We don't do no script.
We'd be right up the top.
That was sweet.
I'm like, where's the TV?
I'm like, we're going right there.
Wow.
Now, this is how I go, Wiss.
I'm in the penitentiary.
I'm the greatest for a penitentiary
and greatest for Pennsylvania.
My homeboy, shout out to D. Black.
You know who you are.
You always brought me that real stuff.
He said, yo, you got to listen to this tape because we had tapes.
We used to have the transfer CDs to tapes because we still had tape cassettes in prison.
We didn't have.
So he said, listen to it.
I listened to it.
Long-ass tape.
It was you, currency, cushion orange juice on there.
And then he had some hit one of his albums on the other side, whatever.
I listened to this shit.
I'm like, damn, then I start reading about you.
Yep.
I get on the phone one time.
I'm on phone with Gil.
Cosmic Cab.
You remember I told you this, DJ Cosmic Kev.
I say, yo, man, he put me on you.
You got to bring, I said, you got to bring
Wiz Khaliva.
This is the strongest nigga in Pennsylvania right now.
You got to bring him to the come-up show.
I'm in the prison.
He's talking with him, man, what you?
I said, nigga, I'm telling you, this nigga doing college shows.
This when you was doing college shows.
Yeah, yeah.
He was fucking the college is up.
Crazy.
Running around, I'm talking about killing the college campuses.
I'm talking about, I'm not talking about HBCUs.
I'm talking about every college.
He was fucking shit up.
So I'm telling him, he's like, what?
I said, man, get him.
Then, like, a month and a half later,
you was on a come-up show.
Yeah, yeah.
This was back then.
So I've seen you, I've seen you just take this shit to another level.
I'm listening to your tapes in jail.
I'm like, yo, this is this shit.
It's crazy because being from Pittsburgh, a lot of people don't know how rough it is out there.
It's serious.
And I was always different.
I was always just into music and, you know what I mean?
But I had a lot of cousins in the streets and a lot of my homies is locked up.
And you know what I mean?
You probably same.
I was in jail with all them, Garfield, Holwood, the Hill.
Shout out to all you all, man.
A lot of them.
Shout out their old Pittsburgh, man.
A lot of niggas.
You know what I'm saying?
So as my music was moving up from the street level,
a lot of my niggas was in jail and they were like,
yo, this is my little homie, like, blah, blah,
or as my shit became more popular,
they were like, yo, that's my niggas.
So it kind of was able to spread that way.
I got a lot of niggas who heard my music in jail,
and I'm not even a jail type of niggas,
but just bars, you know what I'm saying?
And yeah, exactly.
And that time, it was different from music, too.
So my style was a little bit different
and the things I was saying was a little bit different.
but just on a musical aspect,
I feel like we always just try to stay relevant
to people who matter, you know what I'm saying?
And it was good to get that type of response
from motherfuckers like all over in life.
You know what I'm saying?
Not just stoners, not just college kids,
not just street niggas, not just chicks.
But it was like a, I always had like a well-rounded fan base.
I was blessed with that.
Yeah, yep.
You got somebody in Pittsburgh.
I love this fucking guy, man.
I don't know if you know him.
He's a fucking star.
His name Lou.
Ratchet.
Lou Ratchet, yeah, yep.
Shout out to Lou Ratchie.
You know, he looked like Gil's son.
Yeah, Lou Ratch is crazy, bro.
That motherfucker's crazy.
He's a start-up.
Yeah, yeah.
Put babies on me.
Yeah, I think when you ran through doing tours back in the day, you might have
blazed somebody.
Like, he lou, shout out to Lou Ratch.
Keep doing your thing.
His motherfucker's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, what up?
I've seen you glow up, too.
Yeah.
I mean, you came a long way from rapping with your uncle
Muhammad, you know, with the mammals.
Yeah.
The mammals, baby.
The mammals.
He didn't think I knew about that.
But no, the globe is real
And one thing I can
Say that
The consistency is real
Yeah, good look
I just always
Like I said, I love music
And there's a lot of talent in Pittsburgh
A lot of
Mac Miller did his thing
Right
Rest in peace
We were signing Jimmy Wapo
Before he
For he
You know
And then just even before me
And now
There's like fed the God
There's a lot of
A Hardo
Yeah
Hardo's been doing a
There's a lot of female emcees out there as well.
There's a lot of producers as well
who've been doing their thing and are doing their thing.
So, music, I mean, Pittsburgh is really, really talented musically.
And that's always been my motivation is just, like, staying in the pulse.
Like, I love being able to walk outside and people be banging my shit.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it feels good, and that's kind of what you do it for,
as well as trying to uplift people, make them feel good.
But at the end of the day, you just want people to go crazy.
And that's always been what the reception was in Pittsburgh.
Like when I was a young nigga, I was just doing mixtapes
and niggas didn't really know who I was.
I was right there in the mix with everybody else.
It wasn't like I was, you know, all of like away from them or ahead of them.
I kind of had to separate myself and take it to the next level on my own.
But, you know, the competition was always there.
And it made me into somebody who I really just don't stop.
I never see the finish line.
Yeah, well, you know, like, what was it the point of, because from, you know,
because Cushing Orange was just a fucking classic mixtape.
This before, you understand, you, you was in the game right around the time when
mixtapes would be coming mixtapes.
Right.
You know, it wasn't, you know, because our mixtapes was a DJ, I have a bunch of mixed
songs and different artists on it, then y'all came out.
Uh-huh.
When, after that, black and yellow, you know, when did you know it was, this shit was on
another level?
And it was, it was bigger than just being rap.
It was taking, it was, it was going outside of that.
It was going out.
Yeah.
So, so for me, it happened in stages and shit.
So I got my first deal, uh, when I was like 19 and I first left high school and
shit.
And I came out here to L.A.
And I was sign of Warner Brothers.
And that was more like the corporate side of things where I, I seen like, you know,
you want to wait for the plane.
No, it's cool.
We're at L-A-X shooting.
We shoot right up, right, right.
LAX is right on right here.
I'm a professional.
They can hear that shit.
All right, cool.
So yeah.
So I, I see more like the, like the, like the, the ends and now.
like the radio game and going to the offices and trying to pitch, you know, singles and
I got my first video set and I seen my stylist for the first time.
So it's like I got that part of the game, but it didn't really last long because I only
had one single and they didn't sign me back for my album.
So when I went back to Pittsburgh, I probably had like 30 grand in my pocket.
So I was like, it's not really about the money.
I'm going to try to like get my influence out there.
And the main thing I did was just tapped into the internet at that time.
Twitter was brand new.
There was a couple cats on YouTube
who I looked up to,
Gil being one of them,
just from the DVD era
because that's what happened
before the mixtapes
and all of that shit.
It was DVDs.
Like, niggas had screens
in their cars and you would put
the DVD on
and they would play all types
of little hood shit
and there would be music videos
in between
or like freestyles
and this nigga would be on there
going crazy,
you'd be smoking weed
and it was just all the shit
that I was into.
It was like,
that's the attitude
that I wanted to bring
to the game
where it was like,
we don't give a,
fuck like we just show you what's going on right here right there and there like if i'm in the
booth and i'm breaking down some weed in the joint i want you to record it i want you to see it
and then you know uh the reaction started getting really good from the fans because
they were just really into seeing me making songs and seeing me working on a whole mix tape and
following me through the project day to day exactly so that's what i don't know for those
that don't know day to day is it like it's it is a blueprint of what artists supposed to be doing
the day. If you're an artist, everybody want to describe to your TV show. Your TV show is
your vlogging on YouTube. And shout out to Lil Yadi. Little Yaddy gave you your props. I said,
damn, because one of my favorite shows on YouTube is The Boat Show by Lil Yaddy. I said, man, I love
you. He said, man, I got that from Witt Wizz was doing the joint day to day. And I got it
from Wizz. And I just do it. And I don't think, and I don't think as an artist, your fans,
your supporters, they want to see the process. Yeah, absolutely. They want to know what type of
When you smoke weed and you go to the store,
you munchies, what you eat?
Absolutely.
Show your shit if you're an artist.
Stop.
Stop.
You know, people want to see your life and bring them into your world.
You're a TV show.
Yeah, absolutely, man.
Day to day did so much for me in my career.
And it's done a lot for other people, too.
Kids run up on, not kids, but like fucking artists younger than me,
they always run up on me.
Bro, I was watching your day to days.
I was rolling up, watching that shit.
And to be here with you now is like, it's like a sign that, you know what I mean?
So it's cool.
as hell because that's that's what I did that shit for just to uplift motherfuckers the way that I was
uplifted as well and it was my journey and you know people got to follow me and that's what I really
realized it was real it wasn't about money or it wasn't about anything it was about me being able
to tap in use my creativity and my craft and you know go anywhere in the fucking world with it
uh I went to Brazil I went to fucking Taiwan or Thailand or wherever I've been all over the place
And it's been based off of those videos
Off of smoking weed
Off of getting tattoos
And you know
Just kids wanting to party with me and shit
And then you know
The bars are there
The work is there
They always see me in the studio
I bring the studio with me
Everywhere that I go
I bring my homies with me
Everywhere that I go
So it's like a vibe
They understand
That it's family
It's work
It's branding
And you know
That's when I seen
Everything kind of working
In my favor
To the
I'm sorry
I'm gonna let that go back
That's a real one
Mm-hmm
That's the 757 part right there.
Yeah, that's a real one.
Yeah, I would say...
Yeah, right.
Smokefest in here.
I would say that's when I started seeing shit
working to my favor where it didn't matter
if I was in a building or not
or if I had, you know, this person working my project.
I was like, I know what's best for me more than anything.
So this is the direction that I'm moving in
and I was getting hell of money off the shows
and stuff like that.
So, you know, it was around that time period
where, you know, mixtapes were taken off.
And at that time,
the control of music had left the record label.
Like, they had no control over what was hot
because their radio artists were not fucking with us at all
on the underground level.
They weren't selling more tickets.
They weren't more popular.
They weren't selling more merch or anything.
And that's when the shift happened
because they were like, how do we sign them
and get them to work for us
so we could get back in control?
And, you know, it was a process of, you know,
getting to streaming and doing all of that stuff
and just basically putting everything
and making it all one, again, like a 360, they restructured that now.
So streams and views and merch and all of that shit is calculated in it.
And it took eight, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But when I came in the game, it really wasn't like that.
Like, it was the beginning of all of that.
So, right.
Yeah, yep.
One thing I commend you on, because most youngans, when they come in the game,
their attitude is like, it's all about the young niggas, the young niggas, we next.
You know what I mean?
And it's kind of like a rebellion, a rebellion.
type of thing against the old heads and motherfuckers that came before him.
Right.
But you came in on some smart shit.
Like you came in, you did your thing, you connected with Snoop.
You said, oh, no, Snoop got a fan base that I need to tap into.
Right.
He smokes weed.
That's what he's known for.
He's known for being the smoke godfather.
I'm known for being the smoke, the nephew of the smoking shit.
Right.
y'all got together one on tour
did a whole bunch of shit together
yeah yeah and I commend you for that
because most young motherfuckers don't got that mindset
yeah they got the mindset of
oh he he old man
he was out with my pop was right
I ain't and
you didn't have that mindset I just think
like honestly because I'm right in the middle
or that in between it it's like
anybody who speaks like that
they just miss that greatness
and you know I was
was a part of that shit. You know what I mean? Like, I rode around in my car and listened to Doggy
Style and like I watched backstage and, you know, concerts with, uh, with him and Eminem and
and Dr. Dre and all of that shit. All that's up and smoke. Up and smoke. I seen free, like,
freestyles of him on the bus with his afros. So it was like, when it came time to meet it,
for me to meet him, I'm like, yo, I love this nigga already. These kids, not I don't even
want to call him these kids, but, you know, the people that you speak of who really, you
don't acknowledge that, they missed that.
They didn't go through that.
They didn't have that, that same spark, that same energy and shit.
So it doesn't mean the same to them, and it's hard to explain to them what it means.
You know what I mean?
And, like, the way that the internet moves is so fast, like, they really didn't have no
time to do that homework.
Like, I'm a young nigga, but I went back and did my homework.
I listened to all the classic albums because that's just what you had to do at that time.
You couldn't fucking talk to no way.
about rap music if you didn't know
certain shit. Because you would get talked bad
to and you would look crazy. It's not the
same. Like, niggas ain't really tripping off of that
shit no more. So it's like
for somebody to try to go in on somebody
like that, you look more crazy trying to talk to
them than they look for not knowing.
Absolutely. And I completely
understand that. You know what I mean? But I do
give them the time to actually experience
it. And when they do experience it, they're going to go
through the same shit that we all went through. This episode
of Million dollars worth of game is born to you
by New Hampshire Damn Vaca.
Now, uh, life ain't going your way.
Shout a new Amsterdam.
Uh, you caught your bitch cheating a day.
Shot a new Amsterdam.
Uh, uh, you thought your check was in the mail and that motherfucker didn't come your way.
Shot a new Amsterdam.
Now, it's just still five times.
Five, five, right, five, right, five, five.
It's filtered three times.
Three, three, three.
So it's ran through that whole funnel for that clean, Chris finish.
You could drink it straight up.
You know what you can do.
You can drink it on the rocks.
Rocks.
You drink with juice, soda.
You can make a classic New Amsterdam meal, however you want to play it.
But when you're out and about, make sure you pick up some New Hampshire damn vodka.
The official vodka of bar school sports.
Fisian vodka.
And shout out to the New Amsterdam Queen, too.
You know, you'd be at the crib with the girlfriends, just was dead New Year's, you know, sauceing it up.
Stalking it up.
New Amsterdam vodka.
New Hampshire than vodka.
Get you some.
A-sat.
Right.
down to the young artist
that was a whiz
you know
they was in that in that studio
and they're making their mixtable making a black and yellow
trying to make that
and they're from Cincinnati they're from Pittsburgh
they're from Philly they from Trenton
they from Harlem they from Compton
St. Louis
Atlanta
Nashville
what advice do you get them right now
you know about going after this shit
I would say in this time
in this time right now
have as much fun as possible
and try to impress your homies
like if you have friends
hopefully if you have
yeah break that down yeah break that down yeah break that down if you have friends
if you got close friends like this is the way that you guys are cool
and the way that y'all like trip on each other
if he makes something good you're going to tell him
and in his secretly in his head
he's going to be like yo I'm going to make something that
this niggas gonna go crazy about so he can't talk shit on me
so just to having that that good competition
between your homies that elevates you and it makes you better and it makes where you're at more real
right so if you have a good circle of people who bring the best out of you it really don't matter
with the outside fucking you know what I'm saying they're going to buy into that because they believe
y'all and but the key to that is you can't handle yes men around you which camera which camera is
me well that's why I say your homies right but but a lot a lot of niggas homies be yes man especially
when you get famous for me especially for me if I'm talking about you're talking about
I'm not talking about
niggas who be around
I'm talking about your real homies
like you know what I mean like
I know exactly what you mean but a lot
of homies too
they won't tell you some shit is not hot
because they don't want to hurt your feeling
so you'll say what you think about that
no it's cool now when you broke
you feel what I'm saying no niggas
niggas still massage niggas eagles
when they broke bro I
I know the reason why I know is because
I be in a studio around a young
niggas and
a nigger are going there
and lay a verse and he
would come out the motherfucking booth
and his homies would be like, yeah, you killed
that shit. And I'm like
every last one of you niggas
is lying, man.
But in this day and age, he probably did
kill that shit. He didn't really. No, I listen
to this thing. No, but to you, he didn't
kill it. But to them niggas, he murdered
that shit. No, he did it. He was
of course, you're allowed to have
your opinion. You got that because you got an old ear.
You're allowed to have your opinion.
Like me.
Bro, I'm not supposed to like it.
I listen to all young niggas, bro.
If his homies like it, you know, you only listen to dirt.
You're lying, bro.
You're lying, bro.
You don't fucking listen.
Like me, Wiz, I would tell his name.
I told this nigga he was trash.
The fucking bum-ass rapper.
See, I'm a real homie.
Gilly's hard.
But why he had a picture of me on his wall?
I had a fucking picture you.
Gilly just still be done.
Gilly caressed.
He's got he's got hella charisma, bro.
No, no, no.
He's very believable.
He was a D-less rapper.
You don't have got niggins that never, you all keep hyping this.
No, I just, you're lucky I ain't your homie.
Yeah, he a hater, though.
He's just mad because he missed the ride, you know.
See, me, I'm the type of nigger, and I tell all my homies, I like trash shit.
Like, it could be fucking trash.
I like it, though, because I see the art and the vision.
You say trash.
No, there's some shit that I've listened to.
It's been complete trash.
But I'll admit that I like it, though.
Because, because of it.
No, I got some shit that's completely trashed that I like.
That's what I'm saying.
But we live in a time now where it's, though,
you can't really say with trash because the ears change.
It's different ears.
To me, trash is lacking quality.
Thank you.
But if it's marketable, that's not trash.
No, what I'm saying is,
I can see something that's marketable.
What I'm saying is, right.
This dude who was rapping is like,
because now they don't separate who got talent from who you.
don't got talent.
Were they high?
You feel what I'm saying?
How high were they?
Like back in the day, back in the day, we understood that, bro, you don't got no talent.
100%.
I used to tell you that.
It's not for you, bro.
Yeah, get out the booth.
That's why you're taking you off the song.
Like, your verse is not going on there.
This generation encouraged niggas to rap just because they're hanging around.
I mean, you might as go ahead and live, dude, you might as well.
You ain't, dog, he don't got no talent.
First of all, if you tell a niggas...
You can't tell a nigger that.
You feel what I'm saying, but you can't hate it.
This day, you can't...
It's sad because we live in a time now where's, though.
You can't do that.
Everybody is ultra-emotional.
Exactly.
If you say, dog, that shit you got on that shit look goofy.
100%.
You hate on me, man.
This nigga hate knowing me.
This nigga don't want to see me when.
Baby.
Bro, it's just not it.
Babe, I'm just saying this is goofy.
It's true.
We grew up a little bit different.
But, but times changed.
Times changed.
Because we're saying, this is what dude's got to understand.
Older niggas got to understand something that's real important.
I'm not talking about my cousin.
I'm just talking about people in general.
Your time was your fucking time.
It's their time.
So shit that might be, that might was cool in your time,
that shit might be dated and it might be irrelevant in this time
until their outlook of what fly is or what cool is or what hot music is.
Right.
My thing is, I'm not trying to be the nigger who,
not even I, I'm not trying to be the nigger who's wrong.
But it just don't feel good telling the nigger he can't do.
some shit and he actually do it.
Yeah. Because you would do anything. You could do it. You could
really do it. But let's be for real, bro.
It's just, you're not going to tell me
that you in the studio session.
A nigger go in the studio,
he don't got the look
for what he's rapping about, so that's
not marketable. He don't
have no flow,
no cadence. The concept.
He don't have nothing
to what he's doing.
But niggas out there like,
no if you do that line over
no if he get the fuck out the booth
what the fuck are y'all talking about
it's phototype listen
they're looking at prototypes of the people they already seen
that fit everything you said they ain't got to look
they shit is all beat they are all over the place
and they go so they're looking at like boo-boo went
crazy mic went little doodle went
little shitty went he's popping
I could be popping bro so
so now you can't be telling a nigga the thing about it too is
you don't have to fucking like that shit
they got kids
who love them
and they talk to them every day
and that's who's going to yeah
but at the end of the day
it's not
see
it's some
it's people
and that's not even
nothing personally
against you
no I know
it's people that slip through the crack
but it's
it's a lot of people
more rappers
more bullshit rappers
who don't make it
then do make it
and it's
the numbers of bullshit rappers
that don't make it
is extraordinary
extremely higher than the
number of bullshit rappers that
make it. So let's not
push, let's not push a bullshit
narrative. Oh, you're a shitty
rapper, you got a chance.
That's not true. No, no, I'll tell you.
The reality of this shit
is you'll probably go end up
you're in the security at Ross.
The shittier you are, the more chance you have.
No, no, but see, a shitty rapper, but listen.
You're absolutely wrong. But just the twist.
That group, that group,
Listen, that group of shitty rappers that didn't make it, he's the leader of it.
You didn't make it.
You was a shitty rapper.
You was a fucking hype man for Lil Wayne and a weed roller.
Yo.
This nigga ain't made it.
So don't pay him no attention.
Who to call him a weed roller, bro?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Anytime you made an abundance of money from rap, you made it.
What do you talk about?
It is either you make money off a rap.
You was rapping for weed and beer.
You was rapping at bars, bro
For fucking, fucking 2-Elevens and shit
You dranking 2-11s
And people give me you weed
Come on, you gonna come through
Jump on this verse
Alright, give me your A for weed
You wasn't doing that
What you fucking you're talking about
Hey, let me tell you something
Let me tell you something
You know
One time I was in Pittsburgh
You're the most popular rapper that didn't make it
I swear you is
I took an A for a verse before
See?
Well, he's been doing that shit
His old grill
He's still busing move
Shit
I used to have to
I used to have to do verse.
Yeah, yep.
I used to have to do verses.
One time my man went to jail, we was on the road,
and I had to, like, spend the bail money, I mean,
spend the show money to get him out.
And we had no money to get to the next city.
So I got on Twitter and was like,
yo, I'm in this city.
Hit me up for verses, blah, blah, blah.
It said nothing.
Made all the money, travel, got to the next city for the tour.
That's when the internet was real early, bro.
Yeah.
Real shit.
You still fuck with Twitter?
I still fuck with Twitter.
What's more powerful, Twitter or Instagram for you?
They both are
Honestly
I'm actually starting
To engage more on Instagram
Because I'm not even going to lie
I got to a point where I thought I was fucking cool
You wasn't on here
I was just like posting that
You was not on there
And shit like that
Yeah
But that's not the wave
It really isn't
I like the sincerity of that
Yeah
Because most rappers
To sit up here
And they won't tell the truth
Nah
You know what I mean
And I respect the fact that you said
I thought I was cool
Yeah
I was on some dumb shit
Yeah
That's not the wave
like get the fuck on the gram
promote what you got going to fuck
promote that shit all the time because I got a lot
of businesses and shit like that so I would just
like tag the businesses and stuff like that
and not even that
whiz right
the thing is what you got to understand
is right
you got into this shit
because you love this shit
for sure right
then a lot of times
artists get money and
you know they get the fame and
they go on a thousand shows
and fucking 50 tours
and they get a little content
but the reality of this shit is
it's a kid right now in Pittsburgh
in Minnesota
in Philadelphia
in Dubuque, Iowa
in California, Houston
who was
10 years old
listening to black and yellow, black and yellow,
back in yellow.
And they're trying to be the new Wiz, Khalif.
Because they're 20 now.
You feel what I'm saying?
They're 20, they 21, they 22.
And the less work you put in, the more they get to come into the game.
Yeah.
You feel what I'm saying?
Hell yeah.
Because, you know, artists a lot of times fall back and they don't give their audience
the attention and the proper attention and the proper.
neglect their audience
If somebody else come
You know how you see an artist is like
Similarly you're like
Yo he reminds me in
Yeah
People's like like yo he
Weird's remind me of Snoop
You know what I mean
I think there's layers to that too
Because it happens intentionally
Because when
You are an artist
You want to change right
You don't want to do the same things
That you started out doing
Right
So what happens immediately
Is they go get the other version of you
That will do it
So that's the first thing that happens while you're, you know what I'm saying, in the middle of it.
And then the second thing that happens, either you get content or where I've found myself is trying to figure shit out to where you still play ball like on a business end and you still control things the way that you want to control it.
but being a pioneer and having to change things.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's like, what is the appropriate change?
And how does that change even look?
And when you first start, you can't do the same things that you did when you came into the game.
You can't be a young nigga.
I fucking hate when artists, like, say niggas is like, oh, yeah, I miss old whiz, blah, blah, blah.
And I fucking cut my hair and put a blonde patch back in my head.
That's the worst thing I can fucking.
do ever. I hate when people do
that shit. Because it's like you already
done that. You got to take people forward. You can't
be scared. But there's a
process. There's a time limit. There
is an engagement. There's a
there's a lot of
things that go into it. You got to align
your team. You got to get your team ready for
that shit too. And it's like
What is the team for these people that don't
know? Team is visual. You got to have
you know, visuals. Yeah, content
got to step up. Like whatever
is popular at that time.
You got to be on point when it comes to content.
And just to narrow that down as far as content, what's your brand?
So if you come in and you start with a brand and the content shifts to a whole other market,
do you change your brand or do you find a way to make your brand, you know, marketable to those people as well?
That takes time too.
So changing lanes, you got to switch lanes.
you can't do the same thing over and over and over again.
The things that you, the work that you put in,
it's time for that shit to start paying off for you.
So instead of just rapping about weed,
you got to own some weed.
Instead of just going to the club and buying liquor
and having sessions and having everybody in there
getting fucked up and paying for that shit,
you need to own that shit.
Those are just a few things, you know what I'm saying?
If you party and lifestyle shit,
I own liquor, I own water, I own a gaming team,
I own a fighting league because I work out.
I own, did I say weed already?
What else we got?
I got a jewelry company.
I got Hotbox by Wiz, which is a food delivery company,
an online food company.
That's six right there.
I'm on two of the leading TV shows for this year,
which one is a cartoon,
and another one is a timepiece on Apple Plus.
And that takes time.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
To set that shit up.
Like Time Magazine piece?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
No, I'm sorry.
And what I'm, and the thing is,
he put the rap in, he put the rap in.
Now he's on the companies.
Now he, that's a lot of business you got going on on a day-to-day basis.
And that causes somewhat of the complacency of the rap.
Because when you get in so much money and you got so much business going on and you,
it's like, I just know just now.
reaction from people you know what I'm saying not necessarily seeing you in general I'm
just saying artists in general if I don't agree with that because if you're 10 12 years in
the game that's I related to like sports right you're just not the same athlete that you were
back in the day you're at a different point in your career but okay you're right but if you
prime example you got athletes to be 10 12 years 13 years 13 years
years in the game, but they still wake up every day and put that same grind in.
That's why they able to play those extra two, three years that they probably wouldn't have
been able to play if they wouldn't have put the grind in.
I could see if you're talking about somebody who doesn't work, like who doesn't go to the
studio and doesn't write or doesn't, you know, put other projects out and shit like that.
Yeah, no, I'm not necessarily talking about you.
I'm saying I'm talking about artists.
But that's what I'm saying.
Artists in general a lot of times.
I'm speaking from just a different point of view
because I think it's really easy to pin that on the artist
and be like, oh, he got money.
Now he don't care about rap.
That's not always the case.
I'm just saying it's not your first priority like it was when
you were just dependent on rap to eat.
Not even that.
That's not the case.
You feel what I'm saying?
That's not the case.
That's really not the case.
Let me ask you a question.
You said, you write your shit?
Yeah, yep.
Oh, you write on that?
pen and paper.
Oh, shit.
You know, I know.
I'm just saying for some, for, it's easy to be like, yo,
that nigga probably ain't even in the studio every day or he's so busy,
blah, blah, blah, this, that and the other thing.
It's niggers where it's not, that's not the case.
It is niggas where it's not the case, but there's a lot of niggas where that is the case.
Whereas though they, I'm going to get to it.
But why are we talking about them?
No, I'm just saying because what, what we was talking about was when,
how not to become them?
And the artists that get lackadaisical is when they allow the young niggas to come in and replace state and take their audience.
That's what we was talking about initially.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's what my point was what I was making.
We were talking about Instagram.
Yeah.
And I was saying I hadn't engaged on Instagram the way that I normally would.
And I was like, I was like.
And a lot of older artists do that as well.
Right.
They don't engage in a social media like this.
To take the point of Instagram and say that a nigger ain't in the studio every day, that ain't me.
No, no, no, no.
See, we hold on.
I just was slacking on Instagram because I didn't give a fuck about the Instagram.
Before we went to Instagram, I made the point of that, see, you smoking that Calipha Cush, you forget your memory.
We're fucking running back.
Yeah, I made the point of, you know, when a lot of artists get older, they kind of get a little lack sedesical and they allow a young member.
said as a young Wiz Khalifa right now.
But I'm just using you as an example.
As a young, all the artists that's, you know,
pushing to the 30 and, you know, 31 and still could do their thing out here,
still in their primes on what, you feel what I'm saying?
It's a young dude that was listening to you when they was 10,
when they was 11, when they, now they're 20.
You feel what I'm saying?
Right.
And now they mimicked you.
They want to be the new Wiz Khalifa.
They want to be the nigger that's known for.
smoking weed. They want to be the new
Jada kiss. They want to be the new
future. They want to be the new, you feel
what I'm saying? Right. And I was saying
the more that the artists
who, you know, who've made the millions,
the more that they fall back,
the more that they allow the
young kids to come in and fulfill
their audience. Just like in
basketball. If you
was putting in work, putting in work, putting
in work, and then you get the year 12 and
it's like, uh, I'm a work out
three times a week instead of six.
times a week, you opening the door up for this young kid.
Is that a problem, though?
No, it's not, because at the end of the day, you cross the finish line.
You got the way you needed to go.
Your family is taking care of for the rest of your life for most of them.
But that means you finish.
That means you finish because you did it, because you let somebody else come up?
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying that you finished, but listen, when I'm saying you finish.
I'm asking.
No, no, listen.
When I'm saying you finish, I'm not saying you finish as far as recording.
I'm saying is you made it past the finish line.
You got your family out the ghetto.
You feel what I'm saying?
You're able to change generations for your kids.
You feel what I'm saying?
So when I'm saying you, I'm not saying as far as the music industry,
I'm saying you made it to the finish line.
Whereas though you've been successful.
Nobody can take that from you.
You feel what I'm saying?
You've been successful.
you probably if you never rapped again you probably don't ever have to rap again so as far as you know what I'm saying you can't do this shit forever like Brian James can be great forever Michael Jordan can be great forever but at some point in their career they crossed the finish line you feel what I'm saying and so that's all I'm saying but you're still young you're still in your prime you know what I'm saying right you're still able to do what you need to do I'm just speaking on how a lot of older artists you know
their careers get cut a little short, maybe a year, two, three short because of the inconsistencies,
because of the lack of the social media push, the lack of providing their audience
what they want to see from that person.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, well, it wasn't nobody coming to take your place because you ain't had no place.
Oh, shut the fuck.
I'm just saying, I'm just putting that out there because you're saying people would be trying to take it.
You just was like a bullshit.
This is a competitive game.
And in this game, everybody is.
It's being getting compared.
Oh, who you think.
Well, it's like what you said is like, who you think,
Little Durk of this person, who you think, little baby.
So this is a competitive sport.
Yeah, well, it's like, it's like what you said where you were like,
like the second coming to Snoop for me.
And it's like, Snoop didn't take his foot off the gas for me to be who I am.
It was just a natural progression.
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
You now in a format and a look.
And he's still hustling and he's still doing what you're doing today.
And that's one motherfucker right there.
I could say he never took his foot off the gas.
Right. That's why at 50 years old, Snoop could be out here.
Make some money going to think.
There's a lot of people where...
And there's a lot of niggas at 50 years old that can't do that.
Right.
You know why?
Because they never kept feet in their audience.
Because when people love you, bro, they'll love you forever long as you make them love you forever.
Yeah.
You feel what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
Because they die hard fans.
Damn, Snoke got a fucking tough.
There's, there's nothing wrong with, like, not, you know, like letting somebody come up.
And it ain't about not letting somebody come up.
You feel what I'm saying?
I'm just saying a lot of young niggins come up easier because older artists don't, they start being lack of days ago.
I just feel, all right, okay.
You feel what I'm saying?
It is a competitive sport.
No, I don't feel what you're saying.
You don't get agree to disagree.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I said.
Okay.
I'm going to say this dope.
It's like, we've sitting here, and when you mentioned Snoop, what fucked me up is
that Snoop got like literally a dub in.
30.
Even more than that.
It's been, yeah, it's been 20 since the 2000s.
Hold up.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, shit.
I'm fucked about the time.
I'm talking about 2012.
Yeah.
That nigga got 30 balling.
Yeah.
You know when a nigga out of prison GED.
No, I'm just saying, listen.
He got 20 in.
For real.
I was the thing.
So, so, so for Snoot and his legs.
Prison GEDA, motherfucker.
He still got legs out this motherfucker.
Yeah, because Snoop always been consistent, bro.
That's just my point right there.
And Snoop always been embracing and welcoming to every generation.
Yes, because when you are older nigger and you're not consistent and you take that lapse and then you try to come back, niggers be less trial.
Oh, he's a nigga ain't.
But when you keep.
feeding them and keep feeding them
it's like you never stop working
you know what I'm saying they always had something
to grass to even if they didn't
like it even if they thought it wasn't your best
work whatever they thought about they
always had something to grass too
but there's some people who want niggas to take
a little bit break and breathe a little bit
there's some people who need four years
there's some people who need to breathe
for their personal time and give
you their best because as
an artist you know what I'm saying
like if you're not in your best
mental state you can't really give anybody else anything and you i look at the extension of my life
or a person's life in general and you really don't start living until like 40 50 years old so
why burn out on all of this material and then in your 40s and 50s not even be able to do nothing
that's why snoop is really doing this thing now because he didn't burn out and a lot of people
don't look at their mental health or their mental state
they look at, oh, I need to be popping
or I need to go on tour
or I need to make some money
which if you ain't right,
you might need two, three years to make some music.
Let me ask you a question though.
You know, in this day and time,
it's like,
like you could be just as relevant
off your content more than the record.
Right.
That's why I say, like,
that's why I say it's not really about
like an artist falling back
and somebody coming up.
It's about what the artist does.
at this point.
Like, there's kids who are unknown who are getting way more streams than vets in this game.
And it's just all because of the climate and the temperature of where we're at.
And if you take one of those vets and try to get them to do what the young kids are doing,
they'll look fucking stupid.
It don't work in reverse.
So you just got to let them think it's do what they do at some point.
And it just is what it is.
Like, sometimes motherfuckers be winning.
What made you keep doing day to day?
mainly because like the comments and what people come up to me and tell me in real life
of how much like my day to days changed their life or if they was about to make a decision
in life they were like yo I watched this day to day or I listened to this album or man I was
in college and I dropped out and became a cameraman or I became a blah blah blah like
just hearing people living their dreams and making important as decisions based off of some
shit that I was just having fun but still putting a lot of creativity
into because I put a lot of energy in the edits and just the whole
texture of it like it really has to come off a certain way so just seeing people
grasping that and knowing how important it is kind of just kept me doing it for
the last I think 10 years now yeah now yeah we've been doing it for like 10 years
you got one how many cameramen the thing about it is I've been shooting it for years
so I had hell a cameraman I had hell a niggas different editing I do my own
edits sometimes so you never know what's going on oh but I'm
saying it's like one camera no oh it don't be no no it's hell of cameras god damn that's like you show
you got like a real a real shit you ain't ever think about taking it to a network i true well i thought
about taking it to the network but it's networks are so structured and i'm not i'm not
really with like watering it down and structuring it and i'll just do a whole totally different
type of show and call it something else but i'm keeping my brand though like you know what i mean
i got to be able to do that what is what is what is the meaning of whiz got wings
Whiz Got Wings
So

Would you, would you, whiz now?
Would you sound a deal?
Me?
I'm meaning as if you coming in the game right now,
you got a chance because you know independent is totally different now.
Oh, yeah.
Is it a big difference?
If I was a young artist, man, it depends, Joe.
it really depends
if I was one of those artists who just had one song
100%
if I was like trying to have
like a lengthy career and make albums
and stuff like that then nah
okay so what advice would you give
to these kids about protecting
themselves going into these situations
most of the time like you can control
everything on your own like a lot of
everybody has their own fan base
and things like that so that if you're
signing for that you're not going to
get it. You already have it. So you might as well just control it. Feed your fan base and let it
grow at the same time and make all the money off of it. But if you're looking for like hell
a promotion and, you know, people to back you and all of that stuff like that and placements and
to work with, you know, the hottest producers and things like that and end up on the radio
and, you know, then that's what the label is really for. But it just depends on what you want
to set yourself up for. There's a lot of songwriters out there too. You know what I'm saying?
and they sign to labels and they kind of break bread
where it's like you can just write those songs yourself
and have a publishing deal and just get all of that money,
you know what I'm saying?
So that's what I would say.
If you're really a good writer, like don't sign shit.
You know what I mean?
Hell yeah, take all of that for yourself.
But, you know, a lot of artists, they don't,
some artists, they don't really write.
You know what I mean?
Or they don't come up with the hits.
So the writers, the people who are coming up with the hits,
I would, you know, protect them for sure.
Torin and merch.
Yeah.
How important is that shit, man?
Man, it just, like I said,
it depends on what type of artist you are.
Like, some people don't give a fuck.
You know what I mean?
And some people, you can't sit them down
and tell them like, yo, make the t-shirt,
sell the t-shirt.
How much money you made off merch?
Millions.
Millions on top of millions.
Yearly, quarterly.
You know, I got locked up one time on tour, and my bail was $3 million,
and I was able to pay that shit off of merch.
You got locked up on South Beach, too, for smoking something, Ray.
I did.
What's the story behind Ray?
You didn't you have an anniversary not too long ago?
Man, my partner, Ray, he passed away a little while.
Yeah, RIPA to Ray.
Yeah, yeah, but he was the first one to bring.
Well, not the first one, but first one I was smoking really good weed with in Pittsburgh.
Yeah.
My big homie out there in Hazelwood.
Yeah, yeah.
Got locked up smoking that rag on.
Yeah, man.
They weren't that weed friendly back in the day, man.
They didn't, they didn't let the Caliphah man smoke everywhere.
You was going crazy early when it was still hot out here to smoke wheat.
Brough, I learned from these niggas, man.
I was watching these niggas on them DVDs.
I was like, oh, yeah, I could do exactly whatever the hell I want to do.
When I want to do it, I'm going to take it to the next level, though.
They booked this shit out you out there.
Yeah, they lock up, brup, pro, pro, come on.
Yeah, they lock me straight.
It was like, oh, you can't smoke in my head.
Now, it was a time you was going to a club, right.
And you was going to the club, and Kevin Durant walked in.
Oh, yeah.
Before you.
And you was like, Gab, like, and he hit you, like, with the emojis on, like,
nah, that's not what happened.
What happened?
It wasn't his fault.
What did you do?
I think he's younger than me, so he was, like, a low-key, like, a fan of my music
before it even blew up.
Because he's from, like, the DMV area, and that's close to Pittsburgh.
So a lot of the girls, a lot of the dudes.
We all, you know what I'm saying?
Everybody smoking weed, chilling.
So it was all my shit, and I was partying out there.
Somebody was like, yo, KD, want to go to the club with you.
And I'm like, all right, cool, it's whatever.
I'm going to pull up.
So I pulled up, and I was on my camo shorts thing back then.
Like, I was only wearing camo shorts and hoodies and all of that.
And they were really strict at the club.
They were like, you know, this nigga can't get in.
And I was like, I'm with him.
And he was like, no, he ain't with me.
But he did the right thing
He was trying to keep his nose clean
He's a basketball player
He can't be with a weed smoking rapper
Getting in trouble at the fucking club
Like you know what I'm saying
Of course
Like he did what he had to do
But yeah
No that thing ain't with me
I don't know
Yeah I got curved
I don't know it
I don't know it
I don't know this motherfucker
Hey
Listen you're right though
He had to do what he had to do
He had to do
I respected it
We know some people
that knew some people. That's how we be getting these stories there. I see. Before I even go
with these. That's good, though. This episode of a million-dollar game is brought to you by
Manscape. One thing about Manscape that I like, listen, listen, I'm talking about the global
leader and below-the-waist grooming. I'm talking about, listen, we're talking about in the world.
In the world, nobody is dealing with Manscape when it comes to below-the-waist grooming.
Nobody. They're the leader. They invented this game. Listen, they're not playing. I'm talking,
you remember I used to be shaving and nicks and all this. That don't happen no more when you use
Man's. I'm talking about the Lawmore 4.0, but guess what? The body wash? The body wash is
unbelievable. The body wash. I'm talking about infused with Cologne. I'm talking about it smells good.
It's just, listen. Listen, I use it. I use it. I use it. I'm telling you. Use it. I'm telling
it. It's a game changing. I'm talking about it's infused with Cologne. And guess what? Right now,
you're getting 20% off and free shipping when you use cold game and Manscape.com. 20% off and
free shipping when you use cold game and Mancape.com. What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
right now.
Tell me, I don't know what you
wait for.
Me and I was with a game,
Manscape, you need to get
down like we down.
And it's just like that.
Wids Got Wings is out right now.
Yeah, yep.
You're doing your thing.
Uh-huh.
He got the label, you know, artists on there,
they're doing their thing.
Day to day, day still coming,
a merch still coming.
Yep.
He's just making a lot of fucking moves out here, man.
Yep.
Now, tell your artist, come on over here,
say someone on the mic,
man.
You're sitting over there,
no, talk your shit,
why are you the shit,
tell them who you are,
where they can find you at.
All that shit.
Dayjee, man, from southwest
A-Leaf, Texas.
You already know, man.
Houston stand up, man.
Houston stand-A-Eastown.
And I'm also as a creator of the world, man.
T-G-O-D.
That's what I'm talking about.
And that's how, you see how the artist.
That's how you got to step.
You got to put it in their face.
And you've got to stay in their face
of your artists out here.
A lot of artists, man,
got some real talent than artists, man.
You just got to keep going, man.
Keep going.
You're going to figure it out.
Get the merch.
Make sure you make that link
in that bio jump.
Yeah, yeah.
One of the most important things
is that link in that bio.
You can put all the shit
you want to put on your page.
That lake in that bio,
you got to make that motherfucker
break dance.
You got to make them want to go there
because that,
that gives you leverage,
whiz, when the artists out here
they're independent,
they're doing anything,
and they can show their proof of concept,
they can go on their shop,
or file on their back in,
see their merch.
Yeah, yeah.
See them fucking ticket sell.
Yep.
See them emails.
Yep.
Oh, man, that's the money.
Yeah.
That's the real money.
Yeah, just own
everything that's your
lifestyle like if you're into it in real
life try to own it and
I kind of learned that from Snoop too
you know what I'm saying he's like
if you doing it in real
life you should own it don't stand by it
if you don't own it you like cars
make them give it to you
you know what I'm saying if you like technology
fucking buy
a tech team
you know what I mean but don't just be a
part of that shit so
a lot of artists I feel like they get
caught up, you know, just being consumers.
And that's fun until you go broke.
So, you know, just invest in the things around you.
Or, like, put the homie on.
If it's like, if it's not really what you're into, start the business and let somebody
who's really, really good at or really who's smart and crunching numbers, you know what
I'm saying?
Like, let them flourish and then y'all do that shit together.
So, yeah, put the homies on.
It works better like that.
That's real.
Now, now, when you say this.
this is what I want to know
how many brand deals
did you have during your journey
you've had a lot of brand deals
no I don't really do branding deals
because I don't like licensing
I don't like being a billboard
I like to own shit
so anything that I do
if I'm a part of it
I get paid
but I get ownership of the company
I get a piece of the company
whether it's stocks to trade
or if it's like a legit
piece of the company
to where when the company goes public
I get broken off with it too
because I'm getting paid to promote it
I'm going to make the business bigger
I want to be in business
I don't want to just be a part of the business
so I probably did two
two branding deals
where it was like you know
one and done
I don't like exclusive shit either
where it's like oh you have to do this
and you for six months you can't do that
like fuck out of here
I'm the brand
and as an artist you got to make yourself that valuable
to where you move and shake how you want to
nobody could put a time limit on what I can and can't do
or what I can and can't say
what I can't and can't post when I can't and can't post it
I'm the brand
so I make sure everybody who I do business
with they know that or we don't sign the paperwork
because that's how they do you know what I mean
I'm not going to I'm not you got to treat me like I'm part of the business
I'm not hired help I'm going to grow your
company so
break bread or fake dead
all right now
I like that
break bread
a fake dead
you've been in the game
a minute
but yeah
yep
who the artist
you always wanted
to work with
but never work with
Jay Z
that's it
just hoove
man
did you ever come
close to getting
with him
like in the studio
I'm talking
just a connection
or even trying
to make that
happen
I met him
I met him
at a show
he was so low key
like I didn't even
know who he was
to write
before I went on stage.
Well, that's when he said, what's up?
And it was like, right before I walked on stage.
So I was, like, in my little mode.
And then he was like, what's that, fool?
I'm like, oh, shit, it's Jay-Z.
And then that fucked me up, like, for the whole, like, concert.
I'm like, Jay-Z's watching my show.
So other than that, that was probably, like, our first face-to-face.
I seen him at, like, a little dinner, like, this charity thing that we were doing.
Because, you know, rich people, we like to give back.
But, no, it was.
crazy it was like they were doing like million dollar auctions just for just uh for for for
charity i seen like somebody donate like 15 million at one time bro it was awesome and jz
was there and i seen and i said something to him then but not in the studio though all right
when you're young and you coming in the game when was the point where like who was the point
where you was out about you may have been an award show you might have been somewhere and you
and you bumped into somebody and they was like
Whiz
Oh my God I fuck with you man I love and you was like
Oh shit like that's
Yeah
Like I'm oh I'm here nigga
Like you called the niggas like nigga I'm here
Yeah
Like such and such just ran up on me and said they fuck with me

That will fuck me up yeah
Maxwell's saying you fucking my shit
That shit fuck me up
Babyface I seen him out of Clyde Davis party
He had on a track suit
I was like nigga that's ill
Everybody got on tuxedo
And you got on a fucking track suit
I was like that's fire
He was like I fuck with you too bro
Just like that
That's exactly what he said
Sting I seen him at the Grammys
I was like yo I'm like bro
You are ill like you don't even know how crazy
He was like oh man yeah you know
And Amber was pregnant at the time
So I was like, bro, can you rub her belly?
Like, you know what I mean?
He was like, yeah, for sure.
And he just rubbed her belly.
Sting's a fucking legend.
And Prince, I seen him backstage at the Grammys, too.
Like, I didn't want to get close because he literally had two girls next to him.
And I heard that that's his security or was his security.
So I was like, I'm not running up on him.
I usually run up on everybody, but I was like, yo, Pee, he was like,
I'm like, yeah.
Pino, what's up?
Diggins said I made him to take it to him.
Yeah, yeah.
When Prince gave you the motherfucker, nigga.
Yeah, yep.
I knew you be here.
Yeah, yep.
He was hell of cool.
Diggily like,
Rusty piece of prince.
Yeah, yeah.
God damn, rest of a piece of the legend.
You know what I thought you was going to say too?
Andre.
3,000?
Yeah.
Never met him in person.
No, I thought you were going to say like
one of the people you wanted to do a song with.
He don't be rapping no more.
Yeah, that's what we guess.
Yeah, Andrene be playing the flute.
Yeah, he don't rap.
He publicly said it.
He was like, I'm not rapping.
He fucked Kanye John.
Did you go Diamond?
That Kanye song he just did.
Oh, he rapped on that?
Yeah, he killed that joint.
Remember that joint that was released?
He fucked that joint up.
Is it an all verse or a new?
No, I think this is new.
It was some shit Kanye, him.
Jucy said he was in the studio with him.
And Jucy worked with everybody, bro.
Yeah.
Jucy's a legend.
He said he was in the studio with him,
and he laid down, like, Marvin Gaye
and just, like, wrapped his verse, like, on the floor.
I'm like, that's fire.
That sounds like some hundred three thousand shit.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
That sounds like some different shit.
That shit was fired.
I don't know how the young niggas now.
They sit down in the gym and be like this.
I sit down to rap.
I'll be like, damn, nigga.
Oh, you got to stand up,
you be on the battle rap shit, though.
You'd be hella aggressive when you rap,
but when we was, you had to, you know,
you had the, you know, they just sit there
and be like calm and shit like,
because they're on lean, bro, and painkillers.
Killer shit.
Yeah, man, killer shit.
But that shit sounds like that shit don't sound like they sit down.
They're all fucking, no.
When that shit come on, it sounds like they.
You do?
Just like this.
My engineer would be right here.
It's easier this way.
You ain't start like that, though.
I did.
you started like that yeah like there was a point in my career before it became popular
i was like damn i like sitting down and rapping like this shit kind of cool okay so soldier boy
he was the first rapper sitting down nah don't don't have big drako uh go crazy i was the first
don't have him on west califah's line yeah i love drako yeah that's my younger yeah yeah
we we had drago on here man we had a really good time man shout out to him man but that seemed like
that the weed ain't do nothing to y'all, man.
Oh, yeah.
Y'all might be too.
No, it's a great conversation, you know what I'm saying?
No, but the weed, y'all might be too challenging.
You know, we had to agree to disagree.
You know, that's a beautiful conversation when you agree to disagree.
I'm just saying the weed ain't, you know, y'all might be too much.
That's a beautiful conversation.
I feel you, though.
Just to go back on it, I feel you.
I was just speaking from a different perspective.
No, and I feel what you were saying, too, you know what I mean.
I disagree.
Absolutely.
I don't even disagree.
I feel you 100%.
I'm going to end of that.
Where's Khalifa, Phil's Gil, on what he said.
And I would say, I felt you as well.
All right, cool.
You felt each other, okay.
Chill out, bro.
Look at you.
You know, he did 20 years in jail.
I'm not saying, can I get a fill too?
Let me get in on this.
Let me get in on this.
Like, out of all, one of my favorite songs of yours is, is,
is, uh, remember you.
With the weekend?
fucking unbelievable.
The production, the way that shit came in.
Yeah, yeah.
It was just like, and then he just came in killing that shit.
That was my favorite.
I'm talking about that.
And, you know, Joan, what you were in Too Short?
On my level.
On my level.
Yeah, yeah.
Classic.
Remember he came in there talking that crazy.
He was going.
Middle of night early in the morning.
It was just like, I'm like, damn.
He was talking about all the drugs on that song.
He talked some crazy shit on this.
Nipsey was in that video, too.
Yeah.
That's a piece to knit, man.
That's my partner.
I just want to, man, I just want to get your flowers, man,
because I don't know if anybody came before you from Pittsburgh,
but I know.
In my eyes, you really put Pittsburgh on a map on a whole different level.
You know what I mean?
Shout out to Sam Sneed, you know, because I do know Sam.
I didn't know he was from Pittsburgh.
But to me, in my eyes, man, you put Pittsburgh on a map.
and you know what Sam probably was it maybe an inspiration for you you know what I mean
I'm going to say like he's older so we he didn't like have that same reach on us but like
mailman mailman don't forget oh yeah Joe Beast for sure because he came out he was on
aftermath like when 50 was first over there and when game had started uh going crazy
uh yeah Joe beast was like one of the one of our first dudes who was
like out of Pittsburgh you know what I mean so those were the dudes who I looked up to and um yeah
it's it's cool being like one of the first niggas from Pittsburgh because we didn't really have
like a voice or a sound you know what I mean and even now the young niggas they sound completely
different for me right there are some who you know what I mean they're carrying on a tradition
but um you know there's all different types of styles and sounds that come out of the bird
and I just think people
you know they gravitate towards
what they want at the time
and me being on the internet
and being in people's faces and traveling
and you know what I mean
I was able to just be able to be like I do all of that
and I'm reping Pittsburgh too
you know what I mean it wasn't just like yo
but black and yellow was hell of intentional
because literally at every point in my career
when I was I knew I was going to be on the radio
if I got a chance to make a single
it was about Pittsburgh right
there's a song called 412
or Pittsburgh sound.
There's hell of shit where it's like,
I thought it was my chance at that time.
And it was like, boom, here's Pittsburgh song.
It just happened to be, you know, black and yellow
was the one that.
That was the shit.
Yeah, yeah.
So it was always my attention to really rep the bird.
And, you know, I feel like now there's going to be a lot of,
a lot of new talent coming out of there, like, a lot of new talent.
And one thing I could say I was in Pittsburgh
and I was shooting a movie out there with Ving for, like, maybe like a month.
Yeah, Ving Grames, yeah, maybe like a month and a half.
Mm-hmm.
And that's, when I tell you, they love the fucking Steelers out there, bro.
Mm-hmm.
Like, literally, bro, you will see a fucking 83-year-old fucking woman
with a fucking Pittsburgh Steelers jersey on on a Wednesday.
It's like, it's not even game day.
Like, why the fuck is this old lady walking around with a Pittsburgh Steelers?
Like, when I was down there for that month and a half,
that shit just opened my eye.
to like this shit really is religion around this motherfucker like i don't know if it's because
they ain't got no basketball team yeah like that shit really is religion around that
motherfucker yeah not the black i mean that's black and gold because that's how we came up but i made
the song black and yellow because it sounded better but you know it's serious about them two
colors over there is it it's just serious bro that's just serious that's fucking snoop team yeah
Yeah, I think a lot of shit
Serious
And I got a lesson on that shit
That month and a half I was down
It was like, God
It goes down
It's fun though
But man, shout out to you man
You're doing your thing

Put people on
Giving people a platform
You know what I'm saying
It's really
important and it's going to help a lot of people get to the next point in their career
being able to come on to this show express themselves and you know just just be able to talk
with some people who are real who don't got no motive and ain't trying to you know catch them
in some clickbait or anything like that really trying to tap in and like educate people on you know
moves to make and how to make them and you know a lot of artists should study other artists you know
I feel like that kind of went out of style, and it was in style when I was coming up.
You know, we had no problem looking at our favorite artists and watching what they do,
watching their moves, watching how they do it, listening to them talk, watch their interviews
and stuff like that, and, you know, picking up on that game.
So I appreciate y'all for giving us an opportunity to put that game out there.
