It ain't finna out.
I understand who you is and all the stuff you done done in the past, but you ain't finna use my stuff, dog.
Brother, let me tell you something.
Anything I ever got in my life in 20 years of recording, I don't know how you got my number, who you are, you know, who you're supposed to be representing, but anything I do is always straight up.
We do our music ourselves, or if a producer I'm using, he does his thing, I pay him or do whatever I gotta do.
You calling me.
I don't even know who you are, but you need to calm down your blood pressure if you want to continue this conversation where we can get to some kind of figuring out of who you are and what you're talking about.
So you're gonna yell at me and try to do that.
I don't I don't go for yelling and intimidation.
I ain't one of these young dudes out here.
So if you don't bring your blood pressure down, then I'm gonna have a problem.
My blood pressure will go up, and then we'll have a real, real problem.
Do you feel what I'm saying, D?
I understand everything that you're saying to me.
All I'm saying is, I know I I know my music when I hear, and I think your boy Cal then took my music from me.
Now, if you the the the the the stuff you got on if you was mine, all that's mine.
Ain't nobody tripping with y'all.
On what you do.
I'm just trying to tell you.
You said all that stuff is mine.
What do you talk about?
Those are my lyrics on there, Playboy.
You don't write no lyrics for me.
What are you crazy?
No, I don't know.
You sound like one of them Keebla elf cats from the village.
You don't nobody touch my lyrics, B.
You saying all that stuff is yours?
I'm not I ain't talking about the mu the lyrics.
I'm talking about the music itself.
That's what I'm talking about.
The lyrics I don't know nothing about.
That might be you.
But I'm just trying to let you know about the music.
That belonged to me.
Hold on, convert that mic that you got there.
Might be me.
Convert the mic.
Ain't no mic.
The music is mine.
Let's get that out there now.
The music on this song you got, if you was mine, that's my music.
Brother, you ain't Bobby Womac.
How can it be your music?
The interpolation of the music was from Bobby Womack.
Hey, brother.
Now I don't know if you the one that stole my music.
I don't know if it was your boy Cal who called himself DJ Rexha, whoever he called himself.
All I'm trying to let you know is this music belonged to me.
Alright, so what do you want to do?
You want to meet me on the street somewhere and then you can handle it the way you want to handle it with me?
You want to handle it that way?
You ain't saying nothing to me, man.
You ain't saying this.
What are you saying me, brother?
You sound like one of them kids who gets his rectum manipulated by one of them Keebla elves in the village.
You don't fear me.
Did you just say something about my rectum?
Hold up, B.
You don't talk you You don't talk about my We gon' we will meet if you keep talking about my You don't bring my r up on nothing.
You don't nothing, B.
You ain't nothing.
If you want to talk as men, then we sit down and we talk as men.
Because I don't know what you're talking about.
But if you're coming up there throwing my name in the middle of thievery, then I got a problem with that, B.
And I'll handle it with you.
I'm not no youngin'.
I don't make records.
I ain't gonna dish you on record.
I'm gonna come see you so we can sit down eye to eye and we get down to what it is.
Hey man, all I'm saying is I got a problem with it.
And the and the bigger problem I got at this point now is for you to tell me, do I want to meet you on the street somewhere?
And you know what?
I ain't got no problem with that.
You know what I mean?
Where do you want me to see you now?
You know what your problem is, man?
Your problem is is that you ain't get as successful as Heavy D.
You didn't do what Biggie what Biggie Smalls did.
That's your problem, man.
That's what I have no problem with that.
Those are incredible artists who have done all kinds of beautiful things in music.
I have done my thing in music.
All of those things that you're trying to get me to go past the line of sensibility, that goes to youngins.
Now, like I said before, forget about that.
What I said earlier stands, brother.
When you want to see me, I don't care why you want to meet that.
How about I got a better idea for you?
I'm doing a club date in Jacksonville, Florida, March 18th, brother.
That's right.
You can come my guest and come see me personally.
And make sure you come with this vigor, though.
Come with this vigor.
Vic, you don't have to know your body.
You're gonna quit using these big words.
What is this?
No, no, no, brother, brother.
This ain't no big word.
You're gonna use but you're gonna come there with this attitude.
You ain't gonna see no bodyguard there.
You feel me?
All I'm saying to you is the music belongs to me.
That's what I'm saying to you, man.
That's all I'm saying to you.
And whoever your boy ever didn't swipe my music, laid it under you, and you done put some tracks on top of it.
Ain't right, though.
Brother, let me tell you something.
The guy is a guy of incredible integrity.
You keep saying integrity.
It's the truth, brother.
It's the truth.
I mean, I'm sorry, man.
I mean, it's clear that you're upset, and I'm sorry that you're upset.
Look, can you bring all of that?
Forget all of that.
Forget everything we talking about right now.
I want you to know this.
Can I tell you something else?
You yelling again?
Can I say something else to you?
Can you say it calmly?
I can.
You can?
