I think the, I may be wrong. But to my knowledge, the first artist that started breaking through doing that shit was Chicago artists. The first artist that I seen was Chief Keefe, who just every video was at the nika house.

Starting point is 00:04:52 for a lot of artists I talk to I'll become artists in in artists as really on it. I always go to your videos and use them like, yo, y'all got to start giving up this. They're like, what you're talking about? You've got to give up the light. I'm seeing you record on the bus, recording the hotel, recording the Airbnb,
Starting point is 00:05:09 on the tour bus, at the gas station. You're doing a whole like, the whole time we've seen you work the process, the music is playing. So I'm like, why you niggas don't give him a vlog? He's vlogging and shooting video. Whoever this editor is, they're catching all this content. You're sleeping on the tour bus. You had the hotel with the
Starting point is 00:05:24 mic right. Like, you was the first one and I seen with the whistle name Mike. You know the John would you put the... That was the first time. I said, yo, what the fuck is that? Then the studio boy was like, you got one of them in one of the rooms. I ain't know what it was,
Starting point is 00:05:35 but I thought it was like some special mic shit. But you was always on that. And when you say, and I'm big on that, all you need is a cameraman, Apollo and a MacBook and a mic. And you're out of here. If you really on that shit.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I feel like shit. When I first started, I just felt like I wasn't giving the people enough. But I didn't want to know. I didn't know how to, like, force it on them, like, big-time videos. Like, I hated them shit. So I just was like, bro, just follow me around, bro, clip. Like, one time on one of my cameramen's had put, like, a little video together, like a recap video.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And he put one of the songs over it that hand came out. Yeah, I was like, that shit. That's the music video right there. You feel what I'm saying? Like, he was following me around for, like, three weeks. And then he showed me, like, the recap of it with one of my songs over. And I was like, bro, we're just going to do it like that. I ain't fin to be, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:25 No, three-fold. I was out of video shoot and fortunate and fake acting I ain't going to be doing all that, bro. Just following me around, you feel me? That's a shout out to his cameraman because that means
Starting point is 00:06:35 when he brought you the material back it was good enough to give you a feeling of like, oh, this is a motherfucking music video right here, this is bigger than just a motherfucking recap. Yeah, like, this is my life, you feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Like, I ain't, I ain't fend to be in those studio like, you know what I'm saying? I do it now, you know what I'm saying, just to get people something like to paint the picture more vividly. But back then,
Starting point is 00:06:56 I just felt like, bro, this is my life I'm talking about. So it just followed me with the camera, bro. Like, this is my real life. People can see what I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying? People can see how I'm vlogging, how I'm rocking. You know what I'm saying? I want to really try to do the most.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I just wanted the music and the story. I wanted the music to be with the people. Like, if you don't know me for none, no drama, no rap, beef, no, none of that. Like, know me for my music, you feel what I'm saying? And my song, that's the most important part. You feel what I'm saying, the music. And that's real. I'm glad you said that because, you know, where we come from Philadelphia,
Starting point is 00:07:24 you know there's a lot of the inner cities of America a lot of rappers is known for everything but they music yeah you feel what I'm saying and that's honestly the wrong shit to be known for because if you're trying to win
Starting point is 00:07:38 in the music space you want to be known for a motherfucker that shoot niggas like that don't like no I never understood that shit like well I'm from like I don't know these niggas don't understand
Starting point is 00:07:52 like consequences of the world really come with that and I never I never really tried to paint like, share no light on that or, you know what I'm saying, be known for that, you know what I'm saying, regardless of what I'm on or what I don't do. None of that, like I never wanted to share no light on that
Starting point is 00:08:04 because I don't know, bro, I don't really seem what I come with that, you know what I'm saying? So I don't even understand why I think he wants to be known for that, you know what I'm saying? But that's just them, you know what I'm saying? I ain't knocking nobody, I'm just saying, like, that's just, that isn't what I do, you feel? And I commend you for being able to, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:19 you know, stay course. You know what I mean, of who you are? I'm trying to make it out. I said, I don't, I ain't trying to be stuck in it. And, you know what I'm saying? Like, shed light, putting a light on it. Like, even if it is, like, how a nigga got to live, like, you ain't a nigga don't want to live like that, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:35 Right. And you know, you know, what I like about you is that, you know, in this game, a lot of times you got some, we know some, I know some good dudes. There's really good dudes, but they feel as though they pressure to put this image on to be somebody. You know, like you said, known outside of the music. Every time I see you, like, we were sitting near each other, next to each other the fight, the Garcia tank fight, and you just be chilling.
Starting point is 00:08:57 What I like about you is that you chill so much that if a person don't know, if they don't know the stats, they don't know what's going on, they don't know that you, one of the biggest artists in the game. Your last four projects went platinum. That's great. Like, I haven't been to your show. Like, you sell shit out. Like, you cut the light off, they're going to sing your whole catalog.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Yeah, yeah. I mean, so it's like you're selling our shows, you're ready going to another tour. You just keep going on tours. And every time you go, it's just bigger and bigger and bigger. And once again, your last four projects went platinum. A lot of artists can't say that. A lot of artists can't see that. They got four platinum.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Shit a blessing, but it's the music, bro. I feel like it's just real life. So everybody going, everybody living real life, you know what I'm saying? Not off the ground and off the camera. What people don't show you, this real life, what I need are going through what a nigga talking about. So it's like, it's just people living with this shit, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, maybe that's why I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I know the shit of a blessing, though, man. You know what I'm saying? I think that's why you got a cold following too, though, because it's not more about, you know, the drama. Yeah. It's not about the cars. It's not about the music. You feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:10 And there's certain artists in this game, they got cult followings, but when you look at them, you like, them niggas make really good fucking music, though. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Even if it is something that's, you know, connected in the bullshit
Starting point is 00:10:23 they still make really good fucking music it all got to come down to the fucking music right that's that's the main part like I always tell people like before I was ever a rapper or before I was ever whatever you know what I'm saying I was a fan of the music first I was a fan of all these niggas like all these rappers watching them at home
Starting point is 00:10:40 watching like I just loved it the rap game you know what I'm saying it wasn't until I started saying like damn I could do this shit too because I was a consumer at one point so I know what a consumer won't you feel me a nigga wanted to hit a music man that's the main part
Starting point is 00:10:53 bro you feel what I'm saying they want to put their headphones in that funk bro some shit that nigga really want to hear listen to I get bro I got cars and war stories and all kinds of shit I could be sitting on
Starting point is 00:11:03 my shit talking about but as a ex-consumer still a consumer to this day still love music to this day like I'm talking about growing up watching this shit every generation every time the shit changed
Starting point is 00:11:13 every time the style changed in the whole hip-hop community I watched it all so you know I even know you I know I've seen every error you feel what I'm saying at home watching that shit. So it's like I knew I just feel like I knew what
Starting point is 00:11:25 as a ex-consumer like what people want. People want the music and the real life shit. You feel what I'm saying? Like that shit going to last the longest. I feel, you know what I'm saying? Who's the main people that inspired you when you was a jig coming into the game? I said Chief Keith was one of them. Yeah, Chief Keith, I was fucked up by
Starting point is 00:11:41 at Gates too. Like I used to sit at the house and watch bro, like when he first came home, his interviews and shit. You know what I'm saying? His ciphers and shit, his vlogs. I was fucked up by at Gates. I watch a lot of Kodak and shit, you know what I'm watching all of the niggas like then I can really do this shit, you know what I'm saying? But Gates was the, Gates was the one, though, hang out.
Starting point is 00:12:03 But you and Gates, y'all don't sound alike, but y'all both kind of sing, y'all both kind of do some melodies, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, bro.

Well, my heart on my sleeve, like, just leave it open like I used to, hell, nah. Like, just leaving, like, walking around with it. He said, I used to, it was my fault.
Starting point is 00:14:58 You said you was younger again, you know. He said, it was my fault, then. Yeah. He says, no, because, you know what, like, how has it been for you transitioning? because a lot of times me and Gil talk to a lot of people, a lot of artists about, you know, the side effects of success. You lose a lot of people. When the money come, the stuff come.
Starting point is 00:15:17 It's like you don't change, but people change their views of you. So how do you keep it? How do you stay there to be able to and deal with all this bullshit? Yes, still got to create, still got to take care of people that you love, that love you, no matter you got money or not. How do you keep it balanced? I mean, I just, yeah, just try to balance it. Like, I just talk about it whatever I'm going through, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Even though the shit don't change from the beginning, like, like, bro, the people who I was with chasing this shit with, like, on some everyday shit, we're in the truck, going to do little shows and shit. I ain't now one of the niggas here. Like, about four, five words, you know what I'm saying, from my kids, mama, my Uncle D, you feel me, his partner, Ray. My old came around, like, ain't none of them niggas here, you know what I'm saying. And when you, when you were at this level, like, you'd be like, damn, like, shit just changed for me so fast. You know what I'm saying? That shit is how you're like, I don't notice how you're in a weird space in your mind.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Like, I think you got all this shit. Like, it ain't the destination, bro. Like, it's the journey for real. And that's why I named this album, nostalgia. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, back then I was thinking about the future or the past instead of living in the moment. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:27 And I can't say today, like, looking back at that time, I thought it was like depressing and sad. I thought it was that. But, you know what I'm saying? Looking back at it, not like, this probably worse than that, you know what I'm saying? Like, that probably was the most fun chasing this shit, you know what I'm saying? So it's like nine nigger here, and it's like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Different battles, bro, like the shit just changed and just balancing it all, just like, damn. Now I'm saying? But that's the thing about the music, bro, and every album, like, just going to keep talking about my life and what I'm going through. That's probably why I never run out of shit, you know what I'm saying, because life just keep going, life real. You know what I'm saying? So that's just what it is, you know what I'm saying? Balancing this shit. it's just if you can
Starting point is 00:17:07 balance it if you can't I'm just keep going you know what I'm saying When you looking for producers Do you got your only house A producer you keep the same person Or you just let people submit Yeah I usually keep like one or two of the same people
Starting point is 00:17:19 Like if I'm gonna do an album We gotta think about it And when I'm listening to an album I want to hear like I want to hear like a little difference I want a different subject Like I don't want you to keep talking about the same thing So I might be talking about love or life
Starting point is 00:17:32 Or friends being happy being whatever I'm talking about you know what I'm saying I want to switch to sell it and then I might use like two or three of the same producers but then I might find like four or five of them that's new and every album I just keep it in that rotation like and then I'll be like okay I'm gonna make sure I get two or three from you because I know me the people want to hit me and you work you know what I'm saying and people love that you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:17:54 you know I think about in the album it's like I want to I want to I want to make sure I got someone that for my old my day one fans I want to make sure I got something on the people who just not getting on that for me who just not getting on to me and then I want to make sure I got something on that for the people who like who against me like
Starting point is 00:18:11 I don't follow it bro but let me see what he got let me see what he doing you feel what I'm saying so every album I try to do that like I try to just a little bit for the game new fans the people who just got on me and the people who been rocking with me you feel what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:18:22 and that's why I really like dropping projects I feel like a project is the best way to express yourself as an artist you know what I'm saying because you like you get to do you get to show them all you could do, you feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah, I use like one of the, sometimes I want to two the same producing then I switch it up a little bit. And sometimes when you give them multiple songs to go off instead of just one song, you feel me? Like, you can like song number three. But any time song number three go off,
Starting point is 00:18:49 you start to hear song number four. Eventually, now you're playing song number four because it doesn't cord on to you, feel what I'm saying? So it's always better I feel, though, to put, you know, multiple songs out instead of just trying to keep hitting them with singles, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:05 Because something could take off that you didn't even think was going to take off. Right. You'd be like, damn, I like this song going on the fucking album the least and this is the one they liked the most.
Starting point is 00:19:14 That's the crazy. It happened to you like that before? No, let me think. Yeah, yeah, it happened to me in my last album. Shit, it happened to me like. What I do is, like, I'm real self-conscious about this shit, so I'd be just leaking and shit,
Starting point is 00:19:26 like just playing snippets of the shit, seeing what they react to the most. And I thought, damn, they really like that one. I was just playing with that one. I thought it was the one I made like two months ago that I put on there
Starting point is 00:19:36 but this is the one right here so I'd be like hey wait on this shit to be all on the internet like we wait on this song drop this song and I just let them decide right
Starting point is 00:19:45 that's smart though how do you stay focused because I had a I put a post up not long ago and I told people and me and Gil got a lot of calls from from record execs
Starting point is 00:19:55 to producers to some big name artists and what I put up was I said I said after drip after parties after cars after jury you gotta have that good music and then i broke it down to how people be like people get so caught up in being you know the tic-tock stuff the pressure of instagram and all that that some of the greatest artists out here now putting out the good music
Starting point is 00:20:20 because somewhere in the studio with the engineer they leaving all the best stuff on the hard drive they're scared to put it out because they're trying to stay in the wave of tic-tok or make sure they at this party or make sure they got this drip on and make sure and it's like bro when you're gonna put that music out and we got a call from a big artist he was like yo I needed that I got all this music on a hard drive and I keep trying to measure for TikTok he was like man what so how do you stay focused and being like yo man I ain't even because you know social media is influencing the kids their adults they got everybody brainwashed yeah bro you gotta just stay to yourself like this what I like this what I want
Starting point is 00:20:55 to do you know what I'm saying because like me bro I knew what I wanted to hear when I was a certain fan of a rapper. I want to hear your album.

I want to throw that in there as well, so make sure your text that number, but, you know, we came together, we said we wanted to collaborate and not compete because a lot of times
Starting point is 00:25:42 they see young black men, you know, who got the most money, who got the most chicks, who got the most cars, but we actually came together and we got more impact. So now we're teaching the train of other people out to go out there, get their credit fix, get access to funding, go buy real estate, teach them how to buy self-stowage facilities Ultimately, it's about really funding your freedom. That's truly what I think is very interesting about y'all. You're all from three different towns, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia. But it's a little question of Smith, really, from Chicago.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I think he's from the outer side. Who got the best chicken in Chicago? Gil answered that. Harold. Oh, yeah, he's from Chicago. I got back last little bit. He's like, man, why you're going there and say Harold? Man, you're on to Gilly Mill, man.
Starting point is 00:26:20 You're supposed to say Remus. He legit just off of that? Huh? You legit just off of that? You legit just off of that? Say, Harold? Yeah. They told me it's Uncle Remus because I'm from West
Starting point is 00:26:28 But they're like, man, you're on the Gillian And while they're supposed to be saying Uncle Remus, bro You told the truth, but what's important is to see Not just black, but three young black brothers sticking together in this time where's though Everybody beef and doing all the stuff in the streets For y'all to come together, how did y'all stick together like this? How did y'all connect? You know, and how do y'all stay together?
Starting point is 00:26:48 It's really getting outside, getting the rooms, right? To be honest with you, like, we all shoot our shots in the DMs and we're trying to get checks But for me, being in New York, I'm the only one that's at this level, right? So I hit a glass ceiling. I got to get around other people. So I actually hit boom-knuck because he in Philly. And I sent him a message on IG.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I'm like, yo, bro, I see you in Philly. You buying houses. I'm in real estate. Let's connect. Let's do something together. Me and Smitty was actually in a mentorship together. Smitty, it was out of 6,000 people. He made the most money selling e-books in the whole entire mentorship.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I got to get with him. So I sent him a message. We just really started to connect just being in different rooms, getting in their mentorships and really wanting more. That's beautiful. He can be stronger together. And also give each other value. He helped me set up a life insurance policy for my son
Starting point is 00:27:29 because that's his game. And then we all about to buy a six-unit apartment building together. So we keep giving each other value. So that's why none of us are hating on each other and we keep growing within the circle. A six unit. What are y'all buying it at? In Philly?
Starting point is 00:27:40 Damn, y'all not playing. So y'all say not only is we going to come together and educate people, we're going to come together and get some money together. That's 100%. Now, everything that you're all giving out, the e-book, the business funding, the live training, in the free course what is the value you're bringing to people man so first i'm the money guys so you see me is we get in the bag we look at the bag you know what i teach you how to take your lc
Starting point is 00:28:03 get access to your first 50 000 to 100 000 in funding using other people's money you know it's because i built my legacy i'll borrow when money like borrow money off the bank money so i want to teach you okay let's leverage that go get your first 50 to 100 000 and to be straight all is legit right 100 100 we just got to use it you know 80 percent people that look like us don't don't understand it, don't know how to leverage, you know how to use it. So if you can get to understand how to use it, you'll be further quicker. You know what I mean? Because it's easier to get approved for $100,000
Starting point is 00:28:30 and to save $100,000. 8% of people in this world won't be able to save $100,000. We can get approved for it way faster, faster. So let's teach them that. And then first get the money, because you got to get the money first. You got to spend money to make money. So you got to spend money and get the bag, then flip the bag. So that's what we did a collaboration because I was teaching people how to get the money.
Starting point is 00:28:46 But then they was like, Smitty, how could I invest the money? I got to make money because this ain't my money. So now it's like, all right, let me do a collaboration with teaching how to invest the money. So then that's what they came in play. How long do it take once you get the money? How long you got to pay it back? How much do you got an interest? You got to pay on that?
Starting point is 00:29:02 Right. So we go up to zero percent interest credit cards. So we do credit card stacking methods. So if we can go get our first, the first $100,000, I'm teaching how to get a zero percent interest for at least 12 to 18 months. So that means you got a year, a year and a half, some of them, two years at zero percent interest to be able to buy. So that's like me having $100,000. thousand dollars in my hand and I passed to y'all and I say just give me a thousand dollars a month at zero percent interest for a year would you take it well people take it you know because they know
Starting point is 00:29:29 they can flip it and things like that but then it's like all right we can teach you how to do that but then also what y'all going to invest it in to create you cash flow so that that's your money you know and then we pay them their money back so we do it the right way we leverage their money to make us money pocket the money but also pay them back they money so that we good on both sides and then once you get the bread but you take them you're putting it right in the crib so right now is probably the best state not because you know everybody said you can make money you can make money but because right now interest rates and the market is so funny I'm buying and a lot of my students buying properties literally half price like one of my guys he bought house for $100,000 he got a $60 grand
Starting point is 00:30:02 because house is sitting so long so one of the things people can do just go to Zillow everybody heard of Zillow go to Zillow.com and in the top corner is going to say days on the market just click 90 days or more those houses just sitting just sitting just sitting go put offers in so if he getting you $50 to $100,000 you find a house for a house for 100,000, just putting offers at 60 grand, 50 grand. You can buy it straight off the credit card. He just got you. And that's how I'm getting them,
Starting point is 00:30:26 and that's how a lot of my mentees and a lot of my students getting them, straight off the credit card, no money out of pocket. That's major. So now, when it comes to these store spaces, man, tell me about that. Gil still got a store spot that he had for years and they just keep taking money. Me too.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And he forgot he had shit. I don't even think you're going to use the shit now. You're going to use the shit. No, man, they robbing the shit now. No, you know it's there. You ain't going to take it out or cancel the joints. I'm going to take my shit out. You're not going to use it.
Starting point is 00:30:51 It's probably dated. We all do. I got all kinds of shit in there. Bump boxes are all kinds of shit. Oh, that's where the bump boxes is that. Yeah. They got all kinds of shit I can use in there, man. Yeah, so that's what I come in there, right?
Starting point is 00:31:04 I teach them out of double up and get into the best kept secrets. So self-storage is the number one performing real estate segment out of all classes, right? And it's not as hard to get in as we think. As we used to be all, y'all rent our storage units and y'all pay it every single month, right? That's passive income. So it's a website. It's called bizbysell.com. You go on that website, you can find motivated self-storage owners.
Starting point is 00:31:26 People that own the business 20, 30 years, they're ready to sell. That's a website for motivated self-storage owners. What's the website again? Bizbuysel.com. Bizbi-sell. That's how you find a facility. People give it to the right, and then how you get the money, right? Because a lot of us, we wouldn't have got that pandemic money, that PPP, the E-I-D-L loans,
Starting point is 00:31:45 SBA loans, but SBA. You got it to? I got it to. I got it to. But I flipped the brand, right? So, but like the SBA had been around since 1953, right? But there's a loan specifically. It's called the SBA 7A loan and they finance you up to $5 million.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And all you got to do is put 10% down. And there's a small business loan to go buy small businesses. The reason why self-storage fits is because self-storage is not only real estate, it's a small business. So you go in business by sale, you find a facility, $500,000, $700,000, 10% down. That's $50,000 on the credit card. That's many got you. What I was a flip, $50,000.
Starting point is 00:32:20 that boring and now you just take that and double up and now you bring in passive income in the self storage business and then I want to add that right we also teach how to make multiple streams off one acquisition so not only do we buy the storage unit we making money right you're going to have to rent out the vans
Starting point is 00:32:35 so we partner with the local U-Ha and U-Haul runs the transportation but they give us 30% commission we partner with a local moving company and refer all of our business to the moving company we get paid we put vending machines on the facility you come in and get your snack and your drink we get paid so now you're doing one move but getting paid
Starting point is 00:32:54 four or five six times of one move and now you truly getting that freedom that we're talking about i just want to say this they got security with them right yeah yeah man that nigga about to quit i'm sorry that nigga sitting there like this yeah the whole time i was looking at him even free no man that's a player that's a player that's another plug that's another like this i got about another money this shit i ain't doing this shit too i'm a motherfucker credit cards come in with the $50,000. Yeah. I even give some more games, some direct banks, right?
Starting point is 00:33:27 A matter of fact, I put your own game with Chase right now. Chase just opened up a lending criteria where they can get you up to $100,000 limit on one credit card. A friend of mine got $100,000 limit on one credit card. That ain't normal. So if you meet the right criteria, your credit being good, you can get $100K on one credit card. That's Chase.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Then we can go to another bank. Truers. Truers give you up to $50K, no documentation. So we can get in this money, too, with no tax returns, no paycheck steps, no bank statements and all that, we're going directly into the banks and getting this money no documentation. So we can go to Trude Bank and get up to $50K, no documentation. We can go to Key Bank and get up to $50K, no documentation.
Starting point is 00:33:58 So the money we come in to get... That's the credit card you're talking about. That's the credit card you're talking about. Hey! That's the one you're talking about with a hundred thousand on that. With a bean on it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:13 And with a beanie Siegel. Yeah, talk to me. I'm like, wait, he's talking about this shit. I got in my mind from. He said, let me pull it out. I'm going to get the high limit, though, because everybody's going on line, like the mask, right? I think this is the high limit.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I don't know if you did it, right? I can tell you I'll get a higher limit. Everybody go online, right? And they apply for it, like, online. Everybody got, like, the masses. We don't do that. We go inside the banks and build a relationship. That's why relationships are so important.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Y'all say this a lot, too, because you go in the bank and you build a relationship with a business manager that hosts with the business products. And then now you put your application directly through him with a special note that says what you need the money for, you know, and then you're pushing the application directly
Starting point is 00:34:51 with the business manager himself and now that's a whole different approval process than you're going online with the masses. You're going there with a proposal. Yeah, I go out. I said, I'm going to use this money for marketing. I'm going to use this money for my real estate project.
Starting point is 00:35:02 You're showing where it's going at and where how you're doing it? So now they're willing to give me more money because I'm not just applying online like everybody else, you know what I mean? So now they're willing to give me more money because my rep is putting a special note in it and I'm going inside the bank
Starting point is 00:35:13 with a different push through. So it's a different process. Talk heavy. Who do they pull from? They pull it from experience. They pull from experience. So another one, Alliance Credit Union, everybody can go on this website right now. They pull from TransJune.
Starting point is 00:35:23 They'll get between $10 to $20,000 right now. I'm talking about you can go open up a tab, put a whole website up. I got so many people that got approved for $10 to $15,000 within 10,000 and 15 minutes. Right there, the car hit the mill in three days. That's another one they can do. So they can get that right now. That pulls from TransUnion. Then set up the appointment with Chase to go in the next couple of days to go get up to $100,000.
Starting point is 00:35:44 So now they got plays for days just all there. So basically When I come and get this First of all I'm getting the two e-books It's going to be a bunch of information there But at this live training What I'm getting? What type of game I'm getting? Funding and real estate
Starting point is 00:35:59 Credit funding and real estate So it's all steps Want to get your credit to 700 or higher Then we want to go load you up on the funding And take the fund and put it right in the real estate So you can flip it by bigger units And keep going and get passive income Every single month or just go ahead and get big flips

I feel like, bro, a lot of people be caught up in the, they caught up in the fate, the whole facade of this shit. Like, I think a real person, bro. Real human, bro. Like, there's a lot of more people know me than a regular person who are 9 to 5. But the people, we all regular people.
Starting point is 00:47:25 You bleed, I bleed. Absolutely. They all the same people, bro. We all are people. Absolutely. And we all go through, you know, life. Life be lifing. Yeah, do you feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:47:36 It don't matter how much money you got. when somebody in your family pass that don't stop you they don't make you feel better you feel what I'm saying so life always lifeing and we just people who just so happen to be good
Starting point is 00:47:51 as something that we do yeah I thought I thought when I got money shit life was gonna ease up a little bit that shit turned up man turn the fuck up man they ain't put a little fame and other than you got money and fame
Starting point is 00:48:03 like you'd be scared to wake up the first thing you do grab you a fool man make sure everything you're right shit yeah because too a lot of times you know I don't know
Starting point is 00:48:13 your situation but a lot of times when motherfuckers come from that bottom and they get successful you know what I mean people be dependent on you you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:48:23 fucking calls you get every time sometimes I'll be feeling like motherfuckers be making up shit to get money from a thing yeah you feel what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:48:31 like that shit doesn't even sound right that motherfucker's story like family family friends but that's not really even about the money
Starting point is 00:48:40 it's like it's a lot of people who depend on you but it's also a lot of people waiting on you to like fall or waiting for you to like you know what I'm saying or people who ain't happy or people want to prove
Starting point is 00:48:49 prove like nigga you ain't know about like it's just a lot that come with this shit see that's the that's the that's the history of black people man they're championing the nigga
Starting point is 00:48:58 to the top and then once you get there they championing you to the bottom yeah I'd be looking at blog and shit I'd be like man when I wanted to get my mix tape off the ground
Starting point is 00:49:07 Why y'all weren't posting the nigga then? Yeah. Why y'all want, you know what I'm saying? I'm one of the promoter show or something, why y'all want to post a nigga then? But now the day I get on the, you know what I'm saying? In the internet, every blog site in America, all kind of shit, every black blog site in America
Starting point is 00:49:21 want to post you, and, you know what I'm saying? And spreads from drama about you. She don't even got to be true. A bitch or say whatever. Right. And they're going to post it and people just going to go along with it, you know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Especially if it's bad, but it's like, shit, when the nigga need to hell with that music, you know what I posted me? So it should be illegal to post a nigga now. If you want a posting a nigga then, don't post a nigga now. Don't say, don't even say my name. And that's the beauty of coming to me and Ozworth again because we don't get into that messy shit.
Starting point is 00:49:44 We don't care about it. We ain't messy chasers. We don't wake up every day like, oh, I got to find out what happened a day so I can post a blog. We don't even ask about current events when we do interviews. We interview a motherfucker to find out who he is
Starting point is 00:50:01 that you all see a different side. We ain't wet, set no landmines down. They got to worry about coming in here, stepping on a landmine, losing your motherfucking leg because the nigger is going to ask you some dumb shit, man. So I understand you, you know what I mean? And a lot of times, a lot of the blogs be way older than the young motherfuckers,
Starting point is 00:50:21 and instead of trying to put some protection on them, y'all be trying to get some motherfucking views. Y'all don't give a fuck about discrediting the niggas' life. And messing his whole career. Yeah. fucking the niggas old career about some fucking views I go along with the um
Starting point is 00:50:36 with the facade all the people living there facade they feel like all the famous people just ain't real they don't got no feelings or like fuck them you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:50:44 I just said that old Miguel interview they got kids and moms and shit you're saying if you're posting shit about a nigga you're talking bad about a nigga
Starting point is 00:50:50 you think a nigga mama you're feeling see that or my kids when they get older they might be able to see that
Starting point is 00:50:54 my little cousins or my little nieces and shit who fucked up by the nigga or my little sister who she go to school with all these kids
Starting point is 00:51:00 and you get to say something about me You know, my sister's got to go to school on Monday, you know what I'm saying? Like, people don't understand. We're real people. I'm a real person, you know what I'm saying? We're all real human beings, like we're with ties and people. So, and the whole world on the internet, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:51:14 The whole world, ain't nobody who ain't on the internet. So that's like real life, you feel what I'm saying? So you just get to say whatever you want out to the mouth about a nigger and you don't care you because, you know, you get to go back to your regular life. Your face ain't even on your blog. Right. So you just get to post whatever about a nigga, click over to your regular page and leave your regular life with your mama or your grandma or your grandma or your cousin and shit, your life ain't even bothered, you know what I'm saying? But it's people who are famous and shit, we real people too.
Starting point is 00:51:40 And we got every day of our life, we got to explain ourselves or, you know what I'm saying, or defend ourselves, you know what I'm saying? I feel like, bro, if you do some shit, you got to deal with it, but it's like, you know what I'm saying? Like, God damn, everything a nigga do. Yeah. It's real. The reality of it is, too. I'd be feeling bad for other people.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I see another rapper or somebody else going through shit. I'd be like, damn, I just try to do it. scroll past it real fast. Like, I ain't support that's it, bro. If I see even another rapper, another famous lady or girl, like, getting bashed or somebody talking about them, I just be like, that's fucked up, man.
Starting point is 00:52:12 I just scroll past it, because I know how I feel. You know what I'm saying? I mean, at the end of the day, what's so fucked up is perception is reality. So if one motherfucker post, oh, ride this such and such, then you just see that with no facts, you snack, screenshot that.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Now, 30 more blogs. Now that's the story. Now it's true. Right. It's fucked up, but now it's true. And when they get corrected, but guess what? Nobody hear about it.
Starting point is 00:52:39 I guess what when they say, the nigger Rod got full platinum albums back to back the back to back the back. If I scroll down, I don't want to even see that. I don't hear about that. You feel, me. But the nigga Rod,

Starting point is 00:53:19 they know what's going on but you got to understand this and like you said that's why we bung straight to the point like when we talk about the views on your YouTube and your content now you got to think about this it's only you did 4.5 billion views on YouTube so there's only 8 billion people on

Them chicks was losing their minds, man. So for me, man, a lot of times the hate come with the game. They come with success.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Right. You know what I mean? And that's just the flip side of having all the money, having all the things that come with success on this side. You know, something bad got to, you know. Right, she got to pay. The way it out, you know what I mean? But it's always more good than the bad.
