ever do this interview like how bad it

25
00:00:52.739 --> 00:00:57.530

26
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.159

phenomenal

32
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:41.340
so I've always had an appreciation for

33
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:43.500
the impact of music videos from The Hype

34
00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:44.880
Williams big budget days to that Scrappy

35
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:47.280
Time when you'd see premieres on

36
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:49.680
notwright.com to you and what I would

37
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.720
consider to be the most cohesive visual

38
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.820
representation of today's Young rappers

39
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:56.700
what role do you think that the music

40
00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:57.960
video plays in defining today's hip-hop

41
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.460
era

42
00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:01.079
I think music videos are really

43
00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:04.380
important because

44
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:08.220
um it pairs a visual experience with you

45
00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:11.039
know the song audio and um for me I like

46
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:12.360
to always make sure that the video comes

47
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.560
out with the song so your first time

48
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.300
hearing that song is like this

49
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.099
experience that you remember being

50
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:18.360
attached to visually and I feel like

51
00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:20.640
music videos connected with an artist

52
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.379
and uh you know they display their

53
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:23.760
character and their personality and you

54
00:02:22.379 --> 00:02:26.340
can get fun and bring someone out of

55
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:29.040
their typical world and um

56
00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:31.379
I think it's just uh it's it's a moment

57
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:34.160
it's an experience and yeah I think it's

58
00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:34.160
super important

59
00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:41.420
that one wasn't bad at all I'm feeling

60
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.420
like I could do this

61
00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:45.900
it's like many creatives I understand

62
00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:48.180
that your journey began by just doing

63
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:50.340
grabbing a camera and making videos not

64
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:52.560
necessarily drawing inspiration from any

65
00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:54.120
particular filmmaker but it feels humor

66
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.739
me what I want to do is Bounce a series

67
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.120
of quotes off of you from people who are

68
00:02:55.739 --> 00:02:58.980
widely considered to be some of the

69
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.260
greatest rap music video directors ever

70
00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:02.879
and I'm just curious your reaction to

71
00:03:01.260 --> 00:03:05.340
them and whether or not they ring true

72
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.739
to you okay absolutely so this first one

73
00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:09.660
is from Director X anytime I disagree

74
00:03:07.739 --> 00:03:12.000
with the artist when the project is done

75
00:03:09.660 --> 00:03:14.340
I found the artist to be right you know

76
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.159
within reason I absolutely agree with

77
00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:19.080
that I agree with that because I'm often

78
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.000
in the same situation where I think I

79
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.159
have a really good idea and I might get

80
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.599
a you know a little bit of pushback from

81
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.220
the artists or maybe they may have an

82
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.879
opposing idea they want to eat a little

83
00:03:26.220 --> 00:03:29.700
bit

84
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.640
I think that's just like our creative

85
00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:34.440
um engine going but uh when we make

86
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:35.940
these adjustments we notice that it

87
00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:38.580
actually does benefit the project and I

88
00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:40.379
think letting outside eyes in that are

89
00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:41.819
so attached to the project as well can

90
00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:43.500
be very beneficial so I'd agree with

91
00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:45.120
that all right up next from Hype

92
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:47.400
Williams lighting helped me understand

93
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.959
how I want to express myself the more I

94
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.459
worked on it the more I realized I could

95
00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:53.879
control everything about what I was

96
00:03:50.459 --> 00:03:56.280
doing with color absolutely lighting uh

97
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.159
can impact video more than we realize it

98
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:02.400
can give so much uh feeling and texture

99
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:04.140
that we we would never think of you know

100
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.120
and then one more for you from Spike

101
00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:07.860
Jones I love when me and my friends

102
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.780
don't know how to make something there's

103
00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:11.159
that risk of failure if it's guaranteed

104
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.420
not to fail it's something you already

105
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.340
know how to do

106
00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:15.900
you finished on a good one it's the best

107
00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:19.079
one I'd say

108
00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:20.579
everything I do is uh going into things

109
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.260
um not knowing how it's gonna turn out

110
00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:23.520
and kind of shooting in the dark and

111
00:04:22.260 --> 00:04:25.800
hoping for the best and I think that

112
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:27.060
that pushes us uh

113
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.880
you know and it pushed our creative

114
00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:32.460
boundaries to levels that can make us

115
00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:34.570
excel in in many ways

118
00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:45.180
starting to feel like a champ yeah you

119
00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:47.100
look like a champ champ I feel like I

120
00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:48.720
can't be phased

121
00:04:47.100 --> 00:04:50.280
someone illumination entertainment

122
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.320
approached you to make a trailer for

123
00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:54.120
minions the rise of Gru what in the

124
00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:56.280
world was the process like for getting

125
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.199
Executives on the level of universal to

126
00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:01.199
sign off on an artist like Yeet for the

127
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.600
project it's quite the cultural win ah

128
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.880
man it was quite the experience and a

129
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:07.979
roller coaster to say the least but

130
00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:09.840
yeah so I had a few different artists

131
00:05:07.979 --> 00:05:11.699
lined up that were more PG and made more

132
00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:13.560
sense for this project and then I

133
00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:16.500
remember we were on a zoom something

134
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.419
just downed over me I was like ye is the

135
00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.620
guy for this and I told him I was like

136
00:05:18.419 --> 00:05:21.720
look

137
00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:23.460
I have something to throw at you

138
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.919
it's not what you're expecting

139
00:05:23.460 --> 00:05:27.479
um you know all of his music is you know

140
00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:29.820
centered around things that probably

141
00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:31.500
aren't fitting for this movie but

142
00:05:29.820 --> 00:05:33.600
I want to bring in this artist and have

143
00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:35.940
him make a song specific to the movie

144
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.100
and I think could be a really just big

145
00:05:35.940 --> 00:05:39.479
moment um for the underground for the

146
00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:40.800
internet and just for the movie as a

147
00:05:39.479 --> 00:05:42.840
whole I think it's like the perfect

148
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.000
storm and it's unexpected and I think it

149
00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:46.860
just shakes things up

150
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.259
and I pitch it to him

151
00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:51.900
and I got man I really don't know like

152
00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:53.340
this is a big movie two days later they

153
00:05:51.900 --> 00:05:54.840
had reached back and they're like you

154
00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:57.600
know he thought about it and we talked

155
00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:58.979
to people we think it's genius and uh I

156
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.180
am happy with how it went and it was

157
00:05:58.979 --> 00:06:02.280
really cool to see a trend kick off

158
00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:04.320
around this song In This Moment that

159
00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:06.000
actually motivated people going to the

160
00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:08.460
theaters because what more could you ask

161
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.840
for so illumination and Universal we're

162
00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:14.699
very happy with that for sure

163
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:16.800
thank you

164
00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:18.130
okay cool

165
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.240

[Music]

167
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.620
going in you know I haven't eaten well I

168
00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:27.660
had pretzels and some butter

169
00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:29.340
a little half stick of butter

170
00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:32.880
a girl told me it would coat my stomach

171
00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:35.039
well so did that but um it's like my

172
00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:37.340
lunch is pretty good so far smacking

173
00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:37.340
yeah

174
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.039
getting a little glossy yeah listen

175
00:06:41.340 --> 00:06:45.240
you're you're walking me on this uh on

176
00:06:44.039 --> 00:06:46.440
this journey here you know quite

177
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.479
confident I'm just along for the ride

178
00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:50.460
Cole you're making me feel good about

179
00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:52.440
myself

180
00:06:50.460 --> 00:06:54.000
so lyrical lemonade is a curator and

181
00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:55.500
constantly has its fingers on the pulse

182
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.020
of the artists that are about to blow

183
00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:59.819
I'm curious if you can articulate how

184
00:06:58.020 --> 00:07:01.979
you sift through the legions of Internet

185
00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:04.380
rappers who to the untrained eye to the

186
00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:06.240
untrained ear may seem homogeneous

187
00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:08.400
I do what I'm Into You know I think

188
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.500
there's been really really beautiful

189
00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:13.080
opportunities I've passed up on because

190
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:15.060
it just didn't align with you know

191
00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:16.979
my morals and what I kind of thought the

192
00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:18.419
business model of lyric lemonade was and

193
00:07:16.979 --> 00:07:19.620
it just wasn't what I was listening to

194
00:07:18.419 --> 00:07:22.800
and I think that there's times where

195
00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:24.060
I've taken a chance on artists that you

196
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.740
know people would argue I shouldn't

197
00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:27.300
because I was into it you know and I

198
00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:29.160
think

199
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:31.259
I think it's just it all comes from a

200
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.120
place of just doing what I love and and

201
00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:34.860
uh attacking it that way and that's kind

202
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.780
of like my mode and my approach to

203
00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:40.140
everything I do if I'm into it I do it

204
00:07:36.780 --> 00:07:43.339
if not then then I'm okay on it you know

205
00:07:40.140 --> 00:07:43.339

207
00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:50.419
bottle

208
00:07:47.940 --> 00:07:52.560
like like a cherry cream soda

209
00:07:50.419 --> 00:07:56.360

210
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.360

hip-hop music music videos and just pop

227
00:08:32.219 --> 00:08:36.719
culture I mean I remember Eminem as

228
00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:38.339
being the biggest thing in the world

229
00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:40.860
so to get to work with them so closely

230
00:08:38.339 --> 00:08:43.860

231
00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:45.959
ready to just log in all these hours and

232
00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:47.519
be so receptive to my ideas and my

233
00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:49.320
vision for things to you know a song

234
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:53.160
that he had created was really really

235
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:56.519
cool and um this photo was actually in

236
00:08:53.160 --> 00:08:58.500
the hospital room Mike Tyson was um off

237
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.420
shrooms he offered me some shrooms which

238
00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:03.000
you know was a was a bucket list moment

239
00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:04.740
for sure but you know being on set and

240
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.560
leading this Vision was was also a

241
00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:09.180
luckily moment so I had to pick my uh my

242
00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:13.019
poison there didn't do the shrooms but

243
00:09:09.180 --> 00:09:15.480

00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:17.519
it's a really cool dude

245
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.519
um before he left he's like I really

246
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:22.260
like how you uh LED today and how you um

247
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.660
you know directed this Vision how you

248
00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:26.339
operate on set and grab my shoulder and

249
00:09:24.660 --> 00:09:28.080
you like nodded his head and she looked

250
00:09:26.339 --> 00:09:29.220
at me for like 20 seconds and then you

251
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.560
know grab my shoulder pretty tight and

252
00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:32.820
then just walked off and it was uh it

253
00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:33.720
was a moment for sure I'll never forget

254
00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:35.399
it

255
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.959
then this one finally from the set of

256
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.540
your video for Justin Bieber is honest

257
00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:42.000
yeah Justin is one of my closest friends

258
00:09:39.540 --> 00:09:45.600
and uh actually it's a fine story too

259
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:47.820
the AC and his trailer went out this day

260
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:49.440
and uh he had sent me a song a week

261
00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:50.339
prior I saw the whole like I feel funny

262
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.740

267
00:09:58.380 --> 00:10:01.440
just you know it was the kind of example

268
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.160
of turning

269
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.560
um

270
00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:07.380

[Music]

[Music]

280
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:32.540

281
00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:36.080

282
00:10:37.459 --> 00:10:42.600
goodness

283
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:46.459

284
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:46.459

yeah classic classic I actually don't

287
00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:56.760
even have a question I just want to

288
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:59.640
point that out put the hinges in the

289
00:10:56.760 --> 00:11:01.980
[ __ ] boy's hands drop them in drop them

290
00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:03.540
in so quote of yours that really

291
00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:05.279
resonates with me comes from a 2018

292
00:11:03.540 --> 00:11:07.079
interview that you did with complex

293
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.000
where you said eventually I'll be old

294
00:11:07.079 --> 00:11:10.500
and not in tune with things I'm going to

295
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.779
be an old dude who people aren't going

296
00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:14.399
to look to for new music does that kind

297
00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:16.140
of perspective does that make you more

298
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.820
terrified about the future or is it

299
00:11:16.140 --> 00:11:20.839
actually kind of comforting

300
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:20.839
I think it's comforting

301
00:11:21.140 --> 00:11:25.740
we just need to be honest with ourselves

302
00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:28.019
and uh

303
00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:29.820
I think that you know you can only have

304
00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:32.279
your hand on

305
00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:34.260
the pulse of something finger on post

306
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.899
finger on the post finger on the post

307
00:11:34.260 --> 00:11:38.339
something for so long and um

308
00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:40.560
you know I plan to graduate from this

309
00:11:38.339 --> 00:11:41.820
and get into other things and have new

310
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:43.500
passions and

311
00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:45.899
you know explore new worlds and be the

312
00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:49.380
taste maker within that and I'll always

313
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:50.399
be within the space of music but I also

314
00:11:49.380 --> 00:11:51.060
have to understand that there's going to

315
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.880
be

316
00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:55.140
people that come after me and uh you

317
00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:57.300
know I want to inspire those generations

318
00:11:55.140 --> 00:11:59.399
and give give them the tools to be able

319
00:11:57.300 --> 00:12:01.980
to do what I did and you know just like

320
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:03.120
the people before me did for me and uh

321
00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:04.260
that's the whole name of the game I

322
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.640
think people that try to hold on to

323
00:12:04.260 --> 00:12:07.980
something for too long

324
00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:09.060
you get a little burnt out so y'all be

325
00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:12.680
honest with yourself and you gotta be

326
00:12:09.060 --> 00:12:12.680
honest with just how the game works

327
00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:20.660
Karma sauce

328
00:12:17.339 --> 00:12:20.660
I don't know how I feel about that

329
00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:25.560
yeah

330
00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:27.600
we're in that part of the show yeah

331
00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:30.660
we're getting there

332
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:33.440
but still going back in

333
00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:33.440
one bad guy

334
00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:37.380
so when my ulterior motives and booking

335
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:39.420
this interview is to ensure that I get a

336
00:12:37.380 --> 00:12:41.700
tour of lyrical lemonade H2 next time

337
00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:43.680
I'm home in Chicago what's the holiest

338
00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:47.399
of holy Grails on display in your

339
00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:47.399
Nostalgia room uh

340
00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:51.540
so the Nostalgia room is a room that I

341
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.079
built

342
00:12:51.540 --> 00:12:54.360
um

343
00:12:52.079 --> 00:12:56.399
that is like a place that anyone in the

344
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.540
office can escape to and relax a little

345
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.720
bit get their mind off things look

346
00:12:57.540 --> 00:13:01.560
around and

347
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.300
laughs

348
00:13:01.560 --> 00:13:05.160
have that nostalgic feeling which I

349
00:13:03.300 --> 00:13:09.360
think is a feeling that brings us joy

350
00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:10.860
and creativity and calmness

351
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.800
some of my favorite things in there in

352
00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:16.560
that room would be um

353
00:13:13.800 --> 00:13:19.620
Simpson stuff got a like an old Tupac

354
00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:22.440
toy uh Eminem toys

355
00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:23.940
I keep them all in the package

356
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.880
to just you know go and look at the

357
00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:30.779
dates that they released and I love um

358
00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:32.279
oh my goodness man I know I know

359
00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:34.139
yeah I don't know I like I like a lot of

360
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.060
stuff in that room what's the most

361
00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:37.860
talent that you've ever had on the court

362
00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:41.639
at one time and the custom basketball

363
00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:43.680
court at lyrical lemonade HQ oh man you

364
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:47.399

00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:49.860
Jack Harlow versus maxo cream looks like

366
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.540
that's my favorite moment and then you

367
00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:53.399
once said I'll never understand why

368
00:13:51.540 --> 00:13:55.680
people have a problem with Birkenstocks

369
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:57.360

370
00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:00.120

feel like you wanted to take another

511
00:20:06.840 --> 00:20:11.640
bite at the bomb you're like you got a

512
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:14.039

the bite yep

516
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:22.740
but it's not as bad as you think it

517
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.600
settles in hopefully it's not an eye of

518
00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:26.400
the storm situation you know where it

519
00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:28.380
comes back and builds but don't worry

520
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.370
because there's a nice long lead on this

521
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:31.520

00:20:29.370 --> 00:20:33.780

squeeze whatever energy you have left

527
00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:44.340

528
00:20:41.820 --> 00:20:47.580
