2:39
Speaker 1: with a with a quarter, right, m It was a
2:44
Speaker 1: blessing to be able to uh uh be where I'm at, man,
2:49
Speaker 1: you know, thankful. Well, you know the thing about it
2:51
Speaker 1: is that this is you know, rapping lot of records
2:54
Speaker 1: if if anybody does not know, it's based in Houston, Texas,
2:57
Speaker 1: and uh well his property that we were talking about
3:00
Speaker 1: also right outside of Houston, Texas. And uh but when
3:03
Speaker 1: you but when you bought it, it turned out to
3:05
Speaker 1: be an investment for you. This this given every year
3:09
Speaker 1: at an annual high profit rate. Correct that one thousand acres?
3:13
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, yeah, uh and that was one of the reasons. Uh,
3:17
Speaker 1: you know, I looked at several ranches, several pieces of profity,
3:22
Speaker 1: and it was this one stood out the most to
3:25
Speaker 1: me because it was a business and it's basically paid
3:30
Speaker 1: for itself, you know, I feel uh hey. And also
3:34
Speaker 1: the black angles cattle on the ranch, you know, it
3:38
Speaker 1: produces a quarter million a year. Okay, now let's go
3:42
Speaker 1: back to hide. It all started because I'm from fifth Wards.
3:45
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that, James. I'm from
3:46
Speaker 1: fifth War thirty and fifteen Main Street, right there on
3:49
Speaker 1: the corner a Russell and Bain Street. That's where I
3:52
Speaker 1: grew up, grew up in my six sisters, two brothers,
3:56
Speaker 1: lived in a two bedrooms shotgun house. And to be
3:58
Speaker 1: on the national radio from with a fellow young man
4:02
Speaker 1: from the hoods of the streets of Field, for I
4:04
Speaker 1: think it's a blessing for both of us, my friends. Oh,
4:07
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, that's right. The harder than that now,
4:11
Speaker 1: you know what you know? You know, you know I
4:13
Speaker 1: knew he was cut your man. I when I knew
4:15
Speaker 1: you was cutry when I started reading about you were
4:17
Speaker 1: selling warm chicken eggs in the hood. Yeah, yeah, I
4:23
Speaker 1: definitely a dollar, doesn't you know what I mean? I
4:26
Speaker 1: had they had country boards that lived on that street
4:29
Speaker 1: and they were sent me to the store for him
4:32
Speaker 1: all the time to buy eggs and realizes that I
4:36
Speaker 1: could be the one to sell them that eggs. You
4:40
Speaker 1: could buy a hold chicken for a dollar. Back then,
4:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm investing some of these chickens. And
4:46
Speaker 1: these chickens, you know, a few eggs, a dozen a
4:50
Speaker 1: belt a week, and band I became an egg entrepreneur.
4:57
Speaker 1: But you always saw the value. Like I said, a
5:00
Speaker 1: lot of people call the street hustle because they only
5:03
Speaker 1: say that because the individual lives in a community, like
5:07
Speaker 1: an urban environment. You don't hear the word street hustle
5:10
Speaker 1: if you don't live in the hood. That's just you
5:12
Speaker 1: just taking advantage of a situation that you saw profitability,
5:15
Speaker 1: a sell ability, and accountability. You said, people need eggs.
5:19
Speaker 1: I know how to get eggs. Let me sell these eggs.
5:22
Speaker 1: And guess what, there was people out there buying your eggs.
5:24
Speaker 1: But that's how you laid out your whole life, correct, Yeah,
5:27
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, between the eggs and diversified and went
5:31
Speaker 1: to cutting yards and you know what I mean. It
5:34
Speaker 1: went on and on. I was only like eight nine
5:36
Speaker 1: years old and uh, I had several jobs that worked
5:41
Speaker 1: on the back of the wealth and truck. You know, man,
5:45
Speaker 1: I was I just enjoying having money. I had this
5:47
Speaker 1: uncanny love for money at the age of eight years old.
5:52
Speaker 1: And you know, at all begun with me. I want
5:55
Speaker 1: to break the poverty curse, you know where my family
5:58
Speaker 1: was concerned. But you though, you stand, you though, remember
6:02
Speaker 1: you you just count money, but you wouldn't feed yourself.
6:08
Speaker 1: You must have read about that whooping I got ye. Yeah, yeah,
6:14
Speaker 1: I got a whooping. Mm hmm, yeah, I got a
6:18
Speaker 1: whooping because I had a pocket full of money and
6:22
Speaker 1: I was waiting on my grandmother to come home from
6:24
Speaker 1: work because I was hunger. I had a pocket money.
6:29
Speaker 1: So after she cooked, you know, I went to jump
6:31
Speaker 1: in and got all kinds of energy and went to
6:34
Speaker 1: stunting and pull out that bank roll I had. Yeah,
6:38
Speaker 1: I gotta go whoping. They don't shoot this kind of
6:41
Speaker 1: money pocket and be too standard and feed yourself. And
6:45
Speaker 1: I thought that was very Uh that's that's that's that's
6:48
Speaker 1: a very understatement, you know. And I think that your
6:50
Speaker 1: whole life when I when I read your book from
6:53
Speaker 1: cover to cover, um, starting with the fact that you
6:57
Speaker 1: know you does anybody really know that that James Prince,
7:01
Speaker 1: You know, because of the fact that people say you're
7:03
Speaker 1: hard business man, they said, you're very calculated. I remember
7:08
Speaker 1: when I met you outside my comedy club I called
7:10
Speaker 1: the Hip Hop Commedies that we were talking for a
7:12
Speaker 1: few minutes before you hopped in your car. You came
7:14
Speaker 1: to seem to perform and I walked back inside. He said, man,
7:17

7:52
Speaker 1: what I mean. Not it's a it's a fact that
7:55
Speaker 1: I'm not known joke, nothing like that. But as far
7:58
Speaker 1: as uh using my authority, what I mean, mistreating more
8:04
Speaker 1: in any kind of way. You know, I'm not I'm
8:07
Speaker 1: not blessed the way I am living that way. Absolutely,
8:10
Speaker 1: no all you or no will you be walking around?
8:13
Speaker 1: You know, people live their life in jail or dead.
8:16
Speaker 1: You know, there's evidence of that. There's evidence of that.
8:20

8:43
Speaker 1: of tricks right there. But but but you know, but
8:47
Speaker 1: just talking to you, that that that that that that
8:48
Speaker 1: that allowed me to understand that you were a humble guy.
8:52
Speaker 1: That's why I took away when I met you, a
8:53
Speaker 1: humble guy. A successful guy, but you're very humble and
8:58

9:13
Speaker 1: and then the fact when you came into my comedy club,
9:15
Speaker 1: it was like it was buzzing James, James in the
9:18
Speaker 1: games in there. Okay, okay, cool, it's all right. You
9:20
Speaker 1: know I played it off, all right, Yeah, all right,
9:22
Speaker 1: he's the only superstar came in my comedy club. Come on,
9:26
Speaker 1: not right, you know, But that but that humbleness is
9:30
Speaker 1: what carries you today. Correct. Oh yeah, you know, I'm
9:32
Speaker 1: a I'm a man that you know. I definitely believe
9:36
Speaker 1: in giving respect, you know what I mean. I believe
9:39
Speaker 1: in order to receive it, you have to give it.
9:42
Speaker 1: And you know I give it and as you stated,
9:45
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I earned it, and being
9:48
Speaker 1: is different places in my life, I demand it, so
9:52
Speaker 1: you know, uh, And I wrapped all of that around humility,
9:55
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I haven't forgotten where I
9:58
Speaker 1: came from and I don't know exactly where I'm going.
10:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, the thing about it is that we're
10:08
Speaker 1: gonna go to the next break here in a minute.
10:10
Speaker 1: I just wanna set everything up. We're gonna talk about
10:12
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather, that experience. We're gonna talk about, you know,
10:16
Speaker 1: how you had to take control of your care over
10:17
Speaker 1: your career. You got to talk about Drake. You know
10:20
Speaker 1: that was instrumental and uh, because I never understood why Drake,
10:24
Speaker 1: you know, always called Houston home. And it really came
10:26
Speaker 1: home to me when I read the book and how
10:28
Speaker 1: your son was inspirational. Uh, the reason for Drake being Drake,
10:33
Speaker 1: and I broke through your visionary because you didn't see him,
10:36

11:15
Speaker 1: presides on the thousand foot thousand acre ranch. You know,
11:19
Speaker 1: thousand that's some ponderosa stuff, that's them all. But now
11:22
Speaker 1: it's the stuff that's some big valley stuff. You know.
11:25
Speaker 1: I didn't know they had thousand because they was passing
11:27
Speaker 1: out around the Houston area. But this black man, this

11:59
Speaker 1: it throwing James? Did you give it back to the community?
12:02
Speaker 1: Make because you're raised in that community. You can walk away, man,
12:05
Speaker 1: you don't even live in the community, man, But you
12:07
Speaker 1: keep giving back. WI Is that so important? Well? You know,
12:12
Speaker 1: let me correct one thing before I answer that question.
12:15
Speaker 1: They they on two lot of six. They gave me
12:18
Speaker 1: another thing or you know, I got so they didn't
12:24
Speaker 1: took me from one to two days, you know what
12:26
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm thankful for that. And I chose to
12:29
Speaker 1: spend uh feeding the homeless and closing the homeless on
12:33
Speaker 1: my day, you know what I mean. That's the way
12:35
Speaker 1: I spent that day. But it's important for me to
12:40
Speaker 1: get back where I'm from, man, because you know, I
12:43
Speaker 1: couldn't totally be who I am today without my community.
12:48
Speaker 1: You know, I believe that my community shaped and mold
12:52
Speaker 1: you know, played a real instrumental role in shaping and
12:55
Speaker 1: molding my character to who I am today. You know
12:59
Speaker 1: what I mean. For me to uh walk away from
13:03
Speaker 1: that and not want to contribute to those uh you
13:07
Speaker 1: know in my community is like a slap in the
13:09
Speaker 1: flake face to me. You know what I man, I
13:10
Speaker 1: don't understand no man that make it an abandoned, totally
13:14
Speaker 1: abandoned where they're from. And you know, as you said,
13:17
Speaker 1: I had all kinds of individuals to tell me I
13:21
Speaker 1: shouldn't go back, I should do this. I'm picking a law,
13:25
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And my thing to them
13:27
Speaker 1: is I'd rather be dead than to abandon the field?
13:30
Speaker 1: Who are I know that's right. I know that's right.
13:33
Speaker 1: And brother, I'm right there with you. That's why I
13:34
Speaker 1: told you I would let everybody knows it's a fifth
13:36
Speaker 1: four twins on this call right now, two boys that
13:39
Speaker 1: within the hood, and they call us statistics. You know,
13:43
Speaker 1: we're not supposed to get out. I'm not gonna lay
13:45
Speaker 1: out everything on this show. Read the book because the
13:47
Speaker 1: book is worth reading because it lays out that that's
13:51
Speaker 1: how you get that reputation of Okay, you you know James,
13:53
Speaker 1: you know he's rough to talk to it just because
13:55
Speaker 1: he asked, well, you're supposed to be getting he asked for.
13:59
Speaker 1: And then if he and if you say it kind
14:01
Speaker 1: of slow, he's gonna rough it up a little bit
14:02
Speaker 1: in tone, because sometimes you gotta rough it up a
14:04
Speaker 1: little bit in tone because people, just especially the entertainment game,
14:08
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're puts you right to the
14:10
Speaker 1: side of the wall and keep walking. Now, if you
14:12
Speaker 1: let them keep keep on that, keep you on that wall,
14:14
Speaker 1: guess what, they're gonna keep walking by you. And that's
14:16
Speaker 1: what really what still out of me about reading your
14:18
Speaker 1: book is that individuals, whether it's corporations, uh, high high
14:24
Speaker 1: level management, lawyers, rappers, boxers, you always came back and
14:29
Speaker 1: got the truth out of them, James to say, Man, Okay,
14:33
Speaker 1: you don't want to do business like that, but you
14:34
Speaker 1: owe me. Right, let's gonna meet that first. Because once
14:37
Speaker 1: you got them to say they owed you, then gets
14:39
Speaker 1: what they had to pay you. Right. Yeah, yeah, you
14:43
Speaker 1: know and sometimes you know, you admit to oh and
14:46
Speaker 1: you and they're no, they owe you, and you still
14:50
Speaker 1: man twist them or do some creative things, you know
14:56
Speaker 1: what I mean? But I do I do for saying
14:59
Speaker 1: I do believe even the what, when, where and how
15:02
Speaker 1: uh situation? You know what I mean, strut of whatever
15:06
Speaker 1: I'm trying to accomplish, You know what I mean. I
15:08
Speaker 1: believe in asking those questions and being from now I'm execute.
15:15
Speaker 1: And that's why I loved about it. And I want
15:17
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs to hear that, because this shows about entrepreneurship motivation,
15:21
Speaker 1: taking away your success and letting everyday people realize that
15:24
Speaker 1: it could be applied for them. And then the beauty
15:27
Speaker 1: of this here's the thing about everybody talks about the
15:29
Speaker 1: vision boards, talking about right down your idea. That's the
15:32
Speaker 1: big thing. Now in his book he shows you handwritten
15:36
Speaker 1: notes in the end, he shows you handwriting notes that
15:39
Speaker 1: he wrote that he had a vision, I'm gonna do this,
15:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, and when he did it, he
15:44
Speaker 1: checked it off. That had to be the inspiration for
15:47
Speaker 1: this book. Man, that even back then, you had a
15:50
Speaker 1: plan and you stuck to it. James, Yeah, now I did,
15:54
Speaker 1: and and and you know it was at one point
15:57
Speaker 1: I used to keep everything in my head because I
16:00
Speaker 1: didn't know the real power of writing it down and
16:03
Speaker 1: looking at it every day, you know what I mean.
16:06
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't gather that until I read the
16:09
Speaker 1: book Think and Grow Rich and and I understood just
16:14
Speaker 1: a little more the concept of writing a goal down,
16:18
Speaker 1: the concept of prioritizing things with structure, and I started
16:24
Speaker 1: executing it in that manner. And you know it was
16:28
Speaker 1: me executing on steroids at that point, absolutely, because that
16:32
Speaker 1: was the reason you took over rapping a lot of records.
16:34
Speaker 1: You started you saying, look, I want to I want
16:37
Speaker 1: to show how I can run it. You know, because
16:39
Speaker 1: after you read that book, it gave you the step,
16:42
Speaker 1: the plane of action that you could do this The
16:45
Speaker 1: thing I like about is that, you know they always
16:47
Speaker 1: tell people. You can tell your kids not to listen
16:49
Speaker 1: to something, you can, but if they listen right, they
16:52
Speaker 1: could also be equally successful. That that comes into situation.
16:56
Speaker 1: You didn't allow Wrap Mused to be played in your house,
16:59
Speaker 1: But then you're so right. Your son discovered one of
17:04
Speaker 1: the most influential rap talents in our generation. And Drake,
17:08
Speaker 1: and then when he brought him to you, you didn't
17:10
Speaker 1: understand it. When he brought him to Little Wayne, he
17:13
Speaker 1: didn't get it either, but that didn't stop him because
17:15
Speaker 1: he got that same quality that you got. James. Oh yeah, yeah, No,
17:19
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. And and my efforts was and I
17:23
Speaker 1: and I fail it worked is do it with balance,
17:27
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I think everything has to
17:29
Speaker 1: be done with balance, because sometimes when you just let
17:32
Speaker 1: him go being they're consumed at twenty four seven and
17:36
Speaker 1: and by me, you know, keeping balance. I think even
17:40
Speaker 1: what Jazz was concerned, he didn't like uh lean too
17:45
Speaker 1: far with the hardcore raph or so he was able
17:52
Speaker 1: to hear or something where Drake was that I couldn't
17:55
Speaker 1: even hear, you know, I mean I couldn't even hear
17:58
Speaker 1: because I had program in my mind to be so,
18:02
Speaker 1: you know, often to the gamester side a rap until
18:05
Speaker 1: I couldn't hear that commercial crossover thing that her breaks concerned.
18:12
Speaker 1: You know, before I go with this in the ind
18:13
Speaker 1: this interview, I gotta give you your conversation about Floyd Mayweather.
18:18
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I gotta give you credit man, you know,
18:22
Speaker 1: uh you you you got them start in that direction
18:25
Speaker 1: reworked as HBO deal. And so just tell us about
18:29
Speaker 1: that experience, because there's so many things in the book
18:31
Speaker 1: that I want people to read. I want people to
18:33
Speaker 1: buy The Art and Science of Respect by James Prince Um.
18:37
Speaker 1: He's one of the greater historians of rap music. From
18:41
Speaker 1: the standpoint of when you read the book, it's like
18:43
Speaker 1: a it's like a lesson of how to do it right.
18:46
Speaker 1: But just tell us, in short about your experience with
18:49
Speaker 1: our Floord Mayweather and uh and let's we wrap this
18:52
Speaker 1: up on a high note, my friend. Yeah, well, you know,
18:55
Speaker 1: of course, I build a recreations center and and full
18:59
Speaker 1: court basketball, uh, the gym, the weight rowan, the computer room,
19:06
Speaker 1: and then I build a boxing gym all on the
19:08
Speaker 1: same piece of property in fifth War and boxing has
19:12
Speaker 1: always been my first love, and after observing the amateurs
19:16
Speaker 1: in the boxing gym, I decided, you know, I said, okay,
19:19
Speaker 1: it's time for me to get back in the boxing.
19:23
Speaker 1: And you know I did. I I remember, you know,
19:26
Speaker 1: praying and actually the Lord to bless me with the
19:28
Speaker 1: champion because every goal, everything I ever trying to accompass
19:33
Speaker 1: in life, I prayed first before I executed faith. So
19:38
Speaker 1: you know, I went on to set up a meeting
19:40
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson in Las Vegas. Went to went to
19:43
Speaker 1: Las Vegas watching Mike Tyson in the gym spawing, and
19:48
Speaker 1: Floude Maywell to have to come in the gym as well.
19:51
Speaker 1: So you know, Floyd kept coming to me trying to
19:53
Speaker 1: hold a conversation, and eventually he left his number with
19:57
Speaker 1: me and say, man, you want to do something to night,
19:59
Speaker 1: give me a call. So I went home with Mike
20:02
Speaker 1: Tyson to have a meeting with him that afternoon, and
20:06
Speaker 1: you know, eventually Mike got his wife on the phone
20:09
Speaker 1: and you know, Mike, tomay, I want Pressed to be
20:12
Speaker 1: a part of my team. So I went on back
20:15
Speaker 1: to my role later on that night and got up
20:18
Speaker 1: the next day thinking I was gonna go in visible
20:20
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson before I left or whatnot, and his
20:23
Speaker 1: phone was not working, you know what I mean. I
20:26
Speaker 1: think his manager or whatever that guy named was disconnected
20:32
Speaker 1: the phone. So I was left with Mayweather nom and
20:34
Speaker 1: I asked my friend, I say, uh, who is this guy?
20:38
Speaker 1: And he told me said, oh, that's flawed. Maywell a
20:40
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty pole champion. At that point, you know,
20:44
Speaker 1: a red light went off in my head because I say, man,
20:47
Speaker 1: I prayed for a champion. Tyson ain't no champion at
20:51
Speaker 1: he wasn't a champion at the time. He's just the
20:54
Speaker 1: number one box in the world. So bam. Within a
20:57
