[0:08 - 0:17] What's up everybody? You guys see that?
[0:19 - 0:30] Well first off the CISNAC, I would like to say thank you for giving me at least some of the answers that I was looking for
[0:31 - 0:36] You know, I do appreciate you giving me some of the answers I was looking for
[0:38 - 0:46] But there is one thing that I do need to say and that is
[0:46 - 0:55] When I first started music, I had no intention and nor will I ever
[0:56 - 0:58] have the intention
[0:59 - 1:04] of letting my music or my creativity or my likeness or myself
[1:05 - 1:07] be owned
[1:07 - 1:10] you know, my music is my music and
[1:12 - 1:15] What I do is on me. I don't want anybody owning
[1:17 - 1:20] What the fuck I do
[1:20 - 1:22] like if I put out music
[1:23 - 1:25] I want to put out music
[1:25 - 1:26] my way
[1:26 - 1:28] I want to be able to have
[1:28 - 1:30] control over it a hundred percent
[1:31 - 1:36] I don't want somebody said they're saying oh you released this song, but we own it
[1:37 - 1:43] That's not what I want if I release song. I want to be able to own it a hundred and ten percent
[1:47 - 1:51] Like I'm not a cash cow. I do thank you for stating that yes
[1:51 - 1:53] I am a musical genius and I do appreciate that
[1:54 - 1:56] I truly do appreciate that but
[1:57 - 1:59] I'm not a cash cow
[1:59 - 2:03] I'm a freaking human being and I deserve to be treated as such man
[2:04 - 2:09] I deserve to be treated as a human being and not some sort of
[2:09 - 2:11] You know cash cow
[2:11 - 2:14] and I'm not going to be held responsible
[2:15 - 2:16] for
[2:16 - 2:19] your lack of being able to get off your ass and actually
[2:20 - 2:23] Create something
[2:23 - 2:25] Like I'm not going to be controlled
[2:27 - 2:30] Matter of fact, I'm going to prove that here in just a few minutes
[2:31 - 2:32] Maybe right back
[2:32 - 2:35] When we go check on my coffee and once I grab it
[2:35 - 2:36] I am going to
[2:36 - 2:40] Do some stuff and show you that I'm not going to be a cash cow
[2:48 - 2:54] Actually, no it doesn't nowadays it don't take money to be independent and I can easily prove that
[2:55 - 2:57] So give me a minute and I'll prove how
[7:37 - 7:52] What's other one out there?
[7:52 - 7:53] now
[7:53 - 7:56] Let's let's get down to the name topic here
[7:59 - 8:01] first, I do want to address
[8:02 - 8:05] wacky jack whatever your name is I want to address
[8:06 - 8:08] what you said about
[8:08 - 8:10] not being able to be
[8:11 - 8:13] an independent artist without money
[8:18 - 8:19] see
[8:19 - 8:22] And this is a very common misconception
[8:23 - 8:26] All right, this is actually a very common misconception
[8:27 - 8:29] that people have about
[8:29 - 8:31] not being able to
[8:31 - 8:33] make it as
[8:33 - 8:35] an independent artist
[8:38 - 8:43] Ryan up church
[8:43 - 8:47] Tom McDonald
[8:47 - 8:49] two very good examples
[8:50 - 8:52] of an independent artist
[8:55 - 8:57] They started it with no money
[9:03 - 9:05] You know what they use?
[9:05 - 9:08] They use digital distribution platforms
[9:11 - 9:16] They make a name for themselves and use digital distribution platforms
[9:17 - 9:18] such as
[9:18 - 9:20] CD baby
[9:20 - 9:23] Um a music which is one that I went through in the past
[9:26 - 9:30] You know they use they use various digital distribution platforms
[9:31 - 9:34] to get their stuff on the itunes
[9:35 - 9:37] Spotify
[9:37 - 9:39] Apple store the Apple Play Store
[9:40 - 9:43] Google Play Store Amazon basically anywhere where you buy music
[9:44 - 9:46] They get their music onto that shit
[9:50 - 9:52] And actually no they did not
[9:52 - 9:55] Tom McDonald did not have a single sent to his name
[9:56 - 10:00] Tom McDonald did not have backing and neither did Ryan up church
[10:01 - 10:03] Neither of them had
[10:03 - 10:05] financial backing
[10:05 - 10:07] Matter of fact at one point
[10:08 - 10:11] Tom McDonald was actually home was
[10:12 - 10:14] They didn't have financial backing
[10:17 - 10:19] They did not have the financial backing to
[10:20 - 10:23] Get them going
[10:23 - 10:27] Did you know that Ryan up church became famous by accident?
[10:29 - 10:32] You want to know how he came became famous by accident?
[10:33 - 10:36] By one video
[10:36 - 10:40] That somebody uploaded to youtube he did not have financial backing
[10:41 - 10:43] He became a superstar totally by accident
[10:44 - 10:47] It was through a video they did about a strip club
[10:50 - 10:52] Called athlete slip
[10:52 - 10:54] Look it up
[10:54 - 10:56] That video
[10:56 - 10:59] Somebody took that video that he posted on facebook
[11:02 - 11:04] Uploaded it to youtube
[11:04 - 11:06] And from there it went viral
[11:08 - 11:12] Tom McDonald was actually homeless for a while
[11:17 - 11:19] Before he made it big
[11:21 - 11:26] Matter of fact machine gun kelly is another prime example
[11:28 - 11:33] Back in the day he was homeless. He was living out on the streets
[11:34 - 11:37] But you know what he did he took a random chance
[11:39 - 11:41] At a rap battle competition
[11:42 - 11:46] All right, he took a random chance at a rap battle competition
[11:47 - 11:50] Not having any money not having a place to stay
[11:51 - 11:53] All he had was his car
[11:54 - 11:56] And his friends that's all he had
[11:56 - 12:00] Now look at him one of the biggest superstars in the world
[12:05 - 12:07] And those are just three
[12:07 - 12:09] prime examples
[12:09 - 12:12] Of superstars that have actually made a big on their own
[12:12 - 12:16] Matter of fact the artist that I performed
[12:17 - 12:20] Earlier today crucifix
[12:21 - 12:23] He was homeless for about seven years
[12:25 - 12:28] He was homeless for about seven years with his girlfriend
[12:29 - 12:32] Before he finally got his shit together
[12:33 - 12:35] And decided hey
[12:35 - 12:39] I have something with this music. I need to take this seriously
[12:42 - 12:44] So all these people have made it on their own
[12:45 - 12:48] Ryan up church is a fully-fledged independent artist
[12:49 - 12:51] He now runs holler boy records
[12:52 - 12:54] Tom McDonald
[12:55 - 12:57] Now runs hangover gang
[12:58 - 12:59] crucifix
[12:59 - 13:04] Runs dirt rock records or dirt rock entertainment. I'm not sure what just one of the two
[13:09 - 13:12] Machine young kelly, obviously he signed with the label
[13:13 - 13:14] But the first three
[13:14 - 13:16] Own their own labels
[13:23 - 13:25] All three of them own their own labels
[13:29 - 13:32] Prove me wrong all three of them own their own labels
[13:34 - 13:38] All three of them do
[13:38 - 13:39] Don't believe me
[13:39 - 13:50] Look it up for yourselves
[13:51 - 13:53] Trust me. I keep tabs on these people
[13:54 - 13:59] I keep tabs on the artists that I you know listen to that I enjoy
[14:00 - 14:02] I learned their history. I learned what they're about
[14:05 - 14:07] matter of fact
[14:07 - 14:11] Mike Shinoda from Lincoln Park owns machine shop
[14:12 - 14:14] And if you guys don't know machine shop
[14:15 - 14:17] They're the ones that produced
[14:17 - 14:20] for minor
[14:20 - 14:23] if you guys remember for minor with the rising tide
[14:24 - 14:26] And a couple of the other albums that they did
[14:42 - 14:45] And ciznak I hope you don't harbor any hatred towards me dude
[14:46 - 14:48] But I do hope that you understand that
[14:49 - 14:53] You know, I don't want to be controlled like that
[14:53 - 14:56] Because being controlled is how you fail
[14:58 - 15:04] That's one thing I avoid like if let me put to you like this if I'm gonna sign to a record label
[15:05 - 15:08] Okay, if I'm gonna sign to a record label
[15:09 - 15:10] I want to be able to
[15:10 - 15:12] own all the creative freedoms
[15:13 - 15:18] And all the rights to my work. I don't want to sit there and be controlled
[15:19 - 15:20] I want to be able to
[15:20 - 15:24] Have control over what I do with my works
[15:25 - 15:30] So that if I do you know happen to want to pick up and
[15:31 - 15:33] You know leave at any point in time for
[15:34 - 15:36] Whatever reason I can do that without
[15:37 - 15:39] any bullshit
[15:39 - 15:45] You see what I mean
[15:45 - 15:47] Like I'm not
[15:47 - 15:51] Anyone's cash cow like I don't want to be used
[15:52 - 15:54] To be made money off of I'm not a cash cow
[15:56 - 16:06] I am my own person
[16:06 - 16:08] And I will not be controlled
[23:37 - 31:09] I'm not afraid to get that out short. I'm one five foot three. I'm not afraid to admit it
[31:12 - 31:15] I'm proud to be five foot three motherfuckers. I'm fun-sized
[31:23 - 32:00] Hey, you're good
[38:24 - 45:46] All right, tell wreck that this one's for him and I hope that you
[50:07 - 50:09] Do
[56:48 - 61:37] I got something for this dude. That's really cool man. Yeah, I appreciate that

[64:41 - 64:45] Think again and says neck
[64:47 - 64:52] Good luck trying
[64:53 - 64:55] To control me
[64:55 - 64:57] Because it's not gonna happen
