So this is my, right now, this is my sweet red. We just, I don't even get a chance to, you know, send it out here.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I just, we ordered this from DoorDash and they got it from Bev Mo. So they came and delivered it right here to us. Hello. You know, Tom, so this is my Earl Stephen Sweet Red. This is my Earl Stevens, Mango, Moscow. This is my biggest seller right here. This right here go crazy. I sold 36,000 cases of this right here just in Michigan alone last year.

Starting point is 00:08:28 And the VS should be a VSOP and my VSOP should be an XO. That's how delicious. I always say the proof is in the juice. You dig? So, you know, whenever you all get a chance, stop by your local store or requests it at your local store. You can go online to Uptown Spirits. You can go to my Instagram or any of my social platforms and click the link up in the bio
Starting point is 00:08:48 and it'll take you right to my adult beverage dynasty. There's a lot of us, there's a lot of our folks now getting into the Adela beverage game. Is it a game that you could get him? About the, you know, the entry level game? Yeah, so with me, you know, the first thing you got to do is go get your liquor license.
Starting point is 00:09:10 You know, ABC license and whatnot. And you have to have a supplier. You said the ABC license, what's that? ABC, that's for, you know, to be able to sell alcohol. Okay. Yeah, and it took me a while, but I got, and it took me a while, but I got like 46 states now. I started off with just California. You know what I said?
Starting point is 00:09:31 And I did it without no major backing or nothing, all from the ground up. It all started from my ideal. Everybody know, that's one thing I do is drink wine. I used to drink Carlo Rossi all the time. You know, Gallo makes that day the biggest wine company in the world, you know. And they're right out there in Modesto, California. And I'm from Northern California. I'm from Vallejo right next to Napa.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So it only made sense for me to do a wine. Yeah. So once I did the wines, Earl Stevens, I sold it online. Then the demand became big. I sold a pallet of food for less than Valle from there. I want to take my stuff to Southern Glazes Wine and Spirits. They're the biggest distributor in the game. Now I got a national distribution deal with them now.
Starting point is 00:10:12 And I sold my first truck load. When I saw it my first truck load, it was just like clockwork. and then I ended up doing an RTD ready to drink Premier's cocktail drink called Slurricane Hurricane. Then from there I went ahead and did Equadenta tequila. I don't have, R.J. got my tequila
Starting point is 00:10:31 out there. He got like two bottles. Till RJ to bring my tequila in here. He is sitting on the table. Edquareenta tequila. The egg quidenta means E40 in Spanish straight from Halisco-Maker. Oh, I would just want to know how to fuck do you be coming up with these days. The motherfucker said, in Quentinette.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Hey, I got Inneo, I got Blanco and Repo, and I'm working on a tall bottle of extra in Neo, a customized bottle. Right. And then I got Tycoon Cognac, and I also have a hell of sparkling wines. You understand me, Champagne. I got, I got Prosecco, Proseco Roseae, regular Prosecco D.C. From Veneto, Italy. God, damn.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah, I got a whole arreage of adult beverages. Yeah, and then I ended up getting into the food beverage. I mean, food and beverage department. Like I sell a copac burritos, sausages, and ice cream now. And I'm about to go into Walmart with my ice cream and to 4,600 stores in February. And I'm about to, it's going to go online nationally on 18th. So there's the egg quadenta.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Is that the reposado? Let me see that one. I mean, let me see that one. Yeah. This the repisado right here, everybody. Ediquid into tequila, repasado. And I also have Blanco. The name of your show is a million dollars worth the game.
Starting point is 00:11:53 You just got it in about 10 minutes at last. And that was important, bro. You just gave the people. I hope you're recording this show so y'all can rewind that shit and get all that game, that 40 just spit. And it all is right on, because it all starts from my ideal. So I was thinking about, like, I know I wanted to do a bourbon, so I did a, I did a bourbon, and I also got a new gin that just came out. It just hit the stores like a couple
Starting point is 00:12:18 weeks ago. This right here is called Kuiper Belt. The way I came with Kuiper Belt, I'm like, hmm, I need a name that's going to, you know, make me float in the sky like go beyond the stars. Damn. And so I went on, I went on the net and I say, and the Kiper Belt came up. So Kiper belt is actually in the solar system surrounded by dwarf planets. So I call my trademark lawyer. I say, man, see if that's a ticket. And if not. handle it in all categories. So if I wanted to come with a copper-billed tequila, a copper-bilt wine, anything, I can do that. I'm on that trademark.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Let me ask you a question. I need that to be put out there. When you're talking about IP, intellectual property for people out there, trade-marking, how much money, because people got to understand. Yeah. How much money did you spend just in trademarks alone? Man, do you talk about this year? But I've got hell of shit just, just trademark.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I'm talking about period. How much? For one, you can spend up to. No, no, no. Total, because you got all this, you got to get trademarks so they can stand. How much you spun total on trademarks about where you're at? Man, the way I get down, probably about maybe about maybe like 300,000 wow in trademarks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Real talk, could I cover all categories. All categories. You know what I mean? You might want to do the shirts from clothing to 25, number 25, yeah, everything. Yeah. You know what I mean? Entertainment. If I want to do a copper belt water, I can do that.
Starting point is 00:13:39 You dig? So, yeah. That's what it's about. And I just want to know one more thing. You said that you got your shit that you're getting your stuff up in the markets and all that want market. How did you go about that?
Starting point is 00:13:50 You know, you just do your due diligence. You connect with certain people and one thing leads to another. You know what I mean? And when you win it, you win it. And it's me being in that space
Starting point is 00:13:59 with knowing a lot of people. I meet so many people in the wine and spirit's game. You know what I'm saying? How long you've been grinding on the default? Now, this didn't happen overnight. Come on, tell them now. Since 2013, it didn't happen overnight. Since 2013, I was selling the dope beverages.
Starting point is 00:14:14 All from the ground up, 100% black on. No investment. If you ain't ready to put five years of grind into anything without making a quarter. Right. Don't even start. Right. Don't even start because sometimes it takes that long to get over the hump. That's what people are going to stay.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Everybody want to take the escalator. They're not ready to put in that work. Everybody want to take the escalator or the elevator. Don't nobody want to take the staircase. Right. And people see the contract that we signed and, you know, and they see it paying off. But I started a million dollars worth of a game in 2012. I remember.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Now, I watched y'all climb up the ladder. I've seen it. I've seen it. Now, a lot of people want checks, but bosses cut checks. So, you know, we don't cut a lot of checks up here. Absolutely. And you've cut a lot of checks. lot of checks too you know what i'm saying so you got to realize you know we we want the money but
Starting point is 00:15:20 we also got to use the money to make the money right i'm saying so so it's really about having that mentality that you're ready to work you know i'm saying because that's what it's really all about it's not the reward come when you get down and you get on your grind if you don't do not complain about what you didn't get from the work you didn't put in. Can you repeat that one more time? Do not complain about what you didn't get because of the work you didn't put in. Right. Because I'm a person that truly believe that the only person that got to be watching is God.
Starting point is 00:16:00 And when you put the work in, when he's ready to bless you, your blessing's going to come. They ain't going to miss you. You ain't got to worry about them missing you. They're going to be right there for you. So if you didn't get your blessing, maybe you didn't work hard enough yet. That's major. Now, with this album, right? Like, when y'all went in production, who was leading in production?
Starting point is 00:16:25 Like, who was picking, like, the beats? Like, who was y'all going with? You two right here. We had a technique, man. The technique was, you know, Earl was a good song starter. Okay. So, you know, I would have to, we would all be like Earl. Earl probably like jumped off, you know, just the motivation on the song, like finding beats and shit and putting a hook on it or finding beats with a hook on it already or the producer put the hook on it.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And we just know everybody was in the spirit of like bringing shit to the table because we all have camps. And we all really know where to find really good music and who, you know, we got our own resources. But I just think they were sitting a song. the song would start wherever it came from whether me him Q or 40 40 was shooting a lot of hot shit and then I would take the songs and take everybody's verse that they had everywhere and bring them all together and kind of you know we all know what you know say what order we want to put him in whatever and then we just get all the elements together so doggy dog his whole team was doing a lot for the shit over there at the compound they put a lot of work in that team
Starting point is 00:17:38 you know what I'm saying and we just kind of you know Q was our visuals guy like we're not none of us really gonna try to call a shot on what the visuals should be why should why would we right you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:17:48 he can't get asked us so you know doggy dog bringing deals to the table everybody was just just keeping it going man you know what I'm saying so we we all everybody played a position in this thing you know and what's dope is we all
Starting point is 00:18:00 switch you know leader positions you know depends on like too short kept all the music organized you know it would have been hard for us to kind of grab a hold of all this stuff and but but short always made sure he got it from everybody put it together gave us a solid mix he would put shit in order force change the order you know just kind of kept a project organized you know um you know 40 kept sitting in beats they just kept coming 40 kept you know making
Starting point is 00:18:35 sure that we covered all bases. Got it's loyal. Yeah, you know, we got to have our, you know, trademarks. You know, we don't trademarked trademarked Mount Eastmore, Mount Southmore. You know, just the case.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So, you know, it's a thing where, you know, everybody had their skills used to lead the group, you know, and we changed positions depending on what we was doing. And, you know, it's worked out dope.
Starting point is 00:19:08 All right, so let me ask you all this. Y'all knew each other for 30 years. Cube, I need you to tell me a funny story about short that don't nobody know. A funny story about short, nobody knows. Damn. Do I know any funny stories about short? That nobody know. No, you know, I can't tell you a funny story, but I just tell you short.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Short has always just been the coolest nigger ever from day one. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, when we first started fucking around, we was deep in NWA, youngsters, you know what I'm saying? Too short. You know, everybody had, like, little dancers and shit. Yeah. And, you know, everybody was, like, locking up on their dancers.

Starting point is 00:22:05 And, you know, if we still had the camaraderie together, like we've been had over just 30 years, then, of course, yeah. Yeah. You know, if some reason we lost touch and lost that connection, maybe not. Yeah. You know, this is love as much as it is small business. You know, it's, I don't know if it could come together if it wasn't. in that genuine friendship.
Starting point is 00:22:36 It's like being in the group with your cousins, you know. So if we had that same camaraderie still with pop, then, yeah, you know, we'd have five members in the group.

Q was like a teacher. To me, he's a real activist at times because he says stuff
Starting point is 00:30:28 that we all can't say. Like fuck the police and shit, but, but he's, yeah, I'm just getting that shit still related to this day. It's just game, man.
Starting point is 00:30:37 We're just spitting games. Like, like literally, you could go back and listen to these songs and, like, let's just say,
Starting point is 00:30:45 for instance, you're 12 right now you don't have a father figure at home. Go listen to our albums. Just study the fucking album. We should, We're the fathers that some of these people never had.
Starting point is 00:30:55 It's in there. The ingredients are in there. But the music, I ain't going to front. The music was so strong and so influential that it, you know, it had me have an identity fucking crisis. I'll be listening to motherfucking high roller and I want a motherfucker Ferrari. I'm listening to Ice T. I'm listening to Ice Tie.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I'm listening to Ice T. And then even when I'll take it back to the East Coast because he was out, I'm listening to School E. Saturday night. Gameed up. It was some game shit. Yeah, he was game-back. I love that song.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Back in the day, it was so much game in the music. Because Ice-T, man, that's power. We used to write songs that were visual. Yeah, you could see it. And I could listen to, like, Ice Cube America's Most Wanted.
Starting point is 00:31:38 That shit was funny. I don't need one fucking video. I don't need one video. I see the whole out. I see it. It's the movie. Every visual is playing just through the fucking words in the music.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I remember being 12-13 with my cousin in that car, straight out of Compton. He's a motherfucker name Ice Cube From a gang called niggas Oh my god Damn It came and kicking in the dough boy in W.A Prolific
Starting point is 00:32:02 Going crazy But you know what was so Like legendary about the back in the day music The fucking skits man The skits that niggas had on their albums back in the day But your album had to kind of be a movie
Starting point is 00:32:21 It had to be. It was like, and it went together so fucking good. We're not trying to listen to the best song. We're trying to listen to the album. Right. Like, what's on the album? Let me see what you know. I love an album.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Who was the king of skits? Sir jinks. Sir jinks put most of my skits. We used to love to just hear how your albums was going to start. Who did the watch for Dr. Drave was chronic and all that? Who was doing that? I don't know. I wasn't around.
Starting point is 00:32:46 You know, man, nigger. Not the chronic. No, no. You know, we were still beefing. We're still beefing a little bit. Cute wasn't there. Oh, but I said you was active. You were still in the house.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Oh, I was still getting down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't really start, I'm going to start really coming around to, like, Snoop did his album. Yeah. Doggy style. And they said it was going to bring us NWA back with your Snoop and Dray. Yeah, yeah, it was fucking around. N, N, NWWA, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Chanchet. But you know what's crazy about y'all, too. Y'all had your, y'all had your business game down. I remember one time there's no bullshit. It was like, correct me if I'm wrong, E40. I was talking to, me, 840 was talking on the phone. I was in North Philly. We jumped on the phone.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It was probably like maybe 2017. And he was just giving me game about the record industry, about the, one thing we was talking about you was talking about, profit, profit shares, some shit, some shit. Flipping your profit, man, you got to flip your profit. The music share, it was called a profit share or some shit. It was something that you was breaking down when you was talking about how you do the deals
Starting point is 00:33:52 and some shit with the music. I don't know. Was it a distribution deal or something? The joint venture were you? Oh, joint ventures and shit like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was breaking that shit down on the phone to me. He kept his independence.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah, kept his independence within a major deal. Yeah, within a major deal. And it was just like, you know, you know, it takes hard to do that. And it took bread to do that. Man, you got to look, look, check my game out, right? Not trying to be a meat monster or anything, but I'm from a small little city at the time.
Starting point is 00:34:20 probably about seven or eight exits, Vallejo, California. We, you know, when you think of the Bay Area, you think of Oakland or Frisco. Right. Valaya was just, we wasn't known. You know what I'm saying? I had, me and the clique, we had unorthodox styles,
Starting point is 00:34:37 like especially me. I had to throw it ass style that no one. It's either you get me or you don't. It's either you hate me or you love me. Mm-hmm. And eventually those who didn't like my shit ended up fucking with it because they started understanding And the shit I was spitting was shit that they was living.
Starting point is 00:34:52 They started growing within it because some people would be squares of box of apple jacks. You know what I mean? So as they start getting older and, you know, peeping game, they start soaking it up like a beach town. You know what I'm saying? But I know that, you know, we was the underdogs. We had to prove ourselves to not just the world, but also to the town, to Oakland, to Richmond, to Frisco, to our, we, you got to take care of home first. you get yourself known in your region and then let it blossom from there you see what i'm saying take baby steps you know what i'm saying and that's what we did and uh we did an independent tapes out
Starting point is 00:35:29 the trunk of the car got a small distributor uh called city hall records and also music people my uncle st charles was which was responsible um master pia tell you um responsible for sequitive records, AWOL records, No Limit Records, get low records, Farras, teaching us to gain, because my uncle say,
Starting point is 00:35:49 when I say uncle, I'm talking about my mama's brother. You know what I'm talking about? You know, everybody's called everybody's uncle now, but this is my mama's brother. This is flesh and blood. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:58 And so he got real smart. He was like, hmm, let me think. He said, man, you know what I'm going to do? Because he sold records in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:36:06 He got records back in 1972 and whatnot. And it would, they was 45s. Real records, like the little 45, yeah, yeah. And so he taught me so much, like, how to go, how to do POs, how to, you know, send invoices, taught me how to get bank accounts when I was young. The whole woo-wab, like, just a lot of stuff in the industry that he taught me and the click and D-Shod and be legit sugar tea.
Starting point is 00:36:31 But what I'm trying to say is he said, you know what? I'm going to look in a phone book and I'm going to find anybody, any retailer that sells records that sells rap music across the country in the United States. That man took his time. That man, book, was this thick. He started the distribution. He started, look, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:53 There's no computers and nothing. Mom and Pop. It's the early 90s. You understand? This thick. So in that book, he would send our packages out through Pitney Bowls through UPS. We had bought offices and stuff, you know. And, you know, had envelopes, sending them out manually, so it might take two weeks for
Starting point is 00:37:11 five cassettes or five CDs to get to Nebraska, because we're sitting at ground, you know what I mean? And we would always put the date up. So, like, it might say, we might do an album in 1991, but we'll put in 1992, because at that time, that's
Starting point is 00:37:27 how long it took for music to get to another state. You know what I mean? Right. So when they get it, it won't be old to them. Right. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm serious. All I think I love. Nessing like a love. We were on a case like a lawyer. Did she go on in Philly, 1996?
Starting point is 00:37:42 She came out to 301. A lot of things we put out way earlier. It just stayed the year after. So, you know, at that time, it wasn't the microwave days. It wasn't like you can just make, me and we can go in here. We can make a song right now. All of the rap. We can make a song to send their shit out tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:37:58 And it'll be on all the platforms. You know what I'm saying tomorrow. It wasn't like that doing what we was doing. You understand me? But Charles, St. Charles was a genius. So, you know, he'd give it to all. So he'd put like five free CDs. and tell them
Starting point is 00:38:10 CDs orcas says and he'll put it in their package and say look tell all he'll tell the retailers here get us to any D-boy anybody who got slump in their trunk you know what I mean? Back then we called a slump in the trunk
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yeah that's what you know what I'm saying anybody that's a fixture anybody that can spread the word and that's what they did all the some all the who's who's are the soils them dudes was the ones who spreaded our music around
Starting point is 00:38:34 and they were filling it because we were speaking their language and it traveled throughout the Midwest to South all, you know what I'm saying, West Coast, all soils. Even the East Coast. You understand me?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah. So that's how it unfolded, man, and St. Charles. So Master P's seeing how we was getting down, he was doing his independent thing too, but he went in holiday, Uncle St. Charles. And St. Charles took him to bigger heights
Starting point is 00:38:55 and everything. He did his job, along with AWR records. You understand me? Seibo and all them, Cousin T and all them, they all showed up. You know what I'm saying? Get Low Records, J.T.,
Starting point is 00:39:06 the bigger figure. Yes, Jamie. He was a young boss doing his thing out of field hall yeah you know what I'm saying so it's like man St. Charles is yep legendary man and I'm just glad that it all started we're from Vileo California but you put
Starting point is 00:39:18 Valleo on the map though come on in real life put that shit on the map it went from nobody knowing about it but nationally I put it on the map map map yes sir you put that shit on the map and uh you you know what's crazy that motherfucking money was different yeah I'm talking about that
Starting point is 00:39:34 that cassette and that CD money when they hit the sound scheme that was some different money because when you went platinum it was like million motherfuckers got out of their crib and had to go in the store and go buy this shit. Every Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Every Tuesday. That was some different type of motherfucking money. Yeah. And if you was going out of the trunk you was getting some real fucking money. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, we called it. We called the ghetto gold. Yeah, ghetto gold. We cost $100,000 back then. We were doing that shit before sound scam. You sell 100,000 units back then. That's
Starting point is 00:40:06 ghetto gold. A hundred thousand. You're getting you're getting yapered up you know y'all y'all living good we had big cars and houses and all that shit we before i even signed with did a distribution deal with jive for sure you understand what i'm saying yeah yeah i was killing yeah i want to get a man of fact you know something you might you might not know you might you know a little bit of the game but you might not know that where we from he just gave you a whole formula of how it went down a lot of niggas took to the formula but at the same era during the same era we write down the street 30 miles away
Starting point is 00:40:40 niggas ain't really got no way in the game it ain't really no clear cut label that's going to in the ain't no answer so you just got to figure the shit out yourself we we up the street same fucking formula different little couple little different ingredients we're doing the same motherfucking thing
Starting point is 00:40:55 niggas is just I mean literally just taking street money as the bank and investing in the music shit and it's like the way we did this shit we did this shit just like you would be exactly like you would envision your
Starting point is 00:41:11 drug business, exactly how you needed to flip it and survive. That's how we sold music the same way. We just... People don't know when I was 19 and a half, I had a clothing store. Damn. Young nigger.
Starting point is 00:41:25 What year was that? 80, 90, 89, somewhere like that. You know, I turned the big 55 at a few days, God willing, thank God to everything. You did. Well, homie. You know, I'm the little homie.
Starting point is 00:41:40 This is the big homie, you know what I'm saying? This is our little homie, right here. Yeah, him and Snoopy, dog. I ain't nobody little homie, sorry. You're a little homie, okay, okay, he's friends. Hey, look, so check this out. So I had a club store. Big homie said, it's a show.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I would be in that clothes store, me and my brother Dee shot. We used to go to the, um, what's that shit, the magic show, way before any rapper is going to the math. This was back when they had major damage jeans. They had Carl Connye. They had Carl Connye. They had, uh, They had Fubu, all that shit.
Starting point is 00:42:11 We have all that shit in our store. We used to come to the garment district out here and buy hell of like rayon, shirts and jeans and all kinds of shit. And it could be piled up in a van. Take it to our store. It's called Newfad clothing. On Solano Avenue, Rayon, Palo, California,
Starting point is 00:42:24 right down the street. Three doors down from Richard's Barbershop. Next door to Richard Barbershop was Studio Tone, which the one, Studio Tone made a lot of the studio Torn. He made a hell of Slash for us. He made Captain Sabahole. Put it that way.
Starting point is 00:42:40 That sums it up right there. You understand me? And many more. But, and he made Hurricane, you understand me? So, so many slaps. Anyway, I'll take the little money that I, my little profit in a little store, and I go drop off like 50, 20, you know, whatever money they took because it was $10,000 an hour.
Starting point is 00:42:55 So I'd put some money down on studio time. All I need was four hours because I had so much game. You understand me? I know when I went in there, I was going to knock out four or five songs. You have so much game. And I'm, you know, I've been in the traffic and I know a lot. I had a lot to get off my head. You understand me?
Starting point is 00:43:13 So I go in there and knock out four songs and four hours, man. Full songs, done. No going back to him. Right. You understand me? It is what it is. Yeah, it is what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:22 So that's how we did it, man, and it didn't take but a second. That's how I got up on E-40. It was like the niggins from Vallejo spent the hell the game. That's all it was.

Starting point is 00:53:08 On the 10th episode of a million dollars worth of a game, been in the spotlight, where we highlight people that's giving you the news you can use, they give you that game that guy's attention, motivation, education. Today, we got my brother's from San Diego Dream Car Academy. Listen, man, you want to drive that dream car
Starting point is 00:53:20 in your life. You say to yourself, as a kid, you walk, Walking down the street, that's my car, that's my car. You're picking cars, you're driving in the kid, you're in the car with your grandpa, your father, your mom, whoever, you and your friend in the back seat, looking, that's my car, that's my car. We all have dreams of this car that we want this magical car, this Lamborghini, this Porsche, this Ferrari, this Audi, this Cadillac, this GMC truck. Everybody got different things that they want. These brothers right here, first of all, what you need to do, they're going to give you a free course of how to get your dream car. What you need to do is text, dream car, the 619, 9,000.
Starting point is 00:53:53 4-0-1942 619-0-940-194-2 dream car. Oscar, like, tell them what y'all got going on and tell them how they could get their dream car and tell them the steps that they need to take and y'all get in a free course or how to get your dream car. Yeah, no, absolutely. So just in a nutshell, basically what we do is we teach people, just like you said, how to drive the dream car for free. Right. So first we teach people how to structure their credit correctly so that we could go to the bank and get 100% of the money needed to purchase this vehicle.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Right? So we're talking about the purchase price, the registration, the taxes. So we go in there with no money out of the pocket and we walk out with the vehicle or vehicles. And then immediately we teach you how to leverage Turo's platform to list them on there, get them rented out for three, five days out of the month. And then boom, the note is paid for it. So you don't have to pay for someone else is paying for your note. And now you continue to run it for a few more days out of the month.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Now you're making $500,000, $1,500 up to $10,000 a day per vehicle. Profit. I know those numbers sound ridiculous, but we're going to give you the blueprint on exactly how to do that. Right. How do you do that? man well so there's a lot of way to do it right so we don't just show you about like just cars right like that's that's like what the goal to get but then we show you how about like most about credit right so we show you how to structure your credit to go and buy these cars zero down the whole point to do it zero down
Starting point is 00:55:07 we always say like we don't pay for our cars our cars pay us right so first we show you how to structure you're saying that to say we had a conversation talking about a lot of times in the latino community they save their money up they work hard they come to america and they buy it up right buy a street out Right. And you're saying we don't, we're not paying for a car. So, so they'll save up all their money and then spend it on the car, which in reality, if you know how to like use the power of credit, you can go and buy any car zero down, right? When I say any car, I mean, 50,000, 100,000, 200, 300, Ferrari, Rose Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, whatever car it is you can buy it zero down, right?
Starting point is 00:55:43 And then what we do is we go and rent the car to cover the payment and then we take the profit on top, right? But it goes so much farther than that, right? because one, like, cars are cool because they'll cash show crazy, right? Like, our cars do better than, like, most real estate investment do, right? So they do great numbers. I mean, if you have a Lamborghini, uh, Huracom, you can rent that for $1,000 a day, right? If you do it the right methods, right? If you market them correctly, if you do the right strategy, you can rent that car 10, $20,000 to
Starting point is 00:56:09 times a month, right? So the cost of those cars are only like three, four grand a month, right? So even if you're doing 10 grand, you're still going to profit $6,000 on that, on that car, right? And that's a, and that's still driving a Lamborghini. but we say like this is bigger than cars this is bigger than just money right we also show you how to so what we do is we buy the car zero down right then we'll keep it for 10 months and throughout those 10 months we rent the car so we don't have to pay for it right we cash from it we use it for a ton of different things but then after the 10 months what we do is we show you how to go
Starting point is 00:56:38 and sell the car right or we instead of going to car max because car max don't pay nothing right we show you how to sell it privately for the most money right we show you how to go on car gurus and post it so you can make sure that you get the highest value on your car, right? We show you how to go to big, top-ranked dealerships. Car gurus is like a, like, a platform where you can go and buy cars, right? But there's a way to, like, strategically market your car to make sure that you get the highest dollar possible, right? So basically, you're acting as CarMax, right?
Starting point is 00:57:04 Because as we all know, when you go inside a car max, they're going to pay you the absolute minimum so that they could go and sell it themselves and make a profit. Right. So instead of doing, instead of going there and giving it to them, you're basically doing what they're doing. You're putting on car gurus. You're print on Facebook Marketplace. You're putting on offer up on all these other areas or all these other sites that people are looking at to purchase that same vehicle right so now you're actually getting market value which is
Starting point is 00:57:24 getting versus getting just a trade in value right and just to kind of go back a little bit on what we mean by no money out of pocket zero down what people don't understand is that the banks are going to lend up to as much as what they think the vehicle is worse right so if we go on in and we go buy a BMW a Mercedes and we buy it the right color the right interior and we get it at a lower value than what the bank is at is estimating it to be worse now they're going to lend us that money plus some so that's how we're able to get no money basically purchase this card no money out of pocket right it's not just something that we're making up there's a system to it you got to buy the right vehicle right you got to buy the
Starting point is 00:57:59 let's say BMW Mercedes CLA 250 BMW 3 series four series five series and you got to buy them at the right price and how do we get the right price check this out most of you don't understand this but dealerships when they have a car let's say it's been there for 60 days now they're having to pay interest on that car because they're not using their money They're using the bank's money too So if a car is sitting there for 60 days Now you can call a dealership and say hey yo I know you're probably paying for this car sitting on your lot
Starting point is 00:58:26 You damn near getting ready to sell it to another dealership at wholesale How about I come in and I pay you 1,000 more than the wholesale But it's a lot less than retail and they're willing to do it because guess what They're about to pay for that car anyways They're trying to get rid of it So now we come in we buy the car at the right price We go to the bank we tell them hey we're purchasing this vehicle at 30,000 They value it at 40,000
Starting point is 00:58:46 So now when we add taxes registration out the door, we're under $40,000. So now the bank, of course, is going to lend us all the money. That's major. So we're buying it undervalue, right? Then we're using a zero-down loan to buy the car, right? Then we rent it to cover the payment. We take profits on top, but we keep them 10 months. After the 10 months, we go to car, we go to Cargooros, we go to Carvana.
Starting point is 00:59:05 We get the biggest check, right? We pay off the loan. Then what we show our people is we show them how to double up. So if you got a car for $100,000, then we can go and get you a zero-down loan for a $200,000 car. That's when Lamborghini, Rolls, Rolls, is Ferrari becomes real, right? But this is the biggest part. This is what I love the most.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Because you had that car on your credit for 10 months, right? You build a comparable installment credit, right? Which means that the banks are going to look at that history to see they're going to lend on you with anything in the future, right? So, auto loans are installment loans, right? They're like, so you have a fixed rate and a fixed term, right? So because you had it the 10 months and then you sold it and paid it off and it was a $100,000 car, right?
Starting point is 00:59:43 Now you can go to Lightstream, right, and get $100,000 cash. from them to invest in anything else, right? But that's just one bank, right? Then you can go to SOFi.com, right? They do $100,000 dollar cash loans, too, right? So then you got $100,000 from NYstream. You got $100K from SOFi. You go to NAFEDAW, you hit them for $50K because you add $100,000,000 loan on your credit.
Starting point is 01:00:01 So they know that you can handle $50, right? So they give you $50, right? Then you go to World Fargo and get another $50K. Then you go to Bank America and go to another $50K. Then you go to a digital credit union, DCU, right? They'll give you another $50, right? So because we bought this car, because we understand the strategy, And we bought the car zero down, then we rented it, and we took money from it.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And then we sold it. We can go out and get $400,000,000 in cash, right? Then we can use that money to invest in bigger stuff, right? Not only can we go and get a Lamborghini, zero down, rent that cash flow crazy, but then we can start looking at, like, investing in, like, apartment complexes. We can start, we can start, we can, we can, we can, there's so many avenues you can take it, right? We all have different passions, right? But now loans how the money to, like, feed our passions.
Starting point is 01:00:42 So we show people how to capsule with supercars, right? how to make money with the supercars and how to make your credit heavy so then you can keep buying bigger and bigger cars cash flow more and more and more but then get your credit right to be able to line yourself up and do even bigger and bigger moves right so dream car academy is more than it's more than just like buying cars and renting them and then making money right it's about getting your credit super strong right it's about driving cars that we never even dreamed of we could buy right it's about like elevating our community right and not only that like we use these cars for the cash flow right but then we also use these cars to like never
Starting point is 01:01:15 work with like high network individuals right so like let's say i got a ferrari 458 right i pay 200k for bought a zero down when ferrari when ferrari san diego has private events for ferrari owners only let's see the new reveal of the sf 90 spider right stuff like that they call me right Ferrari san die will call me and say hey we're in the review of a new car it's a mini private Ferrari only event please come by we'd love to we'll kick you guys uh brunch we're gonna have full bar please come join us right so those circles you can't even pay to be in there right but because i have a Ferrari i qualified to be in there right everybody else bought this Ferrari and paid for it right and paying for it's just an expense just a liability they're losing money right we're buying these cars zero down
Starting point is 01:01:58 we're making money with these cars and then we're leveraging to meet bigger players right like like to like we met two billionaires right and to me that's huge we don't do any business for them but we had a conversation right and to me that's huge right we're our we're our son of immigrants right Like our, our parents came here without, like, knowing English, no credit, no money, no other thing, right? Single mothers, both of us, right? We're Section A boys, Fusat boys, you know what I'm saying? We, we learn how to speak English, right? But now we get to, we get to network with the most powerful, the highest elite, the craziest circles because of the car that we have, right?
Starting point is 01:02:30 And we cash flow with them. There's so many benefits, so many benefits. There's more. Oh, yeah. There's more. I mean, just let me put it this way. For those of you that are like, man, he's talking Ferrari, he's talking Lamborghini, he's talking. All these big cars, I can't get there.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Don't even worry about it because let's put it this way. A lot of you guys might be in this situation. Let's go here real quick. A lot of you guys might be at a job, right, where you're working 40 hours a week, which is 168 hours a month, right? You might be working at Walmart at a factory or somewhere you just, hey, you're not being appreciated. You're not being valued. But yeah, you're giving up 168 hours to make maybe $2,500, $3,000 take home,
Starting point is 01:03:04 which is the average American take home after taxes, right? What you guys don't know is that you can go and purchase five vehicles, right? Let's say you go get a BMW, three series, a four series, you go get a two series, a Mercedes-C-L-A-250, a Mercedes C-300. All these cars are under 30,000, right? We're not talking about Lamborghini, not talking Ferrari, right? Under $30,000, what you don't understand is that these five vehicles will profit anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 a month, right? Now, that is only going to take you to make my math simple, let's say, 68 hours a month. that means you can literally go out and get yourself a five-car fleet and make the same if not more
Starting point is 01:03:45 than you were working 168 hours for and now you're doing it for 68 hours what did we just do now we freed up 100 hours but replace your income if not maybe even increased it now what can you do with that 100 hours right you can spend more time with your family or maybe you could go open up a second business and bring in even more income you know what's cool like most of our students like this is all new to them right like they could never imagine stuff like this right we got to remember like the United States like the people in this country are poor right the government's rich people aren't rich right and that's why there's only 1% right um but most of our students will get these cool we'll take this knowledge go run with it go execute and go buy three four or five cars or just buy one or two to Ferrari Lamborghini right and they end up quitting their jobs just to run these two cars three cars because they make way more money running these cars than the job okay right but just crazy you get what I'm saying like like I'm gonna give you a perfect example we have a we have a young kid he's in our academy right. His name's Casey. He was 21 years old. He said, I want a Lamborghini. That's my dream, right? That's the biggest thing I could ever even dream of. I'm okay, cool. So we looked at his credit.
Starting point is 01:04:48 We taught him the ways. We structured his credit. Now we got him a 2016 Lamborghini Huracon, $250,000 car, zero down, right? Now he goes and he rents his car for $1,000 a day, a thousand or $1,500 a day, right? So he's adding to his income, anywhere from like $10,000 to $20,000 a month. He's 21 years old. that's crazy you know what I'm saying 21 we were still like figuring things out I was at fucking T-Mobile trying to hustle phones right I worked at Verizon trying to get people to stop at the kios and like buy a cell phone right just trying to figure things out I did construction jobs just like super low-end jobs right now he's going to make more money than then the majority of people in America do right like people talk about the 1% you have to
Starting point is 01:05:29 make over 400k like the national average you have to make over 400k to be top of the 1% top 1% do you know how much you have to make it to be 10% to be 10% to be top 10% earner in this country? I just found this number. I blew my mind. How much? $150,000. Right?
Starting point is 01:05:45 Damn. It's crazy. So some of our cars are showing our, some of our cars are cash flowing more than 90% of what Americans do in this country. It's crazy, right? So what we did is we put together this course and want to give it to as many people as possible because we are like the most underserved community, right? Like almost any community that has culture, right?
Starting point is 01:06:04 There's not really much out there for Filipinos. There's not a lot for like black. people. There's not a lot for Mexicans or Latinos, right? So what we want to do is we made a course to be able to give people the information on how to structure their credit and make it super powerful, right? We told them what banks to go to, how to talk to them, how to make that relationship, which cars to buy, how to buy them, how to how to get the car, how to market the car, how to cash with the car, how to use it to meet big players, how to use it to leverage on your social media, to bring back more business into your deals, right? There's so much
Starting point is 01:06:35 power in the supercar right so we show people not only we show people how to get regular cars right because sometimes you know somebody's dream cars a Tesla somebody's dream cars in Tacoma right you can do with that too right but we try to get people to to get to like supercars the fastest because you get the cash was crazier the attraction is better the more the more deals the more business that it comes to your business right um and then and essentially like you can quit your you can have two Lamborghinis you can have an uris and the Lamborghini hairicon you buy those cars and you do it the right way like we're going to put in this course for everybody you could be a top 10% earn in the united states it's crazy listen man y'all got to miss it's crazy dream card academy man these brothers
Starting point is 01:07:15 are giving them game up man you got a text to get the free course dream card is 619 940 1942 619 940 1942 text dream call right now they're going to give you the free course we're getting this free course so with this free course we're going to help you understand credit just understand credit but your credit because it's a party to know what you qualify for right because what's happening is a lot of people go and apply for a car they shouldn't even be applied for they're going to get denied and then they think they can't get a car right but it's just because they don't understand their credit so we'll help you understand your credit then we're going to help you figure out which cars are going to do best for your purpose what you're trying to
Starting point is 01:07:50 accomplish with right whether it's right to make the most money or use it to build the brand and bring in clientele to whatever it is else that you do right then we're going to teach you how to go out there and negotiate to get the absolute best price for these vehicles that's the important part right because you want to make sure that we want to make sure that we we are in as low as possible so that when we sell these cars eight, 10 months later, we're basically our payoff is less than what the car is worse so we could get rid of it and move on to the next step. And then we'll teach you, of course, how to put it on tour so that you can actually get
Starting point is 01:08:17 them rented so that you're not having to pay for any of it, right? Now, that's basically what you get in order to understand exactly what you need to do to drive these cars for free. But let me ask you a quick question, right? Because driving the dream car for free is dope and off, but there's so much more to it. For instance, let me ask you, if you pull up somewhere, right? let's say you're at the gas station and some do pull up in a Lamborghini and you look at it what's the first thought that comes to your money you're getting money that's the first thing you're thinking right this motherfucker's making money somehow right now let's say another person pull up in the Kia because I used to have a key in 2019 what are you thinking what are you struggling you're in thinking though you're struggling you're in thinking of the motherfucker right so these vehicles they do so much more for you so if you're out there thinking yourself man I'm already good to go I got my profession I need to be renting cars to make money now that's That's fine. You don't need to rent it, but you still need this Lamborghini.
Starting point is 01:09:06 You still need this Ferrari. You still need this Rolls Roy's because it's going to bring attention. It's going to help you build your brand. So then then you can turn that into leads. For example, true story, man. I had a Kia in 2019 and only a Kia. I was still making $40,000, $50,000 a month, but nobody could tell when I pull up to the gas station. Nobody gave a fuck who I was. Fast forward a year later, I buy a Lamborghini hurricane, bright green.
Starting point is 01:09:25 I pull up to the gas station. Now everybody wants to know who I am. It ain't me. It was the vehicle. But guess what happens? Not only do they want to know who you are, but they actually. approach you because they want to know the motherfucker in the Lamborghini. So now
Starting point is 01:09:38 they're asking what you do. That's an opportunity for me to turn that into a leave now. Right? We had a mortgage firm. So now all of a sudden I tell him, hey, we do mortgages, boom. All of a sudden it's a $10,000 check. So these cars are bringing in so much more than just the rental part. It's understanding that. So now you're in the game. But what y'all need to do right now is text
Starting point is 01:09:54 Dream Car. That's 6199-940 1942. 61942. 619940 1942 Dream Car. Plug them with my brother's a Dream Car Academy. and they're going to take you to the next level and get you in that spaceship you're looking for or get you in whatever car so you can make that money of the car
Starting point is 01:10:11 and the car being paying itself. That's right. That's what it's about. This is the latest episode of million dollars with a game in the spotlight and it's just like that. Right. So what's the tour?
Starting point is 01:10:20 When the tour starts? We got, you got to ask Snoopy Dogg. The tour started before this. Snoopy dog is busy, like shooting movies and shit. You feel me like? Oh, shit. Non-stop, all gas. I don't even know how he'd do it.
Starting point is 01:10:31 I asked him one day. I said, well, how's you doing all this shit? You know what he said? You say, Earl. He said, Cousin' Earl. I take power naps. What's a power nap? Like a 20 minute, 30 minute,
Starting point is 01:10:47 in between. Yeah. Instead of just sleeping all night, you're just power naping up to us. I like that. Yeah, it works. I know y'all going to do something big in California. You know, we launched this shit with a bunch of shows, right?
Starting point is 01:10:59 I know about it. That's how we let everybody know what was going on. Yeah, it's good. Give people learning the music and get out there and performing. Kee, you got any movies? Working, you know what I'm saying, hustling. You know what I mean? I turned down a movie because I didn't want to get the motherfucking jab.
Starting point is 01:11:16 You know, turned down $9 million. Because I didn't want to get the jab. Yeah, fuck that jab. And fuck y'all for trying to make me get it. So, you know, I don't know how Hollywood feel about me right now. You know what I'm saying? But you know what? It ain't just Hollywood no more, though.
Starting point is 01:11:34 You can go through the streaming. Streaming ain't got nothing to do. That's Hollywood, bro. Is it really? You think so? It is. It is. They're on some shit, but you know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:12:02 It turned out $9 million. I didn't turn it down. The motherfuckers didn't give it to me because I wouldn't get the shot. Exactly. I didn't turn it down. Oh, okay. It just didn't give it to me. Oh, because you wouldn't get the COVID shot?
Starting point is 01:12:15 Yeah, the COVID shot. Oh. The jab. The jab. During the planting middle, he went on poker. I didn't catch that shit at all. You didn't mean? Nothing.

Starting point is 01:13:44 you're going to love it yeah it's one of them you don't have to skip nothing it was a hard process trying to put it together because we had the uh you know 45 50 songs to pick from and I would have to say my personal opinion out of them 45 at least 30 of them
Starting point is 01:14:04 motherfuckers was up for a good candidate to be on album number one and we went through a couple of lineups it was a couple songs that really would have made it didn't make it for a little couple political reasons or whatever but man like there's some shit that ain't on the album
Starting point is 01:14:21 that's the shit and the fucking album is the shit like so just I mean just don't I'm just saying don't just be satisfied with just one little thing just no this ain't the same one little offering we're given. This is something that is a statement for hip hop. This is a statement for
Starting point is 01:14:36 the better of hip hop to show you that as a young artist here's another possibility for your future. You could be an OG artist and succeed. You know, it's another good look for hip hop as a young artist. You can say down the line, I'm gonna switch
Starting point is 01:14:53 gears and probably like partner up with my guy. You ain't got to wait to you, 50. You could do the shit when you 30. Partner up with your guy. What if, what if GZ and Gucci would have partnered up at a certain time? Like, instead of like, you know, we know the friction had to happen. Right. It happened. Real life shit happened.
Starting point is 01:15:08 But what if it didn't? The niggas went from icy to partner to staying together. Like, it would have been, like the bag would have been to E-42 short shit, you know. Like, they got the bag, but like hip-hop stories, man, like business. Like, we're showing an example of what it could be, right? Like, what could it be if y'all joined together as opposed to being ops? Like, imagine that shit. that everybody who your ops
Starting point is 01:15:29 if y'all both popular and y'all ops y'all niggas probably would be way tighter as a team as a team because you got all the fans you got all the fans and the fans don't got a split size I'm right with this nigga I'm right with that nigga fuck them niggas what if they were all together and it would just be a whole bunch of fucking love
Starting point is 01:15:43 and a whole bunch more money like nigga I would literally go tell my motherfucking app like nigga do you know we can milk this fucking shit we don't really got to be out here trying to kill each other we can actually do a little deal and we just keep talking shit about each other but we're bagging the shit up together We're on the same show, nigga, talking shit.
Starting point is 01:16:00 Man, I'll be, I'll be there. Give me some little theatrics and shit. Fuck, fuck, really trying to kill me. What is the, what is the, like, y'all amongst a group probably about, it got to be about like 20 of y'all that come from a certain era and still around. It's only about 20 y'all, I-T-L, L, L, it's like a number of y'all. Drey, it's a number of y'all. It's not a lot.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Fat Joe. You know what I mean? It's not a lot. But what is the ingredients to stay in this long? What was the ingredients, man? Consistency. You got to be as savage as much as you are humble. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:42 You know what I'm saying? You got to be a hustler. You got to be smart. You got to be in control. You got to be. Your moves got to be calculated. The way you carry. You got to be a good nigga.
Starting point is 01:16:51 Yeah, you have to. There's a lot of that he just named from LL to Buster. and you understand me and fat Joe good niggas good niggas you feel me gotta be able to stand up in any room
Starting point is 01:17:05 amongst men you can't be you know bitch ass nigga you know gotta be a pro you gotta understand um
Starting point is 01:17:15 longevity is the that that is the finish line you know you want you want to be here for decades not, you know, days or a year or two.
Starting point is 01:17:31 So you have to make sure you're always giving the people what they want. Cultivate your fan base. Don't always be trying to reach for the new shit or the new fan. You know, like when you go see artists that are, you know, if I go see Anita Baker, I want her to sound like Anita Baker. I don't need her trying to sound like, you know what I mean, the new artists, you know what I mean? her trying to sign a Beyonce, you know.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I want everybody to give me what I fell in love with them for. So that's what we do. We give our fans. They come first. Everybody else got to jump on what we own. When I say we, it's us and our fan base. And we give them what they want when they want it. And they want it all the time.
Starting point is 01:18:22 So I just think that's the key is to. to know your fan base and cater to them and get them what they want and they'll continue to support you and then other people start to join in you know they become evangelist they start to tell people
Starting point is 01:18:40 why you ain't fucking with short you know why you ain't fucking with 40 tripping shit is banging so that's the key you know we never switched up on our fan base where they don't recognize us no one one thing I learned was to adjust you got to turn with the times or the times
Starting point is 01:18:58 to turn with you but you got to do it in your way you got to give them a little vintage old school and put a little bit of that new school in it but still be you lyrically you know keep your same voice tone or whatever you know whatever
Starting point is 01:19:12 everybody identify you you know what I'm saying like I'll be a terrible I'd be a terrible jacker or robber because my voice is just give it up is that you trying to rob me behind that ski mask you know what I'm saying well no that ain't me
Starting point is 01:19:28 I ain't 40 you know what I'm just saying your voice got to stay you cube when you say when you rap on something you know that's cute when short rap on something you know that's too short
Starting point is 01:19:38 oh that's shoe short when E40 that's E40 you feel me so you can do that but just kind of like put a little twist to it like I like how
Starting point is 01:19:46 for instance Ron Isley when he became Mr. Big remember it was a whole new it was the new school twist but it's still it's Isley it was just the whole vibe
Starting point is 01:19:59 I was the Isley brothers like the music everything and I don't mind music being like that you know what you know there's no way you could you can't find anybody that mimic any of our voices like nobody ever I never heard nobody come on and accidentally mistaken him for
Starting point is 01:20:16 Snoop dog like Snoop come on that's Snoop got his own voice all the four of us if we come on a verse you know it's me soon as I come on that's me I ain't a nigga kid Like, niggas be borrowing your voice and shit And your flow They didn't get us, man
Starting point is 01:20:31 Right They didn't do us Well, that was, y'all was A different type of unique, though You know what I mean? Because a part of being a great artist Is also having a great voice You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:20:43 It takes a lot longevity It takes a lot, longevity A lot of ingredients But it ain't hard to do It's got to be a real one You know what? I'm gonna say some shit, right? And one thing that I'm happy about
Starting point is 01:20:54 is that no matter what change no matter what happened I'm happy that I was there at a moment when everybody at this table accruing you know gang star public enemy
Starting point is 01:21:11 Big Daddy King special let you know the list goes on uh y'all was the soundtrack to the struggle in the ghetto and y'all was our escape mechanism when rather you was in the house in your mind on crack you know rather you was you was in foster care wherever you was at when we played your
Starting point is 01:21:30 music i don't care if the refrigerator was empty our soul was full when chuck d came through there when q came and said fuck the police you know what i mean when when short rapped about the ghetto or when special ed said i got it made it was this feel of i got something that's why i always weighed the flag of the beginning i always weighed the flag of y'all because no matter how much money i I get, no matter what type of car grab, no way. I'm never going to stop being a fan. And I think we came to the place where, as though, celebrity and popularity is like,
Starting point is 01:22:03 oh, yeah, I see the artist that I like. I listen to their music, but I ain't going to run up on him and ask them for no picture. No, I don't get a fuck with you yet. I see a legend. I'm stopping you. Kane. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:22:14 Nigo Kane. Y'all dudes, like, y'all nurtured our soul when we was getting our ass kicked in America. We was, this one that was really going down on us. in the 80s and the shit was crack house and crack this shit was serious when that re-rock was on the scene so it was like y'all music man
Starting point is 01:22:32 it really was something and like y'all never going to die and like you know just being able to be a fan that's some of the that's one of the greatest feelings that I had and the excitement that I see because it connects me with a time where all we had was the music and it helped us get through so much
Starting point is 01:22:48 and I always want to salute you all about that and I'm never going no matter where the fuck I'm at I'm gonna be talking about rat from the beginning all way up to where years at. I could talk about it on any level from a young cat that's 17 to a cat that's 57. It don't matter. Because to me
Starting point is 01:23:04 it's like, y'all created something out of nothing and it's still here. And when Cuban and them said, fuck the police and they did anything that they did to break barriers. And Luke went to court. You know, it's Luke, shout up the Luke Skywalk, two-lar crew. They went to court and for the right
Starting point is 01:23:20 to do this. And like now it's looking like they're going to go back to court again. And fight for the rights for people to express themselves through lyrics. This is shit that was already, you know, happened, but it's like we got to look at all this shit as a whole and say without the beginning, it ain't no right now. And y'all paved away, but a lot of shit y'all had to go
Starting point is 01:23:38 through when the time wears, though, rap music wasn't as big as it is now. It was something to date, and you think was going last. You know what I mean? You had people talking about Q, fuck the police, smashing tapes in front of the courthouse, telling the system, get this shit out of here, this is not for us. you know
Starting point is 01:23:55 when like I tell people all the time I'm not saying you know you look at music and you know we say a lot of times oh the music is this the music is that the music is listen man you want a little Rahim rapping about it or you want him living the shit out on the corner you want him selling dope but you want him shooting the motherfucker
Starting point is 01:24:12 like what we're going to do we can't have both if we want him rapping or we want him on the corner because when he come up rapping it's going to be 20-30 homies is going to come up in some type of way it's going to start moving moving around, they're going to start seeing other cities with them. So it's like the same
Starting point is 01:24:28 thing that happened to y'all, but like I'm happy to be a fan. I'm proud to be a fan. And I'm thankful that I was there to listen to y'all fucking music in the hoods and look at the cars rode by with the systems banging that shit. It was like, it was something else.
Starting point is 01:24:43 It was, it, I haven't seen a movie that could truly depict it yet because it's a feeling that you can't relive. You had to be there. And I was there and I seen that. And it's like, man, y'all created, man, y'all was the soundtrack to a historical time in the black community in America, man, and they ain't going to never die down. That's all, that's everybody, school E, iced tea, a cool, I'm talking about everybody that has something to do
Starting point is 01:25:12 with this, KRA's one, you know, the list goes on, man. I can be here brand new being, everybody. Y'all all played the part in that shit, and I salute all of y'all, man. Thank you, brother. I appreciate it. I mean? I always looked at the music as our weapon to fight back against, you know, everything that was facing us. In some ways, our only weapon.
Starting point is 01:25:39 So, you know, I always knew the importance of putting the right shit in the music. You know, I'm a student of Chuck D. K.R.S. Ice T. They taught me a lot. They taught me a lot of game early, you know, ice tea. Ice cold. You know, one of the dudes who taught me, yo, make sure you can explain everything in your rhymes. Don't just rap.
Starting point is 01:26:07 You just rap. You're going to talk yourself into a problem, you know, because you're doing political rap. It ain't just rap. So that's good game. because it makes you think about every line so if anybody ever had came back and was like what shit you talk about here you know what I'm saying you could give an intelligent explanation and so you know that's game a political MC need right to be able to combat the forces that you talked about that's trying to shut the music down and um I was happy to have rap music
Starting point is 01:26:52 as a weapon to use against, you know, our oppressors to be able to plant the seeds in the youth and tell them, yo, you know, here's how the shit is really going and you got to make a decision on how you're going to combat this shit, you know, and it, you know, in some people, you know, they paid attention, some people, you know, just rock to the beats or to the rhymes but the ingredients and the medicine is always in there i learned that from the best mc's on the planet before we get out of here is any game y'all want to lay yeah i want to say something for hip-hop man you know uh just know that mount westmore is for hip-hop it's for the story of hip-hop it's for the cause of hip-hop it's just blazing trails that need to be blazed uh i hope that
Starting point is 01:27:46 you uh recognize it and see it in your future as a young emce who's getting money right now i hope you see that you can get this money forever and shit. And I do believe in hip hop. I hear the stories that we tell them in the sentiment we're on this very minute. And I do believe in hip hop. I believe that when we was all youngsters, it was a lot of niggas that was not up to par that didn't make it, didn't become legends.
Starting point is 01:28:07 They came and went. They, you know, kicked up whatever dust, didn't make it at all. Whatever the fuck happened, it was a lot. And I'm just saying that to say right now, it's a large pool of love it, don't love it, whatever the fuck, you know what I'm saying, in hip hop to right now hip hop. I do think that I trust hip hop
Starting point is 01:28:23 I do think that we are making legends right now all the bullshit going to fall to the side and when we gone or we hella oldest and they're oldies like we OGs
Starting point is 01:28:32 like we feel like they're going to be legends it's going to be some we don't know who the names are because you wouldn't necessarily pick us
Starting point is 01:28:37 30 years ago right but they there man I believe in hip hop I believe in I believe in us period so shit and I want to talk
Starting point is 01:28:45 to all the OGs out there everybody that short talking about that's been doing music over the years might have been you know got a little sour because of how things went in the music business you know what I'm saying stay creative man keep recording keep giving us music you know I'm saying even if you just got to put it out on the internet yourself but you know keep giving us the music
Starting point is 01:29:12 if you can we want to hear from some of these you know emcees that we've grown to love that we don't hear from no more because they don't have a big race record deal or they don't you know they haven't mastered the independent game but you know we want people to do it for the love you know what I'm saying give us give us them records I want to hear records from you know from all the emcees that we grew up with you know you never know what could catch on so you know don't don't get sour on the industry where you don't do do hip hop and do your music and stay creative you know stay creative let the world hear, you know, what needs to be heard.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Jonathan Scarface and Willie D. too. Oh, yeah. My message is to, my message is to the youth and to the OGs, the older guys, you understand me. Consistency is everything. Okay, let's go with the youngsters. You come across some success. that success can come and go with the hurry upness if you don't if you don't treat
Starting point is 01:30:26 what you're doing as an occupation a real occupation don't take this for granted keep your left toe on the nostril you understand me do not the grit don't quit the grit don't quit
Starting point is 01:30:42 and you look at us right here we stay grinding we never stopped we just kept pushing you know what I'm saying all the OGs out there whether you're a producer whether you're a rapper stay on it don't don't don't you ever heard when we play dominoes we say steady long steady wrong yep stop steadying so long just just do it do it whatever be don't you don't you don't have to it ain't man look if you're an innovator you're gonna do what's different innovators do what everybody else don't I consider us all innovators because we didn't do what everybody else was doing when we came in our styles was different
Starting point is 01:31:18 everything. So if you want to be an innovator and you want to leave your sin on this earth and stand in your own lane with some shit, be different. Don't be, don't be afraid to be different, man. Be different. That's why, look at me, I'm the most different motherfucker on this earth the way I poke my spit of a tree. You know what I'm saying? And then sometimes it just go over the head like what? A military stealth plane, right? They can't see it until later. So my whole thing it's a consistency, man, and stay creative. That's it. Listen, man.
Starting point is 01:31:52 You on the west side, you know? It was Mount Westmore. And we were Mount Westmore, man. I'm just thankful to have y'all. I love y'all for everything y'all did for us. All right, nigger, don't start crying. I'm just saying, man, these dudes. Yeah, you think.
Starting point is 01:32:05 Usually you already said out this. He's a little bit of 30s. I love you, diggers. We love you, too, bro. Let's do. Straight up, man. And it's just like that. Right.
