It's just that they fucking prey on people who are green and naive to the industry.

And because that story is told more often than not, then we look at every contract as a bad deal.

Mm-hmm.

If he... First of all, he signed with Rock Nation, and it's the same company he called out.

Then he sits down with Jay-Z, and obviously...

Well, in our interview, you'll see that he says that Jay wasn't even completely aware of the structure and the business that was presented to him.

Which made him have to go look at the business like, well, what are we doing?

Because now y'all giving us a bad rep in the street.

But also, it's like, you know, we're supposed to be artists for it.

And sometimes, I think a lot of the Roc Nation deals...

are just management deals.

Where they basically utilize their structure to get you the best deals, to distribute your music to the best place.

But I don't think these are record deals.

These are management deals.

So we look at somebody, and this is the thing that is disingenuous to me, but it's also like,

you know it's just very it's like you gotta always be mindful of the anti-blackness when it creep up we see this young man hustling we see this young man have literally created his own world over there he never left the bay he's doing all this out of his backyard and hitting the road and doing different venues and stuff he's always so for with the people he's always so for with his working with other artists he do hella features he'll show up on your podcast as long as you put in the work um

And we assume that this person is going to work all this time to get into a fucked up contract.

Now we are diminishing the genius and the intelligence of this young man because of how you view things.

You don't know the terms of this nigga contract, bro.

But I can guarantee you somebody that's been working as hard as he's been working didn't work all this way to sign a fucked up deal with a major.
