Starting point is 00:00:00 The Sharp Tank, no jumper. Sharpest, coolest podcast in the world. In the world, Craig. And today, yes, yes. And today, that's one of the Bay Area's finest in the building. I see FOD did come through the building, man. Y'all did come through deep today, man. I liked that.
Starting point is 00:00:23 I was like, damn, I'm thinking, you know, of course, Dane, Dollar Dane, my man, you know, I love having you here, man. you know and i appreciate you from bringing field with you as well you know what he's gonna he everywhere yeah i'm just here for moral support man y'all yeah hey the whole the whole f o d squab move right i that's why i love about y'all man you know and i've had uh personal relationships with a few members you're saying from from the music group you know what i'm saying just from that whole organization so it's just good to get y'all up in here man and just you know bring to bring the culture
Starting point is 00:01:02 boy you know I fuck with you you my nigga bro but this ain't even about you today church you go about him this one out on the bench for a second we hopping in the fourth quarter right now church and this is man I'm gonna ride the bitch today man dollar what's going on man everything shit shit you know trying to stay on the right path fuck with this music shit and yeah they're out the way it really go but really focus on this music shit right now though that's what's up dollar before the music yeah for any of that. What was you doing, man?
Starting point is 00:01:36 Where was you, man? Where are you from? I'm from East Oakland. So, you know, out there, like, coming up, like, if you ain't got no job or if you ain't, like, going to school and shit like that, you're probably going to be running the streets. So, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:01:48 I was shit just running the streets, really, though. You know, outside, doing what most of my peers and shit was doing, though. So, you know, but that's what I was doing before the music, really just getting in trouble, shit, running around the streets, shit like that, trying to, trying to just figure out,
Starting point is 00:02:01 you know, life and shit like that, trying to do that was it though yeah the music what inspired you to jump towards the music any events before that just kind of maybe took a term for you um i felt like i always was like fucking with the music like niggott be like high school niggas was rapping in class beating on the table i feel like i always like just had a passion for the music shit so it would just more so like um always just had a passion for this shit like i feel like might have just been a guy giving talus always just you know what i'm saying experimented with it just as far as i can remember high school and shit like that, but on the serious side of things,
Starting point is 00:02:34 it really wasn't tired to start seeing, like, you know, like people from my area, like, feel, and shit, like, nicks make money off of it. Like, so they, you know, you start to be intrigued by it, you know what I'm saying? So that's kind of like what it was, just to kind of see people moving in a different light coming from the same area that I come from,
Starting point is 00:02:48 and be like, damn, like, also being that I also like to do music, you know what I'm saying? But sometimes everybody I don't know how to get involved in it. You know what I'm saying? You might have a talent, but you don't really know how to put yourself a position to actually turn into some revenue. Yeah, you know, the resources. so you know shit uh but other than that i kind of like i always did the music shit you know i'm
Starting point is 00:03:04 saying since high school and shit just whatever fucking with the music i always did that shit yeah always yeah something that you've always loved then say fucking why not start taking it serious yeah for sure yeah oh yeah yeah it's got to be crazy man because you know i've always in the bay man you've always had culture you know especially in the music you know and just music just overall man y'all always been making noise man for sure you know i've always loved that about you too though dollar because you always stayed at your craft man no matter what this was your main thing you know and now man how's it been treating you has it been all right for you it's been good though I ain't gonna a lot like I kind of felt like
Starting point is 00:03:41 at the beginning like if you like see a lot of people I think people get discouraged with certain things because they don't have certain platforms out there so people be making shit and they not heard so I feel like once I got myself with the right situation and I was able to be put on certain platform and shit like that it actually was a good response so it was like you know what I'm saying so I feel like it would start working out cool, you know, like features and shit like that. And just actually being able to make some money off something you love doing, that just within itself, whether it's a lot of money, whether it's a little bit of money, is actually being able to make some money off of it once you get the business side of things together.
Starting point is 00:04:12 That was a beautiful thing. So shit, it's been good, though, you know. Nobody ever talks about the business aspect of the music game. So just even hear somebody say that, man, you know, like let them know, man, what you feel like people should do first before they even try to attempt to go and drop a record somewhere? What would be your response to that? I would just say most definitely like if your whole thing is to try to make some money off of it, I'm like you need to have it distributed through somebody that's going to actually be able to track down some streams and whatever if you got views.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Because there'd be artists out here, they'd be having hell of views on YouTube. And then you might think that they got something going on, you're running to them and they'd be like, damn, they don't got nothing going on. Like as far as financially, you're like, damn, man, making them money off. You know, so the business side of the thing, I feel like, if you know who's going to distribute your music, you know what I'm saying, get with somebody that you trust. You know what I'm saying? A platform that's solid or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:02 So whoever going to distribute it, make sure you got that together and shit like that, make sure you know some platforms you're going to drop your own. You know what I'm saying? I feel like platforms is very important. So just shit like that though, you know what I'm saying? But that's small shit, but at the same token, it's hell of important. Because anybody could rap, like, it might be a million motherfuckers. Somebody might walk past right now.
Starting point is 00:05:20 He might be popping up somewhere and be like, we never heard of him, though. Like, you know what I'm saying? Just because it might be doing good on whatever on SoundCloud or something. You know, I mean. So I just feel like, shit, make sure you got good platforms. You know what I'm saying? And a good distribution, like situation so you can be able to get your, you know what I'm saying? Some money off that shit.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah. Because you're dropping music and letting you just doing this shit for fun. I feel like what I don't like is, man, these cap rappers and the ones that have all these fake views. You know what I'm saying? Or these, like they'll go and buy like all these followers. You know what I'm saying? You had one million yesterday. We woke up today, nigga, you got fuck.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Yeah, that shit be going on. Like, I watched that type of shit go on. You know what I'm saying? In the music game and like what people try to really get on because I think they feel like it's, oh, the more I look like I'm popping, somebody's going to want to come drop me the bag. But you really don't even got the material
Starting point is 00:06:20 nor the catalog to even step up to even take somebody's money. For sure, though. That should happen a lot, though. But at the same token, it's like it's business. So, you know, so some people gonna play the game like that. Some people gonna look at it more from the perspective of like, well, if I look like something, then people gonna come fuck with that.
Starting point is 00:06:37 It might work for you too, though. If I see somebody got 10 million views and we're looking back and we're looking at your Instagram, a nigga might want to go grab a feature from you. Not to say, you think that my fuck might do 500 views. You're gonna be like, damn, my boy, I thought you were going crazy. He really wasn't going crazy, you feel me? But then you were paying all this money though. Like what if you did go get a feature, right?
Starting point is 00:06:56 I say it's you, you went and got a feature. This man looked like he popping like a motherfucker, dang. And you're like, all right, I'm gonna spend this 15 piece with you, you know? And you get it and as soon as you drop it, you think this nigga's shit's popping. Yeah. No, he knows that shit's going, but look though. It's shit you got to take it on the chin though. Only thing you could do is just, I mean, you could slander, a motherfucker, get on the internet
Starting point is 00:07:16 and go on the crazy-ass rant, but that's gotta be who you as a person. I'm gonna type in there, I didn't go through so much and like this, you know what I'm saying, me photo music. Right. sometimes so if a nigger win or it go good you like real shit looking though you feel I'm saying but a nigger come from like certain walks of life to where you like I knew that shit was gonna you know what I'm saying you already be known for you walking to that shit half the time you just actually might be trying to set yourself to do something good you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:07:39 it might work it might not but it happens all the time though my nigga I'm gonna keep it might not even promote your shit on their page and they you know what I'm saying and they capping like following real and none of that shit so you gotta take that shit on a chance sometimes unless you want to fight or ask for some of your money back I don't know you Me, me personally, I might hit him and say something like between me and them. I might not go public with that shit and none though like on no internet trying to, you know what I'm saying? Or I might just shrek it off.
Starting point is 00:08:05 You feel, feel, me? Or I really don't fuck with nobody though to keep right, paying them, you know, 15,000. I got gang, you feel me? I got all-star squads. So it's like, I don't even got that even, you know what I'm saying? It's like, so. But at the same time, if I did do that and happen, so I'd be mad than a motherfucker, though, for for sure.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah. What are you, because you've been rapping for a while, what are you? make of the music game today? Overall, or just like where I'm from, just in general? We can start from just even where you're from. Then we'll go overall. So I want to know both your points. Like just even from where you're from, what do you think of the music game in the Bay Area, man?
Starting point is 00:08:38 What do you think of it today? I don't know. I feel like it's standing strong, and you feel like, man, it's improved me. Honestly, I feel like, I feel like it's cool. It's a lot of talented motherfuckers from there, but I feel like, I feel like we lose in touch with the origin of sound. You want me to be honest, though, you feel me? As far as just like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like we, I feel like, I feel like we sound like a lot of different other places you know what I'm saying but I
Starting point is 00:08:58 feel like there's a lot of talent down there I just feel like we very overlooked I feel like a lot of motherfuckers come down there and get lingo sauce how motherfuckers drink you know I'm gonna come down there for everything and not giving nigger credit everybody down there everybody coming down to the bay you know whether they gonna speak highly about that motherfucker not they down there doing something you know I'm saying but at the end of the day though um I feel like I feel like we got a lot of challenge around that motherfucker I feel like we overlooked though you know what I'm saying I just feel like I just
Starting point is 00:09:24 like we don't get our just do as far as just like the music you know what I'm saying we just very different too though like you know like in the bay we don't really we don't got no gangs or nothing down there so it's like we also just got a whole different type of you know energy whole different type of culture down there you know it's different from other places because we don't got the gangs and all that type of stuff so you know just lingo it's a different shit though so it's like a lot of motherfuckers do come down there and fuck with us but I feel like they don't be willing to like just really shed the light all the way on the shit you know what I'm saying so I feel like it's all over little
Starting point is 00:09:54 at the same token, but I feel like, shit, it's a lot of talent around that motherfucker, though, for sure. You branching out and seeing the music game as a whole today, what do you think of it? Like when you was coming up and music was really thriving. To me, man, I feel like it's just a lot of, it's a lot of cap rap today, man.
Starting point is 00:10:13 That's what it is, though. A lot of people, and we're gonna talk about this shit. A lot of people sit there and talk about a lot of shit in their music that they're not doing. But you know at the same token, like, Or done. When you look at it on the business side of shit, though, a lot of these labels don't really,
Starting point is 00:10:28 can't really take the time to invest in the motherfucker just doing that. Like, even just on a smaller scale, like, you might be talking to breadbox and shit, might be going through whatever, whatever, some shit outside of music. And brook gonna tell a niggas and shit like, man, you know, don't fuck with no shit. Like, that shit ain't what it is, you feel what I'm saying, though?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Because, like, if something happened to you when you go to jail, like, what good are you to, whether you're following or whatever you're trying to do as far as your career, say, go. You feel what I'm saying, though? So, when you get to a certain level, like, on some industry shit, Yeah, they better be kept rapping, but I feel like on the underground shit, I feel like it's not.
Starting point is 00:10:57 You see all these rappers just dying right now? So obviously it's a lot of truth and a lot of that shit that they is talking about. It is a lot, but I feel like that's on the more mainstream skill. You know what I'm saying, though? I feel like a lot of the underground rappers right now, man, it's a lot of shit going on. You feel what I'm saying? We could judge is evident with all the motherfuckers getting killed and shit like this. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:11:18 So I don't know. I just make it this shit as just like right now. I just feel like it's a popularity context. That's my mother-in-law, if you, if your click got this and they got that, then motherfuckers gonna flock to it, whatever motherfucker's doing, you know what I'm saying? Speaking of, speaking of clicks, and you, how has it been for you signing to FOD and, you know, repping the FOD brand? It's been great.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's cool. It's like a family, you feel me? So that's why I say, like, I don't got to go outside the camp, put an album together, like unless a nigger, you fuck with you. I don't need no features. We got an all-star squad over there, you see me? We're deep, you feel me? So it's cool because it's like some motivation that, as well, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:53 well too. Some days I might not feel like doing music but then I might see somebody on the label might drop some cool I might go to their page and they just they just went up so I'd be like damn I need to go up I ain't working you know what I'm saying so it kind of keep a motherfucker like a well oil machine to where like if I'm sitting back then somebody else got something going you know what I'm saying or they got some going but it's also motivated at the same time because it's like now I got to get on my shit he just went crazy bro just went crazy you know what I'm saying so but like it's cool outside of the fact that we so deep we really can't flood y'all as much as
Starting point is 00:12:23 might want to hear from our artists because we got a like rollout to everybody's exclusivity though I like that though yeah you know so it like keep it like that too though you might not hear for me with every four months or some more project wise or something like that five months because you know we want everybody to kind of like be able to drop some shit and shed some light on whatever project might be going on at the time you feel me but I feel like it's a lot of motivation come with that shit too though because I keep me on my shit when I see niggas going crazy you feel me yeah hey because I ain't go a lot I'm gonna bounce over to him yeah he'd been
Starting point is 00:12:53 signing motherfuckers, man, and making it look real easy lately, man, and just doing what you doing. Man, what's been going on with you, man? You've been just putting this super army together, man. They've been talking about you, Jack. I just been doing my part for the east. You just signed another Bay Area Ork? Yeah, Young Jr. I just signed him.
Starting point is 00:13:16 That was the last one just signed. But no, like, even like with, like, not to get off topic, but even like, with my giveaways. I always like growing up, I'm like, okay, cool, this ain't what going on, it's not what's going on here. So when I'm able to do it, that's what I want to do. So like, same thing with the music. It wasn't nobody really from my side of town
Starting point is 00:13:41 that you feel me, trying to help the up and coming or the youngsters or the next up. So I'm like, this ain't what going on. So when I'm on, this is what I want to do. So like I really like sit back and like study and pay attention to everything. Okay, cool, when I'm in position, this is what I'm gonna do.
Starting point is 00:13:58 You know what I'm saying? When I'm able to do it, this is what I'm gonna do. You know, so. Y'all turn into a super team, man. Like just the way y'all move, y'all push the music, you know, one of my favorite songs that man, that you had just dropped it was with the Pablo, it was featuring Pablo Skywalker, and I think that's his name, right?
Starting point is 00:14:14 That motherfucker man, bang. Yeah. Love one, I like that. Like, y'all sound is like, because y'all still, you keeping it still original, man. And traditional, I like that. You're not just trying to be the, offbeat rapper or the
Starting point is 00:14:27 and I ain't knocking them I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with that type of music hey man my book is like what they like that's the sound I be looking for though you know the FOT you man FOD y'all cut that for me I listen to a lot of y'all shit so that's all I'm like I don't know I just don't like where music has
Starting point is 00:14:42 gone today man that's why to ask you damn like what do you you feel about it being in this industry today and having to you know go up against a lot of things like that like man them struggles like, man, this song might not be as hard as yours, but it's getting more play. Like, you're like, damn, why it's getting airway?
Starting point is 00:15:01 It's it make you feel. I mean, I go, at the beginning, I used to kind of look at that shit and, like, be really ready to speak out about this. Like, man, this shit, we knew. I'd understand it's like, the more I got into this shit and I started understanding the business side of shit, I'd be like, nigga just putting more bread into some shit. Niggas just paying for this. Or, you know, it's like, nigga got a line on something.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Like, you got to connect, you got the plug, you know what I'm saying? So some of these niggas just be signed to these major labels who are going to just push him through like that you're gonna repetitive airway you can sing songs you be like i don't like that shit this shit going crazy you know what i'm saying so it's just like i don't know i i used to feel the type of way about that shit but i just stay in my lane you for what i'm saying and just like focus on what i'm doing i really i really like to do music when i really you know what i'm saying really feel like doing this shit so at some point i just be on some shit like i'm just doing this shit because i love to do this shit you know i'm saying i used to get discouraged by that
Starting point is 00:15:47 shit but i don't really pay attention to that shit no more than what they like you know what i'm saying yeah it is what it is I some shit I can't compete with like them motherfuckers on that type you feel me you're all things that I can't do nothing about that I mean we're not talking about but come on y'all let's be real we ain't talking about Drake here yeah I can understand we're talking about that level it's like yeah who can compete with but we're talking about a motherfucking church that ain't ever did nothing and just made a song about liking cats some weird shit and just the shit is what they'd be liking sometimes yeah I understand no, too.
Starting point is 00:16:23 It ain't just about the song. It's about the person also. Is he marketable? Is he a people's person? Is he able to come through interviews? Is he able to like the room up? Yeah, for sure. He's got charisma, you know what?
Starting point is 00:16:37 It ain't just because it could be a nigga that got buzzing to come in here and just be like this. Not a people's person. And then nobody likes him as a person. Yeah, for sure, for sure. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of people blow just being a good people person don't even have the music.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah, that's true too. That's basically like what's like the real shit. Social media people, what is like the public figures? Yeah, public figures. They just don't even got shit. Just like you as a person. Just like you as a person. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:06 Like me, I kind of like understood the fact of the people, the fans, they really liked it. The vlogs better than the videos because they can see you as a person and see you in the hood, see you at the store, see you with your kids, like get a feel for you. More than just a video on the song, you're rapping and go off. Like, he, oh, he's really a cool person. And then a lot of people, like, you know, that's not in the streets. They go to that for the new lingo.
Starting point is 00:17:33 What's going on in the hood? Like, what's new? Okay, you know, Filty, you're going to have them new. You feel, me? Whatever's going to be. And they feed off that. You know what I'm saying? But a lot of people, they love them.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Like, I got vlogs that have did numbers like videos. Like just sitting there watching it. That's true, too. Yeah. It's like really doing nothing. Just running around friends, though, just filming me. Like in the hotel room, you know what I'm saying? And they love it.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I'm going to ask you first, and then I want to ask you as well, is there anybody that was a role model to you that made you want to fuck with the music? Like, even if it was just like an artist you've seen, it ain't even got to be nobody from, you know, where you're from. It could just be somebody you saw and was like, man, I like, I like, I like, I like him. I kind of want to get my music. A role model, I really ain't, really ain't had no role model, but I've seen, like, certain artists from the East, like growing up on seminary, like,
Starting point is 00:18:21 keek, the delinquents, you got I'm saying, you see Rich you're rich, you know what I'm saying, like yuck, shit like that, because yuck right up the street. You know what I'm saying, but like, not really a role model, I like took like, you know, like a liking to you and molded you into that. Yeah. I just looked up, I really, my role models
Starting point is 00:18:39 is the nigga that was on the corner. You know what I'm saying? Like them niggas having old schools and bitches coming through and they have money and chains and they sell it dope and they fly. Them was my role models. Yeah, I won't get some. Like them, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Then the rapper came. Right, right, right, right. Is that what made you you felt like them two things go hand-in-hand is? It's raping the street, niggins. The streets and music go hand-in-hand. Sure, like a mother-pud. But now is they put the politics into the music. So it's like, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Like back in the day, if you had a problem with the person when I see him, I'm on him. It wasn't, oh, you talking to him, I'm on you too now. You know what I'm saying? Now, you know what I'm different. Oh, you do a song with him? Yeah, it's a bad. Oh, you're with him now. I'm on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Like, yeah what I'm saying? I'm gonna diss you too in the song because you did a song with him. Like, you get him saying, like it's crazy now. Like, it's different. Like, back in the day, you had a problem with a nigga, you took a problem up with him. You get him, like streetwise. Niggas be dimming me about shit.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Now, you can't even do a song with a nigga. You're all in his, now you're in his politics. You're from where he's from. You got the same opposite as him. He got the same opposite as you. You get what I'm saying? Y'all don't even know. I might not even know what this nigga beefing with them.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I don't know. I'm about to twist this one up because I'm going to ask you artist. Does FOD condone this music? What do you mean? Like if somebody wanna put out disc songs y'all condone that
Starting point is 00:19:55 disc songs are like do y'all just push past it and you can just stay balling some people do I didn't do it I'm gonna keep it
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'm gonna keep it real to each his own you feel what I'm saying though like because niggas have this songs you feel what I'm saying though niggas got songs where they take it
Starting point is 00:20:09 I don't feel like we the type of motherfuckers that just go dishing motherfuckers though I don't feel like nobody that's on the squad nigger didn't make a song just because a nigga
Starting point is 00:20:18 didn't like it It obviously something took place or they said something first and so so niggas were climbing. Like if somebody made one about you for somebody says something, would you look past it or do you engage? No, it's not hell of songs out. Niggas, niggas got to ask these questions. This is my job. I've done. I've done.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I've done. No, it's a lot of song floating around. I ain't turning nothing down with my collar, right? But at the same time, it's some niggas that's not even a respectable rival to respond to. Yeah, that's true too. So it's like, like, oh, so. Okay, I'm gonna say this. Niggas have made this songs about beat me for.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I didn't tell them my artist like, man, y'all. How'd you feel? How'd you feel? Yeah, when you got your first disc song that came your way. How'd you feel? When the ones came my way? Yeah, when you got your first one that came your way, like that made me like, yeah, I'm on that, I'm going to that, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:21:07 I'm just saying in general, like, them, I always tell them like, man, y'all leave that shit alone. Yeah. You get what I'm saying? Because I don't want to throw them niggas out there like no pines, you get what I'm saying? Right. Or put them out there because, you know, shit might happen behind that shit.
Starting point is 00:21:18 So with that being said, like, I just, nigger make a song about me. I didn't, I didn't turn to it. Like, you feel? I didn't turn to the line. I ain't about to say that that, nigga. Yeah, it's different. And I turned it up, too.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yeah. So, you got to be one of the ones, though, for me to respond. You can't just be, you know what I'm saying? Like, as of right now, but back then I would really respond to anything. To a lot of, yeah, I'm about saying. He got a few. Like, like, back then I would have responded to any, a nigga left for bad comment. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:21:45 But then I had to, like, understand the game. Like, everybody ain't going to like it. Like, everybody, I'm not a nigga that everybody going to like. You know what I'm saying? I feel that. The type of music that I make, I might be making getting money music, and it might be a homeless thing over there. I'm not dissing him, but he don't want to hear that shit.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Facts. You know what I'm saying? He don't want to eat. I'm over here living outside. I'm homeless. I'm starving. You over here talking about Rose trucks and Bentley trucks and Lambo truck. You know, I want to hear that shit.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Not saying that. Not saying the music is bad, just don't relate. Right, yeah. He might want to hear some shit about a nigga living in his shelter or, you know what I'm saying? Shit, shit, yeah. Yeah. So, that's just what it is. How you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:22:26 I feel like, he for sure got a few. He was to be firing off, you feel me? Like, he's going to respond. I'd be having them already tucked ready. I'd be expecting him to come. Yeah, I ain't going to lie. I didn't probably threw some shots or stuff, but, like, at the end of the day, though, like, I try to not.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You know what I'm saying? Because I know that like, for what? You feel what I'm saying, though? Like I guess if we run into you, I guess what we see if it was really that when I see one of you, yeah, that'd be the thing too. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:22:53 That's the type of time I might be on. To the niggas, it don't be that. You feel me? So that's why I really be like, oh man y'all nigga was playing. It's like, you feel like I'm, you feel like I'm about to sit down here and wasting a little rassin'nickers
Starting point is 00:23:03 ready to make money off this shit right now. So I ain't really got no rassar to be wasting on no, you feel me about nothing. But damn, it's gotta be a day that just sometimes you don't want to hear that shit. Like saying, you overlook it a lot, right? Like, say, if it comes to you, you just overlook it like, man,
Starting point is 00:23:17 you ain't talking about nothing, but just to be that day that you just, it ain't your day. And the niggia just kind of at you, like, you know what, fuck you bitch-ass, nigga, you entertain it. You know what I'm saying? I ain't going to lie. I have you for, though. I'm petty.
Starting point is 00:23:30 But I'm a comedian, though. So I'll be petty. I'll be funny with it. Like, I'm going to go to your page and see what you got on. all that and send it to the designer the store and then and see what we're talking about then tell him I need that same outfits you got on and see their response to you know I'm gonna go see this and send at the fake watch busters and see what they say what they say yeah you know what I'm saying so I can't be arguing with a nigga that's living like this
Starting point is 00:24:01 y'all might do something like that before I do this song this who y'all room for yeah I might do something like that before I do the song because at the same time it's like being a comedian. Yeah, you feel me? That's how we really met. I know, though. Yeah, you feel me? How we really met, this nigga was cracking jokes back in the day.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Yeah, so shit like that. So, like, I might do that before I actually make a song, just on some, like, harmless type of shit. You know, like, if we being funny, then we're just going to be funny, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Back in the day, this nigga comedian, but. I'd be having to tell him.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I'd be having to tell him, he's still post funny shit now. I'd be like, but take that shit down and put your album cover up or something. Yeah, bro. Because I don't know you for a while. You always been a good dude, but you've been about your craft, man. But look, though, that shit be having people like that shit. It's marketing, though. Yeah, people draw attention to it.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Yeah, people are little funny shit, though. But that's the type of time I have really ain't dissing no niggas in these songs. Fuck these niggas, though. Like, these niggas ain't having no motion. You have no motion. You have no motion. You know what I'm saying? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:56 I'll be real. Nine time I'll team. I don't know this. I don't know these. I don't know these niggas. I don't know. I don't really be knowing a lot of these niggas that'd be on the rap shit like this. I don't know you well enough to dish you.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Who are you? And they know me. And they know me. So it's like, okay, cool. If I'm a fake-ass nigga, why he's been around me so long? Any nigga or bitch of my life that's dissing me, man, you know what I'm saying? They just feel a certain type of way. They know, nigga, I've done something for anybody that's ever been around me.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah, when they lose their emotion, they get emotional. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like, okay, cool. I don't like you no more than now because maybe I feel like I'm at a different platform I'm at when I, before I met you, that's you. You feel big enough, you feel of me. But you understand, I was doing this. I've been doing this before a lot of niggas, you feel, me, got to their platform.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Right. That shit ain't slow me down. Have you-hmm. But I'm going to ask you, have you stayed true to, like, do you still fuck with some of the same people now being owned in all your success, like, for real? Yeah, I feel like I really ain't, like, if I stopped talking to a motherfucker, it's because it's like, they ain't going to fuck with me, you know what I'm saying, or something, whatever they feel the type of way. But I feel like, for the most part of year, like, 85% of the motherfuckers are. that before I start fucking with this music and all this type of shit. Because I feel like, I'm gonna keep real before this music shit.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Like I feel like this shit do get to the social media, motherfuckers feel like way, but I feel like I've always been a nigga that was like low key, like with some popular type of I just had was, you know, doing something good for itself, you know what I'm saying? And even if it's in this smaller skill of like back in there when niggas was having scrapers and with a little, I had a car, you know what I mean, when you start getting that. Yeah, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:26:26 So it's like a lot of motherfuckers who was around there and still around there because I really is, you feel me, it's just me. I'm still, you know what I'm saying? I feel out with a nigga it was about something like, I don't even know why, you feel what I'm saying? I ain't lost no day one. Yeah, you feel me? How do y'all feel about these?
Starting point is 00:26:44 I'm asking y'all as an elite right now, you know what I'm saying? Just as a collective, like, how do y'all feel about these rappers losing their lives over a lot of these petty arguments or petty, you know what I'm saying? Just petty-ass situations, man. How do y'all feel about that, man, like what's going on today? Does that scare for you all? I'm saying, does that, like, is that person? There's so many different rappers that's done.
Starting point is 00:27:04 You got a, uh, actually touch on each one. We can, we can, we can pinpoint to P&B rock and just, you know, I'm saying? Situations like that, just triple X, man, shout out to him, rest in peace, man, just to waste a lot of people. You got to watch how you do. So them are, but it still lands towards the same type of person, a person who does music. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I feel like rappers are being targeted. I'm going to say this. For sure, a little bit. Because of what they get. But this might not, this might not be to every rapper that lost their life. but I'm going to say due to the pandemic being over with. And when the pandemic was here, a lot of niggas was, you know, doing their thing. And, you know, having it.
Starting point is 00:27:45 When that shit went away, a lot of niggas ain't having it. So a lot of people that sold their shit and this is this or whatever. So a lot of niggas that was having it, you know, they might be in a 10-year lease. They didn't got the condo right here by the Staples Center for $7,500 a month. And they can't pay that rent no more because that shit gone. The first person they see, they, you feel me? They got a, rappers,
Starting point is 00:28:07 anybody listen, shit, you know what I'm saying? Trying to survive. Trying to keep, trying to maintain. You got to fuck what they say back in the day. Keep up with the Jones. I'm going to keep it real, like, not like that, but like with the P&B rock situation, though, like that would happen to anybody going over there like that.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Just the area. Yeah, that could have, you know. As far as I know, that could have happened to a regular nigga. A regular person going over there like that. I felt like that too. No disrespect, but I'm just saying, like, that's just the wrong area that be moving around like that. It's like, you got to respect the laws.
Starting point is 00:28:34 of the land, you know what I'm saying? Like, again, no disrespecting them like that. That can happen to anybody with him. But I understand what you're saying as far as the rappers. I feel like, you know, music magnifies this shit. Because, like, me and you could have an argument in private, right? And it might not even lead to no gun violence, even a fight, right? But as soon as you get on line, you get the, you coming on, no jumper on the sharp tank.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And you're talking, man, man, man, bitch. All I ain't go, I might come up to the spot, you feel me? And now I got people hitting me. It just kind of, I feel like that's why they're dying more at a rap of the race. Because I feel like a lot of the beef is more publicized. So niggas is able to put it out there in songs and niggas are doing all the type of way of shit. I'm sure somebody didn't die like that before. He wasn't a rapper.
Starting point is 00:29:10 But it just wasn't publicized because he wasn't a rapper. Yeah, you feel me? So I just feel like that shit just... I mean, niggas and die in L.A., you feel me? Or around the world on some getting robbed type shit or that nobody knew about because he wasn't a rapper. So it wasn't as big as it was, you know what I'm saying? But just because the niggas was a rapper, they get publicized. Oh, rapper performing on that, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:29:34 You know what I mean, niggas and got robbed and shot and got killed? Yeah, for sure. You never made the news. True. Yeah. But that shit just happening all over the world right now. I just feel like we live in the world where you feel me, like, niggas ain't respected nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Rapper or not, don't get for who you is, niggins in the streets, whatever. I really feel like they look at the rappers as a come up, like as a, yeah, for sure, hell yeah. As a lick, you get what I'm saying? Like, they really think, like, rappers be soft. Like, yeah, I'm saying, I'm saying, I ain't got a rapper, we'll get them.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Yeah, I'm saying. Like that type, too, you feel. A lot of rappers, they got to move more on point. You got to move more on point because that's how, I mean, even with the, I was seeing when the pandemic was over, nigga, they was running up to the people that were selling the dogs. Everything, yeah. Anything, they're stealing the dogs.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Like, anything they could come up with, they try to do it. Myfuck on Merrill with a French motherfucker, like, you know what I'm, I didn't see this shit on the news. So it's going to everywhere. Whatever, you know, put your hands on. Yeah, oh, yeah. It's just got to be, like I said, just for, I just like to talk to people who've been in,
Starting point is 00:30:31 the music game for real putting their selves out there for real the jewelry, the cars, the clothes like you know and just being targeted by other people trying to, you know what I'm saying, that makes you a target the more, you know how it goes, and you do too. The more fame that you get, the shit that comes
Starting point is 00:30:49 with that man, it comes with people that don't even know you, man. That's a drug. You know? I the niggas like, can you rub some of your fame off or your motion off on somebody? And then they lose that shit. You get what I'm saying? They, that's a drug.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Like, heroin, they need that shit. You know what I'm saying? So, they'd do anything for it. For sure. Yeah, lose their morals, their principles, they respect, whatever, get that shit back. Especially if you give a niggas some attention,
Starting point is 00:31:16 I never had it. You're like, oh, I need that back. You know what I'm saying? The bitch is on me. They were talking about me on the blog site. My Instagram was viral. He's going to try to do anything in the world to try to get that shit back.
Starting point is 00:31:27 A lot of these niggas wasn't popular before music. Do you feel like there's a lot of people chasing more clout in the industry of doing music and rap versus trying to put some good music out? Of course. Hell yeah. What you think about that? I feel like it going a lot because I feel like people use that shit like on some marketing type shit. You feel what I'm saying? Music don't even be good.
Starting point is 00:31:48 You feel me? I feel like if they could get into some type of negativity or something like that and they get posted, it's like a lot of free promotion. So I feel like, hell yeah, that shit going a lot. You just got to, you feel me? Some niggas don't get sucked into that. motherfuckers really be on point if you watch and pay attention to certain artists and certain artists do engage in that shit. And I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Sometimes that shit really turned out deadly for my fuck really get his ass stamped during this motherfucker like God, then they killed him. Like he just made the this song three weeks. You know what I'm saying? So it's like some motherfuckers don't pay attention none of that shit. That part of it, I just feel like for the music game, for rappers, that would just make a nigga a little timid. Not
Starting point is 00:32:21 scary, but damn, nigga, you know, you got looking over your shoulder a little bit more now because you see they are popping niggas. They are doing things like that and I would only talk to y'all like somebody of y'all's structure because y'all really in the game you're y'all are known your group is known for making and making dope music and having yeah being a rapper I ain't yeah it is like they be saying one of the hardest jobs it is because like everybody know who you is and you don't know who they is right so I didn't have like
Starting point is 00:32:47 I don't have been in the mall and going to store and the minkas looking we didn't have real-life standoffs because we don't know what it is until you know what it is like you just you got the you feel me this come from your essence you growing up like Like man, what the niggas on? Like, the nigger look funny, but then you got to understand too. It'd be a lot of fans that don't know how to approach you. That shit just happened to you. So they still want to be macho and tough and horror instead of saying,
Starting point is 00:33:09 what's up, man, I fuck with you. Niggas want to be really, you know what I'm saying? I don't feel like I'm a groupie or asking a nigga for a picture, but really do. So you'll catch a bad look or a vibe and be like, man. But you never know until you know, like with this shit. Yeah, man, I fucking take a picture. I didn't see a nigga do that before. So I get close to you, oh, man, I fuck me to take a picture and then fire on you.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Then fire on you. It is, bro, for real. So it's just, you know how they play it, so. You know, that shit be serious though, because, like you say, like, not just in a sense of like the shit that's going on, like, because everybody got shit going on outside of whatever the music is, it might not even get put on those songs. Like, niggins know what they got going on. So when niggas be out, of course, I'd be like extra mindful.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Like, I was just in the mall the other day. And we had just dropped the sight for like a couple of weeks ago or whatever. That shit went hard, by the way. So when I guess you see me. Sorry, that shit went hard. I posted it. That shit went on. I appreciate that one.
Starting point is 00:33:59 That one was, yeah, so that, nigga, we, I'm in the stove. The nigga, like, what's up? But you see it kind of aggressive? I'm like, that nigga ain't talking to me, you feel me? I spin off, nigga. I'm like, I'm a nigga over here, a nigga look at some shirts or something. What's that, what's that, what's that? Then he's like, looking at him.
Starting point is 00:34:14 I'm like, trying to look at him like, what the fuck is he looking at? Then I finally go to the county, he pushed up on me like, man. I'm like, what do you know? I've seen that cipher. I'm like, man, I ain't going to lie. I ain't going to have to do nothing to nobody here anymore. You feel? So I was kind of relieved because I'm like, oh my God, he's seen the cipher.
Starting point is 00:34:29 That's all it was about. That was up because I appreciate it. Yeah, you feel. The cipher went hard. You know, like that. Cipher went nuts. But I'm like, I don't know him, but you know the internet kind of craig. Yeah, they feel like I met a lot of people that feel like they're in relationship with you just by.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Yeah. Oh, you said that too. Yeah, yeah, they grow to you. Oh, listen, he said that. Oh, man. Yeah, man, you fuck about a nigga. Yeah, man. He said that till he said.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I hit you on Instagram. I be, I be, I be. I'm like, man. Like, they really think that they can see all that. You know, I don't know who I'd be talking about. You know who I'm talking to, you feel me? But just a shout out to him, though. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:35:04 What you mean? What you mean? What's up, hell, aggressive? You feel me? I'm like, man, I don't want to have to do that. And nobody in his mom, you feel me? So there is something that hovers over y'all as being, it was an artist, you know, and just walking around.
Starting point is 00:35:16 You want to go to fucking to the grocery store and just go grab you something late night room because you just trying to have something. That's why I ended up moving to Vegas because of that situation. Yeah. And it was a situation. My keys in the car one time. Niggas pulled up on a car. They was fans, though.
Starting point is 00:35:32 But I thought it was something else. I'm like, man, I got to get away. One day I was at the grocery store and fucking Rafe. This nigga, come outside, follow me to the car. Follow me on the freeway poster. I'm like, man, it's too much. I got to be able to. I can't go nowhere.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yeah, I'm saying. I remember I'm in Reno, situation like yours. I had to show in Reno when we walked to the casino. Hey, what's up, man? I'm gonna take a picture with me, but aggressive. I'm like, now, I don't know you don't want to take a picture with you, but if you want to take a picture with me, it's good. But like I said, they go from the fans.
Starting point is 00:36:04 They don't know how to approach you. So it's like, it'd be aggressive sometimes, especially when they have with somebody and they got their, you feel, me. They testeroom popping and they think that. Hey, that's what I'm thinking too. They might hear a song when you talk about this. So they might really think like, man, he's riding around with girl. Nagleonlems every day.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Like, you're hard as, I got to come hard when I finally leave the, nigga, like, what's up, you like, damn, hold on. I'm tough too. Yeah, you feel me? It's like, oh, you heard the song? Like, yeah, okay. Right, and that's why I say. I don't got a grenade launcher with me, though, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:36:33 That energy, man, being rappers, it's got to be something about that that's like, because you don't know really what's coming your way. A nigga could have really took your song to where you was talking about a damn grenade launcher and be like, yeah, bro, when I run into that, I got at least have an A-K or something on me. I got to ask something on me, like, I can't ask something on me, like, I can't just be walking up on him. Regular, yeah. I just seen, you meet him and he's taking him and he's taking a hell of horror. I'm like, bro, what's you doing?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Like, he's just trying to be too tough, too hard. Like, grab a nigga hand and try. I'm like, bro, what's up, man? Like, come on, man. But it's also got to be crazy win for like these drill rappers, you know, and people like that that you know, lost a lot of guns. And it is different. And I want to talk to you all about that, you know.
Starting point is 00:37:15 That drill shit is different. Yeah. I'm posting. I'm not posting. You're a drill rapper, you gotta be going to point on everything. You can't slip up. That's too much. Yeah, you- There's a lot of guns in the videos.
Starting point is 00:37:26 I didn't even just the guns. They, they like, damn, they like, they're like 10 times worse than Chicago dissing. Like the dead homies and all that. Like, it's serious. Like, I end up catching wind of that shit. Like, that niggas is serious. Well, I say that, that drill shit in New York.
Starting point is 00:37:44 I bring that shit up for the reason of, because I know, like, when people see you, like, if somebody had a problem with you, right, and when they see your videos and they see, this nigga got this with the extended with the, you know what? I'm saying, bro, with the laser beam. Who hit the fucking ass butt kicked out and all the extra shit, right?
Starting point is 00:38:02 And then, like, he's got a problem with you. When he's seen you, he feel like that's how you coming. And you may have just did that for the video. You know what I'm saying? This nigga ain't even got a pole. That ain't even really you. Like, when you see you, he thinks that's the energy. He got to really come on with you.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Like, well, if I got a problem with this nigga, I see he be holding big ass shoppers. You know what I'm saying the shit with the extendings on it. I got a really come with one like that too when I see him. That's why I feel like, Wow, we fucking with it, like, we ain't even on that type of time. We ain't even on that. We ain't gonna say that niggas ain't got a little shit in that video shit.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Me personally, because I got some, you feel me like, it's serious. So I ain't posting no guns on my video and shit like that. I'm on some money shit. I'm not to encourage the motherfucker to try to get some bread. I'm gonna try to be fly, some like that. I'm gonna put that shit on so motherfuckers could look at that and be motivated. You feel what I'm saying, though? I probably got some songs back in day to talk about this shit, but I don't think none about, nobody in the camp even on that.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Like, you listen to that nigga music. It's like on some like, it's some bullshit. Motivation shit, some getting money shit, some elevating shit. But I ain't knocking out the hood type of shit. They have a hell of you. They're dying, hella quick too. Or get on a jail. A little oozy clip, he might have 10 million.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Then next week you'd like, then they killed a little oozy clip. You feel me? So it's like, damn, that's how you got. Is it worth it? I know, it's worth it. You don't follow anybody. You know why? Just being honest.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Like, he don't follow nobody. You know why? No, I follow my companies. No, but when I've seen it a while back, like it was literally zero. You remember that time? Look, look, I come from, it's competition where I'm from. Yeah. So it used to be niggas like, oh man, the niggas stole my son, stole my flyers, stole my
Starting point is 00:39:35 album. So I just try to mind my business. I try to stay. And then. Look at the regular shit Instagram just gives you. Yeah. So look, so now I just follow my shit to whatever. That post I see.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I don't want to, I don't really care about what nobody else doing besides here. I don't care about what these niggas doing over here, these bitches doing over there because They got niggas that's faking it on Instagram. They got bitches that can make the ass look bigger. They stomach look smaller. And they don't got a filter on Instagram for faking. You feel me? So I could come in, no jumper right now.
Starting point is 00:40:06 They'd be dial an interview. And I just take a picture with Adam and act like I did an interview. Instagram ain't going to delete the picture and say you faking. You know the game, though. He said he just gave my whole scenario. You know when I really peaked that shit when Instagram came out, a nigga came to my house and took a picture of a pair of my red. brand new and posted on his Instagram like they was he.
Starting point is 00:40:28 For sure. Hell yeah, nigger gonna fuck him. I said this shit, like he posted every, like he was seeing his bottle, took a picture to the bottle, he took a picture of yo. I'm like, oh, this shit, you could be anybody. Yeah, for sure. So I'm like, man, I'm not falling into that. I'm not falling into that.
Starting point is 00:40:40 When I seen the nigga post my shoes on his shit, he didn't say, bro, got some new, he just posted like it was his. Fresh drop. So it's like, then I'm in my car one day at the morse. I see niggas walking up to my car, taking pictures in front of my car while I'm in the car. while I'm in the car. Yeah. I said, yeah, this shit too serious.
Starting point is 00:40:56 They're jumping out of the cab, see a nice car, take a picture in front of the car. Like having this grill take the picture. I'm like, oh, yeah, this shit too serious. Two songs that you feel like you really put your all into, but you know what I'm saying? You probably didn't get what you probably wanted from it. You probably got more on a song that you'd be like, I don't care about that, but like put that one out, but, and it got more play and more look than the ones. That's how it always is.
Starting point is 00:41:21 That's how it always is. I don't know. Two songs, just two songs that you really put your- brother? You're all into. Yeah, but see, I ain't going to lie, but I felt like I knew certain shit might not resonate. You know what I'm saying? So, like, I wasn't expecting it to just go, like, go platinum. He said, didn't go.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Yeah, I'm saying. Something that was good that didn't go. Something that was good that just didn't go for you, you know what I'm saying? Like, didn't get getting into. I felt like I got a song with me, him and F&BDZ. I dropped a couple years ago. I felt like that motherfucker should have had at least three, four million. You know, I just felt like that, you feel? me? It went up, you feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:41:53 And then I would say, um, I was supposed to do. And that was cold. I don't even, I came with, I ain't got so much fucking me. I feel like everything's supposed to go up. I don't keep right. I feel like everything, the cleanest, tight it, anytime I drop something, you see me? So I feel like all my shit post to go up. Like, so I really don't, and I try to put my all in everything that I do.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Really, that's why I'm not the rapper that motherfuckers might see mostly from up over there. Like, just always, I'll be on some hiatus type shit. I might take a break, you for me. Somebody came and offered. feel something like, yeah, man, we want to buy his catalog. Do you have enough catalog to sell to them? I got hella music. My catalog, his catalog.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I'm saying they would have to come over you. He got all of the union. He got all the teams. He got over 10 tapes. Yeah, I got a helicopter. I probably got like 12, 13 products. And that's just me. I feel like not even, I didn't take breaks.
Starting point is 00:42:47 When I lost my little brother, I stopped rapping for a whole year. Phil had the dinner. Right, you tripping. Let's talk about your brother for a minute, man. Let's give me shine. Yeah. Yeah, I lost my brother. 2020 you feel me so that's it happened it kind of like I don't know like I don't know like I
Starting point is 00:43:01 I haven't lost friends before you feel me friends and I thought like you know like that shit is hit different though like I feel like maybe because of the after effects too you feel me as far like my mom and shit still like still grieving you feel me so like if my friend died I ain't talking to his mom every day I'm on the block I don't know it's RIP little with JJ whatever whoever died and then we back outside you know we pouring some bottles out so you ain't really going to go check on his mom every day to be like how you do you do doing this such and such. So I was actually able to see the, that effect that after that, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like that's what drugged out longer for me as far as
Starting point is 00:43:35 being able to shift my focus back to the music. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, he passes 2020 and shit like that. So he had a seizure and in sleep, you feel what I'm saying? So, and so yeah, like I said, that shit just took me away. It was hard. Even though Brett was telling me for months, too, I just couldn't really, I don't know. It's like every time I felt like I was going to go back to try to fuck with the music, like my mom was a call or some shit. be, you know, like breaking down. It's like that. So, you know how motherfuck feel about their mama, you feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:01 So, like, if your mom's going through something, she heard and then it kind of, like, reflected off on me. You feel what I'm saying, though? So, hell, yeah, that shit fucked me up. So, like, I tried to go hard with everything I do, because I probably like the least motherfucker that is. I got a lot of projects out, but like, I do. I'll be falling back a lot off the music, though.
Starting point is 00:44:17 You know what I'm saying? Just at times, you know what I'm saying? And so that was, like, the probably the longest I took off from fucking with the music. I probably took, like, a solid ear off. I just couldn't do this shit, you feel me? Have you used your brother to dance the drug to be back in music? Partially, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Your shit be slapping. And like for the ones that ain't heard it when you go listen, you're gonna know. Yeah, for sure. If you have it, man, go hit that YouTube, man. Dollar Day, man, dollar dang, hey, man, motherfuckers, no. Just go check it.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Just go check it, man. That's all I'm saying. We already know this motherfucker up over here, man. So they ain't even know intro. I'm done rapping, man. Hey, you're done rapping. Yeah. Is that what you're gonna be here today to say?
Starting point is 00:44:56 Is that you're just done rapping? No, I'm done. I mean, I got like an album, my last album coming out. Wow. But I'm done. I'm focusing on the CEO side, the label side. You know what I'm saying? So I'm falling back.
Starting point is 00:45:10 I never want to rap forever. It's like a nigga selling dope. You don't want to sell dope forever. I felt like that, I don't get, yeah. I'm done, so you're done. So the whole thing is like, okay, cool. What's the next move? We'll take that same.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Same energy, that same drives, the same ambition, put into something different. You know what I'm saying? I want to see the young niggas from the hood, young niggas from the East, the young niggins from the Bay Area, Sean, okay, cool, let me do my part. And I'm just being selfish. And I feel like by me having a label, me having 12 artists, whatever, and I'm still really in it, I'm kind of being selfish to them because I could be taking away from them. They could be calling me like, I need a book dollar for you, feel that I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:50 I'm still getting broke. He's special. His music special. I always felt like and that's not even because he's my friend or like a nigga I've known like I just known real niggas throughout my life you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:46:00 you being one of you like I've just known them so it's like it's crazy to sit here with you today and like damn FOD for you huh for the greater pastors for you huh you know brother like that was crazy bro was my first artist yeah I was a nigga that kicked it off really with the whole shit
Starting point is 00:46:17 like the new movement like before him I had my little brother he locked up in a couple of a few others the youngsters from the hood that didn't really go nowhere so like the second chapter he was the first one and it was just all for a nigga helping the nigga though so like when the when the shit got presented it just came about hell of crazy how it happened though you for me but when it happened it was just more songs and shit like why not you feel me because you know like I said
Starting point is 00:46:38 that's what I go back to saying like with not having to know how you feel I'm saying though I know this nigga know what's going on with this music shit I can run the streets all day and do this other shit but when you're trying to cross over and to some other shit and you don't really know where to start with this shit I knew for it in the definitely like if I'm gonna fuck with bray he gonna be able to help me and understand what the fuck is going on with this shit you know what I'm saying because something is so small as this what it is as far as making money off me
Starting point is 00:47:01 and just being like niggins ain't even trying to help niggas with that you know what I'm saying though like you might ask me like hey bro how I'll do this I'm gonna call you back or whatever like or if they're benefiting you feel I'm saying though if they ain't benefiting them they wouldn't when I seen the motherfucker was willing to just just just be on like shit well I got that for you brother let me will help you feel me so I seen that and then shit popped off I'm like yeah I'm fucking went there. You feel what I'm saying? Why not? You know what I'm saying? So it just happened organic
Starting point is 00:47:26 for you joining FOD? Yeah, yeah. It was very organic. It wasn't something that was planned. I don't know. It was just, like I said, it was some crazy shit to play. I like that, though. That's live though. Keep it real, he had a partner that was around, that was around me, but wouldn't bring him around. And then, you feel
Starting point is 00:47:42 me? He ended up meeting and then we end up getting closer. Yeah. You get what I'm saying? Then he just like, oh, man. I'm trying to do this. I'm trying to do this. I'm like, Yeah, yeah, huh, huh. You feel like, I really believe in. No hate in you.
Starting point is 00:47:55 That's what it was. It was no hate in you. I really believe in, like, karma and blessings and shit, you feel me? So it's like, okay, cool. I was in that position one day. You feel me? When I wanted to ask a nigga, I remember niggas not giving me the information. So why would I, like I always said, like, I'm not going to do it like that.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Nigger asked me, hey, bro, where you get these CDs pressed up? Here you go. I ain't going to see the nigger. The wippy for the 24-100. This nigga is 600 right here for the 1,000. Yeah. He fuck up the $2,400, dude. He'll be having the whole shit.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yeah, okay, where I get my merch down there. Okay, here, here go big print over here, they want $1,000. But he goes over here, they want this. I want you. How I distribute my, okay, cool. I'm got a situation in the Empire, but Rat Bay right here, they're going to take you off the, Empire might not mess with you right now because you got to get a buzz.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Rat, right, right. Rat Bay going to grab you right now until you get that buzz up, then we can go over here. You know, Bradford's most definitely, since, like, especially with the music since the nigger started, He most definitely been a motherfucker. There's most definitely been a hell of hands-on and just being willing to help.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Like I said with the first year, I didn't even ask him to help. It's like I'm on the phone with a nigga. I'm telling him, I thought you was going to do something for me. I got the phone. Man, a nigga, hell of weird. Could we say it's 70% relationship, 30% business? What?
Starting point is 00:49:10 Like when you're dealing with somebody, like how you said, even like just, even connecting people together, like, hey, man, I got somebody who's going to come up over here. I would say any of my artists would be like 90% relationship There we go. Like I'm trying to figure it out. Like where y'all would stand with each other.
Starting point is 00:49:25 I was trying to get there, but he drew it out. I gotta be able to vibe with you. Yeah. I gotta be like, I take it serious. Like, it's artists that I don't turn it down that's popping. It's big artists. It's big artists to this day. That's bigger than me.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Who? Yeah. She came over here and tried to sign. Who? Let's talk about it. Man. Let's talk about it. Just, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:49:45 You want some of this shit back? Listen, man. It's big, I go check a DM years later, like, huh? Yeah. Yeah. You're talking about, oh, man, check me out, man. I'm an upcoming rapper, man. I'm like, I know.
Starting point is 00:49:55 It's a lot. Come on, man, I can't get one. It's a few. Come on, man. It's Sharp tank, no joke. It's a few. Come on, man. I was asking for one, but I'll take the few.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I don't want to drop no name, man. We got to keep our relationship. Ah, yeah, I see that. But listen, it's a few of them. They know who they is. Shout out to them, no disrespect. And they're popping right now, too. It just showed you that a nigger motivate around the world
Starting point is 00:50:17 because a lot of them, well, they ain't from where I'm from. from. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, like, everywhere I go, like outside of my hometown, man, niggas love a nigga. Yeah, they love to tell you, bro. They'll be checking that shit out from down here. We just don't really get all dressed dude like in the public.
Starting point is 00:50:31 A nigger might DM a nigga and say he fuck with a nigga, but he ain't going to never come on the shark tank and tell a nigga that he, you know, before I start fucking with it, you know, I had his feel, who, you feel what I'm saying, though? But you got to also understand this rap shit. They're going to say, man, nobody never helped me do nothing. Yeah, got it out the mud. This shit, I got like, he goes come with this. You got a nigga.
Starting point is 00:50:50 A lot of rappers, niggas, it's niggas from the streets and shit like that. So it's a lot of egos come into place. So niggas for sure ain't big in no niggas up, you know what I'm saying? Or letting niggas know, like, yeah, this is what I got this from. It's different with me. I don't, I'll be motivated. What? I'd be motivated.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Like, okay, cool, this podcast. Nigger, motivated, nigger, you feel, man, we can do that. We got one of us in there. You got one of us in there. You know what I'm saying? Okay, cool. Just whatever it is. A nigger pull up in the Rory truck.
Starting point is 00:51:18 I'm not hating all that. No, I'm motivated. You like it. You know what I'm saying? Whatever it is. Like that shit motivated, nigga, like, nigger, we could do it. But I feel like that's why I mean like people like who are certain positions who move like that, they be blessed, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:51:31 Like I tell him like periodically like like, like, nigger, bro, that's why you're in a position. You know, like everybody can't handle certain situations and certain positions, you for what I'm saying, though. Niggas are crash out. Niggas don't even know how to be that person, but everybody might feel like they want to be that person, you feel me? So you actually have to put them shoes on. You feel what I'm saying though. So, I feel like, bro, always been a nigga that looked, like I said, from the beginning,
Starting point is 00:51:54 though. Niggily just been a nigga to genuinely help. Feel me? That's how this shit happened. I don't want to shout to the little people out there. They kind of got like a little, they ain't got no podcast, but they had platform, you feel me, that the motherfucker used to fuck with. They just posted some shit, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:52:06 You feel me? Off him just helping. And then that's how that shit just came. Like, you feel me what I'm saying? As far as me fucking with brus, so just off a nigga helping, I ain't even come to the nigga with this shit. So I feel like that's why you be blessed though, you feel what I'm saying, though? I'm honest, you know, you feel what I'm saying, though.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Like, you gotta be a nigger that's be willing to give too, though. You know what I'm saying? And do shit for other. Well, you have been that too. I've known you for a long time. So, you know, and that's why I got you here. Like, because you've been the same way. And maybe that's why y'all too late up.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Phil, you walked away from FOD tomorrow. Said, all right, man, I'm leaving the business to somebody, man. I'm off to greater things. It ain't because you walked away on some bullsh. It just was greater things. It happens. Who was you handing it to, man. Who are you handing the torch to?
Starting point is 00:52:46 Me? Who are you handing the torch to? Who you had in the torch? Everybody gonna be their own boss. I'm gonna take it over. Everybody. There's gotta be somebody. See, I like I ain't answering it.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Like, I'm old. Listen, he knows where I'm going with the question. Listen, me, I actually mold everybody to be in their own boss. I like that. And I said take it over like running, you know, I'm saying though. You get what I'm saying though. I do what I'm saying? Nah, listen, everybody they own boss.
Starting point is 00:53:09 So even at FOD, like, he might start his own label. So with growing through it is like, okay, you learning how to run your own. You get what I'm saying? So, okay, cool. You're your boss, your shit, you're your boss, your shit. I want niggas around as bosses. I could have signed millions of niggas and kept them up in a deal and shelved them and mace their ass, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:53:30 But instead, I'm like, no, bro, do it like this. No, but see. I like to be around niggas ass boss, okay, cool, all right? Everybody's gonna be their own boss there, but I know how to do, I know how to be, bruh, I know how to be him. You feel me? Call you, you. You ain't got that done? See, I know how to do that done.
Starting point is 00:53:45 See, I know how to do that. What, don't that yet? Who are you going to call? Everybody. Everybody, think, I've called everybody. When you do that? Well, you do that? Feel like, feel like that?
Starting point is 00:53:53 You feel like me? That's one thing I know I feel like I can. You know, I feel like I'm- No, because with this shit, bro, back then we was rapping. We didn't know if we was gonna see tomorrow. So it's like, you gotta put this shit out. We might go to jail tomorrow, then we might die tomorrow. Like, it's like, we're trying to build a legacy fast.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Right, exactly. So it's like, I got this album. It's supposed to be 12 songs on the album. I got 11, I got to hurry up and do this 12 song to make sure it's in case if something do happen, I got, you know, I'm able to give it to the people. Remember, I said, I couldn't even go to Oakland without doing that song. Right. I'm like, I'm going.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I'm like, I got to finish this tape because, nigg, I might be gone tomorrow. Right. Straight up, you know what I'm saying? So I want to leave my shit finished. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't know if Michael Jackson. He ain't got verses for me as floating around this month. Like, everywhere. You can I'm going to be.
Starting point is 00:54:37 You get a lot of shit. So that's how I think, like, that's how I think like, niggins like, niggins don't know what was promised tomorrow. So it's like, I mean, I'm just talking about it. I'm trying to put this shit out. I'm trying to make sure this shit organized. Even with dealing with rappers, he might be signing me. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:54:52 This tape might be halfway done. He might go to jail tomorrow. You get five years. You know what? I'm stuck. So it's all the investments, all the risk. You know what I'm saying? There's all the chance that you're taking.
Starting point is 00:55:03 You know what I'm saying? Dealing with niggas. So if I see something going on over there, I'm like, but chill out. You feel, me? Relax or conversation or motivation or some type of shit, you feel me, to get a nigga. You know how I would deal with it.
Starting point is 00:55:16 or you feel me or let you know this shit come with this shit. These n'n't go through shit. They go through shit with they, they, they, they, they, they family, all the type of shit like that. Nigger, these things are ready to crash out. You feel, me? Rap, all the type of shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:29 I'm like, hold on, niggi, I just, hold on, you just signed last week. You better go. You about to go, you about to do what? Hold on, man. Let's get in the studio for a week or something. Didn't do all, you know what I'm saying? Real. For sure, though.
Starting point is 00:55:41 This shit, me really, I'm independent. I'm, everything I'm doing with these things coming out of my pocket. You know what I'm saying? I don't got no major bag. I got a distribution, but everything that I'm with, with they receiving coming from me. So, you know, anybody gave me a bag to get them, you feel, me. I'm still, I might go do a show for a dub.
Starting point is 00:55:58 So if I sign them for a hundred, I gotta go do five shows. So I'm really coming out of my pocket. So I'm putting this to the side. Okay, that's one, that's two, that three, four, okay, then they go, bruh. You know what I'm saying? So I'm, if they lose, I lose. It just looked like it's a major, bruck.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You know? But you know, the motherfucker got to believe in the motherfucker. Motherfuck got to be out here working like a motherfucker, though. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's why you're going to see motherfuckers always in the mix, you feel what I'm saying, though, because everybody understands the motherfucking, you know what I'm saying, the purpose of what's going on, you know what I'm saying, holding this label down, you know what I'm saying, building this brand up, you know what I'm saying, protecting the brand.
Starting point is 00:56:34 So motherfuckers out here really like trying to stay consistent, stay putting out some quality shit. You know what I'm saying? Staying the motherfucker's face with this shit. So, man, I ain't going to lie, but sometimes a niggas do be, like, through with this music shit though. Sometimes a nigga, like, I don't know, do this shit, but we're gonna grab a nigga by his collar like, bro, you're gonna get focused. You feel what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? A lot of them, you know what I'm saying? A lot of, a nigger be needing that shit though. Um, a lot of them is, um, a lot of niggas
Starting point is 00:57:01 you want this shit overnight. And I tell him, like, if you come in here for that, I can't, I can't promise you that. That didn't happen for me. But I could tell you how to grind this shit out, be consistent, become a household name. You feel me? Like, like, really put in the work, I can't tell you how to make one hit and just blow up and then be successful overnight because that didn't happen for me. I can show you how to build his house from the ground up, not from the top to bottom, you know what I'm saying, and have a real solid foundation. I can go do shows right now, like, ain't know every word, no radio play, no nothing, just out of putting out of good music. You know what I'm saying? I got shit
Starting point is 00:57:37 with 20 million views on it, 15 million views, 10 million, whatever, shit like that, to where I can just go to the crowd and put the mic and they know the shit. You know what I'm saying? That's where you would think a nigga was a sign artist or a major artist type of shit. So, like, I remember it used to be artists back in the day that was on the radio. I don't know if they were, sign everything. Popping. So come.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Nobody in that motherfucker, three people. No. No, they open enough for me. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm like, oh, this shit doesn't do the whole 360. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? These, come out.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Big Records, Bay Area, big records, songs. Like one song. I get up there, that motherfucker. Clock starts 60 minutes. Damn. You know, that feels like 60 minutes. And you look at that motherfucker. Ticking.
Starting point is 00:58:25 You got to talk to the crowd. You got to have show performers. You might bring some special guests out. You got to get it. You feel me? You got to really put it on. So I'll be telling them it ain't just about rapping. It's a lot of dope-ass rappers that's in jail that never hear him.
Starting point is 00:58:38 You feel me? Or dope-ass rappers that can't make a good song. It's about you got to have everything. I wasn't the best rapper. I wouldn't try to be, but I hustled everybody else. So my hustle, they hustle was one, my shit was 10. So, you know what I'm saying? That's how it happened for me.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Then the rapping came later on. Like a kid riding a bike, going to be on training wheels first for the first couple of weeks. Wheels are going to cover off, then you're going to be hitting Willie's. You know what I'm going to get messy. Hey, man. What's over there? Coming from FOD camp, do you feel like coming with you, the hardest rapper that's in the crew?
Starting point is 00:59:13 Why you say that? I was asking. He said you know I'm about to get missed. You feel like... I'm gonna keep it real. It makes everybody stride, man. But look, look, I'm not even putting to say no crew shit. I'm gonna feel like that just in general.
Starting point is 00:59:25 That's what I'm looking for. You know what I'm saying? There we go. I ain't even going to say with no crew. Like I said, I use motherfuckers in the crew as motivation. Because sometimes I might jump on the song with niggas and I feel like, my shit wasn't like my shit wasn't even that clean. I feel like Brett got me.
Starting point is 00:59:36 So if I feel like a nigga, you got it the day, you got it the day. But at the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of me, I'm I feel like I'm better than everybody. Lil Wayne, I don't give a fuck, you know what I'm saying? Whoever, you know what I'm saying? So I ain't going to say nothing about it even on the crew. I just feel like in the world, you know what I'm saying? If I'm going to be trying to big myself up type shit, you feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:59:52 I'm going to feel like all these niggies weak. You know what I'm saying? In a sense, I get what you're saying. That's why I was asking. Like, I was just trying to figure it out. Like, you know, do you feel like, man, your music stands as one of the strongest from the crew, from FOD? I feel like I feel like I got a. a good fan base, they're fuck with me, though.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Like, even if I take eyes, I feel like when I drop, I feel like they come fuck with me, you know what I'm saying? So, I feel like everybody over there, guys. See, the whole thing, bro. Nice good following and a fan base and shit like that. We ain't competing with each other. We eat with each other. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:00:25 I feel like everybody got something different, right something different to the table. So this nigga might be dumb-ass lyrics right here. This nigga might be chill and relaxed. This nigga might be turned up. You know what I'm saying? So it's a gumbo pot. Everything, yeah. And it works as a collective.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah, yeah, so like everybody got mused together. Like really like the, like how Cash Money used to be, they used to stay in their circle. You go old school Cash Money albums. You see Wang album, you got BG, Turt, and Juvione and Mani. You know what I'm saying? You went to the Piednum album. He'd C, Murder, Silk the Shocker, Mia X, Feen, or something like,
Starting point is 01:01:01 and that was it. They didn't really go outside the camp, so I'm trying to make it to where we don't got to do that. Fellas, I ask these questions because I know they're looking for the answers. Yeah. you know what i'm saying adela they want to hear this you know what i'm saying people want to hear this so that way the non achievers and unbelievers anything that could be said of this nature you've already spoke yeah yeah no you know what i'm saying this is if there's any weak shit there's any type of leaks in through the mixture y'all have came through and let it be known clearly man that hey man this
Starting point is 01:01:30 motherfucker is bundled up man it's ready for the snow yeah i feel yeah i feel like we got all start squad over. That's what I said. I find motivation in the camp. You feel me? Yeah. Niggins might go crazy. I'll be like, damn. I'm playing. It's a real all-star squad. We got all-star squad over there for. Sure, like, I'm going to be real. Like, not to even be cockier, nothing like that, but being confident.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Come on. Like, in Oakland, hands down. Like, it's the biggest movement. Like, I'm just be real. And then it's like, okay, cool. He from the 70s, skinny from seminary. Like me, Twitter from the 60s, junior from the 90s, Vane from the dubs. Fonte from the 80s.
Starting point is 01:02:09 So it's really the whole East. Yeah. So you got them there. What we're just missing the 30s and the 40s? Pretty much. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Other than that,
Starting point is 01:02:20 we got the whole East in the hundreds. You see what I'm saying? But all that, I just damn their name. All the blocks in Oakland. That's up on the FOD. Yeah, you hear me?
Starting point is 01:02:31 So everybody just, you know, we run together. as one unit really, though. You know what I'm saying, though? That's why when you see an album, it's not like, you ain't gonna never get the notion. Like, unless a nigga just, he wasn't fucking with it. Niggas gonna be on the nigga's album.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Niggas fucking with it. You know what I'm saying? Niggas gonna pop up, niggas gonna- And I'm showing niggas how to support. Yeah, you feel me? I really kind of brought that to where a nigga feel cool with posting this nigger. So say, bro, get fly right now, take a picture.
Starting point is 01:02:57 I'm gonna throw it up on the store. Niggas wasn't doing that. Niggas was scared to show other niggas love. We gotta support each other. Things are scared to show his partner because it's like a takeaway from you like like you feel me and he's insecure yeah I'm you know what I'm saying my nigga gonna get flog throw some money got some jury I'm posting him in the story why we're throwing like drawing light to us sure I might not be I might not got a
Starting point is 01:03:17 pitch up he might got one up tomorrow somebody else who so we all staying in the motion yeah we I am a real though like like how he just was saying as far like far as the east and so like that go from we from we got to do that like and I think that's important though like the niggas got encourage the shit the motor label because nobody else ain't gonna post us I said back and I watch this shit, though. Like, I ain't gonna be a lot. Like, nobody's fuck with niggas, though, you feel what I'm saying? It's competition.
Starting point is 01:03:41 I ain't bad about that shit, you feel me? That's just like, short. I used to hit bruh and tell him like, bro, woo, woo, but niggas outside our camp, niggas don't be posting, niggas, and shit, and shit, for whatever reason. You feel what I'm saying? You feel like reason? You feel like that I'm saying? It's something that I noticed, though.
Starting point is 01:03:54 You know what I'm saying, though? You're not about to be posting the next nigger podcast, is to be blowing them up just because if you don't fuck with him. Now, if you fuck with a nigga, you're going to post him. Brett doing these things. I see his interviews. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of these niggas in competition
Starting point is 01:04:07 because they really have war with their self. But what if they're acting like they do fuck with us? I feel like if they fuck with us, then they're going to fuck with us. And if they don't. So like, cool. So look, if you post something, I go on your page.
Starting point is 01:04:22 You don't got to ask me to post it. I'm going to see it. So that means I fuck with you. So if a nigger not doing that, then he don't fuck with you. If you got an assing a nigga to post it. If a nigga to post it, then, you don't fuck them.
Starting point is 01:04:34 You know what I'm saying? Because if I see a black man working or if I see something that I think I fuck with, I'm automatically going to do it. Whatever it is, if it's a fucking toy giveaway, if it's a motherfucker saying some poetry or painting, whatever it is, as long as it's positive and if somebody I fuck with it, even if I don't fuck with him, I still do it. You know how many, Benis's about to shed light on in the Bay Area and got them popping and then he'd get a penny from?
Starting point is 01:04:58 I mean, the artists I don't brought to empire and got them signed and I didn't get nothing from? Yeah, I feel like they gotta do that some more. Niggas don't, niggas don't, though. That's why I just want to- Just pure love, though. To say that, we gotta support each other, because I feel like we don't really get a lot of outside support
Starting point is 01:05:11 due to, like, whether it's politics or whatever, the niggas got a little misunderstandings or whatever, or whatever, you feel what I'm saying, though? I feel like, we gotta stay, like, I want some supporting each other times. You ain't ready for hate, you ain't ready for success, man. You feel, me, we got to. I got a question for both y'all before we get up out of year.
Starting point is 01:05:29 One for you and then one for you, you do you is there any new projects that are coming up that you want the fans to be on the lookout for the viewers yeah um me and Pablo shit dropped on the 25th of this month uh lifestyles that are rich and shameless that shit drop on the 25th then i got a two-head-a goat yeah two-hade a goat already just dropped though like that's from me and young junior you feel me me and yank jrador father he's talking he on he knew it on the label you feel me uh and then i got some new shit i'm gonna drop uh probably in a couple months so uh motionomics 101 that's like a solo project you feel like a solo project you feel like a solo project you know he's But you know, it got gang on there and shit like that. Right. Everybody from the camp, other outside motherfuckers, too. You know, so that's really all I got working on. Me and Paolo shit on the 25th. Then I got my motionomics just dropping on, you know, like a couple months from now, though.
Starting point is 01:06:16 You're probably like January, no, February, March or something like that. I try to drop Motionomics 101 from better than that. Shit. And then they just still work, I think, you know what I'm saying? Keep on working. But that's really it for right now, though. You're going to stay blessed, dang. You ain't got nothing to worry about.
Starting point is 01:06:31 loved one I believe that you know the best is yet to come for you you know and as of for you mr. filthy what can we say this was official on record that you were announcing your retirement from the rap game yeah this shit I'm done I got a I got a EP I did a little EP's like every time I go to a city and state I got that weekend in Detroit weekend in Houston I did a weekend in LA tape. And then I got a, I'm supposed to be doing a collab album with another artist from Oakland, Blast Holiday,
Starting point is 01:07:13 called Five Nine Hundred Boys 2. And besides that, I got my last solo album. It's going to come out in 2023. Then you got to give me an album, too. He wanted me to keep rapping. I didn't need an album, but I said before it's over, I'll take a little fix on you. But we can say you are done.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over with. I'm sitting back and, you know, reap the benefits, you know what I'm saying? Fruits in my labor type of shit. You know what I don't want to rap forever. I'm gonna still rap, like, if a nigga paid me for a version and shit like that, but I'm to my actual album. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Like, you know, albums, you gotta, it's a lot of work. So all of those will fall classic. Yeah, yeah, it's classic. The last one is gonna be a classic for short, but it's like, you know, album is just rapping. It's putting out, like, you gotta touch topics, you gotta get mix and master, you gotta get artwork, you gotta get certain beats, you gotta, you gotta, marketing, you gotta do a lot. And you feel me? about just wrapping it, putting it together.
Starting point is 01:08:03 It's easy as that. Yeah. But, you feel, me, when you, at a certain, you know, point in life, you feel me, she got to be done right. So with that being said, I feel like I damn there did enough, or I would say everything, but enough on an independent level. You get what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:20 So. I mean, I'm just thinking, bro. Over a hundred. That's a lot. Over a hundred for sure. I appreciate y'all coming. Dang. I appreciate y'all sliding whenever y'all want to come back.
