00:00:00.040 Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice.
00:00:04.800 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.
00:00:07.940 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.
00:00:12.200 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.
00:00:15.740 An IG Private Wealth Advisor creates the clarity you need
00:00:19.060 with plans that harmonize your business, your family, and your dreams.
00:00:23.480 Get financial advice that puts you at the center.
00:00:26.440 Find your advisor at igprivatewealth.com.
00:00:30.000 Who's the first big name that targeted you when you started getting momentum?
00:00:34.040 Because, you know, there's a lot of beef in rap,
00:00:36.480 and you've had many of them.
00:00:37.440 You've had 50 Cent, Drake.
00:00:39.980 It wasn't no one that really targeted me.
00:00:42.480 It was a good chance I initiated it.
00:00:47.460 Got it.
00:00:48.200 Right.
00:00:49.040 Intentional.
00:00:49.960 Yeah.
00:00:50.880 Have you ever read the book 40 Laws of Power?
00:00:53.140 I have.
00:00:54.860 I know Robert Greene personally.
00:00:56.980 Great guy.
00:00:57.500 He's a friend.
00:00:58.700 He just posted my new book that I just released for me.
00:01:01.460 Thank you, Robert.
00:01:02.560 Most definitely.
00:01:03.980 Yeah, I mean, so do you think there's a lot of that going on in hip-hop?
00:01:08.700 40 Laws of Power, the things he talks about?
00:01:11.460 It may be a little bit of it, but it'll be a lot more success.
00:01:15.740 It'll be a lot more wealth if they was really focusing the way they should.
00:01:21.060 What do you mean? 0.96
00:01:21.860 I mean, there's a lot of fucked-up things going on. 0.96
00:01:25.040 There's a lot of losses being made. 0.98
00:01:26.720 In hip-hop?
00:01:27.320 Of course. Life, period.
00:01:29.760 But most definitely in hip-hop, we see people going to prison every day.
00:01:33.600 We see people losing their lives every day.
00:01:37.000 I was talking about getting to the money for their laws of power,
00:01:41.020 playing by the rules, being great.
00:01:43.340 So you have a rare combination because early on, a lot of, you know,
00:01:47.420 when the story came out, you were a correctional officer for what,
00:01:50.400 the 18 months or whatever you did, 16 months, 17 months, 18 months? 1.00
00:01:53.760 No, it was shit. Much less than that. 0.99
00:01:57.320 But whatever the story was, that shit, they're half a billion late, man. 1.00
00:02:02.680 Half a billion late. 1.00
00:02:03.960 Yeah.
00:02:04.860 But you have a street life and you have a little bit of that.
00:02:07.720 How does that happen? 1.00
00:02:09.820 That's Rosé being a hustler. 1.00
00:02:13.020 There's not many people that can understand that.
00:02:16.680 I think I actually can because there's an element of understanding the law if you go to it.
00:02:23.580 Was that the intention originally?
00:02:26.000 Not at all.
00:02:27.320 Not at all.
00:02:28.860 Just hustling.
00:02:30.920 Just hustling.
00:02:32.780 I mean, look, I read somewhere that you were making $23,000, $28,000
00:02:36.860 as a correctional officer, so it's not like it was paying very well.
00:02:42.860 Oh, man, I was hustling, man.
00:02:46.520 And, you know, that's how hustlers respond to that.
00:02:50.520 It's much deeper than rap, baby.
00:02:54.620 Much, much deeper than rap.
00:02:57.320 Tell me more.
00:02:58.340 Tell me when you say much deeper than rap.
00:03:00.820 I'm letting you know that's how hustlers, a boss like myself, respond to that.
00:03:05.680 It's not much more to even say.
00:03:10.440 They missed that part of my life.
00:03:12.380 They missed it.
00:03:13.460 The part about the hustling.
00:03:14.980 Oh, man.
00:03:17.520 It's too easy.
00:03:20.940 Which part?
00:03:21.960 That they missed it or the life was too easy?
00:03:23.740 Oh, they most definitely missed it.
00:03:25.680 now what they could do is listen to the music they could read the books and just close their
00:03:32.180 eyes and just imagine what it was like oh man what it most definitely got it and and how how
00:03:42.820 important is the game of hip-hop i came up in la i lived in la 20 something years so for me my
00:03:52.920 Hip-hop was R.B. El Posse, Rappin' Forte, Too Short, Master Ace.
00:03:58.840 I don't know if you remember Master Ace, the I&C ride, right?
00:04:01.560 Of course.
00:04:02.060 Of course.
00:04:03.660 Shout out to Master Ace, too.
00:04:04.980 Yeah, he's phenomenal.
00:04:05.760 It was who's the first Mexican rapper that got a half a million dollars from
00:04:10.320 Suge, the East Side Rendezvous.
00:04:14.260 What was his name?
00:04:16.440 My God, I can't remember.
00:04:17.280 Kid Frost.
00:04:17.940 I don't know if you remember Kid Frost.
00:04:19.100 I do remember Kid Frost. 0.95
00:04:20.100 It was Lighter Shade of Brown, if you remember Lighter Shade of Brown. 0.71
00:04:23.400 Maybe you don't. 0.76
00:04:24.120 It was these guys.
00:04:25.680 And on the R&B side, it was, you know.
00:04:29.620 This is La Raza.
00:04:31.560 Jodeci. 0.91
00:04:32.080 Yeah, this is for La Raza. 0.75
00:04:33.180 That's right.
00:04:33.700 That was a great hit, right?
00:04:35.360 It was.
00:04:35.960 And there was almost, how big of a role does it play that you have street credit,
00:04:42.740 that you've had that life?
00:04:45.060 How big of a role does that play?
00:04:46.580 um i think first and foremost the music is the most important part because these you know the
00:04:57.660 i can only imagine i don't see really a lot of street in the ones that's making the music
00:05:05.840 they could discuss it you know speak on behalf of their where they from their city this or that but
00:05:12.480 But as far as the music, first and foremost,
00:05:15.500 now what goes on behind the scene and how you move,
00:05:18.680 are you really a boss?
00:05:20.000 Are you really, you know, strong enough to be able to make these moves
00:05:24.220 and the streets accept it?
00:05:26.340 You know, that's something totally different.
00:05:30.440 That's something totally different.
00:05:31.640 So the street accepts the street credit or not?
00:05:36.080 the streets for me will most definitely play a role in um streets you understand the streets
00:05:48.280 gonna play a role in the streets and as if you are artists first and foremost your music your
00:05:54.860 craft and your gift is what's most important how far you go after that that's between you and the
00:06:04.000 streets uh rose who did who did you meet in the game because you give me the vibes of a very driven
00:06:11.980 competitive guy facts yeah who did you meet in the game where you said these are the five real
00:06:17.900 og players these are the guys i'll be competing with the next couple decades you know for me and
00:06:25.580 the way i move i i necessarily don't even pit myself against or competing against the i the
00:06:33.200 legends so to me that's like me saying i would compete against big i would never do that i don't
00:06:39.060 see you as i would never compete against park i would never compete against jay-z i would never
00:06:44.780 compete against you know luke records in no kind of aspect because that's where i got the game from
00:06:50.700 you know what i'm saying that's the love and the respect that i have but um anybody else
00:06:58.300 It's not really nobody that's on my level for me to go against.
00:07:04.300 It's nothing to go against.
00:07:06.480 Nobody at your level.
00:07:08.180 No.
00:07:09.040 So you're giving the praise to Jay-Z, to...
00:07:12.720 The ones who raised me, the ones who showed me the game.
00:07:17.800 You know what I'm saying?
00:07:18.420 Yeah.
00:07:19.000 Yeah, the ones who I really absorbed the most game from.
00:07:24.200 You know what I mean?
00:07:24.860 when I was listening to two short records.
00:07:27.160 You know, when I run into these dudes,
00:07:29.320 when I just announced yesterday that Scarface is performing at my car show,
00:07:35.200 June 13th, it's like Scarface.
00:07:37.240 I would never go against Scarface.
00:07:40.060 You know, he got 20 records out.
00:07:43.400 I listened to all of them.
00:07:45.040 I bought them all.
00:07:46.920 Didn't he do something with Tupac?
00:07:48.800 Of course.
00:07:49.300 I got keys coming from overseas, right?
00:07:51.180 No, no, no, no.
00:07:52.380 No, that's All Eyes on Me with Tupac.
00:07:54.460 but Scarface and Tupac, they most definitely did it.
00:07:57.860 Oh, I remember this song.
00:07:58.860 What's the song with him and Tupac?
00:08:01.100 Rob, can you pull up the song Scarface did with Tupac?
00:08:04.040 The moment I hear the lyrics, I know which one it is.
00:08:07.740 Smile.
00:08:09.000 Smile.
00:08:10.740 Oh, man.
00:08:11.820 You get a smile.
00:08:13.040 Is that the one?
00:08:13.820 That's it.
00:08:14.320 That's the one.
00:08:14.740 That's one of them.
00:08:15.540 Wow.
00:08:16.040 Because they did a couple of them, right?
00:08:17.520 Facts.
00:08:18.340 That's 97, 30 years ago.
00:08:20.740 So, would you consider yourself a fan of the game as well?
00:08:24.880 Like you said, I listen to his.
00:08:26.380 So, who do you listen to?
00:08:27.520 Who are people that you listen to that maybe they're even current players?
00:08:32.420 I just told you my playlist is that's rosé.
00:08:36.560 Old school is where it's just a dope classic.
00:08:40.240 You know, I just mentioned DJ Quick earlier.
00:08:43.060 So, from the West Coast to the East Coast, of course, all down south.
00:08:48.240 But, like, did you listen to Andre 3000, Outkast?
00:08:50.520 Of course.
00:08:51.480 That's crumbling nerve.
00:08:52.940 It's nobody that could not listen to Outkast.
00:08:55.960 You know what I'm saying?
00:08:57.500 So that's automatic.
00:08:58.540 Greatest albums, those guys.
00:08:59.660 That album was just, it's another one of those Sade ones that you just play it.
00:09:02.860 Just let it go, and you can listen to every song.
00:09:05.580 Of course.
00:09:06.320 Yeah.
00:09:07.400 Trick Daddy.

00:09:38.640 You know what's my favorite P.M. Dawn song?
00:09:42.580 It's not that one, the other one.
00:09:45.320 What's this one you're playing?
00:09:46.480 It's EPMD.
00:09:47.460 Please listen to my demo.
00:09:49.200 And for music lovers like myself,
00:09:52.260 I was young when I heard this
00:09:54.300 and realized there wasn't no kicks, no drums.
00:09:58.840 It was just a loop.
00:09:59.700 I don't even know if it's producers that know that.
00:10:06.400 You got to make your playlist public.
00:10:12.600 My kids love this song.
00:10:15.020 Phenomenal song.
00:10:16.100 The kids are genius.
00:10:17.460 Remember the guy, the skateboard guy with this guy.
00:10:19.640 I don't know if you know which one I'm talking about.
00:10:21.300 That's him, right?
00:10:22.500 He's drinking the grape juice, or what drink was he drinking?
00:10:25.900 What a great song.
00:10:27.280 This rosé playlist.
00:10:28.840 80s.
00:10:29.480 Good for you.
00:10:30.680 Wow.
00:10:31.920 Phil Collins?
00:10:33.220 Phil Collins, yeah.
00:10:34.340 Of course.
00:10:36.920 Yeah, Phil Collins just, didn't he just turn 80?
00:10:40.020 I just saw something about Phil Collins turned 70 or 80, something like that.
00:10:45.720 Age?
00:10:49.100 76, yeah, 75.
00:10:50.500 This is my recent play.
00:10:53.960 This ain't recently searched.
00:10:57.820 This ain't this list that I'm playing from.
00:11:00.300 This is something that.
00:11:00.660 Recent.
00:11:01.540 Yeah, this is what I'm smoking and riding to on the way here.
00:11:07.640 Folks falling like rain.
00:11:09.100 So the Rosé playlist is, my musical acronym is different.
00:11:15.720 Who's your top five?
00:11:16.620 Top five all-time rappers.
00:11:20.000 Big Pop, Jay-Z, Trick Daddy, 305 Miami, without a doubt.
00:11:29.240 He spoke for the kids. 0.51
00:11:32.000 He spoke for the ghetto, of course. 0.51
00:11:34.300 And we could debate that. 0.92
00:11:37.300 It's too easy.
00:11:37.900 Who's your fifth?
00:11:38.500 Do you put Nas in there or do you put Andre in there?
00:11:41.920 I'm going to put – I'm happy to say Nas without a doubt.
00:11:47.640 Nas five.
00:11:48.180 Yeah, and when I say Nas, Nas spoke for that militant street,
00:11:56.020 that wise young hustler.
00:11:58.100 You know what I'm saying?
00:11:58.700 He was fly with it, getting to the money young.
00:12:01.320 You know what I mean?
00:12:01.800 So it's a lot of things that go with when I say top five.
00:12:05.020 And when I say it, my top five used to change every week.
00:12:08.500 when I'm smoking good and what I'm feeling like.
00:12:12.840 So it is like that.
00:12:14.820 Do you have a top five 80s, not even rap, just 80s music?
00:12:19.200 Because you just played an 80s song.
00:12:20.780 I played a lot of 80s songs.
00:12:22.180 When you go EPMD, when you go Rakim, it's so difficult for me 0.99
00:12:28.100 because when I smoke and I lay back, that shit is all magical to me. 0.98
00:12:33.580 it's magical in a lot of different ways when we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort 0.99
00:12:42.000 function and luxury we had the choice to make it fast we had the choice to make it cheap
00:12:48.200 we chose neither instead we chose tuscanero we chose true italian craftsmanship each pair
00:12:55.880 touched by 50 skilled hands we chose patience spending two years perfecting every detail
00:13:01.680 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:13:05.780 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:13:09.320 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
