Obviously, speaking about the family early on, how was that like moving around because you go everywhere with your family, which is honorable and so possible. As times, though, especially being an entertainer, it's got to be a little bit up aheadache a little bit hard to maneuver there about it? Now? Well, yeah it is now, but it wasn't as much when I, uh two child, three kids. Once we got past three. Now it's like it's scientiarize. Yeah, yeah, now we need more help. But because I ain't have no foreknowledge of how to maneuver in the industry, it wasn't really nothing to me because I really love being with my people, and I don't I. Can't stress this enough. I really don't like being around niggas like that, especially people who not like you know what I'm saying. I really don't like that. So I really feel good when I go out to places and I'm you know what I'm saying with my family, and I ain't bring nobody here because I knew it. You know what I'm saying, It's gonna be some real you know what I'm saying, fat fact, This ain't fat environment. Yeah, my wife don't really be on she'd be like I said. I showed her like two clips it was really be here and that really. Am I love I show you say supposed to. What was it I showed up clause that this nigga was talking about. The w n B a. I thought you was about to say, you. Better not say that ship because that's right. The other one he showed her talk about that basketball clipp and we teacher so how to drive them? I couldn't do. I ain't talking to the rest of the show. Come on, so pocket y'all legendary, come on for sure. I wanted to ask you if it's gona jump around a little bit, how did you get transformers Nigga? Nah no, no, this is crazy. Bro was Transformers brouh And then so when they hit me at first when they was like you want being transformed, I thought I was gonna be like, oh yeah, look ow snap, Nigga's a Transformer. And then but I was cool with it because I'm like, man, I aint never did nothing ever in my life. I don't got to know I am dB. Well, however you say it, I don't have it. I ain't never had that or nothing like that. But the director of the film, the director of the film, Stephen Caple Jr. His best friend was a huge fan of my music, and right before they started shooting the films. And he and he. Reached out to Paramount on my behalf, well not on my behalf were really and told them to like, hey, I really want Toby to play the role of the character who like embodied. His best friend in the film. So when they reached out to me, I thought it was like, how do I explain it? I thought niggas was pranking me in my email because no, no, because like in my email you'll get stuff. From like I don't know whoever Pike. I don't want to say no name, but like whatever big name, and then it'll say like such and such big name at Yahoo, and it's like, my nigga, I know watching McCall ain't got no Yahoo passed worth. I was like, no, y'all. So I got the paramount stuff and I thought it was a joke. So when they sent the stuff and it was like, no, it's real. I had never did no audition or nothing before. And if we had a video or something in my audition, when I tell you top tier trash, no, I'm talking about bruh terror. I didn't know what the hell I'm looking at on the phone. I'm looking at the lines. I'm recording myself and looking at the lines and I'm like sing And I just sent it in like that. I saw it like Bro, they ain't no way in hell they gonna really want me. I was just I just did what I could do. And when they hit me back, I was like, dangn that's crazy that they hit me back. But then they was like, this is like the height of the pan. So we had to go to Canada for like, uh two months in quarantine. But I was like, yeah, we just had a we just had my second child. And I was like, yeah, I'm just not really. I never wanted to be an actor, no way. So I was like, yeah, so if I come, I can't leave my wife and my two babies. So they gonna have to come quarantine with me. And when I when I sent the request, and I was like, are we for sure not gonna be able to get in no transformers? I ain't then see I ain't got no resume or nothing. But they was like we cool. So I was able to bring my wife, my kids and I ain't have to you know what I'm saying, be absentent or you know what I'm saying. Whatever they you know what I'm. Saying, I ain't have unders the real quarantine curl the radio for sure. That's a crazy pickup though. Bro was you like nervous like where you I. Was, because I ain't never did no acting like that in my life. So what people don't know about movies and what the hell I didn't know. It's not like a play or something like that or like a rap where you have to memorize the whole thing and go out there and just be like, you know what I'm saying, like Tom Cruise or nothing like that. So I didn't memorize the whole the whole packet like the sat That's all I got my reference for you know what I'm saying. That's the only real sense. Yeah, so I'm doing. I memorize everything. When we get out there and they're like, no, no, no, just these two lines, I'm like, nigga, you line, I swear the guy, So I start it. When I find out it's just two lines. Now I'm in that whole comfortable. I'm just I'm cooking this thing. So with my stuff, I do all the direction, the clothes, the costume, and the I write all the stuff. I got to do, produce the stuff, all the stuff. So when I got there, all I had to do was read them lines. So I'm in that whole feeling like be here. I ain't gonna lie. I'm in that whole feeling like you, feeling like this is all I gotta do. I'm doing the lines and I and I'm cooking, and then I'm going so crazy because I just I feel free that the I ain't gonna lie. The white people was like, yeah, bring that nigga back. No, no, no, They was like I was because I only had a couple of lines, but I was going so smooth that when they did the like before they put a movie out, they show like they tested with like smaller audiences. The smaller audiences was like, hey, where the one we're here? His best friend at that was doing all the all the line. Yeah, so they flew me. They asked me to come back and do some pickup shots or like add some shots to the scene. So I cancel my whole European I can so everything I had going on. I was like, nigga, ain't there been the Transformers? Yeah, but that's it. You want to break that down? So what was that transition? Like leaving the football field Defensive Player of the Year. Now we're tapping into this music. Lewis you know what's crazy? I really felt like I was really finn be African ray Lewis. Yeah, Bro, I really felt like that right, be careful. Uh. And then it's way worse with Nigerian parents. Nigga, you have no clue when you don't make it. Oh, nigg I thought I was Finna be African ray Lewis. I ain't get picked. I ain't get picked up by nobody in the draft. My mom was like, yeah, how how when were you stuck with in your life? Damn? Oh my bro? I would but when when when I was like they would put my name in the paper, like oh he could be drafted I'm talking about My mama was running as from me. You know my on this go into the bro nigga ain't making it was like when will you go get a job? I was like dang, dang, cold blood so yup. And then when I told her I wanted to start a nonprofit, it was yeah, bro, it's even worse. You know what what are we doing? Bro? Call my dad down? You know your son love supposed to I sent to get a job. Who wants to do nothing for plus e? Alight? Bro, it's crazy, it's crazy. So yeah, so when did you get out that fuck. Nigga was impressed for about a year, had to be I'm talking about I walk in the house on something like, hey, daddy, what's going on? Just from like, you know, just a long day of just trying to figure out what my purpose was. My dad was just like, you still don't have a job. And I'm like dann upon a rival. It's crazy, like Nigga ain't saying Hi, how was your day, none of that. Still don't have a Yeah. It was crazy. So it lasted for about a year. Then I started my nonprofit and was just going back to the high school trying to pour into the uh uh the students as best as I could with the gifts and little talents that I had. And then I was able to reach out to E T the motivational speaker uh yep every time, one million percent and c J e right hand man. C He the one who told me to do music. And because I was broke and I ain't had no friends with money, and them niggas was the only one that I knew was doing something legit. I was like, all right, cool, and I ain't have no foreknowledge of the industry, how to make no music, how to write no songs, do, no videos, none of that stuff. I just applied everything that I learned football. Come on to win that m v P. Go go. Now that's kind of crazy, though, I to even think about music for real and then be where you are now. I'm talking about the most idea with music before, before I really started doing it, the most I did with music was a freestyle in the cafeteria in the locker room. I didn't came down. I didn't came through. Come on, But niggas know, come on, stop playing class. If you're from the age, that's how you start off ninety five percent of your raps. So no, we're not from the age.

It's it's it's really all my all the things that that that have happened. I'm not gonna lie the stories really to me, even. When I'm when I said, the whole sound insane. It's just because I don't feel like. I don't feel like they inspiring like that, because it's like, yo, this is random as hell. With the Transformer stuff, they fly you out to promo to stuff. Now mind you, I'm not even really supposed to be on a promo tour like that with them, I wasn't really a main character. Today brought me back and start doing the extra scenes. So now I'm on a promo tour going to Singapore, London, uh chin. I don't know where else we went, but we when we was in London. I'm cool with Daniel Caluya. I don't even know how to hell that happen. That's the dude from Get Out Come and then he hit me up and told me to come through his crib to just higher at him. He had a couple of people over there, and I'm being in the UK like that, and it ain't a lot of niggas that I know in the UK like that. So I pulled up and when I pulled up, it was some random nigga just posted in the corner of his crib like in the kitchen when I walked through, and I walked through in a whole bunch of like Pierre Moss stuff, and he was like. The nigga name was g d. He was like hey. I was like, yeah, ast but I feel like yeah, because the nigga and. All the stuff that he that he do is fire. Yeah. I support any nigga who out here doing it in is live. So yeah, I'm like yeah. He was like, oh, that's that's live. He was like, man, I really fool with your stuff. I was like, man, appreciate it.

They probably would love to work with you. I'm gonna hit you back in like a week or so, put your number on my phone and I was like, this must be what just happened in the UK of Hollywood and song I said this nigga line. And then a week and a half they called me and was like, Yo, we would love to work with you. And that's how it happened. That's it. You know what's crazy? Come on, I like rebounds. For you. Sh I take these little fucking Georgians off writing. Come on, come on, I've been for sale everybody. If y'all watch, I wore Sketchers one day, I did one. You ain't wearing no motherfucker scratch.

Have you heard the tea tom? No? What's that? Don't worry about it? Then I don't worry about it. But but but look, while people be sleeping on sketches, I went to the to the like the Footwear Awards, which was crazy, but look, everybody was trying to clown Sketches when they won the like Environmental Award. But I looked up their numbers. Oh them boys getting two week No, no, no, I wasn't clowning. I was ready. They say that because he couse to he said what. They didn't want him because he cussed too much. That's where they said. I can see that. They said, my language is a little Yeah. I was like, damn, how can I go global? But told me tea time started one day. Hold on. He didn't asked about that Toby Tobby family, Come on bro. So they told her you was his head ten times. So it was a group. It was a group of studs on twitch and they all just had on. Hold on. They had on the hold on. They had on the jerseys with the switches, no drawings under the switches, switched up. Hold on. That ain't what happened, dang. Hold on they was somebody said they was wearing my jersey, Kevin, all of them. No, no, no, I. Don't know how it happened to we do a little streaming and shout to my nephew Mount freaking out for a little streaming. Okay, freaking out, y'all know, freaking out, y'all shout. Out, So freaking out is doing a little streaming. Some dude wrote on there and said I got a tea jersey on with no draw. I don't laugh, don't lie, and it went by a shouted Kevin love who you love. Epandemic, So I said, damn, that's what I said, and that fool over there said, nah, it's Kevin. It was I love who you love? On the scream they didn go crazy, that's what it's hard dismissed, and they talking about we having. A tigerwen halloweensween for sure. They buying that nigga jersey and I was like, that's as long as I can word. Come on, come on, come on, nah, hell blo nigga with the tea jersey and the reads it's crazy. Yeah, we're gonna do like that. That's hey, that's a player ship, right. How how long have you like as fashion always been a part of you though your whole life? Now, I was tacky for the first half of my life. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah, yeah, A nigga had to pull me to the side and say, hey, that ain't it big Dollar. You got. No Yeah, nigga was like, you really got you really got the juice. But the way you represent yourself, yeah, that ain't it. You got to like, hey, put it together. Do you remember what outfits you had on when that nigga probably had no listen listen, I do, don't laugh yet, I got you listen. Yeah, nigga probably had on one of them uh. Alicia keys for doors. I won't tell. You know, used to look like this outside my work clothes. Come on, stop playing with me, Stop playing with me, broy Yeah yeah, and then you know boys was yeah, the fitted, the fitted, the fitted shirts. You horny. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. Yeah you already lad. The horn dogness just went crazy more, they went crazy, but. Just running on her. I don't need some water, baby, that's no run, no run cool. This one's nasty, I think she said she was so excited to serve fat shout out a fan. Yeah, I appreciate the family shout out to yep, I ain't gonna lie. That nigga fat a bit like, Yeah that's nice. I like, but that's crazy. Fast forward. You know what I'm saying. Your homeie push you on game into where basically you got your own color past steal and like that's the standard. How's that like? Where everybody know that color is your color. Incredible now and uh. It really just it really kind of happened because like before the pandemic, A Nigga was just low key. If you go through like some of my older visuals, A. Nigga was just like testing colors out as I was doing it, and I was just trying to stay in a little monochromatic theme and I was just trying to figure out the best way to just present the stuff the way I wanted to. And when the pandemic hit. Right before the pandemic hit, we did a video at uh Museum of Fine Arts, the Rimsy location. Yep, they don't really let niggas in like that. That's why I ain't. Nobody clapped like that because we was late too. Yeah. Yeah, it was like, okay, they ain't never been there. I hadn't been there either. But once I did a couple of songs, then the niggas wanted to let me and they hold on and let somebody hear from the museum, yeah journey tell my truth. Yeah, they ain't really want to let me in like that. Then when I started then and I did a song with a couple of famous people, then they wanted to let me in. So when they let us in it do a video that they had a room that was all meant and I was like, this is when me and Fat were still in an apartment. I was like, Fat, when we get. A crib, I'm gonna do one room, this whole color, just because this this whole made me feel like like fresh. And then we got a crib right when the pandemic hit and we couldn't go outside, and I just started running all the videos through that crib and bought mint clothes and just wanted to make everything look a certain type of way. That's how it all happened. For real. Nigga be like, hey, what's the meaning behind that color. I'm like, yeah, I just liked it, and that's it. Thank you. It's definitely fire. Appreciate you. That's why them coming with me. Yeah, I tried to take him on, yeah for show for show. I'm a fan of basketball. Go ahead, what you saying? They always want to day make DJ clapp or so he said something crazy. He said, the crown baby, the craw baby is wild. Like so if you don't know DJ, I seen you. I know that one. I know that one. He was a breakdown. I don't know I didn't know that. Yeah, he's gonna put. The cardboard down and get crazy. So ever since we discovered that he was when the young Bloods drop, you don't give it damn, Like, now let me start. You got DJ fucked up? Hold on, But anyway, I forgot the. But you think what say make the twenty next time? No, but I wanted to say, but I've seen you work with my guy. I'm a Steph Curry fan. I got drafted the same you're Steph Curry. I've seen y'all got a video together, fire song, fire visuals. Like what was that liking? What was that like? Working with Steph Curry being a part of him being part of your video? What was that like? People don't understand about step Steph only do a few things, but the few things that he do, he do all he the way he do basketball is the way he do all them things. So look, so when he had to do the wrap for the video that we did, when we got to set, he was like, yeah, bro, I then went over my part like a honey times I said ni, But he approached all his stuff the exact same and whatever he not into. He don't even try to act like he into it. That's what I love. When I was when they when we had when they had all the outfits and stuff from the chows. He was just like, and which one you feel like it's going to be the best in the video? I was like, no, it's on you. He said, no, no, no, no, it's really on you because I don't care. And I was like, I'm my knee you Steph Curry. He like, yeah, I don't care, but whatever you want. And I just couldn't believe that nigga was that regular. And it's like and he's just he real cool people. Now he ain't no, you understand what I'm saying, But he don't like try to be you know what I'm saying. You know how most people, if they aint street Nigga, they're like, try to act tough or try. To act now. He don't even do none of that. It's like he a real, like nice guy. Just the fact, you know what I'm saying. I was like a great guy. A story about Steph Curry. Come on, I'm Steph. Curry was one of my friends and we was all Americans, all Americans together when I was in college and. I at nineteen years old, Jeff t. I was like burned. And he wasn't like that. He told me straight up, I got a girlfriend. And I said, we're going to the club. It's me and James Harden. Shout to j I said, me and James Harden, we was ready go to the club. And we were going to the club and we were going to we were clubbing. Come on, and he said, nah, team, I got a girl and I don't want to go. I said, what the fuck? Because y'all, I. Think he was the most famous out of all of it. It was Blake Griffin. It was him, Blake Griffin. Then it was James Harden and I was with the rest of us, you know what, I come on And he was like, nah, I'm cool man, I like my girl. And I said, he don't know how this's about to go. But see them still together doing nothing? Man? Yeah, I said, boy, you a solid man. Come on, bro, Like I wasn't you know who else like that? Who? Calvin Johnson? Damn bro let me mega tron bro. I did uh. I did the shop with Calvin Johnson. And when he was talking, I was like, br he ain't have no Super Struggle story or nothing. And I was like, see this what niggas need to hear. He was like, yeah, my mom worked hard, my dad worked hard. I made good decisions. I was like, yep, I need all my sons to watch you. Yeah. Because he was like, the hood gonna look at my man like that's kind of that. Nigga was at the camp saying listen, bro talking to his talking to all the kids at this camp. He was like, hey, listen, six six ran four four four three. I'm an anomaly. The majority y'all ain't gonna never be able to do what I'm doing. Read your book books. No. But but Ricky Williams there, Uh what's buddy, And went to Michigan that was up for the Heisman wide receiver. Tarle Lewison, Braylan Edwards, all. The top Tory Hold everybody that He like, hey, listen, read your books. You're probably not gonna be like us. I said, see that's what. That's what I I didn't need to here because I really I was gonna make it. But a lot of niggas on my team, niggas on my team didn't need to hear that. Yeah. I probably needed to hear that. Yeah, But he one of those dudes who got just a solid dude, make good decisions, and I feel like that's what we need. A lot more. I wanted to ask what that feeling like when you get that Grammy nod Man make some noise, niggas. Yep, I felt like that was fake too. I thought they was I ain't gonna lie. I felt like they were lying about that too. And even though I tried my hardest with all the stuff that I do, when they said that, because you got under saying I'm not with no label, I ain't do no like live being for it or nothing like that. So when they told me I got nominated for Best New Artists, I was just like, dang, yeah, they should have never let me be this successful by myself, brother ya. And then I'm with y'all, with my with my people, and I did it the way that I wanted to. So now I just really feel like, yep, a lot of people can't tell me nothing about nothing that I'm doing. Bro, I feel like I live in immaculate life, nigga, I'm not lying to you. Use your own lame bro. Thank you feminine. Now I want to ask you this though I know you're doing ship though look cool. Come on. Don't say I'm not not I got you, But I'm saying, like, do you ever think it's anything or do you think you will ever join the label? Or is that just not this the thing? Bruh Because I'm independent, Niggas be thinking I'm like against being with a label and I'm not. We asked me should should I be with a label? Should they be with a label? And I'm like, yeah, you probably should because if you try to do what I'm doing the way I'm doing it, the majority of people would die. They take a whole lot I did. I like, really, bro I direct all of the direction, the writing, the producing, the clothes, the it's a lot. The majority of people who do music don't really do that. They got they got the specific talent is making the music, but outside of making the music, they needed they got a team of people that could come in. And I would have had a team too if I had some money, No sure, yeah, But I had no money, so I had to tap into all my gifts. But I just wanted to ask cut you off. But I know a lot of people just always just want to go to independent route. They don't want to share, no money, or they don't understand the logistics behind what it costs to being Brodent. Let me tell you something. After I spent all the money that I spent making them like a videos, Yeah, Bro, I was like, what they offer you like us, It's cool, It's cool, it's cool. I just wanting people to give, like when they come on our platform and we want them to give like real game. No, if it made sense for me and what they was offering could cover something that it was resources and it could help with what it is and I'm doing, I would partner with a label and do something. Now I'm not coming in like somebody who hasn't built nothing, who just has a talent and stuff like that. So I know I have leverage in my situation and my situation ain't gonna be like everybody else situations. But I wouldn't necessarily do it like that early on in my career because I'm a real practical person. It just ain't makee sense doing But yeah, yeah, it just depends on what. It depends on what kind of goals you got, Like my goals have always been to go be global. Yeah, so I've amassed a certain amount of whatever it is that I was trying to do in the States. But yeah, I'm trying to go Yeah, yeah, I just seen a lot for sure. Ye that's so for sure.

This is second hometown. Gover here. What you left at six months? I left at six months, came back at nine, left at twelve months, and then I came back at twenty seven. You just keep leaving ship I'm in and out. Yo. Yeah, it's crazy. Welcome back, nah for sure. Man, we appreciate you for pulling up on this. Man. Take time out so good. I wouldn't doing nothing. I'll just be at the house. I did my burger ship for today, so I ain't doing shit. No. We we had some burgers in the back. I ain't gonna lie the fuck slapping them. I had a burger with you know. Yeah, I smacked that motherfucker. That's what I'm talking about. Now. We had the address his request from you. You know what I'm saying. Obviously he put in his order, but it was a little too crazy, you know what I'm saying. We had to make sure that was a little not too flagrant for your lik You know what I'm saying. The butter to bunk, I just I just I just like buttered buns on the burger that. You go with that. Yo. Yoot a post now because because I seen the little clip. But he's like, yo, I just want to make sure my buns is But I'm like, man, what kind of doe that boy? Boy? Don't do me like that. You know when you put that me like that? You know when you got that motherfucking We put that motherfucker butter down and slapped that motherfucker bun down for ten seconds of Pulley mo off. It's just the way you phrased him. I got you. What's what I'm supposed to say? You talk for a living. You should have known a better way to get that butter the bread? Yeah, sure, respect. You know what's crazy? Yoj he's a cater, you know what I'm saying. My boy really get like that in the Kischener. So he should have known the terminology. That was the problem. Now if you home, you know we don't be buttering. No, but. A out of township, no for sure. Man, we I don't want to jump too far ahead. We're gonna get into it, but like I do want to ask, like how was that jumping into this like food industry? It was. It was wild at the beginning because a lot of people thought this was like my burger that I created it. But it was a friend of mine approached me. He was like, man, I got this burger I'm trying to do I can't do it in La because smash Burger is already jumping in LA. So I want to try to catch it. And tex it. So I was like, yeah, whatever, So I pulled up. I tried the burger. The burger had like caramelized onions and pickles, and I don't eat that shit, so but I hated to see if it was good. And the ship was actually really, really good. And I remember coming home to my wife and like, hey, I just tried this burger. It's the best burger in the world. She's like, what's on it? I'm like, shit, meat, cheese, onions, pickles. She said, you ain't eat that shit. You don't even eat that shit. You hate onions. How you gonna tell me that? If she said, wait a minute, just onions and pickles, I said, yeah, ain't no lettuce, ain't no tomatoes. She's like, what kind of burger is that? What the fuck is that? I'm like, you're gonna have to try it. And then after she tried and she understood what was going on, and then she got behind it and we just been mashing. And I thank everybody in the city for really jumping behind this burger. Fu me, you know what I'm saying. Because y'all pulled up talking well better spots, shouts to my boys, all stars, boring grill in the nafil y'all had them slapping out their lun so ye that was a great sure. That was crazy because they literally the reason we had to go to his ball was because they banned everybody in the city. So typically when All Stars and Super Bowls come to the city, they have a certain area downtown where everybody go and come down and you know, enjoy all the festivities, and around that area you can not allow to sell food outside a lot of cities, they make it like a clean zone so people don't leave trash on the street and ship like that. So we paid a bunch of money, and you know, we had paid for the rights to put the All Star logo on the on the food truck and all of that, and then as soon as we set up, they're like, yeah, y'all can't sell food here. So we kept trying to figure out somewhere and then that bar he was like, hey, y'all come cooking my ship. So we went cook through his ship. The city came out. It was dope. Yeah, that's my old head man. People was in the city for show. I'm probably his old head I'm everybody at this point now for sure. Listen man. One thing on this tool we wanted to do is bring that town to us. I mean, excuse me, y'all, but you know what I'm saying. You got a lot of times in uptown. You'd have been there a couple of times that show you a lot of love. We'll show experience men like in the city. I used to go out there and rock with Stack So you know it used to be wild trying to calm Stack five down because in Indiapolis didn't really have. A lot to do, so they kept going to this hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, osten. I'm talking about for a Stack five like that. I don't mean it, you know, because I've been going this stand. I've been going and getting money Indianapolis for thirty years. What I'm saying it for a young Stack five. They didn't have enough to hold him. So you know, it's not a lot of it's not a lot of light life available to black people. So he going to the same club every weekend all the time. That's the and then southa Kosher shouts the clown nine shout the sun said, hey, you fan, your fan, your fan, somebody know where we be going to set a stick. Of the light's coming on. I can't see you. I don't worry about old ship. Don't turn the lights on. Some said we gonna keep that look get that deal. But then Stack used to always, you know, act like Stacks or eventually he ended up getting into it with somebody. I'll there. That was always the thing, because that ain't no joke. Like I've been in that Minnapolis A lot niggas do not play, and y'all, it'd always be the same every time I go, it'd be the same one club. A new nigga just bought it and try to put money into it. And then they come and they fuck this club up and tear sh it up, and y'all's my uncle, dere. Uncle. How they do it is it's the same club. We just remixed the name. You know. It's a dope ass club. Like it's a big ass club, like y'all staged by big at this stage, that's what. And I ven you bigger than this. It's nice ass club. And y'all just don't get tired of tear that bitch up inside the parking lot. Everything. So we went to a couple of know what's funny about this? Because the host of the club is right there. This is the reason he's literally at every retweet. You ain't have to bring your vents here, no, for sure. Now listen, I wanted to ask you. Obviously this show we love shoes too much and you are the man when it comes to foot where sneaker is. Obviously you know what she got on right now. I wanted to ask you, what was that first moment like where you were able to design your own sneaker. That came through Jordan Brand and I got Richie Saunders when they reached out. We had all started that year and I had been rocking with Chris Paul for a long time and it was real cool. And they asked me if I wanted to design his practice you and I was like, yeah, let's do it. So they flew me out to the LA to the house and I went sat down with Chris and I went through his closet and they showed me everything that they make for this dude, Like most people don't know. Every time every time Chris Paul went to a different team, they made him like a Joy three and the Jordan of loven in his colorway when they didn't know what team he was going to They just did like folk colorways for every team they thought was gonna take it. So I went in his closet and he had all these goddamn shoes that never came out. He was like, what size you. I'm like, I'm ten and a half. He's like, damn, I'm a twelve. I was like, that's what I meant. My bad, my tongue be tripping sometimes. But we sat down, we designed the shoe, and I remember they seeded it to a lot of different people that week. Ind and Kevin Hart actually water shoe in the Celebrity All Star and one MVP in my shoes that's fyea. That shit was different. You know, you gotta understand, like you look at twenty twenty five and I'm glad you brought up sneakers because I don't know any other city that has more people with their own sneaker that's not athletes like Megan had Nikes. Travis been dropping Jordan's and Nikes for several years. Told he got his Reebok, I got less season rapper from here at Elie Dollar, he got doll the Baby. Yeah, he got his d is dropping. He just showed his friends and family shoe. I made Jordan's like we we you know, he used to make some noise out here, like for real. Shout okay, first, Paul closet, pauls you know what I'm saying, Yeah, get on his ass. Y'all got one long time, y'all got one more time. I ain't gonna put this one on my boy shouts about dog Chris. I don't want this to be what I'm getting. I just wanted to look at the shoes like you, just to look at the shoes and shout to him. He had obviously with Jordan's brown he got every Jordan you could think of in color ways that we can never imagine. But I don't like how DJ delivered that. It was crazy. That sounds crazy. We're walking the thin line up here, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, it's not about me. We gotta let here get the funk off. That my fault. You know, this the first time I I've been in here and they don't smell like weed. You know what I'm saying. I'm saying up here, I don't know who's smoking our death. You ain't smoke with me. Niggas, don't get lid shaid man. He said, we need here. Yeah, I got that Indiana wing. I money passed burning the Joy earlier the show and we have not seen him since, so maybe it is. Good Vernon that passed out. It's camp still live. We get everybody clean up here, everybody on probation or some ship out here. I'm good this ship going down Indiana. Shout out to Mark said. You. Up. I gotta light and show me something. Yeah, you're talking that ship. Show me something. You want this white niggas that been he lied, so he wants to be like, you know, I don't go out nig. So I wanted to ask you, what's the difference that you've seen in the city. Obviously you helped build this city. What's it ight now driving through the city and the evolution of the city. It's paper like, that's the thing. I see so much money coming into Houston. I see so much money being made in the city. And as an artist, this is the best opportunity ever that any artist has ever had to make money in this game. Because you used to have to go through like a record store, you used to have to be signed to a record company, you used to have to play on the radio, and people have to go in and buy your whole album. Now people can you can get famous on one song. You ain't even have to drop an album. You can make one fucking record, make a couple of million dollars and go sit home somewhere and chilling for to make money off of what they do because it used to be hard as shit. So I love seeing that and everybody around here riding good. Everybody got you know, big houses and shit. You know, your money go a long way in Houston if you do it right. And uh, I mean we just I mean we really eating right now. It's really crazy. The producers, the rappers, everybody, they understand the business because that's what we really wanted people to understand the business of the game. Like making music, that's. The easy part. Most people can make a decent song. But figuring out how to make money off that shit is the real thing because the game is set up for everybody to make money off of it. But you so you got to decide whether you want to be famous or be rich, because sometimes you can't be both. That's the fact. What was that marketing tool that you used though when you started with your music, Like I know, it's way different, Like you could just go viral, like you said off one song. What strategies is y'all use to get your music to the streets or even to a bigger platform. Shit being in the streets, like being outside where everybody be at, you know what I'm saying, going to the club, putting flies on the car, you know, passing our snippets and shit asking people to buy her regular. We had to go hand in hand to get this shit early because we ain't know nobody in New York, We ain't know nobody in Los Angeles. If you couldn't get. To Jay Prince and get a deal with Rapize, you was out here trying to get it, you know what I'm saying. But because of that, everybody had to understand the business to make the money. So when New York and LA found out that we was jamming and wanted to sign deals, most of us wouldn't even sign because they was they weren't offering no real money. They'd be like, well, we'll give you two million dollars. The nigga likes filming, be like, we just made two million dollars, really doing for me. So that's why a lot of us showed to stay independent. But when we did, we didn't go in as artists. We went in as companies. So instead of just giving me a record deal, now we got to do a joint venture or something, because I'm bringing money to the table. The reality is most most people went to a record company because they didn't have enough money to do it theyself. I'm one of them, you know what I'm saying. We did an independent, but we wanted a bigger a bigger portion of an exposure, so we ended up signing with a label. But nowadays, you don't have to sign with no fucking body. If you got some power, you got a little paper, and you don't need a lot of paper. Really, you buy a laptop, that shit got a little mini studio in it. I tell people you go online on YouTube. Motherfucker's giving beats away just to be on on somebody's album because they know doubt to bring more paper. So you really ain't got. No excuse to not put your music out. But it's gonna be on you whether or not you make money off your music. Can I ask you? Because it's like, do you still I know you a legend? Like you are Realifer, You're the most legendary person we had on the pile. But it's like, you'll Mexic, you ain't gonna hair man Max. But I'm saying, we broab out that wave kept on with my nigga. Yeah said he was outside tonight, so I'm gonna call we live here. But as as an artist, he probably the most legendary artist we had on the show. That makes a noise? Got damn. Yeah makes a noise, Barbie. When I'm talking to your ans and walk out here, God perspect yeah, Barbarie. But I'm saying, like, you you a legend, and we obviously we expect you and we love you whatever, and that's all good. But I'm saying, like, how is that like being a superstar legend when it comes to that experience being in Houston, Like, I don't know how to feel, and I'm trying to see how it feel for you, like to come out here. Obviously the fans love you or whatever, but it's like, how is that it's different than Houston. I go everywhere and I see how cities treat their artists, and it's really it tripped me out because once you like get ten fifteen years in the game, they really don't fuck with you like that in these other cities. But in Houston, they give us love every time we show up, you know what I'm saying, every time we pull up from. Y'all, and we don't. I don't think we have that the people do because most people see me in the city. You catch me in HGB, you might catch me in the galleria. You know what I'm saying. It's me at cost Co and some shit I be outside amongst the people. Ain't nobody trying to hurt me. In Houston. I'm everybody uncle for the most part, you know what I'm saying. And that's how it is. Pap, you know, Slim is your cousin Paul, while your white homeboy from school, you know. But we don't have that separation from people, you know what I'm saying, because Houston, somebody gonna bump into you. You can't hide from people here. And the big ass city like New York, maybe you can get around and people don't really see maybe La Atlanta or whatever. But in Houston, somebody gonna see pumping gas or something like that. And it don't make no sense for you to act like you all that because the nigga might just pull up on and be like, Hey, what's up bea and I try to high sight on that whole ass nigga. I A bout your bird type, Like Houston a real, a real city, and I love the fact that I don't have to walk around with four five niggas so people can't come up to me. Because everybody want to show love. That's all they want to do is show love, not smell the weed. Job well job that motherfucks like K two. But anyway, everybody that motherfuck's some game. This mother fuck K two. Y'all pull that mother a week a little bit, fam Goddamn. I said I was with pull up on we got that. He tripped out about it in the Annapolis Nigga trip out for Houston from why y'all always put me in y'all boys, I'm just trying to be up to be cool. So I want to ask you this question. I know, for us in Indianapolis, there was a time where like Houston music really really took over the city. Our DJ specialized crew stuff like that as well. I want to say, like that O two to like. Six o seven area y'all had, every artist in the city was mainstream going crazy. Obviously, you and pimp already going crazy. You had slim thug powwold Coamellionaire. What was that era like in the city. Obviously it's still popping, the throbbing, but it seemed at that moment everything just clicked. We were wanting to have fun. We was the niggas that looked like they was having fun at that time. Some niggas looked like they was acting. Hard, like they had a bunch of money, like they was tough, they got a bunch of whole. We looked like we were having fun. We usually these big ass Cadillacs riding around with them big. Ass style pham cups, you know what I'm saying, smoking them swishing sweets, you know what I'm saying, Riding around the city, chopping screw, popping trunk, you know what I'm saying. And we looked like we was having a good time. And in twenty twenty five, this way everybody ever since then, this way everybody want to be. Everything that's popular in music come from Houston one way or another. You know what I'm saying. This way everybody want to come and have a good time because we're doing us. We're not trying to act like nobody else. We got the baddest bitches for show. Hold on what I'm saying, whoa show that's the showy. Y'all wouldn't be coming from y'all, wouldn't be coming from my animate to go to camp and the dome. And I do want to hear that if y'all coming from all written calls and y'all want just saying them all that purple. I couldn't even go get no purple for this show because y'all was in the mall getting the purple, looking for the purple. I love, we love purple the game, but we know what we got it. We got some real niggas in. I tell you know that I'm trying to hate on nobody. Let you get your action. If you got motion, do what you're gonna do. You know what I'm saying. We're gonna all turned up together. I ain't gonna lie y'all, ma all lit all crap up. My guy had purple. Shout out to the purple. This is a sweatsuit. I ain't paper gone. Y'all know. See, were looking out for you, cutting for you, putting some clothes on your back, good food in your stomach. Hey, the best city of the world. Brother in the back, free sweatsuit, Lord, I ain't like you, all right, yeah, lest that the world. Got a chase to what we do here. They can't stop. They cannot say even through COVID. Motherfucker's like, I'm leaving here. It's too shrink. I'm going to Houston out of pocket. That's not a pocket. No, I was out here. Let go. It has to stop. But hey, o G, that ain't good. I want to ask you, well, ship ain't stopped. But that ain't good. Motherfuckers out here stick his head or you. Yeah, like a ship stopped. Were good? They passing the hook at each other and singing the motherfucker. Everybody at the table got COVID. I wasn't asked when I was at Atlanta that want to stop eating? I wasn't no, Orlanta was lit, My house was lit. He got look let me throw the house. No, no, go ahead, be here, we're here. Yeah, I just lame. Man's nigga. Nigga nigga had a party at his house. Everybody walking through that motherfucker. You got these nurses putting the ship up. The people knows the whole time. It's the whole as Nigga plays the code aroil to the whole house listen. I ain't know kind it gave me COVID. I didn't know I had it. It was before the party. You know it take fourteen days. It was Keenan had gave it to me to day. Hey look him. I want to ask, though, it's like Houston responsible for Draggler. How did y'all like introduce yourself. How did you and Drake had that relationship? Oh? It was it was a jazz prince reached out to me. I was in the studio recording at the time. I'd been in all week, and he's like, man, I got this artist. I need you to funk with him. I need you to get on this song. And all week I was like, yeah, I'm gonna get to it. I'm gonna get to it. But I was in the middle of recording my album. I had some shit I needed to do for me. And then I was walking out the studio I'll never forget out. The door was open. I'm walking out that home and my phone rang and I looked and it was him, and I'm like, damn, you keep asking me for this song. And I've been doing jazz since he was like, you know, in middle school and he never asked me for that thing, always been a good person. And I was like, I can't do nephew like that. So I turned around, I went in and did the song, and then probably two weeks later he came here. But first he went to the end. He was at NYU and it was a whole crowd was women like, no dudes, and everybody singing word for word. Then he went to Atlanta and did the same thing, and he was even more women in that motherfucker. So I started showing everybody, like, y'all see this nigga. This niggas really blowing the fuck up. So while I'm showing it, my girl look like who is that? I was like, this is Drake. This is the dude I did the song with. She was like, oh, okay, what do it sound like. Y'all played the song. She's like, oh, we jamming, Well, we don't have to go check him out. So her and her friends went. We came here to the Warehouse live and the man went on stage and everybody singing the song. And I look at my gall and she looking at this nigga like she's supposed to look at me. I was like, I don't know if we ever really had a light skinned nigga like this nn rap music. Everybody of the job might be threatened right here, but he was cool. He was real down the earth man and consistently come back. You know, he bought his hall weekend in Houston. He did a lot for this city. He came in to turn this city up for a lot. You know, a lot of dancers made money, a lot of d boys, everybody day money. But the city was always wired up every time he came to town. And you know, I know people have mixed emotions about him right now. You know, I grew up in the ERAa where you you dance with who you came with, you leave with who you came with. I fuck with everybody. I don't have no problem with nobody. That's why, even though I'm friends with a lot of people that get drawn into a lot of situations, niggas don't bring me into their business, like you know what I'm saying. So and he's one of them, you know what I'm saying, Like he know I fuck with everybody that he don't fuck with, you know what I'm saying. And he don't really make a big deal out of it because I fuck with everybody. It'd be different if I was just like, whell, y'all fuck with you. But y'all, I like pushing to what I've been fucking with. Push. I've been fun come with mallet. What niggas got going on, ain't got nothing to do with me until somebody pulled me into it, you know what I'm saying. But you like the legend though, Like you know, if you beat with somebody, I'll be like, huh, I'd have to have a real good reason to be with somebody. I really don't be giving a funk what people do, Like I don't think people know that. Like I really, I really could care less what people be doing. I'll be at the crib with my gap. I got grand kids now. I can't be in the middle of the street with my shirt off my chest trying to box niggas. I ain't got time for that ship we did all that. Did you see that potition for him though, like when you met him, that he could be like one of the biggest in the world. No, No, Well, I knew the women run this shit, right the music getting sure that women run this shit. They buy the music to close they come to the show. So I knew he had the music side of it. But then he started really really rapping. And I think that Forever song was when he really started to shift and actually really rap. He not just a yelling nigga, you know what I'm saying. And he worked hard. The man work harder than most people. That's why he parted as hard as he do, you know what I'm saying. Because they put a lot of work in. People don't never see the work, you know. What I'm saying. They never see the time that people put in for their craft to try to really make an impact in this shit. And he wanted them people. Man, that's one thing people like him, Beyonce, even like a Cardi B. They outwork motherfuckers. Hard work will be talent when talent don't want to work hard every time. Like my old coach, you got well, so you your ass in there and give me twenty four at. I want to ask you this question. Obviously, man, you a legend to us, and you made some timeless Thomas music. I just want to through a couple of songs. I want to ask if you have any memories about them, how they came about first and foremost. I got to ask personally, Dominson Wood one of my favorite songs. When I get my school and I need to turn that deck on, I need to feel that vibe. What's the moment like when you make a song like that? Do you know instantly it's like that? Or does it after you get the reaction from the people. That was Pip wanted to try to make a song that felt like what a screw down song felt like. You know what I'm saying. It's the whole idea of Diamondson Wood is actually being in a car riding through the city listening to a screwtape. That's what the vibe of the song is supposed to feel like. You know what I'm saying. I flip through the app and I'm looking good banging screwed diamonds up against that wood. That song feel like what it feels like when you riding through your hood banging screw at night. You don't have to be in a big slab. It helped. It helped it be in a nice slab, you know what I'm saying. But then you gotta watch your back because people will kill you for the rims. They will kill you for the rims. So it's a it's a it's an amalgamation. I don't want to put no big ass words like that out there, but it's it's a mix of everything that we love about that lifestyle, but everything that you have to be careful and aware of at the same time. War already, I know you're a legend. You probably don't know about t Town. Hold on, I'm I'm gonna tell you about Tea Town. Come on, So Tea Time is something that happened on the internet. We were streaming, we were my nigga, we were streaming, and somebody literally was like on the stream, they like, y'all, I'm going Tea Time and teg Town basically was like, they're gonna wear my jersey with no draws. That's what the fuck y'all was talking about. When I want, I want to hear somebody said somebody nigga got a ten jersey. On with no draws. I was starting to turn around. I was like, I ain't signed up for this ship. W we ain't doing that. Listen, I hope you gotta escorted. I ain't on that type of time. So whoever out here with those draws I hope she beautiful. Hell, oh, it's women doing it. I hope, Lord, I hope studs with the motherfucker switches on. Listen here, why he always gotta do that ship respecting up? Bro? Look, he said, what y'all you said? What y'all got me mixed up in with these young niggas. Now and bring embrace the brand though. Bro, it's it's global Halloween about to be lit. Bro, It's gonna be lit. But I hope they ain't got the switches. Number one player there will be on tea time for Halloween. Yeah, it's called Tika ling that right now, he said, Tiga ling. That's wown balls, Broween. My nephew told me that's what it's tee laween Tiaga ling and some ship laid up. That's crazy. Out to my wife. We're now you one there with Bune on the stage though, I'm all watching the um h game for this ship. That's my wife, she called tiling. Lord. I dropped, y'all. Tell I'm gonna cut my porch light off on Halloween. No, for sure, for sure, I'm cutting myself because they come to my ship with that ship. I throw the egg at him, I told you when you're in the egg people come to your house with jerseys on with no draws. Man, it's on the way, it's on the way, Bud. Listen because he want to keep talking about it, Sugar, I don't up id been. If you shut the fuck up, you aren't laughing at be here because he is really more. I have been out of places and people. I've been out to eat just chilling. People come to me and was like, hey, I'm wearing no draws on Halloween. I'm like, I'm like, I hope your girl love you like here. I don't know. She got so bad on two K that no more playing two K right now? Got the T jersey on with no draws. That's a fact. How much more time we got to rub this ship up? I feel you buy. I don't want to keep talking to this nigga about no draws, like keep it moving? Why I say something? This ain't about him? Fuck him. I want to ask you though, like, how do you feel about like the music music industry where it's going right now? Do you think I think it's in a great place. I think it's in a great place because again, people get to make real money off of it. People get to pick and decide exactly what they want to fuck with. Because for a. Long time, record companies and push music down your throat, you know what I'm saying, Radio stations and push music down your throat. Pause and and they don't have to be like that, don't long Like y'all. Gonna go on the internet and look up, it's a thousand motherfuckers released the songs every day all around the world. And it might be something that you've been waiting to hear, or the way a motherfucker talking about something, and they'd be like, see, that's what I'm talking about, And you can fuck with that, and you can find a community of people that fuck with that, so you don't have to feel like outside and the only niggas. That's what the intering that does. It levels the playing field and give everybody the same opportunity. And I love it. Houston been taking advantage of it, you know what I'm saying, not just with the music, but social media. You know what I'm saying, Houston is doing a real good job of building their social media presence. People like Little Jeremy, people like Walker, you know what I'm saying. Even the new cast like Dot you know what I'm saying. They taking full advent for some motherfuckers. So from that point on, it's just about how heart you want to hustle for what you want, and Houston is really getting to it. What I do missed about y'all though, was the music videos like the Big Pimp and and shit like that. I think that's the nostalgia were missing, Like the money is definitely better, but that was a. Million dollar video, Like you ain't gonna see that type. It ain't nobody doing that but Taylor Swift and Motherfucker's Like hey, video. Was a music That video was the first video your verse on big hold On, I don't worry about y'all play big PI. Talk. I can't. Video the household like that was a hell already because even look, what's her name? What was it? What's it? What's that girl? That was on Joe Budden podcast? Yeah Lewis, Yeah, yeah, what's up? Glory of Eliz? Yeah some of the tal talent at was you a part of that like putting it together or did you just pull up and was like no. No, that's a Rockefeller record. So they put all that ship together. I just showed them just showed up, was like themn okay, But I was already married, so I couldn't. I was just now ship with your window dress. And it was like me with this, like we'll be out, we'd be out of town. I'm married a motherfler. My wife be with me all the time, so I ain't. My wife's on their cop the gate. She ain't like me like that ship. He won down a dark road telling you boys stories. Nigga Big People is a legend. Joe Audio what I'm saying, it's crazy though. We we shot that home in Trinidad. We shot at Trinidad of Tobago. We shot like three days. Him never showed up to the video, and yeah, he never got on the plane. He was in a hotel room with like four chicks and he was like because. That I really love it. So he never case it up. He never came. He never got on the plane and went overseas the video. Whole video was supposed to be shot overseas and he never got on the plane. So we had to go to Miami where he was to finish the video. Oh that is fire, so like like he bought the call for the video, so he bought the convertible bands for the video. They pulled up with me and Coach in the car. Turn it up, turns up. This is a live show. Get this ship together so they can play this goddamn song. Shout yeah, what are we doing. This? Yeah? Okay? One. Do you think like that's missing like in today's world though, that time and effort put into the music videos. No, I don't think it. I don't think it really matter in that sense because don't nobody really care about a lot of that ship. People just want to see you in your element. Yeah, that's why you see a lot of a lot more videos and people just in their neighborhoods. You know what I'm saying, People don't really care every video that it was it. I want to think Chief Keith was they shot every video at the house they did, you know what I'm saying, Like every single video in that apartment at the house that don't nobody care as long as the song with Jammi Feronito. We don't give a fuck what the video look like that and we didn't want. To blow New Jersey up like Noah, that's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. I think that. But that them being on like one O six in Park and shit like that. It was just a vibe for hunching ration. That's what I'll be trying to tell myself. Y'all don't understand how importantly Scott, even from the producer standpoint, like Scott storaging them, how important they Timberland, how important they was to the music industry, And. It was just it was different to see us included and a lot of the major shit happening because the soft you know, we kind of had to find our own way. But to be on a record with somebody like that, we had. The biggest budgets and all the exposure and all that type of shit, and we just showing up, you know, Texas niggas just like what it's whatever, you know what I'm saying. I remember we was the last song in Summer Jam one year we brought us out of Summer Jam. I was like, the fuck we end up with this motherfucker, Like you know what I'm saying. And we never had to change nothing. That was the beauty of what me and Pimp was able to achieve. We didn't have to change nothing about who we was to become who we became. Like we just kept it solid, kept a trial and people recognized it connected with it. You and Pimp grew up together, like how do you We made around middle school, like around seventh grade. Okay, that's He's one of the hardest to ever do it, Like for sum period. Period, There'll never be anybody like him. There's so many we would be the other people's. We'd be like. I give you example three two Rest in Peace two. Album and that album was jamming and the last song he played was One Day and he was like, yeah, but that's your song. I don't think I'm gonna drop it. This too slow and people like you crazy, that's the best fucking record you got and he was like, yeah, but niggas don't want to hear that. People was like, give me that, motherfucker, I'm gonna show you. And One Day still to this day, is a record that everybody's like. You know what I'm saying. He would have an inf for shit that niggas would have hit records they couldn't even recognize that they had or hit record. Pimp would have to tell them that type of shit, you know what I'm saying. He would give people beads. He to give people hooks. But more than anything, he gave people game, you know what I'm saying. He tried to, you know, let people recognize the talent and the power they had in themselves. Cause Pimp would talk like he could do anything, and he have you feeling like you could do any motherfucking thing too. And to be honest, it wasn't much that we didn't achieve just because of the fact of how much he believed in what we could do, you know what I'm saying. So all I did was just rid shotgun with my nigga, hold him down, and everything we dreamed of it eventually happened. Come on, all of the DJ pim C in the building. Ready, How was them studio sessions? Yeah? I need to know about them studio sessions which their legendary lived. The motivation was you? The motivation? How did y'all even call it to? Like? This song came out of the penitentiary. So Project Pat had an album, Yes, sir, they had a song. Called I Choose You that he rapped to this exact beat and it was pimp favorite ship while he was locked up. So we came home and we started working. We was in l at at at Paul House at Juice House. I'm sorry, and they playing beats for us, you know what I'm saying. We like, let's do some music them the Homeboys. We was actually working on an underground Mafia project at the time, so we was gonna put UGK and three six Mafia together and we was gonna be a and they were playing beats and pips. Say, man, I want to rap to that motherfucker pat had. They were like, what you're talking about that? I choose you that motherfucker, that Patrons rapper, So I want to wrap to that. That was a hit record. Y'all need to drop that hole again. They were like, man, that shit, old man, that's a hit right now, give me that motherfucker this in the second time, Like, give me that motherfucking beat. And that's what we actually made out of the motherfuckering song. Now. The crazy thing is the song had three six Mafia on the song, like there's a version of Player's Anthem where UGK and three six Mafia they had just won the Oscar they tried to renegotiate their record deal in the record company put them as a rap group on the on the bench, like y'all can't dropping it. We're not clearing nothing, but as producers, they deal with separate so we could still use they beat, but we had to take their voice off of it. So that's how they got off of it, and then Outcast eventually got on it separately. So like one Niggat got the song in La Andre got it in La Andres like, I like it. I want to rap to this if y'all ain't done. It was like, hell no, we ain't done because our kas wasn't even what group. At that time. So he's like, I want to rap to it, but I don't want no drums on my shit. And then Big Boy got it in Atlanta. He heard it. I want to rap to it, but I just want to rap to the drums. That's the kind of group they were, and neither one of them knew they was gonna be on the song together. Hold on, Hold on, y'all had I don't cast on the song that either one of them knew they was gonna be on the song. Now, they weren't working as a group, but as a group, they were signed to my label. They we was all on the same record label at the time, so once they found out they wasn't tripping about it or nothing. But Andre kept saying, I'm not doing no video. He was like, I'm gonna do this song, but I'm not doing no video. I'm not doing no video. So when we decided we really needed to do a video, I say, bro, just we're gonna do whatever you want to do. Tell us what kind of video we're gonna do. We're gonna show up. It's whole, your whole concept, your idea. So that's what happened. Can I tell you something, absolutely, I played that verse when I got married. Should have come, I would have pulled up No, youbota say. I wish I would another about it because the little that probably cost me a releg. I don't with you to work with you. So I probably knew about like that when I got married. That was when I walked out to I walked back to the hundred three thousand verse or whatever. But I'm saying, like that, that's something. Did you tell me that they didn't know that they was going to be a part of that. That's like amazing record. I'm glad they ended up agreeing to do it. You know what I'm saying. Andre was really acting at the time, so he was really on some different ship at the time, but we got a long relationship with us for a long time, and everybody had already agreed, like they had already wrapped on it, so it was like, fuck it, let's just do it. So they agreed to it, and then it's still one of the biggest records for me. I just did it from on the Leon and stunning from Vegas with that's like I popped up. I just showed up and did it. No hard. That's a lot that weekend's DJ. So you cleaned it up because you it wasn't my cousin, Nah, but you had pimping them to kill that ship for that was my after part that mother, this is the greatest DJ in the world right here, we bring Eddie in Napolis, the goddamn. Huge name through me, y'all. I ain't gonna lie the. Name of. Your brother he's named after that. That's amazing that he put the two e's on it to keep it separate. I like, no disrespect paw much. Were you doing your runs and show your tours? Do you perform pimp ship too? Yeah? Yeah, but allowed the crowd to be a part of the show. Yeah, because you know, I'm not telling the motherfucker that miss Pimp. We all miss Pimp, you know what I'm saying. And y'all been supporting me through, you know, through my journey with Pimp and then my journey after Pimp. Y'all ain't left me hanging. Y'all stuck with us. Y'all still love me. You definitely still love Pimp and said, we're not gonna act like he ain't still. Here, you know what I'm saying, Like we're gonna I celebrate them every show. You know, every show we do different songs at different time and just be like, you know, let's do another one for Pimp, right, quick turns up again? You know what I'm saying, because I don't want people to feel like I moved on and nothing like that. You know what I'm saying. I bringing with me everywhere I go. If I ever talked to your funky and public, I apologize that was that was a pimp in me that day. Can I ask you this, what do you like like recording a record? This? And you usually this is my nigger DJ question, But like you like performing the record or like recording the record? I'm glad you asked that because some people just want to make music. They like going in the studio, they like creating, and they don't really like the performing aspect of it because it involves being around people and everybody and for it. Like I remember Bobby Brown talked about it. Bobby Brown was like, we did just like to sing and perform, but she don't like the meet and greets and the people. She like put a heart. She let her heart speak for herself. Bobby, He's like, I want the people. I embraced the people. I know what the people do for me, So I like I like the performance side of it because I get to be with the people and enjoy the people company. I like both of them. Man, But I ain't gonna lie. Man. It ain't nothing like a good show, you know what I'm saying. A good concert where everybody come in, they already for the music. They've been drinking, they've been smoking, They look good, they feel good, got a couple. Of dollars in their pocket, they outside. You know what I'm saying. I'm an old nigga. So for me, if I get to go out, there's some babysitters and shit evolved, So we gotta we gotta put that in early, you know what I'm saying, two months early to have us a good time. But that's all we want to do, man, I just want to, you know, entertain motherfuckers. Some people buy the music, never go to a concert, you know what I'm saying. So I want to make sure, however you you fuck with me, that it's an experience that you enjoy and I did the right thing for you. The volume
