From what I understand I've been I've been hearing about
this ship every day. I'm like, what the fuck is.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Love Island crazy?
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Don't get sucked into it because there's no episodes every day,
so you don't want to.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You don't want those problems right right right.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You could never be on a reality show. I mean,
your life was a reality show the way you.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Grew up though, Yeah, for sure, definitely. I don't think
I could do reality TV though, Bro, I ain't gonna lie.
It's not my thing.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, when you saw, like you know, other hip hop
artists are on loving hip hop and shows like that, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Mean, kudos to them, but I just can't like I
don't know, like I just can't have a camera just
following my day today life, you know what I'm saying,
Like it's too personal. You know, I was having too
much personal shit going on. I probably knocked the camera
down and some shit, Like they're on cord this ship
right now.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Reality TV always needs a good crash.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Out though, so would Yeah, I would be the crash out.
So we're not doing that. Your greatest rapper alive. Congratulations
on the project. I love the sample flips in it, bro.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, appreciate it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So did that start off as like one idea and
then it just kind of it just kind of went
from there or was that the concept for.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean, it was always the concept, but like it
was like a kind of like a three year process
and me doing it, you know, like I wasn't like
Russian trying to hurry up and put the project out.
I was trying to take my time with doing all
the sample flips, and I was like I had in
mind like little Wayne to Drought, no ceilings shit like that.
(03:08):
You feel me? So I was like trying to kind
of recreate that in a modern way in my own way.
You feel me? So, Like, yeah, I was. It took
me like three years to really do the project, and
my man, I had the idea like, all right, this
is what I'm gonna doing. This what I'm gonna call it.
But I was just trying to do as many flips
so I could till I could put the hardest ones
that I did in the folder to make a mixtape,
(03:30):
you know what I'm saying. So like I probably ended
up totally was like nineteen twenty records on that if that,
I probably had to choose from like fifty sixty songs
over the course of three years. It's a process. Three
year process for sure, right, and then in the meantime
still dropping the other shit that I was dropping out,
it's like, and then performing right and then doing what
(03:52):
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Then raising the family.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah yeah, being out of the house and the provider
and all that show bro And the samples were they easy? Yeah,
kind of sort of like not all of them though
most of them you feel me and I feel like
the way I did it, so I was my whole
masdset was never to put it out on like DSPs.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I was just gonna do some jacket for beats type
shit and put it out through SoundCloud or something like that,
but I ended up putting it out through my app.
You know, I got my own app, Well, I dropped music,
so I put it out through there, and I kind
of like forced, like forced the label hand to put
it on on DSPs because they saw the demand for it,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah, when I dropped it,
(04:35):
my whole intentions was to just put it out for
my core fan base, like you feel I'm saying, put
it out for my audience that's really tuned into the app,
to get him something to appreciate for even being on
my app and subscribing to the app, you feel me.
So I was trying to drop as much music as
I could on there, and when it started to pick up,
like everybody wanted you know what I'm saying, wanted the music,
you feel me, like he just put it on that.
(04:56):
It was never my intention to even put it on there.
To be honest, bro, I ain't gonna lie. I ain't
really care, bro, be honest, I'm serious, Like, it was
never my intention to put it out like that. I
just wanted to really do something that was going to
heat up the streets for the people. That's listening solely
to me, you know what I'm saying, Like, who only
want check it for gebo? So that's why I put
it out that way. And then it just like just
(05:16):
because I put it out. I put it out in
December twenty twenty four or some shit like that, you
feel me, So it didn't make it to DSPs toward
like March April.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's crazy, And then it became this new project all
over again. Sure, so it had like two lives. Definitely,
that's crazy, bro, how smart if you think about it now?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
For sure, that's how I wanted to do it though, Bro,
I didn't even I didn't care if it ever made
it to DSPs. That's right.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And your core fans must have been super juiced up
they got it first base.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, And I was seeing the feedback like
on my page and stuff like that on my Instagram.
So once I seen it like that, I think I
put out like fourteen tracks and then I added like
five more to it, so I just kept feeding that algorithm.
You feel what I'm saying. That's what I was really
doing it for. For the supporters they had my and
it just registered.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, arts, you got to pay attention to the algorithm
attack and everything else that's like building around us that
may surpass us.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I guess right, we got to keep up with all that, right, right,
you gotta know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh yeah, hell yeah, bro. It's like, you know, like
I learned about direct consumer probably like four years ago,
and I've just been trying to master that with my
app for real real. So it's like I could see,
I got all the data where I could see every
person who's downloaded, where they are, like different countries, like
all the way in Asia or Russia, and.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Then from there you can create like a tour route,
right exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I could do that and just do a little special
shit for them, like put certain things out, put merch
pieces out, content, all that kind of stuff, just to
you know what I'm saying. Please that that fan base
that I have over there, and I've been doing it
like for sure, like I take it real seriously.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
For sure.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Have you thought about, like, you know, let's say you
have like a super pop and fan base in Asia,
for example, have you thought about like tapping in with
like Asian artists to just make it pop even more? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, for sure, Like I got a whole team that
like give me ideas when it comes to that type
of stuff. You know what I'm saying, Like when I
I've never been, but when I go, I want to
be able to like really go and tap me in
and lucky in that way, like I rather just do
it when I get out there. You know what I'm saying.
For sure? Man, Yeah, not for sure, You're in there
(07:25):
and a lot of people. Yeah, n I'm trying myself
for sure. And it's like that's the reason why so
many people in the world, you know, and like music
is so spread out, how it's spread out, you know
what I'm saying, Like people would think like it's not
really you know, like it's always somebody who was for
(07:45):
so it's like I'm not really trying to I'm not
saying I'm not because I always want to like gain
a new fan base and get a new fan every day.
But the people who are really tuned in for me,
those are the people who I'm more so focused on,
you know, and just trying to perfect my craft to
of course gain new fans. I want to gain new
fans and get global superstar them. But the people who
really tuned in and who appreciate my music. I'm always
(08:06):
put them first.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But it's that early YouTube fan base that you still
got to, right.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, for sure. And it's like I'm in the place
now where I've been dropping the most music anyway, So
I want to kind of keep that up, like keep
that momentally. For sure.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Your son, your song is dropping music too. Yeah, doing
this thing, bro is my man. I'm proud of forming

I kind of like I didn't realized what I was doing.
I thought I was a dope. I mean I was
living like adope, moving like a dope, and head adult
like responsibilities. But now when I'm when I'm old, I
realized that we like we got cheated out our innocence
(13:44):
and our chat for sure. So we definitely got to
grow too fast. Yeah, way too fast, bro, Like for
me to have to feel like I got to carry
a gun going to school, carrying a gun going everywhere
you feel I'm saying it, and and really having to
like look over my shoulder because I'm in fear of
my life, you know what I'm saying. Like it wasn't
a cool thing to do, Like I wasn't I was. Yeah,
I was never really the like you might could be
(14:06):
able to go find like little archives and you see
I'm carrying like a weapon on Instagram. But my shit
was never really like to be shown or flashed around,
you know, because we never wanted to, Like I never
was the kind of guy that really wanted to attract
that attention. Like you feel what I'm saying. It was
already yeah, it was already like on me for real.
Like what I mean by on me is like that
energy already around me, already had to be in fear
(14:28):
of my life, so I didn't have to welcome. For sure,
I ain't have to welcome that kind of energy. It
was already like on me. Like everywhere I go, I
had to look over my shoulder, people really trying to
do stuff to me. Like I had to drop out
of school for that for the exact same reason, right.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Because your life was on the line.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, for sure, Like it got one day. I used
to have to get dropped off from school like by
my homies and shit, like I couldn't catch the bus,
take public transportation people. Yeah, yeah, people really you know.
And on top of it, I was I was rapping
at the time too, so like my face was familiar
to every everybody, you know what I'm saying, Like not
it could be somebody that know me that want to
do something to me. I didn't know who they was,
(15:05):
and I was still in high school. So my homies
used to drop me off at school and shit, and
I smell like weed and they had kicked me out,
And then I got to call my homies like, man,
come back and get me. And he's like, bro, I'm
not gonna keep turned around after I'm halfway back to
the hood after twenty minutes, like you just gonna have
to stop going to that shit. And I just stopped
going to school.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Bro, I was it, damn? And what did Mom say?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
She ain't really know it first though I was. I
was hading from her. But I think my report card
came out I had like sixty absences on my shit
or something seventy apps. She like, you ain't going to school.
I'm like, Mom, I can't go to school, man, this
shit is too dangerous, like for real, for real, And
like I was always a kid that was super like smart,
and I was like I always knew how to like
(15:51):
express myself and what I was feeling. I wouldn't I
didn't really like like I would omit the truth, but
if it came about I would always like tell my
mom and dad what iut hed going on. So I
explained it to her and she went actually went up
to my school and had a conversation with the dean
and stuff like that, and it's all documented. Like the
dean at the school told her, like, man, he really
(16:13):
a smart kid, and he's doing his music like it's
picking up, like he got fans all through the school.
I feel like you should just let him chase the music, Like,
just let him pursue his career in music and you know,
hopefully something come from it. So she she put the
idea in my mom head, and my mom let me
do it. The dean of school, Dean, that's not how
it goes. Yeah, miss Jackson shouted to Miss Jackson.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Jackson, thank you, Miss Jackson.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
He was playing your music too.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I mean the whole school.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Did they ever ask you to perform?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I went back and did stuff like for my school,
but when I was there now, not at the time
when I was going to school, but I went back
and like performed songs at my school before.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, yeah, damn that's crazy for what life. Yeah, for sure,
And here we are.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I still support my high school though, Like I still
go to the basketball games and stuff like that, show
up just to just to show them, like you know,
it's possible, you could do it too. Like I walked
these same halls. It was in the classes that y'all
was in, and you know, face the same adversity y'all
face on the day to day, and I made some
of my life, so you know you could do it too,
So I try to go back as much as possible.
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
What I'm jack.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
You do think there's ever gonna be a time where
we see the songs that didn't make this album? Because
you said that there's like probably at least like twenty
three songs that didn't make it on different albums.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Uh. Probably, So yeah. I tend to do that a lot,
Like I always have music that I recorded, like from
two years ago or something that might make a project.
And I think this Greatest Rapper Alive it's kind of
like a like a brand now, so it's like I
might do a part two apart three. Yeah for sure, Yeah,
I definitely. I don't think it's just a one time
thing for me at all, So yeah, yeah, probably so.
(17:51):
And I think I like this sample so much, like
I like the sample flips. It's such a like a
classic nostalgic feeling. So it's like, I, even if I'm
not doing the Greatest Rapper Live, just to put some
of those kind of records on an actual album for real,
like a sounddope too.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
So yeah, now Duffel is crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It's one of my favorites. Duffel, Yeah, for sure. Duffel
of course went legit the g phasos.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Legit is crazy.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You know you got one, so that's crazy. I didn't
even Bro. It's still like I'm kind of still like
in all of it in a way, like I can't
leave that I really called it. I'm just having fun
like I didn't. I didn't expect this at all. Like
for sure, I feel like it's going to definitely years
to come and probably be one of my biggest records
that I ever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Did you know when you asked the DJ to run
it back live, when you're performing it live, then you know.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah for sure, and they do it. I was in
the club, man, my homie played it. He was djm Bro.
We was all drunk, just having fun and ship. He
played the song literally like thirty five times back to
back and one time though like I'm not exactly right,
thirty five or forty times back to back to back
to back in the club treatment and they wrapped it
every time. Everybody in the club wrap that ship all
(19:03):
forty times. I'm like, damn, this ship is crazy. I
couldn't believe it. I'm like wow. And we was in Atlanta.
You know, Atlanta, a tough crowd. They don't really give
a funk about none of this ship. Atlanta Atlanta and
New York Atlanta, super tough Atlanta. The toughest crowds I
ever performed in front of was Atlanta, New York, Detroit,
(19:27):
in Houston. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, because they all got their own vibes and sounds.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's like they all like you could you would see
a celebrity on any given day, and they don't really
care about that ship for really, they don't excite them.
Like everybody's just all over the place and everybody got
some money. So it's like if you're not if they're
not really a fan of the music, like they not
in all, we like the image like they gotta be
the music.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, you almost have to be like a local star
to get that.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah. Yeah, for sure, definitely, for sure. Earlier one of
my favorites, Legendary. Have you ever met No, no, no, no, no,
I haven't here. I never I never met asked he was?
He like one of my favorite icons though, for sure, though, like, yeah,
I never met ice Cube, My mama. My mom loved

ice Cube, so it's like that was that's like celebrity crushing. Ship.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Wait, ice Cube was your mom? Celebrity crush your mom
and Selena gold Man.
Speaker 1 (20:22):

Speaker 2 (20:24):

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah, your mom feel the same way.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah yeah, ice c the goat Man watching his movies
yeah hell yeah, yet Friday every single one of them,
Like I know, every single ice Cube movie for sure,
like a classic.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah hell yeah yeah. When you think about it, bro,
Like this song of all to think about his career
is crazy that like he like I feel like he was.
I mean, you don't really get where you where he
is in life, like by coincidence. So it's like he
was already planning to be a mogul back then, Like
for a nigga to be doing that, like go from
(21:10):
a group, go solo, make all that great music solo
and then going to movies right in the midst of
his career, the height of him being a rapper for real,
Like yeah, that's crazy. That's like he was the first.
He was really like he was on the first to
do it. Yeah, and he got the Big Three. Like
that's super mogul status.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Should be watching ice Cube. We should be studying ice
Cube learning from now.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm studying him all the time, Like I ain't gonna
lie like every time when I see I'm the type
of guy like I go watch like a person's whole career,
step by step, Go watch the movies. Go watch like
not like just the funny movies. I'm going to watch
straight out of company. I'm going to watch Boys in
the Hood and just how like that shiit, like what
it did for his career, And I'm trying to like
(21:53):
kind of mimic it in a way because history repeats itself.
Like if you're not really coming up trying to be
like or as great as the ones who did it
before you, then you're really not doing it correctly. Like
you know what I'm saying. That's the way to go,
are you? I'm plying on movies, plying no movies, but
I'm plying on those like monumental films that tell a
story about your life and going to your career.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I mean, dog, you survived a few scenes already.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Definitely life the Boys in the hood to get rich
of that trying. That's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I feel like you're getting shot at right and going
right through.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Your hat almost story. Yeah, that's a crazy scene right there.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Bro. Nah, that shit was crazy. And I saw when
that shit happened. I thought I got hit in the head.
I'm just talking to myself like, man, you better not
fall your ass fall you. Oh man, I'm just trying
to run. My head was hot as fuck. I just
feel the heat on my head. But it was really
just from the bullet going past.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
But at this point you think you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I never you know, I've never been shot before I
was a kid, So I'm like, I just feel heat
on my head. I'm like, fuck, man, this nigga just
hit me in the head. For real.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I was like, I wouldn't be able to put that many,
you know, that much thought into you know, getting shot
in the head. I mean it sounds like you you
had a lock on on. I was thinking like you
were thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I was thinking that it happened, like I swear to
God them and all, I'm thinking like, fuck, these niggas
just shot me in my fucking head.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You fucking fuck Yeah, Like I had just left a
photo shoot, so I'm just outside chilling and ship.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I was fresh as fundy, bro, I was sixteen. I
hit a brand new ass outfit, like I was fresh
as hell. And I hear my head on like kind
of like you know, cock a little bit, like we
was outside deepest hell, and I was just yeah, like that,
I hear my head exactly like I didn't have it
all the way on, Like I hear my ship like
cock to the left, a little bit hanging off my head.
(23:43):
And I was just talking to girls and ship, and
like somebody came and gave us a warning though, Like
two of my homies came and warned us, like, man,
get from off this corner. Bro. We just seen some niggas.
Ryan put hoodies on the ship and we were just
the lookout. Yeah, but we was just like arrogant for real.
We're like, man, fuck the niggas, Like we ain't leave.
Like me and my homie, we were like, man, fuck the
(24:03):
you think you know it all. We just wasn't scared
for real, Like man, fuck them, Man, they just gotta
go do what they gonna do, you feel me. But
we had girls right there. We told the girls to
walk off, and I'm glad that we did that because
we kind of like we saved them from getting into
the situation. And they pulled up. They just pulled up
and started shooting shit when I felt this ship on
my head and knocked my head off, and I'm like,
(24:24):
that's why I'm mean by like I was like strategically
critically thinking, because I'm like, fuck, man, my head is here.
I'm trying to run and I look back. I had
already got hit though when I got hit, but I
ain't get hitting the hit. So I look back and
I see two of my homies falling, and I just
yell like, man.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Get the fuck up, like they didn't trip.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I'm just like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I just like always and that's crazy. This is a
true story. Like I always just been like super loyal.
I'm seeing my homies farm I'm like, get up so
I could keep running, like come on, go with me.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
If not, I gotta go back now. I gotta getting
the fuck up off the float. And they got up,
and then we just kept running.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Oh god, oh that type of ship.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I mean, bro to survive that kind of shit is crazy, right,
but also creates great music great.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Lyrics definitely right, for sure, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, for sure, Like my kids never have to go
through that, they don't never have to never have to
go through that, never have.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
To experience it. You feel I'm saying like ever in
life is No, it's not even possible.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
No, it's and I think you did.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Like the best thing that you can do as an
adult who's been through a lot of PTSD from you know,
growing up is going to therapy and trying to figure
that out and trying to heal because sure, man, you
got to hear definitely destroy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You, definitely. And it's like, now of my life is
not that anymore, and I'm able to like see things
clearly and wake up and do what I want to do.
A lot of that from my past is kind of
like catching up to me. Like, you know, you feel
like survivor's guilt. You feel like try from you know
what I'm saying, the things that you've been through that
you have to heal from, and you in a whole
different space in life, and you just wonder like why
(26:06):
am I depressed? Why am I sad? Why do I
feel like, you know what I'm saying, feel all these
different emotions, So you gotta be able to heal and
just you know, kind of release that dead weight and
that trauma offer you so you can move on and
like be happy for the remaining of your life. Like
that's why I'm at with.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Everything for sure, because then your kids start to feel it. Yeah, definitely,
they don't even know why.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
They don't even know why, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
that's definitely true, and that's crazy, Like it's really that
energy and generational trauma passed down for generations generations. So
I'm definitely I'm breaking the curse day by day for
sure because of my kids. Yeah, what else are you
doing differently definitely than my parents? Communicating with my kids,
you know what I'm saying, and just making sure they
(26:48):
understand that the things that you're feeling are not like
it's not a it's not something that you shouldn't be feeling,
you know what I'm saying, Like your emotions and how
you feel, you know, like, well, I'll come from were
just like all right if you be a you know
what I'm saying, don't cry, dust that ship off, you
be allright? You feel me? Like you still got to

told him, like, man, get him on YouTube, let him
start streaming. I'm like, I ain't want to like them,
just like letting him do him, Like that's what he
want to do, and I let him do it. But
he asked me hisself, like yeah, I want to start streaming.

started his own YouTube and everything already so good for him.
(30:34):
Yeah Kid is really ahead of his time. Man, I'm
not gonna lie what of course this time?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
A writer like.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Phone phone phone for sure. I do the voice notes
when I get an idea, like I do the voice notes,
and probably do like the first four balls, like the
way I write, though, are you only write the first
four eight bars, in the last four eight anything else
in the middle. I just freestyle, like I feel like
those are the toughest, the hardest part of a song,
the first four, in the last four anything else, I
(31:11):
kind of get it. Yeah, I just write the Yeah, yeah,
I just write the beginning of the end. If I'm
gonna write anything on paper, but majority of my music
if freestyle anyway, for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's right through the wires. Crazy rock Flock.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, all that's freestyle. Everything everything on their whole project,
I freestyle. I didn't write nothing on that except for
the only only song that I wrote was the song
that I dedicated to my daughter. Yeah, I love that
for sure. Everything else, Yeah, yeah, FAVET seventeen, I wrote
that one. But everything else now crazy bro.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yo, you're part of the twenty sixteen double XL Freshman class.
Yeah right, yeah, twenty sixteen. Bro, I feel like everyone
has had their moment in that class, right, and I
think you're still ascending for a good position.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
To be Yeah. No, definitely, man, I'm super grateful, Like,
and I was just talking about that class the other day.
I feel like that's the like the best class in
double history if you ask me.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
It's controversial for sure. Little Yeah now you little Dicky man,
Little Dicky is a star for real, Bro.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
He's a smart start smart yeah for sure. And I
like that good as a motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
You watch your show, Yeah, yeah, yeah, well he's a
superstar bro.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Crazy And that freestyle here for the for the freshman class,
yeah yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
For sure for sure, it definitely was, bro Like, that
was one of the most fun times, like you know
what I'm saying, just being an artist and connected with
my peers and ship because those are like kind of
like our first time is really seeing each other and
then our relationships grew from there.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You feel do you think those lists matter still?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
No, I don't think they matter at all. I really don't.
I mean, I feel like it's good for an artists
like to gain confidence when you like as at in
this industry, you always want like the credit, you know,
you always want your credit for the work that you
put in. But honestly, I don't really think it matter.
It don't matter at all, because it used to. It
(33:11):
definitely did.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Like in that year twenty sixteen drop, everybody's talking about
and disagreeing opinion.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
For sure, it's controversial, it's super controversial, but right now
and today's time, it's kind of physical. Yeah, yeah, kind
of pizzicle. But I think that has a lot to
do with the industry and the whole artistry of it too, though,
Like the artists aren't really like super into the music
and super excited for that moment the way we work,
Like you know what I'm saying, we really wanted that moment.
(33:37):
You feel what I'm saying, Like I made the song
about double Legcale when I ain't make the cover, like
you feel me like we really wanted that cover that moment.
And I feel like the artists in today's time really
don't like super want that moment. You feel what I'm saying,
Like it's just like it's like a photo shoot to them. Now,
Like all right, we're just gonna go through the double
X sales shit like we used to look forward to
the freestyles that came out like everything, Like we really
(34:00):
looking forward to hearing the freestyles. It was just a whole,
like an industry, a moment for the entire industry in
the world to see that, you feel what I'm saying.
So now I don't know if it's something that like
double X heal as a whole need to do to
make it, like, you know, to turn it back up.
I don't really know, but yeah, I feel like it's
(34:20):
kind of lost it like significance when when it comes
to like artists wanted to be on it, and when
they don't make it, they feel like they gotta go harder,
you know what I'm saying. Like now they're just like
all right whatever, I'm just doing me for yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, it used to push artist. Yeah for sure, you
made a song about not making it. Yeah, push it hard,
like noah, fuck that.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah. I had a point to prove at that point,
Like you know what I'm saying. When I didn't make
it in twenty fifteen, I had a point to prove,
you know, so like yeah, yeah, and I made it
to make it.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Love Island crazy?
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Don't get sucked into it because there's no episodes every day,
so you don't want to.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You don't want those problems right right right.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You could never be on a reality show. I mean,
your life was a reality show the way you.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Grew up though, Yeah, for sure, definitely. I don't think
I could do reality TV though, Bro, I ain't gonna lie.
It's not my thing.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, when you saw, like you know, other hip hop
artists are on loving hip hop and shows like that, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Mean, kudos to them, but I just can't like I
don't know, like I just can't have a camera just
following my day today life, you know what I'm saying,
Like it's too personal. You know, I was having too
much personal shit going on. I probably knocked the camera
down and some shit, Like they're on cord this ship
right now.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Reality TV always needs a good crash.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Out though, so would Yeah, I would be the crash out.
So we're not doing that. Your greatest rapper alive. Congratulations
on the project. I love the sample flips in it, bro.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, appreciate it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So did that start off as like one idea and
then it just kind of it just kind of went
from there or was that the concept for.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean, it was always the concept, but like it
was like a kind of like a three year process
and me doing it, you know, like I wasn't like
Russian trying to hurry up and put the project out.
I was trying to take my time with doing all
the sample flips, and I was like I had in
mind like little Wayne to Drought, no ceilings shit like that.
(03:08):
You feel me? So I was like trying to kind
of recreate that in a modern way in my own way.
You feel me? So, Like, yeah, I was. It took
me like three years to really do the project, and
my man, I had the idea like, all right, this
is what I'm gonna doing. This what I'm gonna call it.
But I was just trying to do as many flips
so I could till I could put the hardest ones
that I did in the folder to make a mixtape,
(03:30):
you know what I'm saying. So like I probably ended
up totally was like nineteen twenty records on that if that,
I probably had to choose from like fifty sixty songs
over the course of three years. It's a process. Three
year process for sure, right, and then in the meantime
still dropping the other shit that I was dropping out,
it's like, and then performing right and then doing what
(03:52):
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Then raising the family.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah yeah, being out of the house and the provider
and all that show bro And the samples were they easy? Yeah,
kind of sort of like not all of them though
most of them you feel me and I feel like
the way I did it, so I was my whole
masdset was never to put it out on like DSPs.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I was just gonna do some jacket for beats type
shit and put it out through SoundCloud or something like that,
but I ended up putting it out through my app.
You know, I got my own app, Well, I dropped music,
so I put it out through there, and I kind
of like forced, like forced the label hand to put
it on on DSPs because they saw the demand for it,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah, when I dropped it,
(04:35):
my whole intentions was to just put it out for
my core fan base, like you feel I'm saying, put
it out for my audience that's really tuned into the app,
to get him something to appreciate for even being on
my app and subscribing to the app, you feel me.
So I was trying to drop as much music as
I could on there, and when it started to pick up,
like everybody wanted you know what I'm saying, wanted the music,
you feel me, like he just put it on that.
(04:56):
It was never my intention to even put it on there.
To be honest, bro, I ain't gonna lie. I ain't
really care, bro, be honest, I'm serious, Like, it was
never my intention to put it out like that. I
just wanted to really do something that was going to
heat up the streets for the people. That's listening solely
to me, you know what I'm saying, Like, who only
want check it for gebo? So that's why I put
it out that way. And then it just like just
(05:16):
because I put it out. I put it out in
December twenty twenty four or some shit like that, you
feel me, So it didn't make it to DSPs toward
like March April.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's crazy, And then it became this new project all
over again. Sure, so it had like two lives. Definitely,
that's crazy, bro, how smart if you think about it now?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
For sure, that's how I wanted to do it though, Bro,
I didn't even I didn't care if it ever made
it to DSPs. That's right.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And your core fans must have been super juiced up
they got it first base.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, And I was seeing the feedback like
on my page and stuff like that on my Instagram.
So once I seen it like that, I think I
put out like fourteen tracks and then I added like
five more to it, so I just kept feeding that algorithm.
You feel what I'm saying. That's what I was really
doing it for. For the supporters they had my and
it just registered.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, arts, you got to pay attention to the algorithm
attack and everything else that's like building around us that
may surpass us.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I guess right, we got to keep up with all that, right, right,
you gotta know what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh yeah, hell yeah, bro. It's like, you know, like
I learned about direct consumer probably like four years ago,
and I've just been trying to master that with my
app for real real. So it's like I could see,
I got all the data where I could see every
person who's downloaded, where they are, like different countries, like
all the way in Asia or Russia, and.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Then from there you can create like a tour route,
right exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I could do that and just do a little special
shit for them, like put certain things out, put merch
pieces out, content, all that kind of stuff, just to
you know what I'm saying. Please that that fan base
that I have over there, and I've been doing it
like for sure, like I take it real seriously.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
For sure.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Have you thought about, like, you know, let's say you
have like a super pop and fan base in Asia,
for example, have you thought about like tapping in with
like Asian artists to just make it pop even more? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, for sure, Like I got a whole team that
like give me ideas when it comes to that type
of stuff. You know what I'm saying, Like when I
I've never been, but when I go, I want to
be able to like really go and tap me in
and lucky in that way, like I rather just do
it when I get out there. You know what I'm saying.
For sure? Man, Yeah, not for sure, You're in there
(07:25):
and a lot of people. Yeah, n I'm trying myself
for sure. And it's like that's the reason why so
many people in the world, you know, and like music
is so spread out, how it's spread out, you know
what I'm saying, Like people would think like it's not
really you know, like it's always somebody who was for
(07:45):
so it's like I'm not really trying to I'm not
saying I'm not because I always want to like gain
a new fan base and get a new fan every day.
But the people who are really tuned in for me,
those are the people who I'm more so focused on,
you know, and just trying to perfect my craft to
of course gain new fans. I want to gain new
fans and get global superstar them. But the people who
really tuned in and who appreciate my music. I'm always
(08:06):
put them first.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But it's that early YouTube fan base that you still
got to, right.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, for sure. And it's like I'm in the place
now where I've been dropping the most music anyway, So

Yeah everywhere you went? Yeah, for sure, crazy bro At fifteen, Yeah,
for sure, definitely one fair. I mean at that age,
I kind of like I didn't realized what I was doing.
I thought I was a dope. I mean I was
living like adope, moving like a dope, and head adult
like responsibilities. But now when I'm when I'm old, I
realized that we like we got cheated out our innocence
(13:44):
and our chat for sure. So we definitely got to
grow too fast. Yeah, way too fast, bro, Like for
me to have to feel like I got to carry
a gun going to school, carrying a gun going everywhere
you feel I'm saying it, and and really having to
like look over my shoulder because I'm in fear of
my life, you know what I'm saying. Like it wasn't
a cool thing to do, Like I wasn't I was. Yeah,
I was never really the like you might could be
(14:06):
able to go find like little archives and you see
I'm carrying like a weapon on Instagram. But my shit
was never really like to be shown or flashed around,
you know, because we never wanted to, Like I never
was the kind of guy that really wanted to attract
that attention. Like you feel what I'm saying. It was
already yeah, it was already like on me for real.
Like what I mean by on me is like that
energy already around me, already had to be in fear
(14:28):
of my life, so I didn't have to welcome. For sure,
I ain't have to welcome that kind of energy. It
was already like on me. Like everywhere I go, I
had to look over my shoulder, people really trying to
do stuff to me. Like I had to drop out
of school for that for the exact same reason, right.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Because your life was on the line.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, for sure, Like it got one day. I used
to have to get dropped off from school like by
my homies and shit, like I couldn't catch the bus,
take public transportation people. Yeah, yeah, people really you know.
And on top of it, I was I was rapping
at the time too, so like my face was familiar
to every everybody, you know what I'm saying, Like not
it could be somebody that know me that want to
do something to me. I didn't know who they was,
(15:05):
and I was still in high school. So my homies
used to drop me off at school and shit, and
I smell like weed and they had kicked me out,
And then I got to call my homies like, man,
come back and get me. And he's like, bro, I'm
not gonna keep turned around after I'm halfway back to
the hood after twenty minutes, like you just gonna have
to stop going to that shit. And I just stopped
going to school.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Bro, I was it, damn? And what did Mom say?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
She ain't really know it first though I was. I
was hading from her. But I think my report card
came out I had like sixty absences on my shit
or something seventy apps. She like, you ain't going to school.
I'm like, Mom, I can't go to school, man, this
shit is too dangerous, like for real, for real, And
like I was always a kid that was super like smart,
and I was like I always knew how to like
(15:51):
express myself and what I was feeling. I wouldn't I
didn't really like like I would omit the truth, but
if it came about I would always like tell my
mom and dad what iut hed going on. So I
explained it to her and she went actually went up
to my school and had a conversation with the dean
and stuff like that, and it's all documented. Like the
dean at the school told her, like, man, he really
(16:13):
a smart kid, and he's doing his music like it's
picking up, like he got fans all through the school.
I feel like you should just let him chase the music, Like,
just let him pursue his career in music and you know,
hopefully something come from it. So she she put the
idea in my mom head, and my mom let me
do it. The dean of school, Dean, that's not how
it goes. Yeah, miss Jackson shouted to Miss Jackson.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Jackson, thank you, Miss Jackson.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
He was playing your music too.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I mean the whole school.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Did they ever ask you to perform?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I went back and did stuff like for my school,
but when I was there now, not at the time
when I was going to school, but I went back
and like performed songs at my school before.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, yeah, damn that's crazy for what life. Yeah, for sure,
And here we are.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I still support my high school though, Like I still
go to the basketball games and stuff like that, show
up just to just to show them, like you know,
it's possible, you could do it too. Like I walked
these same halls. It was in the classes that y'all
was in, and you know, face the same adversity y'all
face on the day to day, and I made some
of my life, so you know you could do it too,
So I try to go back as much as possible.
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
What I'm jack.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
You do think there's ever gonna be a time where
we see the songs that didn't make this album? Because
you said that there's like probably at least like twenty
three songs that didn't make it on different albums.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Uh. Probably, So yeah. I tend to do that a lot,
Like I always have music that I recorded, like from
two years ago or something that might make a project.
And I think this Greatest Rapper Alive it's kind of
like a like a brand now, so it's like I
might do a part two apart three. Yeah for sure, Yeah,
I definitely. I don't think it's just a one time
thing for me at all, So yeah, yeah, probably so.
(17:51):
And I think I like this sample so much, like
I like the sample flips. It's such a like a
classic nostalgic feeling. So it's like, I, even if I'm
not doing the Greatest Rapper Live, just to put some
of those kind of records on an actual album for real,
like a sounddope too.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
So yeah, now Duffel is crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It's one of my favorites. Duffel, Yeah, for sure. Duffel
of course went legit the g phasos.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Legit is crazy.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You know you got one, so that's crazy. I didn't
even Bro. It's still like I'm kind of still like
in all of it in a way, like I can't
leave that I really called it. I'm just having fun
like I didn't. I didn't expect this at all. Like
for sure, I feel like it's going to definitely years
to come and probably be one of my biggest records
that I ever.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Did you know when you asked the DJ to run
it back live, when you're performing it live, then you know.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah for sure, and they do it. I was in
the club, man, my homie played it. He was djm Bro.
We was all drunk, just having fun and ship. He
played the song literally like thirty five times back to
back and one time though like I'm not exactly right,
thirty five or forty times back to back to back
to back in the club treatment and they wrapped it
every time. Everybody in the club wrap that ship all
(19:03):
forty times. I'm like, damn, this ship is crazy. I
couldn't believe it. I'm like wow. And we was in Atlanta.
You know, Atlanta, a tough crowd. They don't really give
a funk about none of this ship. Atlanta Atlanta and
New York Atlanta, super tough Atlanta. The toughest crowds I
ever performed in front of was Atlanta, New York, Detroit,
(19:27):
in Houston. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, because they all got their own vibes and sounds.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's like they all like you could you would see
a celebrity on any given day, and they don't really
care about that ship for really, they don't excite them.
Like everybody's just all over the place and everybody got
some money. So it's like if you're not if they're
not really a fan of the music, like they not
in all, we like the image like they gotta be
the music.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, you almost have to be like a local star
to get that.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah. Yeah, for sure, definitely, for sure. Earlier one of
my favorites, Legendary. Have you ever met No, no, no, no, no,
I haven't here. I never I never met asked he was?
He like one of my favorite icons though, for sure, though, like, yeah,
I never met ice Cube, My mama. My mom loved
(20:13):
ice Cube, so it's like that was that's like celebrity crushing. Ship.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Wait, ice Cube was your mom? Celebrity crush your mom
and Selena gold Man.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
That's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I didn't know about Selena go Man.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
That's so funny, Ship. She said.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
She's like, I feel like he just protect me.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah, your mom feel the same way.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah yeah, ice c the goat Man watching his movies
yeah hell yeah, yet Friday every single one of them,
Like I know, every single ice Cube movie for sure,
like a classic.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah hell yeah yeah. When you think about it, bro,
Like this song of all to think about his career
is crazy that like he like I feel like he was.
I mean, you don't really get where you where he
is in life, like by coincidence. So it's like he
was already planning to be a mogul back then, Like
for a nigga to be doing that, like go from
(21:10):
a group, go solo, make all that great music solo
and then going to movies right in the midst of
his career, the height of him being a rapper for real,
Like yeah, that's crazy. That's like he was the first.
He was really like he was on the first to
do it. Yeah, and he got the Big Three. Like
that's super mogul status.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Should be watching ice Cube. We should be studying ice
Cube learning from now.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm studying him all the time, Like I ain't gonna
lie like every time when I see I'm the type
of guy like I go watch like a person's whole career,
step by step, Go watch the movies. Go watch like
not like just the funny movies. I'm going to watch
straight out of company. I'm going to watch Boys in
the Hood and just how like that shiit, like what
it did for his career, And I'm trying to like
(21:53):
kind of mimic it in a way because history repeats itself.
Like if you're not really coming up trying to be
like or as great as the ones who did it
before you, then you're really not doing it correctly. Like
you know what I'm saying. That's the way to go,
are you? I'm plying on movies, plying no movies, but
I'm plying on those like monumental films that tell a
story about your life and going to your career.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I mean, dog, you survived a few scenes already.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Definitely life the Boys in the hood to get rich
of that trying. That's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I feel like you're getting shot at right and going
right through.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Your hat almost story. Yeah, that's a crazy scene right there.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Bro. Nah, that shit was crazy. And I saw when
that shit happened. I thought I got hit in the head.
I'm just talking to myself like, man, you better not
fall your ass fall you. Oh man, I'm just trying
to run. My head was hot as fuck. I just
feel the heat on my head. But it was really
just from the bullet going past.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
But at this point you think you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I never you know, I've never been shot before I
was a kid, So I'm like, I just feel heat
on my head. I'm like, fuck, man, this nigga just
hit me in the head. For real.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I was like, I wouldn't be able to put that many,
you know, that much thought into you know, getting shot
in the head. I mean it sounds like you you
had a lock on on. I was thinking like you
were thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I was thinking that it happened, like I swear to
God them and all, I'm thinking like, fuck, these niggas
just shot me in my fucking head.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You fucking fuck Yeah, Like I had just left a
photo shoot, so I'm just outside chilling and ship.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I was fresh as fundy, bro, I was sixteen. I
hit a brand new ass outfit, like I was fresh
as hell. And I hear my head on like kind
of like you know, cock a little bit, like we
was outside deepest hell, and I was just yeah, like that,
I hear my head exactly like I didn't have it
all the way on, Like I hear my ship like
cock to the left, a little bit hanging off my head.
(23:43):
And I was just talking to girls and ship, and
like somebody came and gave us a warning though, Like
two of my homies came and warned us, like, man,
get from off this corner. Bro. We just seen some niggas.
Ryan put hoodies on the ship and we were just
the lookout. Yeah, but we was just like arrogant for real.
We're like, man, fuck the niggas, Like we ain't leave.
Like me and my homie, we were like, man, fuck the
(24:03):
you think you know it all. We just wasn't scared
for real, Like man, fuck them, Man, they just gotta
go do what they gonna do, you feel me. But
we had girls right there. We told the girls to
walk off, and I'm glad that we did that because
we kind of like we saved them from getting into
the situation. And they pulled up. They just pulled up
and started shooting shit when I felt this ship on
my head and knocked my head off, and I'm like,
(24:24):
that's why I'm mean by like I was like strategically
critically thinking, because I'm like, fuck, man, my head is here.
I'm trying to run and I look back. I had
already got hit though when I got hit, but I
ain't get hitting the hit. So I look back and
I see two of my homies falling, and I just
yell like, man.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Get the fuck up, like they didn't trip.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I'm just like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I just like always and that's crazy. This is a
true story. Like I always just been like super loyal.
I'm seeing my homies farm I'm like, get up so
I could keep running, like come on, go with me.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
If not, I gotta go back now. I gotta getting
the fuck up off the float. And they got up,
and then we just kept running.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Oh god, oh that type of ship.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I mean, bro to survive that kind of shit is crazy, right,
but also creates great music great.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Lyrics definitely right, for sure, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, for sure, Like my kids never have to go
through that, they don't never have to never have to
go through that, never have.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
To experience it. You feel I'm saying like ever in
life is No, it's not even possible.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
No, it's and I think you did.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Like the best thing that you can do as an
adult who's been through a lot of PTSD from you know,
growing up is going to therapy and trying to figure
that out and trying to heal because sure, man, you
got to hear definitely destroy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You, definitely. And it's like, now of my life is
not that anymore, and I'm able to like see things
clearly and wake up and do what I want to do.
A lot of that from my past is kind of
like catching up to me. Like, you know, you feel
like survivor's guilt. You feel like try from you know
what I'm saying, the things that you've been through that
you have to heal from, and you in a whole
different space in life, and you just wonder like why
(26:06):
am I depressed? Why am I sad? Why do I
feel like, you know what I'm saying, feel all these
different emotions, So you gotta be able to heal and
just you know, kind of release that dead weight and
that trauma offer you so you can move on and
like be happy for the remaining of your life. Like
that's why I'm at with.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Everything for sure, because then your kids start to feel it. Yeah, definitely,
they don't even know why.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
They don't even know why, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
that's definitely true, and that's crazy, Like it's really that
energy and generational trauma passed down for generations generations. So
I'm definitely I'm breaking the curse day by day for
sure because of my kids. Yeah, what else are you
doing differently definitely than my parents? Communicating with my kids,
you know what I'm saying, and just making sure they

Speaker 5 (30:42):
A writer like.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Phone phone phone for sure. I do the voice notes
when I get an idea, like I do the voice notes,
and probably do like the first four balls, like the
way I write, though, are you only write the first
four eight bars, in the last four eight anything else
in the middle. I just freestyle, like I feel like
those are the toughest, the hardest part of a song,
the first four, in the last four anything else, I
(31:11):
kind of get it. Yeah, I just write the Yeah, yeah,
I just write the beginning of the end. If I'm
gonna write anything on paper, but majority of my music
if freestyle anyway, for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's right through the wires. Crazy rock Flock.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, all that's freestyle. Everything everything on their whole project,
I freestyle. I didn't write nothing on that except for
the only only song that I wrote was the song
that I dedicated to my daughter. Yeah, I love that
for sure. Everything else, Yeah, yeah, FAVET seventeen, I wrote
that one. But everything else now crazy bro.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yo, you're part of the twenty sixteen double XL Freshman class.
Yeah right, yeah, twenty sixteen. Bro, I feel like everyone
has had their moment in that class, right, and I
think you're still ascending for a good position.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
To be Yeah. No, definitely, man, I'm super grateful, Like,
and I was just talking about that class the other day.
I feel like that's the like the best class in
double history if you ask me.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
It's controversial for sure. Little Yeah now you little Dicky man,
Little Dicky is a star for real, Bro.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
He's a smart start smart yeah for sure. And I
like that good as a motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
You watch your show, Yeah, yeah, yeah, well he's a
superstar bro.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Crazy And that freestyle here for the for the freshman class,
yeah yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
For sure for sure, it definitely was, bro Like, that
was one of the most fun times, like you know
what I'm saying, just being an artist and connected with
my peers and ship because those are like kind of
like our first time is really seeing each other and
then our relationships grew from there.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You feel do you think those lists matter still?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
No, I don't think they matter at all. I really don't.
I mean, I feel like it's good for an artists
like to gain confidence when you like as at in
this industry, you always want like the credit, you know,
you always want your credit for the work that you
put in. But honestly, I don't really think it matter.
It don't matter at all, because it used to. It
(33:11):
definitely did.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Like in that year twenty sixteen drop, everybody's talking about
and disagreeing opinion.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
For sure, it's controversial, it's super controversial, but right now
and today's time, it's kind of physical. Yeah, yeah, kind
of pizzicle. But I think that has a lot to
do with the industry and the whole artistry of it too, though,
Like the artists aren't really like super into the music
and super excited for that moment the way we work,
Like you know what I'm saying, we really wanted that moment.
(33:37):
You feel what I'm saying, Like I made the song
about double Legcale when I ain't make the cover, like
you feel me like we really wanted that cover that moment.
And I feel like the artists in today's time really
don't like super want that moment. You feel what I'm saying,
Like it's just like it's like a photo shoot to them. Now,
Like all right, we're just gonna go through the double
X sales shit like we used to look forward to
the freestyles that came out like everything, Like we really
(34:00):
looking forward to hearing the freestyles. It was just a whole,
like an industry, a moment for the entire industry in
the world to see that, you feel what I'm saying.
So now I don't know if it's something that like
double X heal as a whole need to do to
make it, like, you know, to turn it back up.
I don't really know, but yeah, I feel like it's
(34:20):
kind of lost it like significance when when it comes
to like artists wanted to be on it, and when
they don't make it, they feel like they gotta go harder,
you know what I'm saying. Like now they're just like
all right whatever, I'm just doing me for yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yeah, it used to push artist. Yeah for sure, you
made a song about not making it. Yeah, push it hard,
like noah, fuck that.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah. I had a point to prove at that point,
Like you know what I'm saying. When I didn't make
it in twenty fifteen, I had a point to prove,
you know, so like yeah, yeah, and I made it
to make it.
