So I 38 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: were to dream something, it would be something more glorious 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: without a lot of the consequences that I've had to 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: suffer through the consequences of consciousness. So I will say 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: that this is a calling come true. H to sit 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: down with you. When they told me that hip hop 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: could never be in politics, and those two worlds could 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: never mix. We are now seeing that more people are 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: coming awake because of the Trump administration. We are seeing 46 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot of the big homies pulling up and giving 47 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: their opinions on things, whether you're talking about Diddy, qube you, whoever, 48 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: where people agree with it or not, the point is 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: they're speaking up. Snoop, I mean to kill the Mike. 50 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: It goes on and on, and most importantly, when I 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: look at your life, your past life. One of the 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: biggest things I talked about is politics really being against 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: the party. It's not about Republican them crap. It really 54 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: is some gangster ship. And Trump is the ultimate gangster. 55 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: Whether you agree with what he does or not, he 56 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: pushes a line like I remember how Jeeves pushed the 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: line in the nineties. And so if we can just 58 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: get the big homies to get people to to pull 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: up and stand up for what's ours and what is 60 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: old to us based on what our ancestors earned, I 61 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: think we can move forward. So I wanted to give 62 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: you that and pay that homedge because we don't do 63 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: enough of that, and get straight to it. Talk to 64 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: us a little bit about because you were involved in 65 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Ministers Society obviously as an actor, and then you also 66 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: was a part of Confidence Most Wanted and was on 67 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: the Boys in the Hood soundtrack as well. Tell the 68 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: people for those who don't know, because we've got some 69 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: young folks listening, how your involvement um and those two 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: classic movies, and how you see that as playing a 71 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: role now and and looking back the culture started with that, 72 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: were given a different view of the hood and and 73 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: really seeing what's happening. We really haven't seen that since then, 74 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, really haven't seen an up 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: close view of what happens in the hood. Tell us 76 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: a little bit why you got involved in that and 77 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: why that was important to you. Well, back when I started, 78 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, making music, you know, it was a lot 79 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: of you know, unrest as far as neighborhoods, as far 80 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: as you know, a lot of single mothers, not a 81 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: single family homes. So my growing up was the gang experience. 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: So when I fell into a position, you know, to 83 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: start making music and what have you, I wanted to 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: show people the views of what I saw as far 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: as what what I've seen as growing up as an 86 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: adolescent or a young adult. You know, a young male 87 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: in coomptent. So my raps or my rhms depicted basically 88 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: to struggle that I had to go through or wherever 89 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: you grew up, like you know, in the in yourighborhood 90 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: or a lot of neighborhoods. We had a lot of 91 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: dudes who were subject to not making it out, so 92 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: to speak. So instead of wanting to rap about you know, 93 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: we had the gang Stars and the tribe call quest Is, 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: and I wanted people to know what was going on 95 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: in my neighborhood to my areas. Thus we had movies 96 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: like Boys in the Hood, Minister Society. So when I 97 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: had a chance to make songs, you know, all I've 98 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: seen because of where I grew up was the neighborhood 99 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: to struggle, not realizing that there probably was something else 100 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: that could have been different for me, but being involved 101 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: in games and not having a father in the household 102 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: and seeing that games basically was my interpretation of you know, 103 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: brotherhood togetherness. I didn't have an older brother, you know, 104 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: I felt protected, I felt you know, secure, So I 105 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: wanted other people to see that I didn't want it. 106 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: I wanted other people to see that it wasn't just 107 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: about Bandanna because a lot of people, you know, were 108 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: subject to think that we were just banging over colors. 109 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: And I hate that term when people use that all 110 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: y'all banging over colors over rags, when it was more 111 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: than that. It was about the protection of the neighborhood 112 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: you grew up in. And you know, even though it 113 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: was drugs involved in whatever, it was basically survival, you know, 114 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: survival from the cops. So that's what I did, as 115 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: as you know, getting into the rap gang. My stories 116 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: portrayed the struggle of the neighborhoods today. The transition of 117 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: what we have today is that you have a lot 118 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: of youth I feel, is my opinion, I feel a 119 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: lot of youth. Uh you know, like you said, your 120 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: daughter or your your child, they grow up in the suburbs. 121 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: You know, they don't know anything about gang life or whatever. 122 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: Everything is portrayed to them as money, flashiness or you know, 123 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: on a different aspect of what the gang life was 124 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 1: or the struggle was. I feel it's a generational gap 125 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: because the same thing for me when I left Compton 126 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: and I moved and you know, I have kids or whatever, 127 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: they didn't get to see that lifestyle, so thus it 128 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: portrays in their music that they make a lot of 129 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: artists nowadays want to show the glitz and glamor of 130 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: life and not to struggle because a lot of them 131 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: make a little money now and they don't want to 132 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: show that struggle side. You know, the change is the watches, 133 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: it's the airplanes, it's the it's the life of the party, 134 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: and people tend to want to forget about the struggle 135 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: that's real. And that's just like when people ask me 136 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: about the situations that's going on nowadays. I grew up 137 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: in that situation that's still going on to this day. 138 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: So I think it's a generational gap that people don't 139 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 1: understand what's really going on and don't want to see 140 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: what's still going on in the neighborhoods. It's why the 141 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: music kind of doesn't portray what people called us, you know, storytellers. 142 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: I agree, And there's also something to be said about 143 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: what it meant to have a big homie. And you know, 144 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: for those are listening, because I know, I gotta mix 145 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: of folks that listen, I got woke, extra extra woke. 146 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: People that say gangster rap portrays negative and and okay, 147 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: that's fine, but I also say that to them that 148 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: a lot of them don't understand the lifestyle behind it, 149 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: and it's just as important. There's a balance to everything. 150 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: Just like two Democrats, it's a balance to Republican just 151 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: like the pastor. There's people in the pews, just like 152 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: the pimp, there's all the prostitute has a story. I mean, 153 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: there's a balance to everything. And what I've tried to 154 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: do a is really show the other side that maybe 155 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: people did not see. You know, they don't have to 156 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: agree with what they saw on TV as gang life 157 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: quote unquote, but you are absolutely right when you talk 158 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: about protection, when you talk about people that you saw 159 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: is your family. When you talk about you know, my 160 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: daddy couldn't squat a fly, you know, period, he it 161 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: wasn't if something had happened to me, you know, he 162 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: wasn't about that life. He wouldn't have done. But I 163 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: had homies that looked out for me. And when I 164 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: think about how much it influenced my life, and we're 165 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: talking about guys ten years my senior, because I'm actually 166 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: probably about ten twelve years younger than you, but I 167 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: was always around people who were much older that influenced me, 168 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: and I listened. I listened to the game. I listened 169 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: to what they told me. I listened to my g 170 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: homies telling me to stay away from this or you know, 171 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: stay out of certain things, because I could have easily 172 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: been caught up, you know, in a lot of different things. 173 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: And there were some things that I did. You know, 174 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't hide behind my story. I dated hustles, our 175 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: dated gang bangers. I don't hide behind that. And I 176 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: know that God had his hand on me why, which 177 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: is the reason why I'm here today. But from seventh 178 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: grade all the way through high school, I was conditioned 179 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: around that lifestyle. And it was nowhere that I could 180 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: escape it. You know, seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth grade, 181 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: tenth grade, lefth grade dated crips, bluff. Even at my 182 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: church we had a drill team. We would travel a lot, 183 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: and I had three homies on the drill team. At 184 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: the church. There were crips and one was a blood. 185 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: One was a blood. He was bust all the time. 186 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: The woman he was a blood. One as a creep. 187 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: We could he couldn't keep up, We couldn't keep up. 188 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: He was transformed. But it was everywhere also I know 189 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: a crib shout out to L that when my mom's 190 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: house got broke into, who got broken to by blood 191 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: because we lived in a blood neighborhood. It was L 192 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: that came and sat on my couch, you know, with 193 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: my mom and stayed there until she was able to 194 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: get an alarm put on the house. I was able 195 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: to sleep knowing that my homie L looked out for me. 196 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: Eventually he went to prison under the ninety four crime 197 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: bill selling drugs first time non boling the fender, got 198 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: eighteen years in a conspiracy charge, not caught, but in 199 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: a conspiracy charge. And I look at him now being 200 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: a Muslim and how he's changed his life. But I 201 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: still asked the question. And that's why I pushed the 202 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: ninety for a crime bill so much, when we talked 203 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: about first time none buying defenders and how it locked 204 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: up so many ge homies that were really not just 205 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: out on all the negative but really guiding the youth. 206 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: Once that generation, which was my entire generation, got swooped 207 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: up by the Fairs, there was no more guidance. So 208 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: you listen to these young kids now and you can 209 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: obviously see it in the music they don't listen to 210 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: no ge homie. They don't listen to people older than them. 211 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: They don't. They have a lack of respect, not all 212 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: of them. I'm not generalizing, but the the idea of 213 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: really just sitting down with you and say you don't 214 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: give me the game. When I listened to older ge 215 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: homies and their fifties and forties that go back and 216 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: try to talk to younger dudes on the set, they 217 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: don't have any type of respect. Can you speak a 218 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: little bit to like what your ge homies meant to 219 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: you and how it mattered if you got their staff 220 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: of approval and how you you you had a certain 221 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: code that you live by that you don't see that's 222 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: happening now. Well, I think that comes from being raised 223 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: by our parents and grandparents. You know. I was taught 224 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: them seventies babies, eighties babies, so to speak. And you 225 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: you're not that far behind me, so you're you're still 226 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: in that section. We were taught to real respect of elders. 227 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: You know, we were talking to listen to the parents. 228 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: You got your ass whooped, you know, switches and belts, 229 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: you you know that that's that's the line I came 230 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: from I respected Elder's period, what matter of the form 231 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: it was from so to be. In the gang situation, 232 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: it was always you know, older g homies that would 233 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: give us instruction or we just looked up to as 234 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: as as guidance or motherfucker's like I know they want 235 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: to say it's the gang lifestyle or whatever, but it 236 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: wasn't a glorification thing. We had the guidance because of 237 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: what we were taught back in the early days of 238 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: just respecting the people who came before you, who walked 239 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: the line before you, so to speak, who set the 240 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: trend and the foundation. We learned to respect that nowadays, 241 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: like you said, a lot of the g homeies got 242 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: locked down for twenty five thirty years, you get me. 243 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: So that left a big generational gap of of O 244 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: G s. And when it comes to my side of it, 245 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, to be from the music form and to 246 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: be from the streets. A lot of young rappers nowadays 247 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: or young cats and the music business, like you said, 248 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: not all, but a lot of them come from the 249 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: foundation of there is none. It's me against the world, 250 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: so to speak, and can't nobody tell me ship? And 251 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,239 Speaker 1: that's the whole problem. The misguide that it miss informed. 252 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Feel like it's a situation of you trying to tell 253 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: them what to do or you think you better than 254 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: and and a lot of dudes feel like nobody can 255 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: tell me nothing because you know, I did it on 256 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: my own, or this is what we about and we 257 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: don't give a funk about what the old dudes did 258 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: back in the days. This is what we do now. 259 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: I think that just comes from the forum. Like I said, that, 260 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: just a generational gap of a lot of the homies 261 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: being gone and a lot of the young dudes right 262 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: now taking over. It's just like they don't want to 263 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: listen and they don't follow the code of what we 264 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: did back in the days. It's like they want to 265 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: get rid of or forget about what was the struggle 266 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: in the past, of what was the foundation that was 267 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: set for you to even be a part of or 268 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: think you a part of what you claim and or 269 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: what you represent. So it's kind of hard to try 270 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: to sit down and talk to the youth when they 271 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: have the aspect of you really can't tell me nothing. 272 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean, some of us grew up with that mentality. 273 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: When I grew up with that young banging mentality, you know, 274 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: there was some situations when it was like, you know, 275 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: you can't tell us what to do, or you can't 276 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: tell me nothing. But we still had to respect that 277 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: when somebody elder or one of the ge stepped in 278 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: and said something that we were we listened to and 279 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: we were able to break that down into a situation 280 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: to feel like, Okay, it's something that's gonna be better 281 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: or something better for everybody. And dudes just don't want 282 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: to follow that code nowadays. Today no one, no body 283 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: wants to be the uh nobody wants to leave. You 284 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: ain't the leader of me, or we don't have big 285 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: homies here. It's every man for themselves. And that's just because, 286 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: like you said, a lot of us, a lot of 287 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: the o G homies were locked down or a lot 288 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: of us rest in peace. Well you know what, we're 289 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: murdered back in the days. So it's not that cold 290 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: to follow anymore. Because they trying to set a new one, 291 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: what they failed to realize are some because I don't 292 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: want to generalize, it's a reason why you were able 293 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: to live, you know, to tell the story. You know, 294 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: if either it's a reason why I'm here, and so 295 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: with je homies, trying to tell people how to keep 296 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: your ass out of jail and how to live another day. 297 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: You know, this really does come back to survival. I 298 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: did a poem in two thousand fourteen called Blackout two 299 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: thousand sixteen, and one of the lyrics was, I said, 300 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: it all started with Rodney King. They had to get 301 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: those real brothers off the scene, locked up young fathers, 302 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: young guys, got bucked, and now they stuck. It was 303 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: basically breaking down. How when you took them out, have 304 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: that whole conspiracy of locking up black men and not 305 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: having black men to god, young black men. This is 306 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: why you see you know what you see today in 307 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: the streets. There's a story that I always use, and 308 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: since you were so much a part of that in 309 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: Boys in the Hood, that I always use the kind 310 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: of transitions well with this when we talk about you know, 311 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: people knowing they roll in politics. You know, I talk 312 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: about it all the time in gangster terms, because I 313 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: want people to understand it's not a Republican party, the 314 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. It truly is against the party if you 315 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: pay attention to how these people move. Trump to me 316 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: is the ultimate gangster. Based upon what I know about gangsters. 317 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: He pushes the line when you when you running, when 318 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: you run everything, and you the top man at the top, 319 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: then you're the biggest gangster. And he don't give a 320 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: damn if you know about until you don't give a 321 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: damn if you know. And again this is not because 322 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: you know it's like to twist my words and say 323 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: I'm praising him. I'm not praising him. I'm I'm calling 324 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: I know what the looked like, and I'm telling you 325 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: I went back and forth with a young girl. She said, 326 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: you said that that's gangster. That's not that, that doesn't 327 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: what he did wasn't good. And I said, sweetheart, when 328 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: I say that's gamester, I don't mean you know they're 329 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: donna change the words around.

I 367 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: gotta share this story with you because I said all 368 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: the time in my political conversation when we talk about 369 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: how we really move forward in politics and who who's 370 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: who's the gangster, who's gonna push the line? Always talk 371 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: about trade from boys in the hood. I tell people 372 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: that everybody has a role in this and right now 373 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: where we are, this is not about trades riding in 374 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: the car. Now, Trey got a job. He got a 375 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: job to do. Anybody mad at trade, you need to 376 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: go to more house. But remember when his home he 377 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: got killed. Trey did all that emotion, swinging at the air, 378 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: yelling holler screaming. Had to what we say full uniform on. 379 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: You know, is when they show up at the barbecue 380 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: every two years. They don't never put it on working 381 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: the set, but they show up in full uniform, Dicky's 382 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: own colors on, soneral, game, brush, shir on, all that 383 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: ain't seen the mother fucking ten years, but they s 384 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: get you. Yeah, yeah, So Trey was exactly that did 385 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: all Oh that's swinging at the air to get to 386 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: get some ass from from kneel long in the movie. 387 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: And you remembering yell of screaming, had the whole setup, 388 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: went against what his daddy said, and did all the dramatics, 389 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: jumping out the window, getting in the car. You know, 390 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: let's get kept the blood full blood on, just ready 391 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: to roll. But when they got time to put in 392 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: the work, what did Tray say, let me out the car. 393 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: My whole thing and politics is trade, get your ass 394 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: out the car. Somebody gotta go to more house. We 395 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: ain't mad go to our house. But right now, in 396 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: this particular time, I'm looking for some g homies that 397 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: can push the line. It's so ironic that Cube was 398 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: one of the ones. Whether people agree with what he's 399 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: doing or not. I can't wait to chop it up 400 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: with him. How he drove the car literally in Boys 401 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: in the Hood and now he's driving the car to 402 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: push for a black agenda. I just think that so 403 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: it's it's not ironic, it is so on point to 404 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: what that whole scene is that a lot of people 405 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: don't really get. I try to use a lot of metaphors. 406 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: Remember when ice Cube turned around and looked at Trade 407 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: and looked at him basically like, we know you wouldn't 408 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: build for this in the first place. See, trade is 409 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: two things. Trade gonna do get you caught because he's 410 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: gonna tell if you get pulled over, or he's gonna 411 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: get you killed because he's gonna be too scared to bus. 412 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: In politics, it has to be the same way. We 413 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: need riders that are willing to push this line hardest hell, 414 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: the same way that Trump does by saying, I don't 415 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: give a funk if you like what I do, you 416 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: don't like what I do. I'm pushing for a black agenda. 417 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm pushing for more for my people. I want more 418 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: for my community. I'm not gonna step and fetch you. 419 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sideways. I'm pushing the line. Either you 420 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: with us, are are you not? Like they always say, 421 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: whatever set you from you either with that gang or 422 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: you don't bang until we get that type of leadership 423 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: and until we understand that everybody's not gonna unite. Sometimes 424 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: trade just need to just go ahead and say at 425 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: the house, like, do what you do. It's homies that 426 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: more house and do what they do. But we need 427 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: real riders that can push the line. And the reason 428 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: why Trump flips everybody out, it's because they never met 429 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: no gangster. If you ever was raised around against you 430 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: want identified quite well when Trump is doing it's not 431 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: He's not supposed to listen to you and I. If 432 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: we didn't both of him and we're not a part 433 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: of his set, why would he listen to us. He's 434 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: pushing the line of his set. Just like in gang territory, 435 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: you push the line for your set. You want to 436 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: make sure that resources come to your set. You want 437 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: to protect your territory. That's what he does. What is 438 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: your thoughts on understanding what Trump is doing in this 439 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: political space and how do you see us moving forward 440 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: and explaining this?

People have 454 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: to understand that as far as Trump is concerned as 455 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: doing what he wants to, it's just the line that 456 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: you push when you represent what you represent, Like you said, 457 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: nobody cares about when you in the position and you're 458 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: here to push your own line.

But as minorities, we we get 547 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: put through a level of of of ridicule. It's just ridiculous. 548 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: So how should we be dignified? It mean, it's kind 549 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: of crazy for some people to look at us when 550 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: we're the ones catching all the flak and say there 551 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: should be some kind of dignified agenda. Gets tired of 552 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 1: dignified agendas. Like I said, I came up in the neighborhoods, 553 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, so the ship that you're seeing on a 554 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: large scale today has been going on since I grew 555 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: up in the seventies. Of ship, racial profile and homies murdered. 556 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: Ridiculous charges are police brutality and all that. Ship. So 557 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: when you say be dignified about your approach to motherfucker 558 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: who's really don't give a funk and really agenda is 559 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: not for you, then dignity is out the fucking window 560 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:24,719 Speaker 1: sometimes and it just you know, we don't we're not here, like, 561 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: we're not here for violence and ship. We're not here 562 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: to just go off and just kill off, you know, 563 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: and just murder motherfucker's and do that ship. But it 564 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: comes a point in time where dignity has to come 565 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: with a strong hand. You get me. And we already 566 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: up against a lot with face with a lot. You 567 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: get me, you know, Like I said, So when people 568 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: sit back and say it should be a dignified approach 569 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: to it, then that's kind of ridiculous when you got 570 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: other motherfucker's walking around with motherfucking a K S and 571 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: a R fifteens holding American flag ship. I'm an arm 572 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: up too, Not to say I want to just start 573 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: a civil war some bullshit like that, because I live 574 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: here too. Everybody want to live in peace, make money, 575 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: and just have a good motherfucking life. But a lot 576 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: of that gets halted by people's private fucking agendas. You're getting. 577 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: So when when it when it's when it's oppression and 578 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: it's murder, and it's and it's no rights and and 579 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: you're feeling a different way than the next motherfucker, then 580 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: sometimes you know it's time for a strong hand. And 581 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: like I said, we're in a position right now where 582 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: everybody's saying vote, vote, vote, vote, but a lot of 583 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: motherfucker's feel like voting don't never do ship for them. 584 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: You get the average motherfucker. I don't care what you're 585 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: talking about, taxes or property taxes, or healthcare or medicaln 586 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: or schools or whatever. Motherfucker's still wake up in timing 587 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: every day in the motherfucking neighborhood and nothing changes. You 588 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: get me. So that's where it starts at. While you're 589 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: looking at the motherfucker's on the hill and you're looking 590 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: at the motherfucker's in the suits and ship, start looking 591 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: at the motherfucker's and the ghettos who are still in 592 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: the projects who you're begging for their votes and all 593 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: that ship, but then still ending up in the same position. 594 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: I just had a home yesterday. It poured over about 595 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: three police and when motherfucker's jump out filming, they still 596 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: telling motherfucker's get your ass in the car and go 597 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: mind your business. You get that's the situation that we 598 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: still deal with. So dignity it comes at a price, 599 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: you feel me, that's right. And at some point we 600 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: have to realize that if I'm a woman and I 601 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: say I'm a good woman, but I can't never keep 602 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: a man, it might be meet that's a common denominator. 603 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: So at some point democrats you keep on begging people 604 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: to come to the post, come to the post, come 605 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: to the post, and the people are not coming. And 606 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: it's not because they don't care, and it's not because 607 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: they don't want a better life. It's because you ain't 608 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: did ship. You've been simply treating us as a side 609 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: check over and over and overcoming by hitting after the club, 610 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: going back home. Tell on another line, and now people 611 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: are over. So I'm glad you hit on that point 612 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: that when it comes down to people in the hood, 613 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: they have not seen their life change, so scaring them 614 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: what Trump doesn't work. You know. I tell us to 615 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: my friends who are you know, in what I call 616 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: the establishment per se, and they say, oh, you know 617 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: you're Trump gonna get You don't want Trump to have 618 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: another four years because this scary as hell to them. 619 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: And I tell them, niggas that don't have nothing already 620 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: don't have nothing, so they don't have a fear of 621 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: losing more what more of nothing, losing more nothing? They 622 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: don't have nothing. The only people that are truly truly 623 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: scared about Trump being in office are those who are 624 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: in the middle class or the upper middle class that 625 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: feel they're going to lose. But people at the very 626 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: very bottom what I call concrete roots, and go even 627 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: deeper than grassroots, who at the bottom, they feel like 628 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: they truly don't have anything to lose. And it doesn't 629 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: mean that they're vote for Trump. What it means is 630 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: they're not motivated enough by one of these candidates in 631 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: order to get out and vote because their life has 632 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: not changed, So the fear tactic doesn't work. Actually, white 633 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: folks and white supremacis are more scared than we are 634 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: because they've always had power, So they're more afraid that 635 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: we get power. Then we are afraid of losing power 636 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: that we never had. And this is why I tell people, 637 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: don't be confused if Trump wins. I wouldn't be surprised 638 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: if he wins. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses either. 639 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: But what people fail to understand is until a lot 640 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: of these people, the upper class start hurting and feeling 641 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: the pain that you talk about that you grew up 642 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood and actually start feeling that, that's when 643 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: they'll start listening to the streets and to start making 644 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: a difference. Because self preservation is everything, and I think 645 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: a lot of folks when I don't think, I know, 646 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: have not felt that pain enough to be able to 647 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: identify to really make the change that we need. I 648 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: want to give you closing remarks here A. You have 649 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: been such an interesting guest, and I do want you 650 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about Gangster Chronicles on the 651 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: Black Fail podcast network and how they can hear more 652 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: of you in this conversation that you have in all 653 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: of the topics that you're covering.
