00:37:34: remember your whole life man.
00:37:35: Right.
00:37:35: Facts.
00:37:39: I have a few mixed apary questions and we've been talking... ...I always ask the same question for all my guests on this show.
00:37:51: so xp the marksman tell me who is your all-time favorite DJ.
00:37:56: man my all time favorite dj that's a good one.
00:38:01: i never got asked them for it.
00:38:03: my all times favorite dji.
00:38:07: fuck um
00:38:08: you can give him your top three if you prefer.
00:38:11: okay uh i want to say dj arithmetic.
00:38:17: that's my dream.
00:38:18: I like um crazy with it.
00:38:23: I wanna say these styles as well from the beat junkies.
00:38:28: That feels crazy with it, growing up listening to you guys and seeing this guy's kill shit.
00:38:33: And then ya know i gotta give it up to DJ Kool Herc because without DJ kool herc man they really wouldn't be.
00:38:41: what we call right now is hip hop or y'know culture.
00:38:45: so... As much as I didn't grow up listening a cool herc but got my hats off too.
00:38:49: But yeah man, I think the LA beat junkie coalition and you know DJ squad they have there is one of most elite.
00:39:03: You got other elite DJ squads around the world.
00:39:10: but i feel like me growing up in LA being a part that seeing these people on TV hearing their music before it even began That's what kind of you know, it's leading me to You know saying these guys because I feel like they've set the tone for a lot of The infrastructure for the DJing shit.
00:39:35: They have a school.
00:39:36: There are teachers too so It took them till their next level with them and there were great individuals too.
00:39:42: So i gotta say those three guys right
00:39:45: there Yeah shout out to the whole G, the pioneers.
00:39:48: That's something that a lot of artists should do, especially young ones is study the heart of hip-hop and not only hip hop but music in general.
00:40:00: Don't be afraid to open books you know.
00:40:03: look up online now we have every day.
00:40:05: even AI can help with your story of Hip Hop.
00:40:09: You just ask AI like hey
00:40:10: how did this happen?
00:40:13: or How Did
00:40:17: This?
00:40:17: Yeah, and I have another mixtape edit question for you.
00:40:20: I think i know the answer to this one.
00:40:23: Do You Miss The Mixtape Format?
00:40:27: Oh man!
00:40:27: I do bro..I remember...you know like I said I'm from the west coast bro.
00:40:32: so Like I would Have To Go You Know To Like Certain Areas To Pick Up Like A DJ Clue Mixtape Or Like a DJ Dua Mix Tape.
00:40:43: And This Is How Pretty Much The kids on the West Coast would get like what's hot, but that's not on the radio.
00:40:50: You know what I mean?
00:40:51: Like...I miss the soundbombing mixtapes.
00:40:57: I miss underground airplay with Mark Echo and shit when he... So i missed that format for sure man!
00:41:06: I don't why DJs aren't doing it anymore because we have Spotify's and different shit like that, you know?
00:41:16: I guess we've got radio shows.
00:41:19: Mostly because of copyright issues.
00:41:22: Oh yeah!
00:41:23: Well thats shit.
00:41:24: That too right.
00:41:25: So if even try to upload a mix or something like that Fools will hit your shit with the flag.
00:41:30: You don't own this music.
00:41:32: Yeah i get it.
00:41:34: And what made that era more special was We didn't have all these extra shits.
00:41:40: The only way to get those tapes is on a CD or like, a tape.
00:41:45: You know there wasn't MP-III and shit so you had to be around where you could get that sh**t y'know?
00:41:51: So yeah it was...it was a lot..yeah man I missed that s**t!
00:41:56: I miss listening into just a culmination of what i think a DJ....you know because when its insight in what a DJ thinks is hot You know what I'm saying?
00:42:11: And he does his own digging and he does, his on tape.
00:42:14: And like shares it with everybody.
00:42:16: so ultimately its a DJ's album.
00:42:19: you know It is like the DJ creating his own intimate albums but sharing them to others People wanting to be attached to it hearing whats hot whats not.
00:42:31: But yeah all that shit out of window dog.
00:42:33: Like you said you get hit with copyright.
00:42:36: shit This & That.
00:42:38: So just It kills that whole game dog, you know?
00:42:45: Unfortunately.
00:42:46: Yeah and if you want to use industry beats You're gonna have problems with copyright.
00:42:51: I've tried to put mixtapes on Spotify.
00:42:54: Didn't work out.
00:42:55: so be smart about it.
00:42:58: Use your website maybe Your home
00:43:01: platform or whatever.
00:43:04: But even then its like hard to create traction of letting people know, hey I'm gonna have mixed tapes on my website.
00:43:13: Go check it out but everybody's like just one platform and they're all in fucking Spotify, MixCloud or whatever to give...I guess that where we are headed though right?
00:43:27: Towards more independent.
00:43:30: you can only catch my music here Or get my shit vinyl.
00:43:37: it isn't going to be on the platform.
00:43:39: so like if you can create that lane for yourself I guess, It'll work.
00:43:43: You know?
00:43:43: It will works in your advantage at the end of day.
00:43:46: Yeah
00:43:47: i see a lot of artists every day The recent ones they have seen with K Reno from Texas.
00:43:54: He dropped his album A few weeks ago If I'm not mistaken, then he released it on his own website first before putting you know platforms and all that.
00:44:03: He told people this is the one place where you can get an album And if your loyal
00:44:08: fans
00:44:09: well You have a chance they might just go to your website and give you their direction That you need.
00:44:15: Yeah for sure!
00:44:16: You know what man?
00:44:17: I feel like...I did that in the past.
00:44:21: Um..you know What i would do was be like yo Like im dropping out of my website First And I'm also going to add an extra track that you won't be able to get if you only stream it.
00:44:33: So by even the extract, but... ...I found for myself at least people were going on my website.
00:44:42: It was a couple of people actually and they bought it off me But they had YouTube channels.
00:44:47: so they grabbed my shit and then threw it on YouTube.
00:44:52: People in way kind of cut That whole shit out, you know because now they're using that whole exclusivity Shit to their advantage.
00:45:03: So now this ain't.
00:45:04: hey I'm hosting XP's exclusive album on my YouTube and then You hit these fools up your like a man?
00:45:12: That's my shit, you don't can take it down And they won't you know.
00:45:15: They don't think about.
00:45:15: yeah, you got bootlegged.
00:45:18: Yeah, I mean digitally fucking bootleg Honestly, I was upset at first but then you know...I can't hate man because they're just doing me a favor dog.
00:45:29: They are putting my shit up on different platforms so people could hear it although i'm not receiving any of the residuals from views or anything like that.
00:45:41: But maybe there will be somebody who watches and hears my shit on their platform saying hey..i want to support this artist And then come in my website eventually you know, become a fan.
00:45:54: So if it works out like that cool but who knows?
00:45:57: Who knows!
00:45:57: But I've created that lane before because i got my website and online shit and all of that shit cracking...but im trying to get your shit digitally bootlayed too.
00:46:15: Well, sometimes yeah.
00:46:16: Sometimes it is what he has made.
00:46:17: you gotta be bootleg if you want to get some more
00:46:20: fans.
00:46:25: Yeah
00:46:26: You know like you might lose a couple dollars here and there But you never know.
00:46:29: maybe those people that listen to the music through The bootleg are gonna come to the show or buy physical copies whatever.
00:46:38: You know
00:46:38: what it is.
00:46:39: man with music bro.
00:46:40: It's always a gamble, you know?
00:46:43: And if your lucky enough to get bootleg then that'a special thing too because a lot of motherfuckers will see someone else out and be like why am I gonna bootleg
00:46:54: this shit?
00:46:56: That shit happened to me, I remember back in the deadpiff days.
00:47:00: we were dropping mixtapes for free and you see guys from Russia Korea Japan.
00:47:06: they were pressing up tapes with our mixtape selling that shit online.
00:47:12: It's part of game man, fuck it You're mad.

00:47:31: I mean yep, right?
00:47:32: Yeah Just like you said exactly dead bro if you want a keep your head up and this crazy music industry It's gotta be like that.
00:47:41: You got to see delight, you know Because it's uh, it's a shady industry and you know a lot of lives have been.
00:47:48: I don't like the word destroyed, but you know what I mean man.
00:47:52: Man yeah dog!
00:47:52: Like... You know?
00:47:55: Yeah man it's a tough one because i think as artists too man me personally..I hate that business aspect to it.
00:48:05: But if want see little bit of money and revenue through it Because all I wanna do is rap dawg I wanna write and rap when u get to a certain space with it.
00:48:20: You do have to take that into consideration, you know?

00:48:45: You've gotta learn a little bit about
00:48:47: me.
00:48:47: And how do you manage like that pressure?
00:48:50: That comes from being an independent artist.
00:48:52: Because especially nowadays, in twenty and twenty-six years... You gotta be active all the time!
00:48:57: You've got to drop music all of a sudden.
00:48:58: So keep the listeners or customers of Music.
00:49:03: They don't understand it they just consume music.
00:49:05: The hearing is cool but they dont realize everything thats going down In life.
00:49:14: Yeah so How do you Manage that Pressure?
00:49:17: I mean, I work a job dog.

00:49:30: And any smart artist who doesn't want to drag people through their dreams because this shit is hard bro like..you can't tell somebody hey i'm gonna be this You know what I mean?
00:49:46: And expect them to hold you down through it until reach that level.
00:49:53: This shit is hard, you lose a lot of people and moments sacrificing the time with your family or kids if they're father.
00:50:05: just certain things.
00:50:07: but personally dawg thats how i really am able maneuvered this whole game working the job man and knowing that I do have responsibilities, you know people depending on me.
00:50:21: That um...I can't just wake up say hey one day this rap shit is gonna pay off.

00:53:17: You always told before not giving up your accomplished greatness already think about all the things that you've done?
00:53:24: No for sure!
00:53:25: For sure man.
00:53:27: yeah I think we get over consumed by what is happening in a moment So kind.
00:53:35: forget whats like what we already done, and you know to get us to a place of where were at right now.
00:53:44: And I do it myself too!
00:53:46: I've been like dangit...I need to do more but i'm like shit..i just did the whole tour....i did this ,i did that.
00:53:52: give yourself a little bit of grace ...give yourself a pat on your back .
00:53:56: Give yourself a chance to rest recoup recharge so you can come back and hit that sh** again You know?
00:54:04: But yeah man completely right about that shit, man.
00:54:08: You gotta live in the moment sometimes and say hey you know I'm doing all that i can...I'm doing what i need to do..and i know i needed more.
00:54:18: but one day at a time....one moment at a tine.
