This is your boy, E-C-E-O, and I'm here with the lovely, amazing official, Miss Jamaica. What's going on? None of my damn. Man, hey man, hey man, say man. We got a special guest in here today, man. This guy right here, man. You know, entrepreneur, man. This boy right here, man. Hey man, every time I seen him, he was getting to it. That made me know I had to get mine together, man. My guy, Radio Raheem, is in the building. What's going on, baby? What's going down, what's going down, man. Definitely a pleasure, definitely a pleasure. You know what I'm saying? Love the set up, it's my castle. Well, you know, you've been checking me out for a minute. I've been checking you out, you know what I'm saying? Like, hey man, I'd love to see you, man. Like when I would see you in the airport or wherever I would see you, it was always grinding, man. And then you always had something to offer. So that's a good thing, you know? Absolutely, man. You know what I'm saying? You've been doing your thing for a good couple decades. Man, thank God for it, right? Yeah, nah, that's beautiful. Man, that's beautiful. And I say that, man, because I be like, man, you know, the real go-getters in the city, they gonna know who each other are. No matter what, they gonna know they done cross paths. You know what I mean? Like, I seen him, you know? I might not be stepping the way you stepping, but we stepping and we making moves. We been stepping in the same direction, you know what I'm saying? We getting to the payola, that's the ultimate goal. That's the one thing we been doing. Yes, sir. So I know you have to go with it, here she goes. I wanna know about Radio Rahim before you were Radio Rahim. Before I was Radio Rahim. Tell me as far back as you can remember, growing up, mom and dad, siblings, the whole works. All right, well, I was born in Japan. So my mom is Japanese, my dad's black, and we moved to America when I was like six or seven. Do you remember anything about Japan? Yeah, I definitely do. You know, Japan, I remember, I mean, it was just, I don't know, it was just life out there, you know? It was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful, the people was always nice to me. Can you speak Japanese? Speak a little bit, not too much, you know? Like, you know, just enough to get cussed out by my mom. But how was it being raised in a multicultural home? I mean, it was definitely different. You know, I always felt kind of out of place, you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, we grew up on my dad's side, you know, with all the black family, we stayed in Chicago, we stayed in Dallas, and I went to high school and middle school out here in Dallas, so, you know, definitely got to see what Dallas was about. So it was different, it was different, you know? And then like, when I first came to America, it was like I was in the hood, then I was in the country, then I was back in the hood. And then it was like, the country life was, was like chasing farms and chickens and running around, catching animals and stuff. The hood life was like dodging bullets, not knowing when I'm gonna get robbed, walking down the street, you know? So it was like a little bit of both worlds. But it made you the person that you are today? It did, it did. A weird motherfucker. Who was hard on your mom or dad? Dad. I don't think really neither, you know what I'm saying? It was kind of like, they just let me run wild for a while, you know? You an only child? I am the only child. That's why I write to the niggas' ball. The niggas' ball, bro. That niggas' ball, I just see it right there. The niggas' ball, man. No, no, no, everybody ain't got elephants, niggas. So don't try to play me. You don't talk about, like. The elephants didn't come with the spoils. They came from the hustle, you know what I'm saying? Definitely had to hustle to buy me some eggs. Tell me something that your dad instilled in you as a young child. Well, I wouldn't really say it's like a dad because I didn't have my dad growing up. You know, it was like more like, she had different dudes. Okay. I didn't really learn nothing from the different dudes she had, you know? But I definitely learned things from like the OGs and Streets and they like really installed, like, you know, you just gotta protect your home, protect your castle, you know, and just make sure that your family's good. So I always made sure I did that. But you knew your dad, right? No, I didn't find out about him until I was like 13. Really? How did that go? I mean, it was like, it was like, you know, trying to find out that she was adopted and all of a sudden like, hold on, wait a minute, you my mom, I don't know what else y'all done lied about all these dudes. So you met him at 13 for the first time? I first found out about him, you know, I met him and I was like, yeah, this nigga don't look like me. We don't look the same. But mom said that's what it was. Yeah, she said that's what it was. So I had to take her word for it. I tried to look through some birth certificates and I didn't see no names on there. So I was like, I don't know what's going on. So did you hold a chip on your shoulder? Because of, you know, the fact of how all that went down. That's exactly what I was doing. It definitely turned me up. It definitely put me on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. I was like, man, fuck everybody. Yeah, yeah. It's gangster life from now on. No, no, I get it, I get it. Cause I was, I've been there, man. Once you, even the divorce thing, my parents divorced at nine. So it kind of hit you the same way when you split the house up. It's like this nigga here over here with my mama, my dad ain't here no more nigga, what? You know what I'm saying? Everything seemed like it come crumbling down when you started seeing those rough patches and hitting those potholes in life. You know what I'm saying? Nothing else matters after that, you know? It's like, shit, I don't know what's going on. You can't believe what nobody say after that. But was you protective over your mom and stuff? I know you had to be coming up like you did. I mean, I don't know. It was really like no love at the house, you know? Really? I never told them she loved me. That's the way it be though, man. Cause somebody, her parents probably never told them. They loved her. But also the culture has something probably to do with it as well too. Asian culture, it's different, it's really hard. It's different. It ain't really hard. Especially on boys. Yeah. So, but how do you think that, did that, did you do what it's supposed to do? Did it work, nigga? I mean, it definitely made me ruthless. Okay then. You know what I'm saying? But when I had my child, like my daughter, like it was just a weird feeling, you know what I'm saying? I didn't really know how to love her. I didn't really know how to love her. I didn't really know how to tell her I loved her because it felt weird. Yeah. And did you break through? Yeah. That's the dope part. Somewhere. Somewhere. We working on it. We working on it. We're working progress. Nah, that's good, man. And this is how I go down on Boss Talk 101. We come through like that. Straight to it. Well, no, we definitely want to know. I think the big thing about us is that other people will hear your story and they can feel the energy and it helps the people to come through different situations. Like my daddy never told me he loved me, he didn't hug me either, nigga, you ain't by yourself. But your mama did? Yeah, my mama, she really was mean because I was selling dope. I ain't gonna lie to you. You know what I'm saying? My mom had to bail me out of jail a couple of times, you know? She found drugs under my bed, drugs under my bed. Yeah, that's how I go down when you're really your go-getter. See, we got the same kind of issues, you know what I'm saying? Like when you come up from a place where you come from nothing, like I was trying, you know, I came up in the crack era. So, you know, like, it's like, I was like, damn, they out here didn't even, it was easy. I ain't gonna lie. It felt like, damn, like I was a superhero in the hood. I ain't gonna lie to y'all. When you walk to the corner store, you getting candy and crack at the same time. Yeah, everything. Whatever you want, right there. So, really like when you think about just coming up and making it out, did you see a lot of people, you know, you lose their life and stuff to happen in the hood? All the time. I mean, shoot, I saw two of my close friends murdered in front of me. See what I'm saying? Yeah. And how did that affect you? Fuck me up. Yeah? Yeah. But it didn't make you get out of that lifestyle? Nah, it didn't. It just made me feel like I just gotta be more protected and really watch my surroundings a lot more because we kinda like walked into a situation, you know, when it was bad. Yeah. You get used to it. I hate to say it. You really do. You be kinda immune to shit, you know? Shit that you should never really be immune to, you be immune to it. Y'all, that's a dead body, all right? Oh, that's nigga laying on the ground. Like he laying on the ground, I'm about to go. You just leave him there. I done been there, nigga. Like I gotta go, nigga, I got to go. Like you see two or three people then, my partner, and I tell this story all the time, my partner got out of my car. I don't know if I told it on here before, and stabbing it in the head with a screwdriver. And yeah, yeah, it happens. Like you can go down just like that. And you right there in the midst of it. What you gonna do? Drive. No, we just, the fight had just took off, really. You know, but I'm just saying, but you hear about stuff the next day and you be like, damn, you know, you know it was something that you was kinda close to. Or you think it could have been you? Or it could have been you. I done been at different clubs where, and I know I told this story I was at the club and I was trying to pull my Cadillac in the front, because nigga ain't Big Mike over at Bobby's. He always just punk everybody. He had the gun on him, everything. Nigga move the car, nigga, get out the way. He trying to get me in there. You know, I'm running things. Nigga get him in there, you nigga move. And the nigga walked up to him and killed him, shot him like five times and the girl got shot in the neck with a straight bullet. Yeah, I remember that night. My nigga Mike, man, RIP the Big Mike. I don't understand Dallas used to be the Wild Wild West. Like it wasn't really no safe town like the way it is now. Like it was really dangerous. At every side on each side of Dallas it was dangerous. That's cause most of the time they pointed gun and they beefing on Instagram and YouTube and they not really beefing in the streets like that. They hard on IG, hard on Instagram. These niggas hard, they point the gun, nigga, I come get you. Nigga don't make me come get you. Yeah. So I wanna know how old were you when and what happened to make you turn like your hustle into a legal hustle? Got arrested and I went to the military. And then I was in the Navy. So when I got into the military kind of straightened me out and really gave me the discipline I always needed cause I never got it at home. And it just kind of showed me like a better way. Why did you go to the Navy? Did somebody try to get you in there? Or you just say, you know what, I'm gonna go. I mean, around the time it was like a program where it was like go to jail or go to the military. And I was like, let me just go with the... Thank you, Slick. Ray there, you thank you, Slick. You really trying to tell us the Antoine Fischer story, nigga, don't try to play me, nigga. That's what it said like when I watched it, I was like, damn, is that me? This shit is crazy. But I'm gonna get in, well, I don't know. I just mess with you. I relate a lot to that movie. I bet you did, man. Except for me wasn't a mother, it was the father for him. Yeah, well, I had my cousin, when he watched the baby boy, it hit him a certain way. Yeah, cause you know, these niggas coming in the house, you know what I'm saying, nigga, baby boy. Yeah, sometimes a movie will hit you, nigga, and make you say, damn, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, man, this nigga did the same thing. You seen it in there, didn't you? I was getting in trouble. I was going to mass all the time. I was like, yo, this nigga ain't gonna make it through the military. How long did you stay in there? Three years, three years. That's dope. You stayed a good while. I stuck it in there for a little while. Went to war, you know? You did. Yeah, they sent me off to war. You both be getting a check now. Yeah, nigga. Crazy thing is, I end up on the military mode. You damn. How is that possible? They gave me a bonus and it was like, since you didn't complete the whole thing, you gotta pay us back that bonus. You both play crazy right then. You don't get it. Yeah. You're supposed to be like, I don't remember nothing. I did, there's a gun smoke over there. I hit it. The government want their money. They gonna get it one way or another. So I was like, shit, just put me on a payment plan. I'ma get you out back. Man, but you know, the one thing dope about you, none of that stuff helps you back, man. You a go-getter. So every time you look around, you like a cat with nine lives or you drop him off the roof and he just keep falling to his feet. I don't know how many I got left, but I'm running on a fee right now. I'm running through a bunch of them. So restaurant, I'm hearing that you got a restaurant about to open, or did you have a soft opening? We just did the soft opening this weekend. It was dope. Everybody came through, show love, and we're getting ready for the grand opening on the 26th. What's the name of it? Bistro 808. Bistro 808. Kind of why a restaurant. Well, in the military, I was a cook. Oh. So I was like, you know, when I get out the military, I'ma own a restaurant, but I end up owning a studio first and did the studio for like a good 12 years. And then around this time, I just found the good opportunity to get on a restaurant and I made it happen. Yeah. And all the 12 years, you would always cook and everybody was like, your food is amazing. No, I actually told myself I'm never gonna touch a pot in a pan again when I got out in the military, cause I was traumatized. Cause I was like, yo, these motherfuckers had me cooking for 600 people. All the time. These two cooks. And I don't even know how that's even physically possible, but we had these big bowls and this big spoon and we had to like stir it up like a witch trying to cook for everybody. And I was like, man, I'm never doing this shit again. I got war wounds. I got burn marks. My finger done got cut open. Just messing with that cooking. Yeah. And then you cooking on a boat. So things are swinging and flying. You got nice flying. Did you get sea swag? You get your sea legs like after the first week, you know, you just gotta start, even things out. But you definitely rocking and rolling all the time. So what are we cooking at this restaurant? It's international cuisine. Jamaican food? We do got like a little spin to it. The head chef there is a chef from the Caribbean. So he's from the Virgin Islands. So he brought a lot of his dishes down. And you know, we've been like spicing things up. So we'll have like special things like lobsters and waffles. We'll have certain things like catfish and waffles. You know, but then we'll add like our own special flavor on top of it that you ain't never had before. And the sauces is what gets you. Well, I'll be, I'm definitely gonna, we gonna be over there. Wasn't it at the 20 what? The 20. I should have been at the soft open. Now I didn't know. We didn't know about it. Oh, but no. Oh, but I'll be there. We locked in. Yeah. I'll be there. And you have an Instagram and all of social media already? Yeah. It's a Beast Show 808 Dallas. So you just lock that in. That way you can see everything that we doing. Make sure y'all follow that. Check that out. That's dope. I love ads. Cause let me tell you, I love to see those ads, especially when they have the beautiful picture of the food and you're just like, that looks so good. I make my notes. Okay. I need to go see that restaurant. I need to go see that restaurant because the pictures is what make you. I need to figure out how they get those ads, Pop Dog. Cause as soon as you think of something, it just pops up. That's the weirdest thing in your house, my neighbor. This is in your house, man. Baby, listen to this. I think they in my brain. This is in your house, man. I'm walking down the aisle. This is in your house, man. Should I pick up Two-Pace? Listen to this. Two-Pace pops up. You calling Siri? You talking to Lex? Them niggas is in your house, man. Listen, man. I don't know what they doing. They in your house. We tested all of the time. Bro, I said pillar pillars pop up every damn where. I'm telling you they in your house. No, no, no. You don't want to believe me. There's apps on your phones. Look, I'm going crazy now. See these folks that run me crazy. Our daughter told us, our daughter told us, you know like whenever you download an app or you download anything on your phone, they'll always tell you accept whoever reads all of that. You probably never read it. You give them permission for so much on your cell phone and we don't know because we don't read it. We just say, okay, accept because we want the app. Accept. You ain't lying, you ain't lying. You accepting your life. Yeah, well, only thing, if that app will do what I needed to do, edit, make a collage, nigga, I'm accepting it. Yeah. If that all going to give me to be able to make a good video, I'm accepting it all. I don't know what else it's going to do in my house, but I'm accepting that thing. I don't care. I don't care. I just got to get my picture out so that you can see me on the ground. You're starting your life away. You just going to accept it. You doing too, son, I'm trying to. You just don't talk about it, nigga, you doing? You're like, I got to get that app, man. How you doing it? I ain't gonna allow a little bit more skeptical to you. You really don't, you don't have. I bet you I picked your phone up right now. You got about four or five of them apps. One, nine, nine. Some of them that I don't even probably use, you're like, I had to have that, what? Talking about apps, have you done an app for your restaurant yet? That's dope. I haven't, I haven't. I never even thought about that. I got to do, man. Because everybody's doing that now. Let me tell you. App for the restaurant. Yeah. And everything is, because there's a cookie shop that just opened up in Mesquite somewhere. I didn't even know about it until one of them ads came up on social media. And I'm like, oh, grand opening is right up the street? And they opened until 12 midnight. Never heard of a cookie shop that opened until 12 midnight. But anyway, so you went under, you know, you click on it, it takes you straight to the app. You have to go to the app. Okay. Not even a website anymore, to the app. And then you gotta download that. Yeah. But that's the same way that even like Vlad, when our show went viral and Vlad and Will started picking it up, you go, you have to go click, it goes straight to their website. You know what I mean? So everybody doing things to try to control the narrative, man. Now let me ask y'all a question. Go ahead. What made y'all start this? This is like, you just popped up out of nowhere with this. First thing, I see you on the plane selling clothes and we going to Magic and Agenda together. And now I see you got the podcast popping, you got celebrities pulling love, like, you know, you're doing your thing. Thank you. But the reason we done it, cause I like to talk, I always like to talk. You do. So that's the, that was the whole game. Like I'm good at talking. Yeah. I knew I was good at talking years ago. Like. And selling. And selling. Good at talking and selling. I'm one of the best. I mean, I did, I got records on selling stuff in certain amount of days and time. So I was like, man, you know, with the, with COVID coming in and the way things was looking, I had to find a way to be successful in the midst of, you know, in the midst of everybody not going nowhere. So in my mind, I'm like, niggas ain't coming in those stote, niggas got masks on, they scared to go outside. So I said, man, we're going to do a podcast. You remember, I was like, man, we're going to find a way to get these niggas up in the stove. So, and so it worked, right? So that was the whole game. So, and but then when I did it, my partner that played for Philadelphia, he called me. He was like, Baltimore, he played for the Ravens. He was like, man, you good at that, man. Damn, you supposed to been doing that all your life. Like you look good doing this, what you should have been doing. So I got them calls like a lot, right? Like everybody kept saying the same thing. Like, damn, that's what you supposed been doing. I watch you every day. Then you start getting people from Africa and all over the world just start saying, hey, you doing a good job. You know what's funny about it? I think God put us through a lot of different things to get you where you need to be because you look at your life and you're like, I had to go through this to prepare me for where I'm at right now. You know what I mean? So I really think that that's one of the main reasons. And then my wife, you know, they, oh, damn, she beautiful. So everybody just, and then it's dope. Y'all get to do it together. And we kicking it. Like, it's fun. You know what I'm saying? Like we ain't, we doing what we do. We having a good time, man. So everybody take notes, y'all. Make sure y'all do this with your girlfriend or your wife, start some shit, you know what I'm saying? But we used to always hear it, even with the clothing store, they're like, how can you run a business with him? Why don't you do it by yourself? Or why don't he do it by yourself? How can y'all work together? Y'all always hear people say, I can't work with my husband or my boyfriend. We'll get into it all the time. We hear it all the time. Yeah, and it's- I like best friends. Yeah, we be kicking it. Like, it's a chemistry. Like we like to hustle. She'll hustle. She gonna go get it. She'll try to sell some plates or anything. If I'm gonna watch y'all, I'll be like, nah, we ain't doing that, dude. Let's turn the cameras on you. You got some questions for you, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but that's the game, man. Like people be like, where y'all from? We wanna hear y'all's story. We hear that all the time. But at the end of the day, man, it's a blessing to be here. Really, God got us here. I ain't gonna lie. My kids got to grow up in this store and the other stores that we've had. And they basically know how to run these cameras. They just quit on me. You just missed them by two months ago. They used to be here all the time. They quit. They didn't care nothing about the road. They didn't care nothing about little running. You wasn't paying them enough. They didn't care. They didn't know. They get money. They don't give a damn about no money, man. You wasn't paying them enough. Bro, you can pay them. They didn't even care about fruit snacks no more. They spoiled, bro. They said, no more fruit snacks, pretty much from you. They ain't don't give a damn about the money. You didn't even need a spoil, bro. They've been making money here a long time. So they think they don't really, they can make money when they want to. They come up here, make the little money and leave. But I'm locking the doors now. But you know what I think about too, with that question you asked, but the true meaning of an entrepreneur is you always find different avenues. Different avenues. You do the same thing. That's true. Even if you mastered one and you have that one, you gotta turn and create another one and then another one. Nah, that's true. That's true. If you come to my studio, you'll see it's about seven different ways of making money on that one. Maybe more. How many is it? It's a good 20, right? It's a good 20 ways to make money at the studio. Let's talk about that studio, man. Let's talk about the startup. When you first started, how difficult was it to establish that and make people believe that you were serious about it? And why did you choose that avenue at that time? Well, yeah, when I first started, I was thinking about moving it to Atlanta, doing it in LA and I actually had big investors that was willing to pull up a lot of money for it. But I really wanted to build something close to my daughter because I just had my daughter around that time. So she was around two or three years old. So I was like, let me build something that she can enjoy and she can grow up in. I made her a little office in there and we just started building it. And it just kept growing and growing and growing. But I always wanted to keep it safe because studios are the most dangerous place. Definitely. You could be at it. Yeah, yeah. So I made sure. Bulletproof windows? Not bulletproof windows, but it was definitely cameras on every block, on every corner, every section of the studio. It's cage doors, everything's locked up. So you can see a person coming from a mile away. But at the end of the day, it was just something I felt like Dallas needed. Dallas need culture. When you think about Dallas, what is our culture? Like what would really Dallas stand for beyond the Cowboys? And not too many people could say anything. So it's like you gotta have more things here that's developing the culture and just keeping everybody together and bridging gaps and just bringing unity in the city. What were some of the roadblocks that you hit though, like early on? I mean, you always got the hate. You always got the people that say, I could do what you do or the people that say, let me take this idea from you and take this idea and then they try to duplicate the idea. But I've had that studio for 12 years. Yeah. So for me to be there 12 years, it must be doing something. Doing what you're supposed to be doing. So when you think about just other studios that have popped up the competitors, what did you feel like you stood? Like was it a competition at any time or was there any competition? Well, honestly, I never thought of anything being a competition because like everything I do is like in-house and I mess with a lot of people like outside of Dallas. So my goal was try to bring people from outside to Dallas and then that way they can in a mean with a lot of the Dallas people. Because when people think of Texas, they don't think of Dallas. They think of Houston, you know, anytime when I'm in Atlanta and be like, hey, you been to Texas? Oh yeah, I've been to Houston. That's what they say. But they'll never say I've been to Dallas. So it's like, okay, we need to change that. Who are some of the big artists that then showed up at your studio? Man, I mean- Some of the big ones. Just within the last year, we done had Young Dofter, Keith Blockdale, Maree, we done had Mooney Lone, we done had NLE Chopper and we done had Cameron, we done had Dipset, we done had Post Malone, we done had Dave's Loaf. Damn. Yeah, we done had a lot of- Some heavy names. Yeah, we done had a lot of air bidders. Well, no, no, this guy been working a long time. So I remember when I seen it, I was like, man, where you going to studio? He's like, I don't want a studio. No, damn. I got that on tape, you know, until now. Oh yeah. Now, one thing I did was I always keep some cameras around if you really think about it. Yeah, I always had a camera in somebody's- Somebody's holding the camera around somewhere. That's the way you have to be, man. I like that. Because you like, okay, something special might be about to happen. Like, I can pull that. Soon as Chris was over here, I shot out Chris Justice and he was like, you know, I went to a restaurant, this dude named Radio, I say Radio. I say, I pull up my phone, I start flipping through, I say, I don't know, Radio, this Radio, I hit the button, you popped up me and you was talking, you know what I'm saying? You remember I made a video for it. And I was like, he's like, yeah, I was like, damn. I said, man, give me his number or go. He said, I'm gonna go over that tonight because he really felt, he been with me ever since he was a kid, he been around me. So it's like, he'd say, I'm going over there. And did he come over there or did he didn't come back? I think he did come over. Yeah, yeah, Chris, Chris, something else, but he's like security, so he always working. Yeah, man, the studio is crazy, you know, it's 5,000 square feet, so it's a bunch of things going on there. 5,000 square feet is big. That's huge. Did you bill it out or was it- We built it out from the ground up, man. It was a big eggshell. Wow. Yeah, if you're going on YouTube, you never satisfy life and you just grow all the way down. Like you'll see like the beginning stages and us like building out the studio and putting up the walls and putting up the floors, like everything. So was it contractors or was some of your main, like any of the guys that helped you from the beginning have been with you throughout the whole time? Yeah, it was a lot of the people that was here with me the whole time, like my right-hand man, which is the one that I kind of like did everything with and he was the first person I put on the team, which is Ian, Ian Brown. And that was like my right-hand man, but he passed away like five years ago. So, you know, that was a big hit for me and it damn near took me out. You know, I ain't gonna lie. Like it made me like damn near quit everything and like go back to the streets. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, fuck all this shit. But something kind of like led me to be like, you know, don't do that just yet. You know, try something else. And it just persuaded me to move to Atlanta. And when I moved to Atlanta, like I got to see what teamwork really looked like. I got to see how like everybody really fuck with each other and like really build with each other and like just do like what Dallas is supposed to be doing. And once I saw that, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna get Dallas another go. Take that blueprint and take it home. Yeah. And I literally like left Atlanta, came back and like as soon as I came back, COVID hit. So then it was like, okay, this was perfect timing because I could have been out there during COVID, but came back, started building up my team. Now we got the dream squad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, shout out to the dream squad, man. Everybody that's on the team, man, holding it down. Yeah. And a lot of these people here, man, these are the main reasons why, you know, I really wanted to come back, you know what I'm saying? And wanted to really make this happen. And they helped me a lot, you know, mentally, spiritually, you know, physically, financially, just to really like be motivated to do this. Yeah, yeah, you gotta have a good, strong team with you or back in you or you back in them. However you go, you gotta have the right group of people with you because without it, it makes it way more difficult to even, you know, my team, most of my family ain't gonna lie, my kids, my wife and you've seen that throughout the years and a couple of cats. I got a couple of niggas that you really won't see on this camera, they ain't coming up for a nigga, but don't get it twisted. But we cool, you know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, it is good to have a good team with you, man, and that's a proud little one. So how was Atlanta, like when you say, what studio down there stood out, you know, shout out to Zay Tobin and the niggas that be hit me back on the DM. You are the niggas, y'all know y'all is. We're trying to ignore the truth, nigga. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, how was it down there? Nah, it was dope, man, you know, I got to see Outkast, you know, Big Boy and his studio. I got to see, I think it's a game. Got to see quality control, you know, got to see a lot of like big studios out there and like see how they team really work together and just really like break bread with each other, you know? And the biggest difference I saw is like, you know, people in Dallas, we like to fight over a hundred dollars. Lily, fight over a hundred dollars. I kill you over a hundred dollars, you know what I'm saying? But like, they're trying to get a hundred dollars of a hundred percent and break off nobody. In Atlanta, they're trying to get 10 million dollars and get 10 percent and break off everybody. Everybody, you know, to where everybody in the camp is millionaires. But you'll have someone in Dallas, where they'll get like 10 million dollars and be like, all right, I'm gonna give a couple hundred dollars to these people right here. Exactly, so how do we change that narrative? You know, I'm one of them big guys that come at you with them. How do we change that? I mean, I feel like the biggest thing is a structure, you know, organization, education, you know, just really teaching people how to do business because, you know, Dallas 30 years ago was a country city. Yeah. You know, it was really country-minded. You know, a lot of this was farmland, you know, it wasn't as developed as it was now. So, you know, I feel like we just gotta kind of create the generation to where it's like, all right, now let's teach the generation on how to break bread with each other. Yeah. Because nobody really taught us. Even when we was hustling, like, what was we hustling for? Yeah, no, I just had a lot of cars. I didn't even buy a house. You see? So we was hustling. 100,000 in the roof, nigga. No car, nothing else. Let me quit talking, these cameras. But nigga didn't have no, yeah, mama just mad. Why you got 10 cars in your, nigga? I don't care, nigga. And I ain't got that. I was the same way, you know? We didn't know. You went from 10 bikes to 10 cars. 10 cars. Just doing something because we, but we were hustlers. It was endless. But we didn't really just, I didn't know, I didn't know what to do with that. I just felt like I was a man, nigga. I pull out, I pull out $5,000 to buy a pen and piece of candy. Nigga, I'm crazy, nigga. You see? But in Atlanta, I feel like their OGs taught them instead of going by 10 cars, let's go by 10 benesys. That's dope. Investing. And let's invest in the people around us because the people around us are professionals. You know what I'm saying? Because they actually went to school out there. There's a lot of, you know, black colleges out there. So they all educated. They all got to understand like, all right, this is what I went to school for. Now I just need the funding. So the dope boys got the funding. They put up the money and they be like, all right, you want that beauty salon, boom. All right, you want that store, boom. All right, you want the studio, boom. Now let's do the Benesys. So everybody's working together, breaking bread with each other to where now everybody's pulling up with their own cars. But you say that, but then a lot of this stuff happened also with the music, the entrepreneurship. A lot of that was dealing with the music and with the 360 deals these niggas was getting. They was mad about the 360 deal, but these niggas were getting money. It was a bunch of that happening as well. And so they, how did that play a part in it? Cause we know it happened because a lot of money get divved out. These niggas were getting $30 million from these major universal and all these different, I remember a shout out to my boy, George Lopez here who had gotten, me and him were going to lunch after this time, I'm talking too much, but that's my guy and you know, you get a big bag and then you go out and do different things with it as well. How do you think that played a part in the whole scheme of things? For Atlanta? I mean, I feel like for Atlanta, like, you know, when they were breaking bread with each other, they just had like a different understanding. Like, you know, we're trying to create longevity. You know what I'm saying? We don't want to just run through this money and just go broke or just misuse this money. So even when they did get a 360 deal or a best up deal, they knew what they had to do to get out the deal. So they worked their way out of a deal and they got the fame, they got the money and they were able to like have all their percentage back. So a lot of times like people don't realize like the first deal you sign is going to be the worst deal. For sure. The second deal going to be a little better. Third deal going to be even better. Fourth deal, shit. It might not even really be too much of a deal because now you already on top. Get it. But if you don't get to a deal and you try to just make the deal yourself, that's when you end up working till you like 40 something, trying to fund your music career and nobody's putting you on because every chance that you take, you deny because you learned from the internet, aw, I ain't signin' nobody, I ain't doin' no deal at all. I'm just stayin' independent. Like nah, like someone gotta believe and you can put up money behind you. Because if you ain't got the money, someone gotta put up the money behind you. Same thing with a business. You right. You know, you can't start a business without money. You gotta have. Who you is, either the bank gonna loan you money and the bank got the fucked up deal. They got the bank. How much percentage does the bank get if they gonna use some money to start up a business? They feel to go at you with that interest rate. I took 50,000 from the bank and the bank said I owe them 300,000. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So think about that as your first deal. Yeah. 50, I owe them 300. And I'm like yo, I need to pay these niggas back ASAP because this interest is goin' up. It's goin' up. You know what I'm sayin'? See, that's why I love to like pay it off and say hey, apply the principle, apply the principle. I don't wanna pay this interest because that's where most of the money comes in. So you gotta think the same thing in your music career. Let me go ahead and pay this deal off so that way the person that believed in me first, then we could renegotiate the deal and now the deal's even better. Yeah, I done had a lot of people. I had run in with dude tell me, you crazy man because I feel like if you buy something, you should be able to afford it. So if you got money, you don't need credit. I'll be on it like that. Like nigga, I'ma put up to 50. I'ma put up to 100. But a lot of people, I heard, it was an officer, I was gettin' my hair cut, he was like, you crazy for thinkin' like that. I'm like nigga, when you on two different pages, I feel like a nigga gotta be a boss, he gotta put that money up. And growin' up in America, you don't have credit. You're like nigga, I'ma go get it. You know what I'm sayin'? Just bein' real, that's how you gotta think if you wanna really elevate quick and not, like some people be like, if you get in business, you up for your first three, four years, you ain't gonna make no money, no hell no, I'm not gettin' no business like that. I'm makin' money out the dope. Yeah. You know what? God, I can't think like that cause I'm thinkin' of tryin' to do somethin' great. Niggas, you might be feedin' a dead horse. Exactly. And that motherfucker never come back alive. So, when you talk, you know you wanna add somethin'. So, I've seen you over lookin' everywhere. Isn't it gonna shut up or not? Yeah. So, how do you keep your studio up to date? Like, how often do you update like your equipment? Like, what kind of equipment do you have now? I mean, it's definitely a lot of money, you know. Every few years, you dumpin' out like a cool 100,000, couple 100,000, just buyin' new equipment, buyin' new cameras, buyin' the new software, the new programs, like, you know, you always gotta keep updating what's goin' on and keep expandin', so, you know, it's never endin' game of how much money you puttin' into a studio, but also at the same time, it's just like, you gotta be chasing the bag. So, as long as you're chasing the bag, it don't really matter like how much money you putin' in because you're still gettin' it back. Yeah. Okay, because the reason why I asked that was because when I think about the artists that comes to the studios, especially the bigger ones, they're always lookin' for the ones that are up to date with the high tank, everything. You know what I mean? They want quality. They don't want that, let me be in your closet, recordin', you know what I'm sayin', and put up some eggshells up at the top, you know? They don't want that. They don't want that quality. Make sure that you put in that time and that effort because I always say, if I'm gonna eat at a restaurant and spend $200 for my meal, it gotta look good. Yeah. Not only look good, it gotta taste good. I don't always care about it lookin' good. I'm care about it tasting good. Well, it's a bonus when it tastes good because sometimes you go to a find-down restaurant and shit's been like, you get a little plain like this. Yeah, this time, that always, this is it. And I'm gonna be honest with you. I done seen this for years. You niggas lying, you know that food ain't good. Y'all spend a lot of money for some crap. Yeah. You know what I'm sayin'? Because you get the little bit of steak the more it costs the smaller it gets. Exactly. You payin' for the name, man. You playin' games with me, man. You payin' for the name. The name that's on that building when you walk in, that's what you payin' for. No, I ain't payin' for it. You payin' for the Instagram picture. You payin' for the Instagram picture. That's $200 to snap that. Say so. Don't post it. Let me ask you this, like, so Dallas, you know, you said Dolf earlier, he had been to, how did that affect you, you know, when Dolf passed away? Was he, somebody that you talked to or he just, a business deal? Nah, we actually got to be on stage together. We talked and, you know, and I mean, it's just crazy to see like, you know, he's a lot older, but he's doin' the same thing that I'm doin' in my city. You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah. So it's like, for him to be doin' that in his city and put on for a lot of people in his city and really get it from like the ground up and really like learn business for his people and then to see his people take him out, like, that just kinda like messes you up, be like, damn, like, is that gonna happen in my own city? Man, it's a lot. How do you prevent that, like, you know what I'm sayin'? I always watch your back. You can watch your back as much as you want, but I'm like, hey. I knew you can get here from across the street. Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'? You need to get your scope, you need to scope. You only got a 180 view, you know what I'm sayin'? You can't see what's behind you, you know what I'm sayin'? You need to scope you. You better be prayed up. You better have some faith. That's what the problem is, people don't, you don't understand, you gotta have faith. One day you're here and the next day you're gone, like I've been sayin' on that pimp song and UGK. Listen, I'm telling you right now, you just need to get your house in order. Bein' real, always be one to understand that, yeah, every day is a blessing. Let me take it down one time. I always say you gotta hope for the best and prepare for the worst. There you go. Every day, every time you step out, you gotta be prepared for the worst. So when I'm movin' around, I'm thinkin' like I, I gotta make sure all my equipment is on, you know what I'm sayin'? I got my phone, I got my keys, I got my gun, everything's got everything on me. And then I gotta make sure, where am I goin' today? I go to this place, what threats can I run into? You know what I'm sayin'? So it's like you gotta kinda plan out your day and plan out what you're doin' when you're movin' around. And then also like if you got money, plan out what car you gon' drive. Yeah. Because certain cars gon' track certain attention. You gotta tell me. And don't drive the same car all the time. Exactly. I don't understand why people do that. You know, you gotta realize, man, and I hate this, Dolph had a camouflage lambo and all kinda stuff that says, this is Dolph. And it's very distinctive. Yeah. I mean, everyone in his car is matched. And that's the part where people be like, well, they set him up, well, if you at home and everybody know how you look and it's just somethin', man. That's why I had Chris on the show, the guy that's a security, you know? Like if you got a guy like that with you and they don't even cost that much, this guy's supposed to be watchin' for that and wantin' that kinda smoke. I'm bein' real. And you know you got this kinda money, but you get comfortable in your own place. I mean, you gotta realize, isn't that just him? You got all type of people. When Mo3 passed away, it was a weird look to me. Like damn, how he look, this don't look like it shoulda be even happenin' this way. I'm bein' real, like I see him in the kitchen one way and then like this, it didn't match for me. So you could keep goin' that guy, the great. You remember him? He was out of all my life on hustle, just that dude. He died at the wildfires. He got killed in New Orleans. Or that pork pop smoke. I can keep goin'. Yeah, King Von, like King Von, they scufflin' a little bit, rummin' a little bit, but I'm talkin' about just damn, like it happenin' and you're not expecting it to happen that way. Yeah, that's usually how it happens. The unexpected is how they get you. Yeah, but so you say Dallas, you think you wanna try to pull this thing together and make it to where everybody can look out for each other. That's what I've been tryin' to do, but don't you think that you got people that's in position here in the city that benefits from it being the way it is? Oh, they definitely do. Oh, I got downed in, I got downed in, nigga. I came in with the bloat in it, nigga. It's some niggas that's set in position that if it changes, they lose money, so they don't wanna see it change. Yeah, yeah, what about them niggas? I mean, honestly, you know, them niggas gonna have to figure out somethin' too. But you see what I'm sayin' Hopefully, you know, I say if everybody in the city has somethin' poppin' goin' on and every label in the city was makin' millions, you know what I'm sayin'? Not everybody, but you know, good select few, a good chunk of few, you know what I'm sayin'? All them people that is thriving off of the things that's negative can thrive on somethin' that's positive because now, like, the labels can give you the money what you been lookin' for, you know what I'm sayin'? Because you gotta wait for somethin' bad to happen to make money. Compared to just havin' somethin' good that's always happenin', and now you makin' money all the time. You know, people gotta really look at it like, all right, I wanna get money all the time, not just when somethin' bad is happenin'. Yeah, or when it's happenin'. Or if you have more people who want to see the city come together rather than then they can all come together and overpower that person that's just, you know, wanna stand. Well, what about a label? Like, there is no major label. Yeah. And when you look at Atlanta, you got QC, you got all these different big labels that everybody's just, bam, I hope. Never satisfied. Okay, okay, I'm just sayin'. Never. Oh, so this is where we goin' with it. So how many artists, local artists that you feel is hot, I know Big Ex the Plug mentioned you the other day when he was on my show. Yeah, he's hot. Yeah, that nigga voice deep as hell, that nigga talkin' like, did it? Now, Big Ex the Plug, man, he's doin' his thing, man. Shout out to Big Ex, man, I love his movement, I love what he's doin'. And just the fact that we did a showcase to see who's the hottest artist in the city and he won the showcase at Dallas. And to see him blow up from there, I think that's awesome. Man, I definitely agree with him. And he's humble, he's real. Yeah, now he's cool, laid back, chill. And the dope part about him is when he did pop off, he was like, you know what? I don't wanna work with all these big superstars and these big producers. I wanna work with the people that put me on. I wanna work with the people that put me in that position. So one of our producers that I signed, which is Dialogue, he was like, I'm taking Dialogue everywhere I go. It was like, I only want production from him because he's the reason why I got signed. So why would I go work with Beethoven or, you know. Yeah, yeah, any of those other big names. Any of those other big names, you know what I mean? I like that. So when he did that, I respected him a lot more. That's what made Atlanta like it was, too, that they stuck with their producers and they stuck behind the people who made them who they were. So that's a start. Yeah, that was a start, that was a start. Who else put you in the mind of like a big extra plug that's young, that's coming up and coming right now, in Dallas or in Fort Worth? Well, it's couple people. Male or female. Or in East Texas. Yeah, I mean, it's a couple people I'm looking to sign. You know, and it's a couple people that I have signed. So you know, I've signed Lardi, Lardi B. Okay. You know, she's a female artist. And she's a rapper and a singer, you know? So definitely check her out on her page, Lardi. So when you think about the Dallas movement and you've seen the Dallas Boogie movement and all the other stuff that was going on and it's transpired and moved and moved. So are you good with what the sound of the music is coming out of Dallas? I mean, I feel like the Dallas Boogie, I feel like that's dope. You know, it's cool. Everybody vibe to it. Everybody did the stinky leg, you know what I'm saying? But it's like, it's a short life, you know? The life don't last long. So it's like, what are you gonna do beyond a dance song? Okay. You know, you gotta have a culture, you know? And culture is to me is like, you know, how do you create the Houston culture? Yeah. Houston has a whole culture that has nothing to do about dancing. It has everything to do about what they riding, what they doing. I hear you, dude. Hey, haircut. I ain't never see you with the booty. You ain't never had a booty, nigga? I mean... I ain't never seen you with the booty, nigga. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, I ain't never had the booty, you know what I'm saying? But that was a part of the culture here, right? But I had the swangers, you know what I'm saying? Dallas was known for the swangers. So you had them? Dallas was known for the leather pants. You know what I'm saying? Dallas had the leather pants. You know what I'm saying? The big buckle, heavy belt buckles. Yeah, yeah, that was dope. Yeah. But you know, I feel like we just gotta have something that the world wanna follow. I get it. You know, because like we copied a lot of things that we saw. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when we saw LA rocking chucks. We copied that. We bought chucks. You know what I'm saying? When we saw New York rocking the snapbacks, you know what I'm saying? And they got the Timbs. Should we buying Timbs? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what are we doing in Dallas is making someone in Atlanta wanna go buy what we doing? No, no, no, you 100% right. See? So you know, same thing in Houston. Everybody got the cups, you know what I'm saying? They got the little cup with the little, they got all of them put money into them cups. So now you see everybody's pulling up. You see everybody grilled out now, you know what I'm saying? I feel like Houston started that. Okay. So Dallas just has to like be proactive with the movement and their culture and just really to kind of define like, what are we doing? How are we stepping out, you know? And we can always reinvent the wheel. You know what I'm saying? They ain't gotta be just like what we did in the past. Like, shit, we transited us too. We pioneered us too. So, you know, we just gotta come together and just be like, all right. Shit, I like how these young kids moving right here. You know what? I'm gonna put them on all the way. We're gonna put them on the big stage. We're gonna put them on the big screen so that way everybody can see it, you know? And then, shoot, even movies. Movies help culture move a lot. A lot of movies we watched like Boys in the Hood and things like that. They made us really attracted to that hood. You know what I'm saying? What they were living like and how they were doing. You know? And I feel like Dallas needs things like that. All right, man, that's radio all right evening. Y'all ready? Y'all ready? Real fresh, like. Yeah, yeah, so. We need more of that. So all them film directors, come on down. And the ones in Dallas, let's work. Come on. Man, that'll be good. And that's where everybody's going now, is film. All the comedians, all the rappers. Everybody is branching off into film. And I love the way how 50 has been putting a lot of people onto his film, you know what I mean? 50 is one of my mentors and one of my people I look up to, Robyn Hamlin, Pete Diddy, those people really created their own wave. And in their wave, they made everybody else follow it. That's it, that's it. So I'm trying to do the same thing with my wave. That's why Never Satisfied is such a big thing to me. Never Satisfied. It's huge because it's like, if you satisfied, what's the point in living? I like the name. I want to hear your top three artists of all time dead or alive. Top three artists? Number one. I would say Nas. Nas. Nas. Number two. That boy like Nas. You didn't say Jay-Z, you didn't say Jay Wilde ago when you said people you look up to. You don't really mess with Jay-Z, nigga. I see that. I mean, J.Coup, but Nas was always better, man, you know what I'm saying? I still like his persona, you know, his demeanor, you know what I'm saying? Nas is the one, man. That ain't gonna lie. I'm with you on that. If I'm gonna go to New York, but you know him, I'm in the South, nigga, it's Pimp C all day, but I'm gonna let you do your little thing. For sure. You know what I'm saying? I rock for Pimp C. Go ahead. Number two. Number two, I would say Big Crit. I like Big Crit. Yeah, Big Crit. I like Big Crit. We been trying to, we trying to get him on the show. So, we going at Big Crit. Yo, he's got that classic, like every time you hear him, every time you see him, he's just on that classic vibe, like it just never will die. You know what I'm saying? I like that. Big Crit. Shout out Mississippi. Number three. Number three, I would have to say Drake. Drake. A lot of people say Drake. That nigga like Ice Water nigga, this real crisp and clean with his whole brand. Nah, but the dope. This nigga look like an iPhone when you come in the room. The nigga just real, yeah, presentable. Nah, the dope part about Drake, man, is the way he move. And how he move with his team. How he move with his team. And how he move with his people. Like I actually got to like be in Toronto with Drake. You with Drake? Yeah. Aw, I'm jealous. Now, nigga, shut the damn camera. Nah, girl, you with Drake nigga? Yeah, and like just to see him. Let's talk about that, yeah, yeah. Nah, nah, just to see him in his home city and how his home city treats him. They love him. Like they love him to death. They call him the boy for a reason. They be like, oh, the boy in the building, you know what I'm saying? And like he got his own special section at every favorite restaurant that he goes. Like they got everything set up for him. Like we went to the Toronto game during the playoffs and it was like, you got your own club in here? Like how does Drake have his own club in the stadium? And it's like, this shit is crazy. He got his whole family in there. Everybody's watching the game. They giving out free drinks, free food. I'm like, man, this is dope. Like we need to do this in Dallas. How can I call that Mark Cuban and get on that same level? I used to always argue with people about Lil Wayne and Baby and Drake and him because I felt like, okay, y'all talk about Birdman and all and I get it, but Drake ain't never even had no problem with none of that because that nigga a hustler, man. He ain't even let none of that. They like, oh, they taking this, they doing that and they mad at it. And I was like, man, Lil Wayne had that same opportunity but he was so caught up in his artistry that he wasn't really on his business like that. You gotta be able to be a person that juggles things well to do what Drake doing. You see what I'm saying? Drake definitely figured out the code. He definitely broke the code. But Lil Wayne helped get him to where he at. So I get it, but I'm just saying, I think Lil Wayne a whole different level, man. But they also came from two different eras. They did, they did. Lil Wayne came from an area where it was a lot more rough, you know what I'm saying? You had to do a whole lot more flossing. You know what I'm saying? They invented bling bling, you know what I'm saying? Drake came in the area where it was like, man, all right, you just gotta be saucy, you know what I'm saying? Real sauce. As long as you saucy and you take care of your team, you're cool, you ain't worried about none of that other stuff. Yeah, no, I get it, man. That boy there, he ain't Mr. Beatty, he sure will mess with you woman and all that, yeah. Oh, he'll stay down. One thing they told me, it was like radio. Do not bring anybody you like around Drake. See what I'm saying? If you like her and you think she's somebody special, do not bring her around Drake. See what I mean? She will be gone, she'll be in the back room somewhere and you ain't never gonna see her again. I was like, you know what? Duly noted, you know what I'm saying? Definitely not bringing on around Drake. Man, so hey, man, so what's your handle on IG, man? Do somebody trying to just reach out and say, man, what is, cause I seen the animals, man. That's one thing I wanna ask before we get off here, man. I seen you with a tiger. I seen you with a little thing, a little smaller than a monkey. I don't know what that was. I seen you with snakes. What is the thing with you and these damn exotic animals? Man, honestly, I relate to animals more than I relate to people. Damn. You know, I feel like an animal can lie to me. You know, they always gonna tell me exactly what they feeling, what they thinking. You know what I'm saying? People, they gonna always mislead you, lie to you, you know, take from you. An animal, they ain't gonna do all that. They gonna show you who they really are and if they don't like you, they gonna let you know. They fuck with you, they gonna let you know. You know what I'm saying? What's the craziest incident? Where do you keep all of these? No, I didn't even got a jungle over there somewhere. Yeah, I wanna know where do you keep all of them. Where do you keep the damn animals at, man? I mean, you know, I got a little private century, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, I definitely rescued a lot of animals, you know? Yeah. How many do you have? It's just quite a few, you know, about the same amount you see in the zoo. Then he got lines over there. But like, I'm trying to understand, like, what's the craziest thing that's done happened with the animals? The craziest thing was being on Tiger King. Okay, let's talk about it. You know, we was on Tiger King before Tiger King was ever created. And we started shooting that show and we were shooting it for a different reason, you know? And then like, once the lady got her arm chopped off by the tiger, they pretty much counseled our show. Damn. So we was like, all right. Like, damn. And you saw that. I mean, just a chopped off arm. Yeah, he was there when it happened. I mean, that's all just a chopped off. Y'all going to stop us for a chopped off arm? Yeah, y'all both got stopped. He bit it off, he bit it off for it. So the lady, you know, she had this big jacket on and she reached in the cage when she was supposed to normally have like a little like tool that she's supposed to reach in the cage. She that ripped her damn arm in the cage. She trying to feed the tiger? Is that what she was doing? Yeah, she was trying to feed the tiger but she reached in there and did it with her hand instead and the tiger just did one swipe to the arm which is the arm was laying on the floor. Yeah, that's what tigers do. Hold on, his nails are that sharp. Yes, his nails are. That it can just. Yeah. Yes. Well. Wow. That's what tigers do. I thought it would be like a cut or something. Man, you throw a tire, a tire, one of them big Michelin tires in there and the whole tire is going to be torn in pieces in like less than 10 minutes. Wow. Cause they use those as chew toys. So, you know, they feel like an arm. Like, what is that to a tire? Damn. You know, so once that happened, we were like, yep, show's canceled. Y'all can pack our stuff, head home. And we had like all these hard drives and all this footage and we was like, damn, what are we going to do with this? And we was like, shit, I don't know. Then we started like deleting stuff and putting more stuff on there and filming other stuff. Cause we just had a ton of hard drives with just footage. And, you know, he let us keep it. He was like, yeah, I can do whatever y'all want with it. We're not doing the show no more. And then all of a sudden Netflix hit us up and was like, shit, I heard y'all got some footage. Damn. And we use it and I was like, how much? Yeah. How much you paying? That was a blessing in disguise. Oh yeah. Right at COVID. See, that was right on time. Right on time. You probably be like, dang, I shouldn't have deleted some of that stuff. What? What? I was so sick when I found out we deleted it. I was like, y'all, everybody fired. Why would y'all do something like that? So what's the next venture for you? Next venture, man, just get these artists signed. You know, I'm trying to work on a major, major record deal. So I'm just manifesting it right now. I'm looking at a major label deal that's going to open up the floodgates for Dallas and sign some of the biggest artists you've seen. Man. And I can't wait. That's my goal. Because I already got my little team together. As soon as you do it, nigga, I'm knocking on your door. I got people, I need you to sign me, nigga. Yeah, yeah, I know how the game goes. I am taking this show on the road. But no, man, thank you, man. I want to know, how many more animals do you intend to get? Are we back in the mountain? I want to know, what kind of animal do you want, right? Yeah, do you want, do you have your eye on? Now, my goal is to get a giraffe, you know what I'm saying? The one on the giraffe? Yeah, like, I just want to know. A baby giraffe? No, then you want the big-headed giraffe with the tongue on it. I want the big giraffe in my backyard, because it's like, you know, when you show in your house and you doing MTV cribs. He want to be, like, coming to America. He wake up and he look out in the backyard and he can see all those animals. Wait right there, King. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Just be like, you know, let me show you my cars, but oh yeah, I forgot, there's a giraffe in the back and they be like, damn, damn, who got a giraffe? And them giraffes ain't cheap. They cost the same amount of a lamb again. Damn, you want the same amount you pay on a lamb again and you going to buy a giraffe? And it probably costs, like, a lot to ship them over here. No, it costs a lot to feed them. So if you get ready to buy a giraffe and you been on lamb again, what you just told me? Yeah, I want a giraffe. Damn. I want a goddamn giraffe. Nigga, you give me that giraffe. I'm going to put it up. Does your daughter have a lot of animals too? Do that giraffe, the giraffe run this hole. She do, she do. You know, she had a few animals herself, but you know, I think, I kind of like, I don't know, I might've made it bad because she just grew up with animals and you just get so used to it. Yeah, yeah. I've seen a monkey before. I've seen a tiger before. Like, come on, dad. Like, what are you going to do next? You have to get in her exotic animals. Something like that. There's nothing else that you can show me that's different from what I've ever seen. Like everything I've seen on TV, you got. Wow. That's dope. That's dope. Hey, man, thank you, man. Man, I just want to tell you, we love you. Hey, love you too, man. Without a doubt, Radio. Yeah, I definitely appreciate it. I'm beyond this, man. I never seen this coming. I appreciate you for pulling up. For sure. As soon as I called you. Did y'all learn something? Man, I learned a lot, man. You know what I'm saying? Because we always bumped into each other. We ran into each other about 20 times on the airplane. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but still. There's nothing like having you on the set. Yeah. See this spiritual right here, nigga. For sure. See, I like that. I like that. I like how you use that word right there. People don't understand what spiritual is nowadays. And I feel like spiritual is something that we all have to get in touch with. That's it. You know, we've been mentally connected for so long, but when have we ever been spiritually connected? For sure, man. So let's put that on the next show. You know what I'm saying? Make a whole show about being spiritual. Don't let this be your last time coming on Boss Talk 101. Whenever something popping off, you got to show up and show out, right?
