sounded like people labeled her a female
- 0:26
DMX and she's affiliated with Ruff

- 1:07
you're you're an interesting person got
- 1:09
it
- 1:10
okay but um so then she started doing
- 1:13
freestyles and the conversation about
- 1:16
listen she's not a bad rapper start here
- 1:19
she's not a bad
- 1:20
rapper but in every video every
- 1:23
freestyle video she puts out there's
- 1:25
some wild [ __ ] going on in the
- 1:26
background which is like it's almost
- 1:28
like I personally I don't like what like
- 1:31
[ __ ] blowing up behind one of them got a
- 1:34
fe tweaking out old lady I'm just he
- 1:37
said crazy [ __ ] going on behind her one
- 1:39
of them there's a fiend in the
- 1:41
background twak the hell out another one
- 1:44
there's a ampute te in there going crazy
- 1:47
to to the to the freestyle another one
- 1:49
she has a girl wearing all white bending
- 1:51
over with a red stain right in the
- 1:52
middle between her legs she she's trying
- 1:54
to she's trying toen she's trying to
- 1:56
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
- 2:06
you're ACT people are yeah you're
- 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
- 4:24

- 5:04

- 5:07

- 5:10

- 5:11
video doing all this
- 5:14
[ __ ] that was when you when you that was
- 5:17
kind of funny when you have a certain
- 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

- 5:47

- 5:50

- 6:06
[ __ ] is nasty are you crazy what
- 6:09
there's nothing wrong with her she's
- 6:10
very nice and beautiful no there's
- 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
