Speaker 1: Watch up and welcome back to another episode and no
Speaker 1: sellers podcast with your host. And I funk that with
Speaker 1: your low glasses, Malone. I don't believe there's no way
Speaker 1: possible pluck let's ten homies deal with me? Oh, no
Speaker 1: matter what the issue is, moon shady tone for mean man,
Speaker 1: it's no way I believe that. I don't think it
Speaker 1: would take ten of us to DP. Mike Tyson, see
Speaker 1: me at best five of us. That's the end of
Speaker 1: the DP. Mike Tyson, what's the deal? Tell me? Sir? Yeah,
Speaker 1: your room? So yeah, once you get the egg crate
Speaker 1: down to help your room and the bounce back. But
Speaker 1: I thought you weren't doing the show that I had
Speaker 1: my hand on the doorknob to go to lows. I'm
Speaker 1: with the target earlier and they don't sell those tastes.
Speaker 1: I was gonna get that, you know, divider deals and
Speaker 1: wrap it and then put the crate on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: didn't have room. So what you know about cripp and pete?
Speaker 1: And was like a vague question, right, what honestly do
Speaker 1: you feel you know about cripping? And what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like am I saying what context? I mean to as
Speaker 1: time sensitive as possible with the answer, Well, just just
Speaker 1: run down the things you feel you know about cripping
Speaker 1: at this point in time now over the years, because
Speaker 1: that kind of has changed. Like the first time I
Speaker 1: really was around cripts a lot was in Phoenix. Obviously,
Speaker 1: like they got some they got some serious cript guys down.
Speaker 1: They ain't playing, they do. But it's a lot different culture. Sure,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's is cripping mixed with you know, Arizona culture.
Speaker 1: So then Arizona has its own culture and then they
Speaker 1: mix it. But that's every every state in the country.
Speaker 1: You know, they take their city city, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So you'll see it's kind of like they're
Speaker 1: happened to be gangs and they happen to be called
Speaker 1: the Cripts there. It's how kind of more describe it? Well,
Speaker 1: it's more that's maybe I would say, like like if
Speaker 1: you were in Memphis like that, then you think they're
Speaker 1: all crips, Like that's the thing. It's just again their
Speaker 1: culture from where they're from tied into crippen. So what
Speaker 1: exactly I mean obviously you know crips right, um they
Speaker 1: wear blue right or crips say cause yeah, the spellings
Speaker 1: the bank to the left side, all the stuff, the
Speaker 1: blue and everything like that. The I know that in
Speaker 1: l A. You know, you kind of at least on
Speaker 1: the west side generally you got your neighborhoods and your gangsters,
Speaker 1: and you know, in theory you would assume that crypts
Speaker 1: are gonna bang his bloods all the time, but that
Speaker 1: it's not really how how it plays the album. Reality
Speaker 1: in real life much more practical. Um. Other than that,
Speaker 1: I would have saw him was just kind of like, hey, look,
Speaker 1: you made a decision to be a part of this.
Speaker 1: You in it now, You're gonna be in it here,
Speaker 1: You're gonna probably getting locked up, and it's gonna help
Speaker 1: you out when you're there. It's gonna help you out
Speaker 1: when you're here. Don't funk around. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: a maybe a Leslie Rigid Mafia or the way that
Speaker 1: Mafia turned out to be. Probably by the time the
Speaker 1: probably in a real time, by the time the Mafia
Speaker 1: got into the eighties, when cript really got started, they
Speaker 1: were probably both about fairly similar. You had duels that
Speaker 1: were rapping in the mafia, guys who're snitching and cripping
Speaker 1: and you know whatever else, and people about to switch families.
Speaker 1: I know what's his name, switched families, Sam in the Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think it was so so Cripps started in sixty
Speaker 1: nine mm right, um, it's created it to two brothers
Speaker 1: create product, and the most famous and credited brother is
Speaker 1: Raymond Washington. So they grew up in what area would
Speaker 1: be considered East Coast, like seventy six wise Worth, okay Um.
Speaker 1: They expanded to the West Side in seventy one, seventy two,
Speaker 1: seventy one, So that's how Tooky and all of the
Speaker 1: rest of the West Side cribs got involved. So that
Speaker 1: became spreading right. Um, when it did it? Like when
Speaker 1: it started? Was it just where the crips? And when
Speaker 1: did it become like East Coast crips or Broadways or
Speaker 1: her or main streets whoever it's like right over there.
Speaker 1: When did it start becoming like franchise so to speak?
Speaker 1: Seventy seventy three people started kind of breaking off doing
Speaker 1: their own little thing. Yet it wasn't as bad, but
Speaker 1: they started breaking off. I think it's seventy to seventy
Speaker 1: three because remember you have East Side cribs, right, and
Speaker 1: then you have West Side crips. So immediately that's the
Speaker 1: first break, and then Inglewood Crips and into play, and
Speaker 1: then Compton Crips came into play, so it was always
Speaker 1: Linwood Crips, you know, the pomberos Um, so it kind
Speaker 1: of already was separated, I mean, and then they start
Speaker 1: breaking down into even smaller factions obviously, which is how
Speaker 1: you got a trays different gangs. So in the seventies,
Speaker 1: like now, the last many years, as long as I've
Speaker 1: been able to you know, really be like in l
Speaker 1: A l A, like that's over a decade and a half.
Speaker 1: Probably there's a palpable difference between the east Side and
Speaker 1: the West Side just being there. So economics that it's
Speaker 1: mostly stemming from economics, for sure, and also I think
Speaker 1: economics doesn't affect that is affected by economics. But like
Speaker 1: some of those areas were actually physically constructed in different decades. Sure, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: as far as uh not really oh yeah yeah yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but I don't think that was havhing to
Speaker 1: do with They were both all constructed, both east Side
Speaker 1: and West Side. As far as where gangs, we were
Speaker 1: constructive before crips became a thing, for sure, but by
Speaker 1: sixty nine yeah, okay, but by the time that like
Speaker 1: Second in seventy one, per se wasn't as dramatic of
Speaker 1: a landscape change like or difference rather culturally as it
Speaker 1: is now. It's it got magnified or is it about
Speaker 1: always been the same? This has always been the same.
Speaker 1: The East Side is just you know, it's just different.
Speaker 1: The poverty is different. You know what we were allowed.
Speaker 1: It was kind of for us to be there earlier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, um, the projects wasn't
Speaker 1: made for black people. Black people just got into the
Speaker 1: projects obviously. You know the history because there's some interesting
Speaker 1: stories about that, like like the story of Dogtown projects,
Speaker 1: how there's so many black people rushed into the projects initially,
Speaker 1: uh in South at the pubbles Down and Dogtown. It
Speaker 1: was kind of the first one that wasn't deep deep,
Speaker 1: like we were the pink projects away up there that
Speaker 1: they just tore down mm hmm. And they actually the
Speaker 1: city actually said we're not gonna allow black people in
Speaker 1: these projects. It's just like which was to me, it
Speaker 1: was like it's wild. Yeah, but again it's just before
Speaker 1: the civil Rights law was passed and and also projects
Speaker 1: were built. Housing projects were built based around military and
Speaker 1: and as a housing place for military and ship like that.
Speaker 1: But we're kind of getting lost. The reason I was
Speaker 1: asking is right now, on the internet, there's this guy.
Speaker 1: He's like a cultural sensation. His name is c Mac
Speaker 1: crip mac um baby c Max, So that means he's
Speaker 1: the third c Mac of those guys. Right, So you
Speaker 1: have big little, So big is the is the first,
Speaker 1: Little is the second, Baby is the third tiny, So
Speaker 1: if it's a tiny c Mac, that's the fourth is
Speaker 1: the fifth c Mac, which would be the fifth version
Speaker 1: of whoever that name is. And they call the sixth one.
Speaker 1: Some people call him Embryo and some people say six.
Speaker 1: So it's a guy named Hoover. He calls himself Jack
Speaker 1: six because he's the sixth version of Jack. Right, So
Speaker 1: there's a guy his name is Baby c Mac c
Speaker 1: Mac crip mac, and he's from a gang called Rolling
Speaker 1: fifties Neighborhood five five crept small gang on the west side. Right. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because those gangs right are so it's a few of
Speaker 1: them right in that section, but they very much are
Speaker 1: a power gang. You know, they're not smarter, but they're
Speaker 1: they're really like, you know, they they've been representing their
Speaker 1: own section and holding it down like they're their fourth
Speaker 1: and not just some You're not gonna push those guys over.
Speaker 1: They do their stuff, but not very large. No no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not huge. It's it's fifty fIF street,
Speaker 1: a couple of streets right there. So people got a
Speaker 1: bar of him on the internet and the way, you know,
Speaker 1: culturally he spoke the way the fifty fifth street then speak,
Speaker 1: you know, um, changing every number into five and stay.
Speaker 1: Anything that feels like five as a word, they change
Speaker 1: it into a file. So instead of saying, uh, I'll
Speaker 1: give this to you, they say I'll give this to
Speaker 1: I'll give this five you. So instead of two, they'll
Speaker 1: say right so the game. So instead of saying you
Speaker 1: feel me, they'll say you five me? Right um. Instead
Speaker 1: of saying they say nickel. Anyways, it's just a complete
Speaker 1: cultural thing, you know. It's community like all of our
Speaker 1: communities have and are the neighborhood a pretty much every
Speaker 1: gang that's a rolling gang, pretty much every gang outside
Speaker 1: of the thirties that are rolling gang or neighborhood gangs
Speaker 1: for the most part, I can't stand by, but I
Speaker 1: know for sure the thirties are not a neighborhood gang.
Speaker 1: They're rolling gang still, So long story short, he takes
Speaker 1: the internet by storm, right, he's super super culturally phenomenal.
Speaker 1: You know. You hear him talk is get down, you know,
Speaker 1: and you could tell, like you know, he's been a
Speaker 1: part of the culture. Well recently, Um, things from his
Speaker 1: past started to come to forward, some things he was
Speaker 1: doing when he was younger, and they aren't very cool
Speaker 1: things to do, right, Um, as a gang member, right,
Speaker 1: snitching is the worst thing you could do, right, that's
Speaker 1: for sure, as any criminal, snitching is the worst thing
Speaker 1: you could do. The second thing that's pretty crappy is
Speaker 1: being a set hop Okay, like being form one set
Speaker 1: and then joining another set. That's like, actually, really, at
Speaker 1: least when I grew up, it was whack. That was
Speaker 1: the worst thing you want to be, I mean, and
Speaker 1: it would it would always be hard for you to
Speaker 1: have that same respect when I came into the game,
Speaker 1: to be a set up like you just really never
Speaker 1: would get the same respect. And those guys really have
Speaker 1: to go through a lot. Yeah, I mean, Um, long
Speaker 1: story short, this these things come from his past, and
Speaker 1: I don't know quite if he made his homies aware
Speaker 1: as a whole of what his past was. But arrival
Speaker 1: and different people from different communities started making his past
Speaker 1: you know, present to where everybody would know what was
Speaker 1: going on. And Mac, you know, I met Mac. He's
Speaker 1: a real He's a good dude, cool dude, and he's
Speaker 1: explaining himself on the Internet. He's like, Yo, this is
Speaker 1: what happened. And the explanations are like, you know, they're
Speaker 1: authentic to his experience, but they do sound crazy where
Speaker 1: it's like, damn long story short. So either between the
Speaker 1: fact that he was from another gang, whatever the reasons were,
Speaker 1: the shame itself resulted in his homies deeping what we
Speaker 1: call depeeing him, disciplining him. DP stands for discipline. Right,
Speaker 1: he has a video camera and and this is kind
Speaker 1: of my only concern from his perspective, because I really
Speaker 1: like him. My concern from his perspective right as an entertainer,
Speaker 1: as a content creator, is some of this ship you
Speaker 1: have to kind of leave in the streets. You can't
Speaker 1: bring every last thing. And he's on camera on his
Speaker 1: way to his neighborhood to get what we call a discipline.
Speaker 1: Um shows up no footage when he's leaving. He's back
Speaker 1: on camera. Now you can tell he's been in the fight,
Speaker 1: you know, severe that, like he's been in a real fight,
Speaker 1: and he's explaining the things to the fans or who
Speaker 1: we would call his fans at that point, and I'm
Speaker 1: just listening to the whole thing as it's happening, like wow,
Speaker 1: Like I wish he would have kept us off the
Speaker 1: net now for his career and optics that one or
Speaker 1: it was. I think it's great for his career, but
Speaker 1: it's bad for his community relations as far as a
Speaker 1: gang member. In my book, I didn't know which side
Speaker 1: you thought it was bad for great, it's great to
Speaker 1: do yourself to the general public. But and you think
Speaker 1: that did that well, I I think that was the
Speaker 1: first problem. Now I can't again, I'm not in the mix.
Speaker 1: So I don't know why his homeie said, hey, you
Speaker 1: need to come over here and run yours. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But what I can and say is I don't know
Speaker 1: if his homies discipline him if they were aware of
Speaker 1: this information. Okay, So I would like to believe his
Speaker 1: homies weren't aware of this information, and that's hence why
Speaker 1: you know the discipline procedures were called into effect. Um
Speaker 1: do you have a motory of that not being disciplined,
Speaker 1: But have you had to actively discipline people from your
Speaker 1: set over the years, are not really in your neighborhood
Speaker 1: once or twice? Yeah? Um? And and this is what
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about. This is where
Speaker 1: it gets crazy, right, because all of this kind of
Speaker 1: cultural stuff really don't have relevance to you. But this
Speaker 1: is where it can and this is where things come
Speaker 1: together at. So there's two things I want to talk
Speaker 1: about with you when it came to cripping in general. Right.
Speaker 1: The first thing is how he explain how the DP went. Right.
Speaker 1: He was saying he was so good with his hands.
Speaker 1: The first three or four guys that was disciplining him,
Speaker 1: he was, I guess getting the better of him. Right.
Speaker 1: So now I'm not gonna pretty much tell the general
Speaker 1: public you know, I was getting the better of my
Speaker 1: homies in a discipline or any situation. Right. I probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't tell my homies I'm getting the better of my
Speaker 1: friends in the discipline situation, right, because that's private information
Speaker 1: for me in my community. Yeah right. Um, But he's
Speaker 1: explaining it, and he's saying ten or more people was
Speaker 1: a part of the discipline that's not cool, like if
Speaker 1: ten or more of your homies are assaulting you. I've
Speaker 1: talked to a couple of o g s from the
Speaker 1: East Side, West Side, different gangs, and I realized I
Speaker 1: wasn't crazy. I don't know how much of friends we
Speaker 1: are because real gang bang is rooted and this is
Speaker 1: this is my second point. Real gang banging is rooted
Speaker 1: in you know, shared experiences with people you grew up with,
Speaker 1: right And it brings me to my next point, which
Speaker 1: was when somebody is a foreigner to your soil. We've
Speaker 1: talked about this. It's a really popular thing going on
Speaker 1: right now where people are driving twenty two eighty miles
Speaker 1: to join a gang in someone else's community that they
Speaker 1: didn't grow up in. So those two things stuck out
Speaker 1: to me with this whole particular situation. Yeah, is one
Speaker 1: how many people was involved with the discipline, with the
Speaker 1: with the assault, you know, and you're saying that and
Speaker 1: that he's coming out the internet. I'm saying, I'm harder
Speaker 1: than everybody from my hood. It took him tent or no,
Speaker 1: It definitely, it definitely can have that feel. It's not
Speaker 1: far to have that feel. I mean it definitely could
Speaker 1: have that feel. I don't quite know if that's what
Speaker 1: I got from it, but it does have a face
Speaker 1: kind of spinning, and I don't know if it's even
Speaker 1: safe face. But my issue is the fact when he
Speaker 1: said ten or more yeah, right, and right after he
Speaker 1: said this, immediately a video comes out that's not flattering
Speaker 1: to to to who he is. Right, So I think again,
Speaker 1: the internet is affecting the corner like it's got to
Speaker 1: be a different level of embarrassment. It has to be
Speaker 1: a different level of pressure to keep your reputation solid.
Speaker 1: But like I said, that, the ten or more people
Speaker 1: disciplining you, that's a lot. I don't think even when
Speaker 1: I was so this is my thing, right, And again
Speaker 1: it goes to my second point. I wasn't the greatest
Speaker 1: gang member. I didn't think I would even be good
Speaker 1: at gang banging dog at cripp and I didn't think
Speaker 1: I would be good at it because it seems like
Speaker 1: the people involved at times, they're not all the way there.
Speaker 1: That's how it seems. It's crazy because some of the
Speaker 1: people I know that are the most intelligent and brightest
Speaker 1: people are guys that I've either watched, you know, I
Speaker 1: grew up under or guys I grew up with. There's
Speaker 1: some really smart, intelligent people in the culture, right sore,
Speaker 1: Just so we're clear, how do you mean like the
Speaker 1: driveway don't go all the way to the garage? I
Speaker 1: know I know the reference, but do you mean like
Speaker 1: it's because people are high, or because they're just caught
Speaker 1: up in the moment, clouding the judgment, or like how
Speaker 1: how are you saying? So the thing about gang banging,
Speaker 1: right and cripping it, it's very accepting to anyone. It's
Speaker 1: harder to be a boy scout than it is to
Speaker 1: be a crypt. It's harder to to to be a
Speaker 1: boy scout than it is to be a crypt. Like
Speaker 1: gang banging is a very accepting culture. It will accept
Speaker 1: societies frowned upon, you know, with open arms, and make
Speaker 1: a place for you to thrive and have friends and
Speaker 1: family and respect and all of these different concepts you know,
Speaker 1: to be successful. That's something. But I wasn't the greatest
Speaker 1: cript growing up, Like I got caught it on probably
Speaker 1: two days before my sixteenth birthday. I just didn't really
Speaker 1: the niggas that courted me own right, they were niggas
Speaker 1: I've been known since I was a little kid. We
Speaker 1: probably was four or five years old. They're a couple
Speaker 1: of years older than me. But again, I didn't think
Speaker 1: I would be good at it. I didn't realize I
Speaker 1: would be good at it until I went to jail.
Speaker 1: That's when I knew I was gonna be just fine.
Speaker 1: But whenever I would have moments that weren't flattering to
Speaker 1: cripping or being a gangster, my homies didn't beat me
Speaker 1: up over it, right. They would take me and explain
Speaker 1: to me, hey man, this is how you gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Like I remember Moon, you know, my my older homie,
Speaker 1: Moon explaining to me why I had to fight people
Speaker 1: that was from the hood. I remember Pluck explaining to
Speaker 1: me why I had to shoot some people, making very
Speaker 1: logical sense. I remember different things where they you know, shady,
Speaker 1: you know, them bringing the best man out of me
Speaker 1: if I was gonna survive in the culture, right, bringing
Speaker 1: the greatest man out of me. They didn't kick my
Speaker 1: ass because I got it wrong. M hm. You know,
Speaker 1: long as I had to the basic bare minimums together.
Speaker 1: Do not tell the police on somebody else's don't implicate
Speaker 1: someone into a crime, don't inform the police on what
Speaker 1: you know about crimes, so things you know before you
Speaker 1: get involved. So again I think like even in that situation,
Speaker 1: it probably wasn't as bad as what happened. But it
Speaker 1: goes back to that second point. Someone's a foreigner to
Speaker 1: the soil. And I think the reason Moon and them
Speaker 1: did me a certain way in treating me like that
Speaker 1: is I've been seeing more since I was four years
Speaker 1: old driving by. I've been seeing plugs since I was
Speaker 1: five or six years old, shady since seven year As though,
Speaker 1: my homies that are you know, my generation, they came
Speaker 1: and we played in the yard together, we played basketball
Speaker 1: on the street. No I would say what's up to
Speaker 1: them when I'm walking to the store. Now we knew
Speaker 1: each other since kids. Um, the guys that are young now,
Speaker 1: this new generation, some of them were the first babies
Speaker 1: I ever held infant, Like my little humboy watch Boy
Speaker 1: Sun Troy is the second kid, you know, the second
Speaker 1: out of the wound kid I've ever held in my life.
Speaker 1: So even right now, if me and watch Boy disagree,
Speaker 1: that's my little man, because that is my guy. Now,
Speaker 1: this nigga grown ass cripes seven children then did everything
Speaker 1: he needed to do to get his respect. But no
Speaker 1: matter how I see him, I see him as this
Speaker 1: little baby. I held, this little dude I bought stuff
Speaker 1: from off the ice cream truck for. So the bond
Speaker 1: in in the in the in the pain in my
Speaker 1: heart when something happens to him is different, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's a real that's really my little brother.
Speaker 1: That's really my little nigga. Fill me no matter what,
Speaker 1: whether we disagree or not. And I would hope he
Speaker 1: has the same bond like Glasses is really my guy.
Speaker 1: Like we have the same bond for each other. Um,
Speaker 1: but I think it's because we really grew up together.
Speaker 1: When you listen to c mac as he tells this story, specifically,
Speaker 1: he's explaining, you know, living in Chino Hills, you know,
Speaker 1: somewhere to you know, when he became from Safeties somewhere
Speaker 1: after that he moved to Texas somewhere after that he
Speaker 1: was in Vegas, right, So we're talking about a guy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think he looks older because of you know,
Speaker 1: his habits what I'm saying, like his health habits like
Speaker 1: drinking or you know, I don't know because I don't
Speaker 1: know what, because dude, I know you drank Old English
Speaker 1: and I know for sure old English age your ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well, I mean the older. It's a relative term.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean he's not. I think he's a lot
Speaker 1: closer to to turn in thirty then turning forty. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But like for a guy who's like rap career is
Speaker 1: kind of young, like a lot of guys whose rap
Speaker 1: careers are kind of young can be themselves kind of young.
Speaker 1: Like you know, I think Mac is probably anywhere between
Speaker 1: twenty eight and thirty, right, um, But anyway, I think
Speaker 1: that's the problem, and I think that's what's wrong with
Speaker 1: gang banging and cripping now. Is the reason snitching is
Speaker 1: at all time high, this madness is at all time high.
Speaker 1: Is these guys don't know each other. They didn't grow
Speaker 1: up next door neighbors. They didn't play where they were
Speaker 1: five and six years old. They didn't shoot marbles with
Speaker 1: each other. They didn't walk to the store and people
Speaker 1: gave them ship because they were from this community together.
Speaker 1: Like before I was ever from the seven, I was
Speaker 1: from the seventh. Whenever I went to my pop's house
Speaker 1: on the weekend that Thursday and we go, you know,
Speaker 1: I catched the bus to my dad house and we're there.
Speaker 1: We walking to school Friday, and we're hanging out Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 1: Monday and all that. You from the seven. If you
Speaker 1: go to Mona Park for me and you went, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm with Little j and I'm with Motto Rest His Soul.
Speaker 1: And I'm with Shawny Wanni and I'm with fifty you
Speaker 1: know the hummies. Oh that's them little boys from off
Speaker 1: Hunter Set Street, Day from the seven. So even if
Speaker 1: all of us wasn't quite corded in or activated as
Speaker 1: far as gang banging goals, we were all from a
Speaker 1: hundred and sevent t street. If I'm walking with Ron
Speaker 1: Ron and and and and I'm sorry, I'm just naming
Speaker 1: like name the childhood names. Ron Ron, if I'm walking
Speaker 1: with the Wine, if I'm walking with Russ, if I'm
Speaker 1: walking with Day you know slow Polke. If I'm walking
Speaker 1: with those guys and we're going to the Pink Store
Speaker 1: and Imperial you know Courts Housing Project. Oh that's some
Speaker 1: boys from off the seven. Culturally, you are from. Where
Speaker 1: you're from has nothing to do with violence, has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with crime. Culturally, everybody identifies your community. You're
Speaker 1: from that and you are that community. The gang part
Speaker 1: just becomes the military part of it, the infantry part
Speaker 1: of it, or the economic part of it. You know,
Speaker 1: when you become from the gang. It's people that's from
Speaker 1: the seven right from a hundred to seventy Street that
Speaker 1: are not a part of the gang, but the culturally
Speaker 1: from a hundred and seventy Street, and they are proud
Speaker 1: of it, and they let you know and you recognize it.
Speaker 1: But that don't mean they are corded in and activated
Speaker 1: in the military part of it. They're not a part
Speaker 1: of the early part of it per se, but they
Speaker 1: are very much from the community. So it's very And
Speaker 1: this is weird because this is weird coming from me
Speaker 1: because culturally I grew up in Compton and Watts pretty
Speaker 1: much as many days a week m hmm. So even
Speaker 1: though I grew up, you know, at my mom's house,
Speaker 1: we grew up in the Richland forms. I've never claimed
Speaker 1: Forum Dog, I've never claimed Occasion Block. But culturally those
Speaker 1: are my friends, and should I would do things to
Speaker 1: you over my friends. But again, it's it's just a
Speaker 1: weird situation to me, man, where it's like I think
Speaker 1: these things are happening in gangs. Now I was not
Speaker 1: not just the pressure, not just don't steal my name,
Speaker 1: still don't steal my name. I am the honorable Glasses Malone.
Speaker 1: You see this fro, you probably have to start calling
Speaker 1: me brother g man from now My face looked hello, big,
Speaker 1: don't it camera, Honorable Glasses Malone. Let me see there's
Speaker 1: two stand out to me here with this fro. You
Speaker 1: might have to start calling me brother ge Okay, I
Speaker 1: look like Cassius Clay and sixty six. Who is that
Speaker 1: doing the back step? I look like Stefan? Yeah, we
Speaker 1: hear you. Stephan? What's that the man? What's that? Chris?
Speaker 1: I don't know who that was. I think it was
Speaker 1: Stepan because he was kind of bigger than Chris. Chris
Speaker 1: Leanard and that so long story short, um, long story short.
Speaker 1: M hmm. I think that's what's wrong with gangbanging with cripping, right,
Speaker 1: and this is we're watching a situation play out publicly
Speaker 1: in front of the world, and all of the things
Speaker 1: that were my fear as gangbanging is evolving or devolving
Speaker 1: into where it is now, right mm hmm. Every time
Speaker 1: you pull the slip is starting to show. There's two
Speaker 1: things that stand out to me with this situation, one
Speaker 1: of them being like, this guy is like the spokesperson
Speaker 1: and the spokesmodel for that hood, you know, honestly in
Speaker 1: today's society, not even for that hood. Mac is like
Speaker 1: the spokesmodel for cripping, you know, as far social media
Speaker 1: is concerned. Mac see makes a popular crip, you know,
Speaker 1: as far as social media and and that content is concerned.
Speaker 1: So he represents a lot more than just five five,
Speaker 1: Which is why I can understand if the five five
Speaker 1: discipline him right because of embarrassment of what is going
Speaker 1: on and they were not made aware of, you know,
Speaker 1: his past indiscretions, because now and then then he's explaining
Speaker 1: it too. He's explaining it to society before they're being informed.
Speaker 1: I hope that's not the case. Are you ready, big bro?
Speaker 1: Are you trying to come back? So those two things right, like, um,
Speaker 1: how your homies is handling you and why they are
Speaker 1: handling you this way? I don't think it's no way
Speaker 1: Tick Tack allows ten. You know my homie Boom you
Speaker 1: met Booe ones there. I don't believe there's no way
Speaker 1: possible Boo would allow ten homies feel me to to
Speaker 1: deal with me in any true capacity. I don't believe
Speaker 1: there's no way possible, pluck, let's ten homies deal with
Speaker 1: me on no matter what the issue is, moon shady
Speaker 1: tone for mean man, it's no way. I believe that.
Speaker 1: I don't believe there's no And those are my older homies.
Speaker 1: I don't believe there's no way, Little Jay, you know
Speaker 1: fifty the guys are my generation or even like Royn
Speaker 1: Royn or slow Poke or Russ. I don't believe there's
Speaker 1: no way they let ten homies handle me. I think that,
Speaker 1: but then the culture would know that's inappropriate. Ten and significance,
Speaker 1: like touching up like that by ten is not a
Speaker 1: significant touch and no up. Ten men, you were not friends, bro.
Speaker 1: That sounds like we're asking you to leave. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not friends no more. That's a lot like ten men.
Speaker 1: I got a homie name, Big Two. I got a
Speaker 1: homie name, Big two, Big Tools on death Row. Big
Speaker 1: Tools a real solid crap, just so sick nigger. But
Speaker 1: that's the o G hommy. I got love for cause.
Speaker 1: But Big two is six fucking five close to six
Speaker 1: six right six five close to six six four hundred pounds,
Speaker 1: And I don't think they would allow ten of us
Speaker 1: to get at him. Yeah, And that's my point, Pete,
Speaker 1: it's how are we friends if you allow ten men
Speaker 1: to deal with me period for anything? Yeah, I Almo,
Speaker 1: sounds like a prison gang hit ten. I mean that's
Speaker 1: so fund do you need ten holmies. I don't think
Speaker 1: it would take ten of us to DP Mike Tyson. No,
Speaker 1: you only have two hands see me, at best five
Speaker 1: of them. That's the DP Mike Tyson exactly when he
Speaker 1: says I got the better of the first three or four.
Speaker 1: What are you like Jean Claude van dam in a
Speaker 1: scription movie? And again like you and again I think
Speaker 1: five or six of us could DP Tyson Fury. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so because you could only only sony people can even
Speaker 1: get in front of you. Half of are gonna be
Speaker 1: hitting you in the back, exactly in the back of
Speaker 1: the hand. So for ten men to hold to punish him,
Speaker 1: I don't think you don't like me, So it's virtually impossible.
Speaker 1: And I verified it with some the hommies from different communities.
Speaker 1: A couple of jomies says, a couple of gummy from
Speaker 1: the hoods for content ji niggas, And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: when I asked my hommie, I asked, pluck, I save
Speaker 1: me you and that ten niggas talk about me like
Speaker 1: hell no, I'm like And I thought about why welcome
Speaker 1: my big brother podcast extraordinaire music exactly extraordinary God from yesterday,
Speaker 1: big motherfucking still, what's going on? Fellas? What's going on? Fellas?
Speaker 1: That seemed like y'all got a real profound conversation going on. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just it just took a notch up jazz anyway. So
Speaker 1: I was explaining to Pete. I was explaining to Pete,
Speaker 1: um what what like I was. I was getting him
Speaker 1: up to speed on who Baby crypt Mac was, Baby
Speaker 1: c Mac is, And I was explaining to him, you know,
Speaker 1: without all the extra details of what exactly went wrong,
Speaker 1: but his homies feeling, you know, his homies feeling like
Speaker 1: he did something incorrect, you know, in the line of
Speaker 1: representing fifty fifty and how they decided to you know,
Speaker 1: discipline him. And I was explaining him that The reason
Speaker 1: I know is because babyc Mac was explaining it right
Speaker 1: after the discipline and he was saying it was ten
Speaker 1: or more people, and I was explaining the peak about cripping,
Speaker 1: right is there's two things that are starting to worry
Speaker 1: me today. Right. The two things are one, how you
Speaker 1: treat the people from your community, Like, why the fuck
Speaker 1: would it take ten people to discipline one homie? And
Speaker 1: I was explaining the peat it wouldn't take six of
Speaker 1: us to discipline the heavyweight champion of the world. No. Actually,
Speaker 1: at some point when you whenever you're in some kind
Speaker 1: of metlate that more people there are jumping on one personally,
Speaker 1: you just yeah, it's just it's a Bumble's not enough
Speaker 1: surface area at that point, you're just covering up. There
Speaker 1: ain't enough places to hit. Like, six of us could
Speaker 1: dp Tyson Fury. Six seven street niggas for sure could
Speaker 1: discipline Tyson. We would beat the ship out of Tyson Fury. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the heavyweight champion wouldn't land a couple
Speaker 1: of good shots when it starts, we'll see. The thing is,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about someone with that level of skill,
Speaker 1: don't he's gonna take out a couple of people. No,
Speaker 1: he's not. He's gonna drop some people and he's gonna
Speaker 1: get itself hurt. Yeah, it's gonna be a couple of
Speaker 1: people get knocked out nobody's gonna get knocked out. They're
Speaker 1: gonna get dropped, right, They're gonna get dropped. The problem
Speaker 1: is when the niggas behind you start hitting you, and
Speaker 1: then the niggas get up because this is something we're
Speaker 1: used to, they're gonna That's the thing about the gang
Speaker 1: Bang world never understood. That's why when I came to
Speaker 1: first came to California and people were talking about, Hey,
Speaker 1: we want you to be from our neighborhood, and they
Speaker 1: was getting at me and stuff I've never costand the
Speaker 1: idea of some man trying to throw on this stuff,
Speaker 1: go discipline me, Well, it's not. It's not. You go
Speaker 1: to jail. The judge discipline you all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to jail. I'll never go do no crime.
Speaker 1: She I'm never doing no type. You already give got
Speaker 1: away with it because all it takes the judge in
Speaker 1: the court room. Who do you think you think you is?
Speaker 1: Just because I'm America, don't mean you could discipline me.
Speaker 1: See that's different because you're talking about the court of law.
Speaker 1: We have rules in society that rules. No, not that,
Speaker 1: because they're just rules that we have for our society.
Speaker 1: If we didn't have. We have chaos that we didn't
Speaker 1: have those rules. Same thing in the hood, we have
Speaker 1: rules without it. In the neighborhood, we have chaos. So
Speaker 1: that's what you need discipline to enforce the rules. Otherwise
Speaker 1: they're just platifs. So you you you're saying, like what
Speaker 1: we do or like what the community I'm from is
Speaker 1: different than the United States of America or California or
Speaker 1: any other place. It's the same exact thing. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: gangbanging in this self and cheat has rules of his
Speaker 1: own that no one on the outside would ever understand.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think everybody understand every rule.
Speaker 1: I think a snitch at the highest level in America,
Speaker 1: it's called a motherfucking spy. Well, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know who baby c mcils. That's the that's the kid
Speaker 1: that's been going around online and on gaining some popularity online, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: really funny dude, Yeah, he's a funny guy. Um. You know.
Speaker 1: The thing is with this whole internet thing, though, I
Speaker 1: can see why gang bangers would have a problem with that,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't I don't think they had
Speaker 1: a problem. Still, I don't think the problem was him
Speaker 1: being on the internet. I think certain real aspects. Now,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. I'm still ignorant because I haven't
Speaker 1: asked him five five, like, oh, what exactly was the discipline?
Speaker 1: For all we saw was his past unfold. Next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, he's telling us and I'm going to the
Speaker 1: hood to get disciplined. So I would like to believe
Speaker 1: the number one thing is they were not aware of
Speaker 1: his past transgressions. What do you do? See how I'm
Speaker 1: not you know, I don't go online. He's a story
Speaker 1: and mean it's weird because okay, so I'll explain it
Speaker 1: to you from an American point of view to where
Speaker 1: you can understand it. Right, Um, he was the citizen
Speaker 1: of another country, okay, and he came over here right
Speaker 1: without declaring that he was a citizen from Russia. Right.
Speaker 1: He he came and joined this country without informing his
Speaker 1: friends that he was a citizen of another country or
Speaker 1: in another military. So he was flipped lopping what they
Speaker 1: call the set hopping. Right, and then also right that
Speaker 1: actual military kicked him out. Oh so he's not from
Speaker 1: that unit no more. No, no, the first military he
Speaker 1: was a part of. Say, so he got put off
Speaker 1: set pretty much. He got put off. So what it
Speaker 1: was was he was from six oh, and whatever happened,
Speaker 1: they decided that he was not qualified, and they put
Speaker 1: him off six oh. They cord him off. Multiple men,
Speaker 1: you know, physically assaulted him. And this bar and and
Speaker 1: this barred him from said community. And and and also
Speaker 1: he has a Facebook page. And on his Facebook page,
Speaker 1: you know he is and this is old. This is
Speaker 1: roughly ten years ago, ten nine years ago, he's pretty
Speaker 1: much claiming and posting and acting like he's from the
Speaker 1: rival gang of the gang he's from now. So there
Speaker 1: was maybe a post to where he was saying, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, this is Hoover. You know, he's a killer,
Speaker 1: neighborhood killer, I'm from Hoover. And then he was posting
Speaker 1: and supporting gangster crips, right, which he's a five five
Speaker 1: neighborhood crip. He seems like he's kind of loss a
Speaker 1: little bit, yes, right, ten years a little loss. And
Speaker 1: that's the thing, you know, you know, I would lible
Speaker 1: to have a conversation with him, gee, because see we
Speaker 1: got a couple of things that have played here, right,
Speaker 1: And I've always thought this about him. I thought he
Speaker 1: was a funny guy. I thought he had a lot
Speaker 1: of you know, careers, mother, he's funny, um, but I
Speaker 1: think we have to look at some point he may
Speaker 1: have some mental issues, bro, because that's not never then
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that because people are
Speaker 1: saying that, and he's the he's vehemediately declined that that's
Speaker 1: not what's going on. He's obviously it is. You know that.
Speaker 1: The thing is I can't say obviously, yeah he does.
Speaker 1: He wants to belong from somewhere. He wants to belong,
Speaker 1: seems like and again, get into the and and and
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the depth of why
Speaker 1: that is right, which well, no, I take that back,
Speaker 1: Yes I do, but maybe but this but this is why,
Speaker 1: and this is the point I'm saying. Right, So my
Speaker 1: first issue with the whole scenario is how many men
Speaker 1: it took to carry out his discipline. You don't look
Speaker 1: like he's the most menacine guy in the world either, No,
Speaker 1: but but again, that that's a whole eno. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know what menace look like, but you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, menacine looked like like he's not I
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know, like me, I could be
Speaker 1: considered menacing. You could be considered menacine. Pete not so menacine.
Speaker 1: And that's the mistake because white people historically have killed
Speaker 1: everybody steep listening. I didn't say just because a person
Speaker 1: looks menacine necessarily meaning so you could. I've seen guys
Speaker 1: that look like they're the most meek and humble people
Speaker 1: on the planet and they don't put in some mad work.
Speaker 1: I think the white man always looked menacing. Yeah, first, well,
Speaker 1: Pete is the white man, so he can do a
Speaker 1: lot of things that we keep. Don't off at the
Speaker 1: meat market, poison all the meat they want. They're gonna
Speaker 1: figure out. But that's not the point. Y'll throw me
Speaker 1: off my point. God damn still focused. So what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is my issue is now I'm questioning his true friendship,
Speaker 1: because that's all gangmanging is, truly, truly built off of
Speaker 1: your friends, right. I just don't. I'm gonna tell you this.
Speaker 1: I love you like a brother, bro, but if you
Speaker 1: send ten people with my ask, we wouldn't be friends, don't.
Speaker 1: I would hold so like I had to call Pluck.
Speaker 1: I said, Pluck, would you allowed ten hommies like, Nah,
Speaker 1: the fucking mean, why would I take ten hommies? Right,
Speaker 1: So that's my first issue, right, so now I'm questioning.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about how you and your community see each other,
Speaker 1: How Max see the five five, and how the five
Speaker 1: five s Mac. Well, I could see him not prolling.
Speaker 1: He's pro get kicked off there set too, and this
Speaker 1: is this is a concerning thought quoted off. But then
Speaker 1: even at the end of the video, they're saying he's
Speaker 1: still from the hood. Now again, this is me taking c.
Speaker 1: Mac at his word because it might not have been
Speaker 1: ten people, it could have been five people. He was
Speaker 1: just getting spun in the circle. Well, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: after that whooping, he's not telling them more lives, right, So,
Speaker 1: but he didn't tell lives before that's the point he
Speaker 1: came out. I wish he didn't say ship personally, I
Speaker 1: wish he would have, just because I would have looked
Speaker 1: at in them like, oh, they just don't like him
Speaker 1: and making this up. But once he came out and
Speaker 1: you know, as people say, kept it real feel me
Speaker 1: it just sound on the crazy, which I understand. At
Speaker 1: that point they were like his his his his community
Speaker 1: was pressured to react because now, so you have people
Speaker 1: explaining to the general public about the member this member
Speaker 1: of your community, then you have your the member of
Speaker 1: your community explaining to the general public the community itself
Speaker 1: has been kept in the dark. So now they're like,
Speaker 1: what the funk? So, you know, maybe if they were aware,
Speaker 1: they would have put pressure, like, yo, you can't be
Speaker 1: the mascot of sad community if all of these things
Speaker 1: are on your rap sheet, on your on your you know,
Speaker 1: on your thug in rap sheet. Like maybe that's the conversation.
Speaker 1: But whatever it was, it was rooted in the fact
Speaker 1: that they were embarrassed in shame. Right, so roughly so
Speaker 1: rightfully so right. So that's the first thing, right, is
Speaker 1: how many men it took to carry out the discipline.
Speaker 1: That don't make me feel like we're homies. It probably
Speaker 1: was a lot of people that wanted to be involved
Speaker 1: in the act the pass he discipline. And when I
Speaker 1: asked Pluck or I asked bull about it, I asked
Speaker 1: my older homies. You know, book got the bike shop.
Speaker 1: He said, hell, no, why the funk will we do that?
Speaker 1: And he was like, and it hit me that I've
Speaker 1: been knowing these brothers since I was a little kid.
Speaker 1: So again, our buying and connection is different to why
Speaker 1: the funk would they want to allow ten people to
Speaker 1: assupt metribution? Yeah, you gotta. You gotta remember you are
Speaker 1: really from your neighborhood. Have you've been over that since
Speaker 1: you were a little kid? Right, So they have a
Speaker 1: certain amount of love and admiration for you. Obviously, this guy,
Speaker 1: he's came from over here, then he was over here.
Speaker 1: Then he's got fake faith, making fake Facebook posts about
Speaker 1: from here, you know. So it's like he has some
Speaker 1: issues and they which brings me to my second point
Speaker 1: on this cripping, right, which is what I was saying.
Speaker 1: When you are foreign to the soil, it's the way
Speaker 1: they treat you. It's a way you're asked to do
Speaker 1: things at times that are unreasonable and I don't quite understand.
Speaker 1: Like I met two young dudes that lived in Antelope Valley, right.
Speaker 1: I was meeting up with one of my partners from
Speaker 1: the East Coast, just having a conversation with him, and
Speaker 1: he was telling me that these two people are from
Speaker 1: p J Wats, these two young boys out from p
Speaker 1: J Watts. And I was like, okay, cool, and I
Speaker 1: was like, damn man, how long y'all been out here,
Speaker 1: you know, when y'all moved from the city. They said, now,
Speaker 1: we never lived in the city. I'm like, you never
Speaker 1: lived in Watching was like, no, we lived out here
Speaker 1: a whole life. And they explain to me how somebody
Speaker 1: they knew that's from Imperial Court Housing Projects moved out
Speaker 1: there and they decided they wanted to join said community, right,
Speaker 1: But so they drove the seventy miles from Antelope Valley
Speaker 1: to the Imperial Housing the Imperial Course Housing Project and
Speaker 1: allowed strangers to beat them up to be a part
Speaker 1: of the community. And it hit me. I was thinking
Speaker 1: to myself when I was laying in the bed the
Speaker 1: night after I met them, how do you go and
Speaker 1: attack someone else's community if you didn't grow up with like,
Speaker 1: what's your true motivation to defend this community? Can I
Speaker 1: say something real quick, ge please? When I first came
Speaker 1: to California, it was and that's when gang banging was
Speaker 1: like kind of full throttle. It was a lot different
Speaker 1: than it was now. You know, people were really gang banging.
Speaker 1: You would see a guy walking down the street Long
Speaker 1: Beach with the whole penaltence to you know, with a
Speaker 1: whole you know, with the whole blue rag pretty much
Speaker 1: during around this whole body. So when I got people,
Speaker 1: you know what I was hanging out with, it may
Speaker 1: have been hustling with. They started saying, we go thank
Speaker 1: you from the hood, we go do this and do that.
Speaker 1: Always started it like that, I'm from a hundred and
Speaker 1: five and sior superior. I don't have no familiarity with
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. I don't have no love for your neighborhood.
Speaker 1: So how can I really go out of the care
Speaker 1: of your manner so to speak? You see what I'm
Speaker 1: saying through Even even then, I understand it, right because
Speaker 1: now you live It's like if you become a city.
Speaker 1: It's like if you lived in Mexico your whole life,
Speaker 1: but then you moved to American you become a citizen
Speaker 1: of sad community, right, and then they're like, oh man,
Speaker 1: you live here. You take an advantage of the benefits. Right,
Speaker 1: you need to problem. You should be a part of
Speaker 1: the infantry in the military, like, so you know you
Speaker 1: can fight for these rights that were You know, we're
Speaker 1: protecting the territory to the areas, the way of life
Speaker 1: we have. You know, you have to fight. The thing
Speaker 1: is like a franchise. To me, it's like if you
Speaker 1: get a job when you working in and out Burger
Speaker 1: and Sanbrada, they still send you to the original in
Speaker 1: and out corporate headquarters for training. Yeah, but then you
Speaker 1: still come back and you work at a Burger king
Speaker 1: in some other place. The problem is there is no
Speaker 1: We're still not in but you still listen. I'll give
Speaker 1: you a perfect comparison to that. So in Watts right,
Speaker 1: there's front Street. Watch my boy, bang loosers from front street. Watch.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of niggas from front streets. Solid
Speaker 1: niggas from front Street. Right, Front Street wash crip. In Pacoima,
Speaker 1: there's an area called valley fronts right the valley Valley
Speaker 1: Frustrates crips in Pacoima, in the valley lights right, noble Lanes.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're quite the same. I think
Speaker 1: they are, but that's different. But here's another one. Um.
Speaker 1: So just like you have the front streets in the valley,
Speaker 1: you have the front streets and watch right. So you
Speaker 1: can come to the city and actually, you know, get
Speaker 1: trained and you take your ship back to the valley,
Speaker 1: or you could just be in the valley and be
Speaker 1: a Front Street and it's a connection. They have the
Speaker 1: same thing with the ain't that's based out of Inglewood,
Speaker 1: right or I don't know if they we can say
Speaker 1: that south Central Watergate crips right in Santa Ana, they
Speaker 1: have Watergate crips fear me, and they are connected. The
Speaker 1: problem with the comparing the franchise to this is in
Speaker 1: Antelope Valley there is no Imperial you know, there's no
Speaker 1: Imperial Course housing projects, there is no PJ cript neighborhood
Speaker 1: to work out at the franchise. So it's like you
Speaker 1: just went to some burger place and got trained and
Speaker 1: just it's not like I say, like the guy from
Speaker 1: pj's moved to this location and now he like took
Speaker 1: over these blocks and they're just oka. He lives in Antelope.
Speaker 1: You can point to an area and he didn't colonize
Speaker 1: some foreign place. They just liked his get down. It
Speaker 1: was like, okay, we wanna be friends. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: ship was weird. And again I think those things happen
Speaker 1: when you are foreign to the soil, like you could
Speaker 1: have been like he could have been from that area
Speaker 1: from you know, for five or six years, maybe seven years.
Speaker 1: The problem is there is no true vested interest in
Speaker 1: your existence, right, because my homies no my dad, they
Speaker 1: knew my mom rest her, so they knew my older brothers,
Speaker 1: they know my stepmother, they knew my family. They've been
Speaker 1: me since I was a kid. So it's that even now,
Speaker 1: Like if if if wasts boy right, who was my
Speaker 1: love homie, if he comes to me he's like, I
Speaker 1: need a gun. You know, when we first came to
Speaker 1: me talking about needing a pistol, I'm thinking, like, Nick,
Speaker 1: I know your daddy and your uncle. They raised me.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I remember going to his uncle
Speaker 1: to get a gun, and his uncle told me, who
Speaker 1: was my big homie pluck, said you better go steal
Speaker 1: your first gun like I stole mines. So I told
Speaker 1: my homie, I said, look, nigga, here's a hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: A gun costs two hundred. You need another hundry and
Speaker 1: go buy your own fucking gun. Because I'm thinking, literally,
Speaker 1: I know this nigga's mama, yeah, and that's what this
Speaker 1: fucking gun. You're gonna do this fucking guns. Yeah. Now
Speaker 1: your mom is sad, Now your daddy is sad, Now
Speaker 1: your uncle sat and don't get me wrong. I had
Speaker 1: to think like, well, damn, what if he don't have
Speaker 1: the gun and he needed and he died. Well, you
Speaker 1: gotta make a choice. So once you sign up for
Speaker 1: this ship, also got to be willing to be accountable
Speaker 1: and find your own. Then none of my older homies
Speaker 1: give me no damn gun until they realized I was
Speaker 1: using guns. Well, you know, g The thing is this, right,
Speaker 1: a game seems to me. I've been in California long
Speaker 1: enough to where I can't speak on certain stuff. Some
Speaker 1: stuff I don't speak on because I'm not and even
Speaker 1: in Ohio, yeah for real. So it's like it's some
Speaker 1: stuff I don't speak on about the actual infrastructure of
Speaker 1: gangs because I'm not. That's not my place. I stay
Speaker 1: in pocket. Right. The thing is with games always seem
Speaker 1: to me that was like family, Like you know, me
Speaker 1: coming out here always touched down the Long Beach first,
