Got it there in the bottom there, though. That water's scared with them kids, man. But that way, when I go, like, in the ocean and shit, I be home. It's healing because it's spiritual, but I respect the water. Like, I'm at peace when I know the water, where I'm like, I don't want no problem with you. I'm not even really... I fuck with the hot tub. The only thing I probably do is piss in the water. I ain't fucking with no ocean, man, I'm cool. That cool, you can pee pee in the water, but I ain't gonna disrespect you. No, I ain't gonna know what Ned. You don't know how to swim? I can swim, and swimming ain't what I'm worried about. Man, I was in the, I don't know, I was in Miami, I was in the ocean, and man, shit just was crawling on all over me. I'm like, man, I don't know what... I don't like this, man. I look down, man, like a whole school of fish, them shit's just there. I'm like, damn, I ain't scaring y'all, you're scaring me. Shit. For real? Yeah, but I don't like that.

You know what I'm talking about in Miami, you know, they got jellyfish close. Gee, see what I'm talking about? Yeah. You said jellyfish quit. They ain't dolphin. I ain't look. You know, the water be like, right here. Right. That's as far as I'm going. Like when it come on the sand a little bit. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Nate, I'm cool. No, I'm cool. You want them all in there. I can't put that water on me. I can't because my wife want to be there. I ain't there for them to be in the water. She just want to take pictures. So that's it. We good. See? I ain't touching the water. I don't have to pee in the water. I just think that my shoes all. Give me all the jet ski. I'm going stupid, man. That's why I went to Miami last time. Los ain't go that time. He want a professional to do it. Oh, man. I'm like, come on the boat, man. You know how I let y'all, when y'all get back on land. Yeah, but I wasn't on the boat. I ain't go on the jet ski. You don't go on the boat, then. I'm scared of the boats. Yeah, he dad said I went on the boat. Yeah, I ain't fucking with that. Yeah, but you don't do much. Yeah, we chillin'. See the swimming pool, I can touch the bottom and bounce my ass back up out of there. Right. You can't do that in the ocean. No, you gotta swim. No, I'm fucking sad. You can touch this coming in there. Fuck all that. We ain't taking no chances. My dumb ass jumped in the ocean with the dolphins just so I could say I was in the ocean with the dolphins. See, I ain't doing nothing there. Not knowing that they can pull your stupid ass out. See. I didn't know that. They can do a lot of shit. I'm cool, man. And we on the boat.

We all having too much fun. We having so much fun that I ain't even told these people, welcome back to the 85th South Pole. Oh, shit. Yeah. I didn't know we were going to talk about shit. Man, we been recording. We got to talk about too much good shit, and you don't fuck that up. But we got a very special guest in the trap with us today, man. We've been waiting to get you up in here for a minute. That's what the real life for them. Exactly. I thought the real life mean, nope. Nope. The real life mean, go. I get it. I did. Well, you can already look and tell who we got in here with us today. One of the coldest, hardest rapping, this nigga's in the rap game, man. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. One of the coldest storytellers, shit talkers, all that, man. Punch line, punch line, gun boss, whatever it is, street shit for your shit. Yeah. Then you're gonna spread your little jeans, send them to me and all that. Oh, definitely got some crazy ass gun balls. You already know that. None other than Mr. Dunn Tripp. Yes, sir. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Yes, sir. Welcome, welcome, welcome. They highly requested people bringing this for the longest time. And I want you to, hey, I put my work in. I hit him. I said, bro, we need you on the show. He said, I'm coming. Let me get this shit out the way. When I got something to talk about, I'm coming. I said, all right. Yeah, buddy. So here we go. How you been, man? Man, I'm alive. I can not complain. I don't, then. Yeah, yeah. Don't complain. Shit. They don't never help. Nobody likes a complainer. Right. It's true that. It's true that. You want to hit your shit so they can beat it. We think shit. Yeah. You like the coldest, though. I appreciate it. You like the cold. I always say, like, any rapper that I... specifically was putting on, like, my YouTube. You talking about click on my laptop on the computer, play this while I'm in the trap. Yeah. I'm doing some... We could relate. Right. But not only that, you were going through real shit and telling nigga, like, you got to overcome that shit. You got to stand ten told, bro. You got to rap. Hey, man. You know, it's a... It's fulfilling to know that, you know, I can get this far ahead just by being myself. I mean, you know, in every facet of the entertainment, it's real easy to get tricked into being who people want you to be. And then in real time, you know, when you go... You know, you can beat whatever one that camera on, then you run to a nigga in Kroger. Nigga like, damn, man. Shit. Damn, bro. You dry as hell. Damn, what's up, bro? You know, I ain't never want to... You know, I ain't want to be in... I ain't never want that to happen. I ain't want to... Like, they always say, you'll never meet your idols and all that shit. Because, you know, who they are when you, you know, when you're watching them or paying attention to them and who they really are. I'm like, man, I ain't... That ain't the space I want to be in. Because in real time, you know, my music started popping, but I was still in the trap, man. You know, I ain't... Got all the chains and all the fancy cars and shit. So, you know, when you see me out wherever, you know, immediately think I fell off because you don't see all the 90 chains I had on in the last fucking seven interviews you saw me in and shit. And, you know, like I said, shit just... Man, it's just wonderful to see that I can reap the benefits of being myself. I ain't really had to, you know. And in this, you know, I'm 38. I'm my own boss. I've been my own boss for so long. Like, it'd be certain shit. I gotta say, you know, I had... Like, I had to tell myself, like, you know, we good, we comfortable, but we don't want to be comfortable. You get comfortable. You know, that's when you start losing everything. So, you know, we always stay at it. And just like shit this year. Man, I've been running. I was like, fuck it. I ain't got no rules. I ain't got no plan. You know, at least not in that aspect. You know, of course, I got goals. I set goals and shit. But for the most part, man, I ain't sit and try to make it be... For a long time, it held me up trying to make sure shit was perfect. That shit don't ever happen, man. You know, you be trying to get that shit to get situated and fucking have a baby. And that shit, that shit, for real shit, that shit pauses everything. You know, you be... Like, man, I had set up two tools for 2021. And COVID hit. COVID was like, fuck what you talking about? Shit, I'm stuck in the house. I'll be in the house anyway. But, you know, that was a time where, you know, I took my time. We were gonna wait till we got everything situated. Everything lined up. And then, you know, wake up. They like shit. It's a curfew. Everybody got masks on now. You can't even gather this shit. They hit me with that. We lost a lot of money doing that. But that was my point, though. You know, you can't really... You can't wait for the perfect moment. There ain't no perfect moment. You just gotta strike. You know, do what you're doing and figure it out along the way. Because experience the best teaching no matter what. I'm sure, you know, when y'all start doing this shit, y'all ain't say, well, let's wait till we got the $40,000 cameras before we start. No, Niggas said, well, look, you know, we got this. Let's go get this and borrow that or rent this and rent that. Then, you know, eventually that shit got you in the space where you at. I seen y'all niggas doing drops earlier. That shit... The way y'all do that shit, that shit was... That shit was effortless. I mean, I first started doing that shit. That shit wasn't... I know it wasn't. I still hate doing drops. Y'all, like, tag-team them shits. They gotta be like, man, it's constant that the what the filler, huh? All right, brother. Let's just say that shit again. Who the what? Like, y'all did that shit. Like, you know, that show you that experience is the best teaching no matter what. You can go and practice that shit all day until you start running that shit. Like, try to learn how to ride a bike, sit in the house. It ain't never gonna happen. You're an expert in the house. You take your ass outside, get on that bike, and, you know, you get the paddling and you ain't playing for no rock or no fucking stick or that goddamn dog that's down, two houses down. Right? Now your ass got a pedal for real. Shit get real then. But, you know, I feel like that's how... That's how I function best instead of just sitting trying to figure that shit out to be, you know, trying to come up with a grand plan and all that shit. We just do that shit as we go on. You just jump in to do it. Right. Like I said, shit, this time we call them and we're like, shit, let's do it. Fuck trying to line it up, set it up, and then I'm with it. Let's work it out. How you changed from... You said you used to be a perfectionist and I know you said the kids had something to do with. Yeah. But is that... Was that the key really that clicked you over and then like, fuck it. I just got to do this shit. I can't keep... Because, like, with my first two kids I thought I had it figured out. And then third child, one unliked them two, you know, the first two weren't like one, you know, it wasn't like cop being paced. Yeah. But, you know, it was just two of them. You can kind of adjust to it. And then my third child was a complete, like it was a curve ball. Like my third child came, my premature, she came like too much, too soon. Had tubes and shit. Doctor said she wasn't going to make it. And shit, she's 11 now. So, you know, that was a blessing to herself. But that's what I'm saying. So with that, you know, I went, you know, before then my idea of having a baby was just, you know, a woman push a baby out. My first two kids, my baby mama had to have a C-section for both times. That was, you know, that was a whole kind of... The second time out, you know, I felt like I'm used to it now. I get it. I am familiar with this. And, you know, third child come out prematurely, couldn't have expected that. Like when nothing I could have done to prepare me for that. And being real, I ain't handle that like I should have handled it. But that, you know what I'm saying, that's what, you know, I looked at that, I knew I didn't handle that right. So, because I was scared, I was fucking, I was super frightened. They told my child I was going to die. And I'm like, you know, last thing I want to do is be there when my child die. And in real time, my baby mama was there every day. And that's where I was supposed to be. I was supposed to be her support. I'm supposed to just, you know, I'm so scared for my damn self. Fast forward, I ain't with her. But still, you know, I learned a lot from that. And, you know, to see my daughter now and she, you know, she is completely like, man, everything I thought I knew about parenting or kids, all that shit, shit went out of the door. Like my daughter, like, I like, you know, I grew up, Georgia was the shit. Georgia was like gold. My mama couldn't afford that shit. So I just got to watch other niggas wear them shit. So when I got, you know, old enough, and you know, when we was out in the street, my money went to Georgia. I ain't worth nothing else since fucking, probably like 22. Since I was 22 to right now, I don't own nothing that ain't a herd of Georgia. But it means something to me. It's symbolic to me. They symbolic to me, but you see, I don't play sports either. I ain't want to stop doing your important message. Woo! Boy, receiver don't serve. No, not at all. I was, I was good at the other stuff. Yeah, I understand. You know what? That's the ball right there. Yeah. Keep that, that's the ball. I'm not talking that shit. Yeah. But you know, I play defensive. We're going to play sport. You know, we playing sports. You know, my kids, as they got older, you know, I'm thinking, you know, I'm going to buy my kids Georgia. You know, that's the shit. Man, I went in the store and the time, they still do it now. Like, you know, first they start with them schedules and shit. The shoes are light up. And you know, they so determined, all right, no, I'm not buying that shit. Now I buy them Georgia. Now they like them. You know, they want to, you know, when they get to dress themselves, they want to put them shoes on. Right. They want to dress themselves with the, with the crocs. Now on the justice light up. Remember, remember don't stop lighting up. Right, right. So I, you know, I spent whatever we spent on buying all the kids Georgia, for no fucking reason. And at some point, you know, I had to grasp it and get it, you know, in real time, I'm doing this, not so they experienced everything I experienced, but so they get to experience the shit I didn't get to experience. And sometimes I have to keep that in mind. Like when I be buying outrageous shit, like, I got a 12-year-old daughter say she want to, for her birthday, buy her a power wheel and put a real motor in it. I say, no way in hell. About two years ago, I would have failed for that dumb shit. I'm like, no, no, we ain't going there. A power wheel. Right. You twill, you need a bicycle, a big bicycle. I get to school to put a motor. Right. Man, no, we ain't going to, she talking about a fucking power wheel with a real motor, some shit she seen on, on TikTok. And that's another thing. Yeah. She talking to corners and do some driving. Yeah, she doing some real shit. We ain't doing all that. But that's what I'm saying. Because they don't wear jeeps, but they put like, they upgrade the battery on the shit. They started them off going five mile per hour, they got 50. 50. See, we ain't doing all that. What you got like, one of them hardware batteries in that bad boy. Yeah, from a power drill. Yeah. Yeah, see, I'm scared of that kind. But that's what I'm saying. Like that shit I couldn't have prepared for. I thought I had it figured out. And you know, just even that, with this TikTok shit, like, you know, we ain't growing on my fucking, we ain't growing without, you know, our internet, we ain't, you know, if my mama get on the phone, it's over. It's there. Y'all the shit for the... Yeah, well, all that shit. Exactly. Now they got that shit on everything. My daughter got in trouble. I took her iPad, I took her phone. She found a fucking iPod. I bought fucking 20 years ago. And put that same game. Put the TikTok shit on the iPod. I'm like, wow. You know, them shit is obsolete. They don't even make software for that shit no more. No. Show me. You smart as hell, though. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You know, that, back to what you were saying, that was the, you know, that was my turning point. They let me know, I ain't got this shit figured out and I ain't never going to have it all the way figured out. So, you know, I just got to take what I do know and dive on out the, just like, you know, like you said, you learn how to swim. You ain't sit there and read no book. I'm like, okay, so I do my arm like this. You got to teach it. Right. You got to get active. You know, I just took the same approach. At some point I just said, fuck it, man, I can't sit and study this shit all day. I got to go out here and do it. And shit kept changing. So take it back. Like, I want to know the darn truth. Throw the kid. How did you pick up a pen and go crazy with the rapping shit? Man, I've been rapping since I was 11. You got, I don't, my timelines are always going to be horrible. But when I seen Chris Cross on TV, like, they did it. Man, you couldn't have made me want to be nothing else. I ain't want to be no basketball player, no doctor, no physician, nothing. I wanted to rap. I wanted to rap right then. It was kids, the kids can do this shit. Of course shit didn't happen then. But, you know, I was writing rap to the 11th thing and I was going to be the next, you know what I'm fucking, like, I thought I was going to be Bow Wild before Bow Wild popped up. And then, you know, as time progressed, you know, I saw more and more children doing it. And fast forward to now, you see a lot of the kids stars went fucking wet. So it was, you know, they whole lives is upside down now. But either way, now I watch kids doing it, and I, you know, I looked at that shit like shit, I can do it. So shit, I begged my mama, my Christmas, you know, my Christmas list changed. It went from, like, you know, Nintendo and shit to Fisher Price, karaoke machines and shit. And shit from that, I just kept at it. And, you know, my verses at 11 was hard. My verses at 16 was hard, but I was lying my ass off at 16. I had Lamborghinis and everything in the verses, boy. Man, all that shit. I had Lambos, Bugattis, and all kinds of shit in my verse. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, again, it's the only way you learn, experience. But man, at some point, I got older and life started happening. I think the kids is what kind of, the kids is what gave me my, my, my image, so to speak. That's what showed me, you know, because it went from, it went from me, I, you know, I used to rap like, like Cassidy, you know, just all punchlines. I ain't got to really correlate with the line before or after it. But here's a punchline. When I get through this one, I got another punchline. And like I said, life started happening. And rap became like, you know, we're shit, y'all black men. So, you know, you don't get to really vent. We just said, said and go, I don't complain. So, the microphone became that I want, you know, it used to be like rap and it'd be fun to shit. You know, I feel like crying right now. I'm trying to hold it in and, you know, words is coming to it. So, shit, we write. That's how we wind up with Letter to my son in real time. That shit just, you know, that shit took over. Right. Not, not only on that song, like there's a lot of records where you feel. Right. That's what I'm saying. My son wound up being a record that was, that was, you know, that so many people could relate to. And that was another turning point. I'm like, you know, when I got to that space, I was, you know, like I said, I was still trying to make the music that made people jump up and down. And that shit caught. And, you know, I was trying to figure out how, because it was like, it was the worst moment in my life. And I'm like, you know, how is it that this is the honesty in it? And you listen to it. You know, it's a lot of, I think, I think all of the, the, the different flavors and music belong. Because I think you need everything. I mean, I think, you feel like partying and shit. You don't want to listen to me because I ain't no partying. Right. So you want to listen to, you know, the shit that, that gave you that energy and shit. I want to party. When you get through partying, you realize you're spending way too much fucking money in the club. Now my music you know what I'm saying? I feel like all that shit be needed and like, you know, uh, oh, he used to tell me, uh, take all walks of life to make the world go round. It wasn't too many getting money, hustler, every day dude in the neighborhood with problems. That's why I said your music was motivational. Yeah. And it was hard and it was heartfelt, but it was like, oh, he talking about something. Yeah. I didn't listen to the party shit because I was sacking up. Oh, nigga, I don't want to hear that shit. I'm listening to a motherfucker who really got something going on. I'm like, oh, this nigga is fine. Listen, I had the scale in the booth. You know, all the YouTube videos where you can see the upper part of me. Yes. But you see me funneling shit right here. Yes. Yeah, I was working while I was working on my crap. Yeah. I had to pay bills, man. I said I had to get done and I ain't know, I ain't really social. Like, you know, I don't really like hanging with niggas. I ain't into your news. You said what I'm saying. So, you know, part of the party and then never enticed me. I went into it. I didn't really want to do it and I'm naturally paranoid. Like we'd be somewhere with a crowd. You know, we're in the fucking in the club and shit. You know, a bunch of niggas in here. I'm like, I don't know what none of these niggas is on. And so I'm like this the whole time. And, you know, you know, right, I'm not paying attention. Everybody else high and drunk. Niggas stepping on your feet. Niggas mad at you because he stepped on your feet. Damn, bruh. My bad, bruh. Damn, bruh. Niggas, you stepped on me. You fucking mad at me for it. But, you know, like I ain't never, like I ain't never enjoyed that environment. So, I just was like, man, fucking, I'm going to give my money and take care of what I got to take care of and all the other shit, man. A lot of people around me started dying and the places they was dying and was places that I was invited to or just didn't go to. Like, you know, it'd be like my homeboy got killed. They were shooting dice. My brother was out there shooting dice. You know, I just want to hang with my brother at some point. The shit he'd like to do just ain't what I like to do. I can't do it. Like, I don't smoke, I don't drink. That shit don't work for me. And I'm a firm believer that everything ain't for everybody. So, you know, I treated all that shit the same way. I was selling dope and nobody knew it. Like, I was on some, I don't know you, nigga. You ain't serving you nothing. I tell you, I'm not. I don't know you, nigga. I'm not serving you shit. I was banging up a zone. I'm still, I ain't serving you shit. I don't know you. I serve him. I know him. If he fuck with you, that's on y'all. But you come to me. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't got nothing. I'm cool. We ain't rocking. But, you know, from there, I spent so much time to myself that, you know, the shit, it was easier to, it was easier to make the kind of music I wanted to make. I ain't got one nobody in the, I turned my bedroom into a studio. All the videos, people think I'm in a closet. In real time, I turned my bedroom into a studio. But all them, all them nights, I don't know nothing about myself. I can say whatever, like it's a, I did like a freestyle of Max Willow Pretty Wings. If you watch this show, I'm on that bitch singing and everything. I can't say worth shit. I was, but I'm in drama. Ain't nobody present to laugh at it. Ain't nobody there to say, man, you shouldn't say it there or you went too far. No, I can do what the fuck I want to do. And then, you know, as I, as I, you know, as my career flourished, I just kept that same, you know, that same philosophy. Like, you know, and the way I rock, it's all essential personnel only. If we're in the studio and you don't got nothing to do with this, go home. We can hang out some other time, some other place. I'm at work though. Even if we just sitting here and listening to beats, I'm at work. And I don't come to your job because only one of us is making money. I ain't in real time, man. I don't need you present. I don't need you, you know, when you do that, then you wind up with 50 niggas in here. They ain't got nothing to do with nothing. You wind up in other niggas shit because it's dead niggas, no dead niggas. And that niggas, I don't know, there ain't one of these niggas. I ain't never like none of that. So I always kept the environment closed. Like, you know, if we're in the studio, most times shit is just being the engineer or, you know, being the engineer and producer. Now, you know, I'm kind of, I'm trying to, work with others. Work with others. Yeah, definitely. That's how you got C.P. He better. And D, but that's what I'm saying. Like, now I'm trying to do, to do, like, I definitely was the bootlegger. You was the bootlegger? No, he was. Yeah, back when the CDs were jumping. I'm going crazy. Man, even then, but when CDs were jumping, I was boomin' CDs. I wasn't, my shit just won, nobody else's shit. I had learned how to take a n***a beat. Like, you leave, you leave one ball open, I'ma loop the shit out this shit. It's gonna be mine. So I'll make my whole tape off of your shit. You put a tape out, I got your tape too. It got the whole shit. I'm on every song you want. Then, you know, I had got clever enough with this shit. I started leaving people verses on it. So, you know, it's shit. So the camera, right, it's the camera on song. Oh, it's the camera off each one. I'm trippin' and shit. Nope. So when I see it now, I be seein' people do it now. I don't, you know, I don't really trip about it, I just be funny to them because I'm like, you know, okay, I come from, you know, it's more technology to do that shit now. Because I had to work to pull that shit off, boy. I ain't no, I ain't no, man, I met Lido. I was on a roll with, I was on a roll with, got it. And he stopped in Nashville and like I said, I don't want to see what you're making money. So I came up with what it was he was doing, but he was doing his job. I don't want to, like, you know, just be chillin' with you while you're doin' that. So, you know, we just tryin' to bounce out and go do other shit. And Lido called, Zed Zilla. He had a guy with him that wanted to buy a verse from Zed. So, you know, I'm just riding. I just don't want to be, you know, in the mix with this. I'm like, shit, that's perfect. I, you know, I get to meet Star. So he pulled up, you know, meet Star, Star, it was a house full of things too. Now, meet Star, meet his cousin. He's like family to me. He was ever shit. My wedding, my baby shower, all that kind of shit. But either way, you know, I meet Star. It's our first time meeting. I holla at him. You know, then I get out the way. So, you know, they can handle it. Right. And while I'm chillin', I'm in the living room and shit. They playin', I don't say, like college football. I don't think it was too serious with this. I play the game too. But that was far too serious. I don't know no players period. I don't watch sports. I can play it on the game. But other than that, you know, man, him niggas knew all kind of shit. They knew when the ball was, they knew far too much shit. Right. I'm just sittin' in the observant and his cousin come back down. He's like, you know, bruh on the holla shit. So, I go up there and he didn't talk to the nigga that was gettin' the verse from Zed and they gettin' the verse from me. And for me, that would, you know, that said something in itself because, you know, one, it complete stranger. And two, ain't no nigga gonna help you get some money. You know, that's fuckin' upside. That's unheard of. Right. So, when he did that, I'm like, you know, I appreciate that to the utmost. Right. Then we're on the road, so I can't, you know, I can't say I do it on the road. So, I mean, I needed that bridge. I, you know, I appreciated it. So, after that, I wanna say, I wanna say, like, shortly after that session, Star had turned some shit on and man, I dropped the verse and that one verse turned into, like, three or four most sessions after that. And each time, like, we never had no real plan to, like, do a step, brother's tape. The shit just was working. You know, it was organic. And, you know, we got four or five songs in a day. So, fuck it. Shit. Let it go for it. Why not? And at that moment, I was signed, I was signed in the scope with Cool and Dre. It was like, it was a joint venture. And in most cases, you know, in the music business, some of them, they signed it there. I had worked at where, you know, I was a, I ain't know enough, but still, I was a mutual partner in the shit. So I had to say, which also is the reason why the shit didn't work, because I get to say, no, you can't make me do it. And some of the shit I might've been unreasonable or unreasonable about, I couldn't tell you what, what I was unreasonable about, but I'm just a foreign person. Some shit I just can't do. And if I ain't gonna do it, I ain't gonna do it. Because I gotta, I would've had to explain to my kids now. They go, pull these videos up. Dad, why you like a goofball? Well, because somebody said I had to do that to get some money. Right. You know what I'm saying? You know, I couldn't sit with that. Either way, you know, the label Cool and Dre was so very against it. It was like, man, you know, this ain't a good look. We don't need to do it. They was, for whatever reasons they had, they never really gave reasons. But I'm one of them kind of people. Like I said, anyway, I ain't gonna do it if I don't want to do it. I'm gonna do it if I want to do it. So we did it. And then it hit. And then, you know, saying niggas, they was like, no, it's a bad look, man. It's a bad look. It was like, yeah, man, we was telling them, man, it was a great, this was the best idea. Man, we knew it was gonna be wonderful. And then, you know, right. But at that same time, what was happening, me and Star was getting to know each other. And just like, you know, we was filming. You know, in the studio, the same thing. You know, me and Star said, you know, we had conversations first. And then, you know, the music just fell into place. Like, you know, I don't know if we was filming or not when you was talking about the, we talking about the records when we tell stories together. Like a lot of times we don't, like, there's no real plan. Like I don't sit and say, you know, sometimes you can't plan and just gotta let that shit go how it goes. Yeah. Yeah, we just going. I mean, season Brutus, we, that was one of the beats we had played a million times. Sometimes, like the way I work, the beat might be hard and I'm like, you know, I might not feel it right now. You can play that shit two days later. It might be hard, play it two years from now. It might be the hard shit I have ever heard in my life. And it was one of them kind of beats. And this particular time I don't know if we had a conversation or what, but the way started the verse off, like, it could have, it could have not been the story the way it started the verse off. So when I heard I'm like, I like the direction. Let's, let's see where we go. And that's really how all our songs go. Whoever come up with something first, you go in and do your part and we don't know where it's going to go. It's all, you're going to go in and then I'm going to listen. Okay. I like that. When I add mine, it's going to change even if you had an idea where you was about to go. You're going to say something else. No. What I'm about to do going to give you new ideas, whatever direction you had changes, because I just went in there with another, you know, I added something to it. And man, that shit just, it just creates beautiful music. It's hard. And that's a formula like we don't, we don't fuck with it. You know, we ain't trying to reinvent the wheel. When we do, that's where each other on each other's tapes. You know, we feel free, you know, we email that shit, however, like I can drop the song off, but I'm passing to town and some shit. But when we doing stepbrothers shit, it's all in person. No, we ain't phoning nothing in. We're going to sit down no matter if we don't do one song or 12 songs tonight. No matter, we're going to do them shit in person right with each other. And we got the counter relationship where, where I know don't turn into fall out. Like we can play this record. I like this record. I got some for this record. You know, I really like this record. That's fine. We, I want him not going to finish this record right here because we on our time. I got enough respect for our situation. You know, it's vice versa. That's how we work. So I, I know we're going to put this record to the side and right. Let's do something, you know, until we get where we going and then sometimes we'll do that and what happened, you know, you turn around play that record again. Right. And then some, some spark then. And if it don't, then you know, it's a solo record. If it do, then shit, it did what it's supposed to do. But the fact that, you know, with a lot of, in a lot of spaces, man, if I say my own and I ain't really, I don't really fuck with that. You know, they're going to feel some kind of way down. You know, what, what are they trying to say? In real time, right. Clearly, if you don't understand what we're going with it and we never had, the intention to reach that understanding, it was already there from the beginning. Right. Exactly. I don't got to like everything you do. You don't got to like everything I do. That's, you know, as me and that shit just was already understood. And since it was already understood, it made the, the creative process flow. So, man, I don't even know how to explain that shit just happened. That's what I was going to ask you. Do you feel like the collaboration, like, like, speeded up your growth as an artist? Because you know, like as an artist, you know, you're going to go through it by yourself. And it's, it's going to take longer to develop. I think so. Because, because while I was being signed, I was getting out of a record deal. So we both was kind of, you know, living vicariously through each other. You know, I'm starting the situation. He getting out of a situation. I got the headaches of, you know, trying to figure the situation out. He got the headaches of trying to get out of the situation. You know, trying to get out of contract is the toughest shit in the world. Yes, it is. So, you know, while we both was going to do all that, on top of that, you know, I had children. So all that shit, collectively, I think that she kind of just, she just chose my path for me. When I started releasing studio albums, I said with my guys, and I'm like, man, I'm changing my whole shit. Before I, my first official album is Godspeed. Before I started on Godspeed, I had a record called, called, Lawyer. It's on one of the, I don't know what it is. Yeah. It's on, I don't know what tape is on. My, my shit ain't, my memory ain't shit. By the way, man, we was doing shows, we're doing shows in nightclubs. You know, everybody here got, the people with me, everybody's got guns. This gun's present. Like these kind of environments, and niggas is yelling out, do lawyer. I'm like, lawyer, do lawyer, do all the shit, do lawyer. I'm like, you know, hook ain't nothing bouncing in that. But people, like everywhere we was going, it makes sense to me. So I sat down, and you know, I had to, like, watch the video, and like, I'm trying to figure out how is it that this is the record. I appreciate it. But that, that's, that's what I got it from. I'm like, okay, I offer a honesty that most people, either one, ain't got the courage to admit, or two, just, you know, don't even really know. It's, it's just, you know, say trap nigga, trap nigga, all the shit, all the shit's on you hearing it, you know, like how it used to be when we was younger, we didn't see the radio personalities, we just heard them. So, you know, when I sat, and I watched the video, and, you know, I started connecting the dots. I'm like, you know, that's what it is. That's what's mine. All the other shit, and real time for me right then was just fillers. So I'm like, no, the shit they grabbed, the shit that last, the shit that, you know, people be talking like right now, this is fucking, 14 years later, and people talking about, lawyer, you know, you talking about letting it to my son, that shit, 14 years old. That's one of the, they don't never get dated though. But that's what I'm saying, but it don't, because it's the truth. Right. And, you know, even though, when we go and do shit, it feel like you're going through shit by yourself. You are, in that sense, but, nothing shit new under the sun, I'm going through some shit you probably already been through. And vice versa, you probably going through some shit I already been through. And I just happen to be the guy that don't mind saying it. And I don't care, you know, I don't care how it come out. You can listen and say, oh man, that was crazy you did that. Some of that shit is crazy. Some of that shit was stupid. Some of that shit was the smartest shit I ever done. But I'm going to give you all that shit, because I've done it. It is what it is. It was like from the beginning to the end. And it was like, I wanted your son to hear that. Yeah, I knew it. I was like, when he hear this, he don't hear daddy love him. And then, you know, he got old enough to hear it. And, when I recorded it, that's how I was thinking. When he hear this, he gonna know, you know, I fall too for nail. And then, what I wasn't prepared for, like I was saying earlier, you know, you can't, this shit, you can't really plan for it. What I wasn't prepared for is for him to feel, he felt kind of, you know, he didn't really know how to feel about it. It was great that his daddy stood, you know, stood tall for him, but at the same token, this person that your daddy don't care for, it's my mama. I love this woman. And he called her a bitch, 672 times. So, you know, it was a divide, you know, he, you know, he proud of it and disgusted by it at the same time. So I had to sit and have a real conversation. And, you know, I learned something from that. I learned, one, I learned, you know, if I'm going to, if what I have to say is going to be derogatory, then I can do it without slender. I don't got to call you out your name. That was the biggest thing for him. It wasn't, but that part of it was excessive. Right. That was, you know, that was me being disrespectful. And, you know, I learned, he taught me something. So from that, you know, I had to like sit down have a, you know, a man to man with a preteen. And, you know, that put the song in a different light to me. Cause I'm like, you know, I ain't look at it like that. I was angry. And, you know, so when he did, like I said, that showed me something. And that was one of the moments where, you know, I could be a proud father cause and I try to teach my kids to be vocal. You know, if it bothered you, you got to see it. You know, if your feelings hurt, I ain't no way I'm going to know. I can't feel your feelings. And I grew up in a house where if your feelings hurt, you're a pussy. You're a bitch. You're a wimp. So, you know, I wanted to make sure that that was one of them things I didn't carry on. Like, you know, they're kids and for the most part, you make, you know, the best decisions for them. But in real time, they're still people. You know, I learned all that from a song there, you know, a song that potentially got me, you know, in the spotlight. And she still be sure. No, we got the best relationship in the world now. That's enough. That's enough. Shit. Right. Nothing. Nothing? Yeah, it was a long road. But, you know, like now, that's the record I don't perform. I don't, you know, I don't ride around listening to. I don't much do, you know, I don't much talk about interviews. Out of the respect for him. Because, you know, in real time, I made a record that spoke for me in the, you know, in the situation that I was in. But I could never see it from his point of view. And now that I know about it, then, you know, I try not to, he understand that, you know, this is my livelihood. And it is what it is, is there, I can't erase it. You know, it's shit, it's scratched and stoned now. So you understand that, I just do what I, I, I just make sure that I don't revert and rub. Right. I ain't trying to rub that in. It is what it is, it's done, you know, like if I stepped again, you know, I stepped on your foot, yeah, I done it, where, you know, when it comes to that record, but those are the records that, you know, they got me. Right. You know, at some point I had to sit down and see what worked and what don't work. And, in the music business, everybody's got a gimmick. And I ain't got no gimmick. I don't, you know, I don't know how to do all that funny shit. And from there, you know, I'm sitting, I'm trying to figure it out and that's when it snapped. Like my gimmick is that I can rap. Rap itself is already a gimmick. Like I did, I said, let me show you what I can do and shit, that shit works. Shit, OG. Well, I know you got some new album and you're dropping new shit every, every. I don't got no new music. Dad asked, listen, January 1st, 2023, we sat in the studio. I said, man, I ain't, again, like I said, I used to spend time trying to make it perfect. All right. Back when, when Rapples was putting out one album a year, they probably could have worked, but they don't do that no more. The internet is eating up fucking 72 songs every time you look up. Like right now, something they're putting out 20 songs. In 10 minutes, somebody else is going to put out 20 more. Right. So I'm like, man, you know, we're doing all this, you know, I don't, I don't focus on like streaming numbers and shit. See. Right. I'm doing that, I'm just letting you know. Me boss, you know, I, you know, fuck with the bass, but I can't see good enough for that. I got hit in the face with that motherfucker. I can't see a little ass ball. I went back there somewhere. No. You think it's your son? It's your son. I ain't seen a damn thing. But no, dude, you did right. Right. Well, you know, man, I was sitting and I will, we, you know, we start on a tape. And the way I used to record, I used to record at minimum 30 songs. And then pick 15 out of the 30 songs. I felt like if I had 15 songs that I loved, that I had to push, push aside, then I got a quality project. And then, like I said, nigga, music was coming from everywhere at all times. And I'm like, man, don't really make much sense for me to be sitting and waiting. I'm trying to craft this perfect project. I ain't on a fucking label. I get to do what I want to do. So I'm like, fuck it, let me do what I want to do. And what happens when you, you know, record so much music, put a tape out in September, and by January, that everything that didn't make it, that shit old to me. It's brand new to you. But it's all the shit to me. I don't feel it. Like, it's almost, I'm almost self-conscious. I don't want to release this to feel dated, even if it's not dated in real time. So, you know, this January we sat down like, man, fuck that. I ain't, no, I got, you know, archive shit. I'm like, no, I'm going to record. And it, but whenever it's time to do, like, we got to turn something in, whatever we got, that's when we turn in. Man, I sat with a distributor and they liked the idea. So, I was like, fuck it, we're going to run it. And I ain't, I ain't got no, I ain't got no set plan, no set goal. We're going to go in and whatever come out, come out. I used to, excuse me, I used to sit down and like, I had the, the rapper rule book in my head. Like, you know, it used to be, you got to have a eight bar hook or 16 bar verse, three 16 bar verses. You know, this song can't just come right in if the last song just came right in. You know, you can't put more than three features on your shit, that kind of shit. And then I realized I'm on nigga following these rules. I'm on, I'm on nigga, even, no, these rules don't even exist to, because I, like I used to, I still fuck with Jay-Z, just the newest shit. The newest shit don't resonate from me. I don't know about like all the pains and shit. I ain't got the slides I did where he be talking about now. But when he, when I did know what he was talking about, Jay-Z was like one of the main people I was listening to. So fast forward, we get to whatever tape there was and he did that Beaches Beltle song. I was appalled. Beaches Beltle's like fucking 50 something seconds. So I'm like, wait, the nigga that taught me how to do it just did a 50 second song. What the, what is this? Right. So after I, you know, because I don't know this nigga, so he don't owe me no explanation. I'm like, man, I'm following rules that nobody's following. The niggas that taught me these rules don't follow these rules. So I'm like, man, don't make no sense for me to go in here. And again, I'm trying to perfect this shit. I'm trying to make it be like the greatest shit you ever heard. 300 bars. Right. I'm doing all this extra shit. Three, four verses. You know what I'm saying? We gonna do all that shit and listen, I learned my lesson. We do all that shit. We play the song while we're on the road. And after my fucking first verse, nigga went to the next song. Nigga, now I'm gonna say that I said on the second and third verse and you just skipped to the next song. Right. Ain't your fault though. You just listening. You know, especially if you the driver, if you the driver, you just gotta, you gotta vibe. And we gotta let the driver play what he gonna play. So after that, I'm like, man, I'm making these long gas records for who, for myself. I ain't getting this to make the music for myself. If I was gonna do that, I could just play the shit to myself. So after that, I said, fuck the rules. I'm just gonna go in this bitch. And whatever comes out comes out. Like, you can listen to some of the shit I dropped this year. Man, you gonna hear my, I got a eight month old son. You gonna hear him in the background. You gonna hear the fucking, one of the records I was recording, I ain't even realizing till I was finished. But the baby mother's beeping because it's the battery low. I ain't plug it in. I'm gonna give a shit. That's just there. That's my real life in real time. I listened to my boy Gucci Man. Gucci Man got a son. He said, Moli, Moli, Moli, Moli, Moli, Moli, Moli, Moli. Back row. Nobody know what he say, but they know he say back row. I'm like, man, if you can, you know, this the vibe. They fuck with the vibe. All right. That mean, you know, I'm doing a little too much. I'm trying to make this shit perfect. I ain't no need to do that. Man, you know, the shit that we end up liking be the shit that's not perfect because it's not perfect. So I sat down and said, fuck it. So right now, I don't got, I got one song right now. And, you know, I ain't in no hurry with this shit. Come when they come. I might get in the studio tonight. I might not, you know, I might get another mall. I might not. If it happened to happen, if it don't, they don't. And shit, I done eight tapes so far. So, you know, it's the right. Let's go do it. Let's go do it. Let's go do it. Well, you know, I think that's the, that's the hidden fruit of my label. Like, you know, I don't, that's something people can't really see. And I ain't a flashy person. So, you know, I don't wear my successes on me. And since I don't, like, you know, for a long time, people thought I fell off. They thought I was gone, you know, whatever they thought. And a lot of the times it's cause I don't like, I ain't like, no barbershop advocate. I ain't, you know, I, man, I be feeling like you spend too much time doing all that shit. You know, you care a little too much about it. And you know, without saying too much, I think you care a little too much about it. So I'm like, no, I ain't doing none of that. I'm going to go to the barber when I go. Man, my son goes like, every two weeks. So when I go to the barber, I build hard shit. Cause, you know, my, I don't, Right. But either way, I don't know when and when. Right. You know, it's taking care of, but I'm just saying, you know, when I go, I don't know when and last, like right now I don't know when and last I went. That shit not important to me. I got my, my club is in the cup. You need to know, you know, we're two thousand nothing. Right.
