Say that no more gorillas foreign thing about being in the city, my favorite thing about being a city man, I would say, man, it'd be the shopping for me like the clothes I like to just it could be did the drip because it'd be different drip, but I ain't gonna lie up top y'all got the drill I got.
We don't got like and y'all be on the drip fast.
So like y'all gonna get the swag Atlanta gonna get late y'all got this drip so I, definitely like the shop, um I like to go to the studios out here, like, you know, I mean, I like to record in different locations, too though man, but I ain't, gonna lie the drill.
The promo runs.
We had me tired as hell, but that's, the only time I come.
But this time it's been fun because it's been the energy I put in too you feel so I told you I tried to make this I'm like we're, making a fun promo run, right because it's like my fourth time every time like, oh, my God again.
So this time that's been cool though it's been cool.
It's cool man, I had time to you know shop in between today today, too I got off there tomorrow, shopping all day tomorrow.
So we're, good, you know what I'm saying all right enjoy that? Yeah, I got you man.
Enjoy that man Rock did you not put the same kind of energy into it? Before you said, like the energy that you put into it is what you get.
Now I said, first light, New York is different from Atlanta.
So my first time coming like, [, __, ], moved so fast like Atlanta's slow, but don't sleep.
And that first time like I, just wasn't prepared like I, brought one outfit, I'm doing one outfit on eight different interviews, looking like a bum and I'm like dang, I just didn't, get it.
The first time, you know what I'm saying like and every time I thought, that's how it was going to be, you know what I'm saying, but it got.
But at the same time, it got, you know what I'm saying the second time it was a little more I was a little more prepared.
The third time I still didn't like it.
But this time has been the best now, the third time I'd have been cool because this time I came more.
It wasn't.
A promo run I came and I stayed longer and I want to stay I'm in the studio on record.
And you know what I mean.
So whenever they had a promo run to school, but promo runs nah.
This is the best one ever.
This is the best time I.
Obviously think about giving me a spot in Jersey like a condo coming out for like six months or some [ __ ] because I like it I can buy if I could do my work like man like the studio, y'all got a lot of artists up here.
Everybody in the city is like it's good to work it'll be good for that part, right? You know, I mean.
And this is the first time I ever felt like that like it's.
My best time I've had in New York New York is getting more like Atlanta because you know, whenever they talk about Atlanta, they talk about how everybody goes to everybody's studio and everybody, yeah.
But the first time I've heard that, but not but y'alls is different.
So like Atlanta, like the studio, we don't have a lot of studios in you're liable to run to you off at the studio.
So a lot of our Studios man, you know, Studios, we got ourselves, you know, low-key like we got the big studios, but those are more for the out-of-towners that want to get to the studios.
Man, you know, you're still record on the tree sound, uh, cool that [ __ ], far as hell like I'm in Atlanta, like I said, far like that ain't Atlanta, you know, I mean, tree.
Somebody got a nice setup, you know, I mean, but that's in case, Like You, Know, You're, Gonna, Fly, Like, Big, Sean gonna come we're gonna we're gonna rent that or some [ __ ] because that's.
Why I was a tree sound, big son, a couple of times that's, why he like look so he like that I got to pull up a big shot and I'll.
Take that drive it's cool with that [ __ ], far man, that's, just so far out here.
I can see that that's what it would be like for when you go out of town like you ain't got no issues in the town.
So you, you know what? I mean, yeah, out of town issues.
Yeah, just catch up rest in peace.
Rest in Peace.
P, b, bro that [ __ ] is like [, __ ] like you because they favorite rapper might have them said, they don't like you.
Now you got up so it's like you gotta have extra Target.
But at the same time like I say, though man, you got to be secured man, even when like security, no security, you got to stay secure, right? You know what I'm saying like that's just period like ego.
Aside like you gotta like know how to move, especially when you're A-list artist, wow, you know, I don't care like at the same time like I don't give down like even the first time I came out here.
When I was a nobody I said, I had security then that's.
The way is this protocol supposed to be here.
Yeah, like I ain't, trying to put on man, I know, I know that it it is it's like I.
Guess, you gotta when you become an artist I think some people forget like, yo, you you're a businessman.
Now, yeah, you know what I'm saying and there's a lot of businessmen that's, not working in certain situations with some sort of security for sure if I can still be trying to like, yo, I'm, Gonna, Keep, It, Hood, I'm, Gonna, Keep it this, but really you're just putting your peoples in danger for sure man for sure that should be unless you got professionals like your managers professionals your license to carry.
Oh that's exactly right like we went to the, um, the Benny The Butcher joint.
The other night big is on the show with me, but he's still trailing me like security, I know, a little wedge or something he's like yo, ain't that this man.
But anyway, everywhere, I, go he's like this he's, not talking to nobody just like this I appreciate that you know what I mean, that's, how it's supposed to be though because of the same because like slippers count right? Slippers count, let me just take that one time.
Man, you know what I'm saying and like a city like La, that's, one of the Cities you got to be on point, right? You gotta be like, especially with it being so political in the politics out there, you know what I'm saying like that's, one spot I don't play like they said, it's, more dangerous, three o'clock in the afternoon and three o'clock.
First time I ever went to L.A I, went out there to shoot the party video.
They knew what time I landed.
They knew what hotel I was at before I landed.
Listen bro.
The first time I go out there so that so flying with t.I.g fly was like man.
We gotta go pull up on, uh, big, you so we're going to Crenshaw High School, but he got the football kids out there.
So, okay, I know, I know, Chris all the blue side.
We first pull up I, see him and whack talking.
And in my mind I don't like I thought, his blood pressure talking having a conversation.
So my mind [, __ ] up.
This is my first time going out there.
He was like, yeah, man.
We knew what time you landed.
So at the same time, I say that to say that checking in should be real.
So cause like I kid, you not my work, what y'all say word to Mother, you don't say that anymore, I ain't, paying no money.
All he wanted me to do was just take pictures with the kids, the football kids.
And it'd be a little [ __ ] like that like [, __ ] be thinking, checking, oh, you got to pay.
They just want you to show the community like you're still able to be reached.
You know what I'm saying.
So after that I went out there that time I ain't never had no problems with that first time, you know, I mean, no problems like even when I go out that's still got my dudes I, check anyway, bro I'm here, bro, if I need anything, you know, what I'm saying, you know what I'm saying, but that [ __ ] protocol, even when I come out here, I got my dudes I call it's everywhere, right? You know what? I mean, I don't be in a lot of these spots more than one time.
Bro I've been doing [, __ ] for 10 years.
So a lot of these spots I've been through three or four times so I've accumulated friends like [, __, ], I, [, __, ] with like I feel like you're.
My brother, right, you know what I'm saying so they gonna make some screen.
You know what I mean? So man, we can't, never let our guard down bro, [, __, ], the worst job in the this [ __ ] worse than being the president right now.
The president gonna know it's coming.
We don't know that is a rap you don't know, you may go, [, __ ].
So you want to piss and all man if you home got his phone, right? He just want to punch in your face to catch a moment.
Yeah, [ __, ], I thought, you want to take a picture man.
Now you don't got your stupid ass shot.
What we got a picture is like go back in your mind like, especially with you guys, you know that you know, we're the jury before you had the jury before you had to fame before you had the rap career.
Do you know how hungry you was when you was in the street.
And you was watching [ __ ] rappers is that this [ __ ], but you ain't have it yet, you know what I'm saying, listen, I used to get some phone calls go back to your own mind I used to get them phone calls yo search over here.
So I already know what it is it's on your mind it's on your mind.
So you got to think these [ __ ], even more hungrier.
Yeah, I'm, not a thief I'm, not a thief like there's, a difference between being a robber A fever's gonna creep in your home.
When you're not there exactly exactly a Robert is a reputation.
However, you want to slice it I'm, not I there's.
Something about that whole thing just to test me like I, I, detest people who do that [ __, ], yeah, you're, right.
Put your hand out to take something that belongs to somebody else you ain't earned it.
You ain't putting nothing towards it and you're gonna take something that belongs to whoever it is like that something about that whole thing, just how do you feel about taxes Mecca.
This is about the same way about the same way, not not far from the same way.
However, the belief is that the taxes are going back into services for people.
Yeah, right that's.
How I justify that now to can I sit here and tell you that every tax dollar that I pay is going towards the things that I want to see happen, absolutely so I'm so I'm tight behind that.
But for you to walk up for you to, you know, I put in all this Blood Sweat and Tears, or maybe I didn't it's, none of your business like I pocket watching and stealing like that whole [ __ ], just everybody.
Yeah, to get some blessings man.
You know, I understand 125th street.
But you got to think about the kids that come from nothing like who don't got [, __, ], that's, all they know, it's tape like man, I can go tape right? Quick like two percent think like you 98 like this, his his and I hear you I, remember the days when I was homeless I was trying to figure out what to do.
And it never crossed my mind to take from somebody else.
I have I have a Bible verse I go to big a lot with this, but there's, a Bible verse that's in my head that said, if you steal something from somebody, you have to repay it seven times seven times and other coaches that I came up around.
They cut your hand off for sure but seven times you'd almost rather lose a limb than have to pay that thing back seven times, not many people running around talking about damn I, don't know why this is happening to me.
What did you do? Did you still repaying Sevenfold? Not just the one you took it.
Imagine taking a hundred dollars and 700.
now I don't understand why I was stuck in battle, hey, but guess what this is so crazy bro I did not know bro.
You was like the golden battle right? Bro.
You were knocking [, __, ], the [ __ ] out.
So growing up I would watch like I was a fan of battle rap like the Cassidy versus the murder moves when he's in the mall, and you know, I, didn't, I think it was him a series.
I, didn't know, you knocked serious Jones.
Why you do that? Hey, this is what I'm saying cause like you gotta.
Thank me being young like that I'm taking I'm looking at y'all do them like I'm, young I'm in high school I'm amused by like I'm, watching this [ __ ] like Cassidy and freestyling like yeah, with him and murder like I was like man.
I was a fan like I thought, I was from New York that's.
Why I worked more New York hats than Atlanta has like the first video you had in New York.
All my videos like [, __, ], it's, very well and I, love Atlanta and I'm from there, but New York that's the best hat in the world.
And this ain't because I'm I'm gonna play with y'all.
They got the best logo.
The navy blue and white go with anything [ __ ] like every nobody know, I got more New York has than anything, but like I would definitely say battle.
Rap bro inspired me.
So much man just watching y'all at the bars I was just trying to turn those bars songs, right? You know what I'm saying like the like man like in the mall, when I saw him in What's called the mall.
Then when I saw you on stage bro, you hit him he's just like lean I'm, like no that's serious Jones.
One knockout like one point of that that was uh, that was a bad decision during a bad time in my life for sure I feel I I could say that you know, we all do stupid [ __ ], but I ain't gonna lie bro like when I just like looked to her I was like boy you that [ __, ], absolutely you that [ __ ] bro.
You know what I'm saying like you've been in it for a minute like I'm just thinking like, you know, when PR telling me like, you know, you're doing a math I'm like, oh, man, I, don't know, I've been looking at his stuff.
So I go like me just me being who I am.
I gotta.

He was a battle rapper on this [ __, ], I've been in I was like, oh, he didn't win that.

Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure, but I ain't gonna France looking for the first video I was like, yeah, he was sweating.
But that record that just dropped and I, remember hearing that [ __ ], all the time all the time, but I was going through some [ __ ] out there trying to get custody my daughter.
And you know what? I mean, I ran low on Brad I took a battle I.
Didn't want to take came back up to New.

The first two were if you look at it, so look I'll say so this, this will kill me.

They start trying to change put it on everybody's face, but you still can hear.
And then she said, my son, bro, they set you up [, __ ].
Why would the camera go on Fat Joe after that bro? And he always I read his lips.

I don't know what I did to VH1.
But like this man, juicy, they could have let you down I would I would like who don't know give me one I know, I feel like the winning game.
And that was more of a New York song, the ones that I'm saying, yeah, those were the universities.
You see what I'm saying right, like I know what that meant to y'all and I knew damn well, I know, I, didn't know before I got on so have my back, but you know, it's about accountability.

These are the words, but man what what song can you do? Yeah, but it was up like when Kim called she didn't, even set corn, I need you.
And this is like I said, yes, before she even tell me what she needed.
Yeah.
So if I find out what I needed I'm like, oh, I know, I know, baby, don't even worry about.
It they'll be done with it in two weeks, but I know, she don't feel no type of way, but okay, I know, I still love it like so I still give her that.
You know, what? I mean it ain't, nothing like that because I I, didn't know, right? You know what I'm saying like [, __, ], the word are supposed to still up put it like that.
Yeah, shout out to Kim recipe, um rest in peace.
The pnb, Rock, nah for real man, worship beats, the pnb rock.
What's crazy is the first time I came to New York I was the first time I, met pnb Rock, too first time.
My first promo run I think at that time he wasn't, he wasn't pnb PMB, but he was signed to Atlanta because I was on the promo room.
He was in the studio.
It was me, uh, what's, Mendeecees, what uh Mendes with Gandy.
She had the girl chicken noodle soup.
We all just buy, you know, like, you know, mama, Hello, mama, no, not chicken.
Noodle soup just Bianca, is it becoming that dangerous for rappers it's been that dangerous missing? It hasn't been that dangerous when the music became dangerous when they started changing the shooting of Bang Bang music and everybody, you know, music, that's when it became dangerous because now [, __, ], I, never heard of nobody running down on daylight.
So come on bro like you don't hear that then my soul didn't hat that where I'm wearing, you know, uh months, a month, ain't nobody's, shooting up, J, Cole's, truck, nobody's doing J, Cole, they're, not wearing that [ __ ].
But at the same time, they cold not out there talking about gangb*ng music, so I feel like look up it's time to change the narrow on my music.
Man, we changed now on the music more rappers will stop dying it's because it's about the message we give off, you know how to think no nothing, but the kids.
And these kids listen to us.
Most of the killers are coming from kids because they're listening to this.
You know, the the hop music, you know, you know, drill, music, that's, what they call it right and uh and I, ain't, I'm, not against real music, whatever you do to make your money.
But at the same time, we got to change the narrative man gotta get hit by hip hop back to hip-hop.
It used to be about man who got the hardest bars who ain't about the biggest guns, [ __ ], who got the best flow right? I mean, who got the swag again, who can pop it like mace, tonight's, one of them ones like who don't get that credit like he was on the ones too like.
Okay.
I gotta get some of this [ __ ] for amazing [ __ ] fly.
You know what I mean like that, according to the coach of God, Harlem, doesn't, really care about don't, go, no, don't, Circle back bro, hey, yo, don't do mates like that.
Because in Atlanta mace was like man, mace had all the girls growing up like he was bro.
He was on the world turned up poster before Little Kim is what I'm trying to tell you.
Yeah, like all the girls in Atlanta Love amazing to this day bro, even after he took over his hat.
All right at least which is amazing listen.
But what I'm saying is what I mean, but even on mace like his flow, it was just different like when the game like you don't gotta like you go back.
Then there was no killing going on because [ __ ] weren't talking about guns.
Let's talk about it, but it wasn't flipping a slide on right now.
I mean, he was murder mace before that.
But you know, puff kind of cleaned it up.
He was the blueprint for for a little minute.
Yeah, but what I'm saying, but he was, he was kicking like Blaze blade like right, yeah, I'm getting pedicured like he was showing the [ __ ] like yeah, I'm gonna show you how to go get a Rollie like I, ain't know about stuff like that that's, what I'm saying he put a [ __ ] down on game like what do you mean by all of my three-piece suit, you see what I'm saying like Okay, I want to hear some hip-hop that's gone.
We post a line from hip-hop like anybody can go get a gun right? Well.
They all learning they're just not learning.
Good [, __, ], I mean, if somebody still exists though, huh that music still exists, but it is.
Yeah.
I.
Didn't.
Take it from me so I took it from Whole? Yeah, it exists.
But that's.
Not what they're promoting they're promoting a drill.
You shouldn't have to go.
Look for good music.
Good music should be the one we promote.
We should have to go.
Look for Drew that's, what I'm saying, well, why do you think they're promoting the drill I'm? Sure Mecca is just dying to answer this question, but I want to hear your opinion because the labels making more money, outfit, the labels, don't care when they get out, they gonna make more when you're dead.
Anyway, you feel me right? Come on SO promote.
Yeah.
Do this one I I like the drill? Music? Man, that's lame, that's lame, I, don't, hear nothing about your mama, you're feeling, good about you.
Nah man, you know, damn.
Well, man, get that man killed, oh man, that's.
What I mean right? Man in the end they're gonna lavish on your face to you that they picking your songs for you like that's.
Why? When I was with the label like you take away? You take away your creator, control man, I like to drop when I want to drop, you know, what I'm saying, you're gonna pick my single for me you ain't, even in here for me, like the singer, you pick they're gonna think of them they're gonna thank them.
But I went pop.
Yeah, I'm gonna lose the screens.
You know what I'm saying right and that's, how I feel about the flex record that like when the dance came out with the flips like I hated that song, but it's, my biggest song to the day, I swear to God and I didn't, pick it because it wasn't a corn record I was used to, you know pain.
And and the DJ leaked, the song my biggest record.
So sometimes it happen like that, you know what I'm saying, but I'm trying I know what crowd I'm catering to I know what people I want to see at my shows the extra people you come.
If you love me, but I know, I'm catering to the people that relate to me that's who I make the music for but it's, a different way.
Because we all come from the shoot of my bang, bang, neighborhood, right, but I'm trying to show them.
We ain't got to be I ain't got to talk I, ain't cause I'm, not on that I didn't grow up like that.
I wasn't like yeah, I would burglarize I was doing on no gun.
I'm.
Kicking over my feet.
I went right? But I would give me some money right? I was in the street, but I wouldn't I ain't, never been no bully, let's rewind, then let's go back to before the deal before some type of way.
Okay on what was life like life like before the deal man, Sports, um, [, __, ].
What sports was you into baseball, I played baseball, basketball and football in Spanish, huh? Why? It sounds funny? Okay, Atlanta like baseball.
You got to play three Sports.
We just ain't playing no Hockey baseball basketball.
And they all different times of the season, but my mom, and my dad kept me in that just.
So we always had something to do right? You know what I'm saying, but baseball was the one I loved the most.
Because when football I was the same side, and we started getting your size I'm.
Still this side like yeah, that ain't for me quarterback, you know, I'm saying, basketball or two man them.
[, __, ] are getting tall.
I'm, still the same height.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying, but baseball I was the truth like I played that from 4 to 18.
You know what I'm saying and I was looking like [, __, ] baseball, make more than all the other sports.
So let me focus on this.
But at the same time, rap was always secondary like it's.
Nothing I was like like when you start rapping I want to say, I would I got my first karaoke at the age of eight eight, but I was in the band in third grade, I, gotta trumpet so I, just look at God the way so I got to Trump I played the trumpet in third grade.
My dad bought me a buck had a trip I'm.
The only one in school with a buck with a trumpet everybody else was random got to run them from the school.
My dad bought me a box like that.
This [ __ ], lying [, __ ], look, gay.
I, did the band from third grade to fifth grade by the time in middle school.
They still want to be in the band be in the band, but high school.
But the game come on I'm, not I'm being a band with a crowd with the girls I'm, not going to be in half time.
But no two two, pumping, no, yeah, no, no so I stopped going.
But I kept my trumpet, you know what I'm saying so the same time I, just always look at it like can you still play? Huh? Can you still play? You know, it's almost like roundabout, you'll never forget do I have a win because there's nothing, but win can I still blow I smoke.
A lot I probably could hit certain notes, but definitely I could definitely.
Wow, yeah.
You know what I'm saying so I just look at it like that.
But so like, yeah, so life before that, um, yeah, we did baseball.
After.
High.
School.
High school.
I had a scholarship, graduated with a 3.2 GPA.
So we had uh could have went to college or did go to college at a scholarship to the Fort Valley, HBCU, um, you know, Fort, Valley, uh, HBCU for baseball.
Not even academics because I was the truth in baseball.
I was like I was Mr Baseball in ninth grade.
I started in Varsity as a ninth grader like, you know, [ __ ] like so [, __, ] mad like man, how you start? Yeah, but I have been prepping myself since fourth, right? You know what I'm saying like on the best teams like I was really good like, but then, but as I get old I'm, starting to use my brain I got a 3.2 Jeep I got a 3.2 grade point ever so I'm like damn I'm, watching baseball games.
Sammy Sosa.
My favorite player.
Foreign, yeah, I ain't.
Gonna do that? Man? Let me try to I ain't got no money though I, just graduated I know, I go to college I go to college I go to college I'm, realizing like man, this [, __, ].

This [ __ ] got a stove.
Okay.
This might be my next investor.
Let me see if I can work my move.
Okay.
So, okay, I stalled him out for like six months, though cause he I mean, like bro, I want to sign.
You I want to sign you.
Why'd you stole them out though why did I stall him out? Yeah, because he came with a paperwork, too fast, like he pay Ryan never saw the paperwork.
I was just kicking it with my bro.
He never gave me no paperwork, right? You know what I'm saying like paperwork, oh, man, let me take it to the big brother because I think I don't have no I don't know about no entertainment lawyer, go to my buddy Monte, which is my uh, my my booking manager.
Now, but I've been knowing Montage.
He was my baseball High coach.
My High School baseball coach.
You see how this house is still tired.
So you see what I'm saying, okay, so I might say, look at this bro, you say, you know, you look like the music it's good.
The contract was not a bad contract.
I swear to God.
It was not a bad contract.
You know, what I'm saying could have been better.
It was not a bad contract right? I signed for nineteen thousand dollars, but I know, I'm broke as hell.
So me being smart with a 3.2 I say, look bro oppose.
You just gave me the whole 19, 000., that's, divided up until yo I got 400 every week for 400.
What would work is what was equivalent to the 19 every week four hundred dollars and something so I would go.
I would get 400 I treated like a job.
He would get me studio.
So after they saw the sign I'm in the studio.
He got me up there, Boo and Akon Studio, five that three five days a week or you can go whenever you want just send me your songs, come pick your money up every Friday we'll do okay.
So make a long story short, [, __, ], I stopped picking up the money.
Six months in some type of way out of here.
I already had the music Drop Like, I said, the [ __ ] was microwave ready when I met him right? So when I meet fly I'm going to the studio, you made some type of weight during that time during that time, right so some type of way.
So now we now we do.
We hit him with the uh, the reload it.
We dropped it bro.
Six months, I stopped getting my 400 bro I turned so what I gotta get to that? So technically, he owed me half of my money, but I'm a millionaire I ain't, even worried about this money, because like some type of way out some type of way go out.
So you know, before some type of way came out I was a millionaire I was already a millionaire because bro before fly signed me, I booked.
My first show at my house.
So he stalling me out, but somebody stalling me I'm like little brother, you got a show out here in Tennessee come to the show man, you know what I'm saying.
So he comes to the show man.
My first show, 800 man, I ain't, even think nobody I booked.
This [ __ ] from my Twitter Chattanooga, Tennessee, shout out service.
Man.
The first promoter ever booked me.
800 to go with my mama house.
I thought, 800 was 800 000.
This [ __ ] that paid me, don't know, I don't know about music in Chicago.
He drove that I got a hotel.
You know what you want I don't know about no riding on that.
Hey, man, I just need one room for every man.
I don't, drink, I, don't want, no liquor I'm, a I know, I'm gonna break my own car.
Just give me the 800 I, don't know, nothing about that.
[, __, ], yeah, black onto the show man bro.
When I tell you bro, you would have thought the Nick, the the I kid you not work to your mother would be bro at this time at this time cash out had the hot got a condo on my wrist.
Yeah around.
And they just went.
He was like bro.
You just sold more tickets than Wayne in this [ __, ] bro, the way to like.
So when I come back like bro and this hold on for 800 800, but you sold out the spot I sold out the spot I, didn't, I, don't, I'm, not even knowing my work.
You should like, hey, but am I.
Yeah and I got 400 nothing to get from fly too what you see what I'm saying so look now I'm, not even full of flying I got 800.
So after that fly I signed I saw him like, yeah.
So I get here like.
Yeah, this is gonna be the one I signed.
Now now I'm getting 400 every week was the crowd singing all your lyrics man.
What there was this before because before I was still going in I had this album called I had this mixtape called that was my first mistake still going in the first one was called still going in no it's, not I promise I would never stop going there.
That's.
What got fly attention? I, promise I would never stop going in okay.
So in the midst of that I'm recording, but I already had still going in all the song that's.
What I did my mama house did which is all those when I met fly right? But when I'm going to the studio I'm coming up with uh, some type of way.
So six months it took me to get my money.
I come up with some type of way.
You know, we so but I'm already on the road for my first show.
So after my first show after I did that first show for the 800 [ __, ], I, ain't stopped doing the show since every weekend every week every weekend you feel me so that's, how I was I became a millionaire before some type of way came out.
So by the time, some type of way come out like [, __, ], we're, six months in man, fly agreement.
So then fly.
You owe me, nine thousand I, don't think, I, ain't, stun, the money, I ain't, even getting a 400.
No more man, I'm up, I, don't, even call it.
So when did you figure out to charge more than 800.
I started in a team.
But like okay, after after the 800 I signed with fly, right so I put a team together for me.
Now we got a team, you know what I'm saying so I'm never gonna do a book in the right way.
You know what I'm saying, but it ain't.
My brother he put my team together I'm, not knowing like he gave me it's gonna be your manager.
I, don't know, nothing like you know, I'm saying, okay, bet I'm cool with that.
Hey, man, I'm your money.
Now, baby I'm on the road.
Every week I ain't got to ask, you [, __, ] for them.
400 I got my own money.
You know what I'm saying that's, how my mind thinking, six months later, some type of way come up, but like you gotta think before some type of way to come out, bro I'm, getting 20s and I'm like in the chicken circuit they're gonna turn the South up New, York, ain't, even New York don't ever be to some type of way.
Yeah, I'm a millionaire already for the chicken.
So I'm, 20, 000 Florida's and just all for the king judges and differences and stuff.
But for some type of way, awesome, you see what I'm saying, yeah.
So by some type of way, come on I'm a millionaire like, you know, so I don't even I'm, not even hitting him for the money.
No, you know what I'm saying I'm, not even hitting him for the money, though and he's not hitting you now we talking, but he ain't like he know, like he's, good he's, good.
He probably think I forgot all right like I say, okay.
So we some type of way we popping man.
My head get big as [ __ ].
My head get big and I ain't gonna lie I got lost in the sauce.
Cause you got to think so now it's like that I just got this money this quick.
And now this music I've been had and I didn't, even put my all in it.
So now, like if I ain't put my all in they don't gave me I don't got this much money.
I can go up and say anything that's when that [ __ ] started just and I was like damn damn.
But at the same time, man flight now we're going through a litigation.
So in doing litigation now, I'm litigation this after Flex, it's after Flex, Flex I, go to a litigation will fly.
So it's got to be 14 flips came out 14 15., right? But litigation lasts for two years.
I, can't, drop, no music because I haven't, even been rightfully paid for the the paperwork.
We signed, you know, I mean, like I, didn't want, no extra like I just want you to, you know to pay what we signed to just give me what I'm rightfully old right.
I was getting it, but I'm getting my [ __ ].
Two years later, man, [, __, ] that hey, Dad, take this [ __ ] to court.

So, but that time got me an entertainment lawyer, you know, like look, I know, you want to drop music like I'm, watching my peers drop like man, I'm ready to drop how you want to drop when you ain't even been paid for the stuff you got like, wait I, got you all right? So where we at as far as um is the original version is some type of way still up or is the new one out? No, no.
It was still going in.
Then we reloaded it.
So like [, __, ], don't, give me I'm in the video in the video.

Again.
The original version is some type of way it was you standing by the car with your home.
Okay? I'm shooting the video I'm, shooting a video from this dude named Lil Mook from Alabama.

And unfortunately, trying to give me 12 000 this year.
Man, wow.
And I.
Ain't got no choice.
But to take them, you know, what I'm saying is either that or nothing because I thought, you know, I mean, see the daddy like that's that's, how I knew myself bruh, we can't, we can't, wait for this.
We didn't know it was a beginning for all of us.
Right fly like even TIG like there's, no manual handle.
Nobody went to school to do this like we some Street [ __ ].
They just try something in their work.
We didn't know, you know what I'm saying, don't, nobody know what's going to transpire.
We don't know this stuff gonna happen.
We don't know.
So you know that [ __ ] was new.
We just watching it from them like [, __, ] from YouTube off.

You know, what? I mean Dubai Dubai will give me more than that.
So I'm doing Dubai's and all that.
But now Man flying talking, because of the litigation man fly not talking at all, you know, what I'm saying, I, can't, drop, no music.
My show money down, um, I would definitely say I probably was the lowest I was in my life.
Cause you got to think man I went from here to here fast.
You know what I'm saying and I blame myself and it's growth.
And I know, it was my fault.
You know, what I'm saying like I might have said, some [, __ ].
Six years ago on the interview a cussing, they got and I ain't that same corn, no more because like I've grown.
So even if I did I have to tell a [ __, ] man, don't fault me for that bro.
You know what I'm saying I'm growing man, you know what I'm saying I, didn't know like was it was it drugs involved? Oh, hey, yeah.
I was on Molly.
Every day.
Listen geeked up fight down.
Listen.
Something bro I felt like I couldn't do a show or a song without being on Molly.
When did that start when did The Habit start when the habits start, uh, [, __, ] on the road.
When I when I first, when I first got the rule out on the road, the 800 so I, ain't, drink, no liquor, no lean, no.
None of that.
You know what I'm saying, [, __, ] after some type, no before then before some type of way we was doing so many shows I, couldn't, stay up.
So I knew some people like, but I got something to keep you up and [ __ ] kept me up.
And you know, there's a machine after that.
If you don't mind that's where the babies is coming from, you don't mind who said that to you who said, they got something for you to keep you up with somebody from the industry or one of your family members.
Oh family.
Man, it's family, yeah, you know, this family Papa, molly, I'm.
Sweating is this before you was rocking with Trinidad or uh, nah just about this.
Nah, just by the time it's about the same time.
I felt like he said, I'm like what about it.
Let me see let me see what they do.
They swear I was making some dope ass music on I'm.
You might not yeah, is that because I want to think about it I already know you don't, steal your rocks, the association of great musicians and drugs is not a new thing.
Bro.
Oh, no, it's, not anything that would never be what I would say, but I think about some of my favorites that I've lost to drugs, right? Yeah, for sure I mean, so I, I, don't and I also see working with artists, I see when that becomes a crutch I see when you start getting the guys who can't brush their teeth without doing something, they don't want to go on stage.
They don't want to go in the studio you're sitting there trying to work with them they're like let me just do one.
Let me just do this one more thing and then I'll come back in and work.
And that [ __ ] just starts looking like a crutch.
And if it it becomes a crunch, rarely it rarely ends.
Well it like that that last pill is never that that last thing they take the last hit the last bump, the last pill, the last drink it's.
Never it never is when I'm there at that point, I'm always like [, __, ], I.
Hope you make it like this, the shakes and the recovery.
Yeah, like that [ __, ], yeah.
And then you gotta go talk to all the people who you I, ain't, [, __, ] on it did Dirty.
Yeah.
And you knew you was wrong in the Big Bang man, like five years, bro that's, what I'm saying because when I first started making that music I, didn't know, Molly you better so I had to get back this to myself like this ain't, no, no I ain't going now like that little bro I'm, not going out like that man, I'm not think about.
But they already say like David, Ripley that's.
When I used to be had a rich homie, temp, yeah, but David Ripley and I ain't like nah.
He was a drug.
No.
He wasn't out on drugs.
Don't.
Compare me, don't say, I, look like him and I, don't know.
And then she was, you know what I'm saying like, yeah, I shook that [ __, ], bro, I shook.
It man cause like one day I just looked I had to look at myself outside of myself I.
Look at myself outside my body trip.
A lot of artists have sat in that chair and talked about those times I was shocked when um Matt's been on the show three times met the man shout out to method.
And it wasn't until the third time that he talked about just a stretch of time that he was on ecstasy.
Listen X is bro I ain't, gonna lie ecstasy when I I bro that was the best.

All right? You know what I'm saying we go sit down with every label, New York, every label I end up signing up, Motown capital, that's, what I'm saying, and that was cool like the money was cool gave me what I wanted, but and I'm, not and I'm, not and I'm, not son, I'm, not throwing no salt on Motown I, just don't think they had the right people for me.
And when I came to build and changed and it'd be different when you know, yeah, my regime changes happen.
Yeah, or like the person like the person that came in with who recruited me that he he was fighting next week.
Then like big, shout out to Ethiopia, though because I always loved over there like I love what she doing I love everybody over there.
It just wasn't the best situation for me.
Man, right? You know what I'm saying I was the second hip-hop artist signed over the under yachty I was over there with photo.
Migos Migos are still with 300 at the time.
Yadi was the only artist signed to Motown when I said, wow.
So I'm, looking at it like damn.
They only got yeah, I'm saying, yeah, they don't Sprite commercials, oh, hell.
Yeah and we're in different Lanes, I know, I'm gonna give me some of this Sprite man, man, I, ain't, getting out of the whole building Chain man, but I couldn't, even get a goddamn water commercial s.
And but and like I say, no, hard, feelings, I love, the hair, I, Ethiopian, mellow, everybody over their Capital, like that just wasn't best for me and I went like with me being independent I wouldn't steer.
Nobody away from going to Capital Motown, because they have a great team and it's different scroll for different folks.
But it's just one for me.
Man.
How does that feel like when you you realize you're in this situation, you're like I, don't think these people are going to push my [ __ ].
It wasn't, even really that like the whole time I always looked at a building like they're.
Gonna do extra like once you get with a machine or it's gonna enhance it.
And there was a total opposition.
Yeah, you know, like once I got it, you know, it gets around the round table to pop the champagne.
You shake everybody's hand and the fake Smiles go out right? Did you do the dance on the table? No I, didn't know, listen man, what's.
So crazy is before I signed.
They wanted me to sign so bad, bro, what's, the dude's name who they call the man, the hip-hop, I mean, um, not not leor.
Oh what's.
His name.
Man, the top bro, he got voted like the the one everybody be talking about, not Jimmy I've been bigger than him, L.A, not bigger than him.
Yeah, from Britain from where from British one who own all the labels like, oh, uh, Branson, uh, six, nine.
His son only had six nine signs.
It was signed the six nine level.
Man, sir is that, yeah, I know who you talking about it? Okay.
So, yeah, you know, he got me sitting down loose green like he got, you know, I'm all the way up there.
You know that they recruiting I mean, like, you know, I don't.
Take pictures.
Last artist I took a picture with was Rihanna look at her now, uh because uh, Brian be with, uh, whether it be with LA.
Yeah.
So he uh, you know, everybody trying to recoup me brother, that's, what I'm saying he's like man, I, don't care, where you go, you just gotta get on my mom bro I, just need you on my own brother.
Man, listen man, running track evening, his office.
So big in New York.
He running track eating a salad and talking to me at the same time listening to music I'm like that [ __, ], rich, rich.
You know what I'm saying, yeah, like a lot of people don't meet him bro.
You gotta be like man like I was talking to people p, uh, qcp.
People like come on man, I've been trying to get a meeting with anything for three years.
You know, what I'm saying how you doing I, don't know, bro, hey, you want to meet me I met him.
You know what I'm saying so like, but like I said, man, a big, shout out to them.
It just didn't work for me.
Bro.
It didn't work.
Did you take the oath? Huh? Did you take the? Oh Jesus? Did you take the oath? What do you mean? The Illuminati [ __ ]? Did you join the Illuminati in Virginia? Yeah, I'm independent.
Now right? People always come up with these stories like yo, oh, you know, well, you know, I get that question a lot though like bro, like my fan, bro, it's, Illuminati, real, you really Illuminati and I, wouldn't say, it's, Illuminati, but I just feel like it ain't.
No Illuminati let's just say that.
But when you get to certain level, you just gotta move different that's.
What it is it's levels to this [ __, ], right? Once you get to a certain level, it's certain [, __, ].
You can't do do that's.
All it is that's.
What Illuminati is it's like some [ __, ], I, can't, do no more [.
__, ], I'm in a certain tax break, right? You know what I'm saying that's what date, but it's their circle of people that you feel like all right? If you get in that Circle it's over, but it ain't, the Illuminati I like it's, more of a it's, a sorority, a fraternity, fraternity, it's, fraternity, right, yeah.
We got the word wrong.
It's, definitely it's, definitely a uh, fraternity, but it's, not Illuminati like devilish, no it's, definitely a fraternity.
Okay.
So show that it's not that hard to picture.
I mean, you you in this chair, all got rich at the same time.
We would do things different.
We start talking about what we gonna buy where we're gonna go what we might see when we're there, what we'll buy when we're there, the the future of that thing like we don't want up here, right like maybe not him.
Yeah, certain certain things at certain levels.
You just see it becomes about more about your Social Circle, where you can go and where you can who who's inviting you to a party and who's, not what meetings you can take, and which ones you can't.
If me and you is all worth the same amount of money, there's, no experience.
You can have that I can't afford to go buy right.
So now it's more about who digs you who likes you as a person, if I think he's cool and I don't think she's cool, it's, kind of like he can come.
She can they could both be worth the same amount of money right? But he gets in the room where all the opportunities are and she's on the outside of the road, trying to get that meeting for three years, it's, not that hard to picture real talk.
You can call it whatever you want.
But at a certain everybody does it that's? Why that's why I don't understand why it's such a if Jay? And and if Jay and puffy are in the same room, and they start talking business it's, right there like you're looking at, and they bring somebody else in hey, LeBron, you wanna, yo Kanye I think we got what's Rihanna doing can somebody get her on the phone next thing.
You know by being there, yeah, man, all right, you know about this map.
So this is where the problem comes in with the Illuminati.
And what people associate with what they call the Illuminati, which would mean, enlightened ones.
So we're going to subtract that, because there really wouldn't be enlightened ones, but you have in the world 85, which you will understand how it goes it's like nothing to do with no religion or no mindset.
This is actually just the way it is.
We have 85 percent of the world out of followers.
You have 10 in the world that control the 85 percent of the world off of the knowledge that they have.
You have five percent of the world that are poor.
And they try to get people from the 85 percent to win over and they're, pretty much at war with the 10.
The 10 will be the ones that you would consider this Illuminati that you talk.
Now, this is the problem that comes in now and where it becomes with I heard one of y'all say, devilish or something like that.
The scriptures speak about that.
Our people was killed from a lack of knowledge with the 10 does is that they're a group that trying to protect their selves.
So they manipulate the knowledge to the 85 percent and that's where now you're looking at a negative situation or maybe devilish, because that 10 is not going to tell the 85 percent or the knowledge is that they're going to give them what they want to be honest part, the 85 some of them don't, even want to know, yeah and it's only until you decide to be at a high level that you enter into the other percentage exactly exactly or like I, just think I can oh let's just say, I'm, not going to see my I'm, not even save myself, uh, oh it's hard as I can give you.
Now.
This is safer say, for instance, we see somebody we've never heard on Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow.
You heard of me on Jimmy Kimmel, but he got to be Illuminati.
Yeah, his cross got the diamond sign because they just happened to put that [ __ ] up.
Man, I got I got a video with meth right.
So in the video I I go to I go to to I, don't know what the [ __ ] I was doing with my hand, but they caught me like this.
And it was like look.
He throwing over the triple six Method Man brought him in and there's a whole 20 minute video of a breakdown bro.
This [ __ ] is nuts.
Bro.
You [ __, ] need a life.
You need a life like this [ __.
] is ridiculous.
Huh? That [ __ ] is wild, but you ain't never like if you ever seen one of those videos on yourself what now you know because sometimes like I, ain't gonna lie like I'd be searching on the YouTube masonry songs, got Elite just go look.
And you know, like be having the stuff and the stuff you see like damn like [, __, ] need a life for real like this is y'all doing.
Yeah, [ __ ], really making up feels okay, like, oh, you really they believe it then I'm reading the comments like yo.
He really is Illuminati.
He threw the sign.
So your dumbass believe in this fool, you know, what I'm saying [, __ ] is like yo, check this other video.
He did it again there.
Yo, if you're in the Illuminati, we missing benefits around the smoke Illuminati membership.
Yeah, I need you to figure that out [ __, ], yeah, since the Mad video bro, you should be up to scale by now I don't know who you pissed off, but like [, __ ] should be different around here.
Yeah, man, you know, they should have a different tag on your car.
You know what? I mean like you know, can we at least get the Uber each cards in here? The Illuminati the rap circles who was in your rap Circle I, don't got no rap for him.
Man, I feel like, oh, that should really be bogus like I didn't go to school with no new [, __, ], uh, I know, I take that back.
Yeah, Jacquees I like the Jacquees that's like really like my little brother, Boosie and [ __ ], put up on me because we live so close like [, __, ], really like had like boosted that's that [ __ ], I, [, __, ] with Boost.
You so hard Boosie, trying your Boosie on the show, oh man, let's boost it.
But that's.
My [, __, ] man, booster, pull up on Acorn a wheel.
Man, ain't picking up, I know, you got something to smoke man, I'm trying to pull up I didn't call till you're coming come on give me right there.
My [ __, ], yeah, uh, [.
__, ].
Yo, got it.
You know, I mean, like I say, I, come from a different era.
So I, look a lot I want to talk to the [ __, ], I, look up to right.
You know, what I'm saying now have you gotten that that support like wisdom from certain artists because a lot of artists like this is this Detachment there's a, you know, I mean, there's, a younger artist, they only [ __ ] with the older artist.
The older artist, always criticizing young artists, young artists, like [, __, ], y'all [, __ ], y'all like is it like that in Atlanta, no I, wouldn't I, definitely want to set it in Atlanta man, Atlanta, I feel like that's.
The only part we're coming together.
If this is where you can get your money, get your money.
Man, I don't, like even if we had something going on we're gonna smile in the picture man like and that's.
The thing with Atlanta like we'll have some screen [ __ ] going on before the money.
Man, we're gonna smile in the picture together, you know, I mean, that's, what that's the difference like y'all up here, [ __, ] that [ __ ] man.
If we ain't doing [, __, ] with them, [, __, ] and that's.
What it is like we'll have some [ __ ] going on in Atlanta.
So small, everybody knows everybody like so you know, we'll put our products to decide for the bigger picture for the money.
And then after that we'll just heading out and go back on, but we'll, make it look good for the camera right? How did you feel when um, because we had drama here not too long ago, and he talked about the night that, um, Jeezy and Gucci patched up on the radio were you listening that night when they packed up on the radio yeah, I, don't know, I think Gucci was in jail.
No I ain't here.
Yeah, I ain't see the brain here that but I saw the verses though, yeah, yeah, I might have been in jail when they talked, how did you feel? When you when you saw the verses go up? I was disappointed man.
Why it was good for the culture to see that, yeah, but I didn't know, like Jimmy being any man, if any one of y'all able to kill one of my [ __ ], we couldn't be on the stage together period.
That's just me as a man I, got I, stand by morals, like [, __ ].
The money I'm out I don't, give a [ __ ].
They can give me, I know that that's what it was about.
You can't offer me amount of money.
Man like, you know what I'm saying, but to go against my go against my morals and my methods, you know what I'm saying, like, you know, I got morals and I'm like I'm, a man, first bro, I, couldn't have been in the same room that and I mean.
But even if your man was wrong, even if my man was wrong either as in Jesus man wrong, yeah, yeah.
Cause easy.
Man.
Wrong.
Yeah.
But I just can't.
Do it? How would you squash it? Though how would I squash? How would you put it away? Yeah, all right.
We ain't got to put it away.
Uh, the best answer is no answer.
So in different unless don't disrespect, me, don't disrespect, you we ain't got to speak to just keep it respectful.
Man.
The best answer is, no answer that's.
The way it's squat that's, the way of squash.
I mean, I guess squashing to me is making peace.
Right.
Yeah.
But once blood is [, __, ], ain't, no ain't, no reconciling that bro.
Yeah, never be that's.
What I'm trying to say as far as and both of those two artists like I've worked with both of them.
And they was like part of my inspiration like I went to the same High.
School Gucci went to.
So you got to think like [, __ ].
We Gucci out like, yeah, you know what? I mean, yeah, did you hate Gucci because I'm hate Jesus? Because of that I like the Jeezy Moore I was on I'm from the Easter I'm from the same Zone, it's, Gucci man.
But I was a Jeezy fan.
More I just started liking.
Geez.
I didn't, start liking Gucci monster, like like, graduated high school like damn.
And it goes to really ratchet don't give a [ __ ], right like when I start understanding I'm able to interpret what really saying first, you know, just saying something like man that [ __ ], this [ __, ], uh, Gucci, disrespectful, my type of [, __ ], like at least a lot of [ __ ], right? You know what I'm saying, but like I hate I, just But to answer your question.
I couldn't I was disappointed I felt like some some stuff like money, ain't even worth even.
But it was great for the coach.
Yeah, you didn't want to that's what I'm saying I didn't want to see that.
Now one of them died.
But like I said, we could have just like what is it? Respectfully? You go your way.
I.
Go mine.
Bro.
We ain't.
We not this I'm telling you now from a live one of my [, __, ], don't, come 50 feet.
You better have a restraining order.
Your family I got to get get back some way somehow I, just my man's I love him.
We got to get get back.
So now, even if that get back leads to more bodies dropping because once you get get back, you say, guys, you got to get get back.
You don't have to get back.
But you can't stand with those people and then see that your man moms and your man sister and his brothers and his family.
And they like, how would you standing there with this? Dude? He disrespect him like like Gucci like he on some Easter look like I know, like I'm that's, what I'm smoking I mean to be honest.
If somebody came to get me and I got them you, uh, we were popping exactly like Gucci.
I feel Gucci I was more disappointed than Jesus that's.
What I'm saying like Lucy like I, can't, I, can't, I, can't say, nothing about uh by Gucci, like you did what he supposed to do I can't like and like I got a free body here, [ __, ].
Anyway, What's It, Gonna and I can talk about it.
But as far as Jesus, you weren't supposed to take that bro you're supposed to be mad at this [ __, ] for life.
I'm gonna go for how much money this [ __ ] I offer you come on man because that that's, the only [ __ ].
We know about well, you don't know what else all the type of blood that I said, that's, the only [ __ ] that happened.
We heard about come on man.
You got to know that was a beef beef I'm from Atlanta right? Come on man, I was just a little.
It was a lot going on right here.
Man, but I think it was good.
A good example for, you know, the young boys out here that sometimes you gotta you gotta let it go bro.
We gotta let go or it just keep going it's.
A cycle I was just going Bang going.
Yeah, real talk.
Then just think about your mood before you do it like you really just think about something before you do it.
They should have changed a lot of [.
__ ] just be off impulse Instinct.
You just think about something like she ain't gonna really help me more it's.
Gonna hurt me I want to do it now mad.
But in the end, like you don't hurt yourself, yeah.
So that's.
What I've been trying to do there's certain things I'll be in the back of my mind, if I get the opportunity? Am I gonna do it now like I know what it's gonna mean? Man, yeah, I don't got away with a a good amount of [ __ ] for sure is that going to be the last one, you know, what I'm saying, like you don't know, you might you might have got God might have said, all right.
I'm gonna give you 15 free passes you at 15.
Yeah, exactly.
So when you go for number 16., it might be that one that everything come Crashing Down.
What do you do I think about it? You've been blessed.
You've been giving so much both of them as artists been given so much it's karma, bro, can you keep that going knowing I've been giving all this [ __ ], but you fake kicking it if you're on stage when you notice they catch a partner, you know, you don't say, some [, __, ], like you hate him, I can't, fake cake and that's what I mean like.
So that shows like that's.
Why hip-hop was we fake kicking it, but it's supposed to be grimy holding the record all right bro like we ain't supposed to like when you start? How do you think they felt about him going to do what he did? And you might be keeping some other kids from going through that same Pain by setting.
That example, it was it wasn't there's.
A big I.
My pops used to say to me, you got to deal with a young man's wrath and a grown man's, patience, I understand what it is to wait.
You think what I mean, I, don't, I, never react in the moment, I'm cool to wait I know where you coming from as far as not letting it go I understand that.
But I also see when you at that level on that stage with millions of eyes do I satisfy myself or do I do something that's going to reverberate and keep more kids from not ending up in this [ __ ] up situation, I'm gonna have to answer for can I swallow.
My own Pride, look that man's mother and I apologize, but I needed to do this.
So more people don't end up like your son, I, definitely agree on that I feel that, but I'ma always have a butt I'm.
A man, bro, it's, certain it's, certain stuff, a man don't, let do bro we're, mascular, we're masculine, right, no, bro, that's feminine ass activity on stage with a [ __ ] that killed your pop something that big, of course, I love for the hip-hop, but the same night.
Man, this man, you hurt one of mine, bro, hey, I'm, just I, just I just know me.
And the people I'm around man, ain't, no time, ain't, no.
Peace, party ain't, no toast.
Now we good.
They ain't toasting, nothing.
But we we can't even be in the same vicinity, even if it leads to to what Young Thug is caught up in right now.
Okay, even if it leads to that is that's different, though how cause I know, okay.
So this is gonna do ask that question again, because I got something for your ass I got something for you let's.
Go.
Okay.
In that case, okay, things.
Not being.
Let go led to where they at right now.
So when you see what could happen how you know your partner passing away you getting this almost instant blessing million dollars you up doing shows all over the place you you get that there's got to be some spiritual connection for you from you sitting there thinking, yo, this dude, still wanted me to rap I'ma, keep going.
And then you getting it like that there's something spiritual there.
You get to that level and you have, you might have some issues, and you decide not to let it go.
And you end up where he's at right now.
Yes, I I, I, agree with you back on that part, because like, you know what I'm saying, but it goes back to what I said at the beginning, I feel like it all can be prevented, you know what I'm saying, right it all comes back to that.
It could be prevented, of course, like [, __ ].
And then like I say, if you put a man, throw it like, if it was some [, __ ], like that man throw had to do a versus.
And you know what I'm saying, you know, like man, dog got in the bed we don't, you know, we're not the best of friends, but we still have mutual respect for each other right? The [ __ ] would have been a zoom call and I'm saying, [, __, ], like I, respect you because like Zoom is gonna get mad.
But no download what I'm saying is it's only because the tension comes from the Entourage around us like it could be it ain't more so Jeezy and Gucci could probably be talking it's, the [ __ ] around bro, you're gonna let him do you're gonna let him say that about your bed like that on to Rogers ain't leading the movement for sure facts for sure you are for sure and a lot of times people let their entourages lead them.
But they Entourage me thinking about the next move to get to the next million and how we're going to take care of this.
Now you're gonna be you're gonna be set you're going to be said, though entourages ain't thinking about that.
So when you're the brains to the operation and your entourage is leading you what's going on, but let's start with Matthew, not the brains, you know, and they aren't you all just leave then there's that.
Yeah, then there's that stand in the front don't, make you a leader do the mouthpiece.
And the one on the camera don't make you the leader I hear what you're saying, but in the cases of the people who are, yeah, I'm just saying, but with a lot of these rappers they're people that you're not seeing that's in their Entourage that's controlling everything and I'm sure he could tell even if even if even if the word ain't control there's, a difference between an Entourage and a council every every leader I've ever known, has a council has a circle of people who he can go to and go.
What do you think and it's, not a matter? The Kings, trusted men it's, the difference between being a boss and a leader, a boss is good for the best bosses are tyrants.
The best leaders are servants.
What I saw Jeezy doing that stage was a leadership move.
He was serving someone I'm going to do this to make sure that these things don't happen anymore, that's me being a servant, as opposed to me being a boss and saying, go get them you're, right? You're, right now.
Look when I first saw it that that's? What I first saw like Dad, that's, a real [, __, ] from Jesus.
But after I set on, you know, you get yourself a three-day rule I'm mad at allergies because like bro, you gotta think blood on this [ __, ] man, y'all, no, bro, [, __, ].
No man.
Senior senior senior artist out there.
That the case you know what I'm saying bro like what I'm saying is like it could even it could even been a conversation? I don't, even have to do no verse that should have been another coach I want to see it.
But as long as we know, we good, we ain't got to explain for the culture that's, not.
But you don't think you don't think, um, the example being said, yeah, that's gonna happen again, it's symbolic it's gonna happen again, it's symbolic because for everybody who for everybody who feels like, you let's say, jeezy thinks like you do.
And he sent somebody else out there.
He he took the call in private there's.
Somebody in the crowd, going that's that [ __ ], Them, [, __, ], Ain't, Cool.
He ain't really mean that [ __ ].
If you really meant that he'd have been out there by himself that sh*t's still popping like, nah, nah, [, __ ] that like them, [, __, ] them, [, __, ], still.
We still gonna get it soon as he leave out of here.
We gonna get it.
He he ain't go out.
He ain't go out there because I heard kids was fighting in school over there.
Oh yeah, who told us? Kids are the entourages it's fighting in school.
It was drama.
Yeah, no.
It was bro because you had like [, __ ] was picking sides like you're, a Jeezy fan you're, a Gucci fan.
You know, like I said, I'm, going I.
Go I'm from the same city, but like my iPod I'm, listening I, don't know, I'm listening to Jesus, I know, I'm listening to Jesus.
You know, what I'm saying you couldn't do that I'm from the East side and playing, uh, Jesus because Jesus were making.
But he was over on the fourth ward.
So I'm like two different areas.
So I'm from the East side, you gotta ride with the east side, but I just feel like when I was young and I didn't understand I felt like Jesus made better music.
And I was a fan.
I was always a fan of good music.
Yeah, I felt like, yeah.
It was time that's how we felt up here.
He bit me so it's like.
But as I got older I'm like damn that [ __, ], Gucci, really like ratchet like piping it like you know what I'm saying, I'm like what Jesus will happen? Um, he let you down, but I feel you on that I feel you on that I feel like he.
He let me down as a fan, but he did what was right for the culture let's, put it right there.
He in his mind in his mind believe in the night he did that for you, he didn't do that [ __ ] for me.
His mind.
The bigger picture was exactly Rich.
Homie, Quan, shouldn't have to go through nothing that me.
And this dude, just nah I'm, telling you with the wall.
He started thinking about that wife and their baby.
It wasn't, no Rich, Homie Quan, the fans like man, you got to think Jesus that changed from Jesus.
He was I'm sure that's, fine that's.
What it is, no family I'm marrying them looking over my shoulder, dissing, no, [, __, ].
So I can see that part I'm sure he said for me boys and babies.
So he got to be looking up bro, let's call truth of Truth.
Man.
You got it.
Man, you up one and that's, how I look there isn't Tower and I was sad about that his boys got white wives and babies too like his boys got family.
They don't want to send the soldiers out and knowing they got [, __ ] to lose.
They do but I just feel like Jesus.
What happened to the first one, though I, don't know, man, bro it's again, the Entourage, yeah, you know, like man, you could be cool.
But if he say like [, __, ] him, you like, yeah, bro, yeah, doing everything.
But the song that that's what it started from that's, almost like [, __, ] I can make a song.
No, no, no, no when they call the truth.
They came out two some years ago.
It was just to make it look good.
They never got in the studio with each other.
They sent through email.
They ain't, no, wow.
That's different it's, just different.
You don't see, no footage of them in the booth together that's.
Why they had to be on stage that's, why they had to be on stage.
They make it official.
It dropped after that after they did that song in that interview.
They went back to having being on the opposite, but it's different, though it's different.
It would have been if they would have performed that song.
They did that song there.
Okay, then it's for the money.
That's.
The lame part about it.
Okay.
Then so don't say, like no I, remember when they had that difference, bro let's go out here to get a whole hands them, [, __, ], never touched each other.
Yeah.
So I ain't like y'all we're on the same stage, but bro let's let's.
Hold each other hand up together song like this.
This will be gone.
Yeah, they wasn't gonna go that far, but, but it was, but to show that they could be in the same room and come together for the culture, but you definitely could feel the tension in that [ __, ], foreign Like, A, Boss by his responses and stuff that's.
What I like about him like Gucci's on the young [, __, ], [, __ ], but like even like Jesus, the way he was talking like that man come on Gucci was on the Young Nation.
Yeah, Jesus.
But now he got a song out called dissing The Dead, what he's saying we need to stop doing that, which was something that he started.
Yeah, exactly exactly exactly.
So now it's conservation right right or growth or growth or growth.
Okay, you're allowed to change your mind.
Well, yeah, because I think being stuck in this one-way only my way or the highway doesn't allow for anybody to change their minds I think somebody said, he's, a liar.
I was like that man was telling you the truth right up until it wasn't his truth anymore.
This is his truth.
It changed his mind like you started.
It started off talking about the serious Jones, [, __, ], yeah.
How you think you feel when you see this [, __, ] and I ain't, no disrespect, yeah, you think you feel like damn man, you know, it's like I knocked out too.
We had to come that's how it like, but don't make it look, fake and Stage like that's, what I'm saying that's all I'm able to talk about it.
If I had if y'all hadn't did it I wouldn't have said that I only said, brought it up because I saw the truth and I could see it.
And it was real.
But that's.
It went real that's, what I'm saying you feel like it wasn't, real it's, real enough.
Yeah, it's.
Good I need for it to be real.
Yeah, like the night went by by good, but I wanted to be real, but we know that [ __ ] was staged man.
Everybody named mama know that [ __ ] was easy man, go to the same party.
Yeah, even if that's awesome that's, what I'm saying like you're in seriously, bro like the way you could tell that [ __ ] was genuine like the way y'all talking like bro.
You had me on that one.
But I was gonna like that [ __ ] was hard like that's that's.
What people want to see right? Well, then that's, the key bring back fist fighting.
No, no, not fist fighting.
See you going she's driving seriously? No, what I'm saying is like I'm fighting, yeah, you know, the guns, but they live to see another day.
They live to squash Bros, I feel what you're saying, but what I'm think I'm saying is like you can tell bro when they was doing that that [ __ ] looked real and that's.
All when it look real, [, __, ], gonna leave it alone.
Right? We ain't gonna even talk about it.
No more cause.
We feel the genuine is in it.
You think it was really real though what's, uh.
So it looked around his part, but do you think it was real on serious part, no.
But like look I could tell it was running his part.
You could tell serious was scared because seriously it's like listening see if he asked me about serious I ain't, trying to do something like that I'm, not telling you trying to do it like that seriously, it is what it is.
It is what it is.
I just gotta speak.
It I'm just saying, man, you know what I mean, but but that's, what I could tell there was real demon from you, but I could tell like I ain't gonna lie, but like either way it goes for me I like that I'm like that's, some real [ __, ] Bro, even from you for y'all to get together like that's, what I like because I could see it, and it looked real.
And like this one know, a thousand people got fans in here.
This y'all they're gonna block talking cups drinking [, __, ].
We lit man, oh man, the [ __, ], Ain't, Even, touch hand like bro, you know, you got it bro, that's, [, __, ], I, [, __, ] up.
Then [ __ ] would have feel good then it's like okay, that's real I.
Almost did it just then just because you, yeah, but that's.
The point I'm making like I, respect with Jesus, I, respect, Jesus.
Our respect for groups came from I just wanted to see a little more brotherly love for that because I'm from Atlanta that [ __ ] tear our city apart.
Right? So even if you could have did a fake handshake bro, you know, even if it's a [ __, ] today's, not over yet, you know what I'm saying, yeah, so quick question, where do you stand with Thug enough? Oh man, you know, man, throw it like man, like it ain't never been no beef like it was more Entourage it's, like, you know, man, free him free little [, __, ], ain't.
Nothing like man, I want number like because they're saying that them boys still got families.
You know what I'm saying I almost jail on nobody.
But you know what I'm saying period, you know what? I mean I hate that that's going on with them too man because like it's kind of similar, you know, what I'm saying right kind of similar.
But at the same time like man like man like me and Thug, we don't talk.
But we see each other what's up bro.
You know, what I'm saying, it's, mutual, respect and saw him a lot of times.
We ain't got to shake hands.
We ain't gotta get on our video.
But long as we know as much respect, and we ain't disrespecting each other in public that's.
What it's about man, right? You know, what I'm saying, that's, what it's about we ain't got to talk about it.
He know what he know what's up like I know, what's up, you know, I mean, that's, all, um, good business is Atlanta making an example out of the hip-hop artist like Young Thug targeted because man, you got and go get Trump first man, you you the same one going out trying to do that first and then and that's, what you want to do about that that's bigger than that.
Go get the KKK.
