 That a major man. Yeah, cause you went, I seen Slim when he went, you know what I'm saying? I seen Flip when he went and then all these people, but they was around you for they went. This is weird. Yeah, it's weird. You know what I'm saying? But this is what happened. A lot of them came back though. A lot of them came back. But you know what I'm saying? They came back, but I'm just saying when they leave and y'all doing things to do that build up. Right, I missed those big checks. I know. You feel me? Like, I kind of exposed you. I kind of got black ball on a couple of things. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah, you want to talk about it? I mean, like, you want to talk about it? Like, like. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. All these years and not being independent all these years, seeing people signed that was with you. Cause like I said earlier, man, you know what I mean? Yeah, that made you mad. Yeah, cause you went, I seen Slim when he went. You know what I'm saying? I seen Flip when he went and then all these people, but they was around you for they went. This is weird. You know what I'm saying? But this is what happened when I came back though. Lot of them came back. But you know, they came back, but I'm just saying when they leave and y'all doing things to build up, do that build up. Right, I missed those big checks. I know. You feel me? Like, I kind of exposed you. I kind of got black ball on a couple of things. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah, you want to talk about it? I mean, like, like. You want to talk about it? Like, like, like one, like one A and O's dude, one, he was like, man, I ain't gonna say who, but they said, don't sign you. They say you hard to work with, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, what? Then like with the Slim situation, somebody, you know, somebody told the told the lawyer, he don't want no deal. So in the scope, like, well, he is, he don't want to sign. I saw, I got, I'm like, I ain't say that shit. Who said that? You feel me? Yeah. You know, like, you know, the whole Flip situation was like, that was crazy. You know what I'm saying? Like every time it would be right there, I remember when all that was going on and I'm into it cause I'm Texas, man. So I'm looking at all the back and forth to all the hoopla that's going on. And I know already something great is happening cause that's usually the way it go down when something great is happening. I was shocked that he didn't sign. Yeah. I was waiting, bro. I mean, the opportunity, I didn't get the opportunity. When we had the opportunity, you know, a couple of deals was on tape or something good. But, you know, it didn't go through. Like when Kaz, one of them had a deal, me and some of them was up there. Yeah. We were finished signing, but we wind up not signing. Steve Rifkin, you know, he got mad, you know. So it is what it is, but it is, you know. Now, watch this though. Say I had signed and got into a situation where one of those kind of labels shelf your ass. Yeah. Yeah. I done seen it happen. You feel what I'm saying? I done seen it happen, bro. A lot back then. A lot back then. I've been at my freedom all these years. You feel them record when I won't do what I want? You feel what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. So not like Jay-Z and all these different people, they want to be independent, really. Yeah, of course. You feel what I'm saying? A lot of people want to be independent. So I'm happy with my situation. Like I say again, you was ahead of your time in certain situations because right now the popular thing to do is be independent. And you are already with dealing with independent with distribution. Well, back then, I always want to bring it back to Houston and Dallas. The difference is right. And Houston, they did have all that talent, but they also had Southwest Wholesale down there. Mm-hmm. That was big. That Southwest Wholesale was huge for Houston. Mm-hmm. And I'm just sitting here thinking about it because I was going to ask E, because E been down with Dallas for a long time. I was at that show, Cliff Diamonds. Yeah, Diamonds. I was at Cliff Diamonds with him. And I had to show at Diamonds every month. Ooh. That was, come on, man. What was that dude named, DJ Ray? Yeah, DJ Ray. DJ Ray, rest in peace, DJ Ray. Yeah, I mean, we used to go to Cliff Diamonds, X-Dyed Winsties, Seema Boys Performing. What do you think was the differences with Dallas artists compared to the Houston artists? At that time, it was just more artists out in Houston than it was in Dallas. Actually, not. We had them. We had them. But you have to realize. But we had already identified our sound. That's what it is. That's a difference. Yes. So you think if you go from Nemesis, then you go from Quint Black, you go from, you see what I'm saying? Yes. Different type. None of them sound alike. That's right. None of them sound alike. So there's no certain sound. Now Dallas has always been a big media city, though. You feel what I'm saying? I'm a consumer. Right, but media and techs, everybody come this year in Dallas. Oh, yeah. Now, once like my Dougie came out and different things, Dallas started identifying a certain sound. You feel what I'm saying? But the city found it. But by us having sideways wholesale. That was huge. Then you had Gonzalez. Then you had Selecto hits. The reason sideways wholesale folded, like they would give us 50,000 or $100,000 in advance, right? It's a lot of money back then, bro. Right. But the dads that started coming, you know what I'm saying? I remember. Masterpiece and everybody. And they was giving them 250,000. I remember. 300,000. So they broke the bank on them. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.
