaker 6: Like why you know? Find like, tell me the why.
- 23:16Speaker 7: If you can't tell me the why and you can't
- 23:18Speaker 7: give that person a gift back, don't take the gift, right, true,
- 23:21Speaker 7: you know, because people may be setting up their plays
- 23:24Speaker 7: and you know, and it's you know, it's a very
- 23:29Speaker 7: very scary world out it's different, right, it's different outside.
