Speaker 5: If we don't know what this is like, this is not fans. It's in a very timid way. J legendary, JERMAINI pree. Look at what JD Bio said. Jamain Dupri is a Grammy winning producer, songwriter.

00:02:00
Speaker 4: And cultural I know he was a culture I just didn't know that about you, bro, whose influences shape the sound of modern ship with Jamaine dupri the fucking legend.

00:02:12
Speaker 6: How you feeling, bro, I'm good?

00:02:14
Speaker 5: Listen man, listen. I'm gonna be honest with you.

00:02:15
Speaker 4: I always admired your work ethic, but the last couple of months, I feel like I can't open my phone and not see you working, not see you in the studio. I know you got the Magic City thing you're doing? How you feel? Are you sleeping at.

00:02:27
Speaker 2: Old j D? A little bit? A little bit, a little bit?

00:02:30
Speaker 4: But you're working? Though you're working? How far so is the project where we at with it? Eighty?

00:02:35
Speaker 6: I got like ten songs. I don't know what I'm gonna stop though.

00:02:38
Speaker 5: Okay, it's one of those you just like.

00:02:39
Speaker 7: But because every time I make a song, I keep saying, oh, I can make something better than that, because I get to a space and I feel like I can make something better. So I gotta stop myself at some point. Yeah, I will just keep going.

00:02:51
Speaker 5: But I see you you and with people you with Aqim Ali.

00:02:54
Speaker 4: I love suase like you in there with people that we probably wouldn't think that you was going to work it.

00:03:00
Speaker 5: But is that is that purpose of.

00:03:03
Speaker 2: The goal?

00:03:03
Speaker 8: Is?

00:03:03
Speaker 7: I think like, as a producer, you know, and it's all right, you gotta do something to keep you fresh and keep you excited. That's probably why I can't sleep, because I'm working with you know, I'm getting a chance to work with people I ain't never worked with, So I don't know what they're gonna do, and I don't know how they're gonna feel when we get in the box. Like it ain't like a great relationship coming. It's like my first time going in there, so it's kind of like a date. Like you nervous a little bit, So I'm just working. I'm working with a lot of people that I mean, the whole album basically is the artists that I never did songs with.

00:03:32
Speaker 6: That's what that was my mindset to do it like that?

00:03:35
Speaker 4: Is that well because you just a legend and in every sense of the word, is that a way to kind of keep you motivated and refreshed like you got that new blood, new talent in the studio.

00:03:46
Speaker 6: I think it's for the people. I think it's for things for y'all.

00:03:48
Speaker 7: I think it's for everybody out there, like you know, people that probably like you know, they they never I'm sure people never thought they'd see you know. But I like I like him because he's a different flow and then left absolutely think he gets the light that he needed. Absolutely That's why I picked him.

00:04:06
Speaker 3: And you got to look at the producers that love him, like he has a whole project with James Blake.

00:04:10
Speaker 5: It's a special one.

00:04:12
Speaker 2: What it is.

00:04:13
Speaker 7: I just wanted to give people something different. I don't want people to be like, yo, they okay, it's already magic. See if you've been there letting, you've been in the back. See, you know exactly what to expect. But you ain't expecting me to do all these records with these artists. You know, people thought it was gonna be an album and it started off like that. I was just gonna all record and just get songs from people to do it like that. But I feel like that's just that's the old way, you know what I mean. And I don't think we've ever seen a producer do an album with his whole city only. I ain't putting nobody else on there but people from Atlanta.

00:04:40
Speaker 2: I love that fire.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: I mean, Division pretty much lives at your compound. And you guys made it official finally finally start paying rent at some point now they really did.

00:04:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, So how is it?

00:04:54
Speaker 4: How is it now that obviously as you have a relationship and y'all know each other pretty well. But how is it now that this official you and that underneath JD.

00:05:02
Speaker 7: I mean, I think it's just you know, just understanding. I think, like you know, I don't know. I don't know because I don't know the business behind what was happening with them before. I just know what I saw and then what I what I was able to be a part of and then to get an opportunity to be a part of it because it wasn't that wasn't even the works when we did the last album, like you know, them staying where they was at.

00:05:24
Speaker 6: I thought it was perfect for them.

00:05:26
Speaker 7: But when I, you know, got it heard what Oh wait a minute, y'all done?

00:05:31
Speaker 6: Come on, let's figure it out.

00:05:32
Speaker 7: So I just think that, you know, it was just timing because I didn't even have a deal like this at the time we did the last record. So for me to have my deal and then that you know, they deal be up, I think that's just God telling me that's a sign.

00:05:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a lot of talk on the timeline the past two days. Timberland announced that he signed his first AI artist and that he's.

00:05:57
Speaker 9: I love you, but I love you, but come on, the throw up Ai JD, Like I get it.

00:06:04
Speaker 2: The technology, the new era.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: No, but it's just certain producers that's just too legendary to touch that type of Like if I heard JD had an AI girls group coming out, I would text JD curse Mountain.

00:06:15
Speaker 3: Hang out even had a picture and everything of this, Like I mean, I get it, Jay, I get it, Like you know, it's we're in a new, whole new era the way we you know, communicating the technology.

00:06:25
Speaker 4: I get it, and I understand that it is part of the record making industry and the song making process with technology, but it's some things just out of bounds, like it's like we can't go that far.

00:06:36
Speaker 7: Yes, I had to look at it for a bunch of different ways. Like I got in that. I took a ride in the way Mark, I took a trip in the Raymark.

00:06:44
Speaker 5: I saw you post that I was on the time.

00:06:46
Speaker 7: I don't know, listen, it might be you know, like if you get in that car, it might be like only music for that car. Like I don't know what what is what his game is, I don't know what the whole thing is. But I'm just saying, like it's a world out there. I guess they might have to have music for that world. This our world, right, get walking around touching people like you just said, JD.

00:07:07
Speaker 6: They got you out working.

00:07:08
Speaker 7: I feel like you know that ain't this ain't for that that person or whatever that thing is for the AI character. I just feel like it might be a world out there that I'm not privy too.

00:07:18
Speaker 2: I don't think.

00:07:19
Speaker 7: I don't know, none of us are. Maybe that we don't know that you got to go into this virtual world. And they might got radio stations. I know, like somebody they asked me to do like Grand Theft Auto and they were saying, like Drake got his own radio stations on Grand Theft Auto. The way that they getting ready to do it is that Drake can actually upload music that we probably ain't never even heard online or whatever else on that video geah.

00:07:40
Speaker 6: So I'm just saying you got to think, but that's.

00:07:42
Speaker 5: A little different. Yeah, it's like a playlist for a video game.

00:07:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I'm saying it's still inside that game. Like you gotta get on you got to get on your thing that actually play the music. You can't get in the car and hear it, right, I mean you could if they take it. But I'm saying they're actually trying to make it where it's just like you got to get in the car that's on that grand Theft auto to hear these sound songs, right, So that's what I'm saying. So it's kind of like a if he does it, say if they got an AI radio station or something like that and you only hear the music over there.

00:08:09
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm just thinking, like I'm trying to make it cool way, So.

00:08:12
Speaker 9: Let me take the thumbs down back, is it because I thought you keep it?

00:08:16
Speaker 5: Do what I thought was it was an AI artist?

00:08:18
Speaker 2: It is? But I'm just I think.

00:08:21
Speaker 3: There is great stuff with AI can help a pro tools, like there is stuff with music. I think AI is very important and helping real artists. But when you go this far where it is something that's completely made up, and then also where do you draw the line?

00:08:33
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's the.

00:08:33
Speaker 7: Same thing as stream Like I think like when they start saying streaming and they stop telling you how many records people sol or they said like or this person stream and they sould blah blahlah blah.

00:08:45
Speaker 6: Selling and streaming is two different things.

00:08:47
Speaker 7: I think, Like if you're gonna have that conversation about streaming, Just say how many streams they got?

00:08:51
Speaker 6: Stop saying the.

00:08:52
Speaker 7: Streams equal this, because when you do that, then you're like, you're not talking about streaming no more. Now you're coming back into this this this world there. You know, these gn X people feel like it's the dinosaur era, right, So I'm saying the same thing. I feel like if they and I think that's where the mistake happened. I think he introduced this in a world that ain't even into aiah okay, right, So it's confusing to a lot of people. But if he introduced that at like a computer conference, all that makes sense to the situation.

00:09:20
Speaker 2: It makes people to be.

00:09:21
Speaker 7: Like, oh my god, right, that's what That's why. That's why I think the confused. I just think we gotta wait and see. I don't think you can introduce an AI artist.

00:09:31
Speaker 5: I find a way about you know what I'm saying.

00:09:34
Speaker 3: But do you think maybe it could put producers and artists at risk? Like for example, with the AI ship, they could take your whole catalog and upload it to this girl that is now Timberland's AI artist, and she can take all that information and spit it out in a different way where you wouldn't even it wouldn't be a sample, you wouldn't get any pub royalties.

00:09:51
Speaker 5: But they can literally just take a catalog.

00:09:53
Speaker 7: They're going to fix all that it ain't they ain't ready just slide like that, you know, Like I got the new song on me TI and the Turnaround record, and I try to upload yesterday the TikTok, and I guess because it's got a sample in it, they flagged me. This song ain't even out yet, So I don't think they on all that. They not get rid of that song.

00:10:11
Speaker 2: Ain't out yet and they flagged them for the sample.

00:10:13
Speaker 3: But even like you look at chat GBT, people like using that to create lyrics, there's no sample in that. Chat GBT just has all the information of the Internet. But it just makes them listen, say I say this. Hopefully it opens the door for people to have more jobs. People sit at their desk to try to figure out whatever they got to do. I just I just think that it's a different world. I think it's a world idea that we probably don't know about. Like I said, like I'm asking how to ask everybody about the way more than everybody, Like I.

00:10:39
Speaker 6: Don't know if I'm getting into it.

00:10:40
Speaker 7: They riding around here crazy, the one hundred different Like, ain't nobody jumping in them, but they out here, they moving, So that means like it's a bunch of you know, the urban community. We always be late with technology. I'm happy to see that he's doing it from that perspective.

00:10:56
Speaker 5: When you're the first one to do it, go get some flag.

00:10:59
Speaker 7: You're gonna get some f for That's why I stopped buying cars first because in atlanta't understand.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: That's a flex.

00:11:05
Speaker 5: That's why I got buying cars first, because they ain't understand.

00:11:09
Speaker 4: All right, So you got the the Social Depth billboard is back in Atlanta.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: You see it. I'm being that last night.

00:11:16
Speaker 4: I didn't see being meth last night, but when I saw you post that, I was happy to see that because it's nostalgia for somebody like me because I remember what it was and how crazy that was when you first put the billboard up years ago. And you also got the uh was it Social Death University? I think when you interned the kids.

00:11:32
Speaker 6: Intern well do the internship with Emery?

00:11:35
Speaker 7: Okay, Well I did it this this semester, and I'm gonna probably keep it going out it's cool for kids to come learn. And I think like just the word intern, I don't think people even understand what that is. Like if it was an intern here, you gotta know, pick up plug stuff and you gotta get you some car.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: Everybody, I don't think they understand that.

00:11:56
Speaker 7: So it was coming to the studio thinking they was getting ready rapped and all this, and we had to like, yeah, yeah, this is what interns do first. I mean, then you can get to doing what you gotta do. So I think that it's important that somebody, not just me, other people do this, you know what I mean.

00:12:10
Speaker 6: So I don't think.

00:12:11
Speaker 4: That the kids on that Rory or the or the young the young adults understand the type of person that they have access to.

00:12:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, what JD's doing with the internship, like.

00:12:19
Speaker 4: The intern for JD, it don't get much big or better.

00:12:25
Speaker 2: J meant you get to go in the studio.

00:12:30
Speaker 5: Like the game, like the that's what class was gonna be right today? Herbywhere the dog?

00:12:36
Speaker 7: You know, you gotta get that mop over there, you mean some snacks you know, blah blah. They was like what they got to take the trash over that? All that six months of that you don't see nobody do that in a long time. It feel like you're being mean to people. Now you learned.

00:12:54
Speaker 4: Now we were talking about the whole Joey Badass thing, and I remember meeting him in your studio.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: Oh damn, that's when you met him.

00:13:01
Speaker 4: That's the first time I ever met Joey, first time I ever met him. And I was telling people, I was like, I was so blown away because he was standing there in front of like JD if you've never been to studio, he got anything he's ever worked on the done but a thousand plaques all over the place. But Joey was standing in front of Bow Wow's plaque for about five minutes of staring at it.

00:13:20
Speaker 2: So I'm looking, I'm like, well, why he looking at BOO plaque like that?

00:13:22
Speaker 4: And he said, Yo, this was the album that inspired me to start rapping. And I tell people that, I'm like, I would have never guessed that Joey Badass's inspiration to rap came from bow.

00:13:35
Speaker 6: Now you say you've been watching my videos, you hear why I ain't say the same thing.

00:13:38
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that shit is crazy, Like it's crazy to me to hear these guys and I'm like, damn, like, nothing about Joey Badass, his music style, anything says bow Wow inspired me.

00:13:49
Speaker 2: First.

00:13:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, they just they was young though, and it was That's why, you know, that's another reason why I'm here today. It's a twenty fifth anniverse for BT, and one those six in part was a real you know, pivotal ever for just all kids rapping, all kids singing everything. So it's like and we was at the head. We was at the head of that absolutely, you know, and bow Wow was the person that they was paying.

00:14:11
Speaker 3: That's that's just the age gap, I think. Well, because that doesn't surprise me. I'm around the same age as Joeys, Like, yeah, that was.

00:14:17
Speaker 7: Like, I mean, you know, I've heard it, heard it a bunch of times, and I'll get tired of arguing about it, so be like, man, you know, I ain't get really I'm not even gonna do this because I'm saying, like it feels like people were like, you can't tell me you want if you was watching BT, ain't no way.

00:14:32
Speaker 2: In hell you can even deny it. Doubt.

00:14:34
Speaker 6: That's the thing.

00:14:35
Speaker 7: It was like kids like Joey Badass was coming home from school watching one O six apart that's just like a daily routine. And they also was standing in line trying to get in there to go to one those six a part. So you know, even when jay Z was on one o six apart performing Ja Rule whatever, and still when it got the number one for five miles.

00:14:54
Speaker 6: Straight, it was bow absolutely.

00:14:58
Speaker 5: Before we let you go? Is there a possibility of a three Stacks verse on this album?

00:15:03
Speaker 6: I mean, we've been talking about it.

00:15:05
Speaker 7: He running around Atlanta a lot, so I mean, you know, that's my man, so from from a childhood, so I'm gonna bump into him by you know, I'm not, don't you know. It's a lot of people out there that that that want to be on this record, and.

00:15:18
Speaker 6: You know, and I'm trying to make room for everybody.

00:15:22
Speaker 7: So I mean, if it don't happen, you know, I understand, I get it, but he should be on it.

00:15:26
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like as fans were old the JDN and he's a proper.

00:15:29
Speaker 7: Three people probably don't know he's very much a strip club junk listen.

00:15:34
Speaker 5: I know that because I'm a little older, but I absolutely I know that.

00:15:37
Speaker 4: But I think it makes sense for him to get on that and in a in an Andre three thousand way.

00:15:41
Speaker 7: Oh no, I want to. I mean, you know, and like I said, that's why. That's another reason why I was swaver on it. I don't want it. I don't want I want people to understand I'm not it's not we're not making it just like trap trap trap trapp. This is a it's a it's what I think the strip club should be playing. I feel like the music in the strip club shouldn't be so boxy, should be you know, That's how I grew up. It was different range of music that you heard in the strip club. And I'm just trying to open it up. So get back to that.

00:16:07
Speaker 4: So the legend j D JD. We appreciate you, brother, always good seeing you. And I got to get back to Lanta just so we can hang out and kick it again.

00:16:13

00:18:02
Speaker 5: What we're gonna do.

00:18:03
Speaker 3: I sat in the car by myself, like an old divorced man in the driveway, waiting for this to start because I did not want to like politics or talk to anybody.

00:18:12
Speaker 11: Yeah.

00:18:12
Speaker 2: No, I feel you. I feel you.

00:18:13
Speaker 10: I was doing the same ship in my career. I put on turnal call of duty right before I came in.

00:18:16
Speaker 2: I was like, guess, but I am. I'm not gonna lie.

00:18:23
Speaker 4: I am impressed by the fact that rappers out early.

00:18:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, because rap is not early.

00:18:28
Speaker 2: That's a fact. That's not an early genre.

00:18:29
Speaker 10: Now, it's usually a nigga like or a white man something like him that like has to like call you or bring or drag you out.

00:18:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

00:18:36
Speaker 11: Yeah.

00:18:49
Speaker 2: He was here.

00:18:52
Speaker 5: I was sitting in the car.

00:18:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, my man, I don't want to do it. Wait, y'all had to be here at eleven or before eleven s.

00:19:03
Speaker 10: I mean we had to, okay, because it started at eleven, right, it started eleven. Because I'm gonna say the reason I'm asking is because I seen Mall coming. Mall came in at the meat so whenever, and I got here late. So at that point, like.

00:19:16
Speaker 5: Jermaine do previous here before more, I seen Yeah, but you know why.

00:19:22
Speaker 2: But you know why j Kevin Hark was here.

Speaker 5: Ready back?

00:19:31
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, he's chilling. I like that.

00:19:33
Speaker 3: I'm scared of Maul even saying the comment he just said about people being late, because I don't even think man knows he's in hot water. He went Mall goes viral for the most random ship said stop drinking soda in the morning, and he got killed for two weeks. Waits Ma said he doesn't like mumble rap and doesn't like some of the younger rappers that can't read.

00:19:52
Speaker 5: It was a very funny.

00:19:54
Speaker 2: Yeah breaths for sure, right right, my friend.

00:20:00
Speaker 3: So the fact that Maul is now saying that black people are lay at the bt wards sitting next to me, I'm nervous.

00:20:05
Speaker 5: Awhere, that's gonna go. The thing is I could say it.

00:20:07
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're.

00:20:10
Speaker 5: Not saying it. I'm just saying I sit next to you when you go viral.

Speaker 12: Next.

00:20:22
Speaker 5: He said it, right, he said every time. Yeah, now you be getting.

00:20:28
Speaker 3: Right. But I take that when we first started potting, y'all would use the N word and they would clip it and say I said it, and I'm like, you could see the mouth.

00:20:34
Speaker 5: My mouth isn't even moving like so I'll take some Cardi b heat instead of that back in the day, because I.

00:20:40
Speaker 10: Think I think it's the fact that everybody collectively knows that at some point, not like not offensively but at some point you dropped the nigga like I don't know it, Like and you're thirty some years of living, like you dropped the nigga somewhere like you said.

00:20:49
Speaker 2: It's just like I think I think Rory might have dropped it when he went on his We.

00:27:54
Speaker 2: Just off because I hair.

00:27:55
Speaker 10: And wasn't that many little niggas were hair at the time, you know what I'm saying, Like there was a.

00:28:01
Speaker 2: Probably was a lot of it, wasn't.

00:28:04
Speaker 3: There could be two catfish episodes of somebody pretending to be bow Wow.

00:28:08
Speaker 2: Who else was pretending to be about?

00:28:09
Speaker 5: That was the funniest episode.

00:28:11

00:28:14
Speaker 3: Dyke pretended to be bow Wow. And damn this girl was sending damn bow Wow money because like I did see this, like every time, yes, yes, every time bow Wow like went to film, his like credit card would be frozen.

00:28:29
Speaker 2: She was like, no, I understand right that.

00:28:33
Speaker 9: Money a little just a little.

00:28:37
Speaker 3: Bit, right, It's just a bunch of bunch of money. So you were the original Catfish bow Wow?

00:28:42
Speaker 2: I was the original.

00:28:43
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:28:44
Speaker 10: The funny thing is the song that we did when we sample, he put a verse on it. I didn't gonna say who didn't allow it to come out, but he put a verse on that.

00:28:52
Speaker 2: Joe, Now you got to say who.

00:28:53
Speaker 5: You gotta say who stopped it?

00:28:55
Speaker 2: You know who stopped the verse? Somebody? It was somebody from the high that.

00:28:59
Speaker 5: It's definitely rock nations, absolutely nothing, but it was.

00:29:05
Speaker 10: I thought he's lid but like, what with that? Yeah, no, nigga, Do I mean he's slid on the original? Yeah, I mean you know twenty some years ago.

00:29:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, that.

00:29:20
Speaker 3: Probably, you know, I think that was that might have been the time when I was writing for him.

00:29:24
Speaker 2: That might be a t everyone, but lid on that. This might like.

00:29:28
Speaker 10: I was doing, I was fucking I'm about like yeah, so you wait, the question was he's a he's a legend?

00:29:34
Speaker 2: You're saying is he a legend?

00:29:35
Speaker 3: And maul can I believe people our age like revered bow Wow?

00:29:39
Speaker 5: And that's not what it is that nigga, No, no one hundred percent.

00:29:43
Speaker 9: But he let me, yeah, like that, don't do that. Don't do that, bro, that's too it's too much shit going on. I recognize that he is a legend.

00:29:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I just think that now the artists that he inspired are actually doing their thing now and then right sorry, moving around and now I'm interacting with them, I'm hearing it more like no bow Wow inspired that.

00:30:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, that so all it is.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: But I know, I'm very aware of how insane bow Wow was as an artist growing up.

00:30:12
Speaker 3: And how do you not know who wrote that you had to split the publicum? Just look at your contract and.

00:30:16
Speaker 10: I'm gonna tell you that, off my god, I know, and I'm gonna tell you that what I wrote that hook was fire. I'll tell you who name wasn't on it.

00:30:42
Speaker 2: Y'all are crazy man.

00:30:46
Speaker 4: All right, Ry, We are back at the media room being t Awards twenty twenty five. Yes, we are joined by someone who I have been wanting to speak with. Big fan of hers, love what she's doing in in the sports world. We haven't had a chance to connect personally. Well, here we are at the BT. What's twenty twenty five? Joy Taylor.

00:31:05
Speaker 3: Yes, we actually need a proper We have a segment called Don't Know Bull that we do every Wednesday.

00:31:10
Speaker 5: Oh yes, John, I don't know. I don't know about ball. We need you to come up there. Don't tell us about ball and act like they do.

00:31:17
Speaker 12: We need somebody had this conversation a few minutes ago.

00:31:21
Speaker 15: It's okay, though, it's.

00:31:23
Speaker 12: So intimidating to talk about sports, like who cares?

00:31:27
Speaker 6: So you're wrong?

00:31:28
Speaker 16: We're wrong all the time. I mean, I'm not wrong, but prong all.

00:31:32
Speaker 5: The tif your mortals are. But yeah, you know, it's okay.

00:31:36
Speaker 12: It's people be ranting and won't even know that the players not on the team anymore. Coach, it's not even there, like it's okay, we just we just talk. That's all right. It's so intimidating talk about sports. You don't need to know every single rule and every single player that played for the eighty seven Yankees, Like it doesn't.

00:31:53
Speaker 3: It's that that defines who you are as a sports broadcast.

00:31:56
Speaker 16: Is the blood type?

00:32:00
Speaker 3: Was Babe Ruth? Actually black? Yes?

00:32:02
Speaker 12: Now listen to that question, and I feel like I haven't. But they're like, you're not taking Babe Ruth from us, So that weekend we're gonna take.

00:32:16
Speaker 5: Away taking baby for the weekend.

00:32:17
Speaker 3: And I have seen on the photo of his first cousins. Yes, that is a black man.

00:32:23
Speaker 2: George Herman.

00:32:24
Speaker 5: That name is what are we talking about?

00:32:27
Speaker 3: That's the old black man?

00:32:31
Speaker 2: All right?

00:32:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have we got here? Is Halliburton the worst human being that's ever existed. That's how I feel.

00:32:37
Speaker 16: Listen.

00:32:38
Speaker 3: I hate everything about him. It's from pure hate, it's from pure jealousy.

00:32:42
Speaker 12: He is having an all time run. His life is never gonna be the same, and I love it for him. Like be prepared because if you hate him, he's gonna be on every commercial this summer. Yes, you about to see his face on every promo for the league next year. He's gonna have deals on deals. It's gonna be. I can see it now, Like someone is scripting this cinematic. Do you remember the remember the commercial Lebron did uh with the take Rena Church.

00:33:11
Speaker 5: Of course coming?

00:33:12
Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, yeah, but for Caliburton, for the overrated thing, Like it's gonna be like all the clips like Caliburton, It's gonna be like dribbling and then they're gonna I mean, I'm just give me ten percent.

00:33:26
Speaker 16: I just wrote it from you.

00:33:27
Speaker 4: I'm very I mean, we obviously know he's a he's a great player, but I am surprised by his performance in the playoffs.

00:33:35
Speaker 5: I will be.

00:33:35
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we all I mean we all are it's he's but we're surprised because we've never seen it before, Like he's never had these moments.

00:33:43
Speaker 16: Last year they got swept.

00:33:44
Speaker 12: Yeah, they're let's be honest, they're the Pacers. They don't have national media games. They don't get that, don't have fourteen games this year, right, Yeah, So it's it's really not surprising that everyone is surprised and and he's now stepping into the moment like you are something until you're not. So I think the overrated things obviously like that's going to follow him and make it.

00:34:06
Speaker 16: At this point, you should want to be called overrated.

00:34:08
Speaker 12: Josh Allen won the MVP in Olivert and I was having the run of his life, like call me overrated, Please let me speak this on me, like do a forty minute podcast.

00:34:16
Speaker 3: Have we've seen a playoff run in the last decade that has been close to Aliburn right now.

00:34:20
Speaker 12: Well, Halliburn is also so unique because he isn't Lebron.

00:34:24
Speaker 16: He isn't He's not.

00:34:25
Speaker 5: This overwhelming figure like he isn't He's not an intimidated figure on the court. But the thing that I think that that people aren't speaking to is the fact that that team has been together. They kept that team together. They're cool players.

00:34:37
Speaker 4: A lot of the guys have been together maybe two or three years now, and I think it's just clicking at the right time.

00:34:42
Speaker 12: They if they end up winning this series, they're gonna make things very difficult for a lot of gms because they are not built with multiple superstars. They're not built to be a super dominating team. They would have beat a completely dominant team in the Thunder who has.

00:35:09
Speaker 16: The league MVP.

00:35:10
Speaker 12: So the excuses of oh, well, we need more stars or we need no, I don't need to put together a rosser that compliments each other, that plays a certain style of ball, that has someone who is a clutch player.

00:35:23
Speaker 16: It is extremely well coached.

00:35:26
Speaker 3: I mean, do you think that aau era is over like even to the Celtics what they've done. Of course they're superstars, but not to the degree of what like the Heat used to do, even the Celtics before Lakers, is that done even with Well, I mean, I think the.

00:35:40
Speaker 12: Super team era kind of died with Kawhi, Like yeah, when he moved, he sort of debted the super team thing. And we haven't really seen a superteam win since the Warriors. They've still been assembled, but it just hasn't worked out. And the risk of that is you're so top heavy that you have to really be with an organization like the Warriors are, like the Heat that finds these players that they can develop quickly and put them in these unbelievable positions to ascend in the postseason, Like you got to be a well run organization to do that. So I do think the league is changing in a lot of ways. Obviously, it's become very international, so the style of play is changing. The fan base, how we consume it is changing, how we react to certain players is changing. Like it's just we've seen the switch over from the Ogs to the younger guys now in this finals. It's also two very small markets without transcendent superstars like Sga is a superstar for sure, Halliburtn's just become one, but SGA is not a household name for the casual sports fan. So I do think like what happens next year with the league will be very interesting, like how and what young player takes that face of the league role on, Because while Lebron is still there, his you know, shadow looms for the league as it should and stuff is still.

00:37:05
Speaker 16: There, it's a new era and.

00:37:08
Speaker 12: Who steps into that space will be very interesting or if we even need it.

00:37:13
Speaker 16: I mean I think that you do, Like I.

00:37:15
Speaker 12: Think when you think of a league, like you think of the NFL, you think of my homes, you think of like the young stars in the league that are winning.

00:37:21
Speaker 16: So it'll be interesting to see how it develops.

00:37:24
Speaker 5: Where is your passion for sports to come from?

00:37:26
Speaker 4: Like did you grow up in a household where you had to kind of like argue over what we were watching and things like that?

00:37:31
Speaker 5: Like where does that come from? Because you don't see many women.

00:37:34
Speaker 4: Talk sports the way you do, Like you're talking from a very a place of No. I grew up this is what I do, Like, where does that come from?

00:37:41
Speaker 2: So?

00:37:41
Speaker 12: I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, PA. And I grew up with my aunt and my aunts and my grandmother were big sports fans, as most pretty much everyone in a city like.

00:37:52
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh is still a nation.

00:37:54
Speaker 16: Yeah, and when the game came on, everyone had to shut up.

00:37:59
Speaker 12: They knew every player, they knew the coaches, they knew the coordinators. If they lost, they were pissed. Everyone should be fired, Like I just grew up. My mother is a die hard Cowboys fan. Don't ask me why or how, but she is a diehard Cowboys fan. She will rewatch games two days, Like we know the outcome of this game. She's like, yeah, but I didn't get to see the first quarter, so she will rewatch the game, which is like, I'm not even that bad. So it's just always been familiar to me to have an opinion or point of view on sports. And I grew up playing sports. I played basketball, soccer, volleyball, track. Obviously I come from a sports family as well. And I really think growing up in a city that sports is ingrains in like the culture and the community of the city in such a historic way, in such a proud way. Because the Seilers are just like a dynastic organization, It's just familiar to me, like I just expect that everyone has a review wants.

00:39:01
Speaker 16: I have to remind myself some times, so like everybody doesn't care.

00:39:03
Speaker 2: This much with music.

00:39:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's just what's familiar to me, Okay, as coming from a city that is the same way about their basketball team. I've been a lifelong tortured Knicks fan. That's why I started with hating Halliburton before we let you go. How do you feel about the Tips firing.

00:39:24
Speaker 16: I didn't like it. I didn't like it either, so I'm.

00:39:27
Speaker 9: I loved it. I get it, but because I knew he was going to get fired, because.

00:39:33
Speaker 5: He's the only one that's brought in us this far.

00:39:35
Speaker 16: Like I'm a big fan of firing coaches.

00:39:37
Speaker 12: I think a coach really has to earn getting fired. Also, hearkening back to the Steelers, like the Steelers are always good. Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season, which is remarkable, and especially when you look at what he's had to work with from the quarterback position. They've had three coaches in the history of their organization. Now they've been incredible coaches. But the problem with firing coaches is we just look at the guy who we see, right. We don't hold gms accountable the way that we do coaches. Obviously we can't hold owners accountable, but owners fiddle with things all the time that take things out of the coach's hands. So when you have a meddling owner, is it the coach's fault or is it because this owner didn't want to pay this player that this coach wanted. Like we don't know all the behind the scenes things that happen. What we do know is consistency and growth. And I feel like that's what Sibbs did for the next organization, and he stabilized the organization. Like I hate talking about poorly run organization. It's like I don't want to give them airtime because I know how hard it is for people in that building to have success.

00:40:47
Speaker 16: When you go into work and it's utter.

00:40:49
Speaker 12: Chaos when you don't have the things that you need, when you don't have the support that you need, when you don't have the staff that you need, when they're not bringing in the players that you need, Like it's so hard to win, Like that, so much goes into winning, and we zero in on the coaches because they're the guys that we see on the sideline. Also, when you fire a coach, their whole staff usually gets fired, which.

00:41:07
Speaker 16: Means there's a whole changeover.

00:41:09
Speaker 12: So players, guys who are down the bench a little bit who had this connection with this coach, who are actually developing and like getting some momentum.

00:41:16
Speaker 16: Now they got to get a new coach in there. Maybe they don't get along with them.

00:41:19
Speaker 12: Like there's it's such a it's such an avalanche of effects that happen when you bring in a new coaching, a new coach because they have their own staff, and then maybe they have a specific style of practice that doesn't work.

00:41:33
Speaker 16: Like it's just it's never ending. Yeah, And I am just a fan of it should.

00:41:38
Speaker 12: Be obvious that the coach needs to be fired, like they should be obvious. And if you are, if you take this organization further than they've been in twenty five years, maybe just give him one more year.

00:41:48
Speaker 5: That's what That's where I'm at with that at that.

00:41:49
Speaker 3: But he made some mistakes in the playoffs, but I'm with Joy on that, like, well, it needs to be a bigger reason than just they fell.

00:41:56
Speaker 4: Sure, but there's a thing going around now that's kind of looting. That cat got him fired in Minnesota and now cat got him fired in New York clips that I'm kind of having, you know.

00:42:09
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know that that's like, I don't know that that's like the reason that he got fired. Obviously, we know superstars play a big role in who the coach is and if they stay, and sometimes they may make like an offhand comment that influences things. I don't I have no idea whether he did or he didn't, But to me, I just I would have given him one more year. Like I think they had. They overachieved this year. Nobody had him in the Eastern Conference finals. With all due respect, So you ever achieved this year? Yes, you fell short. Run it back one more year. You've run better every single year. If you fall shorter than your expectations next year, cool, you didn't get the job.

00:42:46
Speaker 5: They invest in a bench and give it another year.

00:42:49
Speaker 16: Yeah, I would have given it one more year.

00:42:51
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:42:51
Speaker 5: Well, Joy, we got to have you on Don't Know Ball.

00:42:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still proper episode for share next time you're in New York. Definitely got to appreciate it. Let's do it, George.

Speaker 2: So it's a good weekend, no bt, always a good weekend. Good weekend.

00:43:31
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you too. More this is this is showing piece and solidarity. He had my my favorite verse on g n X, my favorite feature for surely, I mean, no homo. I followed him right after I heard peekaboo. I like follow men on Instagram like that before you told us that. I'm glad after I heard people after he heard about your man not sorry for your loss, ize, I'm following him, coach. That was the only person I followed immediately after I heard gn X. But what the internet thinks about you? I think this is great that both of y'all are sitting down the West Coast together. The show we can all live.

00:44:18
Speaker 4: They tried to make it East coast, West Coast thing ovo West Coast. No man, it's all love it's not, but especially for me l A. You know, Rory La is a second home from me. How you feeling about how's the success of you know, being on one of the biggest albums of the year.

00:44:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, how's life changed?

00:44:33
Speaker 5: How's you know? How the ladies treating you? How they talking to you?

00:44:36
Speaker 2: Now? The text messages respawning a little faster?

00:44:39
Speaker 17: Uh yeah, yeah, you know bitches that I ain't talked to him three years opening up.

00:44:44
Speaker 9: I like that, he said, bitches, you know what I'm saying, you don't talk me for three years.

00:44:50
Speaker 17: Yeah, they're responding to text happy birthdays from three years ago.

00:44:55
Speaker 5: It was checking up on you go ahead. They didn't even hear about the Super Bowl.

00:45:01
Speaker 17: But no, man, I just I've just been working, bro, and you know, like I've been doing my bends just to stay focused and not get too caught up and everything.

00:45:09
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, because it can be a lot.

00:45:11
Speaker 17: Yeah, So, you know, I just had my little things, like I like this last thing when I did the GNX sword shit like that.

00:45:18
Speaker 2: I think, like, through all.

00:45:19
Speaker 17: The shit that's been happening in the past six months, I felt that one of the most like once it hit all over the internet, like I felt like overwhelmed a little bit, like over stimulated, like you know what I'm saying.

00:45:30
Speaker 2: Like I felt that the most. So I kind of like I.

00:45:33
Speaker 17: Didn't take a little break, but I didn't post or nothing for a little bit, like all right, hold on, let me let this sink in for a minute, you.

00:45:38
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

00:45:39
Speaker 17: And yeah, that's really just how I've been dealing with everything though, you know, just finding balance, you know what I'm saying.

00:45:45
Speaker 3: Has it been a lot of pressure? You know, because I've seen because the internet has been a mess with everything that happened last year? Fact, fact, has there been a lot of pressure with people saying every feature from GNX should have capitalized on that ship the next fucking day, Like why didn't they all have albums ready to go that next day? What's the pressure been like with getting something so important and so great?

00:46:07
Speaker 17: I mean, respectfully, bro, I don't really deal with that shit because I'm the example that they use. It is why Nigga should capitalized. Well you should have did it? Like check, well, check did this ch that? So I don't necessarily feel feel that particular pressure. I guess the pressure I do feel is like coming with a real body of work. You know what I'm saying, Like, that's what's gonna make this shit really stick and count.

00:46:37
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

00:46:37
Speaker 17: So and it's not really pressure, but you know what I'm saying, like I feel it though, you know what I'm saying. That's the only thing I'm kind of like focused are like I guess you could say concerned about It's like following up with that body of work, bro, Like that's what's gonna count.

00:46:53
Speaker 2: Like these singles I do.

00:46:53
Speaker 17: It's cool, you know, the dot looks is great, but you know, I got to build my own foundation and it's gonna start there with that album.

00:47:02
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, What is it?

00:47:05
Speaker 4: What is it like for you though, Like to be able to touch a stage in a stadium like so far like that many people looking at you hearing you, like, how does that affect your creativity? How does that affect you know, the way you look at the industry, Like things have to change once you on a platform in the stage that big.

00:47:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it really just leveled me up, you know what I'm saying. Like and.

00:47:31
Speaker 17: You know, like like when when I did this ship like and That's why I tak a lot of people, Like I was so focused on the performance. I didn't really like get too submerged into the crowd.

00:47:43
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying.

00:47:44
Speaker 17: I had the custom in ears in so I couldn't hear nothing, Like all I could hear was the beat myself and die, Like I couldn't hear nothing. And then I was so focused on hitting my cues. You know, I didn't you know what I'm saying, I didn't want to bump into the dancers. And then when you see his walk on the second side of the age, like I had to.

00:48:01
Speaker 2: Keep up with him.

00:48:02
Speaker 17: Okay, we did the little choreographer bub band thing. So I'm so focused on that, Like it didn't hit me till later. Like I'm liking all the videos Twitter people figuring out, but I'm like, I'm really saving this later because I'm watch it. That was the only way I was able to see the crowd reaction was through the videos, and you know, or it just leveled me up, bro, Like you know what I'm saying, Like again, it just make it makes sense and you know, as people know I fought for that, you know what, I'm like, I have to get on the ass to make sure I got on that stage.

00:48:30
Speaker 2: And I couldn't fuck up, couldn't suck up because I asked for that ship. You gotta be ready for it.

00:48:34
Speaker 17: Yeah, And even before we went on stage, he like called me in his green room, like right before, like two songs before I think Sizzl was still on stage, and he was like, he was like, you nervous. I was like, no, heim, I asked for this. He's like, yeah, nigga, bet not be nervous. Your poker face though, bro. So it's just a level of bro. That's it for for real.

00:49:01
Speaker 3: How has that helped with what you want to do with live performances moving forward? H It's like going Sophie is crazy.

00:49:09
Speaker 2: Very crazy, bro U. It helped a lot.

00:49:12
Speaker 17: I mean the main thing is like real live performance, no backtrack, Like that's the real thing, keeping your breath, no backtrack, Like I performed without backtracks before, but not the full hour set, you know what I'm saying. Like that's a different ball game, Like you know what I'm saying. So that's one thing that I took from that that I have to work on. I don't have it all the way, Like there's some songs out of my catalog that I can do. But the other one, like I got to figure out a way, like you know what I'm saying, to sauce it and you know, like do different things and that that's the one thing, the no backtrack shit, like yeah, the real performance, you know what I'm saying.

00:49:49
Speaker 4: After hitting that type of stage, do you feel like at some point you probably uh you took for granted exactly how much goes into performing Because to be able to be on the stage that big and hit those cues, that's that far apart. Yeah, that type of performance is a different level fact, So do you look at that part of your career like, Okay, I got a sharp in my live.

00:50:07
Speaker 2: Performance set no for real Yeah yeah yeah.

00:50:10
Speaker 17: But at the same time, Bro, you couldn't tell me none of this ship was gonna happen a year ago, Like you know what I'm saying, Like I performed.

00:50:19
Speaker 2: What was it?

00:50:19
Speaker 17: I think it was the form not to pop out, But before that I did.

00:50:25
Speaker 2: I think it was the blank Face Store.

00:50:27
Speaker 17: Well, Q and I brought us out there and it still wasn't nothing like that because I didn't go with him, like we open for him.

00:50:34
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm saying, but.

00:50:36
Speaker 17: In a way, in a way, you know again, I just think I couldn't see myself. I never see myself on that type of stage, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, now that I am, I guess you can't say that, like you know what I mean, Like I have to get sharper bro, Like you know, the bar said right now, Yeah, the bar said. And because everybody's seen it, it's like now they're like, all right, it's gotta be at that. If it's set thousand or five hundred people in that room, you to perform.

00:51:04
Speaker 2: That's the fact.

00:51:05
Speaker 3: One of my favorite videos this year was you with your family watching the Super Bowl.

00:51:10
Speaker 5: Like, honestly, that was like just beautiful to watch in general.

00:51:15
Speaker 3: You know, I complimented it in your comments and got killed by every TD fan on Earth.

00:51:20
Speaker 5: I just tried to compliment him.

00:51:27
Speaker 3: He's sitting with his family watching that and then Kendrick does part of the verse with his day.

00:51:31
Speaker 5: I was like, this is amazing.

00:51:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that like sharing that moment just with your family, I mean capturing I know, it was incredible.

00:51:39
Speaker 2: Uh Bro, we didn't think he was gonna do that.

00:51:41
Speaker 17: Ship Yeah, I didn't know like, we didn't even think he was gonna do that many new songs, but it made sense because he was going on the tour and it's pretty much the same set list, right, So I didn't we didn't think he was gonna do that. My menasurer here was like, we're just gonna watch. She's like, he's gonna do peekaboo or whatever. We're just gonna watch. And I captured it on my TikTok Live. There's nobody in my life, bro, I like twelve people, you know what I'm saying, And he did so he did the damn song, So now we're freaking out. There's no way. Hell, I thought he was gonna wrap my verse though, you know what I'm saying. So if you watch the video, it's like he do the song, we turn, they do my ship.

00:52:20
Speaker 2: We super freak out, you know what I'm saying.

00:52:23
Speaker 17: And it was crazy, bro, just a it was a real wholesome moment, and I guess it's good because it was captured and kind of get people like where I'm coming from and my essence and make them rood for me more because they like.

00:52:36
Speaker 3: You can see, it wasn't some set up social media say with your family with.

00:52:40
Speaker 17: A real reaction the moment, and I understand, like how passionate that I am and my family only freaking out like that because they know how much fucking work I can put in, you know what I'm saying.

00:52:49
Speaker 2: So it's like, damn all this shit is coming tuition, you know what I'm saying.

00:52:52
Speaker 4: So where we at with the album? How far are we or how close are we to getting it?

00:52:56
Speaker 6: Ship?

00:52:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta ask that's yeah, yeah, super Bowl up? Cool with the album.

00:53:02
Speaker 17: This album facts, I've been working on it since fucking what February. I think so far, and I have some strong records, bro, I think the last stage I'm in now it's features, you know what I'm saying. Even my last my last single, I dropped Game Time that came out of working on the album, you know what I'm saying. So it's a lot of great records like that and different shit too. But I'm on the future side of things now, you know what I'm saying, And I'm glad I took my time because through all these different events. Now these other bigger artists is hitting me up. You know what I'm saying, Like, not just rapper, but r and b artists like going my mind.

00:53:42
Speaker 3: Like I mean, with your tone, I think you should be working with the artists like.

00:53:45
Speaker 17: They telling me, like, you know, I'm working on some demos for you. I'm gonna send it over. I'm just like Nigga one like all right, man, like you know what I'm saying. So that's the stage i'man now is knocking those features out. I'm start working on it again next week. So honestly sometime soon bro, like it's going to be this year for sure, though, Yeah, it's going to be this year.

00:54:06
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to hearing it.

00:54:07
Speaker 14: Man.

00:54:07
Speaker 2: Man, I gotta get the work. Yeah, I'm looking forward to get the word.

00:54:10
Speaker 4: I don't know is critiquing, not critiquing, but you know what i mean, I'm just listening differently because you get those type of looks, you know, Toronto like Kendrick to Stamp you I got. I got to hear what he what he on, what he talking about?

00:54:26
Speaker 5: I know what that sounded like with Kendrick, but let me hear what he sound like.

00:54:30
Speaker 2: That's what I'm not looking. I'm not over critical.

00:54:32
Speaker 4: It's just like I'm looking forward to hand what you did away from all that all of that noise. I don't like to call it noise, but it's noise, just like, yeah, it's big fact what you did away from that much?

00:54:40
Speaker 5: That was quiet?

00:54:41
Speaker 4: Right, That's what I'm looking forward to real sh sh I like that a lot like.

00:54:45
Speaker 3: That again, my opinion the standout feature on gm X no real complex does list.

00:54:52
Speaker 5: That's just what the fuck they do?

00:54:53
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:54:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, what what did you think about complexes? Was the top twenty five? They did twenty five?

00:54:59
Speaker 2: Right?

00:55:00
Speaker 3: It was a fifty d fifty top fifty rappers from Los Angeles? How did you feel about complex list?

00:55:08
Speaker 5: Park wasn't doing there?

00:55:08
Speaker 17: That was the biggest Like, yeah, I didn't even notice that. Yeah they told me that ship last night.

00:55:15
Speaker 2: Bro.

00:55:18
Speaker 17: Through all this, I've been learning to separate myself from things like as far as as far as like taking ship so personal.

00:55:25
Speaker 2: I can't take you personally.

00:55:27
Speaker 17: Everything is opinionated. Yeah, it's their opinion. I'm not mad at it. Yeah, I mean it would have make s us to kind of get the backstory on who made the list?

00:55:37
Speaker 5: Okay, are you even from the West?

00:55:40
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:55:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, anytime you look at the list, we always wanted to who made this?

00:55:44
Speaker 2: Who made this?

00:55:45
Speaker 5: Like what is your background, what allows you to even make this list?

00:55:49
Speaker 2: Right? So until they start doing shit like that, I don't really feel no way about it. You don't give it too much energy because.

00:55:55
Speaker 17: You're not really standing on business. You're not coming out like all right brok background like I'm hip hop with he would, You're not doing that. You're writing it and hiding like.

00:56:07
Speaker 3: Right, what the goal is to get clicks and make people talk about it. So even know you're going to put that type of ship. Yeah, but Game, who I felt just my personal list, I think Game is top five for the West, just my personal the fact that they put him, I think with eleven games at eleven, I think Game is top five. I agree he put out his own list he had you had seventy eight, I believe. Yeah, just like you know who Game is and what he represents to the West Coast, Yeah, him him acknowledging that you should have been on the list when it comes to now fuck with.

00:56:41
Speaker 2: Game, bro.

00:56:42
Speaker 17: He has an amazing catalog your dog, you know what I'm saying, And you know it's artists like like that.

00:56:50
Speaker 2: That like makes my mom understand where I am.

00:56:53
Speaker 17: You know what I'm saying, because she raised me we listened in the game Black All Street List.

00:56:59
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, So now was rude?

00:57:01
Speaker 17: She gets it like when I'm like I sent in the picture on with game the Wood, she gets it like, oh okay, I'm doing it. You know what I'm saying. So I be need no type of moment. So I definitely have a different respect level of the game. He definitely one of the ones bro without doubt, of doubt, with out of doubt.

00:57:18
Speaker 3: Before we let you go, because I feel like this was a great peaceful moment for the internet.

00:57:23
Speaker 5: Can you say something nice about Joey badass.

00:57:29
Speaker 11: Joy away from god Man? What one thing I can say? Oh God, I wish, I wish what.

00:57:45
Speaker 2: You doing with the power Ship is still I mean, it's still amazing.

00:57:48
Speaker 17: You know I'm saying I do wish he like consistently went crazy, Like okay, not saying never wish he got into acted because I said that shit still fired. But I feel like if he just was a going crazy, he would really be like you know what I mean, he still feel me.

00:58:06
Speaker 4: But he definitely surprised a lot of people included with with his performance.

00:58:11
Speaker 2: But I was what was we speaking to earlier?

00:58:13

01:01:20
Speaker 18: Don't FaceTime me, call me.

01:01:25
Speaker 3: So not knowing that after I get turned down with the snowboarding data, you think the next move is to call it.

Speaker 2: Get this.

01:01:37
Speaker 16: For what you want?

01:01:42
Speaker 5: I want to committed enough.

01:01:43
Speaker 18: Yeah, you gotta get three hundred.

01:01:48
Speaker 4: On the concourse with the boom box, the sout the music, because absolutely you're one of the You're one of the ones that just your voice alone on the track. You set yourself apart from the entire pack. Thank you what we're doing with the music, because I'm waiting.

01:02:06
Speaker 2: I'm waiting.

01:02:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, So a lot of people to know I was locked in a contract for eight years. I just got released to two weeks ago. Correct, thank you someone I brought me out. But yeah, I was locked in a contract with a production company you know how they do. And yeah, so there wasn't letting me released for a long time. Like I wasn't really able to do anything, so and it was kind of it was messing up everything else. But I was still trying to, you know, hit my ones in twos, like I still had luckily Nicki helping me out, Like I had a lot of people that that was you know, I don't know, can I curse a lot of people that was fucking with me, that supported me. So I'm very grateful for that. And then I was doing my modeling, my little acting thing here and there too.

01:02:43
Speaker 4: Definitely active. He was on stage see with Nicki. NICKI brough up to I thought that was fire for her to bring.

01:02:47
Speaker 5: Y'all out and have y'all touch the stage.

01:02:48
Speaker 2: That was showing a lot of love your next wave of the female rappers coming up?

01:02:53
Speaker 3: How did that come about the relationship with Nicki and you know the possy cut that y'all did, which is fire.

01:02:58
Speaker 16: Yeah, Well when.

01:02:59
Speaker 8: Nicki, I don't know, I just always like just show up to her on Twitter, Instagram and everything. And then she sent my name in an interview, like she thanked me in an interview for just you know, just always saying her name, like even through the hate train like she you know. So I don't know, it just I kind of like grew over over past that. And then I did the when she had Queen Radio, she brought me up there to freestyle for her and that was amazing. So it kind of it's weird how it started. Like first she started playing my music on Queen Radio. Then she hit me up to actually go up there and wrap for her. And then she always like you know, throws me in little bones and stuff like that, and I fuck with her for that, you know, because she don't be having to do that, but she does.

01:03:38
Speaker 3: It sounds like you had a better Queen Radio experience than we did. You guys, Kenny was shadow boxing with balloons in the backgrounds for sure.

01:03:58
Speaker 18: Yeah, I know you guys be fighting crime.

01:04:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think you have the best verse on that posse cut.

01:04:05
Speaker 5: Would you say the same of course.

01:04:09
Speaker 8: Now, to be honest, I think Nicki's was right.

01:04:13
Speaker 18: Let me tell you why.

01:04:14
Speaker 8: Nikkis was right because she said she was inspired by my flow and the things that she was saying after me was fire. So I thought, like, hands down, like you know, because I grew up listening to her, So to hear her like use my flow on the song and then kill it, I was. I was.

01:04:29
Speaker 18: My mind was blown.

01:04:30
Speaker 5: That's why I thought you had the best verse.

01:04:31
Speaker 3: But once Nikki put that out and I saw that she took because I thought maybe you heard Nikki's verse or no, no, no exactly, she was like yeah, and I.

01:04:39
Speaker 5: Got that flow from her.

01:04:40
Speaker 8: I was like, yes, she did a whole other extra verse. She said that was going to be it. She wasn't even going to do that, and then she heard my part. It was like, no, I got to keep it going, and I'm so glad she did because I don't know.

01:04:50
Speaker 1: I was.

01:04:51
Speaker 18: Look, I was on a high for like months over that.

01:04:54
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I met Mitch.

01:04:58
Speaker 9: Was in the studio saying with Bird sing yes, and we walk in the jungle, I think it was jungle was walking and he playing his joint and it's this girl.

01:05:09
Speaker 2: Rapping and I'm like the voice was I was like, yo, who the fuck up from behind the fucking board and I guess she was sitting there right behind it.

01:05:21
Speaker 5: She pops up and was like me. I was like, there's no way that's her voice, like.

01:05:27
Speaker 4: Incredible tone texture, Like is that something that you because obviously you can't get away from me.

01:05:35
Speaker 2: The Foxy and Malleable comparison.

01:05:38
Speaker 18: Ship, I stole it.

01:05:39
Speaker 2: I ran with it.

01:05:44
Speaker 8: No, but definitely I went through a phase will like when I did the Top five project, I was like, I remixed it little can Foxy Laura Hill Missy from there.

01:05:53
Speaker 18: I don't know.

01:05:53
Speaker 8: It was just like I went to a deep rabbit hole of Foxy and I was like listening to all her stuff and then I don't know, I just liked every thing that she embody Like, you know, she was very pretty, very cutesy, but also very gangster, and that's how I feel like, you know, so I just like, I honestly jacked the whole shit. I'll be telling her all the time and she'll just die out laughing at me.

01:06:10
Speaker 18: But yeah, I jacked that shit.

01:06:12
Speaker 4: I'm glad you cleared that up because that was definitely every time I hear Mitch, I'm like, yo, her tone is so crazy. It's definitely reminiscent of Foxy. Yeah, but from a different perspective, do you.

01:06:23
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying?

01:06:23
Speaker 5: So was that was Foxy?

01:06:26
Speaker 2: The one? Growing up?

01:06:26
Speaker 5: Was that the one you kind of was like, Yo, she's my Like I've.

01:06:30
Speaker 18: Always loved Foxy, like like really like growing up, I was like a Nikki head.

01:06:34
Speaker 5: Oh de okay o.

01:06:36
Speaker 8: Like later on this one, I started fucking with Foxy, you know, so yeah, but I'm definitely a Foxy girl.

01:06:43
Speaker 18: Like you know, she was just so flying. She's in so fashion and I am too, you know. So yeah, I think that's very New York though, fly girl, like.

01:06:50
Speaker 3: You know, yeah again, congrats of getting out of that thankful contrast.

01:10:48
Speaker 2: So you gotta love it. I absolutely hate it.

01:10:49
Speaker 5: It's good to have both of y'all here.

01:10:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.

01:10:51
Speaker 5: After the last few weeks or a couple of.

01:10:53
Speaker 4: Months that we had, we sat down with a few MASI sat down Masi earlier, Belly Gang, a few few other rappers, and everybody was on the same page of agreeing that the moment that we had with young rappers rapping and pushing their pin and putting joints out was fire, super tough. Was definitely need super tough. And I think that y'all too, were definitely two of the guys that was through y'all, Hatch and Ring. How was it from each perspective of that moment and your respective corners coasts, right, and like what was the energy?

01:11:19
Speaker 5: Will start with you kay in New York during that.

01:11:22
Speaker 3: Moment when we was getting jumped, That's that showed up.

01:11:28
Speaker 2: For me. It's like we're supposed to be the Mecca, were supposed to have the spinners.

01:11:31
Speaker 20: We supposed to be. It's crazy because I looked at it as a consumer at first. Okay, until this nigga drop tell her he's talking to all of you niggas and like Joey b is gonna just like nah, I felt compeled. I was like, as a New York rapper, who am I to not put myself into this conversation?

01:11:50
Speaker 12: Right?

01:11:50
Speaker 21: That was it?

01:11:50
Speaker 2: Okay?

01:11:51
Speaker 4: The reason because you we was on We was on on spaces for sure until I dropped every.

01:11:59
Speaker 2: Ship.

01:12:00
Speaker 22: It was.

01:12:00
Speaker 23: It was one of them things where I like, I agree with Kyle like it was it was weird. It was like, why are these niggas just letting Joey catch all the fades?

01:12:07
Speaker 5: And so when Joey, you admit we was being jumped, No, we wasn't. You wasn't being jumped.

01:12:13
Speaker 2: That's what it is. But that's what I'm saying.

01:12:14
Speaker 23: It's like to me, it was like like Joey said my name, but I didn't want to throw a whole joint at Joey because like ray was going, daylight was going. I'm like, it looked weird if like you know what I'm saying, Like it's like it's one nigga. So I was like, I'm gonna throw Joey a couple of bars and I'm gonna just throw some grenades over there to the East coast and just see, you know what I'm saying, what pop out?

01:12:30
Speaker 2: But Ki shit was fired though, like he was he was.

01:12:34
Speaker 23: Uh, And I gave him as flowers like you know, like behind the.

01:12:37
Speaker 20: Scenes in fact, yeah, directly after, directly after.

01:12:40
Speaker 2: Like to me, it was just like I was.

01:12:42
Speaker 23: You know, of course the song is a song, but like I'm I'm such a huge fan of like New York culture in general. That's what taught me to do, how to do music, dress everything.

01:12:49
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

01:12:50
Speaker 23: And so for me, I'm like, why is New York not like standing on the same principles that I you know what I mean, no to stand after talking to some New York niggas.

01:12:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how the fuck do we feel the same way about this? Yeah, And it's how we had odds because of that.

01:13:05
Speaker 5: I know you feel that way because your family is deep rooted.

01:13:07
Speaker 2: In It's like I'm like, I'm looking at it.

01:13:11
Speaker 20: That's why I said that at the end too, like like we we gotta, we gotta, we gotta get it together.

01:13:16
Speaker 2: The wave is back, Like we can't do drill forever, y'all. Like I like it. I'm a fan of it. Shout out to all artists. I got friend, my friends do drill.

01:13:22
Speaker 20: But it's like, if we want to be who we were, if we have any hope for it, we got to step up to the play because these niggas is rapid.

01:13:30
Speaker 23: Yeah, I do stand there. I told you the West is the mecca right now of lyricists, and I'm standing on that.

01:13:36
Speaker 2: How you standing on right now? Right now here, right now? I just want.

01:13:49
Speaker 3: You gotta a longer pod for this one, ye, which we definitely need to sit down have a proper episode. How did y'all feel with that week and finally, like lyrics trending on the time line, what was it like having Link and Drama and y'all ear your team and your ear of capitalizing off that entire moment and the pressure of what that was like.

01:14:08
Speaker 5: I ain't because I know Drama had a whole gangster grills.

01:14:10
Speaker 3: He's like, well dow days.

01:14:13
Speaker 20: They didn't even know what I was doing. I finished the song, I sent it in a group chat. I was like, I'm dropping this ken.

01:14:20
Speaker 2: It was just like run it, run it, let's do.

01:14:23
Speaker 20: As soon as I dropped it I sent it out, it started going crazy. It was just like, oh, I bet this is what we are.

01:14:29
Speaker 2: And I was preparing for any responses too, Like I I was.

01:14:32
Speaker 20: I was ready because I knew like consequences and repercussions might come my way.

01:14:35
Speaker 2: That's cool. What's part of the game.

01:14:36
Speaker 23: Once you pop outside, you gotta yeah, you gotta you gotta be prepared.

01:14:39
Speaker 2: For what's coming out to know.

01:14:40
Speaker 23: Yeah, but no, that was that was fire My boy I was on Benjamin actually sent me your joint and yeah, and that was when I immediately I went on Twitter like I was like, I'm about to tweet this ship. This ship is fire like but but nah, like, yeah, you always want to capitalize off of moments when people and it's it's funny to me because it's like hip hop does this thing where it goes back and forth between like lyrics mattering and then like you like the party shit and da da dah, and then it go back for a week and exactly you know what I'm saying, Like, so you know, I'm just hoping that it can stay here in the space for a little bit because it's like we need to have like a lane where this is the topic of discussion, you know what I mean, and as much work and effort as we put into it, you get what I'm saying, Like it needs to be that.

01:15:16
Speaker 5: So how tough is it?

01:15:18
Speaker 3: Because both you guys make great music, but a lot of the times your freestyles will go viral. Literally, is that like a catch twenty two? Is that not really as great as people think it is. Does that put you in a box where you become the frees Like I've had this conversation.

01:15:33
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just speak for me. I've tried not to like put myself in that box. So I try to like do freestyles at a time and then like lay off it for a cool minute. But also for me, I'm being honest, Like people don't understand it's hard to wrap for three minutes straight and be creepy.

01:15:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, like over like that shit is draining, bro, So it's like we need breaks sometimes too.

01:15:53
Speaker 12: Well.

01:15:54
Speaker 20: For me, I would say the way I look at it now is we're in such a subjective era of the D Street. It's like a freestyle could be a hit. Look at look at hot Nigga. So it's like for me, anything that go for me is I'm running. I'm running with it.

01:16:08
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Like I dropped a Preacher Man feature, I mean.

01:16:10
Speaker 20: Freestyle right after Nicks and six, and it kind of went up because everybody that started to pay attention. It's just like, y'all are paying attention to me because I brought my a game with lyricism. So it's like if y'alluck with me for this, even even y'all like y'all, I'm tapped in with y'all now, so I'm gonna keep pushing the needle for it.

01:16:26
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:16:26
Speaker 20: When I gotta make songs, I'm gonna make songs regardless. Yeah, but I'm gonna stick to what to my guns because I feel like it's gonna help catapult me in the long run.

01:16:33
Speaker 3: Anyway, before we let y'all go, this is just simply for our group chat, I need you to rank who annoys you the most out of Lake Cannon and drama one to three.

Speaker 24: We haven't got to a point where is annoying they standing there clutching away everybody number one, So.

01:17:05
Speaker 23: Yeah, that was the first thing I spoke about, like we gotta we gotta do a joint together. And it's it's refreshing to me because like it don't be a lot of niggas that like can actually you know what I mean.

01:17:13
Speaker 2: Like, and so whenever I find.

01:17:15
Speaker 23: Somebody that I'm like, oh, this niggas actually fired. That's the first thing I think of it was like we gotta do. We got to do a few joints, you know what I mean, and get some ship out. So I definitely it's funny because I was actually gonna send them some ship. I got a Deluxe dropping on Friday, and I wanted to send them some ship for that.

It's I've been like working real hard just getting that ship out. But project is done and I'm just want to, like honestly, just stay consistent with dropping like you know what I'm saying. Like I said, I got a second chance to drop music. I set back for I had to fall back a little bit with the stuff that was going on my label and h but now I'm bad man, and I'm just in a great space like like maybe extreme.

01:22:04
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, we don't need to talk about the other label ship whatsoever. But during that time, who were some of like the legends that you were working with on the writing and producing side during the come up.

Like we were kind of in a bad state where it's like we don't have ogz that's around us to like make shit bigger or like you know, So that was really dope to be around, Like Mario wan Is, I got to be around Chucky Thompson rest in peace.

01:23:06
Speaker 13: That's all, y'all. I see y'all some real Some people when I say Chucky.

01:24:10
Speaker 13: I love Yeah.

01:24:13
Speaker 2: I heard the song.

01:24:16
Speaker 14: I heard you really DeLux Yet No, Bro, I'm weird because I'm like competitive.

01:24:26
Speaker 13: I don't want to hear nobody.

01:24:27
Speaker 2: Ship makes sense.

01:24:28
Speaker 5: I don't hear nobody, said most actual artists.

01:24:31
Speaker 3: I've pete that when they're in creation mode, they don't want to hear anyone else's ship.

01:24:35
Speaker 5: I'm not listening to anything else.

01:24:36
Speaker 13: Because it's easy for subconsciously.

01:24:39
Speaker 5: Bro, you're gonna take in.

01:24:40
Speaker 2: You're just gonna just or.

01:24:41
Speaker 13: You're gonna start matching your music up to other nigga.

01:24:43
Speaker 9: Shit.

01:24:44
Speaker 2: No, he's so good. I know what he is. I don't want to know one of them.

01:24:49
Speaker 14: Let's just you know what I'm saying. When it's time, let's get in. But I don't want to know. But I'm about to work with us, said too from internet.

01:24:55
Speaker 5: Me said, what you're trying to do?

01:24:58
Speaker 2: Man, because this is these names, and I'm just already knowing where.

01:25:01
Speaker 14: I'm excited, bro, Like I just want to create. I think, like I said, like I'm done with songwriting. I'm letting that chapter go. I'm in a space where like I'm doing this for me. I'm doing this for me, and I'm doing this for like actually being able to feed my fast. It's getting bigger and bigger. I'm seeing it.

01:25:20
Speaker 13: So it just feels good to like actually get love when you out.

01:25:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, making that step. I feel like this era R and B, like where RAP is, it's a lot of young young kids. They're nineteen years old. I feel like the ABC listers of R and B now are older. Yeah, and they were always the writers, like even down from from Lucky to Leon Thomas, Like all these people were writing before. And I've had those conversations with them of like what was the moment of like, yo, fuck this, I'm making money, but I'm not going to keep doing this writing shit.

01:25:53
Speaker 5: I'm going to give this artist shit a fair shape.

01:25:56
Speaker 13: What was that moment?

01:25:57
Speaker 3: Like even all right, Victoria Victorian money coming off Jaguar too. Yeah, the amount of success she was having as a writer before she could have been like, all right, maybe I should just do this.

01:26:06
Speaker 14: Satisfied though, because it's like we know, because first and foremost like to be to be a songwriter, you gotta be you gotta be a selfless a little bit and you have to like know that you don't get to sign right, And.

01:26:18
Speaker 2: I'm cool with that.

01:26:19
Speaker 14: If you need the money, yeah, I will take the money if you But now your niggas don't want to give us our money, Like now y'all don't want.

01:26:25
Speaker 1: To do this.

01:26:26
Speaker 14: That's when it started getting like, all right, I'll go drop my music, my fan base, my merch create my brand, my business because as a songwriter it's hard to create a business because you're so under the shattle. But now like you see me, you know, you know it's easy to like, you know, create your own business. But I knew it when I knew it. When I thought I knew, I knew it was over. When I'm not gonna say the artists man, but not even a big artist. And I gave him a banger and I asked for a point and a and R was like, we don't do points. You never done points. I'm like, your artist is new. I did this, and you mean to tell me you don't want to be on the right side of history with giving me a point, like be on the right side of history. You know what I'm saying, be on the right side of history. So, and like I think people don't want to be on the right side of history. I think it's like a it's a weird It's a weird time for like A and rs because the A and rs really don't give a fuck because they want to just protect their job, you know what I'm saying. You know, like it was a time where like our A and rs actually cared about the writers and the producers, the engineers. You want to like feed them, but like everybody want to keep their job, you know what I'm saying, They gonna do whatever they can to.

01:27:42
Speaker 3: Plead all right, So those A and rs are bad? Have you ran into in your songwriting time? The A and rs that try to take public.

01:27:52
Speaker 2: They deserve it?

01:27:52
Speaker 3: No, So here's in some cases, yes, But there's been times that I've seen producers I've been working with, the songwriters I've been working with that they'll do something and if they're doing something for someone on a major I'll talk with their A and R and their A and R. Once I get the split back of all right, they get one percent of pub on this ship when they should be getting five at minimum.

01:28:11
Speaker 5: It's going to the fucking aar I'm talking about. You have a salary you not.

01:28:13
Speaker 2: Even Yeah, Rory, I've seen that.

01:28:15
Speaker 13: I see like you don't.

01:28:16
Speaker 5: Deserve this at all. Your job is being paid over here for what you're doing.

01:28:20
Speaker 13: You're so right, you so right.

01:28:21
Speaker 14: But I ain't gonna hold you. I use that to my to my benefit, because it's like to make them do their job. I give you two point five, I give you five percent. I'm not stingy like I do that. I get my homies pub I get my homies pub on songs.

01:28:36
Speaker 25: You know.

01:28:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, engineers deserve more pub than A and R's.

01:28:38
Speaker 14: Like, get my engineer's pub like like like all my like what a renaissance, don toliver like my engineers get publishing on all that shit because I want him to get a pub dude, I want him to make money, you know. So yeah, but I done definitely don't gree some A and R poems with.

01:28:58
Speaker 4: You got to so so with the next project, Johnny, because like I said, songs for women is one of my personal all time favorites. The next project sonically content, how how different is it or how much in the same kind of texture is it?

01:29:17
Speaker 13: Like you said when you saw me, you were like a.

01:29:21
Speaker 2: Song.

01:29:21
Speaker 14: Women was your soundtrack to your to your life. And my album is called Soundtracks to get Her Back. So you don't even know what you just did there. Oh you don't even know, like you And that's why I did it. I want this shit to be a soundtrack for all of us that that love R and B and that have had heartbreak and they actually want to feel something. So the sonics are different, though it's not as I think like songs. Women was like to me, like marry j Blige, what's the for one?

01:29:51
Speaker 3: One happened?

01:29:52
Speaker 13: It had that nanny tone. It was that nanny's tone.

01:29:55
Speaker 14: This is more like two thousands, like two thousands in today, but but it's still got a little naughties.

01:30:04
Speaker 13: But it's not as nineties as What's the full one one? What's the Full One? Was like, yeah, Women, it was like super Night.

01:30:10
Speaker 14: Yeah, but but the but the but the subject is like really getting my losing my girl and getting her back.

01:30:17
Speaker 5: So who did you have in mind?

01:30:19
Speaker 3: Specifically during songs to get her back losing my girl. Do you have to wait for the extra Deluxe to find out if it actually happened.

01:30:33
Speaker 13: So that's what the stage play is about.

01:30:35
Speaker 14: So I created the whole stage play and it sold out in l A my first night, and it's a Where'd you do it?

01:30:41
Speaker 11: That?

01:30:41
Speaker 14: I did it at the Porto Theater and so literally I had amazing playwriter Bret uncle William.

01:30:46
Speaker 13: She she does the Shy with lean Away. She's one of the writers.

01:30:50
Speaker 14: And literally, it's all about the story is about this, like the album. So the John's so cold, like somebody get killed in them mother, it's cold.

01:30:59
Speaker 5: You thought about doing it like on a on like a like a short film for it.

01:31:03
Speaker 2: We shot it.

01:31:04
Speaker 14: So we shot it and we're working on taking it. We actually got it on a network. But I don't want to say what it's cool you're gonna see it.

01:31:11
Speaker 2: I'm waiting. I want to see it.

01:31:12
Speaker 5: I'm invested in Jossy.

01:31:13
Speaker 9: I want to I'm looking forward to anything you got going because the way you be talking, I'm.

01:31:18
Speaker 2: Like, she talking that ship.

01:31:19
Speaker 5: I gotta be a part of it. I gotta be a part of it.

01:31:23
Speaker 24: I love it.

01:31:23
Speaker 14: I love that y'all of like, I'm seeing a lot of men really loving R and B like this, And it was a time I used to think like niggas didn't.

01:31:31
Speaker 13: It was it was weird how they made me think that R and B was just for girls or like what for this and for that?

01:31:37
Speaker 3: But like I mean, even some of like the lo fi toxic R and B now I think it's just for women. I don't even think it's for us, like we like traditional R and B.

01:31:46
Speaker 2: Shit is what they like. I'm a R and B head for sure.

01:31:49
Speaker 13: You don't like lofi.

01:31:50
Speaker 5: I do love lo fi, but too much of it and too much of the toxic ship.

01:31:55
Speaker 3: Like I do want to hear men sing about loving women like I don't always want to be upset at my girl, like.

01:32:02
Speaker 5: I do like some positivity in sometimes sometimes.

01:32:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it that. That's so good to know, but good to know.

01:32:11
Speaker 3: My last nerve question, did you have an opportunity to work with Stacey Barth and what is it like working with I think one of the most underrated voices shut off to stay songwriters like Stacey to me is one of them.

01:32:24
Speaker 14: Yeah, she did one of my favorite songs on love album Closer, to god, Stacey, I did a banger for Stacey. I'm so mad she ain't cut it right there she was, Yeah, but Stacey's amazing Stacey. Stacey to me, she's not She's a She's a spirit. She's like a particle. Yeah, She's like how I look at like blal and I look at Erica bad that particles Like it's just like she can just.

01:32:58
Speaker 13: So I don't, man, I love Stacey.

01:33:00
Speaker 14: Yeh.

01:33:00
Speaker 5: She called Stacy's one of them.

01:33:02
Speaker 13: Yeah, she wanted them.

01:33:03
Speaker 14: It's hard to write for her too, because she doesn't she doesn't when she sings, it's like she flows. So it's like you gotta just let her freestyle and then if she wants to give you a few lyrics, if you want to throw a few lyrics, but you just.

01:33:15
Speaker 2: Got her go.

01:33:16
Speaker 4: She's like, she's like, you know, we definitely got to get jobs. Whenever you're in New York, you want to come by the.

01:33:25
Speaker 2: Studio, yes, please please do.

01:33:29
Speaker 5: I'm like I said, I'm invested in johnsy Fully.

01:33:31
Speaker 2: I love everything you're doing.

01:33:32
Speaker 4: I'll support everything that you're doing and can't wait to see and listen to what you got next for us. If you don't pull up this page for and stop putting this loud about me with the girls because I'm over trying.

01:33:42
Speaker 2: For my wife.

01:33:43
Speaker 3: I thought you got him back.

01:33:45
Speaker 5: No, that's jo my side, bitch is my man. Don't love me no more? That's I have the teacher.

01:33:57
Speaker 2: When did you When did you turn?

01:33:58
Speaker 5: Was working?

01:33:59
Speaker 2: When did you turn?

01:34:00
Speaker 5: I was working?

01:34:00
Speaker 3: Actually I was working at def jam when you put that record out, damn for I have the promo shirt still in my crew that has that whole shit written out.

01:34:08
Speaker 2: Amazing.

01:34:09
Speaker 3: So we are here joined by somebody that I think is the epitome of when the Internet says, oh one hit wonder shit this, and that Creatives, no matter what situation you put them in, will always conquer, will always find a way. And I think Trinidad James is a perfect example of that coming off, you know, I mean all gold, everything was was what it was. But I have been more impressed by everything you have done since you as a creative, whether it be on some pun and shit on CNN or in the fashion world shit when we connected, we was at at the Gucci store, some shit, at an event. Like everything you've been doing outside of when you popped off, I think it's been incredible.

01:34:52
Speaker 22: Thank you man, truly truly appreciate it. It's been a journey. This is actually year thirteen for me.

01:34:58
Speaker 2: Wow, man, thirty years years bro, you know, and it feels like three. Yeah, and it was really really fast.

01:35:06
Speaker 22: And you learn a lot about self, You learn a lot about life in this fantasy world of entertainment.

01:35:12
Speaker 2: Fantasy world of entertainment like this. I come from real life. I come from real life, you know.

01:35:19
Speaker 22: So I never lost tap of real life, but I come in and jump into fantasy too.

01:35:25
Speaker 2: A little bit.

01:35:26
Speaker 9: Yeah.

01:35:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember, like even when you know you first popped with all good everything, I remember everyone telling me like, yeah, he does a music thing, but he was so prominent in Atlanta with fast stores and fashion and everything. Like, now, this is not just somebody that caught a lick. What's the back history of what you were doing in Atlanta before all go everything that hit.

01:35:46
Speaker 22: So I was a stylist, street dude, trapping a little bit. I ran one of the most popping boutiques in the city. That's how I got to meet all the DJs and the artists because they came to shop with me, and I never talked about their music. I kind of just put my CD inside of their shopping bag because I just don't believe.

01:36:02
Speaker 2: I'm not a handout type of person. I'm a bootstrap type of person.

01:36:05
Speaker 22: That's why my dad raised me, and that's how I kind of just built Like when they started realizing like, oh, that's my guy from the store, it built a different respect because it's like I earned it. And but that's what I was doing when I was dressing people. I've always been My task and duty is to make sure that our culture stay shining. And that's just by showing us that you can express yourself, you know, come as you are, but make sure that it's intention in your presence, you know.

01:36:32
Speaker 2: And that's what it's always been.

01:36:34
Speaker 22: Man Like you saw me through my visual, you know, and my visual is what made people show somebody's like you see this niggag, this nigga, you know, it's like and that's because it's like it brought life into what we needed. Sometimes you don't know what we need, but God gave me the energy and I guess the presence to be that of like, oh, look at the artists that we get now after twenty twelve to now thirteen years later, of like just new type of R and B where they don't have to show their face no more. They don't got to be pretty. They don't hear what I'm saying, Like, you could be who you are and let your talent be the star. Right, It's pretty dope, man.

01:37:15
Speaker 5: What some of your earliest memories growing up.

01:37:20
Speaker 2: Of BT?

01:37:21
Speaker 5: Like, what were some of the shows that you was tapped in with?

01:37:23
Speaker 4: Like is that none of us grew up and you couldn't go in our homes and not see BT on television?

01:37:28
Speaker 2: But what were some of your earliest memories of BT?

01:37:30
Speaker 21: Oh?

01:37:30
Speaker 22: I mean, the biggest moment is the first time I'm laying in the bed with a girl that I spent the night with. She was a dancer. Shout out to her. Okay, I wake up in her bed. I think it was my first time being with a dancing Okay, with a dancer in that capacity, and.

01:37:53
Speaker 3: Of course cuddling.

01:37:54
Speaker 2: Of course, of course you know we don't, right, right, who does that?

01:37:59
Speaker 5: I'm all right, nobody from Trinida whatever.

01:38:01
Speaker 2: Do throw that thing away? And she wakes me up? Like you on TV?

01:38:08
Speaker 22: And I'm on BT jams and they're playing it like back to back to back and I was like, oh man, because I grew up looking at bet jams and so you know, that was like the first little piece of all Right. No, I think it's something that's changing in my life and it's all for the better because people are happy for me, people who don't know me.

01:38:27
Speaker 2: She didn't know me, right, you know what I'm saying. But when I came in that shop club, it felt like she did right and we spent the night together, so we did. We don't cut it exactly.

01:38:37
Speaker 5: You gotta cut it all night, and you gotta cut all.

01:38:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, you know we have people like you know, rest in peace to Virgil. Currently with Salahi and everything that he's doing.

01:38:47
Speaker 5: What what is brand.

01:38:48
Speaker 3: Partnerships with fashion missing right now with the actual creatives and designers currently in twenty twenty five, because I feel like we catch a going like with SALAYI, what he's doing is amazing, but there's so much disconnect between.

01:39:02
Speaker 22: There's only so many spots until more people make brands that are successful. The brands that are successful could only pick so many black people to do it. It's not like it's a black brand. People just want black support, but it's a white brand if it's owned by white person, it's a white brand, and then that's real. That's fine, that's only fine. Like if a white person owns it, that was made for his people, how whatever. But if other people support, we have beat the matrix because now I get black money and white money. But a white person could always get white money. A black person can't always get white money, you know what I'm saying. And so I said that to say, has more brands come to life or whatever, you'll be able to see more people of culture and get a chance to add to the repertoire. But if you're expecting Nike to catch every Trinidad James type of cultural person to do something, you're gonna be pissed, how whatever, because.

01:39:48
Speaker 2: There's only so many times they can.

01:39:50
Speaker 22: There's only so many spots they have a lotted for people of color or people of culture, the ones that matter in the culture, and they could be a black person, white person or whatever. Like sometimes they just miss the ball, you know, but when they get it right, we'd be happy. You know, when Joe Freshca is getting a chance, that's yeah, that's that's dope, man. That's over delivering for New Balance, like going absolutely Jordan's crazy.

01:40:13
Speaker 2: They look like Chicago is on fire. I can again consistently, you know.

01:40:20
Speaker 22: So, I'm a perspective person, man, and I'm the super realist. People only doing what they can, how whatever. Just because somebody is worth it, that don't mean that do you have to do it?

01:40:33
Speaker 3: Who are some of your favorite black designers and favorite black brands right now on the fashion I enjoy.

01:40:41
Speaker 22: R g B there from Atlanta. I like another young brand called Lemons on Fire. They're from Atlanta.

01:41:35
Speaker 5: I didn't I didn't notice when.

01:41:37
Speaker 4: Now you know, we obviously first got into Trinidad James's music, but you are very Your tasting sneakers is very unique. Like I've caught a lot of your clips online and I'm like, damn, I wouldn't think that Trinidad was that tapped in when it came.

01:41:52
Speaker 2: To the sneaker coaches.

Speaker 5: What's your absolute favorite sneaker of all time?

01:42:51
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

01:42:51
Speaker 22: So you know it's not always about you know, big brands only have so much space. Every brand only has so much space to let in our cold. It's about more people, like new brands like Hokah and Solomon and on Cloud and all these new brands is coming. You just got to see more of those, and then you'll see more people that you think like, oh damn, she deserves a shot. He deserves a shot. Why this person don't have a shoe yet? Need more shoe companies?

01:43:18
Speaker 3: Before we let you go, I know you're going to be biased, but I still want to ask this question between Jamaica, Trinidad and Guyana, who makes the best curry chicken.

01:43:32
Speaker 2: Trinidad? And I was going to be biased regardless. I be looking at my shirt.

01:43:41
Speaker 6: This is a red shirt.

01:43:43
Speaker 2: A red shirt, bro.

01:43:47
Speaker 12: Yeah.

01:43:47
Speaker 22: But when we got our independence as a country in Trinidad, the first workforce that was was that came to Trinidad was Indians from India.

01:43:57
Speaker 2: Yes, so they brought the recipes with him.

01:43:59
Speaker 22: So we have mad Indians in triny So you can't make curry chicken better than Indians. We have more Indians in the other islands, right, Oh, so Jamaica and Jamaica's curry is going to be a spicy one.

01:44:10
Speaker 2: Guyana. They're really good cooks. There are some of my favorite chefs.

01:44:13
Speaker 5: Heavy Indian population, you know what I'm saying.

01:44:17
Speaker 2: But I just I think that trainy I think because of our Indian population.

01:44:20
Speaker 5: I think y'all.

01:44:21
Speaker 3: Y'all are the perfect middle between Jamaican curry and Guyanese like it's the perfect.

01:44:26
Speaker 5: Mix trinidatte though, by the way, I.

01:44:29
Speaker 3: Mean bias on the guy in the east side, but I do think they have perfected both of those.

01:44:33
Speaker 2: Why are you biased on the guy on the east side. It's got to be a girl.

01:44:37
Speaker 5: It's definitely what do you think it was?

01:44:40
Speaker 2: These women? Man, they got us, many got us.

01:44:44
Speaker 5: I love my homies, char.

01:44:49
Speaker 8: Woman.

01:44:49
Speaker 2: It's a tournament.

01:44:51
Speaker 3: Jim Jonson, I love kool aid. I went to Georgetown University. That was so many on tendras. I should be a rapper anyway, Yes, yes, yes, I will say you guys have the best carnival and it's probably not even close.

01:45:06
Speaker 5: Top of the top carnival yet top that is if we do it? Is that even like debatable at this point. I mean people from Brazil might have something to say about that.

01:45:13
Speaker 2: But in the West Indies, like Bristol has more people. So if you have more people, you have more power. Period. Yeah you got it. But Indian, if you're not Brazil, we are number one half created this steel pan.

01:45:25
Speaker 22: Yeah, like that's the last hand instrument that's got developed and the main created the last than the twentieth century exact.

01:45:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm Trinidad Carnival, big vibes Massa.

01:45:37
Speaker 3: I know you spent so much time in New York. How much did you really tap in with the West Indian culture in.

01:45:44
Speaker 2: On and off? Like am I am? My artist?

01:45:46
Speaker 14: Time?

01:45:47
Speaker 2: I spent way more time when I was young, Bro, I didn't have no Green card. I wasn't tapped in to having fun. You don't know me. I'm right now, Yeah I was.

01:46:00
Speaker 22: I'm saying so, like, as a young person, and when you grow up in a Trinity household, you don't have to go out there looking for more validation from other Caribbeans because my household was Caribbean and I was really born in it.

01:46:09
Speaker 2: You know, my father's born in Tobago. My mother's born in Trinidad.

01:46:12
Speaker 9: You know.

01:46:13
Speaker 22: When we came to this country, went to Jacksonville, Florida. Then we got down the hard times. We came to Queens, New York and we lived with my uncle. That's more trainees. So I'm in little Trinidad inside of my uncle's house who passed away.

01:46:23
Speaker 2: Rest Uncle Eddie, you know.

01:46:26
Speaker 3: So.

01:46:26
Speaker 22: But now as an entertainer, you know, being able to be front, like last year I hosted the.

01:46:30
Speaker 2: Caribbean the Music Awards. I got presented an award. They hit me up to do that. It's like I took pride in that.

01:46:36
Speaker 22: You know, I showed up looking like it because it is a big deal to be Trinidad James. You know the things that I go through that are not good, but make it through and still have good energy to give to other people and still do things of power. That shows the resilience of a Triney. It shows what type of character Trinidad is a built with. So I'm just thankful to be Trinidad did and be born then, bro, Yeah.

01:46:58
Speaker 5: That's a beautiful way to absolutely slew to that God.

01:47:01
Speaker 4: Trinidad James, pleasure me and you pleasure sitting there to watch twenty twenty five.

01:51:08
Speaker 27: I'm excited here and look I got a curveball pause. Angela Simmons aka Angela Renee. She got something that she's doing is not rapping or singing, but it's something very interesting. She could probably tell y'all more. But we got a record with Jada. It's about the drop. I got a partnership with her as well.

Speaker 2: This is about the drop. Don't worry about this coming soon.

01:51:30
Speaker 5: How did this connection happen?

01:51:32
Speaker 2: Man? You know when I was at Atlantic yall.

01:51:35
Speaker 27: Y'all remember I was working Atlantic and working at the Empire, and like, after I sold a portion of my catalog, I was just like, man, I want to invest in, like really build my own thing because I've had an opportunity to break other artists with my sound and with my vibe. Y'all know, I was doing the flips and everybody kind of came and like got on that type of time. So like right now, the really importance to me as a producer is to break these artists with my own sound, with what we're doing, what we're creating in the studio twenty four to seven, So it's a new journey.

01:52:01
Speaker 2: I'm excited.

01:52:04
Speaker 3: Outside of just being a producer on the exec side. While you're making these records, what are you keeping in mind? Because you you've broken a lot of artists, You've revamped a lot of legends careers.

01:52:14
Speaker 5: What is in your mind when you're actually making these records?

01:52:17
Speaker 2: What would or do?

01:52:19
Speaker 8: No?

01:52:21
Speaker 5: Because I know you lying.

01:52:25
Speaker 3: Constantly when I play something like you know I love it, but you ain't gonna.

01:52:28
Speaker 2: Like since we want to talk about bullshit? Why did Rory do that with hit Boy? Oh? Let's talking about why did Rory do that?

01:52:35
Speaker 5: I'm glad we we we definitely, uh sort of had a reconciliation.

01:52:40
Speaker 3: I think Clemens put us on for sure. So here's here's the thing which I did apologize.

01:52:45
Speaker 2: I'm like, Rory's my friend. Why would you do this?

01:52:47
Speaker 5: Okay, I went about something wrong. I will miss I will always admit when I'm wrong. I can't remember none of this shit.

01:52:52
Speaker 3: I'll break it down in a very quick way. So I was in with hit Boy in Baisley. Okay, he played me his him at Alchemist's Project and on one of the records he was doing like his control version of producers He's saying everyone's name and certain stuff. He said it was all in good fun. It was not like no b shit. So I called Berg. Thought I was doing the right thing because this is my man's is his family. I was like, yo, hip boy has this joint, like are you cool? And here's the thing. Here's where I fucked up. I left out a part that in my mind didn't matter that much until he broke it down to me and I realized I was wrong. He brought up a certain situation that happened in Burg's past in that in the jab. I can see why Berg was mad that I posted it. I thought it was in good I was like with him, told him what it was. But then when you explained the shit to me later, like though, he's talking about an event that's not funny to me, I was like, you're right, I did fuck up in that regard. I thought it was good fun and didn't take into consideration that specific part of it.

01:53:53
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I was I was wrong. We love everybody, we love hit boy.

01:53:56
Speaker 27: He's not on the radio and I'm on the radio twenty four to seven, and that's just what the reality of things is.

01:54:01
Speaker 2: Sea Burg. Yeah, we just got to a good space.

01:54:05
Speaker 5: Here was my thing too, Like it was off the the heels of you doing the hot ninety seven shit right, And I.

01:54:10
Speaker 27: Wasn't saying nothing wrong. I just said, I make radio records.

01:54:12
Speaker 2: He's a legend. I love him.

01:54:14
Speaker 12: Boy.

01:54:14
Speaker 27: We've talked before, We've talked about collabbing all the other stuff. I said, My forte is radio records.

01:54:20
Speaker 2: That's what I do.

01:54:21
Speaker 27: Niggas in Paris, he got legendary records. Ain't nobody taking nothing from him.

01:54:25
Speaker 5: But you over here, he's doing that.

01:54:26
Speaker 2: And he took it and went and ran left with it. You know what I'm saying.

01:54:30
Speaker 26: We do that.

01:54:30
Speaker 4: We do that often, man Like it's all just like we ego. Miscommunication sometimes just happens. And but I mean obviously like y'all are both legends in every aspect of the word hit maker, hit boy.

01:54:42
Speaker 5: I mean, shit, do my album either one of you niggas, please.

01:54:44

02:00:07
Speaker 2: Some time off.

02:00:08
Speaker 4: I'm guessing from your from your training schedule to be here at the BET Awards somewhat.

02:00:13
Speaker 15: I worked out this morning, Okay, I'll leave.

02:00:16
Speaker 5: Here, Okay, Oh two days, yeah, shorty, don't stand a chance.

02:00:20
Speaker 9: Jul twenty sixth, Clarista working out, coming to the media room, and then going back to work out.

02:00:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.

02:00:27
Speaker 3: We were talking to a lot of artists in the media room today about how important it is to not only be an artist, but you also have to know how to promote your music. Is it the same way in the fight world of not only do you have to be an amazing athlete, you have to be an amazing promoter. Is that something that's on the top of your mind as much as working out is.

02:00:45
Speaker 21: It's not my mind as much as working out is, but I know that it's very important. And I think that it's not just about promoting the fight, but promoting your brand. So my brand is greatest woman of all time to quote, right, And so with that, it's like, I have to give you the quote of everything.

02:00:58
Speaker 15: I have to come here.

02:00:59
Speaker 21: I have to look really good, Like this morning, I had on a beater, I had on some shorts, I was running, I'm sweaty, I had my braiding, and then I show up here.

02:01:09
Speaker 15: And I'm looking like a model type stuff.

02:01:11
Speaker 16: So you have to know how to balance it out. But for me, it's like.

02:01:16
Speaker 21: I have to promote all that, you know what I'm saying. So I'm promoting the fight, I'm promoting myself. I'm promoting my brand. And your brand will outlive your career anyway. That's just the truth about it.

02:01:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, what is some of the things Coloristian Shields is doing away from the fight game, Like, obviously you've dominated women's boxing. We all know the legend that you are on that field, but What are some of the things that Closes Shield is doing that most people have no idea about.

02:01:41
Speaker 21: I think that they have no idea that I have one hundred and seventy five thousand subscribers on YouTube.

02:01:46
Speaker 16: They have no idea. But I make money off YouTube.

02:01:48
Speaker 2: I'm streaming.

02:01:52
Speaker 5: I pray a lot, Okay.

02:01:54
Speaker 15: I love karaoke.

02:01:55
Speaker 3: Okay, And first of all, what's your go to karaoke? To carry Return of the Back and Last Train to Georgia is my those are my two go to night?

02:02:04

Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Training Georgia, Yeah, that's my.

02:02:11
Speaker 5: Go to what's your go to karaoke?

02:02:12

Speaker 16: Tina Turner, what's love got to do with it?

02:02:15
Speaker 5: Okay?

02:02:16
Speaker 16: Hey listening? As soon as you get to the karaoke spot, I'm like, hey, you know what?

02:02:21
Speaker 5: You know who just entered the spot?

02:02:24
Speaker 11: Right?

02:02:24
Speaker 5: So we have to BT Awards twenty twenty five.

02:02:27
Speaker 2: Growing up in Flint.

02:02:28
Speaker 5: What was some of the shows that Clarissa was watching on BT?

02:02:31
Speaker 11: Oh?

02:02:31
Speaker 16: My god, I grew up watching one O six in Park.

02:02:33
Speaker 4: Okay, mister one O six by While Jermain I Pree will be performing at the BT, Yeah.

02:02:39
Speaker 15: That's what's up.

02:02:42
Speaker 21: I watched the BT Awards. Yeah, I'm freaking watched Nickelodeon. I watched a lot of stuff on BT. I can't even It's so many things that don't really exist.

02:02:53
Speaker 5: No work with the rapt City's gone, I mean the one on six revent.

02:02:58
Speaker 21: It was so much stuff that I watched from But definitely I remember, like all the award shows, the Grammys, you know what I'm saying, Like I watched all.

02:03:06
Speaker 15: That stuff growing up.

02:03:08
Speaker 3: Can you speak to the state of Michigan and what it means to professional boxing?

02:03:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's Michigan is known.

02:03:15
Speaker 16: Yeah, for the Michigan is a fight you know.

02:03:19
Speaker 21: And I have said that Flint is shaped like a glove, so it's definitely shaped like Flint.

02:03:24
Speaker 16: Is definitely a fight town.

02:03:28
Speaker 21: I think that it takes the right fighters to bring fight fans together inside of Michigan.

02:03:34
Speaker 15: So before me, it was Tommy Hearns. I think Tony Harrison had.

02:03:38
Speaker 21: Some things he was doing, you know, Joe Lewis is from there, Segret Robinson, he had some great fighters.

02:03:45
Speaker 15: But I'm the first female from Detroit to actually.

02:03:47
Speaker 21: Bring the eyes that I've brought absolutely, and I mean well, I'm from Flynn, but to bring it to Detroit, and I feel like it's just a huge fight town. If I fight in Flint, Detroit, or any of the surrounding areas, the fight go crazy, you know. So it's definitely a fight town. And we have some of the best fighters in the world that come out of Michigan.

02:04:05
Speaker 5: So July twenty six, you all fighting in Detroit.

02:04:08
Speaker 15: Yeah, at Lucy's Arena nine crag Rick Ross.

02:04:11
Speaker 5: Is walking me out, I know, I know it's gonna be sold out.

02:04:15
Speaker 3: Is it gonna be an original record or is he doing one of the regular Ross records?

02:04:19
Speaker 5: Is he something scratch on the walk out? Is he gonna be rapping?

02:04:22
Speaker 2: Yeah?

02:04:23
Speaker 16: What do you mean from scratch?

02:04:24
Speaker 5: Is it a new song?

02:04:25
Speaker 21: No, it's not a new song. No, no, No, It's gonna be a few different ones. I'm gonna mix him up up in the collago.

02:04:31
Speaker 2: I love that.

02:04:32
Speaker 21: I don't even know which song because it takes a certain song to get me ready for a fight.

02:04:36
Speaker 3: Listen, I know, I mean with with the Detroit BMF connection, like, I feel like I feel like has to be the one.

02:04:43
Speaker 16: Are you very smart?

02:04:44
Speaker 2: You gotta do that right?

02:04:45
Speaker 3: A low Caesars, like you have to do. You got to at least start with BMF. But I love the idea of doing a metal leave a bunch of different ross records.

02:04:51
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, so so fighting at home in Detroit. Obviously, everybody's anticipating what you're gonna do. July twenty sixth. We all have you winning by knockout? Yeah, how are you preparing yourself mentally just to go out there in front of the hometown and perform and put on the show.

02:05:08
Speaker 15: Honestly, I just trained my heart, like I work out very very hard.

02:05:12
Speaker 16: I like to be focused. I block out a whole lot of noise.

02:05:14
Speaker 21: Like it may look like I entertain noise, But honestly, if I do something for a second on social media, like once I cut it off, I don't really think about it no more Like I'm not sitting on social media for hours going back and forth with people reading the comments, like I really just own it.

02:05:32
Speaker 16: If I see something, I'm like whoa whoop, and then I get off.

02:05:35
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

02:05:35
Speaker 21: But I'm leaning more of leaning more towards the positive side and just outside of the ring, and I'm working. I'm working on so many different things like I am so close to getting that twenty million and thirty million dollar deal, you know, endorsement that I really can't give my energy to a bad thing like I give like the good things and to my fighting, you know, and knowing that everybody up in Detroit and Flint and in Michigan and just around the world who support me. It's looking forward to me fight. I want to perform like it's okay, okay.

02:06:04
Speaker 15: I fight like a guy.

02:06:05
Speaker 2: Sure, I take it. Yeah, but it's like.

02:06:10
Speaker 5: That takes work absolutely.

02:06:12
Speaker 21: You know, anybody can get beat, So for me, it's like I don't ever want to get beat. I want to beat everybody. And to knock these girls out takes a lot because they come in they don't really have what I have, so they want to take what I have. So I just kind of put my energy toward that and making sure that I'm mentally well because it's hard to be mentally well in the world that we live in.

02:06:31
Speaker 13: So I fought with depression before.

02:06:33
Speaker 21: And anxiety and all that stuff. So I've been able to conquer those things. But you can't conquer it if you're.

02:06:39
Speaker 13: Focused on negativity.

02:06:40
Speaker 21: You have to focus on our positive things and countra blessings like I have a lot to be happy about, more than I have to be to be upset about.

02:06:47
Speaker 4: Now, what are you doing as far as like for the young girls that want to come up in the fight game, Like are you mentioning any girls? Do you do work like directly one on one? You have any organizations directed towards young girls and fight?

02:06:58
Speaker 15: So my father want to see.

02:07:00
Speaker 21: Three is Shields Community Irish Corporation and I trained over two thousand and three thousand kids in Flynt, Michigan.

02:07:05
Speaker 15: And I use that corporation to do like big Christmas.

02:07:07
Speaker 21: Giveaways, Thanksgiving giving ways, hats and coach giveaways, Easter giveaways, Easter egg hunt bikes I wasn't able to do. I've kind of been on palls for this year because I'm getting everything that I need to get in my life together. But as far as in every year before now, I have done that every year and that's more of what I do. So I am going to get back more into training kids. And I don't just train girls. I train the boys too. So my little niece, she's five years old, she boxes. My nephew, Bradford is eleven. He boxes my little nephew Gemini.

02:07:42
Speaker 16: He's eight.

02:07:43
Speaker 15: He not to fight too, but he won't do gymnastics, so whatever, that's a combo.

02:07:49
Speaker 5: So I could do gymnastics. It's the most dangerous.

02:07:53
Speaker 15: He talked about he taught himself how to do a backflip.

02:07:55
Speaker 21: So this dude is pretty special, you know, and how to ride a bike Gymni is very very special.

02:08:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.

02:08:02
Speaker 16: I like training kids.

02:08:03
Speaker 15: So I was training kids from the ages of.

02:08:05
Speaker 16: Eight till sixteen.

02:08:07
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

02:08:08
Speaker 3: Before we let you go, I have mixed feelings on the YouTube celebrity boxing thing, the exhibition fights.

02:08:16
Speaker 5: How do you feel about that entire thing?

02:08:18
Speaker 3: I think it does bring a lot of money and attention to boxing in a time when it's been odd of what's being promoted and what's not.

02:08:25
Speaker 5: So I think it does some good. But it's also amateur fighters.

02:08:29
Speaker 3: That are probably getting more money than professional fighters at the current moment. How have you felt about that? And my last follow up question, Jake Paul round one, you think you knock them out?

02:08:39
Speaker 21: Okay, so you say first your first question, Listen, it is boxer's job to build their brands. Yeah, and that's something that I actually learned from Jake Paul, like, I didn't learn about their brand. But I'm like, at to ask myself, how did the dude come out of YouTube and start boxing and make all this money?

02:08:56
Speaker 5: Incredible businessman.

02:08:57
Speaker 15: I got seventeen year old titles.

02:08:59
Speaker 16: I won the Olympics not once, but twice twice.

02:09:02
Speaker 21: I got seventeen year old titles, five different divisions undisputed four different times.

02:09:06
Speaker 15: So I'm like, how is he making millions of dollars and I'm making only a meal?

02:09:10
Speaker 16: So I had to see.

02:09:12
Speaker 21: You know, I'm I'm very very smart, and I'm and I'm a and I'm an observer, so I'm observing. I'm like, yo, he built his brand off of YouTube with one million subscribers, and then he just came to boxing and said, hey, all all my fans from YouTube, comes support me in boxing because boxing is all about putting asses.

02:09:28
Speaker 16: And cease to be honest with you, how to make our money. So to see that he did that and he's.

02:09:33
Speaker 21: Really good at promo, and I said, that's all I'm missing. So I added that to my joint. And that's why you see me now with the one point four million followers, I don't be trying to get in the beef on social media.

02:09:44
Speaker 15: Behave it comes, it is what it is.

02:09:48
Speaker 5: Boxing promo is yeah, beef.

02:09:51
Speaker 21: Listen, all press is good press. What they say is how you spent it, and you know so that's just what I've learned. So I don't think it's a bad thing. I think that he's teaching boxing. The bill Drop brand is very important. Some people don't want to build their brand. They like they just want to fight me. I want to fight, I want to win. I want to have my brand, and I won't make men outside the ring.

02:10:11
Speaker 3: Also, yeah, I mean the Paul brothers, even when we give them flack, I do appreciate that they have taken like the sports seriously. Like I think they're both great amateur fighters, but they're great fighters.

02:10:21
Speaker 15: Listen. I don't have nothing against Jake Paul, but he's smoking dope.

02:10:25
Speaker 16: If you think you be me in a fight, that it is what it is.

02:10:30
Speaker 3: I don't take it all this last around, and I don't think you ever doing one of those uh invisible contracts where we decide it's gonna go eight.

02:10:39
Speaker 5: If he if he first of all, no knockout.

02:10:42
Speaker 21: First of all, Pat Poots will never allow me to get inside the ring. With the man to actually fight them.

02:10:46
Speaker 3: Have Pat beating Jake bowl in the first round. Bruh, I'm telling you I've seen.

02:10:51
Speaker 2: That anyway, got.

02:10:55
Speaker 16: Like he got he got, he got one like me, he criticize.

02:10:59
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm there for the Jake plorician shields, just just a face off. I don't really see y'all getting ring, but I would love to see y'all just go back.

02:11:06
Speaker 16: He gottaspire me a some wing.

02:11:10
Speaker 21: Talk like you can't really do something with the quoat and it's like, listen, my man, Yeah, where you got that from?

02:11:15
Speaker 16: But something ain't clicking, like one and two.

02:11:17
Speaker 21: He's skipping the number like like one, like one five, like it's one two.

02:11:23
Speaker 9: Three money right right right, Well, I'm gonna ahead of congratulations on the BT win.

Speaker 9: It wasn't that, it's how niggas say it. Okay, how do you how do you view how he said it? I feel like how nigga say it's slighted. It's like nigga saying to get the clicks instead of it being like, oh no, that ain't me it is it is it is my team. No, I don't they be trying to get me to say ship be like that's one person I know that don't do.

02:13:42
Speaker 2: That job to be like nah, I don't do that, I'm not for click. What about the drink? What about the drake blazing, what about it? That ain't for the clicks?

02:13:52
Speaker 5: Na, okay, No, I'm not.

02:13:55
Speaker 9: I'm gonna say a nigga, I'm gonna say drink is talented. I'm not gonna kill ind I do. I didn't like that do one song?

02:14:03
Speaker 2: You did?

02:14:03
Speaker 11: Not?

02:14:04
Speaker 9: They killing me now because they said about mister Morale and he's like, Yo, this shit is incredible.

02:14:09
Speaker 5: The contract was incredible.

02:14:11
Speaker 2: I said over that. But because I said I didn't like, not like us because I'm not Jack and Cole, I'm not. I'm not, I'm not.

02:14:17
Speaker 9: I'm not opposed to nigga be like, I don't like this. So it was that's not only here, that only here's the current. They never they forgot about what I said about Kendrick before the battle.

02:14:25
Speaker 2: But once the battle happened. It's the same with academics. But that's my nigga. I got a round with my If we've played ball right now, you're gonna root for the other, You're.

02:14:32
Speaker 5: Gonna root with your marrit.

02:14:33
Speaker 3: In fact, that's always been my issue where where the narrative has gotten lost with everything that Mal has been saying, because Ma has been big enough Kendrick since I met her, So when this happened, obviously U t d e us coast and no matter what happens with Kendrick, you should. So why when it comes on this side, that's his man's for but it's allowed, that's.

02:14:51
Speaker 2: My man's for real, and that's what I respect. That what I'm saying when out, So.

02:14:55
Speaker 5: That's not clay.

02:14:56
Speaker 3: You supporting your actual friend is not glazing to me. That's why I like that blazing. I think that ship is weird. Also, I think that word is lazy. Using that word is lazy. Lay something else, Yeah, you can use something else.

02:15:07
Speaker 2: Alright.

02:15:07
Speaker 5: Cool, you're supporting your man.

02:15:09
Speaker 2: Just like you were supporting that. I'm supporting Drake.

02:15:12
Speaker 16: That's all.

02:15:14
Speaker 2: Right around. I'm gonna let niggas have it right. What I'm saying.

02:15:18
Speaker 9: The only thing I feel like it's the Internet clicks is all right, That's what's gonna get niggas talking and me.

02:15:24
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, let's go viral.

02:15:25
Speaker 5: Okay, let's go viral.

02:15:27
Speaker 2: I am still up and.

02:15:28
Speaker 9: Coming artists, but I'm also like one of them, and I know that a lot of rap niggas can't fuck with me period.

02:15:35
Speaker 2: Like we're talking rap rap niggas can't fuck with me.

02:15:38
Speaker 9: So I'm gonna be like, all right, show if a niggas jump out the face, I'm any back phase. Anybody who feel like they're gonna talk crazy, I'm gonna talk great. We can keep it hip hop or not. But for me, I'm not saying I'm believing. I'm not talking about you're talking about general, like in general, like we'll give you ay or not in this space of like hip hop is like okay, everybody gonna get Yeah, that's where IVN we come from, where it's like all right, So I'm gon shoot at everybody who feel like they got something to say right period.

02:16:03
Speaker 4: But the moment that we got from that with you know, with Joey Badass and you and codcast and Reason, we were talking with everybody.

02:16:09
Speaker 2: This week just done this. Uh not include daylight.

02:16:13
Speaker 27: Oh no, I'm not.

02:16:14
Speaker 5: I'm not assuming that light. I just think that light disappeared after everything happened.

02:16:20
Speaker 2: Am I right or wrong?

02:16:21
Speaker 14: You?

02:16:21
Speaker 9: Outside, Reason, outside, Cadcast outside, We ain't seen light yet. We yet, but like always been for a week that was teammates. We've been teammates for like I know that nigga se battle Rapp. We loved, we loved it like that nigga Light feel like he did what he had to do. That was his mission and that's that way. The way he closed it out, I felt like Light. That was good, you know, because then y'all get to be like, yeah, he washed, he.

02:16:48
Speaker 2: He shot that nigga. That nigga.

02:16:50
Speaker 5: Man, I do still feel like Joey washed?

02:16:53
Speaker 2: On?

02:16:53
Speaker 14: What on?

02:16:53
Speaker 3: What on?

02:16:54
Speaker 11: What on?

02:16:54
Speaker 2: What degree?

02:16:55
Speaker 3: Just what if you're getting jumped and you hit at least three people putting down, you would.

02:17:00
Speaker 2: That's when I sit on the internet. This is what I said.

02:17:01
Speaker 9: I said, this is why I'm missing right now because it's like twenty niggas attacking one nigga. I don't give a fuck if that niggas still standing. When you niggas walk away, he gonna always look like the winner. And I'm not I'm not oblivious to that fact to be like, damn all right in that battle, he's gonna look like that because nigga, he's still shooting, just records, he's dropping his fire. And I'm not a hater. My favorite one is Finals Crash Dummy. I love the hook and the beat. I don't know about the verses. You know what I'm saying.

02:17:31
Speaker 2: But as far as like rap I made that Nigga rap again.

02:17:36
Speaker 3: See, I'm not mad at you, even if he would disagree, I'm not mad at that take. I feel like you should feel that way. And I know you don't listen to our show outside of the clips.

02:17:43
Speaker 2: I do listen to you, I said I did.

02:17:45
Speaker 9: That's why I was like, I'll be going I'm very very analytical and I'm going to like diving in. So when I again, like I just told you off camera, if I respond just because I actually feel a way, I'm not gonna respond to niggas. I'd be like, I don't give a fuck. And it's not like y'all little niggas, you know what I'm saying. So I'll be like, all right, say what the same way niggas gonna say what they gotta say. I'm just not a podcast niggas, so I'm not gonna say it in a conversation. It's gonna tweet and niggas who don't know me, they're gonna take it as like oh when it's like if you meet me in person, I'll be like I said the same ship I said, but you probably won't take it as this and I'm a funny ass nigga, So I'm a crack You get what I'm saying.

02:18:20
Speaker 2: That's just what it is.

02:18:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean we we had said, based off with Mall saying with daylight kind of being quiet after the entire thing, we confident it. I thought you putting out that live performance in the midst of that entire thing on YouTube was the perfect move. Like we went back and forth of who's the real winners this and that? Did Joey wash them up? Yeah, that's that's for fun and that's rap talk. But the way you've capitalized off putting on the ship on God has been put my stocks up. That's what it's supposed to do. And so I founded that this one. I'm saying healthy rap.

02:18:48
Speaker 9: It's healthy rap. A lot of niggas on the internet beyond because I feel like this is.

02:18:52
Speaker 2: What it is.

02:18:53
Speaker 9: Niggas hate Drake so much or niggas hate not so much. It's gonna be a clear division. I'm tde a bone. So the niggas who don't like us, they gonna get under the comments talking ship even if it's not Drake is Joey. So they're gonna team Joey. Niggas who don't like everything but TV. Yeah, that's what it's gonna be. So I'm not mad at that. Where it comes down to like understanding how this changes the trajectory of my career though, I'm very understanding. That's why I want combat with niggas. That's and for the most part, we have most media's talking about rap.

02:19:28
Speaker 2: Now who nigga?

02:19:29
Speaker 8: Now?

02:19:30
Speaker 2: Who text message? We got more money? Who got the biggest shame? We had niggas talking about rap.

02:19:34
Speaker 5: Who Daylight really is?

02:19:36
Speaker 2: Yeah?

02:19:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, so real.

02:19:38
Speaker 2: Even if you don't like the records, you like these niggas rapping and.

02:19:41
Speaker 5: Hearing about the people that know about Light.

02:19:43
Speaker 3: That was our first thing before Joey dropped finally clip me and Maw was like, I don't know, Joey, want that problem.

02:19:48
Speaker 2: Bro, nigga. When I heard my town you got, I want to phone with niggas.

02:19:55
Speaker 9: Hey, this nigga drop nigg fucker. Man, I'm in the hotel called Looks and this nigga called Luck. I didn't even listen to this song. I'm just hot and I'm like, all right, all right, this nigga got Lucks. I'm gonna go get Snoop Dogg. I got look at somebody like crazy out the man?

02:20:15
Speaker 5: What made you want to flip back down?

02:20:19
Speaker 2: Fifty my favorite New York artists? Really? Yeah, Okay, I.

02:20:23
Speaker 9: Don't feel like there's nobody from New York better than fifty. Okay, Artist Street, Like, I know you're saying from me, fifty my favorite New York artists, And I'm.

02:20:31
Speaker 2: Like, if I get him, I gotta get him. I gotta get him on some ship that's like fifty and back down.

02:20:35
Speaker 9: It's like I'm the underdog. Niggas keep forgetting that that nigga Joey is a vat period. I'm not the nigga that's gonna take we rapping. So I'm a disrespect and I'm a disrespectful motherfucker, especially when I used to battle rap. I'm talking about dead people. I'm going to me, there's no limit. You can say whatever you want to say to me. If gage in battle, if it's like we ain't engaged, then it's like it might be taking this disrespect. But we engaged in battle. I'm putting myself on platform for a motherfucker to say whatever the fuck they're gonna say.

02:21:04
Speaker 5: And I look like a bitch.

02:21:05
Speaker 9: If I might, I want to kill this nigga because he mentioned my you know what I'm saying, So to me, I'm like, it's wrap, so don't take nothing off the table. Dandie angles on the table, Streekross on the table, baby, or you're on the table. It was on the girl on the table. Everything is on the table when it comes down to wrap battles. For me, I'm gonna be disrespectful.

02:21:25
Speaker 2: Afterwards.

02:21:26
Speaker 9: We could shake hands like nothing, you know what I'm saying, So to me, it's just all right, help me, help small.

02:21:31
Speaker 3: And you know, we were talking about it every day for that week on the podcast, but now we're speaking to somebody that was in that battle. Yeah, we could only speculate how people were deciding on who to reply to and who not to reply to.

02:21:43
Speaker 5: Cause I love that everyone got in the mix, everyone started wrapping. I like that idea.

02:21:45
Speaker 3: I feel like it made it money. It got money towards the end. But like anything in this era, like once something starts to pop, everyone's gonna follow.

02:21:53
Speaker 5: So how did you decide on who I'm replying to and who I'm not replying?

02:21:56
Speaker 9: Because the understanding the mission of like who the fuck I'm talking to?

02:21:58
Speaker 2: Who am I mad at? I'm mad at, but like who am I who?

02:22:01
Speaker 9: My real issue is so like when it came, when it started, I'm like, he's catching a stray immediately, like a this.

02:22:07
Speaker 2: Niggas bopping around. I'm getting on this nigga immediately.

02:22:11
Speaker 9: Because I'm like, he's an advocate over here. So it's like Toy, niggas don't know me and Toy are Yeah, you gee what I'm saying this nigga, Toy called me.

02:22:21
Speaker 2: We just laughed.

02:22:22
Speaker 9: Nigga laughed and talked on the phone for like an hour and a half. The whole era has a Toy shot. But you know, I want that nigga to get better, you know what I'm saying, Like with all the ship.

02:22:34
Speaker 2: That he did be going through.

02:22:35
Speaker 9: It happened the day before I dropped, and I'm like, damn, I gotta change these lines. That's distasteful. We'll have Toy is really my friend. You get what I'm saying.

02:22:43
Speaker 2: So it's hip hop like we looking at it like, oh all right, now if I go do that and.

02:22:47
Speaker 9: Jump out the face, I jump out the face on niggas, they're gonna be like, damn, we're not friends because nigga, I'm going through some real life shit and you think it's funny to.

02:22:56
Speaker 2: Rap about it's not a bar. Yeah, it's not a bar, nigga.

02:22:58
Speaker 4: That's not I think what you did was, first of all, y'all showed that a lot of the next wave up y'all can still push the.

02:23:04
Speaker 2: Pen in really ron then y'all can also just keep it rapport.

02:23:07
Speaker 9: When we talk about niggas who killing niggas over wraps, Look, how stupid you look?

02:23:11
Speaker 3: Right?

02:23:11
Speaker 9: My stock then went up. Right, I'm getting brand calls, I'm getting other ship just for this niggas. You can do that and make money.

02:23:18
Speaker 3: You're doing that with high level wraps because that has not been profitable lately. Like the fact that you getting those calls because you was rapping, Well, it's something that.

02:23:25
Speaker 9: Needs no gimmicks, ain't no funny shit like rewrapping. So, like I said, for sport, nigga, I respect the funk out of it. I'm gonna shoot at niggas who I feel like, all right that nigg I gotta get him. Yeah, I can't let him. I got to get him.

02:23:38
Speaker 3: Like.

02:23:39
Speaker 9: So it's even if niggas don't wrap. You got a platform, right, you're gonna respond because you.

02:23:44
Speaker 4: Like who the is and I knew and we knew what it was. I was like, all right, I gotta get some of these balls. I can't wrap, so I gotta talk like this is what I do. I talk about platform. I just love the fact to see y'all get out do at each other and then talking the reason that CAI knowing that them behind the channels conversations happy. Yeah, like him Mi COYB was communicating like yo, that's I didn't talk. I didn't even hit ky. I just ran into him and I'm like, all right, But then his.

02:24:10
Speaker 2: Energy was good.

02:24:11
Speaker 9: He's a good dudething and I'm like, Nigga, you the only nigga that I felt like beyond Joey.

02:24:19
Speaker 2: I'm gonna shoot c J all day because I'm.

02:24:21
Speaker 5: Like Fair taking my New York buys off Fair.

02:24:27
Speaker 6: I get it.

02:24:30
Speaker 2: All day.

02:24:32
Speaker 9: I get it, bro that nigga should have that nigga said he was in the twenty v one after you responded, that's actually funny.

02:24:40
Speaker 2: Get the fuck out the way. You're not taking back fades. Yeah, I feel you. Before we let you go.

02:24:46
Speaker 3: Complex put out a list la rappers, la rappers, Well, just as a rat fan for list, how.

02:24:53
Speaker 2: Did you feel?

02:24:53
Speaker 9: I don't care about nobody list. I don't care about who felt like, who is who? They ain't put everybody gonna have their own I don't care about that either.

02:24:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's to one hundred, though.

02:25:00
Speaker 9: I feel like it is what it is. Nigga's then title to their own opinions. Me, I don't care niggas gonna put me on the list wherever they want to put me. That ain't what I feel, So it don't matter.

02:25:11
Speaker 2: So what's the next with Rayvaughon now? Post all of this? Now, it's like I capitalize, capitalize on the momentum.

02:25:19
Speaker 9: I feel like popping out, even popping out over here when niggas is like, I wouldn't even think he would go sit down with them because they think they don't know.

02:25:25
Speaker 2: It's media hip hop.

02:25:27
Speaker 9: If you ain't down, or if you take shit personal, you're gonna be broken forever. This ain't the space you might walk past a nigga who didn't even know your face, but you know your music. I don't mean you don't fuck with you. You get what I'm saying. So I'm like very very like I'm trying to be more in the public. Eyere, niggas be like, oh I see that nigga as far as tde that little nigga outside, and so capitalizing on that with like singles that's about to come out, singles on the project Good to Bat, the Dollar Menu. I didn't focus on those singles. I just made sure niggas understand the platform. However niggas receive it, and receive it now. I was like, singles, all right for a big artists. I've already done that. So it's like, all right, now we're going to focus on putting the singles out. So now I have a foundation for niggas to come back to.

02:26:09
Speaker 4: But when next time you're in New York, you got to come by the studio so we can do a real proper sit down conversation talk about all the new music you got coming out. It's a pleasure to meet you here. It's away from the internet, away from the words.

02:26:21
Speaker 2: It's just rapp.

02:26:21
Speaker 4: It's just shit talking. I respect you, love everything you're doing. And Rory and mar support Ravon.

02:26:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, my guy heard

02:26:30
Speaker 9: Eno
