Bismillahi r-Rahman r-Rahim and As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone. Good to see all of you and we are back with moving forward in the context of the importance of the shareholder, the rights of the shareholder and what the shareholder can or cannot do and how the shareholder tends to influence the organization. We were looking at fundamentally the stakeholders and their context, but in the stakeholders the primary stakeholder is the shareholder because they are the ones who are doing the investment. Now, in the past 20-25 years we have seen that there has been a flux of activity. We have seen different forms of activism from extremism towards fundamental labor rights from feminism to transgender rights. We have seen how corporatization has totally changed, how the influence of government, the social sector and the private sector has been rearranged and recalibrated and realigned and there has been this flux of activity and more so since COVID-19 the whole dynamics has absolutely been transformed. Now, a very interesting topic, a recent topic and an interesting topic is shareholder activism. Now, this seems quite amazing because when we are talking about the shareholder and what type of activism are we talking about, but in the modern world where the contextualization of organizations has become global, where different laws and different frameworks are applicable, where top management is amalgamated and engulfed in so many different activities, the concern and the rights of the shareholder sometimes become overshadowed. And that is why we see, ladies and gentlemen, that it becomes important that there is also shareholder activism so that they can protect their rights, they can protect the organization and they can ensure that the organization does not swing or go towards self-analysing or self-destruction or it gets indulged in any corrupt practices or any inappropriate actions. All of this is very, very important and many times when the top management is not listening to the shareholder then the shareholder has to indulge in shareholder activism. So, let us look at shareholder activism in a more structured way. So, shareholder activism is a way in which the shareholders can influence a corporation's behavior by exercising their rights as owners, they sometimes use their rights as a shareholder of a publicly traded corporation to bring about social change. So, just like I was mentioning, it is not all about finances, it could be also about social change, it could be about good governance, it could be about better management systems and better processes. So, all of that is there with the shareholder. Now, it could be related to issues of the environment, investments in politically sensitive parts of the world and worker rights. So, the shareholder through his or her activism can tend to support any of these causes. The term is also referred to investors who believe that a company's management is doing a bad job. So, that is also very important that if the current management is not working well then the shareholders and the investors have to come into play to ensure that all that wrongdoing is curtailed. The shareholders in general have the following power to attend meetings of shareholders and exercise voting rights either personally or through proxy to transfer shares, to receive dividend when declared to elect directors. They also have the right to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of the company, to have right shares and bonus shares, to apply to a tribunal or tribunals, to file class action suits in the high court, to file a suit in case of any misleading statements in the prospectus. So, as you can see over here there are so many things that the shareholder can do and the shareholder is not a mere puppet who is just sitting on the sidelines waiting to get some profits but is actually enabled and also empowered to take many actions against the management or the board to ensure that the company operates in a better way and is taking care of the different rights of all of the stakeholders. The board of directors of the company shall be entitled to exercise all such powers and do all such acts as the company is authorized to do to issue securities including debentures to invest the funds of the company to grant loans or give grantee or provide security in respect of loans to approve the financial statement and the board's report to borrow money. So, again the board also can be involved in different activism and represent the shareholder in a better way and that is what we see has been emerging as a form of shareholder activism. The board of director of a company shall be entitled to exercise all such powers and do all such acts as the company is authorized to do to diversify the business of the company to a point and remove key managerial personnel. Now, these are two major dimensions and dynamics of the board of directors. They can diversify the business of the company which we have seen in the case of Angro. I mean look at how Angro diversified into Angro foods and that was a total raw diversification. We also saw it in the context of Pakistan Tobacco Company. They also went into the food business and came out with their own oil. We have seen how technology companies, they tend to diversify and come into manufacturing. We have seen it with Apple, we have seen it with Microsoft, we have seen it with different telecom service providers and manufacturers. We have seen so many examples of diversification which tend to take place. We have seen how textile groups come into energy and vice versa. So all of these are diversification which comes to the board of director. And then a very important thing is to ensure corporate governance or good governance. They can either a point or remove key managerial personnel and in that case they can tend to guide and in most cases also ensure a particular journey of the organization towards a particular objective. So what we see is that they will also point internal auditors, approve quarterly, half yearly and annual financial statements, accept all the new public deposits and authorize back by of the security. So all of these additional things are also done by the board and what we see ladies and gentlemen is that the shareholder is not a mayor spectator. He or she has immense responsibilities and immense authority also whereby he or she can affect the existence and the growth of the company. And similarly the board of directors to a larger extent even beyond the shareholder have their own responsibilities and through different tools and through different stipulates and through different legal lacunas and legal specifications they can influence the company to go in a particular direction or they can stop the company from indulging in different negative activities and can change the board, appoint a new board and move forward with all of that and that is what shareholder activism is all about. Thank you.

What was going on in those times? Because this was what? These were the 90s? Yeah. I mean, I mean, I think that- Like the 90s to the 2000s, 2005? Yeah. What was going on from 99, 2005, 2006? I mean, Clif was, Clif really a jungle. I mean, it's like any other hood, you know?  You know what I'm saying? And Clif is the Mecca of Dallas. If you ask me, it's the Mecca. You know what I'm saying?  You know what I'm saying? So, you got to understand, we made it that way, though. Like, we stepping it that way. Everybody say, hey, man, y'all always running around saying, oh, Clif, America and all this, like, we making it that way. We want it to be stamped that way.  You hear zone four. You know what I'm saying? In Dallas, when you come to Dallas, we want you to hear, oh, Clif. And they do. You know what I'm saying? And they do. You can't come up here. And as soon as I take one of these cats to old Clif, they be like, man, we in old Clif. Yeah. Like, these niggas, you got these niggas. He ain't got these niggas feeling some type of way when they come to the D. I mean, it's just, it's our home. It's our sanctuary. You know, we're going to protect it at all costs. Yeah. I said, um, when, when my son called me, cause shout out to Trey, man. Trey called me like, man, dad, you got to, you got to interview this guy right here. I say, who is he, man? A E.D.J. Trap. I said, well, I got to do another DJ. I did DJ, uh, go DJ fresh frost. Yeah. I did. I did all these DJ who I met DJ with and did man. Even K. Yeah. K. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're blessing the city. Ain't nobody else doing that. I don't know. You're right. And if y'all started niggas, y'all copied me, but it's cool though, man. If you want to bless somebody, that's dope. You know what I mean? Just to try to tell somebody, you know, we don't want to just wait until you die, but we're going to give you roses while you're here. So that's what we do here. Recognize the hard work while you're on. Yeah. Yeah. You guys are killing it. Y'all out there. You look what y'all going through to try to get, you know, everybody recognized in the city. Like you just said about old Cliff, that DJ had to play those song, old Cliff. That's my hood. Yeah. And it's going on the new remix of that as well and a new remake of that. You know what I'm saying? That that's where you come in. You know what I'm saying? So where'd you go to high school at? I went to a couple of high schools. Like I moved around. I went to Lake Highlands. I went to North Garland. I went to Lake View Centennial. I went to SOC. Damn, what? I went to, yeah. You played football. And then I played basketball. Why are you so much? I mean, it was just the situation that I had going on.  You know what I'm saying? Why were you rebellious?  I just wanted to go do what I wanted to do and see my friends do. So when I was coming up in high school, you know, a lot of times she would be like, okay, you need to go stay over there with your cousins, your male cousins because you're doing too much over here. So now I'm at this school and they stay way over here in Garland. So now I got to go to no Garland. I get kicked out of that school for fighting and getting into it. So now I got to go to Lake Highlands. You know what I'm saying?  Now I got to go back to SOC. You know what I'm saying? So that's how I really moved around. Where was your dad during all this time? My dad was in the Navy for 22 years. Oh, and she didn't want to move out there with him? I don't know. I couldn't answer that question. That wasn't together, but I don't think if she did, she would have did it. You know what I'm saying? But he was in Norfolk, Virginia. I actually stayed with him. I went to Norfolk, Virginia and went to Norview High School for one semester. Wow. You couldn't deal with the way how he was straight. It was just different. I wasn't used to it. I was used to it. I wanted to be in Dallas. I wanted to be in the hood. I wanted to be in the streets. So it was like, nah, I can't stay out here. I don't know nobody out here. And he wasn't the type of father that would say, you ain't leaving nor you ain't got no chance. I mean, he did.  And I had a strong mind at a young age, so I knew what I wanted to do. So I was like, okay, you could tell me this. But on the other hand, I'm about to figure out a way for it to go my way that I wanted to be. How old were you at that time when you were living out there? When I was living out there? I was what, 16? Okay. 15, 16? You thought you wanted to go out there? Yeah. I thought I did. I was like, I'm gonna live with your daddy. I'm like, yeah, I go live with my daddy. Why not? Check it out. Did you have a good relationship on him? I mean, it was cool. It was cool. I wouldn't just say it was a good relationship because my whole life I lived with my mama. So when I started living with my daddy for that little one semester, it was almost like, man, I don't even know you like that. Like, you know, I knew that was my daddy. I knew who my daddy is. I still know him to this day, but I just never had a real, real good relationship with him. What do you think that affected you? Do you think looking back on your life now, do you think that if you had stayed and has dealt with it, that your life would be different? That's really a good question. I think it would. I think it would because I wouldn't have gotten into a lot of trouble that I got into in Dallas. You know, when you're in Dallas and you know what everybody doing and you know how to get to what you need to get to in the streets, you got the access to it. So you're gonna do it. You know, what you're saying, that's familiarity. But at the same time, if you go and get in trouble, because I know people who no matter where they moved to, they find that trouble. Right. See, I didn't get in no trouble in Virginia, though. None. I could say that. You know what I'm saying? I didn't get in no trouble in Virginia, like, because I just didn't know nobody. I wasn't out there trying to, you know, run around because I don't know them. I'm not gonna hang with some dudes. I don't know.  Like, I don't want to be making. I don't know y'all. Do you have kids right now? Yeah, I got kids. Do you think that not having that bond, do you have any boys? Yeah, I got two boys.  For sure. How? For sure. Because the way I handle them, they'll never not know me. You know what I'm saying? Like, my kids, I signed every birth certificate, I've seen every one of them come out. I never lose a relationship with my kids because of my daddy. That's a good point. You know what I'm saying? Like, I never do that. I don't care if I gotta drive 3,000 miles to go see them every day.  You know what I'm saying? Kids value stuff like that.  We never had a conversation like that. We for to grow you. We for to stretch it. I'm gonna tell you. You can ask me whatever. And you could. And we never had a conversation like that. You know that, right? Yeah, it would. It also makes, because how I believe is that once you still here on this earth, you have room for growth no matter how old you are. Right. You never know that he might not even be looking at it as a certain way. Yeah. He could want to ask you, but then scared to ask you. Right. Or his dad could have been the same way with him. Right. So this is what somewhere you can break something that's been going on for a long time. Right. And I think a lot of times people don't look at it from that perspective. They always looking at it from a, dang, he did that to me. Right.  You see what I'm saying? He got tired of fooling with it. That's exactly how I look at it. That's how I look at it. And I just, you know, I'm so busy now with doing so much in my career and what I'm doing is like, I don't even have time to revisit that. Which I do, I can make the time, but I don't even think about making the time.   And to me, that is number one, more than your career, more than anything else. Because things that happen in our lives, that's why a lot of times some people say we're still suffering from slavery mentality. Right. Because that happened how many years, decades ago, but we're still being affected by it. It comes down in our genes. So seeing, say example, you and your dad get back together and you all bond, your kids seeing all of that, that can help them move forward with a lot of... And their kids. And their kids. And grandkids. So a lot of times I say this world is, I say it's a devil. The devil makes us so busy with creating money for our family. We want to work so hard to make sure we leave something for our family. Right. That sometimes the most precious thing we can leave them is memories and lessons. Not always. Right. You know, because when you work so much, they say, oh, daddy work a lot. That's what he does. Because he provides for us. That's what he does. Right. It's everything that they learn. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's so much, it's called balance. Okay. That's all we say. Balance. It got to be some balance in there. Yeah. You know, so when you... And did we get it all? Or we still need... I was just talking... Did we need to dig some more? From experiences too. We can dig some more and try to figure out what happened. No, you can go. Okay. All right. We're going to let him make it then. We're going to let him make it. No, but... No, the thing I look at is, man, the music scene in Oak Cliff, I've always been banging, man. A lot of times people... How did you end up getting into music? I'm going to tell you the truth.  That's my guy. Fresh is one of the people who helped teach me how to DJ. He been with me ever since. You know what I'm saying? We've been friends for 30 years. He know me. You can ask him about me. I'm going to ask him. I'm going to ask him. I might ask him here as soon as we get off of here. I stood behind him for over three years, like watching him and he teaching me different stuff. I didn't even realize he was teaching me as much as he was until after the fact, like when I'm by myself, I'm like, oh, he already taught me how to do that. I know how to do that. I know how to mix. I know how to blend. I know how to count beat waves. Like he taught me all this. So, you know, like I tell him all the time, I can never, never, ever say thank you enough. He's a very interesting guy. I think we talked the other day. I bought another computer. Me and him were just talking about it. Yeah. We talked about a lot of stuff. You talk about computers. You talk about friends. Me and him, we're friends, man. Yeah. We were friends before all this. Yeah. It was just, that's why I said, I'm old school with it. Me and him, we just kind of, he did the music. You got whooped in pool, nigga.  U-T-B days, nigga. You don't want to go there. But that anyway, that's my guy. And the music thing is I was sitting a lot of, a lot of damn booths with this dude. A lot of strip clubs. I'm sitting in the booth just, I don't do numbers. Just sit there and talk to him because he's my friend, you know. Yeah. So that's good that you got it first hand like that. Yeah. Fresh, I can't forget to go DJ Thriller and Rest in Peace, my brother, DJ Dip. Okay. DJ Dip, he was one of the real, real big influences on me becoming a DJ. Like, he really pushed for it hard. You know what I'm saying? We from the same side of town. Okay. We used to be in the same side of town a lot. So he seen what I was doing and he knew like, okay, if you want to do this, you got to do it all the way. You can't halfway do it. So he pushed me to do it all the way too. Wow. People that Thriller, Dip, Fresh, you know what I'm saying? Of course the big homie DJ, I see. Okay. The CEO to go DJs. He had a big influence on me too, but they kept me, they kept me grounded and got me where I need to be. That's dope, man. Like I said, that's what, that's what, that's the stories here because it's some young kids out there that want to be a DJ. Yeah. Believe it or not. And you say, well, what's your young kid? I'm talking about 15 and 16. Yeah. 17, really. And that's what this show is about. Yeah. It's more about you and your gift and being able to, be able to see you and say, guess what? If he could hit it, the DJ trapped it, I could do it. You know what I mean? And that's what... Number of dedication. You see what I'm saying? So that's what it is. So when you first, when you first knew you was going to be a DJ, how did you, how did you go into that? I mean... Somebody just picked up on you. I'm going to tell you what happened. I went to the club and I seen the DJ get paid. Oh, about that money. I never forget that day. I seen him get paid and he gave him the money. The wider money was so big. I had to go over there and ask him, like, they pay you there every night. He was like, man, sometime on a good night, sometime. There's more than this. You know, it's just... But you're going to have to work a little bit to get to where I'm at. You know, you're going to have to start a little bit lower. So I got with DJ Dip and I got my first set of equipment. It was some CDJs. I had some Pioneer 800 CDJs. That's back when we were dropping CDs in the turntables. So I had some CDJs and then DJ Thriller gave me my first mixer. Shout out to Thriller. He gave me my first mixer. So I had my first set up. You know what I'm saying? I ended up breaking that too, Thriller. I ended up breaking that mixer. But he gave me my first mixing. After that, I just was at home every day practicing. Like every day. People don't know every day I was practicing every day. They thought I was just out here just running around. I was practicing every day. How old were you at that time? I had to be, I might have been like 22. But that was at the time, I wasn't getting booked in no clubs. I wasn't doing no parties. I was just practicing. I didn't want to go embarrass myself. Did you have a full-time job at that time? No, I didn't have no job. I was living with family members and thugging and just out here in life just doing whatever. You know, at that time I didn't have my life together. I was just doing whatever I wanted to do. Whatever's going to make me some money at the time. Let's go do it. So how old were you when you discovered that this is your calling? I say about 25 is when I really said I'm going all the way. What motivated you to do that? Was it because of your kids? I started getting success. I started, see me, I played basketball when I was younger. So I already knew everybody I knew. Point guard. Yeah, point guard, shooting guard. You used to get whooped up. I was eyes. I see your boy always crying when he played Thomas. Yella be easy. I be seeing them niggas boy they act like they in the NBA.  I be hitting them all I say man these niggas they in the NBA man. I started off with basketball and like that's what I really thought I was going to do. You know and then after school. You ever played them niggas? Who? Yella and Thomas? Yeah. Yella and Thomas. Thomas and Trash too. Who be winning? Who be winning? Yeah, let's be real. Both of them. Both of them. Do they ever, you be both of them? I'm going to be both of them every time. They not on your level? No, no, no, no. They ain't got no win. Y'all heard that niggas. I just put it out there. Just let y'all know when you come back. They ain't got no win. Tell me I got to hit the gym. What celebrity have you ever played and they whooped that? That they won? Yes. We had a celebrity basketball game in North Carolina. I can't even remember what the name of the game was. But he big now Tusi. I don't know if you heard of Tusi. I never heard of him. At the time he wasn't big. You know what I'm saying? But now he big. He can't beat you now? No, no. I got a win now because he too big. I got a win. We got to keep playing until I win. We're going to have to keep playing until I win. I mean I played against a few celebrities. You know what I'm saying? Black and young still Tusi. A couple of YouTube stars. You're saying he's the only one that beat you. We're the only one that really played one-on-one. Everybody else. It was just like a team game. Celebrity game just fun. They're not taking it serious. But we kind of took it serious afterwards because we was bedding a little bit. So I was like man let's play while everybody going. We can go and get a one-on-one game. All right. You a shooter or you like to drive? I'm a shooter. For sure. For sure. We can shoot for the catch right now. I already knew you were going to do. Right now. We can go shoot for the catch right now. Shoot for the catch. Right now. Man you know on balls talk 101 man being that we always asked these serious ongoing questions right. So I've been I've been interviewing some people here lately man. Right. Just I interview OG Bobby Billions and he did a song with Trap and he did a song with mode three. Yeah. What do you feel about? Do you think that he should have done that? What do you think about that? Me personally my opinion. Yeah. I think he should have did it. Why? Because he chose that he's not taking a side. So you feel like he people feel like he was taken aside by oh I'm only doing music with mode three. I'm not doing no music. If he would have done it that way. Yeah. If he would have if he would have I'm not going to do no music with Trap Boy and you from Oak Cliff Bobby Billions is from the cliff. People can say what they want to say. I know people that knew this man when he was a little run around the hood like he just wasn't known. Of course he wasn't blown up. So you're not going to really notice him if you don't know him. You know what I'm saying. He's big. People stay in that section. When you in your section you know if you on Keiston poke you on Keiston poke. You ain't over here in BFL. You ain't over here in Bakley. You know you're in your section. So you could be in Keiston poke and somebody from Bakley never know you. That's right. You know what I'm saying. So it's just he stayed in his section but I think he did it right. I would have did it the same way. I would have did it. And he asked Freddie to do the song. Like it wasn't a thing of Freddie came like mode three mode three asked Bobby to do that song. Yeah. You know what I'm saying. That song was already out. Yeah. Mode three asked Bobby to get on that song. And then he gave him one of the best verses he ever had. Oh he gave it to me. You know what I'm saying. So I think both of them was needed on that song. You can't take either person off that song. It's a big thing right now in Dallas. Everybody's saying this and saying that. That's why I asked you because it's a hot. The bloggers are talking everybody. You can take either part off because Bobby already had the song out before mode three ever got on it. It was out. The song was getting played in the club. Everything. When he got on it. Of course it gave it a boost. It took off. You know what I'm saying. It hit the Billboard charts. He didn't say that. He did say that. It was out before. But like nobody heard it really. No. People say it was on the radio. It was on the radio. It was moving. But it was growing. It's like mode three was just a good person at the time to get on a song and see what happened. You know it's like a song growing. And you put a big artist on it. It's going to start moving more. It's going to take off even faster. You feel that if anybody else would have been the person under other than mode three. Like example, blue face. If blue face hadn't gotten it before. Did he get it before? He did. He did get it before. But see the thing about it is. He didn't do it. He didn't release it. He didn't release it. But so you think that if he did and released it before mode three got on it. Do you think it would have done. Done what it did with mode three? No. That was mode three's type of song. That was his type of song. But if you really be honest. You want to be honest. If you go look at the streams. Blue face. He got as much streams as the version with mode three do. If you go look at the views on YouTube. It's more views on his video. Didn't Bobby say it was more. Don't let that out the hat yet. Well, this will come out afterwards. But yeah. I'll tell people. We'll look for you right now. We just interviewed by OG Bobby. And he actually showed us that we already. We know that to be true. I pay attention. I watch everything. You just said what he showed. He showed us that online. You can go see it yourself. You can go to YouTube right now and type it in. It's more of you. So you can say what you want to say. We just saying that because we from here. And we know the back story of how the song came up. And how it blew up. We've seen that from the outside looking in. Blue face is the big artist. He was at the time when it was done. He's still the big artist. We sit down and listen to both songs. And we just. I personally, I can't speak for you. No, you can. I. Mo 3. It just seemed right for Mo 3 to be on that. It's his type of song. You can speak for me on that. Yeah. You write on that. I didn't mean to like Blue Face on it. I love Mo 3. I like Blue Face on it. I just didn't love Blue Face on it. We heard it a certain way. So then you hear it a different way. You're like, man, if you would have heard that one first, you might have liked it. No, I would have still liked Mo 3. But I mean, I think that, like I said, I think there was three types of song. That's his type of flow. Was he the first one came? Because you know, a lot of people on that singing thing, like the Rod Wave, the T-Rail. A lot of people. Yeah, it's a lot. More Rays. Because the Army is coming back. No, I'm not talking about that part. I'm trying to ask some questions here. When did you first see that style come into play like it is? The singing, the singing. Yeah, that's what they're doing. That's the pain. Yeah, yeah. I mean. Is it Mo 3? In Dallas? In Dallas, of course it is. In Dallas, for sure. But I mean, in the industry, I mean, that's Kevin Gates. That's Rod Wave. Kevin Gates. That's, you know what I'm saying? That's Rich Omicron. Like, they singing, they sing rap. You know what I'm saying? It's more of a harmonize. But it wasn't a deep, deep pain like that though. It wasn't. He had his own, he had his own way of putting out his music, his own way of, that's what made him special. You know what I'm saying? Because he had his own way of putting out the music. You know what I'm saying? Everybody knew he could rap. Everybody said, man, he could rap. He really got it. It just took a while for him to make it to where he was trying to make it to. Yeah. But that voice though, because the first, I didn't really never listen to Mo 3 rap before. Until I heard him sing. Right. When I heard him sing, like on his lives and stuff, that's where I saw him singing first. And I was like, he can really sing. Passion. Right. And you felt everything he was saying. And that's what I loved about him. So that made me go search for his music and look for all of his songs because of him singing.  Yeah, that's my boy. That's your boy. So when you, with all the controversies surrounding this. Right.  Right. Before it started. The say cheese video, where they was going back and forth. The song that he, that, that Mo 3 didn't happen to be on all of, all of stuff that everybody on the internet see. Right. How did that affect you far as being a DJ? I mean, it made me, it made me end up in a lot of uncomfortable situations. That's what I would say. I was thinking that way. This dude had to be in some real uncomfortable situations. It's like, it's like, Give me a story. I'm going to explain to you exactly how it is. We on boss talk one on one. We got to talk real. You know what I'm saying? So look, when it happened, I remember the day it happened. I remember the day the static first happened. This was years ago. This our most four or five years ago. Okay. When it first happened and I said, What day was on Monday or Tuesday? I don't know. I don't know what day it was. I don't know what day it was. I don't know what day it was. I was at home. I was at home looking at Instagram and I know it hit the internet. It was going on before the internet. But it hit the internet. But it hit the internet. You know what I'm saying? People are three doing lives and you know, Just yelling and screaming and saying this and this and that. You know what I'm saying? So now people are taking the sides and taking the opinions. I never was a person to be like, Okay, I can be cool with bro. You know what I'm saying? And be on this side because you on one side or the other. You know what I'm saying? That's just how it worked. Like I'm on this side. I'm cool money. I'm cool money in the same. And I've been cool money. I knew Freddie before he even rap one verse before he ever was rapping. I knew him before he ever put out one CD. You know what I'm saying? I knew him. That was already my partner. So when he got with the rap and I became his DJ, That was just, oh, that's my brother. We're going to do this together. It never was a DJ rapper relationship. So when this happened, it wasn't no question who side I'm on. Right.  Cause that's my brother. I'm right with my brother. Just like if it would have happened to me, he would have rolled with me. But at the same time we in the club and the song popular.  That's part of the business. See, but that's the part I would wonder about. Like if he would say that you can't play that song no more. Right, right. I mean, one thing about one thing, one thing, one thing about Trebley Freddie, Trebley Freddie way smarter than people think he is. He's smart. He knows what goes on. He knows situations. He's been in situations. I already felt that way. So he already knew. Hey, it's going to be a point where this song, hitting the Billboard charts, he going to have to play there. No, no, no. In the club, in the club. Now I cannot play it in certain clubs. You know what I'm saying? I'm not listening to it in my car. I'm not bumping and walking down the street. But when they get to a premier part of the club in this song right now, it's probably the most streamed song in Texas. Besides Megan Thee Stallion and, you know, Travis Scott and Beyonce, you know, they Texas artists besides them. Outside of them, that's the number one song streamed in the whole state. That's correct. You know, so you can't. That's like, why would I not play that? That's like me going in the club and not playing Young Thug Ski. That's like me going in the club and not playing Drake. Way too sexy. Well, come back to what you guys, when you felt like the tension from when it hit the internet. It was just, you know, I'm in the club. You know, there's no Dallas people in the club. Okay. There's no clip people in the club. You know what I'm saying? I'm playing the records, but I always play both records. Anybody that know when they've been in the club, if I play outside, I'm playing a track board Freddy record after that. Yeah. That's how it's going. Woo. You know what I'm saying? So it's a lot of situations where it got sticky. You know what I'm saying? Real sticky. But people understand one thing about me. Hey, if you're going to come for me, you got to come all the way. Correct. Yeah. So, you know, once you understand that, you got to go with the consequences. Like, you know what I'm saying?    Can't nobody try? No. I didn't think so. Ain't no promoter never told me that. No, no. So the times when you look at all the stuff that transpired and all, what can make Dallas a place where people can come together when they do the music but still have differences? You see, that's where I'm at because when I go to Atlanta or when I'm in Chicago or where I'm in Vegas, I feel like the music is a priority. But here, it's like we've split this thing so much to where everybody just kind of just intense because of what happened. Right. It was a big deal. You know, a lot of people, you know, we have a lot of lost lives behind us. Right. So how can we get back there? And I know it's a complicated question. I think, I really think in that particular situation with these two sides, we can't really just talk about them. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I know what you thought. I'm not worried about them. I didn't ask about them per se. I asked you how. You understand what I'm saying? How can we, how can we evolve, you know? I think over time, over time, things are, things are blow over and people will forget it. You know what I'm saying? Not saying they're going to forget his name or nothing like that, but over time people will forget it and I think we'll, you know, we'll level up and we'll get to the point where we'll make her because Dallas has got the, we got the eyes on us. Not only do you have the eyes, there's a lot of talent here. Yeah.   That's the part that, and another question I always ask, why do you think Dallas, and if you answer, I know the answer I think, but why do you think Dallas and Houston could never look as if they're one when you look at Texas? He goes. He goes too strong. Like it's just like, you know, everybody that's rapping, they not paying attention to it. Freddie and Yella, they stay connected and they work their way up the chain to the music industry. If you watch it, everybody like, oh, that's his partner. No, they stay connected. It's not, they don't got nothing to do with my partner. They've been my partner before I was rapping. You know what I'm saying? It's a lot of people that's my partner before I was rapping and when I was rapping. But the thing about it is, hey, I know I'm going to make it to this business. I'm going to make it to this business meaning I'm going to make it to this label meaning, you know, I need you to come. Why? Because you need to know the people that you are. But how many artists in Dallas don't want to do that? They want to go by their self. Oh, no, I don't want to take him. That ain't, that ain't, nah, man. You know what? I want to get him. I want to go by myself. I want to go meet with the label by myself. Instead of both of y'all going to meet with the label, both of y'all presenting y'all music and let them pick. Hey, we going to sign both of y'all. We going to sign one of y'all. You know what I'm saying? It's just, it's the egos. It's the egos.  I don't want to be, oh, it's trapping yellow. You know, that ain't never been a problem for them. Both of them being successful. So, when you look at that, back to Dallas and Houston. Yeah.  Think about it. Yeah. Yeah. That too. Because the nigga go down there, they ain't getting along. Nah, for sure.  For sure. I'm being real in prison. For sure. And in the streets, nigga wearing these stars everywhere. For sure. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So, think about it. And then you go down there, and it's like, I think sports do a lot to it. Sports, I mean, like I say, egos, it's the money, you know what I'm saying? The money? A lot of people got their own money. So, they look at it like, what I need to link with you for, and I can pay for it myself. You know what I'm saying? What I need to link with you for, and I got a label. You know what I'm saying? They helping me like, it's just, it's a lot. It's a lot. I don't even know if that could ever happen. See what I mean? I don't know if that could ever happen to be honest. She had a good question. My damn question was good too. That's a good question. I don't think that could ever happen. I love that. Because the pens and stuff so strong in the money, people in Houston, they getting their money, people in Dallas getting their money. It's a lot of people. They backing their people, you know what I'm saying? They got the mob down there, we got the New Dallas movement. You know what I'm saying? It's all like, they doing their thing, we doing our thing. So, how would it ever come together? What happened to that boy? Is it Smurf Franklin over there? Yeah. How's he doing? He good. Man, Smurf working out. Smurf chiseled, man. Okay. He over there looking like Buff Bagwell, man. Smurf doing his thing. Yeah, Smurf Franklin. He got some new music coming too, man. Look out for Smurf. Oh, yeah? Yeah, he got some new music coming.  Man, I didn't walk the block. Blocked two feet? I didn't walk the block to my feet. To slap. For better or worse. Look, and the curry thing about Gator Man is like, I knew him. I seen him all the time, but I didn't know his music. Really? I didn't know, I knew that song, but I didn't know his music. I knew him, though. That's a life. I knew him from the streets and people talking about him. Yeah. I knew him. I'm a ball player, maybe going hard to the hole. When Gator Man was coming out, I was on Big Chief. You know what I'm saying? I love Big Chief. That's how we was on. You got love, Duh, Chief. Yeah, that's what we was on. That's how we was on. Listen, man. I got to get, I got to get, Man. When Gator came out, you know, when Gator was doing this thing, you know, he was still doing this thing, but I just wasn't tuned in on the people that I was on. Webby and Boosie. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's the people we grew up on. We love them. Definitely. So with that being said, I need the top three artists of all time. Dead or Alive. Dead or Alive any genre. That's a dangerous question. Oh, number one. Everybody that been in that sheet answered that question. Number one. Right. Top three artists dead or alive all the time. Number one. Ooh. That's a, ooh, that's a hard one. I wish I could go out and get fresh. I'll go back and spend it on it. Oh, man. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to speak on myself. Myself, me. What you're supposed to speak on? Most niggas coming here and getting mirrored. My number one, my number one artist all the time got to be Boosie. Damn. We grew up on Boosie. If I am, my other co-host here, he from Louisiana, he'll love you. That's all we listened to. Like when we was coming up, we were listening to Boosie and Webby. Yeah. That's what we were listening to. Webby, Jeezy and Jeezy. Like, Jeezy was. So is that you, top three? No, he ain't say, you're going to say that number two. No, I ain't going to say that my top three. Number two. But I'm saying that's the people we was listening to. Number two. Number two all the time, NBA Young Boy. Boosie, NBA Young Boy. Let me get in there. NBA Young Boy. He locked up right now. I'm talking about my, my, NBA Young Boy, you love his music.  I value what you say. People, people really want to be him. Like, people cry when that man with the jail never met him a day in their life. Damn. You know what I'm saying? Like, he got real fans. He was the third one to go. It was Pac, him and one more person to go number one while being incarcerated. Yeah. It was one more person. I can't remember who it is, but it was one more. Yeah. I can't remember. Young Boy, Young Boy is probably one of the best rappers ever. Wow. Like as far as like street rappers talking what they living. Like, he really going through what he's saying. Like, he got a real list to his music. You can see, hey, this going on with him, man. He getting jammed up and out. He been doing that. And he been doing this since a young age. So, I just like his flow, you know what I'm saying? And how he put his life situations in his music. You know what I'm saying? But it ain't turning out good for him right now, but He going to come home. Yeah. He going to come home. They got a lot of money and a lot of lawyers and a lot of things good for him. Number three. Number three. Man. Who I say, uh, Man, I got to say, look, I got to say, webby or G. No, you say webby? That's my nigga savage life, nigga. I got to say, I got to say GZ then. You say GZ. I got to say GZ. I ain't saying GZ. That nigga did a man. Uh, what was that? I used to hit the kitchen flow. That was cockroaches everywhere. Yeah. Hit the, now marble flows everywhere. That was way, you remember that song? GZ. Man, I know every GZ song he ever put out. I think we got it. Man, GZ, when we was coming up, my era growing up in high school, college, I told him zip lock this and zip lock that.  That nigga had them ad libs going, didn't he? He's on that GZ. He had the anthems. He had the whole CDs. Like you play the whole CD. You can let that a rock. The whole CD.  It's just like, it's so hard to put the three like that. Yeah, Gucci go hard too, nigga. Gucci go hard. Gucci go hard. We got a million songs. You did it. And he, I did three. Yeah, I know he did it, but I'm Gucci, nigga. I'm Gucci, nigga. I mean, I love Gucci, bro. And you know, I'm P.M.C. I'm P.M.C. There wouldn't be no Boosie without P.M.C. I wouldn't play Gucci over Boosie. You wouldn't? I wouldn't play Gucci over NBA Young Boy though. It's just me. I wouldn't do it because I look at it like, why would I, this is why I really like this. You ride with them, nigga. Yeah, that's why when I was coming up, I go out what I was hearing when I was coming up. I like your top three. I like it. I mean, you gotta admit it's yours. It's Boosie. It's easy. That's a good, that's dope. If you talk about urban music, you talk about hip hop, you gotta say them three names. That's heavy. That's my boy Boosie on the wall. That's my boy right there, man. Yeah, he good dude though. Real top, real, real when you're meeting, just like you. Yeah. Just a real nigga. Real nigga. So, what did you think when he got shot over there in Old Cliff at the Big T? Man, I'ma say it like this. That situation happened because of him. Okay. Explain. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't gonna speak too much on it. All I'm gonna say is he made that situation happen to him. That's how it went. Like, you gotta understand you're not in your side of town. You're in somebody else's hood. If you don't respect somebody else's hood, it can go bad for you. Either way, you look at it. You know what I'm saying? So, them people that did what they did, they feel like he was disrespected. Wow. So, they did what they did. They didn't go anywhere in America. And they feel like you're disrespecting them. They gonna do something about it. Wow. And like I said, I seen it coming. I heard a lot of talk, you know, just from the outside looking in, I'm like, wow, man, cause I love Boosie. And not only that, I'm in Old Cliff every day. That's my hood.  I was single. Yeah. That's why I used to go there. Yeah. And it's 20 years ago. Yeah. That's why I go. Yeah. And I didn't know I was going to do no store either at the time. I was looking at girls. That's why I was going with. Yeah. That's why all the women come on the weekends. Sunday used to be a beast back then. Before that, it was Glendale Park. I was at, I've stayed in that little vicinity, just make the circle at Big T, go down to Glendale, come back up, stop at that racetrack right there. Nigga, come on now. You know I did it.  Do they still do that down there? Yeah. Nigga, when I was doing it for real, I was jamming Big Mike. You don't know nothing about that. I was coming through, man. Yeah. And that's the way we did it. And so when, when I, even after that, I just hung at Big T. Big T is the place to be.  Yeah. So, you know, that's, yeah, so you, I gotta have, I gotta have Oak Cliff if I do Dallas. There's no, Oak Cliff, that takes a lot from Dallas. Out of Texas, Dallas, DFW, you can't do it. It's too important. It's important. That's like taking away Big T out of Oak Cliff. It can't do it. It's too important. If you come from out of town and you like, hey, what's this place I be hearing about? Big T. You gotta go by Big T. You got to. You got to. That's dope, man. I like it. So, if you go back and talk to that 16-year-old boy, 17-year-old boy that, you know, left it dead. Yeah. You left everything you about to face. What would you say? Left my mom out. No, you left your dad when you came from down. Oh, yeah. You didn't want to deal with it that one semester. What would you say to yourself to prepare yourself for what you was about to face, knowing what you know now? That's heavy because you'd be talking to yourself. I tell myself, you gotta look at what's going on and move smarter with the situation. Like, the streets was never the answer. Okay. I feel like that for everybody. You tell them this was never the answer. Like, I had a I was touching a lot more money than I thought when I look back at it. Like, people was giving me stuff, you know what I'm saying? I was touching a lot of money and I could have opened a lot of businesses. I could have made more smarter moves with my money instead of just spending on clothes, you know what I'm saying? Just going out to the club, balling, trying to buy bottles, trying to be like the next man, you know what I'm saying? I just wouldn't my mind wouldn't all the way so it just was the thing I should have I could have made smarter moves, but like I say, I was a kid, you know? Yeah, so how did you I was a kid. How did you get the name DJ Trap? Man, it really came from a couple of my partners. You know what I'm saying? A couple of my partners was called. We was trying to figure out a name I didn't know and then they was calling me Trap T and I was like at the time I was doing some hustling, you know what I'm saying? So that's what I was like Trap, no Trap T and you know, and then my granny had shown me I can't remember what it was on TV or it was on the newspaper. She showed me something that said take risk and prosper. Okay. You know what I'm saying? And I was like that's the acronym of trap. Because I'm a risk taker like I ain't I ain't scared to take no risks because I feel like when no risk is no reward. You know what I'm saying? So I was like I'm just going to roll with it because people was already calling me I'm really trying to take no change of name I'm just going to roll with it because the name doesn't define the person the person defines the name. What's the hottest song right now in the city or in there to you? The hottest song out in the club right now.
