Speaker 5: niggas like us until it just started being too lucrative,

118

00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: I started learning how to move in La because at

161
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: that time, Homemy, every every wrap circle it was basically

162
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: the hood, you know what I mean? Like you know,

163
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't like no, I mean you had death roll

164
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know what I'm saying. Where it was

165
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: different niggas. But for the most parts, if you wrap

166
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: with eight and them you and Compton with the crips,

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: if you rap with mag T and you a nigga

168
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: would with the if you wrap with quick you would

169
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, you were comp San Diego nigga and just

170
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: come to La where I'm you know. And so the

171
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: niggas that kind of open their arms to me, Hommy

172
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: was niggas that wasn't really gang members artists. So that'd

173
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: be like the alcoholics.

174
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's what I was gonna say.

175
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: You always had alcoholics. That's how I met crime and

176
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: feeling all them from being in the arena of niggas

177
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: that was just about rapping on you.

178
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I was gonna say. You had

179
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: a lot of love.

180
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: As crazy as it is, you was a gangster rapper,

181
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: but you had a lot of love from the underground cats.

182
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: That's from that.

183
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: That's from yeah, because at that time Exhibit people, I

184
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 4: think people seem to forget that Exhibit had the whole

185
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: career before he was with Dre right, you know, it

190
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: You didn't look at them as gang bangers like that.

382
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: and I learned a lot of shit, open up my

383
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: eyes a lot of shit and let me know that.

384
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: It let me know about being considerate an other shit

385
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: in the world. Because the shit I thought was the

00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: shit it it it. It didn't mean shit down there,

387
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: and when I got there, it was shit that we

388
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: didn't give a fuck about here that meant everything out

389
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: there like like like fraternities and sororities, the magnitude that

390
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: they had on the South and all that shit. We

391
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: don't do that out here. We won't even understand that

392
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: if you damn it, couldn't get a bitch if you

393
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: wasn't from some ship out there.

394
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 5: You know, if you' if you ain't a camp. They

00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: real strong on ship down in the South. I mean

396
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: not to say we don't got our values as far

397
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 5: as being I think every you know nigga that come

398
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 5: from all walks of life, especially from that time era,

399
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 5: because it's kind of different now, you know what I'm saying,

400
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: a lot of niggas who came from that time era,

401
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: we had some sort of you know, respect and honor

402
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 5: about the shit, even though motherfuckers looked at us as

403
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 5: gang banging and whatever you had it. We just had

404
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 5: a different way of of how shit is. Like you said,

405
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 5: you go down there, they real heavy with the sororities

406
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: and all of that. Well that's how we took being

407
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 5: from the neighborhood.

408
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 3: We have real.

409
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: Respect back then and pride about it. And it's just

410
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 5: kind of different now, you know what I'm saying.

481

516
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: class real and you know, going to the library, and

517
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: it kind of fucked me up because I wasn't even

518
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: all my woke type shit at the time. I'd be

519
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: trying to be on it now about you know, the

520
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: world and all my peoples and all that, but at

521
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: the time, I was just a young, burned nigga fresh

522
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: off the trap, you know what I'm saying.

523
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: But all those experiences made when I'm going to class

524
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: and I'm hearing these black teachers teach me history.

525
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: But when they teaching me history, it ain't like I

526
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: didn't heard it. All through high school. They teaching me

527
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: history and they telling me what my peoples is doing

528
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: during the same time that George Washington is doing whatever

529
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: he doing or whatever, the same time they making the

530
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: Emancipation Proclamation. What the white folks do, That's what they

531
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: tell you in the books, But they don't really tell

532
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: you what the black folks was doing because they was

533
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: doing shit. All these great events is happening in American history,

534
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: but we never learned what we was doing during them times.

535
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: And when I went to Prayer View, they was teaching

536
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: us that.

537
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 5: They was teaching us how we were slaves and crazy

538
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: politics and all that. Ship were just being taught about

539
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 5: being slaves or they might give you one every now

540
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 5: and then.

541
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 4: That's all you heard were ways on how you're not

542
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 4: superior and just pretty much to the gregs the whole time.

543
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 4: That's what I felt like American history was when I

544
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 4: was in high school and stuff, because I took it

545
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: to pump myself to go learn certain things, and I

546
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 4: was like you, once I went to college.

547
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: I learned even further. I exponded on that.

548
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 4: But for the most part, it's they're almost like it's

549
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 4: almost like a form of buck breaking to be a

550
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: little bit like like to remind you, you know what,

551
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 4: your big strong daddy, we once had them tired, so

552
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: you want to stay in line.

553
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 5: It's almost like your kid and elementary and they want

554
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 5: to they want to teach you about how well you

555
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: was a slave and you got brought over here as

556
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 5: a slave, and then you get to see and movies

557
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 5: how you used to get whipped and and chase after

558
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 5: and all kinds of shit and the.

559
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: One niggas that did stand up for y'all got smoked.

560
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: And so don't do that. Don't try to stand up.

561
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna give it to.

562
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: Me like it's the biggest form of bug breaking.

563
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: Dog.

564
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: That's what it is.

565
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: It's very it's very systematic, man, the way they do

566
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 4: stuff and the way they oppress people. Right, because if

567
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: you get told your whole life that all you've been

568
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 4: as a slave and you wasn't shipped then and you

569
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 4: ain't shipping out, what you think you gon grow up

570
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: and do. I had a teacher tell me straight up

571
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 4: in elementary school. White dude told me said, I don't

572
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 4: even know why you try?

573
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: Why are your.

574
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 5: What's so fun at your big ass it was like that,

Speaker 5: right through school and ship.

00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: And it was just you know, you hear those things

Speaker 1: niggas sometimes, but other times I'll be by myself. So

789
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,719

00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 4: one of these labels ever came you.

824
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: Was like, hey, man, I had met I had meetings

825
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: with a few motherfuckers bruh. But what I never had

826
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: is I didn't have the business. I didn't have nobody

827
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: that understood the urbage and how how how the unification

828
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: of an artist and the label. It ain't never the

829
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: artist talking to the goddamn label himself. I never had

830
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: no man in the middle that you know, they they

831
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: don't know me. I'm some little burnia that's gonna go

832
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: buy guns with his avesta And it was nobody in

833
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: the middle. There was no one enemy.

834
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: I never had time in the middle.

835
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 5: Motherfucker gonna try to fuck you anyway, then do something because.

836
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: They're working with the label, and that's the reason why

837
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: they gonna give up the deal anyway. They ain't gonna

838
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: just give this little nigga the bread. And I was

839
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: kind of like, like I used to look at the

840
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: ship that would come up when a nigga would google me,

841
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: like it used to be the wrong ship, you know

842
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like like I thought, like, you know,

843
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: the fifty cent era he gets shot ten times and

844
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: now he owned and you know what I'm saying, I'm thinking,

845
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: the realer you is the more. But shit, nigga too real,

846
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: that nigga that they don't want to fuck with that

847
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: especially not me directly. If it had been somebody a

848
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: middleman to represent for me, if I would when I

849
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: went to go do songs, with with with Ah, you know,

850
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: Short Game, Wayne Little, whoever I did songs with. There

851
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: was no point man talking to his manager. You know

852
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It was just me because niggas just

853
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: fucked with me off of being a cool nigga that

854
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: they know that's a real nigga from the streets. And

855
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: that's the business never was there, you know what I'm saying.

856
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: I never I never had.

857
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 3: That on me. So yeah, you know what it seemed like, sit.

858
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers hollered. You know what I'm saying, A couple

859
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: of labels hollered at the time, but it never was

860
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: no really like how these niggas be getting these deals

861
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: and money now and all that shit.

862
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 3: I'd be like, oh yeah, definitely.

863
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 1: Everybody be getting a little bad.

864
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: It's one of those things. I've always thought that Major

865
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 4: labels because that's kind of how I got job. Major

866
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 4: labels love clause about deniability. If they can have somebody

867
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 4: in the middle for them, they'll let them run the ball,

868
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 4: play and do whatever. So the minute that nigga go

869
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: out there and shoot somebody or choke somebody out a pistol,

870
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 4: whip somebody disassociated, oh that's not us. He signed the

871
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: Sex and Sex and they can just let him go.

872
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 4: But they don't never want to deal with one of y'all.

873
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 5: Because that's the reason why we had stickers on our albums.

874
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 5: Record labels didn't want to take They didn't want to

875
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 5: take accountability, but they want to make money. But they

876
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 5: ain't want to take accountability. If you talk about nigga,

877
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 5: fuck this nigga, or I'm gonna come through doing this

878
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 5: or this. So whatever he's saying, that's his own motherfucking thoughts.

879
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 5: We ain't got nothing. We're gonna exploit this motherfucking put

880
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 5: it out and make some money, but we ain't gonna

881
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 5: take responsibility for it.

882
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 4: They didn't want to take responsibility for you. So you

883
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 4: thriving out here, though you're doing your thing right to

884
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 4: a certain you know, a certain.

885
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: Degree in this hard I ain't never really we didn't.

886
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: We didn't. We didn't get to where it was just,

887
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: you know, it been a grind pretty much, the whole

888
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,640

00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 4: did y'all decide we gonna get together and make this group?

893
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: I guess it was like two thousand and two, three

894
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: four right five era. That was the mixtape era. Remember

895

Speaker 1: when Exhibit went on tour, he would take Crying done,

905
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,400

Speaker 5: So I get it, you know, the representation, because then

982
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 5: there would have been somebody that's been able to go like,

983
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,480

Speaker 5: New York.

990
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,799

00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: it's probably qualified management like a motherfucker out here. But

992
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,600

996
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: to be talking as indepennis shit. Niggas would interview me,

997
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,000

998
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: my own label and I'm doing it. I'm just doing

999

1003
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure that had a lot to do

1004
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 1: with it, because the nigga was riding around here looking

1005
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 1: like I was straight too, though, cause niggas was outside

1006

Speaker 3: He even for eight.

1009
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,880

1010
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: I would love to have him ate, but like thinking, well,

00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 4: I'm sure he already has management, and this.

1012
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 3: I didn't have no management. I was like, fuck.

1028
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 5: a buffer, though, because sometimes I don't feel like sitting

1062

Speaker 4: had a tremendous buzz man and it was almost like

1064
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 4: it was almost at a time out here, if you

1065
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 4: didn't come off that doctor Dre family family, it was

1066
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 4: impossible we should.

1067
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a lot of us uh uh uh

1068
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 5: struggled from that from that aspect.

1069
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: After Park, it was like everybody else didn't want to

1070
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, Nigga tripping Biggie happened.

1071
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 3: It was a lot of a lot.

1072
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 5: Of labels, uh disassociated themselves with my class West Coast

1073
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 5: music during that time. I caught the beginning of it

1074
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 5: because at the end of my major label run, they

1075
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 5: were skept to go a fucking with our music. It

1076
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 5: was either you switched up the style or basically you

1077
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 5: got shelved or whatever. Yeah, with the Park situation and

1078
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 5: with Death Row, and then you know a lot of

1079
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 5: the a lot of the parent companies decide and like,

1080
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 5: we don't want to touch that ship. It was hard

1081
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 5: to get you know. It was a long Yeah, it

1082
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 5: was a long time.

1083
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 3: It was.

1084
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 5: You gotta look at that period between, like he said,

1085
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 5: between Park dying and Biggie dying West Coast music kind

1086
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 5: of like because it was our format, you get me.

1087
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 5: Our reputation was that type of music. Think about it

1088
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,280

1131
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,759

1143
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: Let me just say it like this on me. Every

1144
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: artist then had an issue, all our favorite rappers and

1145
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: had issues at Diego. And what I'll say it is

1146
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: not no digo l a thing. It's that for so

1147
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: long San Diego didn't know nothing about the rap shit,

1148
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: so when they see niggas as gang members, they would

1149
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: just look at it like that's just.

1150
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 3: A game manber that ain't no rapping.

1151
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gang banging.

1152
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 3: You got that ship at home.

1153
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 5: Though, when I saw when I started rapping, uh yeah, nigga,

1154
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 5: I had little videos and songs out and ship, but

1155
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 5: still Nigga was affiliated when I started rapping. So it

1156
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 5: was like, I can't go over there and sign no

1157
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,520

01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 5: because the homies live over there and they not.

1277
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,439
Speaker 3: It was just life to me. And it wasn't like I.

1278
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 5: Was glorifying it, but I was like shit, while niggas

1279
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 5: is talking about being the freshest and the hardest MC

01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask both of y'all. This's this question

1284
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 3: for both of y'all.

1285
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 4: Do y'all think man that sometimes game banging might have

1286
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 4: fucked up the music industry in La. Not saying fuck

1287
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 4: it up, because it's been a lot of niggas that

Speaker 4: have got on right. La got a very thriving music.

1289
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 5: I would say is the downfall from gang banging and

1290
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 5: music is that it doesn't sometimes it keeps us restricted

1291
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 5: from each other as far as being able to show

1292
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,200

1293
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 5: with a nigga or his music or whatever I said.

1294
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 5: To this day, niggas ties and their affiliations is what

1295
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 5: keep us held down.

1296
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,080

1299
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 5: ain't because a nigga music ain't good. It's because of

1300
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 5: past affiliations and what niggas feel that they must hold true.

1301
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 3: You get me. Mc A got a show in La Yeah,

01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 5: would come from and niggas just won't live that down

1317
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,200

1318
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 5: for a niggas craft, you get me. Niggas let the

1319
01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 5: affiliations in the past gang situations to hinder wanting to

1320
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,919
Speaker 5: just respect the nigga. That's what makes me just say,

1321
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 5: fuck it. I'm gonna call up a nigga and be like, nigga,

1322
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 5: you down on my shit, you get me? Because a

1323
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 5: lot of niggas don't respect us for a.

1324
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:14,439
Speaker 3: Lot of shit we've done.

1325
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 5: And like I said, and that's just because the neighborhood

1326
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 5: affiliations or pass whatever past beefs or he from here

1327
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 5: or I grew up with that niggo or I know

1328
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 5: that nigga or whatever whatever you know, you just can't

1329
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 5: get the same love sometime here.

1330
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: The way I feel about it is that's a deeper

1331
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,919
Speaker 1: version of it, but a more simple version of it

1332
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: is now it's a little bit different, but times like

1333
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: recent pass up until you know the recent past. You

1334
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: figure if you're a blood rapper and you come out,

1335
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: you automatically half your fan base is just gonna go

1336
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: like this if you're thinking about it from a perspective,

1337
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: if you from the Bay, if you're from the Bay,

1338
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: the project right next to you might not like you

1339
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: because y'all funking, But a nigga an hour away don't

1340
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: have no reason and not fuck with you. When you

1341
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: a blood, a nigga across the country, you have a

1342
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: reason not to bump your music. So it's hard for

1343
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: the music to move the way it might move in

1344
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: the South because it might get to this hood, but

1345
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: then it might stop because the next it over its crippled.

1346
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: So it ain't gonna just move steady. You feel me?

1347
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: If you go and buy like an independent type of

1348
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: push like that, you know you a blood, You ain't

1349
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: You ain't really getting no like nineties two thousands. You

1350
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,120

Speaker 1: ain't really gonna fuck with your music. You feel me.

1356
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: That's the ship I look at when I think about now.

01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: It ain't like no Long Beach niggas don't fuck with

Speaker 4: I would say, man for more than anything else. I've

1363
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 4: been in California since nineteen eighty eight. I'm a riginally

1364
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:13,000

01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,120

Speaker 3: I never banged.

1367
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 4: Because of that specific thing because I had too many

1368
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 4: friends I met. You know, when you play football with people,

1369
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 4: they become like your brothers. So if me messing with

1370
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 4: the homies from Long Beach insane men, I can't hang

1371
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:30,960

Speaker 1: that type of shit, whether I want to bang or

1381
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:53,400

1382
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, for y'all, it's a little different. See when you

1384
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,160

1385
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 1: You know.

1386
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 5: It's kind of different if a motherfucker showed up off

Speaker 3: Yeah, the definitely.

1389
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 5: But the choices are, you know, a little different than

1390
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:23,440
Speaker 5: you growing up in the hood, and you're being expected

01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Man, niggas always When when I you know, you get

1440
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: somebody that ain't from inside talking about they killing over colors, man,

1441
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: I ain't. It ain't never been about no colors. It

1442
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: ain't ain't. No, it be about some other ship, but

1443
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:38,720
Speaker 1: that'd be the last thing and be about it be

1444
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: about some bitches or something before it be about.

1445
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I tried to Yeah that's why I try to

1446
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 5: explain to a lot of people, uh, you know who

1447
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 5: listen to my music, who get confused because that's the

1448
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 5: simplicity that they want to push. Ah, you niggas is

1449
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 5: dying over a red rag or a blue rag. And

1450
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 5: I try to tell niggas it's more deeper than that.

1451
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 5: It's it's more deeper because of the foundation of what

1452
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 5: it really is. And it's not about colors and shit.

1453
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody motherfucking associates themselves with something. Football teams

1454
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 5: associate themselves with colors and sun and you know, all

1455
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 5: kinds of shit. So but it's never that you know

1456
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, I tell you one thing broke.

1457
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 3: Poverty of motherfucker. Yeah that's yeah, definitely.

1458
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 4: Poverty when you brought up with nothing. And that's and see,

1459
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 4: poverty is so universal. If you notice anywhere where they

1460
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 4: have poverty, they have what a high crime rate, they

1461
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 4: have a high murder rate because people don't have no hope.

1462
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 4: Think about you, think about it. You actually a talent

1463
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 4: man that even though it may not be the career

1464
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 4: that you necessarily wanted, it took you a lot of places, right,

1465
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 4: You've been able to make a living for yourself and

1466
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 4: your family. Right, think about the nigga that don't have

1467
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 4: no options. That's your stuck in the hood, right. He

1468
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 4: can't do nothing. He can't wrap, he can't play no football,

1469
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 4: no basketball.

1470
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 5: All he know is that that's a lot of the

1471
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 5: homies that's lost, a lot of the homies that we

1472
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 5: got buried, or a lot of the homies that we

1473
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 5: got doing life in the pin right now because he

1474
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 5: got no choices.

1475
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 4: They don't have no fucking choice, you get it. I

1476
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,640
Speaker 4: don't have no choice in the dope game. See, we

1477
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 4: had this disillusion back in the eighties and nineties, man,

1478
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 4: that the dope game was like the to save you

1479
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 4: for the neighborhood. I don't know nobody that made it

1480
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 4: out dog. Everybody y'all know there was a big baller

1481
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 4: like they had the big cribs dog and all the

1482
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 4: cars and stuff. Most of them dudes that's either steal

1483
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:44,679
Speaker 4: in prison, dead, smoked out.

1484
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 3: Did they just it wasn't no.

1485
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: One could be one. It ain't somewhere.

1486
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 4: You got the number one. It is one somewhere, some successful.

1487
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 4: We got to have one success story. You got the

1488
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 4: one that got away. And I'm talking about dudes that

1489
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 4: deal with high level. I'm talking about extremely high level.

1490
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 3: Right.

1491
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 4: You got the cat that made got out of it, man,

1492
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 4: but he's still mentally scarred from it. Right, he lost more,

1493
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:14,719
Speaker 4: way more.

1494
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 3: Than what he gained from it. You feel what I mean?

1495
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 4: That was the biggest lie ever in society, man, because

1496
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 4: I had because it had people think he made it, man,

1497
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 4: But we tore up a whole community. Now I'm gonna

1498
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 4: have to say weeks, I was actively involved when.

1499
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,799
Speaker 5: We got a lot we we got we got success

1500
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 5: stories myself. Nichie you oh yeah, But that's what I'm saying.

1501
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 5: There's a lot of there's a lot of us who

1502
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 5: came from uh walking from the wrong side of the tracks.

1503
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 5: And like I tell motherfuckers today, I wouldn't change it

1504
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 5: for nothing because it makes you who you are, and

1505
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 5: it makes you understand shit. You know, Without gang banging

1506
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 5: and without growing up in the hood, of going through

1507
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 5: poverty and all of that, it wouldn't have made me

1508
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 5: who I am. With my kid, you feel me uh

1509
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 5: to be able to get you know, especially with a

1510
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 5: young man being able to turn him away from and

1511
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 5: let him see that there's bright shiit other it's it's

1512
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 5: a it's a brighter light at the tunnel other than

1513
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 5: what we had to go through. You know, we didn't

1514
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 5: have too many choices, you feel me. Uh, growing up

1515
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 5: in the eighties, in the early nineties, I didn't have

1516
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 5: too many choices.

1517
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 3: Man.

1518
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 5: My parents tried to give a nigga a positive light.

1519
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 5: But back then, you ain't got a lot of ship

1520
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 5: that wasn't available to us. So you just had to

1521
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 5: make a way. And for us to be sitting here

1522
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 5: today and not six feet under or you know, locked

1523
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 5: down in the pen looking at another fifth.

1529
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 5: regular nigga from the neighborhood who a lot of motherfuckers

1530
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 5: probably thought wouldn't make it out of the situation.

1531
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 3: You get me.

1532
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,520
Speaker 1: A lot of the homies died before we wasn't even teenagers,

1533
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: no mom.

1534

Speaker 4: Where do you fit in that in this landscape right now?

1556
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: From what I'm noticing, And I could be wrong, and

1557
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: the intel that I'm grabbing, the game is kind of

1558
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 1: changing right now, and you're starting to see cats that

1559
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: actually do make music from that angle starting to either

1560
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: step step back into the game or or like a

1561
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: lot of the g's. If you notice, man, a lot

1565
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 1: know everybody noticed, but like we can't overlook the fact that,

1566
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, Big Mike did just win uh Grammy for

1567
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:09,160

1573
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: we can't notice. I think the game is kind of

1574
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: changing right now, no disrespect to the young artists have

1575
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: been making music, but some of the fans that was

Speaker 1: just following along listening to a lot of the different

1577
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: music because it wasn't they're starting to be able to

1578
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: step back and find a lot of their favorite artists

1579
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:46,280

01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 3: Straight up, I don't think I think that's the thing.

1585
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 4: I think it's important that cats continue to for our

1586
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 4: records because you gotta think about it.

1587
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 3: Like now, right now, we in the era of the

1588
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 3: fifty year old b boy. Straight up.

1589
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 4: You know the way you see cats are fifty years old.

1590
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 4: Ain't like our parents fifty years old. You remember, while

1591
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 4: we's little kids, you see a nigga's fifty he got.

1592
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 3: On the collar shirt. Now you know you see fifty niggas.

1593
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Your old niggas dress fresh. You know what I mean?

1594
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 4: They are product of the hip hop environment. They grew

1595
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 4: up on hip hop, you know what I'm saying. So

1596
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 4: what they gonna listen to? I know me, I'm I'm

1597
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 4: like checking for no, it's a red bag. I heard

1598
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 4: the other day, man, where they took the door to

1599
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 4: explore a song and made the hook out of it,

1600
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 4: talk about bagpack, bag pack. Yeah, but I can't listen

1601
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 4: that as a grown ass man.

1602
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 3: Man.

1603
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 5: I just think that this era, you know, it comes

1604
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 5: quick and is here today going tomorrow type of era

1605
01:18:55,400 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 5: where everybody rapping, but nobody's really making. So that's I

1606
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 5: think that's the difference between our era and what it

1607
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 5: is today. Today is catchy as hooky, it's gimmicky, and

1608
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 5: then a week from now, it's like, what's next. I'm

1609
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 5: gonna tell you what it is, bro, And I could

1610
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 5: put out a song and motherfucker banging that shit for

1611
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 5: the next three years. You did me as opposed to

1612
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,440
Speaker 5: you could put out a song today and a motherfucker

1613
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 5: bang it over the next week, and then now it's like, Okay,

1614
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 5: what's the next.

1615
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, this ain't you know, and this ain't no

1616
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 4: not against nobody, man, But I like some of them records,

1617
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Like I thought the Homie

1618
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 4: Otch Genesis was jamming, But it's the that's the problem

1619
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 4: right there, so to speak, you feel what I mean.

1620
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 4: Ot Genesis make great songs, but they just great for

1621
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 4: that moment right there. It ain't no body of work

1622
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 4: attext to it. You feel what I mean, And it

1623
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 4: could be maybe he got that, maybe he don't. But

1624
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 4: this area has gotten so aware to where is it's

1625
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 4: almost it's crazy. Now you see cats trying they'll do anything.

1626
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think motherfuckers want to make songs today.

1627
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:12,560
Speaker 5: I think they just want to make what's catchy, what's gimmicky,

1628
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 5: and what's you know what can give me a million

1629
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 5: billion downloads right now and a month from now. If

1630
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 5: don't nobody ever want to hear that shit again? Oh well,

1631
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 5: but you know, one positive motherfucker's.

1632
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 1: Making some bread, you know what it is. I think

1633
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: the little artist now, I ain't knocking their music, never

1634
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 1: knocking them, but I think a lot of times now

1635
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the streams and a lot of the

1636
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: shit that they getting is coming from shit other than

1637
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: their music. So therefore the music don't last because the

1638
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: song wasn't even hot because of the music. The song

1639
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,800
Speaker 1: was kind of hot because of something else that this

1640
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: artist did in his life, you know, because they do

1641
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of other things that get popular. Now you

1642
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 1: feel me, it ain't got no nothing to do with it.

1643
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 3: The song is almost like just the afterthought.

1644
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah it is a pro hes fucking with or you

1645
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: know what is this murdered trial saying?

1646
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 3: And yeah, what controversy, conflict or conspiracy?

1647
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,759
Speaker 1: And so that's the reason why his song will be popping.

1648
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: That's the reason why you see all these people pop

1649
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: with music after they've done something else, has some other

1650
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: career that made them popular, whether it be a reality

1651
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,560
Speaker 1: show or or or or was in fucked with this

1652
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: broad or in this movie or whatever it is. You

1653
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Then he gets his career with

1654
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: rap because he already got he already popular.

1655
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way I look at it, with this man,

1656
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 4: this rap is almost like a calling card anyway to

1657
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 4: do some other shit. We lived in the era right now,

1658
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 4: that's so dope, right, think about this. We can go

Speaker 4: shoot a movie next week and put it out straight up.

1660
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 4: You feel what I'm saying. So it's so much stuff

1661
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 4: that we can do. Like I look at these young

1710
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: know Pocket, we know he could act. But I'm saying,

1711
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying from a nigga that no, not just cause

1712
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,400
Speaker 1: he said it and he went to school. You know

1713
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: he did his say.

1714
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 5: He was.

1715
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 3: A good actor. He was a really good actor, you know,

1716
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 3: which is why he was such a good hip hop artist.

1717
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. He was able to get

1718
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 3: that shit off. You know what I mean? You know

1719
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 3: that motherfucker. You thought he you know, he's meant business

1720
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 3: when he said what he said.

1721
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 4: The reasons I say that, man, is because you got

1722
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 4: some rappers who aren't good actors, you know what I'm saying.

1723
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 4: E eight pulled that shit off though. And I think eight,

1724
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 4: by me knowing him a little bit, now I know

1725
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 4: why I used to always wondered why he didn't do

1726
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 4: more movies that much from probably turned down more shit

1727
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 4: just from where he was at. You know, he that's

1728
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 4: what this rap shit mean to him. He was like,

1729
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 4: ain't nobody gonna try to make me no no comedian

1730
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 4: you know, no, no, no, no cartoon character. He wouldn't

1731
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 4: having it, you know what I'm saying. So he pretty

1732
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 4: much probably sacrifice. Come on, it's not wanting to do

1733
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 4: certain shit, you know.

1734
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:06,320

Speaker 3: So it was.

1763
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:38,600

01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 5: Oh No, I Allen and Albert was cool, but a

1788
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 5: lot of my role I got to improvise, you get me,

1789
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 5: because uh, niggas was actors, you get me. Loren's was acting,

1790
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:06,600
Speaker 5: the Tyron was an actor, Jada was an actor, and

1791
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 5: and and the other niggas like too short or whatever

1792
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 5: they you know, it was.

1793
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:12,560
Speaker 1: It was.

1794
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 5: It was a lot of less role because we don't

1795
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 5: want to take away some of the authenticity from niggas

1796
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 5: being Street affiliated. So when it came down to ship

1797
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 5: that I either had to because you know, I had

1798
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 5: a lot of lines and a lot of ship. So

1799
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,480
Speaker 5: when it came down to even ship as simple as wardrobe,

1800
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 5: I'd be like, niggas don't wear that type of ship,

1801
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 5: and niggas don't wear that. So you know, most of

1802
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 5: the time I would just wear my own ship.

1803
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,640
Speaker 3: I wear my own ship, and I just try to.

1804
