believe that God has prepared something for you. God has something for you. Please don't sabotage it. Please don't perfect it. Because there is a reason, there's a purpose why we gather this morning. Amen? And I'm sorry to tell you it's not about you. I know you don't like that. Because if you seek the kingdom of God first and His righteousness, then it will be yours. All these things will be added unto you. Our family, our business, our job is just a byproduct of what we have done in the advancement of the kingdom of God. It's just a byproduct. I wonder how people still believe that if they neglect the kingdom, they don't participate in the kingdom agenda. They just live for themselves. They're just like, you know, they don't care about the church what's what's going on in the church. They don't want to involve in training. They don't want to involve in discipleship. They don't want to involve. And then they said, God bless me. Where did you get that? Where did you get that? It's it just come from religion right there. I think Jesus died not to start a religion. When Jesus died on the cross, He is raising up a new generation that loves God. There will be people, a new breed of people that is totally different from anybody. And it could be you. Because why? Because of what Jesus has done in your life. Jesus redeems you. He paid the penalty for your sin. He died for you. He shed His blood for you for one purpose because of the redemptive plan of God. Hallelujah. And when He redeems you, He takes you out from darkness to bring you into the light. Amen. From curses, He brought you to blessing. From blindness, He gives you revelation. From bondage, He gives you freedom. From brokenness, He gives you wholeness. And now you do nothing for Him. That's religion right there. You only think about yourself. You're always thinking about your family. And the kingdom agenda has nothing to do with you. You believe that. So every time your pastor talks about the vision, probably your leaders begin to talk about our tri-city need to be saved. You don't care. Why?  Me and my family, my wife and my children. What about the kingdom of God? That's why you read your Bible. One day they will tell you that they never knew you. Not anybody who said Lord, Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But Lord, but Lord, when was the last time I'm with you? I never knew you.  I never knew you. You never, you know, you are never with me. While I'm busy changing the world, you're just changing the diapers of your baby. While I'm saving people's lives, I die for them. You think about your house, your business. So let me tell you, when was the last time I'm with you doing the vision to change the world? I have changed your world so that together we could change the world.  Religion destroys churches. All over the world, I've seen this. I've been to 32 countries preaching the gospel, training leaders and training pastors. The number one enemy of the gospel are the people with religious spirit. It never changed the city, it never changed the nation, and it never changed the family. Because until and until in faith, the future of the world become more important than your future, you have no future. Because this is not about us, this is about changing the world for Jesus. That's how big is the vision. I pastor at the age of 25, and when I started to pastor, not one person believed that I am a pastor. I was so skinny during that time. My waistline is 27, sexy baby, 27. And now the said 27 goes up here. I grew big after 34 years. At the age of 25, God want me to preach the gospel among the young people. And I was so excited to preach the gospel in the campus because I come to know the Lord Jesus Christ inside the campus. I'm an architect by profession, by the way. So I pastor at the age of 25, and most of my friends, most of our pastor told me, you are crazy. Don't start a church in the university belt area because you're going to suffer badly about it. I said, why? Because the student have no, they don't earn a living. They just rely on their parents. And during the time 1988 was a down economy for the Philippines. So the economy is down, and the student are barely, most of them are poor, but I begin to receive the calling of God. Now I have to make a choice. Do I believe on the voice of the people, or I believe on the voice of God? So I decided to believe on God. Okay, Lord, I pastor church in the middle of the university belt area. In a matter of five years, all the prophecy of this pastor will build. I suffer. I almost quit because I can't even pay a $200 facilities during the time. I got debt. I got, I'm in trouble. I tell you, I'm in trouble. But one thing steers me is division. I've seen what happened to the Philippines, the corruption from the government to the lowest level, her corrupt. And I see the result. I saw the result like it makes people poor out of this corruption. Wherever you go, there was a rampant corruptions. And then I begin to ask the question, what happened? During my devotion and prayer, God spoke to my heart or yell. You see those corrupt official right now, when they were young, they are being discipled by the devil. While they were in campus, I was shocked to hear that from God. And now after graduation, they've been so corrupt in the middle of their campus. When they come out, now they were called educated corrupt people. And nobody caught these corrupt people because they are highly educated. So we have educated corrupt people. I'm glad there's no one that in America, right? Wherever I go, most corrupt people are educated. They came from campus. So while I received the vision, I began to understand why God called me. I said, Lord, are you sure? You're going to preach to the young people, thousands of them will be born again. You will train and equip them. And you're going to prepare an entire generation so that your nation will be changed. But the voice of people told me the negative, people told me that it can never happen. You're just a skinny guy.  I just, I think everything was confirmed. It really happened the way how they talk to me. You know what? It's so hard to be on that middle, the voice of God and the confirmation of the voice of people. But I insist to believe God. I don't know what's happening to me. Probably I'm crazy for Jesus. That's what they call me. This man is crazy for Jesus.  I got married with no salary. I don't know how to feed my kids. I just trust the Lord. I just believe God. I've been a pastor for 34 years now. Look at me, still alive, right? And I'm going to the nation bringing this message. It rings on my ear that God said, I will use you to preach the gospel to the young people. These young people will be discipled and they will be raised as leaders because Oriel, you're going to reinforce the future with leaders. Prepare the future because Satan has been preparing the future demonic leaders that will run your nation. You have to create another flow. That's how the vision comes to me. So, I began to preach the gospel to young people for the first 15 years. I was confused because it grows to 200 only for the first 15 years. I've been doubting God. Lord, are you sure you want me to pastor?  Then I realized something. God told me this. Oriel, you have to learn to walk with me. I'm giving you what I'm supposed to give to you. That's the time in 203 I realized I learned to disciple my people. I need to come out with training process, the process that will produce more leaders like a pipeline of leadership. God said, produce a pipeline that produce leaders. Produce a pipeline that produce leaders. Those students, that you win, God gave me an idea on 203. This is the first step for real. Help that student to find their way back to God. That's the first step. After that, you teach the student how to start up their new life in Jesus. Third, he said, after that, you have to help the student disciple them to put their life back to order, back to the original design of their life. And then you can empower them after you train them, after you disciple them, so that you could send and release them to the nations. How did it happen? Second Kings chapter two. Let me read this passage. This is the process that God showed me. That's why I believe on the vision. In second Kings chapter 19, can you give that verse? The people of the city said to Elisha, look, our Lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive. God showed me this verse. When I saw that the land is unproductive, I see the nation of the Philippines. I see the barrenness. I saw the emptiness, the brokenness of people. They are poor. They are suffering. The land is unproductive. But God showed me. The people of the city said, look, our Lord, the town is well situated. It means that the nation of the Philippines is highly strategic. Do you know that Singapore, if you go to Singapore, they have no natural resources, but they are one of the most wealthiest cities in Asia? Do you know that Hong Kong has no what we call the minerals, natural resources? If you compare that to the Philippines, do you know that we have the gold deposits, second largest in the world? Do you know that we have a great deposit of oil and fossil oil? We have a lot of, you know, ore, you know, a lot of minerals in our country.  That's why the people are poor.  If I could, but you don't do it that way. I see these leaders. I said, how come this nation becomes so corrupt like that? And then God show me and he showed me something as you can see, but the water is bad. What is water? Water has the ability to flow. It has the ability to flow. And every time this water flow, it makes the land unproductive. So I began to meditate upon this verse and God show me what are the things that flows in the land that makes it unproductive? Then I see it. Oh my God, I saw the campus. When the student graduated, they begin to come out from the campus, they begin to flow and go to different places and they corrupt everything. And I said, God, I saw it Lord. I got to go back to the campus. I got to bring the gospel to the campus because if the student will come to know, they will flow and make the land productive again. That's the vision. I saw it in the vision and it's starting that day. I cry out to God, Lord, help me. I don't know what to do. That's the time I saw and understand how to process the people to prepare leadership. Immediately God showed me how to create leadership pipeline. In 2003, I saw the vision. I heard how to do it. I walked with God. In the first three years of my ministry, it grew to 3,500. In the next five years, it becomes 5,000. It become 10,000. It become 15,000. It become 20,000. I begin to share this vision to most pastors because God show me or yell, you cannot do it on your own.  You have to impart this to other vision to other pastors. And when I impart this to many pastors, they believe this. Now we have campus revolution conference every year with like 25,000 young people coming to that meeting. We begin to do that. Look at next verse, verse 20. Bring me a bowl. Bring me a new bowl, he said, and put salt in it. So they brought it to him. Then he went up to the spring, threw the salt into it, saying, this is what the Lord says, I have healed this water. Never again will it cost death or make the land unproductive. God show me I want to bring healing to every campus. I want to restore the student back to life. You have to preach the gospel to these young people. If you go to my church, it's 80% young people. But when I visit different churches, 80% old people. Where are the young people? If you pay to get your young people, you're not prepared for the future. The church will die eventually. We have to reinforce our future with great leaders while they were young. Hallelujah. Bring me a new bowl and put salt on it. So God show me there's a bowl and put salt on it and go to the source of water, the spring, and bring that salt. The spring shows me this is the campus, the one who flows, who gives the flow. But if you put the salt in the spring, it means you put Christians in the campus, then the campus will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Then we begin to see this. If we could change the campus, we can change the nation. If we could win the young people today, we could win the world tomorrow. I begin to believe that. So I go back to the campus. I said, God, how can I bring the bowl of salt? He said, you start from one, become the soul of the earth. Let that person know how to disciple someone until they disciple, until they saturate the campus with the gospel of Christ. God show me three things. He said, teach your people to become fluent in the gospel, create a community inside the campus, and let every cells, every campus community carry the gospel cause. Praise the gospel, create community, small group, train them because they have a cost of appeal. I begin to go to the campus. Today we have like 42 campuses bringing the bowl of salt inside the campus. And every time we bring the salt inside the campus, the student got healed. I got one disciple named Grego Bellica, become a cabinet members of the president. Do you know what is the position? Anti-corrupt Caesar. It's my disciple. God show me, if you disciple, you're gonna change the nations. It's so powerful that every word that God's spoken happens. It transforms a nation. Today until now, we're still doing it because we still not yet finished the task. It's unfinished task. We still disciple people. We still raise up leaders, and we still produce leaders from different aspect of society. That's how to change and transform a city. We prioritize the message of salvation. Every day I told my staff, Pastor Black, if you're a church staff, don't follow the other churches with church staff because most of the church staff, they stopped evangelizing because they stopped.  You need to disciple. I train my people not to become people, not to become program oriented. You must become people oriented. You don't go to church for the program, you go to church for people. Amen. I literally changed the atmosphere of my church. I begin to talk to my musicians. Do you have disciples? No pastor. Do you need a cell? No. I'll give you six months. In six months, if you don't have a disciple and you are not leading cells, you're out of the ministry. The only person that will go to the states are the people who carry the vision in their hearts. I begin to set a standard. Come on, set the standard. You don't do ministry if you don't have people ministry. I repeat that. You don't have ministry if you don't have people ministry because Jesus never died on the cross for the church program. He died for the people. He never said on the cross, Lord, forgive me for they don't know how to make program. No, forgive them because they don't know what they are doing. It's about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. So I begin to talk to my musicians. I even do this pastor blood one day during Sunday service. I said, is there a first time you're here? None. Is there someone come to know the Lord Jesus Christ this week? None. Then I talk to my worship team. You better get down. This time, there's no singing, no dancing. Just repenting because in the Bible, if you save one soul, the whole angel in heaven is rejoicing. How can you rejoice without somebody God say? So the next Sunday, I asked my worship team, do you think we could worship, play music or we just repent again? The drummer said, just to make sure pastor, I brought two person with me now. First time we got 46, first timer goes to church on that Sunday. And I said, let's worship the Lord. We rejoice because people are coming to know the Lord because that's the vision. Saving lives, saving people. We must have the right reason why we go to church. We go to church because we rejoice with Jesus. Why the angels are rejoicing? Because they were so caught up by the joy of Jesus. Because if you want to make Jesus happy, bring souls to Him. He was not enjoying your singing. The people are not saved. There's no verse in the Bible, go and sing to all nations. There's no verse like that.  No, there's no verse like that. Go and make disciples. That's the Bible verse. And I believe this is our responsibility. Every one of us, this must be our vision. Because this is not about your family. This is about taking over the land. We need to take over the tri-city. God's people should take it over. We need to bring the gospel to the tri-city. Amen? In every place we have to bring the gospel. We don't need to push you. We don't need to prod you. You just need to obey. Can I be a man? We will not force you. Because God said, one day I will know you. Because one day you will regret. When you face Jesus, Jesus will tell you, I never knew you. Why? When was the last time you spent time with me to win people? You never spent time with me. That's why I don't knew you. Because the only person I know is the one who have the heart like my heart. I want no one with perish. I want every soul to come to repentance. No one should perish. That's the heart of Jesus. Is that your heart? No, your heart is, I want a new house. I want a new car. I want a good vacation. And God said, what about my purpose? What about my plan to save people's life? That's the issue right there.  Bring the salt in the spring. So I begin to bring the gospel to the spring, the campus, because that's where the leaders were born for the nation. If I was able to bring the gospel to the students, begin to train them and equip them, begin to disciple them, they will take leadership in the future. Literally thousands of cells is being born in so many campus. Before pandemic, we have like 13 services a week because we have a lot of services for young people. And then the COVID attack, and then we have to slow down. But now I can say, we're back, full blessed. Amen. We need to do something right now so that the land will never become unproductive again. Because when you come to know the Lord Jesus Christ, your original design is to become a great representative of the kingdom. That's your original design. Remember, when you listen to the gospel, the gospel don't just redeem you from the power of sin and death. You are saved not just to be saved. You are saved to be renewed in the way you think. That's why Jesus' first message is repent for the kingdom of God that's now arrived. The word repent means change the way you think. Because the way you think has been contaminated by wrong information. Because the religion tells you, take care of your family. No, your family will be taking care of the kingdom. I'm not saying don't go to your job. That's not my point. But my point, God will take care if you take the kingdom of God first as your agenda. Hallelujah. The word repentance is change the way you think. How do you change our mind the way we think?  How did Adam and Eve think during the time when they were created? You know the way how they run their thinking? Listen to this. There is no parents. Adam and Eve have no mama and papa. So no parents giving them information. They have no pastor, evangelist, prophet. They have none. The only information they receive is from God. And God said, I want you to repeat. Change the way you think, the way Adam and Eve think that the only source of their information is none other than God. That's the only information. Because in that time, the only person they trust is God. You need to trust anybody, not even your job, not even your business. You trust God. That's the original design for your life. Now if you can begin to trust God, you can now do the God's agenda. I can still remember when I was young. I began to preach the gospel to many students and I impart the vision to them. Today the oldest person in my church is me. If you go to my church and then I begin to tell them, hey, win your parents. They begin to win their parents. I said, thank you, Jesus. Now I'm not the oldest now. There are now parents coming to my church because automatically when you become a Christian and you get agenda, you cannot help yourself but to share the gospel to your parents. Can I ask this question? How is your children? How would they flow one day? Would they flow under drugs, prostrations, broken life? You know what's happening in America?  Name it. Everything is here. They need to hear the original information. They need the truth. Truth means original information coming from the right source and when they hear the right information coming from the right source, you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. We bring the truth to our nations. So I begin to train, I begin to train my 12 disciples. I talked to my wife and I said, we got to select 12 people under our care. So my wife selected 12 disciples. I selected my 12 disciples. My disciples are not even married. Those are singles during the time. So I begin to disciple my 12. I said, all of you will go to the process of training. You need to love the training. Then I got the word, training is my happy hour. We coined that word so that everybody should begin to speak the same word. Training is my happy hour. So what do you have right now? Training is my happy hour. So we begin to train our leaders and then I begin to tell them, once you finish the process, you have to disciple your own 12. So they begin to disciple the 12. I realized from 12, it becomes 1-4-4. It becomes 2-8-8. And then their 1-4-4 begin to do the same process. Now they got 1-7-2-8. It becomes 3,000. And then after that 3,000, the 3,000 begin to disciple 12 again. It becomes 20,000. The same process, the same materials, the same system, we duplicate our strategy. And then one day God wants me to share this to other churches. So other churches begin to learn the process, learn the system, and we disciple people. It multiplies. Now we have more than 7,000 doing the same thing. Are you listening? We can gather like, we have to baptize one day like 3,000 people in one day. We begin because the 7,000 churches believe on this process, on these visions, the campus, now we gather 365,000 in one day. In a big park, no one was able to do that, but God made it happen. And that day I was preaching on the 365, and God told me this. I told you. I told you. I was crying that day because God never lies. God loved the city. He loved to transform my nations. While I was preaching on the 300,000 people, I know God is up to something. He prepared these things for us. How many among you you are seeing something will happen on Hungry Jen? Do you know that these church can be a launching pad for visions? Do you know that? Hallelujah. Do you see this? Do you see this? Yes. Heaven will be open. Kingdom will be moving. Because this church will be used by God powerfully. So I want you to get ready. Amen? I want you to get ready. Regardless of your age, age doesn't matter. We got somebody, an old woman, the age of 80, got 12 disciples. 84 years old. We've seen this from different churches. I got one church in California, by the name of Pastor Pong. Her name is Sister Prime. She was at the prime of her age. She was 80, 86. And she is building her one for four disciples. You've got to hear that because you've never seen that before, isn't it? So therefore because you never see that, you don't believe it. So you think like, I'm not that kind of person. No.  You might have just perfected the great plan of God. You are designed to become fruitful. You are designed to become productive. In fact, you are created by God to multiply not just to produce. You can conquer your dream and you can lead as a leader. That is your original design. So most of these poor students, when I talk to them, they don't believe because you know what? Most Filipino people are oppressed. For 400 years, we are colonized. We are captured by the Spanish people. We've been a slave for these Spanish people. For 400 years, we don't know how to live. We just know how to follow. And then the American came. Not you, the old, old American. They eventually colonized again our country. Now we have another boss. Used to be our boss. The Spanish speaking people. It became the English speaking people. And then the Japanese keep on oppressing us until we are set free. We become a nation again. But the spirit remained in the mind of every Filipino student. They were oppressed. Do you know that Philippines are the number one sending versus contract workers? We are known for household, nanny, the Filipinos. I was sad for that because I know God has something for the Filipino. I began to speak against that oppressions. Now the Filipino, when they hear the message of Jesus, he said, he has anointed me to set the captives free. I preach the gospel to every Filipino and teach them oppression can only be destroyed by the power of the blood of Jesus. Do you know not every person in the church is free? Most of us are oppressed. How do I know that you are oppressed? Number one, you don't dream for your nation. Number two, you lack discipline to do that. Number three, you have no plan to change your nation. And number four, no dream, no discipline, no plan, no right action to participate on that.   You don't plan about the plan of the kingdom. So I began to preach to these young people. Hey, brother, I told these young people, Jesus will heal your oppression. Begin to dream. Dream big team for your life and for your family, but you have to discipline yourself. Stop those computer games. Dream and plan for your future. So as a church, we dream together. We plan together. We discipline ourselves together and we start doing the right thing. We put the salt in every compass and the Bible said, I love this. Look at this verse. When I began to read this passage, I was so elated and blessed. He said, this is what the Lord says. I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive. The water has remained pure to this day according to the word Elisha had spoken. When God healed the compass, he will heal the land. These church must go back to minister to the young people. If you want America to recover back their heritage and their destiny, let's go back to these young people. Let's bring your children must be here. Your children must come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Your children, your grandchildren, you must be the person who received the revelation, the vision, and you begin to be like water that has been purified by God.  That's your calling. Everyone of us from these church, we receive the powerful word. Our life is changed. Our life is transformed. Our life was empowered because we're going to flow. When we go to our offices, we flow. Amen. When we go back to our campus, we flow. Wherever we go, we flow. We bring the power of the gospel to our city and the city will be changed and transformed because the church is back full blast, bringing the gospel to change the nation and change the world. Amen. I find myself, I thought I would just be preaching on the campus then one day begin to preach all over the nations and then God brought me out to Asia. I begin to preach in Hong Kong, in China, in Korea, in Taiwan, in Thailand, and then God brought me to America. I was able to even go to Ukraine, to Moscow. I've been to Latin America. I've been to Australia, 32 countries. I used to think like I've been preaching the gospel, but God said, no, no, no, real. Your vision is too small. You preach the gospel in Jerusalem, there in Judea, then Samaria, until you reach the most part of the world. Now I'm in Washington preaching the gospel, the goodness. I believe your life matters, not just black, your life matters. Amen. Your life matters. You can be a great minister of the gospel of Christ. How many of you have to bring the gospel to the nations? Listen, if we could change the young people today, we could change the world tomorrow. If we could transform the life of these people, we could transform our city. One day you will declare the tri-city is the city of our God. Amen. Nobody dare to say that, but you have to start declaring tri-city is the city of our God, in the name of Jesus. Amen. We will begin to preach and let the people encounter God. Let me close by telling you, this is your time, not to sabotage the future of the city, not to perfect what God has prepared for you, but starting today, let's believe the vision. The vision will transform our city, not just my family, not just my life, but God will transform our city, our family, and our life. Hey, thanks for watching this video.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says, write the following as a Hindu-Arabic numeral XXXVI. Let's move on to the solution. We need to write XXXVI as a Hindu-Arabic numeral. Now we know that in Hindu-Arabic numeral the value for X is 10. The value for V is 5 and the value for I is 1. We know that the repetition of a symbol in a Roman numeral means addition. So as you can see in this expression X is repeated 3 times. So XXX is equal to 10 plus 10 plus 10 which is equal to 30. Now let's see what would be the value for VI. Now V means 5 and I means 1. So a smaller numeral is written to the right of a larger numeral. So in this case the smaller numeral is added to the larger numeral. So this would be equal to 5 plus 1 which is equal to 6. Now XXXVI would be equal to the value of XXX which is 30 plus the value for VI which is 6 and this is equal to 36. So we write XXXVI in Hindu-Arabic numeral as 36. This is our final answer. This completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution of this question.

I thought you was going to say, I put my mask back up.  I did anyway. Hey, man.  What we talking about? Hey, man, welcome back to the 85 South Show. First and foremost, the first and foremost, you will never believe who in the trap with us today. Who in the trap, Lowe? What? Mr. Put your hands where my eyes can see. Break your neck. Huh? He's joking. Give me some more. Keep talking. That. Who? That's the only nigga that can do this in a song. The most diabolical nigga.  Bust around. Before we get started, I got to do it. I got to do it. Hold up. Hold up. Everywhere I got to go to where I got to get in. I got to speed in. Hold up. Get in. Listen, you got to do it. Because I'm putting a light on. I got to get away. Get away. Get away. But I know that I don't. And I won't ever stop. Because you know I got to win every day. And you really want to pop me. Just know that you can never flop me. But I know that I can be a little floppy. You ain't never going to stop me. Every time I come in, I got to sit it. Then I got to go in. Then I got to get it. Then I got to blow it. And I got to show them any little thing. And they can think that it'll be door. Because it doesn't matter. Because I'm on it. I'm on it. I got to do a lot of things. And make it clear to a couple of niggas. That I always wanted. And then they got to get it again. And then they get it again. And then they get it again. And I'll be doing this. Definitely. I'm with a little style of nigga. Better call a rap. And everybody know my style of niggas. Know that I'm the best. When they come to doing this. And I'll be begging on my chest. And I'll bang in the east. And I'll bang in the west. After we can do you more. And I will never give you less. You know we got a deal. In the devil's pace. So we struck it in the hustle and the sin. And then again. You know, we got to do it. Take a tour of a place got. Taste it. I got to grab it. I got to cut off this track. Big get the beat at the top of the door.   You got this. Yeah. That nigga really got to get lyrics.  Cause I could do that nigga.  True story.  In North Carolina called Lotus.    And nigga, what? And what? The legend dirt.  Nah, you know that's what I do. Now I'm autistic when it comes to that type of job. Nigga. OG, you're full.  Oh, nigga. Listen. I'm gonna tell you the moment. Why I knew, bro, why I knew. This the moment where I knew I had to know this nigga in real life. I was watching higher learning, and it had just beat the white news up.  This type of nigga I need to know in real life. What?  Man, what, man, Buston, thank you so much for, man, gracing the trap with your presence. This is an honor, man. Like, you a legend. You one of the greatest to ever touch a microphone, man. Like, it's an honor to have you in here. That we didn't even get to the status that you will come sit down with niggas like us, man. Thank you, bro. Thank you, man. Lead us up to the new school. Thank y'all, man. The motherfucking might... It's interesting that you acknowledged my bros, man, where it all started from with me, because I believe yesterday, was the 27 year anniversary of the second and the last leaders' album. I'm 28! You're 28, bro? 28!  I'm one years old, man. That's how long you been born. Shit on myself.  That's how long you been born.    I appreciate y'all, man. Man, what keep you motivated to still do it after all this time and all the accolades and the things you've accomplished? What keep you still motivated to make this music? I mean, I think we can all agree, just being niggas in the right mindset.     I think we all that same dude at heart.  When I was putting them records out with leaders, I was still living in my mom's crib. You know what I'm saying? So having an incredible mom's like, Mom's too, she signed my deal when I was 17, I wasn't old enough to sign my deal.     Y'all would probably never heard of Buster Brown's ever because maybe that opportunity wouldn't have came around for a nigga.    Nigga, this nigga here, who gon' say that? Yo, he know, he know, he gon' cry, he know.   I'm like, nigga, because I always said you had the best beats in hip-hop history. Oh, thank you, brother. What that one song that he used just as an interlude that shoulda been the motherfucking single, though. I'm trying to think of the name of it, boy. I think it was just give it to him raw. And you used that as an interlude and one of them video. Yeah, I did make a song out of that record. I know, but it wasn't no single. It wasn't no single.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  Big up the mega, mega. Who made, who damn, I think of, Swiss made that beat. Swiss, Shannon's beat. Swiss made that beat.  Nah, I love how you dig into the catalog though and you know joints.    Do you know how frivolous I am? I got a hummer that I only drive to my mailbox and that's all I used before.  But never be yours. But this is the whole like, the sketch before give me some more, come on.    I'm in another era, but I still love you. You know what I'm saying?  No, nothing.  I think the lyricism, niggas don't get you to respect as a lyricist. Hands down.  I appreciate that. I love how you come on the song.  But you know, at that time, and always for me, like, you know, I think the most important thing when you had the opportunity to get on the collabs especially, because a lot of the times those moments happened on the collabs. It was just about, how do you make it unfair from the first line?   That's why those type of things would happen in the intro. Their minds wasn't in the bars.  That's how the intro was on Woo-Haw.  You know what I'm saying? That's a testament to you as a nigga.  You be like, yo, what are you doing? Word, that's what it was. Who gonna stop it? Who gonna stop it? Who gonna stop it? It's happening to say, y'all, y'all, y'all, niggas need to be saying it. That's it. That's my 2020 thing song. Woo-Haw got you all in check. 2020 got us all in check. I'm telling you, that's what I had to put it in perspective.  When you did the Turn It Up song, and you put one of your, I know like Rod Digger came up with you and under you and studied under you.  Which song? The Turn It Up, Touch It. Touch It, yeah, cause Turn It Up was the joint over the night. I'm an old nigga at this point. I just remember the part of the song and that's the name. But you know the one? Touch It. Touch It. Turn It Up. I'm getting it. Touch it. Touch it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I'm getting it.  Then I kick a whole bunch of niggas out of my house. Then we went to the trap, niggas all on the couch. Then I hit another bitch, but I'm kicking her up and I get low, but you can't trust in these niggas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Touch It. Touch It. Yeah. Yeah. Touch It. Bring it up, niggas. I'm getting it. I'm getting it.  I'm getting it. I don't have to know the words. I know the feelings. That's it. I know what it feels like. I'm getting it on now.  Hell yeah. Well, I dig it. The best, bro. The best. She's probably the best female MC bar for bar to me. Wow. Her and Rhapsody and Lauren is my favorite three MCs in the female genetic makeup. But I don't like to call them dopest female MCs.  I think they violently, not in the literal sense, but when I'm speaking in reference to competition, we're not going in there to give you flowers and be nice. I want to reckon with you and we could be the best for friends. I don't want no friendship with you until the song is over, motherfucker. We can beat them. So what I'm saying is if I dig a Rhapsody and Lauren to me, they pen was dangerous.        That happens sometimes. Shit is like the greatest catch.  The deadliest catch, yeah, the niggas.  I knew it. So I'm a fan of that show, personally. But that's like the perfect metaphor, though. Bruh, I would love to see Buster Ryan watching deadliest catch.   This motherfucker was huge. I think it was the motherfucking tuna or something. Shit was crazy. Yo, but Digger, I ain't going to fight.  I would be like, I don't know if we should say that. Or let's finish the song tomorrow. Give yourself some time. She went that crazy? Give yourself some time. You know what, man, this studio costs too much. You don't have to come back during the daytime when the money's a little bit low. I'm glad you brought up the Flipmode score. She still does. She still does. By the way, we completed a Flipmode 20-year reunion album. That's coming next year. So. Hey, I'm glad you brought up Flipmode's score. And I'm glad you brought up this legend over there. Come on, we got the Official Street Corner Colonel in the motherfucking building. Flip Star, man. Hey, man.  I'm so glad you brought him because now I don't have to ask you why you didn't. Bruh, this nigga, before we even ever heard this nigga say anything was already a legend to me. Like, this nigga was so funny in the dangerous video. Oh, that's on God. That nigga crazy.  That's the beautiful thing about the way we was molded and shaped from a cultural standpoint. Like, we Caribbean niggas. I'm a Jamaican nigga. He a Trinidadian nigga.  And I don't think people really understand.  Like, who her is a Jamaican nigga? You get what I'm saying?  You know what I'm saying? So, who her brought dancehall culture to the US and gave birth to hip hop culture. The only thing that changed was the type of music that was played and how it was played. But the concept is the same. So the thing about dancehall culture is the critics, the audience, the way they was raised, it was in a way where, and in particular the Jamaican people is just a proud people.      Yeah, I did comedy at Footprints in New York. Wow, that's the whole proud Jamaican. If they like you, they're just standing there. They don't.  You get one of them. All you need is one. It can be from the most random person in the whole room. But it's just how you know you're good. I think I would have gotten low.   Everybody in the club get busy. Never on T. What? Yeah, but again, like I was saying, the reason why me and Spliff work so well is because Spliff come from the same thing. And when we were shorties and we used to cut school, we was going to the hookie parties, and we was at the block parties on the block and all of that type of shit, we were studying the dancehall shit, even though we was loving hip hop too. The niggas that we studied was Chava Ranks, and Admiral Bailey, and Papa Son, and Lieutenant Stitchie, and Lecturer, these professor nuts, and these dudes that was legends in dancehall culture, and reggae music, and them dudes was the dudes that really taught you, if you would sit back and just look at some of them videotapes and listen to the sound clashes, which was like the battles and shit, and you would see the clashes that the artists would have at Sting. Sting was like a festival that they did every year. And like, Ninja Man would go against anybody and fucking. But the dance, the big clash would happen at the end of the fourth night. It'd be like four days straight of just wilding out 20, 30, 40,000 people out there not going home and just partying. And those clashes would be so detrimental that some of them just led to violence on the stage, and they could get his face bus light on stage, because the disrespect would be so crazy.     And that's what was the cheat code all the time. So, you know, I'm for the first time really like getting into like the specifics of where the ingredients came from for me and Spliff.  He was. All right, cool. So it was the same way in East Flatbush, Brooklyn.  I could tell. I could see your video. Yeah, Spliff-Spliff was crazy, but I ain't just talking about on an entertainment and a showmanship side.  So I felt like the talent that he was showing just organically like Spliff one time got into a motorcycle accident and he split his shin bone down this way. It's the same dance we see today, what do you think? Yup, yup.   Yeah, but I ain't going to say he created it because it's a dance hall. Like when, we used to call it like skanking, right?    Niggas slapping in the back of a double park car. Niggas flip by six foot, seven foot in the sky, land the way he landed the shin bone split down this way instead of crossway. Right. So you look into this nigga leg got a bone sticking out this way, so Spliff, he's here on the street. Spliff the one crying for the niggas, ambulance come. He on the crack.   Ambulance come, put Spliff in the back of the ambulance. When the door closed, you had Spliff screaming as the ambulance came out.  Couple days later, you know, Spliff come out, he got the cash on, big block party outside on the block and scrapped it to our DJ.  So he was down with a crew called TNT Crush and the niggas had the block locked.     And when leaders broke up, I was just like, I'm a need because I was so used to the group and the group supports us the most days, yeah.  Spliff at the time was still in the street. It's even before I was able to buy my own V. I come to Brooklyn, Spliff all the time, he was getting his money in the street and we're still getting into trouble in the street and then out of jail type of shit and I shot a couple times but I was seeing this talent and I was just like, I hope that I could get or garnish enough success to save this man life because I knew Bruce since I was seven. And now I'm in a position where I got a deal and this might be the only way to save, bro. He was willing to listen though. That's all you know, say that one more time? That nigga was willing to listen, you know what I'm saying? That was the most important part and he was listening at a time when he was already getting his own money because he was giving me rides to the studio. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like when I needed to get to the studio, he was my whip, you know what I'm saying? One time we going to the studio nigga had the grade 325 or the blue one. Was it the blue one? The blue three, bleep three, bleep three. All right, so we ride it to the stool. He ain't bullshitting. BAM, we get into a wild car accident.  We break out. The next day nigga pulled up in a gray one.  You need a ride to the studio today nigga?  I'm sick, I'm sick. Train. I'm havin' in. Nigga, you ain't catchin' no train, no, nigga, no rats. I was getting in that car. Nigga, the rats are bite you. But that's my brother on a whole another level when it comes to just, and he's my elder. He's a year older than me.  Right.  I ain't always gotta be a ride. You know what I mean? Sometimes you sit in the passenger seat and let the person who know how to drive this road drive it, you know what I mean? But you say you saw that in him and was able to recognize his talent. When did you recognize it in yourself? Like when did you write that rhyme that let you know I'm nice? I didn't realize that I was dope. Cause I just always believed that I was gonna be the dopest period. That was just the determination and a divine that I was claiming. Right. But I knew what I wanted to do when I was around, I say about seven, eight years old. I was being babysitted by a Panamanian woman by the name of Aunt Mitzi. She had a son named Alfonzo. My mom's was working nights. And Alfonzo used to do graffiti.   And he would create his pieces of art that he was gonna spray paint on the subway in this little black book.  And the gray motherfucker. Yeah, but he was home making them shits with shoe polish bottles and chalkboard eraser. So like, you know the chalkboard eraser from elementary school? They were like felt strips that was together.  He would empty some of the shoe polish, stick it in the shoe polish, put the top back on, screw it down, shake it up. The shoe polish became the ink to the marker. All right. This nigga was a genius. The nigga go to the subway and was bombing the subways with the marker and that the tip of the marker would be like this thick.     And these niggas would be out there him and like two other dudes.  But at two in the morning when he would leave I was too young to go with him. I understood exactly what he was doing.   I wasn't like seven or eight. I would say I was like nine or 10. This underground hip hop station, WHBI 105.9. Red Alert, the supreme team who made Buffalo Gals. Two Buffalo Gals go around the outside. Round the out, the niggas, the gods was called the supreme team who made that song with Malcolm McLaren who was an artist from Europe became a classic in hip hop. They had a time slot on this underground radio station. Africa Islam was a part of the Zulu Nation under Africa, Bambada. The awesome two Teddy Ted and Special K. So what they would do was they would get on the radio from like two in the morning to five in the morning. A lot of niggas wasn't in tune with that station all the time they was getting on.  Like Kumo D with Battle Busy D. That legendary battle. You know about that battle. Cold Crush Brothers which is who leaders model a whole shit behind against the four some D's who ended up putting records out commercially as a singing group but them niggas was MCs first. So they would play these live battles on the radio that was happening in Harlem World and these different underground clubs throughout the city and we was making pause tapes. So you know when the radio personality talked depending on which one of them time slotted was that they were spinning.   I used to go to school with them tapes in front the niggas.   Yeah. How about this. You want a copy nigga? Five dollars. Five dollars. And I was hustling these incredibly legendary hip hop moments while I was just staying up waiting for Alfonzo to come home and tell me what the story was when he went to do the bombing of the subways because it was nice this nigga would come back with the image stories about police running down on the niggas because obviously he ran the line in the subway and these niggas would come back to the crib and just had these stories and sometimes his homies would come with them. Right.  You know what I'm saying? And I'm listening to the battles and I'm like, I want to rap.  I'm like, I want to do graffiti. Right.  I wanted to deejay. I wanted to break dance. I wanted to pop.  I just fell in love with it. At that point I knew I was going to be one of the nicest niggas at one of these shits. At something. At one of these elements in the culture, I'm going to be the nicest nigga at it because I just loved it too much.  You can't do this one right here. To break dance and have a look. You have to do a rap move. You want to rap by that one. You want to do that bus. You sweat. Hey, nigga. You live with the niggas. You want to rap by that one. You got to try that one. You got to try that one.  You want to rap by that one. About to ask about another one of my favorite songs. Get a life with Rick James. Oh, and now that record is legendary. Shout to Green Lantern on the production. You a great storyteller, by the way. Thank you, King. Thank you. I'll get this.   Oh, man. You want to do my documentary, I got it. Walking freemen, boys, you narrate my time. He's doing my life story. You know, if this nigga was born, right?  No C-section badge on him. No C-section. No C-section. No C-section. The way it opened up was so magnanimous that it would break your seat. Yo, Shane, you needn't tap the pusher, though. Go. I ain't tap the pusher, though. Chico did. He's big. I think it's his great first. And I ain't even going to cap, though, like, my favorite video of all time. You and Johnny Jackson. Favorite. Thank you, bro.   That's got to be next. OK, but he got it. But he got to talk about the jacket. Like, the nigga closest thing to Jackson. I just want to know if she's smelling like that. I see what she's smelling. Beautiful. I know that mold. Is it real?  Is that mold real? Because I seen it on the other side one time. Busted like that. I wasn't looking at that. He like that. I wasn't looking at the mold. I was looking at your mouth, man. He's important. Is that my nigga, man? What's my favorite? You. All right, so with James first, they see you crazy than a motherfucker. Green Lantern sent me the beat. I'm on Aftermath. And I'm probably like two years into working on this album, The Big Bang.  I just thought it was one of the greatest gifts to be bestowed on me as a blessing. Because the beat was the perfect marriage with the vocals. And you know, when you hear the original, it's a whole other bounce, temple-wise and timing-wise.  But I knew what I felt when I heard it.  I immediately got to the joint because I wanted to make sure there wasn't no room for possibility or confusion. Nigga, you're not giving this record to nobody else.  I'm on it, it's mine, off the market, my nigga. When Dre heard the motherfucker, yeah, it was nothing else to discuss. Dre said, give me the session. So gave the session to Dre and a lot of the additional music and chords and all of that other, that's, you know, the cascade dishwashing like with sparkle was added to the motherfucker. Mad scientist, Dr. Dre. Great as hell. You know what I'm saying?  So, you know, when I seen what Dre took it to, it just was like one of the highlight moments on the Big Bang album.   And what you know, he also did the Kovacier video for me and he did the me and Mariah video as well. So all of my moments with Chris Robinson were special, just like all of my moments with Hype Williams was unbelievable. And I can't even front like the beauty of what's getting ready to happen with my new album and the visuals that I shot for him.  Oh, that's beautiful. You know what I'm saying? Like it ain't none of that. It's too late for me to compromise at this stage in my life. Like I'm just married to my way. Right. You're way perfect, man. And my way, it's always worked for me.  Right.   And it's like, just know that you appreciated for all your creativity and individual power. That's for you. Gotta give you a fly away from everyone.  Oh man.  That's great. So what made you new? Like you was a like fast rocker.  You just adjust to the beat. And what made you think that you?  You don't rap like that. You rap like Buster and Buster is your bussing. Thank you. So what made you new? Like I can't rap that slow, man.   Right. This one artist named Papa Son and this other artist named Lieutenant Stitchie.  I think back in 86, they did a sting, which again is that festival. The fourth day? Yeah. They did the fourth day and 86 is a clash against each other, battle against each other. And it's different then than it is now because now niggas that get up there and they get so flagrantly disrespectful, niggas is getting a head bust on stage. But them dudes, they would actually rehearse their battles. You know what I'm saying?     And I wasn't such an amazement looking at this shit, I just wanted to do it too. And at that time I wasn't hammering no rappers do it, no MCs wasn't doing it.  And the originators was the crew that Hove was down with after jazz up. You know what I'm saying?  Dice effects too, would you say that? Dice effects is way after that.   He started out with that. He rapped fast on what song is that, can I get a, he rapped. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  Niggas was actually commercially putting records out just from the crew he came from. And he was making records with them. I don't think he was actually one of the originators.   But you know, at the time, again, my first influence was Lieutenant Stitchie Papasan. And then me and Hove ended up going to school together and Biggie.   Yeah, I heard about this legendary battle. I ain't never heard of it. You guys, you got to break that one down. Wait, wait, whoa. She hit it. No, no, no. I thought we was about to talk about Janet Jackson, but since you brought it up. Now you're talking about Janet, but I want to know who, who, who, who, who, who. But, but, but. Like, like, like, like, I'm, I'm gonna lead up to that because ultimately Hove got the best of the battle in that moment because I was, I was just starting to figure out how to master my fascination with the speedbap. He was already on it.     I mean, it's interesting though because there's a lot of incredible speedwrapping MCs. Twister. Only two.  I'm gonna be honest though, Technon a dangerous motherfucker too now. Technon, I kinda like the Godfatherness, I don't think. Technon, that's.   Uh-oh, uh-oh, Tim is out, Tim is out. I know, take nine, two, don't, Tim is out.     You give, get back to me on that after you do that on record.  But you said that, what you just said about it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I didn't take anything on that. Every record you got on, you with the gold. No, King, but you just said it. I said a nigga named Technon. Okay, yeah. When he come to rapping real fast, he might get you. Okay, see, now, now, and I understood you perfectly. More definitely. Technon is my brother. No, they're.  But I think if you speak to Technon directly about what you just said, rightfully so, he's supposed to believe that he's the nicest on the records that we've got on the gather though. I ain't never heard of that. Okay, see, that's what I'm getting ready to tell you. You might need to go visit Worldwide Chopper. Damn. You might need to go and listen to that record.  I'm Worldwide Chopper. Worldwide Chopper. It's Worldwide Chopper. He's gonna ride the AK, nigga, that's what I'm talking about. You gotta excuse me, OG, I grew up, and listen to the gospel. Nail on the murder. I got a question. I'm gonna lie in the woods and all that. Oh, he, oh, he. She's going crazy. Speaking on that, like, speaking on rap and what other people, some of my favorite albums that she was on that a lot of people might not know is the Violator album. Oh, absolutely. The Violator album. That's the piece of Chris Lattie. Yes, sir.  Well, it was so many MCs. It was a logo for that Violator. Oh, man, thank you, my brother. Like, it was so many MCs on the Violator albums. Like, what type of motivation did it give you to be amongst all of them great MCs like that? Because, you know, you had LLU. I mean, it was crazy. So when you went in the studio and heard them verses from all of them guys, like, how did that motivate you to push yourself to become a better MC? Before the Violator albums, I was fans of them dudes that ended up coming to Violator. LL is the reason I wrote my first rhyme. LL. My very first rhyme, I wrote, I was 12.  LL made me write my rhyme.  You just, back then it was cool to sound like a hard sloth nigga.  Yeah, because his rap was sloth. You know what I'm saying? And the niggas ain't cursing any records.  I eliminate parks, cut them up in chunks. You know what I'm saying? So neatly.   And you know, it was everything. It was the whole embodiment. He was hip hop when you just looked at the motherfucker. No, rapper can rap. The tangles you do. I take a muscle bound man and put his face in the sand.  You know what I'm saying?  You know what I'm saying? Like them niggas made you believe it.  And I was just hanging on my favorite niggas on my wall where I came and slick Rick and LL and Chuck Dean and Public Enemy. All them niggas was on my wall. Run DMC, Fat Boys. Every one of them was on my wall. I wake up and I just be in my room looking at these niggas every day. Go to see Brown Crept from leaders of the new school. His room was the same way. And we be in them niggas, we be in Brown Room and we was writing the leader songs. Most of the leader songs we wrote was in Charlie Brown Room and it's Crept because his room just had every nigga you wanted to be like on the wall. So you just look at these niggas, the hip hop mural and museum of niggas.  Violator was the Avengers in hip hop. And it wasn't no clique, whether it was a group of MCs that were signed to a label like Rocker Fellow or Rough Rider, Death Row. There wasn't no management company like Violator neither. And it was just something else going on because Violator started, it was given birth to after Rush Management ended. Chris Lighty was a management rep at Rush Management. So under Leo Cohen and Russell Simmons when they had Rush Management and Def Jam at the same time, they was managing a lot of the shit they had signed to Def Jam. We ain't gonna get into that. No, because you know at this point I'm gonna tell you where we know what that is. Right, right, right, right, right, right. It's like what we doing about it. It was okay, it was fine. Must have left.  But the point that I'm trying to make is they dismantled Rush Management and I think Leo just came in one day and told Chris Lighty and all the other management reps y'all could pick from the litter.  So Chris took leaders, tribe, daylight, jungle brothers. Started Violator. Daylight left, tribe left, jungle brothers left. Leaders broke up. I stayed with Chris. So he was all that I knew.  I ain't know nobody else like that and I wasn't comfortable with nobody else like that. Besides Chuck D and Hank Shockley that's who gave birth to me. I got my name, Buster Rimes from them niggas and leaders of the new school came from Chuck. Chuck gave me my name, Chuck gave leaders our name but he wasn't trying to manage nobody. So I still needed Chris. Now I was the only Violator artist. Woo-ha come out, golden four weeks, platinum and eight weeks. The coming first album come out in 96. Golden six weeks, platinum and two months.   But this is before the album came this is how niggas was talking. So when the album came and we was able to get it right and the success came with it and shit started sticking against the wall and the numbers was on the scoring board niggas respected it in a whole another way. That's when the attraction and the appeal of Violator started to look sexier and no other dynamic the artist, niggas was like, oh we see our niggas? Niggas didn't even know that. We might need to pull up. Right, that was you who started that Dungeon Dragon. Who didn't know? The younger generation of hip hop. No I couldn't agree with that.  But that's what I'm saying. I'm 29 man. A lot of people, that's the younger generation heard it first when Nicki Minaj said it on the verse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get what I mean, like that brought it back to be like what you didn't know where that came from. So that was that moment. And I appreciated her for doing that. You know what I'm saying? I really, She the go too. I appreciated that record and I actually got on the remix of that record it never officially became a remix but I sent her the verse and she fucked with it and she actually brought me out at the Hammerstein ballroom in New York one time to do that verse live at a show that she had one time.   One of my particular favorite verses.  And it was Mona and Kris. Love the hip hop Mona. Yeah, Mona ran. She deepened the hip hop guys. Mona, Mona, Mona ran, Violator with Kris.    Mona broke it down. Higher learning and all of our movies. Mona was bringing all of that. She was making me go to the readings. She was lining me up with the casting agency, the agencies that was bringing them opportunities to the table. That was Mona. You know what I'm saying? Kris was making sure that the renegotiations for the record deals was in several motherfucking Ems and the publishing deals was disrespectful Ems, too. I love trying to get some disrespect.  You bitch-ass nigga! All this respectful money we've been getting. You gotta get some disrespectful stuff. Y'all make your niggas get nasty.   I'm a bum-ass nigga, Mona. You bum-ass nigga.  Look at this for me. You bum-ass nigga. To talk to you, nigga's crazy. He got a cape and everything. I'm gonna get crazy. He got disrespectful Ems. I got that, what you about to do, Mona? Right. What's that for this?   And the only reason that I have a new manager now, which I got a big up incredibly legendary Steve Rifkin who founded Loud Records, a small manager, and the legendary Abe Blitz who used to manage Dice Effects is my co-manager. So I got some real iconic hip hop motherfuckers on my team that has been a part of my growth for the entire journey. And if Chris didn't die, I probably would still be with Chris, you know what I'm saying? And once Chris passed, the whole violator just dismantled completely. You know, Chris was an incredibly significant leader, you know what I'm saying? And that was a replaceable leadership quality, you know what I mean? He was the heartbeat. He was the veins.  So it couldn't move. It couldn't continue without him, which is unfortunate because, again, we had Voltron, Transformers, and Avengers all mixed together. Right. You still in the picture. You got two of the Infinity Stones on right now. That nigga got two of them motherfuckers on right now. They going crazy. And my Jesus is chillin'. Yeah. Two of the Infinity Stones. I've been looking like this nigga got on M rules in the movie. That nigga going crazy. Might be called Captain Planet in this motherfucker. You get them up to the sky. We got a backtrack where they didn't even get to go to the next round. Come on, the mole, man. Come on. All right. But you match with the mole. What you want first with Janet? How that whole thing came together? Listen, that whole thing with y'all getting them suits.  What's it going to be? The craziest record ever, my God. Thank you, kid. Right, craziest. Thank you, Ben. I mean, that was a dream come true moment for me. I done told the story before. I love Janet since as early back as I can remember when she was penny on good times. Right. You know what I mean?  And you know, just all of the different moments. But I think the moment that really just was mind blowing for me was just to hear her say my name. I know what you mean. It's so many. I just want to hear my name. I'm just going to hear my name. I just wanted just to know that I was on her radar. She knew you. That was crazy. To hear my name come out of her mouth when she did the interview with Angie Martinez at the time, the legendary voice in New York, boss lady Angie Martinez when she was at 97. I think Janet was on tour for the Velvet Rope album. And she was doing promo for the Velvet Rope tour. She was performing at the Garden. So she went and did an interview with Angie Martinez. And I'm driving in the city and Angie asked her what rapper that she never worked with before, that she's interested to work with. Because she had never collabed with a rapper at this point in time outside of Heavy D.  So after the Heavy D collabs, she ain't really mess with no rappers for a long period of time. And I guess Angie thought that that was interesting. So she asked her. And then she just said, I would like to work with Busta Rhymes. And she ain't saying no other rapper's name.   I pulled over. Because I knew I was going to do something wrong. No, you got to call somebody. Niggas, I did, I did my nigga. What cockroaches would it carry about? Niggas. I called Mona immediately. And I was like, Mona, I just heard Janet say my name on the radio. That's crazy. I need you to get in touch with Janet and tell Janet that I have a song for ready to go immediately. Drop my blood. She sounded so good. I ain't have no song though. You just had it. It was the place game. It was the place game. Niggas was capping. I was super capping. I ain't have no song. But I wasn't losing this moment. So Janet, Mona got in touch with Janet's people. And then they worked it out for us to get on the phone.  Because I didn't want to say nothing wrong. That was going to ruin the opportunity. Kept it short and sweet.  So we ended up finding the record. And the young lady that wrote the hook to the beat, she killed it. Killed it.  Did that got the song to the queen? She heard the joint. The feedback was amazing. Now it was time to book the studio session. Book the studio session.  Security had to come in advance the whole situation and make sure it was appropriate for her to walk into that space. Did the research on what kind of flowers she liked, what kind of candles she liked, what kind of niggas she liked, what kind of fragrance she liked. And had everything lined up. Right. Then we get to the studio. And she came a little bit after I got there. And when she got there, when I heard she was there, I left out the room because I had another room so I could finish my raps. And I knew she needed to record so I didn't want to be a man not being productive while she was laying her verses, stacking her vocals and all of that. So I said, I'm gonna go on another one.      Right.  I want to tell every motherfucking body but niggas can't say nothing. Lovely, why no Instagram, niggas don't laugh. Wasn't none of that. What, niggas, what?  This is what you want to say, Janice, say it.  What? I call y'all back.  Oh, these niggas.  What? Yo, yo, you think a DC is crazy.  Thank you so much, Janet, to this day. I'm forever grateful. Yeah. We killed that, we killed it. One of my favorite records I listen to all the time. Record get done. Now we gotta come with the crazy video. I'm a movie buff, so I'm watching Terminator 2.   Dangerous is motherfucking lethal weapon. Janet video was Terminator 2, so I was just taking my favorite movies and just putting myself in the movies, you know what I'm saying? I'm sorry, he said, I'm not there, like, man.  I'm doing Terminator 2. So when we did the video, before we did the video and the budget came back for the video, I was like, you can't nickel them down no situation with Janet Jackson, nigga. So we gotta spend money, aye. But I definitely wasn't thinking it was gonna be this type of bag. All right. This is a 10, 2.4 million dollar video budget. Yeah. So at that time, it was just. Man, nigga's getting 25,000. Girl. Yes, dad.  Yes, dad.  Niggas, I'm gonna buy the camera. You press the car. You come at it, nigga. Right. Three scenes. In the house, on the porch, and in the yard. In the yard. Whole video. What? But yeah, 2.4 million for the video.    We was building these production sets in its entirety.  But a lot of that budget came from this special effects company that we used at the time, which was the hottest effects company because they did the effects for the Titanic movie.   And they took the company was called Digital Domain. That was a special effects company. But the video took about three, four months to get completed because of the special effects. But when I walked on a set and the dress that Janet got on, the whole ensemble, I walked on a set and, you know, she had these long nails and she had these little rings on them, the end of the nails and different size rings all over the shit. So I'm looking at the situation and I'm trying to understand.   You should have let it into that, my nigga.  Nigga, she said this to me and I was just like, wow, all right.   Cock rings.  Yeah, nigga, stop talking that talk while I'm on this set, man. I just don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm on this set, man. I just wanted to say it one time just so I could put it out here. I didn't know. No, but I didn't know neither. I'm like, did he blow on you?  I was trying to understand. I was confused.   But I didn't know she was going to go into this extreme with the fit and the wardrobe. But when she explained all of that, and then we saw the designer do when the outfit was done, because the doodle created it.  He took it back. You know what I'm saying? Like, even though we had to pay to make it, none of it got still on this. I'm taking this outfit back home.   This design is legend, though. And we respected it. But Janet just made, she just put me in her own other mindset when she said that's what it was.  I don't want to put a condom on like that. Don't touch my face. Yo.   I ain't seeing where we going to put that.  That magic again. I don't know if I felt it like that. That was that.  You know, me and Mary J.  I was blessed and honored to be rocking with her since her first album, 411. She put me on that. And Missy and Mariah, you know what I'm saying? Big up to Jaune too. They was on my first album. Not slight nothing from none of these beautiful queens and I'm going to continue to make iconic moments with them moving forward. They ain't a remix without you on that bit, bro. Oh, no. Especially long remakes, maybe a lot of niggas. She must probably be like, yeah, I'm going to wait to that boy to mention the niggas. I don't even care. We ain't as much to coming on. No, thank you, bro. But you know, it's, it's, it's, throughout the 29 years of doing this, man, it's been so many legendary moments, man. It's, it's, it's, we're going to probably need a two, three, four part series with the interviews, with this interview because it's just so much golden moments to share. You know what I'm saying? The, the jannyship was incredible too.  I'm the first rap dude, Stevie Wonder, collabed with on the Big Bang album. Man. Yeah. I got to grab my pen.  Stevie. He gon' hear about that. Yeah, he gon' hear about it.  You know that. Yeah, yeah. Stevie, it hurts. It's like who is this person? I must be around you. Yeah, that's, that's my tourist big brother though. That's my big tourist brother. And, and we actually got some new magic in the works coming soon. I hope I, I, I, I, I, we got, we got another monster getting ready to come soon. It's, this is probably my, my third collab with him because I also did something on his time to love album that came out through Universal Motown a few years ago.  I'm the young bull. I'm the young tourist brother of his.  So, it's, it's, it's, it's these kind of blessings that I done, I keep getting bestowed on me to be able to, you know, look at these moments and be like, how could you not continue to have the passion and the fire to want to do it. You know what I'm saying? Like, niggas is in trouble if they think that I'm going to stop.                I've taken 11 years to finish this new album. In addition to what the new album is going to be as an experience in itself, and it's called Extinction Level Event Two.  Thank you brother. And it's ill that the first song you bring up is not what you ask it for. Don't give it to me, bro. You know what I'm saying? That was on Extinction Level One. That's a 22 year old go-out.  What they talking about? I've just been trying to tell niggas about this time that's coming. Real hip hop. Real hip hop. Oh, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. You already know. So check this out. We had the Big Family gift from Goodymobo that you told us about the exact moment when you brought the Behold of Pale Horse. And now tell me the story. We used to be, first of all, big up to Dallas Austin. Yeah, real big ups. Super duper big up to Dallas Austin. I don't think people understand how significantly important he is to this culture and how the shift of the young black executive was ushered in really via him. A lot of niggas don't understand that.    And nobody was doing that. Motherfucking right.  With his bread and with his resume and Clive Davis loved Dallas. Big up to Clive Davis too. But he loved Dallas. Dallas, when I broke up with leaders, Dallas reached out to me and told me to come to the A. Dallas gave me the flip mode logo. Niggas don't even know that. I got the flip mode logo from Dallas because Dallas heard about Rampage and he was like, I love what you're doing, boss. I think it's time for you to become an executive though. Like let's do something with Dallas. I mean with Rampage, I'm gonna sign you to give you a production deal through Rowdy.   I'm still trying to figure out my next move because I still didn't have the courage enough to want to do a whole solo album. So I got on my feature game and when the leaders broke up from 93 to 96, my way of getting to the bag quick because I was the first one to have a child and leaders of the new school. So I had to find ways to feed my son.  So I'm calling the studios to find out who in there. And at the time I was already popping from scenario. So Niggas wanted to hear from Buster Roms. So I called Niggas Studio Sessions to find out who in there. This is how the feature game got by. Who in there bitch? I'm pioneering the feature by the way Niggas. Hold up! I just said, I just said, I just said I pioneered the feature.      Move! Now but the way that used to happen was you know I'm trying to make sure I find money. Feed my child. Call the studio Sessions to see who in there. Find out who in there. Go to the bud spot. At the time this was before.   Everybody loved to burn the chocolate though. I take a hundred dollars. About five, twenty bags.   Still to the day. Slowest burning cigars, my nigga. I don't like them.  But they burn slow.   They sligging crazy.  Yeah but I would go in these sessions and I pop up and I would just had a weed steaming and niggas would smell it. Everybody wants smoke. Everybody wants smoke.  You ain't leaving without your bud and all the niggas are smoking.  I get them doing a little gun, a little dungeon dragon growling in the corner.  I'm talking to myself. That's brilliant.  As I finish down doing these niggas, I'm popping up. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Keep smoking. They didn't forget what they verse in it. So how you did it wasn't like... Yeah, I'm doing all of that. Exactly, nigga. Just like that. After I write my shit, I'm saying it to myself. But then I get to moments where I gotta do what I actually gotta do on the verse in a boat. So if I got the dungeon dragon growling in the corner, so I'm going to do it loud enough for the room to hear it, but not hear it. Then they want to hear what I'm saying. Okay, now turn the mic on and you go do it in a boat.  They can't hear the song without that verse no more. Right.   Can you send that invoice for me please brother?  And I didn't have to split it with no crew and I didn't have to recoup it from no budget.     I seen that you were dancing.  I'm tired of asking I'm just gonna ask you when give me some of that pussy, baby Give me some of that pussy girl. The last time that I had it it was automatic You told me to go touch it.   How are you bro?


So next, SEO is vital, whether you're writing an article or optimizing your Google Ad Grant account. In this next demo, Sarah Simons, Head of Strategy and Training at Cause Inspired Media, will show you how you can use Google's built-in free keyword planner tool to efficiently research new keywords. Well, I am Sarah, the Head of Strategy and Training at Cause Inspired. Cause Inspired is a full-service digital marketing agency designed specifically for nonprofits. We run ads, build websites, but most importantly of all, we're known for Google Ad Grant Management. In line with Google Ad Grant Management and all Google Ads Management, I wanted to talk to you today about Google's free keyword research tools. So whether you're looking for ways to advance your Google search ads or optimize your website content, this is the tool for you. So first, why should you care about keyword research? For SEO purposes, such as content writing, through your website, keyword research really ensures that you're spending your time writing what people are searching for. It hurts to invest a lot of time into a topic that no one is searching for, so you can always make sure that your topics are less competitive and optimized for seasonal search volume as well with these tools. For Google Ads, things are a little bit more cut and dry. At a baseline, you just have to do keyword research to be successful in Google Ads. So this way you know which keywords are most affordable, which ones have the most search volume and which ones are just worth your time. You can also reverse engineer these tools so you can actually optimize your content on your website for keywords that you want to rake well for in Google Ads. So why would I recommend Google Ads as keyword research tool? Three reasons. The first is that it's free, so anyone can access it. All you need is a Google Ads account. The second is that it is easy to use. You can copy and paste directly from it. And then the last part is that it's really accessible.  All right, so let's go ahead and give it a test. There we go. And this is what it looks like. If you already have a Google Ads account, you can access your keyword planner by going to tools and settings in the top right here. And it is all the way over here in the left in the planning section. And you get two options. The first option is to discover new keywords. That's where we're going to start today. Let's say I'm a non-profit and I'm prepping for my annual appeal or end of your giving. And I want to find some good keywords centering end of your giving. I'm going to go ahead and put that in and select get results. Immediately you'll see a plethora of keywords have come up. It looks like 35 total keywords here. And Google is giving us some good initial information. One, here's how many average monthly searches we have. Two, here's our three month change. Is it going to increase in the next three months or are we going to plan for a decrease? What does the year over year change look like? How is our competition? And then what's the cheapest bit on these keywords? What's the highest bit on these keywords? So immediately I can see that my keyword end of your giving. It's got about 880 searches a month. I know that with a 5% click through rate, that's really not going to be enough. So maybe I want to select some other keywords here. Maybe I want to broaden my search. And immediately I can see Google suggesting I try bidding on charitable giving. I'm going to add that in, get my results. And now I've got 1184 keywords available to use. And I can actually just select the ones here that I think are really trendy donor advice funds is really trendy. So perhaps I could write a blog about how you could set up a donor advice fund for my nonprofit. So I'm going to go ahead and select them in that checkbox and copy them. You can paste that into a Google sheet, a Google doc, share it in an email, or you can select the next option here, which is get search volume and forecast, paste those keywords right in, select get started. And now you have your forecast for search volume. You can actually download this report in the top right here if you want to pass it along to any stakeholders on your team or your team members in general. And this shows your average monthly searches, your three month change and your year over year change as well. So quick review one, you can use discover new keywords to simply discover new keywords. You can actually insert your landing page directly into it, or you can just start off with some keywords that you're interested in. And then the other section is really used to help you get search volume for your existing keywords. So you can figure out if what you are bidding on or what you're writing about is being searched or is trendy. And to wrap it up here, you can actually get started just by creating a Google ads account at ads.google.com, or if you're a qualifying nonprofit 501c3, you can sign up for a Google ad grant at google.com slash grants, or through a certified professional agency like Cosinspired.


We'll now look at the transition of IP networks to NGN. IP is at the core of the IP multimedia subsystem and of course the next generation network. But regarding IPv4 in particular and we'll see shortly IP version 6, we need to have a complete roadmap after understanding different aspects related to this transition. So we are going to look at the transition of IP networks to NGN in the form of these topics. The main idea of transitioning is that IP based next generation networks would essentially imply some major transformation. This transformation is going to be at the network level of course, the network being part of a service provider and in addition the way usual business runs, it's also going to be changed. We know that next generation networks is essentially a converged network, whether it is the convergence of the core and transit parts, whether it is the applications or services or it is the integration of voice, video and data. So in order to transition, the principle is going to be change the network structure and their interconnections. From the NGN reference architecture, we know we had the service stratum and the transport stratum. So we'd like to align the IP networks with essentially these two strata. Following the structure of the network, whatever IP network essential elements may be, for instance, if synchronous digital hierarchy, sonnet or any other underlying technology is being used, the first step is going to be to replace or change the underlying architecture with IP routers. This is going to result into the network ready for being declared as NGN known as the next generation access network. This is going to involve the core network as well as the transit network. Then we are going to look at the way ISP runs a certain network as a autonomous system. Traditionally, an autonomous system is defined internally by whatever intra autonomous system protocol. Externally, it is BGP that carries network related information to other networks. But now we are talking about NGN reference model. So the entities such as the resource admission control function, network attachment control function and home subscriber station like entities have to be brought into existence here as well. With these three most important entities of the reference architecture, we are going to interrelate the transport network services and the end users. IP multimedia subsystem is not only important and relevant for PSTN, PLMN migration to the NGN, but it's equally important for IP networks as well. So here we are going to need IMS implementation for AAA for the users and the resource request made by the users. IMS is going to be essentially incorporating SIP signaling and the radius advanced form known as diameter for communication between entities and databases. For instance, accessing the user profiles and their corresponding service profiles. Interconnection being a very important aspect of an IP network has now to be changed in accordance with the new requirements of NGN. For instance, in IP interconnection, ISPs traditionally work on the basis of BGP and the IP addressing is pretty straightforward because it does two things. It localizes the entity to whichever IP address is assigned and then it gives it an identifier. Here we need to provide mechanisms through which interoperability can be achieved between different NGNs each speaking its own language at the service level, control level and the transport level. Then we need mobility control function for mobile environments. And most importantly, we are going to introduce standardized interfaces. If you recall, application to network interface, network to network interface, service to network and user to network interface. Now let's look at the visual of the architecture for NGN interconnection as in IP. As we might expect, we have the customer premises, we have the edge network and we have the core network. We are going to incorporate corresponding interfaces like user to network interface, network to network interface and the application to network interface. So whatever we incorporate, we see that using standardized interfaces allows a smooth transition of IP networks to NGN.


It means a lot, especially because we are back after being away for a little bit from events and whatnot. So this post-COVID marathon is really special coming back to the spring and being able to see how the team of Pedro Martinez Foundation runners is growing every year. We have somebody that came from Italy, somebody that came from Philly. So the fact that, you know, we have committed runners, people that care about the kids and what we do, it's a great thing, it's a great feeling. It's always great to chip in. You know how I am, I love to get back. I love getting involved with everything Boston loves. The marathon is the one thing that everybody, away from the Reds, everybody seems to be looking forward to. So we feel part of it and we feel that this city has always been behind us. So we want to be behind everything Boston does too. The excitement, it's in the air and you can, you know, just see a lot of, a mixed crowd, young people, middle-aged people, people that come to support their runners. So it's just an exciting, exciting time here in Boston, marathon weekend. I'm pretty excited. It's my first Boston marathon, I've lived in Boston for four or five years, close to Boston College, so it's always been a dream. I did New York last year, hopefully I'm going to knock out all the majors, so I'm pretty excited. Boston is a special city. I'm beyond excited, it's such a privilege, I'm also very anxious. I've never run before in my whole life. I don't think I've ever gone more than three miles until I started training in February. It was just one of those things that was a dream of mine to do since I was a kid, you know, growing up in Marlboro, like this is your biggest opportunity to feel like a professional athlete with the crowds cheering, I've been to marathons before, I've seen how exciting it is, and to be able to be a part of it now, I just, I still doesn't feel real to me. This is something that it brings people together, like none other, and to know that like I grew up, this was my backyard, and now I get to actually participate, it's like, it's really a dream come true. 13 weeks ago, I never ran more than a mile in my life. I never ran a 5K, I've never run a 10K, half a marathon, nothing at all, and we got ready in 13 weeks, so I'm going to finish this for the Pedro Martinez Foundation, I'm extremely happy. Well, I'm so excited because it's my fifth marathons, and my first time in Boston, and I think that Boston Marathon is the most famous and spectacular sports event for normal people like me. I didn't decide to run until about a month and a half ago, but I've been training for about 8 months, and I was told during my training that something I just told some other people is that Monday is nothing to be anxious over, because the work is all done. Monday is just a celebration, so so long as I've been able to keep that in mind, I'm fine for Monday. I'm just here to soak all this energy, the people, happy to be in Boston with my family, and I'm just going to enjoy it. They say that the Boston Marathon finishing the Boston Marathon changes your life, so that's what I want. I'm running for the Pedro Martinez Foundation, I really believe in this mission of empowering the youth through education, sports, and nutrition, and it's also been one of my role models for the longest time ever, so that's why I chose this foundation, and we did pretty well. I ran hard for the mission, I ran hard for my family, I'm excited. Thank you for Boston, the city of Boston, thank you for Pedro Martinez for giving me the opportunity to run for your organization, and also thanks to everyone that came out to support.
