WEBVTT - Classic Interviews for Labor Day 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.240 That was needed me Rihanna Morning. Everybody's DJ M v 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.240 Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.360 We got a special guest in the building. My man. 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.840 They sat Rocket signing, Man a sap. You've been taking 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:15.760 a lot of heat lately. Man, Let's get right to it. 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.159 It's a it's an interview floating around and basically it 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:20.599 looked like you don't care about the Black Lives Matter movement, 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:22.400 like you don't care about black people. Said, you're not 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.560 out Shopton, you are a side Rocky. It's really messed up. 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.840 I want to say, you know, come here today and 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.360 clear the airways for the simple fact the whole interview 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.240 was taking out of context. As far as but I said, 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.720 I feel like I felt terrible as a black man, 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:42.880 as an American. Crazy like this, speak freely, my brother. 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.840 I just don't understand how they keep saying a dull skin, 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.000 they don't like black people, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.200 and it's because you do these interviews with these European reporters, 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.520 who journalists who want to make a name for themselves, 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.240 and they take out of context. You know what I mean? 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.640 If you read the most people who read that interview, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.200 they only read that section, you know, and see what 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.400 they saw floating around on the blogs. I feel like, 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.560 for the most part, people didn't really dissect that interview. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.120 You can see that that's not my context. I don't say, 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.840 my mates. This is the same guy that was reaching 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.440 asking me, yo, how many people you slept with? How 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:20.160 many girls you slept with? To get more reviews? Who knows? 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.160 So what are you trying to say? You got your 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.280 modern rappers like your favor rappers today. I don't know 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.200 if it's the future Drake. Anybody like you don't always 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.280 hear their content being about, you know, the political going 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.720 on all. I feel like, why put me on the 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.120 pedestal for that, especially when I'm not asking for that. 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.560 I want to make music. I want to inspire. I 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.000 want to promote peace because at a time like this, 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.120 I don't have all answers. I'm not trying to run 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.440 for congress. I'm not trying to run for office. I 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.360 don't have all answers. You know what I'm saying. I 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.720 want to promote prosperity, especially for black people, especially for 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.040 just young people, ambitious people under privilege. I'm not here 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.400 to talk about supremacy. I'm not here to talk about 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.320 who's dim and you know, I'm just I'm being in 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.840 London and looking at it from a different perspective. Man. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.399 It's it's it's really sad because you come over here 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.920 and you feel it. Like before, I thought they were 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.520 just trying to gas it for the world to make 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.800 it look like America's a bunch of idiots, and this racism, 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.600 you know, really big, and you know, coming back here, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.280 it's the truth. You could feel it energy, you could 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.440 feel at tension, you could feel the separation. It's why, 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.000 you know, a lot a lot of kids and a 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.560 lot of people look up to you. So I guess 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.239 they expect you, not just you, but the celebrities to 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.560 react and to say something into stand up, you know 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.760 for sure. And that's why I'm here today because when 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.960 it comes to stuff like this, I usually try to 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.239 you know, save it for the music or you know 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.880 what I mean, and or try to you know, speak 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.639 about it when I'm asked about it. But I think 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.040 I need to speak out, to speak up right now, 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.520 and especially coming back and seeing that that video, that 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:57.240 video with the you know the cop which one the 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.560 sterling one that really touched me the most because I 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.160 was just saying myself, you know what I mean, Like 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.720 we all know, I hope people don't think that I 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:13.120 feel like I'm invincible because you fitted the scripture. Now, 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.840 let me answer this. Do you think in that article 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.960 in Time Out in New York that you were misquoted 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.360 or you think you misspoke? I think it was a 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.280 mixture of both, because what I was really trying to 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.080 say is what I was just saying prior, like, I 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.760 just feel like most artists don't speak about that. And 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.079 when you got the journalists asking you, you know, so, well, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.280 how come you didn't speak about the Baltimore riots or 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.240 how come you didn't speak about you know, the your 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.720 Fergus and stuff and all this other stuff. And it's continuous, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.680 you know, question at the question you get agitated. At 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.360 the time, I was dealing with my best friend dying. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.880 Like if if y'all noticed, every time I put out 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:52.600 an album, it's like I lose somebody, Like I lost 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.560 my pops with my first album. I lost Answer my 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.160 second album. And that's what That's what I was going 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.760 through at this time. That's what I was thinking about. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.400 And I'm just saying like the same day that Sterling died, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.200 it was like three hundred people and quote quote me 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.560 if I'm wrong, like that died in Siburi the same day, 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.640 so I bury the same day, right, And it's just 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.520 like perception because we could look at that day. People 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.039 could look at my situation and only a few people 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:17.880 that can relate. They could be like, yeah, I did 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.599 lose the best friend. I know what that's like to 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.640 have to start an establishment with somebody lose them. Blah 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.800 blah blah. Some people can't relate. If people hear my story, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.280 they might go, oh that feel you know, really bad, 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.799 you know what I mean, and do make them insensitive 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.000 because they can't relate one hundred thousand percent. Look at 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.680 the people in Sibury, they probably looking at the situation 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.600 here like well we just lost three hundred. Yeah. It 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.320 basically about people's self interest, that's all. And I just 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.280 I just get upset. And what I was really trying 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.240 to say that it was like, yo, I just I 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.560 hate when the bandwagon stuff start. I mean, how come 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.159 black lives only matter when a police take them? You know, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.279 a police officer takes it, and it should be like 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.039 black lives shit, it should matter when the when the 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:58.800 black lives take it, you know what I mean, it 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.560 should but you're always matter. The long lives matter. Those 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.080 are those are two separate issues though because of imagine 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.680 like you know somebody saying we can't complain about ices 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.159 killing Americans because Americans kill each other all the time, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.120 or nobody ever says it's two different extremes, but it's 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.200 still didn't stay. It's hand in hand, no bro, you 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.040 know one one life is ingraded than the other. We 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.520 got more with Asap Rocky when we come back keeping locked. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:27.000 It's the breakfast Club, Good Morning, the breakfast club that 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.000 was Asap Rocky fan problems Morning. Everybody's DJ m vy 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.000 Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all the breakfast Club 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.240 Asap Rocky is in the building of Charalomagne. You said 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:38.720 that every time you put out an album, you lose 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.400 somebody and plus you was on drugs. Do you feel 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.240 like you're in a very dark place when you're doing 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.080 these interviews so sometimes you just agree at the end 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.400 of the day, I kind of felt like it was 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.480 just a pick on me situation, and I understand why 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.880 people was upset, but for the most part, I think 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.600 people are well are knowledgeable enough to know at this 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.800 day and age that you can't really depict what you 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.000 you can't really judge more for what you see or 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.680 something like that, especially judging my character with me. You 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.000 know what I'm saying. I hate to have to be 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.240 on the stand, especially man. Y'all need to be proud 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.840 of me. Man, Like i'd have a domestic case since 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.560 twenty twelve. One last time you heard about me busting 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.520 somebody heading the bottle. I'm chilling. I don't fight nobody, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.839 No more lawsuits. No, I'm trying to show another way. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.800 Like the best thing that I could do is show 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.640 y'all how I did it and what my state of 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.640 mind was like in my my my mentality and my 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.920 train of thought. You know what I'm saying. I'm at 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.479 a loss for words, and I'm overwhelmed at this point. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.280 But I'm not upset. I'm just really more hurt. And 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.160 it's not about the comments and none of that. I'm 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.320 just talking about like this country, how we look, how 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.440 we perceive this trash man. Did you didn't you lose 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.600 a brother that gonna violence? I did, Yes, I did. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.640 My brother died on the same block. I was born 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.719 on one hundred and sixteenth tree in the one inside. 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.640 You know what I'm saying, It's like, so I understand 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.760 why you say, you know, why why don't we talk 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.960 about black on black crime. My brother was a blood 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.000 you know what I'm saying, Like you know, four point 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.880 star General Easy Ricky. That man was nothing like me, 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.040 but at the same time was a victim to the 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.200 streets because that's the path that he chose. And I 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.360 learned from my brother mistakes, learned from my pops, mistakes, hustling, 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.800 going to jail, falling off, trying to get back on, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.920 take care of all his kids. I don't have no 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.760 kids yet. I'm trying to show you. You're so many columns, bro. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.640 I just feel like at this damn age, man, the 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.920 mentality everybody is just they don't want to think. It's individuals. 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.960 And that's what I'm trying to encourage because it's that 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.720 individual thought process that could bring us together as a unit. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.280 People got to think like individuals to come together as 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.000 a group. I agree with that. You did the joint 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.320 with Alicia Keys, the twenty three Joints twenty three Ways 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.000 for a Black man to dying the matter, so that 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.720 shows you can't show what was your way to die. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.480 You said in that it's about just asking for some help, 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.360 man help, Yeah, qualified help. I think it was just 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.920 funny and coincidental that, like, you know, as soon as 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.800 I get back to the stage, I'm dealing with all 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.080 this and I see what's going on, I feel attention. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.400 I decided to get involved. As soon as I decided 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.800 to get involved. It's like Schmian campaign. So you feel 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.280 like they saw you in a Elisha Keys video and 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.360 here like, okay, let's put this up. I don't know 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.760 what happened. I can only you know. Now. What about 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.720 the will I Am song? I see they're remaking Where 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.800 is the Love, like a new version of it? And 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.840 who so, who's on a year on it? I don't know. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.320 If I don't want, I don't want to speak out 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.840 of the line, okay, because I was trying to get 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.960 some insight in from this about it, but I didn't 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.120 know for sure who was on it. Yeah, it's a 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.640 few people, I'm gonna say. Uh. I was just really 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.800 really honored to be on that track. We all wish that, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.160 like it's like being an artist and being a lot 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.240 for when they made the like stevee one of Michael Jackson, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.400 we all the world, we all the like, like, you know, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.079 how could you not be a part of that? And 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.679 not just because of those names, but just because of 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.679 that time and with that message still for So that's 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.400 what I really wanted to manifest with that, Like I 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.240 just wanted to kind of you know, that was my contribution. 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.120 And like I said, you damned if you do, you 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.439 damnly be don't And I don't say nothing. Oh he 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.679 ain't on. He don't give a about nick. When I 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.679 do say something off, he don't really love it. So 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.480 it's just like you damn you do if you damned 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.319 if you don't. So it is what it is, you know, 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.480 it's back of one canceled out the other, like they 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.200 forget you. It was on the twenty three with Alicia 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.200 Keys or they don't know you're doing the empowerment song 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.439 and what I am? You need to stop doing print interviews.

And they 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.920 might be different in extremes. I'm just saying, man, across 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.960 the board, it's really all about this love.

No, 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.120 did we get in trouble for that? No, no, no, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.280 you go hey, we just had a healthy debate with drama. 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:08.760 It's Snooped the most famous rapper in the world.

I said, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:16.800 it was between you a whole. He said, you are 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.959 the biggest brand. I don't know, it's kind of it's 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.679 like an out of body experience for me. It's hard 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.600 for me to say because I live with me every day, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.160 so I don't know who the you know, the biggest 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.079 rapper is globally, but I do know that when I 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.160 do go certain places, like it's hard to try to 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.439 like camouflage, the scott whatever, even baby girl up the 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.000 front desk. I just gave her another picture. What's her name? 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.240 A little something? When's the last time you've been somewhere 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.679 and haven't been recognized? Has that happened? See, it doesn't 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.880 happen on some real talk. I'm being honest with you. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.880 I don't even remember the last time it's been like that. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:12:00.559 I'd have been the grocery stores, churches underwater, but I 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.360 didn't even look this. It's a crazy it's the crazy part. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.640 I didn't been and done some you know, homeless work 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.160 where you go down their feet, the homeless, and the 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.160 homeless be like snoop dog, what's happening? Dog? Like? Man, 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.679 how do you know me? You ain't got no TV, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.200 you ain't gonna what. I don't know. I can't figure 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.760 it out. And you just have adjusted to this social 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.640 media era so well, like it's a famous meme, but 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.719 it got you with your head scoff on. I look 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.280 like somebody unto man, I don't care though one thing 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.199 about believe you posted. You don't when people make fun 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.679 of me, when they claim me and when they put 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.439 me in a girl body with my head on it 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.959 or with a rabbit. So I see it, I throw 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:37.439 it up and I like, who did this to me? 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:38.960 And I go right in a joke. So I don't 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.880 understand when people get offended when I do that to them. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.640 When I do it to myself, it's like, it's all 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.400 funny games, and it's funny. It should want it should 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.000 be about. You know, when I got into the social 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.360 media game, I don't really understand it because I was like, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.079 I don't really want people in my business like that, 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:53.840 because I was like, damn, I'm the type of person 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.360 that always go up to the fans and always do 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.400 this anyway, So I might as well just open up 0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.800 and you know, let them be a part of my 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.679 world every day. Now, we've seen a video of you 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.880 and Game walking to the precinct in La. What was 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.000 that all about? Explaining that? Why why did you guys 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.720 have to felt like you had to do it? Well, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.839 the morning before it happened, Game, it hit me and 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.240 he was like on a hundred and he was hot 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.480 and I was hot. We was just mad at all 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.040 of the violence that was happening to these innocent people 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.360 by the police. So you know, I was ready to 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.920 do whatever. So I was basically following his league because 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.839 I felt like it's a young man's game and he's 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:26.360 younger than me, and he's gonna take the league. I'm 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.240 gonna follow this soldier. When he hit me back, I 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.040 told him, I said, look, I don't want you to overreact. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.800 I want you to think about everything that you're gonna 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.240 do and put a real plan together and hit me 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:37.880 when you get your plan together, and I'm with you. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.200 So then he went and made a call to ferra 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.959 Con for three hours and did all the things he 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.000 had to do to prepare himself. Then he hit me 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.560 back at about three in the morning, was like, meet 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.520 me here at five in the morning. He didn't say 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.520 nothing else. So I'm like, I don't know what's going on. 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.280 So I got dressed to go to war. You look 0:13:54.320 --> 0:14:02.480 like he was ready to think about this. When you 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.640 get the back call, Charlotte, man, you just show up. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.960 He's just someone. When we be putting my shoes off 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.840 to I'm gonna hold on, I'll be there. I was there, 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.000 so when I get there, I'm fully loaded and ready 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.560 to go, and I'm looking around they passing our shirts 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:15.920 and everybody on piece and he got us all in 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.839 the circle, and he said, he said something that was 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.040 so deep. It's like, you know, I didn't even know 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.760 what I was gonna do when I came here, But 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.800 now and I'm looking at the spirit of everything. This 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.280 is what I want to do, and I want y'all 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.360 to follow me on this. I want us to walk 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.120 down to the precinct, to the precinct and reintroduce ourselves 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.960 to the police department and let them reach reintroduce themselves 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.160 to us so we can get some sort of dialogue going. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.160 And we listened to him and was like, man, that 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.120 is that's kind of dope because we never talked to 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.760 the police unless it's too late. Let's get that understanding 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.680 right now. So while we're walking down there, police escort 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.160 us there. Then when we get there, come to find 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.880 out the new recruise a graduating right now about to 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.720 go hit the streets, and the matter of twenty four 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.000 hours and we standing outside and the Chief of Police 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.280 is there and the marriage there. So they hear that 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.840 we outside marching peacefully with the Nation of Islam orders. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.040 So they send the word that the chief would love 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.840 to meet with me game and two other of our 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.840 people with the mayor behind closed doors. So we went 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.480 up there and talk when of them chopped it up, 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.520 got some understanding. Wasn't arguing, wasn't talking bad, wasn't you know, 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.880 down planning. We was trying to get some understanding and 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.760 some dialogue. They had a couple of meetings since then, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.680 and it's looking like it's gonna be a great situation 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.480 in LA with the police in the communities because were 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.200 second tired of talking after the fact when we could 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.120 talk before the fact. But it's been going on forever, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.320 especially in that later part time that police bobles with 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.520 the Rodney King take. But it's never been communication. And 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.000 one thing about LA. We have sheriffs and we have 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:46.000 police department. The Sheriff's department have minor incidents because they 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.000 are sent to the county jail for eighteen months as 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.760 a part of their training before they hit the streets. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.880 The lap D don't get no communication with the streets 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.880 until they hit the streets, so there's a miscommunication off 0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.680 the jump. If you're scared, you never dealt with nobody 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.640 from the hood. You don't know what he looked like. Hi. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.880 Now you already got a different perception on you. But 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.840 if you've been in the county gym, You've been around him. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:07.840 You know they laying go, they know you. It's a 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.440 different perspective when the sheriffs pull up. All the sheriffs 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.760 won't doping guns. If you ain't gotten on dope and 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.600 no guns, they're letting you go. They're not gonna shoot 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.440 you when they don't shoot you that much. When they're 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.880 not gonna shoot you. On GPR, the LAPD, they got 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:21.560 a different agenda. So we were trying to get that 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.360 understanding on let's get some different protocols so they could 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.400 be around these people in the community before they start 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.640 policing this community. All right, we got moreen stoop when 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.640 we come back. Snoop's in the building. The breakfast club 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.480 that was Drake with Controller Morning, Everybody's DJ M v 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.920 Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.800 Snoop Dog is in the building. Did you learn how 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.200 to de escalating stuff? Like? Probably during Like do you 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.200 wish you had that same mentality during the whole East 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.560 Coast West Coast fiasco? I think I did. At the 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.920 Source Award that was a perfect example of de escalation 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.720 because Suge Knight had an escal too. I've seen people 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.320 reaching for pistols and I've seen pistols in There was 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.080 no police security. It was all hood security. It was 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.720 New York versus Death Row Records at that point, and 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.960 my conversation on that stage brought New York to a 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.560 point to what they said, you know what, We're gonna 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.440 let y'all get out of here. To us, that looked 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.159 hostile when it was very hostile because it was me 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.520 saying that I know where I'm at. But at the 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.240 same time, y'all know this is a gangster rap that 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.520 we do. We don't just talk it, we live it. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.760 So if you're really really in the mix, this is 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.920 what takes place in the mix. And at that time, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.640 Puffy wasn't with it like that. He was making his music. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.200 He wasn't what the you know, I ain't with the 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.680 raw rock. I'm with the music. Should was with the 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.879 raw rock. And it's like, you know, it was a 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.720 fine line because Puffy and then was my friends, but 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.840 I'm riding with Death Row and at the same time 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.480 I'm in New York's was like, if I don't say 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.480 the right words, we all gonna get killed. Damn. So 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.719 I come back and kick the buildings over because something happened, 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.879 because something that I ain't gonna speak on that. We 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.960 took that on the chin and said we'd just getting 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.639 back on this side, you know what I'm saying. Like, 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.240 when you involved into the art of war, certain losses 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.959 you take, certain you know, sacrifices you make. It come 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.879 with the territory. And we knew where it came from. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.919
