1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Yo.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I'd like to welcome everybody back to branding episode of the

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Congress of the large podcast.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
I'm your host, Quentin Gold.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
The friends and family that come to G for short.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
And if you feel like that's what we're coming.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
So you can call me there too.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
So it's New Year's Eve, 2024.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
We're on the verge of 2025.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
And, man, this year has been a fucking journey.

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Spiritually, emotionally, psychologically.

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Just fucking.

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I learned a lot of lessons this year.

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You know what I mean?

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I gained a lot of perspectives.

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
There was some tough moments in there.

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Some real tough moments like life altering, changing.

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I had those.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
But then on the flip side, I had life altering.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Just some of the most powerful, loving,

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
and bracing moments of my fucking life.

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And it's just like my year had ups and downs,

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
but it was way more ups than downs,

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
since I gotta be honest.

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I just, yo, the other day, the other day,

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
I randomly cried, here's the joy.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Out of nowhere.

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Like, I'm sitting in my studio and like, I'm chilling.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
I'm like, you know, chopping samples and shit.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And like, I stopped.

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I just like looked around, took a deep breath,

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and I just smiled.

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Didn't even realize I was crying.

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Like, I felt like a, felt like a tear,

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
like hit like my shirt.

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
I looked down, I was like, what the fuck?

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Right in my face, I was like, oh shit, I'm crying.

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Just feeling appreciative, just feeling grateful, just,

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
you know, shit ain't perfect.

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
But shit what is?

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
What's ever been perfect?

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
I can already hear people saying certain answers, but, uh.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
But I'm grateful, man.

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
The young grates will ask me.

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
I don't make New Year's resolutions, I used to.

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
And the only reason I used to is because everybody around me did,

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
and I figured that was the thing you were supposed to do,

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
but I don't do that.

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I mean, because if we want to be technical,

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
there is no true difference between what's going on today

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
and tomorrow, the sun had come up,

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
didn't go down, didn't come out.

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
If you got a job, you still got to work,

54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
if you got family and friends, you still got to love them,

55
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
all that type of stuff.

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
But I think all this shit is psychological,

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
life in general is psychological.

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
It's all about mindset.

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
And if somebody had like a tough 2024,

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
or if they had a really, really good 2024,

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
you know what I mean?

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
If you got that mindset that you get a fresh start,

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
because honestly, that's what everybody truly wants.

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
You know what I mean?

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
You want to be able to fucking control Z.

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
For those who know, like, if you like working pro tools and shit,

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
control Z is like the undo button, more or less.

68
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
A lot of people wish they could like just control Z situations.

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And you know, it's not possible.

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
So the thing is, when you go through something that's tough,

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
or that, you know, when you look back on it,

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
you feel like you zigged, when you should have zagged,

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
or you know what I mean?

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
You weren't right when you wanted,

75
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
when you should have went left, like,

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
with the new year approaching, well, shit,

77
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
it'll be the new year in a couple of hours and shit.

78
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Psychologically, you'll go back, I get a fresh start.

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I ain't do what I need to do last year,

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
but this year, I'm gonna do that shit.

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Or you'll be like, yo, I was killing it last year.

82
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Bro, how the fuck can I elevate and take it further and shit?

83
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
So I can understand, like, the resolution thing.

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
But I don't do it.

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
You know what I mean?

86
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Like, there's no particular reason I don't do it,

87
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
but I don't feel the need to.

88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Like, I know what my goals are, I know what I'm trying to do,

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
and regardless what the calendar reads,

90
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
it doesn't change, you know, what my goals are.

91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Because I think that's the thing that we do too,

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
that kind of like fuck people up.

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,000
It's like, we'll give ourselves like time limits on shit.

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Like, yo, by this age you should have,

95
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
by this age you should have already done.

96
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Damn, yo, you this age and you still doing,

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
yo, you this age and you still, man, cut all that shit out

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
and put that pressure on yourself.

99
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
You know what I mean?

100
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Like, oh man, I got it.

101
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Man, nah, man.

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Time is infinite.

103
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Well, it is, but it's not for us.

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
So, you know, set goals and, you know,

105
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
try to work towards them and like, you know,

106
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
a timely fashion, but you determine that timely fashion.

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Do it at your own pace.

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
You know what I mean?

109
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Like, I stopped playing the comparison game like a long time ago.

110
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Especially, I remember like, you know,

111
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
I'm in my early 20s, I'm 21, 22, 23,

112
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
and you know, friends of mine, people around me,

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
like they in college and shit, and I'm just like, damn, man,

114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
like I should have won the college.

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Like, by the time I go, they'll already be out

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
and have a degree and then by the time that shit was done,

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
that life isn't mine.

118
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And mine, life isn't theirs.

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
And I ended up going to trade school route.

120
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And honestly, that shit worked out well for me.

121
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I mean, you know, ah, can't even.

122
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
You know what? I'm not even gonna say it.

123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
I'll say this, 2024, again, had my ups and downs,

124
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
but I put some shit in place, you know, like, all right,

125
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
if I do this now in the next three months, this could happen.

126
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
And if I do this in the next year, maybe this happened.

127
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
I'm already hitting those checkpoints.

128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
The shit that I thought was gonna be six months,

129
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
about a month and a half.

130
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Some shit that I thought was gonna take me a year to do.

131
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000
I'm on a verge of doing that shit in the next two days.

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
And I don't want to go into detail what it's about,

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000
but I'm extremely happy for one, extremely excited.

134
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,000
This shit is like life-changing shit for me and my family, honestly.

135
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
And I worked hard for that shit.

136
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
But even as it's like playing out,

137
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
the thing that I set out to achieve that I'm currently in the process of achieving,

138
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I'll never make a post about it.

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I'll never show, you know, the revenue I make from it, none of that shit.

140
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Like, I don't do that.

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Like, I'm a private person, honestly.

142
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Even I'm speaking right now in this like public class one,

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
but yeah, if you ever go to my social media, like,

144
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
yeah, I don't post personal shit.

145
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
I don't post what my car looked like.

146
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
I don't post what my crib looked like.

147
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
I post what the studio looked like,

148
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
but you don't know where my fucking house is.

149
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
You don't know what I drive.

150
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
You don't know what I do for a living.

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
How I make my money, how much money I make.

152
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
I post beats and sneakers.

153
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
I mean, but I'll say this.

154
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Man, I don't want to come across like a fucking, like an asshole,

155
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
like I'm trying to brag or something, but you know, when you hear a nigga say,

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
I'll be making boss moves.

157
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Nigga, I literally just made some fucking boss moves.

158
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Like, the real way.

159
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Like, it'll reflect in my bank account.

160
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
You know what I mean?

161
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I'm talking, oh, see, I only want to get into that.

162
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Long story short, I planted a seed and that fucking tree grew way faster than I thought it would.

163
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
And I couldn't be happy.

164
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I just feel good, man.

165
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
I really do.

166
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Like, I'm just in a, I'm in a great space.

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
It's shit perfect.

168
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
No.

169
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Well, should I ever be perfect?

170
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
No.

171
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
It's shit meant to be perfect.

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
No.

173
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
So I'm happy, man.

174
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I'm beyond happy actually.

175
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
You know what I mean?

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Like one of, I think one of the most important lessons I learned throughout life and I use the shit almost daily is like,

177
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000
like I said, life is like, life is psychological more than anything else.

178
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Mind set.

179
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
You know what I mean? I ain't here to give no motivational speech and all shit like that, but it's true.

180
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Your mindset is everything.

181
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
So for me, some shit that happened, I can't help how I feel about it.

182
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I can't control how I feel, but I totally can control how I respond and react to shit.

183
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
You know what I mean?

184
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
So this is one of the things that I focus on.

185
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:41,000
This is like a mantra that I say, that I tell myself like, you know, pretty often as I focus on what I can control.

186
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
What I can control, I accept this for what it is.

187
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I just let it go.

188
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And that shit applies to everything.

189
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
People, situations, items, anything.

190
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
If it's outside of my control, I don't try to force it.

191
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
You know what I mean?

192
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Like, if a person make a decision, I would feel like I want to know why they made that decision.

193
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
But then I realized, like, even if they told me why, it doesn't change the decision that was made.

194
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So I don't even care about it, honestly.

195
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Not even like, oh, no, Ergon shit, oh, no, asshole shit, or just like, I don't care.

196
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
There ain't that.

197
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
It's more or less like, why add distress?

198
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,000
I'm not going to like sit up and go, damn, I wonder, nah, man, you know, life is life.

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
And sometimes life be fucking life.

200
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
And other times life be cool as shit.

201
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
But mindset is everything.

202
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
So like, if you wake up in the morning and you tell yourself, I'm at that fucking bad day, you will.

203
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
You 100% will because you asked for it.

204
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And the universe is going to give you exactly what you asked for.

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Maybe not in like, you know, a specific way, but if you tell yourself, you're going to have a bad day.

206
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Any small thing that happened, no matter how minute it is, you'll look at it and you're going to amplify it.

207
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
See, I knew it.

208
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
I knew that shit was going to, I told you I was going to have a bad day.

209
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Slip side of that.

210
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
You wake up in the morning and have a good day today.

211
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
And you will, no matter how big or small the inconvenience is, you go, nah, I ain't anything.

212
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Because you've already made up your mind.

213
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
You're in the universe and came to an agreement.

214
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Hey, universe, today's going to be a good day.

215
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
The universe goes, let me check my schedule.

216
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Yeah, you scheduled to have a good day.

217
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
You will.

218
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I'm just excited for life, man.

219
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Like, you know, and so much I want to do.

220
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
You run up as a kid, you know, I never had like a dream job in mind.

221
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
I never had like, honestly, as a kid, I don't know what I really wanted.

222
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
I used to always say, you know, I wouldn't care if I died.

223
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:13,000
And honestly, like, I think I was saying it, not because I didn't mean it, because I didn't mean it at the time.

224
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Or maybe I didn't mean it, but I thought I did.

225
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:24,000
I'm not afraid of it, you know, but I got so much that I want to do now.

226
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
I'm not going to rush for it like I used to do.

227
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
I was just like saying and doing stupid shit.

228
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Just like, I don't know if I was looking for validation.

229
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
I don't know what I was looking for, but whatever it is, I'm not looking for that shit now.

230
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Like, I'm just, I'm just happy, man.

231
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,000
So I want to write a movie.

232
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000
I started writing like some short stories and shit like, and I got one that's so fucking dope.

233
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Like, I was telling my homeboy about it, at least like the concept of it.

234
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
He's like, damn, y'all fuck with that.

235
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Damn, I'm saying like a bunch of niggas listen to this shit.

236
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Like, I want to put my idea out in somebody's tail.

237
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:14,000
It's no, no, but one is like, it'll put you in the mind of saw without all the gruesome shit.

238
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
So when I say to put you in the mind of saw, it's more so like how by the end, how it all comes together.

239
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
You go, oh, shit.

240
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And I can tell you the name of that one is called one in the same.

241
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:35,000
And then there's a scary one that I writing and it's called what if you should be.

242
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Yeah, the concept for both of these is super dope.

243
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
But then I think I kind of want to write a comedy and shit like when I was younger, me and my younger brother and shit,

244
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
we used to always sit there laughing, joking.

245
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He's like, bro, we should write a we should write a comedy movie.

246
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,000
So it would be me, my brother, the two cousins and shit.

247
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
And, you know, just little niggas kids shit.

248
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
We sit around laugh, joke.

249
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:09,000
I mean, you know, in the story, this nigga and this nigga's roommates and then you tell the one thing is feet stinking on it.

250
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And we did.

251
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
It was like little kids shit, but it was funny.

252
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And as I get older and I look back on those moments, like, you know, it was a lot of fucking gold in those moments, like, like, all right.

253
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Like you can certain music, certain films, like, like you feel it on a different level.

254
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Like, I think it becomes I think you feel that way about it more or so because like it feels relatable.

255
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Like, like the first Friday, the first Friday is hands down the best one of reason being it's fucking funny to the point where to make your stomach hurt.

256
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Like that shit is hilarious.

257
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
But the comedy in it is so natural, but it's more relatable.

258
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Like, you know, like the block that Craig live doing, like, I felt like my neighborhood or my community was similar where like,

259
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I was fucking new each other.

260
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
You knew who like the tough guy bully nigga was like, you can laugh, joke.

261
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
You really had beef with niggas.

262
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
It was just chills.

263
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And then you can see like once it got popular and like Hollywood got involved, the second one in the third one, even though I like the third one a lot, the second one, I don't care for at all.

264
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I mean, I like the fact that the second one introduced Mike Epps character today because he was funny.

265
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:35,000
And then pinky and all that, but like, I feel like one, it was trying to be too relevant for the time.

266
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Like, there was like this big tropical stone called El Nino.

267
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
And I remember to make an El Nino jokes and shit.

268
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And then there's like this Mexican family where they was, you know, like some street guys and shit.

269
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:54,000
And I feel like it was overly stereotypical and it didn't feel genuine.

270
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Like, like, it's our perfect example.

271
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000
The first Friday had like some Hispanic homies in that shit too.

272
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
They didn't make us who pulled up.

273
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
It was like trying to buy the weed from smoking.

274
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
He's like, man, I ain't selling y'all shit.

275
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And then, you know, Craig was like, why?

276
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
I told you at last time I was smoke with these fools didn't do the flashback.

277
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I said, man, stop hitting it so hard.

278
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
He's like, man, shut the fuck up and smoke since I was two.

279
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000
And he started hitting the super hard, the hidden weed real hard.

280
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
So the two Hispanic guys, they start laughing and shit.

281
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
That's a smoky smell.

282
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Like, what's in this?

283
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Like, it's the angel dust homes.

284
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
And then they start, he started flipping out.

285
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
They said, I was running down the street, my drugs, man.

286
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
I ended up in a D-bow pigeon coop.

287
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
My mother had to come get me.

288
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Like, that shit felt funny.

289
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
You know what I mean?

290
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Like, everybody felt authentic.

291
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So, I don't know.

292
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
I want to write shit like that.

293
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
I want to write shit that's like relatable.

294
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Like, even if it's like some horror shit where like in real life, if you heard some shit,

295
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
or saw some shit, like, you're not going like, like if you in a house by yourself

296
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
and you see like a shadowy looking motherfucker like daughter across the room,

297
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
you're not going to get up and go, hello?

298
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Hey, who's back there?

299
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
I'm in a house by my fucking self and I know I am.

300
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Why the fuck would I be asking that?

301
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
I'm going to try to get the fuck out the door of my keys.

302
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
But in most movies, they don't do that shit.

303
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I'm telling you, like, I want to make relatable content.

304
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
You know what I mean?

305
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Like, and don't get me wrong, I understand the importance of like, you know,

306
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
fantastical elements to movies.

307
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Like, you know, like, I don't know, avengers and shit like that.

308
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Like, I get that.

309
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
That shit makes total sense.

310
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
You know what I mean?

311
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
That shit makes total sense.

312
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,000
But like, I don't know, like, I don't seem like, you know,

313
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
like Friday the 13th and shit.

314
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:55,000
And it'll be like a guy who's like the jock and he's dating like the fucking

315
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
overly sexual fucking cheerleader lady or some shit.

316
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000
And then like Jason show up with the mask on and mind you, this nigga, Jason is way bigger.

317
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Fucking way more stocky.

318
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:15,000
This nigga hands and shit like the form and the girl go, Brad, where you get that mask from?

319
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Bitch, that's Brad.

320
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Brad wouldn't go take a piss and now he back in the fucking workman jumpsuit with a machete.

321
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
That's Brad.

322
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
He had time to change his clothes and shit.

323
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
But that's the movies.

324
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
And then he'll kill her.

325
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And then Brad had come back from taking the poop or whatever the fuck he was doing.

326
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And he goes, babe, where are you?

327
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:44,000
And then Jason, except from behind the tree or some shit, they'll go, hey, hey, what did you do with my girlfriend?

328
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Tell me right now if I kicked your ass.

329
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:52,000
And then as always, he'll walk up and hit Jason like a three piece of some shit.

330
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Jason here to be, you know, going side to side and getting like punching the face.

331
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,000
And at some point, like he'll just like grab Brad's hand and like fucking just break it off with ease.

332
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000
And that's when Brad grab his hand like, what are you?

333
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Like, should be stupid.

334
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:13,000
And I love it because sometimes the cheesy shit I love, but then to the most part is just like, hang in.

335
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:24,000
So even I just did this whole fucking long talk about not doing a fucking resolution, but scratch that fucking.

336
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:33,000
If I had to say, I'm going to have a resolution this year, I think I'm going to dedicate more of my time, more of my effort to like being creators.

337
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Outside of just music, like I draw and I paint and shit like that.

338
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
So I think like I'm going to paint more.

339
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
I'm going to draw more.

340
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
You know what I mean?

341
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
I'm going to write more outside of like music shit.

342
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
I'm going to short stories fucking.

343
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
I love creepypastas.

344
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
So those who don't know that like short scary stories that be sometimes they'll be short.

345
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Sometimes it's just like an hour long, but they be on like, you know, like YouTube and shit like that.

346
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
I love listening to that shit.

347
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Like that shit almost feel like underground hip hop to like a horror fan type of shit.

348
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000
It's like the the concepts you be be unique and different.

349
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Like, because, you know, as far as Hollywood shit, like once they develop a formula and they see that it works, they'll fucking force feed you to shit.

350
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:29,000
That's why when something does come along and it might slightly be a standout, like it gets like, all right, one of the best horror movies I've seen probably in the past 10 years, both two of them.

351
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
And I like both of them because the concept was different.

352
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:39,000
So like it's one called it follows and it follows more or less like a fucking.

353
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
It's an STD.

354
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,000
It's like a demon attached to it.

355
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
And I love that they never go into detail of like what the demon's name is, where it originated from it.

356
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Who's the first person they don't.

357
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000
It just pops up and the thing about it is, you know, somebody got to sleep with you to pass it on to you.

358
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
But once it's passed on to you, only you can see it.

359
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
And it comes in any form.

360
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Somebody, you know, a stranger, old person, a child, anything.

361
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
And only you can see it, but this is the dope part is that it only can walk.

362
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
So you can outrun it.

363
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
You definitely can.

364
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
You know what I mean?

365
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,000
So if you're getting a car and drives those two hours, it'll walk, but it's locked on to you.

366
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Like it's GPS.

367
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
You basically GPS to the shit.

368
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000
It's going to find you can.

369
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
You know what I mean?

370
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:39,000
So like, but the thing is, if you give it to somebody and don't tell them, once they kill that person that you gave it to, it works as well.

371
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
It works as way backwards.

372
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,000
So let's say you go sleep with like whoever, some chick, you sleep with it, give her that shit.

373
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
And then you move like two towns over and you don't think about it.

374
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
And your hopes is that she keeps sleeping some mind and they sleep some mind.

375
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,000
But let's say that, like, you know, she doesn't.

376
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
And you don't tell her what to look out for.

377
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And then she gets killed by this thing.

378
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,000
It makes his way back to you.

379
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
So you might be at home chilling and shit.

380
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
A month's then went by and you just like, I'm good.

381
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And then your mom are not going to do it like, hey, you want some leftovers or some shit?

382
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And your answer door like, yeah, mom, as soon as you open the door, it might be like a seven foot tall nigga with no eyes in the sack and kill you.

383
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
And then whoever you slept with, who gave it to you and works way back.

384
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
And it's called a father's like that shit is amazing.

385
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Like, sexually like that shit is dope.

386
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
That and it's a movie called hereditary.

387
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000
And it's just like hereditary is a true piece of art to me.

388
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Like the cinematography, the fucking the acting from everybody is fucking superb.

389
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,000
That's just so I want to I want to make that type of shit.

390
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
And mind you, like, this is a one man show.

391
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Like, I don't got a team of writers.

392
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
I don't have a big film crew, none of that shit.

393
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000
You know, I know people would like film experience and actually one of my homeboys, he got a red camera.

394
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000
And if you don't know what a red camera is, it's like a Sony red.

395
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Like it's a it's a super high quality camera.

396
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Like that shit costs like more than like cars and shit.

397
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Like a really good red camera might be like fucking 30,000 used.

398
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
You know what I mean?

399
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Like, but the quality of it is like, you could, you could put it on par with like Marvel films or like fucking big studios,

400
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
use red cameras and stuff.

401
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
And I actually got a homeboy who got one.

402
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Actually, he didn't shot he didn't shot a couple like independent films in the city and they don't.

403
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
And I saw on this Instagram was like they was having like a premier for it.

404
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
And I thought that was super dope.

405
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Like, I just like that.

406
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,000
I like seeing people achieve shit.

407
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I like seeing people like, you know, chase dreams and shit.

408
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
And I feel like a lot of the times like we'll get so caught up in our head that some shit is like unobtainable.

409
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000
It's just like, you'll give up before you try.

410
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Like, I don't like that.

411
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Like that's that's one of the things I hate to hear the most when I hear person say, I can't be before they even try.

412
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
You can.

413
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Everybody can do everything.

414
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Literally, everybody can do everything.

415
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Some people just do it better than others.

416
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000
So can you flip?

417
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Yeah.

418
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
You might be able to do like a cartwheel baby robot.

419
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Are you Olympic level?

420
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Slipping?

421
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
No.

422
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Can you sing?

423
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Yeah.

424
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
You might be tone deaf to shit.

425
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
So you ain't Marvin Gaye.

426
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
You ain't Yawsey.

427
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
You ain't McKinney.

428
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
You sing?

429
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Yeah.

430
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
You just don't do it as well as they do.

431
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
But you can't.

432
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Yeah, for sure.

433
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
So I did people like limit that self.

434
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000
I mean, I used to do that show a lot.

435
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
I would like get stuck in my head and shit.

436
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Like, I started rapping, I was like, shit, ten-ish.

437
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And I ain't released my first project.

438
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
And so I was like, am I mid-20s?

439
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Shit, actually, later than that.

440
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
I'm mid to late 20s.

441
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
So, but since I like got out of my head and got past that shit,

442
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:13,000
like, I done dropped two albums and four mixed tapes.

443
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
And I boasted to you now, I probably have like 100 songs

444
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
that's not released.

445
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
And this year I'm going to do that too.

446
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
I'm just going to flood that shit.

447
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Shit that's done shit, that's not done shit, that's mixed shit,

448
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
that's missing the verse.

449
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Fuck it.

450
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
I'm just putting it out there.

451
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
I don't care.

452
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
That's why I hold onto it.

453
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
I'm just putting it out there.

454
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,000
So, but me 2025 is the year of creation for me.

455
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Oh, the year of creativity.

456
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
I'm on that shit.

457
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
And it ain't for like no monetary game

458
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
because the thing I talked about earlier

459
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
more or less secured that for me.

460
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
So, if something does come from this from like a residual

461
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
standpoint, cool, great.

462
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
All right.

463
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
But that's not why I'm doing it.

464
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
That's not my motivations are doing it.

465
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
It's not like I need to put this out so I can make some money.

466
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
No, no, no, no, make some money.

467
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Like I, I can say this.

468
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
I started, I start, I can't even call it a job.

469
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
I start my new career.

470
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Shit.

471
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Two days from now.

472
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,000
The ink is dry.

473
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Everything is, I already know what my office looked like.

474
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,000
All that, like, and this is like life changing money.

475
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
So, I can't, I'm cheesing right now.

476
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
I'm glad I ain't on camera.

477
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Like I'm a smile like a fucking smile.

478
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Like I'm on ecstasy right now.

479
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000
So shit.

480
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
I'm so fucking happy.

481
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
But, you know, I go, I'm here for a good time.

482
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Not a long time.

483
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
I hope everybody out here stays safe, stay productive,

484
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
stay creative, whatever goal you chase and hope you get one step closer to it.

485
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
If not, achieving it all together.

486
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,000
And then once you achieve that goal, man, reset, make new goals and chase them.

487
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,000
So, if you want to comment on anything that I said today, a question or ask me anything,
