don't play no games L coming and I'm gonna be a type man so you get you get that too you get that too yo when you first got in the game right did you think you would still be in the game today well you know um I mean you know first of all thanks for having me I appreciate it glad to be here man thanks for sure I mean I I would say um you know I always believe that nothing lasts forever but it can last a lifetime you know what I'm saying and um you know that's all I was in it for you know what I'm saying I loved it from the beginning you know what I'm saying like when you love something from the beginning it was always this big in my mind right like it has to be huge in your mind before it could be huge in reality right you know what I'm saying so it was always huge in my mind it was always something like that I just really believed in and loved so um it doesn't surprise me that the game as a whole a culture as a whole has been around this long you know it's about artists staying creative staying Innovative caring about what you do not just doing it just to be doing it but actually doing it for the art form and loving it right and because of that the longevity comes from that true passion and really caring about it and there are a lot of people in the game who do really care about the art in the game itself the culture itself so um did I see it being like worldwide and as commercial as it is now not necessarily but I didn't like I'd never underestimated it you know me right yeah now when you when you first got in that Booth who took you to the stew like who put you in the game or you just so so it's a few things so first of all I became a fan of hip-hop at like eight nine years old you know what I'm saying I was listening to you know cold Crush feel is full fantastic romantic treacherous um you know like Grandma like Grandma's The Flash and Furious 4 before there was a furious five you know listening to Zulu bamboo all the different artists that were you know doing tapes and everything foursome sees from Staten Island you know what I'm saying I was listening to all that you feel what I'm saying that was first um in terms of I started writing when I was around 11 or 12. um you know first first I started off just kind of rapping whatever I heard on the tapes because dudes like yo we like your voice yo say this and I'll be saying the Rhymes that I heard on the tapes and then I started writing my own thing the first time I went to Studio actually my uncle took me in the studio I was like 14. and he took me in the studio and I did this record in Swahili um bossy Somali nasikia and all that it was fun yeah so I went I went in the studio but then um you know I really that's when I started striving to make a demo I started trying to get on at age 14. and uh you know when I was 16 that's when you know we started Def Jam Tila Rock had the song it's yours you know what I'm saying and uh that was on Def Jam production it was on a party time StreetWise label I bought that song wrote you know wrote the name down wrote the address down send Rick a tape called him every day Rick Rubin every day called him every day he had a office in his dorm room you know what I'm saying at NYU you know what I'm saying so I went up there and uh you know the rest is history avrock and the Beastie Boys he actually made the drum beat on the song and uh Rick kind of he executive produced it and put the pieces of the puzzle together and the rest is history you know Def Jam was born and you know all of this stuff that we you know know now became you know that's what it was absolutely you know you know me it's crazy when you the first is your first show right you know you go into the thing you know you had a manager at the time or you was no no first there were no managers in hip-hop when I started there were no managers there were no anr there were no Executives think about this hold on think about this oh yeah he like ain't nobody could tell us what the [ __ ] [ __ ] the only manager was that like Red Lobster Red Lobster you know what I mean but um no managers it was uh look Russell was an executive um he acted like a you know a manager and he was a promoter like we just like we were making our way there was no industry like there was no network of people that knew hip-hop that understood the culture you know so everything was brand new remember when I started they didn't even play hip-hop on the radio in the daytime you know what I'm saying like that was when like you would only get it for like a couple of hours on a weekend you know what I'm saying so like like I'm talking back like when Lady B was making records yeah you know what I'm saying like you know what I'm saying it was like like that you know what I'm saying like when I was going to like after midnight in Philly yeah they were still when I was going to aftermath so when I um when I would go out out there like that was a Vibe so it was it was really about you just had to learn your way you know what I'm saying you had to figure out what it is you were trying to do and we just believed in the beauty of our dreams you know what I'm saying and that was it and so so you you booked your own first show so yeah my first show I don't know how it came about um it was just kind of like Word of Mouth yo dude asked me yo you want to do a show I did it at Manhattan Center it was a high school you know what I'm saying they pushed on the lunchroom um tables together me and my man Cut Creator was on our way up there the axle broke on his car when the axle broke on the car then we had like we had to walk like 10 15 blocks to the Joint he's like yo my car I'm like man leave that [ __ ] here man we gotta go right and so he's like you want to rock that dude we just walked and rocked it rocked the show after the show you know it's the first time we signed autographs he's like yo he looked at me I'm looking at he was like yo I like this I'm like yeah I like this [ __ ] too you know what I'm saying we saw the autographs for the first time and they pushed the lunchroom there's actually some pitches online of that actual event you know when I did I need a beat you know what I'm saying and that that was actually 84. I had been rhyming for many years at that point but that was my first professional show you know what I'm saying in 84. at what point did you know it was real like hold on wait I got some so you know it's funny you say that I mean honestly I knew it was real when I was when I used to look at Grandmaster Flash records and look at listen to their tapes and imagine myself on the other side of the vinyl and on the other side of the cassette tape or the cold Crush tape it was already real for me yeah um when I knew that I had a real opportunity for me you know as an artist is when I got that that first song I need to be we did my first song I need to be I didn't even have a contract we just did it I did it on the label Def Jam and all no contract I just we just did the song like I wasn't even tripping off of that I just wanted to be on you know what I'm saying because I figured like you know if you put me on once you put me on I'm I'm I'll figure it out all I need is you know a shot that's how I felt you know what I'm saying like whatever you know I got to get it you know I mean I've always been like that I'm very aggressive you know what I mean so I had to have it so once I got that shot and then when I got the deal you know I remember coming on to my mother saying ma they gonna let me do 10 albums because I had a 10 album contract absolutely do that real quick nowadays that sounds like insane yeah but back then it was like I would I wished it was 30. yeah you know what I'm saying because that would be like the equivalent of getting an NBA contract like for 10 years or 20 or three years like you would rather like at that time now it's different you know people are all more sophisticated there's more information out there people understand leverage and options you know their options and all that but back then there was that was the way in right and that was the way to your dream it represented the doorway to your dream that [ __ ] was like having a golden door and it was a Genie in front of that [ __ ] saying yo come through here and you good right it's like you you say less right and then at those times to go somewhere else it's like where you going where the [ __ ] I'm going yeah where you going like you got you got about four or five independent labels that are messing with the music right it's only about three like three maybe three four labels that's really messing with the music the rest of them are doing a lot of dance stuff a little pseudo hip-hop right you know so it's not there was no industry right you know what I mean you're going in a radio station you know at that time you know what I'm saying program directors are looking you're like [ __ ] is this where's Cameo you know what I'm saying like where the commodore's at who are you where's Rick James you know like it was that kind of a world we were living in so it was um it's amazing man it's a blessing I'm very grateful too you know what I'm saying like really really grateful because I didn't know it was going to become what it became you know what I mean yeah for that I'm real grateful when it comes to saving money as a small business owner every little bit help yeah

foo young on me yo and we could go to the movies and we good good I'm doing sure I was it was incredible so then but life it really took on a life of its own and you know I did real well by the grace of God and you know I bought my mother a house when I was 17. you know what I'm saying um you know because I made my first record I started when I was 16. like I became I turned professional I became a professional recording artist at 16 years old yeah you know what I'm saying and I was again like I told you I was listening as a fan at eight started writing at 11 or 12. 14 started looking for demos and at 16 I made you know my first song you know what I'm saying so it's like you know this this whole thing for me was like this is all I've ever done my entire life right like I'm hip hop right you know what I'm saying like it's the first time I ever heard uh LL was yeah I was like 12 years old like who the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] that's my second album that was it what year would that had to be like 80 that was 87 87 87 like 11 12 years old yeah but you're saying something very important when did you you said you owned your Masters when did you inquire them yeah on my catalog so I um I got my catalog back like you know just before 2000 around that time around the 2000s damn and um you know I just uh you know it just worked out well you know what I'm saying I was able to um so now when you like if you hear LL Cool J song in a movie or if you hear my song in the commercial I've licensed that song you know what I mean absolutely and a lot of people you know but that's a blessing right like there before the grace of God you know what I'm saying like it just worked out I got a lot of bites at the Apple and I was born to do what I'm doing you know what I'm saying like I'm not I'm not a dude that's just doing hip-hop because I'm doing like I was literally born to do it you know what I'm saying like this is really what I do for real like all day like I eat breathe and sleep this forever you know what I'm saying so it's like I'm glad that that happened but I had no idea that it would happen you know and even but I got to keep it real like Russell and Rick and them they didn't bang me out financially like I didn't go through a Horror Story right like even when I first started I had we did 50 50 on my publishing when I started now of course I own all my publishing now but but think about it I'm talking about in in early 80s first of all yeah first of all they could have got me look bro they could have like yo first of all in the 80s [ __ ] didn't even hear the word publishing yeah exactly and so you know exactly so my grandma my grandmother her sister got me a lawyer and um it just all worked out for me you know what I'm saying and uh what can I say be like you know it's beautiful because because I'm Gonna Keep it all the way real most of the old rapper stories are horror stories yeah yeah a lot of it you know a lot of it is also choices and decision making see one of the things though that's important um yeah it definitely is a lot of people out there that took advantage of people um there's also you also have to make certain decisions you know what I'm saying and uh you got to know your value and uh you got to make decisions with with the long with with long-term relationships in mind and really understanding what it is you're trying to accomplish you know what I'm saying and but it's not easy man like listen you can't like like let me put it to you like this I never heard anybody talk about Miles Davis's bank account nobody cares no they made art he made art so a lot of artists with the the one thing that that I I don't want to see and I don't like to see is for us to say okay you're worth x amount of dollars so I should you have value that's that's not how it works right you know just because DJ Cool hurt doesn't have a billion dollars in the bank does not mean that he didn't make a contribution he started hip-hop yeah so let you know we gotta we gotta kind of like like some people have the gift of business right some people have the gift of art right some people have other gifts right so like just because somebody didn't monetize something doesn't mean they didn't want to it just means that maybe they missed the lick or didn't hit a thing or made a decision and it didn't go their way right you know what I'm saying right so I like that the reason I say that is because me I'm a dude I treat the janitor the same way I treat the President right you know what I'm saying and I treat people one because I'm sincere about how I treat them so I treat them good but then secondly I treat people like I'm gonna see them again right and you learn that in the street right but but I got to treat you like I'm gonna see you again right you know what I mean and I would like it to be a friendly interaction absolutely yes so you know when you're walking down a dude's neighborhood in his block and you you turn that corner and he's over there with 40 people this is the moment how did you treat them last time right I'm like oh you [ __ ] up like you say you when you speak a dudes like hurt right yeah he's a legend from the beginning he's still here he's still moving yeah that's it a lot because you got dudes that was popping probably went platinum 2019 ain't around no more they done they broke so so so yeah it's not no generational thing it's your business thing somebody might not be good at their business but it is a generational thing though because if like L said luckily Russell win he looked at them they didn't get over on them because he just wanted to be on so if they would have been like uh we ain't talk about publishing we don't know nothing about that he goes down there we gonna put you on he might have just signed it yeah there's no might in it right so now you gotta look you gotta look at the beginning of something when you don't know what something is you don't know what to expect you don't you just got dreams of being famous man I come from the ghetto man we ain't have nothing yeah I'm trying to get on man I'm just trying to get my mama something so they really took the beaten so that now these new artists now could sign for oh no I need I know my worth no I I commoditize this back then they didn't know how to monitor well there was no no there was nothing to monetize like you know what are you gonna do well let me see you could do is just like what are you gonna do right well how are you gonna monetize it yeah because because like like okay so I did a lot of things like right so you know like we did like we introduced true the clothing line to the world major you know what I'm saying and um you know I wore kangos I didn't have a deal with Kanga but I wore kangos and we popularized that right did you but then we but but then by the time but I learned my lessons through troop I made money with troop a little bit it did well but with Kango obviously I didn't do anything I still wear them though not a problem it's all love but then by the time I got to football I learned my lesson right so when I you know helped Damon and them get on and help you know that whole thing happen you know I'm one of the owners of football right so you know that you evolve absolutely you know what I'm saying you evolve and you you learn you know what I'm saying so what I did though one of the things I did with rock the bells the company it's not just the radio channel it's not just the festival it's not just the cruise it's an actual full company with content Commerce and experiences cool herc has equity in the company he owns a piece Big Daddy candles a piece Roxanne Shantae owns a piece Run DMC owns a piece um 55 Freddie owns a piece um wrist the graffiti artist Jonathan Manion the photographer salt and pepper on a piece um I made sure that different people had a piece you know what I'm saying Eminem actually invested too you know like I made sure that people that that the people I felt like the people who started this culture and the people who helped contribute to this culture deserved to to share in the success of the company right of rock the bells because I believe from the beginning that it would be a success so I you know made sure that they had a piece right you know some of sometimes I'm not even sure they understand what they own a piece of now because Rock The Bells has become something really major right you know what I mean but it started with me saying you should have a piece right like that's how we got to do with each other absolutely you understand what I'm saying so the way Russell and them treated me you know like Leo you look Leo they see you know controversial this and that but at the end of the day I did the deal with Leo to get my catalog back yeah the whole thing though is it's just that you know one thing about deal making like like you gotta um you got to understand the Dynamics of the situation and act accordingly right you know what I'm saying so you know when you know when a rabbit stick his head out the hole the Hulk strikes you know what I'm saying like right there right you got to understand that like that's what that's how you get it you know what I'm saying and I want to see I want to tap on two things shout out to Leo because Leo brought me to over to YouTube him and told him to be the cultural advisor no matter what he shout out to Leo and I want to say this I want to salute you give a shout out to L y'all don't know this LL called us to come have a station on Rock The Bells but the time wasn't this was years ago he seen something years ago like yo call yo what's up he jumped on the phone he called me to my L on the phone I said [ __ ] get the [ __ ] out of here I think you ain't no hip hop a story he clicked in I said hey what's up what the [ __ ] I ain't get L on the phone oh like let's start talking some old other [ __ ] if you need somebody to carry your bags on tour yeah you always gotta be that's how you got in back in the day now you know what it is man I believed in y'all I believe you know from the beginning you know what I'm saying like I I saw it when it was just some [ __ ] happening on the gram and just some funny stuff happening I believed in y'all like you know what I'm saying and you know you know that's why I'm here you know what I'm saying and I was happy when it happened for y'all because that's what I wanted to see you know I didn't happen to do it with me but you did it yeah and for me that's beautiful and the only reason we ain't doing well because it was time we had it was a lot of time Philly it was one thing I can't say is L is one of the black people that called us up and tried to put that money with the money been too many of you [ __ ] but the nail call it said I love what y'all doing let's see if we could figure it out no doubt no doubt no doubt shout out there that's legendary Lord of Mercy he called with that paper yeah oh [ __ ] yeah Lord of mercy and we appreciated it you know what I'm saying now coming up in the game was it ever a time because you know it was different back then right see now it's comfortable for dudes because in the game now you can't just go with somebody because if you go with somebody's like you hating right was it ever a moment when somebody came at you or was like oh [ __ ] this might be it this this [ __ ] might be serious like this is like on some streets no no no no rap and the rap game was it ever somebody that had you like damn I got I gotta I gotta uphill battle anybody I'm just saying that this [ __ ] they might don't know you looked at anybody like look all of these guys are good I mean it's like being in the NBA I mean they're Pros you know so most of them you know some of them was just like you know they sound like water boys and [ __ ] but yeah so a lot of them was guys that had handles that can shoot with both hands and they was nice yeah it was dudes that was nice but you know when you when you're a professional at something that's what you are you know I mean so somebody else being nice doesn't make me feel unnice you know what I mean it's just yo this is a real guy like you gotta deal with this right this is real right like it's what's in front of you is real right right like and I oh you know but since the beginning of the game game like being a hip-hop I always knew like it was always somebody nice man like that's that's regular like you expect that that's like walking in the gym and ain't nobody gonna be nice right you know somebody gonna be nice like you got to you know what I mean so like I always respect the other artists of the rap artists their balls there I like I don't I like I don't um I'm not like looking down at no but I'm not fronting on them like yeah yeah I recognize these dudes it's nice of course 100 you know what I'm saying I you know reality is I probably wouldn't have responded if I didn't think they was nice right you know like you only respond to somebody if you think it's something being said well that's the thing right if they ever take the [ __ ] out of you you need to address it yeah you're like I'm on you but they can't irritate you if it's [ __ ] right like it's hard to irritation [Laughter] with that old crazy [ __ ] you know what I mean once you start go go put a sleeping bag in a parking lot or something so but what was your roughest battle um I mean it was all about the same honestly they basically saying I got all them [ __ ] out of here no no no no no no no I'm not coming because you're gonna have people in the comments they're going we got him he got him yeah so before yourself that comments and that [ __ ] I already know what you're gonna do so like my thing is Antonio Brown who the best cornerback that guarded you I'm still looking for him who your roughest battle huh they always the same I mean look I think I I would say the most the one that I paid the most attention to would probably be cannabis because the other ones I was so goddamn delusional I didn't care nothing about none of that [ __ ] they were saying I was champagne and limo you could have said anything yeah I was listening to that [ __ ] at all but then with cannabis you was a little older he was a young boy so you had to get him out of here well well it was just like you know with him I think that was really more um my fault you know I think that was a little bit more my fault because I could have addressed him a little differently you know he he you know he wanted to um you know he wanted to get a tattoo like mine I could have said you know good luck with that you know I mean but I didn't understand that that at that time I wasn't there yet mentally so I'm like the [ __ ] you mean you want to get something like me like you know what I mean like this [ __ ] sounded crazy to me yeah you know what I mean like I did not understand that like my brain was not developed yeah you know what I mean like I wasn't developed like that like hey you imagine a dude telling you yo I'm gonna get a tattoo just like you and you like kind of like a little bit removed from this you look at this [ __ ] like what I'm talking about this is so crazy yeah now I understand it was a compliment right and he was just showing love right and he was you know showing you know admiration that's why I don't go at him now and I don't try to hurt these dudes and like you know I mean like I'm not gonna play that like they're gonna like they're gonna take this clip and it's gonna be no it's not shout out to Canada you know what I mean but all love shout out to him but I but I wouldn't play him but that's what the thinking was you know what I'm saying it was uh you know but I just love you know I loved every moment of that like all of that was great for me shout out to L for knowing when a black man ain't mentally dead yet it wasn't there yeah that's where I was at with it I know I just grew up a couple years ago my wife still said I'm a [ __ ] kid you know what I mean I just didn't understand it man now when was the moment when you selling these platinum records you're going when was the moment you was like I'm that [ __ ] for real over here what album was it oh that he already said that no no he can still hit the town when you see the stats you still got to put the numbers on the board when you see the numbers you know on my first you know my first song I need to be that said I predict this Jam will hit the highest plateau in the world of Music Paparazzi and wealth and fame the total propulsion on my name right I said that on my very first single um you know like when was I feeling myself I think when I introduced all of the jewelry and the champagne and all that to the game when I did walking with a panther if you look at my walking with a panther album cover that was like the precursor to everything that hip-hop became right I

man listen man the 100K play play man now Andy you win the game Big Andy now things wasn't always like this things wasn't always like this no it did some time you're figuring out life you're growing up you're trying to do but now you're in the game how did you get here man and who put you on game basically what it was like when I got out you know I just seen um my cousin had her boyfriend you know he was a drug dealer he had like 10 houses and I was like dang you know he ain't nobody special so he was able to get 10 houses like dang well how could I do it so what I did like I bought my first house in like 2011 when the market was down still I bought my first house to duplex like 14 000. so I bought that had that for like a while then I thought about doing wholesaling I wholesale to all the way until like 2016. then that got slow then I just started doing um like buying up keeping the properties I just buy the phones if I can't wholesaler like buy go ahead and then just put a little makeup on it I just do that to make about 20 30k doing it that way yeah and I got tired of that because that new numbers went big enough so in like 2020 I just said I'm gonna go ahead and start building on my own so I ain't never had nobody to show me how to do it ain't how nobody look up to nobody doing it right now so I just had to jump out jump out and do it you know it took me like four months because I was scared paranoid you know everybody don't know what they don't know right so I ain't even jump in it I just said they ain't gonna do it but then I just figured out I had to go ahead and do it so my first one took me like 11 months to do and then after that I realized I got that 127 thousand dollar check I say man I gotta do this mode I don't even want to do nothing no more I want to do no wholesaling no more fixing flip All I'm gonna do is just build from the ground up and that's what got me into it and then last year somebody I talked to some people and they were telling me about teaching other people how to do it and that's what made me come up with the boot camp and The Mastermind where I teach people how to do it man we do it all with credit cards because you know I had the record and you know I can't go to no banks we ain't got what the banks won't you know to get no loans from them so the easy way for me to do it was with credit cards credit cards don't know how you look all you got to do and have a good report you get a good report then then you win now all you do get the high limit credit card take the money off of them use that to start building then the hard money man gonna give you the rest of the money to finish okay so netbam I get I come to you right I get some credit cards you fell first of all I gotta have my credit right no you don't we fixed your credit oh really power your credit so you gonna repair somebody's credit right right okay who you get my credit right all right now I'm in what do I need to start activating these credit cards to be able to start the process what type of credit score 720 we get you over 720 once you get to that 720 we're gonna show you we're gonna give you a list the cards to apply for okay so okay so I got a 7 30. I'm ready to move right you're gonna give me a list of these credit cards I apply for these credit cards right right what's the process after that after that usually get between like 100 100 to 200k in funding and after that we show you how to take the money off of those cards and use that to start the building process so we ain't got to use none of our own money we use the credit cards to start and then you cause the hard money lender want to see you with skin in the game so if you ain't got the money to put the skin in the game with you taking the money off the credit card to use that okay in the game you when you say that I think what I'm when I'm what I'm hearing you say is that like if you got the foundation you're already building they like you're building something so that's one of the hard money coming in yeah don't want to take all the risks so he want to see some more on the wrist all his money so he want to see some walls you want to see it up you're like okay well I ain't all in if I lose my money I still got you know I'm still got something I can resell but if he ain't got nothing and he got all in with all his money he don't feel like he could recoup all this money back okay so now he got out of you with skin in the game so you got to take a loss too if y'all do lose okay so basically that's what that's just like in the street in the street like when you're going to the plug the plug ain't you no money if he don't know you don't know know if you're gonna bring his money back right the plug ain't gonna give you a hundred of them if you ain't buying 100 right you got to purchase so you gotta add some skin in the game right okay so when you so now you you get the credit cards you get the money off the credit cards right now it's a building process yeah now you start building once you get the um we show you how to find your whole team too okay we use the gym a lot of people try to use General Contractors to build a house for them what we do is we just get the general contractor to pull the permit for us and if you put the permit you're gonna do all the inspections and we don't use them for nothing else we find our own subcontractors to do the work okay that's why we're able to do it so cheap okay we've been in houses that like have the prices of other people paying for houses I built a whole house all in 200 000. okay 1500 square foot house or three two they sell for like four four fifty okay so I'm making two 250 off the deal but if you gotta if you're using the GC he gonna probably charge you 375 to build the whole thing because you're still under market value so it may still seem like you're getting a deal right because you don't even know she wanted that thousand thirty thousand you got a little bit of equity in it already but with us we got how have Equity yeah we in 200 250 at the most yeah and then we still we got Equity up to 200. okay so that's that's how we win and that's how we're teaching people how to do it do it where you come out in the middle man basically the GC is the middleman mm-hmm now now the first one how did the first one pop off for you like the mistakes you made and the errors of that first one that you built yourself that first one the first one was kind of hard because I didn't know the steps I ain't know what was out there nobody was there to teach right so I had to figure it out like it was sometimes where I have like I'd be complete a job and then I gotta do the next thing so I mean I called the next worker just say if I get my electrical done then I gotta call the HVAC guy and then next thing I ain't know when to call them or how to call them so it may be another week or two before he could get to me Elaine called him ahead of time basically you got to call the people ahead of time so that way when they get to you you know they not tied up on another job absolutely so you got to know the whole process the whole step of that so basically you crawl so people could run right basically I took I took the L for them to take the W yeah yeah and and now you I see you got you do a class you got I see your classes be filled the [ __ ] up yes sir I'll talk with your students your mentees they they be in that [ __ ] and you really teaching them how to do this [ __ ] okay so now after you build the walls up you get some building up now the hard money to give you the money he'll friendship your friend should arrest that okay it's something physically he could see before it just land you know it ain't nothing I ain't I don't want to land against land I'd rather land against something that I could see if the Wall's up I know I could spend a couple 20 30 more dollar 41 000 and get it finished and then I can make the money make my money back okay that's how hard money Linda thinking okay but he don't want to start from the ground doing the whole thing if he'll let you on lend you money on the land and he ain't got nothing else I don't want to do the whole project to get my money back that's how he thinking okay that's that's beautiful yeah that's amazing because I understand what you're saying now because it's like his whole thing I can get the land but the land that don't mean you won't start building right and then I might got to finish it finally finalize it and finish it off and all that type stuff how much the land usually costs in our area we getting land anywhere between 75 to 100 000 for the lot how big is it that's probably between four thousand to eight thousand square feet okay and then you buy and then you you're building a maybe a fifteen hundred two thousand yeah so once you got the land we're building the house at 150. okay 100 square foot okay and then we got another trick to that we're doing like I'm teaching them how to do adus you know how they had an apartment garage and back of houses teaching a lot of people how to do them too so we doing that to get more um they'll get more income out of your bill like on a single family like a lot of places want you to be zoned uh multi-family to have more than one unit but on a single family lots down there and a lot of other places people don't know that they could put them adus in the back of a house okay that's already there like if you got a house already up you could put one there or you could build a new house in the front and one in the back and you can make that Adu in the back pay for the house in the front so you'll be living for free um that ain't bad give them that number again listen man I want you to get listen [ __ ] you're listening you got to get

play and it's just like damn right who did you get that sense of because I seen a documentary Supreme Team okay they had the the minks on they had to she was a young boy oh without a doubt he was in the crowd you was watching me with a little chain on a skinny chain like did they introduce that to New York and you introduced it to the world so so I absolutely you know Bimi is my man and you know we grew up together you know what I'm saying in Queens and spent a lot of time together like you know like all type of stuff right the dudes that like but with the Prem team in them I was like I was friends with like bimy and just like black just Blackie and bimy those were my homies yeah the other premium in them was a little older yeah so I didn't really know interact with them I knew you know knew them a little bit a little long distance you know what I'm saying with Bim and just those are my men like I would go to Just house go to bimmy's house like those are my people what but at the same time during that period I was also I spent a lot of time in Harlem yeah so I would be with um I would be with Rich and I would be without Poe and I would be with Az and I would be you know with you know my man Chuck and all these different guys and my man Chuck actually took me up there and um you know I was so I spent a lot of my formative years in Harlem Uptown around AZ and a lot of you know being around them on one three two and that's where I kind of got a lot of that energy from right so that that you know the the Cool J ring like you know Chuck had a big ring Alpo had a big ring you know what I'm saying so I went and got me a Cool J ring you know what I'm saying like that was where like a lot of it rubbed off right you know what I'm saying did you introduced it to the world but I introduced it to the hip-hop game to the hip-hop culture yes without a doubt like when you talk about the diamonds and the ice and the Rings that's that's what I did so but I got that without a doubt being Up In Harlem and then also seeing you know like Birmingham was more inspiration like Bimi was like you know seeing him with the 325 he had to blow pump with the 325 and the Cherry air freshener and I'm like standing out there with my radio I'm like oh [ __ ] crazy like yo you know what I mean he checked me riding and all that like that was a real Vibe and just you know he would come pick me up in the Yukon or one of the trucks take me to his house to eat and all that right and like just interacting with guys what you learn is that it's always better to be a gentleman right you know what I'm saying like there are dudes in the street or Cowboys right but that that don't last long no we know that but the real the real Vibe is like to be a gentleman you realize like that kindness and that being that generosity and that that spirit and that desire because a lot of guys who are living that life they don't really want to live that life it's just a a a hand that was dealt you know what I mean when somebody deals you that hand right you know I mean you play it right you know what I'm saying but I just learned how to move being around a lot of these guys so that was kind of like my you know that's why I always moved the way I moved because I was molded around like a lot of these kind of guys my whole life as a youngster so that's kind of even though I didn't talk about it as much in my music my moves outside of my music if you look at the things I did outside of my music you would see it right you know what I'm saying my music I'm talking about this and that because I Just Want to Have Fun get the girls like I don't care about that [ __ ] man but that was where I learned a lot of you know what I'm saying and and that and my grandmother of course with the spiritual and my mother with the with the grounded in family and the things that so those were kind of like my two the two people would shake me my home life and then the the hustlers the street characters between queens and and Harlem you know the only problem I got with this story man is Bill said he got a Swagger from some Harlem [ __ ] you know Jim Jones and Joe Santana and Cameron and them [ __ ] is not really let me ever lived I told you Harlem to fly into New York hey yo yo yo if it's any help I put my own twist on it okay you heard LL he got his swag from us we've been there we've been them [ __ ] I love Jimmy he was in the house I love him [ __ ] but I ain't mad at them because you know what some [ __ ] the flyest [ __ ] in the world I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go into all that okay okay not get all outrageously ridiculous and pull out the violins and [ __ ] I'm just saying you know me I'm just saying I learned a lot of how to move you know what I'm saying you know what I mean right yeah you know we got to take it too you took that [ __ ] from the mic to the movies yeah how the [ __ ] was that pivot like how did you I I mean the real story is that you know I went up to the record company one day and I said yo um looking to do a new album you know what I'm saying uh I had a couple of moves I wanted to make financially I'm like so I'd like to get in advance on the next album and get going and the dude I was talking to kind of did this yeah and as soon as he did that I said when he did that only did a TV show that ain't nothing to talk about you start adjusting your butt cheeks in the chair like you learned a piano [ __ ] I'm trying to get some money you know what I'm saying okay skip over that game yo yo you know man you go into other things I'm like you know what I mean he saw repositioning so when that when I saw that I said you know what okay and I told him what I want oh we can't okay no problem so I got with um you know if you don't mind how much you asking for um I don't even remember at that time might have been a million to me I don't know what it was it was it was a decent amount it was a decent amount I was getting it was fine at that point um we was getting plenty you know what I mean but I um I went and got with uh Quincy Jones yes and I said um you know totally wanna you know he said you know he had done the TV show with Will Smith him and David Salzman and David Salzman rest in peace and um I was like Mr Jones who was like a mentor to me you know what I'm saying he was like like he became like a mentor to me I'm like you know he started talking to me we started talking one thing led to another he said let's do a TV show I went and did it so I went and did the show show comes on the air you know six months to a year go by you know I'm out here I'm doing the thing whatever doing the show I get a call from the record company yeah sure doing good huh I just looked at the floor I got this [ __ ] and this is so same dude that was Injustice wedgie all the way out and we had accomplished we was able to have a real conversation like gentlemen and it worked out for the best and and you know what and I'm not saying that to be cocky or arrogant or anything but I'm saying that to say this a smart rabbit has more than one hole you got to give yourself options you know what I'm saying you got to give yourself options B so now I have so many things going on that I have options so you know if if I quote a number it's a real number I'm not bluffing right I'm flexible I'm not arrogant right I'm not going to ever try to charge more than I think I'm worth in the marketplace but I definitely want that market value right no I mean I'm not an [ __ ] I'm not I'm not a [ __ ] I don't play games I don't you know I don't play stick em up right because that won't work either because your career be over right but okay I just like to be reasonable with people how do you calculate market value for yourself well it's very simple Okay so let me let me I'll give you all a a a a a negotiating little just a million dollars worth of games let me give you a billion dollars worth of games so if it was raining if it was raining on his desk right and this was a sidewalk and let's say the sidewalk was like like this little thing right here is the sidewalk and it's rain the rain is Flowing right here right and it's the rain is this high if you were ant compared to that rain you you might drown you know where you at if you're a bigger Co a bigger roach or something compared to that ring you do a little better if you're a mouse you do a little better if you're a squirrel you do even better now if you're a cat you do even better if you're a dog you do better if you're a bull if you're a horse you do better camel you do better you understand giraffe you do better so the bottom line is you got to understand when you when things are happening and when it's flowing and when the rain is flowing in the world that you're in what are the Dynamics what are you in this situation are you an aunt are you a horse yes so that's and but here's the thing you have to be brutally honest with yourself you got yeah you got to be brutally honest with yourself you have to be honest and real with yourself brutally honest and you know what's the problem a lot of rappers do not know how to be brutally honest with themselves they still think that they can charge a [ __ ] 150 000 it was like buddy that was last year let me uh let me take it down 75. or just or just look at it and say oh it's going down a little bit let me make some adjustments so that it go so that it triples so it's like okay you have to you have to be inspired man like you can't like like like true business true success in business comes from loving what you do right it comes from being passionate about what you do it doesn't come from Talking slick and asking for a lot of money right but there is a time when you can ask for a lot of money but when you ask for it it's because you put so much passion and so much energy and so much love into what you do that you're deserving of a certain number you get it that's the way it works absolutely and you just now the key to that is knowing your value understand your value so if you're on a job and you're working at let's say a person's working at FedEx or if they're working at UPS the the you know if you're working an everyday job the the best way to get more money from people that don't want to pay you more is to do more than you're getting paid for because if they don't notice it and don't want to recognize it someone else will and you if even if you don't get promoted in that company you will get promoted outside of that company right you dig what I'm saying so that like the the thing is to put all of your energy into what you do because people will recognize it you know what I'm saying and also no ego take the job what's the job take the job don't worry about the neighborhood don't worry about how people are looking at you take the job man take the job and turn it into something amazing a lot of the people that be running these record labels used to be people's uh interns you have a bunch of problems with that girl we're trying to put that [ __ ] down or work yeah you got squeeze both I don't you know me I'm a [ __ ] weird I'll be here all day I can't I can't not do some [ __ ] I'ma leave it alone though because once I get started B it's going to be crazy push this down right here and grow within the system and then grow out of the system because a lot of people would start it off as people's interns 100 and then yeah when Kevin Laos he was he was um what up Kev Kev was an intern when at the label like I remember I had I don't know three four albums I don't know how many albums I had and I see Kev he's an intern he's running around carrying records when I met let me tell you something when I met Leo and I say this leoism has done a lot in his career I only say this to show people the journey not to like make light of the situation right I want to be on a preface it right when I met him his card the the passenger door didn't open he was a promoter in L.A yeah and he just we I got in the car I had to get in through this to pass the steering wheel I get in the passage and he'd get in he's driving and he's talking to me we're going to change hip-hop we're going to do amazing things together I'm just sitting there like yeah yeah definitely definitely and this was later I had albums already yeah you know I mean because he came to Def Jam later right so I watched people do what you're what you're describing or what you're describing going from interns all the way to running you know big companies and so it's very doable if they can do it if I can do it you can do it and you can do it and so it's just a matter of finding your Niche and believing in yourself man you know what I mean because he came home from prison he was my intern he used to carry my rap book back in the day when I used to write raps he carry my Rap Book when I'm going to the place yeah this came a red book with white gloves he never won no battles but you know what's crazy about that [ __ ] like you had people like we live in the world now where people would be on some [ __ ] like this new world everybody too cool to work they're too cool to do anything everybody they think they pull the start-up hair pulls to have so this this crazy I understand exactly what you're saying but here's the thing what you doing like is you you making it easier for somebody who's willing to work you know what I'm saying if it's only if if it used to be 90 people competing for the job and now it's only nine people you know I'm saying that increases my odds of getting what I want to get so a lot of people are pulling themselves out of the game I know that there are other ways to monetize your life I understand that but even in the new era in the new dealing with the new economics being lazy ain't going ain't the answer no oh no yeah I don't care on what level you put it the lazy thing does not work so you know what I'm saying what you gonna do you know you have you know people that are you know you got some people that are overwhelmed by artificial intelligence you have other people that understand they got to utilize it as a tool you know it's all about how you utilize the moments in your life you know what I'm saying you you dig what I'm saying so like being too cool like like I don't know how to do that I don't know how to be too cool and not have no paper [ __ ] that right yeah I gotta I gotta get what I got my grandmother used to tell me Todd you better get it down if you gotta eat [ __ ] with a splinter you know what I mean get that [ __ ] done right you feel me right you feel me and that's and that's the whole thing now when you slid into the movies was it easy for you was it so no it wasn't it wasn't easy at all I had an acting teacher I went to the spaza academy for acting up I've had a teacher the whole time you know I read everything from stanislavsky to UDA Hagen to you name it um and again you never limit yourself you know what I'm saying like that's the thing man you never limit yourself let me ask you this question though did you ever get any any negative Vibes because you know actors take their [ __ ] real serious so for [ __ ] that went to Juilliard and he did all of these things to become this great actor and now he looking at you like oh he just think he could slide yeah he's so now Platinum yeah so now he could be in the movie co-starring with me and [ __ ] I'm sorry you feel that way you know what I mean [Laughter] like look at the end of the day that's you know if you can put if you can get eyeballs on the screen or get asses and seats I mean it is what it is right I don't I never ever for a moment didn't take acting seriously and didn't uh take those other orders seriously I completely respect the game respect the directors The Producers the writers the actors that I work with I have great relationships with all of them right what I'm not going to do is dim my light because you got some issues that some questionable issues you dealing with right yeah you know what I mean like I'm gonna be who I'm going I'm not gonna turn this [ __ ] down to make you happy right and and a lot of their defense though it probably changed up once you got on set and it was like oh no he this [ __ ] actually no when you take when they say when people see you take it seriously and they see you okay he actually good yeah he can actually act and you know I mean like they they give me love it's I have I get enough love you know um in that area obviously you know I'm not looking you know I don't look at acting the way I look at my at music right hip hop you know what I'm saying like that's my first love right like everybody's clear about that however you know I do take it seriously right and when I'm on that set I am taking it seriously and when I do NCIS Los Angeles or if I do in too deep when I'm playing God or if I you know do deep blue sea if I do Any Given Sunday if I do these movies you know what I'm saying I do tell you you know it's real right you know what I mean no doubt absolutely now what's going on now is that you're going back on tour how you feel well I feel great man I feel like listen man I feel like you know I feel like it's it's 20 23. um I want to give people opportunity to see this this this this classic timeless music presented to them with a lot of energy on a silver platter a lot of times half the time when they see the Thomas acts they got a stool with a radio station Banner behind them in a rum and coke on the stool and they sitting there and it's you know I'm like this is going to be like what we did at the Grammys is the reason why I'm taking it on tour I decided after we did the Grammys I said I need to take this on tour and let the world see this and it needs to be you know a couple of hours of this not just you know a few minutes yes and six minutes the things the thing we did on the Grammys you know with the roots and you know Philly dudes you know what I'm saying taking the roots out and going out there you know I'm saying let's see and how Quest was able to curate that thing and saying your quest now let's put together this this this Force tour let's put together this crazy show let's put together this unbelievable show with all these different artists and let's take it to the world and it makes me feel excited because I want to show people what's possible you know my thing is that look man you can have longevity and you can have a long career and you could be fly forever you could do dope [ __ ] forever you don't have to like and you don't have to pretend to be 14 to do it right you could just you just got to be true to who you are that's a bar and you know what I'm saying go get it so I'm really saying [ __ ] bar you know what I mean I'm just I'm okay because with the young [ __ ] we don't want to compete with you we want to eat with you that's it it's a difference that's it I ain't gonna I don't wanna 100 so for L when when people see L they gotta understand something I respect the new artists okay I'm not looking down at you when on you when I see you you know I'm saying like I saw a little baby when I was at the Grammys we had a great conversation tell us a little baby I have a lot of respect for him you know what I'm saying you know I want to see him there in 20 years by the grace of God I want him to do his thing I want him to win right you know what I mean so when I see these young kids when I see the Young Artists I embrace them so they need to understand that LL Cool J is not looking down on them now I can't speak for everybody and how some of these guys feel you know I want to see you win when you get no matter what you're doing but if you if if you of a certain age and you looking down on some young [ __ ] that's trying to take their mamas out the ghetto then you just uh obn a little bit of [ __ ] and I would say don't get bitter get better you know what I'm saying one of them [ __ ] sitting around mad at the world watch the game in that seat with the one hole right here that you never refuse to fix [Music] because at the end of the day I never understood why older rappers don't understand that times change bro well here's the thing you know here's the thing with that here's the here's the here's the real like the real thing is that you know times change and you gotta change see Hip-Hop is not Sports we make a lot of sports analogies but at the end of the day art the Arts are an intellectual thing right the Arts are not physical right physical first yeah you got to get on stage you gotta do different things but it's not physical first it's here and here first so you should be able to adapt and do great [ __ ] but you can't get set in your ways you can't think you know every goddamn thing and you got to stay curious about what's going on in the world so like I give you an example every time I talk to somebody right and and without fail they always explaining to me how [ __ ] is different they always think they need to tell me that like I didn't [ __ ] wake up this morning in 2023 and know what the [ __ ] today is dog like I'm hyper attentive to what's going on right I watch everything right they just don't think that because oh you famous you got busy better things to do no I'm right interested in what we doing right so when [ __ ] come across that that Grandma when it comes I'm watching I'm swiping I'm looking I'm reading I'm enjoying it I'm listening to the music I'm checking out the albums I'm listening to what's going on right you know what I'm saying I'm watching how they move I'm watching you know dudes running around with silver [ __ ] on I'm seeing all that right you know what I'm saying absolutely so that's what it is like I don't I want them to know that they need to understand that as one of the guys who really represents the the the birth of the culture from a distance because I'm like generation 1.5 right you got melon and Flash and hurricane one I would say I'm 1.5 and then I would say the rakims and the canes and the PES all that is Generation two right because I'm like before those guys but after these guys like and I grew up with these guys they're watching them I'm telling you I love y'all you know what I'm saying I'm telling you that I want to see I I don't don't just send your mama to the show I want to see you there too you ain't got to be familiar with the music so what you you can go to you go to Coachella and act like you know all that [ __ ] you don't know how to half of that [ __ ] either just come down watch the show you know what I'm saying and enjoy your man LL and let me get off and watch all these other artists get off and check out maybe you'll learn something maybe you'll get introduced maybe LL won't be the one you like maybe you'll love rock him right you know what I'm saying maybe maybe you're somebody else will appeal to you that's okay right you know that's what the point is that's the purpose absolutely you know what I mean because the purpose is for me to put all these dudes and these women on a stage where everybody can embrace them right you know what I'm saying like that's my goal so I don't want to separate it generationally I'm not into that [ __ ] like I think that [ __ ] is super corny right it's super corny right you know what I'm saying like what type of [ __ ] are you on like this is a young man he's trying to get his money or young girl assistant why you think we had look we have who do you have little baby we had a little um Low Lil Uzi and we had um uh uh glorilla on the Grammys right I'm looking at Global I'm like this could be my little niece so my little daughter I was so happy to see like my favorite quietest kept was just seeing how happy she was yeah you know what I mean this is a little girl who five minutes ago you know was getting her hair done at the crib yeah yeah the recorder you see what I'm saying so that's that's the thing like we got to embrace our culture so when I call up Quest when I call up black daughter when I call up the roots and I say yo let's put together a crazy show I get my man Sean G or get like yo let's put together a crazy show my man Scott like we looking to do something special for the world right like I'm not I'm not playing games

wanted to be you when he was growing up man now I appreciate I love that man but you know what that's how our culture shapes us you know what I'm saying our culture shapes us like that like he tried to he always argue with me that you kuji rap Big Daddy game don't forget Chuck Chuck Chuck D all all of all y'alls his uncles that's how to get hold yeah now listen anybody that grew up in a [ __ ] ghetto they y'all was family members too see let me tell y'all something about rap see back in the day we was family members and fans it wasn't like like what the [ __ ] is you talking about it was nice listen this is how I go it's personal the journey is personal like you ain't seen that time listen I think Kane was mad at me in the airport I droved on listen Kane was Incognito he had the mask on a super [ __ ] fan okay six in the morning [ __ ] hey I didn't mean to do it but that was just my first time seeing Kane this man I ran a point in the morning at six in the morning some coffee and donuts it was too early man I think King was mad at me man I'll tell him he was ready to slap the [ __ ] he was like damn man cause he was just chilling yeah I said yo that's Big Daddy Kane that [ __ ] said you lying [Laughter] yo you know what let me tell you something I appreciate that and I'll tell you why first of all my um my man Cornell God bless his dad he used to do that yeah oh Cool J calm down shut the [ __ ] up we'll be in the airport by ourselves who's that come this way [Laughter] you know what though we walk we all connected to our fans like I feel connected to my fans connected to the people that grew up on the culture because you know we started from nothing like I'm talking about the industry I'm not talking about our pockets and I'll forget that I'm talking about the art and the way it touched the people and we we had a conversation through the radio and then through BTM TV and these different outlets and VH1 V you know not VH1 um Ralph McDaniels in them on and and all that in the video music box and that was a connection and when I would see the people the the clothing change I watched the jewelry change I watched the world change I watched everything unfold and everything changed I watched the whole world become something different you know what I'm saying like I saw it like I'm you know pre-internet post internet you know what I'm saying like before was seed pre-cd yeah you know like when they had to take the eight tracks and [ __ ] well the eight tracks was like just before us there was eight tracks but they was before us but but it was vinyl cassette you know because originally back in the days 78 vinyls to 78s that was like a lot of jazz musicians had 78s and then they went to the they had the eight tracks which was a technology and then you know we have this vinyl and then you have the cassettes the CDs and you can track you know the changes that happened in the industry by as these new forms of um distribution were introduced to the world and how like the game always switched and now it's the streaming and you know the Sirius XM with satellite and it's just a whole new world you know what I mean so it's amazing man not like or I gotta like on the tours you're gonna have like the merch with like you I'm gonna have merch we're gonna have lots of merch it's gonna be like the album covers yeah like the new album I would say like is going to be a lot of fun for people right yeah the album is going to be a lot of fun and and the goal of the album is just to show people what's possible you know what I'm saying because a lot of times you know I don't think we've had an artist who's been out this long dual record that's impactful so I'm going to show people what's possible creatively too because when I work on a record I look at it like the same way James Cameron would come out with a movie like Avatar Spielberg would come out with a movie you know what I'm saying or Denzel would go act in a movie I I look at an LL Cool J album in that same rarified air like that so this album is not just like some sort of c-plus attempt to you know extract money from the game this is a piece of art that I'm contributing to the game and I I think people will enjoy it I just want to know this [ __ ] no you not being as hyper man that's locked in that's that's the contract because we said it on tape that's contract law I ain't worried about that so so this is the whole thing how do you feel knowing that you was there at the birth of Def Jam and since then Warren G Jay-Z DMX Ja Rule um Onyx um Method Man red man uh like the list goes on Jeezy like Fab like like all like do you unders like everybody you was there from the beginning and all these Legends then went through the system I feel like are you still you still still here uh you know shout out to Def Jam that logo is powerful man you know it's like um I mean the actual fact is that I paved the way for him you know plus they're all part of my you know that that like everything that came on Def Jam after me is part of my legacy Def Jam is my legacy I love when [ __ ] say some [ __ ] like it heard them and say it how many though you know why you know why I say it like that though but let me tell you why let me tell you why now but let me tell you why let me tell you why I say it like that because it's the truth yeah it is the truth but I don't want people to take it wrong and think that I'm being cocky because I'm not I'm just being honest that's all you know what I'm saying I'm telling you that that you know you know me and Rick we made that first song and then Rick and Russell decided to start this label and I was the flagship artist and we made all of these albums and we then we went and got a DLS CBS at Columbia Records and the rest of the rest of it is history and all of the things that came to Def Jam came because of what me Rick and Russell laid down and made possible and so it's all my legacy and that's not a funny thing that's the truth that's right I'll give you an example some one of my favorite rappers in the whole wide world somebody who I think has one of if arguably the best voice if not one of the best voices in hip-hop for rap which is Chuck D let me show you something his logo of the Public Enemy logo is my hype man e love it Chuck took his silhouette took his picture made a silhouette and turned it into a logo I mean that's how far back we go yeah you know what I mean like the Public Enemy logo was my hype man bro right and and Chuck is my favorite right you know what I mean like so you know when you look at like I look at guys like like KRS one his first song South Bronx he said instead of trying to take out LL you need to take your home girls up crack homeboys off the crack right that's his first song so when you look at when you really when I look at it like a guy like Busy Bee I took Busy Bee on the road as my hype man I took Rock Kim on his first tour so how the [ __ ] would you ever go from Busy Bee to this busy nut no I just can't do this I say I like to say this man I say that to say this we did an amazing thing I had a lot of help along the way though yeah I can't act like I'm the resident genius and I did it all by myself because that would be complete [ __ ] I had a lot of help I ended up it was like the Manhattan Project it's like we split the atom it's like it's Rick Rubin as a producer as LL is a rapper as Russell Simmons as an executive and then a little later as Leo as an executive and then you have the intern Kevin laozer comes in and I'm I mean you can't make this [ __ ] up I mean Julie and you know Julia Julie green wall like those people are like the sixth biggest people in the game everybody yeah yeah you know he was running around with j um Jason Williams from the Nets and we used to be laughing in White Castle yeah that's what I'm saying you know like so when I say when I say it it's like I like God blesses things you know what I'm saying it's just like people up in Seattle when they got with Bill Gates and you had and then you have different people jobs different people working on all of this you know all of this uh you know computer stuff and all these technological breakthroughs well hip-hop in this in the in at that time in New York I was there like running around in the city you see Madonna in a club and you know around that time you had you know across town you know I never ran into them but you got Basquiat running around with Fab Five Freddy who I did know and like all of these different people like it was a blessing you know you understand what I'm saying yes so you know we just really like caught a lick that started something that we were all really meant to do like we really like I got with the guys that were really the best like you know what I'm saying absolutely and and I obviously did something right because I'm still here and I'm still having conversations about tours and albums um I mean that's pretty unusual but to say this yes it is the thing about Def Jam you know you that [ __ ] from after you got into it they had the hierarchy and New York rap Jay-Z DMX like a red man I'm talking about Jah like yeah that's major yeah like I put X on my bracket on four three two one and it blew up right I put cannabis on my record I put foxy I gave her yeah you know what I'm saying like those all of those all of those artists they're amazing and they deserve it and you best believe they was in them offices like yo we got a new artist named foxy you think we could go on a record introduce her to the world well they did I'll give you one better actually Chris lady made rest in peace what he did was he took foxy to the studio and just threw on I shot you and the Twitter track masters and I walked in the studio and they just played it and wanted to see and it was up to me to let it stay and I let her stay they didn't ask me see it wasn't even no ego on board no he could have been like [ __ ] off my record who would have recorded because they you know some people handle they art in different ways I don't want nobody touching machine oh definitely you know you got some finicky [ __ ] out here definitely you know you guys definitely you got some [ __ ] you would have tried this [ __ ] with the whole room would have been fired you don't want to work with none of these [ __ ] no more definitely you know but you know that's uh that's about your POV with the art right like me I'm um I don't mind experimenting with the music yeah I like so you know it could get you in trouble sometimes because you do things that people think is left and outrageous and ridiculous and then other times it's like the most rewarding [ __ ] in the world right but I don't mind trying new [ __ ] I'm fearless with music that's why I made I Need Love in the middle of all this hardcore [ __ ] and I mean I need love because I'm fearless with that like I don't I don't I never allow the the the the the the environment to dictate the narratives what I'm going to do or what I'm afraid to do right you know what I'm saying I go with my own inspiration you know what I'm saying absolutely you know what I mean yeah I knew like I was a little kid I could watch dudes smoke weed and not smoke none and they'd be teasing I don't care yeah peer pressure what I'm not listening to none of that right yeah you know what I'm saying like I you know I've always been like that you know I'm saying so that's a blessing absolutely yeah that's real because when the first time I seen uh give smoker crack dust blunt I said I ain't doing it I ain't doing that [ __ ] cause I ain't listening on you baby my man back here when you start smoking that crust you got the legend oil type of smoking crusts man yo yo yo B a combination dust he got crazy what ran down the street screaming ah get him off me when I was a little kid man that's one time man we was in the movie We're punching each other in the face laughing man I guess wasn't no joke what you know don't do it don't do it was like yo you smoke zooty I heard one time years ago when Sean first got the Live Nation he smoked some Dutch ran around Live Nation last night he was on a Roots toy ran around black people take my [ __ ] off take it off request love drumsticks you know down there listening to the trouble [ __ ] [ __ ] all that dumb [ __ ] yeah [Laughter] what up DC I love y'all love y'all now to the young artists out there or any artist out there or anybody doing anything in life with some game you could give a man directly before we get out of here right so I would tell you first thing you have to believe you see you got to believe that it's possible first you know what I'm saying um and then you have to uh you know there's a saying in business that you always make sure your objectives match your strategic capabilities right so what it really means is like if me and you got a goal to run a marathon then we gotta you know but one of us has one leg it's not a realistic goal right we might have we can figure out another way to do it you could get electric whale chair you get a scooter but that's a different thing but if the goal is to run I mean not that it can't be done but you just have to make sure that your goal and your capabilities line up okay I'm not looking to try out for the NBA this week right you know I mean that's not gonna happen right it's just not you know what I mean like these ain't the same it ain't even about the knees if I was [ __ ] 20 we ain't gonna happen yeah if my needs is [ __ ] if my knees was titanium it wasn't gonna happen all right so so my point is like smoking that crust um if you you got to believe in the beauty of your dreams you got to believe in yourself you got to write your goals down and you gotta take action and go after it and every day whatever you do should be getting you one step closer to what your dream is and what if what you're doing ain't getting you one step closer to your dream then why are you doing it so the question I would always I would put out there is before you make any move is what's the advantage I mean that's a pretty simple question that answers it it helped it'll help a lot before you do something say oh what's the advantage because a lot of you [ __ ] doing [ __ ] with no advantages it's no Advantage zero Advantage so when you make a move with zero advantages then you just playing yourself yeah you're hustling back you know what I'm saying oh boy that ain't yeah hustling down [ __ ] backwards if you hustling down bro you know what I'm saying like you [ __ ] you know what I mean you got the back the you know the shovel on the back of your back just right hustling down like Walling so that's the thing I would say and then I would just tell people like don't live your life comparing yourself to other people that's a huge mistake and it can be it could it could it could go both ways right it could it could excite you or it could depress you but at the end of the day you should not live your life based on comparisons that's not what it's about you are on your own Journey you have to be comfortable with that if you don't get comfortable with the fact that you're on your path because you see remember we talked about people being honest with themselves right yeah well every decision that you made in your life got you to this point you got to be honest with yourself so how can you look at somebody else and say oh well he's up there or she's up there or she has a way better job than me or her husband or this one has this or that every decision you made in your life got you to the point you at so what are we talking about so just focus on making better decisions for you focus on making your life better focus on getting your you're making your dream a reality focus on that and then the last thing I would say is don't be selfish be generous you know what I'm saying be generous you know what I'm saying be a giver hustle and told me a long time ago I even name check them it was Ronnie bump he told me in in Queens I walked in the um Park one day I'm located you know I'm saying he's the man you know what I'm saying he said to me yo first he said yo little man he said you know bump supports you he said but let me tell you something he said when you coming when you come in the park or when you come in any room in this world he said come like this not like this and I learned that so when you come come to give don't come to take right you feel me and I think if with that being said and you know that's right whether you you whether you're in the penitentiary whether you're on the street like when you come with when you live by those kinds of principles and rules you have a better chance of making your life a reality all right you know and making your dreams come true you feel me absolutely that's it and and the last but not least for me I believe in God do all do you know what since the beginning always now you always you know you always say Grace be to God you always say that absolutely all the time and and how powerful has your relationship begun well I tell you man like me I'm a big believer in tithing you know what I'm saying um you know 10 everything I get I give to the church you know what I'm saying I always give 10 or any anything I get I give 10 to the church I believe in God you know what I'm saying and um you know I know that it's through grace and mercy that I'm able to accomplish the things I've accomplished you know I I I'm not um you can't you can't really engineer what I've done without it you know I'm saying you can't go from a street corner to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Kennedy Center Honors you know without some Grace you know what I'm saying it's just not possible be you know what I'm saying so it's like when you when I look at the things that I've accomplished I know that God is in the midst of it and I have to I have to be right I have to recognize that you know what I'm saying so like without it's like yeah I'm confident without a question but I'm not arrogant and I I don't move with arrogance I don't believe in that [ __ ] and I don't look down on people right you know what I'm saying I hate that [ __ ] right because looking down on people to me is like a form of bullying almost because it's [ __ ] up and I don't like it so for me it's like I see people I see people I see human beings you know what I'm saying I don't care how much money you got in your pocket don't have in your pocket whether you're famous not famous whether you're sitting on the high fashion or whether your gears Twisted it doesn't matter I look at people as people right you know what I'm saying right and you know that's kind of how I live my life you know what I'm saying and that's how I build my company that's how I build the things I built and I've done the things I've done you know what I mean that's it absolutely we appreciate it y'all shout out to accountant the force I'm the lead hype man on the tours listen before it's like no I got to put that out I went to the lead height
