That's that's the best one right So full speed full speed exactly so can they run 15 miles full speed no you can't right no, but you can walk 15 miles Everybody can't now you can everybody can walk it team. No everybody can walk It's a big muffler that can't walk 15 miles But I'm speaking they can walk it might not get there in the same time you and I get there But if they walk they can get there in time they can get there in due time That's why I said I can help anybody win based on them not based on my expectations Based on what you could do. That's what I'm telling you if you if you could run a hundred yards straight By the time you get to that hundred yards nigga the greatest athletes in the world be getting them up for good oxygen Why because they're tired. That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot of yards to run Yeah, if you walk you can walk a thousand yards So I try to teach people stop running so fucking fast to start walking You're such in a rush to get there that you're missing out on now You're tired now you're like man, I need some oxygen. I need some help That's why you need cuz you fucking running. I got I started my podcast I pay everybody that worked for me full-time everybody worked for me. I pay my co-host everybody on my pod I pay everybody you know why cuz I make so much money in music I was gonna say cuz you got a lot of money. Everybody can't start a podcast and pay everybody We on the budget at the Kelly kickbag. I'm gonna show you are we filming is we oh Shit, we we why you why you doing that? Why are you doing that? See see this is I'm glad you said that see cuz when I have arguments or artists all the time We do this artist come on. This is a good way to start Artists come my office and they argue and they talk to me they're like but you need this you need this So I'm gonna show you something. I'm gonna show you something as we talking I want to show you like how much of how how the kind of leader that I am to the people that surround me Cuz I understand that someone's gonna say that to me right somebody's gonna say somebody go say you can't start No, somebody's gonna say exactly you can't you don't understand you need money to do everything okay cool perfect I'm gonna show you something. I'm like I'm like swiping through my shit. So, you know, you got to wait for the shit to upload Oh, no, it's all good. I'm gonna Kelly kick back. You understand me Yeah, we got Ray Daniels and his motherfucking man. He dropping knowledge that you can't get in college. You understand me On my mom is no excuses. It's no excuse. We started we started off. We game I'm almost there. I'm gonna show you something and you saying the people gonna say cuz it's everybody this Like the new rap game everybody got a pie. I already know but I'm gonna show you something super important Uh-huh, like I've been putting out content since for about since June. I'm sure you something super important Uh-huh. I wonder where's that here go right here. This is one of the first piece of content. I put out Let me tell you what you don't notice though the Mike's not plugged in I Could tell cuz the exact yeah, the Mike's not plugged in. Yeah, you can't tell I just say give me a mic put in front You know, I'm trying to say you're right You can find an excuse or you could find a way you're right because I did film a lot of Cali kickback episodes on my phone When I first started why wouldn't you you understand me put it? Sideways you get you a little stick throw that thing on their little tripod, but people people people people Don't want to win People just want to excuse for why they lose Do you think anybody can win cuz I don't think everybody cuz if if everybody kid if everybody can you just taking everybody when you second anybody You second anybody when anybody can win. Can everybody win totally different? I think everybody can win but wins are defined by the holder wins are defined by the person That's that's actually doing it. What do you consider success cuz you have very successful person Well for me my success what I consider success is the ability to go on The ability to stay in the game that success to me success to me ain't a number success to me Nothing success is just being able to walk as fast as I can without burning out Constantly cuz you got to give God room to enter And some people don't give God room to enter they don't give him a chance to enter they literally are like I need it now Okay, cool. We'll get it now. I started a pot But I couldn't I started pot and I had it based on just certain things that I had it based on I was like I don't I'm a podcast fanatic by the way like I love pods me too But I'm up you can get caught up watching these motherfuckers Like you didn't did something with your life and you realize you didn't do shit I just been watching podcast all day and I ain't did shit, but I learned what you learned a lot But so for me is like I'm a podcast fanatic. So I was just like dog How do I learn about every podcast that I know about I know from Instagram? I wouldn't know math Hafa had a podcast. You know math Hafa is yeah I saw clips of his podcast and I was like, oh, this is this looks dope and I saw following it So I stole my I told my team I'm gonna start uploading clips So for like the first so I just started podcast until Until August but I was uploading clips in June So I was walking outside in June and people were telling me congrats on your pot. I don't have a pot Let me show you something. I don't have a pot. I'll show you I'll show you this again Look at this shit, bro. Hold on. What is that? Look it says over my head. It says our three executives Everything it says all three's actually executives. Why did they say that because I didn't have a podcast I was just asked me a question and put it online That's all I'm gonna do And then I started going out and everybody's like y'all love your podcast I'm like, yeah, I don't have one though. You just love the clips that I put up on the internet How you feel about everybody starting podcast because podcasts like the rap game Before the cameras cut on I knew you talking about the music industry and how that shit is overwhelming You understand me now Podcast is the podcast the new rap game for sure. Well, I think I think I think entrepreneurship is the new rap game Anything that gives people a chance to beat themselves and make money themselves. That's the new rap game Anything as long as you because podcast Just is your way of saying put a microphone on me and I'm gonna talk what I would normally talk about Before the mics was on me and you was in here. Just talking fact. That's what I'm trying to say That's all the podcast if we just we got shit to talk about that's what's saying But here's the thing We got you to talk about you maybe a lot you just say if you wasn't in this music industry And you wasn't successful in this music industry You probably wouldn't have had a podcast right because I know you said you a comedian so it makes this why you got a show Well, well, I kind of disagree and here's why because in my mind I feel like if you pay attention what the future is the the future of the world is community Here's why because there was one point in time where we only had a few options, right where You know you every everything that everyone does now is on demand You can listen to every song you want to on demand. You can like nobody I love succession. It's one of my favorite shows. I've probably only watched the series finale In real time because they didn't put it up online before it came out So you had to watch it Yeah, and I still probably watched it and then came back and watched it came back and watched it came back And then I finally really watched it later But the point is is that the world is food for a community So if you could activate 1,000 people to spend $1,000, you just made a million dollars a year So Instead of I believe that where there used to be a time where there was these titans of people Now this time what is the smaller versions of people and the smart ones that can last Wait, the most important thing is that they could last those are the being people that create and activate a community of people That they can monetize properly So that's why I think anybody can do a podcast if you're doing a podcast for baby mamas for men That's over six feet tall at least If there's a baby mama with a man over six feet tall She's gonna be listening to your pot. You right because it's a lot of simp ass niggas that got these podcasts Are you seeing this right? I see I hate it by the way and my thing is this as much as we hate it It's motherfucking somebody likes it. Yeah, and that's the business side of it. That's why I said Do I think anybody can work? Yes. Do I think everybody can work? I don't know because that's on you but anybody can work if they just know who they talking to That's the easiest part of the game. I used to I was the first I was the first Kevin samus, by the way I can show uh-oh No, no, they watching before it was a before ever saying you you know before there was a podcast Before I knew what the podcast was 2012. I can show you clips of me online Well, I took them all offline because I was saying crazy shit and I took it all offline and I was like talking about relationships So my point is that I can give you advice on relationships Entrepreneurship or anything you want I give you advice on I'm a fucking father. I'm a big brother I've become I made myself a millionaire self made with no teacher See, I usually don't like talking about relationships without the ladies being here. Yes, they me shout out Jordan Lucas. Yes, they me all all my lady co-hosts that come through the kelly kickback. Yes, they me but I am curious about uh, your view on relationships You understand me because I know you very strong money very business minded. I could tell you um They oversaturated this word, but it's still a real thing man. I don't for male. Yes, they me I hate saying it now. I think there's more alpha females out there than there's alpha males I agree with you on that because because these guys but we the last of dying breeze Yeah, like I wish I can't even believe that some of these guys out here are Loud like me personally speaking the fact that women can over sexualize themselves Tells me that there's not a real nigga in her life Because a real nigga will tell you put some shit on you know why because here's the problem with the world The problem with the world is that women don't live in a world of of consequences, right? Let me tell you what I mean A woman will curse a nigga out Like bitch ass. What the fuck you gonna do me? Baby or he could fuck you up. Yeah, they don't think about consequences as a man if I curse a nigga out I gotta be prepared to die or kill. Yeah for real because we live in a world of consequences Yeah, so like I get an example when the sukiyama thing happened Everybody's like she should have a right to wear her body and no one harass her. You're right, baby girl You're a woman. That's how you think but as a man You know better if your daughter is walking out the house and her ass is out as a man you're gonna be like cover that shit up or if you're going because But the women the women could say that's the men fault though because that's all we entertain The women always say well, it's it's the men fault because men is entertaining these women the women That's covered up and carry they suffer certain way. Y'all don't show them the same attention y'all show Let me ask you a question if somebody dies that you love because they got hit by a car Honestly, they died. Do you give a fuck who fault it is? No Somebody somebody's dead. Yeah, did I'm trying to say? Yeah, that's not living. I don't give a fuck who fault it is I don't care what fault it is if if if if my when I was younger my girlfriend got raped She got raped at the bus. I was 19. She was 18. She got kidnapped at the bus stop and got raped You know, she got raped because she was with another girl who was like that dude just said he'd take us to the train station They left the bus stop got in the car She was like, all right, I'll go with you. She got raped doesn't matter who thought it was She got raped bro. It don't matter. That's what I'm trying to say about the world We're so busy trying to make sense of shit. It doesn't matter Somebody got hurt somebody died Somebody got sexually harassed. It doesn't I'm not saying is right Bro, if if I if you walk through Compton with a hundred chains on You got to be prepared to get robbed. Am I right or wrong for sure? So that's all I'm saying now women are be like Well, they should not he should be able to walk through Compton with a chain on and no one touch him You're right, baby In the imaginary world, but in the real world that we live in We know you better be safe and watch your fucking back because somebody will take you out So when I speak about relationships the reason why I'm the reason why I say I'm an alpha male Is because I don't give a fuck what a woman thinks about what I'm saying right now You could say I'm wrong standing on you got your nose. Baby girl. Listen. Listen I've lived long enough to know what the fuck is coming and I'm gonna tell you something I'm only telling you what I would tell my daughter. Yeah, it looks sexy. Yeah, everybody's doing it But there are fucking predators out there the same way they have fucking people online right now Trying to take meet with kids at 13 years old trying to meet with kids so they can have sex with them It is but it's wrong So how what do we tell the women when they see it's out because you know at the end of day We all want a woman that carries self with some respect and all that but at the end of day most men we do participate with the I love everybody, but we participate with the hoes. I love hoes. You feel me? I need a hoe You know, how do the women be like you're saying this but you ain't entertaining these hoes. No, no, no, no, no, no I'm not I love hoes bro. Hoes are amazing. Hoes are the reason why I go so hard because I love them I love hoes. That's not my problem, but I'm saying there's a time and place to be a hoe Bitches want to be hoes in school now. They won't go to kid school with the ass. I'm like, that's my body. Okay, dumbass Go ahead. You got damn right. Like it was a point of time But it's these niggas fault because they what They wife in the hoes A hoe could get wife. Well, let me tell y'all something. Let me tell everybody something This is a fact you could google this In the 80s You know who Ronald Reagan is. Uh-huh his wife his name is Nancy Reagan You know what Nancy Reagan's nickname in hollywood was blowjob Nancy, but she white though, right? It don't matter No, white people get be hoes and get married black women be hoes and they won't be getting married No, it's not because niggas be taking that shit serious black hoes and get married too black up like like dawg Let me tell you something a girl like a girl's like amber roles in black. Is she black? She would never be single. She's only single. She chooses to be white though. No black. China's black, but she'll never be single You say what this you say what? Man, we filming right now. What are you at? All right, let me know you out here all right Niggas trying to join the conversation from afar But my thing is that amber roles look white though. We can't put her in the black category No, she looked black and she has black a black woman's body She got a black body, but that face is white. She looked black her skin is brown That's that's the police Pull it up and I got amber roles in the car. I'm letting her speak because it looked like I got a white woman in the car I love everybody Okay, so okay, so let's focus on black china Black china ain't had no problem getting on man She ain't gonna have no problem dog hoes win and I'm gonna call them black china hoe I'm just saying we love everybody, but she fuck around with the fuck around. That's my point At the end of the day, I work hard when I'm done working hard I need to hold for sure yet, but a lot of I feel like uh A lot of the hoes Be having boyfriends. They don't be getting white in the black culture. The only hoe that got white was kim kardash Oh, white a white a white in the black community being a boyfriend is getting wiped That's why we made the term wifey Niggas that's what that's what black men do. We don't want to get married something like this wifey Niggas the same shit is that is your girlfriend my nigga like what are you talking about? But hoes will always win because at the end of the day men are men That's what I'm saying and that's the point so we can't complain about the hoes complaining. I ain't complaining We're not complaining my thing is this here's the thing you can do you can do that all you want Whoever's with me ain't doing that. That's what that's what I mean I'll say that it's me. No, I'll say the same. No, let me say something. Listen, let me tell you something If you got I don't know how you grew up, but my mom didn't play my mama didn't play neither So I Lorraine miss Lorraine nigga Lorraine didn't play so guess what nigga? I didn't get in trouble I don't smoke weed to this day because I was afraid that my mom would catch me caught me and fuck me up So my point is is this is that it doesn't matter what everybody else do it matters what yours does My mom's like if I catch you they can smoke if I catch you smoking you better get your you can get your ass smoked See what I'm trying to say so my thing is is that as a black man that loves my people I I I see what's happening, but I also see that we're going down a Crazy lane right now and the lane we're going down with being led by women women aren't meant to lead Let's let's talk about how let's so before a woman goes crazy and say motherfucker. Okay. Let's talk about how it goes When a woman gets married Her father walks her down the aisle and gives her away She takes their last name now. She's a part of their family. Yeah That's what's men don't get given away unless you know that game we get past the ground We don't get given exactly so that's what I'm saying is that the way God sent it and then women want to be men and I'm like bro The god didn't want it that way if he did then a one woman could be pregnant by 100 men But I could fuck a hundred women and get them all pregnant and a woman could fuck a hundred men But she's only pregnant by one That's the way the world works man Why are we arguing against nature? Because we have options and that's the problem with us you got options you ever asked the girl what she wanted to eat Yeah, it's very difficult because you know why nigga she got options But if you tell her we're going over to this restaurant, she's gonna roll We're going over to um to uh local green shots of my bro big Zach. She's gonna be like, okay I'll find something for the menu, but if you tell her what you want to eat hour later. I don't know Hey, ain't till pull up on me. You understand me july 27th I'm at the uptown comedy corner. You understand me. It's your boy. Louisville. Not the hell come on Feel free to pull up on me pop your pee. Come on. We're gonna have a good time Get your tickets right now. Do not miss out But I I think too because you know, I was raised by og's not ig you understand me So, um, like I feel like you know, we talking about the women and shit But one thing we do have to acknowledge, you know, because Obviously, you don't carry yourself like how this new generation of men carry themselves too. We got to acknowledge You know, the men is a little off right now too. Um, do you what's wrong with the men? Why men ain't leading why men ain't what why men ain't lead because women saying Why men ain't leading or why men ain't leading women saying they take control because these men don't know how to lead That's what the ladies is telling us. I I agree. By the way, I agree but I can't so my thing is this is that I I see men that don't lead and to me is just You don't have to lead you have to lead the household though You don't have to lead the world. You have to lead the household It's some new shit going on. This whole world is new You know, women want all the rights and wants to move like men and men are starting to move like women I believe 50 years from now. We're not going to have genders Everybody's going to be born and then when they get to a certain age, they got to pick what they want to be Because and that's some shit that a man think is crazy, right? I'm not allowed on my kid to do that I'm come on nigga. You come out with that father and pick a you are black because you are black father Black daddy didn't give a fuck what you thought about his fucking decision Oh mamas You're just trying to say hey, you ain't going And get your ass up says don't even look at me. You ain't going black daddy ain't never thought about I hope my kids love me. I'm gonna fuck if you love me. I'm not here to love you You're not here for you to love me. I'm here to prepare you for the fucking world Yeah, because the world because the world is going the world is going to be hard So that's my point. I just think that me personally. I just think that I I blame everything wrong with men on women and I blame everything wrong with women on men Me too. Yeah Everything because my mind is like if these chicks are dressed like this it's because niggas are not allowing them to If if a nigga say what you wearing wing going out wing going out you dressed like that I guarantee you they'll change but the dudes are like, I don't want to say nothing to her So I'll blame them too. But if you with me You are going to look the way you supposed to fucking look because you with me, you know what? I know this too. You were saying about uh, who's talking about I think it was marriage. You said something about I think in the black community, uh, I said boyfriend is being married. Yeah boyfriend is being married That's the capture right there I feel like a lot of men feel like they gotta Get hella money and be successful to get married because I feel like once a guy get his paper He'd be like, I'm looking for my wife That's true, right? But but but I I believe that Like okay, so I had a couple of women in my life that held me down when I didn't have nothing And people say, why don't you end up with them? And like I got like one thing about me if you follow me anybody know I'm honest with myself more than honest with anybody else and I remember thinking like I didn't like who I was back then So I didn't understand why they did Like if you like what was back then then you okay with me being that And I'm not gonna be that person no more. I'm trying to be someone else You think you can't grow with not no no no you can but but but but listen man, let me tell you something I Before I got my first check in the music industry two years I live with women I lived out of suitcase from house to house to house with women and that's the story every day And and I was and I was and I was audacious my brother. I was telling chicks I remember telling one chick who I was staying with you need to get your shit together. I'ma leave you Yeah, you was boyfriend pippin. I know it wasn't that I just knew I was going And my thing is just like like like like so say if I know I got you at at the time What do you mean with cities Atlanta? You from Atlanta. Yeah, I know that. Okay. I thought you were Atlanta. Atlanta's beautiful, brother I'm from Atlanta. But my point is is that a you know, I was I understand it I had to drop dick off every night because if I didn't I'd have a place to stay And I needed a car to drive and I needed one of them to play my phone bill And I needed one to put money in my pocket and they held me down. They all three of them held me down I was living I was going from one to one to one one paper. Yeah, as soon as you got some paper See, that's why I needed that's not a girl's that's not a girl's Hit me out. Hit me out. Hit me out. But hit me out. I don't think a woman should hold a man down You're right. I don't think that's her responsibility. You're right. That's that to me That's another bullshit like those women will let me live there. I don't think it was hold me down I just think that it's good to have in-house dick that shuts up to them I was just gonna say that that's why I was they hold you down. They're trying to keep you down They wanted some dick. So yo, come here give me some dick. You fuck me good We good because as a woman you're gonna have to get out there and if you're single anyway You're gonna go out there and work anyway. So it's either the vibrator or some broke dick that doesn't do what you say Which one you want, baby? I'm gonna shut the fuck up. I'm gonna shut up. I'm gonna drive you to I was jody.

I'm telling the honest truth She would pick me up from the corner because I was passing flyers out This is crazy. This is so what I think about it. I'm like, but see here's the one thing I'm gonna say after I tell the story. It's very important for the women watching to hear this shit She would pick me up from the corner because I was passing on flyers She picked me up from the corner and she would take me to the red roof in around the corner Get a room and we were fucked. But I fucked her Like You might have more money than me. I might be fucked up. But once it's time for me to put my dick in you Bitch, you gonna do what I say now. I'm in control for show you better.

Absolutely Oh I saw I think I was the first I was I was original. I was I was one of them ones Now who is the first male prostitute? I don't know Steadman. Maybe I don't know somebody was out there giving something Listen at the end of the here's a hard part You gotta know I and I blame women for this and I know it's women listening But I want to say this if a black man's upset right in this seat Well me and you talking and he's a billionaire and he's telling us he got a hundred holes And I'm flying private jets with my hose and I'm fucking everybody's in a different room. Me and you looking like word Now he leaves the room and me and you looking like dog He let he didn't watch this two women sitting here a billionaire female comes in And she's like, you know, I don't have a man I'll just live my life and do what I want when she gets up and leave the women sitting down Gonna be like that bitch ain't happy.

So so this happened a while ago My reputation is important to me. Y'all Atlanta niggas is freaky though Now Atlanta is just a place my reputation is important to me. So I'm just all I'm saying is is that I remember this one time I was fucking with this girl I always had chicks in the city at some point in time. I always had women around, you know off and on whatever it was But I remember I was fucking with this one girl. She asked me for some money and I told her I ain't got it Now I had it, but I just I'm like I ain't got it So then another chick I was fucking with candy man was like, babe, are you going through some shit?

And she was like, yeah So people saying that you fucked up out here. No I told a girl I was fucked up. So she told everybody so If if I tell a girl I got a little dick about fuck bad She's gonna tell everybody that too. So everything every time I anytime I've ever been with the woman My reputation gotta go crazy. I gotta make sure she knows right she was like, he's a dick But he has some good dick My reputation's on the line. That's all I have is my name and I got to protect at all costs So that means I'm gonna have to you know, show I'm gonna have to show her what it is When I when I was in that when I was in that mode. I ain't been in a minute, but I'm just saying This is what I was It's not that I'm out the game. It's just I don't play the game Atlanta is different though because I I'm new to new Atlanta. Yeah, everybody telling me where I'm in the a man man, you The ain't the same the a ain't the same Well, it's that that's because of the violence And that's because of the gun laws That's all but no, but only that if you're an Atlanta nigga, you you straight if you're there with Atlanta you straight the a ain't the same for them for the I was just telling somebody just today Atlanta's funny because if you don't get robbed in new york, you usually know the nigga coming Niggas usually come like come here nigga You like a Atlanta different Atlanta niggas a bit of a what's up? How you do? I show Louis my fucking belt this nigga hard this nigga funny funny. I take a picture of that nigga. Give me that goddamn chain Thank you, nigga. Atlanta niggas is different like that. Atlanta niggas is gonna get you so If you pay attention to violence happening the violent people ain't breaking in the cars and stealing shit On the south side of town on the east side of town not like that. They are they do it in the city When are they doing in the city because everybody that moves to Atlanta moves to the city? Yeah, I don't I got a crib in the city, but my house is uh out the way. That's the people i'm connected to be out the way That's that's why I stay out the way on mama's house My mom house man you my neighbor sleeps on her door open like she didn't like nobody coming to wild mad I'm in favor. I'm down by what Ross live. Ain't nobody fucking all right. They watching right? No, no, they watching right. That's cool. I have a security nigga that live with me Damn for real. Oh, yeah, I have a god that does my maintenance. I love me I'm your honey ray goddamn man. I know and I have a security nigga downstairs that wants to shoot So for me, it's like but but my thing is I don't even put the energy in the world Yeah, I love everybody, but I'm just I'm just saying I'm just saying the general that I'm from Atlanta So I moved to a south of town where I know I would not live in bucket Because I know that's where the little niggas is coming from look at it got ghetto Come on niggas. Why is it ghetto because everybody moving town want to move the bucket bucket is out Beverly Hills Nigga want to move the LA he won't go to Beverly Hills. I ain't never you might meet a couple people I won't go see Crenshaw before the most part. I won't go see Beverly Hills Buckhead is Beverly Hills. So that's where everybody live. So that's where Young niggas is going to steal the car Atlanta been running the music industry for 20 years now because y'all in popping I'm gonna say longer than that to me. I was gonna say I'm gonna say 29 I feel like Atlanta just I feel like Atlanta got on in 94 when outcast everybody's trying to do what Atlanta is doing Like having to run or running the music How it's two things that it's two reasons why Atlanta is so popular And the music business works is because in Atlanta We're gonna support each other even if we don't fuck with you like that because the city is always the common denominator That's the first thing But here's the second thing which is slightly the most important thing I want to interrupt but don't beef do help y'all coach it though because jeez you and gucci was beefing um You know, but that was like 20 years ago. But then you still got the recent beefs with you feeling Yeah, but that but that was That was a big deal. How about this? that that beef Follow was followed by indictments So that lets you know which one i'm tonight You will be views of mine because I don't I don't even know two or three beefs in the city T.I. Shawty Lowe Yep, they squashed that and that helped because we was why are we in california watching this shit Yeah, T.I. Shawty Lowe jeezy gucci and luchy and him had a beef with that exactly but luchy in jail uh-huh Uh-huh like that. No, no shot the luchy shot it up. But they as I'm saying they locked up Because because Atlanta's just different. We just different But that didn't help y'all crew that didn't I don't think oh, we got another special guest Man, he didn't he a real superstar. He didn't pull it up late. Yes, my brother. My brother. My brother. Let's talk Let's handle man. Yes, then we send in the building man It's been a minute since you didn't join the cali kickback man you all Come on man. There's two legends in the building man. We over here talking about three legends in the building three legends You're right. Thank you for including me. Come on. Come on. Come on. Bob's gonna tell you Simba me and simba know each other if simba called me and I'm in how about I'm in l.a. Right now If if g If g or simba called me right now and said Ray we in Atlanta. We need to pull up to the studio do one two three Nigga the answer is yes That's how Atlanta works. That's why it works though because we go on my once you win my shit my door's open And simba can be like y'all got a little homie there. He a good little dude. I just need to come record for Done. Yeah, that's why Atlanta works because we're gonna open our doors to each other Always say always say like I've been telling him from for years like the infrastructure is different in Atlanta Because they get it. It's like it's everybody got issues It's issues everywhere. You know, I mean people got beef. The thing with Atlanta's they don't publicize their shit And they don't I would just tell them that it was publicized beefs D.I. Shorty low young thug Get in the way of the money. That's what I'm saying. Yeah Yeah, that's what I'm saying It was it like the beef didn't spill like let's look at parking big like big I killed in l.a I got killed in Vegas. Let's look at like that like if luchi and them had beef. It was only in the city of Atlanta, sure like A nigga come to l.a. A nigga come to l.a. And it's like, hey, we got to make sure we it's different And I'm not saying that that happened. I'm just saying in Atlanta We just don't do that But here's the second most important part why Atlanta is still relevant because you two chains Still lives in Atlanta future still lives in Atlanta future got house in Miami But qcp and coach still live in Atlanta when the nigga make money out of chicago He gone You got nigga make but in some cities you got to you gotta say you don't you think you gotta lead a bay Me persi. I felt like I had to but that don't mean I can't go back Uh-huh. You know what I mean? That don't mean I can't go back and move shit future moved out here Yeah, everybody got it. Everybody got spot. Yeah, but it was like at the same time He ain't never leave his city that do matter because Atlanta is one of the few cities I don't want to say only but when you go out to the night clubs, you see the lana artists When you go to the bay or any other these cities you ain't gonna see the major artists I'm gonna say something very important. Give me something. Give me the biggest. Who's kendrick kendrick is huge here, right? Let's say Give me somebody else from la that's not that's that's that's that's known, but it's not that big That's kendrick. No yg is big. He's he's he's in the top five I just like i'm just thinking about somebody who's like let's say let's say raven Okay, raven. Okay. D. Okay. So let's say raven. All right. So let's say rape. No, but he's on tdds I don't need to make it hard jeep riko jeep riko. Let's say jeep riko. This is kendrick lamar. Mm-hmm. Does kendrick respond? I don't know right. He's too big, right? He's too big now. Here's the thing when charlie low this ti Ti I had to respond. You know why because the city on the line When charlie low said he saved from the west side God damn it must be too Nigga when people in the club singing at tip of his team is like, oh no, we got the answer to this nigga They think they think they was too big not too. He's like i'm answering this nigga tonight Niggas don't get too big for the city. Hold on. Hold on. No, the key to that is infrastructure Listen what he said when that was being played in the club We don't even have clubs to play that shit in yeah in the bay area Like I always say we got a limited amount of black people here So we don't have black club owners black restaurant owners. We don't have a lot of that here Therefore, we have a lack of infrastructure. So our club is owned by a lot of Caucasians Yo, yo, I just I take something. I got I was just telling somebody LA is different. Yeah, I can't believe white people talk to black people like that out here I don't know. Oh nigga symbol. I was outside the club and one of them white guys one of them Not even a part from not even like a nigga nigga like a white guy I was like I was trying to get my people in and white guy was like who are you? What are you? I said first of all, don't fucking talk to me like that I said somebody told me to come over there. So before you talk to me like that go there Because why I'm from white people don't talk to black people like that. Oh mamas nigga, they don't nigga in Atlanta and Atlanta in Atlanta nigga They don't talk to black in Atlanta white people don't fucking play with us. Yeah Atlanta's so racist Honestly, so segregated that Atlanta still got black night white night. Yeah If a white person parties with black people in Atlanta, they fuck with niggas. Yeah, real talk White people party separately black people party separately in Atlanta still the reason why I think Atlanta's so powerful Because out here you'll get lost in the sauce Elaborate and I'll hear you get lost in the sauce I'll hear you got white party promoters like who are you? Hey, don't fucking talk to me like that Nigga remember I was walking to a club right now I stepped on a security guard shoe and he was like you back up you stepped on my shoe back up And I was like bro my bad and he was like yeah, then he started saying something So then somebody else stepped up and I was like yo be careful man. You might step on the shoe I just did I went and he was like oh you a funny guy, huh? I could tell I said, let me tell you something about me Well, I'm from yeah, you talk to me like that. You know, I got little niggas out there that will kill you tonight And we love everybody By the way in Atlanta, yeah, everybody got guns. Oh mama's no if you you know that it's over carry state Everybody got guns. So you know you talk to me crazy You know, all I gotta do is make one phone call and the whole club getting shot up And the guy that shot the club up ain't gonna get no trouble He's gonna shoot the club up and go home. And that's what you know about my city I can get my I can get my man on the phone. I like that. They got too much authority here Yeah, I because we we it's a lack of us. Yeah So we we can't really like push the line. So it's like it's a lot of black people that ain't black But it's racism without brown skin It's it's it's racism. It's racism. That's it. Yeah. Remember the other night We was trying we was looking for something neat, right? So I I recently did found my first sushi. I like yeah, because I hate that shit Yeah, right, but I didn't found this yellow tail and I only like it from katana or no boo Yeah, or it was the other spot. They used to have them over there by the w of west hollywood But that's you're right though. Katsuya. Yep. Katsuya katano noble. Yep The only places out that I like it from right So we was headed to this spot the other day and they was like, um, oh no shorts You can't wear shorts. Mm-hmm You know what I mean? So it'd be like all these little guidelines to things you can't do to where it's like We really don't want y'all That's their mama's here. That's Oh, listen, let me say so Y'all remember that he said in Atlanta if they don't fuck with it. They just don't They don't fuck with us bro. Don't even play with it. When houston's they thought houston's was being racist Yeah Ti and them shut that motherfucker down. They still shut down to this day And it's in a rich part of town We don't play in my city You don't if you nigga, we are coming as ourselves and if you don't want us there Then we just need to make sure the whole culture knows and if the whole culture knows you're fucked When remember that guy got kicked out because he was wearing white sneakers and him and his girl's arguing Nigga the first of all shout out to the owner of the restaurant because that was my guy But his brother owns g-star and I walked in the g-star. I'm like, yo man, you know, I know what it is Yo, you're good, bro. He's like, yeah, this man taught me for an hour and a half pleading the case Man, you don't understand where you know me and my brother. You know, we love you guys. I'm like, bro It's good. That's Atlanta. I can call the eye. I can call Andre Dickens right now the mayor of the city I got his know I call him right fucking now. He showed up to my event. That's how we move in our city Atlanta's the only city where the gangsters the motherfucking music industry people politicians Tech everybody is in the same place If you black you in the same so do you think um Atlanta has um Like you know, like we think a hip-hop everybody talk about new york. Yeah, and um, do you think Atlanta is the number one for hip-hop Like overall now like it didn't went longer than new york. I can't say now I see I think the internet has changed it like simba's from the bay But Nigga simba's one of the best rappers in the world facts. He's not considered the best rapper out of the bay facts because The internet has made the world where there's no there's no Nobody is regional now. So for me, I think I think but I'll say this right here simba can come that Well, he's different because he's a he's a one of my favorite rappers and everybody who love rap love him Like you different. That's why I want that's why I want to see you win That's why I want to see you win because you're almost like you're almost like the young rapper that they all seen and they're like Yeah, he'll fucking he'll fuck it. But you you you with us, you know, you you're from our cloth But with that being said simba can so simba's different, but G perico If G perico comes to atlanta doors is open for him Nobody's gonna be like who the fuck is this thing? We're your town and I like that. Yeah, he come to my he come to our city you with us Simba simba my studio work. I'm like, yo, bro, whatever you need. This is how we start about conversation I got records that I recorded in studio right now and I'm scared to put up Why they too big he ill They too big. I haven't solidified my underbelly yet I'm still building my fan base. I'm still I'm still a discovery. Yeah That shit that we did over there. Yeah Yeah, you you was telling me I was like people don't know what I do for 11 like yeah I don't really talk about it. The people could let's get into it because the people If you know you know, but it's some people out there That's Yeah, but I'm just in the music industry. I Listen bottom line who I am. How did you get it? Because a lot of people that say they in the music industry I was gonna say bottom line who I am. I say this on every platform I speak on I know a hip-hop music in general did for my mother And my kids my daughter has never lived my son has never lived in an apartment in his life My daughter has never not lived in the mansion. I know what music does for my family So when you have something that treats you that good, that's why everybody likes him so much Because we could tell he never cheated the process. He just said to you I got a missile and you like why not put out? He's just says you because I can't cheat and that goes back to what we're talking about with the walking and running Yeah, exactly. He's walking. Yeah, but you got a couple niggas running Like I just might just send me footage of the girl on pound town Then shit thrown at her and I'm like when people consent you skip the step They're gonna treat you like that. That's why when he comes he's not going away. He's in a these artists in the microwave He's in the oven We can smell them. We go damn. That's that's him Because he's in the oven, but the other people in the microwave and guess what that's okay But when you in the microwave, you got to do a microwave shit And that's just what that's what it is. That's so for me So for me what I do is what I do is I'm the guy that I understand that I can't afford to miss I can't my mother is never driving a school bus again Never and my and my kids are not going to work at Chick-fil-A mcdonald's like I had to period So because of that, I don't cheat the process. So when I meet sima for the first time So I gave g his deal at warner. I signed grade eight So when I meet sima for the first time g ain't even there, but I'm just talking to him like Hey, brother, let me tell you what you need when I open my mouth. He can hear my sincerity He can also hear that this nigga know what he's talking about. Yeah, so here's the hard part when you know what you're talking about You ain't got time to talk You just talk you just when you open your mouth people know it's real So like I said before when even what I do is hard to explain But just know that I am the guy that the labels call to say ray. We need help what I like to look at him as It it's a it's a term That I would have to say That would help the average person who wouldn't understand it get it But it's much more than what I'm about to say. He's a cultural curator. Yes He's somebody that understands how to put this record with this person or this writer with this artist Or this producer with this person or this brand or this Athlete with this person for this commercial whatever it may be. He knows how to curate culture That's a very hard thing to do. The reason i'm late is because I just left a dinner with a brand He told me they're getting ready to pay Arnold Schwarzenegger a shitload of money to try to sell this drink I said Arnold Schwarzenegger is not going to fucking make me buy this drink Facts the girl I showed you on instagram another I pulled her page up. Yeah, I said now if I seen her with this shit I would wonder about this drink facts I think we're in trouble and what you just said is why I think we're in trouble. That's why Like I'm like that's why I'm in the position. I'm in that's why honestly like I'm better than 97% of these niggas niggas that label Niggas aren't white people. I'm better than them. You can't tell me. I know I am my track record speaks for itself When I left Warner says I left Warner, so we didn't have no hit So I left Warner because the last hits was me Best friend and tap in that was my team. That was me. No, no hit me up But I heard you I heard a new signal coming out is another record that we did when I was there called birthday But here's the point the point is is that I I'm better than those guys. So when I see No, no, I was giving back to my point. So my company's called lyi leverage your influence So what I was trying to tell you the management company. No, I didn't want to do a management company no more Because the problem the reason the thing was that every time I walked in the room artist went to work with me So I had to find a way to interact with them that wasn't permanent because I don't think I'm I don't have the I don't have the passion in me to go 15 years with an artist I don't have that passion in me I'll have the passion to get you to that point where you on the stage and everybody's singing the word for words I'll be like, yo, whatever you need hit me hit always hit me, but I'm gonna go over here and do something else I just so that's why I started an agency rather than this But here's what I wanted to say So and this is what I don't get this is the problem with the music business what we don't do So bt about to get sold right It's gonna get sold for what a couple b couple b's right for sure That's not tally perry bought it. He is but I'm saying well, he didn't announce it the internet announced it But he hasn't officially announced it. But the point is is that it was it was some billions, right? Okay, cool. But if you look at bt bt is worth billions. How much is the shade room? How much is the shade room worth? The shade room is to me has to be to me. It's at least worth a hundred million at least to me That's what I'll value it at. But here's the thing bt is worth 10 times the shade room. Why? Because that's how the system sees the world. But if I asked him right now, I'm gonna get you a choice Matter of fact, all three of us we all are out here doing what we do and we somebody came in here So I'm gonna get y'all choice. I'm gonna put you on bt every day or the shade room gonna post you every day Which one do you want? Shade room So that so guess what that says the shade room has more influence than bt That's what our company. It's called leverage your influence. So what I'll tell artists is I'm like So when I see similar I see first thing I say is he's a rapper. He's from the bay First thing I gotta count. So now when I'm looking at him. I'm like, how can I remember we figured that out How can how can we let him wrap his ass off? Yeah, but also say he's from the bay So so sweetie for example, we knew best friend was the biggest hit but She made two remakes already. She made the kaya record Um with the my neck my back record and then she also made rich nigga a figure. That's my type That was a little John record. So we did tap in because we like she needs to come on the record that tells the world I'm from the bay. Yeah, that's why it starts with two show. Don't never stop. If you that's why we did that It was like intentional. So when I'm making records with artists, I'm always thinking intentional What the fuck are we trying to communicate? Yeah, you good. What are we trying to communicate? So when I see Simba, I'm like he could rap But We in the microwave error. They don't want to hear a rap. So Two options in my mind either you can go to Wayne route Which you can yeah where he does the no sealings and he takes other people beats and he eats niggas alive He could do that or he can do another kind of cheat code where he makes a record that says I'm from the bay And I'm from the bay and I can rap and all I would say to Simba is On the other if I'm saying I'm gonna say on the other 12 songs you have Rap your ass off. Give me two while I let the hook come first And then you rap and we're gonna do 12 bars. Oh, I could just give me 12 bars for right now dog Jadakiss is one of the greatest rappers of all time. Yeah After we gonna make it he he never had to rap again and he still would be one of the greatest If you listen to like how they did it like What the fuck like it'd be all right though You know bad rappers get better promote their rappers get better promotion like thumb niggas were spitting on that shit But the reason why is that he's probably one of his biggest songs is because the fucking cadences are so short So now it's like you for bars you for bars So you can I'll have you now I have to focus on what you're saying because there's different voices people get bored quick Yeah, so keep going. Uh-huh when y'all ask what Ray Daniels do Hold on. Let me let her let me let them pass I'm about to say some real shit. Oh mama's When y'all ask what ray daniel's do this is why there's no number one rap record This is why there's no number one rap album everybody talking about that on instagram right What's missing today and rap is the black executive that understands code. Boom. We don't have dame dashes We don't have herb goddess We don't have these people who was telling ho the same shit that he just told me for me to get up and go to the studio And apply is everybody telling us to do some shit that worked for somebody else. That's not us Exactly. So this is why hip-hop is so microwaving. It sounds the way it sounds today because we can't differentiate What's best for different artists? And currently if you look at billboard hot 100 the number five the top hip-hop song is number five song Is the record that we did all my life j. Cole little dirt That's the top rap song in the world right now But here's the thing though, it's a it's a method to the madness my team did that it's a method to the madness and They don't want people like me in the room because then he's looking like well. I don't need y'all need him Exactly and that's what they don't want exactly you need them. So for me, it's like that's why I started a podcast because it's like Hey, bro, y'all can't quiet me. I'm too fucking good at what I do I'm gonna put content out and watch what happens and look what happened So for me, so for me, it's like I feel like I have more power than most 95 percent of a and r's I'm showing what I know. So here's the one thing about music that makes it hard when somebody has to sign What you connected is different. I'm not going to use you Artists when I saw an elite chopper, he met with every label Every label he picked the label that we gave him the most money. That's just honest He probably didn't pick the label's best for me one for the by the way, that's what you're supposed to do If you are artists go for the most money I want to interrupt, but what do you think is more uh Wiser for artists right now to be independent or to be uh on the lake It is no it is absolutely no difference It is absolutely no difference There she go. There's no difference. How you doing? Yeah, but for me but for me the problem is that so when I work as artists I empower them That's the problem in the music business. They are afraid to empower artists Because if you empower artists, then he's looking like I don't need you So it don't make no difference if an artist is signed or not signed. Let me ask you a question How many artists have got signed for going viral got to a successful second single? Lil Nas X that's the last one I could think about is very few very few But you gotta think labels have changed their whole business model to chase that And then now that's not reacting like it was two years ago and the reason why and I and I asked this because you recently was on I don't I forgot what I don't know what platform it was on, but you were speaking on the behalf of um The label situation like why is it? Why is it instead of being independent? And then you got some you got some backlash on people understand like oh You're not wise for one to own your masters. Yeah, because what I was saying was What's the point of owning a hundred percent of nothing If I can give a piece of something up for them to help maximize my visibility Why not do it? So their motherfuckers who got something to say probably making $3,500 every six months off they music but talking about I'm a owner But what about the people that is successful? I see even the people that's successful. Nobody's successful. We'll say that No, I don't want a name drop name one Slim thug says something on the comments and basically no disrespect slim thugs not successful as an artist No disrespect talk about it. I fuck yeah, we gotta talk about that right speak on that No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not dissing listen I like thug like I like I like I like sister incredible feeling I can name thug songs I love thug but thug is not successful today That's why I said you can't you can't tell me a successful artist said it Thug thug is a legend. You can't tell me one person. That's 100 independent. Uh-huh. And I'll do that sell out just Yeah superstar. Yeah, and now that thug is from texas Young you can be independent in texas texas florida california Are the only three city states in the world where where you can make a million dollars You never have to leave outside of things in a room slept on for sure. Thanks. Yeah So and then it's also a thing I'm speaking from My my opinion in my perspective. I'm not saying you got to do that. Yeah, if that works for you That's what works for you for me personally I'm from the bay area where there's a lack of black people and the way I rap doesn't relatively Resonate to what they're doing over there So I had to leave and find outsource help to bring more awareness to who I am as an artist And that's no that's no that's no coincidence. Why new york is my biggest market I go through that with sonny bow and lewis bell. Yeah, he don't even probably know who the fuck sonny bow is He knows exactly who's buddy. Yeah, I rather this nigga know who lewis bell is then Yeah When I worked at a label, I'd have no heart hardly no interaction Like I never interacted with swede outside of being in studio saying hello I was behind the team that was in the room and in the office making the decisions But now I have more relational artists than I ever had in my life Every all the artists fucking me and follow me because I'm telling them the fucking truth and I don't want nothing in return Like I'm not a nigga. That's like, yo, something this is what you do All I want man win because like I said I start off I know what music did for my mother and I know what if he wins what music going to do for the people He went and I know if you went that's how I look at us It's like we ain't gonna be able to establish nothing like I'm not I'm not mad at white people for winning They've been waiting for a long motherfucking time. They just have control. I'm just saying hey, man We need to get our winds up and only gonna get our winds up as if we stand together and help each other And it's that simple. Yeah, like it's that simple. So for me. It's like it ain't no bad Shit, it's just but this game is making it a music is so easy. It's Hit me out. Hit me out because it's a lot of niggas. They're rapping. Hit me out. Hey boy Stomach, we're out right now watching this one. So hit me out. They're not good They're not good today They're not good today They're not good today It's not good. It's not good today. It's not good today. It's not good today. It's not good bro Bro, if good doesn't have to sell itself. That's why I once again This is why I started a podcast I once again, this is why I started a podcast in the first place because I was like you don't need money You just need to be great and you need to know who you're talking to and who you're talking for He winning to me. I don't know nobody that don't fuck with Simba. Nobody. Nobody The only the only thing that's in front of him is the bullshit. So it's kind of like it's kind of like, you know It's like it's like yo, yo, Louis. Oh man. You hungry. All right, cool Now I can feed you now some McDonald's or you know, we can wait three hours. I get some mash roads He's mash roads that McDonald's most of them are gonna pick McDonald's, but he's winning and here's the thing I'm saying he's when but here's why he's winning You pay your bills with music, right? Yes, he's winning. That's what I mean by winning this I just bought me my mama my uncle and My other uncle tickets to the fight July 29th and my auntie was crying. She's the biggest boxer fan This has been the most happiest moment of my life making money off music. That's amazing He's making money doing music. He's living the dream. Yeah, bro See, we'd be so focused on when my life changed when I stopped focusing on the destination I start focused on the journey. He's on the journey. We all are on the journey right now The only time you're unhappy when you're like, I'm trying to get there and fuck there If you keep walking don't get past that That's some real shit. Yeah, bro. Like this is the journey, bro. Like we be that's what I said is winning He's winning by the way. I'm not he's winning He's gonna keep going up and I want to be one of the catalysts on his journey. That's like the Wizard of Oz He only go a brick roll. I he gonna stop in my stop I want to give him something and he go further up. That's what I want to do That's what I've been my whole career for anybody who I've interacted with period So for me, it's like music is easy, bro The music is only hard because you're overthinking it if you naturally don't it's like man I'm just gonna say this because we talked about relations to yeah when we started fucking that we need help No, you got some pussy and just figure that shit out, right? Nobody said you don't said here's what you do movie hits like this you put your shit I'm at first. I'll fuck it out. I didn't knock a fuck till I put my dick in somebody. I was like, oh shit She was moan. I'm like fuck. I'm good at this mama. It's yeah. I knew I could fuck I didn't know I had a big Big thank you Was that I didn't know I couldn't dance so for that I can't dance the first thing is like I don't know about the fuck I can't dance that I have my sex for the first time and I was good at it Point is is that some of y'all are just mad y'all can't fuck It's just that simple. So go what is listen go find a way like I got some shit I said I said I said to everybody here's the reality that every human is facing including everybody in music business You got three options. You could stand in line and wait You can pay to skip the line or you can stand out in line It's only three options that every does one of us have this podcast you stand in the line You're trying to get it so what you in line now You might be able to do similar come that gives you a look that's standing out in line Right. You might say here's some money for ads That's paying a skip the line and I said when you figure out when it's time to pay When it's time to stand out and when it's time to wait, you'll be fine in life That's some shit because it's it's it's so it is not hard it is it's hard if you it's hard if you not talented No, no, you see in the niggas that can't make it. You don't have to be talented What about y'all y'all said if a rapper ain't if it's hard. He ain't made it. He's suck He's not good at rapping. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no They're rappers who made it that sucked to yes They just have figured out how to make a song the song is the gas that takes you far That's that simple He his superpowers. He can rap. Yeah The one thing he hasn't done yet is make the song the world want but if in rap rap caviar That's rap caviar right back. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but guess what he ain't in no rush Cuz he cuz it's like, you know, it's like it's like fucking when I knock a fuck I ain't trying to get married no time soon. I'm enjoying fucking. Yeah, cuz that's what I'm I get married nigga, I got a fuck one person or sneak around He's fucking right now You and no need to bussing It's like brother shit, yeah, brother shit is not hard we make it hard because we're overthinking when I told people I'm like, I want to solve it. I'm saying I want to put content out. I'll just put a mic in front of me I just showed you clips of me talking without a mic plugged in. Yeah, I don't care I'm not afraid for y'all to laugh at me. I'd rather you laugh at me because at least you looking Did not notice me at all. Yeah, I'll be I'll be saying that all the time. Yeah, I recently did something Oh, we got some old motherfuckers talking about Michael Jordan. Okay, talk about Michael Jordan like that Oh, you're talking Katie. Yeah. Yeah, exactly Bro bro dope shit dope dope dope don't have to work Yeah, I swear to God. I didn't see the first time I saw Simba was Dallas. Yeah, I'm on you that out Dallas Dallas post artist though. He posts all his artists So what like Simba was only he posts he posts all the shit That's what he's supposed to do right first of my song and I was like, oh, this nigga can rap and then I saw him on Flex and then guess what he did on flex that no he called flex out all once again This goes back to my three guess what he did Dallas posted him. He's waiting the line flex pop. He's gonna flex. He stands out in line He stands out in line. I'm gonna call you out nigga. That's standing out. So now flex like damn nobody ever did that before That's standing out in line. He makes the steps necessary to fucking win Moments it's moments. That's all it is bro, but it's knowing the moments. Yeah yesterday. I'm not gonna say the name of the platform I went to a platform. They wanted me to do a freestyle. They put on a specific beat, right? I left Now they thought I was being an asshole, but what I told him was the beach are picked won't allow me to give y'all the moment Y'all think y'all finna get yes. Yeah, so this doesn't make no sense Because anytime I do this we make it a moment So how about we try this thing in two weeks and y'all find another beat that makes sense period That's a fact. Oh, all you got to do is be dope I got a role, but it's a book that I suggest everybody read is called buzz marketing and Would what buzz marketing taught me was that you don't need money. You just need to be dope and stand out for being dope and The rest will work yourself out as long as you do that. You're fine Most of the time these artists don't work because they want it now And I'm like, isn't it fun getting there because once you get there where you go from there Now guess what you know, I tell artists. I have a I have a Was that was that thing when you turn it over and the sand goes in our glass our glass my office And I tell artists. I'm like the minute that you start winning our glass turns over Times running out. So guess what you got to do what you don't realize you got to keep putting fucking sand in a fucking glass So that way they don't run out So it's the game It's the game little pump has made has won But why does it feel like he fell off now, right? Because he ain't putting out shit. Yeah, it ain't that it's just but he might not have been our artists Some niggas are just influences that made a wrap. It's comedians like that. Some people are comedians. They they skip guys They's great skit guys. They not that's my but that's okay. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah, the point is Tapping to your superpower. The reason why I started talking is because since I've been in the music business Dog, I'm the last thing I'm gonna say when I started managing my guys. I swear to God I'm not lying. I didn't know the publishing there was and somebody said y'all get a publishing there I was like, how much did we get hundred to hundred fifty? I'm like, shit. I could we can get 300 We get 300 so I got a lawyer down like window pub deal. How much did we get? He said man, you guys got some buzz We probably get like to 250 300. I'm just calculating my 20% Oh shit. I'm against the money dog We sat at the table me and my guys and what I'm doing right now is what I did for everybody Nigga two weeks later the deal was at 1.5 million Because people my lawyer was like I've never seen people command the room the way I do right They love hearing you talk to Ron. You say the right thing Timothy. You say the right thing This is incredible. That's cuz I ain't gonna lie. I'm be real just him. I was like to him. I said yo Man, I get us. You didn't get half a million. He said I just take such and such I want 1.5 million. Here's a crazy part somebody came back with 2 million We shook somebody hand it ready. Now. I was trying to get 300,000 Pointed even when I saw this podcast I didn't start this to make money for sure I started this because I'm in Atlanta and I need niggas to know I'm better and it's either I'm gonna go away quietly Or I'm gonna make noise on the corner Nigga, give me a mic watch me make some noise on the corner And if I start making sense people gonna gather around and people start gathering around Mother's gonna start looking and being like damn my thought process was how many rappers I signed that want to meet Gary Vee Gary Vee don't know shit about music. No disrespect. Well Gary Vee ain't made a fucking hit in his life Why don't I meet with him? You know they want to meet with him cuz he shows him he cares Yeah, me that's why he's in good hands cuz the dude that's the head of his label Dallas Martin He cares now if you look at these other labels the motherfucking people at the top don't give a fuck You and that's right off and that's not not or you'll wait for me to get my bonuses And at that moment, I got a drop the mic a head By the way, I wanted to do a show with Simba so bad cuz I feel like I'm the fucking executive version of Simba Some credit cuz that was the exact move What should you tell me I pull up Simba come and I'm like me Soon as I see you and then I'm like all right. We're gonna lock in. I'm like Simba, yeah, and it was I didn't even know y'all knew each other. Yeah, but you know But I'm just like yeah, it's one of them No, but that's what I'm saying, but bro like this shit is easy bro. Just be dope. I'm the rat I'm the exact version of Simba facts. That's it I know Simba can't wait. I know Simba be like like I Wish I signed ears. I already know for a fact. He ain't got to say this He ain't got to confirm this if this every rapper Fucking where he at or right in his vicinity in the same place and they like we gonna put a beat on rap I know Simba's like nigga. This is my motherfucking moment And you know some rappers are like I don't do that. Yeah, that's my point And let me tell you why I say I'm the Simba let me tell I say I'm the Simba guy Cuz when I sit in the room with an artist and they say what's the plan? I can't wait to say I got the fucking fucking and I know most executives would be like Let's just figure it out. And that's why I say the fucked up part about the rap game is it's more me and less of him Yep, everybody want to be a rapper. Yeah, nobody want to be great at coming up with the plan to help the rapper That's what you're missing today. That's what the fuck I wish I could stay man. I'm now And the more flights available than that I always say I got to get this flight My brother this the first of many man. Yeah, let me tell you something man. We are superheroes There are people watching us right now saying look at them I could do it and those people are usually people from the ghetto those people are usually people from the ghetto that don't have confidence and And seeing us and hearing our stories about how we from the ghetto But we still here gives them the confidence to get off the porch And if that's what we do as men nigga, we are saving our communities. Yes, come on my nigga, man Yes, they're me right there Whenever you come as soon as you come Give me no heads up. I'm in town. Yeah
