1:38
this isn't for debate it isn't for uh
1:42
discussion this is a fact some people
1:45
believe their goats I know that these
1:47
guys are goats for various reasons for
1:51
throughout their careers um being
1:53
dedicated and committed to the art form
1:55
yes sir right and they never been uh
1:58
they never compromised some El but not
2:00
only that one of the things I always
2:02
talk about that gets lost in
2:03
conversation when King teeken I was
2:05
coming up Heather this is preh Heather

2:33
contribution and your thank you to the
2:35
culture common came in with a style out

which is why keing Tech and I start

playing his music him and I met back in
2:44
1992 I believe me too yes right Pete
2:47
Rock came with a production style that
2:49
was so warm and Sultry and
2:51
distinguishable you knew his sound 100%
2:56
100% And he introduced something he was
2:58
a contributor
3:00
it's a difference between a contributor
3:02
and a customer um and together they are
3:05
too highly acclaimed critically Acclaim
3:08
highly awarded um people who have always
3:11
been steadfast about what's right with
3:14
this culture when you watch Pete Rock's

6:27
part of the the the Fab uh the f f what
6:30

6:33
come yo and so I walked out and uh we
6:37
were making six figures at that time and
6:39
I and I called Tech and I start
6:45
laughing I said he said how'd the
6:47
meeting go I start laughing cuz we've
6:49
been through this before we got kicked
6:50
off radio before I said man he he said
6:53
he didn't want us to play the songs we
6:54
play and he's and he he named common
6:59
people all people yo but that's the
7:02
Muhammad Ali stuff y'all did man where
7:04
you sacrifice for what you believe in
7:07
that that that take a lot of heart and
7:09
soul that's what we don't that's what we
7:11
don't have a lot in this industry and
7:13
people ask me what what has changed most
7:16
about the industry from when you all
7:17
first came in and I think that's one of
7:19
the biggest things we used I remember
7:21
coming up to y'all show and when y'all
7:24
was in the Bay Area and the hit squad
7:27
was just up there and then y'all let me
7:29
come up and rhyme and and it was the the
7:32
DJs and and the people who were
7:34
ingrained in the culture in the culture
7:36
in the art form who really were like the
7:39
the conduits for us to know what was new
7:41
and what was good y'all had the the
7:44
power and the ability once that changed
7:46
like when I we couldn't bring a record
7:48
up to a DJ and he If the DJ liked it he
7:50
could play it that changed a lot every
7:53
the the stuff that had to be played had
7:55
to be programmed By Radio One or
7:57
whatever what whoever was the powers to
7:59
be and if that brother not even I don't
8:02
even know my record but some Pete just
8:04
said if you don't know Bobby Carwell and
8:06
you a program director music director
8:09
like man you got to you got to know
8:12
music man you got to know music when you
8:13
in and you in that position it's like if
8:16
you going to be a basketball coach you
8:18
need to know basketball and know the
8:19
history of it and that's any any
8:22
profession so anyway man I thought that
8:24
was the biggest change but thank you for
8:25
standing up I didn't want to make you
8:26
have to lose your job but you did it for
8:28
the I was looking for you for a while
8:31
though don't you know no Pete what
8:33
happed I walk we walked away that's when
8:35
Sway and Tech in the Wake Up Show sto
8:37
broadcasting in the LA in the beat that
8:40
that so for for a couple weeks you know
8:43
that was a nice part of our income U we
8:46
didn't know we we were going to figure
8:47
it out but that's when them TV
8:53

8:56

8:59

10:17
the right guy yeah yeah and I was like
10:20
man all this celebration of hip-hop the
10:22
50th Anniversary it just reminded me how
10:24
much I love this music man and I've been
10:27
listening to a lot of '90s hipop
10:29
and I was like man this spirit is still
10:31
alive like it's something like being at
10:33
those performances being at Yankee
10:35
Stadium and and I I stood in that crowd
10:37
man and just watched all these artists
10:39
man from Lil Kim to mob deep to to Snoop
10:43
to you know to cube to to Fat Joe to Nas
10:46
and I was like man it was like thousands
10:50
hundreds of thousands of people haven't
10:52
been e the Yankee Stadium ho that just
10:53
was enjoying the culture and I was like
10:56

10:57
still an appetite for me music that we
10:59

11:02
come up on suway like people call me I
11:05

11:09
I know people like actually listening to
11:11
lyrics and as you said you talking about
11:13
a hero he one of one of the heroes for
11:15
me like that that has created some of
11:17
the most timeless music and and once we
11:19
got around each other and start creating
11:21
it was like oh we got something that's
11:24
that's that's really special like this
11:26
this is a connection that that we had
11:28

11:48
said St we'll come back to it yeah we'll
11:51
come back to what we played it recently
11:53
but but but but for me it was just like
11:55
man this is one of the greatest
11:57
musicians and producers
12:03
sound that is you overlook that sound
12:06
like a sound in music it's only certain
12:10
producers that you get in music even if
12:12
you go to any genre that have created a
12:14
sound yeah and I was listening to like
12:17

15:31
our business we took it to wax right we
15:36

15:38
culture had D you got a problem with
15:40
somebody take it to the circle to wax to
15:43

15:56
the turntables take it to whatever AR
15:58

16:02
me standing up for myself you know and
16:05
um I got nothing but love for Ice Cube
16:07
he always been one of The Inspirations
16:09
and then after the [ __ ] and you we we
16:11
after that after the beef we had we we
16:14

16:16
been able to be a part of films that
16:17
he's that he's produced um and that's my
16:20
guy that's my guy but but but at the end
16:22
of the day you know we handled it on wax
16:25

16:33
around first let me be clear Ice Cube
16:36
look Cube you know we down I'm just
16:38
saying the line that I wrote back then
16:40
all right let me be clear I said a [ __ ]
16:43
[ __ ] with an attitude named Cube tried
16:46
to step to the C with a feud how
16:49
important is that first line that's is
16:52
it's not so much the line but the how
16:54
many did you was that the first first
16:56
line you settled on yeah that was the
16:58
first that was the first line because um
17:01
I mean it was a lot built up as Pete
17:03
Pete tells the story man I came to I
17:06
came to out his way he you know out in
17:08

17:33
you just like you know if you in a
17:36
battle you ain't thinking about the
17:38
punches you throwing you throwing them
17:40
you know so so I was just like yo let me

17:55
be talking about another person but they
17:57
ain't really that ain't really a disc
17:59
you might reference somebody and you
18:01
kind of look at them as corny or
18:02
whatever so you might reference them but
18:04
not say their name that ain't the same
18:06
I'm saying when you really trying to
18:07
diss somebody and you don't say their
18:09
name I don't I don't know man I I don't
18:11
get that you got to be a man about it
18:14
what about the beat though was that the
18:16
first beat you gave him um actually yeah
18:19

18:52
so hip
18:53

18:58
was that time and just man I was just
19:00
geeked at Pete was hooking this beat up
19:03
Pete you didn't have No Reservations
19:05
like cuz you could have inherited the
19:06
beef because you made the or we we
19:08
weren't on that back then with the
19:09
producers well you know what I never
19:12
really got any direct yo Pete [ __ ] you
19:14
man I never got none of that but you
19:17
know the Vibes was that okay it was in
19:20
the air you know what I'm saying like
19:23
all right you know what I mean but after
19:25
time and after visiting faran and things
19:28
died down
19:29
good but I mean I will say too it wasn't
19:32
many producers that was willing to do
19:35
that like I remember saying that rap and
19:38
Cass was like yo that rap cold I'm like
19:40
you want to do a beat no no no
19:43
[Music]
19:44
no I'm not going getting into that so
19:47
Pete just had to in the spirit of
19:49
hip-hop he was just with it I think you
19:51
know it was whatever his heart his
19:53
Warrior his his like love for the
19:56
coaching like yo I'm going get his beat
19:57

19:59
about he go he going to do them R Music
20:02

20:04
mean when it comes to the battle genre
20:06
yeah I don't know one better got a he
20:10
got a a few no Vaseline no Vaseline got
20:14
his my favorite no Vaseline jacking for
20:17
Beats all that was up thereo what what
20:21
what was your as fans how did you enjoy
20:24
well I got to see America's Most Wanted
20:27
be made the the the album yes in Green
20:30
Street he made that album here in New
20:32
York yeah that's the one you mentioned
20:33
in the in was was That's a
20:37
classic that was that was the beginning
20:40
that was the beginning of my career I
20:42
was like probably 18 17 I used to be
20:45
watching Hank and Keef make PE [ __ ] and
20:48
and when the ice cube thing was
20:50
happening I was just like wow you know
20:53
and I got to see it wow that's aaz she
20:56
was about to ask something else you know
20:57
what I was going to say
20:59
I knew
21:03
youbody do I even need to ask y question
21:05
why y'all just ask the questions you
21:06
know I'm ask you know we know
21:10
you so I mean man I thought that was a
21:13
really good battle me too that that was
21:15
like a that was one of the best battles
21:17
rap has ever seen the Drake and Kendrick
21:19
Lamar battle and uh it was a heavyweight
21:22
fight cuzz I mean initially it was like
21:24
Drake was doing his thing Drake really
21:26
was dropping some joints and saying
21:28
lines I was like wow it's clever and he
21:30
was going against a lot of people and he
21:32
was he was delivering yo he was fighting
21:34
everyone fighting everyone and he
21:35
delivered and then you know when
21:37
Kendrick started dropping it was just a
21:39
gradual like Art of War Mastery that you
21:42
saw and um man I think once I heard that
21:45
meet the grams and not like us I was
21:48
like this is this is ridiculous battle
21:51
like level cuz that's conceptually
21:53
here's the thing when you turn a battle
21:56
record into a hit record you lost
21:59
yeah you have lost so that's that's how
22:02
I look at it you know what I'm saying
22:04
when the record it's the This Record
22:06
becomes a hit record and everybody's
22:08
singing it yeah that's one point and
22:10
then and then for me conceptually like a
22:13
meet the ground's thing is like for you
22:16
to like come with a concept and like
22:18
break down like a person's like like
22:21
being like and then that line of like
22:24
you ain't a you ain't this ain't a rap
22:25
battle you in a battle with yourself
22:27
it's like man man that's a that's a cold
22:29
line after everything that he had put
22:32
together in that and conceptually like
22:34
that's where you hitting somebody in
22:35
their soul so it was it was a powerful
22:37
what was the Drake line cuz Drake first
22:40
of all give as far as battling go give
22:42
them dudes a round of applause like
22:44
standing ovation I want to give him a
22:46
standing ovation team Gemini team gini
22:49
that deserves a standing o it hasn't
22:52
been a battle that like where it was
22:53
that back and forth and they was
22:54
dropping it like that and that strategic
22:56
that was a classic battle might be the
22:59
best battle I in my opinion there not
23:01
been a bigger battle than that you see
23:04
why jcole took a step back absolutely so
23:07
stop dissing him cuz that dude is
23:10
amazing you got to you got to let who
23:11
you are sometimes supersede just why we
23:14
talk about this culture we don't even
23:15
know what it is so we going to allow it
23:18
to tell jcole he wasn't right for
23:20
following his feelings you know n we
23:22
don't know n what's the Drake Drake was
23:25
[ __ ] clever the whole time he clever
23:27
mean love the line I mean cuz he was
23:29
saying funny stuff when he was like man
23:32
you know um you with size seven men shoe
23:36
on how you a big stepper with a size
23:37
seven like that [ __ ] is a dope line man
23:40
like and then he was like you know it's
23:42
all over your face like Mike like
23:44
something he said about Michael Jackson
23:46
he's like I see it you don't want to see
23:47
your brother Jermaine get the
23:50
light man he you know so he was he was
23:53
saying some stuff and that you in in a
23:55
scope you know uh he's like your label
23:57
you in a scope um like lab feel the
24:00
aftermath or something I like you know I
24:02
like word play and Drake was delivering
24:04
that and then Kendrick just came and
24:06
elevated it it that's a like you said
24:08
that that could be the best rap battle
24:11
we've had but so they deserve there they
24:14
both in the new in the new realm of of
24:16
of artists and music that right there
24:19
was a pillar remember and it was great
24:22
to see it it's almost like I I likened
24:25
it to um if we would have saw Manny and
24:28
and and Floyd in their Prime we got to
24:30
see Drake and Kendrick in their Prime in
24:33
their Prime man and and one one of the
24:36
the after effects that I love is that we
24:38
were listening to to the lyrics like I
24:40
hadn't had that many people call me like
24:43
yo you hit this or send me like I had
24:46
people that was my age people that was
24:48
like 21 sending me the songs like yo
24:51
listen to this one and we always was
24:53
listening to the lyrics and that's what
24:55
hip hop has been about so it it kind of
24:57
brought attention to to hip-hop in a way
25:00
that we hadn't been paying attention to
25:02
like like when when the last what's the
25:04
last song you like was was talking to
25:07
your homie about man you hear them bars
25:09
you heard them bars or I'm I'm reciting
25:11
These Bars I I listened and I don't do
25:14
that with a lot of lot of music I might
25:16
hear it but I don't listen all the time
25:17
so that was it was just beautiful for
25:19
hip-hop beautiful congratulations to
25:21
both of them and um and I know they they
25:24
should take a
25:25
break go on vacation do something
25:29
yeah on vacation good you should I'm
25:32
about to go on vacation off of that [ __ ]
25:34
um when when I hear y'all talk
25:37
about you know your your perspective on
25:40
these battles on sampling on knowing
25:42
music um on Legacy on even moving
25:45
forward and I start thinking about when
25:48
I looked at the wise up video you know
25:51
and and what that represents and it made
25:52
me wonder is that the direction like
25:55
what's the direction to the album going
25:56
to be but wise up to me
25:58
s sums up all these things with saying
26:02
um the this album I wanted to be like
26:07
you know have hip-hop joints and then
26:09
have fun joints and then have few that
26:13
make you think and then have just some
26:17
you know hip hop boom bap scratching
26:20
noise you know and it's an even album
26:24
you know what do you mean by even you
26:25
get because I'm giving you different
26:27
okay
26:28
types of Records yeah I feel like the
26:31
like to me some of the best albums show
26:34
that they give you different colors in
26:36
it different sounds like within a sound
26:38
but it's still like I would say the
26:40
basis and the and the thread of of this
26:43
music that we created is like boom bap
26:45
and it's soul rap like the rap it's like
26:47
a boom bap to it but it's and it's got
26:50
soul music that's elevating and the raps
26:52
are A Soulful you know and and um you
26:55
know Wise up is like to me Pete said
26:58
that he was like that's a New York beat
27:00
I was like it's a New York beat and I'm
27:02
a Chicago MC and I love the combination
27:04
of that cuz I ain't like have to I don't
27:06
lose my chicagoist wherever I go and I
27:08
don't lose my MCN so it was like a dope
27:11
beat for me to just rhyme to and like
27:13
get and go into different spaces with I
27:16
get that but then some of the music
27:18
Peter give me a a ill Baseline he you
27:20
know how great he is with the bines the
27:23
baselines and and I can go somewhere
27:25
conceptually that like I feel like I'm
27:28
at home on Pete Rock's musican it's like
27:31
this is like the music that always has
27:34
sparked me and touched my soul y'all
27:35
know I Venture off as a as an artist and
27:37
going to different music when I'm
27:38
feeling it but I was just grateful that
27:40
I was feeling this boom bap and that
27:42
Pete was giving me something that we
27:45
created something that's fresh that's
27:46
new it doesn't as much as it's got the
27:48
spirit of of what the 90s was it's it's
27:51
a new sound it's a new sound yeah here
27:54
it is wise up Pete Rock common 888 74 4
27:58
2 3 3 4 5 let's go brand new single
28:02
common Pete Rock call Wise up the album
28:06
is
28:07
called the auditorium volume one yeah
28:11
volume one meaning there going to be
28:14
AUM we going to get a volume two we
28:17
already started man be H like yo send me
28:20

28:26
it is you know you know live once man we
28:29
live once we were just saying that we
28:31
live live just go for it I'm go for it
28:35
too that's I used to always be upset
28:38
about how artists don't do more with
28:41
each other like artists two MC's do a
28:44
album with a producer that's known or
28:46
you know I always felt some type of way
28:49
about because after you know me I'm a
28:53
record collector and vinyl and I see
28:55
musicians playing with each other I see
28:57
Miles Davis I see John C Alice C TR all
29:02
these Charles Mingus all these jazz
29:04
artists that I mean I just said like you
29:07
like I just said we live once and I feel
29:10
like some of us in Hip Hop need to do
29:12
that need to do it more while we here
29:14
right that's why we are here you going
29:17
to rhy on the album volume two I was
29:19

29:20

you're a
35:50
vegan vegan I'm vegan you're 100% vegan
35:53
yes so if you're a vegan that's
35:55
something that you should know and lab
35:58
and a lot of companies don't label that
36:00
they're vegan because it costs extra
36:02
money for bottling so you wouldn't know
36:05
if it was vegan or not but we had
36:07
someone come up here today to get you
36:09
pure vegan wi see this is the vegan
36:12
stamp on it so I made sure I took care
36:14
of I'm going pay attention y'all
36:16
educated I needed thatz I drink
36:19
wine we going to hook them up with the
36:21
har Wine Guy you got we got the right
36:24
person for
36:27
you need your own
36:33
somala so that's that's that's all I had
36:36
to say today blessed
36:38
us yeah Com when sway was commenting on
36:42
your skill set and how often you
36:44
practice um and I'm so happy that you
36:46
can feel the appetite we have for
36:48
lyricism because even before you and
36:50
Pete walked in and I was just reflecting
36:52
on the song wise up and I was like God
36:54
damn like common double onon throughout
36:58
this are crazy and there's some double
36:59
on tandas that are witty and I love that
37:02
too but then there are some that are
37:04
really deep where I pause and I'll be
37:06
like did this artist really intend that
37:09
second meaning that I I hope that they
37:11
did and there was like one in particular
37:13
I would love for you to break down and
37:17
maybe even share like when it comes to a
37:19
a deep multi-layer double on Tandra like
37:23
are all the meanings present at once or
37:26
are you like I feel like I could do
37:27
something let me think about it so we
37:29
going to do a lyrical breakdown you want
37:31
to do a lyrical breakdown with Comm cuz
37:33
I got a lyric that needs breaking down
37:35
cuz it's damn too
37:37
good wait before you before you say
37:40
anything don't breaking down the lyrics
37:43
you may not understand what the hell did
37:45
you just say it's the lycal breakdown I
37:48
can break it down like whatever you want
37:50
unway in the morning what you going to
37:52
say Pete oh I was just going to say Ste
37:54
sharp and steel when it comes between me
37:57
and this man right here I can only
37:59
imagine bro y on the playground when
38:01
y'all in the studio I already know and
38:04
everyone's a mirror for the other okay
38:06
so so this bar is really playful and I
38:09
feel like it starts to set it up why is
38:10
like the old man with food in his beard
38:12
and so I looked at the wise chips when
38:14
he's eating it and it get stuck in his
38:16
beard right right and then right here
38:19
and when he Cry Freedom it's jewels in
38:22
his tears Blues in the beers outside
38:25
interference yeah break that break the
38:27
cuz there's history in that yes for sure
38:30
whether the wise like the old man with
38:31
food in his beard we all been around old
38:33
man uncles and stuff that got that keep
38:36
their food in that food being they beard
38:38
they be talking to you be like man
38:41
please chip Chips little food and stuff
38:44
and then so then I you know I I think
38:47
it's wisdom in those I was just really
38:49
referencing how those some of those
38:51
people like my uncles and some of the
38:53
most like intoxicated men that I met
38:56
that would have food in their bed was
38:57
still wise they had wisdom and I would
39:00
listen to that wisdom so I was thinking
39:01
about that when I was like wise like the
39:03
old man with food in his bed and when he
39:05
cried freedom is jewels in his tears I'm
39:08
saying like like everything he's been
39:10
through is jewels in that and he and
39:12
like whatever he's talking about
39:14
whatever he's sheding to you it's a
39:15
jewel in that so in that freedom like
39:18
and and when he crying Freedom you know
39:19
I was playing on it's a word I mean it's
39:21
a movie I think that was
39:23
called yeah so I was playing on when he
39:25
CED freedom is
39:28
is was was it Denzel Denzel so when he
39:32
cross okay
39:35
sway you mad cuz I got it
39:37
right hat I love y brothers and sisters
39:41
boy funny I love it and then uh blues
39:45
and the beers I'm talking about I kind
39:47
of referring to Chicago like the blues
39:50
and how we dealing with blues and the
39:52
beers you know um blues and the beers
39:55
outside interferes I'm talking about the
39:57
outside noise that can interfere with
40:00
with with us the outside outside
40:02
interferes like it can interfere with
40:05
the way we think of where we going to
40:07
when we need to wise up outside outside
40:10
so here's what's incredible about art
40:12
too and the interpretation and how you
40:14
may not even realize just how much the
40:18
Divine is working through you because I
40:20
saw that but then I also saw for blues
40:23
and the beers outside interference I'm
40:25
thinking about Blues which also so you
40:27
know can represent a $100 bill yes then
40:30
I was thinking about beers and thinking
40:32
about that Corporation the beers that is
40:34
responsible for making diamonds really
40:36
popular which has also like obviously
40:40
oppressed African nations you know what
40:42
I mean and going and going back to that
40:44
line and when he cries Freedom it's
40:46
jewels and his tears I was thinking
40:48
about how a lot of people have in our
40:51
community have such an attachment to
40:54
materialism yeah oh God damn that's how
40:57
I yo you made it Doper than he did you
41:00
made you made it way Doper than I did
41:02
and that's why I thought with the the
41:04
wise like I thought he was eating the
41:06
chip to watch
41:08
chipy you don't got now now when I write
41:11
my songs I'mma have you come and make
41:13
them
41:14
better like you got to come to the
41:18
studio get her [ __ ] can she be on volume
41:23
too but I love that you listening to the
41:26
lyrics like that and that's one of the
41:28
most beautiful things about art man like
41:31
and music and like even in the painting
41:34
but you know but in lyrics sometimes I
41:36
thought MC's was saying this but they
41:38
actually saying that but that's just the
41:40
the beauty of what with art when it got
41:42
depth and I was for sure like wanting to
41:44
give them double ananas and have words
41:46
used have different meanings CU I felt
41:48
like people were open to it sometimes
41:51
you it's times like in my career or in
41:55
hip in Hip Hop's life that I felt like
41:57
people ain't paying as much attention to
41:59
lyrics or it just it just didn't but for
42:01
some reason Within These past few years
42:03
I've been feeling like okay people are
42:06
actually listening and even now what we
42:08
just talked about with the battles and
42:10
different things people are listening so
42:12
hell yeah I love that too Tracy that was
42:14
amazing yeah that was that was amazing
42:17
give it up give it up for Tracy G she
42:19
earned her spot all
42:22
right
42:25
over your Mike won't you close up I know
42:27
you wanted to jump in with these Legends
42:29
man I did so going to be a conversation
42:31
with you both as always I wanted to pick
42:33
up comment where you left off uh you
42:34
made a statement about the Battle Raps
42:36
and you're just talking about
42:38
freestyling it's okay if it's written
42:40
down or if it comes from the Dome as
42:42
long as it's your best in your greatest
42:44
we were having a conversation around AI
42:46
um and talking about Google and YouTube
42:49
using this new AI sandbox the goal is to
42:51
democratize so that more Independent
42:53
Artists and producers can get in um into
42:56
the process I'm wondering from your both
42:58
perspectives what are your thoughts on
43:00
the use of AI in music and the music
43:02
creating process um particularly as we
43:04
talk about it as an art form I would
43:06
love Pete to to on I mean you know it's
43:10
it's two sides to to AI you know it's a
43:12
good side and the bad side so me I'm all
43:15
for the good side I'm with the light and
43:17
you know I want to do something
43:20
interesting if I'm going to use AI you
43:22
know but to me the bad side of it is
43:25
like the the copying of of original
43:28
voices of the artists you know and it's
43:31
not them you know what I'm saying I have
43:33
a problem with that part of AI yeah and
43:36
I feel like you know the the internet
43:38
could be used for good it could be used
43:40
for bad um technology life you know it
43:43
depends on how we use things with power
43:47
can be used for good used for bad so AI
43:49
for me is like man we could use it for
43:52
good and I and I was one who was
43:54
honestly doing commercials with
43:56
Microsoft talking about Ai and I was
43:59
learning about it as I was talking about
44:01
it and seeing what it was doing how it
44:02
was doing good for people like that was
44:05
dealing with blindness or about to go
44:06
blind and how it was helping them um it
44:08
was how was helping some people identify
44:10
certain things medically that so I could
44:13
see the benefits of it but I agree with
44:16
Pete when it comes to like okay I don't
44:19
want AI taking my likeness without my
44:21
permission you know somebody using AI to
44:24
take my likeness that's what the whole
44:25
thing with the acting when the actor
44:27
strike was going on that was one of the
44:28
the points and like I think even with
44:30
our voices in music I wouldn't want
44:32
anybody using my voice without me giving
44:35
that approval because they could use my
44:36
voice in a way that I wouldn't and
44:38
that's why I'm also like not for when
44:41
initially when when um what what you
44:43
tler made freestyle yeah well no I'm
44:45
saying I wasn't even for
44:48
those the the Hologram the
44:51
H they had the Tupac hologram early on I
44:55
feel like you know when somebody is
44:57
passed you know God bless their soul we
45:00
don't know if they would want to be used
45:02
in that way so for me a and I a AI I'm
45:06
like n like let's let's use it wisely
45:08
let's wise up wise
45:11
up you just mentioned when somebody pass
45:13
and this is for both of y'all you can
45:15
start first Biggie he would have been 52
45:18
years old yesterday and we we were
45:20
sitting here like damn like his career
45:23
and and to think that he only put out
45:25

45:27
um did y'all have a chance any one of
45:29
you to work with him and just like if
45:31
you could just speak about big CU I just
45:33
feel like somewhere in all of this stuff
45:35

45:37

45:40
