00:00:00.000 Before Every Day I'm Hustlin', who knew in Miami
00:00:02.860 that there's something that's going to happen with you?
00:00:06.540 I mean, because Miami's got names as well.
00:00:08.160 It's got a lot of good names that came out of here.
00:00:10.060 Right, right, right.
00:00:10.620 Who knew there's something special about this thing?
00:00:12.240 Before Every Day I'm Hustlin', Luke knew.
00:00:13.920 Yeah, Luke knew.
00:00:15.320 DJ Khaled knew.
00:00:16.480 If you was a local rapper, if you was a local artist,
00:00:19.640 they knew the big boy in the city is Rose.
00:00:22.980 Now, is the country ready for this?
00:00:26.660 Is the rap game ready for this?
00:00:28.300 Because, once again, we come from, you know, a party city.
00:00:31.660 Beats, that's 130 miles. 1.00
00:00:33.380 Bitches got on bikinis. 1.00
00:00:34.720 Woo! 1.00
00:00:36.080 You know, just all of that shit. 1.00
00:00:38.560 And I'm talking about getting money. 1.00
00:00:40.100 I'm talking about real estate.
00:00:41.300 I'm talking about mansions.
00:00:43.280 You know what I'm saying? 0.99
00:00:43.720 I want jets and shit. 0.98
00:00:44.880 I want to do a lot of different investments, which was, you know, 0.98
00:00:49.080 a lot different from the norm.
00:00:51.440 Would you say if Biggie would have lived on,
00:00:53.600 he would have been a dream-selling rapper instead of, like,
00:00:56.480 correcting an injustice like Tupac?
00:00:58.300 Because Tupac talked about the problems.
00:01:00.900 Biggie sold the dream.
00:01:02.640 You know, they both, to me, they both, you know,
00:01:06.980 they both was the greats at the end of the spectrum
00:01:10.080 and they balanced the game out.
00:01:12.560 You know, we both, they both made it clear what the value of family was,
00:01:17.600 also what wealth was like.
00:01:19.700 Big most definitely, you know, painted that image and that picture,
00:01:23.580 those Versace button-ups.
00:01:25.160 But at the end of the day, it's about going to get it.
00:01:29.260 So they both was telling you to go and get it.
00:01:32.000 You got to invest in yourself.
00:01:33.500 You got to make it happen.
00:01:34.760 You know what I mean?
00:01:35.500 Tupac apparently never really made money when he was doing it.
00:01:38.880 He made some money, but apparently he never made a lot of money.
00:01:43.800 At the time, hip-hop was different.
00:01:45.300 Yeah.
00:01:45.700 You know, what was unfortunate to me was the fact that they both were really
00:01:49.540 with kids, man.
00:01:51.680 You know, you're 23 years old, 24 years old.
00:01:54.580 You know, and I'm speaking for both of them, you know what I'm saying?
00:01:57.880 You lose your life.
00:01:59.320 You didn't give – they both were priceless.
00:02:02.980 If they both lived a long, healthy life, they both would be –
00:02:06.440 I'm talking about – it's unbelievable how much money they generated.
00:02:10.460 Multiple billions, both of them, billions and billions and billions.
00:02:13.700 That's a good point because yours first was 30.
00:02:16.220 So probably at that time, you know how the game is played
00:02:20.220 and how people get taken advantage of.
00:02:21.740 So you're probably tougher to take advantage of than maybe they were.
00:02:24.580 You most definitely got to learn.
00:02:26.680 It's no one that's with you when it's time to talk about,
00:02:31.300 yo, record deal, this, that, this, that.
00:02:33.620 It's no one, yo, you just got to stress the important things to you.
00:02:39.420 Yo, you going to provide the studio?
00:02:41.660 You going to do this for me?
00:02:43.400 Yo, just be ready.
00:02:44.800 And in my mind, I already know, yo,
00:02:46.580 I'm going to get a major label to come step into
00:02:49.160 and take over this situation.
00:02:51.460 And we going to tax them.
00:02:53.500 The local label is cool.
00:02:56.280 I get it.
00:02:56.900 I get it.
00:02:57.540 I get it.
00:02:58.400 So that 30K advance for six albums, I wasn't tripping.
00:03:01.520 I get it.
00:03:02.760 But what I'm going to do is I'm going to stir and create so much disruption
00:03:06.280 and create so much value where the big boy is going to come in and say,
00:03:10.040 yo, Rick Ross, boom, we're going to give you $5 million.
00:03:14.100 What you want to do?
00:03:15.960 Who was in your ear?
00:03:17.640 Who was whispering in your ear, hey, be careful,
00:03:19.380 they're going to try to do this.
00:03:20.260 Hey, ask for this.
00:03:21.100 Who played a mental role?
00:03:23.680 Nobody really. 1.00
00:03:24.520 Nobody cared about that shit. 1.00
00:03:26.780 It was about the music. 1.00
00:03:28.260 For one, first and foremost, before the record deal even important,
00:03:32.360 do you really have something that's valuable?
00:03:34.640 Right.
00:03:35.280 Or you would be like the other thousands of artists who get record deals
00:03:39.180 and six months later you never heard from them again.
00:03:43.240 You're talking about the one-hit wonder type of guy.
00:03:44.460 Yeah, and even the ones that never had one hit,
00:03:46.980 you get a record deal
00:03:49.720 but you don't have one hit
00:03:51.420 now what
00:03:52.140 you were fortunate the one hit wonders
00:03:55.080 were fortunate that they had one hit
00:03:57.120 I know so many people
00:03:59.700 that got signed and never had a hit
00:04:01.540 now you just move on
00:04:03.940 so now
00:04:05.500 that's the focus when you're a young artist
00:04:07.820 it wasn't even about the record deal 0.99
00:04:10.080 I want to get a fucking record 0.98
00:04:11.680 and I want to create a record 1.00
00:04:13.900 that the fucking world wants to hear 0.98
00:04:15.660 So you are both on the talent side, and you're also a triple threat 0.99
00:04:22.100 because you have the personality, you've got the business experience,
00:04:24.760 and you're a talent.
00:04:25.840 So Jay-Z is one.
00:04:26.640 There's not too many of you guys that you also have an ear.
00:04:29.700 What's the recent movie that came out by Denzel
00:04:31.760 where he was known as having the best ear in the game?
00:04:36.020 Right.
00:04:36.440 He was the CEO in the game, and it was A$AP Rocky in the film.
00:04:40.360 Right, A$AP Rocky's in the film.
00:04:41.420 I watched the film maybe a month ago.
00:04:42.780 What was it called?
00:04:43.620 What was it called?
00:04:44.280 It's highest to lowest.
00:04:45.660 Yeah, which, by the way, interesting because, you know, and he talks about how he's, but he was not a guy that was a talent.
00:04:53.360 He was just an ear.
00:04:54.740 He would be able to see it.
00:04:55.700 So for you.
00:04:56.200 An executive.
00:04:56.800 An executive, exactly.
00:04:59.220 So how much of it is personality?
00:05:03.700 How much of it is talent?
00:05:05.480 How much of it is connections?
00:05:07.460 How much of it is work ethic?
00:05:08.700 How much of it is your fashion?
00:05:10.580 How much of it is your look?
00:05:12.560 Where would you rank it?
00:05:13.720 When you look at somebody and say, this is a guy, because you've had who?
00:05:16.360 You've had French Montana.
00:05:17.940 You've had Meek.
00:05:19.060 You've had a lot of guys.
00:05:20.100 Right, right, right.
00:05:20.940 What do you look for?
00:05:22.080 I think first and foremost, for me, what's most valuable to me is how dedicated are you?
00:05:30.300 Are you willing to work 15 hours a day when it's time to?
00:05:37.340 Are you willing to do that?
00:05:38.900 Because you could have the fashion.
00:05:40.620 You could have the style.
00:05:41.640 You could have the music.
00:05:42.640 But if you're not really dedicated, it won't last.
00:05:46.720 You don't have many artists that's talented and gifted, and they're gone.
00:05:52.840 They're gone.
00:05:54.440 And why is that?
00:05:55.920 You got to have a consistent understanding that passion has to burn.
00:06:00.960 Because when I first got in the game, I wasn't the most talented.
00:06:05.040 I wasn't the most this.
00:06:06.640 I wasn't first in this.
00:06:08.480 I was never the perfect this, that, this, that.
00:06:11.700 No, but what I was was the ultimate hustler.
00:06:15.480 We're not going to stop until we get this done. 0.99
00:06:17.980 We're not going to stop until we make this shit amazing. 0.99
00:06:21.140 We're going to stay in here until this shit sounds like it's, yeah. 0.99
00:06:25.460 So that's what separated me from the others. 0.99
00:06:28.560 So that's what I look for when it's time for me to really appraise another artist
00:06:33.900 or look at another artist and the gift and, you know, how consistent are they?
00:06:38.480 How long does it take for you to realize if this guy's got it or not?
00:06:41.580 Not long.
00:06:43.120 Not long.
00:06:44.600 Not long.
00:06:44.980 What do you look for?
00:06:45.760 I mean, once you present yourself, yo, that's what I'm here for.
00:06:49.640 This to music, this to this, this to this.
00:06:52.120 Okay, then the rest of the questions come with it.
00:06:53.920 Do you have the video to go with it?
00:06:56.200 Is social media on go?
00:06:57.880 Do you have a team?
00:06:59.240 Is it just you by yourself?
00:07:01.860 Are you already generating income?
00:07:04.500 Can you buy your own outfits?
00:07:06.880 It's a long list.
00:07:07.900 You're asking all those questions.
00:07:09.100 No, it's just, no, you have to, I have to see it.
00:07:12.460 Rosé don't got time to ask you.
00:07:14.660 That's just like if you're walking into the room
00:07:16.400 and you step over the paper on the floor.
00:07:18.300 If you're not going to pick it up and make the situation better,
00:07:21.840 there's no need for you.
00:07:23.040 I'm not asking you nothing.
00:07:24.780 Got it.
00:07:25.160 I have to see it.
00:07:26.140 Are you calling around as well to learn about the individual or no?
00:07:28.900 No, I got to see it.
00:07:30.700 I got to feel it.
00:07:32.060 The street's got to call me.
00:07:35.580 So who's the biggest risk you took on? 0.99
00:07:37.820 shit everybody 0.99
00:07:40.300 it's all a risk 0.99
00:07:42.140 because you never know who's going to really
00:07:44.940 break who's going to really pop
00:07:46.680 who's going to really work
00:07:48.420 you might sign a
00:07:50.280 super talented individual
00:07:52.500 and guess what he has twins
00:07:54.660 on the way now
00:07:55.540 he doesn't have time
00:07:58.780 for the studio he doesn't have time
00:08:00.560 for the interviews the podcast
00:08:02.240 this to that guess what it's called
00:08:04.300 it's over for him
00:08:05.260 unless he goes and prove otherwise.
00:08:09.860 But you have to be totally dedicated to this.
00:08:12.800 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:08:18.580 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:08:20.780 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:08:22.860 We chose neither.
00:08:24.460 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:08:26.620 We chose true Italian craftsmanship,
00:08:29.380 each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:08:31.760 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality
00:08:37.760 at every step, introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:08:43.380 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:08:47.640 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
