You're obviously you're in 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.160 the music video. It's a moment the HS eighty seven 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.880 album comes out. Were you able to kind of like 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.880 see like the g Unit remix of that song and 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.640 all that stuff when you were out or did that 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.040 all happen? Like? What? What? What? At what point in time? 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.480 Did we was in New York when we actually thought 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.160 the song was our song. We was riding in New 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.240 York and we heard it, We heard him, were like 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.199 what the fuck, Like my nigga, you need to holler 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:17.959 at you. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.360 Yeah. No, that was a crazy moment because because like 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.959 like you said, I think a lot of people, especially 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.560 on the East Coast, had kind of like saying. 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:28.400 Go shit, what're saying? 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.560 You don't even take your wife back? For people who 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.280 don't know, the last time he was on the show, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.679 he had a dinosaur mask on. We're gonna have to 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:45.560 cut to that. Don't forget his iPad. iPad is a must. Sure, no, 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.360 but I think a lot of a lot of people 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.600 who weren't hip to what y'all were doing assumed that 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.800 was like a G unit record. That was wild. That 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:54.440 was wild. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.760 Like I remember we we was in New York, like 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.240 you said, we landed, we heard that joint and we 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.240 actually pulled up on fifty and chopped it with him 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.200 that day, and the nigga was like showing love, like 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.240 he was breaking down niggas versus knew who everybody was 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.079 on the song. I had the whole squad out there 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.320 in New York, you know what I mean. So you 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:12.680 know what I mean. But then it kind of just 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.040 like fast forward just kind of was like niggas they 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.400 low key just snatched the swag up. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:20.560 They didn't for sure. 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.960 That's one of my favorite I mean I was like 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.799 the last uh, you know time niggas took g Unit series. 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.000 Was like all Norse swags. So that's actually not too 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.880 far from the truth in terms of a group living. 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.160 I don't know if anybody. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.200 Else literally is the truth. That was the last moment 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.040 they had, you know what I mean, because they had. 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.920 Even what was that random dude that a kid kid 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.040 was on it?

I've been 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.600 in the position whereped down there at least seven or 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.320 eight times when I was like twenty twenty two, no insurance, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.240 might tap somebody. You know what I'm saying? You know? 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.320 Yeah, Nah, it's shit. Niggas just trying to rob me, 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.280 you feel me. I'm coming from a humble county with 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.320 like one hundred pounds a tree and niggas on we 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.320 hitting red lights, running, niggas shooting all kinds of shit, 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.240 and we crashed and jumped out and ran, but the 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.039 other people got hurt. So they were saying that, you know, 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.000 basically the whole argument was saying that I should have 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.760 stopped and assisted the people in the car who were 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.600 trying to rob you.
