SPEAKER_01 0:42

I feel that, I feel that, man. I did the same thing, you know what I'm saying? Like, life's been kicking ass recently. You know, saying everybody and stuff. And then you gotta just like you gotta fall back because sometimes things are just more important. Like, speaking that, congratulations on becoming a father. Um, you should have a boy or a girl.

unknown 0:56

I had a boy.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

Oh, you got lucky on the first rant. First, first try, man. I'm jealous right now. I'm jealous right now, bro. I got I got two girls, and I blame them for all the gray hair I got. That's why I'm wearing this hat right now, ladies and gentlemen. Hit my mic, I'm so angry about it. Like, the hat feat, though. Yeah, thanks, thanks. I wear this when I go out to the bars. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was like, I used to have a uh raccoon skin hat when I was a kid, and I was like, I wonder if they still sell them. So I found it on Amazon, it's been on ever since.

SPEAKER_00 1:24

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

Hell yeah. So uh you were you were doing music out here for a minute, like it was you, SJ, and I think were you doing shows with YB in them too? I did a few, yeah. Okay, okay. So, what was your experience doing shows in um Kit Tap County and how do you feel about the scene out here?

SPEAKER_00 1:44

My experience was I think it was cool, you know. I think it was real cool. You know, there's throughout all of them, there was uh a lot of uh hidden talent that I I didn't know about personally, you know, because I kind of just know about my little, you know, my partners that be making music, you know, like SJYB K vibes is one of the homies. Um I fuck with uh Cut, I fuck with Jameer, you know what I'm saying? So like all of those niggas, like I grew up with them. Those are those are my homies. I know that they be making music, but I also discovered a lot of other like cool little local artists. Now, I mean I'm not I'm not saying that like I'd be like slapping their music religiously, but like I was like, oh damn, like you know, they got some cool little talent and shit out here. So I thought that was pretty dope. Um shit. I'd say, yeah, through my experiences of doing it, it was cool, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know, it's shit, it's Bremerton. If you grew up out here, you know how that shit go.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Yeah, well, I remember one time, bro. I was I caught you coming out of Eden, right? Like you guys were doing a show. Um, you already did want to do the show at Eden. You was upset because I was talking to you before that, and then they start fighting inside the bar, and you coming out, you're like, I hate doing shows out here. People don't know how to fucking act.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

Like, do you remember that night? Yep, actually I do. And it and you know what? You ain't never lied because honestly, it's like it's not that I hate doing them out here, but it's just like it be the same shit every time. You know what I'm saying? It's like, you know, doing shit like that to me, it's not about being, you know, being the biggest, the baddest, being macho man or nothing like that. Like, if you're trying to do shit like that, you're trying to go out and have fun, have a good time, right? Yeah, and niggas can't have a good time if motherfuckers is out there fucking it up, you know what I'm saying? Especially the people that's like you know, like the myself and the other artists, like when we do that type of shit, we look at it as like a as like a job. Like, this is the shit that you want to do for a career, right? So you treat that shit like it's a business event, you don't treat that shit like you're going out kicking it at the club or partying and shit. Well, at least I at least I don't. I can't speak for the rest of the motherfuckers, but you know, like to me, it's like there's a certain type of way that you gotta carry yourself when you're doing that type of shit. So yeah, that shit it do it, it it was irritating that day. I ain't gonna lie.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

Yeah, yeah. You was frustrated, bro. And I but I felt that it's like we can't have nothing out here. It's like it's like you gotta tell the people, look, if you're gonna come out here and want to fight somebody because they scuffed your shoe or they bumped you, stay home. Like, I remember I went to a show, bro, and it was like it was I think it was last year, it was like YB, or no, it was um what's his name? Gosh, Frankie. It's Frankie. He was doing a show or whatever, right? And so I got there early. You know, I like to go to the shows, bro. You guys are always gonna see me at the shows. I'm I'm trying to show support. But there was like seven people in there, right? I got there a little early and I got bumped by this dude because I was getting some water. I was talking to some woman. I'm like, all right, and I look around, there ain't enough people in him in here for him to bump me. Then he kind of bumped me again. I was like, first in my head, I'm like, yo, they didn't check me when I came in the door. I was like, let me get the fuck out of here. You know what I'm saying? Because he he he upset because I'm talking to the one the two of the one of the two women that are in this place right now. But it's like when you do get people to show up, everybody wants to come with that like weird attitude, like, yeah, and then they want to fight and throw off everything, and then we can't have shows nowhere.

SPEAKER_00 5:12

Yeah, it's like look, bro, like just go there to have fun, enjoy the event, you know, support your people that you came to see. It's like, you know, that it ain't about you know being macho man and shit. Like, I don't know. I feel like motherfuckers just be too, they they gotta like some prove something to somebody. I never really been like that. I don't got shit to prove to nobody. I'm like, I'm not very comfortable with who the fuck I am. I don't know what's up with these niggas, bro. They're they weird.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

Well, I think I I look at it like this because you know, it's a military town. I'm not gonna lie, like there's always fights, but you know, in the streets, you know, somebody might respect that dude or that girl, whatever, when she's like, you know, around people in someone's house. You may be in Westside Bremerton chilling. But then when you get into the club and like a for a woman, she might see someone badder in there, or for a dude, you might see somebody that got more money than you, and the only thing you can do is be like, Well, I can fight better than you, you can't beat me, so they'll ruin the whole night for everybody.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

I I just never I can't understand that though, because it's like shit, you can always make some more money, shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, shit. You can't knock it, ask the nigga how he got it, go figure it out. You know what I'm saying? Like, there ain't nothing to hate on. Shit. I I never understood that. Like, but I mean, teach their own people, you know, people do what they gotta do.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

We can't have nothing. I remember they had one show at Eden, and this was like last year. I stopped going to the Eden shows, but um, they had one where there's a girl, she maced everybody. Like, oh shit, she was just yeah, I just started spraying the mace. And you know, Eden's for sale up for sale now.

SPEAKER_00 6:43

Yeah, um, I'm I'm pretty cool with the with the owner of that spot, and yeah, she is, yeah. Chloe's cool as fuck. I heard she was selling it, and I think that's dope, you know. I mean, she she started a little cool little little vibe out here for for everybody, you know. Most motherfuckers from out in Bremerton is just used to McLeod's in the garage. That's all them niggas know. You feel me? So she started some shit that was like, I'm gonna change how how these motherfuckers move out here a little bit. But like you were saying before, we can't have nothing nice out here in Bremerton because motherfuckers be fucking it up for everybody. Like she tried to she tried to do it for everybody, you know, like not just be a place where they play predominantly just rap and R ⁇ B music, you know. It's like she tried to do everything from like the EDM to the you know, the country bull riding and shit like that. I thought that was dope as fuck.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Yeah, I thought the spot was cool, and I always said it too. Every time I talk to him, and what's his name? Jeremy at the front door didn't want to listen, right? Like, because when you go to McLeod's, like you go to McLeod's, you can't see all the way in there. Like the garage, you can't see what's in the garage until you walk in there, and then by then you're already in there. It's cool. And like in McLeods, you can't see, you just see like you can see the dance floor, maybe, but you don't know if there's people back here, who's outside, or whatever. When you walk into Eden, you see the whole layout. So when you walk in, you only you don't see nobody in there, you're like, uh, well, I'm leaving too. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, they should have made it more mysterious, but hey, nobody listens to me. Like, I don't know what I'm doing. You know what I'm saying? Don't forget to follow the nightly strange.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

I'm just saying, don't forget to follow the nightly strange.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

Uh it's all about self-promotion. I mean, I was talking to this uh this 25-year-old girl I be I be hollering at, and she was like, Yeah, you should buy it. And I'm like, I don't know if I want those kind of problems. Because I would have some rules. I'd be like, look, man, like I don't I just don't understand it. Like, people always want to come out and fight, bro, but like we've ruined so many places. Like, we can't perform at the Charleston, but clouds clouds won't even give you the chance at the time of day. What's that? You could probably only perform at the village in Eden, and unless Doc puts you on somewhere. And so, do you how do you feel about the Charleston ones? Really? Someone else, I think YB probably did the Charleston too.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Uh I think I think uh Jameer and and I think YB did it too.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Really?

SPEAKER_00 8:54

Yeah. Yeah, when I when the owner of that owner of that spot's hella cool too. The owner of that spot's hella cool too. I met him. He um he's he's hella dope. And he wants to kind of he wanted to kind of expand that shit a little bit and get more of a different vibe. Because you know, like if you're from Bremerton, you know the Charleston is like that's that that grungy, you know, metal, you know, that's the the type of vibe that they be giving off, you know.

SPEAKER_01 9:22

You know what I'm saying? Like he was in the shower earlier rocking out.

SPEAKER_00 9:25

I'm just like, bro, it's 9 30 in the morning, like he said, what you got going on, bro?

SPEAKER_01 9:31

Yeah, no, I'm cool with it, man. I'd rather him do that than run around with his pants sagging down, trying to do what everybody else is doing out here. You know what I'm saying? He's a cool kid. He just won the war through the NAACP. He's about to fly off to Chicago, go play the drums. You know, he's he's I raised him right, hopefully. You know what I'm saying? As long as he has a baby and stuff. So I know you saw the kids up county rapper list. You said what? I know you saw the kids up county rapper list.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

Oh, yeah, for sure. That's all everybody was talking about on my damn Facebook feed for like a month.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

Yeah, I was so mad that they put my name on there twice. So upset. I was like, uh, but they put my old rap name on it, right? They like they put Macadoja one on there. Then I got kind of hyped. I was like, yo, y'all don't know about that. Y'all don't know about it. Yo, but the whole thing is, how did you feel about it? Like, we did you like you're like, hey, I don't care, or were you kind of felt some type of way because you wasn't on it?

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Honestly, I think the best part of it about for me was the was the comments. I'm a I'm a comment reading ass nigga. Like, if I don't, if I don't like the post, share the post, and none of that shit, I'm just a comment reading ass nigga, bro. Like, I I like to see what motherfuckers is really in there talking about, see how these motherfuckers' opinions work and shit. Cause I just always been that way, bro. I I be sitting back, I just watch how people move around me, you know what I'm saying? And so, like, when I started reading that shit, I was like, damn, I'm like, there's a lot of secret society hating ass niggas out here. What's up with that? You know what I'm saying? But to me, I think that list hella fucking Courtney. I'm not, I'm not with it. I don't care. I don't uh to keep it a bug, like I said, I know, like, and this is like to me, it's it's no disrespect to the older generation of people who was doing music out in Bremen before me, but like I don't know none of none of the people that are on there except the people I grew up with, and there was like four, you know what I'm saying? Make no, like three, it was like three of them, and I don't know them, so I can't necessarily speak on you know what their talents like, what they did for out here, you know what I'm saying? Like, to me, I thought that shit was corny. I feel like whoever made that shit was doing it just to get a rise out of motherfuckers in the city and just like and just start just to stir some shit up. They I say it was a smart play on their part, but like you just you just unlocked a whole nother level of bullshit that didn't nobody need to deal with out here.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

I was so mad they did it during tax season two. I was like, fuck, bro, my inbox got flooded. They like, yo, D Mac that like the only reason I started doing the show again is because uh direct was like, Yo, I gotta get on there, we gotta talk about it. I was like, Man, I'm kind of doing uh the web's network stuff right now, so I was like, All right, let me pop this back up. But like, yeah, like you know, YB said the same thing. He's like, I ain't never heard of like you know, 80 of these people, and it makes sense because all the people that were on the list were from when I mean Doc, you know, shout out to Doc. We was doing the Kid Tap County Uncut. That's when people was watching cable TV. That tells you how old that that list is, you know what I'm saying? But they you know what I'm saying? Like, we was we had a coast to coast on all the access channels, you know what I'm saying? Like showing on every state, but I'm looking at the list and I'm calling it out because like they didn't have you on there, SJ wasn't on there, K-Vives, YB, Sin wasn't on there, and I'm like, and I'm I'm like, these this is the new generation, you know what I'm saying, of rappers out here.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

That's good. Motherfuckers be stuck in their ways, bro. Like, like I'm gonna keep it real. I'm not like super hip to the new generation of music myself, like shit. I like a lot of the old shit. Like, I mean, I listen to some of these like newer artists that are like my age and shit like that, that are really making music and shit and they're really popping. But for the most part, bro, I'm like an old soul. I don't I listen to all the old shit, you know. I'm I'm listening, I'm probably bumping some E40 when you if you if you catch me riding around, you know, I'm probably slapping some uh some old 50. Like like that's that's what I listen to, you know. Even shit older than that. I'm not I'm not really out here, you know, like I don't be trying to do too much, and I feel like with that shit, niggas was trying to do too much, but I just I personally I just don't know the old the older dudes, like I don't know them like that.

SPEAKER_01 13:30

Yeah, and so for me, I know they were school, they were school.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

Like I saw I saw uh uh I saw uh well who was that nigga, K uh KJ Kazi. I saw a few of his music videos because he was posting his shit after you know you know his little opinion on the on the whole list and shit like that. I saw a few of his music videos.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

He moves he moves like a little bitch. I'm not even gonna lie, bro. Like, I uh you you brought it up. I don't bring him up. He moved like a little bitch. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm just saying, like he could be in his feelings, I don't care. That's what he moved like, you know what I'm saying? Attention-seeking little bitch, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 14:05

Me personally, yeah, I feel like you know, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. I seen, like, I just started looking at once I once I seen the list, I had to start looking up a lot of these niggas because I ain't know a lot of these niggas, never heard of them. And so I started listening to their music and shit like that just to see what was up. And I mean, I feel like everybody just knocking, knocking another nigga down, but like when I go and I look at your shit of what you got, you ain't got nothing more than the next nigga got. So to me, it's like it's like what you what you what you woof for? Like, what you what you got a problem for?

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Because everybody wants to be number one instead of being like, you know, now they're you see, I don't know if you saw it now, they got the um, they're doing the hip hop festival now. You know what I'm saying? They're gonna be doing that.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

I did just see that yesterday. I just saw that yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 14:53

But you know, that's that's that's with direct, you know, saying Doc is a co-sponsor of that, Boomer's gonna be the host. You got Cutthroat on there. Shout out to Cutthroat and Mace. Um, and you know, they they they got together and they formed something together. You know, Jay Freeze has the event today that's going on. Um, well, it's by the time this airs, it was passed. They did it, they're gonna do it at Boom House where all the collective people, you know, there's a couple people that are trying to get together, but everyone else, like everyone the crabs in the barrel. Nobody wants to let anybody be first.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, it ain't about whether or not you you know you first or not. Nigga, if you place you, you should be thankful for that. You gotta be grateful, you know.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

Yeah, shit.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

You may not get the recognition now, but nigga, you keep grinding and doing what you already doing, you might get it later on down the road. Shit. And one thing if I if I ain't never learned anything in my life, bro, is that you're gonna get a lot more support from motherfuckers that ain't around you than the people that are actually in your city where you live, the people that that you've been knowing your whole life. It's like it's pointless to even try and what is it, to even try and make them see you. The motherfuckers really see you, they just don't give a fuck. That's okay. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

So like they told Kodak, they say pre-kodak black, but they ain't gonna they won't repost your music.

SPEAKER_00 16:07

You feel me? Shit, like first of all, he had a little I mean 15 years old. Who gives a fuck what that nigga Kodak Black on for? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't give a fuck. That nigga, that nigga, he from Florida. Niggas off the from the other side of the country. Who do I give a fuck about what that nigga got going on for? You know, if it makes sense. And like for for prime example, like one of my like I got hella siblings. So like one of my one of my sisters, she listens to uh she listens to like alternative pop music, I guess you could say. I speak that's how that's the type of shit that my sister be on. Like she's she's into like fucking what is it? Like maroon five and shit like that. Yeah, and um have you ever heard of a dude named Malcolm Todd? No, how can I trust when I go up? Give him a listen, he's interesting. So, like my sister, she she was like, Oh, yeah, I'll be listening to Malcolm Todd, take me to this concert. I'm like, Alright, cool. Like, you know, I love you for your birthday. I'll take you and one of your friends to this little concert. And keep in mind when we get there, I'm like, oh hell no, this is like Team Girl Central. I'm not fucking with this shit. I don't, I don't even want to be here. Like, why did I even agree to take her to this dumbass shit? But I seen that they had a little bar section and it looked like a little VIP section, but it's that's really where all the parents was at. They was letting their kids do what the fuck they want to do down there on the floor and shit for the concert, and they up here chilling, drinking, or whatever. So I said, Oh yeah, how do I get up there? They said it cost$75. I said, I don't give a fuck. Give me a seat.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

Yes, yeah, give me a seat.

SPEAKER_00 17:42

I got up there, grabbed my little drink or whatever. I'm sitting there chilling, and there was these this group of there was a just a bunch of people sitting there. I'm sitting there chilling, and these two moms turned around and said, Did you bring your daughter too? I looked at them like fuck no. I said, I brought my little sister, and they were like, Oh, you're a you're a nice big brother, or whatever. And I was like, I was like, have y'all even listened to this guy? They said, Oh yeah, we've been listening to him. He's pretty good. And so I'm like, oh hell no. I'm like, these bitches is older than me. If they said he's good, he's gotta be poop. Like, I'm like, this ain't gonna be fun for me. Turns out, you know, he come out there, he do his little thing or whatever. He's actually he's cold. Like, it's just not my style of music. And that's what I feel like one of the biggest problems is out here, is that everybody just wants to like support one specific type of music, and they think that everybody should fuck with that. That's what that's where most of those people's opinion come from from that from that list. I think it's like they fuck with one specific type of music, which is okay, but like there's hella artists that do different shit that are hella dope at what they do, and they're successful, and they're successful out here.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

Like, people don't like concrete to me is the number one artist out of Kit Tap County. He makes horrorcore, but if you follow his page, he's always doing shows in front of you know hundreds of thousands of people, you know what I'm saying? All the time, and he's from Bremerton, like Kobe Carter. I like Kobe Carter, he makes alternative, um, kind of like alternative pop hip-hop music, and his shit is dope.

SPEAKER_00 19:11

Yeah, I listen to a little bit of his shit too.

SPEAKER_01 19:13

Yeah, Kobe's good, and I think people out here, they want to they always want to be from somewhere else. Nobody wants to be like, I've heard hella artists. I don't want to be known as a Bremerton artist. I'm like, fool, you're from Bremerton. Be a Bremerton artist. You ain't gotta stay here because, like you said, you can't count on your friends and family to support you. They'll say the first they'll your initial start, yeah, we got you. Cool, they'll show up to your first show. But after that, everything else is on you. Like, even now, when I do comedy, you know, my comedy show, it's either packed or about 75% packed, right? But I always have my friends that I see, oh man, I gotta make it your comedy show. Oh man, I gotta make it your comedy show. And I'm like, bro, I don't really care if you come or not. Because I, you know, we got regulars, I got people that come to see us all every every month. You know what I'm saying? And that's what you gotta get. You gotta find strangers. And you know, I I I hate I feel bad for rappers. They're like, hey, we should follow each other and share each other's music. Fuck that shit. Don't ask a rapper to do nothing for you. Like, yeah, and dudes is fighting over pennies out here, you know what I'm saying? It's like I always I always talk shit I do because I I see I see what everyone could be if they followed a program. But you know what I'm saying, it's like everybody's just they don't they don't want to work with each other. And I got tired of telling people how to do it. I was like, look, you can do it like this, you do it like that. So I just started doing my own thing. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, I'm gonna just show you motherfuckers.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

At the end of the day, there's there is a like with the social media shit, there's an algorithm. When it comes to the music industry, there is a right way to do things, and there's a wrong way to do things. And it's like I can say that's part of the reason why, like, I guess you could say I stepped back a little bit from from doing what I do and started focusing on my real life shit for a little bit. Because, like, yeah, it's cool to do, you know, all these local shows and events and shit, but it's like after that, what you got? Like, most of them, most niggas that I know that are doing music right now have a vision of doing something elsewhere. Now, me personally, I would never in my life say I'm not from Bremerton because that's crazy as fuck. That's like you going to the NBA and motherfuckers asking, where did he come from? You gonna say Seattle nigga? We all know you didn't go to Radio Beach. What the fuck are you talking about? You know what I'm saying? It's like, why would you not like you you gotta love where you're from, bro? That's what that's what creates you, that's what makes you who you are. You know what I'm saying? Shit. Even living fucking 10 minutes away in Port Orchard, nigga. Motherfuckers be like, Oh, you from Port Orchard? Fuck no, nigga, I'm from Bremerton. I just live out here, it's quieter. Less bullshit out here, but more crackheads. Yeah, it's like less bullshit, same amount of crackheads. That's all it is. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

No, I got I got I got homies like that. Like, no, I feel that because I got homies that live in Port Orchard, they're like, Yeah, I'm away from the BS. I'm like, Yeah, yeah, I'm in a thick of it. I like I like the messiness. Um I'm off in the cut. You know what I'm saying? It's not like I live on fucking uh Houston and Rainier. You know what I'm saying? Like just watching good crazy shit happen every day.

SPEAKER_00 22:10

But like I see it's out the way.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

Yeah. So what do you what are you into now? Are you are you gonna come back into music? What's the plan?

SPEAKER_00 22:18

So still still fucking with the music. Like, I'm always forever fuck with the music because that's like it's something that I genuinely love to do. You know what I'm saying? Um, as far as like like my plans for it, I there's a lot of artists that I want to fuck with when it comes to making music because like I mean, as you know, most people know, I think there's like maybe I think I've only made songs with three of the artists out here that I know.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

I don't know, you and SJ made hella songs together.

SPEAKER_00 22:50

I'd say we made a we made a few. I wouldn't say hella, because we as much as long as I've known this nigga, we could have made way more music. But we just you know, we be on different shit. You know what I'm saying? Um YB, I've been that's my dog, and we I don't even think we have a song together at all. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Jameer. I've been thinking that nigga was dope since we was in like high school, because I've been known that nigga can rap too, so we ain't got a song. Um I made I did one with uh Frankie, I did one with um uh who else did I do one with? Damn. Shout out YB, Jameer, and Frankie. Facts, those are my dogs though. But um even SJ like shit. I just wanna I wanna make more music with with people with the with the sound, bro, because it's to me, it's like once you once you put the right sounds together, bro, the shit the shit gonna go way further than you think about it. And it's not necessarily just about doing these local shows and shit like that. Like that shit was cool. I had fun doing it for a little bit. It got to a point where I thought it was well, I was like, yeah, yeah, nah, this ain't for me. And motherfuckers was like, well, you don't want to do shows? I said, that's not what I'm saying, because like I done done, you know, I done did shows here, I done did shows in Seattle, I did a show or two in Tacoma, and I uh I did a show out in Walla Walla. Um I did uh uh I opened for I don't know if you're familiar with them, but for Dizzy Wright, DJ Hopper, yeah, DJ Hopper in in Denver out there, and that shit was fucking lit. That shit was active, and I made hella different connections with a lot of different people just based off of doing that alone. And once I did that, I was like, ah yeah, I don't want to just stay in Bremerton forever because like we're gonna see that we're gonna come across the same shit every weekend, every time we do a show, it's gonna be the same shit, same people. It's like you know who's gonna be there before you even post that you're doing the show there. You're like, all right, so when I post this one, I know who's gonna show up to this one. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you want to meet new people. The goal is to get out and do other shit and you know, go to other places and shit. Shout out YB. He I think he got a show tomorrow with with Blueface, uh, OT OT Genesis, Stunner Girl. You know what I'm saying? Now that's some type of shit that niggas want to be doing. That's the shit that niggas should be doing with their music. It's it's not always about keeping it local, like every now and then, yeah, do some shit for for you know the people close to you. They can't make it out to your other shit. But what to me, it's like it shit got played out real quick, especially because the goal is to to make this shit um a financial game. You don't wanna you don't want to just be doing this shit for fun forever, nigga. You don't want to turn 45 and just be rapping for shits and giggles, nigga. That's not how that shit goes.

SPEAKER_01 25:43

Trying to keep up with the kids and stuff, like it's crazy. I've done more shows in Seattle than I've done in Bremerton when I was rapping. Yeah, I believe it. Yeah, I got lucky. You know, it's crazy. I just popped into um Whalen days last year. I came to see concrete or whatever, and somebody didn't show up, and so they were like, Yo, you want to get on stage and perform? I was like, at Whalen days? I was like, all right, bro, it's hella out of breath, overweight and shit. Uh but I did my thing, you know what I'm saying? But it's like I still try to show up, and but yeah, that's always the goal to get out of Bremerton because after a while, people have reserves about you here, you know. I'm saying they'd be like, Well, you know, you keep doing shows in the same place and da da da da. But that's that's always the goal. But I just feel rappers out here are lazy, and I say I call them out lazy all the time, like for sure, bro. All you you gotta post like you, you gotta post like you're trying to win.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

Yeah, it's a because it's a it's a different time, bro. It's not like motherfuckers can get the hustle by, you know, going to print CDs for real and really go post up somewhere and people come by and buy a CD. You sell a T D for a dollar or or or 5075 cents or five bucks or whatever the fuck you're selling it for. You know what I'm saying? You can't do that type of shit no more because now there's all these different streaming platforms, and the only way to get your shit out there on these streaming platforms is gonna be to market yourself. Hold on, myself real quick.

SPEAKER_01 27:01

You good? I mean, you could still like people don't realize you can make like a flyer of yourself like this, right? And put a QR code on there, and then people can just scan the QR code as they mob past you. You can have your music playing as long as you have it clean on the side of the street. There's so many avenues. Like, I mean, like, even it's Frankie, right? He don't even realize what he he has in the grasp of his hands because like he goes, he he makes these little videos, right? And he gets hella plays. I'm like, bro, all he gotta do is go live for an hour. You know what I'm saying? He already all these people have a following, they're just not utilizing it. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 27:36

Not everybody knows the method, you feel me? And yeah, it's and it's all good. Like, for me personally, it's it's hard for me to get with the method because I'm not really into social media like that. Like, and it sounds hella weird because you're like, nigga, you're a part of the generation with the social medias and all that shit like that. But it's like I personally feel like all that shit's ruining my generation, it is in the generations to come. That's how I feel about it, and it sucks because it's like, but that's also where my generation's making the most fucking money is from that damn social media stitch, so it's like, damn, like, do I want to be a part of it or do I not really want to be a part of it? Cause like I don't really, I don't really like that shit. Cause I'm like I said, I'm a comment section reading ass nigga. Once you start, you know, developing that following and you start getting that interaction and shit, bro. I'm gonna be a comment reading ass nigga. And I'm not always the kindest person, you know what I'm saying? I like you could be real cool, calm, and collective, but sometimes you say the wrong shit to me, I'm I'm off that.

SPEAKER_01 28:34

Like it's because I got time for it, I got time online for thinking about it, bro. Like, I don't want to be online either. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to be out doing all this stuff. Like, I'd rather just be at home playing Grand Theft Auto, chilling out. But like the stuff I want to pursue, I have to be out there. So if I'm gonna be out there and be online, I'm gonna go hard as fuck on that shit because they have to. You can't just post your song one time, you know, wait a couple hours, like, I'm about to be fired, you come back, you got four plays. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just what it is. Like, people have to see it. It's an out you're fighting an algorithm. And the more content you put into this algorithm, the more people will see it.

SPEAKER_00 29:07

Yep, and that, and also just it's about marketing yourself, man. Like, uh the one thing I feel like we is uh as artists, especially out here in our area, is like we just lack on really like putting ourselves out there. It's like, and I I was listening to um when you would ask why be that same thing, like, is it like more of a fear of rejection, or is it just like you just don't really feel the need to do it? You know, I feel like most of us is just like, you know, it's like shit, who knows? Like, because it's you might just not want to look corny.

SPEAKER_01 29:45

Like, you might some people might feel like, hey, I'm begging people to listen to them. Nah, bro, it's it's called advertisement.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

The way that I look at it is like the way that I look at it is it takes money to make money. So now when you look at it like this, you can market yourself on you could run them little Facebook or TikTok ad promos if you want to, but it's like if everybody's smart enough now to use like Distro Kid, United Masters, and all this other bullshit, why are you not paying to market your shit on a radio station in Texas or a radio station in this place or a radio station in this place? Because shit, if you feel like you ain't getting no love here where you live at, bruh, I promise you, there's gonna be a lot of motherfuckers in other places that really fuck with your shit, but you gotta you gotta try it out. Like I was talking about fans. I was talking with uh with my little brother about that shit. He was like, because he asked me, like, where you get the most plays on your music at? He said, probably Seattle, huh? I said, What? I said, fuck no. He said, why not? I said, I said, I don't really know nobody out there like that for real. Like, I know a few people from out there, but it ain't because of music, you know, it's because other shit. But I was like, bro, I done posted my music on in on places like in Arizona. Uh uh, I want to say Texas is one of those places too. Um, my shit get played more in in those places than it get played out here, which I thought was dope. But you know, it's like the people this this fucking with my shit out here is like those is like my people for real.

SPEAKER_01 31:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 31:14

You know, I I mean, shit, I don't know if niggas be hating on my music or not. Shit, I don't I don't know about it.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

Savage, what up, Savage? Yeah, yeah, you just pop. I saw a black dude at my back door. I was like, ah, gunless. He said, ah, I'm lacking. Yeah. So Savage, man, I appreciate you being on my show. Uh, hopefully, I can get you on here again. You got any shout outs you want to send to anybody?

Yeah, um, other than that, man, shout out my family, shout out everybody that you know that supports the music industry, man. It shit ain't easy for for motherfuckers like us, but shit, without y'all, motherfuckers wouldn't have that shit. Without the people in them comment sections, niggas wouldn't have none of that shit. You know what I'm saying? And without niggas like D Mac Uno with the nightly strange, niggas wouldn't have shit like this. So yeah, you know, just keep it pushing, keep it player. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 32:25
