 podcast like this. Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique house. It's your boy, E-C-E-O. And I'm here with, hey man, save man. I got a couple of guys out. They don't need no introduction. These guys right here, man, for me is legend. Not only in Dallas, man. You might say, hey, the Earth is they turf, man. Lou Diamonds in the building. Hey, little runny mother, Elf is in the building. What's going on, man? I'm blessed, bro. Y'all like this nigga be high for nothing. Just, ah! Man, how y'all doing, man? Good. You good? Another day up over the ground. Man, you know, when I put this together, man, for the podcast, I really, to be honest, which I'll be trying to break all the rules. I don't go by the rules, man. You know what I'm saying? Because at the end of the day, I think the rules are being taught as you go. You learning as you go. People don't know what they got. I don't know if y'all remember that movie, Facebook movie. You remember, it was a social, it was Facebook. The movie, Facebook. I think I seen that. And the boy had the, he had the show going and he was like, oh, he was like, we need to sell it. You know, they want to give him a lot of money. Million. He was like, no, I'm not ready yet. I don't know what I got. Yeah. Sometimes you don't know what you got. Yeah. Being real. You just trying to figure out what it is, right? So you guys, man, y'all been watching Dallas for a long time, been putting in work for a long time. Both of y'all are patriotic when it come down to the studio. Me, I'm just a nigga under the tree. That's what I call myself. Under the tree nigga. You know what I'm saying? I'd be sitting out there, man, I go such and such. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. More than that, but I, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I like to just have a natural conversation, man. So at the end of the day, I'll be like trying to get the right people with me and say, hey, man, what's up with this? What's up with that? But where do y'all see music? And one of y'all can answer this. In Dallas, like how do y'all feel the music and the whole vibe is right now in Dallas for the grinding? You know, holiday season is coming up. I feel like it's personally, it's re-sculpting. Okay. It always re-sculpt like every five, six years. Every five, six years? Yeah, and then I feel like it's re-sculpting right now. You know, we got a bunch of new young stars coming up and out of there. Yeah, yeah. I feel like it's re-sculpting. It's just more so about us seeing them. Like, you know what I mean? Like you saying us being the older dudes doing it, just seeing the youngsters that look like they're potentially gonna be here. Because one thing about it is everybody don't be here. Everybody do it. Everybody jump in and try it. But when you look to your left and your right in five years, a lot of people be back at FedEx. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's crazy, but it's real. You know, a lot of times people have a good run. You know, walked it out. You know what I'm saying? But that was it. It's been a few like that, that you might see them, hey. But I ain't even talking about them. See, it's a world of people that don't even get records, but they just work it. Can't even get a big one. They might be just good people. You might see them hustling everywhere. Everywhere. It's for two years straight. You know what I mean? They might not just be musically good. No, I feel you. You know what I'm saying? What you think, Lou Dunn? You know, I think, I'm looking at it. I agree with what he's saying. But I also look at it like I be saying compared to where we was at. I feel like we are in one of the greatest positions we've been as far as musically. Because, for example, you got Fam right here writing. You know what I mean? For famous people. Yeah, of course. You got Bobby Sessions writing for famous people. You got J. White did it doing stuff. Yeah. Ju-Ju on the, you know, you got all these people in the city actually making some hella fine noise. Some stuff that it may have been happening back then, but I wasn't seeing it. And I wasn't connected to knowing like what was really happening. But now to see it's multiple people, not just one holding it down. It's like, man, you know, it's in a, I see it's in a great state. It's, we had a very great position. We have a good opportunity. How different is the tangible world versus the digital world that we live in today where everything is direct to consumer? And, because I was saying the other day like, man, I want to, you know, I remember that time we had a nigga this and give me this and I'm moving on from the car. I'm moving on from the, you know what I'm saying? I'm at the club in the front, man. Giving out this and that. Be honest, bro, still like that. Still like that. The only reason I said I'm just speaking, it just switched. It might not be the physical disney. I might be merchant, you know what I mean? Or might be something else where they can get to the digital, you know what I mean? So that hand in hand still there, people still want to touch you. The people still want to be there and buy from you. They want to support, you know what I mean? Cause I didn't, I didn't have people coming in. But I mean, I ain't buying that shit off the internet. I don't know if that's going to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like for real, you know? That's, that's why, that's why cause, cause people still feel good to get something from you. And I told you last time when Pimp and Ken was here, how he come in here with them damn DVDs. I told you, I bought it. I bought it. A few of Pimp and Ken, the same ones. I bought it right now. Just because I'm supporting, you know what I'm saying? So you came and be like, e-man, like if you to show up today, I'm like, e-man, I got this new CD, nigga. I'm selling it for, so I'm going to buy it. Cause it's respect. And that's the way a lot of y'all fans is. So that's the way they're programmed. And I think a lot of times we miss it because we so caught up in into what's going on now that we forget about the yesterdays, but they still prevalent. But see the digital, see where a lot of people get caught up in this digital world. You know, they don't think they gotta lead a house no more. You know what I'm saying? Cause there's so many people blowing up right there on their couch. So, you know, they don't think they got to get on the road and go, like you said, we used to have to get in the car. These folks ain't hear about you till you was in front of them. Exactly. Yeah. So did that. Every chitlin circuit, like one way in, one way out. Yeah, yeah. You hear me? And nigga, you hope you don't say the wrong thing cause this they town. You dig what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You in a small towns and that, like it's so many towns out here that people don't understand it. Like what I always try to tell the young artists, like everybody can't be drink. Yeah, yeah. It's different levels. Like, like you can't say you're not a podcaster cause you don't have this many millions, like nah, he do it, it's just he do it on a different level. Correct, correct. It's the same way with promoters. Promoters might not have 50K to get money bag, yo. But they got five to get a loop. Yeah, yeah. They got five to get me. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So it's just you want to be getting something. Already. So the word, and you never know what door is going to open when you do certain things, right? So you might do this or that and it might open a door to something else that nobody ever seen coming. So you got to make sure every door, everything is being turned and moved correctly, right? Every stone can't go on turn, man. You got to touch everything. Give me an example of some of those doors that open up like that. Cause I know you've been around. Well, I give, for example, a door open for me doing the most recent one. Yeah, yeah. Doing a favor for a friend at a smoke shop. Okay. They want me to come to the smoke shop and do a promo. You know how they do it. They want you to do a promo drive for the smoke shop. I get to the smoke shop, end up running into, I already knew Exotic Pop pot in the Pre-S-D but I ended up running into one of the reps who worked Dallas. He was there. He working that market right there. And me going doing that favor ended up turning to me and Houston. Three days later, doing a deal with Exotic Pop for a soda during the rat one-on-one economics. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. You know, it just turned. Yeah, it wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't have never been positioned that way. No, I know what happened but that's what, that's what like, I be talking to a lot of younger generations on everything does not have to be monetary at the same time. You know what I mean? You have to do some favors to get where you at. You know what I mean? And you never know what comes out of it. You know, okay, what would you rather have? Would you rather do something with somebody today and get the five grand and never work with them again or take the two, three hundred this time and then you got a 10 year, 20 year relationship where you making money with these people and it's gonna grow as they grow and you grow, you know? Yeah. Don't know what, don't get taken advantage of. Remember that, I'm just saying, don't, don't, you know. Yeah, I get it. You know, it's a mutual respect thing. You know people that you work with and build with, you know what I'm saying? I think that's heavy because you gotta, self-awareness is real, very real. Understanding who you are in order to make the moves you make, that's real, you know what I'm saying? Like a lot of times people don't tap into they in a self to even know if they can do what they feel they can do. So I think you knowing yourself and how you need to move helps you to create different things and responses in the universe. I really believe that. Are you manifesting? Yeah, because you just talked about something earlier. You said, I went over here and I did this and I thought about God when you were speaking, it was like, if you take one step toward him, he'll take two towards you. So when you take that one step, you really that door open up. That's the way it posed to work. You see what I'm saying? This door open up because you doing, you already moving towards something that normally somebody else might have looked at and it's, ah, it ain't gonna do nothing. Why would I go over there? I'm down, I'm new diamond nigga. You know what I'm saying? Cause that's the way some do. Maybe a lot of people have, you get a little traction, you can tell. I've seen it since I've been on this podcast and they go get a little traction. He ended up on the set somewhere in LA or something. I call him, it's like a little different now. Yeah. It ain't real. Like you can tell when a nigga move in and he feel like, um, but you never know, bro. One show, like I know already, I don't even go by like the views like a lot of niggas do. It's the essence. It's that person that might be watching. It might not be a whole bunch of views, but it might be one nigga that rocked with me. You know what I'm saying? And that one nigga might be very powerful. And I've seen that. I'm telling you. You trying to get quality people instead of just getting everybody. I try telling these all the time. You never going to get everybody. Yeah. And it's impossible. If you want to please everybody, you're going to die very miserable. Yeah. It's no way to please everybody. No way to please everybody. At all. At all. So man, you know, when it come down to different movement that, and I'm going to ask y'all some questions like, when Dallas made different moves, you know, you had, you had different songs that did different things. You know, from both of y'all got major songs, but when did you see certain things that made you think like, damn, that's hard right there. And they don't have to be y'all's movement. Just something that you've seen in doubt. You know, that was that happened over the years. Shit, I'm 31. I'm 31. I'm about to see shit. You did? I said, hey, hey, hey, when I had her. Yeah. But I remember when Lou had, you hear me? Oh yeah. He was sitting back. That nigga was like, you hear me? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's more than Mrs. Dahlbolica, man. Come on, my mother used to join that, bro. Like, that's hard, man. That's hard. Two times for me, appreciate that. Cause yours is inside one of mine that I know that when I saw Beyoncé throwing that ass in a circle. Yeah. That's hard. All right, that's it. That's hard. And then when I saw DeRoe on BET Awards. That's hard. When everybody came and knew everything, I was like, all right. Man, I asked DeRoe about that whole 106 in park movement. Like, nigga, how was it? He was like, it wasn't how you think. You know, like on the set, it's not even nothing like you would imagine that you see on TV is totally different. I was like, damn, I wish I'd of got to see that cause he was one of them ones that made it on there. Everybody didn't make it on there. Or everybody did not. You see what I'm saying? That was big, right? He was one of the ones just period in the city. Like, he done, he shouldn't stoned. Yeah. He over there mess with the cowboys now still. I talked to him the other night. He's like, I got something big. He I'm coming through. He wanted them dudes like y'all. The core people come to boss talk. They gonna call me. They gonna check in. We gonna talk to each other. Like me and you talked in Vegas. So if I call you, me and you talking, I don't know where we was going. I was inviting you somewhere. It's like, certain ones, I know the real ones. Cause the real gonna evolve. The fake gonna fall back. They gonna work. They gonna work. I was reading a book, bro. And it said the dude was talking. He was like, if you take all the money in the world and split it up equally between all the people in the world, he say, give it 90 to six months. All the money's gonna be back inside of the wealthy people's hand. People who had it in the world. I agree with that. Because of the work ethic. If it's in you, you're gonna keep working regardless with the money or without the money. Yeah. You get that money if it ain't in you, you're gonna sit, you're gonna blow, you're gonna spin and then you're gonna be, you know how it is. You know what I'm saying? But that's how it is, bro. That music, like he was just talking to me about how he involved in what he's doing. If it ain't the music, it's gonna be something. So it ain't the music, he doing this, doing this, doing this. If it ain't the music, I'm doing something. Something. We gonna hustle one way or the other, we gonna get to it. You gotta be playing C's, bro, like at all times. At all times, because you might not have all day to water this certain situation, but if you just keep coming back and showing love to it, I'm telling you, you can keep doing your life. You gotta look, you gotta think, you gotta believe God gonna give you, like you're gonna get old age. So you wanna have all these trades when you that old. Like I always say, I would hate to be 50, 60, fucked up. Like that's a fear, bro, like I got kids, I'll probably have grandkids at that time. Like I want them to have everything to look at and just God's and blueprints of my fuckups. Cause that's how I feel like, you know, that's what life is about. You know, you gotta go through, you learn them lessons. I wanna give my family, my fuckups, you know what I mean? At minimum, if anybody wanna do the entertainment industry, at least I can reach down and say, hey, this is the right you need to go. Yeah, yeah, that's hard too, because I think stuff like we're doing now and things that you do and you do online, like all the different things you're doing, I think the kids are a reflection of that. Your kids, your kids, they're gonna see that. That is the blueprint. They're looking at your actions. They're gonna react, they're gonna, even if they mad at you, they're gonna do what you do. People don't realize that, you know what I mean? Even if they rebelling, if they say I hate you, they're gonna be more like you. Y'all think I'm playing, but I'm not. This is the one that acts exactly like you. So that's the whole game. Like they watch you, man. I heard this woman, I read this book where this dude was telling about how your mind, how you think, like it was a hen that was around Thanksgiving and they would take and cut the hen at the back and put them in the pot. And it was like, the daughter and the mother was like, the daughter asked the mother, like why are you be cutting that turkey, putting them in the pot like that? And the mom said, that's how my mom did it. And the mom was there, the grandma was there, said that's how my mom did it. So they call a great-grandmother, end up being, they ask the grandma, why do we do that? She say, I only did that because my pot was too small. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Straight up. Cause they follow their, they're following their parents. You know what I'm saying? Like people do that, whether you want to believe it or not, people only know what they see. That's what you become, regardless of how you look at it in certain ways. I'm not saying it every day. There's going to be something different about you, but that big thing. Yeah, those main, the main factors. They're going to be, they culminate in it. Or if not your parents, it's going to come from, cause you know, sometimes, you know, young, especially young teenage boys, cause I gotta speak on like the young teenage boys, cause I know I had partners and whatnot. Like when your parents don't care about you, when you young, you know, sometimes they lead you on to the wrong shit. Yeah, yeah. Which might be they partners or another young nigga. Yeah, yeah. Another young nigga that's getting some money. Like that ain't, that ain't, that ain't teaching you how to be grown. That ain't showing you nothing. Yeah, no, not at all. You know what I'm saying? So it's just sometimes you gotta, I don't even know how to, cause a nigga don't know he's seeing these things even behind them walls and walls in that dirt. You better know it. I done seen it. I know, I understand. And at the end of the day, a lot of times, and I gotta be real with you, like even being behind the walls, a lot of times they save you from death. Like if you've been there, I've been there to where I feel like if I hadn't went there, I used to save. By the time I turned 25, I'm gonna be dead or locked up. So when you feel that way in your mind and you ain't for the stop hustling, it'll make you feel like you don't care. And if you riding around with the pistol, if the police stop me, I'm killing them too. That's how hard you go when you are hustling the streets. Some niggas ain't never been there, but when you've been there, you understand how that, you know what I'm saying? How that go. Cause I understand that when I was a young man, you thought young. That was a description of Bob said when I was a child, I thought as a child, I did some childish things. But when I became a man, I put those childish things away. So a lot of times you gotta go through those stages. And like I said, I think prison, a lot of times saved people from dying. Whether you want to believe it or not, that for sure. You know what I'm saying? I believe it. It'll cocoon you and have you safe, nigga. Until you can get your mind straight. And I don't think people look at that enough. Cause some people be like, man, I never forget one of my problems. Man, I wish I would have got locked up, man. It would have slowed me down, bro. Cause I was not trying to hear it. You know what I'm saying? And he ended up in a wheelchair. You see what I'm saying? Cause you get shot. I'm telling you, some things you're not going to turn down for nothing. Especially a impressionable teenager. You know what I mean? Young boys, you know, they're going to go with whatever they think is cool. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It ain't about, like they're not thinking about rent. And I think about like those are the scariest. Like we got to protect our young niggas, bro. I agree with you on that. So what about these studios, man? What's the, what's the craziest or maybe the coolest thing that happened in the studio? Y'all niggas been in the studio for a long time. I don't be in the studio like that, but y'all been in them, boy. Y'all been in a bunch of them too, man. It can be out of town. Give me an experience in there or something that's dope. You know what I'm saying? Or something that changed from the way that you do it now compared to when y'all first started. I'm on it. Shit. I'm going to tell you like straight up studio experience. Shit, that's another recent thing. I mean, I haven't had a lot of studio shit happen, but like, this recent one on just a studio experience of the lab up in Oklahoma. Okay. I think it's Castle Row or Crystal Row studios. Y'all been up there before? Yeah, bro. I don't know. I probably have. If I win, I probably know what it is. Bro, how the studio made out? It really fucked me up. I went to my partner. He did a little show up there. Okay. How the studio made us a two-storey studio. You walk off in it and shit, you go through it just normal studio shit. It's nice shit, then once you get through the studio stuff, you're going to the backside, bro. It got like a house of blues built stage room. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah? That's all. It's like, man, it was a whole fucking party in there. The bar, everything, we ended up fucking it. They got the balcony shit. And then how the A studio is, the A studio mixing board is right here. And then the whole wall is glass. So you could see the stage and the crowd and everything like that, just in case you were in your session and you want to watch the show. That's hard. That was a fucking sick ass experience right there. I liked the way that studio was made. Because they can end up going out there and performing right after making some music. Yeah, yeah. That's hard. That's how it was, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Man, what about you? I done been in all type of crazy looking ass constructed ass studio. What's the worst one? Oh, worst? You end up in the closet somewhere? I've been in the worst of worst of worst studios. Like being in the worst studio is way easier than going to a nice studio. Like it ain't too many really nice studios. You see what I'm saying? Like what he just explained, niggas ain't building a studios like that. They stop at the fiberglass. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They like shit up. We can book this motherfucker out right now. A young artist will come through here and just be happy to be in a glass room. That's right. You know what I'm saying? They can get their little footage. But most studios, I done been in all of them. None of them whole really impressed me, bro. My first time being in a studio, a big studio was, what's that place right there called Media Tech? Media Tech, yeah. That was my first time going to- Audio Down, not Audio Down, it's the time for Media Tech, yeah. But it was that big, it was Maxim Media at the time. I remember I was with JT, Res and Peace, JT Soul. I went with him and he recorded a record, a feature for somebody. And so me, this my first time at the big studios. I'm seeing the mixing boards and all that. I'm thinking, nigga, your song is just gonna come out. Movie cali- Man, that motherfucker was rougher than rough. I said, there ain't no difference. I said, don't know this make no difference. And like, man, you got to pay for a mixing session. That's what I'm learning. So this goes to show you the reason studio don't impress me on foot with it like that. 98% of the music that has ever came out on me, I recorded at home. Damn, that's hard. Still to this day, like- To this day. Everything I do- DJ Joe said the same thing. I record. Like he don't, he do his own video, editing and all that. I was sold at that point. Yeah, that's me. I was sold. I was like, oh yeah, I can learn how to do this shit. Yeah, yeah. Ain't don't need all this, all that technical, yeah, you can keep all of it, get the compressors and the essence. Nah, yeah, yeah, I don't need it. I don't need it. I can do it all digitally. That's hard, man. That's hard because like I said, a lot of people think it take a lot and they do a lot. It seem like my studio set up here. Like I don't, I see niggas with 10, 15 niggas around all that. I don't, man, I'm not fit to do all that. I'm like, how they get there? Like, cause I never thought like that. I couldn't do it if I never thought it. It's like, I can move this and do that and I'm gonna turn everything, get everything where I can see it. And I'm gonna do it. You see how he got mirror wonders on it? But like, I can see myself on everything. I'm self-sufficient, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, you don't understand what I'm saying. Yeah, that's how it is. Cause you gotta stay smart. Like why would I do that? The majority of the sessions I go to out in the other studios be features. Yeah. You should step on something back. But what was you about to say? You gotta think too though, you know what I'm saying? Like once again, this nigga's an innovator. You're an innovator. You're a pioneer. You're a starter, you know what I'm saying? Some people, some people, they don't have that drive. At all. So they actually be needing that shit. I just hate that they get juiced. You know what I'm saying? Hard, yeah! About that they get juiced. But some people be needing that shit. They be needing that extra look to be in them studios and shit. And honestly, some of them need to confidence. Some of them feel like if they were, it's kind of crazy. They feel like if I recorded this song in this booth in my bathroom, it ain't gonna mean the same as if I recorded at that $100,000 studio. It's gonna mean something different. I agree with you. And the other 50% Lou talking about, they waste a studio time. Yeah. Wasting money. They all wasting it. Okay, y'all see the punch. What's up with the punchy? I talked to a lot of these kids. That's how I record. That's how I record. What's the difference in a person who write and a person who just be punching in? Like, what's, and did you always punch in? I lost my writing book when I was like 14. Okay. And I had so much in it and I was so devoted to it, I was hurt. Okay. So I said, I'm not never gonna do that again. So I stopped writing, I stopped doing all that. Now I stopped writing and I was recording myself. So at this time, I'm at the house being experimental. You know, I'm trying to goddamn be creative. I'm just saying what I'm saying, doing what I'm doing, bloom. I learned how to make my voice consistent. So you don't hear it. Okay. And my punching is ain't going bar. Like my punching might be four, five, six bars at a time. So it might take me two punchings. You know what I'm saying? More so work. I see the young nigga, they punching in. Every line. Bar for bar. Wow. Young nigga gonna love every line. Bye. Bro, I done hear them come in here, try to do a freestyle with that same mentality. I'm like, what's going on? I be lost. Hey. That's where a good shake yet. But that's where music is, it's music. You know what I'm saying? It's made to be recorded. It's made to be put in a creative aspect. If you want to just clear punching and you need to go to like some spoken words, shit. Like I tend to get that all the time. Like when you in that studio, please utilize that studio, all those effects and things. If it's gonna make the record better, do it. Man. Be creative. I had guys come in and say when they go in the club and they hear their song, they'd be tired of it. Like throw that ass in the circle. I would never. Or like diabolical. I would never. I'm being rid of that. That's what I do. That's what I do. You listen to Gadamere. He told me that he was like, man, I hate hearing my song. I didn't walk the block to my feet or the slab. What? I say, what? I know. Niggas put that on, I put it on anyway. You don't like it. Bro, I hate that one thing. I either get in the club or I get around somebody and then they start playing that shit and they be looking at me. Yeah, it's always awkward. I would say that it's awkward. It's awkward. But it like nigga play my new shit. Nigga that shit 27 years old. For real? Not that I'm just talking, but I'm just, damn that shit is 27. You hear that? That shit crazy. Cause you started young. It's crazy though, bro. You was young, man. And I'ma tell you that story you told about yellow on here. It did number. As soon as I put that whole up. It was like, damn. I'm like, I know you wouldn't even, I'm like, whoa, cause I, nobody knew that. You know what I'm saying? That was a dope thing. You knew him that long, bro. That was a dope thing. Did you know that? I didn't know that shit. You've been knowing him for a long time. Exactly. And I was like, that was dope. That was some dope shit to just find out especially on this platform. It needs to be, listen, man, I'll fuck with it. Listen, man, it needs to be, this is our history, bro. That's what people don't understand. If you don't give somebody an understanding that you can call somebody and you may get a break by somebody who may, somebody may spend time with you. You know what I'm saying? Some people not, but somebody might do it. I hear another old fact back then that another entertainer I know since a baby. You know what I'm saying? He probably don't remember, but my boy Gunnam easy. Oh yeah? Squeaky Mac, Squeaky Mac son. I didn't know that. Gunnam easy used to be on a little baby in the studio when we are Milo Dizzy, Spliff, Squeaky Mac, Doseki. We used to be out in there. Used to be down there out of Denly, you know what I mean? But we had built a couple of different studios. I know out of Denly on different spots, bro. He'd be off in there as a little kid. You know what I mean? Young is young. Yes, kid, baby. So he been in that all his life, really? Yeah, he'd be sitting over there. You know what I mean? That's crazy. His dad was a studio junkie. You know what I'm saying? That's what we were. So we was in there. So Nick is bringing in kids and shit. So I watched him grow up in there. I didn't know that he was going to end up the way he said it. I watched him elevate to that shit in years. And you never think about it, why are you doing it? Because like I said, I had Renetta and Ronnie here, the bar baby. And I had them on her the same way, year and now. And I was like, man, how was it to take your daughter in there and her seeing at four years or six years old bar baby. She was like, she had a doll and she just went in there. And we told her to say it. And she said, it's the bar baby. And she started singing it. Yeah. And it didn't take a long. And then she walked back out like, I'm done. Yeah. What? Is he hitting it off? That's what I was telling the man, like these are stories, man, that people need to hear. Like I think it's something we need to unfold because like I tell you again, the internet is so vicious, bro. Like if we don't do our part, it's giving it the real essence of what is real. And then the mess is going to continue to evolve. It's some real cast that knows some real things about the city and everything else. And we don't tell them like, man, I'm blind. They just be talking mess. They don't say anything. But nigga, what you going to do about it? We got to talk. So y'all got dope history. Like I had a scooter Mack and Lodees on here the other week. Like it's certain things that I'm doing to where I feel like it's needed because there's so much mess being said. It's like, man, let's tell them about the good times. It's been some dope times. I know it has. You know what I'm saying? Like what he's saying, sound like that record we just did. Man, say it. Literally, like it's straight up. The record is, I'm telling you, like. Like he straight up, I ain't think about that. Y'all just did a record. Yeah, man, my boy came through for me. Man, y'all niggas, man, I'm just in there talking. I don't know nothing about what Nova doing. But that's the thing though, we're just supposed to be working. Yeah, for real, that's hard. I love it, man. The fact that you guys have that chemistry to even be able to pick up the phone and say, hey, man, what you doing, man? Let me come and jump on this. You know, how hard is that dealing with linking up like that? Is it rather easy for us? Yeah, for us it's pretty easy, you know what I mean? Yeah. Really, it's all on the person. Yeah, yeah. Let me say that, it's all on the person. Because some people, you know, when they need you. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But if you need, it's kind of hard on the return sometimes. Yeah. But you know, we do it out of love. So you know, we understand our people are, but it's not hard linking up with nobody. I think the dopest thing is that, like I said, to be, man, we gotta be real. You know, we just lost takeoff last night. Damn. And I'm just being real with you. It's crazy because I look at it and I look back and say, man, here I am, I'm still here. And it's a lot of people that don't make it through 28 years old. Bro, that's too young. That's what killed me. I didn't know he was that young, bro. 28 years old. That's, that's, that's, that's horrible. That's horrible. That ain't, man, my son 29, bro. Mm hmm. Who want to be over here with me? That's he, he and all I feel now he 29, bro. Like this is crazy to me. Like it's, it's something to where that's why, like I say, I pray for the youngsters, bro. It's so much stuff going on. I know y'all are young, but when you go out here at night and you hanging out and you, it's three, four, five, six, seven next day, nigga, I'm not doing it, bro. Like, and that's been a lot of time. People ask me to come out earlier, nigga. And I'd be like, that ain't me no more. I'm being real. It ain't. And I want, like I say, rest in peace to, rest in peace, man. You know what I mean? But I do also want to say this, you know, on behalf of us as artists or any other person, man, everybody has the right to stay out after a certain amount of time. Correct. If they want to enjoy themselves, you know what I'm saying? Like, I just feel like, like that was a bad situation, you know what I'm saying? That was an unfortunate situation, but I still feel like we should not be blamed as artists or people or whatever, just cause niggas got their lifestyles and want to stay out because that's no difference than somebody going to the casino and staying up there for 30 hours, you know what I'm saying? Well, the difference though is, man, I know my, I ain't for the, I'm not, this is not a snitch, I'll let me stop, pretty quick. But it's gotta be rules and regulations to where I go. I'm old, so I guess I'm different. I'm not for to just go. I used to be in the gambling house. My daddy got shot in the head in the gambling house. The same one, my uncle got shot in the back of the headie and my uncle, the other uncle burnt it down. This is how I came up. I seen this. That's how my uncle died. At the gambling shack. Nice game. Yeah, after that, that's the way, you know that's, you know niggas gonna pop it, pop it every time. Man, I have one niggas like, man, I help you get this man, quit doing that at night, bro, you making me look bad. This is on businesses I done helped niggas with. Man, quit gambling in there at night. Man, don't do that, man. Close that door, go. Stop hanging out like, this is crazy because I know you ain't got nobody here if somebody lose their head. It's over. If it's just a couple of niggas with, some niggas can't even shoot, nigga. Yeah. They turning the gun sideways cause they seen it on a video. Yeah. Certain niggas don't even, ain't even, man, I know niggas who got guns who ain't never shot it. Y'all think, we ain't never even put it out and shot it. Ain't went to no gun range, none of that. Scary thing about them dice games is, them bitches gonna keep going. Yeah. Like y'all just said, like they didn't stop bitch off him. Nah, they not gonna stop them, bro. Hell nah, they ain't gonna stop. They ain't going on right now. Right now? I know where it's at. That's just the way it, you gonna go? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You want to shoot some? I had my little dice game. I just knew what was gonna happen, and I, I don't know. Yeah. Has to get up out of there. Man, I see you finally made it. That's Brittany Loso, guys. That's one of my new coos, man. Yeah, first people problems in the building, man. I'm ready. But you know, I, Hey, but you know what, too, bro? I don't think, man, they was in a bowling alley. You feel me? So I felt like, man, they was with the mob. You know what I mean? Wow, that's so. So I felt like, I felt like, because I got that call, man. When they woke us up at three. You know what I mean? Me too, I got it early too. You know what I'm saying? They called me at three. Mike Jeter, you know what I'm saying? Anyways, they call and like, I don't think they expected that shit to happen in the situation where they was at. Number one, bowling alley. Number two, they with the mob. You know what I'm saying? They went, you know, they with the family. You know what I'm saying? So it's all love. And I have never in my life, as long as being out here in Texas, seen anything happen under. Those stipulations. Under the watch. You know, if niggas in there fucking with Prince or whatever. Nah, I ain't never seen that happen with. No, you know what I'm saying? You out here, you know what's up in Texas? Yeah, they got a protection clause. You know, they look out for everybody. I don't care if they in Dallas, Houston. You come to Texas, mob type. You know what I mean? They gonna look out one way or another. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's the whole game, man. So shit, man. That was a horrible. That was a horrible, you know what I'm saying? I hated for his family. You didn't understand? It's we fans. I really fucked with they shit like totally. But I just hated for, you know, them close people. You know, the people that really, really, really are affected by like, we ain't gonna get no more music. And we still gonna get some more music. That was what's just crazy. But as far as the real people that need that conversation that he helped, you know, he probably helped motherfuckers that, man, that we couldn't see. We don't know. No, he did. You know he did. And how he was quiet, bro. You know, he was a worker, bro. Exactly. And then look at this, though. This is what I was thinking about all day, bro. It made it even harder with the situation with him and Offset and them niggas not talking. So it's like now, damn, I done lost a partner. A family member, really. Fuck the partner. A family member. We ain't even been speaking the last 30, 60 days or whatever. And it's like, man. It's too short, bro. You know what I'm saying? That shit too, like too short. And Loso. What's up, man? She always bring some different new. Y'all was talking about what's new. Y'all was talking about Offset. It's RIP Offset. No. Takeoff. Takeoff. Takeoff. You talking about Offset because all you're saying they won't be able to mend with their head going on. Life is so short. We should never hold grudges and leave and think and assuming we'll have tomorrow to go shit and talk about it. I agree 100%. So when you think about just the, where were you at when you heard about it? God damn, I was in my bed. I thought you on sleep at night. No, I was in my bed, though. I wasn't sleep. Hold on, I'm sorry, y'all. I was in my bed, though. And I was like, Lee, I was like, his mom don't even know yet. That's what made me the most, like, we just, our generation is just so disrespectful. No, like there's no. Desensitize. Yeah, we desensitize. It's like, okay, even back in the day when it would happen, people at least let them tell their family and they family release and say, hey, this happened or whatever. But think about it. They got a video going around. The last thing we wanna see is a video, like your life being taken. And it's nothing. Unless you've seen a person, like in person, it's like a, I've seen it. And I'm experiencing it. You get you chilling, it'll trigger you. I don't see any chill. And when you have that, it's like, people don't understand that. I don't think they understand that. And I just hate that, you know, we just in that situation. You know. But we in a camera phone era, like. What does that do to us, though? We in a camera phone era. I'm asking, I don't think. What is it? White people have camera phones and they don't do that. It just might not come out. Oh, they don't do that. That would be the difference. Or it come out later on. We wish ourselves. We would still make it to that minute. We wouldn't suppose ourselves. Yeah. We wouldn't suppose ourselves. We don't have, yeah, we wouldn't suppose ourselves. But what I'm saying is like, they gonna do it. Yeah. They gonna do it. But what though, this is the thing. When you doing it to be the first to say, you heard it here. When you doing it to get likes. So when you get it to get like, when it comes to them. Oh, of course. It's wrong to have it, period. Yeah. But they gonna do it. We at that point now, it's because look, all right. I know what the bloggers like they say doing the likes, but the same footage that the bloggers and stuff was drawing up, it's on the news. That's right. You know what I'm saying? That's right. So what makes the news any different than the bloggers? It ain't even just about, because sometimes I keep my mind going. Have you ever spent, when the news is reporting, they'll say, they'll report, I'm here at the some, some bowling alley here in Houston, Texas. There's been three, three have been shot to, have been taken to, you know, the hospital one has died here on site. They will not say the name of the person. No, they will show the video. They showed it. They showed the video? Yeah. The rapper is not confirmed, two rappers such and such. They showed it too. They'll say boring, this is gonna be very graphic. Yeah. That's what they say. Yeah. They let that all go. Yeah. Really, it's just the day and age we're in. I don't put it on bloggers. I don't put it on news, TMZ, same thing. It's all the same. It's like, if that was you, would you want that? And if you don't want that? I don't know if you got a choice. Yeah, you don't got a choice. Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's gonna happen. I don't think you got a choice. If, especially if it happened with somebody around you, somebody's grabbing on the phone. They don't say that, give it a day though. I mean, we should have at least a 24 out. What do you think about the police officers? They go through the same thing. Officers sign up for that. They see people die every day. I got a partner that's a officer, comes here and he, I tell him something, I'm like, damn dog, you need some rest. Yeah. Like you really seeing them. I do it all the time. Like, man, what, you seeing too much, bro. I broke up with a guy because he was a police officer. Yeah. That's a deal breaker. Can't do him. I don't do it. Well, we fall out and then we fall out and then you gonna meet up. Yeah, but she's like a gangster though. But she's like a gangster though. You talking that dude? I'm putting cases on all of you. You broke up with him so he was dating them. No, no, no, no, no. Never got with him. You know how women, we don't get it. No, you said it right. You said it right. Well, when I say date, you know you go out to eat. I'm not the type to when we first meet. So what you do? What you do? I don't do all that. Like, what's up, what we doing? You ain't going to say, cool. We'll figure that out on the date. And then it really, and he revealed that that's what his occupation, you know, usually most cops don't realize, they don't come out and send you a cop. They don't usually do it. They don't usually do it. They try to fill you out first. Cause they know, as soon as you get that old. How the cop, how he even get you to, you understand me? At the gym. He was fine though. Okay, I was talking to him. What's their approach? He's at the gym. Nobody at the gym, you know, they got that at the gym. I like the gym. No badge, arms out. Yup. Yeah, you over there like, yeah. That's what I came for. Got that matching. You know, I got a little, I ain't got no work over there as well. Bring it on some of the building. Look, if they ain't got nothing to look at, I don't want to be there. That's why I ain't got this fitness connection. Look, they went over, off of 67 though. But I be saying, yeah, it's the LA Fitness. They going up at the LA Fitness. That's where it's at. Hey, she was on, I don't know if you watched that Boosie gone bad. She was, she was to the co-host. Yeah. You're saying it all now. That's how I cut it up. Yeah. I was just being there. I was just down. Cut it up. You cut it up. But the police are currently asking for, anybody knows anything about the actual shooting that happened. Nobody is talking about the actual shooting or what? For a take off. Man, I got a video. Yeah, I can't remember. Yeah, they just dropped another video. Yeah, yeah, the police did. No, just another video just came with the angle of them arguing before it happened. Really? Yeah, so take off was arguing. No, Quavo was arguing. Quavo was arguing. And it showed it. But what would they, were they in Halloween costumes or something? I didn't know. I got to see them chunky. Well. I did see the chunky. Yeah, it was Halloween night, so people were dressed up. So they don't really, them costumes, everybody doing different stuff. Yeah, the niggas ain't had no, you know, niggas ain't had no costume. Right, I seen costumes. You know what I'm saying? The niggas, I ain't, them two niggas I saw, they ain't had no costumes on. See. They had dreads and a hat. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like that, like, like, it's like this. You don't really, shooting dice, you don't really shoot with who you don't know. You know what I'm saying? Like, you got to get money. Because you got to understand, I'm going to see you again. Hey, you see my money in a day, but I'm going to roll with you again. Man, you got to tell somebody else that we used to go with crybabies. And they ain't know nothing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Let it be real. And then you really shoot. They got to, they got to pull the table. You got to shoot the dice through the cup. No, no. You going for recreation, you going to shoot with your partners. But when you trying to get some money, you really want to go shoot dice. You don't want to take your partner's money. No. So you're going to go shoot somewhere where everybody knows somebody that somebody knows somebody else. Know somebody that knows somebody else. It can go bad in a dice game. It can go bad in a dice game, bro. Shit can go bad. Because you talking, you talking noise the whole time. Yeah, but shit can go great. You know what I'm saying? People, you meet at dice games, bro. You know what I'm saying? You might meet. You might break the deal. I want to know the, I want to know the ratio of times that people have gone to shoot dice and it went great versus times. It got great a lot. That didn't went bad. No, it's not great. It's not great. The good not way to bad game. The good not way to bad game. Yeah, because we used to shoot every night for two, three years and two people got killed in two years. That's not bad. The ratio was a... The ratio was a one for three, three, six, five. That's right. That's right. One for three, six, five. And you can't go off who lost because somebody won. So it was a good show versus they won. So as long as it was good money, good gambling, no problems. Yeah. So do you know these guys' music? I'm sure I do. Well, we've had to talk about that because you don't pull it up on this damn set. And these guys here, this is Little Ronnie Mother Elf. Yeah. Okay, Little Ronnie Mother Elf. You know any of this song? I'm positive I do. Throw that ass in the circle. Yeah, I've done that. I've done that. You know Little Diamond, the diabolical. Let it down a little quick. Well, yeah, I know it. I don't know where it is. Wow. The diabolical. It's a little, it's a little, it's a little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did I say, y'all? You ain't got your average girl, y'all. Well, I did it, I did it. All right, what is it? It's a little. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Now, see, this is what I'm talking about, man. I do follow him, though. You had like a little baby thing going through the set. I think that's pretty funny. That's my baby diamond. That's my baby diamond. I thought it was a filter, but you were actually just like a baby. So it's like, it's not, it's like, I thought it was a filter, but it's actually your face. Let me ask you this, man. So when you guys think about just the next step, like right now, if a nigga wanted to come up off the music right now, today, I'm for the rap, nigga. I ain't never rap, but I'm for to get serious about it. Can he do it being 28, 29, 30? Can he do it at 50? Making it, bro. I'll take it once on. He'll record 52 Savage. You know what I'm saying? 52 Savage. Wait. Y'all don't know that. Shut up. 52 Savage. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did it. 52 Savage. I say anything possible. Cause I know, I know, I know I haven't been counting out so many times. I just say anything possible. Anything possible. I ain't never gonna tell nobody what they can't do. Cause I don't know. You never know? You never, literally. You seen that old lady. I think she died though. She was 97, 98, and they started showing a snoop and all of them was falling in. Oh yeah. I be watching. What she done? I don't know if she did or not. She be watching a live. She still going up. She gonna pop up live in a second. It's all like she be cussin' and be wild too. She cuss like a motherfucker and then she get to singin' and shit, you know what I'm sayin'? They love up. She up. She came up. Oh wow. At the end. She was 97. I don't think it's never too late to be able to do whatever you're passionate about. I don't think it's never too late. Like is it too late to go and paint? Now is it too late to do it and be successful or go in the lane you think you're gonna go in? Probably. It's really different from whatever. We are in the entertainment industry. It's not too late to do nothing, you understand me? Because you always got an age that you can market to. Yeah. And in Hollywood. They don't stop. They need grandmothers. They need granddaughters. Thank you. They play old, like. Thank you. I think Samuel L. Jackson, he got, he didn't get old, so he was like 45. Martin Freeman started old. Yes. I've never been young man. I've never been young man. He's been old. Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark. That was, that was what you were saying? Yeah, Mr. Clark. Mr. He was 17. That nigga was born old. Yeah. And it worked in his favor though. You see what I'm saying? And it's the same way, it worked when you're young. It's just more young people moving. They know people growing, so they try to push more. We push more into the young, but at the same time, if you got something to give, somebody older, won't it? We won't know it. You know what I think it is also? The entertainment business is not easy. It's gonna take a hustle. It's gonna take a grind. It's gonna take you being up late. It's gonna take you up getting there early. So are you trying to do that at 60, 50? You know what I'm saying? So you gotta think of that. But if you have that type of tenacity to do what you wanna do, you can, like they say, do whatever you, you know, pursue whatever you want. When they're bored down to it, I don't give a damn what you're doing. It's a job. Whether you're with, whether you're with Phoenix, you're with Kinko. And it don't always pay. It don't always pay. Yeah. You gotta put in them hours. You have to literally scratch our time and put in eight to 10 hours into the job. Not eight to 10 hours scrolling on Instagram. I'm talking about actually doing something, making a plan, doing this, recording this, mixing it. Cause you're gonna, bro, you know, bro, you might do a hundred songs on it, pull out five or eight or them more songs. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So it's like, you gotta work. Who is, when you, when they look down, when you look at Yellow Beezy, his last project that came out, was it hard? Was it a, was it hard, hard? Where did it fall? What's up with it? Where's, what's up with that? I just think he gotta put some more videos with it. So you think he didn't put enough videos with it? He put two or three. But this is me, this is me. And you know, Yellow, that's my, so I'm gonna be like, but you gotta put out some more videos. Yeah. You know, it's visual. Even if this is you just talking about, yeah. And you a young fly, you a fly, then get on the camera. I wanna hear from you. Yeah, I'm, I'm with bro. I bro, I think bro, I'm out of your line. Bro played it so professional that he. Underplayed it. Yeah, he played it so professional. He took a rest. He took a breather a little bit. And I just feel like he has the resources. He has the gas. He needs to mash the motherfucking gas. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, like, literally. Nigga, every two weeks, if you got two around his bitch, dropping something new, dropping the visual for them hoes. Cause they out there. And actually the project actually sounds, you know what I'm saying? Not saying it like actually sounds good, but I'm saying the project is a good project. You know what I'm saying? You know, a lot of people don't put out good projects. I'm saying he actually put out a good project. So, but what was going on? Like he said, it's an internet thing. He's fighting. He's, he's fighting uphill battle. Even though he's uphill, he's still fighting uphill battle. He got to gain, he got to gain a lot of shit right now. And he, and only way he gonna do it is pumping out them videos, mixing with these people. And me, honestly, yellow. Nigga fuck around in the city, man. You know what I'm saying? Real tough. That's all. I don't care if it's just an event. You don't understand something. Fuck around in the city. So did he do anything in the city with this new project or he didn't do nothing in Dallas when it came to coming out? Cause I don't know. I'm saying like, was there a show? Was there? I'm gonna speak on it. Cause he hard, you gotta realize, this is probably the biggest person to me. That's my opinion. That's out, you know, for his artists that could come out in the mainstream, gonna see him and they gonna gravitate to his project. Yeah bro. Am I tripping? Bro leading. I'm right, right? Yeah, besides Post Malone. Yeah, he wanted them more. Post Malone and him. Him, Mo and them, the only three. And actually he was bigger than Mo. You know what I'm saying? He was, he was, but I'm saying. I've been globally. Correct. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? So when I see him come out like he did, you looking for something big to happen. Yeah. I am. Cause that's yellow. Cause of the level that he's at. It's still gonna happen. Like you say, what did you do? No, I'm talking about every project. I'm talking about the way I seen it. And I love the project. Don't get it twisted. The badass yellow boy, the PMC. All that's up my alley, nigga. You know what I'm saying? But like you said, we want to see it. Like, you know, with the world we live in, we're so over, like, I got all access to you. Like it used to be where artists could be like, I'm just an artist and I cut off them. No, they want to be in your business. They want to know what you're wearing. They want to know what you're eating the day. And it's like with your music, we want to see what's going on. Like if you were to. And that's not safe. That's not safe. Like to be the type of artist they want you to be, it's not safe to be that type of artist. And it shows with artists who are like that. And things that happen. It eventually catch up to them. Do y'all, what about Terrence Crawford and Earl Smith's fight? Why that didn't happen? Man, say. Shit, nigga, I feel like it's money. Like my father told me. As you think it's money. I'm just, we can talk just around the table. I got EJ. You got, I do too. I'm rocking with EJ every time. Yeah, I'm rocking. Oh, here she go. I hate this in the building. I don't, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Who you got? I hate her, baby. Who you got? Man. Man down. Man down. So, like, so I was like, so watching boxing, you don't come from female. I like Terrence Crawford might be fighting for it. Like to get to that level to make that type of money, to fight Earl, it had to make sense for Earl to like fight a person of like, to me to lose everything I have, to fight somebody to come, you know what I'm saying? And that's the issue right now. Right. Like what I just, like, cause my partner, one of my partner partners, they in broke camp. So like what they saying is, bro want to do a, like a 70, a 70, 30 split, like Crawford get 30, you know what I'm saying? Earl get 70, some shit like that. And bro like, you know, it's, it's, he's like, he ain't tripping, but he like, what am I getting 30% of? You know what I'm saying? Is it like what's all involved? He has some of the pay-per-views and shit like that. Yeah, and they don't, they ain't, they ain't come with that. They haven't got the contract down. And at the end of the day, whatever platform they put Crawford on to be able to even be on that level is up to him. No matter if you're getting a 70 or a 30. He got paid. He got paid to go where he went. But he finna go get paid right now. It's fight he finna do. You know what I'm saying? He can pay. Yeah, he's getting paid. Yeah, so he's still getting paid. Big zero's on this one. You know what I'm saying? Like I was arguing with my partner cause we always be talking shit, man. Shout out my nigga Jay Money. Do you know what I'm saying? Cause he from Omaha and I'm from here and shit. So you know, we got big bad. See, we thought we, we had planned it. We thought the fight was in November. Cause we were gonna be in Vegas on my birthday on the 15th. So we already planned it. I'm gonna go kid. We gon finna, that shit ain't happen with it. Shit. Oh man. A lot of people bought flights. This thing was crazy. This thing was like a 19. It was on. Niggas start buying flights. It's that series. And you know, all I could do was go like this. Cause the boy that thought, I thought he's gonna go without me. He ain't going no more. What? You talking about the police, I was like. What? You talking about the police? You talking about the police? You talking about the police? 12. 12. 12? Nah, it's the holiday. I swear I won't do it over time. So it's probably a problem. Nah, for real. Let me, let me see. When you think about like, like when you look at Eric about dude, man. I love him. She from Dallas. She the queen. She came out the other night. What were that boy named still? I love him. Um, Steve Lacey. What? Steve Lacey? She came out with Steve Lacey. My wife was at the concert with my daughter. She, she, my daughter is a Steve Lacey fan. I don't know nothing about this dude. He's weird, of course. They all be weird. Of course. Yeah. And Erica comes out and she, I seen the video where she lays and kick it with him and all that man and show love to him for coming through the city. Do we do that enough when people come to the city? Do we show the love that we should be showing? I feel like Dallas is almost like uncharted territory. It's like almost like freelance. What? I feel like Dallas is like freelance. Freelance for what? If pilgrims want to come. I feel like everybody that come here and gets successful like come from somewhere else. And they stick together. No. Believe it or not, whether it's put on record or not, they tap in with somebody. That's what I think too. You know what I'm saying? Even if it was artists, even if it was artists and shit, yeah, it broke. So who they tapping in with in the city of Dallas? No, I'm just saying it's all type of different artists and different people they tap in with. And it's so, it's so professional to the point where we don't relate shit. We ain't gonna take no picture and put up on Instagram. Let me know. Okay. Because you may be out here actually just. Me and Gene winningly just come like that. I've been knowing what it is. Yeah. I know exactly what it is. They come here. They for sure come in there. I'm not gonna say I'm hurting. Yeah. I'm not gonna do that. But yeah. I think everybody know that. No, no, no. Everybody be like, you know. But it's just like when you see people come into the city, they do have a, people call it checking in. Do y'all agree with people checking in? No. I personally don't think nobody gotta check in. Like I think with music, I feel like they saying that they won't. Yeah, they just won't. You know, I want to be filled. I'm here. I know this is your city. So I know you may know what I need to do. So boom. Because that's how we was, you know, going into other cities. If I'm headlining in another city, you're gonna see I got a show in Oklahoma on Friday. The hottest little nigga there, I'm gonna embrace him. You know what I'm saying? Because that helped his city embrace him. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And that just had always been like, that's what it take. But that's where what you were saying like, you need the right people saying, hey, that's such and such and that's such and such. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of times, man, the E-Folks come into this top five, top six market and, you know, they terrified as well. Like this is a lot of people. Yeah. And this is a dangerous business. Just being popular, not even doing music. Like just being popular, bro. You can be on TV. And we're killing shit out here. I'm gonna, that's one of my questions for y'all. Because I know you right. And I know you've been around a long time and you're right and you're producing everything else, right? When is, with Dallas being such a top city, like we were talking about top five. And when it comes to marketing and everything, why are we not a city that breaks records? Why are we? We ain't considering that. Yeah, why are we not like breaking our stuff? Like, I feel like that's the success that comes from Atlanta. They'll break their own record and they'll play that. They go to Cali. You hear Cali sound on the West Coast. It'll make it way over. Somebody who was in Cali was like, it broke there and now they live in New York. Now it's playing out there. And New York do the same thing. But why are we not doing that as a top market here in Dallas? We have the, I mean. I think it's like a double-edged sword cause I think we do do it and we don't do it because the people that did get big out here, they broke out of here. You know what I'm saying? This nigga broke out of here yellow. Even though he got like what he talked about earlier, the traction, the feet work. See the thing about it is when, and this is with the radio too. This is for the artists. I'm saying this for the artists. I want you all to know this, all right? It'd be radio execs who'll be rooting for the records and they be wanting to push it on the line. But they still have bosses that's over them. So if this record is not getting no traction and no other market in here, it's hard for them to push that bitch up. To justify them going ahead and putting it on three a day and getting your power rotation and that. And this is not a first, pick your shit up first market. It's all, they never, never open shit. But we can be though. We can, but we have to have the artists as well working because the music will rock the clubs. Go to the clubs. You don't see the clubs rocking. So the music will rock the clubs, but the artists have to start stepping outside of the city limits to help give the people something to fight for. You know what I'm saying? Whether it's the YouTube numbers, whether it's the Instagram numbers, or it's just a motherfucker from Tyler calling back, hey, what's this record doing up there in Dallas? You know what I mean? It's like we need, it's a whole lot of shit to go with. This is my concern when it comes to any industry. If it's big like F and F was, you can't stop it. It just gonna go. Nah, you can't stop it. Is it certain ones it's just gonna go? See that's an anthem. You see what I'm saying? A hit record gonna jump over everything. Let's go. Playing a simple hit record wheel. I tell the artist all the time, and you gonna be an artist and you think you gonna pop overnight, you got, you need a hit. Super hit. You need a hit. And I'm not even from the lock is my opinion that record blew up on some, they was trying to make fun of the motherfucker shit. You know what I'm saying? The video, they was making fun of the video. The video was so ratchet and so crazy. I thought it was organic and creative. Yes, but hey, no, straight up. Niggas was laughing. I remember comments. No lie, bro. No lie. I remember comments on my shit. Well, motherfucker was like, I see through Facebook is like, man, everybody like they panty stank in that video. No, no, I'm bro, I can pull it out. I'm just saying they was joking until that shit caught fire. You know what I mean? That's how it was getting the shares. Exactly. Now, yeah, the shares was it was like the hate almost off of it. Exmit it. Pop. Hey, that's all the haters. Because right now. What? That's what I say. That's what I say. Exactly. And what God say, would motherfuckers use, think they gonna use against me. No, no. To fail you. Yeah, exactly. Bro, it turned to the good days. The worst person, the worst thing about a person is gonna be pushed to the forefront. And if they know how to manipulate and milk it, they gonna eat. You dig on what I'm saying? Like, I can't, it ain't really no way to put it. Like, like y'all said, like they talking about them, they embrace it. They could have folded it and been on the internet arguing with people and that would have diluted what they was pushing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To keep your head down and you still working? Yeah. Let them folks talk, because they gonna talk. Because what I tell y'all earlier, everybody not gonna like you. But also that for Glorilla, she been doing work. Like she, like how you seen her? She was already like, had like songs, songs. So she was already doing, that's just a song that I guess they took, you know, and it was making fun. Yeah, but it's a hit. I got to think that song. You heard it? Yeah, I hear it right now. That bitch was booming before it, blue, blue, right? Like before they put on say cheese, I saw it off say cheese. Shout out Sean Cut. I saw it off say cheese my first time. But I think it was out before he posted, you know what I'm saying? I saw Trilla of her just like dancing to it in the bathroom or some shit and it was gone. Wow. It was gone from there. I saw, I saw her seeing the other girls take the sound and start doing it. And the video came out. And that's why it's really important to do visuals too. Correct. I mean, just going back to what we saw my earlier, I mean, but I just want Dallas to have that. I want us to stay together and like, like have our sound, have our people where we can actually say, okay, that's us, you know, cause they come, you know, we show so much love to everybody. We could be a small Atlanta. We were actually hard though. We were in the way out cause like, man, look, you know, it is in a way, but you know how they be talking about like, man, Dallas don't support Dallas. Don't support Dallas. But look, every studio this month is funded by Dallas artists. So they support in studios. Every time we do these open mic shows and we do these things at these different clubs, these artists are having eight people supporting them coming out. You know what I'm saying? If a Dallas artist is making any noise, it's because a Dallas section is booming them because they're not going outside the city. So it's hard for me to say that Dallas is not supporting Dallas, you know what I'm saying? Because they do support their artists. It may be segregated, but they do support in all type of ways, bro. You know what I'm saying? From the producers, to the engineers, to the artists, to the video artists, you know what I'm saying? I think about that. You know how many is the engineers, who is the most? When you think about, like, I think about these radio dudes. I ain't a lot of y'all. I be thinking about all of them, hip-cheat them and all of them. Like, who helped the music the most? Was it Greg Street when he was here? When it was six o'clock town street? Or was it Bay Bay? Who helped the music in Dallas? I'm not talking about all these other cities. I think he already answered that earlier. Like, all these dudes, like, I have been one of these radio stations the people that actually worked there not try to look out. Okay, that's the way they can. It's just, they're employees, bro. So they can't do that. They literally, they do every, bro, and they try to do any and everything they can. And they employ about them Jews. Both stations. All right, you feel to get banned. They employ about them Jews. How many of these is what it is? She's not in line. I've seen her. Jaime runs the goddamn K-104. I've seen him. I was 15 seeing him. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's about business. You know what I'm talking about? They all about ratings. They do try to sell. It is a business. And like he says, all those guys try to help. Everybody put out a word cat daddy. Man, cat daddy was one of my biggest supporters still is. Wow. Every time he had a chance, man, he had me doing this, doing this, you know? And it's like, they do as much as they can, but they can only go so far. But I would think like, this is my fear. And y'all can tell me y'all on the same page. I feel like it's going to bring radio to an extinction. And let me tell you why. Because when we listen to music now, the radio is so far behind. You can almost hear. It's always been behind now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The first time you heard the song was on the radio. It wasn't never behind because I think about the access. Now we have so many ways you can stream. You can go to Apple Music. You can go to YouTube. You can go to Instagram. You have so many other avenues that allow you to get new music first. Right? That's what they always say. Music first, you heard it here first. Yeah, but the bad songs, the hard songs weren't on the radio a lot of time when I was growing up. We're not hearing it first there. It's a lie. But see, radio gonna, let me tell you why radio gonna last for as long. Average hours? Because that's... So let me tell you something. Remember when they thought that BCR was gonna last forever? And now who got a BCR? But BCR wasn't average. Me, nigga. I can guarantee you this, if you can put in a BCR, hey, this little running intro gonna show up on, no matter what blockbuster you put in this moment. In this BCR, I'm popping up. That's why they obsolete. But on radio, they doing it now. They doing it now. Amazon, they doing it on YouTube. They doing advertisements on Instagram. They doing it anywhere. But you can pay for premium packages to skip. And you gotta understand, it's a lot of people that still don't use those phones in those streams. The one thing about it that's different than everything is well, and I know y'all gonna say, well, but it's free and you ride on your car and you can turn it on. It's always there. You know, the commercials, I ain't gonna lie, I pay to get past them on YouTube. Oh yeah, for sure. Me too, it's cool. I ain't gonna lie to you. I don't really listen to you. No, no, no, no, no, hold up, hold up. You said a real smart thing. You pay to get past it so they're still getting their money off of the commercial that things working with. So what's the industry? You know what I mean? So it's hard. I just want the radio to be a little bit more just welcoming. Like, I want us to be more welcoming. It has something on there where we can hear some new, you know? Shout out 979, bro. You know what I'm saying? Shout out K-104. That's my boy. He called me yesterday. My brother. My boy, Papa Runge. I don't know how this is going to sound. Hollywood's eight. Shout out to Mr. Hit That. You know what I'm saying? That's my boy. Street swag Sunday. He's still pumping and doing shit, bro. You know what I'm saying? They do what they can. What they can when they can. They just need help as just like us. Yeah, they need help, bro. You know what I'm saying? Shit. I gotta ask this question. Cause I be on everybody. It's my big thing. Mr. Hit That gonna see this. He gonna be like, he right. And you gonna agree with it? I be on them about the visuals. Not about them. About them having their own brand. The YouTube channels, the stuff. I always talk to all the people that I meet. I be like, man, y'all meet people every day. Why y'all not? Y'all gonna be pushing this. They're like, man, we don't know. We ain't never. It's like they really never even think about that. They just focused on take care of me and my direct deposit tighten. I'm being real. Not only that, bro. They got so much shit going on fam. So they can't do nothing. You gotta understand, bro. When you got 30 things going on, sometimes bro, you gotta understand what's bringing your bread and butter. What's for show. And then what's a maybe. You know what I mean? Some of the maybes might be million dollar deals. You know what I'm saying? But these niggas got man, I know, like baby a good friend of mine, bro. Okay. I don't even know how this nigga sleep. You know what I'm saying? You gotta do a lot of stuff. This nigga be everywhere, bro. He might be in Dallas right here. He ain't been in Shrevepuppet in that night. Being Orlando over here. He ain't been in Philly over here. He ain't been back for the radio. He ain't been in the box. He ain't been in the box. So it's like they got a lot of things going on. And that's for the radio. Say another phrase. It's brand. No, that's, I think that's his brand. I think baby got a bigger brand than the artist. To me, baby's been able to brand himself. Them gold teeth. That's baby. That's branding. Okay. To me, I can see, I can feel baby in the room before I'm in there. Well, baby been doing that shit for fucking 30 years plus, dude. When I was 14, 15 at Cocoa Pellets, nigga. Cocoa Pellets? Yes, I'm just saying. I was got shot in the head. Anything going. That man was working. And he's been working every since. Consistently. You know what I'm saying? Consistently. And he had a fucking downfall where they tried to do some bullshit on him and then try to put him and he fought and he came to Dallas and got even bigger. You know what I'm saying? And so it's like, yeah, he's doing a lot of shit, bro. But that shit takes a lot of fucking time and effort, bro. You know what I'm saying? But that's a big, what you said, you don't even know what you said. But when you said he took a downfall and tried to play with him, I think in anybody's life, you know how when you have a plan, like, okay, I work for the station. I'm getting this shit. I'm doing a good job. It's, I'm doing pretty good for myself. I'm, you know, I'm straight. And everybody loved me. I'm showing love and everything. Until you hit that downfall and they play with your money or play with your like pocket or make you feel like you're disposable or whatever. Then you realize, oh, this thing as solid as it needs to be. I need to make sure I have a plan, you know, a plan around the plan. And that's when you, I think it triggers to say, okay, I need to do, I need to have my other side. Cause I know when I have my job. Hold on, I knew this was about her, y'all. Just talk to me. When I have my job. Cause she got fired after she left to boost the thing. I had my job. You know what I'm saying? I knew when I had my man, I'm saying she talked about it by herself. Okay. I'll talk to myself a lot. I'm not, I'm saying you're talking about yourself. What's it worth there? See, see, look at, it had to be corporate. It had to be corporate. Very corporate. Very corporate. When she came back from that boosted bad ass. They wanted to get me out the door. But I was thinking about, I was on there for years. I'm doing a great job. I'm the top of what I'm doing. I'm bringing in 150 a year. That's big. That's good. That's big money. You good money. You rolled up. Oh, come on. I'm from here and just really. I knew it was about us. Yeah, Lee. They say, you know, we're going to just go separate ways. I was like, what way is that? I saw you in Blissey's living room. That was the point. I'm not seeing you. I'm only saying because I saw you in a porno. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. I'm not seeing you. So what it made me realize. Crazy. What it made me realize. Barbara's back there calling everyone niggers. She get disneyed. Oh, everybody's going now. Fuck them all. She was mad. She was a union. She's cool when they do it. Well, I knew it. Go back and watch that episode when she left. She came over here. You get to see her. Really? I'm going to. I'm going to. No, straight up. It's over there. I'm not disneyed Barbara's over here. But it wasn't until that setback that I thought everything was so solid that I had to be able to realize. I'm still taking it in. Listen, because I'm telling you, I watched it. I'll say I watched it all the way up until it was time to pay. I'm sorry, booze. I watched it all the way up. Dang. You can still pay though right now. And right before that, right before that, y'all was hosting and bringing the girls in. So I know what they saw. It's going down. So when she walked in the office there, what? My niggers. I didn't watch it. I can imagine them saying, hey now, we had a great time. I've seen it. No, no, no. Say, this is the issue. What the fuck was they doing watching it? Right. No, no. Somebody told on you. That's what I'm going to say. I said, who in them told on me? Somebody told on me. Because she was on that whole jail. And we're like, oh girl, what you got in there? Ooh. I saw you in boozy boozy little girl. They are going to have to show me me. And they had to be in beyond the doubt. Sure, I ain't. What? That was when they told you didn't even make it to the job, did you? No, he called me. They found out on the way up there. No, he called me. Save your gas. He called me. He called me. I was driving. He said, hey, Brina. I said, hey, my boss never called me. Because he's like, you're good, whatever. I was like, OK, I was like, this is weird. I'm like, hey, what's going on? He was like, I said, how's your day going? He said, not too good. I said, I said, what do you mean, what's going on? He says, unfortunately, they made a decision. I was like, I said, what? Yeah, they got to let you go. Next Friday will be your last day. I said, all right. Oh, so you had to go back and keep working? Hell no. So you didn't go see them, see them now? Yeah, no, I was like, for what? They give you a reason? Something about something outside of, you know, they didn't line up with the company's image. And I don't know. You're sitting there, so. But to this day, Brina's still looking out for me. But yeah, yeah, yeah, but it made me realize as solid as I thought that probably would have been. What's happening that was? I do pharmaceutical sales. Oh, OK. So as solid as it was, it was also a mind, it was a, it was mind-opening. Also, I was like, OK, boom, I can't put all my eggs in one basket like that. So I need to make sure I line different things and have my own stuff so they can never cut me off of me. Yeah, she do pharmaceutical sales. Yeah, and we lost 300 turks in 300 hours. And it seemed to be looking like it was going to be. That's what I'm about to see, that's what I'm talking about. Inventory, inventory. Inventory seems to be. I got to run down through there one more time, man. Just give me the next project. What's been going on with you, Little Running Mother F? I don't have a name for the next project, but I'm actually working on another project with club music. OK. You know what I'm saying? I just dropped one with Go Prez and it's just, you know, it's all gems, but it's time to, you know, turn this shit up again. Already. Already, yes. I feel like I saw him at an interview with them. He was, he was, hold on, no, let me tell you again. I hope you remember what you were doing. You were on stage. I want to say it was House of Blues. I've been there a few times. OK, you were doing it. You were talking, they were asking you questions and you was like, I don't care if the ladies feel like this. And you said, I don't know. You're talking about the, um, um, um, when Angela Yead and them came down here. Angela Yead, yes. I was there. What, what, um, I hate to not know. It was lip service. It was lip service. They traveled and took the park here. And they brought me out. So I don't know what the fuck happened. I was wanting you to answer things differently, but you was like, nah, I don't care. I didn't know. I'm very honest. I can't, um, I can't be nobody different for somebody else, you know what I'm saying? Because when I go home, lay in the bed at night, that person that's mad at me, you know what I'm saying? They not softening and fluffing that pillow for me. You dig on, I'm saying. I only care about the people that's at the house with me. You know what I'm saying? Like I walk by them every day. They gonna make my food. They gonna make my drinks. Mope up a mad at me. They ain't doing nothing for me. Cool. Be mad over there though. That's right. Oh my goodness. You get to go home. Angela is gonna get all of his venues. That's what she do. Oh yeah. Now, you, next project, man. Like what's, what's, what we got coming? What we got going? All right. Next project is going to be the triple D go. But before I stop, I want to say something to you. You know what I'm saying? This is back again to the artist. You know what I mean? This is some shit I was sitting over there thinking. I want to talk to him. It's about longevity. It's about the importance of life. You know what I mean? About living with your legacy. I want to give you some examples real quick. So hands down, niggas say Pop, greatest rapper of his era. You know, some people would argue. You know what I'm saying? Pop, greatest rapper of his era. You know, he had Snoop right up under. You know what I mean? But he was killing Snoop. He was out shining Snoop and I hold him in the way. Hold another form. You know what I mean? Pop died at an early age. Yeah, he did. Snoop was up under him. Wasn't nowhere near Pop was. Actor, writer, activist, all that shit. Wasn't nowhere near him. Snoop continued to live to where he is now. Snoop is one of the biggest artists ever to come through. You know what I mean? He done transformed. He done transformed his shit to the point to where he's on cooking shows with Martha Stewart. He is a household name. He's bigger than Pop ever can be. You know what I mean? Because he lived and he elevated. That's all right. So let's take it on the other side. You got Biggie, greatest rapper out of the North, out of New York, greatest ever. All right? He accomplished shit. No, ain't nobody else accomplished. He died early. You know what I mean? But he died great, but you got Jay-Z who was up under Biggie. Nobody, you know what I'm saying? Somebody might laugh at it. But he lived and through his life, he grew, elevated. You know what I mean? Now, richest rapper ever. You know what I'm talking about? Biggie can't even be mentioned in the same sentence on some of the shit that he got going on because he did not even live to even perfect up. So I'm saying with artists as a whole. You preach it. Don't think about the short, getting it quick. Longevity is everything, bro. I don't care if you live in 60 years, 50 years later and you're broke. You're still living and you're still being able to game. So that's the one thing about it, bro. Let me ask, let me say this. And that's from the triple OG. Oh yeah, that's it. Triple D-L-G. I wanna know what y'all think. And y'all don't have to say nothing, good job. But when I see like, okay, say Quavo and Offset go through what they went through last night, well, takeoff, pass away. In my mind, and even when Dolph and them have issues and I know people might not feel the same way I feel when they die or whatever. Back in the days when we was younger, I know back in my day, when something tragic happened, all of the major people would come together and say something and try to show unity. Why is it that the JZs and all of these different guys, whoever, the Kanye, the puff dad, why don't nobody say nothing no more? Listen, bro. Do you understand what I just said? I know you're asking for it, but at least listen. I wanna hear why nobody says nothing openly anymore. Come on, fam. They saying it, but they can't keep saying it every week. But when did they say it? When did they come together? Bro, I watched recipe this morning. Come up. I get it. I know that, but I'm talking about coming together. You understand what I'm saying? When I was young, these people would actually come together. May even do a song, may even do a tour saying they've stopped the violence tour or something. I'm being real. Stop playing. I'm being real too. I didn't hear every single person they talked about. I don't hear every single, any nigga in the industry, I don't hear them speak out on this violent shit, but it's happening at a rate so fucking fast, it just don't make no sense. But it would be way more live if they came together and did it and people seen that unification, bro. But what he said is, if it's happening every week. No, but if they ever came together since they've been up on this money thing, let's be real. Let me ask you this. This is a real question. And everybody's saying for you, everybody's saying, what did take off do fucked up to get killed? That man didn't do nothing wrong. So if you doing right and bad shit happens, you know what I'm saying? Come on, you can't, you can't, them niggas got millions, yet they doing they thing, bro. But you cannot change that. You cannot change open carry law, what a dumb motherfucker do with a gun. You can't change what people do when they in a position. Yeah, but I still think people, like I still think unity means something, bro. Maybe I'm tripping. More unity, we need unification. Are you wanting to see like, we are the world. No, it'll be that, it'll be that, it don't have to be, that's all, we need to bring it, make something new. I think it makes a change. I feel like that. I don't think the unity is there, bro. I don't think it is, not in our leadership. You bring back Catch the Fade. Okay, so Catch the Fade is basically, What does that mean? I think we need it for once. Catch the Fade. Let me tell you why Catch the Fade never gonna happen. No, it's not true. Go ahead, and I guarantee you, I'm from the world. Catch the Fade. We could not be like, go ahead, tell me why my show Catch the Fade can't happen. Tell me why. Tell me why. Because what you were gonna do is, you were gonna get, you were most definitely gonna get macho rappers. You were gonna get the rapper, the, you were gonna- No, no, I will only go get people. You wouldn't have to be rappers. Enter entertainment that have open beefs that they have been going back and forth. And we just gonna let y'all catch the Fade. Look, Niggas is 115 pounds wet. They're not gonna be catching no Fade like that. You can't talk like that. They don't talk like that. If you cannot come to Catch the Fade and go ahead to have this person, don't talk like that. But that's what they have. They be like, I shoot that, me they gonna shoot that gun. We don't wanna hear it no more. Exactly. I'm like, I'm gonna go shoot that gun. What we call in your bluff? Listen, I don't wanna hear the tough talk then. The same thing, the same thing Gilly Kidd was talking about earlier about Muffers putting shit on camera. Don't, nobody wanna be singing with the camera. Getting beat up. Don't be talking like that. Yeah, I don't wanna see, I don't wanna hear it. I don't wanna hear you talking like that. But look, the culture eats you up for getting beat up. Exactly. You might as well die. You can't say that. I'm dead ass. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Vero just had an issue in here, cool. But that's a whole other situation. Why? He got jumped. He got jumped. It was multiple people. You know what I'm saying? It was unfair. It was unfair. One-on-one phase. That'd have been a one-on-one phase and he ended up like that. That would have got worse. It would have been bad. So y'all telling me this. So y'all telling me this, so for example. He got his own, he got his own. So, we talked about this the other week. Charleston White and Tia. I don't hear a nothing about that nigga no. I ain't from the lie. I'm glad, you brought him up but I didn't hear that nigga all week. Nah, I really didn't. Yeah, you didn't hear him all week. So what I'm saying is, if we say, okay, y'all talking to all this noise going back and forth, y'all old us. So y'all already know how it go. We gonna put y'all in the ring. If you don't wanna get in the ring, then you don't need to be talking tough. Don't talk tough. You don't get to talk tough pass. No, as long as he pay his phone bill, he gotta talk tough pass. Because like he said, we in the social media age, bro. So they paying. You can talk tough from a very safe place. Exactly. We don't live in the time where I tell my partners this all the time. I remember when you didn't see somebody until you got on a bike and rode across Tennessee. Like even cell phones were like, we was buying no kids from the dollar store and putting minutes on it. I remember my first phone snake and shit like that. So communication, you weren't doing all this communication. We communicating more than we ever had ever. Yeah. We talking, I hate it. We talk so goddamn much. You hate it. I was able to go through life with a goddamn consistent, with a consistent, equal, you understand me, of my free time, me being social, like, especially. You could cut it off. You could be able to say, okay, I'm gonna cut it off. You get your time. I don't wanna talk, so I'm gonna go here. Now it's like you be on the toilet. All day you get information that you might not walk. You know without falling asleep with that home. Wake up with that home. No, facts. You talking over here, you're talking all day. I know. I was on the toilet for like 45 minutes because I took my phone with me. I was so mad at myself. I was like my ass going numb. If my kids going to my daughter, I'd be like, you better be on that phone. Right. They never just woke up and they're still sitting there, just still, they ain't even. Tramping. God damn. Man, man, hey, I done held y'all long enough, man, so yeah. Okay, so you got the new music coming out, right? Tripody OG, right? Tripody Goat. Oh, gold. Okay, so I know you gonna have visuals, right?

It's the app too though. It's tricking the nickname. It's tricking the nickname. That's all that is. No, that ain't no filter. There ain't no filter. I'm going to die for it. Trumingo coming though, man, and I'm very old. Actually, I'm celebrating my 40th birthday. Hard. That's hard. In two weeks. What are we doing? 40th. I'm doing my birthday party at the dive.

You got something to run in, mother hell? Little run, what you, what you, what you, what you? I know you have new music and everything else like that. You be going different places and everything, right? What you feel about the baby dropping Megan's steady name in his song? How you feel about that? Because you write a lot. For a lot of different artists and everything else. But what you feel about how he did that? Shit. I feel like he did what he felt like he should have did. That was his move. That was his move. I don't feel like he got nothing from it though. What you mean? I don't know. We don't personally know what he got from it. You talking about it? I'm talking about it. I guess so. I guess so. But I'm not, but this is the thing. I'm not talking about his art. You know what I'm saying? You heard the song. I drive it on place people, bro. I know, I did. Every song, I say this with music. I try to tell artists around me because they make the same song over and over on a different beat. Or they try to keep this same fan base and bring it in. I tell them like, man, if you're going to be an artist, you got to understand each song is a brand new canvas. And though it might be your first time seeing this canvas, this might not represent exactly what my art is. This might be me trying new colors. Oh, we doing pastel this time. You seeing that, you know what I'm saying? So each song is for show his art. You know what I'm saying? You can't strip some bars out of a record. Like that's like taking the face off of a picture you painted. Like I don't like how you put them lips on there. You shouldn't put them there. So they for show his art. That's just his move. I don't know. I wouldn't move like that. I wouldn't move like that because I want to go back and again, you know what I'm saying? I would love to go back. But he probably won't go back. Well, you understand. Sometimes you can't go back. Yeah, you're right. So, y'all, y'all talk to him. You realize you can't go back because when you go ahead and drop it down. I'm going to drop this out right now. That's all I can do. Man, say, man, look, man. Thank you so much, Lou Diamond. My boy, my, my guy. Oh, yeah, man. Little running mother.
