    combine balls with content Creation with

  • 1:59

    catering to audience to get more eyes on

  • 2:01

    her to listen to her music that's what

  • 2:04

    she's doing it's not working because

  • 2:08

    getting eyes if that's all you care

  • 2:10

    about you're going to get the eyes

  • 2:11

    that's all they care about today yeah

  • 2:12

    real

  • 2:13

    talk it

  • 2:16

    translates you're able to get you're

  • 2:18

    able to get a situation that deals if

  • 2:19

    you're able to show numbers and

  • 2:21

    engagement on your social media that

  • 2:22

    translates to profit it does okay well

  • 2:26

    that's the goal but you said she's

  • 2:27

    trying

  • 2:28

    to like put the the content [ __ ] up

  • 2:31

    there and then slip the bars hopefully

  • 2:33

    people listen no one's listening for the

  • 2:34

    bars when they see these videos they are

  • 2:36

    you reading the I don't know I mean

  • 2:38

    outside of the people in New York that

  • 2:40

    like her that are saying hey she's dope

  • 2:42

    they're saying that about everything hey

  • 2:43

    she can she can actually rap like I just

  • 2:45

    I started with saying she can rap you

  • 2:48

    did what's happening is you're putting

  • 2:50

    these videos out and it's taking away

  • 2:51

    from your rap ability it is nobody's

  • 2:53

    focusing on your bars in any of these

  • 2:55

    videos who to blame though do we blame

  • 2:57

    that we do we blame the consuma do we BL

  • 2:59

    blame the label we can't blame her she's

  • 3:01

    just trying to figure her way out figure

  • 3:03

    it out like she had a she had a record

  • 3:04

    that was locally known like you said and

  • 3:07

    then now even that heyy let's start with

  • 3:08

    that record what attract people to that

  • 3:11

    record the hard was it her bars or was

  • 3:13

    it oh [ __ ] she sounds like female DMX

  • 3:16

    whatever it is then you hit a then you

  • 3:19

    you know Swiss come along then you hit a

  • 3:22

    you you may be stagnant so you got to

  • 3:24

    figure it out because in order for them

  • 3:26

    to keep investing in you you have to

  • 3:27

    show some sort of popularity or people

  • 3:29

    want to watch you we know this as in any

  • 3:32

    business and a lot of times you you can

  • 3:33

    take you can take a chance

  • 3:36

    or you can show results so do you think

  • 3:40

    this is a good chance that she's taken

  • 3:42

    here do you think that this works

  • 3:44

    putting no but I agree with flip that it

  • 3:46

    probably isn't her fault no I'm not I'm

  • 3:48

    not I don't know who to blame it could

  • 3:50

    be the the her whoever BL all of y'all

  • 3:53

    that was taking pictures with her when

  • 3:55

    she had her popping record out yeah all

  • 3:58

    of y'all she signed heavyweights I think

  • 4:00

    Mona is involved in that like you said

  • 4:03

    Swiss it's your job to go find the

  • 4:05

    record yeah and and as an artist it's

  • 4:08

    your job to figure out you and your

  • 4:11

    team's job to figure out what your brand

  • 4:13

    is and how you Market that which I think

  • 4:16

    is what she's trying to do with this

  • 4:17

    they keep trying to make her be cute

  • 4:19

    they keep taking her the Jimmy Jazz no

  • 4:22

    that's not no for real they taking her

  • 4:38

    that that's

  • 4:39

    nasty I know but

  • 4:43

    stop to go

  • 4:47

    to he a fool yeah they keep taking it to

  • 4:51

  • 5:18

    look right when you have a certain look

  • 5:20

    and shout out to Scarlet man her story

  • 5:22

    is amazing she's

  • 5:24

    beautiful they're trying to see how what

  • 5:27

    would make the audience

  • 5:30

    grab on to her or you know what how can

  • 5:32

    she attract the audience the industry

  • 5:34

    ain't figured out how to make women pop

  • 5:36

    without sexualizing them and you and

  • 5:39

    then if you try to sexualize her that

  • 5:41

    ain't it's not going to work they tried

  • 5:43

    to do some [ __ ] when she was like bu bum

  • 5:45

  • 6:11

    nothing wrong with her that's what I'm

  • 6:12

    saying what I'm just saying but they're

  • 6:13

    trying to sexualize Scarlet like come on

  • 6:16

    man yeah I think I think that's I think

  • 6:17

    that's a wrong angle and I think that

  • 6:18

    when you watch glorilla sexy red and you

  • 6:21

    see how they're popping you try to

  • 6:23

    figure out how can we integrate this

  • 6:24

    into that to integrate her into that

  • 6:26

    field fiend

  • 6:30

    yo that was what was stuck out the book

  • 6:33

    they call stop fiend and

  • 6:37

    crackheads that's crazy now she ain't

  • 6:39

    the first one to put fiends and

  • 6:40

    crackheads in the video exactly but I

  • 6:43

    mean she highlighted them different

  • 6:45

    that's there you go she

  • 6:47

    highlighted shorty with the all white

  • 6:49

    come on do you think they're making a

  • 6:50

    mockery of her a mockery of of people do

  • 6:52

    do you think that scarp is put there you

  • 6:55

    think by doing that it makes us par back

  • 6:58

    to the parody [ __ ] that we just talked

  • 6:59

    about

  • 7:00

    yeah but if you love music like I do and

  • 7:03

    you understand that it ain't black

  • 7:05

    people running these companies when they

  • 7:07

    Trot black people out and the tricks

  • 7:09

    that they tried to attract us to [ __ ] be

  • 7:13

    offensive I can see that yeah the [ __ ]

  • 7:16

    with the red sell me her without the

  • 7:18

    crackheads I agree you don't need it to

  • 7:20

    attract black people the amputees the

  • 7:23

    the fake arrest video like think more of

  • 7:27

    us than that her story is is worth more

  • 7:30

    than that our opinion is worth more than

  • 7:32

    that oh my God it's sicking but I ain't

  • 7:35

    I ain't going to race it out I ain't

  • 7:36

    going to race this out that one's just

  • 7:39

    crazy to me more so honestly to me it's

  • 7:41

    because just the people that's involved

  • 7:43

    with her if I was if I that's why it's

  • 7:46

    like Swiss is involved I I would have

  • 7:49

    her do some freestyles on classic Swiss

  • 7:52

    beats have him in the video remaking the

  • 7:54

    beat or something like that to like oh
