So in case y'all don't know the fuck we talking about, we talking about the Black Rivers, I was ready to record. Like I've never had this happen to me before. He was ready. Sure. So in case y'all don't know what the fuck we talking about, we talking about the back-divers to the Impeccable Team. Motherfucking Payne. Tallahassee Payne in the building.

New Chain Payne. Yeah, yeah. Rolling Loud, I assume that's what that sounds like. This is my first Rolling Loud. Are you still performing? Yeah. OK, how was it? I had the best set. Not the was it? I had the best set.

Not the best set. I had the best set. Oh, you had? Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah. I had the best set. That's one of my main questions I was going to ask you. Do you still love performing?

That's my favorite thing of this whole. More than making music? It's in a tie with making other people's vision come to life and performing. It's like, that's like my favorite shit. Like to see somebody like, it's like commissioning a painting. You know what I'm saying? And actually have it, actually have somebody come like, wow, that's exactly how I thought that was going to look. And then performing.

It's neck and neck for me. That's my favorite part. And you got some major, major records. So you don't, the me. That's my favorite part. And you've got some major, major records. So you don't, the crowd can literally be your hype man. Yeah, I didn't have to do a lot of singing last night.

I ain't been on stage in like a year and a half. Yeah, I can see it in your face that you saying that. I can see you missing it. Oh, I missed it, man. I ain't been on stage in like a year and some change.

And I didn't know what being tired was until last night. Because that cardio on that motherfucking stage was a different beast, and I was not prepared. But I got tired like halfway through, but you know. I'm also 36, it's not good. Yeah, goddamn, make some noise for that. You hear that?

I'm not even laughing. I shouldn't even be laughing at that. That's not fair. He didn't get to some noise for that. Goddamn. You know that? I'm not even glad for that. I'm not glad for that. I shouldn't even be glad for that. That's not good. He didn't get to the camera. He didn't get to the camera. Yeah, what happened here, bro? I was right here. Oh, OK, OK.

I'm standing here, and I didn't know we couldn't have it on video. Also, can we get my wife a chair? Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh! Can we get her a chair? Is there an extra chance? Sonny, give her a chair.

Sonny, give her a chair. Sonny, get up and give her a chair, bro. You're supposed to give. You're asking other people. You're supposed to give up a chair. Sonny, give her a chair. Sonny, get up and give her a chair, bro. You're supposed to get up. You're asking other people. You're supposed to get up your chair. You're supposed to get up your chair, bro. Sonny, get up your chair. Get up your chair.

What a foul guy. What a foul guy. His A-chair is nicer. Yo, shiver-y as that, for real. That's over, bro. Jesus. Jesus. He's looking around like, damn, these niggas is whack, bro.

So, one of the stories I wanted to get to was, you know, I was in the gym, and I was He's looking around like that. These niggas is whack, man. He's trying to be short. So, one of the stories I wanted to get to immediately was the Usher-Raymond story, right? Okay, yep. Because I started to look more further into it, and y'all said he was your friend. Oh, he still is. Oh, okay. He still is. After this shit?

Yeah, no, I never lost love for Usher. Like, okay. He still is. After this shit? Yeah, no. I never lost love for Austin. Like, that was never a thing. He just made me think about shit a little harder and kind of fucked up my way up there. So what was his exact words? He said, you fucked up music? I didn't change any word he said. That nigga said, you fucked up music for real singers.

And he was dead serious? Dead serious. Like, he wasn't being sarcastic, joking with you? That nigga said, you fucked up music for real singers. And I thought he was joking, and I laughed, and he was like, nah, for real. I was like, oh, okay. What were you supposed to respond to that when he tells you?

Like, what was he expecting you to say? So, for lack of a better term, right, how did you discover Auto-Tune? Because I'm going to be honest with you, what's the guy's name roger trappman um he used it in a totally he wasn't the first box that's a completely different thing he used talk box so that was like you gotta learn how to fucking play keys and you know you gotta play that's the analog version what are you celebrating You

So How did you get so what the wheels you in the studio? Is a fucking commercial. There's a goddamn commercial Dark dark child used it on a Jennifer Lopez Yeah, producer dark child use it on a Jennifer Lopez remix and Producer Dogchild. Yeah, Producer Dogchild used it on a Jennifer Lopez remix, and I heard it for like two seconds. I was like, I gotta find out what that is because I want to use it on a whole song. You know what's funny? That's how

I got introduced, told about Auto-Tune was Jennifer Lopez. Somebody said that they, I was in an engineer, I was with an engineer and he told me, he said, listen, this is what I gotta do for Jennifer Lopez vocals. So I didn't know, I thought it an engineer, and he told me, he said, listen, this is what I've got to do for Jennifer Lopez vocals. So I didn't know, I thought it was just some singing shit.

Now, you, like, you took it, and now everybody, like... I took it and used it how it wasn't supposed to be used. Well, you said you heard the Cher record, was that after? I didn't hear the Cher. Oh, you didn't? No, I hadn't heard the Cher record up until that point. Oh, wow. Once I found it, then people started saying, you know, Cher did this, and. I hadn't heard the Cher record up until that point. Oh, wow. Once I found it,

then people started saying, you know, Cher did this. Then I heard Kanye use it before my shit came out. I used it before Kanye, but Kanye's use of it came out before mine. Right, right.

So it was a ton of people who had used it, and nobody was able to influence a generation. You know what I'm saying? So it was highly sought after. Well, everybody was using it. Nobody was using it.

But just not at the level that you used it. Exactly. And even the people that did, like Kanye did it on a bunch of interludes on Kyle's Dropout. And I heard that. I was like, oh, that's the shit I be using. And then it still wasn't able to influence a generation

until I got involved with 808s and Heartbreaks. And then now everybody's like, oh, I got it from God. Now, is performing auto-tune harder? Huh? When you perform, do you perform in auto-tune? Oh, no. I never use auto-tune live. Never use, okay.

Because the thing about auto-tune, it only can process one voice at a time. Wow. So if you're performing with it and you're singing, but also 20,000 people are also singing. It goes to different. It fucks up your own autotune. Oh, because it's got to autotune everything. It's got to autotune 20,000 voices at one time.

But autotune is only able to do one at a time. So I never use it live. I make sure I do everything I do live is autotune free because it just sounds fucking stupid. All right. Oh, boy. That was three days of that. Wow. Rolling loud.

Wow. Just all performing with autotune. Just everybody. So three days of that sound. And I don't know how motherfuckers could listen to that. That was crazy. Do you realize how big All I Do Is Win

record is? So we started calling it the confetti song. The parade song? Oh, the confetti? The confetti song. The confetti song. I thought you said confederate.

I was like, what are you doing? We are in the south. We're singing in the South. You know, switch sides and you kind of get us. Where are we going with this? No, we call it the confetti song because you only play it when confetti is happening. It's that big to where it's like the end of every sports event. Yes. The end of every fucking thing.

People are changing the words to fit their narrative. It's just, yeah, I know how big it is. The publishing check confetti, I'm assuming. Oh, just confetti. Just confetti. Now I'm just ripping them up for fun. Is this something that Khaled said to you? He said, look, I'm going to do this.

Yeah, he was like, I'm tired of losing. I'm tired of losing. I refuse to lose. All I want to do is win. And I'm like, cool. You'm tired of losing, I refuse to lose. All I wanna do is win and I'm like, cool, you just wrote the song, get out. I went straight in, I went straight in, but I did the ad-libs first. And he didn't understand what I was doing.

You, so you did it in reverse? I did it in reverse. Oh, you one of those guys. I learned it from Busta Rhymes. All the time, it's fucking weird. So I learned it from Busta Rhymes, I did the it all the time. It's fucking weird. So I learned it from Busta Rhymes. I did the ad-libs first to set the tone for the top line. Khaled was like, I don't like this.

We got to pick another beat. I'm like, dude, you got to get the fuck out of here for a second. If you would just accommodate me and leave, nigga. So he left. And when he came back, it was the biggest song. Wow. You know what I'm saying? It's like, I don't, correct me if I'm wrong.

You will. Go ahead. It's the biggest one. It's the biggest one. Thank you. I'm still, I just, how many of those do we have? Can we get more of those? What?

So I can take home the... Oh, the fruits? What do you mean? Can we get more of those so I can take home the... Oh, the fruit? We'll mail you. We'll give you whatever the fuck you need. You want everything? I just want to do that for everything. So, so Asa says this, right? And I think

you said you went into depression, but you didn't go into depression because of that. That was just a straw that broke the camel's back. That was just a straw that broke the camel's back. Uh-huh. That was just it. I was going through so much shit already,

you know, from the initial hate of autotune, you know what I'm saying? Just from everybody. But it was like, I can handle Twitter and Instagram and shit like that.

I can deal with that. And at that time, I was like, what, you can do 15 second videos? Def autotune. I'm chilling. Def autotune.

I can deal with that. Like, I don't even know Jay-Z. Like. Def Autotune. I can deal with that. Like, I don't even know Jay Z. Like, you know. Like, I can deal with that shit, but. Did he perform it in front of you

or something like that at Summer Jam? No, it wasn't at a award show. We gonna get to it. We gonna get to it. Okay, okay.

So, all that shit was fine, but I actually, like, you talking about somebody like Usher that I sat in my bedroom writing down lyrics to his songs. Oh, I thought you said you and him sat in your bedroom.

I'm like, what's going on? Jesus Christ. A different show. No, but like, I'm sitting, like, as a kid, I'm sitting in my bed writing down lyrics to his songs so I can learn his songs. I'm writing down fucking My Way. Like, you know what I'm saying? She likes it in my way. What I say. I'm right now fucking my way. Like, you know what I'm saying? She likes it my way. What I say, I'm screaming in my room.

I'm like singing this nigga's song and then that person that I respect so much tells me that I fucked up everything. And the weird part about it, you said you went to the back of the plane. No, it was first class, you know, the little cut what a flight attendant they called me back there so to have that like you know you you know you know that one person

in the clique that's always apologizing for something right like talking about bad problems like that that's me that's because somebody he truly respected right told him to stop doing something that he actually liked doing. And that's how that felt. So you know what I'm saying? I can deal with Twitter and people I don't even fucking know and shit like that, but somebody I truly respect coming to me and saying that,

that fucking tore me down, bro. And he didn't really explain it? He just said it like that? Oh, no, bro. I called Mark Pitts after that. I called Mark Pitts when I got off the plane. I'm like, bro, your boy. And he's like, oh, man, he just be saying shit. after that. I called Mark Pitts when I got off the plane. I'm like, bro, your boy. And he's like, oh, man, he just be saying shit. Oh, that's like Mark Pitts' manager. Right.

Mark Pitts' manager at the time. Because I'm trying to figure out why, yeah. Mark Pitts' manager at the time, like, dog, your boy. And he's like, oh, yeah, he just be saying shit. And I'm like, that doesn't explain it. That doesn't explain it. That doesn't help me at all. That doesn't help me at all.

I'm just trying to picture you when he tells you that, though. Do you just walk away with your head down? What do you say right after he says that? Nothing. I'll tell you a quick story. Absolutely fucking nothing. I want you to tell me if you're one of these type of people. If I think a person don't like me, I immediately don't like them.

Is that petty? No. But I'm the kind of person that if I find out somebody don't fuck with me, I try to figure out what I did. Oh, no. I'm not. Yeah. You blame yourself.

I try to because I've been gaslit so much in my fucking career by managers and labels and shit. It's, I automatically think everything that's happening to me is because of me. Right, right. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I automatically think that. So in your head, after Usher says this, you're saying, you know what? He might be right. No.

He might be right. Yeah. Because this is, you got to think, I've seen this man work. He's got perfect pitch. He's got, this man never needs. You respect him so much. He never need auto-tune. Like, he never need it.

This nigga, in my eyes. This is almost like the next Michael Jackson. In my eyes, this nigga's the best musician of all time. If he said it, this is like Herbie Hancock telling me I hit a wrong note. Bro, I did. I obviously did. I'm gonna tell you the opposite of me. I would immediately say, I'm throwing confessions away.

I would immediately... I think you would've punched him in the face. I'm the opposite. I'm the opposite. Now I'm in my hotel room singing... And I'm completely the opposite, bro. I'm like, I'm fucked with this nigga. He might be right. Okay, so now,

that's where all the two comes out. He's not dissing you. Okay. He knew what he was doing. It's not like he didn't know. When the nigga say something is wack, it's wack. He said, what did he say, too many T-Pain? He said you T-Pain-ing too much. Right.

But that's actually bigging you up. In the second verse. You're the originator, you're saying everything else. In the second verse. Okay. Nigga, I started out as, I was DJ Payne before I was T-Pain. Nobody makes it to the second verse.

Oh shit. Nigga, yeah, tell me a song that Drake got on where he goes second. He knows this. This man knows this. Nobody makes it to the second verse. So where are you at when you actually hear? I'm at home. I assume someone's calling you no

Anybody has a comment I mean people work calling but I'm just picking up the phone. I said I heard it What do you hear it what do you immediately think You think he's dissing you or you think... Of course. Oh, really? Of course. I didn't even think that. He can't... A wise man once said...

Go ahead. Can't knock the hustle. Right. Right. But that's the, like, I'm the face of this. Just like Lil Yachty was the face of mumble rap. Anytime somebody talked about mumble rap, Lil Yachty was the first person to come up.

Right. I was the face of auto-tune. Anytime somebody said auto-tune, I'm the face. Right. So when you say auto-tune is whack, I'm the face. Right. If I would have said fucking Blue Yankees are terrible, everybody would have been like, are you Justin Jay-Z now?

Yeah. No, I just said I'm not from New York, nigga. I don't wear Blue Yankees. If someone says, yo, y'all podcast motherfuckers, we're going to take it personal. Right. Yeah, you're right. You know, the podcast. Everybody's doing a podcast. Everybody's doing a podcast.

What I took, the Jay-Z, because I thought he was kind of bigging you up, like, yo, y'all taking his shit. Like, it's T-Pain is the first. That's his shit. That's how I took it. I'm not you, so I can't. On the second verse. Yeah.

You got a good point with that second verse. I never peeped that. As a DJ, I concur. You know how far down the sales of Molly went

when that nigga said, I own Pop Molly? Really? Yo, bro, anytime this nigga say something is whack, it's trash.

Everybody like, nigga, I don't fuck with that shit no more. I'm not, I'm not gonna lie to you, bro. You heard what Hov said, nigga? He shouted me out on the phone once. He said, I tried to hit big and some cuts from Nori. And I kid you not, my rate went through the roof.

I didn't know. I was like, fuck, what the fuck? He just bigged me up. And I was dope yesterday. But he bigs me up now. What the hell? Nah, I mean, his word is like, I mean, it's ho, bro. So let me ask you, as an artist,

you think this is a shot being taken at you? Do you? You got to keep in mind, this is an after-usher. Right. So it's like, fuck! But the usher should be in public, though. Jesus! That's just you.

That's just you in public. Right. So I'm already feeling it. And then the fucking ho is, god damn it! So do you go pick up the pen and Right, so I'm already feeling it, and it was fucking horrible. God damn it! Did you go pick up the pen and say, do I answer back? I did.

You did? I did. It was going to be the intro of my next album. You did a diss record to James? Yeah, it was crazy. Like, what the fuck? What the fuck, you can rap now, nigga? What the fuck is this? No, but I was also drunk,

so that didn't happen. So I was real into myself at the time. But no, I didn't, like, while I was in there. Who was the neighbor that disrepected you? I don't even know. I can't even fucking remember. Okay, all right. Like, I was, like, really drunk.

Like, it was, like, the end. I was, like, I was, like, ready to go. I was ready to be done. I was, like, if I'm going to go out. Done with the business? I was done with life, nigga. I was, like, no, I was really suicidal for real. You with a business I was done with life Losing your mind at this point. I was like good. I was good. Like what the fuck am I doing this for? Like I'm good. If I'm a go out I'm gonna go out super drunk

I'm gonna just drink myself to death. Hopefully my heart rate goes up fast enough and I could just so I saw your engineer It's somewhere sitting on this record, somewhere in the world. Yeah, I know I did it in Vegas. I know I was in Vegas at the time because I made the record after I did a show in Vegas and everybody in the crowd was like, Jay-Z killed you, bro. Oh, my God.

I was like, all right, I'm never doing shows again. So that's it. right, I'm never doing shows again, so. That's it. I could imagine. What, terrible? And it was the worst. And it's all like bros. It's all, you know, white boys with their shirts off and shit. J.D., you're just a rock bro. Fuck you, bro.

And I'm like, my dude. I'm up there, like, playing the piano. I'm like. Anything but auto-tune. No auto-tune at all. The whole time I'm playing the piano and singing, I'm like... Anything but auto-tune. No auto-tune at all. The whole time I'm playing the piano and singing, I'm like, alright, y'all got it. Fuck you niggas, I'm out.

I ended the show early, and then I just went and drank myself, tried to drink myself to death, and I was just like, I'm done. Hennessy was involved. Was Hennessy involved? It was a lot of Hennessy. It was all Hennessy. What a bad rap for Hennessy right now. Straight room temperature Hennessy. What a bad rap for Hennessy right now. Straight room temperature Hennessy. Room temperature.

Damn. Yeah, I was straight out the bottle. I was just like, man, I'm going to just go. Like the next day, my managers was like, do you remember saying fuck Jay-Z on stage yesterday? And I was like, no, I didn't. He's like, cool, here's a video. And here's it in auto-tune. Somebody remixed it.

But no, man, I was just ready to go, man. And I went in the studio and I started recording the record. And my managers were like, I think we just need to take a break. You're on a lot of records. That's just going to last. People are doing promo for you. You're not going lot of records. Right. That's just going to last. People are doing promo for you. You're not going to... It's true.

You're not going to be missed. And then we were supposed to take a break for like two months, and I took a break for like four years. Wow. You know what? Sorry to change the subject a little bit, but a lot of times, you said something that they won't miss you.

The fans have to actually miss you. A lot of times when artists... They have to. When an artist to actually miss you. Like, a lot of times when artists... They have to. When an artist is over, you know, over, you know, on all the things, you're on the radio, you're on the...

They don't miss you. They don't appreciate you. Like, me doing shows overseas, I always felt better because they only got to see me once a year as opposed to doing it in Brooklyn

when my fuck is just so used to you. Like, fuck you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That is a... That's probably the most Brooklyn thing I've heard. That shit's real normal. They're like, yeah, I saw Jay-Z walking down the street. Shit was crazy. So if this record was to ever see the light of day.

I don't even think I finished it. Because my manager came in the booth while I was doing it. In the booth, yeah. And I was like, let's just stop. Good manager with a trashed ass shirt. Let's just stop. Let's just, all right, now you're doing too much. And I'm like, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

And he's like, okay, now you got to go home. What year was that record, The Death of Auto-Tune? Anybody remember? That's Engineer. Come on, Has. You started doing records, though, without Auto-Tune, though, right? No? Because I swore. I'm not going to fucking stop it. Look, though, without autotune, though, right? No? Because I swore.

Look, this is the thing. Remember we got a record from him? Uh-huh. I could have sworn that you sent us a record for him that didn't have autotune on it. That was probably an engineer's fault then. Because I was like, yo, you can see. It wasn't me. I didn't do it.

Maybe I turned it down. It was around no reality time. Okay, yeah. 2009. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So did you ever meet Jay after this? Oh, a ton of times. Okay, after Deaf and Hard of Hearing? A ton of times.

Okay, all right. So. I love how he laughs at himself. I'm so fucking awkward, bro. I love it, I love it. I love it. Not your bro. I love it. I love it. I love it. You're normal. I love it.

So I saw him and B at a Grammy after party. I love the floss. I love the floss. See, I just put that together. Him and B at the Grammy after party. You might be the Grammys. Right. I saw the Grammy after party.

He's a big floss. Go ahead. I had two cups of Hennessy, so I couldn't shake his hand. Hennessy ain't going nowhere, huh? Oh, it didn't. It didn't leave. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Tell me, tell me. You didn't shake the man's hand?

I couldn't. I had two cups of Hennessy. His hand is more important than the Hennessy, man. You could've put it down. There's no tables. There's literally nowhere. I had to put it on the ground. It would've been weird, but they were really fucking... You could have did it like this. No, no. They were very full.

I would have had my finger in a hole or whatever. So, two cups of Hennessy. This shit is so stupid. And I was thinking of what to say. I wanted to say two things, and they collided. I wanted to say thank you for everything, but also sorry for the confusion. And I fucking said sorry for everything. Fuck.

He must have been like, huh? And you think he knew that? The nigga, bro, he knew I couldn't shake his hand, and the nigga hit me with one of the, it's all good, bro. Oh, little mans. Little mans, good looking. On your head? Damn it!

Wait, wait, on your head? On my head, bro. Yeah, that was a little, that was a little dick shit. Oh, yeah, bro. It's all good, little man. Ah! What? Why?

Oh, shit. And then, I tried to, oh, god damn. I tried to comfort myself a little bit by doing the elbow to B. She hit the elbow.

The fucking Hennessy dropped on her white dress. Oh, my God. This is getting worse. I was like, you know what? I'm going to go find the closest gun. I'm going to just go ahead and just find the closest gun. This has been great. I appreciate y'all being here.

I'm going to just go ahead and end it. I'm going to go ahead and end it now. I'm just going to go find security. Just come on, man. Kick me out, bro. Somebody come take these. You kicked us out of our house. I can't believe this shit.

I don't know what to do with my hands. Somebody kick me out of this motherfucker, please. Bro, she hit my elbow in the shit like long ass white dress too. Like one of the ones like somebody's supposed to carry behind you and shit. Yeah, it was. I did not do good that day. You just warmed it in front of you one day or Summer Jam or something like that? So.

Okay. I hit two people that was supposedly connected to Jay-Z at Summer Jam. They told me he was triple booked and he wasn't going to be there.

Okay. Because I was calling to say when Jay performs the song, I want to support it. That's fire. I want to go out

and support the shit. Yeah, that would've been dope. They said he's triple booked, he's not even going to be at Summer Jam. Right. That nigga shows up at Summer Jam. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, okay. Cool way to fucking do that, I guess.

I wish my managers would fucking lie for me. So, he comes out on Jeezy's set and then he does a bunch of songs. And I'm like, shit, I want to go. I still want to support the song. Because by this time, I had heard the second verse, and you see painting too much.

And I'm like, oh, okay, cool. I'm going to go out. Keep in mind, Jay-Z is always surrounded with a pack of Muslims I can say that because I'm Muslim pack of Muslims he's surrounded by fruit of Islam all the time niggas in suits boom

Ebro comes up and I say Ebro bro he's about to do the song I gotta go out there he said Ebro says T-Pain's coming make a a hole, F-O-I. Bam. They back up. You can't just get on Jay-Z's stage without, like, it's Jay-Z, my nigga.

You can't just get up there. They make a hole. I go on stage. I'm with him the whole time he's performing the joint. And at the end, I'm like, this is going to be cool as shit because I'm going to shake his hand and then it's going to show everybody that's like it's going to be we're going to squash it right here in front of everybody right

he looks at my hands like good riddance and then he just fucking walks off I'm like god damn it is this worse I thought you were going to say you had two cups of Hennessy we made it worse we made it worse. We made it worse. We didn't say good riddance, though.

He definitely said, bro, you can. He said good riddance? It's Summer Jam. It's on video. He said good riddance, and then walks off. Oh, he walks off. He walked off. Not good riddance and points at you and goes like this.

No, I'm sitting there with my hand out. Oh. He looks at my hand and says, Good Riddance. Is this after the party? Is this after the Grammy party or this is before the? This is before the Grammy party. Okay. Yeah, this is before the Grammy party.

So you didn't spill a Hennessy on B's dress? No, not quite yet. Cool. But no, he looks at my hand and goes, Good Riddance. But he had shades on. I'm not sure he had his eyes open. I don't know. No, he probably didn't see your hand. He wouldn't. had shades on. I'm not sure he had his eyes open. I don't know. No, he probably didn't see your hand.

He had a... I was the only other nigga on stage. I don't know how to... He might have been looking down, maybe he's looking up. He was looking right at me. Come on, man, help me out. I'm not...

You actually cut his head in half. I was the fucking... I was the corniest nigga alive for like six seconds. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Oh my God. Some fucking dumb stories, dude.

Some dumb ass stories, man. Oh my God. I wasn't ready. You know what? People always say like T-Pain has a way of making you feel bad for him, but I'm like, bro, y'all just don't know

the background of these fucking stories. This shit sucks. This shit really fucking sucks. And I don't, I legit never try to, you know, instigate anything

or put these stories out like, oh, this is going to be, this is going to be good for our podcast or anything like that. Like, this is real shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm just fucking transparent

because the image people have in their head of me don't really mean a lot of shit to me. You know what I'm saying? I've learned how to fucking move past what their head of me don't really mean a lot of shit to me. You know what I'm saying? I've learned how to fucking move past what people think of me. You know what I'm saying?

So it's easier to tell these stories when you know you don't give a shit of the outcome. You know what I'm saying? It's just so much easier. It's also better when you're drunk. So this is it.

Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This has been great. Now, recently you was viral, viral, viral for something that you said that you're standing for. Let's stand on creativity.

My day, if I was named Nori, you couldn't even be called Corey because it was, all right, my bad. So what I'm trying to say is, so my favorite rapper is... One of my favorite rappers is Granddaddy RU. If you listen to my stuff, you can't tell that I

love Granddaddy RU because I purposely wanted to be different from them. You have to. You said something that was crazy. You said, we got two babies already. You said, they already doing it! And I think your message was absolutely correct.

But a lot of people don't know you, don't know, so that you were yelling. So when they was yelling, they took it as like you were hating. Yeah. Well, also because I'm older than 25. Okay, cool. So that helps a lot. That helps a lot to say I'm hating. No, the thing, like you said, in our day, if you remotely sounded,

acted, remotely anything similar to another artist, you're immediately canceled. You can't do nothing. Like, bro, you can't well, you couldn't. You couldn't do that

when we were doing our shit. You had to come with something different. Originally. Originally. The labels were looking for different shit. The labels were looking for Andre 3000. Until they weren't. Until they weren't.

Until like, how do we... No, the labels is lazy now. The labels actually... No, but I ain't now. I'm going back then. The labels let you get hot. Do you know labels made $17 billion last year? I believe it, yeah.

You know how much artists made of that? No. 12%. Yeah. Wow. 12 fucking percent. Wow. All artists.

I don't know if you've been on the Discovery page of Spotify lately. It's a lot of fucking artists right now There's more artists than chairs in the world chair for my wife. It's fucking crazy. It's an artist. It's crazy. But we outnumber these motherfuckers and it's easier than ever to be your own label now. And niggas is still choosing to spend somebody else's money because it's just hard to spend your

own money. Plus the labels are in the mix with the streaming shit too. to spend somebody else's money because it's just hard to spend your own money. Nobody wants that. Plus, the labels are in the mix with the streaming shit, too. It's a great company. All of it. You're independent. They're still involved.

You think you're independent, but there's ways to get around that. Niggas is lazy. Look, K just sent bags for you right now. Look, look, look. That went on until, baby. Come on. I didn't do nothing.

I just want to redact. I want to redact the couple statements. I just want to redact the couple things. He was seriously showing off. God damn it. How the hell did y'all niggas... But let's get back to the originality because why did people take your message the wrong way?

Like, why? You said the most perfect thing. Because it makes them not a part of the crowd anymore. The thing that made everybody come together and be like, okay, this is cool is because motherfuckers was like. It worked. I'm not bad at what I do. You just don't understand it. And if you don't understand it, you're old and you're hating.

And everybody wants to be like, well, I'm not old. I don't think I'm hating. So you have to like it. If you are in a friend circle and you pretend to like something for so long, you have to keep doing that. You have to keep that going. If you are the one person in your friend circle that would actually listen to fucking Nickelback,

you're going to be out of their friend circle. Nobody wants to be out of their fucking friend circle. You have to do it. So in order to keep that facade going that you're hip and you're cool and you know what you're talking about, you're just old as fuck, you don't understand it. You have to keep that facade going. And the reason people didn't take,

they knew what I was talking about. They didn't take it wrong. They didn't take it wrong. They just don't want to be wrong. They don't want to be wrong. They don't want to be like, fuck, damn,

this nigga's right. Fuck. Literally the other day, the other day, I couldn't tell what the fuck I was listening to the radio because it all just, the other day, I couldn't tell what the fuck I was listening to the radio because it all

just sounded the same. And I just came and went back to your statement and I was just like, damn, like why the fuck, why was he being chastised

for saying the truth? You know what, you know what, another reason that people took that message wrong because there was nothing before that. So what I was doing

was my Twitch stream where people send me their So what I was doing was my Twitch stream where people send me their music and I literally do a whole Twitch stream where I rate music on my Twitch stream. So I'm rating music on my Twitch stream and everybody's sending me the same shit. And I'm like,

same things. Bro! I can literally tell you he's frustrated. Bro, I was like, dude, because I like make money for that shit. You know why? I make money for that shit. I'm like, if I get it, I'm getting paid for this shit, but please make it enjoyable. Part of the reason why people were coming at you was because you, a lot of people didn't know that you coined autotTune, and everyone else kind of sounded like you.

Right, so they think I'm sounding like... Yeah, exactly. They're thinking that you was a part of the bunch. So I was reading the comments. I literally posted it on mine. So I posted your clip on my Instagram. Yeah, we got to talk about that, too. And I read all the comments, and they're like,

well, most people were confused, because you know what it is? I think the fans nowadays, they have a five-year memory, and that's it. I think that's too long. That's too long? Yeah, that's way too long. I'm telling you what it is. It's money. It's money.

It's a popularity contest. Okay. I like money. P and Coach from QC. P and Coach? From QC. Okay. I like money. P and Coach from QC. P and Coach? From QC. Okay. Came out and they said

every time you drop a single, you automatically have to spend 200 grand. Yeah, I saw that. Radio, promo, merch. To make it more... Wendy Day also talked about this. To make it the most popular.

Mm-hmm. All right. If you don't do that, you're not cutting through the fog. Yeah, I agree with that. So if you're not willing to do that and you're, like I'm doing right now,

bro, I'm spending minimal money. I think on my new record, we probably have 15 grand right now. Just chilling. Making your new record? My new record. Recording it?

Just promoting it. Promoting it. We probably at that. And you independent? I'm independent. Okay. And we are number six at Rhythmic. We making some noise for that, right?

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? That's just the funniest fucking sound. Number six at Rhythmic. So we had number six at Rhythmic, and we chilling like when your record grows organically instead of, you know, the quick 200 grand and it goes up crazy,

your scene is unpopular. I'm not going to lie. I like the 200 grand one, bro. I get it. I get it. But those are the records that last for two months. You can't name me a record from two months ago. Me and him is against each other on this.

You can't name me a record from two months ago. I can't name you a record from yesterday. I'm fucked up. I'm fucked up. I'm big. When your shit grows organically and it lasts for 10, 15 years, that's when you can brag on shit. I'm still getting checks from fucking...

It's a different kind of fan base. It's a loyal one versus an unloyal one. It's a popularity... Me and him always have this conversation. It's the fan base, the loyal fan base against the people that just want to be seen as knowing what's the new shit.

Right, right. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's the people that want to be cool as kids and the people that want to be cool to their kids. Which is true. It's a super standard. Me and him always have this discussion, independent or major.

I'm always on the major side. Mm-hmm. I practically hate everything about independent. Really? I made a little more, but I've worked a lot harder independent. Yeah. When I would have a hit record on Def Jam, on a Tommy Boy, on a penalty,

it was certain Sean Packers would call me, Mike Kaiser would call me, Sham Kreska would call me and say, fall the fuck back. Once the record start working. Yeah, but you're talking about. Don't call Cosmic Cab. That's a different era. Don't call Funk Flex no more. Like, fall back.

We got it. And I swear to God, they had me. So I want to big them up. But that was the time that we were living in. Yeah, so... But it was still 200 grand, though. That 200 grand was there, too. So it just doesn't take that now.

It doesn't take any of that. It's literally four buttons, and you're going to have a song out tonight. And my argument to him is, I'm not against the majors, but I'm saying be independent. So if you do upstream to a major, you take advantage of that system. I'm not against the majors.

And you can walk away from that system and keep it moving. I'm not against the majors whatsoever. And not because he's here, but, you know, that's what I... You got to stop. But that's what I got to agree with what Rockefeller did. Rockefeller, when they was using the major, but still owning their masters. That's the difference. That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm into. I'm into that independent major. That's what I'm saying. I'm not against the majors. You just got to know the steps. Right. You got to know what's going on. You got to know what's actually happening with your shit.

And I mean, I fell victim to that multiple times. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. I know they pay for everything. I get to pay it back. I'm making millions. I don't give a shit. It's the worst loan ever. The worst loan of all time. When you work in it. When it's happening. When it's on the downside. Oh my god.

It's a problem. When you can't pay it back. And if you recoup, you're good. If you don't recoup, this is the worst loan ever. But the difference between making fast food music and gourmet music is you can pay that back with gourmet music.

Right. I can get $3 million from Universal right now and pay it back in two years. Let's make some noise for that guy. Like, without releasing music,

I'm still getting checks from 15 years ago. Shit. Right. That's catalog. But that's what I'm saying. Catalog money, you said? Catalog.

Oh, catalog. Catalog. But when you make fast food music and your shit goes away in two months, you can't get that advance back. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. They're like, this song is hot as fuck.

Here's $2 million. You made $90,000 off of it. We're going to need the rest of that very soon. And you was on Atlantic, right? I was on, first of all, I was on Jive. Jive. I was on Jive. Barry Weiss?

Barry Weiss. Okay, okay. So I was on Jive, and then Jive caved and turned into RCA, and they didn't tell anybody. Oh, yeah, they did that to me. They didn't say shit. Oh, welcome to the did that to me. They didn't say shit. Oh, welcome to the games. Welcome to the games.

I'm glad I was the only one. So the crazy thing was, the worst thing about that venture and that joint venture was RCA acquired four labels. Which was? All I know is they got Jive. Okay. But I think they got some of Epic. They got some of Def Jam. They got like a lot of shit. So RCA acquired four labels

worth of artists, but they only still had one label worth of employees. Right. Wow. So if you had ten records to take to radio, if you got a Chris Brown joint place You did your job for the day. They didn't give a fuck. What didn't get placed. They go back to Fucking Peter. Okay, and was like I did my job today. I got we got Chris Brown on the radio

I was like what about the other nine? They wasn't fucking with him. Okay, but you got one right cool. There it is RCA really stopped They're like, what about the other nine? They wasn't fucking with him. Okay, but you got one, right? Cool. There it is. So RCA really stopped giving a fuck about their artists that wasn't performing as well as the other artists. And I literally called Peter one day. Peter's the president of RCA. And I was like, hey, I understand what's going on. Please drop me. Let me go. And he, right out of his mouth on the phone,

said, you think I'm gonna let somebody else get T-Pain? We're not even having this conversation. Boom, hung up on me. I would've had that conversation. Yeah! I sound official. I sound official. I sound official.

You can't drop yourself, T-Pain. Yeah, I was like, bro, please! You're not doing anything for me. I'm not bringing you any revenue because out of his mouth, he's like, urban music doesn't make us any money. And I was like, well, I'm doing urban music. I would gladly not be a hindrance anymore. Just let me go.

And he's like, you think I'm going to let somebody else have T-Pain? Did he just say hindrance? Yep. Great word. Great word. Three syllables. Don't know what it means, but I'll look it up later. Did he just say hindrance? Yep. Great word. Great word. Three syllables. Don't know what it means,

but I'll look it up later. Three syllables, you piece of shit. I would have killed that shit in Scrabble. That nigga's ain't fucking with me on Scrabble. Scrabble? Yep. Nah, I ain't... I thought you was... No, no, no, no.

I was ready. What's up? Stinks and Scrabble, what's up? Yeah, I was ready. I can't even speak English, so come on, bro. Boris got you. Boris got you.

Holy. He was never on Atlantic? I never knew that. I thought you was on Atlantic with Mike Kaiser in them. I did a lot of publishing deals with Atlantic. Okay, let's check some

car on your money. So, Mike would bring me over to do different things. He'd just, like, sit me down. You know how they do writing sessions now? Like, you have a bunch of writers in the room? It was just me all the time. He was like, T-Pain, sit in the room.

A session with T-Pain. I got 20 beats. Pick one. Write to the shits. And I would rail through them bitches. I would just like, first thing comes to mind, boom, boom, boom. I did the hook to Low with Flo Rida and the hook to Shawty with Plyce the same night.

Wow. Yeah, I ain't going to forget. That was the same fucking night, and I was just railing off hooks, and I did them two in the same night, and I was like, yeah,ing off hooks and I did them two in the same night and I was like yeah we can probably keep doing this I don't know

if you know but at one point you were the cheat code I was the cheat code until Snoop did Sensible Seduction why because he made it sound good? no because he let everybody know you didn't need T-Pain to use auto tune. I tried it and I needed you, bro.

You had the record. Auto tune ain't working for me, man. No, but they put auto tune on his vocals. When they say auto tune make everybody sound good, that's a lie. That sounds horrible. That sounds horrible. I didn't get it. So it's still a skill to auto tune. I get it, but what I'm saying is to make everybody sound good, that's a lie! That sounded horrible! That sounded horrible! I didn't get it.

So it's still a skill to honor someone. I get it, but when Snoop... He can actually sing, though, that's why. But when Snoop did sensual, what was it, sexual? Sexual seduction. Sexual seduction. So when he did that, he let people know, you don't have to call T-Pain.

And he didn't even write that record, right? You wrote that one? I don't know. I didn't write, I had nothing I didn't write it. I had nothing to do with that record. I had nothing to do with it. Which made it so much crazier. So let's just be clear. You didn't like this record. This is the album.

First of all, I love the record. It was one of the best record snoops I ever done. It was amazing. The fucking beat was crazy. They wrote the shit out of that shit. I fucking love the record, which is why I'mop's ever done. Yeah, yeah, I ain't gonna lie. It was amazing. The fucking beat was crazy. They wrote the shit out of that shit. I fucking love the record, which is why I'm so mad at it.

It's like, this shit is good, I guess. So after that, people stopped calling you? Yeah, and because before that, like Jamie Foxx got me on Blame It because he was using autotune. And he was like, I don't want to be seen as trying to take your shit. So I'm going to do that. Fucking Diddy gave me a point on Last Train to Paris because he was using autotune.

Just because he was using it. Just because he was using it. I wasn't even on there. That's dope. Like he gave me a point on Last Train. Let's pick up a chair, man. Let's pick up a chair. That's some gangster shit right there.

Shout out to Love, shout out to Love, shout out to Black Love. I ain't been to Club Love yet. Come on. Hoping to get there. Like I said, I was the face. I was the face of it, so anytime anybody had anything to do with Auto-Tune, it was me.

I was involved. And Snoop made it clear to people. That you don't need it. No, you can just, you know, this is just available for everybody. You never got any revenue from Auto-Tune or application. Has the Auto-Tune people?

Let's get to it. We got into a spat. Okay, I don't know what spat means for the record. God damn it. A legal disagreement. With Auto-Tune. I need to hear this. Yeah, okay. Well, the homie that's in the documentary's on this.

Yeah, yeah, Dr. Andy. Yeah. So, the guy that invented Auto-Tune. The Netflix documentary? Yeah, the white guy? The guy that invented Auto-Tune. By the way, how did you end up on that fucking, that documentary? It was a pop documentary.

Here's the crazy thing. That was supposed to be- Okay, let's go back to it. Let's go to Auto-Tune. That was supposed to be, that whole documentary was supposed to be like an episode on some obscure ass Canadian TV show. And it ended up

on Netflix. And it ended up on fucking Netflix. Did they get your signature? I mean, obviously, yeah. You signed the death row records. Okay. So, what the fuck were we saying? I don't know. It was great. So, what the fuck were we saying? Oh, no, no, no. It was great. It was great.

Oh, yeah. So, Dr. Andy refused to put my name in accordance with the app itself. The software. With the technology, with the software. Wow. Nothing to do with it. And then I made my own. You had a doll or something like that, right?

No, I had software. Wow. I had software called the T-Pain Effect because I realized every time I would go in a guitar center, anytime somebody was looking for auto-tune, they would say, let me get the T-Pain Effect.

Where's the T-Pain Effect? Do y'all have the T-Pain Effect? I made a product called the T-Pain Effect. To y'all have the T-Pain Effect? I made a product called The T-Pain Effect To make it easy how you were looking for it If you want the T-Pain Effect You're getting the T-Pain Effect And you're not going to get autotune

So they said, you guys took our technology You can't use this, boom, boom, boom And I was like, that's fair I stalled it a little bit That makes sense I probably shouldn't do that That's fair, I stole it a little bit That makes sense I probably shouldn't do that That's for I get it

You were like my fault again I get it But then they released A new version of Auto-Tune And on the back of the box It says You've seen You've heard our shit

On popular artists Like T-Pain And I'm like Oh if I can't do that You can Yeah That was a bugger So

So But they had already put it out Right They had to have Every product white out my name. Wow. Like, in the store, like, the store employees. Y'all couldn't just come to an agreement where you get paid off of it? He wasn't fucking with it.

He was already straight. He already made money. He was like, I don't need you, nigga. Yeah, but he did it just to do right by you. Like, what you did for that. Everybody's not like love, right? Everybody's not like that. Now, if you look on the new

Auto-Tune, it says you've heard our effect on people such as Future and everybody else that have used Auto-Tune. Just not me. So now he's switched it up. But it's on some... I made you, bro. You know what I'm saying?

The only reason people know your shit exists is because of what I did. Goddammit, talk that shit. You know what I'm saying? Talk that shit, TK. Because Auto-Tune was created to be hidden. Right. And I made it very fucking noticeable.

So it's like- You made it mainstream. Right. Would you battle Future N Versus? Yeah. What? Who's winning? How you gonna ask him that?

I want him to talk that talk. To the public, Future will win. Absolutely. Because it's right now. That's not what I wanted to ask you. Because we don't have the same records. Okay. Like, what's the feel-good records that...

Like, what would Future play after Bartender? Molly Perkinset? I don't know. Something with drugs. Something with drugs. What would he play after I'm strong? Because we got to match records. When you play records,

you got to match records. You got to say if I play my if I can change the world with me, Diddy, Mary J. Blige, and Akon, what's Future going to play after that? You got to, we in two different categories. I think it's a good matchup. It's got to be me and Akon on Versus. The fact that me and Lil Jon did a Versus was the most fun Versus of all time.

But if we're- Y'all wasn't in the same room. We wasn't in the same room. We wasn't in the same room. We gotta redo that, by the way. Hey, um, Swiss, Timbo. Yeah, they watching. They're right there. They're right there. I literally did just read the Swiss earlier, though.

Fuck It isn't the same As it was 10 years ago the way you said it right there. I was trying to avoid this question. Fuck. It isn't the same as it was 10 years ago. You know that R. Kelly thing. You notice how like 10 years ago you would say I got R. Kelly records and you'd be like, yo, that's good. That's it held merit a little while ago. Because I was like, yeah, a couple of remixes, R. Kelly kept popping up on your shit. I was like, holy shit. R. Kelly frequents your playlist. He does, though on your shit. I was like, holy shit. Damn it.

R. Kelly frequents your playlist. He does, though, he does. Shake his hand and shit. I ain't never seen a nigga wash his hands before. Oh my god. Oh my god. God damn it. Son of a bitch.

People will come here and be like, Marshall. I'm like, who the fuck is Marshall? You can't. We can't. Or LL Todd. We're gonna call LL Todd. We're gonna call LL Todd. We're gonna call Todd. Bro, niggas do that shit to me in the mall. Like, bro, we walking past, first of all, my name's T-Pain, my nigga.

We all know that. Nigga walk past me, Teddy. Looking at my wife like, baby, do we know this? He don't know me, Teddy. First name basis. You will address me as my motherfucking stage name, nigga. Mr. Payne. I don't know what I want niggas to call me, but it's definitely not Teddy.

My neighbor addressed me the other day. He was like, what's up, Victor? I was like, I'm Mr. Payne. I don't know what I want niggas to call me, but it's definitely not Danny. Yeah. Listen, my neighbor did that to me the other day. He was like, what's up, Victor? I was like, I'm Mr. Santiago. Yo, I was with Busta last night. I called that nigga Trevor, and I just saw his face change. That nigga was like. Nah, I never called him Trevor. I never.

Yeah, that nigga was like. What made you want to call him Trevor? I was drunk. What the fuck? You had two of them? Yeah, I had two... What made you want to call him Trevor? I was drunk. What the fuck you mean? You had two of them? Yeah, I had two of them. You were like, Trevor, get the cat. I'm gonna bump me. Oh, shit.

I wasn't ready. Yo, let me tell you something, little nigga. I don't know. I don't have a good buster. You don't know. So not only R. Kelly, but you got a lot of records with Chris Brown, too. You got a... Why?

Like, I mean... I want this to make Instagram. But how is that? Because, like, I imagine you develop a relationship with... I'm just going. Is that real quick?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wash your hands, but it's okay. All right, we got it. So how is that? Because you got a lot of records with Chris Brown, right? And he going through this controversy.

I don't know why niggas like fucking up when I want to put a record out. Really? Really. As soon as I put a record out for Chris, he fucked up. I just recorded a fucking record for Tory Lanez. He fucked up. I don't know.

I'm just not good at it. I mean, I'm the hood bitch, the bitch in the hood that just picked the wrong niggas. I'm the bitch in the hood that keep wondering why she getting beat up all day. Like what the fuck is going on? What are you niggas doing in your private lives that keeps affecting my career?

What is going on? I just put out a record request, and they're like, we're not playing no more records. Shit! And I'm like, oh, my God, bro. I got a fire fucking record with Tory. And now everybody's like, we're not playing no more Tory records. Jesus.

Why do y'all niggas personalize keep affecting my professional one? I don't know, man. You ever been canceled? Yeah, I got canceled like eight times. Eight times. I keep telling everybody, three days. You're canceled for exactly

three fucking days. Well, not three. You're canceled for exactly three days. If it's a minor offense, if he's just saying some shit on Twitter, or something like that, three days. Well, not three. You're in prison for exactly three days. If it's a minor offense, if you just say some shit on Twitter or something like that, three days. Just stay on Twitter

for three days. Come back on the fourth day, nothing ever happens. Nothing ever happens. So what I... What'd you get canceled for? The last thing I got canceled for was, I guess,

the Tori thing. Shit, goddammit. The thing I got canceled for before, I guess the Tori thing. Shit, god damn it. The thing I got canceled for before that was, I think it was X. Not DMX. Ecstasy?

X. X, X, X. That's your own. That's your own. Because everybody had found out he had beat up a chick. And I was just like, guys,

I want you to... My message was keep the same energy for everybody. Y'all canceling famous people when they do shit like that, but I want you to also make sure your dad hasn't beat up your mom. Make sure your fucking person down the road hasn't beat up them chicks. But you so

crazy about when a celebrity does it, there's people in your neighborhood that are doing that and you don't give a shit. And you go outside when you hear people arguing and shit with binoculars and shit and you just want to watch it but you don't fucking go on Twitter about it and say this person needs to fucking die.

You need to keep that same energy with everybody. Your pastor done beat up a bitch, bro. You know what I'm saying? Your pastor, ask your pastor what he was doing when he was 20 years old with a bunch of money. Go figure out what was going on. I just want you to,

I wasn't enabling and I wasn't like getting behind beating up fucking chicks. But I was saying, if you know, keep the same energy with everybody,

not just celebrities. If you know R. Kelly is fucking little girls. And then you know the guy down the road, not just celebrities. If you know R. Kelly is fucking little girls, and then you know the little creepy guy down the road is also fucking little girls, get on Twitter about that, too. I need you to do it all. Get everybody involved. Fucking call them all out.

Don't just call out R. Kelly because he's making money off of it. I just don't want this nigga to make money no more. I'm okay with niggas fucking little girls and being broke. I'm okay with that. But if a nigga's getting rich and fucking little girls, we can't have that. I want you to keep the same energy for broke niggas too.

I want you to keep the same. And people thought I was saying that, you know, if your people did it, then it should be okay. Like, no. I'm saying, if you are mad about this, be mad about all of it. I respect that. You feel what I'm saying? Like, that's all I want. Like, celebrities

shouldn't be held at a higher accountability than the creepy guy down the road. Everybody should be held. If you're doing creepy shit, you're a creep, bro. Just go address that shit. Call the cops on the guy down the fucking road don't go to twitter and really not really affect anything right cancel this person cancel this

person you're not doing anything with a hashtag bro call the cops on this fucking guy down the road like really do something for real like that's all i and i got canceled for that and i don't i don't it's not enough characters to explain all that. Because that, what I just said would have been the longest tweet of all time. So,

I didn't have enough, I didn't have enough characters to explain that. So what was the canceling though? What did they do? Oh, they just said T-Pain's canceled.

They literally said it. Yeah. Hashtag T-Pain's canceled. Which, which again, doesn't do a fucking thing. That's terrible. Yo, that's terrible.

People think people put so much power on the internet that they think that if they hashtag something, that's the end all be all. And it does absolutely fucking nothing. Three fucking days. I would have 900 mentions every minute when people cancel me. And when I do something good, 90. Like, you know, so it's like I understand how the Internet works.

And like I said, having the mindset today of I don't really give a fuck about strangers like that. You know, it's not my responsibility to make you think I'm a good person. You gotta fucking look for it. You gotta search. You gotta do some research, bro, on anything. Like, just as much as fucking anti-vaxxers do research on

vaccinations, fucking do research on me, bro. You know I ain't no fuck nigga. You know I don't do no fuck shit. Like, come on, come in. Come into my world and you'll see what the fuck I do. You know I ain't no fuck nigga. You know I don't do no fuck shit. Like, come on, come in. Come into my world and you'll see what the fuck I do. You know what I'm saying? Somebody tried to make me seem like a bad person a couple days ago. They asked me

on my Twitch stream, what's your favorite late night drink? You ever heard of late night drink? I thought all drinks are late night. And I said, what the fuck is a late night drink? And this person went to Reddit, and it was like, I got insulted by T-Pain, and I don't know if I can listen to his music anymore. And I'm like, what the fuck?

Bro! What the fuck is a late night? And this dude is 30 years old. I thought it was going to be a teenager that just hadn't heard or just don't know about alcoholism, shit like that. If you would have said, what's your favorite alcoholic drink? I'd get that. This motherfucker said, what's your favorite late night drink? And he said,

I'm 30 years old and I've never been insulted like this in my life. And I'm like, you need to go outside. Or not. Or don't go outside. You need to go touch grass, nigga, because this shit...

Bro, have you not been around people? Nigga, welcome to people. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? So what the fuck is a late night drink? It was asking me

about alcohol, I guess. Oh, that's what he was asking? Yeah, he was like, what's your favorite alcohol to drink? But I have literally a command on my Twitch that if you put exclamation mark drink, it tells you all the drinks I drink on my stream. Why? But he asked me, what's your favorite late night drink?

And then I laughed like, what the fuck is a late night drink? And I moved on. And he's like, I got insulted by T-Pain. This guy sucks. Fuck this guy. What are you talking about? You're 30!

No problem. You got it. No problem. Major or independent? That's subjective. That depends on how much money you have as a person. I love how you answered

this with bad intelligence. Yeah, no, because it's like, if you got 200 grand to spend on a record, absolutely. Right. You got to have more than that one 200 grand, though. Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no. You got to follow it up. Independently, you got to be right once. Right. And you're going to be the most famous nigga for at least three months. Right. And that's enough to fund the next record.

You only got to be right once yourself. If you write that once, everything else is going to... But most likely you're not going to be right once, like that first time is what I'm saying. Yeah, most likely. That was a great throw. That was the worst throw. The illest catch.

Did you see the catch? That was on my left hand, too, by the way. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I didn't see it come from you, but the arch... The arch was of McDowell's Institute. That was nice. I saw the arch. You know what's funny?

They wouldn't let me meet Eddie Murphy. You tried? Yeah, I tried to meet Eddie. You know how big Eddie Murphy was back then? Did you? Okay, that was bad. He shut me down. Who did that? Who did that?

Where did that come from? That was him. What's going on, bro? Stop throwing shit, man. Okay. All right. I know where you're going to go with this one. College or DJ Drama?

Nobody. So what we doing right now, TK? Philly is really close. Philly is really close to doing what Cali's doing. So are we taking a half a shot? I don't know. I'm just saying, when you say nobody's doing what Cali's doing, Philly is really close. Philly Phel, out on the West Coast, my man.

Philly Phel is doing really close to what Cali is doing. I don't feel like that's fair. You get to be inebriated while we're... You can smoke, you wanna smoke. Yeah, you gotta... No, I'm just saying. Oh. You're getting like a different,

Calid or drama? Yeah. Drama. Drama? Okay. Drama, you know why? Wow, drama. Drama, and it's going to sound like a shot at Callit, but it's really not.

What's happening? It's Florida. It's Florida. Come on, we know this already. I'm from New York City, born and raised. Born and raised in New York City. love New York City my whole life. You live in Broward now. No, I live in Broward now.

But I'm going to tell you something. Florida is the most gangster place. Yo, I'm kidding you not. You can literally buy anything out here. I keep telling you. Literally. I've seen today. We keep telling you, niggas, the reason why we think New York and New Jersey

is the same place is because we don't leave this motherfucker. Like this shit is just a place to us. When you say Florida, you're talking about every single city. You're not saying Tampa is different from Orlando because they got more

roller coasters. It's different, nigga, it's not hard. It's different, nigga. This shit is real. Bro, we will shoot you. Yes. It's true. Over very little shit.

It's true. Different languages, too. We'll shoot you in different languages. There's two different languages. This is when I first really understood Florida. We were filming a video. Daddy Yankee is walking across the street, and a guy literally just comes out and just shoots in the air.

Celebration. Because Daddy Yankee was crossing the street too slow. He was like, what do you think, there's a game out here? He came, and I literally... Did he cross faster? I literally didn't even jump, because I felt normal. This is normal. This is normal out here.

It's like a fucking Dubai wedding over here. People over there from New York was like, what the fuck did we just witness? And you didn't even jump. You just witnessed. I don't know. It's just kind of like. That's just normal. And that was Oyeme Contra, right?

Oyeme Contra. And there was a hurricane coming. And a hurricane. And these motherfuckers are like, yeah, we don't feel like. I got to go board up now. First of all, niggas is not walking while a hurricane is coming. And then you're in your car driving while a hurricane is coming. It's different things, man.

You know what's even wilder out here? I'm sorry, we got to finish quick. I'm slapping. No, you're good. What's even wilder is when the hurricanes happen, my white neighbors go surfing, man. It's a party. That's the only time that's up. It's a party.

I be looking at them like, what the fuck is going on? It's a party. It's the only time there's weddings. It's the same cable I got. It's a party. That's the only time that's up. It's a party. I be looking at them like, what the fuck is going on? It's a party. It's the only time that's up. It's the only time the same cable I got. It's a party, bro. When dealing with y'all, bro,

there's literally a thing out here called hurricane parties. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Like, it's not a joke. We all get in the same place. I love you. And we gonna die.

We all. We gonna die. We die together. We gonna die. We're going to die. We're going to die together. We're going to die. We're going to die together. I'm telling you. Out here, it's hurricane parties.

It's mostly white people. It's all white people. But there ain't no party when your AC goes out and it's out for a day or two. There's no more party. I mean, that's just... No more party after that.

That's why I'm a condo guy. This is animal cruelty. Okay. All right. All right. Trina or Lil' Kim? Oh. It's not the Haitian right there.

Oh. That was Creole. It's definitely Creole. Kim. Okay. I didn't expect that. Okay. Analog or digital?

Of what? Anything. It's quick time or slime. Okay, do you know the definition of vague? What do you prefer? In the studio. Digital. Digital?

Have you ever worked analog? So, you know who doesn't prefer digital? Timberland. Did you say Timberland or Zimmerman? Timberland. No, Timberland. I thought you said Zimmerman for a second. I was going to say, what are we going?

Timberland, this nigga has a studio full of keyboards every time I walk in there. And I have all those keyboards in my computer just chilling. Saving space. Right. all those keyboards in my computer, just chillin'. It's like, you know what? Saving space. Right, you don't have to have all these fuckin' heat generators just sittin' in the fuckin' studio. And I'm like, bro, just chill, my nigga. You can have all this stuff in one.

And he's like, yeah, but it's not the real sound. You know what I thought about the other day, TK? Huh? You know what I thought about the other day? What'd you think? Why we've never seen Timberland in a pair of Timberlands? I'm going to tell you right now. I'm high.

I'm going to tell you right now, as a Florida boy, them chicks is uncomfortable, bro. Yeah, I'm just saying right now. I don't fuck with boots. I exclusively don't fuck with boots because of Timberland. Like, I don't want Timberlands, Buffalinos. I don't motherfucking. I don't even know what Buffalinos is. What's the shit Wu-Tang used to wear?

Wallabies. No, none of that. Them shits is uncomfortable. It's over. Stop telling me that I need to wear this boot untied. You want some Skechers? Untied because it looks cool to New Yorkers. That shit is uncomfortable.

They're called constructions because niggas only wear them shits doing construction. Can you imagine living a day as a construction worker if you're not a construction worker? What the fuck are you talking about? Them shits is uncomfortable. And the tan ain't even really tan. Bro, I would straight up wear army boots over motherfucking Timberlake. I swear to God, if I had more options of where to tie my shoes at. Bro, there's no other definition. Bro, so, and we're filming this in Florida.

There's no other definition of, that's a New York nigga. Then to see a nigga walking down the street with a short-sleeved shirt and shorts and a fucking pair of Timberlands. Bro, what of your ankles, my nigga? What of your ankles, bro? Your ankles are suffering right now. Bro, I can tell by how you're walking you're not having a good time, my nigga. And you're trying to go to South Beach?

You got 70 minutes. It's 70 minutes this way. You can't even, you're not going to, bro, you're going to have to peel the skin off your fucking ankles by the time you get the fucking, you're the fucking, I can't even, I don't even know how that went into,

I get like blue Yankee, boom, absolutely. Wear the hat, my nigga. But something that tears the skin off of your goddamn ankles in four minutes. I just don't know how that became a cultural thing. Black people, stop

doing that. You know why? Because you got to walk everywhere in fucking New York. Can you catch a goddamn Uber XL to a goddamn five-minute spot down the road without having to pay $123,000? And then you just stop and just walk. You know what's fucked up?

My first week where I officially lived out here, I didn't feel complete unless I had a spare Timberlands. I swear to God. I swear to God. I had to call home. It was like, yo, send me a pair of Timbs. Send me a pair. It's like 90 degrees. Send me a pair of Timbs. Send me a pair. It's like 90 degrees.

Send me a pair of foot destroyers. Please. Foot destroyers. I don't feel right unless my feet are being absolutely destroyed. You what the fuck? Oh, shit. Get out of there. Oh, shit.

Jesus Christ. Why is that a cult following? Are you from New York? You got to feel like you're working all the time. You know what's crazy about constructs, real constructs? They actually are comfortable. They're nice! I'm just being honest.

If you're a kid, a construct, they actually are comfortable. That's why we wear them untied. You said it. That's why we wear them untied. They're very comfortable if you wear them right. They're very comfortable if you wear them right. Right, right. That's why you said untied.

But the trend, and you niggas do not wear them right. If an actual construction worker saw you wearing the constructs the way you wear them, they'd be like, bro, why are you even wearing them? The un-laced, and the tie and the knot in the lace so it doesn't un-fucking-un-tie. I got seven pairs of 10s right now in Florida. With the tongue out? Seven pairs, right there.

With the tongue out? It's niggas that's actually doing construction work that's wearing them shits, and they're like, bro, y'all niggas is doing this for fashion? Is that right? Nah, you gotta keep it clean. My shit's on roofs right now in Miami. That's like, y'all niggas use this shit for fashion?

What? This is a trend to y'all niggas? I'm wearing this shit because it's useful. It's actually helping me fix this roof. And y'all niggas is just saying... No, actually, they're not wearing Timberlands, the guys that's doing constructs.

They're wearing sketches, yeah. You know why? You know why? Because y'all niggas drove the fucking price up. $129 to for nothing. Yes. It's true. Just to use them incorrectly. It's true. Fingers was actually... Let's get out of QuickTime with Slime. Oh, God.

That's the longest QuickTime with Slime we ever done. All right. Right. Scarface or Ice Cube? The rappers. Yes. Not the movies. Okay.

This is an Ice Cube movie? Mm-hmm. It is? What? Everything. Oh, everything. Have. This an Ice Cube movie? Mm-hmm. It is? Everything. Oh, everything. Have you ever seen a black movie? Yeah, it's Ice Cube.

It's Ice Cube. Ice Cube vision? Ice Cube, he did more, he came more out of the gangster realm and fucking made family movies. Acceptable. It's like Snoop and Martha Stewart. You came out of the gangster realm and still was able to make that shit.

Ice Cube, no question. Scarface, I love Scarface. He did not project off the momentum. Ice Cube came out the momentum on some gangster shit and was... Nigga went from no Vaseline to are we there yet. What?

What? What? What a fucking transition, nigga. Like, did you plan this? Yeah, Ice Cube, no question. Business sense is through the fucking roof. Okay. Biggie or Big Pun?

I'm going to take a shot for that. Not for becoming fat, though. I guess that's okay. No. All right. I'm going to get smashed. Mumble rap? Am I going to get canceled again? I got to wait three days?

I mean, it's three days. When is this coming out? Mumble rap? I'm going to get canceled again? I got to wait three days? I mean, it's three days. When is this coming out? Mumble rap or lyrical rap? Or mumbly lyrical rap? That exists? The fuck? Does that exist? No.

Um. In what setting? In your setting in your car. In my car? Yeah, what do you prefer to do? Mumble rap or you want to hear some lyrical, lyrical, lyrical, lyrical? I mean, when you say it like that, bro,

who the fuck wants to listen to that? My bad. You set that up for failure. I mean, the shot is starting to affect me. There is lyrical mumble rap. There is lyrical mumble rap. There is lyrical mumble rap. He just did it. I bet you. In the car. So in the studio,

Migos because... I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. The Migos or the Lox? Migos. Migos because... No. Migos because them niggas can rap and they choose to not. They choose not to? I ain't gonna lie. Them niggas can't...

Bro, have you heard like a real... That album that they just dropped? What's the name of that album? Closer 3? Yo, that shit is hard. Have you heard like a real... That album that they just dropped? Bro. What's the name of that album? Closer 3? Yo, that shit is hard. Can you... Bro, if you hear... Bro, if you listen to Offset Versus,

he... That nigga can't... All three of them. First of all, have you ever seen Offset Dance? No, I've never seen that. Sorry. That nigga's the best.

Okay. Wait, it correlates with the... Offset, that's Cardi B's husband, right? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are the worst. Why are you the worst? Because I got a... That's how wrong? I said that's Cardi B's husband, right? Yes. You are the worst. That's how I identify her. That's not the correlation. Okay, so, bro.

My bad. Like, we was listening to Busta was showing us his new album last night. We were listening to the shit. Busta has 25,000 albums. He's got one that's coming. He's got one that's coming on the 30th,

and it's the 30th anniversary of his first album. Breaking news right here on Dream Channel. Cut it out. I'm sure he wanted to do that. Breaking news for Busta Rhymes. God damn it. I'm so mad at that shit. I didn't announce it.

Man, you fucked up again, T-Pain. I fucked up again. God damn it. I keep doing that. I didn't announce pregnancies, fucking marriages. I didn't do all this kind of shit. Y'all niggas. Pregnancies?

I don't even know how we got this. Amigos in the locks. You explain it. Why? But the way I know a nigga can rap for real and does acrobatics with melodies and harmonies and rhythms is if they can dance. We listened to Busta's album last night, and I was like, bro, the most disturbing thing that I got from this album is knowing that Busta Rhymes can dance and it's fucking weird.

To say that. What kind of dance moves? He wasn't dancing, but just knowing that he knows the melodies and rhythms that he was using on the album, we know he can dance now. And it's weird to even think about Busta Rhymes dancing for real. So you automatically started thinking about him

dancing in your mind. Yeah, I was not... I was not, like, a full-on fan of knowing Busta Rhymes can dance. And did you call him by his government name? What? Can you imagine Busta Rhymes him by his government name? What? Can you imagine Buzzer Rhymes

just buzzing that out real quick? What the fuck? No. I don't want to see that, but I know he can do it because he showed us the music last night

and I was like, bro, you know how to dance, don't you? And he was like, yo, let me tell you something. You told him that for real? Yo, you sounded just like him. Okay, Flo Rida or Pitbull? Pitbull.

I was about to say, you around a lot of Latinos. Pitbull, no, no, no, it's not even that. I feel like I feel like Pitbull Is a more likable He's a more Out there person You're saying Flo Rida

They're both great guys, but if I had a big one, I would think of the motherfucker that actually want that shit to be seen. All right, 90s or 2000s hip hop? 90s. No question. 90s. Everything was different-hop? 90s. No question. 90s. Everything was different. Oh my god, it was great. Wayne or Drake?

I woke up in a new Bugatti I woke up in a new Bugatti Yeah They had posted My Bugatti In their shit Like I got a new Bugatti And Yeah. They had posted my Bugatti in their shit like, I got a new Bugatti. And I was just like. That's yours? You know what it was like?

You know what it was like when your homeboy got a Tinder date in the apartment? I'm too old to know what Tinder is. A Tinder date? A Tinder one? I know there's a date in that. I know there's a date in that. A Tinder or Tinder? Tinder is a date in that. Those two different. Those. a dating app Tinder or Tinder? Tinder is a dating app

He could also be talking about Tinderoni No, I could not be talking about that Okay, I was trying You don't Good A Tinder date If somebody got a Tinder date And your homeboy got on your shirt that you use for Tinder dates.

I don't know where this is going. What the fuck? If you're going on a date and you ask your homeboy, can I borrow your shirt to go on a date, right? And then your homeboy shows up at the date and says, hey, nice shirt. Looks real fucking familiar. And boom. That's how the whole future be... Wait, do that again? Boom.

That's how the whole future be started. That's how the whole thing started. With Callan? That's how the whole thing started with me and Future. Everybody think me and Future... Future wore your shirt? No, he was sitting there, he was... At a Tinder date?

On a Tinder date, he wore your shirt? I'm fucking with you, I'm fucking with you. I'm fucking with you. I'm totally fucking with you. Everybody thinks it was like a big thing. Everybody thinks it was like a Me and Future like, fuck or something. No, but it was literally like like you sat in my Bugatti.

In my Bugatti. And then you said it was yours. And then I told people that it wasn't yours. And that was the end of it. He got mad. I mean, he didn't get mad. First of all, Fuchsia don't get mad. He don't get mad. Fuchsia never gets mad. I mean, he didn't get mad. Future don't, first of all, Future don't get mad.

He don't get mad. Future never gets mad. He says, good day, lovely. What he say? Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Yeah, that's all.

All right. So, Future never gets mad. But the thing that kicked off the whole T-Pain don't like Future, it was like, oh, that's a oh, that's a cool fucking car. Cool fucking car you're in right there. Looks real familiar. From my post.

And then he was like... What was he like? What was he like, Payne? What did he do? That was it. I did it. What did he do? He ignored the. I did it. What did he do? He ignored the whole thing.

He ignored the whole shit. He was just like, Yep. Cool car. And so it was like, Oh, you're not going to acknowledge my shit? All right, everybody shut it down. Everybody, that's my fucking car.

DJ Khaled paid me three grand to use my car. Everybody, everybody shut it down. And then Khaled hit me like, that's what you're doing? That's what you're doing? And I was like, yeah, bro, you said that that car was his. And I didn't have anything to do with it. He was like, look back at the video. And I look back at it and I was like.

OK, you didn't say it, but OK, so when when when you. OK, I don't have a rebuttal for this, but still, you, when you said... And I was a bad friend, bro. I was just like the worst fucking friend. Like of all time, I was the worst fucking friend ever. And Kata was like,

take it back. Take it back. Take the pose down. Take the pose down. And I was like... Take it back. Take it back. Take the pose down. Take the pose down. And I was like. Take it back. I kind of still stand by what I said. No. I didn't take it down.

But the crazy thing was I had the fuzziest picture of all time. And I was like, it's crazy how the new T-Pain, because people was calling Future the new T-Pain. That's what I thought it was about. Okay. People was calling Future the new T-Pain. I was like, it's crazy how the new T-Pain got to use the old T-Pain Bugatti in a picture that he's talking about. So the picture I used was not Future. It was fucking Ace Hood.

It was Callis, Callis artist. And I was like, I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. And he's like, just use my artist in a fucking smear campaign. And I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. It's fake. I picture you with two cups of Hennessy. I just don't know what you're talking about. And I can't give you power right now.

You can't do nothing with it? You can't do nothing? So the whole thing was miscommunication, and this is why me and Khaled, to this day don't fuck with each other. Oh damn. Breaking news, drink chance. We didn't know that.

We didn't know that. So, cause that, all right, the rumor was. I don't know why we clap for that. Yeah, don't clap for that. We clap for anything out here. Oh, oh yeah, niggas do not like each other. Clap for that. Clap for that. Clap for that.

Because the rumor was, you know, you and Kyle made all this great music together, then Future became the hot artist, or was coming. And then so people painted that narrative as if it was a beef between y'all because, and so that's the reason I'm glad. There was a beef between us, but it was on some. He had on your shirt.

I didn't fuck with what he was doing. It was like when we met up at the BET Awards. You and Future. Me, Future, Khaled, everybody. Khaled was like, we're going to do this shit for the internet. And I'm like, I don't do anything for the internet. Do what for the internet? Squash? Just anything.

Just anything. Just anything we do, we're going to do it for the internet. And I'm like, I don't... I don't fuck with the internet like that. And he was like, but you got to. And I'm like, I don't think I... I don't think I have to.

And he was like, but... But you got to. And he was like, but that's what makes us money. And I'm like, I think I have enough money. I think I do. You're like, I'm comfortable. And he was like, cool. I'm going to do this shit for my money. I mean, honestly, the nigga has a $65 million fucking mansion. And I'm sitting in a fucking $6 million mansion.

So it's like. Better than most. I get it. But I'm not about to do the antics. Right. And he shunned me for that. He was like. Call it.

You don't want to make more money? And I'm like, I don't think so. And then I stopped. And he was like, got you. I'm going to make everybody else more money. And then we did the... He didn't literally tell you that. You felt that vibe. Wow.

That's a little cold. Don't stop it. Don't stop it. Don't stop it. Don't stop it. Oh. Yeah, it wasn't... It wasn't said directly.

But it was... You know. Wow. We know the... You fucking know. No, I don't know. I swear to God. Yeah, you do.

You've had this shit happen to you a million times. No, I've had the situation happen. I didn't have this... What you're talking about. I didn't know... Because I'm just a Twitter follower, too. Like, you know what I mean? So when they saying that shit, yeah, I swear to God.

When they saying that, yeah, I swear to God. I really are. I really don't know. Everyone thinks I'm the FBI. Like, I know everything. I really don't. This nigga the police. I really don't know everything, but I tried to.

And so, y'all good? This nigga is making the best sounds. Go ahead, Greg. All right, cool, cool. So y'all haven't spoke since, you and Khaled. We spoke a lot. I've talked to Khaled a lot. I've cried in front of Khaled.

Really? I cried because I was like, um, these niggas, because remember, 99 Jams. Yes, 99 Jams. You would do a record with Khaled to get more plays on 99 Jams. When he left 99 Jams, I was talking to him

like, bro, these niggas ain't your friends. These niggas do not like you. These niggas is literally trying to get spins on 99 Jamz, and I was like, bro, I'm the only nigga that really fuck with you. And he was like, cool, I like that.

I took it to somebody in Tadassi that played it. Fucking Melina Fox. She fucking killed it. She played it at fucking three in the morning.

But Akon is this big star. Why do you even listen to him? Why the fuck would I listen to him? Sorry, my bad. I mean, you would think that, but he wanted me because I had something different.

He wanted me because I did something different. Oh, you believed in what you was writing. I knew what the fuck I did. I knew what the fuck I did. I had a group. I was in a group of 11 motherfuckers, and I'm the one that got noticed out of that group.

So I know your podcast, what's the name of your podcast?

Just big it up. The Nappy Boy Radio Podcast. Nappy Boy Radio Podcast. This is Nappy Boy Radio live with your boy, T-Pain. Which is, which is an oxymoron

because it's not on radio. It's really fucking stupid. It is. Oh, no. All right. That is true. I make sure, I make sure it's not on radio. It's really fucking stupid. It is. I don't know about you. Oh, no. I don't know about you. I don't know about you. That is stupid. I make sure it's really stupid

so people don't actually check it, but... So is your podcast and Twitch, is that the same thing or no? It kind of, a little bit. I really don't... I sincerely don't draw people to it. Like, I straight up... It's my goal to not draw people to it. Like, I straight up... It's my goal to not draw people to it.

It's because... That makes no sense. I know, I know. And it makes all the sense in the world. I know. Not even that. I know, but on some sense, people see it, and they're like,

I didn't even know I wanted to see this, but I do. It's a drug. Yeah, I didn't even know I wanted to see this, but I do. It's a drug. Yeah, I didn't even know I wanted to fucking be a part of this, but this is dope. I like it.

It's weird. And I don't, I don't want to be a part of the, you know, the schedule. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to be

a part of the, the, the, the, the thing, the whole schedule. Like the media rollout? The media rollout.

I'm just like, if you see it, if you find it, thank you. That's what you want to be, special. Something special. If you see it and you find it, thank you. If not, you'll see it on somebody else's shit. That's what I love about podcasts. You can mistakenly listen to radio. You can mistakenly listen to a mixed-age. You can mistakenly find some shit.

You can't mistakenly listen to a podcast. You have to want to find it. You have to, like, when a person say, yo, I was watching your show, I'm like, alright, cool. You're a little so-ish.
