3eezy bih: And and

Wills On The Tank: Nah, yeah, yeah.
3eezy bih: us get a dude that didn't show us what he was supposed to and say, Yeah, he could have been better, but I'm not articulating it right, but I hear that all the time, be like, man, I think he could have been
smoo: Yeah, that's that was my that's my Beyonce and Kelly Rowland conversation we had.
3eezy bih: Yeah, it's kinda
Big Darrell: Yeah.
3eezy bih: it's kinda tough to do that because a nigga that actually gave us what he could do to say that 'cause a nigga put up two great songs, man, he could have
smoo: Yeah.
3eezy bih: been it's like, come on, bruh, is that fair it take more than just two great songs?
smoo: Yeah. but that kinda goes that kinda go to
Eric: Choy, yoy, yoy, yoy, yoy.
Wills On The Tank: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
smoo: the being a rapper, it like being a rapper is it's kinda like what my boy John Mann said, football is ninety nine percent mental, you know what I'm saying, and one percent
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: physical.
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: rapping is the same thing. the skill
Big Darrell: Exactly.
smoo: the skill is the the least
Big Darrell: It's it's it's the I guess it it's it ain't the skill, it's the well damn what it is, it's the execution. That's what it is for
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: rapping. It's like who gonna do it and actually do it to to to the level it needs to be done and put in the time and the work. Because drove got the talent,
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: but it's like he ain't put the time that TI put in to give us legendary classic. And then I I was thinking about
Wills On The Tank: Yes, that's a fake. That's a fake. That's a fair.
smoo: Mm-hmm. Yeah, the the you the
Big Darrell: that the other day I was watching. Jeezy and Joe Debreeze and they was all talking about the they was talking about the boys in the hood, right? That was Jeezy's first rap that he ever did, that boys in the hood. He said that was he wasn't even a rapper then when he made that verse, right? And everybody thought Joe De Breeze was gonna be the number one nigga. And
3eezy bih: I staying that state in the
Wills On The Tank: So do you it, so do it.
Big Darrell: and Joe Debrees, he ain't turned out to do shit. And
smoo: Man, I seen that nigga Joe De Breeze getting his car towed a couple days ago.
3eezy bih: Swan to
Big Darrell: And and it just it's so sad to see and everybody always say Jody Breeze is a hater. they say they're on the comment they'd be like, This what it this will happen when you think you too cool for school
smoo: Hey, that one a shot. That one shot that told it me. I
Wills On The Tank: Are you?
smoo: I got a video.
Eric: Man, Jodie Breeze called us straight. Jody Breeze just called us straight so bad.
Big Darrell: Ha
smoo: I got a video. I got a video of it, bro. My car. My I was in the parking lot and I seen niggas cars getting towed. And I seen that nigga Johnny Brees talk. no. I was
Eric: not on Instagram or nothing, real life.
Wills On The Tank: So you saying it's a real life?
Big Darrell: In real life.
smoo: I was my Yeah, I was I was I was walking past some cars getting told and it was the nigga like pleading into the nigga who was towing the car. And I said, shit, that's that nigga Johnny Brees.
3eezy bih: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: That's funny, you still know what that nigga look like, bro.
smoo: That nigga getting a corolla, he was getting a corolla toe. I'm joking about that.
Big Darrell: What a
Wills On The Tank: Dang, bruh. He was predicted to be that one
Eric: No bro
Wills On The Tank: though. He really was.
Big Darrell: He was though.
Eric: Dang Jody.
Wills On The Tank: He was predicted.
smoo: Yeah yeah.
Wills On The Tank: I remember when he came out with that song with Jazzy Fay.
Eric: Jori Ma Jowri.
Wills On The Tank: Y'all know I'm talking about that. What's that song he had? All the Gangs to All the Gangs to Do is Stay Fres. Or am I mixing it up with Jeezy? It was something about stay fresh. He he had a clean song with Jazzy Faye. he Johnny Breeze was actually pretty straight.
Big Darrell: And he had one with Carrie Hillson, Joni Breed.
smoo: Yeah.
3eezy bih: Only song I remember about Joe Debris when he was like, And that young nigga young Gigi is a bitch, that's it, but That's it.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, man.
smoo: See
Big Darrell: They it was like it was like and then it's so crazy till when Jeezy left, then Gorilla Zoe joined the group and he ended up being bigger than Joe Debrees. That shit crazy,
smoo: Yeah. Yeah, but but that it it's it's a whole bunch of that's what I'm saying. it ain't just it ain't just your skill, man, And I think I think, we we
Big Darrell: Thanks. It it ain't nothing about ski though.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: we we all talk about that. it's the you gotta be charismatic. You gotta know how to handle
Eric: Yeah. Yeah.
smoo: business meetings, you know what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: Frags.
smoo: You gotta know how to shake people hands and just
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: carry that energy, you know what I'm saying? And that
Eric: Yeah, for sure.
Wills On The Tank: Right.
smoo: kinda like that kinda like why whale's saying it's that you need all this talent to be a musician, and I don't think that's I don't think well not he said it's it's harder to be an athlete and we kinda already had this conversation, but I think they kinda like one and the same. you could be and maybe he don't know this, but you could be an athlete with four or two speed and get your opportunity. You know what I'm saying? You can ha you could be this athlete with this one attribute that could take you a long way. You know what I'm saying? That don't mean that you
Big Darrell: Right.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: supposed to make it. You just have an attribute that could get you in those rooms. and so I think it's
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
Eric: Absolutely.
smoo: the same I think it's the same for for artists. you just you can
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: just have that one song that get you in the room, but that ain't gonna mean you get longevity.
Wills On The Tank: That makes sense. That makes sense.
Big Darrell: Cause because
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: even if you do that right okay Drogue had the best flow we un undeniable right but then you got somebody like Soul Boy who can't rap at all but the nigga can put he got he got the look he got the energy he know how to make the songs and he's a self-starter so it's like hell yeah
Eric: Market and he a marketing genius. Mm-mm.
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: And he got a personality that's gonna make you pay attention. when he get on interviews
Big Darrell: Thanks. Right.
Wills On The Tank: and talk, he gonna say something provoking. He he just he just funny.
Big Darrell: And the nigga can't even make beats, but the nigga made his own beats. And you and I would say he got some of the most iconic beats in
Eric: Sime to the dough.
Big Darrell: in rap history.
smoo: Yeah. And
Wills On The Tank: It does I
smoo: then I'ma ask I'ma ask I'ma ask you this, Willio. Who what what artist what artist
Eric: Turn over.
smoo: has like went viral and became a star?
Wills On The Tank: Soud boy.
Big Darrell: That's the only one.
smoo: I I don't even think you can consider that because he did it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, that's fact. I'm trying to think. It Hold on. What what about would y'all say Glorilla falling today? Cause what when she came
Big Darrell: He created and he created that. So Soulzaboy created by virility. I guess that's what it's called.
Eric: He had a formula. He had a formula.
Wills On The Tank: out with that what's that song she came out that that that s that song you you had post?
3eezy bih: Nigga free, nigga.
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. She that and she that went that was kinda like a viral moment. It's a few of them that a that that just kinda went what's that hold on hold on T Grizzly, T Grizzly
Big Darrell: Glorilla, yeah, yeah, that was a good one. That was a good one. Glorilla.
smoo: But I don't I don't know man. I feel like
Big Darrell: T Grizzly. T Grizzly. That's a good one. That's a good one.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: I feel like if you got stand power, I don't think you I don't think
Big Darrell: I I think Glorilla is one of the the best ones like far as staying power. That was a good one. See Grizzly, he he came and went.
3eezy bih: Sama, what you mean what you mean by what
Wills On The Tank: She got star she got star power. That's what she got.
3eezy bih: you what you mean by 'cause that's kinda that that that
Eric: What is what does stand power mean?
3eezy bih: that's
Big Darrell: Stan Power is like okay, I'm gonna give an example and I ain't even gonna give you the biggest examples, right? Stan Power is like boss man D Lo, right? he like that one flow he went viral on, but he's still dropping hits, right?
smoo: Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: That's my boy, man.
3eezy bih: Talking about so them then my question though, so what's considered going viral because that's the I I don't think there's a such thing far as what what you trying to make it smooth. It sounds like 'cause you're like who went viral and s went viral still making it because I think that's the way to go now. it is, that's how you get on. It ain't like a
smoo: Well, I think to me to me I think they could say you go you went viral, but I think it's like it's a lot of hours into going viral that nobody knows about. You know what I'm
Big Darrell: Facts.
smoo: saying? So I feel
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: like once you get on, then if you have staying power, to me like that just it adds up to this is who you were supposed to be regardless. In my opinion.
Big Darrell: Facts, thanks.
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: So that's that so so that's what I'm saying. So you more you more
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: sound like it 'cause viral to me, viral is is like is no such separating it is no such thing anymore 'cause if you got a hot sound, more than likely it's TikTok worthy, but whatever it is. So
smoo: Well I think in the in how
Big Darrell: But no no no no no no no before before the song comes out.
smoo: in let me read let me read what let me read what Wale said. Let me read what Wale said and y'all form form your own opinion. He said it's crazy
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, that's a good one.
smoo: to be a pro athlete, you need endless discipline, God given talent, speed, dexterity, leadership, etc. to get your bag. But to make it in the music industry, you just need to go viral once or twice. You don't even gotta like the music.
Big Darrell: But I would argue it's hard to go the fucking viral.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah it is
smoo: Eso no sé.
Eric: Mm mm.
Wills On The Tank: it is
3eezy bih: Well, I don't think he's saying it's not I don't think he's I don't think he's not saying it's I don't think he's saying it's not hard
Big Darrell: And I I like what you say smooth. It's more than one.
3eezy bih: to go viral. I think he's just saying if he had the which one the easier route. I don't think he's saying it's not.
Big Darrell: I I don't think going viral once or twice because I'm gonna give somebody who a keen Ali that nigga went viral multiple times and he still doesn't have stand power to me. he that nigga would never have stand power to me.
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: He gets it he catching a different type of he catching a different type of fire now though. I think he he
Big Darrell: And look, and look, and look, it was just like with me and Smooth
Wills On The Tank: Saint T I shot him out.
Big Darrell: say he had to he had to get rid of that pimp shit. That shit is played out.
smoo: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Big Darrell: and I feel like he's gonna have trouble trying to sustain Whatever he whatever we call that he got, I I feel like he's gonna have trouble s sustaining it. To me, it looks uncomfortable for him. it it
smoo: Mm. Mm.
Big Darrell: don't look like it don't look natural to me.
smoo: Mm.
Big Darrell: when I see David Banner, right? That look natural. When I see Big Crit,
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: that look natural. Keem Ali. No, no, no, no, no. But like
smoo: You seen you talking about David Banner skipping? That shit looked natural. That shit was crazy to me.
3eezy bih: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: with with the big jersey on and shit, on
Wills On The Tank: Now he went viral recently.
Big Darrell: 22, I I think that
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: look natural. To me, Akeem Ali doesn't have an identity to go with his flow. Yeah, he can rap, he got bars, but he doesn't have that how can I connect with Akeem Ali? Where do we connect that? where do I find where do I see damn I can see myself in Akeem Ali?
smoo: Look, I think I think he's trying to connect the women and I don't think he he ain't he ain't strayed away from that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I don't
Big Darrell: Okay, that that's what that's what it is. Okay, okay, okay.
smoo: think I don't think I think if you if you if you a guy and you like you you like women, I think he like, hey nigga, this what we doing over here. So but I don't I don't think it's
Big Darrell: And see and see that that no no no that that's it, that's it. And to me,
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: that's what a disconnect that's what's gonna make him feel that's the same thing that happened to young blue. He tried to cater to the women, he had a Smash singles, but you don't connect to the men, right? Far as the streets. And when I say the men, the streets, right? when you got somebody like Future, right? He made women's songs, but then he can still cross over and connect to the streets. So then it's like women like the singles, and then they come around they nigga and they they playing the street joints. And they like, they fucking with future because it's an all-around connection. And so
smoo: Right.
3eezy bih: I'm pushing back a little bit, especially with young Blue, 'cause Young Blue, my dog. I I think you not saying too much into I think just like what we say, sometimes it just you ain't you ain't the one. It's just some people it some people is and some people ain't. Cause young Blue had singles, he he had girl songs and dude so
smoo: We do.
Eric: If she ain't got it, she ain't got
Big Darrell: That's true.
Wills On The Tank: He got a lot of songs. He got actually got a lot of good songs.
Eric: it. That theory is brilliant.
Big Darrell: But but but he ain't got the connection. Cause look, cause look, okay, so look, if we put him on a board, right, before they ever came out, right? You put young blue and you put rod wave, right? You just put star status on no songs around you, you will see young blue,
smoo: Young Blue. Young Blue was Young Blue was handed up first.
Big Darrell: you will say young blue will blow up first. Cause Rod Wave, first of all, he's a big nigga. and he ain't got
3eezy bih: But the but the but you you prove my point though. That's what I'm saying. it's kinda
Eric: Mm.
3eezy bih: it is really no blueprint. It's about what No, no, hold on, let me finish. Let me finish. I'm
Big Darrell: It is though. I'ma tell you why. I'ma tell you why. Okay, okay, okay.
3eezy bih: I I'm not disagreeing with it. It's a blueprint, but it it it's kinda like you can't tell people what they want because the people gonna choose. And young blue had those songs. my f his first song, favorite song by me was that That Miss It Baby.
Big Darrell: Yeah, that that's fine.
3eezy bih: Cause when you talk about niggas related to him, I related to him because shit, he was talking about the Camaro and shit. And I had my Camaro. So niggas were related to him and shit. And you were talking about missing your girl and shit too. The shit was perfect. It's just sometimes niggas didn't, just like Drake, niggas done sung and rap before, but sometimes it just you just ain't niggas.
Big Darrell: No. And I'm going tell you what's missing, Dean. Okay. It is a blueprint. Okay, so Rye Wave, right? I'm going to tell you the blueprint. Rye Wave got women's songs. Songs women can sing. Then he got the struggle songs for the street niggas. The niggas
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: that going through it. The niggas who always ha having trouble, always coming up in the struggle to hustle. He connects with them. So it's an all-over-round.
3eezy bih: But what I'm telling you that ain't the first person to do that though. That's what I'm trying tell you.
Big Darrell: No, no, but young blue doesn't do that on the street side. I'm gonna give you another example. Ralo Rodriguez, right? He connects with the niggas. he got the niggas be like, Rahlo's so hard. But you don't hear the women saying Rahlo is so hard. He don't he don't connect with the women. He only connects to the streets. But he don't, if they not connecting, like they not like.
smoo: I don't know now. no. Yeah, Rahlo, Rahlo, Rahlo.
3eezy bih: that's what I'm saying. He got women's songs. No, no, what I'm what
smoo: See
3eezy bih: I'm saying, what I'm saying though, Darrell, is this though. This is what I'm trying to tell you. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm just saying it it it niggas ain't it ain't like niggas created inventing the wheel out here. What I'm trying to tell you. Is a sometimes you just ain't the one that hit. look at j for instance, Jody Breeze, the nigga had the shit, but nigga, I'm fucking with The snowman, man. It's just it just happens.
Big Darrell: But well, but then but then but then I would argue it's it's
smoo: Sure.
Big Darrell: it's a business mentality. Cause okay, Jeezy couldn't rap, right? But Jeezy knew what to say that Joe Debrees can say that made his raps feel larger than life. He like, he say, if it's taking too long to lock up, bring it back. Matter of fact, nigga, you was short. Bring a stack.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm. Bring it back. It was short to anyway. Bring it back.
3eezy bih: Bring it back. Yeah.
Big Darrell: Joe de Breed talking about selling 50s. This nigga talking about some I ain't opened a whole thing up since 94. A nigga ain't never heard that.
smoo: Right.
Wills On The Tank: See
Eric: Yeah, yeah
3eezy bih: I and I and I agree with you on that, but what I'm saying, here go another point. Wayne ain't the first punchline rapper. But we catered to him. It was just he ain't in beat the in the
Wills On The Tank: But see
smoo: And then I'm gonna say this about
Big Darrell: Bo but si we
smoo: Jeezy too. I'm gonna say this about Jeezy. Jeezy, Jeezy music, I think one of y'all said it is bigger than life. It's bigger than drugs. It's bigger than it's bigger than the streets. It's like nigga, it's it's like nigga. I don't give a fuck if you go in a do a goddamn PowerPoint presentation. Nigga, you can push that damn thug motivation one-on-one on and be ready to give the best speech of your life.
Eric: Man, you could
Wills On The Tank: It's
Eric: be cooking you could be you could be cooking French fries at McDonald's.
3eezy bih: They they think you're not crazy.
Wills On The Tank: it's it's like it's like triumphant, you know what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: It's triumphant like
Eric: If you put that thug motivation one on one on, them gonna be the best fries you gonna ever make. I'm telling you.
Wills On The Tank: it and one thing about Jeezy, he Right, right.
smoo: Right.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: Telling you, dog.
Big Darrell: It's and it's crazy for
Wills On The Tank: Geezy knows how to paint pictures of his music too. I remember
Big Darrell: Facts.
Wills On The Tank: I was listening to what's that? The ins I think I want to say inspiration. Hold on.
Big Darrell: Inspiration, yeah.
Wills On The Tank: He it's one song where he got no no no, it's it's it's the recession, my bad. He say,
Big Darrell: Okay.
3eezy bih: His best album.
Eric: Alright, no what you finna say.
Wills On The Tank: he say can photo. if Bill knows what I'm talking about, he say, he's like he's it's like we put the seat but he say like that fusion. Man, it's like it's like
Eric: Yes Work there for though lock up lock up for show Yes why?
3eezy bih: Like what
Wills On The Tank: you can see it, you can see. Him in the car, put the seatbelt
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: on, and nigga, we finna get this money. it's
Eric: Yeah, yeah.
Wills On The Tank: so the and it the the beautiful thing about Jeezy is you don't have to live that life. He paints the picture for you, he puts
Big Darrell: Anyway.
Wills On The Tank: you in the car. I remember he he gotta he got a link where he say, he say, I'm praying while I'm driving. It's making me religious. And maybe I'm tripping, and maybe I'm not. You
3eezy bih: Nah.
Wills On The Tank: ain't even gotta be a drug dealer, you don't have to live that life. But you can see the person in the car just driving, being paranoid, looking, is that that crown vic that's about to pull me over? he he he I can't explain it,
Big Darrell: He's very descriptive.
Wills On The Tank: but he does that so well. He puts you in the car with him. Again, you ain't even gotta be a drug dealer. You you don't you you have never seen this stuff before. The same stuff that he talking about, you never lived it, but it's like he puts you right there,
Big Darrell: It's like it's like hearing a it's like hearing a movie, and that's how I like my raps, right? I want when I'm listening, I want to visualize, especially when when it's a concept album, right? Thug Motivation and Trap of Dot to me are cons conceptual albums, right? It's like you press play, you close your eyes, you can envision everything this nigga saying, because he's so descriptive. And nobody had heard that in the rap game like before. that shit is like like it's it's like the trap of get rich. Die trying. when you play Get Richard
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Die Trying, it's like, damn, this nigga got shot. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Minnie, man. That shit crazy.
3eezy bih: Pull out, pull!
Big Darrell: use it. then because to me, niggas need to make movies. man, like that. What I'm saying. before the movie,
3eezy bih: Nigga be driving for real, ain't it?
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
smoo: Nigga spared off for real. Listen to Gary today.
Eric: I I see so pull off pull off
Big Darrell: look, before the movie even came out, you already had this in your head.
3eezy bih: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah.
Big Darrell: damn. And then the movie just
Wills On The Tank: Amy
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: brought it to life. it's like And so you right, Dean. Some niggas got it, but it's it also takes it takes that that mindset. okay, Jeezy, he had Dev Jam, right? He had Jay-Z. He had Lear, I think it was Lear Connor or somebody who left Dev Jam for Jay-Z. Jay-Z came and took his spot. But he had that business mindset with 50 Cent. He had Dre. It's like a a lot of niggas, they be good, but you still need that one missing piece to put it together to connect. It's like And it still goes on today now. It's like the best rappers
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: have the best, NBA Youngboy, right? Why is he so good? Because he connects with the younger generation. we might not understand it, but the labels like Atlantic and shit, they are making him connect.
3eezy bih: I definitely understand that. I understand Clint Rail.
Big Darrell: They are making him connect.
Wills On The Tank: I think 50 Cent didn't really No no getting with Dre was a plus And I I thought that I really thought that just because he had Dre was part of the reason why he just took off which is But man if you go back and listen to that Power of the Dollar album he dropped Where he dropped that that Ghetto Quran Lord forgive me for I've sinned over the story he tell Man 50 was like if you listen to his old stuff you like man It's no way he wouldn't go blow He he he just had it man. Some some dudes they just got it. it it it it's it was it's just there. it's it's just it you just can see it.
Big Darrell: But then, but then,
3eezy bih: It but he will, but he will.
Big Darrell: but check this out, Willio. Jada kiss, right? It's there for Jada kiss, but he ain't 50 cents.
3eezy bih: But but that's what I'm trying to so you making my point there. I'm I'm saying these niggas be highly talented doing the blueprint, so-called blueprint. It's just sometimes
Eric: Mm.
3eezy bih: people just just drawn to you. It's just sometimes that's just what it is. just just like Rod
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. Yeah.
Big Darrell: D okay, okay, Ding, Ding.
smoo: yeah.
3eezy bih: Wave, just like you talking about Rod Wave, Rod Wave ain't the first fat nigga singing. You know what I'm saying? I'm just I'm just being straight up. They even
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: tried to make the blueprint and he dished him by s trying to make a fat nigga like me.
Big Darrell: But now, now let me ask you this, Dean. Name somebody who didn't fit that that is popular and they
smoo: Father will be.
Big Darrell: made fit. Name a
3eezy bih: What you mean?
Big Darrell: rapper that didn't fit
Wills On The Tank: Biggy?
Big Darrell: or anybody that didn't fit that they kept promoting and that nigga stuck or they stuck.
Wills On The Tank: okay, okay.
3eezy bih: Well give me I guess you gotta give me an example for I can I don't I don't un ca I really don't understand what you're asking.
Big Darrell: okay, so so so some somebody that they promoted so much the niggas niggas wasn't people didn't like and then niggas started liking
smoo: Andrew?
Big Darrell: You think Kendrick But okay, okay.
smoo: No fucking week.
Eric: Yeah, definitely.
3eezy bih: Okay.
Wills On The Tank: I look he had me halfway agreeing. I'm like
3eezy bih: I I
Big Darrell: Do you know somebody?
3eezy bih: you s Talm out, Tom out. You say that they tried to promote so much but it didn't stick?
Big Darrell: No, it did. we wasn't that they wasn't popular. go ahead, go ahead, Bill.
Eric: I'ma say this. I I'ma say this because I but I I actually like this artist. I like I like this artist, Chance the Rapper.
3eezy bih: Hello, hold on, about to say hold on, I won't come trying to understand what the question
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah.
Eric: Chance to Rapper, they didn't like I was on Chance to Rapper from Acid Rap. When I first heard him, I thought he had talent, but the world wasn't fucking with him for real. But then
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: they kept promoting, they kept promoting, they kept promoting him, but then he got to a mainstream and then he dropped, what was that, the color album or something like that? I can't remember. Coloring book. And that album, bro, that that album is damn
Big Darrell: Yep, call color in the book. Nigga won a Grammy independent.
smoo: Colouring book.
Eric: near perfect. I'm just just listening to it. Even now, the album is perfect. But he it stuck for a while, but now it's like, damn.
Wills On The Tank: To me, Ace Hood kinda fall in that in that realm.
Big Darrell: Well nah, nah I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a better one. I'm gonna give you a better one.
smoo: He didn't have the he didn't have the hold on he he didn't have the personality to match the the the the
Eric: That's true. That's true.
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: the music he had put out previously the he didn't have the personality of the the guys who came before him, the J. Cole's, the Drakes, the Kendricks. he didn't have that that aura. And they
Eric: Yep. Yep. Yep. Perfect.
smoo: they wanted him to have that aura, but he didn't have that aura that them guys had.
Big Darrell: facts but they kept promoting and he stuck
Eric: Yeah, facts. That's a good point.
Wills On The Tank: I still kinda fall in there too.
Big Darrell: i'm gonna give you another one i and and smooth gonna agree with this because he hates this
smoo: Tyler the creator. Tyler
Big Darrell: Yep, he already knew it. He already fucking knew it. He already fucking knew it. cause that nigga, bro,
smoo: the fucking creator. Tyler the creator. Yeah.
Big Darrell: but I like Kyler Creator even when he was doing
Wills On The Tank: I still don't get it. I don't.
Big Darrell: the damn, when he eating the cockroach or whatever. But that nigga was never
3eezy bih: I dare say it was on button.
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: like they kept promoting him. The label keep promoting him. and he's he's catching flame. Like to what nigga can do 300,000.
smoo: Well, I think that's I think that just goes to when we talk about I know Dink he he didn't mention it before, who are the new guys? who who are the guys gonna represent the future? So, chance was the first nigga that they tried to, give that torch to. And then
Big Darrell: Yep.
smoo: Tyler the Creator is like the person who kinda has it. You know what I'm saying? But he don't have it on the on this side of the world, but
Big Darrell: Correct.
smoo: shit, he didn't deal with he and did. But shit, we need to move to the next topic, man. I don't know if y'all paid attention to Investfest over I think that was last weekend or the week before. but the guy who
3eezy bih: Right.
smoo: the guy who owned it, Rashad,
Eric: Mm-mm.
smoo: he was just saying that Invest Fest is like no longer a black event. And that got a lot of people in the or uproar. And Is he wrong for that? Or, should it be tailored towards, black people,
Eric: I don't think man, this is a good topic because shout out to EYL, shout out to Earn Your Leisure, shout out to Mark and Mondays. I I'm I listen to the show every week. so shout out to them boys. But I think he I think he he said that out of frustration. Because if you are like, bro, they are that like their whole business model was creating education, financial education for the for the culture. that's what their business model is built off
3eezy bih: people you have black.
Eric: of. So
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: I think seeing of course you doing this for the for the culture and then you seeing these comments and these critiques and it's like damn bro I do it for y'all. Like what the fuck? Quite naturally you're gonna have some some disdain and you're gonna, say something back. But I think that I think if even if he says it's not a black event, the the culture stamped it. it's in Atlanta. First off, that's done strategically. These guys are very smart. You know what I mean? they they ha they they host this Invest Fest in Atlanta. This is the sixth year in a row that it's been in Atlanta. So
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: that tells you a lot right there. The culture says it's a black event. Look who show up. You got Steve Harvey. You got you got Magic Johnson,
3eezy bih: I'll do a game for that bit.
Eric: you got Magic Tyler Perry, you got who else we got? Hold on, I got a whole list right here, man. y like you you can't you can't not say that this ain't a black event. Serena Williams show up.
3eezy bih: Serena it's Serena Williams. She she was the she was this year, wasn't it? She the headline of this year.
Eric: Yeah. Serena Williams show up. Yeah, facts, facts, facts. So I don't know. I think that I think that was just said out of frustration. and and rightfully so. You know what I mean? we all human, we all get to have our own opinions because if you're doing something for a culture then they cr critiquing you or whatever. But and and I think the critiques are f are are fair too. I if d although you doing it for me, I still get to say, yo, this is something that could be done better. I don't know what was said and why he said that, but I just think he was upset and lashed out a little bit.
smoo: Well, I think the first thing was he was saying how the city of Atlanta hadn't did nothing for the event, and how Yeah, yeah, that was
Eric: Mm. On the Breakfast Club, right? Yeah.
smoo: the first thing that they said and then, the people in Atlanta, kinda was
Eric: Mm.
smoo: telling them, Well, y'all can take this shit elsewhere and you wouldn't get support from any other city. Like you said, they here for in Atlanta for a reason. you couldn't do event event like this in let's say New York or Dallas, Atlanta's one of those places where you can it's a lot of entrepreneur, entrepreneurship
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
smoo: going on here. So
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: it was a lot of retaliation. I guess my thing is, I guess to your point again, you can't really you y'all came up, y'all growth y'all growth was established during COVID,
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: It was it was y'all was out before COVID, but y'all were really y'all really got stamped during COVID. A lot of these a lot of these guys got stamped during COVID. and I think even another conversation is it it is even a blessing to still be established six years later because a lot of these guys that they wasn't real. You know what I'm saying? A lot of that stuff wasn't real. So, to even be
Eric: Mm-hmm. Mm mm.
smoo: Here six years later, I think that's an accomplishment and I do think you gotta stay culturally rooted in that. I don't think you can move away from, what the culture, basically has helped y'all build.
Eric: Yeah. But see, I don't think that it's actually moving away from the culture. I think I think again for me in the way I took it is that, yo, you know what? Y'all s since y'all saying that, well, it ain't a black event then. You know what? Next year we want more, we want everybody there. We want Puerto Ricans, we want Asians, we want white people. We like, you know what? I think that's more so what it was.
smoo: But I think I think I think that's the that could be the downfall of him though. I do think that could truly be the downfall of him in in the his attitude towards the culture. You know what I'm saying? I don't necessarily agree with with how how people what they have to say about him, but I do think when you take a stance, for some reason people black people were boycott you harder than they boycott the targets, the Gucci's and all of those things, they gonna make you an example more than anything. So, I I d I
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Because you're easily accessible.
smoo: definitely think, this is a if
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: you if you don't fix that, it could be critical, in my opinion.
Eric: Yeah. Yeah, no, I I I I think I agree with that, but then I then there's another side to me to be like, yo, because the product that they putting out is actually good shit. these bo they had a they did a presentation where they do green jackets and it's like if you if you in a I think they stock club, I'm not quote stop me if I'm wrong, but if you're in their stock club and if you get over a hundred percent on the money that you put in you get a green jacket, you get prom you get promoted to a green jacket. And they had a hundred people on stage. You know what I mean? so
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: w they're getting results from people. You know what I mean? So I think that once the I think if the product good then, that's still that that still doesn't excuse any disrespect if there was some, 'cause I don't s I didn't see the I didn't see the full video. I just saw a little clip of it. But man, I don't know. I don't think you can cancel that all the way. I just I just don't. People once you can make people money
smoo: I don't know. I think that kinda go back to what we was just talking about. We was just talking about
Eric: Shit. I don't know.
smoo: the business side plus the the charismatic side. And Raside, he
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: he's been in a lot of situations where people are saying he's, arrogant, and it's it's
Eric: Mm-mm.
smoo: kinda coming back to bite him. I'm saying? So I think he just need to clean it up. He gotta clean it up,
Eric: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But see this come with being bigger too.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah,
smoo: It does. It
Wills On The Tank: yeah.
smoo: does.
Eric: the spotlight gonna be on you now, so quite naturally
Wills On The Tank: Most brutally.
Eric: you're gonna have more scrutiny. And I that's why he's like, man, them boys I've been watching the episode since COVID. I've been watching them since COVID.
smoo: Mm.
Eric: And dude be always been the same way, but th man, they do so much for black people in the community. they it's like they getting all these kids to come to these events and they doing so much for the kids. So it's hard for me to s as a As a consistent watcher of the show, it's hard for me to say nah, that ain't if it's hard for me to say that's
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I think.
Eric: the stance that they take and they I just think he upset, man. You see that? you you j you get upset after a while, you see black people tearing you down, you're gonna be like, Well fuck it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
smoo: Yeah, I feel you, but it saying it online is a different it's a different thing.
3eezy bih: Uh-huh. But but but but to be honest I I I think I got less bias opinion 'cause I ain't never watched him. This is just me doing the research on it. I don't know if dude's upset or not. I don't really I can't tell you from Adam Cat, I don't know who he is, but just from experience not experience. But just from like when you say that, you venturing off towards just the quote unquote black and move on, I can un if he is frustrated, I can understand it. Cause niggas talk down about Dr. Umar. And they be s niggers and he for niggas. And they they
Wills On The Tank: Hehehehe
3eezy bih: talk about him. They talk
Eric: And I know and I know Dr. Umar be wanting to say, man, fuck you niggas, man
3eezy bih: Man, I know I know he do. I know
Big Darrell: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: he do. Bro, Doc
Wills On The Tank: Hey here he here budget
3eezy bih: Doctor Umar.
smoo: Let him finish, let him finish, Dorea.
3eezy bih: Doctor Umar, my guy. I don't agree with everything he says, but I'm I'm I'm tuned in with Doctor Umar, especially when he on art. but yeah, even even for Stephen A. Smith, he do a lot of stuff and they still and they crucify him like he ain't like hate black people. Kevin Hart main joke was him hating black people, one of his jokes. And they call him drifters, they call him all that and
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: he'll he'll constantly do stuff for black folks. And and I'm not not saying that, doing stuff for black folks is a bad thing to do. I'm not I'm not saying that. That this can go for any culture. 'Cause what I'm basically saying is that no matter what you do, somebody gonna always talk. No matter which who you do it for, why you do it for, it's always gonna be some type of criticism. So if dude is frustrated I think that's a bad move. But if he ain't doing it out of frustration and he's seeing that as a way to venture off to get more, I don't see no problem with it. He's like, Hey, it's just not black, it's this but you also can't leave your core. Your core 'cause your core is what got you there. And they call it
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: a core for a reason 'cause with your body, right? That's your main that's your that's your that's your that's your frame. If you let that cord go, the limb's out. You know what I'm saying? So you know what I'm saying?
Eric: Yeah, talk talk that talk, dang. Talk that talk. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Start to have back
smoo: That boy been waiting to use that one. He've been waiting to use that one.
Eric: problems. You start to have hamstring
3eezy bih: No, I really didn't. That just that bit just came that bitch that came to mind. No cap though. But that it's it's your
Eric: problems. Freestyle.
smoo: Yeah, no, you're right. You're right.
3eezy bih: it's it's your core and if you so I
Eric: That's that's that's a good point. That's a good point.
3eezy bih: am with Schmoove in the way saying it online, it's kinda tough, but you are a business man, so that might be your your strategy somehow.
smoo: Yeah, I think that yeah, it's like it's like I it's like if you align with the right people, it's it's something they're making you saying fuck them niggas. Bitch, we finna take this to India. Fuck y'all
3eezy bih: Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You might got that you might got that Indian culture over there on your back, hey, hey
Big Darrell: It might got some investors d next year. Or that Saudi Arabian culture, African culture, yeah.
Eric: Yeah.
3eezy bih: Facts. You might they might put some money in your pocket, hey look, you
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: Yeah.
3eezy bih: say you have a problem with your people. Hey We gotta do it.
Eric: Yeah. Come on.
Wills On The Tank: And the first thing niggas gonna say is he sold out. That's the first thing that's gonna come out their mouth.
Eric: That is that that'll be the fo
3eezy bih: And that's so true and that's so true T Wheels. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Even with the doc that's what I'm talking about, even with the with the Doctor Umar's
Big Darrell: But to me, if you wanna be great, you gotta sell out, quote unquote.
3eezy bih: and Stephen Stephen A. Smiths. Stephen
Eric: Point Daryl.
3eezy bih: A. Smith got crude
Big Darrell: You can't just you can't just stay no black on business forever if you want to take over the fucking world. Hey, ma imagine if okay, imagine if Mac McDonald was black on. That shit wouldn't go nowhere. That shit wouldn't go past face.
3eezy bih: Well, hold on, correct
Eric: Yeah.
3eezy bih: that by being black owned. Just saying you just catering to black people, just one coach.
Big Darrell: No, if it was black owned, that's what I'm saying. You
smoo: catering to your core.
3eezy bih: Yeah.
Big Darrell: it's
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: like it's like it's like well we talk about the restaurants,
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I can see that.
Big Darrell: right? Why does it have to be just black owned?
3eezy bih: Okay, it's not like black people can
Big Darrell: Why can't it just be a a restaurant?
Wills On The Tank: See and and that's and that's my pr that's the only and I try to be very careful when I voice this opinion because I think people
smoo: No, no, no.
Wills On The Tank: should be
3eezy bih: No.
Wills On The Tank: pi it's okay to be proud to say I'm black owned. But I also I also look at the flip side if I if I go to an establishment and I just see white owned or it it'll make me like it'll make me feel like, ooh, should I even be here? you know what
Big Darrell: I don't wanna go to that motherfucker like
Eric: Ha ha ha.
3eezy bih: That that's that's not the same though.
Wills On The Tank: I mean? No,
Eric: Ha ha ha.
Big Darrell: It is though. Imagine if Walmart put white on in this motherfucker. you don't wanna go
3eezy bih: It's funny, no no it's nowhere near no, that's nowhere near the same.
Big Darrell: to Walmart, they motherfuckers. We know it's
Wills On The Tank: That's kinda how I see it though.
Big Darrell: we already know it's white owned. But why do you have to promote that?
3eezy bih: No. No, no, because bro, it y'all understand why it's called black owned, because we weren't able to own businesses. So that was our proud moment to say black owned. we was going through, different things that it was not allowed, redlining all types of stuff where you couldn't own black people wasn't owning businesses. And back even with the Tulsa days where they came and destroyed all those those businesses.
Big Darrell: Correct. Yeah.
3eezy bih: So I understand why you say black owned. But now by doing that, you do kinda, you separate yourself in a way. You do, you do, you do. But then and then you also got some
Wills On The Tank: That's what I that's how I feel. That's exactly how
Big Darrell: That that that that's what we say. If you want to be a global conglomerate.
3eezy bih: people that use that as an advertisement because at the end of the day ain't nothing one one race on. It just ain't gonna happen. you you gonna need some help of some white folks. it is what it is. So only
Big Darrell: And to me, it's like it's like when do we get past that label, right? when do we start becoming the global corporations, right? okay, Rock Nation, right? We know it's mostly owned by Jay-Z, but he don't say black owned record label. that that that don't sound right in in certain instances when you wanna be like a global conglomerate, essentially like
Eric: I think I think it's more so just what the goal is, I think black own to say black owned, that's okay. And I think that's I think that's needed for certain communities, you know what mean? And I think, if you a black owned business and you kinda wanna go further in life, That's bad. But if you kinda wanna be a bigger company,
3eezy bih: We want to branch out.
Eric: you want to branch out, then yeah, I
Wills On The Tank: It's Spanya.
Eric: I you want to expand. I think you gotta incorporate a an integrative strategy. sh even Jackie Robinson,
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: that nigga went to the major leagues.
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: Jackie Robinson left the Negro League and went to the MLB. You're like shit, it's
Wills On The Tank: And they see he sold out.
Eric: you know what I mean? And it's like, but
3eezy bih: Well let me let me
Big Darrell: So but like
Eric: S but that that's a that's a beautiful that's a beautiful topic because some people are gonna say he sold out, but then you got the other people like, damn, Jackie Robinson was the first black man,
Wills On The Tank: He took it further.
Eric: he took
3eezy bih: Naive.
Eric: it further. And I think, it to each his own. So you gotta you gotta live and die whatever decision you make.
3eezy bih: Can I ask you this though, Bill?
Big Darrell: And that's that's that's mainly the Malcolm X Martin Luther King debate. Is if do you stay do you stay all black
Eric: But see before Malcolm died,
Big Darrell: or do you do you integrate?
Eric: before Malcolm died, he was creating his own thing, his own thing with it ha and he he you he had white people in it. Well they were a part of it. so I think even him, he knew. And this is the most radical,
3eezy bih: Malcolm Make did Mal Malcolm Make did interviews with white people, dude. you still need a white eventually you need a white voice like it is.
Eric: Yeah. He was
Big Darrell: I I believe that. I I think you
Eric: t he was tearing they ass
Big Darrell: need every race.
Eric: up too. And you seen them interviews? boy, that nigga Malcolm X is Malcolm X is they that dude. Yeah, go ahead.
3eezy bih: I'm saying like I'm saying you still yeah, yeah. But I would say this though. So let me say that let me say this though. Y'all y'all
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I do yeah, I do. Very articulate.
3eezy bih: say black own. Well y'all y'all scrutinize people saying black on. Y'all don't say nothing when they say locally on. Y'all don't say shit. People don't have nothing to say about that?
Big Darrell: But but but that that's better than saying because
3eezy bih: How is it why is it better? That's what I'm saying. Why is it better?
Big Darrell: because when you say when you say something locally owned, it it essentially advertises that the food is grown locally. So it's gonna be a lot healthier. It's not going through a a big corporation, it's not going through a big factory, you don't know somebody's hand got chopped off. Normally locally means it's good, essentially. Right.
Wills On The Tank: Ray with pesticides or not?
3eezy bih: But that's what I'm saying. So why can't why why that same meaning can't be for black home? you you guys it is. It's the same because No, no, I'm saying 'cause locally on
Eric: That's that's not the same. You loc locally on
Big Darrell: 'Cause cause 'cause I'ma I'ma tell you why. That's like saying I I'ma tell you why. I'ma tell you why. That that that that that's like saying
3eezy bih: locally own what you're saying is what you're saying, Daryl, is true in a way, but what I'm saying though is is that not putting yourself in a box as well? if I'm a if I'm a if I'm a what's y'all what's y'all what's the famous not famous But what's your all-city grocery store name? I
smoo: Jurely.
3eezy bih: used to be Jitney Jonger in in Mississippi. Jerry Lee. Yeah. If they constantly
Big Darrell: Jerry Lees, Jerry Lees. Yep.
smoo: Very leave.
Wills On The Tank: Way leaves, Jerlies.
3eezy bih: if if Walmart come to them and say, hey, we want y'all to join our column government or big business, nigga
smoo: Hey, one of y'all niggas typing. One of y'all niggas typing. Who typing?
Eric: That's me, that's me, that's me.
3eezy bih: trying to get some information, ain't it? Nigga trying to find out. Chat, what's the difference between locally owned and black own? Hey D, this was
smoo: Yeah.
Eric: Nigga, hello. Hey, I'm finna hey, I'm finna take a picture. That's exactly what I put in my
3eezy bih: Hey No it no no Darr,
Big Darrell: think it's a big difference though. Cause like
3eezy bih: I'm not I'm not talking about the I'm not talking about Fag
smoo: Bill be cheating on the p
3eezy bih: cheating. Dara, I'm not
Big Darrell: Nah, nah, he our researcher
Eric: I gotta turn my I gotta I gotta put I gotta mute my shit, man.
Big Darrell: though. We need this. We
Wills On The Tank: He's an information man.
3eezy bih: There there I'm not I'm not
Big Darrell: need this. He's our researcher.
3eezy bih: talking about far as what you mean by far as the what actually goes on in the business. I'm just saying when y'all was talking about expanding. what would be the d what's the difference of somebody saying, Hey, well we're black owned, somebody say I'm locally on I'm talking about far as expansion or going for further. I'm not talking about the nuance of it, like what actually goes in. I'm talking about or
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, okay, okay.
smoo: Well I think I think the difference would be I'm pretty sure if you locally own your your whole premise is to to say we're not really trying to go further than than being local. we want this
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: to be homegrown. We don't want to expand. I don't think black black I don't think black own says that. I don't think black own
Big Darrell: Yeah, we wanted to be a small family oriented.
3eezy bih: So you don't think black people okay, so those you
smoo: says that. I think if niggas if you
Eric: Yeah, I think
smoo: give a nigga a billion dollars,
3eezy bih: Yeah, Leo.
Eric: He he going to Gucci. Hey
smoo: Hey, hey, and look,
Big Darrell: Bye.
smoo: and you tell the nigga to draw black hole, he gon drop black hole.
Big Darrell: Right, right.
Eric: Hey, and look that's it's crazy 'cause that's what chat said.
3eezy bih: I well, that's the alpha in here.
Eric: Chat GPT said
Big Darrell: Well what what did it say? What'd it say, Bill?
smoo: Ha ha.
Eric: it said locally locally it says if we're comfortable saying buy local because we want money circulating in our local community and it talks about why the saying buy black sometimes make people uncomfortable when the economic principle is similar. yeah, I think Smooth was saying, locally owned just says, yo, I'm this the dollar's gonna c is gonna circulate within the community. This is for the community. We ain't trying to g we ain't trying to be Walmart. We ain't trying to be Sam's Club. And I think Black Own just kinda says something totally different. So
Wills On The Tank: That that's
3eezy bih: Well what what what if black dogs say what what what
Wills On The Tank: that's that's a that's exact that's my thinking.
Big Darrell: And it's like a threat too though. say for
Eric: Mm.
Big Darrell: instance, if if if we go to a club, right? I'm gonna give you a perfect example. If it's a if it's a black club, you ain't gonna tune in to see no white people. You gonna see niggas you might see one white person and some Spanish, but but you know what I'm saying? people be scared.
smoo: Why you whispering? Why the fuck you why you whispering?
Eric: Shit. And they that ain't got white people around him. He got white people around. That's right.
3eezy bih: Got it. Got it. Get that white got that white man in his window back door. Y'all see him? Who that white man in your window back there, Darren?
Wills On The Tank: Okay.
smoo: Nigga, why you whispering?
Big Darrell: Yeah. No, no, no, no.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: I ain't know if I was too loud though. But but what I'm saying is, what I'm saying is it's like if you go to a black club,
3eezy bih: And the property is on home.
Big Darrell: right? You know what's gonna be in a black club. It's gonna be black people, right? When you go to a white club, like a like an Irish bar, it's gonna be white people. So it's like when you promote
Eric: Pick poor Robin Thieves.
Big Darrell: black owned business, that almost scares away other cultures.
Wills On The Tank: That that's that's all I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying.
Big Darrell: You're gonna scare away white people, you're gonna scare away Asians, you're gonna scare away Philippines, you're gonna scare away anybody. And it's almost like you asking
Eric: But see, I think I think
Wills On The Tank: And the goal is to get the money.
Big Darrell: for sympathy, please, Master, please, Master, donate to me because I'm black on.
Eric: But see, na nah, I don't think that's the goal. I I think I think I think what
Wills On The Tank: If you in business
Eric: it started out as, I think saying this is a black owned business and advertising it, I think that was only because we wanted you to say, yo, bro, you come and give you our business, it's safe here. You know what I mean? you welcome here. This is a black
3eezy bih: Yeah.
Eric: owned business. You're gonna be treated with not a second class citizen. yo, we treating you with,
Wills On The Tank: Right, right, right, right.
Eric: everybody get first class treatment. And I think,
3eezy bih: Say it right there.
Eric: and I think, no, no, no. I ain't even chat right there. I just kinda meet just talk hearing that what der a point. But I think I think that's more so what it's about. Because because you you
3eezy bih: We don't believe you, we need more people.
Big Darrell: Fancy.
Eric: think about
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
Eric: life and you he's like, Man, he them nigga pies. It's like how you know what I mean? you going to a black own business. You ain't gotta be like, yo, these are nigger pies, you know what I mean? You ain't gotta be treated like a f a first c a second class citizen. You know what I mean? And I think that's and I think that's what it's rooted in.
Big Darrell: Yeah, that one. But look, but look, but now let me ask you this, Bill. Imagine
Wills On The Tank: Ay, ay, ay.
3eezy bih: I do I I do believe that's what it was initial for that. Yeah.
Big Darrell: you go into a Mexican restaurant and they say Mexican home. That seems to be
Wills On The Tank: I it it to me, honestly.
Eric: You might as well because every time you walk in there ain't nothing but Mexicans.
smoo: Well nah, but but that that's the thing though, Bill. That's the thing though. It's it's it's already insinuated, you know what I'm saying? But but you don't gotta say it though.
Wills On The Tank: But that but that's okay. But it's but it's
Big Darrell: But but they don't have to say that. Right. And and look, everybody like like we said on Cinco
Eric: It's exactly exactly.
Wills On The Tank: Right, right, right,
Big Darrell: de Mayo, you got every culture
Wills On The Tank: right.
Big Darrell: that be at San Miguel's or any Mexican restaurant because it's not like only Mexicans can go here. When something like that, they don't have to say that. It's insinuated, right?
Wills On The Tank: Right.
Big Darrell: It's already applied, implied that.
3eezy bih: No, but hey, but this what I'm saying though there. This is what I'm saying though there. But let's like let's let let's not act like it not some history behind the why. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Let that's what I'm saying. that's why it happened.
Eric: It's it's so much history behind that.
Wills On The Tank: No definitely d it definitely
smoo: Right.
Big Darrell: It's it's it's definitely history.
3eezy bih: Now, if we saying the we went away from the intention the intentions of it, then okay, cool. But let's let's not act like we didn't have a reason of why we say black girl magic or black own. It's just It's a reason. You see what I'm saying?
Eric: Absolutely.
Wills On The Tank: No, definitely.
smoo: Right. But I think that but but the flip side to that is is that the white people be behind all this shit still. Just for me. Who y who y'all think owned just for me? Who you think owned just for me?
3eezy bih: Yeah, facts. Now I'm now I'm with you on that though. Now I'm with you on that one.
Big Darrell: And my my thing is, okay, black girl magic, that lets you know it's for black girls'
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: hair and only black or texture hair. That's cool. I'm cool with that.
smoo: Who y'all think was selling all them dashikis a few years ago?
Big Darrell: You feel me? Yeah.
Eric: Hmm.
Big Darrell: But but my thing is if you
Wills On The Tank: And it is funny.
Big Darrell: want to be a global business, right? say for instance, right? like Bill, right? You you you do your business, right? You don't say black on. only you don't have to say black on. Cause
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: he he's gonna go global. He wants all type of clients. He just don't want black clients. so it's the same thing.
Eric: Yeah, for sure.
Big Darrell: It's only the businesses that I don't know, are they just trying to appeal to black people? Cause that's not the case. It's not the case.
Wills On The Tank: They necessarily just I don't think they necessarily I think it's just more of a pride or I'm proud that we're that we're black on. I saw I I I see that aspect of it, but I just feel like how I would feel if I saw a place that said white on. I'd like to me, I'm automatically like, dang, should I even be here? you it I just feel separate.
Big Darrell: That that that that that's almost similar to whites
3eezy bih: But but T Wheel, but T Wheel, that's what I'm trying to tell you. It
Big Darrell: only. That's what it seemed like.
3eezy bih: used to say that.
Wills On The Tank: It's but but and and and that's okay if if it did because everybody got a choice they can sell to
3eezy bih: No
Wills On The Tank: who they want to sell or cater to who they want to cater to core audience but I'm just saying if the goal is if my goal is to get the money and I'm trying that mean I'm trying to get yeah I'm a c I'm gonna cater and I'm gonna cater to everybody. I'm gonna try to teach everybody as first class is first class, you know what I'm saying? So if the goal is to get the money, I just feel like my per se I always think about how I perceive things. So if if I walked in a place of business and it just said white owned or Asian owned or, I just almost feel like dang, it's separate it's it kinda it to me it has a level of separation. And to me,
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: the goal is to just get as much money as possible from everybody. So
smoo: Well speaking of money, how much money is enough money? That's the segue, fella.
Eric: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
3eezy bih: I know you don't, I'm a
Wills On The Tank: If if we
Big Darrell: I think I think I think
Wills On The Tank: if for me
Big Darrell: enough money to do what?
smoo: Much money is enough money.
Big Darrell: I I I think a million dollars
Eric: How much money is enough?
Big Darrell: lump sum, a million dollars lump sum is enough money to put you in a position to do what you wanna do. Now if you fuck it up, that's on you. But I I I believe anybody with a plan, a business
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: plan, a structured plan, a million dollar lump sum can get you what you wanna get in life.
Eric: Million dollars? i i if you
Wills On The Tank: Lump song just so long out.
Big Darrell: What song?
Eric: if you talk about enough money, enough money for what? If you trying to do i if you asking me for enough money, I want enough to go, I'm talking about I ain't gotta worry about money no more. That w that's what enough is. So for for that for me, man, give me fifty of them things.
Big Darrell: That's true, that's true.
smoo: Right, right, right. So what that fifty?
Eric: Give me fifty of give give me Curtis Jackson. Hey, when I well hey, hello, hello. Well when I say Curtis Jackson, n go ahead.
Wills On The Tank: Alfred
Big Darrell: But no no no no no no no no no that but hold on hold on bit bit that that defies the question. He say enough, not more than what's enough.
Eric: Enough 50 million. I ain't got 50 million
smoo: That's what Bill said.
Big Darrell: But see, but see that's more then, cause you ain't gotta worry about nothing.
Eric: is enough. Nigga, that's enough for me. I feel, I feel, right? I feel no no no seriously.
Big Darrell: Facts, facts, facts.
Eric: my investing, my whole thing is I think for me to just stop right now, I say, bro, if I can get when I get 10 million, that that's when I'm done. That's when I'm done like doing things for money.
Big Darrell: Uh-huh. Okay, okay. So so so that's enough. Okay.
Eric: That's for for me, ten million is my goal. When I get ten million,
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, so
Eric: I'm I you know what I mean? That's that's my goal. So that so I would say ten then.
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, okay. So what you say? What you say, Willio?
Wills On The Tank: for for me enough I would say to have enough passive income to take care of all my expenditures. whether there's there's bills, with how I live, to doing what I wanna do.
smoo: You gotta put a number on it. You gotta put a number on it though, Willio.
Wills On The Tank: So if I so if if I if I had right if we if we talking right now, if I had six grand and passive income where I just didn't have to do anything, that that's enough for me. I can make
smoo: So what is that what is that what does that look like total, total wise?
3eezy bih: You think
Eric: Six
3eezy bih: it put a number on the nigga?
Eric: grand times
Big Darrell: So, so so look, so that that's almost like a million, because
Eric: twelve.
Big Darrell: if you do a million dollars and you put in a bank account and you get four percent on that, or let's just say you get anywhere from four to ten percent, that's almost anywhere from forty to a hundred thousand a year.
smoo: But that's seventy two grand a year, so how how but
Wills On The Tank: It I'm talking about in straight passive income where it just hit it goes straight to my bills. just just passive income. That's if when I think about financial freedom, I think about Lip not having to go to a job if I don't want to. you
Eric: Yeah, yeah.
Wills On The Tank: know what I'm saying? it just
Big Darrell: Yes.
Wills On The Tank: having passive income.
Eric: So so Willio, if you had to say a dollar amount for that for the rest of your life, what would that number be? Not not even just n not even just not even
Wills On The Tank: A dollar amount. if if
Eric: just monthly, but a big lump song.
3eezy bih: Nigga say it but the nigga finally get enough.
Wills On The Tank: Man, if I if I could put a dollar
Big Darrell: Last night.
Wills On The Tank: amount if if I could just put a dollar amount, man, I'd be happy with a million a year in passive income. I'm really big on passive income. For real.
Eric: Yeah, you're a passive account.

Eric: Seventy million, seventy million. You get good get seventy million.

Big Darrell: I can do what I need to do. I can put in an investment account. I can give me some dividends on some stocks.
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: All I'm trying to get is 10% a year on that million dollars, $100,000 or $120,000, and make me $10,000 a month and I'm good. And just generate it. Just let my million dollars.
Wills On The Tank: You're good.
Eric: Straight. Yeah.
3eezy bih: Hey, hey, hey Darrell. I don't wonder we were don't wonder we forgot what you see.
Eric: Hey, hey, and look, ten million ten million over the next forty years is only two hundred and fifty thousand a year. That's I'm straight. I'm scrape.
smoo: Yeah, I'm Yeah.
3eezy bih: I only so
Big Darrell: But then, but then, but then think about this, Bill, if you put $10 million, and let's just say you earn 4% on that. What that is? That's $400,000?
Eric: Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: Well see, I I I ain't gonna

3eezy bih: lie though. No, talk about Toma. I think that's that's cheating though, Darryl. That's no
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: well he
Eric: He said I know.
smoo: said what what Dink what Dink's saying is you can't we not thinking about it from stock and dividend and where you're able to put
3eezy bih: Yay.
smoo: your money. If a nigga just gave you the money straight up, you can't put it in, you can't invest it in it. Yeah. I'm at I'm at seven I'm at seven to ten million regardless. If I seven to ten million
3eezy bih: And you ain't doing no work. Y'all did this last time. Like y'all put
Big Darrell: Nah, okay. So Well, it's gonna be mi it gonna be more than that then.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: for the rest of my life, I feel like I can get through with that. Yeah.
Eric: Gucci. Ten million, gimme ten. I'm going to sit down somewhere.
Big Darrell: 10 million for for the next 40 years, 250,000. I I'm going with 10 million then. If I can't do nothing like that, I gotta do 10 million.
smoo: I think I I think I can do that. I can got through hey look, I done got through thirty five of these holes. I didn't got through thirty-five of these holes without ten million. I think I can do good without just ten million.
Eric: Nigga, I got
3eezy bih: So so
Eric: through a few years, I got through a few years off 35,000. I got through a few years off 30. Nigga, hey, in them years before 35,000, I got through them years
smoo: Why? Why? Why? Why?
3eezy bih: Hey, no count, nigga, hey, nigga will make it
Big Darrell: Facts. Hey, hey, I got I got through a few years with some fucking refund checks too, man.
Eric: with with $2,000 every every every six months. So we straight. I'll make it work.
smoo: A pearl grant. Right. Right. Shit.
Big Darrell: Yeah no no tell my
Wills On The Tank: I I watched this lady on well it's not lista, it's this YouTube channel that I watch. It's called Alicia Invest. And she talks about a lot of times how a lot of people who become millionaires, they haven't, they don't even make six figures. It's is more of the mind behind it's more about the thinking or the the thinking behind the money. So, that that's interesting
Big Darrell: Thanks.
Wills On The Tank: too because you get a lot of people who actually make, a lot of money, but
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: they still be like paycheck to paycheck versus
smoo: For sure, for sure. It 'cause it it's you got it, you got it d William. You got it.
Wills On The Tank: That that goes back. just just real quick, just real quick, that goes back
Big Darrell: Right.
Wills On The Tank: to a long time ago when we was talking about how I was I was reading this book called A Psychology of Money, and this dude, he was a janitor,
Eric: Great book.
Wills On The Tank: but when he died, he had seven or eight million dollars. And people was like,
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: how did he get this money? he was just investing and but again, he he wasn't making a six figure salary. So these are things you gotta keep into consideration because you can you can be making hundreds of tho millions of dollars a year and still be a fool with it.
Big Darrell: L let's just say hundred thousand forty thousand. Let's say that.
3eezy bih: Well that
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3eezy bih: so so this that that was my point. That's why I was gonna I I was trying to catch before you say something. So the reason I said two billion, because all y'all puts y'all nuance in everything. Even from Smooth, where he was saying where I can do this, live this lifestyle, live this lifestyle. So the reason I said two billion is because I wanna be able to live outside of my means without worrying about living outside of my means. So two billion a
Eric: I ain't mad at it.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: ain't ain't nothing I can really fuck up. I ain't saying you still can't fuck up. What I'm just saying though with $2 billion of just giving to me, I can fuck up as many times as possible. With y'all like which y'all
Eric: I ain't mad at it.
3eezy bih: with y'all lifestyle the way Smooth talking about, you still budgeting. okay, I'm still here boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, you just said it. You said you No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. Then you
smoo: No fuck no.
Big Darrell: Shit, $25,000 a month? Yeah, I'm hauling.
Eric: Mm-mm.
smoo: Wow.
3eezy bih: No, then you tell me. So correct me if I'm wrong. If somebody gave you
smoo: I said if I could if I could live the way I'm living right now, right yeah.
3eezy bih: Right, right. So if
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
3eezy bih: you live the way you live, but I'm saying so if somebody give you seven million dollars, I still have the budget that and even with two B you still got budget, but I'm saying with the seven million dollars, you saying, All right, give me enough to live the lifestyle that I'm living now, right? That's what you're saying, right? So I said two billion because I wanna live outside of the means. And I think two So listen, listen, listen, listen. That's what I'm saying. I
Eric: Dink, what do you wanna do? Let me ask you that. Do you want a helicopter,
Wills On The Tank: Okay.
smoo: He's telling I'm budgeting.
Eric: nigga? This nigga wanna buy a helicopter. He wanna build it.
smoo: I'm like, shit, what what am I budgeting on? What the fuck am I eating?
3eezy bih: Okay, so I'm saying, but Bill, that's what I'm trying to tell you. I don't know, so I want that much to fuck you off. I'm gonna find
Big Darrell: But
3eezy bih: out with two Bill.
smoo: Man, nah, dang, I think I I I see what you saying, but see, bro, I think you can but l but listen though, like nigga,
Big Darrell: but but but but but Dink, that's more than enough, Dean. The question is what's enough, Dink? Not more than enough.
3eezy bih: I can find out with two bill.
smoo: it ain't it ain't it but
3eezy bih: Too much money ain't enough money.
smoo: no, but listen though, it ain't it ain't a piece of pussy you can't have with seven million dollars. It ain't nothing that you can't eat with seven
3eezy bih: I was ain't pussy though.
smoo: seven million dollars. It ain't nowhere you can't go with seven million dollars.
Big Darrell: Facts.
Eric: think I think I think once you start getting to a certain bag
3eezy bih: But but but that's what I'm that's what I'm saying though. That's what I'm saying
smoo: Maybe the amount
3eezy bih: though, Smooth.
smoo: the amount you want is is different from the amount I want, but shit Shit if I could if I could pay for Genesis,
3eezy bih: Hey, but that's what I'm saying though, Smokey.
Eric: I it ain't enough salads, I'ma eat.
smoo: if I could pay for Genesha and Melissa Ford two times a year, I'm straight.
3eezy bih: But that's what I'm saying
Big Darrell: But what I'm saying
3eezy bih: though, Smooth. That's what I'm saying. You don't know.
Big Darrell: is with 10 million, all I need is four percent. Put that bitch in the savings account. All I need is four hundred thousand a year.
smoo: See nigger.
3eezy bih: What I'm saying though, Smooth, is
Eric: That's great.
3eezy bih: you don't know until you live it. So I think two
Eric: I'd be walking I'd be walking around.
3eezy bih: I think two billion is enough of my buffer money. Is enough for me to fuck up a thousand million times and say, Yeah, it come back to reality.
Eric: Hey, you know why? You know what? I think for me, I say I'm gonna give you why my ten million is ten million. For me, my ten million is because the older I get, the less I want things. You know what I mean?
Big Darrell: Thanks.
Eric: I don't want anything. You know what I mean? Like I the
3eezy bih: I'm gonna say it was too smooth though.
Eric: Yeah, the older I get, the less
smoo: yeah.
Eric: I want. so I don't really want like I I I want a Chevelle. That's that's probably n that's probably seventy thousand. I'ma just go get it. You know what I mean? It's gonna be a nice car. I'ma give me a nice little crib. We me and Sarah probably go on trips and that's it. I probably go
Wills On The Tank: Right.
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: buy a crib next to Willie O so I can be around my niece and nephews all the time. But that's it. I don't I don't want nothing.
smoo: Right. And then that's what I'm saying. If a nigga
3eezy bih: You didn't mind to move
smoo: if a nigga wanna and if you and if a nigga and
3eezy bih: away from your stupid ass.
smoo: I'm not talking about you, Bill, but if a nigga was
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: paying for pussy, you gonna do that one twice a year?
Eric: Once twice you good. You know what I mean? Like you and
Wills On The Tank: Just like
Big Darrell: Hey, hey, dink
Wills On The Tank: Lord
Big Darrell: two billion dollar, he finna do that shit ahead and damn day.
Wills On The Tank: Diddy say in that song because you say

smoo: Anything could kill you. Broke can kill you too. Go talk to
3eezy bih: I but I'm
smoo: that nigga again.
3eezy bih: but the un the un the only reason I do say two billion the reason I say
Eric: That's true, Willie. That's a good point.
3eezy bih: two billion though in all honesty the reason I say two billion because I the reason I went I went past was because I didn't say a trillion, but I say two billion because No, no, no, hear me up. The reason I said two billion because it's like back in the day I probably would say it less, but now that I see that it is attainable, I'm not gonna get it. I'm not trying to get it, but I'm saying that I see that it is people that got it.
Eric: Trillion, yeah, a billion.
3eezy bih: And the percentage has r rise, I'm like, well, see, if they I if it seemed that it's they got it and it's attainable, see, I take it. That's the only reason I really would say two billion. I really don't need two billion, but since it seems like it's
Eric: Yeah. I ain't mad at it, Ding.
3eezy bih: attainable, see and it's given, yeah, throw it here.
Eric: I ain't I ain't mad at it, bro. I ain't I ain't even mad at it.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, maybe I
Big Darrell: I don't blame.
Wills On The Tank: ain't mad at it.
Big Darrell: Hey, hey, but
3eezy bih: I keep talking.
Big Darrell: look, look, if it's but how much you want,
3eezy bih: Once I get that two billion, I'm by.
Big Darrell: I'll take a trillion dollar shit. Hey, I don't blame but for
3eezy bih: Yeah, yeah, what I'm saying. So I just
Big Darrell: that answer, Dink.
Wills On The Tank: I think just having a good quality of life, man, just being able to take the trips you want, man it's
3eezy bih: Can you can you imagine two billion dollars, T Wheel having two billion dollars and buy all the bandanas
Wills On The Tank: I ca I can't though. See I'm gonna be honest with you, I can't.
3eezy bih: he wants? Man, go crazy
Eric: Hey, my
smoo: Maybe we play him
Wills On The Tank: I can't imagine to be yet.
smoo: bandana
Eric: huh?
smoo: tug of war around this bitch.
Eric: Yeah.
3eezy bih: With with the world. A billion people tied them bitches together.
smoo: The nigga be swinging through trees and see.
Wills On The Tank: It's just bowlers.
Eric: huh.
Wills On The Tank: Beefing so much them niggas. Sometimes niggas can get so money, they just rich and they just bored. I just yeah, I really be believing that sometimes man, these niggas just bored.
Big Darrell: But now, but now now William, let me ask you this. Do you think the rappers are as rich as they s they they portray to be?
Wills On The Tank: No, no, they don't. They I don't. Nowhere. I actually think I actually think some of us are doing better than them.
Big Darrell: I don't know, man. I think them nigga I I looked at a thing the other day, right? It said I don't know if I shared this to y'all.
3eezy bih: We just had that conversation yesterday. last week.
Big Darrell: I might have shared it to Smooth. It was like how much it it how many streams it takes to get a million dollars on each platform. I think Apple Music was like a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five million streams, and then Title was the same thing, and then Spotify was like 250 million to get to make a million dollars, right? But then you look at people like like Drake, right? He 100 million streams a fucking month on Spotify alone. And you looking at people like Future who probably doing 50 million and then other artists who doing 30 million. I'm like, shit, they probably making a good a good little chunk of change now. And they ain't
Wills On The Tank: yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Big Darrell: even counting show money.
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: Well, I think a lot of those
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: cats a
Wills On The Tank: Merch walkthroughs.
smoo: lot of those cats, they just a lot bro, a lot of these cats, they everybody get paid on the front end. you know what I'm saying? That's and I
Big Darrell: Right, you're right.
smoo: think me and Bill, we had this we had this conversation on the phone and we was talking about we was talking about money and I was telling him a lot of times like we we working from behind, in regards to
3eezy bih: Mm-hmm.
smoo: getting money, we in a deficit. You know what I'm saying? And a lot of these white folks they playing the long game, so Yeah, they'll give Future, 30 M's up front. They'll give Drake a hundred M's up front. they they playing
Big Darrell: Damn, you're right.
smoo: they playing a a whole nother game. You know what I'm saying? We only getting up front money, bro. So yeah, a lot of these Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, they they
Big Darrell: And that and that and they collecting that shit at the future dead, it's still streaming.
smoo: they'll give you the money. They'll give you the money. And that, I'm not trying to make this a conversation, but that's somebody like Boosie, These niggas they'll they'll they'll give you that money, but they playin' a whole different game than like what we playing, bro. that's just my personal opinion.
Wills On The Tank: Like that Michael Jackson game. Michael Michael Jackson,
Eric: Do.
Wills On The Tank: they they was trying to say before he died he was broke, but on paper he was actually rich because he owned so many people catalogs and it was according, just the history, he was he was fighting to not sell catalogs because, that that stuff would have transferred over to his kids. They would have been well, they are rich, but he he was just basically
Big Darrell: Mega Rid.
Wills On The Tank: playing a long game.
smoo: Yeah, and then you think about I think somebody like Ross, I think he he's very intelligent and understanding his name, his past music. You know what I'm saying? You hear him kinda try to low boy niggas in in a sense of when they talk about his music not being the same, he like what else do you niggas own? You know what I'm saying? And I think Rick Ross he probably ain't liquid rich, but I definitely think on paper, I think on
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: paper he he probably can go crazy. And I think when you when you go pay when you go crazy on paper, you able to do whatever. You know what saying? you able you able to Yeah, you able to leverage
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Right. Cause you could take loans out on shit and everything.
smoo: whatever to make it look like whatever. You know what I'm saying?
Wills On The Tank: Right.
Eric: Jail.
smoo: So
Eric: And that loan money tax free. Think about that.
smoo: Yeah, yeah, and you just keep you keep rinse and repeating
Big Darrell: At one percent.
smoo: that whole little process. That nigga probably got he probably got he probably got ten million in cash.
Wills On The Tank: Hey If I'm not mistaken, passive
Eric: Tax free.
Wills On The Tank: income is one of the most tax friendly type money.
smoo: Yeah, bro.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: Yeah. All the all them all
Big Darrell: That that's facts though. That's facts.
smoo: them houses he he got and that's he doing that for a reason.
Eric: Basically gotta drive two hours and get your blow job
smoo: Right. Right. Right.
Wills On The Tank: Ha ha ha.
smoo: Hey, hey, and look, that's a different game. That's a different game. Do you know how crazy it is for a nigga to Bro, do you know how crazy it is for a nigga to be
Big Darrell: That's a different game.
Eric: Hey it is. It's a silly dude, bruh.
Wills On The Tank: Drake silly, man.

3eezy bih: I knew that nigga
Wills On The Tank: Hey, it's the talent to do that, man. Smooth
Big Darrell: No, but that
Wills On The Tank: had put
3eezy bih: too.
Big Darrell: is a good segue though. From from from what's enough
Wills On The Tank: on a what's that talent show you put on Smooth back in the day?
3eezy bih: I know that nigga should
Big Darrell: money, from what's enough money to when is enough clubbing. That's a good segue.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: yeah, yeah, yeah.
3eezy bih: Hold on, Darren.
smoo: Yeah.
3eezy bih: Didn't nobody vote your ass either, nigga. Hey, I'm second in line, nigga. Yo, nigga, yo, yo. Yo, we know what you doing, Daryl.
Big Darrell: I was trying to figure out so deep, so deep, so deep, so deep. Deep,
Eric: He tried hey, he trying to audition for the job on the low. He hey, you ain't we done figured you out, bruh.
Big Darrell: deep, deep. So what's the oldest then? I don't think it's no age. I think you can club for whenever. I just think it's the type of club you go to.
Wills On The Tank: There you go, there go.
3eezy bih: my rebuttal today, I think that that's true. That's true. But I think it is a point of of I think everything is always based off what you're doing for yourself. for instance, 'cause I ain't nothing wrong with leisure. I think the problem what happened, one one one time I got into it with Alexis, my wife, and she was like, You always on the game. w w like you on the gang, what are you doing? What are you doing? And I brought I brought up my IT shit and shit that I do bring home to the crib. And I
Big Darrell: Mm-hmm.
3eezy bih: and so I was like, bro, don't worry about me if I'm doing this and we doing this. If that I I'm I'm trying to say something without sound like Branco.
smoo: It sounds like you get trying to bring an argument to the pod and vent.
3eezy bih: No, I ain't trying. I ain't trying well alright, put it like this. I I got you, Bill. Hey, what what's that what's
Eric: Hey, hey, hey J J J hit me up after the pod, bro. We get it out. I gotcha.
smoo: Ha ha.
3eezy bih: that connect counseling number one eight hundred number?
Eric: My Connect Counseling.net, holler at your boy.
3eezy bih: No, but I just think it's like I think it's also about just I think you can do whatever you wanna do, it's just not frowned upon if you actually doing something, if that makes sense. You see what I'm saying? ain't nothing wrong with leisure, but if you somebody in the club but then ain't got nothing else going for you, damn dude, why you wasting your time? But then if you somebody that's doing pretty good in life but in the club ain't nobody gonna bat a eye. It's like, shit, you what I'm saying? It's just
smoo: Mm, I see what you're saying. I see what you say.
3eezy bih: So an athlete, he can do something wrong, but if he really good, it's like what would you say?
smoo: Yeah, I I told my I kinda told my brothers something dissimilar fifteen years ago. I was like, bro, ain't nothing wrong with smoking weed if you if you doing something with your life. You know what I'm saying?
3eezy bih: very.
smoo: nigga, if you ain't doing nothing with your life, then smoking weed is a problem. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
3eezy bih: problem. it's hindrance. Something ain't it ain't mixing.
Eric: Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. Priorities at that point.
3eezy bih: You buy you got thirty you got forty, fifty thousand pair of shoes, but you know what I'm saying, but your house ain't matching it or your income ain't matching it, like what are you doing? But if you got the income
smoo: Right. But but but I guess the caveat to that would be like shit, man, maybe, maybe somebody, hey, they might have the the things might not be in order, but shit, this is this is they they they place a relief. You know what I'm saying? maybe they like the club. So
Eric: Yeah.
3eezy bih: Well I think that's the problem. I think you relieve I think you're relieving too much. You don't need that much.
Eric: But the thing is, it's like like bro, some people can say the same thing for I don't know, gym and working out. It's like, bro, you in the you in you in the gym
smoo: Yeah.
Eric: at eight o'clo eight o'c eight at night when you should be coming up with a plan or something. do something different with your life right now. I think all
smoo: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Eric: of it is relative, bro. So, well, it just looks bad. It
3eezy bih: Well that but that's what I was saying though.
Eric: looks bad where you getting Yeah.
smoo: That's what that is what Dink was saying. That is what he was saying.
3eezy bih: Yeah, I think it's a it's a balance. if a nigga got eight pack abs, but he ain't it's like, hold on, bro, you could have been using that energy to study this, this and that. It's it it's
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: Yeah, for sure.
3eezy bih: it's it's it's definitely balanced. So I don't think it's no age limit to anything. You do what you wanna do, but I do think at a certain age it is a p s perspective that, others are gonna have on you, whether you care or don't.
