I've been that loune of ten years and now all right,
and I can honestly say, and I have said this.
I came here very aggressively. You feel what I'm saying
and over the time. Now I really do apologize to
a lot of people for that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Bro.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
You feel me because it rubbed niggas the wrong way.
But at the same time, life rubbed niggas the wrong
way it happens. It wasn't intentionally, you feel what I'm saying.
It just was a misunderstanding of me knowing how to maneuver,
and other motherfuckers don't know a niggas, So you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
At the same time, should everybody know what's up?
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Man?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That on one callaway is always love that first question,
and I want you to each go and be as
timely as you can.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What made you want to become a DJ?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Damn control? Okay?
Speaker 9 (04:10):
I wanted to have some aspect of control in something
I was doing, and I saw that if I was
I saw the power in music and how to control
people emotions. High control the room. I controlled the admisphere.
You feel what I'm saying. You cut a song gone,
and I can make you feel like you want to cry.
I can cut a song gone, I can make you
(04:30):
feel like you're the heaviest person alive. I can cut
another song on. I can make you feel like you
want to call your ex baby Mama. Feel what I'm saying.
I just saw it as that level of control that
I can really control my environment. And I became a
person after throwing parties for so long, and I mean
in high school, I kind of got to the point
where I was like, bro, like, I want to control
these environments. I like throwing parties, so how can I
(04:52):
continue doing this and make some money? And I had
a passion for this shit like it was that was
the next level for me. Appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Yeah, it was. It was the control of my environment.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Okay, I got to say, and mine was just the
love of music, you know I was. I started DJ
when I was twelve years old. So my dad was
the hip hop side. My mom was the R and
B side, So I was like, I was always around
older people, so I just I'm seeing niggas DJ. I'm
just like, oh, this is what I want to do.
I can make money off of it too. I don't
got to get a job.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Oh I'm DJ. And then I taught myself how DJ
and I fell in love with it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, I ain't even want to be no DJ. I
wanted to go to the NFL.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Bro on God, because you played ballall you couldn't have Yeah,
you couldn't have told me I wasn't going to the NFL.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
On God.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But you know, God made things happen in your life.
You get injured and whatnot. The funniest story about it, BRO, Like.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
When I became a DJ, BRO, it was on some
like virtual DJ.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You know how you used to get pop ups on
our laptops, Bro, I hit the wrong thing on my computer.
Pop up popped up and downloaded Virtual DJ on my
computer like automatically, and I got it started playing with
it while we supposed to be in I'm running the clock,
like playing the DJ shit got to it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But I like the DJ ship because it's like competition.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It reminds me of football, Like you can get up
there and compete with whoever, whether it be the crowd,
whether it be the DJ before you, the DJ after you.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I just love the competition in it, Like it just
feel like I can. I could turn this.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Bitch up, and it's just my opinion better than anybody
in the world in this particular moment.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So like, that's kind of what I feel in love.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
With about the shit. Now, how did you start becoming
a tour DJ out of nowhere?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
To be honest, like, I took over the college campuses.
I started DJing all the local parties in the city
and whatnot. I seen like the y'all remember that movement
that that twenty is like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, like
Migo Stug like emotional everybody. Yeah yeah, yeah, like everything
just started to move Atlanta and I'm just watching like
(06:51):
all right, we know this nigga he gone, We know
this nigga he gone. And essentially, like in that time,
if you are a prominent DJ, essentially all you had
to do is.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Just kind of like wait your turn, just conversations.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
And you you support the artists, like all the DJ
the hottest DJs a out right now. We literally were
all DJ together at certain clubs. He might be the
open on this night. I might be the closer on
this night.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Boom. It just so happened.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You know, an artist, he come to your club, you
see you killing the club. He's like, man, I want
to bring this dude on tour. And it just so
happened like that with Black I met him through today.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, what's so funny? Bro Tune that used to be
a DJ. Yes, a lot of people don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
There's some parties too, Yeah, Team Millionaires him jam like
all of them, yeah all together. It was not but
he used to be a DJ. DJ incredible, but he
wound up bringing me drums.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Hard.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
He's actually good as DJ's a hard name.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
He wound up. Then they had drum at the time.
I like to Chad and at that time, I'm breaking records.
I'm breaking it cool. He like, got this new artist
named Black, I want you to work with him.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
I'm like, who.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
We go to rehearsals, I pull up, I'm thinking to
somebody I don't know. I already knew Black from like
twenty thirteen. Just we just clicked organic. Yeah, it just
so happened like that. We've been lot there ever since.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Now, Vaughn, you have a really good relationship, you know,
with the artists that you DJ for, and I feel
like a lot of DJs that they don't get that
access to an artists. What what made you feel like
you can start to tell, like, Okay, I got a
better relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
With the artists that I'm working with than most people.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Well, when I first started a lot of Lotto, Yeah,
well before a lot of when I first started touring
DC and Rorri had guns why being I mere needed DJ.
I I think that was the first person out of
j for almost everybody.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I don't bounce around but me and lotto was.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
We was friends way before I became her DJ, so
she was always the young team performer at the pet rallies,
at throwing parties on the South Side. So when we linked,
it was more of a The chemistry was already built
because we had the best friend relationship, so it was
easy to really lock in and not make it just business.
(09:07):
We made the business fun personal, you know what I'm saying.
So after we locked in, it was just.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
When she performs and you perform with her, I can
tell you guys are friends. I can look at the
performance and here and tell you guys are friends for
hard because you can't duplicate, right, you can't copy that facts,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
And I know some DJs probably be jealous of you,
like you know, birthdays come around and you know you.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Get yeah, But that that comes from the relationship we built,
not personally in business. She scratched my back, I scratched
her back. I helped make the show also, so she
shows that appreciation.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
So I respect her for that. A lot of artists
don't respect.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Their DJs exactly like a lot of artists don't respect
the DJs.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
More time for the people in the back.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
A lot of artists do not respect they dj is
no matter how much hard work they put in, they
just don't have respect.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
For him whisper one time a lot of artists.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
But that's what makes me like a lot of more
as an artist.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
When I see your relationship, it makes me like her
more as an artist.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It's so hard and seen her brother And this is
some random ship Vronkaby DJing, random ass club that shr
hold two hundred people, sull.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Pull up and that's important.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Don't do that.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
That's important because that makes your value go up when
promoters and club owners can see, Okay, you DJ Falato,
and we might book you, and you might charge more
than the average DJ because you said you never know
who's gonna pull up. And I have seen it for
your birthdays. I'd have seen it from random clubs that
you've done. And she popped up and supported. Now t
(10:54):
lewis you work with the greatest rapperlive?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
How is that a journey? Speaking to the micro sir.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
On journey, I mean he's the greatest rapper alive. I
mean one thing about it. I was conditioned.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
I hate to say it like this, bro, but I
think I was more so conditioned to do this job,
train more so because I start out to do it,
right said.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I was in Jackson and I was just really at
the point of my life.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
I ain't gonna say a point of my life when
I when I started DJing, I was like, bro I
gotta get out of Jackson. So my goal was like,
I got DJ for somebody I'll never forget. I was
in Jackson and I got a phone call the DJ
for Travis Porter because I broke just helped break Travisport
in Jackson. Right, you know, they were doing the tour
in China.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
And the boy hit me. I said, hey, TV, come
out here, turn it with the boys. Da da da dah.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
I said, oh, all right, for sure, I said, tell
me the detail. They told me the details, right, I cried,
I ain't take it, but I had the opportunities coming,
but I stood on a lot of shit.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You feel what I'm saying. I even like the details.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Details was not anything that could have made anything happen
for Tilts to go to China. You know what that
sound like. And there want no disrespect to the boys.
You feel what I'm saying. But they had already had
a budget and the DJ that they had at the time.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
That's what he was taking.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
He was taking it. So they was like, hey, this
is what we got right now. It was my college homecoming.
In that two week span that was going on, I
had enough events that was going to quadruple the money
that they were saying.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
So I was like, I can't really do that, So
I gave up that opportunity.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
I had people coming to the city actually grabbing me
like hey let's.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Go do X, Y and Z. But I'm still in Jackson,
do you feel me?
Speaker 9 (12:37):
I sawed out to go for wine though, Like from
the jump, I was a huge Waye fan, so doing
that me being around Tis, one thing I was grateful
for was Tis was always about one. He always scooled
me like, hey, this is how he is. He's his
mannerisms like this, he liked this. When you when you
start DJ in form, Bro, you gotta know this, you
gotta know that. And I took all at the heart.
(12:59):
So with that's why I say it's a journey because
I've been I've been waitning ten years now.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Bro, you feel what I'm saying. Wow, and me being
wayning ten.
Speaker 9 (13:06):
Years Bro, I've watched so much from Bro and learned
so much from Bro. That's like, it's nothing bad I
can say because at the end of the day, this
is is really his world.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Bro.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
You feel what I'm saying, right, And the great part
about our chemistry is he let me do what I
do and I support what he do. You feel what
I'm saying, so I have no complaints.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And I would say DJ and for Wayne You'll be
You'll funk around and be in like Australia and Artist Russia.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
Lifetime artists. You gotta understand what you're getting yourself into.
This is a lifetime artist. You feel what I'm saying.
At the end of the day, he's going to perform
forever longest he's willing to and long as God listens
him to. You feel what I'm saying, and you being
his artist, you have to understand that you feel what
I'm saying. And that's why you know what I'm saying.
Like I said, it's a journey, Bro, because we were just.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
We was in Hawaii. Bro left Hawaiian with the Taypeland.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
When I'm really living like that though with legacy artists,
especially him.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yeah, I'm saying it happened like that. You feel me.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
At the same time, if Big Tuna didn't have, you
know what I'm saying, his own personal restrictions on certain things,
he'll probably be a lot more places than be Like, man, damn,
he just went there.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
You feel the saying because the phone calls come in.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
But honestly, being his DJ, bro, I feel just as
blessed and pleased as these guys. But the difference is
see O DJ for artists that Like when I was DJ,
forgot it. That was a long term relationship because God
was coming to the club seeing me DJ and called
and was like, hey, bro, come come, I got some
for you right now, come do x Y and Z.
(14:39):
I never forget when he first sat me on the
road with Wayne, he was like, boy, you finally got.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Out of Jackson.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
But yeah, we was in Saint Louis. He had just
signed Black Youngs. He looked and he looked and he
was like, boy, you finally got out, Like, yeah, what's up?
Like I got some play? He started calling me. Then
that's when Bag did the same thing. Bag came to
the club, sat in the club.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Little Larry, I.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
Mean little Larry Larry been coming to Jackson, miss for
the longest partying with me, that's two hours away. So
even with your relationship with like your friend relationship with
your artists, I admire that I have a friend relationship
with tune, but I tall I for the same time.
The business absolutely before he called, soon before he called,
or when he's calling, because why don't want them people?
(15:18):
Why don't want them people like they prip you like
they gonna they tuned in ther bit for show.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Some super they're.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Gonna they're gonna hit you lees about stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
But go ahead, big dog gonna hit you.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
One of the big dogs gonna hit you like the
fin hit your bit for show.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
He hits you in.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
You gotta know they gained the conversation. And one thing
I know how to gage the conversation out for the
first is guess what this is a business conversation?
Speaker 6 (15:43):
First? What's up with it? Sir? You're good? Yeah? Everything good?
All right?
Speaker 9 (15:48):
For shure noah, nigga, I want to do this da
da da. Conversations don't go like that because nine times
out of the team, he ain't really calling me on
that ship like this. I put Wayne Shaws together. You
feel what I'm saying. So from sit list and design
and all this ship I do that, trust me to
do that. So that's why I say DJ for him
is a journey, bro, But it's amazing.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
All right, already turn it up.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
First topic to you go?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
First?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Uh, what does it mean for DJ to burn another
DJ out in the club?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Turn it right?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Turn right?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Okay, I feel like we're all experienced enough to understand
of like all of us have been burned.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You know what I'm saying. As far as DJI. You
know what I'm saying, Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Crazy Essentially being burned in the club while you're DJing
is let's just say I'm the closer, right.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I come in. It's a it's an unstated.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
DJ rule that we have, like we all know, especially
like in Thattlanta. Because what I've also realized is like
I learned it the burning thing in Atlanta, but then
when I got to travel, I started to understand, like
it's really not a thing.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So I'm just touch on the Atlanta want about. It's
a certain way we run our parties in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
That's we set it up.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yeah, it's a build up, you know what I'm saying.
No matter how many people there, you got to be
able to control this many people. Here's where the burning
comes into play. Let's just say you have three DJs
right ten to twelve. This DJ is supposed to, you know,
just get the music, get the people to the bar,
get the you know, get the people cooling. The middle
DJ is supposed to be the DJ that gets the
(17:41):
crowd growing.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
But not like it's prime time.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
It's just.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Middle DJ if you asked me. But let's keep going, but.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Do not play the hit records until most of the
time it's three DJs, and then depending on what time
you closet. But this middle DJ is probably the most
important because if he DJ is correctly, it don't matter
what the hell I play, They're gonna turn up and
(18:17):
have a great time.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
You know what I'm saying. But here's where the problem
in Atlanta is the middle DJ thinks he's the mother
fucking close.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It's when DJ thinks he's the closing.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You're playing these records knowing that.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
These are the hottest records, thinking that you're getting the
response of I'm a great DJ, when it only means
you're only playing the hottest records. You actually look way
better when I'm not playing records that niggas haven't heard before,
and I got it rocking like I'm playing the hottest record.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Out just because you in the middle and you have
a mass, a massive crowd. Like tone said, it doesn't
mean you go hit for hit for hit for hit
for hit.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's don't hit you can play.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
It's all hits. You can so many h.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
You can play. You you have fun.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
You know what I'm saying. You not the priority artists tonight.
It's okay to relax, you know what I'm saying. That's
what DJs don't understand. They see a club with five
hundred people. Let's just say the club is packed at
ten o'clock. DJ is getting nervous and they don't know.
Let me play a song from twenty twelve, fourteen, fifteen sixteen.
(19:33):
I got five hundred people in this club. I gotta
play every a song right now. That's what they don't understand.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
With burning out to me, niggas don't have crazy bro Leuis.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
I'm gonna be real with you.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
You looking at three of the cold as motherfucker you
ever gonna see, and goddamn life see the nigga ain't
gonna pop it.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I'm gonna pop it on.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
I'm gonna tell you like this here. The problem is
why this shit going on here? Cause one D nick
can't DJ tell you, two D nigga can't talk on
the mic. Three D nig can't DJ it. They gonna burn.
They get up there and they do what they saw.
I don't get fo about your nigga being mad at
me saying a lot of these motherfuckers can't DJ. So
they go up there and they do what they saw.
They pottners are the promoters in Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, nigga get mad.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
They pottners of the promoters. They take it.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
They aren't they couldn't they getting paid.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Little in the second Yeah, So at the end of
the day, when you get a nigga that ain't ready
to be in positioned in position, that's what happens because
they go up there and they mimic what goes on,
so they.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Get a lot of It's not a lot of these
DJ's fault. I blame them. I blame them.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Because they stupid enough to file for it, because they
up there faking the funk. Because you know you can't
do this shit. That's why you get the same songs
in rotation. You feel what I'm saying. And at the
same time, that's just the biggest thing. Like the middle
DJ all this shit fine, but at the same time,
see if you got the rights set up with DJs,
a motherfucker know they roll, so you ain't got no
motherfucker that's going up there goddamn crashing out.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
So that's the biggest I think that's the problem with
why motherfucking DJ's burning shit out because at the end
of the day, you got a motherfucker that hasn't you
got a wall.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
They got a wall in front of the created as
they wall.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That's all they got.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
They don't know. Okay, now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Time we have some promoters to owners, we're going to
ask you have some more promo promoters who can get
some of the younger guys in on another episode. But uh,
we had somebody say, I asked a question, what determines
paying the DJ the fee that they want?
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Brand value? Meaning that you you know that the DJ
one when he posted and he puts it on his page,
his followers are going to pay attention to that.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Two.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
He doesn't just DJ at the club, he actually sits
in the space that is his own that you're like, Nah,
if you want somebody you call what's his name for that?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
He's a specialist. He ain't just all yeah.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
I could DJ reggae party, or I could DJ your
hip hop party, or I could DJ R and.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
B party, or your afrobeach. I could do that too,
But what is your specialty? What do you do?
Speaker 11 (21:57):
Great was her name posted regarding the DJ You know
jan thing that day. Half of the DJs they don't
even post where they're gonna be at. They don't even
promote where they're gonna be at. Okay, and at the
same token to I blame ownership. You know, they used
to be from New York. There were some DJs that
(22:17):
die hard followers.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh what's the.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
Name is gonna be here? Sn that's gonna be here,
Kick is gonna be here, Fle's gonna be here, Social
is gonna be here Atlanta. The DJs never bothered to
promote it themselves. As the same token, ownership never bothered
to promote the DJs. So, as a DJ, as your
name is your brand, you have to create your own
brand and you followers and when you DJing true to
(22:43):
be told, take it as your skills to that.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You guys say, what what determines you guys getting the
fee that you want?
Speaker 9 (22:51):
And you see the cat right now, let's start back.
I'm gonna run ri that same that same guy. That
same guy set up there and told me the steps
that it was gonna take to be one of these
quote unquote top DJs while I was already traveling the
(23:14):
world DJing for different artists. See what one thing gotta
feel realize about the Atlanta is why Alanta is not
the home in the mecca of southern DJs due to
the fact that you have so many DJs here. This
didn't start with just us. This ship been going on
since Drama Mars, all of them when they watched them
at the clubs.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Because determined what determines getting the DJ defeat that they want.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
He said, he just popped it on them. He popped
it on the podcast. And that's not the case. Everything
that he said is factual, your skill set, all that
shit is. But if that's the case, then why are
we not the highest paid DJ? How many people blake
unperform in front of on the regular? How many folks'll
perform in front of the regular? How many folks, Why
an't performing perform in front of you know what? You
(23:55):
know what and you know what what what these promoters
told me you DJ for them?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Artists don't matter. So at the end of the day,
how you're gonna get on the podcast and say that?
Speaker 9 (24:03):
But then when you I've had promoters tell me, bro,
you being a little one DJ don't matter to us.
Hi don't because at the end of the day, you're
gonna be quick to tell some about this little one
DJ DJ my party. If I'm killing it, bitch, you
gonna pop this shit. I ain't coming in town and
you're gonna be like, shit, ain't gonna pull up. Why
would I tell this man to pull up?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Brother?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
You are paying me beyond the bottle, girls, the ballet.
Everybody's leaving more money than me, and I'm entertainment for
the night.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
I say skill, skill, skill first in their resume.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
The reason why I don't say resume first because it's
a lot of niggas that DJ for artists that cannot
DJ clubs. So you can say you DJ for the
biggest artists, but you can't rock a club both. So
I'm not gonna put the resume first. But it's just
your talent, just overall talent. If I can come in
and god damn, I know each each table.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Is two bottles, two bottles, two bttles. And I see
these niggas popping six eight ten.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
That's my work.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
I don't give a fuck what you say.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
That's my work.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
These niggas is spending. They work from a thousand to
ten thousand.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Where is my Some of the people be your friends
to that coming to club.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
To watch all that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You're coming to DJ.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
So been there talent.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
We don't get paid for that though.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
But I will say this though, I think and hear
me out, it's gonna sound crazy. I think, especially in Atlanta,
the promoter fucked everything up, from creative parties to booking
(25:32):
DJs to booking their partners. And that's the worst thing
about it, though, Like you can be the greatest DJ
of all time, but if you're not going to the
promoter's day party tomorrow, facts and he don't want to
ride promoter. And that's the biggest thing. Like I can
honestly say, bro, and I'm just be honest with y'all. Bro,
I finessed a lot of these niggas period.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
You don't want me to cut that out.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I finished them, Bro, keep it in. It don't matter.
I understood. I understan. Listen, Bro, this is real. I
understood what these niggas was on.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Bro. What you mean by you finessity?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I know y'all not my friends for real, my nigga.
Y'all want the niggas to keep the ball ball. Y'all
wanted me to come to these day part cool. Guess
what because I got a plan and an elevation plan
to get the fuck up out of here so I
don't have to. You can say, oh, yeah, a nigga
being faking. No, it's not, bro, like what what what?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
The teacher was just saying, this is what business business.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
If it's six billionaires right across the street, you're gonna
go over there and hand your business right and be
around to get some game.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So at the end of the day, Bro, I understood that.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Okay, all I gotta do is go to these niggas,
go to this day party, and he gonna book you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It burn Brouse. Guess guess what happens?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Though, how many times this happened both, y'all, I can
count two million times.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Guess what we go to these parties. You not DJing?
What does everybody say while you at the party?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Why you not do?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's another thing?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, because you gotta step on your niggas too. I
came from stepping, so sometimes that's just what you gotta do.
You gotta show these niggas. I'm not one of the
ones you play with.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But you know what fucked up about that?
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Though?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I hate that that right on there.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
But at the same time, though, I think that's the
DJ culture. That's what we do. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
But here's the up part about it though, And it's
just moving quick on it. Like, Bro, how much stepping
do we have to do?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Because at the end of the day, our whole life
is stepping. Bro.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And I raise my hand, can I join?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Because I actually did convert from hosting the DJ And
do you know I don't dj no more.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
I can't get my fee, the money, you can't get nothing.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
That's why I don't DJ today.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I want a minimum five hundred dollars and can't.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Even get a minimum of five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And you're it's people that I know that are DJs too,
undercutting me. So the owner is gonna say, hey, Ferrari,
We've got time. I got one more question, samn BT
has one more question. Thorry y'all coming back. It's gonna
be a part two.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
We all do a part too because it's a lot.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
It's Alert DJ podcast hosted by DJ To, DJ T
Little is DJ bond BT and Bar.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
We are here from now.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Bottle Alert is cutting what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's the nigga that we all know taking half and cut.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Me out past popping it to my wife had a
baby one time for baby, I took a break.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I took a break because I deserve a break.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
The ship that we do is stressful, man, So I
took a break. I started, I came back. Everybody everybody
hit me man for I don't want to do the
six fifty no more for I don't want to do
the five.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I got got a young nigga doing it for two
fifty ship. I can't come back. Then?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Now I curate my own event? Can I be making quadriple?
Speaker 8 (28:48):
And let's be clear, some DJs is DJ for free.
It's some hosts who hosting for first drink.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Meanwhile, the Bottle girls are making three were gonna have
them on the show.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You know what I am, you know what?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Just to be quick on this.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Just has to change, bro, because at the end of
the day, this is one thing I always ask how
everybody had they change?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
But think about it.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
The bottle girls had they turn, the video vixens had
they turn where they got the super hosting fee. The
goddamn promoters then became the celect hookahs. They they getting
their money. But the DJ that's long lasting in the
club were the last one to get charged.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
And we and we are the reason. We are the reason.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
If let's to be wrong that you just named Lewis,
if you don't show up the d J, does any
of those people get paid if.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
There's no music in the clock get paid? You don't
show up. Canno, Barbie. If you ever be in the
club and you hear if.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
For real one hold you, it's over with it up?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
I mean, it's all we don't.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I want to get y'all on this clip. This is
a very important clip.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
BT got a question, what is your definition of breaking
the record?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I'm gonna let I'm gonna let you Lewis go first.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
I'm gonna first ship because I got it. But I
won't go first.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I mean my personal personal definition of breaking the record.
I mean, today's time and ship is different. In twenty
twenty five, you got TikTok, you have Instagram.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Real now it's not gone, but.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Everybody might not agree with me.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
But breaking records back then was a you have a
song that you like personally, so I come in everywhere
I go that I'm DJing.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
I'm planning the record ten times.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
That it might not be back to back back, but
I'm damn near training your brain to enjoy as much
as I do.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
So when you leave, you like, damn, what was that
song of play you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
In the club?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Shazama? A song and you hear it's repetitive. It's like
teaching a baby how to fucking walk. You gotta do
it over and over and over and over. But today's time,
it's it's a little different because you got these platforms.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
That's so I just seen somebody going in there and
said that, uh, the DJ is not needed because the
DJs don't break records no more. All right, So all
I want you all to know is that long as
people are going out to nightclubs with entertainment with DJs,
the DJ is always gonna break the record because at
(31:36):
the end of the day, everybody not on TikTok, everybody
not on Instagram, and even if they are, everybody aroam
not the same. Everybody don't pay attention and stuff the
same way. And at the same time, it just moved
a certain.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Type of way.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
If you if you're a DJ and you're in the
and you're consistently this is the key word, consistently in
a spot somewhere where you have a residency and you're DJing,
you're playing that record on the regular, that's breaking the record.
If you're on the radio on the regular, DJing on
the mix show and you play that in your mix
show every every every mix show because you enjoyed this record,
that's breaking a record. That's, in my opinion, what breaking
(32:11):
a record in today's time is. I don't care that
it'll premiered on social media on all these different pages,
because a DJ is what keeps the record going. That's
what breaks a record. A record breaks when you consistently
play it, continuously play it.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
That's what breaking a record is.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
But when you get supported the big DJs, that's they're
they're breaking is different. We'll talk about that on the
next one, because it's a different levels to Tom.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You know how you said you just gonna pop your ship.
God damn it, it's time to pop.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Let me tell you, bro, A lot of dj saying
that they break records, Bro, just because you getting on
the record when it when it first come out, or
you're getting on it, you put it on your Instagram
or this artist came and man, you not your niggas
is not breaking records.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I got twenty five plaques on my walls from breaking records.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Nigga.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'll tell you. We're gonna tell y'all niggas how to
do it. Bro. You gotta put your brand on the line, Nigga.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
A lot of those records I can literally name, but
I literally put my job on the line.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Like this the hottest ship out, nigga.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
I'm DJ Tom. I'm saying this the hottest ship out.
If you don't like it, fuck you get the funk
out of my fire. And guess what, why the fuck
he ran it back? Because it's me Boom play it again.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Do you want to know why Ferrari is such a
big fucking deal because I took all the music out
of the logs. You know, play little Baby, it's my
Dog for thirty minutes was Dad, Me and fly Gout
DC got suspended for six days on the radio. That's
you gotta take chances.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Keep in mind, you remember when when when Baby first
came out, he did the Streets Fest.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
And nobody knew who nobody knew who he was. He
had to fight security, gift Is said, and Gift it
brought him out.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Yea early and I and I remember I saw Ferrari
like literally had to like get security have the way
to get him on safe because he's like, Yo, this
dude is next. And then you fast forward a year
later a little bit literally my dog he's headlined the
streets face.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Literally crazy, right.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I want to give your flowers on that too. You're
a real record breaker, bro, DJ and the host. You
really break records.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
Bro on the hosting side, I've saen for do amazing
things with breaking records, so you do definitely.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
That's why I said.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
It kind of goes and it kind of goes into
different different plays because everybody got their way about going
about Perri makeer DJ run their bitch bag thirty times
as he's hosting.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
I bring money, though, I always bring money.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I bring niggas money and it's always random to you.
Right now the bag.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
We mentioned the bag though, before we mentioned the bag though,
for all you got there, DJs. They think it's about money,
and we're not gonna mention to you all the records
that we even motherfucking broke they had, man, and we
can't even get in touch with the artists no more.
And man, see that's breaking records because it's like we
done broke niggas records and.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
We don't even know these folks.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
You hear me your real talk? I know we about
to go. Can I just say something good? How many
millionaires you think you've made?
Speaker 6 (35:11):
God damn the whole class of two thousand? I say.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Thirty, at least thirty.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
I don't know thirty.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
We are all thirty.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
We're all thirty.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
We supported the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Can we you're doing?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
We're doing our jobs?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Well, can we please, bro?
Speaker 6 (35:30):
Can one can one of us be a millionaire?
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, imagine funneling.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Thirty black men to be millionaires and in our in
our occupation, can't get the payment.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
That we deserve.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
That's all I asked, BRO.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
But we're creating them, but we're we got to figure
out the infrastructure.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
You know the infra.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
I know what the infrastructure. The infrastructure is these labels,
the labels have the power to create wealth.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
They got the budget too.
Speaker 8 (35:59):
But the problem is, I remember, I'm not gonna say
the label, but I remember when Ferrari and d C
was interviewing a label executive and he said, who's hot?
Speaker 6 (36:09):
Us being just people that want to help artists were
in the room saying this person's hot, this person's hot.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
It signed all of them.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
And I said, ship, why not put niggas like us
in those You don't know why.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
You that's crazy When you get on the label side,
it's very dangerous over there.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I've worked there.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
I worked at a label for nine months. It was
very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
It's a lot of things that happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
That you go over there and be like, oh nah,
I don't want to be here.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I don't like this, because that's the case why I
had a real label job.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
I just didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
The structure, bro.
Speaker 9 (36:51):
But I think I think at the same time, Tom,
I agree with you saying, bro, but this just think
about it like this.
Speaker 10 (36:57):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
It's all good.
Speaker 11 (36:58):
Man.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Life goes on.
Speaker 9 (36:59):
Man, y'all know these damn job over there though, So
this is the real part of this is what I
just suggest though. Like at the same time, like you said,
you take thirty artists and you take those thirty artists
and they invest or whatever. Bro, it's it's at the
same time one of the biggest questions should go to
from a lot of artists, the DJ's is bro.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
So what you're doing up? Like what you're doing with
this shit? Bro?
Speaker 9 (37:17):
Like Nigga, you know I ain't gonna be DJing for
the rest of my life. You know it's impossible by
the time I turn fifty. You don't even want to
wrap by the time you didn't hit thirty five, So
why you think DJ in? But at the same time,
you would rather keep coming seeing nigga got damn get
it out of the mud. When you got you sitting
on forty ends of you then about thirteen bitches burkins
for sure facts all right?
Speaker 6 (37:34):

I've been that loune of ten years and now all right,
and I can honestly say, and I have said this.
I came here very aggressively. You feel what I'm saying
and over the time. Now I really do apologize to
a lot of people for that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Bro.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
You feel me because it rubbed niggas the wrong way.
But at the same time, life rubbed niggas the wrong
way it happens. It wasn't intentionally, you feel what I'm saying.
It just was a misunderstanding of me knowing how to maneuver,
and other motherfuckers don't know a niggas, So you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
At the same time, should everybody know what's up?
Speaker 9 (03:54):
Man?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That on one callaway is always love that first question,
and I want you to each go and be as
timely as you can.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What made you want to become a DJ?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Damn control? Okay?
Speaker 9 (04:10):
I wanted to have some aspect of control in something
I was doing, and I saw that if I was
I saw the power in music and how to control
people emotions. High control the room. I controlled the admisphere.
You feel what I'm saying. You cut a song gone,
and I can make you feel like you want to cry.
I can cut a song gone, I can make you
(04:30):
feel like you're the heaviest person alive. I can cut
another song on. I can make you feel like you
want to call your ex baby Mama. Feel what I'm saying.
I just saw it as that level of control that
I can really control my environment. And I became a
person after throwing parties for so long, and I mean
in high school, I kind of got to the point
where I was like, bro, like, I want to control
these environments. I like throwing parties, so how can I
(04:52):
continue doing this and make some money? And I had
a passion for this shit like it was that was
the next level for me. Appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Yeah, it was. It was the control of my environment.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Okay, I got to say, and mine was just the
love of music, you know I was. I started DJ
when I was twelve years old. So my dad was
the hip hop side. My mom was the R and
B side, So I was like, I was always around
older people, so I just I'm seeing niggas DJ. I'm
just like, oh, this is what I want to do.
I can make money off of it too. I don't
got to get a job.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Oh I'm DJ. And then I taught myself how DJ
and I fell in love with it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, I ain't even want to be no DJ. I
wanted to go to the NFL.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Bro on God, because you played ballall you couldn't have Yeah,
you couldn't have told me I wasn't going to the NFL.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
On God.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But you know, God made things happen in your life.
You get injured and whatnot. The funniest story about it, BRO, Like.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
When I became a DJ, BRO, it was on some
like virtual DJ.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You know how you used to get pop ups on
our laptops, Bro, I hit the wrong thing on my computer.
Pop up popped up and downloaded Virtual DJ on my
computer like automatically, and I got it started playing with
it while we supposed to be in I'm running the clock,
like playing the DJ shit got to it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But I like the DJ ship because it's like competition.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It reminds me of football, Like you can get up
there and compete with whoever, whether it be the crowd,
whether it be the DJ before you, the DJ after you.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I just love the competition in it, Like it just
feel like I can. I could turn this.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Bitch up, and it's just my opinion better than anybody
in the world in this particular moment.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So like, that's kind of what I feel in love.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
With about the shit. Now, how did you start becoming
a tour DJ out of nowhere?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
To be honest, like, I took over the college campuses.
I started DJing all the local parties in the city
and whatnot. I seen like the y'all remember that movement
that that twenty is like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, like
Migo Stug like emotional everybody. Yeah yeah, yeah, like everything
just started to move Atlanta and I'm just watching like
(06:51):
all right, we know this nigga he gone, We know
this nigga he gone. And essentially, like in that time,
if you are a prominent DJ, essentially all you had
to do is.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Just kind of like wait your turn, just conversations.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
And you you support the artists, like all the DJ
the hottest DJs a out right now. We literally were
all DJ together at certain clubs. He might be the
open on this night. I might be the closer on
this night.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Boom. It just so happened.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You know, an artist, he come to your club, you
see you killing the club. He's like, man, I want
to bring this dude on tour. And it just so
happened like that with Black I met him through today.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, what's so funny? Bro Tune that used to be
a DJ. Yes, a lot of people don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
There's some parties too, Yeah, Team Millionaires him jam like
all of them, yeah all together. It was not but
he used to be a DJ. DJ incredible, but he
wound up bringing me drums.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Hard.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
He's actually good as DJ's a hard name.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
He wound up. Then they had drum at the time.
I like to Chad and at that time, I'm breaking records.
I'm breaking it cool. He like, got this new artist
named Black, I want you to work with him.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
I'm like, who.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
We go to rehearsals, I pull up, I'm thinking to
somebody I don't know. I already knew Black from like
twenty thirteen. Just we just clicked organic. Yeah, it just
so happened like that. We've been lot there ever since.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Now, Vaughn, you have a really good relationship, you know,
with the artists that you DJ for, and I feel
like a lot of DJs that they don't get that
access to an artists. What what made you feel like
you can start to tell, like, Okay, I got a
better relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
With the artists that I'm working with than most people.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Well, when I first started a lot of Lotto, Yeah,
well before a lot of when I first started touring
DC and Rorri had guns why being I mere needed DJ.
I I think that was the first person out of
j for almost everybody.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I don't bounce around but me and lotto was.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
We was friends way before I became her DJ, so
she was always the young team performer at the pet rallies,
at throwing parties on the South Side. So when we linked,
it was more of a The chemistry was already built
because we had the best friend relationship, so it was
easy to really lock in and not make it just business.
(09:07):
We made the business fun personal, you know what I'm saying.
So after we locked in, it was just.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
When she performs and you perform with her, I can
tell you guys are friends. I can look at the
performance and here and tell you guys are friends for
hard because you can't duplicate, right, you can't copy that facts,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
And I know some DJs probably be jealous of you,
like you know, birthdays come around and you know you.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Get yeah, But that that comes from the relationship we built,
not personally in business. She scratched my back, I scratched
her back. I helped make the show also, so she
shows that appreciation.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
So I respect her for that. A lot of artists
don't respect.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Their DJs exactly like a lot of artists don't respect
the DJs.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
More time for the people in the back.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
A lot of artists do not respect they dj is
no matter how much hard work they put in, they
just don't have respect.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
For him whisper one time a lot of artists.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
But that's what makes me like a lot of more
as an artist.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
When I see your relationship, it makes me like her
more as an artist.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It's so hard and seen her brother And this is
some random ship Vronkaby DJing, random ass club that shr
hold two hundred people, sull.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Pull up and that's important.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Don't do that.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
That's important because that makes your value go up when
promoters and club owners can see, Okay, you DJ Falato,
and we might book you, and you might charge more
than the average DJ because you said you never know
who's gonna pull up. And I have seen it for
your birthdays. I'd have seen it from random clubs that
you've done. And she popped up and supported. Now t
(10:54):
lewis you work with the greatest rapperlive?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
How is that a journey? Speaking to the micro sir.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
On journey, I mean he's the greatest rapper alive. I
mean one thing about it. I was conditioned.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
I hate to say it like this, bro, but I
think I was more so conditioned to do this job,
train more so because I start out to do it,
right said.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I was in Jackson and I was just really at
the point of my life.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
I ain't gonna say a point of my life when
I when I started DJing, I was like, bro I
gotta get out of Jackson. So my goal was like,
I got DJ for somebody I'll never forget. I was
in Jackson and I got a phone call the DJ
for Travis Porter because I broke just helped break Travisport
in Jackson. Right, you know, they were doing the tour
in China.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
And the boy hit me. I said, hey, TV, come
out here, turn it with the boys. Da da da dah.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
I said, oh, all right, for sure, I said, tell
me the detail. They told me the details, right, I cried,
I ain't take it, but I had the opportunities coming,
but I stood on a lot of shit.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You feel what I'm saying. I even like the details.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Details was not anything that could have made anything happen
for Tilts to go to China. You know what that
sound like. And there want no disrespect to the boys.
You feel what I'm saying. But they had already had
a budget and the DJ that they had at the time.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
That's what he was taking.
Speaker 9 (12:18):
He was taking it. So they was like, hey, this
is what we got right now. It was my college homecoming.
In that two week span that was going on, I
had enough events that was going to quadruple the money
that they were saying.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
So I was like, I can't really do that, So
I gave up that opportunity.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
I had people coming to the city actually grabbing me
like hey let's.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Go do X, Y and Z. But I'm still in Jackson,
do you feel me?
Speaker 9 (12:37):
I sawed out to go for wine though, Like from
the jump, I was a huge Waye fan, so doing
that me being around Tis, one thing I was grateful
for was Tis was always about one. He always scooled
me like, hey, this is how he is. He's his
mannerisms like this, he liked this. When you when you
start DJ in form, Bro, you gotta know this, you
gotta know that. And I took all at the heart.
(12:59):
So with that's why I say it's a journey because
I've been I've been waitning ten years now.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Bro, you feel what I'm saying. Wow, and me being
wayning ten.
Speaker 9 (13:06):
Years Bro, I've watched so much from Bro and learned
so much from Bro. That's like, it's nothing bad I
can say because at the end of the day, this
is is really his world.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Bro.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
You feel what I'm saying, right, And the great part
about our chemistry is he let me do what I
do and I support what he do. You feel what
I'm saying, so I have no complaints.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And I would say DJ and for Wayne You'll be
You'll funk around and be in like Australia and Artist Russia.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
Lifetime artists. You gotta understand what you're getting yourself into.
This is a lifetime artist. You feel what I'm saying.
At the end of the day, he's going to perform
forever longest he's willing to and long as God listens
him to. You feel what I'm saying, and you being
his artist, you have to understand that you feel what
I'm saying. And that's why you know what I'm saying.
Like I said, it's a journey, Bro, because we were just.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
We was in Hawaii. Bro left Hawaiian with the Taypeland.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
When I'm really living like that though with legacy artists,
especially him.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yeah, I'm saying it happened like that. You feel me.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
At the same time, if Big Tuna didn't have, you
know what I'm saying, his own personal restrictions on certain things,
he'll probably be a lot more places than be Like, man, damn,
he just went there.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
You feel the saying because the phone calls come in.
Speaker 9 (14:17):
But honestly, being his DJ, bro, I feel just as
blessed and pleased as these guys. But the difference is
see O DJ for artists that Like when I was DJ,
forgot it. That was a long term relationship because God
was coming to the club seeing me DJ and called
and was like, hey, bro, come come, I got some
for you right now, come do x Y and Z.
(14:39):
I never forget when he first sat me on the
road with Wayne, he was like, boy, you finally got.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Out of Jackson.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
But yeah, we was in Saint Louis. He had just
signed Black Youngs. He looked and he looked and he
was like, boy, you finally got out, Like, yeah, what's up?
Like I got some play? He started calling me. Then
that's when Bag did the same thing. Bag came to
the club, sat in the club.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Little Larry, I.
Speaker 9 (14:57):
Mean little Larry Larry been coming to Jackson, miss for
the longest partying with me, that's two hours away. So
even with your relationship with like your friend relationship with
your artists, I admire that I have a friend relationship
with tune, but I tall I for the same time.
The business absolutely before he called, soon before he called,
or when he's calling, because why don't want them people?
(15:18):
Why don't want them people like they prip you like
they gonna they tuned in ther bit for show.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Some super they're.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Gonna they're gonna hit you lees about stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
But go ahead, big dog gonna hit you.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
One of the big dogs gonna hit you like the
fin hit your bit for show.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
He hits you in.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
You gotta know they gained the conversation. And one thing
I know how to gage the conversation out for the
first is guess what this is a business conversation?
Speaker 6 (15:43):
First? What's up with it? Sir? You're good? Yeah? Everything good?
All right?
Speaker 9 (15:48):
For shure noah, nigga, I want to do this da
da da. Conversations don't go like that because nine times
out of the team, he ain't really calling me on
that ship like this. I put Wayne Shaws together. You
feel what I'm saying. So from sit list and design
and all this ship I do that, trust me to
do that. So that's why I say DJ for him
is a journey, bro, But it's amazing.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
All right, already turn it up.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
First topic to you go?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
First?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Uh, what does it mean for DJ to burn another
DJ out in the club?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Turn it right?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Turn right?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Okay, I feel like we're all experienced enough to understand
of like all of us have been burned.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You know what I'm saying. As far as DJI. You
know what I'm saying, Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Crazy Essentially being burned in the club while you're DJing
is let's just say I'm the closer, right.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I come in. It's a it's an unstated.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
DJ rule that we have, like we all know, especially
like in Thattlanta. Because what I've also realized is like
I learned it the burning thing in Atlanta, but then
when I got to travel, I started to understand, like
it's really not a thing.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So I'm just touch on the Atlanta want about. It's
a certain way we run our parties in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
That's we set it up.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yeah, it's a build up, you know what I'm saying.
No matter how many people there, you got to be
able to control this many people. Here's where the burning
comes into play. Let's just say you have three DJs
right ten to twelve. This DJ is supposed to, you know,
just get the music, get the people to the bar,
get the you know, get the people cooling. The middle
DJ is supposed to be the DJ that gets the
(17:41):
crowd growing.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
But not like it's prime time.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
It's just.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Middle DJ if you asked me. But let's keep going, but.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Do not play the hit records until most of the
time it's three DJs, and then depending on what time
you closet. But this middle DJ is probably the most
important because if he DJ is correctly, it don't matter
what the hell I play, They're gonna turn up and
(18:17):
have a great time.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
You know what I'm saying. But here's where the problem
in Atlanta is the middle DJ thinks he's the mother
fucking close.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It's when DJ thinks he's the closing.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You're playing these records knowing that.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
These are the hottest records, thinking that you're getting the
response of I'm a great DJ, when it only means
you're only playing the hottest records. You actually look way
better when I'm not playing records that niggas haven't heard before,
and I got it rocking like I'm playing the hottest record.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Out just because you in the middle and you have
a mass, a massive crowd. Like tone said, it doesn't
mean you go hit for hit for hit for hit
for hit.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's don't hit you can play.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
It's all hits. You can so many h.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
You can play. You you have fun.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
You know what I'm saying. You not the priority artists tonight.
It's okay to relax, you know what I'm saying. That's
what DJs don't understand. They see a club with five
hundred people. Let's just say the club is packed at
ten o'clock. DJ is getting nervous and they don't know.
Let me play a song from twenty twelve, fourteen, fifteen sixteen.
(19:33):
I got five hundred people in this club. I gotta
play every a song right now. That's what they don't understand.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
With burning out to me, niggas don't have crazy bro Leuis.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
I'm gonna be real with you.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
You looking at three of the cold as motherfucker you
ever gonna see, and goddamn life see the nigga ain't
gonna pop it.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I'm gonna pop it on.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
I'm gonna tell you like this here. The problem is
why this shit going on here? Cause one D nick
can't DJ tell you, two D nigga can't talk on
the mic. Three D nig can't DJ it. They gonna burn.
They get up there and they do what they saw.
I don't get fo about your nigga being mad at
me saying a lot of these motherfuckers can't DJ. So
they go up there and they do what they saw.
They pottners are the promoters in Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, nigga get mad.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
They pottners of the promoters. They take it.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
They aren't they couldn't they getting paid.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
Little in the second Yeah, So at the end of
the day, when you get a nigga that ain't ready
to be in positioned in position, that's what happens because
they go up there and they mimic what goes on,
so they.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Get a lot of It's not a lot of these
DJ's fault. I blame them. I blame them.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Because they stupid enough to file for it, because they
up there faking the funk. Because you know you can't
do this shit. That's why you get the same songs
in rotation. You feel what I'm saying. And at the
same time, that's just the biggest thing. Like the middle
DJ all this shit fine, but at the same time,
see if you got the rights set up with DJs,
a motherfucker know they roll, so you ain't got no
motherfucker that's going up there goddamn crashing out.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
So that's the biggest I think that's the problem with
why motherfucking DJ's burning shit out because at the end
of the day, you got a motherfucker that hasn't you
got a wall.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
They got a wall in front of the created as
they wall.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That's all they got.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
They don't know. Okay, now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Time we have some promoters to owners, we're going to
ask you have some more promo promoters who can get
some of the younger guys in on another episode. But uh,
we had somebody say, I asked a question, what determines
paying the DJ the fee that they want?
Speaker 10 (21:28):
Brand value? Meaning that you you know that the DJ
one when he posted and he puts it on his page,
his followers are going to pay attention to that.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Two.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
He doesn't just DJ at the club, he actually sits
in the space that is his own that you're like, Nah,
if you want somebody you call what's his name for that?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
He's a specialist. He ain't just all yeah.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
I could DJ reggae party, or I could DJ your
hip hop party, or I could DJ R and.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
B party, or your afrobeach. I could do that too,
But what is your specialty? What do you do?
Speaker 11 (21:57):
Great was her name posted regarding the DJ You know
jan thing that day. Half of the DJs they don't
even post where they're gonna be at. They don't even
promote where they're gonna be at. Okay, and at the
same token to I blame ownership. You know, they used
to be from New York. There were some DJs that
(22:17):
die hard followers.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh what's the.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
Name is gonna be here? Sn that's gonna be here,
Kick is gonna be here, Fle's gonna be here, Social
is gonna be here Atlanta. The DJs never bothered to
promote it themselves. As the same token, ownership never bothered
to promote the DJs. So, as a DJ, as your
name is your brand, you have to create your own
brand and you followers and when you DJing true to
(22:43):
be told, take it as your skills to that.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You guys say, what what determines you guys getting the
fee that you want?
Speaker 9 (22:51):
And you see the cat right now, let's start back.
I'm gonna run ri that same that same guy. That
same guy set up there and told me the steps
that it was gonna take to be one of these
quote unquote top DJs while I was already traveling the
(23:14):
world DJing for different artists. See what one thing gotta
feel realize about the Atlanta is why Alanta is not
the home in the mecca of southern DJs due to
the fact that you have so many DJs here. This
didn't start with just us. This ship been going on
since Drama Mars, all of them when they watched them
at the clubs.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Because determined what determines getting the DJ defeat that they want.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
He said, he just popped it on them. He popped
it on the podcast. And that's not the case. Everything
that he said is factual, your skill set, all that
shit is. But if that's the case, then why are
we not the highest paid DJ? How many people blake
unperform in front of on the regular? How many folks'll
perform in front of the regular? How many folks, Why
an't performing perform in front of you know what? You
(23:55):
know what and you know what what what these promoters
told me you DJ for them?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Artists don't matter. So at the end of the day,
how you're gonna get on the podcast and say that?
Speaker 9 (24:03):
But then when you I've had promoters tell me, bro,
you being a little one DJ don't matter to us.
Hi don't because at the end of the day, you're
gonna be quick to tell some about this little one
DJ DJ my party. If I'm killing it, bitch, you
gonna pop this shit. I ain't coming in town and
you're gonna be like, shit, ain't gonna pull up. Why
would I tell this man to pull up?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Brother?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
You are paying me beyond the bottle, girls, the ballet.
Everybody's leaving more money than me, and I'm entertainment for
the night.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
I say skill, skill, skill first in their resume.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
The reason why I don't say resume first because it's
a lot of niggas that DJ for artists that cannot
DJ clubs. So you can say you DJ for the
biggest artists, but you can't rock a club both. So
I'm not gonna put the resume first. But it's just
your talent, just overall talent. If I can come in
and god damn, I know each each table.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Is two bottles, two bottles, two bttles. And I see
these niggas popping six eight ten.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
That's my work.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
I don't give a fuck what you say.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
That's my work.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
These niggas is spending. They work from a thousand to
ten thousand.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Where is my Some of the people be your friends
to that coming to club.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
To watch all that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You're coming to DJ.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
So been there talent.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
We don't get paid for that though.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
But I will say this though, I think and hear
me out, it's gonna sound crazy. I think, especially in Atlanta,
the promoter fucked everything up, from creative parties to booking
(25:32):
DJs to booking their partners. And that's the worst thing
about it, though, Like you can be the greatest DJ
of all time, but if you're not going to the
promoter's day party tomorrow, facts and he don't want to
ride promoter. And that's the biggest thing. Like I can
honestly say, bro, and I'm just be honest with y'all. Bro,
I finessed a lot of these niggas period.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
You don't want me to cut that out.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I finished them, Bro, keep it in. It don't matter.
I understood. I understan. Listen, Bro, this is real. I
understood what these niggas was on.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Bro. What you mean by you finessity?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
I know y'all not my friends for real, my nigga.
Y'all want the niggas to keep the ball ball. Y'all
wanted me to come to these day part cool. Guess
what because I got a plan and an elevation plan
to get the fuck up out of here so I
don't have to. You can say, oh, yeah, a nigga
being faking. No, it's not, bro, like what what what?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
The teacher was just saying, this is what business business.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
If it's six billionaires right across the street, you're gonna
go over there and hand your business right and be
around to get some game.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
So at the end of the day, Bro, I understood that.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Okay, all I gotta do is go to these niggas,
go to this day party, and he gonna book you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It burn Brouse. Guess guess what happens?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Though, how many times this happened both, y'all, I can
count two million times.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Guess what we go to these parties. You not DJing?
What does everybody say while you at the party?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Why you not do?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's another thing?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, because you gotta step on your niggas too. I
came from stepping, so sometimes that's just what you gotta do.
You gotta show these niggas. I'm not one of the
ones you play with.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But you know what fucked up about that?
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Though?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I hate that that right on there.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
But at the same time, though, I think that's the
DJ culture. That's what we do. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
But here's the up part about it though, And it's
just moving quick on it. Like, Bro, how much stepping
do we have to do?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Because at the end of the day, our whole life
is stepping. Bro.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And I raise my hand, can I join?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Because I actually did convert from hosting the DJ And
do you know I don't dj no more.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
I can't get my fee, the money, you can't get nothing.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
That's why I don't DJ today.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I want a minimum five hundred dollars and can't.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Even get a minimum of five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And you're it's people that I know that are DJs too,
undercutting me. So the owner is gonna say, hey, Ferrari,
We've got time. I got one more question, samn BT
has one more question. Thorry y'all coming back. It's gonna
be a part two.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
We all do a part too because it's a lot.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
It's Alert DJ podcast hosted by DJ To, DJ T
Little is DJ bond BT and Bar.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
We are here from now.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Bottle Alert is cutting what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's the nigga that we all know taking half and cut.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Me out past popping it to my wife had a
baby one time for baby, I took a break.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I took a break because I deserve a break.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
The ship that we do is stressful, man, So I
took a break. I started, I came back. Everybody everybody
hit me man for I don't want to do the
six fifty no more for I don't want to do
the five.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I got got a young nigga doing it for two
fifty ship. I can't come back. Then?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Now I curate my own event? Can I be making quadriple?
Speaker 8 (28:48):
And let's be clear, some DJs is DJ for free.
It's some hosts who hosting for first drink.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Meanwhile, the Bottle girls are making three were gonna have
them on the show.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You know what I am, you know what?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Just to be quick on this.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Just has to change, bro, because at the end of
the day, this is one thing I always ask how
everybody had they change?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
But think about it.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
The bottle girls had they turn, the video vixens had
they turn where they got the super hosting fee. The
goddamn promoters then became the celect hookahs. They they getting
their money. But the DJ that's long lasting in the
club were the last one to get charged.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
And we and we are the reason. We are the reason.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
If let's to be wrong that you just named Lewis,
if you don't show up the d J, does any
of those people get paid if.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
There's no music in the clock get paid? You don't
show up. Canno, Barbie. If you ever be in the
club and you hear if.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
For real one hold you, it's over with it up?
Speaker 6 (29:55):
I mean, it's all we don't.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I want to get y'all on this clip. This is
a very important clip.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
BT got a question, what is your definition of breaking
the record?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I'm gonna let I'm gonna let you Lewis go first.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
I'm gonna first ship because I got it. But I
won't go first.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I mean my personal personal definition of breaking the record.
I mean, today's time and ship is different. In twenty
twenty five, you got TikTok, you have Instagram.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Real now it's not gone, but.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Everybody might not agree with me.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
But breaking records back then was a you have a
song that you like personally, so I come in everywhere
I go that I'm DJing.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
I'm planning the record ten times.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
That it might not be back to back back, but
I'm damn near training your brain to enjoy as much
as I do.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
So when you leave, you like, damn, what was that
song of play you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
In the club?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Shazama? A song and you hear it's repetitive. It's like
teaching a baby how to fucking walk. You gotta do
it over and over and over and over. But today's time,
it's it's a little different because you got these platforms.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
That's so I just seen somebody going in there and
said that, uh, the DJ is not needed because the
DJs don't break records no more. All right, So all
I want you all to know is that long as
people are going out to nightclubs with entertainment with DJs,
the DJ is always gonna break the record because at
(31:36):
the end of the day, everybody not on TikTok, everybody
not on Instagram, and even if they are, everybody aroam
not the same. Everybody don't pay attention and stuff the
same way. And at the same time, it just moved
a certain.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Type of way.
Speaker 9 (31:47):
If you if you're a DJ and you're in the
and you're consistently this is the key word, consistently in
a spot somewhere where you have a residency and you're DJing,
you're playing that record on the regular, that's breaking the record.
If you're on the radio on the regular, DJing on
the mix show and you play that in your mix
show every every every mix show because you enjoyed this record,
that's breaking a record. That's, in my opinion, what breaking
(32:11):
a record in today's time is. I don't care that
it'll premiered on social media on all these different pages,
because a DJ is what keeps the record going. That's
what breaks a record. A record breaks when you consistently
play it, continuously play it.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
That's what breaking a record is.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
But when you get supported the big DJs, that's they're
they're breaking is different. We'll talk about that on the
next one, because it's a different levels to Tom.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You know how you said you just gonna pop your ship.
God damn it, it's time to pop.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Let me tell you, bro, A lot of dj saying
that they break records, Bro, just because you getting on
the record when it when it first come out, or
you're getting on it, you put it on your Instagram
or this artist came and man, you not your niggas
is not breaking records.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I got twenty five plaques on my walls from breaking records.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Nigga.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'll tell you. We're gonna tell y'all niggas how to
do it. Bro. You gotta put your brand on the line, Nigga.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
A lot of those records I can literally name, but
I literally put my job on the line.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Like this the hottest ship out, nigga.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
I'm DJ Tom. I'm saying this the hottest ship out.
If you don't like it, fuck you get the funk
out of my fire. And guess what, why the fuck
he ran it back? Because it's me Boom play it again.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Do you want to know why Ferrari is such a
big fucking deal because I took all the music out
of the logs. You know, play little Baby, it's my
Dog for thirty minutes was Dad, Me and fly Gout
DC got suspended for six days on the radio. That's
you gotta take chances.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Keep in mind, you remember when when when Baby first
came out, he did the Streets Fest.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
And nobody knew who nobody knew who he was. He
had to fight security, gift Is said, and Gift it
brought him out.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
Yea early and I and I remember I saw Ferrari
like literally had to like get security have the way
to get him on safe because he's like, Yo, this
dude is next. And then you fast forward a year
later a little bit literally my dog he's headlined the
streets face.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Literally crazy, right.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I want to give your flowers on that too. You're
a real record breaker, bro, DJ and the host. You
really break records.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
Bro on the hosting side, I've saen for do amazing
things with breaking records, so you do definitely.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
That's why I said.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
It kind of goes and it kind of goes into
different different plays because everybody got their way about going
about Perri makeer DJ run their bitch bag thirty times
as he's hosting.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
I bring money, though, I always bring money.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I bring niggas money and it's always random to you.
Right now the bag.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
We mentioned the bag though, before we mentioned the bag though,
for all you got there, DJs. They think it's about money,
and we're not gonna mention to you all the records
that we even motherfucking broke they had, man, and we
can't even get in touch with the artists no more.
And man, see that's breaking records because it's like we
done broke niggas records and.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
We don't even know these folks.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
You hear me your real talk? I know we about
to go. Can I just say something good? How many
millionaires you think you've made?
Speaker 6 (35:11):
God damn the whole class of two thousand? I say.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Thirty, at least thirty.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
I don't know thirty.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
We are all thirty.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
We're all thirty.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
We supported the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Can we you're doing?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
We're doing our jobs?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Well, can we please, bro?
Speaker 6 (35:30):
Can one can one of us be a millionaire?
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, imagine funneling.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Thirty black men to be millionaires and in our in
our occupation, can't get the payment.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
That we deserve.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
That's all I asked, BRO.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
But we're creating them, but we're we got to figure
out the infrastructure.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
You know the infra.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
I know what the infrastructure. The infrastructure is these labels,
the labels have the power to create wealth.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
They got the budget too.
Speaker 8 (35:59):
But the problem is, I remember, I'm not gonna say
the label, but I remember when Ferrari and d C
was interviewing a label executive and he said, who's hot?
Speaker 6 (36:09):
Us being just people that want to help artists were
in the room saying this person's hot, this person's hot.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
It signed all of them.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
And I said, ship, why not put niggas like us
in those You don't know why.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
You that's crazy When you get on the label side,
it's very dangerous over there.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I've worked there.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
I worked at a label for nine months. It was
very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
It's a lot of things that happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
That you go over there and be like, oh nah,
I don't want to be here.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I don't like this, because that's the case why I
had a real label job.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
I just didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
The structure, bro.
Speaker 9 (36:51):
But I think I think at the same time, Tom,
I agree with you saying, bro, but this just think
about it like this.
Speaker 10 (36:57):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
It's all good.
Speaker 11 (36:58):
Man.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Life goes on.
Speaker 9 (36:59):
Man, y'all know these damn job over there though, So
this is the real part of this is what I
just suggest though. Like at the same time, like you said,
you take thirty artists and you take those thirty artists
and they invest or whatever. Bro, it's it's at the
same time one of the biggest questions should go to
from a lot of artists, the DJ's is bro.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
So what you're doing up? Like what you're doing with
this shit? Bro?
Speaker 9 (37:17):
Like Nigga, you know I ain't gonna be DJing for
the rest of my life. You know it's impossible by
the time I turn fifty. You don't even want to
wrap by the time you didn't hit thirty five, So
why you think DJ in? But at the same time,
you would rather keep coming seeing nigga got damn get
it out of the mud. When you got you sitting
on forty ends of you then about thirteen bitches burkins

Speaker 6 (37:34):
