¶ Body Types and High School Proms
I guess crazy not having to hit all them buttons now .
I gotta clean it up huh .
Welcome back to the Nobody's Talking podcast . We are a trio today . This is your boy , Bosco . I'm just going to introduce myself while the crowd is still clapping for me . I'm on the ground and then sitting next to me .
Good evening slaves .
You said good evening . No rodeo , joe . I don't think Joe will be here for the next couple of weeks . I think that's what he told me . He's out of town . The next couple , vegas is coming . I forgot you got to introduce yourself .
You know who it is , Silky . I'm a big fan of the squad . Yeah , now Vegas is coming .
We got about a month . Everybody better get their push-ups in . I did squats last night , probably a week and a half , maybe Almost two weeks . I'm feeling it already . I did . I only did three sets . I'm afraid to do them . I did three sets . I was going to do another set of ten . I got the six . I'm done . Exactly Done , absolutely . There's no PRs .
You already know in your mind . You might as well just go in and suffer the consequences Now , when Sunday comes and my legs are done , when we're hooping , hopefully , I should be .
alright , I'm going to squat next week your knees still messed up .
My knees feel like they're going to give out . Every time I'm always scared .
I'm going to be squatting and then just it's going to be over , steve said the same thing .
I actually love squatting my knees .
I don't , I do it . I don't care , but I'm just saying I don't like doing it . I like it . It's difficult , throw me under the bench . Throw me under the bench , but I mean , I squat because , Y'all guys got big legs already though .
Squat is the best exercise you can do .
They say it doesn't like boost your testosterone and all that stuff .
Everything , everything . It's basically a full body workout .
You know it is good , but it is . At some point though you can be throwing all that weight . You start getting up in your 35 , 40 and you know you're not that avid . You know , even when you watch some of them , them cats don't even be squatting like that .
I mean I know you see Nick Chubb for the Browns just put out like 6th honey , him and Saquon , yeah , that's ridiculous . That's ridiculous . Hey , I was listening to TJ TJ Hushmanizala right and who showed ? I don't know if he was on . I think he might have been on Colin Cowherd .
He was on one of them shows and they was asking him , Like what's the craziest thing you seen in a weight room ? He said one of the Polynesian cats was doing reverse grip bench 405 . That's Polynesian . Hawaiian dude is strong as hell , reverse grip dog . I mean hey , yeah , yeah , hey y'all .
Well , obviously , you know , reverse grip means your palms are facing away from you , they're not facing .
like you know , when you land down on the bench and you're looking at the back of your hands , you're looking at your fingers , you like you about to do a curl . Yeah , pretty much .
Let me ask you this Every time you lined up against someone Polynesian , Hawaiian , whatever Did they ?
have like that extra strength , you could just see man those things .
Yeah , yeah , yeah .
No , that is true , at least for the most part , because there's a lot of times by me being out wide .
Yeah , you know , a lot of things was down in the trenches .
But you still had some .
Isn't Troy , troy , paulamalus and our dude safety Exactly Damn . It's going to come to me , so I mean . So I know there's still some now .
Yeah . So , man , you see , troy , you like , yeah , man .
They're just naturally big though .
Yeah y'all , yeah they are they , they , thick man , you see some of them cats . Let's just say , when you're walking through the airport and just watch some of the ones that work and some of them Polynesians man , those cats be carrying like eight , nine suitcases .
You like goodness , you're going to probably pick the plank , pick up the whole plank and turn it around , and that is that . That's wild .
So isn't it crazy though you think about people right , so you think about Polynesians and , naturally , bigger , stronger people Right right , right , then you look at Asians who are thin . Isn't that crazy . How body you know . How do people's bodies evolve over time ?
I want to know how the Hellum Kenyans can run for like 20,000 miles .
For real , they train , they train like crazy .
Now that is , that is crazy , because everybody do . You know you have different body types . You got slim builds , medium builds , like you know , larger , thicker cats , and then you just like man , but , like you said , the Polynesians .
Not every one of them , I mean you got some skinny ones , but most of my cities just do yeah do . I know most of them . I took a Polynesian girl to prom , oh did you .
She was in her year .
But she had thick arms , she was athletic . Yeah , yeah , yeah .
She wasn't tiny , but she wasn't , she was just yeah no , she's .
Polynesian , she's thick arms yeah . I bet . Did she throw discus ? Or the shot put her anything ? I think she threw the discus . Yeah , shout out to all the Polynesians . Yeah , now that's Sterling . You remember your prom ? Did you go to prom ? You went to two .
Julian's senior year , I guess .
With the same person . Here we go , taking over for Joe . Give us the story .
My junior year I went with the girl . I like my senior year I went with the girl just because she was black and I wanted to go with the girl that was black .
Oh so the junior year you went with the white chick .
No , she was half black , half Asian .
Oh , okay , she was blazing , so you went with the woman of color .
Yeah .
And senior year you .
I wish I would have dated some white girl back in . I don't know what my issue was . I wasn't hurting that , I was , just you wasn't on it . It was weird because , like I said , my high school was like 98% white .
Oh , no , ours was . Ours was 98% white , but it wasn't even , I think , three black people graduated my graduating class . Yeah , we had maybe Well known for .
Five .
We might have been like .
We had a private school .
It was like 545 . Like total In an entire school 545 . Oh , that's it . Wow , that's small , our school was similar .
I think we only had about 1200 .
Like in the whole school , in the whole school .
So my graduating class .
Meanwhile , the school I was going to was in Chicago 2000 , something .
Yeah , the public school I went to it was probably like a thousand or eleven hundred yeah .
Well , it was funny because I took my son to his freshman orientation . He started school next week , so you , know he was going to have about 500 . In his class , in his class .
Right , yeah , we went to . We went to Sonia's , her nephew's , graduation . I think it was like 500 . It was like 500 something people . They were ready to fall asleep .
In his graduation .
Hey , I now will admit this it didn't go . It went pretty fast .
I think we had to . You gotta really be on it , because in Texas we were going , they called it graduating season , we were going to the schools in Texas and they I'm talking about 700 .
Oh yeah , like all them schools in Texas , yeah , Like .
God damn .
Yeah .
Like we gonna be in here for 10 hours , but it went kinda fast , yeah , yeah , yeah , they got a system .
I'm sure you go .
We gonna go like this don't do nothing , because at the one school they would just call like five names in the row boom , boom , boom , boom , hand , hand , hand .
And then you just go , Boom , boom , boom , boom hand .
So I'm like damn .
Yeah , it did .
It's like an assembly line , yeah it went pretty smooth , though Some of the schools across town I know in Chandler they got thousand kids- oh yeah , like in the class . We got 4,000 students , students , yeah .
Hamilton , Cause I know right here it's 3,000 , now 3,000 . And this one probably end up being more as soon as they finish .
My step daughter went to across sees her chavez , and they was at 2,900 . 2,900 . Yeah , oh my .
God damn , all these schools are big . I mean the small schools out here .
And then Betty Fairfax , right down the street . I mean , did they have ?
Yeah , see , and that's like our public schools , a big school which would be like division one . Well , for us , you know , division one , they are the top divisions . They had about 1,000 , like 1,200 . 1,200 , okay , there's a couple of schools like in the suburbs I'm just going inner city like the public .
Akron public schools there's a few had about 1,000 , a little bit over To me that was big . So living out here in Sydney schools and Hamilton or some schools in Texas , we're like 4,000 kids and you're like goodness gracious .
These schools are , so they're different . Cause they so big , cause they so spread out .
Yeah .
They got like real life campuses , uh-huh , yeah , that'd be different .
I'm like damn , Ah yeah , these campuses , I've designed a few of them , I know in Chandler . It's ridiculous , ridiculous .
All right if they putting any new ones up .
High schools , not in Chandler , it's in elementary schools . They need to start planning up here .
Oh listen , I know stuff like over there by the 303 . It's gonna be ridiculous Prize and and it's getting real crazy out there , man , Getting real , real crazy . Now check this out .
¶ Taylor Swift and Concert Sales
Let's talk about Taylor Swift . Who heard about this chick doing six concerts in LA , 80,000 people .
All sold out .
All sold out Six nights . Now , this is not , trust me , this ain't a shot . This is kudos . No , yeah , no . This is honestly kudos . Amazing , like what in the I mean that chick has is she the most popular ?
I mean she would have to be , I mean her . Beyonce it's probably her Beyonce ain't doing no , nothing .
It's her and Beyonce . Beyonce ain't doing no nothing .
Beyonce's selling out . Still she's selling out Stadium's just bad . No , she's , yeah , she is . She's sold out . Mad life two nights in a row .
But you know what ? Because they said the same thing , they said like Ed Sheeran is doing the same thing , it's just she's just doing it like back to back to back , oh , okay .
You got to think of it like this Most artists can't sell out a football ring period anyway . Yeah , that's true . So most of them can't do that . Beyonce can do it , and then , like , obviously , taylor Swift can do it . Most mainstream white artists . That's real big , they can always .
Like NSYNC and by Backstreet Boys .
Beyonce probably . I mean I can't think of another black artist . That's like it's been a sell out .
Drake .
Football stadium Drake .
Yeah , yeah , beyonce Drake .
I mean Jason and then Hove .
Yeah , yeah .
But then after that , I don't know , I think maybe Kendrick could Kendrick , maybe Kendrick . I think Kendrick more of a like he do good at festivals Because with Kendrick everybody likes Kendrick , Everybody can acknowledge that he's like .
One of the top .
The top in the game .
Yeah , yeah .
But to come out you gotta .
You know he got a certain kind of fan base .
How about Travis Scott ?
Travis got like . He got a crazy fan base too , Like some people that you know Some of my life super , super familiar . See some people you wouldn't think about it , but they fan bases . Be like rabbit , like think about it . Like this , like Nicki Minaj fan base . They talk a lot but they don't .
They really don't . It's really much money . Hey , you know ? Hey , they were saying the same thing with Rihanna . They say her music everything does well , but they say when she has concerts it's not Doesn't do it . No , not like them numbers , you know . Not like you know , I guess Beyonce or Taylor Swift . And once again , we don't fact check .
I'm just going off of what I heard At this point them number numbers only Beyonce and Taylor Swift is maybe like a hairy style for somebody , but I just think that's insane when they say it . But Taylor Swift , nothing to give them . She sold out so far , she's white .
Stadium . So I mean .
I mean , she's just like clean cut and all that . I that's . I still can't believe .
And her you got about ? Her fan base is from like 11 to 40 .
Yeah , yeah . So it's like I can't do a lot of people outside .
My daughter Shake it off . Let me see , I think I got to tell it , shake it off .
Shake it off , bad blood .
Oh yeah , we never get back together .
I knew you was trouble .
God dang , you know I ain't going to lie .
I got to fuck with Taylor Swift . Oh yeah , I like that .
I'm going to have to start listening to it , she pulling them numbers . Yeah Well , Beyonce going to be here in what three weeks ?
Oh , is she coming in ?
three weeks yeah .
Ain't going to be honest . I'm going to horrible decisions , though .
Who's horrible decisions ?
The podcast . Ok , they get , they do they last ? Well , that's the girls , huh .
So they do , like what 85 self does . Yeah , go on tour . Well , they do that . That's what we're going to start doing .
They do it every night . Then this is the last actual tour .
So they've done a few tours . This is a last tour .
So they're not doing it tours anymore , so they do the podcast show .
So they call this on the climax tour .
Yeah , so they do a podcast show and then they just kind of just talk .
So it'll be like if we were just sitting here . Yeah , because sometimes they do them at Stand Up Live . Oh yeah , yeah , they do them at the comedy clubs and stuff .
So it'll be just like what we're doing right now , but we're like this set up would just be at Stand Up Live and people just sit there and then it'll be , you know you would have what's it called Horrible Decisions yeah , horrible .
Decisions .
They don't know black effects Like a whore . Yeah , horrible decisions .
They're the white chicks .
No , black chicks . They're black , they're mixed chicks . Yeah , so yeah .
So mixed chicks is black , right that's what I always talk about . Ok , because I'm saying this , nigga keeps saying people got to stop trying to sweet-nigger . When I was a kid they was black and they black now and you can be like , oh , you can identify as white . No , nigga , you black .
I don't think you can identify as white if you mix . Come on for the $71 .
For the horrible decisions . Crescent ballroom when is that ? I heard it . I heard it at before . Where is that the Crescent Ballroom Is ?
that in Scottsdale ?
No , it's downtown the Crescent Ballroom . Damn what cross street .
But yeah , I started $71 .
A , I know , I go see what is it . Drew Hill , drew Hill SWV . And Jodesy , I think that's September 2nd . Yeah , you just talk about that comedy show . Yeah , yeah , they're going to be at the Cricket Pavilion . Huh , the Cricket Pavilion . Oh , it's not cricket , no more , but that's what I still call it . I'm calling it Cricket Pavilion , second Street in Van .
Buren , oh yeah .
It's kind of right by the van Buren , right , yeah , similar to that .
No , I've never been to the van Buren either .
Van Buren's pretty cool , it's standing room only .
Yeah , I don't think I've never been . So when you go to a concert there , it's just .
Yeah , it's just general admission . You just stand in the room and just stay up there ?
How many people ?
I don't know it probably fit a couple thousand .
So what's the place that's off of like 75th and in Cantu ?
No , that's what I call the Cricket Pavilion . It's Talking Stick Pavilion .
It called me out of guard because you do not see Talking Stick .
I think you got there . That's exactly what I said .
I'm always thinking because it was Hock Chen , hock Chen was there at one point right .
But you always have to look at . They always say Empathyator , so you got to look for that . So you know it's well . Like I said , I keep calling it .
Cricket .
But yeah , because that's what it was , joe , I still call it Jobbingcom . Oh yeah , that thing that had nine , 20 million things , that was Talking Stick , or and Desert Diamond , hock Chen or Desert Diamond .
Now it was Heeler . Yeah , it was Jobbing .
Then you got the Footprint Center . Yeah , I remember being Jobbing . I remember being the Heeler River .
And where's America West now ? America West Arena Footprint Center ? Oh , and , you see Arizona State . The football stadium is called like Mountain Side Bank .
I think it's a credit union .
They said this is the first time it has . It's not Sun Devil Stadium anymore , it's Money Talks .
They can somebody give them some paper .
Yeah , yeah .
United Airlines has been giving the city of Chicago to the United Center like 20 million .
Man .
Ever . That's the one of the only states that's the biggest United Center since it went up .
Damn .
Is that where it's always been here ?
Is that their hub in Chicago ?
No , I don't think so . It might be in O'Hare .
Because , like America and so you feel , you go to Dallas . All those foreigners are American , american Arena .
Yeah , yeah , yeah .
So if that's their hub , Like , isn't it ?
a couple Like Mercedes Benz is in .
Atlanta . It's Atlanta in New Orleans .
That's what I thought .
So I guess , whoever you want to , make that check to whether they got a state farm state in . Somebody can go ahead and sponsor a I've still been calling the UOP for the longest , Even though I keep driving past them seeing state farm it's going to affect to me eventually , but I keep calling the UOP .
I don't call it that because I never even liked it .
I always thought it was weird like University of Phoenix yeah that's there Sounds too college-ish for me .
And is University of Phoenix ? Is it still around ?
Yeah .
Is it ? My sister got her master's from the University of Phoenix .
I thought they went bankrupt or something I thought something happened .
They just ain't big time , no more .
I know , when we first moved here , man , you saw them things all over the place .
They're all over the country , aren't ?
they University of Phoenix .
I guess I ain't no much about it too , I know in Chicago you see a lot of University of Phoenix commercials talking about some B of Phoenix .
Hey , did y'all know what a Phoenix was before you even ?
Yeah , but that's because I read like mythology and shit .
I do in Phoenix ?
So you read in all the stories He'd be born from his ashes .
The Phoenix .
I know what that nigga was . Well , I know he was a . Wasn't he one of them little superhero characters too ? That's probably what a .
I know it was a name Gene Gray , that's right , right , right , gene Gray , yeah , and . X-men , x-men , yeah .
See , yeah , but that's all I knew right there .
Other than that .
I knew absolutely nothing .
Representing our bird . That was hot .
Oh , and it's hot too . Hey , y'all know a Phoenix recorded the hottest month ever for a city in US history in July . I don't know what the average temperature was , but Over 110 .
Was that the average for the whole month ?
At least yeah . Because , we went through two weeks of 115 to 17 .
It was like that for a while 30 or 31 straight days .
And then it's so funny , we're still I don't even know , you don't even need to watch the weather here , but you turn on the weather and you just like , uh , it's hot , yeah . It's going to be hot today , but you know it's going to be hot and even if it rains , you're like , oh , whatever , yeah , hopefully it does rain .
I hope so too , but yeah , this is one . Yeah , you complain about the heat , but you got to get in it every day .
No , it is what it is . No , I didn't you choose to live here . It's going to be hot next summer , the summer after that and the summer after that , People always ask how
¶ The Record-Breaking Heat of July
can you live in ?
there , the average temperature was 102.7 .
For July .
For July .
Huh , that's average this beats the record .
The previous record .
Yeah , because that's what it says .
It's seen , except in August 2020 at 99.1 . Yeah , because that .
Now I know if people think 102.7, .
I would say 103 degrees , but you got to realize , in most cities they don't even get to 100 .
Hey , but look .
You know when it's hot .
But look no .
Then the humidity be suffocating , you know .
This is what people ain't realizing .
Terrible .
They said the average . The average temperature was 102 . So that means for the entire month it was at least that . It was at least that so we talking about in the morning , at night , because you know it cools off , so it had to be super , super hot to bring that average to 102 . That's what people don't realize , because for us we think 102 .
We're like , oh , that's beautiful .
It can be 102 for 30 .
Nah , I'm going outside .
It was 102 at 11 . Yeah PM .
He was calling me , he ain't 102 .
I know , checking on me , you good , you all right , you be like you know . You know I'm doing all right , I'm going to go to work .
I'll get up at 5.30 to go to work . It's 102 right there .
Yeah , you like Time to get a bill of that workday it's 117 .
Like we don't have the AC .
Yeah , yeah ask about me when the no remember , I told you my air , but I mean I wasn't . I mean it ain't like I was affected . That took that thing straight to the shop , like I was like , wait , I think something is something's matter with my air . Very next day , yeah , it was in the shop . I was like , hey , I think my air is starting to act up .
Man , you can't have that . But then this was before it even got . That's your hell . Yeah , this was way before it did . This might have been . This actually might have been like two months ago .
I'll be feeling sorry for cats that don't got no AC . See him driving with the windows down . Man . I feel sorry for him , man , it was worse .
Hey , remember the one time Joe said he pulled up next to somebody and he said he just felt bad , so he said he just rolled his window down . Remember , he said he didn't want to see him . Want the person to see him . Oh , enjoying that . Ac man , Listen , that dog , that's insane man . 102 was was the average John .
That's crazy 103 because it was 102.7 . Oh , you got to round up in 103 degrees . They might have went around up to 105 , because I don't even know how they got to 102 . We just went through July . Every day you turn , it was 100 . Yeah , yeah .
So it was 115 for at least at least 13 , 14 days straight , I know for short . Past two weeks I was sitting there looking at the weather like the thing is is .
I mean , we've all learned to deal with it . It's just if you don't park under a canopy or something .
Yeah , you know you go to the store or something like that . It's just funny , though , like that's what .
that's where it hits you is what you get in that car . Yeah man , you let that belt buckle .
Well , I don't let the seats they have that belt buckle .
Touch your skin . It's not be .
That's .
Yeah .
I better carry your towel .
Real .
You have a what you got . You got to have one of my remote starts . I got that . Let it cool off , yeah .
Yeah , I'll be forgetting to push this sometimes . Oh damn it Got about it .
And now that's crazy . Right there Now do people still go ? Is the drive in ? Is the drive in still going on in the summer ? That's a good question . I don't know , because I know . I mean I just passed it .
Uh , actually today I would hope that today I would hope I wouldn't recommend it . Yeah , so that's why .
I'm like , man , would they can be open during the summertime ? Oh , I would hope not , man . I ain't been to that . We went , I think , one time . Oh , that's a long time ago , but yeah , I'm like how do you even listen to the ? They still have that speaker that you put in your window and roll it up and you just , you tune your radio in .
I don't know what they do . I haven't been to drive drive through five , 15 years .
I don't like man , I mess around , Go to start , go to start the car and I'm like I'm all messed up . You had to go through your system Now I don't even start . No .
I know I'll be mad as hell sitting there .
Have to turn on my .
AC Watch it Like nah , I'll just go ahead and pay .
The extra few dollars Go to that yeah hell , yeah , yeah , this , I'm all out of the mad to start it .
They're the one by the shark .
Yeah , up going to see it . I heard it was getting a terrible review . Still going to see it . I don't think the first one got good .
Ain't never saw the first one . Hey well , I love this I saw the first one and I'm going to love this one .
I do listen . I just love the movie experience . You know you get them . People like , oh , I'll just watch it at home . Yes , you can . Now , like I said , if money is an issue , I get it . Now , I get it . Everybody can't go out to the movies . Some people don't like going to the movies .
I like going , getting some popcorn , a box of candy , just sitting up there chilling Like damn , this is nice . Probably because I didn't do it Went to the movies as a kid , but not like as an adult , because as an adult I'm like I'm there , you're just relaxing . I mean four , like four or five times a month .
Yeah , you're just relaxing . You just go there watch a movie , relax a couple hours , eat some popcorn .
Yeah , that's what I'm saying . Get out the house , go use their air up a little bit .
Paying for it . Go , use the AC .
Walk around the mall , especially with some good movies coming out . Some good movies coming out .
So they can release the movies that have already been made . Right , it's just they stop . Obviously they're a strike , so they can't .
Yeah , so you know I don't . That's a good question .
What happened ?
Yeah , I think the stuff that's already done in it will think that what they call it in the can , In the can yeah .
Yeah , I think they can like those are all good Because that's the studio owns that .
The studio owns it , so once they get it , they get it . Can they pay ?
But new stuff coming .
Like from the writers yeah , so I mean nobody to write , it Ain't nobody to act in it yeah .
So then that's that .
¶ Streaming Services' Issues
I wonder what's going to happen . You know , I wonder if these writers are still writing stuff on the side that just ain't releasing it , or when they do in this strike . You know , this is just going to be a surplus of .
I mean , they probably , you know , using their creative outlets . They probably still were writing , doing things they want to do . They just ain't on the clock .
That's crazy , y'all . You see , I think one of the biggest issues is the streaming services , right ? So you know , this is us . Mandy Moore is a big star in there and she showed one of her checks from the streaming on Hulu or whatever it's on . Y'all give us for 81 cents , that's crazy .
Well , listen , they said that . You know , obviously Rihanna , she had the most streamed Spotify history period at billion since 2012 . Right , I guess it's about five stars . So since 2012, . What's that ? 11 years ? No 2008 , because they said it was about 15 years . They said from that billion stream from 2008 until now , she's made 2.6 million .
That's terrible . Off the stream that's terrible .
A billion . That's terrible .
Now I would say that they're and being excited for making that . That's terrible man . There's a .
And that's her .
That's what the most .
So imagine what other people they really ain't making enough .
I don't even understand how the streaming works , because I mean for real most of the times , like when I'm playing music or whatever doing the workouts . That's like it's not Spotify , it's not Apple music , it's just CDs out and downloaded . Or you know , I'll go and I'll buy a song from here . I don't know why , so go watch the playlist on Netflix .
It's about Spotify .
And it's like streaming .
How they started , how the dude started it .
Yeah , so I don't understand how they made , because I think with Spotify you get so many things Like the title obviously gives me the most . I think for every 20 songs , 29 songs like the artist get like 70 cents . That's on title , but that same number on Spotify it's like 10 cents . It's real life .
But , Somebody was trying to explain to me that's why the title was for the artist , because they make more money , but still you got to pay . I got to pay the song this many times for you to get up , you still ain't even got a dollar .
It's 79 . That was the number that you .
And people 79 streams . People aren't even buying music . Gets you a dollar on title Like buying it 345 streams get you a dollar on Spotify .
Here's the thing .
They ain't getting paid enough , but at least they're getting paid something , because platforms like Tidal , spotify , apple Music and all that type of stuff those were made to get rid of the Napsters people stealing it Right .
Right , right .
That's true , so they were made to get rid of that .
But they should be making a little bit more . No , they should be making more .
No , I agree , I agree .
I'm like you know they're making more Because this is like now I see why they're going to her . Like once again it comes back to Taylor Swift , because you know she's going like I think she's announcing dates for October 2024 . That's where they make the money at now , I know . I think they should make like a billion dollars .
Man , they don't make their money off of it . It's great Off the CDs .
No , they make their money touring .
They make their money touring now and you know , and what ?
they're making is going to merch Merch touring whatever investment they got going on . That's how they get it , because like the record companies and they're streaming . They ain't seeing nothing from that , not for real .
Because obviously you know I always tell y'all shout out to Tank and Jay Valentine , because you know I love listening to the podcast R&B Money and because I love music so much .
But I don't understand the business , like I'm just a fan of music when they get to talking about how the music is played and stacking , and I can kind of figure it out or Google what this stuff is .
But I just said , apparently I wonder like how in the hell , if you wrote Love in the Club with Beyonce , right , or Usher that's the remix , because remember the original one , wasn't it GZ ? So Usher and GZ .
So now let's just say I get on there and when they talk about making Love in the Club and I'm like yeah , yeah , I could pay something , and you also like I might get a writer's credit , like just because I wrote that line , yeah , but I want to know how in the hell Do I get paid
¶ Music Industry and Clearing Samples Explained
? Look , you make beats . So now somebody bought your beat and I say somebody paid you like 50,000 bucks . Now they own it , right .
I Oshaded . So , like some producers , they'll sell you . So that's a Kanye West soldier be for $250,000 , but so he but he still wants a royalty credit .
So he's gonna be put as the producer on there so he'll get the producer credit and then , but for the most part , once you sell it , it's gone like that's why a lot of them they have this I forget what it's called a platform when you can put your beats up and people can use it , license it right . And so the but it's always there .
They can only have it for a certain amount of time . They can go back to my . Else can do it . So people keep making money . It's one producer he was talking about it make like 40,000 a month on this because he was making . It just .
He just up those , beats people , they want them , they license them and they like before a period of time and then he , I'll be a Sam Ash tonight making a beat machine , all right .
You like music . Yeah , I'm like . Okay . Well , here , let me I know what beats I like , shit me . If I like them , hopefully somebody else like them , let's throw them up there . Well , I'm a 1500 this month . You know that's , it's a little something extra .
I mean that's just how it is now , though it's , it's , it's Tell that dreamy is everything upload now . Yeah , you know , you almost have to . Just how do you copy writer beat , you know I mean and that's something .
That's when you make it , it's why you , that's why it's good to have , ask , have and all that already .
So look this beat , this beat that you made right here . What , uh ? So now what if somebody wanted to where , somebody wanted to buy it , or something ?
If I , that's places that I could put it . Mm-hmm and then because , before I gave it to y'all , I'd sold it twice .
Okay .
To some local rappers , one in Atlanta , one in Chicago . Okay , I 300 a piece . Okay and no , it is what it is . But you can check that some people have prices , so they'd like okay , you give me 300 , I'll let you use it . If you give me 1500 , I'll give you the exclusive rights to right Right .
So more you pay , you know then , so somebody gave you like 20 grand , you go out , oh that's your , that's sure , that's sure yeah .
I worry about nobody else getting yeah right .
What if it's already out ?
there , then whatever is up with it on there there are fine to take it down , okay .
Okay , okay , huh .
Even if someone bought it because it'd be more here . But see , that's what I'm saying , if it was bought beforehand , but it was like least like you didn't buy , because if it was bought , beforehand and then I sell it to somebody else and that's , that's some illegal shit on my part .
But if if I , if I gave it to you , like at the least that means at some point , if I , even if I want to take it back , yeah . I can take it back or you can pay me more money to keep using it .
But if somebody comes along like , oh , I like that they pay them , they pay some racks for it and they , but they don't , and they don't want to know , no , no , where else than wherever else it is legally , they can have that taken .
So Hmm , I will always get confused because again .
I'm not in the music industry .
I don't know nothing about how all the industry works . But you know , when people talk about clearing samples , right , I understand what a sample is right , right . Right , so like computer love computer love , you know . You know people sample other people's music . Say for instance , your beat Someone you hear it somewhere else , that you didn't that , didn't sell it .
You know you didn't sell it to and you're sitting here like , hey , that's that sounds like my beat . How does that work ?
could you sit there you saw , follow , complain or assume my beat that's why I figured out you have to have as cap and all that okay , what's that Cuz ?
that's , that's , that's that's music copyright .
Okay , that way you can .
I've heard tank and Jay Valentine talk about it .
Cuz that's how songwriters Cuz you know you , you register all of that with them so that if it's hard you ain't even got to be the one to hear it . Somebody in the power that be here like that sounds a little familiar .
And then actually you know if somebody getting the season to sis lateral or you know you breaking copyright infringement laws , right other things , because if something cuz , but a lot of times what it is , as long as what you're doing is not making money From the use of something , people don't trip so hard , or some of them still do it just off the principle .
But if you , but if you , definitely if you make a money . That's why you rarely ever see mixtapes on streaming services because they're using other original beats so they don't want to make you . You know that so you can't .
That's why I was . I was always confused about mixtase because , yeah , you know , like jock weaves , someone you know wrapping over some singing- a little way . They're the way and they make a whole mixtape right .
Yeah , all them classic , as long as you don't sell it . Yeah , you're good . Yeah , you can't sell it , cuz once you sell it so I can write you gotta give . That's why , like , what's that song bound to right ? Kanye West , he makes the . He doesn't clear the sample .
Now he got to give the originals of that money , like when Nicki Minaj was trying to do Then remember her name , that's my mind . She had a song . It was a good song . It had nines on it . It was gonna come out on her album but it ended up not coming out because the sample didn't get cleared by Tracy Chapman . Well , we heard the song .
Tracy Chapman was like oh no , we , we soon for this .
So so the so so the so Tracy Chapman owns the masters .
Yeah , because that's so . If it's her original work and you use it and I'm talking about any part of it that's what's crazy because . Because most time when the person makes a beat , so I make a beat . I've made a lot of beats that got samples in it .
If I sell that beat to an artist , their artist have the responsibility now to clear that sample or they can't use it .
So so when you sample some , you're taking From the original music right . Yeah .
So so you're taking from the original music and and I'm and I watched the whole Wu Tang saga , so I'm listening to the RZA you know talking about yeah , and I need to get this clear before we can get this so You're taking from the original music , putting your flavor on it , right , whatever it is , beat drums , you know whatever it is .
Once that sample clears , now do you have to pay them To use their sample ?
depends on the artist . Some people make you . They charge you a fee , like the ID brothers , like he's gonna say he didn't , they really want charging like that . He said in some sense , sheets , they didn't want one of .
You know , they want to clear he said but if a man shows up with 250,000 , like I want to use this piece of your song .
No , do what . You , do what I'm gonna say . Yeah , go ahead now . Almost in on top of that , because Once I told us say you use a sample and it has words , so now that person you have to pay to clear that sample . Also , that person is credited on that song as a writer .
Yeah if that , if you use words from one of these songs , they credit on there as a writer , producer , so they , so they getting royalty there , fuck around , begin more royalties from it than you are .
So I don't use that if I'm , if I'm someone who's got something , I don't most let every sample clear , because now that's gonna take them back to the original . In my , in my mind , I'm like , oh , this sounds like something I used to hear . Oh , let me go find that that old somebody .
But you see , that's why most is , for the most part , most samples clear Mm-hmm like , because they do a lot of times . Like it was a real hot sample , the original might get a uptick in streams . Yeah because now people trying to see where it came from yeah , that's like that . I mean that's a well , that's all we do .
I thought it was a good thing about sampler , so be something that I like . I'm like anybody listening to this , but I was so about but I'll . But if you sample it , put in a beat , hip-hop beat that people listen to , you know , in a swing them around listen anything between the sheets , computer love Anything .
What's Puff ? Daddy had a few , some hot ones .
Yeah , a lot of them . Um , Puffy got a lot of sample track .
No , I love them all because I love them back then and I love them a lot .
You know what cuz every no Like . Like he said between the sheets yeah , so you hear , today was a good day .
Then now you know , that's I said .
I like Sam .
That's one of that's why Kanye West was one of my favorite producers just because he sampled so much yeah yeah , especially when a when they kind of any stuff you ain't even think about pays homage to some of the older Just some of the older stuff You're like okay , you know what I'll take it .
Yeah , I like it , yeah , yeah , listen to this woman's work Of what ?
tank , tank . Yeah , I did .
Maxwell who did it before him .
But the Kate Bush getting paid off exactly yeah , oh yeah . Oh , run up that hill . Who it's just a song called run up that hill . It's a very famous song , kate Bush . They use it in movies . Right right , she getting paid .
So she , so she originally did yeah what anybody sings it .
That's why Dolly Parton , everybody like , oh , she , she don't care that waiting he's to be came . You know , they and I will always love you .
She did . She's told Whitney , that's your song , oh yeah .
Yeah , she was like oh no no , it's she ever heard song because that's like Luther Vanguards had .
I heard a song one time I was like wait , who God , oh man , I forget what song was in . Luther Vanguards redid it Way better .
Sometimes it'd be like that , cuz some songs just fit other people like and I like Dolly Parton live .
But if I Like you , like Whitney Niggas , stop it .
I like Never coming back again .
We keep it a little on it on here .
I like Dolly Parton too , but I'm saying I like Dolly Parton a lot , you like .
Niggas , if you hear , that's what we like . On Dolly Parton .
If you hear Whitney Houston's singing that song and you heard Dolly Parton sing that song , it's like I never , knew she even sang .
It's a no brainer ?
I didn't know either , till I heard Dolly Parton singing .
I still ain't heard . I swear to God , I still ain't never heard it .
Why is Dolly Parton selling with Houston ?
¶ Discussing Music, Money, and Dreams
But I was saying to they say about like you know who's loving you . Like Smokey Robinson is my favorite artist of all time , right , mm-hmm , but Him singing who's loving you and the jacks of fire singing who's loving you , and please hey See , he told the story about that .
He said he had got mad Cuz he was like man , how was he at the time ? Was he 12 , 9 , 10 , 11 , like that ? You gonna have some 10 year old boy , what the hell ? You know what he doing ? They said he started singing and he said Never mind my bad , cuz he don't know nothing about love break or any of that stuff .
He just singing lyrics to a song and he killed him Waco jack-o .
Well , that was before he was Waco jack-o .
Yeah .
I love Michael Jackson . Good , next , great , there'll be a lot of songs .
Like you will hear multiple artists sing them .
Yeah , yeah , yeah , somebody just sings it better . Yeah , no , it is a lot of songs like that . You start hearing like , who put that ? Remember you put up . Oh yeah , dude . You was like when . You was like oh , when a old chick , oh , oh when a young chick , a young chick dates a old , older man and the song they was listening to .
She starts singing something else and that's almost like what would who ? Sam ? What's the ? Uh Uh ? Girls are players too .
Oh , coil Ray .
What ? What samples that from ? I can't see it right now .
But you , you hear it , you to go puffy sampling it .
I just cute sample it I .
Thought it was someone else . Who did she think it was ?
Because I know I heard the song oh . Hey , y'all gotta look that up . Who else who's ?
uh , and that's how the sample . Um , there was boss clothes talking about the message , grandmaster flash .
Yeah , yeah .
Yeah , ice cube , sample it .
Yeah , yeah coffee .
Sample it , cause it's been on so many and that's like what the beginning hip-hop , but it's been sampled right right .
Oh yeah , dennis , at work , that's .
Just like if you ever be in the club or and that song was it called G Alice or whatever the hell he called it , but when it first comes on , it comes on so much like hey , listen by juvenile , so everybody think it's yeah yeah , I Be a hot mess in the club right now .
Be like , oh man , they playing Dennis at work . Then you like wait .
Hold on like who is this ?
But no , I do . I , like you know , some of them , young people , a Singing , some of the music and all that .
If it's done right , I like it . Yeah , yeah , like you said , you playing you to me , you're just paying homage , right .
And that's what I think you just like they probably heard their parents singing it , yeah so that's like you know , we're gonna sing it too , is it is . This is some good stuff , man . But no , I did . I always just wonder like , how ? Like , okay , so you write a few bars , I'll add cuz it was . It was a song that somebody wrote .
I Forget who they was talking about , but it was , you know , taking Jay Valentine . There's somebody just added something . But what I need to know is we're going to get some music people on here . How do you determine what you wrote , what I wrote , like where we get paid ? Yeah , that's what I never understood that .
Yeah , that's on the way to they break it down and when do I get my money . So you know when you getting your money . You know when you getting your money you like , we all have jobs .
You know when you get paid so I know , like for features you just pay , so like if I , if I want drink on .
Yeah .
But yeah , as far as the credits and stuff and getting paid off a song coming to mail .
Yeah , just go to the . You just go to the damn mailbox . One day you got some money from ASCAP .
So they break it down . They break it down based on percentage and stuff .
They break it down into percentages . Yeah okay , so now I think , like writers have like a higher percentage than other people , and then and it just broke it's broken down into a certain type of percentages and then it's all confusing .
And right now want to know who's painted . Then I also want to know what if I don't pay . I'm just saying I know . So I know it's all on good faith or whatever , but you drop a Drop some bars for me , and then I'm just like Then he's still waiting on this check .
I know you can be like I ain't never working with you sell a CD and they were some CDs CDs 15 dollars , so artists might get a dollar fifty of that so now you got a change . So if he goes or Shit . Let's say 75 cent of a fifteen dollar CD . So then you know that CDs going Hundred thousand so now you're here . You got an idea number , number .
Yet you're going to sell 200,000 , so $1.50 of each , each CD . You know times 200,000 , you know to 2.5 million , I don't know but um yeah , nah . I mean it's interesting , it's interesting .
