But now, when you think of today's guests,

you think of somebody who came in with his group,
made a hell of an impact with the group.
Knocked them out the park.
Knocked them out the park.
Shout out the Mike Will.
They knocked them.
They came in and I say hit a few grand slams.
You know what I mean?
Never compromised, though.
stay silent every time you see them
with the group, without the group,
always love, always got that good energy.
Transitioned to a solo artist.
Hit even more out the park.
You know what I mean?
His bat paws.
He couldn't strike out.
There's no such thing.
Anything he touched.
Rock star.
Anything he touched, just light up.
You know what I mean?
I think I even see.
seen him on a helicopter playing a video game.
The shit was the illest shit I ever seen.
He was in the airplane.
You don't make it all kind of history.
You know what I mean?
Now he's about to do it again.
He felt like, you know what I mean?
He looked at the ball.
He looked at the rafters.
It felt like putting some more home runs in there.
So he's going to do it again.
When you think a drip, when you think of ice,
when you think of somebody who just does
whatever the fuck he wants and it looks,
it looks like he's having fun doing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise for my brother, Swah Lee.
What up, what up, what up, what up, what up.
What's heading, what's happening?
What's heading?

Thank you all for having me for real.

You look like you on that Hubonic chronic.
Oh, no, sober, sober living.
You got the squeeze place.
Soba?
Sober living, man.
You just got that in.
He just looked like he out.
It's a different kind of energy.
Oh, shit.
I take a shot, though.
You know what I'm saying?
My brother.
1800, y'all, double-time, two-time of felon.
Two-time of felon.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We got to do nothing.
Don't wait a minute.
You don't got to do nothing.

Number four, I take care of others.
I notice when I go home and watch the show, you try to get me smack.
You're, it's shit, and you talk about I'm shooting at you.
You try to make them slide me a lick.
You're much more fun on 1800.

And I drink, I might get us in trouble.
Oh, big job.

Damn, the flag on the plate.
No, it's 1800 to white shit.
He got the clear one.
If I drink that shit, y'all be carrying me out of this shit.
He can't hit the rep all like that.
He ain't got hit the white.
Less car.
Less sugar for the thing, the pat.
Man.
Brother.
That's right.
Legendary leader of the news.
All the way up.
Well, I took my sipper ready.
How much y'all want me to drink?
Half the bottle.
Sheesh.
My fucking got me $1,800.
I don't get on that timing, man.
That's a quadruper shot.
My brother, how did you get discovered?
How do you get in the game?
Was it Mike Will?
I just see you come out of nowhere
just like Jada.
Jayda ain't exaggerating the line.
You just came out
and your shit was legendary.
So how did you get your start?
I grew up in Mississippi
and long story short,
my DJ was cousins with
Mike Will's producers,
the ear drummers.
So my homie's P.Nasty and Mars
they first got in touch with us
and they heard our music
that we was making from Mississippi.
So they told us, me, y'all come to Atlanta
and you guys work with us.
You know what I'm saying?
Just lock in with us.
see what comes from it.
So we was working at McDonald's
just doing what we could
get some money at the time.
So boom,
one of my homies,
he had a truck.
So we got down,
drove that shit from Mississippi
to Atlanta and just locked in
like a whole year in the basement
and just cooking up with Mike Will,
cooking up with the eardrumbers,
just creating a new sound.
And Mike Will would come over
and hear the songs,
he'd be like, yo,
my y'all boy, it's hard.
You know what I'm saying?
He always paid show mad love.
And then he had an idea for a group,
ear drummers backwards.
And he felt like
The sound, like, matched that name.
And we was like, shit.
That's hard, you know what I'm saying?
So, boom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's how I'm saying.
That's how it happened.
Me and Brosky.
You know what's crazy is it's good to have money.
Yeah.
Right?
And success.
But it was nothing more priceless than that time
when you was in the basement,
creating that music and all like,
you know, I met Bryce and Tiller.
And my man, Richard Barber's house.
He used to live in Rich the Barbic sauce.
He was making that whole first album
in his kitchen.
Damn.
So I got to see that product.
Of course, he got the big mansion now.
He can't fuck up.
But it was, you know, that's a priceless time
when you, when you're there learning the ropes
and you coming up with these hits
and you coming up with that sound and, you know,
and dreaming.
So after that year, you put out this music
and then the next thing you know, you explode.
How did that feel?
making a transition from nobody knowing you
to now you're the biggest shit in the game.
Man, it was crazy
because, like, when we lived in Atlanta,
it's like some of these clubs, you know what I'm saying?
They turned us around.
So many people told us now, we can't even play this,
you know what I'm saying?
But we're on foot with it, you know?
So we're working every club.
We're screaming our shit loud in the streets,
you know what I'm saying?
We're handing out CDs, everything.
So the turnaround was crazy.
Like the same clubs that were turning us around,
same spots that were turned us around.
They like, they welcome us with open arms.
Yeah, booking us.
sending bags, so it's like, damn,
shit crazy. It was crazy. Why Fenn Lucci was here, and he forgot.
But I remember one night, I come out the club,
he's performing on top of the car.
His song, and they was like, yo, that's YFN.
I mean, Atlanta got a different type of grind.
Like, one fuck is going to do what they got to do.
He told me he didn't remember that.
But I remember watching YFN Lucci on top of a fucking car
performing his song outside the club.
I said, man, that's a man, that one.
fucking grinding.
The hunger to come up for sure.
Super hungry doing whatever.
That's really nuts because that's the way
I didn't think your era,
y'all was doing that.
That's how we came up like giving the vinyl
to the DJs and going to every club.
The truth is,
you got to get on foot with it.
You can't really, yeah, you can't be successful
just standing in the corner
sitting on your couch.
Yeah, yeah.
You got to, like, come on, two times.
That's who we're supposed to.
Let me tell you something.
Thank you, brother.
But you can't be, you know, and you can't say my daughter.
My daughter got a little podcast.
Shout out to Azzie as if.
And she's making, he's saying she's doing shit.
Yeah.
But she's doing shit because she's out there and everybody's face and working
and doing whatever she can do.
On the front line, yeah.
Yeah.
Networking and getting the relationship.
So every time she comes out with a new breakthrough, I'm like, yeah, but she got to be out.
She laid the brick.
Nobody's going to be able to give you that success
or get you to where you going
without you out there grinding,
putting in that work.
It's just the way it is.
I think if I put out a new record,
I got to do the same shit.
Now, 2026, like pull up on the club
and be like, yo, play this shit.
Yo, this and this and that.
I mean, it's always been where it's at.
It's always been where you get the best success.
Best reaction, yeah.
The best reaction, bro.
New single.
Don't even call featuring Rich the Kid.
Shout out to Rich the kid.
Shout out Rich.
How did that happen?
How did this song happen?
How did the division come before?
What made you make it the lead sing?
What is here about?
Yeah, see, boom.
I live in Miami shit right now.
So that song, like, I gave it to a couple of DJs.
It ended up, like, blowing up crazy in Miami.
So all the girls know it in Miami and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I always see Rich the Kid.
out there. He live out there. So boom, we always
cross paths. I mean my, I mean my
Rose Royce, nigga, me in his G wagon, sitting up
50 feet. We always see each

that, he got that bribeys kick. It's like 350,

Traffic's too crazy,
but, you know,
I'm from here.
So where would you say
you're more from?
A.T.
Or Mississippi?
Definitely Mississippi.
Yeah, I'm from.
I know the DNA in New York City.
It's hard for motherfuckers,
man.
It's too much jealousy when I come down the block
in that Rooms Royce.
It's just hard.
man.
Motherfucking cross in the street.
You see that shit in their eyes and all that.
That shit, I might have drove it one time in New York City.
Like, a year.
That shit just sitting there for no reason.
It's just, I can't even get to wait.
As fast as I pull that bitch out, the faster on the day like today that's nice.
That shit be back in the fucking garage.
Yeah, you're going to go five minutes.
It's like, niggas, they just can't.
They can't parolite.
They can't take that shit.
They face me like, you just.
They disgust me.
That's, I'm telling you, nobody, you can't take that here.
Here in Miami, you go to Carbone anywhere, 72 roads.
Oh, yeah, for sure, for sure.
It should look like a skateboard out there.
So many motherfuckers got them shit.
Over here?
Good luck.
I'm telling you, good luck.
I drove through the same blocks.
I always drove through it, bro.
motherfuckers be like, yo crap, what up, yo.
You come down with that big body,
motherfuckers be like,
that shit's turning heads.
They just tight.
They hate you.
You know, I come up in the era weird.
That's motivation.
So I used to see the guys who used to hustle or sell,
or own number spots and this, this, that,
or see a motherfucker fly.
You see a motherfucker in your hood from my outcome.
It was horrible.
Like, nobody was fly.
If one motherfucker was fly,
We used to look at him like, yeah, you know,
him motherfuck of a fucking fly.
One day I was going to be a little V-bomber.
I'm going to get me a little something.
And, you know, we always took it as inspiration.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Now I don't know where that switchoff is now.
It's looked like they almost assumed you rubbing it in their face
that you're successful.
They take it another way now.
Before it used to be like inspiration.
Yeah.
Miami don't get me a start.
Everybody got much.
I don't know what it's some fake shit.
It's like,
it's everybody rich.
Like, I live there for 23 years.
It's like everywhere I go is fucking,
they got ballet and Walgreens.
Oh, God.
Mawndonka, Miami.
One of the biggest crooks in the world is the ballet.
They got ballet and CBS.
Mawfucker, you go to CBS.
They're collecting.
Some Tylenol, they'll be like,
yo, valet the car beat.
You be like, what?
Ballet.
You need cash in Miami to tip all these valet
motherfucker.

That's so fat.
And they're going to change the price to
AC.
You put up in that Rose Royce,
it's automatically a hundred.
Yeah.
It's automatically.
I had this one Mexican
who ran all the clubs.
He was the ballet of all the,
he was the boss.
It's my fucking man.
Yeah, in the prime time.
When we in the club,
seven days a week,
my man ran the whole shit,
so I'll come,
yo, pop, hey!
You take, bleed the shit.
Man, one day they deported that
nigger, nigga,
nigger said,
new boss.
Yeah.

I used to pay,
this nigga $50 for like 10, 15 years.
They couldn't wait for new boss.
They were like, he bought it, Poppy.
Bobby, your man.

Gong, new boss, 100.
Up front, Goddaw.
I said, damn, me couldn't wait to tell me that shit.
Get them, niggas.
Yeah, that's the way.
Man, you got to be cool with everybody.
For real.
When you're dropping the whole project,

Yeah, I'm dropping a project.
Oh, wow.

No, they're all on my Friday.
Oh, they're from the Gianniacru.
I sampled on my last album, man.
She lucked out and let me clear the sample.
Janay?
Yeah, she hated the song, too.
She was like, yo, I hate the song, man.
You sound like a chip mom.
Oh.
Joe crack.
You know what I call a beautician, nail-polished lady,
the lady who do the eyes.
When I'm on you,

the fat guy's looking for you.
The fact guy's looking for you.
The fact guy, you get it.
You finally be like,
yo, ain't no way I can go.
This motherfucker looking for me.
She cleared it for me,
but she's legendary.
Who else?
You got French Montana?
Montana for show.
So everything good now
because I'm forgettable.
They say, you know,
there was a mix-up.
of communication.
I think what it was, like,
it looked one way on the internet,
but in real life, it's just,
it just wasn't the traditional way
you go about clearing a song,
you know what I'm saying?
But the outcome of the song
was everything we could imagine,
you know what I'm saying, everything we wanted.
So it was a lot going on at the time,
you know what I'm saying?
Mike Well, man,
it's work yourself out.
As rich as he is,
he still talk to himself
on the park bench about that song.
I mean, yeah,
because every time I get around,
he'd be like, yeah, man,
that was my song, man.
That shit.
I'm like,
Yo, Mike,
but yeah, Mike,
Mike,
he's standing on it.
He's standing on it,
for sure.
That's your man.
I said, yeah,
but you know,
I don't know
with the politics.
He's like,
yo man.
For real,
for real.
Yeah, Mike ain't,
playing by that shit,
for real.
He gonna go to the grave
with that one.
But that one I'm telling you.
Every time I see him that.
He didn't agree with how it happened.
But I get it
because it's like,
it was a long story,
you know what I'm saying?
It's kind of like some backdoor shit
but it's like seeing
the opportunity and season.
You know what I'm saying
Basically what it was
The best thing is that it came out
And the shit
It went like 20 million
A 10 million
Some wild shit
Right
Which so classic
Like real classic
Definitely connected with the people
And them shit's coming time

That's coming at a good time
For real
Wasn't nothing like that coming out

You're about to kick off a college tour.
Not a college store.
I was just doing a couple of stops.
Talking to the colleges, yeah, exactly.
So I went to some HBCUs.
I went to Morehouse and Spelman in Atlanta,
and I just left.
Talking to the colleges?
Yeah, just like a seminar,
letting them know what's going on, yeah, boom.
Wow, you're a great speaker, huh?
You're not scared?
I ain't scared, you know what I'm saying?
Basically just letting the music talk, you know what I'm saying?
Tell them the coolest thing they can do is be smart,
just motivating them, getting them ready,
putting them on the album, too, you know what I'm saying?
Just tapping in with the future and shit, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, that's dope.
Yeah, later I'm going to.

You know what's crazy is a lot of, you know, I've been doing this shit a minute, like interviewing
and all that.
And a lot of the youth, they don't really talk like that.
They don't really get out like that.
Biggest stars in the world when you start talking to them in, like, interviews, they
ain't got no fluidity.
They ain't got shit to say.
And you taking the bull by the horns going to the schools and talking to them, that's pretty
unique in this day and error.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I feel you, yeah, it's a lot
of mysterious, you know.
Mysterious is going on.
It costs too much to be fucking cucking.
No, thank you for letting me know, because I go home.
I look up my shit, my shit be looking all
crazy. It's like the hangar
still on that bitch.
Shit me up like that.
That shit fly.

Pigs on me like that.
Wow, since I seen the elephant skin.
And I went to the Webster in Bell Harbor and I walked in.
They had the purple elephant skin shit.
I was like, yo, I need this shit.
It's the elephant skin.
Like real elephant skin?
I don't know, but back on the thing.
I'm like, what's the numbers on that?

It's always for the upliftment.
It's never with the negative shit.
the Joe and Jada show, this shit winning

And in this world now,

It's so hard to be positive.
Was you and Rich

We got one in the works right now
We're just lining up dates on
But that's what another artist
But definitely one specific
For the same difference for sure
You know what I'm saying
And what could you say about the ups and downs
Of the music business
Because you know some days you're on top
Some days
You look warm
Yeah for me I just think like
Everybody had a time
You know what I'm saying
It's like a cycle
Like just go around
Everybody had a time
You know what I'm saying
Catch a moment
Keep it rocking
Go back to the drawing boards
just you'll be ready when they come back to you
you know what I'm saying like
don't get comfortable and just
yeah just wait for your time
for real for a lot
many artists have had to fight the adversity
you know you could
you can be on top of the world
oh yeah
come back your shit of eye
they're sleeping on you then you got to come back
with a frisbee
get the motherfuck
you got to stay on their ass for real
yeah that's you know that's
that's how I judge artists
personally
right like I've seen
some artists that I was like
I don't know if this person got it.
You know, I always say to make a hit record,
just one hit record is a miracle.
Because it can be a hit for you,
and you put it down,
it goes clean over the hits, for sure.
No, no, I'm just saying,
actually a one-hit wonder
is better than being on your couch
trying to make music for 20 years
and never having a hit.
One-hit wonder.
But imagine the guys that keep making those hits.
Those guys and girls are exceptional.
When I see that, that's when I go, all right.
This person trying to stick.
You know how many artists I've seen come?
And then when they come to second or third time with another one, I'd be like,
oh, they want to stick around.
My motherfuck of a stick to this.
That's how I felt about him.
Big pop of your teens.
He came in and put shit over there every time he got up.
I said, oh, I understand this way.
Oh, God, dug that foot in the ground.
He came in.
He came in some reality.
he came to...
I ain't kind of flavor,
sure.
He takes a real estate
in this
and the shoe.
Because you know
some people
they just passed

a cup of green tea

And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale,
or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think,
I'm bigger than this.
and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas
that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire
for more than 75 years.

I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars,
and now, I guess also as the co-host of the Away End,
a brand new world soccer podcast.
I'm Danielle Alarcon, a writer and journalist,
and John and I have known each other since we were kids.
My first World Cup was Mexico 86.
I was nine years old.
I watched every game and I fell in love.
On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football,
all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star
player on our high school soccer team.
Very debatable.
And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.
I love this game.
I love its history, it's hope, it's hard.
Heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty.
Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

I'm Daniel Jeremiah.
And I'm Greg Rosenthal.
And this is 40s and free agents.
The games may be over, but the NFL never stopped.
This is my favorite part of the calendar.
Yeah, mine too, Greg.
Free Agency, the Combine.
The NFL draft Pro Days trades.
This is where teams reshape their future.
This is where Daniel Jeremiah makes his money.
On 40s and free agents, we break down every move that actually matters.
From my draft evaluations, mock drafts, and team fits.
To my top 101 free agents and how real rosters are built,
cap space, contracts, and all the tough decisions included.
You got quarterbacks on the move?
We got teams rebuilding.
It's hope season.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's hope season.
We'll tell you what's real, what's noise.
and what it means for your favorite team.
Smart analysis, real conversations every week.
I don't know about the smart, but definitely analysis.

You know, so, John, you ever been to like a jazz joint?
Not saying jazz, but I've been to like little restaurants where a guy or girl,
they sing like Whitney Houston.
And you sitting there and you're wondering, yo, what happened?
Why this young lady ain't the biggest in the world?
Why this guy?
They ain't know the right people.
And it wasn't the moment.
And then people take getting on and making it for granted.
It's nothing.
Everybody can do it.
Everybody can do it.
Literally.
Yeah, there's different elements to it.
But what I do know is that people got to like you.
They got to like you.
I met so many times.
talented people that never succeeded.
And I can't give you the reason why,
because they write hits for everybody else.
Yeah.
I know, listen, who?
No, I can't do that.
I can't do that because it's not fair to them.
Put a name on.
But, no, I can't do that.
But that's still, if you write hits for people
and you get the, you're just doing your money and all that,
and you just want to be lit, I think you're,
bird for them.
Well, they all want to be lit.
So anybody who writes smash hits for everybody,
anybody.
Anybody talk.
Okay.
Would you rather write smash hits and receive what you're supposed to receive
or get the hits writ for you and be lit and be you?
Yeah.
No, I'm with you.
But what I'm saying to you is unfortunately, I watch.
People want to be lit.
Yeah, front line.
I watch guys who wrote albums for guys
that sold 10, 20 million with that album.
And they filthy rich, and then they try to do their own album.
And when you hear it, it's so fire, right?
And then you, like, damn, what is...
The face don't match, yeah.
The looks don't...
Like, Beyonce would have sung that.
If Usher would have sung that record,
if this on were the disc, like, you know,
they just finished coming from...
Yeah.
Giving out the biggest hits in the world.
Then they do their own album.
They're like, all right, it's time for my shit.
Can't blame them for wanting to be a star.
The album's incredible, too.
But they don't go.
They put that battery in their back.
You're a football star with a helmet on.
You're still a star.
Yeah, you don't see your face, but.
Yeah, he's still a star.
Yeah.
That's why he top five.
You know what I?
He's a star.
He's got that shit with him, you know what I'm still.
He just wanted to see.
You heard that shit, right?
You're a football.
He just wanted to.
He just wanted to.
They just want to be seen.
You just want to be seen.
They know it's you.
That's how I feel.
People got to like you.
That's just the bottom line.
That's how I feel about, and me,
I studied a game.
It took me a long time to understand that.
Like, I'm sitting there.
You know, I got friends that are writing
that can write big hits and they want to be artists.
And to me, the music's incredible.
These guys are handsome.
This woman is beautiful.
Yeah.
And for some reason, it just don't connect.
You know, and that's crazy.
You know, sometimes, too, me, I don't know.
I guess we all up on this couch because we think we know music.
Or sometimes I hear records or I see artists that I know for a fact.
I mean, like, oh, no, she's out of here.
This guy's out of here and then it don't go.
I'm confused because I'm like, for sure, that was supposed to be out of here.
I think it's all God's doing.
and I think it's all the, once again,
it all came back to people got to like you.
I always used Cardi B as an example,
but people thought she was funny
and they liked her before they ever knew
she was ever going to put out a record.
And then she put out of here,
the Bodak Yellow, you're like, damn, on top of that,
this year is fire? It's on.
You know, and that's what I,
that, you know, if there's any artists
out there looking, you got to find a way
to get that connection with the people,
And I think that's the most priceless thing.
You know, for us, we take it for granted.
You think you're a hitmaker.
You think you're a hitmaker.
Nah, it's the people.
I am a hitman.
Yeah, but somebody got to like your hit.
And so what I'm saying to you is when you go outside.
Okay, but when you walk out in the stadium and there,
that's the law.
That's the blessing.
That's the Lord.
That's the blessing because some people got music like that.
Crickets.
Some people got music like that and cricket mania.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
That's cricket mania.
Damn.
That's cold.
That's cold.
I learned that one day.
One day I go, I'm performing last year in Ohio.
Listen, my daughter's way more into Sway Lee's music than Fat Joe.
Like, I don't even think she's a fan, Pete.
I don't know how to think.
She's like, you know, the Travis.
All a young pop.
and shit.
She come in Ohio to my show.
She got her girlfriend who go to college.
Her boyfriend, they come to my show.
And somehow
the pink got tore off the wall.
Fat Joe went up and they caught that body.
That you know.
It's like 30,000.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I think it was God assisting me that day so I could look like a hero.
I come back after to my daughter.
I'm like,
you know, you think you're,
father, whack.
Like, I'm tearing this shit down.
You know what I'm saying?
But, you know, it is what it is.
You know, people got to like you.
Definitely.
That's the end of the day.
That's what it goes down to.
And that's hard.
You got to keep, you know, people don't understand.
You got to keep working on that.
Until they get that energy and they really fuck with you like that.
Because this ain't an overnight thing.
Sometimes it is.
And you'd be like, gold doll in my watch.
Don't believe me.
Just watch.
Don't believe.
Yeah, yeah.
Shout out to my man, man, man.
Trinidad James, I love him.
I love him.
That's one of the greatest songs of all times.
That James is important to the fight.
I love Trinidad, James.
He's very, you know, mad shit about hip-hop fashion.
Game.
So I remember when that song was number one,
I walked up in the club, I felt like,
you know, where's that at, New Orleans,
where you walk and they got the,
Ben behind you.
Oh, yeah.
I walked in there where they got the trumpets in the eyes.
They do a little dance.
I walked up in the club one day.
That's shit.
I was icy.
That's just a real cold doll in my watch.
Yeah.
Don't believe me.
Just my sense.
I was walking in that bitch.
Like, I thought that song was about me.
You fucking kidding me?
That shit.
Shout out Trinidad, James.
That's my brother.
Real cool.
Smooth.
Smooth.
So what we look at.
So you said, Rich the kid, you rocking with him.
Oh, you know what I'm saying?
We got out.
Same difference in the house.
She's streaming right now.
We're going to drop another?
You're going to drop another?
Yeah, I'm going to drop the one with Janay the same day as the album dropped.
Oh, that's clear.
Get ready.
That's the guy.
That's the three-piece combo.
I dropped the first.
No, that's got to be disrespect.
Rich the kid and Janay.
You know what I'm saying?
Hit him in his stomach with that motherfucker.
No doubt.
No, that's disrespect.
Jenae, she ain't never whacked either.
She's so cold.
Special girl.
So close.
So close.
Her fan basis is almost like Wooten.
Ten toes, for sure.
Her fan bass is like a cult.
I went to one of our shows, bro, it was straight girls, bro.
20,000, 30,000 girls.
I'm like, it's crazy.
You know what's crazy is I had that way old,
a little bit older than me, a tad bit older than me.
Yeah.
Legends.
I had like three or four shows concerts with salt and pepper.
It was nobody a fact.
that Joe fan
that none of them shows
the whole shit
was just girls.
There was no dudes
with razor blades
in their mouth
in army jackets
none of that shit.
I look out there
I got all the girls
out here.
This shit is...
That's a good demographic.
That's a good demographic to win out of them.
That's the greatest
demographic.
Yeah, for sure.
I think my fans
are more guys, though.
I got some...
I got girl hits.
Yeah.
But I think my demographic
is more dudes.
In fact, I know
my demographic
is more douged.
I remember when I first saw a girl,
girl at my show, I couldn't believe.
Like the first five years...
Put the spotlight on the shirt.
First five years I have
motherfuckers with Army jackets,
raised it. While I'm performing,
they spit out razor blades.
Oh, shit.
Lickens motherfuckers looking at me
hard as hell and shit.
Then I was like, oh shit.
There's a female at the show.
This shit was crazy.
They pay for tickets.
Females.
Pay tickets.
Like, you were the first time you have
female fans. Like,
oh, she was a bobby.
for a year and a half.
That's when you saw the...
Before that.
So, Locke's everywhere.
Hardcore hip-hop.
You had girls at your show.
Be honest.
Oh, no, I didn't have that.
I had the hardcore hip-hop.
I had the artists.
Y'all had the original groupies.
