And when we met, man, like just, you know, it's one thing to connect with a nigger because you like their art, but when you see the type of man that a nigger is and the type of shit that make you speak the way that you speak, like me and this nigger locked in immediately

because Slim had been through so much and his ability to be able to express himself, being a nigga that's from the streets of Detroit, one of the realest cities in the world, but still be able to express himself in a manner to where people that's like us from everywhere get to understand, my nigga, you're going through some shit that you can make it through,

We cooking full meals, man. Nigger, make sure they got their workout in, everything, bro. Before Wiling Out, come on. On me, bro. These shit crazy, man. Straight up. That's my son, man.

Yeah, man, like, I've been a fan of your music since before you went to the feds. Like, just because I got a love for Detroit. Like, I always, you know, we all do. But for me, you know, being from D.C., like, it's certain cities that remind me of the city I grew up in because, you know, it's still black. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you go and it's the culture is so rich in Detroit. So I fell in love with Detroit when I went, and you was one of the first people that I discovered you, covered you, you know, Peasy, you know what I mean? Dope Boy Cash out, of course, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, babyface Ray, all y'all niggas, I've been fucking with y'all niggas way, way before. But I looser tell you, I always just say, man, these niggas is the next niggas.

Like, these is the niggas that's going to change the game, eh? You know what I mean, like, I always knew. And that's why when you made the statement that was controversial a couple of weeks ago that you changed the sound of rap, I was one of the motherfuckers like, yeah, nigger. Like, the nigger changed the same. like so what made you comfortable enough we don't jump right into that what made you comfortable enough to come out and talk like that now you know it's so crazy like I think a lot of niggas took that as me saying like like overall like I changed the sound of the rap game and I'm just speaking from like you know from the from the level I'm on like I'm at I'm at my

ground I feel like I'm at the ground level I'm in the trenches we're in the streets you know what I'm saying and like you know as far as all the artists coming from the streets and what we listen to in them clubs, strip clubs, what niggas ride to, is that sound that I feel like I brought back to the game. You know, the rap ain't nothing new. I don't know.

How you do it, how you said, ain't nothing new. Everything that I've been done, it's just niggas do it differently. You know what I'm saying? The way a nigger do it is new. You know what I'm saying? So just rapping on like the real gritty, gutter beats, that sound like a nigga

made them bitches in the closet. Like, niggas won't come in it, and I came that, you know what I mean? So I was just speaking for, like the trenches and like niggas that's on the come up right now like that's the that's the sound niggas is rapping on and i wasn't saying it most so like you know like man i i i change the shit i don't want no nigger rapping on this nah i appreciate everybody rocking like that but i'm a humble nigga bro you already know that i just stayed in the fact and i did you know i mean

not overall though but and that's the goal to intentionally to change it overall right you heard when people are going to react like that i'm gonna just start saying shit like that too then Fuck it. Yeah, you know. I changed the way niggas tell jokes. That's a fact, though. For real, though. See, look though.

But it's a fact for, bro. It's a fact, though. I know what licking was sounding like before I came out. Yeah. That's a fact, but like. Stop sneaking and doing my shit. You know, like me. We can collaborate and I'll show you how to do you.

Yeah. I've been saying this story a long time. Like, my favorite rap come out of Detroit and Flint. You know what I mean? Like, just with the Detroit sound. and the Flint sound like with y'all and then what with with with the first two places that we ever went to no real definitely changed rmc mic and the coochie man and all them niggas like just that area that sound like what do you think that comes from like just that that

sound that y'all produced like because it's been around if you go all the way back the goddamn you know blade i was rapping like always had a different sound but what do you think y'all was able to j'all like come together and have like that sit down and say nah this is where we're we all pushing on that it organically happened like you know what i'm saying like you say blade the cheddar boys the whole street lord rock bottom lodge boys uh maiwest all the niggas was already rapping on them type of beats they just was a little slower back when they was doing it and in detrae all our music sped up like you go to a club every song you hear in the club that bitch is super fast you know what I'm saying so we already was rocking with our

music like that so we just had to produce start making a beast fat we're rocking on that shit, like that's sharp, organically. You said the beats are faster? Like, we speed the songs up in the clubs. Like, literally, like, speed them bitches up. Like, you would know the songs. Like in the strip club? In all the clubs, even on our radio stations,

we speed the music up, all our music sped up on the fast side, you heard? So, we just had to produce, start making that shit fast. We ain't gotta speed it up no more, you know? But, like, organically, we all just, we pushing that sound. And I know for a fact, like, when Rio was out, yeah, everybody on that ground level

that I'm speaking of, everybody was rapping on them beats, on that shit that Rio rap on. Then I came with like the slower, the slower vibe a little bit. You know, the crunchier beats, and niggas rapping on that. Yeah, that's how I discovered the music, like being in Detroit, being on the, like, nigga,

I'm at the, what's the casino, not the MGM, the other one? Greek town. The Greek town. Yeah. I'm at the light of the Greek town, nigger, pull up beside me, bumping some shit. The last thing I hear is a nigger said, the nigga Rio said dead people in my pocket you know what he said

dead people in my pocket that my clothes smelled I was like nigga who the fuck was that and I couldn't catch the nigga to answer so it's like just that Detroit that I said thing I say about Detroit is when you go to Detroit Detroit Detroit play Detroit music like that's one of the strangest shit that ever happened to me in Detroit motherfucking police pulled up on me in a box shabby damn this was about two years ago I was like that thing still I know he ain't paying a, he's not listening to shit.

Yeah, no, he'll pull up. He's shooting first. Damn. Man, nigger pull up with them boxed, you better not get there, you better not pull over. So like, being from Detroit, like, what do you think that, you know, y'all, you know, because you know Atlanta, we all know Atlanta as far as they cement in the game and in far as establishing culture, but what do you feel like the Detroit is now in the, you know, the pantheon of establishing culture and being,

and appreciated and respected in the rap game. I feel like we're pushing through, you know what I'm saying? Like every city and every region had that wave. Like, you know, Chicago got their wave, Houston caught their wave, Atlanta, got their way in New York. I feel like right now, you know, it's just, it's a hard turn to just really catch that wave and push that shit through the ceiling. You know what I mean? I think we like right on the break of really, really going big with that shit, you know what I'm saying?

Again, recognition globally, you heard, like. But you know how do you get that? wave, though, everybody got to fuck with each other. If you look at any city that had a run, it comes from when everybody started fucking with each other. That's a fact. Every city. I'm talking

about it got to be all across the board, though. The trap niggas got to fuck with the niggas who do backpack wrap is like. Once everybody get on the same page, that's how they make a run. When your car is making a strange noise, no matter what it is,

You can't just pretend it's not happening. That's an interesting sound. It's like your mental health. If you're struggling and feeling overwhelmed, it's important to do something about it. It can be as simple as talking to someone or just taking a deep, calming breath to ground yourself. Because once you start to address the problem,

you can go so much further. The Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council have resources available for you at loveyourmind today.org. Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9, it made zero cents and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines.

Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong. Those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder.

Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

I think the main problem is be, you know, a lot of niggas just be thinking it can only be one, you know what I mean?

Everything you do, and that's a problem. Just as black men, we got that real bad thinking, you know, it's supposed to only be one. That's just like it's saying it's only one dollar. in the world. It don't make sense. You know what I mean? It's room for everybody.

So yeah, you're right about that. As soon as niggas can acknowledge that and move on that, that shit gonna go through the room. How did y'all get past that in Detroit? Because you know, the east side, west side shit is major in Detroit. And that's something that's been going on internally in y'all city for, niggins before you was around and for everybody was around. So how did job become, you know, at this point to get to a point where y'all were able to figure it out to move? You know, necessarily everybody ain't got to be buddy, buddy and friends. buddy, buddy, and friends,

but just we're able to all coexist and the mutual respect. How did y'all establish that? I know for a fact, we learned from the people that came before us. You know, we're seeing what they didn't do and where they went wrong again and we learned from their mistakes as we should,

as we're supposed to have it. You know what I mean? We watched them not really come together like they, well, they came together, but I feel like niggas ain't stay together. You heard it, like you say, just be able to coexist with each other and had that mutual respect and mutual understanding.

That's what I know for a fact we did. We just learned from, we learned from the mistakes of people that was before us, you know what I'm saying? Like, even like in Detroit, when it come like to the rap community, our problems don't, we don't bring that shit to the world because it ain't got nothing to do with the rest of the world, you know what I'm saying?

Niggas got shit going on amongst each other behind the scenes and we make sure that shit can stay behind the scenes as much as possible. It don't work in every case or all the time, for the most part it do. It's a lot of niggas that might not like each other that rap in Detroit. But it ain't got nothing to do with the rest of the world,

ain't they business, you know what I'm saying? Keep it in house. We keep that shit in house. I gotta salute my hat to every artist in Detroit for that, because we do it subconsciously. You know what I'm saying? That comes from that mutual understanding, that mutual respect.

This shit ain't start on Instagram, so it don't need to, you know what I mean? You don't need to finish on Instagram. We ain't gotta, not saying they need to go foreign, jumping on crazy wild street shit. What I mean is like, even the conversation that need to be had, that shit happened behind the scene.

It ain't got nothing to do with social media, you know what I'm saying? So I think that's important, and I know that we do do that, and we absolutely learn from people, mistakes that are for us. Who are some of the artists that you know are coming up, you know, from your side, Detroit, that the world need to know about? Man, Chatterboy Malik, tough tone, that damn, ton-tone. Man, them, uh, the whole cheddar boys, honestly. That whole little wave right there, them boys got a real, and stretch money.

The boys had a real, man, stretch of a motherfucking legend, man. That nigga really can rap. You know, it was at one point with Holmes was the biggest artist in Detroit. You know what I'm saying? So, like, yeah. Another nigga I fuck with it's Lou Graham. Man, that's big goat, man.

That's my brother, me. That's big goat, man. You heard? Yes, sir. Niggas ain't ready. That nigga, I'll fuck with that nigga, man. Big shifter. You dig.

That's my brother. I wouldn't name the artist that I like, but they're very controversial, so I'll just keep it neutral and salute everybody on. Yeah. Like a lot of people don't know your backstory though, man. You was, you know, you was big in the streets of Detroit before you ever made a record. I'm talking about owning car washes and businesses and all of that. So, like, how did you utilize that business mindset that you had doing it with, you know, the wrong way as people would say? How did you transition that into what you do now? I used everything that I did then. I used the shit with the music shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't taking no for an answer. I ain't letting my foot. up off the gas and I just I keep going you know what I'm saying the same way I be out in

the streets doing the wrong shit is the same approach I take doing the right shit you know with the same enthusiasm you know I mean they can't go in the house till late at night doing some dump shit so I ain't going to you know I'm stay out and grinding shit out doing the right shit you know what I'm saying so it's just most so that focus you know I keep that same focus I ain't let that I ain't let that focus that I and I gun at that shit bro like I already I speak everything about my life into existence. I know what I want to be. I know who I am gonna be.

I know who I am. You know what I mean? I manifest that shit. And I firmly and strongly believe in my path and my story. You know, and I got the understanding knowing that I can create, I can create my story. I can create my own path.

I can be who the fuck I want to be. It don't matter that nigga I ain't graduate high school. I ain't go to college. I ain't had no jobs. I ain't do none of that shit. They don't mean nothing. It's not stopping.

You know what I'm saying? I had that same mentality. When I was in the streets and I got that same mentality, none. You know what I mean? I bought a restaurant, car wash, and dispensary when I was a kid. Right. Like a little-ass kid, bro, and I bought all that shit. You heard, so I'm on the same thing with the music shit, you know,

pushing my own record label, all that. I'm going to do what I got to do for myself, turn myself up, then turn my niggas up. That's how I got to go. God damn right. Now, I want to speak to just the strength that you, that you possessed because you had all of that, but then you lost it.

So how do you keep yourself in that mentality when you lose all of that and have to start from bottom again? Like, how do you get to the point where you don't quit and say, fuck it, and go back to what you know? And this, you know, I mean, all of the things that go into having to push past, you know, what people look at is fail you. How did you do that?

Man, you want to know it's so crazy. Everything I lost, I wanted to lose. I ain't want that shit, I ain't want it that way. Because I do know one thing, like, with this street shit, it ain't never no winners. A nigga ain't gonna never win, and it ain't no end game with that shit. You know what I'm saying?

That shit goes either two ways, and we all know which way that go, and I ain't want that shit. True story. I was driving home from my car wise one day, and it was just a wild day, bro. Like, a lot of weird-ass energy, just a bunch of stupid shit just kept happening.

You know what I mean? I pulled over on the side of the road with Lahi, bro. It's true story. And I just talking to guy, like, you know, I know I prayed for this and I know I asked for this and when I'm when I say this I meant money You know I mean I'm like I know I prayed for it I asked for and I wanted it But this not the way I wanted I wanted this way I'm not happy It don't feel right I got indicted a few weeks later and lost everything I had and I was I was extremely happy

And I was happy because I knew I had a chance to start from zero and I knew God answered my prayer Because I wouldn't I lost shit way too fast it was like a domino effect I lost hundreds of thousands of of dollars, I lost businesses, car, full on running businesses that was doing well at the time, cars, all type of shit. I knew God answered my prayer and it made me happy

because I knew that was just the first part of my prayer because I asked for it to have it the right way and when I lost all that shit, that was the happiest day in my life in real life you know what I'm saying? So I knew it was time to get it the right way and do that shit the way, do it the way I want to do it do it in a way that's going to make me happy,

do it in a way that's going to make me appreciate it because I ain't appreciate that money. I didn't care for it. It was too much shit that came with it. You know what I mean? And it wasn't even about the pressure. It was just me being a nigga that know how to think, that I know like, man, I sink this shit a million times.

I know where I'm headed. I know where I'm about, I know where I'm hitting. What was your first step to doing it right? Clean slate. So you say you're starting over from scratch. What was your first step? First step. First I went to the fed, I had to go to jail.

When I got- I'm saying, when you had, You're going through the process. I left that once I lost that shit, it was over. That was my first step, was reneging from going back. That's the first step is knowing when to quit. That's a step in itself. To be honest with you, that's the strongest part.

That's where the strength come in. Knowing when to quit, that shit is hard. That was my first step. I knew it was time. It was done. It was over with. You heard, when I lost all that shit, it was over. Let me fight this case.

Do what I got to do. I got a daughter. I got a son on the way. Fuck this shit. I'm going to go sit down and do my time. My wife and my kids was living in the middle of the hood with her grandparents. I ain't never told nobody's story. Only people notice is my immediate family in my circle.

I'm ice where Vezzo at the time, man. I'm the same nigger just had restaurants, car washes, five, six cars on rims, cribs, all this shit. I'm me at this point popping like a well-known nigga. And I was fucked up, bro, with a name, got songs, all this shit. You know, wife and kids in the middle of the hood, bro. You know what I mean? Like, nigger had to sit down, got back out, bro, and I still renewed it.

Got a deal, that shit ain't do nothing for me as far as financially. It did a lot for me because I gained a lot of knowledge, and I had got a record deal by some good people. You know what I mean? But shit, nigger just stuck to that shit. Bro, when I tell you, I believe in myself, I really believe in myself. I didn't even know the plan. I just knew where I was going to be, and I knew where I wanted to go. And that shit came to fruition, you know what I'm saying?

I got everything I ever lost times 10 and I'm gonna hold on to this shit because now I know how to have it you know what I mean I know how to have something I know I know how to be a nigga with money bro I know how to I know how to handle this shit I know how to stay humble I know how to respect other people

I know how not to crash out how not to think too much of myself and jump on that high horse you know what I'm saying not let that money make me tweak out I know how to have all this shit you know I mean so go back to initial question my first My first step was to renege and not go back.

I'm telling you, man, this nigga here, like, when I talked to him, when we had the conversation, it was just like, you know, it's very rare we get to look in the mirror with perspective, Los. Like, especially us, the way we think about, you know, me and this nigga, like, I had told me and this nigga for years. When we ain't had nothing, nigga, would just ride around and just talk about this shit, you know what I mean? Ways and different type of methods we could do

or what we could do or what we need to not do or what we need to change before any of this shit. So when you hear somebody talk about it from a perspective of your like your perspective, it was just, it was refreshing to me because a lot of niggas that come from the streets don't allow themselves to get to that point

because of the fear of what other people are going to say about this. And that's why I ask what's the first step. You get what I'm saying? Because it's like, nigga, it don't matter if he said or he said, niggins the niggas who are going hear you say it's going to spark something you get what I'm saying because there's people who's standing right there like shit I'm ready to do the shit now what I need to do you dig what I'm saying but you got to

see when a nigga asked that question that go back to what I said that first step is knowing when to reneed because you got a nigga that I ask that to say that like all right I'm ready to go right now what I need to do and a nigga put something in front of them for a certain amount of money a nigga do it and not care what it is they're doing you got to know how to reneed. You got to know what I'm saying? Fuck that shit. Let me figure it out. Let me find another way. That shit is hard, bro. That shit is hard. The hard part. Man, you know how hard it is?

How your wife and kids living in the middle of the hood, bro? Why are you in prison? And you get out of prison, got to figure this shit. You know how hard it is not to go pick up a bag or go get some real money. When you know you can, when you know how good you is at this shit, how good, how good you are. Just as equally talented as you is with moving. Everything else. This shit, that shit is hard, bro. That's why I didn't go home when I started doing comedy, because I refuse, because it's like,

it's different when it's the people that care about you. When it's strangers, you don't give a fuck, but when it's your mama like, nigga, you ain't eat again today. Like, and people, when people, people gonna treat you like they used to seeing you. So when they see you in a sense of you, the nigger with all the cars and all of this,

and then you come and you're doing something completely different, niggas like, damn. And when it's somebody that you know not being malicious, it make you say, man, why am I struggling when I am, ain't got to be like that shit difficult to do man so salute to you for making that transition because now you you you know I watched the documentary you did where you went back to a restaurant that you frequent at on the east side and just talked about the one of the ladies that that showed you love like speak about that like the people that did see the greatness in you pride like did you have

abundance of those people or was it just a couple of people that just spoke so much into you that you didn't need a whole bunch of it and you know I'm gonna be honest It was a lot of people. You know, usually like when niggas get asked that question, especially like rappers, like we got it bad with just saying, man, nigga ain't did nothing for me, bro. Wasn't nobody. But you said I wasn't gonna be shit.

Yeah, I did this shit on my own. For me, it wasn't like that. I had a lot of support. I had a lot of people that believed in me, you know, since I was a shorty, bro. Even my homeboy, my best friend, Ghosts, like when we was kids, bro, he knew that, he believed, he knew that this shit would happen for me.

He knew it. My big brother, Jay, did it, he didn't hear, he knew it. You know what I'm saying, my mama, my brother Rick, my nigga Webbo, like, my nigga Ludger, like I had real support. We used to go half on my mixtapes type shit, like for real, bro, like, them niggas that went broke

to help me out, especially Webbo. Like that man, I spent all his money on my music, and he rap too. Like, he helped me get in the studio before he did this shit for itself, I had a lot of support. And that's another reason why I was like, this shit gotta work, because too many people believe in me.

You know what I mean? At times I felt like, I felt like I ain't deserved that type of belief because I knew, you know, where I would, the path I was head down, it's just like I don't deserve for y'all to believe in. You know what I mean? I just, I felt like I ain't deserved it.

But now I understand. My manager, Chanel, I met her in 2012. First, she's amazing. First thing. She's amazing. She's amazing, man. It's a blessing. You deserve everything.

That's that survivor's remorse and shit, when you feel like you don't deserve that shit. I ain't gonna lie, bro. I feel like I ain't deserve that shit. Even my old lady, bro, me and my wife been together since we got that. It was 12 and 13 years old, bro. That's some real hood niggins shit to say.

Working at McDonald's, and then my wife were together, who are the middle. You heard, we go in studio all that. Driving the gas, out of the car and shit, no money to put in that bitch, man. Like, no, I had a good support system, bro. 12 and 13.

We was kids. We was kids. That's crazy. Man, we still like that. How you speak to that? How you keep that together with all of this shit that come with the rap and all of that? Like, you know what I mean?

Like, how do you keep that together? Because that's important. That real life shit. You know, that's important for people to know. But the process, though, is what I think a lot of people don't get an insight into, like how you stay together with all of the success and all of the stigma that comes with being a nigga that got it.

How do you stay locked in throughout that process? How do you keep somebody down with you when you gotta go to jail and they gotta live in the middle of the hood when she knows she can go fuck with the next nigger that got it. You know what I mean? How do you keep that in pocket? And it go back to that mutual understanding.

Like, we respect each other. We understand each other. This shit deeper than just, like, some love shit. Like, that's my partner. You know what I'm saying? We're 50-50 on this shit. Like, when I hurt, she hurt, when she hurt, I hurt, it's not even about no love and no marriage and no relationship at that point.

Like, we're far beyond that. You know what I'm saying? We life partners. Like, that's really my dog. like we we homies you know what i'm saying we don't been through so much shit bro and ain't none of that shit break us it's like at this point we just locked in and the crazy thing even when the nigga had got fucked up and lost all that shit we was the happiest then we happy happy now but i'm saying like yeah yeah yeah before like you know when the nigger had all that paper and

shit like that when i lost that cheese we was more happier than because even she she felt what i I felt. She knew what was coming. She knew this shit. She knew what she synceded. You're about to turn up. When you get home, you're gonna get rich. You're gonna be rich. You're gonna be a millionaire. She used to tell me that when I'd be frustrated and I had to do six months in a hole. I did three months, got out for a week, went back for another three months. She came and seen me have vision. I'm mad as fuck. They're gonna do my rap book away. I gotta write my raps on the fucking milk cart. I'm mad venting to her. She's like, what is you tripping for? about to be a millionaire when you get out you really about to be rich i'm talking about with no plan

she ain't got no plan i ain't got no plan she just knew it you heard so we locked in like that's my that's my dog at this point that shit like you know what i mean that's that's beautiful yeah man like so so you know QC why them yeah i fuck with p p p solid bro like and coach k like they whole system they whole team me and p been rotating for like two years before i even signed with And shit, we've just been building, getting to know each other. And like, we got a lot in common. His mentality, his come up, you know, the way he sees shit. And, you know, as far as like with QC, they don't,

they let the artists be artists, they let the artists work. Like, you know, you go to a lot of labels and they yell that creative control shit. As soon as you sign them dotted lines, you can't drop no music and none of that. Like, it ain't even no discussion with QC. All right, listen, this coming out Friday, all right, cool, it's running.

You know what I mean? Ain't no business, ain't no business better in that kind of business, when it go back to the initial thing, that mutual understanding. That shit is important. Anything you do, any relationship, any relationship, any friendship, any friendship, it got to be an understanding. You got to have an understanding.

I don't want no love. I want some understanding. You know, understand each other. It's a quote right there. For real. All the way. Now, like, being from Detroit and then, you know, signing to an Atlanta label, you know what I mean?

You get a lot of people who say, man, what shit? why not keep it all the way in pocket at the crib and why not just, you know, do a day and then y'all create your own conglomerate, speak to why you got to have an understanding that it's cool to venture out, you know what I'm saying? Bigger pitch. Yeah. The bigger picture, bro.

When you got a plan, some shit just be the first step. This is just the first step. Like I say, you know, I'm putting myself on the line. I'm risking my own music. I'm risking my own contractual freedom. You know what I mean? to make money and be in a position, so I can take that bag back to Detroit.

Not can, I am, I'm doing that now, bringing that bag back to Detroit, and I'm investing in other, I got an artist with me right now, SBR Peasy, my nigga Vano here, Millie, like, we're really bringing that bag back home, back to Ice the Records, back to Detroit, Michigan. You know what I'm saying?

So it's just like, you know, it's just a process, can't, you can't do nothing by yourself. If you got it in your mind that you're about to make some shit work, and it's just you, you watch your mind. He lost it, and I worked like that, you know what I'm saying? So it's just one of them situations where it's like, all right, fuck it.

Let me strap my nuts on. Let me go lock myself in some type of agreement, run it up, and I'm going to bring it back home. That's what I'm doing. All the way, land. Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet.

On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.

Speaking of it, I want to talk to the music, the actual music, like, you know, Detroit got a, you know, a unique sound as far as the music side. But the wordplay, like somebody like you, payroll, you know, all of the niggas that speak that, that hustler talk, like that motivational shit. That game. That good game, that there's really teaching the nigger how to do it. And not just glorifying what come with the good part, but also explaining to you, nigga, you're going to jail. You know what I'm saying?

All of that, like, did you, is that a Detroit thing, or is that just a thing that just happens to, you know, come from you personally? Oh, mic check. What was the question? Checking the motherfucker? I bet. Yeah, I asked about just the message in the music.

You know, I was talking about niggas like payroll and yourself and P, all ya, you know what I'm saying? saying all the whole Detroit, baby face, all y'all speak a certain level of music that, a certain level of game in the music that I think is kind of non-existent now. Across the board, everybody just pottying and popping pills and, you know, sipping lean

and all that shit cool, but y'all got a deeper message in the music to really teach a nigga how to go get something for itself. I said, is that a Detroit thing or is that just something that you personally? Just have been you. I just think that's more of a nigger being responsible. Like, I know,

For a fact, like, as far as everybody you name, we all understand our role we play. You know what I mean? With just, like, the influence on the young niggas and, you know, how rap can influence other people sometimes. I think we just, we all understand that. So it's important that niggas throw that message out there and let a nigger know, like, you know,

ain't no end resorts of this shit. This shit, it might be fun on one track. The next track is like, yeah, this was going to happen. You know, playing them games. is moving crazy like that. Like we just all understand that and we've been through that shit. Niggas really from that shit. We sink that shit and I came up off of that type of music.

Like what niggas like Big Hurd, like Big Hurd was a reality rapper. Dude, he's from Detroit too, he's a legend, he fired. You know what I'm saying? Homes made club music, made street music. But most and foremost, he was a reality rapper. Like he spoke on the street shit, but he ain't only glorify that shit. He spoke on what came from that shit. And he influenced my shit.

influence my music, you know, as a young nigga, you know what I'm saying? So I just thought it was important that sometimes I do the same. I got to ask you this, though. You're talking about, like, you know, you're talking about Detroit and Hood shit. But now this shit is just global. And I know you hear this shit from other countries where they got their kind of version of like shit that's almost like some shit that remind you of some shit. But it's like you can tell the shit that they heard that, you know, made them make. this shit. It's kind of like the, you know, they'll translate that shit. They'll do your shit

in their language, basically. It's like a whole little genre of music and shit. I know you see like different subcultures of music popping up around the world. Just, not for so. But you know what, though, bro, I ain't gonna lie knickers need that shit. Like, I said like, niggas is helping push that sound. Niggas helping push that agenda. That's shit important. You know what what I'm saying? The motor mirror, you know, it can be just us, but if it's us, and niggas from outside of this motherfucker, that shit gonna go even faster. Yeah, I mean.

I do be hearing some generic shit, though. I'm not gonna catch that. I do, bro, I'd be like, man, what the fuck is this? Like, especially like the beats, but sometimes some of them niggas be going crazy, that shit be hard as fuck. Man, Detroit culture, man, like the, the culture is something. I'm glad y'all getting recognition.

That's a nice city, man. Yeah, I'm glad y'all getting recognition for now. But like, you know, just, I just give an example, Cartier frames, like the buffs, the stones and the glasses and all that shit. That come from out of Detroit, Michigan, hands down. So, like, now that you see that is y'all getting the credit, do it feel good, or did you, you know, do it? Is it like, I knew it was coming. It was just a matter of time.

Hell yeah, that shit, oh, well, that shit feels good. Like, I ain't see buffs blowing up like that. I'm not going to lie, like, because for a long time, yeah. Yeah, because for a long time, yeah. No, niggas was robbing the shit out of each other motherfuckers in the city. It was so vile that they were like, niggas want these? Straight up.

Man, the niggas really used to die for them, I ain't gonna crap, well, my first case was an unarmed robbery for snatching the nigger bus, bro. When I was a kid, bro, 16 years old, bro. That shit was dead serious down that motherfucker, brother. But, like, yeah, nah, niggas ain't used to understand that shit

like why we were so infatuated with them bitches. So I ain't see it blowing up like that. That shit hard, though. I mean, and the jewelry, like, you know, the jewelry out of Detroit, like, you know, rest and peace to hutch. Like, you know, I'm saying. Like, that's, you put me, you know, onto that, like, not necessarily put me on to it, but plug me in with him to win.

When I went in and said icewear, man, it was like, oh, you fuck with icewear. Come on around the corner, man. Let me show you something. You must be all right. But, like, like, the creativity and the pieces, like, where that come from, you know what I'm saying?
