You know, you want to get 0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:21.320 to seem like you were too smart, because if you 0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.480 if you're too smart, it's like you don't fit in. 0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:24.359 You know what I'm saying. 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:28.960 You the fucking you, the hodball, you, the eyeball, the 0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:34.120 smart dumby myself down on they level so that they 0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:37.000 could so that they could understand and accept me at 0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:38.560 the same time this real business. 0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:43.240 I did that. But I mean there and that's. 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:48.320 That's crazy to say, because I think you know, like 0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:51.439 I said, my mom's wasn't a dope thing. 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:53.239 She worked every day. 0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:56.960 My father worked in a General Motors plant for fucking 0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:02.360 thirty years.

You said he chose. 0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:25.400 And that's why a lot of people don't get to 0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:26.640 be thinking, oh man, you. 0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:29.279 Know that happens, but that's rare. 0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:30.359 They don't. 0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:30.960 You don't. 0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:32.920 You don't even want nobody around you that you're pushing 0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:35.880 into nothing. Really, especially back in our day. You gotta 0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.440 be you gotta be fuddies like you gotta be with this. 0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:40.120 You can't be. 0:43:41.840 --> 0:43:45.040 Like, what's what's what's what's that.

We finn to go ride on 0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:12.040 these niggas, and then the niggas sitting there, and he 0:44:12.200 --> 0:44:16.040 get to contemplating because first of all, I was raised 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:17.080 by good parents. 0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:21.400 I was shown the right way. Both moms and pops worked. 0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:25.879 Okay, we wasn't fortunate enough to live in the better 0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:29.440 side of town because basically that's what a lot of 0:44:30.239 --> 0:44:34.040 black people had to go through, you know, moving moving 0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:36.840 from where, you know, moving from the south and trying 0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:38.600 to go or relocate or whatever. 0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:43.319 You still had to live like middle class for something. 0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:43.880 You get me. 0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:48.360 And our middle class was moving the place like content 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:51.360 because you wasn't living in the fucking projects or some 0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:55.920 shit like that. But still you going to school or 0:44:56.080 --> 0:44:59.560 your block is infested with you know, the homies. 0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:04.760 Those are your friends, and like you said, they're they're. 0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:08.800 They're probably not as fortunate as you are. You get me. 0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:10.439 I got a bite. 0:45:10.800 --> 0:45:14.000 I got a bite for Christmas, I got toys. Some 0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:17.440 of my friends didn't get that as kids, but we 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:21.080 still hung out every day. You get me, and those 0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:24.640 are the friends who you know, turn to the wicked 0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:29.200 evil side and like you said, do you know, cause, man, 0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:31.960 it's wrong to jack a nigga or stick a nigga up, 0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:34.560 or it's wrong to do that, but you still like 0:45:35.040 --> 0:45:36.440 ship these the niggas I'm with. 0:45:36.719 --> 0:45:39.880 This is my this is where I'm from. So fuck it, 0:45:40.200 --> 0:45:43.480 I'm gonna be from the hood. I'm not gonna be. 0:45:43.719 --> 0:45:49.400 No fucking positive ass role model, ass motherfucker. I'm goin 0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:51.880 to get me a sack of strap and I'm finna 0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:53.640 get the end of the block with the rest of 0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:54.280 the homies. 0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:55.200 You get me. 0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:57.759 Yeah, so the. 0:45:59.880 --> 0:46:02.640 There is again you know those like you said, that's 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:04.839 the choice that we that we made. 0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:08.000 Just like you. Still you came out here, you know, 0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:11.600 to play football. Niggas was like, nigga, you be from 0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:16.120 the hood, nigga, fucking you serving with us, you walking 0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:19.520 around with us, You gotta heat with us, So why 0:46:19.719 --> 0:46:22.440 not just be from the hood. But you made the 0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:24.680 choice to go. Now, I'm not gonna do that shit. 0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:28.960 Y'all still cool with me, y'all the homes and shit, 0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:33.480 but I'm gonna make the choice. Because you know, you 0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:34.239 came you. 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:38.680 You was fortunate that when you came from Cleveland, you 0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:41.680 didn't have to deal with the young pressures of niggas 0:46:41.760 --> 0:46:45.400 pressuring you or you feeling like you had to do 0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:48.759 that type of shit. You was already sent. You was 0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:52.279 already sent. You give me, y'all already said. Because I 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:55.000 came out here at seventeen. I think it's seventeen. 0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:58.840 I believe the father moved out here at twelve or 0:46:58.880 --> 0:46:59.880 eleven or something like that. 0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:03.640 It probably have been different. But all I saw, man, 0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:05.480 when I came out here, I saw. 0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:08.239 The repercussions of certain stuff because at the time I 0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:11.360 came out here ate it was really active. It was 0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:14.480 a lot different than the deals. Now, people wasn't playing. 0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.200 It was repercussions. If you put your hands on somebody, 0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:20.600 it was a repercussion. If you stood on somebody blocked 0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:22.399 that wasn't yours and you was taking some money out 0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:24.440 of their pocket, they was gonna come and air it out. 0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:27.520 So it was certain repercussions, and I said, man, I'm 0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:30.520 not really trying to fool with this. And I wanted 0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:32.919 to say the biggest thing I see with these dudes, 0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:36.839 especially the dudes that I guess that you would call 0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:40.319 the gunners, A lot of those guys suffered from unresolved 0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:44.520 trauma like that mentioned earlier. They might have had to 0:47:44.600 --> 0:47:47.719 step down. That was touching on.

Man. 0:50:49.440 --> 0:50:51.880 And one of the biggest debates I always had with 0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:54.560 people is because your style is really rich. 0:50:54.640 --> 0:51:00.360 No, who is your influence man? Who is your info? Ones? 0:51:02.080 --> 0:51:06.800 Man? Really be honest with you. Who I used to 0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:15.560 listen to was like like NWA scyt face, too short, MCA. 0:51:16.680 --> 0:51:19.360 Like dad and I, you know what I'm saying, and 0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:21.680 I and I and I really listened to like ghetto 0:51:21.880 --> 0:51:26.120 boys and and Willie D. But far as the style, 0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:31.120 you know, Like I came up out of Memphis right 0:51:31.200 --> 0:51:33.359 after a ball mj G. So I used to listen 0:51:33.400 --> 0:51:35.400 to a ball and I'm like and I used to 0:51:35.480 --> 0:51:37.880 be like, I ain't balling them a super hard, you know. 0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:39.640 And my brother, Juicy J. 0:51:39.840 --> 0:51:42.239 My brother, he used to always like tell me, like, man, 0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:46.440 you gotta come with like a different style. So I 0:51:46.640 --> 0:51:50.080 just sat back and I just would just come up 0:51:50.200 --> 0:51:52.520 with stuff I would just because like I grew up 0:51:52.560 --> 0:51:55.880 around dudes who was like always talking slick, you know 0:51:55.880 --> 0:51:59.400 what I'm saying, Like like uh, you know, like Pimpson, 0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:02.400 you know, little slick dudes. There was around pimps, and 0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:04.319 they used to be like, you know, pimp player, baby layer. 0:52:04.560 --> 0:52:07.880 You know what I'm saying, you know, uh, you know 0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:10.240 stuff like that. So I would take what I heard 0:52:10.520 --> 0:52:12.520 and I would just say, oh and I make it 0:52:12.600 --> 0:52:15.560 a style. Like I say, like I hear something and 0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:17.600 I make it a style and then I got so 0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:19.759 I really got so good at it that man. I 0:52:19.920 --> 0:52:22.719 used to listen to a lot of Tupac, a lot 0:52:22.760 --> 0:52:25.759 of Tupac, like when Tupac had them underground tape, some 0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:29.120 underground CDs, and I used to go to LA and 0:52:29.200 --> 0:52:31.839 when I they was only like mainly sold in LA 0:52:32.280 --> 0:52:34.680 because they wasn't in Memphis or they wasn't another places 0:52:34.680 --> 0:52:36.239 where I used to go. So when I used to 0:52:36.280 --> 0:52:38.279 be in l A, I used to always find a 0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:41.239 person on the street corner sending them CDs. And I 0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:43.320 used to buy every I used to give me, give me, 0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:45.080 give me all the bottles you got, give me all 0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:46.600 of them. And I used to take that and I 0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:48.800 used to listen to them styles and I used to 0:52:48.880 --> 0:52:52.120 flip them around. So it's just like man, I just 0:52:52.520 --> 0:52:55.040 and I just came up with that style. And when 0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:58.600 I first did that, that little panto style I had, 0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:01.279 it was on this song don't called Wanna Bees with 0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:04.080 three Season Market and uh it was. 0:53:04.200 --> 0:53:06.480 I did it on Getty Green. I did it on 0:53:06.600 --> 0:53:07.200 Getty Green. 0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:10.359 And then it was this this song called Wanna Bees 0:53:10.440 --> 0:53:12.759 that they had out and when they when they Wanna 0:53:12.800 --> 0:53:15.480 Bees came in, I said the hook I had made 0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:18.080 the hook up and then I wrapped h I think 0:53:18.080 --> 0:53:19.759 I rapped last on there, and I just came with 0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:22.239 that be y'all play up like me. And I kept 0:53:22.480 --> 0:53:25.040 coming with that, and then like people was like really 0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:27.279 liking it when we was like at the shows, you 0:53:27.320 --> 0:53:29.560 could see that people would turn up when their style 0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:32.040 would come in. And so when I did it, I said, 0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:35.920 you know what, I said, I'm gone. I said, I'm 0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:38.839 gone and roll with that. So I just I said, 0:53:38.840 --> 0:53:41.080 I'm gonna make that like, uh, I'm gonna put that in. 0:53:41.360 --> 0:53:43.399 I don't want to put in everything, but I said, 0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:46.080 I'm gonna burn it up. But I said, and that's 0:53:46.120 --> 0:53:48.680 really probably the reason why one of the reasons why 0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:50.239 it's still standing to be because I. 0:53:50.280 --> 0:53:53.120 Ain't burn it up, like I ain't put it in everything. 0:53:53.560 --> 0:53:55.680 So then I had to start coming with all different 0:53:55.800 --> 0:53:58.919 kinds of styles like then one thing about like down 0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:02.719 South like but we used to hear like like down 0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:06.440 South at that time. Our our songs, we had to 0:54:06.600 --> 0:54:08.759 flow like you had to flow on the song. You 0:54:08.840 --> 0:54:11.279 had to stay with the beat and flow. So I 0:54:11.440 --> 0:54:12.080 used to have to like. 0:54:14.160 --> 0:54:16.440 To come in, come out, come in, come out like 0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:19.480 we had to do that, whereas like East Coast, they 0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:21.920 beach was like like hop and skipping, like. 0:54:23.440 --> 0:54:25.880 See we see to us, that was easy to us, 0:54:25.960 --> 0:54:28.719 that's easy. That's like that's too easy. So we we 0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:30.880 we so we had to make a float with it. 0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:38.399 So like everybody used to be like then I said, 0:54:43.400 --> 0:54:45.000 see that's how that's it. And see like when we 0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:47.440 do it, we just once we catch the flow, like. 0:54:47.480 --> 0:54:47.960 It ain't hard. 0:54:48.000 --> 0:54:49.279 You got here to be, once you're here to beat, 0:54:49.400 --> 0:54:51.480 you just jump in. We jump right into it and 0:54:51.600 --> 0:54:53.160 just get the flowing with it and then get to 0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:54.839 come in and like you know, partlem with they make 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:57.560 the beach like slow up, change up. Then we'll slow 0:54:57.640 --> 0:54:59.680 the rap, change the wrap around, flip you know what 0:54:59.680 --> 0:55:02.479 I'm saying, and still be talking about what we're talking about. 0:55:02.520 --> 0:55:04.440 I don't know, man, we just it's just a way 0:55:04.480 --> 0:55:07.759 we called on to it. But that's how like when 0:55:07.840 --> 0:55:10.840 I when I did it, I had said I'm not 0:55:10.960 --> 0:55:12.960 to come with like different styles because that's what my 0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:14.840 brother he he he gave me it. 0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:16.400 So I was just like, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. 0:55:16.440 --> 0:55:17.680 I'm about to come different. 0:55:17.480 --> 0:55:19.319 Because that's the only way you're gonna stand out if 0:55:19.320 --> 0:55:23.120 you're different, you know, and yeah, you gotta be different, 0:55:23.239 --> 0:55:25.719 like if you like I'm ain't, I ain't saying this 0:55:26.080 --> 0:55:29.400 like you know uh uh uh by m C eight. 0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:31.320 But like when I first heard mc A, m c 0:55:31.400 --> 0:55:33.920 A was totally different.
