we're just trying to get the groundedfollow the process. Man. That's a

(12:30):
beautiful thing, right, because alot of people don't like sometimes people try
to be individuals and try to gooutside of it. But what I like
about you all and filthy, Whatwhat I admire about what you're doing.
It's almost like on some early macdre shit. Yeah, like when he
said this is what I want thisis to be and I was seeing your

(12:52):
interview with Lower Rap and he waslike, man, you know, I'm
putting everybody in a position to doit and stick to the script and stick
to the to the program. Youknow what I'm saying, Like, what
gave you motivation? Because like betweenme and you, were you boyd or

(13:13):
like tomorrow I got to meet himwith guys, Yeah we have him.
Don't be wound me too, right, because nigga need to feel that void.
Yeah what I'm saying. So it'slike, you know, that's a
big stepping stone just to fall back. But that's what I've been focused on.
I've been focused on that for yearsnow, trying to figure it out.
Then you know, I was sittingon my album for like damn there

(13:35):
a year. You know what I'msaying, due to my legal issues.
Lawyer just like just hold off untilthe end. So I've just been sitting
on that and then just getting alla ends and out. Was taking care
of make sure they know what thisis like it's as far as the artists,
yes, yes, it ain't norest having this ain't no daycare.

(13:56):
I don't feel I don't got nocar. See in the back of the
car, you fem me riding aroundbabysitting nobody Like like you you don't kill,
you don't eat. You know whatI'm saying. You gotta ring to
the table over here, right,so you gotta you gotta weed them out,
you know, the ones that justwant to come over talk about it
for an Instagram post or or achain, or for a follow or for

(14:20):
a push or and really not herefor the movement, just a moment.
How annoying is that? Like dealingwith people like like, because not really
annoying me because I know it comeswith it. Got him watch other CEOs
and business no label heads deal withthe same thing, so I know it's
there. I wish I wouldn't haveto deal with it, but I have.

(14:43):
You know what I'm saying, It'sjust part of the game. Family,
learn, fem you take your eilswith your ws. My nigga Elias
was like, He's like, bro, you go, you don't understand,
Like brou nigga see shit and theysee an Instagram post, they get motivated
for like twenty four hours a week, and then they be alcoholics and drug
addicts and you feel me. Ilike to do what I do too,

(15:03):
But it'd be like broad they don'thave no type of focus or training,
discipline, discipline. How do youfind how do you weed them out?
Is it just like I mean,because I mean you people peep peep some
signs. He's not really early.You just start seeing it. I mean,
it comes with it, like youknow, they start getting jealous of
the other artists, or they mightbe at war with their self, you

(15:28):
know what I'm saying, when takeit out of you? You know what
I'm saying, uh, Or it'sjust little things they say you catch like
they might be playing, but they'reserious, like they say little slick shit
like you're here. You know whatI'm saying, You'll catch it, you
know. So I mean it's happening. It's happening, you know. Salute
to those you know what I'm sayingthat failed to the side. You know,

(15:50):
but you know, I really ain'tseen nothing happen for them successful after
that, right, you know whatI'm saying. So, I mean,
I'm sure they wish they were ableto. You know, a lot of
people they want overnight. I saidthat too, they want overnight. That's
what I was saying they don't theydon't understand the grind of this ship.
Like I seen Raw say something likethat, and they like, I ain't

(16:11):

really like really seeing a bag offthis ship. Like you know what
I'm saying. You know, ifyou adding up shooting videos, studio time,
mixing, mastering, traveling, travelingshit, artwork, whatever it is,
you're doing promotion and you're marketing allthat that shit costs, you know

(18:47):
problems, no shootings, no fighting, no arguments. You know what I'm

what I'm saying. Like when youhad to learn that later on two when
you were a lita bility like andwe ain't bringing it ga up to the
club because you're gonna be a shootingand we got I mean we got insurance
on the club. You know whatI'm saying. Shit like that, Like
even with the in the early stageswith this, like I remember I used

(19:08):
to be see Von like be mad, like, man, why I ain't
give me no interview? I ain'tplaying my song? You got what I'm
saying. So I'm like, youknow, like brother, you know certain
people that they fuck with it morelike the people person I might be unapproachable,
right, you know what I'm saying. So they're like, man,
I'm not about to bring him upto Camille and he come up here with

(19:29):
fifty niggas and they smoking weed,they got guns, they're doing you know
what I'm saying. Not saying thatthey can't control the nigga, but it's
like, bro, we don't evenwant to be bothered with that man.
So you got to learn how toseparate the business from your feel me from
from street ship. Like what you'retrying to do with this shit. It's
crazy how you speak about that andthe people that I talked about, how

(19:49):
I've had some of your artists shoutout to Pedro Classic, which left me
the studio right now left, bro, Like I've been working all days since
I've been you told me. Youwas like, Bro, I'm out here
today, end yesterday like this,which is what I came out here to
do. Right. I ain't comeout here to sit in the room or
or an Airbnb or on the block, like I came out here to you

(20:11):
feel me to do what I hadto do. I a ship like the
video shoot studio. Show my faceover here, show my face over here.
You you know what I'm saying,Bro, I appreciate it, brut
because I'm what I was. Iwas talking a little rap about this,
and what I was gonna say wasFonte and Pedro they came super professional.

(20:33):
They had they shit in order,and you feel me and you're doing the
same thing. But what I was, what I was saying was was basically
like I appreciate you, and Iwas talking a little rab like brout.
We gotta get the Bay Area onthe level, and I feel like you're
doing it from the from the labelaspect. I'm trying to do it from
behind the scenes where we just makeit bigger. You feel me, Like

(20:56):
when niggas come to the Bay theyneed to come to feel my mic little
raps whatever. It's just it's justabout looking like something. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying, putting intheir face looking like something like I always
looked at it like No, Iwatched an interview being Meth niggas. They
was like, if it's just onenigga with the shirt on, then then

(21:17):
seeing twenty niggas with the shirt on, it's a bigger Yeah, you know
what I'm saying. Now, wemight not have the same shirt on.
He might got the same chain,or he might be representing the same thing
or pushing the same movement, andit looks a lot bigger than just one
nigga saying like and he probably wouldn'tgetting noticed, but niggas walking ain't gonna

(21:37):
stand out Like Okay, that's them, you know what I'm saying. And
we're all looking like something. Weall got some shit going on. We
dropping music, you know what I'msaying. We were pushing so and gonna
respect it. Let me ask youa question, why do you think you
get like not like a bad rap, but like why do people think you
cocky? They don't know because theydon't know. Niggas me thinking feel haloky,

(22:02):
Like brother Nigga had look cool.That's because he don't talk to you.
I mean because they don't know me, got you, So they're going
off. They might be going offwith another nigga that don't know me said
to them, mad because he can'tget a verse, or going off of
a female that don't know me saidto them mad because I ain't trying to

(22:27):
talk through her, you know whatI'm saying, Or or they just could
just be going off nigga Instagram postsvideo or with a nigga guide or like
me, I keep it respectable,like definitely, if I go somewhere,
like I treat the janitor like thelike the like the boss what I'm saying.
So it's like like I go tothe hood, I speak to everybody,

(22:48):
I shake hands, I feel Ishow love. I don't go nowhere
and be acting cocky. I probablywouldn't have lasted this long, you know
what I'm saying, Like wherever itis, like, that's what it's about.
Like so like the niggas that dodo that or act like that,
they don't even know nigga around.That's a I mean you I've not but
I am I am anti because it'dbe so much fake shit. So it's

(23:14):
like okay, cool, Like that'sa bar you you you can't. You
can't set you, You can't setyourself up for failure. You always gotta
you gotta keep in the back ofyour mind because like when you meet certain
niggas, you meet him in character. So if so, if I bump
into a rapper right now, heain't gonna tell me his real name,
He's gonna tell me his rapper name, so he ain't character of him being

(23:34):
a rapper. So I'm not gonnalearn who he really is until later on
down the line. I'm not gonnaknow he is snitch or he backedoor his
potting, or he ain't rapping,living with he rapping, he ain't writing
his own but whatever flaw about him, you know what I'm saying, You're
not gonna figure that out to lateron. So okay, So with that

(23:55):
being said, I just try tolike I haven't been through that with so
many people, so it's like,brah'm I don't really let to me many
people in yeah, because it's it'snot worth it like it Like it's like
you, it's not now to thepoint where you don't even be surprised,
like niggas be like, bro,you ain't you ain't mad I'm like,
shit, Bro, this a rapshit, Bro, this what goes with
this ship? You know what I'msaying. So I've heard you say that
so many times. But at firstI'd be like, but I had to

(24:18):
get out of that, like becausemy niggas, my street niggas, they
be like brun nigga did that,bro, like ready to be tripping.
I'm you know what I'm saying,Like, why you ain't something like Bro,
it's rap Bro's it's what they do. You can't get mad at everything.
You just be pulling your hair.I can't get mad at nothing.
You can't control right, control thecontrollables. So that's why I just focus

(24:38):
on what's mind. Bro. Itend to stay on my niggas and make
sure we all think and we ontop ride. Shit, we last on
coming last, We're moving right,moving correctly. You know what I'm saying.
We staying on top ride game.And that's just it with them niggas
doing over there. I don't know. I don't worry about it, nah
for real for real? Uh youseem like I know you don't like sports

(25:00):

seem like like a Magic Johnson,Like you seem like you getting hell of
joy. No, I'm saying yousee like you know what I'm saying,
Like I feel it. I feelit. You like to win. Magic
Johnson was a winner. I'm justsaying, like it seems like you're getting
a lot of joy and just givinga ball to someone else and seeing it.

(25:25):
It's like the team still win andthe points still get scored. You
know what I'm saying. Like thethe referees don't argue with the owners,
you know what I'm saying. Theydown there talking to the coaches or whatever.
If me be up in a skybox, a man ain't pat ball,
you know what I'm saying, puthim off the bench that do this,

(25:47):
you know what I'm saying. Butthe game still? Are you hands on
with all your artists like Debo orwhoever, a man anything that I fuck
with got a investment with a tellingme I got to be like, what's
the point of even it was pointing? I mean some people just like to
put the stamp on it. Yeah, investing just putting the stamp on it.

(26:07):
And you gotta be on top ofoverseeing all the albums, artwork videos

about the car, It's about niggagoing there and go fuck it up,
right, you know, and that'swhat that's how they look at We don't
even we don't even start thinking likethat. So we like thirty thinking like

(45:30):

I remember where I was. Ithink I'm in Miami. I'm with the
nigga Jim Jones, right, andthen uh, the niggas say, I'm
ain't about that. I'm about torent this car, pull up to the
