Conversations about Social Media

institution to reflect on life of personal reasons. It sounds like Chuck Norris isms, almost like the Chuck norriscisms of hip hop, Unique New York, Unique New York. A B C C B A. I say, how often do you do stand ups? Man? I haven't done a stand up in years? Why not? Why don't you do standard ups? I hate doing it and I don't like any of my writing. I don't like any of my ship. So I used to like my stuff, and I had an old old It wasn't old at the time, but I

mean now looking back, it's old relative to now. I used to like. I keep most of my stuff saved in digital form because I like how I say it at a certain time, or I can. It makes more sense to me to have some pop in my head and either do a video or an audio file so that when I hear it, I know what I was thinking when it came into my mind the first time. So that's when I had all my ship on this LG phone and I've never broken the phone or lost a phone in my life, and that phone, I didn't

lose it or break it. But the the what do you call the hard drive crashed in and of itself, like independently, so I lost all my material and then just coming up with materials since then, I just didn't like it. Like for a minute, I wasn't trying to be funny, and then well I was like, all r, I'm gon tryd of juice material again. Nothing that I do seems funny to me. And then it's like, well this is stupid and I just don't like going to the club. So I have to really want to for

me to do it. Do it. The typical path for that industry is you go to the comedy store and you dick around and hang out and chit chat and suck dick and kiss ass or whatever the hell those people call it. I don't want to do that, so I have to just come up with a comp with ship, bounce around a few clubs, open mics. Is my is this segment well received? Is that segment, that sement, that sement, that segment gloom all together? Rent out a place, packing

it with people, tell them coming for free. I'm spending ten thousand of my own money production film all the all the ship laugh. You're supposed to laugh? You heck, are we gonna pull you out and beat your ass in the fucking alley. I won't give a funk. I spent too much money on this ship, and I'm gonna put that put out a special from scratch like that, like on some real independent type ship. Do you think

that old school way still is the way? Like as far as the end that we have social media, you don't see like all the con all the comedians starting to use social media to their advantage, like so they don't have to go from club to club. There's some newer comedians that got hot on social media. I they're younger people than I am, and I'm not like my brain. I grew up. I learned what funny is from comedy specials,

so like that's how my brain works. These other people learned what funny was from memes so they can make a little thirty second videos on ship and it's funny and it's cute and blah blah blah blah. But whatever, I don't have thirty seconds for nobody. Yeah, you know, like, well, first off, no seilings, g L my man Pete in the spot as usual. Um but by that same standard, you could do like a live, right, you do like a live and then have people come into your life

and tell the same jokes as practice. Yeah, that's a good way to go. But I guess you people to get on my ship, Like if I were to go live, I might get one person. Well that's again, we just got to start going live together on Instagram or get you in with Scholtzi a couple of the homies and make it make sense. But you have to use social media. So I'm on a version putting out Imperial. It's a project with me and ep Ep as a producer from

Watts really talented brother, unbelievable musician. But um, I came up from the old school era of listening parties where you have people come in and they listen to music and then they go write about it. I just about think that day is done. I think that's just a nostalgic thing that we would like to do versus is it the smartest way to get from EXT to Z or are you using the cross walk with clubhouse? With this thing on Twitter? I forgot what they call it. Um,

you could do the same thing. You could have listening parties there, so you do exchange quality, but you also get to be everywhere at once for sure. And then yeah it's remote, so like we're in remote the remote day and age. My kind of question as far as the music industry goes is like, what's the Z like you just defined to the a second ago is like you're trying to get a deal, You're trying to do it, create a buzz or whatever. I'm more like, what it

like in the streaming era? What is monetization in the industry and the streaming era? You know that's kind of like my question. Well, we definitely are not in the space where music is not for selling anymore. You can sell it, but it's not for selling anymore, so you have a hard time selling it. Even films is going into that space. UM. I was with my people's and we were talking about the Little Boosey movie and everybody was like, well, can you I just go to Netflix?

Or can't I just go to YouTube? Or can I just go somewhere and stream it? And I'm like, now you have to go to his website and buy it how much? And I'm like, man, this man spent six figures probably making this film. Yeah, I see a lot of political films like that that the greater big data media companies don't want to put on their platforms that

they're going dependent that way. And it's tough. It's hard to recoup an r o I. It's it's a lot easier to just like use your brand and have Netflix give you ten million dollars to go do your thing. You know, whether it works or fails is on there, you know what I mean. They just need the subscriptions and feel content spaces. So back back to the point's good point, but back to the point. So it's, um, you don't make the line share of your economics off

of the music anymore. As far as it being for sale, Um, you have to have other products for sale at this point. How much like as an artist, where where where did your money come from? As an artist twenty years ago relative today? As far as the slash of the pie goes. I ain't been in the business twenty years. I'm not saying you personally, just like Joe, did you make it on tour? Did you make it? Like a dollar every record you sell? Or radio spends how does the radio

spend thing from nine from publishing? So radio goes to publishing. So let's say at ninety nine and two thousand, artists gonna make their money off shows. Um, publishing royalties is gonna be very minimal all the time advance. UM. You know a lot of musicians, that's why they got out of music. UM, I would imagine that's why I t started making films as well. UM. I think snoop era started to change where they started making money, but real money.

But if you listen to Biggie, like Biggie was rapping about it on I think it was in Life After Death and he was saying he was getting like thirty five the show like he raps about it, and uh, going back to Cally talking about that in the studio, it went it kept going up and up. What do he said? Going back to CALLI it was a certain number. It might have been five thousand, whatever it was. It wasn't no crazy money. But again, I don't think artists was making the kind of money that people imagine. I

think they was all selling the lifestyle. But what I heard, like what was it? Who it might have been, like somebody in there on the industry side, and like the rock sector and five that's the number five. That's what Biggie was rapping about on going back to CALLI uh show yeah best. She's sucking until I ain't got no more. Only in l a bust on the bell a rubbing and they tell me nick it says, yeahmmy, Then fuck yo, man, what's your plan? Is it to rock the try State?

Almost gold? Five g's five g's at show date? Or do you want to see about seven digits funk holes exquisite? CALLI great place to visit. He was talking about like being local around there and just getting five gs. And so because two Shot was talking about That's why I mean he said two reasons why he never got into pimping was because it was he was thousand show yeah, and it went up. So with social media again, like even Spotify as the social media. Um, you don't sell music.

Music comes the score or like the soundtrack to whatever the movement is, but the movement. You gotta have a product to sale if you really want to get paid. And that's where I think a lot of people fix. Some people figure it out, but a lot of people are it's too much, you know, crosswalking, going what the next person did? Ever since Tech nine game plan got out of him having his huge merch company, you know, taking that from the indie rock scene, and every last

artist has a ton of merchandise yea. And the reality is hip hop is all about culture and with social media people being able to tap into the culture of whatever you're selling, you need to own products within the culture. I think that's where hip hop is going wrong. Like you see it starting their own liquor m you know, you see it starting their own lakor dre got some headphones. You know. Fashion has always been one of the things, but there's so much more or to culture. Yeah, pots

and ship Why Master Pe put out of Cereal? I would love to see Master P do it on gumbo pot from New Orleans do a gumbo pot. Dude, If he did, he what do you call those sayings? A gum like a croc pot like like like basically a gumbo crock pot is kind of like the hip hop answer to the foreman grill exactly. You know it's fine, he would crush that's fire. And that's the trick you've been on. Instagram should be shut down. I thought they shut me down. Now they shut everybody down. Oh that's

good to know. They like, I've been making these half ast Some politician will come up and say something about something Bill and I was like, man, go fund yourself, and I'm like, I probably told the wrong senator to go fund themselves. And they shut down my Instagram. Everybody should shut down Instagram, Facebook shut down. All that ship shut down. Good, all that ship shut down. See youre telling me there was seventy thousand women this morning just

torking to the wall. They weren't working at all. The cameras all they were ting. They just didn't know that they weren't streaming. Oh yeah, oh man, that's fucking funny. They was. They was, um, Facebook will shut down. Instagram was shut down. And the only reason I noticed because I was looking at my Twitter and like my Twitter dog. It was like all kind of people that I haven't seen tweet in months on Twitter and they was just on there. You know, motherfucker's don't say nothing. They put

two words. You can see. Twitter is for like the intelligent people. You know, it's real quick widded, the width of it all. It's really faster. You know. You gotta use words, you know, and most motherfucker's like you pictures don't. I don't want to read books without picture. So I've always used Twitter as my as my it's my ship, but just to look at certain people. I I just I tweeter, I said, make it you. I said, don't bring your lass. I said, I see a whole bunch

of motherfucker's on Twitter that's normally ain't on Twitter. Don't bring your lass over here. Now I don't know what to do without them fucking pictures can Twitter? Yeah, I mean, like I deleted, like I full deleted my Facebook profile because I'm like, this is the way. So I'm like using this as stupid. So I'm just gonna I'm not gonna give you my data for free to funk off. So it's that kicked me off for life? Say how can they kick you off for life? That's for they said,

for life. Yeah, I mean, like I can go like this happened, even like last night, like late at night. So you're band from Twitter for life? Yes? How did they email you like your band for life? No? I mean it says that, like I tried deleting the account, you cannot. I try to enter open seeing the mailbox, I cannot. I tried writing, I cannot. Like it says it your account is permanently suspended, and it's tied to all my ships, so it's put like it pulls to my like you you have to verify like a phone

number or email, all these other things. All of that ship is banned, So get a new phone number. I don't want Twitter that bad. It's Twitter gonna band me to fuck him. I'm not gonna go jump to give them more value. You like a little Boozy, Uh, yes, busy, But I like Boosey a lot. I like Bullsey a lot. Other than the Tyson interview. I like Boosty had never done nothing wrong in his life. Fuck the murder charge. Other than his only blackish is that Tyson interview. Everything

else is great, because how do you get banned for life? Though? Because off of social media. I'll tell you how it happened. That doctor we had in here the other day, he shot me a a reputable, peer reviewed scientific study about a year ago regarding COVID and it and it demonstratively showed the anti alarmism reality. So I posted the study and I said some small comment regarding you know, an anti like like like like a contrarian perspective based off

of a reputable scientific study regarding COVID. Within two or three hours, I'm banned for life. This was before they were This was before they were pulling it off like like now you push it on and they and they just yank it like it never happened. They yanked me like I never happened. We need to talk to the man at Twitter. Funk that guy jack jacking out of here. Christ.

You know, it's funny for white people, real white people who are honest have it so hard because no matter what you said, you're gonna be racist on social media, you're gonna be's gonna be spread whatever ship. Dude. You know how many times I got called other white people on Twitter before I was out of Twitter like asinine, Like I'm like, dude, I don't even know any white people that aren't blood relatives. Like if you're white and I know you, yeah, we're like I know you from

Thanksgiving last year. That's how I know you, like we probably are, like I keep in touch with those white people in case I need a donor. Those are my that's my bone marrow network. That's not family. Oh shit,

Pete Man, what the fuck? But Susan Q from Berkeley wants to call me a racist whatever, And as funny is, they'll be sitting around up there with that liberal mind state, not fucking with no niggas, no brothers, and be thinking they're just cool versius you who have your own opinion, who just funck with brothers all the time, chill every day. That's kind of your routines at school. And then we're

looking at you crazy. But you know why, My dad kind of made me realize this, and I noticed this is the narrative on social media, and this is what makes social media dangerous. It's a confused us that anybody who's politics lean right wing is racist, of course, And it's a way to blackmail for votes. I'm sorry, it's a way to white male for votes or whatever. I don't know. I finished start using it white man good. And I don't know if I got black listed or

white listed from Twitter. I don't listened. They wiped you out because like you white but like, here's the thing on you got white ball? Yeah, white ball that was used I used to I used to use that term a lot. I forgot about that one. That's a great I got white balled off Twitter. You scratched name, was like, yeah, we're gonna just let you keep putting it up here, but you won't play the game anymore. Scratch. But they'll

still show me those Nike shoe ads come back. I don't even know if I could buy the shoes through the ad port anymore. We're gonna with you and Jack good celebrity deathmatch like MTV and the nineties. Oh whoop his clay do ask? I hate this? And what's crazy is they start social media's are starting to control the narratives, and they're like, when you you can't spread mess, shut the funk up starting. Yeah, I like like some jackass who dropped out of fun junior college because he played

computer games and learned how to code. Suddenly is the end all be all of what is? And is it not literal factual information? Like that fucking guy has a clue. Get the funk outta here. You're trying to hack like doom back in and now all of a sudden you understand chemistry. Get the funk out of here. It's like if you see the Facebook the Facebook film, because and that nigga was just trying to get bitches. All he cared about was the social status and she's single or

he got somebody. He starting Facebook because because he didn't get no pussy. Now you get all the pussy and people be really respecting this fucking opinion on something totally. It's like day the new police. That's how police become police. Was the niggas used to give the only I know some police that solid for me. They got social media and ship. My humboy Mindo Mindo never was no Mark. Mindo always was a cool, smooth, you know Mesican. We lived with his neighbors at my pop's house and he

was always just moving. So watching him become the police, I was like, damn, that's what he gonna be a cool police because he never was like a funny motherfucker in the first place. My boy Arthur was a smooth motherfucker. But there's nothing worse than seeing the people who you'd be like, ah, they're gonna let you become a police It's crazy. I had a friend of mine who's Mexican.

Dude went from my high school, and I bumped into him at the gym like ten years ago, probably within our late twenties, and he was trying to be uh in law enforcement, and he tried to do I think l A County Sheriff, and they rejected him on the personality profile. And the way he described it was it's like if you don't have a certain I want to say antagonistic, but it was kind of a series of negative personality adjectives. If this profile doesn't match you into

being kind of bullish, you're not. You're gonna You're gonna wash out after a year or two. So we're not going to spend the revenue and the resources of training you and prepping you and putting you into this for a year or two just just to try to reduce the um the the rate of people who leave. I'm gonna well, that's that's great. That's just great. It makes sense because every bad police experience I've had in l

A has been in l A County Sheriff. It was like every great police terns I've ever had has been the Sheriff's. Really, the Sheriff's is the best ship in the world. Man. When it comes to the fucking police police department, man, they'd be tripping, bro. They're gonna write you up for every little thing. I mean, they don't give a fun man. Man, you know it's come on your tires, just a ticket, you know, my ticket, shaff As long as they don't find no guns and dope.

They're like, man, I don't get what you do. Your tax could be inspired for twelve years if you cool. Man, They don't give a fuck the guns of dope. You got guns of dope? Can we check out the car check man? Look y'all could check yeah. All. When I say all my bad police experiences, I was getting so many tickets, mostly from l ap D, trying to like justify searchers from our car, but they'd write the ticket. I gotta just say, you get one more ticket, we're suspending.

The state's gonna suspend your license. I'm like, I don't even drive weird like that. But all the like blatant Fourth Amendment violations always sheriff whods ones exactly is the Fourth I don't know that that's that's like your private search and search and sees your type of level of privacy, you know, so coming up and I mean like one time the guy's like, oh, I feel like you're nervous. That justifies me to pull you out his car and cuff you and search the entire vehicle. I'm like, you

don't even know me. How do you know my demeanor? You don't have a baseline for this. I follow, I follow a police on I follow a police dude. He's on what couple of them? I follow a dude that played basketball, is a trick shot cop, and you know he seems like such a cool life. Is that a basketball reference? Just be clear because they thought I was trying to pick up process. Now he's doing all these like trick shot, he fun with hoop, big old buff

brother called cool dude, And it's fun me. Like I said, because you see the guys that I follow, the dudes that I follow on social media, that's that somebody I know or some level of person that I think is an entertaining person. Anytime you see any interaction on social media with the police, like it's either extremely left or extremely right on social media, Like it's it's literally like you know a motherfucker could be fighting over like why

are you punching him out like that? And it's like, yeah, I know why you're punching him out. You know, even if I don't say nothing in the comments, I know why he punched him out. Or it's like the one that dance against the little kids. Mhm um. I don't know, man. The more I just think about it and embracing social media, I wonder, is it like like how you feel about it, like going live and being able to practice your jokes or me holding a conversation about album ideas or titles.

It's beneficial, It's beneficial. Um. I think for content creators there's they have a monopoly on all the value of social media. The content consumers. It is a nightmare for them on all fronts, just because they kind of want to go like, you can't you can't create content in the comments? All right, Actually you can, but it's gonna fuck your life up if that's what you want to try to do. I do it all the time. But but you don't create. But that's not your entry to

the door like you have other content. I don't you really think I'm a trolled. I'm not even talking about that, Like, you have albums, you have shows, you have this ship, so you're putting something in comments somewhere or whatever. I'm talking about the person who's like, god, damnit, I am an amateur, full time Twitter Twitter commenter, and that's what I do. Those people, they are the oxidization of society,

of the iron of society. But looks so, I mean, the best part about social media at times is the comments. That's what makes social media so grand. Social media wouldn't be social media without the comments. Yeah. I never gave a funk about the comments. The comments is the best part. Yeah, you're missing out on a You missing out on the on, the on, the on, the on, the sweetness of the of the plant. Like, that's what makes it great. The comments are like baseball, and the content is like basketball.

M I think content is like baseball and the comments are like basketball. Bro, Listen, It's okay, it's a rapper, right, it's a rapper. That's he's from out of l a from St. Petro's name is uh ah, it's Rimble, that's his name, Rimble and Rmble is like, uh this this little dope, young dude, he's he's fucking funny. Like he's really dope. He found this kind of thing he does with his style and he comes out really fucking good.

And he he's special, right, he's special. But the way he raps, he raps like almost in this perfect annunciation style. That's the style that's perfect annunciation. So every time I look at the comments, bro, the comments is the funniest ship in the fucking world. Like you start to realize how fucking funny society is when you look at the comments and some of this ship. Bro. Hold, So it's Ramble, right,

it's just super hard song. Got a song called Touchable fire right, hold up, let me read to the comments. YouTube is one of the coldest social media sites in the world. So the first comment is he doesn't murder you. He simply reduces your expected lifespan. So the way and you have to hear him rap because he raps almost like an English teacher. So it's like he goes for perfect grammar and perfect annunciation. It's Rambles. His name is Ramble, untouchable.

It's called touchable. It said Ramble isn't built different, he's constructed alternatively. Absolutely, he doesn't miss you. He verbally communicates to you about your embarrassing blemishes that one could stand to have. He doesn't get arrested. He just allows himself to enter an institution to reflect on life of personal reasons. It sounds like Chuck Norris isms, almost like the Chuck norricisms of hip hop, like the man is rapping in

Times New Roman. He doesn't sleep. He simply takes a break after a long, hard day, allowing him to feel energized later on for another excruciating activity. This ship is better than a fucking video. But that But okay, when I say it's like baseball, how many pitches do you have to watch go by before you get a hit like that? It's all the time. No, you know what? No,

I agree? You right, you're right, You're right. It is because this ship has eighteen thousand comics, so like relative like on the flip side, another artist that I find very humorous. This applies. How many applies videos do I have to go through before I'm amused by one of them? Too? It's a field goal percentage. He doesn't stalk you. He simply just pays more expected attention to your life than the lives of others. No way, this guy, Oh, he

doesn't jump. He simply assorts his balance upward and catch his airtime. Bro, this is what makes social media ground. I was trying to tell still this still wanted to launch a platform and he just wanted to deliver content. And I'm like, yeah, don't do that. Yeah, he wanted to just deliver content. I'm like, yeah, Bro, I don't really look at ship outside of that with like very rarely we have that. It's called television. And Nik's going

right to their phone to tell everybody what they saw. Man, this was on the New Yes, don't go to Twitter, post the video and then comments on all that. That's all's gonna happen. They'll take steals content, run to Twitter and discuss it. Bro is rapping an English essay. The comments because are great. H. He doesn't dish you. He educates you on your flaws by forming a series of rhymes that sound pleasing to the human ears. Bro, this is amazing. This is amazing, Like, this is what makes

social media great. He doesn't blink, He temporarily he doesn't blink. He temporarily shuts his eyelids to retain moisture in his eyes. Bro, they are fucking funny the world because it is funny and and it's not. The world is so more often funny by accident. But that's what makes it funny, because life is happening by accident. Yeah, that's that's true. We just don't want to laugh at some of the things. You ever see somebody that that well, society, that's rude

and all that. Ship. I'm impervious to that. Like, I love that, that's great. I have no problem with that. I think the issue is you can't predict, reproduce, and scale the random accident. So that's why it's not marketable. And if you just happen to figure out a way to aggregate and capture all those things, that's why. That's why Twitter makes the money that it makes, because it found a way to be present for all the accidents at the same time and capture them and monetize them.

That's Twitter. Every time somebody slips on the banana peel, Twitter is there. Anytime in anvil falls out of a tree and lands on someone's head, Twitter is there every time, my alligator, he just ship. Social media is the greatest inventing in the modern time, but only because the jokes right themselves true. Bro, Like the jokes right themselves. Yeah, it's like you get every It's like you put up one piece of content and you end up with thirty.

Like one video for Rmble's Touchable video has created hundreds of comments, hundreds of more content. And I think that's the key with you know, understanding your business in it. Yeah, you know what Twitter and social media is as far as jokes and funny comments are concerned. And you're not going to like this one bit. I'm very sorry. It is the capitalist, free market system at world work, unencumbered

by government established barriers of entry. There is no barrier of entry for anyone on Twitter to make a great joke about anything except me h.
