[00:02:46]I think it's worse now cuz they actually worse than they're than them because they they taking it they taking it there.

[00:02:55]They don't they don't think money. I think they think money comes out of a computer. They don't know the value.

[00:03:01]That's another thing. At what point y'all feel like like money don't come out of a computer? At what point do you say This year was a rude awakening for me.

[00:03:11]I'm not even going to lie. Yeah. This year I think was the first year I started paying my own taxes. That means you made a lot of money. Like everything that I do I'm like, hey, what account is that coming out of? That LLC, the business, the I'm like really in tune and everything is like very eye opening to say the least. What is happening is you you building an empire and you just you just touched the surface of of of following your dad. I was an assistant. What's the I've never had an assistant in my whole entire career. Not too much on Joan. Joan is here. What do we call that assistant?

[00:03:49]Trinity, where's Danny, Joan? I have a I have a This is not This is like you have to support the team also. Like does anybody know the team doesn't just hang out with you? Like the team comes with an invoice.

[00:04:00]>> Mhm.

[00:04:02]>> And it's a lot of It's a lot of work.

[00:04:05]A lot of work.

[00:04:07]Guys, it's a lot >> I try to limit that.

[00:04:09]>> Yeah, to >> You try to limit the team. You try to limit the expenses.

[00:04:12]>> Like you It takes a lot of money to walk outside. A girl?

[00:04:15]>> Shoot, man. Yeah, girls takes a lot of money to walk outside.

[00:04:19]>> They're all nodding back there. They're like >> No, it's true. And but what what I do like about you is that you're an entrepreneur and you bossed up.

[00:04:29]So, you didn't wait for nobody to give you no comp and no podcast and all that.

[00:04:33]One day I just walked in the house and it was a film crew in the closet and they was like, "Yeah, this my new podcast." I'm like, "Really?"

[00:04:41]And I like that cuz I'm a entrepreneur.

[00:04:43]I'm a hustler myself. So, it's like, "Wow, she did that on her own." And then she just keeps building the team. I don't have the team she has. So, I don't have an assistant.

[00:04:55]I do have a stylist, but she has assistant, she has a film crew, she has stylist, she has this. And I'm just like, "Damn."

[00:05:04]Uh she dead ass is investing in um herself. And so, the main thing is everybody look at you like you crazy when you believe in yourself. And then once you successful, they be like, "Y'all, you knew all the time."

[00:05:19]This, this, that. So, to be an entrepreneur is always people doubting you and they think that that you crazy. But like you rapping, right? What you want to be a superstar rapper? What you want to do?

[00:05:33]>> Trying to reach his level. Then then >> Build on that.

[00:05:37]>> Yeah.

[00:05:38]How hard is that? Like you know, to to make your own identity to where yeah, my dad is such and such, but I'm him.

[00:05:46]>> say it's like it's heavy being in their shadow, but like I try to get as far away as possible from that kind of >> Dude, but you look real so it's like >> But I know it it's probably 10 times hard a thousand times harder that you do the same thing. So, how is that?

[00:06:04]>> Um I don't know. It's I just I figured I figured out. Some days you can't. Like some days you just got to it is what it is. Other days it be all right, we building with you, we rocking with you.

[00:06:14]You just got to you can't let the noise blind you or jade what you got going on.

[00:06:20]>> ask you a question. You think you're like the Jackson 5 like your father got it, you got it, maybe your little brothers got it. Do you believe that?

[00:06:28]>> I don't think my little brothers want to do it, but >> No, I'm just saying. Yeah, you like the Jackson 5, you got the DNA.

[00:06:34]>> Yeah.

[00:06:34]>> That's crazy.

[00:06:35]>> Yeah.

[00:06:36]>> And that's hard because I got family members that try to rap and all that and I can tell when they talk to me they look at me like they just think >> They think it's there.

[00:06:46]>> It's it's the Cartagener thing and and trust me, I've been trying to tell them like, "Yo, if you don't make hot [ __ ] if you don't get hot on your own and all that, this ain't the Jackson 5.

[00:07:02]J it's different for me because I'm like, "Yo, if you and and trust me, it's a hard thing. Now, you you've been buzzing, you putting a lot of work, you going hard, you at least you touching the third rail. You there, the surface, you got motion.

[00:07:18]Uh but most of these guys, like if you look at all all the rappers, legendary rappers, all their kids came out and said they rap.

[00:07:28]None of them really made it.

[00:07:30]>> You got to do the work.

[00:07:31]>> Uh-huh.

[00:07:32]>> You got to do the work.

[00:07:33]>> Yeah, I see you doing the >> That's a lot of work that's skipped from a lot of people. You got to just do the work.

[00:07:39]>> No, you got to do the work and I see you doing the work, but there's a lot of people that have tried to rap that their parents or somebody and it just didn't happen.

[00:07:51]I'm talking about the greatest of the greats, you know what I'm saying? And And so, I think something that's a problem that
