Well, I took my sip already, bro.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

How much y' all want me to drink? Half the bottle got me 1800 out.

[Swae Lee]

I ain't gonna get on that timing, man.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

That's a quadruple shot, my brother.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

How did you get discovered? How did you get in the game? Was it Mike? Will I just see you come out of nowhere, just like Jada. Jada ain't exaggerating the line. You just came out and your shit was legendary, like. So how did you get your start?

[Swae Lee]

I grew up in Mississippi. And long story short, my DJ was cousins with Mike woods, producers, the Ear Drummers. So it's my homies, P, Nasty and Mars. They first got in touch with us, and they heard our music that we was making from Mississippi. So they told us, man, y' all come to Atlanta, man. Y' all work with us. You know what I'm saying? Just lock in with us, see what comes from it. So we was working at McDonald's, just doing what we could to get some money at the time. So, boom, one of my homies, he had a truck. So we got down, drove that shit from Mississippi to Atlanta, and just locked in, like, a whole year in the basement and just Cooking up with Mike Will. Cooking up with the ear drummers. Just creating a new sound. And Mike Will would come over and hear the songs. He'd be like, yo, man, y' all boy is hard. You know what I'm saying? He always paid show mad love. And then he had an idea for a group, ear Drummers backwards. And he felt like the sound, like, matched that name. And we was like, shit, that's hard. You know what I'm saying? So boom.

[Jada Kiss]

Yeah.

[Swae Lee]

You know what I'm saying?

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

That's how it happened, me and Broski. You know what's crazy is it's good to have money. Yeah, right. And success. But it was nothing more priceless than that time when you was in the

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

basement creating that music and all that, you know? I met Bryson Tiller and my man Rich the Barber's house. We used to live in Rich the Barber's house. He was making that whole first album in his kitchen.

[Swae Lee]

Damn.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So I got to see that product.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Of course, he got the big mansion now.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

He kicked the fuck up. But it was, you know, that's a priceless time when you. When you there learning the ropes and you coming up with these hits and you coming up with that sound and, you know, and dreaming. So after that year, y' all put out this music, and then the next thing you know, you explode. How did that feel? Making a transition from nobody knowing you

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

to now you the biggest shit in the game.

[Swae Lee]

Man, it was crazy. Cause, like, when we lived in Atlanta, it's like some of these clubs, you know what I'm saying? They turned us around. So many people told us, nah, we can't even play this. You know what I'm saying?

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

So.

[Swae Lee]

But we on foot with it, you know, saying we work in every club, we screaming our shit loud in the streets. You know what I'm saying? We're handing out CDs, everything. So the turnaround was crazy. Like, the same clubs that was turning us around, same spots that was turning us around. They, like, they welcomed us with open arms. Yeah. Booking us, sending bags. So it's like, damn.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Shit.

[Swae Lee]

Crazy.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

It was crazy. YFN Lucci was here, and he forgot. But I remember one night, I come out the club, he's performing on top

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

of the car, his song. And they was like, yo, that's yfn. I mean, Atlanta got a different type of grind. Motherfucker gonna do what they gotta do, he told me. I remember watching YFN Lucci on top of a fucking car performing his song outside the club.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I said, man, that motherfucker grinding.

[Swae Lee]

Hungry to come up for sure. Super hungry, doing whatever.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

That's really nuts.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Cause that's the way I didn't think

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

your era y' all was doing that.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's how we came up, like, giving the vinyl to the dj, going to every club.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And the truth is, we gotta get

[Swae Lee]

on foot with a few.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You can't really.

[Jada Kiss]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You can't be successful just standing in the corner, sitting on your couch.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You gotta like, you come on. Two times. Two times. That's who we're supposed to. Let me tell you something. Thank you, brother. But you can't be, you know, in your say. My daughter. My daughter got a little podcast, shout

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

out to as he as if.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

And she's making he say she doing shit. Yeah, but she's doing shit because she out there in everybody face and working and doing whatever she can do on

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

the front lines, networking and getting a relationship.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So every time she comes out with

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

a new breakthrough, I'm like, yeah, but she.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

She gotta be out.

[Swae Lee]

She laid the brick.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Nobody gonna be able to give you that success or get you to where you going without you out there grinding, putting in that work. It's just the way it is. I think if I put out a new record, I got. I gotta do the same shit now. 20, 26, like, pull up on the club and be like, yo, play this shit, yo, this and this and that. I mean, it's always been where it's at. It's always been where you get the

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I know that.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I know the DNA in New York City is. It's hard for man. It's too much jealousy when I come down the block. And that Rolls Royce is just hard, man. Crossing the street.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You see that in their eyes and all that. That I might have drove it one time in New York City like that. Just sitting there for no reason.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

It's just.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

It's just I can't even get away. As fast as I pull that out, the faster on a day like today. That's nice. That should be back in the garage. It's like they just can't. They can't paralyze. They can't take that. They basically, like, you just.

[Swae Lee]

They discuss drinks.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's. I'm telling you, nobody. You can't take that here. Here in Miami, you go to Carbone anywhere, 72 Rolls Royce.

[Swae Lee]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

It shouldn't look like a skateboard out there. So many got them shits over here. Good luck. Telling you good luck. I drove through the same blocks I always drove through with bro. Like, yo, Crack, what up, yo. You come down with that big body,

motherfuckers be like that shit.

[Swae Lee]

They just tight.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Just. They hate you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know, I come up in an

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

era where that's motivation. So I used to see the guys who used to hustle or sell the own number spots and this, this, that.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Or see a motherfucker fly. You see a motherfucker in your hood. I come from. It was horrible. Like, nobody was fly. If one was fly, we used to

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

look at him like, yeah, yeah, fly. One day, a little V Bomber, give

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

me a little something.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And you know, we always took it as inspiration, right? You know what I'm saying? Now, I don't know where that switch off is now. It's looked like they.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

They almost assume you rubbing it in their face that you're successful. They take it another way now.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Before, it used to be like, inspiration.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Miami, everybody got money. I don't know what it is. It's some fake shit.

[Swae Lee]

It's like, different energy.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Is everybody rich? Like, I lived there for 23 years. Like, everywhere I go is. They got ballet and Walgreens.

[Swae Lee]

Oh, God.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah. So everything good now? Cause unforgettable, they say, you know, there was a mix up of communication.

[Swae Lee]

I think what it was like, it looked one way on the Internet, but in real life, it's just. It just wasn't the traditional way you go about clearing a song, you know what I'm saying? But the outcome of the song was everything we could have imagined, you know, saying everything we wanted. So it was a lot going on at the time, you know what I'm saying? But in the end, you know what

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I'm saying, work yourself out. As rich as he is, he still

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

talked to himself on the park bench about that song.

[Swae Lee]

[Swae Lee]

He ain't agree with how it happened, but I get it because it's like it was a long story, you know what I'm saying? It's like. It's kind of like some backdoor, but it's like seeing an opportunity and season, you know what I'm saying?

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Basically what it was, the best thing is that it came out and went like 20 million or 10 million, some wild shit, right?

[Swae Lee]

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

They don't really get out like that.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Biggest stars in the world.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

When you start talking to them in,

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

like, interviews, they ain't got no fluidity. They ain't got shit to say. And you taking a bull by the horns, going to the schools and talking to them, that's. That's pretty unique in this day and era.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You know what I'm saying?

[Swae Lee]

Yeah. I feel. Yeah, it's a lot of mysterious. Mysteriousness going on.

[Podcast Host (Eating While Broke)]

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really started making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and the they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what today? Now, Obviously it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you gotta go get a real job.

[Kiana]

There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.

[Podcast Host (Eating While Broke)]

And what I mean by fail is

[Kiana]

they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

[Nick, Dick and Pole Show Host]

You meet the, like the president.

[Daniel Alarcon]

You think. You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Let's walk through that. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time.

[Nick, Dick and Pole Show Host]

What color?

[Daniel Alarcon]

I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.

[Nick, Dick and Pole Show Host]

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep, it was a good one.

[Kiana]

I like that saying.

[Daniel Alarcon]

It's an actual Polish saying.

[Jada Kiss]

It is.

[Daniel Alarcon]

It is an actual better version of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Jada Kiss]

Yes.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Which. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Boys and Girls dives into every twist and turn of the arranged marriage carousel. The meet awkward, the near misses, the heartbreak. And let's not forget all the jokes.

The worst thing he could have did.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

He had a little pork in there. Oh, man.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

And he told the man 100 times that. That he don't eat pork. Yeah, he wanted to kill us, man. I was like, yo, we in the airport. That's the one place you don't want to fight. You don't want to be tough.

[Swae Lee]

You don't want.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You got to handle your losses there and keep it moving because you want to fly. But he lost his mind.

[Swae Lee]

It was that serious. On, God.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Yeah. I can't do it, man. The pork shit, I don't know, but

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

it no pork, right?

[Jada Kiss]

No pork.

[Swae Lee]

No pork.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Chipotle ain't got no pork.

[Swae Lee]

They do. They got the shredded pork. Yeah,

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

you just gotta resist that shit for golf. That's not for the convention.

[Swae Lee]

Nah, for sure.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Cause, you know, they mix that shit up and they put the pork on the grill. Should be like shredded beef on the grill.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah, it'd be like shredded beef, chicken.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

So you might.

[Jada Kiss]

Once they mix it up on you, you finish.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah. When they shred it, you can't sell. For real.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I'm so anti pork, I don't even know why I'm anti pork. I'm so anti pork that I get mad when I go to, like, a fucking bodega, and the Muslim dude is making a ham and cheese. I'm like, yo, this shit a violation, my man. Like, fucking part of this. What part of the cipher is this? You Muslim and you cutting up a ham and cheese?

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I guess, like, business is business or you just can't eat it.

[Jada Kiss]

You can't even supposed to have it in the store if you must.

[Swae Lee]

Okay, word. Damn.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Hello. That's what I'm talking about. That's what it's called.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Stafa. Law means you violated.

[Swae Lee]

Damn.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

It's haram. Haram. That's the haram staf Allah stuff. Allah is like the 5%.

[Jada Kiss]

If you pull out a bacon egg right now, that's whatever hit you with stuff.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You can't teach them.

[Swae Lee]

You want this? Yeah, send this to me.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

[Jada Kiss]

She did a lot of. This is a famous couch. Hold on.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You want to know what's crazy? You know what's crazy?

[Swae Lee]

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know what's crazy is Smithsoni and all. You know, when I'm Hollywood, put some

[Swae Lee]

wax figures on this.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

When I used to coach at the

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Worker, I'm telling you, they had a. No, I'm playing.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Hey, you just did it to do it. I couldn't. I ain't gonna lie.

[Swae Lee]

I really wanted to do that, though.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Listen, let me tell you, hear me with that game, Masala. I have no clue why I caught the flag. I was gonna tell you an innocent story.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah, I'm around for you.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I really.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I came here, I made him throw a flag at the locks of it. He didn't want to throw it at him. I was like, throw it, throw it. You know he deserves it. He was like, ah, can he do it? Let me tell you something. When I used to be at the Rucker.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Yeah. They had this announcer, Hannibal, right?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Boy, boy, boy, boy, Hannibal. So, Hannibal, you know when.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

When Jay Z had a team, we used to bring Beyonce there.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So one time, Beyonce must have said

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

hi to him or whatever.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

But he forever, lifetime, Garrett, he start every game. Yeah, boy, boy. It's Hannibal, the most electrifying one. You see this cheek right here? This is where Beyonce gave me the kiss that on my cheek. Boy, boy. That's right, brother. This, yo, that was his claim to fame till he didn't fucking announce a game.

[Jada Kiss]

It's the people that won't ever wash their face. Again, if they get a kiss from

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Beyonce, that's a fact.

[Swae Lee]

That's a flex, though. I ain't gonna lie.

[Jada Kiss]

He is a dude.

[Swae Lee]

If it's confirmed. That's a flex, though.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Nah, but that's a hello, you know. It's a hello. She with her husband. I'm just saying, the man ain't never let that shit go. That was like, you know, I'm loving it. You know, that was his. That was his. Just do it. His was his logo. That was his Nike swoosh. We got new music to hear.

What was that? Sample synthesizer.

[Swae Lee]

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I was listening to that. I said, Damn. They did, like, some baby face.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah, they freaked that, you know, because.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Would you call that R B?

[Swae Lee]

Oh, I call that kind of like R B. Pop, like some.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I don't even know.

[Swae Lee]

Like, it's like. It's like a fine line.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I don't really know. Yeah, because kind of pop, like, to me, it's like, you know, everybody always complained.

[Swae Lee]

For real. Because it got that little bounce.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

No, that incredible.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

But the shit is like, you know, everybody compl. Everybody in my age group complained that

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

we ain't got, like, a Brandi Monica. We ain't got.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Well, you know, y' all putting shit out. You know, Kalani with that folded.

[Swae Lee]

Folded was crazy, you know what I'm saying?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

That was real R B. Whatever, you know what I'm saying?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

This shit right here sound like a joint, too.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

It sound like a big boy, you know what I mean? So it's like, you know, y' all

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

coming with shit, you know, I think I.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You know, we so used to begging the girls on our records, you know what I'm saying?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I'll buy you everything.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Give me one.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Well, you kind of said that right there with. You gonna need another suit. Okay. That mean you buying that you're about to take a shopping, huh?

[Swae Lee]

She got some new.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

She about to get some new. So you buying still? Y'. All still. They kept that same day. Same. Different slang. Different slang. He buying some out there, huh?

[Jada Kiss]

Suitcase.

[Swae Lee]

I appreciate that, bro.

[Jada Kiss]

Yeah, man.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So what's tour like?

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You. You.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You going on tour to support this thing right here or.

[Swae Lee]

Definitely. Definitely going on some tours. We got. We got one in the works right now. We just lining up dates on, but that's with another artist. But definitely one specific for. Same difference for sure.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You know what I'm saying? And what could you say about the ups and downs of the music business? Because, you know, some days you're on top, some days you lukewarm.

[Swae Lee]

For me, I just think, like, everybody had a time, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's like a cycle. Like, just go around. Everybody had a time. You know I'm saying, catch a moment, keep it rocking. Go back to the drawing boards. Just be ready when they come back to you. You know what I'm saying? Like, don't get comfortable and just. Yeah, just wait for your time. For real.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

For real.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Many artists have had to fight the adversity.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You know, you could. You could be on top of the world.

[Swae Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Come back, you see the eye.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

They sleeping on you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Then you gotta come Back with a Frisbee.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Get the motherfuckers on the ass.

[Swae Lee]

For real?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, that's, you know, that's. That's how I judge artists personally.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Right. Like, I seen some artists that I

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

was like, I don't know if this person got it. You know, I always say to make

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

a hit record, just one hit record is a miracle because it could be.

[Swae Lee]

When you put it down, it goes clean over the heads for sure.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

No, no, I'm just saying, actually, a one hit wonder is better than being on your couch trying to make music for 20 years and never having to hit one hit wonder. But imagine the guys that keep making those hits. Those guys and girls are exceptional. When I see that, that's when I go, all right, this person trying to stick. You know how many artists I've seen come, and then when they come the second or third time with another one, I'd be like, oh, they want. They want to stick around here to say, I get used to this.

[Jada Kiss]

I felt about him, Big Poppy Ortiz, he came in and put shits over there. Every. Every time he got up, I said,

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

oh, this thing is. Wait.

[Swae Lee]

Oh, yeah,

[Jada Kiss]

Real estate in this.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Because, you know, some people, they just

[Jada Kiss]

pass and they come for a cup of green tea.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

They olives, green tea. Before you know it, the sensation is gone.

[Swae Lee]

Right, right.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, the pub near you.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

None of that.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know, sometimes you ever been to like a jazz joint? Not saying jazz, but I've been to like little restaurants where there a guy

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

or a girl, they sing like Whitney Houston. And you sitting there and you wondering, yo, what happened?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Why this young lady ain't the biggest in the world?

[Jada Kiss]

Why this guy know the right people? And then it wasn't the moment

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

people

[Jada Kiss]

take getting on and making it for granted. It's not that everybody could do it. Everybody do it.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah. There's different elements to it. But what I do know is that people gotta like you.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

They gotta like you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

So that's so many talented people that never succeeded. And I can't give you the reason why, because they write hits for everybody else. Yeah, I know, listen.

[Swae Lee]

Ooh, do that.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I can't do that because it's not

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

fair to them, but. Nah, I can't do that. But.

[Jada Kiss]

But that's still. If you write hits for people and. And you get the. You're just doing your money and all that, and you just want to be lit. I think you a bird for them.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Well, they all want to be lit. So anybody who writes smash hits for everybody, you tell anybody.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Okay.

[Jada Kiss]

Would you rather Write smash hits and receive what you supposed to receive, or get the hits written for you and be lit and be yo, yo.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Yeah, no, I'm with you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

But what I'm saying to you is, unfortunately, I watch who want to be lit.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah. Front line.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I watch guys who wrote albums for

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

guys to sold 10, 20 million with that album. And they filthy rich. And then they try to do their own album. And when you hear it, it's so fire, right? And then you, like, the face.

[Swae Lee]

Don't match the looks, don't.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Like, Beyonce would have sung that. If Usher would have sung that record, if this one would have dissed, like, you know, they just finished coming from giving out the biggest hits in the world. Then they do their own album. They like, all right, it's time for my shit. Can't blame him for wanting to be a star.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

The album's incredible too, right?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

But it don't go.

[Swae Lee]

They put that battery in their back.

[Jada Kiss]

You just. You're a football star with a helmet on. Still a star.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah. They don't see your face.

[Jada Kiss]

Yeah,

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

He got that right.

[Jada Kiss]

He just want to be seen.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

You just wanna be seen.

[Swae Lee]

They know it's you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, that's how I feel. People gotta like you.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

It's just the bottom line.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's. That's how I feel about and it.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And me, I studied game. It took me a long time to understand that. Like, I be sitting there and, you

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

know, I got friends that are writers that could write big hits and all that, and they wanna be artists.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And to me, the music's incredible.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

These guys are handsome.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

This woman is beautiful.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And for some reason, they just don't connect, you know? And that's crazy.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know, sometimes too me, I don't know. I guess we all up on this

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

couch because we think we know music.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Or sometimes I hear records or I see artists that I know for a fact.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

I'll be like, oh, no, she's out of here.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

This guy's out of here. And then it don't go.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And I'm confused. And I'm like, for sure that was supposed to be out of here.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I think it's all God's doing. I think it's all the. Once again, I just.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

It all came back to people gotta like you.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I always use Cardi B.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

As an example, but people thought she was funny and they liked her before they ever knew she was ever gonna put out a record.

[Swae Lee]

Facts.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

And then she put out of here the Bodak yellow. You like, damn.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

On top of that fire.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

It's on, you know, and that's understandable.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

And that's what I.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That. That, you know, if there's any artists out there looking, you gotta find a

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

way to get that connection with the people. And I think that's the most priceless thing, you know, for us. We take it for granted. You think you a hit maker?

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You think you a hit maker?

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Nah, it's the people.

[Jada Kiss]

I am a hit maker.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

Yeah, but somebody gotta like your hit. And so what I'm saying to you is, when you go outside, okay, but when you walk out in the stadium and they.

[Jada Kiss]

That's the Lord.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's the blessing.

[Jada Kiss]

That's the Lord.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's the blessing. Because some people got music like that. Crickets. Some people got music like that and Cricket mania.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know what I'm saying? That Cricket mania.

[Swae Lee]

Damn, that's cold.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I learned that one day. One day I go, I go. I'm performing last year in Ohio. And listen, my daughter's way more into Swae Lee's music than Fat Joe.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

Like, I don't even think she's a fan, Pete.

[Swae Lee]

Oh, that's.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I don't know how to explain. She like, you know, the Travis, all the young popping shit.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

She come in Ohio to my show.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]

She got her girlfriend who go to college, her boyfriend. They come to my show, and somehow the paint got tore off the wall. Fat Joe went up in there, caught that body. Legend. 30,000.

[Jada Kiss]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

I think it was God assisted me that day so I could look like a hero. I come back after to my daughter. All right. You think your father whack, like, I'm tearing this down.

[Swae Lee]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

You know what I'm saying? But it is what it is. Some, you know, people gotta like you.

[Swae Lee]

Definitely.

[Joe Crack the Dawn]

That's the end of the day and that. And that's hard. You got to keep. You know, people don't understand. You got to keep working on that until they get that energy and they really fuck with you like that. Cause this ain't an overnight thing.

[Co-host (possibly Joe's co-host or friend)]
