Full Episode
Let's say you write a song. In your head is the way that you really want it to come out. And once you just replicate it over and over again, it never comes out like that when you say it. So when it's the first thought that comes to your mind, you say it, there goes a grand scheme of things right there. Later on in life, it made me appreciate the music way more.
Once I can understand the subject matter, they ain't really right in the head. I've had homeboys that have done stuff one time. And you know how they say you get stuck? They done got stuck there mentally. Even when I want to steer all the way left, her voice tells me to go back in. So even when I want to trip sometimes, I still got to have that heart and compassion that she instilled in me.
Like once you talk every day, it's like therapy.

AD. Yes, sir. What up, bro? Thanks for coming, man. I appreciate it. I like me. I'm with it, man. The hospitality is great. So I'm shocked. First of all, you're the first rapper to ever come on time. You were early. Yeah, I was early. You didn't come with a posse. Nah. Are you packing? I'm always packing. Atta boy. Yeah.
We're two for three.
We're two for three. I'm always great. Dude, that's awesome. I'm packing love though. Packing love. I feel safer. I feel safer when you're packing. This is a tough neighborhood. Everybody in there, Bentley's driving by. You never know. Come on, man. OJ, OJ, he was out here. Yeah, he was. Hey, OJ was innocent. Yes, he was. Damn straight. I like that. I like that. Come on, man. You know how I do it.
So. You, I was listening to, what song was I listening to before? Oh, it was On The Radar Freestyle. Shout out to Gay from On The Radar too.
And they haven't released that yet, right? And we can put this out. When are you going to release it? When you drop it on the show. Really? Yeah, we'll do it like that. You know, the SoundCloud era is cool and everything, but I didn't grow up in that. Nah. That ain't my thing. You're the first guy that came here where I was like this. I come from that era, though. I was born in 89.
