shout to the Lions. Are you a diehard Lions fan?
Are you a Pistons fan? Or no? I'm not gonna
I messed with the Chiefs. Okay, they play Jacksonville Jaguars
this weekend. Stump. Yeah, that's that's that's an easy one.
Like I like you, how to go to the super Bowl.
That's a lot of die hard Cowboy fans. You know,
(03:16):
they're happy that the Cobus fans that Apples played the
forty Niners, which they're gonna lose to that I think,
I think, I don't know, it's gonna be a bang
right there. That's gonna be good. I do know they're
gonna be I think, But why do you have to
do Tom Brady like that? Man? I ain't like that man.
(03:36):
Run out of that pocket. That's see now this you
see the NFL. That's why y'all need black quarterbacks. Y'all
need some niggas that's gonna be at a run. Well,
you know the game has opened up now you gotta
it's more so for a mobile quarterback. He couldn't do.
You see what that was doing. They was blitzing him.
What he wrott out of them? Show super Bowl predictions?
(03:57):
Who you got? You gotta che Chiefs winning. I don't
know who the versus they wander whoever is Cheese versus
Philly one? And they're gonna be felling. Yeah, the Chiefs
are gonna beat Philadelphia. Yes, they're gonna be anybody who
they play, don't No, No, definitely not. I think may
(04:18):
make it like this sounds crazy, even though I hate
their fan base, but I really think the Cowboys might
take take Super Bowl. No, I don't think they're gonna
win the Super Bowl. No, if they go, if they
even go to the super Bowl, spending that sport Jones
just spend some money if they if they go to
the super Bowl, it's good for the sport. If they
(04:38):
make it. This is American. I like to see championship. Yeah,
it's good, it's good. It's good for the sport. What's
not good? Right now? It's Todd and Julie Crisley surrender
to start their twelve and seven year prison sentences for
bank fraud and tax evasion. Are you familiar with these
two people who Todd and Julie Crislie. It's two white people.
(04:59):
They had They had a y'all, they had a popular
reality show, and they're going to jail. They're doing hard
tell the seven and his wife is doing How much
money there was put millions of dollars? Millions of dollars
tax evasion. Ain't doing that. They're just trying to get
(05:21):
there free now, okay, okay, Tony want Savage gets to
a heat argument on the clubhouse, y'all undefeated on this side.
Everything that Befits smoked not happened us life. I advise
you to shut these We're out that spankish so stop playing.
People need a man name business man. That's my coming
(05:45):
on that. There you go, man, I just feel like man.
Artists gotta artists, gotta stop talking to the peasants. Man,
you got because my thing is this, if you're a
multi millionaire, right, you have a lot of things ain't
so lose. I would never be arguing with anybody on
any social media, especially these people are using anything that
(06:10):
you say on the Internet or in your lyrics, and
and the social media presence is different. They expect a
lot more from an artist who when people will be
trying to change up their ways and do different stuff,
and then you're bumping the people that are just like
lure you into those type of situations. You know what
I'm saying, This kind of arts. So it's like what's
(06:32):
right and what's wrong? Because if they stay away from
social media, then people ain't gonna be too engaged with
the artists. Know. It's it's a tough spot for wrappers, right.
Fat Joe used to say that a lot of people
would bate him into, you know, snacking them in the
face or assaulting them so that they can do the lawsuit.
The lawsuit hard business, Yeah, he do. You find it
(06:53):
that's hard though, being for example, now you're a recognizable face,
like people know who they face raids. Yeah, well, when
people you could feel the anger, you know, people on
bad time, bad time and just moving. But when you're
dealing with keyboard gangsters, you know, conflict like that, I
(07:14):
ain't dealing with you be saying all type of stuffy's
like whatever, I can't stop it. You know, it's crazy.
I've seen Roddy Rich got into a similar situation on
Clubhouse where some people, some people you know back in
Compton was saying like, yo, you're not from You're not
really from the hood. And he was saying all these
things on Clubhouse and then they called him into the clubhouse.
(07:35):
And now I understand what you said. You know, with
artists are getting lured in to the negativity because it's like,
you know, you guys come from the hood and then
you know, you get an opportunity to make millions of dollars,
and then you got people in the hood trying to
bring y'all back like, na, man, you ain't on this pedestal.
You need to come back and how do this situation?
And it's like it's it's really hard because like you said,
(07:56):
it's like, yeah, you know what, I'm watching Shock documentary
now HBO Max and they were, you know, Shock was
Shack's parents wanted him to finish college before he went
to the NBA but his but it got kind of
dangerous on the court because everybody was trying to foul
him and really take him out and um to the
(08:16):
point where they had to he had to go pro.
So it's crazy. It's been happening from the beginning of time. Yeah,
this was just a part of the like becoming drawing
and being you know, you got people that's gonna try
to pull you back because they're envious at what you've
got going on. Just you gotta moved through, ain't. It
Ain't gonna be easy, especially when you go on to
(08:37):
the topic. Okay, alright, baby Face Rady and the Build.

that's not Those are the worst. I'm saying. Some niggas
to knock some women over to shave very night, just
want to feel, you know, looking at me just to

(11:38):
You know what I'm saying. He ain't been on Turning
a long time, so to be on Twitter with it now.
I've been a fan of you for a while. Man
Um before the double X L Freshman, I know I
was preaching for you to get that in two thousand
twenty one because I actually found you in the pandemic
two thousand twenty Well, I didn't give it to me one,
I don't know. I remember my post you I said
(12:00):
it should have been you, but you gotta last year,
so salute to that. But I want to do it,
though I facts I kind of felt the energy almost
say't to do it. I'm like, man, I ain't gonna
do who I'll be lying to myself if I don't
go do it. The double X sale Freshman listen is
like something every rapper one being I don't I don't
care what you're saying. Everybody, So you know, Turned up
and feel figuring them. I'm like, no, I ain't gonna
(12:23):
do that. I'm going to do it now. Do you
feel like, um, you know what the Detroit music saying.
Do you feel like it's a lot easy for Detroit
artists to get on now than it was, you know,
a couple of years ago. Yeah, I don't understand. Like
when I listened to Detroit music, I listened to l
A music. It's it's like similarity. It's it's real similar
(12:43):
I don't know how to explain it, but it's the
music is like real similar because our our music is
inspired by the street culture oakand l A gangs, you
know what I'm saying Now, we were not gang oriented,
but we raised from like hustling, so it's kind of
the same. Know, we're all trying to make a quick
book and it shows in our music. So that's the similarity. Now.
(13:07):
One of my favorite songs is Paperwork Party. Yeah, um,
we actually listening to it when you can't, Uh, what
made you want to create a song like that? It
was my birthday and you know me, I don't really
celebrate my birthday. I just went why not? Huh. I
don't know one of people that always feel like I'm
working from behind, like what I'm celebrating funers keep going,
(13:28):
but I'm recording at that time, a lot of people
is getting out of jail and they was showing the paperwork.
But I ain't never been a prison. I'm like, man,
I'm good on the paperwork as far as like money,
And it really started just being a joke for real
any time to that, Like you know what I'm saying.
So it's not about people like I can show my paperwork,
like I ain't never been a prison of my life.
(13:49):
But that's what That's what I see dudes in prison
holding their paperwork up said, they have the paperworkword in here. Man,
I'm at what I never do that. I'm with that
too though, Yeah, yeah, show your paperwork for sure. As
far as me, I've never been a prisoner. Was just
as far as like money wise, I was do you
feel that your chance and your opportunity came like do
(14:11):
you feel like you were overlooked for a minute before
you finally got your just do? Man, I've been doing
this for she ain't living years. Every artist from the
trade past Big Sean either a new personally seen the
transition for them to returning to what they is talking about,
t Grizzly Days, loafs Oide of the Baby. You know
(14:33):
what I'm saying, all these people was people I could
reach out of touch before before the you know what
I'm saying. So by me doing music and I'm blowing up,
you kind of like did something to me? Makes me
feel like my music wasn't there? What made you keep
going though? Me just loving to do music. It's really
(14:53):
just me like just being music, you know, I just
live music. So and it worked up what was the
turn point for Indemic. I had dropped the tape call
for You with Paperwork Party uh number one fan, and
I remember I had a conversation like camera man. I
had called him and I'm like, bro, everybody in the house,

two people who Todd and Julie Crislie. It's two white people.
(04:59):

reality show, and they're going to jail. They're doing hard
tell the seven and his wife is doing How much
money there was put millions of dollars? Millions of dollars
tax evasion. Ain't doing that. They're just trying to get
(05:21):
there free now, okay, okay, Tony want Savage gets to
a heat argument on the clubhouse, y'all undefeated on this side.
Everything that Befits smoked not happened us life. I advise
you to shut these We're out that spankish so stop playing.
People need a man name business man. That's my coming
(05:45):
on that. There you go, man, I just feel like man.
Artists gotta artists, gotta stop talking to the peasants. Man,
you got because my thing is this, if you're a
multi millionaire, right, you have a lot of things ain't
so lose. I would never be arguing with anybody on
any social media, especially these people are using anything that
(06:10):
you say on the Internet or in your lyrics, and
and the social media presence is different. They expect a
lot more from an artist who when people will be
trying to change up their ways and do different stuff,
and then you're bumping the people that are just like
lure you into those type of situations. You know what
I'm saying, This kind of arts. So it's like what's
(06:32):
right and what's wrong? Because if they stay away from
social media, then people ain't gonna be too engaged with
the artists. Know. It's it's a tough spot for wrappers, right.
Fat Joe used to say that a lot of people
would bate him into, you know, snacking them in the
face or assaulting them so that they can do the lawsuit.
The lawsuit hard business, Yeah, he do. You find it
(06:53):
that's hard though, being for example, now you're a recognizable face,
like people know who they face raids. Yeah, well, when
people you could feel the anger, you know, people on
bad time, bad time and just moving. But when you're
dealing with keyboard gangsters, you know, conflict like that, I
(07:14):
ain't dealing with you be saying all type of stuffy's
like whatever, I can't stop it. You know, it's crazy.
I've seen Roddy Rich got into a similar situation on
Clubhouse where some people, some people you know back in
Compton was saying like, yo, you're not from You're not
really from the hood. And he was saying all these
things on Clubhouse and then they called him into the clubhouse.
(07:35):
And now I understand what you said. You know, with
artists are getting lured in to the negativity because it's like,
you know, you guys come from the hood and then
you know, you get an opportunity to make millions of dollars,
and then you got people in the hood trying to
bring y'all back like, na, man, you ain't on this pedestal.
You need to come back and how do this situation?
And it's like it's it's really hard because like you said,
(07:56):
it's like, yeah, you know what, I'm watching Shock documentary
now HBO Max and they were, you know, Shock was
Shack's parents wanted him to finish college before he went
to the NBA but his but it got kind of
dangerous on the court because everybody was trying to foul
him and really take him out and um to the
(08:16):
point where they had to he had to go pro.
So it's crazy. It's been happening from the beginning of time. Yeah,
this was just a part of the like becoming drawing
and being you know, you got people that's gonna try
to pull you back because they're envious at what you've
got going on. Just you gotta moved through, ain't. It
Ain't gonna be easy, especially when you go on to

Um before the double X L Freshman, I know I
was preaching for you to get that in two thousand
twenty one because I actually found you in the pandemic
two thousand twenty Well, I didn't give it to me one,
I don't know. I remember my post you I said
(12:00):

so salute to that. But I want to do it,
though I facts I kind of felt the energy almost
say't to do it. I'm like, man, I ain't gonna

feel like, um, you know what the Detroit music saying.
Do you feel like it's a lot easy for Detroit
artists to get on now than it was, you know,
a couple of years ago. Yeah, I don't understand. Like
when I listened to Detroit music, I listened to l
A music. It's it's like similarity. It's it's real similar
(12:43):
I don't know how to explain it, but it's the
music is like real similar because our our music is
inspired by the street culture oakand l A gangs, you
know what I'm saying Now, we were not gang oriented,
but we raised from like hustling, so it's kind of
the same. Know, we're all trying to make a quick
book and it shows in our music. So that's the similarity. Now.
(13:07):
One of my favorite songs is Paperwork Party. Yeah, um,
we actually listening to it when you can't, Uh, what
made you want to create a song like that? It
was my birthday and you know me, I don't really
celebrate my birthday. I just went why not? Huh. I
don't know one of people that always feel like I'm
working from behind, like what I'm celebrating funers keep going,
(13:28):
but I'm recording at that time, a lot of people
is getting out of jail and they was showing the paperwork.
But I ain't never been a prison. I'm like, man,
I'm good on the paperwork as far as like money,
And it really started just being a joke for real
any time to that, Like you know what I'm saying.
So it's not about people like I can show my paperwork,
like I ain't never been a prison of my life.
(13:49):
But that's what That's what I see dudes in prison
holding their paperwork up said, they have the paperworkword in here. Man,
I'm at what I never do that. I'm with that
too though, Yeah, yeah, show your paperwork for sure. As
far as me, I've never been a prisoner. Was just
as far as like money wise, I was do you
feel that your chance and your opportunity came like do

trade past Big Sean either a new personally seen the
transition for them to returning to what they is talking about,
t Grizzly Days, loafs Oide of the Baby. You know
(14:33):
what I'm saying, all these people was people I could
reach out of touch before before the you know what
I'm saying. So by me doing music and I'm blowing up,

feel like my music wasn't there? What made you keep
