To any normal person, that just sounds the craziest thing they ever heard.

For sure.

No, definitely not.

Probably the most that anybody in rap gets paid with any sort of frequency.

I feel like Sean Cotton just kind of said that because it felt right.

And then a lot of people latched on to it.

yeah i mean when i rewind back to like 2018 2019 i remember dame dash asked me for 500 so you could get an uber and a haircut and i was astonished that someone was asking me for 500 fast forward to now yeah it feels like really maybe even like a majority of the conversations that i have on camera we're negotiating something right so i created

And I remember you telling me around that time that you were shocked how as soon as you started paying people, even a small amount, like $1,000, that...

all of a sudden they were right on time.

They weren't bullshitting, they were scheduling it, that they were a lot more on top of it once it started to feel like work for them.

Right, which kind of feels like a Boosie shot.

Inadvertently, it works as one, though.

It's a matter of pride.

Nah.

That's some bougie shit.

don't even want to do 30. yeah you see what i'm saying because with the overall cost it really kind of becomes zero again and he had already kind of worked his way into a position where his rate was high enough that you were only really trying to do it maybe three times a year four times a year yeah whereas i'm sure that if he had stuck to a lower number if he had stuck to 10k you might have done every month every month every month you could have made a hundred

But a lot of times when you were interviewing them, you were going to like three hours.

And I could tell that you were really scraping the pot.

I feel like maybe as time goes by, there will come a time where you guys can barely even remember the details of why you initially got into it.

And that at some point, I think that the door will be open for you guys to work together again.
