[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that is fine because, uh, this is what I wanna do. And when it comes to music, I realized that I had forgot to tell you in my earlier video that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My music is finally up on Spotify now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have three songs that is up on Spotify, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My full album will come out February 7th. They will also be on all other streaming platforms. But you can find three of my songs there now. I know people have been asking for my music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Spotify for so many years and I've always promised that it will happen. But that too has been like a huge blockage in me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go from just making music because it's fun to actually release it and it becomes something serious. And that has been an issue with both the painting and the music. It was something that I did just because it was fun. I didn't think of it any like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that was supposed to become something real, and then it did, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I'm gonna start tearing down the walls when it comes to singing and painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna be my top two priorities for the months to come. And that's also because the winter is the perfect time for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For doing music and for painting because it's like something you do a lot within. Just close yourself in the studio and just create and I just love that and the summer, the energy of summer is a little bit more screaming. It's harder to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hear the voice of your heart when the energy is so loud all around. But now it's so quiet and it's easier to just, uh, do something creative, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting darker again, I have to make it lighter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this thing about breaking the walls that you have built up for something that you want to do, but you just, you're not doing it because you just keep pushing it to the future. Maybe it can inspire you to, to just do it. Do you wanna break?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The walls with me. Almost everyone have something that they go and think about that they want to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I just would be so happy if there's some of you watching, eh, that felt that you could relate to how I felt around making music and painting, you know, the wall that I built up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you also felt inspired to start breaking your own walls for whatever it is that you want to do, there's no better time to start than now. Take five minutes. Five minutes and do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I promise you that these five minutes later on gonna turn to ten minutes and suddenly you have opened up this flow again. And


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, my most important video that I did with all of you. I feel like I talk about that video a lot, but that's because I really like that video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the video is called A Message That Will Change Your Life. And I will link it, uh, here somewhere. I know a lot of you have been watching it, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She felt like a mother to all of us on this earth. She felt so wise and so calm and yeaah, I can't describe. She just went straight into my heart and I know she went straight into so many other hearts as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where she shares a lot of her music. She's such a good musician. She sings, she plays the pianos, she plays the guitar, and she does everything. She...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Melinda Combs, and I will put the link up here and also in the video description of this video. So you can go follow her and watch her beautiful videos. I remember after seeing her message and after publishing the video, I had this dream of going and visiting her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By a fire with her, interviewing her, letting her share some of her wisdom. I feel like she has gone through a lot and she, I think she has a lot to share with the world. That would be like a dream come true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, I just wanted to share her channel with you guys because I think it's important in these times to share beautiful things that makes you smile. So now I think I'm gonna go upstairs for a little while and just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And take care of Nanook and make sure he has everything you need. But I feel very safe knowing that he's home with you one now. Just sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I... I'm blown away every time I post a video to see your response.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are under emergency conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Extraordinary means are required to deal with a threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was actually charged to find whatever you've got in the labs, whatever you've got, uhm, in your agency. Even if it's not operational, put it into the fight. We need it. It might help us. We need to, we need to deal with the threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you knew that it was U.S. person related, it would be automatically encrypted. That was part of the design of ThinThread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those short days and weeks after 9-11, I put together a two-page classified implementation plan to put ThinThread into the fight, and I presented it to Maureen Baginski.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of our responses were ever electronic. None of our responses were in a form that would be recorded or saved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was kind of a modified cursive, and she says they've gone with a different program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With grave concerns about what are we doing, Tom? I thought we're supposed to have a warrant. I'm being directed to deploy what's normally foreign intelligence outward facing equipment. I'm being now directed to place it on internal networks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made one final attempt, one final appeal to Maureen Baginski, and she demurred. And she simply said, call the Office of General Counsel, which I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, I want to, I want to speak to the lead attorney. She'd give me the name. I want to speak. It was Vito Patenza.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he proceeded to tell me, you don't understand. All the lawyers have approved it. It's legal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are under emergency emergency conditions. Extraordinary, extraordinary means are required to deal with a threat. We just need the data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the most, the most chilling, I know often have said this part of the conversation, don't ask any more questions, Mr. Trey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within the system, my last official act for all intents and purposes was to write that formal letter to Alexander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They actually reorganized my job right out from under me and I literally was left with nothing. I had an office, I had a flag, I was a senior executive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But nothing else. No, no programs, no people, no team, no nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third rail option of going to the press was fraught with enormous peril. At a minimum, you would no doubt be fired. Or worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the dragnet surveillance, the vast bulk copy of millions and millions of phone records, email records, internet usage, and financial transactional and credit card information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the internal proper channels have been exhausted. The one final choice was to actually touch the third rail and go to the press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ultimately was referred to as just a senior official. It was sort of an agreement as to how she would couch who I was in her reporting but I was a deep, I was a deep source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm seeing these cars pull up as I look out the window. It's just after 7 a.m. in the morning and there's a dozen FBI agents and my heart's up in my throat because I realize it's now me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was, I was a direct threat to the national security of the United States. I truly had become an enemy of the state. And I'm facing a distinct prospect of having the rest of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the income I had, all the retirements gone, your life has turned upside down. You're, for Zona non grata, I ended up...

[Assistant] She was hooking. To pay down debt. Eventually the only people she owed were at her work. You know, that shithole club, the puddin' and pie. My name is Nerissa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Lily ain't around anyways, so you can run off back to the woods, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you care about her at all? She was a nice girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ran around too much. Of course I cared. I still care. I hope so. I hope you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why you fucking came here. There's nothing left for you to ruin. And I'm not in an entertaining mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, sure you will, kid. When the rivers turn coarse,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't know what Bigby's doing. If he, if he cares about it. If he even gives a shit. I don't know. I don't know why he should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know folks, we spend so much time focusing on the big front page stories that every once in a while it's nice to clip out a letter here, a letter there, and assemble those letter in the ransom note of news that is my segment, MEANWHILE.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well good news, Tim Ryan is seriously considering a 2020 bid for president. I already know what his campaign slogan will be. Tim Ryan 2020, toward a future where people know who Tim Ryan is. Now, in case you are not Tim Ryan or his immediate family,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During an appearance on CNN last night, Aaron Burnett, for some reason, pressed him for answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel any pressure for any timeline at this point. I totally get that, Tim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking about becoming a power forward for the Lakers. When will I decide? You'll just have to wait. I don't feel any pressure for any timeline at this point. Meanwhile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of honeymooning convicts go there as heart-shaped cells. Meanwhile, in sports news, the Canadian Football League has announced, and let me pause right there. First of all, there is a Canadian Football League. And the cheerleaders are here tonight evidently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, a defensive tackle needs to stay heavy. And when asked about his weight by sports reporters, Johnson once said he can weigh anywhere from 280 to 300 pounds depending on the day. How? I guess because I poop so much. 20 pounds. Oh my.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you want on your defensive line. You want a guy who can line up, look his opponent in the eye and say, I crap three babies a day. Meanwhile, meanwhile, that gets applause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something there. Something big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When 9-11 happened, I think it was very easy for people to understand, even at that moment, that we were embarking upon a new era in American history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What 9-11 did was really replace the ideals that we professed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of democracy and in terms of, uh, moderation and restraint with a single impulse, survival.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everything else that was done that was contrary to that was thought to be a kind of effete, liberal, wishy-washy, romantic sentiment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The vengeance part of it was the attempt to eliminate the people whom George W. Bush referred to as the quote unquote evildoers. Uh, and the idealism


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the idea that these places could be remade as western style democracies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The doing so would be relatively straightforward and almost easy. All of those ideas are naive. There's a naivete implicit in all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very easy to see after 9-11 that the result was a more truculent antagonistic version of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of Nobel speeches, this is probably the most belligerent speech that you have as a Nobel Prize acceptance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In talking about the fact that sometimes you have to wage war, it was the most non-passivist


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peace Prize acceptance that we've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The innovation that Trump used, like many a great demagogue that preceded him, was to switch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the fact that we have not dealt with our enemies at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we have enemies within the country who are responsible for us being weakened on the world stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in a suite waiting for a meeting, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he came to me, someone who was not right into the program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and not a part of what we were doing and told me that we were running amok essentially and violating the constitution and it was in that time frame when there was an awful lot going on and we were all worried about the next attack. There's no doubt in my mind I would have told him, you know, go talk to your management, don't bother me with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the minute he said, if he did say, you're using this to violate the Constitution, I mean, I probably would have stopped the conversation at that point, quite frankly. So, I mean, if that's what he said he said, then anything after that I probably wasn't listening to anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice! Oh, Adrian, you had a haircut!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elskling, think. Elskling, va försiktig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's nice. Do you like it? You can just take a card like this and it's so luxury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the country saw the president a couple of times that day, he seemed unready. He looked like he was the hunted, not the hunter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would like to make it very clear that we are Americans too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had been projecting a spectacular attack by Al-Qaeda. Here it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had the names of some of the people involved that we recognized. They were al-Qaeda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh huh. Hit him with the volcano. Hit his nigga like mano. You a one hit wonder, mano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DJ Scheme is approaching, look at this man running up in this bitch. How you doing? Yo, this is my famous friend DJ Scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, this dude is famous as hell all of a sudden. How'd that happen? What's up, G? How did this happen, Ski Mask? Why'd you give this guy so much clout? What happened? I had to. He said I had to. I had to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, so, yo, I was just seeing you guys on tour at Juice World the other day. How has this been? Like, this is one of the few times that I see the homies go on tour, and I'm legit jealous. I'm watching your stories, I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I heard. Cause it's, Juice WRLD's like headlining but then he brings out Ski Mask in the middle of it and I, I saw the energy and it was like they were fucking hyped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I talk about, as long as we talk about what we see on the Instagram stories, I love seeing you workout with your bodyguard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's impossible. You can't do anything because everyone lives there. LA is always hectic. LA is always hectic. I think it is a real bottle. Yea, we're drinking Bel Air. We're sipping on Bel Air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never, never, it's crazy to even think that it's been almost a year, but these are X's people right here, like this is his fucking tribe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all I gotta say though is that it's like, cause you have a full DJ set playing X's catalog, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's just like, you can't even put into words how much this is such a reflection of what he really helped to create, I guess is how I could put it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They forget that it's like, you know, he was like a brand new rapper. It's like, well, I was supposed to do like three hours. Like, no, just keep talking. Please. I really, I regret that. I wish I had said, nah, just keep spilling your guts. And even the music too, like I never could have imagined. Like I was saying this to somebody here. I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I had people coming up to me here and I was like, if the only thing that I ever did was interview X, it would be like that here. Because like to the people here is like his, his music, his specter is bigger than anything that any of us could have ever imagined. And that's why when I see you guys going and rocking these giant venues, that's such a good feeling. Cause it's like, all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but hey, you guys are still keeping it alive and I just want to say how much I appreciate it. It's a beautiful thing, you know? Nah, we love you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. And I respect you guys keeping the drip going. Let's get the shoes up on the table. Look it, drip on tour, very important. Ski mask, raise his son well. Right? Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] End it! Cut the fucking show! Cut! Cut! Where Migos at? Get Cardi B up here! What up, Keys? How you feeling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The president and the top leadership are waking up to a drumbeat of new possible threats. Day in and day out. Week in and week out. Month in and month out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who at the price of being tough against the enemy, such a terrible enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're willing to do things that could end up sacrificing that moral high ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And faithfully compromise America's position in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumsfeld actually thought and said that we could just go in and then get out. We weren't going to do nation building in Iraq. And if Iraq imploded, that was somebody else's problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He basically changes his mind He gets into the Afghanistan work


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He escalates and then decides to draw back in Afghanistan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great irony of the Trump administration's use of the war at home danger is that they're using tools developed in the war on terror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And meanwhile, however, ignoring the genuine terrorism threat that they are actually helping to foster and encourage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bush administration argued that Guantanamo was beyond the jurisdiction of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It chose Guantanamo to hold detainees captured in the war on terror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it insisted that they were beyond the reach of the US Constitution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the wake of 9-11, we saw a wave of hate violence all across the United States. Muslim Americans, Sikh Americans at the forefront of this violence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to be a Sikh American at that time, it was to feel as though our nation was under siege and that our families were under siege.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was one of many who campaigned for Obama and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took that vision to mean a clean break from Bush era policies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was selected as a legal observer to travel to Guantanamo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I was gonna be among the last visitors to ever set foot on Guantanamo, where prisoners were still held, and here we are, and Guantanamo is still open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump took all of that anti-Muslim rhetoric, anti-Muslim hate, and weaponized it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where do you do that? And how do you do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You keep it secret from the Justice Department. You keep it overseas, in countries that agree to keep it secret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You build these things with CIA money so that nobody knows this is going on, except vaguely the president and of course the people in the CIA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drone program that started under George Bush becomes much bigger under Obama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just in terms of the number of drone strikes, but in terms of the types of people that can be hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No more games. Just give me what you stole and we can stop this now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure we'll think of something. Maybe if you gave us your cell number. What do we know? There was an explosion at Blackgate about six hours ago. They think maybe an escape attempt went bad. And the inmates took advantage and overran the guards? Afraid so. They're in a standoff with my men positioned outside the prison gates. Hostages? The entire prison staff. Blackgate. Seems like we were just there. You don't have to tell me. I'll approach the prison from the riverside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That side's impregnable. Practically a sheer wall down to the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our boss wants a word with you. I don't think so, buddy. She's mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't matter to me, lady. I just got orders, and that's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Penguin. Where are you taking those weapons? If I were you, I'd be tightening my grip on those hostages. So maybe that elevator leads down to the Arkham Wing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it for Penguin's Blood Trail. Door's locked from the other side. Catwoman, you know of any other ways under the cell blocks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What angle are you working here? Which of the three kingpins hired you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was catching up with an old friend. Tell me what you know so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Authorized personnel only in this area. And you're definitely not authorized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any reason you neglected to tell me he had military-grade Wayne Tech ordinance? That would have been helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're done playing house, Joker. And you're giving me the codes for the Crypto Sequencer. I want that keycard. Now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel. It's been a little while since my last video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took a little summer break so that I could fully focus on a project that I'm sure a lot of you already know by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been moving into my new art studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after 7 months of renovation, I thought moving in would be a piece of cake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would say that it took me about a month until I was done with everything. First, I had to move out all my stuff from the house I rented earlier, and move the stuff into the barn of my new art studio, since I wasn't fully done with everything in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the beginning of July, the house finally got a little makeover on the outside. Something I know a lot of you had been asking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The paint on the house was in really bad shape, so it needed to be repainted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But thankfully I didn't do that project myself. I got help from professional painters and they did such an amazing job and they painted a whole house in just a few days. Looks really nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I spent a whole week on putting together furniture and make tables and work benches for different rooms. And I had so much fun doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Johan was helping me to build all the desks and tables. I wanted a lot of workspace, both in my office and in my art studio, so it was better to make them ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Nanook is helping me with the garden. He thought it was a lot of weed growing here. Wow, you're doing a great job Nanook, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, I did the same thing with all the tables and working desks in the house. It was a lot of work, but I really liked the look of it so it was so worth it. And if you've been following this journey with my new art studio this year, you know that I put my heart and soul into this house and to make it just the way I dreamed of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I decided to not hurry with moving in. I really took my time to work on every single detail and to make the very best out of every room in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I really enjoyed the process in creating things for the house with my own hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When all the furniture was in place, it was time for the next and last step in the process. Moving in all my stuff. And I had almost forgot how much stuff I have, since everything had been packed into boxes for over ten months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I took my time for this as well. I wanted to go through everything and sort and clean out things that I didn't need anymore. To really be sure to have a fresh new start in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the day when I got to move in my computer into my new office. That was a special day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have had rain every day for many weeks now. It's been the most rainy summer in my whole life. Uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know this house needs a little bit of love. Don't you worry, I'm gonna pour my love on this house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like I'm in love, you know, that first state of being in love. That's how I feel right now about this house. Sorry, there's rain on the lens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we gotta go inside soon. What was I gonna say? I wrote some notes. Sometimes I have to do that when I do talking scenes, like this, when I have to talk to the camera, or to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not 100% finished with the house yet. I have some small details that I really want to do. I have some more artworks that I want to hang up on the walls and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But overall, it's finished and it became something magical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It became so much more beautiful than I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I will now give you a full tour in the house and I will also add some footage that are recorded in the winter so that you can see the transformation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a new front door into the house and I took out the plastic mat that covered the floor and then I just cleaned up a little bit. I somehow think that the blue color is a bit cute so I will just leave it like this for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we enter into the house. But first, let's see how it looked like before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now welcome into the kitchen, which I think is the heart in every house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, there's been a lot of work done in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this fire stove is not only really beautiful, it's also connected to a water heating system, so in the winter I will be able to heat up the whole house as I keep the fire alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there is a small room next to the kitchen that I mostly use for storage. And this is how it looked like before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in here I have a lot of space for all my dresses that I often use for films and photography. And I also have a bunch of my own jewelry that I use for taking product photos, etc. And of course a lot of good storage for all my stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this room is also where the whole heating system is located, that is connected to the fire stove in the kitchen. The system is amazing, but it looks horrible, so I covered it with some curtains and I think it worked perfectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the bathroom is the only room where I haven't done any kind of renovation. This is how it looked like before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it looks like this. I've just put in a new toilet and sink to make it feel more fresh in here. I guess this room should have needed some renovation as well. But honestly, I feel happy when I come in here. It reminds me of the old days when the style was so different. So I will keep it like this for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it's time to show you my office or my studio. But first, let's take a look at the beginning. In here is the living room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I renovated this room, I wanted to create an atmosphere that reminded me of the soft night sky in June, and the fluffy clouds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I enter this room, I feel like I get a warm, big hug and that all the tension in my body just disappears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put a lot of thought into the things that I have in here. I want everything to reflect the things I love in life and the things that brings me joy and inspiration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because most of the things that I will share online will be created from this room. This is where I will edit all my videos and create my songs and anything that I share with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do believe that the energy that I feel when I create something have a huge effect on the outcome. And it will also be picked up by you, who watch it. So that's a part of why I've put so much effort into making my art studio just the way I want it. It's like a sacred place to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it's time to go upstairs, where the biggest renovations and changes has been done in this house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually don't think I can find the right words to describe this room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like coming up to another dimension. When I got the idea to make the attic into my art studio, I definitely had a vision similar to this, but I could never imagine that it would be this beautiful in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy to think that it's actually the same house. The carpenters Mats and Peter, they really did an amazing job in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a dream coming true to have a beautiful space like this to work on my paintings. And there's so much room for storage and for all my stuff, so it will be much easier to keep it clean in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also have a beautiful little balcony. I could definitely see myself go out here to take a little break in between the painting. What a dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'm gonna show you the last room in the house. It's a room that is next to the art studio, which was a bedroom before. Room in here, which also was like a bedroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm going to have this also for all my painting tools, because there's so much more than you can imagine. All the frames and all the canvas things. There's, I have a lot of stuff for my painting, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think even this room became so beautiful it almost hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I said, I will use this room for my painting as well. If you've been on this channel for a while, you maybe know that I also like to create my own pigments from nature materials. And it makes it a lot easier to have plenty of space for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And next to this room I have another tiny little room that I just use for storage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this door leads to a room that is not insulated. So it's like an attic. But it's also perfect for storage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now you have seen the whole house. What do you think about it? I would love to hear your thoughts on it in the comment section.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it. I love it, I love it, I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This has been a dream of mine for over 10 years. And I can honestly say that this art studio is one of the best things that have ever happened to me. And I know that I'm not alone in dreaming of an art studio or a creative space like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether you're an artist or not, I believe every single person on this planet is a creator of some sort. And I think that we need our own space to be able to connect to that part of ourselves where we open up to bring in new ideas and things into this life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to disconnect from all that noise around us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's a whole house or a room or a little corner in an apartment or even just a special place in nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having your own space is so important, especially if you feel the longing for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am so deeply grateful that I got to fulfill this dream of having my own art studio. It was a long journey, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After years of moving around and squeezing into all different kinds of spaces and rental houses, I'm finally home. Cheers!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to thank all of you for being with me on this crazy renovation project this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All your positive feedback and loving support have meant more than I can put into words. I've really enjoyed sharing this journey. And now I also feel so happy that I get to make other kinds of videos than me renovating a house. I feel very ready for a new chapter now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I will spend some time settling down in my new beautiful studio and try to take it all in. I will also try to be outside in nature as much as possible to capture the last month of summer before the colder weather arrives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take care and I see you soon again. Mwah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's important for our fellow citizens to understand constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a highly classified program that is crucial to our national security.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its purpose is to detect and prevent terrorist attacks against the United States, our friends and allies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I authorized the National Security Agency, consistent with U.S. law and the Constitution, to intercept the international communications of people with known links to Al Qaeda and related terrorist organizations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without this law, our ability to prevent new attacks will be weakened. And it will become harder for us to uncover terrorist plots. We must not allow this to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the decision not to recall Saddam's army from a political point of view is the single most important correct decision that we made in the 14 months we were there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? That's an accomplishment for where I come from, because you know, doing all that time, you always have the fear about, damn, am I gonna make it out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. I say like this, right? So, a lot of homies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I, that I encountered, you know, 16, 17, 18. They still in prison now. From back then. I feel like that's a crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like to take that amount of time from a, from a youth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a, from a kid, I don't care what he did, like at that, at that age, you still impressionable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so you would not have done if he was a grown man, right? You don't even agree with your younger self.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, it's like, the fact that you, you can give a motherfucker...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'ma be honest with you. I'ma be super honest with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe everything happens the way it's supposed to happen, right? And had I got out in a year or two...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't there yet. Mentally, I wasn't ready yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I didn't, I wasn't learning anything. I wasn't going in there trying to be a better person. I'm being honest. It's not until I found music. It's not until I started fucking sitting in my motherfucking cell writing rhymes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I started to think about doing something else, right? So all that time I was in prison, I was not thinking about being a productive citizen when I got out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't until I found music and I was like, man, man, you know what, man, maybe I can come home and do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. That's right. That's right. So that's the crime. So you, you lock a nigga up, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You make him do all those years and then you give him $40 and a bus ticket and tell him to go figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A support system. So I had people that cared for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that, that helped me transition. That's not everybody's case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so, trying to get, trying to, trying to get in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? So that's what I'm saying. That's what the crime I feel like. That's a crime. Like how you gonna, you know, you take somebody that's so young and so impressionable and take all their life from them and then just send them home. Send them home to do what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so, so for me it was, it was, it was hard, but I felt like I was prepared for it by then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Like by then, like had I got out soon enough, had I got out in two years, three years, I was, I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't trying to do nothing different. I was going head first right back into the street. You know, and I didn't have any kind of, uh, uh, uh, plan to pivot. You know, I didn't have any goals set. You know, it's not until I got into some of my darkest moments that I started to dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand? So, me, because I was getting in trouble, yea. In prison. In prison. So I was an asshole. I was getting in trouble a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in prison, you know what they do? They put you in a box. Right. They put you in a box for years though. So a lot of people don't understand that. You did years alone? Yea, yea, yea. Years in what they call SHU. So that's Special Housing Unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So, they put you in there and it's 23 hours a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That time alone is when you actually find who you are. Now I ain't sitting up here bragging about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you can come back from any, in life, from any condition, right? So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You at the lowest level of life. Like you under the ground. So it's under those circumstances that I started rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I was in the box and I was just like, man, trying to, trying to like pass time and it was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was coming up with ideas just to try to escape what I was feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I started to play with the idea about actually rapping when I got home, then I started to think about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, maybe this could work. Maybe we could do something different. Maybe, maybe it's life outside of, you know, what I, what, what I always thought. See the thing is, leaving the hood is, physically is one thing, you gotta leave it mentally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand? So it's like a mental barrier because we've been tricked to believe that this is just the whole world. Like you got people that don't realize that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this, there's a way of thinking outside of the thinking that, that we were taught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something pretty ignorant. Something pretty ignorant. Honestly. I didn't, I didn't have no, um, no aspirations other than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that's, that's what I was taught. And that's what I thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what my world was, and that's what, that's what, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I kinda evolved in and revolved in around, you understand? So, you know, you either go from being in the streets


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To prison, from prison back to the streets. You don't go nowhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so those two environments are kind of the same thing. Right. Because it's, it's, you're putting me right back into the pit. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's there? Drugs, the guns, the violence, the, you know. Right back into the bullshit. The trauma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trauma, you know, the, the, the, the issues that, that we left and we coming right back to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So I'm coming from way under the ground. I had never even heard my voice on a, you know, in a booth or whatever. And the steps that I was taking was just trying to first find, just get into a studio. Let me get comfortable rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first part. And then everything else, it was a hustle. I felt like... I was a hustler. I felt like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I could do prison, if I could go through everything that I've been through in there, if I could go through all the stuff that I've been through in life, then I could, I owe it to myself to try something different. I started to feel like, homie, let's just try this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it don't work, then we, we, we can come back to the streets later. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what I was selling. That's what I started to sell to my homies. You know what I mean? I started to tell that to my brothers like, yo look, we could do this. These rappers is lying. They talking and acting like they us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these dudes is soft, all these dudes is lying, everybody faking, everybody frontin'. You understand? So I was extra aggressive and I felt like I had so much to prove when I really didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When, when I, when I, what I should have been doing was just more, you know, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Focusing more on the music and just building relationships instead of trying to tear them down. So I come out like, yeah, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, with, with that energy because you don't really know. And that's the energy a lot of times. I see it all the time. I see homies come home all the time and they got the energy because that's the world they just come from. They're coming from a savage world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're coming from, they're coming from the pit. It's coming from where it's, it's highly aggressive. And then you gotta, you know, you, you gotta show niggas that you a man in a, in a more macho way without even, you know, it's, it's just the thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thinking, this is what I'm saying, the mentality of the hood, no matter where you at, you can still have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was taught early that you show your manhood in an aggressive way, right? You always


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what I was taught. Like I don't know how other people, you know, were raised, but I was mostly raised in that kind of way with that type of thinking, right? To kind of like, make examples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you make examples, you don't have issues later on because that example that you make is going to be felt, right? So when you, you know, dudes are telling me, yo, listen, when you get to, when you get to the joint, first nigga say something, you just, you just go crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you set those examples, you land a foundation for your respect. Right? But it only works in that world though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who really cares how tough you are? You understand? When it's time to transition, right? So we talked about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about me coming home and not having no experiences. I had never even been on a date before with a female. So I still was literally 16, 17 years old mentally without experience. So the average, the average 26 year old, 27 year old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was experiencing life, was experiencing things that I, that was still new to me. So by the time I was 26, 27, I'm, I'm doing things that 21 year olds would already pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking about from experience. I had never been on a date with a woman. I had, I didn't even know how to order off a fucking menu the right way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was all new to me. So it's like, prison put you, it's like, you, you, you like a frozen, a frozen man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you, whatever time you left in, that's, you like a, like you was frozen time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, I hit the ground running when I got out. I was determined. I wanted to be something. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I felt like, let's, let's give this a real shot, right? So, so a few things happened, uhm, you know, me hitting the mixtape scene real hard back then, cause you remember it was the mixtape, you know, we talking DJ Clue tapes, K-Slay tapes, you know, uh, Cut Master C, you know, cool kid, right? So, me getting into that circuit, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thousand times more incriminating. That's what I got made on that. That's the first time people ever sold me, you understand? With Smack DVDs, I had been on mixtapes, but Smack DVDs, we was able to shoot videos and then dudes in Atlanta was seeing us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dudes in, in, in Houston was seeing us. So, that's how far that reach was going, right? So, I hit the ground running. A lot of things happened. So that happened. DVDs. Lil' Kim opened up her doors for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My nature is safety, like so, if we going out, you know, my mind is constantly on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be mindful of certain things. So that's my nature. You know, like, with her, you know, that's who I am. You know, so I think I, I played that role to some degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it was a few people, uh, Kay Slay, um, Clu, DJ Nuff, um, these, some of the people that, uh, Coremega. Shout out to Coremega. I don't, I don't, I don't do enough talking about, about that. He put me on his album, um, very early on, you know, Coremega. Uh, you know, and Kim, Kim recognized, Kim, Kim loved me, right? And,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think, yeaah, she, she, she understood what I was trying to do. Uhm, musically I think I, I, at that point I still needed time to, time to grow. And what really happened,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a song called Rumors. I don't know if you- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Rumors is what changed my life. See, people, people that really know me, know me from Rumors, not Hi-Hata. Hi-Hata is, is after the factory got involved, right? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, rumors is the song that got me in the game. Rumors is the song that I made that song and it was on my line the next week. Right? This is how I got originally signed to Universal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got that, I got that beat from Loomis from being affiliated with Kim, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I wasn't affiliated with Kim, she didn't personally give me the beat, but because of those, because of that energy, I was at her office. Gene Nelson was there. He gave me a CD that had beats on it. I went back, listened to that and was like, oh, this is it. That record changed my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it never got serious, but I will say it probably opened up the door for people to not receive me, right? So because we just had 50 Cent. We want another one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gon' let another one come and this nigga talkin' crazy, like, you know what I mean? And you know, Game was out at the time and Game was, you know, was saying stuff too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't, I didn't feel like I built relationships from there. But, the record did get me my first deal and it got me in a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like dudes are literally sitting around trying to find ways to just say something just to get attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that until, until I had time to sit back and analyze it and it was like, damn, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of like what, what we was doing. We was just trying to get heard. We was just trying to get somebody to notice what we was doing. So I found a witty way of doing it, right? So you got 50 how to rob. So I was like, rumors. Let's talk about all the rumors in the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it got me on, and although my ride been bumpy, I will say that my life been different since then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was signing Universal Motown, Sylvia Arone. Tone, Tone, uhm, from Track Masters, he signed me. And, I was uhm, before I knew it, two years just went by. Nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of street records, but they never put out a single on me. They never put out a, like, they put out records, but they never really did it, you know? And then one day I was, uhm, I was in Atlanta and I got a call from my lawyer and he was like, yo, you know, uhm, they wanna drop you. And I was like, what? What? And I was like, damn, my ego was hurt a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called Tone, like, yo, Tone, what they talking about? He said, nah, I just heard about it, man. I'mma, I'mma, nah, I'mma go back up there, I'mma talk about it. Nah, that shit ain't happening. I was like, nah, let it be. Let me be. Let, let, just, let me be. Right. And what happened was, I got dropped. And then, right after I got dropped, I didn't have no deal. I made high hater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when I had my meeting with Atlantic, I had the record already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So when I come to Atlantic, I came to Atlantic with that record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a hit right here. Yeah, it was, it just has that, that, that texture, so you know, it was friendly, it was cool, like, you know, and it was, it was a saying, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's from the High Haters merch. Easy. Easy. Easy, but it wasn't easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt like, uhm, and me and Smack would talk about that years ago, like, damn, they kinda took the formula.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way that you wouldn't see him on MTV or BT. So it was that, it was fanatic. It was crazy. So we was out there with, with, with, with the grips, everything. It was happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we could, we could see everything. Right now, we can do everything. You can do everything on your phone, shop, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, there's so many rappers. Right. There's so many rappers. I don't even know all the rappers. No way. It's impossible, like, there's so many rappers and you know it's so crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah man, it's POV, it's your point of view. You may not be a fan and you, you, period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still a hip hop fan, in a way. That's right, so you can't get caught up in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And fame and all that. I don't get caught up in that. That's man given anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me tell you about that. That was really ball, that really played with my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you, you live in your life. You don't look at yourself no different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then see people look at you and see people cry or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, want to take pitches. I used to be bugging, you want to take pitches with me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you hear me? Like man, whatever level my fame is at, I'm pretty used to it now. It's been a long time, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Early on, it was like really chippin' me out. You know, because I had, I had, I always felt like I'm like the regular nigga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's, it's, it's all good. It's a blessing man, because I take, I take every picture man. I take every picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, right, but you gotta, you gotta figure it out. You gotta navigate. Like, life is about navigating, navigating. So now my story is different though. Now my story is not just, you know, that was in prison. Right. You understand? Now, now we, we, we kinda rope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rewrote history, right? I'm rewriting minds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My narrative in, in prison doesn't define me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I've been through, but that doesn't, that's not what defines me. That's just one portion of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said it from the door, I've been home, what, 15, 16 years. Right. Successfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we getting into that, you understand? We putting out powerful music, we opening up businesses, we doing things that we always dreamed about doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? So you're not even thinking about that. We see in dealing with today. Right? But uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To each his own. Like, I make music, I make gangster shit, I make inspirational shit, I make things that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reflect who I am, in a real way. And I try to be as honest with the music as possible. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't feel a need to put on a certain type of image because they already know what it is. Like, I don't have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this or portrayed like that. You understand? Like I am who I am and I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is coming back. I think people kinda, uh, people kinda respect that more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't never had those problems. Ever. I never had those issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand? Not to, not to, not to say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my card is any greater than anybody else's card, right? But, I just move with respect. I don't disrespect nigga cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deal with whatever the problem is whenever it is the problem. So, I mean, it's not like I feel like I'm some fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great fucking thug, it is, nah, I don't, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It just excites people and gives them something to talk about for a week or two. And then it's on to the next thing. So you gotta start figuring out how you gonna present yourself for your next 10, 15 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can't be it. That can't be it. That can't be it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simple math, like we tryna, if we, if, if music and fashion and business and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we trying to hustle, then let's really hustle. That shit right there is a waste of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So once I started to open up my eyes and started to see that that shit is a waste of time, what I got to prove? I don't have nothing to prove. Like, when it was time to be violent, I performed. When it was time to go to the extreme, I did that. It's not that time right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not that time, it can't be. It's not that time right now. The time right now is to increase our value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I say Iowa, I'm talking about me. Increase my value. And, and, and, shit like that just decreases your value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Music, I always felt like I was smart enough to do things other than just rap, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when I started to sit back and just really analyze my life and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My career in, in, in hit some of those walls and people telling you, yo man, you know, you could have got this, but you know, they looked you up and they saying that they don't want to, they don't want to fuck with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You start hearing that so many times and it's like this narrative of, you know, you getting, you getting turned away because of certain things that people perceive of you, your perception. I started to say, man, hold up, I could...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm, I'm greater than that. And then there's certain dudes that I look up to that I respect in a business way. You talk about puff, you talk about 50, you can say whatever you want, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to diversify your portfolio is what I started to imagine. So I'm like, damn, I could write a movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How'd you go about that? I had did a show, me and Kim Osorio working on a cop show. I had did that and I started writing my book around the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I kinda jumped off that and then jumped into this documentary that I actually filmed already. So I had went and filmed the documentary based around the New York City strip club. Right. Right, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That wa- that was a project that I was like, yo, I really gotta do this because I really wanna see if I can really concentrate on- on something other than myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so it took me like a year and a half to finish it and it's a four part documentary and it's really dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but what's interesting about, about the New York City Strip Club is that it's not about the dancer, right? The dancer is not the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not what people are fascinated with. People don't come there for the dance, they actually come there for the ball tenders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drives the economy in the strip clubs. The bartenders are the ones. That's the cachet. That's the focus. You know, ballplayers, they're coming in there. They're coming to see the bartenders. They're coming to see your favorite bartender. Bartenders is like celebrities in New York City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that you really gotta see, you see, um, Stollett's, when Stollett's first started, you know, um, popping off in like, what was it, 2012, 2013, when the Instagram hit, 2012, 2013.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted to use girls because now we got this tool to promote. So, it was smart, right? So they took...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six girls that looked like, or even better than strippers in some ways, right? And put them all in one uniform and started taking professional photos of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had them promote from that page and from the, from the, uh, from the business page of the club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then guess what? They on there saying come to my bar. Come to Starlet's or come to wherever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it became a hit, and that kinda started a whole nother hustle in New York. So before we knew it, new clubs were opening up. New clubs in the city were opening up with the same model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same thing, promote using social media, drive the traffic to the club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's coming to the club? Hustlers, artists, industry people. Who they coming to see? They coming to see that bartender they been looking at all week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so girls was going to get big asses and get all type of shit done because they, they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They investing themselves to, to get to the, to get to the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On females that dance, I don't look down on females that ever dance. I don't look down on females who danced and had a plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of girls, it's a lot of females, a lot of artists, a lot of artists right now that came directly out of the strip club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I predicted that there was gonna be a big strip club rapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told, I told my homie this back in, I wanna say 2013, 2014. And I was just looking at the way that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way it was, it was changing. The way people was looking at certain girls. So when you look at Black, like BlackChina became like this big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Celebrity, right? And she had never even spoke before. But people were just enthralled by her, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just like, and I was starting to see, like, Strip is rapping. I was like, yo, this is gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gonna be a rapper that was a stripper. That's gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody had a problem with, with, with, with Kanye when he was, um, with, uh, what's her name, Amber. Nobody had a problem with that. Nobody had a problem with her past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand? So it was like this mystique and then it was like she came out the club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't know if we gonna have, if we gonna have that. You understand? Because she, she got something totally different than, you know, she was already who she was before the, the massive fame came, right? So she was already,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I never, I was never bothered by 6ix9ine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dudes was really offended by him, right? I really wasn't really offended at all. I looked at him as like a little kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is just him doing what he do. And I understood it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best thing you could do to somebody and the simplest thing to do is ignore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the, the uhm, the stardom and, or the power that was, that was coming from it, right? And the influence that was coming from it. I met him a few times, and we was cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would talk, you know, and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I would share with him some advice that I felt like that he needed. You understand? I felt, I would tell him that I felt like he needed to focus on business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, keep it all business. Because this is the industry. This is not the streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know what it feel like to be coming out of the street trying to still have one foot in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you get out, once you get some, once you get a shot, you gotta commit to it. You can't do both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard not to. You gonna be who you are. You spent all these years being this person. And then-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can you change just like that? So it's hard not to. You still rot in some kind of way. You still doing some kind of things and you still dealing with your issues the same way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they were looking for, uhm, what a lot of people were looking for. A way out and a way in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's how you deal with it. It's how you deal with the success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people, you can't, you can't get in the game and then try to act out your gangster fantasies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you gonna put your executive suit on, put that suit on and wear that suit. If you gonna put your rapper shoes on, be a rapper, wear that suit. You understand? All that other shit, it's gonna have a, it's gonna have a time limit. It's gonna run its course and that's what we saw. That's the fastest


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what I'm saying, you gotta, you gotta put whatever the hat is on and you gotta commit to it and be that fully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a lot of that, a lot of that, a lot of that is bullshit. I think most of that case is based around, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's my point. They ain't know him at all. So a lot of that stuff they talking about they had before that, that was, I mean the local precinct know all that. Like that ain't, that shit was nothing. Like the feds wasn't watching them before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of people that love his music. They haven't stopped playing his music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, in New York they play it. They play it all the time. You understand? Like what he did, what he did don't stand, don't stand right with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not the, I'm not the gatekeeper of that. That's just my opinion. I don't fuck with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gonna have to deal with that. But, like I said, nobody cares about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him snitching. His fans would have probably done the same thing. People that like him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have the same values and morals as I have. They don't have the same code as I do. And I'm mature enough to understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see the example, see that the federal government is not gonna play, they gonna set, they gonna make you an example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think we gonna let you out here scream all this gang shit and have these kids in middle America with this gang shit. It's kinda crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The internet is too important. Social media is too embedded in our lives. You getting 10 million views telling niggas to suck your dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you, what could you do? Like, it's like, god damn buddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he, he speaks the truth because whether you like it or love it, like if you really listen to Farrakhan, if you really listen to what he's saying, a lot of what he's saying is just common sense though. You understand? When he talk about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Opposition is a blessing. Having opposition is a blessing. He's saying that when you have opposition, it forces you to see how strong your will is. It tests you to see how you perform under stress. Right? So when you shadow boxing, you just shadow boxing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That test is your strength though. Mentally, physically, everything. I like to listen to Farrakhan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like a lot of the things that he's saying because a lot of the things that he's saying is prideful for black men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understand? So the fact that, what, what, what was the, what was the last, what made them do that though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm pretty sure that they, there's a, there's a larger context of. Exactly. You understand? Like, there's a larger context. Then you have these, uhm, you have these groups, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got anti-Semitic groups that have Instagram. Right. Right? I forget the names of a few of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, that's crazy. That's fucking crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but that's the, how, how are they like judging that though, like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like how would, like how the fuck could you just say that you just gon' cut my mic off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facebook, Twitter, Instagram is life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go right on social media for your news, entertainment, gossip, everything. Right on your phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like, this is too embedded in our life, in our lifestyles. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and use the testimony against that one, against the other two. So even if that one killed 20 people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sent me to do it, he's the head of the family, he's the boss, he's the money, he's the influence, and I did it for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the guy that was sitting back in his house calling the shots to get all the time in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a real thing. Listen, I went to a, um, I went to a trial recently, a couple months ago, and sat there and watched the dude admit to killing seven people. Well, he was on the stand doing his thing, telling on a homie of mine. And, um, he admitted to all that. It was just like, send me the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he did a lot of telling, so they worked him out. They worked him all the way out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did you, you take the word of a fucking, of a rat. So if you made that illegal, then all those cases...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you need me to, to, to, to fucking go and tell on all these niggas, really prove your case. So if they took that element out, then it will, it will, we'll be having a different, uh, it'll be, it'll be different, oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, like, it's just, it's just not gonna happen, man. Cause, you know, somewhere, somewhere somebody's gonna try to get less time and, you know, like, look man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how fucked up it is and how helpless they are. Yea, yea, yea, yea, it, it, it, it, you know, I've been in situations with, with plumbing not working. You understand? And, you know, snow hot water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I know, I know how that feels because when you're in prison, it's like, you can't, you can't fend for yourself. At all. So it's uhm, I definitely, I definitely, I definitely feel that. I definitely feel that, you know? It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. I was talking to Meek recently. We was in the studio talking. He was, we was talking about that about his, about his case, about how the fact that he'd been on probation. What'd he say Rick? Nine years or something like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievable. You know, different states got different laws. So he, you know, Pennsylvania, their laws are different than in New York. In New York, you get probation for like five years. I think that's the max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't shh, man, their laws is different. It's a commonwealth state, I think. And I don't even understand it. Like, so that when you get, when you violate the probation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The time stops and then you get more on the back? Like I don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that you can actually be back in prison for not even a crime doesn't make sense because I remember


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I got a prison, when I got a violation and I had to go back to jail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to go back to jail for a year because I wanted to go visit a home in mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I'm back in prison for something that's not a crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't make sense. But they, these, the rules and stipulations, and they say that if you break these rules, you'll have to be back in prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stupid. Shit like that needs to be different. So like, what he was back in prison for. He was in prison for, for what, Willie? And it was a case, police contact, because he, he beat that case. They threw that out. So you're putting a nigga back in prison for violations? Shit, that's not even a crime. It's, it's stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, we just got the new song out right now uhm, what Macy Gray's called All Again. Big, big, big, big, big, big record. Actually out here finishing up the video right now uhm, in LA. Uhm. She's out here? Yea, she's out here. You know, got the project coming, it's called On Everything I Love. So, we just out here pushing, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now listen, I like, I like Conor. I like him. I like him. I even enjoy the fight that he had with Floyd. I like his character. Like, you know, he's good. He's the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got his shin bone kicked out. That was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did loosen up, uhm, some concerns that some people inside NSA might have had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the hell do you mean by that? Bound by your words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think that because I came today just like you predicted, you have some kind of hold over me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you believe you can tell me what to do next. Is that it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just fooling yourselves. I came here today because I wanted to, not because of any spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if this spell of yours is real, I've got no choice, right? I'll go out, find those three gems, and bring them back to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard a voice. It said that I've been led here, and I'm supposed to meet someone. The angel of Valhalla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A young girl, but I don't think she's close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, a bad tempered chocobo vet by the name of Dr. Gazal. Hmm, they said I could find him in Canopus Farms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The encounter is ordained. You have been led to the fountainhead whence the chaos flows. Does that mean anything to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you think it's waiting in the temple? This great chaos, that's the source of it all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I know what I felt. I'll follow the dock back to Canopus Farms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you said. Any hints? What kind of food should I give him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd better be useful. I was never one for keeping pets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I need to know more about what's behind the story of the Great Chaos. And that means checking out that temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The unseen chaos that has torn the world apart, and it was unleashed by one man, all because he wanted to stop time for a girl he loved. Caius Ballad. If only I could have stopped him earlier. But I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you giving me safety tips? That's not like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fine but it was a long fall. How far down am I? Can you tell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the man who wanted to stop time has managed to stop his own. And now, he's trapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The unseen chaos that Kaius let loose on the world was his attempt to save her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, each of her souls was born with a heavy heart. And as each soul returned to the chaos, it was drawn to the others. Now, they've become one. A cancerous mass of sorrow and pain and longing. That's what lives here in this temple. That's what Yule is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is the source of the great chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chaos that surrounds the yules. I know that darkness all too well. It's the unseen chaos. It's not like I could forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the source of the original chaos. The chaos that burst from the unseen realm. You lived countless different lives. Born over and over each time with a new soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this all began because you couldn't let go of Kaius? The chaos and all its power grew out of your need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those poor girls were destined to die before they could grow old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we wanna keep this chaos in check, the only way might be to do what she wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not here to fight you. That won't wipe out the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's for Yule's sake. She asked me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not asking for permission. The chaos here needs to be brought under control. I'm gonna do what Yule asks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yule. It was you I heard. You spoke to me when I arrived in the wildlands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A hell of a disguise. You had me fooled. Odin, my faithful friend. It's good to see you again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The summon souls you said? That's promising.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they haven't had any luck, right? It seems like the Order isn't the only one interested either. The bandits also want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how much this clavis is worth, but if it can be used to gather souls, it sounds pretty handy for a savior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So don't be surprised if I wake up at knife point, is that it? Fine by me. It'd give me an excuse to beat some information out of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sarah was right. Ever since I could remember, even as a child, I always kept my feelings deep inside. But this time, it wasn't a mask, and I wasn't hiding my joy. When I saw Sarah, I didn't feel anything at all. It's like whatever love I'd had for her was gone from my heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say definitely criminal is closer. At least there's not much of a dress code. Other than looking like a thief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make it stop? The wind? Do you want a bandit or a holy woman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you know that, why haven't you taken care of it instead of asking a stranger?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing what Adonis had to say about it didn't sound like anything a normal person could do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How could I refuse an old friend? It'll be like old times, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do realize that you did too, right? Yet you sure make it sound like it has nothing to do with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But despite their best efforts, no one has even gotten close to it. I know all this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. But if you want the truth, I'm more curious about Fang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone has something they wanna keep hidden. I'll wait till she's ready to tell me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't assume anything if I were you. I'm not here for the order. It seems like you don't see eye to eye with them though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you don't have to tell me twice. I can feel it from here. You think it's the power of the Clavis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it wants me to come in and say hi. I get it. But this door doesn't seem to agree. It's stuck shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three murals, huh? Somehow I don't think a little art appreciation will be all I need to get that clavice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Linze, in his wisdom, used the blood that flowed from Etro to give birth to the first humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the story of the gods. Or rather, the story of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It shows how humanity was born from blood spilled by the goddess Etro. But we weren't made to live forever like this. We were put on the world to serve the gods, do their bidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm more than ready to get that door open and get the clavice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, what does the ceremony do? More than just summon the dead, I take it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's what Phenyl wants, this ceremony. But even knowing that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you didn't want to let her die like that. So you tried to get the Clavis yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fang, Vanille is going to die. You never did mince words. And I can't save her. So, what's your point? I save souls by granting them what they wish for. If Vanille wishes for death with all her heart, then I have to let her have it. I have no choice. You're saying you'd let her die? Yes, if she doesn't change her mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't listen to rumors. Ooh, look at little miss antisocial. Well, I'm Jamus, former bandit. Former?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sit back and let me tell you the tale about my days as a green bandit. If I do anything, I'd pick a ruin clean and then go right back out for more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even someone like me had a family. We may not have been related by blood, but my kids loved me like I was the greatest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll repay you somehow for this. I'll wait however long it takes. It'll be nothing compared to the past 156 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? It's a big thing. I mean, we here with new jumper too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello there, stranger. Welcome to Canopus Farms. My name's Garrett. Guess you could say I run things around here. What can we do for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, got it. You wanna know about the Angel of Valhalla, right? Well, Dr. Ghazal's your man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But about a century ago, she was killed while they were both out tracking chocobos. It was tragic. The doctor never really told the whole story of what happened.

[Assistant] But after that he threw himself even deeper into his research and work. Soon it was all he cared about. But listen, promise me one thing, okay?

[Assistant] I mean, everyone around these parts knows the story, of course. But he wouldn't like it if Stranger started asking about his past. Anyway, if you're interested in seeing the legendary Chocobo for yourself, Dr. Gazal is the man you have to talk to. They say he's seen the Angel of Alhalla more than a few times. At least a Chocobo that looks just like it. Sounds like he could help. I bet my hunting bow on it. Well, may nature bless you.

[Assistant] At the time being, you know, he probably was still in the hood, trapping, trenches, ghetto, whatever, you know what I'm saying, uh, he wasn't really, you know, ready to do the music at that time.

[Assistant] What the nigga said? Oh man, the nigga was dissing you and you was rapping about forms and designer. Cause that's how I was rapping on that song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what he, that's what they mean. Ah, okay, now I get it. Because I didn't come to them for the beef. Right. I just sent them the song. The song is, uhm, honest by Future. And I was rapping how Future was rapping on the song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Messy, he was, you know, messy, messy. He been doing what he been doing for a while. You get what I'm saying? And I voice my opinion on it, you know, as being one of the, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The niggas doing their thang in the bay. You get what I'm saying? You know, niggas didn't agree with what he had going on. So uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that was, I think that was, I don't know, that might have been before I was fucking with Mazzy. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that was the hype, but, you know, I didn't know what was going on. That nigga just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's what he said, you know, he mentioned that in the prior interview, like, you know, he fucked with him and whatever, but due to the, uhm, due to what's going on, he can't fuck with him, but then I guess he went around there, so, that's why we came up with the Fuck Your Politics, cause, uh, apparently the politics wasn't involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he been smoking crack, the shit that happened to him when he was on Worldstar, getting beat up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a result of that. He was smoking crack that day too. That's how the niggas even got in the room to beat his ass because he was trying to buy crack from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been doing that. I mean, that ain't nothing new, but, you know, I ain't really focused on that. That wasn't the issue. The issue was, you know, as you being from the Bay and you rapping about this real shit and this and this and motherfuckers listening to you and then you doing fake shit, so, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't feel betrayed, you know, because there's been other nerd shit he was doing before that, that just wasn't like broadcasted, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you know, we didn't, we didn't stop talking a few times before that. You get what I'm saying? Uh, he didn't do nerdy shit with other, you know, niggas around us too. You get what I'm saying? Niggas wasn't talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't feel betrayed, it was just some dork shit, you know what I'm saying? So I just left it at that, but me and, me and Lavden...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, do our shit due to that though. Okay. That wasn't like a tit for tat type of move, cause when Laff first reached out, I told him nah. You know, I was like, I wasn't gonna fuck with it. Then I thought about it as like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would I involve, you know, if a nigga reaching out with some cool shit, you know, like, I really wanna fuck with a nigga, and I just told him, like, you know, if I do decide to do it, I ain't tryna do it to, like, diss them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel me? Like, do no songs dissing them or no shit like that or even do it for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, you know, it's this shit back thing in the body. I had a lot of people in my ear like, man, fuck that shit. Like, exclude yourself out of that shit. You know what I'm saying? That shit was going on in 2007. Right. And ain't nothing happened to him, nothing happened to me. And really, it wasn't even my beef. It was my niggas beef.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came home to they beef. Right. So just me, I was the one pressing though. You get what I'm saying? I was the one owning. So you know, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And filthy, filthy real nigga, you know what I'm saying? Shit like that. So he was like, you know, on his head saying he wanted to link up with a nigga when he was in jail and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get what I'm saying? He was on some sincere, genuine shit. Like fuck it, if I do it 10 years from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 days from now, a year from now, whatever, they still gonna say the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, I mean, what's the, and then I like, how can you like, um, you know, judge that about nigga doing music with a nigga? Like, them niggas did an album together too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of situation, it was something like- The enemy of my enemy was my best friend. Or is just, is a friend. Nah, that wasn't, that wasn't that because at that time being, Tim wasn't my enemy. Okay. You get what I'm saying? He wasn't my enemy, you know? But did you know- I'm talking about some street shit. Right. You know, sometimes you can sit back and let niggas kill theyself off. You get what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, like, I'ma keep it real. You that mad nigga shoulda been did what they shoulda did so it wasn't even nothing that shoulda even been able to happen. Uh-huh. You know what I'm saying? If that's how you really feel, like, you that hot, you that mad at whatever you mad about. I mean, but you don't... I don't really feel like you got the right to be mad at me though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That nigga, that nigga did for sure, that nigga, you know, as in, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just being like, you know, a nigga just, a nigga leave your house, tell you he love you, you get what I'm saying? Your brother, you been around a nigga five years, you know, I done been in his neighborhood, he done been in my neighborhood, I fuck with niggas from his neighborhood, you get what I'm saying? So it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For you to do some shit like that, and it was like kinda premeditated, like, like he knew what he was doing. Like he'd lay it up from the picture, to having a nigga at your house, to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting the chain on the nigga, and mind you all this shit going on, you still ain't holla at the nigga.
