222
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: everything was. Everything is gonna be different because the way

223
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: they got down in Oakland, the way you getting down

224
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: in Chicago is totally different. The way they wrap their ship,

225
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: the way they sell it. Um. Like in Compton, you

226
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: had thirty month fuckers like on the block, but they

227
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: was all homies. Everybody was like this at the beginning.

228
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: Let's get a year in, eight months in it. Now

229
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: everybody fell apart, and now we're fighting over that block

230
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: in that block. So and then you get the same

231
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: thing in Open you got the same fucking effect. Now

232
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: there's over territory. You know what I'm saying. But the

233
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: cold part is, you know some something got out of

234
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: it because they couldn't deal with it. Like you said,

00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna be the eyeball or be like the

00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: goofball nigga and just and be like I'm the user

462
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: my life all the one on one and shouldn't let

463
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: it go fuck it. I remember I started sucking with

464
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: ten and then at eighty seven, and uh, I just

465
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: kind of like just shook all that ship because that

466
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: ain't how they rolled and then it was um one

467
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: nigga in his crew. My niggah was the only one

468
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: who was loud and clear in front of everybody. Blah

469
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: blah blah. He still he's tell storing the ship and

470
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: he lied with it and just everything. But the boss

471
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: he got money so he could do that. And then

472
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: I went to his house to watch the super Bowl

473
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight. I will never forget this fucking day.

474
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: A whole crew over there. We watched the super Bowl.

475
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: I Chris at his house. He was being a little

476
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: more loose with it, and he was a higher up

477
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: in the crew, so he wasn't really like being judged

478
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: by the rest of him. That was just his style.

479
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: So I like, I'm gonna hint this ship. I took

00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: I ain't touched the ship probably like eight months or something.

482
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: I got the sweating. I ain't telling nobody what I

00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: but that that that was enough for me. Just getting

497
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: around and conditioning of some players and ballers. That was

498
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: that that look down on that lifestyle and then and

499
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: then hitting it back again and hell no like that.

509
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: lake vrp ricords. They had to take everything because you

510
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: know I talk and that's what he talked about. You said, Man,

511
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,320

00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: with a thowsand tapes, and we bought all thoughs and

513
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: the motherfuckers and he'd be up the road somewhere. Was

514
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: just trump like, like just you knew the people you

515
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: could drop them off with, come back and get it later.

516
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: You knew the people that would just buy them out right,

517
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: And then I knew the little one stops that are

518
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: shipping out to the other stories of people I didn't know.

519
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: We just knew that managed to literally brod I ain't

520
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna life. I had nothing to go on on how

521
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: to run this business except drug dealing. So basically we

522
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: looked at everything like it was the cop you flipped

523
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: the ship. You make your profit, you save your real money,

524
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: you flipped the ship. That's how I didn't even know

525
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: how to think about the ship any other way. And

526
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: literally that's what we did. We we just was selling dope.

527
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: I haven't called the ship dopee music. It was that

528
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: that was this mentality because there was a lot of

529
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: dude who was out the trunk back and then even

530
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: down here. Yeah, I say the Todd and Spade and

531
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: all in. We had a few dudes no matter how much,

532
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: no matter how much motherfucking money I made off music

533
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: and I was getting it. I was never the nigga

534
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: in the crew, you know, the niggas with the money.

535
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: I would never got up where they was at. Never

536
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: they had too much shit that so man, so y'all

537
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 1: rolling up, Man, I want you to go back to

538
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: that exact moment, man, when we shot Rickards called, y'all

539
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: want to know how you know, how was you feeling?

540
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: Man like? Job wasn't really like. It wasn't like niggas

541
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: was jumping for joy and like happy because of the

542
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: label called It's nineteen eighty eight. When I got the

543
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: call from Job, we've been running this boy to Mac,

544
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm about I'm about to put another album together. I was.

545
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: I was about to put the life It's too Short

546
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: together and just keep doing what I do. And Chide

547
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: called and it wasn't It was never about the money

548
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: they was offering. It was it wasn't even about a

549
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: label deal. It was really like, I'm like, Okay, these

550
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: are the motherfuckers that put out Kumo D, Whodini who else?

551
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: They ahead at the time, because that was enough right

552
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: there for me though, because Kumo D was top dog,

553
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: that Kumodi was top dog and who then he got

554
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: a damn right when they signed me. They signed they

555
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: signed Bookie Down Productions, they signed me, they signed will Smith,

556
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: French Prince, and they was you know, they were just

557
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: into it. It was it was going there, you know.

558
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: So I'm like, and I think it was a good choice.

559
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of the good artists back then.

560
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Jibe was it was the right type of label for

561
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: what I was doing because they wasn't really like Death

562
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Jam was like no at all, Like I would have

563
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: went over to death Jam signed up and rust on

564
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: them would have probably been manipulating me to pushing me

565
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: in a certain direction and convince me because they know

566
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: more than me, like do this, do that, and they'd

567
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: have made a nigga like like be some kind of

568
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: superstar and some ship. And I was like, nah, nigga,

569
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm a nigga that to do a show for twenty

570
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: five thousand people and walk right the fuck off the

571
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: stage into the crowd. Now not back to the backstage,

572
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: right to the motherfuck crowd and start working with the

573
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: people in the crowd and don't give a fuck, Like

574
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: literally walked through the whole Damn Marina and death Jam

575
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't let me. They wouldn't let me do that thing.

576
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: Deaf Jam is like, you gotta have you gotta be

577
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: a superstar, you gotta be, can't be, you know, would

578
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: over project, They like, you want to be a pimp,

579
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna make you super pimp and some ship. But

580
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: I was stous and extras speaking of the pimp and left.

581
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: Apart from that, man, I got ask as I always

582
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, you were ever really a fucking

583
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: pen So the dream was, you know, your parents would

584
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: be like, I need you to go do something productive

585
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: in the world, and then you're rebelling with the hip

586
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: hop shit, nobody believing that the ship gonna work. So

587
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: my backup plan was always I think I could break

588
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: a home. I think I could do this shit, so

589
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: I never had to do it out of necessity. But

590
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: later in life, shit just start happening. Man, like my homies,

591
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: who really pimp and that I've been hanging around my

592
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: whole life. It's funny to them, and some of them

593
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: even would get mad at me for not taking advantage

594
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: because we'd be in a moment and some bit should

595
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: be star struck on too short, But then she's a

596
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: real hole and she'd be hitting like, nigga, what out

597
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: I would? I would, if you know what I'm saying,

598
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: And then I just kind of like shake it out.

599
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: They're like, Brad, you fucking up like you could be

600
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: the biggest pimp out here, and I'm like, look at

601
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: if I'm the biggest pimp out here and I'm making

602
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: two short records, I'm going to jail niggah incrimination instantly.

603
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: So I had a little thing that I would do. Man,

604
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: It's just like I just give my my feet wet

605
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Like I felt like if I had

606
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: to tell a bitch to go Hope for me, then

607
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing too much. But if I Hope came to

00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: giving me money, then I'm like, I fucked with you too.

610
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,560

Speaker 1: um from their own you know. I basically uh tied,

895
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 1: kind of calmed down a little bit. We talked after

896
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: a while and it was like, you know, brother, it's

897
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: just uh, it's already in the in the contract. We

898
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: got together as partners that we just disaw the company

899
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: and you take your cut and keep it pushing. So

900
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: I had two partners back then, Randy that which was

901
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: Dean's cousin and tied. Jerry had fault. He fell out

902
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: way back, way down the line. We lost Jerry, the

903
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: little brother. We lost him. He didn't he didn't have

904
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: a house. He mad at me right now, love me

905
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: like a brother, but stay mad at me. But the politics. Brother.

906
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: So then I literally just it was probably when I

907
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: moved to Atlanta, I broke teed off something. You know,

908
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: this this the company. I brought Randy off, saving the company,

909
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: and I just changed the whole shit. And I ain't

910
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: looking back since. So it was, you know, it was

911
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. Now, we could have liked Chris, the

912
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: whole ship, the politics, it could have been without that shit. Man.

913
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: But you know, so pretty much just the average nigga

Speaker 1: all that shit. If the best for jet to come.

919
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: They had no idea. I was when they're gonna run

920
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: and they jumped ship. So it's cool she didn't know

921
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: me happening. Carmos a motherfucker. I mean, you know, Nigga

922
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: could have fell off fact of that, or it could

923
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: have been you know whatever. James often we had them conversations, man,

924
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: because it all goes back and this is old step

925
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: and it all goes back to CNAs coming down pretty

926
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: much almost like would intend to just kicking up starting

927
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: some ship. But that kind of was his personality. We

928
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: just wasn't suposed to. It wasn't supposed to get that serious.

929
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: You know. I got on the phone and say, bra

930
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: I really got thirty racks explained to him as money

931
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: could have been like we's getting money from different shit,

932
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: Like it could have been like the thing is this, bro,

933
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: we got a podcast together. Right, If James go out

934

00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: get the million dollars me and they can't coming him

937
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: like James, Man, what's up? We need to cut of that.

938
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: You know that don't make no sense that what I

939
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: tell you when you shared that if if if they

940
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: take me, they don't take all three, they ain't. I'm

941
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: not talking about I'm saying that sh fuck that ship still.

942
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: If I can't get out of that part, the cold

943
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 1: part of about you. You have what we call clicks,

944
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: the homies kicking it. But then at the end of

945
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: the day, before we get rich, somebody fall off the motherfucker.

946
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: Because now we're thinking, damn, I see this nigga, count

947
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: this money. I went to the bathroom. I know he

948
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: puts him in his pocket. That's how we think right now,

949
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: we're thinking all fucked up. Now if she got I

950
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: wonder if he got more than I got, if he

951
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: got more than I watched that ship with with with

952
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: with Shugar and his company, with all these different motherfuckers

953
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: that was in it, how people was mad on how

954
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: much money they was making and what they wouldn't getting,

955
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: and it fused everything up. We can't work together. That's

956
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: why I tell him, Gangster Chronicle is gonna work together. Brian,

957
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: come to this motherfucker. Now, y'all ain't gotta pay me.

958
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm just working with y'all. But ship, we all fen

959
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: to get the check. We all gonna eat, and we

960
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: don't have to. But the ones that didn't want to

961
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: be there work their way out the situation definitely, and

962
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's a cycle shutting down. So

963
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: when I look back on all this shit, though, I

964
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: go on like runs, like it's just run. We get

965
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: a run, I get a run in with a group

966
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: of people, and we get a bag, and we're on

967
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: that run, and it's gonna come to an end, and

968
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: some of us gonna stay friends for life, and some

969
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: of us gonna forget each other and we're gonna let

970
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: me see each other again, and just we gotta run.

971
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: I could have been it's been so long now. I

972
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: mean I could have been best friends with a motherfucker

973
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: for three years, and from ninety eighty nine to ninety

974
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: two we're best friends. I don't even remember that motherfucker

975
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: right now. It's been that. It's been that many places

976
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: and faces and set up shops, and you know what

977
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Real motherfuckers don't come and go like that.

978
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, when they fake and shit, they they they

979
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna come and go. Real motherfuckers should be around. If

980
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: y'all got the same agenda, y'all trying to reach the

981
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: same motherfucking destination. But fake motherfuckers, they just want to

982
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: get in. At that point, John jump on a motherfucking

983
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: train and then jump off when there's another, when it's

984
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: a better situation. Let me ask you a question. Short,

985
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to be message, we ain't want to

986
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: play the shows, but that situation wouldn't have enough to

987
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: do with the reason why I see you next. You

1074
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 1: don't know why they turned on me, but it was like,

1075
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 1: we're more supporting the local artists. And you moved Atlanta,

1076
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: so it's kind of like you out of sight, you

1077
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: out of mind, and you know it's nothing personal, but

Speaker 1: feelings hurt. It was like a lot of shit. So

1128
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: that's the story Chris was saying the day at the

1129
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: summer Jam, he was trying to explain it to us,

1130
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: the story about about how they looked up to me

1131
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: and I heard they feelings and they made the song

1132
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: because it was you know, they was mad. But then

1133
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: one of my homies was in the room that we

1134
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: chopping up, chopping it up with and a lot of

1135
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: niggas don't know that the backstory, but the homie and

1136
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: Chris was fucking the same broad at some point in time,

1137
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: and the broad told the broad told the other homie,

1138
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: not Chris. She told the other homie that Chris said,

1139
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even know why you fuck with

1140
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: them broadcast niggas, or why you're sucking that broadcast nigga,

1141
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, like like he got more money than the

1142
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: nigga pillow talking, which is always be checking some ship

1143
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,919
Speaker 1: when you're sitting there telling the bitch while you're laying

1144
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: sideways something bad about the next nigga. Somehow the ship

1145
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: always get back to the nigga. So so the homie

1146
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: was like Christ's just talking story. We kind of like

1147
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: we was trying to work out the thing where we

1148
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: could walk on stage and shit, and the homies just

1149
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: sitting there twitching and ship looking at Chris Child's fucking

1150
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: story about the loonies, uh being Phyllis, hurt and ship.

1151
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: And then he just yelled out, they ain't about all

1152
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: that fucking shit Chris and just two pieces in the

1153
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: ship and kicked him in. They turned the story and

1154
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: then we jumped him in some ship. But really it

1155
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: was all emotional. The nigga was all he was only

1156
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: mad about the bitch and with the bitch said he

1157
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: had been mad about that ship. And I liked the

1158
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: other version of the story because they go out a

1159
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: lot and make it seem so gangious, like we wrote

1160
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: him to the concert, Vintide dragged the nigga, beat him down,

1161
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: and shit did not happen. It didn't have. The radio

1162
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: station tried to um to do a slander campaign on

1163
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: me after after the concert, and they tried to say

1164
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: they put the story out there. We did all this shit,

1165
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: like we came up like like like start a ride,

1166
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: and they shut the showdown early. It was supposed to

1167
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: be like two more groups that went on. E forty

1168
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: didn't didn't get to go on that night. They tried

1169
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: to start some ship between me and forty. All this shit,

1170
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: all this shit came from the whole. It's all like

1171
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: a domino effect. Like literally the reason why me and

1213
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: sitting there with too short. This is about ask Yeah,

1214
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: you do your research, you go back to shit. I

1215
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: don't even know, you know, because this is against the chronicles. Man.

1216
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: So we got to talk about some stuff that's going

1217
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: on now the streets. Man. What do you feel about

1218
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the political climate now? Man? What's going on with black

1219
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: American man? Just in general? All right, well, well he

1220
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: probably not the interrupt, but he kind of spoke on

1221
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: it a little bit earlier when he said ship the

1222
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: police was always fuller, the nigga over and all that. So,

1223
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to kind of elaborate on that

1224
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: shit of how it really ain't nothing changed. But you know,

1225
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: the thing that we're dealing with now is you gotta realize, right,

1226
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: now that from the intro a crack. When you found

1227
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: out how Freeway, Freeway Rick was all in that circle

1228
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: of the ship with the fucking war they was funding

1229
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: and the CIA was was letting the dope land in La.

1230
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: You think about that ship, and um, you think about

1231
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: the Dave Ronald Reagan said I declare war on drugs,

1232
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: and they came with to just say no. And it

1233
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: was like this whole scare tactic campaign about the you know,

1234
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: the scary criminals in the inner cities and shit. So

1235
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: then then we got the crack. Now, I know, in

1236
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: nineteen whatever, the fun eighty whatever, when they fucking start

1237
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: free basing cocaine. What, no motherfucking nigga went and spent

1238
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars on some powder and said, she I'm

1239
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: a poort this shit into a bottle of water and

1240
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: let's set it on fire and make it into a rock.

1241
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: That shit is some chemistry ship. That ship is some

1242
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: science ship. And when the crack was economically broken down

1243
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: to be affordable in the ghetto, and the ship was

1244
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: given to people like Freeway Rick just you know, like

1245
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: just here you free to select man. All that ship

1246
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: was one big fucking setup bron The ship was a

1247
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: setup to where you know, you know, the gangs I

1248
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: don't even know where wrapped the gags would have winning.

1249
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for crack, they wouldn't they wouldn't have

1250
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: turned into crack gangs. Gangs would have been they probably wouldn't,

1251
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what I'm saying, They wouldn't

1252
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: have been with it what it is, and then bring

1253
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: it out so that all of a sudden we like

1254
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: eighty four eighty five is crack. Thing is jumping off

1255
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: and a couple of years into that ship, now if

1256
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: you got a rock and a fucking gun, they really

1257
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: put you away for a hell along, you know what

1258
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And then then they you know, the whole

1259
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: ship with the powder and ship and they you know,

1260
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: the white waves, it's just song out of powder and ship,

1261
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: and they like ain't really stressing them out at all.

1262
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: But you can get caught with a gun. It's some

1263
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,919
Speaker 1: powder and you don't get eight thousand years in jail.

1264
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: But if you got a fucking rocking again, your asses out.

1265
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: And and then not only so, so not only was

1266
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: setting all these these situations up for you to get

1267
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: fucked off they was purposely pressing the line in the hood.

1268
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: So only mostly like on our side, Mexicans and niggas

1269
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: got it, you know what I'm saying. On the other side,

1270
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: Puerto Ricans and niggas got you know what I'm saying.

1271
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't They wasn't pressing the line to bust people

1272
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: in the suburbs. It was only fucking with the hood.

1273
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: But the city like Oakland, was signed up for the

1274
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: program on the War on crime. So if you if

1275
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: you bust so many people and convict so many people,

1276
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: we'll send you more weapons, We'll send you more budget,

1277
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: we'll send you more cars. Like you know what I'm saying.

1278
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: So they had incentive policing to get the numbers up

1279
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: because they want the good numbers for the war on crime.

1280
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: So now they're setting up all these fucking laws. We're

1281
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: in a fucking trap fighting over the hood. We ain't

1282
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: buying the hood. We're killing each other over the block.

1283
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: And niggas is just like just we ushered in a

1284
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: whole new era of slavery, modern day slavery, the mass incarceration.

1285
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: They locked us the fuck up. They locked all our

1286
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: homies up. Nigga, if your homie got a cold case.

1287
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 1: He wasn't too much different than the homie that got murdered.

1288
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: You're like, damn, I ain't finn to see the homie

1289
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: no mog gon. And in nineteen eighty the stats or

1290
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: something like well, Ronald Reagan said war on Crime, it

1291
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: was probably like five hundred thousand people in American jails prisons.

1292
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: Now it's like over two millions. And all the motherfuckers

1293
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: came from the hood, a whole bunch of blacks and Hispanics,

1294
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: and basically they just like they just they just out

1295
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,600

01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,320

01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: and you're sitting there going on there, I mean the trap.

1307
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,600

Speaker 1: got out exactly, we didn't get the motherfucking twenty years sitties.

1309
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: If you ask me, it was all just designed. It's

1310
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 1: a setup, That's all I'm saying right now. It's a setup.

1311
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: And we the motherfuckers. If you're from the eighties, you're

1312
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: the motherfucking generation that got set the fuck up the

01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: guinea pigs the first one. But how long is you

01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna keep falling for the fact that, uh, you know,

1315
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: the ship that's gonna get you all that time in jail.

1316
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: You know. Let me ask you this because I always

1317
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: to me James talk about voting. James has a certain

1318
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: feeling of both votes. Do you feel like this a

1319
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: voice of time? I feel that shit too, dog? What

1320
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: does it do? I mean, if you really look at

1321
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: vote or not, I can't paign for the cause and

1322
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: I support certain ship when I'm like, if I'm like

1323
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 1: not feeling a certain thing a certain candidate, support the

1324
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: other motherfucker and by doing benefit performances or or a

1325
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: fucking path. What do you feel about this presidential but

1326
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, you can even you can't

1327
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: even include Obama's to two terms. I'm feeling like, man,

1328
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: my whole life, I ain't. I ain't seen nothing from

1329
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:52,759
Speaker 1: the presidents except the same exact thing. But it's democratic Republican,

1330
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: it's not. It ain't nobody coming through with the campaign

1331
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: premises and making shit fucking happen. So motherfuckers need to

1332
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: stop ripping off of who the fucking president is and

1333
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: start worrying about who the motherfucker's creating the laws that

1334
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: fuck with a lot of us. That's what the sent

1335
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:13,600
Speaker 1: is important. Local politics exactly, like the local politics and

1336
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the Senate really the ship that impact us. What do

1337
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: you think James to be inquired? And I'm looking because

1338
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm listening to Jo, but I mean, like I said,

1339
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: everything was a design. He goes way way before the

1340
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: eighties with us, we put ourselves in a situation because

1341
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: the police couldn't infiltrate in this. They had one of

1342
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: us in there to do it. And we got a

1343
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 1: lot of brothers that sold brothers out back in those days.

1344
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: But it's short for the little money that they did give.

1345
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 1: And then they create a program, they create programs should

1346
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 1: keep you where you at, stagnate you just like with us,

1347
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: like when you say, ain't no prither in the house,

1348
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have really mattered if you had the daddy

1349
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: in the house or whatever. With all the ship that

1350
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: was going on, we set back and watched half of

1351
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: the ship crack off go the way it went. You

1352
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that now we're fighting and killing

1353
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: each other over the same ship. These motherfuckers put it here,

1354
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like you said, the trap,

1355
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: that's all that shit was. We shit, and we're sitting

1356
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: and there getting drunk, ain't paying attention and passing ship

1357
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: through the windows, through the doors, the whole nine. We

1358
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't giving the fuck. But this is what they showed

1359
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: us where we was at, and we we fucked with that.

1360
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: That's what we rolled with and we're still doing it

01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, that's what we need, you know. But other

1407
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: than that, man, you just nothing else matters. Man. You

1408
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Shit been flipping the same way

1409
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: for generations. You know what I'm saying. I can say,

1410
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: back to when I started running around, shit ain't changed.

1411
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: Like James say, you can vote for whatever, take your choice, Democrat, Republican.

1412
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, start start peeping

1413
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,440
Speaker 1: out what's going on in your own section, in your neighborhood,

1414

1417
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I think. What I'm trying to say, though, is a

1418
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: it's almost gangster, it's almost real gangster, not to be

1419
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 1: gangster in the long run, In the long run, you

1420
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: know what, man, it is. And you know when I

1426
01:13:56,560 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: this point nobody can remember, like you really go around

01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: and just ask motherfuckers like like nigga, who who's your enemy?
