00:00:00.000 So Javi, I don't know who Tycee anyways, I'm from the 2K community, he's a 2K YouTuber, uh, he's been very, like, MIA, nobody really knew, you know, where he was, but there was jokes about, not jokes, but just crazy fuckin' conspiracies about his girl being pregnant and shit, uh, oh, and then there was a fucked up thing that somebody said he had cancer, fuckin' weirdos, bro, but anyways, um, yeah, let's just, I wanna watch this shit and see where he's been at, um, yeah.
00:00:26.280 Alright, so, for the last four months, you guys know I've been absolutely gone from YouTube, Twitch, everything, and, um, there's a reason for that, I just want you guys to know that, and I'm about to explain all of that in this video.
00:00:38.720 Now, for you guys to really understand what I'm talkin' about, and just, just how much this-
00:00:42.640 Tee Grizzly's in my chat, he just said, Gaten Ross. Hey, Tee Grizzly, everyone at Tee Grizzly, tell me how badly you wanna fuck him. 0.99
00:00:48.180 Hey, Tee Grizzly, shut the fuck up and fuck you, bitch. 1.00
00:00:50.240 Wow. 1.00
00:00:50.600 Uh, also, uh, Tee Grizzly's coming to my house, I think Friday, or Saturday, or, or Thursday, uh, we will be doing a stream as well.
00:00:59.640 Tomorrow, I already told you guys I have G Herbo coming over, uh, but Tee will be here. 0.99
00:01:04.240 Please don't, please don't do no gay shit to him, bro. 1.00
00:01:06.460 Why, will he play that? 1.00
00:01:07.500 Yeah, don't, don't do no gay shit. 1.00
00:01:08.600 You wanna get a Polo G reaction, that nigga gonna beat your ass. 1.00
00:01:11.660 And he gonna leave, the first thing you say, he gonna leave, bro. 1.00
00:01:15.500 Snaggy baby, fuck me. 1.00
00:01:17.680 I'm like, you guys can't understand why. 1.00
00:01:18.920 Please leave me alone.
00:01:19.700 Oh my god, bro.
00:01:22.240 So really quickly, basically four years ago, 2017, I was absolutely dead broke.
00:01:28.420 I was like, I think I remember a day where it was about negative 1,500 in my bank account in 2017.
00:01:33.440 That's crazy.
00:01:34.060 Um, I was working at 8 to 5 that I absolutely hated.
00:01:36.160 Now, how the hell did you have negative 1.5 in your bank account if you had an 8 to 5 job?
00:01:40.980 Well, you guys gotta understand, I finished high school at 18 and I had no other choice except to get a job, okay?
00:01:45.920 My mom couldn't afford university. 1.00
00:01:47.620 She had to work two jobs because my dad didn't have to pay child support once I turned 18. 0.97
00:01:52.340 Didn't have to make the payments and I mean my mom was behind on rent, on bills, everything. 0.99
00:01:56.500 And I was forced to work at that point basically because I couldn't go to uni.
00:01:59.120 It would just be a hellhole with all the bills that would use.
00:02:01.660 Is this showing like the other monitor?
00:02:02.580 And I just worked and worked and worked and worked and worked and worked and worked and most of it was payday to payday because I couldn't buy anything else much, man.
00:02:08.820 It was just payday to payday.
00:02:09.240 Wait, you can't see it?
00:02:10.200 And that ends up with your bank account.
00:02:11.660 It was kind of that sad environment where there were just so many people working that job who just seemed really sad and depressed and it made me depressed, man.
00:02:30.040 It was kind of, it was bad, okay?
00:02:31.540 2017, where I was working, wasn't making me happy, okay?
00:02:35.900 I was typing court cases and it was just a depressing environment.
00:02:39.040 That's really all I can say about it.
00:02:40.700 Now, long story short, every day after work I decided to push myself and I decided to say, okay, from 6pm to 1am I'm going to work and grind and stream and learn how to edit and record videos.
00:02:52.980 And I was inspired by guys like Pretty Boy Fredo, Alex K, Cash Nasty.
00:02:57.280 I actually used to watch Annoying back then, back in like 2K16.
00:03:00.940 Nate XE, just the 2K guys.
00:03:02.840 I used to play 2K all the time after school.
00:03:04.360 I used to come home and I used to, I used to jam for hours after school and I would-
00:03:08.780 Jam, you used the word jam, chat?
00:03:11.040 That's crazy. 1.00
00:03:12.160 And you guys are giving me shit for using that word. 0.99
00:03:14.240 Always consider myself to be a very good 2K player. 0.98
00:03:17.860 Just like, I don't know, I played that game so much.
00:03:20.220 I love basketball and I was just like, wow, I'm pretty good at this game, man.
00:03:23.180 My record was good, everything was good.
00:03:24.400 And I was just like, you know, why not?
00:03:26.500 Why not try?
00:03:27.780 Why not just sit there and just start recording videos? 1.00
00:03:30.180 And I said, fuck it. 0.99
00:03:31.380 Started making tutorials for 2K17. 1.00
00:03:33.060 They blow up, okay?
00:03:34.420 Some of them get some good viewership and then I move on and on and on.
00:03:37.380 And all of a sudden, from tutorials, I go to versing other YouTubers.
00:03:41.300 I go to America and I do that.
00:03:42.920 That really puts me on the map.
00:03:44.200 A lot of people find me from that.
00:03:45.660 And then we move on to wages.
00:03:47.200 And wages and 2K20, just-
00:03:49.440 Dude.
00:03:50.260 Ugh! 0.97
00:03:51.060 Wages and 2K20-
00:03:51.960 They were so good!
00:03:52.860 Pushed that game to a limit that it never should have reached.
00:03:55.620 Just based on what 2K20 was in the game, the community-
00:03:58.500 Dude, wages were so fun, bro.
00:04:01.180 The community pushed that game and the viewership and the content to new heights.
00:04:05.580 That game had no business getting millions of viewers.
00:04:07.620 I'm going to just say that.
00:04:08.620 That game had no business getting millions of viewers.
00:04:11.240 But thanks to the community, thanks to all the creators, that game did-
00:04:13.720 Oh, God, bro.
00:04:14.260 So many viewers.
00:04:14.920 We were taking over Twitch.
00:04:16.060 Oh, God!
00:04:16.520 We were great on YouTube.
00:04:17.460 And it was fantastic to see.
00:04:19.580 Oh, God! 0.97
00:04:19.920 So that was those wages and 2K20 when my life really started going fucking nuts. 0.90
00:04:24.700 I'm going to just say that, okay?
00:04:25.720 The money was flying in, going from a dude who just had nothing to nearly everything,
00:04:30.520 pretty much.
00:04:31.580 I got my mom a new car.
00:04:33.020 I got myself a new car.
00:04:34.560 I bought things I wanted to buy.
00:04:36.620 That's sick, bro.
00:04:37.440 And I was making a lot of money doing wages.
00:04:40.120 Lockdown, no lie, it helped a lot because everyone was at home and my- 0.99
00:04:43.140 Yeah, lockdown did help my shit, too. 0.99
00:04:44.740 Like, 2,000 viewers of wager. 0.98
00:04:46.100 Like, it jumped to like 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 in some of the big wages.
00:04:50.860 That was insane.
00:04:52.360 Shout out to Aiden and Bronny.
00:04:53.880 That little show that we set up was really big for me.
00:04:56.540 And obviously, it was for Aiden and everyone involved in that.
00:04:59.740 There was so much big stuff that happened in 2K20.
00:05:03.000 It was just changing my life like that.
00:05:05.720 I'm serious.
00:05:06.200 It was just bang.
00:05:07.100 And my life was just crazy, okay?
00:05:09.060 It was mad.
00:05:11.700 And then, and then-
00:05:14.320 Yo, Bronny.
00:05:15.580 Do you remember the one wager?
00:05:16.760 We had to play in, like, his servers and for 50 racks?
00:05:20.720 Yes, and we couldn't win a single game.
00:05:23.540 You remember when B was playing off a hotspot? 0.97
00:05:26.500 That was before, that was before that nigga step back rat was us. 1.00
00:05:29.720 Oh, yeah, step back rat. 1.00
00:05:31.800 No, we, we, we tricked everybody.
00:05:33.800 I texted Bronny.
00:05:34.700 I said, bro, I'm going to pretend you're on a hotspot right now.
00:05:38.160 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:38.780 And he really never was. 0.89
00:05:40.040 Me and Bronny just fucking, like, we finessed, like, thousands of people. 0.98
00:05:44.740 Oh, yeah. 0.99
00:05:46.700 No, but Aiden, think about it.
00:05:47.980 Y'all don't want that, if y'all don't want that agent, y'all never got paid. 0.97
00:05:50.360 That nigga step back up. 1.00
00:05:51.320 True. 0.92
00:05:51.840 Bronny, if it were the one, we were not going to get paid on God.
00:05:54.160 That, that dude.
00:05:55.860 200K, bro.
00:05:56.800 Are you dangerous, bro?
00:05:58.140 Nah, he's weird. 1.00
00:05:59.480 Damn. 1.00
00:06:00.400 200K? 1.00
00:06:01.800 He scammed me 20K.
00:06:03.300 He scammed me 20K.
00:06:04.340 He scammed, like, annoying 20K.
00:06:06.700 Yeah.
00:06:07.540 Everybody.
00:06:08.140 He scammed everybody, bro.
00:06:09.040 Yeah.
00:06:09.360 Jesus. 1.00
00:06:10.060 Damn. 1.00
00:06:10.240 He took, he took 200K and left, bro. 1.00
00:06:12.360 It's crazy.
00:06:12.820 I ain't that middle man.
00:06:14.280 2K21 comes out.
00:06:15.520 Let's be real now.
00:06:16.260 Who, who here actually is going to tell me and sit in my, sit in the front of my face and
00:06:19.260 say 2K21 is a great game?
00:06:21.000 Let's be real.
00:06:21.440 The game is not good on next gen or current gen.
00:06:23.600 It's possible.
00:06:24.020 So bad.
00:06:24.640 It's a game that you can play, but it's not a game that you love or that you really want
00:06:27.780 to play and grind.
00:06:28.540 It's just not that game.
00:06:30.280 And it's sad because 2K20 was such a good game, but it was the creators that pushed it there,
00:06:34.180 like I said.
00:06:35.200 Now, this is where the thing, this is where my problem started, okay?
00:06:38.500 This is where everything got really interesting for me because it was in this little transition
00:06:43.420 period between 2K20 and 2K21.
00:06:45.760 A few months ago, about four months ago, just when I stopped uploading, I got offered, I
00:06:52.380 got offered 1.2 million US dollars, okay?
00:06:56.680 I got offered 1.2 million US dollars by a rival company to Twitch, to stream exclusively
00:07:02.800 on their platform and to grind on their platform.
00:07:04.980 So that, I, so, so I knew that, I'm not going to leak my DMs to Tycino, but Ty told me
00:07:11.260 that months ago.
00:07:12.300 And, uh, that's the reason why he was, I don't know, I think he was a gun assigned, but he
00:07:16.400 didn't.
00:07:17.720 It took him four months to decide.
00:07:19.560 Yeah, I don't blame him though.
00:07:20.900 I don't blame him.
00:07:21.760 Yeah, it is a hard decision, bro. 1.00
00:07:22.900 Damn! 0.99
00:07:23.640 It's like, how much? 1.00
00:07:24.480 2.1?
00:07:25.400 No, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2.
00:07:27.180 1.2?
00:07:28.180 1.2?
00:07:28.760 A year?
00:07:29.860 A year.
00:07:31.440 A lot of money.
00:07:32.560 That's a lot of money.
00:07:33.380 But he already got money, so like, he don't need it.
00:07:34.840 He has, he has bread, yeah.
00:07:36.600 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:37.820 Now!
00:07:38.280 Look, he already got.
00:07:39.180 What would it take up?
00:07:39.740 You guys see why I said at the start I was broke in 2017, okay?
00:07:43.220 You guys gotta understand, for someone to go from broke to getting offered over a million
00:07:47.140 US dollars, in the span of three to four years, that is not something you can process
00:07:52.820 easily, okay?
00:07:53.520 That's something you have to think about, you have to sit down about, you have to be like, 0.99
00:07:55.760 what the fuck am I saying? 0.97
00:07:56.720 Chad, would you guys take it? 0.98
00:07:58.320 And, um, it wasn't easy, okay?
00:08:00.380 I had to, I had to sit down, I had to think, I had to be like, okay.
00:08:03.360 Nah, Chad, it's, it's three, it's three years.
00:08:06.300 He's guaranteed a mil each year. 1.00
00:08:08.560 Bitch, you're talking about, think about it, nigga, I would've took that bitch in rain with 1.00
00:08:11.100 it. 1.00
00:08:11.200 Bitch, you dumbass, I would've slept with it, buried with it, followed with it, I would've 1.00
00:08:14.580 woke up with it. 1.00
00:08:15.080 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you got me fucked up. 0.99
00:08:17.840 I'm not getting any phone call on God, Chad. 0.99
00:08:20.740 On God, I'm not.
00:08:22.080 Wait, would you take five mil for three years?
00:08:24.900 No.
00:08:25.440 What?
00:08:25.940 Five mil? 1.00
00:08:27.120 What the fuck? 1.00
00:08:27.940 I love Twitch, bro. 1.00
00:08:28.900 On God, I'll never leave Twitch.
00:08:30.160 I can't.
00:08:31.180 I don't even want to.
00:08:31.860 You gotta leave Twitch?
00:08:32.820 Really?
00:08:33.080 Yeah, yeah, I just wouldn't leave Twitch.
00:08:35.040 It's like, in my opinion, yeah, yeah, no, but in my opinion, yeah, no, but in my
00:08:41.040 opinion, it's like, if you go to Facebook in a way, it's kind of like, and you're selling
00:08:45.800 your soul.
00:08:46.960 Yeah, like, I feel like you're selling yourself short, because Twitch is the biggest community,
00:08:50.840 it's the best community, and the chat's the best, the community's the best.
00:08:53.440 Yeah, nah, Twitch is different.
00:08:55.600 Yeah, he has, like, Twitch is the best platform right now.
00:08:57.640 It'd be like, Chad, if I were to go sign with another, it would be like leaving you guys
00:09:00.560 for money.
00:09:01.600 Yeah, I didn't even know you had to leave in Twitch, I just wouldn't do it.
00:09:05.480 I'm not exclusive, nigga, I ain't sold my soul.
00:09:08.340 I know, I'm just saying, though, but, like, a big creator, I know, I know, but I'm saying,
00:09:13.000 I'm saying, like, I'm saying, like, if somebody, you've been shooting on Twitch so long, you
00:09:17.260 have so many views.
00:09:17.860 I'd have to, I'd have to, yeah.
00:09:19.320 No, that's different with Zane, though, because Zane got banned.
00:09:21.640 Yeah.
00:09:22.180 No, yeah.
00:09:22.700 It's not, yeah, it's not Zane, yeah, it's just, like, people, like, A&R, they do that,
00:09:26.500 that's, like, it's weird.
00:09:28.160 Facts.
00:09:28.620 Selling the community out, no cap.
00:09:30.220 You're selling your, you're selling your entire community out, bro.
00:09:33.000 Because they know when you're 15 years old, you're using Facebook, bro.
00:09:35.480 Yeah, because, Chad, do you guys see yourselves going on Facebook every day, though?
00:09:39.160 Like, come on, bro.
00:09:40.300 You're going to lose everybody, bro. 1.00
00:09:42.840 Wrinkly grandma booties and shit, right? 1.00
00:09:45.720 Ninja, ninja guy. 0.99
00:09:48.160 How much did Ninja get when he went to Mixer?
00:09:50.520 He got, like, a, he got, like, a milli.
00:09:52.540 10 mil, like, 10 mil, I think.
00:09:54.040 No.
00:09:54.260 Yeah, it was, like, no, it was not 10 mil, bro.
00:09:57.240 I think it was 50.
00:09:58.620 I think it was 50 million dollars.
00:10:01.640 Now, Chad, if someone offered me a guarantee 50 mil, bro.
00:10:07.080 Imagine not hitting that, dude.
00:10:08.640 Yeah.
00:10:10.600 Chad, like.
00:10:11.660 You got to think about the future, bro.
00:10:15.480 The future.
00:10:15.980 30 mil.
00:10:16.720 Oh, he got 30 mil.
00:10:17.640 Anything with 50 mil in your future, bro.
00:10:19.860 Anything.
00:10:20.240 You don't have a choice.
00:10:22.120 50 mil to get, right?
00:10:23.240 50 mil, bro?
00:10:24.640 Yeah.
00:10:25.380 Yeah.
00:10:26.020 And then, like, the people that come over.
00:10:27.220 You know what I mean?
00:10:27.820 If you say you're not going to take that.
00:10:29.040 No, you can give away.
00:10:30.040 You can give away every day.
00:10:31.500 Yeah, you can give away a few, like, a, like, a milli, bro.
00:10:35.000 Thousands.
00:10:35.600 Yeah, meals.
00:10:36.060 You can probably still do good on Facebook, though.
00:10:37.940 Like, you wouldn't, you wouldn't get, like, that, bro.
00:10:40.080 Yeah, you'd probably get, like, let's see, like, 20.
00:10:41.480 I still get decent over there.
00:10:42.520 Probably, like, 10, 20, maybe on Facebook.
00:10:44.540 I don't know.
00:10:45.200 I don't know.
00:10:45.660 I just wouldn't, I would, I would not do it, unless.
00:10:47.680 Me either.
00:10:48.200 I love Twitch.
00:10:49.080 Yeah.
00:10:50.160 But probably, if they offer you 5 million, you gonna take it?
00:10:53.100 All right, I'm gonna press play.
00:10:53.920 2K20, it was lit.
00:10:58.460 I was on a path to, like, big things in gaming, okay?
00:11:01.760 I'm not gonna lie.
00:11:02.500 2K20 was big.
00:11:03.820 But 2K21 comes out.
00:11:05.060 It dies down a bit.
00:11:06.420 I get offered 1.2 million.
00:11:08.140 Now, what, like, what do I do?
00:11:10.160 Do I just take that short-term 1.2 mil, grind on a platform that I'm obviously not gonna be able,
00:11:15.540 as litters on Twitch, like, Twitch is the litters streaming platform out.
00:11:19.120 And there's no buying it.
00:11:19.460 Hands down, chat.
00:11:20.560 No one can deny that.
00:11:21.420 I don't care what platform you stream for.
00:11:22.820 Right now, Twitch is the litters streaming platform out.
00:11:26.280 And, um, you just, like, to leave that for 1.2 million, I had to think about it.
00:11:32.020 I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:11:32.820 It wasn't easy.
00:11:34.000 It was a tough decision.
00:11:35.240 And, um, I had to think about my mom and my family, too, okay?
00:11:39.020 Like, I'm with a single mom, okay?
00:11:41.360 My dad left us a long time ago.
00:11:43.140 He left my mom with a lot of debt.
00:11:44.420 That's all cleared now. 0.99
00:11:45.360 That's fucked up. 0.96
00:11:46.260 It wasn't easy at times. 0.99
00:11:47.720 And just the fact that I have four, four years later, I have a 1.2 million dollar contract
00:11:52.700 offer.
00:11:55.160 I really had to sit down and think about it.
00:11:56.960 That's all I'm gonna say, okay?
00:11:58.300 So there's two things I can do here.
00:11:59.740 I can take the short-term 1.2 mil and risk losing a lot of my viewership.
00:12:03.540 Or I can play the long game with Twitch and stay on Twitch.
00:12:06.000 Now, this is the way I see it, okay?
00:12:08.500 You think of a guy like Aiden Ross.
00:12:10.080 Imagine him.
00:12:10.640 You guys know that.
00:12:11.400 He's my boy, by the way.
00:12:12.220 He's an amazing person behind the scenes.
00:12:13.760 Just so you guys know.
00:12:14.480 I know Aiden's in LA now doing all that crazy stuff.
00:12:17.900 But from what I know from my DMs with him, he's always been really humble and really cool
00:12:20.800 to me.
00:12:21.640 Shout out to him.
00:12:23.560 Think of a guy like Aiden, okay?
00:12:24.960 If he stayed on 2K, number one, let's be real now, he'd only be making 10K viewers, okay?
00:12:30.840 If he stayed on 2K, that game has a ceiling that is impossible to break.
00:12:35.360 I think that's true.
00:12:36.860 I think it's true. 0.97
00:12:37.780 And that's why I thank myself that 2K fucked up this year. 0.95
00:12:41.560 I really do. 0.94
00:12:42.920 I think if 2K didn't fuck up this year, it would put a ceiling in a cap.
00:12:47.920 Now, look.
00:12:48.820 Do you want to go back to 2K?
00:12:49.780 Whatever.
00:12:51.460 2K 2020.
00:12:52.540 Nobody averages 100K on 2K.
00:12:54.380 But listen.
00:12:54.960 But listen.
00:12:55.400 Why can't I be the first one to do it?
00:12:56.940 I'll go back to 2K22, right?
00:12:59.380 I'll play it, you know, to a degree.
00:13:02.580 It's like, it just depends.
00:13:03.540 If the game is good, people are going to watch good games.
00:13:05.840 Look at 2K16.
00:13:07.160 Fredo was pulling millions of views on 2K16.
00:13:10.060 True, true, true.
00:13:10.760 Why?
00:13:11.120 Because the game was good and he was entertaining.
00:13:12.900 That game was so fun.
00:13:14.220 So fun.
00:13:14.940 That game was so good.
00:13:16.840 Now, personally, I don't think 2K will ever be that good again.
00:13:20.680 I really don't.
00:13:21.560 I think it's impossible.
00:13:22.720 They care too much about microtransactions.
00:13:24.660 They care too much about money.
00:13:26.140 They're the type.
00:13:27.080 2K is the company that sold their souls for money. 0.99
00:13:29.960 They don't give a fuck about their community. 0.99
00:13:31.580 They don't care. 0.99
00:13:32.400 They don't listen to the community at all.
00:13:33.380 They don't care.
00:13:34.640 I don't care. 0.58
00:13:35.780 Niggas tweeting. 1.00
00:13:36.560 Niggas trending. 1.00
00:13:37.360 Bro, it's bad.
00:13:38.240 It's bad to the point where they tried to pay me money to say good things about their game. 1.00
00:13:43.060 I said, fuck no. 1.00
00:13:45.280 Bro, fix it. 1.00
00:13:47.460 That's bad.
00:13:48.360 That's so bad. 0.99
00:13:50.100 I'm not selling out to fucking. 0.99
00:13:51.560 You know what's crazy? 0.99
00:13:53.000 See, if NBA Live just get up and just like, oh my God.
00:13:56.420 NBA Live.
00:13:57.340 Dude, if NBA Live came out now, bro. 0.99
00:14:00.420 NBA Live is so dumb. 0.99
00:14:02.420 This is their chance. 1.00
00:14:03.380 This is their chance to shine.
00:14:04.420 It's their chance, bro.
00:14:05.840 I don't focus on them.
00:14:07.000 That's so bad.
00:14:07.860 We don't have any good basketball games.
00:14:10.140 It ain't that funny.
00:14:11.320 If NBA Live just grab a lot of creators and they just listen to them and they just make
00:14:18.700 the game how.
00:14:19.200 Bro, if NBA Live put a Discord together with like Ticino and like, you know, like streamer
00:14:26.460 agent, like Nade, just like a bunch of people like that, bro.
00:14:30.180 Like a bunch of people that play different perspectives of the games, man.
00:14:32.980 I'm telling you, bro.
00:14:34.060 We could get a solid game.
00:14:35.340 Oh, God.
00:14:36.140 NBA Live, this is our chance, bro.
00:14:37.920 Oh, God.
00:14:38.360 How funny, entertaining, or talented you are.
00:14:41.300 2K has a ceiling.
00:14:43.280 It's like COD used to have.
00:14:44.360 COD used to have a ceiling before Warzone came out. 0.77
00:14:46.760 And that ceiling got broken.
00:14:47.800 That's true.
00:14:48.520 But right now, 2K has a ceiling and nobody is breaking that ceiling because there is a
00:14:51.940 limit to how many viewers you can get on 2K. 0.97
00:14:54.080 2K20, we pushed that ceiling to the absolute fucking limit. 0.99
00:14:57.320 But it's back again because 2K21 is pretty ass. 0.99
00:15:00.180 Now, think of a guy like Aiden. 0.89
00:15:02.800 If he stopped and took $1.2 million, like 2K was dying now, he took $1.2 million, he
00:15:08.540 never would have had the blowout that he had because he would have left Twitch and he
00:15:11.180 would have went somewhere else, taking $1.2 million.
00:15:13.120 Yeah.
00:15:13.740 But Aiden right now is making millions and millions and millions.
00:15:16.260 He's making way more than that.
00:15:17.020 Bro!
00:15:18.000 That's not even...
00:15:18.500 Yo, Harambe, there's going to five gifted subs. 0.99
00:15:20.860 Yo, yo, yo, Ticino, chill out, bro.
00:15:23.040 That's not true.
00:15:24.420 Hey, no, but I want to say, you know, the thing is, it just comes down to it.
00:15:28.040 It's like, you guys got to know not to just sell yourselves out for short.
00:15:31.380 Like you said, like, 2K was a cap.
00:15:33.800 I remember I used to talk in Disco Recoff and Snaggy Bo and like, be like, bro, like, what
00:15:38.000 do we do? 1.00
00:15:38.540 We're fucked. 1.00
00:15:39.040 Yeah, like, what's next? 1.00
00:15:40.360 Like, what's next? 1.00
00:15:40.720 Like, we're fucked. 1.00
00:15:41.560 Like, bro. 1.00
00:15:42.600 I mean, I used to come up...
00:15:43.300 I remember I came up with this gaming show because it was so bad.
00:15:45.760 I tried to come up with... 0.99
00:15:46.300 Oh, yeah, that Family Feud shit. 0.99
00:15:47.980 You know what I'm saying? 0.99
00:15:49.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:50.920 Hey, nigga, I'm about to do Family Feud on Twitch. 1.00
00:15:52.900 Like, that shit was bad, man. 1.00
00:15:54.180 But, like, the thing is, it's fucked, bro. 1.00
00:15:57.760 And then, like, E-Date and GTA. 0.99
00:15:59.660 Yeah, thank God E-Date, bro.
00:16:00.760 And GTA was the way it was.
00:16:02.780 Shout out to Tee Grizzly because if it wasn't for Tee Grizzly, I wouldn't be where I'm at. 0.97
00:16:05.400 And, you know, like, in the GTA world because GTA, you know, Tee Grizzly fucking... 1.00
00:16:11.240 That motherfucker made that shit. 1.00
00:16:13.080 Like, he connected, like, rap to me. 1.00
00:16:15.780 Tee Grizzly was the ultimate connection to get me in the rap game.
00:16:18.400 Like, when it came to, like, collaboration-wise.
00:16:20.840 You know what I mean?
00:16:21.120 He's like the first artist, right?
00:16:22.820 Like, the first big artist.
00:16:24.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:16:25.580 For sure he is.
00:16:26.160 Y'all should be, like, on TikTok first.
00:16:28.460 No, get Soulja Boy in his pop.
00:16:29.840 Oh, Soulja Boy.
00:16:30.260 He's talking to me. 1.00
00:16:30.580 Bitch, don't fuck you. 1.00
00:16:31.560 Yo, yo, nobody knows his name. 1.00
00:16:33.460 Your mic is white.
00:16:34.180 Oh, no, you're right.
00:16:34.800 Soulja Boy 2.
00:16:37.100 Oh, yeah, from Among Us.
00:16:38.780 That was funny.
00:16:39.600 That was weird.
00:16:40.240 Yeah.
00:16:41.120 My God, I miss Among Us, bro.
00:16:43.300 But, yeah.
00:16:44.860 See, why can't we get a game like Among Us?
00:16:47.420 Why can't we not get a game?
00:16:48.460 How long do you want to play, bro?
00:16:49.700 Can we play?
00:16:51.000 It's not going to hit.
00:16:52.060 It's not going to hit.
00:16:53.140 I don't think.
00:16:54.260 It might.
00:16:55.440 You know there's a new map.
00:16:56.160 You know there's a new map, right?
00:16:57.280 They updated.
00:16:57.960 They updated.
00:16:58.540 They updated.
00:16:58.820 I'm new map.
00:16:59.360 Yeah, there's a new map here.
00:16:59.800 Y'all want to play?
00:17:00.340 Y'all want to play?
00:17:00.800 Oh, God, I'll play. 1.00
00:17:02.420 Oh, I want to watch some shit. 1.00
00:17:03.320 That sounds fun, bro. 1.00
00:17:05.760 I feel like playing it off-street would be better.
00:17:09.440 But I don't know.
00:17:10.100 We'll play.
00:17:10.460 I'm down.
00:17:10.980 I'm down. 1.00
00:17:11.320 This is what I want to watch some shit. 0.99
00:17:12.100 What game you got to talk about? 0.99
00:17:13.720 Among Us.
00:17:14.440 Among Us.
00:17:15.720 Yes, I remember the Kool-Aid collab.
00:17:17.100 Oh, my God.
00:17:17.600 That was so toxic.
00:17:18.480 He is making way more than a million dollars a year.
00:17:21.580 Let's be real now.
00:17:23.060 And he would have missed out on every single bit of that if he had taken a salad offer like
00:17:27.600 that.
00:17:28.240 That's the way I see it, okay?
00:17:29.720 Now, that's just what I mean, okay?
00:17:30.860 He would have had the money, but he never would have blown up like he did.
00:17:33.540 And that comes into the whole thing.
00:17:34.720 Do you take the short-term 1.2 mil, or do you go long-term with Twitch and play this game
00:17:38.800 out?
00:17:39.000 I'm only 24, okay?
00:17:40.300 You guys got to remember that.
00:17:41.080 I'm young.
00:17:41.760 I've got so many years ahead of me with this.
00:17:43.820 And that's what I was thinking about, okay?
00:17:45.720 You guys think about music careers like rappers and stuff.
00:17:48.300 A lot of them sign these big-ass advances on these contracts.
00:17:51.600 They'll get, what, $800K a million, 1.2 mil, 1.5 mil.
00:17:54.260 They will sign these big advances on these contracts because as soon as they start blowing
00:17:58.240 up, bang, a label's in your air.
00:18:00.220 And they're like, yo, we'll offer you 1.5 mil if you sign with us for the next three years 0.98
00:18:03.460 and you do this and you make this many albums, all that bullshit. 0.99
00:18:06.480 And a lot of artists get fucked over by these labels like that, okay? 0.99
00:18:10.280 And it's kind of becoming a thing in gaming. 0.92
00:18:11.880 There's a lot of shady gaming deals out there now too.
00:18:14.500 And it's just becoming crazy.
00:18:16.500 Now, I'm not saying at all that my deal was shady.
00:18:18.520 It was actually a very, very open, good offer.
00:18:21.400 I'm here to announce to you guys that after thinking about everything, after sitting down 0.98
00:18:26.280 and after four months of just being like, what the fuck do I do? 0.88
00:18:30.960 By the way, I also had a good break during these four months. 0.96
00:18:32.860 I don't want you guys to think that I was just out here stressing the whole time.
00:18:35.320 Okay, I did have a good break overall.
00:18:37.000 It was good for me as a content creator.
00:18:38.780 You guys know burnout and all that.
00:18:40.040 But after these four months, I have decided that I am going to stay on Twitch.
00:18:47.300 Okay, I've talked to Twitch and they are really keen to keep me on.
00:18:51.620 They want to offer me a custom sort of contract that I can't really talk about.
00:18:55.620 But it is, it's good.
00:18:57.660 Okay, it's good.
00:18:58.840 So, your boy is going to be back and staying on Twitch.
00:19:02.640 I'm starting again early May.
00:19:04.860 So this month, I'm starting again sometime early May.
00:19:06.760 I haven't decided exactly my start date yet.
00:19:08.560 I kind of want to set something big up for the first few days.
00:19:11.280 Come on, Aiden.
00:19:11.880 The blockbuster wages are going to return.
00:19:13.720 Come on, Aiden.
00:19:14.340 I'm on 2K for now, but...
00:19:15.900 You want to do a wager?
00:19:16.800 Here's my thing.
00:19:17.620 Let's do the return, Aiden.
00:19:18.900 Like, come on, bro.
00:19:19.840 100K, that's easy.
00:19:22.040 Tyson Universe, Aiden, the return.
00:19:23.240 For $100,000, you said?
00:19:25.220 Nigga, I'm sorry, that's going to get 100K views, bro.
00:19:28.200 No, look, again, when it comes to viewers, it is what it is.
00:19:31.560 I know a lot of people...
00:19:32.400 I'm saying, like, you remember you said you could break that off of Twitch?
00:19:37.140 This is it.
00:19:38.460 But I don't want to give 2K...
00:19:39.960 Like, the game is...
00:19:41.400 I feel you because, bruh, giving 2K that attention...
00:19:45.020 Yeah, like, they don't deserve it.
00:19:47.280 But listen, after that wager, it's not like we're going to be playing, like, every day.
00:19:50.620 So, hey, I got a question for y'all.
00:19:51.900 Y'all think they're going to listen to me.
00:19:52.880 We got to bring the O. 0.99
00:19:54.500 Damn. 0.98
00:19:54.800 You know what I heard? 0.99
00:19:56.600 I heard that they finished making 2K22 already.
00:19:58.700 Y'all hear me, bro.
00:19:59.840 No way they already made 2K22.
