please welcome the man the myth the legend cannabis hey everybody
everybody love you all right guys so uh yeah i figured let's ask cannabis a
couple of questions to get this thing rolling and then we'll get into some song reviews right after that so um
right away it is i'm curious like just tell us a little bit about like your journey as a hip-hop artist you know
where did you start out and and how did you get to where you are today right so uh you know
funny enough um i started out back in the 80s uh beatboxing
before rama right so i used to beat box for well started out breakdancing really that's where it
started my journey with rap music and hip-hop and so you know breaking and popping and
locking and all that but that doesn't really go that far after you know what i'm saying your grandmother smashes a
couple of your boom boxes you know you start to leave that alone so um uh pretty much got out of the popping
unlocking and i used to beatbox for one of my homies um that used to uh rhyme
down there in uh florida um two live crew was out at the time and there was a group called afro rican and my homeboy
ian used to dj for uh for afro rica now and then and eventually he became my d my dj i went
to a high school called aboard anderson we used to call the ba for on board anderson but that was back when like the
18 was out we should just call it b8 because it was like bad news bad attitude type of place but you know we
made the best of it a lot of talent came out of florida at that time he had plantation he had dillard high school so
long story short with the beatboxing i was beat boxing for my homie used to rhyme
then i went from uh beatboxing to starting around myself so
that when we would have battles with other other dudes at school or stuff like that we used to flip it on him like
i was beatboxing he was rhyming and then for somebody's crew who had the same kind of dynamic he would start
beatboxing and i would start rhyming and we did it strictly in the beginning to just throw the people who were watching for a
loop and and and beat the person we were up against or the group we was up against and so uh after doing that
it really turned things upside down on his head and uh i started to rhyme and then uh i
was 13 at the time and then i really got into a series when my mom went up to uh
um one of the ads in the paper that i was looking at to get me in the sonic 16 plus so that i could start sampling and
doing beats and so that's how i started and i had to make the beach for my own demo before i met the lost boys which
eventually turned into how i got my recording contract with universal umg
that's amazing so you kind of have like you're doing in lots of different things right you started out with the boombap and the i
mean the the beatboxing did you do any breaking pneumatic just pneumatic
yeah you said breaking would you say oh group home you said
what's that now did you do any break-in as well when you back in the days oh
logan yeah all day man like all day like like um
um from uh you know it's just uh that's like that was something that you
do you know kids they bounce off the walls anyway right we were young at that time like we were
we were um you talking about like well like you know anywhere from eight
to like 12 you know what i mean like that was a long time ago boss like so children are always bouncing off the
walls and back then there was no internet that we were there was you know there was nothing to keep you glued in one
place we were just always bouncing off the walls so breakdancing was something
we did just because man it was cool to do and that's what we did in the beginning and then of course like i said
you know you started to advance a little bit more and then it came with the beat box and then it came with the
me going to go get my sonic plus my sampler and that's when i started like sampling and truncating
beats what did it call it you truncate quantize your uh lfo wave you cut and
you put the little disc in and go you put the os disk
yeah you know and that's how it started for me you know what i mean so i am familiar with
with what the producers do at least at the beat making process um
once it gets into the you know like like i've heard stories with a certain you know top of the tier
producers they'll run they'll do the make the record and then they'll take it and put it back
to two inch and then bounce it out on two inch and then put it and then run it back into
digital so you know there's techniques that these guys are using now that's just like way over the top
you know for sure man i think back on those early days when when you got your first record
deal like how do you think the industry has changed now for up-and-coming artists compared to back
then so i want to i want to applaud like everybody out there now
that's just um that's continuing to do this you know that's even
trying to get into it now like trying to break into it now i want to applaud you because
you really you're really standing up uh like you're standing up you're facing
obstacles that we didn't really have at that time when we were coming up and i salute you
for it man like it's not nothing now is uh nothing's now nothing now is
is guaranteed like not even the opportunity anymore like now you know
your ambition has to pretty much you got to go in their ambition heavy like you got to have enough ambition to
spare you've got to have enough determination to be able to start out with a crew of five
people and after everybody's quitting or you know something happened they move
off to the sideline you gotta go it all alone like that's the type of determination
ambition you have to have now and i don't envy this younger generation for it it's very difficult now for them um
i will say that your company the kind of structure that you guys got going it
really does help them it gives them a big boost as to you know their options and what they can do
but without without that type of foundation or cornerstone i mean for for me like just for example
when we were coming up you know andre harrell did this uh you know rest in paradise to andre to
harrell too but so there's a story and i know the story is true but he um
andre slept like oh he didn't sleep but he spent the night outside one of the offices
uh it was down there and uh next to times square like not too far
from where the original um uptown records was at because i i i interned at uptown so i i remember
like it's running in sabaro's kitchen is above it's like 30 30 38 42nd street like right there in times
square like uh it's right over there in that area and um your quad next to quad quads down the block so it's unique
down as those are also famous studios but uptown records was right there on that block like right here in the middle
of times square and um it's funny because i remember times when the stories were
that like dre herrera when he was trying to get his deal for jekyll and hyde he um
he wasn't able to uh like get through to the the gentleman that he was trying to meet with you know
they weren't interested and so he just like uh like every time he tried to speak to him
and hand them music they just weren't interested he's like do you have five minutes you're like no not right now so he ended up waiting downstairs
like you know when they got off work they saw him there when they came into work in the morning they saw him there like like dre harrell made it impossible
for them to get in and out of the building in or out of the building without seeing him till one of the days
the gentleman just said to him what what i see here all the time like what can i help you with he's like thank
you uh if you got five minutes i'll let you out i'll tell you so he says yeah all right play it man so
you know that kind of thing that's how dre andre harrell was able to get his label imprint for you know he
did the jekyll and mr hyde thing that's how it started for him but then from there he was able to get his label in
print uh basically start to get to uptown have all those artists you know the mary j bliges the uh you know puff
puff was working as diddy now you know um you know what i mean in the early days jodeci you know father mc heavy d
um so for real lost boys i mean you just name it like so many
groups came out of that label and uh you know what i mean like uh
that's how andre harrell started that's what i'm trying to say like and nowadays
you can't do it that way anymore you can't just sit down in front of somebody's building or you can't you
can't you can't you can't strong-arm anybody into giving you a moment to listen to your stuff you
know what i mean um and that's sad i don't really envy these folks now because of what they got to go
through it's just endless endless typing on the keyboard you know what i mean you're just sending
emails everywhere you know what i mean it's it's it's easy for your stuff to get stolen i supposed or reinterpreted
someone take your stuff like it's so easy to get your stuff bootlegged now or or pirated so
i don't envy him so i gotta applaud you guys for doing it you know what i mean i'm kind of here to learn from you too
man right on i i think i think all the people i'm seeing in the chat they they appreciate that because yeah it is it is a lot of work i think it is also there's
so much opportunity now right things are different i think you're kind of being you're definitely being humble too saying like oh i kind of had it sort of
easy which it was never easy not to mention i think it's dope how you're able to stay on the cutting edge of stuff like
you've got you know the nfts you're doing these bundles you know all this kind of stuff so i'm wondering how
for for artists who want to like forge their own path and then also stay consistent for decades like you have and
stay relevant how how have you approached that how have you been able to do that where like you're you're putting out the most material ever it
feels like now um you know and you're doing using this new technology and doing all this cool stuff
what was your approach to stay relevant technology is always a always a great
thing to have on you know you know technology i mean it really
does it when when it's customized for you and built for you
um it can really streamline your your you know your your completion process the
streamline and things that you're getting done um your task list but in so insofar as relevancy or
you know staying power or whatever you want to call that i gotta be honest with you
it's up to the fans i call my fans like it's pretty much like a brotherhood and that's who i got to give it up to i
got to give it up to them man that's how you you retain your footing man because
we all have you know similar to the same if not identical
um uh you know amounts of reach i mean you know we got
we got we got we got 10 of these you know sometimes a little bit less i hope not
anymore we got and we got 10 down there and and you know
that can only get you but so far it's it's the fans that are behind you
that you know you build a rapport with them where you're giving them something that they can only get from you they
can't get it from anyone else and once they identify with that and they know that they can't get it anywhere else now
you've got something going on where the synergy and what the technology does is that comes along to help
you and them fine-tune a way to stay connected that's that's really that's really what
the technology means to me it's a way for me to stay connected to them mind you i don't have as much time as i wish i
had in order to just sit down and kick it with them and stuff but um the technology does make it so that
we can we can kick it with each other and uh i would say that that's key like
for anybody out there wanting to know um i saw reals the reals cassette chase
yeah it's funny somebody or they just talk about reels or reels and cassette tape yeah so um so uh yeah you know it's about it's
about the brotherhood man like your fans your base your uh your demographic
um you always want to have some kind of connection to them to where you know you
don't have to ask them what is it that they want in the beginning you just want to do what you're doing and see who
who is who gravitates towards it or who who's interested in it and from there you can kind of fine-tune
what's going on and i got to tell you man like my my brotherhood they've been with me
for a long time like due to ups and the downs yo and um
it's you know it's like we grew up together man we've been through a lot of stuff together
yeah man that's that's really great that you say that because a lot of what gabe and i teach you know we try to teach
artists and producers how they can have a successful career and a lot of that is based on building a community right like
having that tribe around you and having that relationship because without that you know you don't really have much as
an artist right you have to you got to treat this as okay so
let's let's let's go ahead and let's pay homage to the big labels for one of the things that they get right
and that's uh when they press the button on you they're getting your stuff on billboards
it's in the commercials like when the machine presses the button you're everywhere they send your stuff
everywhere right but that's what they do right okay so
but as a but as an artist or someone trying to break into the game because you never hear me really talking
bad about like umg like my former label you never really because the truth is
that if it wasn't for umg taking a chance on me then i wouldn't have gotten anywhere
you see where i'm trying to where i'm coming from like of course you have artists that like even let's take cash
money for an example and i'm only bringing them up because i was there i watched how when they came to ung
cash money was huge where they were at you know in the neighboring south and all that they were huge but they needed
that extra off that extra gas when it came to the videos worldwide
distribution and marketing like they didn't have that so universal they did a 50 50 and that's but but they already
had the the the corvettes the the hummers the jewelry the uh
the you know the pt cruisers the bikes the the convoy the police convoy driving
them around they already had all that stuff you know the the compound where you got
20 producers in there producing on on on the tracks at the same time like a compound like a studio compound they had
all this stuff prior to getting with umg so when they got the umg
they were just ready to shoot videos but they had all the toys that you would need for a video so
once again a label is going to get you out there to the world known to the world whether you
have like all of this money or not they're still going to get you out there but
you know if there's any advice or counsel or just kind of like a fail safe
that i could give to the people watching is that no matter how huge your label is
or no matter how big a deal you get and no matter how much you know how great things are going for
you once they press the button always remember that if they take it all the way from you tomorrow
what do you have left to work with so you have to treat that situation as if it is 15 minutes you got 15 minutes
what are you gonna do and i i heard that andy warhol that's his that's his uh
that's his term he coined that you're 15 minutes so and it really is like 15 minutes man it's not five
you know it's not half hour it's not an hour it's more like 15 minutes man which is it's like that you know it's just
long enough for you to get used to it and enjoy it but not long enough for you to
you know get so comfortable that you know you think that it's never going back to the way it was so you know we
got to treat this as like you get in here you know always be cordial and polite
to these people that are on your team that are with you that are helping you even if they might not be doing it to
the best of their ability or they might just be you got to be polite and cordial to them because remember they're just doing a job too and um and you never
know where it's going to take you 10 years down the line or 20 year my case 27 years later you know you're still
going to see some of these people out here you you want to have some kind of relationship where they know that
you know what this guy's been out here for this many years and uh
you know he's he's he's never done this and he's never done this but he's doing this you know what i mean he's you know
you can count on him to be this way and if somebody else comes along and says well he's like this they like nah that's
not the guy i met the guy i met was was like you know he had his head screwed on straight you know what i mean and so
that's what uh that's what i could say to those folks watching man is like always
always build your own brand as if if
if the if the hype and the label gets taken away from you tomorrow that you still have something to stand on
you know you still have something to work with yeah no that's great advice and i feel also like if you focus on that first
building that brand building that community the labels are going to be more interested in the first place anyway right because they nowadays they
just they're looking for people already have that built-in audience right so if you focus on that but you know even once
you once you get on the label like you said later on if for whatever reason it doesn't work out or you move on to your
own thing you still have that same brand you still have that audience as well so yeah that's the way to do it
oh man well let's let's kind of uh bring it back to right now and and cannabis today and i'm just curious if you can
tell us a little bit about this new project you brought out today and where people can get a copy of that yeah so um
let's see here he said that's why i got it mike club oh he's taking it back okay so uh how many folks we got in here by
the way let's take a look at what yeah it looks like almost a hundred
wow 87 it looks like yeah you can't fit 100 people where i'm at man so that's a big deal but um
yeah man uh definitely um you know the project right now it's one
of many um it it pretty much is talking about a certain time an era when we were
releasing music like at that level um we were on the road
that madie and i and uh born son uh occasionally we bring que solo out there
we had him out on the road with us like i mean we were out there getting it popping man so
um those records were done like during that time a little bit before maybe a little bit after and the wreckage kind
of reflect what was going on at that time like in hip-hop some of my stuff is a little bit
a little bit uh a little bit forward-reaching so so like for example like the record um
they had a complete i was recorded in 2014
and uh and i was talking about a lot of things on there that pretty much had started to transpire
um recently so and that's fay out of complete um so so yeah you know uh this record
we're taking a snapshot back as opposed to um
you know looking forward like this this almighty era wreck is taking a snapshot back
most of the other records i record with 80 and so forth they're always taking a snapshot of the future
and at the very least like the present you know shout out to all the jurassic fighter j5 people man
okay and where can people check out the album oh so they can go get that record on uh
uh canny nft.com that's uh that's uh www.can
i nft.com um you know yeah you can get you can go there you
can check out we got all kinds of things up there you can go get um you know and then of course uh music man
you know we got music coming so uh you know y'all get in there check it out and
um just so that people know my thing is always like tonight
a couple of my buddies got got like a little radio station thing that they're doing um it's called like the circle or
something the circle um cali ranks is on it i've got third eye on it i've got uh
um they invited me over to it um it's gonna be friday night at nine they're
gonna start and i don't know maybe i'll get a a a a link and put it up later but
i'm supposed to be playing like some some records that i did they're collaborative records it's like one of
my little things that i've been working on a project of mine and um that's the kind of thing that
like i'm into i'm really into the collaborations um and uh and i've got like i've got
like everywhere i turn i've got a collaboration to either do or complete or or get to and i'm doing that right
now but this the site with this little radio station i'm doing that tonight
and um i'm building and expanding on what's already going on like you guys are gonna see like like as as we're moving in the
future because i know you're heavy in this space hanno i told you uh i got a lot of respect for you um and gabe but
you in particular because i watched you build this man i was around like you know 14 years ago 15 years ago and saw
your name buzzing back then bro it's a big deal thanks man i appreciate that yeah
cool man well i'm super excited about that radio show for sure i'll be tuning into that and uh yeah i already already
listened to the album you know i know most of the songs already so yeah everybody go check that out it's it's an
incredible project and uh also shout out to matt for kind of the being there for that process
too like putting together that i guess that time period in your career so you know i wanna drop off i wanna drop a
bomb on campus right now because he doesn't know you know this this is born in jamaica and anna was well you're born in germany
or united kingdom germany right germany yeah yeah so so anno and i were doing so much business i had every like record
label we'd ever worked with every artist we'd ever worked with like sign off so he could move to america you know get
his work visa and anno's family had never met me and they're like who are you to just uproot
our son from us and then you know he ended up meeting the love of his life in america and he
still lives in the usa and so when i met his family at the wedding they're like we didn't like you at first but you know
our son is now with his soul mate so like you're good people but like that's how back how far back like anna and i go
like we used to talk on like aol instant messenger and stuff like that so it's like all these years later man anno's as
strong-willed as anyone i know because man he has to deal with me
you did show me some pictures you did show me some pictures y'all was hanging out it was years ago though those
pictures yeah i mean but it still means something that's that's really what what we're talking
about like what matt just said there we're talking about relationships we're trying to
show the folks that are tuned in and watching this man we're like so one thing we did have then is we
we understood a little bit more about long-lasting strong relationships
than this this uh confluence of the moore's law
has created like it's created a lot of frankenstein stuff where people
you know they they're like trolls some of them are trolls or they give way to the troll stuff and they they get
involved in that stuff and it's counterproductive and so what happens is people don't realize that one day you're
you're kind of going to be like on the chopping block or close to it and you're going to need people to vouch for you're
going to need people who are real like real people not just you know this this internet stuff you
know what i mean so we got to have some kind of real solid connection beyond just
the you know the machine and these these these you know the sound waves and just the electric vibe like there has to be
some kind of soul vibe still and um i just want to point that out you know
because 10 years down the line you're still going to be here you feel me you know if life lasts if god is good
you know what i'm saying life lasts you'll still be here 10 years down the line you want to have build these relationships with folks
that you can still count on yeah man life lessons right there i appreciate that but uh listen
you know as much as i'd love to like just ask you questions all night and i have lots of them you know most of the guys here they really want to play their
music for you so maybe we can get into playing some tracks and you give us your thoughts
yeah for sure let me uh let me get some of these lined up we have some of these basically we raffled these off from
people who bought um that uh that exclusive tape that's got uh your feature on there i do
my preferences i'd rather play the ones from the people who are here so let me know is moochie c or k camp sushi in
here let me know we'll make sure to to play your track first otherwise we'll we'll keep going down the line until we
find some people that are here um because i'd love for them to be live i know not everybody can make it because

that anymore what i look for is just putting out my heart and letting people know that you know what i'm saying
try to let people feel what i'm trying to say you know i'm saying with my words instead of like saying it because it's
kind of hard i applaud you i applaud you saying that because i always that's what
i always say you took the words out of my mind i always say
that when people the people make their music you're making it for the creator like
you're not really making it for you know the charts and the record labels it's not really what you're
making it for you're making it for the creator first and foremost because that's how you're showing that
you know if it even makes any sense like if the creator gave you you know seeing the ability to be part by pedal and run
or walk when that's what you do is you when you're a child you're growing up you know how to crawl and you learn how
to you know tumble around and eventually you're walking and then you're walking and you're running so
when you get to the point where you can write rhymes or make a beat or play an
instrument you're the first person that you're going to impress with that is the
creator because the creator gave you that ability you know what i'm saying so so now once that's over with
you should be at peace with what you make you just go ahead and make the best you can and you should be at peace with
it because the creator's satisfied with it the problem is we kind of don't get satisfied as humans
until somebody just sit next to you is like yo you know that [ __ ] is crazy yo let me
hear that again or until it's playing on the radio it's playing on the tv and everybody's on your jock
there's nothing wrong with it there's nothing wrong with it but but i'm i'm making a distinction between the
two it's not that when we make it it's not good enough to be out to be on the radio
or be on the tv all day that's not what's happening there's just a distinction there where what you're
making if it's like the record we just made that record's dope enough to go all the
way if a label came behind and i pressed the button on it it could go all the way you should have that before but
but since they're not pressing a button on it that's not what the that's not excuse me that's not what's destined for
that one then the creator is still impressed by and still happy with it satisfied with it i
know what i heard i was satisfied with it and i want you of all people to be satisfied with it
brother because that's the whole point you see i'm saying that's the whole point sushi we gotta
we gotta and even for the folks out there listening like don't feel bad or feel defeated or feel deflated or
don't you know don't get don't get that feeling of um of uh you know lack of self-worth or any
type of you know just anything derogatory or negative behind your music not being accepted you know
by by people somewhere or group here or what have you because like i said we're
making it for the creator first you see what i'm saying right all right that's all cause i feel like
sometimes people get really they get really caught up in how how it feels and and i need y'all to
know for everybody out there listening trust me when i tell you like i've felt
more of that pain when it comes to like music and rhyming and rap or what have you
probably more than than most people on here i mean i don't know everybody's story but um it's quite possible that i felt
more than anybody i i don't got to show many summits and crap
different summits and then crashed and then and and now it's all about it's all about streamlining it now but but in the
end in the end what is it you're really looking for you're looking for
your work as a whole you know what i'm saying when you look at it from you know when you factor
everything in and you average the mean you're looking at it for it to be agreeable to the creator you see what
i'm saying like you you're looking at it for the creators just be like even even if he even if he you know i'm saying
like he look at it and you know his stomach gurgle a little bit or he look at it and there's no smile he
doesn't crack up like a like a cheese smile or he doesn't but if he just if he just looks and give you the nod or wink
at you or what have you you know it's agreeable to the creator you know what i'm saying and that's good enough that's
good enough brothers that's just it's like yeah it's good enough for us you know
yeah i was seeing i was seeing that you got your website in the nft website
you you getting into that now because i'm into that so right so it's candynft.com
um that's like forward thinking right like like uh i haven't really started
um doing the nft things like full flush as yet because there's a lot more to it
than people might think so um i'm pretty much now just looking on ways to
you know how to add value to it before i just drop one you don't drop one and then try to add value to it you want to
add value before right right i just dropped my my my collection
okay 27 it's called sushi man in case you you're looking at okay
make sure m80 gets the link over there or ano or um gabe gets a link and i'll go over that i'll grab one it ain't
nothing i'll grab
want to do though is you know over the course of time we want to add value to our jones story you feel me like like
you just have them it's not valued [Music]
like really though in all seriousness we got to add value to our [ __ ] man see
the people not gonna tell you that they're gonna these folks that's running this game it's still the wild west and
some of the rules are made when they finish making all the rules then they're gonna open the gates and say come on in
but you know it's good for us to try to get involved now and see what's going on and try to figure out how to add values
man you got it right yeah chris rodriguez you know what he talked about yeah they want to add that too but
we got to add value to it man we have to because once you know how to add value or you can add value to it then
you know by having a little bit of ownership of it now it matters in your world in your life right what what's happening what's
happening on other parts of the world is and other things that we do is um
we'll have stuff and then someone is devaluing what it is that we're doing it's like rap like rap
was devalued for the entire time i was involved with it like raps been devalued like they took
you know things that now should be priceless and and you know these things are like you can't find
them nowhere you know what i'm trying to say like i mean it was a time when i remember when we were
like okay i'm gonna give you an example so i remember the time of motown where there was a there was a restaurant in in
the city in new york on the east coast where uh you could um go in in the in
the motown restaurant and uh and they had like the motown cafe and
they had they had like michael's glove in there they had uh from the eisley brothers they had uh mr
biggs cane or something like that or something or another did he have like reality
they would have artifact right they would have artifacts and these things like trust me like you didn't even need to call police
and somebody who's trying to mess around with michael glover and if somebody would have reached in there did something like a glove and somebody would have probably you know saying
clapped you in there you understand right so
that's what i mean by value but now you know look like how valuable is michael's glove now is
what i'm saying you know what i'm saying like somebody would probably tell you it ain't nowhere near as valuable
you see where i'm coming from so it's tricky it's tricky how they'll take your value from you so you gotta
i think that's probably very important for us to do i'm still looking i'm still looking for ways to do it but we gotta
add value to our stuff man we have to right right that's good advice i do
bro
dope dope i just want to make sure we get you know a little time for a couple other people because i know i know your your time is limited here
um
i want to make sure we get some of the people that are in here um but we also did you know the format was going to do
a raffle so i'm hoping to play some of the ones that we had already selected so let me know if you guys are in here we're looking for moochie c

don't know i could i could hear you vibe into it i could hear you like yeah all right but um
what i really like about that one is it's easy off top to tell that they um
like they're fans of of that era that that 90s that 90s with that late 90s rap
ever because they got they got nas in there yeah i was bumping a lot of glass mf
doom all of that i can tell and i could tell by your flow and i could tell by even like some of
the you know what i mean the pockets that you win on the on on the rounds with your syllable placement and all
that i could tell that yeah i like to have like you know you know a force behind the lyrics i
like word play all of that so get busy you're getting busy yeah get busy when you're right yeah yeah get busy
that's what you're doing man um it sounds dope like uh i feel like um
if you go you know i don't know what what the goal is for you if you're trying to make records to if you're
trying to if you're trying to like you know just have your little following and keep it pushing or you trying to
you know take your writing ability and go elsewhere with it but if you if you
i'ma just tell you if you if you wish that hardcore get busy style and you want to make a whole
record like that you want to make an entire catalog like that i think you i think you can make it i
think you can make it i think that you can you know you could definitely i know i know personally as a r that's that's my
lane right there so like i [ __ ] with that all day bro you got a great song and i mean yeah definitely and i got a
bunch more coming out yeah i have another joint with afro i have a bunch of other stuff coming out
good deal appreciate it yeah um yeah like i said um like matt was saying
the same sort of thing man like if you because that's the decision that a lot of artists we gotta make right we got to
make that decision of which lane you're going to stay in you know the bride
right yeah everybody doesn't have everybody doesn't have the look you get a sauerkraut potato yeah
it's rolling dice about six months everybody doesn't have that
bouncing around you know what i'm trying to say like i'm gonna say this and i'm not saying that they're like there's
nobody and i'm not saying it for y'all to go run and tell somebody that i said this this is us in this room
um but so i just remember when and it comes to my mind like i remember
when 50 and john got into it right yeah so when 50 and john got into it
i remember that john m was doing a thing john was making a lot of noise remember when 50 came out
it was crazy it was crazy yeah but when 50 first came out before
he got with aftermath it was like he did that uh you know that how to rob track and then
this won a battle the ambulance picking them up and it was like it was crazy because
it wasn't defeat nobody knew that 50 was going to be the guy that he is today right
i remember when he came out one of the first things he did was he was like yo john you singing on the records [ __ ] all
that you singing on a record [Music] josh stopped singing on the record
and started he didn't want to sing on the record one and 50 started singing on the record [Laughter]
and then that's how i don't know if you remember what i'm talking about man yeah of course
[Laughter] he made him quit for him
you're amazing that's like one of the funniest things that happened in hip-hop bro that's crazy man
did he did that so that is what i kind of mean about your style your style and your lane you
got to kind of be committed to it right yeah 100 yeah i've been doing it for about four
or five years but it's like i have an idea of where i want to go it's just perfecting the pen game you know
right right yeah 100 percent yeah so but you got it you got you're
