you would want to answer it's
pointless too it's pointless to answer
bro bro I've been selling records right

just talking about I've been filming
I've been selling records without anyone
knowing anything about me
and also also just to let you know make
you like I don't know

this is not it's not an interview really
because in reality one day I I wouldn't
want to sit down with you yeah we can do
that on some Russians but I want you to
be comfortable I'm fine I knew my whole
career technically of course of course
technically technicality like I knew my
whole career
I know him from got them the world
listen to some real as much hate as
you got for that you probably got
50 more on top of 100 Love on that
because you understand you literally
broke down some that you had to
figure out on your own in a language
that we all can understand no matter if
it was black white anything you're right
I'm not gonna lie you really made it
like that was you was ahead of your time
with that that was crazy hey I asked
another one to say
that was the young news yo last
thing I want to say one time I promise
you me and Uzi I don't even know why I
was he got into it back and forth when I
was so hurt in the DMS no we were going
it was like in the public I was hurt
what happened to remind me I don't lie
about it it probably was somewhere like
academics it was something with cheesy
like like Lake was definitely involved
yeah yeah I know what you're talking
about and and I ain't gonna lie to you
that hurt me that that hurt my
heart cause I'm like yo damn I'm a
little deal with a who like I I
genuinely love and I love his music so
much but also I got to do like my job
and my thing I'm sorry about that no no
no no no you're gonna apologize because
hey let me tell you let me tell you I'm
gonna apologize because I'm at the point
now to to realize I've tweaked out a bunch
bunch
that's why I'm glad maybe you could have
conversations because me who have had
conversations about your act miss that
blah blah cool whatever but early on
when nobody everybody think their their
voice ain't being heard I tweaked
out a bunch of stuff so you'll you'll
never gotta apologize you know I mean
we live life we sitting here
yo yo
I told these coming over
here I said yo when I saw this Uzi
before me he was at terminal five yeah
I promise you could do the garden
you know I'm still doing the same
too not to listen I'm still today I
perform like remember that man that day
when you was there I performed a song
that never came out yeah no I'm still
1600. and I still remember that I
know it's the same today I
performed the song that I
made last night hold on but you're
you wouldn't do terminal five
again I'm so nasty I will do terminal
five things but you know what's crazy
nah you don't have to do terminal five
three weeks in a row and that's fire but
listen a terminal five show still would
be turn way more than a big ass show and
I'll now and I missed those days that's
what's crazy because I've been thinking
about like don't get me wrong shows
be lit I'll be turnt and all that like
it is what it is but like I miss those
little shoes those little shows was like
we'll make you happy these days what
the most thing that probably made me
happy in real life though probably like
not even on no funny I'm not even
being able to just do whatever like not
do whatever I want but being able to like
like
have consistency in anything that I do
and not just consistently in music like
that's like the easiest like this and I
don't even have consistency in music but
like we we gotta work right now we gotta
work we'll get that because I got but yo
Uzi five you know what made me happy you
think I'm sleeping in the
coughing every night they do
they give me they do things I got a big
ass bed Rick Owens being like what I'm
saying damn is technically it's a coffee
technically it's a coffee 100
000 over and when you say over super
over coffin but like
think like I don't know what the hell
they think about me man they think about
me so much I can't even
imagine or fabulous to think about it no
I told this thing I'm like yo so this
shows up to yo I'm gonna lie to
you it's my first time they put me on a
festival they say y'all come do it why
the yo it was that rude
yo I'm on the video
it's playing you're on stage and then
asking you all these questions and
why you did that
for one moment you should have been a
at that moment and walked the
off and came over there hang around nah
because because yo they pay like I know
yeah I know I know I know you got the
Bang Bang
they're like yo hey come do this I
ain't even know I'm like oh it's
like yo you don't mean thinking about
that type of with you're too big at
bro you're probably like headlining so
you don't have to care about it it's not
about Karen though you just makes it
like faces right well I didn't give a right
right
I care more than I ever cared in my life
I always paid attention but
but
I'm like when you don't fit one back
then right imagine I'm paying attention
right pay attention to everybody and I
like really don't like
I don't give a
he's like when you don't give a
it's something that's really pressing
against your heart that make you don't
give a which means you really give a
a right
right
you know what I'm saying
you get what I'm saying
like it's really something that's if you
want to take you like to do yeah I know
it's on the oh Jerome just came here I'm
tweaking thugs around bring up a concert
my bad another ass on the way not bad um
um
a a mother always remember
that act a that really
don't give a really gives a
it's something on their heart that's
damaging they soul that make them say
that they not give a they're trying
to protect the energy
oh exactly it's okay let y'all protect
their energy because yeah exactly
they're trying to protect the energy and
they give a before and someone hurt
them and then each other they try to
hide it the money so if I was to put out
a trash album or a good album it would
make the same amount of money but
it's deeper than the money at this point
I made the money you're in Hampton
before it's deeper exactly it's deeper
than the money bro like deeper than the
money like like how many times you don't
care about the money
like you can always care about the money
but hey people tell me to talk about you
the conversations is not is Uzi whatever
whatever it's it's it's it's a it's a
very select conversation is Uzi still
him what is him the most influential
in the culture the most talented
the who's dropping songs that is
just I'm still trying
that's why it's not even about the music
being all the way 100 good I'm trying
I'm still trying
I'm trying
I I never stopped trying even when y'all
think I'm not doing I'm trying
behind the scenes and two it sounds good
enough for me to present it to y'all I'm
trying I've been trying the whole time
I've never not been trying
I'll tell you we don't like a scientist
don't go overnight like on the movies
it's like Robert Williams to make
flubber the whole damn movie he took the
whole movie to make it right
you know a movie two hours but a movie
is really like a of the year and not two
in two hours it took him the whole movie
to make flubber
to be right Flubber wasn't right he's
putting that on my
basketball shoes and it was flying
in the air and went right into the end
and it still wasn't right he had to
adapt to it hey I'm gonna be honest yeah
I honestly be thinking that
the pressure get to you it will always
get to you though there's no pressure
when you experience pressure though it's
no pressure when my they're
expecting the greatest from you and
that's on them
because guess what
my your little Uzi vert my
they expect you to be
it juice rolls past it's you
that's it it's you there is no
comparison cardi got his Lane but it's
just you do his thing yeah it's Carly
then it's you so they all look at you
they say I think a cardi kind of like he
kind of like cardi made that lane like
like like
cardi made that lane yo Carter's so good
at that nobody else can do it
I'm being real you get what I'm saying
like he closed it off like like that's
that road that's his personal role to
his personal Mansion like nobody can go
down that road because if they try it's
just like
I ain't gonna lie
it's amazing how he did that but in
reality here's the thing though say it
everybody knows it's you and cardi
that's a fact
I've talked to your peers I won't
name names because
your own peers who is when I mean
peers we're not talking about these
things like they know
cardi you yeah
it's really y'all and in the sense of
okay cardi knew his thing but we learned
so much from each other and like and
this is it's not even putting his head
yeah against each other it's like
everybody's looking at both y'all
and and it got to be listen you don't
never put let me tell you something too
before you finish but no one could never put
put
a person like that's like you putting a
person from my block like a guy from
1600 against me or like like like not
even against me that's like you putting
a person like trying to compare a person
from me and my black life
we have similarities because we grew up together
together
but and we we might wear the same
clothes we might talk the same we might
say the same things we might say the
same things as songs we might use the
same ad-libs but
we are two different people at the end
of the day and we all that's why me and
him was always like oh to this day like
don't you see like when all these guys
be like
especially rappers because being a
rapper is a competitive sport really and
it's not even a sport we're not like
we're the bare minimum of athletic every
rapper even if they think they're good
they're still the bare minimum of a
man's athleticy now I see I think you're
a little athletic a little bit but like
I'm not athletic you know what I mean
like a little bit I'm definitely
athletic but
let me explain something to you like
imagine being around like like just as
much as cardi was around me I was around him
him
and what I mean is this is a 50 50
thing which makes a hundred percent
it's a reason why people to this day right
right
talk about me and my me and my brother
it's the reason why like we've been
around longer like come on bro don't get
me wrong it's other that
was out like
like for instance right right
I don't even talk to the goddamn loyalty
every day but
but
I commend him for everything that he do
like for his artistry
for his
his writing and lyrical ability his beat
making ability
his things that he put on the song like
like he does a lot of stuff behind the
scenes his ability his ability to still
be around and be himself
cause I knew him
from the beginning
like like we still we used to hang out
all the time like my first house in
Atlanta when I first like started like
remember I told you I live with Canada
my first house was so small my first
house was probably like
1100 a month but it was so small though
man yeah
it was so small though it wasn't even
big it was a great area to be in it was
like the perfect area it wasn't even nice
nice
it wasn't even nice like 1100 a month it
wasn't even nice it wasn't even that
fire is this
2000 almost going into almost going into 2017.
2017.
before the Avalanche happened yes I'm
always singing the Avalanche okay cool
man like man yeah like me and yada used
to be together all the time like
I can remember something that he don't
remember I remember the first time I saw
him in person he was in a mall in Linux
mall and I was in Lenox Mall and I was
going up on the elevator I'm not the
elevator that escalator and I already
kind of had like a name and it was by
the food court area and I remember there
was a bunch of them and I'm missing
Lennox we didn't meet but I it's so
crazy because like I was just playing it
cool going I was with Canon and we was
going up there yeah the escalator and I
remember he was in the food court with
all his friends and I remember the first
time like they was looking at me they
knew it was me and because like I
was kind of like like I was getting
there and I mean when y'all like
when y'all used to First pull up on me
so I was just like yeah he is like and
like you got to respect it because like
he even with the he doing now like
like
it's it's kind of like it's kind of
crazy I'm gonna be honest it's kind of
crazy like it's kind of it's kind of
crazy you're my opinion on it listen you
know you know say anything you want to
say no no I'll give you my opinion and I
love you say it
let me say this I've thought this has
been the two horse race
well the credit came to quote SoundCloud
no it's just like now he did he he he
had a sneaky Knight in it though you're
right he's the sneaker I agree you hear
me me and cardi is like the I
thought it was just you and Carter
I know this though I studied this
he's the sneaky Knight
listen me and Cartier's doing this
carty is being influential selling all
these shows going across the world doing
the biggest in the world me I'm
making these big ass hit songs
and that's a like him that
that
is really
one of the ones I'm just being real like
I'm just being a hush you can't even lie
about it like no he is yes hold on I'm
gonna be honest
so and and me Yadi like we've talked
about yachty's a great human being he's
cool as I like to say he's a great
human being he see I'm not though
that's the thing what do you mean
I'm an everyone knows that too I
think that I'm a real and he
knows that he's like he's out he's a
nice guy he's nice as like I ain't
gonna lie anytime being an he's
smart as and he like he definitely
didn't get with you because he's
definitely like he used to be just both
y'all though yeah like he's definitely a
troll like he's definitely not he's
definitely on point like he's definitely
a troll he knows everything that's going
on but I'm an so like why
actually I'm not an I know
you're not an I used to be so
people still judge me off of like you're
so this is what I said I said anytime I
still jump back I'll I'll talk to like
I'm not saying like like yachty but I'll
talk to someone and be like hey what's
up how's your day it never like
you being smart I'm like I
really actually today
but like it's definitely like like you
understand how long have you been how
long have he have he been around
who yeah yeah
that's what I'm trying to tell you but
he still ain't even going nowhere
he's definitely a that beat the the like
the like
the wash allegations oh no no he beat
the out of it yo on his own way
yeah this is hold on this is why
by the way everybody believes I still
want to get you I just want to get you
on my podcast these questions I got you
because I actually think
and I love Yadi like let me tell you
this there's been moments and I learned
this as a blogger
if I report right now yo little Uzi got
arrested he did this whatever whatever yeah
yeah
yeah it might be the weakest or the
lowest moment for you but everybody's
coming to my blog for sure what I
learned is that when you have a name
include me
it's the same thing that happens to you
so I've had low moments too we all have
and when I have those low moments when
everybody's kicking like act
whatever whatever
it's a few whoever
one is 21 Savage you know
yachty always called me like yo listen I
know they all getting at you and I ain't
gonna lie you be on so you
know he don't be always for like I
know it's like you'll be on some
but I was just trying to make sure
you're good yeah
and I always took that as something so I
told it because you guys understand that
you like as much as as much as many
people me too like as much as many
people hate you
it could be a bunch of nobodies that
hate you and I'm not calling nobody's
nobodies because nobody's be the ones
with the biggest opinions but it'd be a
bunch of no bodies that hate you and it
be the people that matter
that really love you
and you always got to take that in
consideration because the people that
matter is the reason that they matter
and that's the reason why they love you
because they know that you matter it was
a learning experience for me because
when you're a blogger I'm like yo all
right cool oh we got this story about
Uzi I'll just set his entire world
Ablaze let him do it it was when people
realized to say Hey listen look you need
to feel how people feel when everybody's
coming at you know what I realized
something else too
like remember when I explained to you
like it's our job like you know how we
bring up the when people say like
because it'll be a that'd
be like Uzi get with God and then I'll
drop a song you're like
damn and it's just like yeah like like
why are y'all even bringing up religion
religion is just like why are you
bringing like we don't like what they
say don't bring up religion a woman's
age yeah yes I didn't even bring you
like like I don't like
but like it's like that's what I'm
saying it's your job so if you was to
put out a
report of me getting in trouble with the
cops or me doing something or me getting
I felt the times you've hated me and I'm
like yo no damn I love him but like
I gotta do this but he probably like yo
damn this but I do know
there's times we communicate like we're
gonna be able to send it I hated you but
I hated you because like
I you got to start off with yourself
like anybody that I ever like had a
problem with or anything
because you can't have a problem with a
person for no reason
it's always a cause and effect right
so anything that I did it had to be a
cause so it's like okay so if I did
something you covered the story I
shouldn't have did it
because for real for real you will cover
a story of me getting in trouble
and then three days later Uzi just
dropped the song it's the biggest song
so it's just like it's not personal
not this personal not this personal
if you take personal
there's some that's personal in
this world because it's deeper than like rap
rap
but with me
the rat game is my Safe Haven so
anything that I have yes the rap game is
my safety I'm from Philadelphia
I know you're from Philly but it's the
reason I talk how I talk is the reason I
act I act it's the reason I look how I look
look
because I'm really from like don't get
me wrong people from everywhere like but
I'm from Philadelphia
and it's crazy out there and everyone
knows it's crazy there's crazy other
places too we're not the only place in
in America but it's crazy out there
let's be a player Philly right now is
the it's the highest yes it's a it's a
craziest murder rate in the United
States so you think I want to go there
you want to save this for y'all no no I
really want to have a full conversation
with you man we can you wanna hear some
music no that's what I'm trying to say
because I'm here to hear the music I
don't know because honestly even hearing
everything you have going on man I got
so much opinions about it just like
like bro
even when you say say what you just said
I'm like dog
I was supposed to go to that
which I I didn't I didn't get to go to
the funeral but I know you were there
when it came to X
yeah I went I just died I took my homies
there Jews died bro do you realize that
when it comes to like people who love
music and like that like my like
like
what you representing you being here um it's
it's
it's more than just music
it's surreal yeah
yeah
I mean that's what life is at this is
life no I I I get it but but it's like
not always to everybody so real quick
it's a real quick
every story that you didn't cover
every accomplishment you did in
your life you're probably like the most
successful person for your family me too
100 me too I'm telling you me too it
used to be my cousin my cousin got like
these crazy doctor's degrees and
like that's still important though
because that takes a lot but
but
and my little sister my little sister is
very important in my family too my real
little sister with my blood little
sister like she's like important like
she's like
in like a
what's that called like a like
like
I don't know where she is like one of
them Kappa and she do
all that like and I ain't
downplaying it it's like some I
never could do in my life like she's
like studying in school she graduated
she's going back to get like like my
sister is like the smart one of their family
family
but like
it's life bro like we I make all these
songs you do all these covers just
imagine if the world blew up tomorrow
nothing is on record because we're the
only people that's like it's not like
like okay we we believe in what we
believe in but it's like
technically like bro it's ever like I'm
not saying it's not that now
saying it's not like that now cause come
on bro like
like I know it's like some other
but bro if the world blew up today
we not not on the world this should be
over with like it's like it's nothing
record everything that we record she's
recording right now everything that's
recorded is disintegrated go on
and this would start over like
that's why I always tell people I'd be
like we know about all this music right
from life
YouTube and all these records and
but what about all the great artists
that we never found out about that got
lost I always say that like it's
probably like bro you not me songs
that's like the greatest songs in
history that probably already was me and
that got lost
like the greatest songs ever like come
on bro
ain't that many drugs in the world that
make these make these
great ass songs I've been out in our
history like come on bro it's so much
that's like not recorded there's so
many great people that's like
not set in stone or on wax that like
just disintegrated in time it was the
greatest in the world like
that could happen it's like no one
knows nothing like we just here at the
end of the day that's why I think people
cherish you
just here
let me tell you this you know man I
can't even mention I mean
like X was a who I used to talk to
every day foreign
you know
him and Kodak is
kind of the same you know why tell
because I really pay attention kind of
the same they like
they like
they like make different music and they
cut from different clubs but
they the type right that don't
even need a mic they can record a song
when they phone and it's so raw and so
natural they all need all the that
we need
they so raw so natural that they just
good like that's why that's why X was so
good like he was so good there's so many
songs that don't know that he
didn't even record in the studio on a
mic yeah he like his record on his phone
yeah and it's like he was they good
that's how Kodak is they good like they
just like they're Raw Talent some about
Florida has that it's something about
like floor like there's something about
that that they just so raw like they can
just do anything like and not anything
in the sense of like it don't make sense
but they can like work with what they got
got
and it's just so good that's how it is
though I don't know why I study
everybody so good there's a moment that
I used to think about you and I was just
like man we lost X we lost
Jews um dog's gonna die
I don't know you wanna be honest ly
ly
I didn't know I didn't know I didn't
know like I was looking at and I'm
I'm gonna like like I I think people
like me who who genuinely love you your
fans right I don't know
I don't have a I don't have an answer
me neither because Anything could happen
but the reason I haven't answered that
because I don't know what it feel like
to like die
like I don't know like anything could
happen bro like God forbid like I always
say that too I always say
as much but I always say God forbid
every day I could be walking down the
street and Anything Could Happen I'm
gonna throw a penny off the
highest building in the world in the
to go through my head like
anything could happen like nobody don't
know nothing Anything could happen like
this is what happened like as long as I
did what I did so far I did more than
what I ever thought I'd do so than them
guys they did more than everything
anything they ever thought they did so
like I understand they Journey probably
was already like
like now I look at it like their Journey
was probably already like fulfilled and
in order for their journey to be like as
great as it was or maybe it was a time
maybe it was maybe it was but maybe it
was a time because maybe
they would have kept making music and it
would have tarnished their creativity
you never know because we just judged
them off it was here
you know what I'm saying good
good
wow no you're right [Music]
no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no what's that gives
