He was here before all the Christian something. Now I'm working on what's going

0:31
again after a whirlwind couple of months. Basically, yeah, facts, life
0:40
has been beating the ship out of all of us, man, interrupting everything
0:43
we want to do in life, as it always does. Facts, But
0:47
you know, we gotta keep trucking, you know, and we back,
0:50
so you already know what's going on. Well you're temporarily back. You're better
0:54
going another another run tour. Hey man. The last couple of months from
0:59
me, dog, I had so many things going on. But yeah,
1:02
I'm gonna be visiting Orlando for about a week, man. But it's dope.
1:04
It's very exciting. I'm gonna see, you know, some old friends.
1:08
I'm get to hit some old theme parks. I got an interview with
1:12
here to the Grand Radio the Loia on Saturday to ninth, So that's gonna
1:19
be dope, man, I'm super excited, though, super excited, try
1:22
to help dope. And the last time we tapped in, you were getting
1:25
ready to go to a w wrestling show. Yeah yeah, Yo. Honestly,
1:30
bro, that was super dope man, because you know, long story
1:34
short man. You know, me and my fiance, we you know,
1:38
we'll watch shows and stuff periodically, and uh, we kind of stumbled onto
1:42
this show, Heels on Stars. If y'all haven't heard of it, check
1:46
it out. But basically it's a show about, you know, a local
1:49
wrestling company that was gifted to well, I guess you can't say gifted because
1:56
it was a crazy circumstance how they received it from their father, but you
2:00
gotta watch it to find that out. But basically, they're carrying on the
2:04
legacy of his wrestling company. And you know, you just kind of watched
2:07
the show. Do you see all the like intricacies of you know, wrestling
2:13
and the business side of it, and you know people how they maintain their
2:16
characters and the behind the scenes drama of trying to grow it. It's all
2:21
that kind of aspect of it's super dope. But anyways, the show got
2:24
very interesting to myself and my fiance me being already a wrestling fan and my
2:30
fiance actually being somebody that always was kind of like, you know, it's
2:34
so fake, it's so fake, you know, and you know, obviously
2:37
any wrestling fan knows that, like the fake word is just something you don't
2:39
really say, Like we already know what it is. We're enjoying the show,
2:44
you know what I mean, It's not fake, it's predetermined exactly exactly.
2:49
So anyways, she got to kind of see it from you know,
2:52
that standpoint, and so a w They had a show in the luth A
2:58
couple of weeks ago, and I had been eyeing the show for a few
3:04
weeks before I went out to Massa in Virginia, and I was kind of
3:07
like, you know, lots going on, but if I could make it,
3:09
I'll try to go. And literally brouh Day of, you know,
3:15
my fiance she had she was on call for work, and I was like,
3:19
Yo, these tickets are great, bro, like we gotta go to
3:22
Prices was still good, you know, like AW is still kind of building
3:24
itself up, so the tickets aren't wild, and so you know, day
3:30
of, you know, I went upstairs to her and I'm you know,
3:32
we talked about it, and I was like, yo, I'm about to
3:35
body's tickets. So I just bought them and I was like, yo,
3:38
I know you're on call, but we just gonna have to make it work.
3:39
And so we went there brou We had to check in her bag,
3:43
like to the front desk and everything like and let them know, like,
3:46
hey, you know we called. They said we could bring a laptop if
3:49
we checked the bag in, but we're gonna see this show, you feel
3:51
me, And so we checked their bag in. Thank god, she didn't
3:54
get any calls. Brush she was able to enjoy the entire show and you
4:00
know what I mean. And so then you know, by the time it
4:01
was over, bro, Like, as we were walking out, I was
4:04
like, yeah, I gotta go to the bathroom. Mind you. We
4:06
had went to the merg station, but the line was kind of along and
4:10
I didn't really see anybody I knew, because mind you, I don't follow
4:13
wrestling the way I used to follow wrestling, but since I started watching this
4:15
show, I just had this itch, you know what I mean. I
4:17
was like, bro, I gotta go to a wrestling match. And so,
4:20
you know, anyways, I go to the bathroom and I come back
4:25
and I didn't see anybody I know, but she ends up surprising me with
4:29
the a w T shirt and then she had got her the Billy gun like
4:33
Sissor met shirt and yeah she hit the merged store. Yeah, I see
4:40
him in the airport once. That's that's that man right there. Yeah,
4:43
it was super dope brouh. But yeah, man, great experience and I
4:47
mean honestly brou for both of us. We paid like fifty five bucks and
4:50
I was able to like sit like in a row where I've never been able
4:55
to sit for a wrestling match, you know what I mean, Like like
4:58
man, super super dope, bro super dope. That's a big thing behind
5:03
it. And you know, if you really get to know wrestling and you
5:08
get to know the heels, the heels or the bad guys, you get
5:13
to know the baby face, the baby face of the good guys, and
5:15
you get to know what the pop is. Yeah, exactly what's the pop?
5:18
Yeah, the audience going off once they once they do something, whether
5:24
it's it's announcing a fight or fighting or something, that pop when you're there
5:30
and that audience goes off, that's the most important that that's the best part
5:35
And that and that's the small thing that's part everybody. That's the part that
5:40
I forgot to mention. We went there with Robin basically like hey, and
5:44
I didn't I've been trying not to say my fiance's name, but anyways,
5:46
y'all know now. But we went there with her basically like, you know,
5:51
against wrestling from a standpoint of like it's fake to her walking out buying
5:57
T shirts, like, yo, there's a pay per view the Sunday,
6:00
you're trying to watch it, you know what I'm saying. Like she was
6:02
transformed that night into like somebody that will definitely go back to another wrestling match,
6:08
And that was the dopest part. Yeah, wrestling is definitely one of
6:11
those things that if you just let yourself get caught in the moment. It's
6:15
to me, it's kind of like Halloween Horny Knights, Like I'm not really
6:17
scared when I go, but I let myself get wrapped up in that moment
6:21
so I can enjoy it. You know what I'm saying. I like I
6:25
like the fact that, you know what I'm saying, I'm I'm putting myself
6:28
in that mindset like, oh man, you know this is like a hunted
6:30
thing or whatever, and like you enjoy it a little more that way.
6:33
It's the same thing with wrestling, like if you just go and just take
6:36
it for what it is a form of entertainment. Same thing a movie does,
6:40
same thing a show, does you know what I'm saying. Every That's
6:43
how I am a scary movies, like I allow myself to get scared exactly,
6:46
Yeah, yeah, exactly. If you're just receptive to taking it in
6:50
and pause, you enjoy it, you know what I'm saying. That's why
6:54
you know. But that's that's perfect segue into a topic that I wanted to
7:00
discuss. And as far as my bad real quick before you say that.
7:04
Yeah, And it's kind of kind of lead into that too, because I've
7:08
seen Joe Rogan. He always be talking about wrestling, like in little clips
7:12
that I see because I'll see him. He pops up a lot on my
7:15
TikTok, and I like a lot of the stuff. As far as the
7:17
clips and everything. I've listened to his show a few times. I'm not
7:19
like a like a crazy follower that I'm listening when it drops and everything.
7:25
But yeah, if I got some time, I'll listening here and there,
7:28
I pick and choose which and usually like the episodes that I think I'm gonna
7:31
like, I do, like you know what I'm saying. So I always
7:34
see him talking down on wrestling so much, and it's just so crazy to
7:38
me that somebody like as hard working as him that has interacted with so many
7:42
wrestlers, somebody that is a comedian too, so he understands that type of
7:47
grind, Like I just don't understand how he just belittles wrestling so much.
7:53
Like I feel like somebody like him would have the respect for it to say,
7:57
Yo, it's not my bag, but I respect what's going on there,
8:01
you know what I mean? Right, Yeah, And no, no,
8:07
no, I was gonna say. I mean, I was just gonna
8:09
say that I agree with you from a standpoint of Like it's like we always
8:13
talk about how as creators you respect other creators, you know what I mean.
8:20
Like it's like, yeah, I'm not a comedian, but I know
8:22
the grind of having to chase your dream and deal with you know what I'm
8:28
saying, all of the the hard parts of that. So I may not
8:33
know the comedy route, but I can empathize and I can relate to you
8:37
from a standpoint of like, you know what I'm saying, you had to
8:41
grind it out, you know, And so yeah, yeah, I agree
8:45
with you. I don't know how he can kind of downplay it, yeah,
8:48
And what I want to tap into was the skill of it. And
8:54
what makes these great wrestlers like Hulk, Hogan, the Rock Stone Cold,
9:00
all these classic legendary wrestlers who they were is because they were able to develop
9:07
these characters that when they wanted you to love them, you love them,
9:13
and when they wanted you to hate them, you hated them. And I
9:16
think that's one of the biggest things that goes unseeing like yeah, like it's
9:20
predetermined. Yeah, it's not like one hundred percent live action fighting, but
9:24
it takes a lot of skill for them, for these these wrestlers and these
9:30
people to generate these characters that when you go in an arena with forty fifty
9:35
thousand people for all of them to react that pop right so and real quick,
9:41
just to energy. It goes hand in hand with comedy, where it's
9:45
a thing where you have to figure out how to get to that skilled point
9:50
where you're doing that effectively. And just like comedy, bad wrestling is hard
9:56
to watch the same way bad comedy is hard to watch a big time that's
10:01
even another way how it goes together where it's like, wow, you can't
10:03
appreciate somebody eliciting that reaction from a crowd like that when they know it's fake,
10:09
like they know it's not it's not a legit fight, but they're still
10:13
coming and they're still getting shocked at what happens, like facts and that that
10:18
taps into like the Hog Hogan Joe Rogan episode and they were talking about where
10:24
he came back as the WWE as Hollywood Hogan as the nWo Hogan, you
10:31
know, and and he was gonna come and the Rock was gonna challenge him
10:35
in WrestleMania. He said that he was like coming in to be grimy,
10:41
Like that's when he like he was in the ambulance. No, they put
10:45
Rock in the ambulance, and then Hogan got into semi smashed the ambulance.
10:50
He was saying how they got the Rock out in time, but like he
10:52
was like he was made himself the worst dude for everybody to hate him.
10:56
And he said when he came into that arena, they fucking love them,
11:01
and he's Damn. He's like, this is not what we're supposed to go
11:03
on, Like the Rock supposed to be the good guy, and he will
11:07
still manage the turnery. That's when like they held hands and he pulled the
11:11
Rock and talk some shit in the Rock fucking Rock botted them and like that
11:16
takes skill in the moment in front of the cameras, in front of them,
11:20
like live like that for you to be able to fix it. Yea,
11:26
all the way the direction is supposed to go, that's not scripted,
11:30
that's not predetermined. That's the skill of the person. And for y'all that
11:33
are that are lost as far as wrestling goes, like the biggest event in
11:37
wrestling is WrestleMania, which is basically like the super Bowl in wrestling. It
11:43
literally has higher attendance than the super Bowl. It does bigger numbers like than
11:48
the super Bowl a lot of times, Like it's crazy how much money the
11:52
WrestleMania brings in. And the thing that happened was Rock, the Rock and
11:58
Hulk Hogan had a match where the Rock was the good guy, everybody was
12:01
sharing them and Hulk Hogan was the bad guy. But the day they went
12:05
to wrestle at WrestleMania, just the build up of the story and everything.
12:11
Somehow when they went out there, people were cheering for Hulk Hogan even though
12:16
he was the bad guy, and booing the Rock. So they literally had
12:18
to on the fly at just the whole match and change the whole route of
12:24
how they were going to get to the finish and adjusted to how the crowd
12:28
was reacting, because if they just kept going with the quote unquote script they
12:33
had in their head, it wouldn't have worked because people wasn't cheering the guy
12:35
that they were expecting to cheer. So that's what Joe saying, like to
12:41
do that on the fly, you have it's a perfect storm of two super
12:45
experienced guys at the height of their game figuring out like they know what the
12:50
crowd wants slash. They're good enough to realize like it's fluid, and it
12:54
goes right into I'm glad you mentioned earlier, Joe. The thing I shared
12:56
on Instagram about Michael Jackson talking about how you can't just write a fire song.
13:03
You can't just sit down and say like, oh, I'm gonna he
13:05
was saying, like when he wrote Billy Jean, like the thing that led
13:09
him on that song was he just wanted to do a song with a really
13:11
dope basseline and the baseline came to him first, you know, the baseline
13:16
in the hook, and he was like building the song from there, and
13:20
then the interviewer was kind of asking him, like, yo, but how
13:22
did you think of that? And he's like, bro, it it's just
13:26
what came. It's just what the song needed, is just what the song
13:28
was at the time, like, and that's exactly how I feel about making
13:31
music. It's like the reason why you gotta be in the studio working is
13:35
because you don't know when that's coming, you know what I mean. Like
13:39
you could sharpen the you could sharpen the sword, you know what I mean,
13:41
But you don't know when you're gonna slice it, you know what I
13:43
mean. And that's where you're the thing about being an artist that I said
13:48
before of like as artists were just trying to be right once you know what
13:52
I'm saying, Like, you're just trying to make that perfect formula to make
13:56
it happen once you know that. That's that's that and that's that proverbial break,
14:01
you know what I mean. Like the thing that's gonna propel you to
14:03
that next level to be able to do art more freely, which is,
14:07
you know, without the boundaries of money and you know and other things that
14:11
you got in a way. Yeah, yeah, now you know what,
14:16
And I damn I should have sent it. I send it something. I
14:20
saw something on the Graham that's like you don't and it was something that we
14:24
tap into a lot that you don't need tragedy to create without and you still
14:30
trap into that creativity of tragedy. I should have saved it. It's funny,
14:35
Bro, That's it's crazy that you said that, because it goes perfectly.
14:37
And it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately because even earlier I
14:41
posted something on my story and I just snuck in like a song of me
14:46
rapping like back in the day. Yeah, I saw that I need it.
14:48
I knew that was you, and I threw it in there because,
14:52
like, Bro, I found that song randomly and shout out to my boy
14:56
and Mike Man. It was dog. Literally, I think it was probably
15:01
my last song that I recorded, like as a rapper. You know what
15:03
I'm saying, like how to be like twenty sixteen or something like that.
15:09
But like I found the song randomly and I sent it to him, like,
15:13
yo, I can't believe I found this because shout out to Dolore again,
15:16
buddy, that's gonna interview Quincy. He knows Mike too, like I
15:20
met I met Dolore through Mike, so when I'm at Dolore, he knew
15:26
me as a rapper, like originally, you know what I mean. And
15:28
he was a big fan of what I was doing as far as rapping goes,
15:31
and that songs in particular, like the verse that I spent on that
15:35
song. He always loved that verse because like just the way I laid it
15:39
out and stuff. And so when I found it, I sent it to
15:41
Mike and I hit up Deloria, like, Yo, it's crazy I found
15:45
this song. I thought about him when I heard it. But dog,
15:48
I've been like stuck on that song, like I've been listening to it like
15:52
in my car a lot, you know what I mean. And I'm like
15:54
trying to dissect it, and I'm like, nah, bro, this this
15:58
is a banger, Like you know what I'm saying. Like the song is
16:00
fired, the bars are fired, the versus are like everything about it is
16:03
fired. And it goes into what you were saying, Joe, like I
16:08
was feeling before, Like like, bro, I can't rap no more because
16:12
that energy was coming from a different place, you know what I'm saying,
16:15
Like that's how That's how I was aligning it in my head, Like I
16:18
was thinking in my head like these are the situations slash circumstances I was in
16:25
when I was a rapper, and like the situations I'm in now. It's
16:29
like I can't even imagine writing shit like that, you know what I mean.
16:33
But at the same time, when I was rapping at that time,
16:34
I didn't think that's how I was writing at the time either, you know
16:37
what I'm saying, Like I was still just trying to figure it out.
16:41
But I'm listening to it now, like damn, bro, like I was.
16:44
I was better than I thought at that time, you know what I
16:45
mean. And like he was talking about Joe, like you don't need that
16:51
like triumph for the turmoil or whatever. It just kind of goes to the
16:55
thing I was saying about the Michael Jackson thing, like it all connects.
16:56
Is like the Michael Jackson thing was like, no, you just need to
17:00
be present for it and let the music lead what I'm saying. One of
17:07
the things that I always think about that, you know, really kind of
17:11
shifted the way I thought when it came to tapping into it or tapping into
17:15
that feeling. Was I remember, I think, yeah, it was Howard
17:18
Stern. Fifty cent did a interview with Howard Stern, and you know,
17:23
they were kind of basically talking about him. This was back in like oh
17:26
nine or something like that, about him transitioning into acting and you know,
17:30
how how does he make himself cry? You know what I mean, just
17:33
being fifty cent, you know. And one of the things that he basically
17:40
said was that he trained himself to basically put himself back in specific situations just
17:45
that you know, from him growing up. Like for example, one of
17:48
the situations was or it was basically him walking into his mother's house or his
17:56
mother's place right after his grandmother died, and he was able to take himself
18:02
back mentally to that exact moment and feeling and locking in to that for and
18:08
you know, basically bringing that out of himself for the role that he's playing.
18:12
And I'm like, damn, bro, this is coming out of a
18:17
rapper his mouth, you know what I'm saying like he transitioned into an actor
18:19
and he trained himself to to captivate those emotions. And you know that's something
18:25
that to me is like super dope that I feel like it's it's it's not
18:30
as easy to do as it is to say, you know what I'm saying.
18:33
Yeah, Bro, it's funny that you say that because I there's this
18:37
Tony Hawk game that if I listen to the song from the Tony Hawk game,
18:44
I get like I can I can kind of like trance myself into that
18:48
exact moment of me playing that when I was that age in Wentworth, like
18:53
the feeling that I had, Like I can like literally like zone in on
18:57
it when I hear that song and like you know what I mean, and
19:00
it just I can kind of like like like like you're saying, like you
19:03
can kind of tap into it and just kind of like know what that feeling
19:07
was. It's almost like a timestamp type thing. That song for me was
19:11
bound Over Back Back Dad. Yeah. I think it was like Tony Hawk
19:17
Post Kate two or something like that. Bro. One of my first jobs.
19:22
It's crazy you say that song. One of my first jobs. I
19:25
used to ride my bike to it and it was like dumb far you know
19:27
what I mean. It wasn't like a quick ride. It was like an
19:30
hour ride. And one of the songs that I used to listen to that
19:34
would pump me up on a ride was bombs over Bagdad, Like I had
19:37
that. I had these Sony headphones that I will always buy because they were
19:41
like super cheap. You can catch them fifteen twenty bucks. But they were
19:45
good qua nah. They were like behind the ear ones and gray and they
19:51
just were like super good quality. So I will always buy those headphones whenever
19:55
I needed headphones, right yeah, And like I just remember having them.
19:59
He I was plugged into my phone listening to that song and that being like
20:03
the soundtrack like getting me home and shit, you know what I'm saying,
20:07
Like because it was thumb late at night, so it's like that's another one
20:10
of the songs that when I hear it, I could feel like I'm riding
20:12
a bike. It's darkness. Fuck, you know what I'm saying. I'm
20:15
running. I'm in like a back alley, like going towards like the area
20:19
where I used to live at and stuff. You know what I mean.
20:22
It's crazy you said that specific song. I feel like that's, like,
20:26
right now a big piece of like just being a creator, or at least
20:33
for me. You know what I'm saying is trying to get more repetitive with
20:37
that, because for example, like right before this part, Bro, I
20:41
was telling y'all, like, yo, man, I had a crazy day.
20:45
Yeah, yeah, like I had a crazy day. I'm about I'm
20:47
about to leave town tomorrow. This engineer I've been working with, he sent
20:51
me a free mixing master, but I've basically been traveling and busy and and
20:56
pro Tools was acting up. So it's been like three weeks. I'm trying
20:57
to get it to him because us I leave town tomorrow and that's gonna be
21:00
another week and a half two. I'm not trying to lose it. And
21:03
I also don't want to do bad business. He's all from me, a
21:04
free mix and master, you know what I mean. So, like basically
21:08
right before this episode, like I took twenty thirty minutes to finally lock in
21:14
on pro Tools and record something that I wrote on the way to like three
21:19
four hours from here for work. You know, I had to travel for
21:22
work, So I wrote it in the car while I was driving and laid
21:26
it down real quick right before this pod, and it's like, you know,
21:30
even in that moment, bro, like I feel like I had to
21:33
Like I'm telling you, man, my anxiety was through the roof, Bro.
21:36
You know what I'm saying. I took a couple of hits. I
21:38
sipped on my little you know, sit real quick and had to like lock
21:42
in because I knew that I had the pod coming up, you know.
21:45
And it's like that's like for me as I mean, I'm sure there's probably
21:49
some things like a tweak, but from the standpoint of like, yo,
21:52
it's out, you know what I'm saying, It's like I can listen to
21:56
it. There's somebody got a tweak, I can tweak it. You know
21:59
that that was super dope, and it's like I want to be able to
22:02
do that more consistently, you know what i mean. Yeah, that's something.
22:07
It's just a few I was gonna say, just a few days ago,
22:08
you was wondering when you was gonna be able to tap into something again,
22:11
and then three days later it was the opportunity was there and you took
22:15
its. Yeah. That's something me and Freddie was talking about the other day,
22:19
like just detaching the content creation mind from the actual like creating the creativity
22:29
sense, I mean, like getting out of that, like being mindful of
22:33
it, but getting out of the mindset of like like how you're going to
22:37
use the content or what kind of content you need and stuff like that,
22:40
just making sure you're just making good stuff, you know what I mean.
22:44
Exactly, That's something that happens a lot now, Like no matter how much
22:47
you try to avoid it, you get sucked into the algorithmic aspect of making
22:52
music. And it's just fine in that balance, you know what I mean.
22:59
You can't make it, just make it, then you're gonna lose yourself,
23:03
I feel facts. And that's that's what That's what was always holding me
23:07
back with the rapping stuff, you know what I mean, which is it's
23:10
not even like a thing that's like a big deal to me or anything.
23:14
But even just like I was wondering why you'd even like it is such a
23:18
big deal to me in my head, you know what I mean, Like
23:19
if I if I just even laid some stuff down just for me, like
23:22
what would be the heart of that, you know what I mean? Like
23:25
and then in the chat exactly, so like now I'm like I'm just a
23:30
little more open to it, and I'm just curious and kind of like I
23:33
want to see where we go. Because another curious thing about that song was
23:37
I distinctly remember at that time I was literally about to like make a transition
23:44
into like different kind of music, you know what I mean, Because I
23:45
just I started feeling silly like rapping the same kind of topics and stuff that
23:51
I have been rapping already since I was a teenager, you know what I
23:53
mean. So I just like had like a shift even in like the type
23:57
of stuff I was saying. So like it was, it's just funny that
24:00
that's the last song I'm recording and it's like still it's literally like I just
24:04
left it hanging there in time, and it's like I can just still come
24:08
back to it and it's just right there at that same you know what I'm
24:11
saying, Like the owl is still dug that far. You know, there's
24:15
these many of the years later facts. Yeah, that's all. Well,
24:18
from from the little clip that I heard, it sounds like something you can
24:22
wrap today. Yeah, that's that's the thing about That's the beautiful thing about
24:26
when you're like so locked in to something because I like, rapping for me
24:33
is the thing that was like the most comfortable thing for me because it was
24:36
the thing that I did the longest. Like at that point, I had
24:38
already been rapping for like twelve years or something, you know what I mean.
24:42
When I laid that down and rapping, I just gravitated so much easier
24:47
to it, you know what I mean, So like whenever. And it's
24:52
crazy because it's something I talked about with my my homie the other day that
24:56
he's like to me like he was he's just an amazing rapper, like and
25:00
he don't rap no more like for a long time, like it's been mad
25:04
years, you know what I mean. And you know, he a lot
25:08
of the reasons that he has are not tied to, uh, the outside
25:14
world's expectations, but some of it is to a certain point because it's like
25:18
I'm gonna make this music, but then what I'm gonna do with it,
25:19
you know what I mean. And my thing was kind of like, bro,
25:22
like honestly, like you just got a gift and just you documenting it
25:26
like just for the sake of like, bro, you're that nice, Like
25:30
to me, that's a good enough reason, you know. I mean maybe
25:33
for you, it's not you know what I'm saying. Maybe you don't care
25:34
enough about the music. You know what I'm saying, because I'm obviously I'm
25:37
big on music, so like the music is important to me, and especially
25:41
if I know you got that kind of talent, like I want to hear
25:45
it, you know what I'm saying, So I just go ahead, go
25:48
ahead, No, no, go ahead. So basically all I was gonna
25:52
say, Man, I feel like anybody that's talented with music, bro,
25:56
like you're doing yourself a disservice by not creating music because like we're not here
26:03
permanently. Bro. But like you know what I'm saying, the music lives
26:06
on the art lives on the you know what I'm saying. Like it's something
26:08
to do, bro. And you know, I think there's different things to
26:14
stimulate your mind as you get older, even like this this whole like narrative
26:19
now where like having a creative outlet is corny. Bro. That shit is
26:22
so whacked to me, man, Like facts that that and that's even part
26:26
of like the algorithmic thing that I don't like. It's like you gotta find
26:30
a funny slash creative slash unique way to basically work around what you're actually doing
26:37
to get people to come see it, you know what I mean, Like
26:40
you gotta wrap it in such a crazy elaborate bow, but just to still
26:42
give them the same package, you know what I mean. And that's like
26:47
the part that gets frustrated and it's like, bro, how I present it
26:52
to you? It doesn't matter, Like this is music, you know what
26:53
I'm saying. Like, and that's like the that's that constant artist grind,
26:59
you know what I mean, like trying to figure out how to make those
27:00
two things merge. Yeah, I was gonna say you think that. I
27:04
think that's why podcast so many Possibles albums, because that dude just stayed recording.
27:11
He just stayed recording so so much music every single day and they were
27:17
able to do something. And that's why I think that's why. I don't
27:19
know, but I believe it that Wayne doesn't remember his lyrics because he's wrapped
27:26
so much. Oh yeah, facts yea. Even when I found that one
27:30
song I'm talking about, I sent y'all a few songs and I even sent
27:33
Quincy some of the other day that I was like, bruh, Like I
27:37
didn't even know what, like, I don't remember. I heard it,
27:40
and I'm like, dog, this, I know this is me because I
27:41
recognized my voice. I know I wrote it because nobody ever wrote no ship
27:47
for me? So like, what is this? You know what I'm saying?
27:49
Like, I don't even remember none of it. I'm like, dang,
27:52
bro, like you really and I don't. And I obviously have not
27:55
made nowhere near as much music as a little Wayne, So I can only
27:57
imagine him, like just how much stuff he don't even remember that he just
28:02
laid down, you know. On the flip side of that, this man
28:06
sent me some stuff that I sent him, like, Yo, I think
28:07
your voice was sound dope on this record, bro. And I heard it
28:12
and I was like, damn, this ship was asked. I was like
28:18
or something, Yeah, Bro, I heard And the crazy I've heard about
28:22
it is that as soon as I heard the beat drop and then I heard
28:25
myself rapping, I remember like the process of like actually writing that thinking it
28:30
was like this is dope, Like nah, but that ship was asked.
28:33
Bro. I gotta send y'all my tracks. Yeah, I can't. We
28:40
gotta sign an NDA. You can't share them with nobody, Bro, That's
28:44
exactly how I feel about all them tracks that I sent y'all, And then
28:47
it was just that one. Bro. It was just like stuff to me,
28:49
you know what I mean. I'm just like, damn, bro,
28:51
this, yeah, this is a vibe right here, you know what I
28:52
mean? Like sound like a Nage track back in the day that still his
28:56
today, exactly classic vibe, bro. Like, it's just a certain way
29:02
to create anything. Like anything you create, if you detach all trends and
29:07
time from it, it just hits, you know what I mean. Like,
29:10
it's always gonna hit no matter what. That's why people still, like
29:12
we always say, people still sampling and using old music today, bro,
29:17
because it hits. You say whatever you want. Sometimes you gotta catch it
29:21
at a different point in life, but it's gonna hit, you know what
29:23
I'm saying. I remember telling my daughter that the other day I was playing
29:26
some steely damn music and she's she was like, I got a crazy blend
29:32
of music in my phone. So like something played, and then something else
29:36
played, and then the Steely Dan joint played, and she's like, damn,
29:38
daddy, Like it's crazy how you can have so much fire music but
29:42
then so much trash music at the same time, like I'm like, yo,
29:48
it's funny because remember you told me that right now, and then when
29:52
you get a little older, you're gonna be listening song and be like,
29:53
damn, bro, that's song slides. Because that's just how it is.
30:00
Man. Sometimes it's just gotta hit you at a different years later. And
30:03
that's you know. That's why when I make these mixes and like the people
30:06
who just like old school music and they tell me straight up, like,
30:08
bro, I don't know any of those songs. It was like, yo,
30:11
just it's not about the songs, bro, just play it the whole
30:15
way through. It's not about the songs. But some people just want to
30:18
hear what they want to hear, and anything new they don't want to they
30:21
don't even want to touch, even want to give it a shot. But
30:25
I get it, and you know, it's crazy, Like I think on
30:27
Facebook is the biggest about probably because I don't have Twitter. But like everybody
30:33
who's old school, well who's just my age, hates any kind of new
30:37
music, any kind of new music, like everything that's out there, that
30:44
shit is nuts, that that whole everything blanket. It's just yeah, it's
30:48
just whack because it's like, bro, you know that this is not true,
30:52
Like there's no way there's just not a good song that was made after
30:55
nineteen ninety six, Like you know what I mean. It might not be
30:57
your style, might not be your but you know there's good music still being
31:03
made. You know. Yeah, facts it's sometimes it takes a little a
31:07
little longer to get to it because we don't get the same kind of time
31:08
to like just five on music. And that's another thing too, is that
31:12
like you know, I feel like the industry had so much more of a
31:17
filter back then that like you know, yeah, they weren't always right,
31:22
but when new music came out, people knew new music was coming out.
31:26
You know what I'm saying. Now, so many people can put music out
31:30
however they made please that you know, it's definitely right. Agree. But
31:37
the flip side of that is also like some people don't understand like how cyclical
31:42
life really is. Like we had trash music. You know, there was
31:45
a period, there was a period where they were putting out trendy stuff trying
31:49
to see what hits that it was it was trash, you know what I
31:52
mean. Like there's plenty of songs that you go back and listen to it.
31:56
There's plenty of shows that you go back and watching it, Like Dann
31:59
this was trash. It just caught me at the right time. And it
32:00
goes back to the timing thing, you know what I mean. It's like
32:04
people don't want to accept that stuff that happened for them, that special to
32:09
them is whack too. Yeah, and we all like stuff this whack.
32:14
You know what I'm saying. Our stuff wasn't better. There wasn't you know.
32:16
There's definitely elements, Like Quincy said, the way the music was made
32:20
was different. There was more of a filter, so you had to have
32:22
more of a just natural like like bruh, Like you noticed that person as
32:27
a star right off rip because you didn't have the opportunities, you know what
32:30
I mean, You don't have so many stabs at it. So the filter
32:32
was definitely better. But at the same time, stuff was still trickling true
32:37
through that was trash. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like everybody
32:42
that pretends, like all the movies and everything, like anybody that acts like
32:45
that about their error period, no matter what the error was, It's like,
32:49
bro, yeah, you're just stuck in one mode and mentality, and
32:53
we're just not gonna be able to get past that if that's what you want,
32:57
you know. Yeah, that's like with the on the Track and with
33:00
the with the Travis Scott when the Guna album, the Travis Scott album,
33:06
a lot of new artists albums. If it wasn't for y'all talking about it
33:07
and saying it was actually good, I probably would never gave it listen because
33:12
everybody around me, he says, Nah, everything is trash, trash,
33:14
trash, and like I'm young Thug for me. Bro, like young Thug
33:19
too when I was when I was because like that period when Young Thug came,
33:22
that was like when my period of rapp was ending. So at that
33:25
time I definitely was one of those like, Bro, I'm not listening to
33:29
this. This is trash. You know, until people that I knew new
33:34
music told me like, nah, bro, you're tripping. This dude is
33:36
nice. So I was like, all right, bet, I'm gonna check
33:37
it out. Now. I'm a big Young Thug fan, you know what
33:39
I mean. Some people can't get past the antics, can't get past certain
33:43
things. But dog, look at dudes from the seventies and eighties and hip
33:46
hop, how they was looking at, how they was dressing, the stuff
33:50
they was doing in fact, and for you to say anything about young thug
33:53
brou if you can still say something about young thug and justify that you really
33:59
just stucking in that one cycle, because ain't no way, brous The classic
34:06
rock and roll stars used to have long hair, makeup, bell bottoms,
34:10
glitter blouses like bro that was the style. Pop stars was doing that with
34:16
a little you know, leather vest like Bruye. Anyway, to bring it
34:23
all together to some new school hip hop, I copped at twenty one Savage
34:30
Skin bundle off Call of Duty, Print Guns is hitting the gil. Does
