train station behind me in detroit and this is a legendary landmark in a city that s been abandoned since i ve been born, you know what i mean? since 1988, for 30 years. so, ford is revamping. and not only that, they re pouring so much money into the neighborhood. so like for the past few years the renaissance of detroit has been going on. new stadiums, new energy, hotels that have been abandoned places like new businesses everywhere. this is the first time it s hit in the neighborhoods. it s a complete difference than what it used to be a few years ago. a lot of your music focuses on ambition, on drive, entrepreneurial attitude, if you want to call it that. you know, why is that so important to you? because that s different than, as you know, what some people think about hip-hop or about sometimes what people frankly think about young black men. you re focusing on a lot of positivity in business. tell me about that.
because i feel like that s what we need. i feel like we need that empowerment, that encouragement. i have a responsibility and i m not saying every song i do is to inspire and to do this, but it is in a way. even if it s a song like from one man can change the world to bounce back, it s just different inspirations in different ways. you mentioned bounce bark. explain for the people because we might have some parents of your fans watching. what does that mean when you say last night, i took it out, but then you bounce back? i mean, last night i took an l. that could be a loss, that could be a lesson, too, though. lately i ve been not looking at things as losses. i ve been looking at them as lessons, you know. you look at that, there is no such thing as losing truthfully, so that s what that is. and that s the mentality i m trying to teach. coming from a city like detroit, that s all i ve been taught, is to be a boss, you know, boss up and give back to the people you love and put t
truthfully. that s what that is, that s the mentality i m trying to teach. coming from a city like detroit, that s all i ve been taught is to be a boss, boss up and give back to the people you love ande put on, put on. give them opportunities, dreams and something to look up to. i am going to ask you about another lyric. when you say focus on the inner me, never on the enemy. what are you getting at there? a lot of people think of what is happening on the internet, and with everyone showing off is a lot of constant competition, or opponents. what are you getting at there? the power of self develop. th that is what you want to bring to the table, your best self. immigration is a big issue in
running with the likes of jay-z, beyonce and kanye west. thanks for joining me. yes, yes, sir. tell me what you re working on. thanks for having me. well, as you can see, i got the train station behind me in detroit. this is a legendary landmark in a city that s been abandoned since i ve been born. you know what i mean, since 1988, for 30 years. so ford is revamping it and not only that, they re pouring so much money into the neighborhood so like for the past few years the renaissance of detroit has been going on, new stadiums, new energy, hotels that have been abandoned. new business is everywhere. this is the first time it s actually hitting the neighborhoods and this marks that. it s a complete difference than what it used to be a few years ago. a lot of your music focuses on ambition, on drive, on why
i want to be clear. i spent over a decade working in the restaurant business and in construction business. every job imaginable. this is not about workers to me. i respect the hard work i don t care if people join a union. they shouldn t be forced to, which is my case. with that said, when you look at a city like detroit and the decision like this they re smoking pot. they are drinking, how did they get their job back? if i did that eye am outta here. well, obviously, it s troubling if workers what they do on their recreation time affects their workplace. sean: look at this. they are drinking heavily. they are smoking weed, going back to build our cars. that s not problematic for you? conceptually it s problematic, without knowing anything pleasure i have seen. but on the logic picture, which you started out with, the american workers, the envy of the world. automotive industry is the envy of the world.
