Media Influence Matters 00:05:40
My name is Gary the Numbers Guy.
This is the 305 because, quite frankly, we're better than 304s.
These are my tag team partners.
Your boy Fresh, Dom Looker.
And everyone knows who this man is in the building.
Oh, damn.
I forgot.
Come back.
Hold on.
We need to fix the situation.
That's not it.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm going to put that right there for you guys because you guys call me the fucking Jew, right?
So I'll be that fucking Jew.
We all good.
So hold on, hold on.
We're almost ready.
I know you guys love to hate me.
So we're going to slip this on because this is a Rox found in the snake year and we still do snake things.
Ack, which one should I go with?
The Super Bowl ring?
Oh, shit.
Okay.
The Super Bowl ring.
We can go with one, okay?
The NBA championship ring or shit.
Or, or, or how about this one?
Woo!
I gotta go with this one.
That's Billy.
That's the MLB joy?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Hey, hey, I'm going with him.
Because let me tell you something.
This means shit to me, but it means this would be like changing money to you fucking incels out there.
So this is my way of saying fuck you.
Anyways, let's get the show started.
Fresh, what we talking about today.
So listen, man, let's go on.
Who's this man's house?
Yo, y'all identify yourself in the chat.
Yo.
Listen, bro, that's quite a flex.
But yo, Ak, you've been going viral, my boy.
You've been going viral with everything.
Bran Ris and LeBiva.
I'm not going to lie, bro.
When people come at Ak, I'm like, yo, what are you doing, my nigga?
Don't play with me.
I'm going to smoke you.
He's the media and he's the instigator.
It's not a smart idea.
I've been doing this for 15 years.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Like, I think this time around, or maybe it's because I'm not home.
I'm in Miami now.
And really, I've been stuck here because there's a snowstorm in the Northeast.
Maybe I'm a little bit numb to it.
Like, it's everyone telling me that I'm viral.
I'm like, this feels like another day.
And I'm not saying this on some ego testing.
I'm still telling you the man.
Yeah.
So, like, you know, like my friend over there, she's like, hey, you're all over my TikTok feed.
And I'm like, why?
I don't get it.
Because the same amount of like attention in terms of comments or people, it's kind of the same.
So I don't know, whatever that means.
But, you know, I'm kind of built for it.
You know, I take the good with the bad.
You know, I've seen certain, I did get a couple of texts.
It was like, hey, you okay?
And that's when I know people are, people that don't tap in, they're seeing something and they're checking up.
But I'm like, I'm always good.
Like, you know, I'm built for this life.
I chose it.
So, so listen, I have people texting me today.
Yeah.
And I'm tweeting me, yo, bring Akon, talk about Lil Baby.
So listen, I've known you for how many, four years now, five years now?
Yeah.
And all Ak's enemies, either they bow down or get gone.
Now, I don't mean disappear.
I just mean they start trolling him.
So listen, I don't do nothing illegal.
I like to be free.
I want to enjoy all these tens of millions that I've earned.
And, you know, I just think I got a good track record of, you know, I always tell people this.
And I'm going to just say this like legitimately.
I learned very early on, first of all, let's talk about power.
One of the biggest source of power is influence.
If you could influence what somebody thinks, that's real power.
Power, you know, there's many different forms of it.
A huge part of influence, right?
Because I said that's one of the major parts of power is the media.
I always tell everybody, you know, Cardi B's my friend.
I tell Cardi B because she used to be going back and forth with the shade room.
I said, don't beef with the media.
The media's job, and I know people think because of social media, they don't need to care about the media.
But do you really want to go against somebody like academics who 365, 24-7 is going to be able to have a microphone, a blog or something to shape a narrative about you?
And keep in mind, we all know this.
And especially if you guys have been doing this for a while, which I know you guys have, if something happens, the perspective on what happened or why it happened is how people think about the event.
You really want to beef with that guy?
I think it's always a stupid decision, but a bunch of people have tried it.
It's just never turned out well.
And one thing about me, I'm good with playing the loan game.
And I've learned that over 15 years.
So Dom Litter is you on X.
And this is a question for the chat as well, because they might learn from this as well.
So when it comes to beef online, I can, and I would say, Dom, how should somebody approach it as a creator?
Because I feel like most people nowadays are like, I feel you, but like, they want to grow.
They want to expand their brand.
Is beef really that important to grow, you think, or no?
It depends on the star for the most part.
It depends on the star and how much they're loved in the industry.
So if it's someone that was really well known, let's, I don't know, if those are some like Will Smith or something, if you get them to respond, if you're an absolute nobody, it can help, but it just depends on where you're trying to get in the long run.
Because he can make phone calls and block a lot of doors.
I know Charleston White, you know, had a problem with T.I. and he confirmed on camera, I think T.I. blocked a couple of them doors.
So it just really depends on who the star is.
But it's always an extra boost in front of people, bro.
You're always going to get in front of the people, depending on if you're beefing with a big star.
You start punching up too high up, you're going to get some doors shut.
That's simple.
Like Nicki Minaj, shutting doors.
Well, I've always approached conflict when it comes to the social media space as evaluate where you're at, what's your stock, how you collaborate that stock, how much you matter, and what ammo you have versus what ammo they have.
This is not, you know, if you're the emotional type.
I'm playing chess out here, man.
You got to.
Yeah, I'm playing chess out here.
I love beef with the emotional types.
And usually, you know, my playground is rappers, but I usually 5-0 them.
You know why?
Because they're emotional.
A lot of them are low IQ.
Why Fight Rappers? 00:15:31
I'm sad to say.
And a lot of them play the game of I'm thinking about the next seven days because after that, they're on to something else.
You know, sometimes, you know, I've sat back and let someone get off a headline and I've planned for 18 months later.
And 18 months later, they're now paying me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
They're now coming to me one way or another.
And, you know, I don't want to call it bowing down, but I say it's just meeting of the minds.
But, you know, again, for me, everything is strategic.
You get what I'm saying?
So, like, even this little baby situation was heavy strategy from the get-go.
And I think if you guys ever want to wonder about the minor academics, just watch the next 18 months.
Okay, look, look, the question that everyone wants to know right now.
Yeah.
Are you going to fight him?
When is it going to be?
And is he really serious about fighting you?
I'm down to fight a little baby today, but little baby don't want to fight.
Little baby don't want to fight.
Yeah, no, no, no.
The payment's going to happen.
And by the way, you know, I even told him I said, listen, I'll agree in principle to certain stuff.
Like, yo, whatever you pay him, I get it.
He's, you know, definitely a higher profile person than me, but I'll take half.
And so if you pay him 10 million, I'll take five.
And really, like, I would probably be a little bit more, you know, intimate with the negotiations, but I know he won't agree to that.
So we're at the stage of two men trying to act like they're not pussy.
Now, the thing is, I'm down to get in the ring because there's no loss for me.
Even if I get knocked out, there's a loss for him.
He won't ever get in the ring with me.
So in reality, that's what I'm saying.
I'm going to show you the first rule of dealing with a rapper.
They live and die on their reputation.
So now he fucked up by saying, I'm down to fight academics.
All right, well, I accept all terms.
All terms.
Check me.
All terms.
So now he has to find a way how to back out of this because he doesn't want to do it.
Right?
He doesn't want to do it.
Remember, he has, I think he has a 30% chance of winning and looking good, which is he gets in the ring with me, he knocks me the fuck out, and they're like, yo, you ended this guy.
And even then, he didn't end me because nobody expects me to win.
Yeah.
The 70% that he's risking, if I knock him out, I'm the king of Atlanta.
Because I really want to, I'm going to tell Aiden this I want to do the fight.
Like, I want to do, we could do it here because I want people to say I'm throwing new things in it.
But I'm so down for whatever Lil Baby want to do.
We could build a ring in Atlanta in the hood and we could fight there.
But if I knock him out, I'm the king of Atlanta.
That's crazy.
But here's the thing.
The thing with most gangsters is that, like, you know, with the introduction of guns and now that you got money that you could control, like 15 dudes or 500 dudes that don't make like these guys are broke.
They're living on government assistance.
You get to rap like your Pablo Escobar like you're the toughest guy.
But if you were, if you didn't have 50 dudes with you, you're talking like that.
Yeah.
Right.
So like the best way, and I tell everybody, when a rapper starts talking crazy to you, challenge him to a fight.
I've seen it work with the best of them.
Rest in peace, Nipsey Hustle.
He was talking crazy to a guy who did the weather.
And you know how people think, oh, you're square.
You do the weather.
You have a corporate job.
I'm a gangster.
The guy said, yo, we could do MMA.
The guy actually was practicing MMA for a while.
Nipsey stopped talking about fighting.
We haven't seen these gangsters use these.
Actually, we don't even see them use this.
They use this and pay other people to try to get their shit done.
Lil Dirk, they could have lip boxing.
So here's the thing.
We in an era now where money is accessible to everybody.
It's only who's dumb enough to actually go pay somebody to go from the crimes, right?
That's it.
So, like, so when you, when people are saying, oh, you're talking to Lil Baby, I'm like, if you really do a real poll in a physical combat that a scrawny drug addict, right, who basically can't say his ABCs, he's dyslexic, you know what I mean?
He's half schizophrenic, missing a couple chromosomes.
He's definitely retarded.
That he could get in a physical combat with me.
And no matter what they think about me, I'm not saying I'm a professional boxer or nothing.
If we were locked in a room and only one man could walk out alive, who do you think will walk out of the game?
You're Jamaican, bro.
You got an Islam Podo?
Hold on.
Those crackheads got squabbles.
The crackheads got squabbles.
I've seen that.
All right, well, if we factor that, you're right.
If we factor that in, maybe if he goes in there off like 15 perk 50s and you know, like now I'm choking him half to death and like, you know, his corner gets to put like, you know, a fucking perk on his lip.
And he's like, maybe, I don't know.
I don't know.
But all I'm saying is that the kryptonite of these rappers, and somebody has said, Act, you only talk tough to these rappers because nobody sees you.
Nah, I'm out in the mouth.
You're out.
Here's the thing.
I talk tough to these guys because I don't think if they didn't have their crew, they could back it up.
And if Lil Baby shows me otherwise to say, this is why you nerd ass in-the-house ass niggas shouldn't talk tough to the king of Atlanta who be stepping on shit.
Maybe I'll change my tune.
But until then, I think Lil Baby is straight up pussy.
You've been in the game for 10 years, right?
Respected.
Everyone knows you.
You're still relevant today.
15k viewers on YouTube.
You can see why.
Yeah.
This guy just brought it.
Like, no wonder guest leader had another 3K on Rumble.
Another what?
5K on Twitch?
Yeah, yeah, we kind of have it.
So I'm multi-stream at this point, usually about like 16K cumulatively.
Yeah.
For someone watching right now that wants to be a creator, you think, is it too late now to get into the game?
How could it start getting into like content?
You think, man, I feel like I'm a grandfather of a lot of the content stuff for like the newer people who want to get in the game.
And you both.
I feel like I've been at an impasse.
I feel like I've been at an impasse that you see these days.
I was giving some advice to a creator.
And the creator was like, he ran up to me.
It's like, yo, act how you could do it.
And I usually have an answer.
But these days, the game is so for me to tell somebody how to get in the game.
I got to tell them, yo, you might have to bot your views.
Yo.
You might have to get some clippers.
You got to do some fake shit.
Like, it's not.
It's a good thing.
I'm fucking rich and I don't fucking have to do that.
Like, you fucking fake ass frauds.
Neon.
Oh, cool.
Wait, you mean with Neon?
I'm just telling you, man.
He pops.
Wait, has Neon been on here?
No, not here.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
I mean, he boxes.
Listen, I'm not scared to say who bots because you know what?
I don't buy.
But you know what?
I'll keep it real.
I get fucking at least 30 fucking million views on my IG.
Got at least eight fucking million my fucking YouTube.
Oh, shit.
So again, I'm not like you, brother.
You got you.
You a man when it comes to this.
But I fucking own TikTok.
There you go.
I got fucking 12 billion fucking views.
And guess who the fuck?
It's going with the fucking TikTok headquarters.
We taking that shit over now.
Let's go.
That shit's mine now.
The black.
Enough gangs.
The blacks and the guns.
I like it.
The blacks and the guns.
Okay, let me let me ask you something because I want to ask you some real.
He's been in the game since 2023.
You've been in it since 2020.
I've been in since 2023.
My man, you've been in here for 10, 15 years.
How the fuck have you stayed relevant for that long?
That's what the fucking people want to know.
How have you stayed relevant that long?
The answer might not suit most people who are down to get in this.
I've stayed relevant by not treating this as a job.
This is my life.
So when you see me move around, this is a reason why, whether I'm on your podcast, I'm at my stream, I'm somewhere else.
I'm going to give it up the same way.
I'm not like some people are performative.
Again, you know, I've seen people, even with the little baby thing, right?
So the genesis of that is that me and him, we had a conversation as men.
We had issues before we thought we were cool with it.
Then there's a dude who like, the store runner gets his condoms and everything, sees me in the club.
I didn't know who he was.
The dude sees me, steps to me about an issue with Lil Baby.
I said, nah, I talked to the guy already.
Like, me and the guy is cool.
I don't know who you are, but you must be out of the loop.
Anyway, conversations become cyclical because we're after a club.
We're at a club.
And French was there at a club with us earlier too.
My guy goes to pull off.
He realized that we're not respecting this conversation.
We say the same thing.
He swings into the car.
You know, I talk to the guy the next day.
The guy says, yo, listen, yo, that's not nothing that's because of me.
Like, that dude just crashed out.
He just probably didn't know that me and you are cool.
We have a truce.
Now, the thing is, and this is what I like about hip-hop is that they pick and choose when they want to acknowledge man shit.
So some people think I'm wrong, but these are the same people will hop online and say, well, act, you gossip.
That's woman shit.
You do this.
That's police shit.
Blah, blah.
But these guys, they're men because they handle shit in the streets.
They stand on business.
You know, in hip-hop, they consider when these street dudes, like, they're of some integrity and they stand on some type of, you know, morals.
So let me ask you what man shit is, right?
So if me and you have issue, right?
Donald, if me and you have issues, right?
And we get on the phone and you said, we're good, right?
And then I come to this podcast and there's a guy who's a cameraman for you.
Your cameraman attacks me, right?
I hit you up and I said, your cameraman attacked me about an issue with you.
I thought we're cool.
Yeah, for sure.
Right?
Or even if it was a fail attack, but you know, online, they said, I got hit, whatever.
Cool.
Hold on.
I don't even want to get into that because, you know, I don't want to get into the mistake.
Yeah, yeah, because they won't believe me anyway.
But it's about man shit.
Nobody wants to talk about the real shit about this because the guy you like, either he's a fucking snake and a bitch ass nigga, or he's literally the definition of being untrustworthy, right?
Okay.
So, so if me and you have that conversation, correct?
Yeah.
Me and you have that conversation.
And after we have that conversation, your cameraman swings on me.
I hit you up and I said, bro, did you do that?
And you say, bro, that had nothing to do with me.
You know, me and you, we had a conversation as men.
We shook hands.
We looked at each other in the eye.
I'm a man.
I would never do anything that's not like a man, right?
Okay, cool.
I say, you know what?
I'm going to believe that.
I let everything go.
Remember, a year later passes and your camera guy gets online like, yeah, that's why when we've seen academics, we attack this bitch ass.
But I never said nothing about it.
How do you treat that situation?
Do you treat that situation saying, nah, even though I had a conversation with Dom, I'm like, you know, I'm just going to get mad at the camera.
Or you're saying, either Dom is with this behavior or he never checked the behavior.
Either or he's a bitch ass nigga.
That's simply it.
Either he agrees with it or he didn't check it.
And if you can't check your man's to say, hey, listen, yo, you know, me and him had to get to another understanding after you try to do something that I didn't sanction.
He didn't try to do it because I'm in there with his girl.
He tried to do it on the strength of Lil Baby.
So I said, if you didn't check your man's, or maybe silently you approve of it, regardless, I don't care which one it is.
You're the bitch.
So when people say, yo, why are you going back up with him on it?
I'm talking man shit.
All of the street dudes, you know, they don't like me.
They have changed the conversation.
This ain't my man shit no more.
They're like, yo, man, why are we talking about integrity now?
Like, yo, why you ain't killed the guy?
Nobody expects me to kill nobody.
I'm academics.
But you don't expect me now to.
I'm telling you, his label paid me 30 bands to give him some grace and promo an album.
And his CEO that sold his company for $300 million, who I'm friends with, called me two months before me and him got on the phone and said, let me ask you a personal favor.
Could you at least not say anything bad about the album since it hasn't come out?
We want a clean runway.
They wanted the first week numbers.
I fell back.
But here's the thing.
Nobody wants, again, you know, like they're trying to make a thing like, oh, did you get hit?
Did you not?
Nigga, I'm academics.
Who cares if I got hit?
It's not going to, I said, I'm a touchable or I'm the biggest gangster.
The point, what I'm trying to say is that Lil Baby is a flat out bitch, right?
And now I'm here on this podcast on the internet in the middle of the street calling him out.
And then now that we figure out that since you keep ducking and dodging and hiding behind other men, he's not like he did nothing.
I'm calling you out.
Let me and you go handle our issues, not on the phone this time, because you needed to get your album sold.
Let's handle our issues like men in a ring.
After that time, we could just go our separate ways.
We're both going to get paid.
He says he agreed in principle.
My job is to make sure he doesn't back out.
If he wants to fight in Poland, I'll go.
He wants to fight on Elon Musk, I'll do it.
He wants to fight 10,000 feet on the water, I'll go there.
If he wants me to drop 50 pounds, I will.
Me and Lil Baby got to get in that ring and see each other as men.
But the thing is, what people don't want to accept about their favorite gangster rapper is that they only, they're good at their chat GPT for rhymes.
They're not like that personally.
They got money, they feel violence, but they're not violent.
So we want to see Lil Baby get violent.
I have said publicly, fuck him, fuck whatever he got going on, his family, whatever to make him get violent with me personally.
For people, after all that fucking talk, I got 50 racks on you, bro.
Yo, baby, I got 50, little 50 racks here, bro.
Little 50 racks.
Make it happen.
All that shit he was talking.
Come on, get your money, bro.
He ain't finna fight.
And my thing is that he's doing the posturing now.
I'm better at the posturing.
You know why?
Every bluff you try to do, I'm going to meet.
You know what he's going to say next?
I could tell.
He's going to say, oh, Aiden couldn't come up with enough money.
I'm going to make it.
Nigga, I will pay the nigga to fight.
He can't back out of this.
Or I want him to back out with the world watching where he says, I just don't want to fight academics.
And if he says that, the world will know that the rapper they are supporting is complete 100% USDA bitch.
You know damn well I can't say that.
He can't say he's not acting.
So look, bro, he'll hear a dope you, but he's not going to say he's scared.
Anton Daniels, Corey Holcomb, had an argument a couple days ago, right?
Yeah.
Anton's a nerd.
Corey's the thug from LA, so to speak, comedian.
In that debacle, you saw the actual end result.
Yeah.
Anton came on top.
He's a nerd.
He didn't back down.
Of course, he didn't say again, you're just sucking Nick, but he said, Listen, let's fight outside.
Like fucking men.
In that scenario, who do you think has leverage?
Because I think at that point, the nerd won because just by default, he didn't back down.
What do you think?
Corey Holcomb's Dilemma 00:12:41
I mean, I agree, but this is why the dudes that street dudes got to start, they need a better plan for the internet.
The thing is about being tough is at some point, someone will call your bluff, or some or the people who you're trying to portray to as being tough online want to see it.
Yeah.
No one expect.
Listen, put me in any fight.
The reason why I tell people I'll only fight a rapper.
Y'all got no expectations.
I'll fight a rapper before I fight Neon.
You know why?
Not that I think Neon could beat me.
Man, it don't matter the outcome of the rapper.
I already won once I got in the ring.
As soon as I step in the ring, the dust is already secure.
He smashed the perception.
He smashed the perception.
He's better to be the underdog.
But these guys act like they don't, they don't.
The reality of why they won't get into it is that you know if you lose, you're fucked up.
And I think this is what Corey Holcomb is dealing with.
But Corey Holcomb is dealing with it less than what a rapper would deal with it.
Corey Holcomb, he's a funny guy.
He's just a tough, funny guy.
Yeah.
But that wasn't a positive look for him.
It wasn't a positive look.
And Anton Daniels knew that walking in that building.
Anton Daniels was smart.
He came with a security.
He knows ain't nothing going to go too crazy.
And that dude tried to intimidate him because that's the only thing.
The thing is, ever since the internet got created, street niggas never evolved.
The sidewalk niggas, the nerd niggas, people like me, we have 50, like I got 50 different skills and 50 different things to deal with if we get to certain places.
With them, it's only intimidate.
And emotions.
And they're supposed to, at some point, you know what the nerds realize?
You could force the hand that they got to prove it.
And once they got to prove it, you get to realize they never thought that step.
No.
And also, you can shape the narrative from outside to inside.
So it's powerful.
If Corey Holcomb beat him up, no, okay, all right.
You're supposed to do that.
He slapped the fuck or even beat up Corey Holcomb.
It's over.
Yeah.
How important is PR for a creator?
Dom, you do PR all the time.
Yeah, for sure.
You know, your companies grow.
You know, you post content.
How important is PR?
I think so.
And I like something he mentioned.
It's more important for the old guard, for like older, like the rappers from the past or either street niggas, it would be more important for them.
Not really more so with creators.
I mean, even like Clav, look at the shit he can do on camera and still elevate.
No cancellations, but constantly elevate.
We're in a new era.
The people of the old system, their perception is that they have to be perfect or mysterious.
They have to be the toughest person in the room.
You ain't got to be tough to be a streamer.
You just got to be entertaining.
You had to be more than be a rapper.
You know, to be a rapper, you had to be more than just a rapper.
You had to have the illusion that you were what you rap.
A streamer can be anything for a day.
They even, you know, create fake skits of them getting cheated on, embarrassing, and just to get in views.
It doesn't destroy their career because the kids now accept that they're just trying to get seen.
The whole perception has changed.
But when they see people like go in front of Neon, and I think 6ix9ine set it off, it really started 6ix90 ahead of his time because a lot of kids you see are now imitating that.
They have no respect for the streets, no respect for anything that was traditional, bro.
So I would say for Hollywood celebrities, PR still is important.
They have no respect for themselves.
They're out here willing to embarrass themselves for views because they have no talent, no charisma, no life skills.
So they got to go to the bottom of the barrel to get views.
But you know what the interesting part is?
When you go to the low-hanging fruit, you can't make any money.
Psych.
Dumb asses.
They can't, but they get seen more, though.
So I do agree.
Advertisers have a harder time, you know, getting their money back, their proceeds back from streamers, but they're seen more than rappers.
They're seen a whole lot more than rappers, or at least from the youth.
They have access to the youth.
And I can even see now that more kids, at least in my opinion, and you've been a hip-hop for a while, more kids are now saying they want to be streamers.
My whole time in America, bro, everyone has always said they wanted to be a rapper growing up.
And now I'm seeing young niggas say, I want to be Kai.
I want to be speed.
It was always a rapper, bro.
It was always Lil Wayne.
It was always Drake.
It was never anything in between.
I actually have a slight disagreement with what you're saying.
PR does matter.
It's just that it doesn't matter for under a certain level.
When you get to Kai Snat level, PR matters.
Let me tell you this.
Aiden's my man, but the reason why Sneeko and Myron ain't getting a brand risk is PR.
Kai Snat is in Paris, like doing whatever.
They're controlling that PR, right?
PR matters when you're aligning with those brands.
The thing is that you could be a creator and be making millions of dollars without getting to that level.
If you want to get to the level of Kai Sinat, you want to be at the level of these guys that someone could possibly think, man, should I put him in a Super Bowl lad?
PR does matter.
The thing is, there's so many more levels.
Like there's a YouTube, there's a clipper I know right now making a million dollars a year.
No one knows how he looks.
He got a Lambo.
Yeah.
He's just posting other people's stuff.
He don't care about PR.
He might put out something fake.
He don't got to apologize.
He doesn't care.
But at the upper echelon, like when Kai Snat is like a movie star, Kai Snat right now, he's going through a PR crisis, if you ask me.
Kai Snat, for the very first time, I think people are looking at him like, yo, we were looking at you like a danza in distress, even with him tweeting out, I'm single.
And then they quietly seeded out the story, like, oh, I got cheated on.
It's supposed to make him a victim.
Now they're realizing that story cap.
So now, you plan to play into the story.
That's that fake shit.
That's a PR crisis.
Because again, at the upper echelon, you got to remain true to your audience, but clean enough for brands.
Like, at my level, like, I ain't going to lie to you.
I'd be surprised if Nike was on the phone for me.
So I'm like, I'm just dugging.
I'm dugging.
Like, it's whatever.
But for him, he got to make sure they're doing a lot of PR shit to keep him sanitized.
Also, we got to thank the guy Backdoor Ty.
He's the one that set up Kai once again.
Yo, what's wrong with this nigga, bro?
Just everybody.
You, Kai, is he really a good person?
Yeah, unfortunately, when you have success, it breeds a lot of leeches and it breeds a lot of bad personalities.
Unfortunately, I think Kai Snat has a very pure heart, but then you get people around him and these people are incentivized by money.
And I've been there, not to Kai's level, but I've been there where people have infiltrated my circle and they're motivated by the wrong things and they have the wrong intentions for me.
But I might see one trait in them.
Like, you know, I think backdoor Ty, and we're talking about Tyler, you know who I think he is?
He's the guy that you think is your friend and has your best interest.
Because if you go somewhere and someone potentially disrespects you, he's the first to jump to action.
He's confrontational.
He'll be loud.
He'll be going crazy.
So you think this guy is great for you until you realize that some of his actions doesn't help you.
And I think Ty's been learning about that.
Ty called me after the whole debacle.
And, you know, I'm not putting words in his mouth, but I noticed his demeanor.
His demeanor was like, this is not the first time he did it.
And I don't know if you've ever had to make repeated calls for maybe somebody who might be a friend or an associate.
And those calls, you're like, yeah, I know he did that.
But There's a little bit of tiredness in that voice, like, like, and that's what I heard.
Like, because he was trying to say, nah, nah, I talked to him.
He said he didn't do it.
And I'm like, I said, come on, come on, Kai.
Look at the facts.
And I presented it one by one.
He's like, oh man, that's tough, man.
And I knew right then, I'm like, we don't, again, that's your problem.
That's not mine.
You see, we all get to a point in our life where there's somebody that everybody keeps telling us about.
Yo, this person's this, this person's this, but they haven't done it to you yet.
So you're there.
You're like, yo, nah, it's my guy.
What are you talking about?
But you've heard it enough.
It's up to you when you want to cut that person off.
I've been the person where I allow that person to linger so long, they start fucking shit up for me.
Damn, man.
I was just talking about it before the show, how I cut someone off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, because listen, sometimes people get comfortable and they think your success is their success too.
You're the one to pull this off and they're trying to tell in your coattails and then they get big egos.
You know, it is what it is.
And sometimes these people need to be fucking cut off.
And that's exactly what the fuck I've done, you've done, he's done, and he's done.
And let me tell you this: I've been in the position, though, and I've always told people, you know, I feel like I'm very like clairvoyant in the sense of even acknowledging some of my ongoing faults.
I've been the person historically, if you ask me about any past saga, I've been too forgiving.
I've been the person that says, yo, you still had this motherfucker around you?
And I'm gonna be like, yeah, I did.
I got some names, but I don't want to drop them.
Yeah.
Well, you see, like, I've been the person that'd be like, yo, I know you cut that person off after that shit.
And I'm like, not in.
Damn.
It is what it is.
You know, like, sometimes.
But you're very loyal.
Yeah.
Super loyal.
Yeah.
Loyalty.
Loyalty is such an admirable attribute, but it becomes, it hurts you after a while.
It does.
Yeah.
Well said.
Give us a situation where someone tested your loyalty.
Someone who was leeching off you, but they've been loyal to you.
But you know they're leeching and they're fucking hurting you.
Yeah, I mean, that kind of comes with like everybody who I started with.
So no, no, when I started, I started with friends.
And like, you know, my name is DJ Academics, but like back in college, I had this thing called Team Academics.
It was everybody that was supposed to be a part of it.
Not everybody was down to putting the work.
Not everybody was down to, you know, care about the brand.
There was a time when there's people who like I know I had to put in work, but they already were so cool with where we were at.
They're like, yo, it's time to go get girls.
It's time to turn up.
So I made the sacrifice.
And the more I went on, I realized these people aren't aligned with my vision.
You know what I mean?
But also, I kept bringing them up.
I couldn't let them go because I said they started with me.
The hardest thing, at least for a loyal nigga, is like, we started this.
For me to, I didn't want to be the person that says, oh, yo, he left me behind.
But if you're not aligned mentally, you realize people are down to risk what you're building and you're putting 10 times the amount of effort in.
This is your passion.
That's not, they're enjoying the benefits of it, but not, that's not their passion.
At some point, you're going to get slapped in the face enough.
And what I mean by that is like, you're going to get enough, like, oh, this isn't done right, or look at how you are disappointed here that you're going to eventually realize you're going to allow this ship to burn or crash and burn, or you're going to have to start firing people or getting away from people.
It was hard for me because I wanted everybody who I started with, I finished with.
And you have survivors' remorse.
I just talked to ASAP Rocky and I asked him about ASAP Relly.
And Relly is a guy who snitched on him, who said, Yo, Rocky shot me.
And I said, How did that relationship get there?
He said, I had survivor's guilt.
I made it, but I wasn't the lead.
I was never supposed to be the lead guy for ASAP.
And the other guys, I felt I had to bring them up, but they were always like unhappy about certain stuff.
And I allowed them to be so close to that a certain point, it gets me in a situation where I was facing 24 years.
What?
He got it.
Yeah, yeah, he trouble.
His friend told him, if you don't pay me $80,000, I'm going to have the police charge you with you quote-unquote shooting me.
And he got shot and he got charged, went to a whole trial.
He did beat it because they had a recorded video of his own friend saying, if he don't give me this money, his ass is going to prison.
And he realized in that moment, he should have cut that guy off a long time ago.
That guy gave him 55 signs that he was no good and he never cut him off.
Wow.
So at that point, the guy got to take some accountability himself.
Yes, he did.
But some people, they're loyal.
You wait till it's too late.
So how, okay, question for you.
How could one of those people that you cut off change the perspective, you think?
Loyal But Liable 00:02:29
Or they can't.
It's too far gone.
I don't know.
Let me tell this.
I'm one of those people who I think is too loyal.
I'm still learning about this myself.
Like, it really hurts my heart to cut off somebody.
Like, if I meet you day one, I want to grow with you.
And I know you're going to make mistakes, but I make mistakes too.
But I do have a mission.
And I'm not one of them people who are interchangeable.
Like, you'll never see me with, like, oh, every time I see Yak, you just see new people.
Now, let's build together, but we all got to be building.
Yo, bro, these are all you two motherfuckers I hang out with in this goddamn city.
Nothing but a bunch of fucking scammers, a bunch of fucking clout chasers.
They have the loyalty of a back alley whore.
Yeah, yeah.
How's the loyalty to Miami?
Bro, bro, bro.
Dude, dude, dude.
This, dude.
And Myron.
That's it.
No one else.
This?
That's the only black man I got my money, man.
Give me that shit back.
Yo, that ruins confusing people's lives.
Hey, yo, playing this.
Dude, this backdoor tie was in here.
He'll be gone.
I got something else for that.
But I got something else in here for that.
Miami is the most beautiful, fun, exciting city in America.
But with that comes a price.
And if you notice, you've been here for 10 years, 12 years plus, you see a trend.
People come and go in Miami.
They're hot one minute, then they're not.
Crypto's up, it's down.
Who's popping?
They get all the love, but it always fades away.
The ones that have been here for so long that have been a staple in Miami, Dave Grumman, for example.
He's been here for years.
Runs Miami.
King of Miami.
People like that, bro.
King of Vegas, too.
You cannot question why they're still here.
People that fade away, why they fade away.
Most of them are fake.
I'm taking shots at, man.
No, I'll drop names.
Don't worry.
Keep up.
Who's the most disloyal nigga y'all know, man?
Like this royalty.
Like, when you see him, like, it's like backdoor tie.
You're like, this guy.
As soon as I see what it's like.
I got you.
Bills, let's go to the 305 podcast.
We're going to cut Fresh and Fit.
Fresh and Fit.
We're going to cut you guys off, man.
We're going to some detail here, but some people, let's go to the 305 podcast on Rumble.
It's there.
Link should be in the chat as well.
So we'll cut off Rumble now on Pressure and Fit and go to.
And by the way, shout out to your guys who gave you that $100.
BBW for life.
And we'll get to the super chats in a minute.
We got quite a few to go.
Yeah, we got a lot.
Shouting Out To Supporters 00:00:57
We got a few to go.
AK, I don't listen to rap, but your coverage on Ebro, Hot 97 Firing, was a life and business lesson.
I've listened to a one-hour cut at least four times.
And it's a reminder to never take anything for granted.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Yo, you know what to be taught, bro?
I'm not listening for anything.
I'm listening for the education.
Because with me, it's like, yo, I have experience.
He knows the background.
He knows what's happening on a back end and a front end.
So it's like, okay, I'm going to take all this information.
I second it and say, yo, Akis speaking back.
Guess what?
You don't get that on the videos.
You get like the service level, and that's it.
Let me tell this.
You see, what he's talking about, people realize how very minuscule things really matter.
When I gave that rant, it was about I met him at a time that I was trying to get on.
He completely shitted on me and shitted on the avenue I went on.
I became the guy grossing over $10 million a year doing hip-hop content.
