Speaker 3 (00:24):
What is the if somebody because a lot of people
getting their teeth done right now. Once that run somebody
obviously a normal person. If you were to pay full price,
you didn't. You told me you didn't pay full price.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, I mean it depends on if you hit, if
you're in the States, or if you fly out.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
So you went out of the country. Yeah, not the Turkey.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's for the hair Nahu Cali, Columbia.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
So what does that like? Run somebody? If I wanted
to get my teeth.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Done, probably like six to ten.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Ok, yours a good thank you. AD's look crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I mean, you know, I don't think they look crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I think they well, I feel like we're used to
them now, but when they went like I feel like
AD was like one of the first rappers to get
the Veneers for real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was just
one of the first guys. So when we first saw
those a dteth, it was like now we're used to them,
But initially it was a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Even my daughter was like, please don't come back with
no mister Ed's right.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know what I mean. So I had to make
sure it was right.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, for sure. Was it painful?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I sat in the cheer for five hours the first
first time, then three hours, then two hours and two hours.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Did you have to like come home and then fly
back or was it all No?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
No, no, I was all doing the same week Jesus
shot to Columbia. Yeahever the nice ten piece and get right.
Yeh man, you just dropped your new album nineteen ninety eight,
which is why the ninety eight title. It's like around
the time where I first fell in love with like storytelling.
The music got it like big l you know, ghost Face, shit,
(01:49):
Nature forty first side, all of that Queens Beer, Queens
Bears was really like where I was looking, you know
what I mean, where I was listening to music, Nori
fucking a Z and like all of that shit type.
So I just wanted to do like an ode too,
you know what I mean, Like when I when I
fell in love with it. And another thing is is
it's my era of music, so I'm not trying to
(02:10):
not match with you know, my age ranging.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I feel like your last shit you were like
kind of like you've been doing a lot more experimenting
in the type of melodies and just dipping your toe
into like different sounds. But this is more like some
rap shit.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, because I structured it like that. I mean
I worked on the project from intro to and you
know what I mean, I wasn't just pulling records. I
was actually going to the studio doing them one by one.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
How many bodies of work do you have out? I
feel like it's a ship Ton twenty twenty My goodness.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, for sure, that is a lot spent a long
time two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Eight they're all on DSPs nah, I.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Think like three of them aren't, and then the rest are.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Three of them are on that PIF database. Summer.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, for sure. Kept the hustling, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Damn So yeah, ninety eight was it a hell of
your for hip hop? You know they always say ninety
four is like the best year, but I about say, like, yeah,
I mean ninety four was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, I think ninety eight ran into two thousand, so.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, I mean because then you get the rough Riders
ship in there, you get like fucking the locks you get.
I mean ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Was was.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No Way out Wait it was Puff Daddy ninety seven
or ninety.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, that was with them all walking like on the
album cover. Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah. And then No Limit Yeah, no, No Limit was
ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Sledgron had every plastic case.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, all of them, the orange one, the fucking c
Murder one, the Fiend one where I had all them shits, yo,
It's crazy, Like it sucks that, Like someone needs to
do that, because you know how it would be dropping vinyls.
Someone needs to do a hard album release that is
like a thousand copies and do it with those.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Cases like those bitches to be fire, and then you
get it for the case for real.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And then you'd like every every album, you'd open it
and it would say the five or four Boys album
was coming soon, but like it was like coming soon
for like three or four years, and then every new
album there'd be a different iteration of who was in
the Five or Four Boys, right for sure. There was
like one when they signed Snoop and then Snoop was
all of a sudden in the Five or Four Boys
Coming Soon album. I was like, oh shit, Snoops in
the Fiber four Boy and then yeah, damn the Five
(04:24):
of Four Boys shout.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Outs a mystical Yeah that shit was just ship right,
No shout out to them. Yeah, I'll let you have that.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Master p Man shouts shouts to master p Man. What
do you think about this whole beat that's going on
with the within hip hop right now? It's good?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, and it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't have no no opinion, like strong opinion about it.
I just like to hear what what's going on?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I think I'm I'm very kendrickal with my bias, but
I said this to you off the camera, like if
if Drake comes out of this like unscathed, he might
be the goat man and I'm not. I don't even
have him. I got him in like around ten because
I'm a hater.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I mean it's it's competitive.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
But like if this fools like the whole like he
posted that picture of Uma Thurman and kill Bill, that's
really what's happening right now? All his friends in the
rap game are against him, and everybody else is against him,
and it's just Drake and like Baka.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
But also I feel like I feel like in hip hop,
even though like we might have been younger, there was
situations like this. It' I mean, we might not be
able to name him, you know what I mean. There
might have been the situations where it was just that person.
I know, it happened in New York before. At some
point it might have been nothing. I mean, you gotta
think Drake is like the biggest rapper ever.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, no, the fifty thing. Everybody was against fifty for
sure before, but then he linked up with eminem But
when he did like how to Rob, but he was fifty,
he was on the come up, like he was not
working about Drake and Kendrickman and the Weekend is involved
that metro booming in future and asap Rocky and fucking
Jamarants catching strays. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's definitely crazy. You gotta be ducking out here.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
J Cole just said, my name's Bennett and I'm not
in it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
What you think about that?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I actually I was not as like, I feel like
people really took that and like really ran with it
in a way that I mean, Cole's obviously an energy
type of dude. He's kind of moved the way he's
moved with like not caring about anybody else and like
(06:41):
being super in his own vibe. So when he said like,
it just didn't sit right with my spirit, like I
think I think I respected it well.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
To me, then that's where you should have stayed.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I agree, But you know how it is, man, motherfucker's
being in your ear hyping you up crash out. But
he should. But but and that's the I mean, listen
from the hip hop perspective, I would have liked to
have seen Cole like fully engage. Yeah, and too, I
thought I thought that what he said on that record
was just like a nice like, but I don't think
(07:15):
he believed anything he said. Damn, I don't think he
believes that. Kendrick's just like he doesn't think the to
Pimper Butterfly is that that was like, you don't you
don't even believe that to be true? Like Top Butterfly
is a fucking in my opinion, of course, I mean
the albums that like incredible, even his last album that
(07:35):
everyone's saying. I mean, bitch, the album's platinum. He sold
out a whole tour and I still listen to that
on this fucking day. So I don't think he believed.
Because the thing about Kendrick, unlike Drake, I don't know
how much you could say about Kendrick Lamarer outside. Maybe
he didn't have a favorable deal with TD back in
the day he left. Obviously he's with PG Lane, he's
got his own thing, and he's short. Because that's really
(07:58):
all they said. What else can you say about? He's
so out the way, he's so private that I don't
know what else you could say. Drake's shit is so
out there that there's so many things you can mention.
And that's why I'm just I want to see what I.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Like to hear what you got to say, because I
don't got a horse in the rais, and.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It sound like you do.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, my horse is always I mean, I just think
Kendrick is, you know, one of the most prolific, incredible
artists musically musically.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Your giography, well, I'm just saying you're excited about how
it's going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I also think if we're going right now and this
is without hearing anything Kendrick saying next, I think it's
pretty close because I like Drake's record a lot, and
I also thought it was fucking hilarious. I know some
people thought it was corny, but I actually thought it
was funny that what he said to his mom about
Rick Ross. I thought that shit was comedy. I was like, man, mom,
(08:49):
you know the guy you see the songs with, He's
he's really hungry, he gets angry, and.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
To me, that felt like, I don't know, that felt
like something I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I like seeing like put a record out and then
play in the internet shit too.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But they played a different world. You feel me like.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Rick Ross's you know Rick Ross's He's the ultimate troll
for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This is right up his alley.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, he's been waiting for this. I actually think that
Rick Ross record was already a record and he just
added the end part. M hmm, because if you listen
to it, it doesn't sound very The rapping part of
that song isn't very direct. H It's very like it
just sounds like it was a Rick Ross song that
was sub and Drake and then he was just like, hey,
let me throw in these I think he had the
(09:33):
first part of that and then the outro where he's
talking about him getting a BBL. I think all that
was just added and they put it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Out, but it sounds cohesive.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It does shout out to Ross. I wish his rapping
would have been more direct. He did the outro where
he was like, you know, that's why I fucked you, bitch,
you fat motherfucker type shit. You know, but it's like
I would, I would, you know. The raw shit was cool.
I'm not. I wasn't too impressed by the Ross record,
to be honest. It was funny.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Is do a quality too for you?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I just thought that when I heard Drake shit Drake specifically,
he specifically name names. He was very direct. Ross was
talking shit when the beat was riding.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now, I mean well, Ross also said, you grab a
sea is going to be a long game.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It's just the first quarter, which I'm looking give me
the second.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Quarter, all right, man, I agree, I wont if.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Drake's I mean, look, man, I'm telling you, if Drake
comes out of this ship and he's looking good, I
got nothing else to say, He's the goat because I
the one thing that disappointed me with Drake was he
didn't reply to Push Your Tea Like Push Your T's
dis record was so powerful it a child gained a
father in this world. Damn, that's crazy, that's crazy. It's true.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh my god, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
A kid is growing up with his dad in his
life because of Push Your Tea right now.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You don't think they would have had his dad without it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I don't think he'd be putting out records. I don't
think the little dude would have had a freestyle out
and be like hanging out, like getting Nike deals. Push
Your Tea ruined an Adida's deal and expose the child.
No smoke for him.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He ruined an Adida's deal, but didn't get a bigger
deal with Nike.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
No one's wearing those Nikes. Don't know anybody wearing them.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
But did he get a bigger deal? He might.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I think you'd rather have the Nike deal if you're
Drake anyway, Yeah, for sure, shout out to Drake man.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think no horse on the raised neither. I just
want to hear the music.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Look, I'm telling you, if you just take like that,
like that's a better song. Obviously it's a number one record.
In the country. It's a fucking banger. But if you
were to just take Kendrick's verse and Drake's verse or
Drake's shit, I think it's a toss up. I fuck
with Drake. I think Drake surprised me, and but he can't.
There's nothing else he could say about Kendrick.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, the quotables matched up, and I feel like a
mag was dumped.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So got to figure out to me Kendrick thing is
just like, hey, man, you got to call top Dog
for permission. You did a song with Taylor Swift that
by the way, there's a video of Drake dancing to
in a commercial and you're short, all right, Yeah, I
don't know what else you got.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, we ain't gonna know.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
We don't find out. Man, you've ever been involved I
mean obviously you almost you know. I mean they've been
involved in some street ship, but yeah, but have you
ever been involved in like an on record no beef.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
In the street and when I was coming up in
the hood type ship but right, but.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Not since you guys have like nah, I feel like
anytime there's ever been any even with Wiz, like any
static with like other artists, like it's never like this
wiz just don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, you don't give a fuck, and it's like it
was like it's peace because it ain't nothing going, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Right, it's the right players around, right exactly? Who else
on the project? I met a couple of.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Feature I just did my homie Boas from uh Pittsburgh
and then I got smoked this on it for shore
me and bo was in the group back in the
day and he was like my favorite rapper from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So that's a blog era fucking Pittsburgh rap. So for sure,
is there anything like for you that you feel like
you still want to accomplish in the rap game that like,
you know, because you you've running up this independent catalog,
But like, is there like anything new? Like I know
you were talking about trying to like write for other
(13:32):
people and like doing stuff like that. Is there like
anything else you want to try to check off the list?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I mean, not really in in in rap for really,
you know what I mean. I put out two albums.
You know, it could have been a point where I
didn't get no albums and everything was a mixtape, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So I'm thankful for that. In the writing world. I've been.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I've been in Nashville, you know, tapping into the county country,
you know what I mean, Like not even like playing
around neither. I mean like really right that ship and
crafting it the right way to move and not for
no pat on my back. But three years ago I
put out Escape, which to you know what I mean,
was already so I always tell people like I was
already trying to get world. Yeah, that world. So I
(14:14):
went down to Nashville. I met with my boy Red Faarn.
He got this song called Jack and Dye Coke that's
real popping right now. And we just wrote and then
I wrote in some other sessions and then we linked
and and you know, once I got the vibe of
how to go about it and put records together, it's
a whole.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
World out there.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
It's like Nashville is, like the music industry is, it's
its own. Like you know, we think of New York
and La. Neither of those places matter in country. No,
Like Nashville has just secluded its own industry. They got
their own people, their own studios, their own a and rs.
They don't give a funk about New York. To give
a fuck about LA. Most of the executives on both
(14:53):
of those sides, and they got their own executives.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Then all of all of the music spot for music
or like it's called music row. Everything's right there anyway,
you know what I mean. So you go to you
go to Broadway to party, but the.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Music, all the studios are in the offices and all
that shout out to jelly Roll. Man, I guess that
foe has gotten me in the country music.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yea jelly Roll is to homie having a run.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yes he is.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Some wedding bands trying to sue him. What there's a
wedding band named jelly Roll that is trying to sue
him right now? Wow? Good luck. Yeah, it's over. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Money long can.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Forget about it?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Can forget about it?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
What about uh? For you? Like? Uh? Is there any yo?
There was?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
This?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Is there ever gonna be a fucking Taylor Gang album?
There's tons of songs for it?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, we I mean we did the one and that
was with Atlantic at the time.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
But was that that came out on DSPs?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Oh ship, I thought that was just a mixtape.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
No, that came out on DSPs. I don't know, man,
I think we're all at a point where it can
happen whenever. But everybody's working on their own thing. I
always tell people that once the brand is built, it's
it's on us and the people that we signed and
the people that's a part of it to make branches
and you know, create new leafs and shit in new life.
(16:20):
So like that's my thing. We're gonna go do the
country writing or trying to write for other artists and
you know things, getting those rooms and stuff like that,
starting our gaming company and like things like so it's
like just doing stuff to keep it going, you know
what I mean, because we all having kids and like
ship like that, you want to have something to show,
something to give, you know, generational type ship.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Is there anybody out of Pittsburgh right now that's bubbling
that we should know about?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean we signed the Homie fed to God Fire.
Yeah him hard oh hard has been hard thought but
he but yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Crazy though he had a record with twenty one Savage
like years ago. That was my ship.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
No hard hard for me.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
For me, Hardo is like the one that like I
seen him get better and better and he you know
what I mean, there's also the one homie. There's a
young Homievanessa Hardy.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
He's nice.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
He from my hood actually, and then there's just I
think his name is d Cools. I think he's dope
as hell, Like lyrical as fuck. He got some dope
music out, yeah, But for me, as far as the
look ecsthetic and like being around and moving around and
got better and grown from you know, just being around
him in the studio, I think like Hardo at this
(17:40):
point right now like really got it and got a
wave that he's moving on and he just needs to keep.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
How crazy is it for you to have been like
around mc millan early on, like I know, Wiz and
Mackworth like making as much music together as they probably
would have liked, but just to like see him be
like this. Obviously he was appreciate when he was here,
but I feel like after he passed he's kind of
become this like this fucking icon, like yeah, you know
(18:07):
like that and well deserved, like because his musically he
was one of the greats bro Like he could do
any sound Like I feel like he was ahead of
the curve on a lot of the sonics that he
was fucking with on his last couple of albums. But
it's just kind of crazy to think, like damn, like
this was just kind of turning into this like mythical
figure in music.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
No, he's he's like an angel over top of all
of this shit to me for sure, personally, Like because
I see the way that people react and feel and
cry and go through emotions and like stuff. That's that's
a different type of connect People can listen to you
all the time, they don't got to feel you though.
That's just for their airs, you know what I mean.
So I know that people, I know, people really really
(18:50):
like feel his presence when they listen to your music.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
And what point in time did you guys stop did
you guys go full papers and stop fucking with blunts?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And like, oh, I think when Currency and Wiz is
working on how Fly. So Wiz was in nor I
mean in New Orleans working on that with Currency, and
then he came back was like, na, we ain't doing
the Taylor Gang, we ain't doing the Blakers. Yeah, and
we was on like fifty boxes of Swishers type shit.
(19:20):
Been in the studio crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Because it's like everybody is off a fucking it's always
leafs backwards now.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Yeah, no, I do. We
gotta do the papers, man, It's just a cleaner smoke.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
It tastes the weed.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It's a cleaner smoke. And it's like you run and
keep running to the store. It's thirty two papers.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
In my pack.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I ain't got to really keep doing that.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, you get it for a couple of days, and
you know what I mean, while you didn't bought five
packs smoking.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
So yeah, this album is out, now, is there any
anything coming out? I mean, I'm sure you're sitting on
a ton of music.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I got projects, bro, Like I was in the studio
last night playing Problem Records and he was just like,
the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That's a problem And I'm just like, bro, Problem, like
a little fucking honorary tailor gang member.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, he's always been like even first like coming out
here WHEREZ introduced me to him and then we just
clicked and our birthdays that we found out yesterday five
days apart.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Now I'll be like, damn combat guys for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's like dope to see.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
How does it saying for you? Though? Like, what is it?
How do you know it's time to drop something new.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't know, yeh, you know what I mean. I
don't know. I like last year, I didn't drop anything.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I just got my chut, right, You're like, you know what,
I need to put something out on the fields.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't got to just keep going and keep going
and keep going, like I like for my ship to
be fresh. And I learned to not pluck records anymore.
I usually would do like that and just put it together,
make my own cover and put it some of them,
some of them projects, you see, like eight of them.
I made the cover of myself crazy, So like I
could just do it when I feel like it. But
at this point in my career, I gotta gotta count
(20:58):
and it got to mean something to me.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Do you ever look back at any of the old
day to day vlogs and also like realize you guys
kind of started the vlog trend in hip hop. It
was kind of you guys did it first. Man, Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I was in the studio when Twitter first, like with
Wiz when Twitter first came out and he was like,
there's this thing called Twitter. I'm about to take over
the internet with it. And this was after you stream Oh, yeah,
you stream was and he was on their first you
know what I mean. I mean he used to like
he used to like edit his own videos. We do
a show one night and we got to like take
an eight hour drive. He edited the day to day
(21:33):
and put it out like on the road type of crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So he was added into the early ones himself.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, and Will was filming them with one of those
little that's all.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We had, Yeah, into.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
The camera, into the fucking computer.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
What were the name of those cameras? Because I used
to shoot on my interviews on him. He was on
the side the little handheld.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, we used to plug that up edit, Yeah, and
then I should have be out the next day. That's
crazy on the internet, he was doing all ship like.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Early as fuck.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That ship's crazy, and we all just knew to just
be a part of it, you know what I mean,
Like just be ourselves, but also make sure you be
in the camera so that they see the whole lifestyle
type of ship.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, No, it was definitely early. You know those are
those are those Some of those bogs are vintage.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
As fucked super vintage.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And then I feel like I feel like hip hop
was like two years behind y'all because then the other
artists started doing it, but it was like, I mean,
he's still doing them.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I feel like, yeah, for sure, they just they just
look cleaner, they look for now, you know what I mean.
But that's just still there's always classic For sure?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is how how involved are you when it comes to like,
by the way, shout out to Wiz who just announced
Christian Orange us two hm, which I have to hear
because that means the expectations very high.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, for sure?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
How is that?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's crazy?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Is he working with Cardo again?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Is he look you look you want to be to say?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I don't know because I know that it's like working
together for a while.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, he could be. He could be.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I feel like, if you're gonna do it, they're going
to do that, do you know. I feel like, if
you're gonna call it that, it's gotta Yeah, it's gotta
sound a certain ways.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Certain vibes that you that you would expect, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
So it sounds good though, sounds good as fuck. Okay,
that's the one thing, because you know mixtape was is different.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Oh my mama, this is crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Like Taylor Alder dies and like some of the tapes.
I'm like, man, I'm glad some of those are on DSPs.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Now yeah mode right now, man, he's a Khalifa Jones,
Quincy Jones' nephew. He's really he really going in right
now with this one pause, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yeah, cushion orders too. When I saw that, I was like,
oh well.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
And then it's like, you know, if you're really gonna
take that chance at it?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, I try to deliver. There you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
My boy is my boy is He's gonna deliver?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Nineteen ninety eight is out. Yeah, people can go stream it.
Is there any murch or anything else that people can.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Just a tailor gang website? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I really like I love the music, man, I don't
care about all. I mean, of course we do that
when we feel like it and put together like that,
but it's the music for me at this point, you
know what I mean. Like, I really fell in love
with the shit that I do so all the country.
I got rock records, I got pop shit, I got
(24:25):
video game shit. Like I really fell in love with
this shit. And before I was just like.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Out here, well the new album is some rap shit.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah, super rap shit some raps.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
It's called nineteen ninety eight for a reason, and even
covers very It was very simple but hip hop cover,
yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
And my other cover is me as a baby and
this cover is me as a grown up. So I
thought about what I was doing.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Feel me go support the album nineteen ninety eight Heavy.
I appreciate you pulling up. Thank you, sir, my dog, Yes, sir,
Yo, what up is your boy Chevy Woods from the
Taylor Gang? You watching the Bootleg Calf podcast with your boy?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
What is the if somebody because a lot of people
getting their teeth done right now. Once that run somebody
obviously a normal person. If you were to pay full price,
you didn't. You told me you didn't pay full price.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, I mean it depends on if you hit, if
you're in the States, or if you fly out.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
So you went out of the country. Yeah, not the Turkey.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's for the hair Nahu Cali, Columbia.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
So what does that like? Run somebody? If I wanted
to get my teeth.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Done, probably like six to ten.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Ok, yours a good thank you. AD's look crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I mean, you know, I don't think they look crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I think they well, I feel like we're used to
them now, but when they went like I feel like
AD was like one of the first rappers to get
the Veneers for real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was just
one of the first guys. So when we first saw
those a dteth, it was like now we're used to them,
But initially it was a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Even my daughter was like, please don't come back with
no mister Ed's right.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You know what I mean. So I had to make
sure it was right.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, for sure. Was it painful?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I sat in the cheer for five hours the first
first time, then three hours, then two hours and two hours.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Did you have to like come home and then fly
back or was it all No?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
No, no, I was all doing the same week Jesus
shot to Columbia. Yeahever the nice ten piece and get right.
Yeh man, you just dropped your new album nineteen ninety eight,
which is why the ninety eight title. It's like around
the time where I first fell in love with like storytelling.
The music got it like big l you know, ghost Face, shit,
(01:49):
Nature forty first side, all of that Queens Beer, Queens
Bears was really like where I was looking, you know
what I mean, where I was listening to music, Nori
fucking a Z and like all of that shit type.
So I just wanted to do like an ode too,
you know what I mean, Like when I when I
fell in love with it. And another thing is is
it's my era of music, so I'm not trying to
(02:10):
not match with you know, my age ranging.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I feel like your last shit you were like
kind of like you've been doing a lot more experimenting
in the type of melodies and just dipping your toe
into like different sounds. But this is more like some
rap shit.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, because I structured it like that. I mean
I worked on the project from intro to and you
know what I mean, I wasn't just pulling records. I
was actually going to the studio doing them one by one.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
How many bodies of work do you have out? I
feel like it's a ship Ton twenty twenty My goodness.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, for sure, that is a lot spent a long
time two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Eight they're all on DSPs nah, I.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Think like three of them aren't, and then the rest are.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Three of them are on that PIF database. Summer.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, for sure. Kept the hustling, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Damn So yeah, ninety eight was it a hell of
your for hip hop? You know they always say ninety
four is like the best year, but I about say, like, yeah,
I mean ninety four was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, I think ninety eight ran into two thousand, so.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, I mean because then you get the rough Riders
ship in there, you get like fucking the locks you get.
I mean ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Was was.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No Way out Wait it was Puff Daddy ninety seven
or ninety.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, that was with them all walking like on the
album cover. Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah. And then No Limit Yeah, no, No Limit was
ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Sledgron had every plastic case.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, all of them, the orange one, the fucking c
Murder one, the Fiend one where I had all them shits, yo,
It's crazy, Like it sucks that, Like someone needs to
do that, because you know how it would be dropping vinyls.
Someone needs to do a hard album release that is
like a thousand copies and do it with those.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Cases like those bitches to be fire, and then you
get it for the case for real.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And then you'd like every every album, you'd open it
and it would say the five or four Boys album
was coming soon, but like it was like coming soon
for like three or four years, and then every new
album there'd be a different iteration of who was in
the Five or Four Boys, right for sure. There was
like one when they signed Snoop and then Snoop was
all of a sudden in the Five or Four Boys
Coming Soon album. I was like, oh shit, Snoops in
the Fiber four Boy and then yeah, damn the Five
(04:24):
of Four Boys shout.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Outs a mystical Yeah that shit was just ship right,
No shout out to them. Yeah, I'll let you have that.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Master p Man shouts shouts to master p Man. What
do you think about this whole beat that's going on
with the within hip hop right now? It's good?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, and it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't have no no opinion, like strong opinion about it.
I just like to hear what what's going on?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I think I'm I'm very kendrickal with my bias, but
I said this to you off the camera, like if
if Drake comes out of this like unscathed, he might
be the goat man and I'm not. I don't even
have him. I got him in like around ten because
I'm a hater.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I mean it's it's competitive.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
But like if this fools like the whole like he
posted that picture of Uma Thurman and kill Bill, that's
really what's happening right now? All his friends in the
rap game are against him, and everybody else is against him,
and it's just Drake and like Baka.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
But also I feel like I feel like in hip hop,
even though like we might have been younger, there was
situations like this. It' I mean, we might not be
able to name him, you know what I mean. There
might have been the situations where it was just that person.
I know, it happened in New York before. At some
point it might have been nothing. I mean, you gotta
think Drake is like the biggest rapper ever.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, no, the fifty thing. Everybody was against fifty for
sure before, but then he linked up with eminem But
when he did like how to Rob, but he was fifty,
he was on the come up, like he was not
working about Drake and Kendrickman and the Weekend is involved
that metro booming in future and asap Rocky and fucking
Jamarants catching strays. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's definitely crazy. You gotta be ducking out here.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
J Cole just said, my name's Bennett and I'm not
in it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
What you think about that?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I actually I was not as like, I feel like
people really took that and like really ran with it
in a way that I mean, Cole's obviously an energy
type of dude. He's kind of moved the way he's
moved with like not caring about anybody else and like
(06:41):
being super in his own vibe. So when he said like,
it just didn't sit right with my spirit, like I
think I think I respected it well.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
To me, then that's where you should have stayed.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I agree, But you know how it is, man, motherfucker's
being in your ear hyping you up crash out. But
he should. But but and that's the I mean, listen
from the hip hop perspective, I would have liked to
have seen Cole like fully engage. Yeah, and too, I
thought I thought that what he said on that record
was just like a nice like, but I don't think
(07:15):
he believed anything he said. Damn, I don't think he
believes that. Kendrick's just like he doesn't think the to
Pimper Butterfly is that that was like, you don't you
don't even believe that to be true? Like Top Butterfly
is a fucking in my opinion, of course, I mean
the albums that like incredible, even his last album that
(07:35):
everyone's saying. I mean, bitch, the album's platinum. He sold
out a whole tour and I still listen to that
on this fucking day. So I don't think he believed.
Because the thing about Kendrick, unlike Drake, I don't know
how much you could say about Kendrick Lamarer outside. Maybe
he didn't have a favorable deal with TD back in
the day he left. Obviously he's with PG Lane, he's
got his own thing, and he's short. Because that's really
(07:58):
all they said. What else can you say about? He's
so out the way, he's so private that I don't
know what else you could say. Drake's shit is so
out there that there's so many things you can mention.
And that's why I'm just I want to see what I.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Like to hear what you got to say, because I
don't got a horse in the rais, and.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It sound like you do.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, my horse is always I mean, I just think
Kendrick is, you know, one of the most prolific, incredible
artists musically musically.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Your giography, well, I'm just saying you're excited about how
it's going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I also think if we're going right now and this
is without hearing anything Kendrick saying next, I think it's
pretty close because I like Drake's record a lot, and
I also thought it was fucking hilarious. I know some
people thought it was corny, but I actually thought it
was funny that what he said to his mom about
Rick Ross. I thought that shit was comedy. I was like, man, mom,
(08:49):
you know the guy you see the songs with, He's
he's really hungry, he gets angry, and.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
To me, that felt like, I don't know, that felt
like something I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I like seeing like put a record out and then
play in the internet shit too.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But they played a different world. You feel me like.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Rick Ross's you know Rick Ross's He's the ultimate troll
for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
This is right up his alley.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, he's been waiting for this. I actually think that
Rick Ross record was already a record and he just
added the end part. M hmm, because if you listen
to it, it doesn't sound very The rapping part of
that song isn't very direct. H It's very like it
just sounds like it was a Rick Ross song that
was sub and Drake and then he was just like, hey,
let me throw in these I think he had the
(09:33):
first part of that and then the outro where he's
talking about him getting a BBL. I think all that
was just added and they put it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Out, but it sounds cohesive.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It does shout out to Ross. I wish his rapping
would have been more direct. He did the outro where
he was like, you know, that's why I fucked you, bitch,
you fat motherfucker type shit. You know, but it's like
I would, I would, you know. The raw shit was cool.
I'm not. I wasn't too impressed by the Ross record,
to be honest. It was funny.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Is do a quality too for you?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I just thought that when I heard Drake shit Drake specifically,
he specifically name names. He was very direct. Ross was
talking shit when the beat was riding.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now, I mean well, Ross also said, you grab a
sea is going to be a long game.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It's just the first quarter, which I'm looking give me
the second.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Quarter, all right, man, I agree, I wont if.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Drake's I mean, look, man, I'm telling you, if Drake
comes out of this ship and he's looking good, I
got nothing else to say, He's the goat because I
the one thing that disappointed me with Drake was he
didn't reply to Push Your Tea Like Push Your T's
dis record was so powerful it a child gained a
father in this world. Damn, that's crazy, that's crazy. It's true.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh my god, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
A kid is growing up with his dad in his
life because of Push Your Tea right now.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You don't think they would have had his dad without it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I don't think he'd be putting out records. I don't
think the little dude would have had a freestyle out
and be like hanging out, like getting Nike deals. Push
Your Tea ruined an Adida's deal and expose the child.
No smoke for him.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He ruined an Adida's deal, but didn't get a bigger
deal with Nike.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
No one's wearing those Nikes. Don't know anybody wearing them.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
But did he get a bigger deal? He might.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I think you'd rather have the Nike deal if you're
Drake anyway, Yeah, for sure, shout out to Drake man.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think no horse on the raised neither. I just
want to hear the music.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Look, I'm telling you, if you just take like that,
like that's a better song. Obviously it's a number one record.
In the country. It's a fucking banger. But if you
were to just take Kendrick's verse and Drake's verse or
Drake's shit, I think it's a toss up. I fuck
with Drake. I think Drake surprised me, and but he can't.
There's nothing else he could say about Kendrick.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, the quotables matched up, and I feel like a
mag was dumped.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So got to figure out to me Kendrick thing is
just like, hey, man, you got to call top Dog
for permission. You did a song with Taylor Swift that
by the way, there's a video of Drake dancing to
in a commercial and you're short, all right, Yeah, I
don't know what else you got.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, we ain't gonna know.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
We don't find out. Man, you've ever been involved I
mean obviously you almost you know. I mean they've been
involved in some street ship, but yeah, but have you
ever been involved in like an on record no beef.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
In the street and when I was coming up in
the hood type ship but right, but.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Not since you guys have like nah, I feel like
anytime there's ever been any even with Wiz, like any
static with like other artists, like it's never like this
wiz just don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, you don't give a fuck, and it's like it
was like it's peace because it ain't nothing going, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Right, it's the right players around, right exactly? Who else
on the project? I met a couple of.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Feature I just did my homie Boas from uh Pittsburgh
and then I got smoked this on it for shore
me and bo was in the group back in the
day and he was like my favorite rapper from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So that's a blog era fucking Pittsburgh rap. So for sure,
is there anything like for you that you feel like
you still want to accomplish in the rap game that like,
you know, because you you've running up this independent catalog,
But like, is there like anything new? Like I know
you were talking about trying to like write for other
(13:32):
people and like doing stuff like that. Is there like
anything else you want to try to check off the list?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I mean, not really in in in rap for really,
you know what I mean. I put out two albums.
You know, it could have been a point where I
didn't get no albums and everything was a mixtape, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So I'm thankful for that. In the writing world. I've been.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I've been in Nashville, you know, tapping into the county country,
you know what I mean, Like not even like playing
around neither. I mean like really right that ship and
crafting it the right way to move and not for
no pat on my back. But three years ago I
put out Escape, which to you know what I mean,
was already so I always tell people like I was
already trying to get world. Yeah, that world. So I
(14:14):
went down to Nashville. I met with my boy Red Faarn.
He got this song called Jack and Dye Coke that's
real popping right now. And we just wrote and then
I wrote in some other sessions and then we linked
and and you know, once I got the vibe of
how to go about it and put records together, it's
a whole.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
World out there.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
It's like Nashville is, like the music industry is, it's
its own. Like you know, we think of New York
and La. Neither of those places matter in country. No,
Like Nashville has just secluded its own industry. They got
their own people, their own studios, their own a and rs.
They don't give a funk about New York. To give
a fuck about LA. Most of the executives on both
(14:53):
of those sides, and they got their own executives.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Then all of all of the music spot for music
or like it's called music row. Everything's right there anyway,
you know what I mean. So you go to you
go to Broadway to party, but the.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Music, all the studios are in the offices and all
that shout out to jelly Roll. Man, I guess that
foe has gotten me in the country music.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yea jelly Roll is to homie having a run.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yes he is.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Some wedding bands trying to sue him. What there's a
wedding band named jelly Roll that is trying to sue
him right now? Wow? Good luck. Yeah, it's over. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Money long can.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Forget about it?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Can forget about it?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
What about uh? For you? Like? Uh? Is there any yo?
There was?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
This?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Is there ever gonna be a fucking Taylor Gang album?
There's tons of songs for it?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, we I mean we did the one and that
was with Atlantic at the time.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
But was that that came out on DSPs?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Oh ship, I thought that was just a mixtape.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
No, that came out on DSPs. I don't know, man,
I think we're all at a point where it can
happen whenever. But everybody's working on their own thing. I
always tell people that once the brand is built, it's
it's on us and the people that we signed and
the people that's a part of it to make branches
and you know, create new leafs and shit in new life.
(16:20):
So like that's my thing. We're gonna go do the
country writing or trying to write for other artists and
you know things, getting those rooms and stuff like that,
starting our gaming company and like things like so it's
like just doing stuff to keep it going, you know
what I mean, because we all having kids and like
ship like that, you want to have something to show,
something to give, you know, generational type ship.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Is there anybody out of Pittsburgh right now that's bubbling
that we should know about?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean we signed the Homie fed to God Fire.
Yeah him hard oh hard has been hard thought but
he but yeah for sure.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Crazy though he had a record with twenty one Savage
like years ago. That was my ship.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
No hard hard for me.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
For me, Hardo is like the one that like I
seen him get better and better and he you know
what I mean, there's also the one homie. There's a
young Homievanessa Hardy.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
He's nice.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
He from my hood actually, and then there's just I
think his name is d Cools. I think he's dope
as hell, Like lyrical as fuck. He got some dope
music out, yeah, But for me, as far as the
look ecsthetic and like being around and moving around and
got better and grown from you know, just being around
him in the studio, I think like Hardo at this
(17:40):
point right now like really got it and got a
wave that he's moving on and he just needs to keep.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
How crazy is it for you to have been like
around mc millan early on, like I know, Wiz and
Mackworth like making as much music together as they probably
would have liked, but just to like see him be
like this. Obviously he was appreciate when he was here,
but I feel like after he passed he's kind of
become this like this fucking icon, like yeah, you know
(18:07):
like that and well deserved, like because his musically he
was one of the greats bro Like he could do
any sound Like I feel like he was ahead of
the curve on a lot of the sonics that he
was fucking with on his last couple of albums. But
it's just kind of crazy to think, like damn, like
this was just kind of turning into this like mythical
figure in music.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
No, he's he's like an angel over top of all
of this shit to me for sure, personally, Like because
I see the way that people react and feel and
cry and go through emotions and like stuff. That's that's
a different type of connect People can listen to you
all the time, they don't got to feel you though.
That's just for their airs, you know what I mean.
So I know that people, I know, people really really
(18:50):
like feel his presence when they listen to your music.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
And what point in time did you guys stop did
you guys go full papers and stop fucking with blunts?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And like, oh, I think when Currency and Wiz is
working on how Fly. So Wiz was in nor I
mean in New Orleans working on that with Currency, and
then he came back was like, na, we ain't doing
the Taylor Gang, we ain't doing the Blakers. Yeah, and
we was on like fifty boxes of Swishers type shit.
(19:20):
Been in the studio crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Because it's like everybody is off a fucking it's always
leafs backwards now.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Yeah, no, I do. We
gotta do the papers, man, It's just a cleaner smoke.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
It tastes the weed.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It's a cleaner smoke. And it's like you run and
keep running to the store. It's thirty two papers.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
In my pack.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I ain't got to really keep doing that.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, you get it for a couple of days, and
you know what I mean, while you didn't bought five
packs smoking.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
So yeah, this album is out, now, is there any
anything coming out? I mean, I'm sure you're sitting on
a ton of music.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I got projects, bro, Like I was in the studio
last night playing Problem Records and he was just like,
the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That's a problem And I'm just like, bro, Problem, like
a little fucking honorary tailor gang member.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, he's always been like even first like coming out
here WHEREZ introduced me to him and then we just
clicked and our birthdays that we found out yesterday five
days apart.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Now I'll be like, damn combat guys for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's like dope to see.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
How does it saying for you? Though? Like, what is it?
How do you know it's time to drop something new.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't know, yeh, you know what I mean. I
don't know. I like last year, I didn't drop anything.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I just got my chut, right, You're like, you know what,
I need to put something out on the fields.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't got to just keep going and keep going
and keep going, like I like for my ship to
be fresh. And I learned to not pluck records anymore.
I usually would do like that and just put it together,
make my own cover and put it some of them,
some of them projects, you see, like eight of them.
I made the cover of myself crazy, So like I
could just do it when I feel like it. But
at this point in my career, I gotta gotta count
(20:58):
and it got to mean something to me.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Do you ever look back at any of the old
day to day vlogs and also like realize you guys
kind of started the vlog trend in hip hop. It
was kind of you guys did it first. Man, Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I was in the studio when Twitter first, like with
Wiz when Twitter first came out and he was like,
there's this thing called Twitter. I'm about to take over
the internet with it. And this was after you stream Oh, yeah,
you stream was and he was on their first you
know what I mean. I mean he used to like
he used to like edit his own videos. We do
a show one night and we got to like take
an eight hour drive. He edited the day to day
(21:33):
and put it out like on the road type of crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So he was added into the early ones himself.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah, and Will was filming them with one of those
little that's all.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We had, Yeah, into.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
The camera, into the fucking computer.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
What were the name of those cameras? Because I used
to shoot on my interviews on him. He was on
the side the little handheld.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, we used to plug that up edit, Yeah, and
then I should have be out the next day. That's
crazy on the internet, he was doing all ship like.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Early as fuck.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That ship's crazy, and we all just knew to just
be a part of it, you know what I mean,
Like just be ourselves, but also make sure you be
in the camera so that they see the whole lifestyle
type of ship.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, No, it was definitely early. You know those are
those are those Some of those bogs are vintage.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
As fucked super vintage.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And then I feel like I feel like hip hop
was like two years behind y'all because then the other
artists started doing it, but it was like, I mean,
he's still doing them.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I feel like, yeah, for sure, they just they just
look cleaner, they look for now, you know what I mean.
But that's just still there's always classic For sure?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Is how how involved are you when it comes to like,
by the way, shout out to Wiz who just announced
Christian Orange us two hm, which I have to hear

to do that, do you know. I feel like, if
you're gonna call it that, it's gotta Yeah, it's gotta
sound a certain ways.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Certain vibes that you that you would expect, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
