Blas and 50, but Kendrick was one 47 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,520 of those artists. 48 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,520 So he performed. 49 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:33,680 Good Kid Mask City and he performed Be All Right, which are like two of his biggest hits. 50 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800 And at the time he was signed to TDE. 51 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120 So they were getting like a split on publishing. 52 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,080 So I don't know the exact split, but he might have been getting like 40, 50, maybe something 53 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,580 like that. 54 00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:52,200 But now that he has his own label, PZ Lang, the new album is exclusively through his production 55 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,360 company, his label. 56 00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,880 So he performed, I think, I think he performed like eight songs, nine songs or something 57 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,880 like that. 58 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:08,200 And he owned, I want to say, seven out of the nine or six out of the nine. 59 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:15,040 So it was a way to, you know, propel his new project and it did just that. 60 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,000 I saw somebody say that G and next, the album was pretty much like the soundtrack for the 61 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,600 Super Bowl, which is like a real dope way to look at it. 62 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,880 But soon as Super Bowl was over, like he's the first male hip hop artist in history to 63 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,560 ever do this. 64 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,600 All his previous albums, including his current album sales went through the fucking roof. 65 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,280 So GNX is back at number one. 66 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:46,720 Damn is at number nine and good kid man city is at like number 10. 67 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,520 And the only other male artist to ever do that funny enough was Prince. 68 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:58,480 And the reason why, like, you know, I find human ed is when the initial, uh, this record 69 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,880 came out of his response to first person shooter, which was on, uh, the Metro in Future Shit, 70 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,920 um, like that. 71 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,320 He said, uh, Prince outlived Mike Jack, because Drake always referenced himself as Michael 72 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,320 Jackson. 73 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,560 He was like a mega pop star talented, but you know, but when it comes to Prince, he write 74 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,560 all this shit. 75 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,360 He played all his own instruments. 76 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,280 He was, he wasn't for the masses, even though he a game, even though he gained like a cult 77 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:35,080 like following, like he never was like the commercial darling that wasn't, he wasn't aiming 78 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,120 to be in Pepsi commercials and that type of shit. 79 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,200 So it was more like, I'm a true artist over time of being, I'm a great performer. 80 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,640 Prince Fulett, Kendrick's a fucking amazing artist. 81 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,360 And I guess someone considered Drake to be like a great performer. 82 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,080 So like those parallels, it's funny. 83 00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Like I always say that, you know, um, life is a cycle and you'll find like small moments 84 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,320 like this where if you really pull back the ledge, you can kind of see like history repeating 85 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,320 the self type of shit. 86 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,920 So it was just amazing. 87 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:17,480 Like it's the most dude's Superbowl halftime show of all times. 88 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,200 I mean, that's like literal like psychology think pieces on it. 89 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,920 Like it's, it's fucking amazing. 90 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,240 Like shout to Kendrick Lamar, shout to PG Lang, shout to TD, shout to Automate. 91 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,800 Like I can't lie. 92 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,680 I'm not going to get too personal on my own behalf, but you know, I've been going through 93 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,800 like some shit lately. 94 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,800 So I was in the midst of putting out a project of my own reasoning. 95 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,080 And I mean, I have a ton of songs on my hard drive and I've been writing a bunch of new 96 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,720 shit, but I just haven't had the passion to like really record. 97 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,280 I might record some shit here and there. 98 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:55,800 Just I don't forget the cadence or like just to get an idea out real quick. 99 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,760 But as far as like fully locked in from sun up to sundown, I'm back to back songs, which 100 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,480 is typically my MO. 101 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,240 I haven't had that like that drive, but honestly, this Kendrick shit got me feeling beyond 102 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,240 motivated. 103 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,720 So this weekend I'm probably going to be locked in and like really get some shit done. 104 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,280 So what else going on in this new season of America? 105 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:26,720 Oh, so the elong muses are fucking pieces of shit cycle path. 106 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,280 But everybody already know that. 107 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,720 He was doing some kind of like press conference, but he did it from the Oval Office. 108 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,760 Now, for those who don't know, like, whenever there's any kind of like press conference 109 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,920 or anything held in the Oval Office, it's always the sitting president who speaks. 110 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,640 It's never like somebody on that cabinet or a delegate or some shit like that. 111 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,880 And I'm not even sure what elong muses position is. 112 00:07:53,880 --> 00:08:00,080 He might be the head of the Department of Treasury, I guess I don't, I don't fucking 113 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,920 up. 114 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,440 I don't research none of this shit. 115 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,920 I get on here and basically freestyle. 116 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:12,320 So maybe I should start like researching shit more, but whatever's so Trump is sitting 117 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960 at the desk looking like a fucking deuce. 118 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,160 Elon's up there with a fucking all black make America grid again hat. 119 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,200 And he has his son with him. 120 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,840 His son name is X and he's like four years old. 121 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,120 So as he long is like speaking, Trump's just sitting there. 122 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:34,160 So somebody like raised the value of the audio or the video. 123 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:40,120 So he long son, while Trump is sitting there, he goes, you're not really the president. 124 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,920 So Trump is just looking straight ahead, like more or less ignoring them. 125 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,600 And then a few seconds later, like Trump finally spoke and said something and you can 126 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,000 hear Elon son with the volume added. 127 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,560 I mean, I raised up where he goes, shut your fucking mouth. 128 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,080 So initially I laughed at it. 129 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280 Like I'm pretty sure a lot of people did. 130 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,040 But when you really take a step back, that's actually terrifying. 131 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Not the kid cursing because that's what kids do sometimes. 132 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,720 The fact that kid didn't, it didn't come to that kid to say those things themselves. 133 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,800 That's not like he sat there and he thought to himself, this guy's not really the president. 134 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,800 No. 135 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Kids usually follow behavior. 136 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,840 They mimic what they hear and what they see. 137 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:34,840 So if like our financial institutes, job markets, different departments, as Elon is like running 138 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,360 all this shit from a financial standpoint and his son is saying to the sitting president, 139 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,000 fuck Trump by the way. 140 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,680 But he's a, he's standing there with the sitting president for the child to look at the president 141 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,920 and go, you're not the president. 142 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,720 That's not the original thought. 143 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,000 That's some shitty to hurt his father say, probably talking on the phone with somebody 144 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,160 or just in general conversation. 145 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,200 And then when Trump does his press conference, Elon Musk is probably sitting there like, 146 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,480 man, I wish we shut his fucking mouth. 147 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:11,360 So when he starts speaking in person, the kid, which I'm assuming, but if I had to bet, 148 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,680 I would make a high bet on this. 149 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,680 He's mimic what his dad says, man, shut your fucking mouth. 150 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:23,040 Which speaks to the fact that I've said this for a long time and I don't want to get like 151 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,280 ultra political, because lately I feel like I've been speaking on a shit ton of politics. 152 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,520 But honestly, that's the shit that's been running the news cycle because it's so out 153 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,520 of whack. 154 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,440 Like this shit feel like a simulation. 155 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,800 Like it's so much shit going on right now. 156 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,400 But like, I don't know. 157 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:49,040 You know, I have a literal, literal farna being in control of like out day to day lives. 158 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:56,120 It's fucking terrifying, especially one who's a fucking billionaire. 159 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,160 And I get people go, oh, you know, Richard's rich, a million, a billion. 160 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,800 No, it's a big fucking difference. 161 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,600 And I'm going to give you a perfect example how much of a difference a million from a 162 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,480 billion truly is. 163 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,120 So if you take a million seconds, right? 164 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,320 You count a million seconds. 165 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,760 It would equal out to 11 days. 166 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,000 And I think like five hours. 167 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,400 If you count to a million, a million seconds. 168 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,120 So if you go one Mississippi, two Mississippi, a million times, you will be doing that shit 169 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,880 for 11 days straight. 170 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:37,040 A billion, a billion seconds is the equivalent of 31 years and seven months. 171 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,160 That's the difference. 172 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:45,280 So this nigga has that amount two to three times over. 173 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,720 But he's making decisions for us. 174 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:57,120 The nine to fives, the people who got to get up and go to work and bust their ass for just 175 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,040 enough to hopefully maintain your bills and feed yourself and your family. 176 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:08,320 This motherfucker who could lose $50 million and not fucking skip a beat. 177 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,360 It wouldn't affect him at all. 178 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,600 He's deciding who gets to have school loans and shit. 179 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,840 That's terrifying. 180 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,520 And in order to get on Trump's campaign, like he's flooding over money. 181 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:30,640 So the Jeff Bezos, so did fucking Zuckerberg and all these other fucking mega billion 182 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,200 billion and motherfuckers like so they can have a clean runway. 183 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,680 So whatever things they were trying to get done with Congress or the Senate or somebody 184 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:48,720 would put a stop to it or put up some kind of roadblocks or lack of a better term to 185 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,240 stop them from having this free run that shit that could be detrimental to society, to 186 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,800 the world as a whole. 187 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:04,360 But because they got the House, they got the Senate, they got Congress, it's all Republican. 188 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Trump's at the head. 189 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,840 He's been hitting him with money. 190 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200 So whatever little ideas they have, why the fuck would he oppose? 191 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,920 Man, they lying in my pockets. 192 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:19,240 So the people who has the power to make decisions don't have the people best interest at heart. 193 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,200 They not even thinking about us on some real shit. 194 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,200 That's terrifying. 195 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Because when the markets crash and all this inflation and turfs and all this other type 196 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,080 of shit, they're not affected at all. 197 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,080 We are. 198 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,400 We're already seeing signs of it where if you go into like a grocery store, a card in 199 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,640 the eggs for 12 eggs, maybe $2, $3 if you get a good brand. 200 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:49,200 I was in the market every day and it was a dozen and a half. 201 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,600 That shit was like $10, $11. 202 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,240 I spoke to one of my homeboys in New York. 203 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,920 A card in the eggs in New York right now, he said it's $22 for 12 eggs. 204 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,240 He said they go into the corner store and you can buy how you would buy like a loose 205 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640 cigarette as opposed to the entire pack. 206 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,880 These motherfuckers are selling loose eggs for $2 a piece. 207 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,040 I initially heard this on a drill button podcast. 208 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,800 I laughed thinking it's a joke or like they're being like hyperbolic. 209 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,800 They're not really. 210 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,800 No. 211 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,160 So I called my homeboys in New York and I go, yo, I was watching, I was watching the 212 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,200 J.B.P. and they get these. 213 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,560 He's like, no, bro, that's real shit. 214 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,160 I'm like, get the fuck out. 215 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520 He's like, bro, I promise you, it's real shit. 216 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,280 It's like he goes to stores like a day or two later. 217 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,280 I'm not even thinking about them. 218 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,160 I get random ass pitch and mail, open it up and he's showing me the price tag on the 219 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,160 eggs. 220 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,000 I said, get the fuck out of here. 221 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,320 These niggas is selling eggs for $2 in Bodegas. 222 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,400 Like this shit is insane. 223 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,080 The world is scary, man. 224 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,120 Oh, speak enough. 225 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,720 Lease on a positive note. 226 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:06,040 There's this research center or this medical research company and career and they developed 227 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,280 basically the cure for cancer. 228 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,080 What you would think would be the biggest story on the news, but it's not. 229 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,840 But I guess they inject you with whatever they created. 230 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:22,520 It takes the effect of cancer cells and more or less make them kill themselves. 231 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,400 Biggest one for anybody that upset you that type of garbage. 232 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,680 Or, I mean, and then there's a secondary company. 233 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:37,920 I want to say out of Switzerland where it takes the cancer cells. 234 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:44,560 It merges with like a normal blood cell and then that normal blood cell now converts the 235 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,320 cancer cell back into a normal blood cell. 236 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:54,280 It's almost like age in the reverse. 237 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,280 That's monumental. 238 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,720 That should be the biggest story, but it's not. 239 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,160 It's all of this. 240 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,040 Magus shared and all this other shit that doesn't matter, but does matter. 241 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,000 The world is in a weird space right now. 242 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,280 But like, oh, on top of that, bro, since, uh, fuck, I want to say in the past month, 243 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,200 there's been eight plane crashes. 244 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,520 What happened today? 245 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,240 Also, I'm recording on Wednesday. 246 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,320 So as soon as this recording is done, I'm going to bounce it down, put it out tonight. 247 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,480 My day's been so busy. 248 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,080 Like, you know what I'm saying? 249 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,920 I haven't had really had a time because I typically record like on a weekend, mix it, 250 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,000 edit it, put it out on Wednesday type of shit. 251 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,480 But I got so much on my plate. 252 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,160 I just been running around just getting shit in order. 253 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Like, honestly, if I can be a little personal and speak on a positive note, I'm smoking 254 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,120 this life shit right now. 255 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,080 I'm not going to lie. 256 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,000 Like, add some hurdles. 257 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,240 Not only did I get over the motherfuckers, I hit the finish line, double back and then 258 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,240 bury the hurdles. 259 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,040 So if I decided to travel that path again, I wouldn't even have to like fucking skip 260 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,240 but it won't jump a hurdle. 261 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,800 Like, I'm really getting shit in order. 262 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,840 What's got me feeling like creative again? 263 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,960 So I don't know, man. 264 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,960 I feel good. 265 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,320 Like this would be episode 23 and I record once a week. 266 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:28,080 So for the past 23 weeks, I've been consistently putting out a podcast and I'll check my numbers 267 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280 here and there and I do good numbers. 268 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,280 I do decent numbers and shit. 269 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,720 But like I said, man, like I'm not really looking for like any type of fame or anything 270 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,160 out of this shit, especially not fame. 271 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:46,240 Man, if a little money come along, shit by all means, but I'm not looking to be, you 272 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,760 know, walking number one on any streaming site. 273 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,640 I don't care about that type of shit. 274 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,160 This shit feel like therapy to me. 275 00:17:53,160 --> 00:18:01,320 This is for like all the motherfuckers who have like, you know, weird thoughts like I 276 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,320 do. 277 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,840 Like, all right, let me give you an example of what I mean. 278 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,160 Like I'm the type of person we have some shit could happen like 10 years ago and I might 279 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,680 have tuckled about it in a moment and then I'll just be like driving and I'll randomly 280 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,160 see some shit that'll trigger that memory and I will laugh and I got fucking tears in 281 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,520 my eyes about some shit that didn't happen like 10 years ago that I just randomly remembered. 282 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:30,840 Like, excuse me. 283 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:37,040 I remember like one of my first department, I was living on Utah Street downtown Baltimore, 284 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,760 so I was down street from like Lexington Market. 285 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,640 And for those who don't know, Lexington Market is like a store called Baltimore. 286 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,400 They used to actually like sell slaves from there. 287 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,480 Like they would bring the slaves in at like sales point, which is like on the water and 288 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,600 it's probably like a few miles away and they would bring them up to Lexington Market in 289 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,160 like the 1700s and sell them. 290 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,240 Again, not to be grim, but just a little piece of history. 291 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,560 But in this day and age, that shit look like the dawn of the day. 292 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,320 This is like junkies everywhere. 293 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,640 The only time it looked clean is when they decided to do some kind of like marathon or 294 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,520 some shit and then city officials or whatever come through the day before, completely clean 295 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:20,480 the area, pick up all the trash, sweep the streets, rid of all the fucking normal drug 296 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280 dealers and junkies and other shit that be down there. 297 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,000 Why people come through do that run and a day later after that run shit is over. 298 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,520 It's right back to being a zombie. 299 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,120 But anyways, I used to live down the street from there. 300 00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,840 So Lexington Market. 301 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,360 Like it's like a bunch of little small like food vendors inside of there. 302 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,800 So I'm living down. 303 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,400 I'm living down there on Utah Street. 304 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,920 So I get up one Saturday morning. 305 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,240 So I'm gonna get some breakfast. 306 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,120 So I walk down to Lexington Market. 307 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,920 So they usually have like an upstairs sitting area. 308 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:58,280 So I give me like a little, it was like a little breakfast plan that would like, damn, 309 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,240 I'm drawing a fucking blank on this shit. 310 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,520 Oh, French Toast. 311 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,040 Turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese, whatever I was having. 312 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,040 Something that eat my business. 313 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:17,040 So these two crack kids in there and like the one, the male crack kid told his girlfriend 314 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:23,520 crack it like, bitch, I don't feel like you love me like you used to. 315 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,880 So she goes, man, I don't fucking love you. 316 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,880 I never loved you. 317 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,240 I loved you because you always had them drugs with you. 318 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,680 And now you all know fucking drugs. 319 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,480 He's like, bitch, you the one that put me on the drugs. 320 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,680 So they yawking back and forth. 321 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,680 My Andrew is like fucking seven in the morning. 322 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,560 And I'm just sitting there and just like a neat French toast. 323 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,560 Wash knees. 324 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,360 Two crack kids go at it. 325 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:46,640 So she goes, you don't even like when I make love to you no more. 326 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,040 And he's like, bitch, you go look at your fucking teeth. 327 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,520 So like her front tooth was like chipped. 328 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,760 And he's like, man, when you suck my dick, it's fair like scissors. 329 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,760 Yeah. 330 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,120 And at the time I chuckled, but I just kept eating my food. 331 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,560 I didn't even think about it. 332 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,800 So the other day, like I'm driving down the street and I see this like, I see this picture. 333 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,200 I mean, the sign for this hair salon that's about to open or whatever. 334 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,800 And the logo for the salon is like a pair of hands would like holding the pair of scissors. 335 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,400 And as soon as I saw the scissors, I just in my head, I heard a crack hit. 336 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,160 Bitch, your teeth is like scissors. 337 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,840 And I'm in the car losing my fucking mind. 338 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,640 I'm crying tears laughing over some shit that happened about a fucking decade ago, but I'm 339 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,640 in the car losing my fucking mind. 340 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,400 So when I say like my brain is so scattered brain like that, or like I give you another 341 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:49,360 example, if I'm walking down the street and let's say I see like a barcode on the ground 342 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,680 and his barcode might have came off like a wrapper, but I don't know where it came off. 343 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,360 It's just a barcode. 344 00:21:54,360 --> 00:22:00,600 My brain goes, most people just see the barcode won't even acknowledge it to step over my 345 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,360 brain to see it. 346 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:04,280 And then I'll start walking. 347 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:10,160 Then I think I wonder what package in that barcode came off. 348 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,400 I wonder what factory that that bag of whatever was produced from that had that barcode on 349 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,400 it. 350 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,400 Who owns that factory? 351 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,400 I wonder if that family on it is corporate. 352 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,640 I wonder who's going to be the beneficiary of whoever owns the factory. 353 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,880 And then my brain to keep doing that shit until I tell myself to stop. 354 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,360 Like that shit drives me crazy. 355 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,880 But on the flip side of it, it kind of helped me as far as like music. 356 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,520 So when I'm writing, I never get right this block. 357 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:44,120 So if I write a line, if I look like I'm thinking, it's not that I can't think of the next line. 358 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:48,360 In my head, it's like four or five lines that pop in like instantaneously. 359 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:53,880 And if you ever see me like, like I'm pondering, it's not that I can't find the rhyme. 360 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,160 I'm trying to pick the one that I want to use. 361 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,520 But that should help like in school and all that type of shit. 362 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,680 So whenever I really get into something, like I'll start off just like researching for a 363 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,360 couple of hours or like for a couple minutes, which turns a couple of hours, which turns 364 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,560 a couple months. 365 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,400 And then I'll never even tell nobody that I'm looking up shit or researching shit. 366 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,840 And when they will just have like a random fucking conversation and you'll say something 367 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,440 and it'll trigger whatever it was I've been studying about a year ago. 368 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600 And I'll give you every fucking fact I've ever learned about the shit. 369 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,960 And they're like, damn, I didn't even know you was into that type of shit. 370 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,960 I go, I'm not. 371 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,160 And they go, well, why do you know it? 372 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,040 I go, but I'm going to add the reader. 373 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,080 I read once a day. 374 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,360 So like, I don't give it some article. 375 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:44,440 If it's a fucking news snippet, I try to read at least one thing a day because I feel like 376 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,040 I try to learn one thing a day too. 377 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,600 So if it's something simple like a recipe, a new way to tie my tennis shoes and a new 378 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,240 way to get to work or anything, like I feel like we should try to pick up at least one 379 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,240 thing every day. 380 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,000 It don't have to be some fucking grand thing. 381 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,920 Like I'm going to learn how to do origami today. 382 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,920 I don't have to be that. 383 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,440 It could be something as simple as like, all right, here's a random one for y'all. 384 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,640 And for anybody who don't believe me, you know how like you put spaghetti into like 385 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:17,320 Tupperware containers and you'll get that fucking orange kind of looking residue on it. 386 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,120 Yo, still, still, uh, still that container with warm water and a little bit of soap and 387 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:29,960 take, uh, take a napkin, sit the napkin inside of that water and then just start wiping around 388 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,960 the run. 389 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,000 All of that residue will absorb into the napkin and it will make your Tupperware look brand 390 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,360 brand. 391 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:40,800 Brand those shit like that. 392 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:47,280 So right now the book that I'm reading, uh, it's a book called the blood meridian. 393 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,280 This is probably some of the most graphic shit I've ever read in my entire fucking 394 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,280 life. 395 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,120 Like if you squeamish, got a weak stomach, it's about like the old West, like doing like 396 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:03,680 the Great Western expansion and how just ruthless that, that time of life was. 397 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,520 It's my more like, I wish they would make a movie of it, but if you, if you take shit 398 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:18,840 out of the story, it kind of takes away the integrity of the story, but they would never 399 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,840 make the move. 400 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,840 They, they can never make that movie. 401 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,160 Like it wouldn't be released in theaters or straight to DVD or Blu-ray or streaming or 402 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,880 whatever the fuck platform niggaz use is way too graphic, but it's an amazing story. 403 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,120 Like it's beautifully written. 404 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:32,640 The detail is incredible. 405 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,920 Like, so if you have, and it's an old book, but if you haven't read it, read the blood 406 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:45,640 meridian, it'll turn your stomach, but it's, it's fucking amazing writing. 407 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,200 But I took up enough of your time. 408 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,720 And like I always say, I'm here for a good time, not a long time. 409 00:25:52,720 --> 00:26:02,120 So with that being said, I hope everybody stay positive, stay productive, stay focused, 410 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:06,360 whatever goal you have or whatever goal you chase, and I get, I hope you get one step 411 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,760 closer to it, if not achieving it all together. 412 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:16,040 And if you do achieve that goal, set a new goal, chase after that, don't settle, don't 413 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,240 ever settle. 414 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,240 Life is short. 415 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,160 Even I believe in reincarnation. 416 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,480 We still get one time around at least in this frame with this name, with this family. 417 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760 So bask in it, enjoy it. 418 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,040 You know what I mean? 419 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,280 No goal is un-tainable. 420 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,920 There is nothing that's impossible. 421 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,800 Chase everything that crushes your mind. 422 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,800 Fuck it. 423 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,800 It's no redoes. 424 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,960 Unless it is reincarnation, but you probably won't remember it. 425 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,880 But I think that's kind of what deja vu. 426 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:50,840 Anyways, if you want to challenge anything I said or further discuss anything I said, 427 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,600 I can be reached at Instagram slash QG music. 428 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,920 That's
