Yes, sir. Uh. Yeah. Uh-huh, uh-huh. I want you to have the square. That'll be hard in there. You know what this is. Like, you know what you need on here? You need a nigga in the beginning that say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and you don't stop. Yeah. And it don't stop. Yo. Oh, my God. And it don't stop. One into the four. You already know how I'm coming through the door. Uh-uh. Let me bring it back. One into the four. One into the one. One into the four. Come on. Ooh. I get down on my dick. I get down on my dick. Yeah. That's hard. We're going to take about time. You are on the 85 South Show. I'm about to show you how we get down with high flow. Welcome to the ATL and T.A. That's where I stay. I keep the K right there with me. You know how. Because I'm all about my chips when I dip. These niggas know what's happened when I trip. Ooh. Look at the drip. Don't slip. Going off so hard and you didn't save me none. The oldest one. My mom was the oldest son. I'm just starting so this shit just begun now. I'm up to a back flip, bring it back flip. Ain't even know we coming through with some black crisps. And I know another nigga on the other side. And he told me, lick the other bullshit rat. But I was on some other shit. I mean some other shit. And I was about to go and see what they were fucking with. And they didn't know that they were fucking with a fool. Because I done came like a handyman with so many tools. Ooh. So what you pulled? Did you pull the monkey rat? Uh-uh. Now what you pulled? You ain't stopping with this hat? Uh-uh. Now what you pulled? Come on, Shawty. Don't play it. Go ahead and get with me. Hey, you would have thought I wasn't going to hell with a hamper. But I'm a Mississippi nigga, not Alabama. Uh-uh. And so I came through with the big shit. Yeah. That even if they didn't get hit, they didn't get hit. Ooh. I like what you did. Yeah, you feel me? Yeah. Yeah, they put a bit of cold little St. Ice commercial from back in the day. Look at that with your soul. You feel me? Two shoes. You feel me? Pat. Pat. Fuck, I hit with a pat. Picking up a few of my left out. No cap. This better have my sweet potato. I got them edges. Come on. Okay. Y'all, you heard what he said. Yeah. Now DC. Uh-uh. This one of them won. I think so, my boy. Now, we can get this man all kinds of intros. Whoo. But I think this is probably one of the most important figures in hip hop culture. Talk your talk now. Come on. He was in them room. Uh-uh. He sold them records. Uh-uh. Them concepts, them ideas, them art shows, them exhibits. I think they scared them. Ten shoes. What? Lecker. What? This is one of the niggas that showed niggas how to be rich. Come on now. Shit you're supposed to do when you get the money. Don't forget about the clothes, nigga. This what you do when you get the money. Uh-uh. And he is an excellent artist. Quite a culture voucher. Come on, man. He the nigger that had to be the nigger. Uh-uh. You know how when you need a nigger that says some shit, that it needs to be said, but nigga ain't gonna say it. Uh-uh. He the nigger that'll say it. They gonna say it. I'm talking about air replay too. You know him as one of them. Coldest. Coldest. Mm-hmm. Intelligent. Mm-hmm. Money making. Mm-hmm. The definition of a hustler. Come on now. I ain't you the boss and you the janitor. Come on, man. This one of the only motherfuckers that get on a whole interview and speak nothing but common sense the whole time. Come on, man. Never been afraid to speak the truth. Shit. I can't believe he in him fucking with us today, man. This couch. We done lost count of the millions of shit that he sold. He done made billions of dollars in revenue. Mm-hmm. And he was the nigger who walked up in there and told the white folk, give me some! Uh-uh. This not a Def Jam tour. Right. Why the fuck they wearing Def Jam jacket? Come on, man. Come on, man. His son got cookies, man. Come on, man. And they deliver. Y'all niggas gonna stop acting like y'all the only ones getting money. Come on, man. I'm talking about he put everybody you like. He was right there. None other than. Ooh, man. Hip-hop royalty. Ooh. Mr. Ooh. Dating and dance. Come on, somebody. That's the definition of putting respect on somebody's name. Come on, man. Appreciate it. That was dope. Hey, man, I'm gonna tell you. The only thing you forgot was the pause. We also invented pause. You definitely did. But look down here, we don't like to say that shit. I had to say something that you didn't tell them. You don't like to say it. You don't stop a whole company and say, pause. Pause, what? What the fuck am I talking about? You said this shit. Why you thinking like that? I think down here you say it a lot. Pause. Hey, man. I was saying, you look like you was having the most fun every time we seen you in the video. Facts. True. Every time we saw you, you looked like you was the one having the most fun. Facts. That is a fact. Being an example, people don't understand like, you talk it, but walking what you talk. You got to live that shit. Even when you sometime may have to put yourself on the line, you got to show them that, listen, what I'm talking about is this is the only fucking way. Well, I'm only thinking boss. And sometimes I'm not around people that thinking boss. So it's a language that people sometimes don't understand, but I'd be like, that's the only mentality that you can think in. I don't know any other mentality. So if you're talking to me like I'm not a boss, I'm not going to understand you. And also I might take it as a sign of disrespect. If you think you're a boss and you're not, if you are a boss, if you disrespect me and talk to me like I'm not a boss, then that means you don't respect me as one. That means you think I think I'm a boss and I'm not. That's a trigger for me. And then sometimes you talk, you know, because also like I consider myself a general. Sometimes you talk to soldiers and they don't understand general talk. They want to be told what to do. They don't want to learn. Just tell me what to do. You know, but I like to make a soldier into a general because I got a lot of wars to fight. You know, but, you know, at the end of the day, those wars are for love. But yeah, so that's what it is. It's just a mentality. It's a CEO mentality. How do you stay in that? How do you understand? I think that's why I have a problem with when the soldiers don't want to be generous. They just want to be soldiers. And you're like, God damn, I don't know how to help somebody to stay the same. I never, I don't know how to do that. Well, then you have to shed them. You know, the only people you don't shed is your family, but sometimes you got to shed them as well. You got to give them space. Right. You know, some people don't evolve at the same pace. That's why I smoke weed. You know, the ideas that I have, they don't realize themselves for decades. But people constantly want to be stuck on a Titanic knowing it's going to hit an iceberg just because they're used to it. Patterns hypnotize people. When you put something in pause and someone face every day, all day, they don't know any better. They just, even if it doesn't feel right, they do what they're told, like, you know, look at the way the world is set up. Right. You know, we're taught to be to sit behind a desk for eight hours a day while the sun is out, while we're children. So that we're prepared to do that when we become adults. You ever been to a school and they taught you how to pay taxes or have money? Right. Or taught you how to pass a law? Right. So these are logical things that should be taught. And also, the curriculum that is implemented today is a curriculum that was made by Thomas Jefferson. And this is facts. And that was for a white man to know how to tell a black man what to do and for a black man to know how to listen to a white man. And we still have that curriculum today. When we go to school, we're presented a sport and what pause is dangled is you could break a social class if you try to win lotto and spend your whole life not learning and doing a sport. And while you're in that team, they don't teach you about anything that happens after 30. Knowing that more than likely you're not going to become a professional. And if you do, the likelihood of it lasting and you're not getting injured is slim to none. So why are you going to distract a kid in the school and you're not going to teach them about what happens if this shit don't work out? Right? Why do schools look like courtrooms in jails? Especially the schools in LA. Everywhere. Every school looks like a courtroom. It looks like a hospital. They all look the same. It's programmed. I go to a kid's prison to the school in Chicago. What they're doing to those kids is the saddest shit and I suspect they're doing it everywhere. The kids don't have outdoor space. They breathe recycled air. When they get locked up, they're given a drug. The drug makes you impotent. It kills your libido. And they say if you take the drug, you can get out quicker. It's called the CUT program. So they all doped up, all of them. There's no therapy. The therapy that's available are all white women. Talking to children that kill people. Black kids. The education, the worst part about it is when they let them back on the street, the average reading score is fourth grade. So that ensures that they build another jail cell. So the recidivative rate is almost at 99%. So imagine bringing the kid, doping them up, not educating them and putting them right back in the wall with no education but addicted to a drug and the only way you can get it is to go back to jail. So now jail's not that bad to them. They're just preparing the kid to go and be an adult in jail. Now the worst part about it is for every kid, the budget is $1.2 million. Every kid is a millionaire once he gets there, but he can't afford to buy a toothbrush. He gets no commissure. That's torture. And this modern day, that's going on now to these kids. So when I go in there, they don't let us take. But if I have girls with me, they cry. It's really disturbing and y'all should check it out one day. But that's how they're programming our kids to accept things, unrecognized trauma, where it's cool for us to hurt each other, glorify it. And also there's an algorithm for it where you get paid and not ever do anything to the people that are repressing us. It's all a program. If you just sit back and don't do, you just got to look at what's logical. You know what I mean? So I just always look at what's logical and I'm not going to complain. I'm like, you know, that's a good trick. It's fucked up that is happening to us. But what's been erased from our memory is when we were in control. Like Moors, we were torturing them. They were our slaves. They've erased all of that history. We talked about them more in school, right? So there was a time and I guess when you get abused and you're not that strong, you get very strategic about how you make strong people think they're weak. They've just been tricking us. That's why I laugh at them. But I just been aware of it the whole time. I think it's because of the family that I grew into. You know, we've never been bullied and just the people I grew up around. We've never been on that end. We were always like the people that bullied the bully. I'm not saying me, but the people I was around. And I appreciated the fact that I didn't have to do what they did and that I could do what I wanted freely. And that's why I was just always felt untouchable. And I still feel that way. And you know, I'm 52 years old. You don't. Like what I do also is I can time travel. So when I was young, I would get in my spacecraft at light speed to what I would look like when I was 52. And I was like, I don't want to be on the greatest hits tour. I don't want to be old dancing with a gray beard with champagne. I don't want to be pushing old work. So I knew the trajectory of what I was doing was going to have me doing some corny shit when I was older. So I was like, yo, this shit was too easy. I sold three companies before I was 40, before I was 35. So I'm like, I'm going to do this shit on my own. And I want to make sure everything I do in this moment when I'm 50, I'm prepared for what's going on now. See, when you hustle or you like start a company, you don't start a company that worked in the past. You got to think about what they're going to be doing in the future. So I started building everything. Like I looked at the industry as it stood 10 years ago, 15, like the Titanic. As soon as I saw the internet, I was like, all this shit is over. I don't want to see people with nobody was listening. So I said, fuck it. Y'all can say what you want. Y'all stay on this Titanic and I'll go build a brand new ship. And when y'all hit the iceberg, I'll have this ship. And when you're building yours, I'll be like, but I was trying to tell the niggas. I'm still telling people. That's why, you know, in this moment, everything got to be new. So that's why when you said he had sneakers, I still got sneakers. Nicolette got to pair one right now. Those are CEOs. And I didn't have glasses before, but I got them now. These are brand new. They're saying rockwear. This is CEO. I'm not trying to bring back some old shit. That's corny. And if I do some old shit, it's going to be different. So you just heard me play some freeway shit. You can't tell me you take it rock or fall. I'll fuck with it when I feel like it. I feel like it now. So now I did, I've done, did a project with Cameron. You don't even see it with a track, but I just did a rock and roll project. We can't wait on freeway. I'm dropping a new single, new records tomorrow. I just asked you to download America New, a brand new network. Niggas ain't got networks. Name a nigga that do. And I get the full CPM. So I'm going to teach you something about that because they robbing us. And it's important that y'all realize this. Anyone that's getting their money on YouTube or any platform where there's a commercial, it's called the way you get paid is through a CPM. If you're not talking CPM and you on getting money like that or YouTube, then you sound dumb. You got to know about CPMs. You got to understand CPMs. It means for the, in the ad tech world, it means click per million, but it really means click per thousand. They try to make it so complicated that they put the M up, but that's the Roman numeral for a thousand. So you still, you know, it puts shit in code, but I'm pulling your coat to it now. But like in another world, they might say cost per million, but whatever, but I say click. And it's a commercial that runs, right? Then you get paid for a commercial. YouTube takes the money. I'll say YouTube, Leo Cohen, right? He works for YouTube, but just what he do, right? Just what he represents. And let's say they make $22 off the commercial. It's a $22 CPM. They're going to tell you, you're getting two. So you pay for what you do, and they make 99.5% of the money. And then they don't even tell you how much they're making off you. You just got to take what they give you. That's not called digital slavery. Any place in the world that you work and someone else gets 99.5% of the money for your labor and don't tell you how much they made, that's not slavery. Is it? What's that on the stand? Slavery. Now, I see you got to look at it to a boss that's slavery. It ain't no extent, nigga. You don't make more money off me than off my labor. I make more money off you. I'm not a slave in that tone. Understood. So you're, but in like, oh, it's over, you know, but may I take what I get because I'm broken? Maybe because I never made no money before. I'll take 100,000 a month, but you're making 20. I'm celebrating you because you robbing me. That's a different voice. Are we speaking, are we speaking like your own property versus you working for somebody? What I'm talking about is whatever you put, your content on YouTube, they don't pay for it. What? It's your IP. You put it on there. It's all you. And they get 99% of the commercial that come from it and you don't get a dollar. I mean, you get maybe a dollar. That's digital slavery. That's what I'm saying. I didn't say like modern day Kuta Kente slavery. I said digital. So my point is they don't tell you that, but another thing that they really don't tell you is how much they make off your data. So any aggregation of people in the digital, whether it's YouTube or social media, and you'll be like, how they make their money, Twitter or whatever, they make their money because they're selling your behavior patterns to people. They're just studying your behavior patterns, what you buy, what time you buy it. It's an algorithm. So they sell that data to the people that are doing the advertising. Why would I send a tampon to you? You understand what I'm saying? Or some baby shit too. So they know who to send what to. People buy data now. They don't teach you that. So put it like this. Let me break it down to you like this. Let's say you used to hustle. Let's say you had a brick, but you didn't cook so well. So you go to your man and say, I need you to cook that for me. I had 1,000 grams. He knows how to make it into 2,000 grams. He takes the 1,000, gives you your 1,000, but doesn't tell you, he just made $1,000 off your shoe. Would you be tight? In the street, you put a nigga in the trunk for that. But you're going to celebrate Leo. Right? Put him on a fucking television show and don't ask him no question and celebrate him when he's robbing. And that's what they always do. So I'm not going to complain about it. I made my own network. And what I did, let's say, they get the ads from Pablo. I went around them. I get the ads from Pablo. I get the full CPM. And I got my data. And I could give it away for free. And I could now break it down with a co-creator if I want. But it ain't for everybody. Your work got to be good. And I did my own shit. So I look at people that I look at that change industry because I'm an industry conqueror. What's his name? For Apple? He died? That made Apple? Steve Jobs. So you remember Steve Jobs made IBM or whatever it was. And they took his company, said fuck y'all. I went away for 10 years. I said, I'm going to do that. I'm going to do what Steve Jobs did. I'm going to go do my thing. And I'm not going to exploit anything anymore. It got to be about me. So I went and learned rock and roll. So I could come back good at it. And that's what you just heard. I had to come back and learn the fashion business. And I didn't want nobody else putting up the bread. That's the CEO is. I had to go back and learn how to have a television network because I wanted to make movies. Remember, I made paid in full. And that shit, when they give you a statement, it still says it didn't recoup. That's why it ain't no paid in full too. I ain't make no money off it. I'm fighting in the street over that. I'm going to court over that. And muckbuckers is running up on me. And these are the muckbuckers that made the money. Bring it back. What happened? Don't you guys speak on tune, you know, you're a street nigga. What's going on? What do you mean, in the street? With the paying in full. So this is what happens in... I'll explain the movie business to you, right? Right. So, you'll have... So, boom. Let's say I bought the script from AZ. Right? I got the rights to his life. Then I go to Merrimack's Dimension and they acquired the rights to his life. So now they got it and they're now just paying me a fee to make the movie. And that's what happens in television and all that. So you don't own it and they just pay you a fee. So they put up the money and they pay you a fee and then they start telling you what to do. But I got to deal with everybody in the street. You know, Cam got shot over that shit. You know what I'm saying? So that shit was real. To this day, we're still going through it over that motherfucking thing. So I'm making it now, but I had to have it on my own platform. I had to get the lion's share of the money. I'm the one that got to be fighting in the street. You acquired the rights first. That's what happens. You acquired the rights first. You don't have the money to make it. So now you have to give it to somebody else. You didn't know that? No, no, no, no. All I heard was you acquired the rights at the end of the day acquired the rights. You didn't know that in general? No, I know that's how I go. I'm just listening to your story. Because that's a normal story. I'm saying that's the industry standard. So the same thing with a TV show. You go to have your idea, you go to eat one. They take the idea. They take it from you. Get your life rights. Then they go get a network. A network gives them a budget, but now they're just paying them a fee. So they'll be like, you get $400,000 episode. As long as the episode's all right, I don't care what you do with the money. So a place, a production company, right? Like let's say this, you got cameras. What they'll do is they own the cameras, but they'll act like they're renting them for like $5,000 a camera. So they just, it's called the skim. So that's how the production companies make their money. It's all from the skim. And then they tell the artist, I mean it's never a black production company. It's always a black person that's down with a white production company, right? And what they'll do is tell the artist, are we paying you short bread? Go get your money in the strip club. You want to see what I'm saying? Like it paid to be like hosting and shit like that. And that's the game. So I'm too aware of the game. Like I look at it as a boss. I want to know how you make the money. See, that's what y'all got to start asking. Stop worrying about how y'all make, y'all should know how y'all make the money. They're giving it to you. Ask them how much money they make. I don't give a fuck what you're giving me. How much do you make off me? That's it. Nobody never asked that. In the street we do. We ask each other that. We don't trust each other. Soon they give, and another thing. When you get on social media or YouTube or you sign, you actually sign a contract. You got kids sign a contract without a lawyer looking at it. Y'all giving away all your rights. Nobody even looking. Why? This seems logical though. But nobody looking. Just because they say it's so, that means they robbing us. The less we know, the more they rob us. The more we know, the less they rob us. That's why they got to talk to me nice. I'd be frustrated when somebody's trying to sell me fake shit so confidently. You know, I'd be like, bro, I'm not dumb. It's frustrating. So that's why I smoke weed. And that's why I'm fucking. I'm gonna do it myself. And then you put niggas on and they go jump on their side and they start selling out. I can't be doing all that shit. So that's why I'm only gonna do, this network is my family's network. I work for my family. All the companies. They're my family's. That's not mine. I work for my family. I'm at work right now for my family. And on my network, I have therapy. I have children's programming. I got books out right now. My girl, she's wrote a book called the Desco Goes in Space about my son. She already sold 60,000 books. 10,000 is the best seller. That's it. And you know how we go into the board of education and they let us teach the kids how to dream. See, I'm down with something called the OSG. It's hundreds of principles from economically challenged places. And when I say economically challenged, I usually mean black, but they always know what we mean when we say black. They know our verbiage. They know how to block what we're gonna say already. We're saying the same shit. So we gotta change the verbiage. You know, economically challenged. And what they do is they talk about the things they can do off school grounds. Dr. Dennis McKeezy curated all the coolest principles. So if there's public officials that are black or from our culture and principles, they're gonna let us teach. So we have to teach. We have to give curriculum. All we do is we let them give us curriculum. Why would we let them teach us how to be slaves and not know it? So you know how you keep a slave a slave? You don't let them know he's a slave. That's the digital world right now. That's what they're doing. So I'm telling everybody, whether you fuck with me or not, I still want you to tell them to talk to you a different way. How much do you make off my shit? How am I signing something that I'm not giving it to a lawyer? When do we do that? All right, so you can make everyday miracles happen. We not plan whether it's same day delivery of gifts, groceries or those last minute party essentials. Dr. Dennis has you covered with thousands of groceries and retail stores available nationwide.

I'm going to play a coach, period. And it's cooler that way. It's way cooler to be the artist than the administrator. I'd rather be the artist. And I'm admitting that right now. I would rather be the artist. I hate business. People do anything. I'm going to still be the money. If you're going to be the artist, you've got to own the business. So you're going to get exploited. Every time you heard me spazz out, it was never on an artist. You ever see me spazz out on an artist? I might tease. We might snap. But I always spazz out on an administrator. Because I'm yelling at a robbing artist. That's why I was yelling at him. And y'all acting like I'm bugging. I'm yelling at them because they bullying y'all. Somebody got to do it. Somebody got to do it. I enjoy it. I'd be like, let me call me. I like it. I love it. Ask Nori. Ask anybody. I'd be like, yo, I'll do it for free. Let me know. I'll fix your shit. I'll tell you exactly how to talk to them. And exactly what they should say. I'll tell you. Blame it on me. I don't give a fuck about them. We don't need them. Who cares? That's what I mean. I'll be like, he's fearless. Fearless of what? Nerds? I don't give a fuck. They all fucking group up. They all do this all corny shit. He didn't even want to run it all out of his shit. Bitch ass niggas. Period. I just didn't realize that people would really like that, that they could click up and be like, we got to get them out of here and we're going to cheat and all this 48 Laws of Power. Everybody reached 48 Laws of Power. I read that shit just to know it. Everybody does it. When you walk into somebody's office and they have 48 Laws of Power, I already know what they're going to do. I already read the book. Not to do it. They never cheaters to me. But I know what you think and I know fuck we're reputable. You could do all that. I'm over here doing what I'm doing. They have not stopped me once. Look at all the loose shit I got. All on my own. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. I'm from the south, bro. We pay attention. But we mind not being that. You dig what I'm saying? And just to hear you speak on that bullshit it explains the video of when you walked in Dev Jam and you popped your shit. You dig what I'm saying? What time? The meeting? The time where the white t-shirt time. I always got a white t-shirt. Nah, this was the time when you walked out like you was in the office for a long time. Yeah, you was walking through. I want to know what's fucked up about that situation when I was really tight. Because my man Bobby Burke I just died. Bob-a-law. I was the first friend that I left. First brother from the best out. Biggest brother. And we was at a wake. That's when I was like, you know? In a time like that that's when they really start trying to get at you. And I was like, you're going to try this shit. And I had heard about it. And that's why I had taped the meeting. I hadn't already knew they were doing it. But I was like, these niggas are really going to do this when my heart is broken? When my whole crew's heart is broken? And then what was really fucked up is later in life I found out that Jay had set that meeting up. So that really fucked me up later. So I had to get some therapy for that one. So we all know it's deep in the rap and we know that the... But that's called torturous interference. And I supposed to do that. So I could have sued them but the street shit in me I just don't like going to court. But two motherfuckers is funny. But in hindsight it was like, you gotta remember like I was like 30. 30. In that meeting I retired at 35. You understand what I mean? I was 52. I've been retired for like 15, 20 years. I was done with Rockefeller at 35. I've been able to do whatever the fuck I want to do for the last 20 years. And I have to do nothing they telling me to do. I ain't got to go to no red carpet. I ain't got to smell nobody bad breath. None of that shit. None of that shit. And then Instagram I'm like, oh I ain't never got to go out. I'm outside right now because first of all I got new companies. It's time. I was explaining to people it's like to Godfather. For the last like 10 years my crew has been like, why you keep letting them do this? And I'd be like, don't worry about it. I didn't want that old block. And now five years later to Godfather hit all five families in one day. So fashion is one family. That's the CEO and all that. The music, I just played a Maya project and again we don't know it's a movie but it's a whole problem. There's a new music, a freeway project that's coming out this week and then I just played the white Fuji's Nicolette and Lee. You feel what I'm saying? I'm not there for music just so y'all know I can. Now, I'm active now. I don't want to talk about the old days. I'm active what you're doing now. Hit me. I challenge anyone that was doing it with me. Give me a new record right now. Here's my new record. Let's talk about that. Let's see what we have now. It's easy to be cool when you're young. Let me see what you're looking like. A rock star looks like at 50. I'm not performing old shit. We're performing new shit. And then the television network business. I don't see nobody with one. So now I'm ahead of the game. Nobody got one. No disrespect. But this one, like that where we get the full CPM but the digital world is the world. That's the new world. If you're not prepared for what you're stupid linear is out the window. Cable is gone. So why hustle for that? Hustle for the future. If it doesn't sustain, we just went through a pandemic. So we also broadcast live. So if it's a pandemic, we could be doing shows. And y'all got a whole building. And nothing is I'm proud of y'all. I don't want to say that. Chad, you pull up and he talked to me for hours before I picked my brain. And listen. I've never had a studio this organized and this well done. So y'all independent and go to what label got a better build? Y'all got a building. Y'all ain't got an office on your own. Right? You got to celebrate that. They just don't do that. Y'all got studios. This is exactly what it's supposed to look like. Yeah, we heard you when you said that. Exactly. So I'm coming. I'm proud of y'all. Appreciate it. That's a dang dang moment right now. Yeah. But you feel like you're doing some shit right. I want y'all to make movies though. It's too easy. Just get a GP with Chad GBT. You got seven fucking cameras. You only need three. All you gotta do is get an adapter. Throw some better lenses on it. Good. Y'all got lights. Y'all got sets. Y'all got talent. Y'all got five pages. You feel me? Y'all got a switcher. I never saw a seven switcher like I'm bugging. Y'all got everything they got. If you go into a network studio, they don't have updated cameras. They shit is old. Y'all been on ABC or the morning. You see the camera a little bigger, clunky all this shit? All this shit brand new. That shit got numbers and all that. I'm impressed. I got to step my shit up. I think a dang dance. He got to step his shit up. We buy seven more cameras. Y'all over qualified for what you're doing. Y'all got too many guns to fight battles. Y'all ready for war. That was always my problem. I would go to war without no guns. So I said, hold on, let me get my guns. I had mad beefs. I'm like, damn. It was wild. I didn't think they would hang out like that. You know what they do? I think I brought them together. He's taking all our girls. He's getting all the money. He's telling them we can't rob them. We got to get them out of here. I'm still here. Right. Crispy. Everything new. New game. The same people that rob Jaws and music are the same people that are robbing all in digital. I told you what Leo did in music. He invented the 360 deal. He did that because of me. It's because with Rockware once I was like, damn, you got to think about it, right? It was universal and depth jam got 50% to me, Jay and Biggs had to bust down three. And then Jay was double dipping getting crazy money as an artist. Because I just didn't give a fuck. We were friends. I didn't care. And then after that, there's no money. So I'm like... And then I realized that with Rockefeller if I make Rockefeller clothing then I would have to bust it down with depth jam. So I made Rockware. So I started to use... I just looked at Rockefeller as marketing. So if you notice I was just putting all the clothes all that was a commercial for me. I was like, fuck that. Move my office to Rockware if this shit y'all pay for, you ain't getting a dollar. People are like, hey, you got me on that one. Todd Moskowitz did the deal. He was a lawyer. Todd Moskowitz became a fucking record mogul for fucking black people. He's a lawyer because he's just up under the yours. You know what I mean? Like Julie Greenwald? How the fuck does she run anything in music? It's just hilarious to me over Sherry. That's crazy to me. I know them. They can't dance. They can't even bob their head. I'd be in meetings and they'd be like, can y'all bob your head or anything? They'd be like, can't hold a beat. How do these people run? How do y'all flicking up to these people? Whoever's in the office with them right now that's black, you should be ashamed. And I want you to laugh at her when you see her. When she walks through the office instead of being like, Julie, Julie, she's black. That's why they be clicking up. And they're like, damn, I thought I was done. How did y'all let them become your bosses? How did that happen? I'm back and I'm looking around and I'm like, these are the bosses now? How did this happen? No wonder. And what I know is that these bosses are going to take everything you don't know about so I'm just going to educate you about it. So just ask them how much they make money off the CPMs, the digital and ask about your data. And if they fuck with you, come over to American News because we about to just kill it because they're not ready. No label got a network and can make clothes and can make books and can make music and can make glasses and can make sneakers. It's all independent. So I basically funded 10 fucking companies independently and I'm broke. That's what I call a proud broke. I ain't got no money to loan nobody. We only got money for bills. That's a broke. I like that shit. I ain't got no money. I ain't got no money to loan nobody. We only got money for bills. Is that true? That's the truth. I ain't got no money because I can't give you no money. I fucking buying cameras. We only got bills. We only got bills money. If you got money, that means you a sucker. You should be investing it all. I don't hold no paper. If you got paper to hold, you broke. Damn. They even say that. I bet it all every time. I don't hold no money, they gonna take it. I'm not holding no money. Look at it. I'm broke. Man, you fucking the game up. But this niggas in the street, niggas will get money and be like, I'm fucked up, niggas will say that proud. I don't know why they stopped that shit. You think I can't change my net worth? I should be saying negative 2 million. I put that there. You don't think I can get that taken? I put it there. Leave me the fuck alone. I'm broke. Fucked up. I just got mad companies. I'm broke like that. I ain't got no money for you. You know what I'm saying? Because niggas will take it all and not give none of it back. The thing about... I don't even know. I don't count money. It's more the love I gave away that got violated. Fuck your shit. That's the shit that pisses me off. That violation. My currency isn't money. I don't give a fuck about money. All I care about is love. That's my currency God made that. You know? And... What I try to do is teach people about dreaming. Because your brain is powerful. You can only use 8% of your brain. It don't mean the other 98 don't work. Only 8% of your brain is all we have the ability to use. So I noticed some magical shit. So what I visualized has happened for me. It actually works. But what happens when you're around negative people is they'll put a negative in your visual and they'll stop you from doing it or that sort of realizing stuff. So number one you got to keep negative people away. And also you can't hang out with people that aren't dreaming. So if someone doesn't have a dream, what could your conversation be with them other than something that has nothing to do with your dream? They're wasting your fucking time. I don't want to have a bubblegum fucking conversation. It's the money to get. There's no time to talk about anything but that. If you ain't got no dream to talk about and that's clicking up, you're wasting my time. Literally. So you got to keep people without a dream until they can get one. All they're going to do is resent you for having one. Because people without a dream don't have a purpose. People that don't have a purpose are miserable. I don't know what life could look like without something to wake up and fight for. That's why niggas be depressed. They just get up and just they're complacent. That's why you got to dream big. Dreams don't cost no money. So why would you dream? Oh, I dream for a job. Some people dream like, I just want to pay my bills. That's not a fucking dream to survive. The dream is to have an island, a yacht, a plane, and be able to make sure your grandkids, kids never have to work. They could all be dumb. Third generation kids be dumb most of the time. We'll try to map, make sure they don't. Well, that's what happens usually. First generation makes you second, maintains it, and then third fucks it up. There are people that have third generation of wealth. So I understand generation of wealth and what that looks like. Can you visualize a child that you haven't even conceived yet? This is your kid's kid. Still fucking not ever having to work because of something you did. That happens. But you got to own your IP. You can't give nothing away if you don't own nothing. It's just logic. You know what I'm saying? Yes, sir. I appreciate it. I've been through what you've been through, but not as crazy. But the way you reacted, I was like, he's a stone cold killer. I was ill. You put it into being creative and work. That's just what I did. And that's the shit you never expect. And God never gives you anything unless God thinks you can handle it. So he must think you were ill-niggered and you stepping up. I went through it, bro. I promise you. I remember that shit sucks. And you got the children and you're coming home. I'm hearing you. I'm going to give you another pair. You know what I mean? You know what happens? So I have a child now with my girl. And we lost the baby at 7 months. Thank you. But then we had a baby a year after. But our thing was what you don't want is people feeling sorry for you. So what we did is we did therapy publicly so no one could ask us no questions. And then we went rockin' cop the car, S63, and then we went to Hawaii. And we, Nicolette went with us. And we had a lot of fun. We healed. But we were having so much fun that people forgot that we were in pain. When they see you enjoying yourself, they forget that you went through some. You know what I mean? When I see you on Instagram and shit, I'll be forgetting that you went through some. He's an ill nigga quick. But if you could sustain that, you could do anything, bro. You could do anything. And I could see, I could, it's ill. So again, you never get over it. Don't even try it. You just learn to live with it. It just makes you a general. You're not a general unless you fought a war. And you're fighting a war publicly that you don't have to respect you because you're doing something that a lot of people don't have the heart to do. That's the thing that I did. When that shit happened, I was outside the next day. But like I said, that's when they really tried to get at me. I went to three therapists that day to make sure I was straight the next day. I cried in front of everybody. I couldn't stop. You know what I mean? And, you know, like she still talks to me when I hear the music. So every time, like, you know, when I hear the music, I know there's a sign. So you pay attention to the signs because they still communicate with you. I was reading this book called The Seat of the Souls. That's how I connected with Elia because we both were reading this book in Kadada, and it was about the evolution of your soul. And then I had all these other books around because I got into it and then she passed a transition and I never read those books no more because it was like I was being prepared to still be able to connect well. I had like a roadmap of things to look for, the signs. So I kind of could recognize them. It's funny because she talks to Rocky a lot through butterflies. One time I was kicking it. Me and Rocky was kicking it with this girl. She was like, did you hear the New York Kelly record? Rocky was like, don't fuck with our Kelly. And lightning struck. And then one of those like truth, like psychics kind of, they referenced it. She was talking to you through some lightning one time. We were like, oh shit. We all got goosebumps and shit. Biggie be talking to me, you communicate with me too. This is another conversation. But either way, that's that next level shit. And that's why I try to prepare myself in every dimension. So all that shit that's happening with the space, he was telling me, I know too much, five years ago. And he said in five years they're going to start telling us all this shit. So no one's talking about the future of space travel. We're going to need some fucking astronauts. They're building hotels out there. Are they teaching space travel in school? No. Are they teaching code? Are they teaching CPMs? If they're not teaching those things, you're not preparing a person. The thing is, what people understand about me, my message is harsh. But what I learned through kicking it with the OSG was that if you give a kid love and hug them and make them feel good but don't teach them, they're going to jail. It's enabling. So you can't just be like I'm going to talk to you nice and they feel good but they don't learn. My message is like you'll wake the fuck up. It's almost like if somebody's in front of a train and you're like yo, there's a train coming. And they're like what? I'm not going. I'm like yo, there's a train coming. Like you don't hear it, pull. Yo, get the fuck off the thing. You know at that point you got to be a different way to save a motherfuckers life. And then that person's like why do you have to yell at me? And they got to save your life. No matter how I saved your life. What type of shit is that? But people be on some old bitchy shit. It's what stops people from even actually doing anything. They always act scared. So just don't be scared of nothing. Just be conscious. But no fear. Don't worry about nothing. Never worry. It's always... Every month is never worry for me. Yeah, you said some real shit. People was never worried. My favorite month, my oldest is never worried. He gave us two. The one where he said I don't know how to feel to wake up and not have nothing to fight for. Nigga, you fucking... That's why when you said it, Nigga, I know it's a battlefield. Like I wake up, put my boot, like I live by that. I stand on that. That's why I... I stand on that. And I know it's a war. And I know I got to put my shoes on. You know what you're doing? Can't nobody that's in front of you ever go through that and not stand up like you lead them by example. That's bullshit. You can't send somebody to do something that you wouldn't do yourself. So that's why when I go through it, as a general, I got to stand up because I can't have niggas folding if these things happen. I'm like, yo, you got to do it like I did it. You feel me? So that's why being a general is like, you got to be able... you got to be able to fight everybody in the room. Who did that three? You got to us. You know, people, especially with men, they alpha. Everybody wants the top slot. You got to earn that top slot and fight everyone around you for it. I'll be watching this shit on TikTok and they be showing the hyenas. The animal planner for real ain't it? They eat... The hyena eats the queen's head to take over. And they eat their cannibals. The closest people to them always want they slot. And then they eat their head. Pause. Shit is crazy. It can be Bob Turner. I teach you how to... Well, if you look at animals, they're honest. Right. So the one thing that an animal doesn't have, I don't think it's consciousness of death. So they have no fear. Because when they be getting eaten and shit, they still be looking calm. They don't know they're about to die. They don't know how to register pain and shit. Like my dogs and shit, like... But I look at them and they're... I didn't even bring... Gov is getting old. When Astro, every fucking day, my dogs... And, you know, their way of doing shit is weird. But, you know... Yeah, you just got to look at the way our honest animals act. Mm-hmm. As long as my fuckers eat meat, they still savages. Pause. Yep. I expected that. Are you a vegan? I'm slowly getting into it. Think about that. Number one, how are you going to trust your oppressor with food? Like, I got homeboys that did everything in the street when the jail came home and a cheeseburger killed them. You know, meat is the number one cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. The number one cause. So why would you still eat it? It's all GMOs and there's so much doodle all over it. So you got to think about it, right? You ever bust a shrimp? And you see the doodle? When they take a body, a chicken, they just put it in a blender. But the doodle's still in them. Think about how much shit is in a cow. And fish. People think they eat fish caught out of the sea. That shit is all farmed. And they just sit in a toilet bowl shitting. And that's it, it's in the fucking... There's a tolerance for rat hair. Cause then they got to move the meat paws around to like warehouses and shit. So you have a tolerance for rat hair, a tolerance for doodle, and a tolerance... Like I said, you got this much doodle on it, this much pus, and this much rat hair. Now if a rat or doodle was on any plate even next to it, maybe even in the same room, I'm not eating that shit. So just cause I know about the doodle on that shit, I'm not doing it. Damn. You know what, that'd be some good-ass doodle. There you go. That's why I said, I'm slowly going to get out that doodle and get out of that bowl. You're programmed, but these things that taste paws better than doodles that you just don't know about. So that means go explore, look for it. If I know something, if this block ain't right to live on, I'm looking for another block to live on. I'm scared when it comes to food, I don't know what to eat. I'd be like, what I'm going to eat. But just go to TikTok. TikTok to everything. Everything, that's the new search engine. That shit will give you a recipe. To eat is no excuses now. That's what we don't have right now is excuses. All we need to do is know. You just have to know. Just think about the future. Fuck the past. What are we going to be doing in 10 years? And then hustle for that. Don't hustle for it now. You're surviving now. Hustle for the future. That's what I always do. So that's why everything I say, I'd be like, this thing is bugging. But when I do it, they'd be like, oh genius. But every time I say something, people still say I'm bugging. But this generation is better. It's on the ground. Sometimes we come up with some new shit. To somebody that's bugging, you bugging. You got to be bugging a little bit. To somebody that's not so smart, they're not going to thank you so smart. They're going to look at you like you're always tripping. You kind of have to be smart to recognize the smart in somebody. Somebody dumb doesn't recognize the smart. They recognize the dumb. So somebody that doesn't listen to you is dumb. No, you're dumb. That's just a reflection. What I find sometimes is the things that I find in people I don't like, are the things I don't like about myself unconsciously. So whenever I'm giving any critique, I always go back and make sure I'm not unconsciously doing the shit that's bothering me, that that person is doing it. It's like every time I'm talking, it's like I'm really just reassuring it to myself. You know what I'm saying? Some motherfuckers are hard to like. I'm not. I'm hard to like to people that I'm beating up. Like I said, I'm a superhero. I'm that man. So the joke is always going to be mad. You feel me? Like when you're a superhero, at any win somebody got to lose. So it's not... Worrying about being like is like the worst dumbest shit in the world. No matter what, people are going to have opinions. Why would you care? Like why would you care what someone thinks about you other than the people that you care about? You understand? And negative gets attention. It's an algorithm. So people, it's a profitable thing. So I never get offended by people that like when they post fucked up shit about me and shit, I'd be like, oh, they're keeping me alive. I love it. And then it makes them give me a reason to talk. Keep doing it. I think it's funny. If you're like in the public eye and you care what people think, that's an oxymoron. Actually, that's a moron. That was crazy. Might be your oxymoron, but you're a moron. Yeah, like there was a million people out there. You matter if a hundred thousand don't like you, but they all spend their money. Worried about the wrong shit. People like popularity though. People are insecure. They get paid in dopamine. That's why they robbing you on all those platforms. They pay you in fame and not money. That's just all that is a distraction, bro. You got to look for the distractions. Like again, we're people that are confident in our physical brawn. So we don't hide. People that can't fight are real sneaky. Look at your toes. They can't fight are real sneaky. I be trying to tear nigga that. The only one that's not going to physically come up on your homies. They don't even want the credit for it. Right, right, right. The ones that piss in your food. And then just look at you eat. Paws and you're like, oh, trust me. Nerds do that type shit all day. And I'm not talking about like a book reader. That's not a nerd. It's just a person that doesn't play fair. Someone that's just not, you know, a boy that's not man enough to just confront things and be honest and won't give nobody a fair one. If you won't give me a fair one, you a sucker. If you got to go get your friends, you a sucker. If you got to go conspire and have a meeting about me, you should look in the mirror and call yourself a sucker. And don't be mad at me for calling you a sucker. Be mad at yourself. Or watch America New and I'll teach you how to dream and all the hate. Because what happens when people are dreaming, they don't hate. They're worried about their own dreams and they celebrate others that are dreaming. People that hate are people that don't have a dream. Who the fuck has time to hate when you want to be manifesting some fucking yachts and shit? I ain't got no time to be putting a visual of someone I don't like in my brain. To me, that's wild homo. Paws, you know, like, you know, that's... You know? No cancel. I have no cancel. But, you know... That's the new shit. No cancel. No cancel. No cancel. I'm old. I'm 52. You know what I mean? You can't expect anything to change. It doesn't mean the same. It's also got to be cognizant of people's mentalities as you get older. If you have an old mentality and it worked in the 90s, that shit ain't going to work right now. So you got to be like aware, it's like going into another country and you got to know the laws. You know? You'll get locked up for some shit. Like everywhere I go, I always go like, is weed legal here? Because to me, weed's legal. So I'll walk around and shit like that and they'll be like, ooh, that's a felony. Oh, shit. Like I've done... Boy house is not knowing that and being with people and they'll be like, yo, you know, it should not be on the ground, but it's not legal. I'm like, I just closed on a crib. I can't smoke. If I wouldn't have done that, if I wouldn't know. You know what the future looks like and the little things that mean things to you? In the future you have to make sure those things are taken care of and you have to start planning for them now. So also I'm part of something called the commission and that's Senator, and today he's probably going to be, he is the mayor of Gary and Congressman Andre Carson and Bishop Pinnell and Dr. Pinnell and this therapy. So there's Tajé and there's Melody and there's Do-It-All who's the first, you see Councilman first elected official that went platinum and we also keep each other well versed in law and education and then the OSG with Dennis McKee law, education, therapy prison reform, health so I always try to surround myself with people that are the best at what they do. Like isn't it advantageous to know you know literally like I've talked to the senator about diabetes, I'm diabetic and how high the price of insulin is and he drafted up a law and got it changed. So we don't know, we think we can't change things because we don't know how to pass laws because we're not taught that. But we can change things. We got to think most laws were made by people 150 years ago. Those people had slaves. So anybody that made a law that had slaves didn't make a law that behooved by slaves. And we still abide by those laws to this day. So the only way to change curriculum is for us to make new curriculum. The only way to change things we don't like it has to, only way is legal if it's a law. It don't matter how you feel about it. You see what Trump's going through, it don't matter. It's law. I'm looking at him. I'm like, see I went through four fucking lawsuits last year all bullshit. But I know what it is in that courtroom. The judge is the king, that's God and you can't do that with a judge. No matter how much money you got or you're the president, the judge is the president in the courtroom. So once you're in there, you surrender everything. You got to go online. That's why I hate going to court. Because it's like a lawsuit. Yeah, that's why I don't love airports so much either. Anywhere I got to stand in line or like people are telling me what to do and they start feeling empowered because they could tell me what to do that's a bit of a trigger for me. For me too, I can't stand it. I hate it. So if people be saying shit, they'd be like, come on man, but you would never talk to me in your life like that. So because you're like an attendant, you know what I'm saying? You're saying shit and you're enjoying it too much and you're pissing me off. You gotta let people live and make a little work. Nah, I know you don't. I do like to live. I put the air phones on. I take some mushrooms. Once I see the respect going, it's like hey man, I'm gonna fuck with you. I'll be outside. Please, I just don't want to travel. This is what happens. I'm gonna tell you what happens. Please, please, okay. To gain your dream, you have to evolve. You have to change as a person. So what happens is right before your dreams about this come true, there's always a test. Some dumb shit always happens to see how you're gonna react to it. Gotta walk away. So if there's like some disrespect, you'd be like, but let me think it through. Because if you do, then you're not ready to go forward sometimes. I'm sure I've failed that test a lot of times. So I've been trying to figure out how to walk away. Because when you fight, even when you win, you hurt yourself. Like all my knuckles been broken and I haven't lost many fights. But every time I fight, I hurt myself. I gotta heal. Just cause I knocked that nigga out, I broke my fucking knuckle. Now I gotta heal. I'm so, I rip something up. Every time, fighting is traumatizing. Like, you know, if you got to, you gotta be prepared. But if you go walk away and you're not in the street, the street makes you deal with things different. Because you have to come outside and protect a piece of concrete so you don't own and sell things that are illegal. So now you have to regulate words. But when you're not in the street, you don't have to regulate words. And when you have a lot to lose, so it's a hard test for people. Cause you have PTSD. It's hard for that shit not to kick in. It happens all the time. You know, you'll be like, now you got it. You know what I'm saying? I don't feel like sitting in the jail cell the other day. Like, you know what happened with Freeway, right? He flew in. We all flew in. We were all coming from, we were all busy. We all flew in and met at the airport to go to the, cause where we are is like an hour away. So we could just ride together. So I was getting Freeway from the airport. And something happened. We got the shit on tape. But something happened where the luggage wasn't coming out and some white people was flipping on the people that worked there. Wilding. And I'm like, damn, it's not even they fault. So I'm like, just waiting this shit. And then the police came and they went directly cause the girl was flipping so much they called the police, but they blamed it on the black girl and us. And I went, when it happened, I knew they were, I said, I bet they're going to blame this shit on us. So they came right at me. They came at El Boogie and I went to break it up and the cop was like racist, like back to like old deed on me, right? And then I said, yeah, you got it. And then we worked it out. The girl was like, it wasn't her. And I was like, yo, your man was wrong. But either way, Freeway was like, yo, old dame would have never had that. Different. And what I know is that was a test. I knew it. I'm like, damn, we're about to make the best music, but this shit could have had me locked up. And all that music would have wouldn't have happened. Just because I'm mad. I'm gonna sit in a hot ass jail in Florida. So I had to pass that test. But I recognized it. I was like, that was a test. I looked for the test, the dumb shit. Walk away from the dumb shit. It's the shit that never happens is random. Like, you know, I remember, you know, I don't know if you know about DD172, but I just put out this currency record and it was going crazy. And I was telling everybody about the test. And the time I lived in Tribeca, Steve Stout lived up to block. So we turned the corner. I never told this story, so this should go by with free. So we turned the corner and, um, uh, Steve Stout and this girl, like his boy had a chick with muscles. Uh, Mackenzie, his white chick, and Raquel. But Mackenzie, like, Mackenzie could fight his white chick. You would never know. I didn't even know. So anyway, so I'm walking up to him because I'm like, because he's the one that was putting all that shit in the paper and doing all this disrespectful shit. So I'm about to wash him right now. I can't believe God gave me this gift. So I'm walking up to block to him, right? And Mackenzie goes, the test, dame the test. I'm like, ah. So I'm walking past him, like, you bitch-ass nigga. And he goes, yo, I thought we took care of you. Right? And I said, man, you were snitch because he told him I'm puffed, right? So I'm like, you snitch-ass nigga, and I told this girl, you know you're walking with a snitch? Every time I would see Steve Stout, if he was public, I'd call him a snitch. Like, he's a snitch. Red carpet. I didn't like that. I never liked that he told him I'm puffed. I didn't like that shit. I ain't got nothing to do with it, but I just, I ain't like it. You know what I mean? So get out of here. So anyway, word. So as me and him, I got into him before, you know, I smacked him before, right? So we talked about that, but regardless, so now I see him, and he like, we took care of you anyway, and I start talking about how he's a rat. So he kind of stepped in me, but the white girl starts decking him. Boop! Boop! She is with like three right, oh, like, right hooks, like it was like crazy. So he's all disheveled this shit. And then the girl grab the girl was like, um, she was like, you better get your man, bitch, right? So I'm like, you know, bugging, right? Like, chill out. And then Rocky runs up to Steve and he pushes her on the floor, and the police was around the corner, and I was always like, yo, it's like a toll on and also he was the dude that got the lawyer for when Jay stabbed. So Steve got the lawyer for and be hanging out with Jay. I'm like, this shit don't make no sense. You know what I mean? So I always thought the way about it. But so I'm like, yo, he just pushed the girl on the floor. So I'm like, oh, you going to jail? So I'm laughing and shit. He looking all stupid and his girl and then the police came, he tried to run. I'm like, nah, we know where you live, but I was laughing so much the police and shit. Word. I was like, y'all not going to lock that thing up? I wasn't telling him, I was, they was saying is the girl, he just pushed me. So I'm like, I ain't even going to say nothing. I'm just laughing. I'm like, you getting locked up. And he had to give us 10,000 for that because he pushed Rocky. He asked him about it. So he had to, he had to give Rocky 10,000. So with that 10,000, we bought a dog and computers. We bought the dog dust cover. So thanks, Steve. Because I was going to sue him. I was like, nah, I got a lawyer. Because he had did it to us. I was like, so you're going to pay her and plus he had pushed Rocky. So I was like, that's my girl, Rocky. Okay, okay. But at the time she wasn't, but now she is, but it was like, you can't just be pushing girls with me and shit. So he had to send something over. He doesn't tell that story. Sending the wire information. No. That should happen. Thanks. I wish I had that on tape. I remember what I had on. I had the Jets had on. But it was a currency Jets had. I had some show tour adidas and some satin adidas pants. I had the white with the V. I had the gazelles on. I was like, I'm about to showcase. You feel me? But his shit was funny. So yeah, I don't know why I never told us that. That dumb shit just be popping up at random. I got a shit I didn't tape but sometimes I don't remember. I try to tape everything. You know, I smoke. But a lot of funny shit be happening through the years. It's been decades of this shit. Why were you like that though? Just tape it. Because I knew it. It doesn't make sense not to. If you're confident, you know, like right now I know we making history, right? I'm going to make history. I wake up and know that everything I'm going to do is make it before this historic as well. But definitely right now because of CPM is the more content you have. Like when I was walking around with a camera, everybody was saying I was extra. I was extra dame because I had cameras all the time. But I got everything taped. Everything. Every fucking thing that happened that Rockefeller from before. I got the big VHS tapes. I got everything taped. Everything. You don't go. I'm not watching this shit. Nah, I don't be watching this shit. I'm not trying. I just don't have time. I should watch it. I'm bugging. Again, I'm not really so worried about my past so much that if like I was fucked up, then I'd be like, yo, let's me got a bug. But again, what I did I would put it on another platform. Now that I got my own platform, paid in full. All that shit. Tell them I'm fucked up. You know, I haven't made those Desperado moves yet. But I always have that if I got to. You know what I mean? I ain't got nothing. Congratulations. Congratulations. I got shit. You don't even know what I got in the curtain. I can show you all. That's nothing. That's nothing. I have everything. Everything you said made sense. It's just like how a motherfucker gonna sit here and be like, okay, they might not agree with your presentation. But if the CEO I'm round with my CEO, man. I'm just round with my CEO, man. He ain't saying nothing wrong even though you probably don't like it. But like you said, somebody got to go in there and say this shit. There's a couple of names I said that aren't gonna like it. But you know this when they do interviews now, they don't even, they, they see what Leo does at the interview. Because now that I started talking about the CPMs, they got to clean that shit up. Now they're trying to talk CPMs. And that's cool. I want them to change their language. Yeah, I know that you're having meetings about me. So you can tell that when he does his interviews, don't bring up Damon Dash. And I don't know why nobody asked him no questions about me. He told him not to. Here's the thing. There's always rap beef pause and they glorify that. I have CEO beef pause. I'm not talking with no rapper. I want to see, I want, I want Leo. I'm not going, he's not from my culture. So I'm not going to punish nobody from my culture except Steve South just because he conspired. You know, and now the funny shit is now he's fucking talking all that independent shit. And he's the main, he took my business model, raised money in his corporate still. You feel what I'm saying? And then he had to call me and say sorry. But now I'm mad again because unsaid that shit that they had meetings and shit. And I'm like, now I'm mad again. We ain't, I'm not fighting or nothing, but we going to tell the truth. Fuck it. Damn. It's natural niggas fuck my money up. Then when you say your money, money you invested, money you blessed with tears. Let's take it at another level. My family's money. But the thing about it is my kids, I always make sure my children was me and theirs. They never had this, ever not. So while I'm compromising, I always make sure they mothers like Rachel had a company with that's all another story. But they all had, you know, they all live and go to schools with everybody that got billions. So they ain't that, and that's all that matters. So to me, I'm like, long as y'all good, I could go hand. And I just love the bed at all. I don't know why. I can't hold a dollar. It's all them things. Rush, knowing that you know you're a hustler, you ain't worry about the dollar. You got love with a hustler. I was never an adult and not been a man there. I don't know what it is to be an adult and not be a man there, but I know it is not to be a man there. You feel what I'm saying? So I appreciate it more. But I made my money relatively quick again. I had a whole fucking person's career that they'd have in 30 years. I had it in like 15 years. I was done by the time I was 35. I was done. What made you say, man, I have fucked this shit? Look at it. Everybody breath stink. And for real. And it's just I'm not, it's not a real model. I'm not, it's nobody's a boss. Right. There ain't no real money. Like I sold the company. I didn't make, yo, we sold Rockefeller. I did, I had, that shit was going for that shit at the bank. I never, I never looked at that money from Rockefeller. I never, ever saw it. I never wasn't like I was always behind the eight ball cause I always dreamed big. So again, I always said like, yo, my bills are a hundred thousand a month. And I only made 90. I'm 10 short. I'm broke. But I still made 80 that month. But Niggas will still say you know, he was late. You know what I mean? So that's what my life's always been. But like my bills be like four 50 a month. So I might be down a hundred two months you down to a quarter you know, and then you got to regroup. But that's the game and publicly with no, with no, with, with, with no fun or no no credit, nothing, no credit tax problems. I'm like, yeah, you know, I'm, I'm you know, Drew was saying it earlier. He was like, yo, you setting up for the comeback of the fucking century. And first I lack, I'm like, it's literally a comeback. I'm like, I guess it is. I just looked at it like that. I just looked at it like I'm doing my own thing. Yeah. But yeah, I'm getting ready for the comeback of the century. The network come back, but I never had a network. So this will be some new shit. But definitely the clothing, the sneakers and the music and the books is not a comeback. I wasn't doing that before. And you know, curriculum. Let me write which one sneakers. We can make a sneaker. You can make one anytime you want. Yeah. We can design it real quick. I can show you. I don't want to go through them that way. You don't have to. Fuck it. Yeah, easy that wall. See, I told y'all I want to hold no more memes with you, bitch niggas. But you know the thing, that shit easy, blub. Yeah, but your bottom line will come with that. You got to push it and do the show. Yeah, I'm winning the one. I'm a general. I'm a soldier, too, though. I get it. I know. This shit is all independent work. Y'all got all got on your clothes. Like, hey, you know, y'all everybody working here. It's a good I'm impressed. You're going to make a lot of money. Because nobody has this. So y'all first. Or people have it, but they see what y'all have is you have talent. So you don't have to pay nobody. So that's why like, I, you know, I discovered Kevin Hart. I didn't have to pay Kevin Hart really for paper soldiers or for the death of a dynasty. So do you discover people then you don't have to pay so much to me after people blew up, it's corny to pay a lot of money to fuck with him. It's like, now you bottle service. The cool shit is to discover people and it's cheaper. You understand what I'm saying? So y'all be the king to audition. Y'all too can make movies in here all day. I don't know what just like tomorrow. Y'all can make one with these cameras and y'all got sound lights, location and talent and all these people. I'm going to show you how to do it. But just get a DP any DP just get a DP. We got three of them. Joe. Where you at, Joe? There you go. Joe, where's your bro? Joe said he's not a DP. He's a DP. He controls the mother fuckers there. That's not a DP. A DP is behind the camera. Director of photography. Yeah, but they're not there. No, but that's just his second job. Oh, but you're a DP. I didn't ask that. I said you're a DP. It's a trick question. He tells them all the shots. Can I ask a question? Are you a DP? You're not a DP, right? I don't care. I'm not judging you. If you do this. You are a fucking DP, nigga. Stop acting like we don't know what we're doing. Right. I mean, what's your favorite lens? I'm a cook lens. Cooks anamorphic. So you should direct. I do. Listen, I'm trying to say, listen to what I'm saying. For certain things like for... For... For American Nu, I'm not the CEO of that company. And the reason why is because I don't understand ad technology. So Prophecy is the CEO because he understands he built the technology. He runs the money. If you're going to get an operation, you want a real doctor. So... And there's not no disrespect because if you're doing all that, then you don't want to, you don't want to be the DP. That person has to focus. producer right that person will do all the administrative stuff and then you need an AD which is an assistant director that person will be the asshole on the set that'll tell everyone to shut the fuck up and he's the person that will give a shot list and all of that and keep you on a schedule you need a DP a DP usually need someone else to help him with the camera if you've got seven fucking cameras you definitely need at least two people to run them and then you need somebody on the lens mm-hmm right period and then you need somebody on sound and then you need a gaffer and lights so that they could move shit around and an electrician you also need a DIT someone that's gonna get all the footage mm-hmm right now if you have one person doing all that that's gonna be a pandemonium so that's where you know if you're gonna do that it's like six seven people you need you need catering you need hair and makeup and you need clothes you need some someone to do set design so someone has to be able to build the set and do that and this that the third and that's it and I like to have an editor on the set so I can start editing and see if shit and that's what that was easy right yeah well that's what you need but if you don't have those things then you're gonna be like why you we're gonna have a talk but we go have a fucking talk but the thing is you got to know that but it's not for him to know it's for you to know that he doesn't know so when you do a business that's why I have to direct because I got to know everything because I'm paying for it so I know craft service I know how much every potato chip course I know how long it takes to break down the set and break oh I avoid everything that was time because time is your enemy you know I was telling me I 12 hours to shoot and if you're doing it with the Union then anything after 12 is time and a half and they got to eat every fucking hour that's everybody always make sure they know when they got to eat so if you're taking the time to set some shit up that's hours breaking it down moving it and now you got to eat you just wasted like six hours that's why a lot of times you go to sets people just sitting around doing nothing my sets don't look like that I make it worse 15 minutes I gotta shoot 10 pages a day so now I know how to hire somebody and tell them how to do it and I'll be like that's impossible nigga I just did it it went in theaters Prince of Detroit which is coming out December 2nd right so I just made a movie I just made three albums I just made a television network I just made some sneakers some glasses some comic books and some books and I'm selling all of them and we still independent it can be done you just got to love it and you got to be good at what you do everything I do I don't do it for the money I do it for the art I like the process so if you're just doing it for the bread then you ain't gonna work out for you if you make movies then the process of making movies should intrigue you if it's not an art then you only doing it for the money like sometimes people help put me in the movie and I like do you act I wanna act do you look at movies you study the art do you like acting or do you just want to have girls and be famous and look cool that's two different things if you're a real actor you want to suffer you want to show some kind of poor they call it chops you want to show your range I just want them girls and look cool that's the type of movie you gonna be in there don't nobody never take that up yeah but like that come though well now the thing about it is if a person is comfortable and because also the most loud people you can ask Nicolette so when people come because sometimes people come in the studio that don't have any talents that he just talked to fucking much I just put a camera on them then they shut the fuck up they get shy in front of a camera you talk so good but you won't do it in front of people so I'd be like yo make some money if you want to talk so fucking much talk how you hold it yeah because I be working sometimes they discount because what I'm doing is fun that I don't have to focus like you don't come into the doctor's office while he's operating you dirty you unsteady you know I'm saying much boy so you know some people talk shit and getting from the camera and they get nervous they start talking like a weatherman you know so if you uncomfortable in front of a camera you just be yourself and you know I find that most of the actors that go to school for acting aren't that good you know I usually get people that just have a natural personality and I just be like just act like that so if you look at my movies I never have bad acting and they don't be actors both beanie and state property like the only thing that I ain't gonna say be tested nah yeah the person I was gonna say I can fight my man I didn't want to do that to you know we appreciate OG whatever so again whoever's watching go to your phone download America New America at NU I got it it's free and check out see if I'm walking like I'm talking at this doc series there's movies there's therapy there's children's programming there's music with blue rock you know everything I'm talking about you a be able to see and you know I think that we definitely have to do some I'm gonna show y'all to make a move what y'all do it y'all never go I know how y'all move so I promise you once y'all make movies y'all not even gonna go outside no more they're just gonna keep making movies it's the fun and shit in the world and y'all funny niggas but my girl loves when I'm making movies comedies because the set everyone's hitting each other like with Kevin with they used to Kevin's a fucked up dude because what he would do is if a comedian like Smokey was getting ready to get on in front of the camera he started heating them up so they don't feel so good in front of the camera right it was a thing they did and then like Charlie Murphy you know Charlie Murphy wrote paper soldiers I was able like those things now like in hindsight seeing how they like you know he passed and all the things he got like he became really like like he's like a legend but like not Eddie Eddie's a legend but his brother was like a legend and I got to like really be around like Biggie I can hang out I got that like hang out with all these people and I'm still cognizant of it to appreciate it and celebrate it like it bugs me out that I knew Biggie is that we used to yeah I could tell you a biggie story give us one damn it usually I save this for my network but I'll tell you now we all again I don't care I fuck with you I ain't gonna appreciate so biggie used to smoke and at the time I didn't smoke mm-hmm at all that's the shit we didn't do we didn't smoke it made me paranoid because we were doing your legal shit mm-hmm so and this was kind of when biggie was beefing with the West Coast so we were like I didn't really we weren't in that shit so we were like fuck that we'll fuck with you and we had we were trying to get him to come to the video this is for dead presidents mm-hmm and what we used to do I'd have meetings about like what are we gonna do that's gonna be the most big wooly shit we always want to do something that was crazy so like in my lifetime we went to St. Thomas and had the boats so we would go to the bbqs and I would just think about fly shit and we came up with let's play Monopoly with real money mm-hmm so it was like bring a hundred thousand and when he comes through and also our thing was Cristal no one knew about it so we always had the drinks so he came through we had like five things of Cristal and at the time I had felt the way because puff I felt was copying me you know so I was like they like they would see us in the club and then I would see them kind of like emulating our lifestyle because we was hustling and they wasn't but they started acting like hustlers and shit so I felt the way so I always had a little chip on my shoulder so when he came through I kind of was like fucking with him and like we got into a drinking contest and we drank like maybe 10 bot like a ridiculous amount where I didn't remember the next day what happened and I remember Biggie's like big I'm not I'm not as big as him and if you look at the video you'll see all the bottles and all that other shit and on the table and the next day I called Jay he was mad at me and Jay never like that's why I was always surprised about how we shut because we never had an argument right he was kind of mad and I was like what happened so I called Biggie's like yo you wasn't no good bro he was drunk got in his car he told him he was his favorite rapper like all this shit I was like so I was so sick right yeah I feel sick now I I was so sick that we went to daddy's house pause damn that's a big pause whoa I said pause right and we met and I was like yo fuck all that blah blah blah now we got to get money together and we ended up booking them because my strategy was to have Biggie Ope headline so Jay could perform in open form so I was like I fuck it I just book him so we would just book him so we could and we did in New Orleans and it was a brick but that's like a big story and then so every time I would see him after that we would have drinking competitions so you know I'm gonna save the other story for another show there was another drinking story that's funny too but that yeah but that was but that drinking story led to Jay open it up for Biggie yeah then like we became like we were like really cool like our crew and they're cool because they were funny like Biggie was a funny dude and I you know seas and DRock that whole crew those are my brothers to this day like when we see each other no matter what it's like yeah because we were just like silly but like gangster silly right and they they there's their crew was similar to ours and respect that we were funny like we like to snap right right they used to snap a lot Biggie was a funny motherfucker we had jokes he had jokes yeah I see when he's leaving back sometime you got me put my name like say my name I make them dash like dang uh-huh like we were that cool like he was saying like I'm like Biggie said my name in the right that's hard that's hard that's hard I know right I'm saying like I can basket it like I'm like word it's not a good moment it is but like him in particular like yeah like I cried yes I'm saying like the thing is I'm just sick of crying over people in this business you know it's like I remember talking to Dolph the day before he got killed and because he used to just come through for advice that's why I like Chad he just comes I like when people come through just for advice so you would be surprised at the people that I'd like given advice to and he just would come through for advice he'd be in the studio and shit never we never even he'll just come in just just for respect and he was on the phone and he was asking me how the best way to you know he just was stuck he wanted to get pause he wanted to get out of major label a level but he didn't want to you know he had all these deals on the table and I was explaining to him who to hire because I was like I could just tell you who to hire because they'll work it doesn't matter and he was like all right when I come back I'm gonna see you and he got killed the next day and it was like just was like crazy to me I'm still going through this shit I just even mentoring people there's a there's a like now it's like when before like it was like pot got killed and biggie got killed and then it was like ten years of peace and that's why I was like Wiz Khalifa and currency and you know you know all the everyone from like all over like Stiley that was with with DD 172 was it was like uncool to be beefing it was cool to just smoke and chill so that's why I did the DD 172 thing with the galleries and I started making records I got so many records with Wiz Khalifa and and most death and jail electronica but all those people were from different places so it was like the first time I saw harmony and then social media came and that was like the average it's like I wouldn't even want nobody that I love to be a rapper because it's so dangerous you know I mean it's like there's an algorithm there where people go to jail or get killed it's not like sometimes my daughter's want to go to to concerts certain festivals and I'd be like it don't be really more about the people in the crowd it'd be like everybody's beefing so crews run into each other you got to worry about crews and again that's a program they want us to fight each other for sport as a profession for an algorithm like it's so profitable and now it's like popular and it's always happened where they have these insurance policies on the artist so if they die they make more money so the more dangerous you are the more bigger contract they're gonna give you because if you die they make more money it's crazy like for any like major label and again no disrespect to drill it's the way the kids talk but it's dangerous so as an artist I mean as like an executive if I know someone's doing something that's gonna put them in jail and they're rapping about it I'm not selling that I'd be like yo you're gonna put yourself in jail and I'm not pushing that like if I know you really doing that and you I'm like I'm not what are you doing like the one thing I tell people when they come around me I'm like yo I'm hot if you are active don't even think like when we used to when we first started it would be times that our friends would like be on TV with us and we land in the feds we just take our friend or we go to a show like motherfuckers we make you hot we on TV so if you're doing criminal activity it would be best not to get in front of a camera or talk about it on the record because the police now I mean you can't do that so I would say it like you're active don't even do it you go into jail I'm hot they look like you know they're looking at me that's what they do like why wouldn't me they're not stupid it's logical so I don't understand it like how does an executive knowing that they're now making that person hot also knowing that it's gonna maybe make some kids think it's cool to do it we're usually the people signing it off from our culture see music is like drugs so certain kind of drugs they say keep it in their shit get let the niggas have the drill they're all animals anyway right let's make an algorithm we can make money like they make money off of our dysfunction every time we have like literally and I guess no one even talks about this but literally they paid cam to respond
