0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.680

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>That was in Richmond, Cally first I've seen it when

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.440

<v Speaker 1>So that's how hold. I was putting the posters on

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>my own. Man, you know, I get this. I was

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>in New York and Hallam and uh, I'm putting up

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a poster. The dude said, man, that's you. I say, no, man,

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>we're all looking like so because I know if I

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>paid somebody, they was gonna just s throw my posts away.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I couldn't compete with like a big it was

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>just too big. They was everywhere. So I'm like I

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>had to go do this one and I shoot dice.

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm in I'm in Brooklyn shooting dice playing basketball.

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.800

<v Speaker 1>back in my car and I sell C d s

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and head back home. So that's that's really how like

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>New York really start taking told of me from the

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>South because they really wasn't listening to Southern Hill. But

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 1>we will always um and I'm from New York so

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I can say this. We will always run into recollabels.

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>So it was amazing to see a person like, you

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, and here that you have like

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a seventy thirty or twenty deal. My friend Dave Winer

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 1>from party, he was that strange I had said he

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.439
<v Speaker 1>signed made it a strange And he was telling me

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>about when he first came across you and he had

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to go back to the labe and he's like, yeah,

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>we can't just give this guy a normal deal. When

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I first seen Day one, man, I thought he was

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the police. He coming up, So I really, man, I

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.839
<v Speaker 1>could have been made you know, two years before he

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.199
<v Speaker 1>came back there in Holland that I call one of

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>my falls. I said, who that is? Five? He was like,

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I said, man, he kept coming

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for him. He'll tell you. So he come back

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>up trying to give me a couple of a couple

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 1>of years and I'm like, man, look, I finally say, man,

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you know you keep coming back and who was you? Man,

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Proud the Records. I said, Man, come on, man,

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what I knew? I was like, all right, And I

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>told him, I said, people don't know. Sometimes you got

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to invest in yourself. So I went to Michael Jackson Atturn.

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta everybody wanted to be in the music business,

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>but you need to know your business at that time,

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the business of the music. Yeah. So I went to

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson was the highest paid entertainment at that time

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:58.439
<v Speaker 1>at a record and I said, uh. I went to

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 1>his attorney. He said, Man, if I'm gonna sitting on,

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>which is gonna coach you? Twenty five thousand dollars. That's

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>attorney told you. That's his retainer just to sit down.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Sit down. I can't afford this. Still, Yeah, I'm sorry,

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>So I give him the twenty five I wouldn't sit

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>down with me, say man, look, the only way you're

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a deal bigger than Michael Jackson is a

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>distribution deal, and it's an eighty five fifteen deal. But

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>then you're gonna have to come up with about two

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred or three hundred thousand dollars. I say, no, we

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>just say that what you need for marketing if you're

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 1>gonna get that deal, I'm like, dude, that's get you

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty five thousand and tell me I need two hundred

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.719
<v Speaker 1>to three hundred thousand. But this was probably the best

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five grand I spent in my life because after that,

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>that's all I wanted. I wanted distribution. There every record

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>company that came at me say they wanted distribution. Then

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 1>then when when Proudy came, you know, they said, if

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna pay the marketing, you're gonna get you that deal.

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's what happened. I end up I end up

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 1>making more money than the record company. Wow. So so

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>from us in New York at the time, right we

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>had heard the records, but we didn't we didn't get

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.439
<v Speaker 1>to see the visuals. But what took us over was

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the movie about about it was because we only heard

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>how crazy the South fit like we didn't really know,

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>like we didn't know no until we see I'm about

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>it about it? What made you even think of that?

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 1>What made you say, you know what, I'm I'm I'm

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.199
<v Speaker 1>gonna film myself because you did this all on your own.

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Would that be considered the first like hip hop indeed movie? Yeah,

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe. So I believe this is before streets is watching. Definitely.

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just crushed groove and things like that,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>but that wasn't independent, and then it wasn't by the

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>artist for like, you know, this thing was football early.

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So so how did you what? What was you sitting

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>around watching the scar face and said I'm gonna do

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>this ship too. So I watched. I watched a lot

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of movies that I felt like, even now that we

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>don't own nothing. So you know at the time, I

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 1>mean in Dependent Filmmaker the year, Spike Lee was like, man,

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Pete don't make no real movies. He makes street movies.

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.319
<v Speaker 1>But that's all we knew, that's where we come from. Yeah. So,

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>but the thing about it is nobody from the streets

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of it took it to say, let's show the world

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>how real it is in these streets instead of killing

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 1>each other up. It's coming together. You know what my

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was. You know, I want to show my community,

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the hood where I come from. And then one day

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to be able to be the person. If

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I do our own movies and financing, we're gonna get

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the bigger cut from it. And one I want to

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>be able to you know, be somebody and somebody to say,

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>oh man, that dude brought the projects has something to

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>do with helping the projects. If you know, when it

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>came out, every street in New York's city was tuned

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the fun I'm sure Charlie came from the Army with

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that video tape and you go watch this listen. It

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>was this. This is the art Kelly take was the

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>most ship bootleg in the hood. Like yo, I definitely

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a real copy toil later on in life.

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just being honest. I had a bootleg. But that's

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>how hill it was. People stealing my bootleg was It

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 1>was the first time I've seen, well, we see other outcasts,

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>other outcasts, do you know what I'm saying? Like like

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>like like we did the South, like yeah, but people

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't really like like accept we didn't even know what

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>was going on in the South New York wasn't really

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>never except outcast right. Yeah. At me at the time,

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the ghetto boys was big, but they wasn't connecting in

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the East Coast, you know, they wasn't They wasn't connecting.

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Like I looked up to them guys to where they

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>made great music, but it wasn't club music. So it

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was like more of the vibe, you know, mind playing

0:15:55.240 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>tricks on me. You know what I'm saying. Space damn man,

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you know a lot of people, That's what I tell

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>people all the time. Man, we don't appreciate the ones

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that paid the weight, and we don't get because, like

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you say, they say, oh they're done, but then we

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know the real stuff people doing for the community.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Like for me, it's a blessing to be able to

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 1>come out those projects, man, and to be able to

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 1>be a part of rebuilding the projects because people don't

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>know this. Man. In two thousand nine, they was trying

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of the Callio projects after Hurricane Katrina.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Me and a guy I'm talking about, an expert, a

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>black guy to understand development of buildings. That's what we

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta grow with this a guy named Key Keys. He

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.320

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 1>this guy help me. We raised a hundred and eighteen

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>million to rebuild the Callio projects. So to actually come

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>from hip hop to be able to do that. You know,

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I don't know if you know. I

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you know. I went to the Callio

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>one time to look for you for some reason I had.

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought that you guys would just be hanging out, like, yeah,

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>it was so hot at the top. I went there

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and people I knew I was gonna get killed. He

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>just looked at me and he didn't say nothing. I said,

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 1>let me get the funk about it. But yeah, yo,

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>so that's crazy. You We rebuild it and now it's

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like luxury homes, y'all see it right now.

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>He's done. So it took us a while, and so

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.680
<v Speaker 1>we had to do this, true Hub. I know a

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of people say, so you're keeping the whole like

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the residents in place. Yeah, it's done. It's we did it,

0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>true Hub. But uh, it was stages to raise the

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 1>money to be able to do this. So this developer

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 1>who I'm talking like from Pittsburgh this is a bad dude,

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you know men men and his friends to be able

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to come from the projects and grow because he did

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it in Pittsburg with his projects and he was like, Pete,

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>we could do the same thing. In the callio, I said, man,

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>we need to do this because they was trying to

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.679
<v Speaker 1>get rid of it. Like I tell people all the time, man,

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>stop thinking about the small stuff. We gotta think about

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the big stuff that we do that we can do

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.399
<v Speaker 1>if we make it and be successful. Like, nobody never

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>gave me nothing. Man Like even the drug dealers when

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 1>they was there, they all, look, man, you know how

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to bag up, then I'll get you this. How you

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 1>make your braid or whatever. People are not gonna give

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.159
<v Speaker 1>you nothing. For us to be able to do this

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 1>at that level and to rebuild this, it's it's incredible,

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>man Like. To be honest with you, I don't I

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it ever been done with anybody in

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 1>any hood to understand that part of the game, I'd

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 1>be crazy, like, nah, let's go by Queen's bread man.

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Yes what you know what? But we all need to

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>come back together because now we know how to do it.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 1>It's been then the psychologist you really brought back the hood.

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>That's hard to get that. I'm sorry, that's hard. That

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>is hard. That is really, man, Let me tell you something.

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It felt so good to go back there and cut

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the ribbon to make this thing look so But you

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 1>know what, to be honest with your man is we

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 1>are uneducated, even though we come from the reets. Me

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 1>going to college was probably the best thing happened to

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>me to what I know a lot of stuff that

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't knew if I just made money, because anybody

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>could get money, You lose money, get it, come back

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>if your hustle. That's how I go. My thing is

0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the man of above for giving me a

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars worth of knowledge I'm doing. Let me let

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>me just say something. I just felt Richard as he

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 1>said that. As he said that, I felt it. But

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 1>let me let me teache sup like a little bit, right, people,

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 1>let's get into some of your Yeah, this is amazing,

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing. Roum. They said that two days before Nipsey

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.399
<v Speaker 1>had passed away, he was in the studio with you

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 1>recording the record for I Got the Let me so

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>let me, let me let me tell you how this

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.680
<v Speaker 1>has happened. Nipsy is such a real dude. Me and

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 1>him probably recorded over seventeen songs together. Like I went

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to his hood because he was a stand up guy.

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>They don't make them like that. I called a lot

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 1>of artists I'm working on. I got the hook up

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to you know how people. Man, I'm gonna do it.

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get it. Nipsy straight, big dog, what you need, Bam, here,

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. I met Nipsy Drew Drew Low, a

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 1>dude from Chicago years ago. Low with fifteen hundred ras

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>man did some stand up dudes. Ever since we built

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that relationship, Nipsey always asked me, man, how you do this?

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.119
<v Speaker 1>How you do that? And I always man, look, go

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 1>do it. Let me show you. You can hear the

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>respect that he has for you to his music continue.

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. Yeah, no, man, it was. It was

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a terrible loss for us. So were the studio two

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.760
<v Speaker 1>days before. No, No, we wasn't. We wasn't in the

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>studio two days. He sent the records soon as I said, look, man,

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I need a record. Okay, bam. But we've been in

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the studio a lot together. We made We made a

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of records. But that was like, you know, you

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>hear some of these guys that act like but something

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 1>about Nipsey. What I don't like about this situation the

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.359
<v Speaker 1>hood us killing each other. We're gonna kill the people

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna put the bread in the hood and take

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>away the man. Guys? Who else you want? Are You're

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna kill a plug for what? Because this man feeding families?

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Yeah, we gotta stop that.

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.720
<v Speaker 1>How we gonna grow? So you gotta look at two

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the crazy that Nifsy. My biggest thing was with him

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>that I told him his record when he was alive.

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 1>So fifty two thousand copies now you have he passes

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sold millions. Why is that the same music now? People

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 1>running around bumping the music and doing that. That ain't

0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 1>cool because this man had great music while he was

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.680
<v Speaker 1>a live You know, even bet I love Bete. I

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.920
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it, But you showcase this man funeral? Would you

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:49.400
<v Speaker 1>showcase this man birthday? But let's be honest. This man

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to get records on bet On the

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>video chat said that about Prodigy as well, So continued Prodigy.

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, Bushwick, I'm just saying, yeah, we need all

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:02.160
<v Speaker 1>these outlets, but at least recognized we could do more.

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 1>If you did that, that man wouldn't even been in

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the sbody here. But let me tell you something, Master Pete,

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that is the reason why we started this, yase. You

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>know why we We didn't realize this is gonna be

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:14.439
<v Speaker 1>a big platform. We didn't realize we was gonna make

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a television. We just said, you know what, me and

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>him were stopping hip hop people and we're like, you

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>know what, I'm mad that you know Dad's dealings. You

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 1>got twelve years in the game and people say, well something,

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know he's not the guy no more,

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's still making the same thing. And the crazy

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>thing is, from the day one we started this, all

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 1>our fans kept said, Master, the same thing on this Instagram.

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 1>So this is I'm sorry, yeah, but but I'm gonna

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 1>tell y'all that's the impart what we gotta do. We

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta celebrate positive things because you think about it, after

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you get so far, you're gonna go out and do

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 1>negative stuff because nobody see the negative. They see the negative,

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>don't see the positive. And that's what I tell my son.

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I say Romeo. But the best thing that you could

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 1>do is being straight and doing what you gotta do.

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna it's gonna come back. Don't worry about this

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.159
<v Speaker 1>other stuff. You're gonna be big as anything in the

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>world because you're doing right. You know, even though the

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:09.359
<v Speaker 1>system don't want to show like because if you were

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>in the hood and you knew, I ain't got to

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 1>be a drug dealer. I just gonna make money the

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:15.160
<v Speaker 1>right way. You're gonna go do it the right way.

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:17.920
<v Speaker 1>What if that's you wonna last longer. He wonnna live

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>longer because you do it the wrong where you end

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>up dead in the penitential. You know, some of us

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>got lucky and escaped a lot of this, But everybody know,

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I got my brother dad. I got a brother dad

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and a brother in Penitencial, so it's real rest in peace. Yeah,

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:32.760

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and it just hit me because, yeah, I was filming.

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I was filming some in Cali. Yeah, I was in

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.399
<v Speaker 1>case people don't know, my basketball team is in that

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 1>same neighborhoods. I've been having a basketball team for nineteen

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>years in that community. Yeah I do. I had uh

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Jenner's the margin roles and when it was in

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the seventh grade. They come through my program. So that

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>same hood right now, I got the same team. A

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, my kids played for that team. Now

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a son that's in the tenth grade. That's

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that's nice and basketball. But he I make sure he played,

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, on that team, on that College Soldiers team,

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>so he's there. That team we practice at Washington High

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.159
<v Speaker 1>School is probably one of the most dangerous places, but

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:21.639
<v Speaker 1>I always go there because I want them kids to

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:24.199
<v Speaker 1>see if I could make it out, y'all can make

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it out. And then in the in the in the

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.040

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like it was a shooting on the other side.

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, I knew what happened, and I just left

0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:00.679
<v Speaker 1>because every single game, I'm sweet, kid, you not, they

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>all saluted me. There's no problem. But that's what I'm saying.

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.399
<v Speaker 1>He brought peace. He let me tell you something. Did

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you see a lot of him and you because in

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ways you did the same thing. And

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 1>um but the one thing, the one thing I wish

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I could have told him is how you got to

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 1>get away from a neighborhood that you live in, that

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that you know. For me, i'd rather know my enemies

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 1>because I played defense. I'm gonna play defense. That's just

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the way I go. You know what I'm saying. But

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you know when you get comfortable, because at one time

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>I got comfortable in my hood to where you know,

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I know this is the safe zone for me, no

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 1>matter whether I don't care where is that. I know

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 1>once I get to the hood, I'm straight. And you

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta stop thinking like that once you get money, because

0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>just this the evilness I have the money being in

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the hood, you let your going down. But guess what,

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody else don't have money, so you cheese for the rats.

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 1>That's what people don't realize. I don't care how much

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>they know you. Or one time my man, the hood man,

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 1>one of the home and said, man, why do you

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 1>keep coming around here? I said, what man? I put

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:08.880
<v Speaker 1>this on the man? But you know, oh cool, I've

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 1>got it now. I ain't caring one. I'm caring to

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Now you know what I'm saying this, master Man, That's

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.160
<v Speaker 1>how I live because the jealousy is real. I ain't

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 1>never asked nobody to do nothing for me. If if

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I ain't got to do it, then they don't need

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to be done. To be honest with you, you know,

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 1>and I just think that the only as you get

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>money you come from the hood is not like how

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>white people that have money could live. You have to

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 1>know how to survive with money as a black man

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>from hrep. Look look at changing drugs. You show you

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 1>familiar with that. You know, it's like sometimes jam Master j.

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like a lot of the times the rappers get

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 1>killed in their own and by people well because that's

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>where they're most comfortable. Ship ball players. Look at your

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>he broke it down. He said, man, he looked at

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>us and for some reason, like both of his eyes

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>looked at both of us the same time. He said.

0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people was fronting. Yeah. But when pa

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and he said yo, and people were scared of death

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of shore. He said, no one would touch him at

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the peak, he said, like you know, like when he

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.960

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:24.320

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>chicken pops, but they said master p came't dough like

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Superman black Superman. In my pinion, you had a black cake.

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, did you have a purple one like Prince?

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>But I know you had a kid. You know, I'm

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a man of gold, and I realized you don't need

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to feel no man but God. So whenever we did

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that deal, people don't know I went to visit was

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>in prison at the time. I went to visit him

0:31:52.120 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>in prison and wo woa, whoa whoa stop right there

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>we did it. I don't think I've ever heard that

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Partoo said that, Oh, let's keep it going. Yeah, So

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't sit down with him, and I don't say that. Okay, alright,

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 1>continue dream chance. So he he had some deals for

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Snoop on the table. You know me, I'm a country boy.

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, look, dude, my money spent. How much

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you got how much they're gonna get you? He said,

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 1>told me the number. I said, well, I'm gonna give

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you three hundred thousand more than whatever the deal you

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>got on the table. And that's what we did in

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the prison. So you signed Sug like he signed Pop.

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You mean Snoop? Well it was it wasn't. It wasn't

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>like that. It was like Sug was in prison and

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>uh And I was like, what I say, just Sug

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 1>shugg the pot. I don't. I don't know about that

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:56.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much because you say Sug gave you the number. Yeah, Heed,

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.600
<v Speaker 1>he owned the company at the time, being it was

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>up a label doing that. It wasn't Park dictating the number.

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was parted that to get out of

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that deal. He needed that to get money to get out.

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 1>So but at this time, yeah, so we did the deal,

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think we probably had one situation, yeah, maybe too.

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And after that we handled it and then we had

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:30.760

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>his tour. Yeah, that's that's when that first record that

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.879
<v Speaker 1>was hot that he puts. So I ran up. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I ran him through the South to everywhere like like, yeah,

0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:07.480

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>it was your first tour with pocket. Yeah. So so

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.239
<v Speaker 1>people don't realize the story with pox. So I I

0:35:13.440 --> 0:35:15.759
<v Speaker 1>had the store. They'll come in my store and see me.

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:19.000

<v Speaker 1>me first is to come hang out. I'll go on

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:23.680

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:26.319
<v Speaker 1>you don't back then you don't get the money until

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.719
<v Speaker 1>you do the show or finished the show whatever. So

0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 1>we always go shopping. They know I had brids, I'll

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.520

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, so they were like, man, you gotta get

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Peter come out on the road, you know. So so

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that's how I really started. And it was like I

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:48.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't really know I could wrap, but I know I've

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>been through so much and I really lived this. I'm

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:52.319
<v Speaker 1>on the streets and this is what I do. Something

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>like I'm like, man, I really live this. So the

0:35:55.560 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff I was saying, you know you it's solid, It's

0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 1>for real, something like I'll be out there on the

0:36:01.160 --> 0:36:03.280
<v Speaker 1>bus saying some of the stuff even in my Stokes.

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 1>So people coming to Stow and be like what they helped?

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>That's on. I was like, I was just saying that,

0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, and so that's how I

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>really know that I could. I could do it. And

0:36:14.600 --> 0:36:16.839
<v Speaker 1>so I started making little stuff and putting it out.

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 1>But then you know, I went from opening up for

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 1>pop because they know they after while it was like

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:24.279
<v Speaker 1>you got a zone. Now you can open up the

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 1>ice cream man. Yeah. Right right before I was doing

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the ice cream Man, the body by nobody. People's thoughts

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:33.160
<v Speaker 1>like you got man, I'm in the West Coast with that.

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I got gold tee dress, the whole baby. That's so

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 1>so I remember being out there man, and I'm on

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the road. So they bring me out and forward is

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the lights the way the lights on. So the white

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 1>guy always introduced me because I told Hi, I'm from

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans. He said, Mr Peter Country Single, I said,

0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Doug Hold up the first little but it didn't go

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:08.279
<v Speaker 1>down like I pulled him to the side as it look, bro,

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm really from the streets, know what I'm saying. So

0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:15.759
<v Speaker 1>he ended up he fixed it. But man, I had

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:18.719
<v Speaker 1>I had one fan. I had one dude in the

0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:22.200
<v Speaker 1>audience just singing my music and then where everybody was.

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Man when went pocket, I was like, man, I'm gonna

0:37:27.600 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 1>turn that one fan in the millions. And that's what

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I ended up doing. Man, I went out through the

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:35.399
<v Speaker 1>audience like twenty thousand people and shook this man hand

0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and give him my T shirts or people don't know.

0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 1>My whole marketing scheme was I had made you if

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:43.279
<v Speaker 1>you appreciate me, that's it. So I ended up I

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>got every sea that here. I put out the no

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:48.720
<v Speaker 1>limit T shirts. I don't care if your home is whatever.

0:37:49.040 --> 0:37:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Every drug dealer hustle, I see what a fixed up card?

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:54.480

0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>my street team. That was my marketing. And so you

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta realize you gotta start small. Man. I started small,

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.919
<v Speaker 1>and I was I appreciate them for letting me open

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:03.440
<v Speaker 1>up for him. How many shows do you think you

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 1>did with them? I did a lot like I ain't

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of me. They wanted me to come. I don't

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:09.640
<v Speaker 1>care if I was doing shows and not. I was

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 1>just on the bus. It was that guy crazy. Um,

0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 1>So was there any flag I don't know. I know

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we spoke on that earlier, like after you signed Snoop,

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:22.040
<v Speaker 1>like after you signed like like when you came to Cali.

0:38:31.320 --> 0:38:34.800

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:37.880

<v Speaker 1>You said you had that phone call? Um, was there

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 1>any worries on your behalf? Because man, I grew up

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:23.040
<v Speaker 1>in the call of your project. Ain't nobody's gonna self

0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:26.160

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like I'm gonna work with you.

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 1>You're another black man, to be honest with you. So

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>when you go back and look at hot boys, I

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:36.920
<v Speaker 1>got a little cousin this big We don't care about

0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 1>size and none of that. Like alright, Peter him Man,

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:43.479
<v Speaker 1>that name was for real. You know what I'm saying.

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think i'd probably save half of the people

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 1>in the hip hop that you know that. I'm like, no, man,

0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>let these dudes make it. And that's that's the thing

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that I don't understand about hip hop right now. Like

0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:00.960
<v Speaker 1>if it's beef, it's beet for real, you know, like,

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:05.239
<v Speaker 1>and if it's not, it's not like you know what

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, I understand, you know, somebody might be offended.

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm moving into I'm moving into Hollywood. Man, I'm not

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.960
<v Speaker 1>moving into your hood, So you shouldn't have no problem

0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:19.320
<v Speaker 1>with me. Those white people got business on every corner.

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Why we can't have it? We killing each other for nothing?

0:40:23.160 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Anything I got. I'm one. That's the shows that many

0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, And you got a fancy

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>word to go with them. That's the books. But that's

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:42.399
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. We don't own nothing, So I didn't

0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:45.719
<v Speaker 1>take that note to offense. When she did that, I

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.399
<v Speaker 1>just like, maybe maybe he don't really know me though.

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I figure, like, if you take your time and we

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.320
<v Speaker 1>can sit out and have a conversation, you know, you

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>know who I am, Like, I don't. I don't. I

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 1>don't disrespect people. I say, if you want to get respect,

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta give it. You know. It just made me feel

0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a little different about them, Like, man, you know, if

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you won't do that, you do that in person, and

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>then you you have a connect with him and actually

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:13.680
<v Speaker 1>came home like face to face on them. I don't.

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I ever seen him after that. You

0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:20.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Some of my people there, okay,

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:26.239
<v Speaker 1>but you know I told him we're good. It ended

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:28.520
<v Speaker 1>there because I already knew that. That's how I go.

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:30.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Maybe somebody don't know me.

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm a man of gold, but I'm gonna I'm gonna

0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:36.200
<v Speaker 1>hold my own, you know what I'm saying. So I

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>know the devil is real. That's what people got to realize.

0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, even you believe if God is real, you

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:46.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta know the devil is really. So I'm like, it

0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:48.800
<v Speaker 1>just made me feel a different kind of way that

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have did that. I would have opened up man.

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:55.080

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 1>That's why I never said not to him. I wanted

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to tell that to him personally. When I see him,

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, it reminds me of like because like I said,

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:24.279
<v Speaker 1>we had a birdman sitting the same ship, and um

0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>it was the Calios, the Magnolia or something like that.

0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, people say that, but you gotta marriage. I'm

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be honest with y'all. My dad lived in the Callio.

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 1>That's why I lived in the Callio with my dad.

0:42:37.320 --> 0:42:40.520
<v Speaker 1>My mom and my dad split. I went to Calio,

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 1>my brother, my sister they went to the Magnolia. My

0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 1>mom lived in the Magnolia, so I went to both.

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I went to both projects. As my MoMA got a

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:52.719
<v Speaker 1>little job, she she moved in the house on Penterson Street,

0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:55.520
<v Speaker 1>right up the street from the Magnolih So I got

0:42:55.760 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 1>family to Magnolia and found in the callio. So I mean,

0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I really it really wasn't no beefing with us. You know.

0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just that because it reminds me of what you

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:10.879
<v Speaker 1>said hot boys earlier, and you guys had the hot boys. Well,

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:13.880

0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I almost lost my life with him. So you know, yeah,

0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I I almost almost lost my life with him as

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a kid, and so um he ended up going to

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:43.680

<v Speaker 1>you run that way, they're gonna shoot you in the

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:54.800

<v Speaker 1>steps with dark so I'm tell of somebody dropping my gun,

0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:04.920
<v Speaker 1>dropping my gun. I started grabbing the dough rattle on

0:45:05.040 --> 0:45:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the door and I laid down. They shoot up the door.

0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 1>I come downstairs. They hit hot board eight times. He's

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 1>still living. I hit a call drive all I run

0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:19.800
<v Speaker 1>down stair jumping a car take him to the hospital.

0:45:21.440 --> 0:45:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And I knew like God had something else with me.

0:45:23.760 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 1>But I thought, I thought that was it. I had

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to do what I had to do, right. I never

0:45:29.160 --> 0:45:31.319
<v Speaker 1>seen him. They went to school with me, never seen him.

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Hot Boy told me, Man, go on to college. You're

0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:37.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna be something. You could be a star. First day

<v Speaker 1>I got to college, he called all eightough and he

0:45:39.840 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 1>went to prison. So after that, I knew that God

0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>had a way for me, that I need to change

0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:51.000
<v Speaker 1>my life. And and and and that's when I said,

0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do something legit, you know. And I believe

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.479
<v Speaker 1>in that man up above. Man, he he had changed

0:45:57.520 --> 0:46:00.160

0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of us don't want to change our mindset. We don't

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:04.279
<v Speaker 1>want to grow, We don't want to get up out

0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:07.600

0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:10.080

<v Speaker 1>wave the white flat. I said, I don't know nothing

0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:11.839
<v Speaker 1>about that. I don't know the man like you could

0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you make you make records? You gotta know what you're

0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:16.719

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:19.000
<v Speaker 1>can we do, buddy? I said, just walk on the

0:49:19.080 --> 0:49:20.759
<v Speaker 1>other side of the street. You see me. I'm not

0:49:20.920 --> 0:49:23.640

0:49:37.840 --> 0:49:42.200
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing. And see when he when to a concert,

0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:47.319
<v Speaker 1>he head already and it it went bad. I think

0:49:47.360 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>c probably got the wrong dude to do. He thought,

0:49:50.800 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 1>was him, you know what I'm saying so, but he

0:49:54.840 --> 0:49:58.800
<v Speaker 1>was on goat and I said, see it could have

0:49:58.840 --> 0:50:01.799
<v Speaker 1>got real and all other dudes around from hot board

0:50:01.880 --> 0:50:03.920
<v Speaker 1>or whoever. I say, it was like, what's up with

0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:07.360
<v Speaker 1>this dude? I say, man, they do the rapper didn't

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:10.320

0:50:10.480 --> 0:50:14.960
<v Speaker 1>never he was doing. He was, y'all, was the hottest

0:50:15.000 --> 0:50:17.160
<v Speaker 1>thing out and he was just because if you actually

0:50:17.280 --> 0:50:18.880
<v Speaker 1>listen to now that I'm thinking about it, you actually

0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:21.560
<v Speaker 1>listening to he was like going on to take, but

0:50:21.640 --> 0:50:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that was it he was going to actually take. He didn't.

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.000
<v Speaker 1>He was specific with this this is but I been

0:50:26.040 --> 0:50:27.680
<v Speaker 1>thinking about it. But I think he thought I was

0:50:27.719 --> 0:50:29.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna wrap back with That's what he wanted. That's what

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:32.759
<v Speaker 1>he wanted. In my belief, Yeah, I don't. I don't

0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:35.600
<v Speaker 1>do that. I've never done that. In the height of

0:50:36.680 --> 0:50:41.400
<v Speaker 1>everyone thinking maybe because um Bergman also denied this, but

0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:44.600
<v Speaker 1>but maybe everyone maybe it's it really was us. But

0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in the height of you guys, both at the height

0:50:47.040 --> 0:50:51.759
<v Speaker 1>of no limit cash money, we we looked like this

0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:55.759
<v Speaker 1>is this is Tupac Big all over again, but it's

0:50:55.800 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 1>even more personal because this is from the same city.

0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:02.480
<v Speaker 1>It's from the same time and some of the artists

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:06.879
<v Speaker 1>from opposite projects. It was almost like Wu tang the teams. Yeah,

0:51:06.960 --> 0:51:09.839
<v Speaker 1>you know in the video show y'all. Let me tell

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:13.640
<v Speaker 1>y'all something. We're a couple of blocks up from each other.

0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you think if it was beef it WK? I

0:51:19.800 --> 0:51:22.839
<v Speaker 1>like them, dude. I was happy for them, even though

0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:24.759
<v Speaker 1>we just don't get out on together. We don't get

0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 1>out like I don't fake it with people. If I

0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:28.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know you, I ain't hang out, which I don't

0:51:28.680 --> 0:51:31.480
<v Speaker 1>do that, you know, so I don't. I don't do that.

0:51:31.640 --> 0:51:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Like do you see. I showed them dudes love everywhere.

0:51:35.400 --> 0:51:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I got out shout out to cash money man for

0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:40.279
<v Speaker 1>doing what they gotta do. I respect that they come

0:51:40.320 --> 0:51:41.719
<v Speaker 1>from my hood. I want to see them when I

0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:43.680
<v Speaker 1>want to see them eat. That's what we're saying. Why

0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:45.920
<v Speaker 1>we can't be on every block like the Gucci and

0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:53.759
<v Speaker 1>facade and all that ship man real ship, you know,

0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:58.239
<v Speaker 1>but the system owners show that like anyway, if you

0:51:58.280 --> 0:52:01.320
<v Speaker 1>don't own your record company, were killing each other for

0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:04.040
<v Speaker 1>what I ain't never seen nobody beef with Jimmy Iven

0:52:04.200 --> 0:52:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and the other dudes. Re Let's be honest, Why you

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:10.800
<v Speaker 1>another beef with them. So I tell these jumps, is

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:14.040
<v Speaker 1>anyway the money that they think in the music business now,

0:52:14.960 --> 0:52:17.399
<v Speaker 1>we're still living off the money we had twenty years ago.

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to do shows. When I go do shows,

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:22.279
<v Speaker 1>it be for what I want. Pay it to me

0:52:23.560 --> 0:52:25.440
<v Speaker 1>right now. So I tell people when you're in the

0:52:25.560 --> 0:52:29.160
<v Speaker 1>music business, so y'all dealing with downloads and streams now right,

0:52:30.040 --> 0:52:32.560
<v Speaker 1>So how you make your money? So if you get

0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:38.200
<v Speaker 1>a million downloads, a million streams at a penny, how

0:52:38.280 --> 0:52:42.800
<v Speaker 1>much you have and ship? Think about it? You know

0:52:42.880 --> 0:52:45.560
<v Speaker 1>how much you have? I have no idea. I ain't

0:52:45.600 --> 0:52:51.960
<v Speaker 1>making money. Those strange ain't got ten thousand dollars. So

0:52:52.160 --> 0:52:54.440
<v Speaker 1>think about we sold a million records. You know how

0:52:54.560 --> 0:52:56.840
<v Speaker 1>much I got. I'm gonna gett nineteen dollars a record

0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:03.000
<v Speaker 1>beyond stream Let's let's be honest. I'm saying, why are

0:53:03.040 --> 0:53:04.680
<v Speaker 1>we killing each other up? And you got a three

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:07.560
<v Speaker 1>sixty deals, so that's ten thousand knowledge. You gotta split

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:11.120
<v Speaker 1>with the man who owned the company. Let's behind why

0:53:11.160 --> 0:53:14.440
<v Speaker 1>were killing each other and you in most of the

0:53:14.520 --> 0:53:17.760
<v Speaker 1>hood rappers right now, it's not gonna get a million streamed.

0:53:19.040 --> 0:53:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest. How many, no names gonna reach a million,

0:53:24.120 --> 0:53:26.239
<v Speaker 1>so they're telling me. So that's the reason why they

0:53:26.320 --> 0:53:29.239
<v Speaker 1>still live in the neighborhoods they live in. But we

0:53:29.320 --> 0:53:32.399
<v Speaker 1>could fix that. We gotta start by owning stuff. If

0:53:32.440 --> 0:53:35.839
<v Speaker 1>we own it, the money coming to us. We don't

0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:37.000
<v Speaker 1>need to do all that. You don't have to go

0:53:37.080 --> 0:53:38.719
<v Speaker 1>out and sell CDs at the trunk of your car.

0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That got did. It's all social media. But social media

0:53:41.239 --> 0:53:43.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta is a gift and the curasion because you've got

0:53:43.120 --> 0:53:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the hater's gonna shoot it down before you even get there.

0:53:46.719 --> 0:53:49.279
<v Speaker 1>You're working progress, but you're gonna let the hatter stop you,

0:53:50.239 --> 0:53:51.759
<v Speaker 1>you know. And that's what I'm saying. Man, we got

0:53:51.840 --> 0:53:54.279
<v Speaker 1>to know our business. We don't have to go sell

0:53:54.320 --> 0:53:56.680
<v Speaker 1>our soul right now, you know. And that's the thing

0:53:56.760 --> 0:54:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to do with Kodak and everybody next,

0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:04.440
<v Speaker 1>like I'm helping you and this thing is a genie,

0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:09.200
<v Speaker 1>like every next question of his brother. But then about

0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:15.440
<v Speaker 1>if he were to listen to what I said, you

0:54:15.520 --> 0:54:17.439
<v Speaker 1>know what, that's what I just I want to say.

0:54:18.080 --> 0:54:21.160
<v Speaker 1>So this was the media takes stuff and because Kode,

0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:23.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, he a young dude and he might say something,

0:54:23.600 --> 0:54:25.279
<v Speaker 1>but he might not say it what but I love

0:54:25.360 --> 0:54:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and respect I want you to make it though I

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:30.319
<v Speaker 1>don't want you to make I made. So My thing

0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:32.839
<v Speaker 1>was to him was like, look if I go get

0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:35.960
<v Speaker 1>this deal for you, oh boy, giving you a hundred

0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:38.320
<v Speaker 1>grand right now, I know the man who owned the company.

0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get your meal, and you're gonna give me

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the same percentage you're giving that. Dude, I just want that.

0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Just give me the same percentage that So, so I'm

0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a black man, you're giving this white man to break.

0:54:48.760 --> 0:54:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying I don't want your money, but I'm

0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:53.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna help you and show you what you need to

0:54:53.840 --> 0:54:57.399
<v Speaker 1>do to get more money. And down the line, don't

0:54:57.400 --> 0:55:00.120
<v Speaker 1>give me nothing. I fly you around, do whatever. But

0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:02.400
<v Speaker 1>when it's time that we can make some money, let

0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:07.200
<v Speaker 1>me make a little bread. That's it. But I think

0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:09.520
<v Speaker 1>when people getting caught up at because they don't look

0:55:09.520 --> 0:55:12.600
<v Speaker 1>at the big picture and even about giving back, people

0:55:12.680 --> 0:55:15.920
<v Speaker 1>try to come in and divide and conquer. Because I

0:55:16.000 --> 0:55:17.800
<v Speaker 1>told him at the time, I say, what the backpacks?

0:55:18.360 --> 0:55:19.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't call that games. I said, there's been some

0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:21.680
<v Speaker 1>backpacks doing in the community. You need to get out

0:55:21.719 --> 0:55:23.920
<v Speaker 1>this without I've been doing this for twenty years. But

0:55:25.239 --> 0:55:27.560
<v Speaker 1>us coming together and you as a youngster, you don't

0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:29.080
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about the man have to pay to

0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:30.920
<v Speaker 1>get you out of jail. You're making your own bread

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're giving back to the community. So let's change

0:55:33.760 --> 0:55:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that mindset. But you know, you don't see that because

0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:39.319
<v Speaker 1>soon as social media gets something, they say a little

0:55:39.360 --> 0:55:41.759
<v Speaker 1>part of it and take it out and mix it

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:45.480
<v Speaker 1>up and ended it. So you never know what really happened.

0:55:45.840 --> 0:55:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I never asked the man for a dime. Why I

0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:52.719
<v Speaker 1>gave I spent forty five grant in that community where

0:55:52.719 --> 0:55:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know because I gave the kids my

0:55:54.120 --> 0:55:57.319
<v Speaker 1>word that I'm gonna be there and I'm healthy, right yeah,

0:55:57.760 --> 0:56:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and so, but I think what happened was the lawyer

0:56:01.719 --> 0:56:03.879
<v Speaker 1>guy he had, you know when Kode talk. He said,

0:56:03.920 --> 0:56:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you have big dog, I want those. It was some

0:56:06.360 --> 0:56:10.239
<v Speaker 1>some kind of backpacks. It's like JA, but the dude

0:56:10.320 --> 0:56:13.640
<v Speaker 1>got backpacks for six dollars. But it's not jam sports,

0:56:13.760 --> 0:56:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. But that's what you get

0:56:15.640 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 1>there for six dollars. You can't get jam sports to

0:56:18.480 --> 0:56:21.560
<v Speaker 1>six dollars. Now if you go to the Chinese probably

0:56:21.560 --> 0:56:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the lawyers you're gonna get it twenty five. That's what

0:56:23.440 --> 0:56:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to tell him. I said, you know what,

0:56:25.000 --> 0:56:26.839
<v Speaker 1>since we promised the kids that I'm gonna just pay

0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:29.120
<v Speaker 1>for I've paid the money. But I wish him well

0:56:29.680 --> 0:56:31.719
<v Speaker 1>and he a good dude. But at the same time,

0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:34.319
<v Speaker 1>this is the system. Do they play on us while

0:56:34.360 --> 0:56:36.880
<v Speaker 1>we get in trouble so they pay out bill, get

0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:38.920
<v Speaker 1>us out of jail. Make them think they really would us.

0:56:38.920 --> 0:56:41.560
<v Speaker 1>But you're really spending your own money. So don't be

0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:43.880
<v Speaker 1>afraid to allder them. So that's my thing to you

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to the youngster. Don't be afraid to order these people.

0:56:46.920 --> 0:56:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Let me go ordered them to see how really to dude,

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:52.120
<v Speaker 1>what what you need on me for? I'm saying, because

0:56:52.200 --> 0:56:55.239
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's that's this man business, you know. Let

0:56:55.320 --> 0:56:57.520
<v Speaker 1>me tell you something. I'm gonna be honest with you

0:56:59.760 --> 0:57:03.560
<v Speaker 1>with you're saying is the most genius thing after But

0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to be at least like in your thirties

0:57:08.520 --> 0:57:11.200
<v Speaker 1>to comfort hand. But that's why you break people around

0:57:11.360 --> 0:57:18.240
<v Speaker 1>us to help you do that. You see fives right now,

0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the lights can do be messing my o g If

0:57:20.680 --> 0:57:23.520
<v Speaker 1>he says, see your hands down down to this day,

0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:26.160
<v Speaker 1>right to this day because I know he gonna leave me, right.

0:57:26.320 --> 0:57:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So my question to you is, did Kodak have any

0:57:29.320 --> 0:57:31.560
<v Speaker 1>o gs around him that you could have talked to?

0:57:31.680 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Because you know that. The thing about it is like

0:57:34.480 --> 0:57:36.760
<v Speaker 1>like like I'll give you a great example, right. But

0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:38.760
<v Speaker 1>when I first started doing reggae thrown, I was telling

0:57:38.840 --> 0:57:42.360
<v Speaker 1>these people don't ever stop right there, stop making excuses.

0:57:42.720 --> 0:57:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I started my business at nineteen. Don't don't say they're

0:57:45.320 --> 0:57:48.760
<v Speaker 1>young or whatever. The chart is on you. You gotta

0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:51.000
<v Speaker 1>make those decisions. Do you want to be bigger or

0:57:51.080 --> 0:57:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you just want to be regular? You got somebody to

0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:55.120
<v Speaker 1>know how to make hundreds of millions of dollars the

0:57:55.200 --> 0:57:57.920
<v Speaker 1>music business. You got an expert. I can show you

0:57:58.000 --> 0:57:59.520
<v Speaker 1>how to get the money. You just gotta use me.

0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So if you hard it, see in prison right now

0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:05.400
<v Speaker 1>because he didn't listen. He didn't commit this crime. See

0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:07.920
<v Speaker 1>innocent we're fighting for We should have to be fighting

0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:11.160
<v Speaker 1>for him if he listened. So you wanta be a man.

0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:13.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like I'm telling my grandfather told me a hard

0:58:13.920 --> 0:58:20.080
<v Speaker 1>head make a sol fast. That's it, straight up right.

0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:23.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what I was making excuses. The thing is

0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to give because you know what it is

0:58:25.400 --> 0:58:28.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. Nor would you be alive right now. People

0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:31.280

0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>your head. Yeah, and let us go bump out head.

0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:34.640
<v Speaker 1>But you ain't gotta bump your head if I already

0:58:34.680 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 1>did it for ten times. But the thing is, people,

0:58:37.000 --> 0:58:38.520
<v Speaker 1>when you came out of the nineties, it was a

0:58:38.640 --> 0:58:41.000
<v Speaker 1>lot harder for us to come out. It's a lot

0:58:41.080 --> 0:58:45.080
<v Speaker 1>easier for these kids to come out different. So you're saying.

0:58:45.120 --> 0:58:47.200
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying is they have a lot less guidance

0:58:47.520 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 1>with them. That's that's all I'm saying. I'm not you

0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:51.840
<v Speaker 1>think when the guy took him to jail, you think

0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>he worried about how young he is. Let's be honest,

0:58:54.440 --> 0:58:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you're going to prison with everybody else you're gonna have

0:58:56.960 --> 0:58:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to even with me or you. They don't care how older,

0:58:59.680 --> 0:59:02.640
<v Speaker 1>how you is. It's about doing what's right. If you

0:59:02.800 --> 0:59:05.600
<v Speaker 1>know you not a thinker, then go find you a thinker.

0:59:06.400 --> 0:59:08.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. If you know that you

0:59:08.400 --> 0:59:09.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do the work, then you're gonna find

0:59:10.000 --> 0:59:12.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody that's gonna do the work for you. But if

0:59:12.520 --> 0:59:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you find it, yes, man, you're gonna end up ded

0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:18.120
<v Speaker 1>on prison. To be honest, because certain things you don't

0:59:18.200 --> 0:59:20.160
<v Speaker 1>need to be doing. You guys said, if you're big,

0:59:20.320 --> 0:59:22.800
<v Speaker 1>this man got hit records. He huge, he shouldn't be

0:59:22.880 --> 0:59:27.400
<v Speaker 1>in prison, should be on the streets in prison, shouldn't

0:59:27.400 --> 0:59:29.880
<v Speaker 1>be on the streets. So at the same time, and

0:59:30.000 --> 0:59:33.360
<v Speaker 1>then if I come to you and say, man, I

0:59:33.480 --> 0:59:35.640
<v Speaker 1>need you to do this for me, but then I'm

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:38.360
<v Speaker 1>paying him money, but I won't pay it to you,

0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:43.560
<v Speaker 1>they don't make no sense. So take this out. If

0:59:43.600 --> 0:59:45.600
<v Speaker 1>a rapper comes to me, the hottest rapper right now,

0:59:45.840 --> 0:59:48.840
<v Speaker 1>what you think they're making four hundred thousand the album

0:59:48.920 --> 0:59:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to put out. So this is how the record company

0:59:51.160 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 1>get him. I'm gonna give you. No, I'm gonna give

0:59:54.600 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you two million to do five albums. That's four hundred thousands.

1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:02.760
<v Speaker 1>So but let me or you. Man. But if I

1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>say look recoupable, it's it's recoupable. But what if I

1:00:06.880 --> 1:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>say I'm gonna give you four hundred dollars when you

1:00:08.680 --> 1:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>do an album for me, man, I ain't about to do. Man,

1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>he got me for full hundred. You know all the

1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>money he got he made it. Not what they gotta

1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>do with that right, the same I'm just selling me

1:00:22.000 --> 1:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>up right now. They don't want to be up right now.

1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know why, you know why, I'm gonna

1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>tell you. I'm gonna tell you the reason why he's right.

1:00:34.640 --> 1:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you're just hearing it from a person that's not

1:00:37.360 --> 1:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>from the same environment as you. It seems like it's

1:00:41.360 --> 1:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>like sugar. And then you're here from somebody and then

1:00:44.640 --> 1:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you feel like they're in your business. That's the that's

1:00:46.800 --> 1:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the thing is why we gotta stay in your business.

1:00:49.800 --> 1:00:51.800

<v Speaker 1>come back. Y'all be happy with that. I can tune

1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>y'all out of the social me. I got my money already.

1:01:24.000 --> 1:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>You know what. That's the thing is. You didn't have

1:01:26.280 --> 1:01:28.320

1:01:28.400 --> 1:01:32.400

1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>makes you? Um? I forgot the other fat boy guy.

1:01:37.520 --> 1:01:43.560

1:01:49.080 --> 1:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that's going on, my brother, Holy Moly moly, Yo. So

1:01:54.160 --> 1:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I haven't lost my thorter question and I don't know

1:01:56.120 --> 1:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>what the fun was at but um, first off, pea,

1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but you're saying why I come back? No, because that's

1:02:02.960 --> 1:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the thing. He hesnit there and I'm passing it right

1:02:06.440 --> 1:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>back to you. That was a big thing about people

1:02:10.280 --> 1:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>when Nipsey got yeah murdered, was a lot of us

1:02:13.640 --> 1:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>were sitting back and saying, even when we come and

1:02:17.480 --> 1:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>get back to the hood, sometimes sometimes it's better to

1:02:21.880 --> 1:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>take the hood with you and get out of the hood.

1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that true or though? What it all depends? I mean,

1:02:27.960 --> 1:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>when you're in the hood, think about it. If you're

1:02:30.680 --> 1:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>drug dealing in the hood and we're taking shot hold on. Yeah,

1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're a drug dealing in the hood, you know

1:02:35.880 --> 1:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>how to survive. Hold up a second bar. When you

1:02:38.480 --> 1:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>stopped learning how to survive, then you shouldn't go back

1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to the hood like that. Like like if you were

1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>playing defense when you was in the hood, you might

1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>have play defense when you out of the hood. Goddamn,

1:02:49.600 --> 1:02:53.040

1:02:53.200 --> 1:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>ain't I'm I don't learn how to play defense for

<v Speaker 1>the time. We don't listen to the O G s.

1:16:41.560 --> 1:16:44.680

1:17:41.080 --> 1:17:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for

<v Speaker 1>my kids. I'm about to build a generational girls down

1:17:45.240 --> 1:17:51.760

<v Speaker 1>what he said. He said trying to generational well generations,

1:18:02.080 --> 1:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>which is I think one of the most key important

1:18:04.040 --> 1:18:06.120
<v Speaker 1>things that people don't understand is we gotta make our

1:18:06.240 --> 1:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>kids well. You've got to make the people around us wealthy. Now,

1:18:09.080 --> 1:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the ones that don't listen, dog, look, that's on them.

1:18:12.960 --> 1:18:14.680

1:18:14.800 --> 1:18:16.599
<v Speaker 1>some money, you blow it. I'm not gonna keep getting

1:18:16.600 --> 1:18:19.960

1:18:22.160 --> 1:18:25.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta help my people first. Already did what I could

1:18:25.120 --> 1:18:27.880
<v Speaker 1>do for y'all. I don't rebuilt the projects. Go look

1:18:27.920 --> 1:18:30.559
<v Speaker 1>it up. You could get back then in two thousand

1:18:30.560 --> 1:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and nine, they didn't have social media, so nobody know

1:18:33.400 --> 1:18:35.479
<v Speaker 1>about that. But if you google it, you take your time.

1:18:35.520 --> 1:18:37.280
<v Speaker 1>You said, man, I'm the reason y'all land in these

1:18:37.360 --> 1:18:39.640
<v Speaker 1>places because I went found the man and showed us

1:18:39.640 --> 1:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>how to do this, and it didn't be just me.

1:18:42.560 --> 1:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a team for me and by still like that

1:18:44.960 --> 1:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>because we keep it one hunting with each other. A

1:18:47.080 --> 1:18:49.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of these dudes do not keeping one hunting and

1:18:49.439 --> 1:18:51.720

<v Speaker 1>That's how it's gonna be. If I'm gonna make see

1:19:03.040 --> 1:19:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm gonna pop something. To be honest with you,

1:19:32.720 --> 1:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of ship, put up walls and murals. Think

1:19:38.520 --> 1:19:40.719
<v Speaker 1>about it. But that's what we gotta tell the generation,

1:19:40.840 --> 1:19:42.920
<v Speaker 1>even the ones in the hood. Man pull him, little

1:19:42.920 --> 1:19:45.760

1:20:58.479 --> 1:21:01.720

1:21:02.400 --> 1:21:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't cheat, though, I don't know if you know

1:21:04.040 --> 1:21:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that black men don't cheare not cheating, You're so what

1:21:16.840 --> 1:21:20.439
<v Speaker 1>people don't. The thing that people don't realize man, that

1:21:20.600 --> 1:21:23.439
<v Speaker 1>we all got twenty four hours. It is what you

1:21:23.600 --> 1:21:26.519
<v Speaker 1>do with yours. If you spend your twenty four hours right,

1:21:26.920 --> 1:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>you will make some bread. You will come out of it.

1:21:30.160 --> 1:21:33.040
<v Speaker 1>You will. I don't care how bad you're doing. Do

1:21:33.240 --> 1:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>something right. You're smoking and drinking twenty four hours. You

1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna have nothing think about. You don't have no job,

1:21:38.840 --> 1:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>no business. Just what the hood wants us to do.

1:21:41.120 --> 1:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>They want you, they see you on this show. They

1:21:42.920 --> 1:21:44.479
<v Speaker 1>want you to come back in your hood and just

1:21:44.640 --> 1:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you do this your job. You got the drink champs

1:21:48.280 --> 1:21:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you but you you can't go in New York and

1:21:50.840 --> 1:21:53.439
<v Speaker 1>just sit on the poach and you to make this.

1:21:53.720 --> 1:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>You got to work to celebrate. But this, that's what

1:21:57.360 --> 1:22:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But you celebrate that, you're celebrating the what

1:22:00.160 --> 1:22:03.599
<v Speaker 1>that comes through that. So my thing is they want

1:22:03.680 --> 1:22:06.160
<v Speaker 1>you to come back home and just hang out with him.

1:22:06.720 --> 1:22:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So how are you gonna do anything if you or

1:22:08.439 --> 1:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you ain't really if you ain't hanging out and see

1:22:10.040 --> 1:22:12.559
<v Speaker 1>murder the realist think where he imprisoned. That's my brother

1:22:14.640 --> 1:22:20.479
<v Speaker 1>thinking about when he would see murder was still he was.

1:22:21.840 --> 1:22:23.080
<v Speaker 1>He said, he comes to see me and I'm the

1:22:23.240 --> 1:22:26.640
<v Speaker 1>w hotel downtown. Yeah he goes. I'm thinking he gonnae

1:22:27.560 --> 1:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>itself sometimes see too real for itself. That's why he

1:22:32.240 --> 1:22:34.760
<v Speaker 1>wigs that. I pray for him every night. I love him.

1:22:35.080 --> 1:22:37.599
<v Speaker 1>But if he just yeah, man, if he just if

1:22:37.640 --> 1:22:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he just listened to a little things, he wouldn't be

1:22:40.880 --> 1:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>there because it ain't see. See, he got a good heart.

1:22:44.160 --> 1:22:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But it's the people you bring with something. You got

1:22:45.840 --> 1:22:47.599
<v Speaker 1>to cut the people off that you have that don't

1:22:47.680 --> 1:22:50.360
<v Speaker 1>think the way you think. You know what I'm saying

1:22:50.360 --> 1:22:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that they don't think the way you think. People always say,

1:22:52.880 --> 1:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you know you like the people you're around, and that's

1:22:55.800 --> 1:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that's what you gotta realize. I don't care how much

1:22:57.920 --> 1:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>money you have, that ain't gonna stop you from going

1:23:00.000 --> 1:23:03.200
<v Speaker 1>to prison. Because when when when they wanted somebody in

1:23:03.240 --> 1:23:06.360
<v Speaker 1>that club they want to see that was the biggest ticket.

1:23:07.080 --> 1:23:08.880
<v Speaker 1>They didn't care who did They let the dude go?

1:23:08.960 --> 1:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Who did it? Now, you gotta fight for your freedom,

1:23:12.080 --> 1:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I'm saying. But he hadn't been through

1:23:13.760 --> 1:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>this a bunch of times. And so so the thing

1:23:17.120 --> 1:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>about this man that we gotta look at what he's

1:23:20.080 --> 1:23:22.360
<v Speaker 1>going through, hopefully to save with much of these other kids,

1:23:22.360 --> 1:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>because that's what he want to come home and do,

1:23:24.479 --> 1:23:26.920
<v Speaker 1>show these kids that this ain't all with it how

1:23:27.000 --> 1:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>many pills they just don't want to the system in Louisiana,

1:23:32.760 --> 1:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>y'all know, it's a different kind of system. Man. So

1:23:35.439 --> 1:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>even when they've got no facts or whatever, they make

1:23:37.920 --> 1:23:43.160
<v Speaker 1>facts you know they created. Man, think about it. This

1:23:43.240 --> 1:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>is the worst thing to be a black man in

1:23:44.880 --> 1:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>American be eighteen because it's for real for you every

1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:49.920
<v Speaker 1>time you walk out that dough I didn't walked out

1:23:49.960 --> 1:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that dough with the polies like put your heads onthing, like,

1:23:51.920 --> 1:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>come on, man, for real, you know. And then then

1:23:55.320 --> 1:23:57.120
<v Speaker 1>if they don't know who you is, you're in trouble.

1:23:58.479 --> 1:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So so you gotta know how to survive out here

1:24:01.320 --> 1:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>in the real world. That's why you gotta have your

1:24:02.840 --> 1:24:06.360
<v Speaker 1>stuff together. My grandmother told me that when she was alive.

1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get it till she died, you know. She said,

1:24:09.640 --> 1:24:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you better have your ship together. You walk out this,

1:24:11.479 --> 1:24:14.439
<v Speaker 1>don't and you better make sure the people around you

1:24:14.560 --> 1:24:16.479
<v Speaker 1>had the ship together because you might not be coming

1:24:16.560 --> 1:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>back home, you know. And we're afraid of the truth.

1:24:20.439 --> 1:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>So if you don't want the truth, don't talk to

1:24:22.960 --> 1:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>me because I ain't gonna tell you nothing but the true,

1:24:24.880 --> 1:24:26.880
<v Speaker 1>whether you like it or not. You know, I'm looking

1:24:26.920 --> 1:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>at your risk and it looks like you have with

1:24:28.840 --> 1:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>DJ Klar calls a CHANDL layer. Yeah, go on, holy yo,

1:24:38.120 --> 1:24:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you've been get a lot of money for a lot

1:24:39.479 --> 1:24:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of times. And you know what, we're proud of you.

1:24:41.880 --> 1:24:46.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what, let's make some noise for that. Throughout

1:24:47.000 --> 1:24:50.080
<v Speaker 1>your whole career, it's lolays been an attachment to making

1:24:50.160 --> 1:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>someone else great, and you know, That's something I would

1:24:53.840 --> 1:24:55.880
<v Speaker 1>love to take from you. Is I want to just

1:24:56.040 --> 1:24:59.360
<v Speaker 1>keep continuing to me, make someone else great, if it

1:24:59.439 --> 1:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>makes someone squak home, make someone else great, Chin being

1:25:02.840 --> 1:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>on el guad, Mike on Elqua, and so on and

1:25:05.479 --> 1:25:07.000
<v Speaker 1>so on and so on and so on and so

1:25:07.080 --> 1:25:09.519
<v Speaker 1>on or so on a song. But I've learned that

1:25:09.600 --> 1:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>lesson from you. So you think about how did you

1:25:12.120 --> 1:25:14.759
<v Speaker 1>drop three hundred albums in one year? Man? The manner

1:25:14.800 --> 1:25:18.519
<v Speaker 1>is with you. I make records. I never wrote a

1:25:18.560 --> 1:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>record to pull out me. They gotta pour out me.

1:25:21.400 --> 1:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>So the thing is, I tell people you gotta be

1:25:23.600 --> 1:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>able to celebrate other people's success if you want to

1:25:26.280 --> 1:25:35.439

<v Speaker 1>way they're gonna change. It's a disease, man, it's a sickness.

1:27:54.280 --> 1:27:59.760
<v Speaker 1>more money the boats, you know. So I'm like, that's

1:27:59.800 --> 1:28:02.040

1:28:24.000 --> 1:28:25.439
<v Speaker 1>coming to you, gonna be like, Okay, I'm gonna give

1:28:25.439 --> 1:28:28.120

1:28:49.760 --> 1:28:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Stop faking like everybody gonna give you something. They don't

1:28:52.280 --> 1:28:55.160
<v Speaker 1>have agenda. That's why I don't ask nobody for nothing.

1:28:55.200 --> 1:28:57.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm going out there and get it the same way

1:28:57.600 --> 1:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>them dudes did it. And sometimes if you if you're

1:29:00.360 --> 1:29:03.200
<v Speaker 1>taking a penitential chance because you have to go do it.

1:29:03.600 --> 1:29:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But you're taking a penitential chance and you don't have to.

1:29:06.360 --> 1:29:10.320

1:29:10.360 --> 1:29:12.400
<v Speaker 1>won't be on the block. That don't even the drug deals.

1:29:22.840 --> 1:29:25.599
<v Speaker 1>of jail and be with their families. They start realizing, man,

1:29:25.680 --> 1:29:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I should to hang with my family. That wouldn't be

1:29:27.760 --> 1:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>because you don't see that. You don't appreciate it till

1:29:30.280 --> 1:29:34.280
<v Speaker 1>it's gone. Think about it. People really don't appreciate what

1:29:34.400 --> 1:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>they have till till it's gone. You know, I don't

1:29:37.080 --> 1:29:40.400
<v Speaker 1>see more people posting up Bushwick Bill now, like man,

1:29:40.479 --> 1:29:43.360

1:29:43.400 --> 1:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>what this situation was. How many people really stepped up.

1:29:47.360 --> 1:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about the people that I'm sorry to cut

1:29:49.840 --> 1:29:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you off. You know what, we could step up right

1:29:52.040 --> 1:29:56.599

<v Speaker 1>be and when some moves always wanted for other people,

1:30:16.760 --> 1:30:20.360
<v Speaker 1>do it because I'm not trying to frost. I'll tell

1:30:20.360 --> 1:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>you the problem. You keep thinking everything you do it's

1:30:23.240 --> 1:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>for cloud because people say that, So what you should do? Nothing?

1:30:26.760 --> 1:30:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Everything is for cloud? Think about Okay, let's be honest.

1:30:32.680 --> 1:30:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Did the record company Atlanta stop putting Nipsey Hustle Records out?

1:30:36.280 --> 1:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>His album was out of our way after you get money? Still,

1:30:39.640 --> 1:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest. Why we ain't made at that? But

1:30:43.040 --> 1:30:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I hear wrap us up, man, I don't want to

1:30:44.640 --> 1:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>put the record out yet because people might think uncle,

1:30:47.320 --> 1:30:49.519
<v Speaker 1>for what if you did the song with him? That's

1:30:49.560 --> 1:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>what he wants. Put it out, left the world here

1:30:52.760 --> 1:30:55.840
<v Speaker 1>like the only way we're gonna make him live his

1:30:56.040 --> 1:30:59.439
<v Speaker 1>legacy live. We keep worrying about what people think because

1:30:59.520 --> 1:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>social medi didn't got us thinking crazy. Now you know

1:31:02.240 --> 1:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Social media should be business if you're

1:31:04.280 --> 1:31:06.639
<v Speaker 1>a boss and if you have the right thought in mind,

1:31:06.720 --> 1:31:09.639
<v Speaker 1>and never mind what the anybody else is thinking. Man, Look,

1:31:10.400 --> 1:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>we need to stop there letting them make all the

1:31:12.479 --> 1:31:14.680
<v Speaker 1>money off of us, and we're not doing nothing, and

1:31:14.760 --> 1:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>we don't even expose him that man, how do you

1:31:17.479 --> 1:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>think he sold millions of records so they should have

1:31:20.200 --> 1:31:24.080
<v Speaker 1>waited over album that came out last year and nobody

1:31:24.160 --> 1:31:28.599
<v Speaker 1>said nothing about it. BT got him up there, forty

1:32:15.160 --> 1:32:18.160
<v Speaker 1>why are we so ignorant? Because they only show negativity.

1:32:18.320 --> 1:32:20.439
<v Speaker 1>They don't show positive. They don't show this what we're

1:32:20.479 --> 1:32:22.519
<v Speaker 1>doing in here, we're getting together, we're killing each other,

1:32:22.920 --> 1:32:25.840
<v Speaker 1>we're talking, we're having a conversation, having fun thing about

1:32:26.080 --> 1:32:30.679
<v Speaker 1>salute insolutely celebrating each other. But we were doing negative stuff.

1:32:30.880 --> 1:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, we'll be front page TMZ. It would be

1:32:35.960 --> 1:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>shot at that master piece s something You had an

1:32:48.280 --> 1:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>artist sign skull Duggery Penalty Records. How did you realize

1:32:52.880 --> 1:32:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that you could take take any artists and put them

1:32:55.720 --> 1:32:59.960
<v Speaker 1>on any company? How how did you figure that out?

1:33:00.200 --> 1:33:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Because did you do that before resor that was after

1:33:03.479 --> 1:33:06.639
<v Speaker 1>you know what to be? Whoever did it? It's all good,

1:33:06.760 --> 1:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it's all good. It's a good uh. My thing is

1:33:10.439 --> 1:33:13.960
<v Speaker 1>given artists that would never get an opportunity to be

1:33:14.880 --> 1:33:17.439
<v Speaker 1>on a major label coming from the hood because the

1:33:17.520 --> 1:33:20.320
<v Speaker 1>people want real street music. And Mr Cool was on job,

1:33:20.560 --> 1:33:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Msical was on job. We got Msical offer job. Yeah,

1:33:25.960 --> 1:33:41.439

1:33:44.200 --> 1:33:46.360
<v Speaker 1>some good ship. We're gonna keep going to think about

1:33:46.400 --> 1:33:49.599
<v Speaker 1>it though, if you you're giving all these big artists

1:33:49.640 --> 1:33:52.639
<v Speaker 1>record deals, why we can't give the ones that had

1:33:52.720 --> 1:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>just real talent but just wrong. That's what I looked at.

1:33:55.680 --> 1:33:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I always deal with the underdogs. Same thing with the movie.

1:33:58.520 --> 1:34:01.479
<v Speaker 1>If you look at a DC Young, Fat Boy and PO,

1:34:01.840 --> 1:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>they would never be in a big movie like this.

1:34:03.880 --> 1:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I got to hook up too. But PO is a

1:34:05.960 --> 1:34:11.080
<v Speaker 1>real sto man. DC Young fliers a real stuff. He's

1:34:11.120 --> 1:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy, and I

1:34:13.960 --> 1:34:18.519
<v Speaker 1>got to hook up too, so you know, uh up, Yeah,

1:34:18.600 --> 1:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>he ended up riving a ups truck filled with with

1:34:23.880 --> 1:34:26.320
<v Speaker 1>with phones and y'all know the my phones a thousand

1:34:26.400 --> 1:34:29.080

1:44:38.680 --> 1:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>People really literally take what you do and you can

<v Speaker 1>they're supposed to do what they gotta do. Man, we

1:45:16.280 --> 1:45:18.879
<v Speaker 1>gotta stop. That's why I can still hang with the youngsters.

<v Speaker 1>better than me. That's when I know we're gonna build

1:45:39.160 --> 1:45:41.759
<v Speaker 1>a generation. We can't build on generational well with everybody

1:45:41.840 --> 1:45:49.559
<v Speaker 1>being pop, I don't know what more th access killed it. Listen,

1:45:49.640 --> 1:45:51.639
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something, master opinion, let go before

1:45:51.640 --> 1:45:56.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody lap. When we started this podcast, we wanted to

1:45:56.120 --> 1:45:58.760
<v Speaker 1>interview people like you who's been in this game. It's

1:45:58.800 --> 1:46:02.160
<v Speaker 1>been relevant because people use that word relevant. That word

1:46:02.200 --> 1:46:06.639
<v Speaker 1>relevant is a fucking foul fucking words because Apparson, it's

1:46:06.640 --> 1:46:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a foul world revant because relevant is relevant to the

1:46:09.720 --> 1:46:13.759
<v Speaker 1>people who's relevant to the relevancy. Meaning, if you ask

1:46:14.400 --> 1:46:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Soldier Boy fans it's Master p relevant, they'll say no.

1:46:19.080 --> 1:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Then you ask Master Peace fans it's Soldiery relevant. I

1:46:22.760 --> 1:46:25.680
<v Speaker 1>don't say hell no, you ask drink Chance mans. And

1:46:25.840 --> 1:46:28.880
<v Speaker 1>it's so on and so both. It's so relevant means nothing.

1:46:29.680 --> 1:46:32.439
<v Speaker 1>It's to the people who are you in then where

1:46:33.000 --> 1:46:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't and I don't focus on the world at all,

1:46:35.439 --> 1:46:37.880
<v Speaker 1>but in my world. Yeah, but if you put your

1:46:37.920 --> 1:46:39.519
<v Speaker 1>trust and gold, you don't got the worry about that.

1:46:39.720 --> 1:46:43.280
<v Speaker 1>You have a motherfucking god of my world. And I

1:46:43.439 --> 1:46:47.479
<v Speaker 1>got to beg you to fuck up. You deserve it

1:46:48.240 --> 1:46:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and the ship you did. I wanted to go to

1:46:51.520 --> 1:46:54.920
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans. I think I never been to Jamaica. Queens

1:46:55.000 --> 1:46:57.320
<v Speaker 1>at this time come from the other side of the

1:46:57.479 --> 1:47:05.439
<v Speaker 1>queen my goals. Yet I almost got killed trying to

1:47:05.439 --> 1:47:13.640
<v Speaker 1>get about verse. Yeah, and I really didn't know that

1:47:13.800 --> 1:47:16.360
<v Speaker 1>this killers outside of New York to that moment. So

1:47:16.600 --> 1:47:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Nigga said, what are you out here for us? I'm

1:47:19.760 --> 1:47:25.160
<v Speaker 1>looking about about it now, man. But we got, like

1:47:25.200 --> 1:47:27.840
<v Speaker 1>you said, we got change that mindset, man, because even

1:47:27.920 --> 1:47:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I look at New Orleans a different way now that

1:47:30.800 --> 1:47:33.840
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not there, because at that time we was

1:47:33.880 --> 1:47:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a murder capital of the world, three hundred thousand people.

1:47:38.520 --> 1:47:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Chicago had eight millions. We had more murders than Chicago.

1:47:41.640 --> 1:47:45.720
<v Speaker 1>That like, we gotta stop that because we are using

1:47:45.760 --> 1:47:48.920
<v Speaker 1>our brains thinking about when we start using that now

1:47:49.040 --> 1:47:50.639
<v Speaker 1>we know, we know how to get money. We don't

1:47:50.640 --> 1:47:52.840
<v Speaker 1>know how to keep it, and we don't know what

1:47:52.960 --> 1:47:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to do with it, and we don't know how to

1:47:55.040 --> 1:47:58.560
<v Speaker 1>spend it. So we have to educate ourselves on financially.

1:47:58.760 --> 1:48:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But we have to grow. You know, people always use

1:48:00.640 --> 1:48:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that word that they're in the ghetto. Man, how you

1:48:03.920 --> 1:48:08.040
<v Speaker 1>get out together? You gotta outthink the system, especially if

1:48:08.040 --> 1:48:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you gotta you gotta want to change. I tell people

1:48:09.840 --> 1:48:12.960
<v Speaker 1>broke being broken as a mindset. So when we start

1:48:13.960 --> 1:48:16.519
<v Speaker 1>changing our mindset and start growing, we could do it

1:48:16.520 --> 1:48:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and we could build big old builders. We could come

1:48:18.400 --> 1:48:21.439
<v Speaker 1>back and rejuvenate. We could go buy stuff, you know,

1:48:21.520 --> 1:48:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we could buy clothing and start closing companies. You know,

1:48:24.040 --> 1:48:26.320
<v Speaker 1>back then, I had a dog, Like nobody there an think.

1:48:26.520 --> 1:48:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I was crazy, like, man, you're gonna make the dog

1:48:29.360 --> 1:48:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the dog to make him saying dog? You know? You

1:48:32.000 --> 1:48:35.840
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm so like, you can gentrify your own

1:48:35.880 --> 1:48:39.120
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood exactly, exactly. And that's what this movie I got

1:48:39.200 --> 1:48:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to hook up to is about, too, man, gentrification. What
