Speaker 4: Appreciate it, thank you for having sure glad to be

3:01
Speaker 4: right into it. You know, we got the product right there,
3:05
Speaker 4: replacement P. You were talking about something told about product
3:08
Speaker 4: off camera. So where are we at with rap Snacks
3:11
Speaker 4: Because it's an interesting story. I believe the company originally
3:14
Speaker 4: started in nineteen ninety four and this is the relaunch
3:16
Speaker 4: and for me, it's dope to see, like Cardi B
3:19
Speaker 4: and Little Boosy reminds me of like a Wheati's box,
3:22
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like the Beaties box exactly exactly.
3:26
Speaker 4: So where are we at with Rap Snacks in twenty
3:29
Speaker 4: twenty one.
3:30
Speaker 7: We're basically, man, rap Snacks is you know, we're like,
3:33
Speaker 7: you know, envision that Rap Snacks is going to be
3:36
Speaker 7: the biggest brand in the world, you know, eventually, because
3:40
Speaker 7: we in come with the culture of hip hop. But
3:43
Speaker 7: our brand is outside the box. You know, It's not
3:46
Speaker 7: something that people are kind of used to, you know,
3:49
Speaker 7: today's world. They want some disruptive something, you know that's
3:53
Speaker 7: right in their face. But the secret to our success
3:55
Speaker 7: is actually the product can help well, it chases you know.
4:00
Speaker 7: I was the first one to create a honey barbecue
4:02
Speaker 7: ptakeiship years ago, right, And I've always noticed that a
4:06
Speaker 7: lot of these other brands they have, you know, flavor
4:09
Speaker 7: profiles that are kind of bland and not really what
4:13
Speaker 7: I would say that you know, come up kid from
4:15
Speaker 7: Inner City would really want. You want something that is
4:18
Speaker 7: bold and something that's flavorful. So if you open the
4:21
Speaker 7: back of Rap Snacks, man, we're flavor profiles and we
4:23
Speaker 7: got two times a season as somebody else's product out
4:27
Speaker 7: there in the marketplace, you know, And I'm one of
4:28
Speaker 7: them guys. I'm a nice guy, but if I go
4:30
Speaker 7: out in the marketplace, and it says, a honey barbecue
4:33
Speaker 7: on my bag and it tastes like a plane ship.
4:35
Speaker 6: I'm mad, I.
4:39
Speaker 8: Mean, but just to be real, you know, James matters
4:42
Speaker 8: about it. A lot of that stuff, you know, it
4:45
Speaker 8: don't taste as good as raps nock. And we've been
4:49
Speaker 8: supporting that for years, and were changing that narrative because
4:52
Speaker 8: it's us owning products and we're, like James say, we're
4:55
Speaker 8: not just making it for people that look like us.
4:58
Speaker 8: We're making product for the world. So they do it
5:01
Speaker 8: all the time with us. They use us, they use
5:05
Speaker 8: our imagery, they use our culture, and then we promote
5:10
Speaker 8: these brands and we have no ownership. Were changing that
5:14
Speaker 8: narrative to where now we're making big brands for the
5:17
Speaker 8: world for humans, not just a black, white, Latino Indian thing.
5:22
Speaker 6: This is for everybody.
5:23
Speaker 8: So when you pick up a rap Snacks, you pick
5:25
Speaker 8: up a biggest small bag or called it b you
5:28
Speaker 8: know that this is for the world.
5:29
Speaker 6: And we expanding in the product.
5:32
Speaker 8: And so that's where we changing the game at putting
5:34
Speaker 8: some diversity on these shelves to where it's us having
5:39
Speaker 8: products on the shelves so we could feed our families,
5:41
Speaker 8: feed our communities. Our motel is the more we make,
5:44
Speaker 8: the more we give. You know, I'll give you a
5:46
Speaker 8: prime example.
5:47
Speaker 7: You know, if you go to Jackson, Mississippi, which is
5:50
Speaker 7: one of our most you know, Southern marketplaces, and if
5:54
Speaker 7: you go into the stores that we sell to Less
5:57
Speaker 7: and Warman Sital stores are owned by minorities, yeah, or
6:00
Speaker 7: you know people that look like us, you know. And
6:03
Speaker 7: what we always say that our communities are over extracted,
6:06
Speaker 7: you know, because what happens is everything is going is
6:09
Speaker 7: going out and nothing it's coming back in because we
6:11
Speaker 7: don't own any of the products other than the rap
6:14
Speaker 7: snacks and some of the items that we're trying to
6:15
Speaker 7: put together, man p trying to put together.
6:18
Speaker 8: We consumers because not producers, right, So we have to
6:21
Speaker 8: change that narrative.
6:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's kind of you know, we always say
6:24
Speaker 7: it's deeper than rap snacks.
6:28
Speaker 2: So, I mean it started in ninety four, but obviously
6:32
Speaker 2: the name rap, we know, hip hop influences the world,
6:35
Speaker 2: not just hip hop music and fashion, like it infects
6:38
Speaker 2: everything in the world absolutely. And so in two thousand
6:40
Speaker 2: and three you decide to put rap images. What was
6:43
Speaker 2: like the idea, like you saw what it was doing
6:45
Speaker 2: and said, you know what, we got to put the
6:46
Speaker 2: most popular people in the world on our products.
6:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, what I did?
6:49
Speaker 7: I you know, I was telling one of the guys
6:52
Speaker 7: out in the lobby that our approached Universe and Music group.
6:56
Speaker 6: You know.
6:57
Speaker 7: Lady was Jackie Reinhardt. She was the president of Universal Marketing,
7:02
Speaker 7: And I said, Jackie, y'all spending all this money on
7:05
Speaker 7: you know, these stickers and posters that people taking down
7:08
Speaker 7: every day, you know. You know, yeah, I said, y'all
7:13
Speaker 7: can give y'all can give me that money, you know,
7:15
Speaker 7: I can put it on my bag, you know chips.
7:17
Speaker 7: And it's something that they're going to use not only
7:20
Speaker 7: as a silvern air, but they're going to use it
7:22
Speaker 7: as it's a fact finding mission, you know, like all right,
7:24
Speaker 7: you know, let me go in the back of the
7:25
Speaker 7: bag and scan you know, our cold you are cold
7:29
Speaker 7: and see more information about your artists.
7:31
Speaker 6: You know.
7:31
Speaker 7: So I kind of, you know, be saying, Philly, I
7:34
Speaker 7: kind of flipped the script on them a little bit,
7:36
Speaker 7: you know, and I'm like, hey, you know, why not
7:39
Speaker 7: you know, add another option to what you guys are marketing.
7:42
Speaker 7: And that was really the creation of putting rap snacks,
7:45
Speaker 7: you know, on artists on the Rap Snacks bag.
7:48
Speaker 6: Before that, we had MC potato in the bag.
7:52
Speaker 9: So right, I know, little little Romeo was the person
7:55
Speaker 9: on the honey Bomber.
7:56
Speaker 7: Yes, you know, yeah, so you know, let me just
7:58
Speaker 7: tell you that, you know, so how I'm at P
8:01
Speaker 7: was you know he was actually had his label at
8:03
Speaker 7: Universal people over there, you know, and got that bag
8:06
Speaker 7: from him.
8:09
Speaker 6: Over there, right so you know, and I got.
8:11
Speaker 7: A call you know from Pace like, man, I really
8:13
Speaker 7: like what you're doing, you know what I mean?
8:15
Speaker 6: I said, well, I appreciate that, man. You know.
8:17
Speaker 7: So you know, this is always always tell people in
8:19
Speaker 7: my interviews that me and P like brothers because the
8:22
Speaker 7: line is that we've kind of grown into understanding, you know,
8:26
Speaker 7: you know who does what. You know what I'm saying,
8:28
Speaker 7: I'm the creative of all the products and what have you.
8:32
Speaker 7: You know, P goes out in the Marcus. He has
8:33
Speaker 7: a big brand, you know, and we we.
8:36
Speaker 6: Really will That's what. Let me tell you something.
8:44
Speaker 8: Me, I'd be ready to go we get a product.
8:46
Speaker 8: I'm like, James put this out right now, like now, bro,
8:50
Speaker 8: we gotta get it. You know, he from Philadelphia. Brother,
8:53
Speaker 8: I'm like, dude, listen at this money. He's like, no, bro, listen, listen,
8:57
Speaker 8: get it straight. We're gonna make sure it tastes good.
8:59
Speaker 8: He's hoodie, who's this should have been out? James had
9:04
Speaker 8: to taste this thing thirty time and I'm like, you
9:07
Speaker 8: know what, but when when the magic came?
9:09
Speaker 6: The magic came. So that's what's good. We balance each
9:12
Speaker 6: other off.
9:13
Speaker 8: And I think that's what's good about this because even
9:15
Speaker 8: the noodles at first, you know, we know we came
9:17
Speaker 8: up with something good because we was like, you know what,
9:20
Speaker 8: We've been eating noodles all our lives, but we never
9:22
Speaker 8: owned it. And so you know, I'm like, James, we
9:25
Speaker 8: got to get this out now, and he was like,
9:28
Speaker 8: you know, we got to find the right place to
9:30
Speaker 8: make this. You know, all these different things that would
9:32
Speaker 8: create a business. You gotta trust the process. Our people
9:35
Speaker 8: don't want to trust the process. But we figured out
9:37
Speaker 8: in this in our journey, like James said, way back then,
9:40
Speaker 8: nobody believed but us. Me and James have been on
9:44
Speaker 8: little planes, little places, going to these factors and stuff
9:47
Speaker 8: trying to make this happen. This man really is a genius.
9:50
Speaker 8: He don't get the problem. We done helped a lot
9:52
Speaker 8: of people into the game. But now we able to
9:54
Speaker 8: take our business and we built PJ Foods and taking
9:58
Speaker 8: this to another level because we got to start thinking
10:00
Speaker 8: and stop taking companies public. And that's where wives come
10:04
Speaker 8: in at because in the foundation part, I just think
10:07
Speaker 8: that what we created, our people are gonna be proud
10:11
Speaker 8: hundreds of years from now saying look what we've done,
10:14
Speaker 8: because we got all kind of products and this all
10:16
Speaker 8: started from potato chips, but expanding our brand and expanding
10:21
Speaker 8: our minds setting whatever they could do, we could do
10:24
Speaker 8: it better. But this man know how to make sure
10:26
Speaker 8: it tastes good. That's the way you say you can
10:28
Speaker 8: put in a brown.
10:28
Speaker 6: Paper bag right now, they're gonna buy it if it
10:30
Speaker 6: tastes They don't.
10:31
Speaker 7: You know, but you know learning is part of you know,
10:34
Speaker 7: of course the financial litergy, right you know, like I
10:37
Speaker 7: know that when we make this product out there and
10:39
Speaker 7: put it on the shelves, it got to be ten
10:40
Speaker 7: times better than other products in the marketplace. You know,
10:44
Speaker 7: we can have Jesus on the back that parduct can
10:47
Speaker 7: good in the side. They ain't buying it, especially.
10:49
Speaker 8: Us, because you know, we gonna we gonna criticize it.
10:53
Speaker 6: Like man I don't like that. Man.
10:55
Speaker 8: They got to give us a chance, like we got
10:58
Speaker 8: to get a chance to get this out there. And
11:00
Speaker 8: so that's what the imbalance is when you talk about
11:03
Speaker 8: economic empowerment. We don't own nothing because we don't trust
11:07
Speaker 8: the process with us. We let all these companies grow
11:09
Speaker 8: and get better, and we don't mind promote marketing them
11:12
Speaker 8: buying a product, but we don't do it for us.
11:14
Speaker 8: And I told Jane, we're gonna change that narrative. This
11:17
Speaker 8: is not only you're gonna see raps next Uncle Pete product.
11:20
Speaker 8: You're gonna see thousands of people that look like us
11:22
Speaker 8: that own products and brands because we go and kick
11:25
Speaker 8: these doors open.
11:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know. And it's to add to that peek.
11:28
Speaker 7: If y'all going to a supermarket, you'll see all these sections.
11:31
Speaker 7: You'll see, you know, a Hispanic section which is Goyer, Gore,
11:34
Speaker 7: here's a three big.
11:35
Speaker 6: And our company right, all Hispanic products. Right. You'll go
11:39
Speaker 6: to another section where.
11:44
Speaker 7: I have that you don't have any one section right,
11:47
Speaker 7: And I want to bring us up because this is important,
11:49
Speaker 7: because this is how we're going to change and really
11:51
Speaker 7: change the narrative. Because without distribution, you can have the
11:54
Speaker 7: best product in the world and nobody gets to change
11:56
Speaker 7: and taste it.
11:57
Speaker 6: You know, you're not gonna get it's not gonna go anywhere.
12:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, So our philosophy is to be able to you know,
12:03
Speaker 7: start with rap snacks, but also build it out with
12:05
Speaker 7: other products that when people want to buy our stuff
12:07
Speaker 7: from the culture, they can go through one section in
12:09
Speaker 7: the store like they're buying you know, any product in
12:13
Speaker 7: Macy's and they know that they're buying.
12:15
Speaker 4: You know, that's a valid point. I never thought of
12:18
Speaker 4: that before because I go to the grocery store in
12:20
Speaker 4: my neighborhood and it's definitely like the Indian section, Chinese section,
12:25
Speaker 4: and I've never I've never seen an African American section.
12:28
Speaker 7: You've because because the thing of it is is that
12:32
Speaker 7: we've had products out there, but they didn't represent our culture.
12:35
Speaker 7: Uncle Ben and your mama, right, you know all the
12:37
Speaker 7: story behind that straight. Yeah, Me and p we talked
12:40
Speaker 7: about that. We're the ones that pushed that narrative to
12:42
Speaker 7: get them off the shelves. We wanted. We started that movement.
12:46
Speaker 7: You started that, Yes, we started that moving like all right,
12:48
Speaker 7: we educated our people to educate just say. The thing
12:51
Speaker 7: about it is.
12:53
Speaker 8: We have to educate us because it's not about the money,
12:57
Speaker 8: it's about wisdom, and people don't realize if you don't know,
13:00
Speaker 8: how can you change the narrative? Because we done burned
13:02
Speaker 8: down blocks, We done toast stuff up in different cities.
13:06
Speaker 6: Now we're trying to buy back the blow.
13:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, we buying them back. But not only we buying
13:09
Speaker 8: them back. We educated enough to know what to do
13:12
Speaker 8: when we get the money. And that's something that they
13:14
Speaker 8: never taught us, because when you look at it, we
13:17
Speaker 8: just met. We said how do we make real change
13:20
Speaker 8: and growth economic empowerment because we wanted out to think
13:23
Speaker 8: about it. After we did all that pick it in
13:26
Speaker 8: and marching and all this stuff, what else happened different?
13:30
Speaker 4: So Pete, let me ask you this because I feel
13:32
Speaker 4: like there's a lot of crossover from like being an
13:36
Speaker 4: entrepreneur in one area to being entrepreneur in another area.
13:39
Speaker 4: So everybody knows you had a legendary you know, situation
13:42
Speaker 4: where I believe it was eighteen eighty five fifteen split
13:46
Speaker 4: and it was crazy. I think one year y'all put
13:48
Speaker 4: out let me see, because like I was doing the
13:50
Speaker 4: notes on this and it was like I couldn't even
13:53
Speaker 4: I couldn't even believe how album how many albums you
13:56
Speaker 4: guys actually put out. One year, it was in nineteen
13:58
Speaker 4: ninety six you put out albums. In nineteen ninety eight
14:01
Speaker 4: you put out twenty three albums. So that's like two
14:04
Speaker 4: albums every single month. Yeah, so as that like the
14:09
Speaker 4: same because I'm seeing a lot of products.
14:10
Speaker 6: Are you flooding the streets, like.
14:15
Speaker 8: Just like we flood we flooding the grocery store. So's
14:20
Speaker 8: were changing the game, because are you watching what we're doing?
14:22
Speaker 8: Like we said, we started with the chips, Now we
14:24
Speaker 8: got ten twelve different products that's coming from everywhere, because
14:27
Speaker 8: when you look at it, these are all products that
14:29
Speaker 8: we are buying. And so people were scabbed back in
14:32
Speaker 8: the days when I was putting the music out, saying
14:34
Speaker 8: you can't put that many records out at a time.
14:36
Speaker 8: And I'm saying, why not if they like one, they
14:40
Speaker 8: selling thousands of records every week, I come, it can't
14:43
Speaker 8: be coming from us. And so we went from selling
14:47
Speaker 8: ten records to ten thousand to a million records to
14:51
Speaker 8: one hundred million records independently. And they didn't think we
14:56
Speaker 8: could do it the same thing. And I look at
14:57
Speaker 8: me and James is like Malalu King and the people
15:02
Speaker 8: that came before us. They fought for us, for our
15:04
Speaker 8: freedom and civil rights. I feel like what me and
15:07
Speaker 8: James is fighting for and that's just me. We're fighting
15:10
Speaker 8: for economic empowerment for our people. That's what they're gonna
15:12
Speaker 8: remember us for. When it's all said and done, they're
15:15
Speaker 8: gonna say, these are the guys that showed black people
15:18
Speaker 8: that they could own business, create it and get out
15:21
Speaker 8: there and make a difference. Because we know this is
15:23
Speaker 8: all temporary success, but we know we could pass this
15:25
Speaker 8: down from generation to generations to our kids, our grandkids,
15:29
Speaker 8: great grandkids. You look at Uncle Ben in answer Maima
15:33
Speaker 8: that was around for one hundred and thirty years.
15:36
Speaker 6: Phil.
15:36
Speaker 8: We finally woke up. They made billions off us, and
15:39
Speaker 8: we was cool with it. Our culture didn't say that
15:41
Speaker 8: we supported it.
15:43
Speaker 6: And we didn't even flinch.
15:45
Speaker 8: But every time we put out something, it's like, you know,
15:48
Speaker 8: that's the power of the internet.
15:49
Speaker 6: Though it's a gift and the curse.
15:51
Speaker 8: Everybody got something to say, so don't we don't attain
15:55
Speaker 8: the wealth that they attained because they just only see
15:59
Speaker 8: this the product with me and James c taking companies, public,
16:04
Speaker 8: stop everything that's going on right now, Like this is
16:08
Speaker 8: not it for us. Y'all might see this product. I'm
16:10
Speaker 8: gonna tell y'all, y'all see why is here? You see
16:12
Speaker 8: all this together. We're talking about creating banks. That's what
16:15
Speaker 8: we're talking about.
16:16
Speaker 3: So talk about that.
16:17
Speaker 7: You can let that, you can let it out there,
16:25
Speaker 7: y'all say, y'all the hottest podcast, y'all.
16:26
Speaker 8: Get so like, like James says, deeper than raps next,
16:33
Speaker 8: it is because we're creating were creating online banking for
16:38
Speaker 8: disadvantaged people.
16:39
Speaker 6: So you know a lot of us.
16:40
Speaker 7: Unbankable people, unbankable people, unbankable now that don't have bank accounts.
16:47
Speaker 7: People in this country that don't have bank accounts. You know,
16:52
Speaker 7: people going to check hads and places and check and
16:55
Speaker 7: casting their checks right.
16:56
Speaker 6: And where where do we put our money?
16:58
Speaker 8: And so when I talk about uh disadvantage, I'm talking
17:01
Speaker 8: about financially disadvantage. And our culture a lot of us
17:05
Speaker 8: are like that, like we can't even get a second
17:08
Speaker 8: chance because we're messed up with these big banking systems.
17:12
Speaker 8: And now we feel like we're going to give our
17:14
Speaker 8: people a second chance to be able to have bank accounts,
17:18
Speaker 8: credit cards, but do it to where we educate our
17:22
Speaker 8: people in our culture.
17:24
Speaker 10: And it's interesting, you know, So the piggyback off Peak,
17:28
Speaker 10: the boss Up Foundation, we address these directly, these issues directly.
17:34
Speaker 10: You look at our community. You know, our community is
17:35
Speaker 10: not necessarily under resource. We have wealth, we have buying power.
17:40
Speaker 10: We have one point two trillion dollars in collective buying
17:42
Speaker 10: power that leave the community at the point of purchase.
17:45
Speaker 10: Because we don't produce anything, we don't control the retail.
17:48
Speaker 10: Like James said, out of a thousand stores in Mississippi
17:51
Speaker 10: that we fill with, only three of them are black owned.
17:54
Speaker 10: That's insane. So by teaching people to develop products that
17:58
Speaker 10: covers the part of the equation where we're no longer
18:02
Speaker 10: consumers and we're keeping the money rotating in the community,
18:06
Speaker 10: circulating in the community longer so that they can empower
18:08
Speaker 10: the institutions in the community that's to stay in our lives.
18:11
Speaker 10: That's what's been the problem. So we're talking about producing products.
18:16
Speaker 10: We're talking about asset management, stock market, and we're talking
18:19
Speaker 10: about real estate. So we talk about by our blocks.
18:22
Speaker 10: We're talking about stock and boss Up. We're talking about
18:25
Speaker 10: Innovation Cafe, which is the program that teaches young people
18:28
Speaker 10: how to develop products, you know, from start to finish,
18:31
Speaker 10: from conception to the shelf. You know, So these are
18:34
Speaker 10: things that are necessary. Like for example, you look at
18:36
Speaker 10: Boston right now, I'm on the phone my guy earlier.
18:40
Speaker 10: One of the programs that we're developing around the stock market,
18:43
Speaker 10: it's for youth. It's called Black Junior, Black Wall Streeters.
18:47
Speaker 10: And in Boston, the wealth gap is two hundred and
18:51
Speaker 10: forty seven thousand dollars to eight dollars the wealth of
18:58
Speaker 10: of the average wealth of black families and Boston is
19:00
Speaker 10: eight dollars to two hundred and forty seven thousand.
19:11
Speaker 9: It's going to be what pandemic accelerated that.
19:15
Speaker 6: But guess what, we don't educate ourselves.
19:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what, And that's what the Boss of
19:19
Speaker 7: Banking is about. Man P talked about it for a
19:21
Speaker 7: long time as well as wise, we're going to create
19:25
Speaker 7: entrepreneurial programs. You know, that's going to help people understand
19:28
Speaker 7: how to become bankable. Like when you go you know,
19:31
Speaker 7: when I first started out, you know, I had forty
19:33
Speaker 7: thousand dollars from friends and family. I went to the
19:35
Speaker 7: bank and what day the first thing to ask me,
19:37
Speaker 7: is you know, do you have colladible you know, and
19:41
Speaker 7: most of us don't, and we don't understand how to
19:43
Speaker 7: get colladible, how to become bankable, how to get your
19:46
Speaker 7: credit right, you know, where you can go and say, hey,
19:48
Speaker 7: you know, I need a loan to start off with.
19:51
Speaker 7: You know, So we're not trying to do anything anybody
19:52
Speaker 7: else is doing. We're trying to take them on sixty
19:56
Speaker 7: three million people, give them, educating them on how will
20:00
Speaker 7: become more financial responsible period? And is that is that
20:04
Speaker 7: intels helping them they create the credit you know, from
20:08
Speaker 7: you know, opening up the account to you know, basically
20:11
Speaker 7: helping them give information about what kind of business to
20:14
Speaker 7: go into and how to get into business. That's what
20:16
Speaker 7: we're going to be doing. That's the focus of you know,
20:18
Speaker 7: the boss of banking, and.
20:20
Speaker 8: That's us, that's us helping us. That's what you guys
20:22
Speaker 8: got to realize. We're teaching us how to boss up.
20:26
Speaker 8: You know, we're tired of sand we'll poll culture. We
20:28
Speaker 8: wanted to poe as cultures in the world. No, we
20:31
Speaker 8: spend trillions of dollars. Why we don't have money coming
20:35
Speaker 8: back that we able to dictate where it goes and
20:39
Speaker 8: you know, we we buy a lot of products that
20:41
Speaker 8: even in stocks like like why said we buy a
20:45
Speaker 8: lot of product, but we don't even invest in the
20:47
Speaker 8: products that we like because we don't understand that we're
20:49
Speaker 8: not educated.
20:50
Speaker 10: To that thousand dollars it let is IPO would be
20:53
Speaker 10: worth two point nine four million a day.
20:56
Speaker 7: If you're invested in in Tesla, you know, ten to
20:59
Speaker 7: fifteen years ago or where you know, a thousand dollars
21:01
Speaker 7: what would you be worth now?
21:03
Speaker 6: Right? But we don't know that.
21:04
Speaker 7: You know, I didn't understand by an investing in the
21:06
Speaker 7: stop market took about ten years ago. I was just
21:08
Speaker 7: telling people I just look, I look at it every
21:10
Speaker 7: of a minute now because again you know, but.
21:18
Speaker 8: Y'all have to realize this, right, this is the conversations
21:22
Speaker 8: we gotta be having.
21:23
Speaker 6: You look at me and wives and James.
21:25
Speaker 8: We all come from urban community and we all come
21:29
Speaker 8: from poor backgrounds.
21:31
Speaker 6: But the difference is and we all come from hip hop.
21:34
Speaker 6: But look where we are.
21:35
Speaker 8: So you followed our movement, then following this movement with
21:38
Speaker 8: us now the path that we own because that's how
21:40
Speaker 8: we get well, it's all about economic and banking. They
21:43
Speaker 8: don't teach us that now do whatever school you go to,
21:46
Speaker 8: they teaching their kids this in middle school, in high school.
21:49
Speaker 6: They don't teach us that.
21:51
Speaker 8: We all know we're gonna get a nice car, some jewelry,
21:54
Speaker 8: and we're gonna live in somebody house. We ain't even
21:57
Speaker 8: thinking about having our own house. We just want a
21:59
Speaker 8: nice car, some jewelry and go from there. We have
22:02
Speaker 8: to deprogram us, and I think the next thing that
22:05
Speaker 8: we have to look at, you know, with us in
22:08
Speaker 8: order to build well, you know, it's all about acquiring
22:12
Speaker 8: other companies. And that's what me and James talk about
22:14
Speaker 8: a lot now. You know, we put ourselves in a
22:16
Speaker 8: position to acquire other companies and also to be able
22:20
Speaker 8: to invest in other people dreams that they have in
22:25
Speaker 8: saying that we could do instead of happen to go
22:27
Speaker 8: wait for somebody else.
22:28
Speaker 6: That's what our thinking.
22:29
Speaker 7: That they don't understand it, and that's say understand their dreams. Yeah,
22:32
Speaker 7: you know, I mean, you know, if I told somebody
22:35
Speaker 7: about rap snacks, you know, ten fifteen years ago, they
22:38
Speaker 7: were looking at me like I was crazy, you know.
22:40
Speaker 7: So you know again, you know, it's all about you know,
22:44
Speaker 7: really collectively trying to help each other and understand the
22:48
Speaker 7: movement and that we're stronger in numbers.
22:50
Speaker 8: This is a movement like I want. I wanted the
22:52
Speaker 8: people know this is not about hip hop. This is
22:55
Speaker 8: a real movement that we can change the narrative when
23:00
Speaker 8: it comes to economic empowerment.
23:02
Speaker 4: So you guys are business partners in a variety of
23:05
Speaker 4: different things, not just rap snack. So it's interesting what
23:08
Speaker 4: you just said. I was looking on your page and
23:09
Speaker 4: I saw you bring a lot of small business owners
23:11
Speaker 4: on your page and you highlight them and all that.
23:13
Speaker 4: So and you said something that was crazy where a
23:15
Speaker 4: lot of people don't even they don't even know their dream.
23:17
Speaker 4: You got to mold their dream for them. So you
23:20
Speaker 4: bringing those people on your page. Is that part of
23:23
Speaker 4: like building the ecosystem and then coming under the umbrella.
23:26
Speaker 8: Yes, because my thing is when you look at these
23:30
Speaker 8: people with the different ideas and they just need some exposure.
23:35
Speaker 8: And my thing is I'm saying we waste a lot
23:38
Speaker 8: of time and money, but if I can invest back
23:41
Speaker 8: into somebody else, because somebody gonna hit. Like James said,
23:44
Speaker 8: nobody believed in his dream back then. You know, at
23:47
Speaker 8: one time me and him was the only one on
23:49
Speaker 8: the bus doing what we gotta do. But other people
23:53
Speaker 8: have those dreams and they don't know where to go
23:55
Speaker 8: at And so we said even with me saying we
23:58
Speaker 8: built a channel on YouTube, which is important for the culture.
24:02
Speaker 8: You know, if people look at Shark Tank and all,
24:04
Speaker 8: but they're not looking at just the people at the bottom.
24:06
Speaker 8: We're looking at the entrepreneur at the bottom level, saying
24:10
Speaker 8: this guy could one day have all this, So we
24:15
Speaker 8: want to be a part of helping them. Like v
24:17
Speaker 8: capital yes, and so we were saying it, so I
24:20
Speaker 8: build capital. Excuse me to cut you off, but the
24:23
Speaker 8: underground yes, underground capital.
24:26
Speaker 6: Us like saying, it's also saving us.
24:28
Speaker 8: So we we're saving us because we're at the But
24:31
Speaker 8: we got all these great ideas and they steal it
24:32
Speaker 8: from us because we don't know where to get the
24:34
Speaker 8: money from.
24:35
Speaker 6: We don't know how to expose it to the world.
24:37
Speaker 8: So were exposing these products and giving them a platform
24:41
Speaker 8: to market them.
24:42
Speaker 6: So for me, I'm a marketing genius.
24:44
Speaker 8: This is this is all about me being a marketing genius, saying,
24:46
Speaker 8: you know what, instead of just having this for me,
24:49
Speaker 8: I want thousands at the table with us.
24:51
Speaker 6: When now y'all see me James, who I can say,
24:53
Speaker 6: it's the table.
24:54
Speaker 8: I want thousands of people that look like us at
24:56
Speaker 8: the table saying, man, my idea is there. Because if
24:59
Speaker 8: you look at what I've done with master p Reviews
25:02
Speaker 8: dot com, we made show that people get shine that
25:06
Speaker 8: have great product that and we found so much great
25:08
Speaker 8: product out there that nobody probably wouldn't know about it
25:11
Speaker 8: if we didn't have that space.
25:14
Speaker 7: We're the most one of the most creative people on
25:16
Speaker 7: this earth. Yes, you know, we just don't have to
25:18
Speaker 7: outlet everybody don't.
25:19
Speaker 8: Have out And where where I'm gonna ask y'all where
25:21
Speaker 8: the most talent?
25:24
Speaker 6: What I want to know, where is the most talent
25:29
Speaker 6: in our culture. I'm gonna get y'all in a better
25:32
Speaker 6: answer in the graveyard.
25:33
Speaker 8: Most of us don't get a chance to bring that
25:36
Speaker 8: talent out and enlighten. It's a lot of people with
25:39
Speaker 8: great ideas never got it there because you know, we're
25:42
Speaker 8: not gonna last forever.
25:44
Speaker 2: So now, because I said, he said getting the idea
25:47
Speaker 2: from scaling it from the idea to the shows, right,
25:51
Speaker 2: and so James, I'm thinking, like, where do we start that?
25:53
Speaker 6: Right?
25:54
Speaker 2: Somebody was saying this, like, yo, if you can get
25:56
Speaker 2: hot where you are, there's a good chance that you'll
25:58
Speaker 2: make it right. And so when we're trying to make
26:00
Speaker 2: these raps. When we're making rap snacks, so we saw
26:02
Speaker 2: in the mom and pop stores because I know, we
26:04
Speaker 2: got to scale it to another level absolutely.
26:05
Speaker 7: You know, I was in MoMA and see, my whole
26:07
Speaker 7: philosophy initially with rap Snacks was, you know, I'm gonna
26:11
Speaker 7: spread the brand all through the Mama pop inner city
26:15
Speaker 7: stores around the country where I'm from, right, and eventually
26:19
Speaker 7: when I get hot enough. You know, it's like an artist,
26:21
Speaker 7: local artists, you get hot enough, they gonna come. They're
26:25
Speaker 7: gonna come seeking for They're gonna be like, oh yeah something,
26:27
Speaker 7: They're gonna come looking.
26:28
Speaker 6: For you, you know.
26:30
Speaker 7: And you know there's different levels you know, to you know,
26:35
Speaker 7: producing and distributing a brand, or particularly distributing the brand,
26:39
Speaker 7: because what happens when you go from corner store there's
26:43
Speaker 7: no entry level fee. You go to some of these
26:45
Speaker 7: supermarket chains, they have what they call slotting fees where
26:49
Speaker 7: for every space that you have, they charge you mightey
26:52
Speaker 7: be on.
26:53
Speaker 3: That talk about that people might they might not know
26:55
Speaker 3: about that.
26:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, So slotting fees, again, it's just a you know,
26:59
Speaker 7: it's so thinking. It's almost like a mortgage, a rent
27:02
Speaker 7: that they're paying you for that space. You got to
27:04
Speaker 7: pay for that space, you know, and if you're if
27:06
Speaker 7: you're not ready for that, it really financially can ruin you,
27:10
Speaker 7: right because your terms may not you know, be enough
27:13
Speaker 7: to support you know that, you know that, you know
27:16
Speaker 7: that situation, you know. And my thing was, you know,
27:19
Speaker 7: going into the any city of Mama pop stores, the
27:21
Speaker 7: bottom line is that they love rap snacks.
27:24
Speaker 6: I ain't. I didn't didn't and then it was and
27:25
Speaker 6: I didn't have to pay for those space.
27:30
Speaker 8: Stores and getting them major change stores. Now you have
27:32
Speaker 8: to pay to be on them shelves. And that's the difference.
27:34
Speaker 8: That's why you don't see a lot of people that
27:36
Speaker 8: look like us.
27:37
Speaker 2: So you see it on the bottom mind like I'm
27:39
Speaker 2: not paying to be in the mom and pop as
27:41
Speaker 2: opposed to pay to be in the Clovers or something.
27:43
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, because they what they do is that they
27:45
Speaker 7: have what they call a planning ground, right, So the
27:47
Speaker 7: playing ground. When you go on to a shelf, you'll
27:49
Speaker 7: see all You'll see rap snacks, you'll see campbell, soup,
27:53
Speaker 7: you'll see all these different items and Basically, they're saying, hey,
27:57
Speaker 7: you got to pay for that space if you are
28:00
Speaker 7: them that They really saying, hey, we can take you
28:02
Speaker 7: or leave you now with raps snacks. We ain't paying
28:04
Speaker 7: for none of that space because we're filling that void
28:08
Speaker 7: and we're you know, when we first got into Walmart,
28:11
Speaker 7: the buyers basically she said, James, y'all been very incremental
28:14
Speaker 7: to our category, meaning that people that came you used
28:18
Speaker 7: to come in that store, you know.
28:20
Speaker 8: Just for y'all to know that's watching out there in
28:22
Speaker 8: the hood. They call that seft pressence.
28:24
Speaker 6: You ain't gonna solve President, that's what that's what they
28:31
Speaker 6: called it, the Philly press Hut.
28:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you know the bottom line is that she
28:36
Speaker 7: was like, hey, now you have people that were coming
28:39
Speaker 7: to our stores that didn't come before to buy rap snacks.
28:42
Speaker 7: So the key for them is to find incremental products
28:45
Speaker 7: that they can have in their shelves. Because they buy
28:48
Speaker 7: rap snacks while in the store, they might buy some
28:50
Speaker 7: other products as well, you know, So that's why they
28:52
Speaker 7: called it incremental business.
28:53
Speaker 4: Let me let me ask you, guys, p I definitely
28:55
Speaker 4: want your opinion on this. The first time I heard
28:57
Speaker 4: both of you guys speak well when I was actually
28:59
Speaker 4: part of conversation with both of you guys on Clubhouse. Yes,
29:03
Speaker 4: Clubhouse recently got the billion dollar valuation. Yeah, and I
29:06
Speaker 4: know you had you had some opinions about that.
29:09
Speaker 6: Somebody.
29:09
Speaker 8: I just want you all to know, and that's spectacular.
29:15
Speaker 8: So look no how they happened spectacular calling him and jugging.
29:22
Speaker 6: Man, you need to get on Clubhouse.
29:23
Speaker 8: I say, you know what, We're about to make another
29:26
Speaker 8: one in them a billionaire.
29:27
Speaker 6: And what I mean.
29:28
Speaker 8: About that because the guy who did Clubhouse is not
29:31
Speaker 8: nothing against him.
29:32
Speaker 6: He a genius.
29:33
Speaker 8: He created a platform that we all could go on.
29:36
Speaker 8: I'm just saying for us, we need to create that
29:38
Speaker 8: for us. If one of us, if me and James
29:41
Speaker 8: did that right now, how many people entertain us, even
29:44
Speaker 8: the ones we done paid already, how many of them
29:46
Speaker 8: really gonna follow us on that? And what my thing is,
29:50
Speaker 8: club House has done a great job in putting us
29:53
Speaker 8: in a space. I'm just saying, we got to think
29:56
Speaker 8: of creating that narrative because that's how we create billionaires.
29:59
Speaker 8: This guy, what we did, we then took that took
30:03
Speaker 8: their company to be a billion dollar valuation, Like think
30:09
Speaker 8: about it. Off a twelve built off a twelve million
30:12
Speaker 8: dollar investment, which they won't give us. If Specks say
30:17
Speaker 8: he want to start a clubhouse right now, he's not
30:21
Speaker 8: going to be able to get twelve million dollars a front,
30:25
Speaker 8: which he said he can.
30:26
Speaker 6: But I don't believe.
30:27
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. I don't believe. But I'm
30:30
Speaker 8: just saying. I'm just saying.
30:33
Speaker 6: I'm just saying this facts the average back. They even
30:38
Speaker 6: have a company.
30:39
Speaker 8: Called Cookout trying to cook out. But let me tell
30:42
Speaker 8: you something about Cookout. What I think that the narrative
30:45
Speaker 8: have to change. We got to stop creating black companies.
30:48
Speaker 8: Like when you look at Raps and we're not a
30:50
Speaker 8: black company. We make stuff for the human beings. This
30:54
Speaker 8: is what every culture, the culture so think about it.
30:57
Speaker 8: But it's black owners. So that's the only thing I'm saying.
31:00
Speaker 8: Add some diversity in the technology side to where we
31:04
Speaker 8: own something that we could sell to them. We have
31:07
Speaker 8: to reverse the game now because now we want them
31:11
Speaker 8: to buy our products, but we want to have the
31:14
Speaker 8: control and we want to control the narrative with ownership.
31:17
Speaker 6: And that's what I mean by clubhouse. That's it. They
31:19
Speaker 6: got a great product, I'm happy for them.
31:22
Speaker 8: But I'm saying we need to control those types of
31:25
Speaker 8: how we put money back in the community and the
31:27
Speaker 8: cause we know we make a billion dollars.
31:29
Speaker 6: Everybody come and look for us, say pee, you're gonna
31:31
Speaker 6: do for the hood?
31:33
Speaker 10: Let me.
31:34
Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell y'all straight.
31:35
Speaker 8: Y'all ain't went to one clubhouse own and you don't
31:38
Speaker 8: even know how you look.
31:39
Speaker 6: Nobody know his name or nothing.
31:41
Speaker 8: I know his name one of them, Paul david But
31:44
Speaker 8: guess what, Paul Davidson.
31:45
Speaker 6: But y'all haven't said nothing.
31:47
Speaker 8: Y'all haven't said, come on, put some stuff back in
31:52
Speaker 8: our communities, cause you won't even know where to go
31:54
Speaker 8: to do it.
31:55
Speaker 6: Over say think about we keep.
31:57
Speaker 8: Doing that, That's what I'm saying, and.
32:00
Speaker 9: Realize that we the resource. We are the bag.
32:03
Speaker 10: They say security bags get bag, but we are the
32:05
Speaker 10: bag and we Hip hop is a perfect example. You
32:08
Speaker 10: go back to hip hop and its inception when it
32:10
Speaker 10: came out, when it start to pop, you know, the
32:12
Speaker 10: community gave it away basically because we didn't create any
32:17
Speaker 10: businesses around the genius and innovation of the youth in
32:21
Speaker 10: the inner city, so others came into the community saying, hey,
32:24
Speaker 10: this is genius. Let's make some turntables and allow them
32:27
Speaker 10: to do that. That can allow them to scratch the record,
32:29
Speaker 10: blend the record back and forth. Let's make drum machines
32:31
Speaker 10: that can sample that little segment in the classic so
32:34
Speaker 10: they can wrap over it. And they came in and
32:36
Speaker 10: they created an entire economy around hip hop ten billion
32:40
Speaker 10: dollars a year in the US alone. Ten billion a year.
32:43
Speaker 10: We see in less than one percent of the culture itself,
32:47
Speaker 10: you know, so he is one percent, right, We gotta
32:51
Speaker 10: we gotta start creating businesses around the business, like with
32:53
Speaker 10: raps snacks. You look at rabitsacks, it's the same thing.
32:55
Speaker 10: People say, Okay, this is chips, this chips. No, it's packaging,
32:58
Speaker 10: it's graphics. These are all businesses manufacturing. You can create
33:02
Speaker 10: a manufacturing business and helped manufacture some of these potato
33:06
Speaker 10: chips and poodles and everything else.
33:09
Speaker 6: You know.
33:09
Speaker 10: You can put a group together, buy a manufacturer company.
33:12
Speaker 10: Let me at like he said, acquiring companies. Acquire manufacturer company,
33:16
Speaker 10: and now.
33:16
Speaker 6: You produce it.
33:17
Speaker 8: The more wise we are fred to hear the truth.
33:21
Speaker 8: Because everybody on Clubhouse or Pete tripping, no a pei tripping.
33:24
Speaker 6: He educated y'all.
33:25
Speaker 8: Y'all just wanted somewhere where y'all can argue with each
33:28
Speaker 8: other and be bad at let's be out of you.
33:31
Speaker 8: But I'm saying it's some good James, it's some great
33:33
Speaker 8: things all that. But at the same time, our culture
33:37
Speaker 8: is looking at the little mustard seed and not looking
33:39
Speaker 8: at the tree. The tree is this is a billion
33:42
Speaker 8: dollar company that was created in seven months.
33:45
Speaker 7: Well yeah, but that's why I want to jump in
33:47
Speaker 7: because if you think about these investment companies, right, you
33:50
Speaker 7: know they started out Clubhouse, So how.
33:52
Speaker 6: Much money twelve million dollars?
33:55
Speaker 7: Twelve million dollars, right, So you start out with twelve
33:57
Speaker 7: million dollars and they say they evaluates is what a billion,
34:02
Speaker 7: bigging dollars right in seven months? All right, So if
34:04
Speaker 7: everybody is familiar with the stock market, right, we're talking
34:07
Speaker 7: about the stock market.
34:08
Speaker 6: Stop markets.
34:09
Speaker 7: They the brands and the stocks use the advance off
34:13
Speaker 7: what news. Right, So the same people that are putting
34:17
Speaker 7: that press release out that they work for X amount
34:20
Speaker 7: of dollars or the same people behind Clubhouse. So what
34:24
Speaker 7: they're doing is that they creating they create news for
34:27
Speaker 7: everybody come right, even higher and everybody ask them come
34:31
Speaker 7: in and say, oh, I want to be invested in Clubhouse. Really,
34:35
Speaker 7: but you know and see, so that's the game we
34:37
Speaker 7: got to understand because they playing a game with us.
34:40
Speaker 7: We really don't understand.
34:44
Speaker 8: Were playing check us why they're playing chess. Now, I'm
34:48
Speaker 8: gonna only say I'm making y'all think we gotta start
34:50
Speaker 8: playing chess. That's what we got to start doing as
34:53
Speaker 8: a culture, because we only see I got something I
34:56
Speaker 8: could talk on, I could be That's why I say
34:58
Speaker 8: we just made another one in them a billionaire.
35:02
Speaker 6: And you gotta look at it.
35:03
Speaker 8: If that company is evaluated right now at a billion dollars,
35:08
Speaker 8: it's really on the stock market side, gonna be worth
35:11
Speaker 8: one hundred billion. And that's what we're saying educating us.
35:14
Speaker 8: So we're not even seeing that because we just want
35:17
Speaker 8: to see, oh, this is what it is. And I'm
35:19
Speaker 8: just telling y'all, if one of us were to name
35:22
Speaker 8: the business club House, well it's a club, why we
35:26
Speaker 8: gonna do like, we would have had a thousand different
35:28
Speaker 8: things to say, why this's not gonna work. So you're
35:32
Speaker 8: not even looking at the technology. I'm just saying we
35:34
Speaker 8: need to wake up. I'm just waking my culture up
35:36
Speaker 8: and educating them. Now, whoever don't.
35:39
Speaker 6: Like it, it's cool, the true hurt. I get it.
35:41
Speaker 8: So you can go do what you gotta do. I'm
35:42
Speaker 8: just saying we need to create. So we can't do
35:44
Speaker 8: another clubhouse. It's not gonna be unique, it's not gonna work.
35:47
Speaker 8: I'm just saying, we got to create that, and we
35:49
Speaker 8: can't support clubhouse because it's another man that created a
35:52
Speaker 8: business and it's something that we all use.
35:55
Speaker 6: That's cool. I'm cool with that.
35:57
Speaker 8: But I'm just saying, now we have to invent than
36:00
Speaker 8: us and support us with the next technology that we
36:03
Speaker 8: come up with.
36:04
Speaker 6: That's what it's all about. So that's that's all the
36:06
Speaker 6: thing I'm saying.
36:07
Speaker 9: That Boss Up this dog.
36:09
Speaker 10: Boss Up is one of the first social media investment
36:12
Speaker 10: platforms that's strictly for learning. We launched this at last
36:17
Speaker 10: year in April, and you can go on. It's like Instagram,
36:21
Speaker 10: Me's robin Hood. You go on, you set up a
36:23
Speaker 10: profile just like you would on Instagram. You can follow
36:26
Speaker 10: people and you get a million dollars in stimulated money,
36:30
Speaker 10: and it follows the stock market in real time. It
36:32
Speaker 10: has the ultimate investment guide to teach you all the
36:35
Speaker 10: terms as you go, so you can learn as you go.
36:38
Speaker 10: And the the amazing thing about it is the algorithm
36:41
Speaker 10: lets the top performer portfolios turn to the top of
36:44
Speaker 10: your feed, so you seeing what works immediately, you can
36:47
Speaker 10: copy and past somebody's entire portfolio into yours and you
36:52
Speaker 10: instantly making money. You could take your real money now
36:54
Speaker 10: and put it into these stocks because you see it
36:57
Speaker 10: working already. They're beating the stop our gurus. We have
37:00
Speaker 10: gourgu of the week. The top performing portfolios pop up.
37:03
Speaker 10: They outperforming this market, the S and P by like
37:06
Speaker 10: sixty nine kid is on their outperforming SMP and the
37:11
Speaker 10: dial by about three nine percent.
37:15
Speaker 6: Insane.
37:15
Speaker 9: So the platform is like a digital version of.
37:20
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, So why is we what we gotta What
37:23
Speaker 4: we gotta do is you know, just the big show
37:26
Speaker 4: when it comes to financial literacy, but we got the
37:28
Speaker 4: biggest show when it comes to stock called market Mondays,
37:31
Speaker 4: so marketing Monday Market.
37:36
Speaker 6: So we got we gotta run this back with market.
37:39
Speaker 8: Y'all got to realize, though, think about it. For our culture,
37:43
Speaker 8: this conversation ain't sexy, but it should be because everybody
37:46
Speaker 8: trying to get to the bag.
37:48
Speaker 3: It's getting it.
37:49
Speaker 8: But that's what I'm saying, holding these conversations and letting
37:53
Speaker 8: our culture know how big it is because we're not
37:55
Speaker 8: educated to this. You know, times are changing, and they
37:58
Speaker 8: saying there's a take changing that are goal and if
38:00
Speaker 8: you're not prepared.
38:01
Speaker 6: In twenty twenty two, you either gonna be rich or poor.
38:08
Speaker 8: So we're telling y'all right now, so you know, if
38:11
Speaker 8: you're just popping bottles, you hanging in the club, you
38:14
Speaker 8: know everybody got twenty four hours.
38:15
Speaker 6: You just spending your money.
38:17
Speaker 8: You're not investing your money, and you're not gonna have
38:19
Speaker 8: no money a year from now, ten years from now,
38:22
Speaker 8: so you're gonna be in panic mode. The same way
38:25
Speaker 8: this pandemic has put a lot of people in PA.
38:27
Speaker 8: Some people made people go create business. That's what I
38:30
Speaker 8: love about it too. So you look at these hard times,
38:34
Speaker 8: it made people start thinking. And I hope that now,
38:37
Speaker 8: even from the hip hop culture, that everybody that's watching
38:40
Speaker 8: this saying, you know what, let me understand what they're saying,
38:43
Speaker 8: let me take notes, let me study this stuff, let
38:46
Speaker 8: me better myself, because.
38:47
Speaker 6: That's all they do.
38:49
Speaker 8: They're giving this information to their culture and they people
38:52
Speaker 8: and they said, I'd rather be around one of them
38:55
Speaker 8: that I don't like. It makes some money with them,
38:59
Speaker 8: but we rather hate on each other and say I
39:02
Speaker 8: can't mess with you because I don't like you. So y'all,
39:05
Speaker 8: y'all have to realize it's us self hate. So we're
39:08
Speaker 8: trying to give you the game, just like the Boss
39:09
Speaker 8: Up program, that's for free. We ain't charging nobody nothing,
39:12
Speaker 8: So I don't get why people are not by the
39:15
Speaker 8: millions coming on saying listen.
39:17
Speaker 6: Understand this, this be a part of this. Even with you.
39:19
Speaker 6: Look at the master Piece review channel.
39:22
Speaker 8: We're helping people like most people charge people to put
39:25
Speaker 8: them on their page, and we're like, no, man, we
39:27
Speaker 8: want you guys. I do this for free, and people
39:30
Speaker 8: still question why you do? What do you want me
39:32
Speaker 8: to do?
39:33
Speaker 6: Let's be real. You want to own me, you want
39:35
Speaker 6: the ice Cream Master. That's what I changed. It's crazy.
39:47
Speaker 8: I showed y'all that this is for real, that I
39:50
Speaker 8: come from the ghetto. I come from the struggle. And
39:53
Speaker 8: look where I'm at right now. Follow me on that journey,
39:56
Speaker 8: y'all see, I'm getting some real money. We're not sitting
39:58
Speaker 8: around there waiting on them. We are creating business creating
40:01
Speaker 8: opportunity for our people. And I just think that we
40:05
Speaker 8: have to stop that self hate because with me and
40:07
Speaker 8: jamesung about the other day, it's like, if you're not
40:11
Speaker 8: happy with yourself, we can't help you. If you got money,
40:13
Speaker 8: you should be happy like they got dudes got money,
40:17
Speaker 8: sitting around with frowns on they fl I'm like, man,
40:19
Speaker 8: what's wrong with you?
40:20
Speaker 6: Man? I don't know.
40:21
Speaker 8: You know, people wish they had what you have and
40:25
Speaker 8: you still not happy. So I just think that we
40:28
Speaker 8: have to realize moving forward, if we're gonna grow, we're
40:31
Speaker 8: doing this to educate our people. Why not come on
40:34
Speaker 8: this journey with us? Why gotta be all this said,
40:37
Speaker 8: trying to figure this and that out?
40:39
Speaker 6: Like, no, what just do?
40:40
Speaker 8: Let me tell you something. We know one thing. If
40:42
Speaker 8: you do right, God to keep blessing you. And that's
40:44
Speaker 8: what's been happening for us, you know, like I can't
40:47
Speaker 8: talk about nobody. I changed my life. I'm doing right.
40:50
Speaker 8: If you don't like that, that's cool. I really don't
40:53
Speaker 8: want you. I told my home boy earlier. I said, no, what,
40:55
Speaker 8: I just want good people around me. This ain't about
40:58
Speaker 8: all of us. And now this part of my life
41:00
Speaker 8: I told you Jay, we got to enjoy our like
41:02
Speaker 8: this journey we on, We're gonna have some fun, enjoy
41:05
Speaker 8: ourselves with good people around us. Now, if you're negative,
41:08
Speaker 8: we're cutting you off because you know, we come from together.
41:10
Speaker 6: I don't off for real, like you know. So I
41:18
Speaker 6: have changed, but I have.
41:23
Speaker 2: Absolutely, really quickly, because I'm thinking about the marketing and
41:27
Speaker 2: I'm looking at our culture being celebrated in the marketing
41:30
Speaker 2: and the branding of it. So I'm wondering, when you
41:33
Speaker 2: approach an artists, how's that relationship.
41:36
Speaker 6: Is it a licensing situation or is.
41:38
Speaker 9: Do they get equity by the amount of chips thugs?
41:40
Speaker 9: So how does that work?
41:41
Speaker 7: Well, you know, it's it's basically a partnership. You know,
41:44
Speaker 7: I've done a lot of you know, deals for artists,
41:47
Speaker 7: you know, and you know one thing I've found with
41:51
Speaker 7: artists man first and foremost, they gotta like what they're doing.
41:53
Speaker 6: Number one.
41:54
Speaker 7: You know, they know some of the guys that's gonna
41:56
Speaker 7: take the money, the partnership is not gonna be successful,
41:59
Speaker 7: right So, you know, I said when I we launched
42:02
Speaker 7: Rap Snacks, it's gonna be a partnership with the artists.
42:05
Speaker 7: You know, you promote the brand. We sell it what
42:08
Speaker 7: I make, you made, you gotta be yeah, partners, if
42:12
Speaker 7: you're our partner, we don't want we don't want you
42:14
Speaker 7: to be part of it.
42:14
Speaker 8: I don't want you to be man because now you're saying, look,
42:17
Speaker 8: I only made this, what we only made that?
42:24
Speaker 6: Don't talk back? Right, Yeah, they don't talk back. We
42:30
Speaker 6: put them on the shelf.
42:31
Speaker 8: So guess what if we make fifty dollars, you make
42:34
Speaker 8: fifty dollars, you know, and if you spend your fifty
42:36
Speaker 8: dollars and be mad at us that you don't have it,
42:38
Speaker 8: that's on you.
42:39
Speaker 7: You know, it's crazy too because the bosses in my
42:41
Speaker 7: office about a month ago, you know, he was like James,
42:45
Speaker 7: if they don't promote the brand, get rid of them.
42:51
Speaker 7: And it's shoe. You know what I'm saying. The bottom
42:53
Speaker 7: line is that you gotta want to be here. You
42:55
Speaker 7: got know, we got love, we gotta love the brand.
42:57
Speaker 7: You gotta love to want to represent it, and you're
42:59
Speaker 7: gonna make money. Well yeah, I mean this is crazy
43:02
Speaker 7: too because now you've got this situation where there's no
43:05
Speaker 7: show money out there, you know, and you know I
43:07
Speaker 7: told these allays all the time. Don't be one dimensional
43:10
Speaker 7: because it can come and go, you know what I mean,
43:12
Speaker 7: And you're not gonna be hot forever. It's like a
43:15
Speaker 7: you know, a banana pill going bad. Eventually, it's gonna
43:19
Speaker 7: go bad, you know, So you got to be prepared
43:21
Speaker 7: for that, you know, and be diversified and make that
43:25
Speaker 7: transition into being a business person because a lot of
43:28
Speaker 7: times the artists, man, you know, it's unfortunate because you know,
43:32
Speaker 7: if I had this company twenty five, twenty six years,
43:35
Speaker 7: I can tell y'all went through two hundred different artists
43:37
Speaker 7: and I might not be able name but two three
43:39
Speaker 7: of them.
43:39
Speaker 6: That's relevant right now.
43:42
Speaker 9: So, I mean I noticed that you guys, obviously you
43:44
Speaker 9: had artists crazy.
43:45
Speaker 2: But I just shout to Pinky on Atlanta. I saw
43:47
Speaker 2: that slave Vegan has a Yeah, so are we moving
43:50
Speaker 2: towards the entrepreneurs as well?
43:51
Speaker 8: Now?
43:52
Speaker 3: No?
43:52
Speaker 6: I you know, I just love Pinky's movement. Man.
43:54
Speaker 7: You know, she's a positive system. Man that's doing something.
43:58
Speaker 7: You know, she her energy is very infectionous. And you know,
44:02
Speaker 7: we've we've had seasonings that were you know, basically Vegan anyway.
44:07
Speaker 7: You know, so I'm like, yo, it makes a you know,
44:09
Speaker 7: it's like a you know, it's a part that it's
44:12
Speaker 7: a perfect marriage, but it's something that's evins. He's going
44:14
Speaker 7: to grow. You know, we want to be like Pink.
44:17
Speaker 7: We're not ready for you know, we want to start
44:19
Speaker 7: and grow with you as we grow.
44:21
Speaker 6: Love.
44:21
Speaker 4: I love that because can I can? I can I
44:23
Speaker 4: give my opinion on something. So I told United Masters this,
44:27
Speaker 4: I told your Button this, I told fact Jodas. I'm
44:30
Speaker 4: telling anybody that would listen to this. There's a movement
44:32
Speaker 4: of financial literacy in our culture right now. It's a snowball.
44:35
Speaker 4: A lot of people, especially big corporations, they're still not
44:38
Speaker 4: really aware of what's happening. But the snowball is quickly
44:41
Speaker 4: becoming an avalanche. And the financial literacy people, the entrepreneurs,
44:45
Speaker 4: the investors, they are going to be the next rock stars.
44:49
Speaker 4: The President is already said for that. The first financial
44:51
Speaker 4: literacy superstar was Donald Trump. If you think about it,
44:54
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban is a businessman. He became a celebrity on
44:57
Speaker 4: Shark Tank and owning the NBA team and making him
44:59
Speaker 4: put Gary Vee. It just hasn't been somebody black that
45:02
Speaker 4: that had nothing to do with sports or entertainment pretty
45:05
Speaker 4: soon that's gonna be the new wave. And a lot
45:07
Speaker 4: of these corporations aren't paying attention to that. They still
45:09
Speaker 4: focus too much, in my opinion, on entertainers and rappers.
45:12
Speaker 4: That's great, but the entrepreneur's career lives in perpetuity. It
45:18
Speaker 4: can be passed down for generations. I don't care how
45:21
Speaker 4: fast you you could, you could run, Eventually you're gonna.
45:24
Speaker 3: Have to stop.
45:25
Speaker 8: Well, look look at this, y'all. Product outweighs talent. That's
45:29
Speaker 8: why we are preparing the next generation. You look at
45:32
Speaker 8: me and my son Romeo and the people that's in here,
45:36
Speaker 8: that's sitting there. We are preparing the next generation. It's
45:39
Speaker 8: not just about us. And we tell it not only
45:43
Speaker 8: entertainers this, but at the least too.
45:45
Speaker 6: Because a lot of that.
45:46
Speaker 8: I don't care whether we try to do business with
45:47
Speaker 8: Kawhi Leonard, whoever, all those guys that came up and
45:51
Speaker 8: they say, yeah, we want to do business with you,
45:53
Speaker 8: but then they get caught up with basketball or they
45:55
Speaker 8: get caught up with football. They don't have the time.
45:57
Speaker 8: And I say, you know what, one day you're gonna
45:59
Speaker 8: have the time. You know what I'm saying, one day
46:02
Speaker 8: you're gonna have the time.
46:03
Speaker 6: Remember that I stopped for you.
46:05
Speaker 8: I stopped for you and showed you everything because people
46:07
Speaker 8: always said a peep show me the game.
46:09
Speaker 6: I'm giving these guys a game for free.
46:11
Speaker 8: I sit down with I mean, I didn't even sit
46:13
Speaker 8: down with Paul George. But look, man, you can't play
46:16
Speaker 8: basketball forever. I know you're making a lot of money
46:18
Speaker 8: doing this, but you better think about because that look
46:21
Speaker 8: at what we're doing.
46:22
Speaker 6: Because I was at the height of my career and.
46:25
Speaker 8: Not realizing music. I don't care you, Michael Jackson, whatever,
46:28
Speaker 8: that's gonna stop. And so I said, proud of out
46:33
Speaker 8: Weigh's talent, And it's the truth. Like answer, Mom and
46:37
Speaker 8: Uncle Ben been on the shelves for one hundred and
46:39
Speaker 8: thirty years and it was pure mockery. They never ran
46:42
Speaker 8: up no court, they never did no music, none.
46:44
Speaker 6: Of that stuff.
46:45
Speaker 8: It's still in the stores today and it's the only
46:48
Speaker 8: reason they taking it out because we're creating products and
46:51
Speaker 8: brands that we could pass down for generations.
46:53
Speaker 6: And I feel like right now, me and James gonna
46:55
Speaker 6: be the rock stars of this.
46:57
Speaker 8: So if you look at African American people that written
47:00
Speaker 8: business and brands, we at the forefront because we're not
47:03
Speaker 8: afraid if we taking a page out of Reginald Lewis book.
47:06
Speaker 8: When you look at Regid Luid, you say, why should
47:08
Speaker 8: white guys have all the fun? Why should they only
47:10
Speaker 8: be billionaires? This guy did this in the nineteen seventies.
47:13
Speaker 8: We got our act together. This ain't about no money,
47:15
Speaker 8: and this is about I got a billion dollars worth
47:17
Speaker 8: of knowledge.
47:18
Speaker 6: I could lose all the money in the world.
47:19
Speaker 8: I'm gonna keep getting it back because I got the knowledge,
47:22
Speaker 8: and I think that's what we're missing.
47:24
Speaker 7: Well, PE's that's the key too, because as he's talking about,
47:28
Speaker 7: you know, becoming the financial guys, becoming the next rock stars. Yes,
47:31
Speaker 7: it's more about delivering that information and how to get
47:35
Speaker 7: to become that, you know, So the more availability we make,
47:39
Speaker 7: you know, on the landscape of you know, how to
47:41
Speaker 7: understand how to get to that point financially because you know,
47:46
Speaker 7: you know Mark Cuban, you know, all these guys were
47:49
Speaker 7: basically they were at a young age, you know. You know,
47:54
Speaker 7: he was a visionary about you know, the Internet, you
47:57
Speaker 7: know tiv on Ny.
48:00
Speaker 6: But I remember what Mark did.
48:02
Speaker 8: Mark Cuban brought broadcast dot com. So they gave him
48:06
Speaker 8: a billion dollars for that. Now, let's be honest, now
48:11
Speaker 8: here rock stars, that company, even Broadcast dot Com probably
48:15
Speaker 8: not work one hundred thousand.
48:16
Speaker 4: Dollars, they says, the worst there on internet history. So
48:20
Speaker 4: that's what I mean.
48:21
Speaker 7: But yeah, but again going back to what I said before,
48:24
Speaker 7: when they announced that it's you know, it's smoking.
48:27
Speaker 6: It smokes cleans.
48:28
Speaker 7: It's all smokes cleans, right, you know, And it's crazy
48:31
Speaker 7: because it's really almost like pyramid schemes that are that's
48:34
Speaker 7: been happening for years.
48:36
Speaker 6: They get away for it. We probably went to jail.
48:38
Speaker 8: For guess nobody's been educating now with culture own this,
48:44
Speaker 8: so all they religious want is the nice car, so
48:47
Speaker 8: they don't get it, Like, what do you want more
48:48
Speaker 8: than the car?
48:49
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
48:52
Speaker 8: But I'm just saying for us as a culture, knowing
48:56
Speaker 8: the bigger picture behind what's going on in this final
49:01
Speaker 8: and you know, and we all talk about, oh, you know,
49:04
Speaker 8: we think just because they send us to some of
49:07
Speaker 8: the most of me some of the most prestigious schools
49:10
Speaker 8: in the world, we think that.
49:13
Speaker 6: We could do this. It's not even about that because
49:16
Speaker 6: I know a.
49:16
Speaker 8: Lot of people that I know grew up with they
49:19
Speaker 8: went to all these big time schools.
49:20
Speaker 6: They never did none of the stuff they went to school.
49:23
Speaker 3: But yet.
49:28
Speaker 7: Can speak to that, you know sometimes. You know, I
49:31
Speaker 7: went to you Changing University, which is the oldest black
49:33
Speaker 7: school in the country, you know, and for me, you know,
49:38
Speaker 7: as I look back on it, it was really important for
49:40
Speaker 7: me at the time because not only that, you know,
49:44
Speaker 7: it was more of the experiences that I had coming
49:47
Speaker 7: from inner city of Philadelphia and going to a black
49:49
Speaker 7: school and meeting people that looked like me that were
49:53
Speaker 7: on the same path. I'm trying to do something good,
49:56
Speaker 7: so you know. But this episode is brought to you
50:00
Speaker 7: by P and C Bank.
50:01
Speaker 2: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

Speaker 7: of those kids at a young age. You know why
52:57
Speaker 7: is the sun is building computers right now?
53:00
Speaker 10: From a scratch self talk colder saw itself how of
53:04
Speaker 10: cold programs games, you know, the back end of it,
53:08
Speaker 10: you know, and he's building high power computers man, you know.
53:12
Speaker 10: And at the same time, you know, for me, you know,
53:15
Speaker 10: one side of it that I'm on it. I'm like, yo,
53:17
Speaker 10: you just used the A M D CPU. That company
53:21
Speaker 10: evaluates it that its games was four thousand, five hundred
53:25
Speaker 10: and eighty percent in the over the past five years.
53:29
Speaker 6: You know.
53:29
Speaker 10: So on the other side, you need to make sure
53:32
Speaker 10: you got some stock in those companies that you spend
53:34
Speaker 10: the money in, you know. So it's very important. We
53:37
Speaker 10: don't get that if that side of the game when
53:40
Speaker 10: we're coming up.
53:41
Speaker 3: So it's.
53:47
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is my guy from the rock Stars.
53:54
Speaker 7: So we talked about him talking about it, talking about
53:57
Speaker 7: you early brother.
53:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're talking about Early.
53:59
Speaker 9: Yes, it's just kind of how we travel.
54:03
Speaker 6: New Orleans.
54:05
Speaker 10: It's more than the information that that that he'd be given,
54:08
Speaker 10: that he'd be given the culture. It's invaluable, man, it's
54:11
Speaker 10: priceless because we come from five hundred credit score.
54:14
Speaker 6: Communities, you know what I mean.
54:16
Speaker 10: So, you know, one of the first things we need
54:18
Speaker 10: to be learning is the business of you you know,
54:20
Speaker 10: your first business is you. If you can't manage your
54:23
Speaker 10: credit score, you can't get your things to that part
54:25
Speaker 10: of your life together.
54:26
Speaker 6: Is could be hard for.
54:27
Speaker 10: You to manage a business or get money from a bank,
54:30
Speaker 10: to get a loan to do something else, you know
54:32
Speaker 10: what I mean. You have to deal with you first.
54:34
Speaker 10: That's the first business, the business of you. So all
54:36
Speaker 10: of those things credit repair, uh, you know, basic finance.
54:40
Speaker 10: People don't know how to balance a check book, you
54:42
Speaker 10: know what I mean.
54:43
Speaker 8: So you really don't even understand imparts of an LLC
54:46
Speaker 8: and a corporation. They really don't understand just the basic
54:50
Speaker 8: step of everybody know we was raised now come from nords,
54:53
Speaker 8: just raised.
54:53
Speaker 6: Put everything in my name or put it in my
54:55
Speaker 6: mama name, you know what I'm saying. Let's be honest.
55:00
Speaker 8: They don't understand everything that go with this. And so
55:04
Speaker 8: that's why. So for me being from New Orleans, y'all know,
55:06
Speaker 8: I grew up in a project and I grew up
55:08
Speaker 8: in a poor size.
55:09
Speaker 6: So I wanted to go to white school to see
55:11
Speaker 6: how they think. I went to.
55:12
Speaker 8: University of Huges. I just got time, like I'm not learning,
55:15
Speaker 8: I need to go see something else. And I'm so
55:18
Speaker 8: blessed to be able to play basketball, just to get
55:20
Speaker 8: in there and just to see how they think. And
55:23
Speaker 8: when I start seeing how they think and how they
55:25
Speaker 8: prepare their kids.
55:26
Speaker 6: And what they are doing.
55:28
Speaker 8: So you know, my grandmother sent me off to school
55:30
Speaker 8: for five hours, say baby, go on, do.
55:32
Speaker 6: What you gotta do.
55:33
Speaker 8: I'm like five hours, you know, but I went made
55:37
Speaker 8: it work and I got a chance to see the
55:39
Speaker 8: other side of the role. So I just think all
55:42
Speaker 8: of our backgrounds and what we the Ben drew, I
55:44
Speaker 8: feel like we experts at this game. You know, think
55:48
Speaker 8: about it as a black man, you know, just we've
55:49
Speaker 8: been in business. We made money, lost it, got it back,
55:52
Speaker 8: figured out how to get it back. You done fell
55:54
Speaker 8: off the horse ten twelve times, got back up.
55:56
Speaker 6: But that's what it's about. They did it too, but we.
56:00
Speaker 8: Don't criticize them when they do it because when they
56:03
Speaker 8: fall off the horse, they just like you know what,
56:05
Speaker 8: those guys will be back.
56:06
Speaker 6: They hustlers. When we fall off the horse, we like
56:09
Speaker 6: all he done. What happened smoking.
56:15
Speaker 8: Knowing BM James I BM was a big mold time
56:19
Speaker 8: belief dollar company.
56:20
Speaker 6: They fell off, what happened? They went figured something else
56:23
Speaker 6: and got into other companies.
56:24
Speaker 10: Yeah, technology, I be in where they tracking food from
56:28
Speaker 10: the where it was, uh was put on the truck.
56:32
Speaker 4: You from the you know how fresh it was to
56:35
Speaker 4: did was the instar?
56:40
Speaker 6: Yeah? You know.
56:43
Speaker 7: But what's you know what's important too is and me
56:45
Speaker 7: Andwhis always talked about We were always talking about this.
56:48
Speaker 6: You know.
56:48
Speaker 7: When my first job out of college was with a
56:51
Speaker 7: company called Johnson Products, right, there was a black company,
56:55
Speaker 7: you know, and I was sitting next to mister Johnson
56:59
Speaker 7: who owned the company, right, So it was always always
57:03
Speaker 7: it was he was. It was almost a paid internship.
57:06
Speaker 7: He was a paid mentor because I got to see
57:08
Speaker 7: a vision of the guy who at that time onto
57:12
Speaker 7: multi magatile company, right, and he was in every store
57:16
Speaker 7: in the country. If you go into any store now
57:19
Speaker 7: with haircare, right, they have a two foot section to
57:23
Speaker 7: the to a twenty four foot section and every store
57:26
Speaker 7: you go into is you can buy black haircare, right,
57:30
Speaker 7: you know, and you talk about that. So that was
57:33
Speaker 7: the mentorship that I got. That's that's what gave me
57:37
Speaker 7: the vision to understanding how developed products, what retailer was about,
57:42
Speaker 7: and how to put it out for the product out there.
57:44
Speaker 7: So as we produce more of us right and have
57:47
Speaker 7: more people coming behind us. That's you know, that's that's
57:51
Speaker 7: gonna change the game for everybody.
57:52
Speaker 10: You know, that's important because the mentor ship Johnson was
57:59
Speaker 10: meant to or by Samuel B.
58:01
Speaker 6: Fuller. Sammy B.
58:02
Speaker 10: Fuller was one of the richest black men in the
58:05
Speaker 10: country in the nineteen sixties during the Civil rights movement.
58:08
Speaker 10: He was underwriting a lot of what Martin Luther Kingingan
58:11
Speaker 10: was doing. A lot of people didn't even know that,
58:13
Speaker 10: you know. So he came to Martin Luther king in
58:15
Speaker 10: him and said, Yo, Okay, the bus is going bankrupt,
58:19
Speaker 10: the boycott is working, Let's buy it. He wanted to
58:22
Speaker 10: buy the bus, but the civil rights leaders said, you know,
58:26
Speaker 10: that's not what their mission was. He was like, let's
58:29
Speaker 10: buy it. We can employ our people, we can put.
58:31
Speaker 6: Them Mike, he got it.
58:32
Speaker 4: He got that's that's a beautiful So you're saying that
58:34
Speaker 4: the bus the bus boycott, somebody was because I always
58:37
Speaker 4: that was my whole thing with the bus boycott, and
58:39
Speaker 4: must respect to our ancestors. You can never disrespect anything
58:41
Speaker 4: that they did. They worked with the information that they had.
58:43
Speaker 4: But my hole thing was like, like even when Malcolm
58:45
Speaker 4: X was saying, like, it's not about boycott and a hotel,
58:49
Speaker 4: it's about starting your own hotel, and always always resonated
58:53
Speaker 4: with me with the bus boycott.
58:54
Speaker 8: I'm like, they didn't have the information. But what I'm saying,
58:57
Speaker 8: so that's what y'all got to look at. That's why
58:59
Speaker 8: we have to share. That is information. We don't want
59:02
Speaker 8: to do that because we're so afraid of We brought
59:05
Speaker 8: up in a dope man mentality, which kingpin mentality. Everybody
59:10
Speaker 8: want to be a kingpin. Nobody want. You know, back
59:13
Speaker 8: in the day, used to have guys in the hood
59:14
Speaker 8: be like, you know what, say little dude, this is
59:16
Speaker 8: what you do. Don't do what I do because I
59:18
Speaker 8: want you to be better than me.
59:19
Speaker 6: We don't do that no more.
59:20
Speaker 8: Here shades information lod because if you know, you're gonna
59:23
Speaker 8: walk up there and crash and burn. You know, if
59:26
Speaker 8: you tell somebody the truth and if they don't get it,
59:29
Speaker 8: that's fine, if they just don't want it.
59:32
Speaker 6: But we're saying, shat is information. Give them my opportunity.
59:35
Speaker 8: We developing prisons, We're developing all these different places for
59:41
Speaker 8: us to go to instead of developing educational places. To
59:45
Speaker 8: put us into to prepare because if we don't do
59:48
Speaker 8: this together, we're gonna lose. Like, let's be honest, you
59:50
Speaker 8: could say that our ancestors back in the days, they
59:53
Speaker 8: didn't understand how to share information because they didn't have
59:57
Speaker 8: time to learn. They fighting for their life, you know,
59:59
Speaker 8: was a civil rights movement. We're fighting for freedom. We're saying,
1:00:02
Speaker 8: these people then paid the way from us for us
1:00:05
Speaker 8: to be here and do what we're able to do now.
1:00:07
Speaker 8: So that's why I love them. You know, this is
1:00:09
Speaker 8: my passion, this is my purpose to educate the next generation.
1:00:13
Speaker 8: That's all I want to do.
1:00:15
Speaker 6: Look that part of the foundation, yes, yes, absolutely.
1:00:22
Speaker 10: One of the aims of the of the RAPS Next
1:00:24
Speaker 10: Foundation is to triangulate the culture, the entrepreneurs in the community.
1:00:28
Speaker 10: You know, because if we all connect, all entrepreneurs in
1:00:32
Speaker 10: the culture that's doing theything function at a high level
1:00:35
Speaker 10: in the game. Connect with the HBCUs we and the
1:00:41
Speaker 10: and the community strong and powerful, we can really move
1:00:45
Speaker 10: the needle. You know, just just go back you know
1:00:48
Speaker 10: to post pre integration. Pre integration, we were building. We
1:00:53
Speaker 10: had communities that were prosperous all over the United States,
1:00:56
Speaker 10: not just Black Wall Street. We talk about Black Wall
1:00:58
Speaker 10: Street all the time, right here in Miami Town, just
1:01:00
Speaker 10: up the street, establishing with eighteen ninety six in South Carolina, Richmond, Virginia,
1:01:07
Speaker 10: Magguelina Walker. Magguelina Walker was the first woman in the
1:01:11
Speaker 10: United States to have her own bank, not black woman,
1:01:14
Speaker 10: the first woman, and she just happened to be black
1:01:17
Speaker 10: with our own bank in nineteen thirteen, nineteen thirteen. She
1:01:20
Speaker 10: built this bank all the way up. It lastly went
1:01:22
Speaker 10: all the way to two thousand and six. Now that's
1:01:26
Speaker 10: that's wealth, that's building generational wealth. That's no how, that's information.
1:01:30
Speaker 10: And it all started as a benevolent society. She said, Okay,
1:01:33
Speaker 10: what can I do to help my community? So with
1:01:35
Speaker 10: the foundation, the point is to solve a problem, to
1:01:39
Speaker 10: follow the need. You know, that's the point of entrepreneurship
1:01:42
Speaker 10: to me, you know, to find creative ways to solve problems.
1:01:45
Speaker 10: And we who got more problems than us?
1:01:48
Speaker 6: I tell you all problems.
1:01:53
Speaker 8: All the time. How does start the business? Find the problem? Exactly,
1:01:56
Speaker 8: I'll find a problem if you look at you know,
1:01:58
Speaker 8: we laughed at some the Latino brothers. They're on the coner,
1:02:01
Speaker 8: they washing car. They found a problem. Like we all
1:02:04
Speaker 8: we want to do is find a job. We just
1:02:07
Speaker 8: want to pay bills. And that's what it's either you
1:02:09
Speaker 8: got to know what you want to be. You want
1:02:11
Speaker 8: to be the boss or you want to be a worker.
1:02:13
Speaker 8: That's it, but we need both. Everybody is not put
1:02:17
Speaker 8: here to be the boss.
1:02:18
Speaker 6: Everybody's not college material.
1:02:21
Speaker 8: And everybody, but everybody has a job to do because
1:02:23
Speaker 8: if you look at what we say in this, look
1:02:25
Speaker 8: at some of the most successful companies in the world,
1:02:27
Speaker 8: guess what they have. It's like a car. You got
1:02:30
Speaker 8: the engine, you got the starter, you got the battery,
1:02:33
Speaker 8: you need all these pieces. And that's why I built.
1:02:36
Speaker 6: Everything I do is built on a team atmosphere.
1:02:40
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, speaking about like looking into
1:02:42
Speaker 4: the future, you just did a partnership with an ex
1:02:44
Speaker 4: engineer from Tesla to create the new supercar situation.
1:02:49
Speaker 3: What's that about.
1:02:50
Speaker 8: Well, you know what that's about giving somebody from our
1:02:53
Speaker 8: culture and opportunity that that was a worker.
1:02:57
Speaker 6: He's black, black try and motors. So giving a.
1:03:01
Speaker 8: Guy the exposure to the world to say, you know what,
1:03:05
Speaker 8: if they make a cause, look at what we could do.
1:03:08
Speaker 8: This guy helped them build a lot of the Tesla Carse.
1:03:11
Speaker 8: So I'm saying giving that guy an opportunity and seeing
1:03:14
Speaker 8: where we could take that at so and also exposing
1:03:17
Speaker 8: that to our people, saying, look what we understand how
1:03:20
Speaker 8: to do. Some of us a real genius at creating things,
1:03:24
Speaker 8: but we have nowhere to take it. So me and James,
1:03:27
Speaker 8: our whole thing is saying, let's see the people that
1:03:29
Speaker 8: we could find that. You know, you might have something
1:03:33
Speaker 8: that you say, Okay, we just need to dust this off,
1:03:36
Speaker 8: help this person out, expose this person to the world,
1:03:40
Speaker 8: Like that's another source of revenue to help our culture
1:03:43
Speaker 8: and our people. Give our people opportunities and jobs, and
1:03:46
Speaker 8: also something that's made by us that we probably think
1:03:50
Speaker 8: that we can't do that a kid in high school
1:03:52
Speaker 8: or middle school, even in kindergarten. Right now, you know,
1:03:55
Speaker 8: say show me a black guy that made a supercar.
1:03:59
Speaker 8: Now now we actually lived this life and seeing it.
1:04:02
Speaker 8: We're done seeing a black president. We'rene seeing a black
1:04:05
Speaker 8: vice president now, like we're definitely changing the game.
1:04:08
Speaker 4: So how long is that you envisioned before that you
1:04:10
Speaker 4: can actually have a car, because the car is a
1:04:12
Speaker 4: whole different type of product, a lot that goes into that.
1:04:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what, to be honest with you, we
1:04:17
Speaker 8: investing in so many different products and so many different opportunities.
1:04:24
Speaker 8: That's only one of many, and so that's on him.
1:04:28
Speaker 8: Like I'm never for a person like that. I don't
1:04:30
Speaker 8: know the car business, but I understand the marketing. I
1:04:33
Speaker 8: understand how can I help this person? And so that's
1:04:37
Speaker 8: what I'm doing, you know. I feel like that's what
1:04:39
Speaker 8: my strength comeing in. If I could help expose something
1:04:42
Speaker 8: to the world it turned into something, fine, If it don't,
1:04:46
Speaker 8: We're gonna keep pushing till yeah.
1:04:48
Speaker 7: But ultimately what we will do is create a management
1:04:51
Speaker 7: team around them when we invest some money in them.
1:04:53
Speaker 7: You know, our goal is to you know, this year
1:04:55
Speaker 7: raise one hundred million dollars you know for our fund.
1:04:58
Speaker 7: Also fun to be able to to promote, you know,
1:05:01
Speaker 7: and invest in and companies such as is you know
1:05:04
Speaker 7: that we think is unique and different in out the
1:05:06
Speaker 7: box and we can we can you know, offer our
1:05:09
Speaker 7: expertise and put people around him to support his growth
1:05:14
Speaker 7: and the understanding of how to move forward with a
1:05:16
Speaker 7: product that is something that's quality and something that can
1:05:19
Speaker 7: you know, really competitive with a marketplace.
1:05:22
Speaker 8: A supercar. You never imagine us creating it. It's a
1:05:25
Speaker 8: lot of money you create a supercar. So the next
1:05:28
Speaker 8: step is coming up with me and Jane talking about
1:05:30
Speaker 8: the electric cars that are affordable for everybody. We need
1:05:34
Speaker 8: to have them coming from me to have them. So
1:05:37
Speaker 8: it's starts from there. The supercar is going to turn
1:05:39
Speaker 8: into something else.
1:05:40
Speaker 3: So it is boss up. Is it a venture capital firm?
1:05:43
Speaker 3: It's everything?
1:05:43
Speaker 7: It sounds so no, So we so let's we're starting
1:05:48
Speaker 7: a boss up, you know, entrepreneur banking platform.
1:05:52
Speaker 6: Okay, and on on.
1:05:54
Speaker 7: On top of that, we're going to down create a fund,
1:05:57
Speaker 7: one hundred million dollars fund right to invest in companies
1:06:01
Speaker 7: such as the brother who has the you know, has
1:06:04
Speaker 7: the car.
1:06:05
Speaker 6: You know.
1:06:06
Speaker 7: Then like again, there's a lot of other companies out
1:06:08
Speaker 7: there that we feel like that we can invest our money.
1:06:11
Speaker 7: But in addition to that, invest our expertise, you know,
1:06:15
Speaker 7: our knowledge, and put structure around them to support the
1:06:18
Speaker 7: mentorship and support.
1:06:19
Speaker 6: Them that growth.
1:06:21
Speaker 8: Because you know a lot of this stuff, you know,
1:06:23
Speaker 8: you have people come up with all these amazing ideas,
1:06:26
Speaker 8: but it never come to life. I just told y'all
1:06:28
Speaker 8: the most treasures are in the graveyard. People don't get
1:06:31
Speaker 8: a chance to finish those So we're saying we're putting
1:06:34
Speaker 8: together fund to invest in other people ideas and bring
1:06:37
Speaker 8: some man them ideas the life that's that's that normally
1:06:41
Speaker 8: you'll never see happen.
1:06:43
Speaker 10: So one of the most one of the most important
1:06:46
Speaker 10: things about a fund for me is is that you
1:06:51
Speaker 10: can you can allow others to come into the fund
1:06:54
Speaker 10: as LPs or whatever you know. And when you think
1:06:56
Speaker 10: about how a lot of these companies out here to start,
1:06:59
Speaker 10: especially Soon Valley, when these kids leave college, the pwis
1:07:04
Speaker 10: the predominantly white institutions. They leave and they go to
1:07:07
Speaker 10: Silicon Valley, come up with this great idea, come up
1:07:10
Speaker 10: with this great company that's say Uber or Lyft, you know,
1:07:12
Speaker 10: and then they look for VC. They look for VC funding.
1:07:15
Speaker 10: They go to the tap of VC where the alumni
1:07:19
Speaker 10: is running that VC. Another student from the same university
1:07:22
Speaker 10: is running this VCR, right, so then they get this brand.
1:07:28
Speaker 10: But the part that were missing is that the university
1:07:31
Speaker 10: that they graduated from is in that fund as an LP,
1:07:34
Speaker 10: as a limited partner. So now the university is building
1:07:38
Speaker 10: its endowment off the genius of its students.
1:07:41
Speaker 6: Right now.
1:07:42
Speaker 10: Take Rapsnacks, for example, James is out of Cheney Cheney University, right,
1:07:47
Speaker 10: James should have been able to look back to Cheney
1:07:49
Speaker 10: when he came up with this idea, said, Yo, I'm
1:07:52
Speaker 10: looking for funding, went to a VC that Cheney was
1:07:54
Speaker 10: already vested in. So when Raps Snacks take take off,
1:07:58
Speaker 10: then Cheney's endowment role. At the same time Puffy with
1:08:02
Speaker 10: Bad Boy Entertainment.
1:08:04
Speaker 9: Same thing.
1:08:05
Speaker 10: The only HBCU. All these graduates from HBCUs that's doing it.
1:08:09
Speaker 10: Starting companies should be benefiting.
1:08:12
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. You picked
1:08:14
Speaker 3: the right Dame.
1:08:16
Speaker 4: Challenge wives in chaligent now because everything you're saying is
1:08:19
Speaker 4: completely true. And it's like there's a teacher. There's a
1:08:22
Speaker 4: professor in Stanford University who's already a billionaire, and he
1:08:25
Speaker 4: teaches a class and he really only teaches that class
1:08:28
Speaker 4: to find the next people to invest in. And the
1:08:31
Speaker 4: people go to that class to pitch him the idea.
1:08:35
Speaker 4: I think Airbnb. He invested in Airbnb. He invested a
1:08:39
Speaker 4: bunch of them. It's like a whole pipeline of Stanford
1:08:41
Speaker 4: graduates that take this guy's class because they know that
1:08:44
Speaker 4: they might have opportunity to pitch him the business and
1:08:47
Speaker 4: he's going to invest in it. So it's like they
1:08:49
Speaker 4: talk about group of economics.
1:08:52
Speaker 6: The profess Yeah, it's like shark tank.
1:08:55
Speaker 9: We're just gonna feed off the fish that come through,
1:08:57
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, being off the talent.
1:08:59
Speaker 6: I want to know what we have to go from us.
1:09:02
Speaker 6: We know street economics.
1:09:04
Speaker 8: We got to go from street economics to real economics
1:09:08
Speaker 8: and entrepreneurship. And that's what we've normally been creating because
1:09:12
Speaker 8: we don't have the education to go with it. So
1:09:14
Speaker 8: we are streepreneurs.
1:09:17
Speaker 6: You know.
1:09:17
Speaker 8: We got to go from that to entrepreneurship because that's
1:09:21
Speaker 8: the narrative that has to change. But it comes through
1:09:23
Speaker 8: education and we have to sit down and have more
1:09:26
Speaker 8: conversations like this. But we have to give this to
1:09:29
Speaker 8: the masses so they could see and understand, like we're
1:09:32
Speaker 8: not perfect, we're not the smartest people in the world,
1:09:34
Speaker 8: but look at our growth and we're willing to learn
1:09:37
Speaker 8: and get better.
1:09:38
Speaker 6: And I think that's the magic gonna happen for our culture.
1:09:41
Speaker 8: Starting a conversation like this and seeing people that are
1:09:44
Speaker 8: successful because our culture, we only feed on success, Like
1:09:49
Speaker 8: you can't tell me nothing if you're not successful, and
1:09:53
Speaker 8: so now it's gonna take people like us to take
1:09:55
Speaker 8: the time out, and that's what we're doing.
1:09:57
Speaker 6: So follow this movement.
1:09:59
Speaker 8: We got people here that want to give this to you,
1:10:02
Speaker 8: but you gotta want to learn it. And then you
1:10:04
Speaker 8: really gonna have to sacrifice just like us and take
1:10:07
Speaker 8: some time. Because I tell people all the time, you
1:10:09
Speaker 8: know what's the key to success. It's consistency. See what
1:10:13
Speaker 8: I'm saying. So they think you got to No, it's consistent.
1:10:16
Speaker 8: You keep doing the same thing all the time. You're
1:10:18
Speaker 8: gonna get some real results out of it. But people
1:10:21
Speaker 8: want to run in place. They want to move, act
1:10:23
Speaker 8: like they move, but you can't move. I be running
1:10:25
Speaker 8: in place. So my thing is you gotta stop run place.
1:10:31
Speaker 8: It is they just running in place? They not realizing.
1:10:34
Speaker 6: Like we get up in the.
1:10:35
Speaker 8: Morning, we run together, we work together, we play because
1:10:38
Speaker 8: we've got a bigger vision.
1:10:39
Speaker 6: We like man. And I'm gonna tell you something. Well,
1:10:42
Speaker 6: I work so hard. They said, pee you go hard.
1:10:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't want to go back to the ghetto, dude,
1:10:47
Speaker 8: I swear to God, I don't want to go back.
1:10:48
Speaker 8: I want to go back to help the youth and
1:10:51
Speaker 8: feed the elgeb. But I don't want to go back
1:10:53
Speaker 8: there to live. So that's they say, well, why, that's
1:10:55
Speaker 8: why I work so hard and my kids already have
1:10:57
Speaker 8: it there. I say, why y'all work? They say, well,
1:10:59
Speaker 8: why kids works hard? Because I already told them. You
1:11:02
Speaker 8: don't want to go to to ghetto.
1:11:04
Speaker 6: You never been there. You're not even beg about it.
1:11:08
Speaker 8: You not ready for you do not want so my kids,
1:11:11
Speaker 8: you see them, they going at it nothing.
1:11:13
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
1:11:14
Speaker 8: If you want to be good at something, if you
1:11:15
Speaker 8: look at from Lebron James to Kobe Bryant, those guys
1:11:20
Speaker 8: had the same trait. If you look at it, they
1:11:23
Speaker 8: had passion, they had purpose, and they had consistency.
1:11:27
Speaker 6: That's what they had.
1:11:28
Speaker 8: We have to have that if we really want to win.
1:11:30
Speaker 8: When I get up in the morning, I go with it.
1:11:32
Speaker 8: I tell you I'm a beast. You can't stop me. Brian,
1:11:34
Speaker 8: I don't care who you is.
1:11:36
Speaker 6: For real, you cannot stop me. I don't care who
1:11:39
Speaker 6: you is. You're not gonna bad, but to stop me.
1:11:42
Speaker 6: You're not gonna better stop me because I get up

1:11:51
Speaker 6: has no limit. Boy, you don't understand. I'm about to
1:11:53
Speaker 6: make ten times and I don't.
1:11:54
Speaker 8: Even care about the money, because if you do something
1:11:57
Speaker 8: you love, the money gonna come. It ain't a about Okay,
1:12:00
Speaker 8: well I'm good if you're good at something. That's what
1:12:02
Speaker 8: I tell people about talent. If you're good at something,
1:12:05
Speaker 8: you're gonna create followers. A leader do on go look
1:12:09
Speaker 8: for followers. A leader create followers off their talent. People
1:12:13
Speaker 8: want to come to you because you're talented as something.
1:12:17
Speaker 8: People come here to us because we're good at what
1:12:19
Speaker 8: we do.
1:12:21
Speaker 6: That's it.
1:12:22
Speaker 8: We ain't gonna tell people to follow us. A leader
1:12:24
Speaker 8: never tell somebody to follow them. People follow you because
1:12:29
Speaker 8: you're good at what you do unless you.
1:12:32
Speaker 2: In for I know you said you want to take
1:12:41
Speaker 2: Raps's public. What is that process? More products coming? Like,
1:12:46
Speaker 2: what's the process of getting this to What was that?
1:12:50
Speaker 6: Yeah? I can answer that. Yeah.
1:12:52
Speaker 7: I mean the first and foremost is the right timing, right,
1:12:56
Speaker 7: you know, So we feel like, you know, well, let
1:13:00
Speaker 7: me let me just say this. I wanted to make
1:13:03
Speaker 7: sure that when we do go public, that the people
1:13:05
Speaker 7: who are supporting our brand have the first opportunity to
1:13:09
Speaker 7: invest in us right, So we're making sure that we
1:13:12
Speaker 7: align that first and foremost because most of the times
1:13:16
Speaker 7: we have companies like us, they go public and you
1:13:19
Speaker 7: go to the institution first, they get all say, they
1:13:22
Speaker 7: invest all the money, and then when it gets to
1:13:24
Speaker 7: you know, to the regular person, they can't afford it
1:13:28
Speaker 7: or the pricing is a lot higher than they should be.
1:13:30
Speaker 6: We want to take our people on that ride with us.
1:13:33
Speaker 6: You know what.
1:13:33
Speaker 8: We want to build well journalist movement with us, and
1:13:37
Speaker 8: don't wait till it because you know, people always say,
1:13:39
Speaker 8: well I want to do this. You know what, You're
1:13:41
Speaker 8: going to get an opportunity to do this and be
1:13:43
Speaker 8: a part of this and be a part of making
1:13:46
Speaker 8: some real money. And our thing is the more we make,
1:13:49
Speaker 8: the more we get. We want to be able to
1:13:50
Speaker 8: change the communities, the culture. We want to educate. We
1:13:54
Speaker 8: want to build places to where we talk about financial literacy,
1:13:57
Speaker 8: economic empowerment, banking. We want to give that to the
1:14:01
Speaker 8: youth because that's where it started. They it's called preparation.
1:14:04
Speaker 8: They preparing their generation for success. We gotta stop saying
1:14:10
Speaker 8: we can't do something. That's why I call my company
1:14:13
Speaker 8: no limit. There's gonna be no limit to my success
1:14:16
Speaker 8: every time somebody tell When I was at home, it

1:14:28
Speaker 8: years old. You know what I'm saying. Miss Irens, I'm gonna.
1:14:31
Speaker 6: Be a store. You back here with all us in
1:14:33
Speaker 6: the project, you ain't gonna be shit.
1:14:34
Speaker 8: Nah, bro, I'm gonna be a star. And we gotta
1:14:36
Speaker 8: start preparing the next generation. And we're letting all these
1:14:40
Speaker 8: other stores out there know, these entrepreneurs that we did it,
1:14:43
Speaker 8: y'all could do. So we want to motivate them and
1:14:46
Speaker 8: show them that. And we're gonna show by like we're
1:14:49
Speaker 8: not perfect. So we go through some trial and there
1:14:52
Speaker 8: or learn like when we first put the noodles out,
1:14:54
Speaker 8: we had to fix the season.
1:14:55
Speaker 6: That's cool.
1:14:56
Speaker 8: We're showing you this the process, trust the process, but
1:14:59
Speaker 8: we're gonna get it right because we know the bigger picture.
1:15:02
Speaker 7: And then when you go public too, you you know
1:15:04
Speaker 7: you are more acceptible to everybody. Everybody knows your business,
1:15:08
Speaker 7: so you have to prepare for that, to make sure
1:15:11
Speaker 7: that you have all your ducks in line right and
1:15:14
Speaker 7: that you're not exposed to people trying to really bring
1:15:16
Speaker 7: you down with things that they don't really gonna understand.
1:15:19
Speaker 7: I mean, you had everything has to be tightened and
1:15:21
Speaker 7: button up when you go public.
1:15:23
Speaker 3: Let me pete you and Baron Davis gonna buy Rebok, So.
1:15:28
Speaker 6: Let me let me explain something something. So let me
1:15:37
Speaker 6: explain something, right.
1:15:40
Speaker 8: I have some incredible partners that we put a package
1:15:44
Speaker 8: to go to the table, and our people don't understand
1:15:49
Speaker 8: that we could do this. And so what I learned
1:15:51
Speaker 8: on this journey, I'm going to educate my people on
1:15:53
Speaker 8: the journey by get an opportunity and.
1:15:56
Speaker 6: They pick our bid and history will be made.
1:16:00
Speaker 8: But history is gonna be made either way it goes,
1:16:02
Speaker 8: because I'm educating my people on this journey. You know,
1:16:07
Speaker 8: my people don't realize that these large companies like this
1:16:11
Speaker 8: that we really can buy.
1:16:13
Speaker 6: They got banks that just by the debt for these companies.
1:16:17
Speaker 6: They never taught us that.
1:16:19
Speaker 8: So what I'm gonna teach my people on this journey
1:16:22
Speaker 8: how this is gonna get done even though we already
1:16:25
Speaker 8: have the money in a bank to buy this but
1:16:28
Speaker 8: the people I have around me are so smart to
1:16:30
Speaker 8: It's like, know what we're gonna pay for this and debt?
1:16:33
Speaker 6: And my people never understood that.
1:16:35
Speaker 8: And that's what I'm gonna teach my people and being James,
1:16:38
Speaker 8: We're gonna buy so many other companies like this, just
1:16:41
Speaker 8: from this journey to know that I can do it
1:16:44
Speaker 8: and say, oh, Pee, you work.
1:16:45
Speaker 6: Just how you know how much I don't work. You
1:16:48
Speaker 6: don't know. I've got nothing in my name. I feel
1:16:50
Speaker 6: it worth nothing. But I control a lot of companies.
1:16:54
Speaker 6: I control everything I got trusted in a lot of companies.
1:16:57
Speaker 8: I don't need to take nothing with me. I'm gonna
1:17:00
Speaker 8: be able to buy get whatever I want because I
1:17:03
Speaker 8: have the trust and the control of these companies. So
1:17:06
Speaker 8: we have to teach that top people stop counting somebody
1:17:09
Speaker 8: rich pockets. You're sitting at home, don't have nothing on
1:17:12
Speaker 8: the internet trying to figure something out. This ain't no
1:17:14
Speaker 8: Internet game, bro, I'm trying to educate this real life.
1:17:19
Speaker 6: Don't take a picture. So this.
1:17:36
Speaker 8: We have to teach the culture this because they don't know.
1:17:40
Speaker 8: They sitting back trying to figure out. So how you
1:17:42
Speaker 8: think Reginald Lewis and all those people that came here
1:17:44
Speaker 8: for us. How they bought these companies educational.
1:17:47
Speaker 6: Wisdom and think about it.
1:17:50
Speaker 8: We are the narrative when they're talking about CELSA. For
1:17:52
Speaker 8: one thing, Reebok will not be successful unless they sell
1:17:56
Speaker 8: it to us. As African Americans. We need a chance
1:17:59
Speaker 8: to be able to put we the one blew that
1:18:01
Speaker 8: company up, like think about it, but we never. But
1:18:08
Speaker 8: what I want, this is what I want to stop
1:18:11
Speaker 8: us being a face to these things.
1:18:12
Speaker 6: And think about it.
1:18:13
Speaker 8: They offered me all kinds of deals. I'm like, Nah,
1:18:14
Speaker 8: I'm smarter than that. But I'm from the project. I
1:18:16
Speaker 8: shouldn't be as smart as y'all think. I am right,
1:18:19
Speaker 8: I do have education. And so what I learned was
1:18:22
Speaker 8: they want to make us the face. They want to
1:18:24
Speaker 8: give us a minority ownership of these companies. So why
1:18:27
Speaker 8: I'm gonna give you ten million dollars to go be
1:18:30
Speaker 8: a minority ownership of the NETS and then you go
1:18:33
Speaker 8: get build this nice facility because you got a minority owner,
1:18:36
Speaker 8: and then we have no control. We're changing that narrative,
1:18:40
Speaker 8: and it's gonna take time. It's not an overnight process.
1:18:43
Speaker 6: So we have to be willing.
1:18:46
Speaker 8: Yeah, we want in We won't we come into the
1:18:48
Speaker 8: table and we got a team to go with us.
1:18:51
Speaker 8: We have the right lawyers, the right accountants, and all
1:18:53
Speaker 8: these things to go with us. And so we got
1:18:55
Speaker 8: the right nerves with us. I don't gangsters with me.
1:18:58
Speaker 8: I need nerds. I got a old team of nerves.
1:19:01
Speaker 8: I'm the only gangster in the room.
1:19:03
Speaker 6: I'm just telling up like I don't want no gamess.
1:19:09
Speaker 8: But I cut all them off, you know, because think
1:19:12
Speaker 8: about it, some of us want to be the realist
1:19:14
Speaker 8: and the toughest, and then when we go to jail
1:19:16
Speaker 8: and go to prison, then we get to cry, no, man,
1:19:18
Speaker 8: take your lick all, y'all, because that's what I did.
1:19:21
Speaker 6: I took my linque when I was in the streets.
1:19:23
Speaker 8: But I got down on my knees to go out
1:19:24
Speaker 8: and say, man, give me, ask for forgiven, and say
1:19:26
Speaker 8: you give me a second chance. I'm gonna do better.
1:19:29
Speaker 8: I ain't gonna sit in there and be like, oh,
1:19:30
Speaker 8: I want to be the toughest dude in the world. Man,
1:19:33
Speaker 8: I want to learn from my mistakes. I want to grow.
1:19:34
Speaker 8: I want to get better. That's what I want to
1:19:36
Speaker 8: teach this culture. Let's get better together. So if we
1:19:39
Speaker 8: could go out there and play basketball and football for them.
1:19:42
Speaker 8: We just to face if they could play pay Lebron
1:19:44
Speaker 8: James that amount of money. Imagine a guy who owned
1:19:47
Speaker 8: the team what he made.
1:19:48
Speaker 6: So think nobody if he could pay him two hundred
1:19:51
Speaker 6: millions and don't flinch, what do they make big Lebron James?
1:19:57
Speaker 8: Because man, Lebron changed the game. It the game together
1:20:02
Speaker 8: and even put a team out. And I'm just saying,
1:20:04
Speaker 8: I'm just using because he's the biggest in the game.
1:20:06
Speaker 8: But Lebron really gets it with a lot of these
1:20:09
Speaker 8: players don't get it. So we got to give him
1:20:11
Speaker 8: his just due because the team that he had while
1:20:15
Speaker 8: he playing basketball, he understand business. It's a lot of
1:20:18
Speaker 8: them don't. And I'm gonna tell you know why, because
1:20:21
Speaker 8: everybody get a financial advisor, don't even know what they do.
1:20:25
Speaker 8: They got guys a financial advisor come and say you
1:20:27
Speaker 8: know what, I'm gonna take five percent of your money. Son,
1:20:29
Speaker 8: you have to give me nunts. So you feel like, oh,
1:20:32
Speaker 8: I had to get that white man nothing. He gonna
1:20:33
Speaker 8: be my financial bosy list. Be honest, No matter, Look
1:20:36
Speaker 8: look what the game come, you just made two hundred
1:20:39
Speaker 8: million dollars. He got five percent or two hundred million dollars.
1:20:42
Speaker 3: How much is that ten million?
1:20:44
Speaker 6: What you just mad him three months ago?
1:20:48
Speaker 8: The man after Lisa Entertainers gave their mama ten million
1:20:52
Speaker 8: dollars out their money.
1:20:55
Speaker 6: Let't be honest.
1:20:56
Speaker 8: So we have to educate ourselves to this, so you
1:20:59
Speaker 8: don't even know what the fun and then they go
1:21:01
Speaker 8: invest your money in penning stocks while you're playing basketball
1:21:04
Speaker 8: and keep us away from each other, or don't bring
1:21:07
Speaker 8: don't put them around them because them niggas smart right there.
1:21:09
Speaker 6: We don't want you to be around them.
1:21:11
Speaker 8: So we can't even give you the game because they
1:21:14
Speaker 8: don't want you around us. And all we really just
1:21:15
Speaker 8: trying to do is help, and I give it to
1:21:18
Speaker 8: people for free. So think about it.
1:21:20
Speaker 6: If we are stronger together and we educate them, if
1:21:24
Speaker 6: one of them get it.
1:21:25
Speaker 8: So that's why I'm doing my kids. My kids some
1:21:26
Speaker 8: of the toughest in the country nine basketball. But I'm
1:21:29
Speaker 8: saying that if you get to the league, what you
1:21:32
Speaker 8: don't have to go lead. I'm proud of you that
1:21:34
Speaker 8: you hate students coming from when we come. My kids
1:21:37
Speaker 8: on the honor roll, they could go to any college
1:21:39
Speaker 8: they want, and they straight monsters.
1:21:41
Speaker 6: On the court.
1:21:42
Speaker 8: I was at one game do it? Ask me, man,
1:21:43
Speaker 8: what master piece? Uncause the mother too dudes? Monsters or
1:21:47
Speaker 8: that's piece son? You know, so you got to look
1:21:51
Speaker 8: at it. I looked at I showed my kids. I say,
1:21:53
Speaker 8: look at Steph Curry. I play with Steph Curry dad
1:21:56
Speaker 8: as Charlotte. Steph Curry turned into a marksman because of
1:21:59
Speaker 8: the working. I tell my sons, I get up at
1:22:03
Speaker 8: five o'clock. If I don't see you up at five,
1:22:05
Speaker 8: then guess what. You ain't serious? So guess what I'm
1:22:08
Speaker 8: not investing in that. If you ain't up at five,
1:22:11
Speaker 8: were cool, because guess what your your masterpiece of You
1:22:14
Speaker 8: got an X on your back. They're already saying, oh well,
1:22:17
Speaker 8: you ain't that good? So you got something to prove it?
1:22:20
Speaker 8: And they know what I love about my kids. They
1:22:21
Speaker 8: understand we're building a generation of wealth. I said, what's
1:22:24
Speaker 8: the most important thing you're doing when you're out on
1:22:26
Speaker 8: the court. You said, I'm protecting my family name. That's
1:22:31
Speaker 8: what I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying, And
1:22:34
Speaker 8: that's what we gotta be.
1:22:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely all.
1:22:42
Speaker 4: So what's the what's the what's the what's the vision
1:22:44
Speaker 4: going forward, like what's the ten year, five, twenty thirty year?
1:22:47
Speaker 3: Playing? Like we talked about what we got going on
1:22:50
Speaker 3: right now, what's the vision?
1:22:51
Speaker 8: So the vision, the vision for me is uh let
1:22:56
Speaker 8: Nipsey hustle Legacy Live. The marathon continues, continues to out.
1:23:01
Speaker 8: And that was that was y'all talk about mentorship. That
1:23:04
Speaker 8: was a kid that I knew in the eighth grade
1:23:06
Speaker 8: and I mentored him. He had he went to my
1:23:08
Speaker 8: program in Cali. It's called Urban Born. Me and Janelle
1:23:12
Speaker 8: created a program to get gangs off the streets and
1:23:15
Speaker 8: into the classrooms. And so this guy always start out
1:23:19
Speaker 8: the box. But the one thing we didn't realize that
1:23:22
Speaker 8: even these communities, we have to educate ourselves on how
1:23:25
Speaker 8: to survive. So you as us having well, we got
1:23:29
Speaker 8: to know that. And so it's to educate you know,
1:23:32
Speaker 8: even people from our culture that want to be successful.
1:23:35
Speaker 6: In business, you still have to survive.
1:23:38
Speaker 8: You have to survive to be because like I said,
1:23:40
Speaker 8: we come from a world of self hate and we
1:23:43
Speaker 8: eliminate each other for the bag.
1:23:46
Speaker 6: And you know, like if you listen to all these songs,
1:23:48
Speaker 6: get rid of the plug? Do all this? Okay, well,
1:23:50
Speaker 6: what's the plug gone? Where're gonna get something from and
1:23:56
Speaker 6: so now we have to educate.
1:23:58
Speaker 8: So we we're building wisdom. It's not about money. We
1:24:02
Speaker 8: don't pray for money. We pray for wisdom. And so
1:24:05
Speaker 8: now we have to build this with us passing this
1:24:09
Speaker 8: wisdom down, opening these doors. Me and James like no,
1:24:12
Speaker 8: we brothers from another month, because we got real love
1:24:16
Speaker 8: for each other. Like you know what, some of us
1:24:17
Speaker 8: have bad days, some of the good days. Wherever they help,
1:24:20
Speaker 8: we're gonna help each other. That's just how it go
1:24:21
Speaker 8: is love. We have to show the culture that all
1:24:24
Speaker 8: this hate we got, we gotta fix this with love
1:24:27
Speaker 8: and we got to give the negative to something positive
1:24:29
Speaker 8: or we're gonna keep sending us to be incarcerated. And
1:24:33
Speaker 8: our thing is we want to change that narrative. So
1:24:35
Speaker 8: this is not just about making money. That's why we
1:24:37
Speaker 8: want the world to note. This is about building a
1:24:40
Speaker 8: better culture of people and educating them financially and growing
1:24:43
Speaker 8: companies and building business so we could feed our people.
1:24:46
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:24:47
Speaker 7: I mean it's also too, my brother, it's about creating
1:24:49
Speaker 7: more of us. Yeah right, you know, so if you
1:24:52
Speaker 7: multiply me and p and Wise and you know, most
1:24:55
Speaker 7: of the people in this room that have, you know,
1:24:58
Speaker 7: an attitude like, hey, we're gonna go out and get it.
1:25:00
Speaker 7: All we need is the information. Right once we do that,
1:25:05
Speaker 7: you know, and it's been done before. But then you know,
1:25:08
Speaker 7: you talk about Black Wall Street and some other things,
1:25:10
Speaker 7: but it's always been destroyed over a period of time.
1:25:13
Speaker 7: If you look at history. You know, even the brother Philler,
1:25:18
Speaker 7: you know, when they found out that his product was
1:25:21
Speaker 7: black owned, that's when his business died. And it died
1:25:25
Speaker 7: less than about six months.
1:25:26
Speaker 3: What company was done.
1:25:29
Speaker 8: Company?
1:25:30
Speaker 6: Yeah?
1:25:31
Speaker 7: Right, you know, So you know, it's it's really about
1:25:35
Speaker 7: creating more of us, you know, and and it's also
1:25:39
Speaker 7: by creating the attitude that we want to do better.
1:25:43
Speaker 6: You know.
1:25:43
Speaker 7: I mean, everybody got a choice. Man, I'm like and
1:25:45
Speaker 7: I you know, and I'm telling ps that we can.
1:25:48
Speaker 7: We can't save everybody, but the part the people that
1:25:51
Speaker 7: we do, it's in that direction. Those are the people
1:25:54
Speaker 7: that really wanted you know what I'm saying. Like, you know,
1:25:57
Speaker 7: when I was coming out of school, I got a
1:25:59
Speaker 7: basketball scholarship come out of high school. You know, I
1:26:03
Speaker 7: went to this small school and I was there and
1:26:07
Speaker 7: I was like, you know, I had to make a decision.
1:26:09
Speaker 7: You know, I'm I'm I wasn't even serious about school.
1:26:11
Speaker 7: I just felt like I was gonna play in the NBA.
1:26:13
Speaker 7: I had no other options other than sports. So giving,
1:26:18
Speaker 7: you know, are people more options other than being a
1:26:20
Speaker 7: rapper and being and doing sports. And like you said,
1:26:24
Speaker 7: you know somebody that's financially suitable to be that bet,
1:26:27
Speaker 7: that next star and then in the financial business. That's
1:26:32
Speaker 7: what's next for us. And we show how successful we
1:26:35
Speaker 7: are and we keep creating that, we're gonna create a
1:26:38
Speaker 7: whole plethora of people that's gonna come behind us, you know,
1:26:41
Speaker 7: and strengthen you know, other people, and it's just going
1:26:45
Speaker 7: to be you know, it's just going to trick late,
1:26:47
Speaker 7: you know, and and to continue for years. But it
1:26:50
Speaker 7: has to start with us.
1:26:52
Speaker 4: I appreciate you, brothers. What's your vision? I want to
1:26:54
Speaker 4: want I want to hear from you, from you.
1:26:56
Speaker 10: Going to piggyback off jameson p you know, for me,
1:27:00
Speaker 10: Boss up Rap Snacks Foundation is a resource capture foundation.
1:27:06
Speaker 10: You know, we're capturing resources that have been getting extracted
1:27:10
Speaker 10: out of community. You know, they call our communities under
1:27:12
Speaker 10: resource communities in the not for profit world, in the
1:27:15
Speaker 10: nonprofit world, but we're not under resource. We're over extracted.
1:27:19
Speaker 10: You know. We have all the resources, we the bag,
1:27:21
Speaker 10: everything we need is already in the village, is just
1:27:23
Speaker 10: being extracted. So the Foundation sets up programs to help
1:27:28
Speaker 10: trap those resources. For example, we partner with Denise the broker,
1:27:33
Speaker 10: you know, one of the most popping brokerage firms, real
1:27:38
Speaker 10: estate's brokers, brokerage firms in the country, biggest.

1:27:57
Speaker 7: big on spirit.
1:27:58
Speaker 6: Man.
