And, you know, sometimes, you know, when you've been in the city so long and you've been listening to the sounds of the city, man, sometimes things hit your ears that you just got to, you know, stop and take and pay attention to, man. Check it, man. Hey, cool is in the building. Yo, what's up? What's up? How you doing? I'm good. You like that intro? I do, I love it. I had a hell of an intro, didn't I? You hit it on your way. You thought I was Steve Harvey, one of the niggas, Rick and Smiley Jr. on this thing? No, you hit it on point. Yeah, it's just good to have your energy in here, man. Thank you so much for coming, man, and sharing our platform. You know what I'm saying? Thank you for having me. Man, so we're going to get into it a little bit, so, you know, cool, how did it, cool. I mean, cool. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. How did, so let's talk about South Dallas, okay? South Dallas, right. Coming up from South, man. And I mean, you know, being a female artist, they just don't call them female no more. What do you call them now? Female. Okay, cool. I don't want no problem. You niggas change all the time, you know what I'm saying? So being a female artist from South Dallas, man, how did you, how did you even start to even deal with music? So my start with dealing with music started really as a kid. Okay. I grew up out for UGK, about MJG. Stop the press! What? UGK, she just said it, hey, that's the word. That's the word. Oh, okay. You ain't in the building for a reason. Hey, listen, man, we in Texas, man. Yes. She said, cool was with it. She said, UGK, eight ball. Keep going. Yeah. A pock boned thugs. Like, glad it's nice. Steve Harvey, Stevie Wonder, all of that real good music, that's what I came up off of. Man. So just coming from where I came from, that music was like my escape from, you know, my environment. So was your mom a dad in the music or something? How did you end up getting in the music? My brother, my oldest brother. Your oldest brother. I knew it had to be something. You know what I'm saying? He was the one that I always wanted to mimic and be like, so pock was his person and that became my person. I dove into his music and poetry and it was just a wrap from there. Wow. Two pock. What do you think about that, baby? Two pock. I love me too, pock. I know it, man. What you like to steal down for me? You know what I'm saying? What you like? What you like? I get around. What you like? What's your thing? What's your thing? What's your thing? So. Lord knows. No. I smoke a blunt to take the pain out. And if it wasn't how, I'd probably try to blow my brains out. Thug mansion, for sure. Get away, thug mansion. That was it. Okay, thug mansion. I get it. I tried to give her mine. She didn't take it. Yeah, you try to impose that. Ever since I met this young lady, man, it's been a blast, man. Thank you so much for your energy. No, thank you. I appreciate it, man. I love to smile. I love to have a good time. Thank you. And you've been on point with it ever since I called you. I didn't scare you or nothing. I don't know you could. I don't run folks up. But I just know you were thugging it. We picked the same weather. She found a south. She found out that she used to niggas coming at a hard core. I am the nigga that come hard core. I knew you were going to say that. You know what I'm talking about. So how many brothers did you have? I was raised with three of my brothers. Three brothers. Was you the only girl? I was. Man, thuggy. The baby girl. Oh, them niggas tell them. Niggas don't come over here with that madness. I ain't talking to her. I was shouting in the muck because of them. I was. You were happy when they growed and gold. Yeah, but it may sense though. Gold. I'm from Texas niggas. They growed and gold. They went. Okay. So when they left you was there by yourself or did they ever leave? No, they left. They left. But I didn't really like, even when they was gone I was still, they had people watching me. Damn. Yeah, it was like that. It wasn't until I went off to college where I was like able to. Why did you go to college at? I went to Kremlin. But. That party thing was serious down there. I heard a story about Kremlin. Man, keep your story. No. The woman say her daughter say, now mama we doing good down in school. She said in that grandma, she had butt dollar grandma and it was, she heard all type of noise down there. I don't know. I don't know about that. You a good girl down there? No. Find the party scene. That's what grandma heard. Man, when I went out there, that's when I like turned up because I was still sheltered. You was like, I'm gonna have a damn good time. I mean, I still was, I still was like, I was still in my lane. Like I didn't just go crazy, crazy, but you know, I was. What was your major? Um, education. Oh, so you want to be a teacher. No, I did. Shout out to all the education. Hey, hi everybody. Story down. My daughter went, I want to be, she said, I want to be a surgical tech. I mean. How about this daughter? Granted, through my music, I am still teaching. Oh, really? Okay. Exactly. Exactly. You know, you ain't no damn real teacher though. The real teacher out there getting to it. The kid, then it's our photographer and videographer is a real teacher. He teaches at the high school. Oh, well great. My best friend is a teacher. Shout out to Jess. Shout out to the one who did it for real instead of pump faking around this thing. No, but you know who got the most influence. I mean, you're a brother of fresh air. I did, though. Go ahead. I know she was white. So how old were you when you really thought about rapping? So when I entertained the actual thought of taking the series, honestly, when I was like 19, 20. Oh, okay. But it took a while because I was so like, I was the shy, quiet girl coming up. I always wrote poetry and stuff. So just actually rapping in front of people. It wasn't until I was like, yeah, about 20 years old. Okay. So before that you were actually like rapping to yourself? Yeah. Well, my friends and my peers, I was always freestyling with my peers. Like they will always look for it. Oh, man. Crystal, drop a rap, drop a rap or drop a freestyle. That was always something people look forward to me doing anytime we gather. It don't matter if we were at a restaurant, at a teenage club, skating party. They always want me to freestyle a rap like after the fact. How old were you when you started doing that? I was in eighth grade. So what took you so long to build a courage up? To be honest, because I was so close then, like I just allowed people's expectations of who I was supposed to be like, keep me boxed in. So like since I was the quiet, shy girl, I had the three brothers. Like I had this expectation to like be a certain way. And I actually felt prey to that. But it wasn't until, even though at 20 is when I thought to take it serious, it wasn't until two years ago when I was 28, when I actually stepped out and did it. And that was because of my son. When I had my son, I always, when he got to sleep, even though he wasn't old enough to talk, I always like pray over him and be like, you can do anything you want to do. And one night I was convicted and I was like, I'm not doing what I want to do. I love rapping. This is my it, you know what I mean? And so it was like, I had a pivotal moment when I was putting him to sleep. And I was like, man, forgive what people think. Like I'm going to do this. And that's how it. And it's something that you knew this. And you got convicted. And I've done that too. So I understand, girl, you was trying to pray me in. Yeah. And God called you and said, wait a minute, you ain't got yours together. Exactly. Now let's get you straight. Trying to get that plank. Now let's get you straight as well. You know what I mean? And that's the way, that's the kind of God we serve. That he, you know, it's a double edged sword. Words is something else too, ain't it? You speaking them, you speaking life into your child and also spoke your vision into you. That's it. Rebirth myself in the moment. That's beautiful, man. So after that, did you, that's when you, you went to, had you been to the studio before? Yeah. My first, so my first time being in the studio, I was 14. My cousin took me. Wow, that's hot. That's hot. So you can sing too? What? No. She said what? No. Yeah. We couldn't sing in this thing. She couldn't sing in this thing. No. That was quick. I just wanted to be honest with y'all. But you did go in there to sing? I sang. Yeah, I sang. At 14? Ain't no way, but I read the Franklin. It was 14? That was 14. And how did it come out? Because you said you can't sing. So how did that? That was them. So I'm gonna speech y'all up. So I went to the studio. You sucked at that James studio, didn't you? That's why you didn't do it too. You was just older. You like, damn. You keep on messing with me. I got something for you when we turned the camera down. No, you was in that whole like, damn. I did it because I did the same thing. After that, me and I never go back. I'm like, hell no, I guess I can't do it. No, it really wasn't. I came up in church, so I got that in my vocals. Okay, well, let us hear it then. You know what's first? I can't do it. That's what I thought. Yeah, you got that. Okay. Yeah, don't play with these. Mike, these sure is gonna pick up everything too. I hear it. Be very careful. They're gonna be on you. No, I think, you know, the thing I could say about you, you know, is as I listen to what I listen to and the way that you come across, man, you seem like a seasoned vet, but you say you knew to the game, and I understand why now when we were talking, you know, off from behind the cameras, but you know, that's the way it is, man. And I believe the internet has made it even better for people to be seen, people to be noticed. And I'm gonna tell you something else that's quite interesting. You know, everybody that basically rapping, does music and these does visuals, does photos. The one thing that the social media platforms have done, it exposes you. It tells you who you are. So whoever you are, it points at you and say, you know what, that's who you are. And some people that's fake, they make fake pages. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And then they may even get the numbers up. They still fake. You can, you got people like that in this world that are fake. But they was fake before social media. Right. You know, they lived a fake life. It's just highlights. Correct, correct. So it just basically amplifies. Right. Okay, this person fake, now they fake online. Right. This person real now. Hey, you see they got real things going on. Right. So, but it also gives you a way to where you can look peeking at everyone's business. And it tells you, hey, cool is this. Right. Is cool on TikTok? We don't know. Is cool on Facebook? She said Facebook. Oh, I won't mess with that. And then, but all I'm saying is people are everywhere. So utilize all these platforms, Twitter as well. I got to ask, why the name cool? Cool. Right. Okay. Cool. Because it just, because every time I say this, feel like something's missing. Right. Like it's cool something or something cool. It's like, it's cool. So, let me see which direction I'm going to take y'all. So my childhood nickname is Kool-Aid. And having a big smile. So some people, like very few people, but some people call me cool or cooly for sure or whatever like that. But my name, before cool, it was Crystal X because my real name is Crystal. And cool to be honest, it's a word that people use in everyday language. However, you male, male, female, it's only four letters versus the seven letters I had, well, the eight letters I had, I think into the future. If it comes to merchandising things, I want to have four letters or cheaper to print or stitch than eight letters. And it's just something that's, in my opinion, like I said, it could easily become a household name because it's a word that people use everyday. So I'm going to be in your, whether you know it or not, like I'm going to be in your vocabulary, like quick and easy. Kool-Aid, you can presuppose. It's just, like you said, you feel like it's something missing, but there's a mistake there. So who is cool? Cool what? Click on it to figure out. You know what I'm saying? So it's like no matter. And then I'm a very layback person. I see. Like I'm very like cool. I see. Even like a Miss Cool or DJ, no, not DJ. Yeah. Like a MC Cool or something. No, no, no. We cool. We cool. We cool. We cool. Like I said, I like it. You know, the thing I look at is the way you market yourself. If you put it out there and you put the power behind it, you know, the name going to stick, but the art got to be there at a point, you know, the talent got to be there. You know, Plyes, you know, but we, we seen Plyes and Plyes came in and he was telling you about Crackers Bam and Niggles. And then he translated over and he was a boogie time where he started jamming out with people like G's and different people in the industry. But when he first came in, that started with T-Pain. But then he evolved and then he became, he became this other character for the platforms on internet. I used to get his name wrong for a long time. Because I would call him Plyes. No. Until I saw the name, I was like, oh, it's Plyes. But what I was saying is basically he's, he's evolved with time and he's, he's, he's done things that a lot of artists wasn't able to do. And that's, he found his niche and showing his artistic flow in the platforms of social media the way others have never been able to captivate it. If you have tried and fell off and he did it. And even if he don't do it no more, he had a run, a hell of a run. He definitely didn't even know he had that comedic side to him and just like, yes, I know him more from that. Me too. Than, than the music. I know him from the music because I'm older cat. I mean, I know him from the music but I'm saying as far as what will stick with me is what he's imprinted like currently because it's so consistent. I don't know. That shorty period was a bad boy for me. It was. Cause he was out there with a little shirt off with that little same little bird chest. Yeah, nigga, I'm talking to you. And you was out there. You had your little pants sagging. Yeah, nigga. Yeah, that's me, nigga. Cause I, cause I stand behind it. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day he was cold. I've been his, I've been a fan, a supporter of Plyes ever since he came out. Like I love his music. I love his style. I love the way it feels. So it feel like I'm in the projects when I was listening to him back in the day. Comedian with his comedy. And not just comedy, the things that he said that was real. Yeah. He did that every single day. Yeah. All the time. So every time when you woke up you, you got an alert. No, you talking about on the, on the little post. Yeah. Compared to, yes, his music, it plays, you know, you hear it there or you, or you go by it and you listen to it. But when something you see in every single day and you're looking for it, that's why that sticks with a lot more people today than, you know, he's in the conversation. So that's, that means that he, he working. You know what I mean? Shout out to the nigga to be working. He's still in the conversation. I think he probably started doing that just to keep relevant. No, I think he did too. In between, in between. You know, it's a marketing strategy. I mean, that's why we brought it up. It's something you have to do. I feel like a lot more artists need to be tuning into their artistic flow because the social media is free. So if you're not, if you're not getting, I tell people all the time, just like your friend here came and, you know, he's taking some pictures and stuff, content over create. You got to have content built up so that you can use it because people are sitting at home more than anything now. And, and, and, you know, soon as they wake up, they pick up their phone. You know what I mean? They pick up their phone or, or they go and they start scrolling and looking at different things that happened that they didn't make it to the club that night. So they say, let me check and see what happened with Susan M. And they knows it. People knows as hell, just scrolling. You know what I'm saying? But people want to make it feel like they know you without knowing you. Right. They want to know everything. They can tell you, oh, yeah, she always goes over here and she talks to this person and she always does this or they feel like they know you. And that's, that's the main thing. People want to know you as a person and they'll just always you as an artist. Well, I've seen your boy like have paint. I know his birthday will last night. I sent him a picture and me and him chopped up. I believe it came in at 12. You used to, you want to know these niggas birthday came in at 12 for social media and he was just here. So I sent him a picture and all that stuff like that. Like you would never interact with people like that if it wasn't for the social media wave. So with that being said, it's a powerful tool and just how are you dealing with it? I mean monetizing YouTube, all those different things. How are you moving in that realm? So to be honest with you, be honest with me. Don't be honest with 100%. So that's the, that's, that's what I'm moving into. Like I told you before, I am a rookie. Like in the industry. So just what I, how I even got to your page. Um, I saw interaction with, um, I saw the interview with Darrell. So somebody, somebody, Darrell, yeah. So somebody tagged me on his page and I just what I do is when I see the blue checks, I go look in the comments and look for the people with no blue checks for the smaller following. And I just shoot my music in an inbox. Anybody who I see interact. I liked it. And so you just have a better shot at getting your music heard. Like I don't, it's not even so much about the name dropping in like, oh, this person saw it. It's just about it being seen, it being heard. Like I know that I got the talent. I know I got it. So it's just like, it's just, it needs to be heard by the right people. And so what I use for, um, I like that. I use for social media. I just try to go where people already are in the inboxes. I don't care if you got three followers, two followers. Like you need to hear what I got to say. As far as YouTube, I just dropped the video and I didn't put it. Um, like I was telling you earlier, I didn't put it through. I didn't put the video through, um, Facebook or Instagram. I just put it straight on YouTube and I just tell people to go to my link. So all of the views are going straight to YouTube. Eventually I've, um, I became in somebody's recommended, um, views. So like my video popped up in somebody's recommended. I'm, I'm just starting out, you know, I got like almost 900 views in one week versus all my other videos. It took a year to get a thousand views because I was putting it through the platforms first. So I just kind of reverse that formula, just taking people to my channel so I can get that algorithm with YouTube because their audience is broader than Instagram or Facebook. So that's one minor approach that I have to just give people faces. I like it. Because, um, I don't know, like showing up in people's recommended that counts because I've, I've seen, that's, I've gotten on plenty of artists because of the things that pop up. Yeah, the hustle is real. Like for you to even, for you to even discover that it means that you're trying. Yeah. You know what I mean? It means that you're grinding. You're trying to figure it out. That's the whole game. Just don't ever stop trying to figure it out. Oh yeah, I'll take some. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Don't ever stop trying to figure it out. You know what I'm saying? So, um, you, um, how do your mom feel about this music stuff? My mom knew I was going to do something dealing with the stage when I was young. Like I was always, as she said. I've seen that picture when you like a little baby. Yeah. What you thought? That's when you were trying to get that Aretha Franklin again. Well, no, that's when I, I don't remember like that moment, but my mom told me like we were, that was the first time I had her Stevie Wonder. And I had wanted to like mimic him. And, um, that my cousin Leonard, rest in peace. He, um, we were at his brother's studio. Okay. And so that's, I've always dealt with, like even as shy as people think I am, or as quiet as I am, like in person, naturally, when it comes to performance, all that goes out the window. Like I just become a whole different person. No, ain't nothing wrong with that. I mean, that's the whole game. Like, um, leave it all on the stage. You know, to every time, I always tell people when you enter a room, you got to be prepared on how you enter the room and stand on that stage. That's just communicating with people, being able to blend in, being a chameleon in the midst when you need to be being vocal and active and being seen when you need to be, knowing how to articulate and knowing how to move around the different situations that you may encounter. Right. You know what I'm saying? I think that's important. So, um, what, um, what do you think, what's going on with you and cool? Do you think cool is cool? Is her name sound? Uh, we'll find out in a minute, but she seemed very cool so far. She real laid back, laid back, kicking and joining the ride on Boss Talk 101. Yes. So you talked about your son. Do you have other children? No, I just have one child. How old is he? He's five. Man, running the house. Shout out to that little dude to be running the house when cool, come on. My love. He knows all my songs. Oh, yeah? Like he, because he's always in the studio with me at video shoots. That's good. When I'm getting my makeup done, hair done, like he is always with me. That's beautiful. He might want to do that. He might want to, do you think he might want to do the music? He actually, um, he actually tries to freestyle. Oh. Yeah. Shout out to that freestyle and five-year-old. It's so funny, y'all. Cool. Y'all can call yourself cool in the game. You know what I'm talking about? It can go down just like that. Y'all can become something totally different. We got a whole dang, uh, situation going on. Listen, you got it, but... Yes. I love that dynamic. Let's get back to it. What's that? Uh, your daughter, uh... Oh, my son will be here Sunday. She's gonna take off. He's 13. My whole family. Yeah, my other son just left. My older son. He's 27. He just left. I told him he was coming. He said, whatever. I gotta go. It ain't a little run-and-have pain, uh, uh, one of them doll here. I got you. I got you. I already know how you coming. I ain't studying you. He's like, oh, who is she? I said, oh, it's just cool. Oh, cool. I'm going. I said, oh, no. But I'm gonna tell you something though, the nigga missed out because I'm glad I'm here. You know what I'm saying? And no, he have to work. He work for General Motors. Shout out to Trey, who had a nice day and left me while ago. But it's all good. Man, so, um, get him back to it. You, um, so you, you, you say, I'm going to wrap. I'm going to get serious about it. All right. And so, so who would you like to work with if you had had every, you could, but anybody, if you could rock out with any person, if you felt like, okay, I seen this person, I like her vibe or I like his vibe. Who would that person be? So I got to pick one person. Yeah. Mmm. My top pick to work with now, currently in this moment will be big crit. That can happen. Big crit just in Mississippi, nigga. Yeah. Yeah. We going to get that boy. Yeah. Why him? Man, he speak to my soul. Like his music. Like I got introduced to him when I was, um, I want to say maybe 2021. And, um, he for, for starters, he's down for the calls. Like he, he, he, he for a lot of people to come on here and talk good about big crit crit is the truth. And then like he, he just has substance. He has music that I personally feel like it's timeless. Like, um, he's had music that has gotten me mentally out of some situations. He just put me in a better space. Like, um, any, I feel like any artist that like you said, people want to get to know you. And I feel like, um, his music is so transparent. You know, people can put on the facade and be who they want to be. But I peep like authenticity. That's something. He's heavily influenced by Pimp C. And who cannot go wrong? Who? Oh yeah. I forgot you. Say it again. Look, shout of dreams. That's my stuff. Say it again. Who is influenced by Pimp C? And why is that important? Man, why isn't it? Why wouldn't it be important? Why wouldn't it be important? Come on. Talk to me. Talk to me. Tell me why. What did you, what did you, why do you think he was influenced by Pimp C? Let's talk about that. Man, first start. So everything about. Pimp C. Like, I'll speak for myself first why I feel like the crew was influenced by Pimp C is because Pimp C represented the underdog. People wasn't trying to take him serious at first. And he proved himself to me. Like, you know, the south, they weren't taking the south serious and he's the one. How many times have you heard this story from your husband? I have grew up here because I know they weren't taking the south serious. And they started talking about Pimp C. Oh, they weren't taking the south serious. And they still don't to this day in some parts, some areas. Keep on talking about it. I'm listening. I mean. Go ahead and go ahead and let it be known. He just, he just, he spoke, he said stuff people were scared to say. And he stood on that. You know what I'm saying? Seriously. Like seriously. And. I don't, I personally feel like it don't get no realer than that. Pimp C was beyond a rapper. He was his artistry and he transcended like so many different. He's hard to explain. I couldn't. Yeah. Like he's Leo was here. Shout out to he's Leo. He just left. Yeah. I came that and I hate he gone and don't we hate it? But it's OK. We still got, we still got the music. You know what I'm saying? And so we do have something like some of our loved ones pass on and we have nothing left. But he had a come on, man. Go get that. Yeah. Go get that pocket full of stone. Tell me something good. Yeah. Go get that. You know what I'm saying? He left a legacy behind. Oh yeah. You can you can go get that. Oh man. Him and Master P had some bangles together too. That kick though. I just had KL on here. He, you know, made that be KLC. The one with Beast by the pound. He just was on here. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out KLC, man. It was going to be by the pound documentary coming. It's about it. But yeah. So the thing I could say, man, top three artists all time. The thing I could ask you. Top three artists of all time, dead or alive. Tupac. That's number one. Lauren Hill. Lauren Hill. She went hard. She could sing and rap. You gave me three. That's all you get. Three. The last one. Any genre. Dead or alive. You put me in a tight spot. Give me five. No. We never gave nobody five. It's the top three artists all the time. One of my phone ads. He said Nipsey Hustler. Nipsey Hustler. Man, you know, shout out to Nipsey. I tell this story every time. I met Nipsey at the Palms Hotel. Me and Nipsey were just sitting there chilling and I told him, you're going to have to work hard on my brother. I was like, you know, you got to come on with it. And he was, he just, he said, are you going to see? Are you? I never forget it. And after that, I took my wife to Slauson a lot of times. He started building the stores up and I love black on businesses. So we always frequent them wherever we're at. If it's in Chicago, if it's in right, they're right. But anyway, even in Jamaica, wherever we had, we just go straight to the little old stores and show support. Yeah. We have a little store. So when I went to Slauson, I was thinking about the stores I had created in the Texas vibe. So I will go by there and shout out to Gary down in Miami. Remember Gary? Shout out to Gary. Yeah. Purple carpet. Shout out. Yeah. Yeah. Certain ones that stick out. In New York, Rhode Island. Shout out to June Bull. What up, baby? So, you know, it's like, it's a family. We're a family. You know what I'm saying? We all respect each other for the grind, man. And try to do that in Atlanta. Huh? We're the original Wall Street. Check it out, man. Boss talk 101. We in the building, baby. The original Wall Street. She said it. I heard it. So just tell us a little bit more about the music. I mean, let me get my phone. Tell us a little bit more about the vibe. How do you do you freestyle? Do you freestyle in the end? When you go in? Do you? What do you do? So my process in creating the record, it would be the beats, of course they tell me what to say. They talk to me. And I'll freestyle in a car. And now I record myself freestyling. And I'll just kind of like take from that. Like whatever thought process whatever thought process I have, I'll go from there. Or sometimes I'll be in poetry mode. And I just go straight in writing. And then I'll start writing poetry before I start rapping. So if I hear a beat that just resonates with me, I'll just literally go in and write. And a lot of times my songs take me days. Really? What was the process of what? Table turn? What was the process? Yeah, let's talk about it. Woo. So I wrote that song. I was very upset at a particular circumstance. Okay. And I was like, you know what? Instead of making a Facebook post or making some sad meme, sharing some sad meme, I was like, I'm going to monetize this hurt. And I put it in a song. Like, the table's going to turn. Like somebody, you know... Yeah, nigga, you did it to me, but it's going to come back at you, nigga. And guess what? My hands going to be clean. It's just going to be. Yeah, you read what you saw, nigga. You know what you're doing? The table's going to turn on you. Shout out to the nigga who the table's going to turn on. Because we know what she talking to. It's somebody. Yeah. You get it like that. Yeah. Somebody got yourself in a little trouble. We don't do voodoo either, nigga. No. We don't do that. And then at the same time, like, I had lost my grandmother in the same breath. And so that was just like, you know what? I'm going to put everything I'm feeling into this song. And instead in table's turned, it don't necessarily have to be a negative connotation of like getting somebody back. It's like, you know what? This prison situation has the potential with my perception changing turning around. Like it don't have to be like this. And so that's another side to it. That my... Yeah. I get it. Yeah. You're Grand T. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just something else to have to go through what a lot of times we feel we have to go through in the flesh. But our spirit is truly willing. You know what I mean? Yes. We'll be all right. So, Brenda, you see yourself in the next two years. In the next two years, I see myself with a much larger body of work. Boom. For sure. Boom. And just all the names that you named that came through here. Like those will be my peers very soon. Yeah. Why? No doubt. Oh, I mean, I got Not even just the names. You know what I'm saying?

We're going to flex a little bit. You know what I'm talking about? Listen, man, cool for the bless the mic. You know what I'm saying? And we might have to get it. It may, it may catch on fire.

You know, so we just, you know, we watch what's going on in the big show, man, that we get the people on there. I'm glad we linked up. To be honest with you. Yeah, yeah, you know, we got a lot of work to do. Dallas needed a platform. Hey, we here. Right. You know what I'm saying? Making sure you get hit. The way you supposed to by that camera. Let's go. So check it, man. Whoa, don't run that part. Don't run that part. That's my part. You don't talk about, let me do this. You just chill. Okay. Don't even try. So check it, man. Hey, man, we here with cool, man. It's going down, man. Man, let me check it. Let's see. Let's see. This, this to be, we decide. Hold on. Let me get these. Can you hear? Can you hear? I need to turn that up a little bit. Okay. Let's see what. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Just a minute. Let me bring that back. You know what I'm saying? Cool in the building. Cool is on boss talk 101, y'all. Y'all gonna have to fill us, man. Oh, yeah. Check it, man. Cool is in the building, man. Ain't no sense in y'all. Hey, you ain't got to wait no more, baby. All right.

I don't know what I hate to say, bitch. I'ma be like this until I turn gray, bitch. I ain't my dog. I ain't my beast. I beat the Izoo numbers, put that shit on repeat. I be smelling, but I don't fucking play. Turnin' in the sun. That be the play. I ain't put it on my neck now. Ain't no fucking brain. But lookin' at my watch ain't got no time to waste. Check it, y'all. Check it, dawg. Wait a minute, dawg. Say, man, she woulda went. She could go all night. That's from the dawg. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, I eat. She ready. I eat. And what I do, I eat. So do you like just, I mean, do you love it? That's what you love. I can't. If I listen, if I couldn't do it, I wouldn't even feel like I'm livin'. To be honest. Like, this is my... You'll die for it. I'll die for my son. You love it, dawg, right? Like, you love it. You love the music. I feel... How does it make you feel like, like, when you, when you spend rhymes and when you're doing your thing? I just feel like, it might sound cliche, but I feel free. It's like an escape. Really? Like, I can finally the stuff that I would normally say to somebody or the... Even emotions, facial expressions, like, I've been keeping it so, like... Oh, you 100. I see you. You was in the music. She's in it. It just... Yeah, it's... It's nice. It's real. So do you think that, okay, you know, how are we gonna make this happen? We just gonna work? Yeah, but you know what? My thought process isn't even how it's when. The how is in the midst of encounters encounters like this. Except to God. Yeah, I get it. And so... But you gotta work on it. Just being strategic and standing people face. Like, what I've learned so far is marketing plays more of a role than talent. Like... I agree. Yeah. So going where the people are, like you said, stand like, content, content, content. Like... I have it. I can tell you, we've had, everywhere I went, all these years, I got visuals. I've always done it. People would look at us and be like, why you got all them cameras around him? I always done it. Right. And it's been... And it's been... It's actually paid off. It's what I do. So... You see what I'm saying? Because I'm so used to it. Other people will be uncomfortable. Right. I won't because I've always... I've been dealing with this for a long time. Right. So I think that's the most important thing and not curing what others are doing. But it... Exactly. Tapping into God and what you need to be doing. I think that's where it's sad. Right. Because lookers, looking niggas. Right. They ain't for to do nothing. What you looking at? They ain't not for to do nothing. Look at niggas just look. You know what I'm saying? So what would you tell a girl that's... I'm going to say about 17 that want to get into the music and she really want it. And she don't... And she don't know how she's going to do it. So what would I tell them? So for starters, it starts... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... It's... So for the internal side, I would tell her is like figure out who you are as a person first. Like falling in love with who you are as a young woman, because this industry will eat you alive if you are easily swayed or unsure of who you are as a human, as a person. Figure out who you are, stand on it. I got that from Nip. Like the actual stand on it. Like figure out who you are, stand on it and just know that whatever you have to say is relevant enough to anybody who you get in front of need to... Like you have to make that... You have to make what you have to deliver to people. Like that has to be take presidents over anything that you got going on. So like once you figure out that urgency or find that urgency of what you have to say, you know everybody need to hear what you got to say. Like I look at my artistry as a capsule of medicine and everybody's sick. You got to take this shit. Like you got to. Wow. So who do you look at? Because we were talking earlier, I believe I was talking about female artists and I was... The coldest to me and I love Cardi B. I don't play, but the coldest for me is Nicki Minaj the way she flipping around. Oh yeah, you came and not... Like just her lyrical ability. Is there... I mean don't get it wrong. Now you can't forget about MC Light and all those people who paved the way. But the way she has changed the game lyrically for me, I don't think there's nobody out there that does it like she does it. Give me somebody that can really go hard as she do in that booth like that. So are you talking about like... I'm talking about Nicki singing, changing up... Lord Hill. You can't... She didn't... her body of work is just... Listen. Listen. You know she got that. Nicki kissed her feet almost. I seen her. Yeah. I get it and I love Lauren and shout out Lauren here, but... Nicki is undeniable. The body of work. For sure. The way that... I think it's because she got with Gucci and then she went and dealt with Lil Wayne. That's a hell of an algorithm. Yeah. Not for sure. I mean she... Now Nicki hands down like as far as currently what's out is that... let me flip the pages. Yeah. I don't... Nicki is that... Yeah. I just wanted to speak on the females that rap and the artistic flow of the female artists. I'm not sure. I think Cardi got better though when she got over there with that boy, Taiko. I've seen her... I've seen her early on. I followed her. Oh, okay. But when she linked up with Offset, I could tell her lyrical ability. You... Because you... Association brings about a simulation. Yeah. For sure. If you're around somebody, you really... Whether you like it or not, you're going to have some stuff to rub off on you. Totally agree. Unfortunately. I don't care who it is, if it's a negative thing. That's why I said, you know, one small at one right now will have messed up with the true stuff. So if it's a good apple, all of them remain good. And I think that she got with a good apple when it come down to her, you know, helping her artistic flow. Right. That's just my opinion though. I don't believe me in that. I'm still under a rock though to where that's why I go to... Like before you mentioned, Nikki, I was about to say Eve. Like I'm... That's my dog. I'm back there. But the body of work. Because you can't say... I can't. You can't say Eve. And once you start tackling those, you got to go with a little Kim. Exactly. With the MC Light. Like I said, I look at Light and Roxanne Chante. Yeah. I'm looking at the way this thing launched off. Right. And what's that old girl named Luda playing in the movies? Now the one was... Queen Latifah. Queen Latifah. Oh yeah, for sure. Like these are patriarchs. Yeah. And I always talk about, you can't talk about... And I forgot the brat. You know, I don't know where to categorize that. But the brat, you know, you got a lot of different girls, female artists, women, ladies, that really, I don't want to miss nobody. What's Papu's old lady name? Remi. Remi. Remi did good with Fat Joe. And shout out to y'all over there. We see y'all over there. What was that... Foxy Brown. Some kind of squad, they got over there. Foxy. Foxy Brown did her thing, too. You just think about the different women and now, fast forward to the day and what's going on with the music today. It's a whole different vibe. People like Remi and Mom proud to see them, you know, be able to flip and cruise into these situations because that's a long lasting, that's a grind. You know, who else would you say? I think we got all of them. What's their name? Rhapsody? Well, you can't say some pep in them. I don't know what to call them. You got the girl, you know, when you start looking at Megan and all the new ones, I ain't even talking about them. I got respectful, but they're still, they're doing their thing, man. So, you know, Megan is doing real well. Like heavy. Really? Yeah. She says she's the female Tony Snow around this thing. Okay. She's like that pimpsie too. Shout out to Megan. That did it right there, girl. We better talk about it. Look at you. Pimpsie, I got, I know the code. That is the code. I mean, that is the code that said a lot of people that see, because this text is like you said, you gave it to me the same way I explained it. So, you ain't even talked to me and you said the same exact thing I said about how underrated, you know, the South Wars he get, he brought light to that. Definitely did. So, and you know your music, man. When I looked, I was like, this girl from South Dallas, who got this girl rapping over here? Somebody got this girl rapping. But I'm figuring it out now. You is really out here just rapping on your own. You thought I was on a puppet show? I thought something, I'm like, you need to put a key in her back. She thinks you're a rapper now. I love it, because you know what? I got you. No, but no, you did get me, because it made me understand that you really love the music and that you're not, you're not out here just doing something to be doing it. You're really, really serious about it. And you know, that's what we need. We need people to stand it up in Dallas. So, in Dallas, you got Erica Banks, you got, yeah, Erica Banks, and you got Megan. Erica Banks, and you got Cool, I'm waiting God, I don't know how to say this, man. See, you know what? You have taken some time thinking lately, so I'm trying to give you your space. No, you just, I just think that there's, you have unique, she been through her shout out, unique music, you have exo music, you know, you have, there's some people that, Flower child, shout out Flower child. I don't know Flower child. Yeah, you need to get her on here. I was going, I'm going to shoot her inbox to, now she, she the truth. Okay.

I definitely can't. I mean, yeah, it's going to be on the screen, right? When we saying this part right now. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it June 12th? Yeah, it's June 12th. What, um, okay. Um, Different artists to be performing. Oh, it's more than just you. Yeah. Basically just getting bodies in the room. It's a rebrand of like me coming out as cool, but I'm going to have other artists. Um, Do you have any names that you can drop to say who's going to be there? Not right now. Okay. That's, that's hot.

Like three doors down, it was the crack. I was like, we was in the middle and I shout out to my mama because I didn't know that until I got older. Like.
