I don't understand it.Copy !req
21. Man, it ain't that easy,
big dawg, all right?Copy !req
22. Well, I just want to—
maybe he could shadow you,Copy !req
23. absorb for a week.Copy !req
24. Maybe you could take a couple
of selfies, give him some tips.Copy !req
25. Hey, look, man,
I'm kind of busy, all right?Copy !req
26. So, like, why don't you
reach out to my manager?Copy !req

42. on how things may not always be
as they seem.Copy !req
43. Well, so now the kid
in the video is suing her,Copy !req
44. which is causing a dip in sales.Copy !req
45. We have a few companies interestedCopy !req
46. in securing the rights,
so we need this to go away.Copy !req
47. And fast.Copy !req
48. Let's talk ideas,
new image, rebranding.Copy !req
49. Hit me.Copy !req
50. Maybe we show the kid
has a checkered past.Copy !req
51. Or we can put out crime data
from that neighborhoodCopy !req
52. to show she was in the right
trying to defend herself.Copy !req
53. Oh, what if we had her donate
to the kid's football team?Copy !req
54. I mean, it's tax deductible.Copy !req

174. If you in here dealing in rap,Copy !req
175. then you can leave right now.Copy !req
176. Everybody in here
can rap they asses off.Copy !req
177. But if rapping
meant you made money,Copy !req
178. then Cassidy would be
a fucking billionaire.Copy !req
179. Take a look at this slide.Copy !req
180. Now, can you guess
which one of these peopleCopy !req
181. is a Billboard charting
rap artistCopy !req

Black ass a life raft.Copy !req

217. The first one is Young Street.Copy !req
218. That was all of us
when we first started out.Copy !req
219. All swagger.Copy !req
220. Then, it's OG.Copy !req
221. See, the young kids,
they look up to us,Copy !req
222. they respect the influence.Copy !req
223. Finally, it's Family Films.Copy !req
224. Now, see, right here,Copy !req
225. you're right on the cusp of OG.Copy !req
226. But you?Copy !req
227. You think you got
all the time in the world,Copy !req
228. but in actuality you gonna be

247. and I didn't even know
he had an album outCopy !req
248. till he was in the ground
for five months.Copy !req
249. You could downsize
your whole lifestyleCopy !req
250. and be fine.Copy !req
251. Live out in the country
in the middle of nowhere.Copy !req
252. But if you want this lifestyle,Copy !req
253. you better get a YWA
in the next five months...Copy !req
254. while they still
