 Now push yes, sir You've been in a game for a while. So yeah, I always always be wondering how do people how do you see the game right now hip-hop game? Man, um, I love the hip-hop game. I love exactly what it's become You know, I think that we're watching Like hip-hop it's already the biggest genre. It's the youngest genre and it's the biggest genre But I feel like we're watching it expand and and and and all these different sub genres and and just Watching all people be able to get money in so many different ways Um, I think it's a good thing. Um, it's funny I was with my brother in the studio the other day and somebody asked him how he looked at hip-hop And he was like, man, I love it for what it is. He said, but I'ma tell you The only thing I don't like Is that he said I feel like the streets is following My these artists that I'm being introduced to these days into the game And it's like and it's sort of slowing them up And he was saying how he um, he was like, man, you know I um As soon as I got introduced to pop smoke and I was like, man, I was I was digging dude He passed away. All right. He was like king von. I love king von My brother was saying this and he was just like, you know, I'm just you know Listening to him talk or whatever, but he was like he didn't he don't like the fact that um The streets sort of like follow it's like following the youngins into it And they not like being able to shake it and you know, ultimately ending in in their demise Yeah, I think it's like like even he say that it's like I realize as you grow to you realize everything is based off infrastructure Even when we go back as kids and we didn't we certain ways we moved and the shit we done We didn't had the right proper infrastructure now as you grow older and you look at your team You look at the people that you got in the place to protect you from certain things that's environmental Things that's you know, could be attached to you based off your upbringing And something you know how it is when you get to you know, when you're young when you first get your money It's like I gotta go back. I gotta be seen. I can't let nobody think I'm a pussy I gotta go back and flex so it's like it's this thing of I gotta be there and I gotta be in this Shit, or I'm not or now it's like I'm not real. I always thought that music was about imagination and entertainment And the imagination of and I think a lot of times nobody educate the young cast like yo, bro This this is entertainment. You could be Denzel. You're Denzel. You will Smith. It's cool Um A lot of people some are greatest artists in the history of time They was they understand the art of storytelling and understanding I've got to entertain you by any means necessary. I ain't got to go out there and catch a case Don't shoot nobody. Yo, that's that's my whole perspective on on Just on how I'm how I'm like transitioning and maturing in the game I feel like I'm trying to be Scorsese of this shit. Yeah Like I want to really paint those pictures and really make those movies and and really You know say the aspirational shit that make you know artists be like damn He really bussing but or like, you know, it just took it took creativity and took thought to do together um You know Being in the game for so long man, like you tend to find out being a realist nigga in the room Is not always the best thing to be in this shit You know say like you'll you'll you'll find yourself spinning your wheels being like that and it's like Me me personally I like sort of find I find like peace and just being like, you know what? Like i'ma just look at music and everything just on a whole creative plane right now Like that's just what i'm into. That's what i'm like striving for now. I think about big big say Um, I want to push 700s. They ain't made them yet. You know what i'm saying? It's just like come on Yeah, just imagine and shit and just like, you know, I go back to like some of those verses and those albums and Just listen to you know, some of the greats and and they weren't they weren't uh, so caught up In trying to prove who they was They was just trying to say the best in illest shit in the world Never was snumple. You know what i'm saying? I've been at this for a while. I think um You know and to keep excelling at this shit. That's what you got to do. Yeah, you got to keep pushing the envelope. Absolutely
