Speaker 3 (03:01):
People wasn't here to watch streaming.
But as far as YouTube, probablyonly YouTube solo, not really.
It wasn't there to be creepy,but that's how I do it.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I want to say, if I know where this is going at, if
y'all watch somebody, you knowthey don't know how to go at it.
They started it earlier, atleast so I was.
I had like.
I had a camera with Ed.
It was for my school.

(04:21):
They let me use it.
It actually was a photo camerawhen I was recording videos, so
their quality sucked.
It was like 2017.
I was like I'm gonna play itand ask you guys questions.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, so basically okay, when you're shooting like
that, it gave you the courage tojust keep creating content.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I think I've given that the courage.
I've never been serious aboutmaking content or putting it out
, which I think is've been therefor the first time.
I've never been scared of beingcaught on board with a dog,
which I think is my biggestattribute, because people are
scared of what they saw.
They think I'm a dog, theythink I'm a book or it's not the
same thing as what they compareme to.
But I've never been afraid todrop a dog I've never known.
You're not just saying it, okay.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
So Clark, when you were writing, the first time I
saw you was a day in the living,yeah, so give us three of that.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
So making the baby a movie from oh snap, oh my, it's
a deep night, oh my gosh, yeah,alright.
So making, made it really from.
I was doing skits and I wouldmake it so I could feel it and

(05:31):
then I'd feed the people whoreally regretted it.
But before I could make it,they just really.
I was already doing skits butnobody could stand the tension,
nobody could hear it.
So I was like man, this is thesame skit I made.
And I could feel the other sideof it.
Everybody thought I was likewhat if I didn't appear?
So I was like man, this is thesame skit I made.
And I could feel the other sideof me.
I said, all right, say it again.
So I realized it was liketrying to get all the people to

(05:53):
feel me and I just needed a newtitle.
And once I gave them that newtitle and I did the first one, I
really was like yo, I don'tknow how it's gonna go, but I
had to have time.
Everybody was looking on TikTok, so you know, Instagram.
Not how Instagram used to be.
They used to judge pictures.
I didn't post on Instagram.
I'm like I'm just posting onTikTok.
I was here to post on Instagram.
Yeah, I had my mom and familyover there.

(06:16):
They were like why are youwalking in the car with a big
load of food?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Like they won't get it.
I'm like I did, I did, but Ibooked on a six-hour, I got two
of the big lights?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, so I put on the lights and I said, oh, you
heard what I said.
We went in there and I was like, yes, I rang it up.
Yeah, I rang it up, yeah.
And I was scared to film whilepeople were in the car, so I
used to lie in my unit.
You could grab your tongue fromthe store, send it out, run it
to the store, get me shares ofmine.
And I was sent to the store togo buy something and rush to do

(06:49):
the video, or, like I could beoutside, I used to make business
in a way that I didn't know howto do, so that I could do the
content.
And then I was supposed to belike I can do this, and I was
like aw, no, I snatched the micaway, but it's still my question
.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
You see how I'm feeling people behind me like
that they're still my question.
I ain't saying I was gonna askthat question.
That was crazy you can still doit.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
No, man, ayo, all three of our hosts got different
mindsets on certain things.
So what do you think?
Ex-sisters, non-ex, full-onex-sisters, y'all don't get
everything, so don't get worriedabout it.
Hey, bro man, you know Big, bigsupporter, big supporter.

(07:42):
Let's give it up for him.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
One more time let's give it up for him.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
One more time, let's give it up for him one more time
.
One more time, man, one moretime.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Big supporter who says the first, like I don't
know if you can see it, but dayone and all that, Phil, you was
one of the people that when westarted this, you was always my
first, I feel you first.
So I wanted to ask you thisfirst, right?

(08:14):
You know, I tell people all thetime that you know the shit
down there, you know the songs,you know the things in that
y'all, y'all, community, y'all.
I mean all these other peoplelike that in here in the world,
like they're crazy as well.

(08:35):
They're from differentcountries, different.
You know what I'm saying.
So how does it feel being apart of that?
Are you a big part of it?
You can look at any things, anymusic, any whatever, and you
hear it, and it ain't really toomuch to speak what I'm saying.
So how does it feel to have afeedback on the work?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It feels really good.
As time goes it just aged sowell, especially because in the
midst of doing it and droppingthat music I was just at a point
.
I really just always had thatlike what am I interested in?
I'm just going to get what'sinteresting.
So I was getting that music andjust had fun and I think I saw

(09:24):
a lot of people just trying tolike even work with people who
are angry.
It was like no, just have fun,bro.
I think it's not dance, it'swhat you think about.
You think to work, like just go.
So I was just going and it justfeels good to be such a part of
it.
Anytime I hear some music I'mlike I don't know somebody in
the room, somebody in your room,somebody in your room?

(09:46):
You know that dance the rep.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I just wanna know, would you actually be a streamer
and you also, would you be arapper?
I wanna know what you do in apositive that right now there's
so much new activity going on.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Like, what do you do if you?
Well, for real friend, I knowthat everybody around me gonna
be menacing, so I'm gonna bewaiting for it to happen so I
can show the people that supportme why they plan us.
Like that's my story.
Like there's still many plansout here, though we're gonna

(10:24):
keep doing our thing and I don'tthink we gonna wait for
somebody to do the plan so I canshow y'all how to do the plan
and we're not gonna tap them,we're just gonna keep it pushing
.
So, and then the other, the lawof this.
Like I can still look, like yo,this is how you do it, y do
this.
We need to do that and we allhave to do that.
For the people that I care,this is how you go about it.

(10:47):
How can people come out and goabout it?
Thank you for that.
Yeah, that's that and that'sthe mindset that Mark said
shouldn't be thinking aboutmindset anymore.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's the beauty of the mind.
You could have done a wholeother way about it.
Yeah so Excellent questions,corey.
You could have done a littlebit better play about that.
Yeah so, excellent question,bro.
So listen right, you know a lotof people that you know that
kind of you and everybody else apart of you.

(11:20):
You know and for some reason,like you always like to check me
or tune into me more.
For some reason, you alwayscheck me or tune into me more
about how everybody is doing,like you always check me or I
more, feel me or not Tune intome more.
One thing I always notice whenI start speaking to you is that

(11:46):
you really love her.
You know people really love her.
You know, like people say,you're one of the, a real good
friend, a real good person atheart and things like that.
So I know you won't get intothe like the shooting.
You know front side, but Iwanted to touch on that first.

(12:07):
What possessed you to be thattype of person where you got
good heart and you have a goodfriend and things like that.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I think that it was my mom, brother and the way she
raised me, but I definitelythink the way I'm building it
now is something that I createdand I know that my supporters or
people that actually changewhat they like, you know when
you go in this era.
I know they really love you,because that's what I push out.
That's what I push out for real.
And even when people receivetheir love without putting up,

(12:40):
they're not getting love again.
That's when it's like oh,people tell me that A lot of
people feel like they want to belike.
You know, such and suchdifferent, like, oh, difference
is being pushed out of my life,negativity is being pushed out
of my life.
That doesn't come fromnegativity.
It's just like I can, I willlove.
So that's why, regardless ofwhat I do, I do it regardless.

(13:01):
I can do what you claim anything, because I'm pushing out love.
So if you got somebody madly inlove, they still hear it
different, because it's not justrhythm, it's thorough, it's
rhythm.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
So the two men as big as you are so early in age,
right?
Yes, and you see all thesethings and everybody else in
here right now and they don'thear it from you, like, talk to
us about it.
We, we, we got leaders of ourculture.
We needed all these things, weneeded to help.

(13:33):
So we in here, everybody inhere, and they in here for a
while.
Right, I just want you all tounderstand that we got leaders
of our culture and he is one ofthem.
He's leading the whole cultureand all the world and I just
want you to talk to the kids andhow big being a leader is and
keeping, like I was just talkingabout that positive mindset to

(13:57):
be these kids of the past now,because when they hear you talk
to them, they think you knowRob's saying this, because he
did this to get him to hear it.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, I think anybody that's in the crowd right now
that want to do content or thatwant to do something similar to
what I do or similar tosomething that somebody that I
work with is doing.
I'm telling you, everybody wholike famous or get to it or
successful, they literally well,for a long period of time, you

(14:31):
know to have all the good in youbecause it is certain it's
different ways of getting it.
You don't need to hire a guy.
You know I don't need a guy tohire me.
I need a guy.
There's other ways to do it.
You can do it that way.
But everybody that I'm speakingabout and I'm about to tell you
all this, they're eating theirstuff, like literally.
So, just down to like anything,people is like picking on you

(14:52):
or trying to dig about or youneed to eye them because that's
you, that's you, that's what youdo.
So, even down to like forever,I don't care if you're a kid who
can't set up headphones forlike six years.
You're gonna give me theseheadphones.
You're gonna give me theseheadphones.
I know I want these, I reallyneed them.

(15:15):
Nobody wants to tell me not towear headphones, but that's what
I do.
Nobody wants to say you can'twear this like that, you can't
talk like that.
You feel me Because that's whatmakes me me, and I never sit up
and I see me through and I justsay, like I know a lot of
people, who talk to me like yo,just be yourself.
I'm gonna tell you what I reallymean.
I really mean, like anythingthat somebody hate you for,
that's what you're gonna befamous for.

(15:35):
Yo, all you from this band,chillin' World, yo, I made a lot
of money off this.
I made a lot of money off this,because more money than the
person that's probably talkingabout it.
Or, like, someone got his wish,like that's the same thing that
we want Watch.
The next saw a video of myEnglish words in the morning.
I just like to comment like,yeah, this shit is not

(15:58):
appreciated.
That's a thing.
That's your first game.
That's your first game.
And then when you switch it upto accommodate for your first
fan, that's your first fan.
And then when you switch, whenyou switch it up to accommodate
for your first fan, you lose,because that's right here.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yo, gorg, gorg, just said you're like an actress you
see and you already know yeah,hey, I did it.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
I did it.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
And it's crazy because yeah, it's crazy because
I'm not the only one who's justsitting right.
Yeah, it's crazy because I knowthat you used to think like
that, but I don't know Someonefrom Philly that's going very
well said like they used tolaugh at me and when I eat some
of this and all that, and thatjust kept doing what it kept
doing.
That was going on his brain andwhat it really did.

(16:42):
So that's it.
That's what's going on in hisbrain and what he really knew.
And that's that, if you know itand if you want to try all
these signs for good what theyknow for you.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
You suggest it.
You feel what I'm saying?
Yeah, I don't even think it'seasy, like it's not easy.
They know it's not easy.
They can't control it.
You can't get better.
That's why I don't want to putout some of these eight times.
You gotta.
That's your first test of beingfamous right here.
That's your first test as soonas they beat you.
You can't overcome.
Wanna beat them.
You can't overcome a milliontimes.

(17:11):
So you're not ready.
So once they go on that, you doit again, and it's two, maybe
three, like you.
Just gotta keep getting them togo.
The sky receives too much heat.
I can see, but baby, last nightthe students got scared.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, yo, hey, mix the noise back.
Man, mix the noise back,alright.
So, yeah, smart, smart, verysmart.
I wanted to ask you guys aquestion.
So you know, I've been readingfor a long time, even if it's

(17:48):
music, internet hosting whateverphotos, whatever.
So I always, make sure, talkedabout the streaming and things.
But I want to get into thisright.
So your streaming technique isa little different.

(18:12):
Like you know, like, like, like, like you were like you post a
video for hours and I had toslap my grandma because she was
like some son of a bitch.
Y'all know what I'm talkingabout, right, you know what I'm
saying.
So, like that's art, y'all.
Like this is it?
Yeah, and it's funny, but it'sart.

(18:35):
Like you don't do it, you dothis.
Like this.
I'm like this is the best photoever.
They really know, but youpeople, so it's like you really
be telling the story about whatyou yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
So what made you come today?
You know what's crazy.
So to go back to the thingwhere I said I'm going to switch
this song, I was like, so I'mgoing to go there again.
Oh geez man.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Man, y'all yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's my first you know that.
Yeah, you know, you know I'mgonna be like, genuinely, what I

(19:28):
tell you could happen in onehour, but I wanna tell you I'm
always feeling that on.
I wanna tell you how I felt.
I'm a drag, and I'm a draguntil we get to see it, because
it's not the second.
It's not the second.
And even when I tell youstories, I need to grow.
I actually need to grow.
So when I first started, I usedto name drop and all that
People would call me.
I'm talking about me.
Remember how my babies wouldsay like you talk to me, you
talk to me.
My babies would call me rightafter I left.

(19:50):
So I stopped saying their namesand all that, but like I'm just
telling my story.
I'm just being dramatic about itand people can't do it like me,
because the way I look at it, Ilook at it, I stand up.
I look at it, I stand up.
I'm like I'm busy, I'm busy,I'm busy, what's up?
It's just me.
And I say yo, it's so weird.

(20:11):
I say yo, I'm just sittingthere, I'm looking at it, I'm
peeing, I'm feeling it.
You're like the fucking thing.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
You just got put into a dream, you just got put mean
yeah, I'm a drag man, so so likeit's crazy though, bro, because
like like what I just said andI want to do well, like it's
really, really, really, reallylike an honor and like like a
different type of like, buteverybody in the park will know

(20:41):
me and know I'm genuine dude,and now we just say stuff called
Phillip and the fact that youare a big instance to the league
and you're from Philadelphiaand you're doing it in
Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
It's crazy, that's a liar, I'm not gonna turn it up.
That's crazy, that's fire.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Look so in this in the game that you have right all
is going to be Casabella andyou, and like you might be too
bad Because it's just like that.
It's like we don't have nobodyto look to.
But you, yeah, well, you haveto.
You might not, yeah.

(21:25):
So, like, here's what you seeas successful in here.
I'm guessing this is successfulhere.
Why don't you just write outsuccessful and why?
You know I'm gonna do that.
So we all wanna do it, we wannado it, we wanna do it, we wanna
do it, we wanna do it, we wannado it.
So, like I'm saying, I mean, Idon't want to start a success,
but you know, like give mewhat's successful like for you?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Success is this right here.
Look, I just wanted to be withD&G and Soul and God and Plus,
you know, for me because I havekids, yeah.
So I was like I'm doing it, youknow, and I was doing it with
the music, but then I realized,like I told Lee, that's my
manager.
I told Lee, I said Lee, wedoing the music and they love

(22:10):
you.
They don't know why you'rethere, they're just dancing.
So I said, yeah, I need tostream the talk work because I
was doing the YouTube video andI probably switched my career
path in a moment or two.
Like.
So I did a music stop, then Iwent back to YouTube, then I
went to streaming, but werecently just stopped streaming
the last month and we, like yo,we want to get our moves, we
want to get the bad feeling, wewant to get good thoughts and I

(22:33):
feel like I'm a part of saying,oh, the one to the B, the
YouTuber, say this stuff I dogot to take out.
Like I said, I do gotta be uphere and do that.
So that's just the goal andjust to do it for Philly,
because I hope people who changethey don't wanna let me out of
my network, right, if someoneknew you didn't even wanna turn

(22:55):
it up.
That's not.
Even we were people.
We would just go for that,honestly, everybody in Philly
and Louisville and turn it upand we're gonna just see it as a
real.
As I'm gonna go on a mission,I'm gonna go to Ben Philly and I
believe in Philly and thatdoing all the work that they
provide.
Now I am most of the village.
I mean Ben Philly is not whereI'm at, but I'm being there now.

(23:15):
Feel good, man.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, it's so normal in Philadelphia, right To crash
out.
Or to be on the drill list orto be on.
You know what I'm saying?
Like we can all hang that out,but it's a different type of
it's a different type of.
It's going to take a differenttype of energy and patience and

(23:58):
a different type of mindset.
I, you're mad at us, it ain't?
no, I ain't gonna lie, but no,like seriously though.
Like it take a different typeof like.

(24:24):
It ain't that hard, bro.
That's a highlight.
You feel me?
Yes, all of them who like knowthat, like like me, me father,
my son.
You know you love them fromhigh school and then to school
and then like, knowing that theyjust have a different path and
they come from the it's my dog.

(24:45):
Yes, on this.
How people leave you, leave youas a I like your relationship.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
How people leave you like it's my dog, yes, so what?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
makes you and y'all like, like that, like I'm, I'm
not gonna choose this path andI'm going on here and and then
my peers, is more of seeing andrealizing damn, all right.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
I see the drug dealer with the cheese.
He died.
Next next boy die, next boylocked up.
Why am I trying to do that?
anybody that's trying to do thatand thinking they're gonna be
different.
You're not, and if you thinkyou are gonna be different, you
must not believe in God.
So we just got something thatwe just got something to lock
into um and going back to justbeing yourself, I know how to

(26:05):
say no, and I think a lot ofmaturing and just like being
yourself is knowing when to sayno, because it's a lot of
influence around us at all times.
Even with me having my own mind, it's always going to be
influenced, and I haven't evenmet the greatest you know
influence that's going to try to, you know, discour't even met
the greatest you know influencethat's going to try to, you know
, discourage me or influence meto do something that I don't

(26:27):
want to do.
So I'm still even fighting it.
But I know how to say no, likewhen I don't want to do
something, I say no.
So people didn't ask me.
I just say no like blunt no too, I'm like.
I'm like a really blunt person.
So you know, even if you're notdoing what your friends want

(26:47):
you to do, you still probablydon't know when to say no when
somebody asking you to dosomething.
You know, so I know how to sayno.
So if it's like yo, let's dothis, it's like damn, that's a
little dangerous.
No, like you know.
No, or even if I want to do it,damn, probably not I got, I got
a grind because I believe thisthe best years to do what y'all

(27:09):
want to do.
So if you starting right now,if you 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 20,
if you under the age of 30, youstill got time.
Like, if you really like yo,like I don't got no time.
I was thinking that when I waslike 16.
I was thinking that when I was15.
But I've been doing this forsix years.
A lot of people would be like,oh yeah, that's my first year,

(27:31):
like this is my second year.
Like, even though I was doingvideos, then stopping, taking
like six months breaks, likethat's you going through.
Like damn, I think I can't dothis.
That's you fighting throughthat.
And then you just got to getthrough that.
And the way you get throughthat is, um, for real, for real,
putting out the art that youdon't like because your taste
and like the music content.

(27:52):
Um, whatever you do podcast,whatever your taste in it.
Like, if you ever thought likethis is tough and then you
thought it wasn't tough, afterthat your taste, just your taste
just went up because you, justyou, learned something you ain't
know before.
You, just you just thought it.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
You just thought it was tough, so you gotta put it
out you just, you just thoughtit was tough.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
So most of the times the things y'all seeing, I don't
even see it as good.
So a lot of people hit me uplike yo, bro, uck city, or like
yo, that song.
It's like, bro, I got this inmy notes, or bro, I got this
idea, it's way better.
So people don't put it out, butI put it out anyway, I just
drop, I drop it anyway, I justdrop it.
Yeah, it's like an auto drop,but I don't even look at numbers
, just drop it, it drops yeahunless.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
I genuinely hate it.

Speaker 5 (28:33):

Lay over it.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
No, it's still sturdy .
Oh, we ready to do this.
Thank you.

(41:39):
If you got any questions youwant to ask me about content,
anything.
We just leaving those questions.
How you get past that, I feellike if you doubt in yourself,
then you hiding from something.
So you need to find out whatthat is.
Whether it's the people aroundyou Because, like I told you, I
was hiding from, like my familyseeing me recording, but by
myself I was a different personmaking the content and it wasn't
until I gained the traction andsaw people supporting me and
saw how hyped they was that Ibecame comfortable.

(42:00):
So you need to find out what'sreally stopping you, because if
you want to do it, that's inyour head.
That's when you're by yourself,right there.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
You feel me so at night that's.
That's when I'm like yo, I wantto be the best, and then, when
people get around, I'm just likeyes, who is?

Speaker 5 (42:16):
whatever, you don't want it.
You don't want that.
So somebody around you istaking that from you or are you
taking that from yourself?
But you got to figure that outand just do it.
And then you got to just dropand with it and and if you don't
know what the drop, you dropwhat you like to watch.
Yeah, you drop what you like towatch.
Yeah, that's that.
But then put the mic closer toyou.

(42:43):
Put the mic closer.
He said how do you paceyourself?
Yeah, how do you pace yourself?
Pace, pace pace.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Okay, so do you mean like, what pace should you be
dropping?
It's no right or wrong answer.

Speaker 5 (43:07):
If you can do 30 videos in 30 days, you should,
but that's not always healthyfor the quality of your content
or for your mental state.
But just know, if you can getquality out at an efficient pace
, you should, whether that'swith a team or by yourself.
However, you do it, becauseeven me I don't work with people
who don't understand my qualityof work down to just even you

(43:31):
see up city.
I took a break from streamingbecause I don't think nobody
could get it to the quality Iwanted it.
So, regardless of if I drop itonce a week because it's taking
me longer, quality is alwaysover.
So the pace is based on how,how fast you can work, and you
can work faster with a teambecause you can't do nothing by
yourself.
So so if you want a schedule,I'll say drop once a week.
And everybody should know, likeyo, at this time, on this day,

(43:54):
it's going to be a video on yourpage.
So once they enjoy one, they'recoming back.
And if you stop that, if youstop that consistency, you are
letting the people down, even ifit's one person or the five
people, you're letting them downwhen that day comes.
So when I say y'all, I'mstreaming at 8, and I post that
on my story and I don't stream.
That's why I'm like, damn, I'mgoing to take money that y'all
give me, I'm going to give itback.

(44:15):
I'm going to just give it back.
And that's the way my brainkeeps building, because it's
like I owe it to y'all.
Damn, I didn't keep my promise,the love, and start once a week
, once you get better, twicethree, and then I'll say at max,
four until you get a team,because it become a lot on you.
She said how you, how do you?

(44:40):
How?

Speaker 2 (44:40):
do I use my platform?

Speaker 5 (44:41):
for good things, okay .
So as far as like, just evennegative things on the internet
or negativity that's trying tocome to me, you know people
won't come to your live.
They won't come in yourcomments with the negativity and
you know people listen to whatyou say.
So if you say like, oh yeah, hesaid F me, f them like, you

(45:04):
turn it up.
That's, that's the negative.
So to flip that around and tonot ignore it, because I don't
ignore uh.
I don't ignore the negativity.
I feel like when you ignore it,you sit in there and it's
making it a thing, especiallybecause we from Philly, it's
like, oh, you duck in or becomea thing, like, oh, they act like
they can't see it.
No, I see it and I'm going toaddress it, but I'm not going to
do it negatively.

(45:24):
So my response to it every timeis y''all, I honestly don't
give a fuck.
You feel me?
And then to show them.
I don't care, I probably trollor something.
Troll in a harmless way.
If somebody take you there,there's always ways to do it
without spreading negativity.
But just honestly, let themknow I don't give a fuck and you

(45:45):
show them you don't give a fuckby your next video being your
best video.
So every time it's negativity.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
I turned it up with a good idea.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
What inspired me to what?

Speaker 5 (46:09):
What inspired you to dance, to dance.
Oh, so I actually went to aworkshop in.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
West Philly, if y'all know where that's at.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
My school was so small we didn't have a dance
program, so I had to go to WestPhiladelphia High to dance at
their program and I started offdoing hip-hop and I was like
super, super shitty.
So I kept going back because Iliked the girl that was in super
super shitty.
So I kept going back because Iliked the girl that was in the
program actually, and then Ijust kept dancing because
somebody battled me and I lostand I hate losing.

(46:37):
So I was practicing up and Ilied and I was like yo, we
should battle again.
And they thought I wasunprepared and I just battled
them, cooked them and I won like$100.
After that I didn't.
They thought I was unpreparedand I just battled them, cooked
them and I won like $100.
After that I stopped dancingand people try to hit you with
the oh yeah, you too old todance or you shouldn't be
dancing, or that's all you doing.
Just keep dancing for real.
But yeah, that's what inspiredme for real that hundred dollars

(46:59):
and that bad bitch.
Yes, sir, I'm gonna keep itreal with y'all, but I just kept
it going, though I'm real niceif I wasn't streaming.
I'm not gonna lie, I think I'mdoing multiple things.

(47:20):
Like people see me, they belike yo, he a streamer.
But if it wasn't streaming toYouTube if not those two, it
probably be the music.
If it wasn't those three, itprobably be dancing.
If it wasn, it'd probably bethe music.
If it wasn't those three, it'dprobably be dancing.
If it wasn't dancing, it'dprobably be editing, bro, like
I'm a really good editor.
Like I was getting paidhundreds of dollars to edit
before I was editing my videos.
If it wasn't that, it'd be it.
But I know how to engineer,like just taking little classes

(47:42):
and skills, like, bro, I'm aboutto learn Spanish, like I just
be doing stuff, I do side quests.
We need more questions.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
y'all Really take this in.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
We need more questions y'all.
When the next, oh you gonnaanswer?
You know, the next dance wars.
I'm probably gonna do it duringRide 2, but you feel me, Ride 2
, we gonna do it.
I'm doing a to do it duringRide Tuber, you feel me Ride
Tuber.
We're going to do it, I'm doinga seven day stream Ride Tuber
non stop.
I'm going to do it in Phillyand I'm going to do Dance Wars
in person.
So pull up, it's going to befree.
Everything is going to be freeum I'm just making sure I can

(48:53):
hear.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
I know your question Um, I was streaming your main
focus when you went into a dropin your video or like.
Did it like happen like that?

Speaker 5 (49:02):
Okay, Um, for real, for real people don't know when
this I was telling my streamthis when you get to a certain
level of doing something, it'stime to switch it up, because
nobody gives a fuck anymore.
So, to be honest with you likeso it was a time where I was
doing skits and I just felt likeI didn't care anymore.
And it's not that I didn't likedoing skits or that I couldn't
keep doing skits because I'mgoing to go back and spend back

(49:24):
on it.
You can always spend back, butshow people that you can always
spin back, but show people thatyou could do more.
So you're not in a box.
So once, once I was doing skits, I said, uh, I'm tired of it.
I kind of get bored.
I'm just like a kid that justdo stuff, bro.
So I got bored.
I'm like, yeah, I got boredwith youtube.
I said, uh, I'm gonna get boredwith streaming.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
I got bored with music.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
I'm just like no I'm done dancing, like you know, for
now.
You know, and I like to saylike, oh, I did that.
So the way I look at it is like, hey, I hit this level.
It's time to prestige your playCall of Duty.
You prestige your gun, is thatlevel one?
But you still did that work.
So, after the dance stuff,prestige.
After the YouTube, prestige.
Now I'm at the streamer, I'mgoing to prestige and I'm gonna

(50:01):
go to something else.
Bro, I don't want to be in onebox.
So my main focus is whatever I'mdoing until it's time to
proceed.
Yeah, yeah yeah uh-huh.

(50:41):
So um something I learned I'mgonna give you some games,
something I learned.
I'm going to give you somegames, something I learned when
trying to work with somebodybigger.
Me and Leek do this, so it'slike three steps.
So the first time you firstmeet them, you introduce
yourself, and that introduction,even if it don't stick with

(51:02):
them for the next year, they'regoing to remember it Because
when you blow up, they're goingoh then don't, I know, bro, so
that's your introduction.
So after you do yourintroduction, the second time,
show your value.
So the next time you're hittingup somebody with a bigger
influence, you shouldn't behitting them up unless you have
some value for them, becausepeople don't.
They're not going to doanything unless you have
something to offer to them.
And that's just the way theworld works.

(51:23):
And you also got to realizethat and this is a problem I had
in year one.
I was like yo, if I just getthis one collab or if I just get
that text back, it's going tochange your life.
It's not.
Even if they give you the videoor even if they give you the
song, it's not.
After that, then, what you gotto learn how to make the motion
by yourself.
And that's the biggest thing Igot.
I can sit in my room and makethe same money I make when I

(51:46):
come outside.
It's the same thing.
I don't need nobody, I don'tneed a special guest, I don't
need a rapper, I don't neednobody.
So find out how to make thatmotion so you can show your
value.
So after that second step, thethird time is coming to them
with a proposal.
That's how business works too.
You come with them with a deck.
You come with information likeyo, this is how I can add value,
and they're gonna see it.
What's better?

(52:06):
Uh, yo, what's up, let's workfor it.
Yo right, I got this good idea.
We should do this video.
Everything already paid for it,ain't this?
I will help you.
The third time you need to comewith a proposal.
So, introduction, show yourvalue, proposal.
Right after that, that firsttime, y'all work.
They're gonna say damn, he'sgenuine, I'm genuine, it's
locked in like that, no question, smart.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Let's get it.
He's got a question for him, nohim.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
He wanted us to tell us.

Speaker 5 (53:03):
He wanted us to say what we don't like about his
brand.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
What we like and what we don't like he's been doing
it for a year.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Honestly.
I'm not gonna lie y'all.
