41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: as you playing. But when you was locked up, you

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: found out that you had some special attributes about yourself.

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: You actually learned how to rap in a hole. That's right.

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: That's a fact. That's a fact. I never I never

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: had no you know, inspirational thoughts about being a rapper.

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I was always a fan. I wasn't, you know, I wasn't.

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I was a fan of music period. You know, you know,

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: um when the West Coast started to take off, and

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, I was in prison when when m C eight,

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, and um, you know Minister Society came out.

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: You know, we was, we was all fans of that.

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: We we we we watched Tupac Rise, we watched everything

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: happened in the Death Row and all that, you know.

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: But I wasn't inspired to ever be an artist. I

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: didn't start rapping as I was actually, you know, in

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: a in a hole one of these times, and you know,

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: spending a year in there, and you know some guys

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: that was rapping on the gate and it was a

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Friday night, and I just was just like, man, you

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: know what the next you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: get up the next morning and write me my first rhyme,

62
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: and I just I started just to do it out

63
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: of out of boardom just just the past the time.

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: So that's how I started to develop and do that.

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, I know coming from the streets, man,

66
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: real street niggas kind of looked down on ravers, you know,

67
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: real street niggas. Sol did any of your homies trip

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: on you when you came home talking But I'm gonna

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: be a rapper now? Was They kind of like, man,

70
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: what then you're talking about man rapping? See, that's that's

71
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: the thing. Like, So I come from a place where

72
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't fashionable to be a rapper. It was like rapper,

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: you rap, nigger rapper. So it was I had I

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: had to keep it a secret for my guys, you know,

75
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and and I had to keep it. You know. I

76
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: just wasn't coming on the yard and just rapping because

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, it was just not the thing to be

78
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: doing because like I said, you mean, we know, it

79
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: wasn't always fashionable to be that. You know. I never

80
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: looked up to artists in that way. I never looked

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I never idolized rappers in that way. I didn't look

82
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: at rappers and want to beat them, you know what

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean. I was more infatuated with the other side

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: of things. And you know, so so what I did

85
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: was because I didn't want to just spring that on

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 1: my homies. I kept it. I kept it to myself

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: for as long as I could. And and I you know,

88
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: and because you know, my niggas loved me, so you

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: know it was I got to a point where I

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: was like, yo, I think we could do music as

91
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: a as a hustle. So I had to present it

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to them like as an idea of a hustle, as

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: an idea for us to try something different, because now

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: we're in our twenties and it's like, you know, we've

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: been out here doing all this ship for all these years.

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, we were throwing our lives away. Let's try

97
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: to do something different, you know. We we we've seen

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: what when music has done for you know, for hustlers

99
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: and dudes like like holding up, Like we could do

100
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: the same thing. We come from the same neighborhood as

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: like Big In and J C and stuff like that,

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: so we could why not, you know, and a lot

103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: of a lot of cats um come from the street aspect.

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we looked at that ship as a hustle.

105
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: You know. It's a way to not get caught up

106
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: by the one time, you know, a serving or serving

107
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: ya on the corner, fucking when we serve some rhymes,

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: because I see niggas is making money from that ship.

109
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: And especially if I can talk about the neighborhood and

110
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: put some tails in the streets of ship, we do

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: on that aspect. So it becomes to the hussle like

112
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: the d you feel me exactly exactly, So why you

113
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: can't be a gangster and start rapping and you just

114
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: said one of those real cats that's on some real

115
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: gangster ship and the ship that you're spending out there,

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: people perceive that because they know what type of cat

117
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: you is. So why you couldn't just bam, just be

118
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: that nigga? I mean, you know you you are who

119
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: you are no matter what you put on later on,

120
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: you are who you are. So if your core is

121
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: you know you you're a stand up dude, and you

122
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: won't be a stand up dude no matter how you

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: how you uh, you know how you put it. But

124
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: to me in the beginning, it was it was just

125
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: the way I just had a I guess, you know,

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: um insecurity on how I thought people would perceive me,

127
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, and plus I wish I was a lot younger,

128
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, Um, but you are who you are after

129
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: a wild though. When when when the music starts to

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: become profitable and you start to make some ways? You

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: can't do both though, Oh for sure, it's definitely hard.

132
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: You gotta pick a side at some point. I mean,

133
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: you are who you are as a man. But at

134
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: some point, you know, when it becomes a business for you,

135
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: you have to. You have to. You have to pick

136
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: one one hat over the other. Yeah, man, And that's

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: the thing, man, I want to go back. Man, when

Speaker 1: gone through that already. Spaw fit um. So you know,

156
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, growing up the way I grew up, you know,

157
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: going to prison almost felt like you expected it because

158
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: it was everything that you've seen around you. You know,

159
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: all of the dudes that you respected have been in jail.

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Everybody that I looked up to have been in jail. Um,

161
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: And you almost expected to be one day in that

162
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: situation because it becomes natural because of the environment that

163
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: you win. Because the environment is aggressive. The environment is

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: is violent. You're selling growths, were shooting, and the police

165
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: is gonna come at some point. We expected. Um. But

166
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: my prison experience, I hated prison every day. But you

167
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: know I got into a lot of trouble in there. Um.

168
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I am gonna hold you. You know, I got into

169
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble when I was in prison. I

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: was in over ten different prisons, some of them twice

171
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: while I was in prison. And that's a hell of

172
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: a lot of different prisons to being you know. So

173
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: that's just a testament of how much trouble I I

174
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: used to get into. You know, I spent almost four

175
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: years in solitary can from it. So I was I

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: was a knucklehead, you know what I mean? And you

177
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: know I wasn't. I was definitely not one of the

178
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, one of the model inmates. You understand, you know,

179
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: I stayed and I stayed in the ship so um,

180
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: but I hated and I hated it every day of it.

181
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: And I knew that I wouldn't um when I whenever

182
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: I did leave prison, I knew that I wouldn't leave

183
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: my spirit in there, you know what I mean, I

184
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't do. I wouldn't do. So I had us about

185
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: who I was. I wasn't gonna come to jail and

186
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: become something that I wasn't. I wasn't gonna come to

187
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: jail become and involved myself with you know, homosexuality, involved

188
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: myself with and become a drug addict, you know, become up,

189
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: become a jail house snitch like these. Because I felt

190
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: like if I did any one of those things that

191
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I would be leaving my spirit in prison. So you know,

192
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: I still tall. I did whatever I had to do.

193
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: Um you know, I shook it up many many many

194
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: times with many men, and and I'm and I'm here,

195
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: and I'm here to show it with all my scars,

196
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: bro Blessed. I mean, that's that's the transition that we

197
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: we like to present the people, you know what I'm saying,

198
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: because they hear there, they hear gangster chronicles, and they

199
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: feel like we want to advocate for all the negative

200
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: ship that we that that that comes with that word.

201
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: But like I tell people when we conversate with Needers

202
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: on this show, it's about the transition and coming out

203
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: on the other side, you know, doing that. You know,

204
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: a lot of us was products of our environment of

205
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: living that bluff life or gangster ship or selling dope

206
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: or whatever. But to be able to stand here today,

207
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it's a lot of ship

208
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: that motherfucker's don't damn. You ain't supposed to be here today.

209
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: You give me, you're still supposed to be We're supposed

210
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: to still be in prison for about twenty something more years,

211
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: or we're supposed to be underground, you feeling, so to

212
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: be able to show people that it's like myself, like you,

213
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: like James, that we're able to come through the other

214
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: side clean. You know what I'm saying. Uh, it's just

215
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the positive impact that we try to let people see

216
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: on gangster chronicles and then we're able to be strong

217
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: black men today and not be mislaid by pitfalls of

218
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. You know, because as young dudes, we all

219
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: see that ship is glamorized of banging or representing or

220
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: being like you said that knuckle, especially as a young

221
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: motherfucker going to prison. You know, that's like earning your

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: stripes right there. It is, it is, and then you

223
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: know you're you're impressionable, and you know, you know like

224
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: you you're impressionable. And then you know, you know one thing,

225
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: like I'm not letting nobody hurt me. I'm not about

226
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: to be you know, I was. I was. I thought

227
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I was somebody in the street, you know what I mean.

228
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: I thought I had a reputation in the street. I'm

229
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna protect that in here. All means you know what

230
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean? And what what you you? You you live

231
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: and you learn and the thing about growing is that

232
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: you once you get an opportunity to live and you

233
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: see how important life is. And then you see how

234
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, some of the things that you thought and

235
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: some of the feelings that you had really wasn't really

236
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: what it was. But you just needed that time. You

237
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: just needed the opportunity to live a little so you

238
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: can broad in your mind and you can level up,

239
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: and you can you can look back on your on

240
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: your younger years. You can look back in your teenage

241
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: years and you can see that, man I was, I was.

242
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I was so destructive, you know. I you know, that

243
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: really wasn't the right way to go. And you know

244
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: so now when you you know, like myself, I got

245
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: an eighteen ye old son, So now I was imprisoned

246
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: by the time I was an eighteen you know. So

247
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I because of my experience, I can better, you know,

248
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: got him because I know the pitfalls. I understand what

249
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: it what it feels like to be a young teenage

250
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: black male trying to find yourself, you know. And he

251
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: got it way easier than I did. So you know,

252
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: it gives me that much more of an inspiration to

253
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: be to be here and and and to maintain what

254
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing and keep it pushing. Bro. Yeah, it's especially

255
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: in hip hop man, because what I've been seeing over

256
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: the this treeing over like the last teen years, man,

257
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: and where you got a whole lot of talented young

258
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: artists that's going to prison. Like you just had Bobby's

259
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: murder on your show. You know, he had tied his career.

260
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: He got this big gass record that don't took off,

261
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: and he couldn't even enjoy the fruits of his labor.

262
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure the Ricord company could have posted

263
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: a bill for this nigga did something for what they

264
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: don't do ship. They kind of turned their back on

265
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: him and then profited off all the chaos. You know

266
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: what I mean? Why do that? Dumb? Why do that?

267
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: I think if if if you turn yourself, you start

268
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: doing wrap and then you're good at it, and then

269
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: you go in the street. Just like you said earlier,

270
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: you can't do both. You can't be a gangster and

271
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: and wrap it at the same time. Do what you

272
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: do and and now you got an opportunity to leave

273
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: that ship alone. So that's when we should know. Okay,

274
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: I got a bag up from your fellas, and everybody

275
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: that's in your corner should should have your back at

276
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: that time when you try to transition from a gangster

277
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: to to wrapping to make money, So why go belly

278
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: mana jail that that only enhanced how he think? So

279
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: you think they should have left the young brother and

280
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: then they did well, well, well, well, well, not to

281
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: cut you off, but specific to bothering them situation, A

282
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of what was going on with

283
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: them was that they they had already had issues and

284
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: it was already you know, um underinvestigation way before he

285
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: even popped off. So you know, it was a likely

286
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: like a you know, a likely chance that he was

287
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: already gonna be on that path to go to go

288
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: to prison anyway, because they was already on him. I

289
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: think the issue is is when artists have the opportunity

290
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: to become artists to get money to you know, to

291
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: to to feed their families, and then become criminals later,

292
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: that is hustling backwards. Because I always felt like, you know,

293
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: we was in the street not because we wanted to be,

294
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: because we adapted to whatever whatever environment was. If you

295
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: speak to any any any real dude you know that's

296
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: actually really be active in the streeting it, whether he

297
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: and his late twenties or early thirties. He don't really

298
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: want to be there. He don't really want to be there,

299
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Like like we did what we had to do because

300
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: we felt we adapted to our environment. We became savage

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: because that was a response to our environment. Like how

302
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: do you how do you get an opportunity to become

303
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: a star and then become a criminal later on? Like that,

304
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: to me, it is kind of productive. That ain't really

305
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: what it was because you had every opportunity to be

306
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: what you say you is now prior to that, and

307
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't participate, you know. So I think that that's

308
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: with the with the differences is when we see a

309
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: lot of these young dudes become something that they really

310
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: wasn't laid on. Yeah, you see it all day like um,

311
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: and that's more the thing like you said, Bobby, And

312
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: then was in the streets and I know a lot.

313

Speaker 1: they pop thought and he was going out there messing

318
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: with him and stuff. So my My thing is this, Um,

319
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I see a lot of cats out here. Now. My

320
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: problem is with the guys that make it then decide

321
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: to come then decide, oh, I'm gonna beat this gamester.

322
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get jumped in and I'm gonna go

323
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: to the coast. You see these cats all the time,

324
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: come out here and get caught up in that ship.

325
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: They get caught up in the game ship. They come

326
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: out here and they get on with a bunch of

327
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: niggas that really ain't working with them like that. But

328
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: they got money and they got some influence, and before

329
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: you know what, they're getting their cribs broken too, and

330
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: ship and all the little funny ships start happening and everything. Um,

331
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: do you ever try to holler at some of these

332
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: niggas mainly wanta tell them, man, look you're hustling backwards.

333
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you gotta you gotta be careful

334
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: you know how you give your advice, you know what

335
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, because you don't. You always want to maintain

336
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: a respect level. You know, you you just can't be

337
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: the nigga just running around passing on advice because then

338
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: you're just like you know, niggas could see that as

339
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: you being just too preachy, you know what I mean.

340
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: But for the ones that I actually have relationships with,

341
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: for the ones that you know that we actually call

342
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: each other and we actually you don't spend time around

343
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: each other, you know. Of course, we get into conversations

344
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: where you know, I try to tell them that the

345
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: opportunity is greater than the problem, and I try to

346
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: give them life lessons and stuff like that. You know. Yeah,

347
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing you know, in talking

348
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: to talking to the big broke James all the time,

349
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: and just different castes. I know, Man, it seems like

350
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: the hardest part man, for a guy that's come out

351
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: of prisoners, standing out of prison. Indeed, indeed, I got

352
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: a book, um that I'm coming out with soon. Um

353
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: it should have been out. I've been working on this

354
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: but for so long. You know. It's called the Auto Freedom.

355
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: And what you just said is a testament to you know, um,

356
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: something that a lot of people not talking about, you know,

357
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: the conversation about prison reform and reforming you know, repealing

358
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: laws and all that is is is a great thing,

359
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: but there's there's also the conversation that I don't feel

360
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: like we're havn't enough, and that's the conversation of all

361
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: dudes are actually not knowing what to do when they

362
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: get back, you understand, and not having as many options,

363
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: not having so many opportunities, And a lot of it

364
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: starts with the way you're thinking, you know. So I

365
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: put together a book, you know, it's sort of like

366
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: my version of a of a forty eight Laws of power,

367
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, but it's based it's me speaking to my

368
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: street niggas and my niggas that just you know, either

369
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: it just came home or was about to come home,

370
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: and it's my philosophy and my views on on on

371
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: the steps that I feel like should be taken or

372
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: could be taken to maintain your freedom. You know, because

373
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: before you can be successful at any anything, whether it's

374
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: some rap shit or anything to do with entertainment or

375
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you gotta be successful at being free.

376
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: So a lot of that start with the way you think,

377
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: and the way you think about your moves, and where

378
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: you think about your freedom, and the way you're position yourself.

379
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's going to determine how you how you

380
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, how you how you turn out because how

381
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: many of us have been been watching dudes go to

382
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: prison for the last twenty years or whatever, you know

383
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, and he just can't get it right. So, um,

384
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: that's something that I that I'm that I'm coming out

385
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: with soon. Well, it's almost designed for him not to

386
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: get it right. You figured. You get a cat that

387
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: comes home, you know, especially the homies that's been in

388
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: for ten or more years, even five years, you come out,

389
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: it's a whole different motherfucking world you're behind. Yeah, what

390
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: what makes you makes you wake up? It's not even

391
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: that it is I call a penitentiary propaganda. Uh. You

392
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: make a lot of a lot of this. You make

393
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: a lot of I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do

394
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: that when you're in the penitentiary or ain't coming back

395
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: here no more. You make a lot of promises to yourself.

396
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: But when you smell the different air, when you smell freedom,

397
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: you you're going right back to where you came from.

398
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: And a lot of us don't pay attention. Before I

399
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: walk out of this door, I've really got to make

400
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: this decision and where I'm gonna go this way out

401
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: that way. Nine times out of the time we are

402
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: thinking like that because I didn't did through years sitting down.

403
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: The first thing I want to do is go get

404
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: up in something next, gonna hang with the homies that

405
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: everybody know them out. Now once you do that, everybody

406
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: coming to you on the homies. Just get out of

407
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: the prison. Now you feel like that penitentiary celebrity. You

408
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: feel me now out Now you're hanging and before you

409
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: know it, you can't. You can't grab that grip again

410
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: and saying, Okay, damn, I'm supposed to be following protocol

411
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: and I said I was gonna do this and do that.

412
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: You ain't thinking like that. No more penitentiary propaganda. Thinking

413
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: about one thing. But you've got something else on your mind,

414
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: and that's the homies, that's the hood, that's the chicks.

415
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: Now you get somebody to lace you with a little

416
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: something something here, This will hold you over. Now you

417
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: all you you're back in the streets. You know what

418
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And before you knew it, you're on the violation.

419
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: Now you're down. That propaganda is coming right back. Hear you.

420
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have did this. When I come home after

421
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: this year two years, I ain't gonna do this. And

422
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: then you find yourself right back in the same ship.

423
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: So it's pretty much lying to yourself while we're in prison,

424
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: and then when we get out of prison, we're so

425
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: happy to be free, we go right back to the

426
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: same bullshit. So being in prison, you gotta be honest

427
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: with yourself, and you gotta know where you want to

428
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: go once that gate open and they give you that

429
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: little money to walk out of there. I've seen it done,

430
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: I've done it. I've been out of prison since the

431
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: night and haven't seen one since. So I know, and

432
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: I knew, and no female gonna bring me back to prison,

433
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: and I ain't gonna let the homies bring me back

434
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: to prison because there's nothing in there. Once the CAVI.

435
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: Once you realize that, I can't nobody send you back

436
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: to prison but yourself. M yeah, because once once you

437
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: realize the kind of the cards that stacked again, the

438
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: deck is stacked against you anyway, because you figured you

439
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: get a nigger to come home, right, he got every

440
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: intention he gonna get back with his baby mom's. He

00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,399

00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: be a good dude, y'all show, you know, talking him

506
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: about this net and everything. What do you feel about

507
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: the rise of the gangs in New York? Not that

508
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, I ain't necessarily an opinion, But

509
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of crazy, ain't it. Yeah? You see, it

510
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: started in prison. I was in prison when it started,

511
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: and I understood why it was starting, you know, Um,

512
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: you know it was it was a time when um,

513
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: you know a lot of the Hispanic brothers, you know,

514
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: they was ganged up and you know it was it was,

515
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: it was it was an error where you know it

516
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: was it was it was more or less kind of

517
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: dumb against blacks and we wasn't unified. So um, for

518
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: my understanding, you know, and Cet, a couple of brothers

519
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: got together and was just like, Yo, we're gonna, we're gonna,

520
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna ban together and and that's that was the

521
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: start of the Bloods and it and it became what

522
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: it became. So I understood what it what it was for.

523
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: And you know that that unity that that was needed

524
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: in that era. Um, you know, it became, it became

525
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: what it became. You know. I never I never was

526
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: involved with the gangs, because that's not the ver I

527
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: really come from, you know. Um, I'm just maybe a

528
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: couple of years before that, you know, and it was

529
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: it was cool to be able to stand on your

530
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: own and have your name on your own and not

531
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: need nobody or not, you know, not go to jail

532
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: and become this or become that. You know. So, uh,

533
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: it is what it is right now, bro, Like you

534
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I wish it was a lot

535
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: more leadership though, you know, I wish, you know, especially

536
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: in my part of town. Like I wish it was

537
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: a lot more solid leadership, you know, because there's a

538
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of things that I feel like they can do. Uh,

539
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: and it could be more more useful doing, you know,

540
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: if it was if the leadership was better. Yeah, I

541
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: feel that, man. And that's I think that's all around

542
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: the country, dog because these you know, these these young niggers, man,

543
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: they kind of think different, not kind of they think different.

544
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I think they do before they think. You feel what

545
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm in And when you don't have that big homie

546
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of leading you, it ain't numb but destruction and

547
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: death to fund him, guarantee. But that's right. See, we

548
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: was young niggas, and we didn't. We didn't, we didn't

549
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: think you know, So I understand that aspect of it,

550
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, but when nowadays, when it when the when

551
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the big homie is not is not even as smart

552
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: or as intelligent as the as the little homies, then

553
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: what what do you have? So when your big homie

554
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: is never never amounted to anything, it's never you know, uh,

555
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: surpassed things in life or is not experienced enough in life,

556
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: then then all you're gonna have is destruction, you know,

557
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: And all he's been doing all his life is spinning

558
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: in destructing, then that's all he gonna So he's gonna

559
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: get food too, so he's gonna give birth to the

560
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, it's the blind leading the blind. And

561
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, really with the aspect because you know, like

562
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: I said, we are always young niggas. At one time

563
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: and as far as we was on the West Coast,

564
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: we didn't have you know what you would call that

565
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: that that leader structure in the games and ship. I mean,

566
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: even though we were all together, it was like you know,

567
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: you stand on your own. Even though we watched each

568
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: other back and we together ship, we didn't have like

569
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: just one main motherfucker controlling or structuralized in the neighborhood game.

570
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: So I think as far as we were on the

571
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: West Coast, it was different from us, way different. We

572
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: had big homies. You're gonna always have big homies because

573
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: you you got those guys, you followed us older than you.

574
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: But other than that, we never had somebody to shake,

575
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: y'all gonna go over here, y'all this now, I wouldn't

576
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: having that. Some neighborhoods, some neighborhoods did, but like my neighborhood,

577
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: we didn't have that. Like the markets nuns of of yesteryear,

578
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 1: back in the days, they were leaders. They were the

579
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: ones that put certain things together for their neighborhoods, and

580
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of cats followed followed that. But in

581
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, we didn't have the O G that's that's

582
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: putting the ship together. The majority of our ogs work

583
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: on some other ship going back and forth to prison

584
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: just on GP. Couldn't even give that number back, uh

585
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: drugs or some ship like that, robbery ship like that.

586
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: They wasn't sitting on the block the homies y'all sucking up, y'all.

587
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: I didn't have that, So I didn't look at the

588
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: big homies as I need to go get at these dudes,

589
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 1: or don't do this because it's repercussion to it. I

590
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: did what I wanted to do how I wanted to

591
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: do it, and I had catch that ran with me

592
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: and we put ship together. So we never had a leader.

593
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's whether you have a leader

594
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: or whatever title these you know people use. Eight seventeen

595
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: years old, you can think for yourself, and a lot

596
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: of cats don't think for theirself. They think they have

597
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: to follow. Just like you said you wouldn't you weren't

598
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: part of a game you was doing. You You got

599
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: your reputation off of you. I called that gangster by

600
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: nature and not by choice, because you found your own way.

601
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: You stood up and and did you and people recognize

602
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: you for you, not for the hood. But they recognize

603
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: you'll get down. So that's all that is. Man is

604
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't need a title to to fit in or

605
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: feel like I'm part of the group. Every man needs

606
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: to think for herself, but some some some neighborhoods they don't.

607
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Some neighborhoods do. And I would say our interpretation of

608
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: l A we always kind of thought it was like,

609
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,320

Speaker 1: questions I want to ask you, and you a guy

654
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: that's qualified to answer this. You coming from the place

655
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: that you come from, man, and you first getting this

656
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: recording industry, one of the most fakest motherfucking businesses in

657
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: the world. Did the ship kind of like throw you

658
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: for a loop a little bit? It did because I

659
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: thought they wanted to see some real ship. So I

660
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: started putting hands on that and I said and it

661
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you really did that. And I was like, yeah,

662
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: you ain't want to see that. I thought that this

663
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: is what y'all, This is what y'all wanted. You wanted

664
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: the real thing, right, you wanted the genuine article, right,

665
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: you know. But that's not it's a goodness from exact,

666
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, because it's a lot of mentality was wrong.

667
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: I was like, all these niggas is fake. We're gonna

668
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: come in the game and just over aggressive. Just my

669
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: mentality was long, and I wish somebody would have told me,

670
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: really explained to me that this was really just a

671
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: business and it was really just about images, and it

672
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: was really about marketing exactly. It's just it's just what

673
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: it is. It's just that because you because when you

674
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: do some real ship and you and we scared your

675
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: and we scared your money away, your motherfucker's will be

676
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: ready to cancel you like it ain't ship, Like oh god, damn,

677
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is a real nigger. This motherfucker. They liked

678
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: to pretend ship and they like the facade of what

679
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: it looks like. But when they run into a motherfucker

680
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: who were really running and kicking your no one pull

681
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: a pistol on and slapped the ship out of motherfucker,

682
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: they get no good. They back then, but then they

683
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: still want to make money off the ship. Well, they're

684
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: gonna make money off you as long as you you

685
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: You you're valuable and you gotta always have some value,

686
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: you know. But the thing is you, you you can

687
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: mess up a lot of your opportunities not knowing. So

688
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of a lot of a

689
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: lot of me bumping my head in the industry was

690
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: because I was coming directly off the streets I was.

691
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: I was coming from Prisident and I was from prisoner.

692
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: I went back to the street, and it was just like,

693
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: we're coming right out of the street right into the industry.

694
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: So we don't have the game or we don't have

695
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: nobody to really say, yo, look, let me sit down

696
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: and really give you the game for what it really is.

697
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: Because you you you you're intelligent, but you need to

698
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: just shop in a couple other things. And you know,

699
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: had I known that then, I would I would uh,

700
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: I would not have cut off some of my opportunities early,

701
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: you know. But I figured it out, you know, as

702
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: time went on. You know, it's it's it's just a

703
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: game man, It's it's marking in you know, it's a

704
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: it's a business bro. Oh yeah, it's definitely a businessman.

705
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: And I think it kicks, you know, I don't know,

706
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: some talented dudes, man, some talented brothers that street and

707
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: came in the ship and really just lost their mind

708
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: because it wasn't what they thought it was and they

709
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: wound up not being able to progress, you know, and

710
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: it's like you just can't. It's so funny. And I

711
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: told somebody that cats like the Takashi six nine. They

712
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: are producted all the bullshit. They are product of all

713
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: the bullshit. That's the ship that got created by the industry, man,

714
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: because you figure these kids seen that. That's the biggest

715
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: thing though, man, Because I see a lot of people

716
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: coming to this thing, man, and it ain't what they

717
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: thought it was, and they get disappointed because they meet

718
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: niggas that they thought was that. Dude, and you meet

719
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: them and you're like, damn, I'm disappointed, because yeah, yeah

720
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: it is. And I feel like us being niggers though

721
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: a lot of times we were our heart and our

722
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: emotions on our sleeves and it wasn't really designed for us.

723
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you, for me, the moment that

724
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: I stopped, I stopped taking things personal is the moment

725
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: I started to do better. The moment when I figured

726
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: out that that the industry and the people that that

727
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: that inhabited are not like me, and they don't have

728
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: the same values, they don't have the same preciples, they

729
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: don't have the same integrity me and I'm gonna be

730
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: offended all the time because they're gonna always do things

731
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: and offend me. The minute that I stopped taking it

732
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: personal is the is the minute that I I was

733
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: able to progress a lot more because I was like,

734
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: it took I took it, took the emotion out of everything,

735
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: and I wasn't women you know my emotions. I was

736
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: like every time somebody said that day was gonna call

737
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: me and didn't call me back, or you know, stop

738
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: answering their phone. Those things drive street is crazy. Like

739
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: if we can't take that because we did, trust me,

740
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: trust me, because I'm gonna tell you we do with

741
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: and personally we did with I, work we did with Nigga.

742
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: Not hitting you back will make you want to go

743
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: slap the ship out of there exactly. And if it's

744
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: on some music ship, you gotta be just like you

745
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: know something, fuck it, let me keep you pushing the ship.

746
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: Because this is I don't understand the concept of where

747
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm at with Nigga. Goddamn, you can't even hit me

748
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: back or the respect that even just answering the phone call,

749
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: especially I got to do with it. In this business,

750
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: you feel when they don't come from the same walks

751
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: of life you come from. This motherfucker probably sitting at

752
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: his desk every day. You know what, I'm saying on

753
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: some front, ship or people don't even some some people

754
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: work their words not even important to them. So so

755
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: certain things that's important to you, that's important to us,

756
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: they don't have that same value system. So then you

757
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: you gotta measure your expectations on them. I can't expect

758
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: him to to to to put value in his word

759
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: when he wasn't raised to do so. If he was

760
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: comfortable or grew up and telling lies or being deceitful

761
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: and treacherous to people was the way that he was raised,

762
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: and that's where he is. And we in the industry

763
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: and in the game, it's full of that, you know.

764
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: So like I said, like me, I had to start

765
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: to measure my my expectations because if I didn't, then

766
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: it is driving crazy. You want to you can't it

767
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: sound crazy on everything? Oh yeah, for sure. And one

768
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: of my biggest tasks. That's what I had to tell

769
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: big bro James. Right when we first started doing this ship.

770
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: You know, you get a lot of people that call you,

771
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: they bring up ideas and ship, you get excited, you

772
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: get ready, and the motherfucker's disappear. I was used to

773
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: that stuff me, you know, working for the publishing company

774
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: and just being management to being an industry. You know,

775
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: somebody tell me something, I don't get excited to the

776
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: check come and in some cases until that motherfucker clear,

777
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: because I don't got a bunch of bounce and the

778
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: ass checks before two. And this ship, you know what

779
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just ship. You know, it's like motherfucker's scheming

780
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: and ship. But you can't take it personal, bro, because

781
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: that's just what they were all else. And the moment

782

814
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,279

00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: up to what you thought that there was gonna be,

818
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's why mostique is the

971
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: compete with it as an artist, you know when he

972
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: talked about I'm with with the real Noriega. I'm you know,

975
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: kind of like overboard over the time. But that ain't

976
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: for you to judge. I'm just I'm playing this me

977
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: making my opinion. I ain't not gonna be success with that,

978
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: all right. Let me ask you all the question. Man,

979
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: Since rap being going on. Motherfucker's has been saying ship,

980
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: and everybody knew that you ain't living that life. Everybody

981
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: know you ain't working with Gandhi, you ain't never met

982
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: the motherfucker. Now there you go questions. So that means

983
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: a bird ass niked with an active imagination can But

984
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: this is the whole point. There's dudes who write books, right,

985
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: some dudes write fictional ship that ain't you whatever whatever,

986
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: And that's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. And

987
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: you have to break it down entertainments in the fucking

988
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: taming and that's what I'm saying, walk of life at

989
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: you come from. I'm talking to strip some real ship

990
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: to a nigga, you feel me. But other than that,

991
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: you have to take it for entertainment. I'm like entertaining

992
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: your fucking ask. And I can talk about it because

993
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: the real noriaga and I can talk about a hundred

994
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: key loos and dope and I could see what I

995
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: watched from them, served or whatever. But you have to

996
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: take it for what it is exactly. And that's why

997
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: I said that. What I said was to prove a

998
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 1: point because I actually with Rick Ross. Rick Ross makes

999
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: great music has great production everything, but at the end

1000
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: of the day, this ship is entertainment, so it's only

1001
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: gonna beat. Everybody do a little embellish and I think

1002
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: just because it's sounds flying, you know what I mean,

1003
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Like the nigger to say I had twenty bitches in

1004
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: the bed of my toes. You know what I mean,

1005
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna say he didn't like you don't know about

1006
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: every day get down. So how do you know I

1007
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: get now, Yeah, exactly, I don't know. I didn't know

1008
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: the real Noriaga. Hey man, I'm just saying you got

1009
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta keeps you know. I'm saying that this

1010
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: with this, with this show for it to get good

1011
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: things out of ship. You know, I mean, I ain't

1012
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: see anything. May No, did I sound disrespectful when I

1013
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: see it? Then no, I don't think it was disrespecting.

1014
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: But it's it go back to what I was saying before. Though,

1015
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: like for us, like us coming from where we come from,

1016
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of times we don't we don't detach the

1017
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: entertainment from the real life. We have to learn to

1018
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: do that. Like like it was just saying, like it's

1019
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: dudes that don't come from the lifestyle. But they're great artists.

1020
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: They're great writers, a lot of street niggs blay oh Man,

1021
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: and they ain't living that life. At some point, it

1022
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: don't even matter no more because it's just art. We

1023
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: gotta separate, We gotta separate our feelings for for what

1024
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: we what we think is real, you know, from from

1025
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: the actual movie and in the music is the movie

1026
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: like like he's like, they don't said stop taking ship personal.

1027
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: You fine, I don't because this nigga might have never

1028
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: sold a sack in his life, because I usually on

1029
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: the corner selling sacks. But I can't get mad because

1030
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: he's rapping about it. It's more funking money. Grew up

1031
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: in Sartos or some ship like that. It never touched

1032
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: the dumpe sack. But you know about it. You didn't

1033
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: heard about it, you know, watching up movies about it.

1034
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: He didn't cousin them, went to jail or some ship.

1035
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: So I feel like I got the authority to write

1036
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: about me selling sacks. And I think that's what most

1037
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,959
Speaker 1: artists get it from anyway, because it ain't been wrong

1038
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: with you know, if you don't have hardboys, you know,

1039
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 1: it's like this, I don't see it like, I'm pretty

Speaker 1: listen to certain rappers and get that flow. And because

1045
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:53,040

Speaker 1: authentic or not, or you're a real motherfucker, I don't know.

1067
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: That's to be judged by a lot of people. But

Speaker 1: I ain't got time to be fucking with your ship

1069
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: and trying to judge who you not. And then we

Speaker 1: I mean? When you're pocketing is what it is. It's entertainment, bro,

1075
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: it's entertainment. We we we we don't know how to

1076
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: detach you that outlook, because I got I got listening,

1077
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,560

1082
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: matter because the fans is not based on that. Life

00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 1: is not based on that, you know what I mean.

1084
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,560

1085
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: best they could tell it. It's like it's life. It's

1086
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: like a act of just's like putting on his suit

1087
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 1: and getting in the movie. Right, yeah, and the reality

1088
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: ever else though, the fans don't give a funk anywhere

1089
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: as long as that ship sound dope. Really they got

1090
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: a problem with it, then it's gonna be tested sometime,

1091
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: and then you see what happens when niggas got real.
