Speaker 2 (00:27):
And it's like, have you seen a difference between and
I know your little one not even a year yet, right,
but have you seen a difference between Bash and k
Have you seen a difference like even already even in
you as a as a dad.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I think, just me as a dad, I'm in a
better space, like just as my age, my time and experience.
But I'm glad, you know, I've been able to have
Sebastian and to learn and to grow through parents and him.
And I'm still learning stuff about parents thro him. Like
you know, I learned how much time I got to
spend just actually talking to him because we do a
(01:05):
lot of stuff, and we chill and we kick it,
but sometimes we need to just talk, like with him,
just freely, like you know what I'm just saying, just
saying stuff like and just me listening. And I just
now learned that with him and with my daughter, you
know what I mean. She's nine months, so it's like
I'm just singing everything to her, so she smiles.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You're not singing baby Girl on the Way to her?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Are you? The lyrics?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The lyrics?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Oh lord? Why are you bringing up my lib.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I know the song?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Alright, that's right out the way. I don't even need
to go down. I don't need to make it to
a course or anything. I maybe Girl on the Way.
We've been working for a while.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
There. It is.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Hey, man, it's crazy because now whereas my daughter is sixteen, right,
and that's what keep me at you know, protecting myself
shooting range just in case, you know, and my son
just turned eighteen. And like how you were saying, even
with bad it's like you, this parent thing is every day,
you know what I'm saying, And no matter what tour,
what album, whatever, this is the hardest job that we
(02:24):
have in our lives. Man, is building human beings, you know,
and what they see and what they hear, and even
with not even when people say traumas, people say trauma
is like a bad word, but even some of the
things and patterns and traumas that we learned that we
didn't even know. And now that you recognize things, you're like, oh,
I can't even lay that on my kids. Yeah, you know,
(02:46):
it's a different way of parenting, definitely.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah. Man, it's a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
And there's things that you never thought that you would
have to talk to your kid about that you end
up having to have conversations about. And it's like, okay,
do not what would I do in this situation? But
how do I help them now navigate through this? Because
I'm not them, like you know what I'm saying, I
didn't even go through what they're telling me that they're
going through right now, or I never even said what
(03:11):
they said what they just told me right now?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So how do I even, like, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Where's you got to continue to hang out with us?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Man?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Y'all stick around?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We got more of a Wiz Colley for in the neighborhood,
Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This is big Boy on demand.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Ladies and gentlemen back in the neighborhood, my guy, and
this smells beautiful in here.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We got Whiz Colley for in the neighborhood. Did you
work out every morning?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I work out every day.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Hey, Whiz, I remember years ago you told us. You
was like, yeah, man, I'm gonna put on some sides.
I'm gonna take martial arts. And you know, you listen
to people when you're like, all right, you know what
I'm saying, and you haven't stopped. You know who told
us that you was gonna hold on and you was
gonna do it? Amber She was right, Hey, dude, she
said whatever. He when he says he's going to do something,
(03:52):
she was like, he do it. And are you still
You're still into martial arts now?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, it's been eight years.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Jesus Chris Fire, secure and everything walking around the streets.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, you like, hey, man, what brought you to martial arts? Though?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Man, really, I just reached the age where I felt
like I needed another discipline in my life. And music
is cool and stuff like that, but martial arts helps
me be a better person. The more that I started
to do it, the more I realized that it was
bringing the best out of me.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Just And what about the energy of people that you
connected with too?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Absolutely, I meet a lot of great people. And just
being around people who are awesome at what they do.
I think that just helps me elevate my game. And
you know, music is one thing, and being creative, being
in the studio, I love that. But in martial arts,
you just get a little bit better every day. So
I kind of just got hooked on getting just a
(04:49):
little bit better every day and it just feels really good.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And what's the discipline you study you practice?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Are you MMA or Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I mixed martial arts, but it's mainly I mainly do
stand up and striking, so it's like boxing, kickboxing, muay
Thai and taekwondo.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's why I was going to ask you about the
movie Ti.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, Muyti.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
When did you start MOVIEI Tai same.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Time everything, Like I've been doing it for eight years.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
What were your sheins like?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Because usually with Mooie ta Yeah, you know, they throw
a lot of people in there, they like five you
know what I'm saying. I couldn't imagine somebody saying a
man in my twenties thirty like a yeah, mooe tar. Yeah, yeah,
I'll be like, man, you can hit me from here up,
but don't kick nothing below.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It takes a lot of like, you know, repetition, you know,
because the bag it's definitely a hard bag, or the
pads they're not soft. But after a while, you kind
of get used to them and you learn how to
like position your body and balance and that's when you
really learn how to hit and follow through. And after
a while you don't even feel it.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Hey man, you really stayed with it?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I've been playing around with it for like at least
my son is eighteen. I've been playing around with it
for the last at least seventeen years. Yeah, yeah, man,
I'm going to advance white belt. Okay, right now, you
know you see my video, Whiz it ain't over. I'll
continue to hang out with us.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We got more with Wiz Khalif for Cushion O J two.
We're gonna speak on it Big Boys Neighborhood.

YouTube channel, big Boy TV, and check out Radio big
Boy dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Pushing Orange Juice to It is here and Wiz Khalifa
is in the neighborhood. I never heard the connection. And
maybe you heard it, you know, or you felt it
from somebody, but I never felt like, you know how
some people saying, man, I missed.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
The old Kanye.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I never really heard I missed the old Wiz. Had
you heard I did?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah? Absolutely, yep, damn that's good.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But but what how does that make you? Not make
you feel?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But but because we I think I went on a
wiz Kali for growth and I never felt a bandit
and I never felt like, man, what this do? Because
I remember one time, Man, I was on a radio
like affiliate hit and I think I was in Utah
or something. We just happened to stop by. We happen
to be in the same city and stayed at the
same time. And I remember I went to your show
(07:11):
and I was watching the show and I was like,
Wizz is a rock star.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's the first time it hit me.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And I think with that, I think you've you've had
a chance to have, you know, not different wizes. But
we just all say, man, that's where it's khalifa. Yeah
you know what I'm saying. If it's Wiz talking about
blowing trees, if it's you know, if it's Wiz, want
to take you to one of the most beautiful songs.
You know what I'm saying, it's all whiz. So that's
crazy that you say. I've heard people say I missed
(07:37):
the old.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Like I've heard people say, But I think that those
people thought that I forgot about my core just because
I branched out and am successful at other things. And
I just feel like me being in my bag is
me being in my bag. But as a fan, I
see how that can get, you know, blurry, because I'm
not making the music that there you to me making
(08:00):
on a consistent basis. And while that music I love
and it's the core, that's not what pays the bills.
So I have to be great at, you know, making
hits and worldwide music as well, in which, like you said,
when you come to the show, you can experience that
you can see the difference between the reaction of the
(08:22):
core stuff and when the hits come on.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I just did a show where I came out and
I was doing the core stuff and it was nice,
it was amazing, But as soon as the hits came on,
everybody got out of their seat.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So you can't blame me for that.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
But those are also the people who say I miss
old Whiz and things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
But I don't take offense to it.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I just feel like my music is people have a
connection with my music, so it's bigger than just the music.
It's the experience that they had to it. So they
just want those memories again. They want to feel like
that again all over again, and they want to push
me to be the best version of myself to create
that for them, not asking me to do anything that
(09:02):
I can't really do. They're like, I just want you
to get in your bag and do what I'm used
to you doing. I want you to dress how I'm
used to you dressing. I want you to wrap how
I'm used to you rapping, and I'll be good.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Hey man, how do you take that though, because you're
you're extra good with it as opposed he man, you know, you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Know I take with me.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
N I take it well because my career is based
off of my connection with my fans.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I wouldn't be here for so many years later, you know,
and you know that, Yeah, absolutely, I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for my fans. Explaining to people how
cool I am or you know the reason that they
you should listen to my mixtape or watch my video
or come to my show. My fans are the ones
who do that, and then the higher ups then they
start messing with me.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
You've been rocking with me forever because you've seen how
hard I work. But you know, if you're just a
fan of Whis Khalifa, you know me better than anybody,
you know what I'm saying. So that's that's why I understand.
And I'm cool with connecting with them and doing stuff
just for them and seeing, you know, seeing the results
from it, because I know that they're the ones who's
(10:10):
going to take me to the next levels of my career.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Where's you got to continue to hang out with us? Man,
y'all stick around. We got more of a Wiz Colley
for in the neighborhood, Big boys neighborhood.

the smells beautiful in here.
Speaker 3 (10:25):

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Amen, have you ever stopped like I remember Dog at
one point, Dog stopped for real? Yeah, man, like a
real stop, not like one of the day I'm giving
up smoke and it wasn't real. He was trying to
sell to you, you know what, smokeless grill. But have
you stopped like in the last ten years, fifteen years?

your version of it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Everybody got their own version of it.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I think mainly it's just finding out, like your routine, right,
so it's like probably after work or something like that,
when everything is done, when you're at the crib chilling
son's going down a few.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Puffs, let it go, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:29):

like you would be like real philosophical you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's crazy that you said that because I went and
did the hot boxing things with it would be real
where he You know, they put you on the Cadillact
and they smoke you out. They smoke out right, so
I don't smoke. But we did the interview and they
closed everything up.

Speaker 2 (11:58):

and I think I went too far. There's a there's
a place that I was cool, but I think I
went past.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Can I go out? Or am I at the house
on shrooms? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
You can go out. Yeah on a microdose, for sure.
It's cool to be out, It's cool to like function.
These just make you happy. These make you like, hey, hey,
what's up man?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That's your dad. I had some tree.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
The tree. Hey man.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I remember I had knee surgery and they gave me, uh,
some pharmaceutical.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
It was uh it began with an end.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It was too much though, yeah, and it had me all.
I was at a George Lopez concert, bro, and I
was just like hugging everybody. Yeah, it was too much though,
Yeah it was. It began with an in or something
it was. It was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I was like, man, never again, never again.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
They're different though, because I feel like that's pharmaceutical and
I feel like with the shrooms and even weed, it's
you know, it's trees.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Right right, do you smoke?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
You're fired?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Where you gotta continue to hang out with us? Man,
y'all stick around. We got more of a wizk in
the neighborhood. Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This is big boy on demand.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Big Boys neighborhood beautiful.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Then in the neighborhood, ladies and gentlemen, Yes, Cushion o
J two It is going down. We got Whiz Colley
for in the neighborhood Cushion o J two. Man, it
is here, It has a arrived bro. Why does this
one between the bodies of music? Why does this one
get that Cushion OJ title?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Because when I started working on it about a year ago,
I knew that that was pretty much going to be
the most exciting title for anybody, and like subconsciously, it
gave me something to live up to. I gave you
like a challenge, It gave me a bar to work towards,
and it helped me, you know, bring the best out
of myself, and it helped me to bring the best
(14:44):
for my fans as well and the people who expect
the best from me. So it was just something that
I knew that if I were to do anything else
and try to make some concept up or you know,
make the coolest new thing, it wouldn't compare to what,
you know, the excitement behind Cushion orses.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
But you knew going in what it was and what
you was working towards.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It wasn't like you were a few songs in and say, man,
this is a I could just call this cushion over.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You knew what you were going into.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, absolutely, Hey man, And when you say the challenge,
that's one thing I was thinking of as well, because
that's one of those where when you have something that's
that's a legacy, and then when you put something next
to it, sometimes that that can get scary.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But you said you was up for the challenge, and
you knew exactly and you put yourself to a challenge.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I put myself to the challenge, and I tapped in
with my fans, my core fan base and the people
who support me and love me the most, and I
really asked them and I put things out and see
what they reacted to and what they didn't react to,
and I used that as the guide for it as
opposed to just trying to create something out of my
imagination or trying to just take people to a level
(15:52):
and you know, potentially going over people's heads. Like I
didn't want to do that. I wanted to hit the mark.
So I really had to tap in and get in
my as well. Like when you hear me on these songs,
You're hearing the best of the best version of myself,
whether it be production or whether it be lyrically or
concept wise. I'm really bringing it to the point where
(16:14):
you can't really question the integrity of it. And that
was the most satisfying part about making the music for me,
is that I knew it was going to hit for
the people who you know I made it for.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But you know what's wild about that, Wiz, that when
you say the people I made it for, right because
we could fall it. We fell in love with chuse
you know, j you know what I'm saying, like we
fell in love with it. And then you still get
that nostalgia from two but you also get like it's
this growth that didn't you didn't get away from our og.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
But there's a growth that you hear in there too.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And you can find that entire interview right there with
Wiz Khalifah Big Boy TV our YouTube channel. As you're
watching as they say, hit that subscribe button like and
common as well, I'll see that on other people's platforms.
Make sure that you can go ahead YouTube it is
going down. Big Boy TV. Make it happen. Big Boys neighborhood.

We got whiz collegue for in the neighborhood. Do you
enjoy being famous?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I do. I enjoyed my fan Hell yeah, because I'm
not trapped by it.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Man, It's not something that like I like wish would
go away because blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It sucks to be there.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, I'm not like that, like I said, And then
people have lived my normal life and I wouldn't sacrifice
my normal life for you know, the famous part.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
It's just you know, I work hard. I grew up
in the you know.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Social media era, so putting yourself out there is a
part of what I do.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
But it doesn't make or break me. And that's not
a part of like, you.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Know what I'm saying. I think, Yeah, it doesn't. It
doesn't hold me back.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
What's the whiz colleague.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
You know how people have privilege, Like people can say
all that white privilege, but we all got privileged. Pretty
girls got privilege because they can go to a club
and they can't have a dollar in their pocket.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
They gonna get dunkard than anybody in there.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I don't think there's one woman that actually said, oh yeah, girl,
we paid for viv You know what I'm saying, what's
the wiz colleague for privilege that you know?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Are you ones wearn't eating for free?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah? For sure.
Speaker 5 (18:19):

because it'd be young dudes like with dreads that work everywhere.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah, man, that's let them up here.
Speaker 2 (18:30):

a box somewhere. I financed that'd be like, man, that's
where is man, let them through? What are you doing

So even with me, like my wife, she was like, yeah,
we'll go to a restaurant. She's like yeah, baby, it's
like a forty minute weight. Then I'll walk in and
be like, oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Well that's forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But with you, I would be like, because I would
give you my my seat, like hey, oh this is
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
They'd be having seats. It's just they you gotta motivate them.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah yeah, well at least you know that. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. And I'm gonna start using your
name too.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Just roll to sit down, just heavy pull up, just
roll the window down and roll the back.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But you know what I love about that is that
you notice it and you don't mind talking about it
because we all got a privilege.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Bro. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I mean you know, at least mine is cool, Like,
you know, people want to look out for me.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, it's a positive thing.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Like a lot of people like my music might changed
their life, or my story or whatever it is had
an impact on them. So it's not even just they
doing it for like Cloud, They're like, Yo, that's that's
my dog, Like you know what I mean? And I
would much rather have that respect and reputation because that's
for other people in my life as well. My mom
gets treated like that, my son gets treated like that.
(20:33):
You know what I'm saying. Anybody who's in my family,
they're gonna get that same treatment.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Where's you gotta continue to hang out with us? Man,
y'all stick around?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
We got more of Wiz Colley for in the Neighborhood,

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Boys Neighborhood Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Then in the Neighborhood Ladies and gentlemen, Yes, cushion OJ two,
it is going down.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We got Whiz Khaley for in the Neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Hey Man, did.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You and Snoop not like Young, Wild and Free?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
At first, I watched a clip of that and that
came off wrong because it wasn't like we didn't like
it because Bruno is a genius and oh no, hell no,
he might not have liked the song when he wrote it,
like you know what I'm saying, But we did look
at it because coming from where I was coming from
(21:22):
like a mixtape standpoint, and then Snoop being like, you know,
King of the West Coast, it was just a little
bit too poppy for either of us to consider on
our own, you know what I mean. That's a politically
correct way for me to say that we thought.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It was who turned or who said just try it?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Snoop said just tried. Wow, Yeah, it was Snoops.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I did to just try it because, like I said,
it was just a little bit too orchestrated for either
of our taste individually. So for me, it didn't sound
like a song that I would ever do, and for him,
I don't think that he thought it was a song
that he would do. But when we brought ourselves together,
he was like, man, let's just do this song.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Did it open you up for taking more so called chances?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Absolutely, one hundred percent, because that is one of the
songs that is forever and I never perform that song
forever across the world.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
No matter where I'm.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
At, and it definitely opened me up to my own potential.
I didn't even see my own potential to make those
hit records like that because I didn't see it for
myself and I didn't see myself as somebody who would
be able to embody or even represent that. But when
it came off to the fans, they loved it. And
when people see that on TV or they remember Mac
(22:34):
and Deevon go to high school, to the movie or
any of that, you know, the legacy that it's attached
to it is something that I'm really proud of. Is
not anything that I felt like I compromised or shouldn't
have done. Like, It's something I'm super duper proud of.
So that's definitely a standout moment in taking you know,
me to the next level.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Is that scary too, though?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
What wh when you have that kind of success with
something that you were like, man, this isn't us, but
it became genuine. But when you get such a hit record,
do you feel like, Okay, damn, is that a direction
I got a goal?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Or I didn't feel like that at all.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
I didn't feel like the scariness or any fear towards
leaning that way with those types of records because I've
always felt a good blend between my music and other
genres of music. Even say yeah, I had the Alice
DJ sample in it, it was a techno sample in there.
(23:29):
So I think my natural kind of thing was to
blend genres. But just at that time, I was coming
off a cushion Orange Juice. I was touring, so I
wasn't making those types of records. I wasn't even into
that type of stuff. But it's a skill of mine
to be able to, you know, still deliver what I'm
(23:51):
known for on a bigger record, on a bigger scale,
and bring my fan base along with me as well.
Like I said about my fans first, So if I
make a song and people like it, it's not because
people who don't know me like it.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
It's because the people who love me like it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And you can find that entire interview right there with
Wiz Khalifah, big Boy TV, our YouTube channels you're watching
as they say, hit that subscribe button, like and common
as well. I'll see that on other people's platforms. Make

Speaker 7 (24:50):

every day when I'm like, damn, that really happened.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Do you remember making it not like us?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:58):
I remember making a BA made them like April six,
old man, it's his birthday. I was Miko's birthday. I
was five beats today and I'm like, man, I'm at
the studio. It's like three o'clock. So usually I don't
send beast one by one. I would just make the
five and then I'll just send them all five at once.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Did you sing not like Us to anyone else?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Know?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Any of the beats I ever sent him?
Speaker 7 (25:17):
I've sent beat all the beats that I've ever sent him.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Is just so you're specifically making five beats for Kendrick Wi.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Beats, and I sent those beats. I went to Miko,
had a surprise dinner, and at twelve o'clock at night
he had like hearted like ooh, this is crazy. And
then the next day I'm back to five beats again.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You know what I'm saying.

and mentally. My son is twelve, isn't that crazy? Yeah,
I just had seen her. She's nine months.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
And it's like, have you seen a difference between and
I know your little one not even a year yet, right,
but have you seen a difference between Bash and k
Have you seen a difference like even already even in
you as a as a dad.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I think, just me as a dad, I'm in a
better space, like just as my age, my time and experience.
But I'm glad, you know, I've been able to have
Sebastian and to learn and to grow through parents and him.
And I'm still learning stuff about parents thro him. Like
you know, I learned how much time I got to
spend just actually talking to him because we do a
(01:05):
lot of stuff, and we chill and we kick it,
but sometimes we need to just talk, like with him,
just freely, like you know what I'm just saying, just
saying stuff like and just me listening. And I just
now learned that with him and with my daughter, you
know what I mean. She's nine months, so it's like
I'm just singing everything to her, so she smiles.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You're not singing baby Girl on the Way to her?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Are you? The lyrics?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The lyrics?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Oh lord? Why are you bringing up my lib.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I know the song?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Alright, that's right out the way. I don't even need
to go down. I don't need to make it to
a course or anything. I maybe Girl on the Way.
We've been working for a while.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
There. It is.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Hey, man, it's crazy because now whereas my daughter is sixteen, right,
and that's what keep me at you know, protecting myself
shooting range just in case, you know, and my son
just turned eighteen. And like how you were saying, even
with bad it's like you, this parent thing is every day,
you know what I'm saying, And no matter what tour,
what album, whatever, this is the hardest job that we
(02:24):
have in our lives. Man, is building human beings, you know,
and what they see and what they hear, and even
with not even when people say traumas, people say trauma
is like a bad word, but even some of the
things and patterns and traumas that we learned that we
didn't even know. And now that you recognize things, you're like, oh,
I can't even lay that on my kids. Yeah, you know,
(02:46):
it's a different way of parenting, definitely.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Yeah. Man, it's a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
And there's things that you never thought that you would
have to talk to your kid about that you end
up having to have conversations about. And it's like, okay,
do not what would I do in this situation? But
how do I help them now navigate through this? Because
I'm not them, like you know what I'm saying, I
didn't even go through what they're telling me that they're
going through right now, or I never even said what
(03:11):
they said what they just told me right now?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So how do I even, like, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Where's you got to continue to hang out with us?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Man?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Y'all stick around?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We got more of a Wiz Colley for in the neighborhood,
Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This is big Boy on demand.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Ladies and gentlemen back in the neighborhood, my guy, and
this smells beautiful in here.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
We got Whiz Colley for in the neighborhood. Did you
work out every morning?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I work out every day.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Hey, Whiz, I remember years ago you told us. You
was like, yeah, man, I'm gonna put on some sides.
I'm gonna take martial arts. And you know, you listen
to people when you're like, all right, you know what
I'm saying, and you haven't stopped. You know who told
us that you was gonna hold on and you was
gonna do it? Amber She was right, Hey, dude, she
said whatever. He when he says he's going to do something,
(03:52):
she was like, he do it. And are you still
You're still into martial arts now?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, it's been eight years.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Jesus Chris Fire, secure and everything walking around the streets.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, you like, hey, man, what brought you to martial arts? Though?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Man, really, I just reached the age where I felt
like I needed another discipline in my life. And music
is cool and stuff like that, but martial arts helps
me be a better person. The more that I started
to do it, the more I realized that it was
bringing the best out of me.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Just And what about the energy of people that you
connected with too?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Absolutely, I meet a lot of great people. And just
being around people who are awesome at what they do.
I think that just helps me elevate my game. And
you know, music is one thing, and being creative, being
in the studio, I love that. But in martial arts,
you just get a little bit better every day. So
I kind of just got hooked on getting just a
(04:49):
little bit better every day and it just feels really good.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And what's the discipline you study you practice?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Are you MMA or Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I mixed martial arts, but it's mainly I mainly do
stand up and striking, so it's like boxing, kickboxing, muay
Thai and taekwondo.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's why I was going to ask you about the
movie Ti.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, Muyti.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
When did you start MOVIEI Tai same.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Time everything, Like I've been doing it for eight years.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
What were your sheins like?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Because usually with Mooie ta Yeah, you know, they throw
a lot of people in there, they like five you
know what I'm saying. I couldn't imagine somebody saying a
man in my twenties thirty like a yeah, mooe tar. Yeah, yeah,
I'll be like, man, you can hit me from here up,
but don't kick nothing below.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It takes a lot of like, you know, repetition, you know,
because the bag it's definitely a hard bag, or the
pads they're not soft. But after a while, you kind
of get used to them and you learn how to
like position your body and balance and that's when you
really learn how to hit and follow through. And after
a while you don't even feel it.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Hey man, you really stayed with it?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I've been playing around with it for like at least
my son is eighteen. I've been playing around with it
for the last at least seventeen years. Yeah, yeah, man,
I'm going to advance white belt. Okay, right now, you
know you see my video, Whiz it ain't over. I'll
continue to hang out with us.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We got more with Wiz Khalif for Cushion O J two.
We're gonna speak on it Big Boys Neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Big Boys Neighborhood on Demand for more, subscribe to our
YouTube channel, big Boy TV, and check out Radio big
Boy dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Pushing Orange Juice to It is here and Wiz Khalifa
is in the neighborhood. I never heard the connection. And
maybe you heard it, you know, or you felt it
from somebody, but I never felt like, you know how
some people saying, man, I missed.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
The old Kanye.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I never really heard I missed the old Wiz. Had
you heard I did?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah? Absolutely, yep, damn that's good.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But but what how does that make you? Not make
you feel?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But but because we I think I went on a
wiz Kali for growth and I never felt a bandit
and I never felt like, man, what this do? Because
I remember one time, Man, I was on a radio
like affiliate hit and I think I was in Utah
or something. We just happened to stop by. We happen
to be in the same city and stayed at the
same time. And I remember I went to your show
(07:11):
and I was watching the show and I was like,
Wizz is a rock star.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's the first time it hit me.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And I think with that, I think you've you've had
a chance to have, you know, not different wizes. But
we just all say, man, that's where it's khalifa. Yeah
you know what I'm saying. If it's Wiz talking about
blowing trees, if it's you know, if it's Wiz, want
to take you to one of the most beautiful songs.
You know what I'm saying, it's all whiz. So that's
crazy that you say. I've heard people say I missed
(07:37):
the old.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Like I've heard people say, But I think that those
people thought that I forgot about my core just because
I branched out and am successful at other things. And
I just feel like me being in my bag is
me being in my bag. But as a fan, I
see how that can get, you know, blurry, because I'm
not making the music that there you to me making
(08:00):
on a consistent basis. And while that music I love
and it's the core, that's not what pays the bills.
So I have to be great at, you know, making
hits and worldwide music as well, in which, like you said,
when you come to the show, you can experience that
you can see the difference between the reaction of the
(08:22):
core stuff and when the hits come on.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Right.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I just did a show where I came out and
I was doing the core stuff and it was nice,
it was amazing, But as soon as the hits came on,
everybody got out of their seat.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So you can't blame me for that.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
But those are also the people who say I miss
old Whiz and things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
But I don't take offense to it.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I just feel like my music is people have a
connection with my music, so it's bigger than just the music.
It's the experience that they had to it. So they
just want those memories again. They want to feel like
that again all over again, and they want to push
me to be the best version of myself to create
that for them, not asking me to do anything that
(09:02):
I can't really do. They're like, I just want you
to get in your bag and do what I'm used
to you doing. I want you to dress how I'm
used to you dressing. I want you to wrap how
I'm used to you rapping, and I'll be good.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Hey man, how do you take that though, because you're
you're extra good with it as opposed he man, you know, you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Know I take with me.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
N I take it well because my career is based
off of my connection with my fans.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I wouldn't be here for so many years later, you know,
and you know that, Yeah, absolutely, I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for my fans. Explaining to people how
cool I am or you know the reason that they
you should listen to my mixtape or watch my video
or come to my show. My fans are the ones
who do that, and then the higher ups then they
start messing with me.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
You've been rocking with me forever because you've seen how
hard I work. But you know, if you're just a
fan of Whis Khalifa, you know me better than anybody,
you know what I'm saying. So that's that's why I understand.
And I'm cool with connecting with them and doing stuff
just for them and seeing, you know, seeing the results
from it, because I know that they're the ones who's
(10:10):
going to take me to the next levels of my career.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Where's you got to continue to hang out with us? Man,
y'all stick around. We got more of a Wiz Colley
for in the neighborhood, Big boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
This is big boy on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:21):

the smells beautiful in here.
Speaker 3 (10:25):

one point, Dog stopped for real? Yeah, man, like a
real stop, not like one of the day I'm giving
up smoke and it wasn't real. He was trying to
sell to you, you know what, smokeless grill. But have
you stopped like in the last ten years, fifteen years?

your version of it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Everybody got their own version of it.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I think mainly it's just finding out, like your routine, right,
so it's like probably after work or something like that,
when everything is done, when you're at the crib chilling
son's going down a few.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Puffs, let it go, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I feel like you would be like a talkative stoner,
like you would be like real philosophical you know what
I mean.

That's crazy that you said that because I went and
did the hot boxing things with it would be real
where he You know, they put you on the Cadillact
and they smoke you out. They smoke out right, so
I don't smoke. But we did the interview and they
closed everything up.

It was bad. Smoke box. Yeah, yeah, the smoke box
it was. It was bad. And you're talking about philosophical.
Speaker 2 (11:58):

You can go out. Yeah on a microdose, for sure.
It's cool to be out, It's cool to like function.
These just make you happy. These make you like, hey, hey,
what's up man?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That's your dad. I had some tree.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
The tree. Hey man.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I remember I had knee surgery and they gave me, uh,
some pharmaceutical.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
It was uh it began with an end.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It was too much though, yeah, and it had me all.
I was at a George Lopez concert, bro, and I
was just like hugging everybody. Yeah, it was too much though,
Yeah it was. It began with an in or something
it was. It was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I was like, man, never again, never again.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
They're different though, because I feel like that's pharmaceutical and
I feel like with the shrooms and even weed, it's
you know, it's trees.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Right right, do you smoke?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
You're fired?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Where you gotta continue to hang out with us? Man,
y'all stick around. We got more of a wizk in
the neighborhood. Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This is big boy on demand.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Big Boys neighborhood beautiful.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Then in the neighborhood, ladies and gentlemen, Yes, Cushion o
J two It is going down. We got Whiz Colley
for in the neighborhood Cushion o J two. Man, it
is here, It has a arrived bro. Why does this
one between the bodies of music? Why does this one
get that Cushion OJ title?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Because when I started working on it about a year ago,
I knew that that was pretty much going to be
the most exciting title for anybody, and like subconsciously, it
gave me something to live up to. I gave you
like a challenge, It gave me a bar to work towards,
and it helped me, you know, bring the best out
of myself, and it helped me to bring the best
(14:44):
for my fans as well and the people who expect
the best from me. So it was just something that
I knew that if I were to do anything else
and try to make some concept up or you know,
make the coolest new thing, it wouldn't compare to what,
you know, the excitement behind Cushion orses.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
But you knew going in what it was and what
you was working towards.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
It wasn't like you were a few songs in and say, man,
this is a I could just call this cushion over.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You knew what you were going into.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, absolutely, Hey man, And when you say the challenge,
that's one thing I was thinking of as well, because
that's one of those where when you have something that's
that's a legacy, and then when you put something next
to it, sometimes that that can get scary.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But you said you was up for the challenge, and
you knew exactly and you put yourself to a challenge.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I put myself to the challenge, and I tapped in
with my fans, my core fan base and the people
who support me and love me the most, and I
really asked them and I put things out and see
what they reacted to and what they didn't react to,
and I used that as the guide for it as
opposed to just trying to create something out of my
imagination or trying to just take people to a level
(15:52):
and you know, potentially going over people's heads. Like I
didn't want to do that. I wanted to hit the mark.
So I really had to tap in and get in
my as well. Like when you hear me on these songs,
You're hearing the best of the best version of myself,
whether it be production or whether it be lyrically or
concept wise. I'm really bringing it to the point where
(16:14):
you can't really question the integrity of it. And that
was the most satisfying part about making the music for me,
is that I knew it was going to hit for
the people who you know I made it for.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But you know what's wild about that, Wiz, that when
you say the people I made it for, right because
we could fall it. We fell in love with chuse
you know, j you know what I'm saying, like we
fell in love with it. And then you still get
that nostalgia from two but you also get like it's
this growth that didn't you didn't get away from our og.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
But there's a growth that you hear in there too.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And you can find that entire interview right there with
Wiz Khalifah Big Boy TV our YouTube channel. As you're
watching as they say, hit that subscribe button like and
common as well, I'll see that on other people's platforms.
Make sure that you can go ahead YouTube it is
going down. Big Boy TV. Make it happen. Big Boys neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (17:06):

the smell is beautiful in here.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
We got whiz collegue for in the neighborhood. Do you
enjoy being famous?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I do. I enjoyed my fan Hell yeah, because I'm
not trapped by it.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Man, It's not something that like I like wish would
go away because blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
It sucks to be there.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, I'm not like that, like I said, And then
people have lived my normal life and I wouldn't sacrifice
my normal life for you know, the famous part.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
It's just you know, I work hard. I grew up
in the you know.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Social media era, so putting yourself out there is a
part of what I do.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
But it doesn't make or break me. And that's not
a part of like, you.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Know what I'm saying. I think, Yeah, it doesn't. It
doesn't hold me back.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
What's the whiz colleague.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
You know how people have privilege, Like people can say
all that white privilege, but we all got privileged. Pretty
girls got privilege because they can go to a club
and they can't have a dollar in their pocket.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
They gonna get dunkard than anybody in there.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I don't think there's one woman that actually said, oh yeah, girl,
we paid for viv You know what I'm saying, what's
the wiz colleague for privilege that you know?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Are you ones wearn't eating for free?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah? For sure.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
It's probably more like like getting to the front of everywhere,
because it'd be young dudes like with dreads that work everywhere.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah, man, that's let them up here.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And I tell people, I'm like, man, I don't know everybody,
Like I don't know these people, but I know that
security guard right there.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
But that security guard know me.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Like can you go to the Laker game without a
ticket and get in?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
For sure?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
If I want to know that, I'll be up in
a box somewhere. I financed that'd be like, man, that's
where is man, let them through? What are you doing
and not overusing?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
But how and at least you recognize it?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Like the only place my wife asked me to turn
it knowing that is that Disneyland. Yeah, other than that,
she cool, we had Disney.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
People make phone calls on my behalf and then and
then they get curved and I'm like, go ahead, drop
the name and they're like, oh, yeah, well you should
have just said so before. Yeah, we got this, we
got that, we got this, we got that.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You gotta think like your world famous. You know what
I'm saying. I'm regionally famous. People know myself on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So even with me, like my wife, she was like, yeah,
we'll go to a restaurant. She's like yeah, baby, it's
like a forty minute weight. Then I'll walk in and
be like, oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Well that's forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But with you, I would be like, because I would
give you my my seat, like hey, oh this is
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
They'd be having seats. It's just they you gotta motivate them.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah yeah, well at least you know that. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. And I'm gonna start using your
name too.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Just roll to sit down, just heavy pull up, just
roll the window down and roll the back.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
But you know what I love about that is that
you notice it and you don't mind talking about it
because we all got a privilege.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Bro. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I mean you know, at least mine is cool, Like,
you know, people want to look out for me.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, it's a positive thing.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Like a lot of people like my music might changed
their life, or my story or whatever it is had
an impact on them. So it's not even just they
doing it for like Cloud, They're like, Yo, that's that's
my dog, Like you know what I mean? And I
would much rather have that respect and reputation because that's
for other people in my life as well. My mom
gets treated like that, my son gets treated like that.
(20:33):
You know what I'm saying. Anybody who's in my family,
they're gonna get that same treatment.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Where's you gotta continue to hang out with us? Man,
y'all stick around?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
We got more of Wiz Colley for in the Neighborhood,
Big Boys Neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (20:43):

YouTube channel, big Boy TV, and check out Radio Bigboy
dot com, Big.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Boys Neighborhood Beautiful.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Then in the Neighborhood Ladies and gentlemen, Yes, cushion OJ two,
it is going down.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We got Whiz Khaley for in the Neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Hey Man, did.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You and Snoop not like Young, Wild and Free?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
At first, I watched a clip of that and that
came off wrong because it wasn't like we didn't like
it because Bruno is a genius and oh no, hell no,
he might not have liked the song when he wrote it,
like you know what I'm saying, But we did look
at it because coming from where I was coming from
(21:22):
like a mixtape standpoint, and then Snoop being like, you know,
King of the West Coast, it was just a little
bit too poppy for either of us to consider on
our own, you know what I mean. That's a politically
correct way for me to say that we thought.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It was who turned or who said just try it?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Snoop said just tried. Wow, Yeah, it was Snoops.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I did to just try it because, like I said,
it was just a little bit too orchestrated for either
of our taste individually. So for me, it didn't sound
like a song that I would ever do, and for him,
I don't think that he thought it was a song
that he would do. But when we brought ourselves together,
he was like, man, let's just do this song.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Did it open you up for taking more so called chances?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Absolutely, one hundred percent, because that is one of the
songs that is forever and I never perform that song
forever across the world.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
No matter where I'm.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
At, and it definitely opened me up to my own potential.
I didn't even see my own potential to make those
hit records like that because I didn't see it for
myself and I didn't see myself as somebody who would
be able to embody or even represent that. But when
it came off to the fans, they loved it. And
when people see that on TV or they remember Mac
(22:34):
and Deevon go to high school, to the movie or
any of that, you know, the legacy that it's attached
to it is something that I'm really proud of. Is
not anything that I felt like I compromised or shouldn't
have done. Like, It's something I'm super duper proud of.
So that's definitely a standout moment in taking you know,
me to the next level.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Is that scary too, though?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
What wh when you have that kind of success with
something that you were like, man, this isn't us, but
it became genuine. But when you get such a hit record,
do you feel like, Okay, damn, is that a direction
I got a goal?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Or I didn't feel like that at all.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
I didn't feel like the scariness or any fear towards
leaning that way with those types of records because I've
always felt a good blend between my music and other
genres of music. Even say yeah, I had the Alice
DJ sample in it, it was a techno sample in there.
(23:29):
So I think my natural kind of thing was to
blend genres. But just at that time, I was coming
off a cushion Orange Juice. I was touring, so I
wasn't making those types of records. I wasn't even into
that type of stuff. But it's a skill of mine
to be able to, you know, still deliver what I'm
(23:51):
known for on a bigger record, on a bigger scale,
and bring my fan base along with me as well.
Like I said about my fans first, So if I
make a song and people like it, it's not because
people who don't know me like it.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
It's because the people who love me like it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And you can find that entire interview right there with
Wiz Khalifah, big Boy TV, our YouTube channels you're watching
as they say, hit that subscribe button, like and common

Speaker 7 (24:50):

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Do you remember making it not like us?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:58):
I remember making a BA made them like April six,
old man, it's his birthday. I was Miko's birthday. I
was five beats today and I'm like, man, I'm at
the studio. It's like three o'clock. So usually I don't
send beast one by one. I would just make the
five and then I'll just send them all five at once.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Did you sing not like Us to anyone else?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Know?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Any of the beats I ever sent him?
Speaker 7 (25:17):
I've sent beat all the beats that I've ever sent him.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Is just so you're specifically making five beats for Kendrick Wi.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Beats, and I sent those beats. I went to Miko,
had a surprise dinner, and at twelve o'clock at night
he had like hearted like ooh, this is crazy. And
then the next day I'm back to five beats again.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You know what I'm saying.
