That does happen right in a partnership, Because this is
a partnership, This is a brotherhood, right, a team.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
At the end of the day, we're right. But that
doesn't necessarily mean we always agree.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
No.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yeah, I think that's what makes us a great duo
because it balances, it balances out. It's like Yan and Yang.
You know what I'm saying yeah, no, no, no, no, there's.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Got to be some friction. But I like the strip
club stuff. It's just I gotta be in a certain
headspace for it, you know. Yeah, But I like going
to the strip club. And it's cool you have a
song that they could potentially play at the strip club.
It's a good test too, right music.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
When your music is played the strip club and you
look around, it's.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
A good testing Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's that's definitely
the testing ground. That's when you know you got to
slap around your hands when you start seeing the girls
shaking some mass.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Go to Sam's today, Man, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You free man.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
What about when we leave the country, are we are?
We also like checking out strip clubs outside of the country.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Super when I leave the country, definitely, Man, we might,
we might hit. We might do a little Bible study.
You know what I'm saying right before the show Bible study.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, exactly, that's a strip club. Man, I go to
the hotel, the stage, go back to the hotel. That's right,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
We're focused, We're focused. Yody Landia, I congratulates.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Thank you, yody land Yeah bars quality music, man, Yeah,
for sure, I.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Think every time you guys come up here, honestly, dog
from our heart, and I know I speak for the
whole team. Every time you guys come up here, another
level has been.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Reached, right, Yeah, man, appreciate that. Bro, you need more candy,
more candy please. Look, we have him around.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah, he's not only the belt bear, He's also the
candy bear. Yeah, the candy man.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's always like your next move got to be your
best move, you know, like interesting in this day and age,
it's like you could put out a slapper that goes crazy.
Two weeks later people are like, all right, what you got?
They forget?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yeah, everybody's attention span is a lot shorter now and
it's a gifting a curse with the internet and the phone.
But you know, we've been consistent for years and it's
just something that we know how to do now. It's
like breathing, you know what I mean. So, so we're
in a comfortable space where we could just put out work, NonStop,
quality work too. I feel like Yodi Landia is probably
(05:31):
our best work to date, and it came pretty natural
to us, Like it's just what we're used to doing.
Like I said, like this is like breathing air, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Things were different when I heard See of Darkness.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh man, you've heard that one.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, bro, I got the project on that.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You've seen the video? Hey, you know what, I accidentally
leaked it. When we announced the album cover, instead of
putting the pre saved, I put the drop box. He
put the Masters up. They were up for like an hour.
Good Man, Mike how they called me like man like
(06:08):
a water park. So I was ignoring everybody, but they're
blowing me up. Somebody's got to be important. He's like, bro,
you just put up the Masters on the thing. I'm like,
oh no, So I deleted them, but not too many
people downloaded them. I don't except for Cruise and maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah yeah to me.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know YouTube, it's on Spotify and you know, but
we kind of detached ourselves too from like results sometimes,
like you get so like focused on like the result,
especially when you do something that goes crazy, like you
start getting used to it, and then it's like, you know,
this industry is like a roller coaster. So when you
detach yourself from it, that's when you're like in a
(06:48):
perative freedom because you're like you don't care, like it
does well, cool if it don't next, you know, and
once we figured that out, like cool stuff just keeps
happening because even if it does and go crazy like
which we do be going crazy a lot of times.
But yeah, people just see it's always quality, Like, no
matter what it is, we're gonna put our quality stuff,
and the more cool stuff we do, the more cool
(07:10):
stuff keeps happening.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
So yeah, and in the journey, Yeah, yeah, sir, it's
all about the journey. And I think what's happening with
you guys is something extremely brilliant. I think your path
is the longest path right right, the shortest right longevity,
it's quickness, which it's all good for something, right Yeah. Yeah,
for sure your path is a bit longer and it's
gonna take even more time, which even greater.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
We got more time to be great.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, well, building it brick by brick fur the longevity.
You know what I'm saying, We're in it for the
long run and that's why we do it. And we
care about this ship. So you know what I'm saying,
we're putting our best foot forward and that's what this
project is is Yodilandia drops on Friday.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Right, Yeah, but say he's already out by the time
it's out now nothing but slappers.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But and the album cover, let's talk about it real quick, man.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So you know it's pretty much we've talked about it before,
like like the hardest let me just put that out.
Look at that ship.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Bro, it's like putting out vinyls too.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That's right, it's time putting out vinyls. But we kind
of want to put on like, bro, we we are
a part of this country, like we're American, uh, and
we're always being left out of the story. And you know,
we like to rep the Mexican flag and stuff like that,
but we have to let people know like now we're
from here, we've been here. We're gonna set our flag,
our stamp in this country too. Like it's important to
(08:38):
show people that that that Mexican Americans or Latino Americans
are like you know, like we're here, we're not going
nowhere type stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
So even though we get treated like America's step children,
you know what I'm saying, but whereas American as apple pie.
And that's what we wanted to showcase on them album cover.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, and it's a powerful image, you know, burning the
dollar a little so you know, a little subtle anarchy
in it. Yeah, which the album has like a little
undertone of like anarchy vibes and stuff like that, anti established.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
I think some of that has felt you. I mean
it felt throughout the entire album Product of Immigration. You
really feel it in the song, you know, you're like,
I'm a wet back, I'm a bean and.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So well, yeah, exactly exactly. Man, just just kind of
I have a bar too. I say natives saw More
American and Hulk Hogan like, we're native to this place,
you know, Like so they just always try to make
us feel like outsider, but really we've been here.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Native American means first, Yeah, exactly, so.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
We've been here. We're not going nowhere. And it's about time,
like we pushed the line like in this country because
this is where we live, and when we don't know
our history, they're able to switch it and make us
feel like alien to this this land. So we're kind
of putting that on our backs. It's like, naw, you
ain't gonna fool us and try to exclude us from
this country. Like we contribute a lot. We're going to
continue to contribute a lot, and it's up to us
(09:54):
to really put it in people's face. They like it
or not.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah, this is like America's worst nightmare right here. It's like,
that's what it represents now, the New Age, America's worst nightmare.
This is what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, this is America.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Wow, you guys make such creative music too, man, and
I read that you guys are not necessarily in the
studio at the same time.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
When you guys will create creating.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Music most of the time we're not. Is that just
this look.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here with this kid.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Sometimes I got kids too, and life be lifing, you
know what I mean. So that's why we got our
own home base, our own home studios, so we could
come in when we got the time and then knock
out whatever we got to knock out, and then just
leave the files there. I'll leave the session open and
then by the time he gets in there, he'll see
what I did and then go in there and cook
up it works.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, yeah exactly. Sometimes if it's like a certain feature
or something, we're like, we got to get in there
together just to make sure that we're both on point.
We hold each other accountable for every bar and stuff
like that. But yeah, so we'll get it in when
we can, like let's say I got todrop them off
at school. I'll drop them off, I got like an hour,
three hours to spare, I'll go in there real quick,
(11:05):
and I go back and pick them up. So it's
just like whenever we find a.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Time, we get in this all time management, man, and
there's no excuses, Like look at this guy. He brought
his fucking kid to j Cruz ninety two point three.
It's no excuses, man, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we got a
barbershop as well. Yeah, we own a barbershop that was
also a few cutting head early Yeah, yeah, Early. You
(11:30):
know what I'm saying. You need to have money to
invest in your career, you know what I'm saying. And
that was a job that allowed us to be ourselves.
You come as you are, dress however you want to dress.
You know what I'm saying. You don't got to be
in a cubicle, and you can make your own schedule.
So whenever we had to do a show, whenever we
had to go to the studio, we just block our
schedule out and then go handle it. You know what
(11:51):
I'm saying. Yeah, man, And yeah, barbershop gets you a
lot of freedom, and it's a hubble culture.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You can test the music there. You know what I'm saying,
Let's watch the barbershop got you know what I'm so
just all in all like barbershop culture. Hip hop culture
is like you know, so you need a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Did we ever think that you were going to be
in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, that was the first dream. So we realized, damn,
we're Mexican.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We might not make it.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Man, we chose the wrong sport. We might stop growing
at like six to one, and that's exactly what happened.
It's good enough, but you gotta be a beat. You
got animal, man, You gotta be.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Fast as hell. You gotta be a I level, which
was possible, but.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Nah no we don't.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
No more so often but.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Very very I got bad knees, man, I got That's
why they make it to the league.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Man, I say, we got to set up a game,
man guard.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Let's do it. You guys play block the whole thing.
Holy shit, I'm gonna let my kids up in yo.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Yeah make I don't want to see his kids though,
broll them up.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Hold today eighteen. It's all oh yeah, yeah, there are animals.
We get dunked on for sure. Hey, I thought I
still had it. At one Christmas with one of my
younger cousins, he's like six or four. I was popping
all this.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Started kicking in.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I'm still flat out. He was Kobe, I ain't played
in five years, and I bet you I'll still got you.
He's like, let's run it the whole Christmas, ruining everybody's Christmas.
And then we play this for smokes me.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I go, you out there looking like oncoming straight on.
Once they started blocking the shots, I was like, you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Love you, I'm trunk. You love me. I'm trunk, man,
that's what I'm sober.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, Yo, talk to us about minor setbacks.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Minor setbacks, man, Dang, it's just going through some per stuff,
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and just
holding yourself accountable and knowing that you got to make
some changes, you know what I mean. I felt like
that's one of the songs that was most honest in
the project.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
That was That was fourth quarter right there. The album
was pretty much done and I was coming off of
a three day bender.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
When I heard it was then and then it was
just it's just what happened, man, That's what came out
and I was like, damn, this is kind of hard.
And then he heard it and jumped on it and
made it ten times better. That's my favorite song made
the cut.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, just could have. I like songs like that, like
the As soon as I heard it, I was going,
I have to change some bars because I got a
little I was a little too person on some of
the stuff. Yeah, So you know, sometimes you get in
your head. I was going through some with wife and
sh it. I was like, man, I'm about to go
in on this one, but I was like, nah, I
got the divorce papers ready right now. About that. You know,
(15:01):
sometimes when they tell you your truth too, you don't
want to hear it. So with this, with this industry,
it comes with a lot of uh, disappointments, maybe with
with with your personal life because you gotta sometimes put
the business first. And some of the stuff I was saying,
it's some real, some real ship, Like I cannot come
home tonight. My wife's probably not even gonna text me.
She will just because I'm with my son right now.
(15:22):
But it's they're so used to you just not coming
home or and sometimes it may they might not be
upset at the work but it comes out in other ways,
like and sometimes like you know, your ego comes out
and you feel away because in your mind you're like, man,
I'm fucking you think I want to be doing this
ship all the time. Like I'm tired. I want to
come home, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
But it's sacrifices though. Man, the sacrifices it takes to
be an artist, and it takes a lot of thick
skin to be able to deal with somebody who's an artist.
That's why you know, sure, I'm probably gonna die a loan.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So that verse was very therapeutic for me. Man, when
I wrote that verse, I have to like get it out.
I was like that felt good.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
So you guys think you still are struggling to find
that balance within personal and.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I think I do a pretty good job at it.
But I become the sacrificial land. Like it's like I'm
doing that. I'm running on no sleep because I'm not
going to be a deadbeat or like I'm gonna do
what i gotta do. So if I got to sacrifice me,
that's what I'm gonna do. So I feel like I
found a balance, which is there is no balance like
if you got to run on three hours and you
(16:30):
got what you gotta do.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
You gotta think a lot of people that are, you know,
in front of the stage, their family.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Life always always feels it has to feel the sacrifice,
you know, even before fans.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, one hundred percent. And you know again, take someone
with thin skin and I think, as long as you
do what you gotta do, because there is time to
do all of it. Maybe you might have like a
week or two where you're super busy and you're slacking
on the family department, but you just got to pencil
it in like you do everything else. You know what
I'm saying, There's time for all of it. You just
gotta make the time.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Give a wish like that, if like give it wish
that you had a U.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, tenemy.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's why at that bar, like I'm hustling like the
three of me, I'm a rap Mick Foley, Like sometime
I'll be feeling like that, like but you know, it's
it's all paying off and at the end of the day,
this is what's important to me, like right here, So
I gotta make the time. That's just where I'm at
with it.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Yeah, for sure, man, running off Phase is crazy phase
man with the god him see himself solute. Yeah, I
had the best verse on that song. I would like
to say so myself.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know what I mean. But I think I think
so too. That's right, willing to say. I thought he
got it. Everyone did their.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Thing though, But you know, I'm so already a legend
in this ship.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So you know everybody.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
He got Verse of the Month from Genius off that
verse and it was it was a fire record, man.
And he's gonna be at the at the show too

Speaker 5 (18:33):

five to the one on one.
Speaker 1 (18:40):

and show out and they turn up. They have a
different kind of value for hip hop hip hop world
than it is here, or at least it feels like it,
because they go out there to funck ship up like
they're ready to turn up and you tell them open
the pit, they're opening it, you know what I'm saying.

Like we're not the hard as you are you perform, Yeah, exactly.
It's a lot of that. But we be cracking through
it though, and we still pople to participate. But it's
not like over there, it's not even a question. You
don't have to try it all. Yeah, Like LA is
still our biggest Our biggest market is here in LA.
But you know, you go over there, Bro, it's different.
(21:14):
You know where I think white boys, Well it's Mexico.
Oh yeah, I gotta go out there. You're talking about
Mexico City Show. I'll be crazy, Yeah, especially to like, uh,
the white audience in LA is ready to rage something
like the Latino audience sometimes, like we're just telling I
got a drink in my hand. I'm not trying to
(21:34):
spill it. But so you gotta read the room. But
but sometimes I don't even care if they're not ready
to march. He'll try to talk to me out of it.
Sometimes on stage, he's like, bro, don't do it. I'm like,
I'm doing it, so then I just stopped doing it.
I'll talk to them like Hey, like one of the
two things that's gonna happen, either y'all going mash with
me or I'm as by myself like I don't give
a fuck, like I'm here to have fun, like the
(21:56):
end of the show like that, and and ten times
out of ten they joined the man a rage.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, would you experience or experiment with rock?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
We just actually did something with a with a band
called This Mady and it came out pretty far. Yeah,
they're they're killing it in the underground world, but yeah,
for sure, we're definitely open open to it. You'll probably
hear some stuff in the near future with some rock
for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Sure. That's mother that looked them up. They're dope killing
there shows. Rock shows is different. They're the ragers showing
up bro. Yeah. Yeah, they might get punched in the face. Yeah,
their fits are different. They'll do it at McDonald's. I
don't know if you've been seeing that band that goes
to McDonald's, that's right and start going crazy crazy McDonald's.
(22:42):
That's cool, man. I like that. I like that energy.
So it's like, how do you bring that to hip hop? Right, Like,
at least the middle ground, So I think that's where
we are the middle ground. That's why I think they
reached out to us because it kind of makes sense.
It doesn't, but it does, Like I.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Think it makes sense.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's ritt and there's that sound right
and matched with that kind of vibe, I think.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It works very well.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah, yeah for sure. Yeah, we got some stuff coming man,
and then your future.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I want to flip that one. What's that song? Like
my eyes feel like they're gunn I believe Green Day.
I started writing a verse to that riff because that
riff was so hard green Day. Yeah, I with all
that ship green Day, you know, fucking uh my system
of a down fing uh Offspring even like Offspring hard
(23:34):
bro rocking. Yeah, Cranberry's dumb for sure. Nirvana Cranberry are
hard that project like that, Nah, that would be crazy, Yeah,
that would make sense someone like Travis, you know, it
makes sense hard.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I was listening to cold Play on the way up here,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, yeah. I don't really listen to hip hop a
lot nowadays, is that right? Yeah? Like I do, but
it's like when I'm chilling in the car, like I
like to hear like either easy listening or like right
now I'm on my eighties bag, so I'm listening to
like the Cure and ship like that. Yeah. Yeah, sad
boys Ship, brot, sad boy Ship, hell A sad boy Ship,
(24:18):
sadass forever.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
His favorite song right now is sweet. Somebody got to
sample that right there? Man, exact you've written. I'm sure
it's been sampled before.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Sample.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, plenty of times. That's like a forever joint, right
for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You guys are really close.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Who I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I don't think we'll I don't think neither of us
will say I'm sorry. It's just kind of we keep
it pushing. It's like better left than said. But we
both understand, like, I'm sorry, bro, it's all right.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We've only had like one big ass argument we had.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
We had an argument in the middle of a wedding
one time. I stormed off.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He was drunk. I was drunk. He threw that means
like I don't want this ship? Is you want this ship?
Fuck you all quick? Yeah? That was before like that.
We're still going through some stuff, you know, in the
industry stuff, And that was before we really cracked the
code on how to like do it independently. Like we
were starting to figure it out. It was a lot
of frustration. We're going through a lot personally, plus the industry,
(25:22):
plus the world, the climbate of the world. So we
we definitely don't touch that.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
We definitely like blew up in front of the whole
family and everyone everyone. It wasn't even our close family,
it was like extended family, like.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Like we knew you, we knew you shitting invited those
motherfuckers and then one of them was like, exactly, you see,
this is why I never invite Ricky. We had this
argument on air yesterday. So maybe you guys can put
your two cents in I'm wrong and I'm sorry the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh yeah, I think so, yeah, because you're owning up
to it, like I was wrong. Yeah, if you're It
depends how you say I was wrong. You can say
I was wrong, so what I'm not sorry?
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I feel like, yeah, I feel like I would rather
say I was wrong and then say I'm sorry. You
know what I'm saying, like I'm sorry, Yeah, you are sorry.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You suck, But sometimes you're sorry and you're not really wrong,
you know, you be like you know what, I'm sorry
for whatever, Like it was uncalled for maybe I should
my delivery was wrong or right.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
That's what I'm working on right now.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
With my fucking girl. Like sometimes I just be like,
right now, my patience is like paper thing like with accountability,
Like I feel like I'm very accountable. So if somebody
doesn't show it, like I was just like telling them
their truths, but in like harsh, harshly, and I'd be like, damn,
I was uncalled for. You know what I'm saying. So
I apologize not I want.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I mean that he was wrong, sorry, but I
wasn't wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I wouldn't say in the truth, Sorry, it wasn't un
called for. I apologize. You don't deserve that, Yeah, but
you know what I'm saying. But I wouldn't be like
I was wrong. But you know they don't deserve like
to you know, get snapped me. I want, man, of course,
But sometimes I am wrong.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Though that I'm wrong ninety nine percent of the time,
right you feel me? I'm sorry? Yeah that makes any sense?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh yeah, fifty percent of the time you stand on it.
I don't know. Fuck I was wrong. I don't give
a ship.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You needed to hear that guy, big cat vibes bro Hey.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Meet the lambs crazy to meet the lands man. Yeah,
some some some woke ship from some ignorant motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah. Yeah, I just feel like it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, I feel like again go back to accountability. Like
so often I right now, I have like an internal
battle like of what I say or what I stand for,
and sometimes like I'll say ship, I'm like like I
got to balance the force, so I can't just be
pure ignorant. Man, I do be feeling like that like
those songs is like, man, I gotta be more more present,
(28:08):
more intentional, like with the time if I do have
only a little bit of time with my son or whoever,
like be present, like put your fucking phone down, like
look at your kid in the fucking face, like go
do shit with them. Like it's easy to just get
lost in the matrix, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And I've been there. I've been there, like I'm with
my son and then like I just get on my
phone and I look up. Yeah, I can't find all
ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Especially in our world. You know, it's like a part
of our job is the internet, so you can get
sucked into it, like and you're not only like consuming,
but you're a part of like contributing to it, so
it's easy to get super lost in it.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
It was just awareness, that's what it was. Just trying
to put awareness on the track on the record, you
know what I mean. And I eat the most junk
food of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm eating bullshit. My
verse was about eating healthy. But it's just you know,
like you said, being accountable, Yeah, and making better choices,
you know what I mean, That's what it was about.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, it sounds like you guys are looking in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You got to, man, and if you
can't do that, that's when you really lost in the sauce.
Like again, going back to being accountable. Like we're human,
so we all have both sides in us, Like we
have the good and the bad, like everybody does. There's
not a human alive that's all one thing. So it's
just kind of like again, looking at yourself in the
(29:31):
mirror and just trying to do better. That's all you
can do is try to do better. And then my music,
like I have to incorporate the other side, like as
far as I'm concerned, like I have to, and I
have kids, man, I want them to when they hear
my ship when they're older, like to see the balance, like, oh,
my dad, wasn't all one thing right? Right? Like you
(29:52):
could I could kick game like nah, Like they could
listen to it and hear different layers and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, when he watches this ten he's from now, Yeah,

And he's like, come on, let's go to the script

Speaker 6 (01:54):
That does happen right in a partnership, Because this is
a partnership, This is a brotherhood, right, a team.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
At the end of the day, we're right. But that
doesn't necessarily mean we always agree.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
No.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yeah, I think that's what makes us a great duo
because it balances, it balances out. It's like Yan and Yang.
You know what I'm saying yeah, no, no, no, no, there's.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Got to be some friction. But I like the strip
club stuff. It's just I gotta be in a certain
headspace for it, you know. Yeah, But I like going
to the strip club. And it's cool you have a
song that they could potentially play at the strip club.
It's a good test too, right music.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
When your music is played the strip club and you
look around, it's.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
A good testing Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's that's definitely
the testing ground. That's when you know you got to
slap around your hands when you start seeing the girls
shaking some mass.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Go to Sam's today, Man, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You free man.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
What about when we leave the country, are we are?
We also like checking out strip clubs outside of the country.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Super when I leave the country, definitely, Man, we might,
we might hit. We might do a little Bible study.
You know what I'm saying right before the show Bible study.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, exactly, that's a strip club. Man, I go to
the hotel, the stage, go back to the hotel. That's right,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
We're focused, We're focused. Yody Landia, I congratulates.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Thank you, yody land Yeah bars quality music, man, Yeah,
for sure, I.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Think every time you guys come up here, honestly, dog
from our heart, and I know I speak for the
whole team. Every time you guys come up here, another
level has been.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Reached, right, Yeah, man, appreciate that. Bro, you need more candy,
more candy please. Look, we have him around.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah, he's not only the belt bear, He's also the
candy bear. Yeah, the candy man.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's always like your next move got to be your
best move, you know, like interesting in this day and age,
it's like you could put out a slapper that goes crazy.
Two weeks later people are like, all right, what you got?
They forget?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yeah, everybody's attention span is a lot shorter now and
it's a gifting a curse with the internet and the phone.
But you know, we've been consistent for years and it's
just something that we know how to do now. It's
like breathing, you know what I mean. So, so we're
in a comfortable space where we could just put out work, NonStop,
quality work too. I feel like Yodi Landia is probably
(05:31):
our best work to date, and it came pretty natural
to us, Like it's just what we're used to doing.
Like I said, like this is like breathing air, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Things were different when I heard See of Darkness.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh man, you've heard that one.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, bro, I got the project on that.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You've seen the video? Hey, you know what, I accidentally
leaked it. When we announced the album cover, instead of
putting the pre saved, I put the drop box. He
put the Masters up. They were up for like an hour.
Good Man, Mike how they called me like man like
(06:08):
a water park. So I was ignoring everybody, but they're
blowing me up. Somebody's got to be important. He's like, bro,
you just put up the Masters on the thing. I'm like,
oh no, So I deleted them, but not too many
people downloaded them. I don't except for Cruise and maybe.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah yeah to me.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You know YouTube, it's on Spotify and you know, but
we kind of detached ourselves too from like results sometimes,
like you get so like focused on like the result,
especially when you do something that goes crazy, like you
start getting used to it, and then it's like, you know,
this industry is like a roller coaster. So when you
detach yourself from it, that's when you're like in a
(06:48):
perative freedom because you're like you don't care, like it
does well, cool if it don't next, you know, and
once we figured that out, like cool stuff just keeps
happening because even if it does and go crazy like
which we do be going crazy a lot of times.
But yeah, people just see it's always quality, Like, no
matter what it is, we're gonna put our quality stuff,
and the more cool stuff we do, the more cool
(07:10):
stuff keeps happening.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
So yeah, and in the journey, Yeah, yeah, sir, it's
all about the journey. And I think what's happening with
you guys is something extremely brilliant. I think your path
is the longest path right right, the shortest right longevity,
it's quickness, which it's all good for something, right Yeah. Yeah,
for sure your path is a bit longer and it's
gonna take even more time, which even greater.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
We got more time to be great.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, well, building it brick by brick fur the longevity.
You know what I'm saying, We're in it for the
long run and that's why we do it. And we
care about this ship. So you know what I'm saying,
we're putting our best foot forward and that's what this
project is is Yodilandia drops on Friday.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Right, Yeah, but say he's already out by the time
it's out now nothing but slappers.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
But and the album cover, let's talk about it real quick, man.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
So you know it's pretty much we've talked about it before,
like like the hardest let me just put that out.
Look at that ship.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Bro, it's like putting out vinyls too.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
That's right, it's time putting out vinyls. But we kind
of want to put on like, bro, we we are
a part of this country, like we're American, uh, and
we're always being left out of the story. And you know,
we like to rep the Mexican flag and stuff like that,
but we have to let people know like now we're
from here, we've been here. We're gonna set our flag,
our stamp in this country too. Like it's important to
(08:38):
show people that that that Mexican Americans or Latino Americans
are like you know, like we're here, we're not going
nowhere type stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
So even though we get treated like America's step children,
you know what I'm saying, but whereas American as apple pie.
And that's what we wanted to showcase on them album cover.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, and it's a powerful image, you know, burning the
dollar a little so you know, a little subtle anarchy
in it. Yeah, which the album has like a little
undertone of like anarchy vibes and stuff like that, anti established.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
I think some of that has felt you. I mean
it felt throughout the entire album Product of Immigration. You
really feel it in the song, you know, you're like,
I'm a wet back, I'm a bean and.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So well, yeah, exactly exactly. Man, just just kind of
I have a bar too. I say natives saw More
American and Hulk Hogan like, we're native to this place,
you know, Like so they just always try to make
us feel like outsider, but really we've been here.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Native American means first, Yeah, exactly, so.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
We've been here. We're not going nowhere. And it's about time,
like we pushed the line like in this country because
this is where we live, and when we don't know
our history, they're able to switch it and make us
feel like alien to this this land. So we're kind
of putting that on our backs. It's like, naw, you
ain't gonna fool us and try to exclude us from
this country. Like we contribute a lot. We're going to
continue to contribute a lot, and it's up to us
(09:54):
to really put it in people's face. They like it
or not.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah, this is like America's worst nightmare right here. It's like,
that's what it represents now, the New Age, America's worst nightmare.
This is what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, this is America.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Wow, you guys make such creative music too, man, and
I read that you guys are not necessarily in the
studio at the same time.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
When you guys will create creating.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Music most of the time we're not. Is that just
this look.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here with this kid.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Sometimes I got kids too, and life be lifing, you
know what I mean. So that's why we got our
own home base, our own home studios, so we could
come in when we got the time and then knock
out whatever we got to knock out, and then just
leave the files there. I'll leave the session open and
then by the time he gets in there, he'll see
what I did and then go in there and cook
up it works.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, yeah exactly. Sometimes if it's like a certain feature
or something, we're like, we got to get in there
together just to make sure that we're both on point.
We hold each other accountable for every bar and stuff
like that. But yeah, so we'll get it in when
we can, like let's say I got todrop them off
at school. I'll drop them off, I got like an hour,
three hours to spare, I'll go in there real quick,
(11:05):
and I go back and pick them up. So it's
just like whenever we find a.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Time, we get in this all time management, man, and
there's no excuses, Like look at this guy. He brought
his fucking kid to j Cruz ninety two point three.
It's no excuses, man, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we got a
barbershop as well. Yeah, we own a barbershop that was
also a few cutting head early Yeah, yeah, Early. You
(11:30):
know what I'm saying. You need to have money to
invest in your career, you know what I'm saying. And
that was a job that allowed us to be ourselves.
You come as you are, dress however you want to dress.
You know what I'm saying. You don't got to be
in a cubicle, and you can make your own schedule.
So whenever we had to do a show, whenever we
had to go to the studio, we just block our
schedule out and then go handle it. You know what
(11:51):
I'm saying. Yeah, man, And yeah, barbershop gets you a
lot of freedom, and it's a hubble culture.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You can test the music there. You know what I'm saying,
Let's watch the barbershop got you know what I'm so
just all in all like barbershop culture. Hip hop culture
is like you know, so you need a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Did we ever think that you were going to be
in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, that was the first dream. So we realized, damn,
we're Mexican.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We might not make it.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Man, we chose the wrong sport. We might stop growing
at like six to one, and that's exactly what happened.
It's good enough, but you gotta be a beat. You
got animal, man, You gotta be.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Fast as hell. You gotta be a I level, which
was possible, but.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Nah no we don't.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
No more so often but.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Very very I got bad knees, man, I got That's
why they make it to the league.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Man, I say, we got to set up a game,
man guard.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Let's do it. You guys play block the whole thing.
Holy shit, I'm gonna let my kids up in yo.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Yeah make I don't want to see his kids though,
broll them up.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Hold today eighteen. It's all oh yeah, yeah, there are animals.
We get dunked on for sure. Hey, I thought I
still had it. At one Christmas with one of my
younger cousins, he's like six or four. I was popping
all this.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Started kicking in.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I'm still flat out. He was Kobe, I ain't played
in five years, and I bet you I'll still got you.
He's like, let's run it the whole Christmas, ruining everybody's Christmas.
And then we play this for smokes me.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I go, you out there looking like oncoming straight on.
Once they started blocking the shots, I was like, you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Love you, I'm trunk. You love me. I'm trunk, man,
that's what I'm sober.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, Yo, talk to us about minor setbacks.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Minor setbacks, man, Dang, it's just going through some per stuff,
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and just
holding yourself accountable and knowing that you got to make
some changes, you know what I mean. I felt like
that's one of the songs that was most honest in
the project.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
That was That was fourth quarter right there. The album
was pretty much done and I was coming off of
a three day bender.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
When I heard it was then and then it was
just it's just what happened, man, That's what came out
and I was like, damn, this is kind of hard.
And then he heard it and jumped on it and
made it ten times better. That's my favorite song made
the cut.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, just could have. I like songs like that, like
the As soon as I heard it, I was going,
I have to change some bars because I got a
little I was a little too person on some of
the stuff. Yeah, So you know, sometimes you get in
your head. I was going through some with wife and
sh it. I was like, man, I'm about to go
in on this one, but I was like, nah, I
got the divorce papers ready right now. About that. You know,
(15:01):
sometimes when they tell you your truth too, you don't
want to hear it. So with this, with this industry,
it comes with a lot of uh, disappointments, maybe with
with with your personal life because you gotta sometimes put
the business first. And some of the stuff I was saying,
it's some real, some real ship, Like I cannot come
home tonight. My wife's probably not even gonna text me.
She will just because I'm with my son right now.
(15:22):
But it's they're so used to you just not coming
home or and sometimes it may they might not be
upset at the work but it comes out in other ways,
like and sometimes like you know, your ego comes out
and you feel away because in your mind you're like, man,
I'm fucking you think I want to be doing this
ship all the time. Like I'm tired. I want to
come home, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
But it's sacrifices though. Man, the sacrifices it takes to
be an artist, and it takes a lot of thick
skin to be able to deal with somebody who's an artist.
That's why you know, sure, I'm probably gonna die a loan.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So that verse was very therapeutic for me. Man, when
I wrote that verse, I have to like get it out.
I was like that felt good.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
So you guys think you still are struggling to find
that balance within personal and.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I think I do a pretty good job at it.
But I become the sacrificial land. Like it's like I'm
doing that. I'm running on no sleep because I'm not
going to be a deadbeat or like I'm gonna do
what i gotta do. So if I got to sacrifice me,
that's what I'm gonna do. So I feel like I
found a balance, which is there is no balance like
if you got to run on three hours and you
(16:30):
got what you gotta do.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
You gotta think a lot of people that are, you know,
in front of the stage, their family.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Life always always feels it has to feel the sacrifice,
you know, even before fans.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, one hundred percent. And you know again, take someone
with thin skin and I think, as long as you
do what you gotta do, because there is time to
do all of it. Maybe you might have like a
week or two where you're super busy and you're slacking
on the family department, but you just got to pencil
it in like you do everything else. You know what
I'm saying, There's time for all of it. You just
gotta make the time.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Give a wish like that, if like give it wish
that you had a U.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, tenemy.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's why at that bar, like I'm hustling like the
three of me, I'm a rap Mick Foley, Like sometime
I'll be feeling like that, like but you know, it's
it's all paying off and at the end of the day,
this is what's important to me, like right here, So
I gotta make the time. That's just where I'm at
with it.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Yeah, for sure, man, running off Phase is crazy phase
man with the god him see himself solute. Yeah, I
had the best verse on that song. I would like
to say so myself.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You know what I mean. But I think I think
so too. That's right, willing to say. I thought he
got it. Everyone did their.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Thing though, But you know, I'm so already a legend
in this ship.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So you know everybody.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
He got Verse of the Month from Genius off that
verse and it was it was a fire record, man.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Everything's in North Hollywood, Hollywood, and I'm tired of driving
up here.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
We gotta do something like, Man, I'm tired of coming
to Hollywood. Man, I'm tired of that fucking four or
five to the one on one.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Always busy yeah, man, we have to play like an
hour and a half before the drive up here. You know,
it's worth it. We just wanted to bring something to
our like Sami area man that spot too, Like we
performed there with We opened up with Nipsey Hustle one time. Yeah,
so that was the only time we ever performed there.
So I was like, I'll be cool to do something
(19:00):
right there. So it's gonna be hard, man, I'm looking
forward to it all.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Y'all got the invite, man, I'm expecting everybody in here
and there.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Send the names first and last. Man, put on the
list man six, and let's go.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We are know how we you know how we right?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
I say that yourself. Don't want to come with me
the European tour, Let's talk about that real quick.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah yeah, man. For we're trying to get a European tour. Uh.
We got we got an audience out there because you
know when we toured out there with Game. Yeah, so
like I think our listeners goes like l A first
and then like the UK. We got a heavy audience
out there Australia and stuff. So we're trying to plan it. Man.
It's still in our sating Stone, but we gotta we're
talking to some bs out there. We're gonna make the Adlers.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
They gotta get on it. Man, what's up? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Does that trip you out that you know that your
audience expands to like Australia and UK for sure.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Man, it's different overseas, bro. It's they really show up
and show out and they turn up. They have a
different kind of value for hip hop hip hop world
than it is here, or at least it feels like it,
because they go out there to funck ship up like
they're ready to turn up and you tell them open
the pit, they're opening it, you know what I'm saying.
It's not like everybody's just standing there looking at you,
(20:16):
which whatever. But yeah, you go out there, the energy
is different, man. I love going out there. Is the
hardest crowd, Like, yeah, that's when you know you're breaking
l A.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
New York is tough too. Problem.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, we're just entitled out here, man. Everybody just we're
just so used to see everything. Yeah, every dope show
is here. Yeah we didn't we didn't see it all
out here. People where they're flies closed, they necessarily don't
want a mospit. Everybody got their nice shoes on and ship. Yeah. Cool,
Like they like to go and just watch the show.
(20:51):
Like we're not the hard as you are you perform, Yeah, exactly.
It's a lot of that. But we be cracking through
it though, and we still pople to participate. But it's
not like over there, it's not even a question. You
don't have to try it all. Yeah, Like LA is
still our biggest Our biggest market is here in LA.
But you know, you go over there, Bro, it's different.
(21:14):
You know where I think white boys, Well it's Mexico.
Oh yeah, I gotta go out there. You're talking about
Mexico City Show. I'll be crazy, Yeah, especially to like, uh,
the white audience in LA is ready to rage something
like the Latino audience sometimes, like we're just telling I
got a drink in my hand. I'm not trying to
(21:34):
spill it. But so you gotta read the room. But
but sometimes I don't even care if they're not ready
to march. He'll try to talk to me out of it.
Sometimes on stage, he's like, bro, don't do it. I'm like,
I'm doing it, so then I just stopped doing it.
I'll talk to them like Hey, like one of the
two things that's gonna happen, either y'all going mash with
me or I'm as by myself like I don't give
a fuck, like I'm here to have fun, like the
(21:56):
end of the show like that, and and ten times
out of ten they joined the man a rage.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, would you experience or experiment with rock?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
We just actually did something with a with a band
called This Mady and it came out pretty far. Yeah,
they're they're killing it in the underground world, but yeah,
for sure, we're definitely open open to it. You'll probably
hear some stuff in the near future with some rock
for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Sure. That's mother that looked them up. They're dope killing
there shows. Rock shows is different. They're the ragers showing
up bro. Yeah. Yeah, they might get punched in the face. Yeah,
their fits are different. They'll do it at McDonald's. I
don't know if you've been seeing that band that goes
to McDonald's, that's right and start going crazy crazy McDonald's.
(22:42):
That's cool, man. I like that. I like that energy.
So it's like, how do you bring that to hip hop? Right, Like,
at least the middle ground, So I think that's where
we are the middle ground. That's why I think they
reached out to us because it kind of makes sense.
It doesn't, but it does, Like I.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Think it makes sense.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, there's ritt and there's that sound right
and matched with that kind of vibe, I think.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It works very well.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Yeah, yeah for sure. Yeah, we got some stuff coming man,
and then your future.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I want to flip that one. What's that song? Like
my eyes feel like they're gunn I believe Green Day.
I started writing a verse to that riff because that
riff was so hard green Day. Yeah, I with all
that ship green Day, you know, fucking uh my system
of a down fing uh Offspring even like Offspring hard
(23:34):
bro rocking. Yeah, Cranberry's dumb for sure. Nirvana Cranberry are
hard that project like that, Nah, that would be crazy, Yeah,
that would make sense someone like Travis, you know, it
makes sense hard.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I was listening to cold Play on the way up here,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, yeah. I don't really listen to hip hop a
lot nowadays, is that right? Yeah? Like I do, but
it's like when I'm chilling in the car, like I
like to hear like either easy listening or like right
now I'm on my eighties bag, so I'm listening to
like the Cure and ship like that. Yeah. Yeah, sad
boys Ship, brot, sad boy Ship, hell A sad boy Ship,
(24:18):
sadass forever.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
His favorite song right now is sweet. Somebody got to
sample that right there? Man, exact you've written. I'm sure
it's been sampled before.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Sample.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, plenty of times. That's like a forever joint, right
for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You guys are really close.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Who I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I don't think we'll I don't think neither of us
will say I'm sorry. It's just kind of we keep
it pushing. It's like better left than said. But we
both understand, like, I'm sorry, bro, it's all right.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We've only had like one big ass argument we had.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
We had an argument in the middle of a wedding
one time. I stormed off.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He was drunk. I was drunk. He threw that means
like I don't want this ship? Is you want this ship?
Fuck you all quick? Yeah? That was before like that.
We're still going through some stuff, you know, in the
industry stuff, And that was before we really cracked the
code on how to like do it independently. Like we
were starting to figure it out. It was a lot
of frustration. We're going through a lot personally, plus the industry,
(25:22):
plus the world, the climbate of the world. So we
we definitely don't touch that.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
We definitely like blew up in front of the whole
family and everyone everyone. It wasn't even our close family,
it was like extended family, like.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Like we knew you, we knew you shitting invited those
motherfuckers and then one of them was like, exactly, you see,
this is why I never invite Ricky. We had this
argument on air yesterday. So maybe you guys can put
your two cents in I'm wrong and I'm sorry the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh yeah, I think so, yeah, because you're owning up
to it, like I was wrong. Yeah, if you're It
depends how you say I was wrong. You can say
I was wrong, so what I'm not sorry?
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I feel like, yeah, I feel like I would rather
say I was wrong and then say I'm sorry. You
know what I'm saying, like I'm sorry, Yeah, you are sorry.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You suck, But sometimes you're sorry and you're not really wrong,
you know, you be like you know what, I'm sorry
for whatever, Like it was uncalled for maybe I should
my delivery was wrong or right.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
That's what I'm working on right now.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
With my fucking girl. Like sometimes I just be like,
right now, my patience is like paper thing like with accountability,
Like I feel like I'm very accountable. So if somebody
doesn't show it, like I was just like telling them
their truths, but in like harsh, harshly, and I'd be like, damn,
I was uncalled for. You know what I'm saying. So
I apologize not I want.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, I mean that he was wrong, sorry, but I
wasn't wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I wouldn't say in the truth, Sorry, it wasn't un
called for. I apologize. You don't deserve that, Yeah, but
you know what I'm saying. But I wouldn't be like
I was wrong. But you know they don't deserve like
to you know, get snapped me. I want, man, of course,
But sometimes I am wrong.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Though that I'm wrong ninety nine percent of the time,
right you feel me? I'm sorry? Yeah that makes any sense?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh yeah, fifty percent of the time you stand on it.
I don't know. Fuck I was wrong. I don't give
a ship.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You needed to hear that guy, big cat vibes bro Hey.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Meet the lambs crazy to meet the lands man. Yeah,
some some some woke ship from some ignorant motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah. Yeah, I just feel like it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, I feel like again go back to accountability. Like
so often I right now, I have like an internal
battle like of what I say or what I stand for,
and sometimes like I'll say ship, I'm like like I
got to balance the force, so I can't just be
pure ignorant. Man, I do be feeling like that like
those songs is like, man, I gotta be more more present,
(28:08):
more intentional, like with the time if I do have
only a little bit of time with my son or whoever,
like be present, like put your fucking phone down, like
look at your kid in the fucking face, like go
do shit with them. Like it's easy to just get
lost in the matrix, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And I've been there. I've been there, like I'm with
my son and then like I just get on my
phone and I look up. Yeah, I can't find all
ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Especially in our world. You know, it's like a part
of our job is the internet, so you can get
sucked into it, like and you're not only like consuming,
but you're a part of like contributing to it, so
it's easy to get super lost in it.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
It was just awareness, that's what it was. Just trying
to put awareness on the track on the record, you
know what I mean. And I eat the most junk
food of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm eating bullshit. My
verse was about eating healthy. But it's just you know,
like you said, being accountable, Yeah, and making better choices,
you know what I mean, That's what it was about.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, it sounds like you guys are looking in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You got to, man, and if you
can't do that, that's when you really lost in the sauce.
Like again, going back to being accountable. Like we're human,
so we all have both sides in us, Like we
have the good and the bad, like everybody does. There's
not a human alive that's all one thing. So it's
just kind of like again, looking at yourself in the
(29:31):
mirror and just trying to do better. That's all you
can do is try to do better. And then my music,
like I have to incorporate the other side, like as
far as I'm concerned, like I have to, and I
have kids, man, I want them to when they hear
my ship when they're older, like to see the balance, like, oh,
my dad, wasn't all one thing right? Right? Like you
(29:52):
could I could kick game like nah, Like they could
listen to it and hear different layers and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, when he watches this ten he's from now, Yeah,
you're gonna think.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
