Hard Work, Influences, and Memorable Shows
00:05:01
Davante Adams
like
00:05:01

00:05:12
Davante Adams
It was at a restaurant. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm real. I ain't never been to no, mean, you know, you go to the festivals and stuff and you see little stuff.
00:05:19
Neptvne Blvez
gotta change that we gotta change that
00:05:20
Davante Adams
I'm talking about, I don't know. It's changing because I have to, I have to get out there now because just like being a musician, I just want to be in these, I want to be on stage on the drums now. So, but you got to listen to the actual, you got to watch it live.
00:05:32
Davante Adams
It's different live versus just playing in the church. You know, I've been playing in church my whole life, so.
00:05:38
Neptvne Blvez
Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
00:05:38
Davante Adams
But no, go ahead. My bad. didn't mean to get off subject with that.
00:05:41
Neptvne Blvez
No, it's all good. No, my, to be honest, I've had a nice summer. I can't complain. Um, I've been, been trying to put myself out there a lot more.
00:05:54
Neptvne Blvez
ah um, just been, you know, experimenting with different like crowds in terms of like, not even just my own creation of music, but like i said, well, like you just said, I went to Electric Forest. That was big for me. That was really different.
00:06:13
Neptvne Blvez
That was something, I've gone to live concerts and festivals and stuff like that for quite a few years now, but that is like a once in a lifetime experience when it's your first time going, I've heard.
00:06:28
Neptvne Blvez
But I for sure want to go again into other festivals like that. But I can't quite describe it. It was magical just at Forest. But aside from ah Forest, all of the different concerts that I personally performed at and shows were really nice.
00:06:51
Neptvne Blvez
They weren't major yet, but that's fine. I've had like a lot of major milestones, personal and like, you know, musically.
00:07:00
Davante Adams
Mm-hmm. Definitely.
00:07:02
Neptvne Blvez
I, uh,
00:07:03
Davante Adams
definitely
00:07:03
Neptvne Blvez
I told you with the Lollapalooza thing, I i was kind of like a finalist in that whole thing to possibly perform at Lollapalooza. And that was an experience in itself, not because of that, but because of my family being there.
00:07:19
Neptvne Blvez
A lot of my family that never got a chance to see me for the first time were actually at that performance. And my baby niece came out and surprised me during my performance. So it was just a lot of
00:07:29
Davante Adams
That's dope. That's dope.
00:07:30
Neptvne Blvez
it was a lot of warm moments and this summer, even though it's still going on, it's just been, it's been amazing, bro. To say less, to say the least, sorry.
00:07:41
Davante Adams
No, that's dope. That's like a that's pretty cool. Like you said, you had your niece. Your niece popped up.
00:07:48
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, it was, i was doing some crowd work and um I was walking through the crowd and everything like that. And my niece is, she's very young. She's, about six years old she's walking through the crowd and she popped up and um i was performing with the mic and she came and i said hey to her and everything like that i had some bubble gum i was passing out to the people in the crowd you know was going along but one of my songs is called bubble gum yeah
00:08:11
Davante Adams
Yeah, yeah. I remember seeing that. That was dope. I was like, this dude snapped.
00:08:19
Neptvne Blvez
i it's called bubble gum and she popped up and she she reached in the bin and she got a a bunch of bubble gum out of the bin so it It really was dope. It was really, really nice seeing the reactions and just aside from that, my family was what did it for me. Forget the
Music Influences and Industry Insights
00:08:37
Neptvne Blvez
reactions of the crowd and everything like that. My family being there meant everything to me. And that probably was the the biggest highlight of my summer.
00:08:49
Davante Adams
That's pretty dope, bro. ain't gonna lie to you. know I'm just sitting here just, and um I'm just taking it out, Lynn, because, pause, just because it's it's it's a lot of gems that you're dropping in there, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:56
Neptvne Blvez

Like, look at us right now. We fresh off the gig and we write You know I'm saying? Me and my ain't a, ain't two hours fresh off. You know what I'm saying? We just literally right to the work. You know what saying? So it's a, it's gotta be a certain love and a, and a dedication to it. And it gotta be real inspiring having your family there.
00:09:34
Davante Adams
oh That's different, bro. It's also, like you said, you appreciate everybody in audience, but like seeing your mom and then you like your aunties, whoever, you know what saying? But it's,
00:09:47
Davante Adams
It's different when the family, the family that, shout out my family too, man. Y'all support me. You what I'm saying? Y'all know what it is.
00:09:55
Neptvne Blvez

Davante Adams
And um I wrote it down at some point. I did, bro. I was just like, I'm to use this one day. Boom. Drop the nuke.
00:10:31
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, you definitely just dropped the bomb on me. Let me think about that one.
00:10:35
Davante Adams
Yeah, that's it. Because I know it's, yeah.
00:10:35
Neptvne Blvez
If...
00:10:37
Davante Adams
Take your time.
00:10:39
Neptvne Blvez
oh I'm not gonna lie. It would have to be something from the early to mid-2000s. would probably say...
00:10:48
Davante Adams
Any song.
00:10:52
Neptvne Blvez
I would probably say...
00:10:57
Neptvne Blvez
i'll probably say um Stay fly. About three, six months.
00:11:04
Davante Adams
That's a good one.
00:11:07
Davante Adams

00:11:07

00:11:56
Davante Adams
yeah Nah, that's dope. I like that answer, bro. I was just like, i was taking I was like, like you said, let's listen. But ah that's a dope answer. I got another dope question for you too, though. It's just on some personal stuff on from an artist standpoint.
00:12:11
Davante Adams
What's a lesson you learned in life that shaped your music?
00:12:17
Neptvne Blvez
who A lesson that I've learned in life,
00:12:23
Davante Adams
That shaped your music.
00:12:23
Neptvne Blvez
you you can't take any shortcuts.
00:12:28
Davante Adams
Hmm. Okay. okay
00:12:30
Neptvne Blvez
um When I was younger, I used to take shortcuts a lot. in terms of school, in terms of life, in terms of just like, when it came to being competitive athletic being competitive athletically, i um felt like I maybe didn't always take shortcuts, but occasionally I did.
00:12:53
Neptvne Blvez
But you just get to notice in certain things that And it adds up. The little shortcuts you don't take adds up. I mean, the little change in your jar that you spend every now and then adds up if you put it all together and you don't have it.
00:13:09
Neptvne Blvez
So, I mean, when you taking that little change on the dollar shortcut thinking that you cool in life, it kind of adds up to the point where you're going to be missing a lot of of what you wish you had.
00:13:23
Neptvne Blvez
a lot of those skills, a lot of those, ah the knowledge.
00:13:23
Davante Adams
Right.
00:13:28
Davante Adams
Uh-huh.
00:13:28
Neptvne Blvez
whatever it is, and um just not taking shortcuts has allowed me to get so much further in my music because I've taken the time to study the craft and the game and the history of it and the people before me, the elders and the pioneers. And I'm ah um'm a big hip-hop historian.
00:13:46
Neptvne Blvez
And um i I give a lot of homage to the people before me in the eighty s the 90s, all of that.
00:13:52
Davante Adams
yeah
00:13:55
Neptvne Blvez
the people before me that like kind of set the path and paved the way and um I wouldn't be who I am without them so a lot of people who I like wouldn't be who they are without them so it's like you know I'm saying I gotta um study what they did and
00:13:55
Davante Adams
Yeah.
00:14:01
Davante Adams
Exactly.
00:14:06
Davante Adams
that
00:14:16
Neptvne Blvez
and look at myself and also look at my own mistakes and honor value what I like the most and value the most and just stand by that as a man the end of the day don't take them shortcuts and doing it the harder way is more fulfilling even though it's the harder way
00:14:37
Davante Adams
Yeah, you get more. Yeah, just like, you know, like for some people it's working hard, you know what I'm saying? Going home and smoking that blunt after just eight hours, 10 hours of work, whatever. It's rewarding. You know what I'm saying? Like it's Or taking a drink, whatever but it is that fulfills you. and You know what saying? That makes you feel good. it's like It's like that feeling of just knowing that I did it that way.
00:14:59
Davante Adams
you know i did i did I did it the way that I was supposed to do it in my eyes. And I know that I didn't take any shortcuts. So in the back of my mind, I won't be thinking about any of it. And you won't have any regrets.
00:15:12
Neptvne Blvez
Exactly.
00:15:13
Davante Adams
Yeah, because you have regrets when you...
00:15:17
Davante Adams
Shortcuts are not good. Shortcuts are definitely one of those. is it feels It's like fast money. You know I'm saying? We from the trenches.
00:15:25
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah.
00:15:26
Davante Adams
West, east, whatever. You know what I'm saying? is We from the trenches. So we know what it feels like to get some fast money. And it could be... and you know that's That's a crazy part, though. That's a crazy part. I'm talking about two different things. Shortcuts and...
00:15:41
Davante Adams
Easy money. it because The easy money could be something that you did good, though, too. why You got to think about that because you could have wanted to cut somebody grass. like that's That's good easy money. You know what I'm saying? Some fast money. I guess it's different ways to put it. but ah Neptune, man. I just want salute you, though, bro, for real.

Davante Adams
So we got a lot of outreach stuff. We got a lot we're going to touch on. But let me let me get back to the hip-hop, man. Because we was talking hip-hop before me and bro actually went live on here. We was talking about Chance.
00:16:53
Davante Adams
And we was actually having a real dope build-up on it that we said, like, fuck it, let's start the podcast. But ain't heard Chance since coloring book, bro. Chance the Rapper. I haven't heard nothing since coloring book.
00:17:06
Davante Adams
And I see in the headlines that Starline, a new project, is dropping August. um What's that? August 15th? And ah August 15th.
00:17:14
Neptvne Blvez
August 15th.
00:17:16

And it's followed by a tour. And the tour is called And We Back. So that's like September, late September, mid October. So they're going to NYC. They're going to be in Chicago. They're hitting a lot of places, man.
00:17:30
Davante Adams
um Chance the Rapper though.
00:17:35
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of Chance's rollout everywhere. Like, he's been, like, in the city, like, throughout the city, like, at different events and stuff like that.
00:17:45
Davante Adams
Mm hmm.
00:17:46
Neptvne Blvez
And um to be honest, I'm rocking with it little bit. I hope that this next album is a banger. I feel like it's going to be a banger because it's Chance.
00:18:00
Neptvne Blvez
Like, did this this go around, I feel like this shit finna slap. and um I like this rollout. Like, I'm not gonna lie. Like, I real, real, real deal like this rollout that he been doing.
00:18:14
Neptvne Blvez
Because I've been seeing, like, the Starline girls. I don't know if those are what they're called. But, like, he been having the shorties out there and everything like that.
00:18:22
Davante Adams
Okay.
00:18:22
Neptvne Blvez
Helping him promote it. He been having his brother out the 1000, day one, promoting that shit with him. So that's what's up and shit like that. You know, he'd been he look he'd been having a lot of publicity and a lot of production behind that shit.
00:18:37
Davante Adams
Okay.
00:18:37
Neptvne Blvez
so I'm hoping this shit and if you look um the cover art low-key looks like acid rap little bit like how the acid rap is the old mixtape was designed so it might give them them retro chance vibes for the people who remember what that shit was like
00:18:38
Davante Adams
Okay.
00:18:50
Davante Adams
okay
00:18:52

Neptvne Blvez
15 or 30 of their songs. I forgot the exact number. But they said like a lot of their fucking songs were sampled three six Mafia songs.
00:24:10
Neptvne Blvez
And they didn't get no no credit. Yeah. And I could see how they would say that. Because motherfuckers be listening to them beats sometimes. And I'd be like, man, this sound like 3-6 Mafia. This beat hard as hell.
00:24:10
Davante Adams
Really?
00:24:21
Davante Adams
Damn.
00:24:21

00:24:22
Davante Adams
OK.
00:24:29
Neptvne Blvez
that's that exact beat unless I'm listening to I'm not enough fans of either one of them to just call out an exact beat on either or you know what I'm saying but I love 3-6 Mafia but Suicide Boys I have fucking up they um yeah they it's not looking good

at the end of the day, it I'll be... ah you know, I actually watched it last night, the documentary. was watching that last night.
00:29:53
Davante Adams

00:29:54
Neptvne Blvez
On Netflix, yeah.
00:29:54
Davante Adams
Damn, yeah. I say the only drop, but that's the time I say it.
00:29:58
Neptvne Blvez
i saying I'd be watching it every now and then because it's inspiring. It really is. I was just posting the other day about that because it really does make you miss. That was like really my idol. He was really like one of my biggest, biggest inspirations. but like As far as artists that I looked up to and who i emulated my craft after early, and like it was Kanye, bro.
00:30:20
Davante Adams
That was him.
00:30:23
Neptvne Blvez
And it's like, it's almost like watching somebody pass away and then like go through like this ego death. And like you say Kanye died and then it becomes Ye.
00:30:35
Neptvne Blvez
And then like at the end of the day, you still got love for Ye, but then Ye be wilding out. And now it's like,
00:30:42
Davante Adams
yeah yay
00:30:44
Neptvne Blvez
it's like an estranged family member now, at least to me.
00:30:47
Davante Adams
you
00:30:48
Neptvne Blvez
Cause I got mad, you, man, a lot of people don't know. I got so much love for Kanye West, man. I really do. I really do. That's the reason, a big reason why I did this shit early on.
00:31:04
Neptvne Blvez
I lost Mac Miller. I lost Kanye West. I lost all the motherfuckers that I used to listen to when I first started rapping. And now, now what?
00:31:17
Davante Adams
We the F baby in the F is forever. Hey, listen. Shout out Tunchy, man.
00:31:24
Neptvne Blvez

00:31:25
Davante Adams
Shout out Tunchy, man.
00:31:27
Neptvne Blvez
We got Wayne.
00:31:28
Davante Adams
Bro, Wayne is... Wayne on his way out for sure, though. Wayne is definitely...
00:31:33
Neptvne Blvez
Wayne slowed down. You know Wayne used to give us mixtape on mixtape, but we still Wayne still give us bars.
00:31:37
Davante Adams
Nah, he... he he He definitely, I'm telling you now, you know me, I'm a you know i'm the biggest Wayne fan, bro. Wayne is just going to drop some more mixtapes, but I think that i run is, after that, though, it's a wrap.
00:31:49
Davante Adams
Because Wayne, he said this in an MTV clip a long time ago. He was saying how he just wanted to be like a tour. Like, he doing that. He just touring, bro, but Wayne packing arenas, bro.
00:32:02
Neptvne Blvez
Ain't he, um, it's either, I'm not gonna lie, it's between him or LL Cool J, between the fucking person who's been rapping the longest, ain't it?
00:32:12
Davante Adams
I don't know that.
00:32:14
Neptvne Blvez
Because l l Cool J started rapping at like 17, and that was in the 80s. And I know he still like throws a track out every now and then.
00:32:24
Davante Adams
He just did a project, didn't he?
00:32:24
Neptvne Blvez
and That's what I'm saying. Like, he did just do a project, I thought. So that's what I'm saying. LL came out in 1985, and he was, like, one of the biggest rappers ever.
00:32:36
Neptvne Blvez
So that's what I'm saying. Rakim and them don't rap no more. Ain't nobody really from 1980s throwing no projects out still. And he just dropped a project. So that's what I'm saying.
00:32:44
Davante Adams
Yeah, that's true.
00:32:46
Neptvne Blvez
Like, and Wayne been rapping since he was, what, 12?
00:32:47

00:32:50
Davante Adams

so
00:32:55
Davante Adams
Because he got with Cash Money. Yeah, he got with Cash Money, yeah.
00:32:58
Neptvne Blvez
ah So in terms of a career, who has been in the game the longest?
00:33:07

00:38:09
Davante Adams
Bro, how how long has Denzel been acting?
00:38:15
Neptvne Blvez
Oh, you think this old shark won't bite? I'd knock your head off. Your braids too tight. i don't know. I don't know what Denzel would say. That's...

Davante Adams

00:38:24
Neptvne Blvez
That's Denzel Washington. that's That's grandfather right there. that's I would call him Unk. That's Unk, but...
00:38:30
Davante Adams
This man been acting for as long as I've been living.
00:38:34
Neptvne Blvez
That's the equalizer, man. Come on, man. That's training day.
00:38:40
Davante Adams
That is, that is like, man, bro.
00:38:44
Neptvne Blvez
Denzel been acting since the fucking seventy s eighty s
00:38:48
Davante Adams
God damn. He got a bag. I ain't trying to count your bag, but Damn. That is pretty cool, man. This movie sound like it's going to be dope, though, bro. I'm actually looking forward to listening.
00:39:02
Davante Adams
know I'm sorry, listening to it because these rappers and shit just got me all over the place. I'm actually looking forward to watching this because it sounds like it's going to be entertaining.
00:39:13
Davante Adams
You know another thing, though, that should be a movie?
00:39:16
Neptvne Blvez
well
00:39:17
Davante Adams
this chart and This Trump this whole fred president, this feel like a movie right now. I feel like somebody's going to make this into a movie.
00:39:26
Neptvne Blvez
I was just about to say I would not be surprised if it's already in development and as we speak something.
00:39:32
Davante Adams
Bro.
00:39:34
Neptvne Blvez
Somebody got a script out there already.
00:39:36
Davante Adams
like When I read this stuff, I feel like I'm in like a simulation. You know me, bro. You know I'm OCD. You told me this. You told me I got OCD. But you know me. I play the city skylines. I play the games where I'm building my own city.
00:39:49
Davante Adams
This feels like one of those things where I'm building my own city on my PC on the game. And I'm just you know building buildings. And I'm just setting my own policies. But it feels like one of those. Like I don't know what I'm doing. You know what I'm saying? like The difference between that is I could press pause and save it and turn it off. Oh, my God.
00:40:08
Davante Adams
ah boy
00:40:08
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, this...
00:40:11
Davante Adams
oh
00:40:11
Neptvne Blvez
This is... Somebody pushed a button and walked away from the computer on us.
00:40:15
Davante Adams
but
00:40:17
Neptvne Blvez
This shit... This shit on autopilot for the next couple thousand years. is And we and this motherfucker are going panic mode. Pandemonium.
00:40:26
Davante Adams
Bro, when you read these headlines,
00:40:27
Neptvne Blvez
For real, because...
00:40:31
Davante Adams
it ain't funny. I'm just saying, like, it is nuts, bro. Like, we really living in this stuff.
00:40:39
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, don't know if you've seen that movie Don't Look Up, but that shit reminds me of that a little bit.
00:40:43
Davante Adams
Yes. Yeah, I have.
00:40:44
Neptvne Blvez
It reminds me of that shit.
00:40:45
Davante Adams
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:48
Neptvne Blvez
That shit is a little bit disturbing sometimes when you like, or don't know if you've seen The Boys.
00:40:48
Davante Adams
It's.
00:40:55
Neptvne Blvez
Sometimes it reminds me of The Boys. Like, I know it's a superhero show and everything, but just so how carefree ah certain people who are in positions of authority are and how blatantly they can be and that show was an exaggeration and like was basically supposed to be satire but it's crazy because this is starting to become our reality
00:41:20
Davante Adams
Right. And it, and it, not right. Like how does, how does this, did it don't feel real. You got the national guards in DC. You heard, you saw him talking to, uh, to Johnson. He sending he said, he's sending them here.
00:41:38
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, man, they got, I've seen a video of motherfuckers just sitting on their porch, getting not stopped, I guess, they was already sitting down. But, like, they were getting talked to. Dude just walked up to them and was like, can I see your ID and shit like that? he's like, no, like, why do you need to? And it's like because of Trump.
00:41:55
Davante Adams
yeah
00:41:56
Neptvne Blvez
What Trump said, he's going around checking on people, making sure they don't have records or warrants and they're not criminals so that he can clean up the streets. And they about to do that shit in, like, Chicago and New York.
00:42:08
Neptvne Blvez
And other numerous big cities, apparently. But, um...
00:42:13
Davante Adams
that's wild
00:42:14
Neptvne Blvez
I wouldn't be surprised if they got a lot of resistance from that shit. I definitely wouldn't be surprised.
00:42:21
Davante Adams
that That just is sad because we, it's supposed to be America. I thought America about to land in freedom.
00:42:30
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah. ain't gonna lie.
00:42:34
Neptvne Blvez
It might be 2025 and it might be America, but... It's real. um I don't know the exact word for it but um is it? i don't know. I guess it passes. Is it passive aggressive when someone is like that?
00:42:52
Neptvne Blvez
D'office, it's like if somebody does something stupid in an office space and you have to put it in an email and you have to do it in a polite way, even though you want to call them stupid. And you basically have to be politically correct about the way that you word and say and do certain stuff, even though you know it's stupid. D'office, it's like nobody likes each other, nobody folks with each other and everybody's doing things their own way and they're using a bunch of big words.
00:43:15
Neptvne Blvez
and saying it and doing it a certain way so that they can try to hope that people be okay with it. And then if not, then they're just going to lie then do whatever fuck they want anyway, because I ain't going lie. Big T, big T Trump has doing whatever the fuck he want in that seat.
00:43:32
Neptvne Blvez
And some people agree with it. Some people don't. Whatever you do, that's your bag of chips. But to be that, to be, to be in the, to, to, y'all can't tell me motherfuckers wouldn't have been in an uproar if Obama was doing shit to the exact same way and to the exact same regard that he's doing.
00:43:32
Davante Adams
i said
00:43:50
Neptvne Blvez
Fuck the decisions and fuck the opinions of how, of, yeah, like, it's one thing for him to believe what he believes in.
00:43:53
Davante Adams
I acted.
00:43:57
Neptvne Blvez
That's what I'm saying. Like, everybody's entitled to their belief and I'm not defending what he believes in, but I'm just saying, even if Obama believed what he believed in to the same degree a little bit,
00:44:09
Neptvne Blvez
which he wouldn't but even if we're gonna play devil's advocate to say if you would it would nearly get done the way it do but man nah but like i said it's like certain things never in pre it's not it hasn't been done this way presidential history for a reason it's like we got a reality tv star as the president in the second term bro it needs the entrepreneur and everything else but we can't forget this man is a reality tv star
00:44:25
Davante Adams
And he just ended up breaking all the rules.
00:44:36
Davante Adams
That's what was going to say. But he, the man to be a business man, though. You know what saying?
00:44:45
Neptvne Blvez
He is. But when you got out, that's a jack of all trades.
00:44:46
Davante Adams
And that.
00:44:49
Neptvne Blvez
That's a dangerous man.
00:44:50
Davante Adams
That's a danger. Exactly. Because you got it. That's what I was going to say. it's it's It's a lot. It's a lot.
00:44:57
Neptvne Blvez
To have all that power and to have a poker face and to be a great actor and to not show your hand and to play fate, like, the that's great in politics, bro.
00:45:09
Davante Adams
the thing is, though, you got to give his whole team credit, though. Let me tell you why. Because they knew. where culture was. They knew how to tap in with the culture. That's the only reason that feel like, because a lot of people ain't saying it, and it's a lot of people that did vote for Trump, and they don't want to speak up, but why do you think that
00:45:31
Neptvne Blvez
All right.
00:45:31
Davante Adams
He got as popular as he did. you know what saying? He just tapped into the... He just really got into... He went to the podcast. You know what saying? They weren't doing that. They was they was doing a the regular old... Man, times change. You got to adapt.
00:45:44
Davante Adams
And they didn't adapt. And he just had people around him that adapted. you know I'm saying? You know his son told him to on a podcast. He chose his podcast and stuff. So to to any of the future politicians... Because I ain't going to lie. He ain't be get away with that but That whole new election, third term, without any that ain't happening, bro. He got to go.
00:46:04
Davante Adams
You're going to see somebody getting dragged out the White House for the first time. going to be hilarious. I'm telling you, bro. It's not going to go, bro.
00:46:11
Neptvne Blvez
Man,
00:46:12
Davante Adams
But to the next person who ever run it, man, they got to tap in with the culture. They got to know what's going on. You got to know how to talk to the people. and you got to make change. You know you gotta to be got to be for the people, man.
00:46:28
Davante Adams
That's all I'm going to say about that.
00:46:29
Neptvne Blvez
we...
00:46:30
Davante Adams
Because, ah you know, like we said, we don't really like to dive in too much to the politics. But it's just, I feel like I'm playing City Skylines right now.
00:46:37
Neptvne Blvez
man
00:46:38
Davante Adams
And I feel like I'm on my third year right now.
00:46:38
Neptvne Blvez
we
00:46:41
Davante Adams
And I done made a couple of decisions where i was trying to, you know, give put me some money away. And I had messed around and Sign a couple of bills. you know I'm just talking from the city skyline.
00:46:52
Davante Adams
This ain't no ad in there, man.
00:46:53
Neptvne Blvez
He said two.
00:46:53
Davante Adams
Shout out city skylines, by the way. um so City skylines, two. Not the first one, two. We on two.
00:47:00
Neptvne Blvez
and that shift
00:47:02
Davante Adams
Yeah, they on. Hey,
00:47:05
Neptvne Blvez
you said so
00:47:07
Davante Adams
bro, before we get out of here, though, man, Grand Theft Auto 6. I know we, I told you, we talking. don't care. What do you think about Grant the bottle, are you looking forward to it?
00:47:19
Davante Adams
Are you kind of like over it? Because you know we game.
00:47:23
Neptvne Blvez
oh It's going to be dangerous, brother. Grand Theft Auto 6? I ain't going to lie. I got great optimism for that game because I've been a lifelong Grand Theft Auto fan. I've been playing Grand Theft Auto since I can hold a controller.
00:47:39
Neptvne Blvez
And I am not bullshitting you.
00:47:39
Davante Adams
this is gonna
00:47:41
Neptvne Blvez
Ever since I can hold a controller, I've been playing Grand Theft Auto.
00:47:41
Davante Adams
That's dope.
00:47:45
Davante Adams
You know what started on?
00:47:45
Neptvne Blvez
I've been playing... What?
00:47:47
Davante Adams
Gran Turismo.
00:47:49
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah?
00:47:51
Davante Adams
Yeah, Gran Turismo.
00:47:51
Neptvne Blvez
The...
00:47:53
Neptvne Blvez
but You look like you like the I'm surprised you know steering wheel. I know you like race car game.
00:47:58
Davante Adams
yeah i just gave I just gave it to my brother. I just bought steering wheel and gave it to my brother, literally. Because I was just like, I'm not going to use it for real.
00:48:04
Neptvne Blvez
Wow.
00:48:06
Davante Adams
And there was a couple of things that I knew he was going to buy for it that I wasn't going buy at the moment. So i was just like, I know. Let's give it to him. Because it was like a $300 steering wheel, he told me. I got it for $50.
00:48:20
Davante Adams
I'm like, okay.
00:48:20
Neptvne Blvez
That's actually a good deal.
00:48:22
Davante Adams
I didn't know. I just grabbed it. and He was just like, boy, that's a good one. I'm oh, you can have it. I don't want so ah But, ah oh, yeah, Grand Theft Auto 6. You know, I play 5M, man. And I just hope that it's – hope they really do their thing, man. They done bought You know I'm saying? So they have the full control of everything that is 5M. So anybody that's not familiar with 5M, it's like a modded GTA where, you know, Tee Grizzly, he got his own server and stuff. It's, you know, people role play.
00:48:58
Davante Adams
And then you could add so much. You could build your own city at a point, you know. It's just pretty cool. But I hope they can live up to that because if it don't, then it's going to be another just...
00:49:10
Neptvne Blvez
You want to know something I saw online, and I'm not exactly sure if this is true or not. But I hope that it is. So, they said that GTA 6 may have Spotify integration into the radio stations.
00:49:20
Davante Adams
Okay.
00:49:28
Davante Adams
Yeah. I saw that too.
00:49:31
Neptvne Blvez
And that um yeah home if your homie gets into your car, they could be like, yo, bro, let me get the aux, and they can connect a Spotify. ah because this it'll be linked to your account and this, then, and the third, so they can connect their Spotify to the car or something like that.
00:49:49
Neptvne Blvez
And then they could play a playlist or like certain songs and shit.
00:49:49
Davante Adams
Maybe...
00:49:53
Neptvne Blvez
So you can have... Because I remember on... um That's something like on... I remember like on the Saints Row games, you could like play your own music. That's something that I miss.
00:50:04
Neptvne Blvez
like You used to be able to...
00:50:05
Davante Adams
Yeah, thanks, Rob.
00:50:07
Neptvne Blvez
You used to be able to on like Saints Row 2, I believe, you used to be able to play, unless I'm like thinking about like just playing music on the console itself, I believe I thought you used to be able to like play, you could upload tracks or you could play you can there's a radio station in the game where you can go to your uh tracks inside of the the game itself and then you can play the songs that are on the device so if you get games on your 360 or your xbox you can play the songs on the radio station in the game that's what i'm saying if they have something like that but with spotify oh my gosh
00:50:35
Davante Adams
and
00:50:39
Davante Adams
yeah i remember those yeah i remember that
00:50:48
Davante Adams
they gonna have it they gonna have spotify on there like spotify they say to everybody there's so many rappers supposed to have their own like radio stations like it's gonna be this game is supposed to be like a game that's gonna last damn near any
00:51:00
Neptvne Blvez
T-Pain.
00:51:02
Davante Adams
Yeah, T-Pain definitely just said he in the game. He just confirmed that. You know, what's his name? Kasanat, he in the game. oh It's a lot of them in the game, bro. It's a lot of celebrities in this game.
00:51:13
Neptvne Blvez
But I mean T-Pain getting his own station.
00:51:16
Davante Adams
Yeah, Drake going to have his own station, too, they said.
00:51:19
Neptvne Blvez
Yeah, I heard about that too.
00:51:21
Davante Adams
Mm-hmm. Shout out Rockstar, man. I hope y'all really come through for the culture, man. We miss y'all. For real, man. Anything else you want to say next to him, man, I appreciate that you coming through, bro. We definitely did our thing.
00:51:34
Davante Adams
this is ah This is longer than I expected for sure, man. This is an honor, bro. I appreciate you coming through and just gracing us with your presence like I told you, man.
00:51:46
Davante Adams
Like I said, it's going to be a good thing to listen back to, and I know somebody's going to enjoy this and appreciate the conversation.
00:51:56
Neptvne Blvez
And it's always a pleasure, brother. You know, um I appreciate being here. I mean, one final thing I got to say, I guess, to everybody is just to keep it going. You know, if you do got some mental health issues, get checked out.
00:52:11
Neptvne Blvez
Check you know I'm saying? Call somebody, call your people, call and number if you need to, a mental health hotline if you need to. or um you know what I'm saying? Just check on your people also. Don't just know what I'm saying, think that everybody's okay, just because it appears to be that way, you know, it's a lot of people battling stuff out here and got struggles, so um definitely just think about your fellow man, your fellow woman, ah your fellow person, human being, and just um check on any and everybody that you you care about, you know,
00:52:51
Davante Adams
it's easy to sit by yourself and just get stuck in your head with all your thoughts. We have a million thoughts in couple of minutes. When you're so much in an you know what I'm saying? We're just thinking so much. So it's a battle with yourself. Sometimes you got to just find somebody to talk to or find an outlet to that peace. You know what I'm saying? Just get some peace.
00:53:13
Davante Adams
and So like Neptune said, too, get the help if you need it. oh Because it's real. It's a battle out here, man. It's tough. It's not it' not easy. you know We sit here. We laugh. We joke. We have fun. Because we got to get through life. You got to enjoy life somehow. You got to get a kick out of it.
00:53:30
Davante Adams
you know But it's serious out here. you know Pray for everybody who's going through it. Stay strong. It's going to be different. You know you got to adapt. That's all.
00:53:40
Davante Adams
But Neptune, I appreciate you again, my brother. oh I did have a song that you like that I played. When we just having our difficulty, did you want me to should I end the segment that way, or did you want me to play the new era? All
00:53:57
Neptvne Blvez
Um, no, either way, it's fine with you. um New Arrow would be fine, but I like the last song you did, too. That's fine, too.
00:54:07
Davante Adams
right, we're going to end this with an unreleased track by your boy, the one and only Zitae.
00:54:13
Neptvne Blvez
Hey.
