you feel like you fucking OBGYN out this bitch. When you come with all he's over here? Yo, chill.

Yo. But words, shit bad out there. These niggas is getting crazy with it right now. But yeah, locking the nigger

for gambling in his house seemed like that's wrong. Yeah, that seemed like it's wrong. But you're saying and someone definitely snitched.

Somebody have a body cam and everything, right? Somebody probably lost money and snitched. Yeah, because you're going to the man crib to get him and he's a public figure. Someone, they have to have inside. Yeah, right? But it must have been a lot of money flowing through there. Okay.

I've been to some lot of money gambling games. They ain't got nobody ain't snitch on us, man. Shout out to the guts games we used to have. You hear it, Hove. I'm calling guts every time. That shit, that nigger was a bully in the guts. He was arrested with five others and suspected of high-level. Yeah, they had an Israeli gang member with them, too.

I even know Israel had gangs. Probably the Israeli mob, yeah. Niggas is gang gang, gang in everywhere. Everybody got a mob. No, they ain't say mob. They say gang. So that means they listen to hip-hop. They tie rags around their head.

They're different. The mob wear suits. No, they eat elegant shit. Gang? They're outside. They ghosts riding the whip. Right, right, right. Israel, I might got to go out there

to see what gag life hitting for Israel. He'd be surprised. They call it an Israel crime figure. Yeah. See, that's organized crime. That's what they remember that. He ain't organized. He wasn't.

He ain't organized. That's why his ass is in the bid. He was unorganized crime figure. So, let me ask you, are you liking this podcast space? Who, me? Yeah, hell yeah, I'm loving it, man. You know what I mean?

You get the-in-a-love out there. You know what I'm saying? Definitely getting a lot of love out there. Definitely. But I feel like it's a new space of unlocking information. Right. With some of these guys I wanted to know, like, you know what I mean? Interviewing young Chris and freeway.

You're sitting there in the studio with niggas or in the club with niggas. You can't be like, yo, so fam. How you get that Moriah? Like, how was it working with Mariah? You're like, yo, dog, we're in the club. Shut up. You know what I'm saying? So it's a little different now being able to, you know, pick a nigger brain and see what was really behind the madness, you know?

No, I was in, uh, we was in Rock Nation the other day. I seen Yon Nakers, man. Joe and Jada was filming and I realized to the left of them is the actual rock solid logo. You lie. Yeah, the speaker, they have the Boombok. Oh, yeah, they know. They know. Stop playing with me.

The makers took my headquarters, too, pause. They're going to shoe in the big room. They asked me the other day, Bleak, why don't you do an episode here? Because then they're going to say I'm copying. How can you copy at your own crib? Ain't that crazy? Now I'm a copycat in my own crib. You ain't played the foul game.

Word up. Are you drinking? You drinking? Yeah, how are you drinking, baby? I'm ready for that. I haven't said. We're drinking at. We're drinking, baby.

We're drinking. We're drinking. We celebrate. We hear. We celebrate. We celebrate. Drink champs. Rock silent.

So, yo. So, I had a question. Go ahead. So, EFN, you know, I know you've been running an underground scene in Miami forever. Right. Who you think held the mixtape scene down after your mom? Because you, from what I know and what I heard, the streets say you was the clue of Miami. During the cassette era, for sure.

And in the beginning of the CD era. Hey, you ain't getting no CD live? No, no, I did, I did. I just started falling out of love with it when it went into, like, the Napster Digital era. Why? I just wasn't the same. I'm an analog, dude.

Yo, chill, man. He needed to walk me. After the Walt, they said, fuck it, it's over, y'all. I quit. I quit. Yo, but Callie held it down. Who else? Well, some other mixtape DJs out here.

But Callet wasn't a mixtape DJ. He put out some mixtape. See, I wasn't outside of mine. I was the uniquely mixed music music music. That was my lane. There's a DJ cover that they got. They got him, Collett, DJ Epps, and DJ Irie. Yeah.

And like, that's pretty much. It was mixtape magazine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty much like... The DJs down here? Down here. Like, you're like, sorry to all change the subject. There's a lot of the DJs just...

I mean, you know, I recognize. The mixtape DJs. But sorry to change the subject. You put me on to my man from the Bay. Oh, Fran DeLay Bay. Yeah, yeah. So, like, what was his affiliation with Rock? Back then

His affiliation was That's what I mean Like why I love this space Because I never knew how Frannie met Jay Biggs and Dang Wow Like so when I When I went on the

Back then it was called The Chittling Circuit So you know you was doing College Radio KMEL was one of the first radio stations That let me up there Without a name Without a voice

Without being heard Or pirate radio station You know what I'm saying So And that was the guy And they was like yo, when you get to San Francisco, you tap in there with DJ Franz in. And I'm like, high niggas know a DJ in the Bay already.

But I never asked how they link to nothing. So when I met Frannie the first time, like I said, the nigga like, you bleak rolled up. And we at KMEA. And it's like. People that don't know that's a radio station. Yeah, that's like you being in the Hot 97 and Flex telling you, yo, roll up. That's not happening.

It's never happening. So that was like, yo, why I can smoke right here? And ever since then it just been locked in it. every single show. I don't care whether he's in San Diego, Seattle, L.A., San Francisco, Vegas. He was there. And everybody knew him. And then

seeing the love that he used to get from Snoop, you know what I mean, the exhibits, Dr. Dre. Because he brought that whole Bay Area, San Francisco area, right? And I always wonder, yo, bro, why you never did the mixtape game or, you know, tried to make an album? Right. He just... He would have been the West Coast Collier or the first collard. Yes, for sure.

He was out before Cali, for sure. Like, a lot of DJs respect, Frandy, because he paved the way, especially bridging the gap between the East and the West. Because he was the first West Coast DJ, I believe, playing a lot of East Coast music. He's in the Bay, right? He was. Now he in Vegas. Okay. He was the first person who played Juicy.

Yeah. That's a fact. So you said that how they met each other, how Dame and that. And they met at a, I think, at an event with Biggie. Wow. Yeah. Was it a conference or what? Like a conference out there in the Bay.

Remember, I used to do the music. conferences. Like impact. I remember going to the rapper. Yo, bro, I remember going to the record pools

where you'll be in the hood store in Oakland somewhere. Wurder and Richie Rich took me to my first DJ pool in

Oakland. The rapper Rich. Yeah, we were supposed to have one drink champ. Yeah, I used to move around the bay.

Yeah, I used to move around the bay with Richie. That's my guy, man, for sure. Like, shout out to 842. Yeah, yeah.

That's what I feel like rock solid going to be able to expose. A lot of relationships that I have that a lot of people in this game that's been solid and been real true friends like you know what I'm saying people they never got a chance to see that side like you know it's a million rappers that's my guys like Raskas is one of the first

rappers I ever hung with you're out of it ever that's the homie like I got in the West Coast in New York in New York Rats cats took me to some chicks crib in the lower I never put you all together like that this is what I'm saying yeah and we went to some chicks crib in the low after club Louis Issa? Yeah. Yo, these girls had about 90 cats in the crib. I swear, I never seen more cats. I can smell that crib right now.

I still. Right there. I can smell that. It smelled like this table club. Joe, I swear. I'm like, yo, we got to get the fuck out of here. I think it was like, now I'm getting right first. You bugging.

Word. Razz, my bro, man. Shout out Razz. So is there anybody, like, who's reached out to you that you was like, really? Yo, I ain't gonna lie, I did a show with you. Okay. We just did the show in Jersey, you know, at the spot, we shut it down. And leaving the spot, I saw Michael Bivens.

And he was talking to me about the podcast, and I'm like, damn, Michael Bivens checking the podcast. And he's like, yo, I got to pull up. I'm like, nigger, of course, pull up. You buggy? And new addition to. Yeah, of course, new addition to them. I just want you know, because I want people to be like, I had to let him know.

Like, bro, it probably wouldn't be a Memphis bleak if it was never no Michael Bivens. If he would have never signed another bad creation, I probably wouldn't be rapping. Like, seriously. How do you put that together with you, though? Why do you say that? Because me looking at them showed me I can do it.

It was like... Because you were that same age? Yeah, and then they was rapping about a girl named Aisha, and Aisha and Morsi wasn't the same girl they was rapping. So I had to write the remit. So he's all right? little different, man. Aisha and Left Wreck and

Queensbree was not the same that they were talking about either. You know what I'm saying? I'm sorry. They still out there. I'll keep again. She was a good girl, but it just wasn't that Aisha. Okay. So is there anybody's show that you want to do? Like, you want to get on?

I never thought about it, like, doing it, but until they, like, I just got a little, you know, from the homies in the street, they reached out. I say cam show. Okay, yeah. We talk or it is what it is. Talk with Fleet, because he got two shows. Talk with Fleet.

We all know, right? Genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and Black Tech Green Money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas spotlighting Black founders, investors, and innovators, building the future,

one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy, tech, and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who. they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green Money from the Black Effect

Remember the Movie Pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass, the company that he founded.

His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new 8th. documentary. We dive into how culture connects us.

everyone's not a hater and everyone is not, you know what I'm saying? It's not wishing you well. I know, you got to look at both sides and tax is my dog. That's my bro. So nothing he's saying I'm ever looking at it as hate or is always criticism. And me, I take criticism very well because I feel like if nothing, everything can't be perfect. So if there's nothing wrong, everything is wrong. So if it's only one thing.

It was like, bro, you're out of line. Not on that one. I hit him on a whole bunch of other shit. I felt like there's too much at this point. But you know why? You know what they're going crazy right now? He said, why he used to call him crack, it's not because of crack.

It's because, like, he just said, So he was fat. Like a plumbers crack? Yeah, the plumbers crack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he said he robbed 60 niggas with no gun and they helped him carry this stuff. Yo, that was all. He's the best.

Y, I love it. Yo, listen. And he said his barbed so long that he was six years old. And he had 20 niggas. It's like the most interesting man. You know those commercials? You all love that digger. You know, that nigga definitely read the Enquirer as a kid.

He definitely picked that shit up in the store. He bought the Daily News and the Enquirer for sure. I'm going to take a shot for that. Let's take a shot for that. Salood, Shaolin crack him all over. Why did he say that? What was the reason why he broke that? He said, they had a neighborhood that was, I don't know,

five percent hood like day never. His was crazy. He's not fretting. It just sounds so crazy. Yeah, cracked him a lot. Yeah, I mean, forest projects were kind of known as, like, the guard projects. Yeah, the guard island.

As a kid, I used to think it was drama. Because them thing is telling me, you know, the five percenters was on. some shit back there. It's so deep. And I know that era, so I know he's, I know what he's named. You were talking your shit, too. Yeah, I know what you said.

Because you were on your 5% of shit on your first album on T&D. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still 5% to this day, but not crack Kim or a law, though. I got corn do, condue self-esteem plus degree a law, you know what I said? Like, you know, I keep it clean. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. But you saw that AI that they made.

You know what? One, he could take it. And two, I think he kind of likes it. He's having fun with it. Yeah. He's having fun with it. One, I know he can take it. And two, I can almost see him having fun with it.

I was just telling niggas the other day on some g-shed. This is disrespectful. and I apologize to every mom and every woman out there. But if you're from New York City or you from any hard inner city growing up and you made it to this music business and you let a fan that you don't know, never met on the internet, social media, crack that shell, use a limit had. Because if you think about it, and we grew up with the most disrespectful friends. My friends was more disrespectful than anybody on the internet.

I remember racing my friends to the store. Niggas, like last nigga to the store, mom suck dick. Niggas running for mom's life. Like, real tall. Like, yo, dick, you ain't get flied first day at school. It's moms a crack cat. You're like, damn, sir, you just was eating in my crib last night and playing Nintendo. Mom jokes are the horrid.

Now my mom's smoking crack? Damn! So when you, from that era, I don't think it's nothing in music or social media that can penetrate. You know what I mean? I agree with you. Because for real. I think what it is, it's a numbers thing, too, especially if you're reading it. First of all, you shouldn't be reading this shit.

But if you read it. I read it. I love it. You might be good with 10-file ones. The 11th one got you. No, no. I love listening niggas talk of shit. Niggas like, yeah, he only out there because Jay Z paid for it. Like, yeah, I wish Jay sent that credit card, digger.

Genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and Black Tech Green Money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas spotlighting Black founders, investors, and innovators, building the future, one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy, tech, and generational wealth.

I'm bugging out. Yeah, the show in Atlantic City, he thought he had, he brought sexy back. Yo, yo, yo, he was showing you, he was bringing sexy back. He was all this shit. What the routine is Capone on? Look, listen. He's on the Peloton? I'm just telling you.

I don't tell you. Everyone used to always think it was me Like people forget that he got locked up So he probably you probably didn't see all of his image He's the he's the outgoing person I had to kind of become that person Because I had to you know Fill two seats

But you see he got right in rapper mode Bro In Atlanta City that was okay It was he was okay Yeah New Jersey Newark Oh my God I mean come up

Pones of Superstar That didn't go with outside He had his ladies with him He had his daughter with him. That nigga, like, he had his shirt. And boom smooth, man. That nigga had his shirt open like he was genuine, like he was about to sing. He had his shit like he was about to sing how you fit in those jeans.

Straight up. Yeah, he was talking about to see Pony. What? Pony, you know, Pony. Word up. He took his shirt pulled off. And you know what? I'm going to be honest.

As, you know, a person that's a part of a group, I haven't done. groups, you know, together in so long, I did miss that shit. And I did, I did miss the crowd. I was like, see, it's never been me, guys. Look. I'm the cool one, no, no. No, man, that shit always is dope.

Like, that's what I wanted to ask you, too, man. How is it? Because he's been locked up then the whole career. Not really, now he came up. He was locked up for the main two albums. Yes, man, that's what I mean. He came up. Ninety-eight, right?

Ninety-nine? Like, so how did it really, how is it you feel to have your bro back what you on stage, reliving those moments where, you know, most people, most artists, their career die out. So when they get back on stage, it's over. But you kept the flame lit.

Yeah. Everybody's home live on MTV? Word up. Yeah. That was crazy. That's what real niggas do. You know what I'm saying? Shut to that, man. You know what I mean? My G and no. It ain't. So I know Pohn. I know Pone got to be happy, like,

nigger, because Pong was phoned at home. Now he home and living. So that's what I miss, and I'll tell you what else I miss, and I know you know this, is that overseas crowd. That overseas crowd, like, all right. So, like, most of the time when you're, like, a legendary act, you get from, like, 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock to perform. Yeah.

And you kind of, like, I can go home and, like, if you're in a chair with your kids or whatever. What's crazy is I actually have, like, two careers kind of, like, right? So at the 9 o'clock or 12 o'clock, I can actually. go and do reggaeton. I can actually go and do home boy. I can actually do my solo hits. So that's the one thing I do miss it. Like, you know what I mean? Like, besides

performing on stage, period. Like, when I seen him wilder now, it kind of like, it made me happy. I was like, see, now the world gets to see, there's never me. It was never me who was the wild person. Because that War Report album was a, and I feel like he missed that run is

insane. That's crazy. I don't think a lot of people even remember or know that. that he missed that run. That's how he met him by yourself for the CNN album. Yeah, that's how I met him by itself with the GS's. And I'm like, we're upon that. And then that's when I knew Pone phone home was real. That wasn't recorded in the studio.

That was real. Paul was phoned at home. He reminded me of, you know, an artist I had, my man H. Money Bag. That had so much potential, super nice. He's home now. He's home now. But it's like, you know, niggins. just, the law just, they could never

just escape the grasp of the law, man. Just, you know, and I feel like that cut their chances a little bit. But at least poems still get to live and live in those moments. We just had G. Dep on, bro. I know, man. And that was crazy to see he said, he

never regretted. Y'all turning to somebody. Oh, yeah, no, he does. That's the number one question everybody want to know. Hey, dog, what was you smoking, now? Yeah, he says that. People inside were telling them that. I'm gonna be honest with you. Because I asked him the question

like five different times because I, you know, I watched all of his interviews to like try to like try to like, you know, like get him. In the case he was uncomfortable talking about it. I wanted to talk to him about it. Yeah. And the way he read that he is comfortable. Yeah. So I asked

him five different times and I didn't want to just be like, yo, why? You know? And when I asked him why and he was like, he's like he didn't regret it. Yeah. And not one time. I was like, you are a much better dude that meet at him. Yeah, listen, listen, listen.

I don't care if I'm Jabba the Hut from Spaceball's Paul. Jabba from Spaceball? He ate itself to death. You're talking about eating them alive. It's not he and me that dick digger. Ain't nothing in this world

going to make me go to them niggas and tell them niggas. Hey, Cah, I know what I did last summer. Or, you know, he, he, He understands that. He paid this death in society. He said, the people that didn't have bodies

would never understand. He said the people that have bodies inside understood. Yeah, he's right. I don't. You're right. I don't have nobody. I don't understand. He said everybody without bodies didn't understand.

I don't understand. I do not need it. I don't need it. What? I don't understand. Like, the way he broke it down. Like, that shit was like. He broke it down where it made sense.

Listen, every man has their own journey. They own path. Right. So I don't knock. No. For the decisions and choices they make Because you got to live with those And he decided to live with that decision

He came home a better man I hear him talking I see his interviews His mind is sharper He fresher than what he was when he was on the street So he might have the illest Business plan business model lined up We don't know everything ain't about rap You know what I'm saying

He didn't know that he had a body When he turned himself in He wasn't sure he wasn't sure what it was He was not he was sure No, no, no, no, no, no, he says it. He didn't know. He didn't know what happened to that person. Like, he thought he clapped yala.

He ain't know he. He didn't know what happened. He bodied the yala. This is spanned. Okay. Yeah, the yala, that shit happens. He bodyed the yala. That's the, but that's how it happened, my nigger.

90% of these bodies is caught by mistake. You know what I'm saying? Not intended. They just want to shoot to scare somebody or shoot to hurt them real quick. And the niggas lay there and stretch. I mean, you shoot him. You shoot him. That's what I'm saying.

You pull that ratty out, boy. It's only one thing that you should have on your mind is the intent to kill. Don't pull that ratty out to scare nobody, anger, because you're going to be sitting there. Lives are changing one way or the other. That's a fact. Like the boy, like the OG Sabaz say, 30 seconds or 30 years, you pick which one? You better make the right decision. I think I'm just Shabazz the OG.

Word up. 30 seconds or 30 years. So let me ask you the last one and then we get back. No, I got another one. You got another one? You go over there because I was going to end it with it. No, no, we got a couple more. You got a couple more?

Oh, a couple more. Come on, shoot. Big Daddy Kane and Rakim. Ooh, Big Daddy King, because he taught me how to get these ho-hoos. Oh, shit. No. Oh, shit. Okay, here's a legendary one on drink champs.

What, who? Scarface. Excuse me, Ice Cube, or Biggie? Biggie, man. Come on. I never met Cube. I love fucks with Cube. I never met Cube, though.

You know what I mean? Cube a good dude, man. His criteria, if I never met you, I'm not picking you. No, it ain't even that I never met you. No, but Biggie is my God, man. Like, come on, man. Biggie is family. We've been in the crib with Biggie.

First time I seen the elevator in the house was in Biggie Cree in Teaneck, New Jersey, man. Cube never showed me nothing but Friday, man. He showed you a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. It's still a lot. He showed you there's a way. There's a way. He definitely showed me away.

And I love his transition because it's crazy. My son think Ice Cube is just an actor. And I'm like, nah, he gangsta, gangster. Right, right. Like, he gang gang. He like, whatever, dad. Are we there yet? Kill dad, the wall.

Yeah, you said you got a war? No, no, no. He killed me with the big dedication. Or respect. Loyalty or respect I feel like loyalty brings respect Okay You know what I'm saying

I feel that You gotta respect you just for your loyalty Okay No actually I'm gonna add one Okay Being a podcaster Or being an MC artist Podcaster

Is I get to talk my shit Without a beat Or sitting there Trying to think of some shit That niggas gonna fuck with Or like It's just fucking It's not

So you see podcasting is easier than being an artist? Yeah, because this is, you know Jay told me years ago, man, I swear. This is, I think, when ludicrous first came out, because Jay, we always used to crack jokes to do shit, and he would be like, yo, bleak. When the world get to see your personality, bro, your life going to change, man. Like, why you don't put your personality in your music? And I'm like, nigga, I'm from the era where, and that mic, Mike cut on, we gang, gang, I ain't, no way, I ain't, I'm not buster.

I'm not luda, I'm not missy. Like, it just... And what you're saying about that is like a character figure. Like, you got serious. You don't want you to say that. If you say that, people don't take that the wrong way. No, they could take it how they want to take it. They was animated and doing, you know, entertainment.

They were entertaining. I'm not that type of entertainer. Yeah. But then when you fast forward, when you take a buster, you take a Missy, you take a ludicrous, and you build that up, You get a two chains. Right. Ah. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it.

They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases. But everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is a small lab in Texas is. cracking the code on DNA.

Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught, and I just looked at my computer screen, I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors,

Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and Black Tech Green Money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas spotlighting Black founders, investors, and innovators, building the future, one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy, tech, and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me,

I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green Money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm sure she'd never come with a pause, but... Remember the Movie Pass era? Where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass, the company that he founded.

His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us.

So listen to there are no girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know what I'm saying? Two Chains is the one who I feel like, damn, I could have did it that way. Because when some be spitting,

I'd be like, he killed that. He's a funny motherfucker. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So when I hear him, it's like, I never thought about that, that angle of it. I thought about...

So they were telling you before that you needed to put more of your character into your right. Yeah, Jack Ben told me because he was like, yo, your personality, you one of a kind, there's nobody in the world like Bleak. So, it's so weird that after the pod drop, and I seen him at the Cowboy

Carter show in D.C., he was like... Nice floss. He was like... The right floss. Right force. He was like, yo, bleak, this is it, man. He was like years ago... Approved by him. Yeah, he's like, years ago, I thought it would come through the music. Take a shot for that. Give him a

shot. He don't got, let's get this. Give him a shot. I got a shot. No, no, no, I'm literally. This is a shot. You take your last shot. Your last shot. No, fuck that shot. DuCet, Bobby. He's like, this is half a Rock Solid. You're not doing it.

Do you say Tuesday. No, fuck that. Listen. So he was like, yo. He was like, you got the podcast like, and now they get to see what I saw. And he was like, bro, don't stop. I love what you doing.

Continue. He even was putting pressure on niggas in the room. I ain't going to say no names. But he was looking at that niggas. Hey, dog, y'all niggas better pull up. Pull up the rock solid. Lord. So say one name.

Nah, no, I can't show, nah. We see the pictures. Do we know the names? We know it. Everybody want to know when Jay coming to Rock Island. I told him whenever he got some shit to say, pull up, man, you know, my podcast is your podcast. Come through and talk that shit. You want to shit on niggas, come shit on them on my platform.

Right. Because I'm a shit on them with you. now that's a great segment because I know you off camera too and one you're the most loyalist person my brother you're real

and I know your love for Jay right? But Jay is at the level where he's so big right pause right he's so much of a character you know like untouchable like image right that everyone wants to go

out there because they know if one lucky guy gets him to respond they might have a career out of that but how you get a career of a nigga shitting on you no but what I'm asking you is with your loyalty and

you know y'all really grew up in the same building you from 3D he's from 5E or 5C 5C I'm from 5E yeah um not in y'all build it you know my building but um has it ever been a time

like where you've seen somebody say something one that wasn't incorrect or you just seen somebody that said something that wasn't qualified and you

you wanted to say something back but then you it was people telling you yo chill hold back you know everybody the whole industry Any of these niggas that ever talk shit

I'd be ready to, you know But niggies tell me, hey, dog Don't pay them no attention, you know what I'm saying? Like, we bigger than that. We don't got to respond to that. Like, you know what I mean? The best form of The best response is no response Because it drives a madman crazy.

You know what I'm saying? So, but on my, on my end, like I'd be wanting to fire out all these niggas, because none of these niggas is built like they say they are, bro. Like, I see all these niggas in the street and it's Like, y'all think y'all cool with me, but you want to shit on the bro? Right.

Y'all niggas is soft. Like, because if I'm a shit on a nigger, your whole team getting shitted on. I'm not cool with one nigger out of the team. Like, oh, bleak, it's nothing with you. But, nah, nigger, it's something with everybody. Right. And I'll be, but it's just, you know, we from that cloth where we ain't going to expose who we are or our feelings to the media, bro. we ain't we ain't gonna crash out like these young boys say i'm not on a crash out mom

these niggas is crash dummy so we let them strap up put their seatbelt on right yeah yeah fuck that but i definitely be one you know that marsy nigger that young nigga that be like man i slap this nigga like that should definitely be yeah be there like y'all digers is playing with me man like you playing with the team like we ain't really been outside or we ain't we with them niggas that really, come on, man. Like, everybody got a crew of them niggas. Right. But niggas better not forget, man.

Right. This is Marcy, man. You niggas could not come, man. And we still with them guys. You want a shot for that? Of course, man. No, no, no. Not for that. No, this is a shot. This is a shot. Tiny shot. Because I'm fucking lit.

Yeah, that's right. And they just might not fucking forget. No, no, no. Give me a tiny shot. I got it. I got it. Nah, cool, man. They got me talking. Let's see that one else, so we can throw that one. They got me talking shit.

Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's it. That's the last one. Look, that do say, that great duce. Oh, there's go. That's going to, sir. You're a haiku, salo.

Salute. Trust me. Wait, but how does it feel now be on the opposite end interviewing people? Because you used to as an artist being interviewed. And is it weird because it's your peers, too? That at first felt weird, like talking to free, talking to Chris talking to Just Blaze, young guru, asking them questions. It's like, I know some of these answers, but the fans want to know, I still got to ask.

So then it felt weird now. I feel like after I look at what's going on and I look at the podcast platform and the media platform, I realize something. A lot of these guys that I'm bringing on the show would not have been interviewed. Like when the last time you've seen a young Chris, or Freeway, a DJ Franzin, a pain in the ass interview. That's how we felt in the

beginning of the drink chat. You know what I mean? But it's different on my perspective because I feel like these guys would have never been interview. And also your show was based on the label. Like so this But what I'm saying from my perspective is

if young Chris and Freeway not shitting on Jay or Bing's, nobody want to talk to them. It's nothing to go viral. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Like, young Chris been writing for a lot of artists in this gang, putting out records. He just dropped the album with him and Dave East.

You know, he lived. You know what I'm saying? Him and Dave East. Yeah, like, no one would have interviewed them. So that's why I feel like I'm giving voices to the underdogs, man. Niggas that ain't trying to go viral for some whole shit or because you did them wrong or you crossed me. It's like, dog, I'm really working, man.

And there's people out here that want to hear the hard work. work, the grind, and don't care about the antics, the after-hour bullshit. You know what I'm saying? So I think my platform covers that. You know what I'm saying? Like. So who's your dream guest right now? Of course, man.

I want Hove to come sit up there. We know that. And we also. Besides Hoare. Yeah, but I want, I want niggas to see how me and Hove relationship is. What do you think is the percentage of that actually happening soon? sooner than later. I'm about 65%. In the positive? Yeah.

Okay. Hell yeah. Hope pulling up. I don't care if I got to kidnap that nigga. He's pulling up. Don't be mad if we pull up and it's a collab episode. I don't care. I'll be in the crowd like this. Yeah, but I just want people to see our relationship because for years, I think people get the concept that I grew up with, like we hung together.

I'm like the little bro. The age difference, right. Yeah, like, I'm the little homie, like, go play. And even to this day, that nigger looked at me like, I told Hope, right, at the Cowboy Carter Show in Vegas, I'm like, yo, I just opened up an Italian restaurant out here in Vegas called Roma Kitchen, and we opened up a bar called Tuscan Cove. Pull up, my G, come through.

I shut it down for you. He's laughing at me. Ah! You ain't got no, you ain't got no sauce, nigger, whatever. So we get to the show, Mama Love Pull Up. You know, Miss Carter, the lovely queen, his sister, nephews, everybody. They're like, yo, we just came from the restaurant. She's fire.

I look at him like, you can't pull up, though, and Mama Love pulled up. So, yeah, now I think he notably got the sauce, man. You know what I'm saying? I got the sauce for real. We out there in Vegas, kill it. Shout out my dog, friend, C, my partner out there and my dog Steve, man, you know? We cook it, so you don't want to take your kids on vacation. Bring them to Roma kitchen.

Talk about myself over there. Bring them to Tuscan Cove. We got the pool. I get you a nice bungalow patio, get you some service at the pool. You know what I'm saying? Come fuck with us, dog. We got vacation in America But you didn't answer though

Besides hope who's the next dream guest Snoot Snoop dog Because I don't think niggas understand the relationship Me and Snoop dog And I got And I don't think niggas understand the drama Snoop don't even know the beef I got with him

I guess you're gonna know that Because he got to come on the show So we can fix this shit But you got to explain this shit. That nigga smoked me out twice. Okay. I thought I'm the smoke guard. Nobody could smoke blizzle under the table.

I hung with snoo twice. I had to quit. Tap out. Like, yo, wrestler. Tag out. I say it on the show. That nigga kept going and kept going. We smoked so much you can see the smoke in the air floating.

And I knew I was high. Like, I never saw smoke unless it was a fire. So it's drama. I need Snoop to pull up. We got to re-battle. Oh, y'all going to battle. What was your story? Can we take up?

A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught.

I'm Will Lucas spotlighting Black founders, investors, and innovators.

Building the future, one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy, tech, and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment.

So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO, and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green Money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind. Behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass the company that he founded. His story is wild that it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary.

We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black Bounder. Close your eyes and tell me what a take. tech founder looks like.

had it on my hip like a shotgun. You look out of machete. So we ride around all night looking for the game. We're going to find this nigga. He dissing me? What? Where are you at? We never seen the game, right? We, end of the night.

We like, yo, let's go back to the hotel. Fuck it. We ain't see the homie. And man. It's just me and my little man. We ain't deep. We ain't nothing. Just me and hip. We all out here on demon time. We get to hotel. Who in front of the hotel? Games with security.

So I'm in the car. I'm like, yo, dude, go right there. We jump out the car. All his security guards was Dame's security at at the studios. Dame used to be at. So when they saw me, they like, Bleak, what up, my nigga? Nah, nigger ain't no time for that. So they're like, yo, what's

It wasn't nothing. But I still never got to the bottom on why he dissed me. But he a cool nigger. Like when I met him, it was nothing. He was like it was just some rap shit. It is what it is. Like me, I never been on that. Yo, I want to prove I'm the best.

So I'm a diss anybody who I feel like it's competition. Game is on that. shit and he lyrically nice I'm never going to take that away from him he's nice he put on for the west he do his thing but that's just not my thing to be like yo fuck it let's battle I'm I'm trying to make this money my

thing I'm not trying to prove I'm the illest lyricist but I'm better than I'm better than I yeah you was going to say something about gang what was the question you was going to ask me about the homie? No With me, I want them to come on Rock Solid

Because I want to ask them Yeah, we gotta get to the bottom of that story I want game So game, where's my camera? It's my camera, right? Rame's always with my camera This is my nigga I want to know

Game, we would love the shit Yeah, I want to know, damn, Don't, you know, rock solid Will you go to Cali to do that? I go anywhere Yeah, yo my nigga I want to ask Cam I want to ask Jimmy, I want

ask Cam, yo Game, yo cup Yo, I got niggas this me, blah? What I did to you, blood? So you don't know. Like, you're not playing. Me and Jimmy was in the studio gambling, losing money to each other.

And the next thing I heard, man, Bleak don't want no beef. Like, Nick, I want my money back. Fuck you mean, I want no beef? I just lost some bread. What fuck you're talking about? And him, I didn't know him, bro. So when I met him, he was like,

yo, it's some East Coast, West Coast. They said, you that nigga from the East. So I, you know, I'm the new nigga from the West. I just want to let niggins know if you can't fuck with me. Yeah, game saying this to me. And I'm like, don't give a- before he's on G-Unit, right? No, he was on G-U-N.

I'm like, man, I don't give a fuck about who from, who, who, from where. I'm trying to get this money, nigga. I don't want to prove I'm the best hair there. Nigga, I'm me and this is Marcy. Either it's smoke or it's not. Because if it's just some rap shit, I don't want to do it. You need that rock solid podcast. You need that game, rock, rock, solid.

got to pull up. Yeah, that's fine. So now, let me ask you the million other question. What's up? If you had a chance. And I'm saying this, maybe naive-ish, and maybe just hypothetic-ish. Excuse me.

You had a chance, and you had. Hove and Biggs, right? And then Dame texts you and say I'm in the back door. Like, I don't know. Let y'all at Kelly Rollins.

Would I go get them and let them in? Yeah, let me finish my question. Yeah, I'm just, I'm trying to see where you go on with this. But that's exactly where I'm going. Okay. So let's move like, all right. You heard Dame is in a neighborhood. Yeah, I go to Kelly Roll.

I'm just giving you. That's the first name I thought of, right? Yeah, Kelly Rowland. Shout out Kelly Rowland. She's about to go on tour. Yeah, that's fine. I've seen the Destiny Child look. That was hard.

That was major. So, let's suppose Kelly Roland hit you. Now, Biggs and Dave. Excuse me, Biggs and Jay's there. She gets the text from Dame. Dame was like, yo, you know, I'm outside. job right there. Would I let them in?

Do blizzle going to get him? Because, oh, shit. No, no, no. Let me not interrogate the witness. That's what you do he says? No, I know. Don't lead the witness. Let him answer the question.

It's all good. My nigga, like, first of all, I would ask. I would ask the big homie. I would let him know. Yo, fam, such and such outside. He said, you know what I mean? Can I come get him? and if the big homie gave the green light that he have no issue with it it's not a problem

it's not it's not it's not gonna fuck up his comfort zone then yeah a hundred thousand percent I've been in that situation before bro not the exact situation no I've been in that situation with a few niggas man like you know what I'm saying I'm about that exactly yeah no that type of situation like I remember when the um what is it the fanatic shit in New York. The first event was last year in New York. Right. You know what I mean? And I'm walking in the spot and I seen

Neef and Freeway. And it was like, yo, bleak. Like, yo, what's up? Can we get in? And I'm like, you know, this shit is some like invite list shit only. But let me go in and make sure the dogs everything is cool and it's like okay. And when I went and told

the big home, he's like, niggas you crazy? Of course. Let the homies. And I went back out and got them. But you always He's got to make sure that the family is cool because the love I got for these guys, I'm going to look out for them no matter what. I'm always trying to, even if, even if Hope say no, right? And we, he might not, I might not get him in backstage with us, but I put him in somewhere in the show, you know what you can, right?

Because I'm not one to see none of my niggas down bad or outside looking like they behind the velvet rope. You know what I'm saying? Like, so my question, yeah, I would get damn in. Let me ask you, from your point of view, do you ever foresee a future where... No. No? Hove and Dame.

Never speak? Yeah. No. I feel like a line was crossed, man. Too much... You don't see no future where that happens. Too much... Here's the reason why I ask.

If you said you'll get them backstage now... No, I didn't say I'll get them backstage. Only if the comfort level was at yellow. Oh, okay. But other than that, I put them in Ro 12. You said you asked first. Yeah, I put him in road 12. He had you taking them backstage, holding them by then, walking them in.

Niggas crossed the line that's no return, bro. You know, them all the dialogue, interviews, like, I don't know how much niggas get paid for that shit or whatever, but it's like when you speak on personal issues, a man's kids, a man integrity, and you know, niggas going through cases and shit, and you speaking on that, it's like, it's no return from that, bro. It's like, that's the last, that's the bus. button. But they say George Bush the button? That's the button, nigger.

What? How do you even talk to a nigger about a nigger who talked about him like that? I don't even know how to bring that conversation up to a man. Like, you know, that's been ridiculed and dragged through the media by a nigger that you called your bro that would question your integrity.

How do you even bring that up? Like, I told you, I went to Vegas with the intentions on, you know, I'm an ax, niggas, can I, you know? And then the first thing was bought up to me was like, yo, you sing this interview, it's like, let me shut up. Don't even bring it up, Blake. So it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, is, it's, is, it's,

but I feel like the grave was dug, but a lot of these niggas through the dirt on their self. But what is your personal, uh, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, if you, wanted everything to be in a perfect world? Oh, I want it back the way it was. Oh, that will never happen. No, that's what I told you.

No, but I wanted it to back the way it was. But let me get you a perfect world. In my perfect world, Rockefeller would have never broke up, man. To me, when Rockefeller broke up, this is what I want people to know, right? I was the kids straight from junior high school to high school, to roll it with the homies, to it finally taken off. So I never saw the team not being together. So that was like, even when Jay used to say certain shit to me,

was like, ah, whatever, these the homies, this family, we're going to figure it out. So when the breakup and all that shit really happened, I feel like that magic trip. You know, when the magician have all the glasses and the silverware, everything on the table, and he just pulled the tablecloth. Everything is still the same. but the tablecloth is going That's what I feel like the breakup was

You didn't feel it happened We was all still in the same position But it's obvious But you felt the change You knew something was different And that's how I feel So in the perfect world In my world

I wouldn't want the tablecloth back You know what I'm saying Because even Memphis bleak man My career was a demise of the breakup You know I still felt like I had more to give in the Rockefeller tank. And you're saying you really didn't see it coming? No, I saw it coming.

I heard it, but you never could prepare. I was a kid, bro. So I wasn't, even when I was, you know, when the breakup happened, I was 24 years old, 25 years old. In reality, yeah, I'm a grown-up, but I wasn't prepared, and there's no way to prepare for something that you did your whole life.

Right, right. Like, you know, there was no, yo, what I'm going to do next. This is all I do. you know what I'm saying like so it fucked everybody up bro it wasn't easy even for hove like niggas look at it like he made more

money became a billionaire did this this why he cut niggas off but at the end of the day you got to close those deals and you got to put yourself in a position to be worth those deals so it wasn't easy you didn't get there just by like yo if you if you sell Rockefeller we give you

a billion dollars it don't work like that you still had to grind and make yourself put yourself on the playing field to be in that market so it worked out you know i'm happy at the end of the table here we are but shit could have been the other way fantastic fantastico yeah i'll take a couple more shots do you know what i'm gonna take a peepie God's beliefs Is that You're gonna have a socket

I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green Money

from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the Movie Pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a junior.

see new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

I created there are no girls on the internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are no girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's your last words, Lord?

Yeah, I got a story about Russ. I said it on one of my, it's going to drop later, but, yo, listen, right? Oh, it's dropping later, but go ahead. On my, because I said it, I was talking to one of my niggins on the podcast. I forgot who I'm talking to, but stories just come up. So listen, Russ gave me some game in life that I thought, Hey, man, Russ, leave me the fuck alone. We're outside.

You don't know what you're talking about. And then older me is like, shit, Russ was on to something. He knew exactly what he was talking about. So we was in the office one day, right? Just chilling like it's like. And Rockefeller, Def Jam. No, the Def Jam. Barrick or?

No, this is 50th. This is where we've been. The big boy. We eat in Rockefeller. Right. So Jay, like, Barrack. There, we was just coming up. Yeah.

Y'all had your own floor at that time, right? I'm sorry. For the industry, niggas, this is... Yeah, but we was eating. Inside information. Go ahead. So, Jay was doing some, and he was like, yo, come me upstairs to Rust Office. And I'm like, all, cool, let's wrong.

We go to Russ Office. They talk in mad business shit. We drinking. Everybody's chilling. I got on shorts, regular short shit, because it's high. Summertime in New York. So we're chilling. We was in the rest office probably like an hour and a half.

Yo, bro, I was so, y'all, I don't even know what they was talking about. But it had to be about some type of album promotion, marketing, deals, marketing, whatever they was talking about. This was J. This was still, there was Fat Farm era. Okay, yeah. We get up to leave. This is Russ is active, active, right. We get up to leave the office.

I get up and stand up. Remember, I told you all that was shorts. The pistol fell on the floor in Russ' office. So I pick it up like nobody's. saw it. He saw it. He was like, yo, you're carrying the gun, man. I almost felt like the

Lean-O-Misi. You're carrying the gun, and it's like, hell yeah, rough shit, lit out there. When you said, Leonor Misi, and you're talking about when you... Yeah, when, like, the principal telling you, like, you're stupid as a little niggum. Yeah. That one? No, no, no, no. I'm going to smack crack.

You know, you know, that's about that point. I'm saying, you know, you know, I'm black. But you know, Black, I'm leaning on me. Yeah, but, yo. All the way through. So, Russ was like, yo, you carry in the country. So I'm like, yeah, Russ is active out here. We in New York.

This shit, it's real. I'd rather be caught with it than without it. And I think it was like, man, you see where you at? Like, look who you where millionaires. Man, you're sitting in here. It's millionaires in here. He was like, ain't no way. He's like, I'm Russell Simmons.

I know you ain't more famous than me. He was like, I'm Russell Simmons. I know you ain't got more money than me. So who would be after you? That ain't after me. He's like, so you know what that mean? You're in the wrong spots, young man. You're in places you don't belong if you still got to carry a gun.

And like I said, I'm looking at Russ like, Russ, you ain't outside. This ain't the 80s. He was out of touch. He was out of touch. Right, right. But as I get older, I realize. No, you understand exactly what he was saying.

A fact, bro, like, because me today, me? Oh, I ain't going nowhere. I need the pistol. Right. If I need the pistol, Bleak ain't there. Yeah. We straight up. Of course.

Like, but back then, like I said, I didn't understand it. Of course, man. So I always respect OG for giving me gang and always just, you know, looking out. And I respect all the OGs from Def Jam, man. Like Mike Kaiser, the Kevin Lassie. Russell Julie Greenwald Julie

Leo fucking um Randy Acker Randy of course Randy Rob Love of course Rob Love

fucking Um What's my girl name Who went to work for Who went to work for a murder Inc? Damn She's gonna be pissed

I forgot her name man But everybody up there Played the role In the life I live today The man I became because one thing about Def Jam, it was nothing but seasoned vets up there

and they didn't let none of the artists just be reckless. They was giving us tool and giving us game to be focused and it was on each his own who listen. And me, I listen, bro. I used to study like, what the fuck? Why these guys so powerful? I wanted to be powerful like them. And I knew ignorance wouldn't get me there.

Do you think we ever, wait, hold on, do you think we ever have another Def Jam? Absolutely. I feel like we don't... Definitely. Nah. There's some young hungry niggas out there, man. It's all about...

But you think the business environment will even allow another Def Jam? Of course, because I think what Def Jam was was guys who wanted to make their mark and check and change the music. Because they changed the course of music of where it was going at that time.

Right. You know what I mean? Just saw four artists that they signed. DMX, J-Rul, J-Z. Well, before that, Def Jam was Def Jam, though. Yeah, but still, but then they went through a dark cloud like they did right now. So that's what I mean. They can come back.

You mean Def Jam? They did it before. Yes. No, I don't think so. All right. I don't feel the same way. Okay. And I'm not saying Def Jam as a label can't come back.

I just feel culturally and what it means it doesn't, because it's corporate owned. It's been bought over a couple times. So, let's say, it's not that boutique label. You think niggas like young Saf? The homies that run Best of both, best of both officers. No, those are They're all great. They can't revive that company. They were the, remember,

they were the interns when we, they were the street team. Absolutely. Now they're running the business. The whole time with them, yeah. So, bro, you give them guys that, the key to the car. Are they going to get it, though? If it's if they want it, because they could take it right now.

They're that powerful. If they wanted, I feel like guys like that. You know the Shari Bryant's and, you know, the new young blood in the gang, bro? Like, come on, man, it's a lot of young blood. Shout to Mazi over there, too. That could shift the narrative. You know, it's just when one of these big corporate companies going to want to take the risks on a new young executive?

That's what it really take. Because there's a lot of young guys, girls out here that got the potential to change what the music business is heading towards. but it's who want to take the bet. So I don't never say never. I just say when. I just say different. And definitely, it's always going to never be the same.

That's what I'm saying. It's not going to be the old. It might be bigger. It's going to be different. Bigger is subjective. Hey, there's more money in the business today. That ain't subjective. 100%, but it's not coming to the artist.

For the most part, for the most part, not. Some of them, they're getting that fucking fete. The tech companies are taking it. Well, come on, let's build us a tech company. That's what needs to happen. Yo, but. Take it the picture. I had a little pepper.

I need to rewind, car. Yeah, take that rewind. You can have that box right there. Tell them, yo, rewind, rock solid. You're trying to rewind. Highlight us. Highlight us, because blood. Monster.

Yeah, yeah We all, we end in all that We're good I was a grim and we got you in the yala We can't tell you gonna throw up the guns Bye bye No, no, no guns Yo, what happened to the air horns
