Down south, Parine. Down to Parine. Born and raised, I really was born in Richmond Heights. I was raised in Richmond Heights, and then I moved from the Heights. I moved to Parine.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

So the majority of my younger life is in Parine. In Parine. You know, a lot of, you know, matter of fact, my wife asked me today, is DJ nasty Haitian? A lot of people think that. A lot of people believe it because I rept so hard. And I go so hard. And the reason I go so hard for Haitian people, for everybody know I'm not Haitian.

SPEAKER_00 2:58

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

But the reason I go so hard is because of the fact that Haitian people have been through so much. Yeah. Just over time. And the endurance of Haitian people to bounce back through whatever I gotta rep. I mean, you'd be flawed if you don't rep that. Appreciate that. You know what I'm saying? Like you're talking about earthquakes, bounce back. Bounce back. Government overthrows, you bounce back. I mean, the list of first first black country to get the independence. You feel me? You gotta like rep it. And and the thing about Haitian people, no matter what, is always love. Yeah. So I be flawed if I don't rep it. You know what I'm saying? Appreciate that. Appreciate that. Definitely a lot. What high school you went to? Southridge? What yeah? Number one high school in Miami. Oh shit. What is that? Miami South Ridge. South Ridge. I already know. I already know. Everybody went to the number one high school in Miami. I mean, it's facts. Just check the check the stats. Check the stats. Southridge. He said South South Ridge. Men lie, women lie, them numbers don't check the stats. Check the stats. That's it. It's a few, it's a few. Back in the, you know, I'm I'm I'm from the I'm from the 80s. When I say 80, I graduated out of school in 84. So I went to private school. I went to school. No, no, no. I graduated from Curly High School. Rich. Got it.

SPEAKER_02 4:28

It is, though. Come on. I mean, it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

You weren't doing bad, though. I wasn't doing bad. I wasn't doing bad. But the thing is, though, I wanted to do bad. You feel what I'm saying? I was the black sheep of the family. I wanted to be with the, you know, I was the Haitian dude that, you know, I've been here since I was six years old. You feel me? Grew up a little Haiti. You know what I'm saying? So I wanted to be bad and be with the bad boy. Mom and Daddy to get on me, but I wanted to be bad with 16 years old. The old boy bought me a box chevy for my 16th birthday. I would drop that bitch the first day. Oh, you like, oh, you want to be like the black American. So yeah, man, but uh uh uh nasty, what you what you went to school with, man? I mean, where you went to college at? I know college. I went to Family. Y'all went to fam either. Big Rattler. Yeah, big time, big rapper. Went to fam. So the funny thing is, I dropped out. So I went to school for like, I got there in '97. I dropped out in '98. But I went back in 01 and I got my degree in 04. That's what's up. Yeah, I went back. That's what's up. I did a little time in the military. The Navy, right? No, I was in the Air Force. Air Force. You was in the Air Force. I was in the Air Force. I did three years in the Air Force. And when I got out, I took the GI Bill, used that money, because I had no money, used that money to pay for me to go to school. And then that's when I really got back into the DJ game and was making a little money doing that. And that's how I paid to go to school. So how old were you when you started the DJ game? 17. Oh shit. Who got you on the game? Uh really myself, but the people that influenced me, Uncle Al, definitely. Um I was really about Luke though. Luke was Luke was a he was an icon, a celebrity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I never thought that I would ever meet, touch, never thought he would be in my trajectory. Never. Right, right, right, right. But but Al, the the reason why he inspired me, I used to, coming from down south, I used to get on the Metro Rail. Uh-huh. Because my daddy used to drive buses. So I used to steal his little transfers when he brings them home. I still don't catch the bus and I get a little allowance. And so I take my like every week I get like $10. Yeah. So I take my little allowance money and I go straight to USA. Get on the bus, get on the rail, go to USA. And every week, I do this every Saturday. Every weekend, I would take $10. $5 I get chicken wings and fresh fries out the gate. The other $5, I'm looking for a sugar hill tape. I get the sugar hill tape, I take the train back home, I go in my room, I lock the door in my room, and I sit there and I listen to the tape all day, all night. When I got lucky enough and fortunate enough to get a car, I take the tape, put it in the car. Still listening to it. I'm studying. You're studying. But I never thought that it would put me in this position. Right, right, right. I just love Al, what he did, what he stood for. Yeah. Like I never thought I would be a DJ, but that was the inspiration. Yeah, that's what's something. And you know, you know what's crazy though? When you talk, when you when you when you when you saying that, and like I said, like I told you, I was one of them Joes that's that's that everybody I hung with that I was around was Americans. Right. Was Yanks. Everybody, you know what I'm saying? I was like from back when I had my box Chevy and I dropped my box Chevy, this is like 80. I'm talking about 80s, you know what I'm saying? And I'm I'm rep repping Rudy's records of tape, right, driving for the Martin Luther King parade when it was six seconds, going straight down six seconds, you know. So that's I'm you know what I'm saying, and then I God bless his dad. I used to date his one of his older sister. So I do, you know what I'm saying? When you talk about Luke, I used to drive the U-Haul truck for Luke, because them guys didn't know how to drive don't stick. Oh no. Yeah. You feel what I'm saying? So we know you know, uh big man Steve and all them disco Joe and all them, you know what I'm saying? So I'm back then and we we stopping at uh I'm going to his mama's house. We pick, we go to his mama's house off of uh at Liberty City of a six, you know, 60, she stayed on 60 something and 13, I think it was. And we go over there and we pick up, I pick up, you know, pick up the the speakers, put the speakers in the UR, and then yo man, I be driving the stick. None of them niggas drop the drop.

SPEAKER_00 9:43

You know what I'm saying? So I'm back.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

You know what I'm saying? That's how far I go back. You feel what I'm saying? Superstar Rulatech, you know what I'm saying, all that. So, you know what I'm saying? I'm one of them, like I said, man, I'm super OG. Yeah, I've been around. You know what I'm saying? You know, God is good.

SPEAKER_02 9:58

But DJ, just nasty, is there a difference between MCN, MC and DJing?

SPEAKER_01 10:03

1000%. So the MC is the person that just he's on the mic all day. Right. He don't touch no records, he don't select no records. He just, he's the individual that controls the crowd vocally. The DJ controls the crowd musically. You know what I'm saying? Okay. So the DJ normally don't say nothing. He just normally play the records, let the MC know this is what I'm doing. Okay. The MC gotta get creative and making the DJ look good. That's that's the point of the MC, but it's different. It's different. Okay, okay, okay. I've just been blessed in my situation to incorporate both. So I'm the MC and the DJ. You know what I'm saying? And the only reason that happened for me because when I wanted to first become a DJ, I ain't had no equipment. I ain't had nothing. No records, no turntables, no mixer, I ain't nothing. The only thing I knew was what Al did. And I could just hear him. And I everything he said, I said. You said. But I just flipped it in my own way. Yeah. I ain't say it exactly like Al. I just took bits and pieces and just flipped it and just did my thing with it. So the DJ who heard me, the first DJ that heard me, his name was Saxwell, God bless the dead. He was up in Tallahassee when I was at Fam. And he heard me because I asked him, I was like, yo, you mind if I get on your microphone pause? And he was like, Yeah, because I don't talk. Because he was a mixer.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Right.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Like, dog can mix oil and water the same way you mix bumboo and villa. I'm talking about, and that thing is, whoo. That's exactly how he was. He was smooth like that. Dog mix anything. So he was so dope as a mixer, he never had anybody that talked that talk. Well, here I come. 17 years old talking that talk. And the next thing you know, dog said, damn, what's your name? And at the time I never had a DJ name. Right, right, right. I never had it. But that particular night, I never forget it. I had on a football jersey. And on the back of the jersey, it said, Dr. Nasty. So when I got on the mic and I'm doing my thing at a party, I was like, man, I appreciate it. And I'm leaving. And somebody kept saying Dr. Nasty, and I ain't know who the fuck he was talking to. Dr. Nasty. So the security guard was like, hey man, I think they talking to you. They're talking to you. I don't know the name. You don't remember you. You didn't remember you had Dr. Nasty on your shirt? No, I mean I knew it, but I don't think they're talking to me. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now once I figure out, the security dude at the club was like, hey man, dog trying to hotlash you. So I go back. He's like, man, what's your name? And I'm like, I ain't got no name. He's like, nah, man, your name's gonna be Dr. Nasty. Okay, well, that's what it is then. Dr. Nasty. And that was my MC name. Right. And then I got to a point like, man, I don't want to be no MC. The DJ get all the chicks. Everybody wanna holler at the DJ. Yeah, okay. Nobody give a damn. I know, man. I want I wanna learn how to do that. I want to do that. So then I learned. You know what I'm saying? I learned then. Shot my man DJ Chuck. Shot Saxwell, DJ Demp. Those cats really put, they put like, it was like a boot camp and they put me in camp. More Chuck than any Chuck back in them days, he's the DJ for Klay D. Klay D, you know, give me a little bit of a. He's the DJ for Klay. So what dog would do, he would treat DJing like going to the gym. When you go to the gym, you gotta do what? You gotta work out. You gotta work out. So my workout was Chuck had a shit, like a like a real shit. And I would leave school, I go to dog crib. Like, now all right, Nancy, you know what time it is. I'm like, gotta go work out. So I'm thinking, like, okay, we gotta go to the gym. Nah, you wanna be a DJ, right? I'm like, yeah. Nah, you gotta go work out. So in the shed, dog had his turn tables, his records, make everything set up. And I literally would go in and I would just take records, and I had my lay headphones and figure out what records matched. But I'm working out.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:05

So I'm trying to figure it out. And then I got to a point where I started getting good. Now mind you, these ain't my records, ain't my turntables. This ain't this Chuck. But me and him was so, we were so good, he was like, nah, nasty. Like, if you use it, you gotta pay me. So the first time I got to actually play, it was because of Chuck. We was doing this, Chuck was doing a party, and he said, Yo, I gotta go to the bathroom, I'll be back. Dog never came back. He left for you, purposely left you. And left me. So I'm literally in front of this crowd, and I gotta figure it out. So we figured it out. Where you yo, yo, yo, yo, where you came from? What you what I mean, what you get? What did you get? Oh, oh, oh, oh. What you get how did that come about? I was drunk. Dead as I was drunk. And then that shit is a that's things your that's your signature, boy. So when I was in Tallahassee, they called me Mr. Official. That was my, it was DJ Nasty, Mr. Official. Okay, okay. When I moved here, when I moved back from Tallahassee, my dog Big Will, God bless his soul, Big Will. Big Will at the time was the king of the strip clubs. He was a king. No strip club popped off if it went for Will.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

Tallahassee.

SPEAKER_01 16:40

No, here. So back in the day he had cocos on a lot. Big Will. Dog used to be on the radio, he used to go 99 GMs, but like late night, type of life. But back in like early too, like Dog ran a strip club. So when I came back, he was like, man, Nancy, well, if I go, you go. Okay. So Dog got me in Cocos. I'm smashing Coco's tanned down. And I got comfortable. Everybody in that show love. I show love back. No pressure. One random day, Will said, all right, Nasty, we leaving Cocos. I said, where are we going? Oh, we're going to take one. What the fuck is say one? Oh, it's a little Haiti. Seven day night. Saturday night. I ain't going over there. No, boy, that's Lil Haiti. No. Nah, Nasty, you good. Nah, boss. I'm not going over there. That's Lil' Haiti. Yeah. You don't know what's going on, Lil Haiti. Boy, I ain't going. I'm not going over there. It's not gonna happen. Ain't happening. No haps. He said, Nasty, you gotta chill. If I go to La Haiti, I'm right with you. I'm not going by myself. That's how spooked that was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's like, all right, Nancy. So dog wrote me in the car. We get to take one. Now mind you, I heard that take one had a jukebox. Uh-huh. It never had a DJ booth. It had a jukebox. That's the one up. Not the new one, the one that when it was across the street. Yeah, yeah, across the street. Way back. Just the real take one. Real take one. Real take one. That's just the same. No, right now. Yeah. The real take one. The real take one. It had a jukebox in there, never had a DJ booth. So the dude who owned it, when him and Will clicked up, it was like we're gonna build the DJ boo. Yeah, it was a white boy who owned that back in the day. A white dude owned it. And then the dude who ran it is a black dude named James. And him and um I think his cousin or something like that. But anyway. So the first night I got to take one, I was so scared. I was scared shitless. I was so scared. I get in the club, I realize it's one way in. Oh yeah. I said, oh no, this ain't that. Uh-uh. No, no, no, no. So now I'm so scared. I think the bot's name was TT. Fine. She was so she was so fine. Shout out T T if you see this. I love you. She was so fine. And she said, baby, you okay? I said, no. She said, You want something to drink? I said, please. She said, What you want? I said, Give me a Heineken and whatever. And so she brought me a Heineken, she brought me a shot of Patron. I threw that Patron back and I'm hitting a Heineken. Now I'm in a zone. So I finally get in the booth, I plug up, doing my little thing, fight break out. Fight between the girls, the dancers. Some chicks from Atlanta versus some chicks from Atlanta, and they going, I'm somebody, so they're going in. They going bad. And all I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I can't get the official out. I can't get it out. I'm just oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So now somebody in the club, like, I don't know who that DJ is doing all that damn barking, but he a vibe. Oh shit. I don't know what's going on. I have no clue. I'm so I'm I'm out of there. I'm just in my little vibe, and I'm just vibing. But this fight is going on. So James says, Will, like, hey yo, I like this kid. I don't know who he is, but I like this kid. Bring him back. That was on a Wednesday, if I'm not mistaken. Two days later, I come back on a Friday. Same bartender. She said, baby, you okay? I said, I think so. I'm a little better. She said, I'm gonna take care of you. Same thing. Heineken, Patron, same thing. No fight this time. I'm trying to say, Mr. Official, I can't say it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I can't say it. That's how that shake him over. I can't say it. The next thing you know, Portia. Portia says, This motherfucker raw. She go tell James. James said, oh no, that's my guy. Now mind you, we ain't really met like a. Yeah, we had the one. They're like, yo, that nigga raw. James, oh no, that's that's my guy. But that's the night that I finally met him. And that's how it all came about. I was drunk and I'm trying to say, oh fit. I can't say it. I'm just bleeding out. I'm just oh oh oh oh and I just kept going. That's a story right there. That's a story right now. And I didn't even realize that I was doing it. Once I realized I was doing it, and I'm like, oh shit, people they like. They feel it. They feeling it. Definitely. I'm like, I ain't gonna lose my voice. Let me just record it. So I went in the studio and I recorded it, and I had one of my dogs put a little effect on it. So that's why sounds like, oh, uh, oh, that's why I sound like it's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How did you how did you get a 99 gem? How did that come about? There was um there's a lot of people behind the scenes that helped with that, a lot of people. But how it really all popped off for me, Will, like I said earlier, he was at the station. Will were always champion for me with the program director. Yeah, you know, it just got nasty, he's gonna be a problem, blah, blah, blah, blah. Between him, shot to DJ Greo, um, and there was a lot of other people behind the scenes that were involved. Um, and unfortunately, when Will passed, um the program director remembered who I was. And, you know, Grio, he helped in that. And then there's a lot of other cats. Shot the D Tree, shot the fence. Um, I'm talking about a lot of cats. Um, a lot of cats. Suicide, um, it's just a lot of there was a company back in the day called Fat Man Promotions, all those guys. Fat Man, yeah, I remember, yeah. Fat Man Promotions, all those guys, Doc Fresh, all those guys. They were all instrumental in that. And after Will passed, like a couple weeks later, I got a call. They're like, hey, um, how would you like mixing on the station? And I dropped the phone. I thought it was a joke. I thought somebody was playing on the phone. And when I realized it wasn't a joke, I said, man, when you want me there, I come right now. And it was Derek Baker. Shout out to Derrick Baker. He said, no, no, no, I come Sunday. I said, okay. And I was in there like swim well. I like my hands never sweat when I play. The first time I stepped in that building and gripped the turntables, my hands sweating like crazy. I was that scared.

SPEAKER_02 24:55

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:57

Now, DJ, nasty, of course. How you was able to turn it into a business?

SPEAKER_01 25:06

Uh yeah, it's a business boy with you. Yeah, I mean, I just learned. I don't know at all. Right. But I mean, the thing about me, if I don't know something, I just shut up. And I watch. Okay. I'm a great student. So I sat back and I watched guys like Khaled, Ross, Luke. I just studied. And just studied their stories and studied how they got to the point that they're at.

SPEAKER_02 25:45

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 25:46

And I just took a little bit of Luke, a little bit of Khaled, a little bit of Ross, a little bit of Trick, a little bit of Flow Rider, a little bit of Pitbull. All of the business ventures, I just took a little bit of it and put it on my own gumbo. You know what I'm saying? So a little bit of them is me. You know what I'm saying? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 26:14

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:16

Like, I always pay homage. I always, I always pay homage. That's just me. I be green if I ain't do that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I always show love to everybody who did it before me, who doing it now, because they're doing it better than me. Or we on the same level. The people under me that's gonna do it better than me. I just always show love. You know what I'm saying? Always. But when it comes to the OGs, like me and trick like this, but I respect dog on another level. I DJ for Ross. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But ain't never a time where I tell dog, thank you. He be thinking I'm crazy. But I'm like, dog, like you don't understand what you did for me. You don't even know what you did for me. So any opportunity I get a chance to say, I appreciate you, I'm gonna tell you. You're gonna tell him.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

That's what's up. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Like, that's just me. That's just been embedded in me my whole life. So appreciative. Being appreciative. Yeah. Yeah. So now you the you the you with the program director, the system, what is it? 99 Jam. Yeah. Never thought that would never never saw that in that. That's awesome, man.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

With these upcoming people that's like DJs or in this, in this, what I want to, I guess I could say this, this, this atmosphere with what you do, what you do. Can you see something in an individual nasty that they don't see themselves, but you but you see that they got the skills to do?

SPEAKER_01 28:00

Everybody got it. You gotta tap into it.

SPEAKER_02 28:04

Right.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

Everybody got it. You know, like I literally just said, I never saw myself being an assistant program director. In my eyes, that wasn't it for me.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

Right.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

I never saw that. Somebody else saw it.

SPEAKER_02 28:21

Somebody else saw it, okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

And now I was like, okay, we're gonna give you the opportunity. But see, with me, I've done that my whole career. I've given people opportunities. Now, if you fumble, that's on you. That's on you. But I've given millions of people opportunity. It's all in what you do with the opportunity. You know what I'm saying? Like, even now at a radio station, I done hire a lot of people. You know what I'm saying? Like, I could be selfish and nah, I want to do this interview with this celebrity. Anytime I get a call, the artist coming, and I pass that to everybody else. Because that's just me. That's what's up. It ain't about me. It's about the team. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like that. It's about the team. Like that. If the team win, everybody win. Damn right. Damn right. You know what I'm saying? Like, but a lot of people don't have that mind state. And it's no disrespect, but a lot of it sometimes people gotta grow into that. And a lot of people ain't grown to that point yet. And it's cool. You know what I'm saying? It's gonna come eventually. Some people grow faster than others. It's like a plant. You order it, right? It grow fast. Some plants don't grow that fast. That don't mean it ain't growing. That's the same thing in the DJ game, same thing in the music game, same thing in the content game. Some people move faster than others. Some people move slow and precise. Right. Ross taught me that. He said it in an interview. He said, I don't give a damn if it takes 30 years to get to where I gotta go. As long as I'm moving the right way. Slowly but correctly. You know what I'm saying? I'm moving the right way. It don't matter how long it takes. It took me 18 years at ADR. 18 years. And now I'm in the position. You know what I'm saying? Like when I started, I was an intern. I wasn't even an intern. I was what are they calling people? I was a contractor. So I wasn't even, I literally wasn't even hired. I was like, work for hire. Work for hire. You know what I'm saying? You weren't getting paid.

SPEAKER_02 31:07

I heard you said something like that before too in one of the interviews that sometimes it ain't always about a dollar. Like, I gotta, I gotta get paid. It's like sometimes you you the way you said it, and it made a lot of sense. It's like long as you keep grinding, it'll come.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

People don't understand. One thing I learned in almost 30 years doing this, I'm almost 30 years in. Money come and go. I can make a hundred thousand next week. I'm gonna spend it in a month. It's gonna be gone. Right? But I got a relationship with Zoe. That's more important. You know what I'm saying? People don't get it. It ain't cost me nothing to build a relationship. And that relationship way more valuable than the hundred thousand I'm gonna make next week. Facts. People don't get it. Way more valuable because he could put me on some game that may bring me $300,000. Yeah. So as I'm over here bugged out about this hundred, uh, again, slow and steady but precise.

SPEAKER_02 32:33

Slow and steady but precise.

SPEAKER_01 32:35

Dog could put me on a play that could potentially make me a half a million dollars. What I'm tripping about a hundred for. What I'm tripping about that for? Good talk. Dog say, all right, Nancy, hey man, I need you to run this play. This is a free play, but this may catapult you to XYZ.

SPEAKER_02 32:57

XYZ.

SPEAKER_01 32:58

Man, I'm on the plate. Let's go. Let's do it. Damn. I like this boy. I'm just saying, like, I'm gonna give you a prime example. I never count anybody's pockets, right? Fat may fat boy may be on a play of, man, I'm gonna go get 250. 20, 50,000. Listen, my boy. I don't want nothing from you, but whatever I talk to you about, I don't want nothing more. I don't want nothing less. Right. Because my relationship with you is worth more than what you could ever pay me. Ever in life. With you in rooms that you, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Like, until my dog put me and said, This my guy, when you come, you hot, you don't talk to you talk to him. That's worth more than what he what you paying me. And I'm indebted to you because of that.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

That's some drools there.

SPEAKER_01 34:06

Yeah, but see, but but see, that'd be the problem. That be the problem with with us as people. We don't think like that. And again, it took me a minute to get to this point. Right. Because I didn't know. And then I felt like, oh, somebody owed me. You know what I'm saying? Like, somebody owed me something because I'm DJ nasty, and I say you owe me. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. And I had to humble myself, like, nah, I owe you. You owe me. I owe you.

SPEAKER_02 34:41

Man, I like this. Damn.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

Last, let me ask you this here. How you feel about Did Cotty music scene? Hip hop scene in Dead Cotty. How you feel about that right now? I mean, I love it. I think that we have to get more. Hold on, I'll take a bump for this one. This is a good question.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

Take your time, take your time.

SPEAKER_01 35:10

I think that the music scene, the music has always been there. The problem is, is that we don't have the relationships. We don't have the I've never thought of, I've never seen or thought, I don't believe in gatekeeping. I don't believe that. I believe you gatekeep yourself. And the reason I feel like that is because the the problem with the the industry is this. This the problem. Back in his day, there was no such thing as this. Unless you had a big ass brick. And if you had a brick, you selling dope. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You selling brick. You know what I'm saying? I had that radio shack too. I had a radio shack one, too. The only way you get that, you selling dope. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. It's the only way. Back in them days, you had to go out every single night. You had to be out. Because that's the only way you can get your stuff heard or played.

SPEAKER_02 36:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:20

You had to go to the radio station and knock on the door. You had to go to the club and see the DJs, the suicides, the cool G's, the grios, the the uh spoon. You had to go see them. Yeah. The walk love, the crunch love. You had to go see all of them. But the problem now is what I'm going out for, man. Shit. Let me just post.

SPEAKER_02 36:49

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 36:50

I'm good. Yeah. So you've lost the essence of what this game is really about. You've lost it because of this. You know what I'm saying? You think this is the co you think this is the dope game, or it's the quick way for me to get the way I got this the quick way. It's the way it just fucked you up. You don't even know it. Your mind so corrupted and so fucked up, you can't even see it. Because they done bamboozled you to think, oh, I need numbers, I need analytics, I need followers, I need all this bullshit. Your mind so fucked up and corrupted, you believe that. You think that's the way. The way is, Papa Zoe, can you help me? Can you help me? I need to figure out a way to get in the nasty. Can you help me? I ain't got no money, but I'm asking for help. We don't do that. Oh man, I'm I'm in dog DM, damn, dog, dog, dog don't want to respond, man. I DM the nigga.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

SPEAKER_01 39:14

You bugged out. So, like with the music scene, it's literally the same way. We as Miami have bugged out. You know what I'm saying? Like, we bugged out.
