Transforming Imperfections into Art with Nanette
What happens when raw talent meets vulnerability on stage? Join us as we welcome the phenomenal artist Nanette, who steps in as our special guest co-host. Nanette shares the exhilarating experience of her recent acoustic set with Jesse Parks, where every note and nuance laid bare her vocal prowess. We explore the therapeutic essence of her music, which seamlessly blends singing and rapping to encapsulate deep emotions and personal stories. Nanette's unique approach turns imperfections into a powerful showcase of true artistry.
Shifting gears, we tackle the complexities of communication and accountability within relationships. We emphasize the transformative power of genuine apologies and taking responsibility for one's actions. Nanette adds her voice to a frank discussion about societal expectations and gender roles, shedding light on why women may find it harder to say "I'm sorry." This segment serves as a call to action for mutual understanding and the courage to confront unrealistic expectations with honesty and humility.
In our final chapters, we dive into the realities of the Chicago music scene, guided by Nanette's insightful perspectives. From navigating deceptive promoters to the importance of authentic connections, we cover it all. We stress the necessity of building a dedicated fan base over merely accumulating followers, emphasizing patience and authenticity as keys to long-term success. A heartfelt shout-out to contributors and supporters rounds out our conversation, encouraging everyone to spread love and stay true to themselves. Tune in for an episode packed with wisdom, real talk, and inspiration.

Speaker 1:That's some coffee house shit right there. We gonna run it back tonight.
Speaker 2:What's?
Speaker 1:the address.
Speaker 2:Tonight we are at Joe's Bar and Grill in Merrillville, indiana. Okay, beads birthday party. Oh, shout out to the homie beads. Okay, he's in town. So it's him, danny and their mom, miss pam, I can't, just, I just can't just say pam, but miss pam.

Speaker 2:Uh, it's all three of their birthdays, so they're having a bash and you know I'm just gonna perform. Yes, I'm just gonna do my acoustic set.
Speaker 1:I really like doing that, like I want to welcome people into my world so that's what I was about to ask you what's, what's the biggest difference with an acoustic set compared to?
Speaker 2:show tracks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean compared to just a guitar. You know what I'm saying well, acoustic is.
Speaker 2:Acoustic is what like as far as the feel Well they're both guitars, so like or you mean like electric.
Speaker 1:What I'm saying, like when you got like a track playing in the back compared to like a band.
Speaker 2:Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying Compared to like a full band to.
Speaker 2:Gotcha. Well, I think it's more bare. Okay, you only hear my vocals and you only hear him, that's it. So if one of us mess up, you hear it. So I think to me that shows the real talent, where we can strip everything off. You don't have background vocals, there's no sound, you know show tracks and anything like that.
Speaker 1:So right, um, um, my bad y'all. Oh okay, man, that kind of threw me off right there.
Speaker 2:Um, um, where you said it's, it's, it's more of a opportunity for people to hear if you you said mess, mess up, well like you could like if I mess up absolutely or like if I hit a wrong note or something you can hear that, but to me it shows more of my talent that's the part that I want to get to hear like oh, this bitch can actually sing and these songs are good for me, like yeah, and shit what I've come to realize not only can you sing, you can rap kind of hostile, kind of hostile.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:so um, I want to say hostile I just address aggressive I just address to me music is therapeutic that part, that part. I'm not an aggressive person. I don't fight. Yeah, I'm not doing that. So to me, I would rather communicate to you if I feel something, or I might just put it in my music of how I feel about something, because as humans, we all pretty much go through the same stuff. It might be be different levels but. Yeah, you know. So me telling people on the song shut the fuck up, fucking ugly duckling.
Speaker 1:Everybody now keeps saying that like fucking ugly duckling, I'm just saying, I mean, that's right up there with little ugly dude, where Now that's going to be the new thing little ugly duckling Everybody going to be getting called that shit. Um, but I think that shit is dope like. So when you do like, when you do go into the rapping portion, is there is is there a certain energy that you feel like you have to channel, compared to when you go into the singing portion of it?
Speaker 2:um, not necessarily. Uh, everything that I write has a meaning okay um. Every song that I have put out came from somewhere yeah, so I like that. Yeah, I like that a lot so I just kind of just jump into where I was at that point and tell your story like my.
Speaker 2:The other last wednesday I performed at um the wow hair and Felice shout out to her Determined Radio she loves that song, my song. Fuck you. I never performed that song really, so I was like you know, I'm just gonna perform it. I only performed it once like ever. And I was like I'm gonna perform it because I know she loves that song. And once I got off stage with it, everybody was like damn, like I feel like you need a hug, are you okay? Once I got off stage with it, everybody was like damn, like, I feel like like you need a hug, are you okay?
Speaker 1:You got that shit up.
Speaker 2:But it was. It was just. I want you to feel why I wrote that song.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And people you could like they was in there like yes, fuck him and that's off.
Speaker 1:That's off which album.
Speaker 2:Uh, that is, on my ep, a bad love story okay, yeah, I remember that, I remember that.
Speaker 1:I remember listening to that and I was just like well, where that motherfucker is. Yeah you probably can't call back oh no not at all damn um deceased um, let me ask you this question what you working on? Not? Not music wise, not project wise yourself.
Speaker 2:What are you working on? I am working on being more patient, okay, and more. I'm already an observant person, okay, but I'm learning to kind of not dive headfirst into anything, just kind of sit back and be patient with things so does that?
Speaker 1:does that apply to working relationships?
Speaker 2:everything, everything everything like patient with people. Um, I'm learning that we all have different brains, obviously, but sometimes people may not understand and you have to communicate differently with each person. So I'm learning patience with people. Um, so, if I say a certain thing to somebody, I can tell maybe by their face or body language they don't understand. So I'm like, okay, you're the type of person that now I have to filter it, maybe a different way to say it to you.
Speaker 2:So I'm learning that, like with my nephews, with just people in general, um, not even because I don't know, I just don't have the energy to just be so like ah you know right, yeah yeah it takes a lot out of you like I think now that people, I've had to learn something at some point.
Speaker 1:Yeah we all learn.
Speaker 2:So if somebody was patient with me, maybe that would have changed different outcomes with different things.
Speaker 1:So I'm just learning that so, speaking of being patient, durs has been patient with us because he's been saying going to break for a minute, so we're gonna go to break. Hey, yo shout out to all my niggas out there that have been saying go to break and the dumbass motherfucker who hosting it still steady, fucking talking, my bad y'all it's. I'm talking about myself, it's the podcast, it's the shit it's comedian marty p checking in from the Shits Podcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We are now back at the Shits Podcast and we're in here. We're kicking it with the Phenomenon Nanette.
Speaker 2:And hello motherfuckers.
Speaker 1:Hello motherfuckers. So we just got done, not done, but we were talking about music being therapy and off, and you know, during the break we was just talking about anything really being anything creative, anything that gives you the opportunity to get your energy out and get your feelings out, being creative. Let me ask you this how do you think because we talked about relationships early any kind of relationship? Think, because we talked about relationships early any kind of relationship? How do you think we can create healthy environments that promote honesty and transparency?
Speaker 1:how we can what how we can create healthy environments that promote honesty and transparency, whether it's in a business relationship, whether it's in a business relationship, whether it's in a personal relationship, whether it's your friends. How do you create that environment where people feel like I don't have to lie to you about shit?
Speaker 2:I think self-awareness.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:If everybody was kind of aware of things that they know they have to work on, then maybe they might be a little bit more honest with each other. I like that. I like that.
Speaker 1:So you knowing that you got some shit that you need to work on can help you create an environment that somebody else can feel like they can be honest with you.
Speaker 2:Maybe A lot of people lack self-accountability. So if you were like, aware of the things that you're doing, at least a little bit. You may not be aware of everything, no, but you're at least a little bit. You may not be aware of everything, no, but you're aware of the majority of the things that you do right, like you're aware, like you said oh hold on, we got a caller.
Speaker 1:Hold on what up. It's the shits podcast. It's your boy, monson. It's the ride, the coolest catch you heard thus far. Who is this? Hello? Hold on, it's your boy, my son.
Speaker 4:Starada Coolest.
Speaker 1:Catcher Heard Thus Far. Who is this? Hello, hold on, hold on, hold up, hello. Caller Hello yeah hey, this is the Shits Podcast.
Speaker 4:Who is this? This is Scott. I was trying to call Terry from Facebook facebook marketplace.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, scott, this is not terry from facebook marketplace um, this is just podcast oh well, well, shit, hello how's it going, scott?
Speaker 4:that's all right. I guess I'm gonna have to find uh someone else to sell me my, uh, my gently used underwear that I was gonna find on facebook marketplace. But I'll, I'll take right and get. I'm doing good, how are you?
Speaker 1:wait, wait, wait. What would you sell in scott?
Speaker 4:oh, I'm not selling. I was a guy named terry was selling some gently used underwear and you know, down on the luck, it hasn't been working much. So you know you got to take what you can get.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, I mean, I can't argue with this. I can't argue with this.
Speaker 4:Right, right, I mean yeah right. If it's free, it's me.
Speaker 1:But it kind of doesn't go in with the whole underwear thing. But that's a whole other story, scott right, right.
Speaker 4:So who is this and who did it? What is this?
Speaker 1:my name is monsoon man, I'm with the it's the shits podcast man, and so we was asking the question man was asking a question on the podcast, and the question is this Scott, how do you think we create healthy environments that promote honesty and transparency?
Speaker 4:well shit, I didn't know it was gonna be this deep straight off the requirements that promote honesty and transparency. Well shit, I didn't know it was going to be this deep straight off the diving board.
Speaker 1:Wow, I would say, first and foremost, you need a lot of open, honest conversation setting, setting clean, healthy boundaries. I would say repeat the question how do we create?
Speaker 3:healthy environments that promote.
Speaker 4:I think also, I think the strong ability to apologize and not apologize just to appease the other side, but apologize in a sense of actually speaking to the other side what you did wrong and taking accountability for it and not just doing it for the sake of ending an argument or ending a situation Um, I think that's really big cause. You know it like humbles everyone in the room when you're willing to take accountability and actually say, hey, I'm sorry for this. Um, I think, um, building upon commonalities and, um, you know what you like is that the other thing? But then also allowing space for the other person to allowing space for the other person to be different from those commonalities, and finding space within that, that setting um to allow those, those other um, those other personalities, those other things to come out and, uh, be okay with them, being with it.
Speaker 1:Wow, scott man. Thank you so much. Hey, I hope you find out that underway he was looking for it, man, um you know?
Speaker 4:yeah, I'm going to check the number. I was probably off by two, but you never know.
Speaker 1:Hey, scott man, thanks for calling man.
Speaker 4:No problem, man, Good luck. Yeah, you too buddy.
Speaker 1:Peace, bye. Wow, that was dope. I mean like he broke some shit down, like really really broke some shit down. So you like, and you said the whole thing about accountability as well just hold yourself accountable.
Speaker 1:Like yeah, nigga, this is why I did it. You know, I'm saying like, first of all, I think I think we need to tell ourself that because I think the worst person you could lie to is yourself. You know, I'm saying once you're honest with yourself, it's like you, I think you're able to kind of navigate relationships and situations a little bit better, because you can kind of say to yourself yeah, I was kind of fucked up for that, you know. Or I did it because of this, because of the space that I was in.
Speaker 2:He said apologize. A lot of people do not apologize for shit.
Speaker 1:So I'm glad you said that. All right, because.
Speaker 2:Because that means acknowledgement.
Speaker 1:So, barbershop talk, barbershop talk. The common theme is women don't apologize. They have pictures of me. Yeah, take your ass, take you, take you somewhere. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:That's a form of an apology, but it's not right.
Speaker 1:Why do you, if, if you agree with that, or if you did agree with that, why do you think it's difficult for let's just say, for argument's sake, right now for women, some women, to apologize?
Speaker 2:oh, I hate getting into these so much um clary miles want to know okay, all right, I think because women are taught bullshit um not realistic shit. So you have this happy wife, happy life thing like it's one-sided right you're in a marriage, why is just the wife happy? That's it, you know, like so that's why I hate talking about this, because I kind of go against what you just tell the truth right.
Speaker 2:Exactly more realistic like I think I'm realistic with things like a lot of things with women can be delusional, like gender roles. Oh, we're equal, we're equal. We are not equal, we're not let's just cut the shit.
Speaker 2:We're not equal. Um, if we're laying in bed, if me and you are a couple, we're in bed and I hear a more than not even just me and you let's just say couples in general. You hear somebody at the door banging or doing something. You're the woman is going to tell you the man to get up and go you're not gonna. Hey, girl, go get up and look who at the damn door right, you're not doing that more than likely that's true so let's cut the shit on that.
Speaker 2:If your house is burning down and there's a firefighter man and a woman, more than likely you're going to ask the man to save you. Wow, let's just be realistic here.
Speaker 1:I appreciate that.
Speaker 2:So, I kind of hate getting into those debates because it was like oh she, da, da da it's like you went against the code but it's like I'm just being realistic and not delusional like I said, I truly do.
Speaker 1:I appreciate it because I think that it takes that woman to step up and say be like, yeah, like you said, that's not really realistic. Like we're the man. You know what I'm saying. Like for a man to say no, motherfucker, that's not realistic. For a dude, you know what I'm saying. Like fuck what everybody was telling you. That's not realistic because that's not what we do. You see what I'm saying and that's not what we expect. You get what I'm saying. And sometimes I think people just, in a sense, they go with the flow because they feel like they have to. They don't want to get kicked out the gang if they say something different. But yeah, I think that. I think I don't necessarily want to say that men are always quick to apologize. It just seems like women are kind of like not as quick to apologize. Anyway, yo, just seems like women are kind of like not as quick to apologize.
Speaker 1:Anyway, yo we gotta take a break real quick. Shout out to our mom, shout out to everybody out there in relationships who don't mind apologizing for some shit that the other person did and expect for you to understand it. Sorry that your ass did that bullshit. It's just podcast y'all. It's the shit it's the shit.
Speaker 3:Zsa Zsa Smith. Zevin Heaven at gmailcom. Zevin Heaven at Instagram. Zevin Heaven Facebook. Zsa Zsa Smith. Facebook. Zsa Zsa Smith 20 Instagram. I have the cupcakes that you need.

Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We are now back at the Shits Podcast and we are here kicking it with the phenomenal Nanette who, uh, hi, hello, motherfuckers. She just gave y'all, she just gave all my dudes out there the code, the cheat code. Not to cheat, motherfucker, but the cheat code. Not to cheat motherfucker, but the cheat code. You know what I'm saying. When you trying to figure out why your woman will not apologize, or your sister or your auntie or the nieces or anything, they won't apologize, then that just broke it down to you. You know what I'm saying. Anyway, so, speaking on kind of like switching gears in this whole Chicago music scene, you definitely have a name, which I think is a name that you've earned. You know what I'm saying. I appreciate that. Yeah, I mean, I try not to bullshit people. You know what I'm saying. You are not the bill collector. I have no need to bullshit you.
Speaker 1:I'm the strength collector you know when them collectors start calling. He's not here right now, so you answering his cell phone mother, yeah, right, yeah, I am. He just left it down anyway, wrong number. When you start thinking about the ups and downs of the music scene and the entertainment scene in Chicago, what frustrates you the most?
Speaker 2:um, maybe the the lies. Um, people really try to play you like you were an idiot yeah, I don't like that and that's kind of like a pet peeve of mine just even in life like you don't fuck with me insult my intelligence like I hate it so much but, I'll look at you I mean I have the shades and I just look at you like okay, I'm gonna just play stupid too, because you want me to play stupid right got it duly noted now now I know how to deal with you going forward I mean I'll, I'll look at situations like that and it make me feel like there's definitely a silver lining in that, because it gave me all the info I need moving forward.
Speaker 1:I know not to fuck with you now you see what I'm saying. So if this was, if this was a minor transaction and you kind of fucked me on that, that kind of saved me from the major transaction.
Speaker 2:So yeah, you know everything happens for a reason um yeah, I look at how you treat other people too definitely that's a big thing for me. If you run a social media for everything, I'm like okay and you're telling me people business. When I just met you oh hours ago.
Speaker 1:I'm like damn I hate that shit. Like could you be thinking, like if you would tell me everything about this person?
Speaker 2:that's supposed to be your homie for years, right, I can't tell you shit, right?
Speaker 1:I can't show you none of the videos. Well, that's how I'm gonna start. When you start to think about, when you start to think about when you talk to people and you try to break shit down for people, when you try to get people to understand things, do you ever consider comprehension levels, like when you talk?
Speaker 2:to people, absolutely so. It's like man, I'm saying all this shit to this motherfucker and it's like ever consider comprehension levels like when you talk to people.
Speaker 1:Yeah absolutely, yeah, absolutely. So it's like man, I'm saying all this shit to this motherfucker and it's like he's a dumbass or she's a dumbass.
Speaker 2:I'm wasting my time. Well, I typically I I mean usually everybody who I surround myself around, usually smart people okay so I can just kind of say things, but if it's somebody, that is just random then yeah, I'll dumb it down damn and just get kind of straight to the point, but dumb it down so what does that look like?
Speaker 1:so I know, because I'm gonna go back and watch this fucking interview what the conversation is yeah everything just depends so when you speak to, when you speak to people that's in this Chicago music scene, without having this, of course, without having to say names like that, do you ever find yourself in those situations where you feel like damn, I gotta, I definitely gotta, dumb it down for this motherfucker right here, or you know?
Speaker 2:not necessarily. Damn, I definitely got to dumb it down for this motherfucker right here. Not necessarily because I kind of dumb it down for everybody I do. I don't know you Right, so I'm not going to use words that I would typically use with people that I'm more familiar with. So everybody gets a dumbed down version. Hi, hello, I'm the net stream. I shit, please and thank you. I doubt I did that to you Right when I first met you it's like your dumb ass.
Speaker 1:No, it's not that you're dumb.
Speaker 2:It's just, people are um. Their attention span is a little like all over the place.
Speaker 1:All over the place, really.
Speaker 2:So, if you want to kind of be more simple, use more simple words, bam, okay, I got it.
Speaker 1:So that's like a marketing thing for you.
Speaker 2:Maybe that's what it seem like.
Speaker 1:I mean, but I get it, when you networking and you moving in these rooms, you don't really have all the time in the world to be like let me sit here and break all this shit down to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean I get that part, I get that part, but I feel like the part that I wouldn't agree with is when that time comes for you to really have the opportunity where you can let people in you see what I'm saying and just really be like when you have those longer sets you know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:You can kind of use that time for those transitions and really get a chance to engage with the crowd and stuff like that. And sometimes I just kind of see like I don't really see that in a lot of performances. Yeah, you know, it's's like I did that yesterday. Okay, I should have told you to come out, but you didn't, but it's okay.
Speaker 2:It's okay, though, but tell them about the bone an hour set so it was just I was getting, yeah all the bones. Tell them about the bone concert um yeah, that's september 13th friday, that is in aurora at the piazza, okay so come through nine o'clock, I believe okay um, yeah, go buy your tickets or hit me up and stream my shit too, my shit and um come through and uh you know, see me perform at the bone thugs, so now I'm gonna put you on the spot.
Speaker 1:Okay, your favorite Bone Thugs and Harmony song. Don't say Crossroads.
Speaker 2:I'm going to say I like the one with Biggie. I like that song.
Speaker 1:Biggie, biggie, biggie, it's Bone and Biggie it's Bone and Biggie. Listen I it's.
Speaker 4:Bone and Biggie, biggie, it's Bone and Biggie Listen.
Speaker 1:I don't see. And when I put this out there, you motherfuckers is lying. If you disagree, I feel like anybody that listen to that Bone and Biggie song and you can put your motherfucker here like this it's Bone and Biggie, biggie, it's Bone and Biggie, biggie, bone, bone, bone, bone. Like when you listen to bone you just, in my opinion, if you really listening to it and getting to it, you don't just sit still. You see what I'm saying, like you gotta it's the head movement anyway, that's just me.
Speaker 1:Is there any record or any album that you listen to? And it's definitely hard for you to sit still like you can't, like you just can't. You have to move, like even if, even if you tired as fuck, like you have to move um, hmm, I mean everything really.
Speaker 2:I listen to vocalists, though. I like to listen to people that can sing who your favorite vocalist, though I like to listen to people that can sing.
Speaker 1:Who your?
Speaker 2:favorite vocalist you can say yourself if you want to no, that's really tough cause I like a lot of people like I like or love rather Patti LaBelle. I love her vocals. I love Jasmine Sullivan vocals jasmine is dope.
Speaker 1:She's a good songwriter too I do like ariana grande.
Speaker 2:I think the little white girl could sing and tori kelly, like she could sing.
Speaker 1:I'm not familiar with tori kelly um. Whitney definitely pre-Bobby, post-bobby all Whitney do you think it was a difference between pre-Bobby and post-Bobby?
Speaker 2:well, vocally I mean maybe music wise song selection, you mean. I mean we got something in common and shit change when you go through stuff like this hey, but but to me? I listen to that song like Mary, like listening to her come on like the life of you can hear the hurt.

Speaker 2:Just put both of those songs together and basically just it's about me versus myself as far as competition. Okay. I don't think about other people. I don't care about what you're doing Like I'm a supportive person.
Speaker 1:Right you are, I give you that. That's about what you're doing. Like I'm a supportive person. Right you are, I'll give you that. That that's. That's another thing that I have grown to know and appreciate about you, uh, since knowing that you do support motherfuckers, uh, you'll be out there I feel like I don't have to dim your light, like we can just have a bright ass fucking room, like, as that's really weird to me when people get like that so when you hating on me, I'm like that's a you problem then because I'm not hating on you.
Speaker 2:If you're performing, I literally sit there front row and record a lot of people, yeah and give them footage and shit.
Speaker 4:You know like, leave me alone, get off my shit, just let me do my music and have.
Speaker 2:I'm in my own lane. Yeah, what is you what? What you do is what you do. I'm in my own lane, yeah, be you. What you do is what you do. Am I doing it for me?
Speaker 1:Dang. That's a great motto to have. Unfortunately, everybody don't have that.
Speaker 2:Right, correct, that's what I said in the song why you worried about me, how you? Gonna eat looking at my plate Because I'm gonna eat.
Speaker 1:Worry about why you ain't got no music out the fuck I was thinking about. But I was kind of thinking about that comparison, like I could eat and still look at another motherfucker's plate, like when I was young. I used to always do that shit, though.
Speaker 2:Anyway, yeah, you can, but I get where you're going with it. If you're looking at something, what if a fly on the damn food? Then what now? Because you're looking at me, now you're eating flies.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, now you're eating a fly. So, yeah, don't focus on what I'm eating, because a fly can fall in your mouth or a fly can get in your food, like nigga. Focus on your plate.
Speaker 2:I get, you I get it Somebody roofie your plate because you looking at somebody. Oh man.
Speaker 1:Shit, you got to watch out for the roofies. Oh Lord, when you start to think about because you said you go out and you support motherfuckers and you don't focus on other people, You're just focusing yourself. You focus on your future and you don't focus on other people, you're just focusing yourself. You focus on your future, Thinking about how the past affects your future, you get what I'm saying no-transcript when you write your stuff, like how much does the past really affect everything that you that you coming up with, Like content wise, like do you really really go back and you really tap it, Like really really try to tap into that shit, or is it some shit that you'd be like you know what? I ain't gonna fuck with that. That was too much what do you mean?
Speaker 1:Like experiences. When you start thinking about experiences, your life, the past how much of that do you let affect your writing? How much of that do you let affect the way you interact with people?
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't, I just write about it. I kind of write about it in the moment or freestyle it in the moment In my phone, in my voice memos. I just if I feel something or I hear a song, I'll sing it yeah and then it might become something later. Um, that's how both my projects became, that I was just hearing the songs and singing it. Um, so for me I just kind of let it out anyway and that's it, but it doesn't. I'm not gonna treat other people differently because of someone else.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Or treat you differently because I'm going through something.
Speaker 1:no, so do you think it's ever been a situation where it was things that triggered something, like somebody did some shit and you was? Just like, oh you reminded me of a motherfucker or a person that I really dislike.
Speaker 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:No, I don't think so, I just kind of no. I don't think so I just kind of see who you are as a person.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean that's commendable.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. It's definitely something that you need to have, especially, I think, with the music industry, and most definitely with Chicago's music industry, because, like you said, it's some motherfuckers. That just ain't who they say they are. You know what I'm saying? Oh, absolutely as much. As as much as they try to preach it to.
Speaker 2:You see that right like if you ask questions yeah you may get the right answer that you're looking for you hope so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you hope so.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm a firm but you can tell too by people, body language and what not that's the second time I heard you speak about that. I'm a very observant person, like when I first came out. People were, you know, on me like piranhas, because it's fresh meat. You know how they get with new artists, it's a shame that dudes be like that.
Speaker 1:Oh not, I wasn't talking about the dudes. Fresh meat, you know how they get with new artists. Yes, it's a shame that dudes be like that. Go ahead.
Speaker 2:Oh well, I wasn't talking about the dudes, I was just saying the people the stanky promoters that all pay $200 just to sit here and do nothing and that type of shit. Or, oh man, like let me be your manager, and because now you're seeing the talent.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Stuff like that.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 2:I'm like, okay, what would benefit me from being with you, right? You see your numbers of these artists that you have from before they came with you to now, and you can never show me any type of nothing. You know I just ask the right questions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you observe, um, I really it's really interesting to me that, like I said, you spoke about the whole body language thing, because I think that I think that that's something people don't really pick up on nowadays and it's like when you do, I feel like.
Speaker 1:I should have some music playing in the background. You said that shit. But I think that that shit is important. You know what I'm saying because it can kind of tell you a lot without a motherfucker saying too much like cause you, just pee. And I'm a firm believer that people will show you who they are before they tell you. You know what they show you is more accurate again, than what they tell you what they show you?
Speaker 1:yeah, and based off of some of the shit that I've seen, well, some shit that I've heard, I'm like yeah, man, I'm gonna pass on that uh opportunity right there, buddy, you know uh who do you?
Speaker 2:really look forward to working with whether it be local or period um, I mean, I kind of want to work with I mean a lot of people. Okay, I'm excited to put out my song with Shawna, that's dope.
Speaker 1:How did that happen?
Speaker 2:So she had a show like a competition. Um, her and c snapper and snap hit me up and was like hey, it's this competition. I'm like uh, no, I don't do competition because y'all be rigging shit. Like come on now. Like no, that part. She was like no, no, no. I you know, you should really do it. Sha Shauna is looking to see and whoever is the winner, they get a feature with her and some other shit and the week of.
Speaker 2:I was just like no, I don't think I'm going to do it. She was like you'll stand out. Because I started seeing all the flyers of the people on it. I'm like everybody is rap and she's hip hop and she was like no, no, like no, no. I think you might have an advantage because you're R&B oh my god fuck it. So I did. Then I said she was screaming like I was, like she didn't scream on nobody else's set yeah sounds like oh shit, okay okay, maybe I win but Jessica black was in it too and Jessica is cold.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like, okay, it's between me and jess, because, look, I'm a, if you're talented, you're talented. Yeah, and jessica killed that shit. But I had walked past shana table and she was just like, oh my god, I really want to work with you yada yada yada. She gave me her number. I still didn't win the competition because jessica won, as she should. Yeah but that's very commendable with me and was just like, yeah, let's do it, let's still work.
Speaker 3:And I was like okay, I don't care about.
Speaker 2:I mean, I still want. So we both want.
Speaker 1:It's like Crush Groove Damn. New Edition won, but the Fat Boys got anyway, it's fuck it man. That's old school shit. I'm sorry, hey, y'all, we gotta take a break real quick and man shout out to all the motherfuckers out there that actually knew what the fuck I was talking about when I stopped talking about Crush, groove and Fat Boys and no Edition and it was just like three motherfuckers.

This was literally a two hour ago, uh, booking, literally.

You know, maybe further down the line I won't get the dumb ass conversation. It'll be the higher up conversation.

Speaker 4:I like his music and he was just like who wrote this I said me the fuck he was like okay, okay, he was like.
Speaker 2:I really want to hear rap Nanette and singing Nanette on the same song, so that was like one of our last texts. I let him hear the song before I even released it.
Speaker 1:He made it happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he pushed you, he pushed you yeah it was a lot of stuff we were supposed to do. You know some songs too, but but shout out to him.
Speaker 1:Shout out rest in peace.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Um, I'm gonna leave y'all with this. Um, don't be too. I don't know who, neither it is.
Speaker 1:Uh, don't be too quick to think you're not being influenced by something. Whether you know it or not, we are being influenced by something, whether it's positive or negative. Uh, the trick is for you to recognize that you are being influenced and how it affects the decisions that you make. Real talk, uh, unless you're just a person that just stay in the house, don't listen to any kind of music, don't watch any kind of tv, don't read any kind of book, you just literally just sit in the house, you are being influenced by something you know. So just realize what you're being influenced by and acknowledge it. I mean, mean, does it help you, you know? Is it helping you move forward or is it causing you to regress? You got to be honest with yourself. Like Nanette said earlier, be accountable, take ownership, be accountable for your actions.
