contact with them mecast is like he
16:44
don't want to hear that I told you show
16:45
[ __ ] looking at ble yo save that yeah
16:49
but you told him so exactly I told him
16:52
that path and you know it's only one way
16:54
out here you can't you can't play the
16:56
Hokey Pokey in the rap game can't have
16:58
one foot in and one foot out n it
17:00
doesn't guess who guess what this is the
17:02
poster child right
17:04
here when blee was younger you know
17:06
think about all the headaches you gave
17:08
Jay yo no I tried not to man I watch I
17:11
watch beans and them give him the
17:13
headaches me I learned man that's why I
17:14
was telling him earlier downstairs I
17:16
learned from my manager beha if you
17:18
ain't 15 minutes early you 15 minutes
17:20
late yeah so I learned early I didn't
17:23
have ID to move around in these clubs
17:25
they had to pay so I couldn't hang out
17:27
and they y we
17:29
soever they said it was time to go so I
17:30
learned off them and that's how I grew
17:33
up moving that's how I try to pass down
17:35
to the artist I deal with you know
17:37
certain people listen certain people
17:38
want to do it their way I can't stop you
17:41
be how but so how do you deal with the
17:43
headaches you just you just put it out
17:44
on the plate and tell them you eat if
17:46
you want to eat if you don't that's on
17:47
you that's a fact you eat what you kill
17:49
especially in today's I can't hold a man
17:51
hand today everything is too accessible
17:54
you know what I'm saying you have the
17:56
power in your own hand to change your
17:57
life it ain't like you go to a label no
17:59
more and they have a marketing board
18:01
meeting where they could draw a whole
18:03
marketing plan for you the power is
18:05
really in the artist Hand so I could
18:07
tell you what to do but once you turn on
18:09
that Instagram that live that's what it
18:11
is all that what I said go out the
18:13
window yeah man you know I'm asking him
18:16

that joint word that's what's up love
21:36
Top Dog I appreciate it man much love
21:40
much respect man much success to you
21:42
going forward too what I wanted to ask
21:44
you though you know things like yo back
21:47
from day one it was like you beans and a
21:50
meal y'all kind of built that whole
21:52
thing and now Jay went all had a lot of
21:54
success but it's like hey y'all kind of
21:57
disappeared how you feel about that nah
21:59
we ain't disappear Fam I'm out here you
22:01
know what I mean you heard a du say
22:03
right that's all because of
22:05
Blizzard let me not that you disappeared
22:08
but it's not like hey y'all getting the
22:09
love that he's giving y'all the love no
22:12
no that that definitely yeah no that
22:14
definitely stopped and I think that come
22:16
with we ain't Dro no heat remember the
22:18
fans is entertained by it's it's the
22:21
entertainment business once we went into
22:23
relax and chill mode I guess the people
22:26
like all right I'mma holl at you who up
22:27
next
22:28
that's kind of how it works though right
22:30
you know what I'm saying so I think
22:31
that's what it is I don't think like it
22:33
was anything with within the crew where
22:36
Jay was like Jay stay hot we we we got
22:39
little lukewarm out here and then we got
22:41
ice cold baby right and then they put
22:44
dece I had to put the de on
22:48
the that's a fact that's a fact hey but
22:51
but and sometimes you you you may not
22:54
the thing way this business work Reco
22:56
somebody could be balling out of control
22:58
standing right in front of you but
22:59
because you don't know who they are what
23:01
they do you wouldn't know so at some
23:03
point people make these transitions
23:05
we've been able to watch blee U morph
23:07
into this CEO figure who you probably
23:10
were already but just hadn't blossomed
23:12
yeah I was trying I had my artist you
23:14
know shout out H Moneybags G the K
23:16
living proof like and you know it just
23:19
didn't work at the time you know people
23:20
was catching cases it was a lot of
23:22
Rockefeller we broke up so a lot of
23:24
things didn't come together to come to
23:27
fruition at that time but when we got
23:29
Warehouse everything everything just
23:31
worked and happened at the perfect time
23:33
you know I mean that's why we
23:34
distributed through Rock Nation you know
23:35
what I mean the big homie he know
23:37
blizzle got that heat got that heat what
23:40
so for you as your transition into full
23:42
time like full-time CEO what what did
23:44
you learn from there from that pass and
23:47
even Manolo and kasanova that that's
23:50
going to benefit huee you think uh just
23:53
being more Hands-On I feel like I let
23:55
Manolo and Cass take the Realms on their
23:57
own a little bit too much cuz you know I
24:00
always felt like with me jaying them I
24:03
always got told what to do like not
24:05
necessar like yo do this song but go to
24:08
the studio today everything was
24:09
calculated moved by them and now I
24:12
understand why because the calculated
24:14
moves add up you just let people shoot
24:16
at anything is no target you know what
24:18
I'm saying J and them had a target for
24:19
me so they knew what they wanted me to
24:21
aim at where I just let the artist free
24:23
roam and you see they target LED them
24:26
where it led them yeah yeah know what
24:27
I'm saying so with him it's like nah dog
24:30
you going to follow this path that's
24:32
already laid down all you got to do is
24:34
just go get lit you already the studio
24:36
is mastered this what I tell them all
24:38
the day it's two it's two things that
24:39
make an artist great first you got to
24:42
perfect your craft that happens in the
24:43
studio then once you leave that studio
24:46
your personality who you are it has to
24:49
be something that's attractive it has to
24:50
be like a light like when the morph sees
24:53
the flame a light how they fly to it you
24:56
have to be attractive and not I don't
24:57
mean sexually attractive cuz some ugly
24:59
ass people that's popping
25:01
but but I mean your aura everything
25:04
about you have to make people want to
25:06
Vibe and be attracted to yes because
25:09
there's a lot of rappers that don't get
25:10
busy but just because how they carry the
25:12
self you follow them that's true that's
25:15
true u v you hearing this man all right
25:17
since you and hea wore the same colors
25:19
today she going to dive in no I'm
25:21
curious always and welcome to the show
25:24
but I'm curious you growing up in the
25:25
midwest Mike is from Mich and he always
25:28
talks about how he gravitated more
25:32
towards music from the west coast and I
25:34
see your Inspirations though like you
25:36
have Kendrick you have Erica Badu you
25:38
have Lauren Hill it's such a mixed bag
25:40
though for you um was there a certain
25:43
was it more East Coast midw West Coast
25:45
how did it work to be honest with you it
25:47
kind of happened in waves just just as I
25:49
was like discovering hip-hop so like my
25:51
pops my pops was is kind of responsible
25:54
for it in a sense like he put me onto it
25:56
he was the one who put me into to East
25:58
Coast rap so he showed me showed me Jay
26:00
showed me Big L at a point in time Big L
26:03
was my favorite rapper like I used to
26:04
rap like him at a point in time and then
26:06
eventually my my interest kind of moved
26:08
over towards the West Coast so now I'm
26:10
listening to e I'm learning gangster rap
26:12
I'm listening to MCA MC Ren like
26:15
absolutely everybody and then eventually
26:17
you know it moved down the South that's
26:19
when you start to you learn The Vibes
26:21
like you know you start to just and like
26:23
appreciate the the vibe of it yeah no
26:25
I'm I'm just always curious about people
26:27
from that region because being from the
26:30
East Coast we were like strictly East
26:32
Coast for such a long time and it was I
26:35
ain't going to lie it's tough out here
26:36
if if for show is if for show is it it
26:38
helped you know having a back end you
26:41
feel me it help it's definitely tough
26:43
out here though well thank you for
26:45
sharing that shout out to your pops how
26:47
old is your dad my pops probably like 47
26:50
okay I say d was in the club with me for
26:54
sure I was like we wait we know your
26:56
father
26:58
that's the little
27:04
homie but Hugh I am curious though like
27:08
kind of with that being said like what
27:10
what are the things and themes that
27:12
you're rapping about because if you have
27:14
all those type of Inspirations but we're
27:16
from the Midwest our lifestyle is
27:18
different than the lifestyle on the west
27:20
coast and East Coast so I'm wondering
27:21
what are what are some of the things
27:22
you're rapping about right now it's
27:24
interesting like it's it's different but
27:26
it's not too different cuz every state
27:28
got a hood in it you feel me every state
27:31
has poverty somewhere so as long as you
27:33
can like speak to that speak to the
27:35
realities of people's life it'll always
27:37
connect it'll always connect no matter
27:38
where you are it could be in the states
27:40
it could be in Europe it can be in Dr
27:42
that's why we got videos and Dr has
27:44
being highlighted in New York and they
27:46
still feel it feel me right so you
27:50
talking about killing the rap
27:51
game what why why you want to kill
27:54
it I I'm not going to say is it's
27:57
already kind of like dead in a sense but
27:59
it's it's I feel like it's a it's a a
28:02
lost art it's a dying art in a sense
28:05
it's it's not appreciated how it should
28:07
be and so that's that's us taking the
28:09
the Forefront to be like all right cool
28:11
This Is Us showcasing like this is how
28:13
you do it it's no play play like we was
28:15
just saying not too long ago no play
28:16
play like so that's why this is the
28:18
death of everything that you might have
28:20
heard beforehand here here's here's the
28:22
new Revival here's the new rock or who
28:24
you like who do you who do you think
28:26
doing it right
28:28
um well I I grew up on like you know
28:31
Kendrick Cole so of course
28:39
like you
28:42
old the Raptors though those are they're
28:45
on the mountain so that's who I'm
28:46
listening to right uh at least like
28:48
those are my favorite but for like who
28:49
I'm listening to right now um to be
28:53
honest with you probably like I listen
28:55
to some Meek from time to time but if
28:57
I'm listen listen to me mill then I'm
28:58
like I'm going back to like
28:59
championships or something like that I
29:02
go back and listen to something like
29:03
that but to be honest with you I've been
29:04
making so much music like it's hard for
29:06
me to even like hear everything that's
29:08
going on it's easy to get distracted
29:11
it's easy to get distracted that's one
29:12
thing I can't say this guy definitely
29:15
got Tupac catalog of music stop like
29:19
literally like we dropped two EPS what
29:21
six songs on each he probably recorded
29:23
