Are people? 234 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 4: Really? 235 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: Does it take a long time for people to adjust 236 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: to y'all saying like I ain't on that no more? 237 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: Or was it well received? 238 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 5: Hell? 239 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 4: Yeah? 240 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 5: I mean you know people you got a name, people like, 241 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 5: oh that nigga ain't no way he getting you know 242 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 5: what I'm saying?

And I think that people who 259 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: are watching y'all have to be savvy enough to understand 260 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: that sometimes when you deal with these stories, it ain't 261 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: that you are glorifying them, but you are putting your 262 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: receipts on the table, so these youngsters know exactly which 263 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: way to go. These are marching orders. This ain't just 264 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: niggas talking, you know what I'm saying. And so I think, 265 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think the audience is savvy enough. But 266 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: I want to put that on the record for anyone 267 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: that just rolls past this and you may see us 268 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: talk about jail, or you may see us talk about 269 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: certain things and crack a smile. It ain't because it's funny. 270 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: It's because it's some brothers made it through it, you 271 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I just want to be 272 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: clear about that. But but yeah, man, So we were 273 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: talking about a couple of different things.

And so running when they 498 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: catch you could be an issue. My thing is said, 499 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: the whole system is flawed. You see what I'm saying. 500 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: That's my thing. That's why I'm saying, Yo, man, they 501 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: got this is sixteen year old little boy they got 502 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: out here that may mam and them may be on drugs.

You see what I'm saying, 506 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: And it's like, so I think that's why that's why 507 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: I think both of our narratives live. But it's important 508 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: because you work with the juvenile, y'all work with these kids. 509 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: So it's important that they know like you said, no, 510 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: the consequence twenty years from now. 511 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: Because I'm like, if you know the rules to spades, 512 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 4: you know the rules of dominoes, but you don't know 513 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 4: the rules to the game that you win.

There's a lingering consequence 598 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: that's on top of that. Ain't that crazy? You supposed 599 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: to be able to say, yo, I did that, I'll 600 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: pay for that. You dig that's supposed to be that 601 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: on that we're still talking years down the road, that she's. 602 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 6: Never heard of expungement. 603 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 5: Bro, I never knew anybody that copped out in part 604 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 5: of their plea wasn't. 605 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 4: And see it go never and it goes back to 606 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 4: as you speaking on earlier narrative. See the narrative is 607 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 4: you pay your debt to society, but the truth feels 608 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 4: you never pee. You know what I'm saying, And that's 609 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 4: what the fight is. The fight is, you know what 610 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 4: I'm saying, us as just as impacted people, convicted, felons, 611 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 4: directly impacted, whatever you want to call it. You know 612 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 4: what I'm saying, it's us being reintegrated back into society. 613 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 4: We need a new integration and a new integration that 614 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 4: is integrating us back in. 615 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: So when you spoke. 616 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 4: On earlier saying, I think you mentioned what do we 617 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 4: do to get our faces out there or whatever? You 618 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, or for people to recognize us 619 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 4: since we came home. That's the problem is the right 620 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 4: people don't want to recognize us. They see what we're doing, 621 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 4: and the right people to keep in power. Y'all see 622 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 4: what we're doing, But who is trying to elevate us. 623 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

You knowee what 813 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 3: I'm saying, So you can address them kind of issues 814 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 3: that my city. God, if I'm giving you forty fifty 815 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 3: to come down here, can you do this or that 816 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 3: for me?

So if you make 819 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 3: it make sense and it's beneficial for them, sometime they'll 820 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 3: make certain things happen. You feel what I'm saying. But 821 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: I just think we gotta get a solid core on 822 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 3: every end, like with these promoters. And I don't really 823 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 3: know too many promotes. I'm gonna tell you some promoter 824 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 3: that did something for me, Like when Little Melvin brought 825 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 3: Charleston down here, he made it his business, because Charleston 826 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 3: was in that lane with kids to deal with us, 827 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 3: Like he stopped by here hollered at you. He stopped 828 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 3: by a Meridian cafe to holler at me. So when 829 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 3: we learn the niggas that we bringing down here, what 830 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: you're trying to get done? When you when you dropping 831 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 3: them thirty or forty or fifty for them to come 832 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 3: down there, because a lot of these dudes just want 833 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 3: to make you feel what I'm saying, But I feel 834 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 3: like we got solid enough dudes if the rap see 835 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 3: I'm kind of like in this thing with rappers though, bro, 836 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 3: we put too much responsibility on these niggas, Like these 837 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 3: niggas haven't gotten the game to rap, you see what 838 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 3: I'm saying. So a lot of time they do have 839 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 3: the voice, but a lot of times they problems ain't 840 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 3: your problems. And I kind of understood that ship like, but. 841 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: Then a responsibility to go with that though, So they 842 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: can't just go scott free because they like this accountability. 843 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: My kids on your on your cap though, right, you 844 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you influential to the people 845 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: that I'm I'm leaving behind to this world, so I 846 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: gotta kind of That's why I didn't. That's why I 847 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: stop being so critical of people and just starting to 848 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: put game next to whatever they doing. Y'all do what 849 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: y'all do, and I'll just put something next to it 850 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully that when I when I let my kids out, 851 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: they go towards the stuff that I've put out that 852 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: it makes more sense versus the ship this. You know 853 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I don't necessarily count on on these 854 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: people the same way you're saying. But but I think 855 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: that they have a responsibility too though to if you 856 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: come to a city and eat off a city, you 857 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: have a responsibility to feed into that city. 858 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 2: Yep. 859 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 3: Coming So think about this the same that we were 860 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 3: saying with academics. That's how he's eating. You know what 861 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 3: I'm saying, creating this now doing that, That's how these 862 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 3: rap niggas eat because they saying, put this drake on 863 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 3: your and go do this.

Lot of times they ain't spending the 945 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: night here. They literally come and grabbing it bagg and 946 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: hitting the road, not even staying at the hotel. 947 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 5: As a businessman like I would look at that as 948 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 5: part of marketing because it's it's hard for me to 949 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 5: have a customer base and not engage with that customer base. 950 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 5: And if I'm coming to your city and I'm gonna 951 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 5: do a show, I'm gonna hit the local podcast.

It ain't gonna make sense. 957 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 5: You pick out the choice one like of course you 958 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 5: got this on lock. Of course it's the choice. 959 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: But and then here's also a thing. Traveling is exhausted. 960 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,720 Speaker 1: So a lot of these niggas is. So let's pay attention. 961 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 1: When you serving a Nashville, especially a club market, you 962 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: probably ain't on tour where you getting no resks. So 963 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: you might got a Thursday in Nashville, a Friday in Alabama, 964 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: Saturday and nolth Carolina or Sunday, Texas. You see what 965 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So you right, it ain't like a nigga 966 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,399 Speaker 1: like a baby or something that's really getting money that's 967 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,720 Speaker 1: going to a town and staying two or three nights. 968 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,399 Speaker 5: I'm gonna do a drop hey y'all, Hey man, I'm 969 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 5: in the city.

I hear it, I understand it, 975 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: but I know the business side of it. Even if 976 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 1: it ain't true. They can use it for an escapegoat 977 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: to be like, Man, I just came from Alabama. I 978 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: gotta be a test of the moment. Man, I don't 979 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: want to say. You know, they can use it for 980 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 1: an escapegoat even if it ain't the case. You know 981 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because you can do it if you 982 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: want to do it, bro, you know what I mean 983 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: these dudes. That's another thing with rappers. It's like the 984 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: expectation on them has been so loose that they can 985 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: promise things and not deliver.

Man, he had a life sentence, Man, and 1842 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,280 Speaker 3: he's sitting right here with us. Man, were sitting right 1843 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,720 Speaker 3: here with a brother the only person in the US 1844 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 3: that done got pardoned by a governor and a president. 1845 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 3: You feel what I'm saying myself, Man, I changed the 1846 01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,200 Speaker 3: same lot that I was incarcerated on. So you ain't 1847 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,000 Speaker 3: dealing with no group of brothers who just playing around like. 1848 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 3: We really got motion. And I think is we're reaching 1849 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:58,519 Speaker 3: out outside of Tennessee because we know pressure bus pipes, 1850 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,439 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. We had a situationation right 1851 01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,680 Speaker 3: here in Nashville to the sea with Santorya. Brown. I 1852 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 3: don't believe they let her go because they just wanted to. 1853 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,240 Speaker 3: But with the celebrity power that was behind this, it 1854 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 3: applied pressure to put people in a position where we 1855 01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:13,920 Speaker 3: gotta do this. So most of the time we look 1856 01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,439 Speaker 3: at things, we understand what something ain't right. We ain't 1857 01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 3: asking for no favoritism because we know we ain't gonna 1858 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,480 Speaker 3: get them. We want equality. So when we speak on equality, 1859 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 3: it's like when I knew the drug free schools on 1860 01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:25,559 Speaker 3: it's four hundred people locked up on it. I knew 1861 01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,800 Speaker 3: the drug free schools on wasn't right, So I got 1862 01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,519 Speaker 3: with a group by the family of Washington, DC called 1863 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,800 Speaker 3: Families Against Meldatory Minimals. We press that line, we got 1864 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 3: the law change. So when we press them kind of lines, 1865 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 3: we ain't just saying this to y'all like this alone shot. 1866 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,719 Speaker 3: Now it's about how much pressure we gonna apply. 1867 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 1: And our town has been It's literally I'm literally the 1868 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:52,519 Speaker 1: first media I'm probably the only peron really, I'm one 1869 01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 1: of the biggest in the South. But I'm saying when 1870 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,839 Speaker 1: we talk about Nashville in particular, it's like, I literally 1871 01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:02,040 Speaker 1: may be the first reason media thing has ever happened 1872 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:03,200 Speaker 1: to this time man. 1873 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 3: In this town, you know. 1874 01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,519 Speaker 1: And so what that what that says to me is 1875 01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:14,360 Speaker 1: like I have a responsibility, you see what I mean 1876 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,639 Speaker 1: of using this in a way that's effective for this 1877 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,080 Speaker 1: whole thing because and I'm not talking about rap shit. Look, 1878 01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,920 Speaker 1: I may not never talk to a Nasvia rapper because 1879 01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:29,760 Speaker 1: I ain't got no obligation to the rap community, you 1880 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,479 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But when we talk about the 1881 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,599 Speaker 1: streets ship that that that I didn't have to come 1882 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 1: up in and fall victim to here and there, even 1883 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 1: though I didn't have to go as far as y'all went. 1884 01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 1: The dude that told on me. See, this is my scenario. 1885 01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,559 Speaker 1: I had a guy who I was fucking with. This 1886 01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:50,679 Speaker 1: dude for nine years, like I took care of helped 1887 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,160 Speaker 1: him out. He never had out the money ever in 1888 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,720 Speaker 1: the tirety of his existence. It's always been a relationship 1889 01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:00,080 Speaker 1: where I were fucking with the guy. All of a 1890 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:05,200 Speaker 1: sudden he flipped.

He flipped on you. 1893 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,720 Speaker 1: So if they didn't have the whole yeah, it was 1894 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 1: just the one thing that what they was hoping for 1895 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,840 Speaker 1: is to follow me to where I was going, and 1896 01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,160 Speaker 1: it was some more ship in there.
