Hey, youse, guys, it's mine to done. You can check me out on the butleg cav podcast.

Buelet Can't show Man.

We got a special guest in here from Brooklyn Mien.

The Don Big Don Welcome, thank you.

You're in town here in La. You were on tour with Flow Mili. This is your first tour. Yes, how many dayton are you?

Two dayton? And I'm having a good time?

So you like it so far?

I do.

It's hard work, it is. I'll wake up early, go to badly, do a lot of rehearsal right. Oh yes, I'm very anal about that. We rehearse every day.

I was gonna say, do you have like a like what's your live show? Like do you have dancers?

Do you have?

Yes?

Dancers DJ we go to Whole nine. It's very extravagant.

So the dancer thing is is it? Like do you guys go through like you find out you're going on tour, then you get your dancers together and you guys get the choreography popping or like how does that work?

I was wondering, Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes, like or just like oh we have this coming up, so we're going to prepare and how we prepare the.

Same crew with dancers always, Yeah, I work with the same thing. You just did the BT ciphers too, which was dope.

Yes, Yes, that was really cool.

It's always like I feel like if you're like a dope rapper, like that's one of the things that like really stamps you every year for sure, you know.

What I mean.

I feel like that shit is cooler than the XXL cover at this point, no disrespect, Oh why do you.

Feel like that?

I feel like if you're like a spinner, it's like, you know, I feel like the ciphers is what really kind of like they really put like the real like for sure.

A lot of people can't do a cipher.

That's okay though, right, and like like sometimes on the XXL, like you know, a lot of people can't do the cipher there, but they still do it. But like they're not great at rapping sometimes. I feel like the BT they curate it really well, is what I'm saying.

They respect that bars.

You know, and you're from Brooklyn, you better be able to rap, right, Hey, could you imagine if you were from Brooklyn and you couldn't wrap me?

Crazy? I don't know it's like it's in me, not on me.

That is one hundred percent. How long have you been spitting?

I've been rapping seriously for like a year and a half.

That's it.

Yeah, you started rapping during COVID, no after COVID, so maybe like a year seriously. What Yeah, but I've always like written songs You're like really good.

Thank you, thank you?

How does that work?

Because people, there's listen, I know forty five year old grown men, grown men, they're still trying.

All right.

I wrote every day, right, every single day, and I was a student. I listened to music, listened to who wrote, what found out the production? Like really just identified what makes a good rapper?

And why who was.

That that you were like, you know, listening to who were you studying everybody?

Everybody? I listened to my favorites.

Like at first I identified what I wanted to sound, like what do I why do I want to rap?

Like what is what is going to be.

A message, what's going to be your yet impact on hip hop, on female rap, on just being you know, creative as an individual? I identified that and then it was like easy, like I know I want I love Rick Ross, I want to be like a girl Rick Ross.

How I do that?

And I'm gonna listen to every single Rick Ross album, EP, mixtape, every feature, everything you know, and just listen to what fours and backwards? Okay, what women do I love?

Who?

You know?

What makes them phenomenal women in music? Not even just rap, you know, listen to Missy Elliott albums, Wars and backwards, like you know, just really identifying what it is that makes good music good music and then applying it to myself.

So would you say like Rick Ross and Missy were like the two kind of Rick Ross.

And jay Z for sure in terms of like substance, you know what I'm saying, Like Rick Ross makes me feel good, jay Z makes me feel good. Like they're like perfect rappers in my book, I agree, Like it's like five things people needs, Like, uh, there's like nas, jay Z, Rick Ross, Benning, the Butcher Conway, like Rhapsody, the you know that's people eve to me, Like it's just certain people that like has everything.

Raps, they don't get enough flowers because she wants.

She's crazy word an alien, She's an alien, Like she's crazy.

What's your favorite Rick Ross album?

Oh? I can't answer. That question. I can't answer that question. I just I can't.

I feel like Rick Ross albums are perfect, every single one. A couple of them are every single one. And I see, I'm not even gonna argue with you about that.

No, no, no.

Teflon Donna is a classic deeper than rap. It's my favorite though. But Teflon Donna deeper than rap are my two. It's one of them.

Two.

Uh.

Then he has some like Mastermind was cool, like he's got you know, God forbid, God forgives.

I don't like, Uh, Rick Ross makes great album.

Self made, the MMG shits for Fire Now.

Ross is great that. But my ship is Rich Forever. His mixtape, Yeah, Rich Forever was crazy, Like yeah, shout out to rose Man. One of the greatest of all time. I got him in my personal top ten.

Rik Ross don't get enough credit neither.

I say that all the time.

He don't get enough credit.

That's like, he's got one of the smoothest flows ever. He's got the best ear for production ever. Sure, and he's fucking Rick Ross.

Rick Ross is like he's just so expensive. Like I always say, Rick Ross can make you feel like your nineteen ninety two beater a Rose Royce year, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, he just makes you feel so expensive. He make you want to get up and stop being broke.

It's that beat. It's that beat selection, his beat sound.

It's something his voice it is so powerful, yeah, cinematic, it's so like he just he demands a room. He done mean's attention, and that's like what I want.

Have you had any any of your idols or any of the people that you studied like reach out to you.

Or yes, Kim Cardi they're all they're both so supportive and so so kind and sweet to me, like.

And their fans are kind of together. Yes, I've realized that because I said something before about little Kim that uh, people didn't like. I didn't even say anything too crazy, but nonetheless I got the brunt of the fans that were like they were like queen bees, is that what

I was like, good, look, yo, do you have a name for your fans?

Yes, Mafians? Is the mafia?

Oh, saying the Mafia.

The Mafia to ma?

You know, are they toxic?

I don't. I like to tell my fans, like be kind exactly, be respectful.

Not gonna be kind because you don't got to be kind to people. People to fuck with me, all right, that's cool, but you be respectful.

We here for me.

Just pay attentions to anybody else. You know what I'm saying, like support who support me? Everybody until they're not supportive.

And some of these toxic fans, I just wonder, like who are these people in real life?

Does that? Does that make sense what I'm saying.

I'm not about your fans, because you'll see some of these fans, whether it's like the Little Kim fans or the Barbs or just some of these human beings. They say things on the Internet that are so crazy. I just want to know what they do from like eight pm to four pm on a Monday, Like what are y'all do in real life, like, it's just crazy, like toxic. Did you see that show Swarm on Amazon?

I did see it. I did that shows crazy.

Crazy show. What do you watch on TV? What are your go tos?

I like like Murder and Mystery.

Of course you did. Is it sexist to say that? Like?

Why is that a woman thing? Like every woman loves that kind of shit. It's a little sexist, but it's also your.

Pussies, that's why.

But isn't that not true?

My wife, all her friends, everybody, I know, they all my mom, Oh my god, when my mom and my wife get together, they're just fucking binge watching serial killer shit.

Yes, I love it.

Shitty reenactments with shitty actors. Oh wow, they're interviewing the detectives.

It's just yeah.

I like stuff like that, or I like I like the show called Suits Now.

Suits that's got the girl who the what's the Megan Markle's in it right, Yeah, she's phenomenal because that's like an.

Older show that kind of just repopped, right, yeah, but.

It stopped in like twenty seventeen.

I want to it's good though.

Yeah. I really like.

Show like about Lawyers that I like.

I like stuff like that suits grays anatomy. What's the other one with Matthew Grey Googler that I can't think.

It's sick name right there.

I can't think of the show name.

But people, did you watch Scandal?

I like so like skim candles fire. Yeah, shout out to her. She's she's loveless man. What was her name on the show, Olivia Pope? Yes, the fixer? Yeah, you know, I don't ever want to be like successful enough to where I would need to hire someone like her. That's real as fun because Olivia Pope was just getting her hands dirty. Bro, Like I'm like, I don't want to be that important to ever have to call like Olivia. You know what I'm saying, Like real shit, that's some word. Yeah,

Well, is it about being successful? Was it because you sucking up? I don't know, doing dumb ship?

I don't know, bro, that's why you call Olivia because you're doing stupid ship.

That is true.

And then she was I kind of had like I was like, she's in the white guys, you know, as somebody who's a Caucasian who's into mellenated women.

I was like, I was like, hell yeah, and the president's taking that ship down. Let's go.

Oh my god, is that is that? Is that? Like is that like a niche thing? Is that? Like? No?

I mean, I just I so I'm married to a Mexican woman and my kids are half Mexican. I just don't. I'm not into anything. I'm not into white women at all. They're kind of like, I just don't. They just remind me of like my family, you know, like I don't want to fuck somebody who looks like my cousin, you know, like right right. So so also like white women are like it's like when you go to the candy isle and like there's all the packs of eminems.

Right, I'm about to say some real crazy like misogynistics.

No no, no, no no.

So like a white woman is like you get the brown bag of Eminem's, and like nobody wants the brown bag of Eminem's. You want the yellow bag when they got the peanut butter ones. You want, Like, no one's doing plain eminems unless it's all they got, you know what I'm saying, Like I kind of am and I'm just damn' but hey, but listen, I am also a plain eminem. Yeah, I'm a white man, so I also I'm in I'm like an eminem mini in the little tube,

Like, so what does that.

Look like when growing up with like a mom I can't cook with?

Well, listen, listen, my mom can cook enough, but she's listen, Thanksgiving at my house versus Thanksgiving at my wife's family's house. There's just a lot more seasoning obviously. Yeah, shout out to my mom and my aunt and my sister. They can't cook for shit. I mean they can cook, like they're here's food, you know. But it's like, is it like great? Like like my dad can cook better than my mom.

My dad cooks way better than my mom.

Is your dad white?

Yeah, but he's like he'll be white, So I feel like it's a little different. They got a little more like I don't know, like he'll he'll put like he'll like make this everything. Yeah, or he'll have a roast and he like marinates the roast and Coca cola for like twelve hours, and that ship is gas.

Fuck that it's also it's fire.

Hell. I don't want nothing marinated in no cola.

You don't drink soda.

I don't want to drink coco cola.

What do you drink if you had to drink a soda? I like back the Papa Coke is the wave. If you're gonna pick a soda, I like sulsa.

You like a Seltzer like a white claw or like a like just like Seltzer water.

Yeah, oh yeah, that's gross.

What a black Chevy salsa? Fai ya?

I'm good.

I like it because sometimes it's just need the bubble, just.

A little bubble. It's like a fake soda exactly. So you do like a look, what's the thing called lacrosse lacroix.

I'll do a lacroix.

Yeah, that's fine.

I mean it's much healthier than like the high fructose court syrup that's in all the Coca cola that I drank Mexican Mexican coach the wave in the bottle straight cane sugar.

It's real ship it is.

I don't know what.

Part of Brooklyn.

Are you from?

Ah East New York. Do you feel like because Brooklyn has changed? Because I've been going to Brooklyn for probably like a little over ten years. Every time I go back, it just is like just it's just so different, Like.

It looks different. Like I just was in Dunk.

I was like in Dumbo at some party like three or four months ago, And weren't you there with us.

With the Status Selectives DJ?

Did you come?

No, you weren't there. We were Puerto Rico Rob, who you've probably met.

Yes, I know Puto.

Yeah, shout out to Puerto Rico Rob.

Let him take you out one night. Hell you won't get home a wild boy. But nonetheless, yeah, it's just brook Brooklyn's changing so much. It's it's its own thing now. It's obviously there's a lot of gentrification happening for you, Like what is it like being from there? Do you embrace the change the growth or do you kind of like how do you feel about it?

I can't do shit about it? Right, So it's like, hey, this is what I'm gonna cry about it. You know what I'm saying, I don't know, I think it's fucked up.

Like gentrication is bad, like altogether.

Yeah, just like the lack of ability to afford to live where you grew up. It's crazy.

It's like it's kind of fucked up.

It is fucked that's not even kind of but I can't do nothing about it right now. So yeah, that's like my only opinion or feeling on it is it's just messed up.

It feels like people, like a lot of like my homies, they like they have to like move to like fucking Jersey or Connecticut or the Bronx.

That's where everybody going there.

Everyone's moving to the Bronx, yeah, because that's the only place you're going to afford.

And it's crazy.

I think nobody, like no one's relocating there. Like Brownsville because what.

Crazy place, right, It's like they put a Starbucks in the l.

I just know Brownsville is where mops from. Do you know who that is? The Mashoup Posse?

Okay and yep, oh okay, yeah yeah yeah yeah, but yeah, like brown like.

Is it it's not gentrified yet? Right?

Yeah.

It's so funny because like night Shove will do shit like put new flowers on like outside and then like up the runt and still like fucked up in there.

So if you just started rapping, what was the what like changed your life as a rapper?

So the mixtape is out, people can support it. Deluxe on the way, hopefully, hopefully.

I'm still stuck on if I want to do a deluxe.

I feel like the thing was like happening for a while, but I've noticed like it's the artist stopped doing it.

You know what.

I would do a deluxe forum to get because a lot of the songs on Hot commodity and are like fairly old, okay, like the ship that I was doing, like immediately after I dropped healthy. But I got so much music, so much music, and I think I want to like kick out the rest. That's like mixtape era, you know what I'm saying, Like this is me just I want to rap rap.

You know, well, you know what you could do, just put a new project out and then the Yeah.

But if I do a new project, it's gonna be new, polished, you know.

What I'm saying.

Super we find maya theme versus like I'm coming up, I'm hungry.

I want to show you who I am before. You know what I'm saying. I saw punching bitches in the face.

Not literally, of course, maybe figuratively. Punch these bitches.

Right, figuratively and sonic literally.

Don't do it because then you'll be in jail.

These motherfuckers is outside snitching, bro, You're right, it's rough. I feel like every time I open my phone, I just see some people just be snitching on themselves.

Now, like the dude who got arrested for shooting Tupac. This dude's been doing interviews admitting to.

This for like five years Oh really, I don't know what's what you talking about?

This.

So this guy in Vegas named Keith d he got arrested by Las Vegas Metro Police for.

His involvement in Tupac's murder.

Now, the thing is is he's been doing interviews for like he did Vlad, He's done a bunch of platforms. I don't want to just pin it on blad, but he's been talking about openly in like describing the murder of Tupac and him being there for like five years on podcasts. So it's it's like they came and arrested him. They came and they raided his house, They took bullets out of his house, and they put him in jail.

So he's not like like.

He was.

He said he was in the passenger seat of the car that killed Tupac. His cousin is Orlando Brown, the dude who supposedly was the shooter. So it's like, why would you admit that? On Like they're like what, Like.

I'm confused. I thought the wait.

Huh it's crazy.

Yeah, I'm confused. Well, they arrested him for being a passenger.

Yeah, because he was involved in the hit. And the other dude's dead.

Oh that was my next question, like, why don't you arrest him?

He's dead?

So they proved that it was the other guy?

Yeah, I mean, I don't this guy admitted it.
