Summary

The Lox discuss their authentic approach to hip-hop, the evolution of the music industry under streaming economics, and the challenges facing modern artists. The conversation covers catalog ownership, IP protection, artist development decline, and the shift from album-driven to single-driven markets.

Insights
  • Streaming economics have fundamentally devalued music: 1500 streams equals one radio spin, making per-stream payouts negligible compared to physical sales era
  • Artist development has collapsed due to instant monetization of new talent without label infrastructure support, leading to short careers and one-hit wonders
  • Authenticity and geographic pride remain powerful differentiators in hip-hop; The Lox's Yonkers identity became globally recognized because they never compromised their origin story
  • Tech companies (Meta, Google, Amazon) are now the true gatekeepers of music distribution, not traditional music industry players, yet they have no cultural investment
  • Intellectual property ownership and trademark protection are becoming critical business assets as corporate entities increasingly attempt to appropriate artist names and likenesses
Trends
Resurgence of physical media (CDs, DVDs, vinyl) as collectors and preppers stockpile content amid streaming platform uncertaintyDirect-to-fan engagement models replacing traditional label infrastructure; artists building apps and websites for merch, community, and revenuePrivate listening sessions and exclusive experiences becoming premium revenue streams as fans seek authentic, unmediated artist accessStreet teams and grassroots marketing returning as effective alternatives to algorithmic promotionCatalog ownership and IP protection becoming primary business focus for artists and legacy actsShorter song formats (2-3 minutes) optimized for streaming replay algorithms rather than artistic expressionCommunity-based events and merchandise bundling replacing traditional concert economicsArtist-to-fan apps (like G Herbo's model) enabling direct monetization of fanbase without platform intermediaries

We gotta start this off by saying this man, from the rip, I'm gonna tell my 21 guns to the locks man. Everything that y'all did coming out of Yonkers being y'all, I'm talking about extremely authentic. I'm saying y'all were so digestible, it was straight to the point. Y'all had nanosecond messaging that hit the hood and it went from the hood to hitting, you know, the suburbs, everybody, it was so relatable about this is who I am, this is where I'm from, this is my struggle. I ain't changing it. If you fuck with me, you do if you don't, so be it. But I'm gonna be me. Y'all brung something that we never seen before and y'all represented. Y'all, you know, CC, it's nothing like being able to take your town and make it globally known in the world knowing. That's different. See a lot of people, they're living the talent, they'll say, oh, I'm from outside New York, but I'm from Brooklyn. Oh, I'm from outside Queens, but I'm from outside Philadelphia. No, I'm from Yonkers. That's it. This is where I'm from. I ain't ever in Yonkers to the Yonkers. A lot of people, you just probably, you know, in Mount Vernon, New York, Mount Vernon, New York, probably, shit like that, right? Like that. But that was so hard to be able to say, I'm establishing our flag and I'm waving it because I'm proud of where I come from. A lot of y'all, a lot of people as today, we need to start adapting to that mindset to say, no, I know everybody on that, but I'm on this. It's cool. It's cool to be on your own thing, but I just, I'm thankful that you brothers came down. I'm thankful for everything y'all did. Eric and Jeff, man, y'all some real brothers too. Y'all always doing your thing. Every time I connected with y'all, it was all genuine love. So, you know, everything's everything y'all doing with is the real and just keep being y'all. But man, let me just tell this story back in the day, right? He come to my house. Oh, yeah. He got this tape. Yes, sir. Right? Yes. It's the locks on there. There's a storm. Yes. I think Mace was on there too, right? Yeah, bad boy. Bad boy. All is on there. What you going to do all that shit? This pussy wanted to be the fourth member of the locks, man. And break the loose buck. Yeah, I mean, if you could have been the fourth member of the locks, he would have left me. Yeah, I mean, he's all that major figure shit. Just me and cut. If they would have gave that nigga a call and said, you the fourth one. He was a he was a lock this nigga. You hear me? I never heard nothing like that though, because you didn't. We never heard nothing like that at that time. CC. I had never heard nothing like that even because I wasn't no rapper. I was trying to go to the league. I wasn't it wasn't the point. The point is the process of some raps and shit and bam. No, you didn't know you didn't know what I heard that shit. I knew the niggas was different. I was like, damn, yeah, he wasn't talking like that. And the production and the way they was riding it in the way CC. My whole thing is I always looked at artists as they were storytellers and they was documentarians of what was going on in the environment and they would break it down, but you could visualize it and the beats was just so different. Everything was so different. You got Mason, they're talking his slick shit, they talking a shit, X talking his shit. It was just a it was just a it was like a gumbo. It was like a gumbo, a bunch of different flavors and it was like, damn, what? Because you know, I'm you know, I'm in a tape store a week. Still I'm like, yeah, I'm taking the tapes. I just still the tapes, but I'm in it taking them. I had to take them. I ain't going to find I take a batch of tapes out of strawberries, a towel back in the day, the blank ones and I still a mixtape and I double absolutely only two jobs. Yeah, that a double speed. And I slamming the tapes right. So you was making money off them niggas. They didn't count it because it was a mixtape. It wasn't like it was going to the publishing royalty. So that shit ain't matter. So at this time, y'all just imagine hearing them for the first time. It's different. See, see, see, when I be talking to the young, you know, I always always I got a I got a playlist of like, it's like 50 albums and I always send it to young boys. They be like, what is this and 50 movies? Maybe I was like, no, you had to be there. You understand this. Like I just I sent some in December the other day, Kara's one and some gangsta shit. He was like, what the fuck? I got to use this. It was just the time when y'all came and what y'all said and what y'all did. It was like, these motherfuckers ain't playing. Telling you, man. And it's like the moment is reconnected. That's why every time somebody see you that's at a certain age, they snapped the fuck out because it's like, yo, because now you connect me when I you connected to do when he was dealing with fat buck Keisha and the boy Mikey Soctin, but he went back to Korea, listen to your tape. You know what I mean? No, that's real. Because I got telling you, you could get soft back in the day and it was cool because it wasn't on cameras. I got socket a couple times. But it was cool. If I didn't really report it to the people that would have been there. No, no, I didn't. But it was cool. That was a couple, but nobody. It was one of that was one of the only times that a family member ever got punched and I didn't jump in. Because you was you was scared of him because he hit you so hard. It's like a 22. He was different. He rolled up under the car like he worked at Jiffy. All protection. Just think about how many motherfuckers would not die in the hood if it wasn't for the cameras. You only died because of the camera. You only died because of the repost. If nobody see it, motherfuckers are like, and now he's like, Dan, he did it to you. What? That nigga got to die now. Muffler grabbed the gun. Yeah. But if not, dude, he'd just be chilling in Korea. But it ain't even that deep, man. It ain't about nothing. That's some real shit. I'm just being real. Like in our hood, you only died because it was on tape and the ego was the king in the hood. The ego in the hood is king. You know how many times you got to like, like, like, like, it's different now because y'all, we're in a different time and dudes is grown. But the disrespect, y'all, it never was no disrespect because you would just hear about somebody, you would hear about somebody get stomped out at the back of a show. Nobody disrespected artists. Nobody just, you know what I mean? We wasn't in that time where you could disrespect somebody. Like, and it was like, not, it ain't just about you. What's name, we have more morals and principles. And it was like, I don't know if y'all noticed, because I want y'all to pick on top of this, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all viewing this. The artist was the journalist of our community. They showed us something that we never seen, rather it's through the videos, rather it's through the musics, rather you going to Morgan State, rather you on the block in Chester, Pennsylvania, rather you in Pittsburgh, rather you in Cincinnati, just on the block, which you know, you remember they had the college hoodies and the black college was a cross color on major damage, your bow, whatever. Like this, listen to it like, damn, I love, we had a personal love for y'all, because y'all was our brothers, our cousins, our uncles, whatever it may be. What did y'all ever think you would see the time where to be attacked on hip hop so much from different, from a corporate level, from an underground level, from a person opposed to be media level. Did y'all ever think you would see the attack on hip hop like this, the way it is now? I never thought I would not. I know it was coming, but I ain't think I would not understand that shit. To this day, I don't know what that streaming shit is. Like you don't have the house, you know, the true effect of that shit. It's no real official book. There's no on that shit. Nobody, anybody sitting down and asking about that shit is going to be started and then say, what it exactly means and how do you know it's been you and shit. No, that was the most intense one. They switched it to 1500 streams, one spin on the radio. Exactly. You seem to know cassette tapes in the vinyl shit disappearing, but that was different. Damn. Who beside door for her? When did they have to mom and pop stores left no matter when they had a meeting on that word? No, this would kill me. I was in prison. I'm looking at a wire magazine. This is when they first said, and this is what's still bothering me. They said there's going to be 99 cents a song. I'm like, damn, that's a come up. Because it's like, you remember it's, yeah, 17 songs, $17, $20. I'm like, yo, they going to smoke shit, right? I'm still, and I was talking to this, uh, this lawyer about entertainment. I said, I don't make no sense to me. It ain't like I got music out there, but how are you going to tell me my song is worth 99 cents? Then my song go from 99 cents to it really not being nothing because how I could pay $9 or $10 a month, it had access to a zillion, so to every song that ever was created in the history of life. I might, I might be from a small town in America, don't listen to locks. But why is your catalog available to me? Just to be available for my $9. So how I go from a dollar for your song to listen to, so if I listen to 10 songs, that's $10. But I might have you on repeat. So I might listen to your song. If I buy them, I'm cool to listen to it at many times. But I don't have to buy your shit no more. So your music is really worth 0,000.3 and some shit like that. The music industry is no longer just the music industry. Technology has a lot to do with the music industry. If you don't have your phone, you don't have the music right now. So is it really the music industry? Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. Everything's all embedded in one. Like, you really like, like you just say, how is everybody, if you could subscribe to something and pay $14 a month, and you could get every song in the world, somebody's getting fucked over. A lot of people are getting fucked over. Mainly the artists. And mainly the artists. And that's what it really is, because it's not really just music. It's everything else is entwined on your phone. So you got your music, then you got IG, then you got your fucking AI, then you got your email, then you got this and that. So everything is basically, it's really not just the music industry. That's why it is not really A&Rs no more. That's why it is not really artists who are the young artists. They ain't really being developed. That's why there's a lot of one and done. Is it Michael? No artist development. None of that. No artist development whatsoever. So now you got a kid coming off the street. Nobody's showing them really how to develop as an artist. He's making them crazy money right away. So they just throw him in a fire. Now he's not. Now he didn't even go. You got to think he just went from fucking having a few bucks in his pocket with a pack of I am a to now he got an M or European, a car, entourage with him. And there's nobody from the corporate side that actually really gives a fuck about him. That's going to lead him with that motherfucker. He's done and he's just done. So he has to learn on his own through trials and tribulations to say not paying taxes. Yeah, he got to figure out and he got to be smart. But it all got something to do with each other, right? Because we don't live in a time now where albums are made anymore. It is a single driven market. So people aren't getting those $18, $20 anymore. They're just getting 99 cents, right? So A&Rs aren't there working on a full project. Those artists who are the journalists showing their side of things from their first person perspective. That whole story doesn't exist anymore. You get one shot, you put it out there. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't or more times it doesn't. That's it. Then you're out. The attention span is over too. They don't got no attention span. Exactly. That's why music is not even the same. So if you want a successful say if you want to you speak on the stream and now this is where everything it fucks up with the culture. If you want a successful album, you really want it under 35 minutes for replay replay value so they can replay it and replay it. But now if you're making a whole album under 35 minutes, that means there's no longer third versus. That's why a lot of people don't have third versus no more. Now we're wearing hoops. You used to want to go last song. You used to want to go last. You used to want to rewind. So now you're making a song, you're trying to clock the song and you're trying to come in and the two minutes and 32 seconds, 235, three minutes is too long for a song. Years ago you fucking sat there. 30 was the minimum. Now it's 120. Yeah, now it's shorter and shorter. So now we're from 24s to 16s to 12s to 80s. I was riding before. Temptationship was 12 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. I made it from all the way to Yonkers. That shit was still on. That nigga had a whole motherfucker five minutes but he just... What? And the music playing there. It was only on the bass. Right. You wouldn't want to listen to it. You wouldn't want to listen to it. Yeah. The ladybell was crazy. I saw you out last night. You know you wasn't right. Yeah. I saw you leaving out the bar with that nigga. I miss you. I miss you, baby. Yeah. 15 minutes. Come back home. Yeah, man. 10 minutes, 7 minutes. I'm playing it all week real though. A lot of the old heads back in the day, they was some bitch ass niggas. Man, all them crying songs. All the bitches was getting out on them niggas. They coming home. Here you go. I see you coming to house three in the morning. He was with that tall guy. He had a Cadillac. I still love you, baby. Just give me one more chance. Oh, man. Damn, man. She just got... They just started crying. They just didn't fucking do that. They just got out. It's still big for a guy. Yeah. Yeah. Who just fucked the car parade off? Yeah. But that shit's old. Yeah, that... If you notice, even in the 90s, all the music with dudes was vulnerable and they cried to the women. It went... All right, that's the classics. It never was like... But the music, you know what I'm saying? Music is different. But like... But when you go back to saying about the business side of it, the tech side of it, I got to give a shout out to G Herbo. Because I was like, damn, how did you come up... Because we had a conversation and I was like, how do you get this song to pop? So Mickey, his manager was like, Wala, we got an app. I said, what you mean? You got like 300,000 people on the app. We test run on the app. We sell merch on the app. We do meet and greased through the app. So I'm like, what? I see the app. I download the app. John called... I forget this is called media something, right? Media something. My mom, media something. He assembled, joined, fed, set up the app. And he showed me the back end. I said, hold up, y'all got all those numbers and emails. So he's like, I keep leaking through the app and that's how the joint going legit. That's how I went. Before my bitch. It's how I went. So I'm like, okay, that's the... I'm thinking that's the way we're going to go back into... Because a lot of people, they sleep on the website or app. That shit is very important. Because you got to have a website just to sell your merch on Shopify. It might just have your domain on there. But you got to have that. And I think we going into the... We going into the air right now. And I'm going to say this. To all the artists out there, I sit back and I'm a vicious eye people. I'm a vicious trademark boy. Please trademark your names and your likenesses. Because it's coming the time when people will have your domain trademark. Your... I'm talking about rapper names. Ain't even trademark. Yeah, sure. And it's like, I'm like, how you been doing this this long? You ain't trademark? Because right now we're going through an IP war. This ready to be a vicious... A kidnapping of IP where people are going to just take your whole intellectual property, your name and your likeness. That's why you handed in with the NIL, but it always been here. And they going to be taking it. It can be able to do merch because they got the name trademark. And you don't. Even though you said that's your name, but whoever gets first to the United States patent trademark office. I guess Ray be real important. If you got a podcast, if you got Cove-a-Line, you better go take that little 1500, pay the lawyer, let them do it right. You can do it yourself also on legal Zoom, or you could do it on trademark here. You know what I mean? But like, you got to really figure that shit out. Like this shit is getting... Like, I don't think we understand it was Ray to happen with the IP. Like this is why catalogs are so important right now because as you see the Warner Brothers stuff and the Netflix and everybody talking, you ain't got to worry about that if you got a catalog and you own your IP. Especially in like, like everything you ever seen done with million dollars worth of game, every episode, anything, that's me and Gil. Two people. Why the fuck are you doing that? So what? So what? Anybody know your name? You should have. You was a ball player. Niggas know your name. Fuck wrong. Fuck out of there. Fuck my mother. Fuck out of there. Like this thing. Like, you know how Niggas... Hey, man, big lead. Niggas would know. You see that shit over here? Look at this. Fuck off. I'm not a ghillie, man. Niggas, niggas. You know what niggas do? This is what niggas do. Old niggas. They still be thinking they running from the cops. This nigga be having a relapse. Ain't nobody looking for you. No, man, hold up. Don't say my name. Niggas, shut up. Get the police ain't coming. Let's just... What I'm saying is, we own our intellectual property. Every episode you ever see, this... We own our shit. Absolutely. And I be trying to... And we try to... We always school people. I pull a lot of people to the side. You know, Kis, I give them a fucking call. Own your catalogs. It's two type of catalogs. We had a musical catalog, and now we got the visual catalog. That's the most important, your I.P. of understanding that when you grab that camera, as soon as you grab that camera, your story is important. We still watching the Jefferson's, Sanford Sun.

So Jeff and I had a long running podcast out of our apartment on the upper west side of Manhattan, right? Everybody from Cardi B to Rick Ross, everyone sit down for two hours, talk from the beginning of their life to where they were that day, right? A linear podcast. We knew Kiss since 2012. We knew Styles. We didn't know Sheik. So when the time came for them to put out their first project with Rock Nation, their EP, Filt the America, they were like, we want to promote it with you guys. So they came up to the crib and we thought this is going to be the most average, easy, one to two discussion. And we didn't anticipate that Styles and Jada were both off of Edibles. Styles could handle his because he's a professional. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Jada was up. Jada fell asleep on the table. And was out. But he would wake up everyone. Yeah, he would wake up and he would start singing new addition songs. So he was like part of something. Yeah. Oh, he was fucked up. He was fucked up. Yeah. But while that's going on, Luch and P were having this discussion about movies. They saw we had the Big Lebowski up on a shelf. They started talking about that. Kiss would wake up and be like, hear their thoughts on the color purple. So all of a sudden the conversation is going here, there and everywhere. And I was like, whatever this is, you guys need to have a podcast. And P was just like, no, we need to have one. And we're going to call it two Jews and two black dudes review the movies. Three black dudes. Yeah. Well, turn into three. It turned into three like eight years later when Jada woke up. Damn, Jada, damn, you're saying that. What the fuck were you getting up joint? You better brand them, put your name on them joints. Yeah, yeah. The metal bullshit. But you know what it is? These guys are authentic from the jump, right? They split everything in thirds. Jeff and I are actual blood brothers. Our whole career over 18 years, everything that we've done, honestly, our whole lives, split into half. We do everything authentically, genuinely in our voice. So by the time that we got together, P brings up that idea and Jeff is like, why don't we go up to Yonkers and bring some mics and a mixer and actually do this thing and talk about Netflix recommendations. That should just like took off. And now here we are eight years later with a regular schedule talking about Rambo, talking about sinners, talking about weapons. You've got mail. Yeah, talking about Home Alone, all these things. But this isn't a show and it's not a podcast. It's a showcast. It's a showcast, right? Yo, so y'all talk about a lot of movies. I know two movies y'all never talked about. What's that? Cool Hand Luke. That's a great movie. Cool Hand Luke. That's a great fucking movie. More Better Blues. Another fucking great movie. The Legendary Jones. Cool Hand Luke. Absolutely. I don't know about More Better Blues. So that was good. Cool Hand Luke. That was a good one. Cool Hand Luke. Go ahead. Go ahead Luke. So what was y'all best movies of this year? The best? For me, Sinners, Leonardo DiCaprio's. One got a lot of that. That was my choice. That was my choice. Sinners and that for me were the two box office joints that I felt were good for the year. One movie from everybody that you only could watch for the rest of your life. From everybody by this table. One. Life. Damn. That's a hell of a joint. All the president's men. The Django. Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day. That's crazy. True Romance. That's fine. I got a thing. That's a good question for the rest of your life. Heat. Heat. Heat. Crazy. Can't do you know what I mean? But like when you see movies of the day and it's like some of them are going to be out of this world and some of them are going to be like it's like you're going to be so... Is y'all real critical to movies of the day based off of the great shit that you've already seen? Is y'all too critical sometimes? Yeah. Yeah. Me personally. I love Michael B. Jordan and I love the director but I did not like centers at all. Come on baby. What the hell? I was like, what the hell? I did not. What the hell? I'm just wondering what you did. Shout out to the people. I called him. I thought he was hot. He was hot. I mean, he watched this. This Jordan's amazing. I go to movies. He's like, no, he's super trash. He's a little girl. Same shit. Bro. He was on me about this shit. Bro. What's the name? Listen, I'm going to be honest. That's usually what you get from people. Either they love it or they like... No, that wasn't for me. I don't know. What was that shit? It was like a vampire musical. Word man. You know, I'm not no musical type dude. I don't want to go see nobody. They be in the middle of talking. You shouldn't have did that. And then... Lost in disguise. That was crazy. Sears from my heart. That's not my kind of shit. I'm a fucking country for old men type of motherfuckers. Like I'm like... Man, you're both bros crazy. I'm like, I'm not no musical type of dude. Unless it's like a fucking cartoon. And I'm sitting there with the grandkids and shit. I had to see MJ the musical. Me and my wife, I sat there. I'm like... But I had to do it. That's just his music though, right? Yeah. No, it was both. You know, they... Yeah, but the songs that you know. Yeah, that's what it was. MJ was cool. But I'm like that. I can't have you talking and then going to that shit. Right. Blowing my shit though. I was a lot. I went to see Denzel. What was Denzel on? Jake, Jake, hold on, bro. Wait. Yeah. He was on for a couple of shows. Yeah. Yeah. I was high as fuck. It was... I had the two of my ear and they was going, Shakespearean? Yeah. Why are you all fowling? You were like, come this too. The land is taking me away. I was like... Yeah, intermission? Intermission. Oh, she almost... Scott, you almost went to the sprinting, right? Did I? It was good though. I wasn't seeing Alicia Keys played though. Yeah, it was that. That was joint. That was good. What did you call out again? That joint was good. I wanted to see. That was kitchen. House, house, kitchen. House, kitchen. Yeah, he was all and then me and Gil was in it for the first time. He was crying and she was like... I wasn't crying. You just shit together, man. I'm like, this shit all and then. Fuck it, you talking about. Child of the Movie got tears in his eyes. He talked with Norley. She had been through a lot, man. Fuck you. You did 20 years in jail. Shut up, man. So, so, so, so, it's two people at this that I know of. Two people here at this table that have been the part of movies. And one movie that you shot, Jade, was me. That was a very important movie. And I think I spoke to you about it because you shot a short film years ago and now in short films is really where it's at. It was so, listen, I forget my main. I was in there, the white boy, the actor boy. It was a legendary actor. Right. What was it? Yeah, from Blue Street. Listen, this is my fucking no joke. The way y'all went in there, it was just, it was crazy, but it was short. It was straight to the point. It was shot by my man. Kid Art. Kid Art. When did you get back into more shorts? Like you stacked, what's up with some more shorts, bro? When you been getting your acting shit. My brother shot, we got one shot that we did that we're waiting to be released. Yeah, we got a few shirts. We got sure we shoot. We got a few shirts. Oh, bet. We got an IP, bro. Oh, that's why I'm, oh, I already know. We got an IP out of nowhere. I already know. I already know. Mad IP. I want to say when y'all see kids moving like this today, it ain't the edibles. This is the one. This is the mother, the mule kid. Oh, he got milk in there. He got kicked in the snuff. He got kicked in the snuff. What the hell? It's the mule kid. He got kicked in the snuff. All right, now I want to say this. So, so, so, so I'm in, I'm in the joint, right? And I'm in the yard of my man. Like, yo, man, Gil got a joint as a trailer because we get the cell phones in jail. They're like, yo, Gil, Nipsey got a joint together. I said, what? I'm in the joint. I'm like, this one Nipsey was like not even like. So how was it for you? You and Nipsey in prison shooting the movie. Y'all brothers don't know about it. How was it for you shooting the movie with Nip? You know, and seeing what Nip has became to the culture. Like, how was it for you shooting the films? You shot some. Well, you know, when I met Nip back, I think it was like 2009. You know what I mean? You, Nip was just different the way he talked, the way he expressed himself, the intelligence that he spoke with. You know what I'm saying? He was just different. You know what I mean? Even back then, a young Nip was you'd be having conversations on set. And he just was he had a different type of outlook on shit. You know what I mean? And he always felt like it was more out here than the gangbangers that he grew up in. You know what I mean? So, you know, I always respected that. You know what I mean? You know, Vink had put both of us in a movie. You know what I mean? He has seen some shit that offer YouTube. When I mean, Cassidy was going through something I want the Cassidy block and Vink seen that shit and called me. He had reached out to Black Child asked him, did he know me and Black Child like, yeah, I knew Gilly Black Child gave my number and then reached out to me and then he was like, this is over. Dude from the West Coast. I'm going to get he going. He ain't going to know your brothers, but he's going to play your brother. His name Nip. But at the time, Big U was managing him and big me and big you were solid. You know what I mean? So that was good. So I'm going to say this, man, to be back in the day when I first, when I first threw Gill in the studio, I was his manager in part. At the time, yeah, I was his manager. I seen him. Like I was telling beans, I said, you're going to be a star kid. Come on. I took him to the studio. Right. And I want to know this from y'all because y'all was a group. I always told Gill because I always, you know, this was early in my career because I started off 92 being a hype man. I went through the whole chain of all this rap shit and try to be a battle that I got cooked too many times. So you were a split star before split stars? No, a split for them was already, you know, I was a little mixed, a Vionics mixed with, you know, because they had the hype. They was hyping each other up too. But I was willing to. This was a niggle stage. Yeah, I was that boy. I was basically the boy that knew how to get around and know how to do something with music, some type of work. It's a background dancer, nigga. I think I DJ. I was a little bit of whatever, right? How the fuck you was a hype man with no mic? You still got hype going. See, the hype man back in the day, you ain't need nobody. The hype man was. It was definitely. It was good. It's the word he has. But that was the shit. You're not a big check out the old videos. I was there. I was loving it. So in a song, right? So so in a song, right? I just love to be a part of the coaches. So about time I rent you, I didn't ran through the gala. I was a manager. So I already knew I got one right here. I'm going to get him. I'm going to have him do the promo tour and the neighborhood at Black Party's getting paid. He ain't going to know. He's going to think it's, you know, the promo tour, join the man. Yeah, you're going on a promo tour. Everybody do it. Getting paid for you. You ain't know the Black Party's you did. You got to move 200 bars. I had you performing in an art show. Them little alleyways. I had you performing anywhere. Because he didn't know nothing about music. He was at Kyle's playing bar. So but listen, you know how people going there? I wonder with y'all, did y'all was y'all going inside of this in that booth? When it was y'all turning the laters, like, I'm going to kill these niggas. Absolutely. I'm going to kill. I'm going to kill styles. I'm going to kill. You tell them. Yes. Like I'm killing this song. I'm going to kill. I think we all got that mindset. Like yo, my head styles, I'm like, nah, fuck that. That's a fact. I got to go crazy. And we kiss, you know what I mean? Say something. That's the good thing we have in the group. Yeah. It push. It's best. That's like going on a ball court and going, yeah, you're a team, but it's like, hey, I want to cheat to win MVP tonight. No, I'm good with if he wins it. I'm good with I'm good with y'all. Liking either one of them better as an emcee versus career wise as whatever. But it's your job to get in there and do your best. That's what you're. That's what a real emcee is. Like now it is. It's too fucking buddy, buddy. Like stop being fucking buddy, buddy. If I'm there, I'll come to fucking destroy shit. So I got a question. I got a question for all three of y'all. Let's start with. Let's start with kiss. Kiss. Y'all recorded a song. The song. Then you listening to it. You like styles got the fuck out on me. Hey, we got a lot of shit. Fuck like that. What song was that? Can't give you one. Just give me one of where you came out and you was like, oh, God. He got out on me. You know, I can't say something. Yeah. Now, not on what song it was. You know, you reservoir. I mean, all kinds of shit. It's got busy with. But like, you know how that kind of happens to when say I come and I latest my first verse. Yeah. And I paint the foundation. Now they heard that shit. Yeah. Now you see what it's like. You drive home with that little fucking like, you know what I mean? That's a plane. You know, it's like, oh, damn, don't you? You know, I fucking start coming in tomorrow. I start beating this whole bitch. No, he also got a sneak. When he gets the first verse. A lot of times the song is done. Yeah. Know what I mean? You already crushed it. There's nothing to do with fucking Russell Simmons. Now I bless y'all. Thank you. I'll pick up. You know what I mean? So it's a lot of. It's a lot of shit with some. But that's the beautiful part of having two brothers. I mean, it's like two crutches. Some niggas go to studio with a bunch of yashmen and a bunch of niggas that don't know what the fuck is going on. And they got nothing to go. He come out of the booth and just said something crazy. That's like to fire. I want it. I mean, did that make him want to do it? Right. And our studio's together. So we easy walk over to that room. You know, we got three rooms. These other niggas is down to another state and shit like that. How do you know? Oh, yeah. Straight up. Yeah, right there. How do y'all? How was y'all able to? You know, we we didn't see some of the greatest groups, legends break up. How was y'all able to maintain your brotherhood so long, man? I love these niggas, man. It's not about money. Yeah, it's not. I don't got nothing to do with Brett. Like, you know what I mean? It should be the last thing. We up, we up, we down, we down, we up, we up, we up. If you get them proud of that shit, I'm excited for it. Yeah, we don't got no. Like, that's fire. What? There's no feelings and emotions over what money. I think people don't come in with an understanding of what brotherhood, what their brotherhood is more important than whatever you're going to get out of this. They print and burn money every day. Mm hmm. Materialistic shit you can't bring with you when you go. What's going to matter is what your name, your family, people thought of you. And to have people, you know, that's going to hold you down no matter what. Like it ain't about the money. Like kids say, like if if kids are losers, winning, I know that's a win for me. I consider it my win. It's not he didn't just win. I won. So it's like we we keep each other going. And I think that loyalty has to come from saying, fuck the game. And what other people are going to say, what people are going to do. This is this is this is us right here because it really is beyond rap. Like sometimes I forget that we're a group. Like not like that, but it's like I'm going to the library. They didn't see my brothers. I'm not going to see the locks. I'm not going to be with my group or go to the lab, show with my brothers. That's what we do. We make music. That's what we do. We go on the road. We're going to have fun. We laugh. We talk about movies. We watch it. It's no hating on each other's lives. We're there to make each other bigger, bigger, better, and keep bigging each other up to. You probably see each other more than any other group. Anyway, a lot of niggas live far apart. Like Lou said, in other states, they record in their own separate quarters and this and I mean, we see each other a lot of times a week. A lot of you're going family vacations. Yeah. We we really fuck with each other. We never made another song again. And I commend y'all for that because, you know, like just being honest, like to see me being an older motherfucker and see like, you know, Cam and Jimmy going through it, that should be like, damn, you know what I'm saying? Because it's like as as OGs, because we all OGs in this shit at this point. That's a definitely. I just feel like we shouldn't be able to exist when we had nothing. And when we was coming up and now we blessed, you know what I mean? Now we bless. We older where the bullshit really ain't supposed to mean nothing. It's all really supposed to be about your family and what you're doing in and trying to leave a legacy out here. You know what I mean? And so when I see the older guys who used to fuck with each other, going through it, and I just be like, damn, you know, and I just be really hoping that you could get it back together, you know, because you know, the love really, truly there. A lot of things I think we don't do either is we all support each other. But a lot of people got too much Simon in there. You listening to your man hate on your brother. And that's that's where you should G check that shit from one. Once a nigga be like, yo, yo, that nigga. So yeah, yo, get the fuck out of here. What you say when he said it from the jump and you definitely can't tell me that you can't approach me to talk about niggas feel you out to see how loyal you are to the court. Being lucky, you should be meet the new lucky one sweet tea from Miss Peaches, the vodka drink that's positively doing good made with real tea and real vodka non carbonated to 100 calories.

Pick up a lucky one sweet tea today and give back one can at a time. Oh, let's do some corny people and you got to be you better G check that shit from the jump. That's the that's the that's the best way because it should be like you say all of us are really too old and most of us have children or family. So you're a grandchildren or grandchildren. You're leading a bad example with saying, my nigga, you got a house, you got a home, you got a car, you got a roof over your head, you got food, you move. What the fuck is your maddening for? How do you even got the energy for that shit? Like you shouldn't you shouldn't even have the energy to be fucking madder than them. They find it. They find it. Yeah. They find that energy. How is where do you find this energy to be mad at this nigga for? Like what did he do to you? Right. You really mad at yourself, my nigga. Right. Go say that shit in the mirror. And at the end of the day, how do how do a nigga got that much influence on you to even give a fuck what niggas is talking about? Like I can't. I always look at it like this, bro. Like we sitting in the in the wells right now. I got my eagles truck in the background. This is just one of my toys. Like I'm I've been truly blessed to come from the ghetto, bro. A little ass apartment up Erie Avenue, man. To to be where I'm at in life. And I'm going to let your energy fuck with my I'm going to let you take that dark cloud you got over your fucking head and bring it in my sonny ass life. No, I ain't doing that. I'm good, bro. You know what I'm saying? And I just think that a lot of us that's made it out should be more respectful for to our blessings. You know what I mean? Sure. I must say this, man. And we got to be real mindful because the babies is watching us and they not listening to what we tell them. They listening to what we're doing and what they seeing and they got access to social media in a way that's different. They'll be sitting on the tablet. Yeah, that's you. You and they doing some dumb shit. And they you know, they they they they classmates watching all that. So we got to be mindful. Now I've been all around the world right in the nine years I've been home from prison. But I don't get no energy the way I get the energy. Soon as I come through that tunnel when I hit New York City, London, Paris, whatever. Like it's something about New York, right? And the energy Jeff and Eric, what is it? The food, like, you know, it was crazy. This is this is the craziest shit. And always, y'all know Sherry. I used to be with the rock. Me and Sherry, I always send a Sherry from New York. I used to send a Sherry from New York. I used to be with the rock. Me and Sherry, I always send a Sherry from the rock. I sent a stuff with me and I sent I always send to these videos. Because when I was in jail, I watched this documentary called Rats, right? And they had this dude called like this dude, like the biggest rat catcher in New York. Oh, under Penn Station. This shit was so crazy. It had me like, when I get out of jail, I'm never eating it. I don't want to eat nothing in New York. Just no bullshit, right? So listen, one of my favorite spots, right? I'm not even going to say the name, right? This is how you know I'm from the hood. One of my favorite spots in New York, I'm in Soho. And out of nowhere, I've seen a rat come out of the joint, just run down the street and I'm like, damn. You're the fucking spotter. No, I still went in the other day and got some food. Because it reconnected me to my childhood because we all know when we growing up, mom cooking, we seen mice and the critters. The food still was good. So I'm like, what is the chances of him really touching the food? He probably didn't touch it. He probably was just traveling through. But I see that, no, straight up. But people be front, oh, I don't eat this. Yo, I had a motherfucker tell me, wow, don't be eating there to spot a filly. I'm like, why not? Do we all see the way they cook the spot? The crib was like, wasn't the cleanest ever when Nanny was cooking the food. It was good. Like, I was eating jail. And the jail was the most catcher in jail. I was there too. But I'm like, I ate in jail. So I'm sitting here like, is you really talking to me about food? I ate in jail, bro. I used to be a trace layer. Double up, get back in line, take my coat off, throw it in the trash. Trash layer. I was a trace layer. Trash. What the fuck are you talking about? You passed me something. I was fucking crazy. So I sit there and listen, when I had my first experience, I'm up in New York. So I don't know that if there's a bunch of bags thrown there, don't go that way. So there's a bunch of bags being thrown. And like, somebody go to put something in the trash and they like hit the trash can next to it. They did like this. They came up out of that drawer. I tried to jump up the wall. I'm looking for a phone booth and I'm like, oh shit. But like, it's something about, but like, I've seen the documentary do me all, but I eat there all the time. What is the energy like? Why is it so, why is it so energizing? What the fuck is this? Man, people on top of each other. Right. It is bad. But it's also the type of people that you can run into. It's energizing, man. So Jeff and I grew up 10 minutes from these guys, right? Like most of our classmates, they stuck around. They didn't go anywhere. They got jobs and married. They, Jeff and I were like, we want to move to New York, right? There's something about the energy there. We grew up in a time before the blog era, right? So we're, we're watching BET, MTV. We're reading XXL magazine like hot 97 is everything to us. You make it down to the city. All those people. Because then we moved down in 2007 during the blog at the start of the blog era. So we're running around with the Wallets and the Coles and everybody, right? But it's like, you can run into your heroes. You can meet Sherry Bryant, right? Walking down the street. You can see Lenny S like coming out of SOBs or something like that, right? You never know when you can run into someone who previously you would never, ever be close to. And this is before like, you know, Twitter allowed you to just DM with Khalifa or something like that, right? You had to like earn this. You had to go stand on a cell phone and be very, yeah. We'll talk, right? We'll come out there fucking DevJet building. Yeah. But listen, he's gonna tell me. He gonna tell me, right? So listen. Let me answer that question. I think New York energy is like that because you have, bro, you could go to like Queens or something. There's like four project buildings on like a two block radius, man. You know, that's like 195,000 niggas living in two blocks. Yeah. That's a lot. Yeah. So if it's niggas on top of niggas on top of niggas, how are you going to shine if you in New York? If you ain't like, nigga, look at me, nigga. Yeah. Nigga, look at me, nigga. You got to be funny. You got to be loud. You got to be aggressive. You got to be slightly through the fuck off. Everybody feel it famous in New York. Everybody feel it famous. You know what it is that it's New York. It's everything y'all just say. It's really our time. Like when you travel, you travel everywhere. Like you say, I don't care what state you go to, what city it is. New York Times is just way different. It's a bit really faster than everywhere else. It's like really like even when you think about it, you go, you go to LA, you go Atlanta, you go to South five lanes, six lanes sometimes, still jam packed fucking traffic. New York, three lanes jam packed traffic, but our traffic is still moving. It's darting in and out. There's the bike people. People not courteous. It's it's it's it's fucking. Get out of my way. Think about it. Because over friendly. Think about it. We be everywhere. New York niggas is the only. And tell us. Run some shit. This boy. Listen, man. They not even do not even from me. No, we don't need anything in the air. I run this. I was in Japan. Walking down the street. It was two niggas there from Brooklyn standing in front of this joint. They said, what's up? What's up? We are from New York, son. Yo, this the strip club. We run this shit. We was in Japan. I was like, that was the craziest shit to me. How they got niggas from Brooklyn in Japan outside the strip club telling motherfuckers to come in and talk about we run this shit? Bro, every small town in America is somebody from New York. That's why every time every way. Preferably Brooklyn. That's it is. Every way. That's what motherfuckers. Every way. Brooklyn niggas got the most passports. Then they don't. I'm just proud. In every every cell block in fucking America is some New York niggas there that went to a small town and locked it down like the song and they get booked by the town. All of them got the same story. Damn, what happened, man? Boy told on me, man, I came shut the town down. I know his brother was a sheriff, man. Like, damn, why the fuck you come here? It was sweet, son. We was killing them. Like they tear Pennsylvania up. But, but, but they do. I'm talking about these. Scray and what? They like Pennsylvania. Fuck up. Jersey. New York. Every way. Like a cast. But, but, but I'm gonna say this though, like, is there etiquette? Because he tried to tell me this. And I know it got it got a little crazy with people approaching artists now because they approach you like, yo, you be with your you could be with your wife nigga be like, yo, is it is it? Because I don't know. I think I'm a little extremes. I got I got etiquette. I just might get loud because I will every time I'm in Soho for some reason, I always run into somebody and I lose my fucking mind because I look at you like you're a family member. Right. So what's the name was coming out the joint? I think I scared him. Russell Simmons. He walking out of the Mercer on Mercer Street in Soho. I said, Ross. He was like, listen, I was just close. I'm like, oh, shit. I said, damn, I said, yo, you used to like this shit up, right? Because listen, he looking at me like, no, no, no, because it's so old. I'm rereading the book like the death. He was a king of Soho. He had the Fairfors. I'm like, you used to like this shit up, Ross. He like, no, no, and his man knew. He was like, no, this is wild. He's like, chill out, man. He thought I was crazy though. And then one time, one time, one time I ran into Kane in the air. Big daddy Kane, man. Kane was mad at me. 5 30 in the morning. I think I woke him up. Big daddy Kane in the mask on and a. This nigga says, because I think that's big daddy came. I'm like, I'm like, how would you think that's big daddy? He got a mask on this nigga. See. I'm like, what's up? You are like. Yeah, he came over there. He took. I knew it was something like corning through the man, but I'm like, he going to super groupie mode. Like, I'm talking about the dick holster mode. Fuck out of here. It ain't even that. This is the same. You're not supposed to go. Listen, listen, listen, listen. Anytime you see a fucking athlete from back in the day, you legend, you go crazy. You fucking bastard. Let it be a old watch. The best. But I'll walk up on them. I'll make sure we get some eye contact. What's up? You a fucking legend, dog. He screams niggas from across the airport. No, man. Like, don't do that. Then he get mad. Because I'm like, stop doing that shit, dog. I'm trying to get these boys. Listen, you gotta think about it. I'll be telling these boys, because they be like, when I be talking to the young boys, they be like, so as you know, they be like, oh, damn, you always want some. Like, what's up with the music? I'm bad. I said, no, you're understanding. I said, that chain you got on. You know why you got that chain? He said, you can't be telling youngs. I said, you got the chain on because slick Rick, man. He said, they don't even know slick Rick, while I said, no. That's why you got the chain on. The niggas made it away, man. Respect. Go listen to slick Rick now, Neff. What the fuck are you talking about? I'll be telling the artist, because I'll be like, y'all don't understand that these dudes had to go through all this shit, wasn't getting no fuck. I said, Neff, the booking that you get, they probably ain't get that in two years. And rap. You get $85,000 for a booking. You know dudes, we just, I said, y'all gotta understand, dudes was doing that. Because that was our thing. We love to do hip hop. Throw a little clothes on, just chill. Go do shows. Dudes was doing shows, riding around in, and little many vans from here to goddamn VVA. Ain't nobody, five dudes in a room. All right, cool, I'll say something. What? Okay, them niggas wasn't getting no money back then. Okay, they just told you niggas ain't getting no money now. It was 1500 streams for a penny. No, dudes getting money. They getting way more, but no, because. Show money. They getting way different type of money. Getting show money. So, when I see them, like, like. Cain getting show money, he just was out deliway, aren't ya? Listen, like, no, Cain's a legend. Man. When I see dudes, like, I gotta admit, I gotta list the people that I'm trying to run into. I got it really in my book. A list of artists that I'm trying to run into. I thought you meant a different way. No, no, no. I'm trying to run into these artists, and I can't find them. I'm trying to run into Kool-Keefe, Anybody from Ultra Magnetic. Ultra Magnetic. I'm trying to run into Gran Puber. I'm trying to run into Gran Puber. I gotta run into him. K.R.R. is when I still ain't run. Didn't he DM me one time? You remember? No. Nigga said you'll fly. Oh, yeah, he don't matter. But listen to this nigga. But that's the deal, no. He know what he know about hip hop, boy. But listen, he know about hip hop and stories. This nigga gonna fly. This nigga gonna say, we get this through, he gonna say, cuz, you ain't gonna believe it. I said, what? He talk about K.R.R. Swain DM me nigga. K.R.R. Swain. Yeah, that's my nigga, man. He pulled the DM up. It was a flyer. Yo. That shit didn't say nothing else. But hold up, but hold up, but hold up. Hold up. And I still got a long standing beef. And I gotta throw it, I always throw it out there because I, this shit pissed me off. I was hot this day. So, DJ Premier, man, we gotta talk. I was hot because, I don't fuck DJ Premier, right? This shit had me pechee. I was pissed. Cuz I'm always holding old legends down everywhere I go. I'm playing this shit. I'm rapping. I'm letting people know this shit is never gonna die. Fucking DJ Premier had a nerve to be following Gilly and not following me. And I don't really trip about that type of shit. He come in the studio, how the fuck is DJ Premier following you without following me? You don't know shit about rap. So I'm like, what the fuck? So I DMed him, I said, man, I ain't feeling this shit. Man, I had to let him know. But I'm like, what are you doing? You know, you know, Guru was like, I don't go to me. So it's like, what the fuck did you talk about? I don't go to me. Watch what you say. When him and him and Shaka came out with that, watch what you say was just, they need that now. But what I'm saying is this, I just salute them boys so crazy, cuz it's like, bro, that shit, it was like, bro, you know them back in the day, we ain't might have had no money, you ain't had nothing, but you had that tape. You had that tape that you played to the motherfucking Words fell off that motherfucking. This is what all that shit is for. He a old rapper groupie. That's cool, dawg. I love him in the ring. No, I ain't no more time I was with Wu Tang back in the day, he did the show. He just, trust me, he's a locks groupie. We all the same age. That nigga, he earned your tape. Y'all Wu Tang, Y'all mob. Look at this old groupie. Listen, everything Molly Marlin was doing. That's fine. Like listen, Wadsey was a fucking legend. Paul Wright just teaches us legends. And then why is it, what happened to the group? I thought the group was the best thing. It's like everybody won't be like, why nobody doing, like I just think the group is just so easy. The eagles, we talked about it. Eagles. Eagles. What the fuck? No, not the eagles, the eagles. No, I said the eagles. I said, like you said, it's, it's, it's, it's. Most people aren't comfortable with somebody liking someone else more than them. Facts. Damn. And that's, that's where the problem lies. The labels at the twinermen make them go separate. And, and not only that, like if you, if you ain't solid as a person, I'll be in a supermarket. Yo, Pete, what's up? What's good? You chilling? You all right? You good? I fucking love Lucho though. I love like if I ain't solid with him myself. Yeah, you right. Like, you know what I mean? If a person ain't solid. He's still crying. And you, you're like, you go home like, he approached me. I'm cool and all that. You good. You, I fuck with you. But I fuck with Lucho. I'm larger than him. Yeah. Man, I like what I have. Man, right. Love me too. My niggas see me. Yeah, I feel the same way you feel, buddy. I feel like that. Let's talk about a beauty must have, Batiste Dry Shampoo. It's the award-winning number one dry shampoo in the U.S. and worldwide.

Like, like, you know what I mean? And that's where they can find your identity and make sure people like you for who you are. We all bring some. Get comfortable in your own skin. Yeah, we all bring something different and then the same thing at one time. So what was it? Sorry, back to the beginning, though, like the splits don't make sense anymore. Yeah. Because like if the money isn't there, you're trying to split it now three, four, five ways. That's crazy. Yeah. No, no, no. Before you even get it. Yeah. It's chopped up. They cut the they cut the coke to the fucking to the they cut it in a different way. Yeah. So by the time you get what you like, hold up, I got this plaque. What up? Yeah, they had nothing. What the fuck I'm getting? Hmm. You know, this shit's 700 billion streams. What's the check? That's 20 G's. And that they never say the money. It should have. So what you call just passed Billy Ocean. He got 400 billion. Bro, how somebody passed somebody every week? The money is. They got 300,000. Yeah. How is a new record being broke every week? The shit just came out two days ago. Yeah. I think that song was out for six years. Passed the shit that was out for 60 years. Meaningless. Like how is that like that's crazy. But I told you. Such is such is past. We are the world. How the fuck. I told somebody this. I told somebody this. I said, listen, yeah, no, listen. That we are the world. Yeah, they got the world. They be doing all type of shit. I ain't saying nobody passed. I'm just saying that has been an example. I'll just say it. I told somebody this. I said, listen, we talking about streams. I said, I don't even know if I can look at that the same because I'm thinking about like, when y'all had all music out, right? And I'm talking about big and pocket. And they like, man, y'all be hyping that shot. I said, listen, bro, these dudes was going diamond back then. I said, diamond meant this. Diamond meant that 10 million people put their clothes on, walked out the house and went to the record store. We combine that online. There wasn't no websites. There wasn't no phones. It wasn't that. That mean 10 million people went to the couch. So I'm trying to say, so we're talking about streams. If we calculate them, please. Loving them shit is robots. Copping your shit. And they got robots. They got shit. They got shit set up that look like it's on line. There's no more gatekeepers. They keep saying that. And we need. No, like not, not like we all knew, right? We need gatekeepers. Are you crazy? Like it's still. Yeah. Well, right. Because I'm sure he does believe that. But there's there's no one. There's no one. There used to be limited slots. Saying you know, is nobody saying that you really trash? You ain't getting in there. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's what we say. And by the way, those gatekeepers who say that make that artist work harder in a perfect scenario. And then they come back with the music. So Tyler, Tyler would not get on the websites from the blog error, right? Now, right. And two dope boys. And he used that fire to then make better music. Say, fuck the blogs. I'm going around them, use social media and look here. He is 10 years later, fucking running everything, right? But there's no gatekeepers, which means that the whole landscape is flat. The bar is so low. Anybody could get in. Anybody can get on. So you have a zillion artists. You have, you know, room for everybody and nothing means anything anymore. It's all just because it's fucking not goes back to earlier. What we said, it's not just music. Think about it. If you're a new artist, you walk a new artist in the building, most talented, fucking gifted person in the world. First thing they're going to ask them is how many followers? How many followers? How many? Right. What's your Instagram account? Right. Now you're going to talk about outlets. Oh, you got to go to YouTube. You got to go to Spotify. You got to go. So music isn't music. So there are gatekeepers. They just went and sold the shit to a bigger corporation, which would be tech. So the gatekeepers of what we do are actually kind of zuckered birds. And so those are the gatekeepers and they're gatekeeping something that they now they say it went from this to I run this whole fucking table. Yeah. You think you got time? You're part of the culture though. That's the same. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And he ain't part of the culture. He's the smallest part of his company. Yeah. He's like, I don't give a fuck what's happening on that music. Oh man, music cars. Music cars. I don't give a fuck about that shit. I'm over here trying to make a brain shift. Yeah. Like so we're talking about Musk, uh fucking Zuckenberg, Bezos. Yeah. Those are the gatekeepers of what we do and they don't even pay attention. They don't give a fuck about what's going on. That's they got. They listen to anime. They listen to anime. The funny thing is we look at like young artists all the time and we're like, oh man, no one wants to work for their shit. No one wants to make a career or whatever. They want the shortest distance between here and success, right? But the crazy thing is companies want that too, right? So when they ask you, well, what are your social media numbers looking like? They don't want to put their work in. To get there quick. Yeah, true. They don't want to, but they fired whole departments that used to do that. Yeah. They used to do development. But what I'm saying is too, right, you can always go off of social media numbers, but at the end of the day, y'all been going off of social media numbers for how long and it ain't showing improvement. Yeah. It ain't. Because ain't nobody lasts in two years. See, because they trick people in and now not wanting a dollar. Niggas want the best numbers. Niggas don't even really want bread like that. Right. The young people. You got the people who are making a shitload of money and making a ton of money. Now you got everybody else who, which makes this whole shit fucked up. People are comfortable with the look. Like you said, kids, a nigga is cool. We're going to stand by your car. This ain't my car. Right. If I stand by it though, they catch the right angle. And that pitch is 6,000. Yeah, I'm lit. And that's what I always say. They just want to be famous. They just want to be famous. So that's the new. You got to say they don't even want to be famous. They just want to be seen. Yeah. Yeah. You want to get your moment. Yeah. Yeah. They just want to be seen. That's it. Like you got to understand, motherfucker, just want you to post them. It is not going to have no type of meaning on a life for real, except for the next couple days. They get to sit there and read comments. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. It don't have no fucking type of impact on a life at all. Something that's like Christmas morning or something. Yeah. Yeah. It's most terrible. It's terrible. It's going to be a part of the comments section. Right. I'm going to talk. Imagine. I'm going to read all the comments. You. Yeah. He got me cracking the fuck up. Yo, he crazy. Right. Yo, he so it'd be like when you understand this shit, you'd be like, this shit's crazy. Here's how fucked up it is societally. Jeff and I, we go on a yearly trip with our other brother, Dan. We were flying back from Italy last year. The entire flight, eight hours, there was a girl sitting in front of me face tuning her picture. One picture, eight hours. That's IB. But also her face was fucked up. Yeah. Like that's the problem. Yeah. See. You got to be perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's this idea of perfect. But it's like, but then they didn't, then you be like, I don't, you see a bunch of women on the gram and they be talking about niggas, niggas, right? No, y'all, y'all cat fishing, baby. A nigga one on that Instagram, baby. You look like a motherfucking nine and a half, man. He got there. You was a five and a half, baby. You ain't had none of that shit going on. So it was, you know, in a high rise and, you know, Don't worry about it. I fucked to credit up three times. She still, that's why you got to know how to fix it. Because if you know how to fix you are never getting that vulnerable state. Again, I felt so vulnerable that I didn't know how to help. I knew that I got myself in this situation, but I didn't know how to get myself out. And that personally bothered me because I know I have goals and things that I want to do. But just like anyone that has goals, it's like little small little tasks that you have to complete before you even start working on the goals. And I knew credit was one of them. That's major, but you went through that break and bounced back. Had to. How long did it take you to get your credit together after you, after you, after the person you gave him the money, your credit was messed up after the break, if you gave him the money, you start learning. Yeah, but how long did it take? He wrote off for him. Still four months. I went three months with him. No results, not even an inquiry done. Then I had to get out my lease because I didn't want to get a victory. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, okay, I got to hurry up and fix my credit, hurry up and fix my credit. That took four months. It don't take long on to fix your credit. Like if you been in some type of credit program over a year, like you would be surprised like the stories, the horror stories I hear with credit repair. You guys scammed. Yeah, I know somebody's fixing my sister credit for seven months. And I'm like, they could have built a fucking small town in Africa in seven months. That's what I'm saying. I hope she not using nothing like, you know, lexington law and nothing like none of that stuff work like you need to. Damn, you know what's crazy? God damn, that's crazy. You said I used lexington law back in the day. Them niggas didn't do nothing for me. I know they didn't. My shit stayed there like a 540. Yeah, they want to charge you that subscription. But the part of the subscription that's messed up on their part, they're trying to keep it in the subscription as long as they can and not delete your stuff. Yeah, they had me in subscription for like eight months. But what they should have did, I feel like is talk the game and put you on the subscription so you can actually learn and scale. So every month you're paying the subscription, you're scaling. I forget they had me. I was paying for some months though. You traumatized? No, my credit is great now. I know that's right. I'm not. I ain't no nigga that living yesterday. My life ain't no till back Thursday. I might go buy lexington law right now. That's why, because I really had that shit working. He had me. See how they're doing, jumping. But now, all right, so I come over here, man. How you going to upgrade me as a newbie, man? I come into this class. I'm just watching it right now. I'm going to really teach you the game. I'm not going to give you the fluff. I'm going to give it to you raw. I'm going to teach you how to fix your credit. I'm going to tell you the most important LCRAs laws to leverage. I'm going to double back, show you how to actually build your report. So you're not looking like a damn CPN out here. Y'all need primaries. It's more, every 700 is not made the same. And that's another thing a lot of people drop off at. Then we're going to double back and I'm going to teach you how to get funded. But the difference is, I'm going to tell you what to actually do with the money. So you won't get back in the same situation that you was in before you met me. That's crazy, man. I like that. She's not playing no games. Diamond Grant, that's crazy. It's like she giving you all free grant. That's the last name Grant. Getting into it. Like she like, take that. I don't even know about that.

Let me worry about this. I'm about to trademark that today. This ain't no loan. I'm just saying that you give them a grant. This ain't no diamond grant. That's your real name. You here you go.

Just another day. Why wouldn't she think that was shit? That's what I'm gonna do. That's what she is. So a lot of them ain't even chasing greatness. They chasing looks. Right. Yeah. Right. And then niggas get upset because you be on the gram. You be looking at this bitch. You be like, oh, I need this bitch. Damn. Pitch me. She got somebody holding the camera. She walking off. She showing you the bun. She wants you to see the buns while she walk up. You're like, nigga. Then you get the bitch. And she like, babe, hold this camera while I do this walk off video. Now you want to choke the bitch out. That's the same way. That's what attracted you, nigga. That's what made you want the bitch. You wanted the bitch for all the wrong reasons. You wanted her for ass, not a class. You wanted the bitch for tits, not a wits. But then you get around, then you want her to be a good girl. No, no, no, no.

Was y'all, was Biggie like, yeah, yeah, I'm where you go crazy on y'all. Was it ever that moment with y'all? We had to show up. Yeah, you never had it. Shit don't change. It's an MC, as an MC. It go into another gear when you in there with them type of niggas, you know that. You gotta go into the, man. You gotta have that state of mind. It was good cause Big, Big, at the time we gotta think Big is like the Michael Jordan the rap. Yes. Bad boys like the Bull Chicago Bulls. And Big didn't have to embrace us. He embraced us immediately. Like when he heard us rhyme, we was going to work, but Big was like coming out of room. When he heard us rhyme, he was like, y'all fucking rhyme. I'll never forget that ever. He was like, y'all fucking rhyme, rhyme. He said, I'm glad y'all are here. I'm glad. And he was like, y'all really fucking cool too. So he felt our whole vibe, our whole energy. And he was just very embracing. And then our sessions became together sessions. Like so we got to watch him work, build with him, be cool and be on life after death. Which is in my opinion, the most greatest hip hop album that's ever existed. So did y'all ever have a record that y'all really didn't like? And y'all weren't waiting in one for y'all? Jiggie. If you think I'm Jiggie. I love that. That's how you got to dance with it? Yeah. I love that one. Y'all was like, we ain't with this shit. Nah, because you know, when you- They love that shit now. They love it.

Nickelodeon. They did. I don't ever think that y'all gonna be, because y'all was ever, like, this what cubes say. Cubes say when you authentic, you don't gotta cross over, they cross over to you. And y'all had the thing where they crossed over to y'all. But did y'all think, because I'm like, damn, they just, y'all just kept going and going and going. And even though what y'all was talking about, it's still transition. Yeah. Like, was that, was y'all shocked? Like, hold up, this shit really happening? I think Benjamin's was the one for me to like, wow, this shit is really taking place. Like, you know what I mean? When the Benjamin's came out. Did y'all think Benjamin's was gonna do what he was gonna do? I didn't even like to try. No, we didn't wanna do it. What? Yeah. Just burn up. This crazy, y'all didn't wanna do it. So when that shit do it, no, that's like the probably the last song that I got recorded for that no way out. Damn. It's all about the beat. What you mean y'all ain't wanna do it, a level, ain't it? I didn't really like the beat. I didn't think the beat was, Damn, y'all ain't know it was gonna go. It was gonna connect. We just walked in the studio, he pulled us in the room like this to this, and played that show. I was like, hey, John, what's hit? What you want? Yeah, I know. Now this is before the lyrics was on it, it was, you know, just ding ding ding, I'm like, what else you got? That's how we was, yeah. I didn't think that.

And she was like, yeah, Missy put that. Missy a legend. Yeah, real talk. Shout out to Missy VA. And that's how that became that. So y'all just do some verses on the basis of their way. Wasn't even for it. Yep. That's crazy. I remember me and Missy seeing the dance and doing all that. I seen it in that room that day. She's doing all this shit. I'm like, who are you? Just put this song together. Saying this is what it's going to be. Let me ask you a question. After that shit was done and came out, did you like, I should have put a verse? I did. They making.

Shading the bag of the noodles in there, the mac and juice jumping, the green peppers and onions. I stole out the kitchen. I'm like, man, who was that? And so I was like, shut up.

What you want? Nigga, I'm talking about. I never experienced no fucking energy in a arena like that ever in life. And I fucking pray for you after like, you got to understand, like that shit was different. Like that shit was it was another show that was up there too. It was Snoop and Dre in them niggas up in smoke. Oh my goodness. That shit was crazy. You forget how many records the motherfuckers got, man. You be like, God damn. I hit. But that energy that that ex came out with that she was just that she was a different level, bro.

Like somebody that y'all was like, we got to get on the joint together. Anybody personal joints. And that we didn't get on. I feel like we work with almost fucking everybody, bro. Literally pretty free. I said maybe like Lord Tariq. Oh, that's a good one. Lord crew back then. Lord Tariq wasn't he with Money Balls playing? Money Balls. Minnesota in them that did the production.

You get a picture kissing Kenny Singh on down the line. Kiss him on the head, that's what I'm saying is. I mean, I think that's why we've been blessed. We've been able to work with the greats. That's what makes you feel blessed in this thing. We've run alongside the Romans, man. It's funny you say Kenny because me and Kenny got a strong connection though. You fuck up. Tell him the story, you understand? Let me put you down. So what happened is, what happened is, when I was growing up, and me and Karate Earl used to be together, my sensei, and I was a martial artist. This before, I was at like seven black belts at that time. So we in the hood, we running around. You know what I'm saying? We running around. Karate Earl was one of the greatest martial artists ever. Karate Earl was in Vietnam and all that shit. And Karate Earl, legends, because he used to tell me stories as we walked around the neighborhood together. Because he used to be security at the Chinese store in the corner. So he told me that this is legally, but I believe him. Him and Bruce Lee was cool. He fought with all of them. I don't know if it was true or not, but he just, whatever. So sometimes when I was with him and the altercation might come because he was always telling me my job was to defend the neighborhood when he wasn't around. But he was more a little more than another level than me, because I'm a kid. I'm like this big, but I got like seven black belts under my joints. And a lot of people would say, I used to have you got every time I did certain things. Earl will reward me with a black belt. He said, you when you reach the next level, I said, all right, cool. So I had different belts and I mean he put a little mark, take a mark and put a little seven on there. Was identified. I got seven black belts. And later on in life when I was in jail, I created my own martial arts called low-quant-dough. I tell you all about that later. Well, whatever the case may be. So every time, you know, cause, cause, cause, cause Earl. Oh, quiet, darling. Listen, cause Earl, right? Like Earl will have me, we'd be posting up. I don't know why he was like, come on, let's, let's stand right here with Ali way at. For what? This is where all the danger happening at night time. So we've been standing in front of the alley waiting for danger to come. So one night I go to stand there and I see some dudes come around there and Kenny Rogers were playing my mind. You got to know when to fold them, know when to hold them. But the most important part, know when to walk away, know when to run. So that was all, that's why I say we got a close connection. A lot of times I would just like, man, Grotty Earl was an old head in the fucking hood. I didn't tell you to go to the fucking hood. He used to take, fuck no, fuck no. He used to take kids to the fucking park. Don't say you don't stand there. They'd be out there pinching your ass. No, he didn't. He was like, you know what's the fucking deal? No, he didn't fuck nobody. You got to stand up there and say, I'm three years older than this nigga. He'd be like, he's 10 and he out there. I'm 13, he's about to come to, I ain't going out there with that nigga, man. You got to know where he's at. Oh shit, nigga old ass nigga. He got to tell out there, he's out there doing dumb shit. I'm like, they shit, that's on the Grotty Kid. He didn't fucking learn, you know, on the Grotty. He got all these shambles. Let me clear it for you. No, let me clear it for you. That nigga was a motherfucker. No, he wasn't. Let me clarify something. Let me clarify something. I was fucking that. He was fucking pussy in the hood. You knew that too, nigga. Fuck out of here. At that time, that was good. Your mom even confronted you, Earl. My mom was hating on Earl. My mom was fucking hating on Earl. I told her that shit. You fucking hating on Earl, because Earl was a legend. Let me just say this. I got to put this out there to clarify Earl's name because he's a hater. Earl never did no bad touches. He never did no bad touches. As a kid, I never seen no bad touches from Earl. I don't know. One thing about martial arts to me, it made me be one with myself. You know what I'm saying? Shut the fuck up, man. When we interview a legend, we'll win it. But can I say this? I'm a Gil. Gil got a connection in New York. This is Gil connection in New York. Let's talk about the time we on a subway in the Guardian Angel boy gripped you to fuck up. Because you kept fucking with him. You wouldn't smoke. The dude telling you to put that cigarette down. I said, Gil, that's a fucking cigarette. Now listen, you know the Guardian Angel used to come to Philly and they used to patrol the subway. They got the tabs on. I'm like, yes, he knows something.

You got to poke him. He got it like this. He like, Lou, what you doing? I'm like, listen, man. I'm like, I ain't got nothing to do with that. I'm like, listen, I told you. So we leave. We get on the stuff. Listen, the bull, listen, this will happen. This will make people real. When the subs stop, the bull did one of these. It was like, you move him out the sun. I'll start on the door. He like, pussy, why are you out? I'm like, I'm not gonna do this. Listen, listen, listen, tell me to say some bitch ass shit, right? So I'm like, fuck, who you talking to?

He had a head on with a nipple sticking up. That's it. You got that fucking nut ass head on. Fuck you talk to. Oh, I ain't the one for that shit. Fuck out of here. And then I took my eyes off it. When I took my eyes off it, he got a grumpy up on the side. I was looking. I'm like, oh, no. Make this a fair fight. I'm like, I'm talking. He's a one on one. No. I'm not talking about it.
