I don't want to say a misconception, but what do people believe about podcast
that you got to let them know, like, hey, man, that ain't what you think it is?
Shit, that ain't going to be easy is? Shit, that ain't gonna be easy.
Everybody gonna fuck with you.
Everybody ain't gonna fuck with you.
That's just what it is. Everybody ain't gonna fuck with you.
You gotta cater to the people

I'm in a whole war by speaking my mind.
He be in some wars.
I'm just saying.
Not like it used to be.
Yeah, yeah.
It calmed down a lot.
It used to be worse back in the day.
I mean, back then it was just different.
We was younger. That's when people would come to the radio station, want to just different. We was younger.
That's when people would come to the radio station and want to fight you.
You know, we was outside in the clubs.
People don't realize, like, this era is so used to being behind the microphone
and doing things from the comfort of their house.
When you're outside, it's a different ballgame.
And y'all the same.
Y'all outside.
Y'all out there.
So you can't just talk and, you know, it's all good.
Got to be a bad listener.
Exactly.
Exactly. Exactly.
What do you think made the Big Facts Podcast take off the way it did?
Oh, shit.
Like I said, it just stayed to the street.
Like, our whole thing was, just to tell you,
we always wanted to catch the people, like, right there before they cross over
into, you know, learn how to be media trained. So I'd be wanting that conversation right there before they before they cross over into you know learn how to be
media trained so i'll be on that conversation right now you can go back and see you see we
had dirt uh baby knowing when they was right there finna gorilla you know what i'm saying
so i like that conversation yeah you like to catch them before they know really what they're
saying and they just talking just diarrhea mouth i call it after that media training it's like all
right don't go in there and say this and don't this and then people want to get you talking
points and all the stuff that kind of water down and sometimes it's necessary we get it but like
we just want to have authentic conversation we ain't trying to put nobody under the bus either
like we don't help heal some some street beefs and all that type of stuff like we had a purpose
behind doing big fast you know what i'm saying and i gotta salute him for being consistent because
now that's what i was a little nervous about at first,
like bro, you gonna do it for real?
Nah, Banks start showing up before me,
you know what I'm saying, he took it serious,
so I gotta salute him on that.
That shit became therapy.
You get it?
Sure.
Because you letting that shit out.
At least some of your thoughts.
You know what I'm saying?
You be trying to hold too much.
I mean, what this is?

What was the most surprising interview
or conversation you guys have had
that you were surprised it went the way that it went?
That Birdman was big.
Our Birdman was big, too.
Yeah.
Y'all was the biggest.
It was a little conversation.
Y'all was the biggest.
Bank put me on the phone with Birdman.

Some healing. Yeah, yeah. It was a while ago. After y'all did that. Right at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For some healing, right? Some healing.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a good conversation.
I mean, it was brief, but you know.
It'd be a lot of people coming down there, too,
and you thinking it's going to be some bullshit.
They had the best one.
You know what I'm saying?
To me, like, the best conversation, like, the energy shit be like,
damn, I didn't know they was going to, you know what I'm saying?
I was going to fuck with that conversation like that.
I can't really just say nothing, I love all of them.
How have y'all felt about the evolution of the game?
Cause you know Scream, you was the DJ,
mixtape DJ, you used to rap, right?
I tried.
He had a hit.
Yeah, you did, right?
I wasn't never a rapper though, I just,
I had a record label but.
Duct Tape.
Yeah, we tried a song and it went up for a second, but they rapping with me.
Yeah, but Duct Tape made a big mark in Atlanta now.
With Alley Boy and all that, man, like y'all just came and went.
Oh, no.
Hell no.
We set the tone.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, for sure.
How have y'all liked the evolution of that, to go from that to being in the media space
now?
It's peaceful.
Mm-hmm.
See, it's more peaceful. Mm-hmm. See, it's more peaceful.
Mm-hmm.
Man, staying relevant is just a blessing too.
You know what I'm saying?
Just to be able to reinvent and just do different stuff,
that's a big blessing, because a lot of people can't do that.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, nah, that's why I focus stream, man.
He pushed me to think outside of the way I be wanting to think.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, nah, bro, nah, let's start a network.
Go ahead, let's do this, respect what bank. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Like, nah, bro, nah, let's start a network. Go ahead, let's do this,
respect what Bank helped me do.
You know what I'm saying?
Do that, bro.
Like, push me towards my strong points.
And, you know, we all need people like that.
When did you tell yourself, Bank, man,
you know, I got to start doing some internal work
and just evolve from, you know,
wherever you were at?
Because it's visible.
Like, you can see it.
You can see it physically.
You can see it mentally, emotionally with you. you like what was the turning point um around 2020 when it started out
you're getting the command right with that shit.
Yeah.
Yup, around that time.
That's all the time.
That's all the time.
Shit.
I was about to ask you about all the stuff that's going on with artists now and the record
labels now.
Do you feel like it's changed and you wouldn't want to be a part of having a label now and
these artists now?
Period.
Shout out my son Lil' One, man.
He doing his thing.
He signed the Epid Records.
But that's the only way like him I help him out.
But I still, like I told him, I am not posting all that type of music.
I don't even listen to it.
So I would be a hypocrite.
You know what I'm saying?
I listen to it sometimes, but I ain't pushing that.
But I'm 100% with him But I can't do that music
What kind of music does he do?
No
I ain't typical goddamn
Oh trap shit
Spray your mama house up shit
Yeah yeah yeah
You don't never pull me to the side
Say son you ain't even like that
I can't tell him that
Oh cause he
Shit
He neck having son
He 26, 27 years old
yeah yeah yeah
how long he been fine
like 2 or 3 years
ok ok ok
yeah
but nah
that music shit ain't
it's too many egos
man
you know what I'm saying
can't no nigga
you can't tell no nigga
that shit whack
you can't
it's just too many egos
and then soon as a nigga especially trying to help recollect so the nigga
get on he gonna know is they saying his name in the crowd no saying mmm V V in
that shit when you come out stay you really looking like brawn really need
y'all forget about they saying my name they ain't even saying nobody i'm doing the work i'm doing but you brought up yeah that just too much
i agree yeah you wouldn't mess with it no more scream either man i want some positivity you
know what i'm saying positivity positivity positive like the water positivity man you
know what i'm saying i just feel like like god blessed us with this hip-hop like looking at
50 years of hip-hop and it fast it fast so many people change so? I just feel like God blessed us with this hip-hop. Looking at 50 years of hip-hop,
and it fed so many people, changed so many lives.
I feel like so many people just taking it for granted.
I think that's why we're getting a lot of this pushback,
like some people losing their lives and some other stuff
because we just take it for granted.
It's really a blessing.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's tough.
Do you think Atlanta embraces their role in hip hop the way they should?
Like, you know, because literally the last 20, 25 years has been all ATL.
I don't know what hip hop would be if ATL wasn't booming the way that it is.
Yeah.
I mean, what other run other than New York?
Like, who's had a better run?
Like, Atlanta had a hell of a run.
Do you think the artists are still taking it serious, though,
or do you think they starting to take it for granted?
Oh, in Atlanta?
Yeah.
Shit, I don't think no one got rich now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shit, people rich.
I don't know.
I don't think they're taking it for granted, though.
It's just everything running its course, right?
Mm-hmm.
Because most cities are going up now.
Memphis?
Yeah.
They're going up.
But it's still in the south though.
Because Memphis niggas and Atlanta niggas kinda sorta same.
Just talk different.
And you still gotta pop in Atlanta.
Yeah.
I think in order to really have a footprint.
You think so?
For sure.
I don't know.
The internet been popping some niggas ass off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Atlanta's such a big market though. You got a hot record, you want that record in Atlanta. I don't know. The internet been popping some niggas ass off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Atlanta's such a big market, though.
You got a hot record.
You want that record in Atlanta.
You want to hear it in Atlanta clubs, in Atlanta lounges.
You want to hear it in Atlanta strip clubs.
New York nightlife is dead. He's saying that's the new stamp, basically.
Atlanta got a stamp back in the day.
I got to get to New York.
I think it's the same thing.
You look at New York nightlife.
New York nightlife is dead.
Where do people usually go?
They usually go to Atlanta.
They go to Houston.
Those are the two places that they really go and party.
They don't even like to stay in New York.
You see Bank of Scream out in two hours.
You know what I'm saying?
When Duvall was here last time, he did the same thing.
He tried to add the plane to wait.
Can y'all just wait?
I'll be right back.
That's true, though.
Now, you do the Hiking with Bank, right?
Yeah.
What is that about?
Like I said, it was something we started last year, June.
We just actually did our anniversary, our one-year hike.
Shots out of my brother, Red.
I'm waiting on more.
He really pushed me towards this, you know, trying to get my fitness together.
Let me scream.
But, yeah, that's my partner in the Hiking With Bank.
We started out, I used to just be in the woods and shit, hiking and showing people I was
in the woods.
People be like, let me go with you.
A couple people went, and Red asked for like, man, let's just, you know what I'm saying,
do Hiking With Bank.
You know what I'm saying?
Did the first one, it was in the rain.
Like a hundred and something people, man.
That shit was like crazy, bro. If you're up in atlanta we do your love that bro it's like
the energy is just magnified you know what i said like you could feel you everybody i ain't seen a
smile a frown on nobody's face and you can see like from the first height to now like how people
been sharing weight like boy you looking good month by month default looking you know what i'm
saying different just awful coming to get that energy and
going throughout a month and doing their own things no I think that's the no I
enjoy the things that I made money off of but I think right now the hiking with
bank is the light I get the best feeling from this out of anything in the world I
do well maybe you start hiking though?
I mean, because you just wanted to transform yourself physically so they couldn't recognize
you in the lineup?
Yeah, that too, but it was like, nah, shit.
Yeah, that ain't even him.
He don't even look the same.
You know, but I was walking on, and I started out on the treadmill, that shit.
You know, you can get off the treadmill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Then I started walking little tracks around the park.
But then I seen white people coming out of the wood one day.
I seen white people coming out of the wood.
I'm just being real.
But they sticks and shit.
I'm like, damn, I'm going to try that one day.
You know what I'm saying?
When they got me some hiking boots, walked up in the woods.
And you get so far out, you got to get back.
So that's how I started pushing myself. Oh, got you, got you. And inside in the woods. And you get so far out, you got to get back. So that's how I started pushing myself.
Oh, got you, got you.
And inside of the woods and that water, bro,
I don't want to turn this shit like on them woke niggas
and no shit like that.
But I'm saying, in the woods, bro,
I don't know what to tell you, bro.
It's too much oxygen and shit, man.
It's like, this is where we supposed to be at.
Man, I got a chapter in my new book called Tree Hug the block and i talk about the benefits of nature because i'm a country boy
so you know i grew up walking on dirt roads walking through the woods right through the cornfields
i know exactly what you mean and i feel like nowadays we so disconnected from nature but
when you go out there and you feel it and like you said there's so many trees you breathe better
like the sun the sun different that wind is all that shit's something different, bro.
Like, I thought I was out there losing weight,
but, bro, I was actually losing a lot of toxins and shit, too.
Out of my brain.
Like, I don't, my shit.
They can tell if I come to Big Fat.
And I can see Jay and the shot looking like,
looking at me because my energy be off it.
But if I come after I done went hiking,
that shit just be, you know what I'm saying?
Electrifying. Taking that shit different, bro you know what I'm saying, electrifying.
Taking that shit different, bro.
That's why them people be coming month to month.
These people DMing me, thank you, texting me, thank you.
I'm like, thank you for walking in the woods like this, Craig.
But I get it, though, because I know how that shit make me feel, bro.
And you create the community.
You know what I'm saying? We lit, too.
Yeah.
We lit.
We be partying, having karaoke.
Yeah, we lit.
And Scream, you got the Scream Foundation, right?
Scream Foundation.
Shouts to Envy, Positivity, Wethers, one of the sponsors for August 3rd.
We doing a big, fresh fest, you know what I'm saying?

Got a restaurant on the way, Palm, 78 Smyrna.
You know what I'm saying?
Shouts to the DJ Connect app.
We just, you know, entrepreneurship, you know what I'm saying,
trying to spread our wings.
You do nights on 96.1.
Yep, 96.1 to beat Friday and Saturday, you know what I'm saying, the weekend.
Shouts to Louis V, the whole team, 96.1 to beat.
Biggest station in Atlanta now.
Now we
can hear the Breakfast Club clearly. You dig what I'm saying? I feel like Atlanta, one of the
places that still cares about radio. I think everybody jump in their car and kind of like
turn the radio on. It's just like habitual. You know what I'm saying? They want to know where to
go, what's going on. Like it's a vessel for information. And I think that our playlist is,
obviously a lot of the playlists in hip hop radio is Atlanta music and Atlanta hits.
Like we were saying, it come from the South.
So it's probably one of the markets where they still care about it the most for sure.
You still break records?
Break records, man.
That's a long conversation.
Do I play new records and stamp them and put my stamp on them?
Yeah, for sure.
But I don't think no one person, I've always said that, like people are like, I broke that record.
I don't think one person can break a record.
I think that's a community of me texting Envy,
bro,
look out for this record,
you know,
texting around like.
I think one person can break a record though.
I ain't no DJ.
I feel like if one of them come bring a song here right now
and you play this shit 15 times back to back,
you just broke that record
and it take off from there.
Yeah.
If you get it first.
I'm saying the very first time.
Like, I walk in the studio and hand you this and you just.
But what if nobody else don't play it?
Yeah, if everybody stop.
You still need a community of people.
You could start the record off, but you still need people to play it.
But what if the internet take it from there?
Yeah, what is that?
I think you could break a record on the internet.
Now, just be honest.
I'm a DJ, but you could break a record on the internet just.
A trend.
It could be a TikTok dance in there.
Yeah, for sure.
But it take a community of people to uplift an artist like,
we'll just say whatever, Future or whoever,
all these people, like a community of people,
a lot of people just pushing that person to become that superstar.
That's how it feels.
The thing I do like about Atlanta, though,
it's like all the artists pop off, but they all come right back to Atlanta.
Like they don't forget about Atlanta.
It seems like they don't forget about like Atlanta media
or Atlanta DJs or people who helped them get to that point.
That's not true?
Uh-oh.
That's crazy.
That ain't true, baby.
Yo, shouts to everybody that came to Big Facts.
Yeah, we fuck with everybody.
But I fuck with everybody,
but I watch them niggas not fuck with niggas too though.
Some niggas just don't fuck with niggas, but outside outside of the city y'all ain't gonna tell that because it ain't gonna be no you know what i'm saying but i think in any
audience i think all to get to a certain point where they start going and they just don't want
to do it anymore yeah you gotta respect certain like like like even pluto my partner future
he don't really do radio you know but he did I
watched his knee when you first thought I won't give a damn where well he did
everybody's shit in the beginning you know I watched him drain itself so I
can't be mad just cuz you my partner it's even on big fat mm-hmm you ain't
been on shit else before I don't watch yeah but if you do that you got to come
back to the you got to come back to the culture.
If you go through the Rolling Stones and all of that,
I think it's always good to come back to the culture.
Yeah, but I ain't gonna even lie.
Before I even did, how I started doing the podcast,
I actually interviewed him for his album.
Fusion?
Yeah, what's the name of the album you dropped?
Wizard or something, one of the albums.
But they did it on Apple Music. It's still up too. It's called Freeband Radio. We did an hour
conversation leading into the album. That shit, they would make a screen like, bro,
you can do that shit. He just said, let's have a conversation. So shout out to him for
that.
You got the CDTF Foundation,
Curating Different Thoughts Foundation,
AKA the Clayton David Tatum Forever.
And I've been seeing you posted by Dave.
Who was Dave to you?
Everything.
You got him on your shirt?
Yeah, yeah, in my heart too.
That nigga everything to me, bro.
That nigga would've been right here.
What's up, Charlamagne?
We fuck with you in the hood.

I don't even know how to explain it.
But I ain't tripping.
I'm tripping, but I ain't tripping.
I don't live up to your day.
I don't live.
I don't make them like that.
What's the foundation of it?
Just like the logo is,
it's one of the pictures that he was,
when he was pulling me up, when we was hiking.
But just pulling dudes up man like trying to
keep change niggas thoughts by showing you can change you didn't want saying
like I don't know niggas looking at like your bank can do something we can do
something that's just what it is no matter people that know me you know
they know where you come from yeah exactly first need probably like man that's another finesse but I know niggas thorn is hit me and people
starting it who I know don't believe that a person can change start to like

You could trick yourself to be different.
Niggas don't even know that.
You could start off like you finessing
or scare yourself to be different, bro.
Niggas scared to be different.
Was you finessing at first?
Nah, I don't know
i can't say that you're trying to figure it out yeah just tired of doing the same
yeah i'm just and i mean like a was just doing no ignorance i'm just saying
is tired of thinking the same way you cannot be doing that physically or actively, but you can be doing some shit to your mind
that's fucking your whole world up, bro.
Like, rearing and thinking and not living in the moment, living in yesterday and living
in tomorrow.
Man, that shit is running nigga crazy, man.
You know what I'm saying?
So, you even living in a place like Atlanta where you saw so many black people
doing so many different positive things,
like that didn't have an influence on you?
No.
What?
Who?
What they doing?
What you talking about?
Oh, everybody, from artists to athletes to lawyers.

We might have some
Entertainment
But ain't no hookah
That's a club
Atlanta nightlife Ain't hurting for nothing, though, is it?
Nah, hell nah.
Niggas out.
But niggas ain't going to no club.
Club, they going to spots like his shit and turn them into clubs.
Yeah.
What happened to the clubs in Atlanta?
Like, Atlanta was one.
Alex know when to start touring.
Especially during COVID.
COVID was the spot where you can go to a club in Atlanta.
But now it seems like nobody's going to those big venues anymore.
Yeah, AG Entertainment.
Alex, he started doing touring.
Like, not to say his niggas ain't in Atlanta getting that shit popping in the club still.
But they're saying Alex used to throw all the biggest shit and have all the biggest people in the city in one spot.
You know what I'm saying?
On a regular night.
So they started doing a lot of touring and shit.
Most of the hood spots closed too
Like just hood spots
Like palace
And niggas started shooting
And shit
Like nobody wanna be
Niggas started shooting
In the club and shit
Niggas ain't trying to do that
Special
It was so many people
From everywhere else
During the pandemic
Cause we was the only shit open
So a lot of people came down
Like a lot of crazy niggas
Came from everywhere
Shooting in the club
And all type of shit
Robbing in Buckhead Like Buck bucket is unsafe so even now now I'm saying
Dean okay now still you know it's back to the back to normal but yeah Atlanta
was just turned to the wild wild west like when we was the only thing open I
did all those hits that Atlanta took a Atlanta? Like Thug getting locked up.
That too.
Take off getting killed.
All that.
All that, bro.
Took a lot of hits.
Yeah, all that.
Like, it's kind of divided.
Like you say, Thug locked up.
Shit, Luchi locked up.
Well, I think Luchi about to get out.
He might be out.
Luchi on the house arrest.
I thought he on though.
Okay.
I believe so.
Then, you know, how, you know, that shit just divided.
Garner, he over here doing his thing.
You know what I'm saying?
How y'all feel about that?
I don't feel no way about it.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Would y'all have him on Big Facts if you?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
We don't discriminate with Big Facts. Like, that's yeah we'll discriminate with big facts like that's
what we tell people pull up let's have a conversation let's have a real conversation
we're gonna ask you if you want to have a real conversation i'm gonna do that
you said who i said gonna gemini though he ain't finna do that and let it be let it be what it
gonna be whatever y'all whatever people think it gonna be let it be what it gonna be that the best
way though yeah when you go to yabba dabba doing about shit it make it worse be, let it be what it gonna be. That the best way though. Yeah. When you go to yabba dabba
doing about shit,
it make it worse, bro.
Just let it be whatever.
Let that shit lay with,
let niggas think
what they wanna think.
Let them talk about me.
When you put something
on it with it,
that shit turn into
like a shit pile.
That's what it feel like,
though.
It feel like the internet
turned it into something
that is actually not.
Cause you see Thug Pops,
it's like,
y'all don't know what the fuck y'all talking about.
Like Thug Family, like y'all don't know what y'all talking about.
I saw Gunna the other day.
I think he might have been doing something with Brown Girl Grinding,
my interview, and he was like, I'm still YSL.
You ain't see Thug say nothing.
By the way, I ain't never seen nobody stand on business like Thug.
Thug ain't said a word.
What does it say?
Nothing.
I'm going to say, but you know what he's doing?
He's doing shit to say about nothing.
But you said it just now, making people be yabba-dabba doing.
That man hasn't said a word about nothing.
Dog fighting for his life.
Yeah, let Brian Stearns talk.
Keith Allen, let them people talk.
He's letting his lawyer talk.
How you supposed to?
That's right.
But it's the same when you start talking that when you.
Said something there
but that's the bad thing
about social media
and especially
some of the people
just want to talk
sometimes
like you said
you gotta let your attorney
just shut the fuck up
all the time
how you think
that situation
gonna turn up
I think Thug
coming home bro
me too
what's that gonna look like
in Atlanta
Thug come home
Tupac
damn
shit like that
I think he gonna
come home though you know what I'm saying Wow. Shit like that. I think he gonna come home, though.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just too much.
And then, you know,
it's Faith Strong.
She got the best lawyers.
I've been watching this shit.
I've been watching.
Yeah, hell yeah.
What would you say
if you was on the jury?
I would say
this shit would have been
a mistrial a long time ago.
Why are you still here?
It's just too much going on.
Did they take the judge off?
They didn't take the judge off.
I thought they were going to take the judge off next.
I heard that Brian still requested that the judge be removed.
He been requesting a lot of shit that they did.
He been requesting a lot of shit.
Now, that's a crazy trial, though, man.
But the fact that he tried to lock up the attorney,
and then the state came back and was like,
nah, you can't do that.
We going to bring that back.
They locked up one of them.
Somebody had got locked up for bringing in some weed
or something
that's what I'm saying
it's a whole movie
it's been a whole movie
somebody gonna make a move
out of that shit bro
what does that do
for Atlanta
if Thug comes home
does that lift the city
back up in a way
yeah
sure
people wanna see
yeah I think everybody
if he stay in Atlanta
everybody gonna come back
to the city
like you know like I said all them niggas them niggas gone really ain't nobody Yeah, I think everybody, if he stay in Atlanta, everybody gonna come back to the city.
Like I said, all them niggas gone.
Really ain't nobody, them niggas gonna be outside.
We used to be outside, everybody used to be like, shit, such and such.
Niggas would pop up, like they was in the magic city.
Every night somebody would be somewhere, they loaded, it's loaded.
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody.
You know what I'm saying?
That shit ain't like that since that.
Like niggas are like, shit, I'm finna get out of the way.
I'm finna get out of the way.
Man, these folks trippin'.

You know what I'm saying?
Somebody like Savage and, like you say, Pluto,

We all remember those people way before they became the super
and megastars that they are.
