 I want to ask you about Mode 3. He passed away when you were locked up. You knew Mode 3. I talked to him one time through Bay Bay. Through Bay Bay. What did you think about that when you first heard about it? Oh man, I hated it, because he was special. So you got guys that are good, you got guys, you know, just because you get a big record, that doesn't make you special. That mean you got a special record, you know, but he was a special artist. So, you know, I'm trying to really, like you talked about my son, I want to, you know, get it in, pull up the bag, get my label started, move on to him. Do some work with him. Of course, get my son in position. Right. In my city, because Fort Worth rolled for me. Man, so all of those horror stories with everybody up there, Fort Worth rolled for me. Yeah, they have a lot of love. Dallas rolled for me. Yeah. I'm talking about supporting me. Tom, Chief, Tug, J-Dog out in Houston. They kept my name alive. Wow, Mr. Lucci was in here too. Lucci, man, he did something for me. Yeah, because I saw where you said that, and I was trying to figure out how hard is it for you to do recording a verse or anything there and then send it out to get it mixed and mastered with somebody else? How hard is that? For anybody else, it would be super hard, but there's this guy named Jeff at Sessionworks again, who would answer every call, he would mix every song and have it sounding like glass breaking for nothing. So I know this is just gotta make a provision. So for me to come out here and get on foolishness, then I'm really, I'm snubbing my nose, I'm not gonna do that. Yeah. You know, I'm gonna come out here and make music and I guarantee you anybody on the track to get a feature or want a feature or whatever, I'm gonna punish them, that's what I do. I wanna ask you about mode three, he passed away when you were locked up. You knew mode three. I talked to him one time through Bay Bay. Through Bay Bay. What did you think about that when you first heard about it? Oh man, I hated it because he was special. So you got God that are good, you got God, just because you get a big record, that doesn't make you special. That mean you got a special record. But he was a special artist, just listening to him very, very talented. He just had it, he had the it factor how they put all of it, you know what I mean? And to find out that he passed, and I hate to see him go so fast. But how shocked were you at how he passed in broad daylight? That's something you don't see on that, on any major highway. I've been here in Texas 20 years and I've never heard nothing like that before. Yeah, well that part about it didn't shock me much because I mean, I don't know him. I didn't know him like that or what he was into, but I just, you know, the work I made it to the street, they say it was in the street. So in the street, you know, the street don't have lights. So it ain't really no all, they don't care where. It's all fair game in the street. Yeah, you know how to, you know. Yeah, it ain't no, it can happen anywhere. Where everybody see your own site, they say. Your own site. Yeah, you young niggas say on site, your own niggas been following there for years. Yeah, that's true. So man, like, yeah, you didn't know how I've been at that peeping tongue, man. It's closed now, ain't it? Yeah, I know, I already pulled up. We were young when we met. Boy, that was a long time ago, man. I posted your gold card the other day. Did you? Remember? You know, I still got the gold card. They was laughing. They were laughing. I told them I had it, these niggas trying to play with me, man. I get on this show and act up, you know what I'm saying? Well, they should have never gave me no cameras, man. You know what I'm saying? You got plenty of them. My next question is, so did you know Big Pokey? Oh yeah, yeah, that happened since you've been out, right? I was just a fan. Okay, so when you heard about what happened, what did you think? I still really don't know what happened. I just know he passed. Yeah. I think they said it was a hard condition. They said it was a hard condition. They're so about to say so, you know. I hate that, man, you know. Yeah. And again, with social media, the thing that I can't stand with social media is that everything happens right there before, you know, before social media is like, okay, it's a protocol. Let me notify the family. Let me, you know, before they put it on the news and everything like that. But if you're out in the open, everybody, the first thing everybody do is take up their phone and start videoing. And it goes straight to social media. ESG takes me FaceTime me really. I didn't answer it. Then I look back and I text him and he say, man, he, he say, big poke dead. I like, what? It's like three in the morning, bro. He hit me like that. Cause me and him, you know, we, we talk. And I was like, that messed me up, man, because it's so crazy how these same cameras and these phones and these cameras on these phones, you can have fun with them one day. But then the next day they can turn on you. You know what I'm saying? They can be some totally different, bro. And it's crazy how, and you adjusting to how these cameras are coming out. Cause anything you do can. And we'll just against you. Yes, baby, it hit me to that early on. She really, really, again, I tell you, she the best thing happened to me, you know, coming out of, I mean, which is whole experience. But she had been trying to give me, you know, she told me everybody's, there's always somebody recording. And I kept that in mind, then, you know, of course we watch TV and I'm like, you can see somebody fall and hurt themselves when the first thing they do is this. Yeah. It's not time to help them up. Yeah. So please, if you see me, I don't mind taking pictures and all that, don't run up and put your camera in my face. They'll do it. And I'm really used to that. They'll do it. Yeah, I know they will. And I'm not gonna go crazy. No, cause they did it to me a lot of times. And you gotta be, you gotta understand, man. A lot of these people have a lot of, even celebrities have accepted it and the people that they run into accept it. That's what lead these people down these roads. So. Because it becomes norm. It becomes norm. Cause you don't see it. You don't see it. As soon as they come out with it at the Kroger's on me. They come out with it at the store on me. I come out the store with my hoodie on. This is the stuff that they do. Cause they wanna be, man, they excited to see you. They ain't ever seen, they see you like on this set. You gonna, on real life, all of this stuff, man, is amplifying who you are and you own. And when they see you, oh, they gonna express it, bro. But the crazy thing about it, like for us, like we just think of ourselves as regular people. So just because, and all of this, just like how you say you feel so comfortable because of who we are, but we don't think of celebrities or anything like that. But people, when they see you on their phones or on the TV, cause they might put it on TV. Oh my God, you made it. You're a celebrity or this, you're that. But I'm like, but we're not. We just regular people. Regular people, yeah. And the same old two step, you know what I'm saying? So what top three artists of all time did or live? Any genre? Any genre. Number one. Wow, that's a good one. I know, that's what we do. That's a regular question, you know it. Number one. Michael Jackson. That we get that. Number two. Number two. Let me see if he gonna do the regular one, two, three. Frankie Beverly. That's hard. That's hard. That's different. Number three. Damn, only three. Only three. That's it, that's what everybody say too, say it. Prince, yeah, that's the one. People normally say Tupac, Prince and Michael Jackson. Well, yeah. If we were in rap, but when you. No, it's any genre. Yeah, I know, but so I can't, this is only me. There's no comparison and talent with the. With the greats, Mike's and the princes and the Frank. The feeling you get when you hear that music is unbelievable. I get it. And I still didn't get a chance to name Anita Baker's shot. Ooh, Anita Baker go hard. You had to cut them out. Yeah, but. The Whitney Houston's, you had to cut them out. Of course. So I really hope you drop that out of my hope. I hope you don't, cause what you felt in there. Is that on the 16th? Yeah, what you felt in there, I mean, I think it's something to it. You know what I'm saying? It is to be heard. It's something to it, bro. And unless you want to hold back and then do it a little later on. I'm gonna kind of weave them. Weave them together. We drew and every drew and while you're looking that way, I'm gonna weave it. Me and nephew gonna shoot it out. Man. It's tough though. But as you know, I was in my jail frame of mind, but it's good music. I'm talking about it. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gonna talk.
