Starting point is 00:05:06 2009, I did that record at my old crib. Me and my homie, Coors, really was going through some samples with me. We were just going through some vinals, and we came across this loop. It was crazy, and we sampled it. I think that same night, I do a little kickback at my house and shit. Must it was DJing. Must have played this one. record by d4l that geeked up right and when i was listening to geeked up i seen all the bitches
Starting point is 00:05:42 just started going crazy and shit and i was trying to like break down why it may be or what what was it about this song you know what i mean not only was the the hook crazy but the beat was simple as fuck it was just like a few sounds and shit so i kind of took that same science i added some drums to that sample we came up with the song next thing you know my my big homie big b was like, yo, I got this artist. He from the city, you need to fuck with him. He played me the music. I didn't really fuck with the music because it was like that jerk shit.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And at the time, it was like, I was like, jerk. What's jerk? That jerk. Like, yeah, that shit was like some L.A. shit. Yeah. The early. I thought jerk was Bay Area.
Starting point is 00:06:26 No, no, no, no. Yurt was L.A.? L.A. Really? Oh, shit. I got confused. Go ahead. I thought Hype was the Bay.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Okay. Shout out to the Bay. Okay. I think if you're confused. Okay. My back. Okay. You ain't popping in the Bay.
Starting point is 00:06:36 you're not popping in L.A. Okay, all work together as one. That's how I feel about it. Right, right, right. Anyway, I forgot where I met in the story, but. We were talking about getting into the beats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't even mustard.
Starting point is 00:06:51 You're not fucking with the jerk. Yeah, I wasn't really loving. You said you didn't like the music because it was a jerk. Like he had all these songs on MySpace that I wasn't really loving, but Big V was like, yo, I'm telling you you need to work with this dude. So he came through, we did this song. next thing you know my homie James Earl Jones
Starting point is 00:07:09 I might be getting his name wrong but my nigga shot the video at Doc Wilder everybody from the city came through to this video shoot man just the same time Drake had first dropped that baby you mind everything it was like that time we shot the video
Starting point is 00:07:27 shit went up it came out Todd Dollar Sign featuring YG and TC 4800 Tudit and Boodie with the shit fucking got a million views fastest shit. Wow. Let's make you look. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Hey, you got no label at the time. No label at the time. Okay. Nice. You got all the mixtakes out, but it's not, this is the first one that's hitting. Go ahead, let's pin it in you, my bad. So all the labels start calling this shit,
Starting point is 00:07:51 we get excited, like, all right, we own, we own. Then all of a sudden, they hit us with it. They just want to sign YG. So I talked to T.C. about it. I'm like, we can. And this is your record. This is my, my shit? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Oh, shit. That's your shit. Oh, bad. I got my home shit, too. You know, I'm a machin, nigga. I was going to order a matcha, too. Yeah, that's definitely that mine. Yeah, I didn't order it.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Popaan, oatmeal, latte. Go ahead, guys. You don't drink champs. There's a different type of drink. Yeah, yeah, no problem. No problem. You got to gear up. You got to gear up.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah. Good. And then, after that, we're like, cool. Let's give them the record. Right. They signed YG. They put this shit out. The Debt Jam sign Y.
Starting point is 00:08:28 They put it out. And then all of a sudden, TC off the song. I'm still on the song, but they're not saying my name. They're just saying YG2Nabood, YG2Boo. Wow. So then, uh, we shoot the video again professionally with Colin Tilley. At the time, he was just like, I think he charged like 10,000, 15,000 for the video. Now he's up to like a million, you know, saying shout out to Colin Tilly. Right. Um, we shoot the video, they put me in the video, but it still don't say Thai dollar time. So just think, man, from 2009, even though I had a hit and then I put out some
Starting point is 00:09:04 other songs, put out some other songs. I didn't end up getting my deal until 2012 with Atlantic, and I'm still in that deal right now. I'm almost done, though. But we probably re-up. So, was that originally through Teller Gang? Taylor Gang, not. That was originally through
Starting point is 00:09:20 us. Okay. I changed the label, and then probably a year later, two years later, I met Will from Taylor Gang, and we locked in a telegang situation. Shout Out Whiz as well. Okay. So let's bring it back for the people. that for the industry people
Starting point is 00:09:36 when you got to Atlantic what is this the Atlantic regime because you know there's different people that passed it was like the Julie Greenwald regime Craig Calman regime that was like Kaiser yeah okay okay that's shout out to them okay that's my family right you know they all
Starting point is 00:09:49 gone now right yeah what the fuck they're rich as fuck stop playing with them they're out there chilling somewhere who's gonna take their jobs robots no snoopie was the whole new regime shout out to Elliot okay so so Grange came in with his squad and they
Starting point is 00:10:04 doing their thing, man. Shout out to them. Okay. You got to congratulate the young niggas, man. All right, because let's just talk about that for a second. Because, all right, that squad that we just named came from my squad at Def Jam. Yeah. Right? And they came to. It's funny how to the, it's so small like that.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yeah, so, you know, so that whole squad from Devjamb went to the, and then that's when Atlantic Records was popping, right? Right. So now that they're trying to say they're not popping. No, no, no, I'm just saying. Let's be clear. Let's be clear. Now that they're all gone. And you're a seasoned artist now, right? So is that something, do you have to reintegrate these relationships with the label?
Starting point is 00:10:41 Or you already knew these people that came in and took these guys' positions? Some of them that stayed. And some of them that's new. Some people, like, shout out to Tashana. Tashana used to be my day-to-day at Taylor Gang. Oh, wow. At Atlanta. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:56 So let's work it up. Yeah, man. So the transition is good. Transition is good, man. Okay. I mean, that's just how the world is, man. the world transition. Either you're going to be ready for it
Starting point is 00:11:04 or you're going to complain and be stuck in the old times. Right. Okay. So let's dig right into it. Let's talk about vultures. You know what? We're not even going to make this shit about that time period. We're going to make this shit about time.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Hell yeah, right now. I didn't really talk to do, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean, we could do a whole other drink champs. Yeah, you know, that's all right. You know what I'm saying? You can call blood up here. We can figure it out. Go ahead, right.

Starting point is 00:12:26 And we threw the first listening there, had some DSP partners in the building had all fine shit around it was crazy that was the most fine shit I've seen in LA in a long time I ain't gonna lie right so let's talk about the new album then let's just get straight to it the new album's called Tycoon correct new album is called Tycoon man okay
Starting point is 00:12:44 we got the two singles is that considered singles yeah for sure for sure you got all in you got a smile body pretty face I just dropped that on Friday shout out to my brother YG 400 shout out to my brother Kodak Kodak came through with that hook and YG said he put him in touch
Starting point is 00:12:58 there's not a thing that'd be That we should go as well on the production. But why she got the hardest line, though? He said he's putting the tongue in the ass hole. Oh, you ever did that? No, no, no, no, no. Especially the eye. You never did that.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I never did that because I'm... I'm going like the motherfucker, boy. I swear to God, these niggins line, bro. So you try to tell me how I'm trying to tell me you and I never been eating the pussy from the back. And then all of a sudden, you open your eyes in your tongue from the breath. Hey, baby I'm trying. Right, it might be some new shit. No, and to teach me something.
Starting point is 00:13:33 All this, he's talking about a mistake. The way YG said it, he said, no, he's aiming for the assholes. Okay. All right, how about this? How about this? You're getting domed up. Then all of a sudden she'd go to the balls, and all of a sudden, they start going too far down.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Oh. And then you give it a thigh, like, watch out. Oh, shit. These niggas ain't answering You too They must be married Yeah What's my name
Starting point is 00:14:04 What's the name of the song? A smile, body, pretty face Okay, now Is there a video going on with this? Yeah, we just did the video The video about to be so crazy Shout out to Hajie, shout out to the whole team
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah, man We're just showing off A whole bunch of beautiful ladies And, you know, us just hanging out So, so, like The era that you first came
Starting point is 00:14:27 out in right you had to go run do radio promo uh you know do even about promo for you know performance wise nowadays it's all about spotify it's all about who being on the playlist it's all about you know uh itunes so how what's the difference for promoting back then than promoting this album now yeah it's different but uh my thing is i think it's like the people I think it's the fans. It's just getting in front of the fans and having your relationship with the fans. And that's the most important part.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And thank God, I got that, man. Shout out to all my fans out there. Sure. You think it's going back to, like, grassroots, meat and greets. Like, you see these meat and greets that's happening right now? You think it's going back to, you know, back in the days, I'm older than you and I've been out a long.
Starting point is 00:15:16 We used to have, not me in Greece. It used to be in stores. I'm sorry. For everybody that's old like me. It's me in stores, but the fans would come in store. I'm definitely pushing O-N-2, so I know what you're saying. So weird, but the ill thing about that was they wouldn't let the fans in unless the fan actually bought the album. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Me and me saw a little different because they're actually paying the artists to do this. So is that something that you're looking into? Yeah, I'm definitely into that, man. I've been doing my own, like I said, I've been doing my own listeners at my building. At my building, I got a speakeasy. I got members-only cards. You know what I'm saying? Like Soho House?
Starting point is 00:15:56 Like 100thage? God damn it's on the Soho House. God damn it. That man got a home to Soho House. It's different things the fans could do to like get to different levels of the tycoon world. Oh, that's a real idea. So like something like a bad buddy did. I didn't even see that.
Starting point is 00:16:16 What did you do? He did a residency in Puerto Rico where all the fans come. He said this is on some shit. Yeah, no. Make some other fucking noise about money. Yeah. Everybody got to come to Puerto Rico. He wouldn't do a show in the United States.
Starting point is 00:16:29 He still isn't. And now he's going on a world tour. He's going everywhere but the United States because he's afraid ICE is going to invade it. That's a good idea. Fuck ice, but that's a good idea. He said fuck ice. So describe people growing up in California.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Describe the scene. The scene of people growing up. No, no. The scene of people growing up. The coach, yeah, yeah. For a person who's never been to your neighborhood. What? So I was born in the 80s.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I guess you could say I grew up in the 90s. And at that time, like, let's just talk musically what inspired me. Like Dr. Dre, DJ Quig, Jay Dilla, Babyface. And then my dad, he was in this group called Lakeside, like a funk band. So he's put me on to all his music as well. Harlem and Funkadella, Prince. I could just name a whole bunch of people, Sly the Family Stone, rest of peace of slide.
Starting point is 00:17:31 He's bringing me on stage. He brought me on stage. He brought me on tours to shows, so I'm getting to see all this shit, and all of that is what makes my music today. Nate Dog, I fucking love Nate Dog. I never got to meet Nate Dog. Niggott.
Starting point is 00:17:47 In L.A., you sing right down. People like to categorize. People like to categorize. He's the niggins from L. deeper voice he's doing niggas hooks he's the new nade dog you know what I think we're complete different artists I think day dog is one of the greatest ever I wish I would have got to work with nade dog

Nah, and I didn't want to, like, do one of, like, too many song albums either. I just wanted to give you, like, all back-to-back bangers. Something for everybody, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:01 You got some slow R&B cuts, you got some club shit, you got some real-life, heartfelt shit, all that. And you said this is your last album on a major? No, no, no, no, no. I got this album, and I got one more album, you know, in my contract with Atlantic, and we could just take it from there. you know yeah but you're thinking you thinking um staying major i love major yeah yeah a major's been great to me right you know but i do have my own label now easy money
Starting point is 00:19:29 drakers and uh the first artist we put out is now the biggest r&b artists in the world his name is leon thomas okay and uh shout out to know and uh you know i could go my own route you know what we're gonna see with uh the guys you're talking about and and how it makes sense Have you ever put out an independent project? Just me? Yeah. Vultures. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Yeah. Independent. Wow. That's independent. I didn't know that. Yeah. Independent. Anyone number one.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Damn. So do the math. Ty. You get some money on you, bro. Who distributed? It had to be a distributor, though, right? Yeah. We had create, which I just did a deal with easy money for.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Okay. And we also had two lost. okay yeah who's that uh some dudes with some money that
Starting point is 00:20:27 that's hard that's hard that's hard that's hard that made a great deal that niggas that's all but what made you get
Starting point is 00:20:35 in the music and you got a family member dad mom I think uh I didn't I think I I just love music
Starting point is 00:20:44 man from picking it up from my pops okay uh you could say that but it's just something that I love because
Starting point is 00:20:51 there's a lot of people that be around me that say they want to do music and say they love it or say they want to rap or sing and then they don't end up doing shit and then they end up blaming you. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:01 But then you meet a nigger like Leon who pulls up what is his shit done. And his whole plan and his whole shit and it's like even before easy money I had labels, I signed niggas, all that.
Starting point is 00:21:14 But this is the first time another person showed me in this, because it's before him like also must have shown me YG showed me. Niggas show me that they want to do it and follow through
Starting point is 00:21:23 but like So they bring a full package all you gotta do is yeah like let's go set it forget it would you like more performing
Starting point is 00:21:32 or making the record do I got to take a shot after I'm just like no no no we get there yeah performing and making the record I feel like all of that shit
Starting point is 00:21:42 goes together because like when you get a thought in your head of whatever a beat maybe or idea for the song a concept
Starting point is 00:21:50 you put that all together you fucking play it in the studio the engineer going crazy and whoever you invite going crazy bam that's one thing right then you put the shit out then you see it's doing good that's another thing
Starting point is 00:22:02 but then when you see all and people singing that shit back that's the payoff to me you know what I'm asking you to choose I can't choose I love that you don't have to it's like if I'm building a house and I fucking you know
Starting point is 00:22:16 the basement is just as important as the top yeah it is as the roof Yeah, yeah. That's no. So, yeah, what you're talking about? So let's say you're on stage and they sing in a chord back to you.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Where's the vibe back that you know it was more than just a success? Like you actually reached a soul. Like, is that how you feel when you listening to them? Yeah, but it'd be more like one-on-one conversations. Like when I first, when I first met Jay Cole, when he was at the, whatever that second million man March was, in DC. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And he came up to me and he was like, yo, man, that one song, what was it called? I forgot what song? One of my songs, bro. He was like, yo, that shit was like life changing. That shit was crazy. And by him saying it, it was like, oh, because to me, he's like a real idea. He's a real guy. I think about it.
Starting point is 00:23:12 So he's listening more than just writing. He's the artist. Or when a man comes up and tells you your music got them through this. Oh, yeah. For me, it was like when my parents broke up and I had to go through that. Like, my dad leaving, he slowly seeing things like crumble, like the motherfucking lights coming off one day. Her figuring that out, it coming back on the goddamn water going off to where the water went off, but the gas was still on. So I took a big-ass bucket, went next door to my neighbors in the alley, filled up the bucket with the waterhole. She came back, I mean,
Starting point is 00:23:49 came back she put that shit on the pot heated the shit up niggas took a bath that type of shit you feel me and what age was that i was talking to puck okay like all his underground shit like that didn't come out on dsps 902 93 no no no no no no like 97 98 yeah yeah probably like 97 though right right and uh listening to that shit got me through that time just so i know what it means i know what somebody's saying when they say yo they that shit really got me through there, you know what I'm doing? Right. Now, look, I know we touched on it earlier,
Starting point is 00:24:25 but I just want to talk on the fact that there's classic collab albums, right? Yeah. You got Watch the Thrones. You got, uh, what was Jay Z and R. Kelly shit? I don't remember. Best of both worlds. And it's actually when two tycoons collide, right? And they make this, uh, this material that they become one.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Like, did you feel that y'all accomplished that with Voltures 1 and Voltures 2? Yeah, for sure, we fucking killed that shit. Of course, a lot of niggas tried to dumb it down because of obviously the shit bro was doing to make certain people hate. But I feel like our shit was the best shit out for sure. Right. Do you feel like that it did suffer because of, like, you know, the semantics? I mean, you could say it could have been bigger. We could be like, coulda, should or would have been ass niggies.
Starting point is 00:25:19 but I'm not going to be that. It's like, I feel like it did what it was supposed to do. The people that were supposed to enjoy it, enjoyed it. Right. And now we're here, you know what I'm saying? You got to use everything for a learning experience and not dwell on the negative parts, you know what I'm saying?

The rich Russians falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Olegarch Season 2.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, to window clumsiness and so. suicide by decapitation.
Starting point is 00:28:18 One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilised to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Olegac on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Whenever I got through the window,
Starting point is 00:28:49 I tried to pick him up and his body was stiff. I'm Ben Westoff, and this is The Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri University and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide, just weeks apart, in shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grosheim.
Starting point is 00:29:19 I laid him down and proceeded, I tilted his head back, and proceeded to give him mouth and mouth in CPR. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt. But when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Grosheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky? Or was something much darker at play? Listen to the peacemakers.

It went from like, Sahai said this shit in an interview. Sa'ha to print. Yeah. He was like, it was like music back in the day used to be the rap nigger and the street nigga will perform it. And now it's like the street nigger got jealous of the rap nigga and they want to rap. And like a whole bunch of that happened.

You got to have tough skin for this certain business. You know what I'm saying? There's going to be a lot of fuck shit that comes at you. One of the craziest things that I've learned is the one thing about fame when you walk into a room, everybody know who the fuck you are.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And again, you don't know who nobody is. Word. What could happen? You don't know what some of the niggas mind. You feel me? So that's the only fucked up part, like the most fucked up part. Right. But, yeah, there's other fucked up parts.

Starting point is 00:38:21 You keep on saying we're going to do it and we ain't did it yet. Oh, yeah. Can't wait to hear that. Yeah. Let's go, Al. How about Farrell? You know, Ferrell's been on a lot of my albums and shit. Oh, love for real, one of the greatest.
Starting point is 00:38:36 For real, man. One thing about for real. When you asked to get in the studio with this nigga, man, he'd be like, all right, cool. 7 a.m. Oh, yeah. I think you got that for me. I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 00:38:48 For real? Yeah, yeah. I'm a 4 a.m. Did you start at 7 or you start at 4? Yeah, I'll wait about 10 a.m. And be out of the studio by, like, 2.000. Yeah, yeah. Me and him get along perfect.
Starting point is 00:39:00 That's our new life, though. That's our new life. When I did Udon Moss, we recorded at 7 a.m. in California time. I usually call like early studio times like pop hours, because usually when you work with a pop artist and shit, they want to work early. I'm a pop artist. His shit is for real hours.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Did you just call me a pop artist in my face? I guess. That's a compliment for me. I mean, you know, I've seen one of my favorite artists, right? can't name the name, right? But I went to his show. Why you can't name the name? Oh, because the story is not the best, right?
Starting point is 00:39:42 And I saw him rocked the show, man. I'm sitting there, I'm walking there. I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there. You know, I snuck in. And I see him get off stage. Who, the kills are puff? No, no, no. And when he got on stage.
Starting point is 00:39:59 It must have been, David. I'm trying to. He went from, like, And as soon as he got off stage, like his frown went upside down. Like he went straight into like, and I can tell like he had to be there. This wasn't something that he wanted to do, right? So it comes to a time like in every artist career where it's like maybe you have to pay the bills. Maybe you have to all.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Maybe you just don't, didn't want to be there. You just, this is something you have to do, right? Have you ever been there where it's like you didn't want to be there at this place and you, you just, You just had to. You got paid already. You got paid for the song or something, or you got paid for the performance, and you didn't want to be there. Have you ever had one of those moments? A gang of them, brother.

Starting point is 00:55:46 or wherever you get your podcasts. The rich Russians falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Olegarch Season 2. Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning,
Starting point is 00:56:12 and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilised to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out.
Starting point is 00:56:36 As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Whenever I got through the window, I tried to pick him up and his body was stiff. I'm Ben Westoff, and this is The Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri University and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers. died by suicide, just weeks apart, in shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down, and proceeded I tilted his head back,
Starting point is 00:57:23 and proceeded to get the mouth and mouth in CPR. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt. But when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Grossheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky? or was something much darker at play. Listen to The Peacemaker podcast on the IHeart Radio app,
Starting point is 00:57:48 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You ever wrote a song? Not for yourself. What's the biggest song you ever wrote? Not for yourself for someone else that came out. Uh, loyal by Chris Brown. Wow. That was a bomb. Yeah. That was a bomb.
Starting point is 00:58:13 You wrote this song. Yeah, I wrote that song. He wrote some shit on here, too, I think, like on the second verse. He changed one of the lines. Loyal. On the first verse at the end. Little seepoo yada rappas. At first, I said, she wanted me at all the rappers.
Starting point is 00:58:32 She wanted me Bobby Brackens, because I wrote it for the homie Bobby Brackens. I was like, it was me, and he was supposed to do his verse. And then he never did his verse. And then, I guess, Nicknack, the producer, got it to Chris. Chris recorded that joint right before he ended up catching that case in jail. Then that song came out and that, like, lasted while he was in jail. And then after. So shout out to Chris, man.
Starting point is 00:58:57 He doesn't always look out for me. That's a big strong. I love Chris. I would have never known that. Chris been on every album. He fucking, he was on Vultures. He was just on Leon's remix, man. I love Chris.
Starting point is 00:59:09 I would do anything for that man. Is he going to be on Tycoon? He's not currently on Tycoon, but I would love for us to catch a record.

I mean, when he gave me that beat, I already knew it. And I was like, wow, this motherfucker, bro.

Starting point is 01:02:28 And putting that with the, the mustard shit. That was just so genius. And I always loved, like, that style of house music. so when he did that, I was like, God damn, nigga. Right. And that was the third song I wrote on that beat. Sometimes I'll take my time with beats that I just know are going to be it. And that was the third song I did in automatic, like the feeling it gave me,
Starting point is 01:02:49 y'all might think I'm weird for this, but it felt like the same feeling I got when I heard BBD poison. Oh shit. It was like hard, it was like a beat that's like that energy of like it could be in a club, But it's R&B melodies on it, and it's still cool. It still make you feel cool as a nigga.

Starting point is 01:30:01 You know I reached out to have people I reached out to a couple of meetings. And one person in particular, I said, they said, tied down a size Haitian, I said, that's really Asian, man. You talk about it. I ain't Haitian, bro.
Starting point is 01:30:20 Yeah, no, no, I had to Google it, and it was bullshit because it said, half French. Are you half French? I'm not half French, man. You are not. It's the thing I got Google. No, no, no, no. I had to go to Google.
Starting point is 01:30:34 I'm English. And the Google said that. Go to Google. That's chat. That's chat. That's chat. That's chat. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:42 That's what I'm saying. I'm English, but I know a couple of French words. And he knows what I'm talking about. I didn't make this shit up. That means suck my dick. Oh, my shit. Oh, my shit. So you are not half French.
Starting point is 01:30:56 No, no, no. The Zos are claiming. He's Haitian. He just thinks everybody's Haitian. Shout out to the Zos, man. It's not me, man. And he got, you know, him and Yacht, they're going to do good music, but I'm just saying. Just because he got a record with Kodak Black, he's doing he a year-ha-tized-ha-ha-ha-ta-ha-ha-ta-to-H-Range.
Starting point is 01:31:15 He knows what I'm talking about. Half-French, they got him down at. And we talked about All-In already, right? Or didn't we? Because, you know, we talked about the one with Kodak Black and YG, we didn't talk about, because we talked about the sample off-camera. Yeah. So let's get to that. What is that sample?
Starting point is 01:31:33 What sample? The sample. With your other single, was it All In? All In, I got to look up to the original rhythm. Lumi D. Sam, right? Yeah, Loomy D had that rhythm. Wayne Wonder had that rhythm. Sean Paul had that rhythm.
Starting point is 01:31:47 Oh. Everybody had that rhythm. Like how you said, the rhythm, you know, yeah. All right, cool. So, shout out to the original, what's his name, bro? I hate being, can we look out what rhythm that comes from? Yeah, come up, go ahead, look it up. But, obviously, he had one of the.
Starting point is 01:32:04 best rhythms ever. Mad Jamaica and I always loved that one. Huh? Lanky. That's the original? Yeah, so shout out to Lanky or Lakey, how do you pronounce it?
Starting point is 01:32:16 Lanky? Let's double check. D-Wali? The D-Wali rhythm. So that's where it all comes from. And I had, shout out to my lawyer. She knew some guys in Europe that
Starting point is 01:32:29 replayed it, so it's not even the sample. Wow. That's dope. And that's that. So how's that go? If you replay it, you don't have to, you don't have to pick. And it's an interpolation is no longer a sample. You didn't use the master.
Starting point is 01:32:42 So therefore, you just, you know, cut them in. Even you just cut them in. Right. Cut them on the publishing. You have to still compensate them, you say. Yeah, you cut them in on the publishing. We're all a part of the record. We're all writers on the record.
Starting point is 01:32:56 Wow. Yeah. As opposed to when you sample it, most times people want 100% of the publishing. Yeah, there's certain other people own the master. It just gets worse. You have to pay more people. So it's better to re-play it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:09 You hear that artist? Yeah, learn how to use your instruments and your equipment. You know what I'm saying? No, if they're playing it anyway, have you brought that on to your live show? Yeah, I always bring live instruments. I definitely play every live instrument. I know all the dope-ass musicians, and we will always incorporate live music when it comes to a Todd Dollar Sun record. You prefer?
Starting point is 01:33:33 Are you like that? I prefer live. I prefer reality. I prefer real. You know what I'm saying? It's nice to go to booby trap and look at a BBL, but in my in-house pussy, I like it to be, like, natural. That's right. I like the way to.
Starting point is 01:33:49 Are you into the, like, you perform every record, like, you want to be on the mic, or will you do a little lip-sicking like Millie Vanilli? Because that's cool, too. Millie Vanilla. You know, whoever does whatever they want to do. Listen, listen, listen. You know, I've seen certain people where, you know, they'll have the mic off, I mean, the mic off and just do shows like that. And it's only acceptable to me if you're doing lots of dancing
Starting point is 01:34:20 and then you cut in and then come back to your vocal. I've even seen, like, Beyonce doing that, do that. I agree with. And Chris do that. And, like, sometimes I have a backing track. and I'll let that go but then I'll hit a run that's not even on the track
Starting point is 01:34:34 and you'll see that I can sing my ass off certain times I use auto tune auto tune is just for an effect it's not like I depend on auto tune it's just an effect. On stage? Yeah, on stage. It's an effect. I use my same fucking chain
Starting point is 01:34:49 wherever I go. You know what I'm saying? Certain times I'll cut that shit off and just go in. A nigga could do his thing. So what? But we have effects that people love and that's the song and that's why we use effects. So anybody that ever tried to say that shit, eat a fat one.

Starting point is 01:37:05 Listen to the Trabner's podcast from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The Rich Russians Falling Out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Olegarch Season 2. Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious
Starting point is 01:37:37 heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state-controlled media in Russia is being utilised to purpose confused and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Whenever I got through the window, I tried to pick him up and his body was stiff.
Starting point is 01:38:17 I'm Ben Westoff and this is The Peacemaker, a true crime podcast investigating a string of mysterious deaths at a prestigious Missouri University and the fraternity brother at the center of it all. A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide, just weeks apart, in shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down and proceeded. I tilted his head back and proceeded to get him mouth and up in CPR. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt. But when three more acquaintances died the following year, the tide. The tide turned. The lawsuit says Grossheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky? Or was something much darker at play? Listen to the Peacemaker
Starting point is 01:39:09 podcast on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Let me ask you. So God comes down to earth, right? He comes out. He spoke a dream with you. He We say, Ty, you got, I'm going to give you one producer and one feature. And this record that you're going to make is going to change humanity. Who is you getting it as the producer and who is you getting it as the feature? Well, if we look at songs in my lifetime that changed humanity, And I would just, like, do that again. Oh, should we come new?

Starting point is 01:40:30 He's like his whole style was like Every record is that Every record is like To change lives Every record What you said Bob Marley That's the feature

No, the labels love it because that's how they can keep you longer. Because it doesn't count as an actual album. Hello. Oh.
Starting point is 01:58:18 I'll figure that out later. It's like when you think about it and I signed in 2012 and my deal was five albums. and I'm only on my fourth with Tycoon but look about all the music that I put out all this time you know what I'm saying

A few years back, two fraternity brothers died by suicide, just weeks apart, in shockingly similar ways. Both were discovered by the same student, Brandon Grossheim. I laid him down, and proceeded I tilted his head back, and proceeded to get him mouth and mouth in CPR. At first, people gave Brandon the benefit of the doubt, but when three more acquaintances
Starting point is 02:02:50 died the following year, the tide turned. The lawsuit says Grossheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky?

Starting point is 02:17:18 But you embrace that type of love. It's not like creeps. It's not like. Yeah, it wasn't no creepy shit. It was like love, but just like they do it and they type of way. Like, nigga be coming to your daughter, show some love. Like, thank you for coming to our city. And, you know, that was like one of my favorite performances I ever.
Starting point is 02:17:35 did. Brazil was crazy. Australia, that's one of the funnest times we ever had. Brazil, dog. Brazil changed my life. The way that I've done it? Yeah. Brazil changed my life. I love Brazil, man. Um, what else? What y'all was there with? The European shows are always great.
Starting point is 02:18:02 Fucking New York shows are always great. Chicago shows are always great. Miami shows are always great. Everywhere down south, fucking, where else, man? All my Vegas shows he lit. Everywhere, man. I appreciate everyone. Japan, bro.
Starting point is 02:18:19 I name Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. Is it the best? It's the best because, of course, they've been here with me from the beginning, bro. I feel like they know the songs that other niggas might not know the less popular songs. We could just do beat. We could just do beach house front-to-back show, which I should do.
Starting point is 02:18:37 I should do like a beach house front-to-back or a free T-C front-to-back only those songs show. So, fuck it. I might announce that soon, you know, in L.A. There you go. You've seen the Bob Marley movie, right? I love that movie. You remember at one point he flips on his manager because he says, it doesn't matter. Like, whenever Africa calls, like, it doesn't matter the money.
Starting point is 02:18:59 Like, he'll take a pay cut, whatever. but he just, every time he gets offered a show in Africa, he would always take it. Now, I'm like that. I didn't know other people who was like that. When I saw the movie, I was like, holy shit, Bob Marley bit my shit. You know, in my mind, I know I bit Bob Marley. But what I'm saying, my place is is Puerto Rico,
Starting point is 02:19:18 whenever Puerto Rico calls, I work with them. Like, it doesn't matter. If I call this... Now, I was just telling somebody, you're the first nigga to ever bring reggae to him. You know that? You know that? I know that. But bonds is...
Starting point is 02:19:31 People like to forget, right? I notice with this new generation, they like to do that and be like, oh, no, I started this. I'm a bad money show we love. So, fuck you know. Like, man, they're going to. All right. So, what mine's is Puerto Rico and New York. Like, if it's reasonable, whenever it's in New York, I have to, that's my home, that's my home, I do it.
Starting point is 02:19:51 And Puerto Rico. I don't know where I'm from in Africa, and I've never really had the opportunity. It's there, especially places for you, like, if someone calls, and it's not your quote, but you enjoy being there or the people always show you love it is there first of all in my city I always take a pay cut okay and uh home town really it just be for certain things
Starting point is 02:20:12 bro different different things different shit it's just like when it comes to features I don't be charging niggas from L.A. I don't be charging like niggas that I know that really ain't got it right if I love the song I'm gonna do it if it's like if I don't know you right yeah of course I'm a charge you
Starting point is 02:20:27 of course I'm like that's just how it goes and the same thing goes for shows, you know what I'm saying? If it makes sense, I'll take a pay cut, you know what I'm saying? And I always tell that to other people. It's like, I got to take the pay cut, but then everybody else wants their same money. Right. It'd be crazy.
Starting point is 02:20:43 Yeah, because Miami, they do what that shit to you too, like, Miami. But that's why I'm a tycoon. But that's why I'm a tycoon. Yeah, Miami is fine. I got, I got to call you back, but I just bled your stupid ass on drink chance for fucking putting me through this little. Shit, with your nasty-ass clippers or wherever the fuck you're using.
