this new movie. Congrats you night Patrol. Would I gotta say,
first of all, and not just because you're one of
my closest friends, but you fucking just steal the whole film.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Damn. Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I feel like you and the lady say.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
To me, I think that Nikki is the best actress
in the movie Killed.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
But in terms of like just like I mean, you
were like comedic relief, just NonStop.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I wasn't you know what, man, I wasn't even really
trying to do that. I think that Ryan's just like,
let me go off script a little bit and like
play with it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
So there's like a part where like you're like, yo,
some of this shit's bigger than the gang. And then
YG's in the back and he's like, really like what.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I was like, Man, let me just called down the situation.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, shout out to YG, who just did a good
job of playing himself.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Now. YG was definitely instrumental to the film for sure.
We had to you know he matter of fact, he's
an executive producer on the film. You know what I
mean to him? You know, he brought that energy to
it that we needed, you know what I mean. And
I definitely fed off him to make my character stronger.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
So obviously you've been on this acting journey for five
or six years now. Seriously, obviously you've popped up in
stuff like I remember you did your squad and I
forget the name of the show on Peacock, it was down, bust,
down when you work at the casino. Yeah, obviously the
power stuff down with the King, and then we get

(02:14):
to this where I feel like this is your first
theatrical release.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and that that was crazy too, just
to you know, for people to be able to just
go see me in the theater. It was crazy, you
know what I mean. So it was you know, it was,
it was. It's a good thing. I shout out to
the PR team for Night Patrol, Ryan Prow's, everybody, you
know what I mean. Brittany, she be with me every day,
one of these interviews and all that. Man, I appreciate her.

(02:38):
You know, we've just been you know, popping up in
the theaters and the fans been showing a lot. So
that's that's a real big things.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, look, it's it's it's obviously like this like interesting,
it's an indie horror flick with but it's an oututrageous concept.
It's like the lapd or vampires.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean when I when I
read the script, I was like, yeah, I gotta be
in this some kind of way. I wanted to play
one of the cops.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Really, seeing Punk was such a good racist.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
The cops was white, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
They were the cops are racist, and seeing Punk made
me believe. I was like, yo, oh Ship, seeing Punk
might be racist. He's no, I know, no, he's like
super liberal like here, but he made me believe it.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I'm like, yeah, he did his thing in there. He's scary,
like I said, he's terrifying in real life.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You guys shot a lot of this in Pacoima. Yeah,
I think that's where that is that where the projects
were at.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah, it was every day
going over there. It was definitely a mission.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, it's an interesting area. Shot Tom was there. What
did you guys have any issue shooting at all, like
with any like gangs or anything you have getting cleared?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Definitely gangs. Yeah, it was definitely gangs there. You know, man, hey,
we left all at the y G. I'm gonna keep
it real with Yeah. You know what I'm saying. You know,
he made it, he'd be the guy. He made it
easy for us to just show up the work.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Hence executive producer.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Definitely.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
So what is it? I mean, I want you to
tell the story. You tourned it a bit at the
movie premiere. So you're acting with seeing Punk and there's
a point in time where you think he actually really
wants to fight you. Yeah, what happened.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
He was doing a scene where I had to like
I was trying to shoot him and then he like
grabs the gun or whatever. Yeah. I brought the gun
up a little too quick and it hit him in
the hand and it drew blood, and then like we
had to cut and he was pissed the fuck off,
and I was like, Damn, I think I'm gonna really
have to fight this dude. But no, I didn't not.

(04:29):
I didn't really think it was gonna escalate anything. But
you know, that's just one of the memorable moments.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
That's my favorite wrestler of all times.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I love man. My favorite wrestle of all time is
probably stone Cold.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Shout the stone Cold Love stone Cold. Yeah, Stone Colder
is up there. Yeah definitely it's punk, like a cool dude. Yeah,
definitely definitely. Is he like a fan of what you do?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Like?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Does he know who you are?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I don't think so, but I knew who he was,
so that was cool.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, it's definitely for you. Is there like a big
because you've been on big production sets before obviously when
it comes to like the star stuff, and yeah, what's
the difference between that and like being on this set
and being like because you have so much screen time
on this movie.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I mean really it was you know, it wasn't really
anything different. You know. I was on there with a
couple of seasoned actors, Justin Long and Dermo Malroney, So
it was you know, it was interesting to you know,
kind of feed off those guys and you know, and
learn from them. So it was just like any other set,
you know. I was just you know, like I'm really
trying to make my bones and this ship. So I'm

(05:29):
really trying to like show the you know, the directors
and you know, the crew and the production and I'm
you know, really they're putting the work in.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, I think it's not just some.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Rapper getting rolls. You know.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I came out of it and I was like, Yeah,
whoever sees this movie, if they're like directors or Netflix,
it's like they got to give you a show, they
got even a sitcom.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, I'm down with it, you know what I'm saying.
Other rappers getting shows?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, Vince Staples. I mean, his ship was good. I
do think if it were up to you, would it
be like a sketch comedy show? Would it be a
sitcom if you if you had your way to just
like do a show.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I think that, you know, I think, you know, as
an actor, I think I'm versatile enough to do whatever.
You know, where there's some comedy stuff, some action stuff.
It don't really matter, you know. I just want to
just you know, get in front of the camera and
show what I could do, you know, regardless of what
it is. You know, I really want to get into
you know, the action thriller kind of serious genre of things,

(06:31):
kind of like a Westy Snipes, you know, some Passage
of fifty seven type ship. So yeah, yeah, so you know,
I really want to get into that. That's a lane
that I definitely want to penetrate next. But uh, you know,
I'm taking it as it goes, man, you know what
I mean. It's uh, you know, you're blessed to be
a working actor in Hollywood period right now, you know,

(06:52):
with everything that's going on a ship. Yeah, so I'm
you know, just glad that people want to, you know,
use me for things, and you know, see that I.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Got twenty five, great year for you obviously.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
On the music side, Alfredo two comes out does not disappoint.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Y'all. Thought I was disappointed with the parts. I mean,
you know, some people come with a part two and yeah,
I understand it can get well.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I mean, and I might be in the minority of
this opinion, but I actually thought Alfredo two is better
than ALFREDA one.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Agree.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I think people have like nostalgic connection because that was
like when I think of Covid, I think of Alfredo,
but I feel like it's a better, more well rounded listen.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeahs back. I mean honestly, you know, when I made it,
I didn't like set out to like top Alfredo one
or anything like that, but I knew that staying within
that series, you know, I had to elevate and not
you know what I mean, like you know, drop. So
it was just like, you know, I gotta put a
little bit more extra sauce on this one. I gotta

(07:54):
kind of like you know, you know, in all lessons,
kind of make it better. So you know, I just
stuck to my God, and I always, you know, does
what he does. So you know, I think I think
on this one, I probably got a little bit more creative. Yeah,
I think the first one, I you know, I didn't
expect it to be what it was. It was just
me and now just knocking out records like we was
doing a mixtape or something like that.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
So I feel like you guys were a lot more
intentional with the second one too. It took I feel
like it. I mean, at least I know you guys
are working on a friend gave me.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
It gave me a chance to like really like when
I did the first one and we got nominated and
all that, you know what I mean. It gave me
a chance to really like get into this second one
and really like plan it out, you know what I mean,
because like I said, I wanted to stay within the
with within the series of it. That's why I you know,
you know, the artwork was, you know, in line with
the first one. You know, we just like added a

(08:44):
couple of tweaks and just you know, did I think
I added the like Japanese feel to this one, you know,
because you know, I was watching a lot of like
your cools of films during the time making it, and
you know, I was like, damn, that'd be a great
twist on it, and then I like actually went to
Japan and really like studied it, and you know, I
was going.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
To say, like, the you guys are so good at
like each one of these albums has created like its
own like universe, whether it's the clothes, the merch, the
limited vinyl releases. Was it your idea? Was it like
the japan pivot because it was so perfect?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Everything's always my ideal?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Okay, fuck Lambo?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, definitely, you know, you know, me and Lambo together
we can't lose, you know what I mean. So you know,
we definitely came with the concept to do this in
the you know, with the Japanese Yeah, you know what
I mean. It was you know, and it panned out
correctly and came out exactly how we wanted it. Only
thing that I wish that we would have done is

(09:46):
made the film a little bit longer because it was
Dope for beings, like was fifteen twenty minutes. You know,
that's the only part of the iron like that I
was frustrated about that we didn't get more time to spend,
you know, more time on the film.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Was that just be because it was being shot overseas and.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
It was a lot of things involved with that time
constraints being shot overseas, you know what I'm saying, like budgets,
all kind of stuff. So it's just like you know,
we wanted to next time around, I definitely want to
do something like more like feature Land. And you know,
with that said me like getting into like the film thing.
I think, you know, going forward, every project that I do.

(10:24):
When I do, like, if I get back into doing
like musical projects, it'll be more like a soundtrack so
to speak, because I feel like I'm in that stage
of my career where I just want to like create
films and then make music to go along with it.
I feel like that's how I build out the world
and the build out the themes for these albums, because

(10:45):
I mean, honestly, I can see it first, you know
what I mean, I can I see the music, if
that makes me sense.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I mean, every one of your albums has an aesthetic
like yeah, yeah, you know, Triples is like very like
just vegas Bender. Yeah, I feel like You Only Die
Once is a horror movie for sure. It came out
on Halloween, so definitely, definitely, definitely a lot of the
of that album was recorded around the same time that
you were doing Alfredo too, correct.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think honestly, those two I recorded both of those
albums together. I think that's probably one of my best
albums ever.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I agree it's the most slept on album.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, definitely. I think that's one of my best albums
that I ever made, maybe one of my favorites, so
maybe my favorite. On certain days, it is my.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Face And it was like an extension of Triple s
because of What's What's brother Us the guy who.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Plays Jesus Sleep shout out to Sleep Johnson.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
He's got the he's got his part on there.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, yeah, he is stapling, like you know, just I just.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Think that that run between like Alfredo de Alfredo two
and everything in between is like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Man, you know, I've been working real hard and you know,
it's just been showing, bro, and I got more like
I think I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have like a
deluxe for you only die once and like a deluxe
f Alfredo this year. But you know, other than that,
I'm just cruising like film and stuff and performing doing festivals.
I don't think I'm gonna do like a new album
this year or nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
But the tour had to feel good, man, because you know,
there's a lot of artists whose like ability to sell
hard tickets just isn't there anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, I agree, And.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Like you're able to go to do this sold out tour,
do these giant venues all over the country overseas. I mean,
I feel like that's got to be like that positive
reinforcement because you've had an interesting, like five years, like
ups and downs, public shit going on. Like when you
go in and get in front of those fans and
they sing every fucking lyric and the tickets are sold out,

(12:34):
it's got to feel good.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I mean, you know what, man, it is what it is.
I mean, like you know, you know, life is like
a song man. You can't have a rhythm without the blues.
So you know, you you build off all of that
and you just you know, keep going. I think, you know,
without all of the adversity, you know, I would have
thought the shit was easy. So I ain't never think
the shit was easy. So that made me go harder.
And you know I think that you know, I'm gona

(12:57):
continue to elevate because of that.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
So do you think all that adverse he like added
to like just the music. Yeah, this ship's gotta be.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Definitely it's inspiration, you know what I mean. Sometimes you
got to go play in the mud and get dirty,
you know what I mean. You know, and the adn't
gonna get clean, you know what I mean. So I don't.
I don't regret nothing. I don't feel no way about
nothing or nobody. I just don't feel no way about
nobody or nothing. I just like I'm numb to this ship.

(13:26):
And I'm just like, you know, I'm you know, I'm
like war Machine or Iron Man or something. You know.
I don't think I could be.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, I was. Me and are gay friend Spencer because
we have a really good LGBTQ friend. We represent the
whole crew, you know, so gay racist Spencer bringing uh no,
so me and they've always talked. We're like, you know,
like all the crazy ship that you've gone through, Like
I don't like nobody else is like coming out on
the other side of this the way it's like just

(13:55):
the just the amount of just like you know, fortitude
that you have to just like still be yourself, not
let it knock you off your pivot, and like just.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You can't take yourself too seriously either, That's the key.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Everybody takes themselves too serious.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
But you I think a lot of these dudes take
themselves too seriously and we see right through it. That's fake.
So you know, and it shines through the music, its
it shines through everything they do. So you know, and
you know my and you know my people. I don't
call them my fans. I call them my people, my people.
They know they know, you know what I'm cut with
what I'm cut like, they know what they're gonna get

(14:32):
out of me. They're not ain't gonna half fast my project.
They're not gonna half fast the show. They know, and
they spend their money or whatever to get out they
see them come see me because I know you you know,
you could be doing anything.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, you gotta get a babysitter sometimes exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
So I don't take that for granted, you know what
I mean. It don't matter if I'm performing for you know,
five people with five thousand, you know, I'm always you know,
sell out and do the same show. You know what
I'm saying, Like it is what it is. Like I said,
I got some festivals coming and I'm gonna do some
real special things at the festival. You know what I'm saying.
So I think me and Alchemists got Bonnarou coming up
fire that's gonna be crazy. We got a Governor's ball

(15:09):
that's gonna be cool fire, you know what I mean.
So it's more stuff about to be announced too.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Okay, do you uh to me? Like I've been saying
this forever, I think you're one of the greatest of
all time. I've had you appreciate it, very high on
my list for a long long time, and.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
I think that I don't think I get the credit.
I mean, I know, I don't even got to think
about it, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
But I want to finish as I say, real quick.
Like I feel like at this point, I don't know,
like there's maybe like five people, six people whose discography
can like really hang with yours, right, and so like
that's like, do you feel like finally people are putting
you in the conversations that you need to be in
and that is like you are one of the goats?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
You know what. When I was younger, I used to
really really care about that. But you know, I think
that I've you know, my record speaks for itself. You know,
I think I've elevated myself to a level enough that
I'm not in the so called rap race anymore. You

(16:18):
know what I mean, I'm not competing with nobody, you
know what I mean. I kind of carved my own
lane in this thing. You know what I mean. You
can say what you want and do what you want.
Like I said, the results speak for themselves, you know
what I mean. You can try to keep me out
of the conversation. I feel like a lot of my career,
you know, they always tried to keep me out of

(16:40):
the conversation because I'm not you know, maybe it could
be you know, geographically, because I'm not from a you know,
a certain place in New York, a Los Angeles or
Atlanta or whatever. You know what I mean. I'm from Gary, Indiana.
I'm a one of one. It ain't really nothing like me.
So I mean, you know, it's like where do we
kind of put them in it? You know? That was
the thing earlier in my career when I was, when

(17:02):
I was, when I had my first record deal, they
didn't really know how to market me being from Gary.
So you know, in the industry, still don't and I
showed them how to do it. So it's just like
you know, like I said, man, I'm a one on
one and you know I'm they I've seen this conversation
and you know, I hate to always compare to sports,

(17:26):
but like I heard somebody say, like they was comparing
like Jordan to Lebron, and you know, which is crazy
conversation because there's only one Lebron, There's only one Jordan.
But you know, either way to go. It was basically
saying who the goat or whatnot? And the difference when
Jordan stepped on the court. Somebody said it was like

(17:46):
a fear, you know what I mean. I think that
you know, people you know, tend to shy away from
what they fear. It's probably why you don't see me,
you know on a lot of people records, you know,
doing a lot of like features are really interacting with
you know, the rap game like that. Like I said,
I ain't really in a rap race. And you know

(18:11):
when you when you get on the song with me,
it's a fear. It's a thing you know, you're not
just you know, you know when I come, what comes
with that? You know what I'm saying. So you know
you got to bring whatever kind of a game if
you're one of those competitive rappers. Now, if you want
to just get on the song with me and we
just have fun, we have fun. But you got motherfuckers

(18:33):
in this game and think they Jedi nights when they
really not. So you know, but you know, and that's
why you probably never heard me on the record with
them or things of that nature. So it's like, you know,
like I said, man, when I step in the booth,
it's fear to come along with my name.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Have you ever done a record in like someone took
you off of it or you heard it like later
you're like, wait, I cut something for that.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, definitely, plenty of times. I've been on albums that
I ain't gonna say which ones, but you know stuff,
then yeah, definitely got taking off and you know what,
And I'm not you know, gonna say that. You know
that they probably you know that the fear was the
fact that they probably just didn't like how I came
on the song. It could be things of that nature.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
It could be just like fit.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, yeah, it probably didn't fit, you know what I mean.
So I can't say that, you know, in the case
with everybody, you know what I mean. But you know,
like I said, man, when I and they know it's
a it's time to put your hard hat on. When
I get in the booth.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
When you talk about the Jedi ship and the NBA analogy,
if you're putting together you're starting five, it's you. I
don't know what position you're playing. How are you feeling
out the Jedi MC starting five, Freddy Gibbs five.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Damn, that's a credit, you know what, Man? I don't know. Man,
I'm not no culture and no plundit. I just know
I'm in it. That's all I can say.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I think Kendrick's on there with you. Yeah, yeah, like
those are the I mean, that's that's true.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's cool.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Jaco, maybe that's cool.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Who's who's the six man?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Not me?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Hey, we got to stop the interview to tell you
about our good folks. Odd Socks.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Man.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Now, these are the odd Socks basics, ladies and gentlemen. Now,
when I tell you this is a product that every
single day I'm alive for the last five six years
I have used are these odd Socks basics. Now, what
odd Socks is doing is they're kind of reinventing the
sock game. If we're being honest and the underwear game.
You know a lot of times you'll hit Walmart, you'll

(20:27):
hit Target, you'll get some socks, you get some draws.
They're affordable, stand up with holes in them. They don't
really feel great. Not odd Socks, Ladies and gentlemen. These
odd Socks basics are the most comfortable socks I've ever
had on my feet. Not only that, but you're super affordable.
Fourteen ninety nine for a six pack. That's it odd

(20:48):
socks dot Com. And if you don't believe me, sock
check full. Wait that's the ex is on the other side.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Ah that. Sorry you had to see those white legs.
But it's so dope that, you know, I get to
push a product that I use and that I love,
so odd Socks they got the six pack socks for
fourteen ninety nine a odd socks dot Com the basics.
This is the future of socks, the future of underwear

(21:18):
comfort and affordability. I'm talking about affordability without jeopardizing the
quality because they are the most comfortable socks you ever
put on your feet. Ladies and gents, uh and the ETCeteras.
Got to show love to the ETCeteras. We like all
the stripes on the flag. There are odd socks dot
com man, much love to my brothers over there. Make
sure you get some right now, odd socks dot Com.
Let's get back to the interview. Do you think ever

(21:41):
back to like, you know, the your freshman cover. If
you look at that freshman cover you got, it's Nipsy Coal.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Pill, correct, j.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Rock, Big Sean, Big Sean, Yeah, I don't remember a
Whiz Yeah, definitely Whiz Donnis yep.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I don't remember who else for Sean yep Uh. I
think you named everybody right there. It was only us.
What was before they was putting twenty motherfuckers on there?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, like an R and B singer, like a ten
spot yeah, and like.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
A clothing designer or some ship like that.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Do you remember like that shooting, like just you know,
that was kind of that moment where like you and
Pill were going crazy, you guys are hopping on each
other stuff, you had you had the blog shit going
going nuts. What was that shoot?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Like, I mean it was a different era, man, you
know what I mean? Like you said, that was like
the blog era Freshman cover. I just remember meet Nipsey
at that shoot I already knew Jay Rock.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, Jay Rock was on Straight Kill.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah. Yeah. I remember some people was late coming and
we had to like hold up the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Surprised you weren't late.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
I was on time, man, I wasn't age you guys.
Guys were I from don't get opportunities like that often,
so I had to really make it work. I mean,
to me, I think that's one of the most iconic
you know, freshman covers, that one and the one, the
one the year before and the year after that, So
I think, yeah, yeah, I think those three in a
row were like the most you know, iconic ones in

(23:16):
my opinion. Not to say that nobody that was on
another one is an iconic or anything of that nature,
but I think those collectively probably the best one.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah. When you think back to the blog era, man,
like it was such a special time and like you
had just gotten you got released from Minutes Scope, right, correct,
and then you guys decided to just go crazy with
putting out all this music.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah yeah, I mean it was you know, it wasn't
as simple, but no.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
There was a lot that I'm saying, like you get
released and then you know.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
You get dropped, that you just go hard. I mean, yeah,
you gotta go hard.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
There was so much. I just remember, like you had
so much music coming out. You had the what was
the tape you had where you redid the Masterpiece cover
with Ski?

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh wow, DJ Ski, It's crazy shout out to j
Ski was something like that.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
What was the g I ship?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Uh liver or died? I don't know. I forgot man.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Did you have one that looked like a Lauren Hill cover?

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Miseducation? Yeah? I was just dropping you. I was trying
to just like I said, I was just trying to
sharpen up. I don't even think I was. I wasn't ready.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yet, you know, like like when you were on Interscope.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, I wasn't ready yet, you know. And I think
that you know, everything you know happens for a reason.
You know, God give you things when when you're supposed
to have them. I wasn't ready yet to step out
there yet as a you know, I had you know,
I had to train, you know. And I think all
of that, those years leading up to that leading up
to like I say, Bandana, I mean not bandana like Pinata,

(24:51):
all the years leading up to everything before that, I
think it was just me just training, you know what
I mean, me learning the industry, me learning how to
be uh what I need to be to sustain you know,
longer than a two or three year career.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, it's funny because it's like you had kind of
gone through like your own version of like a version
of rap school with the Interscope ship and then being
on your own and then the whole other you know,
experience working with g Z for that little amount of
time or roll with him.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
And yeah, and then that was that was instrumental in
my career though, because I learned how to be a pro.
Truth is, you know what I mean being around him.
I hadn't been around anybody of that magnitude yet, you
know what I mean, like uh you know, I mean,
I mean, it's probably a motherfucking thing on the corner
that rap everybody wrap, motherfucker that work at the grocery
store rap. And I was just a rapper at that point,

(25:43):
you know, until I got around g Z and UH
and and Carbon fifteen, and you know, they taught me
how to be a professional at this thing, you know,
so and then I think that's a that's the biggest
thing I took from that, you know, all other bullshit aside,
but that's the that was instrumental.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
There was this record that you were on with Eminem
that leaked. Do you remember this? I remember it, but
so there's like blog era, there's like a random leak
that comes out and it's you, Eminem and Geezy. Right, yeah,
it's on the internet.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
I heard that. I remember it, but you know, it
was vague, you know, it was I kind of remember it,
but I know what it was. I think it was
something that that Jeezy put together for his album. It
wasn't like for mine or anything. It was just something
that I got on. I'd be in the studio doing
you know, twenty thirty records a day when I was
around them, so that was just another one. I didn't

(26:39):
really think that it was anything for people to right.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I just remember there was a big stink about it.
I don't remember all the details though, but I don't know.
But you obviously have been on the you know, on
the record with so many artists that are that you
obviously I had a like scarface.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
We go on and on and on.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Correct who has been like your kind of bucket list
feature that for whatever reason, it just hasn't happened yet
that you would love to, you know, somebody love to
work with mmmm?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Right Eric abadu that I ain't no record with Erica
Bad yet. I really want to do that.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
I mean, look, man, Her and Al got their ship.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I know, we just haven't gotten around to it. It
ain't it ain't been like a certain reason, you know,
anything like that, you know, but uh, we just haven't
gotten around to it. I want to do something with
Jill Scott that would be amazing. You know. I'm on
my soul R and B wave, you know what I mean.
Like rappers, you know, it's cool, you know what I mean.
If a rapper want to rap with me, that's great.

(27:35):
But you know, I don't really care about that anymore
at this point in my career. I'm really just trying
to just build myself up as a musician, as you know,
and keep getting getting better and better.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
I don't know why. Randomly, I was listening to Meek
Mill at the gym today and I was like, Yo,
Freddie and Meek Mill low key would be crazy, but
I don't know, it's interesting French fries together, fuck you yo.
So when it comes to this acting shit, when because
I feel like for a lot of people, like if

(28:08):
it feels like when you're an artist and you have
some notoriety, you can just fall into some acting without
it necessarily being a passion. Right, Well, what point in
time did you kind of like feel like, oh, I
like this and this is something that like I want
to try to apply myself to.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
You know what, maybe as I look back, I probably
wanted to be an actor, probably longer than I wanted
to be a rapper. I always been interested in film
or you know, cinematography, you know, and I just never
you know, knew really knew how to get into that.
You know, not to say that rap was easy to
get into, but uh, you know, it's a you know,

(28:46):
it was the talent I leaned on, and talent that
I you know, pursued, and you know, I knew eventually
that I would eventually get to that. With the way
things are now, I feel like that, I mean, the
position to do things in film kind of sort of
the same way I did things in rap, Like independently,

(29:07):
I could, you know, create my own things. I could
write my own scripts, produce my own things. You know.
You know, I'm you know, well versed in a lot
of things with this stuff, from like shooting my videos.
You know, my videos was kind of like mini films.
When I did the Crime Pays video, That's how I
got my first acting job. So it's like, you know,
I'm not a stranger to construction constructing these things. So

(29:30):
I think that I can just attack the film world
the same way I attack the rap world. You know.
I know I got good people around me that you
know that I would you know, lean on to do
the things that I need them to do. So I
think that I can't have a similar impact.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Do you think you could, like or you would be
interested in like producing your own ship, like finding funding
and just like saying, hey, let's just do it our
own and then shop something.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
That's the way to do it.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Man.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I mean, I look at a you know, one of
my main inspirations in this thing is definitely always gonna
be fifty cent from the from the way he maneuvered
through music and a lot of things he's doing with
film is definitely inspiration. I saw the thing that he's
doing in the Shreveport and I was like, that facility
looks that could be something that I could definitely do
in Gary one day. So it's always inspiration, you know,

(30:15):
especially see a black man doing that, you know what
I mean. So I'm definitely inspired and working toward getting
to that level.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Do you have this uh crackhead story that goes viral
on Joe Rogan?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Yeah, and then you have another crazy story that goes
viral because they illustrated about Michael Jackson.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's true, that's true. Both of those stories are true. Man,
not proud of the crackhead one.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
But when you when you go because the crackhead shit
is hilarious because I think you said, like you like
there was like a there might have been a Tech
nine involved or.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, Joe heard me eating gummies and shit and I
was just saying shit that I should.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
That was the longest interview of all time because I
was sitting outside of it. It was four and a
half hours long, and I was like, YEO, what are
we fucking doing here?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah? Luckily nobody got hurt or criminated any further?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Did that did when you go on like that dude
ship does like do you see the like like the
uptick in like followers or because I was you know,
it's such a form, like does it like move the needle.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, yeah, I love Joe, Joe. Joe, Joe's Joe's my guy.
Joe still owe me like fifty thousand dollars one hundred thousand,
or I haven't he much he got to do? You
know what I'm talking about. He owed me a donation,
oh donation. Yeah, he owed me a donation to the
black community. But we'll talking about you know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Hey, Draco's me fifty grand oh.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah, from that Phoenix Suns. I remember that you were there.
I was there. I remember that. Drake can't get out
of that. I was there. I witnessed that bit.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
He told me Steph Curry and the Warriors were gonna
go further than the Suns, and that year the Sons
went to the finals.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yep, that's true, and uh it is.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
I mean, listen, I don't think Drake's doing me any favors.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, but I was there. I just want to know
you I was there for that bit.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah. And for all the fucking crazy, stupid people on Twitter,
you're crazy for bringing up the coincidence of this fucking
cartoon rabbit. You guys fucking kicked it for we all
hung out for like two hours hey Man and shot
the ship. Drake was a big fan of yours. He
was talking about specific joints of yours. He was talking
about trying to get on triple les. You don't have

(32:19):
to say it, because I could.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Fucking I'm a big fan man. I'm a fan of everybody. Man.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Would you ever if you got You've had your fair
share of beefs. Would you ever sue someone if you
got into a beef with them?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Damn? That's a good question.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Mm hmm, let's say it, Miss stays on record.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's just Vinyl me and my twenties. I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
But no, no, maybe in your fifties.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Man, that the text paying American that I am nowadays.
Maybe you never know, depends on what it is. You know.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
It didn't work for Aubrey, that's all.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Oh, I wouldn't have sue for that. I wouldn't did that. Yeah,
I want to you know, if we got a suit
and we got a suit for something serious but not
you know, not that. Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
What what was your thoughts? Just like, you're obviously hip
hop and you're a fan of Kendrick and Drake. Drake's
incredible Kendrick and did you enjoy the twenty twenty four
b Renaissance.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. There's a lot
of you know, back and forth and stuff. I went
to some of the concerts and stuff.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Could you go to Pop Out?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Oh? I didn't go to that. I was crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Did you go to any any of the Kendrick Stadium stuff?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
My daughter definitely wanted me to take her. Yeah, she
bugged me. I took her to one of the shows. Yeah,
it won't gona let me breathe by it. Take there
to go see see one of those shows. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I was like, finally beef that Freddy's not involved in it.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, let me watch them the sideline. Man, I love
everybody Man twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Man, it's like, so, what what did you learn because
you're very much around vultures and yeah, uh, you know,
you talked about kind of how Geez had taught you
how to be a professional. What did you learn about
being around Yay so much?

Speaker 1 (34:12):
That's a good question. He definitely, Uh is one of
the most creative people that I've ever been around. So
that side of thinking outside the box, being a little
bit more creative, pushing limits, that's really the the positive

(34:35):
things that I got from being around Kanye at long,
just seeing seeing him work in his space and be creative,
and and TOI dollar Sign as well about Aliens. You know,
one of the I tell people every time all the time,
he's one of the best musicians I ever worked with,
you know what I mean, because he can do everything great,
you know what I mean. So shout out to Todd

(34:57):
dollar Sign I case. You know, just working with those
guys gave me, like I said, just gave me some inspiration,
you know what I mean. I might not have I wish,
you know, the project would have went further and more
the stuff that we worked on, would the guy released.
But you know that's.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
I talked to Yae like the night, like, so there's
this like vultures thing in Vegas and you and I
both invited me.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
So I come out and yeah, I remember that you
were fucked up by the way, But I ended up
talking to Kanye that night and I'm just talking.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I'm like, yo, Freddy killed that ship and he was
like yeah, So Kanye talks about like we're gonna do
a whole thing, you know. So you guys had like
talked about or doing an entire Yay Freddy album project.
I know you had shared stuff with me. Was there
like how much of that was worked on? If anything
was there, like and was that something that like you

(35:57):
felt like, oh that this might actually happen.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Records there, Yeah, it's some records. There's some songs that
we got.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Is there you and I got someone really shited stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I got some records. And you know,
I mean most importantly, you know, you know Funk all
of the records and all of that ship. You know,
I think that you know, it's you know, you just
got to just like you know, pray for Yay and
just hope that he get back to where he's supposed

(36:26):
to be, you know, and because uh, you know that's
really all that matter, you know what I mean, Because
if that don't happen, and you know, ain't nothing, it
ain't no music or nothing coming out. So I just
want him to just get to the space he needs
to be in, you know what I mean, like whatever
whatever that is.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah. I feel like sometimes like we all forget like
he's bipolar, and like I got bipolar people in my life,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Like, yeah, I mean sometimes I'm a little bipolar so
I told him most of the time, I'm a Gemini man,
you know too, so Isy, Yeah, birthdays like six days apart.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Do you think because because I feel like you're verse
on Back to Me was like one of the best
verses of the year when it came out, and like
it kind of felt like, you know, Lebron blocking Staph
in the finals, like just just peak performance. What what
what is that session like? And what's kind of the
reaction everybody when they hear you get that ship off?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I mean, like I said, man, like when I strike fear,
when I go into booth, you know what I mean?
Like it was I wasn't the only person on that song.
Who else was on it? Even say that, okay, but
I wasn't the only other rapper on that song. It
wasn't the only other I wasn't the only person that
he you know, peaked, you know. I mean, I just

(37:42):
you know, that was my first time really working with him,
and when I stepped in there, I'm in business. And
that's the same attitude I carried, you know, throughout the
whole time he was working on Vultures and everything else.
So you know, my goal is just to go in
there and make a amen. I did that, you know
what I mean? And what however many bars that was?

(38:03):
He ain't take me that long. I probably wrote that
verse in like five ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I mean, obviously it's probably Ay's decision to be like,
we got to take this other guy off.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
This is crazy.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Guys, guys, oh did you help? Because he is known
to have like get help with bars and ship? Were
you helping him with any lines while you guys are recording?
You know, he never hides it, he's I think that he.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Was always working together, man, you know what I mean.
I think that that.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
I think that's what because his verse was hard on
that too, of course, yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I think that. Uh. What made that, what made that
whole process for me great was seeing how he works,
you know how it's such a collective effort, you know
what I mean. I won't take the credit for nothing
that a legend like him, does, you know what I mean?
All I could say is, you know, I definitely brought
my oro to the room, into the music.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
You have these relationships with producers. Shout out to mad Lib.
You guys killed it at right? Was it that the Greek?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, the Greek? The Greek.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
It's one of my favorite shows I ever did. Degree.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Obviously, you guys have two classics together. Ye, you and
now have two classics together. Damn near three because I
consider you and Spintish shit is up there too.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
But yeah, that is up there. It is classic. That's definitely.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
What like each one of those guys is so different?
What is kind of like the thing about each one
of them that you gotta know, like, Okay, if I'm
gonna get in with al, I gotta approach it this way.
If I gotta get in with mad Lib, I gotta
approach it this way. Is there is there any like
starch difference between the creative process with those two.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Guys, not necessarily to me at all? In it twines
because to me, without a pinata and bandana, I wouldn't
have a outfront from one and two, you know what
I mean. So it's I think that mad Lib it
was kind of like the sense say that like sharpened
my skills, you know what I mean for me to
even like get in that arena to like do those

(39:55):
albums with Alchemists. So you know, coming off of those two,
like you said classics something like you said that because
you know. I mean, there ain't too many rappers that
got multiple classics. That's neither here nor there. That's neither
here nor there. But you know, coming off of those two,
like you said, classic albums, you know, it gave me
the confidence to walk into our studio and like, yo,

(40:18):
I'm about to do the same thing. I'm not about
to waste your time like we were about the world
tour this shit. We're about to make a like I said,
another classic. So we did it back to back. So
I mean, and you know, I think that speaks volumes?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Is it each time? Because I'm assuming you're never getting
just beat sent to you by those guys. You have
to be in with them when you record them or
is it?

Speaker 1 (40:40):
It depends on man. You know, we be on the road,
We all on the road, we all fathers, you know
what I mean. So it's like, you know, sometime whatever's convenient,
you know, I definitely get in with them for you know,
most of these projects, you know what I mean. So
it's you know, it's a blessing to just be able
to just walk in the studio with those guys.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
You know, it feels like it would only make sense
that like sometime in the next five years you do
offer eight on three. I mean, you know, just trying
to think what kind of noodles we could get in
there this time.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Oh yeah, I was thinking about that too. But you know,
I mean right now, I'm so like video maybe. Oh no, man,
Like I haven't really been tuned into really like doing
no music lately. I've been so like wrapped up in
the film side, like you know, reading and auditioning and
creating on that side. Like I said, man, I thank
God for rap. You know, It's given me, you know,

(41:30):
things that I, you know, never would imagine, you know,
a life that I never would imagine having. And you know,
I'm glad that you know, we had such you know,
even having you know, such success the past a few years.
Now I can like kind of take some time and
really like, you know, focus on other passions. You know.
I thank God for that.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah, do you Because you've you and I have talked
a lot, and you're always like flirting with the idea
of like quitting or retiring or stepping away.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
I think about it a lot. I mean, I mean,
you just named you just named off four classic albums.
What do I have left to prove?

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Ship do some more, like when you come off a
sold out tour the way you just did, it's like,
oh ship, Like I mean, this is still working.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Four classics out, four classic albums. I mean I'm always
be able to tour, you know what I mean, Like
the Grateful Dead can still tour. So you know, I'm
always get my fans what they want, you know, and
you know, I feel like I gave them, you know,
pieces of art that's gonna you know, live forever, you
know what I mean. So when if and when I

(42:35):
do decide to go back and do another project, you know,
it's got to be something special, man, you know what
I mean. Like I said, I don't I don't feel
like I got anything left to prove on the wrap side.
I ain't even really in the rap.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Race, right, and you just kind of I mean, you
built your own universe. Like if the rap world wants
to come inside, they can come inside.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
If not, you know, I don't. I don't want to
be compared to like nobody no more. I want to
be my own thing. So it's uh, you know, when
I when I do decide to like if I decide
to do that, then you know it's definitely got to
be some special, something worthwhile and something.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
That maybe like an album with Kate Trinada. Oh, I
mean I saw you talked about that. Is that a thing?

Speaker 1 (43:21):
I love Kate Trinada. Man, that's definitely my homie. I
definitely he working on some music right now, and I
definitely are with him. Helped him assist in some music
that he was working on. But as far as like me,
like nah, like as far as like the album with me,
I mean, like I said, we flirt with those ideas
and stuff like that, but I ain't working on nothing

(43:43):
right now. Like for me, I'm just you know, I
just got a new dog.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
On the entertainment side, I would love if you and
like obviously you and Tyler have worked together. Don't have
so much stuff throughout your career, but I feel like
you and Tyler working on some sort of wow a movie.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
We gotta we got we got. I think we got
some records that he didn't use. We definitely got some stuff,
some unheard stuff that he.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Got on just even away from the music, just like
you guys doing some funny ship.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Hey, I love that. I mean, you know, it's hard
to get a rich nigga like that on the phone,
so you know.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
It is kind of crazy. Like I was at camp
flogging and I was like, this is fucking crazy. Like
I remember like editing this dude's song is in like
twenty eleven.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Yeah, once I seen that nigga and that Marty Supreme ship,
I was like, he done.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
I'm like, all right, man, but I feel like that's
you're like, you're gonna have a Marty Supreme moment, very
very shy.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
I just got to get up there. I just gotta
keep it out of the tiler man. That's that's that's
that's that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
So you guys have a lot of unreleased stuff.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
We got some stuff. Yeah, he got you gotta let
you hear.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Is you think. I feel like Tyler's one of the
most improved mcs of the last like fifteen years or so.
If you just look at his like growth to growth,
project to project, he's one of them ones yeah yeah,
fire yeah. So hey, we gotta wrap up this interview,
another one presented by Hardan. Baby you already know what
it is. Shout out to Hardeen for presenting another episode

(45:20):
of the bootle Like podcast. Don't forget when you're in Vegas,
you're getting that tax, you getting that uber say take
me to Hardean, the number one cannabis dispensary in the world.
Premium selection of the craziest gas you could ever ask for,
and then they break down all what all the turps mean.
It's incredible. Go to Hardan underscore Las Vegas, shoot him
a follow and when you're in Las Vegas and make
sure you shoot them a visit. Do you feel like

(45:44):
if you let's fast forward, if you could play somebody,
Let's say there's like a you know, we saw Denzel
play Malcolm X. Who would you What's a historical figure
you would like to play in a movie.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Oh. I was just telling my friend it's just crazy
because I was watching Dave Chappelle special. So fuck my
dream my dream role. Really, you know this wild probably
be very difficult, well off, but Jack Johnson the boxer, Yeah,
I would love to do that. I would love to
you know, be involved in creating a film centered around him.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
It's kind of crazy that, like that was a story that,
like it's not very big because and.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
You know why, I think it was knocking white people
out and fucking their bitches. So, I mean, it is
what it is. It's like Dave Chapelle said, But I
definitely think it's you know, especially like I said, coming
off Chappelle Special and looking at that, it's definitely a
story that needs to be told. Oh my bad.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
No, I feel like there needs to be a movie.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
It definitely needs to be a movie, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
So you have flirted with comedy a lot.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
You've done some stand up, hosted some stand up show, My.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Own Comedy Special, Cocaine Comedy.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Are you? Is that something that obviously I feel like
a lot of the ship you do is pretty like
improv off the cuff.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
But that's like its own world too.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah. I mean, like I'm I wouldn't dare step on
the toes of a comedian and be like, oh, I'm
a comedian, you know what I'm saying. Rappert like, but
I love the genre. I love the art form of it.
Or I love being involved in it. I love introducing
people to like new comedians. So it's like, you know,
when I do my little comedy thing, I kind of

(47:31):
do it in the sense of like a take a
page that like Martin Lawrence's book, and uh, you know,
kind of entertain the crowd a little bit and then
bring out the guys that are really you know, those.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Dogs, like what Steve Harvey did on The Kings of Comedy.
Steve Harvey just he hosted it. He kind of did.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Let you know, I mean, nah, come on, motherfucker, don't
take credit. Steve Harvey is a real comedian. Of course
he put the work in. That's what I'm saying. That's like,
you know, those guys I see the life of com
those guys are some of those motherfuckers on stage three
times a night. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
It is rough.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
It's a rough life.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
So most people don't make it.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
They don't and you gotta respect it. That's why the
motherfuckers that come up in that game. I got a
high respect for those guys. That's why I don't I
would never shit on them or take nothing that they
do for granted. Because it's It's definitely a difficult job.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
It's very similar to the rap game. Man, there's like
zero glory, there's zero money until like.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
You win a lot of you gotta pay your fucking dues,
you know what I'm saying. And if anybody know about
paying their dues and anything, and it's me good lord,
but you know what I'm saying. It is what it is.
Crack no more. By the way, I don't know what
it's keep going on.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Selling crack. By the way, do people still smoke crack?
I feel like fetnaus.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
I mean, yeah, there's still some pockets of cracked.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
I don't think in La there's any pockets of crack.
Maybe there is that I feel like there's We were
downtown last week, me and Spencer for the Burner shit

they made crack to take the black community out, you
know what I mean. Really to be honest, and that
fittan al is taking everybody out, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
For people, the biggest misconception about me. I don't know
if people think I'm mean or hard to approach. I
think that could be probably the I mean, don't don't
start coming up to me and ship right, you know what.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
I'm But yeah, I'm not hard to approach, but don't.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Fuck with me though. But I don't know, I don't
think that. I don't know that could be it. Or
you know, a lot of people probably take my jokes
and stuff that I, you know, project out there a
little more serious than I do. You know, they probably
think that I'm being more serious than I really am.
I really don't give a fuck. I just be playing.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
I say, you're back to posting brain rot posting on
the main feed, Yeah, which is dangerous for you because
I got bored.

I don't even care because you've had, like, I don't know,
fifty burner accounts in which.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Just having fun. I don't think that I'm I really
invented the way people use their Instagram story. Yeah, people
ain't gonna get me credit for that, but I invented that,
you know what I mean. And because when it comes
to like putting bullshit, it's it's thousands of like pages
dedicated to shit like that now, but back in when
it was that like twenty nineteen eighteen. Yeah, I'm the

(56:58):
one that really invented that. So now I just you know,
I you know, I keep it a little more PG
little family, but I still post, you know, some bullsh
here and there.

smoking crack, maybe that made it tear you.

Speaker 2 (57:45):

Speaker 1 (59:20):
On a holiday and fuck with a shroom like in
Vegas or something like that. Yeah, birthday, you know what
I mean.

I tell the story that the worst night of my
life was shroming with you in Texas. Yeah, Yeah, that
I was fucked. That was amazing, And we ended up
with a Yellow Rose, that wash, the Yellow Rose, Red Rose,
Yellow Rolls, take a pic, Take the Red. The Red's
the best one. The Red's got more of my speed
of ethnicity. Yeah, Yellow Rose. If you like white women
in Yellow Rose. Yeah, well, shit, man, the movie's out.

(59:52):
I'm assuming like, since it's an independent movie, have you
guys already figured out the streaming side of.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
It, like where it's gonna I don't know exactly. That's
you know, that's more of a Ryan Prowse question, but uh,
it's gonna be streaming for sure if it's in theaters,
and you know, you'll be able to get it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
You know, at least on Prime.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Yeah, definitely, definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
You know, like do you get updates on like because
you guys aren't in that many theaters, So do you
get like any sort of update on like how the
movie's doing?

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Is that? Like? Nah, I just kind of just gauge
it off. You know. It's kind of like I do
with music, because you know, the people talking about it,
people talking to me about it. You know, I just
gauge it off that, you know what I mean? And
you know, if my fans you know, supported me, and
and if some of them, if half of them support
the movie. I mean I can't ask for you know

(01:00:39):
more than that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Man, You've been nominated for a Grammy?

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Is your next goal to be nominated for an Oscar?
Maybe for a Golden Globe?

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Hopefully. I just saw Tianna Taylor win a Golden Globe
and that was very watch that movie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
That ship was crazy. Watched it, Oh, Shan, it's fucking
wild and that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
He was he was Yeah, he was crazy. He was
crazy in that ship. So yeah, that was real inspiring.
You know, whatever ward they want to give me, you
know what I mean, Like, you know, Grammy whatever, I
don't even matter.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Do you still like obviously being nominated matters. I feel
like you got snub dish this last one pretty pretty wildly,
to be honest. Does that is that that kind of
shit bother you? Or is that ship you still care about?
Like it would be nice to have that on the mantle.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
I'll say this, Uh, for me to sit up and say, oh,
you don't do it for you know, accolades and awards,
you know what I mean, that would kind of be
you know, a fake answer. I mean, of course, anybody
wants to be recognized by their peers and you know,

(01:01:51):
and by the people of the industry for the work
you've done. But when I'm not, I don't, uh you know,
I ain't gonna cry about it or or or trip.
I just you know, add that as you know, some
more fuel to the fire, and you know, to keep
doing what I'm doing. You know what I mean. I

(01:02:12):
don't gotta I don't gotta spell it out, man, you know,
I don't gotta fake it. I don't need you know,
I don't need nobody to pin the tale on the
motherfucking donkey r like I you know, I everybody knows
I had the best you know, or one of the
best rap albums of last year. I mean, like the
proof is in the fucking pudding. Like you said, I'm

(01:02:33):
selling hard tickets, you know what I mean. The shows
is packed every night, the merchandise is are doing extremely well.
So it's all about the you know what I mean,
Like who's making an impact? Because you know, it's a
lot of albums that got nominated ahead of mine, But uh,

(01:02:56):
whose album we're gonna remember five years from now? Fact
you feel me and I'm not, you know, And that's
not a slight to anybody in this year's category, because
you know, I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Fel incredible deserving albums.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Everybody, everybody there deserves it, you know what I mean.
But uh, you know, if I'm not nominated, then U
I'm definitely at least going to be remembered. And I
end this by saying this when I did get nominated,

(01:03:30):
and then when it didn't matter, because I mean, my
album is more memorable than an album that one it,
so what does it matter? And there you go, Fellas, Yeah,
I agree, I agree. I mean they called minoclassic. I

(01:03:51):
don't think they called that one a classic.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Yeah. I think this year there was like three four
