Um, congratulations with all that. All right. Um, everybody, uh I'm talk to me right quick. I seen something online. People are saying 50 Cent is a bully. Do you think 50 Cent is a bully? Do you think 50 Cent is a bully? I don't. What I see is I think 50 low-key knows who's been dissing him. And he he probably never, you know, I mean, said anything. He let it slide, he you know I mean, he just, you know what I mean? But when the time comes and he's fed up and something arises, and he all of a sudden speaks on it or disses you or trolls you as you guys call it, I think enough is enough. And 50, if he wants to clap back and he wants to say something, obviously he's not gonna hold his tongue. So, in my opinion, I don't think he's a bully. Like me, there's some people that have done diss me low-key, took shots. I never said nothing. I never said nothing. But sometimes I do want to say something, and if I did decide to say something, that make me a bully. No, that's just saying enough is enough. I'm about to, you know, tell this person about himself and take him down. That doesn't make me a bully. So I don't think 50 Cent is a bully. Bob CEO said, nah, 50 Cent is not a bully. I agree. I don't think he's a bully. I just think that, you know, he had some low-key, low-key. Everybody has some low-key personal problems. And we don't speak about it, we don't deal with it. But sometimes enough is enough. I mean, I said it before, like my man Seed says, sometimes when the fly is like this in your face, there's a time you're gonna want to kill that fly, right? I think that's what it is. I don't think he's a bully. Do you think he's a bully? Do you think 50 Cent is a bully? Leave it in the comment box. I wanna know. Leave it in the comment box. Do you think 50 Cent is a bully? I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. Nah, he's just making heads aware who's real and who's fake. To be aware of the wolves and the sheep's Yeah? I I Vic, I agree. I agree. I totally agree. I totally agree. The right price just walked in the building with three bottles of Hennessy. What's up, my boy? You know what I mean? So, yeah, you know what I mean? I thought that was something I wanted to ask everybody. Um, J. Cole and Cab, we getting ready for that interview. Like, I want to see that interview. I want to hear that interview. Uh, the way I saw it, the way J. Cole just walked in the room while, you know what I mean, in the middle of Cam's interview or whatever he was doing. Cam hit him with the what's up? I can't wait to see it. Obviously, all that was played out, but it was great. It was great to see that, you know what I mean. Cole pulled up, they talked about it, they dealt with it, they hashed it out, and they moved on and they made both of the. I think it was great, man. And I can't wait to see the interview with J. Cole and Killer Cam. All right. So, you know what it is, is you go get ready to see that J. Cole interview with my man Cameron. And let's enjoy that interview. It's coming out, I believe, tomorrow, if it's not already out. All right. Yeah, man. Yeah. It will be viral, definitely. Nessa, how you doing? Kids are not buggy. Oh, you're on spring break. I think you're on spring break, right? He has bully tendency, but no, he can be somewhat ever an asshole sometimes, but I don't think he's bullying. He's not bullying. Let me tell you something about sometimes people give tendency of being an asshole. To certain people, they may think that, they may say that. But really, it's called boundaries. Every individual, including myself, have to set boundaries. We have to set boundaries to let people know, yo, you ain't about to do that, you can't do that, don't do that, don't mess with me, don't f with me. And when you put boundaries, there's some people that take it offensive, like, oh, he thinks he's all that. Uh, you know what I mean? He's an asshole. No. Sometimes you gotta set boundaries. Say it with me. The word is set boundaries. Everybody gotta set it sometimes. And don't take it offensive and don't call that person an asshole or nothing. That's just letting people not take advantage of other people. You know what I mean? Gotta set boundaries sometimes. And he goes after people that are in position to fight back. He goes after actual bullies. Yeah. Yeah. I I you know you might be absolutely right. Custom shoes was popping. Seven inch, right? Seven inch? Am I saying seven ink? What is it? I seven ink? I seven time ink? Custom shoes was popping. Billy Town in the building. But yeah, you know what I mean? It takes like people like 50 to turn the mirror. Yes. And everybody should be like that sometimes. Because some pop some people don't look at themselves in the mirror and take accountability of their F-boish or their wrong being doing. Sometimes you gotta tell people, yo, you need to look yourself in the mirror and face, you know, some of these ridiculous stuff you doing. Yeah, I believe it. I believe it. East West is popping. I I I Nessa, I agree. 50 always got the popcorn out with us, boy. You know what I mean? Extra butter. Like, what is he doing or what is he saying next? That that situation with Clarissa looked like he got him on ice, though. It looked like he stopped. She might have done something. She might have put that cease and desist in order. I noticed things kind of like, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh man. DJs, let's talk for a second right quick. DJs. Are you an hourly rate DJ? Promoters, do you know the difference of an hourly rate DJ and a DJ that just doesn't charge by hours? Like somebody asked me or somebody, a few times it happened to me. What's your hourly rate? Me? Me, DJ Epps. The one that's been doing it forever, that knows experience, legacy, that has a legacy, that uh that knows how to curate a room, that knows how to, that's pretty popular from what I'm hearing in the streets. I can't give you an hourly rate. Because some of us, when I say us, let's say the funkmaster flex, the kid caprice, uh the the the the DJ Coffee Black, like some of us don't go by hourly rate. And if we do, the hourly rate might be 2,000 an hour. It could be 500 an hour. You know what I mean? But you're probably expecting 50 bucks an hour. And like, there's there's DJs, there's wedding DJs, there's DJs that do hourly rates, but there's just some DJs that's just flat out that's how much he's worth. Because that's who he is. You understand me? You understand me, right? Yeah, so you know what I mean? Please understand the difference between an hourly rate DJ and that DJ. That DJ. You know what I mean? Cause yeah, some of y'all be getting it twisted. I'm gonna be honest with you. And and and some of y'all that be asking a big figure DJ his hourly rate. Like, no. Flat out, send him an offer, and he's gonna reply back and y'all meet in the middle. All right, those hourly rate DJs, you know, though those are your karaoke nights, your wedding DJs, you know what I mean? Upcoming DJs. I'm sorry to say, but it is what it is. But you know, all right? Depends on the venue, the DJ that's high or yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. DJ could be in demand. Don't ask that demand DJ his hourly rate. Respect what he's worth. Alright? Not what you think he's worth. No. No, no, no.

When you book a DJ, don't think, oh, I'm gonna give him this. Don't think that's what he's worth. Ask him, you know what I mean? What's his hourly rate? Those hourly rate DJs. And those other DJs, send him an offer. Because we know our worth. Alright? Brooklyn in the house? Richard Felix, what's up? I like that last name, Felix. There's a reason why. Uh what else? What else? What else? What else? Where we at? Where we at? Where we at? There's something else I wanted to talk about with the DJs. Um so I saw my man Tito Love and big shout to self-born, big shout to uh the DJ community. You know, I mean, I was I was I was listening to something that I heard very interesting. Um, and I'm I'm I was hearing about, you know, DJs have once upon a time lost it all. DJs, have you ever lost it all? Lost it all, but most importantly, got it back. Yeah. DJs, listen, man. And and and and and there's there's times that we go through things and we lose it all. But one thing you haven't lost is your hustle. Let me give you some gems. You might have lost it all. You might have lost your baby mama, your wife, your girlfriend, some money. You might have lost it all. But one thing you never have lost, alright, and you probably have done forgot about this, is your hustle. Gotta get your hustle on, man. Gotta get your hustle on to get where you need to go. Be who you want to be. You never ever will lose your hustle. Alright? Me, I never lost my hustle. For some reason, my hustle's like my middle name. Always hustling out there. Alright? And and if you need to remember, make sure Rick Ross hustling is your theme song on your playlist and play it. And let that hustle and hustle and hustle repeat all over your head so you can get back to that grind. You understand? So leave it in the comment box. Have you ever lost it all? Have you ever lost it all, DJs? But most importantly, have you ever won it back? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that and that's the beauty of it. That you know you got that hustle animal in you. And you go get that. You know what I mean? Ten times better than what you had it before. Let me give you a story. Have I lost it all? Have I ever lost it all? Man, God is good. Unfortunately, I have not. I haven't lost it all. God is good. Cheech was popping. I have not lost it all. Have I felt like I lost it all? Yes, I have. When was that? That was in the pandemic. In the pandemic, and I might have said this before. The pandemic was designed for you to crash out, um, go through some crazy time, but at the same time, it was designed for you to figure out how to get out of it. So, yes, when the pandemic hit, I felt like I lost it all. I felt like I lost money. I felt I I definitely lost probably 20 friends. Yeah, I definitely got rid of 20 friends, close friends, over 20 years friends. Got rid of them, lost them. You know what I mean? I lost my wife at the pandemic. I lost, almost probably lost my family. Like I felt like I was losing it all, felt. But my hustle mentality, I didn't lose that, and I got back to my Grind and there was certain things and people that helped me got my mind back together to make sure I didn't crash out, lose focus, get distracted. You know what I mean? To lose it all. So, you know, when the pandemic hit, you know, I got my stuff together. And and and and and and I made sure I had a clear mind. And certain phone calls, certain people, certain things happened to me that I never thought it would happen to me. And it it it it it it it's 10 times better than where I was probably like two months, I mean uh two years, you know, before that. You know what I mean? So everybody, if you ever lost it, all you lost it all. Your family, your wife, your girlfriend, money, whatever, you lost it all. Please, I promise you, you did not lose your hustle. Just get back on your hustle, get back on that bike, and just go get it. Get it back ten times better. That's it. Right, McCleasy? Shout to McCleasy in the building. Grandma was popping. The warning back makes them hungrier. Yep. Success that follows the twice the blessing. Very well said. Thank you, Nessa. Yes, yes. Eddie Bronx in the building was popping. Everybody in Phoenix, Arizona was good. A lot of us did during COVID. Yes, yes, a lot did, but a lot uh, you know, did not know how to get it back, probably still in the same very position they are in, you know, that they were in before the COVID. Yeah, real talk. They they they didn't know how to change their lives. That COVID was designed for you to learn how to change your mindset, the way you think, the way you live. You know what I mean? I I wasn't uh an alcoholic or nothing like that. I I used to like to smoke weed. I would roll my blunt since 16 years old. But that pandemic was like that COVID shit, that shit said, yo, show it all that. Cold turkey, stop smoking, stop drinking. Got rid of it. And guess what? I'm moving around more better and faster than I am. I'm exercising. Like, I mean, that you know, that that that's gotta do that. Ron Jesus popping. Yeah, man, four years of residency and you lost it all to COVID. Yeah, times, you know, could do that to you, man. Things like that could do that to you, make you change, figure it out, you know what I mean? And maybe honestly, it was a rap for that club. It was a rap for that scenery, it was a rap for, you know, the same old things that was happening those four years. You know what I mean? It's time for a change. Sometime the big man upstairs will send you a signal to let you know that, you know, you gotta switch it up. It is what it is. It is what it is. All right.
