Artist Profile: Cory Gunz

[MUSIC]

“All right, boom, let me get this intro off.”

I mean, let's go. Hold, hold, hold up. What's up, everybody?

Welcome to the Almanac of Rap.

I'm your host, Don Will. And today's guest might look young but don't get it twisted. He's an industry vet whose pen game is unmatched. Bar for Bar, one of the LSMC's out. And if I see his name as song credits,

I'm automatically personizing. I appreciate that, I mean, what you need. Ladies and gentlemen, Corey Goods. A little girl. It's good, man.

Very much, man. I appreciate it. It's such an honor to have you at the table. Thank you. You know what I'm saying?

Thank you. I'm honored to be here. Listen, we were chopping it up a little bit before. I got a couple questions I want to get into with you. You know what I'm saying?

We'll get back to what we're talking about,

“which is you're upbringing your history and all that shit.”

But in preparing for the interview, I saw that your catagog has been piling up. Yes, going crazy. Like, how do you, how do you stay motivated? Like, what's driving you right now?

My family, man, my family, my people around me, it's not, it's not just a meat thing anymore. Like, I'm bread and I love hip hop. Not only in the body, you like, I'm just a, I'm a hip hop nerd, bro.

Like, I'm a rat. (laughing) That's why you're here.

I always, like, people who call the waste and time,

I don't look at it as a second wasted. Like, any living breath I got in my body if it's not for my family's for hip hop, man. So I take pride in a lot of things that people will be like, "Oh, you see this thing."

That's a beautiful, I'm sure that I love hip hop, bro. So I'm sure that you've absorbed way more hip hop than the average man. Working, I got a great team behind me, shout to cash, shout to Bianca, shout to Blacks on, shout to...

Like, my whole team, bro, I'm gonna be real with you. Like, they've been keeping me consistent in a different level of, just doing more. Yeah. I said, like, it's not only with the rapping

and anything else is just more like doing what I got to do and getting me, not comfortable, but more acclimated to adapting with the evolution of the brain. Right, because the game has changed,

you've weathered the storm. You've been through so many different phases of the game. Yeah. Yeah, like, I wanna ask this question later, but we hear it now, so fuck it.

Like, streaming air versus mixed tape air. I wish your favorite... Um, it's different dynamics. I would take with that. Like, the mixed tape air was more of, like,

you know, you had to get your sources directly from the street in some sort of way shape of form. You had to go get that tape from, whether it was your barbershop, whether it was your local, your movie man, whether it was,

you know, you had to get that tape from a particular place or whatever, like, with the streaming air now is more accessible, so I don't look at it as a downfall, but there are certain things and I feel like there are certain ways that it can be, like,

attack from certain angles to make it more exclusive and to bring that dynamic to it. But now is just become so much more like, he can rap, I can rap, he could dance, I could dance, he could jump, I could jump.

It's become so accessible that people who really love it or people that, it's like, yo, I'm not gonna waste my time clicking a shit, like, is this click bait or is it what, like, you know what I mean? But certain things, like, I love rap so much

and, like, you said earlier, like, my name is everything to me, bro, like, my name is, I want you to at least know that when you see my name, like, you said earlier, you click that shit and know that you're gonna get, you're not wasting your time.

- Never, never have heard of bad quarry guns first.

- Thank you very much. - It's hard to believe it 'cause I know how it is. They aren't on the way, you'd have a think or feel like you, bro. - And speaking of Corey Guns' verse, is you got the Lucy Pat going right now?

- Yeah. - The Lucy Pat series. - And on the third one, I noticed you got Chris Rivers. - The Luxe on the Way, I'm sorry, 'cause. - Chris Rivers, the Luxe on the Way.

- The Luxe on the Way. - That's your camera, that's mine. The Luxe on the Way, you got Chris Rivers and Jay Wan on the right, so my question to you was

“it's like, is there, like, a son's of rappers group chat?”

Those are my brothers, it's our generation now, like, I was so tired, man. - I wish it was shit, like, and it was so dope about Chris and about Jay Wan, it was so similar and so different at the same time.

Like Jay Wan is somebody I would definitely hit up and be like, yo bro, should I do this or should I be moving this way or should I wear this or should I do this or should I do this or how you feel, like me being like, we all offer something to each other.

Like I'll be lying if I sat here and said, yo, I tell this one this or I do. To me, it's no, like, it is the age on it, it's a respectful level, but it's still we all are individuals.

- What's the age difference between you and Jay Wan? Is he 20? - Yeah, I believe Jay Wan is, how does Jay Wan get?

- 27.

- I'm definitely, where I know, I'm definitely older than him,

but the fact that you were, you were Chris about the same age, right? - Almost, I'm a Chris too. - Oh, okay. - This, and Emmanuel, those are three different dynamics

and three different generations, three different styles, three different views and perspectives of art that are both to the table. So, what each other and what I, how I feel right and just art and life works in itself is just life.

To me, we all have different, whether it's skill sets, whatever it is, we bring in the table, we all have things that we bring in the table for a reason to help each other with. So it was like, why would I, even if it's a lawn,

why would I feel the way hitting Jay Wan up like, yo bro, is this, is this it? You think this is, nah bro, you could have said that better. Oh, you could have did this, that's my, as well as this month, that's my little bro,

that's my pair, he's a me, still. I don't classify him as a little brother. He's a grown ass man. - Yeah, exactly.

- Elyracist, he's an artist, he's an entrepreneur.

So I value invalidating his opinion as I would somebody that's my age or somebody that's done whatever. You know what I'm saying? Like it's, it's a certain respect

and it's a dynamic that comes with that. - Yeah. - And I think a lot of people, hip-hop fans like me, when we found out that Jay, because how to stun that man. - And he's nice by the way, dad and I just think it's crazy.

- Jay Wan walks on shit, that's my statement

“and that's why I'm leaving it at and I said,”

Jay Wan is not just a regular, you're not gonna just sit there and expect one thing from him. Don't expect the sit there and get listening in mind, alone by one line, or one mind, alone by there. He's a, he's a, how would I say this?

Calculated and that's perfect. He's a Calculated artist. - That's a good way to put it. - It's nothing that, and then what people feel to realize too, in essence, and Chris and his,

I look, you can, somebody can be younger than you

and you admire them as well. - Exactly. - Jay Wan has a fucking degree in psychology. - I have no idea. I was like, you feel what I'm saying?

- Yeah. - So I was like, people would be quick to, oh, you don't know, like, all of us are gifted and blessed with talents and gifts and certain skill sets for us to help the next.

It's not for us to be better than the next. That's how I grew up, that's how I was raised and I don't wanna be the guy with everything that does everything that has all in. I don't want all ends.

- Yeah, you know, they say the hot time raises all the-- - I don't want all the outfits, yeah. - I don't want all the jewels, I don't want all of that.

“I wanna be able to, I like that, to me, life is evolution”

and growth and the feeling, to me, I get more of a fulfillment in the path rather than in the destination. - I can tell. - You know what I'm saying? - Speaking of evolution and growth, right now,

you got the militia. - Yes. - You got your, your crew. So tell me about the militia, like what's out the move, shout the Reese, shout the Dashi, shout the packs,

all my bros, shout them, all my bros, scat, shout them. Shout a lot of my bros, that even, it's people that aren't, or artists in this thing, and those are valuable people, too. - Everybody's not understanding for the big picture for us,

whether it's through merch, whether it's through putting a stick of some way, whether it's through a shout out, whether it's a post on a page, everybody plays a very, very, very detrimental part and will be have more on them. So it's a conglomerate of us, bro, like--

- Yeah, and like my question is, it appears that you're taking like the leadership world, like the team captain who's trying to position, and it sort of mirrors the position-- - I think that's-- - I think that's leaders, not to get you off. - Oh, absolutely, everybody stands in the ocean.

- I don't want to be nobody's boss, I don't want to be, I don't want that, I don't want that responsibility because I'm still learning, and like-- - But my question for you is, like, it kind of mirrors the relationship of like Wayne and young money,

like what sort of stuff did you learn over there that you're applying with the militia? - That's what I do. I move on experience, like it would be a fool of me and a fool of like Wayne, when respected, if I didn't,

if I wasn't passing the moves on and doing certain things, like that's part of what the growth and the process is, and it's certain things that come with that, like some people are shunned at some people who look at it like, "Yo bro, you, you with this dude."

So it's easy if you are that are not enough. You give them tools, but then again, you want that. Like, I saw some recently with a brown, like in his son,

“why wouldn't you want to help your son be on the same team?”

- Right. - Why wouldn't you want your son to have the access and the stuff that you have access? Like, it's become so weird on the internet and just, not just there, just pair you with people

that they feel like, it's like, "Yo, if you end the position, "I only would you do it too?" But it's like, "Why not?" - Why not? - Why not provide those opportunities for your family?

- It makes no sense. - And what do you have the same interests? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying, you know what I was going, right?

- You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying?

- You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - You know what I'm saying? - That you got to earn your keep, the odds is on us, they know the relationship, they expect them was, they expect them a certain thing.

If you notice even in my journey, in my musical journey, you don't have, you haven't seen him over, like, as much as he wants to. And I'm keeping it all the way real with, like, on this camera now, and if for everybody now, it's been plenty times, and plenty things, and plenty conversations I have when we, he's like, oh, I'm about to just take over, step in, and take over

this whole situation like now we're doing it, and I'm like, oh, let me, even though I'm not so much glad me, but I'm like, oh, baby, let me, and he's doing it out of the kind of, it's like, all right, I'm gonna let you go, but I know, I know what it takes.

“So, go do your thing, which I respect, that's how he raised you and made you.”

But at the end of the day, I know what it takes, and I'll, it's bustle patient, I'm gonna be. - This is a, this is a question, a strange question, but whatever, like, how tall is he in real, like, I can't, I can't imagine how tall it is.

- I'll never look at, like, it's certain things, and like, are you up to, like, a rip

case, like, in my mind? - No, no. - He's taller than that, like, I'm seeing him for scale, I've seen pictures of him on the internet, next to people, and I'm like, I can't imagine how tall it is. - That's my God, that I've been punished, I've been in shape, like, like, oh, that's

my God, like, in this mid-interview, you could call me right now, and be like, oh, and I'll be on some late. - I would, I would love it if he took a call, and that would be crazy. - Yeah, he's my Godfather, but one thing I could say with him, bro, I'm my long life. He's hip-hop, bro, and he's all four, a lot of the reasons and a lot of the things I'm

doing, and moving away is I'm moving is because of him. - He's one of the first basketball players that I saw, and I just couldn't run. - Yeah. - He's one of the first ones. - Yeah.

- Like, motivation wise, whether it's mental, like, anything, he's helping, like, on, on, on a note of whether it's me looking at him or anything that he has going on, like, that's my family. It's big, it's deep in and rap, or deep in, even the title of a lot of father, that's my family.

“- Another guy who mentors you in the game, or I had you in the game is Nick Cannon.”

- That's my brother. - That's my big brother. - My question for you is a silly question. Are you Godfather, any of those kids? - No.

- He's not a silly question, though. - Like, what's he at? What number? He's like, like, I don't think I'm wrong, I don't think I'm wrong. - We lost God, because--

- Have you taught him not? - I don't even tell you, you know, I'm saying to my mother say, "I don't want any brother." - I don't want any brother. - Shout out to me. - Yeah, I love Nick Cannon.

- I love Nick Cannon. - Nick is my guy, man. He's my guy, bro. Nick is my guy, bro. Nick.

Nick don't do my mom. Nick is the person that, on a real level, on a ground level, I've seen him change his wife. So it's deep in and rap, or deep in any political, any shit, like, it's a different relationship by that one.

I don't fuck with any of the posts or any of the bullshit, whoever got to say whatever about him, that's cool, and that's cool with them, and what they got going on or whatever, and there's no disrespect, no shade, but I fuck with him on a real family level, and there's a lot that come with that too. So it's like--

- And as a man and as a businessman, Nick Cannon, he's a comedian, so people like, you know, they feel like they can approach comedians differently. Nick Cannon is by and by one of the best businessmen. - Nick Cannon has changed a lot, you know, in front of your face, and I've seen, and people will attest, like how people are coming out with exposing people, people will come on exposing,

with helping them change their life, and there's-- he has a lot more followers and a lot more people behind him who he's put in position to make a better living for their selves and their kids and their families than people who could, like, sail, do whatever they want to say to try to slander him or play him on a-- all that corny shit and all that-- he's changed lives and helped a lot of real, and a lot of people real individuals that won't even

entertain that. So I don't-- I don't try to delve in all that out of the shit, you know, that's cool, with whoever, but I know him, and I know the people who's changed, and I know he's put a lot of people in position to help them, so certain things are not my business, and I try to stay out of that, and it's my-- and it is what it is, but I'm a street nigga too with

them today. So I know what comes with all that, and I know what he's done for me, and I know what he's done for a lot of other street niggas.

“- So-- - I was halfway expecting to see the incredible change, you know?”

- You listen to me? - I had it for an hour. - I'm weird, I bring it up, like I put it off, I don't want to read all the junk.

- That's where I was, yeah.

- I bring it out here and there, and like, and I was a birthday gift. I wasn't there, and then I got through a contract with some of the 20 business and all other shit, like that. That was just him on the strength of just trying to help me get in the situation, giving me, I got a two-mile hon on this.

The first rapper with his own reality show.

- Talk about it. - Talk happy talk right. - That didn't have to do no funny shit, and I got my own reality show before I got my record deal, and got the deal, and I actually complimented everything that ill of the universe alliance things in certain ways, so I didn't have to do any shit for him to do a lot of

“the shitty diff in me, and that's what separated me, separated him from a lot of people with”

me from the beginning. - Yeah. - So I'll fuck with him, man, wholeheartedly, like, that's my big brother on a personal level, like, or anything to do with anything outside or anything else that's going on, that's not my business, whatever he has with other relationships, he has with other people, and he

any little banter with us on Instagram, I'm not a really social media in the good light. - Stay off that shit, so I use it for this whole, it's a platform, and I use it for that,

but you have to be good friends, like, I'm not with all the other antics in the shit

of the people do. - Yeah, so you've had a lot of, you've had a lot of mentors and a lot of good, strong people in your corner, and I would be remiss not to ask about low weight. - Yeah, it's my big brother. - What's the relationship like with him?

- That's my big brother. - Big brother. - Low weight is like, he's definitely like watching his career trajectory, watching him go from like being like in the hot boys to that infamous, the infamous, uh, what was the mixed team series squad-up series where he's like ripping the pages out the notebook

as he's spitting, you know what I'm saying? - Throwing on the broms away and shit? - I had all his tapes, I had a bunch of them, but yeah, I would imagine you were studying that shit.

“- So how did it feel to be full circle and like have to be like, you're broke?”

- Today's day is still be a little weird, because as moments I catch myself and then I'm in a studio and then I look and then he probably will, like, look at, look at things, like, he'll probably look at this interview and look at things I've said and done. - But I won't. - And be like, yeah, I know, and it's like, yeah, and then you're like, I asked for your album

for Christmas. - That shit's crazy. - I was on my Christmas list, so I was like, when I'm in a studio with somebody that I hold that such a regard, and they fuck with me too, and they respect me on the excuse my language, I don't know what I'm talking about.

- And they respect me on a certain level, bro, it's like a, in like, or anything like. - So y'all talk about the same age, right? - No. - He's a little older. - He's a little older.

- Okay. 'Cause in my mind, y'all were both like, he's been rapping since. - We around the same age, yeah, but he's been, he's been, like, y'all were both been, like, rapping for around the same period of time. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- You kind of kind of have like a Jedi, like, he's a Jedi, like, a Jedi, like, took up a

“fee, understanding of what other life is.”

- It's a lot of shit I do in a lot of ways I move, whether it's certain things, it's a lot I learned from Wayne, but it's a lot I learned from him. - So good, that's a good thing. - Well, he carries himself to the way he respects everybody, to the way he rums the way he delivers.

It's a lot of gyms he's given me that I wouldn't give him a camera, but it's just a lot that he's a great mentor, a great person, a great big brother. He's just a solid individual in the men of his word, bro, like he's just, I'm direct with him, like, if anything, and that's rare for me, dealing with people who will say it, like, a deal, a record label that it out, like, I call my CEO, you know what I'm saying, that's my brother,

and I get that's my big brother, so it's like, he's my CEO, and then is that respected, but at the same time, it's like, well, what's up, and what you've got going, what you know, what you did that, and I mean, you need to do this, you need to, I bet, cool, that's my brother. - So before we continue to interview, there are three people that can potentially call you right now. Check, Nick Cannon and Little Wayne could interrupt his interview at any moment.

Feel free to call, he's right, but another person who, another person who, another person who, probably call right now, who's like, OG Supreme is your pops, so my question, like, for those who don't know who've been on the ride, I wouldn't know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the respect or the have, I wouldn't have understanding any of those individuals who wasn't from my father. - Yeah, and for those of you watching who don't know his father is Peter Guns.

- Yes. - Father is uptown, baby, his father is an incredible, impactful art.

- Probably my favorite rapper. - His favorite rapper. - Not where he got the famous. - He's my favorite artist, but I'm saying probably my favorite rapper because it's rap. So artist was as far as like a person that could pick up an instrument, a person that could create something great from another thing. - Yeah, he's a musician. - That's my dad. - So my question, we were talking about a little bit, but that was all everybody in the amazes.

- We were talking about a little bit earlier before the camera started rolling, but like, what was it like growing up with,

With like, not only somebody that was like encouraging your dreams, but like ...

- It was tangible. - It was like, I can't, as much as I love you and you my son, and I want to tell you what you're doing is good or anything like that.

It would be better off for you if I told you that shit was white rather than some of my elves and born in depression or anything like that. So my dad ain't ever cut, you know, slight bro. He said a standard for me to go above. He said a standard for me to be like, "Yo, this is it. Anything else has to be, over this, it can't be none less than this, it has to be this, it has to be that. My parents didn't make nothing was easy coming to me. Like, I didn't been in the studio with him prior years before I started doing my own solo shit and rame on arms, and it would be, of course, it would be him and the stuff he wanted me to deliver and stuff he written for me before.

- Yeah. - I was about 10, 19 years old, and I had around 11 and 12, I started like, "Yo, mary my own shit. I really want to do this. I want to tell my shit. I've been around, I'll hear a battle in English from every barrel every state. I'm sneaking out three in the morning, going to fucking Boston. That one in English seemed to back home before the battle before the battle ring. Before the battle rings, I'm home. Shout out to my big cousin, Jim. Grandma got rest of my grandma's solo, you can't get in trouble, so I definitely gave you up.

Please to seek me out, him and my cousin Johnny got rest of solo. I'll be where we go from Harlem to as far as Boston in different states to get to show English what it is.

“At a little age, I'm 12, 13, and I'm in a arena with grown men, and I think they like that.”

I'm not going to say hand to my own a friend, but I left for respect. That's all I'm going to say. So like, going around, battling at 11 and traveling and doing that 11, my next question is, what was it like, what's like when you're early as members of being on stage? I was about two, two, yeah, my dad bought me out, got rest of my uncle E, he just passed two, three days ago, and birthday was something to my uncle E. They were bringing me out, and one thing with my dad, when I was about one or two, when they playing music or they playing something, I was, I had rhythm at two, so I would hear some shit, then he would stop it and I would stop.

So they capitalise on that, you know, we're going to bring him out, or at the show, whatever we're doing, we're going to have numerous groups before him and my uncle shot them on a little to read. Money boss player. Hindi P, before my dad had gone on this posse deep, they were both a part of going around is actually him and uncle, before I was posse deep. Like, just the people you get to call family. Yes, it's another one that, that's why I am how I am, bro, like, you got to understand, like, outside of my dad, my dad brings a different musical aspect, and then it's Uncle Lo, Uncle Lo is on some street, you know, I'm saying, like, it's like, all right, I got to mix these two, I got to be able to do, bring this, I got to bring both of these styles together.

“I'm a mixture of my dad and Terry, that's what people don't realize, like, I'm in the street and I'm in the music.”

Yeah, together. I see it now, like, like, I literally, it just, it just makes sense. That's what raised me, that's what Brandon, people won't take the time. It's any face. Yeah, it's literally because you were like a part of that. You're going to be doing a little three, can see in the music you got with Jay, Nas and big, and all that, and he hit a content, and he hit my dad, and see what he's doing, and they're going to be like, oh, shit.

So, okay. Speaking of, like, you have such a heavy musical family. Yeah.

“I want to get to this a little bit of studio talk. My question for you is, are you on the spot right or do you like to come to the studio, where still everything, bro?”

Are you just versatile? Are you playing a whole fan? You can hope that things that you might be able, I might hear something on a spot and get something and got to go on the booth and then in. And then there's things that I'll sit and live with and I'll record it or like, I'm just an artist, bro. Like, I don't, there's no time limit or there's no. If we have a deadline or if we have something to do, if it's a situation at hand, where it can easy to be done, it all takes like, it's a different processes.

Especially when you need. So it's like, it depends on what you look at for. If you look at for something. On a certain level, then it takes time. Sometimes things hit you in the name and you gotta just do it. Like, I'm, a lot of my best shit comes from that. Like, I'll hear something.

And whatever I hear, like, energy wise, sometimes the words don't always come to me in the name.

But as there's a melody, it is a cadence, so there's a certain energy that I need to capture in the name on the spot. And I'll do it, then I'll come back for the words and lead it. Or I'll just knock the shit out there.

I would imagine you spend a lot of time with the studio.

Like, like, out of seven days in a week on average, how many days in a week?

I was recently, because I had a little boy show up in my life. Oh, congratulations, man. Yeah, thank you, bro. I was recently, I've been more, so just on a writing tip. Like, I've still been in a lab, but not as much as I usually go. But you're not hanging out in the lab. You're just going there to drop the shit, but you're not going to spend. But I really, like, love the studio, like, my process and my, if I had to choose or live a life,

it would just be me making the music and going to perform it. Okay.

“And knowing you have a kid now, I got to ask, like, how is that changed? Like, your, has it changed?”

Yeah, man, I've got 20 daughters. Oh, okay, older. So you put a pot? Well, how was being a dad influence your, your creativity, your art, your work, a general? It's been, it's been more of a, it's not just for you, and then, and that, they listen, type of thing. But at the same time, it's me having to be authentic and be what I was, what I was also racing, and also, like, finding my, my self, my sound, my individuality, and being comfortable with being myself around them as well.

So it's like, having to, like, as certain points in time and a lot of artists, some people might not, it might not resonate with them as much, like, you'll hear a seas, seashell, and you'll go through something and it might change your whole perspective on everything, like, as long as you know who you are, and what you're doing all that shit, like, your kids are going to respect and brace and know the difference. You know what I'm saying? So I don't follow myself saying, like, I'm going to change my whole,

that I can listen to tonight, that, whether they learn it for me or they don't, they're going to hear it or see it from somebody else. Right. Just sticking them all authentic, true self, making the same content, staying with what I, staying firm on, but at the same time, knowing, like, if anything from me that they hit,

is just learning a growth in loving what you do.

And as a dad, you kind of want to have, like, you're an artist too. So you want to have these documents of who you are, but you're going to see, they're going to hear them anyway. Yes. So you can't hide the good, the bad, the, you got to be your total self and that probably should for my dad. You know, right? You know, I can't throw a sort of shit. So I'm like, yeah, I don't, that probably let you walk differently,

because you, you know that, like, you can't hide anything. You know, especially in this age, in this era, they can, is access to, they could probably tell me more about me. And I can tell them. So speaking of speaking of influences, you, you, pops is your favorite rapper. Yeah, yeah.

“If we got to talk influences, they're like, which, what other rappers influenced somebody, your style of the greatest?”

Everybody who sounds like they're self. Everybody who sounds like they're self. Yeah. Yeah. The big puns, of course, of course, big in pop.

That's it. Everybody's got JD Kiss. He doesn't sound like anybody. Got Twister.

He doesn't sound like the names I got, and I mentioned it, don't sound like,

you know, I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I didn't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge.

I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. I don't want to be a judge. Why would you hate or fear or shame on somebody who's trying to feed their family and

get out of a situation? Especially out of the Bronx, New York, Chicago, wherever you're from, the hood, Perry. We know where we come from. Yeah. The hood.

We've been from nothing. So it's like, why would I sit here and take a given opinion on some shit on a platform with who I am? No one will impact thinking I have on that person to feed in their baby? I don't understand how a lot of people do shit like that.

Speak of yourselves. Yeah. You speak power to things you want to magnify. Yes. You don't just try to chop them shit down just to do it arbitrarily.

I fuck that. Yeah. It's just crazy to me. But I listen to all of it. I like it.

I like the energy. Some of the content I'm not going to say in Chicago, when were you in Vegas? I don't agree with you. You feel like a lot of them be making themselves hot and be setting themselves up for

“failure before they get to know what life is in certain senses.”

But that don't take away from the genre or the people that surround me, the people that don't want to shit to do it to get that bread. That's an eloquence.

That's basically what it is.

Anybody else is doing it for just whatever other reasons. I don't hate period. But if you're doing that shit to get a case, I'm not listening. I'm not pressing play. I'm going to hear it.

I'm not my coppers. No. No. I'm conspiracy. I'm not hearing it.

I know what you did. I don't want to hear that. Then you're scaring them. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.
