00:00:00.421 --> 00:00:01.566
That's what's wrong with the world.
00:00:01.566 --> 00:00:05.070
Everybody feel like they can't accept wisdom.
00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:11.769
You can't act like the little homies, looking at the big homies like they're not.
00:00:11.769 --> 00:00:12.973
The big homies, no more.
00:00:12.973 --> 00:00:16.582
And nowadays the big homies messing up by being little homies.
00:00:16.582 --> 00:00:37.725
Welcome to the CJ Moneyway Show and I'm with y'all's, cj Moneyway.
00:01:02.476 --> 00:01:03.018
Let's get it.
00:01:03.018 --> 00:01:03.338
What's up?
00:01:03.338 --> 00:01:04.509
It's your boy, cj Moneyway.
00:01:04.509 --> 00:01:05.876
I'm on the Moneyway Show with my man, mr Moe, in the building.
00:01:05.876 --> 00:01:06.424
What's up, what's up, bro.
00:01:06.424 --> 00:01:06.632
What's up, what's up?
00:01:06.632 --> 00:01:06.959
It's your boy, cj Moneyway.
00:01:06.915 --> 00:01:07.802
I'm on the Moneyway Show with my man, mr Moe, in the building.
00:01:07.802 --> 00:01:10.411
What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's happening.
00:01:11.682 --> 00:01:17.236
So, mr Moe man, you know, I know you're promoting a new album, so tell people about your album, man.
00:01:17.980 --> 00:01:21.250
Man new album called Unfinished Business.
00:01:21.250 --> 00:01:24.046
Been almost 20 years.
00:01:24.046 --> 00:01:26.311
Next year, 2024.
00:01:26.311 --> 00:01:30.271
Started 2004, my first actual album.
00:01:30.271 --> 00:01:36.472
So I'm just back to let people know that I just love doing music.
00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:43.118
So with your album you know what I'm saying Because I listened to the first one, heard the second one.
00:01:43.118 --> 00:01:45.587
I love that intro on that last one.
00:01:45.587 --> 00:01:51.090
So let me ask a question so what inspired you to start doing music, man?
00:01:51.090 --> 00:01:54.170
You know, I know we from the same hood, we from the 49.
00:01:54.170 --> 00:02:05.525
So is it like life experiences, that you went through things that you went through your life, you know, that inspired you to actually start getting into the rap game, start doing hip-hop?
00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:13.350
Oh for sure because, coming from where we come from, you see so much to the point where you got a lot to say.
00:02:13.350 --> 00:02:22.806
The only outlet I had was the microphone and music, and that's what I knew, how to get my way out, how to get what I saw out.
00:02:22.806 --> 00:02:28.450
Now, this time, I'm bringing nothing but the truth, because that's all it's about.
00:02:28.450 --> 00:02:29.193
Now is the truth.
00:02:29.193 --> 00:02:32.028
This new album is called Unfinished Business because of that.
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:46.786
Unfinished Business is because of some things that you wanted to accomplish earlier in albums past or Unfinished Business as far as things that's pertaining to your life, things that's pertaining to my life.
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:54.530
One thing I feel like I never gave them 100% me, so this time around I'm coming with 100% me.
00:02:55.181 --> 00:02:56.584
A lot of times we do.
00:02:56.584 --> 00:03:02.677
We tend to hold out the important parts of life.
00:03:02.677 --> 00:03:03.680
You know what I'm saying.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:24.169
So it's kind of things that when we leave certain elements out of our life, then we leave in the people, we leave in our fans, we leave in our audience in suspense Because, like you say, that's not the real you, that's not the real me, and so people want us to be authentic.
00:03:24.169 --> 00:03:30.049
So if I go in front of people they want to hear things that's authentic.
00:03:30.241 --> 00:03:31.354
I want to hear the real you.
00:03:31.375 --> 00:03:38.562
Everything is not cookies and creams all the time bro, and that's what I'm on, because I never gave them what I've really been through.
00:03:38.562 --> 00:03:45.004
I only give them good music because my brain holds so many thoughts of music.
00:03:45.004 --> 00:03:47.475
I can make a song of so many ways.
00:03:47.475 --> 00:03:53.103
I can go so many ways with music, to the point where I don't have to give my real life, I just make music.
00:03:53.103 --> 00:03:58.967
I can make happy music, I can do dance music, real music.
00:03:58.967 --> 00:04:05.068
But now it's all about my life, from my point of view and what I saw my life.
00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:08.048
You know what I'm saying From my point of view and what I saw in life.
00:04:08.048 --> 00:04:09.926
So I'm finna, give them the real me.
00:04:09.926 --> 00:04:13.604
It ain't gonna be all sweet Gonna.
00:04:13.604 --> 00:04:22.238
Get ready to cry, get ready to laugh, get ready to dance, get ready to party, get ready for a lot in this music, this new album.
00:04:22.238 --> 00:04:23.526
That's all I can say really.
00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:29.009
Yeah, because you know, music is one thing that can bring people together.
00:04:29.009 --> 00:04:30.483
Music is universal.
00:04:30.483 --> 00:04:31.769
You know what I'm saying.
00:04:31.769 --> 00:04:43.259
Like you listen to it in your car, People listen to it at home while they're cleaning up the house on a weekend, People listen to it while they're at work, you put your buds in or whatever.
00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:45.505
So music is the thing that.
00:04:45.505 --> 00:04:51.711
It gets people happy, it gets people excited, it gets people moving, it uplifts people.
00:04:51.711 --> 00:05:00.329
So is there anything on this new album, Unfinished Business that's going to be an uplifting type song, as you were saying?
00:05:00.329 --> 00:05:01.478
I was talking to you earlier.
00:05:01.478 --> 00:05:05.709
You was talking about a gospel type, gospel type song.
00:05:05.709 --> 00:05:06.752
So what's that all about?
00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:11.011
Growth and everything God didn't let.
00:05:11.011 --> 00:05:21.971
He spared me so many years, to the point where I feel like I ain't giving him all his props and I just want to put it in a song of everything I've been through as far as.
00:05:21.971 --> 00:05:27.069
Like that's probably where I just said get ready to cry, because there's going to be some deep stuff in there.
00:05:27.069 --> 00:05:33.870
To the point where I done seen stuff that I know it couldn't have been my time because it was designed.
00:05:33.870 --> 00:05:35.204
I was right in front of it.
00:05:35.204 --> 00:05:40.946
So if he got me through that, I just want to put it in the music.
00:05:40.946 --> 00:05:44.329
To the point where, instead of talking about it, I want to get it out in the song.
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:51.021
On that tip too.
00:05:51.021 --> 00:05:53.629
You know talking about God and how he brings us out of certain situations and things of that nature.
00:05:53.629 --> 00:06:05.733
The Bible tells us that, having a form of godliness but denying the powers thereof, and so a lot of times in life, our spirit man is dormant.
00:06:05.733 --> 00:06:12.232
And what I mean by that, by being dormant, is that we're not just like your natural body.
00:06:12.391 --> 00:06:12.773
Yeah.
00:06:13.012 --> 00:06:13.494
Got to eat.
00:06:13.494 --> 00:06:15.059
You know what I'm saying.
00:06:15.059 --> 00:06:29.447
You got to eat some chicken, or, if you're a vegetarian, you eat salads or whatever you eat, but you got to eat some type of nourishment to strengthen your body, and so that's the same thing with the word.
00:06:29.447 --> 00:06:33.747
And so, with your spirit, your spirit has to be fed.
00:06:33.747 --> 00:06:35.384
You feel what I'm saying?
00:06:35.384 --> 00:06:43.447
And so what I mean by your spirit has to be fed is that I got to read this word to feed me.
00:06:43.447 --> 00:06:55.687
So, therefore, now you becoming now, with this unfinished business, you're coming into the knowledge where God has brought me from, for now, brought me from 25th Avenue.
00:06:55.687 --> 00:07:02.050
I've experienced some things in life, I saw some things in life, and now my direction is here.
00:07:02.050 --> 00:07:14.629
Now I'm seeing God more clearly, and so I just want to know your thoughts on when did you get to the point, or when did you get to that situation where you say you know what, god, I need you all the more.
00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:16.687
Oh, man, my brother passed.
00:07:16.687 --> 00:07:24.610
Man, my brother passed and took me to a whole avenue where I thought I was never going to come back.
00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:30.387
But for him, he found a way to show me that it is a way back.
00:07:30.387 --> 00:07:32.862
I hit my mind on something else.
00:07:32.862 --> 00:07:41.262
So, god telling me to stay humble, stay happy and stay A loving father.
00:07:41.262 --> 00:07:56.625
So, because it's so easy to steer the wrong way and I know my life and the struggle of life that it's so easy to go down the road that you don't supposed to go down, because if you believe it's a God, you got to believe it's a devil.
00:07:56.625 --> 00:07:59.745
And the devil played the God work, and that's real.
00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:06.112
Loss is something that a lot of us take different people grieve different.
00:08:06.112 --> 00:08:12.540
So when you lose somebody, sometimes it takes you to the point, just like what you said.
00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:24.976
It woke me up to a different level of life, because sometimes you can see something and something happened right in front of you and then you realize, like man, this is real, because my old man.
00:08:24.976 --> 00:08:32.846
You can see something and something happened right in front of you and then you realize, like man, this is real, it's real, you know, because you know, like my old man, as we just got to talk about, not too long ago he passed away.
00:08:32.846 --> 00:08:34.506
You know, same day of your birthday.
00:08:34.506 --> 00:08:36.629
Yeah, and you know that was.
00:08:36.629 --> 00:08:38.110
That was a hard loss for me.
00:08:38.110 --> 00:08:42.341
Yeah, but even though it was a hard loss for me, it was more so.
00:08:42.341 --> 00:08:45.489
It was more of a hard loss for my mother.
00:08:45.489 --> 00:08:47.480
You feel what I'm saying?
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:52.484
Yeah, and so I lost a father, but she lost a husband Dang.
00:08:52.845 --> 00:08:53.285
You feel me.
00:08:53.606 --> 00:08:54.489
I see what you're saying.
00:08:54.489 --> 00:09:04.365
That's how I feel about my mama, because I lost a brother but she lost a son and it's like I watch her every day.
00:09:04.365 --> 00:09:15.442
I can't never tell her it's going to get better, but I learned that when I make a song for her it soothes her, like if I make a song saying something good about.
00:09:15.442 --> 00:09:19.240
That's how I put the good in what my brother did in music.
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:31.629
Instead of taking it to a point where it's all sad, I just let her know he in a better place, but ain't nothing gonna help that because I ain't never lost a child so I really can't.
00:09:31.629 --> 00:09:32.274
You know what I mean.
00:09:32.274 --> 00:09:39.802
That's kind of a hard pill to swallow for me, but I just watch her every day, try to be a better person, and that's how I feel about this unfinished business.
00:09:39.802 --> 00:09:44.230
That's why I'm coming out to the point where all that's going into music.
00:09:44.230 --> 00:09:45.695
I want to give a shout out.
00:09:46.015 --> 00:09:49.902
I just lost a partner, one of my brothers from church.
00:09:49.902 --> 00:09:54.326
Man, I just lost a partner on the 20th of this month, november.
00:09:54.326 --> 00:10:00.841
So I want to give a shout out to my girl, beck, just letting y'all know that I love you, my boy Rolando.
00:10:00.841 --> 00:10:08.326
But yeah, man, lost man, it can change you in different directions, man.
00:10:08.326 --> 00:10:25.620
And because, like we were just talking not too long ago, because when I lost my grandmother that hurt, like I said, I was out at the cemetery probably once a week when I first lost my grandmother, you know, because people take things differently, my grandmother, you know, because people take things differently.
00:10:25.660 --> 00:10:37.206
But, as you were saying, as you were alluding to one thing that I take from it, you know, is that the things that they saw in you when you was coming up, that you didn't see in yourself.
00:10:37.206 --> 00:10:47.712
Now it's like you get to that point, like you know what I want to make you proud, although you won't be able to see it in the natural, but in the spiritual.
00:10:47.712 --> 00:11:05.224
I know you watch it, you know what I'm saying and I'm going to try to be everything and do everything that you saw in me that I can do, because the Bible also tells us that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
00:11:05.224 --> 00:11:06.793
You feel what I'm saying.
00:11:06.813 --> 00:11:12.524
That's real and so you know, like I was saying earlier, we came up from the same block from 4-9.
00:11:12.524 --> 00:11:29.729
I'm a little older than you, so coming up from where we come from and I can say that, literally coming up from where we come from, from 4-9, you know people in Gary just like how we know all the projects in Gary.
00:11:29.729 --> 00:11:31.432
Everybody knows what 4ix9ine is.
00:11:31.432 --> 00:11:35.765
So what was that experience coming up on 4ix9ine?
00:11:35.765 --> 00:11:42.595
What type of life experiences that propelled you to be the man that you are today, coming from that environment?
00:11:42.774 --> 00:11:46.063
Yeah, coming from that environment man, I saw snakes.
00:11:46.063 --> 00:11:56.350
It was like you see so much to the point where I grew up fast Childhood was basically knowing that I had to.
00:11:56.350 --> 00:12:00.565
It was just crazy because I seen people die in front of me.
00:12:00.565 --> 00:12:03.022
I just seen a lot and that's real.
00:12:03.543 --> 00:12:12.664
when I seen that, Because you know, like you said, you had snakes, you had haters, you had all types of things all in the same circle.
00:12:12.664 --> 00:12:18.587
So it was times where we was beefing with people in our own neighborhoods.
00:12:18.735 --> 00:12:30.764
Like crazy you talk about around, you're beefing with somebody that's around the corner from you, so when you wake up we see each other at the gas station at the same time You're beefing with somebody in the same neighborhood.
00:12:30.764 --> 00:12:37.268
It's weird, but it's kind of like letting you know like we gotta do it for the kids, man.
00:12:37.268 --> 00:12:38.899
It ain't about like.
00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:41.774
That's why this CD right here is gonna be about growth.
00:12:41.774 --> 00:12:53.288
If you heard any of my music before, this album right here I'm really going deep into for the kids the growth of Gary, the growth of the world.
00:12:53.288 --> 00:12:55.394
It ain't about just Gary, it's about the world.
00:12:55.695 --> 00:13:03.149
I want everybody in the world to know it ain't cool to be a hood person or somebody.
00:13:03.149 --> 00:13:07.441
It ain't nothing to glorify, going to jail or killing somebody.
00:13:07.441 --> 00:13:13.859
To glorify is you save somebody's life, you help somebody.
00:13:13.859 --> 00:13:16.383
Let's go clean up the neighbor's yard.
00:13:16.383 --> 00:13:17.640
Let's go clean up the neighborhood.
00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:21.500
Let's stop messing up the neighborhood and clean up the neighborhood.
00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:23.541
That's what it's about nowadays.
00:13:23.541 --> 00:13:24.284
I had to open my own eyes Don't get it twisted.
00:13:24.284 --> 00:13:26.320
I was the same and clean up the neighborhood that's what it's about nowadays.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:26.889
I had to open my own eyes Don't get it twisted.
00:13:26.889 --> 00:13:30.277
I was the same person messing up the neighborhood, but now it's like cleaning up the neighborhood.
00:13:30.277 --> 00:13:31.221
That's where my brain at.
00:13:31.815 --> 00:13:36.461
Yeah, like you say, that's all about growth and maturity.
00:13:36.461 --> 00:13:48.821
We are living in a society where people, just a lot of people, just it seems like I'm not saying that they don't, but it seems like they just don't care.
00:13:48.821 --> 00:13:51.202
Yeah, you feel what I'm saying.
00:13:51.202 --> 00:14:02.283
It's like y'all going out here robbing folks, carjacking, running into jewelry stores, high speed chases with the police.
00:14:02.283 --> 00:14:08.227
I've never seen so many men beating on women you know what I'm saying Killing women.
00:14:08.554 --> 00:14:11.403
Like back in our day, bro, that's just keeping 100.
00:14:11.864 --> 00:14:14.600
Back in our day, man, I wasn't beating on no woman.
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:21.427
The only thing that I was trying to beat on Right Right.
00:14:23.157 --> 00:14:24.948
Well, some of the truth ain't got to be explained.
00:14:25.475 --> 00:14:27.383
Some truth ain't got to be explained.
00:14:27.936 --> 00:14:30.024
Nine days is so weird.
00:14:30.024 --> 00:14:37.509
I had thought about it as kids raising kids and the TV and the Internet changing the world.
00:14:37.509 --> 00:14:39.123
But it's not our fault.
00:14:39.123 --> 00:14:40.370
It's bigger than us.
00:14:40.370 --> 00:14:41.294
You know what I'm saying.
00:14:41.294 --> 00:14:58.885
So if you got somebody that you can put your hands on, put your hands on them and tell them nothing but the real.
00:14:58.885 --> 00:14:59.706
You know what I'm saying.
00:14:59.706 --> 00:15:01.148
You could have helped that person.
00:15:01.148 --> 00:15:09.952
Nowadays we got to put our hands on our close ones because the person that's out there doing bad got a brother, got a cousin, got an auntie, got an uncle.
00:15:09.952 --> 00:15:14.145
Now it's at a point where we got to put our hands on them.
00:15:14.145 --> 00:15:18.181
Like you don't have to do this If I got to help you not do this.
00:15:18.341 --> 00:15:19.745
How can I help you not do this?
00:15:20.676 --> 00:15:23.940
And that's real man and that's real man like we.
00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:26.235
Like you said, you said something.
00:15:26.235 --> 00:15:42.341
You said something about kids, raising kids, and so a lot of times it's not, it's not necessarily the kids fault that they out there living the type of lifestyle that they live.
00:15:42.341 --> 00:15:43.854
You feel what I'm saying?
00:15:43.854 --> 00:15:58.102
A lot of times it's our fault as parents that the way that we raise them, I don't care if we call ourselves giving them more than what we have, which sometimes can be considered sheltering them.
00:15:58.102 --> 00:16:05.322
You know what I'm saying and they're not holding their full responsibility because we're not holding them to that.
00:16:05.322 --> 00:16:10.046
You know things are different and it has been different from generations.
00:16:10.166 --> 00:16:12.841
Now you know it just didn't start with this generation.
00:16:13.264 --> 00:16:25.067
Right, my parents was a little more lenient to me and my brother than their parents was to them, and I can admit I've been a little more lenient to my children than my parents were.
00:16:25.067 --> 00:16:27.058
But one thing don't change.
00:16:27.058 --> 00:16:28.101
What's that?
00:16:28.101 --> 00:16:29.065
And that's principles.
00:16:29.065 --> 00:16:38.745
Yeah, you have to teach your kids morals and values and, as you said, and you have to do that by example.
00:16:39.086 --> 00:16:39.386
Yeah.
00:16:39.715 --> 00:16:51.743
You have to be an example, bro, not only to your own children or whatever, but when you walk in differently and you start thinking differently and you mature in life, people see that.
00:16:51.743 --> 00:17:00.476
And so when people see the maturity and they see that something is different about you, they're going to come and inquire what it is.
00:17:00.476 --> 00:17:04.865
And so when they come and inquire what it is about you, that's different.
00:17:04.865 --> 00:17:11.428
You got to have something in you that's going to be able to help the next man or the next woman.
00:17:11.449 --> 00:17:11.954
You know what I'm saying.
00:17:12.154 --> 00:17:15.662
Like I just don't talk to men, which I do talk to men.
00:17:15.662 --> 00:17:17.976
You know I try to mentor men, you know.
00:17:17.976 --> 00:17:19.863
You know from example.
00:17:19.942 --> 00:17:20.505
Oh, for sure.
00:17:20.755 --> 00:17:26.131
I took you under my wing Not saying that you wasn't a grown man, but me and you were taught.
00:17:26.250 --> 00:17:30.163
Oh yeah, for sure you feel what I'm saying From the moment that we first met each other.
00:17:30.234 --> 00:17:33.923
I respect wisdom, like that's what's wrong with the world.
00:17:33.923 --> 00:17:37.424
Everybody feel like they can't accept wisdom.
00:17:37.424 --> 00:17:40.439
You can't act like Everybody.
00:17:40.439 --> 00:17:45.328
The little homies looking at the big homies like they're not the big homies, no more.
00:17:45.328 --> 00:17:48.904
And nowadays the big homies messing up by being little homies.
00:17:48.904 --> 00:17:50.422
You know what I'm saying.
00:17:50.422 --> 00:18:02.575
If it makes sense, if it makes sense, the little homies ain't looking up to the big homies because the big homies ain't really in the level of they ain't looking like big homies, no more.
00:18:02.575 --> 00:18:05.785
They ain't telling the youth what to do and what not to do.
00:18:05.785 --> 00:18:07.279
Everything just go.
00:18:07.875 --> 00:18:24.820
Well, you know, we can go back to what I just said a few minutes ago, and that's the same thing as parenting, even when I was coming up, like some of the people that I was hanging out with, they was older than me, but we were doing the same things.
00:18:24.820 --> 00:18:25.763
You feel what I'm?
00:18:25.763 --> 00:18:28.436
Saying and so by us doing the same things.
00:18:28.436 --> 00:18:31.481
There was no real guidance there.
00:18:31.755 --> 00:18:35.086
When somebody would tell me well, no, corey, you know what I'm saying.
00:18:35.086 --> 00:18:37.622
Don't go out there and do this man.
00:18:37.622 --> 00:18:42.958
Hey, when you go out there and you messing around with these women and you doing this man, hey, strap up.
00:18:42.958 --> 00:18:43.500
You know?
00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:51.162
But wasn't nobody really there to lead me in a different direction, because we was all going in the same direction?
00:18:51.423 --> 00:18:51.644
Right.
00:18:51.763 --> 00:18:52.666
You feel what I'm saying.
00:18:52.666 --> 00:19:02.238
And so a lot of times when you all in the same boat, Nobody is in the other boat that's going in another direction.
00:19:02.238 --> 00:19:10.659
Therefore, we all going in the same boat and we was living a life that was leading us straight to hell.
00:19:10.659 --> 00:19:13.251
Somebody got to get out of that boat.
00:19:13.251 --> 00:19:15.131
You feel what I'm saying?
00:19:15.131 --> 00:19:22.638
Not only to get out the boat to save yourself, but to save him that was in the boat with you.
00:19:24.087 --> 00:19:24.309
Right.
00:19:24.511 --> 00:19:25.346
You feel what I'm saying.
00:19:26.028 --> 00:19:33.950
And it's kind of a point of view that people don't see that ain't nobody putting their hand down to reach people up.
00:19:33.950 --> 00:19:34.332
No more.
00:19:34.332 --> 00:19:38.534
It's like when I get it, I got it, forget everybody else.
00:19:38.534 --> 00:19:43.134
We got to reach out to make sure the next person good.
00:19:44.987 --> 00:19:49.337
And I put this on everything I love, bro, on everything I love.
00:19:49.337 --> 00:19:56.336
The Money Way Show is a platform where, if anybody want to come on the Money Way Show, get their thoughts.
00:19:56.336 --> 00:19:59.019
Opinions want to talk about the word, want to talk about life in general.
00:19:59.019 --> 00:20:02.125
Opinions want to talk about the word, want to talk about life in general.
00:20:02.125 --> 00:20:10.130
It's a spot Because, just like you just said, if nobody is reaching back for those that's behind us, then where we going to go?
00:20:10.130 --> 00:20:11.728
It ain't like I'm going on.
00:20:11.728 --> 00:20:14.992
It ain't like I'm fit to go on TNT anytime soon.
00:20:14.992 --> 00:20:20.409
Shaq ain't fit to put me on Shaq and the Fool or on his podcast.
00:20:20.409 --> 00:20:23.356
Kevin Hart ain't fit to put me on his podcast.
00:20:23.356 --> 00:20:26.659
I'm not fit to go on Drink Champs no time soon.
00:20:26.679 --> 00:20:27.223
You know what I'm saying.
00:20:27.223 --> 00:20:28.711
Nine days we're living in the world.
00:20:28.711 --> 00:20:31.372
They don't want you to be bigger than them.
00:20:31.992 --> 00:20:35.452
Well, not even just bigger than them.
