I haven’t robbed anyone and I’m not a bookie, I don’t need to hide, ”she emphasizes.

In an open-ended chat, Filipe Ret tells al Earth more details on career and relationship with money. Watch!

How are the preparations for the 15-year career show going?

It will be one of the most important shows of my career, if not the most important. i will celebrate with fan base. It’s very gratifying to have fans who are gifts. It took some work to postpone the day of the event, but it will be worth it. This show is a way to say thank you and celebrate with them.

What can you expect different?

It has several LED screens, a lot of technology is involved, equipment that comes from abroad, and all this requires team integration and planning. Yes, it’s expensive. If we pack up and do one more show, I think we can pay off the investment. Let’s say I’m leaving a McLaren at this event.

How is the guest lineup?

We haven’t defined the lineup yet. Since it’s Saturday, I’ll have to pay for these artists and I won’t be able to pay for as many as I want. It is something that will have to be chosen and negotiated very well. For now, none is confirmed. I really wanted BK and Caio Luccas to be there, they are very important people in my career. Obviously I wanted to include Djonga, MC Cabelinho and Orochi but it will be difficult to include these guys.

What has been the most challenging part of these 15-year career?

Every dark day I see as an intense battle, you know? I feel like every album I make is a little war [burocrática]. ‘Vivaz’ it was a very intense war, the first record. ‘Fun’ it was also a war to launch, to develop. ‘Bold’ it was one of the most intense moments, because I was about to have my child, get married, mature as a human being, it was very challenging. ‘immaterial’ it was very important for me to keep up to date. ‘light’ it was also crucial for me to position myself in the mainstream. Each album has been crucial in my career. I’ve never had an album that went unnoticed, it’s always been an album that saved my career continuity.

Are those wars you mention about money?

It’s not always money. It’s a bit too much, but it’s much more the creative, conceptual and energetic conception. You have to do something you trust, there are several [burocracias] to place a relevant record, something that makes the difference in your career. It is creative and also logistical. The amount of decisions you have to make to release a record is staggering. From choosing the beat, choosing the verse, the concept of the song, the feat, where it will appear on the album, how it will look… Lots of details, colour, cover, whatever you want to convey.

Tell me more about this cure with your projects.

I’m a guy who really likes to think about records. I think I have the most present discography today regarding rap artists. It’s not everyone who does it nowadays, not everyone loves the record. I appreciate it because when I die the only thing that will stay here are my records and I want to leave a nice layover. I worry a lot about it.

What have you learned about money in these 15 years?

I learned that there are things that are much better spent than not spent and that this damages the image. I’ve learned that it’s better if I spend it on this show and do something f*da, rather than the fan base deserves, rather than thinking: ‘I’ll take this million and put it in my pocket’. In my pocket, this money has no history. This is what money is for, to help the people around me, to be a security base for families, to retire my father and mother. This is of immeasurable value. Anyone who spends perrengue with money knows the value of this.

Are you the savings type? How is your financial organization?

There are things worth investing in and not saving. It’s a management of energy and money, you have to keep thinking all the time what is worth investing and what is not; where it adds value and where it doesn’t. We make fucking mistakes, but we also fucking learn. One thing’s for sure: if I didn’t spend it on this show, I’d never know where I’d end up.

Artists have a tendency to be imprecise, but the strongest artists are the ones who think it through. Otherwise, you become a weakened person. Our reality requires it. Of course, today I think less about buying small things, it’s not that narrow-minded thing, but for bigger things like friends, family, children, career investments, my head is running around all the time, and just I can do this for me. Only the person who has that kind of money knows who is running with them. It is important to have money clarity because you cannot go bankrupt. You have to be responsible because there are families who depend on you. [Dinheiro] it is a power, but it is also a responsibility. If I didn’t think about it, I would go against my family, against myself.

You have already received flak for losing bets and spending. As?

I get angry seeing these things, because they take something positive and turn it into a negative. Absolute meritocracy is unfeasible, impossible to achieve because no one is born in the same position, but relative meritocracy must exist. If I have left one place and go to another, I have grown. In this I must have my merit, my worth. People confuse this absolute merit value with this relative one and it ends up coming off badly. I also understand the other side, that there are people who shouldn’t eat, but criticizing doesn’t solve it. What I do with my money only me and God knows. Only I know who I help, who I support, anyway. I have these balances. At the same time, I can’t let people define what I’m going to do with my money. If I lost BRL 100,000 on a bet, I lost.

And what about cars?

I love cars, since I was a child I loved playing with cars. The two cars I have, I love them, are big dreams of consumption. I had that buying phase to prove to myself that I can have it. People say you can’t have [carrão] in RJ [porque não tem onde correr], but it does. There are dozens of bikers who stop me and say, ‘Okay.’ Makes me want to have another one [carro] because I haven’t stolen from anyone, I’m building a career. I’m not a bookie who needs to hide. My cars don’t have air conditioning. Anyone who knows me knows that my cars are the result of my work and I’m very proud of it.

DVD is often a dream come true for artists. Are there any others you haven’t done yet?

I’m focused on this, because it hasn’t happened yet. Everyone is vibrating to make it happen. The biggest dream is to be able to have a pleasant and audible trajectory in the future. After all, we don’t want to die, we want to leave the arts here for the next generations. What motivates me is to leave a legacy for posterity.
