But 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:27.920 then you know what I'm saying, Like, when I really 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.160 thought about it, I was like, yeah, but I mean, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:31.720 but this is what you're putting out there and you're 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.320 saying like, would you expect people to think you know 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.480 what I'm saying? But we we we did it like 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.160 we did it as a ways, just just expressing ourselves, 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.080 just talking about what we've been experienced in the past, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.960 whether it was like dumb, stupid, like you know what 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.000 I'm saying, Like we was young, like so we're experimenting 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.200 with things, man, like whether it be mal juanna, drinking, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.640 playing with the board. You know what I'm saying. It 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.560 was just like we did We did that kind of 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.240 stuff when we were jugging, Like, yeah, this experience is 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:06.600 ship you know, Luigi board experience. Yeah. Because of the 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.280 negativity that came with it, does it make you a 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.680 little bit more cognizant about things that you promote, you know, 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.719 like at least having more knowledge about it before you 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.680 start promoting something, Oh yeah, pushing a certain angle or whatever. Yeah, man, 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.040 most definitely, most definitely. You know, I do think a 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.880 lot about you. Don't like the content I put out now, 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.080 you know what I'm saying, But you know, like being 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.520 an artist, you know, like I always tell people, it's like, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.440 you know, um, being an artist, man, Like you go 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.359 through different emotions and that's how you express yourself. So 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.040 one day you can be feeling like, you know what 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.200 I'm saying, fun the world and you want to you 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.880 you you feel like being a gangster. You gotta gangster attitude, 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.360 you know, saying. One day you could feel like, you 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.560 know what I'm saying, you want to bring peace to 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.560 the world. It's just like living in this world, that's 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.520 what brings out those emotions or and I think that's 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.160 what make good artists, you know what I'm saying. But 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.360 I do, I do, like pay pay more attention, like 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.279 to the things I talked about now and trying to 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:07.000 make it more not necessarily everything positive, but just like 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.480 share some light on some things out here just going 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.320 on in the world now not and don't just be 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.400 rapping about me all the time or just be rapping 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.359 about you know who got the best style, and like 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.520 things like that, you gotta like get something back to 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.919 the people. And sometimes, you know, I'm saying, when you 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:26.760 talk about who got the best style, lazy seems to 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.920 be believe that Bone got the best style, and as 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.400 he should. I think that should believe that. Hey man, 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.800 nobody fucking with me period exactly. And I think that 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.400 you have to have a certain cockiness so to speak 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.200 about yourself to even be a rapper, and that make 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:50.000 people believe what you're saying. When he spoke about the 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.200 Meg saying that they were the best ever, we're the 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.400 best ever at all the groups and all hip hop 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.279 groups ever, We're the best. How did you feel about that? 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.960 Because it's lazy to take it personal. You're taking a 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.599 big time offense to it. Yeah you did, man, I didn't. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.120 I didn't really take it personal at all, because, like, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.040 just like you said, I feel like they still feel 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.680 like that. I mean, you're on top of the game. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.400 It's like, okay, y'all, y'all, y'all data targets now, so 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.000 it's like everybody is shooting that them, you know what 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.360 I'm saying. So it's like when you're at the top 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.160 of the game, that's just how it is, man like. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.080 And and you're supposed to you have that footing that 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.039 you're invincible. So you're gonna walk like that, you're gonna 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.159 talk like that. We did, you know what, we couldn't 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.719 could nobody tell me?

Man? 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.080 It was like, you know, like, oh man, it was like, 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.960 I mean, well, you know, I was I was. I 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.119 was raised at the real strict household. I was raised 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.280 as a Jehovah's witness, you know what I'm saying. So 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.480 it was like, you know, like my parents were strict. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.720 So everything I did, you know, saying when I got 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.080 up age, I would I snuck and done, you know 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.240 I'm saying. I was like, you know what I'm saying, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:58.800 Like when I went, when I when I hooked up 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.000 with my dudes, it was just like you know what 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.600 I'm saying, Yeah, I knew what they were saying. It 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.480 was just like I just wanted to You know how 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.240 it is when when somebody telling out to do something 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.160 when you're young, you just be like why, I want 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.200 to know what he's saying that don't do it, you 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.920 know saying. So that's exactly what I did, went onto 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.760 the world and experienced it for myself. You know what 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.840 I'm saying. So it was like in the music scene 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.160 in Cleveland, it wasn't that, it wasn't that big at all. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.120 Like we had we had to get out and it 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.520 wasn't no when the end and that what none of that. 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.120 Like we had to get out and look for talent 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.680 shows and we had to keep an ear to the 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.079 radio station and like just like look at like like 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.800 look for flyers because the music scene was just like this, 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.920 you know what I'm saying, Like in it was just 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.120 hard life for anybody to hear us. And we man, 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:44.319 we just entered every talent show and showcasing you could 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.719 think of. Man that like, we went so far in 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.960 Cleveland to the point we couldn't go no further. Like 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.720 we we became very known in Cleveland and we dropped 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.280 up local albums called Faces of Death. We became very 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.680 known from that project. And it was like we we 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.800 understood that. You know, I'm saying, like now it's time 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.480 for us to leave because like we started getting in 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.439 all kind of trouble. I went to prison, you know 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:06.920 what I'm saying, And we was like, Yo, we don't 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.200 leave here now and do something with this music. It's 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.439 never gonna happen. So when I came home, we was like, yeah, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.880 we gotta we gotta get the hell out of Cleveland, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.559 like for real, and we had to go to California. 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.360 Where was your furry into hip hop in the first place? 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.040 Like when did you first decide that?

This man a 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.880 rapper style came from? Like I tell everybody's story. I've 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.440 even told the person to expanded. Big Daddy came. I 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.440 was in I was locked up in the county jail 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.240 and I was, um, I was sitting in there. I 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.719 was sitting in the day room watching Uh. We just 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.719 watched a rap city, like the basement rap city, and 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.480 a big Daddy came soon came on and like he 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.040 had this one line to where he was like then 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.360 he stopped and never did it again. And I was 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.240 I sat there like, yo, if somebody wrote around like 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.679 that just went all the way through and just didn't stop. 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.880 That she had been cold. So I went back to 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.640 my sale and I wrote around like that. I memorized 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.160 that ship. Now. Um, when I got out, I said 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.079 it till the rest of the group and it was like, yo, 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.120 that's it is crazy. And so they all took that 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.040 and they all went off and wrote their own little 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.520 ship and it was the same way. It was different 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.560 And that same rap that I wrote it in in 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.439 prison is the one I said for easy on the phone. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.120 That actually got us to deal. You know what I'm saying. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.719 It was crazy like that that one around my room. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.760 I sat there and was like, yeah, I'm to write 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.960 a whole rhyme like that, like from a big Daddy 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.880 kin line. Do you remember the line? No? No, no, 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.920 I don't even remember the line, bro like, but I 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.520 know I heard him like it was. It was on 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.960 his life, Um I think it was on his third album. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.880 I think it was, yeah, his third album. Leg don't 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:49.760 remember the line though, It's crazy. What else do you do? Fast? Man? 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:54.520 Uh man? A lot of things. I moved around fast. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.040 I moved like you know what I'm saying. I hate 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.559 waiting on people. I just moved. I'll let to take 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.120 my time when a lot of things. Yeah, you don't 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.719 like the rush, like you know what I'm saying, Like 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.840 a lot of things make a lot of mistakes, moving 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:17.880 too fast for real. I want to talk about the group, Yeah, 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.680 I want to talk about the chemistry of the group, 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.160 because you're saying like they all wrote their own versus 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.560 in a different way, and that's true. Like each of 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.880 you guys have your own particular style. You know, you 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.760 got wish, got this thing, you got busy got this thing, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.400 he's got this thing. You flesh got his thing, you 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:42.240 got your thing, and it just meshes. Was that any 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.120 point when you guys were making music where you had 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.640 when somebody wasn't getting it and you said, oh man, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.240 we gotta do it like this or was it just 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.040 a natural yeah fit from day one? Yeah, but it 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.480 was a natural cause because because we were together like 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.280 so much, like we was like at some point of time, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.040 we all lived with each other, you know what I'm saying. Like, 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.319 so like at some point they all live with at 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.319 my mama house. We all lived at lay mama house, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.320 you know what I'm saying. Like, so we was always 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.040 together all the time. So whenever we like, we we 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.680 wrote our rhymes together, like we did everything together. It 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.760 was crime or making music, We've done everything together, and 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.040 it was like just us and like so when we 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.959 were like used to write our lyrics, we used to 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.040 write together, and like so we would know, like the 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.360 other person's verse from the jump. So when we would 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.959 add live the person's verse by one person was rapping 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.520 the other foot with that live it was sounding like 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.280 he was harmonizing, and like we didn't notice it, but 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.839 people started telling I was like, yo, y'all, y'all sound 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.920 like the rapping Temptations or something shing you don't like, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.200 And and people in the who started telling us this, 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:46.920 they was like, y'all broken me, And there's the first 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.280 person to hear y'all it's a rap, you know what 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.440 I'm saying. And then like we we started realizing and 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.880 then like we started doing it more like I started 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.680 like doing the singing and like putting the singing with it, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.719 and it's just like but it but it, But it 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.800 gradually phoned over time because first we just wanted to 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.600 be those dudes. It's just constantly like flow, like no 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.120 breaks in between, just keep flowing. And then like when 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.080 we when that, when we added the like the like 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.600 the like the the double time flow is just like 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.160 elevated and just like it just all came together just 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.080 out of just just just naturally, like you said, yeah, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:24.840 for sure, y'all had collaborations with Twister, right, Yeah, yeah, 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:26.880 y'all have done collapse with Twister?

It's madness, man, Like where do 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:10.919 people I've seen some woman killed her sons, shot him twice, 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.600 like shot him once he was he had she she 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.639 she said that he stole some type of like a 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.920 tracking device or something like that out of her car 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:26.560 something and she put a gun on him and shot 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.720 him I think in the leg or something on. So 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.679 the boy was crying and stuff like that. So she 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:36.080 continued to shake him down, like she was drilling him, 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.040 like where is it? He wouldn't tell her, And I 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:40.400 guess I don't know if he didn't tell her because 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.520 he was just with older information. He just didn't know. 0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.960 And she shot him in the head. What her own child? 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.359 And then I covered the sturdy the other day with 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.080 this dude shot his mama, killed his mama. They was 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:59.360 arguing and he killed his mama. I'm like, I just 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.560 don't remember ever being that mad at my mama where 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:09.920 I wanted to shoot her. No. Ever, that's crazy, man, Ever, 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:23.360 like forever. So you grew up in a religious household, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.200 you get up as a Jehovah Witness, right, man, how 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:32.440 do you go from Jehovah witness to being in the 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.840 one of the most I guess I was about to 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:40.159 say notorious, but yeah, really is not notorious, you know, 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.040 but but you but you are, but you are street 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:51.199 and you are uh well known popular group, and we 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:57.359 know Jehovah Witnesses don't believe in that popular stuff. Yeah, definitely, 0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.600 So how do you go from Jehovah Witness? I mean, 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:04.199 I mean, that's just what I um, That's just what 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.080 I um. We're saying about you know what I'm saying, 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.920 like me just rebelling and just wanted to go see 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.320 things for myself. You know, you know what I'm saying. 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.320 Like now, it's it's what I think. I didn't see 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.040 it in the world to where I but oh yeah, 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.800 I'll see exactly what they were saying. It's true. It's 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.960 all of everything that I was told about the world 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.320 and how it acts and interacts. It's true. It's a 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:30.720 cold world doesn't care about you. I don't think the 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.520 world loves you. All that is true, you know what 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.440 I'm saying. So it was like, um, but being young 0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:39.920 and hardheaded, you wouldn't figure those things out on your own, 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:42.480 you know what I'm saying it. And like I said, 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.120 you want to hit doing brick walls on your own. 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:48.680 That's why I say how I had I really liked 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:54.000 dug into that knowledge that that that was being fair 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.440 to me because back then, you know, like me being 0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:01.440 uh Joe's witness, I was young and you know, the 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.879 the information was only reaching the surface. I wouldn't like 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:06.680 really sitting there, you know, you know I would. I 0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:08.720 wouldn't be at the I would be in the Bible 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.840 Service meeting it's like just looking at the clock saying 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:14.760 how long? How long? Is this gonna tell you what 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:17.480 I'm saying. But when I got older and started like 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:20.240 going back and like reading up and seeing I was like, yeah, 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.000 it's it's it's really very very logical, you know what 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.840 I'm saying. So it was like and like I said, 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:27.919 a lot of what they were saying was true. So 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.000 it was just like I just thought to like look 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.560 at things like in a different light, you know I'm saying, like, 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.280 look at them things in a different light. And just 0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.600 grew up mentally, man Like just trying to grow up 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.719 like mentally and just like look at things different. So 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:47.840 where what's your relationship now with Jehovah Witness? Well, right now, 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.080 I'm not I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. I'm not bopatized, 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.119 but I still, you know what I'm saying, I still study, 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:56.680 I still study with them, but you know what I'm saying, 0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.280 like and um man, just trying to you know, just 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.800 trying to gain this much knowledge as I can and 0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:04.720 compared to what's going on in the world, you know 0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:07.399 what I'm saying, And just that's just how I'm comparing it. 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.280 Like seeing what's real and what ain't real? For real, 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:18.320 I should ask this question, but what is Jehovah? Like? What? What? What? Uh? What? 0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:23.320 Just the meeting of Jehovah's witness with Jehovah. Jehovah is 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:25.720 actually if you go go back and do the research, 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:30.800 it's actually the name of God. Everybody like thinks that 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.119 God is God's actual name, but it's not. It's just 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.879 a title. God actually has a name, and God says that, like, 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:38.919 in order to really know him, we have to know 0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.159 his name. And his name is Jehovah. And like his 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.280 name I used to actually be on the money back 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.080 in ancient times, but they removed it. They removed his 0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:49.879 name from the Bible, like his name was in the 0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:52.960 Bible over seven thousand times, but they removed his name 0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.280 and they replaced his name with titles like Lord and 0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:58.720 God and Almighty and stuff like that. So they tried 0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:02.000 to how they identity of who God really is. So 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.760 that's what your witnesses are. But Muslims say that his 0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.399 name is a lie. But if you look at the 0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.720 if you look at the if you look at the 0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.159 the definition for a lot of the translation for a 0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:20.480 lie translate God. Yeah, that's not it. It ain't. That's 0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:23.800 a title. A lie is a title. It's not a 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.480 personal name, just like a king or you know, a 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:33.360 king or president. Those are titles. So let's say I'm 0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.840 a Christian, Well, let's say I'm a man of God, 0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.520 and uh, I just don't believe in this Jehovah thing. 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.919 But I believe in God, I just don't. I have 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.399 a difference in opinion on what exactly his name is. 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:52.000 Can I get to Heaven? Yeah? What? What the what 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:56.040 the thing is? Like? Joe's just don't like you don't 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.440 like tell people, don't They don't try to persuade people 0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:00.919 like what they should or shouldn't be, or tell you 0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:03.720 that you're not going to heaven and hell. Jehovah's witnesses 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:09.199 don't even have the it's crazy, it's not crazy. But 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.360 they have the belief that only a hundred and forty 0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:15.960 or four thousand chosen people are going to heaven and 0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:19.000 the rest of the people ares are supposed who God 0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:22.600 chooses is supposed to remain on Earth forever in a 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.040 different situation though not like we see the earth now, 0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:29.560 but like in different circumstances because God's original purpose when 0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:33.399 he created us was the man to live forever on earth. 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.720 The only reason that was messed up is because what 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:39.280 the devil done and like the monkey wrench he threw 0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.119 in the game. So but it says that God's are 0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:45.600 really no purpose has never changed. He still wants humans 0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:49.320 to live forever on Earth and turn it into a 0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:52.359 paradise eventually. And he said that that's going to happen. 0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.879 So if only a hundred and forty four thousand people 0:27:56.920 --> 0:28:03.080 can make it into heaven, how many do you think 0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.760 of that right now? Wherever that haveing? Is? How many? 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:09.000 How many people? What? What are the Jehovah Witness is 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.600 saying the county is right no, no, no, well was 0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:13.600 for angels, like you don't said, God says, it's just 0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:17.240 just mirriads and myriads of angels. That's billions and bigger 0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:20.720 love angels. But um, as far as the husband and 0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:22.800 forty four thousand, like, we have no clue as to 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.520 how many have what the county is died and when 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:27.920 you don't saying like you don't know if it's one 0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.879 a hundred and forty three thousand, nine hundred nine and 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.600 nine thousands. But but but they basically go by what 0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:37.080 the scriptures said. The scriptures say that it was a 0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.320 hundred forty four thousand, So that's the number that you 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:43.080 don't say. That's the number they're good with pretty much. 0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:48.520 So all you people out that is trying to make 0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:50.440 it here, and I'm gonna let y'all know right now, 0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:53.440 ain't enoughing room for all to y'all. I don't care 0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:55.959 what y'all got going on. I don't care how faithful 0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.520 you've been. Some of y'all ain't gonna make it. But see, 0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.880 this is the thing though, like se conceived that people 0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:04.920 people lack the understanding of what God's original purpose would 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:08.800 God's original purpose was for people to live forever on earth. 0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:11.880 You don't want to live forever on earth. They want 0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:15.040 to dying over to heaven. But but like if if 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.640 if if they but see they you have to understand 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:19.880 what the conditions on earth would be. It's not going 0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:23.000 to be like we see it, like like God made 0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.520 us like like like when he made this, we were 0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:29.080 never supposed to grow old, to die, gets sick. None 0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:31.640 of this was supposed to happen. We're supposed to live 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:37.560 eternally forever like and what messed it up again when 0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:44.640 when Adam and Eve chose to they chose to be disobedient, 0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:48.520 be disobedient, but they were influenced by the devil, and 0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.000 God told them, like you know what, saying like like, 0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:54.760 y'all can have ever lasting life all this if you 0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.880 don't just just don't eat from this trick. So the 0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:03.160 reason why is because they willingly chose. They willingly chose 0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.800 to just a big God. The devil influenced them, but 0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:08.240 he didn't make them. He didn't make him like he 0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.479 influenced them, and they thought he told them that they 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:13.040 would be like God, and they believed it, and they 0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:16.440 ate the fruit and they do. It's kind of like 0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:20.880 what's happening right now in society. A lot of evil, 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:24.880 wicked people at the top who are sending orders down 0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:27.400 and saying, this is how y'all need to behave, this 0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:30.600 is what you need to support, this is what you 0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:33.320 need to be doing, and if you don't do it, 0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:37.760 then I'm gonna wreak havoc on you. It's gonna be 0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.000 bad for you if you don't jump on board. You 0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:43.000 must think the way we want you to think. And 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:45.280 if you don't do that then we're gonna do this 0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:48.640 to you. And a lot of people seem to be 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:56.280 so afraid of the boogeyman that they'll compromise whatever morals 0:30:56.520 --> 0:31:02.640 they do have so that they they're not exiled, you know, 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:07.320 so that they're not ostracized. Yeah, it's hard. Why do 0:31:07.400 --> 0:31:09.360 you think it's so hard for people to stand for 0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.120 something like they say? Okay, I see a lot of 0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:16.080 people changing their their views and their morals based on 0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:19.560 society or norms, whatever society says, that's what we're doing now. 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:21.880 Then they just switched. No matter what they thought or 0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.200 how they felt. It didn't happen internally for them. It's 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:29.000 just something that they saw that they heard they tuck 0:31:29.120 --> 0:31:32.080 in from Because man, that that goes to show that 0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:38.600 people need a leader. God created us, like God created 0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:42.840 us to depend on him. But we're depending on humans 0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:46.080 and that ain't working. It ain't never worked. We keep 0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:50.160 listening to what they say. Humans have lied to us 0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:52.680 over and over again. God has not lied to us 0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:57.840 one time. Everything that he said, what's going to happen 0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:00.479 and it comes true has happened. And and choose there 0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:04.040 is evidence. I guarantee you the things in the Bible 0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:08.800 can be proven. I guarantee you. And like we constantly 0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:12.720 give man these chances over and over again, they constantly 0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.480 slap us in the face, constantly go down to these 0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.720 pose and you vote over and over again for these 0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.880 empty promises. I don't care who it is. If they're humans, 0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:27.280 they cannot that. They cannot change what's going in on. 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.440 Man is in over their end, over their heads, is 0:32:31.480 --> 0:32:34.280 already beyond them. What's going on in the world now. 0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:37.800 They cannot reverse what's going on right now. The only 0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:42.600 person that's going to change this is God. That's bottom line. 0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:47.560 Like and and people need, people need a leader. But 0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:51.840 they're following the wrong They they they they following man, 0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:53.600 which is the wrong leader. Like you know what I'm saying, 0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:57.080 because man don't even know how to lead itself. They can't. 0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.840 Like these these people that's leading us, the people in 0:32:59.880 --> 0:33:03.640 the White House, they they still be so busy arguing 0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:06.440 amongst themselves and they ain't got time to tend to us. 0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:10.160 They arguing about power, what we need. That they don't 0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.040 give a damn about what we need because they they're 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:16.520 focuses on who's going to keep the power. That's all 0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.320 they care about. And in the meantime, all the people suffer, 0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.520 but they keep playing this game with us, going and 0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:24.040 vote for this one. He got your back, No, we don't, 0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:26.959 And it ain't that. Some of these people ain't got 0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.520 your back when they give vote, it ain't nothing they 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:32.560 can do because when they get in, you get all 0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:34.880 these other people over here fighting against what they want 0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:38.080 to do, and it never gets done. So we played 0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.800 this cycle. This cycle goes on and on and on, bro, 0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:44.760 and people keep voting for the same cycle instead of like, Okay, 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:46.920 look I'm gonna just wait for God. I'm not you 0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.520 know what I'm saying, like I don't see what y'all 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:51.680 going to do. Like I don't see what y'all can do. 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:55.480 It's nothing since the beginning, since man has rude over man, 0:33:55.920 --> 0:34:00.120 it has been nothing period. It ain't nothing they can do. 0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:04.520 Man said a mouthful with that one exactly. There's nothing 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:09.920 they can do. So do you vote? No, not even locally. No, 0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:15.200 don't vote, don't get involved with politics, don't because there's 0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:18.680 nothing they can do. It's it's it's like I heard 0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:22.920 people saying, you know, um not where it ain't no 0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:27.400 good candidates, So I just picked my poison. So so 0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:29.600 so so you mean to tell me like this, this, this, 0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.080 this kind of stuff is life change, and like it's 0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:36.160 like that's that's you wouldn't go to purchase a house 0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:39.279 and they had two options that you didn't like, you 0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.360 would wait till you found the option that you like. 0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:46.000 Like God, God has already given us that option. We 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:49.960 just overlook it, the option that's been there. These people 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.839 that pose up here, man, all they do is lie 0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:58.640 to us. They know, they know they cannot help people 0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:02.680 the way they say care. So so hey we must 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:04.040 get in and get we can get out of it 0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:07.520 while we can everybody else's to do it. Yeah, I 0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.520 think on a local level, and I do vote, but 0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:14.640 I think especially on local, local, local levels. I think 0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:18.040 that if you want to see some media immediate change 0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:21.040 on a local level, uh, you can move the needle. 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:23.200 You can really move the needle on on a local 0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:31.200 level because local local politicians, Uh, you can walk right 0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:34.480 up to them when you have an issue and say, hey, 0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:37.719 I need this done. Moan won't. And that's not as 0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:41.960 much red tape to get things done. And so like 0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.759 I mean, I've seen I've actually seen it done. I've 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.000 seen it in the move many many times I've actually 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:51.520 been able to make make the phone call and say hey, uh, 0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:53.640 I need this one wump and then the next day 0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:57.920 it's done the same thing with with me giving advice 0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:01.719 to certain people who need that needle to move, who 0:36:01.800 --> 0:36:06.279 needs somebody in that position to make a decision, we 0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:10.200 can get those decisions made, I mean almost immediately, whereas 0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:14.120 on a national level, Uh, you know, these guys are 0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:19.319 pretty much running popularity contest, and they're just they're like 0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:22.879 the boss. They're like the boss of the business who 0:36:22.880 --> 0:36:25.520 comes in and just do a walk through. You don't 0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:28.400 really do any work. They say this, that, this could, 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:31.440 what's happening, what we did, how much money we need? Uh, 0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:33.480 we always do it like this. We do it like that, 0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:36.960 and then you know, uh, and then when things go bad, 0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:42.240 he just shows up as the face too get people 0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:45.719 inspired or whatever, to rally the base or whatever. But 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.560 other than that, he really does nothing. And to me, 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:54.200 I personally just believe that president's popularity contest, it's it's 0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:56.120 all about the guy who you can stand and look 0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:59.320 at and listen to for the next four day years 0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:02.279 because they all have they are there's an agenda, right, 0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:05.360 and they got to get in line with that agenda, 0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:07.520 and if they don't, they're gonna get their heads knocked off. 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:10.839 They ain't. None of them as cold as as we 0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:14.040 think they are, None of them is powerful as we 0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:17.000 think they are. Yes, they have some influence, they have 0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:23.120 major influence, but they're gonna get more out of their 0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:27.319 presidency for them then we are gonna get from them 0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:30.919 being president. They got That's why every time. That's why. 0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.960 You'll have somebody that's a billionaire who will run for 0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:36.880 president and put himself under all that scrutiny and have 0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:40.640 his light shine on his family and we get an 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:43.360 answer people and people talking about them, calling them names, 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.080 death threats and all that stuff. While with somebody who 0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:51.520 is a billionaire run for a position that only pays 0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:54.920 a half a million dollars and they're under all that 0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:59.720 scrutiny and they have people attacking them on a daily 0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:03.400 bay people want them dead. That's because they're going in 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:06.160 there for the bridge exactly. They want that money, but 0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:09.640 in the sacrifice that you know what they're doing it for, 0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:12.440 like for real, they go there, they're going in for 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:16.200 the bread man. Just like you said, it's crazy, yeah, no, no, no, 0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:19.040 And I get what you're saying, like on the local level, 0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:21.279 it is good, you know what I'm saying. It's good 0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:23.719 to have those outlines because of what you know, I 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:26.839 have a nonprofita organization cause spread the love that I'm 0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:30.799 trying to build a bone. Threesn't hard. Harmony academy like 0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.240 schools are like we're teaching like these these these junctions 0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:37.120 like skills of the industry and just like not only 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.319 like music industry skilled, but life skills this period. You 0:38:40.320 --> 0:38:42.480 know what I'm saying, It's just like so so I've 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:44.640 been like shaking hands with a lot of you know, 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:47.440 like counselman and like the merits and stuff like that. 0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:50.480 But the but, but but the thing is, I'm careful 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.960 not to become too indulge with it. You know, I 0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:56.279 understand that I have to go through these people, and 0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:57.920 I explain to people, you know what I'm saying, like 0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:01.360 I cannot. I've been asked several times times to endorse 0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:03.200 this one of that one, and I had to decline. 0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:05.520 But I was able to still keep the relationship with 0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:09.320 them because they're respectfully you know, they understood the angle 0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:11.200 I was coming from. You know what I'm saying, So 0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:12.719 so far it's worked for me, you know I'm saying, 0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:15.080 but I don't plan to like go out and vote 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:17.239 for anybody or like take any side. I'm going to 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:19.799 remain neutral, man, because it's just like I said, Like, 0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:25.120 it's like, um, I understand they're like at the end 0:39:25.160 --> 0:39:28.400 of the day, Like just like I was saying earlier, 0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:32.080 like God is the only one that can undo everything 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:39.040 that man has done. Like it's just like that's just 0:39:39.080 --> 0:39:40.880 what it is. I mean, that's just how it is. 0:39:40.920 --> 0:39:43.439 And I'll be willing to bet my life on it 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:55.399 that it's not gonna happen until he steps it. Let's 0:39:55.400 --> 0:40:02.040 talk about Easy, Yeah your mentor Easy was one of 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:05.920 the pioneers of hip hop. Yeah great, one of the 0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:09.359 greatest to ever do what he did, and in an 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:15.680 executive position, he he created two of the greatest groups 0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:22.640 of all times. Easy gave us in w A and Bones. 0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:26.719 Doesn't harmony in your group, dude. You guys saw that 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:30.640 out Easy specifically to sign to his label. Usually when 0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:33.080 somebody's trying to get on, they don't care who exactly, 0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:35.480 they just want to get on. But y'all saw it 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:40.239 out Easy Eat for why specifically why Easy Man? It 0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:43.239 was just like you know, because we was into um Man, 0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:45.680 we was into like the you know, I mean we 0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:48.799 we we We was raised off the East Coast hip hop. 0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:50.800 You know, we was raised off that. You know what 0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.439 I'm saying. Um that's where I love for it came from. 0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:57.560 But when when Easy and Easy and in w A 0:40:57.719 --> 0:41:02.280 came out on the West Coast, just like we related 0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:05.759 to them like more than we did with the East 0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:07.920 Coast because like we was living that lifestyle. We was 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:11.040 out there like hustling. We was like we were attracted 0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:14.880 to that lifestyle for some reason, way more than the 0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.840 East Coast. So that's what we started, you know, like 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:21.440 we we we we became big fans of n w 0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:24.440 A and Easy and we followed everything they did. And 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:27.680 when they went through the breakup and you know, Cube 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.600 left and then Dr Dre left and then Easy was 0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:32.560 looking like the underdog, we was like, yeah, we want 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:34.279 to go sign with the We want to go sign 0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:36.480 with the underdog. You know what I'm saying. Because everybody 0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:38.840 was like you know what I'm saying that everybody was 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:40.880 this and the East. So we're like, yo, man, Easy 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:44.040 needs somebody on his team. So yaas y'all was trying 0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:47.640 to get on ye rappers. But at the same time, 0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:50.880 y'all was down to put in some work for Easy. 0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:54.040 Oh yeah, bro for real, bro, like no, like Easy 0:41:54.120 --> 0:41:56.000 had to tell us like to chill out so many times, 0:41:56.040 --> 0:41:59.160 like yo, y'all, y'all just chill out. I don't want 0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.600 y'all involved when none of his beef stuff got a 0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:04.440 whole different playing for y'all, you know what I'm saying. Like, 0:42:04.480 --> 0:42:06.600 so he really kept us out of that. I mean, 0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:08.640 you know it was it was it was altercations. It 0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:11.759 was verbal altercations. We had you know what she read 0:42:11.800 --> 0:42:14.120 into this one of that one. You know what I'm saying, 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:16.439 You know what I'm saying. But nothing really like nothing 0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:19.279 really physical really ever jumped off, you know. I thank 0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:21.160 God because you know what I mean, Me and corrupt. 0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.000 We talked about this all the time, like how we 0:42:24.040 --> 0:42:25.600 really would have liked tried to take one of them, 0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:27.399 you know, like each other's head off at that time, 0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:28.680 like if someone would have jumped off, you know what 0:42:28.680 --> 0:42:31.040 I'm saying.

And it 0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:48.759 still tripped me out that he was so young when 0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.959 he died because he was so knowledgeable. He was so 0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:55.319 so hit a hit of his time, definitely, And so 0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:59.719 we don't really have a lot of personal moments Easy. 0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:03.960 Tell us something on a personal level of personal moment 0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:08.960 that you add with Easy that would probably like you know, 0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:14.640 just uh maybe surprised people or yeah, just something that 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:17.719 would that would uh you know, inspire people, or just 0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:20.320 something that you think that would be cool for people 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:23.239 to know about him.

For clarity, let's go back to 0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:51.640 this guy. I think he said he was an attorney, 0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:55.000 guy named Sneedy sneety or something like that, sneety Ron 0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:59.239 Ron Sweeney, Oh, Ron Sweeney.

Now you know what I'm saying, 0:51:09.360 --> 0:51:11.920 You're gonna be seeing a lot of me ruthless records. 0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:14.239 Is gonna be doing going in this direction and be 0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.200 like Nigga, who then is you? We we can't talk 0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:18.920 to you the whole time we've been here, Who is you? Like, 0:51:18.960 --> 0:51:20.960 we didn't even understand why you're the one that's giving 0:51:21.040 --> 0:51:24.000 us these checks, but we'll take them, I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, 0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:27.600 I know his phone calls after that, yeah yeah, yeah, 0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:29.080 but we we I mean, I mean we had to 0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:31.000 deal with him because we found out that this was 0:51:31.040 --> 0:51:33.080 you know, after you know, his wife took over the 0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:35.360 company to mecause this was her attorney for a while. 0:51:35.440 --> 0:51:37.080 So you know, we ended up having to deal with 0:51:37.160 --> 0:51:39.520 him for a while, you know what I'm saying, Which 0:51:39.560 --> 0:51:43.279 was really like those whole everything after that after the 0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:47.000 easy passed was was was very rocky with the label 0:51:47.800 --> 0:51:52.040 most of the time. Did you have personal conversations with 0:51:52.200 --> 0:51:55.279 Tamika there? Yeah, we did, but but you know, I 0:51:55.320 --> 0:51:59.320 think um may again about us being young not understanding 0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:02.040 the BIS and this we was just like very biased, 0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:05.560 just like who was this bitch? Like we're not about 0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:08.360 to listen to you, who is you? Like, no, like 0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:11.880 we we when feeling what's going on. So it's like 0:52:11.960 --> 0:52:15.160 that kind of took the relationship to where we rebelled 0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:19.080 and they was like okay, Sucky was saying, and it 0:52:19.200 --> 0:52:21.560 was just like that kind of relationship for a while 0:52:21.680 --> 0:52:23.480 until we had to come to terms with them and 0:52:24.120 --> 0:52:26.359 like just make the ship work to move forward. Right, 0:52:26.960 --> 0:52:32.400 So up until that moment, you really didn't know to 0:52:32.520 --> 0:52:35.600 because y'all hadn't met before. I mean we met it 0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:37.560 before because Easy had took us to his house, you know, 0:52:37.719 --> 0:52:43.799 like for barbecue, any business. No no, no, no, no, right, 0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:48.080 let's talk about this show you used to have on YouTube, 0:52:49.200 --> 0:52:54.839 Truth of Talks, right, So that was a conspiracy show, right, No, 0:52:55.520 --> 0:52:58.120 it wasn't a conspiracy. So so this is what I 0:52:58.200 --> 0:53:02.160 tell everybody. I started off going down this road of 0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:05.920 the conspiracy, like looking into these things and like you know, 0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:08.759 like I started talking about them. But as I did 0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:11.840 further research, man, you know what I'm saying, I started 0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:13.799 to see like that some of these things has never 0:53:13.840 --> 0:53:17.000 been proven, some of these things are just speculation. Some 0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:18.239 of this stuff, you know what I'm saying. Like, so 0:53:18.280 --> 0:53:23.040 I backtracked and like changed the the concept and the 0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:26.240 content of the whole show to where like I'm basing 0:53:26.280 --> 0:53:28.239 it off like pure facts and things that I know 0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:30.840 to be true and things that are happening. You know 0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:32.520 what I'm saying. I don't want to go off speculation 0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:35.480 and leave nobody down the wrong path.

I'm trying 0:57:40.320 --> 0:57:43.640 to get them to understand that sounding different is always 0:57:43.640 --> 0:57:47.280 doing no matter what everybody else is doing.
