We're talking twenty three years later, twenty.
Speaker 1Three years later that niggas still in his thirties, y'all.
That nigga cheated y'all you know upstairs every day.

Niggas wasn't checking for It's always and my boy.
Speaker 1Expectations.
No disappoint ship with man Riders.
Just drop clo.
You know what I say.
See to that, you can't say niggas wasn't checking for the right.
Speaker 2People who fuck with you checked for it, you know what I mean, because I listened to it.
I was on a few of right, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, for sure, like you definitely put your work and it was doing your thing.
And the link up with East is crazy because I remember when I first met East was with Wayne Though.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's what I mean.
That's a rock of Philly rock, rock fella fucking.
Speaker 2Originally original, and you know that's who introduced me today when he first was coming out killing ship doing this thing.
So what was that like even you know, coming in with the tutelage of a of a nigga who was who was down with that?
Speaker 3I got mass stories early on, and you know it was dope with it.
Like like I was saying earlier, I was a fan of the Rock in which which y'all put out.
So the so the come in the game with somebody that came from that family from Harlem, like you know what I mean?
Like that was that was just like an almost had like a cheek code to knowing how sh it was gonna kind of play out, how niggas act or just all all of the ship that come outside of the lights and all that WAYNA was putting me onto that early he was having them convos on the train or like before the whips and all that, like you know what I mean.
So wain'n't really he walked me in this ship.
You know what I'm saying.
I always salute went on he walked me.
Speaker 2In the wain't know what's a pup When he came through to the rock at first and he left, Yeah, he was more and when he came in.
He took more to gun from Philly in the city where everybody know what's from Philly.
Speaker 1I used to think it.
I'm like, wait, now you're from Hall.
Speaker 2It was from the city, Nigga, from the east side of all the fact man ship east you went into the movies.
By g the fucking that's what was that?
That was fire, yeah, man, and I ain't gonna fry.
You killed meth.
I think you might have killed meth better than meth.
Shout out Meth.
That's my mother, man.
Man, that was I feel like that was one of them once in a lifetime experiences, Like you know what I'm saying, I can't redo that, Like that was one of the moments, Like I'm always appreciative of that.
Speaker 1Shout the Rizard, you know what I'm saying, the whole man ray, all of them.
Man.
Speaker 2But I was on set with Rizzard day in, day out, so there's a big, big shout the riser, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1But me, everybody like, I just feel like.
Speaker 3That was dope because that was like, really my first I had acted before.
Speaker 1I was in a movie called Beats with Anthony Anderson.
Speaker 2You know what I mean, big, big act shout to set free, sept free, put me in that world, your big, big shout out.
Speaker 1To set free.
Speaker 3But the Wu Tang we did three seasons, so that was three years of me filming you know what I'm saying, driving the stat now and five in the morning doing makeup for two hours because they got to cover all my tats up and.
Speaker 1All that, you know what I mean.
But I'm around.
Speaker 3Actors should more and Ashton, people that do movies like you know what I mean.
As I'm on the set, I'm picking up this from that one and picking up that.
So it just it made it easier for me to just be more comfortable and room.
Speaker 4To play characters of people that's gone.
I wasn't the had like myth coaching you through the ship.
Speaker 1That was crazy.
Speaker 3And the fact that he kept giving me the like body and that everything I'm seeing you yes right there.
That's all I really needed was him saying it, because that's somebody that I'm re enacting, like you said, but he hed, so Nigga can easily be like I wasn't moving like.
Speaker 1That, like all killed that ship, that movie, that show was fire.
Speaker 2Then you went in to the motherfucker ads with the pooma shipped like one thing led in to another.
Speaker 1Nigga was just modeling what was just doing?
Public service?
Speaker 2Right show That's another thing this nigga Dudo saying ship become a sex symbol.
This nigga he only sixteen, then the sex symbol.
Since then then they linked together.
Yeah, fucking dying yo, So out of like y'all both from competitive fucking you from Philly bro top spinners in the world, some of the you know, some of the best boxers in the world.
You out of Harlem, my nigga, that legacy the follow from Harlem is insane.
Do y'all feel like y'all made y'all mark amongst the legendary marks everybody else made me from?
Like being from Harlem?
You know what I'm saying, Like you got Mace, you got you know, puff ain't really from Harlem, but he claimed Harlem.
You know what I'm saying.
And you got what they did and what Dip said.
Did you know what I'm saying?
Though, you feel like you made your mark?
Speaker 3You're this generation for the for the you if you was born in two.
Speaker 1Thousand, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3Two thousand and five, like you twenty five.
Now, I feel like that that generation, like everybody who just named inspired me to my.
Speaker 1Son to do it.
Speaker 2He definitely like, Yeah, even a nigga spit had my man b g out of motherfucking Miami.
That nigga like, Nope, that that's nas guy, that's my guy off the yo.
Speaker 1You're talking generation.
So I definitely felt that way.
Speaker 4You nigga started back out of Philly still putting on.
I carried it the right way they carrying.
Yeah, it's always wrong for growth.
Speaker 1That's right.
So what's next for you?
Gun?
You got any pro made the Tokyo okay ready to you?
Why?
Speaker 4Hey that's about I think that's done ninety yep, Tokyo producer.
Speaker 1No way?
Uh you have being ransom?
Yeah, joint with you.
Speaker 4You know what I'm saying, that ship and I'm talking about the rapping this shit.
I'm talking about mixing a mask that's in the bank.
See you had banker here, Oh yeah, let it out.
Yeah, man, homie cooking on the monster.
Speaker 1I'm on that small yeah thing pulling up.
Speaker 2That's one thing I love about doing this show cause niggas like bank you know what I'm saying, he don't know how much I don't think he understood how much of a legend.
Speaker 1How much impact he's seen the response.
Speaker 2On the part, and then he hit me like, yo, good luck bro.
You know sometimes I think God's gotta be reminded of who they are to remember what they got in this ship.
Speaker 1For, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2So I heard you even say that too, where you was like when you was talking about your album, it was like, this is this is me.
I'm doing this for me, not for the fans like the outside voices.
Right, That's something I always say me.
I can look back now and say on my career that that's where my train went off track.
Because you know, when you first start making music, you making music for yourself, like you ain't making mus you don't even know, no fans even fuck with you.
Speaker 1So you do it for yourself, my building, and then when you get paid, you're.
Speaker 2Like, hold on these niggas like that, all right, let me make this, let me do this.
Speaker 1Then you start making music for the niggas and you lose your way.
So stick to the script, man.
Speaker 2So for you to say that and to recognize that this early meet, I recognized it too late, you know what I'm saying like, that's a blessing, bro, because I know for a fact just by you saying that there's some classic material on this.
Speaker 1Shit, bro, you gotta think about it.
Speaker 2When I came in this shit bleak, it was twenty fifteen, This is my tenth year all that hit Ice tenth.
Speaker 1Year, Yeah for the Ice, I'm for some Champagne tenth year bleak.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3I came in with NAS big shot love you bro, you know what.
That's how I got it.
Speaker 1You feel me Jungle Nas, you know what I mean?
That's major.
Speaker 3Then I got with Depth, Jim, I want to say twenty eighteen.
Yeah, about eighteen I got with Depth Jen this.
So I always had not even nas per se but massive pill.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3I always had a bunch of different not do this type of song, do that type of song, do this type of record?
You need the girls like you need this type of song and not knocking, no advice coming in.
But that started to throw me off a little bit because what I the ship I was making is what attracted them, attracted them to me.
Speaker 1That's right, you know what I'm saying.
So I thought about that.
I was like, Yo, this ain't I ain't making a shit.
I was made coming in like, don't fix it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3So I think this is the first time I really was able to get back to that, Like you know, that's why I told you, That's why I took a decade.
Speaker 1Like mixtapes, when you do mixtapes, you just that's when you get right.
Speaker 4You're just not thinking about the best music.
Speaker 2You're not thinking about it that's the best music.
That's a fact.
Like Ship.
I feel like a lot of artists gave away their best work on mixtapes, absolutely, like it should be better than the album.
Really just don't know because the album is.
Speaker 3So uh strategic.
You got like, I'll never forget with def Jam, I'll play my album.
It'd be a table full of people.
I'm sitting at the table full of he might I don't know.
Ship might be from Texas.
He might like not knocking where nobody from.
But you're not my world.
Not you don't know my world.
The project done?
They saying I don't hear a single, but which one is the single?
Speaker 1Yeah, I ain't asked you to be to market.
Speaker 3I'm getting all the passage.
Go get this Ship off, man, that's it.
I don't need your opinion.
On what the first listen man.
Speaker 2Definitely be too much pressure put on the artist, like, yo, you need this kind of record, you need that kind of record.
To me, it's only two types of records, good and not good.
Like think about it, bro, we listen to records that we don't even know.
I got a playlist on my phone called Spanish Ship.
Speaker 1I don't know nothing Spanish.
I only know the curse word fire off fires.
Tell me these niggas ain't killing ship.
Speaker 2I know fies and I know this vibe is listen fact hit.
Speaker 4They'll pick him every time we all be wealthy.
You gotta let the fans choose.
Speaker 3It is, because it'll be the song that the ain't jacketing at the world love Yeah, Yeah, And then it's like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1So that's for artists out there.
Don't make your art, bro, you know what I'm saying.
Don't really let nobody distract yourn.
Speaker 4It's like a lot of records that might have came out.
We might not have liked it when the Ship first hit, but the dj constantly play They're going to force the ship on.
Speaker 1You while you find yourself singing it.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2That's how that's eighty five percent of music here today.
Speaker 1The start off like that was control of the masses when it was all radio.
But now we got this internet.
So but it's kind of fair game, especially for new artists.
Speaker 2One thing I'm gonna bring up, and that leads me, congratulations to you Dave for getting a billion fucking strings.
Speaker 1Amazing, Yo, that was heavy.
Speaker 2But yeah, that work, bro, I super appreciate that world.
My only thing with that is the half a billion people play your music is fucking amazing, right, But the money they give you for streaming this business, you feel me, Like even if it was twenty five center spin, right, you feel me.
But that's my point right to where I feel like the way the game went for y'all, they tricked the new the new generation out of the methods that made our generation rich.
Because how we got rich was radio.
Radio produced the publishing checks, you.
Speaker 1Know what I mean.
Speaker 2Them spins on the radio matters, Like if you got a hundred thousand spins on the radio, you can literally go by a house, you know what I mean.
Think about a billion streams on the Internet.
It's like that's a major feat, but it don't what is it that's.
Speaker 1What I'm saying.
Speaker 3I was like, oh, that sound good might get a plaque of soe what I want the new generation and people to realize, Man, get back the radio, bro, don't don't give up on radio.
Speaker 1Don't give up on the DJ.
The DJ is very important.
Bro.
Speaker 2It's like it's like, yeah, NBA players know how to play the game, but you still need the coach.
You still need the assistant coach, you still need the conditioning coaches.
Speaker 1You know what I mean?
Like the DJs is that important?
Bro?
Speaker 2And I feel like a lot of people, yes, just like forget about them and feel like, Yo, they chase the playlist where the playlists bring you pop popularity, but they don't bring you that paper.
Speaker 1DJ enough I said all the time, salute DJ enough.
You heard us.
That's that's the That's the one thing.
Speaker 2Young niggas he got, he crept back in.
He ain't really a young nigga.
He's just a young nigga.
About default with y'all niggas, Yo, y'all get the modeling that Brodie.
The companies, Mountain Dude, sprites, PEPSI fucking all these companies just flooding.
They was not fucking with us back in the day, like you rapped ill, how'd your purse?
Speaker 1Girls?
Speaker 2Now like that gotta feel amazing man, like y'all pushing it forward, man, And I commend y'all for that.
Speaker 1You know what I mean.
The brands that I grew up to, grew up on Spike.
Speaker 3Got actually got a bag doing something with them McDonald's.
Speaker 1See all that.
That's crazy.
Speaker 4You know what I got to What.
Speaker 1You got a bag?
Got a McDonald's.
Speaker 2Only bag I got was the bag of the big back.
What you got the big bag of fast.
We used to go to McDonald's.
This ship, I said, oh ship full circle.
That's dope, man.
Get the money back for what they did to push your in them to man funk that pushing the yeah for the jingle by damn.
Speaker 1I know that was That's what that's.
Speaker 2We got to pull the gun out of push you.
I'm a ride for you, but I need PC.
They pushed his credit on that.
They made the jingle My g you got a bag from That's what I'm saying.
Back in the days, ain't no wasn't no brands thinking about what.
Speaker 1Even collaping with a rapper.
I think we had the hard knocked life tour rock the mic.
Speaker 2Now you look at j and them festivals, all the festivals everybody doing.
Speaker 4And then we did the Sprite tour.
You know where the world niggas you.
Speaker 1We ain't even have no sprite in the dressing room on that tour.
She was cool.
This is word.
Speaker 2I think that was the first time just got it was like, Okay, we ain't here, new gag, new gag.
We ain't back to the ship.
But yeah, man fucking gun man, let me ask you this bro on some Rocker Feller ship, the break up, I don't think Rockefeller ever going back Together's just keep it all the way up.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't think run back ye up the blizzards had to put I said, yo, I don't think Rockefeller ever coming back together.
That naship.
Speaker 3You know, I look at it like I ain't got nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1My younger opinion, I feel like, and this just going with life.
Some ship just gotta did what it did, Gotta go and embrace what it did.
Speaker 3The next you know, like that time you remember, like like now when I see all of that coming out or whatever, and with me, I ain't seen none of that with when we were sitting watching the state prop movie or hearing them albums, it was like, that's crue.
Speaker 2Ship.
Speaker 1So to grow up and be like all them niggas really wasn't They might have not really.
Speaker 3Been like you know what I mean, like I don't want to see that.
I don't even want to click on the ship.
Speaker 4And see to get back together.
Like over again, you're talking like niggas money niggas like saying money.
Speaker 2It's money on the table, millions the table.
It's definitely on the table.
So if niggas differences to the side for that, you know, to that was leading to, do you ever think it's a possibility state property we're doing with all that's going on with the prop.
See, we all fucked up?
Man, I think that s all fucked up now.

You meet a West Coacht girl, they automatically know you ain't ship.

East Coach was different.
East Coach was different.
The girls really thought you loved them.
They was down with the it's my But then niggas fucked it up when it just start saying, ain't no groopie.
Now they think back then, wasn't no uber, no uber eat?
Speaker 1So if you ain't stopping getting nothing.
Speaker 2Yeah, before you get to the hotel, it is basically was eating yard.
Speaker 1Me must have patched yo.
Speaker 2Put it this way, that half an a joint today that that that that like that getting the uber would would have not gotten a yellow cat, no yellow call a cab but not back then.
Speaker 1We used to.
Speaker 2It was more expensive because we staffed to call car service for you.
If you wanted to move a joint back in the day.
Speaker 1You had to call car service.
And that was that.
We had car service in the projects.
You used to call it black truck we had today.
Ship is bad man.
Like the girls.
Speaker 2Yo, listen, this is why y'all young niggas getting so much money.
I guess all the bottle, the deals and all this because the girls wanted to eat.
Speaker 1They won't go to Capital.
Speaker 2Grill fleet greedy man, they won't go to steak forty eight.
Speaker 1You know what I mean?
Got yo?
Speaker 2Sure, y'all young they is as ball as the ball, this is yo.
The most we used to do was cheesecake factory.
Just that was like sort, That's what I'm saying.
But that was like elite back then.
I know, Philip Fridays the jack damn you you got enjoy a jack Damn you shrip or.
Speaker 1Steak chicken fingers.
Speaker 2Some Boston balket.
You was that guy.
None of that should have worked today.
That's why I got out the game.
Speaker 1That might not know what the fun that is used to be paying you.
Speaker 2Yo, Boston was that ship.
That's what I'm saying.
I couldn't even compete with a girl today.
Like if I just met a girl and be like, Yo, let's go on the date, and she like, yeah, I want to go to Ruth.
Speaker 1Like what the roof of my projects?
Speaker 6Not talking about Ruth print Yeah, Chris, We're gonna go to Chris first date.
Speaker 2We're gonna go to see Ruth about.
Speaker 1Got it?
Yo.
Speaker 2That's why I'm like, damn man, today it's different man, like and my bugget or what's up?
Speaker 1Wow?
Scammers man?
Scammers?
Oh man, I think the scammers did it.
Speaker 2But think about that.
If you take a joint now in the peace stam I imagine being a scammer.
You take a joint out of your peace stole hit.
Gotta gotta run out of there immediately, the bathroom, Yo, that's what they gotta need, the joint right getting.
I gotta pee.
This piece ain't hit.
I'm going to the bathroom, y'all.
Y'all scammers.
And the grammar.
The gram is bad, man, bro, the gram is bad.
Speaker 1I think it's a given the courage world.
Speaker 3I agree with why you say that, because I feel like you could you could literally you can have your talent, you know what I mean, and and don't have no connections to nothing.
But you get you know, upload your ship on internet, put it on the ground, keep you know what I mean, create a following from that.
It's to the point where, like you don't even gotta really be talented.
You could just keep doing the same dumb ship over and over and you're gonna get viewers, you know.
Speaker 1What I'm saying.
Speaker 3So I think in that space of getting whatever whatever you think your talent is, getting it out to the world, I think.
Speaker 1It's a good look.
No, no, that's a fact.
I think.
Speaker 2Uh.
Speaker 1The curse of it is.
Speaker 3Everybody is too familiar with everybody, so like like back in the day, you couldn't you couldn't fucking DM bro.
Speaker 1I get mad dms from people.
It's real ship.
And I'm not knocking to people.
Speaker 3I'm not gonna say nobody name, but I actually get d MS from people that's telling me, yo, I'm about to get evicted.
Speaker 1And these are people I don't know.
Speaker 3It's not family's a complete stranger.
Speaker 1So I had I'm telling my girl, I'm like, Yo, what make up person?

Speaker 2Man, you know what I'm saying, wear your wear your outfice more back then, Like, you know what I mean, that's a fact.
Speaker 1You can wear that a few times yo.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2Now, don't post it, yo, don't get caught in the picture on the grim with it.
Get it between the in this fucking part.
Oh, I don't got a closet no more.
My ship is crickets right now.
It's like, oh ship, I wore.
Speaker 1This on the part.
Speaker 2Damn I post this on the ground ship in your conscience now you think about it be ship.
Speaker 1I'd be like, oh, I got these new feats and whatever, and I'd be like, I had that on the video.
Can't wear that again.
Speaker 2I'm saying, see what I thought y'all would have changed that, because that was some whack ship.
Speaker 1I felt like from our era we wore watch the video.
Speaker 2If the video ain't dropped yet, I'm wearing it again.
I'm put months between it.
I can't go back to back in the same I put some months.
If it's something that's like stand out, Yeah, yeah, certain.
Speaker 3Ship, I double up like jeans and should I do that back to back?
I don't care about that, But certain pieces you know in your mind like yeah.
Speaker 1I can't do this.
Speaker 3Nigga's too you know what I mean, especially if Nigga's talking about it.
Speaker 1Sweater was crazy.
Speaker 3You know it's over for that sweaterwa It's old for that hoodie, that motherucking all that you can do with a bankroll?
Speaker 1They talking about fucking weather.
Speaker 2One thing I commend y'all on, like I said before, is you know the camaraderie do y'all think?
What do you think being from New York?
What do you think to take to get New York all on the same page, Like you know what I mean, you think the city could come together get money.
Speaker 1Like put it like this.
Speaker 2I was at a show with jeez one time, right, shout out young Jeezy, Jezu my dog, and he said the really shit to me.
My nigga was like, yo, bleak.
A lot of niggas don't fuck with each other, but you know the difference with us in the a He was like, even if we don't like each other, we'll come together get that bag after the bag is made back to fuck you, but we're gonna.
Speaker 1Get that money.
Speaker 2We ain't gonna leave the money on the table, right, And I feel like we need to pick that up.
Speaker 1And why do you think that's ever possible?
Speaker 2Mmm?
Speaker 1Yeah, and no, I think.
Speaker 3A New York nigga attitude is just different than the average person.
So a lot of times after ego go getting away nine times out of ten.
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying.
I'm not speaking me personally.
Speaker 3I don't have no problem working with anybody in New York City, that's me, But I'm talking about as far as as a whole, Like I think it takes more of the top artists in the city to fuck with the artists that they don't really got a name.
I think it takes more of that because you're gonna even saying, you go to Atlanta and that's all you hear on the radio, and you might not know who that artist is, never heard of them, never seeing them, but they keep playing.
It's hot in Atlanta, that's right.
And everybody with it, you know what I'm saying, all the clubs with it.
The DJs that you come to New York and you don't hear New York rate like I mean, no knock to the radios or the DJs, but you're not really it's like a certain hour you get to hear and there's certain DJs that play the town, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2So I feel like that I think it because you know what I mean, a lot of the young boys coming up, they don't fuck with the DJs, like, they don't go to the parties mingle with the DJs because they got their own loop.
Speaker 1They don't feel like they need them.
They created their own loop.
Speaker 3They got their own parties where it's lit, it's sold out as pass the line around the corner.
Speaker 2So now that DJs gotta come to their party, they to make that connection because you, like I said before, you need radio man.
Speaker 1And I feel like there's.
Speaker 2So much money on the table if niggas want to be rich like they say, they all like they dream they are.
You only better, You're only stronger together, So we can't win the war by itself.
Same thing in Philly, My gee, I got so much talent in Philly, and I always felt like Philly shouldn't have been as difficult as New York because it's small.
Speaker 1Small.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
New York, we fucked every borough is probably the sides of Philly.
What I'm saying, real talk.
But y'all segregated like New York, you know what I mean, made it tougher town.
You know what I mean, It's only a select group and get on out of that.
I feel like more chill.
I feel like y'all know state property.
Y'all made the biggest impact coming.
Speaker 1Out of phil and we covered every part of the city.
Speaker 2Each y'all was from you, each part of the city.
Yeah, like I feel like y'all.
That's why everybody that comes through Philly, they gotta grab one of y'all to come out on stage.
Speaker 1You free thing, you know, what I mean.
I just had sparks up here.
Speaker 2Too, man, And that's what I'm saying.
Like, even from you being from New York, mans, so many fucking spinners out of New York just to fucking make your impact that you did, Bro, you gotta feel like yeah, like Bro, it's since I still ask myself.
Speaker 3That's sometimes I still don't what I did, the work I put in, But sometimes I'd be like this, Wow, niggas nicer than me.
Speaker 1It's niggas that.
Speaker 3Never got that light, never got that And I can still pull up on him in the and they still.
Speaker 1Got a thousand balls for me on the spot.
Some new ship.
Yeah, everything today well not just you know, I can't just rap no more.
Speaker 2I feel like I came in just rapping, but I learned quick getting the gym, making image a certain way where they seeing you now it's just a rapper, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3Like, stop drinking and get off the line, Get off this.
Get I stopped.
I got my ship together because I start peeping.
I'm about to be in a light, bro, I'm about to be Cameras is about to be on me.
I don't want to look up on these cameras that's right.

All the licenses they gave out from Canada.
Fucking uh coloradoody know.

Speaker 1The price of a pound is so cheap.
So once they feel figure out, hold on.
It cost me three hundred the greatest pound, and I'm selling it for six hundred dollars and I could sell the same pound for two thousand in New York.
I send all this ship to New York.
So that's what happened.
Speaker 2How to how the streets is just so flooded with so much weed from Kentucky everywhere.
They don''t even flying the wheel without it.
But now now when I get this, somebody, yeah, that's a fact.
Speaker 3Only places I ain't gonna make at nod, gad gay.

Bro like Biga and Queen's for the same way, Bronx for the same Like, I.

Speaker 2I called him to talk about certain artists and that nigga was like, Yo, bleak, like Yo, you know, to you you.
Speaker 1It's regular, this is bro shit.
But you know when you're talking about these niggas this like I'm fucking jay Z Nigga, Like you know what I do in my day, I't fucking what about these niggas, Like, Nigga, you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 2Like I was, like I had to sit there and really think about it, like this nigga could be on the phone discussing billion dollar deals, a hundred million dollar deals, and I'm over here talking about some big stonh this nigga, Like, Nigga, don't call nigga what levels?
Speaker 1Man?
Yes, always levels to ship.
That's a fact.
So that's why when you said.
Speaker 2That, it was like, Nah, I don't want him to think, Yo, he's gonna be calling me about these niggas now, No, I'm not whole.
Speaker 1I'm only calling you about me.
Baby.
That ship went with the rhyme, I ain't gonna finn it's cool niggas.
Niggas it looked like they could high.
I ain't behind that.
Speaker 2We just better have that check.
I'm gonna tell him whole.
We're gonna do it like we dude, yo.
Yeah, yeah, hold on the phone.
Yeah, take him out, bro and them.
You know what I'm saying, drop that bag, get that right?
Yeah, they got that bag.
Speaker 1We could go to We definitely gotta get the dog.
We gotta get it with us.
Speaker 2Niggas want to talk dog and that deposit here goes like, yeah, what I I'm telling y'all, man, take care of the bros.
Speaker 1Man.
Yo.
You see the skip wear nigga talk about he ordered the Jay Voice, order it for the restaurant.
Talk about me.
Speaker 2I want to honey orders the chicken and the lady was like, I don't believe it's jay Z come in.
Speaker 1He was like, bleak, she ain't going for damn.
Why I'm in the car?
Speaker 2Yo.
That ship had me dying by nigga.
The game is crazy.
The skits in and thatt Yo.
Do y'all see I just seen you on the with Jim and the Man shout out gym fab may know my guys.
Yeah, man, how would rap about it?
Y'all started one as a unit.
Yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 1That's dope.
Speaker 3Man, that's gonna be that's dope.
It's for me for like I feel like I'm you know, I'm the young and at the the.
Speaker 2Group just just important, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1But I'm also to them as well, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3It's sure this whole ship for me be dope because like I feel like I'm still the young and still learning, you know what I mean, and I get to do different ship.
I mean, whether it be the music, whatever it be, like that's right.
I feel like I'm supposed to be at one thing.
Speaker 2Got one piece of advice, I would say that all the young guys getting money now, man, please man, invest your money wisely, please invest, make moves because I never thought about the game stopping.
I never thought about Rockefeller being over.
Speaker 1So when they.
Speaker 2Pulled the rug from under us, you know the magic trick, when they pulled the tablecloth and the glasses is still standing like nothing happened.
That's how I felt.
When Rockefeller ended.
Speaker 1It was like I didn't feel it shift, but it shifts.
Speaker 2You know what I'm saying.
And when it did, I wasn't prepared.
I was, so I always said to myself a familiar nigga, the next.
Speaker 1Time I get a look out, I'm acquiring.
Speaker 2Businesses all day, because if it ever stopped, you never want your incomes to stop.
So that's my word of advice is like whatever you love, bro, I don't care what kind of business it is.
And like, don't be the guy too trying to chase one hundred percent of businesses.
One hundred percent of a business is a fail business.
Anything you own one hundred percent of is not making no money.
Like you have to break bread with everybody.
So this injured, you know what I'm saying, Like people who look down on percent of me shit, give me one percent.
That one percent turned into a billion.
That's a hundred million for me.
I'm good, you feel me so.
Speaker 3And I got deal with distresses of having one hundred percent of it.
Speaker 1And running it like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2You don't have to run the business day to day, but definitely get your portfolio up and invest your money man like, because y'all y'all making way more money than we did for a show, bro.
Like and my heyday, top top day, the most I ever got paid for a show was about thirteen bands.
Y'all laugh at that.
Y'all ain't just hitting the stage today, niggas.
I been here a getting sixty seventy thousand, Like, huh, nigga, I take your kids to school tomorrow.
Speaker 1You give me fifty mins you hit the stage.
Speaker 2Don't worry.
You got a babysit of them all.
Your wife he could go out.
I got it, straight up, straight up fifty send the kids to the crib.
Don't worry.
Disney right down the block.
Speaker 3But you know what, or for that what you're saying, I wonder what was the shift?
Because back then I felt like you made more money off your album going platinum whatever.
Speaker 1Not necessarily not to recoup first.
Speaker 2So a lot of niggas went to the studio, was ordering clicko Christyle.
Speaker 1That came back on that going to Chris Roof.
Speaker 2So all that studio budget was hitting bro like niggas blew millions.
Like I remember looking at a budget the way Guru looked at me and was like, bleak, you fucking bugging We gotta finish this in the crib.
Ain't no way we could finish this in baselin.
We don't have no more money, Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1Budgets was way bigger though, yes, we.
Speaker 2Didn't think about the recoupment, you know what I mean.
So when you recouped a lot of people never.
Speaker 4Spent well over one hundred thousand for no Better Love video.
Speaker 2Look just for the video now niggas hopping out with just the one nigga with the rag on the blacks and that viral straight like, but niggas used to sit and wait to watch that video, whether it was Rap City, whatever it was on.
Like they're doing the same thing with you.
You know, barble shots and how many niggas cribs I go to.
Speaker 1They just got rocking all yeah, just rocking all day.
Ship ship.
So I hit you one day and told you, like, you got some ship working ship all day, just rocking.
That's what I'm saying.
I see you all.
Speaker 2Over the place, by nigga.
You got videos with everybody everywhere, Nigga.
You fucking working.
Nigga.
Can't say you ain't working und you got over probably fucking lady.
Speaker 1Word up.
Speaker 3That's the new that's the new ship though.
You gotta stand.
I mean the phones, Bro, they on them phones man, so.
Speaker 2And I'm glad you got my bro working because Seeping a quiet assassin.
Speaker 1He just wasn't seeing been one of my top, my top for forever.
Bro.
Speaker 3And the funny part with me and him, we've been locked in for years, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1The chemistry better than that.
It was finally like all right, what we're doing.
Speaker 2He did a lot of work, he just didn't shoot a lot of videos.
Speaker 1That's a fact.
Speaker 2You dropped a lot of projects and you ain't capitalize on the videos audience.
Speaker 4Now, as you can see, me and Bro shot majority of the shooting.
Speaker 1We shooting.
That's done because nigga want you know what I mean?
When I learned now Bro.
Speaker 3The youth, the youth is is on these bro like so they like our age and older.
Speaker 2Is listening to what we're actually saying.
Anybody else want to see something, you know what I mean?
They want to see They want to see what we got on.
You want to see who we are, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1They want to see the holes in the video.
Speaker 3They want to They just want to see the vibe watch that.
Speaker 1You know.
Speaker 2I mean.
Speaker 3So, you're a fool at this day and age if you dropping music and you don't got a visual to follow it, you gotta The visual is just as important as the audio.
Speaker 2To me, sometimes it's more important, probably more that sometimes it is because it's a lot of artists today like you were saying like you like in my day, you had the people like I heard this both from damn you know what I mean, God bless both of them.
DMX and Earth got it man, like they both with two people on it, like you trying to write the best rhyme that nobody gonna remember.
They only gonna remember the hook.
So it ain't about being the nicest, you know what I'm saying.
So that's one thing that in my mind, like bleak fucking just get the verses done, know, just the hook band get the verse?
Speaker 1Well.
Speaker 4We then set it off and uh Swiss was telling us like, yo, just do eight bars versus.
Speaker 1It's like any time the hook big, like you always want to hurry up and get back to that hook, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3Yet Tom up too crazy, that's what they're going to sing along to producers to work with, like everybody, Yeah, you got a favorite producer you love.
Speaker 1Working with, like you fair, we would want to work with.
Speaker 3I feel like I worked with the majority of my favorites besides.
Speaker 2Like Alchemists, get that's crazy, you know it's crazy.
Speaker 3I've wrapped on the Alchemists beat, But I was a feature somebody else me and we ain't got to sit together everybody that I got what I got with the majority of the people I wanted to work with, you.
Speaker 1See, like a maybe like a doctor Dre, yeah, Dre for sure.
For sure, Timbo.
I got with Timbo on Survival.
We did a joint.
I got to go down there, came with him.
Yeah, that's dope.
Swiss was always one of my favorite producers.
Speaker 2Swiss of course the zi yeah switch to give you that ship and he coach you through it too.
Speaker 1You ain't leaving Swiss without nothing, for sure.
Speaker 2But that's how y'all got set it off because I went down there and made like that and Swisch, yo, bro, it's so crazy like that the song and each verse which wrote out of sync.
The third verse was the first verse I wrote, you know what I mean, and the first verse was the last verse I wrote, and Swiss was like sound first switch and do this one and do this and then when I said the slow down and this, he like, yo, put that in every verse.
Speaker 1I'm like, ill got you.
And that's how we made the record.
Speaker 2And I remember going to the office because that's when they was playing their records too.
Speaker 1When dropped out.
Speaker 2But at the same time, and it was like, Yo, we're looking for a fucking single.
