Speaker 1: Couldn't we wait to get back to this too? Is
Speaker 1: that right? Man? Okay? Um, let's see, Let's start with
Speaker 1: a couple of I made a couple of mistakes, uh,
Speaker 1: either last week or the week before. Um, A couple
Speaker 1: of people hit me up about it. But I had said, Mace,
Speaker 1: we are talking about Mace when we were talking about
Speaker 1: gene deal, and I said, I think Mace was signed
Speaker 1: signed to Bad Boy even before Biggie. But I looked
Speaker 1: it up. Mace and Biggie both signed to bad Boy
Speaker 1: in so they were there at the same exact time.
Speaker 1: And that's the year that Bad Boy was founded, which
Speaker 1: is the same year death Row was founded. Interestingly, Huh,
Speaker 1: both Bad Boy and death Row was founded in. And
Speaker 1: the crazy part about that a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: Bad Boy had Shi was already dealing with him. It
Speaker 1: was just I guess the wrong approach and they wind
Speaker 1: up with them. But and if them two dudes would
Speaker 1: have did it together, it would have been man because
Speaker 1: little By wall and and like Jermanepre Sugar knew all
Speaker 1: of these cats and they would it would have been good.
Speaker 1: Ship was actually making a name for himself with a
Speaker 1: lot of artists before death rows in during the security. Yeah,
Speaker 1: during the yeah, yeah, a lot of people. Okay, another mistake.
Speaker 1: I said a couple of weeks ago, Pop Smoke Rest
Speaker 1: in Peace was killed here in Los Angeles as he
Speaker 1: was born in two thousand. He was actually born in
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, he's a youngster, twenty years old,
Speaker 1: so he would have been twenty one this year. So um,
Speaker 1: I mean, nevertheless, that's still young. My daughter was born
Speaker 1: in two thousand one. So when I see these years
Speaker 1: like thousand, two thousand one, that just it's just weird
Speaker 1: that we're talking about somebody that's dead that was born
Speaker 1: during these years. That's crazy, old man. And they flew
Speaker 1: his body back to New York so they could have
Speaker 1: a funeral farm and uh, that case is still being investigated.
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing else about it other than what
Speaker 1: we talked about before. Unless somebody come and say they
Speaker 1: knew who did it or know what's handing. Ain't nothing
Speaker 1: another I think that I heard that all the house.
Speaker 1: You know, all these houses have cameras, so it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of time. I think those cameras are gonna
Speaker 1: reveal some clues. You can't escape the cameras, man, Well
Speaker 1: you got it. One thing you gotta know about the cameras.
Speaker 1: A lot of cats don't convicted, Robin because the cameras
Speaker 1: are ship. They ain't ship. They don't get a good
Speaker 1: a good picture of on people on them cameras. So
Speaker 1: my foker's know how to avoid those cameras, right, Well,
Speaker 1: one of the go ahead. No, I'm just saying, but
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, nine times out of the team,
Speaker 1: they might you catch one of them, catch that looked
Speaker 1: directly into the camera, chit ching. They sometimes the camera
Speaker 1: quality is not even good exactly, That's what I'm saying. So,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think I think something, something's gonna come up.
Speaker 1: We'll find out. But some of the biggest news right
Speaker 1: now for l A is that Eric Holder, the guy
Speaker 1: that was arrested in charge when Nipsy's murder is might
Speaker 1: be going to trial later this month or early next month.
Speaker 1: That's quick. It is quick. What's it's gonna be one
Speaker 1: year exactly? So yeah, that's that's quick. It is kind
Speaker 1: of quick. I know a lot of catching and ship
Speaker 1: in there three three and a half years right in
Speaker 1: the murder k But you got your right to speedy trial,
Speaker 1: so he might have exercised that right. I don't know
Speaker 1: why J did too O. J got arrested in ninety
Speaker 1: four and was acquitted in J had it, let's get
Speaker 1: it now. It was like, let's do it. So I
Speaker 1: guess Eric Holder is about, you know, let's do it.
Speaker 1: But again, he's on camera qualities a little bit better,
Speaker 1: but it's still like I don't know the dude, so
Speaker 1: I couldn't say, oh, that's Eric Holder, you know. Um.
Speaker 1: And even after seeing his photo and now I know
Speaker 1: what he looks like, I don't look. I can't see that.
Speaker 1: I can't match him to the video, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That's his only defense that it ain't me.
Speaker 1: That's his only defense. So I'm actually gonna sit in
Speaker 1: on that trial. Yeah, I'm just sitting there. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take some notes. Maybe I might write a couple of
Speaker 1: articles about it, and listen to what's going on. It's
Speaker 1: in um Judge Perry's courtroom on the ninth floor in
Speaker 1: downtown l A. And he's the same judge that had
Speaker 1: the Oscar Grant trial from the cop that shot him
Speaker 1: in the backup in Oakland. They moved that trial to
Speaker 1: l A because they felt that they couldn't get a
Speaker 1: fair trial and Oakland. So I know Judge Perry and
Speaker 1: how he runs this court is very strict. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta be there, even though I don't know if
Speaker 1: if this is legal, but courtroom is supposed to be
Speaker 1: open to the public. But this trial right here gonna
Speaker 1: take a minute, though, Yes, you might take a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. I think about three weeks probably, But Judge Perry,
Speaker 1: if you're not there at a thirty am when the
Speaker 1: doors open, he you you can't get in until there's
Speaker 1: a break. So that's one of the things that sometimes
Speaker 1: you missed, that opening door. But most court trials, most courtrooms,
Speaker 1: you just walk in and out anytime. I won't even
Speaker 1: want to shoot in there. Now. It's boring, yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit. It's boring, but all the legal things are
Speaker 1: interesting to me, So every part of it is going
Speaker 1: to be interesting. To me at least, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: can get born. I'm just saying. Being on the other side,
Speaker 1: and then sitting at that table, you have seen a
Speaker 1: lot of cats. They don't trial, but they're going to
Speaker 1: sleep because the jurors be sleeping. Half times. You don't
Speaker 1: understand half of the ship that's saying anyway, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about. So let's talk about
Speaker 1: this on one story that you brought up earlier, James,
Speaker 1: Oh god, this Atlanta police officer, female cop named Keisha Richberg.
Speaker 1: What's seen doing? What taking money out of a dead
Speaker 1: out of the dead man wallet? And and this and
Speaker 1: I wish Reggie was here for this one because me
Speaker 1: and Reggie go in on this. What do you think
Speaker 1: Reggie would say about that man? I can't put no
Speaker 1: words in his mouth, but I know he has said
Speaker 1: something to tick me off, you know. And and and
Speaker 1: it's crazy that we we here you got a brother
Speaker 1: on the ground dead, and then here you got a
Speaker 1: and ain't saying all it's only all white people or
Speaker 1: police officers that bad. You got some bad black cops too,
Speaker 1: just bad cops in general. You don't even have to
Speaker 1: put a black and white on it. You just got
Speaker 1: bad cops. Period. You're supposed to be taking all of
Speaker 1: this man property, putting it in a plastic bag for
Speaker 1: to give to the parents, or go to the morgue
Speaker 1: with him, and here you are putting this money in
Speaker 1: your pocket. You should be fired. You should be charged
Speaker 1: with robbery, and you should get convicted, just like they
Speaker 1: would convict one of us. Well, she didn't get fired
Speaker 1: once they looked at the bodycam footage. Once again, bodycam
Speaker 1: footage is revealing all of the crookedness of the police
Speaker 1: officers across America. Man, don't you think that's the stupid ship.
Speaker 1: They know they got their body cam on them and
Speaker 1: they're still doing like do they want to just get caught?
Speaker 1: I think what it is is the bodycam footage never
Speaker 1: gets looked at unless they take random checks of it.
Speaker 1: So there's no way that the bodycam footage for every
Speaker 1: cop every day gets even you know, they put the database,
Speaker 1: they need to start watching it and they probably get
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of emos m B. Yeah, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to hire people whose job it is just to
Speaker 1: look at the footage, and they should actually use an
Speaker 1: outside entity, not someone within the police department and to
Speaker 1: expose every last one of them. And I think it's
Speaker 1: just I just think it's sad that. And you know
Speaker 1: they used to do this back in the days. If
Speaker 1: you have money and you got killed everybody. I know
Speaker 1: that was in the morgue when they got that property.
Speaker 1: Like when my mom's got my brother's property, he just
Speaker 1: cast his check, his death row check. But when they
Speaker 1: gave up his property, he didn't have a diame in it.
Speaker 1: No money. So these people from the morgues take your money, everybody. No,
Speaker 1: don't put your homie in a gang of diamonds and
Speaker 1: stuff money in the casket. Those cats that bury you,
Speaker 1: they're gonna dig your ass up and get that out
Speaker 1: of there. They're gonna take them rings off your body.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And it's crazy. This's been
Speaker 1: having for a long time. But now you gotta police
Speaker 1: officer got caught doing it. Could it be the paramedics
Speaker 1: took the money um out of your brother's pocket. No, no,
Speaker 1: they ain't got time for that. The trying when the
Speaker 1: paramedics get you, and especially in the shooting, the paramedics
Speaker 1: automatically cut you, just cut all your clothing off, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They ain't trying to dig in
Speaker 1: your pocket and going for your wallet. Now, everything that
Speaker 1: that he had was placed in the bag. They just
Speaker 1: take it and put it in a in a brown bag.
Speaker 1: Did they do surgery on him and try to save
Speaker 1: his life or was he found dead at the scene. No,
Speaker 1: he was found dead at the scene. They rushed him away.
Speaker 1: So you know the thing is now if if if
Speaker 1: the body is still there, people coming and people are
Speaker 1: gonna get upset. And then crazy ship happened after that.
Speaker 1: So they put him in the ambulant and they took
Speaker 1: him to St. Francis. So put him in there, and
Speaker 1: he was already uh dead on the arrival. So they
Speaker 1: set you in the room and then they have the
Speaker 1: the priest come in and talk to the family close
Speaker 1: don't talk to the family. I had a problem that
Speaker 1: day because they didn't want to let us see him,
Speaker 1: and it was y'all got me funked up. So me
Speaker 1: and the security and they're tussling, going at it. A
Speaker 1: matter of fact, the motherucker dropped his phone. I kicked
Speaker 1: his phone in and broke his ship up, and uh
Speaker 1: whenning the homeboys picked up the phone and put in
Speaker 1: his pocket. But anyway, uh, tussling with them. I want
Speaker 1: to see my brother. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: don't give what y'all got going on. So the priest
Speaker 1: guy got me in the room. He talking to me,
Speaker 1: if we let you see your brother. The officer gotta
Speaker 1: go in there, YadA, y'ada, shower my little homeboy, Kevin
Speaker 1: Woods went in there with me, and uh, and just
Speaker 1: to just to like see it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They I couldn't touch him whatsoever, and so I agreed
Speaker 1: to that, and just seeing him there and just just
Speaker 1: like wow, you know what I'm saying. And no clothes,
Speaker 1: no nothing, you know what I'm saying. And it was
Speaker 1: like the same way every time, you know, my own
Speaker 1: boy Cann each others died in my arms, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And just to see that that last
Speaker 1: broth your belly swell UM's. It was crazy. It was crazy,
Speaker 1: just like being in there for my brother and and
Speaker 1: just sitting there talking and it's just like when they
Speaker 1: could get up, you know, this is the first time
Speaker 1: you've been hit. But he was shot with the a
Speaker 1: K eleven times, I think, so just just the whole factor.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Come on, man, because his
Speaker 1: eyes was was cocked. And that's the coldest thing I
Speaker 1: advised man. If if you don't want to dream it,
Speaker 1: if you don't want to remember it, it's something you're
Speaker 1: gonna remember for the rest of your life. The way
Speaker 1: he looked, the way his eyes was cocked, and you've
Speaker 1: only seen like half of a vision, and and him
Speaker 1: just laying on that table. Feel me right now in
Speaker 1: the day, it's like yesterday I saw him. Is it
Speaker 1: is a sin you'll never forget. So so you know
Speaker 1: for sure that he should have had more possessions on
Speaker 1: him exactly, and it didn't come up. No, his his
Speaker 1: question his ring. No, I didn't know. I didn't know
Speaker 1: at that time. You know they they only give that
Speaker 1: to to my mom's you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: when all was said and done, well, he just cast
Speaker 1: his check. He wear his ring at you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Um, he didn't have his chain, his death
Speaker 1: row chain on, but that was in the in the
Speaker 1: property bag. So I guess they figured, man, you can't
Speaker 1: wear his chain over where. You know what I'm saying. Everybody,
Speaker 1: you know, so the chain was in the bag, but
Speaker 1: his his his paycheck wasn't there the while it was
Speaker 1: in there, but his ring wasn't in there. And then
Speaker 1: back then there were nobody. Well, if it was the
Speaker 1: more of them, that's probably just what they do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I know a lot of cash out
Speaker 1: there agree with me. A lot of they know that
Speaker 1: people have money. They know he had this paper, but
Speaker 1: they know. Don't nobody question that at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. Don't nobody question it. So it's it's just
Speaker 1: something easy to do. Well, this, this officer in Atlanta
Speaker 1: is accused of stealing five bucks out of the victim's pocket,
Speaker 1: and um, I guess once the video surfaced, she was
Speaker 1: fired immediately. But don't fire me, don't fire them. They should.
Speaker 1: She should have been arrested. I mean you, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the lowers you can go. You take it from
Speaker 1: a dead man, You robbed the dead man. So that's robbery,
Speaker 1: am I right? Okay, So she should have been charged
Speaker 1: with robbery. I don't even see it don't matter, it
Speaker 1: shouldn't matter. Well, um, well she's fired, But like you
Speaker 1: said on a previous episode of The Gangster Chronicles, she's
Speaker 1: just gonna go to another police department and and that's
Speaker 1: the sad thing. But then you want you want your community,
Speaker 1: you want all these people to to trust in you
Speaker 1: take off that servant protection off the side of your
Speaker 1: police car, because that ain't what you're here for. That
Speaker 1: ain't what you're here for. And and like I, man,
Speaker 1: I encourage everybody that see this and notice, man, you
Speaker 1: just can't deal with him like that. You don't know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to you. You don't know what that
Speaker 1: police officer woke up in the morning before you put
Speaker 1: that uniform on thinking about. And that's some scary ship,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You got cats out there
Speaker 1: getting their ass will because wife he didn't do what
Speaker 1: she had her wife. He duties to this officer and
Speaker 1: he piste off. He comes to work and take it
Speaker 1: out on the people that you come in counter with.
Speaker 1: And that's that's some cold ship. So how you know
Speaker 1: if if, if, if you're here to help me, are
Speaker 1: you here to harm me? You don't know. So that's
Speaker 1: why you probably got so many people feeling a certain
Speaker 1: kind of way about when the police start talking to you.
Speaker 1: Because if you start off fucked up, then we've been
Speaker 1: just being a funked up situation and everybody just ain't come.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's she should she should have been charged
Speaker 1: with robbery. Well, the victim was Jamal Harris and he
Speaker 1: got shot shot in the head, and I guess she
Speaker 1: was the first officer to respond to the scene. Didn't
Speaker 1: put it in the bag. She put the wallet in
Speaker 1: the car with her. So when you first see the wallet,
Speaker 1: the wallet is fat, so then just five one bills,
Speaker 1: so she take it. She probably thought it was more,
Speaker 1: but she stuffed it. Now when she get out the
Speaker 1: car to take the wallet, you gotta watch the video.
Speaker 1: The wallet is flat. So she knew exactly what she
Speaker 1: was doing because she took all of it. She took
Speaker 1: all of it. And it don't matter if she black, white,
Speaker 1: Mexican or whatever. She a police officer hired to serve
Speaker 1: and protect that man on the ground dead. You're not
Speaker 1: only disrespect his body, but you committed you committed a crime. Well,
Speaker 1: so far she hasn't been charged with any crime, but um,
Speaker 1: it's still early. You never know. They might charge the story.
Speaker 1: But they don't have to come back two weeks later
Speaker 1: to figure this out. They don't take a rocket scientist.
Speaker 1: If if if if the police officers at the center
Speaker 1: of the crime, and I go over to this dead
Speaker 1: man body and take his wallet out of his back
Speaker 1: pocket and take something out of it and put it
Speaker 1: in my pocket. What they gonna do. You're going to jail.
Speaker 1: I'm going to jail. I got a case. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: what makes them different? Man? That's that's that's just my
Speaker 1: whole thing with everything. Ain't nobody different here? Yeah? She was.
Speaker 1: She was never arrested because this is a story that
Speaker 1: happened in two thousand nineteen, So there are no updates
Speaker 1: on this officer ever getting charged or getting arrested or
Speaker 1: anything like that. Just she was just fired, just terminated
Speaker 1: from a job. And uh, that's about it. So but
Speaker 1: I got a story that's a little bit closer to home. Man.
Speaker 1: A Guardina police officer got thirty three months. He was
Speaker 1: sentenced this week thirty three months in prison for selling
Speaker 1: illegal guns on the streets of l A where you
Speaker 1: think them guns came from. He got these guns from
Speaker 1: using his officer access. He was able to get what's
Speaker 1: called unlisted guns because he's a cop. But he decided
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slang these guns and he got caught selling
Speaker 1: these guns um on the streets to whoever. So this
Speaker 1: is a police officer taking unlisted guns because he cops
Speaker 1: have access to these guns at different gun places and
Speaker 1: started selling them. But you won't believe where he was
Speaker 1: selling these guns at other than you know, eventually he's
Speaker 1: meeting dudes on the streets. But you won't believe how
Speaker 1: he was advertising the selling these guns. Man, he was advertising.
Speaker 1: He was advertising. We talked about this with pop Smoke
Speaker 1: and a lot of rappers that being doing too much online.
Speaker 1: This cops set up an Instagram page was putting out
Speaker 1: he had these guns available under of course like an
Speaker 1: alias name UM. And he eventually got caught and he
Speaker 1: was sentenced to almost three years in the federal federal prison.
Speaker 1: His name is Carlos Fernandez. He's forty four years old.
Speaker 1: He's from Norwalk and he was charged with selling about
Speaker 1: a hundred guns and got two and a half years,
Speaker 1: two years, seven months. Yeah. Now once again, if you
Speaker 1: get lookay, let me ask you, James, if you got
Speaker 1: if you got pulled over and you had a hundred
Speaker 1: guns in your trunk and you was accused of selling them,
Speaker 1: you think you can get two years, no life in prison,
Speaker 1: far far away from this mother pucker. Yeah, So that
Speaker 1: that's your my whole thing. Man. If if if I
Speaker 1: know I'm on the bad side, I know I'm on
Speaker 1: the bad side, and I know him what I'm doing
Speaker 1: is wrong. But if you're a police officer and you
Speaker 1: you know you ain't on this side, you ain't cut
Speaker 1: from the same club as me, And then here you
Speaker 1: are today committing the same fucking crimes I'm doing. Why
Speaker 1: the time ain't ain't the same? I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: great question, man, because I'm almost certain that any civilian
Speaker 1: that was caught selling a hundred illegal firearms, it's gonna
Speaker 1: get more than two and a half. You got catching
Speaker 1: the penitentiary right now, doing ten doing fifteen years for
Speaker 1: a pistol, And that's just like being on parole. Here
Speaker 1: you are. You got a police officer, got caught selling
Speaker 1: over a huney guns two and a half years you
Speaker 1: lord ship, Come on, man, this it sucks. So he
Speaker 1: would use his identification to buy guns at firearm shows.
Speaker 1: He was selling what was what's called off roster firearms
Speaker 1: uh Colt thirty eight caliber guns which were not available
Speaker 1: to the general public, but which could be legally purchased
Speaker 1: by law enforcement. So he was buying these guns and
Speaker 1: then slanging. But look under the pretenses because he was
Speaker 1: a police officer, that should be double. Yeah, that should
Speaker 1: be double. I agree, like and and and and and
Speaker 1: nobody else looking at it like that. It's like, how
Speaker 1: does guy didn't get ten years? The average the average
Speaker 1: person is gonna say, oh, where they caught him? Funk
Speaker 1: that they caught him? Why he ain't doing the same
Speaker 1: time I did for a pistol. I don't. I got
Speaker 1: caught with one pistol two and a half years. You
Speaker 1: gotta catch that got the second time getting caught with
Speaker 1: a pistol doing ten And the thing about it, you
Speaker 1: don't know how many crimes that these hundred firearms have
Speaker 1: been involved in since he sold them, so that his
Speaker 1: ship should have you know, So whine the hill is
Speaker 1: he here only got two and a half years. And
Speaker 1: this is part of the Justice Department statement. They said
Speaker 1: Fernandez exploited his position as a police officer to ensure
Speaker 1: the success of his illegal gun selling business. Doesn't that
Speaker 1: just sound like more than two and a half years
Speaker 1: is illegal gun selling business? And they know this already,
Speaker 1: So why did he only get two and a half
Speaker 1: years they got him dead to write? Yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: think officers are usually giving shorter sentences this bottom line.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least at least he's going to the pen.
Speaker 1: Well you know what, you see that that's at least
Speaker 1: that's a free ticket. That's short, that's selling the whole
Speaker 1: thing short, Alex. Yeah. Fuck, at least motherfucker's need to
Speaker 1: start fighting for that. If if a police officer get
Speaker 1: caught doing what I'm doing, he should be subject to
Speaker 1: the same motherfucking time that I get. What makes a
Speaker 1: police officer different from me? Just because he went bad?
Speaker 1: That should be worser. Yeah, you gotta think about this
Speaker 1: police officer doing all of this ship, think about the
Speaker 1: catch that he doesn't got put in jail. Everything should
Speaker 1: be looked at about this police officer. Well, hopefully they're
Speaker 1: looking at everything Callos Fernando's has done as a police
Speaker 1: officer at the city of Guardena. And for those who
Speaker 1: don't know that are listening to the Gangster Chronicles outside
Speaker 1: the United States, outside of California, Guardena is just south
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles and a little west of Compton. You know,
Speaker 1: right up the street right up the street. So you know,
Speaker 1: most of us know Guardina very well, and I just
Speaker 1: tripped out he was using Instagram. Also, you know this
Speaker 1: is what this is. A bold guy put these guns
Speaker 1: on Instagram. We already know. Just because your cop don't
Speaker 1: mean you don't think like a criminal and you fux
Speaker 1: up thinking like you're gonna get away with it just
Speaker 1: because you changed the name. It don't work that way. Well,
Speaker 1: there was another officer. I don't know if this was
Speaker 1: his partner, Edward Arroyo, he's forty nine years old. He
Speaker 1: was also found guilty, but a judge granted him a
Speaker 1: new trial because there was an error in his in
Speaker 1: his original trial. So Edward Arriyo, forty nine years old,
Speaker 1: will be facing the same charges as Carlos Fernandez was
Speaker 1: facing in a new trial coming up later this year.
Speaker 1: So he wasn't the only cop doing it. There was
Speaker 1: another cop. Okay, So you gotta look into the department
Speaker 1: and see, this is what they need to do. They
Speaker 1: need to get a counsel. If they can get somebody
Speaker 1: to police them, then the police won't be so so
Speaker 1: quick to jump into stupid ship like this. And I'm
Speaker 1: talking about they're not police officers. You got the FBI,
Speaker 1: But the FBI play the game, but they're on the
Speaker 1: same team sometimes. Well, see, cases like this should be
Speaker 1: investigated by Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office headed by
Speaker 1: Jackie Lacey, but she never investigates the police. This is
Speaker 1: the FEDS. FEDS busted these guys, not the not the
Speaker 1: l a d A. You know, because the l a
Speaker 1: d A rarely investigates cops because they don't they worked together.
Speaker 1: So yeah, at least again he's going to prison. I
Speaker 1: know it's a little short, a little short sentence. He got,
Speaker 1: uh two and a half almost three years, but he
Speaker 1: can never be a cop again, that's for sure. He's
Speaker 1: a convicted feeling that that isn't even the point. I mean,
Speaker 1: just think what he can do now. I ain't no
Speaker 1: cop no more, and I don't can really get out
Speaker 1: there and do his thing. He don't have access to
Speaker 1: buying all these guns like he did. He used to
Speaker 1: whip out his his guardina police idea and get access
Speaker 1: to all the guns he wanted it. Okay, um, well
Speaker 1: we'll see, uh Carlos Fernandez going to prison. Another police
Speaker 1: officer going to prison and probably be in the camp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's probably in there. Were um going to a camp
Speaker 1: with Reggie. He ain't gonna be in there with Reggie,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be in the camp. He should do
Speaker 1: hard time that to that two and a half years
Speaker 1: should be the longest time year ever ever did anywhere. Well,
Speaker 1: I think Reggie's isn't camp for under two years because
Speaker 1: Reggie got eighteen months, just two and a half. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, Lee Baca is in the camp and
Speaker 1: he got three years. So yeah, Carlos Fernandez is probably
Speaker 1: gonna go to a federal camp. Uh maybe the same
Speaker 1: campus Reggie. Maybe the one that Lie Bacca is at
Speaker 1: in Texas. So, um, you saw this video James of
Speaker 1: the husband of Jackie Lacey, the d A, pulling a
Speaker 1: strap out because the protesters came on his property at
Speaker 1: five o'clock in the morning. Um, well that was Molina
Speaker 1: Abdulah from Black Lives Matter. She's also a old friend
Speaker 1: of mine. She went to USC with me back in
Speaker 1: the day. But do you think he was room for
Speaker 1: doing that? Uh? I mean these protesters are unarmed. I
Speaker 1: don't know what people are gonna say. You step on
Speaker 1: my private property. I'm pulling the strap out on you, right,
Speaker 1: But you gotta you can only pull your strap out
Speaker 1: if you feel threatened. I know Molina personally, she ain't
Speaker 1: doing nothing that's threatening. She wasn't her, but she knocked
Speaker 1: on the door. Her and two other Black Lives Matters
Speaker 1: were on the porch knocking on the door. He pulls
Speaker 1: out a gun and says, get off my property. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's wrong because, for number one,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to do You shouldn't work on
Speaker 1: private property knocking on my door like that. I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk. If I ain't got nothing to say to you,
Speaker 1: there's no need for you to be persistent. All he
Speaker 1: gotta do is to say I got no common and
Speaker 1: slammed the door. Well, he could have did it that way,
Speaker 1: but he man. Media always knocking on people's door because
Speaker 1: they want the story. Yeah, but what protesters are gonna
Speaker 1: do too? What happened? If somebody knocked your head off
Speaker 1: just from knocking on my door, you gotta think, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is your job, but you want to go home too.
Speaker 1: But then you gotta say, oh, these three women from
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, I felt threatened by them. Come on,
Speaker 1: I didn't even see the women. No, you couldn't see
Speaker 1: call I heard her say it was Oh, he pointed
Speaker 1: his gun at my chest. I mean if he pointed
Speaker 1: it like like to be really like, I'll shoot your motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Get the I mean when you look at that video,
Speaker 1: he's got his finger on the trigger. Now, a lot
Speaker 1: of times, you a lot of times you can put
Speaker 1: your finger on the outside because you're not sure if
Speaker 1: you're gonna shoot or not. No, he had his finger.
Speaker 1: And if you said I didn't even have bullets in
Speaker 1: the damn gun. I just wanted to scare him. It's
Speaker 1: still I mean, it's and then it's an unloaded weapon
Speaker 1: that he used to intimidate and threaten people. He used
Speaker 1: it to intimidate to jail, did he know, Yeah, well
Speaker 1: it just happened. So they said there's an investigation. But
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that Jackie Lacy, that would mean that
Speaker 1: Jackie Lacy's office, the wife's office, would have to charge
Speaker 1: the husband. That ain't gonna happen, right, that ain't gonna happen. Um.
Speaker 1: But again, what if that was you or me we
Speaker 1: pull out a gun because we got the media on
Speaker 1: our front door, or we got some protests at our
Speaker 1: front door. I think we might get arrested because there's
Speaker 1: no threat. I don't. I don't think you come to
Speaker 1: your door, uh with a with a pistol. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think you could go to jail man. You
Speaker 1: just chill them to get off your property. You can't
Speaker 1: brandish a weapon when there's no threat property. You can
Speaker 1: you can, you can. You can pull out your pistol
Speaker 1: in your house if you choose to. Long as you
Speaker 1: on your on your property and somebody is there, I'm
Speaker 1: willingly you can run as your frown. There still needs
Speaker 1: to be a threat. The threat is y'all my yo.
Speaker 1: See when you look at it, you're looking at threat
Speaker 1: as if they like finning with the fishballs finning come
Speaker 1: and get at you, or they got sticks or weapon
Speaker 1: in their hands coming towards you. That's not just a threat.
Speaker 1: I learned that going to jail. That's that's that's not
Speaker 1: the only threat. You being in in in my circle,
Speaker 1: in my space is a threat. I feel threatened by
Speaker 1: your presence. Well, I mean you could you could argue that,
Speaker 1: but that's that's my arguy. But it's gotta be a
Speaker 1: reasonable threat. Though it is a reasonable threat. The reason
Speaker 1: you are on my property coming at me, knocking on
Speaker 1: my door, I wanted to ask questions. I told you
Speaker 1: to leave once you start my pistol. You should have
Speaker 1: took that as a threat and turned around and left.
Speaker 1: But no, y'all stood there. You're my property. I'm not
Speaker 1: at your door. So anything that comes to me is
Speaker 1: physically is a threat to me. Well, Jackie Lacy apologized
Speaker 1: the next day for us. Obviously she thought it was wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, I apologize because look, look position that put
Speaker 1: her in. That my husband put a gun on unarmed women.
Speaker 1: Now all of these people gonna go bam, whether they
Speaker 1: are armed or not, whether they are not arm or not.
Speaker 1: You got some dangers. Asked women out there that that
Speaker 1: that whopped me and ass well, I think I think
Speaker 1: Jackie Lacy's husband was a little over the top of that.
Speaker 1: He could have been a little bit, especially when he
Speaker 1: opened the door. I mean, we gotta look at shipped
Speaker 1: from all different angles, all different types of views. Now
Speaker 1: when he opened the door, all he could have said
Speaker 1: his op, Okay, I'm quite sure you know who they are.
Speaker 1: Of course, so they ain't no threat to me. Y'all
Speaker 1: get the of my porch. He could have took set
Speaker 1: the set the pistol behind the door, Get get off
Speaker 1: my damn port. That's all he had to say. I'm
Speaker 1: calling police and press charges on you. And then that's
Speaker 1: all he had to do. What he just felt angry
Speaker 1: and took it upon his ship to do it the
Speaker 1: way he felt he needed to do it. Gonna threaten
Speaker 1: these mother fuckers, I'm gonna let these motherfucker's know, don't
Speaker 1: come on my portion no more. And that could get
Speaker 1: him in that can name him in jail. Dude, Um,
Speaker 1: does it? Does it have any doesn't matter to you
Speaker 1: that it was five am in the morning. That's what
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying. It's five am. Shouldn't
Speaker 1: be knocking on anyone's door at five am. That's true too.
Speaker 1: What the funk y'all doing knocking on my door at
Speaker 1: five in the morning, y'all know, motherfucker's asleep. You know
Speaker 1: how people talk black, especially black people. You wait me
Speaker 1: to funk up at three o'clock in the morning. What
Speaker 1: the fund? What you want? Hey? All the Black Lives Matter.
Speaker 1: All they wanted to do was talk to Jackie Lazy
Speaker 1: about you see, that's what people get it, get it twisted.
Speaker 1: So what they could have found a better time to
Speaker 1: conversate about that. I think they realized Jackie Lacy is
Speaker 1: not doing no talking. So once you start avoiding the
Speaker 1: people winning my case from avoiding the community. If they
Speaker 1: realized that, then they shouldn't even went to the man
Speaker 1: house to their home. That's when you get personal when
Speaker 1: you bring that ship to my house. Yeah, wait, they're
Speaker 1: gonna come outside. Sooner or later, they're gonna come out.
Speaker 1: But look, if he would have bust on one of them,
Speaker 1: he would have been in big trouble. If he just
Speaker 1: shot one of them, then yeah, yeah, he's a fun
Speaker 1: because now the threat wasn't that serious, The intent wasn't
Speaker 1: that serious for you to shoot him. So now that
Speaker 1: the ship changes, you see what I'm saying. And that's
Speaker 1: for a situation to be here and then elevate you here.
Speaker 1: It's two different things. Well, that old man needs to
Speaker 1: be careful whipping a strap out like that because somebody
Speaker 1: knocking on your door and they want to talk. His
Speaker 1: wife is a public official, she's an elected official. You
Speaker 1: put you in the limelight, that's what comes with it.
Speaker 1: People knocking on your door, protest and all of that. Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you put yourself there. But I mean, even though people
Speaker 1: still have to respect you, you're gangster in me that
Speaker 1: you respect my house. At least now when I come
Speaker 1: to work, you can talk ship to me all the
Speaker 1: way through the elevator. You can get on the elevator
Speaker 1: with me. I can't stop that. But at home, I
Speaker 1: think it is different. Did you ever have situations where
Speaker 1: the media or people who wanted to access death Row
Speaker 1: and y'all were just like, get out of here, we
Speaker 1: ain't talking to you all, we ain't got no comment,
Speaker 1: and you gotta kind of shoot them, shoot them off.
Speaker 1: You had a lot of that at Snoop Dogg travel
Speaker 1: and and you know they don't care. They want that picture,
Speaker 1: they want that conversation. If you just say two words,
Speaker 1: they're gonna use that two words. And I think they
Speaker 1: needed to to fix it. You got, you got some
Speaker 1: of them photographers getting sucked on. Man, respect my privacy,
Speaker 1: and that's some of the that's that's the most motherucker's
Speaker 1: acting for respect my privacy. I got my kid. But
Speaker 1: you know much this picture gonna be worth? And that's
Speaker 1: what they're thinking. So Am I wrong for for keeping
Speaker 1: my child out and out of out of danger? Am
Speaker 1: I wrong for these foods? Just by any means that
Speaker 1: they open your car doing roll the window down? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Get your get your, get your
Speaker 1: your your your pictures and in your interview some other
Speaker 1: kind of way. Well, I mean that once, once you're
Speaker 1: a celebrity, or once you're out there like Snoop or
Speaker 1: that don't mean you can come to the territory. But
Speaker 1: it don't mean you can invade. You don't have to
Speaker 1: invade my privacy. You see, what I'm saying is a
Speaker 1: way to get that interview, is a way to get
Speaker 1: that picture. You know what I'm saying. Some celebrities don't
Speaker 1: want to be taking you know, you're taking their pictures.
Speaker 1: Why because some of these photographers take those pictures and
Speaker 1: and and do all kind of crazy ship with the pictures.
Speaker 1: And why should you just make money off me like that? Now,
Speaker 1: if I'm to sit in and pose all day and
Speaker 1: Papa ROSSI just bam bam bam, that's cool. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: allowing you to do that. But when you crawled through
Speaker 1: my bedroom window or sitting on the beach and with
Speaker 1: your long lives and taking pictures of me privately and
Speaker 1: I don't know, and then now you're putting these pictures
Speaker 1: out there. That's a violation respect, my motherucking privacy. How
Speaker 1: do you feel when people are recognize you out in public,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure you get a lot of that. I'm
Speaker 1: good with it, man, I'm loving it. Man. I go
Speaker 1: to Walgreens, I'm just leaving here when I was going
Speaker 1: to uh find and find and find them that people
Speaker 1: got lost and uh god, coming out of the sushi place, James,
Speaker 1: that's my gage, Quana. I love that, man, just to
Speaker 1: be recognized like that, and I look at it. It's love.
Speaker 1: I ain't had nobody chasing me in the car trying
Speaker 1: to take my picture whatever. But me personally, man, I
Speaker 1: love the attention and I love everything that that that
Speaker 1: people is bringing towards me. So I wouldn't have a problem.
Speaker 1: You can knock on my door at six in the
Speaker 1: morning and say we want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: who the whoo whoa how you feel I'm gonna conversate.
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of these people right now today
Speaker 1: got my my personal phone number, and I sit back
Speaker 1: and drink my coffee, and I'm shooting the ship with
Speaker 1: people I don't know. But I have made a lot
Speaker 1: of friends here. I got a little, little little kid.
Speaker 1: His name is Matthew. North Carolina, South Carolina. Y'all, don't don't,
Speaker 1: don't be mad at me. I get it wrong. But
Speaker 1: he said I'm his hero. I'm like, no, he didn't
Speaker 1: say that. The whole family watches games of Chronicles to
Speaker 1: show their kids that this is what black kids go through,
Speaker 1: so they don't have to be like that. And man,
Speaker 1: she had me like man like on some wow. And
Speaker 1: just the comments and and the and the things that
Speaker 1: I give from people, it's it's overwhelmed me. It's overwhelm me.
Speaker 1: But Matthew is my new friend, little guy. What's up
Speaker 1: to you, Matthew? And and you know, your hero is
Speaker 1: supposed to be your dad, your mom. You know that
Speaker 1: I can't see myself as that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I see myself as a dude that funked up big time,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And all I wanna do
Speaker 1: is give back. All I want to do is let
Speaker 1: people know they don't have to live the way I did.
Speaker 1: You feel me, you don't have to put a gun
Speaker 1: in your pocket. You don't have to carry that pistol
Speaker 1: on your hill. You know what I'm saying. Motherfucker like me,
Speaker 1: gotta carry it, gotta have it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I ain't know if I would have should have
Speaker 1: cut us and them because they lived it yet and
Speaker 1: they don't never want to have to say that. So
Speaker 1: I'm just loving that, dude, I'm just loving that. Well,
Speaker 1: it looks like Jackie Lacey is gonna win another term.
Speaker 1: She barely won um with the polls and she's got
Speaker 1: fifth the point one percent of the vote, and that's
Speaker 1: all she needed to win more than fifty. If if
Speaker 1: that one percent of the tally comes in and gives
Speaker 1: one of the the challengers enough votes where she's forty
Speaker 1: nine percent, then they're gonna have another election in the fall.
Speaker 1: But if she could stay above, she's in and she's
Speaker 1: I don't follow that apology. What the hell is she do? Um?
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people from Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: and and other organizations feel like she hasn't been tough
Speaker 1: on police when it comes to shootings and murders and
Speaker 1: killings and all of that stuff. You think, well, she
Speaker 1: will not stay in position long enough. If you took
Speaker 1: that approach, you ain't gonna be there long. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: there's some d A s around the country that have
Speaker 1: prosecuted more than one cop. She's only got one cop
Speaker 1: prosecuted under on her. Maybe she'd make more money, not
Speaker 1: even Plus, as a black woman, we were back thing
Speaker 1: a little bit more from her, considering that she understands
Speaker 1: our experience and where we come from, the things that
Speaker 1: we go through. But as a d A, she's acting
Speaker 1: like everybody just another d A. You know, put me
Speaker 1: into give me the d respect. All black people have
Speaker 1: power to make a change. I expect for them to
Speaker 1: have more sympathy and more understanding for people of color.
Speaker 1: That's why they get put in the office in the
Speaker 1: first place. Who who do you think put these people
Speaker 1: of color in office? Who's gonna put black people in office?
Speaker 1: These people don't come out and really fucking understand what
Speaker 1: the fund is going on in the community and sitting
Speaker 1: in the office and then looking at this goddamn this
Speaker 1: book just panthered into saying, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to find me something new to speak on that.
Speaker 1: Come on, you're not in it. You've got other people
Speaker 1: doing your homework for you. So where how is that
Speaker 1: going to help the neighborhood, the community? How is that
Speaker 1: going to help anything? People? Will power is just in power.
Speaker 1: Everybody is doing what they have to do to eat.
Speaker 1: They ain't worried about the next motherfucker. They're just trying
Speaker 1: to keep that seat. This is how I think, because
Speaker 1: if you want to make a change, man, especially being
Speaker 1: there where you act, it ain't hard to do it. Ain't.
Speaker 1: Look what we're doing right here, sitting at the table, conversating,
Speaker 1: making a change, and a whole bunch of cats making
Speaker 1: them think different and see that it's another way out
Speaker 1: opposed to being violent. Why they can't do that? They
Speaker 1: got the power. They can fix a lot of ship.
Speaker 1: They can. They can build a building and put a
Speaker 1: building here and and open that building and put kids
Speaker 1: in there, teaching them ship. You know what I'm saying. So,
Speaker 1: but they're not doing that. Everything is read paperwork, Everything
Speaker 1: is this. Everything is a process, and don't have to
Speaker 1: be a process. This world big enough. That building been
Speaker 1: vacant for seven years, seven years, that that motherfucker hold
Speaker 1: at least three hundred motherfucking homeless people. But you got
Speaker 1: all of them sitting by Angel Stadium, and then they
Speaker 1: put you out of that, motherfucker because you're homeless. Come on,
Speaker 1: where do I go? If I'm already on my ass,
Speaker 1: I'm already to the curb? What can you kick me?
Speaker 1: How can't you keep kicking me? Put that? Get that
Speaker 1: building and put motherfucker's in this building. Give them jobs.
Speaker 1: You're creating jobs because then here working and doing all
Speaker 1: this other ship. The people that's in there, you put
Speaker 1: them through school and you you make them work to live,
Speaker 1: and that that that builds you from around and everything
Speaker 1: else back up. Now they can go out there and
Speaker 1: get a real goddamn job a homeless man. You'll be
Speaker 1: surprised how many smart motherfucker's out there living on the
Speaker 1: street because they can't a forward this eighteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a month. They can't do it. Your girlfriend leave, nigga,
Speaker 1: you must will pack your ship and she even goes
Speaker 1: sit on the curb because you can't do it by yourself.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. Just because you're in power,
Speaker 1: don't mean you got the power. You there for a reason.
Speaker 1: You ain't You ain't. You can't make it happen. Let's
Speaker 1: get him to do that and then build this ship
Speaker 1: over here, put people in there to to re refix that,
Speaker 1: rebuild and do all another ship, and then we'll be good.
Speaker 1: We'll be good. But then everybody that you've got working
Speaker 1: there got to be responsible. Everybody ain't responsible. So as
Speaker 1: a catch twenty two to everything, but it's got to
Speaker 1: start somewhere. You're do to the Digital soap Bus Network.
Speaker 1: This episode of The Gangster Chronicles is brought to you
Speaker 1: by Keeps dot Com. You don't have to go broke
Speaker 1: to avoid going balls. Keeps offers generic versions of the

Speaker 1: like Jackie Las is gonna stay in office. If she
Speaker 1: keeps her above her her her results above fifty percent,
Speaker 1: she could avoid the runoff election. All right, there's one
Speaker 1: more thing here I wanted to mention. I thought this
Speaker 1: was kind of interesting, James. There's a new bill that
Speaker 1: just got approved. That legislation that was approved designating lynching
Speaker 1: as a hate crime under federal law, which I already
Speaker 1: thought lynching was illegal, but in which would be sixty
Speaker 1: five years after fourteen year old m Mattill was lynched
Speaker 1: in Mississippi, which happened in lynching is now illegal? Not
Speaker 1: check this out? It was voted on four ten in
Speaker 1: the House approved it before, didn't Can you believe four
Speaker 1: people actually voted against this bill? And I got their
Speaker 1: names here, Uh, Louis Gomett Gomert from Texas, Thomas Massey
Speaker 1: from Kentucky, Ted Yoho of Florida, along with Justin Ahmash
Speaker 1: from Michigan opposed the bill. All of them, three of
Speaker 1: them are Republicans, one is independent. So I wanted to
Speaker 1: throw that out there that wow, um, all men that
Speaker 1: that that didn't want to make that legal four Three
Speaker 1: of the four from the South. So I'm not surprised,
Speaker 1: you know, because that's where most of the lynching in
Speaker 1: the United States was concentrated in the South. And I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised, you know what. That's that's one thing
Speaker 1: growing up to literal life, gang life, to be in
Speaker 1: the streets. You see a lot of ships, you hear
Speaker 1: a lot of ship. But but but we uneducated and
Speaker 1: we don't know how to speak that language. Like I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there talking about it and trying to not say
Speaker 1: the wrong word or mismisused the word. But you've got
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that truly believe in slavery,
Speaker 1: truly field, I mean, that's racist. Ain't nothing shocking. It
Speaker 1: shouldn't be shocking to nobody on this planet that these people.
Speaker 1: But but but here we got these are a man
Speaker 1: of power that think like that, why should they be there?
Speaker 1: And these guys are elected from their stage. But the
Speaker 1: good thing is four and ten people for an attend
Speaker 1: congressmen voted for this for this bill, uh, and only
Speaker 1: four didn't. So what's that? That's one percent? But that
Speaker 1: for needs a lot. Yeah, just think of their mindstate,
Speaker 1: their mentalities. They really believe in this ship that that's
Speaker 1: a sad thing for us, and then they even put
Speaker 1: it out there and let us know that motherfucker's still
Speaker 1: don't like you. Yeah, they don't like your race. I'm
Speaker 1: almost certain that Louis Goldmerder of Texas. Uh, he's probably
Speaker 1: not a friend to people of color. Neither is Thomas Massey.
Speaker 1: I just want to say their names again, from Kentucky
Speaker 1: and Ted Joho that's why o Ho of Florida, and
Speaker 1: then Justin Amash of Michigan. Yeah, it is kind of sad.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a couple of fan questions, um
Speaker 1: for before we wrap up. But I want to remind
Speaker 1: everybody that you are listening to The Gangster Chronicles and
Speaker 1: you can find James on Facebook. He's got the red

Speaker 1: I'll be back next week with the whole package. So
Speaker 1: Super Super Sport Fresh on Instagram. That's flip, all right.
Speaker 1: The first question we have here is, James, can you
Speaker 1: talk more about Buster Week? This comes from Sinci Greg
Speaker 1: on Apple Podcast. Once you know a little bit more
Speaker 1: about Buster Week? How did that come about? I thought
Speaker 1: I explained all that. We talked about it briefly in
Speaker 1: the previous episode, and then you talked about it in
Speaker 1: another interview. Games, Okay, buster week was pretty much every
Speaker 1: Every neighborhood has guys that's with the business, guys that
Speaker 1: go out there and and do certain things for their neighborhood.
Speaker 1: And then you have guys that don't leave a neighborhood,
Speaker 1: which in the hood, casts that didn't do were considered busters.
Speaker 1: So me and a few of the homies, let's man
Speaker 1: just get at these cats. Let's let's let's just take off.
Speaker 1: Let's do the busses. Let's beat up the busses this week.
Speaker 1: So we all just sitting around probably drinking and you know,
Speaker 1: doing our thing. And then the next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: you got three four the homies walking around the hood
Speaker 1: and we're on some Buster week ship and we took turns.
Speaker 1: They're going one of them, they're going a bit right there,
Speaker 1: and who turned was it to to Bam? So we
Speaker 1: took turns and it was on him, it was on him,
Speaker 1: it was on me. So Buster week was the way
Speaker 1: to keep the weak niggers off the block guard keep
Speaker 1: those cats that wasn't participating in the hood with the
Speaker 1: hood ship away from us. So every week or every
Speaker 1: other week, we would say, man, we need another Buster Week,
Speaker 1: or this cat went to school and then come back
Speaker 1: right bust a week and it just flowed from there.
Speaker 1: Bust the week was to get rid of the week
Speaker 1: those that didn't participate in gang activity. And it was
Speaker 1: kind of fun. I mean, you know, I mean, you
Speaker 1: got your exercise on. Uh. We had a Buster week.
Speaker 1: Was it served his purpose? Did any of these guys
Speaker 1: have fight back? Uh? And showed that there wasn't a
Speaker 1: buster No one one did. And he's still lost. But
Speaker 1: I mean, people getting twisted and misunderstand everybody ain't capable
Speaker 1: to do or everybody can't be gangsters. Everybody can't be
Speaker 1: gang members. A lot of those cats were associated with
Speaker 1: the hood, but wasn't affiliated with the hood. They were,
Speaker 1: they were there but going to school, and and all
Speaker 1: you had to do is say where he was from.
Speaker 1: They was getting jumped on too, you know people, Oh
Speaker 1: you have to do and say, oh I live in
Speaker 1: the mind, Oh I live in lowics. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's wrong hood, And and you got a problem. Some
Speaker 1: cats chose not to do that, not to do that,
Speaker 1: say where he was from or where they lived at
Speaker 1: and all that. Some squared up. But then when you're
Speaker 1: in the hood, you you you're doing grown man ship,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So those guys were considered busters.
Speaker 1: You couldn't come in the hood and be hanging in
Speaker 1: the hood and get shot and just I'm good man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad to be alive. You better get retaliated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got to. So if you didn't, you was considered
Speaker 1: a buster, you know what I'm saying. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep you one hunted. Those cats were getting man pray upon.
Speaker 1: But I mean they were just come on, I got
Speaker 1: this one. You know what I'm saying it was you know,
Speaker 1: we was taking cats drugs. How much that you got
Speaker 1: on you today? Oh I got give me that, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, I mean it had uh advantages.
Speaker 1: Nobody ever wanted to come back with a gun and
Speaker 1: you know they couldn't fight, but they want to come
Speaker 1: back with a weapon and and do some damage like that. No,
Speaker 1: because they know who they're dealing with. They know you
Speaker 1: know what you have to deal with when you come
Speaker 1: back like that, you gotta really think, like, man, if
Speaker 1: what happens when I get there, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: shoot him. I'm not gonna be no good in prison.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna be able to buy that ship. So
Speaker 1: the repercussion of it was a waste of time. They no,
Speaker 1: they didn't want to go through that, and and it
Speaker 1: was a good thing they didn't have to go through
Speaker 1: that because they didn't looking around. Somebody would have got hurt,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And a lot of people
Speaker 1: did get hurt because I mean it was everywhere. You know,
Speaker 1: some cats just couldn't take an ass whoopen and and
Speaker 1: found just to be quiet and retaliated in a later date.
Speaker 1: So it it has it's ups and downs, but Buster
Speaker 1: Week was was a good thing because it balanced out
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. You know what I'm saying. Everybody know who
Speaker 1: was with it and everybody know who wasn't. Was everybody
Speaker 1: suffable and meaning like Blacks, Mexicans, it didn't matter or
Speaker 1: it was just mostly know this is this in the
Speaker 1: hood thing. This wasn't. I can't go to another hood
Speaker 1: and patrol they ship and monitor they ship or hear bust.
Speaker 1: We gotta whip possess. No, that's not no, you can't
Speaker 1: do that. It was just in the hood, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And you know, everybody just ain't. And
Speaker 1: this is at every fucking gang hood, every hood you
Speaker 1: got out there, everybody ain't with it. They could pretend
Speaker 1: to be with it, but everybody ain't with it like that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And the majority of the
Speaker 1: cats that get killed is the ones that's really not
Speaker 1: with it. Now, you got some cats that ain't with it,
Speaker 1: but then they learned how to be, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But the ones is out there, the gangsters
Speaker 1: by nature and not by choice. They was built that way.
Speaker 1: As it's totally different that That question comes in from
Speaker 1: since Greg on Apple Podcasts and keep those questions coming. Oh,
Speaker 1: here's another one from Cam Dougs. Cam Doug on Apple
Speaker 1: podcast wants to know how you feel James about the
Speaker 1: Game mentioning your brother in his song that just came
Speaker 1: out about three to about three months ago called Stainless,
Speaker 1: and the lyric was baby Lane killed pop Niggas killed
Speaker 1: Baby Lane, bunch of was busting back, heron died in
Speaker 1: his chain. What do you think when you first heard that?
Speaker 1: I liked it. I liked it the song, yeah, and
Speaker 1: and I didn't just like it because of Buntury. I
Speaker 1: mean he paid how much to Bunchrey he just mentioned
Speaker 1: in his name. It's like what I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: keep bunchy name a lot, so I plot game for it,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Any cat that that that
Speaker 1: right down to day can still mentioned Bunchy and then
Speaker 1: a good note man, My head off to him. But
Speaker 1: I mean I can't be mad at him because he's
Speaker 1: doing it. I mean, it ain't like he I think
Speaker 1: the reason why Cam Doug ass because he mentioned your
Speaker 1: brother as shooting at the time. You know, he was
Speaker 1: busting back and and and ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: I don't discriminate. I don't I'm not gonna sit here
Speaker 1: in line. I can't tell you I was an angel.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you Bunchy was an angel. I'll be
Speaker 1: sitting there line to the whole goddamn world. He wouldn't
Speaker 1: be bunch of real if he didn't do the ship
Speaker 1: that he did. You know what I'm saying, take off
Speaker 1: to see and that to be, he wouldn't be who
Speaker 1: he is, and I wouldn't be who I am, just
Speaker 1: sitting up there line and saying, Man, my brother was,
Speaker 1: My brother was good, My brother was the saint. What
Speaker 1: the funk we came banging for? Then if if it's
Speaker 1: like that, so man, no, everybody see Buntry and me
Speaker 1: and all the rest of these castes out there like
Speaker 1: that the way they want to see him, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And for them to see bunch Ofy
Speaker 1: still and and speaking, ain't man, it's like uh award
Speaker 1: for me. You know what I'm saying, that's my little brother,
Speaker 1: that's my little brother. And and man when I when
Speaker 1: I heard it, I'm good with that, like like for real,
Speaker 1: for real. Now imagine if your brother was able to
Speaker 1: like actually land some of those shots in the history
Speaker 1: will be completely different, you know already. Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: car already made that right turn. And I guess a
Speaker 1: bunch of you followed a little bit from what the
Speaker 1: story out here. Well, Like I said, man, that should happened.
Speaker 1: That should didn't go the way its supposed to. It
Speaker 1: shouldn't have went the way it happened. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: like my brother been going since two thousand and two.
Speaker 1: I am so tired of that conversation. I'm so tired
Speaker 1: of explaining what what what he means to me and
Speaker 1: what that day, that day changed all of our life,
Speaker 1: you know, the day Tupac died changed all of our lives.
Speaker 1: So I'm not, man, I'm not proud of none of
Speaker 1: that ship. I'm not. I'm not. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hold on to it no more. You know, I just
Speaker 1: finally let go a part of a part of bountry
Speaker 1: for for for me to be able to function in
Speaker 1: a real way, for me to be open and speak
Speaker 1: on ship. You know what I'm saying, because I hate it.
Speaker 1: A whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 1: I didn't see ship, but self destruction. I didn't see nothing.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand it. You know what I'm saying. Everything
Speaker 1: I lived for too took his life, you feel me?
Speaker 1: So all of that other ship was wasted time, waste
Speaker 1: of time. So on on that note, we're game man.
Speaker 1: I appreciated that dude for speaking on you know, putting
Speaker 1: them in just just acknowledging his name, and they also
Speaker 1: acknowledged heron who's not and and which is another real
Speaker 1: more fucking you know what I'm saying. So, and I
Speaker 1: don't even know if Game even knew, Like that was
Speaker 1: a long time ago. You know that's that's uh eighteen
Speaker 1: years ago. Where was Game at eighteen years ago? Too?
Speaker 1: But the names still live on, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So to even even hear those guys name mentioned in
Speaker 1: the same token is it's a good thing. I think
Speaker 1: games first album came out in oh four, so that
Speaker 1: would have been two years after you lost your brother.
Speaker 1: And I guess he was hanging out there and uh
Speaker 1: see the block around two three. I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I never read in the game. Um, like
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, young stand But he also he also
Speaker 1: like celebrates the West Coast history. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: he's got a tattoo of um easy. And then also
Speaker 1: he's paying a lot of homage to Nipsey Hustle, So
Speaker 1: he truly has a out of love for for the
Speaker 1: hip hop that comes out of the West, comes out
Speaker 1: of especially Compton, you know. And I know you're probably
Speaker 1: thinking about some things right now, and I don't know
Speaker 1: when when when when it ain't an easy thing speaking
Speaker 1: on my brother. Yeah, I'm gonna tell everybody that now.
Speaker 1: And man, it's just like a bitch up and fucking cry.
Speaker 1: But no, that's like understandable because I mean that's a
Speaker 1: that's a brother, that's a sibling. Um. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what that. I have four siblings and
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that's like. If I lost
Speaker 1: one of them, I think I go crazy. Man. We
Speaker 1: grew up. We grew up ten a tit. Uh. We
Speaker 1: grew up playing cowboys and Indians and ship and we
Speaker 1: always imitated the the Codwright boys on Bonanza and Uh.
Speaker 1: We used to get on our bikes and ride in
Speaker 1: the motherfucking rain and I'm talking about rain and catching
Speaker 1: dogs and just be out there, uh, instead of depending
Speaker 1: on our pops to buy shoes. We go all the
Speaker 1: way up in the avocado tree and just knocked the
Speaker 1: motherfucker's down and go up to the store and sell them.
Speaker 1: We walk in the store, they're selling them three for
Speaker 1: two dollars. We got four four dollar fifty and everybody
Speaker 1: bought them. I'm talking about a basket full of them. So, man,
Speaker 1: I got a lot of just a lot of good
Speaker 1: memories with my with my brother. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Ship that we did that that I can say we're hunting,
Speaker 1: We actually did that. You know what I'm saying. Um,
Speaker 1: I did some crazy ship to him. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. When he pissed me off, he raised pigeons
Speaker 1: and he had birds that was six hundred bucks. I'm
Speaker 1: to the rollers and he pissed me off. I go
Speaker 1: back there with my little twenty two right and when
Speaker 1: you start shooting them motherfucker's. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: That what you're gonna do? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And just just coin there with each other. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day we make up. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, Me and uh Kenny Tubbs with
Speaker 1: some chicks trying to show off like we just just
Speaker 1: big old badass niggers, and said, we go to Chico Pieces.
Speaker 1: And when we jump out the car, we like we
Speaker 1: had a pistol. So it was a bunch of prominoes
Speaker 1: like this. So we just walked in the crowd and
Speaker 1: we're fighting these cats. So we run into the Piece
Speaker 1: of place and we hid behind with the little circle
Speaker 1: table and one at the time we was like, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta get the funk out of here. We gotta
Speaker 1: get the funk out of here. Bam we got on.
Speaker 1: So Canny tell Us went this way. I went this way.
Speaker 1: Before I can even get to our alley, here comes
Speaker 1: Buntry in his pajamas. He had a seventy six glass
Speaker 1: house at the time, and his pajamas with the shotgun
Speaker 1: on the seat. I dives in the car. What the
Speaker 1: FUNKYU doing that? Checks? And Mom, you're tripping, you're drinking.
Speaker 1: You're drinking? Yeah? And what and but how you know
Speaker 1: we was up here fight, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I never he never told me. He never told me.
Speaker 1: But I guess the chicks went back and and got
Speaker 1: him or whatever. But he jumped the funk up and
Speaker 1: he was right there. You know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: and I got a whole bunch of stories like that
Speaker 1: by my brother, you know what I'm saying. And then
Speaker 1: to see for me to lose him like like with
Speaker 1: the ship that we do on the daily by our
Speaker 1: own people. Bye bye. You know what I'm saying, What
Speaker 1: I represent, what I love, what I stand for. Everything,
Speaker 1: Just just mom, everything just changed. Life's totally different now
Speaker 1: because well I know the people out there and love
Speaker 1: hearing stories about Buntrey. They love hearing you talk about
Speaker 1: they all. They want you to talk about everybody that's
Speaker 1: not with us anyware. They wanted to talking about Uh,
Speaker 1: they want to hear about um Heron, They want to
Speaker 1: hear about Bounty. But that's the tough thing to do.
Speaker 1: I mean, it has his up and downs, but it
Speaker 1: has a good times too and the good times because
Speaker 1: Alton was my brother and we've been through so much,
Speaker 1: so much at our age, Alton was actually my goal
Speaker 1: too when when my pops had issues with me, you know,
Speaker 1: putting his hands on me in a certain kind of way,
Speaker 1: and Alton was always there. Like just just think about
Speaker 1: the Star Wars, because we had Star Wars stickers. We
Speaker 1: have bunk bears, and then we had the stickers on
Speaker 1: the wall. He just just keeps saying Star Wars, Star Wars,
Speaker 1: and he won't feel it. You won't feel it. And
Speaker 1: ask getting my asswood laying across that bunk bed down
Speaker 1: at the bottom, and he whipped me. Auching was right there.
Speaker 1: He was like on the head of the bed and
Speaker 1: I'm like down that colase to the foot and and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it and it's like he felt he
Speaker 1: felt the panion was going through right there. You knew
Speaker 1: what it was and that was your little bro right right.
Speaker 1: So that was a love we have for each other. Man.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and you guys we were pretty close in
Speaker 1: age too. How many years younger than is he? If
Speaker 1: you is he eleven months younger than trip man. My
Speaker 1: mama was getting in before she can get it out. Man.
Speaker 1: You guys are in school together one year apart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't get any closer in age than that,
Speaker 1: all right, Um, Bosco issued an apology to you man,
Speaker 1: And if I don't know, it took a while for
Speaker 1: him to get to that point in the interview, but
Speaker 1: eventually he just said it. Um, I guess he really
Speaker 1: didn't have any any any basis for saying what he
Speaker 1: said to you about you in the first place. Like this,
Speaker 1: every man has his own pride. And to say I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you are apologized to another man you think twice
Speaker 1: of doing it, You know what I'm saying, because you
Speaker 1: don't know if you're doing it for what reason? Man?
Speaker 1: Being one hunted is the reason that if you wrong,
Speaker 1: you're wrong. Uh. I never I never came at him.
Speaker 1: I never said nothing about him, you know. And and
Speaker 1: people gotta twist it. Reggie gonna be Reggie, James gonna
Speaker 1: be James, allis gonna be Alex. You can't change that,
Speaker 1: which now one of those three guys I just mentioned
Speaker 1: is trying to change the next cat got something to say,
Speaker 1: that cat got something to say, whatever. But today's society,
Speaker 1: everybody got it right to their own opinion. So I
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you. But if you if you
Speaker 1: lash out and I only said something because you you,
Speaker 1: you put my brother in it. My family, my family
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what I did. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying or what I do. So if if
Speaker 1: if if a mothercker don't like me, don't like me,
Speaker 1: don't don't use my family as a question. Don't don't.
Speaker 1: I'm just ain't doing that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that's the only reason why I spoke on that,
Speaker 1: because me personally, I'm not Fenna be on gainst the
Speaker 1: Chronicles trying to bring down no brother, trying to talk
Speaker 1: talk about her brother jaws, trying to talk about what
Speaker 1: a brother doing with his bitch. Ain't none of my business.
Speaker 1: How you getting down? That's your business, feel me. So
Speaker 1: to to come at me, you can't. You you're not here,
Speaker 1: So what's the purpose? We can't get at each other?
Speaker 1: And I used to tell his motherfucker's the same ship
Speaker 1: on the motorcycle set. If I call you a bit
Speaker 1: in your face and you don't do nothing, it is
Speaker 1: what it is. A bit. Yeah, but call me a bit,
Speaker 1: you see if I don't shoot your motherfuck Now. Well,
Speaker 1: there's one point that Bosco made that I thought I
Speaker 1: could relate to. I can understand it. It was about Reggie.
Speaker 1: He said, how how does a former cop, former police
Speaker 1: officer get on a show called Gangster Chronicles and start
Speaker 1: calling other people snitches? Because that's not the language of
Speaker 1: a cop or even a retired a former cop on
Speaker 1: here talking very very street. You know, such and such
Speaker 1: as a snatch, such and such as this. Well, let
Speaker 1: me let me clarify this for y'all, man and everybody
Speaker 1: out there. Reggie Wright is street. Yeah, Reggie Wright just
Speaker 1: became the police officer. To me that that that was
Speaker 1: a job he had to take. You feel me? But
Speaker 1: Reggie right, man, and everybody something to know. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Reggie Wright grew up on on on
Speaker 1: on that US ship. You know what I'm saying. He
Speaker 1: wasn't always a copy didn't he went to copy in
Speaker 1: high school. He went a cop playing football. He went
Speaker 1: the cop playing basketball, baseball. He was a regular ass dude,
Speaker 1: just like us. You know what I'm saying. You couldn't
Speaker 1: go and push him. You couldn't do that. Reggie had
Speaker 1: a father, man, Reggie had a father that refused for
Speaker 1: him to be like me, one of us, and he
Speaker 1: and he made him get that education. Now that Reggie
Speaker 1: didn't have, Reggie Wright Senior, Reggie Reggie Wright Jr. Would
Speaker 1: have been thugged out or dead right now because he
Speaker 1: didn't have no other way. He'd have been one of
Speaker 1: the homies, could have been one of the homies that
Speaker 1: lost his life already. That's a good example of the
Speaker 1: importance of a of a positive father. Yeah yeah, and
Speaker 1: I can't be mad at him. But just like these
Speaker 1: police officers were talking about this lady that took that money,
Speaker 1: they're human, They normal ask people just like us, just
Speaker 1: like us. Now, Now, whatever she was gonna do with
Speaker 1: that five hunted, that's that's crazy. But everyday Reggie wore
Speaker 1: that uniform, I guarantee you he thought about it. From
Speaker 1: from from making that transformation from from a police officer
Speaker 1: to being on death row on some gangster ship hanging
Speaker 1: with some gangster niggers with the business ship. His whole
Speaker 1: mentality changed, but he still had that police swag or
Speaker 1: whatever they want to call that, that new word ship.
Speaker 1: He had that still in it. And the only way
Speaker 1: he can filter that ship out is now go to prison.
Speaker 1: Now he living just like us now now, even seeing
Speaker 1: the other side of that blue uniform, everything that you
Speaker 1: was arrested. Now, look at you. When we took him
Speaker 1: down in there and they told him to turn around
Speaker 1: and handcuffed, I see a different Reggie now, I see
Speaker 1: a total different Reggie. I don't see the police officer
Speaker 1: Reggie no more. But I I know both sides because
Speaker 1: I grew up with him. I know his family. I
Speaker 1: did the story for his mom and daddy. We went
Speaker 1: and looked for Pops when Pops couldn't be found. So
Speaker 1: I'm We're that close with the family. They are a family.
Speaker 1: So I know little Richie. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: His other cousins turned out to be from the hood,
Speaker 1: Little William Tony. They from the hood. Reggie Wright Senior
Speaker 1: wouldn't having that ship. He wouldn't having it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think um A lot of people though, struggle with that,
Speaker 1: like how was this guy like you? You know the history,
Speaker 1: But just for the average listener to the Gangster Chronicles
Speaker 1: that thinks the way Bosco things, They're like, this guy
Speaker 1: was all but now he's talking to gangster stuff on
Speaker 1: this show. You know. One thing in Bosco said is
Speaker 1: how can you be a copy and you're arresting all
Speaker 1: these people? You basically sention on all these people. A
Speaker 1: police officers job is to write a report. That's how
Speaker 1: I go from here, from point A to point B.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And if I ever heard
Speaker 1: Reggie speak bad on on him, I would I ould
Speaker 1: have been like, why why do you say something like that?
Speaker 1: Dude came up here. He cool, Yeah, why would you
Speaker 1: speak like that? And and and you know, Reggie had
Speaker 1: his days when he said this ship about ship. Don't
Speaker 1: don't say that about ship. Man. Don't say that about
Speaker 1: because that's one thing I do know. Su and ran
Speaker 1: and told ship. Oh yeah, you feel me. You ain't
Speaker 1: wrote and told ship. So that's a fact. And Reggie no,
Speaker 1: but you know, to each his own when he apologized.
Speaker 1: I accept the apology one hunter, whether it was it
Speaker 1: was he was being one hunter or whatever, just the
Speaker 1: fact of saying it. I'm cool with that. I ain't
Speaker 1: out there trying to make new enemies old running to
Speaker 1: the old ones. And none of that ship. Me and
Speaker 1: Bosco never hung out or kicked it like that. So
Speaker 1: I felt it when he said, I ain't trying to No,
Speaker 1: no murder ship and none of little ship like that. Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: So what I did was said it sitting at the house,
Speaker 1: did a little video shot at the blad. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I accept his apology just on some man ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I accept his apology, and I'm we're good. We never
Speaker 1: had a problem anyway. But it's just certain things when
Speaker 1: we talk about people, certain things we say. It's sketchy
Speaker 1: when you talk about family, talking about the homie, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can get it. Talking about my brother and my
Speaker 1: mother and my sister's totally different story. You're gonna get
Speaker 1: a different reaction from that. So what made you do
Speaker 1: a video? Uh? Response? As opposed to just picking up
Speaker 1: the phone. And I think, I think instead of instead
Speaker 1: of us sitting here talking and and and all these
Speaker 1: people at home or in their trucks, in their cars
Speaker 1: driving and seeing us on the conversation, let us see
Speaker 1: how we should be as men, men accepting each other
Speaker 1: apologies and and being able to push home from that bullshit,
Speaker 1: and and not trying to be reckless towards each other. Okay,
Speaker 1: I accepted as apology, he apologized, I accepted one hunting
Speaker 1: I'm good men. Yeah. Now I think Bosco is cool people.
Speaker 1: Man um I worked with doing that ceasefire between Queen
Speaker 1: Street Neighborhood Piru and the angle with thirteens and Bosco
Speaker 1: was pretty He the only one I ever listened to
Speaker 1: a video because when stramming through the ship and he
Speaker 1: said something like get over here, and and then he
Speaker 1: just banging and smoking. We yeah, with his shirt off.
Speaker 1: Who then is this dude right here now? He participated
Speaker 1: with all the Queen Streets and that's cease fire. So
Speaker 1: that's good. Oh yeah, that that cease fire is good
Speaker 1: and um it actually leads me to um the last question,
Speaker 1: some guy named Hordeheair Romero on Facebook is asking me
Speaker 1: that I need to get a peace treaty going in Chicago.
Speaker 1: And my response to that is, I don't live in Chicago.
Speaker 1: I live in Los Angeles, and all the work that
Speaker 1: I'm there's not even enough of me to work in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. So let alone going to Chicago to try
Speaker 1: to do some truth and some pieces. Have you ever
Speaker 1: thought that that that Jide, your mission is bigger than
Speaker 1: just in l A, that that your voice and the
Speaker 1: ship that you do with Street TV can can can
Speaker 1: make a difference in Chicago. I mean, I want to
Speaker 1: be able to influence Chicago to do better, but that's
Speaker 1: gonna have to come from grassroots, from from Chicagoan's you
Speaker 1: know who's gonna listen to me on the South side
Speaker 1: of Chicago. You know what I mean? The the the
Speaker 1: content that you have with with We're just talking to
Speaker 1: hundreds thousands of gang members, you know, the niggas everything.
Speaker 1: You you know, how how the the the clock ticks?
Speaker 1: Should I say, you know what we're thinking. You know
Speaker 1: what a lot of these brothers such as myself been
Speaker 1: through and you can relate to it. So people seeing
Speaker 1: it as a tool using you as a tool to say, Man,
Speaker 1: if what if he can come down here and just
Speaker 1: do some just speak and say this to these brothers
Speaker 1: out here, maybe that are helped. I I mean, you
Speaker 1: never know. I'm open to all of that. I'm open
Speaker 1: to whatever I could do and assist in any city
Speaker 1: that is trying to get better. Um. If if there's
Speaker 1: some brothers in Chicago that's already got the ball rolling
Speaker 1: and they and they want to get some negotiations going
Speaker 1: and they just don't know how to go about doing it, Hey,
Speaker 1: I fly out there and say, all right, you gotta
Speaker 1: do this, you gotta do that, you know, get that
Speaker 1: home and come over here. And when we get over here,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'll do all of that. But um,
Speaker 1: just starting from the bottom. Man, Um that's got to
Speaker 1: come from Chicago. Somebody's got to get the ball rolling.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do what I'm doing here in l
Speaker 1: A and a couple of other neighborhoods, and it's already challenging,
Speaker 1: you know. To do it right here where I live
Speaker 1: is hard enough, you know, just putting your your, your, your,
Speaker 1: your signature on it and saying, man, I'm here, this
Speaker 1: is what we need to do, and then it's working.
Speaker 1: And it's working here, so you can relax. But man,

Speaker 1: than you think that you might, even you just can't
Speaker 1: imagine it. And I sit back and I and I'm
Speaker 1: and I played with my grandson every day, and I'm
Speaker 1: saying this was designed for me. This little boy was

Speaker 1: busting out laughing, and I a'm an no more so.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's everything happens for a reason. And I
Speaker 1: truly believe that now and if my purposes should go
