00:04.240 --> 00:05.680

00:05.680 --> 00:08.320
Chuck Creek mer Jigsaw is at Dreamville

00:08.320 --> 00:10.080

00:10.080 --> 00:12.960
dear friends in this insane music

00:12.960 --> 00:16.560
business d1 d1 man I'm so blessed to be

00:16.560 --> 00:18.800
with my dog Chuck right now man

00:18.800 --> 00:20.800
dreamville Fest just got even more lit

00:20.800 --> 00:22.960
you heard absolutely man so what brings

00:22.960 --> 00:24.640
you you know what brings you here with

00:24.640 --> 00:26.400
all these heathens i ain't going to lie

00:26.400 --> 00:29.119
man you funny bro that man said heathens

00:29.119 --> 00:31.760
well networking yeah okay networking bro

00:31.760 --> 00:33.520
honestly my calling card to success

00:33.520 --> 00:35.520
hasn't been

00:35.520 --> 00:37.840
what people have done for me it's been

00:37.840 --> 00:40.000
what I've been able to do by meeting

00:40.000 --> 00:42.160
people and by making real organic

00:42.160 --> 00:44.079
relationships with people so I got to

00:44.079 --> 00:45.840
get out and network man some people

00:45.840 --> 00:47.360
don't do you know that some artists

00:47.360 --> 00:48.960
don't leave the house if they not

00:48.960 --> 00:51.520
getting paid to be somewhere man it cost

00:51.520 --> 00:53.280
me money to come here you heard me but

00:53.280 --> 00:54.800
it was well worth it because when you

00:54.800 --> 00:56.480
make certain connections it's like "Oh

00:56.480 --> 00:58.399
that's priceless right there." And you

00:58.399 --> 01:00.079
can't put a dollar amount on some of

01:00.079 --> 01:01.440
these interactions you have and when

01:01.440 --> 01:03.120
people saying D your music changed my

01:03.120 --> 01:05.439
life d man I love you so much d you're a

01:05.439 --> 01:08.080
real man of God d yeah man that was

01:08.080 --> 01:10.479
worth the trip yeah definitely now you

01:10.479 --> 01:12.640
have been changing lives man but then

01:12.640 --> 01:14.400
there's also push back how do you deal

01:14.400 --> 01:16.080
with that yeah the push back got to be

01:16.080 --> 01:17.520
there if the push back ain't there then

01:17.520 --> 01:18.799
I ain't doing something right you heard

01:18.799 --> 01:21.360
me so man it's a lot of negative dark

01:21.360 --> 01:23.600
energy it's a lot of uh ignorance in the

01:23.600 --> 01:25.360
music industry and I want to confront

01:25.360 --> 01:27.360
all of it head on and be like "What's up

01:27.360 --> 01:28.960
i see y'all." You heard me and and

01:28.960 --> 01:30.560
behind all that ignorance you really a

01:30.560 --> 01:32.000
man of God you heard me you really a

01:32.000 --> 01:34.000
woman of God i love y'all but we got to

01:34.000 --> 01:36.560
call this what it is the the industry is

01:36.560 --> 01:38.320
celebrating you for this and I'm just

01:38.320 --> 01:39.920
sitting here saying that don't deserve

01:39.920 --> 01:41.759
to be celebrated cuz while you making a

01:41.759 --> 01:44.159
little bag off of that you poisoning our

01:44.159 --> 01:47.119
community yeah now the dark energy has

01:47.119 --> 01:51.040
gotten a lot a lot a lot more in uh or

01:51.040 --> 01:53.360
at least it's come to light a lot more

01:53.360 --> 01:55.920
in the last year or two um how do you

01:55.920 --> 01:57.840
feel about how things have developed and

01:57.840 --> 01:59.920
where do you think it's heading i think

01:59.920 --> 02:03.520
that reality is that we in a effed up

02:03.520 --> 02:05.600
situation right now that's why I don't

02:05.600 --> 02:07.759
even call what's happening hip-hop

02:07.759 --> 02:09.280
anymore

02:09.280 --> 02:11.920
i had to make a new term for it bro

02:11.920 --> 02:14.959
hypocritical hop woo that's what it is

02:14.959 --> 02:17.599
okay you know it goes it goes so against

02:17.599 --> 02:19.520
what hip-hop was founded on and why

02:19.520 --> 02:21.599
hip-hop was created so I literally

02:21.599 --> 02:23.520
created the term and I said you know

02:23.520 --> 02:25.360
what that's going to be the title of my

02:25.360 --> 02:27.760

say you just you could tell if you're

05:16.000 --> 05:17.840
making an impact when you step into a

05:17.840 --> 05:20.160
place like this and how people approach

05:20.160 --> 05:22.080
you you know either one they feel like

05:22.080 --> 05:23.919
you're unapproachable so they see you

05:23.919 --> 05:25.440
but they don't come over there because

05:25.440 --> 05:27.759
what you give off online is "Oh that

05:27.759 --> 05:29.440
person ain't friendly." You know that's

05:29.440 --> 05:31.680
one scenario the other scenario is they

05:31.680 --> 05:33.440
come up to you and because you give

05:33.440 --> 05:35.440
negative energy off they come to you

05:35.440 --> 05:37.280
with negative energy you feel me and the

05:37.280 --> 05:38.960
third scenario is they come up to you

05:38.960 --> 05:41.600
and they like "Brother respect you know

05:41.600 --> 05:43.759
respect brother i respect what you doing

05:43.759 --> 05:45.680

05:47.360 --> 05:49.759
three man so got me feeling good today

05:49.759 --> 05:52.759
man
