0:00
over 900 songs written. I watched your
0:03
head just sit up like, "Wow, that's me."
0:07
And we've been having private
0:08
conversations about the dangers of
0:10
laziness, just overall. And it takes a
0:13
certain amount of discipline, I would
0:15
say, and obedience to pen that much.
0:21
Um if you're if you're comfortable with
0:22
sharing, what what's [clears throat]
0:24
your your practice with that? Is this
0:26
every day you in whether the song gets
0:30
is it once a week? If you don't mind
0:33
sharing because you you have to be
0:35
extremely disciplined to do what you're
0:37
doing. Or or discipline and bliss. Amen.
0:40
I ain't going to hold you like I like
0:43
um but I'm I'm going to share like a
0:45
little story. Like I used to like
0:47
I I wrote a a big song off of shrooms
0:49
one day. Like I was taking shrooms in
0:50
the studio. Was it by flower or
0:54
>> Chocolate. Chocolate shrooms, bro. And I
0:56
was like, "Oh man, I'm going to have to
0:58
do that again cuz this is a this is a
1:01
So, I was like, "No, I can't rely. I'm
1:04
not going to like subject my craft to
1:07
these shrooms." So, I I went cold turkey
1:10
on shrooms in the studio. Mhm. In the
1:12
studio. Like early cool, but like and
1:15
then I was just like, "I'm just going to
1:16
pray." Like pray, "God, you're the
1:18
writer. I'll be the co-writer." That's
1:20
my prayer every time I get in the studio
1:23
and I go in because I don't want none
1:25
else to like to type temper my like you
1:28
said, my gift. But uh with me
1:31
man, I I I write You can ask my friends.
1:35
five five songs a night.
1:39
like four hooks and a real song. I I
1:42
never do like a second verse if I'm if
1:46
pitch out songs, I would like first
1:48
verse, pre-hook, hook. Okay.
1:50
>> If you get that, you could take that and
1:51
like do what you want with it. So, like
1:54
that's how I used to write, but like
1:55
literally, I'm tired.
1:59
I'm so over I'm done. Like I'm like I've
2:02
been saying this for the longest like I
2:04
I have like lost the love of being a
2:07
You know what I'm saying? Like I'm going
2:08
to always write because, you know, my
2:10
artistry. Like thank God you know, this
2:14
is doing what I see it's going to going
2:18
yeah, like it just I'm over it. Like so
2:22
many people have diluted my love for
2:25
this [ __ ] So, now it's like
2:27
yeah, y'all don't even deserve my [ __ ]
2:29
[ __ ] Y'all [ __ ] bugging. Mhm.
2:32
[ __ ] when you put the whisper on it,
2:33
that [ __ ] sounds sinister. Well,
2:35
>> I don't thank you. Nah, ain't nothing
2:37
sinister about it. It's just God energy.
2:40
Like sometimes, you know, God was all
2:42
his disciples was some thugs, too. Don't
2:45
>> Don't get it messed up, but that's why I
2:46
used the word, Jazzy, obedience because
2:49
I understand that what what exactly what
2:51
you're saying. And we do get tired.
2:54
But when you're called to do certain
2:56
things, you know, we we've been saying
2:58
follow the plan and not the mood. So,
3:00
when God got a plan for you, that that
3:02
you're going to be that instrument.
3:03
>> Yo, thank you. No, I and I stayed the
3:05
course. Like, you know, like stayed the
3:07
course because I'm not going to hold you
3:08
like I love it. You know what I'm
3:10
saying? When you find the right artist
3:11
or the right person that that that
3:15
uh work relationships and like nurture
3:17
relationships, you're in a good space.
3:19
But I think people don't
3:21
like the industry has spoiled so many
3:23
people that we don't know how to like
3:24
actually nurture each other, bro. Y'all
3:27
just use use use use. You're supposed to
3:30
use, but you y'all misuse misuse misuse
3:32
misuse. You know what I'm saying? So,
3:34
I can't I ain't I'm straight, bro. Do
3:36
you feel like that's happened to you cuz
3:38
the you said it tired of people diluting
3:41
what it is you bring. What does that
3:43
[clears throat] mean? Like how do they
3:44
dilute it? I mean, it's just the the the
3:49
the love. Like for Like I'll give an
3:51
example, right? If I do a song, right?
3:54
It's a hit. I give it to a artist. The
3:58
I just like I said, I don't do first I
4:00
only do first verse, pre-hook, right?
4:03
As a merit, I do that because you you
4:05
either want to write the second verse or
4:07
if you want to bring other people in,
4:14
when you you like when you could have
4:16
just hit me like, "Yo, can you finish
4:17
the song?" Instead you go to another
4:21
who you think is a big writer Mhm. with
4:25
and then give them the the song and they
4:27
don't do it justice. Now
4:29
you're coming to me desperation hours
4:31
cuz you're ready Now I got to drop You
4:33
want me to drop everything I'm doing
4:34
when you could have just hit me. You
4:36
know what I'm saying? It's things like
4:38
that that's like then you got to ask a
4:40
question, "So, why didn't you just hit
4:42
You know, oh oh you you're thinking
4:44
about the name like I'm not a hitmaker.
4:46
All right, so okay, so you just you're
4:48
diluting who I am because like you could
4:51
I could have finished it and we y'all
4:52
could have been good. You know what I'm
4:54
saying? But instead, you just tried to
4:58
yo, no, I need so-and-so because they're
4:59
hot right now. They they're hot right
5:01
now. They're hot right now with
5:02
They're not But they didn't do it. They
5:04
don't know what they're doing.
5:05
>> Yeah. Yeah. They just hot right now cuz
5:06
they're rocking with a certain type of
5:09
>> your crew is everything in this [ __ ]
5:11
You know what I'm saying? You got the
5:12
right crew, you can win.
5:13
Yo, I have never heard the song
