Each episode, I'll be asking eight wide-tail hunting pros, a focused, thought-provoking question about hunting and land management.

What's the guy named Khalid? His name is Khalid the singer. Oh, yeah. I went to a show. It was sold out. Madison Square gone, went with my daughter. Next day, he sent me a song to get on. I got on it.

He was honest enough to call me back and be like, yo, my label said, you're too old to be on a song with me. You know, I'm sorry about that. just wanted you to hear it from me and this and that. And I was just that 10 years ago. So I'm looking at it. That's just how fuck niggas just, fuck your vibe up. You know, they always got something saying.

I swear to you all. 10 years ago? 10 years ago, they was like, yo, they told him, yo, you young, you're the new, whatever. Who gives a fuck? It's just, I'm talking about the fuck shit that go on in the industry. In the industry rooms. So in the industry rooms, you know, they always play.

I've been in so many industry, so many meetings where you've got 12 guys. Somebody plays the song and everybody's like, yo, it's always dope. And it's just one. Just one. One guy or one girl would be like, I don't know if. Then it turned into four, six, ten. So everybody like bandwagoned that person. Yeah, because, listen, guys, yeah, I'll take this shit right now because people watch the show to learn.

Yeah. Listen, guys, if God graces you with the opportunity to get a job where if your life is A and on, if your life is videos, movies, whatever, or whatever, to change the world to be in position. You know how many people I've seen in a position of power in this. industry and never pulled the trigger once. This is the president of, let's say, anything, capital records, right? And the man don't sign nobody in three years or four years or make no moves. Like when you're coming up in the game as an executive, right, you finally get in position and then you get gunshot.

They get scared to make certain moves. You could be the hardest artist in the world. and they scared to pull the trigger. Do me a favor. If you ever get to a place of that importance or excellence, what are you scared of? If you're the A&R

and the girl's popping, make a land at her show in a pink helicopter. Blow the bag. Invest in yourself. Blow the bag. I like that. I like that.

This is the only game for real? Huh? It's the only game. game where they don't believe in you until you prove yourself and then you're supposed to do business with these same niggins that didn't believe in me like I don't get this shit I'd be like fuck these no no then they get in the middle of your album is say saying like this or you some did you did you see that producer yeah yeah did they start fucking with your shit like they're somebody like they ever did something not you're going to get to that

like they're the culture I'm just telling you in the normal In the normal rap game, that's what they do. All of a sudden, somebody wanted to tell you, you know, we'll talk about something uncomfortable, right? Really uncomfortable. But for all the shit Kanye West was saying and all that, and I don't agree with hate and nothing like that. The one part I heard in his one rant that made him like, you know, he said, I'm making

this company. hundreds of million, billion dollars, and they got a guy that makes $60,000 a year trying to tell me what to do. So A&R, so y'all can understand how wild this sounds to y'all. Some artists is getting $150,000 a show on the regular, coming up in there, and you're a $5 dude trying to tell me what the fuck to do.

We're not seeing life the same way. we're not in the same lane we don't look at life the same way so how are you going to tell me what beat I should I'm on what should I say what shouldn't I say and that's where that whole shit come and then in our time and I've seen

somebody say sometimes I really respect what he say but he said that the A&R should be a superstar because they'll get bro rappers are rappers they're the superstars they're the artists

you know when you got dudes in the record company thinking that they got to be bigger than the artist you know like probably pop more bottles than the artist and go up in there and act like they somebody and all that yo bro just get the job job done

at the end of the day the success your success speaks for you your success speaks to you the more successful you are the more revenge you get the more you know what I'm saying

And so people don't know how to not get in their own way and they just got too much to say. I guess that's what's going on, man. I'm sad. Just made me sad. No, I'm keeping it real. You know we all dealt with that.

The game is all with the game. This is one of the most discouraging games. Yeah, now that's a fact. You know what I mean? Because where we come from is the money ain't right. His hands and feet. You can't do that. Yeah, that makes you more steaming because now it's like somebody that I know in real life

would never be able to do this to me. It's sitting behind this desk telling me what the fuck they do. I want to grab his throat and I can't. And then that causes some other shit. Man. So it makes you stronger. It's nasty, man. The game is filthy.

Let me tell you something. I've got a story. for you. Another one? No, this is a big... You don't want me to tell this? Yeah, I'm just... I'm dropping gems right now.

That's what I'm here for. Yeah. This stove gone 101, but I'm just telling you what happened to me. Yeah. Right? So one day I'm in my...

Two, three lawyers ago and shit. I'm in the office. He used to... He used to be Ferell's lawyer. He used to be ludicrous's lawyer. The Wootz... Anybody who was big

was with him. So I walk up in the lawyer's office, and they pop in champagne. And ludicrous tells me, yo, I just signed this deal for like $2 million. Because believe it or not, I know you younger than us. There was a time ringtones didn't exist. So if your phone rang, it was just the ring. So they invented the ringtone. But the contracts in all of the record labels did not have that in the writing because it did not exist. Like AI wasn't like it was five years ago now.

So in the contracts, they fucked up. They didn't have ownership of your ringtone. Ludacris understood that. As fucking smart as he is, I just seen him on a yacht jogging on the treadmill on the fucking Costa Rica somewhere. He's jogging on the butt.

He's really smart. He tells me, Joe, there's this thing. He breaks it down to me. You know, Joe's the thing. Mean retails. I just got two million this. It's that cool. I go to Atlantic Records.

I'm going to say the name. I go to Atlantic Records where I was signed. And I'm supposed to do press or some shit like that. So some girl comes down. She's their assistant to the president. Should I say his name or I could get sued for sending this story? Oh, yeah. You don't have to say it.

You said Atlantic. Just leave it at that. So the boss sends their assistant there. She says, yo, the man upstairs that's sign right here. I said, I'm not thinking nothing ever. I said, yo, tell him, Mandy, you know, you know my lawyer, just send it to him, no problem.

They never, ever in their life, ever did any type of legal work with me and not go to the lawyer. Never in the history, but I don't know. I ain't thinking about it. So he comes back down, they come back down. He comes down. He got a thousand workers. So everybody's scared of their job.

So he comes down and says, yo, Joe, you know, there's some shit that we need you to sign there's a thing called ringtones and um and we own it and this and there I said my man suck my dick the whole office looked at me

like huh everybody was looking I said you can suck my dick my nigga Frankston your bro the man listen you just said right now

you started this whole story you just said you was talking for the last three hours I didn't say shit. You said there's guys that will play behind the desk the games that they'll get hung for on the streets. Yeah, that's true. If they did this, they'd be dead.

That's a fact. This guy just told me, hey, there's some core ringtones who I got love for, ludicrous. I just got two million. They was popping champagne 20 minutes before I get in there. The dude trying to scam me in to sign my rights away. For something I know, this man just got two million. I got no choice

but to tell him to suck my dick in front of his whole workers everybody get the fuck up out of you before you get a foot up your ass nigga, fuck out of you the whole office is looking like oh my God shit like the wild wow

way they're ready to scratch they're ready to snatch their wings hats every day motherfucker right but listen he go up

then Leo Cohen comes down who's the chairman of Warner Brothers Joe we feel like this is the right of the label and this and he even told me some shit and I ain't trying to throw you under the bus

Leo because I got too much love and respect for everything you're actually not in this equation but Leo says yo I met with all the enemies Republican Democrat Independent we all met and we all agree that we own these ringtones

so we're going to do this to all the artists and change all the contracts. I said, Leo, I have so much respect for you, brother.

Well, you know, I just left my lawyer's office and ludicrous just did a $2 million deal.

This is what you asking me to do. You're like trying to scam me out of my rights. So, well, if you don't sign

it, you know, the bottom line, at the end of the day, I stuck the niggas up for M's. And they made me

sign a contract that said, don't tell no other artists, we gave you the money. But I was like, yo, I need M's. I need

you're not doing that to me, so they made me sign the paper, and I guess I couldn't get sued. I mean, I guess what I signed was the NDA or something 20-something years ago they said, yo, Joe, don't tell nobody. I knew y'all stole my shit. Oh, no, they stole your shit.

I think all artists can go back in time after this gem, stove guard 101, and look up, did they have the right of your shit back then. You're going to get one of them boss over the head. You're going to get one of the executives boss over

the head for that. Because I don't take that. You know, I've played with refrigerators and sinks and all. I play with kitchen. We got stove guard cooks here. I play with kitchen applies, microwaves and shit like that, man. Air fryers and all that off the roof.

Your air fryers make a mean chicken wing. Yo, you know, air. Air friars make a mean shit. You would never believe the air fire makes some wings and better than the fucking ghetto Chinese. I'm telling you.

Going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of their life. That was my dad, reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that are trauma is not our shame to carry, and that we have big, bold, and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us.
