No, we'd like to take it back We want to know about you where you were raised how you're raised your parents. I mean your whole community Okay. Well, uh my mom and dad on my mom named Sheila my dad named Gregory That's why I give my name for my real name Gregory Um, I grew up a lot of places between the east and the southern one I even live downtown in sixth wall. So that's why I was born in my mom and bought me home. That was in Tremade So that's the most historical black area in America. Like it's like oh like um, like how orange mom might be in Memphis Um, that's why I lived there. Then we lived in the seven wall. That's where you know, um Tyra Matthews from Manifest me a ex linen for net to name a few people and then I really connect more to the east whatever on because I went to school a lot out There so New Orleans east is like it was a good area at one time They had bad spots too because you might have heard you when I say on like soldier rag I'm bundles of dope running from the Mac no you to the goose uh Niggas beefing like the checkerboard in the goose and um, that's a place where I stayed in a lot too and then um, you know I stayed there and stay in the east in the seven wall. So that's the place that kind of shaped me and um He said your mom and dad was together Yeah, my mom and dad was together and stuff like that Good cuz you know, it doesn't happen very often at all with mom that actually stayed together and helped raise you Yeah, a lot of times it'd be like split household or the dad leaves and gone do his own thing Right, right now my mom and dad been together since they were like 21 or 23 or whatever. That's a good example Yeah, definitely definitely so brothers and sisters. Yeah, I got um I got two brothers one of my brothers doing life and then goal is named Brandon I got a sister life. Yeah, and Angola. He got convicted in the same Paris to see murder and Jefferson Paris Um, which is on the other side of the river on other side of Mississippi River. Um, well He was convicted at in Gretna, but the stuff He been on 13 it'll be 13 summers coming up or whatever like and yeah, so he been on almost 13 years now so he got they got a law called on 10 to and it affected him and see murder a lot of other people where you only need 10 drawers to convict somebody instead of 12 and Louisa and Oregon was the only states that had that there was implemented after the Civil War and that was a way to silence the black Jewel on a vote. So, um, you know, a lot of times do it be out here where a lot of times when you go in a court You'll have like 11 white folks in one black. That's how they had it. That's how the idea stay And then this is a more conservative part of it's not New Orleans is outside So it's like I guess like I got Dallas and Fort Worth all it's it's outside of New Orleans It's not in all these Paris. Um is in Jefferson Paris. Like I said, it's more conservative. This is the same place when Yeah, what what happened was they did change it and after 2018 all the voters voted to in it So they can't do it no more and um, but since um that happened They made it. Uh, it's not retroactive yet So people like my brother see murdering like 1500 other people Still can't get a fed day in court because of that law and some people didn't die trying to get a fed day in court or Other but people that was on direct appeal. They was able to um get a at least buying out But if you exhausted all your appeals, you just can't do nothing And the supreme court said the supreme court said it was unconstitutional But um, they didn't they're not trying to offer no remedies They said Louisiana got to try to figure it out on their own So we praying that the da's and the legislators uh, Louisiana supreme court change it and do what they predecessors couldn't do But to your initial question, I got a brother name on brandon. That's an angola I got a brother named john as older than me. He wanted to put me on all the hip hop stuff And then I got a sister named deondra. We call her deed and I got a sister named angine That's my youngest sister. Um And um, that's all That's dope man, you know, um, just uh To think about how you said judicial system. I think about, uh, you know, my boy, uh, P's brother, man, uh, that boy there, man, he'd been locked up alone. He murdered. Yeah He murdered been locked up a long time. So yeah, and and it's just crazy how the system will just take you man And just hide you man And a lot of times man, it don't be even something that you you can appeal it so much in texas I know and then next thing you know, you don't even have a shot at it no more You just you I mean the way they're playing games with uh Everybody is crazy man when it comes down to these lives, man It's also all appeals. Like you said once you exhaust all of them appeals then, you know, it's pretty much You really don't got nothing else and um, that's what kind of happened with my brother and see murder in the 1500 100 1500 other brothers and sisters, but um Angola was named after angola africa And that's why they really locked him up like that And that's what the jail was made for to put black people in so it's still doing the same thing They've been doing historically is big and and prison business is big in louisanna man Prison business is big in the south period And and just in general because if you go to any city, man, blacks are being really really Forced into a systematic way of doing things that they're not that they're not even uh, you know Yeah, that they're not even really, uh You know preppy to you know, we go in those courtrooms, man, and we look out of place We don't even be long in those places and when we get in there We we speak in a language that we're definitely not familiar with right, you know what i'm saying What the hell is going on, man? I done been in there when you done been judged by 12, man It's a problem, man When you start seeing how how how one-sided things are of course Yeah, you don't see that balance and the scales like this The scale is always in balance if you look at it exactly for a reason. No, yeah, you're right Now it's just to see if you're right too Even though I think even on them uh, uh twitter thing I think um Emoji thing I think it'd be looking in balance. It's always in balance It's never balanced So that tells you something right there, right and a lot of times it means I think it was spiritual and uh material And it's a lot to go with those new scales, right? This is crazy, man when you start looking at the way they're doing it It's like they're playing a mind game with you and right in the front of your face, right, you know So let's talk about it just just uh the culture of the music, man Like where is your pop right now for you far as in the whole not just in in the south But just in general, what what do you see music at right now? I mean, I feel like you know music always evolving and you know It's different from the early 2000s or the 90s or even when it started in the 80s in the late 70s and all that keep evolving I like ways that I feel like a lot of artists making way more money They getting some artists getting $200,000 of feature and for shows and all that artists wasn't getting that back in the day A lot of artists are way smaller because so much information on the internet They read more and then they learned a lot from what happened before them So I feel like people making more money you you create more bosses More people on youtube making money and stuff like that. So I feel like it's in a good place I do feel like a lot of times The internet made everything smaller and everybody kind of biting a lot of stuff sometimes what they might see winning so they see Chicago winning with the sound everybody won't sound like drill wrap. Some people might hear what Atlanta doing and sound like, you know, try to sound like young boys I think that kind of been always around though But I don't like that when people kind of bite other people style so much Because in the words of soldier slim like you said first thing be original, you know Oh, yeah, man, you feel more man. You got to be original man. That's the biggest thing man Like whereas the originality at now for our people and the way we do music and and you know A lot of times people are handing them out off to somebody else. They even be saying crazy stuff Like they'll be like, uh, man, you know, uh such such the gold He'll even be from the culture that'd be messing with me, bro Like they'll say stuff that I ain't gonna put no names on it But it's just weird to me like how could you even say something like that? When you know what our people came through to even give us this whole sound and this whole foundation I can't I can't understand that. That's a naive person even think that way to me Right. I'm just being real but a lot of niggas be saying, no, he the gold It's the gold. I'm like, that nigga ain't even from my coach That'd be messing me up nigga That's like something sense. I'm out of the gold of jazz and they don't really come from that I'm not coming from that. They can play it. I don't mind you entertaining it But you can't you can't harness the the fact of you to go to hell now We created the jazz. It's our thing and we sold nice Right. Niggas too nice. It's too nice. Niggas will give you anything They're gonna stop and help you when you got a flat, right? These niggas will help you but they will lose every time You got to be more strong with what God give you to you got a hold on and possess it and respect it Right. The Bible even tell you don't cast your pearl before the swan. So what you doing? They ain't gonna appreciate it. Respect what you got. That's all I'm saying So hip hop is like that to me. Don't be out running around here talking about this person that person to go When they really ain't even in front of coach you and then a lot of times they didn't even think it was gonna go this fault They thought it was a gimmick that thought it was a fad it was gonna be around and it was gonna be gone But when they seen big money now everybody won't be involved. Everybody will try to run exactly Exactly. That's why I put who they want at the front of it and say he the person because he's selling all these records Because he doing this in media He got this certain complexion at the end of the day You easy to appeal to everybody because you dealing with all type all sides of the scenario But that don't mean the scale is right once again It's in balance because a lot of times the things that my people did When I say my people people that been in the hood been shot Didn't have no father figure the father was pretty much stripped away from and put in prison or basically Just just just pass right by for opportunity because of the color that he was now you telling me that Once this person come up and get it out of the mud you ain't gonna respect him on a whole another level man Stop playing man. You know what I'm saying now that do be crazy Like I said you'll respect another person from another culture before your own when you've seen what they came from And you're like damn you're gonna give him more love than this person And you know how hard it is coming from where we come from with the eye stacked against you So that is crazy. I respect anybody that looked like me that got it from nothing just like y'all Coming out here and setting up this stuff and all of this stuff ain't easy Like y'all did it all together like and that's sort of hustling the grind man, you know respect that That's God man. We've been doing it. We did it in Atlanta twice We did it in Vegas twice Cali twice Houston twice now We are new all this man stand up for balls talk one on one Y'all roll with the show But we've been at the studio tuning we've been you know what I'm saying we crazy with it I think if we all worked the competition. I heard Frank Lucas say man We got I got a product that's that's that's uh better than the competition for a price that's lower than the competition Right when hey man, that's something when you think about what he really just said when he said that I'm about to give it to you now. That's true. Yeah So man, just just a little bit about like like what's the uh, what's the main who's the hardest right now down here in New Orleans that's really just popping off the charts right now that that that you think is next up Well, what I would say like if I had to think of one guy one female that come to mind Like rifle nine doing what he's doing, you know, you had a little baby in the video Kevin Gates came out Highboy came out from um the record hot Um vulture island was hot even before little baby when blibby got on it. I was even better um That song with no hook was great and then it was kind of like how when to um when kodak dropped that no flocking in 2014 With no hook and it just blew up or whatever and that's kind of how that song is out here So rifle nine he got a baritone type voice He talking his stuff and all that and he from downtown. I like what he's doing on the female side I like super bad a lot. I used to work with her um I used to work with her early And um, she got a record called it's a meeting in my bedroom and everybody be booking us. She out there and um Jacksonville right now. She got something to Savannah, Georgia So that record hot even silk even sung it a little bit on on on um tick tock or something She reposted so silk even like what she did with even like what she did with this record old record So she that's the tool that I really like a lot ride for nine and um Super bad, but she flew kena, which is where the airport at um New Orleans airport at check it man y'all don't understand man We're here with gdp man And make sure you got like and subscribe to our channel man But the thing you got to understand man We get we down here with with the one the one who got the keys to the city the keys to the streets This cat right here a man. Hey, I'm gonna be 100 with you man Ever since we came in the door man. He been showing me mad love man. I feel like they got on a ride I'm saying thank you so much for the for the hospitality man. Thank you for spending time You know those phone calls definitely they matter, you know, I'm saying understanding who in these cities they matter that matter man So anytime I come down and you believe me. I'm a call for I even show up I'm checking in you gotta check in when you really want to come down and make an impact in the streets And I I seen um young guru was talking about that jz engineers talking about how people Checking in is not a bad thing. He said it's just like they gonna connect you with the right people It's not like nobody extorting you it's just like look I know some people that I could tie you in with and you'll have a smooth Sell while you down here and all it because I'm gonna put you with the right people and you're gonna be in good hands So I know the same way with big D from media mogul. I know the same thing was shown Pull and you'll show me love. Let me come to his house and interview him and all that and he always Show me love down here. So like I said, all y'all dudes come with some good energy from Dallas area now I fuck with her man. Listen man Sean cotton say cheese TV man, everybody pull up and do interviews at my spot man Show me so much love man. You know what I'm saying ever since I started I mean you got realized I start off having all them subscribers and all that it came with time And but when you see the real ones that show up from the jump like klc like uh Sean cotton like big D the mogul like trill talk no pill talk certain ones that I just and it's a lot more But they just showed up man It just really showed us love and pretty much embraced the movement man boss talk 101 We putting it on the map and we standing behind them. We with them and that's what makes the difference Now we got g2p and he wouldn't me nigga period. Yeah, definitely. That's a big boss talk right there Man, so uh, go ahead mom. So um Growing up, when did you ended up going coming into the industry or the music? Well when I was an um, I used to be doing it like a lot of high school You know trying to get equipment and stuff like that when I was a high school And I always did like you said masterpiece Baby and slim um looked up the damondash and puffing them all that so I always wanted to do that Then my dad was a singer. So when I was younger, we used to watch like video. So Uh showtime at the Apollo used to play like the miracles the moments of my head is there find the shot like stylist all this So we grew up with all that in the house all that soul music and stuff. So um And by him being a singer he was he used to sing in a group with little yaw Yaw um uncle my dad was singing a group called the mystics and little yaw from unlv Um and his you know cousin name is jason mitchell that played easy His dad was in the group my dad. So like I said, I come from it and that's what made me want to do it So when I was in college My cousin had started record label and he was like man, you need to come over here and help us out My other cousin told me I went down there and I started helping out or whatever I was like passing out flyers cds T-shirts whatever I had to do to um take pictures anything they needed me to do I was doing I wasn't like I ain't about to hold no camera. I ain't about to pull no bags I never had no ego. So I was able to like I feel like I had that hustle mentality I had the hustle mentality like I say I could go from shining shoes to saying we won't shine shoes no more You know, we're on the building now. So um I just was doing that and then I was doing the a and r stuff over there with my cousin label And he had an artist. He had the youngest ones. He had super blanco That was in the group squad up that left wings to put out mixtase with in the um early 2000s And then um after soup he started working with the youngest ones Then uh, I s a that made the song meet me halfway and then I started working with um bty Youngin which was like people called him like the modern day soldier slim of this era because You know, he had been shoddy been the jail for all kind of stuff and he was living his rhymes So I used to work with him too and and up into this blog and stuff that I'm doing now, but Yeah, that's what I kind of got into it man. That's dope man You know, you know, like I said, it's some people that's born into it It got to be it came be just on you got to be in you And it's just the way that you express in the facts that hey, man, I was here there. I was over there God that's god paving away Right and then another thing too that I want to say my brother is in that goal I know j prince said the reason he got into the business because he was trying to do something for his brother I think his brother name was sir rappin like that's right. That's right And my brother was doing the music and stuff too So I used to see I boosted and web it was doing and I did that with my brother and my partner And this is around the time everybody's popping ecstasy big and in the 2000s and they used to be rolling all the time Just won't rap or did it me they said put a beat on it just rap So I'm like man, I'm gonna get some equipment And when I was going to this college community college Delgado in the city poke area I had got my money from my student loan and I had bought all the equipment So that's kind of how I first had bought some equipment and I did it in Atlanta So even before I was doing the stuff from my brother and my cousin I was on I mean before I was doing with my cousin I was doing with my brother and just trying to put our records on our own So I had both my own equipment and stuff fandoms NPCs everything spent 10,000 after Katrina And Atlanta would have been bought a studio even before I was working with my cousin When you think about uh the different people the manufacturers the producers that come from down here All of these different guys man What really sticks out to you when it comes to the bounce music and stuff What's what's the what's the stick out point for you? I mean, it's just it's just all things just like like I said in um in Jamaica They got the reggae music, you know in Puerto Rico. They got the reggae tone. Like, you know, that's our thing Whatever, you know hyphy in the big like is that's what that's our thing Crunking on Memphis. It's just our thing Like it just connects us and all and they go all the way back to You know back to New York when they kind of got there from the showboys and stuff like that So that record was pulled from a record from Hollis Queens TT Tucker and people like DJ Jimmy and soldier slim and you know Uh people like partners in crime everlasting hit man They did what they did with it and it's just something that resonated with us So when you hear people at black parties riding past and they call us bumping in music You'll hear that beat coming out there. We call it that beat. So it's just some of the part of us It's just like you can't have no orders without having gumbo Second line and you know with the Indians and jazz or even bounce music Like that's all a part of the things that make us who we are Man, you know, you just one of those dope guys man Like I said that it's just dope to be done You know even be sitting in your presence with the history and stuff that you hold You know of dealing with your culture in your community A man top three artists of all time did our lives Top three artists number one and rap and whatever genre. It don't matter. Just you your top three The top three that sticks out to g to p that's with e niggas going down. I don't see uh, Michael Jackson money might get number one y'all. He just said two pot two pocket number two Jay-z Jay-z at number three man. If I could have had one more All right with them three number three Jay-z Jay-z. Yeah, number two two pop and Michael Jackson number one Yeah, well, it's a lot of people that allude to Michael Jackson I'd even been on the level of chris brown anymore cuz chris. What did you think about that without the nine Michael Jackson Gary and Dan is fine. He's one of a kind like he just I have to tell you what the people Say it on this show that he bars be saying whatever man I mean people might say whatever because like I said, they might not be as stupid But I I'm going Michael Jackson. I mean he influenced all of them Even though Mike got influenced by jane brown Like, you know Michael Jackson something different bro. He just was a different type of special talent Well, why why why why two pocket not biggie? Well, I'm a big two-pot fan two pocket jay-z my favorite rappers I say why two pocket not because to me like two pot We talking air or not and jay-z and I know it too two pot the reason I say two pocket not big It whatever first of all like pop Just not as an actor as a poet as just like a revolutionary type mind Like the way his songs he has stuff like dear mama, you know, keep your head up or change Um, I get around he had some for every type of feel like biggie made good records and biggie can make his songs and Biggie rappers ass. So but pop really give you goosebumps when you hear lord knows and all that and two pocket influence So many people everybody won't be the next two pop Everybody say I'm nobody on really see not taking away from biggie You don't hear a lot if you say I'm a new biggie, but everybody say I'm the two pocket is Had a lot of shows man, Michael Shout out to my boy, Mike Jones. Mike Jones said biggie was that guy like because he was big like that And he was able to correspond with the people and bring the people into a place where he was at and that he was fat ugly Whatever however, I stay cool. That's it. I'm just so when you start to see this big nigga come on the scene And it wasn't popular being fat at the time And you start to see fat niggas get on the break, you know This is the movement that he that's how he interjected because even though heaven deal was a because he was a big dude Mike Jones was a big dude and he lost weight. So to those big guys You may see it from a different perspective what I'm saying All right, just say like Al Capone You don't gotta do could be like I'm against the guy, but I'm I'm like an Al Capone type guy You ain't gotta be big to say you just they just feel like they got the Al Capone attitude Even though they probably not fat like Al Capone They just liked his the way he was gangster With two pock pock had dudes tattooed stuff crossed their stomach everybody did that They had dudes wearing bald his when they really wasn't even going bald like pock influenced so many people So yeah, Mike Jones probably was influenced by him because he felt like pock big He wasn't always the attractive guy But you know, you put some facet glass on the facet shirts Now he a ladies man like pock said but to me pock is going to be immortalized no matter what that's why in certain colleges they got To pock poems that people recite, you know, they got people and Cal Berkeley that talk that got classes about pock So pock got statues of them in europe and all that like it's a lot of things that pock did his influence is just so many different ways And then he wanted those minds that anybody could talk to in the interview from Somebody on deadline to somebody on rap city and you be and you be like man, that's a deep ass brother So pock music and just his personality everything he was was transcending. So now jz. Let's get on him jz yjz and not a little white yjz and not scarface yjz and not Give me some pmc niggas. I'm a pmc Don't get yourself out there. No trouble I love chao but let know that you better You better do because he held it down for the south niggas. He loved lose amin too But that's why we knew he was born in cry louis and that's right And then he moved to port author But I love pimp c because pimp c love the south So i'ma just let that be known first Not a reason why I love jz and wane see me and wane like probably like a couple years older me So we kind of come from both of us love jz wane field rapper jz too. He got j lyrics on his own Wayne the way he turned into is on a whole another level and I still kind of probably give it to him But me just being biased. I love jz so much But jz didn't done so many things in the game not just in business. I'm talking about straight music He just on a whole another level but j kept evolving You know, he stayed fresh with the game and he always just mod him with it And he was flying fashion and music and business and so many different things But jz a hell of a rapper and he don't write nothing Like big it would have but if them dudes are still alive I don't know about we would still be saying it because pock and big it was still around but by them Not being around and and the people that still here j don't wonder whatever to me See it's funny because these conversations get a little wild for me man Like when you start talking about these people and you start talking about these brands And you start talking about these movements. I gotta talk about masterpiece and now I gotta talk about baby Because I'm a big fan, bro. I don't play around with the business stuff. I'm a boss So right boss the boss you go always respect them niggas that you know that really, you know Nigga they put paved the way right and and that other niggas pretty much they didn't have it He's just a lot of other niggas because they was from the south, right? So when they made the moves they moved made you got to respect it You got to respect it and you got to understand it and even j prince Right who led the way for them. You got to understand man. It's a whole deal. I'm biased nigga, right? I'm an old nigga. That's biased. You know I'm an old bias nigga, man. I ain't trying to hear it man. I love what we do I love what we started and I noted when when when you had the down south hustlers Tapes and and all that stuff coming out. It wasn't respected on the level that everybody's respected So I don't forget that never gonna play with that like and when you start seeing the people like, uh, You know peter came out the time that he did and started working with the artists in these areas Niggas didn't really care about that like that. Right niggas were laughing at that Let's be real. So at the end of the day, the foundation was laid by some real real stumped down niggas, man Some real ones like, you know, they come from a different place. So I look at it from a different perspective Right now what I would say about that like I said definitely because like you see When when pock and bigger was alive, I felt like the game was kind of locked up You had the east and the west and that's why even when outcasts got booed is like nobody cared about that That's right. That's right. I forgot about outcast biggie die or whatever, you know Because jermaine duprenner was you know, having fun and all that puffing it was dancing around new york with shiny suits on But master p filled their void with their gangsta stuff But he appeared to the south with the gold tea, you know, and everybody was like, oh, man I'm booze coming to slay the baby was saying the slaying and all that But that's the thing that pimp seeing him in brisk like y'all don't think we cool But we were at me we're making country rap tunes y'all can had a hip hop So when p felt like what damn we got a we got a market for this and 38% of the people that live in america live in the south is like 121 million people that live in the south And it's probably about 321 million people that live in america. So Master p knew that stuff, huh? You know, yeah master p knew that I mean we from louis and which is 4.6 million in texas is 29 million But him knowing that all these big in florida got like about 21 million So if you get all these southern places and then by them kind of this is in itself like all y'all ain't no real hip hop Y'all the south but the south big like I said 38% of people live in the south If you appeal to those country people that they might call country boys That's what made p big and that's why you get the young your god is the people like dolph People like nipsy looking up to them because master p and them made these type of deals Well, people was thinking man, these dudes country stupid ain't gonna get no deal like that But people like russell simmons Got a production deal just to make the record people like Fucking um, what his name is dr. Dre and um Shit night they get a joint venture, but p and babe and I'm getting distribution there and they could put all their records out They could drop all the time they could get a production team and put out music like motown was doing in detroit So he took that whole hustle and bought it to the south But they just think all these country boys ain't gonna know what they're doing whatever But p like look just give me this uh deal I'ma have another money to promote my records and we're gonna figure out who dumb in the end And Right, did they know Did you press them because like you said, man, they looked up the j-prince baby It's made you respect the south. He could have took that a different way He he talked about the time when he went up to new york and but they started acting new harkish I don't even know if that's a word But when they when they did he made them come back to houston You know the ghetto boys and all that so we could so and I can't wait to interview them But it's yeah, I remember he was saying he said because at first you know the first ghetto boys They were trying to rap like they were from new york and he was like man We got a clean house and get out get out and we got to play his trellis make them respect our sound And it's the same thing dr. Drenner had to do And cally they showed up on the movie they was trying to rap like they from new york And they're like man, we got to just do it our way and that's why easy was perfect So anytime you embrace your sound you're looking to identify where you from It's going to transcend and I feel like that's what cash money did good And that's for no limited good and no three six and all them dudes man I hope you're enjoying boss talk 101 man. You heard G the people in the down man So I have one last question. I want to know so out of all of these people influential people that you've met because Use our person. I love to soak up knowledge. I can tell right now. I read a lot. Yes, so Who has influenced your life the most whereas gave you the most game and what game did they give you? My mama gave me my mom and my dad and all that stuff like that I always sound like I said be slow to speak quick to listen Um, you know, I'm talking people in the industry industry that I ever met that really gave me, um Maybe nobody gave you any game A lot of time no a lot a lot of it wasn't like I said I got some stuff from Sean and all that stuff like that Um, like I said just being consistent and key working like just start and just don't stop or whatever and all like You got to start somewhere so that was the main thing But most of the stuff I got was from people I never really met I just read books and I was like man if I can't meet master P. I can't meet bird man Uh, can't read me that they read a berry golden. Let me go watch documentaries. Let me go read a book or whatever Let me go read books about Jim Bezos Steve Jobs different people He giving some jewels. Yeah, y'all need to go do some research and really really Pay attention. Yeah, the books or whatever the books take you place So I just was like if I could just learn from like Mickey Stevenson This was the main person. I was the a and r and Motown records I'm reading about how you work with artists and this stuff So I'm like, all right, I could do this And that's why artists get mad when you kind of tell them about stuff because they're a little more sensitive about this stuff So you kind of know how to deal with them because you're reading about people that actually did it before Clyde Davis So Jermaine Dupre, Russ Simmons, all of them. So I got a lot of game from the books really Wow, I want to ask you about something you just said and we're gonna we're gonna get you out of here Because I know you you got you're a busy man. You got things going on Um, I want to talk to you about that Sean cotton. You said he got a lot of game from him A lot of times people don't really understand how fast he's he's moving up the you know The he's he's filling spaces in places where the legend said to be honest with you You have to talk about showing cotton. He's he put a south and what he does with say cheese and what he's accomplished In in in that brand, right? Let's talk about him for a second in the way that he influenced you because you spoke on it And you put his name in that category and a lot of people we even got a gatekeeper listen Dallas man Where yeah, he's he's been on yeah, I know You're getting on there don't matter it don't matter every tired his name Yeah, they retired himself But let's just let's just talk about his influence in the in in this era in the hip hop and the way that he's Really really gave us something to motto as a brother because I respect him a lot And I love what he's done. So let's just talk about man I like Sean like I said man Sean help Get your helping hand and like I said by him posting me all them times on cc But nobody knew who I was and I just was having no opinions about Hip hop and what I thought about things and he kept posting me for free when you know He said you could either pay or get popping if you if you want to be on here You're paying beyond some platforms don't even let you pay to be on this stuff to even get I don't do that Right, that's what's saying But he gives the underdogs a shot And like I said, if you want to pay you could be on there if you don't you could be cool You know, you could have some viral stuff and I like it and post it and he did that for me And then it turned the light on man I was like with them then I went to listen to his interviews I'm like with them we kind of got a lot of similarities He loved hip hop he talked about this stuff I could kind of start doing this and build up my own thing and build up my own thing Well, I could break all this like him and Sean and broke a lot of artists that people didn't know about like I saw quando rondo rapping on the back of a car beating on the car Before he even was with young boy and all that on say cheese, you know I seen stuff a right way a lot of people that I seen on say cheese or whatever Seen right way, yeah, I seen on when he interviewed Kevin Geese and all that early and stuff like a lot of things That um that I was seeing and was what Sean was doing and showing just all about helping people So, you know, like he did the stuff arrived for nine and all that he was instrumental in that You know, he came not an interview super bad and all that for me and all he even interviewed bty young And he interviewed Nino Kelvin a lot of artists even from now I can't remember everybody because you know, it'd be kind of hard But he did a lot of stuff and he always sure loved the new Orleans and Lil Wayne One his favorite on rappers and he got Wayne tatted on his own like Michael Jackson, Kobe and Floyd Mayweather So I know how much he loved New Orleans and New Orleans was one of the first cities He said embraced him like St. Louis and New Orleans So he always had a special spot in his home from New Orleans, but I feel like Brothers like him make it and don't forget and he still always say put your $10,000 and like he got on his ties And he just always a pull up to up and coming dudes and see how I get on your podcast I'll let you interview me He just don't act all hollywood and how to touch and I feel like a lot of times people be like Oh man, Sean Cotton is he that he lame or Man, I do still tweet everybody back on Twitter. He just engaged with people And I just feel like he a good dude and if more people You know will pull brothers up or whatever when they get a chance it'll make it a stronger So I always try to help people out or whatever and I always feel like you know We could be strong if we just help one another out and I feel like that's what Sean Just another brother helping another brother out giving people chances If you see something special in you he gonna he gonna help stamp you And he don't even got to have nothing to gain from it because he didn't make a dime over me Yeah, you got to think about it. He's he's 30. He's barely over 30 something years old He's came into a place where he filled the void that needed to be filled for our culture. Definitely. He's definitely a great Entrepreneur, he's a great businessman And I think that's what people he has he just opened up a store downtown and keep it on me Yeah, and and and he got a partner. I always shout that store out But to be that young and to make the move that he's made He he definitely is one that you're gonna have to give the mantle to as one of these older guys like myself to say Hey, man, this guy doing things that we didn't even have a chance to do This guy opened doors that we couldn't even open this area He's creating waves and business for young black entrepreneurs to be able to understand a way A young kid like my kid right that can look at him my my my 14 year old and my 16 year old can look at a shun cotton And now they can see a way being paved from what he has created and say, you know, if he could do it Then I could do it. Yeah, like I said, I love how you see what I'm saying Yeah, I love how he curate the stuff like I say you find the right content Curate the stuff and you know, he doing what he's doing the hip hop and this era and like I said See she's definitely needed and it's definitely a part of the culture And that's why the source recognized his platform in the magazine and say like this is a powerful blogger Sean cotton and like I said, Sean cotton come from working at 9 to 5 to being a millionaire So it kind of give you that American dream story too Like you could just have it if you got the passion to drive and the hard work and you understand that your team matter And everybody play a part just like we have in the surgery a surgeon No, all the people that's in that room helped out with that surgery to be successful Any CEO or any football coach that team and he got a team of people and just like you said your team Everybody matter and just having that person that could understand people to listen And I feel like that's how he is and that's what make him a good leader I see I see a lot of people like the 85 south shows. I see gilly the kid and all those guys and Drink champs But when I look at a guy like Sean cotton, like I said and he he didn't in certain places Certain things that he didn't have wasn't afforded those opportunities But he made them respect him in this industry and that's a difference I'm not saying those guys didn't get it out of mud in their own way But when you've been an artist and you've already been having big names and stuff Then it's a little bit different for you than it would be for a guy like Sean Who who really had never been on any of those? He had to make those people in those rooms respect him, right? You know what I mean on a whole another level So say cheese is one of those places where I don't think it goes nowhere Right, I think it's going to be around for a long time. No, definitely. Definitely. Definitely on Definitely trailblazer Yeah, definitely create a whole new lane and show a lot of people that in this era That how important blogging is and how important people like him are to Breaking talent and stuff and definitely that's why I didn't know about it. I mess with him all the time I'll give him those texts just to say, hey man, keep doing what you're doing I do it. You know what I mean? But I might even get a reply or whatever, but I always send them because I know he get them We all busy. I got a lot of friends. I do like that But he wanted those guys that I'm always checking in with and like I said time is right. He'll jump on the show He's working. I'm working you working We all work in so we got to respect everybody in the lane that they're in And make sure that we don't forget about them, but I also push him up when we get a chance Yeah, like I said, he told me I was a New Orleans spokesman in our lane and he gave me that nickname And like I said, I always show him love and even on twitter because he loved to it I always keep on keeping and keep doing anything.
