Speaker 2: the country. You know, they weren't pope, but boy, they sharecropped,

Speaker 2: we do that, I die happy old man like Andy
Speaker 2: around this moment. You know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Andy Young is gonna talk about those and may not know,
Speaker 2: but that's how I want to be one mold. I
Speaker 2: want to say I contributed to an environment that could
Speaker 2: create more successful black people.
Speaker 1: If I do that, on so, let me ask you
Speaker 1: a question.
Speaker 3: With that being said, do you think that that vision
Speaker 3: is still possible since it's such a huge difference between
Speaker 3: the grandmothers of yesterday and the grandmothers of today.
Speaker 2: Oh no, your grandmama's a fucked up then too. They
Speaker 2: don't think your grandmother and this no blues, Then fuck
Speaker 2: your granddady. You don't know who your auntie daddy is.
Speaker 2: Why your AUNTI light skined? Everybody don't look like you.
Speaker 1: Your grand ain't just a good nigga though, that man
Speaker 1: that's my daughter to got get so old. People were
Speaker 1: not perfect. Don't listen to their music. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, no, I know that. But I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, when you become my grandmama, you
Speaker 2: can still do all that ratchet dad ship outside your house,
Speaker 2: but be your grandmama.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I think what she's saying is there's a difference between
Speaker 2: Mahelia Jackson and Sexy Red. I ain't talking about Mahelly Jackson.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about stagger Lee. Okay, you stagger Lee was
Speaker 2: a pill who was stetson, who killed the nigga that
Speaker 2: was my granddad.
Speaker 1: I remember, that's my granddad.
Speaker 2: I thought I thought end up gaving some bad Ship
Speaker 2: and he's like, niggah, it ain't not a stack of lake.
Speaker 1: They ain't even killed nobody for real. I went went
Speaker 1: to the library. That's when the niggas didid like ye
Speaker 1: donna do. I went to the god the library. I
Speaker 1: didn't do it.
Speaker 2: To do it, decimal system read up on the funt
Speaker 2: found the rest of the library to Ship said this
Speaker 2: nigga was cold. Yeah, man, black people being doing. Oh,
Speaker 2: listen to Muddy Waters for sure, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Listen to how they say. Women act. They want to
Speaker 1: talk about the me and they want to all nigua.
Speaker 1: I want to kill this nigga, they.
Speaker 2: Say, man it this then left me missing, left for
Speaker 2: another nigga cross town.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's speaking, you're speaking, but.
Speaker 2: What but what what? Your grandmother had sense enough to
Speaker 2: understand what she was twenty seven? If I fuck up
Speaker 2: had this baby by this other niggacause I ain't no
Speaker 2: playing here who it did. I got to lock in
Speaker 2: with this nigga on Wick. I got to be one
Speaker 2: hundred percent with him. And all I'm saying is for
Speaker 2: the Grandmoma's out there with y'all ratchet asses, locking in
Speaker 2: for them. Babies say that ratchet ship for the ratchet time,
Speaker 2: go out to the club. Fuck all night, you do
Speaker 2: up to it. But but but for them eight hours
Speaker 2: that them babies with you. Them babies need to thank
Speaker 2: you God, because you're the closest thing in the guard too.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Your mama, you raised that girl.
Speaker 2: You can get mad about that girl you raised to them.
Speaker 2: You know you knew her faults. You knew that motherfucker
Speaker 2: was slipping a little bit. So now that you got
Speaker 2: top and give your chance, I realized my grandma raised
Speaker 2: her so well because she had a duel, She had
Speaker 2: a dow, she had a duo, she could have children.
Speaker 2: She liked working outside. They say when she was a
Speaker 2: looker and I got I got all pull out later
Speaker 2: on the pennic. I keep her behind my mama. Usually
Speaker 2: people see the nise. My mama didn't know about the niece.
Speaker 2: But miss Benny. Benny was a country girl. My wife
Speaker 2: and joked, my wife telling my grandmothers lis Man, she'd
Speaker 2: be making Mama shayan, I'm gonna be like this. My
Speaker 2: grandmama liked working outside to the day she died. She
Speaker 2: would cut off the grass, cut on heads and ship.
Speaker 2: She would die walking up the hill on my arms
Speaker 2: at seventy nine years old. So she never was really
Speaker 2: with no girly she she didn't like cooking, being in
Speaker 2: the house, all that kind of shit. She understood as
Speaker 2: a woman, I'm gonna do this to accommodate my husband
Speaker 2: and to take care of child. So when she had
Speaker 2: when by the time she got a childbirth in years
Speaker 2: got married, she had a lot of miscarris because physically
Speaker 2: she had worked about it in the field, that's what
Speaker 2: her presumption was.
Speaker 1: But she had my mama naturally.
Speaker 2: I had an adopted Jeane aunt named Jeana died as
Speaker 2: a child, and a fire my autistic uncle that was adopted.
Speaker 2: My grandma was an adoptor, taking foster of children and
Speaker 2: and ship. My mama was the only want she had,
Speaker 2: so she spoiled my mom. Oh man, my mama had
Speaker 2: new clothes every season. My mama was pressed as she
Speaker 2: could be. And then somewhere along the lines, you know,
Speaker 2: my mama with all this, my mama wanted, but I
Speaker 2: love you, I want her your mama grandmama. Step that
Speaker 2: was once I told me, I said, why do you
Speaker 2: never say?
Speaker 1: She said, I feed you. No, She said, I feed
Speaker 1: it on that. I feed you.
Speaker 2: Ass Fat said, she's saying your life on it.
Speaker 1: And she said, what I got to say it for you?
Speaker 2: And I went back to my room and I'm talking
Speaker 2: about do we arguet seven eight nine years old?
Speaker 1: And I said, damn, like she don't just say she
Speaker 1: show us every day.
Speaker 2: So I realized that at some point in her life,
Speaker 2: my mama gave her due over. My mama decided to
Speaker 2: have me at fifteen, she's a friend dog with high school.
Speaker 2: She had me, and when she got married to my son,
Speaker 2: have two dads. When she got married to my second dad,
Speaker 2: she she married and my grandmother. I literally remember my
Speaker 2: grandmother saying, no, let him stay with me and Willie
Speaker 2: and we'll raise him, and you gonna learn how to
Speaker 2: be a wife. See when my grandma, my grandma kund
Speaker 2: of new she had put some bad product out there
Speaker 2: and hold my mom to spoiled the ship out in
Speaker 2: her life, made him do too much. So she got
Speaker 2: to go learn her and this guy and learn each other.
Speaker 2: So my grandmother raised me and my sisters almost radically
Speaker 2: different than she raised my mom. She was very accommodating
Speaker 2: my mom. My mom had a lot of friends, my sisters.
Speaker 2: You know, she kept a closer eye, you know that
Speaker 2: kind of My sisters didn't get pregnant, they got out
Speaker 2: of the house. But I realized that she understood that
Speaker 2: what we put in these kids from morals and principles
Speaker 2: is man. She got good morality with my mother, But
Speaker 2: my mother just spoiled the things. She didn't give us
Speaker 2: a lot of things, but what she gave us was principles,
Speaker 2: morals and tevity. And my grandfather did too. So that
Speaker 2: so that's for me. Your grandmama's out there, that's mission.
Speaker 2: You can do all the ship you want.
Speaker 1: Time. Remember, my grandma came in. I don't know she drank.
Speaker 1: She was drunk a ship.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she went to see BB King
Speaker 2: and this went to a party bother. She came back
Speaker 2: singing BB King three in the morning. And when she
Speaker 2: was behind the door, fucked up looking, I was looking
Speaker 2: like the damn wouldn't gotten this mother fucker. My granddaddy
Speaker 2: calm usually eat a nigga that's drunk, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. He had a good week. But I realized that,
Speaker 2: oh this is a human being. She right, and she
Speaker 2: and what she said is from because at forty four
Speaker 2: was when when I was born, she was forty four.
Speaker 2: She dedicated the rest of her life that she was
Speaker 2: seventy nine to shepherd and me through this wilderness. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean, I think as a grandmama and
Speaker 2: a grandfather, I have seen grandfather them say a lot
Speaker 2: of niggas man. You know, I haven't seen my partners
Speaker 2: as grandfather's in the Thursday and forty be a whole different.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so you know, just just just you know.
Speaker 4: Right here's about to ask you what you really just
Speaker 4: about as like, because every time I see you, and
Speaker 4: then's time I ever seen you over there is like
Speaker 4: energy the same.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like you get get It's like magnetic.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Like even if I'm down, I see you, it's like
Speaker 4: something I just could see you on my energy, my vibration.
Speaker 2: Like what you think you got that from Grandma, from
Speaker 2: both of them, both of my grandparents, you know big
Speaker 2: and my wife. You know what I mean, Like you know,
Speaker 2: like my granddaddy was, I could go to any any city,

Speaker 2: in the pool hall or any play working man cargame
Speaker 2: folk new with a shirt woodick.
Speaker 1: You know. My grandfather was the man I just wanted
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: And again, I was so hyper local that the bigger
Speaker 2: world on the white folks I seen on PBS. I say,
Speaker 2: mister Rogers, and you know Ross, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I like you every white folk.
Speaker 2: My grandfather was really not pro fucking around with each
Speaker 2: other any way. You just like, nah, this ship been
Speaker 2: too fucked up, too long, Go to work, come home,
Speaker 2: take care of y'all. But but what, but what they
Speaker 2: both gave me was just like a strong identity and
Speaker 2: sense of who I was. I think, man, really, man,
Speaker 2: what you're getting from me is just old people have
Speaker 2: a sense of mortality. A little do volve when he
Speaker 2: be talking, you know, a little do vall. You understand,
Speaker 2: he understand he gonna die one day. So he treated
Speaker 2: every day as I learned so much from him because
Speaker 2: he reminds me of like my grandfather's We can't control
Speaker 2: the day. I'll can do that side try these little
Speaker 2: drink on bore that kind of ship. But you really
Speaker 2: don't know, so why why why give you fucked up energy.
Speaker 2: You know why, why waste my time with it?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I didn't, I didnet did that ship in the posturing
Speaker 2: and ship. I ain't a teenager no more, you know.
Speaker 2: And even when I was a teenager, I realized I
Speaker 2: had the ability to impart hood on people.
Speaker 1: So let me do that.
Speaker 2: He was like, I could go to Decter and funk around,
Speaker 2: make a little money if I want to buy some
Speaker 2: nice shit, because them niggas aren't gona kill because.
Speaker 1: They liked me because I didn't. And if you gain
Speaker 1: more that, you was gonna get more that my own.

Speaker 2: even said, Michael, you too smart to be a rapper.
Speaker 1: Rap won't be around long. It should be a pot.
Speaker 2: At fifteen years old, mister jim Berto, who was a
Speaker 2: man who talked at another high school, came to Maids.
Speaker 1: I was in summer school. To Maids.
Speaker 2: He said, hey, you want to get paid and learn
Speaker 2: how to fly? Like what he said, you want to
Speaker 2: get paid? Yeah, he said, my name is Jim Berto.
Speaker 2: You'll come to I say, but I'm in some school.
Speaker 2: You said, you don't come to summer school every day.
Speaker 2: You'll leave here and then you go. There was another
Speaker 2: kid in that class who became slim. From one twelve.
Speaker 2: We learned how to fly planes and aviation mechanics together.
Speaker 2: And I say that to say accept challenges, because I
Speaker 2: accepted the request of the governor to sit in on
Speaker 2: the Georgia work for summing thing back to that shit
Speaker 2: I talk about that tour. I tell this story to
Speaker 2: these people are in the room, like we need a
Speaker 2: greater work for us. We need to start putting trades
Speaker 2: and these type of things back in school, including piloting
Speaker 2: and shit like that. I said absolutely. I say I'm
Speaker 2: a product of that. And I gave you the testimony.
Speaker 2: I told him the story of Jim Purton. At the
Speaker 2: end of the thing that God comes up to me
Speaker 2: and say I just hung up on Jim. He says
Speaker 2: he's proud of So when you accept challenges in your life,
Speaker 2: you never know how God is disguising the growth. You
Speaker 2: pray for the growth God, God, I want to be
Speaker 2: a rapper at nine years old, Lord, I want to
Speaker 2: be a rapper at ten years old, and it's either
Speaker 2: said you're too smart to be a rapper, be a pilot.
Speaker 2: I don't think about it for five years, and five
Speaker 2: years up opportunity comes up and.
Speaker 1: Learn how to fly. I take it based on being
Speaker 1: a challenge for ms Evil. I come back after I
Speaker 1: do that course.
Speaker 2: Tim is easier because she's working at Antioch Baptist Antioch
Speaker 2: with I think it's Antioposa.
Speaker 1: On morning, I said, it's easily. I said, I'm your

Speaker 2: So for me, man, your dream is is yours. And
Speaker 2: I didn't even know you made a lot of money
Speaker 2: back at the time. You know, I just wanted to
Speaker 2: be a rapper. So for me, the dream was pure,
Speaker 2: or when I knew about it was pure because I
Speaker 2: was nine. I was so young now being a business person.
Speaker 2: When I knew that is probably twelve years ago. And
Speaker 2: that's the next phase of my life. I want to
Speaker 2: be the rares rapper I can be. To me, there's
Speaker 2: no greater than Scarface. There's nothing greater than Brad Jordan.
Speaker 2: Everybody you can put Brad Jordan one and whoever you
Speaker 2: want to after that is all. But to me, you're
Speaker 2: talking about consistency. The guy right next to him too short.
Speaker 2: If I can have that type of consistency and length
Speaker 2: of career and that type of greatness of reaching the
Speaker 2: human emotional depth and expressing that in a Damnar Shakespearean
Speaker 2: like way, that's what I want.
Speaker 1: But with all that said, I've seen this guy named
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson and what he did for my city.
Speaker 2: He not even from you, but I remember when when
Speaker 2: he brought the movies back Mareen, right when he brought
Speaker 2: a starbus cascame.
Speaker 1: I remember.
Speaker 2: And he's done all of this while helping other black
Speaker 2: people not only be employed but have in the growth
Speaker 2: of the leaders.
Speaker 1: And and I I'm inspired by that, and I decided
Speaker 1: that this is what I want to do.
Speaker 2: That hip hop they say the four elements were, you know,
Speaker 2: break dancing and be boying, graffiti, turntablism.
Speaker 1: DJ and the rapping.
Speaker 2: But I would add, you know, if you got them
Speaker 2: for debase, you have the crown you have here with economics,
Speaker 2: you know, trap music has made a lot more money
Speaker 2: than cocaine may have ever made. When you think about fact,
Speaker 2: when you're looking at one artist, you're looking at ten
Speaker 2: to forty different jobs around that artists, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. So for me going, I knew that about
Speaker 2: twelve years ago, and I got everybody will know me,
Speaker 2: no shame, I talk about popping this.
Speaker 1: That's my wife.
Speaker 2: And you know some days got damn, that's my dog.
Speaker 2: We all in some days, nigga, we disagree, but you
Speaker 2: ain't gonna never not see us together. And that's that's
Speaker 2: just a shot. And I've seen that with my grandparents.
Speaker 2: But I remember I got a little sixty hours of
Speaker 2: my first room. Because you don't hit money because you
Speaker 2: win a Grammy.
Speaker 1: You know, when when when when I want the Grammy,
Speaker 1: I'm already reached, you know, I mean, I want my grandmy,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But after after, after Drake decided to you know, pursue
Speaker 2: acting and stopped touring. After the big was trying to
Speaker 2: figure out what to do. The whole Purple rooman together.
Speaker 2: It was no acting movement. So not like that, You're
Speaker 2: not like you're not getting show money either. So you
Speaker 2: know what I had to understand is that, man, the
Speaker 2: woman that I picked. I always said, I hit the
Speaker 2: lottery because I bought the ticket and I had to
Speaker 2: sit there and make a decision. I was sitting down
Speaker 2: here like, God damn, because you know you're fucking fire,
Speaker 2: but you ain't really say it to yourself.
Speaker 1: Be honestly, sit them down and talk to them. They
Speaker 1: might understand you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: You don't have the courage to do that. But man,
Speaker 2: I bet on this little this little chick from Savannah. Man,
Speaker 2: she just she was a nursing school. She was determined.
Speaker 2: That motherfucker reminded me of my grandmother. Right, I'm like
Speaker 2: this little motherfucker up here. She told, frown need two
Speaker 2: weeks on your flow, and I have my own apartment.
Speaker 2: I was fucking with another broad in the back of
Speaker 2: the apartment.
Speaker 1: She lived there. I didn't know. I pulled up. I said, oh,
Speaker 1: ship on for me here. The first week, I said, Hey,

Speaker 2: I just said, I said, now going forward, I gotta
Speaker 2: I gotta transform my mind.
Speaker 1: I gotta think like a business person.
Speaker 2: I gotta take the lessons my grandparents told me about money,
Speaker 2: and I kinda started applying it.
Speaker 1: We were able. I used to tell my wife.
Speaker 2: She's like, you know what I'm saying. We all grew
Speaker 2: up hold you know, And one day she just she said, Nigga,
Speaker 2: y'all was rich. And I'm like, I never heard nobody
Speaker 2: say no, sit like that to me, like richite. We
Speaker 2: grew up on the west side, so our houses, all

Speaker 2: what I had was opportunity. When I had a bigger imagination,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't limited it in my view, So understanding that
Speaker 2: she was the right pair for me and we could

Speaker 2: but boy, fuck around to come out and it's fifteen

Speaker 2: She said, we now have an airbnb in Savannah, and
Speaker 2: I tried to She took me to Savannah the next weekend.
Speaker 2: This motherfucker house totally redme. And I'm like, why, why
Speaker 2: wouldn't I trust this motherfucker with my life? Saying I
Speaker 2: had I had fell out from fucking dehydration exhaustion, and
Speaker 2: I woke up. I told this man, I'm in the hospital.
Speaker 2: I'm an want to road and she wouldn't leave my side.
Speaker 2: They said anything else to spell?
Speaker 1: What a big fan? Do you look at marriage as
Speaker 1: a as a business partnership?
Speaker 2: That man, it's a it's a few things. It depends
Speaker 2: on your marriage, Taylor fit your marriage. See, I'm an artist.
Speaker 2: I know how to go out and make money. I'm
Speaker 2: a I'm a good idea person, but that I'm a
Speaker 2: funk up side. No, No, in part, absolutely it is,
Speaker 2: especially when you're involved state in your business.
Speaker 1: If we just we country though, you know we country
Speaker 1: for you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean. So it's just like I'm a mayor
Speaker 2: and I'm locked in. I saw my grandparents. I saw
Speaker 2: my grandfather's three to walk away once, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. My grandmother she did some ship that was
Speaker 2: that he didn't like, and after that she was like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: that's not gonna happen again, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like like he was.
Speaker 2: He he had caught a duy years and my grandma
Speaker 2: just hyper about it because she didn't want us to
Speaker 2: ever wake up and they not be there, you know,
Speaker 2: to depend on. And so she had one of their
Speaker 2: mutual friends drive her to she had gave she had
Speaker 2: got left the cantact my white family she worked for.
Speaker 2: She gave it to my grandfather. But she was just saying,
Speaker 2: She'm gonna take the car home with him with the
Speaker 2: time to get you comb. But my granddaddy got so
Speaker 2: pipe on how a nigga hand drawn over there?
Speaker 1: Now that one him popa though, and I just know her.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I mind it. But listen, I ain't the
Speaker 1: old nigga different. Listen, my gad, I don't. First I
Speaker 1: thought they he was gonna kill somebody. This nigga was sold.
Speaker 1: They didn't even read at this.
Speaker 2: I was like, fuck me, and my sister's like, hey,
Speaker 2: we're wrong. Then Nigga started packing this ship. They started
Speaker 2: packing his fucking ship. And my grandmama like, no, Willie,
Speaker 2: you can't go. She calm, and usually you know, she'll
Speaker 2: huff up a little bit. But Brown Bert that Nigga
Speaker 2: had killed two niggas in his life too, so I
Speaker 2: realized she probably hadn't met on the masks, you know, saying.
Speaker 2: But she said, and this is the only thing that
Speaker 2: comes down. She said, you didn't come here angry. If
Speaker 2: you leave, you can't leave it. And he put everything
Speaker 2: back in head and each winter said and they just
Speaker 2: it was never spoken of again, but that was the
Speaker 2: one time. So for me, it's a it's a it's
Speaker 2: a business arrangement. In that my grandfather was functionally illiterate.
Speaker 2: He had to drop out in third grade because his
Speaker 2: father left. He had to raise his sister to help
Speaker 2: his mother. So his check came home on my ring.
Speaker 2: Now what he made gaming and on the side driving
Speaker 2: dup truck on the weekends, you know, for for you know,
Speaker 2: for small contract. That was his money, but his check
Speaker 2: the check. So I saw that kind of business arrangement,
Speaker 2: like okay, then, so I learned, Okay, if you if
Speaker 2: you can't trust with the check that ain't a woman,
Speaker 2: don't do that, you know what I'm saying. Or if
Speaker 2: you have a woman that's feelings with money, you better
Speaker 2: be more disciplined money. So it's a business arrangement.
Speaker 1: In that set.
Speaker 2: Just just just to me, fuck with somebody who understands
Speaker 2: living adam below your means and can do that which
Speaker 2: they're gonna ride around. They got them a hunder court
Speaker 2: proud with you. So when they get that, you know,
Speaker 2: I tell all the time, I said, you got a
Speaker 2: quarter million dollars and calls him the driveway I drive God,
Speaker 2: damn Helka, you know what I'm saying, Like I don't
Speaker 2: you know. But but when she drove that goddamn humble,
Speaker 2: she drove that motherfucker pride, and she drying and got
Speaker 2: damn rage, you know. So so for me and there's
Speaker 2: a there's a there's a business element to marriage, and
Speaker 2: some marriages are just pure business.
Speaker 1: And that's fine.
Speaker 2: I chose to marriage because I understood my I understood
Speaker 2: my slipperses and false, and we kind of balance each
Speaker 2: other false.
Speaker 1: Well you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: We used to both be bad about time and being
Speaker 2: like fuck that I be on time now, And she
Speaker 2: just said, wow, me, you know what I mean. We
Speaker 2: we've had to conceive certain stuff and I understand, but
Speaker 2: but I want you and you should love the person
Speaker 2: you married, but you don't have to. I seen successful
Speaker 2: marriages happen without love, but they created stay with human
Speaker 2: beings that went on to be loving people. But everybody
Speaker 2: ain't got to be. I just know for me, if
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have marriage, that I probably wouldn't have mad
Speaker 2: that marriage. Really, you know, I would never do that again.
Speaker 2: Certain So they used to getting because they're like getting
Speaker 2: getting free from jail and say, I want to go
Speaker 2: back for the same charge.
Speaker 1: That ain't speaking to get married.
Speaker 2: You to me, you need fundamentally, but what your marriage
Speaker 2: is need to be what you consider I got an
Speaker 2: uncle Vin and then offer league. They both man as
Speaker 2: a motherfucker marriage. I love them both to death. They happy,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. They happy, So be happy.
Speaker 2: I know a nigga with four wives all his kids
Speaker 2: went to school on scholarship. I had to pay for
Speaker 2: my kids cases. So ship, that nigga might have a.
Speaker 1: Better plan than me.
Speaker 2: But I bet they had a group school them. A
Speaker 2: little motherfucker that kid were fucking earlier day. But he
Speaker 2: a mustlem, you know what I mean. So whatever, whatever,
Speaker 2: your marriage is, just tailor fitted with you and your
Speaker 2: partner or partners, you know what I mean. But but,
Speaker 2: but but but don't don't let society tell you you
Speaker 2: know what it is or what it's about to be,
Speaker 2: because it's some lifetime ship. Though, if you're gonna be
Speaker 2: in there for life, you're gonna have some uncomfortable moments too,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, in no sense of walking
Speaker 2: around uncomfortable, testing yourself up, dying a few years earlier.
Speaker 2: This motherfucker on fuck somebody else spending money on him. Anyway,
Speaker 2: what it is, will we ever get.
Speaker 1: Trigger wanted two man, that's up to the white folks.
Speaker 2: I would love to do it, but yeah, I got
Speaker 2: I would love to do it for the money it
Speaker 2: takes to do it right. I was.
Speaker 1: I was. That was one of the times I was.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I was driving myself, you know, exhausted and behadrate because
Speaker 2: I was working so hard to prove it. You know,
Speaker 2: I've done, I've done everything. I wanted to be on
Speaker 2: TV as a kid, you know what I mean. That's
Speaker 2: why I like watching TV A ship like that. I
Speaker 2: didn't want to do typical TV, and I don't you
Speaker 2: know now I'm wrong and mature in my thought, but
Speaker 2: I always wanted to do something radically different. I used
Speaker 2: to watch a show called Real People Vironality who now
Speaker 2: owns the weather too, who was trying to everybody y'all
Speaker 2: hear about Vironality. There's a billionaire I started watching by
Speaker 2: he had always had his skin a little bla.
Speaker 1: You know, Real People.
Speaker 2: You watch it and they would go find these strange
Speaker 2: and wonderful people throughout the United States, and you just
Speaker 2: got a chance to see.
Speaker 1: Because again, I grew up in an all black world.
Speaker 1: We understand that most.
Speaker 2: People don't understand it, so other people was was it
Speaker 2: was literally alien At me, it was amazing. It was
Speaker 2: it was cool learning about other people. So, you know,
Speaker 2: for me, that's what trigger on it. It gave me
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be this wandering figure just figuring stuff out.
Speaker 1: And I really did that ship. You really like that
Speaker 1: bench four hours? So I did ship.
Speaker 2: Like we have a problem with with people not learning,
Speaker 2: so I try to use panography to learn to help
Speaker 2: people to learn. How you trade, how you do that.
Speaker 2: I show him a buck flick and how to wire
Speaker 2: a lamp. Everybody naked, but like I paid more attention
Speaker 2: that they never trade over. We we did something where
Speaker 2: we we we did something where we I started my
Speaker 2: own country, New Africa, and ran with an election against
Speaker 2: against some other people and then they voted for me
Speaker 2: because popularity oftentimes wins over over capability and the red
Speaker 2: coke in.
Speaker 1: The yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. So with that
Speaker 1: I changed the election.
Speaker 2: Why you change the election not for me to me
Speaker 2: and for me to lose because the woman, the black woman,
Speaker 2: was a better leader because I had.
Speaker 1: To go on too.
Speaker 2: I'm giving that to doing drugs onto the flame. I
Speaker 2: don't want to lead, it's I want I'm curious. People
Speaker 2: make me curious, So I want to do another trigger warning.
Speaker 2: I just can't do it at the budget. So if
Speaker 2: they give me the budget we need. I would love
Speaker 2: to so that budget up for that.
Speaker 1: I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Fox and Netflix were part of that happening, so shotx
Speaker 2: so shouts out to FX, thank you all to shouts
Speaker 2: out to Netflix.
Speaker 1: I love to figure out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Finally I want to ask you,
Speaker 2: a lot of people look to you for guidance. You're leader,
Speaker 2: you respected right, four's coming. People are kind of a
Speaker 2: lot of people are kind of confused about what to
Speaker 2: do politically, but they're gonna look to you for answers.
Speaker 1: They looked at you.
Speaker 2: A lot of people fucked with Bernie because you fucked
Speaker 2: with Bernie. A lot of people's listen to Killer. So
Speaker 2: what you gotta say to the people have to say
Speaker 2: is hyper hyper hyper local. Who is your prosecutor? Who
Speaker 2: are the judges you're gonna be voting for? And if
Speaker 2: you don't know, you.
Speaker 1: Should google your prosecutors and judges. You should say that.
Speaker 1: You should say to yourself, how has this happened? Since
Speaker 1: how our mayor has done a fine job in afford
Speaker 1: of my house. He's doing a great job. I would
Speaker 1: hate for other things that were not the mission to
Speaker 1: take precedent over that when it's time to vote again
Speaker 1: because it's still black people living in this neighborhood. And
Speaker 1: when I go to other cities a black people in
Speaker 1: certain neighborhoods usual to be black.
Speaker 2: So that's one reason I feel like I'm run with
Speaker 2: this mayor because he's actually brought the things home he
Speaker 2: said he was bringing home. So I don't even up
Speaker 2: to the president because I'm too days thinking about my mayor.
Speaker 2: This governor, who a lot of people didn't like or
Speaker 2: did not want me to like, has engaged me as
Speaker 2: a as a taxpayer and as a as a as
Speaker 2: a person in the community that's affected by prisons.
Speaker 1: Trump I took it well, I ain't gonna do this.
Speaker 2: I'm only talking about my mother, who didn't you know,
Speaker 2: who didn't support you know, Trump's you know, push for
Speaker 2: it to recount or whatever he was pitching for it.
Speaker 2: But our governor stood on the side of what to
Speaker 2: me was principals at that time. And that's what makes me.
Speaker 2: I don't have to grieve, you don't have to reality policies.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a grand disagreement. There's a gang enhancement
Speaker 2: bill that came across. It enhances if you are caught
Speaker 2: recruiting kids and the gangs and things of that nature.
Speaker 1: Right, And I pitched my case for myself. I have
Speaker 1: to talk to you.
Speaker 2: He gave me audience with the lawyers, gave me audience
Speaker 2: with staff. I said, well, this is how I see it.
Speaker 2: If you look, we had a thirteen year old girl
Speaker 2: that is recruited in the prostitution by an eighteen year
Speaker 2: old girl. You look at both of those girls, it's
Speaker 2: victims because both eighteen year old girl at one time
Speaker 2: was unless it used, abused, she was trained, right, girl,
Speaker 2: I said, I need you to look at gangs in
Speaker 2: the same way. If you're a seventeen eighteen year old
Speaker 2: young man, you're recruiting a thirteen year old you've never
Speaker 2: been a leader, You've never been.
Speaker 1: Considered the leader. It's the only thing that's giving you
Speaker 1: a sense of leader of the community of brotherhood.
Speaker 2: Then I think you should look at that the same
Speaker 2: way you be looking at eighteen year old girl.
Speaker 1: Then and I lost that case. I pitched it.
Speaker 2: He gave me audience. But when it came time to sign,
Speaker 2: still sign right, double back around, Like I said. A
Speaker 2: year later, he knows all right, Mike told me in
Speaker 2: these conversations. If our boys have traded earlier, if I
Speaker 2: then our girls going to college, but our boys need
Speaker 2: something to do. He kept me in mind for that.
Speaker 2: It's just politics, you know what I'm saying. It's just politics.
Speaker 2: It's just like every nigga I have about don't film
Speaker 2: out of their life.
Speaker 1: Oh man, lord, no, some of the niggas. I hate it.
Speaker 1: So what you independent? What I am? I'm a nigga.
Speaker 2: I'm a black man, but I don't belong to no party.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is black people be black.
Speaker 1: I'm a black.
Speaker 2: If you're a Republican, I'm a black Republican be that
Speaker 2: because they always, you know, they tell us things like,
Speaker 2: you know, you shouldn't put African American on anything that
Speaker 2: that type ship. And I'm like, yeah, but all my
Speaker 2: Greek friends said, I'm Greek. That doesn't mean they're not
Speaker 2: American culturally. They understand I'm Greek. Am I a Russian
Speaker 2: free you know what I'm saying. I'm Russian?
Speaker 1: Like they don't. They don't want. You can't run from
Speaker 1: who you are, nib We can't run from who y'all.
Speaker 1: He's black? Were black first that you are?
Speaker 3: But paying attention to the policies and benefit.
Speaker 1: Our old permanent friends and allies and politics. That's just
Speaker 1: what it is. Not.
Speaker 2: That's not saying about no permanent allis not saying you
Speaker 2: still can't be my friend.
Speaker 1: But we're not. We didn't be on that the thing
Speaker 1: that we read on though we're pushing forward, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 2: That's how she is that we agreed to trade schools
Speaker 2: and do this, and you're about to put forty something
Speaker 2: million or put forty million in the trade schools that
Speaker 2: ended up on trade and and then some of us
Speaker 2: saw his way to Atlanta. Then I can't get to
Speaker 2: work with what I got. One thing, you know, my
Speaker 2: mama told me about it, about a lot of shit,
Speaker 2: But the ship I got a yes home, I ran
Speaker 2: it all the way up. So I would suggest black
Speaker 2: people looking at now now might have then been on
Speaker 2: here and you could say, well, man, fuck that fat
Speaker 2: then know what he's talking about. Man, it's all that
Speaker 2: old shed you know what's up. But I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: you this. I got sent Magic Johnson about three four
Speaker 2: times the other day. I'm like, man, why everybody keeps
Speaker 2: saying me Magic?
Speaker 1: Like you know, just musta said some significant shouts out
Speaker 1: to Freddy Oath. Freddy O said, they asked Magic Johnson.
Speaker 2: He was in the process of doing the press conference
Speaker 2: about buying Atlanta Life Insurance Company.
Speaker 1: Y'all should google Alonso Herrid Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, yet black man own barbershops that hired employed
Speaker 2: all black people, a couple of them, service to all
Speaker 2: white men.
Speaker 1: He hears business.
Speaker 2: Insurance all this kind of shit you talked about, He says, Man,
Speaker 2: black people can't even get insurance. He starts to get
Speaker 2: insurance policies for them. I will assume and then supplement
Speaker 2: builds the largest black insurance company in the world right
Speaker 2: here in Atlanta. Magic Johnson, of course is again He's
Speaker 2: the person I love, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wieling, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. But Magic was the person that comes
Speaker 2: and said, I can take my entertainment and I can
Speaker 2: leverage the shitna being a business person. So he's bid
Speaker 2: for the last twenty seven old timiny s eight years
Speaker 2: of my life. Then, so when I looked up to Magic,
Speaker 2: said yo, they said, how'd you find out? He said,
Speaker 2: Killing Mike. He said, we were watching something and kill
Speaker 2: the Mike and Killer Mike started talking about this man
Speaker 2: and this company, and we had no research. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna just say, if a billionaires fucking around listening to me,
Speaker 2: if you somewhere in the barbershop arguing over if you
Speaker 2: like my album or not, or if you're a mother
Speaker 2: with some son, or if you a dad that want
Speaker 2: to give something, maybe you should just check it out.
Speaker 2: Because I'm not gonna ask you for no money at
Speaker 2: the end of the speech, I'm not gonna charge you
Speaker 2: to come and get in. I'm gonna do the same
Speaker 2: thing this man, this woman. Do just give you some
Speaker 2: free game in a hug. Yeah, and we should have
Speaker 2: been so. If you were in Georgia, because I'm staying
Speaker 2: high per Low. If you in Georgia you voted for
Speaker 2: war Knock, you voted for also, I would start to
Speaker 2: stay there statewide, or if whoever you voted for in
Speaker 2: terms of the board of education your respective city of county,
Speaker 2: I would start pressing for funds to be put in
Speaker 2: high school to bring trades back. Harbor High School was
Speaker 2: a trade and Murphy what was Murphy High School? I
Speaker 2: forgot its crim now Lazo crem now Frederick Douglas. All
Speaker 2: these schools a child should be able to come in
Speaker 2: and say, well, if I'm not Magnet program and I'm
