a lot a lot of great things hip-hop came out of the bronx like that that has
given us sure good
things yeah but unfortunately at least they got hip-hop you know well it's it i
mean yeah that's
it came out of the bronx it couldn't have come out of long island where i lived
it would never have
hip-hop would have never emerged from levittown long island which we just did
but now it is i mean
that's who got rich from that is exactly who got rich no so even in that sense
if you packed a
bunch of people way uptown in the buildings right cost nothing yes also yeah
their squalor will
create music that you will get rich from that's right and then eventually they
will they'll get
a little money but which you can count on you will get the lion's share because
they'll die right
because it's going to be bad yeah and you're going to take the money i'm sure
biggie's mom gets a check
but it's not but it's not the check that she deserves you know uh josh josh josh
robin gets
he might get a bigger check he gets a far bigger far because they'll keep
coming i just i bought
a biggie album on itunes recently yes i like to listen to him when i'm jogging
yeah it's the best
uh but uh you know his mom it's not 14 cents yeah well those deals so this
keeps on working this
thing is keeps on working yeah these 360 deals that musicians sign yeah which
is like a deal where
they give you an advance and then they recoup the advance and it's designed to
keep you in debt
it's designed to keep you like constantly not earning money it's designed to
keep you like beholden
to the record company that's right and everything they give you they you think
they're giving you
stuff right like they say hey guess what fellas they go to the band and they
say you're flying in a
private plane and they go and then they pay for the private plane that comes
out of their record yes
and the private plane is a deal that the company has uh you know vertically
yeah with somebody else
right all those bells and whistles are just just yes you have to look after
your your own thing i mean
i stopped taking advances on the road a long time ago it's a stupid thing right
because it's a they get
to call your advance and expense and sort of take it away from you and when
they split right well i had
to give you an advance yeah but where that's what right it's such a easy con
yeah that you really and
nobody will tell the artists ever right nobody's gonna nobody sits down with
you and goes listen
don't take that porsche yeah exactly right yeah or here's where your porsche is
coming from they
have this thing now in the bronx called drill rap yeah so what drill rap is eric
adam just talked about
it uh it's it's very it's social media driven beefs with young rappers under 21
young guys and they
diss each other on instagram and i mean literally they'll go outside of someone's
project and go i'm
here like with a gun they'll be like i'm right here yeah and and literally it's
they go on instagram live
so eric adams is kind of like maybe we should ban this on instagram like the
mayor of new york's like
why don't has it resulted in any killings lots of killings wow and the the
music is is reflective of
no it's literally but the kids are 16. so a guy a kid a kid 16 year old with a
gun with a gun
goes look i'm outside of the great black person projects i'm outside of the
whatever whatever medgar
evers project yes and uh come here and i'll kill you so now everybody's like if
i go to his instagram
i can see this everybody and then it starts having like the little balloons and
the everything yes
everybody is everyone the little faces you see the little faces yeah it starts
really going and people
have been literally killed and then the guy shows up inside of the the
instagram yeah meanwhile he's
doing like i'm gonna go yeah kill my friend yeah and it's and then has this
resulted in like this has
resulted in live instagram deaths a few of them for real for real i mean bobby
you can look this up but
it's resulted in deaths 100 and there and the da is now trying to use the rap
lyrics yeah as as a way
to like convict because some of the rap rap lyrics are so direct like we killed
him on 175th by the subway
yesterday right at 4 p.m so the da is going like we're trying to put these rap
lyrics out as evidence
right in addition to other things but it's uh some of the rap is very good i
mean it's very like you
know it's very like it's got a whole new sound and it's it comes to the uk has
it too this is going on
in london where it's like social media you think of all the rap beefs that have
happened of people not
liking each other now you add social media everything happens in like real time
right but also it feels like
like what's needed there like when you look at a picture and you go what's
missing right and how
do we solve it with what we have today right when you describe what those guys
are doing right needed
is an app yes that can bring them together more easier right like a grinder for
i'm going to kill
you 100 like a social media like a yeah like an app hold like and it's like
this and you go i don't
want to kill it like it but it's for killing you like you're swiping well
because it is on some level
a guy going i'm out here he has a gun yeah i'm out here he's wanting to connect
with that person that's
that's right he's what i what he really wants is to see him i think i'm not
even being facetious it's
like no it's a need to connect
