1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please.

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The show starts in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go.

3
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
This is a Chah production.

4
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
All right, all right, is everyone on the call?

5
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Now, Candy, AM, you around with me?

6
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
All right, this is gonna be a little fun little ride. Candy, this is your virgin voyage.

7
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
There should be a lot of fun. Twisted Critics all day though.

8
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
What are we? I mean, Twisted Critics, it's our podcast and we are them biasedly unbiased brothers

9
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
stretching across the whole US who dig music and music business.

10
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
This is our much-anticipated relaunch that originally began with myself

11
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and my cousin Tony Ganja in 2018.

12
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Now we have two brand new co-hosts, Rapper AM and Candelario.

13
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
AM and I are active artists ourselves and all three of us are collaborators, radio reviewers,

14
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
and current business execs at Hear My Voice Entertainment.

15
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Not only that, but starting this year, the Twisted Critics podcast is curating our very own

16
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Spotify VIP playlist to begin and better help promote our special guests that we have on air

17
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
and other songs that we just love and become fans of.

18
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
You know our good and bad experiences in the rap game, our jobs around the industry,

19
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
and many questions, messed up information.

20
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
We've heard at music conferences, we remember what it's like starting out,

21
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
making our mistakes and being told false information everywhere you turn.

22
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So we try to direct answers, correct business practice, clear legal steps, and helpful research.

23
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
It's our mutual love through all of our weekly calls, our ear for urban music,

24
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
our mathematical eyes, that's got to have mathematical eyes.

25
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
On the radio chart, our reviews, the record labels, our heated song debates,

26
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
we're going to go at it, I already know that.

27
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Our unasking guests, both business and personal questions,

28
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
and our solidarity in sharing a few drinks, Salud, that makes it therapeutic,

29
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
productive, and often wild platform for y'all to listen and be a part of.

30
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
You know, if nothing else, tune in with an open mind and notepad and a full glass

31
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
to enjoy an informative, opinionated, entertaining, and twisted vibe

32
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and you might learn something.

33
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Please be interactive in sending questions via our various social medias.

34
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
I will not only give you a shout out live on air,

35
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
but also give you directions and steps to us three are believers in the motto,

36
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
a drunk man slash woman tells no lies.

37
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Call it education to inebriation, if you will.

38
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
And that's what's up, bro.

39
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Now in terms of the Twitter critic schedule, we're shooting for Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays.

40
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Fridays will be the audio version of each of these podcast episodes

41
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
launching on all streaming platforms, so check it out.

42
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And on Sunday, the audio version of each podcast episode will launch on YouTube.

43
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
And on Mondays, any associated Spotify song selections from each show

44
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
will be added to our exclusively curated playlist for our fans to enjoy.

45
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
I can't wait for that, because that's what I listen to on my long commute to work

46
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
every single Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so I can't wait for that.

47
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Now all Twisted Critics episodes will have a minimum of us two co-hosts at Meantime

48
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
analyzing details on the week's Radio Sharks, as well as one or two special guests.

49
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Right now we got Candy and our hot seat that we'll interview and have helping us through each show.

50
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Beyond that, we will always have a handful of segments, games, and banana peels

51
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
that if we slip on them, it'll make us, our guests, and all you listeners drink a shot.

52
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I kind of want us to take a break since this is our pilot,

53
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
and just break down real quick an elevator pitch if you want to call it that.

54
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Let the people know who you are.

55
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
AM, you kick things off first, bro.

56
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Perfect, perfect. So my name is Arian Miller, aka rapper AM, aka Angry Man.

57
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I am 34 right now. Out of Baltimore, Maryland.

58
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I'm a rapper first, battle rapper second.

59
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Farther before all of that, but we're going to say what we do.

60
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
I mix, master music. I am a producer, photographer, videographer.

61
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I do a bit of boxing, I do a bit of MMA. I do a bit of everything.

62
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
We always do this when I do this.

63
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Dash, Dash, would you hear me talk? Music, battles, photography,

64
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
and a little sonnet will be running around here at some point.

65
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I guess I'll go next. My name is Doc J, but I also go by Joselito, or Jesse, or Doc.

66
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I'm a MUT, part Puerto Rican, part Italian, part Slovakian.

67
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I was born in New York, but I lived almost all my life in South Florida.

68
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Until the last 14 years, my wife and I moved to Claremont, which is in central Florida.

69
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
College-educated, from FAU, Florida Atlantic University.

70
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I'm a two-degree civil engineering with an emphasis on transportation design and copyright trademark law.

71
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Since 17, I've been a DJ, a learning producer, and a rap artist myself.

72
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I've been on numerous mixtapes, and I've logged over 800-plus hours of stage time.

73
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
I've interned at two legal departments of record labels, Sony Music and Epic Records.

74
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I have experience with production on mainstream level as well,

75
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
selling a placement to Motown Records and Brian McKnight in 2004.

76
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Since October 2016, I've worked for iHeart Media and MediaBase as a national radio spins analyst.

77
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
My office is on the third floor of the Kissimmee Courthouse.

78
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
You guys can find me there. Go in my cube and bother me if you want.

79
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Not only am I a CEO of Hear My Voice Entertainment with these gentlemen right here,

80
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
but we focus not on the whole internet aspect of it, but actually brick and mortar,

81
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
where we actually really develop artists, let them learn the music business side.

82
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000
We collect publishing, and we do the admin to go after the money that they're not getting right now.

83
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
I also sit on music panels in the southeast usually.

84
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,000
My expertise is in urban music, music business, radio syndication, chart math I do every single Sunday,

85
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
music reviews, execution of radio royalties, and I pull research for copyright lawsuits.

86
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
And thanks to these two gentlemen, I am now a podcast host again.

87
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm looking forward to it anyway.

88
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
So my full name is Candelario Garreal. I'm Hispanic.

89
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I live in the southernmost tip of Texas, shout out Brownsville.

90
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I'm basically I'm learning from the ground up on I'm going to, you know, being a podcast host,

91
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
getting certification as CEO, other certifications that, you know, me and Doc had talked about, you know,

92
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
being a talent scout, being a promoter, and basically I want to work with Doc and, you know,

93
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
helping these other artists develop themselves as well.

94
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
We can do that. But right now we're going to develop just a little bit of some tipsiness.

95
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
We all had a customary part of the show when we started out with my cousin Tony.

96
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
So we want to keep that alive. It's called What You Drinking On.

97
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
So right now we don't drink water here. We actually drink it with you guys.

98
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000
So like right now I got my glass right now. We are or at least I am.

99
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
I'm drinking on some Captain Morgan. I got a couple cans of Coke.

100
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And in the case that we have to take a customary shot or WFW, whatever the hell that is,

101
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
I got some homemade mamawana. It's Dominican celebration drink.

102
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Got some very unique Dominican herbs, leaves, barks, and roots that make you get numb a little bit.

103
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
And it's got some red wine, honey, and dark rum.

104
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
So hopefully I don't take too many shots of those. But if I do, then so be it.

105
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
What about you, Candy? What you drinking on?

106
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Our first episode of Twisted Critics. I'm drinking Twisted Tea.

107
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
When we got shots, I'm drinking some Bucanas.

108
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
AM, what you drinking on?

109
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I'm sipping on some gin mare. I'm a big gin guy, Doc Lopet.

110
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
The Mediterranean gin is very, very, very spicy. It's one of my favorite ones.

111
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,000
If you both would join me on one thing, fill up your shot glass with one of your shots right now.

112
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
It is bad luck to start the show off without a customary shot.

113
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
We are family, we are friends, we are coworkers, we are nothing else.

114
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
We are homeboys that like urban music. So please raise your glass with me.

115
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Wish you guys a good Virgin voyage for Hear My Voice Entertainment and the Twisted Critics.

116
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
And salud to each of you.

117
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Salud.

118
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
So this WFW that Candy brought up, AM brought up, I brought up, let's dig into that a little bit.

119
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Segment two is the WFW, Wrong Fucking Word of the Week.

120
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Since this is our pilot episode, I want a little more relaxed, chill vibe where you're just getting to know us.

121
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
We don't have to dig into the radio charts as hardcore as we normally do.

122
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
AM and I can explain the segments and how they work as we get to them.

123
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
And Candy will be our self-appointed attorney and referee to get each other's backs or start the fight.

124
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
We'll see which one starts.

125
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
We generally do a 21 questions to our hot seat, but instead we're doing 21 questions to each other.

126
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And I want the new viewers to get to know us a little bit.

127
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I have to dot you up. You're giving Candy a whole lot of power.

128
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Giving him a whole lot of power. He's good for it, I know it.

129
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
You were the A&R that brought him in. So what I'll say this is we throw him in the fire and see how well he does when he works.

130
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
So that's what's coming up right now. Candy, let them know what we're doing.

131
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Amal, you're talking to the judge during execution over here, baby.

132
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
But we're going to see how much we're going to get to know about these guys.

133
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And hopefully they throw out a couple of dark secrets out there.

134
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaking of which, at Twisted Critics, we do our best to make sure we and our guests and listeners mutually get the opportunity to take part

135
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
in our Twisted Answers. So we'll alternate every show.

136
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:12,000
One of us will pick a torturous buzzword at our banana peel called WFW or our wrong fucking word of bidetting.

137
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Every time someone says something says it on air, everyone must take a shot. No questions asked.

138
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Since you worked so hard bringing this show back, Doc, how about you go and pick our poison for this afternoon?

139
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Oh, OK. There's a lot of responsibility here.

140
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000
But since I know how we wrote the slides and our outline and how this is going, I kind of want to throw some banana peels for this.

141
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Let's see. I haven't done this in a minute. So I'm going to go with the WFW, the term hit record or records.

142
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
So hit record or hit records. If we say that, we're going to catch each other.

143
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Sound effects, hand claps, make some noise, and we all taking shots. I hope you guys are ready for that.

144
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:56,000
So segment three is going to be time capsule. You know, I'm not very versed in hip hop, so I know I'm going to learn a lot with you guys.

145
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000
You guys are. I don't know how I would. I guess the only word to explain like hip hop masters compared to me for sure.

146
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
But we're kind of sewers. You know how there's wine connoisseurs, me and him are hip hop connoisseurs.

147
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
So I mean, I come from a predominantly most of these are Spanish, so it's going to be new to me.

148
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000
So let's watch our tongues today and let's get right with it with episode zero zero zero.

149
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Our pilot show this week will consist of dates six four through six ten.

150
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
So we're going to do a quick look into those days in urban music history.

151
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:36,000
All right. So I guess that chimes me in. First and foremost, for our time capsule this week, we got to give props and get pay our respects to those that aren't here with us anymore.

152
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,000
We definitely want to talk about days that some legends in hip hop and R&B industry have all passed away.

153
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
So I'm going to kick things off and name the first three.

154
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
June 5th was trouble.

155
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:57,000
2022 June 6th was Jr from the Cali swag district 2014 and Marvin Isley from the Isley brothers in 2010.

156
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:17,000
June 7th is going to be little fat. That's going to be 2012 June 8th is going to be Bonnie pointer 2020 June 9th is going to be Bushwick Bill 2019 and pumpkin head 2015 you know I'm big ph and big big big big ph and watching some of the old kocd before I before they went.

157
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
You know I was doing one of the other grant funds before they came over here was watching pumpkin and hold on.

158
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:39,000
I love ghetto boys so Bushwick Bill is definitely someone I look up to but yeah pumpkin head. I have every single one of his albums and physical form on my wall and knowing the grind time Battle League, he's just, he was just a talented battle rapper and taking way too early from us, you know,

159
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:46,000
so last but obviously not least, we're going to have June 10 Ray Charles and June 11th stack bundles.

160
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Ray Charles is a big one man I think that kind of reverberates through all music not just urban or R&B but I'm pretty sure almost everyone has seen the movie right and know of Ray Charles piano skills and a lot of his signature singles.

161
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:07,000
All right, well I'm going to make it a little happier know now since we got the painter specs with our IPs out of the way let's move on to the birthday celebrations for the week.

162
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
This is for all the Gemini fans out there, and am why don't you kick it, kick us off first, please.

163
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Starting with June 4 we have B day shout outs to Devin the dude, he's gonna be 50 years old ASAP, not Rocky, but Rock. He's gonna be 47. Brian, he's gonna be 54 and we're going to have DJ Muscley coming in as the young buck at a whopping 33.

164
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:46,000
I'm happy that you kind of showed and displayed the difference of ASAP Rocky and ASAP Rock. I love ASAP Rock I go all the way back to being a fan of Labor Day's. I've actually opened up a show for him in Miami at the IO lounge.

165
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:54,000
And he's still like a wordsmith to this day I love the albums that he comes up with, and it's weird because he's an indie artist, but he still tours the world like that's the one thing I love about him.

166
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Happy birthday to all them cats that you just said.

167
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,000
We got Prince June 7 turning 65, Purple Rain.

168
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:11,000
We got Sway Lee, also June 7 turning 30. We got Kanye West, June 8 turning 56.

169
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
And we got Masego June 8 turning 30.

170
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:29,000
No, I got a lot of respect for Kanye probably on that list and then I know with the Bump It and Dump It lately in the last year or two AM and I have really gravitated to Masego's music quite a bit. I didn't realize he was that young. I thought he was already in his 30s so that was pretty cool.

171
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Closing it out would be me starting at June 8 we got R Kelly who's turning 56. Against popular opinion I really want him to get out and make R&B music again I still love his music.

172
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Buff loved the human beatbox and the fat boys he passed away but he would have been 56 on June 10. And Flesh and Bone from Bone Duds and Harmony on June 10 he'd also turned 50.

173
00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:01,000
And from one of my favorite R&B groups, Joe to see we got Jojo turning 52 on June 10 as well. Happy birthday to all 12 of them out there.

174
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Happy birthday man.

175
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Next segment guys, we're gonna have the hot seat.

176
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Being our pilot episode and you're listening just getting to know us and our segments, a special guest will be sitting in the hot seat this weekend is actually going to be our co-host, you know rapper AM and Doc J.

177
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I get the honor to actually ask them questions and be referee. Ain't nothing like a little friendly game with 21 with Lickr and Bone. So rapid fire you know just off the dome.

178
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,000
I'm ready. So to kick it off, I'm gonna let the younger guys kick it off so AM, you're going first.

179
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Alright, alright, right. Age before beauty or something like that. I don't get it.

180
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Something like that.

181
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Doc question one for AM.

182
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
And where were you born, where were you raised?

183
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:58,000
It's hilarious I was getting an oil change the other day and I was sitting in Mynakee and I was talking to the guy that was changing my oil and a random woman that walked in and both of them had connections to where I was born.

184
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Born in Bangor, Maine. My parents were Navy.

185
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Yeah, they met there, had us there, and we stayed there for a little while, and we came back to my mother's home which is Baltimore. And I would definitely say I've been here since. So I was raised here, born in Bangor.

186
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Okay, so AM question one for Doc. What were you like as a kid growing up and would you say you're more of an introvert or an extrovert?

187
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Damn, AM got like part A, B, C, D questions, but I love it. I love it. Growing up as a kid, I mean, I'm like, I was like, I am now.

188
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:45,000
I like to care for everybody. I like everything to be a celebration. I want everyone to celebrate their wins. So family parties, get togethers, hensays, barbecues were all part of my growing up.

189
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Dad barbecued a hell of a lot so I love food. And I was kind of a smart ass. I am a little bit intelligent. I don't know how intelligent I am nowadays. My gray hair is kind of covering up.

190
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:04,000
But I think the intelligence kind of comes a little bit of smart assness. So I sometimes put teachers in their place if they're teaching the wrong thing to the classes I was in.

191
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:15,000
I would say I'm an introvert or extrovert. A little bit of both. Being a straight A student, kind of nerdy a little bit. I was introvert, but I also played basketball very well and I was on the varsity team for three years.

192
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:31,000
So I kind of got the ability to jump around the nerves, the jocks. I kind of get along with everybody as long as you're not an asshole. So it depends on the social gathering, how I am, but I like to make everyone feel like they're having a good time and I want everyone to feel celebrated.

193
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:45,000
So I guess in that, I do have a megaphone in trying to be an extrovert by making everyone try to feel comfy and have a good time and have liquor involved. But then in private times I am a little bit of introvert as well.

194
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000
All right so back to A.M. How would you describe your family dynamic growing up and what's it like having a twin?

195
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Well my family dynamic was pretty close in that dad was in the house until I was in middle school and he was still active after that. So I grew up with both of my parents, which is always needed. Dad did damage to me. I was just crazy.

196
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:25,000
And this is awesome to speak about on here as a dad now. I try not to kind of commit to the same style that my dad did. I always know that as a parent you learn. There's no guideline, there's no books, you can't learn. We learn on the go. We learn in personal situations.

197
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:41,000
And when I say he damaged me, it was just emotionally, he kind of messed me up early. I had to figure that out. You know what I mean? I had to figure that out in college. My actual dynamic, really really good with my mom, really good with my cousins, really really close with my aunts, uncles.

198
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And having a twin that was like having a second mother who was a witch but a princess at the exact same time or a queen at the exact same time. Our relationship got really really really good after she went to the military. So my sister was Navy.

199
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:15,000
But my sister went to the Navy and I didn't write it right because our relationship was kind of rocky. She asked me, she was like, why didn't you write me? I said because I don't like you. And it wasn't me sitting and saying, you know, like I don't love you, but I don't like you. I don't have anything to write. I don't want to write to you.

200
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:30,000
And ever since she got back after she was in the military, we've been like, like this. And that was early college, early college. So we, she's gonna fight for me and I'm gonna want to start putting people out for her.

201
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Shout out to AM's twin, Dre, too. She's cool people. Candy.

202
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:46,000
I want to direct to you. So what did you look up to as a child growing up? AM knows my story, my background story. My dad passed away when I was 18 from suicide. I'd say I looked up to my dad a lot until he passed away.

203
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:56,000
And then we are we were raised at least at that point very religious so it's like there was that internal struggle of like oh the suicide lets you in heaven or not. So that was like an internal struggle I had to deal with.

204
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:11,000
But then me being a nerd, very studious. I look up to anyone that's a really good public speaker. My parents also raised me not to see color, by the way, either. So like when Gina, I go to these music conferences, my wife, Gina and I, we don't care about culture shock.

205
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:24,000
We're the only white people in the room or like light skinned people in the room. We get along with everybody. And I've been like that my entire life. So by about age 11, I could say I really looked up to like the Malcolm X's, the Martin Luther Kings, and don't laugh at this.

206
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:42,000
But I like read a bio on Hitler and I, other than his theories and like the war he created, I actually really look up to how he uses voice to move people. So as weird as that sounds like it's like a mix of dad, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Hitler.

207
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:53,000
I want to be that MC that can move a country like Hitler was able to so I guess I see the roses behind everything like the war.

208
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
So am as a fan describe your personality listening to music in and out of social settings.

209
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Me listening to music. I'm a lot better than I was growing up.

210
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:14,000
I was a purist. I'm nowhere near that now. I hated, I hated anything outside of rap music and I don't care. And let me say this better. I hated everything outside of hip hop.

211
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Any, any, anything outside of what I would consider super rap, you know, Nas and older Jay and things of that nature. Couldn't stand it. As I got older, and y'all will actually see how I, how I speak and how I talk when I do the music reviews that I do.

212
00:21:32,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I like Bob now I'm big, big, big, big, big, big guy. And I think it's in part to me rapping as hard as I read. Right. I still I still write battle racks and things of that nature I still watch battle rap and things of that nature but that I don't you know that is the most pure form of rap, because we met during that, but it's the most purest form of hip hop and rap that that we can tap into, like, like this.

213
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
We have to search and look for music like that. And I think I got a little tired of it. I'm like, all right.

214
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Let me not look, let me feel right. I agree with am like you got to dig for music now unfortunately with this new generation everyone thinks they're an artist now. Back then, I mean, 88% of people thought they were fans, and now that isn't like that anymore so I agree with am on that when you got to dig for

215
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:36,000
it but him and I that's where him and I differ a little bit. I'm still purest a little bit I will review stuff for labels because we get paid for it, but at the same time I you know what I go home and listen to is something totally different.

216
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
But to me it's very therapeutic so I agree with him on what he said there.

217
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:54,000
All right, dog back to you, Doc, how do you, how would you describe family. Um, and he knows me I'm very similar to him. I'm very close to my family, especially when dad passed away was raised by a lot of women strong women like my grandmother's 99 and she'll be

218
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000
100 on October in October.

219
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:08,000
My mother is a dad and a mom at the same time, I got a ton of aunts, and then you go to Puerto Rico and I got a lot of people that are related to me in two different ways.

220
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:19,000
A lot of strong women have raised me and my brothers to both I have two brothers and two have sisters as well so I mean they strong women raised us, but things that like strong father figure for you though.

221
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:35,000
When dad passed away I really didn't have when I had a guy I have a godfather in West Palm Beach was a or T's love him to death and you know I could, their family to ours, I mean they're anytime we traveled out to a Royal Palm, it was always that's my best memories

222
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:53,000
of my dad and him with cook pigs, big porks, and good times man so I mean the definition going back to am's question of family. Since dad passed away I learned, I needed to lean on music, that was my therapy, but on people that maybe they weren't family but now I absorb

223
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:09,000
that I'm a part of them family. Maybe that's one of my flaws but until you screw me over stabbing the back, I consider you family, after one or two meetings. That's how I am and that's the definition of family you don't actually have to be blood as long as you're there when

224
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:24,000
you're with you I consider you family so I mean am's been there quite a lot for me when I needed it and I'm pretty sure you Raul everybody else that's in here my voice will probably hear Doc vent occasionally I try not to vent out loud but occasionally.

225
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
100%.

226
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:36,000
So I hear back to am based on childhood dreams, if you follow through on it, what fantasy profession would you be now. I would be doctor fucking house.

227
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:49,000
I am I asked this question, something I didn't know about you so that's why I wanted candy to ask it so I'm like I'm curious shit like what were you gonna be as a kid so I'm curious.

228
00:24:49,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Throughout my entire element entire entire element, I feel like I'm feeling like my liquor that my entire elementary. I literally thought I was going to be a doctor right what the middle school thought I was going to be a doctor and someone was like hey, you know it's

229
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:10,000
like 50,000, and then you got to go to school for three four years and then school for three four years and then you gotta go to school for three I'm like, doing that.

230
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:18,000
I would love to have been the second Ben Carson without him being an idiot and power six right I would love to hear from people, I would love to hear from people.

231
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I got into high school. And this is I do this thing where I have a whole lot of tabs open I'm not going to try to do this but I was really in the in the cannabis at this time I've been not the marijuana for the artist.

232
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:38,000
I remember being in a psychological class, and she was like, can you give us a quote and I was like a blind man see failures progress for the voice, the voice of the fact that this is a logic.

233
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
She was like what does that mean I said what self explanatory.

234
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:54,000
But through that class and her challenging me right, I sat and I said, I'm going to heal people's brains. I forgot in my elevator pitch to say that I do have a bachelor's degree in psychology and I want to move from

235
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:04,000
my answer is easy that like up until age 14, I thought I would be a mad scientist like working in a lab mixing chemicals and that never happened.

236
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:12,000
My mom always make always makes she like, she has a chance to bring up she'll bring it up. I always want to be a cryptozoologist like finding Bigfoot and shit.

237
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Yeah.

238
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Really.

239
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Yeah, like I was always so interested in all that shit.

240
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:23,000
So, next question is going to be for you doc. So it'd be did you enjoy school, why, or why not.

241
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Yeah, I got my, and again it was self imposed my parents weren't my dad was super strict for. He wasn't a smart man. So you're super strict for like doing yard work and stuff so my skill isn't in doing yard work or fixing anything.

242
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:49,000
So my thing was in school I self imposed myself in kindergarten to never get a B in my life like VB whatever you want to call it. I had straight E's and straight A's until my 12th grade year.

243
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:59,000
I got my first two B's, and I graduated with all A's and two B's my entire high school, middle school and elementary school like age college that went out the window.

244
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Did I enjoy it I did for the academics. I was a nerd a little bit. So until I got to high school maybe when I started playing basketball I didn't like elementary school or middle school, and even the beginning of high school it was.

245
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:27,000
I'm a sensitive dude. So, yeah, take things personal and you know I don't like people picking on any nerd, not, I mean me but other people. And then when I started playing basketball it was like, now you accept me like this is some fake bullshit like don't pick on

246
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
my other nerd friends.

247
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,000
So right here again. What do you personally miss the most from your local battle leagues, and what do you miss the least.

248
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,000
The least is honestly the drama.

249
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:49,000
He's going to come in here and give me a hug every once in a while. I might throw him on air so that one. What's up Drew. He can do this.

250
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Hi, hi doc. Hi candy.

251
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Hi doc.

252
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
There you go.

253
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Okay.

254
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Honestly the aggression that I'm getting out is a very big dopamine dump that happens in a live battle, right, it's like a moment in time, where things freeze especially when you're remembering everything and or if you're free styling, and you're, and you're

255
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:34,000
doing everything perfectly and everybody's just like oh he's murdering this guy. He said he's going to do things to his mother and his girlfriend.

256
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Shaking a room. Shaking a room feeling the room shake, because you did something. Probably the craziest thing it's a drug. It's a drug and I swear to goodness once I get more time.

257
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:58,000
I'm going to I'm probably going to do verbal war zone that's been rapid overbeats, but I'll probably do that just because I want to make more music and it'll be easier to keep me engaged in music.

258
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:11,000
What I miss least least the thing I don't miss is what I say about my local battle league is all the drama right battle rappers are weird. Right, because they all go around pretending to be someone that they're not right.

259
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Now you've heard me. But you've heard me to get to that point from this voice here, it's a little bit. Right.

260
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:28,000
But that's it. How does that work, like do you guys tell each other beforehand hey like these are things for for you wouldn't talk about or everything's game.

261
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Everything is it so that's that's the thing so it really depends on the league that you're in right so so we don't really know what we're battling, but if we know because we got a guy get hit in the mouth, when they say hey please

262
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:49,000
I'm going to mention this is a subject. If you verbally agree to it, then you verbally agree to it so you don't go back on it if they've happened because you don't go through with your promise.

263
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
You know what I mean.

264
00:29:51,000 --> 00:30:04,000
I don't care about winning. I only care about then coming back to see both of them. Right. You want to put on the show. And again, the big thing about me not liking or the thing I don't like is we have to stop the show at some point and be real.

265
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Yeah, but then I don't.

266
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:17,000
In, in kind of comparison to him candy for me down here when I did the whole Miami for L'Oreal Boca Raton circuits those three cities.

267
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:29,000
For us at least, it was always any anything is, you know, nothing is off limits. They're a little bit more Boca Raton wasn't Boca Raton kind of has money but for L'Oreal Miami even West Palm.

268
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:37,000
The alternate leagues, everyone knows everybody and everyone knows your business. So, those are way more personal leagues where they would know.

269
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:51,000
You know, they pull out like a yearbook from your high school or middle school your book in a battle so I mean but I feel like that's kind of like, it's like, like to say all like you know, a banger your mom or a banger girlfriend I thought that's easy.

270
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
I don't know I just feel like that's, it's not intricate.

271
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:06,000
I agree with you. The reason why I did pretty well in those where I'm a little bit different than am I don't want to put on a good show I want to embarrass you, I want to embarrass you to the point where you don't want to come back to me and choke.

272
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:19,000
So, I only use personal so like a banger mom I banged your sister, none of that's truthful so I would never use that. But if you're the kid with a cleft lip in middle school I'm gonna make fun of your cleft lip.

273
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:33,000
I'm going to make fun of your physical deep, and I'm sure you can make fun of my physical defects too so it's, it's all fair game so I mean I think I am hit the nail on the head though it all depends on the league you're in and what city you're in I agree with them on that.

274
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:49,000
I mean, it's candy if you ever go back and watch the real the archive of videos of am rapping the one thing I will always give them credit for is he is a funny battle rapper way more funny and humorous than I would ever be.

275
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Sometimes he shakes the room sometimes he doesn't but it's always going to be funny.

276
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Now for Doc, you play any musical instrument, or have any hidden talents.

277
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Okay, um, I play piano a little bit some, maybe a couple dozen trainings in it.

278
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:19,000
But other than that everything's by ear I don't have any formal training and like violin or guitar I have a guitar I just don't know how to play as terms of hidden talents I got a shit ton he knows that too from my, from my Facebook page.

279
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:35,000
I draw really well my best friend and I James immune. We've been friends since we were two years old so I've known him for 3839 years. He draws really really well but more graffiti abstract world I draw more real life stuff I'll draw the alligator I'll draw

280
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:50,000
the leopard the tiger and then I also draw a little graffiti too so I mean and you guys know that when I put up like written verses. When I write a verse I'm doodling as I come up with lines so on the bottom of the paper you'll see like a doodle like a hawks talent or something

281
00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:07,000
like that. I love drawing. I never was a good cook, but I learned when I moved up here and I didn't have a job, how to cook well. I mean my degrees in civil engineering, I maybe not and mechanically inclined we're good with wrenches but I think of ways to fix things that

282
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
other people don't think of.

283
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Say so right now for am what's your three memorable most memorable trips versus the three places you want to visit the most.

284
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:24,000
These are going to be different. I got engaged in Louisiana, and it was a good time.

285
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:34,000
I go all out out there. And it was like the hood and I enjoyed that I don't know why I enjoyed that but I enjoyed that it was very very very home like I love.

286
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Disney World. I learned how to swim in Disney World, and I found out that I really like video games in Disney World and arcade outside next to the swimming pool, and they had these cool games it was free right these really cool games that I would play

287
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
there. I could never. It's so difficult finding old arcade games like that.

288
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:00,000
And I have one more one more. Where did I go, I went somewhere I went somewhere North Carolina Charlotte Charlotte, Charlotte, I think that's North.

289
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:14,000
I went to a place called Carol wins. It's an amusement park, their version of like six flags or virtually why that's that's here at a really really really good time, and this is going to be a weird thing to say but when I went down there.

290
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I left at my aunt's house, and I never stopped dreaming. I dream every night and I remember all my dreams every night but I started to remember all of my dreams.

291
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:38,000
There's three places that I would like to visit I would like to go see my grandmother in California. I would like love love to be on the West Coast for a little while, just to get a different vibe and see how the sun feels over there had to be just something

292
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,000
like that over there. Just had because I'm a anime fanatic.

293
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:51,000
I don't I don't know if they really like black people to really just like black people over there but I don't care. It's a risk I'm willing to take to eat some of their, their, their authentic motion.

294
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And a third place that I want I want to go to Mexico.

295
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Almost every year.

296
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
And I want to go right I'm not necessarily scared of the cartels or anything of that nature but I want to go in.

297
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Want to go enjoy with my sister enjoy she goes in and jump in caves and all kinds of stuff like that.

298
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:24,000
I see a lot of the videos and pictures, Dre puts up and I'm the same way it's, I love mythology so I my favorite three trips, obviously have been, I like Athens Greece best.

299
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:37,000
I like Rome Italy and that was a surprising one because that was my wife's bucket list trip and I think I had more fun there than she did. And then my third favorite trip was not Cancun but Riviera Maya Mexico that's where we went for our honeymoon.

300
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:45,000
And we went to like to Lume and Chichen Itza and it's like I saw a wonder of the world like so that's like my favorite places so it's funny that you brought that one up.

301
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:54,000
And then, if you're talking about Disney World you know we we live like a 21 minute drive from it so you have a place to stay at you don't need a hotel and you come to see it when you're growing up now.

302
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Yeah, we got it. We got it. We are, we make that trip. We have to go.

303
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Alright, that's alright Doc so as a twisted critic. What's your go to alcoholic drink.

304
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:18,000
My top go to alcoholic drinks. I'll put them in order for you. I got three. I'm a huge Captain Morgan dark liquor dark rum at all but I love Captain Morgan any dark rum dark Caribbean rum, I don't care where it's from.

305
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:27,000
I've had a Jamaican when I was really good, but Captain's one of my go to hence captain. I love Hennessy. Believe it or not, Hennessy I like a lot.

306
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Lately in the last year and a half immune my best friend James he put me on to. I don't like overly sweet whiskeys, but I do like just straight whiskey, and he put me on to smokey mountain salted caramel, and I'm like, that is the weirdest mix ever whiskey

307
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:58,000
with sugar, caramel, salt, and when I had it, him and I had a deep conversation with it. I don't chase it with anything I don't mix with anything and I still got two bottles of it in my cabinet right now.

308
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:05,000
So vice versa for you am. What's your top three on the mixed drink kind of cocktail.

309
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Right. Whoo. When I was when I was out college right I used to string, what we call it a blue motorcycle or a blue motherfucker. And I never knew what was in it I just, I saw grenadine and I was like, all right, cool.

310
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:27,000
They make everything in that everything 151 used to go in there before it was discontinued here.

311
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:46,000
So I had a blue one, two, three, and then they would put it in like a vodka, they will put a rum, they will put another rum they will put a jet. It was, it was literally what you would call a cocktail and I would drink those two all the time I have had a Bahamut nipple, and a, I would have a third drink.

312
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:55,000
I like gin now, and I will never, ever, ever sit and say that I like a gin and tonic Adam, they're always disgusting.

313
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,640
How do you feel about social media?

314
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,520
As a whole or for like music business, AM?

315
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,440
I was gonna say as a whole.

316
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Okay, it's interesting.

317
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,400
I have a love-hate relationship with it.

318
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,840
Most of my family members, including my mom right now, I think it's because she's dating

319
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,360
somebody, and that's very new for our family.

320
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,240
She's hating social media because someone hijacked her Facebook page.

321
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,700
So she lost thousands of photos and hundreds of videos.

322
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:23,880
My brother-in-law, a couple of cousins, a couple of my cousins, a couple of her cousins

323
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:29,360
during voting season for the election, they get very nasty with each other.

324
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:35,600
So yeah, so my belief, I love social media, and sometimes they don't, so I gotta pretend

325
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,720
I don't.

326
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:40,880
I think you get out of it what you put into it, and I think if you have a lot of those

327
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,560
friends like favorite it on your Facebook page, you see the trash they talk about, both

328
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,520
opposing sides, not just the good side or bad side, both opposing sides.

329
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,760
If you use it to keep in touch with friends, family, and old classmates, it's lovely.

330
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,560
There are family in Puerto Rico I've never met that I'm now pen pals to because of social

331
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,560
media.

332
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,480
So I think you get out of it for what you use it for.

333
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,840
If you get on there as your soapbox to talk about how the COVID vaccine killed everyone,

334
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,200
I don't wanna hear what you're talking about.

335
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,200
But if you're there to talk to me what you're working on, how's your son doing AM, that

336
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,880
type of stuff, you're using social media for what it's used for.

337
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,640
So I love it for that reason.

338
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,920
Okay, so right here.

339
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,600
It's actually a back to back question for you doc.

340
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:24,600
Okay.

341
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,520
I don't know if anyone sees doc personal Facebook, how do you feel about the cookie?

342
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,520
Oh, good Lord AM you know that, you're gonna be a blast.

343
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Okay, so I love food.

344
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,080
Before I moved to central Florida, I never weighed more than 135 pounds.

345
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,320
I now weigh 194, 195 pounds.

346
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,320
And I always fluctuate.

347
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,520
You know, I'll go back to 175 and go back to 199.

348
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,780
I love cooking and I eat while I'm cooking.

349
00:39:51,780 --> 00:39:56,400
So that's where I put on a lot of my my my chicha, my weight.

350
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,280
I did not cook well and if Jean was here, she would definitely tell you that I did not

351
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,120
cook well when we first started dating.

352
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,120
I didn't cook well.

353
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,080
Mom did everything for us at home.

354
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,440
Like again, she's a soldier.

355
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,280
She did everything for us.

356
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,080
When I first moved up here, I couldn't find a job for like 10 or 11 months.

357
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,080
That's a long time that I have a job for a person that likes to work too much.

358
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,560
So I took care of our dog.

359
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,520
We moved up to Mount Verde, Florida, which is here in central Florida and kind of in

360
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,720
the woods.

361
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,840
So I the property hasn't been touched for three years.

362
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,840
So I kind of had to make the pool swimmable again.

363
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,200
That took me two months to do.

364
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,500
It had like lily pads.

365
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:33,500
It was bad.

366
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:34,500
Oh, wow.

367
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:35,500
Yeah, it was bad.

368
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:36,760
Trees grew wild.

369
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,820
So like I had to I like animals.

370
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:39,820
I like insects.

371
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:40,820
I like snakes.

372
00:40:40,820 --> 00:40:42,600
So seeing that didn't bother me.

373
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:48,040
But my off time, other than doing yard work and cleaning the pool, I'd watch a lot of

374
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:53,040
cooking shows like Man vs. Food, Chopped, anything like that.

375
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,000
And watching those things, I started picking up like these hints in my head, like I would

376
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
love to try that.

377
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
I'd love to try that.

378
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
I'd love to try that.

379
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,680
And that's the way my brain works too.

380
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,640
My wife prefers to the easiest way, like the easiest way possible.

381
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,080
Don't do something, something very meticulous recipe.

382
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,720
So she had a death.

383
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,320
She went to visit North Carolina, her mother in North Carolina.

384
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,760
And while she was in North Carolina, she was only supposed to be gone for a week.

385
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,480
And then they had a death in the family in Puerto Rico.

386
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,480
So she called me and said, hey, do you mind if I go there?

387
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,240
I'm like, me and the dog are great.

388
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:27,240
She's like, are you living?

389
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:28,240
Like, are you eating?

390
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:30,720
I'm like, don't worry, I'm good.

391
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:35,680
When she came back, I think the only thing I cooked good was like at that time were eggs,

392
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:36,680
ramen, and burgers.

393
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,160
That was the only thing I could cook good before I kind of was left alone.

394
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,080
And then when she came back, she's like, oh, what is it?

395
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Trying to joke like when picking up for the airport, is it burger night or egg night?

396
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,200
I'm like, you know, fuck you.

397
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,880
I'll surprise you when you get home.

398
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:56,560
When she came home, I already had prepared for her a stuffed prosciutto and cheese pork

399
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,600
chop with an applesauce puree and like wild rice and like Brussels sprouts.

400
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,920
And she's like, where did my boyfriend go?

401
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:04,920
And where did you bury him?

402
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,840
And I'm like, I didn't have you here to tell me no.

403
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,440
So I cooked what my heart desire.

404
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,520
From that day on, now I cook whatever I want and she's 90% happy with it.

405
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,500
So we're gonna move on to a very AM question.

406
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:27,200
So for the lady listeners, what's your tried and true go to move to inspire or seduce kinky

407
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,200
this AM?

408
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,200
To do so woman?

409
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,200
Yeah, what would you?

410
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:36,080
What's your go to move to keep things up a bit?

411
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,040
To get the clothes to fall off.

412
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,040
Fucking caveman.

413
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,040
Gonna eat your pussy.

414
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Come here.

415
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:48,400
I don't have like if we've gotten to the point where we're intimate, like and I mean like

416
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
we're around each other one on one and we know what we're doing.

417
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,800
I'm not gonna, hey babe, why don't you lay on the bed over there?

418
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:55,800
I don't really have that.

419
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:56,800
Lay the fuck down.

420
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,800
You know what we're doing.

421
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:58,800
Put your feet up.

422
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,720
See, I think I think marriage is what's me up.

423
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:06,200
I'm like, I'm more of like a maybe candy will get my back on this one.

424
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,360
I'm more of like I'll cook you a meal, have dishes done and oh, do you need a back rub?

425
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,440
Oh, we know what the back rub is doing.

426
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:19,360
Hey, if my shirt starts to fall off during the back rub and you feel my chest on your

427
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,920
back, hey, that's hey, so be it.

428
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,920
This knows what it means.

429
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,720
So wait, wait, why are you laughing?

430
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:35,040
Because it's so I feel like people, especially that been together for a while, that back

431
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,880
rub go to move is is deadly.

432
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,880
It is.

433
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:39,880
It is.

434
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:46,040
But uh, so I hear Doug, what's your two or three biggest red flags that turned you off

435
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,040
on a date?

436
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,760
Damn, A.M. you and I ask the same question to each other.

437
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,760
I'll give you three.

438
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:53,760
I'll give you three.

439
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:54,760
Um, I'm very easy.

440
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,040
So this will be a short, no stories in this one.

441
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:01,160
I'm one of those weird people that have to be your friends before you do anything physical.

442
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:08,160
So if you're not honest with me or have secrecy, that's the biggest red flag for me.

443
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,280
Like I won't be even giving you my attention or time.

444
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,600
I love big smiles like someone that can laugh.

445
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,000
I mean, I'm corny, but if you can laugh at my jokes or where I bring you and people we

446
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,180
hang out with, if you can't do that, that's a red flag.

447
00:44:21,180 --> 00:44:26,440
You know, if you can't laugh and don't have a sense of humor, big red flag, bad breath.

448
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:27,440
Yeah.

449
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:32,960
I got, I got steak breath a little bit too, but yo, there's like, there's tic tacs, there's

450
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,960
breath mints, there's swish.

451
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,960
You can use a lot of things.

452
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,640
Like just give me the benefit of the doubt of where your breath doesn't smell that bad.

453
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:40,640
All right.

454
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,640
Vice versa of you, A.M. same question.

455
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:42,640
I'm about to tell y'all a horrible story.

456
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:43,640
This is why she said I'm a caveman.

457
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:44,640
So I had a whole lot of nice sex, but her breath was always stinking because she had

458
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:45,640
a broken tooth in her mouth.

459
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,640
One day she was giving me head and she was like, I'm going to go to the bathroom.

460
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,640
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

461
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:48,640
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

462
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,640
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

463
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,640
I'm going to go to the bathroom.

464
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:56,640
I'm going to go to the bathroom, but her breath was always stinking because she had a broken

465
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:57,640
tooth in her mouth.

466
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:58,640
One day she was giving me head and her broken tooth was cutting my dick.

467
00:44:58,640 --> 00:44:59,640
I kept going.

468
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:00,640
I kept going.

469
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:01,640
I didn't give a fuck.

470
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,640
I ain't going to lie to you.

471
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:03,640
I didn't give a fuck.

472
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:04,640
Fuck.

473
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:05,640
I was bleeding though.

474
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,640
I was bleeding, right?

475
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,640
But I didn't care.

476
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,640
I was like, look, we going to finish.

477
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,640
Finish what we started.

478
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:14,640
So red flag, not having a complete tooth.

479
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,640
Literally a red flag.

480
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,640
It was red as blood, red flag.

481
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,640
So damn, red is my favorite color.

482
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,640
Let me see.

483
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,880
A second red flag for me is also, it's a personality thing, right?

484
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:34,760
I just really started getting in a red flag after my last relationship with you, Mommy.

485
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:39,520
I had a woman that I was dealing with right after her and we did not agree in ideology.

486
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:46,400
And it was the hardest thing in my head to deal with because I was physically attracted

487
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,400
to her.

488
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:52,800
I really, really, really liked her, but I was like, the way you do things, trash.

489
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,800
Inner city kids will always die in the hood.

490
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,800
How are you going to say that 100%?

491
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:58,800
It's the truth.

492
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,800
That's exactly what I'm saying.

493
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,800
You're going to walk outside of your house and get shot in the face.

494
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,800
I'm like, you know what?

495
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,800
Maybe we don't need to deal with each other.

496
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,800
Big ass red flag.

497
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,800
For real.

498
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:16,760
So I hear that being a new father now, who are some of the sources you rely on for baby

499
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,360
parity advice?

500
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,760
Hey, I'm not a pro or veteran at this.

501
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,440
I suck at this actually.

502
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,160
So I reach out to any friend I know that has kids.

503
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,760
So like, AM's got it before I asked him advice.

504
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:36,720
Again, maybe because I grew up with strong women in my life, while I was in middle school,

505
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:40,440
high school and college, more of my friends are girls more than anything.

506
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,520
Nothing like all platonic, not anything like physical.

507
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:44,520
So I've asked them before.

508
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,960
I've texted them like, hey, when did your son stop having bad sleeping nights?

509
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,960
And they're like, he's two and he still has bad sleeping nights.

510
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,960
So I'm like, okay, well, I notice every kid's different.

511
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,680
So I take everything I hear from a grain of salt.

512
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,200
But if I think I've asked 10 people the same question, I'll get a nice ballpark of what

513
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,200
I'm looking forward to.

514
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,300
And AM is one of those people.

515
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:05,800
So those are my go-to people.

516
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,240
Friends, AM, family.

517
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:13,120
The only thing I won't do, Gene uses Pinterest and Google a fucking lot.

518
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,080
And there's so much poison out there.

519
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,080
So I'd rather ask people.

520
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,080
Yeah, for sure.

521
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,840
I'd rather ask people who have been through it.

522
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,440
So right here for you, AM, how has fatherhood changed any of your thoughts or approach to

523
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,440
your own music?

524
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,160
Fatherhood turned me into a lion and a person.

525
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,920
I want to beat people up much more after having a son.

526
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:37,640
So in terms of music for me, and we're going to say thoughts, right?

527
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:38,640
Thoughts.

528
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,320
I want to put more positive music out, right?

529
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,760
I want to put more positive music out.

530
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:51,520
I had a thing where I fell into being very socially conscious anyway, right?

531
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,360
One of the last mixtapes I did was called Society.

532
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,900
And it was all me talking about things that are going on, people dying in the streets.

533
00:47:58,900 --> 00:48:01,120
But I had to really think about this, right?

534
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,720
Because I was around in my city for the pretty great thing happening.

535
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:08,000
I was actually in some of the riots that were going on here.

536
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:14,280
So I always, after having him, I thought to myself, I got to make sure that whatever

537
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:19,800
I'm doing isn't going to be too much poison for it, if that makes sense.

538
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,640
Like I'm going to still do hardcore rap.

539
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,040
I'm going to still stand or shoot people in the forehead and things of that nature.

540
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,800
But my overall message is going to be mental health.

541
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,120
Because of it.

542
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:35,920
So right here for you, Doc, four of your all time favorite non-rappers and non-urban artists.

543
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,920
Oh, damn, AM.

544
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:38,920
OK.

545
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,920
It makes me think outside the box.

546
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:41,960
I love Michael Jackson.

547
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,880
I think he's the greatest artist of all time.

548
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,680
He touched people in multiple genres.

549
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,720
People before him, people during him, and people after him.

550
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:54,240
And I think his music will go on to touch people after me.

551
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,080
Michael Jackson be one.

552
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,120
I love Linkin Park.

553
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,120
I love, especially when they burst on the scene, I love everything they did.

554
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,000
The whole rock rap screamo, mixing it together.

555
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,640
It blended so well.

556
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,840
Other people have tried it and never worked so well.

557
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,240
But especially their first three albums.

558
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:12,240
Plastic material.

559
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,840
I would never cut that out of my top 100 albums ever.

560
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,200
All three of them.

561
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,160
So Michael Jackson, Linkin Park.

562
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,000
OK, here's a curveball one.

563
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,400
There's a lot of other people I could throw up there.

564
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,520
I probably can name like 25 for this.

565
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:30,000
But my brother-in-law, Alberto, shout out to Alberto, put me on to Iron Maiden.

566
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,360
And I'm not a heavy metal fan in any way whatsoever.

567
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,320
I'm not the biggest fan of Metallica, Ice, Earth.

568
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:35,320
None of those people.

569
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,120
Pantera, nothing.

570
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,160
Iron Maiden made soft rock metal.

571
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,840
They added, I love poetry.

572
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,920
I read a lot of poetry.

573
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,320
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is that type of record they put out.

574
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,320
It's a nine minute record.

575
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,160
Ten minute record.

576
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,000
But I love it.

577
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,960
All their albums have a theme and all the songs fit that theme.

578
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,520
I wish rappers followed that scope for the whole album long.

579
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,440
Jay-Z kind of did it with American Gangster.

580
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,120
Very few people do it well.

581
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,560
And Iron Maiden does it extremely well.

582
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,520
And it's not so hard in stream mode that I don't feel it.

583
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,960
It's soft enough for I get it.

584
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,840
It's a little operatic and it's a lot of poetry.

585
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:15,840
But I love poetry.

586
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,200
So I like Iron Maiden a lot too.

587
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,040
I've seen them live once too and they barely come to the United States.

588
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,120
So that's pretty cool.

589
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:30,000
So A.M. for you, what's your most successful song versus what song you own is kind of most

590
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,840
important for you so far?

591
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:41,320
My song about my father is actually both my most successful and my most important song.

592
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,360
I literally was writing this song as he was dying.

593
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,960
And you'll hear this song that I know he's dying.

594
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:49,960
I know he's dying.

595
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,280
I know, I thank God, I know this is the last time.

596
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,880
I was afraid to go to the hospital and see him, but I wound up seeing him.

597
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,480
And he literally, he didn't die in my arms.

598
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:00,480
He didn't die.

599
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,080
I was there with his cold body hugging and all that.

600
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,880
It was quite crazy.

601
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,240
But in the back of my mind the entire time I was hugging him, I said, I just wrote this

602
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:10,040
fucking song and I have to release it.

603
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:16,040
Did a video in a graveyard and it had been one of the most successful songs that I had

604
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:22,520
on my YouTube without me having to promote it just because of what it feels like.

605
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,680
Because trying to get up, I think.

606
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,280
I had a voice, name it what, the last part of it.

607
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,280
I can't listen to it though.

608
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,280
When it came out, I still can't really listen to it.

609
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,280
Wow.

610
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:38,160
But I mean, it's surprising because you have some people that, you know, most artists,

611
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,520
they have their most successful is a hit single.

612
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:41,520
Oopsie.

613
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:42,520
Oh fuck.

614
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,520
I heard you.

615
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:44,520
Did he notice it?

616
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,520
Did he notice it?

617
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:46,520
Did he notice it?

618
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:47,520
Yeah, I'm getting ready.

619
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,520
I don't think Candy caught that.

620
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,520
As soon as you said that I was like, yup.

621
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:50,520
He's like, Doc, what you doing?

622
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,520
He did it on purpose.

623
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:52,520
He did it on purpose.

624
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:53,520
He said it on purpose.

625
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:54,520
He said it on purpose.

626
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,520
He said it on purpose.

627
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:56,520
He said it on purpose.

628
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:57,520
He said it on purpose.

629
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:58,520
He said it on purpose.

630
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,520
He said it on purpose.

631
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:00,520
He said it on purpose.

632
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,800
I did do it on purpose, but the meaningfulness of it, a lot of times these hit singles aren't

633
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,000
the most significant song of some of these artists.

634
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,960
And I'm happy that you're one of the rare cases that they're both, I mean, you're most

635
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,960
successful and your most significant song is the same thing.

636
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,680
So I raise a shot glass to that.

637
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,680
Salud.

638
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:20,680
Salud.

639
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,680
All right, let's get through these questions.

640
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:28,120
I want to talk about music.

641
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,360
So the next one's going to be for you, Doc.

642
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:35,320
What's two or three of your achievements in the music business that you are most proud

643
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:36,320
of?

644
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,960
The degree is one of them.

645
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,760
I think that opened the door for everything.

646
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,000
Copyright and trademark law.

647
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,840
Thank you, Florida Atlantic University, Professor Zager.

648
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,840
He was one of the executive producers on Whitney Houston's first album.

649
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,920
And when I walked into his office and saw the multi-platin plaque, I was like, I want

650
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:53,920
to be that.

651
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,080
Starting, hear my voice and building lifelong friendships with some people.

652
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,720
There's some people we voted off the island.

653
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:05,520
Look at a couple people we voted off the island.

654
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,960
But for the most part, everyone that joins you, my voice, I think leave it even Plies.

655
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,720
Plies has been a person Plies and Jin.

656
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:14,600
Jin's a battle rapper that used to be done with Rough Riders.

657
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:19,040
They were part time members for like five or six months until they got signed.

658
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,440
And then I never got a call from them ever again.

659
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,700
They used not just us, but they joined every membership they could to build their bio and

660
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:28,640
resume to get the record deals.

661
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:29,840
And I have no problem with that.

662
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:34,480
I think everyone left, hear my voice with more knowledge and music business than they

663
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,440
definitely ever had when they got to me.

664
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:37,720
Yeah, 100%.

665
00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:41,080
And then third is a personal one, a fun one.

666
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:45,920
I love sitting panels at conferences and I was at a Tampa conference once.

667
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,640
T-Pain asked a question to me and then asked two more questions afterwards because he didn't

668
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,640
understand copyrights.

669
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,920
And this is a multi-platinum artist.

670
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,920
I don't normally get starstruck and I didn't get starstruck there.

671
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,760
I think the only person I've been starstruck in front of is Wendy Day.

672
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,080
I hope she's listening to this.

673
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:07,160
But no, it was very humbling to me that someone as big as T-Pain would ask someone as little

674
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,200
as me music business copyright law questions.

675
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,000
And as soon as I answered it, he's writing it down and everything.

676
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,000
I mean, you could, it was, he was being humble and it humbled me.

677
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,520
That's, that's, that's what I'll say.

678
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:25,320
Like to see artists that have already made it, but now making their own indie labels,

679
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,880
ask me music business questions and I'm teaching them.

680
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,120
That was probably the third most that might move.

681
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,240
That might slide to one and two sometimes too, but that's like the top three.

682
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:41,360
So for you, AM music wise, what personally is more important to you lyrics or beats?

683
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:42,360
And you know, tell us why.

684
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,760
And I know for me personally, I'm going to just put it out there.

685
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,680
I think for me beats is more important.

686
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:48,680
I think so.

687
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:49,680
We are now.

688
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,640
I guess how weak lyricism is right now.

689
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:52,640
Yeah.

690
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,640
You're not going to get any.

691
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:54,640
That's the funniest thing.

692
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,640
Like, and you saying that change, change how I felt about this question.

693
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,640
Cause I would, I personally sit down, buy, buy, buy.

694
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,640
You're not getting lyrics, right?

695
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:10,120
So you have to, you have to get something else and you cannot buy with in the background.

696
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,240
You buy, you buy with everything being composed.

697
00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:14,240
Well, can you get that?

698
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:15,240
That was, that was, that was me doing that.

699
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:16,240
The cannabis and Wacliff.

700
00:55:16,240 --> 00:55:22,400
Hey, that cannabis first album was, was dope to me.

701
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,400
I'm sorry.

702
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:29,200
I'm a huge cannabis fan, but, but the, the beats on that were trash.

703
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:30,960
The better beats he had, right.

704
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,440
It felt, it felt better.

705
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,440
Like I would have to ignore it.

706
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:35,880
I'd have to ignore it.

707
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:36,880
Right.

708
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:37,880
And that's the problem.

709
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,680
It doesn't, for me, it doesn't have to be super dope production, but it has to be competent

710
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:43,680
for us.

711
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:44,680
Right.

712
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:49,240
Because you think Nas and Nas is always one of those who have been attacked for his beat

713
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:50,240
selection.

714
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,240
Right.

715
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:54,240
Uchi Wale was, I'm not going to say Uchi Wale was bad.

716
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:55,240
Right.

717
00:55:55,240 --> 00:55:56,240
Okay.

718
00:55:56,240 --> 00:55:57,240
You'll say it.

719
00:55:57,240 --> 00:55:58,240
You'll say it.

720
00:55:58,240 --> 00:55:59,240
So we can say it.

721
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:00,240
We'll agree on this.

722
00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:01,240
Uchi Wale was trash.

723
00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:02,240
It was trash.

724
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:03,240
Right.

725
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,040
The song itself was trash because the beat was trash.

726
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,520
We know you had to write for this.

727
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:07,520
Right.

728
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,560
And that's case in point for a person who's a phenomenal writer.

729
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:11,560
Right.

730
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,400
But the way I feel, I'm going to try to write around with it.

731
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,360
The way I feel with this right now, we don't have lyricism in the game enough for us to

732
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,800
sit and have beats that are going to, we're not going to have songs that are going to

733
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:22,800
be able to highlight that.

734
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,920
So we have to have something else take the place of it.

735
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:31,000
So I'll say, and I'll stand on it, beats right now are more important than lyrics.

736
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,600
Candy, let me throw you two thought bombs on this because me and A.M. go back and forth

737
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:35,600
on all this all the time.

738
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,200
And I'll keep them really short.

739
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,520
One of them was my wife, Jean, when we were dating.

740
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,200
She came down to FAU, Sling K, who's also an A&R at Hear My Voice.

741
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,800
We all went, Ricky B is a DJ down there.

742
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,240
He had a break, your friend named Triggo.

743
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:54,440
We all went to go see the movie when it came out, Get Richard, Die Trying with 50 Cent.

744
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:59,040
And Jean and I had multiple, I'm talking about dozens of arguments that girls listen to

745
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,120
beats, guys listen to lyrics.

746
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,520
That's why I'm a little upset with A.M. saying that, but it's okay.

747
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,800
I think it's the time and place we live at.

748
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,720
We were watching the movie Get Richard, Die Trying, and when 50 steps in the booth, you

749
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:14,800
hear the Dr. Dre beat, and then he puts the headphones on and the effect of him putting

750
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,040
the headphones on mutes out the beat.

751
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,040
So he's in the quiet booth rapping.

752
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,400
And my wife looks over at Sling K and I and goes, is that what you hear?

753
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,080
50 Cent has the worst flow ever.

754
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,680
It's the beats that make him famous.

755
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,920
And we were like, I'm in love.

756
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:37,800
Because it's the truth, like I feel like 50 Cent has a very, very nursery rhyme flow,

757
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,920
but the Dr. Dre beats, M&M beats really give him a boost.

758
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,480
And a lot of rappers are like that.

759
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:48,280
That's not taking anything away from 50, but that's where maybe I don't think it's just

760
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:49,880
beat or just lyrics.

761
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:56,320
My compromise with A.M. is does the lyrics that you're trying to write to it match the

762
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,320
vibe of the beat?

763
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,920
And if it doesn't, you have no business being an artist.

764
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,600
That's where I'm at in 2023.

765
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:10,120
But I think we just did a song on this past week where it was kind of like a upbeat type

766
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,040
of beat and like the lyrics were all said.

767
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:18,680
If I was on the panel, I'd be talking shit about this.

768
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,600
But yeah, I was just kind of like, ah, you know, I feel like that's kind of what's hitting

769
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:22,600
right now.

770
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,520
You know, upbeat beats with kind of pressing lyrics.

771
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,520
I disagree, but okay.

772
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:37,640
So, right here for Doc, which two or three artists would you say that your pen is more

773
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:38,640
inspired by?

774
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,000
Like what inspired your writing style?

775
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,400
I see what A.M. was trying to do with me.

776
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:44,400
All right.

777
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:45,400
I'll go with three.

778
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:50,080
I'll say three make up Doc J. I love multiple rhyme schemes.

779
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,480
So Cool G Rap is one of my favorite like low key artists that people don't know.

780
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:59,440
He's one of the few dudes that invented multiple rhyme schemes where instead of rhyming Pat

781
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:04,880
with cat with gat with bat, he rhymed like five words together and every line had five

782
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,480
words that rhyme together.

783
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,640
That's my style in a nutshell.

784
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,040
Fabulous does it, but sometimes his topics are kind of shaky.

785
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:16,920
But I give Fabulous some respect for also respecting Cool G Rap as well.

786
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,360
Cool G Rap definitely.

787
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:25,640
I mean from how it goes, I mean, I think I stabbed my quote unquote imaginary girlfriend

788
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,280
with a spear and throw her over a pier.

789
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:33,000
So Eminem touched my soul with like especially his like first three or four albums.

790
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:39,240
Like I like the real life issues like the domestic, maybe not domestic violence, but

791
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,920
what goes on in my domestic life, paying bills, paying mortgage.

792
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,520
I want to be a regular Joe rapper.

793
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:47,880
I don't want to talk about the car I don't own or the stacks I don't have.

794
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,340
We have a very, very nice house.

795
00:59:50,340 --> 00:59:52,300
We have no debt.

796
00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:53,300
We have solar panels.

797
00:59:53,300 --> 00:59:54,300
We have that.

798
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:59,080
I am comfortable with that, but I'm not going to be talking about like Bugatti's that I

799
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,080
don't own.

800
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,400
So I mean, definitely Eminem's there.

801
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,400
Cool G Rap.

802
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:04,920
And then Nas is my favorite MC ever.

803
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:10,720
I mean, I think the way he sticks to a topic and gives you that vivid imagery of the streets

804
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:16,040
and way people that are a little bit less intelligent than him can understand what he's

805
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,200
talking about.

806
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:18,200
I love that writing.

807
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,960
I've always aspired to be like that.

808
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,760
So I mean, and then to throw like a 3B in there.

809
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,760
I love Master 8, like his concept albums of like going to rap college.

810
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,680
He's another person that inspired me a lot too.

811
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,000
So maybe like those three or four.

812
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:37,600
So right here for you, AM, for for inspiring artists and rappers, how would you break down

813
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,360
your personal writing process?

814
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:44,720
I throw paint at a fucking wall.

815
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,720
That's my writing.

816
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:50,120
And that's like right now, and I'm not going to do it, but I'll do it.

817
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,000
And this is this is actually something really cool, right?

818
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:00,560
If I were to write right now, which I could, I would go with whatever that pops into my

819
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:06,360
head, even if I don't have a seat, I did not say philanthropy person here that did it,

820
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:07,360
did it, that damaged me.

821
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,360
I'm with John something with a candle be right.

822
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,000
I'm going to run with that.

823
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,240
That is now the rhyme scheme for everything that I'm running with.

824
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:20,880
And I'm not going back and I'm not editing a fucking thing, Doc, because I feel like

825
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:29,040
when I'm my most inspired, it's when it's the best music, right?

826
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,800
We should have it.

827
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,240
Let me explain something to Candy.

828
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,280
AM, let me explain something to Candy real quick, though.

829
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,120
The reason why I asked that question, Candy, if you and I asked him to write a verse on

830
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:44,320
a song about heartbreak today and tomorrow, we would get two totally different verses.

831
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:45,640
So I guess that's why I asked that question.

832
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,400
I would like I'd like to know.

833
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:48,880
I've never been in the room with him.

834
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,960
I wrote nor has he been in the room with me.

835
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:51,960
Why?

836
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:52,960
Why I wrote.

837
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,520
But we have probably totally different sacred writing styles.

838
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,520
And I'd love to know how he did it.

839
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:01,600
Like, is it just you write 16 bars or do you do double standard?

840
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:07,360
I don't think I don't want to think I don't like thinking like like if we already pick

841
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,320
a topic, we're going to write about the topic.

842
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,480
I don't like sitting, saying and I know how you write.

843
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,320
We actually had a conversation about how you write.

844
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:18,200
I don't like having to build a 16.

845
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,000
I built 16 in battle.

846
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,440
So that's that's that's the funniest thing.

847
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:26,440
Like I literally got you have actually seen me write that.

848
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,120
I have.

849
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,880
They are themed right there.

850
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,480
Topical right.

851
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:33,840
I don't like going at him.

852
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:34,840
Right.

853
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,520
And I think for me, it's always been me and my purest form.

854
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,960
And I'm not sitting there thinking I'm like I'm feeling and like you said, there's so

855
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:41,960
many voices up here.

856
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,880
You're going to get a different because I might love love today, but I might hate love

857
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:46,880
tomorrow.

858
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:47,880
But it's still love.

859
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:48,880
Right.

860
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:49,880
I might be different about love through nature.

861
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:50,880
Right.

862
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:51,880
But it still is love.

863
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,440
Candy, candy opposed to him.

864
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,160
This is where the nerd in me comes in like me and being a straight A student.

865
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:03,280
If A.M. sends me a beat or a hook and it gives me a theme for the song, I am going to drive

866
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,520
around on it for three days.

867
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,440
I'm going to pull out a notepad and write out some some thoughts, some bullet point,

868
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,320
bullet point, bullet point, bullet point.

869
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:13,980
So about four bullet points.

870
01:03:13,980 --> 01:03:14,980
And there you go.

871
01:03:14,980 --> 01:03:17,000
That gives me my I already know what A.M.'s rhyme scheme is.

872
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,880
And him and I are very good at mimicking each other's rhyme schemes.

873
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,840
I think we're both very structured well.

874
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,680
Like once we figure out the multiple rhyme scheme, we could do the same shit.

875
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,640
But where I get my points is I want to touch on like I'm doing a record with my nephew

876
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,840
Cruxton Jose that you guys know, it's called Clown and the Carnival.

877
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:34,840
And I'm sitting there.

878
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,080
I already wrote wrote out my little cheat sheet.

879
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:41,920
I'm like trapeze artist, ringmaster, fighting a bear, bearded woman.

880
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,000
I already know what my bars are going to be like.

881
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,280
I now just got to put the dots together.

882
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:47,280
So that's how I write.

883
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,280
Gotcha.

884
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:52,920
So right right here for you, Doug, if you could have a beer or a coffee that anybody

885
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,200
dead or alive, who would it be?

886
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:56,200
Damn A.M.

887
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:57,200
Jim psychological.

888
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,920
That's that that's psychologically psychology degree he's got.

889
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,000
I would say two people, three people.

890
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,520
I'll say three people.

891
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:06,520
Number one.

892
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:07,520
And he knows this already.

893
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:08,520
I think we've had this discussion before.

894
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,000
I want to it wouldn't be a coffee.

895
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,520
It would probably be a beer shot with my dad.

896
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:18,160
But my dad, I'd like to know why and get some unanswered questions answered, you know, is

897
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:22,960
even proud of what I'm doing and like how I'm helping friends and child and all that

898
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,680
stuff, wife, everything.

899
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:30,920
You know, dad and a combination of I'd love to sit down with Martin Luther King and Adolf

900
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,520
Hitler.

901
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:40,560
I would like to think what they what was their process to get people to buy into what I know

902
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:41,560
Martin Luther King.

903
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,160
I've read some bios on him and he would write out the entire speech.

904
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,200
And then when he three quarters of the way through it, realize that it's not hitting

905
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,760
the people like it's supposed to and freestyle the last quarter of it.

906
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,920
And I think I think I am I am and I are similar like that.

907
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,440
But at the same time, I think I am like way, way less similar to that.

908
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:04,240
All of that freestyle for am but I would love to sit down with them and know if like, do

909
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:05,520
they even like my style?

910
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:06,640
Do they like what I'm doing?

911
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:07,920
Do they like what I'm preaching?

912
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:08,920
What I'm teaching?

913
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:10,460
Am I touching the people?

914
01:05:10,460 --> 01:05:14,280
So those would be the three people I'd want to drink, maybe not a coffee, but a drink

915
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,760
or a beer or shot or cocktail with.

916
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:18,760
OK.

917
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,360
So, you know, now now for your real question.

918
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,560
That was just my personal question.

919
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:24,560
OK.

920
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,960
Do you listen to or prefer a podcast?

921
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,600
You know, so which ones do you listen to most?

922
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:30,600
All right.

923
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:31,600
So you keep it in the podcast.

924
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,160
This is a pilot podcast.

925
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,120
Who's our competition?

926
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,400
I was raised for most of my life.

927
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:39,600
I grew up in South Florida.

928
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,800
So my mentor is DJ EFN.

929
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:46,280
I love what he did coming up as DJ, his mix tapes, phrase, he had productions.

930
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,880
Garcia is a personal friend of mine.

931
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,320
DJ Champs is one of my favorite podcasts ever.

932
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,240
A million dollars worth of game is really dope.

933
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:58,080
I love my little brother and I, Dan Mann and I love Joe Rogan's podcast.

934
01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:59,240
I love UFC.

935
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:06,760
So I like listening AM to Michael Bisbin and Anthony Lionheart Smith's podcast.

936
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:07,760
Love it.

937
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:08,760
Oh, the era.

938
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,440
What was the name of that podcast?

939
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,760
The the blog era is another.

940
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,120
They're more like it's sort of being podcasts where discussions.

941
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,480
They'll pick one topic and give you a history of the topic.

942
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,520
I really like that podcast to it.

943
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:27,360
Probably in the last six months, the blog era.

944
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,200
By the way, all those are competitions to us.

945
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,160
They definitely are.

946
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:39,280
I think we should we should have a shot just for to our competition.

947
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,280
We're about to kill it.

948
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:42,280
Absolutely.

949
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:47,760
I really hope Mr. Eric, Mr. DJ EFN is watching this.

950
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:54,200
I want you on the show because he's got has a second child, newly second child, and he's

951
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,680
a person that I look up to and I don't want to copycat.

952
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,360
So I definitely would love him to be on our show and give us our blessing.

953
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,360
Give us his blessing.

954
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,080
Salud.

955
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,520
So this is the AM.

956
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:15,240
This is kind of more of a personal tough question just for the candy candy candy.

957
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:16,240
You got to say it right.

958
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,920
This is more of I want to start some bullshit.

959
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,560
I'm not trying to back over here trying.

960
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:23,560
You know what?

961
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:28,520
So I said of yourself, who's a couple HM HMV artists?

962
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,440
Would you hear my voice?

963
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,760
Would you often enjoy listening to the lyrics of the most and most importantly, why is it

964
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:34,760
Raul?

965
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:35,760
Shut up, my boy.

966
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:36,760
It's not Raul.

967
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:37,760
It's not.

968
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:38,760
It's not.

969
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:39,760
It's not.

970
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:40,760
It's not.

971
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:41,760
It's not.

972
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:42,760
It's not.

973
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:43,760
It's not.

974
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:44,760
It's not.

975
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:45,760
It's not.

976
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,800
And by the way, you guys are sleeping on Raul.

977
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:49,800
Candy, candy.

978
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:50,800
Candy.

979
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:56,640
There may be shots in a future record coming at Mr. A. Booty from the UK that he can't

980
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,200
take personal criticism.

981
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,280
And I think I've been the nicest person to him.

982
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,560
So but I don't want to take AM spotlight.

983
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,960
Who are like the top like one or two people you listen to it.

984
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,240
Hear my voice that you you respect.

985
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,340
There you would cuz I have to outweigh people.

986
01:08:09,340 --> 01:08:12,120
So that's that's that and it does not mean to me anybody else.

987
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:13,120
So so deep.

988
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:14,140
So deeper question.

989
01:08:14,140 --> 01:08:15,140
Deeper question.

990
01:08:15,140 --> 01:08:16,960
And then why me?

991
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,280
Then it's because I've been around him

992
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,160
and I had to rewrite verses.

993
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,680
You for the same reason, right?

994
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,280
I don't like rewriting verses.

995
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,040
That's just my thing.

996
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,400
Don't make me fucking rewrite a verse, right?

997
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:31,240
So.

998
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:32,960
I'm gonna do it.

999
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:34,040
If I do a song with,

1000
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,440
but so the thing is like when I do a song

1001
01:08:36,440 --> 01:08:37,280
with both of y'all,

1002
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,920
I have to make sure that I kill y'all out the gate.

1003
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:43,040
So do you rewrite it just because you feel like

1004
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:44,760
it's not as, it's a little closer than you think.

1005
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,040
So you got to one up them or do you rewrite it just so

1006
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:49,920
you hit points better than they do,

1007
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,920
like kind of towards the song.

1008
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,760
So Doc is gonna hit points better than me in general

1009
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,640
because that's the way he writes.

1010
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,680
But if he punches harder than me,

1011
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,600
I'm gonna make sure,

1012
01:08:58,600 --> 01:08:59,440
that'll wrap up.

1013
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:02,640
Like I'm gonna sit there and I'm gonna write more,

1014
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,120
another punch.

1015
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:05,200
If I got to try.

1016
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,760
I think we should have like a hear my voice diss track

1017
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,940
just to each other.

1018
01:09:08,940 --> 01:09:10,360
That'd be pretty dope.

1019
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:12,720
Me in a way, the people that listen to this,

1020
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,000
we have future plans for an EP coming out

1021
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,480
and maybe not a battle,

1022
01:09:16,480 --> 01:09:19,720
but thinking back to the Wu Tang early 90s era

1023
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,160
when Methadmine albums to cow came out,

1024
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,320
there was a record, Meth vs Chef,

1025
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:28,480
who could kill the beat best, could have it.

1026
01:09:28,480 --> 01:09:31,200
And I would love one day to do that with AM.

1027
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,240
Like I would love to be Meth vs Chef.

1028
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:34,640
He could be chef, I could be meth,

1029
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,360
he could be meth, I could be chef.

1030
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:37,680
I just wanna body him.

1031
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,080
That's all I want.

1032
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:39,920
I'm here for it.

1033
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,680
And I will do my best to body you.

1034
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,000
So right here for AM, as a radio reviewer,

1035
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,560
explain how you personally approach

1036
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,840
each one of your single reviews.

1037
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,800
I throw paint at a fucking wall.

1038
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,720
That's who I am.

1039
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,400
Doc literally explains that he rides around

1040
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,040
and he will write for three or four days.

1041
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,640
And I know that Doc will ride around listening

1042
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,180
to the songs for more than one day.

1043
01:10:03,180 --> 01:10:05,720
I just started listening to the songs more.

1044
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:06,720
I do it in real time.

1045
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,600
Y'all should be able to see it in the reviews.

1046
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:10,720
I'm like, all right, man, this looks tough.

1047
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,440
And the verses are right, this doesn't look tough.

1048
01:10:12,440 --> 01:10:17,440
So I want to hear it the first time

1049
01:10:17,440 --> 01:10:19,440
and get my ideas.

1050
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:21,400
Because the more I listen to something,

1051
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,840
the more I listen to something, give me something.

1052
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:26,960
So, oh my goodness.

1053
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,200
Yeah.

1054
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:32,440
No, but I kinda, that was my initial approach.

1055
01:10:32,440 --> 01:10:36,280
But just because there were some songs that I kinda like,

1056
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,920
hey, you know, like it's not that bad.

1057
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,680
I had a different kind of feeling towards it.

1058
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:42,520
And I just, you know what?

1059
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:43,360
This song is okay.

1060
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,880
I'm a weak bump in a little weak dump.

1061
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,280
So I kind of changed my approach.

1062
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,320
I got to listen to them for a couple of days.

1063
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:50,880
Candy, let me tell you something about AM.

1064
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,320
So you know how like, Crux and got one, Rob got one.

1065
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:55,240
You might've even got one.

1066
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:56,960
Like there's slap on the wrist for media base

1067
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:58,240
when we turn in those reviews to the radio.

1068
01:10:58,240 --> 01:10:59,240
Oh yeah.

1069
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:00,640
Oh, I don't think I've gotten to one yet.

1070
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:01,800
Or you've gotten one before me.

1071
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,660
I don't think you've gotten one, a bad one yet.

1072
01:11:03,660 --> 01:11:06,400
But AM used to get bad ones.

1073
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,280
And if it's the repetitive ones,

1074
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:10,680
usually he knows I do this.

1075
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:11,840
I'll try to protect you guys.

1076
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,480
I ain't gonna let you get all the slap on the wrist.

1077
01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:15,000
I'll take the slap on the wrist.

1078
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,840
They'll be mad about,

1079
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:19,760
you need to compare these records

1080
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,400
with the catalog of these albums.

1081
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:22,960
And AM will never do that.

1082
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:25,200
Nope.

1083
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:29,320
I kind of just compare them to like, as a radio listener.

1084
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:30,160
Yeah.

1085
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:31,960
Well, and again, you got to think of it this way.

1086
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,420
If you've been a fan, like what's a rapper

1087
01:11:34,420 --> 01:11:37,120
that you really respect from like the nineties

1088
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,520
or 2000s since you're young?

1089
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:41,080
2000s?

1090
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,000
Well, Eminem, like that guy's been everywhere.

1091
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,480
So if Eminem dropped a record tomorrow,

1092
01:11:45,480 --> 01:11:49,240
you naturally, the way his label wants us to review that

1093
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:53,560
is compare it to an Eminem record from that was a hit.

1094
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:54,400
I won't say the word.

1095
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,440
Sure, I do that because they're like,

1096
01:11:56,440 --> 01:11:58,180
this past Post Malone song,

1097
01:11:58,180 --> 01:12:00,000
I don't think it was a bad song.

1098
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,680
It's just, it's not Post Malone's best work.

1099
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:03,880
I don't feel like it's fair

1100
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,520
to compare Post Malone to Post Malone, you know what I mean?

1101
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,560
But that's what the label wants to do.

1102
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,120
That's what they're deciding to give them

1103
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:11,920
for that record, a $2 million budget

1104
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,800
or a $500,000 budget based on our review.

1105
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,280
So that's why I kind of go that way.

1106
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,280
But I agree with AM, like at the same time, I mean,

1107
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:21,600
does the vibe sit well with me?

1108
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:22,980
Does it fit the current market?

1109
01:12:22,980 --> 01:12:25,120
But I think a perfect example is that the baby record

1110
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,960
that we are reviewing, this is the current market,

1111
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,280
the Jersey Baltimore house style.

1112
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:34,080
And he failed miserably at it for me.

1113
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,320
I mean, he's still getting blackballed.

1114
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,480
And he's getting blackballed on top of it.

1115
01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:42,520
So is it the blackball that's making the fail

1116
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,960
or the fact that he would sound

1117
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,720
unconfident and clumsy on it?

1118
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,720
It might be a little bit of both.

1119
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,360
So like, just like Trash and the artist,

1120
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,960
and just because I personally don't like the dude,

1121
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,400
I don't, and this is before he had the,

1122
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:57,800
I don't like Travis Scott's music.

1123
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,920
Like he has some dope hits.

1124
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:02,640
I don't like him like as a person or as an artist.

1125
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:03,520
I don't.

1126
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,820
I like that you brought that up because you're in Texas.

1127
01:13:05,820 --> 01:13:08,480
The magic part of that is AM and I have talked about this

1128
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:10,620
multiple times on phone calls.

1129
01:13:10,620 --> 01:13:13,180
We all have an artist that we gravitate to

1130
01:13:13,180 --> 01:13:15,160
and we'll cheerleer for.

1131
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:16,000
And then we all have-

1132
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:16,840
To me that's Big Sean.

1133
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:17,660
I love Big Sean.

1134
01:13:17,660 --> 01:13:18,500
You love Big Sean.

1135
01:13:18,500 --> 01:13:19,920
I like, I love Big Sean too.

1136
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,420
Even that he's got his own label, FF to Death now.

1137
01:13:22,420 --> 01:13:25,760
And he had the opportunity to sign to Kendrick Lamar

1138
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:26,880
and he did it.

1139
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:27,960
So I think he failed there.

1140
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,240
But then there's vice versa to that.

1141
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,440
There are artists that are actually very talented

1142
01:13:32,440 --> 01:13:36,480
that we will just, Kodak Black, I've never bumped,

1143
01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:38,080
I think I've bumped one song of his.

1144
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,440
It was a record with him, T-Pain and Rick Ross.

1145
01:13:41,440 --> 01:13:42,320
That's it.

1146
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:43,160
I have never bumped-

1147
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:44,000
It was.

1148
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,200
Florida Boy or something like that.

1149
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:48,040
Something like that.

1150
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:49,120
It was definitely Florida Boy.

1151
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:49,960
Yeah.

1152
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,240
So that was the only verse I've ever heard some Kodak,

1153
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,620
heard some Kodak Black that like actually spoke to me

1154
01:13:55,620 --> 01:13:58,280
and told a story and was audible.

1155
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,440
Cause I was so mumbled.

1156
01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:03,120
I know AM and AM can definitely stick up for himself.

1157
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,520
I know AM will never bump a Fat Joe record.

1158
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:07,360
Fucking hate it.

1159
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:08,560
I knew you were talking about Fat Joe this whole time.

1160
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:09,400
Fuck Fat Joe.

1161
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:13,440
I strong bumped all the way up

1162
01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:16,120
and that shit became a monster hit record.

1163
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:16,960
And I'm taking a shot.

1164
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:17,800
Oopsie.

1165
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:18,620
Oh, fuck.

1166
01:14:18,620 --> 01:14:19,460
Yeah. Oh man.

1167
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,200
It's single hit record.

1168
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,720
I actually enjoy Fat Joe.

1169
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:27,560
Me too.

1170
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:28,400
Hey, AM.

1171
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:33,400
I agree with AM that I feel like the joke

1172
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,240
about him having Big Pun's rhyme book, Salute.

1173
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:38,080
Yeah.

1174
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:38,920
No.

1175
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:41,880
Was Big Pun more talented than Fat Joe?

1176
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,560
Absolutely.

1177
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,720
But Fat Joe has such a consistent catalog of hits.

1178
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,100
I mean, it's like-

1179
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:50,960
You know what's weird?

1180
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,720
And it's just stuff that I kind of figured out.

1181
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,120
Artists that I enjoy,

1182
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,000
I end up, they end up having interviews

1183
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,160
in their daily life or they get personal stories.

1184
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,720
I end up really connecting with them.

1185
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,320
It's the artists that you can't connect with

1186
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,000
that you don't like, right?

1187
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:07,840
Yeah.

1188
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,160
And that has nothing to do with,

1189
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:10,000
I won't like their music.

1190
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,120
Then I find out more about them.

1191
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:12,280
Man, this guy's an asshole.

1192
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,840
Maybe that's why I don't like his music.

1193
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,520
Now to Doug, what's the best career decision

1194
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,080
you've ever made?

1195
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,440
What's the worst career decision you ever made?

1196
01:15:24,440 --> 01:15:25,920
Yo, I gotta give props to AM.

1197
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:27,760
He's asking some really good questions.

1198
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,720
That's actually some really good questions.

1199
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,440
Best career decision I've ever made.

1200
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:35,160
In retrospect, at the moment, I hated it.

1201
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,320
Allowing my wife to talk me into moving away

1202
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:38,960
from South Florida.

1203
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,600
That was the best career decision I've ever made in my life.

1204
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:42,880
We were able to get a house

1205
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,180
that was four times the size of South Florida

1206
01:15:46,180 --> 01:15:50,440
for 179, 178, 8,000.

1207
01:15:50,440 --> 01:15:54,200
And now the market's ballooned up so much

1208
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,320
in the last 11 years, 11, 12 years,

1209
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:02,320
that no home in my neighborhood's lower than 430, 450.

1210
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:03,200
Oh wow.

1211
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,600
Yeah, so that was the best timing.

1212
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,280
The recession hit.

1213
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:08,160
I got laid off.

1214
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,240
I couldn't find a job for 10 months.

1215
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:11,760
She couldn't find a job down there,

1216
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,560
but then she found a job in Central Florida.

1217
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,680
And I fought tooth and nail.

1218
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,680
All my family, all my friends, all my schools,

1219
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,440
all my battle leagues, all my music, all my conferences,

1220
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,400
everything was in South Florida.

1221
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,120
I had no DJ gigs in Central Florida.

1222
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,200
So I was fighting her tooth and nail moving up here.

1223
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,480
It took about 10 years, a decade.

1224
01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:34,880
But every time we drove down to South Florida

1225
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,120
to visit family, I would wanna leave so quickly.

1226
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:39,240
And on the drive back, I'm like,

1227
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,240
why the fuck do I come down here?

1228
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,280
So she goes, what did you say?

1229
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,680
So it took me a decade to get to that point,

1230
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,440
but that's the best decision I ever made.

1231
01:16:49,440 --> 01:16:50,840
I mean, we're good with money.

1232
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:51,920
We're good with jobs.

1233
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,480
We're good with location.

1234
01:16:53,480 --> 01:16:55,320
We're still in a private where we live at.

1235
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,640
So like when you guys come here and visit,

1236
01:16:57,640 --> 01:16:59,840
we can throw a party and not get in trouble.

1237
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,120
So I think that's the best career decision

1238
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:03,960
I ever made in my life,

1239
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,160
or allowed Gene to talk me into making my life.

1240
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:07,400
And I was being an asshole about it.

1241
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:08,720
I didn't wanna leave.

1242
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,120
Worst career decision was going to college

1243
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,120
the very first year.

1244
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,640
I was still doubled majoring,

1245
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,800
copyright, trademark law and civil engineering.

1246
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:21,040
I was actually a mechanical engineer major.

1247
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,800
And my, what do you call it?

1248
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:26,320
Admin or moderator.

1249
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,000
What do you call a person that talks to you?

1250
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,720
Not a counselor, but a...

1251
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:31,440
I know who you're talking about.

1252
01:17:31,440 --> 01:17:33,400
Yeah, registrar.

1253
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,800
Yeah, whoever it was, talk me into,

1254
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:37,960
no, civil engineer is the way to go

1255
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,720
because you're the person that pulls together

1256
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,600
all the engineers and you're the first person to get paid.

1257
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,920
Great idea, hard major.

1258
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,400
So I didn't get my straight A's in that.

1259
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,480
And then when I got my dream job,

1260
01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:54,080
like I didn't even really have to apply for my dream job.

1261
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,120
Headhunters came after me.

1262
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:56,640
That's how good the market was.

1263
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,840
And then 2008 rolled around in the markets,

1264
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,520
the recession happened.

1265
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,800
And I was one of the first 31 people laid off.

1266
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,360
Like we don't need civil engineers.

1267
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,400
We don't need a third party to pull everyone together.

1268
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,240
We could just talk to each person.

1269
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,560
So me changing that degree

1270
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,000
probably was probably one of my worst decisions.

1271
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:18,000
So for AM, with the Twisted Critics as a brand,

1272
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,440
what do you look to get out of it

1273
01:18:20,440 --> 01:18:22,800
and where do you think you're gonna accomplish?

1274
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:28,720
Having a voice larger than the voice that I already have

1275
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:30,480
because I already do two different podcasts.

1276
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:34,320
Me and Heavy haven't restarted ours, but we are.

1277
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:39,040
So doing a podcast like this branded in

1278
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,040
what me and DACA are already doing for me,

1279
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,360
I feel like easy, right?

1280
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,640
It's gonna be a very, very fun, fun, fun, fun, fun thing.

1281
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,400
So what I think that I'm gonna get out of this

1282
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,560
is gonna be exposure for me,

1283
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,840
it's gonna be exposure for everyone in here, my voice.

1284
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,440
And hopefully me and DACA and you can start

1285
01:18:57,440 --> 01:18:58,280
to get some money.

1286
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:00,560
Oh yeah, for sure.

1287
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,040
I agree with him a thousand percent.

1288
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:07,880
We are trying to present trends that we, numbers, stats,

1289
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,560
that we could take an artist that's unknown.

1290
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:15,400
Let's take our mutual boy Raul, 18 or 19 monthly followers.

1291
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:20,400
We threw him on the Twisted Critics VIP podcast playlist.

1292
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,360
And we haven't even had an episode yet.

1293
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,920
And he climbed up to 301, 302 monthly listeners.

1294
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:27,760
Maybe I'm one of those monthly listeners,

1295
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,000
but at the same time, I wanna use those percentages

1296
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,240
and we wanna prove to artists that we can make them

1297
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,680
blow up a thousand percent better than they are.

1298
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,560
I think it's a bigger voice, a bigger podium.

1299
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,360
We are experts at different things in this music business.

1300
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,480
And I think the comparisons, agreement and debates

1301
01:19:45,480 --> 01:19:47,360
will show that.

1302
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,320
And like you said, this is another stream of income

1303
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:50,160
coming in.

1304
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,160
So I agree with him on every answer he gave.

1305
01:19:53,480 --> 01:19:57,840
So for you doc, how will you know when you've made it?

1306
01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:59,120
Hey, I made it already.

1307
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,160
No, I'll say this.

1308
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,360
I want to be the voice for major labels to listen to,

1309
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,520
to get their legal business off the ground

1310
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,280
and instructions from.

1311
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,800
That's when I'll know I made it, made it, made it.

1312
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,320
So that's the easiest way to answer that.

1313
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,160
Okay.

1314
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:17,920
So, Anne, for the podcast,

1315
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:22,640
who would be your top two or three dream guest interviews

1316
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:25,520
for, let's say, for Twisted Critics?

1317
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,440
Million dollars worth of game, so probably,

1318
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:33,040
I like the guy going, I am asking.

1319
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:33,880
Oh, yeah.

1320
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,160
Right?

1321
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,440
And it's another one where they separated from that.

1322
01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:38,280
I can't remember.

1323
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:39,120
The Pivot?

1324
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,920
And if I could just, yeah, I love both of those shows.

1325
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:42,760
Right?

1326
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:44,560
I would love to do an interview with both.

1327
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,800
I did four, four, and it's more than four people,

1328
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,880
but that's my answer.

1329
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:50,880
Now I just want to party with Shani, man.

1330
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:53,520
With Shani?

1331
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:54,360
Share stories.

1332
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:58,120
That guy's a, oh man, that guy's a savage.

1333
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,000
I know for me, probably one of my dream interviews

1334
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,920
would probably be for sure Big Sean.

1335
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,240
Hey, Anne, lead us into my favorite part of the show.

1336
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,640
Fenton number five is going to be 100% facts.

1337
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,800
With this segment, each week we'll start to get

1338
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:17,120
into the guts of radio success.

1339
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,920
Facts about how artists are performing at radio

1340
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,800
and what Doc J does for work at media days.

1341
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:26,640
Do you care to go into a little bit of what you're doing?

1342
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,880
I have no problem doing that, sure.

1343
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,960
At Urban Radio Spins, as a Urban Radio Spins analyst

1344
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,440
and a coordinator for reviews,

1345
01:21:34,440 --> 01:21:38,480
I primarily oversee verifying song copyrights and ownership,

1346
01:21:38,480 --> 01:21:40,640
contacting Terrestrial Radio Station PDs,

1347
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:44,400
which are program directors, to monitor weekly spin counts.

1348
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,400
On Sundays, I do the media-based math

1349
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,200
to build the rank charts.

1350
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:49,640
Those get sold to Billboard,

1351
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,440
and then you see on Monday the Billboard charts.

1352
01:21:52,440 --> 01:21:54,000
And at the end of every quarter,

1353
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,400
we execute radio performance royalties

1354
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,400
to the listed artists on the copyright.

1355
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,480
So basically I pay the artists that are on the copyright

1356
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:04,800
of these songs that you hear on radio every quarter.

1357
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:08,200
So I really didn't know all that went into,

1358
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:09,640
like into that whole process.

1359
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,080
I just thought people uploaded songs,

1360
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,720
and then with popularity in the band,

1361
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,560
it just kind of organically,

1362
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,160
they got airplay and became hits.

1363
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,200
Like anything else, it's an easy process.

1364
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:23,280
Is there any actual definition of a hit?

1365
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,520
And how lucrative in terms of money is radioed

1366
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:26,840
to an artist?

1367
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,840
Candy, you make me getting very close to saying the WFW

1368
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:31,400
with that question.

1369
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:32,800
I'll try my best without saying it.

1370
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:36,040
So popularity views, streams, and all that stuff helps.

1371
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,520
But to the industry, those are just vanity stats.

1372
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,720
Because one, they don't come with verified ownership,

1373
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:45,040
publishing rights, or any registration whatsoever.

1374
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:48,080
And then two, a lot of these views and streams

1375
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,040
can be farmed, they could be manipulated,

1376
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,280
they could be bought, and they can't be validated.

1377
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,240
So I mean, there are some artists that will brag

1378
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:57,080
about having 500,000 to a million views,

1379
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:58,880
but they can't sell one CD.

1380
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:03,280
So it really depends on how you tap into your fan base.

1381
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,760
Easiest way I can explain it to both of you guys,

1382
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:06,840
is what I say at conferences,

1383
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:11,000
think of a new rap song as a new car.

1384
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,680
Can we physically, can AM physically drive

1385
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,720
this new rap song, this new car,

1386
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,680
after his parents taught him how to drive it?

1387
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,520
Sure he can, he won't get in an accident,

1388
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:20,920
he knows how to make a left turn,

1389
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:22,040
he knows how to use his blinker,

1390
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:23,000
he knows how to make a right turn,

1391
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,040
he knows how to drive.

1392
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,560
I don't care how many people like, or hit like,

1393
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,440
or how many friends he gave a ride in this car,

1394
01:23:30,440 --> 01:23:33,480
if he gets pulled over without having a driver's license

1395
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:36,240
for this car, regardless of how many people like it,

1396
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,040
or if he knows how to drive,

1397
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:39,960
he's likely getting a fine and going to jail,

1398
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,200
because he doesn't have a copyright.

1399
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:42,640
And that's what music business is,

1400
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,960
without a copyright, without registrations,

1401
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,800
without performance rights,

1402
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,080
you don't get that end of being a rap artist,

1403
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,080
you're just a viral star for one second.

1404
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,120
That's exactly what music business is right now.

1405
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,960
Close to 90,000 songs are being uploaded,

1406
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:59,560
but platforms per day.

1407
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:03,560
Of those 90,000 songs, 94% of them aren't actually owned,

1408
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,400
so therefore someone like me doesn't have to pay

1409
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,000
94% of those 90,000 songs, simple fact.

1410
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Yes, it's a process, the start,

1411
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,960
it all starts with a copyright, performance rights,

1412
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,600
register in it, et cetera, et cetera,

1413
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,440
before you publicly release it.

1414
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:20,560
The big word is before publicly releasing it,

1415
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,320
everyone will throw it up in the social media,

1416
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,880
YouTube, and they already ruined their profits.

1417
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:29,720
And yes, by our and performance rights orgs definition,

1418
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:34,220
a song becomes a hit, 95,000 spins per quarter at radio.

1419
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:38,040
And there's obviously tiers to different types

1420
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,280
of radio structure, like are you being played

1421
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,800
on a college radio, satellite radio, terrestrial radio,

1422
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,280
each of them pay increasingly different.

1423
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,880
At college radio, you get six cents per play,

1424
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,480
at terrestrial radio, you get 9.8 cents per play

1425
01:24:51,480 --> 01:24:53,360
and somewhere in the range of that.

1426
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,880
But if you have a hit single,

1427
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:58,480
Oopsie. Oh, fuck.

1428
01:24:58,480 --> 01:25:01,600
you get a financial boost as well.

1429
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:06,600
Versus streaming at radio, we pay 2,780% more

1430
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,460
per individual stream or spin,

1431
01:25:11,440 --> 01:25:13,560
and more money than internet does.

1432
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:17,000
And that's before Spotify takes the 30% off the top

1433
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,520
for their feed, and before they cut out

1434
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,000
the freemium decreases for the accounts

1435
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,940
that are playing you without paying for their account.

1436
01:25:24,940 --> 01:25:27,160
That's how I break down the 100% facts.

1437
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:29,700
Radio, we pay differently than internet.

1438
01:25:29,700 --> 01:25:30,860
You know what I'm saying?

1439
01:25:30,860 --> 01:25:32,720
Yeah, that's actually like a whole lot of good information,

1440
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:34,040
especially for an up and coming artist

1441
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,840
who doesn't really have a whole lot of knowledge

1442
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:38,920
just on the music business.

1443
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:42,840
But here we're gonna move on to the number one spot.

1444
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,040
So let's see who actually performed the best radio

1445
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,880
last week and snatch the tippy top spot on the spark.

1446
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:50,720
On the chart.

1447
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:51,540
Tippy, tippy top.

1448
01:25:51,540 --> 01:25:53,920
All right, at Urban Radio last week

1449
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:55,920
that we calculated last Sunday,

1450
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,920
it was taken by Metro Boomin

1451
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,640
featuring The Weeknd and 21 Savage.

1452
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:05,240
It had over 4,858 spins per day at national radio,

1453
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:08,960
and it's already platinum as of February 27th this year.

1454
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,360
Andrew, phone a roll.

1455
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:13,620
Sorry, y'all.

1456
01:26:13,620 --> 01:26:18,620
It was shipped 12-13-22 by Boominati Republic Records.

1457
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:23,920
They viewed at number 39 on Urban and number 25 on Club.

1458
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:27,440
Produced by Metro Boomin, Boomin, and Dahila.

1459
01:26:27,440 --> 01:26:30,480
It samples Mario Wynans and Diddy's 2004 hit

1460
01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:32,840
I Don't Wanna Go.

1461
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,160
Wynans himself returned to contribute

1462
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,200
backing vocals along with Travis Scott.

1463
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,200
Already a big hit and likely the largest

1464
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,480
on Metro Boomin's recent album.

1465
01:26:41,480 --> 01:26:43,520
Plus right now it's getting another radio boost

1466
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,960
on the recent remix featuring Diddy

1467
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,480
that they just released at the end of March.

1468
01:26:48,480 --> 01:26:50,600
I was saying it's a new record, it's a big record,

1469
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,160
and I think them doing that remix with Diddy

1470
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:54,360
kind of makes a full circle

1471
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,040
because Diddy and Wynans were in the original.

1472
01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,920
And it's just kind of like when Lil Nas X did Old Town Road,

1473
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:02,680
he brought in different features

1474
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:04,860
to keep it staying at number one.

1475
01:27:04,860 --> 01:27:06,240
I think that's what Metro Boomin's doing.

1476
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,060
He's keeping it at number one for a little while.

1477
01:27:08,060 --> 01:27:10,320
So it's gonna be a big hit for a while.

1478
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,560
So here we have new breaking singles.

1479
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:13,560
We are on each episode.

1480
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,240
We're gonna quickly break down which new singles

1481
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,120
are entering the Urban radio charts.

1482
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,280
Looks like we have four of them this time around.

1483
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:20,720
Even though you hate the song,

1484
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:22,160
even though you hate the song,

1485
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:23,320
Shake Some by the Baby,

1486
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,440
Shift the Radio on 52623 in a day,

1487
01:27:26,440 --> 01:27:31,440
at number 37 Urban with over 963 spins per day last week,

1488
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:37,880
distributed by SCMG Interscope,

1489
01:27:37,980 --> 01:27:39,440
produced by Charlie Heat,

1490
01:27:39,440 --> 01:27:44,440
and also debuted at 46 on Rysnick and Club Stations.

1491
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:45,560
I agree with that.

1492
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,600
I think that was more of a club record than a radio record,

1493
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,280
but who cares?

1494
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,480
Another new breaking record this week

1495
01:27:51,480 --> 01:27:53,920
was Area Codes by Kaylee.

1496
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:57,920
It shipped to radio on April 14th, 2023.

1497
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,160
It debuted at number 43 at Urban

1498
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,800
with over 804 spins per day last week.

1499
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,280
It's distributed by Trump Card Incorporated

1500
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:07,640
and Atlantic Records.

1501
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:11,200
It's produced by Tate Kabang and YG Beats,

1502
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:16,200
currently viral with over 545 million TikTok views.

1503
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,040
I think that's what's boosting it to radio, by the way.

1504
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:20,600
And it's also being shipped to Rysnick

1505
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:21,960
and Urban Club Stations.

1506
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,840
I foresee a chart in there within a week or two as well.

1507
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:26,800
Yeah, it's an interesting record.

1508
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,360
That's actually really dope to see this name.

1509
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,440
Tate Colben is an artist from Baltimore.

1510
01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:33,920
He had been having legal issues

1511
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,600
and he has not recorded anything.

1512
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,160
So I guess he said, I'm gonna go ahead and start producing.

1513
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,160
That's really awesome to see his name on there.

1514
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,760
For me, we have Fox, Koi,

1515
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:45,520
I've never seen her name right, Lare.

1516
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:46,360
Koi Lare.

1517
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:47,200
Ship the radio.

1518
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:48,040
Koi Lare.

1519
01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:49,720
Koi Lare, this is Fish, Koi Lare.

1520
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:54,600
Ship the radio on 5523, debuted at number 44 at Urban

1521
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,600
with over 744 spins per day last week.

1522
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,440
Distributed by Uppkown, 2.0 Republic,

1523
01:29:00,440 --> 01:29:02,480
produced by Johnny Goldstein.

1524
01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:05,960
He sounds also currently at number 19

1525
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:08,280
on Rhythmic and Club Stations.

1526
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,360
And the last breaking record this week,

1527
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,960
the debuting record was I'm Geekin' by DDG,

1528
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:16,280
featuring Lil' Tyler, I'm sorry.

1529
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:20,400
Ship to radio, 42723, debuted at number 45,

1530
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:21,600
right at the bottom of the charts,

1531
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:25,720
with 665 spins or more per day last week.

1532
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,840
Distributed by Epic Records, where I used to work at.

1533
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:31,760
Produced by Earl on the Beats, Beats by Bang,

1534
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,360
and Tom Levesque, that's a lot of producers.

1535
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,360
And also debuted at number 42

1536
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:39,000
on Rhythmic Club Stations as well.

1537
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,920
So what's pretty awesome about some of these songs

1538
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:42,840
is about three to four of them.

1539
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:44,080
We actually review them,

1540
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,400
and y'all can check it out on our review panel.

1541
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,560
Just because I wanna stir the pot a little bit,

1542
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,120
let's go ahead and start with Shake Some.

1543
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:52,880
I know you guys agree a lot on that.

1544
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:57,200
We hate it, but what I thought,

1545
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:58,720
I know he came to bar the morning,

1546
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,280
tried to do, call it the spanky leg.

1547
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:03,320
It's a dance that we do that we shake our legs, right?

1548
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,040
And he did it with some local dancers here,

1549
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,320
and he did a horrible job, but it was funny to me.

1550
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:09,920
The beat itself reminds me of a Philly,

1551
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,480
Baltimore, and a Jersey kind of trend.

1552
01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:15,200
And I enjoy this particular trend,

1553
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:16,960
because I grew up and I still dance to this.

1554
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,680
I actually have a couple of songs right now

1555
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,240
that I've been dancing to,

1556
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:23,920
or by TikTok, that has this club thing

1557
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:25,120
that they've been doing.

1558
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:26,760
But I think that it will get a lot of plays

1559
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,080
in certain regions, like here, Jersey, Philly.

1560
01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:32,560
And I think that it's gonna go viral on TikTok

1561
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:35,640
because of it being a dance song, right?

1562
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:37,120
We used to have dance songs back in the day,

1563
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:39,640
like, like, like, Soulja Boy, Don't Are You,

1564
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,280
but these are literal dance songs now.

1565
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,040
Like, you're gonna actually have people out here

1566
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:47,240
pop-locking, not doing that Philly TikTok

1567
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,000
to movement thing.

1568
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,720
Said it's gonna be 40, 50 urban, 40, 50 club,

1569
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:53,040
and I gave it a week from.

1570
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,480
I know he's Black Ball and the mix and EQs.

1571
01:30:55,480 --> 01:30:56,560
Not the best, the vocals,

1572
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:58,520
the vocals were a little too loud for me.

1573
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,840
And I think I rated it low by mistake.

1574
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:01,720
Doc, you told me that.

1575
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:02,560
Yeah.

1576
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,400
It's debuted at number 37 on club,

1577
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:06,760
so you would already be wrong with your prediction.

1578
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,240
Just a little bit.

1579
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:12,400
To go against AM, and to defend myself a little bit,

1580
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:13,560
I didn't hate it.

1581
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,640
Strong dump is hate it.

1582
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:17,600
Weak dump is dislike it.

1583
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,320
Weak bump is I like it.

1584
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:20,760
Strong bump is I love it.

1585
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:22,880
So to me, I disliked it.

1586
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:26,480
But where I disagree to AM is what I said on May 25th

1587
01:31:26,480 --> 01:31:28,360
when we reviewed it formally.

1588
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,960
I said DaBaby's new single is a Jersey Philly house club

1589
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,120
type of song for twerkers.

1590
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:38,680
Charlie Heat laces a basic rowdy loop of metallic sinks,

1591
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,560
stock high hats, siren alarms, and punchy 808s.

1592
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,160
Sort of a cheap knockoff of Lil Uzi Verts,

1593
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:47,680
I Just Wanna Rock You, which I strong dumped.

1594
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:50,680
Beat has potential.

1595
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:52,280
I do like the beat a little bit.

1596
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:54,960
Yet not all rappers can ride this type of style.

1597
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:57,560
Vocals are better mixed and less mumbled than Uzis,

1598
01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,640
so that's why I'm not strong dumping this.

1599
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:03,760
But for DaBaby, this is done in such a confident, lacking,

1600
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,240
choppy, uncomfortable flow that I just couldn't get with.

1601
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,520
Real short to it, just two minutes long.

1602
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,720
It's viral for sure, but very below average,

1603
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:14,320
forced and uninteresting.

1604
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:16,800
It's not a strong radio single to me.

1605
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,800
It gets spins because his name, even if he's being blackballed.

1606
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,960
So I'm guessing 15 to 25 at Urban and 15 to 25 at Club,

1607
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:25,920
but it's really unmemorable to me.

1608
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:27,080
So I gave it a weak dump.

1609
01:32:27,080 --> 01:32:29,240
I didn't hate it, but I just like it.

1610
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,440
So obviously you guys agree to hold up.

1611
01:32:32,440 --> 01:32:36,960
So kind of describe what y'all think about area codes.

1612
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:38,240
Oh, by Kaylee.

1613
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:39,320
OK.

1614
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:42,640
On 525, when we reviewed this together, me and A.M.

1615
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,520
and the rest of the panel, I said,

1616
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,720
modernized, snap-heavy, tick-tock,

1617
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,880
twerky flip of Ludacris' 2001 hit,

1618
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:54,320
co-produced by Tate, Kumbang, and YGBeats.

1619
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:57,600
It's a minimalistic beat of some slow looping bass drums

1620
01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:59,000
and finger snaps.

1621
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Odd of Kaylee being from and born in ATL,

1622
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:06,720
yet the song sounds very Cali to me, very Cali vibes I got from it.

1623
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,520
A calmer, bassy cadence and her basic lyrics

1624
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,680
get way more raunchier than Ludacris'.

1625
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,240
Lyrically, it's a girl point of view of the amount of hoes

1626
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,040
that she has in every area code, including the bros.

1627
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:19,840
I get the topic.

1628
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:21,320
I mean, it makes sense.

1629
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:22,200
It's not trash.

1630
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:23,240
I don't hate it.

1631
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:25,960
But only thing I like about it is her silly ad-libs.

1632
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:27,400
I didn't really like her lyricism.

1633
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:28,160
I didn't like the hook.

1634
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:29,600
I didn't like the beat.

1635
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,560
Possibly young girl, it girl type of hype.

1636
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:36,960
And I think it has some tick-tock appeal.

1637
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:39,440
But it's short, lazy, and a bit boring to me.

1638
01:33:39,440 --> 01:33:41,480
Nonetheless, it's viral.

1639
01:33:41,480 --> 01:33:43,800
It's a major label budget now that she's signed.

1640
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:47,080
And I feel it will chart in the 20 to 30 range at club

1641
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:49,440
and 40 to 50 range at urban.

1642
01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:51,360
But it'll be short-lived.

1643
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,640
So what I said, I said I heard this today and I hated it.

1644
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:56,160
I'm going to give it a strong thumb.

1645
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,600
The lyrics weren't bad, but they weren't good.

1646
01:33:58,600 --> 01:33:59,680
The lyrics were bad.

1647
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:02,640
The beat felt like it was made at a lunch table with the

1648
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:03,920
thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,

1649
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,800
shit that we used to do with the pens and whatnot.

1650
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:07,880
That's what it felt like to me.

1651
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:09,440
It was mixed like shit.

1652
01:34:09,440 --> 01:34:11,760
The lyrics are boring, and the ad-libs

1653
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,080
need to be thickened better in the EQ.

1654
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,600
I couldn't listen to it the other day when I first started

1655
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:18,560
listening to it, and I cannot now.

1656
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,120
Why the fuck is she whispering?

1657
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,200
And the hook is trash.

1658
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:27,840
40, 50 club, and I said it's not going to chart in urban.

1659
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,120
It's going to chart in urban, bro.

1660
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:31,080
It is.

1661
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:33,200
Y'all kind of get that for sure.

1662
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:34,720
But we agreed on that at least.

1663
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:35,800
So that's just a-

1664
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:37,200
We agreed on it.

1665
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:38,360
What about Poirot Ray?

1666
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:40,920
I said the song will do well because of her recent pain.

1667
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,160
She's famous.

1668
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:46,360
And she's very polarizing with her little booty.

1669
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,600
I like her on a lot of songs, but this song, I think,

1670
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:50,880
is right up the middle for me.

1671
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:52,040
I like the vibe in the lyrics.

1672
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:55,080
The production, for me, I wasn't really feeling it.

1673
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,120
It was like a boring, timbaling beat.

1674
01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,400
And the piano, Doc, you know I'm big on piano.

1675
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,080
If the piano's bad, I'm going to say it.

1676
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,040
The piano in this track is fucking lame.

1677
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:04,920
The mix on it is good.

1678
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:07,640
I enjoyed the mix, but I just hated the beat.

1679
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:09,600
The beat was actually mixed good.

1680
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:10,880
I just hated it.

1681
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:12,280
Everything about the beat, hated it.

1682
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:14,360
I liked the first verse the most,

1683
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,960
and I enjoyed the second part of the hook,

1684
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:18,960
which is almost like a bridge.

1685
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:20,680
It made me want to dance.

1686
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:22,000
It was right up the middle for me,

1687
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,200
but it was not enough for me to hate the song.

1688
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:26,600
20-30 Club, and I don't think it's going to chart in the

1689
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:27,600
urban.

1690
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:30,880
I agree with AM on the rating, but I didn't hate the beat

1691
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:31,400
at all.

1692
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:36,480
What I said on 525 was cool little high energy, early 2000s

1693
01:35:36,480 --> 01:35:37,640
club bar.

1694
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:40,280
I'm impressed by producer Johnny Goldstein,

1695
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:44,360
because he usually does beats for Selena Gomez and Justin

1696
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:46,440
Bieber and artists like that.

1697
01:35:46,440 --> 01:35:48,320
But this is a rap song?

1698
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:49,720
Yeah, he's way more pop than rap,

1699
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:51,000
so this is interesting.

1700
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,880
I'm impressed by him by the vibrant cowbells,

1701
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:57,880
the spacey synths, the heavy bass, the infectious claps.

1702
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:00,920
It reminds me of what classic Neptune's beat sounds like.

1703
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,320
Not so much Timberland, as AM said.

1704
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:04,360
It's well mixed.

1705
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:07,240
I like the crisp, coy, la-ray vocals for once.

1706
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:10,200
Usually her other records, she's a little bit more distorted.

1707
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,560
Her composition actually tributes Neptune's as well.

1708
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:15,960
I think she even says their name in it a couple of times.

1709
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:19,600
It's simple, cocky flow, putting her haters in their place

1710
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:23,240
and bragging about her catalog's hits, hence the term bops.

1711
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:27,080
It's a tad short and repetitive, yet the dancey beat fuels it.

1712
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,080
And I think the beat will make it ride.

1713
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:32,760
One of the fun, better bops from coy, la-ray and vintage

1714
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:35,840
where I envision cats my age like Harlem

1715
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:37,040
shaken to it a little bit.

1716
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:40,960
So I predicted it to be a 5 through 15 at club

1717
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,080
and a 10 through 20 at urban eventually.

1718
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:46,240
And it should be considered to be shipped to pop as well,

1719
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:47,880
in my opinion.

1720
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:49,960
I'm going to make myself go higher in my urban.

1721
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:51,800
Yeah, you got it.

1722
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,480
All right, so this is another section of 100% Facts.

1723
01:36:54,480 --> 01:36:57,560
This is called Just the Stats instead of Just the Facts.

1724
01:36:57,560 --> 01:36:59,160
Now everyone knows I'm a numbers guy.

1725
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:01,520
And like the old saying goes, men lie, women lie,

1726
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:02,760
but numbers don't.

1727
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:05,000
It's about here in every episode that we'll

1728
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,480
fire through the more meaningful stats

1729
01:37:07,480 --> 01:37:09,680
and actual movement on the national charts

1730
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,560
at Urban Radio and giving our opinions.

1731
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:17,040
So AM, why don't you kick it off the best risers right now?

1732
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:18,320
Biggest three risers this week is

1733
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:19,680
going to start off with All My Life,

1734
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,200
like a little dirt feature in J. Cole.

1735
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:25,480
Up 10 spots from 26 to 16, 51.9% more spins.

1736
01:37:25,480 --> 01:37:28,280
Now it has 2,722 spins per day.

1737
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:29,800
Always by Daniel Caesar.

1738
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:30,920
I fucking love that song.

1739
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:34,880
Up 9 spots from 44 to 35, 29.3% more.

1740
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:38,240
Now it's going to be 1,011 spins per day.

1741
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:39,720
Peaches and eggplant.

1742
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:40,760
Hate the fucking song.

1743
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:45,520
Up 8 spots from 38 to 30, 40.2% more.

1744
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:49,080
Now it's 1,489 spins per day.

1745
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:53,560
2,722 spins per day for that Dirk and Cole record

1746
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:55,000
is fucking awesome.

1747
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,720
Kandy, why don't you go into the biggest drops of this week?

1748
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:00,400
So the biggest three drops of the week

1749
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,520
is number one, Do You Mind by Vito featuring Chris Brown.

1750
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,720
It went down 9 spots from 25 to 34.

1751
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,560
So it's getting 44.9% less now.

1752
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,480
So they're hitting about 1,036 spins a day.

1753
01:38:13,480 --> 01:38:17,120
Number two, we have Painting Pictures by Superstar Pride.

1754
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:21,240
It's down 8 spots from 6 to 14, 28.2% less.

1755
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:25,680
Now it's still hitting 2,784 spins a day.

1756
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:27,680
So it's still getting a good amount.

1757
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:29,440
You got number three, which is Forever,

1758
01:38:29,440 --> 01:38:31,120
Lil Baby and Friday.

1759
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:33,440
Down 7 spots from 17 to 24.

1760
01:38:33,440 --> 01:38:35,880
It's down 18.1% less now.

1761
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:40,120
And it's still getting 1,993 spins a day.

1762
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:43,040
That painting pictures, that Superstar Pride,

1763
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:44,120
that's an indie record.

1764
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,720
I'm actually surprised it went so high at number six.

1765
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,200
So I think I was even wrong with that in my review.

1766
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:51,280
So that's a little props to that.

1767
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:54,120
But I'm going to close out this section, just the stats.

1768
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:56,040
And I'm going to go over respect to the indies.

1769
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,200
We're going to talk about the top four indies that

1770
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,640
are performing better than mainstream artists.

1771
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:05,160
At number one, we have Already Know by Young Pooda, Angelica

1772
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:08,480
Villa, and A Boogie with a Hoodie.

1773
01:39:08,480 --> 01:39:13,920
It's up to 28 on the urban charts with 1,572 spins per day.

1774
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:16,320
And that's a 2.1% increase.

1775
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,760
Number two is Stop Playing With Me by Pretty Porcelain.

1776
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,840
It's up to 33 on the charts.

1777
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,280
1,150 spins per day.

1778
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:26,440
That's up 2.6%.

1779
01:39:26,440 --> 01:39:28,160
Number three, Fake Love by Tink.

1780
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:29,600
I actually really like that record.

1781
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,440
It's up to 38 with 930 spins per day.

1782
01:39:32,440 --> 01:39:34,400
That's a 9.8% increase.

1783
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:37,000
And the biggest increase of the week is number four,

1784
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:40,280
I'm Baby, Ambray, and Jack James,

1785
01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:43,640
which was a huge adult R&B hit.

1786
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:46,000
But now on the urban charts, it's

1787
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:51,600
up to number 40 with 887 spins per day and 11.1% increase.

1788
01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:54,000
So this next segment we got is going

1789
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:55,960
to be called Radio Rips this week.

1790
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:58,800
So it's a good one.

1791
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:03,200
As the title suggests that my boy Candy said,

1792
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:06,040
this is our section where we give a final farewell

1793
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:09,520
to the urban songs or artists who officially died

1794
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,960
and fell off the charts and out of national rotation.

1795
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:17,800
So we're in the ending of March 29, 2023.

1796
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:19,480
That's where we're killing them off at,

1797
01:40:19,480 --> 01:40:21,800
and that's where they fell officially off the charts.

1798
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:23,480
This week we had five condolences

1799
01:40:23,480 --> 01:40:25,880
that we equally have to pay respect to.

1800
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,360
Some of them I'm sad about.

1801
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:28,920
Most of them I'm very happy about.

1802
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:31,320
So Candy, since you knew it this, why don't you

1803
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,240
kick it off first for us?

1804
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:35,520
First one we got, Players by Quilla Ray.

1805
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:38,360
It shipped early December, had a six month run

1806
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,840
at peak number one, earned a gold plaque.

1807
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:41,800
Shout out to her.

1808
01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:43,160
That's dope.

1809
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,360
I just started playing this Stupid Freaky T songs

1810
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,680
by Tia Corrin.

1811
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:51,480
Shipped early April, two month run, and it peaked at number 16.

1812
01:40:51,480 --> 01:40:52,160
I like the song.

1813
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:53,080
I like the beat.

1814
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:54,160
I like the beat too.

1815
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,800
I don't like the song, but I like the beat.

1816
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:57,960
I Got No Love by JK Maxx.

1817
01:40:57,960 --> 01:40:59,080
That's an indie record.

1818
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,880
It was shipped early February, had a four month run,

1819
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,520
and peaked at number 14 on urban charts.

1820
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:07,000
We got Seven Rules by Lil' Donald.

1821
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:10,240
It shipped late February, had a three and a half month run,

1822
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:11,960
and peaked only at 27.

1823
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:15,400
Still great, but.

1824
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,280
Being the one thing I like about that record,

1825
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:18,760
before I even digs into that, the one thing

1826
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,160
I like about the record, I know his manager.

1827
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:22,400
I know the label they're at.

1828
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:23,680
They're not signed to a major.

1829
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,240
They don't have a major budget.

1830
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,800
So for an indie record to kind of have that three and a half

1831
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:29,640
month run, and they're really trying

1832
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:33,600
to do it with a physical run where they're selling singles

1833
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,720
and merch at every stop they go to,

1834
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:38,040
I have a lot of respect for that record actually.

1835
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:40,560
Especially top 30, it's not bad at all.

1836
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:41,520
I agree.

1837
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:44,200
Right now, the last one is going to be Just Wanna Rock

1838
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:49,080
by Lil Uzi Vert shipped late November, 6.5 month run,

1839
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:52,040
peaked at number one, and it earned a two times

1840
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:52,880
platinum plaque.

1841
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:54,120
Damn!

1842
01:41:54,120 --> 01:41:54,960
Double platinum.

1843
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:55,760
Boom!

1844
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:57,920
Boom!

1845
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:00,800
So Doc, I just want to ask you to be a little petty.

1846
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:03,120
Which one of these do you think, or are you

1847
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:05,640
most happy about that kind of died off?

1848
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,520
I mean, you saw me when I did my thumbs down

1849
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:09,240
when A.M. was talking.

1850
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:12,360
Of all those records, I pretty much liked all those records

1851
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,000
except Uzi Vert's Just Wanna Rock.

1852
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,520
I'm very upset that that went to number one.

1853
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:19,480
And the fact that it's double platinum,

1854
01:42:19,480 --> 01:42:22,440
I think six and a half months on radio

1855
01:42:22,440 --> 01:42:25,200
was way longer than it should have been.

1856
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:26,240
But hey, whatever.

1857
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:27,480
It's a new wave.

1858
01:42:27,480 --> 01:42:30,160
That Jersey Baltimore Club's house

1859
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:35,160
is trying to come back into the public scene, whatever.

1860
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:36,960
What about you, A.M.?

1861
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:37,800
Which one am I happy?

1862
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,960
I'm not necessarily happy about any of them dying.

1863
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:44,680
But since I kind of just got to the 3BT song,

1864
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:45,520
I would say that one.

1865
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:47,840
And I'm not saying that I'm happy about it dying,

1866
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:50,280
but I do see why I did that.

1867
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:53,080
A.M., get your hat ready.

1868
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:54,160
I got it.

1869
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:57,440
So this is one of my favorite parts of the show,

1870
01:42:57,440 --> 01:42:59,760
where we make the listeners, people

1871
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:03,720
who emailed in their questions, the stars of the show.

1872
01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:05,080
A.M., you got your hat ready?

1873
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:06,480
I do, I do, I do.

1874
01:43:06,480 --> 01:43:08,080
Copy, copy.

1875
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,120
If you don't or did not know already,

1876
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:11,280
we have a Facebook fan page.

1877
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:14,160
It's www.facebook.com slash slash slash.

1878
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:15,600
Twisted Critics, a mailing list

1879
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:18,120
if you aren't already subscribed, please do that.

1880
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,960
And we have a Twisted Critics business email.

1881
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:24,320
The twistedcriticsatmail.com, not Gmail.

1882
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:25,160
And y'all should know,

1883
01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:27,280
because we blasted y'all shit for the last three weeks

1884
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:29,800
about things like this podcast.

1885
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:31,840
All right, so where anyone can send in music

1886
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:35,200
that they would like a deep dive and answers to.

1887
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:37,800
Each episode, Candy will send over all the questions

1888
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:39,760
that we received, and I will blindly select

1889
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:44,760
two of the lucky fans for me and got to answer live on air.

1890
01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:46,680
So who we have right now, number one,

1891
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:49,880
we're gonna have Tony Gonzalez from Sleepy Hollow, New York.

1892
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:50,720
Okay, so hold on.

1893
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:53,480
Tony Gonzalez is the original Twisted Critic.

1894
01:43:53,480 --> 01:43:54,320
That's my cousin.

1895
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:58,360
So it's only natural that we answer his question fully.

1896
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,120
What is Tony Gonzalez's question, Ian?

1897
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:03,640
What he wants to know,

1898
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:05,640
when an artist is signed to a record label,

1899
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:07,560
are they considered an employee

1900
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:09,600
or an independent contractor?

1901
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:11,960
He also wants to know, is it the same?

1902
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:13,160
What's the difference?

1903
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:14,960
Let me answer this as simply as I can.

1904
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:17,360
So it's neither, Tony.

1905
01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:19,480
All right, so when you're signed to a label,

1906
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:22,240
you are a client of theirs.

1907
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,400
An employee would be someone that actually works

1908
01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:27,160
for the label full-time or part-time.

1909
01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:31,600
You went through an actual job hiring process

1910
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,200
where you got interviewed.

1911
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:36,920
And then the benefit with that is you actually get benefits,

1912
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:38,480
health benefits, dental benefits,

1913
01:44:38,480 --> 01:44:40,440
retirement plan, pension, and all that.

1914
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:43,200
The second one you said was what,

1915
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:45,440
an independent contractor, Ian?

1916
01:44:45,440 --> 01:44:47,000
Yeah, independent contractor was the second one, yeah.

1917
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,240
All right, so independent contractor, Tony,

1918
01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:52,600
is someone that the label contracts

1919
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:54,000
for a time-length contract.

1920
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,080
It could be six months, it could be three years,

1921
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,600
whatever it is, for a specific service.

1922
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:03,200
So that'd be someone hiring you for a work-fire journalist

1923
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:05,760
or someone like me for doing copyright coordination

1924
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:08,360
or for someone to coordinate the record poll

1925
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:11,520
to get their reviews, like AM and I do on the panel

1926
01:45:11,520 --> 01:45:13,200
and Candy does now too.

1927
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,120
Those are all independent contractors.

1928
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,560
So you're neither an employee or independent contractor.

1929
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:20,080
When you sign a contract with a label,

1930
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,800
you are actually a client of theirs

1931
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:25,240
and you have to adhere to everything you agreed to

1932
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:26,680
and negotiated in that contract

1933
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:28,400
for the time-length of that contract.

1934
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:29,440
The minute you sign that,

1935
01:45:29,440 --> 01:45:33,080
you're stuck to all those clauses that are in that contract.

1936
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:34,600
Definitely isn't the same as the other two

1937
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,800
because the other two come with pay.

1938
01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:39,760
I mean, you do get paid as an artist.

1939
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:40,920
You sign a contract,

1940
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:42,800
you get paid certain amount of percentages,

1941
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,120
but they come with benefits

1942
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:45,760
and the artist doesn't really get those benefits.

1943
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:49,160
So huge difference.

1944
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:52,960
All right, so I will pull some of the hat right now.

1945
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,040
Thank you, Candy, for sending the email and these over,

1946
01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:56,080
by the way.

1947
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:57,080
Got you, got you.

1948
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:58,680
I will pull.

1949
01:45:58,680 --> 01:45:59,680
You got it.

1950
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:04,600
We've got Grayson B., an 18-year-old from Lantana, Florida.

1951
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:07,560
How do you balance the business side of music

1952
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,160
with the creative side of music?

1953
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:10,560
AM, why don't you start that off

1954
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,600
and I'll chime in once you're done with that.

1955
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,160
So for me, and it's awesome

1956
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:16,480
because I just got to the point

1957
01:46:16,480 --> 01:46:18,400
where I'm doing more of the business side,

1958
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:20,400
I was all creative side.

1959
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:24,000
So I have to just make sure that I feed both of my demons,

1960
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:26,400
right, and my demons being the business

1961
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:27,560
and the creative side,

1962
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,480
meaning I need to make sure that I have all of my ducks

1963
01:46:29,480 --> 01:46:31,000
in order for all of my copyright.

1964
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:34,200
You'd have all of my ducks in order for all of my publishing,

1965
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,720
have all of my ducks in order for all of my sound exchanges

1966
01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:38,000
and everything that is pertaining

1967
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:39,680
to the business side of the music.

1968
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:41,240
I myself know that it takes a while

1969
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:42,720
for these things to get done.

1970
01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:47,360
I have to make sure and ensure that I am still writing

1971
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:51,080
and putting things out for promotional purposes.

1972
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:52,120
Is that what you got?

1973
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:55,640
I will say now that I've moved to the courthouse,

1974
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:57,560
I've been heavily on the business side

1975
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:58,600
more than the music side,

1976
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:02,640
but I just had a conversation with me and Kandy's boy, Raul.

1977
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:05,320
When we say a music artist,

1978
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:07,240
the typical definition of an artist

1979
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:11,560
is 90% business, 10% talent or music talent.

1980
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:14,040
He doesn't understand that yet and I want him slowly,

1981
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:14,880
and he knows that,

1982
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:16,720
and I want him to slowly understand that.

1983
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:19,720
There's a definition of a band member or instrumentalist

1984
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:23,120
who's a studio rat that does nothing but make music,

1985
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:25,000
and then a music artist that actually knows

1986
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:27,360
the business side 90% of the way at least.

1987
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:29,520
So kind of the piggyback of what A.M. said,

1988
01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:31,840
you definitely gotta have the responsibility

1989
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:33,720
in your head to separate those,

1990
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:34,640
but you gotta know about,

1991
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,800
you gotta actually willingly look out

1992
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,080
and seek out the education of it,

1993
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:40,760
the business side, the copyrights,

1994
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:43,640
the performance rights, the registrations, everything.

1995
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:46,400
Where, how do I balance them?

1996
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:49,360
I've been doing a horrible job balancing them.

1997
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:52,120
As you take on more and more artists,

1998
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:54,160
you also have to do the business side of them.

1999
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,480
So it's almost like you gotta grow up.

2000
01:47:57,480 --> 01:48:00,840
My 40 plus year old self has to understand that,

2001
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:05,840
hey, if anyone wins, that's also a win for me.

2002
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:06,800
You gotta set priorities.

2003
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:07,960
Kind of like when you do school,

2004
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:09,560
maybe that's the nerd side of me

2005
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:11,400
and the studious side of me.

2006
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:12,320
What's the priority?

2007
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:14,720
If I wanna only make my music,

2008
01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:16,520
A.M.'s business side might fuck up,

2009
01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,120
Raoul's business side might fuck up,

2010
01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:20,160
Candy's business side might fuck up.

2011
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,360
So now I gotta take the priority of like,

2012
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:24,240
if I don't balance those right,

2013
01:48:24,240 --> 01:48:27,520
I'm now fucking up three people versus just myself.

2014
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:29,560
What helps me a lot is make a calendar.

2015
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:32,080
Put it on your wall, know when you're doing what.

2016
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,600
I gotta make you guys stay on task,

2017
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:37,320
even if it requires me to stay off task.

2018
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:38,920
Prioritize what's more important.

2019
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:42,360
Think about who gets hurt most if you don't do something.

2020
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:45,360
And prioritize those in order and knock them out in order.

2021
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,280
There's also a thing called the snowball effect

2022
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:49,520
that I learned from Dave Ramsey.

2023
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,480
Try to take the easier ones and knock those out quickly

2024
01:48:52,480 --> 01:48:54,280
and then you can work on the harder ones easier

2025
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:56,720
and you have less things on your to-do list.

2026
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:58,720
That's a big thing to help me out.

2027
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,480
So it might help you out too, Grayson.

2028
01:49:01,480 --> 01:49:02,940
I like that, I'm okay.

2029
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,320
So the one that I chose,

2030
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,200
it's gonna be by Andrew C, AKA Drew Story

2031
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:10,840
from Claremont, Florida.

2032
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,440
If you make a song using an exclusive beat

2033
01:49:13,440 --> 01:49:16,080
bought from a producer through a company like BeatStar,

2034
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:19,520
are you able to have your own song copyrighted?

2035
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:20,840
So A.M. and Candy,

2036
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:23,200
Drew Story is a person that's very good friends

2037
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:25,600
with my brother-in-law, Alberto.

2038
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:28,160
He's a rock artist that goes by Drew Story

2039
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:29,600
and he actually lives here in Claremont.

2040
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:31,200
That's cool that we picked his shit.

2041
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:33,960
He's got a video that's really floating around right now.

2042
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:36,280
Good kid, I love him and I like drinking with him.

2043
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:39,720
So I would like him to be a future guest on our podcast

2044
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:42,160
for sure to bring that rock element to us.

2045
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:43,400
But to answer his question,

2046
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,760
him and I have had this discussion before.

2047
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:47,220
Are you able to copyright the song?

2048
01:49:47,220 --> 01:49:48,700
Well, that's the problem with,

2049
01:49:48,700 --> 01:49:50,120
what did you originally sign?

2050
01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:51,560
Because the agreement you signed

2051
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:53,200
with the producer on BeatStars,

2052
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,040
which are generally templates that are illegal

2053
01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:56,800
to begin with, whatever you signed to,

2054
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:58,320
you have to adhere to.

2055
01:49:58,320 --> 01:49:59,880
And that predates the copyright.

2056
01:49:59,880 --> 01:50:04,000
So if you sign for exclusive rights to buy a beat,

2057
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,560
high price, whatever, and it says you can't copyright

2058
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:08,640
the record, you can't copyright the record,

2059
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:11,640
even if you own the exclusive rights to the beat.

2060
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:14,200
A.M., do you have any experience with that at all or no?

2061
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:18,240
I have a couple of weeks right now that I had.

2062
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:20,640
Me and you talked about the one song called Sad Songs

2063
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:22,960
that me and Sinead have, we have right now.

2064
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:26,240
And I did a BeatStar for the, I used BeatStar

2065
01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:28,480
to get this beat, really good song, really good song,

2066
01:50:28,480 --> 01:50:29,760
but I read my contract.

2067
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,960
I cannot copyright, so I have to figure out a way

2068
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:35,960
to lay those vocals over top of something else.

2069
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:37,960
That was my first and last time.

2070
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,400
That was my first and last time.

2071
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,840
Having me as the broken record in your ear,

2072
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,560
I hope that's the last time for sure.

2073
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:48,880
And for Andrew, the answer is whatever the contract says.

2074
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,240
And again, I think you guys are at a disadvantage

2075
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:53,800
being younger in this new generation.

2076
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,960
Maybe back in our generation, the 90s and 2000s,

2077
01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:58,400
you actually reached out to producers

2078
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:02,080
and met with them in the studio or got shipped a beat disc,

2079
01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:03,760
an actual beat CD.

2080
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:04,880
And no one heard that,

2081
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:06,440
but the people they're trying to sell beats to.

2082
01:51:06,440 --> 01:51:10,480
BeatStar's real, I mean, BeatStar's in 2022

2083
01:51:10,480 --> 01:51:14,040
has about 14 or 15 injunctions that can turn into lawsuits

2084
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:16,800
because they're illegal templates.

2085
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:20,520
A contract for production isn't one size fits all.

2086
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:21,680
You have different clauses,

2087
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,520
you have different things you've leveraged,

2088
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:25,480
different things you negotiate,

2089
01:51:25,480 --> 01:51:26,920
different clauses you have on there.

2090
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:29,840
But if it's exclusive by definition,

2091
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:32,680
you should be able to have your own ISRC code,

2092
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:36,240
your own content ID and damn sure your own copyright.

2093
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:37,520
You don't have any of those three,

2094
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:39,880
you really don't exclusively have the beat.

2095
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,200
The other thing you got to think about this Drew,

2096
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:43,720
and I know the next time I drink with you,

2097
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:44,920
we'll talk about this.

2098
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:47,600
Think about how many people bought an exclusive lease

2099
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:50,440
or non-exclusive lease to that beat.

2100
01:51:50,440 --> 01:51:52,280
That many people, that many dozen people

2101
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:55,960
have the record out already that you're gonna be penalized

2102
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:59,240
and cut different forms of profit that you can get from it.

2103
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:01,720
I rather work with a producer off of BeatStars

2104
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,320
that I'm the only motherfucker that heard their beat

2105
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:05,600
because when I copyright it,

2106
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:08,600
we'll get all 14 forms of monetization.

2107
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,880
So that's my best advice for you.

2108
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,040
To answer your question, are you able to?

2109
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:15,320
Yes or no, depending on what the copyright says,

2110
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:17,200
but you should probably be leaning more

2111
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:19,200
to the people that aren't on BeatStars

2112
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:22,400
where you can write in the contract yourself,

2113
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:25,240
I'm allowed to copyright it and they agree to it.

2114
01:52:25,240 --> 01:52:26,760
We move into the fun part.

2115
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:27,920
Just in case we haven't drank enough,

2116
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:29,600
which I feel like we have, I feel like that's talking

2117
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:30,680
different, I'm talking different.

2118
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:33,040
I can't tell that Kennedy's talking any differently,

2119
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:34,560
but this is about what we talk about.

2120
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:37,920
We may change that, we may change that right now.

2121
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:39,120
What we doing, Doc?

2122
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:41,880
Your boys here at Hear My Voice and Twisted Critics

2123
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,320
are now Spotify VIP playlist curators.

2124
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:48,880
So we'll use this game and segment of the podcast

2125
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:51,600
every episode to test our music knowledge,

2126
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:53,880
memory and fast wits.

2127
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,840
And when I say fast wits, I mean about 10 seconds.

2128
01:52:56,840 --> 01:53:00,040
A theory proposed in 1929 and resurrected

2129
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:02,840
by the film industry in the early 90s

2130
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:04,600
was the seven degrees theory.

2131
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:08,040
And this was a joking concept that every actor or actress

2132
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,760
was somehow related to or a co-star linked

2133
01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:13,960
to the actor, Kevin Bacon,

2134
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:16,320
and by seven connections or less.

2135
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:20,000
So we mutually are wanting to test this theory out

2136
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:22,360
in urban music business as well.

2137
01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:27,000
So this is a rapid fire game, roughly 10 seconds per round.

2138
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:30,120
So you can't use Google or Wikipedia or nothing like that.

2139
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:31,200
No cheating.

2140
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:34,280
Where we connect eight records, so seven connections.

2141
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:37,600
And whoever messes up those connections,

2142
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:39,760
we have to take a shot.

2143
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:41,720
So hopefully we mess up none of these

2144
01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:43,200
and I ain't gonna take any more shots

2145
01:53:43,200 --> 01:53:44,240
because I've had enough today,

2146
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:47,960
but we'll see what my boy Candy brings to the table.

2147
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,160
And for each mistake, you listeners

2148
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:51,760
have to take a shot with us.

2149
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:52,880
It's only right.

2150
01:53:52,880 --> 01:53:55,760
So Candy, you being from South Texas,

2151
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:57,720
from the Valley as you call it,

2152
01:53:57,720 --> 01:54:01,280
like in Cumbia music, Mexicano.

2153
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:02,920
I know you know some rap songs.

2154
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,800
So who are some, what is one of your favorite rap songs

2155
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:07,960
that you can remember that's like?

2156
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:09,920
Probably Big Sean, I'll fuck with you.

2157
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:11,520
Okay, I ain't fucking with you.

2158
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:12,440
I remember that record.

2159
01:54:12,440 --> 01:54:15,280
Okay, so I got 10 seconds on the clock.

2160
01:54:15,280 --> 01:54:17,800
I gotta connect that to a record through a collab-o.

2161
01:54:17,800 --> 01:54:20,720
I'm gonna connect Big Sean to Kanye West,

2162
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:22,600
Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay.

2163
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:23,920
They both collaborated on it.

2164
01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:26,880
I like that record a lot and it connects me and Candy

2165
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:28,520
with no drinking involved.

2166
01:54:28,520 --> 01:54:29,400
AM, your turn.

2167
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:31,320
What connects to Kanye West?

2168
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:32,920
So I'm gonna make this,

2169
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:35,120
I was, I'm not making it a little difficult,

2170
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:36,760
but I'm not gonna make it difficult.

2171
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:37,680
Yes, I am, I lied.

2172
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:38,760
I'm making it difficult because it's Candy.

2173
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:41,560
Candy, it's gonna be Kanye West and Twister

2174
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:43,120
and we're gonna do Overnight Celebrity.

2175
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:43,960
Woo!

2176
01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:46,280
Shot.

2177
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:47,480
Overnight Celebrity.

2178
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:48,800
So you got Twister.

2179
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:49,640
We're taking a shot.

2180
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:50,800
We're taking a shot.

2181
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:51,640
Yeah, I'm gonna take my shot.

2182
01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:53,840
I wanted you to try first.

2183
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:56,160
I can't even try it.

2184
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:58,960
Oh, hold on, that's messed up, so.

2185
01:54:58,960 --> 01:55:01,080
Candy, and I'm gonna only do that to you one time.

2186
01:55:01,080 --> 01:55:02,480
Next time I'll choose Jay-Z.

2187
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:04,800
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

2188
01:55:04,800 --> 01:55:06,760
So I gotta take a shot because of Candy

2189
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:07,920
making me take a shot.

2190
01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:12,720
Candy, when you visit Florida,

2191
01:55:12,720 --> 01:55:14,320
you're gonna have to try some of this Mama Wana.

2192
01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:15,800
My- Oh, I'm down.

2193
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:19,800
My arm hairs are very numb right now.

2194
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:20,640
Salud.

2195
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:25,560
What you should have done to AM was he said what?

2196
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:28,960
He connected Kanye West to Twister and Overnight Celebrity.

2197
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:35,720
I'm gonna connect Twister to Jamie Foxx

2198
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:38,720
in the single Slow Jams,

2199
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:42,240
which is also ironically produced by Kanye West.

2200
01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:43,920
That's my pick.

2201
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:45,520
So AM, you got Jamie Foxx.

2202
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,320
Who you connecting Jamie Foxx with?

2203
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:49,040
You know what's crazy?

2204
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:51,200
I don't have anybody that I can connect with Jamie Foxx,

2205
01:55:51,200 --> 01:55:52,400
and that's bad.

2206
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:53,360
That'd be really bad.

2207
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:55,600
All right, so we take a shot.

2208
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:56,800
We're taking a shot,

2209
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:59,480
but I will give you a lifeline by Wikipedia in it.

2210
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:01,960
So I'm gonna give you Jamie Foxx.

2211
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:04,600
We're gonna pick an easy one

2212
01:56:04,600 --> 01:56:06,600
because I don't wanna take any more shots today.

2213
01:56:09,400 --> 01:56:10,840
All right, so there's another shot.

2214
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:11,880
You guys are my proof.

2215
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:13,080
I'm not making it up.

2216
01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:14,360
I'm not cheating you guys.

2217
01:56:14,360 --> 01:56:16,480
All right, I'm gonna take Jamie Foxx

2218
01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:19,600
and combine them with Ludacris on the record,

2219
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:21,080
Unpredictable.

2220
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:22,840
Would you believe I was singing the song

2221
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,000
and I said Snoop Dogg, so I was wrong anyway?

2222
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,200
All right, Kandi, can you connect Ludacris with anybody?

2223
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:29,720
With Justin Bieber.

2224
01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:32,240
Ooh, that's a mean one.

2225
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:33,560
That's hilarious.

2226
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:36,200
So what's the name of the record, though?

2227
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:38,280
Baby, baby, baby, okay.

2228
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:40,480
It's on me.

2229
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:43,560
Justin Bieber did a record with Daniel Caesar

2230
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:47,240
and give me on Helm Me AM.

2231
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:51,080
It's called, is it called Peaches?

2232
01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:52,000
Peaches?

2233
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:53,160
It is called Peaches.

2234
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:54,480
Yeah.

2235
01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:57,040
All right, I got out of that without taking a shot.

2236
01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:01,000
This is gonna be a very cool playlist, by the way.

2237
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:01,840
Right, it is.

2238
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:06,600
So last but not least, that was a train wreck as it was.

2239
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:09,280
I think we took three shots for seven or eight records,

2240
01:57:09,280 --> 01:57:10,640
but that was a lot of fun.

2241
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:12,600
You listeners out there,

2242
01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:16,120
you can check out on Spotify our VFP playlist

2243
01:57:16,120 --> 01:57:19,400
called The Seven Degrees from Entwisted Critics.

2244
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:21,760
We'll have seven new records every week,

2245
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,200
but take us home, Kandi.

2246
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:25,520
We got one more slide left, I think.

2247
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:27,600
I'm just gonna read it.

2248
01:57:27,600 --> 01:57:28,760
I can't even speak right now,

2249
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:30,400
but I don't even feel my tongue.

2250
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:34,000
That I'm gonna study for sure.

2251
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:35,600
I'm gonna start taking all these hip hop quizzes.

2252
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:36,720
I'm gonna start going through all these songs

2253
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:39,280
because I don't know if I can handle another one of these.

2254
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:43,440
That was the middle of the day.

2255
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:44,760
Kandi killed us, right?

2256
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:46,240
He killed us, but it wasn't that bad.

2257
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:47,080
It wasn't that bad.

2258
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:48,080
We saved him, we saved me.

2259
01:57:48,080 --> 01:57:49,520
I killed us too.

2260
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:51,480
I feel like it went pretty smooth.

2261
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:54,080
But all good things must come to an end.

2262
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:56,480
Doc, Kandi, I've enjoyed this.

2263
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:57,920
I'm gonna keep enjoying this.

2264
01:57:57,920 --> 01:57:58,960
I've had a whole lot of fun.

2265
01:57:58,960 --> 01:57:59,800
I learned a lot.

2266
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:00,800
I drank too much,

2267
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:03,240
and I cannot wait for the next episode.

2268
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:04,080
I can't wait.

2269
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:05,000
We're gonna have Tony Ganja on here,

2270
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,760
my blood cousin and the original Twisted Critic.

2271
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,080
I just wanna give a very special major props

2272
01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:15,000
to both of y'all, the co-host,

2273
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:18,400
rapper AM and Kandi Villareal.

2274
01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:20,840
I'm very happy and real excited

2275
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:22,720
that we could connect like this.

2276
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:24,440
We made the show a reality finally.

2277
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:26,880
I think AM and I signed the very first contract

2278
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:28,880
back in November, 2022.

2279
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:30,440
This has been a long time coming.

2280
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:33,640
Lots of dope convos, radio stats,

2281
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:35,920
and guests to come in our near future.

2282
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:38,120
Before we get out of here, big ups to you,

2283
01:58:38,120 --> 01:58:39,440
both of yourselves.

2284
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:40,920
I want both of y'all to plug

2285
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:42,400
what you guys are doing next week

2286
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:45,960
and what you are planning to do musically, AM.

2287
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:47,920
So Kandi, why don't you kick off first?

2288
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:50,440
What's your next week looking like?

2289
01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:53,000
Honestly, I'm gonna just kind of help grow the podcast

2290
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,840
a little bit organically and just kind of talk to people.

2291
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,200
I'm gonna study a little bit more because...

2292
01:58:58,200 --> 01:58:59,040
No.

2293
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:01,680
Yeah, I was feeling it.

2294
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:04,880
I don't wanna talk to them no more.

2295
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,560
We went from here to here, by the way.

2296
01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:09,160
Just letting you know that.

2297
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:11,480
But yeah, that's about it.

2298
01:59:12,440 --> 01:59:14,240
AM, what you got going on next week

2299
01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:17,440
and what you planning for the near future musically?

2300
01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:20,800
I'm running tomorrow, running five miles tomorrow,

2301
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:23,040
running five miles the day after that.

2302
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:24,600
So I'm trying to run as much as I can,

2303
01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:26,760
get my health in order.

2304
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:29,440
Plug myself.

2305
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:31,360
I'm always working on music, always.

2306
01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:33,440
I have a bunch of EPs that Doc knows that I'm working on.

2307
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:34,960
I've been producing a whole lot,

2308
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:38,000
so I'm gonna try to write more to my own production.

2309
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,080
You can find me everywhere.

2310
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:42,840
Just look up Angryman410.

2311
01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:45,920
All of my social media, no matter what it is.

2312
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:49,520
Even my OnlyFans is connected to that.

2313
01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:52,760
I have a website, rapperam, rapperam.com.

2314
01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:54,800
You'll hear me say that all the time on TikTok.

2315
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:56,840
I'm probably gonna do a bunch of freestyles on TikTok

2316
01:59:56,840 --> 01:59:58,320
because I do that every single day.

2317
01:59:58,320 --> 02:00:00,720
I'm probably gonna dance tomorrow at this...

2318
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:01,560
I'm sick.

2319
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:03,360
I don't know if the listeners and Doc and Candy can hear,

2320
02:00:03,360 --> 02:00:04,180
but I'm just sick.

2321
02:00:04,180 --> 02:00:06,240
I know it's the last couple of minutes.

2322
02:00:06,240 --> 02:00:08,200
I'm happy that I was able to make it through.

2323
02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:10,840
I was able to make it through,

2324
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:13,160
but that's it, rapperam.com.

2325
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:17,160
And for me, I mean, it's watching Joseon

2326
02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:18,560
going to work at the courthouse,

2327
02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:22,360
and we're trying to close on a deal with Media Base

2328
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:26,200
and another special company to do a EP.

2329
02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:27,560
I'm very excited about that

2330
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:30,200
because I think AM and I are gonna murder every record

2331
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:31,800
that we get sent for that,

2332
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:34,680
and we'll be producing some of those ourselves.

2333
02:00:34,680 --> 02:00:37,840
The project that's on the horizon for us

2334
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:41,400
is called the Firing Squad Funds EP.

2335
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:42,760
And like Candy said,

2336
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:44,640
I wanna promote the hell out of this podcast

2337
02:00:44,640 --> 02:00:47,280
and get the most views as we possibly can.

2338
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:49,000
And I wanna beg you guys

2339
02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:52,360
to check out the VIP playlist on Spotify

2340
02:00:52,360 --> 02:00:54,680
because AM, Candy, and myself,

2341
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:55,920
and everyone else in here, my voice,

2342
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:59,200
have taken our time to build this playlist for you guys.

2343
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:01,840
And the more of you guys that follow and like it,

2344
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:03,280
hit that heart button,

2345
02:01:03,280 --> 02:01:05,120
the more money we actually get to make.

2346
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:07,360
So I mean, I drink quite a bit.

2347
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:08,560
And another thing to that

2348
02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:10,480
is I'm gonna make another salute to you guys

2349
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:14,080
because this wouldn't be a possibility

2350
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:15,120
or a real life thing

2351
02:01:15,120 --> 02:01:17,280
if you guys didn't join in and do the work with me.

2352
02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:18,760
So I appreciate you guys.

2353
02:01:18,760 --> 02:01:21,000
I also wanna shout out Spotify,

2354
02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:22,360
shout out Doc.

2355
02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:24,160
It's gonna be a good adventure, man.

2356
02:01:24,160 --> 02:01:25,440
It's gonna be awesome.

2357
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:26,880
Peace, have a wonderful day,

2358
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:28,160
have a wonderful weekend,

2359
02:01:28,160 --> 02:01:31,480
and see you guys in the radio charts next week.

2360
02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:58,480
There you go, peace out.
