Gadgetory

maybe maybe the 50-cent SmartWatch is gonna have a little bit more of that on it yeah the more well look at me so anyways we're here to talk about SMS today right yeah yeah and I was I was out in the booth testing some stuff out I hadn't tried the noise canceling ones yet those are nice yeah on the show floor lots of noise cuts it down mm-hmm yeah so that's a that's a big thing and then the other thing you guys have got is the the ones for fitness where some sports courts ones can you tell me a little bit more about those ones well this desportes has said the sports version of SMS street right it's a it's the same size as the traditional street version and it's the same 40 millimeter driver driving the musical gadget components it's just not a low-end there right looking for that bass right and and it's it has a actually polyurethane nylon to create the durability that you know I used to twist the headset oh yeah I did that in a video I made I was looking at the original Street yeah yeah I show people yeah there's like a perforated leather around actually so it's a big difference and it's code it has a technology around it to actually waterproof see so a lot of times we'll be out and it'll start raining or and we're not actually you're not gonna take your headphones off your hat when it's actually raining out right right I feel like it's protective but it's not yeah for sure so yeah once again when you make an investment in headphones to know that they're durable it's a big deal yeah I mean I guess sweat too right yeah exactly inside the actual ear cup that did it gets through to actually you know enjoyed actually listening the right depending how hard you're working they work hard I'm not working as hard as you are man the damage that actually if you getting off with one little bead running down yet I was looking at your Instagram feed I saw you hitting a speed bag yeah today I'm like I'm not on that level if you doing a little something like I got too much or that around me not to be inspired by it I was doing a little bit of research and I found out you actually did some boxing at a young age younger some people don't know that yeah yeah do they the book Passover that I always told them that I was living vicariously through Floyd my knees because you know I actually got into it was into a long time ago without you know I I was more fans of the net Whitaker Mel to tell Michael none it was news to it was news to me but it sort of made a lot of sense you know that ended up over I don't do anything is not organic to my personality or to what I actually would use myself and music like when it comes to like what I did with vitamin water was actually it was taboo in the past it was you across across a no avoid you a sellout then it changed artists mind when they realized how much money and inspired the 360 deal cuz following that is when they started to implement the 360 deal with they did add my finances to the actual advance mmm-hmm for the causes but they they didn't add additional staff or employees that would actually get you to deal so it says if if you actually make it to the point that you actually have deals away from the actual music they get a piece of it of course but you don't then it's cool well better on the music yeah yeah most definitely no I mean in a time of sort of the the power of social media right you know influential people become that much more important right look at how influential you became the new to YouTube channel that's exactly correct you see I mean like and it's like this is a reflection of the times it's changing yeah and then not everyone is actually has the skill set or the idea to do what you actually did and a lot of times like I see I see the visual is becoming more as important as the actual song itself yeah video getting crazy that's the way people consuming music so it's like when you hear a song from a new art you maybe are you familiar with the actual artist but it's a new song you know what was that and they'll end up on YouTube yeah going to look to hear the song again and say yeah this is the song that I heard on so I'll play it few times if they enjoy it from YouTube for sure so if there's a visual or something connected we started putting out word videos like when when the song came out the video came that actually had the lyrics yeah YouTube yeah no for sure it's become a huge music player you've got videos with hundreds of millions of views you know because people are hitting that replay button they're sharing it's definitely shareable format you know it's faster than word of mouth I can get on Twitter get everybody's connected yeah that's it and so you know you could take a traditional sort of format which is telling people what you like it just gets amplified you know yeah yeah and yeah I've been noticing the hashtags on your Instagram it's like you know no matter what you're talking about it's SMS Audio yeah yeah but I don't because I before I've worn a lot of different things but I want them to forget music because I like this is my personal interest that if you involved in music and eventually you're in front of cameras so often that you become comfortable and if you actually traveling if you like it the effects and the actual films glitters lucasfilm's that the deal with Star Wars with SMS cool looking headphones by the way yes yeah you got a semi to cool this one that according to the New York Post the coolest oh sorry that was ok we got to do better yes 2014 all right I am a fan of the stormtrooper ones plus the Jedi the rebel Jedi ones not sure that's the right way to call them but there they are they're behind you right now those are some nice color scheme Chicagoans cool hazard yeah when are those available do you know first quarter yeah okay so pretty soon so stay tuned to the channel guys we're gonna be showcasing that stuff as soon as it's available to us take a good a chance to show you the workings the inner workings oh yeah I don't know if you've ever seen one of my videos but we go in-depth you know we take we take sort of a normal product video and turn it into a your really informative you know content and you know not to speak about us too much but like it's sort of you know extends the experi it's like video like you spoke about for music it's sort of the same way in the product world right you know the cool part is now devices have advanced to the point that your telephone and shooting HD so that's sufficient for in studio performance right lock it to the music and put it up on your YouTube yeah the barrier to entry keeps getting lower the amount of money it costs to get into it it's not laws now you know if you got real artists can do things with nothing right now yep because the instrumentals but what we were doing in a very beginning like the cool part the thing that I did with mixtapes was I format it what was a freestyle performance in song format he's made it work yeah so they didn't know that it wasn't as cool as the actual album right someone else was making cuz it in format and then it changed the way they make mixtapes I went like when the artists say he has a mixtape coming out it's actually his album before his album yeah 90% of the time song all for that tape becomes the record that leads into his actual yeah no for sure I mean it's like it's it's also kind of like a market test in a way this put it out there as a sample see if people enjoyed then you know you know right vein that's right a material you know I read something about you about how you when you first went in the studio you had sort of lyrics on a page but not formatted right and yeah and I kind of feel the music if you're not actually impacted with the actual music I don't think it matters yeah I think I hit record is a marriage between the content and the actual music this there for sure yeah you know you need both yeah if you put weak lyrics over really good music right barnaby interests if you put the most phenomenal lyrics fo awesome garbage yeah you need it oh that's an angle people don't want to move if it doesn't make you feel good yeah point right yeah one question for you I got a lot of viewers who are younger you know just starting to get into tech and stuff but you know a lot of them probably into music - right and just since I got you here wonder if there's any advice you give regardless of what it is that people want to do I mean you you essentially came from the bottom right all the way up to here we are you know what I mean and so you know any advice you could give this to somebody out there that sort of wants to create something but it's intimidated or doesn't think they have the skills to go now you got to first break that phobia and then do it openly and you know so even if it's look you could be the room by yourself and do it when you post it you did it in front of a lot of people that's true you know but you gotta actually perform the practice into a brick past that point and your confidence is so important as an artist that sometimes you have to be overconfident to withstand the doubt diddle-eye actually happen for you until it's your actual time like I thought I was ready in 97 but it but hip-hop is about what he cares yeah but it's about having that know you've got to have the bravado if you don't have it before you start yeah you're gonna get it but what you get is through the artist community even an established artist feels the synergy because the new artist I felt like yeah it's great that you made it because your confirmation the success and I want my shot to make it and then when you keep making it over and over now and again I felt like I was ready in 97 and nobody was planning it and nothing's I wasn't ready it's not I wasn't ready in 90 I put I'm out power $2 I wrote it in 98 it came out 99 and on Columbia Records and I thought that record was ready and that one didn't come up but I did have how to rob on it you know I got some attention and made everyone take note that I existed as an artist period and then mm yeah thousands when I was I had actually got ready because it was I've lost my ability to be marketing promoted by major record company mm-hmm and I had to figure it out on my own Wow yeah it's a it will be interesting to sort of you know if you were coming up right now in these times like you didn't have YouTube back oh there wouldn't be it wouldn't get attached to me they'd already gonna sail up now they got access to things that I didn't have access to yeah that the ability to build the following look at this 700,000 subscribers to your actual you actually check me out yes I did all right why you got that going this is you sitting it and technically analyzing products and when this is cool this is not good yes it out of here but but you're doing that alone your personality is withdrawing 700,000 people to you now if you had musical content that people will actually generate interest that's 700,000 people that will potentially be buyers of your actual music for sure and and just a circle of people around you they could just be into that like reality television like watching you upload things I would actually have cameras plan in the house 24 hours run cut it we go edit it no it's true it's amazing like I see I view YouTube as a social network yeah just like Twitter just like Facebook just like Instagram except you have video which from a communication standpoint it's the best we have on the web right I used to face we could see people even in the artist community they have strong points that you just didn't be really really really talented guys cuz they come out with really good material and then as soon as they start to move something goofy happen you know yeah yeah what's wrong manufacture standstill like the girls in the music video yeah some of them is Dan you be like drop-dead gorgeous I see I see normally know they made those like that then you go the music starts and she stopped moving you like oh no baby steps he'll go back to standing still look just move the camera don't move you know yeah you need the whole package yeah I'll be there sure all right well that's some that's some good stuff great advice for people we're gonna see some brand new SMS products coming out shortly yeah I'm excited like I said to take a closer look at them especially the ones with active noise cancellation as well as the athletic stuff I can work on my own personal athletics yeah see I play huh get Oh hardly alright Huck is really a boxing sport you think so well put you in the face all right that's true they get off and going that's the highlight when they actually start to have an okay that's true that's true that's when you stop on the ESPN you jump I always stop to see that yeah and my imagination is just running like what now do you fight somebody on on skate that's what I was about to say they so comfortable skate nigga do it you ever been on skates I did like 2 to 2 times a time really the react video we shot it in the ice skating rink wow I never saw a video I got to look that up is that on YouTube go look it up everybody yeah I really didn't know why the fuck they wanted to ice skate like it was tough for me like he was like wild put me in the box maybe they're fans of the sport I was there like the day before a nice game ring with little kids like trying to learn practicing it's not easy if you wait like where I'm from I'm from Toronto huh they get you on skates when you're 4 years old so yes that's right it's like you need to know it's a coming-of-age type thing though yeah and so as an adult it's easy but you get somebody who has never tried before later in life yeah it ain't pretty that's look I went to the X Games right right and I saw the crazy things is known as the skateboards though and it told me it told me stay in your lane yeah I like the obvious amazing kids they're like 12 years old yeah it's not and I wasn't dude they kind of be doing about 35 miles an hour by the time they come out of the ramp easy it's not easy that fast and that that's a tough one yeah that's what that's that's the tough part - that's a tough one how would you take it if your son came along so decided I'm gonna be on this BMX or motocross or something crazy like that well I mean it's a process like you'd say let's do it good yeah that's right get some help some people who know how to do it I know you're a boxing fan do you ever watch UFC or no yeah yeah yeah you saw what happened I understand Silva yes crazy Oleg was one of the ugliest things I ever saw on TV seen it one time before the boycott really yeah I watched I had went to uh was I was on tour I went

you can fight a prisoner but their trip their train they train all year huh it's like their one day to perform but it's like a religion to them over there yeah it's another level that dad to work and uh that might be something they could do to prevent aggression like what's that movie we just watched the purge yeah everybody that we write but there's a lot of training to that you got to do in the meantime and I know you're into training you know if you feeling aggressive before you know you get on the weights or whatever on the punching day you feel better about it I assume yeah absolutely I
