2:42
proper sense to put it on display for
2:44
the world
2:45
come on man rick hyde ladies and
2:47
gentlemen rick hyde listen that that
2:49
song mama love
2:52
i liked it
2:54
this is actually
2:55
in place the original this place too but
2:57
in place when you had the shamia joint
2:59
right
3:00
yeah that's the original that's the
3:02
first mama love uh that's mama love part
3:04
one i'll play it too i wanted to go mama
3:07
love part two i wanted to get a little
3:08
bit more personal it was more it was i
3:10
cried right in this play i ain't gonna
3:12
lie to you man it's like one of the most
3:13
heartfelt things i ever wrote in my life
3:15
and it was like i wanted to like really
3:17
write a personalized letter to my mom
3:20
about what's been going on what she's
3:22
been missing the past couple years
3:24
um like how everything's been going how
3:27
people have been treating me and
3:28
perceiving me differently
3:30
um i just wanted to talk to my mom one
3:32
last time and i kind of and i kind of
3:34
feel like i grasped that moment yeah
3:37
yeah that that song is is very powerful
3:39
one of the lines you say in it
3:42
and i think
3:43
this this this is a universal line
3:46
because growing up where you guys grew
3:47
up in the environment that you grew up
3:49
and when you listen to the music you you
3:51
know what you know you had the 50 grams
3:53
of packs in your freezer only worth 3k
3:55
but that was your that was your life at
3:57
one point you know what i mean right man
4:01
yeah and so
4:02
i think we we we'd be dealing with
4:04
self-love issues and don't even know it
4:07
but you was able to bring that to light
4:08
when you said your mama was in love with
4:10
me when i wasn't even in love with
4:12
myself that was one of the lyrics you
4:14
said in uh the shamia joining um
4:17
break that down i know we talked about a
4:19
different song but that lyric stood out
4:21
to me always man break that down
4:25
my mom was like my mom was my biggest
4:27
supporter no matter if i was doing right
4:29
wrong whatever my mom was gonna thought
4:32
from you she was gonna hold me down she
4:34
was gone she was gonna go to bat for me
4:36
she was gonna bring up points that would
4:38
make my point stronger any my mom was my
4:41
ride or died man like i love that lady
4:43
to death i'ma mention her name every
4:45
chance i get i'm gonna speak on her
4:47
every chance i get to keep her name
4:48
alive and and that's really what that
4:50
lyric embodies right there was a support
4:53
that my mom had for me like no matter
4:55
what what i was doing and sometimes my
4:58
mom knew i was wrong but she was like
5:00
nah this my baby this my son whatever
5:02
whatever he say go
5:04
so
5:05
that lyric just embodies the support
5:07
that my mom had for me and um
5:10
like man i i just man
5:12
it's just getting me emotional right now
5:14
just thinking about the lady and just
5:16
thinking about certain times but
5:18
yeah man that man every lyric in that
5:20
song and both songs i meant man and and
5:24
it's all true like i'm not
5:26
like like when we when you write when we
5:28
write
5:29
if the world if the world didn't know
5:31
now you do understand that certain
5:33
lyrics you just can't make up
5:35
mm-hmm right here
5:37
like certain raps certain raps you hear
5:39
him and be like okay maybe that's a
5:40
facade maybe maybe he might be capping
5:43
but nah whenever i try to write i try to
5:45
be as real as possible try to be as
5:47
authentic as possible and that's what
5:49
helps gravitate to mass appeal
5:51
there it is man rick hyde plays two it's

10:40

10:46
difficult man especially when we make
10:48
the kind of music and the kind of
10:50
aesthetic that we stick to um like you
10:53
don't see it a lot you don't see it
10:55
you barely see it
10:56
so yeah i mean i'm happy i'm happy jada
10:58
kissing him on the verses because that
11:00
brought a lot of light back to the
11:02
lyrics
11:04
like that that was a step like that was
11:05
a win for all of us like i i loved every
11:08
moment of that yeah i'm saying so shout
11:10
out to be listening child to kiss man
11:13
that's the big homie
11:14
oh but yeah man like it it's tough right
11:17
now in music yes
11:19
it's tough
11:22
i recognize it
11:24
every fan whoever whoever listens
11:26
whoever listens whoever's man i did
11:29
amazing my first week with my uh with my
11:32
album fire streams though and i i
11:34
couldn't even fathom what i was gonna do
11:36
so shout out to every fan that still
11:38
still respect and acknowledge real music
11:41
there you go man
11:44
trigger right speaking of um lyrics and
11:48
our appreciation of them i'm thinking of
11:51
the song alone with you benny and g
11:55
herbo and there was a line that really
11:57
struck struck me where you say guess god
11:59
needed an angel and i needed an angle
12:02
where you're speaking about your mother
12:04
and i wondered if that meant
12:07
that in a very
12:08
twisted form of irony or even you know a
12:11
silver lining that your mother passing
12:14
has made it easier
12:15
for you to write
12:18
yeah yeah like like it gave me it's
12:21
opened my mind up more if i become more
12:23
vulnerable with my pain
12:25
um
12:26
at first at first when i was writing it
12:28
was more like even when i came on there
12:30
the first time i was more oriented or
12:32
oriented uh i was trying to like i was
12:35
just trying to captivate people's minds
12:36
with what i was saying instead of just
12:38
speaking my truth and my story um when
12:41
it when it got time to get album mode i
12:43
kind of started out i started out that
12:45
way as well
12:46
but then um like my mom passed and then
12:49
shea passed and then i i was gonna i was
12:52
i want to say i was in a dark spot in my
12:54
head
12:54
but i was i was more into it i was more
12:57
of a it opened my mind up to think more
13:00
it's like yo it's like express yourself
13:01
bro like talk about it like um like no
13:04
matter what just put it all on the pair
13:06
put it all on the pad talk about it and
13:09
and i guess god needed an angel and not
13:10
even an angle and because it's like soon
13:13
as i got to talking about my mom and
13:14
what she's and what she stood for in my
13:16
life and how her death affected me i
13:20
started getting all types of recognition
13:22
from everywhere because a lot of people
13:24
got my same similar story they just
13:26
don't know how to express themselves
13:27
right so i i like to i like to allow my
13:30
lyrics as a way for people to
13:32
vicariously live through yeah i mean for
13:33
me
13:34
so so i
13:36
man because god needed an angel and not
13:38
even an angle
13:39
that's the real [ __ ] bro
13:43
come on
13:45
i got bark rakai got barred yeah
13:47
hey um
13:48
[Applause]
13:50
the trajectory of griselda is amazing
13:52
it's beautiful it should be a case study
13:54
for hip-hop
13:56
um
13:57
in my opinion you know just watching you
13:59
guys and then and even with the jay-z
14:02
connect and you know i know you sat in
14:04
rooms with [ __ ] now
14:05
and i know benny has put you everywhere
14:08
he's been
14:09
you know and so what was your what
14:12
how surreal was it for you when you're
14:14
in the same office with jay-z and
14:18
were you nervous like what was the first
14:20
thing he said to you you said to him
14:24
i was i was
14:25
yeah we all was nervous i came here come
14:28
on come on
14:31
[Laughter]
14:37
we met jay the same day that he did the
14:39
deal with the nfl with rodney wow
14:43
we bet him that he actually came from
14:45
downstairs with roger goodell enough and
14:46
came down to the room and met with us so
14:49
he was already running he had he was
14:51
going first thing he walked into we are
14:53
we all in there buffalo we all laughed
14:55
we all got our we you know we chilling
14:57
we possied up we look like naughty by
14:59
nature
15:04
he comes down the hallway he comes down
15:06
the hallway everybody's just tightened
15:08
up you start seeing people fix the
15:10
correct they posture people sitting up
15:12
in chairs fixing their shirt so he come
15:14
down the hall and like the first thing
15:16
he say is uh he pound us all up because
15:18
you know it's mid corona so he pounded
15:20
us all let me tell i don't want to get
15:21
nobody sit he said the kids got me a
15:23
little under the weather i don't want to
15:24
get nobody sick so we sit in there for a
15:27
second it's quiet
15:28
and hoes just blurt right out he's like
15:30
he said what y'all want to do man y'all
15:32
want to sign the paperwork i want a
15:33
drink he said man you know what pass me
15:35
that ace man we bout to
15:36
[Laughter]
15:39
oh got drink pouring out glasses of
15:40
champagne he's like man play the music
15:42
he's like man we're signing the papers
15:43
man he's like ain't nobody's going
15:45
nowhere till he's trying to pay for it
15:48
he's like man but play the music man let
15:49
me hear some of that music so we started
15:51
going through the music and that's when
15:52
we just every at least like all the
15:54
tension just fell off and everybody just
15:56
started relaxing chilling everybody
15:58
that's what that's when you see all
15:59
those viral videos where everybody
16:01
nodding they had and everybody because
16:03
we listened to some of the new stuff
16:04
well at that moment it was new and it
16:07
was just that that was a surreal
16:08
experience because it's whole
16:11
first family hip-hop billionaires
16:12
rappers
16:14
so so it's like so you you get you get
16:17
intimidated a little bit until he
16:19
actually show you like no i'm i'm sean
16:21
carter man from brooklyn i'm i'm cool
16:23
i'm schooling i'm chilling i'm coolish
16:25
so i mean it was a humbling experience
16:27
it just let me know it just let me know
16:29
the value of humbleness
16:30
it has no it has no like it has no like
16:33
low level no high level you feel me it's
16:35
like humbleness is it
16:37
humbleness reciprocate
16:40
yeah i mean you got to be a real [ __ ]
16:43
word up there you go big [ __ ] facts
16:47
that is exactly what it is i love how
16:50
you broke down that experience you
16:51
allowing us and the listeners to kind of
16:53
live with you vicariously you know and
16:55
when i think of that i think about the
16:57
black sinatra
16:58
uh video and you see i don't know what
17:02
man i you know i thought it was dope you
17:04
know you see i i guess that's the
17:05
neighborhood i don't know who who's all
17:07
those people behind y'all in the video
17:09
but all i imagine is
17:12
you know now that your star is rising
17:14
the same way benny has done it
17:17
you doing it for someone else that's
17:19
from your same area and coming home and
17:21
telling these stories yo we were sitting
17:23
with hov he came downstairs are you
17:26
getting a chance to relay all that back
17:27
to folks in buffalo
17:30
yeah yeah uh we actually started short
17:34
headlining the tour with benny the bird
17:36
in the plugs tour i got like i got my
17:38
own set i got my own pyrotechnics and
17:41
graphics i got my own staff my own
17:43
dressing room so i i got to appoint my
17:46
own staff for this so like i mean so
17:48
it's like kind of it's kind of broke bro
17:50
just uh bro just kind of not passing the
17:52
torch yet but gives me a little bit of
17:54
leeway showing me the ropes giving me
17:55
some power let me i mean with great
17:58
power comes great responsibility so he
18:00
let me learn through experience and
18:01
that's why i love my brother so much
18:03
because uh he's patient with me he
18:05
trusts me any any of and he gives me
18:08
enough rope to where i'm not hanging
18:10
myself but i'm actually learning how to
18:12
how to how to twine that and make more
18:14
rope you know what i'm saying so i i
18:16
appreciate i appreciate my brother to
18:18
