I think that it's um give me some advice. I don't know enough about it. I'm an idiot I just own anything on anything money related because you have an icon jeep. So I know you have more money I just work a lot That you know what? That was such grandfatherly. That's true. That's the shit my grandfather's saying I'm not a big i'm not a big investor. I'm not very smart. I got you I I have people handling that kind of stuff, but you do work a lot, but I don't pay attention to anything I don't feel as guilty now. Yeah, I do too many things Yeah, I've gotten myself to the place where I know exactly what I have to pay attention to and what I don't I don't have to pay attention to is just gone. Robert Polay my accountant has made it pretty easy for me He is literally a graph. This is a dollar you make This is what goes into savings. This is what goes into investment. This is what you and shay want to invest in real estate This is for retirement. So now everything that comes in I already know So it's like when they call us and so like hey you guys you guys got a 500 000 a day I just know that i'm not going home with 250 because after management commissions my wife and my accountant already chopped that shit up I got enough money to buy a camaro. Yeah I don't like to think about that. I just think about that because you know i'm black and You know shit ain't been too good if you ain't got money If you pour in black if you pour america's fucked up If you pour in black america's fucked up with a dildo in your ass So, you know my whole shit is let me take care of my money because my grandpa, you know, my grandmother's Her family owned land they started to sharecroppers, but because they own land She could she could become educated because they could sell the stuff they grew to stores and produce markets and stuff So she they were methodist. So she got to go to school my grandfather His mother owned no land So my grandfather had to work in a bread factory and in cotton mills and shit. So I knew the difference between Ownership and you know the advantages of having something in it So it's something I can't have obsessed on because I don't want my children to endure Poverty and I and I grew up working class, you know my wife she jokes me. She says it a lot You know, she's from housing projects in savannah and her grandmother and her mother worked they were out of there But you know, she says to me me all the time. You were spoiled, you know, you're a little rich kid I'm like, what are you talking about? She's like you had a fucking rv. I'm like I lived in an a-frame house She's like I don't care your grandpa your grandparents couldn't afford a rv. You guys went on vacation. You were spoiled, right? So I understand money means a lot and it doesn't mean everything to me But it helps to afford me to be able to take care of my children. I completely understand it But I don't I don't really give a shit like on a daily basis. I'm more like you I just but you think about businesses you think about starting businesses informing businesses How do you have the time to do that and write and perform and all the other shit that you do? Because it enabled when the businesses enable me to enjoy writing and performing when I had to rap when there was no choice Um, it it wasn't as fun anymore. Okay, because the pressure was am I gonna chart? Can I make this much? Will the record versus you know, if I have a couple of streams of revenue coming in, you know It makes it a little more relaxed and my art is freer that way, you know, oh, I like that answer That's a great answer that makes sense That makes a lot of sense actually Yeah to free yourself up creatively so that all you have to think about when you're doing that you're just doing what you want to do Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, man. That's ideal That's wise. That's the goal. Yeah If i'm a you know A lot of people talk a lot of shit about billionaires They like it they want to be and then there are tons of billionaires from the nerdy sexy abil gates to the wild Dope eccentric sexy of elion musk to the og's of warren buffett and shit. I like ted turner I like ted turner as well. Ted was the guy who got nine got snookered out of six ended up with one or two And it's like man i'm living my fucking life growing bison eating good meat Where a fucking cowboy hat with my funky mustache feeling like he's he was such a good Owner of teams in our city when he owned the teams. He was a great man with tv. S He did a lot of good. He's if you know, if if a billion is the new style I want to be a billionaire early but if having a lot of money as a standard I'd like to be the quirky eccentric guy like ted. Yeah, he always seemed free to me Yeah, especially once you got rid of jane fonda. Hey man shots out Well, he married jane fonda the south boy. We thought we thought it was Oh, man, it was like the city of atlanta head went back to gone with the wind. It was just amazing again It was people were strutting around that, you know, jane fonda's virtually our first lady You know people start to but she was a nice lady to the city David justice and holly berry were interesting too Not as interesting as ted. He was a handsome bastard. He was one motherfucker. What was it? What's the um, what's the yachting of anyone? I don't know the yachting who's he got in the yachting out of nowhere America's cup. America's that was it america's cup was it Was that right? Yeah Ted tournier lived the life that ralph lawrence puts on t-shirt Yeah, he looks like uh, like a billionaire in a movie too he does Great gatsby type. He does he does some guy who's a wise billionaire brings you into his study And you have a scotch with him on ice exactly he explains shit to you and you're like what in the fuck Shouts out to ted man. I know you don't get your love like a lot of the other guys I think he lays in the cut. He does the fucking Montana growing bison. He's out there chilling The man rebounded the population of bison so he could cook them and eat them It's like get the fuck out of here. That's bad ass, man Look at those overalls respect. That's how my fucking grandfather dressed with the same mustache That's what I want to be like when I think about Making 21 million and escaping the game and shit. This is me like maybe overalls in a braids cap But this is it now. Let me ask you this how far away from him are dudes with machine guns at all times? But he's in fucking Montana. Yeah, but so what I can drive to Montana Who wants to kill no one wants to kill ted turn get somebody bro. No one wants to kill I imagine he has two snipers. He probably has a yeah, he probably has two snipers Say east and west and he has one guy within a few feet of him, but very relaxed I don't think ted's walking around like a doffie
