These niggas de rap niggas is making 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.800 inspiration no ship and aspirational ship glasses low as a 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.360 rapper is making educational ship. I'm gonna tell you how 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:29.320 this ship go one plus one equals too nigga. Uh 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.959 the thing that freaks me out? What? What? Well? All 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.720 this ship that's going on and hip hop, it's in 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:44.520 this weird space right where back when I first started 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.320 listening to hip hop when I was younger, just beefing 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:52.280 with a nigga captured the imagination, you know what I mean, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:57.720 Like if you was, you know, verbally sparring with somebody 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.040 or the idea y'all was even that was enough to 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.720 promote it to the you know, to the front of 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.119 hip hop, like everybody wanted to see that because hip 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.959 hop used to allow you know, the public to to 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.080 capture them. You know, it would capture the imagination like, oh, 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.480 if these two guys seen each other, it will be 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:23.440 on whether you know all of New York stuff that 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.679 was going on um on the West Coast, it might 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.039 have been in w a versus the police, and then 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.960 it was ice Q versus in w A. Then it 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:38.800 was Dr D versus Easy, and that's all you needed, 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.600 Ice Q versus Ruthless. And you know you might have 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:47.600 heard about the skirmish, Yeah, like at the Jack the 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:57.160 Ripper um the imagination, like you know, you you imagine 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.280 what would happen if these guys got into it with 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.760 each other, you know what I mean. And that was 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.800 the only that that was the all the marketing you 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.840 needed to be at the front of hip hop. And 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.640 I think now, you know, in two thousand twenty two, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.360 we're looking at what happened with Dolf and you know, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.600 obviously you get the on slide of people posting his pictures, 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.960 talking about his music, talking about his contribution to the 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.120 community because he passed away. But what freaks me the 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.880 funk out is people seem like they're surprised, like I 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:37.440 can't believe this happened to to Dolf. You know, you know, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.519 we need to we need to change this, We need 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.919 to you know, we need to alter what's going on 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.800 because you know, people was losing their lives and I'm thinking, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.400 like this is the fourth time. I think that's the 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.079 correct number they made in the temple on Dolf's life, right, 0:02:55.160 --> 0:03:01.640 So it was a time he was line assistance. Yeah, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.680 it was sometime he was in the Carolinas. They put 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:09.840 a honey shots into a bulletproof truck that he was in. Yes, 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.200 something happened in Memphis and then he got shot out 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:20.360 here in l A m hm m hmm. And I 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:27.520 just thought that that was crazy. Um, Like people just 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.359 so surprised, like oh, and I'm like, well, would if 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.320 as a culture we intervened when they put the honey 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.960 shots into his truck, like we all know auto something 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.120 like that. Yeah, like because we all knew exactly who 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.480 he was beefing with. They was making a beef public. 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:53.120 So literally up as a collective, right, whether it's Yo 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.960 Gotti at the top of it, because in Ohio and 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.160 excuse me, in Tennessee and Memphis, you think about Yo Gotti, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:04.160 You think about three six, Mafia eight and m J. G. Buck, 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.720 you think of all the veterans, not to mention, you 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.280 got you know, outcast t I, all the rest of 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.600 the people from the South, and then all the rest 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.760 of us in hip hop. We could literally come and 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:21.640 say hey, man, um, you gotta comment ship down. I mean, 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.599 it could be some ship, but if if the whole culture, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.800 because it's so much street, you know, politics within the culture, 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.200 like where I don't care where you're from. Eventually you 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.919 gotta respect the whole culture. Stepping forward saying, hey man, 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.640 y'all gotta kind of calm down, like with all this 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.760 extra ship y'all seeing at each other and ship, you know, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.200 I mean, that's that's not gonna happen because you're gonna 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:46.760 sunk up the money. So we don't get to this 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.600 point where it's like, oh, you know we I can't 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.720 believe what happened at DOLF. I can't believe it. It's 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.200 like all the other stuff didn't even matter until at 0:04:55.200 --> 0:05:00.200 this point now that he died. Our p Do you 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.800 think that people even goofy girls on Instagram? Do you 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:10.280 think people honestly can't believe that that happened. Yes, they 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.040 cannot believe that it happened. What's wrong with those people? 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.120 I have no clue, Like, you can't believe that that happen. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.679 Folks start getting certain amount of money, uh, and people 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:31.040 start liking you. They they man, I haven't heard one 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.800 song of the dude saying nothing cool and you know, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.599 I just started really listening to a music, the music 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.840 I was here, and he like, fuck you and if 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.760 I catch you, I'm gonna blow your head off. He 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.000 had me for god, he had this on got it. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.200 He had beef and back and forth the project pat before. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:54.920 He seems like he antagonized. I wasn't surprised at all, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.560 not even a little bit. When you start liking people 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.880 when they got that money, you just you forgot all that. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.560 He's like, oh, he he was that community activists. Was 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.160 he a hood dude like with the ships like that, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.680 or was he just kind of like a rapper or 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:15.719 the guy people I know they say it was pretty legit. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.640 You know. I don't know what type of trooper he was, 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.919 but everybody I know said he was a pretty legit dude. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.080 But even to the point where right after he got 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.240 shot in Hollywood or right after the Carolina shooting, he 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.120 made an album and the track listing like he was 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:36.880 talking to the shooters, like antagonizing the motherfucker shooting. Yeah, 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:42.160 and like I'm not trying to tell no nigga how 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.240 to deal with the ship, right, But I just look 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.240 at us as a community, Right And then I say 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.560 damn Like I'm not the one to try to intervene 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.479 in wars. And you know I'm not trying to, you know, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.320 all the piece, I'm not because I don't know what 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.599 Nick is really arguing over. I don't know what the 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.840 beef is is over. So I'm really careful with how 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.839 I get in the middle of another nigga ship, like 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:09.360 some ship worth shooting the nigked. But I'll tell somebody, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:14.040 maybe you shouldn't go to a location like that. I 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.680 just looked at where it was, and I'm like, it 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.440 was right, really like you went to that parking lot 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.240 right there, in that car, and he wasn't sold right 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.480 by all of our park buildings that I know. I 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.160 know those buildings from from property looking like I know 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.480 that that community and I know it too. And and 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.920 that's what's funny, is right, is he wasn't by myself. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.640 But it don't matter. You gotta landload with a wrap 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.000 on it. It's like that car. You couldn't mistake that 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.680 car in four states from that location if I see it. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.800 If we got an issue, or if my crew and 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.920 your crew got an issue, and you and that motherfucker right, 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.440 I'm I'm going to see you in traffic, and when 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.400 I see you in traffic, if I'm if I'm on feeling, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.160 if I'm if I'm heated, all I gotta do is 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:09.400 wait for my opportunity. Yes me, hold hold up, no seilings, 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.280 g L my man Peter and the ship is not. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.480 We got Uncle Muke back up on this motherfucker once again. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.400 You know what I mean, our resident guests who pops 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.040 in and out feeling me on this conversation right here. Okay, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:30.120 so we get to it. Um. Look, I'm if you 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.679 in the streets, right, you know how this thing go, 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.480 especially if you're screaming war like, you know how this 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.480 thing goes. So I'm not you know, rest in piece 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.880 to Dolf. I'm just looking at us as a community. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.120 How everybody's posting this picture. How other rappers is posting 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.200 a nigger picture. I mean they're talking about his music 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.840 is quote his contribution to the community. Oh, he bought 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.280 a house, a house for every one of his children. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.000 He bought a house every year for his children. Like 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.079 if you knew this other was such a positive influence, right, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.640 this nigga was on like that. Why didn't you know 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.480 all of these legendary rappers posting this picture talking great, 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:14.439 why did we not intercede as a community and say, hey, 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.679 when they put the honey shots in the nigga truck? 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.679 Who the funk puts the honey shots in the nigga truck? 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.640 And how do you make a rap? I can't make 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.400 a rap album for Nick put the honey shots in 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.640 my truck. I gotta get somebody gotta get killed or 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.640 or I need to squash this because this ain't what 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.040 I want. I need to come to the We need 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.360 to find an amicable solution because I'm trying to still 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.120 do my family for me. But if I'm going to 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.080 antagonize you for show, a lot of people gotta get 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:49.000 killed honey shots in my ship. They wasn't trying to miss. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.640 They for sure, I wasn't trying to miss. And then 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:58.400 they shot because yeah, they shot him already and we 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.360 all watched this ship happened. It's not making the front 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.840 headlines like Biggie and Popa was at the time, or 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.240 Easy and and Ruthless or you know, dre Easy like 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.400 well that she was making a front page, you know, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.040 or the news, the beef, you know, pocking all this 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.400 ship making it for a page. Now it's on the 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.800 underground circuit of the news, you know where you might 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.560 be on TMS, but it's not on Channel seven. But 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.920 if the whole culture, every legend that we all look 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.640 up to, and all of us know what I'm saying, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.559 if we all want to rest in peace and to 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.920 talk about the type of nigg he was, why the 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.520 fund did we not getting the motherfucking middle of the 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.880 should say hey, because like, because the nigga is who he, 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.600 you know they're going at it with. I'm not sure 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.920 if these people are responsible for his death, but because 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.480 this is the third or fourth time that the other 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:53.880 three times was the same niggas, I might be into 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.280 thinking that this was them the fourth time. So why 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.120 are we not as a community, because these niggas all 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.319 gotta come out here. So my thinking, we're literally we 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.960 had like the culture that this hip hop has say 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.040 in other places, because you gotta come out and get 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.400 some money, and we all tied into the streets out here, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.920 So literally we could have sat niggas down to say, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.559 because like all that you're shooting at each other, We're 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.240 not gonna do this biggiepox a here. We're not gonna 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.280 do that again, or you're not gonna come to my 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.199 studio record and get me fucking shot up, he said, who, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.199 Or you're not gonna come to my studio in Hollywood 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.280 and record and get me fucking shot up for being 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.480 next to you. Yeah, that's not what I worr about, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.080 because a nigga wouldn't even bring that energy into our ram. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.640 You know. Forgive me for the but but I'm saying 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.280 us like the streets, you know, we shouldn't even if 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.160 we think this the world of this brother, Like if 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.559 we think the world of this brother in this particular 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.040 situation where it was a public beef where niggas was 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.200 getting shot shot at in New Orleans, why are we 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:03.920 not interceding. That's a mistake I think we're making. Or 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.560 it's disingenuine to post this person and say rest in 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.600 peace and you know, capitalize off of him dying and 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.680 just creating and using making social media content out of it, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.120 acting like you really funk with somebody, If we really 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.880 funk with our peers and the niggas that's in this business. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:25.040 Eventually we gotta stand up and do something about certain 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.520 things when you get to this level. Because this ship 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.360 has been lingering. That particular situation has been lingering because 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.640 for like three or four years, and it probably started before, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.680 but I've been aware of it publicly for three or 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.199 four years since two thou it's at this point where 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.520 it would be like if some of this affiliate with 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:49.360 like CML, you know, NIX every Oh my god, I 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:56.680 can't believe. And that's different, right because DNM ain't necessarily 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:04.400 in the business, No labs them still underground niggas like okay, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:13.480 you know what I'm saying, perpetrators of this unless it's 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.920 like is it the young kids or whatever. See that's 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.040 the thing I'm I'm I'm betting it's not the rapper 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.040 at this point, or it's not the niggas he had 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.239 beef with. At that level, they don't have to say, hey, 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.720 um go out here and go do that. Niggas know 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.560 what's on niggas do that for free niggas. No, We're 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:39.040 soon so like like the duds, like what people been 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.720 killed between those two hoods over the last like several years. Like, 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:46.160 but this that's different because lavishing them is still caught 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.360 up in the streets trying to make a transition. So 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.600 it would be a conversation with one person. It ain't 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.960 like a like dollship is like two successful entities at 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.240 the highest levels of of you know what I mean 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.719 in hip hop versus Mazzi indeed trying to get into 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.080 the business. And nigga's not gonna fuck with d because 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.920 they fuck with Marzi. So it's still the streets versus 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.320 a rapper. That that's something you can't really even all 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.480 niggas could really do is sit down with Mazi and 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.560 they wanted to be like, man, may need to figure 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.840 this out, which that ain't how the streets work. But 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:25.760 when it's like, you know, two successful rappers, like we 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.840 was watching it happened, like we see it. What's going 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:33.520 on with with with uh with NBA with young Boy, 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.200 and what's going on with a Dirk. So now that 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:41.920 had already claimed the life, you know, they it's it's 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.120 you see it happening with two high level people where 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.680 it's enough people to n see because no matter who 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.280 you is, I don't gonna suck if you the real 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.200 is rapping in the world that's on some street ship. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.920 You gotta go to all our towns to get some money. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.920 You can't not go to our towns and get some 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.880 money so niggas could have some safe Always felt like 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.840 with the Black Church, the mistake it was making right 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:13.000 was church should be a community center. It ain't necessarily 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.840 they call it a house of worship. You know, we're 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.720 supposed to praise God, but praising God is actually doing 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.800 right by other human beings too. So if it's a 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.560 community center and everybody, let's say, off a hundred and 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.320 sevent team go to this one church. My whole life, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.480 it was people that worked in the community. We talked 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.200 about this before. They had great jobs. It wasn't a ton, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.040 but it might have been three or four who've been 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.400 living there for years. And nobody knew that this man 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.520 worked at Edison for all of these years because he 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.080 looked at us as like hoodlums and he didn't want 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.800 us in front of his house, and so it wasn't 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.440 a real relationship. He used to go to church, but 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.360 he went to church fifteen minutes away, twenty minutes away. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.240 So if we all went to the same church, that 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.040 person could pass on resources like a whole church is 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.360 opposed to, you know, share the communities resources like you 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.640 know when you go to Louisiana and and I haven't 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.880 read up on this, but it struck me like their 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.680 French Catholic you know. That's like the history of Louisiana 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.440 and the areas are called parishes, well like a Catholic 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.200 church community is called a parish. And when there weren't 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.480 a lot of different religions in an area, your parish 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.360 was your one community church. So like in old Italy, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.640 old Sicily, like where my whole family was from, there 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.000 was like that there was one. Like when we see 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.920 with the Morris they have wars, you know, like the 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.720 one church is for the whole neighborhood within a square 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.400 mile or whatever the hell, or in Utah within six 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.600 hundred yards because that's a thousand people. But you know, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.480 it's it's it's kind of like that, and it's what 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.280 it does exist in places with Jewish temples out here, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.360 because you have to go to the temple that's located 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.520 in the area. Like you don't have a right to 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.920 just go to any fucking temple. You like, you're like 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.800 Rabbi Johnson and you I don't rap, no nigga, you 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.600 don't have that because as it ain't about the rabbi 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.240 you like, it's about the community. You know that that 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.080 that you're part of, and you know, whether you like 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.439 to rap by or not, this is your community center, 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.359 this is your temple. And I think that's the issue 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.800 with the Black community. But I always feel like that's 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.359 why the Black church last, say in the neighborhood, because 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.480 they don't have influence. They're not doing right by the 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.640 people there. So many people go to different places. So 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.600 no differently to huh all say, I think to some degree, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.199 also there's a little bit of and I don't want 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:39.199 to put that on like the preachers who run the churches, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:44.399 but it's not one singular like the Jewish churches, like 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:46.560 you have franchise and so to speak. So it's a 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:51.679 little bit more like coordinated singularly, yeah, whereas it's a 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.840 little bit more free market, you know in the Black church, 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.240 because you can open up a Zion temple or whatever herr. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.119 You can open up and men, you can open up 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.600 the Baptist Church of Third Street like so you get 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.879 through to go offst that money and you're good. And 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.040 that's the same thing though. The point I was saying, 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.800 and and to even build off that is we have 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.520 that saying hip hop with everybody involved with it. We 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:23.199 have that safe. We have that safe. We could say, hey, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.119 look y'all niggas need to figure this. Shout nig If 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.440 y'all don't as a community, you're not gonna get no 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:33.320 money out here. That's just stopping. Because l A is 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.760 kind of the Vatican to music, or if not New 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.480 York is close enough, it's the short of Vatican to 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:46.880 entertainment to some degree. So I just think that ship 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.720 is weird, you know what I mean, where we're constantly 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.760 watching these rappers go through the ship, and it's like, 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.679 now people are saying being a rapper is like this 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.080 dangerous job, and I'm like, not really, you know, it's 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.280 only dangerous when you're trying to be more than just 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:05.080 a rapper. Are you trying to be a gang banger 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.000 and a rapper. It's like being a drug dealer and 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.880 a rapper, right, a drug dealer and a gang member. Right. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.280 It's a tough mix because you're don't have to do 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.840 business with all kinds of different characters from different places. 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.760 You're gonna have to do business with different people. So 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:29.720 what save one very high profile incident for all the 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.560 rappers and all the gang culture and all the stuff 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.520 that goes on in l A. For by and large, 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.520 there's really not that. I can think of a lot 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.760 of rappers that got killed over various like hood beats 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.960 in l A history to given the scale, you think 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.520 there'll be a hundred and fifty, you know, in twenty 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:52.080 five years, there's like four maybe tops, you know. Whereas 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.720 like he was like half of the guys whoever recorded 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.840 a screw got killed. You know, that's ridiculus. They took 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:04.439 out like half of all of them. But in other cities, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.159 you know, similarly, a lot of guys get shot in 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:11.640 other parts of the country. Is there like something to say, 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:17.760 like the structural element in l A, like you y 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.240 G or whatever. There wasn't like anything spun off out 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:25.600 of you know, the incidental proximity there or other people 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:30.600 or anything like that. You know. Yeah, but even for 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.480 me it's different, right as a rapper, if I got 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.480 into y G, I funk with a lot of YG 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.760 older homies. I funk with a lot of y G 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.320 homies his age, Nigga's I've been knowing it was young. So, 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.240 but that's like a thing I was talking about the 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:51.120 structure of l A. There's like lineage, whereas like other 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.879 parts of the country, it's just like a group of 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.439 like there's not an intergenerational type of stuff like that. 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.320 You don't see like it is, but it is like 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.200 it's very much just think a lot of the g 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.040 dudes that's in the game, it's just what you said 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:13.400 they disingenuine. It's not it's not it's not all of that, 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.800 you know, that love that they really portraying. They got 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:21.320 some type of bag on their mind when they're dealing 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.360 with these youngsters and the new you know, the new 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.880 generational wrap and seeing okay when young Dolph he kind 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:29.879 of bring this a lot of money. All yeah, you know, 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:31.479 you got to bring a lot of money. Man, if 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.000 I could do a collaboration possibly with them at some point, 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:36.680 you stay a little relevant on both sides. I think 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.280 everybody just trying to they're play in the middle and 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.560 it ain't that big at the deal, like they try 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.560 to make it after now the nigga did you know 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.119 the niggad and got killed. Now they want to post 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.280 him up and oh man, he was this great dude 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:50.960 and this that. And I ain't saying he wasn't a 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:54.440 great dude because I don't know him. I'm just talking about, uh, 0:21:54.520 --> 0:22:00.800 the disingenuineness, if that's a word, uh of what the 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:04.280 older cats is doing, or the order or the catt 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.720 that've been in it long, or the or the bigger 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:10.000 name cats, whatever the case may be. I don't think 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:12.959 it's as genuine as they're trying to portray it when 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.560 they're messing with these dudes. So now when these dudes 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.120 and you know, they know about beasts, they know what's 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.399 going on, they know they know they probably should have 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:25.040 been spoke on it. Um. I've seen um a little 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.680 interview when your boy when he got on Drink Champs, 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:35.160 and I've seen Noriega like, hey man, you know y'all 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.160 you need probably need to just chill man. I mean, 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.040 you know, you gotta be out that area. You can't 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:41.400 be hanging out like that. And I'm wasn't too sure 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.240 if he knew what was going on, but I think 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:46.240 he was just spending some regular what he feeled to 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.480 be some O. I feel that was genuine because I 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.080 don't think he cares about wrapping that now or trying 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:55.040 to get on the tape with nobody just saying you know, 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.040 I've been hearing about the ship. But but my thing, 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.440 he didn't even with that ship. Like, I'm not saying 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.800 it should be left up to one legend or one 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:10.560 peer or one something. As a community, once we see 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:15.280 somebody's life is truly in danger, sometimes you don't get 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:17.040 that because it could be the first incident and then 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.840 it's over, right, But whether the incident is heating up 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:23.040 and now people are getting hurt and shot over it, 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.680 and there's two mainstream entities or NTC is moving around 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:30.720 the country to collect checks, Like we all network with 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.359 each other, our network with dogs, our network with you know, Noriega, 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:38.040 network with Fat Joe, I networked with fee Me, Scarface 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.360 and different people are fellowship with a lot of my 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:45.600
