When he said, y'all just was chilling and said, let's do a project, let's do it. No, you want, well, all right, dig.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I did that record, I named the record after him for Harry Fraud. Me and Harry Fraud did the album to give out of the name. Yeah, shout out to my brother. I did a record. I named the Jermaine Dupree because the beat and shit, the boss that was coming out of me caused me. It reminded me of when he was on MTV, fucking cribs with the Bentley's and shit. And that was the first, like, rapper that was the first rapper that was on MTV Crives.
Starting point is 00:06:38 That was the first time I seen, like, something like that. I keep telling the motherfuckers, I only saw, like, Hulk Hogan and Britney Spears and shit. All in the next day. And the next day, it's like, homie, walking through the garage and shit. talking shit you know what I'm saying so I was inspired that day I remember that I bought this Bentley because of this nigga and I first got my money I bought a bunch of old cars first I got I bought the Arnodge like immediate and my niggas was like what are you doing like it's it's the flying spur you got to have this come like now my nigga because I wanted this like
Starting point is 00:07:09 and I didn't have no money at this time yeah I didn't get that shit out the way but I was inspired to do that shit by his kind of nonti he had in the garage he told him he's like you're not a big dog if you don't have this in your garage. You know what I'm saying? Well, my fuck is the president right now. He was the first to do a lot of shit. A lot of humbleness that he's displaying right now. But you that nigger, man.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Hey, man. When you, you know, when you do it this long, you know, it ain't, it ain't really humble. It's just, you know, I just go through the motions, you know. But I also just be thinking about, like, I really just be thinking about, like, how we get to the next space, everything that I'm doing. You know what I mean? Like, if we here doing this, that's what my mind. I don't even be thinking about all the other stuff
Starting point is 00:07:50 that I didn't did. I did it, but it's to move on. And it's really because, you know, I had this time in my life where I was really, really cocky, and I ran in the baby face. And this was before I had more success than Chris Cross. And
Starting point is 00:08:06 Babyface is like, yeah, you're the guy with a little record, the little jump record. And I was like, I was looking at him like, he almost made me disrespect him. He said, little jump, record and I was JD cocky
Starting point is 00:08:21 JD you know what I mean you know I mean and I was like what little and he was like yeah you know um
Starting point is 00:08:26 you know it's cool you did that one time but how many times can you do that damn and at the time when he said that
Starting point is 00:08:34 I didn't even think about it I hadn't thought about yeah how many times can I make crish cross how many times can I do jump
Starting point is 00:08:39 and I remember I sat for like two hours and nothing else I ain't see here nothing else for like two hours thinking about oh damn it don't mean shit in this business if you can't if i can't do it again if i can't
Starting point is 00:08:55 you know what i mean if i can't keep moving the needle so my focus ever since that day has always been like i did this since time to move on once i get halfway close to it being a finished piece of project product then i'm moving to the next and that's where i'm meant to that so i always know i don't even get caught up in it so when people be saying you humble i don't even really be in that space when people start talking about it i really be thinking about the next thing Damn, so it took for, it took for a legend, babyface to throw a bag of shit at him. Yeah, well, I'm there like... For him to become the legend that he is today.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Babyface up, it threw me off because it was like, like I said, I was, I was on this high. Was there like a welcome to the NBA kind of thing, like, you know, like... All right, nigga, you have 30. You know what I was he like, literally like, you're shitting. Like, he really did that? Yeah, like, he said it like, like, like, really almost like, yeah, you think you did. nobody think baby you know i shocked baby face was rocking like that i i really felt like are you a baby fish cool now yeah we're cool but i'm sure right this up too but you don't understand
Starting point is 00:09:57 how face delivered him if he said it in a way like he like a lie nigger like he's like yeah you know face said in this he was like that's cool i mean he definitely said it in a way that can you do it again that made me feel like oh but i mean i respected him so much he was giving you game as a baby face fan it wasn't to step over Yeah, it wasn't like that. It was just a, it was just a, you're not going to be in competition with me type of conversation. That's what it was. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:25 And I was like, I want to be in competition with you. And he said it like, s, nigg. Oh, all right. This is LaFace. We run Atlanta. Yeah. That little thing you got going on. And I was at day of studio.
Starting point is 00:10:39 So it was like, oh, yeah. I was spending money being in the studio. Man, it's just some time. Doleheads got to check the young niggas Oh not, definitely. I like your little cute little record. Because wasn't it ever a moment where you had to tell somebody that?
Starting point is 00:10:54 Yes. Like, yeah, that's a nice little joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't tell him the way he told me, but I told him that, you know, it's the key to being like me is to have multiples. I definitely said that.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Let's just say this. I was signed the cash money and we was at So-So Def Studio playing mad. And Jermaine Dupre Was losing And he wasn't this guy
Starting point is 00:11:22 He just sitting here right now He was talking crazy He was calling motherfucking Call Johnny up He would listen He lost him He lost a motherfucker chicken that night too Yeah I lost
Starting point is 00:11:36 But he was so obsessed with winning That he just We keep calling in reinforcements It didn't even matter about the money oh you beat johnny get rickie that we called the old
Starting point is 00:11:52 man and by the way not to cut you up that that actually that actually started because birdman was in Atlanta and it was a
Starting point is 00:12:02 Falcons Saints game right and that's why we titled this song Essence Fest because I wanted to make sure
Starting point is 00:12:10 that people that don't understand that rivalry between the Saints and the Falcons it's It's real, right? Every time, and I think it was a playoff game,
Starting point is 00:12:21 but the Falcons was getting up there, and the Saints, it was like that time, because they had to play each other right before the playoffs. So there's one of them two games, right? And I think Birdman bet, like, you know, a big number. He put it out there like anybody in Atlanta want to bet, and I jumped on that. And then after the game, that's when they came to the studio,
Starting point is 00:12:40 and we started playing Madden. I don't remember who won the real game, because I think that's where the excitement came. It was like, shit, well, if y'all beat that ass on a real field. I think y'all might have won the game, though. Okay, well, then that's where it came. I think that's why he came back to get some of that money back. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Or Cito threw that, my fuck. Cito, the best bad player ever seen him. Yeah, yeah, now I remember that. But that, but that's that real energy. That's the real energy and the true energy of Atlanta and New Orleans. Do you feel like, I know your heart smiled now to see where Atlanta has came to? Yeah. Like, that shit, like nobody, I don't think nobody's seen it coming in that way.
Starting point is 00:13:15 yeah i mean last year wasn't as good as the other i'm talking about the sports i'm talking about the rap game oh yeah i mean well not i actually i actually just learned even more i was watching the little richard documentary which hasn't come out yet um and in the little richard documentary he was running back and forth from making to Atlanta
Starting point is 00:13:39 so i started watching this and saying you know what just musical energy for young black people it's been in that space right so all you had to do was jump in it I feel like I feel like the energy was just running if little Richard and James Brown and these two dudes
Starting point is 00:13:56 was running back and forth from making to Atlanta you got oldest reading and making that synergy for black artists to be at the top of the music chain it's just been right in that space we just had to jump it in and do what he had to do so and I got you know as a kid I saw SOS band, Brick, Peebo, Bryson.
Starting point is 00:14:16 All of them, they're from Atlanta. So it was like a, it's been out there. It's just a, it's just a, yeah, I mean, it's just a thing that we had to just jump in it and get to it. Now, on the rap side, yeah, on the hip-hop side, being a city that was told that we was country, did nobody rap, you know, ain't no rappers from the South, all of that type of stuff, you know, we had to go through that for Atlanta to be at the top of the food chain when they came to rap. I was definitely surprised
Starting point is 00:14:43 about that. Yeah, they wasn't playing now. I think because you know, I like the sugar-coach shit. I think because New York was blocking y'all out so much because of, you know, being the mecca of hip-hop and all of that that when y'all finally got your shot,
Starting point is 00:15:00 y'all was like, we're not letting this shit go. We're going to hold on to this shit. Because it's crazy, you'll see motherfuckers in Atlanta that beef with each other and they still do songs. They don't even like each other. But they'd be like, we ain't wet in that fucking money coming, you know, the beef coming between the money and shit like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:15 So for Atlanta, the way y'all really stuck together was way different than any other city. You know what I'm saying? I don't know what's going on in Atlanta, but from the outside looking in, yeah. It looked like, yo, them niggas really
Starting point is 00:15:31 for each other. Well, I mean, I think each person knew that one other person led for somebody else getting some money in the city, right? So if I had somebody that was an executive come down to Atlanta and they come and speak to me it was also an opportunity for you to pull your car into front of that space
Starting point is 00:15:47 or wherever I was at so that person can see you and you know what I'm saying and that I think that happened in every camp that was going on so if it was like organized noise doing that then was the next person doing that was the next person doing that so it's always some you know each person understood that that meeting
Starting point is 00:16:03 that that person was having it could change everybody like and you know what I say I see this you know the South did some Some of the big, y'all two represent cities that have some of the biggest hip, hip-hop labels in the game. I'm talking about New Orleans and Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I'm talking about, but it was ownership involved. It was different, like, even up top. And I said this, I think I said this on another show when I was telling about how New York guys were signed the labels, but the South guys created the labels. Yeah. And it was a big difference.
Starting point is 00:16:32 It was an ownership, and it was an unbelievable education that took place from, you know, New Orleans to Atlanta that educated the whole game on I'm going to be independent. I'm going to do my own thing. Because really, though, when you think about it, the South ain't had no choice, bro. Yeah, by the fault, that wasn't right?
Starting point is 00:16:47 You couldn't even get there. The niggas in the South was haul assing up to New York trying to get a deal. Because if you was from the down south, you looked at the deaf jams. You looked at these places like, shit, I got to get there. That's where is that. And then they were getting there.
Starting point is 00:17:06 They played their music. And niggas wasn't feeling that shit. Oh, now that country shit. I know. So, nigga, they left niggas no choice but to say, man, we got to put our own money behind this shit. And then when you put your own money behind it, then you start learning the game. You start learning how this shit go. You start, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Now you get to a certain level. When you go in here to speak now, you're like, oh, no, I just need distribution. I'm cool. See, see, a lot of people didn't understand it thought it was country because, nigga, if we want to talk about it, in 94, I came in the studio, and I played mass opinion. you thought I was crazy I did because I was up on this shit
Starting point is 00:17:42 I said yo this nigga right here he's gonna be out of here I told you that you did but I didn't understand I told you I'm gonna kick it all we real
Starting point is 00:17:51 I told you I told you turn this nigga the fuck off he sounded like he gotta take a shit him and Dave I'm like
Starting point is 00:18:00 that I'm like man that he got a shit man I said that I said that I said that
Starting point is 00:18:04 I remember the damn like dog he's talking some some shit I said cuz So he's telling like he got a shit, man. I ain't get that shit. But then as some time went on, it grow on you.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yeah. So by time motherfucking 99 came, I was like this. Okay, now I understand. I mean, I think, Dr. I think that's a lot of times what people don't, like, a lot of times people don't understand my movement because I learned, I wasn't just left in Atlanta to learn, right? The criss cards, I actually did hit.
Starting point is 00:18:39 in Philly. Rough house. And Studio 4. Yeah. I mean, you know, Studio 4. So then South Street became like my...
Starting point is 00:18:46 4, 4, 4, 4, 4,000. Yeah. South Street became my down there like my home every weekend, right? So we did the album out here. I was going to after midnight. Oh, yeah, you were back.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Oh, you? Yeah, I was out here. I was going to city blue shop. Yeah, you was out here. So, I mean, I started learning like a different mindset of how to move my music, right? as opposed to just being stuck in Atlanta. And I start seeing, like, going to, like, radio stations
Starting point is 00:19:14 and hearing how, I think Lady B was on the radio. Yeah. I was listening to them and listening to the radio station I had. My mind of, like, where I was wanting my records to be at was in a different space. You know what I'm saying? So I started thinking about and start trying to sample different records than what was happening in my city.
Starting point is 00:19:36 You know what I mean? I think the tough crew was number one. like they was heavy up here the tough crew was number one when i was here at that time um this was you know so so steady bead yes t cool c yes t all them three times dope yeah three times dope the hilltop hustlers all that i was out here you know what i'm saying like really really you was really you was out there you was really really out here let me find out jd had a pack out west i'm saying so i was i was and i was only 19 right so i was 19 i was 19 going to after midnight people sneaker. I wouldn't even old enough to get in the club.
Starting point is 00:20:10 But I was going in there and I seen it. I saw the clothes. I seen, you know, the way niggas was dressing, everything. So my mentality about hip hop for artists in the South or in Atlanta, I was, I just go home with that type of energy. Like, yo, we got to do this. We got to make mixtap. We got to get a mix show. We got to do this out of there. Because I saw what's happening more or less here than New York. In New York, I was in New York when I was younger. But at 19, when I started making records,
Starting point is 00:20:39 I saw what was happening here in Philly and how New York was impacting the city. But at the same time, you know, at this point in time, with Steady B and the tough crew and all of them, Philly was just all about Philly music. It was about our sound. And it was all y'all sound. And I think a lot of that played into what I was doing as well
Starting point is 00:21:00 once I went home. And that's what is about now currency. Like, like, but you, you build the unbelievable fan base. You came in the game. you was at a couple labels you did your thing when did you really wake up and say you know what I'm doing my own shit
Starting point is 00:21:13 right before like just on the bus once you know what I'm saying like we was on the way to do a show yeah like when I was with young money and I just was like this I'm participating I'm a team player I'm down with the program
Starting point is 00:21:28 but I'm not really 100% here because I'm thinking about my partners I got homes that's talented and shit and I know I can't bring them so I got to go and make a situation for this and it don't make no sense like sitting around you
Starting point is 00:21:42 you know what I'm saying what I told bro that doesn't make no sense like kicking it and fucking trying to like come up off disassociation when I know I really want to go do something else
Starting point is 00:21:49 you know what I'm saying that's how I didn't it wasn't any pressure though because coming out of New Orleans is like you got baby and you got master P it's like fuck
Starting point is 00:21:59 was it like pressure like are you just like no I'm just do my thing in my manner because this listen well I mean I had went through both situations.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I know. So, you know, it wasn't no pressure to get with them. I'm talking about pressure after which is like, well, yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:13 because I had already seen, I had already like seen what it could have been. You know, I had like seeing the potential of people like trying to fuck with me and put me into the system and then I knew the difference
Starting point is 00:22:24 or trying to do it on my own. I was like, well, now I'm about to be broke for a minute, you know what I'm saying? But it was better because when the shit worked it was all mine.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I knew if it panned out it was all for me. You know, I knew I would be one of them niggas so it ain't even matter. But coming from the South in New Orleans itself, like, in seeing, because what it showed you is that, and I think some people get it mixed up, it's players everywhere, it's solid people everywhere,
Starting point is 00:22:48 is money get us everywhere. You can't put no geographical location on it. For sure. And for two brothers that come out of New Orleans and be historic, what Master P and Baby did and Slim did was historical. This shit will be here forever. What they did. And coming from down there, did that give you like a, like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:23:06 Fuck it. I can do it now. I got a shot like anybody else. Yeah, hell yeah. Like, my inspiration came from Soldier Slam. Okay, Soldier Slam. When he got the Cadillac, he got out of jail and Master P bought this naga, a Cadillac DTS or whatever that was at the time.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I was like, nah, I got to rap. Like, there's no other way. You know what I'm saying? Because this nigga could rap, no album yet, you just got out. All he did was come home. And nigg was like, nah, here, he'll go shit. I'm like, nah, I got to do that. Because I was a kid, so I'm like, nah, immediately the way to catalanx and shit is rap.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I'm just going to do that, straight up. This episode of me and I was worth a game is bought to you by New Amsterdam Vaca. Now, life isn't going your way. Shout of New Amsterdam Baca. Y'up, you caught your woman cheating the day. Shout a new Amsterdam baca. Yep, you thought your check was coming and it didn't hit your bank account. It didn't drop your way.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Shot of New Amsterdam Baca. It's still five times. It's filtered. it three times for a clean crisp finish is also the number one selling vodka in Pennsylvania if you didn't know that but I just thought I should throw it out there for you because you know we're from Pennsylvania

But when you're out and about, make sure you pick up some New Amsterdam Vaca, the official vodka of Barstool Sports.
Starting point is 00:24:47 We appreciate you. Right. Right. Now, you know what's crazy about it. I just put this up, I think, on my page, like about, like, two days ago, three days ago. The best meal I ever had in my motherfucking life was in New Orleans.

Starting point is 00:25:47 Can't eat none of this? I'm not just listening to her. I'm just hearing how it. You got a, he got a fuck-up pile with, man. It's sound like beat jerky to me. Oh, man. Look. Look.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah, he just walks you through the menu. He gave you a little bit of everything. That shit was amazing, man. Yeah. The flavors, I'm talking about, like, the flavors of the shit. Yeah. Now, everywhere, you do, you know what I'm saying? That's what we do out there.
Starting point is 00:26:11 But, like, I see that y'all got your own thing, your own sling. And what I told somebody, and when I used to tell young artists, even to the day, I tell them, I said, bring your energy from your neighborhood. Stop trying to mimic niggas from Atlanta. You know what I'm saying? Because that's what the game. The game is, if you look back to years. Niggas from Chicago.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Listen, niggins from Atlanta in Chicago, they're probably the most mimic motherfuckers. You know what I didn't hear your motherfuckers Try to sound like all these niggies Thugs gonna A-bye So it's like I try to tell him If you go back When I seen juvenile In that hump video
Starting point is 00:26:43 And I said what the fuck In the project Sweating for no reason Grab people was that He dressed like New Orleans He spoke like it He repped And it shook the whole game up
Starting point is 00:26:55 And that And that was BG and them When you heard them It wasn't that Anytime you bring something That's not there It's gonna work I don't know why everybody think that they got to put on this fucking
Starting point is 00:27:06 they got to be sheep now, like, but we have to do this. The establishment made it like that, like the suits made it that way because you can't, they won't listen or you can't get a deal if you're not already like somebody else and shit like that, you know. But that's not how it was. Man, we came up. That's what made shit work, bro. Like, all right, so you said, you made the song of Jayley.
Starting point is 00:27:27 He fucked your mind up since a kid and then TB Chris. Like, you know what's crazy. just say a little bit about MTV Cribs MTV Cribs showed you motherfuckers were getting in JD like the flex was crazy but we got to remember y'all I love the streaming shot I love all this
Starting point is 00:27:44 but JD and then was selling millions of records where people had to put their clothes and get out of their house and walk to the store walk to the tile records so that's a different type of like the money was different um you know he was produced and he was right and he was doing all this
Starting point is 00:28:00 so that was the bank man yeah that MTV Cribs would to show you See with his Louis glasses on That you can barely see the Louie's on the frames And all that So he was the fucking bank So it was different So currency in the crib
Starting point is 00:28:12 Looking at him as a kid like Oh shit The only other dudes I see is like Big Town football players are You know Back then like you said Hawke Hogan, bro That was it
Starting point is 00:28:21 That was the other episode That was like the other episode That's up and up And he came so Now y'all doing a project How did it really initiate What y'all said Let's do this
Starting point is 00:28:30 Like when he hit me about the record it was like, you know, that's dope that you did that and just was like, we should line up and do a record. Like, you know, but I pulled up to Atlanta and when we kicked it, it just was just threw the kicking and we ended up. When we looked up at the end of just chilling,
Starting point is 00:28:47 we had like six records within that day. You know what I'm saying? And the next day we fucking did the same thing. Next day we did the same thing. Never conceptualized, like, let's put the project out. Nothing. I really just thought I was coming to get a beat from this nigga. Like, have one JD record in my repertoire ever, but
Starting point is 00:29:04 it ended up being what it is. That's major. Versus. Now, hold on. Before he said anything, we was arguing. I got to put it out there. Fuck it. You can say whatever you want. I said, I said this. No disrespect to Diddy. I said, J.D., what smoked Diddy? And the only reason I said that is because I feel as dope. Diddy, there's no bullshit, man. I'm not,
Starting point is 00:29:27 this ain't, this is real. Diddy is a fucking beast. He brought a lot of shit. He brung style. He brought a lot of shit to the culture. But, I said Diddy then I don't think Diddy was touching a lot of shit Diddy had a team of motherfuckers and I know you could be the director and still be your movie but it's like I'm talking about actually touching shit I don't know if did he done that that's all I told you I'm not saying I'm gonna go ahead because I know before you start it's a lot of producers out there that be you know um
Starting point is 00:29:50 that that do produce and don't make the beats and don't do what I do basically right so but they do produce I'm like you know I can't discredit it that's a that's a formal production Okay, tell me how. Huh? Tell me how break this. I mean, because, you know, you still got a, you still got, like, if you have, like, say, for instance, you got all these musicians playing all this music,
Starting point is 00:30:12 and, you know, you have somebody sing in a certain pocket, and you tell them to sing in that pocket, then you're telling the musicians, like, you're not touching nothing, by the way, you're not singing anything, but you're also telling the musicians, like, you know what, don't play that guitar lick the way you playing it. Play it a little bit. different now if you don't know how to tell them to play it that that's also a funny thing about people saying production but you still tell them you still hear it in your head what you want
Starting point is 00:30:41 right and you can tell them no no no and did and today today can try to play it closest to what you think in your head right if you formulate and all of that and you're in the studio doing that you are directing as a producer um you know it's just it's just it's just like production you know it's just it's just direction yeah that's it just it's a different you're like a I can bring some young niggas in right now. Play that. No, I don't like that. Play that again.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Yeah, I like that right there. Play something else. Give me a snag, nigger. No, I don't like that. I mean, that's a form of production. Wait, give me a snaget. All right, I like that. And all I said was, Puff were going on to bring the team.
Starting point is 00:31:19 What was it, the hitmakers or whatever? Steve E.J. I said, he got to bring them to go against him. He can't just come by himself. So if he comes and he got to bring them, that's all I said. I mean, I think a lot of times with me, you know, even with us doing these interviews, for this record, I'm starting to really, like, realize that the thing about Jemain Dupre that people really, really don't understand.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Tell them. It's that I really am like the first, no, no, no, no. I'm really like the first of my kind, right? I'm really like the first of my kind where, like, you know, I was the first producer to be put into the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest producer with a number one record. That means that before me, there was nobody 17 writing music
Starting point is 00:32:07 and producing. You know what I'm saying? Not not rap records anyway, right? And I don't think I actually don't think people I don't even think niggas know that, right? I don't think niggas know that to even like put that into the mix, but that's really that's really what it is.
Starting point is 00:32:22 They know it now. They know it now. Hold on. You know? Can you tell us some of the records that you were behind that people may not know that you We're behind. Just the best part. Just the best part? Yeah, because I just found out to a...
Starting point is 00:32:35 I mean, I'll... Records that people don't know. You want me to tell me about the records people don't know, I think... You can tell me about the records people know, and the records people don't know, because I might not know some of the records that people know. I mean, you know, that... That, dear, that people that don't give me credit for, it's like the Youngblood's damn... Bone Crusher.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Never scared. I think people know Bone Crusher, never scared. Yeah, I ain't know that shit. I ain't know that shit You know The franchise boys Is a situation too like that I think
Starting point is 00:33:06 You know People But the story of it Right That the franchise boys Got dropped from Universal I did a remix for Oh I think they liked me
Starting point is 00:33:15 And I put it on Just on this compilation And the whole time That I was doing it I kept saying to myself What is Universal doing with y'all Because the music's not moving Right
Starting point is 00:33:25 And I was hoping That they got dropped but Universal was still holding them and I woke up one more and they was calling my phone and it's like yo they dropped us and what you're going to do and I'm like yes
Starting point is 00:33:38 you know what I said I was so excited that they dropped them because I felt like a group like that I'm from Atlanta my company's in Atlanta I knew exactly what to do with y'all right they called and said you know we put this song out
Starting point is 00:33:52 a long time ago Jermaine the song didn't work that's when they said the day about they wanted to take the franchise boys off and put just me Bratt and Bauer on the song for the song to work. That's the only way it's going to get on a radio.
Starting point is 00:34:03 And I'm like, no, the fuck is not. Like, you guys are not in Atlanta. You don't know what's fucking happening in the city of Atlanta. Give me the group. Give me the record, right? So, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:14 I don't think, sometimes people don't even actually, they know that I was on the franchise boy song. Or I think they like me record. But I don't know if people be like, when they, because whenever time somebody talk about Jamainipree, they never include these artists.
Starting point is 00:34:27 They never include these artists as people That's part of so-so debt So then outside of that you got You got J-Quorn with the tipsy record Yeah Everybody in the club getting tipsy That's so-so-dead What?
Starting point is 00:34:40 What? You ain't know that even? I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either I didn't know that nobody know that Nobody know that I just thought that was the machine You know that at the point Yeah he's from somewhere I ain't know he was Yeah so see that's what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:34:56 There's a majority of these records. Then that's just, that's five artists, by the way. We just spoke that, you know, collectively people say they don't know a part of social death. And that's what I think happens when people talk about me battling anybody, not just punk, because Steve Stout said I couldn't beat the trackmasters. And I'm like, you know, I don't know who they got that's going on. I'm thinking this meeting my mind. Okay, they did not.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Who y'all going to line up with based on what I know is in my head, right? And I'll, and I'm talking about what you know with your head. What's some of the shit Do you know that's in your head? No, I just said, that's what I'm saying. I'm looking at, like, both artists. Like, the artist people don't even know.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Say, like, we did an interview when they asked Jop, whose side was he going to be on if it was me and him against Puff, right? And I, Jock from my hood. So, Jock, naturally, Jock would want to be over on the,
Starting point is 00:35:48 I would think he would want to be on my side, but I told him he has to go on Puff side because Puff needs that. Because once I start getting into that bag of music I don't know I don't know I don't know
Starting point is 00:36:00 I don't know he signed boys in the hood and that boys in the hood and young job the bomb the fucking bomb crushers out here but I'm saying
Starting point is 00:36:09 when I get in that bag we can go very very deep into that type of music I don't know how deep bad boy can go into that music
Starting point is 00:36:17 and now we know all the popular shit we know that a bad boy that's that's all it was I was just like you know And a lot of times I think that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:36:27 I'll be tend to saying, like, you guys don't, y'all say, I don't match up. I got a group for everybody group. Or I might got two groups for every one group that anybody got. Wait, hold. One for the money. If you come over just. Two for the bank. What's that, Rooskey?
Starting point is 00:36:46 No. Just give it to you the bread. Oh, my God. Like, Brad has smoked a lot of this shit if these dudes going to play. Like, listen, Brat is a lot of this shit. Brad alone won't smoke a lot of shit. Shout out of my sister. I'm talking about Brad.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I'm talking about Brad going to smoke shit on the strip of the numbers alone. Yeah. She can stand with some of these dudes, some of these big records out here. So I don't even know if people understand that. Okay. So, all right, so I've been letting me speak it. That was my shit, too. Let me put these headphones back off.
Starting point is 00:37:16 That was the shit. Puff comes with the locks. Yeah. Yeah, now, now. What's on money, power, spend. No, I'm saying. You got, you said you got groups. You only got a couple songs
Starting point is 00:37:27 You can't get Jay the shit by itself The Locks here by the offer On Rough Riders I got I got Franchise Boys and I got Youngblood groups Okay They're so big songs
Starting point is 00:37:39 I mean you know They represent different They represent two different I don't want to buy Listen to them like But the Youngblers You know We're just talking about
Starting point is 00:37:48 Artist to artists We're not talking about music We're just saying If you were saying like Oh you got a group I got a group You got another group I got a group
Starting point is 00:37:55 You got to do it like that, right? Well, Biggie alone. Like, how are you going to go against Biggie? I ain't, I'm going to take the Biggie punches. But at the same time, you know, like I said, it's a fight. If it's a fight, it's a fight. You don't get in the ring and try to fight somebody and then you pray to God.
Starting point is 00:38:08 You ain't going to get hit. What about Mace, though? You got to take Mace. Huh? The Mace punches. I mean, see, the thing about this, didn't say this about this. And I'm not, and I'm not trying to dance around it.
Starting point is 00:38:17 The thing about this battle is that majority of the records, each one of the artists that Puff brings, I got records with them too. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? That you produced. That I produced, right? So if Puff played his version of Big Papa remix, I mean Big Papa, I'm going to play my
Starting point is 00:38:34 version of Big Papa remix, or the remix what Big actually redid his vocals, right? That you still got, the number was out. No, it came out. Came out. You can play it right now. But Big redid his vocals for my remix. Puff has his version, right? We can sit here and judge that.
Starting point is 00:38:51 You know what I'm saying? It's a mind battle. Right? You know what I'm saying? Like Lil Kim, not tonight. I did that song. A bunch of people don't know that.
Starting point is 00:39:03 I made that song, right? So then if you have total, total doing their first single, Brad is on the record. It's like, it's a weird, you know what I'm saying? It's like,
Starting point is 00:39:15 we never was like beefing the way people. Oh no, you think he wanted us to be. We was out here making music together. So if you start putting this on a table, it all intertwines. with each other right so it's hard for you to like sit here and really like just like
Starting point is 00:39:29 you know the only the only elephant in the room is B-I-G and that's my man I'm like trying to go against him period I don't believe nobody could go against him so I mean you know I'm gonna take that and I'm gonna dance my ass
Starting point is 00:39:45 off when the Biggie records come on but other than that Don da dun oh what are the thing huh I'm just saying Dund da dun That's all I'm gonna say
Starting point is 00:39:59 You know I got a lot You know I got a bunch of stupid Records That like Give me some Give me some

Starting point is 00:43:25 I'd be like, damn, damn, damn, them two should be in a group, but it'd be more easy. They'd be able to break that money out, you know. Like, like, you understand. When I was, you know, when I was doing my thing, I wouldn't have him because I was, when I first put him in the studio, was managing him. To fuck out of him.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Because I was managing, man. Who was getting the studio time? What? That means, I'm your manager, nigga. No, you were like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was set in the studio. He was, no, he was a rapper. He was a rapper, so he knew, I didn't rap.
Starting point is 00:43:51 he was a rapper so he knew where to go to be a rapper I didn't know that shit I wasn't trying to rap But did I did not take care to studio time No you didn't You was like my cousin Nice
Starting point is 00:44:02 You took me to the studio The niggas gave a studio time For free They was like this nigga really is Nice No shout out to my man Dice raw He had me hooked up But still
Starting point is 00:44:11 It was making you paid When you brought me It was just No my God You did that to a couple Diggas I got this nigga that's hot he actually put him in the nigga hot
Starting point is 00:44:22 All right you ain't got to pay No you still pay you though Digger with you'll break your bed And them Jones was like $20 This is my man peanut Shout out the peanut It was $20 a pop I took him there
Starting point is 00:44:32 Put him in the studio You know what I mean Did a little No move this around Don't say that say this I produce him I didn't produce you I didn't never tell you to take the
Starting point is 00:44:40 Now listen I already knew what I was going to put down On me because I already I was reading this back When rap pages Magazine was out So I'm reading the article is a masterpiece. I'm like, damn, I'm going to sign guild.
Starting point is 00:44:53 I'm going to be his manager, and I'm putting him on my label. I'm just thinking about all the shit I'm going to do, right? Yo, he knows about this shit. And he's my little cousin. But he don't know. I had him do a show. I got paid for it. He doesn't know about it.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I said, go up there rap. Do the one joint you had off the freestyle. He done it. I got like 150. He didn't know nothing about. I said, man, this is for a promo. So I was moving around. I did everything to move a nigga around.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Oh, my God. He was moving around? I paid for the studio. Get the fuck out of him. And I made him a rapper. Like, he didn't, listen, he was going to college play better. He did not know nothing about, like to this day. He don't know nothing about the history of rap beyond before Snoop Dog and all of them.
Starting point is 00:45:31 He don't know shit else about that. So I took this thing, I said, damn, okay. You won't be my protege? Just like he was doing. You'll be my pro to. No, listen, though. He's not lying, though. See, I didn't grow up.
Starting point is 00:45:41 I didn't even have cable TV growing up. So I'd never seen videos. All I did was play basketball and some other shit. You know what I mean? So I took him to the studio and said, listen, man, yeah, I had the whole layout for it. I said, I'm going to get this nigga a one sheet contract.
Starting point is 00:45:57 The only thing is what I'm going to say on that is. Listen, what he's going to say is, is, I agree that Wallace people, aka Wildo, my cousin, is my manager and I'm signed to his record label. All publishing, all recordings, all recordings, all copyrights will belong to
Starting point is 00:46:13 Bobless people. No, that's what I was going to do. I was going to do. Yeah, yeah. You see he never gave it to me. That's what I was going to slap him in his head with a gun. No, because I was the jail. He sent him right to stables, 15 joints of his head. You know what I was in college.
Starting point is 00:46:27 But you know. But, J.D., can I will say this? That contract was in one page, but I put the right stuff in there, publishing. Kabir, I put the right stuff, man. Everything was going to revert to me. And then once the contract was over, it was going to be a five-year contract. Listen, once it was over, it revert back to me again for another 10 years. So I had like a 15-year contract.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I had this shit lined up one page We ain't got to get to all the bullshit Hey let me ask you question You ever signed a fucked up contract Huh? You ever had a fucked up deal? Probably It's your problem
Starting point is 00:47:00 I mean You know what a nigga got hits The nigga don't even remember The fucked up deal That's why Well yeah that's the thing That's the thing that avoids Fucked up deal
Starting point is 00:47:08 Or avoid a fucked up deal If you If you make Records that sell Pass Everybody's expectation They got It's time to change the contract.
Starting point is 00:47:20 You know what I mean? It's not even, whatever the contract was, it didn't even matter. You know what I mean? Because we did way more, like Chris Crutch's first album, I'm sure they never thought
Starting point is 00:47:32 they was going to sell 8 million records. Never. It's not in no way in nobody's mind because it's the first kid rap group to ever exist in the era, I mean, in the genre. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:47:46 So you, had the first kid group ever yeah of course okay and you are in the Guinness World Records for being the first producer the youngest producer they have a number one the number one ever yeah
Starting point is 00:48:00 I mean it's changed now because there's some million young niggas in Atlanta making beats you know okay but you was first yeah you see what I've changed now there's a bunch of young niggas making records but prior you was first
Starting point is 00:48:14 niggas in the suits so it stood You held it the longest, then you held that spot in the Guinness for the longest. For a long time, yeah, probably. But, I mean, like I said, could probably do that again because motherfuckers, you know, the way it work now. I mean, because we still were the number one, but I don't know, you know, because we talk about number one top 100. I'm not talking about just a, no, I'm trying. Yeah, you're talking about everybody.
Starting point is 00:48:39 So I don't know if a young producer has had a, you have to be 16 to have a top 100, I guess, to be. You did a lot of times, nigga outside of that, you know, like off the record, like, damn, this nigga, you was going with Janet Jackson. How to fuck do somebody do that? That's like humanly impossible.
Starting point is 00:48:56 If you're not a billionaire or something, that's like humanly impossible. Like, this nigga went with Janet. Prince, principal, bo, yes. There's no smooth way to try to segue with it. Nah, there's no way to do it. That's it. That's just what to do.

Starting point is 00:49:33 Like how the fuck do you pull somebody on that level How do you say Was it in the restaurant or the studio Say you say listen I'm gonna go out with you I'm jail no You write out I gotta produce a record on you She got there
Starting point is 00:49:44 The candles was lit it was smelling like Bacarot, that motherfucker. I just had to set the mood for you. I wasn't about that one with no music sheet. You just went right at her? I just was on some like hang out. I wasn't on no music shit though. I never wanted to produce.
Starting point is 00:49:59 We got an argument about me not producing her because, you know, she was around me watching everybody else get hit. Yeah, why you ain't you? I'm your booed, nigga. So how that worked when you came in a bedroom? We had an exact conversation. And I was just like, I didn't come here to.
Starting point is 00:50:14 You know, I never wanted. her to think that that's what my agenda was, because so many people were saying that a nigga trying to gather. That's not what I, you know, when Janet met me, she got picked up from the airport in a continental tea. Talk heavy, nigga.
Starting point is 00:50:28 You know what I mean? It ain't like, it ain't I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So it wasn't never no situation where I wanted her to believe that I was trying to do this because nah, it wasn't, that ain't that one.
Starting point is 00:50:43 That's my best car to fuck out for that. That's one of the cards. Actually, I said the wrong word. It was the, nah. He's, you know. That wasn't a bad. No, that's what she got picked up in the night because the team is too small. But like, what do you do for a woman, but listen, what do you do for a woman that guy?
Starting point is 00:50:59 Wait, wait, wait, hold on. So what was that conversation like when you came in the bedroom and she could have been in there and some lingerie and said, why you never produced any of my records? I mean. You know, I have to try to figure out how to explain it. See how he'd start stumbling right there? She's not even here he's stumbling. It was actually a thing where I didn't really know how to say it because everybody else I was producing.
Starting point is 00:51:28 But I was at a point where I was like, I'm not getting ready to do this with you because I don't want to be the person that mess it up. And I respect Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, right? These guys are gods to be legends. Right? So I'm like, you don't need me. But in her,
Starting point is 00:51:44 eyes and what she saw everybody else doing that didn't sound right it sounded like I was I was in the wrong space then that calls a rift though huh in a relationship yeah a little bit at some point because it was like you know the the CEO in me if I seen niggas that work with her that was fucking up it was hard for me not to say something right so I'm like them niggas ain't that well then why the fuck you ain't doing it oh oh okay all right you know what That's different. If you were here doing this shit, if you were here doing this shit,
Starting point is 00:52:19 you were saying. Now, one last thing. What do you do for a woman that financially got it all? How do you take a date? How do you make up a date? How do you buy gifts? Like what?
Starting point is 00:52:29 Regular shit. I mean, the thing about our relationship which is so funny is like I said, when niggas speak about it, they don't speak about me, I'm a nigga that got it all too. Like what you was, you know, like I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:52:41 So you just figure out what's the best for, for two people that got it all, I guess. Oh, you know what I mean? I like that. I ain't have what she got. I might not have as much as she got. But I got my shit.
Starting point is 00:52:51 But I got my shit. And you know what I mean? I ain't got to ask you for nothing. So if you're in that position, you got two people that, it's whatever. Now, y'all did a project.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Who y'all got on this project, y'all too? Oh, shit. Well, the whole thing. Because y'all can call anybody. We broke it into volumes. You know what I'm saying? So there's a few more other says.

Starting point is 00:53:49 I feel like it's just the 50th anniversary of hip hop. Okay, I respect it. Everybody keeps on my honest to 50th anniversary of hip hop. But I don't see niggas doing nothing for the 50th anniversary of hip hop. Like, what are you doing? What are you doing? Anybody out there? They just sang it.
Starting point is 00:54:07 They're playing music. Or we go on to a concert. We've been going to concerts 50 years. What are you doing? for it. So for me that was my oath to what hip hop did to me. What hip hop would have made me do is put
Starting point is 00:54:21 that on. Hip hop would have made you dress up like Kanye for your birthday. Hip hop makes us do shit and has made us do shit that we didn't want to that we probably shouldn't have done. Like when I said when I came out here to Philly niggas just had these

If you're in New York City, I know you've been looking for these guys. I'm talking about just New York. You could be anywhere in the country, but they're from NYC. They're from New York.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Oh, what part is y'all from? Queens. Okay, you're from Bronx. They say the Bronx is the dirtiest part. That's what you'll see. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Queens second dirty. Shout out of my people, nah, but this is going to be a lot. I mean, the nigs came up from the second dirtiest part of the New York.
Starting point is 01:09:30 But I will say this. Seven, Brandon, give my people to game about what y'all going to do for them and how you're going to change them? Give them the information to not just get funded themselves
Starting point is 01:09:39 but become a funding company and why is that important? Listen, the biggest issue in our community is is accessing capital. We're showing you guys how to access the capital and also while accessing the capital making money off the capital,
Starting point is 01:09:48 making money off the knowledge on getting the capital. The biggest business in this world is Amazon. Amazon is the middleman. So we're showing you how to become the bank. Becoming the bank is going into the bank, knowing the knowledge how to get a line of credit for $100K, get a high limit business credit card. Now you can get clients and make $5 to $10KBurk client
Starting point is 01:10:07 by accessing the capital, by showing them how to access the capital. We're trying to build an ecosystem in the entire country where if I go to Philly, Walo, you got to fund the company. I go to Dallas. Somebody else got to fund a company. I go to California.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Somebody else got a funding company. Now we're solving the problem of us trying to get capital. Everybody has a funding company parts of the world, and we all can get access to the capital in different parts of the country. Let me ask you a question. When you say funding, what type of banks or credit cards? What are you talking about? Like, tell me what type of funding?
Starting point is 01:10:35 Lines of credit, high limit credit cards. These are no dock loans and lines of credit cards. You get a chase unlimited car from 50 to 100K. Right. What other type of cards? So there's also American Express cards, Business Platte. them you can use points for free hotels free i know you know about that oh yes sir i know you know about that high limits now you get these things with no docs so you all you need is a good credit score
Starting point is 01:10:58 you have to show tax returns you have to show bank statements you have to show receipts and no doc loans and lines of credit oh so damn so if i'm johnny nobody y'all gonna help me get that and then y'all gonna help me start my own funding company after y'all help me get that you're going to give me in line and then you're going to say here go to game start your own thing yes sir we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and give you the game, but not only just give you the game, but we're going to also teach you how you can do it for yourself, right? Because obviously you got to help yourself first before you can help somebody else. So if you can help yourself first by getting the funding and being able to use
Starting point is 01:11:28 and leverage the lines of credit that you're able to now receive, whether it be a no doc loan, a no doc line of credit or a 0% interest credit card, you can now put it into a company that can generate money for you. Or if not, then you can go ahead and go out there, do the marketing, get the clients and now be able to fund those clients and get 8 to 10,000 off of each client. That's major. oh man so so hold on hold on i'm a little confused so when you say fund the clients and make how much
Starting point is 01:11:53 you said to me eight to 10 000 how you how you how you do that so like i said amazon is a middleman all you are is becoming the bank you're being the middle man so now you have the knowledge on how you get 100k johnny bravo he doesn't know how to get funding he needs funding everybody in his world personally or his business needs funding i'm getting you to 100 And collecting my success fee, I'm charged you 10%. That's 10K on the back end. I just got you the 100K. You take the 100K.
Starting point is 01:12:25 I charge you 10%. That's 10K. You could do that per client. So you're taking 90K. You're taking 10. No, I'm saying you taking 10. Yeah, they get 90. They get 90.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Now you can build your business. That's major. So my whole thing is like, how did y'all get in the game? Funding ourselves. Who gave y'all the game? Did anybody get y'all the game?
Starting point is 01:12:46 You just learned the game? So, for me and myself personally, I was, I was looking at over it for about five year period of time. My daughter was born. I said I needed to get out of the rat race. And we're doing so. I learned about zero percent interest credit cards. We're learning about it.
Starting point is 01:12:58 We went to a company, Joe Small Company. They went ahead and gave us about $170,000 of funding. We ain't know what to do with it. So at that point, we needed the coaching, but we didn't have anybody at that point to coach us. Fuck the money up. Actually, not really. We actually went ahead and did a real estate flip, and we actually made our money back. So we was able to actually put it into something.
Starting point is 01:13:18 But then we then later on said, you know what? We need a little bit more mentoring. So, you know, we stopped by our man, Herman. We went through his mentorship course. And then now, you know, even Herman sends us some clients. But we're doing so. We actually learned the game and took the knowledge further and learned about no doc loans, no dock lines of credit where you don't have to provide anything but your LLC,
Starting point is 01:13:39 your EIN documents, your operating agreement, and your credit. So with doing so, now you're able to get 50 to 100,000. from one bank and we're just talking about one bank if your sequence is proper you can go and get 500,000 from five banks because now it's 100 100 100 100 from each bank and 10%
Starting point is 01:13:58 on each hundred that's 50k and that could be one client one business magic to do 10 clients a month 10 businesses a month I just want to say they must be doing a lot of clients because their ladies are sitting over there with all types of coachy
Starting point is 01:14:13 but let's get a shit on in the I'm talking about $4,000 of boots and shit. I haven't beat them like, I'm like, dumb niggas is they running a lot of niggas and they're getting 10%. But this is something, this is what I need to know. What I need to know is this. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:33 How do I, once I call y'all, I get to join, I get connected with y'all, how long do it take for me to understand the game and know the game so I go to the next level? So this is the great part, right? Like I said, all you need is a laptop and a cell phone. Now, if you have good credit, you can get access to funding, but you don't even have the good credit to make 5 to 10K a client.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Now, we have all the information inside this coaching and live training. All the information is in there if we do start getting clients right away. So now even if you get a client in, we have the whole system set up. So if you get a client in tomorrow, you don't have everything figured out. We'll help you fund that client. And you can make 5 to 10K without having everything figured out, without having good credit with just a laptop and a cell phone. And we show you how to set up the entire system.
Starting point is 01:15:14 So you get to start the first week You get a client, somebody that got a good score Somebody that needs 100K Get them in there We'll help them get funded While I'll teach you the game Yeah we had a mentee that actually came through our program She paid the $5,000
Starting point is 01:15:26 She came in She said hey I want to get this client funded She went to Chase We got a $60,000 Chase credit card for the client And then also she went to PSCCU And then they got a $40,000 Line of Credit and credit card together So they got $100,000 in total in funding
Starting point is 01:15:43 and now 10% of that was $10,000. Damn. That shit is like, like. And that's one client, my fault. You know, it's one client. One client. So my thing is like, what is the information that you're all giving up in this first class, this live class?
Starting point is 01:15:59 So listen. You know what they're getting for free, man. I'm going to give it to you right now. This is the funding circle, right? I'm going to give you out of banks that we use to get half a million to a million dollars. No doc loans. You got PNC. the application on the phone you get up to 100k line of credit plus a business credit card that's
Starting point is 01:16:16 25k you got key bank you get a 50k credit card 50k line of credit you got mnc they do a hundred k no doc loan and a 25k credit card this is all business now all business then you also got citizens and then you also got a bank that's close to y universe now if you live on the east coast new jersey new york tri-state area that's your blueprint that you can go to all of those banks with a good credit score get half a million and if you use this website could you do all this, like go to all these banks in the day? If you set up the appointments, but they're in different locations.
Starting point is 01:16:48 But this is within a week. Within the feds, it's legit. I'm just saying, but then they're going to be like, how the fuck you make it 11 banks in one day? You can't. You just keep running around, borrow money all in one day. No, it's legit because they can't see them about that.
Starting point is 01:17:03 I'm just saying it is legit, but you still are you. I still think like an old street, man. You're going to make a nigga hot, man. I just do this shit 11 days in the road. I'm not doing this. No worry. We're going to call and one. in the game.
Starting point is 01:17:13 We're the colds in the game. So we rustles on him down. We got you. We can make it happen. It's all about the strategy. This is legal, but I'm just saying the old way I used to grow, raise, it's like 11 banks in a day. Sound crazy. No, not 11, but do you got to understand this?
Starting point is 01:17:27 Because he said, if you sit here today, I make a point, I'll say next Monday, I'm going to Key Bank, I'm going to M&T, I'm going here, I'm going, I'm going at 10 o'clock, 1130, 30, 1230. What's, you go to five banks. I'm saying you go to five banks in the day. You can. It's really that's possible. It's definitely possible. Once you let all your paperwork's align and anything align and your stuff match up and you
Starting point is 01:17:50 legit and you already set the appointments up with the business, what's that person called inside of the preview they had in the business accounts? Yeah. Your relationship managers. Yeah, relationships matter. It ain't going to be a big deal. And that's important for us, right? And some of them you get on line, right?
Starting point is 01:18:02 Yes, but the relationship managers is what matters, right? So we teach you how to build that relationship with the relationship managers because that's what's important. Right. When you go into these banks, you can't just get a no-doc line of credit or a no-doc loan program that easily because not all bankers know about it and two they won't offer it to everybody because they weren't a client with you from before so now when you go into a bank you build a relationship with a relationship manager or a relationship banker now you can get
Starting point is 01:18:27 these programs because they have different offers and different tear packages that they can offer to clients of theirs so now i go into a bank that's like chase which they offer up to 150,000 on a zero percent interest credit card i can go in there and say hey i have a client that they need $150,000 or they need $100,000 or they need $50,000 on a credit card, they're going to go ahead and do something called a DocuSign or something of that nature so that my client can now, one, be at ease with the transaction, two, be able to get the funding because they have the credit score. And three, which is very important, they have the relationship now with that banker so they can
Starting point is 01:19:03 continue to keep growing their business and get other products. Damn, so my whole thing is like this, man. Since y'all been doing your thing, how many people does y'all put on? So we've definitely Almost close to 100 mentees But as far as funding We've done over $3 million And five months in funding
Starting point is 01:19:20 Damn Y'all getting them that cake More than that actually Yeah Actually yeah If we count in these two months together We've done over I think four or five million now
Starting point is 01:19:32 And say For the looks of things I believe them That's crazy man That's just You know It's just crazy Because it's like
Starting point is 01:19:42 So many people out here they don't understand what OPM. You got some of the greatest business people, a lot of the greatest corporations in America would start off OPM, other people's money, meaning the system money, you know, money that's out there that's out there and available for people.
Starting point is 01:19:54 And people just don't know. It's so many people that don't understand what these loans is, what do they call, SBA loans or something? SBA loans, SBA 7A loans. So it's like so many people don't understand especially when it comes to us, we're just getting really updated
Starting point is 01:20:07 on this type of stuff. I mean, here forever. We just started to really tap into so it was great. their brother's like, y'all, you know, Millionaire Essentials is coming through to give out this information, you know, and it's like, it's just crazy that we're so late in the game.
Starting point is 01:20:21 For real, we really are. But for those that's jumping, catching them and jumping out, I'm seeing so many people just flourish like it ain't never been forward because they're getting the funding that they need because so many people got ideas. And like you said, everybody don't have to be able to start. Some of y'all are going to understand that this could be my business right here. They're giving you the Ali Hoop on the business and start,
Starting point is 01:20:37 how to start your own funding company. But some people would be like, man, I'm trying to fund my music. I'm trying to fund this garage. I'm trying to fund this trucking company. I'm trying to fund this Cloverline. I'm trying to fund this restaurant. You come to y'all, get the funding for whatever they need. Y'all give them the game and they go about their way.
Starting point is 01:20:51 Absolutely. And a very important thing, right, with a regional bank, a regional bank that, and this is for everybody. And any state that you're in, if you can go to a regional bank, contact the local banker, the relationship manager, the relationship banker. And with doing so, you can ask them what type of products do they have that doesn't require a full list of documents? or requires little to no documents
Starting point is 01:21:14 because with doing so, then now you'll be able to see what programs they have, right? Obviously, Warner Brother, Sony, they're one of the biggest lines of credit because they use music and they fund people that way. Why not you become your own line of credit
Starting point is 01:21:26 and now you can fund your own music. Become the bank. Become the bank. Damn, that's major. So what y'all need to do right now, I don't care what you doing. Stop. Listen, man.

This is another episode of a million-dollar's worth a game, Ben the Spotlight, and it's just like that right let me ask you both a question we come from a different time and I know everybody like a lot of artists today not saying anybody but a lot be like fuck the DJ we don't need to DJ we don't need to go to the radio station do you think going to the radio station
Starting point is 01:23:26 fucking with the DJs fucking with the personalities matter oh yeah 100% for me especially you know like I said I learned that from from being here where DJs were damn near probably most important they was more important than the radio station you know what i'm saying and and it's still that way you know i feel like you know this younger generation they don't they don't care to know who is playing their records but i say this all the time i never seen niggas online get happy when they records show up on the playlist i seen niggas make videos on the highway and jump out of the car when their songs come on on the radio yeah to this day not not not old, I'm talking about to this day, young
Starting point is 01:24:11 niggas, when they hear their songs on the radio That was real. Right now. And yes, in this era, jump out the car, get their homeboy to film them, dancing around on the highway with their song playing on the radio. It's a different type of energy,
Starting point is 01:24:27 and it's a different type of mentality that you get when you hear yourself. I only know how they feel in other places, though. Like, I built everything in my city without the radio. Like, without relationship. relationships with the people because they never played the shit I make. I don't make nothing that they would ever play.
Starting point is 01:24:44 This is my first time having something that they might fuck with. I don't even know what they're really going to do. But everywhere else, I feel it. So I feel what you're saying, but I also understand the motherfuckers who don't fuck with them because they still become millionaires without doing it. Like, I'm proof of that. But fucking with you is showing me like the impact of doing it that way. But you know, when we finish this song, you said, you said, you said, you said, you
Starting point is 01:25:08 I told him, I stepped that shit I'm about to just order some calls. Like, this is one of the ones that do all that shit I ain't never want to do. Like, that's how it happened. No, no, when you say you were going to try to do it, you know what I'm saying? You're saying, hey, order some cars and say something.

Starting point is 01:26:25 I'm a shout out Swiss, man, because this car was inspired by Swiss. Because Swiss back in the day, you had a fucking Cadillac pickup truck not the caddy pickup no a fucking pickup truck where you put a catty grill on the front of another fucking car like in real I was fucked up about that

Starting point is 01:28:52 I forget what guest it was, but he smoked the weed. Kev, you got it on camera. He's in one of our episodes. It was Rob 49. His people said, I feel it in my eyes, man. Oh, you're the boy that was sitting on the size of people.
Starting point is 01:29:07 That's good fucking weed. Go ahead. There you go. No, that's it. That's legit. You feel it right up. The only time you felt something in your eye when Lou with the dead eye socked the shit out of you and you rolled him under that car back in the day.
Starting point is 01:29:17 I ain't going to front. You felt it right in his eyes. Now, listen. He points that to continue. I'm going to tell you something. Lou was a bad motherfucker though. He got bad at me because I ain't helping. I was like, I see Lou sock you.

Starting point is 01:29:59 I'm real good on packaging Because the way I look at Cannabis I look at All right this is how I look at I look at cannabis. The cannabis inside of, as like an artist. I look at that as the music.
Starting point is 01:30:10 And I look at the packaging as the merch. So I'm caught up in the mirror. I'm like, yo, look at that. Get that right there. That's what happened to everybody. Because of the packaging of them bags, especially when it's a thick packaging, the shit that's not cheap.
Starting point is 01:30:20 I'm like, Cuzz, get this. There's some good weed. He's going to back. That's shit bullshit, man. This shit, 14% man. I said, no, that's some good shit. I don't know. I'm just thinking like.
Starting point is 01:30:31 You just figured if they went through all that trouble to put it inside of that. This shit costs money. This is good weed. It's cheaper to get all that package and then to grow some good weed. Then to put the technology into growing some good shit. Because I don't want to, like, I don't want to say, I'm never going to say nobody's name. But it was, it was, first of all, I learned this.

I'm saying, I just feel like. you know making better music is just the key you know what I mean that's that's that's that's my answer to everybody and when you say making it that's a good way to tap dance around it man oh yeah I got a tap dance around this you know because they got mad at me when I said the thing about female rap before oh I ain't never hear what you said I said I said somebody asked me which female that I think was trying to be the best rapper and I said I don't really hear females trying to be best rappers I said it sound like they all work
Starting point is 01:35:33 at the strip club and they went crazy on my head like JD you call all female rapper strippers and I'm like no there's the music in the sound is that is that is that so you're hearing that Miami sound that
Starting point is 01:35:47 that Luke Skywalker sound you're saying coming out of their music yeah but but I but I you know I was answering the question though because I come from an era where Moni Love was trying to be like the best rapper Latifah was trying to be
Starting point is 01:36:02 the best rapper. I'm see like best rapper. Anne Quinnett was trying to rap. Yeah, Roxanne Chante. Foxy Brown, Foxy Brown, little Kim,
Starting point is 01:36:09 to me, they was rapping. Then I signed one, the first female rapper to ever go platinum is on So, so, so death.
Starting point is 01:36:17 The brack. So I don't, that's a rap. Niggas can't, I can't dislike female rap because I've made it possible for females
Starting point is 01:36:25 to rap. Talk heavy. With her, you know what I'm saying? So with that being said, I come from a place where a female will go
Starting point is 01:36:36 toe to toe with some niggas. You're ready to go head up with any nigger. You're right. Now, I want to say this, though. I understand that statement, but it is, it is, it is some females.
Starting point is 01:36:46 You're going to receive a few emails, my boy. It is females out here making music outside. Nicky rap. Yeah, but no, I'm not just talking me, I'm talking about I'm just saying. Nick, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki. Yeah, man, by the way,
Starting point is 01:36:57 Nicky West and Hoove, I think on a monster. That's what Nikki, that's what Nikki, Nicky understood that, by the way. She come from an era where that's what matters rapping. I think the New York energy of women was different anyway. They're more harder and they're not playing anyway.
Starting point is 01:37:14 I mean, for me, for me, like even when I deal with brat, when I was making Brad record, Brad record was the hardest record for me to ever make because I couldn't figure out how, what you just sang, I couldn't figure out how I was going to get my homeboys to listen to my music
Starting point is 01:37:29 that I was making with a female. And I, and I, and I, and I, set with this forever trying to figure out, like, what is it, what sound can I make to make these niggas like her? And it wasn't about the sound. It was about her rapping. It was about, they're going to respect her once she starts spitting these lyrics because niggas respect rapping. And you can't, you know, at some point you got to let go of, if it's a male or a female and just pay attention to how niggas is putting these words together, right? and that's what happened with the Bratt when niggas seen Bratt in
Starting point is 01:38:03 Chris Crosse video The Bomb When she came out in that video I seen people reaction to her lyrics And I was like Oh, okay I gotta make records
Starting point is 01:38:18 That make her just rap It ain't about me trying to make no dance Music, it ain't about And I feel like I feel like we've yet to see that In this era of female rap Really I see what
Starting point is 01:38:30 What the girls from Memphis is doing? They're doing what they're supposed to be doing. Like what you said, pay attention to your era. I mean, your area. I love what they're doing because they're paying attention to what happens in their hood and how they get down. But where's this other era, you know? The what, what, like what Nikki New Record is doing? She rapping on that motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:38:52 She rap. You made me pay attention to that shit. She's rapping on that motherfucker. And you know what I believe, too, though. That first verse on that song, she's going to fuck off. I believe there is women out here that can rap on that level you're talking about
Starting point is 01:39:05 they're trying to rap but the agenda is not pushing them if they're not talking about some ass shit, some titty, you know. So you got women that can bar that got bars. You got that. It's just that they're not being amplified
Starting point is 01:39:17 because it's like there's one song that's on this shit on some super whatever you might do. Because if I'm coming from the bottom and I'm a girl and I can't get some shit that's catchy
Starting point is 01:39:28 that can catch on TikTok or Instagram or Twitter something to go viral then it's not like back in the day whereas though you could be Lauren Hill bump into somebody you could get signed they could put you
Starting point is 01:39:44 out you could blow you got really you know you got to really blow from home this year but that's the thing I'm saying when I said we're out here working I want the motivation I want people to understand those roles are not closed man you know they're in there though no they're not when when if you're a rapper
Starting point is 01:39:59 if you're a real rapper and you're in a city I don't know what your city looks like but I'm saying my city right it's places where you can go as a real rapper it might not be
Starting point is 01:40:11 Phillips Arena right it might not like me state form arena it might not be the biggest places in Atlanta but it's places
Starting point is 01:40:17 where you can go where you can get that rap shit off so people can start respecting you as a rapper and all you know a hundred people
Starting point is 01:40:24 can turn it to a thousand people yeah you just got to be you got the one take you you got to want to do that You can't worry about what nobody else's doing. I heard about other people progress, bro.
Starting point is 01:40:35 Like, in that microwave, they're working fast. They're doing that shit on the phone. If you're going to watch them, then you're going to go crazy. Yeah. I mean, anything possible for me, you know, I just think that, you know, we living in a time where that type of rap not really is not the thing with the youth, with the owners of tomorrow. You feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:40:54 But you got niggas like, you know, Brazil the gang who pulled it off. they come and they slide in because it's still an audience for that shit you got Larry June you got a move these dudes is doing shows around the country selling out merch selling out cannabis like doing meat I'm trying to get in the bag
Starting point is 01:41:11 independent kids that it's still kids that look at the other that's like man y'all all just fuck with that because it's still niggas that won't be different right absolutely you know what I'm saying that they all just end up just making they all make their own subcultures and support the shit that they like
Starting point is 01:41:27 you know what I'm saying and they make them motherfuckers just as rich you know what I'm saying like they made they fucking made us just as rich to make sure we can compete and never had the switch and sound like that other shit you know what I'm saying right they take care your family's take care you but I think I think I think still in all I think what what young people that don't probably know about this is that you still have to go to you got to find out about what it is that you that it is that you doing if you want to be in their world you got to go to their world right we went to Larry June listening to party the other
Starting point is 01:41:57 night and what I was doing while I was in there was looking around to see if I seen me I know the niggas is supposed to be there I was trying to see the niggas that that compete with what I do and that's in the same world that I'm in I ain't none of them niggas was there right I'm seeing and one none of them there
Starting point is 01:42:15 right that's that's what I'm saying if you're going to do that it's there for you to be for it to be done but you got to go over there you can't do it from where we at right and think that you gonna play in they field right they're going they ain't gonna let you in if you're from over here
Starting point is 01:42:29 and you ain't fucking with them you gotta go over there right so I'm saying if it's a female rapper that wanna rap she gotta go where that's happening at like this niggas out here that got battles
Starting point is 01:42:38 and you got to get into all that you gotta battle if you ain't ready for that like that's what I was trying to do in a rap game when I was doing that TV show I was trying to make sure let these
Starting point is 01:42:46 to let young people know at home and on the show that if you want to be in this I don't know what route you want to take but at some point you might have to battle
Starting point is 01:42:56 at some point you're going to do live shows at some point you're going to do you're going to figure out how to dress right that's what the whole show was about and I gave that was their assignments and you people saw that that was because that's what I know right when I came to
Starting point is 01:43:11 like I said when I came when we came here to Philly to work with Chris Cross nobody understood what I was doing with these kids right and you know shout out to Joe Butcher Charles, Joe
Starting point is 01:43:25 Charles Schultz. Charles Schultz. Chris Schwartz. Chris Schwartz. And, you know, the whole Studio 4 was a place just for hip-hop history
Starting point is 01:43:38 for y'all to know. It was a place. Yeah, Cyprus Hill. Yeah, Sykes Hill. Tim Dogg. Man, it was just a hip-hop place, right? We was there looking and it was just like,
Starting point is 01:43:50 damn, this shit is crazy. And we're seeing all these people. But you learn. You start learning like, okay, Jermaine, you know you ain't supposed to be after midnight, but you're supposed to be there if you want to be in this shit, you got to see it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:44:03 I had no real reason to be there. I wasn't getting paid. Nobody, you know what I mean? Nobody didn't know who I was, but I was there soaking it up. And you have to soak this shit up if you want to be in it. I get it. What you're saying is you had to be in there
Starting point is 01:44:15 to hear how them songs hit. Yeah, you got to. This is what they like? Yeah. They liked it that. Okay. The high hit. Do you like the day?
Starting point is 01:44:21 And by the way, I'm thinking the same way Females probably was thinking at the time Because he's a kid group No kids was out in hip hop No kids And How do I get these 11 and 12 year old kids To compete with a currency
Starting point is 01:44:38 In his mind, they can't And everybody else's mind That was that age Looking at these kids Fuck them little niggas Right I'm like Nah we got to come out with a record
Starting point is 01:44:50 That comes on and it sounds like it's supposed to be played with this nigger record I'm listening to a tough crew I'm gonna say I'm listening to her 80s and all of this shit and I'm like man I gotta make records that sound like this
Starting point is 01:45:04 I gotta learn how to chop samples I gotta nobody was telling me nothing but that song did that come from Mike? Yeah did you sample that or did you play? Yeah sampled it oh my God he took a chunk out of that money didn't he
Starting point is 01:45:16 Oh yeah of course but you don't give a fuck when you 719 I don't I don't care I don't know what that means by the way. I ain't made no money for you to take no money, so I don't care what you're going to take the money. I just need to blow. If a nigga tell me he taking some money for me at that age, I'm happy because that means I'm making some money.
Starting point is 01:45:32 Like I almost have made some money. Nicket said me he's going to take some money. Like Easy took two cent out of every record that was made by Chris Crust because I used the boys in the hood. I know that because that felt like a lot to me. Two cent did? It did
Starting point is 01:45:47 because once they got the $8 million, I'm like damn. was easy he hard to deal with no he was easy he's like i didn't need two cents i mean you know he was just about his business he's about like i said i'm at this age i'm young i'm the whole album is samples i ain't i don't know no plan nothing because like i said i'm also i'm really really hip-hop and i'm really thinking like instruments is whack i don't want to play guitars keyboards none of this i don't want to hit none of that shit on my records i'm all about the turntables and digging
Starting point is 01:46:21 in these crates. That's all I was thinking about. Right? So that's why, like today they asked me when we're doing the interview, is this record that we're doing, me trying to prove a point. And I'm like, no, this is me just letting people know. This is what I really know how to do. I make
Starting point is 01:46:37 R&B records just trying to do it and it happened to work. And I figured out, let me try to do the same thing I did the first time and repeat it. But rap I sit around all day and sample records and make songs not put the songs out
Starting point is 01:46:53 make another song hold the hook whatever I just do it that's just what I grew up doing that's major now now now you're excited about this album I am and what do y'all feel is going to do within the game
Starting point is 01:47:09 um I feel like motherfogethers who wasn't fucking with with shit I was doing and probably like just aware of it, but they wasn't really tapping in, they're going to give it a listen
Starting point is 01:47:23 this time. That's what I think for show. That's beautiful. I mean, but we're going on tour. We're going to, you know, we got, our first show was on April 7 in Atlanta, three days after the album come out. So, you know, and the way we talk about doing the show,
Starting point is 01:47:38 I think that's going to change hip-hop. That's going to change what y'all, this whole conversation about what y'all been talking about when we first came in here. Yeah.
