[00:05:29] Speaker C: So has there ever been a time where you had two exes in the room at the same time with you? [00:05:36] Speaker B: Yeah, me and Ty. Dollar Sign had that experience. [00:05:39] Speaker C: I seen two of my bitches in the club. You just made us. [00:05:43] Speaker B: I told you. Told you. [00:05:45] Speaker A: All right. [00:05:46] Speaker C: That was just my trial, though. [00:05:47] Speaker B: I told you it was gonna happen. Yes, I've had that experience recently, actually. [00:05:52] Speaker C: Oh, tell us about it. [00:05:57] Speaker B: Look, Silas is so messy. He, like. I remember that. So I was in an environment with humans and. [00:06:11] Speaker C: Cause he be in other environments with other species. [00:06:16] Speaker B: I was in an environment with humans, and there might have been a human that I had frequented at one point, and then there was a. [00:06:22] Speaker C: Stop using my stuff that was. [00:06:25] Speaker B: I was using. Frequented. [00:06:26] Speaker C: I've been saying that way before you. [00:06:28] Speaker B: I'm literally older than you can argue with that. Was. There was a female human there, and then she was commingling with another female human whom I may or may not have had dealing with at one point. And I just thought it was an interesting interaction. [00:06:46] Speaker C: What's the distance between you guys? What was the atmosphere? What was the energy? [00:06:50] Speaker B: Oh, there was no overlap. Oh, no. You saying. Okay, yeah, this is your whole fashion episode. So there was no energy. Because I don't portray that like. I don't. I keep my business to myself. I don't. I don't spread my business in that way. So I don't necessarily. She's doing the Crip thing again, but I don't. I don't involve myself in those types of dealings. [00:07:14] Speaker C: Okay. [00:07:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:16] Speaker C: Do they know about each other? [00:07:18] Speaker B: Well, there's nothing to know. [00:07:20] Speaker C: Okay, when you left the venue, did you speak to either of them? [00:07:24] Speaker B: Yeah, I speak to everyone. [00:07:26] Speaker C: Y' all see what the hell I be dealing with? Did you talk to anybody? Did anybody text you? Did you call somebody? [00:07:32] Speaker B: No, there's nothing to call. [00:07:34] Speaker C: Oh, was that at the. No, not that one. You know. So you didn't talk to nobody? [00:07:45] Speaker B: Hey, you ever noticed, like, you in real life, this album. Excuse me for the others, but it might be some black shit where you can communicate without communicating any real words. Is that a thing? Like, I remember being somewhere, and Silas, my manager, we were somewhere, and we seen two dudes look at each other. I ain't gonna say what rappers and was involved, but we was at a listening event, and there was one crew who walked in who was from one side of Compton, and there was another crew that walked in that was from another side of Compton. And we seen the nudge point. The nudge point for the white people that's watching this. The nudge point is when you see a person that's in opposition to your section, and you nudge the homie to get their attention and point the person out. It's a nudge point. It's a one gesture. Boom, boom, right? And so he went like this. Two nudges, one point. And then he went like this. And when you get that, look like, that's the dude that I've been looking for. So me and Silas saw this immediately. Was like, oh, we out of here. [00:08:48] Speaker C: So YG was in a function with. Niggas. I'm a. You ain't low. [00:09:01] Speaker B: I don't have a comment on that, but sorry, continue. [00:09:03] Speaker C: Okay, so back to the exes. Seeing your ex or you know somebody. Two people that you use to frequent in the same space. So recently, Moneybag yo and G Herbo was captured. Now, okay, y' all know who money back yo and G Herbo is, right? Y' all know the history. So Moneybag, yo is Ari's boyfriend, Angie Herbo, and Ari used to be in a relationship. All right? So, yeah, that's her. Thank you, Lauren. That's what we braiding my hair. Shout out to my girl Lauren. Okay, so they just recently shot a music video for a song that they about to drop. So they done put all the BS to the side, and they about to drop something. We have it right here. So when I see something that's. That's good. That's good, Tony. When I see something like that, like when I look at that screen when I'm just watching this with y', all, I don't see nothing but a couch. [00:09:55] Speaker B: I don't know what you mean. What does that mean? [00:09:57] Speaker C: It's two couches that look like a threesome to me. [00:10:01] Speaker B: Oh, you want to sit on both of them? [00:10:03] Speaker C: That's what I'm saying. [00:10:05] Speaker B: See, I would love. Now listen. Hold on. Mama P.B. Mama P.B. Listen, I forgot she was here. [00:10:11] Speaker C: I'm just playing. I do not talk like this on Monday. I'm just playing. We gotta go back to the back and we show. [00:10:20] Speaker B: Team meeting. We got a team meeting. We gotta. Tony, can we get the air on here? It's getting hot in here. Hot in here. Like, for real, though? No, for real. Okay. Two couches. Meaning that you would like to. [00:10:41] Speaker C: Now we gotta switch this whole thing up, make it professional. Real quick. Can you just clean it up for me? [00:10:45] Speaker B: Okay, what Gina is saying is that she sees two individuals that stimulate her amygdala in which she would like to procreate at a later date. Individualized and or commingled into one subset of groups. [00:11:00] Speaker C: That was the ChatGPT version of what I was trying to say. [00:11:05] Speaker B: Yes. [00:11:06] Speaker C: On a serious note, though, what do you think that it takes for two men to come together and do something like this? Because not. This isn't the first step. If you remember, Tiana and Ari are also friends as well. [00:11:19] Speaker B: Well, I think so. Okay. For this specific thing, it's a little. It get tricky. But I think that most of the time when I don't have no direct issue with you just because you deal with somebody I used to deal with. Now, if there's some dibbling, some dabbling going on, there might be a little bit of a problem there. But if there's no cross pollination of fluids, then I don't think that. I don't think there's an issue. [00:11:51] Speaker C: Okay, so tell me the. So the flip side to my first question about seeing your exes in an environment together. Have you ever been in a situation, Define X experience, you know, I don't claim nobody. [00:12:03] Speaker B: See, that's why you. My nigga. Okay, go ahead, go ahead. [00:12:09] Speaker C: Have you ever been in a situation where you dated someone? [00:12:12] Speaker B: Define dating. [00:12:15] Speaker C: Quit playing with me. Have you ever frequented anyone that your homie frequented too? And then you guys have to maybe have a conversation and. [00:12:24] Speaker B: Oh, we've discussed it. [00:12:25] Speaker C: What's that conversation like, though? And. And who initiates the conversation? [00:12:30] Speaker B: I never initiate any conversation. [00:12:32] Speaker C: So they coming to you as a man? [00:12:34] Speaker B: No, I have had that experience. We'll get to that. But I have had somebody come to. What does that mean, come to you as a man? Like, what else are you coming to. [00:12:43] Speaker C: Me as, like, woman to woman? [00:12:47] Speaker B: Like, I don't like you. Obviously, you identify as a man. Why. Which is why you're approaching me in this manner. [00:12:53] Speaker C: Yeah, but this why I be thinking you on the spectrum. The hell I'm talking about. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Okay, so look. Okay, so when we. When we had the conversation, In case you wasn't paying attention, there was oxygen rapidly trying to get into her nostrils. Like there was an extreme psi rushing into her membrane. [00:13:28] Speaker C: So happy my daddy not here at this show. [00:13:32] Speaker B: That was A snort. So for me, with the conversation that we had was. It wasn't like comparing notes. It was just like, hey, bro, you rock with this. It's like this jacket. If Eric Bellinger come out here, be like, hey, bro, you done with that jacket? I'm like, yeah, this is, you know, after this, I'm done with it. [00:13:53] Speaker C: Cause he done turned the girl into a hand me down. [00:13:56] Speaker B: It's not a hand me down. It's okay. So y' all are doing sentimental things right now. Chuck Dizzle's having a field day with this. He's like, yeah, it ain't me. So all it is is just getting consent to partake in something that was what's formerly yours. And I'm okay with that as long as it's respectful. It's like, hey, bro, like, you through with that? I'm like, or not you through with that? That sounds crazy. Okay, I understand. You gotta understand, I'm a little spectrumy sometimes. You know what I'm saying? It'd be a little. It'd be a slight tism. It's a slight tism. So it's like, hey, bro, do you have an issue if I were to talk to this person? No. Like, no. Now, if I did have an issue, I would say that I'm not one of them. Be like, nah, it's all good. I'm a man. I don't care about no. Nah, bro, if I care, I'm gonna let you know. Hey, bro. No, that's me. [00:14:55] Speaker C: Now, what if you find interest in somebody that your friend dated? [00:15:03] Speaker B: I don't think that does happen. And if it did happen, I know how to just deactivate that part of my brain. [00:15:11] Speaker C: Man. What's the next. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Okay, no, look, what I'm saying is I have had that happen, but once I. Look, once that is signed over there, I'm cool. Like, I don't even. I don't even. [00:15:24] Speaker C: Because it's. It's your homies past or whatever. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't want nothing to do with it. I don't even. We was just talking about this before. I don't even like having access to my homies girls at all. Like, I don't want her phone number. I don't want her. I don't follow her on Instagram. Like, we got people that work with us. I don't talk to that girl. I don't follow them on Instagram. None of that. Well, except the homies. Like, but I know her before. [00:15:50] Speaker C: Who was you pointing at, though? [00:15:51] Speaker B: Chuck Dizzle and Chef Topshaw. [00:15:53] Speaker C: Oh, but they married. That's different. [00:15:54] Speaker B: But they wasn't always married. Oh, but I know. I knew Chuck. [00:15:59] Speaker C: You heard that. [00:16:03] Speaker B: That sounds. That sounded. That sounded. Y'. [00:16:07] Speaker A: All. [00:16:07] Speaker C: Y' all been knowing each other 20 years. [00:16:09] Speaker B: That sounded crazy. That sound crazy as hell. But they wasn't all good. What were they? So, okay, so what I'm saying is I just don't even want access to it. Like, I'm cool. I don't want to follow you. I remember there was. I used to work with some people, and they had an issue with their spouse because they spouse had a problem with me not following them back or, like, I didn't want to save their numbers. Like, if I need to get a toaster pew, I'm a call here. [00:16:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:41] Speaker B: And that's just how I operate across the board. [00:16:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I respect that. Who the hell bought tickets? Not y'. All. Like, at what time the door is open. [00:16:55] Speaker B: I ain't worried about it. [00:16:56] Speaker C: I was trying to sneak some more homies in, and they was like, girl, we hit the cap. We can't get nobody else on the lift. [00:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I ain't worried about it. I'm just waiting for somebody that ain't been here yet to walk in. That's all I'm waiting for. I waited for that moment. Hey, Tony, I'm gonna come out this jacket. It's hot. Go ahead. [00:17:11] Speaker C: Okay, y' all tell me, just. If you could just shout it out real quick. If you have a black name or like a ghetto name, like, what's. Or your sister or your brother or something like, this is ghetto that's up there. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Wait, wait, wait. You gotta resay it so that way we can hear it on the mic.

[00:21:10] Speaker C: No, you know, like Kimberly Inn. Okay, okay. [00:21:14] Speaker B: Kimberly Inn. I would say the ghettos. The ghetto white names would be somewhere around, like, Zachary. [00:21:21] Speaker C: That's in the Bible. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Damn. You got to pray for me. He ain't done with me. He ain't through with me yet. [00:21:31] Speaker C: Well, let me. Let me tell you about somebody who's having a hard time on social media right now with a very, very black name. His name is Tyler the creator. So Tyler the creator is Currently being dragged on social media because his old tweets from 2011, 2012 have resurfaced after Tyler the creator was upset that his fan base does not gravitate to his affirmative Afrocentric black type of music. So they've been pulling up all these old tweets and it's crazy to me that these tweets are still available on Elon Musk's Internet. [00:22:08] Speaker B: Well, so there's a program and I'm gonna give you some game which Tyler didn't obviously get. There's an app that I use. I don't even know if the app still available. Oh shit. There's an app that I use called Tweet Deleterious. [00:22:23] Speaker C: It's free. [00:22:24] Speaker B: It was nail. No, I had to pay $40 for that. I'm not paying for shit. No, hold on. No, hold on. Before y' all keep judging me, I started my Twitter account in 2008. There's no tweets from 2008 to 2014. Not one. [00:22:40] Speaker C: Was you talking crazy. [00:22:42] Speaker B: That's what Twitter was. We just say whatever. It didn't start out where Twitter was. Like CNBC is on here. Like they wouldn't own the Twitter on the app. It was a big ass group chat and everybody was just saying whatever they just thinking, right? [00:22:54] Speaker C: So Tyler the creator said, I hate the black dude from Victorious. Does anybody know who the black dude from Victorious is today? Leon Thomas. Let's go to the next one. Go ahead. [00:23:12] Speaker B: Tyler says f real hip hop. That ish is annoying. You f words are not special now. I feel like Jeremy Hex reading this. You f words are not special because you hate mainstream and love only 90s rap. Shut the F up. [00:23:31] Speaker C: Let me get one more. [00:23:33] Speaker B: Tyler, the creator says R. Kelly peed on a effing child and got away with it. That is the most swagged out shit I have ever heard in my life. [00:23:45] Speaker C: One more. Hit him with another one. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Tony, how in the F is cyberbullying real? Hahaha. Just walk away from the screen like close your eyes. [00:24:00] Speaker C: Go ahead, Tony. [00:24:02] Speaker B: Another one. [00:24:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:05] Speaker B: Yo, I made like a bunch of effing money. Oh, a bunch of effing white people chant today. That was so tight. [00:24:14] Speaker C: Last one got to the last one. [00:24:17] Speaker B: Tyler creator trying to find the COVID behind this anti black fan base. Oh, that's funny. [00:24:27] Speaker C: What's the wildest thing you said on social media that you had to sell it? Told me you used to say anything on the radio. [00:24:38] Speaker B: What did I wildest thing I said, what's the wildest Thing I said already. Oh, I got two write ups. So one, I tweeted, it's probably. I was probably still up, but I tweeted and I got it written up for it. I said, I think, okay, this is what I said. I said, dear white people. [00:25:01] Speaker C: It'S already back. [00:25:04] Speaker B: I said, dear white people, upon waking up this morning, I listened to the Kanye west graduation album, and I have come to the harsh realization that I would like my Kanye back. If you would be willing to trade, we as the black community, would be willing to give you logic. And so I tweeted that, and then I read it on the air, and I got called into the principal's office and shout out to my former boss, Doc Winner. I called in the principal's office and he was like, you know, you got written up. You got a complaint filed against you today for racist rhetoric. And I was like, racist rhetoric? I didn't even say nothing racist. And he was like, well. And he read back. They played the audio. And I was like, oh, shit. He's like, well, you can't say these types of things on the radio. I said, well, look, bro, I'm not racist. I hate everybody equally. And then he was like, get out of my office and don't do that no more. But that's, like, the worst thing. The other thing that I said on Twitter, that was probably really, really bad. I can't repeat, but it has something to do. It was so. You know how, like, over the years, they removed words that we can't use no more? I was using all them words. I was using a lot of them words. Just keeping it a buck, you know, because it wasn't like, we didn't just. Society has become more and more Drake as we age. And so, like, I just. I'm me. My. My last name is Drake. So. [00:26:45] Speaker C: That was such a horrible cleanup. That really is his last name. But that was a horrible. [00:26:48] Speaker B: That is my last name. So it just become more and more like that. So they keep removing words that we. [00:26:54] Speaker C: I don't like that. I can't say no more. [00:26:56] Speaker B: You can't say what? [00:26:58] Speaker C: No. [00:26:58] Speaker B: Yeah, you could say that. [00:26:59] Speaker C: Well, y' all can say it. I can't. [00:27:01] Speaker B: No, you can say that one. I think they gave. [00:27:02] Speaker C: Yeah, but PP gonna bleep that out. [00:27:06] Speaker B: I think they gave that one back to us. [00:27:07] Speaker C: Oh, they gave us up. [00:27:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:15] Speaker C: You can't say stupid. [00:27:17] Speaker B: You can't. [00:27:19] Speaker C: Which one is. [00:27:20] Speaker B: No, you can't say. [00:27:21] Speaker C: Okay. [00:27:22] Speaker A: Okay. [00:27:22] Speaker B: Which is interesting, because stupid is not a medical condition. And retardation Is. But anyway. [00:27:29] Speaker C: Sorry, what do you guys know about Al Sharpton? [00:27:37] Speaker B: You say he a snitch. Damn. Hey, wait a minute. Before. Before we. Before we proceed. When somebody. This is what I've been told is that when you refer to somebody as a snitch, you have to present paperwork, like, right there and there. She got a PDF in her pocket. [00:27:55] Speaker C: Well, well, Mr. Drake, we actually have the news. A report on it. Okay, we can play the news report. [00:28:04] Speaker B: Hey, we living in wild times, you know, saying, I go ahead. Sorry. [00:28:10] Speaker C: No, you go, you go, you go. [00:28:12] Speaker B: I.

Like, they said they was gonna kill me with the. Yeah, that's what come with this. But sorry, also, I think Reverend Al Sharp. Is he a really reverend? No, I mean, right now, is he practicing?

[00:29:18] Speaker C: Have you ever told on, like, a sibling, cousin? [00:29:24] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:29:28] Speaker C: Pettiest thing you told on somebody with. To get ahead in. You're in an adult's POV to get ahead. [00:29:37] Speaker B: I haven't told on anyone to get ahead, but. Ooh, ooh, that one's dicey. I have threatened to tell on people who Randall. But I didn't necessarily follow through with it because they didn't put me in a position that I had to. [00:29:59] Speaker C: So you was like, if you keep playing with me, I'm gonna tell Mommy? [00:30:02] Speaker B: Nah, I was more so like, I'm gonna tell the homies. [00:30:06] Speaker C: I always wanted them. [00:30:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, I'm gonna let the homies know this is what's going on. Oh, yeah. [00:30:13] Speaker C: Okay, okay. [00:30:14] Speaker B: But a sibling. No. I'm the oldest sibling, so I got told on. [00:30:18] Speaker C: What's the pettiest things your sibling told on you about? [00:30:20] Speaker B: This fool gonna tell my mom. This fool gonna tell my mom that. So we have, you know, we all come from humble beginnings. You Know what I mean? Humble beginnings and whatnot. So I didn't necessarily have the means to acquire my own house to facilitate entertainment of a female human. Right. [00:30:46] Speaker C: Oh. [00:30:47] Speaker B: So I had to use the common space, the common area, which is the house that we all lived in. We lived in three bedroom houses, four of us living there. [00:30:53] Speaker C: You hit something on the couch. [00:30:58] Speaker B: I did not. On a couch. [00:31:00] Speaker C: On the floor? [00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah. On the floor, yeah. [00:31:03] Speaker C: With people there? [00:31:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:05] Speaker C: With people in the living room, perhaps. [00:31:11] Speaker B: Okay, well, I'm not shy. [00:31:17] Speaker C: I don't know what that means. [00:31:20] Speaker B: I'm not really. I'm not shy. So for me, it was not a problem. [00:31:25] Speaker C: Was this your first time? [00:31:26] Speaker B: No, not necess. No. But. Okay, look, let me tell you the other part. What happened was after I did that, I was like, let me just do the room thing. Right. So what happened was my mom walked in the room on me and a woman, but I didn't stop. [00:31:44] Speaker C: Oh, y' all grown. [00:31:46] Speaker B: Yeah, this was older. Yeah. We wasn't on the old. [00:31:49] Speaker C: Well, this trumps my tattoo story. [00:31:51] Speaker B: What'd you do? [00:31:53] Speaker C: My little sister told my daddy I had a tattoo. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Where'd you get a tattoo, though? [00:31:56] Speaker C: It's on my back. [00:31:57] Speaker B: Oh, that ain't. [00:31:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I ain't never got caught fucking. Like, that's crazy. [00:32:03] Speaker B: Well, Mama pb, neither have we, you know? Neither have we. [00:32:08] Speaker C: I need Mama PB to come sit on stage so I can watch my mouth because I keep forgetting she's right there. Anybody watch Versus Yesterday, who y' all. [00:32:19] Speaker B: Had winning cash money? Wait, who was going for no Limit? I'm playing. [00:32:32] Speaker C: Did you watch it? [00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I watched it. It was great. It was just. It was. It was just exactly what we thought it was going to be. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:40] Speaker B: We are get to this day, right? The verse has already happened. Her and myself are getting. What do you just call, dragged, right? [00:32:48] Speaker C: Dragged. For filth on Twitter. [00:32:50] Speaker B: Twitter right now for filth. And I showered today all over social media. Because we basically said on our radio show that cash money is going to win by a landslide. And that's exactly what happened. Not that it's a competition in that way, but. [00:33:03] Speaker C: Well, it's called versus. [00:33:06] Speaker B: Touche. [00:33:07] Speaker C: Because I'm irritated with people in my comments right now saying, why this is a win for the culture. Why you asking, what's the score? Why you saying, who gonna win? Who going? People always saying it's a win for the culture when they team down. Like, it's called versus. It's a score, you know, 10 hits or, well, 20 hits. But in this case, it was 10 hits back to back. But we do have some clips from the episode. [00:33:28] Speaker A: Oh, Lord. [00:33:30] Speaker B: Yeah, Stop playing with Snoop Dogg. [00:33:33] Speaker C: So I want to have a conversation with the people in the comments that was telling us when we said that Cash Money was gonna beat no limit, that we forgot about all the Snoop Dogg records that he didn't perform. They brought Snoop Dogg out to perform the verse of a C. Murder song. [00:33:50] Speaker B: Right. And then didn't he really take full advantage of that? The part the Snoop Dogg. I mean, the part that stood out to me about the Snoop Dogg thing is right before Snoop came out, Mannie Fresh made the announcement and said, hey, look, we running short on time. We all got. We got all we need to get up out of here. They finna rush us. Everybody gonna do one verse. This ain't against cash money. This ain't against no limit. They came out and did 16 verses on fuck the Mother Niggas. It was like Snoop, they let the whole song play and did the outro. [00:34:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:34:21] Speaker B: And then Snoop went acapella. [00:34:23] Speaker C: Then I tell you what threw me off when they mentioned that part where they said, oh, it's going to be one verse on this side, one verse on that side. And then a Millie played. Yeah, I thought Lil Wayne did not come out. [00:34:32] Speaker A: He. [00:34:32] Speaker B: Wayne. And Wayne wasn't there. [00:34:34] Speaker C: I think he was in the back throwing the temper tantrum. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Nah, he wasn't there. He wasn't there. It was. It was. I wouldn't have played a Millie. They got other records. They didn't even do Steelfly. [00:34:44] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, they didn't. They didn't. [00:34:46] Speaker B: They didn't even play Still Fly. I'm like, that's one of the records right there. You could have swapped out a Millie. And then there was one. Silk the Shocker did his best, but. [00:34:55] Speaker C: They didn't even perform that school. [00:34:56] Speaker B: God bless Silky soccer, bro. He tried. [00:35:00] Speaker C: The real star of the night was Maya X. Mia X. Yeah. I just learned about her yesterday. [00:35:06] Speaker B: Yeah, she was. She. She was. Yeah, she rapped. Now I'm gonna tell you what happened when. [00:35:11] Speaker C: I mean, I was like two when. [00:35:12] Speaker B: They came out, when Juvenile played, when slow motion came on, it was over with. It was like we. Everybody could just go home. He didn't even have to do. They didn't have to do the rest of the songs because the crowd was already sold. It was like this over. [00:35:26] Speaker C: But then 504 boys performed that. I could tell that was a good leader. I mean, a good follow up. You ain't gotta say too much from the look in your eyes I can tell you wanna and you ain't gotta call me Yell just as sad as you wanna I wanna. I didn't cuss for you. You see that? So versus did tweet who's next? DJ Head, who would you like to see in the next versus battle? [00:35:53] Speaker B: Ooh. I mean, I wanna go back to the producers, because the rappers. The rappers is cool, but if you're not gonna have everybody there to perform all the records, then it kind of. It kind of, like, cheapens it a little bit. So if you just do producers, we can just listen to the producers, play the music, and just appreciate their catalog. So if we gonna go producers, I would like to see. Which won't happen, but I would like to see Jermaine Dupree and Dr. Dre. [00:36:27] Speaker C: I think that one could happen. The one that I think can't happen is the one I want. Jermaine Dupree and be. Dude. [00:36:36] Speaker B: He gotta go to court. Oh, no, he not. He can't even got. He got. [00:36:42] Speaker C: Well, the streets are saying the president gonna pardon him. That's what the street said. [00:36:47] Speaker B: Well, no, I'm not even talking about pardon him. I don't. They gotta go shoot that on the. In the. Yeah, like, JD Gotta pull up. They gotta get buzzed in. [00:36:57] Speaker C: Like you talking about on the prison yard. [00:37:00] Speaker B: Well, wherever. [00:37:01] Speaker C: He not gonna be in jail that long. [00:37:04] Speaker B: When he getting out. He got four years, right, bro, what you talking about? We gotta get this in next versus. [00:37:11] Speaker C: Been gone for four years. [00:37:12] Speaker B: We gotta get this in next year, 20, 26. If we talking about the next one. You want to do a big one, that's when you do it. You do it on the yard. Who not tuning in, That'll be. They big as well. Gotta see this. Crazy. You know what I'm saying? I'm watching that. [00:37:30] Speaker C: I want to see Chris Brown and Usher. [00:37:33] Speaker B: I think that'll be dope. Didn't Usher do one? [00:37:35] Speaker C: No. [00:37:36] Speaker B: Oh. Ooh. [00:37:39] Speaker C: Y' all think Chris Brown will win? TP2 is an amazing album. Oh, I'm still talking about R. Kelly. [00:37:48] Speaker B: Yeah, because you know that Chris Brown album, that Chris Brown album, big steppers. TP2 is crazy, because I wanted to. [00:37:58] Speaker C: Say R. Kelly with the cameras on. Another one that I think would be dope, though, is Tyga and yg. [00:38:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that'd be hard. [00:38:07] Speaker C: We need that one. [00:38:08] Speaker B: But they did kind of. They. They didn't. They. I don't know. [00:38:11] Speaker C: They did it at Rolling Out. [00:38:12] Speaker B: At Rolling Out. You were there for that. [00:38:13] Speaker C: Yeah, they did it at Rolling out, it was actually. That's one of my favorite Rolling Loud performances. But I think people sleep on how many hits they both have. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:21] Speaker C: Like club records. [00:38:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that. Is there a bigger Southern versus than the Jeezy Gucci? Is there a bigger one than that? [00:38:31] Speaker C: Not that I can think. Not that I can think of off the top of my head. [00:38:35] Speaker B: Oh, Ti Ti and who? And Lil Flip. [00:38:39] Speaker C: Lil Flip, get her ass. [00:38:41] Speaker B: Hey, don't you know what? See, hold on, hold on, hold on. This what I don't like. This what I don't like, right about the. When people say stuff like that. Cause it make me sound like I'm hating. Like, I was like, Lil Flip. Like, I rock with Lil Flip. [00:38:58] Speaker C: I wasn't expecting it. [00:38:59] Speaker B: He got one of the worst lines in hip hop history. But I fuck with Lil Flip. [00:39:02] Speaker C: What's that? [00:39:03] Speaker B: He says, I treat you like milk. I do nothing to spoil you. [00:39:05] Speaker C: Yeah, that was bad. [00:39:06] Speaker B: That was crazy. [00:39:07] Speaker C: And I was just. I just. I just made a R B. [00:39:14] Speaker B: You would see women like that. Well, Gina, though, at some point, we. [00:39:19] Speaker C: Do have to discuss how the rappers. We're not gonna talk about it tonight, but how the rappers in the early 2000s were butchering the R B songs that they did to. With the R B singers. [00:39:29] Speaker B: Oh, the Flips. [00:39:30] Speaker C: Yeah, like. Like that. That one not like, you know, shout out to him, I fuck with you, but like, when he was young, bird, that. The lyrics on the business was not that good. The lyrics on Sunshine was not that good. Now if you fabulous Ja Rule Wale, you know, like, people like that, you know, then they had great pens and they, you know, they did an amazing job. But the ones that they was just throwing. Just throwing R B songs on, they was butchering them lyrically. They were. But I have. We have somebody in the building that does not butcher songs. He actually makes hits. [00:40:07] Speaker B: Make some noise right now for the homie Eric Bellinger. Thank you. [00:40:16] Speaker A: Yo, what's up? How y' all feeling? How y' all feeling?

You ever been to an event? Oh. [00:40:43] Speaker A: Sometimes. It'd be like, all right, so nine to Midnight. I see on the flyer, I'm going to show a good eleven. Like it could be right on time. [00:40:53] Speaker B: What about like a studio session? [00:40:55] Speaker A: Oh, I'm on time early. First one there, last to leave. It's different when we working. [00:40:59] Speaker B: I like that. A professional answer. So work at the club is different than working in the studio? Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:41:03] Speaker A: Cause if you're there too early, you the corny dude. [00:41:05] Speaker C: Yeah, but the real magic is parking. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Lot pimping right at the end. That's what I'm saying. At the end. [00:41:09] Speaker C: It's magic hanging out, standing around. [00:41:11] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Man, we was just talking about those R and B hip hop collabs from back in the day. [00:41:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:19] Speaker A: You know, that was it. [00:41:20] Speaker C: I love those. We done talked about that before. [00:41:22] Speaker A: Yep.

[00:44:16] Speaker A: No, see what had happened? [00:44:17] Speaker C: You not just behind. [00:44:18] Speaker A: Drop Smite. Drop smike. [00:44:20] Speaker C: God damn. [00:44:20] Speaker A: I know what you mean. I know what you mean. [00:44:23] Speaker B: Hey, you the dude behind dudes you like? [00:44:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Cause I thought we was civilized. I thought we was gonna. [00:44:30] Speaker B: Yeah, you right about that, but. [00:44:34] Speaker A: Nah, I know where the question was headed. What's the actual question? [00:44:42] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:44:43] Speaker A: DJ Head, come on. So wait, I know you. [00:44:48] Speaker B: We be clowning. No, I was just gonna say, like, I know I. I know I messed that up about the homies, but I'm just saying, from your perspective, I remember a lyric. I think it was on. It was on Grad. No, it was on College Dropout, where Kanye was saying he saved all the good beats for himself. How do you decide what's the work for somebody else and what you gonna take for your projects? Because you got so much of it, man. [00:45:16] Speaker A: So now I just be really intentional before the session even start. It used to be like, we do the songs, and then I'm mad. The producer wanted to give it away, but I want to keep it. And that was mayhem. That was always a recipe for disaster. So now it's like each session just gotta be for, like. This session is a Chris Brown session or this session is for my albums, or. You know what I mean? So at the end, it was just clear what it was. [00:45:40] Speaker B: So it's so. But okay, have you ever given somebody a record and it was like, you know what? Hey, bro, you had to put that call like, hey, I. I need that one. Like, you gotta. [00:45:51] Speaker A: I. I Lowkey tried on New Flame. I was really? Yeah, I. I hit him back like, hey, are y' all gonna use that? [00:46:03] Speaker B: So wait, did you not. You see, they took that one away. You can't say that one. Oh, yeah, they took that one too. When they changed the name Washington Redskins. Oh, now they're the Washington football team. My high school was Commanders. [00:46:17] Speaker A: They had to change their name from the Chiefs to the Locomotives. [00:46:21] Speaker C: What? [00:46:24] Speaker A: It's crazy. I'm glad. [00:46:26] Speaker B: This ain't even going to be a serious conversation. [00:46:29] Speaker C: This is. This is my fourth interview with Eric in less than 12 months, and we've never had a serious conversation. [00:46:37] Speaker A: You know, you just got to keep it funky nowadays, and, you know, that shouldn't go viral anyway. [00:46:43] Speaker B: Wait, so what happened? [00:46:44] Speaker A: You. [00:46:44] Speaker B: You guys, you did New Flame, and then you called Brown, like, yeah, love more too. [00:46:51] Speaker A: I was like, yo, love more is crazy, bro. Y' all tripping, bro. It was like you just got. Nicki Minaj went. I said, oh, never mind. Y' all good. [00:46:59] Speaker B: Y' all good. Y' all good. [00:47:01] Speaker A: You got my info, right? Publishing info. Don't forget it. I just text it again, just in case. At the top of your threads. [00:47:11] Speaker C: We just had this pause moment on stage. And you do do writing for other artists. Have you ever wrote something for, like, a female artist where you was like. [00:47:18] Speaker A: Pause for a female artist? You know what the females be. They be loving the more harsh, possible more than the fellas. So it's like, you know what I mean? They want to hear. I used to try to write more dainty, more demure. But they like, nah, nah, nah, give me that shit. Give me that raw shit for real. So it's easier low key. [00:47:39] Speaker C: Who's been your favorite person to write for? Favorite or to write with? [00:47:46] Speaker A: Nah, I keep saying Chris, but definitely his sessions. The way we work in the studio is fire. Cause he just trusts me. Real, for real. And I trust everything he be doing too. So we go back and forth. It's like, yo, try this. Do it like this. And he won't even. He's like, all right. Ha. Do it again. Do it again. All right, Cool, Cool. Is that it? He's real open to, you know, any type of constructive Criticism, you know what I mean? Like a real student of the game. [00:48:12] Speaker C: If you ever do a, like, you know, bring my friend to work day. [00:48:16] Speaker A: Yeah, easy call. Easy breezy call. [00:48:22] Speaker B: Do you know I looked up your credits because I'm like, damn. I want to actually get your opinion on something we never talked about. [00:48:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:29] Speaker B: Can you guess how many writing credits you have total? [00:48:34] Speaker A: It feel like above 300. I don't know. [00:48:37] Speaker B: Damn, you really close. [00:48:39] Speaker A: What is it? [00:48:39] Speaker B: It took me. It took me two hours, bro, to figure out, like, the number I came up with is 353. Cheese. [00:48:49] Speaker A: Thank you. I never counted. That's fire to know that. That's dope, bro. [00:48:54] Speaker B: 350 records for other humans is insane, bro. [00:49:01] Speaker C: How do you keep your. [00:49:02] Speaker B: You rich as, bro, you know, let me get $20. [00:49:10] Speaker A: I don't know, man. It's dope because I just was sessioning. You know what I'm saying? I was never counting. And, you know, I think as time progressed is when I was like, oh, you know, when you look back and you see how many actual placements and how many singles and, you know, from mixtapes to actual singles to actual albums, and it's just a blessing, you know, to. I remember when I just was like, I know I'm hard. I know I can write. I just need a chance. I just need to be in those rooms. I just need that shot. So to see, you know, where it has come, it's like, oh, somewhere along the lines, it happened. [00:49:44] Speaker B: It happened. [00:49:45] Speaker C: You do do multiple genres, too. We gonna get into that in a second. But I want to talk about what's the difference of writing? [00:49:53] Speaker A: You said the difference in what? [00:49:56] Speaker C: Because I think, you know, that's when. [00:49:59] Speaker B: Somebody gonna ask you for some money. [00:50:02] Speaker C: No, I want to know what's the difference in traditional writing and diss track writing? Because you do. You did write a diss track for Tory Lane. [00:50:08] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:50:08] Speaker A: Okay. Traditional, you know, you want something to make sure everybody sings along, feels good, but when it's a diss track, it's for sure like, I'm trying to knock him out first round. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to spar. [00:50:24] Speaker B: I'm not trying to go 12 toe. [00:50:25] Speaker A: To toe with you. You know, I'm trying to, you know, really jump out, pop out. Yeah. [00:50:31] Speaker B: Do you. You're a really nice guy. Do you go somewhere? Did you? I mean, I. Do you? But what does Eric Bellinger look like? Mad. I've never seen you lose your shit. I know. I get quiet decade in plus and I've never seen you crash out. [00:50:47] Speaker A: No, for real. I'm not crashing out publicly in the car alone. Maybe I might yell real quick. [00:50:52] Speaker B: What's your. What do you yell? What's your go to yield the go to. [00:50:55] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a big, Like real loud. You know what I'm saying? And it's just a conversation with God. For real. Because it's like, what's the dilly? [00:51:10] Speaker B: Bravo. Can you imagine God's attention? [00:51:15] Speaker C: Bro. [00:51:16] Speaker B: Bro. [00:51:18] Speaker A: That's it. [00:51:19] Speaker B: Like, you. [00:51:22] Speaker A: Nah. But it's crazy. But mostly I just shut down. It's like, I don't got nothing to say. It's like, if you push me there, it's like, oh, damn, don't turn it back. [00:51:30] Speaker C: When's the last time you've been in. [00:51:31] Speaker A: That type of space being angry? Probably, right? Like now, I don't know. [00:51:38] Speaker B: Now I'm great at channeling. [00:51:39] Speaker A: Like, right now I'm great at channeling, you know, saying emotions. Like, I could be mad at this person. But you're over here. If we cool, that person will be like, I'm on the outside now. So I don't know. Like, I always, like, it just depends on who needs that type of reciprocation. [00:51:57] Speaker C: You just recently dropped a new album. [00:52:00] Speaker A: Yeah, There you go. Yes, sir. Afro easy. That's Afro easy. [00:52:06] Speaker C: Yeah, tell us about. Because this is different. Yeah, tell us a little about it. [00:52:09] Speaker A: Yeah, so. So the last two albums, I actually went to Africa and recorded them and had a writing camp out there. If you know about writing camps, you know. You know, it just kind of heightens the level of creativity, you know what I'm saying? When you bouncing off different people, great minds thinking alike, and if the right, right people is in a room, you can really make magic. So I went out there, not trying to make Afrobeats, but just to, you know, how people go to the Bahamas to make music or Mexico or the beach, just to switch up the environment. We just went to Africa and, man, I came out. You know what I'm saying, Shata? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? My shirt, you know, I'm still baptized Holy Ghost. [00:52:52] Speaker C: What's the difference in environment for you? Creating at home and then going over there, like, what's the things you learned? [00:52:56] Speaker A: Some things that you see, I think out here is very manufactured. It's very, very like, we're making a hit. We're making a hit, you know? And when I'm over there, it's more so like the feeling that I get. In the studio that we get based off like all the people is like, the energy is like, that's what we read it. Human behavior more. [00:53:17] Speaker C: So how have those. The fans of Afrobeats received you embracing that culture? [00:53:23] Speaker A: Surprisingly well. You know, I just went out there, I just got back two days ago from Nigeria, and I was able to perform the song. So the first trip, when I recorded it, it was like, you know, just us in the studio. This time I went and did a lot of performances. I did a lot of interviews, TV podcasts, club hostings. And it was just dope because the songs, they was running them, you know, I mean, like repeat running in the club, in the hottest clubs, you know, so it felt good, like to, you know, had that voice circle moment with. [00:53:54] Speaker B: The records out there. Is there. So I know that you obviously have to be a fan of something to. To with it, because I know that about you. Like, you. You really rock with Afro beats, but you a real R and B. Are you one of them people who see yourself going into other genres as well? Like, you see, you know, Queen Bee over there in that world. And it. She. It was an uphill battle for her. I don't know what the battle was like for you to get into the afro beats or if there is one, but do you see yourself throwing your name in a hat? [00:54:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I think that was it. I think I just wanted to try that out. And now that I've been able to do something different, but not too far, like, I could rap, but I never wanted to try rap. [00:54:33] Speaker B: I didn't. [00:54:33] Speaker A: Just didn't want to do it at all. And then country, like, I got some country songs that I've written. I took a couple of Nashville trips and, you know, but I wouldn't want to release those songs. But the Afro, I think it felt like I was close, closest to home because it's like R and B still, but the beats has just got a little more rhythm now. So I think after this, I'm gonna just get back to some R and B, get back to my roots and, you know, make some classic music. But I think this project was, for me, something refreshing and to keep it, you know, still feeling brand new for me since I've been doing it for so long. [00:55:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So when it comes to this project. You dropped the project. Well, we gotta have a conversation about how many songs going out. Okay. I know everybody playing the algorithm game. There are no bad songs on the Eric Bellinger project, which I, you know, I would tell you, you know what I'm saying, but the song, It'd be like 18 songs. No, it's 15 songs on the first, I think, rendition of the album. And then I think on deluxe, there's 20. Yeah, okay. I know there are more songs that exist. How do you decide what goes on the project? What goes on deluxe? And then is there any way we can start to, like, lower the amount of songs on these albums? [00:55:45] Speaker A: Because that's what we need to do. Not for real, honestly. And it's crazy because my biggest songs, I don't have over 40 albums. Like, this last one was the 45th project. [00:55:56] Speaker B: Say that again. [00:55:56] Speaker A: 45. 45. 45. Thank you. My biggest project out of all of them got nine songs, bro, so. And I know that, but it's just. I don't care. [00:56:10] Speaker B: I'm in my journalist bag, right? 45. So you said 45 albums? [00:56:15] Speaker A: Yep. [00:56:15] Speaker B: That's insane. [00:56:16] Speaker A: That's. Yeah. [00:56:17] Speaker B: The other part is you dropped every year for the last decade except 2022. I think 2022 is the only year you missed. Yeah. You didn't drop a project, so consistency is key. Congrats on that, bro. [00:56:31] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:56:31] Speaker B: Crazy. The other question I had for. For you specifically is you also jumping in your acting bag. I know you came up and you talked about it. You and I are in a movie together called Soul of a Sister. [00:56:43] Speaker A: Yes, sir. [00:56:44] Speaker B: It's available. You know, check that out. [00:56:46] Speaker C: Right now, this feel like a scene on Soul of a Sister, though. [00:56:49] Speaker B: It do. It do, huh? [00:56:51] Speaker A: You about to rap? [00:56:52] Speaker B: Yeah, it kind of do. [00:56:53] Speaker C: Yeah. I need y' all to rap. [00:56:54] Speaker A: You mean it? [00:56:56] Speaker C: Bet. Check it out. [00:56:58] Speaker A: Bet. Plus, all of a sister. Clap it up for that first movie. First movie. Yes, sir. [00:57:05] Speaker B: You are really good in that, bro. Like, yo, acting, it makes me. I'm gonna be honest. It makes me feel like you fake like, you know how. [00:57:14] Speaker A: Like, it's like, wait, I know you, but who that? [00:57:17] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. It's like this n. Fake like, do you plan on jumping into some more roles, like, and then what was it like for you coming out of that and transitioning back into the music full time? [00:57:26] Speaker A: Yep. Definitely got the bug, you know, from doing it. I'm glad that my first role was, like, in the music world, you know, because it was something comfortable, something that I naturally do, being an A R, looking for talent, you know, so it was real natural for me. But looking out for different films and different roles, that's definitely where we at now. I just did a recent audition, like the self tape joint. So, you know, that was something for Tyler. Perry. So you know what I'm saying? Pray for me on that one. Yeah. [00:57:54] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? [00:57:56] Speaker C: Feel me? They better not been trying to put you on all the Queens Men. [00:57:59] Speaker A: Nah, deny it's. [00:58:02] Speaker B: This is. [00:58:03] Speaker A: This is a. It's a Christmas movie. Something. Something positive. Something positive. [00:58:07] Speaker C: I would love to see you say. [00:58:08] Speaker A: It could be a Christmas movie and. [00:58:09] Speaker C: Still go, yeah, it's Tyler Perry now. It's Tyler Perry. [00:58:13] Speaker A: Yeah. No, we going. We staying away from that. We staying away. [00:58:17] Speaker C: It would be dope to see you on something fun like a house party. [00:58:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:21] Speaker C: Like, not. Not a house party, but like. Yeah, type of house party type of. [00:58:24] Speaker A: Movie that we could do. [00:58:26] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that'll be calmatic. [00:58:28] Speaker A: Let's go. Put it up there. Put it out there. [00:58:30] Speaker C: You are also going on tour with Jagged Ed. [00:58:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Big deal. Big deal. [00:58:36] Speaker A: For show. For show.

[00:59:01] Speaker A: Yeah, I got you. That's easy. You already know. You already know. Is it. [00:59:04] Speaker B: Do you find it? Because you. [00:59:06] Speaker A: I. Plus three. [00:59:07] Speaker B: Three is crazy. [00:59:09] Speaker C: Plus, we gonna see what we can do, gang. [00:59:12] Speaker B: You. I remember you doing your own tour, and I remember. I think we was on FaceTime or. I got to tell you a story, too. Yeah. I remember when we was on. You was on tour, I think was on FaceTime, and you were doing your own tour, and you were like, every show you were changing the set list, and I just didn't understand why you would do that to yourself. Like, oh, yeah, I'm doing a different set in every city. Are you approaching this tour with Jack? It is. [00:59:34] Speaker A: Nah, I think that was. That was like somebody had gave me a bright idea, like, but you. You need to do is look in itunes in each category, each territory, and you know what I'm saying? I was like, that makes sense. No, but when I got there, it was like I hadn't rehearsed the set the whole night. [00:59:51] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:59:52] Speaker A: Each city. So I was like, nah, we gotta just. If you ain't heard it, we put you on. That's it. [00:59:57] Speaker B: That's a fact. The other thing, story I tell you is I never told this story before, but I was waiting till we got on the show again. You did a record back in the day called not back in the day. It wasn't that long ago. You did a record with the homie AD and it was a LA leaker record called facetime. And that shit was a slap slap. And so I at the time was working on a competing radio show at a competing station, and I thought the record was good, so I put it on head's hit list, in which I featured the record. Yeah, and I got a little. I got a little. You know. [01:00:36] Speaker A: I was wondering. No, but I'm sure they was happy about it. [01:00:40] Speaker B: No, I gotta look. No, they were. They were. They were. I saw them and I was like, hey, bro, if I'm gonna tell you A records is trash over the years, I'm gonna tell you when you got some shit. See, that's this record with Eric Bellinger and A.D. this is a hit, bro. This fire. And so I supported the record. I played it and everything. And I got a little, you know. You know, a little pushback from that, obviously, for obvious reasons. [01:01:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:01] Speaker B: And I just wanted to say, tell you that you did your shit on that song, and it got me in trouble. [01:01:09] Speaker A: Hey, you see the politics behind the scenes, man, Y' all never know what's going on. I'm like, I know I did my job and it ain't playing, but I luckily could walk around like, I know it ain't me. You know what I'm saying? [01:01:17] Speaker B: Like. [01:01:18] Speaker A: But some people will get discouraged, you know what I'm saying? Like, for real. For real. But just know, like, nah, I'm gonna keep pushing. And what's for me is for me because to know that head is still. Was still a fan of that to that level, that's. That's a bigger compliment. So good looking, bro, for sure. [01:01:33] Speaker B: Are we ever getting another Easy Christmas? [01:01:38] Speaker A: Probably not stream that, you know what I'm saying? I'm trying. I'm trying to be on my Mariah Carey because she only said it one time. So we just got to make sure people go, listen, make sure Easy Christmas is dropping again in November. Here comes the link. But I'm gonna do a new Christmas song. I got a new Christmas song. Like at least a single, you know? [01:02:00] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. [01:02:00] Speaker A: So that joint crazy. So be on the lookout. [01:02:03] Speaker B: Okay? For sure. [01:02:04] Speaker C: I've. I've always wondered because you. You are married to Lamia. I'VE always wondered, how many times have you had to tell your homies, no, I'm not hooking you up with my sister in law. [01:02:15] Speaker B: Cause you finna have to tell me that right now. Oh, wait, no, never mind, never mind. [01:02:18] Speaker A: No, it happened. [01:02:19] Speaker B: No, no, no. I forgot, forgot, forgot, forgot. [01:02:21] Speaker A: It happened a lot of times. [01:02:22] Speaker B: I forgot. [01:02:23] Speaker A: It happened a lot of times for sure. [01:02:25] Speaker C: Are y'. All. Y' all understand what we talk about right now? [01:02:28] Speaker A: It happened a lot of times. But, you know, people understand when I be like, yeah, bro, I don't know what I could do. But now, you know, it stopped. You know what I'm saying? [01:02:38] Speaker C: Because it's clear now. [01:02:39] Speaker A: It's clear now. We know what time it is. You know what I'm saying? You don't want to get beat up by Kelly and Maxis. Stop. [01:02:44] Speaker B: Hey, bro, let me tell you something. I met Jonathan Majors and I'm. I fanned out because I'm a huge in Marvel cinematic Universe person. Yeah. And then after I fanned out, I'm looking, I'm like, man, I'm not gonna fight this. Look at. [01:02:56] Speaker A: Not even for play. [01:02:57] Speaker B: This really looked like an avenger in real life, you know, like, you know, all that real. There's no prosthetics. Listen, he really looked like an action figure. I'm cool. I want nothing. [01:03:07] Speaker A: It's real. I call myself training with him for the last tour. I got my results, but the way there, I crawled. I crawled every, Every, every inch. [01:03:19] Speaker B: But the way my heart is set up exactly. [01:03:23] Speaker A: I said, I can't do it, bro. He said, yes, you can. [01:03:26] Speaker C: No, I can't. Can you. Can you talk to us about the label? [01:03:30] Speaker A: You did your Isaiah J. Yeah, man. Yes, sir. Shout out, Isaiah. Shout out to the label, man. Always Entertainment, Something we've been building for a long time now. We really just kind of popped out this year, this August as far as, like, our debut. You know, we did a magazine launch. We did a thing always August where everybody in the label released just to so everybody can see what we've been doing. But it's really me, like, having so much experience and me and my relationships and the resources and giving back, like, doing something with everything instead. Like, now that I know all these people and, you know, just kind of have an idea of what to do is like, yo, I just want to just get that out, you know, look for new talent and, you know, be that person for them that, you know, they could look to when they need advice or, you know, some guidance.

Just wanted to know what catches your attention for new artists that are coming out. [01:10:59] Speaker A: Catchy hooks, catchy songs, catchy words, like, for real. Just like, it don't matter what you look like, what you talk like, walk like. If you got a song that's catchy and I can't stop singing it, that's better than me remembering what you look like. So, you know, when it comes to making music, just make sure your songs is catchy. Make sure you got a hook. That's just first for me personally, you know what I mean? So I don't know. I like a catchy songwriter. Write the songs. Write your own songs, please. [01:11:29] Speaker B: Oh, another hand. Anybody? This the time? Oh, right. Okay. Her first and then her. Throw it. Go ahead, throw it. [01:11:37] Speaker A: Toss. [01:11:39] Speaker B: Yep. [01:11:40] Speaker C: Do you have any writing camps coming up soon? [01:11:44] Speaker A: Not currently. Not currently, but we will do another one soon. We did one recently for Don Belly new album, so all her songs came from this new songwriting camp that we did. Did. So definitely gonna do another one soon. We be posting about it and we also invite up and coming songwriters to them, too, just because you never know who really got it. So be on the lookout. Follow our page. All wins, ent. [01:12:07] Speaker B: All wins, ent. There you go. [01:12:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:12:09] Speaker B: Throw it right here. [01:12:10] Speaker A: Yo, yo. Oh, we on fire. [01:12:13] Speaker B: There you go. [01:12:14] Speaker C: Hi, my name is Afoni. Is there an Artist that in a genre that you haven't tackled yet that you want to work with. Maybe an old artist that isn't alive anymore or a new artist. [01:12:26] Speaker A: Yeah, man. It's definitely a lot of artists who I'm a big fan of, like Jasmine Sullivan. I love to get in with her. She's singing, you know what I'm saying? Song and singing. So I think that'll be my first choice. [01:12:42] Speaker B: We're gonna do one more right here. What you mean? You gotta catch it. Three, two, one. Oh. [01:12:56] Speaker C: So you're saying catchy songs is something that you look forward to. What's the formula for making a catchy song? [01:13:02] Speaker A: Oh, man, for me, I like to come up with melodies first, right when I'm writing a song. So even if I have the concept in mind, if I go into Booth and I'm gonna do, like, a melody take, I might blurt out some words that are along that concept. But when I'm doing the melodies, I'm trying to think as simplified as possible. Like a lullaby almost. You know what I'm saying? Like, when I'm going in there, it's like, come with a lullaby melody, and then your words just really repeat the same word over and over. Like, it's simple formula, you know what I mean? Simple melody. Repeat the word or the line over and over and over again. Like, I'm literally telling you right now, that's it, you know? And once you got. Once you got a song like that, of course everything else matters. Like when you look at a pie and you see, like, a pizza, it's like, okay, the song, you know what I'm saying? Then it's the image. And then you got the. You can say photos, and you can say media training, and you can say performance skills. You can say. Say stage presence. You could say. It's all of these things that's. That's all important. So anybody that's also in tune with those things, it kind of gives them the advantage because, you know what I mean? I wouldn't have to be telling them as much, but I'm still willing to teach. [01:14:22] Speaker B: There you go. Eric Bellinger. [01:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:14:29] Speaker B: So we know you got to get about it here, but I definitely get some pictures and we let you go. And then we're going to do some more. We got some giveaways for them after we let you get up out of here so you can get ready for your tour. Yeah, but we got to get some pictures real quick. [01:14:43] Speaker A: Most definitely, man.
