0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of people, um probably view the show as um

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>a platform for us to just to be representing gangster

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.960

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>in depth issues with the show. Um. We deal with

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>brothers who have been through the ups and downs of

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the justice system or wrong fleet incarcerated, or you know,

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.360

<v Speaker 1>letting me be a part of the show. You know,

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I came on a little later, but you know we

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of little trials and tribulations when I

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>joined the show, And when he came I was like, hell,

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>know that they're gonna work this. I got you know,

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>so I guess people thought that, um, you know, whatever

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be, uh the difficulties, but you know it's

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good. James and Stills like my brothers. You

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. We're coming to gather on a

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of issues and a lot of insights would come

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>from the show. We all sit down together and deal

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>with that on that aspect, So you know, give it

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>up for the Gangster Chronicles period all the time at

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the time, Yeah for show. See these casts are about

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to make me get sentimental. I said, I'm gonna stay

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>up here and look hard all day. Ain't gona get sentimental.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>But I want to dedicate this show to my brothers.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, James Nate are like my brothers. We talked

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>with each other every day. You know, we gotta play

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the show out and everything, and um, I just want

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>to dedicate this to James because I've seen so much's

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>growth in him since I first met him. You know,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the first episode, James didn't talked to like the last

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes. I told Glasses when I got home, I said, man,

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we might have something. Man, but James gotta talk.

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like he was just sitting in the room just

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>checking us out. But I saw him grow to the

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>point to where you know, he could come up here

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and do this ship by off now, you know. So

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I want you all to give him a round of

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>applause because that's my hero right there. Wow, my nigga

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever forever and like you know, a c and we

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>went through the trials and tribulations. I ain't gonna talk

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 1>about that. You know, Reggie was a part of the show,

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and whatever happened with him happened. And then you know,

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows we went on this long time follows to

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the show, but it's like this, you know, when everything

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>first came up, we did start getting a little attention

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>on the show. We had different companies calling us that

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>wanted to talk to us, but each situation just seemed

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>like it was kind of filed. Me and James will

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>go to these meetings and James would be excited this

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 1>ship and I'm like, man, I don't know if that's

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a good look for us, and I just thank him

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to just just trust me with everything. You know, is

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>everything we're going and we go still keep going, but

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>to continue with the thing, because that's what we all about,

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>are about the streets. We got a brother here. Now,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>this brother here, he allegedly sold a whole bunch of

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>dope and different stuff like that, didn't have no no injuries,

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>went through your whole street career when no injuries, they

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>had two rooms every day and then. But yeah, so

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 1>so it so happens to where he just be coming out.

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>He happened to be out in l a on some

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>whole other stuff to visit somebody, and he gets put

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>in the wheelchair, get shot to get paralyzed. But he

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't turn bitter, he didn't turn angry. You know, waiting

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the streets are still as heavy as it ever was,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. This brother right here, and

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>really before she was heavy in the politics. She had

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.360

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>then now she went it Fox News clowning. They respect her.

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>They really feared though, for real because no like her,

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>like her show straight shot, no Chases. She ain't playing

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, man, you season a number when you

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 1>get all this from She's like, huh. She got me

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>watching policies. Man, let me tell you something. I couldn't

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 1>stand politics because I felt the all fakers lived from

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Obama on down. He's gonna give you these prospection in

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the past. When Obama was running for office, he was

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>promising how the crack lag gonna go. One is gonna

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>go one to one, this and that, this and that

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't get in there, and his hands is tired and

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>he can't do it. But I didn't know none of that.

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Then I learned though that from her it's a it's

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a process for everything. Just because you're president on me,

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can just make this happen. So now

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>they gave me a little bit more respectful Obama, and

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>she every day she's giving me some type of tidbit

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>or game about the politics. Now, man, I'm looking at

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>it turning on there. You said I'm gonna see any

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'm on Fox. I'm on all of them just

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>because her, Because now I understand more so you got

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.839
<v Speaker 1>to give a shot at her for that. Dea for

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>sure shut out. She's been able to school us being uh,

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>coming from our side of the tracks, you know what

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, trying to live that neighborhood lifestyle whatever, and

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>then being able to flip over in the politics and

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>learning the game that those people come from. She's been

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>able to school a lot of us on the insights

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of what you probably were knowledgeable about as far as politics.

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>She got me on it. But I like most though,

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it is how She could give you an analogy about anything,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>but she's showing you how crips and bloods and how

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.679
<v Speaker 1>we getting down on the streets. It's and in the

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>pan it's so similar how the politics get in. She

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>break it down like that, and you're like, Dan, you

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Yeah, just stuff, understand that from

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that street side, saying she's the school. Motherfucker's on. Hey,

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you didn't know that this, and let's let me break

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it down to you in street terms. That's what one

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>of her her main things is, let me put it

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 1>in street terms for you so you can understand. And

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.439
<v Speaker 1>it's just like a button click, like damn, you know

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. She always said she I'm trying to

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 1>get eight to go on to run for me. Here

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>counter she keeps saying that, yeah, man, you know, so

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.319
<v Speaker 1>spoil let's go back. So I assume if he was

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.439
<v Speaker 1>out of town in Oklahoma, he was out there handling

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>your business, doing my thing. He was out there doing

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>your thing. How long was you out there? Uh? Until

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I called my case at ninety nine seven years because

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>when he was down there doing a goal there that

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>it was a good run, that was a good out

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of town. And how much time do you wind up

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>doing seventeen and a half years. They give me seventeen

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and a half years. I did fifteen years and eleven months.

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been home since two thousand and fifteen. And so

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 1>while you was in there, you started a program to

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>where you help brothers start learning how to read the

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>books and stuff like that. Right, yeah, it came about

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you know when the car, when you're in the fest,

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it's really states, your states. Just kick it up. And

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>then you got the bees to see sup. So we're cool.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just us, but so you don't really get outside

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>your circle. Its state. This is Callie, where you're tremping

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>blood square open and whatever. It's Callie. And then when

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>my book first came out, at that time, I had

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>dropped my first series with call Whoever and the Homies,

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.199
<v Speaker 1>I was getting book shifted in Homies let me read

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you when everything and I'm just giving him to the

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 1>homies to read. And this is one particular HOMEI he's

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>from Houston. They led him in the car just because

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 1>he had Fami the cafortable and Sweet messed with us.

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>And then I could just tell it was like he

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 1>check me on me. Oh man, this is tight, I'm

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna read it. And it's just like we're being there

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>watching TV. You can see sometimes we got a little

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.199
<v Speaker 1>gamnet tickets where bat on sports and you could seem

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>like screen, I'm gonna blind or something's wrong with you.

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.000

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Is this? And I just picked up on some kind

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>of room. I left me something you can't read on

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I fake it as I know. We ain't gonna do that.

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, we ain't can do it. Every day home,

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>come to the room with me. Were fin the kid,

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.959

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna read this book on your own. And told me

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 1>I saw it the home and start didn't and he

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>come to be able to read a chapter on his own.

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I got it. You know, we gotta whisper because you

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>know that ego. You gotta keep that front up in it.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So after that I went down to the education. It

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>was like a man, uh, I want to teach a

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>class and they knew everybody around the yard knew I

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>had books out from prison. I signed my deal or whatever,

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>so then I got that, I got the little class started,

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and I had like fifty people in the class, like damn.

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>So in beginning I start off just and look everything

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>that goes on in the air, I'm staying here, man.

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>We ain't putting it with your homies the different cause

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>we can't keep this in here. Man. First of all,

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>if you have a filmmenty and read, let's talk about

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 1>that too, because I want to set up something where

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>we can start getting people to getting up out of

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>here and having a shot. Instead, they teach you how

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to fell out the applications antybody even filling out paper applications.

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Everything is own line. So but you got to know

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 1>how to read. And that's how I started. So I

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>started teaching. It was just basically giving them the floormat

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.319
<v Speaker 1>on how to write a book if you're interested in that,

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and then slash. If you don't have the problems read,

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna break it down and we're gonna learn how

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And it's like ninety day classes. Man.

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I did that all the way my last three years,

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>so got out and every time and just to like

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I say appreciation that they showed me a little panel back. Man,

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.960

<v Speaker 1>me something and that that just stuck with me, you

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. And it was a good feeling,

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>real good feeling. Yeah. So how many brothers would you

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>estimate that she was able to help learn how to

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>read during the whole time every ninety day. So that's

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>four it's four times a year, three times times three years,

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>said Hunter. So it's your Hunter brothers out there to

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>know how to read. Man, that's some really, that's incredible.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.880

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, some Louisiana cats. Just after each class,

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>after the ninety days is up, they send a sheet

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to the unit. They put them on the wall all

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.920

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>back and deal with it. But every day is a

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 1>struggle because how couldn't you not want to retaliate, because

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.639
<v Speaker 1>that's that's how we was for the fact that you

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:45.479
<v Speaker 1>are still here and you have to reminisce on the

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 1>fact that, well, that would make any motherfucker like until you,

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:53.639
<v Speaker 1>like you say, James, until you heal those demons and

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>those thoughts. But that's hard. I've been shot both times

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that you want you want to liffering occasions you're ready

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to get the motherfucker. The closest was right here by

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 1>my nuts with a shotgun. I still got the buckshots

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.919
<v Speaker 1>in me and then my back. And every time you

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 1>get shot, you say fucking. But going back home and

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>back to the hood, you can't say fucking. It's go time. Yeah,

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you gotta feel that way, but I mean the repercussions

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 1>of it. It's a month and just thank God that

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>that I didn't lose my life four different times. You

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 1>have to think about it, you know what I'm saying,

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cats out of here want to get

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:39.480

<v Speaker 1>I was like about fifteen, I should be like telling,

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:48.960

<v Speaker 1>but think about it. You really should listen to somebody

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>has already have been through. Nigger lucky home, n this

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is before the cheer. I'm lucky. It's God, it has

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to be, you know what I mean. I go seek

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to detention centers. I did in Oklahoma. I did in

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Texas at UH when that was Testas set that up.

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>It was a Texas Southern College. And then I go

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to the juvenile halls and just we are doing this pandemic.

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>We've been doing zooms just to see how the kids

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>hang on my every word. And I'm because I'm telling

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that this ain't no movie, This ain't no scared straight,

0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I ain't trying to scape. Just real, look at it,

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and this was a fluke, you know what I mean,

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.679
<v Speaker 1>It's real. I think the problem with that is because

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 1>ship just like we was when we was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>it was hard for motherfucker to tell us not to

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>bang or rept the hood because we felt like ship,

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>what else is it if you're doing it still at

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 1>end them the day because we've been there and done that.

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>The way we used to get down is totally different.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>The time they used to give you back then setay

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 1>two hours. If a motherfucker didn't show up, you walked

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>away from my mind. Now today you're getting motherfucking life

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>at fourteen, fifteen years old. They don't give a fuck.

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 1>But when when we was doing it, I mean, it

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>was a slap on the ridge, get the funk on.

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, they see us again something you know what

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But some dude listen and something don't. What

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.719
<v Speaker 1>is the effect of the motherfucker's who tell you just

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like I'm been through them the episodes too at fifteen

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>sixteen and the motherucker trying to tell you you shouldn't

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 1>this and that, and I'm looking at him like, nigga,

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 1>fuck you, this this the hood. But that's the problem. Today.

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You can't we can't be hypocrites because I look like

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:39.800

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you're a freaking idiot for going out this shooting somebody

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that was my life. So I can't tell him that,

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 1>but I can sit him down and say check this,

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>o nig, this is where you're gonna go if you

0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>keep doing what you do, if you want to get

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 1>down like this, I can't stop you. I ain't you daddy,

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and do that time. Come home on. And I thought

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:22.120

<v Speaker 1>you get me or third. And I love you California

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:51.439
<v Speaker 1>dudes for this. Take me to try, take me to trail.

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have you, your kids, kids, gonna have grand

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 1>kids by the time you come on, if you don't

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.879
<v Speaker 1>die in prison. So it's something that you're going back

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and listen all the stories in there about me and

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>then tell me what you want to do. Then I

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 1>get the letters from the homies, my baby mama like, man,

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 1>just take a deal this ship. When I'm didding tender like,

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:12.840
<v Speaker 1>oh no, no, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:17.960
<v Speaker 1>signing nothing with they ten, okay, but tender life now, then,

0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 1>my lord, you put it up on it. He said.

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Tender life is just they standing. It goes on your

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 1>criminal history. Lucky, I ain't never being convicted as an

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>adult on anything, and they couldn't use my juvennam so

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:33.879
<v Speaker 1>my numbers failed fourteen and a half years to seventeen years.

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 1>So I took the deal. But when I went to court,

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.400
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't tell, she brought a Dudeya. Every time

0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I saw the mckeago or cocaine, I had a gun.

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 1>So now that up my numbers for seventeen and a

0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 1>half being my low head, two four being my high

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.359
<v Speaker 1>and my and my lawyer was said, when it's two ten,

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 1>he put some years. I was like, man, I'm not man,

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:56.200
<v Speaker 1>how am I taking this ship? Man? You ain't taught

0:37:56.239 --> 0:38:00.760
<v Speaker 1>me with nothing? And he said, my lawyer give him eighty.

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:03.319
<v Speaker 1>He said, look, man, I'm gonna give you sixty back.

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take to twenty for travel to take this.

0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Take the deal because like the grand jury certified, once

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 1>they certified what they were, it is God law. And

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay. So I come up out it with

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>seventeen and a half years in two thousand and I

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 1>come home two thousand and fifteen. But while I was

0:38:20.239 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in prison, I wrote twenty seven bucks and I got

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 1>fourteen of them out right now. So I found that talent.

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 1>So I think that was my blessing. The time was

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:31.960
<v Speaker 1>all this ship, Like my mama said, he got all

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>this time for stuff you got away from. Think about

0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff you got away with. It could have

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:39.080
<v Speaker 1>been worse, and it would have been worse to take

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:40.680
<v Speaker 1>this time and learn something. Come out of there with

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 1>some degrees, do something. Don't you come out being the

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>same spuds my mama tell you. So let me ask

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you this, But you wrote how many books? I wrote

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:53.759

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Urban Books. That's some dope ship and so so so

0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the first one, how did you come up with that?

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:13.120

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:17.759

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.200

0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:23.920
<v Speaker 1>an up and coming company and she's gonna give me

0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 1>your best book out right now. And it was called

0:43:26.239 --> 0:43:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Snow Bunny. So when I gave it to her, she

0:43:29.040 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>changes to California Love. That was my first release, and

0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 1>she gave me a contract with fifteen thousand out of advance.

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Then once her fifty come back, I give the royalties

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of my life. Two times a year

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:45.759
<v Speaker 1>at uh to two dollars and fifty cent a book. See,

0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't getting the royalty, didn't know nothing about no

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 1>royalty until I met Jess. That was just buying you

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:54.439
<v Speaker 1>out there pretty much. But I didn't have a first

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:57.640
<v Speaker 1>She told me somebody ain't by, but I will put

0:43:57.760 --> 0:43:59.759
<v Speaker 1>them by. One call that said, I want my name on.

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even talk about doing money. I got a quota,

0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:05.120
<v Speaker 1>but let my name you on the suit. My name's

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.719
<v Speaker 1>when she said, no problem. So we took that and

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:09.879
<v Speaker 1>I moved forward. And she still never put the books out.

0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 1>A good friend of mine still trying to get me

<v Speaker 1>Karen Caring ended up going to funk. She couldn't keep

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:25.480
<v Speaker 1>doing she was losing money. So she was working for

0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Carl Webber as his main assistant Raban Bucks. So now

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.040

0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:54.040

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:18.520
<v Speaker 1>every May and November. And then that's how I grew it.

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Then I've ended up giving him one, two and three,

0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and then he don't play fash, she don't play fair.

0:45:26.520 --> 0:45:29.759

0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:32.399

0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:36.120
<v Speaker 1>turned on him, from two thousand nine to two thousand

0:45:36.160 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and fifteen until I came home. And I's been on

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:40.920
<v Speaker 1>since I've been home. I don't let two books out

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.359
<v Speaker 1>a year except for last year. Last almost two years

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I've been down and you know promotion going to the

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:50.719
<v Speaker 1>city to city bow. I mean here, I am fished

0:45:50.760 --> 0:45:52.719
<v Speaker 1>out the fans that I'm going to East State and

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 1>it ain't the state. I ain't gonna go through that.

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I know somebody that was in the first or calling

0:45:56.680 --> 0:45:58.799
<v Speaker 1>home he went went Since since how did Detroit men

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:01.360
<v Speaker 1>tell himmu? Did Tim brings people up there? And the

0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.640
<v Speaker 1>people who I'm doing the signings, it becomes redundant. This

0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:07.840
<v Speaker 1>is what we're doing from basically May October. That's the

0:46:07.880 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>little circuit run where you hit Detroit, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indiana,

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:15.800
<v Speaker 1>then you hit Philly, New York, Jersey, and then you

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:18.720
<v Speaker 1>hit the South. And what's so crazy? What I'm thinking,

0:46:19.320 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>how can I hear all these states and getting all

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 1>this money but can't feel good? California is like number

0:46:24.520 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty on my list, it's my best sellers. How come

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>where I'm from, where I know thousands of bloods because

0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:37.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody houses of crips. Why motherfucker's can't get my book

0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 1>at home? This is says, that's just how we do

0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it because we don't read, and we don't read. We're

0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:45.560
<v Speaker 1>too visual. They do that in music but yeah, we're

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:49.279
<v Speaker 1>too visual. We want to see the movie instead of

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:51.120
<v Speaker 1>read the book. But you know they always say the

0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 1>book is better than the movie. But in California, no

0:47:19.600 --> 0:47:22.719
<v Speaker 1>new people. It's I heard about you. Hey, I got

0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:24.920

<v Speaker 1>can't bring me the old books you got to sign.

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:28.520
<v Speaker 1>You gotta buy one. Man, I got this book. I

0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:30.759
<v Speaker 1>bound with this with signing just so they can put

0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it up. And then that's how you build it and

0:47:34.000 --> 0:47:36.359
<v Speaker 1>the building a night. Right now, I'm a national best

0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:39.920
<v Speaker 1>selling Arthor builds your farther from the ground up, from

0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the from the prison to the street. I'm still trying

0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:44.879
<v Speaker 1>to get the West coast. I'm trying to get the house,

0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:47.640
<v Speaker 1>but I can't lose money. Set and trying to get

0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:49.759
<v Speaker 1>home to cracket, y'all here with it. I'm gonna get

0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:52.560

<v Speaker 1>same time, y'all, y'all want movies in that's coming to

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.840

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:04.480
<v Speaker 1>can't do, yeah, for sure, because West Coast is definitely

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:07.279
<v Speaker 1>a more visual place. So let me ask you this man,

<v Speaker 1>like God, thank you so much for keeping your hand

1:02:10.120 --> 1:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>on me. I was a damned food bugs. You ever

1:02:13.840 --> 1:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>think about it like this, man, with all the stuff

1:02:15.880 --> 1:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you went through and now at what you're doing that

1:02:17.840 --> 1:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe God had this plan for you the whole time.

1:02:20.160 --> 1:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy. I wish I could show you the tape

1:02:22.480 --> 1:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. My talks. Uh Oklahoma is one of the

1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>very first talks I did. And uh at the end

1:02:29.960 --> 1:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>of when I've seen how the kids were like, I

1:02:33.720 --> 1:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>had a spill for the girls and they had a

1:02:35.920 --> 1:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>spill for the whole over thing. It was a meaning

1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>because it all came up the dome and it came

1:02:40.080 --> 1:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>from the heart. I was breaking them to the girls.

1:02:42.640 --> 1:02:44.640

<v Speaker 1>I can look at you because I can see the

1:03:26.200 --> 1:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>food because I was once to food, and so I

1:03:28.880 --> 1:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>said back the end of the whole thing. When I

1:03:30.360 --> 1:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>tied off, I said, who do y'all want? Short money?

1:03:33.080 --> 1:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Along money? Long money? Is that due to took his time?

1:03:35.560 --> 1:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Square went to school, got him a job, rather it

1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>was met or what the college? You got a career

1:03:40.240 --> 1:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>because that's gonna pay all long money. Then then here

1:03:42.400 --> 1:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna go to Jim. So who do y'all want?

1:03:44.400 --> 1:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to short money, short but you know long money,

1:03:47.120 --> 1:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>long money? Okay? Cool. I tell the dudes the same thing.

1:03:50.320 --> 1:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But at the end, I said, man, listen, lord, my

1:03:54.520 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>home was something about something. So they say, uh, I say, man,

1:04:00.440 --> 1:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and this was this was It's beautiful that you asked

1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that question, because this was a real touching point for me,

1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and I knew then that this is what I wanted

1:04:07.560 --> 1:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to really do. I said, man, when I used to

1:04:10.560 --> 1:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>lay down and wonder when I should go to funerals

1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and see see how homie being buried. That wasn't even

1:04:17.720 --> 1:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>really like that. We're being a homie. That was a

1:04:20.600 --> 1:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>mediocre game banger at best, where if they seen me

1:04:24.000 --> 1:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and him next to each other, they're gonna be gunning

1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>for me more than him. And now I'm looking at

1:04:28.480 --> 1:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>his family, and I'm asking just crying and did it

1:04:31.920 --> 1:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>all this grief? And I was asking me why am

1:04:34.720 --> 1:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I still here and why I'm not the one laying down.

1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, now I know the reason God kept me

1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>here to speak to y'all. God kept me here to

1:04:41.960 --> 1:04:44.840
<v Speaker 1>give y'all my story. And that's where and that's what

1:04:45.000 --> 1:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>it was. And it feels so good saying it because

1:04:47.680 --> 1:04:49.600
