Speaker 1: You get people to spend their whole life calling themselves
Speaker 1: actors and stuff. But then the ge home, you just
Speaker 1: get a call. It's like people want this authentic ship
Speaker 1: right here. So I think some stuff is just meant
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, yeah, sometimes you need uh that ambiance
Speaker 1: of of real ship. You know, they sort of need
Speaker 1: that in some of these films, especially these films that
Speaker 1: depict or portrayed uh you know, real street life or
Speaker 1: situations that arise like that. So I directors reach out
Speaker 1: to you know, uh, brothers who associated to the streets
Speaker 1: so to speak, you know what I'm saying, or got
Speaker 1: that background that's been associated to the streets. They're just
Speaker 1: looking for that authentic exactly like somebody can relate to
Speaker 1: criminal you know what I'm saying. When people see him,
Speaker 1: oh do some gags? You know what I'm saying. Did
Speaker 1: he a real humboy? It is? He a real only man?
Speaker 1: Like I said. Man, And so I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to the very very beginning. Man, I'm We're gonna go
Speaker 1: way back. Man. We're gonna go to step and as
Speaker 1: Bill Walker days, motherfucker's had to come up to the
Speaker 1: office and get their chicken chicken motherfucker's And you go
Speaker 1: back to that man he was on there. Man. You
Speaker 1: started with the Honi Camponi and y'all met a little
Speaker 1: rider show, right, yes, sir, and we're rolling for them.
Speaker 1: How long was How long was that process going? Ship?
Speaker 1: I was signed a high power for the first seventeen
Speaker 1: years of my career and six teen years of my career,
Speaker 1: kept the loyal kept a solid did what I had
Speaker 1: to do, and it just kept came to a point
Speaker 1: where I was like, I appreciate playing my position and
Speaker 1: I never tried to outshine my master. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's like, you gotta upgrade and
Speaker 1: get past that. For the year, a lot of mentality sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because I don't read that
Speaker 1: ship thirty three Strategies of War, and I'm like, funk
Speaker 1: this not trying to shot outshine your master ship. It's
Speaker 1: time for me to boss up into my ship, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So once I shut that mentality home,
Speaker 1: mean my my ship just opened up and it's been
Speaker 1: blessing six Yeah, just opened up because I can't stepped
Speaker 1: on nobody's toes. Not to cut you off, but a
Speaker 1: lot of people step on toes and this people in
Speaker 1: disrespect and feel like they gotta do that, Like we
Speaker 1: didn't respect of what you didn't slammed the door going
Speaker 1: up and saw men supposed to do it. You know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't no beef because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the homie help you start your career. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: where I was if I didn't get that opportunity. And
Speaker 1: I always say that I would never a badmouth on
Speaker 1: me because first of all, I ain't no bad blood
Speaker 1: period and the second of all, fucking I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: a household name in my community if it wasn't for
Speaker 1: that opportunity. That's really stuff because company he was out
Speaker 1: there getting you know this, and if you bought him,
Speaker 1: but he was getting down for a ship, you have
Speaker 1: to you have to respect him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You have to respect the hustle on the ground man.
Speaker 1: So we gotta be both ways to you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. The person got to allow you to spread
Speaker 1: your wings and not hate, so to speak, so it
Speaker 1: won't be no slamming up the door on the way
Speaker 1: out and speaking on that. It was crazy because when
Speaker 1: I posted him out, I still had to keep it real.
Speaker 1: I still owe him threat and I just seen my
Speaker 1: ship going a different questions I like mine I've been
Speaker 1: putting in so much work for this, for this empire
Speaker 1: for so long. I'm ready to do my ship, you know.
Speaker 1: And when I and I hate him, that's why I
Speaker 1: gotta keep it real. He was real with you, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He was like, Man, I ain't
Speaker 1: trying to hold you back. It's trying to do it.
Speaker 1: You trying to do your thing, handling the ship. But
Speaker 1: you know what doing you showed him a lot of
Speaker 1: loyal because I'm pretty sure I hear the rumplings and stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, like man, you know, sex sux, trying to
Speaker 1: get that criminal. It was people because you wonder a
Speaker 1: few and I don't like to use the terms to
Speaker 1: kinda wrappers. You wanted the future kind of rappers that
Speaker 1: people in the black community actually missed with. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that they like listen to I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't seen kids righting down street bumping your stuff.
Speaker 1: So you kind of crossed over, man. And I always
Speaker 1: knew that she was gonna be bigger than that, you know,
Speaker 1: me and fingers just to talk about all the time, man,
Speaker 1: you know, criminal man kind of you know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying that I was shining the master stuff. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: just a natural progress and people just go like this
Speaker 1: because your rhyme skills and starts just getting like, you know,
Speaker 1: like his pain just a getting really dangerous because how
Speaker 1: it was you when you first looked it with him.
Speaker 1: I was a fresh out of my fourth term as
Speaker 1: in the JUVENOCX Barding the States and Falls ten, So
Speaker 1: I was like fresh out eighteen years also eighteen through ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gave him most of your doing life, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you was loyal. Yeah, I could
Speaker 1: see that, you know what I'm saying, Nothing but that
Speaker 1: you know it's say, man, let me go do your thing,
Speaker 1: because you did it so stepping out on your own. Man,
Speaker 1: you no longer head like that. That back and everything
Speaker 1: was on you at that point. Did you have kind
Speaker 1: of everything pre planned already? Did you already get together
Speaker 1: with your crew and say this is what we're gonna
Speaker 1: lay out and this is what we're gonna do. To
Speaker 1: be honest with to a lot of my people were
Speaker 1: telling me I should have been doing this ship for years,
Speaker 1: and I don't. I didn't let the chicken chat to
Speaker 1: get to me. But my team, my people were like
Speaker 1: not I don't know hay shit about that. The team,
Speaker 1: they're just like, man, you I grow the situation. We
Speaker 1: could go get this money. We don't need nobody else,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So when when we actually
Speaker 1: put the trigger and executed it, my team was ready
Speaker 1: to go. We didn't even talk about it was like, hey,
Speaker 1: we got the show pulling up and whatever state when
Speaker 1: we when we have four or five Carlos or home
Speaker 1: is already ready, people flying in with merch, already whatever.
Speaker 1: And even when we're going to like Beijing, Singapore, Chi
Speaker 1: led Brazil, it's like motherfucker's just started putting a home
Speaker 1: and got my ticket. We're about to be there. It's
Speaker 1: like motherfucker's just support. You know what I'm saying. That's
Speaker 1: dope right there. So what you say, man, because I
Speaker 1: don't know what the movies and everything, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I didn't wike it because I
Speaker 1: would be in a McDonald somewhere. You get that one
Speaker 1: dumbmass person to come to the side even stare at
Speaker 1: you like this and say I know you from somewhere
Speaker 1: right and you're trying to order your ship, and they're
Speaker 1: just sitting there looking at you, and you don't know
Speaker 1: if this motherfucker go reaching this pinions and pull out
Speaker 1: the ham or what. You know. It's a trip. And
Speaker 1: I tell people from being on both sides, ain't the
Speaker 1: ship like the movie Ship. I'm in movies and ship.
Speaker 1: It's a whole different pump to it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, It's a whole different people because you get that,
Speaker 1: especially when the movie first come out it's a major release,
Speaker 1: and they stand on the side of you, did you
Speaker 1: ever get into here? Man? Man, I've been nonstopped. It
Speaker 1: hasn't stopped. It's like I used to get recognized a
Speaker 1: lot from being like just just going anywhere people whole
Speaker 1: ship was cracking crimes, you know. But now it's like,
Speaker 1: like I said, I got a career about the at
Speaker 1: the beach of the Marina del Rein. Sometimes I think
Speaker 1: I'll be tucked away I can ordering pizza and ship
Speaker 1: and walking to the front like, oh I got a
Speaker 1: picture with you. I'm like, God, damn, Like I can't
Speaker 1: even order down Uber pulpt makes nothing. I can't go
Speaker 1: to the damn stores like no matter where I go
Speaker 1: in the state. But that's a that's a blessing of
Speaker 1: the at the that end of the day. That's what
Speaker 1: we doing ship for it to be successful. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: And and it's cool. Man. I think if all of
Speaker 1: us in this room have experienced the whole fee on
Speaker 1: the street thing, what's the craziest experience you have? We
Speaker 1: go around the room, we man, Honestly, I don't know
Speaker 1: about crazy um shot. I'll tell you one off the
Speaker 1: top of my head that right now, I could tell
Speaker 1: you it was just some trippy ship. So the first
Speaker 1: time I went to Japan, it was two thousand and four.
Speaker 1: I was still fresh. I was still youngster, the knuckle headed,
Speaker 1: fresh out of I wasn't out of the game bang
Speaker 1: mentality I was. I was a kid that wrapped and
Speaker 1: I was still My main goal was represent my neighborhood
Speaker 1: and put it out there. You know, I didn't have
Speaker 1: the business mentality yet. So I was over there like
Speaker 1: naive to motherfucker's even knowing my ship. So when we
Speaker 1: went out there, I was like, yeah, I'm just supporting
Speaker 1: the label, you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm just
Speaker 1: doing my things. So we got there and all these
Speaker 1: people like pulling out my shirts, pulling out my ship,
Speaker 1: and I'm like literally like cracking foods and the homes
Speaker 1: are laughing, like, hey, don't chill out using your fans

Speaker 1: And I just skirt the funk off on his day.
Speaker 1: It's just funny. But I appreciate it, though, dog, you know,
Speaker 1: because people be like, you know, like and it tricks
Speaker 1: me out all the time, like when we interviewing somebody like,
Speaker 1: because you never know who listening and who's messing with
Speaker 1: your content, and it never fails. Man, I'm going through
Speaker 1: um because I got a bad habit of not checking
Speaker 1: them in boxes because sometimes it just be bullshitting there. Right,
Speaker 1: So I'm going in. I see two messages from Shack
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this ain't the real motherfucker's Shack. And
Speaker 1: then so the first what I said, Man, stopped playing
Speaker 1: on my ship. This ain't Shack. I'm gonna report your head.
Speaker 1: He said, no O, G it was everybody thinks it's
Speaker 1: James on there, O, G Mark James. I really fun

Speaker 1: the ship that's really motherfucky Shack. So shout out the Shack.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, and that ship just tricks
Speaker 1: me out. I'm like, man, But like he said, going
Speaker 1: back to its authenticity. Man, people know when stuff is real.
Speaker 1: I guess you know what I mean. It's kind of different,
Speaker 1: like especially with because they out there I'm talking about
Speaker 1: out there rapping in front of the gang of people,
Speaker 1: not only the guys, just the women. And I know
Speaker 1: a lot of pushy came anyway, and just like being
Speaker 1: on on up there with with shooting them, pushy was coming.
Speaker 1: And when the just wants to get on the bus
Speaker 1: just because you're associated with it, and by him being
Speaker 1: him and and all of those guys, they had five
Speaker 1: or six women at their motherfucked the move before motherfucker
Speaker 1: even got up to elevator. So I mean, it has
Speaker 1: this perse. But you know, goddamn, you know, they don't
Speaker 1: get the time to just relax some wine. Like you said,
Speaker 1: you're ready to you know, I'm touching me, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And sometimes people don't understand that part.
Speaker 1: But other than that, man, I don't like to do
Speaker 1: too much mingle them in the club scene with the
Speaker 1: you know, not to be uh uh not to be
Speaker 1: a title uh try to you don't avoid the fans.
Speaker 1: But I never like the hanging out at the clubs
Speaker 1: after the ship was done. No, I'm talking to Motherfucker's
Speaker 1: soul this. I'm done with the last song song on stage,
Speaker 1: I'm off the stage and I'm straight to the car
Speaker 1: where you know what I learned, man, because I used
Speaker 1: to go over to London a lot, and when I
Speaker 1: was performing this stuff, I would go over to London
Speaker 1: and all these other look you know, remote places and
Speaker 1: you've been in London before, right, Uh, you know they
Speaker 1: clubs is down the basements and they're real small. So
Speaker 1: he used to trick me out off on this one
Speaker 1: spot out there. It's like you walked down some stairs
Speaker 1: and you really like an a basement and it's like
Speaker 1: the room was about two of these rooms maybe. So
Speaker 1: when you go up on stage and stage only this
Speaker 1: big and everybody right there in your face, and you
Speaker 1: know in England they used them pokers. I was seeing that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I had this one song man, whenever
Speaker 1: it would come home, and we did the MTV based
Speaker 1: tour over there for MTV when the little stations over
Speaker 1: there every So I did that song at Man Motherfucker's
Speaker 1: and that motherfucker getting jugged. So I'm up there doing
Speaker 1: my ship and motherfucker's just started shaning each other. To
Speaker 1: this day, I don't know what the funk that was about.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell out some little ship for
Speaker 1: me having a something? But they're crazy over They're just
Speaker 1: different places. So when you traveling overseas and stuff, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can talk about this. Man.
Speaker 1: I know you you're married, all right, you have to
Speaker 1: married by time, but she wasn't at that time. I've
Speaker 1: been I've been with my lady fags. Okay, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna skip that. I don't even gonna talk off we
Speaker 1: get that, man, so still trying to get Yeah, we
Speaker 1: can talk about that at the word. I mean, but
Speaker 1: you're seeing like in Japane. I know you had a
Speaker 1: phone in Japane's being um last time I was out
Speaker 1: there with glasses, y'all must have been following behind us,
Speaker 1: because I saw all kinds of Mr Criminal posters be
Speaker 1: a glass like look at the home. He got a problem.
Speaker 1: You're doing bigger thing used than your glasses. And so
Speaker 1: we was just you know, out there chilling, dug when
Speaker 1: you saw that reception overseas, Man, how did that make
Speaker 1: you feel when you like they kind of trip you
Speaker 1: out a little bit? Man? It does every single time,
Speaker 1: and it has since the first time I told overseas
Speaker 1: to like right before the coronavirus starts, do you feel
Speaker 1: the fan base or the connection to fans overseas? Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's better than at home, absolutely because in l A
Speaker 1: and casts out here there too, too too uptight. Motherfucker's
Speaker 1: is too hard to give them prices. Motherfucker's is like, oh,
Speaker 1: he ain't from my body and here from my hood.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show love for from a distance. I can't
Speaker 1: be too too on them like that cast over seas
Speaker 1: they don't give a funk. They don't got that product,
Speaker 1: ain't from a different neighborhood, they ain't from They don't
Speaker 1: got that pride nothing. It's just about the music, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it's like they don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. You see motherfucker's looking like they're ready to
Speaker 1: come out there fucking panties and ship and they're man
Speaker 1: and ships, Like, what the hell happened to you? Honey?
Speaker 1: You have a little bit of pride, don't We got
Speaker 1: some nuts between them? Lags, you know, but it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, y'a. I've learned the fan basis is a
Speaker 1: little more extreme. Not to say that you don't get
Speaker 1: love from home, yeah, you know, because let's face it,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of them. What has happened here
Speaker 1: is what got us to that that you know, that
Speaker 1: latter decline, Uh, the fans that we have here at home.
Speaker 1: But it's just something about being overseas. Uh. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's uh the acceptance of hip hop or
Speaker 1: whatever it is that they feel, the rebellion or whatever. Uh,
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's a little more appreciated, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying when you go over there. And
Speaker 1: not to say you can't go to clubs and concerts
Speaker 1: here and people don't sing the words to your songs
Speaker 1: and then but you just get that extra sitement. That's
Speaker 1: just when you head over ship. It's just a little
Speaker 1: bit more extra because I'm gonna tell you, and Japan,
Speaker 1: England and Ireland, those places, I think, like you said,
Speaker 1: they got a different appreciation because they ain't trying to
Speaker 1: be hard. You gotta remember every motherfucker over here trying
Speaker 1: to wrap everybody over here trying to do what you do.
Speaker 1: So you got fifty niggas in the audience. Two of
Speaker 1: them might be really fans that can't enjoy the show,
Speaker 1: but you've got forty eight other motherfucker's looking like men,
Speaker 1: I'm really to hells. You know, they're just standing back there,
Speaker 1: just trying to be artist. Like lou Up. You pay
Speaker 1: your money to getting this motherfucker different though, though. That's here.
Speaker 1: You have motherfucker's don't like your hood you here, you
Speaker 1: have motherfucker's that looking at you and just like, oh
Speaker 1: fucking me, thank you, this and that. When you go
Speaker 1: out of stating overseas, they don't know who you are.
Speaker 1: They just love your music. It's totally different. While we
Speaker 1: get that, James, that ship California has a tendency to
Speaker 1: motherfucking pick and choose what they want to funk with
Speaker 1: and how they funk with it, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: especially if they fucking if it's a gangs out there
Speaker 1: rapping and he from the other side, the other side
Speaker 1: is already uptight, you know what I'm saying. Instead of
Speaker 1: motherfucker's getting alone and getting together and embracing ship, we
Speaker 1: gotta fight. I mean we gotta have to deal with it. Right,
Speaker 1: you wake up one morning, you check your little social media,
Speaker 1: it's just a motherfucker from nowhere. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, don't know you from like and and sometimes
Speaker 1: I have to question myself and I have to go
Speaker 1: into a nigga's DM and be like, do you know
Speaker 1: I'm like, you just woke up just hating on the nigga,
Speaker 1: just from nigga, fuck your music, just funk with you
Speaker 1: about and nigga all nigga, you ain't the G. You
Speaker 1: left out the G because the G ain't and you
Speaker 1: and all this niggas doing their little and I'll be like,
Speaker 1: do you know me, like, because you just woke up today,
Speaker 1: just like you just said fun today and just woke up.
Speaker 1: They get all on your Instagram lives and you see
Speaker 1: a motherfucker poppy and be like, hey man, fuck you.
Speaker 1: And I'll be like, man, what what what I would
Speaker 1: happened today? But so I'm just trying to figure out
Speaker 1: why we get that, Why we just get random niggas
Speaker 1: who just wake up just like just like the perfect
Speaker 1: perfect example, the motherfucker at the football game. You don't
Speaker 1: know me for ship you just see me walking up
Speaker 1: and down the sideline being the father, supporting, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden and you just turned around and go,
Speaker 1: fuck you, homeboy, get a body here. I'm like, So,
Speaker 1: it questions me sometime when a natural hate for motherfucker's
Speaker 1: come from. You know what I'm saying. I know you've
Speaker 1: been through it. We've all been through the scenario of
Speaker 1: of you don't do nothing for the hood, You don't
Speaker 1: do nothing for the hood, you don't do nothing like
Speaker 1: It just puzzles me how motherfucker's just wake up with
Speaker 1: natural fucking hate And and most of the time you
Speaker 1: don't even know me, motherfucker from what you see on
Speaker 1: a record or a video, that's all you know. But
Speaker 1: hate moving, hate comes from that when you moved on
Speaker 1: and you don't recognize come over there on the corner
Speaker 1: of the movie because you're doing your thing having these
Speaker 1: cats don't understand what grown up me. Well I grew up.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You can be that you're
Speaker 1: still against nobody. This ship is still in you. But
Speaker 1: I just don't get down like that no more. Half
Speaker 1: of halving the homies. Ain't got no motherfucking wives, ain't
Speaker 1: got no kids because penigentries all that life. When they
Speaker 1: when they see anything about you or anything that's when
Speaker 1: you dress code, they're gonna take off on it. Motherfucker's
Speaker 1: act like bitches too right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And they only hate because they see they ship in
Speaker 1: a position but can't get to that position. And where
Speaker 1: you act it out shine your whole bunch of motherfuckers,
Speaker 1: and you have hated motherfuckers out there. I don't give black, brown, white,
Speaker 1: I don't care they don't color. I think to chime
Speaker 1: in on that, it also goes back to the top.
Speaker 1: I could speak on real motherfucker's like us that really
Speaker 1: from the soil, like I'm really from my body. We
Speaker 1: are really from where we're from. We we obviously got enemies.
Speaker 1: We obviously got people that we've done, they have funk with,
Speaker 1: so they got it's a small world. Everyone knows that
Speaker 1: you got cousin, uncle, something that's related. So I also
Speaker 1: feel that percentage comes for that from some ship that
Speaker 1: we might might have possibly did some of our homes. Gad,
Speaker 1: we're always gonna get that natural hate where they see
Speaker 1: us pop up and it's like this motherfucker's life ship
Speaker 1: this motherfucking shot my home. I'm gonna come here and
Speaker 1: hate and stop blessing a way that I just makes
Speaker 1: this fucking ship look look stupid online because they ain't
Speaker 1: got another way to get at you. They didn't handle
Speaker 1: it back into the streets, so they're trying to do
Speaker 1: it online. I know that for a fact that that's
Speaker 1: some of the ship I've been gonna come at. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. Just like a female get mad
Speaker 1: at she got a kid right she could do it
Speaker 1: is called child boy up. I mean, everything has just
Speaker 1: is ups and downs to it. But just just like
Speaker 1: criminals said, that's pretty much it. We've all done the
Speaker 1: checked or done something or happen to us where at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, in the background minds, we
Speaker 1: don't forget the ship, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: when especially when they see you out there shine it,
Speaker 1: they automatically hate you know what I'm saying. But they
Speaker 1: take a real mother fucker to keep pushing and do
Speaker 1: what you do because if you bote you into his bullshit,
Speaker 1: you must believe this ship or it's gonna fuck you up.
Speaker 1: Fun writing into that ship if you ain't physically in
Speaker 1: front of me with the bullshit. It don't matter, It
Speaker 1: don't matter. You can hit me on Instagram, do whatever
Speaker 1: the funk you want, because you're gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of that, a lot of that ship. That's why I
Speaker 1: don't look at none of that ship because I get mad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you keep and you're getting mad of the motherfucker that's
Speaker 1: somewhere in his basement something. You like, you don't know
Speaker 1: where these motherfucker's at, so you just like you even
Speaker 1: waste the energy for that. Ain't like you can find
Speaker 1: his motherfucker. You ain't gonna never find it. They don't
Speaker 1: come outside, right, That's what I always say. It's like,
Speaker 1: whenever I see ship like that, I'm like, motherfucking show
Speaker 1: to myself. I'm everywhere I'm I ain't hard to find.
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna show it to myself. And now times
Speaker 1: I said, tell if they do, they're gonna be inligning
Speaker 1: the VP. They paid extra money to come down exactly.
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. It'd be motherfucker's. Man, Like
Speaker 1: this ship, there's a motherfucker Like if you used able
Speaker 1: to really go find who these motherfucker's, if you were
Speaker 1: laughing like I'm not doing it, and it's like you
Speaker 1: get it from people. Man. What's crazy is people that
Speaker 1: you might have came up with dog for some reason,
Speaker 1: they feel like your success is their success. And then
Speaker 1: he goes to extreme. I ain't talking about the homely
Speaker 1: they're going to come in and say, let me make
Speaker 1: the T shirts. That's gonna attribute something. It's always the
Speaker 1: motherfucker don't have nothing to offer. You're not gonna bring
Speaker 1: him to the table. But he feels like you're supposed
Speaker 1: to just bring him along. It's like what you just
Speaker 1: can't come like it cost money to bring the motherfucker
Speaker 1: with you. I've learned that ship the first time I
Speaker 1: got to England. But you get a lot of that
Speaker 1: when it comes from like uh like my like, like
Speaker 1: my man was saying, you get a lot of that
Speaker 1: when you come from where we come from. You got
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, whatever you've done or what
Speaker 1: can you do or what are you gonna do? And
Speaker 1: like for me, I had to transition out of that
Speaker 1: wanting to bang for the hood, even though I was
Speaker 1: making records in the beginning, like you said, everything was
Speaker 1: about the hood still, so you have to learn how
Speaker 1: to transition yourself from that to being that business, grow
Speaker 1: on up man or whatever. But I know, like I said,
Speaker 1: we've all had to come from that. You know what
Speaker 1: if you done or motherfucker put me on and ain't
Speaker 1: got shipped to contribute, I got I ain't got ship
Speaker 1: to contribute. But we from the We from the sand
Speaker 1: box fun So we from the sand box. So you know,
Speaker 1: like I like I said, I used to get hit
Speaker 1: up with. We need guns, we need dope, guns, and
Speaker 1: we need dope. That's what we need. Fuck some fucking
Speaker 1: rap shit, fuck some beats and ships and going on
Speaker 1: tour and videos. Nigger, we need guns and we need dope.
Speaker 1: That's what you can contribute. So it's a it's a
Speaker 1: high stress and you're supposed to have if you're a
Speaker 1: street motherfucker. Anyway, you gotta have a heat. I ain't
Speaker 1: looking for them give me a gun, I kept exactly,
Speaker 1: I got one. I ain't actual nobody to give me
Speaker 1: the ship. But being successful and being out there, being
Speaker 1: from the hood, the homies out of respect that one
Speaker 1: hunt Bam, the homies know who I'm sucking with. All
Speaker 1: the my rider dies the most of you. I can't
Speaker 1: take the whole hood the whole hood wouldn't with me.
Speaker 1: My journey was with that, my fucker, that my fuck
Speaker 1: that motherfucker them the ones I'm loyal to. Just because
Speaker 1: your homies don't mean you gotta be Are you loyal
Speaker 1: to everybody? One? Honey, I got your bag, But I'm
Speaker 1: not one hunt. This is what you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And a lot of cats in the hood don't understand that.
Speaker 1: Like dealing with Sugar, you know, we had so many
Speaker 1: motherfucker's I want to be a part of it. Just
Speaker 1: because he brings your border, say come to the office,
Speaker 1: don't mean I owe you what I'm giving him because
Speaker 1: this is my This motherfucker is beating the motherfucker's. This
Speaker 1: motherfucker don't win one hunt for me. I owe him.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I gotta give him. I
Speaker 1: got him. So motherfucker's don't understand the difference just because
Speaker 1: we're homies, don't Maybe we funk with each other. How
Speaker 1: many how many more fuckers you got in the hood
Speaker 1: that you really don't know? Straight up? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We only accepted the ones that was born
Speaker 1: and raised in the hood. Now, I think mother fuckers
Speaker 1: that came from watching now the claiming the hood or
Speaker 1: you you're coming on. But when you get rich man,
Speaker 1: everybody expected you to take them. You can't take everybody
Speaker 1: with you. But showing love and respecting the homies is
Speaker 1: I got the ones that was day one with me
Speaker 1: and they're good, you know what I'm saying. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's what the respect is. And if the homies see
Speaker 1: your grind and seeing you come up from here to there,
Speaker 1: them the ones gonna you don't know what the funk
Speaker 1: you're talking about, watch them off. Don't speak on the
Speaker 1: homies like that, you know what I'm saying. So that's
Speaker 1: where the respect comes from. The homies that you funk
Speaker 1: with that got you back, and you hear that type
Speaker 1: of ship and you ain't got to worry about that bullship.
Speaker 1: But you don't have that today because everybody want to come,
Speaker 1: Everybody want free money, definitely, everybody like um. All these
Speaker 1: experiences we're talking about, and I'm pretty sure earlier do
Speaker 1: you have to deal with any of that stuff I've
Speaker 1: been dealing with in my whole career. I've been dealing
Speaker 1: with my whole career. I ain't gonna saying no, names,
Speaker 1: but that was only from my neighborhood that was in
Speaker 1: and out. The pen got a good name the whole night.
Speaker 1: Everybody respected him. He was straight up came out, was

Speaker 1: out there. He put out a technolomy. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, my own homeboy from my hood, and I
Speaker 1: told him, what you're gonna do with that? You ain't
Speaker 1: gonna shoot me, you know what I'm saying. You think

Speaker 1: they came to criminal for Silver Leg for a reason.
Speaker 1: I mean, you think I'm a bitch out because you
Speaker 1: gotta strap him now, And he's like, oh, you gotta
Speaker 1: do this, do that that. That motherfucker got checked out
Speaker 1: of my head, and none of my homeboys claimed no more. So,
Speaker 1: when you keep it authentic with your people, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter how much motherfucker try to go against you. Your
Speaker 1: people are gonna write for you, you know, shame my
Speaker 1: home My homeboy in the room right here, he just

Speaker 1: of life still and you come from this banging ship
Speaker 1: and you make a name for yourself or you started.

Speaker 1: You from over here, so kicking in. So sometimes you
Speaker 1: have to stay in your ground about ship. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: start your own empire. When did you really know you
Speaker 1: was on to some ship? Though? When my dad car
Speaker 1: came from David Are, I knew it before because everyone's like, man,
Speaker 1: this this, that this, and man, I'm keeping the real
Speaker 1: my old label. There was a moment from two thousand
Speaker 1: and ten, I think through two thousand and fifteen they
Speaker 1: taught me straight out, nothing else in this label successful
Speaker 1: right now, anything else is pretty much flopping my ship.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not even fall back. And I dropped ship.
Speaker 1: I'm resigning you criminal three albums a year, let's go.
Speaker 1: And I was just dropping ship. I carried that label
Speaker 1: for five years by myself, so I was like, man,
Speaker 1: doing all this I'm doing all this work, I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 1: other people are kicking back collecting, it's time for me
Speaker 1: to do this ship. And then I got that call
Speaker 1: from David. Are started getting the movies, agents started popping.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it's time to do to do this
Speaker 1: ship myself. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, man, because
Speaker 1: this is cool, right, But that's what usually happened. You know,
Speaker 1: you get another avenue, and that's what happened. You got
Speaker 1: the other avenue outside of the music that that we're
Speaker 1: able to show you. And I do this ship on
Speaker 1: my own. Not to say it's any disrespect from what
Speaker 1: I was doing, but at one point in time, you
Speaker 1: gotta stand on your own two feet. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You got it, especially if you've got a
Speaker 1: family kids. You know, I can't be waiting on another
Speaker 1: nega to tell me when I can put a record out.
Speaker 1: I can't be waiting on another negat to hand me
Speaker 1: a check. I need to be collecting that money every
Speaker 1: month instead of every fucking six to seven eight months,
Speaker 1: to feel me. So that's how we get it, especially
Speaker 1: for us artists who were in this game. We're trying
Speaker 1: to support ourselves. We see that light like funk that ship, Like,
Speaker 1: no disrespect to you, but it's time for me to
Speaker 1: start eating on and some people hate that. You want
Speaker 1: to eat on your own too, on your own ship,
Speaker 1: off your own plate. You get a lot of scenarios
Speaker 1: with motherfucker's be like oh, they get mad, like Ship,

Speaker 1: a family. I got a wife, I got kids, I
Speaker 1: got bills, you get me. I could be getting all

Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like as you build,
Speaker 1: you pay your dudes. We all pay our dudes. When
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, somebody let us in the door. Okay,
Speaker 1: fuck it. You know, but at one point in time,
Speaker 1: man funk that man, I didn't take my own trash
Speaker 1: shop and that fun that ship, Yeah, that's real ship.
Speaker 1: So tell me this man, this movie should go blow
Speaker 1: your ship up to another level. And it's something of
Speaker 1: a touch on because you know, you always rock with
Speaker 1: the brothers, You always was who you was keeping gangster
Speaker 1: and everything, but you fuck with you know you fun,
Speaker 1: it would never know desension. You'll always make made motherfucker's
Speaker 1: feel love, you know what I mean? And so you
Speaker 1: pretty much did the song with everybody dog black community.
Speaker 1: Did you go that purposeful man and see, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put out rap music and I'm not putting the label
Speaker 1: on the ship. You know, I never liked the label.
Speaker 1: I mean I always felt like That's why always said
Speaker 1: I was a ladding the wrap. I didn't like the
Speaker 1: terms she kinda wrap. I didn't feel like that that
Speaker 1: needed to be put on us when I left that one.
Speaker 1: I'm not in no dispect, But when I think that
Speaker 1: you're gonna wrap, I think old motherfucker. That's rapping over
Speaker 1: all debts with like some doctors, sus friends, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like some rhyming the very last words
Speaker 1: like now we don't do that, we get down. I
Speaker 1: could spare. I can handle the best of my skins. Brown.
Speaker 1: I got brown prout of my stomach on from my bottom.
Speaker 1: But that only ship I could come in and spend
Speaker 1: my everywhere I grew up, everywhere I went, no matter
Speaker 1: what it's like, I always blamed with both sides. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you always an Yeah, yes, I
Speaker 1: blame it with both sides. To me, it was like
Speaker 1: I didn't really feel like they needed to be a label,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And then and then when
Speaker 1: I started making tracks with with with artists that weren't brown,
Speaker 1: and to me, I was like, Okay, this is a
Speaker 1: level of like at the end of the day, we're
Speaker 1: trying to get to that level where we're getting recognized mainstream,
Speaker 1: and this is the way to do it. We gotta
Speaker 1: be recognized that we're working together because out here we
Speaker 1: lived together. Motherfucker's live in the same bodies, whether they
Speaker 1: like it or not, the same hoods blocks, motherfuckers sharing,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it is what it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Because so I got to see it. I saw to
Speaker 1: come up man, and I was like, damn, he got
Speaker 1: a song with him. He got a song with him,
Speaker 1: and it was like crossing nobles. Like I said, everybody
Speaker 1: working with the music. Man, did you ever get me
Speaker 1: flex from your community for that, man? Because you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, we go back to the hater ship
Speaker 1: motherfucker's said you were sending. Did you ever have any
Speaker 1: motherfucker's to hear the problem with what she was doing
Speaker 1: quite a few times. With a matter of fact, I
Speaker 1: ain't gon send in the name of the hood. But
Speaker 1: there was a time when I did a song with
Speaker 1: the Spoder local Ginua and uh, my fuckers started getting
Speaker 1: on my line talking about they had a problem with it.
Speaker 1: So I invited on my video shoot on some shot.
Speaker 1: I said, we're about to shoot a video right here.
Speaker 1: I got a gang of bodies that are pulling up.
Speaker 1: You guys are more than welcome to pull up and
Speaker 1: let me know your issue with personally. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So they did. They all up and a
Speaker 1: couple of old Jews pulled up and they try to
Speaker 1: get at me strong and uh, I had a couple
Speaker 1: of my homies with me and I tuk. They tried speaking.
Speaker 1: I told now, I don't speaking for myself, so I
Speaker 1: gotta told me on inside of say on me with
Speaker 1: all due respect, whatever beef you guys got, that ain't
Speaker 1: my ship. And at the end of the day, that's
Speaker 1: how I feel. My family. I'm making music to put
Speaker 1: on for our community to be recognized. So you expect
Speaker 1: your your little petty beef and your issues to hold
Speaker 1: back what I'm doing and sucking my ship homey, don't
Speaker 1: come to me and try to tell me how to
Speaker 1: run my business like on some respectful ship, you know.
Speaker 1: And they see, you know, like ten minutes later there
Speaker 1: in the video on the back doing the gangsher. But
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, It was like, motherfucker's just
Speaker 1: gotta be told like sometimes that they're stuck in the
Speaker 1: mentality that that they were trained or it was instilled
Speaker 1: in them, but they ain't thinking for themselves. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I think for myself. Homi, I'm a
Speaker 1: motherfuckering leader. Ain't following what I'm saying. You guys to
Speaker 1: learn how to talk to a motherfucker telling straight up
Speaker 1: this is what it is. I don't know, disrespect, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grown ass man, and this is the rules
Speaker 1: I set for myself. Now, whatever you got going on
Speaker 1: the outside, that's your problem. But this ship right here here,
Speaker 1: this ain't got nothing to do with that ship. This
Speaker 1: is this is this is off track. So motherfucker's need
Speaker 1: to learn that too, because niggas trying to they try
Speaker 1: to infiltrate your ship with their little beefs. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, start hate anyways, because
Speaker 1: they just hating because they little honey on the block
Speaker 1: and doing that. You know what I'm saying, Because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if they really could splash
Speaker 1: that beef and get their people to wrap with them,
Speaker 1: he probably would. They did it them down, so you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, And that's the thing. Like
Speaker 1: a gamest chronicles the West Coast platform, we said we
Speaker 1: would have everybody on here. If you're from the West
Speaker 1: Coast and you're from the turf and you're putting on
Speaker 1: for your ship, Nope, we w have you. Only we
Speaker 1: don't give a funk what cod as long as you
Speaker 1: represent for the streets, as long as you got some
Speaker 1: history behind you, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, moms
Speaker 1: got some history behind you. So it was like, man,
Speaker 1: it's it's ship. Has me w here, dog man and
Speaker 1: shi you overre man. So as far as your label go, Man,
Speaker 1: how many artists on there? I mean artists never started
Speaker 1: about trying. Got about seventeen artists. Um, we took some
Speaker 1: really heaving blows this last year. One of my one
Speaker 1: of my front the front and all it's my homie
Speaker 1: g Ras um passed away my home bu Diablo, and
Speaker 1: we just got locked up maybe about a month ago
Speaker 1: on on a couple of murder charges. My homeboy center
Speaker 1: he got he got locked up on it, like I
Speaker 1: think it was like five attempted murders. So the problem is,
Speaker 1: I'll be trying to give a lot of really my homeboys,
Speaker 1: my real homies, not on streetcat not know like industry
Speaker 1: motherfucker's like, well stitcats. I funk with opportunities because I
Speaker 1: funk with him, you know what I'm saying. And some
Speaker 1: of them don't take the opportunity serious or they're just
Speaker 1: too deeply rooted in their their issues in the body,
Speaker 1: you know. So it is what it is. But we
Speaker 1: started off about seventeen and right now I think I
Speaker 1: got about like seven eight artists left, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I got my homily anemans like I'm homie
Speaker 1: crazy Boy, got my homies. Mr Grangy in Brazil. Um,
Speaker 1: We're working with a gang of different people, my homies,
Speaker 1: sick money criminals, my homies and hood affiliates, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So yeah, yeah, he's a bar spitting
Speaker 1: and that's that's one of my homies. We keep him
Speaker 1: touching the chamber right there, ready to go. You know,
Speaker 1: let motherfucker's know. We got bars on all day. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my homewies, Diablo and Senator, they're gonna be releasing some
Speaker 1: ship from prey and I'm still helping him. I still working.
Speaker 1: When am I just went in business and Lively then
Speaker 1: in County. Where is that I heard? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, you got you got some dudes over you
Speaker 1: guys meet over here. Man. So as far as like
Speaker 1: the movies and stuff, man, do you see that something
Speaker 1: man that you you empire, that you building? Man, you
Speaker 1: see there's something that you would possibly get into um
Speaker 1: and first producing him yourself and putting out your own
Speaker 1: It's crazy to say that because five years ago, before
Speaker 1: even David Are called me, before anything, I was shooting
Speaker 1: a lot of videos like I produced. I put this
Speaker 1: a lot of ship for a lot of cats, and
Speaker 1: my fucker's would be like, hey man, you shoot it
Speaker 1: was pretty dope, shoot some ship for me. So I
Speaker 1: ended up shooting a lot of ships like bone Thugs,
Speaker 1: t Q, I did some ship with ice Cube, just
Speaker 1: a lot of different cats, you know, And uh, I
Speaker 1: said fucking I could shoot for the cats, I should
Speaker 1: be able to shoot some ship for myself. So my
Speaker 1: humboy that I mentioned gras he was getting out of prisoner,
Speaker 1: I made him a promise like five years before he
Speaker 1: got locked up. I told, when you get out, because
Speaker 1: he wanted to wrap bad and he reminded me like
Speaker 1: his energy was just like mine, mine and my my
Speaker 1: hunger when I was first trying to start. So I
Speaker 1: promised him, I said, keep yourself out of trouble home.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it you a deal. I'm sucking do
Speaker 1: some shift for you. He got out and I wrote
Speaker 1: him a role in the movie. It's called The Final Ride,
Speaker 1: and we wrote it and unfortunately passed away. He actually
Speaker 1: died like three days before it was released. But um,
Speaker 1: I never got to see even see the movie. I
Speaker 1: was saving the movie to show him. So that's a
Speaker 1: surprising ship, and uh, unfortunately he didn't get to see it.
Speaker 1: But that movie just got picked up by Amazon and
Speaker 1: it's getting most likely going to be going to Hulu, Netflix, everything.
Speaker 1: So even the ship, now that's my first director's credit,
Speaker 1: you know IMDb. So it's like without even trying to
Speaker 1: go and now I got I got directors, actors, credits, writers, credits,
Speaker 1: scoring because I got in Crossing the Inn, the movies
Speaker 1: and ship like the Hommyaden, the whole ship. Man, It's
Speaker 1: just it's a blessing, you know. Well, you know something
Speaker 1: makes up leaving God. I know sometimes, Man, when God
Speaker 1: got something for you, can't nobody stuff to stop. You know,
Speaker 1: stop it, you know what I'm saying. So what I'm saying, man,
Speaker 1: it's like this king, you know, can't take that from you.
Speaker 1: You're definitely doing your thing. Man, what's next though, Ship,
Speaker 1: I'm starting this studio Ship, me and my Homi Critical.
Speaker 1: We're about to drop us sounds of about in Part
Speaker 1: three Urban legend Um. Should I got a car business
Speaker 1: that I just started. I'm in the middle of flipping
Speaker 1: classic cars about the first three for myself. So I'm
Speaker 1: keeping the mother yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but I'm
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm just going heavy on the march. The
Speaker 1: merch Uh. Ever since you know, the chronavirus stopped even before,
Speaker 1: but ever since the coronavirus started, Uh, it went like
Speaker 1: through the roof. You know what, has been crazy merchandise
Speaker 1: and it's been really good for US, US independent independence.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying and a street cats, that's
Speaker 1: that's pushing that line. It seems that people are getting
Speaker 1: out of the well on our level, they're getting out
Speaker 1: of buying all the fancy bullshit and and starting to
Speaker 1: wear their own lines and representing urban lines and because
Speaker 1: you know, lines like my man producing. So that's that's
Speaker 1: also a good I mean, you gotta make moves, man,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's it. And then one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things I'm focusing on them right now is my kennel.
Speaker 1: I got crying family kennels, and I'm changing the game
Speaker 1: with that. I got a gang of exoetics. I'm introducing
Speaker 1: uh fluffy frendcheo bulldogs to the game. I got sucking
Speaker 1: some colors and some bloodlines that my fucker's all around
Speaker 1: the world they're trying to get right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got that right talking about it. Man, You see
Speaker 1: what you're doing when I know that you've got multiple
Speaker 1: streams of stuff coming, you know, not being in your
Speaker 1: business and stuff like that, but you're doing really bullshit
Speaker 1: boss level ship. You got this right here. How important
Speaker 1: is do you think that I don't rappers that versus
Speaker 1: Friday portfolios? I think it's the most important thing because
Speaker 1: we all know to be honest with you and the
Speaker 1: truth I come from from. I don't want to say
Speaker 1: the old school because now ship at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, it ain't that long ago. But from from
Speaker 1: old school compared to how it is now, ain't no streaming.
Speaker 1: I came from when it was physical CDs. You gotta
Speaker 1: get a gilt. But you know if the thumb records,
Speaker 1: build universal records for the distribution, so you had to
Speaker 1: actually have a deal. It wasn't just like you get
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, put it out and everybody sees that ship.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So um, I think I
Speaker 1: think more of the hunger from the beginning and seeing
Speaker 1: that side of it transferring to this side, it makes
Speaker 1: you just know how to how to go because, like
Speaker 1: I said, the reason why I bring that up is,
Speaker 1: back in the day's artists were always the lowest on
Speaker 1: the total poet We got the very least amount of anything.
Speaker 1: You know, we had to get up and from going
Speaker 1: to go do shows. So it's like I always was
Speaker 1: told back then. I remember one of the homies had
Speaker 1: told me way back in the day. He's like, you
Speaker 1: just wrap Ship. It's just a wait for them to
Speaker 1: know your name and they go bang them on different avenues,
Speaker 1: hit him with a clothing line, hit him with this
Speaker 1: and them with that, and Ship. I started producing. I
Speaker 1: started slinging versus I started doing my clothing line. I
Speaker 1: built my own studio like when I was like nineteen twenty,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's just it's just
Speaker 1: been a blessing ever since. You know, for man, this
Speaker 1: man out a hustle man. With all your ventures that
Speaker 1: you've got going on, Where can the people go find
Speaker 1: that stuff? That everything ship right now? Right now? Cry
Speaker 1: Family Entertainment com I mean that's where all my information to,
Speaker 1: all my avenues and my links and my strings, right.
Speaker 1: I mean you could book get at me direct, California
Speaker 1: Love Studios, my homie Critical. I mean, we're just working
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. Cran Family Kennels. I mean Ship.
Speaker 1: You could search me on IMDb if I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get at me for some active ship on the show
Speaker 1: up whatever. You know, my man, the world was greater man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's doing it. Thirty thirty I was from thirty
Speaker 1: three albums. Dumb about thirty three albums a d how
Speaker 1: many records you think ship millions millions of my first
Speaker 1: album is criminal Mentality, Universal Thumb. I think that ship
Speaker 1: did like seven hundred fifty eight hundred thousand, and that's
Speaker 1: just ghetto, ghetto gold, you know what I'm saying. So yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know how it was building the bag over there, Man,
Speaker 1: you'd platinum, you don't know what you could use that
Speaker 1: same force, but you don't sold a thousands that I'm
Speaker 1: right there with all blue racks food, with the blue
Speaker 1: rack curb behind, we did a half a million in
Speaker 1: the streets. So I mean, I could tell you that
Speaker 1: right there, like we were just there was a point
Speaker 1: where this quote unquote you're gonna wrap was running ship.
Speaker 1: There was nothing that was sucking with it in the
Speaker 1: coast like period. I'm just keeping really now. I was
Speaker 1: there and hit his wave, you know what, just like
Speaker 1: they get thrown bulls didn't at the one point we
Speaker 1: were killing me and at that point we were running
Speaker 1: that ship, there was nobody sucking with us, just millions
Speaker 1: of records. Song. I was there because there was a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of the homies told about he was going
Speaker 1: to throw signs deals with criminals because he was gonna

Speaker 1: like they had the streets on like see with the
Speaker 1: Messian homies figured out. They stuck to the script of
Speaker 1: how games reps thirty remember what easy and it used
Speaker 1: to be able to conten street. They kept there, They
Speaker 1: kept the streets. They wasn't trying to run the radio
Speaker 1: when you sunk with the streets, dog, That's what I
Speaker 1: tell people not to this day. And then you had
Speaker 1: the co following because it's that particular ship you know me,

Speaker 1: coke following them. When you got that co following, it's
