134
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know what it was. You know what

135
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,400

136
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: to do the techno how single. I don't know if

137
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,680

138
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: we automatically got picked up by orps okay, and then

139
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: we started working on the album. UM we signed the

140
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Big Beat, which was Unknowns production company. Okay. And how

141
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: I got funked out of my publishing It's because Unknown

142
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: had me signed a contract for recording with Big Beating,

143
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: but he stapled a publishing contract on the back of

144
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: the contract after I signed it, so labels didn't give

145
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: a fuck because I was going through him. I was seventeen,

146
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I was still living at home with Moms. I signed

147
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: a contract and Moms didn't even know, and then they

148
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: added it to the contract. He added a publishing contract,

149
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: which means all the songs and nobody ever wrote any

150
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: rap for me. I wrote every fucking rap I've ever done,

151
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: but I never got paid for the ship I wrote

152
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: because a known had his publishing company when he slapped

153
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: the contract on that. When he slapped the contract on

154
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,160

162
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: was a young nicka banging from Compton. My dream was

163
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,800

164
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: Ship about publishing and all that Ship and writers. I

165
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: got the studio with Slip. He produced the beats I did,

166
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: the wraps are known, work the deals. That's it, okay.

167
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: The problem with came for me was I wasn't getting

168
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: the royalties nothing. I wasn't seeing Ship known to give

169
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: me some bread up front. And then I didn't even

170
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: know what he was getting until we fell out. I

171
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: didn't know he was getting ninety hundred thousand from Orpheus Capital.

172
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,280

177
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: what I made off the first album. I probably made

269
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: fucking someone was tripping me out more than anything else

270
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: because I worked in publishing. He took the niggas writers.

271
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: You know, usually in the in the in the record game,

272
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: the producer, whoever make the beats and whoever write the

273
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: lyrics usually spit the writers and the publishing the game

274
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: go because got to write the music so you can wrap,

275
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: you can write the rats. So usually the producer of

276
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: the music and the writer of the world. It depends

277
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: on you know, and you also got different kind of

278
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: different type of uh splits depending on who did what

279
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: over here, who did what over there. You can see

280
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: that that's the part of people, that's that's the part

281
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: of the game that they don't teach your ands they

282
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: don't want you to know about that part of the game.

283
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: They almost got me, but they didn't get me because

284
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: I had a coach but coming into the game. So

285
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: when I came into the game, it was a whole

286
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: it was a whole different situation. I had a coach

287
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: coming in, so I learned about publishers before they sucked me. Okay,

288
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: I didn't understand it for a long time because you

289
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: tell me, I got a whole, a whole riding to

290
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: share and a whole uh publisher share. They equal, but

291
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: they separate like this is the easiest way I explained

292
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: to people. It's like you got a pot right right,

293
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: split that pot in the middle right, then you gotta

294
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, you're really getting like a fourth or something. Technically,

295
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying, You're really getting like a fourth.

296
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: It's like a piece of pie. You got this, you

297
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: split this right, you split that. What happens here is, though,

298
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: you get some people that get greedy, right and they

299
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: come in and they want to take this right here

300
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: and just leave somebody with a little you know what

301
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, if somebody eat a ball of

302
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: pie and just not to be an asshole, they're leave

303
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: a little sliter or some ship. Motherfucking that's how the

304
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: ship is. Well, you know what, Also, here's the here's

305

00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: I've seen him on the freeway. Like I said, I don't.

372
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't the type of motherfucker who felt like I

373
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: needed to get with him. Now. I wasn't taking out

374
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: the lunch. But I don't have no motherfucking ill wills,

375
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm ready to get in the motherfucker face and

376
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: have it out. Like I said, I'm too mature for

377
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: that ship right now. It's a lesson that I learned.

378
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: You get me. I know about writers and publishing, the

379
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: deals I do today, motherfucker's gonna do no deals. I publishing,

380
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: the writers everything. It's good. So it was a lesson learned.

381
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: But I have to tell motherfucker's about my situation because

382
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people be not understanding artists went through

383
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: certain things, and they be expecting, motherfucker's, man, how come

384
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: you ain't living on top of the hills and you

385
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: ain't got the fuckingness and that, and then I have

386
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: to explain to motherfucker's how ship go just because you

387
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: see ship. And then a lot of ships made believe

388
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: well when they see you in uh in movies and

389
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: oh yo yo yo albums and ship, they figured there's

390
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot of money attached exactly, you know what I'm saying.

391
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: So that's where they get it from. They believe, oh

392
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: they my fucking rich, you know, in contracts and contracts

393
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: as crazy as funk. Because Jerry Hill always says he

394
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: never got food. Once you signed a contract, that's what

395
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: you agreed to, Okay. So if you're getting a piece

396
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: of Ruthless, because it's it's how his deal restriction. He

397
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: managed Ruthless records, Easy E, n w A, and each

398
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: member of n Way separately. So if Phoebs gave Ruthless

399
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: money he got when RUFUS paid easy Eat, he got

400
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: when Rufus paid Yeller dre q R. That was a deal.

401
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: But that's the legal of fuck. But that's that was

402
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: a deal. So you can't take that deal because you're

403
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: signed that deal. Off your right mind. Okay, if you

404
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: have eighteen years old, you're signed that deal. That's the deal.

405
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: You can't go to courting soon because you signed a

406
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: bad deal. That's just how business is in America. If

407
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: you don't know, I ain't got to tell you. And

408
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: that's the fun up party about the game. If you

409
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: don't know, I ain't got I mean, I mean, I

410
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: kill each motherfucker's. That's like a fucking attorney. I was

411
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: working with the same ship from me, and then if

412
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: I paid Chill or Bam or when niggas went on

413
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: the road with me and they got paid, he got

414
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: twenty percent of what because he was the managed. Yes,

415
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: oh my god, that the killer. And I'm like this,

416
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: I can and I will not accept being used like that.

417
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm glad I'm not a rapper because if

418
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: a motherfucker would have took advantage of me, I'd rather

419
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: ship in prison. Well, you don't let you. They don't

420
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: let motherfucker's like that in industry. Is the first time

421
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: you go up and you got one time to tear

422
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: one of them officers, you get one good time. You

00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: who went through that transition at a time when they

425
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: was attacking the officers and ship. But that's when you

426
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: started getting security and police and the sucking party records,

00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: was actually going to the Present plant and pressing more

757
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: records than they were supposed to on the account. We

758
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: had a collective account of a hundred thousand dollars, so

759
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: when it came time to get paid from certain people,

760
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: we had to pay the pressing first. So the present

761
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: money came up the top, and the last album came

762
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: out was the Compter compilation, so we got caught up.

763
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: The Compter Compilation got caught up in the mix between

764
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: the fucking the Present Plant and our distributor, and we

765
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't get no money we sold. We we shipped. I

766
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: think we should like ten thousand records the first month,

767
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: and I've never seen that record. Then to cut out

768
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: being no place I got get my money. Well, we don't.

769

Speaker 1: taking advances for videos and some other ship from another label.

771
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: What the funk you be? So I go to the

772

908
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: smart motherfucking sucked up. I know I got it a

909
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: position because I didn't done three albums. Uh, I hadn't

910
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: done a movie, a couple of soundtracks. I had a

911
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: little credibility. So I got a lawyer and I walked

912
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: into ant Sony and said and they're doing a mother

913
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: fucking more records un the Big Beat straight up, and

914
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: I said, either y'all gonna split this deal up and

915
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: let me control the deal from now on, or I'm

916
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: not rapping no more. That's what I told Sony. And

917
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: at the time, I just came off from music to

918
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: drive by, just came off a minutes to Society, So

919
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: the motherfucker's mouse was watering, So they like, what do

920
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: we want to keep an unhappy artist or do we

921
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: want to break this deal? What did they say? And

922
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: then the motherfucker's broke the deal and still wouldn't give

923
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: me what they was giving him. They was given unknown

924
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: about too something from my records. At that time when

925
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: I took over the deal, the motherfucker's cut the motherfucker

926
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: about hunting grand They didn't want to give me that

927
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: too something, so that I think they gave me a

928
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: bucks eighty to do the next record. Yeah, you think

929
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: they probably still try to slip unow on something to

930
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: back though. No, No, I mean, because you know what

931
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: makes sense. The deal was to Big Beat and we

932
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: had done we had done what ship. I did two

933
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: albums over there under Big Beat, under Epic okay, and

934
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: I think I only have one record left. And then

935
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: I guess they was just like, we want to keep

936
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: dealing with eight You know what I'm saying. I No,

937
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: one wasn't really doing Ship at the time. Slip was

938
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: doing mostly the production. I think Unknown probably was doing

939
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: maybe two beats out of my whole projects. So you

940
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: have you had one album. You had one album left

941
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: when you resigned with them, Right when I resigned with

942
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: under my own Ship. Yeah, I think I had one

943
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: more record laughing. That's probably they didn't want to give

944
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: you a whole bunch of probably man already in Go Bounce. Yeah,

945
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: but I've resigned and I ended up doing what I

946
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: ended up doing three more records for epics for Sony.

947
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: So in the end, you know everything that I wanted

948
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: to accomplish. You get me. I moved out of Counting,

949
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: I moved to Corona. I've been there every since. You

950
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: get me. Uh, my kids got a chance to experience

951
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: different ship. They gott have been around the motherfucking world

952
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: like two or three times. That's probably had mission, I said. So,

953
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: I like I tell people, it was a fucked up

954
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: situation for me to go through as a young kid,

955
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: but a lot of us have to go through some

956
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: We had a job ship since I started rapping. Okay, yeah,

957
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm about justifying that. But when you you

958
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: asked somebody, even though I look at my ship as

959
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: a job, A lot of people say that a job,

960
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: but I look at it as a job because I

961
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: have to stay out late hours, you know, in the

962
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: studio creating. I miss a lot of family time because

963
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go on the road. Even though and I'm

964
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: not one of those niggas, and anybody will tell you

965
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: I've never been the I've never been the fame nigger like, um,

966
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: niggas don't see me out. I didn't. I didn't never

967
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: do that. Once I moved to Corona and got the

968
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: house and all that ship, I would stay at home

969
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: unless I had to go out and do something. As

970
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: far as records ship is concerned, I didn't want to

971
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: be out nor at the clubs and whatever whatever. I

972
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: was a nigger that came from our era who saw

973
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: a lot, so I just felt it was better for

974
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: me to just stay indoors and not make able to

975
00:55:54,320 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 1: a lot of motherfuckers. Um, but it's been up some downs.

976
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: It ain't always been great. It's been struggles, you know

977
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:06,959
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then you get to a point

978
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: in your motherfucking life when you're dealing with this ship

979
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: pop ship or this music ship where ship goes like

980
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: this and then it just goes like this. You get me.

981
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: And once you get to that point where, like you know,

982
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: you hit your cruise in altitude and it ain't no

983
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: turbulence and ship like that, I'm great with that. You

984
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: don't give a fun. I don't give a fuck if

985
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm still if I'm selling a million records still and whatever,

986
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: I still get paid. You know, I collect my publishing

987
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: on ship. That's important to me. Uh, And I do ship.

988
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: I like to do. You give me. You got to

989
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning and punched no clock. Not

990
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: that that's bad, because we need normal motherfucker's. I tell

991
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: niggas every time. Everybody can't be no motherfucking rapping. Everybody

992
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: can't be no label on the producer. We gotta have

993
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: niggas who cut the grass, pick up the trash, and

994
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,959
Speaker 1: motherfucking water the grass. You get me, So it's gotta

995
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: be some normal motherfucker's. Unfortunately for me, I got the

996
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: gift to write music about what was going on in

997
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: the city of Counting. That's what I said. Not unfortunate,

998
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: was fortunate that I was able to be involved in

999
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: gangs and affiliated and saw the stresses of mama struggling

1000
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: and a daddy you know, who was getting high and

1001
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: been a single parent, and then the niggas on the corner.

1002
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: And so I was able to take that and put

1003
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 1: it into music to where motherfucker's you know, to this day,

1004
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: you go, hey, m C eight, So I got your respect,

1005
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to ask you something. Yeah, you

1006
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: know what. We talked about the violence of California eight,

1007
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: but we just had like, you know, in this social

1008
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: media area, it's almost more dangerous. You know, you had

1009
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: the um rapper Indian red Boy, you know who was

1010
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,480

00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: just walking next to him. They don't have no respect

1021
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: for the dead period. And back in the days, we

1022
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: have respect for the dads, but don't get a choice ship.

1023
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: Back in the days, nigger's funerals was getting shot out,

1024
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But today you know, you

00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: you I think you put a cap on certain ship

1026

00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: But you can't tell them nothing, no man, No, That's

1035
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They don't have no respect. And then

1036
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: they out here social media is fucking these dudes up,

1037
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: sucking them up because they got somewhere to go, and

00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: other people across town concealed. It was a goddamn sameing

1039
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: to see how it happened, but keeping it one hunted,

1040
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: that's how it happens. If somebody want to get you,

1041
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna get you. Is unfortunate that they can get

1042
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: you by this damn phone right here. The rumor had

1043

00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: death got a rumor to it as a rumor to

1046
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: who was in the car was a rumor who said

1047
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: where I was at? So it's gonna be rumors. The

1048
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: whole thing is the brother gone. But the little dude,

1049
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: he didn't have no new respect for nothing for light period.

1050
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,919
Speaker 1: And none of these little cats running around here don't

1051
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: even understand the game banging thing. Really, they just out

1052
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: here bug wild and they just doing them and they

1053
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: getting took out. We got the fast lane to to

1054
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: these these young niggas want reputation. The fast lane to

1055
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: it is on a different route then you know from

1056
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: back in our days. They looked at it ain't like

1057
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: they did something, they accomplished something. Then they put it

1095
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: to the West coast because they're making the ship popular.

1096
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: Here's another problem you got though, You got Biden into

1099
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: was talking about the crime Bill nine. Now I'm not

1100
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,000

1106
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: you got. The government couldn't make some moves to put

1107
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: to stop this ship, and they started doing it. They're

1108
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: coming and coming heavy handed then, and that coming with
