Speaker 6

What the fuck is it?

Speaker 7

It's country music meets trap music.

Speaker 1

I just breathed the gap.

Speaker 4

Trailer trap, okay, trailer trap, trailer trap, trailer trap music? And how did you come up with this trailer trap sound?

Speaker 1

Man?

Speaker 2

At first I was doing diffinal country music, and folks was in the studio saying, man, this ain't gonna work. You're gonna go to Nashville. They ain't gonna take it seriousse I was like, man, listen to Darius Rutger, he made it. They were like yeah, but he tricked everybody. He was in hooting the Blowfish, And I started just listening to more of the songs, and I was just like, you know what, I love country music, but I also

loved trap music. I came up on ke lo O a Lee and got thing on outcast the whole nine straight from Bankhead, and I wanted to implement some of those instrumentations until my sound. So I started putting eight o'w eights on it because I was doing eight o weights on everything else, gospel, pop records, everything.

Speaker 1

So that's how I came up saying mm hm.

Speaker 4

So so you you were coming up listening to the rap music, would you listening to country music too?

Speaker 2

Yeah? Definitely. During the summertimes, I would go to Butler's, Georgia, making Butler Butler.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I thought I heard of every part of Georgia. I ain't never heard of Butler.

Speaker 2

But what's the population of Butler?

Speaker 1

Heard of Butler? Man?

Speaker 7

I don't know.

Speaker 2

I mean it's like a little or like probably about one thousand and fifteen hundred people. Yeah, Taylor County, Taylor County, Robins Born and Vishton Thomaston Georgic Thomas.

Speaker 6

That's where they have niggas.

Speaker 7

Yeah, yeah, yeah right.

Speaker 1

Besides that, I heard that.

Speaker 3

Okay, the city yourself just doing a country trap music.

Speaker 1

You can see yourself a country nigga.

Speaker 7

Boy, I just can see that myself doing whatever.

Speaker 3

I feel like, you know what I'm saying, like you know, like you know, because I feel like I'm a country come from the city. I feel like heavy speak is different, like do you can see yourself in a country like South?

Speaker 1

Like you get what I'm saying.

Speaker 2

Yeall freight country man, I'm I'm hood. Make sure the little country.

Speaker 1

I feel like my don't that ship?

Speaker 5

I think I feel like real ship country nigga. When you say a nigga is a country nigga like it and by these more than like just their speech and.

Speaker 6

Like the way they think and ship like that.

Speaker 5

Like when I think of a country nigga, I think of a nigga with some big ass clothes.

Speaker 1

Like my country boy, my country boy coming about.

Speaker 5

Country okay, you know how Like for instance, just like in our city, some like city niggas, Atlanta niggas feel like the cater. Niggas are country, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1

What I'm saying.

Speaker 5

Yeah, but when you think of a country nigga, like you think of a nigga that doesn't fit in the norm. Like if a nigga walked in here with like some big ass clothes on and some some of those little diamond square ear rings, that nigga's country as fun, that's country.

Speaker 2

Yeah. I think people look at it two different ways, but I'm definitely country all day.

Speaker 1

Yes.

Speaker 4

Is it a difference between being country and being like southern. I feel like there's a difference between being southern.

Speaker 7

I think Southern is more uh gentleman.

Speaker 1

Okay, I can go for that. Yeah, yeah, southern.

Speaker 2

So we all have sudden traits that were raised by the right type of people.

Speaker 1

Well, what's some of the traits of being country?

Speaker 2

It ain't no distruction. I love being country. I won't change from that.

Speaker 6

Yeah, Like you walking around outside with your shoes off and ship.

Speaker 4

Being country or is that a stereotype like you don't care about having But is that a real Is that a real trait of being country or is that just a stereotype?

Speaker 6

Like you sit on the porch and like.

Speaker 1

Picking type of country people. You can have a full suit on to be country.

Speaker 5

It's the way you do things that make at that moment you are not country. But when you take that suit off and you pick your toes on the porch and walk around with no shoes, then you go back to being country.

Speaker 4

That sounds like a generalization, I feel you, though.

Speaker 6

Now I'm just saying like based upon like.

Speaker 5

Just stuff that we've seen, you know what I'm saying, especially like on TV and ship like that, they depict those people's country like people for sure, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4

All that kind of shit, leave it to Bee Bird, all that type of stuff. But but what I'm saying, like hood a hood nigga, right, hood niggn have on a whole suit and be distinct, but he's still a.

Speaker 1

Hood nigga at a core.

Speaker 4

So country I'm saying hood or I'm using an example, you can be country if he goes to the Grammys and he's at the Grammys and he got that ship on, right he at the core, he's still a country nigga. You think about them chitlings or whatever, just who you are. It's just who you are.

Speaker 1

That's how.

Speaker 6

But if you're not like that, I feel like this.

Speaker 5

If you're not like that all of the time and you know how to turn it on and turn it off, I don't really consider.

Speaker 6

You a country nigga.

Speaker 1

No.

Speaker 2

But even if you hood and you going to a business meeting and you got to put on a different persona, you still hood.

Speaker 1

Still hood.

Speaker 5

I just feel I feel like we can't compare hood and country because it's two totally different things.

Speaker 2

Differently, it's the same. I'm straight hood, I'm about everything. You understand me, But I still have my country essences. I've noodled, y'all know what noodland is. Why I got tricked and putting my hand into some water with a bait, and the catfish came up and grabbed my arm.

Speaker 1

That's called noodle.

Speaker 2

But it can get dangerous because sometimes it's a snapping turd that come up. Sometimes it might be a little baby gating.

Speaker 6

Why the hell would you do that?

Speaker 1

Man?

Speaker 2

Listen, as a kid in the country, I got dared to put my arm in the god dang gone swamp some country.

Speaker 1

Now that's country. Yeah, that's country. That's country.

Speaker 7

I'm talking about. With crawfishing, the whole nine.

Speaker 1

But why do they use the word like, what's the difference.

Speaker 4

You're you're hear the phrase she got a big old country booty. What's the difference between the country booty and the big booty? Why they say country?

Speaker 1

Different? Different country?

Speaker 5

What's like a country ass is meaty, like a big but it's like to be like a big, wide flat ass like just to be but it's going to be like big and meaty and full and voluptuous.

Speaker 1

Okay, that's a country booty a country.

Speaker 2

But come in the room after you.

Speaker 1

You can't.

Speaker 7

And you in two different area calls at the same time.

Speaker 1

Got ye, that's but got yeah clarity on what country is? Right?

Speaker 2

You be talking about guard up here and you be still in the hood back then.

Speaker 1

How many people?

Speaker 2

How many people? How many people try to deny you what you were trying to do?

Speaker 1

Man? Something everybody.

Speaker 2

But the funny thing is a lot of people always ask me, is it like white people that don't accept it? It was the black people that telling me I couldn't do it at the beginning, So I didn't really see apparallel between the two. I just knew what I love to do, so I kept on doing what I love to do. Couldn't nobody tell me how to do it, how not to do it. It was whatever I wanted to do.

Speaker 8

But let me ask you this because we've had this discussion before on a previous episode about like how some comedians kind of dumbed down their gift and their ability to be able to be funny and like do the skits and shit because their homeboys might not think that it's the.

Speaker 6

Right thing to do to make them look cool.

Speaker 5

Have you ever come up against that and how do you, I guess, battle with that without battling within yourself about what you know you're here to do.

Speaker 7

See, that's for humble people.

Speaker 2

I'm not humble, okay, Yeah, Humble means to lessen yourself to make everybody else around you fit adequate, right exactly. That's not in my DNA and my character exactly. Interesting me. I'm a I'm modest, So I'm gonna do whatever I want to do and keep it one hundred with myself because if I feel if I'm successful, it's all gonna come back to me. Everybody around you start asking for

things whether you I mean as soon as you make it. So, I mean, you got to know how to live in the space where you are actually being useful and not useless. So that's what I live in. And and humble ism is at the back of the dictionary for me.

Speaker 4

Okay, that's all somewhere that you is it? You want to fly planes or you do flyplanes.

Speaker 7

Oh, I'm learning how to fly helicopters right now.

Speaker 1

So you've actually been up there and.

Speaker 2

I ain't took off nowhere. I probably wouldn't be here, but I'm learning how to fly right now.

Speaker 1

Okay, yeah, so.

Speaker 2

I'm learning the mechanics of them now. I actually have a pilot teacher that actually do like when people you know, I forgot the name of it. But if it's a rest to the hospital, we need to get you that a shop. He does that every day and then he's teaching me on his off time.

Speaker 1

Why that?

Speaker 4

I'm just curious, like, why why particularly that? Because you can pick up any oby.

Speaker 2

I plan on buying one, and whenever I buy stuff, I got to know the mechanics of how to do it and what not to do with it. Anything I ever invested in I have learned from.

Speaker 6

You wouldn't buy a Windys and you don't know how to flip a burn.

Speaker 1

They're all trying to tell you.

Speaker 2

I wouldn't buy a diamond if I don't know how to look at the fastest in it.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I got the microscopes and everything to a hundred god thing on time spectrum, and I got the loot everything. I just know how to do everything. If I'm a buying, I'm investing and you can't tell me what I'm buying. And I'm gonna take your word for on. Trust that well, I gotta go ship it for myself. Proof of the pudding that grandma you say, yeah, yeah, respect.

Speaker 1

What about you? You had a bad accident? Was it? Was it motorcycle?

Speaker 2

Yep uh, shout out the Indian motorcycle. They showed humber Love. I was on my FTR twelve hundred Fabron Road right here in Georgia, leaving the Monica and Brandy Versus Versus viewing with some friends, bent to Coney in second gear. Got hit by a drunk dropper head.

Speaker 6

On damn on a motorcycle.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I was doing by twenty five second gear and I went through the windshield, landed on the bed of the truck, bled out, died and routed to the hospital. I got two new arms new legs and a brand new pelvis. They didn't know if I were going to walk again nine months later.

Speaker 1

Down yeah, you say you?

Speaker 5

You bled out and died on the back of the truck yep in route to the hospital.

Speaker 2

As soon as I got to Grady, our flatland resuscitated the drunk driver. I was telling him why he was looking and I'm like, man, why would you be in my lane? Why would you why would you do that? And he was just looking crazy, dumbfounded face. And then I had to tell him how to take my Bell helmet off because Bell had just sent me a carbon fiber helmet, told me to try it out.

Speaker 1

It worked.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, but man, it's a funny part. When I saw the ParaMed is a ride and it said Grady, I said, I might be all right because I just know about the trauma department.

Speaker 6

And Grady got a number one trauma department in the nation.

Speaker 2

Right, man, they number one. When I got on the back of that ammulance, I would god damned pleading the blood of Jesus. The whole time they were. Grandma used to teach me to do no matter what happened. You know what I'm saying, You're scared of something. You don't know how you're gonna go into it. Real response, plead the blood of Jesus. And I asked a ParaMed I said, if I can make a call, man, if you don't think I'm gonna make it, let me make a call.

Speaker 1

And I just wanted to, you know, make that one call.

Speaker 2

But I blanked out, woke up, and before you know it, I was in.

Speaker 1

A white room. God dang it.

Speaker 2

I went through my first like breaking sober. They couldn't get me, like no anesthesia or anything. I ain't have enough blood. I had twelve blood transfusions, twenty four hours of surgery. She broke my wrists back while looking at me and talking to me. She broke my leg back in place, and I had compound fractice. The bone went both ways out of the leg. This kneecap split halfway up, halfway down, so I got a fake kneecap. Melt her

through my arms. Pelvish reconstructed ring wire as a whole night and I went through that while I was looking at the lady saying I'm sorry, but I gotta do this, and she was breaking them. It felt like a fake movie. I was in a yellow.

Speaker 6

So so they did all of that and you were awake.

Speaker 2

I was sober, awake. No anesthesia, no payment. This isn't on nothing. They couldn't give me anything like were.

Speaker 6

You in a shock or something like? And that's why how did you felt it?

Speaker 2

I wasn't in no shock.

Speaker 7

People who I don't.

Speaker 2

I don't know how God built me, but I might be built a little different, to tell you the truth. When I hit the god dang go truck at the center line, he was trying to get back into his lane. I was trying to dodge him because he was head onto my lane. When I went through, I landed. I blinked for a split second. I remember my helmet hind the glass and then flipping through the air and landing.

Speaker 1

On the metal toolbox, and God dang it.

Speaker 2

I talked to the people and saved my own life with the grace of God because the helmet was choking me.

Speaker 7

The strap had and tightened up because it pulled my face mask.

Speaker 2

I got pictures I can show y'all, but the face masks was still in the windshield and I was on the bed of the truck, and yeah, man, I talked him through how to take my helm in Off and everything. I never went into shock.

Speaker 1

Two questions like, for one, have you gotten back on the bike?

Speaker 7

Yeah, it didn't.

Speaker 2

Sent me another one ft R twelve hundred carbon fiber limited edition bike, and I used that one for my first video that I shot after my wreck.

Speaker 1

So you got back on the bike. Just that's correct. I salute you, and.

Speaker 2

I didn't do nothing to me. You're right, but I never put on the road again.

Speaker 1

Got you, That's what I'm saying. I ride it on my land, got you? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I didn't shift you though, like oh your mindset, man.

Speaker 2

I always had purpose over everything. I never do anything that don't have a meaning. If Blanco name is attached to it, that's something that solidifies why I'm there. If it ain't, nothing solidified like me here today, Like I rock with you, I wrote with what I've seen you doing. I've been rocking with Hudson back in the day when she was taking the money.

Speaker 1

To do at the club.

Speaker 7

Though you understand me, she don't even remember club trackle the whole night.

Speaker 1

What's up?

Speaker 2

Yeah, So like you two screen like god, dang it, I rock with y'all. And I heard about the interview. I said I'm gonna show up cut they actually the ear to the streets, you understand me.

Speaker 1

I gotta be that.

Speaker 2

And I come from the West side of Atlanta, Gelgia. So everything I do is intentional. Yeah, That's how I moved through life.

Speaker 1

Gotta respect that, Gotta respect that. So so so so so.

Speaker 4

What else like in your your day to day, Like you want to fly a plane on some country stuff. You learn that you do country things. What else you're into that we might not know?

Speaker 2

Man? Classic cars?

Speaker 1

Classic cars? Okay, what some of your favorites.

Speaker 2

I gotta I just got an eighty seven g n X all original paint, low mileage. I'm talking about like no repaint or nothing. That'm a child. You know anybody who know cars? That's like Grand National Roys. They only made five hundred and forty seven. They're originally gonna do five hundred, but they did an additional forty seven more. I got a sixty seven gt O damn che. I got a sixty five gold Hurst gt O uh eighty four Hurst Cutlass T top.

Speaker 7

I got a sixty seven Travel seventy nine.

Speaker 2

That's a three twenty hard talk, but that's a three twenty seven that had the same amount of powers three ninety six, but they couldn't market it as the same car because it would have made three ninety six less attractive. Mine's called the sleeper, which is rare.

Speaker 1

They said else when I got big.

Speaker 4

This is how I read what you're saying. I know some of them cars, some of them do, some of them don't. But I'm reading that this country music money must be different. That's how because I'm adding up, like, oh, that's more than ratless.

Speaker 5

Hu man original, Yeah, structure.

Speaker 1

It ain't cheat.

Speaker 2

She got title bill, she protect those plates, the whole nine, extensive research.

Speaker 1

On the car, but she skipped over the country music.

Speaker 5

No.

Speaker 2

I mean I think country music and all the music the same. The difference between that is, I own my masters, I own everything.

Speaker 1

Who at your shoulders?

Speaker 2

Though mostly women, I got black and white folk. When you look in my statistics, it's sixty forty more women than men. But guess what women bring out the men. So I would rather have the heart of the women before anything, because the men gonna follow them. And then if you got the heart of the kids, you're gonna have the household. So I have the household also because I have young kids that are inspired by my story

and how I went into everything. I keep this quote in the back of my head and in the front of my mind. It's about my story and not the glor and I suppress that through all of my essence purpose of everything. So yeah, man, the country money is the same as any money. I think it's based on the business you do. And I'm a I'm a big investor. Me and my partner heart Bottom. We got we got we got some avenues and things we didn't invested in. We got some land, I mean, some of everything, anything

that's huge that's going on. He always hits me up and say, hey, this is another opportunity. So you know we locked in.

Speaker 6

Let me ask you this, do you do rodeos?

Speaker 2

I've never been to one, but I just got invited to one right here in Gelgia and I may Gelgia, that country, Gelgia A man. Yeah, so I'll be going to one this year.

Speaker 6

Where's that I want to go?

Speaker 2

Uh, I'm gonna find out all the details, but I think it's like Peace City or something.

Speaker 1

They're going riding and all that.

Speaker 2

They do trail round about you talk about something everything here that I never knew about until people taught telling me about these things rodeos.

Speaker 7

We know agree, We look around, we see trees. We never out of trees. So now that's natural yourself, You're right.

Speaker 1

Anything they put they make it. It's just too much of this ship.

Speaker 2

Then they introduce plant based veganism, but then they implement it soy and just about everything, which is also a killer. Right, So they figure out a way to make junk out of everything and push off this so yes, sir, sir, that we glue. Like you said, figure out that jackfruit the best.

Speaker 2

Good to you.

Speaker 3

See what I did at first to go be and I treat myself by just eating all the junk food ship. You know what I'm saying. Oh yeah, then that's how you keep your taste. But the exact same as the bullshit. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2

Then when you start cooking and your palates chain, you definitely eat any of this ship mhmm, I'm talking about you won't even miss.

Speaker 5

But I did have one time some oyster mushrooms that tasted like chicken.

Speaker 2

Speaker 2

With the help the sandwich man, they pump them to like if you saw how they preserve these chickens. They put them in this little thing and they pump them with this fluid and they broke up the muscles and make it plush enough to eat and get a.

Speaker 1

Juice piece of chicken. Mhmm.

Speaker 2

Chemicals and meat. Yeah, it's pretty discussion. I don't think too hard about it. You know, what he just said is what you consume, it becomes you. That's the truth.

Speaker 3

Because at the end of the day, like I always go back to that meat and ship is stretched out you.

Speaker 1

They're being handled. While they're alive. You don't live the whole stressful life.

Speaker 2

But still when you get ready to kill it, it's still gonna be stressed because I know I'm gonna die.

Speaker 4

No, they got they got something. I'm just this is just they got something call hallaw meat. You know that's in the Muslim community where they basically there's a process to period. How they sounds crazy, but slaughtered okay, But when they put to sleep, they put to sleep, they are I'm not nothing to be funny.

Speaker 1

They kind of like put the sleep and the slaughter rather than how many niggas doing that.

Speaker 4

I'm saying that happens in parts of the world. Chicken, the chicken farm they just snapped your neck.

Speaker 2

Ain't no meat better than the next m like it?

Speaker 1

Ain't? I mean your farm raised is better than what y'all like.

Speaker 7

No, no, because I still eat fish.

Speaker 1

So I'm trying to tell you, and it's stuff going on with the fish to know it.

Speaker 7

People eat. I don't even under start naming restaurants.

Speaker 2

You can find out all the things that's wrong with it and people still gonna consume it. We live in the world where we can't even discipline our own minds to stay away from our own poisons.

Speaker 1

Thank you, that's true.

Speaker 2

So sh you know, yeah, even even you bitch, you know you this bitch, ain't you can't even shake it.

Speaker 1

Mindset is what you consume.

Speaker 2

Yes, I think if you consume by your mind the consumption and you're still going through that process, we already know that stress is like want to buy number one? Kill us in high blood pressures, but we're still in salt and thinking too hard?

Speaker 4

Is that because everybody got a vice? But everybody everybody right, Yeah, everybody sitting in this room has advice.

Speaker 2

Yep. Mine is music. If I didn't have an outlet through song, I'll be going reason m that's the blessing with it all. I could wake up full of stress and write about it and get it through, and then if I make some money off of my messed up thoughts, I feel a little bit better because we think about it for free.

Speaker 7

It lives in our mind rent free.

Speaker 2

You gotta figure out how you can build more valuable land on your real estate.

Speaker 7

Your mind is your real estate.

Speaker 2

Tie down the thought of projects in your mindset and bill matchings with solar panels.

Speaker 1

Speaker 7

Speaker 1

But but the world is just in the crazy place.

Speaker 4

Because I'm gonna be honest, like they're doing some messed up stuff to the fruits and vegetables and all that too. You know they are they shooting them up to it's more than apple, this big and all that. Yeah, bro, I say I have some apple them up never ritten, you see what I'm saying. Like the motherfuers gonna never get small.

Speaker 7

Speaker 1

Define perfect. Remember soft apples back in the day, back in the day. Yeah, two days of eating. Yeah, get an.

Speaker 2

Speaker 5

They still got from Donalds from like nineteen eighty that never did nothing.

Speaker 7

I'm talking about the McDonald apple spit, the cotting off.

Speaker 1

What it get off? New? I tell you, let free man.

Speaker 7

He won't even pick up the trash around.

Speaker 4

Man.

Speaker 1

It's just spooky, bro. What to do. It's a different world. Take it one day at a time, dude.

Speaker 3

They say you can't even grow your own ship. To cut the ship the ground fund.

Speaker 2

That when the rain good land come in handy. God ain't making no more earth.

Speaker 1

Mm hmm, God ain't making no more earth. That's a quote. Damn, that's real.

Speaker 4

But see that going back to it, this is when everybody want It might be a day where everybody be begging to be country too.

Speaker 1

You see what I'm saying. Had that farmland and had that soil? I had them.

Speaker 4

Well we say Cole's the horses. But you see what I'm saying, like it might be a day when we begging to be country.

Speaker 7

Man, Listen, we are country. Let's get into some of that.

Speaker 2

Like when you think about it, country derived from the blues.

Speaker 1

The banjo came from Africa.

Speaker 2

The good tar was constructed and made by black man, yes, sir, in the eighteen hundreds. It's all the way down to Jimmy Robert Robert Rogers, white country artist. I just obtained like a collection of four thousand vinyls and I came across this song called the Yodel Song by Jimmy Rogers. I heard the trumpet in there, and I'm a huge fan of this one guy that plays a trumpet. And I looked at the credits. I couldn't find them nowhere. Come to find out, Louis Armstrong played on that song.

They didn't give him credit.

Speaker 1

It's cold.

Speaker 2

Then they remastered it in like the nineties, instilled in get on credit. But you can go find out that Louis Armstrong carried that song.

Speaker 8

Why is the state never made a big deal about it.

Speaker 2

They probably was owned by the people that own like this found I don't know, like you can't. It's a hard fight and a hard battle, but it takes these type of platforms to talk about these things to get them out there.

Speaker 7

It's a lot of history that is uncolded.

Speaker 2

I mean, we get down into the Bible, honestly, but I ain't gonna go that deep. But they were rewritten so many times. It was originally written in Hebrew.

Speaker 1

Do you know how to Rehebrew? Me?

Speaker 2

Neither. So with that being said, we wouldn't know what to translate, even if we knew how to translate. And then they left things out of that to make women less powerful.

Speaker 6

And that's how that tricked us during slavery.

Speaker 2

What you mean, make one of this pluff in the Bible? You know, it's still mean like not to be too biblical, but when you when you get down to the essence of women in the Bible, it seemed as if they wouldn't that appreciated.

Speaker 7

Even in the Bible, but that ain't the truth. That ain't the truth for them.

Speaker 2

It's just uh, it's a it's a man made strength that has been built upon us. And they left translation of powerful women out of the Bible.

Speaker 1

Mm hmm.

Speaker 2

Name a chapter that's written by way of a woman.

Speaker 1

Profit.

Speaker 2

We couldn't be the only one that had powers because we can buy the most powerful thing and that's women.

Speaker 1

Hm hmm. Judch Wanco on big facts. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4

What's some of your favorite country artists?

Speaker 2

Man? I had the honor of debuting my uh my grand ol Opry debut with Charlie the Pride, Okay, legendary. He's one of my favorites. And then I get into like Tim McGrath growing up to listen to him don't take the Girl. I used to hear that on the way to the country and laugh, like, man, he talking something.

Speaker 1

Uh.

Speaker 2

My list goes on. I got so many country artists that I love to listen to. Jail Road is my label mate. I would listening to Jailer Roll before the world knew who Jailer Road was for a minute. Laney Wilson also one of my label makes man that it's just so many different dope country artists, Willie Jones, Rashad God Dang, Gonne Britney Spencer, Raina Roberts. Yeah, Tony god Dang,

you got breathing. Let's get back into the roots. Before people even accepted the crossovers, the Nellies outcasts like roll the Parking off with the harmonic and stuff. Come on, man, I mean we see how the world is formatted. Though, when you think about it, they let this sink in under three thousand, huge fan. He put out an instrumental body of work, playing wood instruments and stuff.

Speaker 7

But they categorize it as rap.

Speaker 1

How because he's a rapper. Well, he was discovered as a rapper.

Speaker 2

But when he plays that type of e collected, abstract type of music, how do you categorize it?

Speaker 1

Yes, what they.

Speaker 2

Supposed to supposed to they posed to classify the music as what the music is?

Speaker 1

Is he collected?

Speaker 2

Is he is?

Speaker 6

It really is all classical?

Speaker 2

It could be classical. Yeah, it's supposed to live in more than one space. Because he didn't say one lyric on it.

Speaker 5

Wrap marginalized him because of his previous actions and his previous character who he was basically as a rapper.

Speaker 7

Damn Yep, Morgan Walling Caul do a record with a Little Dirt.

Speaker 1

But he's still with.

Speaker 2

A country country artists. Little Dirt did a rap record with him, but he's still still Like, music gotta start being able to live outside of the boxes because the boxes ain't big enough. You only put things in boxes when you're throwing them away, you're burying them.

Speaker 7

And music is too big for that.

Speaker 4

You what about the about the the song the Hole in the Wall, and what's that song?

Speaker 1

I gotta have one that blues?

Speaker 7

He got like Southern blues throughout the whole nine.

Speaker 2

Like music honestly can't live in one journal, but it's almost it's almost built like the Bible. They section off everything so that you can control. I have a meter for everything because things that get cluttered. But I feel like once you cross that bridge, you should be categorized for whatever that sound is.

Speaker 4

I think it created a lack of unity too. You know how big it was when like running and see finally did that record where like what was it Aerosmith and all that? Like when people come together amongst different genres, that's unity, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, man, I was on the hot country charts. I mean I made history going into Nashville. The only artist in history to ever debuted the song, debuted the song and go double Disgit. I went twelve weeks at number one. It's never been done in the country music history.

Speaker 1

Period.

Speaker 2

And if I decide I wanted to go and do an R and B album, then they gonna have to categorize it as R and B.

Speaker 1

What I wonder what they're gonna do. But beyond stuff because she making country.

Speaker 7

Now, she already went number one on the country charts.

Speaker 1

Okay, so they.

Speaker 6

Get it for her, but they do it for nobody else.

Speaker 2

Because that's gatekeepers in Nashville. But when it's consumed by the consumers outside of that, you can't put it in the box. They're gonna live in the space that it's gonna live in. So that's that's why I say music is like a playlist. Now you can play everything you want to, but know who you are in that day or whatever emotion you want to evoke. And pretty much sound creates the vibrations in this earth. Without a soundtrack,

life will suck for all of us. If you can't get in your car and ride and listen to something. So music is getting back to the consumers actually telling you where they want to hear it at and radio is still controlled by gatekeepers, but streaming made it a way where you can go, put out a song right now, and all of a sudden you're celebrity.

Speaker 7

Social media did the same thing. You can live emphasize you want.

Speaker 2

I know so many broke folk on social media that look like they're winning, and you would think they were winning because they get so many views, so many cliques. But then they go and they stay right off of West End in a twelve hundred dollars apartment with not a lot going on. You know what I'm saying. This world, you can build anything you want and you can look anywhere you want to, according to social media tour row.

I mean, I just seen people rent cars and look like something for a day just to win when they do it. Awful, wet, women.

Speaker 1

Anything else? Big? Why the women doing it?

Speaker 2

The women do it, I think, And I can't speak for women, see I speak for me and a lot because I'm a man.

Speaker 7

That's what I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2

A lot of women do things to attract men that are successful m and successful men usually find a woman that is open to or already living in a lifestyle that that man don't necessarily have to provide, but he can be a.

Speaker 1

Part of it. Mm hmm.

Speaker 2

So a lot.

Speaker 1

Upgraded, but a lot of it ain't. No, it ain't know me. We can upgrade it. It's marketing, but it ain't on me.

Speaker 2

So yeah, so they're showing you exactly the type of lifestyle they want to live. I have to disagree, but I like that I disagreement so I can learn something.

Speaker 5

Because a lot of and I'm just speaking from experience and like things that I've seen or whatever, but a lot of successful men are intimidated by women that are

as successful as they are. So even though like they say, they don't want to do this, they don't want to do that, whatever, whatever, they would prefer to have a woman that is, I don't want to say, beneath them, but a woman that is not on their same level or not on an even playing field, so that they can always have the upper hand in the relationship and the situation.

Speaker 2

I think that would America want you to believe, because if you look at jay Z and Beyonce and people that are actually successful together, they're more powerful than anybody.

Speaker 6

For sure. But that's like one in a million.

Speaker 2

That ain't one in a million, that's a million and a million. But there's that one that's looking in through that one er little you know, spectrum and feel like this is what we should sell or how we should sell it. But as being a successful man, I tell you I prefer a successful woman. Do you prefer somebody who asks you for everything?

Speaker 1

No?

Speaker 7

Successful successful woman who are real men?

Speaker 2

See I'm saying I'm not.

Speaker 5

Saying I'm not saying a bum bitch that's fenna that has nothing going on and that's gonna ask you for everything. I'm talking about somebody that is a separate two behind so that you can a lot of men will not let me not.

Speaker 6

Say a lot of men men.

Speaker 5

There are men out there that would prefer that is a separate two behind so that they can remain in control and always feel like the man in the situation.

Speaker 6

Because a lot of.

Speaker 5

Times when you're dealing with a woman that is as successful.

Speaker 2

Or who doubt in himself, a man who know he a man, ain't thinking about I think that. I think, yeah, that I had ten thousand, you had to me a real man you're still a woman.

Speaker 1

I'm a man. That's just how I look at it. So that's how Nigga would look at it.

Speaker 5

But I feel like, no, I get what you're saying, and I totally agree with you. That's what I'm saying is there's gonna be some point in time, if this is a lengthy situation or lengthy relationship, throughout the duration of that relationship where that imbalance is gonna cause some time.

Speaker 2

If she if she wants to be the man, that's what's gonna call the imbalance.

Speaker 1

When she starts acting like boy are you boy? She started acting like that, then she is definitely gonna come of a real man, of a real woman exactly.

Speaker 2

Then you will never have those discrepancies in this real you're gonna have?

Speaker 5

You is that the woman has to have more feminine than masculine energy.

Speaker 3

Yeah, the only she's a woman.

Speaker 1

Woman, She's gonna be a woman in any situation, no matter what she got, She's gonna be a woman, any of them.

Speaker 6

But even being a woman, she got a man.

Speaker 5

But even like even in that situation, even being a woman's woman, sometimes when a woman's woman has a voice in certain situations and certain opinions about certain things. It comes off, even to a manly man as okay, like a little bit too much.

Speaker 2

No, yeah, I give what you said. Listen, we got so many, so many males does not pretending to be men that they don't even know how to allow woman to be a woman. Exactly in order to be that man, women had to kick up to kick up, because women are gilts it for being humble. It comes with you'all character flow. Y'all are used to sitting in the back

and allowing things to happen. When you get out of that humble state of mind and you become modest and own who you are and you come across a real man, you're gonna find balance in a household.

Speaker 6

But when you own who you are, even whether a real man or not.

Speaker 5

But when you own who you are, oftentimes that is seen as being aggressive.

Speaker 2

No, no, no, because it don't matter what nobody in the room think.

Speaker 7

When you were the real man, he gonna appreciate you.

Speaker 3

But when you own who you are and you know how to communicate certain shit that don't sound disrespectful, like when you're a woman, you know how to communicate with a man, that's all I'm saying, a little girl or or what else? Another woman that feels like she don't really look at you as a man, if she come at you all, if you like I just had a conversation.

Speaker 2

Listen, I just had a conversation with a woman that I know her nigga, Let let her try.

Speaker 3

Him how he's gonna because she feels that that's how you talk to me, Like you can't talk to me, how you talk to your man or I'm just doing You know what I'm saying, You can't talk to me how you talk to your man because some men.

Speaker 1

Are not like that.

Speaker 2

You know what I'm saying. Do you you get what I'm saying? Like you got some women that come in the room, not all You got a lot of women. You got some women that come in the room and feel like they can him do me and all me in the same way you can't because they used to being treated away and being able to do exactly what they want to do and.

Speaker 6

What they saw when they were growing up and what.

Speaker 2

They when you find a real man that's no competition in the room. You're gonna be a woman and I'm gonna be a man, and we're gonna compliment each other.

Speaker 7

You're gonna express you know.

Speaker 6

How to be a woman and you don't know how to be a woman. You got to understand.

Speaker 1

You. I don't think, yeah, you're right what you're finished say?

Speaker 3

I done seen women who wasn't real women meet the right nigga and turn into a woman.

Speaker 1

That's what it is.

Speaker 3

It don't really be no process, because some it'd be something when you get around this nigga that show you I'm a woman.

Speaker 1

I ain't no nigga.

Speaker 3

I've been dealing with all these niggas who made me feel like I had to step up and be a nigga. Now around this nigga, I see this how a man make you feel like you could be a woman.

Speaker 2

Yes, the difference, that's even, that's even like finding love finally, hold on, don't get stuck.

Speaker 5

And like but when but but speaking specifically on that type of woman that you're talking about. After you've been the nigga with the pants in a relationship for so long, I get what you're saying.

Speaker 1

That'sship there with sisters and brothers.

Speaker 2

You can go somewhere with me and feel like, Okay, I'm a girl because I'm with black.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I'm straight.

Speaker 3

I know I'm debo J. When I'm by myself, I'm with bro. This what it is, ain't I ain't gonna be a move. First, if you even get what I'm saying, you turn into a girl.

Speaker 6

Yeah no, but I've been with you for twenty years.

Speaker 1

But what I'm telling you is that's what.

Speaker 3

It's the same thing though when you first went out with me, the first couple of times, whenever we went out together, you knew this is a different move, Like these folks is making sure together.

Speaker 1

It's a real man.

Speaker 7

When it's a real man's room, you want to be.

Speaker 1

A Woman's the truth. That's what you're saying.

Speaker 2

That's what as a real man in the room, you want to be a woman.

Speaker 5

But I feel like when when when there's an intimate side involved in the relationship, it changes the whole dynamic of that.

Speaker 2

I feel like when.

Speaker 6

Y'all are it's it's it's it's like it's two different things.

Speaker 3

Like, Okay, if you ain't really having a business, if he's a man and he having a business, that you didn't want to be a dude, you know that's what.

Speaker 6

No, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5

Like, it's like because I know, bru, I know people like I know women, female people that have had to be like like all their lives and ship and dealt with niggas, slap their niggas around, got in tool with niggas, fight niggas all.

Speaker 6

Their life, like like fucking Harpo, then Celi and ship. But it was like when.

Speaker 5

They met that nigga, It it didn't happen overnight. It like it eventually like shipped away of the ship like in big chunks.

Speaker 6

But it's like that ship, you gotta unlearned.

Speaker 3

But she showed some type of behavior that she was willing to. Yes, she showed that from initial nigga like this ain't no brickhead, But.

Speaker 5

It takes a certain to to to fucking calm that down.

Speaker 7

Like yeah, and a woman.

Speaker 2

The sad thing is a lot of the women had to go through so many men before they find the real Yeah, that's so, I mean by trying to get.

Speaker 7

To the real one, man, they they don't ne even know how to.

Speaker 6

They're tired. They're just tired.

Speaker 1

You said, they don't even know how they God damn.

Speaker 6

Yeah, Yeah, they gotta get reprogrammed. They gotta get reprogrammed.

Sixty two TERRORBYCS Little. That's learn.

Speaker 6

Go watch the Blues Brothers. You'll get a better idea.

Speaker 1

Yep. Yeah, why heartache can lemonade from the title of your project.

Speaker 7

Man, Because I've been through so much heartache I had to turn into.

Speaker 6

Some sweet to make lemonade out those limits.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but I got a.

Speaker 2

Line where I say, Sean nay to live. You can't always be first, but you can make a cold and you're gonna fall back my my own bendings. When life give you lemon makes orange, you squit it like I may orange you that of lemonade out of lemons, you do that?

Speaker 1

Listen.

Speaker 2

I just changed the food or be handing over it. Make magic out of anything, and that's that's what life is about. But I went through the heartache, I went through the depression after the accident. They't know if I was gonna walk again. And how do you get stay in a mind frame like that when you got a song to make everybody smile and get up.

Speaker 2

Here shoot more investments, really state stuff, got some laying here and there. Now I don't got no hogs. But it's funny you brought it up because I thought about something early, and I'm gonna just rerunning fast forward, like even down to the pick the pigs. You know, when they do boar hunting, you got to catch the pig off guard. Because you scare a pig and you kill it, the meat ain't no good. Did y'all know that?

Speaker 1

Um hm, if you scared it, a lot of that.

Speaker 2

If you eating a lot of that scared pig, I'm telling you putting that ship back after they know that. Look, man, what happens in the pig body is the muscles and everything can track. It makes the meat tougher, almost to being uneedable. But companies are softening the meat out and running through processes. But real boar hunting you have to catch the pig off of guard and shoot it precisely so that the meat don't tense up before the dreaming kick in.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that made sense. For the pig sweat, that made sense.

Speaker 2

That's why they got pigskin. It's a closer thing to human skin. You can get a graph by pigskin. You can make a football out of pigskin. I mean, like it's so many things that you just shouldn't be in. Man, I don't know.

Speaker 1

Eating that tensed up and meat ship up. You know they ain't catching them all gout. They just going out of This is a fact.

Speaker 2

Now you got to kill him for the dreaming kick in or you're gonna basically in tests mad meat.

Speaker 1

That's why they called him mad cow. Why people are so crazy mad eating too much of that bullship. Brother, you can't do nothing but go get a switch mad, I tell you, yeah, mad, mad music, mad food. Everything.
