Speaker 5 (01:38):
Is this all crazy?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Because I know the song with the helly it was
kind of like just a song you had y'all playing
around in the studio and then it's so, I mean,
all your songs are big, but like it had such
impact and kind of was like this song you put
out there.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I ain't gonna lie. I know the song was gonna
be good, Like we knew as soon as we made it.
We made it on the streak like two minutes away
in New York for real. It was on to a
man Skiller. It was Skiller session and wind up going
up and was making some songs with him, but he
had got tired. I'm like, stay he wound up believing.
So I wound up doing like three songs and they
wound up being with the hell.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Why'd you end up shotting at all the random people
at the end of the song.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I wasn't random with bullshit like we was bush and laughing,
like just saying anything, coming out with your own with
the helly like how people were doing. Now. I was
just coming up with my own, like what the hell
of Jean like all that type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know why when I hear that song, I
think a juvenile.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
That's something Julie would have did back in the day,
you know, take a take a phrase.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Everybody saying.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was, I was thinking about that, and I was.
I was kind of comparing it to it. But I'm
thinking about it, bro, I can't compare that to hunh
he was wrapping his ass. No, no, yeah, playing on that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, I ain't comparing. I'm just saying that the style
of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Not for sure? Did you expect it to be that big,
that fast? I ain't gonna lie, brother, I really did.
I can't. I swear to guy. My partners already knew
he dropped it on.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I remember right before that weekend, but that weekend DJs
was already playing with it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It was going crazy. You know, it's funny. It was
me six months before. I think I took so long
to drop it. I stopped believing in it a little
like I was dropping. I dropped like two singles and
I'm like, man, were playing, we ain't drop what the hell,
let's just do it? And we just did it, and
it it was what we thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Like now you got a nine figure buffalo while wings deal.
See what I'm talking about six counting your money? You
did have to count your money, right, let me fly out?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
What did you have to let go of personally in
order to let yourself fly on this album?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Just think, like I said, like thinking about myself, like man,
it's stop believing this song and stuff like not believing
in myself. And I was just like forget it, Like, man,
whatever happens happens. You're a busy if you do your
bus if you don't like you know.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So you was at the point where didn't believe in yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I didn't believe in myself. You know, when you keep
coming with him, it's like, man, can I come with
another one? Like you gotta be real with yourself like
some at some point. So that's what it was. On
that's what I was on now.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I wanted to go back to you. He told me,
what the helly before that? You did a bunch of
remixes on that. Yeah, so the people call you for
the remix, you reached out to them because you went
all left right.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You did the b boy, I reached out the one
person who was that and that was heard. But Herd
had his remix done three months before with the Helly
drop Like he heard the song and toises with me.
I'm like, man, listen to this song. He's like, man,
I said, that's the song I was telling you about.
He wound up doing it like the next week. I
didn't even I really need to tell him about it,
remind him. He just did it and Justin just sent it.
(04:37):
I called Justin one day like, man, you might well
get on the remix. He sent it to me. Call
you and just be hanging out. We be talking to
sh but he called me. He just while I was
on the phone. He's like, man, taking message. I had
already did it and a lot of us and her
ship I ain't. I ain't like everybody just did it
on the offer.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So the DM with Justin Bieber, I was like promo
like he had already done.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
N that was like that's what I'm saying, that's why
to him, like you might well do it. Everything is real,
like I put I'll be putting it in real time.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Like that's fire. Justin Bieber had DMed him like okay,
I didn't know if y'a knew that, but I didn't.
Just he just had m him like a line from
the song, and I thought it was just like promo
for the remix that he was going to do.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
But that's it was just yeah, it.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Was what was it a song on let Me Fly
that scared you to record because it felt too honest?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Hit Me and mom Me mom? I knew me Mama.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I recorded hit Me Mama and toime squad.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Finn Wow, what was that record meaning to you?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't know, man, at the moment, I really recorded
it like laying in the bed like and then I
had I wanted to finish it in like three months later, like,
but I was scared to finish it because I didn't
want to get that deep like.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You feel me what you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Talk like I was saying some stuff or nothing like
that I wouldn't normally say, like all live so is.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It because you were too vulnerable in your opinion, like.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Something, I don't even want to come to that. I
don't even want to come to the realization like I
said something like, Mam, I lost my mind, Like I
feel like I lost my mind, but I never say
it out loud. You feel what I'm saying because you
don't want to come to that realization, like like stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I ain't gonna front. That's probably my favorite version of
Rob for nine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You think I appreciate you, you know, me doing the
same thing. Who mek, It just takes me the same thing, Like, man,
I didn't know you was coming Like this.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Make you want to recall more records like that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Just to That's how I came rapping though. When I
started rapping, I was like I was in a deep depression,
like and I start rapping like that, rapping about what
I was going through, and they didn't want to hear that,
so I just start you know what I be on you.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Know, you know, let Me Fly. The title sounds like
a like like a cry for freedom.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's how I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Okay, That's how I feel. Like, Like I said, we
coming with back to back to back to back, even
when you think you're not gonna come to that, even
coming to another one, but they still play you like
you ain't like one of them. Like if I'm I'm saying,
I feel like man as I wur turn like, it's
the young it's the young people turn like like let
us fly, not just me.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
You you said you used to think rappers were lying, right,
but now the true rapper.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You know they're lying.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I got I got a little more respect for him.
I got a little more respect for the rappers that
came up before me.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But do you still feel that way about some of
them be lying?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
I don't know what was one of the most surprising
truths that you found out about the industry since you've
been in it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Not even the surprising thing, but like the people that
I listened to, that was one that they wound up
being the ones who was really, like you feel what
I'm saying, ritter than one. So yeah, that's one. That's
one of the truths I loved about it.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And have you spoke the skill of Baby recently?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
How he doing? I texted him now that day. You
know he's probably going through some more stuff. You know
what I'm saying, just let him have his moment not
to get his mentor right. It was soon on baby Boy.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yeah, The Killer Baby Yeah, And you said, you know
this album is feel like freedom. So what made you
feel like I guess cage the most. Was it your
your life or your career?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Now? Really like really like I really got out of this,
But I was just searching for validation from like from
like people who we looked up to coming up, like
you feel what I'm saying. And I came to the
realization like I don't care, like we're gonna be the
new ones and we're gonna we just gonna handle it
how we supposed to handle it, right, And that's how
(08:30):
I feel about it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Who's you seeking validation.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
From like this? I'm just saying, like like bigger artists,
like you know, like not even validation far as like
you know, like when all the younger people was coming
up before us, like how they made superstars, Like I
feel like I feel like like we ain't we ain't
really got like that right now, we ain't really got that.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
It's the same in a bunch of different industries. So
I'm a stand up comedian to stand up the greats
before me. I at one point, wanted to live up
to what I thought they expected or what the standard was.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Of exactly right.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
But we knew school, so we do ship differently. We
got famous differently, you know what I mean. We have
we shot like up. Our platform grew with the help
of the Internet, which a lot of them didn't have.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So you know, it's it's like that in all arenas,
all industries.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What got you over that though?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Where you didn't feel like you had to I had
a validation or did you get the validation you need it?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I just I don't know, bro, I just woke up
one day it was like I want to step on
everybody at the neck. And I dropped with the hell
that next week and then we just start stepping on that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And then what you saw more more rap niggas acting
like you the little Wayne exactly. That did something for
you too.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
They was doing that.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
That's when you know, I guess it's your generation. That's
a line that he has on the requid.
Speaker 2 (09:50):

My mom, my mom been getting my rested right.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
I was going to ask you how because you and
your mom have really like your relationship online and like
the videos you post, how does your mom feel about
like when you drop songs like hear me Mama, and
like you're more vulnerable because you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):

asking me that she here you can asks you too.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
You know you rap about the survival and trauma and loyalty,
the success make you soft?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Are you just learning to be more vulnerable?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I really was an outgoing person because I always liked
helping people, like, but now I'm on some shit like, man,
everybody don't deserve my kindness, so I'm really at the
state of my life, Like, man, I really got to
back up from everybody, like honestly and not letting nobody
take your joy, just be quiet, like and you save
your joy for people who don't deserve it. So that's
(12:20):
what I'm on for, Like right now.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I used to be kind You feel like the city
is caught up with you yet New Orleans like what
just in general because you blew up, You blew up
you know pretty quickly. Right, you feel like they've caught
up yet, like we have real love for you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
They got is the biggest in New Orleans before I
made a song, before I made it big, like a
hot song. I just sold out the arena, like how
jay Z said out arena. I sold out of arena
in New Orleans by myself. Fifteen dollars people did the
hot I was there not before.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
That, even there feeling it and being in New Orleans
and seeing I was like.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh wow, that was that was cool.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's just like I wouldn't say that was like because
they got their own fan base, so they wasn't really
a turn for me, and it was funny to me.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I felt like that. But maybe because I'm not from there,
I felt like it was.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But you gotta come in one of my shows. You
would be like, no way he got this like like this,
I got videos I showed you like this is I
just felt like the hot boys they like like they
got their own stuff on. You know what I'm saying,

So I just had to like back up for real,
because I know this already. I know when you're doing good.
It's on that matter of time.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
But that's what I mean, right, Like sometimes your city
knows you a big deal, but they don't see your elevation,
like the same Rob point nine from ten years ago,
like you ain't a little more.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
They definitely see my elevation. Everybody see it. Like I
ain't gonna lie. I was elevated before I made it,
like I'm telling me, like my mails, my male was
coming to my shoes and stuff like like I was
already that like and like I went down, you know,
like y'all, I I was scared to do, y'all. I

being quiet when Skiller was here.

a little bit more than you, more than you.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
You're scared nothing, just like you know what's funny, bro,

on everybody else mind.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Honest though, you say I'm taking them drugs for the cold,
but I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I'm trying to stop.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, damn, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Forgot I'd be taking them though.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'd be taking them, but it's just when I be
feeling like it, Like like when I get on the plane,
I do it one time or something like that. But
I don't be doing like my nigga do it a
little Dirk. Dirk brother called me one on my sleep
and it was like stop, I had a bad dream
and I just stopped taking you. Feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
We said you had a dream dream.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I don't know he had a bad dream. You told
me what happened, but yeah, he told me, and I
just stopped taking him like for like two or three months,
Like cold.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Turkey man, what's your relationship with Dirk?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I don't really be talking to Dirt like do it
to my do my nigga bands, my nigga like his nigga,
my nigga, Like what I fuck with Dirt? Though I
talked to him right before he went to jail. I
just be letting niggas how they had they mond want
of them niggas like invade somebody polercy.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Like, yeah, I like what you said about you know,
but not wanting to speak that type of sh into existence.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But I'm honest.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
You said you don't see yourself growing old.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Oh I said probably okay, but probably not.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But you're planning to you don't want to move.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You said you want to have kids, but I don't know,
like if my health, Like I don't know like you
feel I'm saying, that's for God to say, but I've
been living. I don't know. You feel me, I said,
probably not, Like that's just how we feel.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Me Sometimes you feel like that things are so good
right now or just you just don't know, just things
going good.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
But I just seen like my whole family going, I've
seen things turn.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
So probably not your health, like just like everything, like
I don't I'm so used to, like, bro, I'm gonna
just keep it a hunted like you know when you
when you brought my whole family go, I didn't watch
my whole family die like, so this is what I'm
just used to mentally, even though it might be some.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Fun up ship to say, like, but that's just that's
just how I think. Like like even when I go
to club, I think about death all dayly because so
many people then died like in front of me. Like
you feel what I'm saying. So that's just what I
be thinking about.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
But the same way you the children for a city,
you the chosen for your family because you could be
the generational curse break for sure, I think I am, and.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Then what about any type of therapy you never thought
about sitting down talking to somebody professionally about.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You told me through that ship.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Oh worry if your girl is telling you to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't feel like there's too much. I can't talk
to your people about what I'd be talking about, man,
what I'd be thinking in my head.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's the whole point. If you find the right person.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't trust nobody like that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
If your girl wants you to go, you should go.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
You trust her, you think so, yes, because that means
she sees something that you probably don't even see.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Probably she probably see a lot.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Of the unhealed trauma that you're trying to you know,
bury put away or rap about.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
And she probably see the family you carry a lot.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
I'm sure she sees that she's in the health profession,
right or you were going to be I was. You
say it's called blousing, is how you said? Blessing, blessing
un blessing. You talk about like your uncle being locked
up and taking care of everybody. So I'm sure she's
watching all of that too, Because then you talk about
the pill was a game?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, definitely. I gotta listen to him. She's smart too,
so he's saying this I might do for real. I
was just if I have my phone in here with Yeah,
I was called the lady to call the lady who
call this girl there. I was going to tell her
(23:23):
set it up, is what I'm saying. Said like play
all the man? He did not right, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Bro, I saw you a million dollars worth a game
with Gillian Wallow. Yeah you said you pulled up on.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Young Look at that. We're gonna man, You see what
I'm saying, though, trouble for that one? I didn't, but
I looked him like bad move. I ain't get in
trouble or nothing like. They didn't call me about it
or nothing like. But my in my in my my
(24:02):
carriage time like bad move for me? Make it disappear.
But for real, man, I'm like, make this ship dipped
for real?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
How do you think let me fly builds on your
your legacy? Did you try? Did you try to burn
some of the old version of you there?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Man, I'm just trying to rap for real. I want
them to knock around.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Long story shot, it's wild body about fact people.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's about a wild body.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's number nine.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Play.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I didn't know you playing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Funny as hell.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
You You you talked about on the Poor mind Spot
Poor Minds podcast that you don't want to be a
old dad for I.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Want to care right now?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh you mean you don't want to have a baby
when you're too old?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
You know what? I want to care right now? I want.
I want to walk in and my child gotta fight
because his mama fine, like you feel me? They be like, man,
your mama fine, like because she's young, Like, so you
gotta fight, you gotta fight.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, for his case, he still want to be the
young dad.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You feel.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know. So what stopped me?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Not even God? I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yeah, if God said the same boy or girl, girl.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Dad a healthy kid, I swear the guy that's crazy.
I ain't used to think like that.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You never wanted to kid.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I'm just saying, used to think like healthy kid. Like,
but I see like that ship real like healthy kid.
That's it. I just want a healthy kid.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Make you want a child?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Now?
Speaker 7 (26:00):
You know you always hear women say y'all want a kid,
don't want to kill? What make you feel like you
want one right now?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Just because I didn't? That was so much lost in
my life. I want to build my family back up.
That's dope. My whole family gone for real. Like my
mama had four brothers, two sisters. Five brothers, two sisters,
all of them dead, one of them alive, my uncle
and here in jail, we all stay in the same house.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
So for that reason that you just said, that's why
you have to break the generational curse. You know you
still got You're still aware, very aware of what happened
to your family. You don't want this to happen to you.
You got to get out of that mindset. You got
to change your mindset because you you're about to. You
want to build a family, you know what I'm saying,
And you want to have your own family because most
of yours is gone, so you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Can do that.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'll be thinking about moving back to New Orleans for
that reason too, bro, just because I want just like
get a big house, like I called bard man, like man,
send me you a house so my whole family can
move in it. But I just know it's a bad move.
But as bad as I just want my family so
bad to go back.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
To it's a bad move to go back to bad.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's a bad move. Like yeah, it's a bad move,
but a family, you feel me. I just asked my
little sister, like, you want me to come home? Like like,
hell no, I'll move them to where you are.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Get that's the goal. The goal is to get the
money that I know, but.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
They don't want to I got the money. They don't
want to come.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
They're comfortable where they are.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
But they want you to stay away too.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You feel me?
Speaker 7 (27:32):
And if your sister, if your family telling you, your
family telling you to stay away, you gotta listen. That's
the answer to talking to Do you ever expressing them
the way you're expressing it us now?
Speaker 3 (27:40):

Speaker 3 (32:08):
You want to be intimate, you canna have like a
real connection.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You feel me something like that.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
What's the song you know that you've written, or even
just a song a bar on this new album that
you wrote when you were hurt, but when you perform
it now you feel you feel healed?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
None of it, bro, I don't think I heard for
none of it. I'm ready to perform it just so
I could just feel it in my soul. You feel
what I'm saying. I won't perform it without without noble
lyrics on it. However, I want you feel me, yeah,
something like that, so.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You might perform it and the feeling in that moment like.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh shit, yeah, like damn, Like I'm saying this like
and I'm saying how I want. I don't know live
music a little better than regularly is to me. I
don't listen to regularly. I list live music like The
Scissor Live, the Lauren Hill Live, and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
You think you could ever do? Hit me, mam alive.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I can't wait to do it. I was I was calling.
I was calling my my label to let me do
it live, like in the garden, in the garden with
a band like something like that. That should be crazy.
Why would like a garden? Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I thought you.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That's too much. Yet you never know, they probably let
me not hell not right now.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
You can feel the theater.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Not right now.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, you can do the theater.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I'm saying. They ain't gonna let me do nothing in
the garden right now with the paces they want their money.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
Do you want to be remembered as as a great rapper,
a street legend, or somebody who made it out and gave.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
The blueprint blueprint? Uh? You know, it's funny Like I
used to be. I used to look at the I
looked at the I think that was an l A
Wilson And if you way, before I even made anything,
I was on my way to school looking at it.
And then Nigga was like, man, got to teach what's taught.
And that's how I lived, Like That's how I lived
my life, Like I feel like that was the relationship.
(34:07):
He ever said, like, m hm, real.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Now, one time you said you're not a rapper, you
a hustler? Did that change now? But you're rapping now?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Rapping is hustling. Why, That's why I'm here right now,
and I ain't getting no sleep yet. Shit a hustle
feeling real.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
People talk a lot about like your business acting man
like you understanding the business and doing your own business.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Where does that come from? Is that Mama four nine
or me?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I just I know how to get some money. I
was a hustling in high school. I was selling weave
before my mama knew. So I always had the mentality
to get some money for myself. So I'll just be
structuring it, right, that's it. I'm a little thinker, so
that's probably it.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
What's the biggest misconception about Ralph or.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Now I'm a TikTok rapper, be playing with that.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I don't think songs are so big.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
That's what I'm saying. But that's not my faults, y'all.
That's just where you heard me at.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
What the hell is number one on the TikTok music
charts But even before they get to the charts and
all that, like, I'll be on your songs take over TikTok.
Speaker 9 (35:12):
That's y'all fault.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
That's your fault. You're making it.
Speaker 8 (35:18):
And then GQ named you the most raps most viral
hit maker.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Not for sure, I think that makes sense. Yes, even
though that's crazy to me because I don't feel like
I'm near it is where I want to be in life,
like this is like two percent, like three percent. I
want to get to the hundred. But it's like, man,
I'm low key tired of this ship mixing mingles and
bad images out here, Like I don't want none of that.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Man, you don't got to do it.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
So if you could, you could be the best thing
he ever told me. I'll be saying, notice, you got
to do it.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
You know what's funny. You know I came here. I
thought I was just doing ya the like, Man, you
gotta man listen, I don't want none of that. Ship already,
feel like I'll be saying too much.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Like you feel me and don't be saying ship.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Even like I feel like that's too much like.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Man speaking parables.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I feel like that's just I don't know, Bron, I
feel like I'm saying too much.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
So if you could, you would be like a Kendrick.
You know, he pop out every so often and he
go back in here. You never see him doing no interviews,
just the most we've ever seen him, you know, after
you know that that beef with Kendrick, I mean Drake, Yeah,
he the super Bowl. I felt like he was only
seeing him do interviews and stuff like that because of
the super Bowl and the new album and everything.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
But he's still only talking to his music. That's it,
like one Apple music or something.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, yeah, one music interview.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
That's my dream. Careers Like you put great artists, you
got millions of fans, You can sell out arena where
you want to. You make good music to what everybody's
just going to listen to when you drop it, and
you ain't got to be in no mix. Like when
you go to the arena, you go back and it's
two of y'all. It could be two of your friend
the arena while you go performing from all these people,
(37:03):
like that's my dream career.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's what success is to you.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Just calm, chill, like sometimes I won't get rashy.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Like but not all the time now because you have
to you.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Fee what I'm saying, because I have to exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
You're not too far from that though from that life.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
If you think I definitely am bro and think about
you because I have to get ratchet because they know
Ralphil is like bro, that dude gonna bring the vibes like,
but you could.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Do both and that's actually what a great artist is,
like if I can listen to a song like hear
me Mama, honest, I feel like Meeka.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Is a good person.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Talked about that too, because his songs that was like
for the hood and like hype and people considered ratchet.
It turned into energy music and football teams grabbed it,
you know what I mean, Like he made that transition
so well and that's where I see your stuff.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
So just the crazy part is though you got people
you can talk to about that, like you're not talking
with people one of the biggest in the world. I
can talk to you, it's superstars from New Orleans, like absolutely,
like he's a superstar, like internationally known superstars.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
And generations are living off of our songs.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I'm gonna tell you something. I'll be trying not to
do that because I'm so like mentally here want somebody
tell me one little bitty thing. I don't like. I
don't like you for life, so I try not to
even you feel what I'm saying. Put you in that
position and gave me no bad advice. Get me like
you feel me like I try not even do that,
brocause I just hold gruduus. That's it?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Like what you mean? Like, what do they tell you something?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Like if they tell me something, if I get a
little vibe and they be like OK, and then I
feel like you just tell me anything, like I'll never
call you again.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
But they could be doing it out of love, like
your man told you don't do this in the video
and you ain't not.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Even that like when they be like, yeah, young, just
keep hustling.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
I just actuallyence, I got you.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
What do you tell? What do you tell?
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Like?
Speaker 4 (39:02):
The younger artists coming up right now right came from
a funked up situation like yours. But maybe that what
what would you tell them?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Man, keep going, bro, I'm going to tell you I finished.
Don't look at keep going, don't look at none of
the negative comments that people posting about you. Look at
the positive ones. Don't don't listen to nobody saying, man,
look at all the positive out it every situation and
every situation as a gym. So that's what I mean
(39:30):
by I keep going because I let people in my
ear and and and made me feel like I couldn't
keep going, like I had to stop for I ain't
dropping two years like I ain't dropped since my mind.
That was two years ago. And then I drived with
the Heller and then it just went like I should
have been doing that, like because I had what the
heller when I had my momd like maybe it would
(39:50):
have been bigger like so ship like that. So like, yeah,
just keeping that. I know that, that's right exactly. That's
That's That's what I mean. Me drop what the hell
and ship too. I'm like, man, God, if God pick.
Speaker 7 (40:03):

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Big one, make you say, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
For sure?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Is this all crazy?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Because I know the song with the helly it was
kind of like just a song you had y'all playing
around in the studio and then it's so, I mean,
all your songs are big, but like it had such
impact and kind of was like this song you put
out there.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I ain't gonna lie. I know the song was gonna
be good, Like we knew as soon as we made it.
We made it on the streak like two minutes away
in New York for real. It was on to a
man Skiller. It was Skiller session and wind up going
up and was making some songs with him, but he
had got tired. I'm like, stay he wound up believing.
So I wound up doing like three songs and they
wound up being with the hell.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Why'd you end up shotting at all the random people
at the end of the song.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I wasn't random with bullshit like we was bush and laughing,
like just saying anything, coming out with your own with
the helly like how people were doing. Now. I was
just coming up with my own, like what the hell
of Jean like all that type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know why when I hear that song, I
think a juvenile.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
That's something Julie would have did back in the day,
you know, take a take a phrase.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Everybody saying.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was, I was thinking about that, and I was.
I was kind of comparing it to it. But I'm
thinking about it, bro, I can't compare that to hunh
he was wrapping his ass. No, no, yeah, playing on that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, I ain't comparing. I'm just saying that the style
of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Not for sure? Did you expect it to be that big,
that fast? I ain't gonna lie, brother, I really did.
I can't. I swear to guy. My partners already knew
he dropped it on.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I remember right before that weekend, but that weekend DJs
was already playing with it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It was going crazy. You know, it's funny. It was
me six months before. I think I took so long
to drop it. I stopped believing in it a little
like I was dropping. I dropped like two singles and
I'm like, man, were playing, we ain't drop what the hell,
let's just do it? And we just did it, and
it it was what we thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Like now you got a nine figure buffalo while wings deal.
See what I'm talking about six counting your money? You
did have to count your money, right, let me fly out?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
What did you have to let go of personally in
order to let yourself fly on this album?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Just think, like I said, like thinking about myself, like man,
it's stop believing this song and stuff like not believing
in myself. And I was just like forget it, Like, man,
whatever happens happens. You're a busy if you do your
bus if you don't like you know.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So you was at the point where didn't believe in yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I didn't believe in myself. You know, when you keep
coming with him, it's like, man, can I come with
another one? Like you gotta be real with yourself like
some at some point. So that's what it was. On
that's what I was on now.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I wanted to go back to you. He told me,
what the helly before that? You did a bunch of
remixes on that. Yeah, so the people call you for
the remix, you reached out to them because you went
all left right.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You did the b boy, I reached out the one
person who was that and that was heard. But Herd
had his remix done three months before with the Helly
drop Like he heard the song and toises with me.
I'm like, man, listen to this song. He's like, man,
I said, that's the song I was telling you about.
He wound up doing it like the next week. I
didn't even I really need to tell him about it,
remind him. He just did it and Justin just sent it.
(04:37):
I called Justin one day like, man, you might well
get on the remix. He sent it to me. Call
you and just be hanging out. We be talking to
sh but he called me. He just while I was
on the phone. He's like, man, taking message. I had
already did it and a lot of us and her
ship I ain't. I ain't like everybody just did it
on the offer.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
So the DM with Justin Bieber, I was like promo
like he had already done.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
N that was like that's what I'm saying, that's why
to him, like you might well do it. Everything is real,
like I put I'll be putting it in real time.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Like that's fire. Justin Bieber had DMed him like okay,
I didn't know if y'a knew that, but I didn't.
Just he just had m him like a line from
the song, and I thought it was just like promo
for the remix that he was going to do.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
But that's it was just yeah, it.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Was what was it a song on let Me Fly
that scared you to record because it felt too honest?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Hit Me and mom Me mom? I knew me Mama.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I recorded hit Me Mama and toime squad.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Finn Wow, what was that record meaning to you?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't know, man, at the moment, I really recorded
it like laying in the bed like and then I
had I wanted to finish it in like three months later, like,
but I was scared to finish it because I didn't
want to get that deep like.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You feel me what you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Talk like I was saying some stuff or nothing like
that I wouldn't normally say, like all live so is.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It because you were too vulnerable in your opinion, like.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Something, I don't even want to come to that. I
don't even want to come to the realization like I
said something like, Mam, I lost my mind, Like I
feel like I lost my mind, but I never say
it out loud. You feel what I'm saying because you
don't want to come to that realization, like like stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I ain't gonna front. That's probably my favorite version of
Rob for nine.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You think I appreciate you, you know, me doing the
same thing. Who mek, It just takes me the same thing, Like, man,
I didn't know you was coming Like this.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Make you want to recall more records like that.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Just to That's how I came rapping though. When I
started rapping, I was like I was in a deep depression,
like and I start rapping like that, rapping about what
I was going through, and they didn't want to hear that,
so I just start you know what I be on you.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Know, you know, let Me Fly. The title sounds like
a like like a cry for freedom.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's how I feel about it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Okay, That's how I feel. Like, Like I said, we
coming with back to back to back to back, even
when you think you're not gonna come to that, even
coming to another one, but they still play you like
you ain't like one of them. Like if I'm I'm saying,
I feel like man as I wur turn like, it's
the young it's the young people turn like like let
us fly, not just me.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
You you said you used to think rappers were lying, right,
but now the true rapper.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You know they're lying.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I got I got a little more respect for him.
I got a little more respect for the rappers that
came up before me.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But do you still feel that way about some of
them be lying?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
I don't know what was one of the most surprising
truths that you found out about the industry since you've
been in it.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Not even the surprising thing, but like the people that
I listened to, that was one that they wound up
being the ones who was really, like you feel what
I'm saying, ritter than one. So yeah, that's one. That's
one of the truths I loved about it.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And have you spoke the skill of Baby recently?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
How he doing? I texted him now that day. You
know he's probably going through some more stuff. You know
what I'm saying, just let him have his moment not
to get his mentor right. It was soon on baby Boy.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yeah, The Killer Baby Yeah, And you said, you know
this album is feel like freedom. So what made you
feel like I guess cage the most. Was it your
your life or your career?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Now? Really like really like I really got out of this,
But I was just searching for validation from like from
like people who we looked up to coming up, like
you feel what I'm saying. And I came to the
realization like I don't care, like we're gonna be the
new ones and we're gonna we just gonna handle it
how we supposed to handle it, right, And that's how
(08:30):
I feel about it.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Who's you seeking validation.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
From like this? I'm just saying, like like bigger artists,
like you know, like not even validation far as like
you know, like when all the younger people was coming
up before us, like how they made superstars, Like I
feel like I feel like like we ain't we ain't
really got like that right now, we ain't really got that.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
It's the same in a bunch of different industries. So
I'm a stand up comedian to stand up the greats
before me. I at one point, wanted to live up
to what I thought they expected or what the standard was.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Of exactly right.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
But we knew school, so we do ship differently. We
got famous differently, you know what I mean. We have
we shot like up. Our platform grew with the help
of the Internet, which a lot of them didn't have.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So you know, it's it's like that in all arenas,
all industries.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
What got you over that though?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Where you didn't feel like you had to I had
a validation or did you get the validation you need it?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I just I don't know, bro, I just woke up
one day it was like I want to step on
everybody at the neck. And I dropped with the hell
that next week and then we just start stepping on that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
And then what you saw more more rap niggas acting
like you the little Wayne exactly. That did something for
you too.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
They was doing that.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
That's when you know, I guess it's your generation. That's
a line that he has on the requid.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Picture for sure. Now they've been doing that.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You really bought fifteen year whips in a year?

of houses.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
My mom, my mom been getting my rested right.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
I was going to ask you how because you and
your mom have really like your relationship online and like
the videos you post, how does your mom feel about
like when you drop songs like hear me Mama, and
like you're more vulnerable because you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):

like how you She'd be asking me something, how you
put that in the on the beat? Like how you
really made our real life on a beat? She'd be
asking me that she here you can asks you too.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
You know you rap about the survival and trauma and loyalty,
the success make you soft?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Are you just learning to be more vulnerable?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I really was an outgoing person because I always liked
helping people, like, but now I'm on some shit like, man,
everybody don't deserve my kindness, so I'm really at the
state of my life, Like, man, I really got to
back up from everybody, like honestly and not letting nobody
take your joy, just be quiet, like and you save
your joy for people who don't deserve it. So that's
(12:20):
what I'm on for, Like right now.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I used to be kind You feel like the city
is caught up with you yet New Orleans like what
just in general because you blew up, You blew up
you know pretty quickly. Right, you feel like they've caught
up yet, like we have real love for you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
They got is the biggest in New Orleans before I
made a song, before I made it big, like a
hot song. I just sold out the arena, like how
jay Z said out arena. I sold out of arena
in New Orleans by myself. Fifteen dollars people did the
hot I was there not before.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
That, even there feeling it and being in New Orleans
and seeing I was like.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh wow, that was that was cool.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's just like I wouldn't say that was like because
they got their own fan base, so they wasn't really
a turn for me, and it was funny to me.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I felt like that. But maybe because I'm not from there,
I felt like it was.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But you gotta come in one of my shows. You
would be like, no way he got this like like this,
I got videos I showed you like this is I
just felt like the hot boys they like like they
got their own stuff on. You know what I'm saying,
what your relationship with with I forelt with everybody in
New Orleans, Like I'm ready to one of New Orleans.

but I just feel like I'm gonna get in trouble.
So I just had to like back up for real,
because I know this already. I know when you're doing good.
It's on that matter of time.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
But that's what I mean, right, Like sometimes your city
knows you a big deal, but they don't see your elevation,
like the same Rob point nine from ten years ago,
like you ain't a little more.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
They definitely see my elevation. Everybody see it. Like I
ain't gonna lie. I was elevated before I made it,
like I'm telling me, like my mails, my male was
coming to my shoes and stuff like like I was
already that like and like I went down, you know,
like y'all, I I was scared to do, y'all. I
(14:32):
was scared to do, y'all. A boy myself, I was
being quiet when Skiller was here.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Life for real, And it's skill of like to talk
a little bit more than you, more than you.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
You're scared nothing, just like you know what's funny, bro,

to know me, like nobody when they recently had a
good ass time. Now I went to London and had

the same time. I was staying with my cousin.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
She could how were you.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Be like twelve thirteen something like that, and even pills
Like I used to always tell my friends, like, man,
get off them pills. Bro. I wound up getting shot
and I took a pill. I'm like, man, I just
wounded up, but my mind is so strong. I wound
up getting off him, but I could take him and
whenever I want to, like you know what I'm saying,
because I don't know. My mind just a little strong
(19:34):
on everybody else mind.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Honest though, you say I'm taking them drugs for the cold,
but I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I'm trying to stop.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, damn, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Forgot I'd be taking them though.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'd be taking them, but it's just when I be
feeling like it, Like like when I get on the plane,
I do it one time or something like that. But
I don't be doing like my nigga do it a
little Dirk. Dirk brother called me one on my sleep
and it was like stop, I had a bad dream
and I just stopped taking you. Feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
We said you had a dream dream.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I don't know he had a bad dream. You told
me what happened, but yeah, he told me, and I
just stopped taking him like for like two or three months,
Like cold.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Turkey man, what's your relationship with Dirk?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I don't really be talking to Dirt like do it
to my do my nigga bands, my nigga like his nigga,
my nigga, Like what I fuck with Dirt? Though I
talked to him right before he went to jail. I
just be letting niggas how they had they mond want
of them niggas like invade somebody polercy.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Like, yeah, I like what you said about you know,
but not wanting to speak that type of sh into existence.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But I'm honest.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
You said you don't see yourself growing old.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Oh I said probably okay, but probably not.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
But you're planning to you don't want to move.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You said you want to have kids, but I don't know,
like if my health, Like I don't know like you
feel I'm saying, that's for God to say, but I've
been living. I don't know. You feel me, I said,
probably not, Like that's just how we feel.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Me Sometimes you feel like that things are so good
right now or just you just don't know, just things
going good.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
But I just seen like my whole family going, I've
seen things turn.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
So probably not your health, like just like everything, like
I don't I'm so used to, like, bro, I'm gonna
just keep it a hunted like you know when you
when you brought my whole family go, I didn't watch
my whole family die like, so this is what I'm
just used to mentally, even though it might be some.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Fun up ship to say, like, but that's just that's
just how I think. Like like even when I go
to club, I think about death all dayly because so
many people then died like in front of me. Like
you feel what I'm saying. So that's just what I
be thinking about.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
But the same way you the children for a city,
you the chosen for your family because you could be
the generational curse break for sure, I think I am, and.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Then what about any type of therapy you never thought
about sitting down talking to somebody professionally about.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You told me through that ship.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Oh worry if your girl is telling you to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't feel like there's too much. I can't talk
to your people about what I'd be talking about, man,
what I'd be thinking in my head.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's the whole point. If you find the right person.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I don't trust nobody like that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
If your girl wants you to go, you should go.
Speaker 7 (22:30):
You trust her, you think so, yes, because that means
she sees something that you probably don't even see.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Probably she probably see a lot.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Of the unhealed trauma that you're trying to you know,
bury put away or rap about.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
And she probably see the family you carry a lot.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
I'm sure she sees that she's in the health profession,
right or you were going to be I was. You
say it's called blousing, is how you said? Blessing, blessing
un blessing. You talk about like your uncle being locked
up and taking care of everybody. So I'm sure she's
watching all of that too, Because then you talk about
the pill was a game?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, definitely. I gotta listen to him. She's smart too,
so he's saying this I might do for real. I
was just if I have my phone in here with Yeah,
I was called the lady to call the lady who
call this girl there. I was going to tell her
(23:23):
set it up, is what I'm saying. Said like play
all the man? He did not right, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Bro, I saw you a million dollars worth a game
with Gillian Wallow. Yeah you said you pulled up on.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Young Look at that. We're gonna man, You see what
I'm saying, though, trouble for that one? I didn't, but
I looked him like bad move. I ain't get in
trouble or nothing like. They didn't call me about it
or nothing like. But my in my in my my
(24:02):
carriage time like bad move for me? Make it disappear.
But for real, man, I'm like, make this ship dipped
for real?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
How do you think let me fly builds on your
your legacy? Did you try? Did you try to burn
some of the old version of you there?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Man, I'm just trying to rap for real. I want
them to knock around.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Long story shot, it's wild body about fact people.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's about a wild body.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's number nine.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Play.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I didn't know you playing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Funny as hell.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
You You you talked about on the Poor mind Spot
Poor Minds podcast that you don't want to be a
old dad for I.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Want to care right now?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh you mean you don't want to have a baby
when you're too old?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
You know what? I want to care right now? I want.
I want to walk in and my child gotta fight
because his mama fine, like you feel me? They be like, man,
your mama fine, like because she's young, Like, so you
gotta fight, you gotta fight.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, for his case, he still want to be the
young dad.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You feel.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know. So what stopped me?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Not even God? I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yeah, if God said the same boy or girl, girl.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Dad a healthy kid, I swear the guy that's crazy.
I ain't used to think like that.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You never wanted to kid.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I'm just saying, used to think like healthy kid. Like,
but I see like that ship real like healthy kid.
That's it. I just want a healthy kid.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Make you want a child?
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Now?
Speaker 7 (26:00):
You know you always hear women say y'all want a kid,
don't want to kill? What make you feel like you
want one right now?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Just because I didn't? That was so much lost in
my life. I want to build my family back up.
That's dope. My whole family gone for real. Like my
mama had four brothers, two sisters. Five brothers, two sisters,
all of them dead, one of them alive, my uncle
and here in jail, we all stay in the same house.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
So for that reason that you just said, that's why
you have to break the generational curse. You know you
still got You're still aware, very aware of what happened
to your family. You don't want this to happen to you.
You got to get out of that mindset. You got
to change your mindset because you you're about to. You
want to build a family, you know what I'm saying,
And you want to have your own family because most
of yours is gone, so you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Can do that.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'll be thinking about moving back to New Orleans for
that reason too, bro, just because I want just like
get a big house, like I called bard man, like man,
send me you a house so my whole family can
move in it. But I just know it's a bad move.
But as bad as I just want my family so
bad to go back.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
To it's a bad move to go back to bad.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's a bad move. Like yeah, it's a bad move,
but a family, you feel me. I just asked my
little sister, like, you want me to come home? Like like,
hell no, I'll move them to where you are.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Get that's the goal. The goal is to get the
money that I know, but.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
They don't want to I got the money. They don't
want to come.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
They're comfortable where they are.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
But they want you to stay away too.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You feel me?
Speaker 7 (27:32):
And if your sister, if your family telling you, your
family telling you to stay away, you gotta listen. That's
the answer to talking to Do you ever expressing them
the way you're expressing it us now?
Speaker 3 (27:40):

Speaker 3 (32:08):
You want to be intimate, you canna have like a
real connection.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You feel me something like that.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
What's the song you know that you've written, or even
just a song a bar on this new album that
you wrote when you were hurt, but when you perform
it now you feel you feel healed?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
None of it, bro, I don't think I heard for
none of it. I'm ready to perform it just so
I could just feel it in my soul. You feel
what I'm saying. I won't perform it without without noble
lyrics on it. However, I want you feel me, yeah,
something like that, so.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
You might perform it and the feeling in that moment like.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh shit, yeah, like damn, Like I'm saying this like
and I'm saying how I want. I don't know live
music a little better than regularly is to me. I
don't listen to regularly. I list live music like The
Scissor Live, the Lauren Hill Live, and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
You think you could ever do? Hit me, mam alive.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I can't wait to do it. I was I was calling.
I was calling my my label to let me do
it live, like in the garden, in the garden with
a band like something like that. That should be crazy.
Why would like a garden? Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I thought you.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
That's too much. Yet you never know, they probably let
me not hell not right now.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
You can feel the theater.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Not right now.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, you can do the theater.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I'm saying. They ain't gonna let me do nothing in
the garden right now with the paces they want their money.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
Do you want to be remembered as as a great rapper,
a street legend, or somebody who made it out and gave.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
The blueprint blueprint? Uh? You know, it's funny Like I
used to be. I used to look at the I
looked at the I think that was an l A
Wilson And if you way, before I even made anything,
I was on my way to school looking at it.
And then Nigga was like, man, got to teach what's taught.
And that's how I lived, Like That's how I lived
my life, Like I feel like that was the relationship.
(34:07):
He ever said, like, m hm, real.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Now, one time you said you're not a rapper, you
a hustler? Did that change now? But you're rapping now?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Rapping is hustling. Why, That's why I'm here right now,
and I ain't getting no sleep yet. Shit a hustle
feeling real.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
People talk a lot about like your business acting man
like you understanding the business and doing your own business.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Where does that come from? Is that Mama four nine
or me?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I just I know how to get some money. I
was a hustling in high school. I was selling weave
before my mama knew. So I always had the mentality
to get some money for myself. So I'll just be
structuring it, right, that's it. I'm a little thinker, so
that's probably it.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
What's the biggest misconception about Ralph or.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Now I'm a TikTok rapper, be playing with that.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I don't think songs are so big.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
That's what I'm saying. But that's not my faults, y'all.
That's just where you heard me at.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
What the hell is number one on the TikTok music
charts But even before they get to the charts and
all that, like, I'll be on your songs take over TikTok.
Speaker 9 (35:12):
That's y'all fault.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
That's your fault. You're making it.
Speaker 8 (35:18):
And then GQ named you the most raps most viral
hit maker.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Not for sure, I think that makes sense. Yes, even
though that's crazy to me because I don't feel like
I'm near it is where I want to be in life,
like this is like two percent, like three percent. I
want to get to the hundred. But it's like, man,
I'm low key tired of this ship mixing mingles and
bad images out here, Like I don't want none of that.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Man, you don't got to do it.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
So if you could, you could be the best thing
he ever told me. I'll be saying, notice, you got
to do it.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
You know what's funny. You know I came here. I
thought I was just doing ya the like, Man, you
gotta man listen, I don't want none of that. Ship already,
feel like I'll be saying too much.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Like you feel me and don't be saying ship.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Even like I feel like that's too much like.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Man speaking parables.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I feel like that's just I don't know, Bron, I
feel like I'm saying too much.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
So if you could, you would be like a Kendrick.
You know, he pop out every so often and he
go back in here. You never see him doing no interviews,
just the most we've ever seen him, you know, after
you know that that beef with Kendrick, I mean Drake, Yeah,
he the super Bowl. I felt like he was only
seeing him do interviews and stuff like that because of
the super Bowl and the new album and everything.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
But he's still only talking to his music. That's it,
like one Apple music or something.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, yeah, one music interview.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
That's my dream. Careers Like you put great artists, you
got millions of fans, You can sell out arena where
you want to. You make good music to what everybody's
just going to listen to when you drop it, and
you ain't got to be in no mix. Like when
you go to the arena, you go back and it's
two of y'all. It could be two of your friend
the arena while you go performing from all these people,
(37:03):
like that's my dream career.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's what success is to you.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Just calm, chill, like sometimes I won't get rashy.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Like but not all the time now because you have
to you.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Fee what I'm saying, because I have to exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
You're not too far from that though from that life.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
If you think I definitely am bro and think about
you because I have to get ratchet because they know
Ralphil is like bro, that dude gonna bring the vibes like,
but you could.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Do both and that's actually what a great artist is,
like if I can listen to a song like hear
me Mama, honest, I feel like Meeka.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Is a good person.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Talked about that too, because his songs that was like
for the hood and like hype and people considered ratchet.
It turned into energy music and football teams grabbed it,
you know what I mean, Like he made that transition
so well and that's where I see your stuff.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
So just the crazy part is though you got people
you can talk to about that, like you're not talking
with people one of the biggest in the world. I
can talk to you, it's superstars from New Orleans, like absolutely,
like he's a superstar, like internationally known superstars.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
And generations are living off of our songs.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I'm gonna tell you something. I'll be trying not to
do that because I'm so like mentally here want somebody
tell me one little bitty thing. I don't like. I
don't like you for life, so I try not to
even you feel what I'm saying. Put you in that
position and gave me no bad advice. Get me like
you feel me like I try not even do that,
brocause I just hold gruduus. That's it?
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Like what you mean? Like, what do they tell you something?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Like if they tell me something, if I get a
little vibe and they be like OK, and then I
feel like you just tell me anything, like I'll never
call you again.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
But they could be doing it out of love, like
your man told you don't do this in the video
and you ain't not.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Even that like when they be like, yeah, young, just
keep hustling.
Speaker 10 (38:48):
I just actuallyence, I got you.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
What do you tell? What do you tell?
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Like?
Speaker 4 (39:02):
The younger artists coming up right now right came from
a funked up situation like yours. But maybe that what
what would you tell them?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Man, keep going, bro, I'm going to tell you I finished.
Don't look at keep going, don't look at none of
the negative comments that people posting about you. Look at
the positive ones. Don't don't listen to nobody saying, man,
look at all the positive out it every situation and
every situation as a gym. So that's what I mean
(39:30):
by I keep going because I let people in my
ear and and and made me feel like I couldn't
