 First, Snoop complaining about it. It was a lot of people. A lot of people that didn't feel like the music industry has been paying what it's supposed to pay in this phase. I don't understand how the fuck you get paid off of that shit. Can somebody explain to me how you can get billion streams and not get a million dollars? And so that's something that a lot of artists and a lot of people complain about, you know what I mean? But you have a different take on it. Can you survive it? Yeah, we on Boss Talk, one-on-one, one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna talk. But when you're talking about staying relevant, what do you think about the music industry right now when you see a lot of people are not saying struggling, but the antics that they're doing to stay relevant in the music industry, what do you feel about that? Well, everybody is complaining about the streaming and how it goes and what, I got narratives too. It's like this. They always said the gas price is up, right? Man, the gas, but don't get none. You ain't got to get none. They got to drive. No, no, no, no, you would not go to jail for not getting no gas. I'm gonna go get some. I don't care if it's five hours of gallon because I got something to do. You know what I'm saying? It's the same thing with the streaming and the music game. It's so bad. They meant, let it on. You don't have to listen to it. You don't have to do it. You don't have to go in that studio and make that time, do them videos, do that content. All these people that's complaining about their streaming and making these things, they still at it. And you're not even talking about the streaming part. I'm talking mainly about, because people always say it's not the talent that's in right now. It's how crazy you can go with your drama, the antics like that sort of stuff because that's where people are gonna be watching you. Well, for me, it's always different phases of the game. The game go through different phases. Final, cassettes, CDs, streaming, content. It's all about, can you survive it? You know what I'm saying? It's a lot of people doing a lot of antics and all that. Will they survive it? Will that be enough for you to continue? That thing, I don't care what it's been. I figured out a cassette. I didn't understand any of them. I remember cassettes stacked all up in the garage and people bootlegged in them. I remember the CDs getting burned in the bootlegged. Now we got the streaming, we don't understand that. Now we're trying, can you survive it? And the thing about it, the game ain't for everybody. No, it ain't. It might take you 20 years to figure out that that wasn't for you. Or it may take you 20 years to figure out the particular lane that you're getting in. It's a lot of rappers that should be managers. It's a lot of other people that, it's a lot of different other ways to make money in the game that people, so people are just, sometimes people tap into what they see, antics and this, that, but how long is the survival rate on that? Can you really win on it? Can you stay in that particular space? Man, I haven't really had to, I don't do that much talking. Like this part, I don't. Because I don't have, it doesn't require me to have to survive off that. I'm extremely blessed in what I do now. I understand the game. I need to do more talking. You gotta come out, come to and tell your story. But I haven't been able to get something like that and have to lean on it. I've been blessed. And I tell people in the, even in the podcast games, some of my partners, I tell them that's wanna jump in and A, be careful because sometimes you be compromising your character. And then when you get through with the podcast game, you wanna come back over here to the real one. And most of us, we're gonna look at you based on the character that you just got to driving yourself into for the last couple of years. So sometimes people man are jumping into things that might not be sustainable for their character and who they are. You know what I'm saying? So you gotta keep with it. I wanna go back to the streaming part cause that was a lot, like I said, I heard Snoop complaining about it. It was a lot of people. A lot of people that didn't feel like the music industry has been paying what it's supposed to pay in this phase. I don't understand how the fuck you get paid off for that shit. Cause somebody explained to me how you can get billion streams and not get a million dollars. And so that's something that a lot of artists and a lot of people complain about, you know what I mean? But you have a different take on it. Can you survive it? That's just it. My whole thing is we have to be able to play the game until we get it figured out. It goes back to what I'm saying. Did you have cassettes figured out? Did you have CD? You didn't have any of that figured out but you survived it. And it goes back to what I'm saying. Like if it's that much of pressure and stopping you from getting where you wanna go, you don't have to do it. You don't have to do it. Like you don't have to continue to get these beats, go in the studio, record. This is something that gotta be in you in order. I heard y'all say the thing about Snoop. Snoop is an OG. That's my guy. I love him. I think what he's saying is perfectly true of what he's saying. But here's the thing about it. It's not stopping him from doing it. No. This is a total game. Like for instance, we're talking about the streaming. Well, we can complain about it and how much it's not doing and what it is but take the rest of it from us though. What about taking the Instagram from us? Taking YouTube from us? All of it's a thing. Like when I drop 25 summers, it's not just about the album. It's about Honey Land. This particular show. I done this here. It's a whole thing. So my whole thing is, we're complaining about one side of the game of it but it's connected to everything. I use Snoop for the same example which is Snoop may have made a great example of how we get losing on the streams. But if you turn around, Snoop is the biggest branded artist in the game. Oh yeah. You know, as Corona did. I didn't kill it. Everything. Commercials. What you do. Martha Stewart. Whatever you can think of. My whole thing is, favor ain't fair. Yeah, yeah. And the streaming part of it is just one part of it. It takes more than that. It takes the content. It takes the posting. It takes the music. It's a overall thing. And if you outwork the process, that's what I do. I outwork the process. I do so much work too. Whatever you cheat me on, you got to have to have to have to have to be true. Cause I'm gonna outwork the process. I'm not gonna have less work than you can outcheat me for. I'm gonna have more work that you're gonna have to come clean about. And one thing about it, I'm a own mind. I'm a own mind. So you're gonna eventually have to tell me the truth. So I don't have a lot of streaming complaints because my favor in Wyoming, it's about favor. I'm not watching the numbers for that type of way. The album brings this. The album gives me a chance to go to Boss Talk. The album gives me a chance to go do the rodeo and come out. The album gives me a chance to rap in front of 25,000 with Jesus. The album gives me a chance to get the sponsorships. And I got my own ice cream flavor. I got my own beer. I got my own clothing line. It's a whole thing. So it goes back to some of the artists that complain it. This ain't even for you. I did see Jesus down there. You just mentioned that. Beautiful. We had a beautiful. What the hell was it? The snow face. Yeah, how did that come together? Explain that to me. Jesus, man. I think Jesus is a part of our city just like it part of Detroit. You know what I'm saying? He come a lot. His street cat, we love him. So he just left a few weeks ago but in November we had him for the snow face. It was a real big soul out. I seen him. I was like, damn, he was down there? You know, he hit you like that on that. You know, I ain't going too many places but I said, damn, Jesus down there, they're kicking it. But it's something that you figured out though. You know how to launch a project, bro. Yeah, but to launch a project, man, like you do the way you layer it, the way you lay it out, that's a gift, bro. Everybody not able to do that. Some people are doing it to the best of their ability on the independent level. You, for some reason, it looks different. I've told a lot of people, did you hear me say it a lot? When Kiki, when that nigga launched something now, it's like a whole, like he all under some type of a label or something. Well, the thing is about it, people would think that that's related to a financial thing. No, that's effort. God gonna bless your effort. Like, I'm not all, I tell people, this is not as easy as spending 40,000, drop it, 80,000, come back, no, no, no, no. It's not that simple. But I put up, man, me and Slim, we be laughing all the time. When I let him hear my rap, he tell me, man, you be doing a professional album. I'll be done. And he laugh when I tell him, man, I just be trying to get God to see that I really do, I'm really working on it. You playing your seed. I'm really trying to, so he can, you know, and I'm just there's like, mindset is everything. You know what I'm saying? So my mind says, so when I do a rollout, you know, from the cars to the album, to the content of the piece, I'm just, hey man, it goes back to, hey man, at this particular age, but you to be still tapped into anything that I do, I want you to know that I'm very appreciative and grateful. So I'm gonna put out some effort in order to make you like, I'm not sad when I'm getting ready to do a release cause I know I got the vibe and I got the energy of my fans. They gonna tap in.
