Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, we're going to cruise.
No intro today, episode 3.
Yaru stuck around.
He's back, still here.
We need a little music in thebackground though, producer
J-Van and, if you noticed, notproducer Trey.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
And why is that?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
It's kind of a sad story actually.
Yeah, he got word of the wholepush broom thing right and he
immediately hopped back on aplane to Turkey to get it taken
from down there and put back onhis lip.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
That's crazy, that's wild.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
He did not want to be known as the push broom.
I see he was pretty against it.
That's a long flight.
It is a long flight.
That's a long flight.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I mean well, why doesn't he just shave it off and
let it grow Pride Really.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Producer Trey my apologies, man.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
It Push broom didn't land Push broom.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It definitely fucking landed, it didn't stick, it's
going to stick, well it didn'tstick, did it push my question?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
The question is why would he get all the way back on
a flight to have them remove it, to put it back on, when he
could just shave it?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, he needed to stash back.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, but the stash would grow back.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Well, we don't know how his hair analytics work, oh
yeah, so they're going to takethe follicles out down below and
put it back on and restash them.
They could redo that Restash,restash.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Catfish.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Wow, and restash them .
They can redo that Restash,restash Catfish, well, okay.

Then I sell clothing and then.
I go to bed and I wake up anddo collabs and sell clothing,

You know I got a great.
You know, what's funny is notto like talk like this.

We sold a couple of custom acouple of hats a couple of
custom hats.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
You had that one.
It was like Velcro too.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, that was.
It was crazy that we had acustom hat.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, it was like a five panel.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
It was sick.
I mean that shit, that shit wascrazy, true, one-on-one I had
never been made again and, uh,you know, it sparked something
in me where I love hats.
Why am I not making moreBlackcraft hats inside this
Blackcraft world that I'm alwayswearing Like I have this this

(10:45):
whole.
I'm not gonna give away thewhole plan.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
I cannot give away the whole plan.
No dude, no fuck, no fuck, no,you dropped you dropped like
little ideas that's all you'regetting.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I dropped a little crumb, but that's all the fuck
you're getting.
But uh, yeah.
But you know I I'm really,really digging what you're
bringing to the table with thiscustom I really appreciate that
you know, and I know that and Iknow the chat is too.
You know, we have hundreds ofpeople in these shows that are
like fucking losing their mind.
I mean, we've only dropped.
How many pieces have we droppedso far?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
we've done two shows, three shows, two or three,
three, I think three shows,maybe 30 pieces, because we've
just been doing like a show,every show they sell out like
that like it's like yeah thecraziest custom one-on-one
pieces it is one of one so, andthat's what makes it so special
it's like you put

Speaker 3 (11:26):
a lot of time, you put a lot of effort.
You know what I mean.
You're carefully curating, kindof like what we do here.
You're carefully curating allthese pieces.
Um, you got an eye for thesethings, man it's, it's and it
just comes out really reallyfucking gnarly yeah, I, I mean,
I've been saying it.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think you know the rock world to me, like you, look
at what virgil did forstreetwear.
What, what do you callstreetwear, what?
you've done right pretty much Imean, if you look at what he's
done for that whole world andeven you know, even kanye, with
all that shit he did with thestreet worship back in day and
supreme and hundreds and yeahyou know all these guys.

(12:05):
I feel like if you look at therock world, it don't really
exist at all, like I mean y'allgot such an aesthetic man like
it didn't, it didn't translate.
Well, if you think about itright, like, take it, let's take
it back here to 20.
We're just a little story time,then we're getting some music.
But 2012 when we startedBlackcraft.

(12:25):
Bro, I'm gonna be honest withyou.
I can I challenge anyone that'slistening to this episode right
now Name a brand that's doingwhat I'm doing in 2012.
Yeah, name a brand.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'm being serious, I'm genuinely being serious now
In 2012.
In 2012.
Yeah, yeah, in 2012.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Who was doing this?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I'm being serious, yeah, no, nobody at all.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm being serious and look, there's some other brands
, you know, along the way thathave done some great things and
there's a lot of cool brandscoming up in our space.
I love it, yeah, but I do feellike we're one of the guys who
just kind of pioneered this.
You know, we kind of pioneeredthe goth alternative lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, you absolutely did Branding yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Right.
Yeah, you absolutely did.
Branding right is what I wouldsay.
But I think what you'rebringing to the table is I think
we could really help elevateand kind of bring that
streetwear culture to the rockworld, because if you look at
the streetwear world, andespecially of rappers, they all
want to be rock stars.
The rappers are the new rockstars right, because the rappers
are all dressing in oversizedmanson tees or oversized slayer
tees travis scott wearing youknow or kanye wearing whatever
it was.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
It's literally what everyone wore in the 90s.
Yeah, it's coming back.
It's totally coming back.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
You're seeing those vintage slayer tees, oversized
tees on kylie jenner you know or?
Justin bieber wearing a mansontee like that.
Shit's sick to me and I thinknow's the time where I'm looking
at it's funny man, because thisis, I'm giving a little
playbook here, but we're soahead of it so I'm not tripping.
But you look at what we did in2012 for for the alternative

(14:03):
culture of clothing and I don'tthink it gets talked about
enough.
To be honest with you, I don'tthink there's no one really
talking about it, like thestreetwear world, how the
hundred supreme off-white likeyou don't hear alternative
clothing ever be named and shitif you really don't ever you
know what I mean.
It's unfortunate, yeah, butwe're, but we're getting it put
on the map.
It's just different culture,it's just a different world.
But, yeah, I think, with whatyou're bringing to the table of

(14:25):
this, it's going to help it getit there.
It's going to really help, Ithink, bridge the gap.
I really do and and I know wecan't talk about a whole lot of
this, but there's a major, majormerch player here that really
believes in you um, thanks toyou so you know it's called
global we've said it a coupletimes, but it's called global,

(14:46):
but it's called global.
You know, uh, I know they reallybelieve in kind of what you
built.
When I walked it in there, Iwas like yo, I think I got the
virgil of of what we could dofor the rock world.
Yeah, you know, uh, I know theyreally believe in kind of what
you built.
When I walked it in there, Iwas like yo, I think I got the
virgil of of what we could dofor the rock world yeah, you
know, and I mean that in thehighest compliment.
I know, connie, I don't likevirgil or I don't know if
anyone's fucking with connieanymore, but I don't know about
all that shit anymore.
That shit's too wild for me,too much too much for me that

(15:07):
whole conversation, that's,that's that's all that's just
too much, that's just I don't

Speaker 2 (15:12):
even we're gonna leave it there.
You let that stay over there.
But that's gotta stay overthere.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
But you know what I'm trying to say like I feel like
it feels good to kind of really,I think really elevate
alternative fashion in a weirdway, but in a different lane,
because if you look at thealternative space I'll say it
again right now, it's 2025.
This kind of takes you back to2020.
12.
Nobody.
I'll say it again right now,it's 2025.
This kind of takes you back to2012.
Nobody is doing what we'redoing right now.

(15:36):
Live shopping is the future.
No one's doing this shit rightnow.
Go on, whatnot right now?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
There's fucking shit on there.
I mean, nobody was doing it onInstagram when you started.
I know, I know Once again, youknow.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
It feels good to pioneer.
I'm looking to the future.
So, uh, make sure, you makesure again.
You know, as we're talkingabout the custom clothes, go to
the app store right now,download whatnot.
It is so much fucking fun.
Yeah, it's so much more thanjust a shopping.
It is and it is.
We are constantly giving backlike this.

No, but I'm influential.

I see.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
To gradually destroy or damage.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Corroded.
That makes more sense for thissong.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
You were talking about clogged arteries.
He was talking about thecarotid artery.
Carotid artery.

Speaker 3 (29:21):

I had it for a reason , bro.
I'm tired of this shit wherepeople are like people don't

great start.
You got to start somewhere,yeah.
So I get back to help thesebands, uh, and I'll tell you
what's crazy as we ramp up thiswhole unsigned band podcast,

(53:54):
jake's back from touring, youknow, we get the whole ghost the
do you believe in ghost podcastcoming back.
We are building out black craftmedia, yep, and we will be
marketing this a lot fuckingbetter, like through emails,
through texting, through whatnot, like.
I just wanted to lay a littlebit of the groundwork and get it
going and then, boom, we'regonna hit some crazy marketing.
No-transcript, because you'regoing to see some fucking
numbers jump.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Yeah, especially you, jargus yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Well, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
That's insane.
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Yeah, I'm excited to see what's to come, man, because
that's just as an artist myselfnot musician but when anyone
especially that has a platformcan help, can help.
Yeah, and, and really lookingfor that talent for no reason
other than just showcasing it.
It's huge, you know, becauseyou put a lot of work into that.
I can hear the blood sweat,tears for sure just love that

(54:43):
everybody put in there.
So yeah, what you're doing isincredible.
I'm glad that you are biggingyourself up for having the
number one show.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
You know, I mean, that's not bragging, that's just
I mean, sometimes you got tojust let everyone know what the
fuck's up, because the onlyreason I talk like that too
about the number one show thingis is it proves my point.
I mean, amazon is the numberone business in the world, right
next to like what?
Apple, google, tesla, whateverthey're up there.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Once you're up there, it's it don't matter one you're
flying, so high

Speaker 1 (55:09):
you're all together, but they believed in our show so
much they bought it.
Yeah, and that was all unsignedartists.
That whole thing was all aboutunsigned bands.
They didn't buy it for anyother fucking reason.
Yeah, well, that's not true.
They bought it because of dwpwith the festivals and they
really wanted to streamfestivals and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
But a big chunk of that was unsigned bands yeah I
mean the, the unsigned bandsalone that got to play all these
festivals.
And like that's not got, thathasn't gone away.
Right, it hasn't gone away,that's still.
We're in the works but, it's,it's coming correct, like we're
like this.
This is.
This is month one.
This is contest one.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
This is a thousand dollars.
Oh yeah, there's gonna be someshows where you're gonna be
battling for some danny winterfestivals.
I bet I've got to get Danny tosign off on that, but I bet, I
bet you.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
These opportunities are coming for these unsigned
bands to reach thousands,hundreds of thousands or tens of
thousands, whatever the number,is more than they already do.
You know, what I mean.
We see that you care about yourwork.
We see that you care about yourwork.
We see that you give a shit.
We see that you're trying andpromoting and doing all this
stuff.

(56:15):
Why wouldn't we give back toyou?

Speaker 1 (56:18):
I agree, you know I love it.
I'm grateful for everyonetuning in listening to this shit
.
Everyone shows up on whatnot.
Anyone goes toblackcraftcallcom, anyone goes
to blackcraft coffee or evenjust follow fucking us and
support us.
I'm grateful, it's cool great,good journey.
Keep making music, keepsubmitting yeah, keep going,
keep going, and I think that'ssomething big to talk about.

(56:38):
You know, I always like, Ialways like touching on it
because I do think even myself,for the success of I've had, or
whatever it is, there's daysthat get hard, and I know those
days where it's like oh, manfuck, today's just a day, I
don't know.
You got it.
You just got to show up and doit.
You know, and absolutely.
And it's about being consistent.
But what I've come to realizeabout the consistency, the key
thing about consistency thatI've come to realize is I've

(56:59):
always, for so long in my head,consistency to me was always
showing up every day, giving ita hundred percent.
That's not consistency.
I've learned that's notconsistency.
It's showing up on days whereyou don't want to show up at all
and you still give it fucking20%, 10%.
You still showed up.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
You still got to do it.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
So I'm a big believer in that.
I agree, as a human, you got tobe realistic.
You cannot show up every singleday 100%.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
No, but as long as you show up.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
You can't as long as you show up, but you can show up
.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Of course You're good .
Of course, because you neverknow, you might start that day
at 20%, you might wind up at 80%.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
You never know.
You might wind up at 100%, youmight wind up.
You know what I mean.
Of course you got to keep going.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Yeah, you got to keep going.
Give yourself grace, yep youknow.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
But just know, like, keep it going.
Tomorrow might be double mightbe, you never know.
Gotta keep going and then yougotta sit back say, okay, what
can I do a little differenttoday?
But don't be so hard onyourself, but anyway, that's
where we're at.
