Oh, bro. Come on, bro. It's hot in here. Guys, this podcast is also brought to you by Spotify's original Dysect podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Dysk. It is a serialized music analysis podcast where they take a single album per season, examine the lyrics music, and meaning behind one song per day. episode. Their new season is all about Kendrick Lamar's

27 album. Damn! Unpacking a Pulitzer Prize winning album. Note by note, line by line. Stream dissect on Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcast, because great art deserves more than a swipe. Let's get into it, my friend.

Yeah, smooth to my homeboy Tommy. Tommy is a very level-headed... I don't know what I would say Tommy leans towards. That means right. Maybe. That means right. I mean, I think we all have a lot of conservative values, right? Majority of our values are probably conservative.

You don't think? I agree. Not this Trump shit, but I'm going to talk about conservative as far as like, I love capitalism, but I like compassionate capitalism. Yeah. I believe in 2A. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Conservative is a weird word because, like, we assume conservative means like, don't use curse words.

Don't wear that outfit. Don't do this. You mean like... I think I'm center with it. I think it's... 100%. If you're reasonable, you're center. Yeah.

Some things on the left I want and some things on the right I want. Chris Rock had that great joke. You know, sometimes I'm conservative about some things I'm liberal about. I think that's life. I think that for whatever reason motherfuckers don't understand nuance.

But Tommy hit me and it was so funny because Tommy goes, yo, I haven't been watching yet. He goes, yo, impeachment hearings are bad. I'm not glad. I haven't seen him yet.

He goes, it's devastating for Trump. People just need to see it. Tommy, it's an impeachment hearing. But you thought it was going to be good for Trump? It's to call an impeachment trial for a reason. So they're going through with it. It's happening today. Yeah, I had no clue.

Right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Start in the day. That's the beautiful thing about the justice system. If you fucked up and you get clipped, you get clipped, you deserve to get clip. Yeah, but America's fucked up. And the reason I say America's fucked up is simple. because, like, you know how everybody was talking about T.I.'s Hyman?

The Hyman shit last week, T.I.'s daughter's Hyman, whatever it was. And she had, like, 1.5 million tweets at one point. Probably ended up with over three. Don't you think impeachment hearing should have just as much conversation around it? Honestly. Maybe it does. Somebody look it up. I don't know. Somebody look it up online right now. Because we don't care.

What the fuck? We fake care. Just like we fake cared about the hymen. But it's not really care. Like, real talk, I don't think people. really care of Trump's president. I really don't think it actually bothers them. Just like they don't really care

if TI checks his daughter's Hyman. I don't, I think we're bored and we need something to be distracted by every day because life is too fucking good and too easy and our brains are not developed for good lives. Right? So we find problems and then we just

lean into those problems. I agree with you on the TI thing. You might be right about Trump. but people should care. Oh, should? Because he's the president of the United States of America. Should and do completely different? Should we care about TIA and his daughter's hymn?

No. Not three million tweets. Yo, Irf Gide got on TMZ today and Irv. Not today, but maybe it was yesterday. Irv Gide said, it was asking him about the T.I. shit. He said, you, I pulled the gun on my... Daughter? I pulled the gun on one of my daughter's boyfriends.

For what? But he goes, I was playing, though. But I was just letting them know. And I'm like, shit, we'd be just as outraged over that. You can go to jail with that. That's brandishing. Did this guy learn nothing? Dude, there's this

There's this. He was in jail. Wasn't he, Erv, wasn't he in jail? Nah, he was on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was on trial with the feds for something to do with taxes and money laundering and stuff like that, but he beat it.

He beat it or he cooperated? No, no, he beat it. Good for him. Yeah, yeah, he beat the feds. He beat the feds. But I'm just saying, like, if we're, if we're, if we're, shit and that, think about that. Gun culture is so normalized in America.

Yeah. That if you hear a man, especially a black man from hip hop, say he pulled a gun on somebody, it don't even register with you. I know. It just, you don't even care. It's just like, oh, okay. That's how normal gun culture is in America. That's Will Smith and Bad Boys.

Right? Like, he's reenacting his name of bad boys that was meant for, like, comic relief. Yeah. I'm trying to think of I had a gun if I would bring it on my daughter's kid. No. I would let him know I'm a gun owner. How would, how do you do that? Just sitting there cleaning it in the living room.

Oh, that's all. How are you doing there, Bob? Hey. Welcome to. Where are you going tonight? Really? What time will you be back by? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I know that place real well. I drive by all the time for no reason. Okay? I drive by that place all the time at random hours of the night for no reason. So you might see me just drive by. You know what I mean? I might do that. I'm not going to pull the gun on the kid and be like, yo, watch your fucking self.

You know what I mean? But my point is, it's just you. What if he grabbed his dick and he was like, well, I got one too. Whoa. Stand your ground. He's in my house. Stand your fucking ground. He's in my house.

Yeah. This guy assaulting me. Stop attacking me. Hey, man. Get your hands off of me. Hey, man. Hey, man. Hey, do we care about Instagram removing life?

We don't. Because we don't sell gummy bears. Right? We don't. We don't need. their likes, right? Like, you and I have different metrics to decide whether

the Instagram for us is a billboard. Yeah, I don't look at likes, bro. Who gives a fuck? I just post videos. What I think is great about the Instagram like thing is it is basically Instagram going oh, you're not going to make money without us.

You think that's what it is? Yes. They're like, all you guys are making all this money and we're not making any money? Oh, we're shutting that shit down immediately. How is Instagram not making no money though? Because they can't make money off of you selling FITC. Yeah, but they sell ads. Instagramers, they sold that shit for $4 billion. 100%.

But they're not making that Fitsi money. And they're like, wait, why are we letting these people be billionaires off all of our algorithms, off of all of our research, of all our data? Fuck that. Not billionaires, but like millionaires. Do you think you would really give a fuck if you had four billion, if you made $4 billion off an app? Public company, bro.

Anything that can jump up, them stock prices. Really? 100%. I truly believe that's what is. Because people think that when there's no more likes, it means that Instagram is not going to continue to count the likes. Instagram's going to continue to count them. It's just not going to show them.

So in other words, if one of your pictures gets liked a lot, it will show up in the algorithm more than the other ones. You just won't know, or the people just won't know how liked it is. I think Instagram is getting ahead of what is sure to be inevitably considered a major mental health risk throughout the world. I think that they're saying, now let's get rid of the likes to get ahead of people saying the likes and the negative comments is causing people to be in a bad mental headspace.

So if you want to have another five years of Instagram or whatever to fuck, you just get rid of that shit. Well, here's the thing. They're not getting rid of comments. Not getting rid of comments. Right? And they're not getting rid of views. But the difference between comments is comments are filtered like fuck, right? Are they?

Yeah, man, you can go online right now and put in certain words. And then just get rid of them. And whatever, somebody can lead that shit on your page and that shit will not show up. Like you can mute certain words on your page. I need to do that with nose. No. The nose emoji? Yo, son, this was so fucking, this is one of the greatest burns I've ever gotten from someone else.

I'm at the club and I'm trying to do a video in the club as dark. So I take the candle, right? And Alex is filming and I take the candle and I'm talking to the candle and I blew out the candle. Right? My boy goes, he goes, damn, he just blew up, he goes, Mark, Mark goes, damn, you just blew out the candle with your nose or whatever like that. So then instead of the candle, I take my iPhone flashlight, right? I turn that on and I start doing it.

And somehow the flashlight goes off. He goes, you just blew out the flashlight with your nose? How big is your nose? You're blowing out the flashlight. I just think they're getting ahead of it, bro. I think they take it rid of the lights because they want Instagram to be around for another five years.

And you think it would go away if they found out is that crippling to our mental health? Well, first of all, I think it, I know for a fact it's that crippling to people's mental health. Like, majority of,

I think anxiety is on the rise in America, social anxiety and everything because of social media. Go on. I think it gives you a, number one, a fear of missing out. Like,

I want you to really think about, I really want you to think about what you thought you was missing out on before social media. Now you feel like you're missing out on every, fucking thing. Like, before social media,

when did you ever get FOMO? Dude. Maybe a high school football game? Your FOMO was dependent on how good your friends were at telling stories. Like, if your friends couldn't recap the night before that, well, you're like, I ain't

miss out on shit. Maybe a sleepover. Son, you're good at telling stories because you lie. So you had FOMO going, yeah, but that FOMO must have been real in South Carolina, Yeah, yeah, yeah. They want to hear what I got to say.

Yeah. What happened last night? Shal are going to put some sauce on that motherfucker. Yo, so the werewolf came, the werewolf came? Yo, somebody else can tell you the story. I'm like, nah, I got to go to lie. I got to hear, lie, brother. That shit, that ain't slapping like that.

I know, I know that for a fact. I know that for a fact. But FOMO validation. Yes, I think that's where we get caught up. And I think that could be the most crippling thing is going. I'm good when this hits a certain amount of lights. How can you ever build self-esteem? How?

How can you ever build self-esteem? Self-esteem is called self-esteem for a reason. It's not social media esteem. And that's what we're building. It's not Instagram, like esteem, Instagram, Commercy, self-esteem. How can you ever grow self-esteem inside of you if every single moment of your life you're putting online and waiting for other people's validation? How do you build self-esteem in a fucking kid, man? I think about it.

But then how do you build it, right? Like, how do you instill the idea in a kid at a young age that they are valuable and that they can do things? You tell them that. So it's through you. So you are their likes. I mean, I'm where they, like, when you're, when you have kids, you're there day one. Fuck all that other shit y'all be talking about. This is my day one, not.

That's like your day fucking 372, right? Whatever. But your day one is your parents. Yeah, yeah. So those are the people that you look to and those are the people that you look to to, you know, instill values in you and still self-esteem in that person. Like, where are the person that can make our kids be off and on? Just that simple.

So you can reinforce a bunch of negative, you know, narratives in your kid's head and reinforce positive narratives in the kid's head. And the positive narrative really is. You can do anything. And, like, in your life, right? You... Do you think accomplishment over and over

eventually becomes confidence in terms of like you did a morning radio show or you did a radio show rather and it was successful and then you're like maybe that was lucky maybe it wasn't

and then you do another one somewhere else and then it's also successful and you're like maybe that was lucky but I know I think I kind of know what I'm doing and then the third time

it's successful you're like oh wait I know how to do this shit yeah you can't tell me nothing about this radio shit so how many times of success

Did it take before you go, I understand content, I know what hits. The second time. When I, when I, because I quit Z-93 Jans in Charleston, South Carolina, and I did radio at Hot 98-9 in Charleston, that was my first time I got fired. First time I got fired from doing radio in Charleston, I thought that was it because I already had worked at two radio stations in Charleston. I didn't know anything about doing radio in other places.

So in my mind, I thought I was just good enough to do radio in Charleston. Like I am from Charleston. I'm from Monk's Corner. I speak the language. I know the clubs. I know the places to be. I know the places to shout out. I know how to get the hood on my side in this city.

You know? Then I tried to get a job at another station. My girl, T.T. Torres, used to work there at Power 94. T.T. is the music director at High 97. But she used to, we went to high school together. I don't know if people know that. But she was at Power 94, but I didn't get hired there. But when I got the job in Columbia, South Carolina,

which was an hour and a half away, and I was successful there, that gave me the confidence to feel like I can do radio any and everywhere. Then I got with Wendy in 2006, in New York humbled the fuck out of me. What do you mean? Because they told me I wasn't shit. They was like, who's this lish tongue motherfucker talking to all this shit?

Fuck him. I remember they did a poll on WBLS website asking if I should go or stay, and it was like 73% of the people was like, go. Why are you owing me? Oh, take your self-esteem away. When you say something, somebody goes, oh. Son, Taylor's emotional today because I said my nose thing earlier,

and she said, oh, to that too. Really? Yeah, what's going on, T? You know what's going on. Is it that? You got, are you? You know. Are you struading?

Struating. We don't say menstruating. We're progressive over here. Men don't got nothing to do with that. All right. Screw waiting. I don't know why they even do that. Men want to be in control of everything.

Why do we want to be in control of the worst week of her fucking month? Real talk. Real talk. That's patriarchal. I think a woman made that name up, to be honest with you. Men strating? Men strating. The worst week of your month.

The seven days when you bleed, you want to give that to us? That's fucked up. No, that's straight. You'll keep that. That's yours. It's just screwading from now on. That's not trueating. That's right.

We dropped the men from it. Yeah. You know? But. New York humbled me. But once I got through that, and they started showing me love in New York, I knew I could write my own ticket from there.

They humble you, they release the survey, all this stuff happens. Yes. You are still getting good ratings. Well, Wendy was still getting good ratings. People are still listening to the show. Yeah, but it's because Wendy has allowed me to be on there. Of course.

Wendy could have got, like, fuck you, get the fuck on. But Wendy allow time for something to work. and my dude Ronald Ferguson. I don't know if Ronald dead. I don't know if Ronald dead or alive. Ronald from Columbia, South Carolina. Ronald told me, he was just like, yo, you're going to win up there.

I'm like, what do you mean? He was like, you're going to win up there. He was just like, just keep being you. Keep being your authentic self. Keep telling the truth. That's what you do. Like, that's going to always win. And Ronald was old.

So I guess this goes back to, you know, having somebody to reinforce those, he's seen it. Those positive affirmations in your brain. And what were you saying, out? Oh, shit. Alex, put your lips on the mic, Alex. Yeah.

Charleman helped you feel less gay listen to Wendy. Alex is gay? Now Alex has been gay for a long time. Ain't not wrong with being a little gay. Taylor's out here. Yo, Metro Taylor is the shit. A little emotional but great with the board. No, scrimstrill.

Screensile, no men in it. Listen. Alex, you gay? Listening to Wendy made him feel gay. Oh. Is it because Wendy's manly? I don't know. I'm...

He's absolutely right. That's why he bought me on the show. To have something for the guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was their thing. They literally bought me on the show because they thought the show was... I mean, because you got things since 2006.

Yes. So they thought the show was leaning a little too... Girlie. Gossipy. And it is. And that's the space she's in now. She's doing very well in it, obviously. And 13 years later,

Everybody thinks I'm gay. Alex, see, there's a future. It works out. The borough of the story is, you can't get away from gay. Let's go stay with you. That gay is going to be on you. You hear me, tank? It just is what the fuck it is.

So then there's the message, right? It's like, I guess, believe in yourself, having people to reinforce that a little bit, but having your own accomplishments to, like, to solidify. that you can do it. I just admire the people that can deal with, like, admire the people that, like, have such sure view of their vision that they can deal with the initial onslaught.

Because a lot of times there is onslaught with change, right? Like, you insert some characters into a TV show or something, and initially, or even every time we change the fucking iOS system on an iPhone, we're like, oh, this new shit sucks, da-da-da-da. And then eventually we're like, oh, okay, this is kind of convenient, this kind of cool, whatever. So I admire Wendy for sticking with something she knew would work even when the poll was very against it.

Or Wendy just could have been like, even if you don't think, it could be it could go two ways, right? Wendy could have been like, look, I don't know if this shit is going to work, but I put you here, so I'm not going to be wrong. So ego gets in. Yes, man, we're going to make this shit work.

Maybe. You know what I'm saying? That's why ego is not a bad thing, right? I've been talking to my spiritual. advisor about this. Who's your spiritual advisor? My name is Yadi. Sluot to Yadi.

It's so funny, I didn't even know you're going to talk about this, but I put this in my notes. Where is it about EG? Yaddy? Ego, right? She said the ego is actually a beautiful thing. She said the ego is your soul imprint. The ego is what makes you who you are.

The ego is what makes you an original. She said, embrace your ego. She said, there's a difference between a beautiful ego and a wounded ego. The wounded ego is the hurt little child that exists within us all. That's the difference. Like, you can have a beautiful ego.

A beautiful ego is knowing who the fuck you are. You know what I'm saying? Like, you think Michael Jordan didn't have an ego? Mm-hmm. Michael Jordan had an ego because he knew he was Michael Jordan. Yo, I heard a story yesterday on ESPN. They said Michael Jordan played like 20 rounds of golf.

Frank, 10 beers. Drink 10 to 15 fucking beer. Went out and dropped 40. Told the guy, the guy was like, yo, because I guess he lost in the golf tournament or whatever. And Michael Jones said, let's double it up or whatever. He was like, I bet you I'll score 40 points. And some other crazy nights,

I bet you I'll score 40 points and we'll beat them by 20. That's what it was. And said, the guy went from the golf course to the fucking United Center and beat these motherfuckers by 26 points and scored 52. Off 10 buttlights. Only your ego can make you feel like you're that fucking good. I'm Michael fucking Jordan.

There's nothing you can do to stop me. I tend to agree with that. But your wounded ego is that hurt little child that exists within you who gets upset when somebody makes fun of your nose. Right. Who gets upset when somebody tells you that you're not good enough. Yes. Because that's their hurt little child that got told that when they was young.

So now that they're older, they try to flex on motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying? Because their ego is hurt. When we say, yo, yo, somebody's ego is hurt. a bruised ego. That's what wounded ego is. But ego can be a beautiful thing. I mean, Ryan Holiday wrote a whole book about it called Ego with the enemy, but he also talks about

how the ego can be valuable. Later in this episode, I sit down with a Black Youngston and we have a conversation about that, just about ego in general. And I was asking him about why he's so cordial for someone who seemingly has had a very real life in the streets. and he goes, you know what I realize is the people who look tough all the time, they don't feel tough inside.

That's why they got to look tough because I know who I am. So I can smile. Wax is the most happy go lucky person. Same. You'll ever meet. Same thing. Every person I ever knew in this street that would beat you up, shoot you, really harm you, was a happy go lucky person?

There's a... I'm dead saying, I'm not even joking. No, no, they allowed themselves to be. happy, because they know who they are and they know what they'll do when the time comes. Listen,

salute to my homeboy, Steele, T.J. would go to parties and love to dance and have a good time and love to laugh and love to joke. But when he was ready

to knock your fucking head off, he would simply crack his knuckles and be like, how are you, man? That's just how it was. His name was Steele? Yeah, he would call him still because he'll knock you to fuck you.

out. Very on brand. I like it. Very on brand. Yeah. He would knock you to fuck out. But he was a happy go lucky person. He liked to have a good time.

He liked to have fun. I'm telling you, the people that understand who they are have no problem seeming vulnerable. You know, the people who truly know who they are aren't trying to put on the front. They aren't trying to convince constantly. Right? It's like we always talk about this with wealthy people. Like the people who are really wealthy ain't really flexing. No, no.

You know what I mean? Like, we talk about this with the people who accept their mental health are unafraid to tell you they're fucking sad sometimes. Yeah, man. Right? Yeah, man. Like, anybody fronting like they're fucking happy or fronting like even they're depressed. You know, there are people who try to manipulate you and they'll be, like, pretend to be like down all the time because it's a tactic to like work your empathy to get shit. Yeah.

You know? Yeah, I think it's two things too. I think that, number one, I think a lot of brothers just be happy that they're alive and a lot of brothers would be happy that they're not in jail. So if you really was in the street And you know You talk about somebody like black youngster Black youngsters probably really seen his life flash Before his eyes

A bunch of different times Like he's been in jail His freedom has been on the line Like he just, one of his cases Just got dropped if I'm not mistaken You know You know, he's probably been in situations Where he thought he was going to die

So he's just really happy To be out here And you know be alive And when you talk about the The depression stuff The mental health issues Like I look at what's happening With Summer Walker right now

Who's Summer Walker? She's an R&B artist Who, you know I guess she's been underground for a while, you know, but she put out her album and her album with number one in the country. And, you know, now she's on tour and stuff like that. And yesterday she got on social media and she said she needs to take a break. She has to cut some of these tour dates because she suffers from fucking social anxiety.

And I don't think people understand how crippling social anxiety can be. And one of the biggest issues that people with social anxiety suffer from is that when they're around a group of people, they're trying to be what this group of people wants them to be. They want to be liked. They want to be accepted instead of being their true authentic selves. Do you know how frustrating and how difficult that must be when you're a fucking artist? Especially a music artist? I got to be on all at a time for y'all.

And you're dealing with your first success? What the thing? No fucking rule book for this shit. Ain't no manual. Ain't no here. You just went number one in the country. This is how things supposed to be. And think about how long was she performed before this happened?

I have not. She's young. I didn't even know who Summer Walker. I thought Summer Walker was D.J. I thought DJ Drama was the longest. I was like DJ. Because DJ Drama did have a girlfriend named Summer Walker. I thought this whole time when people was talking about Summer Walker. They was talking about her. I said, shit, drama must feel like shit right now that Summer Walker's popping. This is a whole other person. A whole other woman. But my point is social anxiety is so real, especially when you're a public motherfucker figure because you got to be on all the time. And they force you to be around people. And people act like mental exhaustion is not. not a real thing. Physical exhaustion, we totally understand.

Oh, they've been working too hard. They've been running around. They've been on tour. Like, yeah, they need a break. But mental exhaustion is like, ah, tough. Drink some coffee. You know what I'm saying?

A lot of people, yeah. A lot of people don't get the, the intensity, the intensity that like entertaining requires, right? Because it is, doing this, like we're having a podcast or these types of things, like even performing

a live show, it's not as hard as building a bridge. You know what I mean? It's not as hard as like constructing a fucking building. We're not comparing the physical labor to that. But when you're entertaining a live audience or you're doing that show, it is mentally engaging. You're using every one of those fucking muscles in your body, in your brain to produce that. And afterwards, it is exhausting, dude. You feel empty afterwards. And most creatives are introverts.

Right. Most creatives like to be to themselves creating. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And so it's like, now I got to take this shit and present it to the world and be in front of people and perform it and shit. Like, what if I don't want to do that? What if I just want to create and give this shit to somebody who's naturally built to be in front of the motherfucking camera? I think you're describing a lot of producers.

I think you're describing a lot of guys that, you know, they realize, hey, that's not for me. Or hey, I'm better at this thing, you know? Music is such an odd thing, man. Like, what do you think it is about us that we respond, about humans, that we respond to music and the way we do? Why is it so, I can remove us. I think it's the drums. I think drums sound like the heartbeat in the womb.

So music brings us back to the womb. I think so. Because, fuck, man, it can change my mood. There are few things that make me cry. but I can put on certain music and it can set a tone where I'll get into like a storyline or something in my head

and I can get emotional off a fucking song. Maybe it's just energy. Maybe it's just like if somebody's sad and they make a record that energy goes into the record and you feel that energy.

Maybe music is a capsule of whatever emotion you're going through in that moment. It is a time capsule. Maybe. And maybe it's just something you access when you want to feel sad, you know what song to listen to.

When you want to feel hype. Angry, you know what's on the list to When you want to feel hype, you know what I'm going to listen to. When you want to get, that's what I say, let's get in the mood. When you want to get in the mood, that's why you got these records that talk about sex. Maybe. I don't know.

But why is it that simply putting something to melody is way more effective than someone just saying the words to you? I feel like that about film, though, and TV. Like, it's certain episodes of TV shows I can watch. I know exactly how it's going to make me feel. I know how I'm going to feel when I watch boys in the hood and Ricky gets shot. I know how I'm going to feel when I watch my girl and Thomas's. Jay gets stung by the goddamn beast. Like I know how I'm going to feel when I'm motherfucking, you know, watch coming to America.

Like, it's a feeling it gives me. That's why a lot of times we don't like a lot of the content that we're presented now because it don't give us a feeling. Oh, and that. Meaning, like, I'm not into Drake, like, a 20-something-year-old might be into Drake. Well, I don't even know if they're into Drake anymore because he got booed this week. But I'm not into those things because I don't feel. feel him the way I feel of Jay-Z.

You know what I'm saying? Jay-Z represents a period of my life. It was things that I was going through when reasonable doubt was out, when in my lifetime was out, when in my lifetime, Varm 2 was out, when fucking the blueprint came out. It's things that I was going through in my life.

I can pinpoint moments. Even now in my adult life, 4-44 to me represents Anguilla. Because when that album came out, it came out on June 30th. So that was my birthday. It was the day after my birthday. It was the day after my birthday.

It came out at midnight. And then I flew to Anguilla that next day. So that whole time, we in this villa, and I remember Debbie Dev was there with us that summer and her husband, Duane, and we was just listening to me and Duane was on 4-44 that whole week. Right. So. But it represented more than just the experience there. It represented adulthood, fatherhood. Finances.

Finances, being an entrepreneur, being a businessman. And, like, that album had all of that in it. And I was literally living my best life. Like, wow. Damn. So music can attach itself to the moments of the moment so. the creator, but it can also attach itself to moments of the listener. So a song on For Ho-Hor or a song on, you know, reasonable doubt can mean something to you.

It might be completely different than what it meant to Jay because of when you listen to it and how you're feeling when you listen to it. Like, you know how like some people say they can look at an art piece and it represents something to them, right? That might be completely different than the painter who painted it, for example. I think that's true with music I think there are certain songs that like whatever reason are baked into us emotionally

Like if I listen to Sinatra's My Way I'm gonna have a different feeling about that song Than maybe someone else who listened to it If my father listened to it Yeah You know the My Way song It's... My Way Hard door If you understand

I mean how can you not relate to that Bro, but you're a self-made independent person But I relate to it in a way where it's like it's a come up whereas the song if you listen to it it's the end of the day it's about to die right

or it's over but I relate to it with the trajectory going up but I'm choosing to put that on it and I'm choosing to let it inspire me now what if you're the type of person who can plan all the way to the end that's what 40A law of the power

tell you do it tell you to plan all the way to the end if you're the type person that can plan all the way to the end you're looking at that song my way from how you want your ending to be be. You know what I'm saying? You could already be living in your ending and knowing based off what you're doing today

how your tomorrow is going to be. So if you are successful doing things your way for real, for real, you already know at the end of the day when you take your motherfucking bra off, you can put that Frank Sinaitron. Right, right. I don't know why you chose bra. I mean, what do guys do at the end of a day?

Not take your bra off. What signifies the end of the day Better than taking your bra off Lay in bed Take your pants under your tie I like the bra Bro Taking the bra

Feel way more relaxing But you don't have a bra But it looks like it feels relaxing Just letting your tities go That's all Let them shit hang You know what I'm saying It's taking your fucking shirt off

Taking your fucking bra Don't worry about how this shit sit That's what Frank Sinatra was talking about When they were making that song He's like can we have something that just feels like taking your bra off at the hell end of a long day. What did you bring wax in?

Ah, okay, good, good, good, good. Look at Taylor trying to produce. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Wax was at Frosty wedding this weekend with motherfucking... You guys are back on good terms? Who?

Yeah, man. Yeah, man. So great. We lived the life. No, no. Now, I heard that Frosty is not the only person that's settling down. What happened? I heard that, you know, Wax might have a new boo.

You know, he's out there on social media. What are you talking about? You ever seen my social media? I've just said, look at my page right now. What are you talking about? I'm seeing this type of hugging on. No. Oh, hey, listen, what's going on?

With the heart emojis and the smiley face? Wow, okay, thank you. Who is this? Because listen, they'll do this. Y'all don't do this. Hey, Wax refused to be in love with a black woman. No, she's black? No, she's not.

She's close. No, she's not. She's from the score. All right, let's go, which I got. Somebody set me up. You did something. Somebody sent that picture because that's a screenshot. This is beautiful.

Listen, Wax's ready. Wax been ready. Yeah, man. You know, my sister, she's still my sister. He was in love with her. Can we say who that is? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know what you're talking about.

I ain't ever see that. That shit gonna set her off. I'd never seen that. Let me see that type of embrace, man. But I never have seen that before either. Let me see it. You're in it. Yo, he ready to get married.

When you hugging a girl from the back like that. Can I see that, though? It's, first of all, it's a screenshot. It's a boomerang where you're just kind of nuzzling your nose against her nose. Let me see that. Eskimo kissing a woman's neck. Bro, like that. Like that, he goes like this in it.

By the way, in the Eskimo kiss, he got to adjust his hat up, right? Listen. You know Wax don't just move his hat for nobody. He exposed himself to the world. That's what I'm saying. Can I see the picture? You were in it.

I was there, but I don't know how long ago that was. Like, where was that? No, dude. All right, so, hey, what's up? You're in love. What else? What else is going on? Are you in love?

What do you mean? Are you in love? This is holiday time. You know what I'm saying? What's that mean? I don't know. It's cuffing season? I guess so.

You ready to be married? Why not? Frosty got married? Wax caught the bouquet at Frost Wedding. It was unbelievable. It was God. I pushed everybody out of the way. I pushed everybody out of the way.

I don't know how it happened. I did a football move. I call that an interception. If it's five women lined up and wax catch the bouquet, that's the interception. They told me to do that. Everybody told me to do that. Wait, you really called it? I intercepted in front of all the women.

Oh, that's hilarious. This poor lonely single-ass chicks trying to get married so bad. Black had on Tim's with a suit and a hat. And the funny shit is this is coming. Not doing the wedding or reception. The reception I put it back home. Like, I'm chilling. This is the group chat, right?

This is the group chat before the wedding. They told me soon as I got it. These are all my guys, right? I hear a bunch of people like, oh, I lost. This is my dude, T-Mobile, Coup, Freddie G's. So T-Mobile goes. So here's the bet. Coop puts the eye emojis.

Timovo goes, Wax wears Tims or Wax wears a hat? Timoble goes, what you got? Coup says, hat. Tumbo goes, I got $10 on the Tims. Coup, y'all take the hat. Timo says, we call it for both the ceremony and the reception? Timo says, Timo says, I see him putting the hat on at the reception for sure. Wax fucks him up.

Wax comes in the hat and some goddamn black thimps. So you double down. Double down. Fuck you up. Everybody lost. Everybody lost. Everybody lost. Wow.

Everybody lost. That's amazing, dog. Listen, man, trying out here. I feel like this is good for you. You have a good calm energy. I feel like, you know. Yeah. I'm chilling. I've always been like this.

But now maybe this girl and maybe you're the way that you're emotionally attached and the way that you're operating with her physically and public, maybe that's something that's going to take you to that level. Yeah. It's time for you to grow up, wax. Yeah. Yeah, why not? No, it's time for you to grow up.

I don't even know what's going on. No, no, it's time for you to grow up. I wish you was with a black woman, even though I do like this young lady. But she's, she is from the diet. I don't know what that word is. From Disney World? She's from the Disney World. You know, who did this?

And that person was just saying how, like, yo, like they're overprotective of their daughter. because of, you know, what she went through in her life.

Ah. And when I started, you know, bigging her up, like, Wax just, he just went in. You know what I'm saying? Let me hear. I would love her too. She's really beautiful. You know what? When you know that Wax really interesting, when he started using words that got more

to use the four, yeah, yeah, yeah. More the four letters. You know what I'm saying? I'm really, you know. What an exquisite woman. She's, she, she's, she, I'm enchanted by her, you know what I mean? Enchanted. Enchanted.

Wow. Let's pay some bills, man. So did you walk home barefoot? That's not the way of marking this territory. That's his way of marking this territory. Some people plant trees, wax plants the boot that has a tree on it, in the house. Boom. That kind of makes sense.

And then other guys would know if they could. came in, they'd be like, hey, why is there a size 13? Exactly. Don't stay away from my girl. There you go. So it is your girl. Okay. I like this. This is really great. Thanks Alex. Listen, I'm not mad. I'm cool. That's what it says holiday time is cool. You know what I'm saying? You're going to get it something for Christmas?

Yo, you know you should get her. You should get her that subscription to Disney Plus. Whoa. Can we come back and talk about that? It's probably free in Florida. It's probably free.

Disney Plus, when you make it sense? How can't do it? You can't tell her nothing. You can't tell her. You got gifts? She got a gift today. Another one? Flowers.

It's not flowers, but it's a fragrance. Listen, if you're looking for a fun way to pass the time... Hold on. Hold on. Let's go. If you're looking for a fun way to pass the time while engaging your brain and enjoying breathtaking visuals and a gripping story, your answer is Best Fiends.

So the game is very good. Go check it out. Let's get back to the show. Let's get back to this love connection that we have right here. Now, Taylor got, wow. Somebody sent me the picture. I ain't even realized it. Who the, holy shit.

I didn't even know I had this shit. I'm serious. I'm not being missing all this good shit. So crazy. So who's sending to you? I'm not saying who's going to me. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Wow.

Wow. This guy's going crazy. Get your boy. Get your boy if I kill him. Holy shit. Holy shit. What do you mean? A girl sent it?

Yeah, the girl's that get your boy before I kill him. Whoa. Wow. This is crazy. Why are you just happened to go there? I was on my phone. Look at something else. It just happened to come across that.

I was looking at this shit. Yeah, and it just happened to come up. I hit my DM. Wow. Wow. He ain't checking it in that long? Wow. This guy is so crazy.

I was in a meeting. You was with me. Wow. This is crazy. He's got the best excuses in the game, bro. That's the best excuse ever. You was with me. All right.

What are we saying? We're going to talk about? Huh? No. No, she got flowers. Is the flower a period of joke? Tell everybody what you got. Tell everybody what you got.

No, somebody be sitting her flowers here and there. This is a reason why I. got it. Yes. So someone wants to come to the show and this was Justin Bieber and some other guy, whatever, and they were doing like a combined project and they sent me

flowers again. No, they sent me deodorant. Deodorate? Yes. That's what they said me. Is that what that was? Yes. Why would they send you deodor? Because that's a project they're doing. I don't know. Deodorant? Why would they just randomly saying you deodorant? It's with charcoal and all that stuff. Don't do that. Do not. Do not. Try me.

Who's his deodor? Come on there. They might be my tampons. I did my thing. You better stop all that fucking milly rock until you figure out why he said you deodorant.

You better to stop all that Harlem shaking. We're going to be sweating this motherfucker. We don't know what the fuck is going on. All right. So you usually get flowers. Can we do a smell test? Do you feel comfortable

with us doing a smell test? This guy has no drugs. Let me smell. Arm all. way up. No. Why are you worried? I was sweating earlier.

It's true. Oh, oh. Who made her hot? Somebody made her hot. Black Yulkson made her hot. You just now say you was hot. Yeah.

Black youngster? Tell her that's random as fuck with somebody to send you some deodorant. It is an odd thing. That was a small ass bag. There wasn't no deodorant in that bag. What?

That's like tampons. Somebody sent ten pounds. How many deodorants was it? It was like three for all you. Oh. You sure? Taylor. Go get it.

Where's the bag of? Oh, my God. I'm not getting it. Can I smell? Taylor. You just told the whole face lie. You know, good and goddamn well I looked in that bag before I fucking gave it to you. You just fucking let a lie rip.

Three for all of y'all. Oh, what? Stick in your own. No. Did you get one too? No. You never got one? No.

They're supposed to sit more. No. They're supposed to. Hold on. Taylor. Oh, my God. Is this like a, wait a minute. This is very important.

What's going on here? First of all, I'm the producer? No, I mean this seriously. I know in the winter months, often people that are stink don't put on deodor because I think it's cold. But you're warm inside. You're warm inside. You're hot.

You're running. You're running. And you got the, I know it's too much. It is. It is. All right. Do you ever think you get musky? No.

All right then. So what you worried about? Because I did sweat, so I don't know exactly how I smell. Well, next time you smell. I smell good. If I ever catch you smelling, can I tell? You're supposed to love you. It's all right.

It's all right. It smells like a pet store. A pet school. We have to do this for each other. If I'm ever stink, how would you tell me? You stink. How should I tell you if you're ever stink? You stink.

You stink. Okay. All right. Now? I hate you. What? Oh, were you going to realize some information? No, I haven't smelled there.

I don't. Let Charlotte smell you to make sure my nose isn't off. I hate you. Come in. Let's just do it. It's just a whiff. It's just one whiff. And same arm.

Same arm. What the fuck is wrong with Charles? It's a little central parkey. Yeah, you have. It's a little central party. It's a little central party. Instead of when they see us, when they smell us, just a little. Just a tad.

Just a tad. I hate Joe. So this was going on in a brilliant idiot. This is what we going on? That's crazy. All right. We got to get out of here. Listen, let's talk about Colin from we go.

Yes. This is big news, man. What do you think? Colin Calvin got a tryout on Saturday. It's coming this Saturday. This Saturday. Right? So this Saturday, he has the tryout.

Who trying them? I think any team can show up. Yes, the NFL is holding a workout for Colin Kaepernick on Saturday. They sent out a league memo on Tuesday, Tuesday afternoon. And I think a few teams were already scheduled to be there. But now that they sent the memo out league wide, I guess the other teams don't want to look bad. So they're like, shit, they won't show up. And the reason this is a good thing is because the NFL called this workout.

So being at the NFL called this workout, then that's the bat signal to say, this guy's good. Y'all can sign them now. Question, do you think this is the influence of J.Z in any way, shape, or form? Listen, you know, I am a J. Hovers' witness. I am a Pinkett-Smith-Win-Rin-Rin-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Talter.

I would think so. And the reason I say I would think so is because when you have somebody on the inside that is not letting up on this one thing, whether or not people think, you know, this is something he may have been pushing or not, I think, I think yes. And not only just to influence the whole,

just the influence of people who won't let it go. You know what I'm saying? Social media. Yeah, this is social media. This is Capp. This is all these things. Absolutely. This is what we were talking about.

This is Nesford. This is Eric Reed. This is everybody who will not let it go. I'm with CAP. Yeah, absolutely. Everybody involved. But it's very important to understand the distinction of when you have someone at the table and when you don't.

Yes. And if this is Jay-Z's influence, that's why. you want to be at the fucking table. And he dealt with all this onslaught of bullshit when he signed up to work with the NFL, of course, because people are idiots and they just don't understand how business and commerce works.

But when you have somebody at the table, and I don't want to give him prematurely too much credit, when you have someone on the table, all of a sudden everybody else in that meeting, who is not on Twitter and does not give a fuck about the average person thinks, all of a sudden they're like, actually, that's not a bad idea. Because you know what this does?

It makes the NFL look good. Makes the NFL look great. I'm going to tell you something else. like once again, I don't know if Jay Z had anything to do with this or not. This is just brilliant idiotous logic. Of course. I'm thinking he did, right? If you're at that table and it's people that can dismiss things on social media,

like, oh, that's just social media talking. You cannot dismiss? Somebody like, no, this is the real shit. It's really a thing. You know what I mean? Or people at Rock Nation, like, no, this is really a thing. You can't dismiss it. So I don't know if Jay had any influence or not.

We'll never know because that's not how he moves. You know what I'm saying? Even better. Yeah, he don't move like that. But pay attention. This is the difference when you sit at the table. And if you have to go through a little bullshit to sit at the table, it's worth it. Absolutely.

That's why you can't be so quick to cut your people's fucking head off. Boom. Give you people time to cook. So now Cap got to say something to your Hove now, right? Regardless, I mean, you got to see, be cool. Just because Hove is inside the room, I think it's still made it. Ove probably ain't say nothing, but just because he did. I think if Colin gets back in the league and I don't see why he will not make a team this Saturday,

because especially the way quarterbacks have been dropping like flies in the NFL this year, he should make somebody's roster. if he's going to be back in the league, he should absolutely be a part of the NFL Social Justice Initiative. You know what I'm saying? Not being a part of it because he's got his own with No Your Rights Camp, but partnering

with them. Like if you're going to play in the league, you should definitely have a seat at the table of the NFL Social Justice Initiative and why wouldn't you want to? 100%. It makes zero sense for you not to. Because me personally, I think Colin Kaepernick's bigger than the NFL.

I think what he represents is bigger than the NFL. And I also think that it's like, you know, I just think it's kind of whack to bash the NFL but still want to be a part of it. But if playing makes you happy, I support him 120 million percent. But if you're going to be in the league, use that platform for more than just football.

If the NFL has social justice initiatives, whether there's impact change or whatever the players coalition is trying to do, I don't know what the fuck it is. Be a part of it. Be a part of it. You're Colin Kaepernick. It's bigger than you. You are a symbol, my brother.

Like these people look at you and they're calling you to New Ali and all this other shit. Be a part of it. And how long did Ali take off when he was arrested? Three years and some change. And how long is cap'n't off? Been three years and some change. Listen, there's interesting parallels. It could be really cool. There could be a great redemption story.

I mean, you never know. Honestly, I don't know what the quarterback lineup in the Baltimore Ravens is right now, but I'll tell you one thing. Lamar Jackson is playing on an MVP level. Never seen anything like it. It is unreal. It should look like fucking John. Madden.

When I watch Vic and Madden. Like I don't play those games when I sit down with a 10-year-old and play, that's how he makes me

look with fucking Lamar Jackson. But if you're the Baltimore Ravens, you have to be concerned if randomly Lamar takes a big hit. Right?

And God forbid any sort of injury takes him out a couple games. Imagine you had another quarterback. It could be mobile if he needed to be.

Good arm strength to step in for a few games. in the event, your schemes don't have to change? You don't think he won't want to start, though. He ain't going to want to be behind nobody. No, no, no, no, no. You don't think he going to start?

I mean, listen, it might be some places in the league can start right now. Yeah, for sure. But wouldn't you rather him be on a team that was successful? I want him to be on a team that's successful. Or I'll go to the Falcons. Or make a team successful. Some teams just need a quarterback right now.

Falca's got 40% black season ticket holders. They suck right now. You keep fucking Ryan. You know what I mean? But you bring motherfucking cap in. That fucking number seven Atlanta Falcons jersey would be the fucking, unless somebody else got seven already, but that'll be. You know who the last person had seven on the Falcons?

I think it was like Vic. Yeah. That'll be the fucking highest selling jersey in NFL history. The black, black city. Yeah. That's probably why teams going. They're looking at all that. But it might serve the NFL better to be half cap in the playoffs.

I'll put them on a playoff team. Maybe cap with the Patriots. I don't fucking know. You know what I mean? There's a lot of interesting situations he could be. A lot. Anyway, man. But I'm happy for.

I'm sending them positive energy. Right. If being in the NFL is what makes him happy, great. You know, NFL finally came to their senses. I don't know if Jay had anything to do with it or not, but I'm just happy that he's... Let people change. What do we always say?

Absolutely. What do we let people evolve. Let people change. If it's the NFL, let it evolve. Yeah, absolutely. Let it change. Absolutely. Like, we can't ask for certain treatment for ourselves

and not bestowing on others. It just means that everything that you was screaming about worked. Whether it was cap's knee, you know, protesting. And then, you know, he was protesting against the police, police brutality that black and brown people are facing unarmed black and brown people. But if that turned into, damn, it's an injustice that cap isn't in the league. And everybody's saying, I'm with cap and standing up for cap and not letting this shit go.

If that's what made them finally be like, yo, we're right. Y'all are right. This is wrong. Let's give the brother another shot. It worked. Bro. It's so true. It worked.

And honestly, you know what the best knee is? Disney. I agree. I have fun. I totally agree. I know I never went to Disney even as a kid because we couldn't afford it, but this is like one of the best experiences in my life for real. Oh.

That ain't have to do all that. I just heard of it. I didn't think I was going to like it. Man, I thought it just shot her out just now. Nah, chill out. The fact she made you that vulnerable the way you say, you said that she's one of the most happiest experiences you've ever had in life. Going to Disney, you have fun when y'all went to Disney when y'all was young, right?

Appreciate that. But I'm a big fan of you as an Instagram personality. Okay. I found your music second. Okay. Which I think is like this weird, I think this is this weird social media phenomenon where you can like meet somebody.

Right. And then you can admire their personality, their hijinks, and then you find their art after. Correct. Right? Yeah. I'm here at Black Yonks though right now. All right. Dude, I'm telling you, there's part of me that watches this and goes, this is completely

organic. This is just happening in the moment. When you're outside of a gas station, just throwing money everywhere, like pouring out the syrup, like all these like antics. They're just so great. Then there's other part of me that, like, is this guy a marketing genius?

Is this guy like Vince McMahon? Like, are you a wrestling fan and you've plotted out the whole fucking game and you're like, I know what works and I'm leading into it. Which one is it? I'm gonna keep it on. It's organic.

Like, I ain't... In the moment? Yeah, in the moment, I don't be planning to do nothing. Like, I never plan none. I just do it. I don't think I do it. I'm going to go turn up to that on the ground.

And then whenever I find some, I'm doing, I just go, what's up, you know, and be lit. But you have to know what people are into. Obviously, the money stuff is, the money stuff is going to work. You throw the money, that always works. I know this based off,

out of the memes. If you're not a meme, if you're not a meme, you're not, you're not answering, you need to get off Instagram. So if you're not involved in the meme culture at all. Then they ain't do nothing.

Their video wasn't, it won a success for me. So it's like, if I post something and I don't become a meme, it's kind of like, all they want a successful. But if it becomes a meme, then it's like, yeah, that was it.

And how do you keep track if people are meming you? I mean, the thing is, every video don't be a meme. I can post 10 videos today. And I want to maybe one of them might be a meme. Yeah. So, like, you got to just keep going to your head. It's like hitting the lottery. Yeah.

When it becomes a meme, it brings more attraction. Bring it to your page. Because everybody's working for you. Yeah. Thank you. Yes. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. I hear you, man. You see it with Stephen A. Smith all the time. You follow sports. Yeah. He's like the ESPN guy. I know you're talking about, but I don't really like sports.

Why? I don't know. I just always feel like it was gay. What? Keep going. You mean guys in tight outfits tackling each other's gay? Nah, football are kind of a little rough. Basketball.

I ain't saying gay like with them playing or the players. I'm saying far as like, just a lot of dudes sitting on the couch looking at a lot of dudes. Yeah. There's a lot of dudes. But isn't that what we do with you? We sit on the couch and we're looking at you. I don't know. I ain't know that.

I think this gay too Did I just out myself? No, but it's kind of like On a serious note though Yeah Like when I was coming up I always watch people just Like it's a guy and they're on the couch

Super deep just Everybody sitting up Like playing games Watching games Yeah Life is not a game Yeah Life is real

Yeah, like Well maybe that's why we like sports Right It's because like we get out of the reality of life Yeah It's like there's some shit That's control So sports is needed.

It's needed. If you think about it, you look at their way, sports is needed. You know, because like I imagine, and this is just for me kind of like hearing you talk a little about, you had some maybe potentially rough situations coming up. Correct. Yeah. It's not like on the streets, there's a referee that comes in and goes, whistle, stop, play, he's being a little rough. Right. Like some shit happens, and then that's it.

It's final. Right. You know what I mean? With sports, I think it's nice. It's like we have this illusion of seriousness. It looks like it's war. Right. But then when it gets a little too crazy, they're like, okay, guys, break it up.

Too much. It's a little too much. It's like this safe version of war. I'm going to keep it a hundred, bro. All right. So when I play football, I think I'm just, just, I'm still mad about, like, I would actually be over like that. They weren't throwing you the ball. They didn't be wrong, brother.

They cursed you. You let me hang in, bro, last time, right? My bad. I'll chalk it up to my whiteness. I was like that So look Then I got on a basketball court I said I know they're gonna see me for show

This is inside This ain't no long Y'all on the field of nothing I ain't too far from you Football are you too far You took the left down I ain't gonna see you Yeah

But this basketball Now I'm like You my little drill past the ball I get out and now I'm like Yeah hey hey Don't you make a little no Hey yeah One too

So, man, I'm coming. It's his dude. He was from my neighborhood when I was coming up. He was like the weakest dude in the neighborhood. Super weak. All he can do is play basketball. So I would like the gangstest dude ever. I was so gangst ain't make no sense.

When he'd see me walk down the street, he'd get out my weight. So we're on the court. I'm coming out of court with a junk I thought he gonna get out of my way He got out of my way and smack my shit I said all right He's gonna play So he get the bomb

So I'm like boom I'm like I'm too tough I ain't gonna get out of his way So he come down to court I'm thinking he's gonna be nice to me Like cause I'm gangster But this is the court I ain't knowing that

Got in the graves and grabbed my gun I said, come over here. I said, come over in the body. It's your real bad. What do you say? No, he ain't come over there. I was big as hell. He didn't come in their graves, though.

You know, I'm greening their graves, man. Now, how'd you become the most gangster person in your neighborhood? Because, I mean, I come from there. Like, I did a lot of things coming up, you know. Things you can't talk about. Yeah, things I can't talk about. Well, I don't want you to get in trouble. I ain't going to get in no trouble.

I ain't going to get in no trouble. But circumstantially, these are things that you. you had to do to survive or you made really bad decisions you wish you. No, I had to survive and then once I survived it, I just got a hang of their life and I just kept going at it. That's why I smiled so much. Like, how are you able to look at me on Instagram? Yeah.

I'm like that. I'm really gangster. You never notice like people don't play with me? Talk to, yeah, talk to me about this. What do you mean? Because it's like it's like a lot of people, they, uh, mic, let's mic up a little bit. It was a lot of people is kind of like, they, they, um, they got to have a mean face all day.

Yes. Or just a super, I'm trying to scare you look. Yes. Me, I don't have to have it. I'm a real gangster. I grew up where it's like, the gangsters play football with the kids, laugh, dance, hit the cha-cha, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

Hey, baby. You know, you live your life. So it's like, when you, when I was like, damn, if I'm so gang, I'm like, if I switch it up with me being where I am, if I switch up and start being happy and smile and more, they'll give me farther than anything. So I'm like, hey, yes, I'd rather be happy. Like, couldn't nobody like, like, I'd have been got tried. if I wouldn't live in like this real.

Like, somebody would have been trying to have me. You weren't, you weren't concerned that, like, having this fun exterior would, would remove some of the, like, fear that being gangster induces. No. Never. Not, never. Because you seem to me so approachable, you know, just kind of, like, like, I asked you for a picture.

You were so cool about it, you know? The thing is, you're not a gangster. Ah. So you, so. What gave that away? So, if you was a gangster. You're the automated notice. He's a gangster.

He do this. He'll do this. Can you, now you know that from, like, word of mouth or there's a way to look at you and tell? It's telling like you got real geishers to vouch for it.

You got some people that sing something they don't ask. You got some people, you know, they call. They make them call. You know what I'm saying? Wud-a-W-W-W-W. I definitely know what you're saying. Come through with the woodywoop. I understood all that.

And those are the only people you really are concerned with their opinion because those are the people that are going to try you. A soft dude is not going to try you. So you can. be happy with the soft guys.

The, the, well, I don't know much more. But real talk. Like, after that barbecue, right? How are you not too exhausted to kill? It's kind of like my, like, these kids, they come, they grew up. And it's like, for example, when I was coming up. Yeah. I didn't say when I was coming up, I'm going to say something.

Super Gansom. I didn't say what I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I didn't do it. Yeah, yeah. I didn't do it. Allegedly. Yeah.

I didn't do it. Yeah. So these kids coming up now. Let's say like they might, they uncle might got killed by this side of town over here. So it's like, so it's like, Shakespeare almost.

It's like this family, this family. How do you stop that? You can't stop that. So that's just something that will exist forever. People have babies just so they can grow up to take the other side out. Like it's like, huh?

Yeah, like, yeah, like, in the hood. All yeah. But how would you stop it? Let's say you're Reverend Black. Right. Let's say you want to end the violence. Right.

What would be your suggestion? I'm not ending this shit. I want squash beef. If you beefing with somebody To be with their person for life Really? One day they're gonna take you out It never stops

Man look if you lose On a loss Nah you can't Want somebody to die It's over with When blood get the shit It's over with Really

Rock you sleep Oh So they're like y'all Yeah They steal this shit in the back of the head Whin'clock like a baby Wow See it with me

One Dude, you got so many good hits, though. I really think... I need some credit on this, dude. I need that writing credit. I need that Beyonce writing credit. No, it's crazy in Memphis, though, bro. Really?

I wish I can help more. Like, right now I'm a spokesperson for juvenile court. Okay. So I go help all the kids that got, like, pistol charges and stuff, gun charges or whatever. So of them things. And I try to help them out, like, getting out of jail, get jobs and talk to them, keep him out of trouble.

Like, I have to go speak, like, four times after year. Was it weird making money? you legit for the first time in your life? Yeah, it was super weird. I still was trying to have it like I was just doing something illegal. Yeah. Like, for example, I got to pay $2,500 for my first little show. Now, I got five, I'm tripping.

I got $5,000. Then I took the money. They put in my account. Put the money in my account. So I'm like, damn, man, I got $2,500 just sitting in the account. That's how I'm looking at it. I'm like, what the fuck? Before I say something.

They might come give me. Look, I went to the bank. I said, I want to get some money out. how much? I said, how much is winning her? She said, uh, sir, $2,500. I said, I want $2,500. Look, she said, what are you going to do with it? I said, I don't know. They said, if it's in the bank,

the IRS going to get it. She said, sir, they still going to get it because it came to the bank. You're like, all right, fucking leave it. But I pay taxes, though. I pay taxes, though. It was just the beginning when I first came in. Is that another tough thing also? It's like you're dealing with all your money. I even feel like this when I first started making money.

You have to rely on certain people to look after your money. No me? So you look after every penny of your money. Every penny, bro, I don't play. Because I have to pay them. I have to pay the R.A. It's like, like, I'm going to pay them. But you don't have a business manager or nothing like that?

Yeah, I got all of it. But I still look at mine. What do they say when they see your Instagram? And they see 50,000 just on a gas station floor? Because when you see me with cash, I go to the bank and get the cash. See, now I go to the bank. And I just go short and I put it back in the bank. I don't just have no $2 million laying around me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to the bank. I said, I want $2 million. They said, come in Thursday. I said, okay, came in Thursday. Yeah. Yes, I came in Thursday. I came in Thursday.

They gave me to me. I did my video. Went right back to the bank. They were for clothes. I said, I'm with the dope knocking. I've got some money. Yeah, I'm like, I open my fucking door. They let me in, I give them the money back.

I'm like, huh, put it back in my account. Why use real money? Why not use the fake money? No, man, I can't do it. Because you have it, right? Like, people who wear like a fake chain or have like a fake car, fake sneakers or something like that, right? Like, if they can't afford it, it's fake.

But if they can, like if Bill Gates wears a pair of fake sneakers, it don't make any difference, and he could buy it up Nike if he wants to. You kind of got a point. But we're not going to drive their car. Huh? I don't want to be in your car. I want to kiss a taxi. You drive a lot.

You won't be in someone else's car. You don't even know? You know me. We sung happy birthday. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, man, but you forced me to be like this. You're talking about fake clothes and shoes. But you hear what I'm saying?

Like, if you got the money, fake isn't important. I get your point. But the thing is, man, if you can't afford this, you don't put it on because you still get, you, you make it like me. I can't wear anything fake because if I put some fake on, I'm encouraging my fans to go about this shit. For real, for real. So they're encouraging them to buy the fake shit. They encourage them about a real thing. So I can't even give them advice on, hey, nah, this ain't real.

I'm going to get that. Like, if I go pay $50 for a Gucci jacket, then one of my fans, they see me with an on. They're going to automatically because I'm rich. They're going to think, you pay $10,000 for their Gucci jacket. So get what they're going to do? Go spend $10,000 for a Gucci jacket. I don't want to see people go broke.

So you feel like a responsibility. Yeah, so I have to wear real things. Like, how I have this on? I got afford a thing. Like, I'm to the point where I don't even wear a super high stuff all the time. And when I do worry, I don't broadcast it because somebody I can't afford it. Because now you have fucking money, dude. that's the difference.

Like rich people that are really rich, they don't have a flex. Think about the richest people, dude. Real talk. Warren Buffett drives a Honda. They don't never flex. They don't never flex. But guess what?

This because they came at the womb rich. No, there are guys that made it from nothing, right? Yeah. And I'm sure they flexed on the way up. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure on the way up they flex. But then when they got real money

and then they realized, I don't got to impress these broke motherfuckers. That's what I made now. Like, I'm at this one of the, I just like throwing cash, bro. Yeah. It was a point. Like, I fucked off.

Literally probably like 400 grand. One year just going to the strip club because I want to see myself throw money on the camera. You spent $400,000. One year. At the strip club. And I still had to pay taxes on it. I couldn't even write the horrors off.

For real. Wait a minute. That's a legit business. I know. Why can't use that as an expense? It's entertainment. It's like you're going to a show. You're getting inspiration.

You're listening to music. I got to talk to your accountant. You can write that off. Look, the thing is, well, take me out. The thing is. You only can write it off. Let's say, for example, if I hired them to, like, extra do something for me, like, when you throw them in the strip club, they can't count or what you do.

You can say, I do this right here. We don't know that. It's kind of like I... Unless you get the money from the strip club. No, the thing is, you got to get it from the bank and order for them to know. You can't go to the strip club in the Chinese. So now when I go to the script club, I order my one from the bank, so I can use as a write-off, and I let them know what I'm about to do with it.

Oh, you're sharp. Yeah. You know what you fucking writing off. Yeah. I can do it's just then I'm getting it from a club And you have You're watching your money

Completely you don't If anybody else looking after it No no no I'm doing it Wow Yeah It doesn't intimidate you You're not like No I'm smart

I'm very intent of you Yeah I am financially illiterate So basically what I'm trying to tell you I do everything with the bank now When I want to go to strip clubs They have to order my ones Yeah

Really one bank I work Like right now if I want If I need ones I call My banker My accountant I need this minute a wand

go to the bank, get it, they'll ship it in the mill if they have to. Really? I just ship warrants in the mill before, but I shipped like 50,000 dollar river for ones in the mill. Now, how different is the way that you get treated at your bank now from the first time you walked in?

When I first was going in, they'd be like, now when I go in, they'd be like, so it's a big difference. And do you allow people to change or do you, like, resent the fact that they're treating you different? Like, what have you learned about people from being wealthy

in the way they treat you? They treat you based off how successful you are. I feel like, I don't know, but me, I'm a real person. Like, you can't treat me no different than you, and learn than you treat me now. Yeah. So the majority of people out of me, they kind of treat me the same way, like how I expect them to be treated.

I don't really get that super special. I'm, first of all, I'm, underrated, as you say, underrated. Underrated. Yeah, underrated. So they're being saying, they automatically going to look over me. So when they see me, they're going to be a little more humble to me in a way, on them because they don't look at me like

I'm on a drink level or, you know, like you feel what I'm saying? Or Kanye level or something. So I'm down there going to get a better understanding, a better conversation out of person quicker than a Kanye or get out of person. Yeah, you're not you're not intimidating.

Isn't that weird? Like, you're not intimidating and you come from a world where being intimidating is the most important asset. Yes. That is what's most important. fascinating to me how you learn and transition in that. Most people cannot

get out of their own fucking way. I see this with boxers. I see this with athletes and I see this with musicians across all spheres. Like, you see rock musicians that get famous blow up and then they turn into these divas. You heard it in like the 80s and 90s where like Guns and Roses, Axel Rowe's, wouldn't show up

to a fucking concert for four hours. Sometimes he wouldn't pull up. And it's like how do you you might really be, you might really believe your gangster. Like, you know what you're saying where you believe it inside, so you don't need to prove it? Right. I think that extends outside of intimidation. Right. I think the people who really know themselves don't feel in need to prove themselves. This is why I was trying to

tell you. So guess what? I wish I listened. Now, use a gangster. Watch out, bro. What's out, fellas. We out. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to everybody in here. Holy shit! Where the candle's at. Wow, okay. No, they're for real though, bro, like, my head of rough coming up. I'm just glad to be here, bro. I'm glad to be here doing an interview with you.

Like, this shit amazing, bro. I feel good. I smoke some weed this morning. I'm kind of sick, but it's okay. Do you ever get, like, do you ever get down or are there, like, disappointing things? Correct. And how do you handle those? How do you handle that?

How do you bounce back from your... disappointments or maybe a song didn't go the way you wanted to go or an interaction or a business thing didn't go the way you want to go. Do you dwell in that or can you bring yourself back up? No, I just keep pushing for the most part. I have a family. Like, you know, I got kids and stuff and I got moms

and she depends on me. I lost two brothers. So I know at the end of the day, like, no matter what I go through, I already go through it and let them go through it. But I already kill myself or be dead before I see them go through that. Really? Yeah, like I can't allow it to happen. What happened to your brothers?

They got shot. Oh, street stuff. Yeah. Street stuff. Really? I don't want to talk about it. We don't have to. Yeah.

Appreciate you. Yeah. So for the most part, it's kind of like, man, I know at the end of the day, my mama waiting on me. Like, you know what I'm saying? She waited on me to get home. She waited on me to come.

Right, right, right, right. Before I go to my house, I got to go to my mom's house. I'm home. Then I go home. When... So she can go to sleep. You feel me? 100%.

When these good things start happening, and you come from a place where it seems like so many bad things have happened, do you start going? like, is someone looking out for me? Like, do you get religious in that moment? I don't really get word, bro. Like, I get more of like, fuck it, about it. No, all the good shit that's happened.

Like, I know that, you said, I said the good things. The good things. I'm thinking of my bad things. No, no, like, there are all these bad things that happen earlier in life, right? Right. All these crazy circumstances.

Now good things start to happen. Right, correct. Are you going like, is there a higher power? Like, I'm trying to understand, like, I've been really fortunate in my life. I had a great fucking family and parents. And we've all had our troubles. and shit like that.

Everybody had their things, but I have been fortunate. Right, okay. So, like, and I work my ass off and good things happen, but I'm able to chalk it up to, like, working my ass off

and that kind of stuff like that. You're in these situations, which are, like, really fucked up. Right. And then all of a sudden, you work your ass off and then good things start to happen. Correct.

Does part of you start to go, is this divine intervention? Is this, why me, why, of all the people surrounding it? Am I the one that gets to, Like, how do you process going from such a low place to such a high place in such a short period time? I think for me, it's easy for me because I always been rich. Like, what I mean by it is I always been rich in my head when I was broke.

When I ain't have shit, like, for example, like when I was in the hood, stroking and going through it. In my head, I was a big rapper. I was rich. Every time I went to sleep, I dreamed of this shit. So I never dreamed or face my reality in my dreams. Like, just because I'm going through this shit while I'm up. When I'm knocked out, I'm dreaming about some more shit.

So you always knew. Yeah, so I always felt like, I'm rich as hell. They got me fucked up. I'm coming. I'm still on niggas. Nick, as soon as I get there. That's what I've been doing. When you would walk through the airport

before you were famous, did you imagine what it would be like? I already knew. I knew. I swear to the guy, I ain't even lying. Like, bro, I just, I'm going to tell what did it make me mad because, like, people didn't believe me. And they were looking at me like,

I tell them I'm going to do something. I'm doing this. and they don't go through for me. Like, I'll probably just tell them my dream. I'm gonna do this right here. I'm for to do that right there. Yeah. If I did do this because somebody promised me some.

Yeah. Then they don't go through for me. They let me down. Now everybody look at me like, oh, you're just lying, bro. You're just lying. So it's like, I want lying, bro. My dream just didn't come true.

So a lot of times, like, y' got to be careful out there when y'all telling, like, kids, like, they line about shit all the time. Yeah, or don't dream. Because you make them feel even bad about the shit not coming true. So, like, now when people tell me something

and it'll happen. Hey, my don't forget a record deal tomorrow. This right here, this right there. Oh, for real? It was a sudden. He's coming to me tomorrow. He ain't, ain't, I didn't get the deal. I ain't even say, bro, you lying.

I'm like, damn, bro. I'm sorry for I hear that, bro. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, for example, like, people be mine, they shake the word fucked up, man. I know exactly who put dreaming in my head. I know when it happened and how it happened in my life. Who put the idea that you can dream in your head?

Some people get that squashed on a dead. daily basis. Don't be too big. Don't try to ask for too much. Who put that in your head? Honestly, to be honest, me, bro, like, all my problems I had and I went through in life, I had to get myself out on and I put myself in them. So, like,

I was like, my mom were like my dad and my grandma, she was like my mama. So with that being said, I still had other brothers, I had three other brothers that I had to take her up, and I was like, they daddy. You know what I'm saying? Or God Dad or Soda, whatever you put. So it's kind of like, I couldn't really, I couldn't really,

wait around. I was always nos when I was little because I needed to know certain things. Not that I want to know I didn't want to know how to smoke.

I had to know how to smoke because I know it was important to know like I got brothers like I made sure they don't do this shit and I want to know what's their fit cars

when you smoke and really don't do nothing to you. But what I'm saying is it's certain shit like words I had to learn like shit I had to learn earlier because

I ain't want them to be doing the wrong thing so if I don't know nothing I don't know no things so let me go get around out of your people learn all this grown shit

because I'm actually taking care of my brother of them. I'm actually here for them. I'm actually out of making sure they eat tonight. Let me see how long. I'm looking at the problem. I'm going to Bush in, bro. I was there for my brothers.

I was a father coming up, bro. I've been a father all my life. What is you think you took? I taught myself how to dream. That's basically the point I'm trying to get to. I taught myself, you know, by I teach me shit. I ain't have no daddy. I had my mom and my grandma and that's it.

And I hid everything from them. So I never told them what I was doing. Never. Yeah, nah. They knew private. but I ain't never tell them, but throw out here shit, so I couldn't go to certain people

for a certain advice, bro, because they wouldn't like I was. You know what I'm saying? Like, they weren't living like me. I would live in a whole other way. They live in this way, and I was living this way. And you could just stomach those things.

Like, there was never a time you just need to, like, vent to a friend or a girl or something like that. You would just, and you would take all of it to yourself. I ain't gonna lie, vent, plenty of time, bro. When I vent, I just caught my mom,

and let them tears go. Well, put up on her cry. I put up on her cry. cry with her, you know what I'm saying? So, like, this coming up, like, when I was coming up, she went going right for me, bro, like, I put up on my mama, can cry about it. She's like, you know what I'm saying?

She keeps going, just don't worry about it. It's okay. And I just do my time. But I ain't, I'm keeping the hunting, bro. I'm straight. I'm a Herman Bain, bro, like, no laugh. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Like, it's like, bro, like, when me is kind of like, bro, like, I know what I'm going to do, 10 years from now and 20 years from now, 30 years from now, my life, I already planned out. I already plan my life out. I got this shit wrote down. Come on, man.

You know, real rapper coming here like this. Nobody. Yeah, I got child nose. I got my notes. Yeah, yeah. People, they make you feel like you got to know this shit off the top of your head. I don't know this shit. No, I just write it down.

Lil, can you please write this down for me? Thank you, darling. I'm gone in it now. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, whatever, Jew, whoever, anybody on my team. Get this shit wrote down, we're going, we're going at it. Ten years from now.

Where are you? Oh, I'm going to be really super, super, super, super successful. I'm trying to get that billion dollar. You want to be a billionaire. You want to be a billionaire. Yeah, Jay Z, he worth a billion. So why I can't be worth a billion? What is it?

I've always been curious about being a billionaire and why we put that as like a, as like a goal, right? Because for me, like a billion dollars is kind of like a, you know, in basketball, a triple double. Right. It's like, it's an even thing,

but it's really no better than another statistic that's close. Like, let's say you average 30 points a game, 10 rebounds, 9 assists. What? Is that that much worse than averaging 30, 10, and 10? I don't read no much about what you should say. Fair enough.

I was talking about gangs or shit. But you know what I'm saying? Like if you want to be a billionaire, you could transfer all your money right now into some like Asian currency that's worth nothing and now you're a billionaire and that? Damn. So what I'm saying...

You already a billionaire. Yeah, I see what you're saying. So basically what I'm saying is like to be honest, I'm going to go hard all the way to I turn. 50. I think when I turn 50, I'm gonna go back to it. I never got a chance to be a kid, bro. I want to be a kid again. So you're gonna Benjamin Butt in the game. Yeah, man. I'm gonna go. I'm 50. I'm gonna go for what's going on? I got, I got shit investments and shit. Right. I'm gonna forever get paid off that. My kids and their kids, everybody. But

far as me trying to like, it's go super hard, hurt my back. No, sir. So 50, you out? 50. I'm living my life. And where do you go? You travel? I'm sure I'm set up to me. I need to be a billion number before. I turn 50 so I can spend a hundred million, you know what I say, on some bullshit, and it ain't gonna hurt me. Yeah. Yeah, I still wanna ride boats and run a,

I want to ride the boat. You know what I'm saying? I'm just being a hundred. Yeah. Yeah, so, this my goal. Dude, I appreciate you so much for coming in, man. I appreciate you for having me, bro. I think I'm more fascinated now that I've met you in person,

but it's one of these things that, it happens over and over again. Like, when I see people, especially on social media, having consistent success, not one video that pops, Consistent success. Right. I never underestimate how much they understand the feel that they're in.

And whenever I meet them, it's always confirmed that they know exactly what they're doing. Right. So it's cool to see. It was great to meet you, man. I really appreciate you doing this. Thank you so much, man. For sure. Thanks a lot for coming in, guys.
