Um, no, not, I mean, not really. I think everything played out the way it's supposed to play out. I don't think, you know, I mean, you know, I came, you know, I came from long relationships. I've been in relationships my whole life. I finally got my freedom like three years ago. I felt like you when you came home when I got my friend. So you came out of the relationship, got your freedom and just snapped the fuck out. Yeah, just, you know, just been living life.

Like, like, you know, it's. Is it possible to really have a relationship in the industry, knowing that, especially when you're on the level and knowing that, you know, everybody loves attention. We live in a time where everybody loves attention. I think if you're comfortable in your space and you scratched off everything, your bucket list, then for sure you could be with somebody.

If you want to have babies, you know what I'm saying? You're done in every, you know, every success level that you always dreamed about. But for me, I haven't scratched the surface where I think my peak hat yet. So I'm just, you know, I keep hustling. you know and you know and i feel like you know for a female you gotta give them what they deserve even though they'd be like yo i'll be with you even though you work this and that nah

because you know after a while it's just gonna be a headache when you say a headache but why because you know what i'm saying you provide for them they want time you give them time they want you to provide for them and you can't do both you know what i mean you got a motherfucking point they got a mean point because i'm gonna tell you i'm gonna tell you like this any nigger that just sit around and chill. Yeah. That ain't, that ain't what life is about.

It ain't going to work. It's going to be an issue. Oh, I ain't got enough time. Then you just, you was in Rodale Drive, or the whole way last week. That's what I'm saying.

Like, how I'm going to go get this fucking money? Yeah. Yeah, you fucking right about that. You got to check in every day. Yeah, that's, but you don't like check. You one of them niggas don't like checking in, huh? Nah.

Because if I feel like I got to do it, then it bothers me. Like, on some real shit, that's the greatest feeling. Well, that's a part of being it in the release. Because what if your woman felt like that? I don't want to check it. I don't want to check it.

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Fuck you mean you or what check? No, it's part of it, but you just got to be, you know what I'm saying? Your mindset got to be, got to be there. My mindset ain't there. Yeah, because when you're on your journey and you locked in and you have a relationship and a dedication to your dreams and materializing your dreams, you can't be held that.

You can't be held that. You know what I'm saying? And you need a powerful woman that's going to help you elevate also. And it's not insecure because that, Insecure shit, that's the most dangerous shit. Motherfucking insecurity, they'd do anything. Yeah, you need somebody powerful to help you elevate because we all going to play the games, but who's worth to staying with?

That's real, man. So you think everybody played the games? I mean, you know, whether, I mean, just put a, I mean, you always got to have a back of your mind if they play the games. It was worth being with them. You know what I'm saying? What's that? What's that?

Huh No, this is This is a quiet one I'll be trying You know what I'm saying And she was doing her thing then This is the most I would talk about anything

You know what I mean Because the million that I worked for game That's why I showed you out of DMs That's why I broke you out to the crib I never even showed nobody to crib You know what I mean So I was like I seen a lot of niggas show money on a million dollars worth of a game.

I was like, well, can I show y'all? Bring y'all to some. It's like, you know? No, but she's, show this the $20 million, but, but, but, but you know what's crazy. You know what's crazy. The only person that really showed the bag you connected to, Little Dirk. And was so crazy about it. Like, you're the first one.

When you first seen Little Dirk and brought him in the game, Coke boys, when you first got him in the game, Coke boys, when you first got him, what did you see? What did you see? What made you say? I got to go to Chicago and get this boy. I've seen everything everybody see right now. What everybody see right now and Dirk I've seen in 2010-11. That's when I see when we had L's up. I jumped on the remix one out there to Chicago.

Right there, when I remember Meek asked Dirk, he was like, yo, can I go to this and that? He was like, you're on your own terms. I can't promise you. We was there shooting all them videos. Me, Dirk, his grandmama career. Then Rhonda, number nine, was still out. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I mean, rest of peace, a lot of, um, Nuski, um, we was all out there. This, this, this one, everybody was around. Um, was there shooting, we did that one. We did, like, three more videos. I put Dirk on, on the first jet that he ever been on. He was like, yo, this is the first,

yo, this is the first time on the jet, big bro. He was looking around. He had everybody with him. He had his cousin Chino with him. Yeah, man, it's good times. But I, but I always seen, like, this vision for Dirk. because Def Jam, they didn't know what to do with him. You know what I'm saying?

I remember Dirk was just stressed out. Like, you know, he and, like, where every artist go through, I'm saying? I was just, you know, me and chinks, we were just running through the country, man. I was smoking. I had just dropped shot caller. I had just dropped, popped that. I didn't really get into my career yet, but, you know, coming out of New York, that was, we were smoking.

I just did state scheming. And I remember we did L's up. That was the first one. Then we got on the road. I was on tour with, I did my tour, then I went on tour with Drake. Then I'm hanging up Derek. I'm like, you don't have another single? He was like, yep, just saying what you want.

And he sent me that joint. And I'm like, oh, you're out of here. That's what I'm talking about. We did it. He put that bitch out, start catching fire. So I just remember going like, when they caught on fire in the head like that ceiling. I just remember waking up Rawls and puff like, yo. I need y'all niggas to jump on his joint

when we did the remix and after that, Dirk just started taking off taking up. I always saw this vision, man. Shout to Dirk. That's what's up, man. I like when the older niggas embrace the younger niggas, man. And give him love and amplifying. And let me just say

because this is what I want to give you your credit for. I heard about Dirk from that record. This ain't with you. Yeah. You was fucking with him before that. Yeah, yeah, before that record.

That was up and before that. So that mean you really had your ears to the streets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because most motherfuckers' introduction to Dirk was that song. Yeah. You know what I mean? Especially on the mainstream level. You know what I mean?

So if you were fucking with it. Yeah, because we had did that. Then I had brought him to New York. Then I had them running with me when I was doing it. Like, just doing a bunch of shit all around. I remember I was working on Coke Boys' mixtapes. I was working on four. three and four

then I remember he just came through the studio we started cooking up and I remember I did the Shmurder even like if you watch even like the Shmurder the remix that we did

Dirk in there looking mad young with the Caesar so he got so he got a chance to see and learn from the game you know what I'm saying

so Dirk been around for a minute that's why he winning because he got a chance to see me got a chance to see a lot of people he got a chance to learn from people mistakes

you know I'm saying so he kind of like soaked up all the game and you know he grinded man He deserved everything he got. Well, Max B went to jail. Mm.

He was on fire out here. Max B still coming home and be the hottest artist. That Drake album sound like Max B would have made that for no reason. You know what I'm saying? Like that, like he would take me to the studio, put on the Christina Aguilera joint. Like, Davena 90-na-na-da-da-da-da-da-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

He'd be just like that, dancing around like this. laughing like that the whole time but yeah but shot to max beat he was smoking hot when a nigga went to jail because at that time max was was hotter than you right yeah the streets right yeah big time but y'all was kind of like together kind of right

so was you like shit like she gonna get even harder now now when max went in I was the most blackball artist in the industry remember I was beefing with everybody everybody everybody this beefing that they're all doing now we did like cocaine city was like

the DVD we had you know we had all type of things going on in DVD so every volume would put out we had beef we were everybody that's how the beef me and jim came up that's how people all type of dudes came up but what max went in we was the most blackball and and for all the DJs in the city and and for everybody that meant something to the culture that was controlling the culture they had to pick a side where there was mine whether it was whoever we was beefing with and they wasn't playing our records on the radio that's when I locked in with Harry Fraud

that's when we did the chopper chopper down that's when we did the mac and cheese mix tapes that's when we came up with that shot caller you know what I'm saying like we was like blackballed all the way I mean I think at that time music took a real big hit at that time because

early 2000s the DJ stopped chasing records Yeah All the DJs had their own artists That they was trying to put on Yeah But I always tell people that K Slay had Pat Pooze

Rest in Peace Yeah Clue have fab Yeah Envy had Paul Kane Yeah Everybody had an artist Green Lantern had somebody

Uncle murder Uncle murder Yeah You had to have a DJ to get in Right And me and I having a DJ I was like I need to find a way

so so put it like this same way how podcast is the most popping thing right now DVDs was just taking off yes it was and smack DVD was the only one doing it and I remember just sitting home smoking again high drinking me and my nigga cams were like yo we know all the drug dealers in the town and we know all the rappers let's do cocaine city drugs on music let's in the beginning put the drug dealers that's really living in its life and at the end let's put the rapists that's rapping about what the drug dealers doing you know what I'm saying so People can see, you know, and most of them was locked up from the guy fishes to the, you know, the fucking, what's his name?

Boy George, all of them, the preacher crew, all of them. I mean, Pee Wee Kirkland was the first one that I did, shot the Peeway Kirkland. He was like, you know, my father figured us. But we did that, and Smack was charging a niggas to get on a DVD. Come up DVD was charging a niggas to get on the DVD. So me as an artist, I would have had to pay to get on a DVD. I wouldn't have came up on my own DVD, started getting paid of my own DVD and putting myself in the DVD. Right.

You know what I'm saying? So I had to be 10 steps ahead of the game. And I just start clicking like that. And you know what's crazy. A lot of times when I see some of these young cats, I think about you. Because a lot of young cats out here now in the game, they be slasgers. And you'd be like, you know, oh, I'll rap. I got a cloveline.

I'm a photographer It'd be all these joins And they're trying to They're trying to blend in some type of way I remind you in me though Yeah because this would remind me It wasn't all that But you utilized a whole different avenue

To slide in It was about sliding in Through the window So it'd be like damn I'd be seeing young cats I'd be like damn Young and he's doing four things But there's one thing

That's really his lead Is he gonna be able to connect this shit Yeah Because sometimes people be so All just all over they can't connect what they're really good at because they're like I see this one kid from Philly

this dude great man but he got a clover line popping I see him with the clover line then I see him with the camera and I'm like damn like you more popping for the clothes than the camera

you know what I mean but he the camera I see he using the camera to get in certain places you know what I mean so it's like just like you did man

it's just about you gotta connect that shit when you connect it you get up out of here hell yeah you know I mean because you your whole thing I'm rapping, but the DVD, I'm going to create my own marketing, too.

That was a marketing in this, to circumvent the whole radio game. Like, I'm going to get around you, motherfuckers. Right. Hell, yeah. Because I'm going to get to the hood. And most of the DJs he just named was from New York, if not all of them. So now, DJs used to chase records. They used to be the one to be the one that's known for breaking that record.

I broke this Jada K's record. I broke this. I was the first to play this. It was pride in that. It was pride in that. now the DJ started feeling like these rap niggas getting too much money and we ain't getting enough money and we the ones that's responsible for these niggas

so you know what we're gonna go get our own artists now we're not concentrating on breaking artists we concentrate on breaking our fucking artists so soon as a little slot come in oh I'm playing my artist five times in a row I'm dropping bombs on my artists I'm the fire truck is going on on my artists and now is going on less on this artist

because he's competition with my artists. But the thing of, but this is the thing. I'm going to say some real shit. And it's not no shade on nobody. A lot of these DJs, they held artists, none of these dudes went nowhere. They didn't pick niggas that were stars. A lot of times.

They pick dudes that they probably knew or they probably get a good agreement with. They didn't pick boys that went out of here like them supporting other artist records. You know what I'm saying? A few of them went, though. Like Fab went. How many other motherfuckers went, though?

A lot of people didn't go. Like, they might be local. It's cool to be local. But I'm talking about, like, in the game and really have a record and go platinum and do all this type of shit. Fab, like, the only dude that did it. Yeah. Shout out to everybody else.

You know what I mean? But it's like. The niggas made money, though. Yeah, they made money. Some people made money locally. But let me just. I'm talking about in the game like Fab did. The dudes didn't go nowhere like Fab did.

No, Fab got 20 years in still running around. You know what I mean. But you got to be special, bro. You got to be special, man. You got to be special to get a 20-year run. You feel what I'm saying? But you got, ho-ho. I'm going to say this, too, though, because sometimes you got to be special to get that song.

They get you to fuck out of here. Yeah. Because a lot of the dudes don't know how to make them songs because some of the artists that these dudes had that you talk about. A lot of these, some of these artists was battle rappers and they had a local sound. Listen, bro. I'm going to just say this to the artists, right? We living in the time now, French, on some real shit. A lot of artists don't know this.

I can show you some shit right now on my phone. And this is going to fuck you up. I got to show you this. And the artists don't be understanding. That's why when motherfuckers be in the game, talking all, look at this. This was 2000, this article is for Spotify.

This is 2000, I mean, 2021 March. Based on the newest numbers, there are 60,000 songs being uploaded to Spotify every day. There's almost 22 million tracks per year. A study has shown that at this,

only 1.12 million songs were released through major labels. Do it yourself. The hardest released 9.5 million tracks. I mean, so what I'm saying is that every day motherfucker's coming out. What you did is like, all them hits you had, that's hard as shit. Yeah. And like dudes now understand, now they're saying there's 100,000 songs come out every day.

That's 700,000 a week. This shit ain't sweet. You got to be special. And a lot of times people don't understand this. And you know this is because you got, and we got to break this down. are you going to understand this. You know this. You got a neighborhood song.

You got a city song. You got a region song. You got a national song, and then you got a global song. How many motherfuckers really going to even reach the national song level? And people sounds, like we, like motherfuckers don't talk about it. But dudes be having sounds. They be having local sounds because they haven't been exposed to a lot of shit.

Sometimes the local sound to catch, and people will be like, but what's happening now is that, everybody is influenced by whoever on. So the sound that you might be from Brooklyn. You might be rapping, but you're not rapping the story of Brooklyn in the mindset and the slang of Brooklyn. You might have somebody else slang,

so now it's like, oh, we already heard that. It's not like when juvenile came out, you got them big body bins, huh? Yeah. That was new. His look, his whole thing in the ghetto, but now you're not getting that. Yeah.

And that's worldwide, though, because Philadelphia had, certain slings that when Philly, nigga, nigga, talk, you knew he was from Philly. Yeah. New York had certain slang that when they talk, you knew they was from

New York. Yeah. Now, everybody used the same slang. Yeah. But that big song, though, is also a suicide mission. It's like a Russian roulette. Like, you can't. Every artist that fell off had a big song. Mm-hmm. You ain't fall off?

Yeah, yeah, I'm saying, but no, I'm different. Talk heavy. Talk heavy. I got a $20 million house. Yeah, I'm different. That's just one of my five houses. I'm the first male artist from the mecca of hip hop to go diamond. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, it just happened like that.

Say that again. Say that again. I'm the first male artist from the mecca of hip hop from New York City. And I'm first born African artists to ever go diamond. So that's different. Explain to the youngest what diamond is. 10 million? Yeah, 10 million.

Probably 11 by now. Wait, hold on. So Jay-Z ain't ever go diamond? No. that's a lot damn but that's what I'm saying it's like the big songs

it's like like a rush roulette I'm saying so it's like if you don't have like a catalog or joints you know what I mean it's like some artists can't even match up to that like right after that I dropped like no stylists so it was like boom boom and before that it's like 10 years of just like straight joints

but do you go in because I had one time there's another dude that dropped joints drop joints, right? And I had asked him one time, I was in L.A. O.T. Genesis. He said, wow, oh, I go in the studio to make a song that's going to do this. I don't go in there to be, I'm only trying to make a song that's going here. Yeah.

And he's done it. He never put no pride, no real album. He never put no album. He just dropped, bang, bang, bang, bang. He just kept coming with bangers. Yeah. So, like, what is the formula of that? And is that your mindset going into the studio?

No. I mean, I mean, just because I got a dime plaque, This doesn't mean I got three platinum albums, though. I got, you know what I'm saying? I just dropped four albums, you know, like three of them. You know, my first one, jungle rules. You know, I got like me and Max B had the Coke Wave series. I got the Mac and Cheese series. They got the Casino Life series.

Like, we got like projects. We got the Coke Boys series. But a lot of them was mixtapes, right? Yeah, a lot of them was. I got like 22 mixtapes. You know what I mean? So a lot of artists, people fuck with me after they heard Pop Dad. and, you know, the other ones, the lock jaws and this and this and that.

Some people fucking me from the mixtape. Some people fucking me from the global records. Some people fucking me from all the remixes I've been buying all year, you know, my whole career. And it's just like, you know, they all come together and form one, you know, they form, you know, one fan base to me. So everybody liked me for different things. So I try, you know, because when I was coming out the Bronx, I just realized that in New York was boxing a sense and makes one certain type of music, which is nothing wrong. with it because if you come from L.A.,

they'll force you to make the G-Funk music. If you come from down south, they'll make, you know what I'm saying, sing-wrap or do whatever it is. But I got a chance to be able to become, you know, come from Africa. So I came, I wasn't even speaking English before I was 13. You know what I'm saying, until I came to the States. So when I came here, I had the mentality

of a kid that heard music and didn't understand the words and just love the melodies. So when I came here to make music, I wasn't just stuck to, all right, we got to rap this a certain way in New York to make it here, because I see a niggas and I make it past New York. or niggas might make it, the furthest they make is to D.C. I was like, no, I got to pass D.C., dog.

And that's when I came over chopper, chopper, down, down. You know what I'm saying? Then I went down south, locked in. Then went to Miami or Ross locked in. I'm like, I've got to conquer these other places. The world is bigger than just here. So that's my mentality when I go into the studio.

He said, this ain't it. Puffer is just ain't it, nigga. And first of all, first of all, let me just say something. I thought, throw me off. Hey, nigga, you said a nigga, anything with Drake on it, ain't mixtape nothing, nigga. What the fuck are you talking about? No, not just Drake.

Him and Ross was part of my early career. Yeah. That's what it's about, man. Just having that. How did that really help you? Did you go to him for, like, Real moments during your career when you ain't know? Like on the aspect, was it ever that moment where you was like, damn, I don't know.

This shit will keep going on, like how much time I got. Was it ever a moment where you felt that way? No, I remember, you know, I remember Puff was just saying a little slick shit that made me just always stay on point. Like, I don't know where he'll just pop up be like, yo, rap is his future crackheads. You know what I'm saying? Damn. Rap is his future crackheads.

That's what I'm saying. But if you really look at it, everybody's, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying, drugged up, everybody. That's real. There's a lot of dudes that went to that, yeah. So from a mentor standpoint, he would just be saying things to keep me on my toes. Like, yo, don't. It's real, though.

Yeah, so I'm saying. So from him, I was just watching, just seeing that you don't really have to make music to stay on top of the Forbes list. You know what I'm saying? You know, stay on top of your game. So I was basically just trying to soak up game and, you know, he gave me my own, my own flavor, French vanilla sarah. We got Best Taste and Vaca, this and that. So he threw me a couple of hours. of use but um in the beginning now i came from like eight years of grinding and um i remember

rosé had hit me up with spiff tv and um i want you know i started dealing with ross and ross was like y'all i got an opportunity for you and i'm like yeah you got a bag for me he was like and i just got an opportunity i'm like i need a bag rosa i've been grinding for too long max b i just got locked up and i hit them streets up and i grind it and i got it out the mud and i'm saying so I might should just started clicking.

an opportunity. I'm like, nah, I need it back. He was like, you know what, Rosey think on his feet fast. It was like, I know what I'm going to do. So he just made the whole marriage happen between me and him and Puff. Yeah, but now when I'm at my career, I'm 100%

I own all my thing. I might be the first one to finish a Puff deal. Hey, you're going, you're going, um, damn, he said he's the first one. He still got total with some shit. Shout to Puff. Now, he's doing the right thing.

Pupp be trying to do the right thing. That ain't it to you. Yeah. Puff, Puff be trying to do the right thing. Ask what's well then. He said, I finished the deal. Not, but you know what? I don't know if Puff did anybody dirty.

I'm just fucking around, y'all. Don't pay me no attention. But. But you know what said at ice here? I'm the first one to finish your deal. Damn. I think Puff was just about to give him Mace's paperwork because he was telling me,

like, you're about to give everybody their paper's back. And what happened? Oh, he ready to give him his paper? Yeah, I think he was. I can't speak on that man. He said, I think he was. Yeah, I can't speak on that man in business. I don't know what he's going to do.

After he eat us. But you know, every... If he had to burnt the sogs all. Yeah. He burned the sogs up for 25 years. You know, every entrepreneur make mistakes at the early age of their careers. Did you do? Take your shit, man.

I burnt you out for $25. Yeah. But I think it's about getting put on, though, bro. It's about getting inside of the system. Yeah, but you know what? He gave all them artists a platform. Yeah, get inside the system. Yeah, he did.

Yeah, he changed all their lives. No, I'm just big, man. I love to have fun, man. I love the gym. I love the gym. He changed all the live. Yeah, but no, but definitely, man. You know, as an entrepreneur, you always going to make mistakes in the beginning

if you do. But as long as you become a better man and learn from the game. You ain't shit. You don't come a better man on my expense. Yeah. See, that's why I ain't never making it music. It's what nobody becoming a better man on my expense.

But I was the first one. I was the first one that when I signed a Puff, when I was doing a deal with Rosson Puff and, and it's cope, I was like, I'm not, you know, I'm not doing my publishing. I was like, I didn't do my publishing at all. I was just like, you know, did whatever I had to do. Whatever I had to do, I was like, I'm not giving up my publisher.

So I got that out to wait early. I ain't had to go through no problems. Right. I mean, you got to know your business getting in the game. And man, you know, you don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate. Right. So if he's negotiating better than you, you can't be mad at that man.

Somebody could fucking talk you out your fucking drawers on with your jeans still on. It's like, bro, like you deserve everything that's coming to you. Right. Welcome to the episode of a million dollars worth of game, Business Spotlight, what we bring to you the news you can use. And we give you game from some of the great people within our community that's making moves on the business aspect

and they're going to educate you through their system, through their courses, through their e-books, through their knowledge and their proof of concept, they already made it happen. They're just going to give you the jewels that you didn't need that you could utilize to make it happen for yourself. Today, we have my man, Rod, from Hard Money University. Before we even start, this guy is giving away a million dollars

worth for free courses. A million. What you need to do first. This is text MWG to 4159-6-8-54-31. 4-159-6-8-54-31. He's giving away a million dollars in free courses. How to make money funding real estate investors. Rod, tell them how you got in the game, man, where you come from, man.

So first and foremost, thank you for having me, y'all. I appreciate the platform. My name is Rod Stanback. I'm from North Philadelphia right here. I grew up up the street. My grandfather used to sell fruits and vegetables on this block. So it's coming full circle for me. But I got into the real estate financing industry as a real estate investor.

So I started investing in real estate back in 2009 when the recession hit. And I was trying to get in real estate at the time prior to that, but I didn't have enough money. But people knew I was trying to get into real estate. So when the market crash, I honestly, I didn't know what the hell was going on. But it was a lot of opportunity because the prices or the properties dropped. And so somebody came to me, they were like, I know somebody who got two properties for $10,000. I'm like, well, shit, that's a no-brainer. I'm like, let's go.

I gave the money. he gave me the deed. And then when he gave me the deed, you know, I didn't know anything about title companies. And they insure the transactions and make sure everything legitimate. So I was a little handshake deal. You know what I mean?

On the streets. I gave the money. He gave me the deal. I mean, the property. Fixed it up. So it was on the contract. Then two weeks, they asked me for the HUD. A HUD is a settlement statement

that shows all the costs associated with the transaction. And so I don't know what it was. I'm like, what the hell is the HUD? So they're like, how did you get the property? I told them. And then he referred me to a lawyer. Now, I told the lawyer, come to find out, the property was stolen. So I was at risk of losing everything.

You know what I mean? I had $100,000 into the deal at the time. I almost lost it all because if this owner would have wanted the house, I would have lost everything, you know what I mean? So I had to do something called a quiet title action. Quiet title is when you've got to try to find the rightful owner. So you got to do certified mail, like you do four mailings. You got to get a private investigator to try to find this person or the heirs.

Now, this person was dead. So, you know, obviously we couldn't find them. So we had to try to find their heirs. They never responded. So I was able to keep the property, thankfully. But after that, I said, I got to get some help. I got to get a mentor so that I can learn from other people's mistakes. You know what I mean?

So that's what I did. And I found this guy, this white guy. He was a Mormon. I would have never stumbled across. I just happened to stumble across him somehow online. But he was a real estate investor. So I hired him to be my mentor. But I was intrigued by his model because he was a real estate investor and developer.

Then he started doing real estate education. then he was a hard money lender too you know what I mean and he called he has something called the circle of wealth whereas though everybody's benefiting from everybody he was raising money from retirees to lend to the real estate investors and then he was giving education to the real estate investors so everybody was feeding the chain everybody getting money I was inspired by that I said damn my like this model I don't know anybody black that's in a lending industry like if I could duplicate this put my twist on it then you know I'd be the man so that's exactly what I set out to do and that's how I formed flip funding which is my lending company. But now I've just recently launched hard money diversity, as you just said, which is a platform where I teach other people, specifically minorities because it's not many

of us in this industry. I'm like a dinosaur, but I mean, teach everybody how to get involved in the real estate financing industry so that you can put yourself in a position of power and fund deals for all these real estate investors that we know out here. When people hear hard money, they get it, you know, it's like a bad, bad look on it. Why is that? It's a lack of education. you know what I mean because in the past it did it was like high interest rates 18 20 percent but see what people don't realize is that our money is now an institutional game you got wall street in this everybody's trying to get in this because they see that it's a lucrative opportunity in it and like people don't realize it's one of the most secure investments that you can make

because if you fund a deal we got to lean on that property if somebody don't make a payment not if they don't make a first payment don't get scared away y'all but if let's say you don't make five payments and we have to take that property back we still are going to be making a profit because the loan is always less than the property's value. So I could take a property, say I give it somebody a loan for $100,000. The max I'm going to lend on that is like $80,000.

You know what I mean? So if I got to take it back, I know I can sell it for a quick 90 and still make $10 grand on the property. All right, so now, in a university right, with, you know, like the course and all in the university, what game is you giving me in the university? In the university. If I'm Johnny, if I'm Johnny do nothing,

I'm laying on the couch. I ain't got shit going on and I'm watching this right now. How can I get, you know, how can I benefit off this? Because you're giving this out to, you're giving this shit out for free. You know what I mean? How can I? So you can benefit. What people don't realize is that you don't have to be rich to be in a lending game.

That's what they want us to think. That's what I thought up until I got involved in it. What I've realized is that what I've learned is that everybody's using everybody else's money. Nobody's using their own money. OPM. That's the game. That's how you get wealthy. Because you're supposed to keep yours and invest in other places.

but if you have the opportunity to come up and use other people's capital, why not? You know what I mean? Because the thing is, I don't have, like we did $80 million last year in loans. I don't have $80 million. I would have never been able to do that if I was trying to use my money. So I had to leverage institutions, you know, money from institutions. I have private investors that I've raised money from now because they know, you know, that this is one of the most secure investments.

It's safe, secure, and consistent. We pay people monthly, you know, when I raise money from them. Oh, that's good. So how do I, but how do I go get somebody to use somebody else's money if I'm just Johnny do nothing? Right. So you'll be starting out like me. When I first started again, I'm from North Philadelphia. I didn't have a network of affluent people to raise money from, but I learned how to do it.

My journey was rough because I didn't have nobody to show me, you know, but I made every single mistake you can make in this business. I've grown my business from nothing to making seven figures a year, you know what I mean? And everything I say is verifiable. But to help, but the help you got, like, does you use credit? Like, what did you use initial? Resources. Okay. Resources.

It's connected with financial bankers and did you go to the bank? Yes, sir. Not the bank. No, not the bank. Other private individuals, the hedge funds and other private institutions that lend. I partner with them. I have over 50 resources that I connect anybody that join Hard Money University to so that they can be in a position to lend as well, even if you have little to no capital.

Is it hard game capital? Like what, but you got to, once you get in the game, you get your LLC, you get your all your stuff set up, you get your infrastructure set up, like the paperwork and like me going to this head phone or me going to whoever, is it a possibility that you go to anybody that got money that you have trust in you and believe?

Exactly. That's key. People got to know, like, and trust you. Those three factors that determine if somebody going to do business with you and definitely if they're going to give you some money. You know what I mean? See, I've made my way because I have a solid reputation. You know what I mean?

I give great results for real estate investors that come to me and get loans. So people trust me. They know I execute. They know their money going to be safe because I've proven it over time. How long is the, if somebody, like with the hard money thing, how long is the, how long do you got to pay somebody back?

Say if somebody, say if you give me money for this property I'm working on. How long is it a term, is it a time flame? What is it? So it depends on the type of loan. So if it's a fix and flip or new construction loan, normally it's about 12 to 24 months. So it's not no pressure. You can pay it off without any prepayment penalties.

We don't want to encourage a quick flip Because the more the fast you get the money back The more you're going to buy more properties And come on back and get more loans But you got to be bad How did you build up your patients Coming from streets in North Philadelphia To be able to say, yeah, I'm going to give you this money

For 24 months, man How did you build your shit up to be able to like Throw the money out there, not, you know Like I mean, once you understand the game You know, that's just how it works You know what I mean? So I mean, it's better to be patients

Sitting in a cell waiting on some money You know what I mean? And not having no opportunity. It's either that or, you know, sometimes people think it happens overnight. And now, you're turning to be much faster than mine because, again, I didn't have anybody to guide me along the way. And now they got you. Then you got me. You had a cheat sheet.

I ain't had a cheese sheet. You got a cheat sheet now. I created the cheat sheet for everybody now, for sure. A lot of people don't think this wasn't possible. A lot of people thought, again, you had to be rich in order to even get in the position to lend money. But you don't, y'all. I'm breaking it down for y'all. I came into the game, you know what I mean?

I took the elevator up now I'm bringing it back down opening doors for everybody else to get involved And right here in this course You just, but this old thing You're just giving it away You're giving the game away in the course, right? How to make money funding real estate investors And once again text MWG

The 415-968 5431 415-968 5431 He's giving away a million dollars worth of free courses Listen man You're giving it to them So once they get this information They can take this information and launch They could just go their way

Or they can say You know what I want to go to the next level With you I want to go to the next level With you know Hard Money University Absolutely

Like you did with Your guy who was But yeah So he introduced me to He showed me He introduced me to me That he piqued my interest But he ain't give me the game

Like you know So that's how I made All these mistakes And I know how I feel To be navigating In his industry Without any help You know what I mean

So I want to be that That anchor For other people Trying to navigate Their way And be successful within the real estate finance industry. And this thing is a no-brainer for like anybody that's definitely in real estate already

because people already know you for real estate. Again, they know like and trust you. So you can just multiply your income by offering lending. Let's say you're a wholesaler. Wholesalers, they do business with cash buyers. They're trying to sell houses to real estate investors. As a lender, your target demographic is real estate investors too. So if you sell them the house, why not fund the deal to get paid twice or money?

Is the media people that surround you? Did they start getting into hard money? because they see you how you came up they've seen your glow they see they know because when they believe in it when they're next to you they they see how much money you get now and that people trying to get in now they're in game they're seeing your end game you know people saw me they know I was in the real estate for years but they didn't know what I was doing in the lending side I knew they wouldn't even understand it you know what I mean so I was just working on build my foundation until you know it was time and now it's time to really bring

awareness to this opportunity and how long do it take like if I come to all right I know i'm going to get the free course i mean everybody going to get the free course but if i come in the game and say you know what i want to go to the university how long do that take so it's an online platform it's self-paced but i structured it whereas though you know it should go through in eight weeks by the end of the eight weeks you're up in a position to fund deals and you had a resource you i'm gonna give you the resource i'll give you over 50 contacts that i know personally that i have used and that i am still using within the industry that you can utilize now these are your resources i'm not trying to give you the game just so you can send business to me. No, I want you to be on

your own, independent, you know, so you can scale. And I want to assist you to do that. And you teach me how to go around the country. You'll teach me how to go around the country and find, you know, real estate, you know, people that need funding. And it's just easy. I could just easy find it through using, utilizing your stuff. Absolutely. My information, you'll be in a position to fund new construction, fix and flips, multi-family, mixed use, commercial, anything, you know, for investment purposes. you'll be able to be in a position to fund it nationwide. I lend nationwide all throughout the United States.

You're going to connect them to a real bag then. You're not playing. Yeah, like we're going to show you how to be the bank within real estate investing. So you could be the money plug. Everybody coming to you. Everybody's investing in real estate. You can't do it without the money. You know what I mean?

And so you put yourself in a position of power because over 90% of real estate transactions include financing, whether you buying it or refinancing. Even people say, oh, I pay cash. Okay, but you still got to refinance at some point. You know what I mean? and a bank only going to give you about four to five loans, and then you still got to come see me. If you've got a vacant property,

you can't see the bank. You got to come see me, you know what I mean? So we're the guys. Why you can't go see the bank with a vacant property? Because they don't want to get down and dirty with you. They only want to do business with you when it's pretty, when it's sexy, or properties that somebody's already living in,

like turnkey real estate, that if they got to take it back, they know they're not in the real estate and construction business. So they're not trying to do any work. If they got foreclosed, they're trying to take it and sell it right then and there. Whereas though, I'm first and foremost, I'm a real estate investor. So I understand how real estate investors think, and I know what to do. If, God forbid, you know what I mean, we have a vacant property that we have to get rid of or fix up to sell.

Damn, that's major. So listen, right now, what y'all need to do is, once again, you all need to text MWG. I'm to my hard money university. It's going to give a million dollars. How much is this course? This course, I'm selling this course for $500. $1,000 and giving it to you all, giving away 2,000 people. That's a million dollars for free.

So the first 2,000 people that text that number, don't play no games. You already know we put y'all on getting that money. We see y'all out on the streets. Oh, this episode changed my life. Man, this episode put me on. Man, I love y'all niggas. Man, this business. This is the next one.

You feel what I'm saying So when a lot of times Them artists When they be in a starving moment They get taken advantage of You know what I mean But that's just how the game Because you was at your lowest point

A nigga was at a high point A nigga seen you had talent You invested a little bit of money in you You know what they say You never do a deal while you're desperate And that's what most of the kids From the ghetto do they deals Because we come from nothing

So you know what I mean When we get into them offices We get big eye And you know you start getting introduced To niggas that you're going to realize Ain't shit in eight years Oh yeah this This Ronnie Cruz

He's been the top dog over here For you you meet Ronnie You like that man, it's nice to meet you, man. Eight years in, you ready to bust Ronnie in this motherfucking head. But this, but this answer your question from when you first came in, as soon as you walked through my door in my crib and you was like, how you get this from rapping?

That's how I got it from rapping. I negotiated it from day one when I came in the game and made sure I did all my shit right. I mean, like, from even, you know, apart from whatever it is, I never did a deal when I was desperate. It was just like, this is going to be in my favor. When Ross flew me, even though he flew a bunch of artists, that he signed for the opportunity,

even though that opportunity means the world, and I appreciate Ross for it. I looked at him down in his face. I was like, yo, Rose, I need some type of money. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because you was fans of motherfuckers, cool. Y'all fuck with y'all.

I listen to your music. I like what y'all got going on. But I'm not negotiating from a fan standpoint. Yeah, you're on fire, and you know what I'm going to bring to your team. Right. You're not, you know, opportunity is something. You give somebody that's that don't got nothing going on. Right.

I had the city, I had the mecca of hip hop on my back. Right. Like I was, you know what I'm saying? I was the youngest coming out in New York. So you got a bag, you got a nice bag, your first deal. Yeah, I got a nice bag. But also. Got a nice deal.

Yeah, a nice deal. I got a nice deal. Because the deal was more important than a bag. You'd get $2 million up front. That'd be the only $2 million fucking dollars you've ever seen in your life. I got a nice deal. I went back and negotiated after every album to, after every album I learned.

more and more and more, you know what I'm saying? And right now where I'm at, I own 100%. Like, not even cash money had a better deal. Like, you know, the labels you go to, the least you can get is 90, 10 split. I own 100%. Like, if it sells for a dollar, I get a dollar. Like, they don't get no splits. It's unheard of.

Nobody, like, damn, that is. Yeah, that is unheard of. You know what I mean? It's like, you know. But back to the young kids, a lot of them get. fucked up deals because they'd be negotiating from a fan standpoint. Yeah. You know what I mean?

You go in there, you meet your favorite rapper. You're like, oh, my God, that's such and such. And, you know, it was like a TV show like that as Rock Nation brunch. It's like, hey, what is that? What do you mean? Rock Nation brunch is the perfect example of that. Everybody's signing for, because they fans of Jay Z. Man.

Absolutely. That's crazy. Then the worst part, behold, take pictures with niggas don't even smile, man. Yeah. Everybody's signed for that whole verse. Hey, the only time who smiles when he would puff and all the... You never been to the bunch?

All of $500 billion diggers. Why you never went to the brunch? I mean, I'm not... Because it's called Rock Nation brunch. I'm not signing a Rock Nation break. You know what I'm saying? It was the French by Tanta brunch. It was a Cowboys listening party with the mayor there.

Man. You know what I mean? but yeah definitely man I feel like you know artists sign for pictures some artists sign for features some artists you know what I'm saying just just sign for the opportunity to each zone I'm saying but if you're not getting the back once you're an artist you can never go back to getting a regular job

it's got to keep that in the back of your mind and the same people that you're in there smiling is saying people going to stop picking up their phone if you catch a case if you downgrade you know what I'm saying your heads whatever it is so I just you know I always keep that in the back of my mind And you always got to keep in the back of your mind that you always got to prepare for the switch up.

Yeah. When you need record labels, trust me. If anybody switch on here at any given time. Absolutely. Because when you come in, the only reason nine times out of ten you're coming in is because you're hot. Yeah. You're on fire. They don't know where this is about to go yet.

Mm-hmm. This could be diamond. This could be trash. Yeah. Mm-hmm. But we know you're on fire. Mm-hmm. So now everybody's stroking your ego, everybody in love with you, everybody,

the shit come out, the shit don't do what they thought it was going to do. Oh, yeah. Now, the person who was the nicest person in the label, they're a total different motherfucker now. So understand that when y'all going into this shit, man, this shit is all business, man. And don't never get too high and don't never get too low on this shit, man. Try to stay as even kill as possible, man. Don't never let them blow your

motherfucking head up too much And even for the OGs too It's like For the OGs that's giving out these deals It's like You gotta understand that young artists The longer they're in the game The longer they learn the business

So if you're giving an artist a deal That by the time the third album come Or the third single He's gonna realize that you was a sucker You shouldn't be doing them kind of deals Because all them deals Just leave the problems And I hate the scene

Just like you know Groups or brothers Everybody fell out Because of shit like this You knew that deal was a sucker deal, and you give it to him because the young brother don't even know his business. Right.

You can't even trust the lawyer because you might have that lawyer that, you know what I'm saying? You might have got him that lawyer because when you're coming out the hood, niggas ain't got no lawyer. So I got a lawyer for you. I know, so all them tricks, all them tricks right there always come back. Right. Because then you look up

and the artist, now they're getting some real money. They was just broke, bust it, and disgusted. Now they're getting real money on it. everyday basis. They got shows every day. They, and then they look up and they, like, I made the record label $28 million.

I got $700,000 in the bank. Yeah. How the fuck is this. The record business make $13 billion a year. They make $13 million a hour streaming. We get 12% of that. You know what I'm saying? You know, Lucian Green, everybody, everybody's getting paid.

It's not even in the culture. So you try to tell me, Max be doing 75 years. I lost chinks behind this. My little brother deported. We put our life on the line every day. I haven't got shot up behind this. I'm like the last one out of my whole crew still here doing it. And I'm going to do sacrifice all this so I can make 12% of what I put my life behind.

After a while, as you're growing, you're thinking like, yo, if something happens, to me. I got nothing to leave my kids. They don't gave me all this money to make all this music. Because even though I did great deals, they gave me all this money to make all this music. But now, the music is my business. I get to leave my business

but I get to keep my business. How is that? Y'all gave me a loan. Now I want to walk away. I don't get to keep my business. Right. I don't get to walk away on my title. I don't get to walk away with this shit. You don't get to do it? None of that. So now I got to start

Scratch on 100% create a whole new catalog which I know I could do you know what I'm saying but you know there's artists that can't do that so you leave all that behind there that's what shot the doll

shot the you know cash money shot the you know masterpiece shot to all of them you know that paved the way I feel like that's that's the way as far as like you know you could sell

a billion records they're not show records right right absolutely they can record label records you know what I'm saying you could be smoking hot in the streets you took an advance that you're going to have to spend back to keep yourself

hot you know what I'm saying you took a loan bro get your credit up and go get a loan right shout out the even the ones that came before the cash money's in a master Pia J. Princess and the Tony Draper's in the yeah you know what I mean hell yeah because they really you know set the bar for niggas like you who got a deal that they didn't even have

yeah you know what I'm saying yeah most of them had 85 15 75 25. Yeah, I gotta give it up to Russ. Shot the Russ. Russ ain't playing. Yeah, the Russ is the one that put me on to the 100%. Russ is not.

Russ too seven? No, Russ. Russ. Oh, all Russ? Yeah, yeah. They're the one that put me onto that 100%. I can't take credit for it. The thing about Russ, Russ know his business.

He knows his business. Yeah. He know his business. He ain't playing no motherfucking games when it, when they come to his business. Yeah. I was telling him, I was like, yo, I know artists that's doing 20,

He was like, nah, that's just like the tallest midger in the room. I was like, you know what? You're right. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, all right, 80, 20 is bad. I'm like, all right, let's do the 100th. Like, this album with Harry Fraud, I spent everything myself. Like 100% and get 100% back.

So it's all out of pocket. It's all out of pocket. From the beats to the samples. Videos. Everything. Everything out of pocket. Marketing. How much you spent on marketing?

market probably like half a million damn that's no because for dudes they gotta hear that because everybody be on the independent joint you gotta hear that shit yeah like half a million I mean but you could do albums for 100,000

I'm saying I'm talking about I understand the recording thing but when I'm talking about I'm talking about marketing like you see you spent 500 thousand on marketing where did you put that 500 thousand at I mean first of all you got to get every cultural blog site that's gonna run you about a hundred bands

for the week. I mean, you got, you got to think about it. You got a, you got a longevity of an album, so you got to keep pushing,

pushing that motherfucker. It goes to videos, go, you need a digital marketing guy, you need a commerce. You know what I'm saying? Merch and all that. Now,

commerce is for all the DSPs. DSBs, okay, and playlisting is the new mixs, is the new, everything. Yeah, yeah, radio is a new everything.

You know, every, you know, every, every generation has changed. Yeah. You know, we had the world stars

that you, You know, we had the DVDs, it switched to YouTube's, and it switched to, you know, to podcasts, you know, every time the game chain. Now it's playlists. That, you need to commerce. You need a publicist, you know what I'm saying? You need a great management team. You know, you need a good international. Got to run ads.

Yeah, you got to run ads. You know, good ads. I mean, so you need, I mean, you need everything you had when you was on the label because, but now you just more control. So instead of the label hiring their cousins And hiring this dude and this and that And they're running about 10,000 artists At the same label The label dudes, once they leave at 5 in the afternoon

They're not thinking about French Montana Right You know what I'm saying French Montana thinking about French Montana All day every day And I need to hire people Like I got people in salary That's $150,000 for the year

Like five different people like that That just focus on French Montana Until French Montana signed artists that I need them to focus on. It's like, you know, I need somebody just thinking about French Montana. I'm the business.

That's major. It's just like, man, the scene you come from the DVD all the way to hear, it's like, did you think you'll still be here? Man, it was just like,

and it'd be reminded me that crossroads video, Bone Thugs, when they walk in. That's how the road felt like, you know what I'm saying? It's like, yeah, it's like,

like I said, we all started together. It was me, Max B. Chinks. Me Max B, man. Yeah, me and Max B, Chinks. My brother, Pennhouse B. You know, and even the Coke Boys have

Coke Boy Flip. You know, and everybody, four boy Flip died. Chinks died, rest in peace. Max B got 75. My brother got deported. Penn House is the one I was talking about and stayed scheming.

He did like 15. He just came home. so it's just like I'm the only one that was out you know what I'm saying so just carrying you know what I'm saying carrying the name carrying the whole wave so no I didn't think I just I just felt like we just had that

that curse on us like you was losing everything yeah yeah every time you win you lose yeah definitely and we went in chink star yeah damn we in max go to jail damn we got yeah it's like every time you're celebrating something

something you know what i mean but did max give back any of that time um because you know you see blogs and shit max be about to come home max max is in the camps now okay yeah so he's in the camp so he's a step closer to coming home yeah okay so he did give us back some of that time yeah yeah okay cool because you i know i keep hearing you say max got 75 yeah i'm like damn the blogs be lying like a motherfucker keep saying he close to coming home and shit yeah definitely you know what i mean so so french out. Yeah, the album out. What was the mindset? What was the mindset? Me and Harry Fraud, this is our first project together. You know, I always came to him

to do like one-offs and shit, like when my back was to the wall. We locked in and broke. Harry got you up out of the deal. Yeah, yeah, I'm back to the wall. We just locked in and we made our best music, man. But this is the first time that everything came full circle. Everybody was waiting for me to make this album, just me and Harry Fraud. I feel like God just wanted me to own 100% of my shit. making my best music. It's the only way I could look at it. That's how I think came.

Al-Hamda-Lah. Now, what's up with the, my man, man, did love it, man. Shooting a documentary with you in Morocco and all that. When is that drop? Man, that one, I was going to drop it, but me and I let Drake,

What Jay-Z say when you let him watch him? Man, he was like, that journey was an eye jerker. He was like he almost started crying. Because you got to understand, the documentary is called for Khadija. It's for my mother. When we came from, when we came from Africa, it's like the real story. It's like we got immigrated to Africa. you know, to the South Bronx.

And my pops came here with the American dream. It didn't work. He dipped out. He was trying to take my mother and leave me behind. My mother was like, she wasn't leaving. So she stayed. So when she stayed, she didn't get to see her brothers and sisters or nobody for like 25 years. You know what I'm saying?

So you got that whole, you know, the whole, you know, mission from the start, the whole journey all the way to the end. At the end, you get to see her go back and meet her sisters. crying and this and that it's like it's like the sacrifice man yeah because out of africa artists don't make it you know what I'm saying so damn they had to be like that like a mistake of somebody to be a french montan like I slipped through the cracks especially coming to the states not even speak of english yeah yeah it's crazy that's too crazy did you go through the african jokes growing up yeah they used to call me
