3:10
fun to remind the people it's just in
3:12
case they they aren't familiar well
3:14
people get confused you know and Tracy
3:17
was asking a question earlier about when
3:19
you see these DJ compilations or
3:21
mixtapes or albums yeah
3:24
um what's the difference in how what's
3:26
the difference between what what I'm
3:28
really like that is compared to a DJ
3:30
Khaled or a Funkmaster Flex I mean it's
3:33
Dj drama you know my Approach is my
3:36
Approach and I think that you know the
3:39
way that I attack the game and what
3:41
people know me for a lot of times is
3:43
like my work with you know some of the
3:46
biggest in the game but also introducing
3:48
new voices you know what I'm saying
3:50
being a part of movements early on you
3:53
know so I I like to have you know a
3:56
little baby and uh uh
4:00
um a g you know a Tyler the Creator a
4:03
Simba a little Russell you know what I'm
4:05
saying um you know so really package it
4:09
all together and just how I was
4:10
explaining on what I represent when it
4:12
comes to the culture when it comes to
4:13
hip-hop you know like I'm I'm In My Own
4:15
Lane when it comes to my albums because
4:17
you know my Approach is like you know I
4:20
want to have voices that you know
4:22
really show how diverse our culture is
4:26
and you know shout out to college shout
4:28
out to flex like one thing about all of
4:31
us is when we put these projects
4:32
together and we come with these collab
4:34
collaborative projects like this [ __ ]
4:37
ain't easy not at all for nobody you
4:39
know what I'm saying like it's not a
4:41
walk in the park like it's a lot of work
4:43
it's a lot of dedication it is not an
4:46
easy thing to do so for any for people
4:48
listening who can who questions any of
4:51
us like you know it takes a lot it's a
4:54
it's an amazing skill to be in this
4:57
position to be able to put albums out
4:59
like this and consistently you know what
5:01
I'm saying yeah you know those the three
5:04
of us that you mentioned like we have
5:05
multiple albums under our belts not even
5:07
like this is one this is this is my
5:10
sixth album outside of mixtape outside
5:14
of the 250 mixtapes that I've done you
5:17
know what I mean like so it's a lot of
5:19
hard work and a lot of dedication this
5:20
is hip-hop though
5:22
yeah this is a cup this is a competitive
5:25
sport very competitive sport you gotta
5:27
love it talk about the Rivalry is there
5:29
a rivalry with you and Khalid you and
5:31
flex nah there's no rivalry I think I
5:34
mean first off flex is you know
5:36
is somebody that I grew up
5:39
um inspired by you know uh looking up to
5:43
you know really somewhat of the
5:45
blueprint you know I'm saying in so many
5:47
aspects of like you know he he was on
5:51
the radio he was on television you know
5:53
you couldn't open up a magazine without
5:55
seeing an endorsement with him he was
5:57
putting out albums like you know when
6:00
now the flexors appear and a friend of
6:03
mine like you know that that's one of
6:04
those things to me it's like wow if I
6:06
would have told the young 13 14 year old
6:09
kid who was you know aspiring to be a DJ
6:12
that like one day I'd be standing side
6:14
by side with flex and you know on the
6:17
radio talking our [ __ ] and you know
6:19
playing my records and him dropping
6:21
bombs I wouldn't have believed it and
6:22
then when it comes to Khaled I think
6:24
that the the Gen if there was a
6:27
generation that was dominated by clue
6:30
and flex then me and Khaled came along
6:32
and it was like we were the two big
6:35
figures in hip-hop when he came to DJs
6:37
you know so
6:39
um I think there's room for everybody to
6:40
prosper and to you know to do their
6:44
thing and absolutely hip-hop is a very
6:47
competitive sport but it's like you know
6:49
it's like going to the league you know
6:50
I'm saying we're gonna get on that court
6:51
and at the at that moment I'm ready to
6:54
bust anybody ass but like you know with
6:56
all aspects we're all incredible at what
6:58
we do you know what I'm saying in so
7:00
many ways and um yeah you know it's like
7:04
as DJs you know I pay homage to
7:06
everybody but you know I'm I'm here I'm
7:09
one of the greatest to ever do it and
7:11
that's what it is okay so when you say
7:13
lyrics like I don't care
7:15
how many times I got to prove myself
7:18
they not built like us there's only so
7:21
many people on your level so I just
7:23
thought you was talking about them
7:28
talking about
7:30
it's not directed to anybody in
7:32
particular
7:34
yeah
7:36
it's talking my [ __ ] you know if
7:38
somebody feels the type of way or you
7:40
know if the shoe fits but you know I
7:43
mean those are two brothers that you
7:45
know show love you know what I'm saying
7:47
specifically but you know yeah it's not
7:50
for anybody at all it's just it's just
7:52
me being in my competitive bag like you
7:55
know that's that's what I do when I come
7:56
on mixtapes like you know I talk that
7:58
talk and I'm gonna put myself in in that
8:01
space and you know just the type of type
8:03
of energy the record gave at that at
8:06
that moment that's how I was feeling
