#203 - JID

Four years? Right? Four years and some change? Fakely like I will say three you know what I'm saying, because I dropped November like twenty eighteen. Yeah, so about three. Yeah. Then that whole year we toured, like the whole twent nineteen we tour, and then twenty twenty came did the Grammys because of the spill because of the Revenge Project came out two nineteen. Obviously you got the Grammy. And then twenty twenty we're supposed to go to Japan. It's

supposed to go on to tour in Tokyo whatever. And then and that's when I really started working on the album. You know what I'm saying about my regognizance. You know what I'm saying. I started working on it, so you started like twenty like your process has been like a two year process kind of Yeah. And I've been dropping so much work since. You know, the Conway record is crazy. Yeah, that's my dog. It's hard. You got one of them ones from him too, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So yeah,

I don't see it like that. You know what I'm saying, just the circumstances of the world. I'm sure it would have came out of twenty twenty without minus the state of the world. Of course. Talk about your relationship with with with Conway. Obviously you hopped on Scatterbrain, which is close to going gold it is. Yeah, I just talked to him earlier last week. I think it's going to go gold soon. Did you get I know he did that on TV? Did you were you on TV with

him when he did that? Yeah? Yeah, we did it on I believe it was falling. When you see someone like Conway or just in general, like an MC that you feel like, is you know one of them once? Like do you feel like kind of like you know as like almost like a Jedi relationship with like certain rappers, you kind of got to like reach out and be like, yo, I see what you're doing. Yeah, we I feel like we tapped in and maybe twenty eighteen just on some

like mutual respective. I feel like it was around the time I did like the funk flesh free style, and ever since, I feel like we've been tapped in super solid dude. But all of them guys over there, you know what I'm saying, Ben west Side, like body, all of them, They're amazing. I love all these incredible. I love all of them. So I feel like my comedy too, is he with them? Yeah, my commys with them. Crazy. You know on the streets there's a lot of crazy

Stove got Cooks, Martie Caesar. Yeah, they got adult camp over us. I just respect it. I like movements like that when it's like super based in like the the pure form of like hip hop. I would say, you know what I'm saying, one of my favorite new artists who relatively new. I mean it's been doing the same. But I love Kenny Man and you got Kenny on

this uh this drop that just just came out. Obviously somebody from from atl somebody who I think somehow was a little underappreciated, you know, but it's I feel like I'm gonna have a crazy career ahead of him. Just talk about like linking up with Kenny Man and just kind of, you know, shine some light on on on him in general, because I feel like he's he's one

of them ones as well. Yeah, she's dope real. I'm just like a super fan of like Atlanta, you know what I'm saying, Just just what that whole scene brings. So I'm like super supportive or whatever, even if some people may hate it or whatever. Like I'm just super supportive of it. This sounds just coming from the city. So there's a lot of upcoming artists that I like, I show love to, you know what I'm saying, just because it needs that light being shined. You know what

I'm saying. I got blessed with the opportunity with somebody like shine a light on me. You got me to this point where I'm talking to you, you you know what I'm saying, So I just try and do my part. It ain't even too much thought into it, you know what I'm saying. If you talented, like you're from the city, like I'm doing this this black and white for real, give me some of the background. Obviously, Spillage Village is a crew. Before you guys were everyone was signed. You

know what I'm saying. You give me the dynamics because it was at the house everybody was living in. Was it. Shout out to Maria, shout out to black, shouts to everybody who's involved. Give me kind of like the breakdown of of of like the roots of Spillage Village because it's like almost like y'all are like low key, like very reminiscent of the Dungeon family coming out of the a you know what I mean. It started with me and Earth Gang. We literally said, hey, we should be

a collective. You know what I'm saying. We was going to school at the same time in Virginia, so we're able to do but cook for sure. That's amazing. I love that reference. Shout out the push that or who said that, that's that's malice. Yeah, that's malice. Amazing. But yeah, we was all up in through Virginia, but I got kicked out of school, so like trying to figure out

what's next. He was like, let's start this collective. Like he's really was already wrapping together fakely in the dorms, like trying to figure out how to put it together. But then we said, let's put it together, me and Earth Gang, so we started it. And then we had the homies like Hollywood Jab and Jordan Bryant like they brothers. They were just amazing. And then Mariba and Black was just like we knew them from the city, did shows around the same type of little scene we had, and

then it just all worked out. It was really family, you know what I'm saying. We all lived in the same house at the time. Period was just sleeping on couches and stuff like that now Marie, but more so because you know what I'm saying, shit lady, but all the boys we used to rough it, you know what I'm saying, college doing room style, Like what's like, what's that crib like with you Earth getting Black? Everybody in the crib? Is it like everyone's always recording? Is like

what like what is that like? Yeah, it wasn't like you know what I'm saying. We was moving around. We wasn't just sitting in the house recording. So some days like somebody be on the me. I wake up every morning got right to it before anybody. I'm up six in the morning with it. But everybody's moving around doing different things, and we just tried to find time to make music together and then like separately, we had to make our projects to get us the individual like you

know what I'm saying. So it was it was kind of organized, it was kind of mature. It's hell because he knew what he was going for nah, and it worked out. I feel like it. I feel like there's not enough. I feel like people don't know that story enough because if you think about everybody's really doing their thing, everybody signed, everybody likes Black, Like the first guy that really kind of popped off, Yeah, Black killed it three

Black was fucking classic, fucking insane bro. And I just saw it in him, like I saw the trajectory of where he was gonna go, just off his work ethic and just how he used to move around. Like, do you have any intel on it when he's gonna put out a new album because it's been a while. No, I ain't got too man, I'll be on it though I'm beyond it. I say that. I'll tell you this.

The lvr N guys have come through here with like three artists in the last two months, and every time they come, I'm like, guys, what is going on with the black shit? We need a new I feel like the last album was twenty nineteen. What's it twenty eighteen? It might be eighteen, yeah, might be eighteen. It feels like it feels like a while at least it got to be. I think it's eighteen. You obviously are very distinct.

You're very unique in your delivery. I feel like, in a world in which we have so many artists that sound alike or at least very you know, influenced by each other, I feel like you're kind of quite the opposite. Who would you say you grab inspiration from, whether it's old heads or you know shit you grown up growing

up listening to, or new shit. It really like bounced around, Like my number one inspiration in music from when it came to me, Like at a time when I needed it was like a group called Little Dragon, Little Dragon from Gothenburg, Sweden, Bros. Like my favorite group in the world. Word Yeah, Like I was going through something crazy and I found in music and it helped me even become a better writer. Better The music in English ers and it's in English and it's super soulful. You know what

I'm saying, pop funk. He's not like rap ship, but it's great sounds. And and then of course like all the mega hip hop people we know, of course jay Z like little Wayne like these are my like I'm curious, who's who's on your like mount rushing out like give me your five like no, no order. You don't got to give you an order because that's where things get

kind of hairy. You're like jay Z Wayne where your cast has one little dragon and sliding and family Stone or D'Angelo like they're super Okay, we're talking about MC's here. Oh we gotta talk about rap. We're talking about rap. Okay, straight rap. So jay Z Wayne outcast is one. It gets tricky, right, it does get tricky, Wayne Hove outcast so farward you three for three sweat shirt earl sweat Shirt's got crazy right, Wow, it's tough, you know. Yeah, one more you feel think like a lot of names,

Look at the names. What are some names going through your head? Like the like like of course different vibes. Was y'all seen Bay Like it's so many people that I just like love so much. Yeah, you have, you have your scene bay Aka are formerly noticed Most Depth on the project crazy, that's crazy, hear that first? I have not. I have not yet, but let me tell

you something. I just had a Conway. Me and Conway are riding around in Denver last week and we're listening to Respiration by Black Star and we're going back and forth about live quality versus Most and I was like, I love Tyler, that's my guy. But I'm like, I

don't even think it's a discussion. I think Most Death, Like if Most Death like applied himself and hip hop, he'd be like ship Man, you gotta think like black we got black on both sides and Black Star and then what was the name of the album that came out like a few years later where he had the ship over his face had sunshine on there. But I feel like he always was one foot in, one foot out with the rap shit. Like imagine if he really was like dug In, it would have been crazy. Yeah.

I heard Chappelle say, like, even the way he moves just like super brilliant too. I think because I heard Chappelle say something like artists don't want you shouldn't want to be a commodity. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I feel like that's like kind of a powerful ass statement to accept, you know what I'm saying, commodities or like water, like right, all

of the shit that you need. But it's just like, no, you don't want to be seen is that you want to be seen as like one to one or you want to be seen as a fingerprint, snowflake or some shit. No, it's kind of deep to me. I think you're doing a pretty good job of that. Yeah, for sure, my favorite artists are consistent, but it's more so in their product, you know what I'm saying. They're not always in your face, but when they come they come up with that shutters

that's what that's That's what I love about it. Yeah, I love artists drop a lot consistency as well, like a lot of trap artists like stay on it, like that stay bag and that ship is beautiful. It's I love it, you know what I'm saying. But it's just different ways to skin a cat. Who where do skinny cat come from? That's kind of crazy to say I'm skinner cat. Skinner cat. Do you know anyone who's skinned cat. I think it'll be a hard fucking task too. My

cats are crazy, you know that. I would say I would fucking I'll take a fight with a dog over a fucking tom depends. It depends on the type of dog though, because dogs get busy. Okay, like a golden lab give me the golden airbuod. You're gonna fight airbhood. I'll fight airbud over fucking Jerry Bros. Tom Tom. Cats are fucking and they're quick as their ninjas and they got the claws. Bro. I name my cat. Frank Ocean, do you have a cat? Would you consider your off

a cat? Person? I hate his ass, but we just got like a more faster things Like it's like he be doing ship like it's my shorty cat, So nigga get on the tallest part of the whatever. Yeah, just standing there like you just at the top of prime rock, like he's overlooking the peasants Like this is just so y'all know this is my ship and ship like that. So different. But the person, Frank Ocean, Yeah, do you have a dog as well? I had a dog passed away,

rough man. I'm a huge dogs as a turtle name turtle. Turtles lift they're supposed to kind of. So this is we went to a fair or some ship and got a small little turtles. You know when they give that's the corner. Yeah, oh yeah, we got it. Anywhere you're going and they're selling animals on the side of the streets and they just giving these bitches out. It's like like, we can't get these off. These joints are sick. Take

the turtle. Gave us this one turtle. We keep the turtle for a couple of weeks, feeding all of this stuff. But I started doing research and they say these turtles need a companion or they will it's off themselves. So in the next couple of weeks, nigga stop eating, started making little turtle noise, and then you start putting his head under the you know you got the little at the bottom of the tank. His nigga was in pure loneliness, like he committed suicide. It was the sadish I seen turtle.

So it was the sad shit I ever seen in my life. I'm talking about in the span of like three days, four days, he was just like I'm done. He just killed himself. He's like, I'm not eating where's my girl, where's my Where's anything? I just need to knock around some stuff. I know. If the cat's Frank Ocean, who's the turtle? His name was Turtle, just turtle. I respect that. I don't feel like I don't feel like you're amphibian, right? Turtles? Amphibians? There? What the fuck is

it is? What a reptile? What the fuck is the amphibian and a lizard? A frog is an amphibian? Okay, Okay, Turtles reptiles, they don't hear. I don't feel like they. I feel like they only see like heat. When I was a kid, I had a box turtle and I named him Fat Joe. That's hard. I'll be knowing my shit knowing.

the interview. Yeah, so you know how how old was your dog? When your dog passed away? I actually don't know. It was crazy. He was trying to find like this is the crazyt door. This is maybe like three four years ago. We was trying to get a bull mastive. Got on Craigslist, got the dog for like sixty bucks. Said it was a bull mastive. It wasn't. Nigga was anything but a bull mastive. It could have been mixed with cat far as I know, but he uh, I don't know how sixty bucks for a bull mastive feels

like a little low. It was just rough times, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know what, Yeah, I trust this guy sixty dollars even though it's probably like a two thousand dollars dog. That's a huge, two thousand dollar dog, and it was supposed to be way bigger. He just had big palls, you know how they say big palls, especially if it's a puppy that'll be like, look at his pause, it's gonna go up to be huge. That dog was not it. He was not him, but he lived for maybe I don't know. He ran away

and then never seen him again. So I just he might still be out here, man, he might be out here doing his thing. That's running it up. Yo. When it comes to your album, I saw the artwork. Uh, the artwork is crazy. Give me kind of like the whole concept but behind the title and the artwork. So this project is, uh, it's a sequel. I love doing sequels because I like movies and shit. So I feel like if it's a good first movie, like I want to see the second Okay, so I was like that.

So I've been doing that my whole career, just making them a sequels. This was just like if you look at the first cover, it was animated drawing out a bunch of chaos, almost Where's Waldo, But you see a lot of like trauma and black issues and stuff like that, cops, football players, basketball players, people in jail. And then we decided to bring this cover to live action, to like

to real life. So we got even like some of the family members that represented some of these places, some of my sisters, some of my brothers, my cousin, friends, and and then just other people who just could feel those roles, and we brought it to life. And it's just kind of showing like even if you see like where I'm placed at in the first when I'm kind of like on the outside, but I'm still close to the center, and it's when I'm like dead in the middle.

It's kind of like representing like where I see myself at this point in my life. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, I left, did all the torn and stuff, made success for myself, whatever my mom would say, and when I come back, it's kind of like I see the same things. You know what I'm saying, This was kind of like a representation to do my mind set. Yeah, I think chaos. I think. I feel like artwork nowadays is like very my I just feel like people don't put enough thought

into their ship. Well, so when I see like your ship, I'm like, damn this this is crazy or so shout out to you. Even like like a guy like west Side Boogie his his artwork is what's crazy on his album Crazy album too. By the way, shout out to Boogie Baby Taits on the project She's Fire. I just met her in Miami. She's an amazing shout out to her. She had. I asked her who was her all time trap artist, and she did not include Gez Gez or Ti Crazy. I was a little I was a little thing.

She said, Scooter Fire. You're really Atlanta girl. Know Scooter is fucking incredible. Gucci obviously the egos and said owe me a birth. I'll say you owe me a birth. I don't know why I can't think of the guy's name. Make the trap say a we signed a Gucci ju juice man, oh j the juice Man. Mm hmmm mm hmmm. Where would you put like your if you had. We're talking about trap trap music Atlanta. Mm hmm. I mean of course like T I like the it's T I g Z Yeah, yeah, in that order, in that order,

just because TI trap music. That's a staple who's got more classics. But I'm not doing it. I'm not answering it's Geez. I think it's Geezy. I think you got I'm pleading in fifth all right, only because random question. Would you take uh TM one on one or the recession one on one? Easy? But the recessional session was amazing, But I'm taking in one one is just minded me of a time period in Atlanta, holding the wall party

like just some young ship. So we gotta fill it out. Well, you said, uh T Cheezy still got guys out there like Gucci. Gotta say Gucci. I don't go the little baby of that already, let's go baby. I've never seen somebody improve so drastically at rapping so fast, don't you agree? Like he's nudy was my last one? Yeah, shot out to Nudy. Nudy also someone that doesn't get enough flowers nationally,

at least little baby. Though you're a fucking m c's MC hasn't been crazy to see just how impeccable he's gotten. Like at this rapping ship, this what he's made for. It's so it's so impressive. You could tell when it's somebody, you know what I'm saying. I could tell this was his calling because he went from like being like really open to be like yeah, Gunner like helps me help me start to write and ship, and like now he's like top tier, don't miss He deserves it though, Yeah,

he deserves it, really gifted. So we said, offset o you a verse? Anybody else will your verse? Now that's my dog. I'm just no, no, no, no, no no verse? Uh is there? I mean this is the quintessential. Is there going to be another Dreamville compilation? Question? That'll be smart? Yeah, you know what I'm saying, that'll be smart to do that. The last one was so epic, and if we brought it in hone it in Moore, just about make it more so about the collective, you know what I'm saying.

It's a lot of outside Yeah, we just a couple of features here and there, just make it about the collective. It'd be way. It was so good though, man, he was I tell Eve. I was like, bro, the fact that you because I know that y'all pulled from He pulled from so many records, and I was like, bro, the fact you're able to pull from so many different joints and make like, I'm sure a scattered creative process sounds so cohesive, so many different artists. This thing good

guy for sure. Man on the album rapping he was on the albump what Yeah, don't forget I said that, just listen for He sounded like m F doom on God. You got Ibrahim rapping his bos on the song too. You're doing like you got Boss on the album? Right, yeah, you know like backgrounds and you know what I'm saying, Yeah, I love Boss now that he's like kind of in It's like melodic bag that's what. Yeah. Like he killed the Cold album Facts Facts. I love his party. When

I was like, who the fuck is this? I said, should, I'm like, you got a new pocket? What? Yeah? You ah, craig me if I'm wrong. You were on like a kind of like a pop tour or is that? Oh? I was going around doing shows. Imagine dragons, Imagine dragons. What was that like? Bro? You know I'm just saying because an imagine Dragon's concert is like a whole different world.

It's a serial, like a serious level of Caucasian that goes to those shows and album definitely like the minority and the biggest regard, you know what I'm saying, So I fuck with it. Though they got some anthems, yeah, you like they literally have stadium music one. You heard that shit in Target. You heard it in commercials and commercials everywhere in the movies and soundtracks and all of that stuff. It's crazy, bro, It's just a whole other

level of performing. It teaches you, like I shouldna say that has to really like you gotta cut your teeth going into a crowd that's probably not there for what you're bringing to the table. All arenas, uh. But our song is one of their biggest songs ever, you know what I'm saying. It's probably I think it was the fastest to reach the heights of you know what I'm saying. I don't know, to the heights of eight, But that's a big as hell, so they know who I am.

Like every time I performed it is roaring applause. It's crazy, like just making sure like even the way I'm wrapping on, I'm rapping super fast, so it's just like me doing twenty six seconds of like and I'm out of there, but they don't know. It helped me become a better performer. I would say who reached out was someone in the group that was just a fan of you, that was like, yeah, like Dan Reynolds, he's the lead singer. I feel like he was a fan. He told me that he was,

and it was done through the label. The label reached out, though I think it was because of you. Fuck with me. When people chop and they do the I feel like, sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes there's guys like Ritz from Quinnett County who could rap really fast and say incredible things. Tech nine is really good at that. But then sometimes it's like unbearable. It's it's like really unbearable, you know what I actually, I'm just like this. I hate I hate it though, like this is who I am. I can't,

I wouldn't. Would you? Would you listen to your own album? Yes? She is fire, Yes it's some nigga shit. Can't comment on that, no idea what you're talking about. But and I respected it all, but I it's kind of crazy. I don't be like really delving into it. If I notice is your niche. I don't think it's my niche. I think I could just do it. I just do it, like you know what I'm saying, effortlessly, effortless. I'm not trying to rap like this. My name is jittery for

a reason because I'm just like my brain. But I don't really aim for that style of music, right, or I wouldn't even say rap is the first thing I will play on in my car. Yeah. I feel like Eminem for being like one of the greatest rappers of all time. I don't like any raps like that. It's not for me. What's current? Call too out? Now? Oh God? Did you listen to Eminem growing up? I used to love staying listen to He's a great first three albums,

like first three albums great, Yeah, yeah, all of the craziness. Yes, that's the g unit ship that whole era. But I was I wasn't like super am I like what it was Eminem like super prominent two thousand and fucking two until I mean no, no, technically like ninety nine, ninety eight, ninety nine, un two and at this time I'm really like at this age, I'm really like catching up on I'm in a New Orleans sound. I'm really four hundred degrees all of that. Hey, listen, let me tell you something.

You know what one of my favorite albums is of all time? I got that work by the Big Timers. Wow, that is bro id bro spoken about. You understand that it wasn't on DSPs until like four months ago, and now it's on fucking I don't know. There's a lot of old cash money shit that's just in the air somewhere. I'm looking for the member of the song on Tuesday and Thursday, you gotta w I'm looking for the album with that on it. I cannot find. It's like Tuesday

and Thursdays. It's like, uh, like the many Fresh first solo album is not available. The Birdman album with what Happened to That Boy? Was that? Do you remember that artwork by the way, with the half Oh my god, it's kind of crazy. It's so crazy to think that that was like flying back there, like like those those like old school Southern covers with the but that was that one was egregious. The Birdman album cover was egregious.

It was insane, but I used to love them old covers with like the How Boys Amazing or like the Silk the Shocker charges to the game. I used to never be the biggest slish Well he was a terrible rap to him. I respected him because master p like this your brother give. I think Silk the Shaker is the best worst rapper of all time or or platinum. He's the worst worst went platinum before streaming, so we

can't even hit him with that. And he was and he was uh romantically involved with Maya in about in ninety eight, so God bless him, salute kudos him and Maya had some joints. Silk he was in a video in a white jacket and on the snow slopes and ship you know, early cash money was the best. Fuck yeah bird, that's big timers though. That's the album Get Your Role on Man, one of our favorite songs of all time. Damn fucking man. I feel like they still

play that's in like commercials, right, I think? So? I love that ship. Yeah. So this album, are we gonna have another drop off in terms of just bodies of work from you? Because you feel very intentional when you drop music. See I've been working on like a couple of albums in this time period. So we're gonna spend the block again. You're gonna spend the block that's solo. Yeah what about I was like Spills the Village coming out? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

we definitely. I've been trying to like get us pushed us in itation. I think we can get some We just gotta find everybody's schedule and get together and do it. A lot of moving parts, a lot of moving parts. But I know it's uh another album. I know it's damn near tour, Like we need to tour off of these these probably we've been dropping. So yeah, yeah, I definitely got a tour. Yeah yeah, I mean I feel like with you, like your live because I've seen you

live before. I feel like the live aspect of what you bring to the table is so important. Wasn't frustrating and like not being able to perform hit the road? Yeah? Yeah, of course that was. And it's like most artists made, like mainstream of income is just torn and festivals and merch and you know what I'm saying. Of course you gonna see you may see some streaming money or whatever.

I guess you know how this shit works. But I just know, like most of the artists, touring is the income, so that shit probably hit people in different type of ways. It ain't fucked me up too bad because I toured the whole twenty nineteen, Like we did almost three hundred shows in a year with three hundred and sixty five days. You know what I'm saying, So you kind of got a little bit out of your system. I got it,

I got it out. I did my major torn in twenty nineteen, and twenty twenty was just like when everything stopped in twenty one, everything came back and now we're here. Did you ever catch the covid? Uh? Once? Once? Once? It was a mild it was my maybe a few days costs and sneeze. I was that bad. You know what's crazy is like monkey Pock's not as deadly as COVID, but everyone's a lot more freaked out because that ship looks crazy. It looks that's how you know, how everybody is.

So everyone's so vain, they're like, I don't give a fuck that once give me the ship that could kill me. I try to look crazy. That is I didn't even peep that, but that is I can't even post on Instagram for how many months? What months? No? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't Okay, it just looks wild, ye like you low he can't leave the house. You could leave the house with COVID. You're a piece of shit if you did it. Yeah, it's supers better, but you could and no one would know

that monkey pox. You're at the fucking gym with monkey pox. Motherfucker. Don't call the police on you. Bro'n jesus yo, Uh, give me some insight, man, obviously. Uh. Being signed to Dreamville is the gift is amazing, right because I feel like they are a label that has the highest uh integrity when it comes to who they sign. I truly believe that. I feel like calling Eve when they signed somebody. It is never short sighted. It is all a ways.

First of all, they develop artists and they always see the long play is the downside every interview you do, so would ask you a Jake Cole question, by the way, only Jake Cole question of the interview. No, No, I don't, good guy, cool dude. Yeah, you ever played basketball? Like y'all ever fucking I play one of the tours you shout around like, got a little game going to the gym. I feel like it was in Virginia kind of crazy

because huh, you got to throw that in there? Got to well, yeah, I hooked around with him a little bit. I ain't no really no football. I ain't no basketball at all? What we played football with him before? Did you play football in high school? Yeah? High school and college? What were you play in college? Any school in Virginia? Way? None of yep? What's your team Falcons? How you feeling? How you feeling with Mariota? Is it Mariota? It is Marioda And we got ridder Rider? Is somebody drafted? He

just came in. I feel like he would do Cincinnati. They did Calvin really dirty or or I mean white white. Let me ask you why you said that. First, he gambled on a game that he had not I mean, he shouldn't have gambled on the game. But he got suspended for a year, a whole year. And Deshaun Watson's out here getting the habitual rubbed downs and got six six games. Does the NFL hate women? You'll not say. I can't say that. Think about ray Rice, Kareem Hunt, easy,

Kareem Hunt, Ezekiel Elliott. All those motherfuckers played like he would know Ezekiel Elliot ship was what minimal mine got. Calvin really bet on a game and it wasn't even I don't think think it was like anything crazy a whole year. Bro fucked up my fantasy ship. Bro, Oh that's your beat. Let's get you play the root of it. Do you play fantasy foot I did it the first time last year. I think I don't know if I'm

a good GM I would be a better coach. I thought I'd be good at it because I know personnel and players and shit, but it's more of about like this. It takes up a lot of time. Couldn't do it. So I lost it on What was the draft? Like? Did you have an in person draft? Because because my

favorite part that falling ship. The best part about fantasy football is when you get together with your friends and you just say just domeaning things to them, canceble things even you know, while you're in the same room you got the fucking easel with the fucking thing and you're writing the fucking things down. There's wings, there's beer, you know, and then you know when someone drafts like I just

love just just putting down my best friends. It's actually my favorite thing to do when they pick a yeah, like what the fuck are you doing? Or some new motherfucker who picks like a kicker in like the ninth round, and I'm like, bro, you know you could have just waited until the end for that. Give them the time. Why do you have three defenses? Like what's going on? That's yeah, yeah, shout out to the fact. I'm a

Cardinals fan. So she's harry for us right now because Kyler Murray seems to be you know, he got paid, thank god, hopefully now it's behind us because they put the clause in his contract where he has to study. That's racism. That's pure blatant racism. Ah. You know what I love the NFL with. There's some moral things I can't even really stand with that. The black man can't even really have to like the shun he's a different thing.

But I think I think that Shawn just all these black quarterbacks and stuff like that, Like they're trying to give them a little claust and stuff like that, right right, right, right, that's I think that Deshaun Watson is probably just a single man. I kind of don't even want to talk about him. Well, I was disgusting me for I don't even you know, he might just like a rubbing tug. He might just love to get the tug, you know what I mean? Hey, when what's the owner of the Patriots,

Robert Kraft? Robert Kraft. They got photos of him believing I don't need meat meal coming from me, but Robert Kraft. No, but listen, Robert Craft, there's fucking pictures of him leaving the Robin tug. They couldn't, they couldn't. They didn't even suspend him. Let me tell you a funny story, crazy story. So at the Grammys, we sit next to Robert Craft. Oh, we tell them we focus from Atlanta. Brug tapsis whatever is holder. He pulled out the ring eighty three dimes

But I just did something that I ain't think a lot of people would expect and he went so crazy bro like spoke about ship. You know what I'm saying personal ship, and it just kind of moved me. I'm like, oh, you really like the voice. That's literally everything he says,

and that's what they say. Before you get out of here, can you shout out any up and coming mcs that you're just a fan of that you really feel like are maybe flying under the radar a bit.

I was listening to the other Day classic been age so well in the club, my twin twins say, Fred Girls, still trying to say it frat girls, Fred Fraternity. He's supposed to alreaty, but that's

just a little inside. I just thought about it, but that's my dog. So they could do a community college thing. They could. The Niggas whole brand is like college fun, community good good good sitcom. By the way, Chevy Chase, Donald Donald Glover. Last question, you said you're big on movies. You're very much in tune with the with with with movies, acting, et cetera. Give me your three movies. If you're on an island, you can only take three movies with you.

What are the what are the flicks were taken? Man? Mm hmm, all right, so we're gonna go Roots. Okay, Roots, of course I'm talking about Yes, it's like so many of them. That's a crazy choice, crazy choice to take on an island. I'm sure watching just be mad all day. Roots. I'm down with that because if I'm on the island, would rather be mad, right yeah, because it's motivated to get off the island. Okay, fair enough, Yeah, so we go Roots. You know ti I was in the Roots.

They upgraded the movie. The movie came out of like nineteen sixth We know t I was in when it came out of like twenty eleven or something about to say he was a slave it's got crazy. But he was talking like t I of today. You gotta see it, you gotta see it. It was amazing. So he was hitting like with the ill the TI is killing that ship, but slave clothes. It was outside outside. But I would bring roots and I would try to bring that version too, because TI is crazy. I didn't even know there was

this version that's like you know that. Did you know there's a Belly too? Yeah, with the game terrible movie. I watched horrible movies and great movies all the time. Belly, Belly post yours up above you. It's the best worst movie ever. It's such a great movie. I don't know if I agree with that. It's so many epic movie, epic parts in that movie that's classic in our culture. That no. But storyline, no, no, I agree. Storyline Like,

as a kid, it's like my favorite fucking movie. But I grow up and I'm like, every time I rewatched Belly, I'm like, god, damn, this storyline was terrible. Boy. Listen, motherfucking the dude in Nebraska eating the banana, That's what did that. That's what popped off. D MX career is acting right? Was this before m already was already him. He was already him. Okay, number one album I did see. I'm talking about As far as acting though, was he acting before this? Was this one of his first rose

that got him into Romeos Exit Wounds? Was this? This was first? Yeah, that's what I mean. I think that what it didn't do was kick off NAS's acting career because he was god awful in It's It's like you you just gotta get out of here. He was talking to Oh, my god, we just gotta make it. I don't want to go to Africa. My god, t I was or navs was? It was not the Uh. He had no rules after day nonhing, none that we though about. Yeah,

he was in a movie called Ticker. I swear this is a straight to DVD like movie where he was in the movie for like two minutes and then they kill him. But you know, back in the day, they used to put rappers in movies so they couldut him on the artworks that people would rented and buy it. And I was the one who would rent in and buy it. And he was He was in it for two minutes. Wasn't Diddy and muscle Ball for two minutes? Yeah, he was in prison by the way, raised the song

Yeah, my sling blade, Billy Bob throwing well yeah, yeah yeah, the Harry Paul Hey Paul, Yeah, yeah, that was him.

That was great, bro. I just appeared problem with that and bass. Yeah yeah, I can't, I can't. I was halle Berry is a kill Bob not sick. So that was the second movie, not Sexy Man, second movie all time halle Berry's breasts were exposed. The first one was Swordfish with Hugh Jackman and John Bolta. Yes, I had it on VHS and I broke the tape because I paused on her tis so much. That is savage. So you got a little scratch on it. Oh yeah, I was like, sup A drink off this anymore? All right?

Apocalypto doesn't really have any like, isn't it like in like they're like in the jungle and there's Yeah, there's male gets in my end yep. Mel Gibson, had he not been such a piece of ship, one of the best directors. Amazing. He actually did that Jesus film too as well. Trust me, I'm a fucking I'm in high school on a date watching the fucking

what's that ship called the Jesus Ship? It's crazy? What was it called Passion of the Christ and I'm atheist. I don't give a funk about Jesus, but he made me give a fuck. Don't say that he made me care man. That was crazy right there. I'm a god fear man. I respect your right to be a god fearing man. I fear like my kids dying or something. You know, I have children. I fear them getting sick. I fear aliens in the ocean. There's you know, have

you ever done psychedelics? You know you're enough fucking psychedelics, you will believe you'll how about something there some inclination? How about this? I think, more recently, since I've been a little bit more awakened on the psychedelic tip, maybe I'm not an atheist. But I tell you what, I just do you believe in something? I tell you this.

I don't believe in any man made religion. I think it's all a way to control populations, control poor people, and it's big business and it's some of the most corrupt hypocrisy of all time. You know what I'm saying. So, yeah, I guess that's my stand. I would you I'm more of a I don't know, Yeah, but I've lived in a haunted house. So if I've lived in a haunted house. Then that means that there's some other ship called on

do you do? What do you mean he lived in a haunted house lived I lived in a house I was. I know it was on it. Bro We fucking wake up in the middle of the night and all the pots and pans would be out and all the doors would be open. Crazy thing. I bought a house and renovated, Renny. They had a funeral or a wake, Okay, you know what I'm saying. They showed him and I was always thinking about stuff I did, so he kind of freaked me out. You said it. No, for sure, it was.

Our house was over a Native American graveyard, so it's pretty fucking wild. The house that I during this era, though, my dad was smoking cracks, so it could have just put him in the middle of the night opened up, who knows. I don't know. Sure then it was never noticeable, you know, like he was like very functional, you know what I mean. And I think he just had his little bouts with it. But me and my me and

my best friends and liked the army anything. No no no, no no, no, no no. But me and my best friend ramses uh we were. He's like, yes, of Egypt, It's my best friend in the world. Rams is jar Rudy King Taylor. This do you like President Egypt the movie? Yeah? Good cartoon, keep going. So, uh we're like Thick and masterpiek ghetto dope era of Like my childhood, I had a no limit chain. I shoplifted a no limit clothing jersey from mister Rags, you know. And I'm going through

my dad's drawer next to his bed. I forget what me and Rams, I'm from Phoenix, Phoenix Hot place the cracks, and we found crack and my boy Ramas pulled it out and he was like, yo, this is the ghetto d Ship said, he's like smoking crack. What the fuck? Ship? But but but outside of that, and then my mom later on telling me, yeah, your dad smoke crack every once in a while for a little bit. But I never noticed it as a kid. It wasn't like he was like my dad was like a really hard working dudey.

He worked like NonStop. So he was probably the most functional crackheut of all time, one of them at least m HM lots of functional drug drug users. Anyway, Well, listen, man, this was fun. Likewise, bro, uh, I'm happier putting a new project that will by the time people watch this, it will already be out. So go run it up.
