WEBVTT - Conversations About Flexin' 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.360 Watch up and welcome back to another episode and No 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.520 Sillers podcast with your host. Now funk that with your 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:16.680 low glasses, Malone. But that that's my Roscoes. I've been 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:18.959 going there my whole life, Like I've been to that 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.720 Roscoe somewhere a hundred to two hundred times. Like I 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:23.880 know that Roscoe is like a motherfucker. I know niggas 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.239 in that community from both sides of that community, all 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:32.080 around you. But I'm saying I wouldn't walk in that 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.199 motherfucker with two huntre thousand dollar or looking like two 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.080 hundre in thousand dollar worth of jewelry. I'm not walking 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.640 to that motherfucker with a rolesque. That's buzz damn. Why 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.040 why did he It's something I just don't see him. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.400 I don't know because I don't know the man personally. 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.680 But what made him feel like there's a there's five 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.519 other Roscoe's right, four of the Roscoe. What made him 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.360 feel like, Okay, I'm about to go over here on 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:01.080 the east side and go eat over here. So this 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.160 is hip hop takes a lot of you know, dash 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.080 from everybody. Drill music, really, jail music is a death culture. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:13.080 Is not drill music. It's war. Stories is propaganda for communities, right, 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.000 like like a like a song that you want people 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.639 to join the military propaganda or as war. You're bragging 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.560 about surviving and doing whatever it takes to survive. Trenches. 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.400 That's why they use trenches. That's why they say, oh, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.960 those are military words. They're at war. So it's nothing 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.160 about death. It's about surviving and doing whatever you gotta 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.360 do to make sure these people don't kill you, staying 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.479 on the offensive so they don't kill you. It's not 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.760 like like drill music is not like um, you know gazy. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.880 It's like a murder a six year old kid. And 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.520 that's the thing. That's not what it's about. It's about surviving. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.920 So when you hear rappers talking about killing somebody, they're 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.640 really explaining to you they're surviving something else and this 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.120 is how they did with that to do to an 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.640 enemy that was threatening their lives or their friends life 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.760 or took their friends life. That's how it works. It's war. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.120 So I hear a lot of things that hip I have 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.120 have started all drugs that nothing to do with us. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.080 I mean, the sweetest taboo by Shot is about drugs. 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:12.000 Hotel caateforias about drugs, Tamboo, it's about drugs. He one 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:22.720 for years in England, Like she was like real hero 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.560 on that it that's the that's the addiction. So hotel. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.519 So this existed, like songs like Waki Ship, all these 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.080 songs existing. Damn. I will tell you this, Like we 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.480 take a lot of slack and hip hop about toxic culture. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.760 The one toxic culture I will credit hip hop with 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.200 and say, this is a toxic culture and the only 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:51.200 is flexing or stunting. That's the one toxic thing that 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.480 we do. To the point now where rappers who come 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.440 from poor communities are saying they don't like broke people, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.480 but you came from it. You came from broke. Yeah 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.600 you know what I'm saying, So can go broke like 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.679 John Yeah, Like we talked about broke people, like we 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.040 come from poor communities and we talked about poor people 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.360 that ship. It's crazy. And so a stunt, right is 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.520 like you take something to a community that can threaten 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.160 your life for doing it there, for showing off this 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.280 kind of situation, for taking this four hundred thousand dollar 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.919 car into a community with fifty dollar houses. That's stunning 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.760 because it could cost you your life going to Rosco's 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.520 with what looks like two hundred thousand dollar journey in 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.000 the community. Were later on you could say, I went 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.400 to this community and nigga's and take my jury. Niggas 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:44.240 did nothing. Yeah, this is the only true toxic culture 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.440 in hip hop. Flexing and stunning, and we are literally 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.960 stunning on our people, on the people because the white 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.920 millionaires that they were the same genes for seven days 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.880 in a row. Um that button up and you know 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.040 what I'm saying them them them funked up as Um. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.440 You know, Chuck Taylor's are fucking vans. They do that, 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.640 that's them, you know what I mean. They don't care 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.360 about fashion, they don't care about jury, they don't care 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.600 about what we care about. They're not trying to show 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:16.040 you they God ain't too busy. So we sell wealth 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.240 to tell people to follow us because we know they're poor. 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.520 It's a trick we do to them. All of these 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.520 people that you say worth a billion doledge and that's insurance. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.680 They're not worth a billion to themselves. They worth a 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.520 billion if to other people. Know what I'm saying, Like, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.600 and it's a reality of it. And I don't want 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.320 to get to because I don't want to condemn what 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.520 the brothers is doing. They all really that's Donald Trump played. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.520 Donald Trump started selling wealth that I remember in our community. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.679 He was the first god remember in our community selling wealth. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.520 Donald Trump was only black people celebrated people Donald Trump 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.760 for I forget the Donald Trump, but Donald Trump was 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.440 literally a black icon. He probably did open like six times. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.560 That was her dog. So you fast forward today and 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.080 you got a bunch of bullshit. It ain't changed. Like 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.080 niggas love Donald Trump. Every rapper Jez was Donald Trump 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.960 and the white tea and white ones for me, like 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.840 by that same standard, Rocket Feller was a racist man. 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.000 You unders saying, so we have we're trying to sell well, 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.239 I get it. I mean we were trying to project 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.840 ourselves into another space by saying we have it. Fake 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.680 it till you make it right. But the problem is 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.080 when you really think about it, all you're doing it's 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.880 stunting on people that look like you. And we already 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.080 got a bad history of that man. If you grew 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.040 up in the poor community, you feel me and somebody 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.160 had Jordan's that lived next door. They made you feel 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.080 like because you don't have Jordan's like he didn't live 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.880 next door. And like I told myself, like I went 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.239 like I said earlier, like I did it like from marketing. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.760 But at a point I started telling myself like this 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:54.800 is my trophies because I never I never um played basketball, 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.120 football and did all that ship in high school, like 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.920 I was good at music, Like so in the music areme? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.960 I feel like this is where we had first trophy. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.560 Don't rope seeing n w A and you know what 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.239 I'm saying, e's eating them and how the fact goal change. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.000 That's that's where we grew up out of lizing, you 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.120 know what I'm saying. So it's like damn, I got 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.800 I finally got my trophies and that's the ship, because 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.360 you know, that's like a stop until you get plex. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.920 Plaques are the ultimate trophies and the most definitely flax 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.640 are the trophies Awards, Grammys, those are the trophies. But 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.200 the problem is if you think about the term jewelry, right, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.160 it really was a storage of wealth. It was a 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.640 way people can move their wealth on their body without 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.919 carrying bricks and gold. So they created these jewels and 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.039 these jury so you can move your wealth from one 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.200 house to another, not to be flaunted outside. It's the 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.520 reason why the word you is in the word jewelry. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.240 That's not by no mistake. You never created the content 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.480 of jewelry. So a lot of times like I don't 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.000 I get it why we sell wealth. I get where 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.640 we come from. That makes us feel like like I 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.160 would hustle every day with p J Nicks, Right, p 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:02.920 J nikis wild, come to the hood. Were hustled, and 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.039 we're competing against each other, all imperial con p J. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.400 Krip Nicks, Right, We competing to see you could sell 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.600 more work. By the end of the week, we're gonna 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.320 all go to the Metro, We're gonna jump, go to 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.240 the Carson Mall, ver the Carlos, and everybody's gonna buy clothes. Right, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.040 I'm hustling all week. The seven was a different kind 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.679 of spot, like we could make a ton of money 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.560 for me. I might have made two thousand in a 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.240 week for me working for somebody else. Other homies make 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.080 good money. To p J Nicks making fourteen twelve sixteen, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.080 they're making good money. They would take all their money 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.400 at Carlos and buy all the clothes. They would takes 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.120 and buy seventeen hundred dollars work for clothes because they 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.360 didn't want people to see them as broke. So instead 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.720 of keeping money in your pocket and worried about being 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.640 broke versus how people see you, they would make those 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.000 same decisions, Like I just want people to treat me 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.480 like I got something. I would buy a bell and 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.760 have seventeen hundred because I grew up in a household 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.560 where I've been having it and that's kind of not fair. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.240 But it's important for me to share this kind of 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.240 conversation because this is what's wrong in hip hop, like 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.320 more than anything. Like, it's not about victim blaming. The 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.880 thing is, this is gonna probably be It's gonna sound 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.760 a little more fucked up than I want. I wanted 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:21.000 to write both. The nigga is not no victim. The 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.080 nigga you're not a victim when you participate in the 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:29.640 street ship. There's no victims. You're just a loser. You 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.839 just lost that time. There's no victims because the whole 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.599 premise is built on lowlessness. So I saw interview with 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.320 PNB where he was talking to kelv He was saying, 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.280 like nigaud the same time but ship niggast me fucked up, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.880 ain't gonna never happened because from fill me, I used 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.160 to do the same thing. So you're actually a robber. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.000 It's that and it's that carmel like in a sense. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:09:00.800 And yeah, I said, oh so my boy. Both said 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.679 Lebo in the house. My partner about to leave. But 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.760 he was talking on live where he was talking to 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.600 a dude and like he was beat like the dude 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.280 was talking crazy to him, and instead of just taking 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.600 him off the live, he started talking to it back. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.000 Oh you want to beat me? He was like, nick, 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.720 I get you touched, like nigga where you at like 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.360 and people do that on live. You know, it's a 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.120 lot of tough menies on live. So a lot of 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.840 times when niggas talk, I just take them off. I 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.360 don't even have niggas on my life because we're not 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.160 gonna play and I'm not gonna talk back with you. 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.760 I'm gonna spend too much time using resources to get 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.839 to you. And I had like like back to you, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.959 like what you said, Like when he was on seventh, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.600 uh seventh Street, you know how y'all was hustling like 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.000 where I come from. We so you just in the lines. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.880 So um, that was before like I got into like that, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.480 that type of game and ship. Like I used to ask. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.120 I used to ask my homie every day for twenty 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.800 five cents when we you know what I'm saying, Like 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.640 I started hanging out hustling, selling drugs, doing all that 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.959 ship like at thirteen years old, and I used to 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.959 ask my homie every day for so I can get 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.280 a little Debbie Brown only you know what. I would 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:02.760 warm it up and get the milk. And he was like, man, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.079 you gotta get you a hustle. You gotta get you 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.200 a hustle. So once I started hustling, I would hustle 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.160 to buy tennis shoes every Friday. I would hustle just 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.040 to not feel that way, you know, because because my mama, 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.640 like you know what I'm saying, a single parent home, 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.439 she couldn't provide that she was doing every week, you 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.440 know what I'm saying, because she was raising four kids. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.560 So when I got out there on the block, I 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.040 was able to buy my own ship. That was a 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.360 good spot, most definite about it. I was on the 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.040 good side by I can see you see my fun 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.040 walking by, because that was a good in a spot. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.640 That's a real deep way myself because I know good spots. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.280 I tell you some good you feel me for real, 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.840 like my listen my neighborhood world renown for the spot. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.200 It is what I'm saying, Like, so I know good spots, 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.040 Like I know when I see people walking, I'm like, well, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.880 that looked about rolling, And I feel like, like, if 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.040 you weren't over here with us, you want ship. If 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.480 you weren't on the block, like hustling, like doing what 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.000 we were doing, you would like us. You you was not, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:02.280 you know what I'm saying. You can be from the 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.200 set and everything, but if you ain't on the block, 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.280 if you ain't hustling, If you ain't, that's a weird 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:12.720 thing because from we're from hustles, like a broke hustler 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:17.600 is probably you should get put off, k if you 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.040 really think about the premise of what it is to 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.800 be a hustler gangster, like you gotta hustle, how you 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.480 bro that's like and I respect them is over there, 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.800 like I respect my older homies because they provided away 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.520 they gotta spot rolling. My older homies got the seven rolling. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.520 You could make a living and it's just a misconception 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.960 about what I always say this. It is a huge 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.959 misconception of what gangmanging is. It's a music, a huge 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.560 misconcession of what culture is. Like oppression and poverty, right, 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.720 is a virus people pressing and they keep opportunity away 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.200 from you. It's a virus. It makes you sick, like 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.199 it's a virus floating in the community. Culture is just 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.040 a cough. It's the sneeze, the fever, it's all the 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.880 things that happened because you're sick, right, Like, that's what happens. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.400 Like soul fool is not good food, Like we made 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.600 it good, but they gave a slot. So guess what 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:15.599 we overseason it. We all got high blood pressure for 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.040 me because we had two overseason bad food. So that 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.600 culture sticks that that virus made some people sick. And 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:26.319 I was telling my boy today, flexing is another symptom, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.319 you know, flaws and inflexing and stunting is another symptom 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.400 of that motherfucking virus we call oppression. You're trying to 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:37.480 prove to everybody what you have. And I think forgive 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.959 me for thinking this, and God rest that man soul 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.800 know what I'm saying. But I think there was something 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.240 like I'm gonna go here with all my jury, and 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.800 there was some sense of pride ego that made him 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.640 decide he wasn't gonna take it off. A partner of 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.840 mind said he had been there before. Partner of mind 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.079 said he'd been there before, but you knew you're not 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.319 with them. You knew you're not with them, and saying 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.240 like the fact that you even wore that when you 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.320 was going with them, Like I have Mr Fab from 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.640 the bad took Mr Fab into different neighborhoods, letting whar 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.520 is all this jury? But I had control over that. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.040 That's not like a mixed thing. But I would tell Fabi, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.120 don't wear your jury if I'm not with you. Now 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.120 I have somebody tell me that too. Like it was 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.719 like you gott to wear your jury everywhere you go, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.679 and it fucked me up. It was like these my trophies, 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.559 but like, but do you have to wear it everywhere 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.679 you go? Trophies going out? And I don't. I was 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.360 gonna say, like you said, you got the because of 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.200 you know, marketing is like that. There's a difference from 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.200 flaunting you know what I'm saying. That's what's going on 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.320 right now. Cultures everybody's but that's what you see on 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.760 like and like if you don't have if you don't 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.480 do that, and you ain't it. And I kind of 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.120 took a step back and it was like like I 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:50.959 thought about like what that person said, and it was 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.520 like when I like, I was like, yeah, like, well 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.319 when I step out, it's gonna be events. So I'm 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.560 not even gonna wear my ship if it's not. Even 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.839 more people are like if it's not a control and 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.440 vironment much of poor people that need your ship to 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:07.440 eat them. And and again it's like, like I said, 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.280 oppression and poverty is the is the virus that makes 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.200 our community sick. It's floating around. Everybody don't get sick, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.280 but a lot of people do. So when you hear 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.720 people coughing and sneezing like whatever that is, flexing, flossing, uh, 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.160 gang banging, all of the stuff that we do as 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.280 a result of this, you feel me it's because there 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.880 is no opportunity. Like prime example, at my mom house 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.000 in Campton, my mom is a registered nurse. It was 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.200 a doctor that lived around the corner. I lived in 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.200 the forums. It's ranches down the street, huge houses. You 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.040 can see success a million different ways. It wasn't just 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.320 a D boy, it was different people that was successful. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.120 What I'm saying, my mom went to jail and we 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.200 end up at my dad house and watch permanently more right, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.680 the only success is a D boy. There's no doctors 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:56.760 that live on hundred seventeenth Street, there's no doctors that 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.120 live in Imperial courts, there's no doctors that live in 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.640 on a port. It is literally just successful drug dealers. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.160 So if you want to be successful as a kid, 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.920 you look at prime example. More nurses have came out 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.840 of Watts in the last ten years because Maxine Waters 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.360 has a nursing program that's right there. If they even 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.840 promoted more, it would be more because all motherfucker's want 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.440 to do that com from where we come from is 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.920 just be successful and they're gonna take whatever route. But 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.160 that specific thing that we was talking about with PNB, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.760 I think that really comes from flexing and stunning. Somewhere 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.440 around his mind something was wrong, and I would I 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.080 would hope it's ego, like I think it is ego, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.560 where it's like I don't have to take it off 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:45.560 around these poor people, and that's probably like a fatal mistake. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.040 But if you listen to rappers brag about that I'll 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.080 wear my chains everywhere, that's like nigga's really talking ship 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.880 And I'm like, well, then that means you said somebody's 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.840 a bit because you just say, niggas let me wear 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.400 my go there like I'm in this hood right now, 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.400 they ain't out here or whatever. Why why do you 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.480 just say, niggas, let me wear my chain everywhere? Why 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.320 is it where my cha newhe niggas? No, no, they don't. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.160 The niggas is definitely gonna test you when they see you, 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.040 like they just didn't have the opportunity to catch up 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:17.560 with you at that time. Or O here, okay, let 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.480 them come through again. Or the niggas you was with, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.160 they respected them because they from the community and want 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.880 to support them. It was times when I knew niggas 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.080 that wanted to rob baby slam and way when I 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.840 would be around straight up real niggas. Gee man, go 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.160 let me show na many my boys don't do none 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.360 of that. Gee man, we hit mand we give you 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.320 a hunt that now. I'm coole, We're gonna rock. But 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.400 them niggas would be super stunting. What I'm saying, so, 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.360 I think that's a real fatal flaw in hip hop. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.400 That's a real fatal flawing hip hop. That flexing stunt culture. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.400 That's the only one, and we are literally flossing on 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:58.840 poor people. But they're not so. But they're um not 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.760 putting it on the fact that there's flexing stting. It's Oh, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.440 this girl posted this location. I was so upset that 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.480 the police department or whatever confirmed that, Like, why does 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.080 that bother you if it's true? Because my whole thing is, 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.560 we don't know if it's true. Have y'all done, y'all 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:24.080 full investigation, Have y'all pulls all the phones in Roscoe's, 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.359 They did a full investigation. Why does that bother you 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.439 that it could have actually led to that? That literally 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.880 makes perfect sense. I just feel like she's a victim too, 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.520 and it's not. But that's not the point, Like it's 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.600 not putting all. I feel like that's so much pressure 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.040 to put on this young lady that okay, damn, Like 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:50.000 it came out like, oh okay, because she posted the location, okayed, 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:52.320 Like what if it was somebody in there as soon 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.040 as he walked in. That's the police confirmed. They already 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:59.800 figured it. That's kind of crazy what it is already 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.520 know the story, that's like the easy to me was 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.879 that was easy round. That was the easy round, the 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:16.920 easy way up whom that Oh she put the whole 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.000 I'm not saying they bothered me as far. It bothered 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.960 me that they're attracking this moment. So then be mad 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.600 at those people, don't. You don't have to. Y'all got 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.040 to get out of the business of defending dumb shiit 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.359 y'all do to other people. If she made a mistake, 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.960 it's not her fault. He got killed. It was a 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.680 mistake that could have costed his life. That's not her 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.399 fault posted too, though I'm not in the stake. I'm saying, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.840 fuck him posting it. She posted it with the location, 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.159 so what is bothering? Why does that bother you? If 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.760 the police chief confirmed that that happened, it don't mean 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.960 I'm not saying confronted the fact that she did it. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.480 I know she did because I've seen it in you know, 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.600 on the story or whatnot. The fact that everybody saying 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.960 or it's so much pressure coming down on her, like okay, 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:08.080 because she posted this location, and that's the crazy thing, 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.200 Like they could have seen him pull up in the 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.560 parking lot. I saw on the story where they was 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.040 already rolling or whatever. Are you saying, Are you mad 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.920 that social media is jumping to conclusions. I'm mad that 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.159 social media is on this woman that's a victim. She 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.440 watched her man get gunned down. He's laying in his 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.880 just whi y'all on her back? Like, oh, she posted, 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.040 And that's the thing about it, Like she posted that 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.760 she had just got her privileges back, so she might 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.639 have did this before that put this man within a situation. 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:43.760 I'm not she said that that. He um she after 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.199 five or six months, he let her it's not her 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:52.400 I thought she meant like ageway or something. He basically 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:58.800 told her she couldn't post on social media suation a 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.560 yellow light in somebody's in the car with you, y'all 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.399 get hit by a car and that person get sucked 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.720 up in the hospital taking time to recover. Yeah, you 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.520 were driving a car, took the yellow light and that's 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.600 how they got hit. Doesn't mean you're at fault, no 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.720 matter what the general public says. But the reality is 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.560 she did post a location, and that's cool. She just 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:19.639 you know, it might have. It might have been a 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.520 bad situation that they're following them. They're both to some 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.920 degree celebrities, so you you have to bed for that. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.600 At the same time, I don't I didn't know who 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.680 she was. I'm not saying that a gang of people, 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.120 are they really I'm just saying, are they really going 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.840 checking for his girl? Like, oh, let me see where 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:48.000 he like you with me? Maybe don't post like you 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.159 gotta know that, and that's his thing, you know, the 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:55.440 rest of souls. But he posted in the but you 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.359 still But if somebody's following you and you still posted 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:03.240 you as following him? They said that the Instagram post 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.960 is what led to it, the post he did. But 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.040 did it show Roscoe's at all? In the back parking lot? 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.720 In the back parking lot? But but why why does 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.440
