13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: do to this to home of the exclusive I'm a

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: J or you can call me me. It was swine

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: m a s J. Mail was as J the Connected

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: Experience and what we're like, what we're about to do

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: on this and book live is we're about to do

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: our album breakdown with the Low Glasses of Milan for

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: his recently released project. So this project, it's not that's

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: not gonna be a review. That's going be a breakdown

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: because who are who was anybody to review? Somebody else's music, right,

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: because music is an art form and usually the artists

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: know what they're trying to get across and the consumer

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: don't even understand it. To the artist's long gone. So

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: to have our artist's on explaining what his art form

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: is based on, like real time is very rare, and

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: that's something that we like to do with the connected experience.

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: So we hooked up with this some bood dot com

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: with Big Steel, and he introduced us to Glasses Malone,

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: somebody we've been listening to and been uh she last

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: time we was in California, we was trying to get

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: up with you. Uh it was Mother's Day. Uh without

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: was two times ago, but it was Mother's Day. So

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: it has been in the Megan for at least two years, so,

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: but the album wasn't out there. So kind of get

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: into the album uh concept that you was trying to

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: get across, and then we're gonna have some songs that

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: stuck out to us, and then we just wanted to

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: break those songs down as we tell you what's steal

40
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: it out to us about this on and then you

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: can kind of uh tell us what you were feeling

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: at that time that you did the music. So this

43
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: particular project, um, and thanks for having me on though.

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: But this particular project right is uh it's called glass

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: House one UM. I released it initially in two thousand twelves. Um.

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: The concept of Glasshouse that was a name my homeboy

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: pat Dog Rest in Peace used to call me Um

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: when I used to kind of be on my tip.

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, whatever tip I was on,

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: he would call me that, like, yeah, glasshouse, you know

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like that means I was tripping normally,

52
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm the voice of reason with my homeboys and being

53
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: in this business for so long, and I spent a

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: lot of early years in my career, you know, I

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: got my deal in two thousand seven, and I spent

56
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: a lot of early years of my career just you know,

57
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: using the microphone as a therapy, you know what I'm saying,

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: talking to it and explaining all the trauma that like

59
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: we suffered from where I'm from. So Um, by the

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: time I got to Glasshouse around two thousand eleven and twelve,

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: I felt like I had, you know, exhale so much

62
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: like BS that I was ready to kind of start

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: having fun. And Um, Glasshouse is just this the actual

64
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: music is really just ego, you know, ego and pride.

65
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: It's all attitude. It's it's me and my most gang

66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: bangery moments. What I'm saying. As far as like the

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Bravido part of it, there's not a ton of that

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: in my music, but every now and then I'm able

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: to get it off. So Glasshouse represents that. So when

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I started working on it in two thousand and twelve, um,

71
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was dope, you know what I'm saying.

72
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: But at that time, I was kind of learning about records,

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: what records represent. Um, I was starting to learn what

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: hip hop really was, and I was starting to learn

75
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: about marketing. So I was able to make one record

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: make sense, you know, the conveyor attitude I wanted to convey,

77
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: to show everybody where I'm from and really the attitude

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, in this culture, and that good. But I

79
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: don't think I did a great job with the whole project.

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: So now that you know, streaming apps are totally dominant

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: and that's how most people are consuming all music, I

82
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: have to start moving past projects to streaming apps, and

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: um it gives me a chance to kind of now

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: eight years eight years, you know, eight years forward, you

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Moving into streaming apps from mixed

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: tapes and websites, I get a chance to kind of

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: convey the exact thing I wanted to convey with music

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: with that project, I wanted to bring you to California,

89
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: and eight years of research, I finally learned how you

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's what you're hearing in

91
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: this particular project. You you're getting to come to California,

92
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And whether you're in Michigan,

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: whether you're in New York, whether you in Florida, you know,

94
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: you get to come see what it's really like. And

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: that's what great hip hop is all about. Project record

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: that we want to talk about was Their hip Hop

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: with school Boyque. How did you come up with the

98
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: concept to get school Boy Que to do that poem?

99
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the record, the irony is I

100
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: was telling Still, I had an idea to write a

101
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: poem called their hip Hop, And the idea was kind

102
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: of because this project really represents our culture out here.

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: I was telling Still, I wanted to write it to

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: hip hop as if hip hop was like this dead

105
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: beat father you know that tried to disown his child.

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: I always felt like that growing up listening to you know,

107
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: New York hip hop, and then how they looked at

108
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the West Coast, you know, how lack of love they

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: showed the whole experience. It's like but your birthdays experience.

110
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: And I came to Still with the idea and Still like, oh,

111
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: let me let me write it, let me write of it.

112
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right. So he started writing the poem.

113
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: When he sent it to me, I like where he

114
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: was going. So I kind of added some pieces to

115
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: it and made some changes to where exactly what I

116
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: had in mind. But it was really good. And we

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: just wanted somebody that sounded like I sound like a

118
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: West Coast nigga, you know, I mean, I sound like

119
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: a l a I mean. But it was two names

120
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: that kept coming to mind, schoolboy Que and nice Cue.

121
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: And Que was a friend of ours, you know what

122
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean. We watched him come up in the business

123
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: to become a multi platinum success, so coming to him

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: for a favorite was never gonna be a hard thing.

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: It was always gonna be easy. But what's important about

126
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: that poem is it's funny because as time has went on,

127
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: like since we released that project maybe three weeks ago.

128
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: I've noticed this conversation starting to steer harder where it's

129
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: like they're talking about this meeting that happened in hip

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: hop where they decided that they was gonna turn hip

131
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: hop into like this evil thing, and the irony is

132
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: a letter popped up out of nowhere recently within the

133
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: last decade, and it was like, oh, you know in

134
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: hip hop went bad and the labels decided they was

135
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna put people in prison. It's like a popular letter

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Google it where they talk about how they was gonna

137
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: cause this evil turn of hip hop. But I always

138
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: found it funny that that's the majority of that's a

139
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: that's a majority East Coast take. And guess who happened

140
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: to have the rock you know in the culture three.

141
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: So it's perfect timing for that poem where it's like,

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: instead of you embracing the reality that the culture brings

143
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: that the West brings to the table, is like you

144
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: shun it. And I always felt like that was the

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: relationship between hip hop and gangster wrapped like a father

146
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: and a son. So it was dope to put it

147
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: in words like that, and then having th X, you know,

148
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: score th X is the super doll producer from from

149
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: the West, and people don't really know. He's like a

150
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: real hidden secret. So this is what he does. It

151
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: was just magic. It worked out like that when he

152
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: recorded it. Or did he send him the poem and

153
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: then he sent it back? No, I sent it to

154
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: him because if I would have went to the studio

155
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: with him, I would have over we would have over

156
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,920

158
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,120

Speaker 1: A lot of them liked it. Everybody pretty much came

165
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: together and liked the idea. They knew the idea was legitimate,

166
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920

204
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: all the finger banging and flag tusing. We turned the

00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: world out. Now you have set in the car. I'm

206
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: executing the head. But PIMC made the car. This is

207
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,920

00:11:52,760 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: saying what a my niggas saying say that? Yeah? Like

211
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: there you go, not just delete the whole page. So

212
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: the next song, the next song that stood out to me, well,

213
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say so the next song, like when

214
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: I played a record as I listened to it one

215
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: whole time that I just go back to. It's Roly Time.

216
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: Explain that because I like that, especially that first verse

217
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: you say times ten thousand and forty thousand real quick

218
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: heard some nigga said, who was that? Has a real

219
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: nigga cue? Is time to go? Or you know what

220
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean? So kind of talk about that, just talk

221
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: about what Rodie time is and in that concept. So

222
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: make sure we get back to third by myself because

223
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: I was a good point, but um well, Roly time

224
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: is true stories. It's three true stories that I turned

225
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: into one day and I thought it was unique because

226
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: they were both like it was too buster moments in

227
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: my life, you know, I mean, I got a list

228
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: of probably six Buster moments seven eight buster moments maybe,

229
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: and all of my years living and to document those

230
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: two to me with special you know what I'm saying.

231
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: That was a real dice game from me in the

232
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: PJS where I was wearing nigga's ass out in the

233
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: dice game and I really didn't know the other niggas.

234
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: I only knew a couple of niggas I was shooting with,

235
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: and it was niggas who came home for prison for me.

236
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: And they're looking at me like this old rap nigga

237
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: from around the corner over here, and you know, it

238
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: gets real territorial in the ghetto. So I'm wearing their

239
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: ass out in the dice game, destroying them. You feel

240
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: me whooping on them, putting tips, And I could see

241
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: niggas kind of coming together like looking like hold up

242
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: and this nigga just killing them, and I could see

243
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: the play unfolded. And when I see the nigga kind

244
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: of tuck off behind the bill and like to do

245
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: whatever he thought he was gonna through, I told my niggas,

246
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm gonna be right back and got up

247
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: out of there. You feel me. But that was a

248
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: buster moment and the other time it was in the Jungles.

249
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: That's a real time too, where this girl I was

250
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: messing with her brother came home and brother really you know,

251
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: knew who I was, and they gave me the the

252
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: crip treatment. You know you and you and the Jungles

253
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: that saw bloods they gave the crip treatment. And the

254
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: only difference is I went out the side window on

255
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: the bottom floor, and I mean I didn't end up

256
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: going out the door. I came out the window and

257
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: I really got on when he came back with his

258
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: people's So and the third stories about some ship happened

259
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: with some niggas, some niggas I knew from Hoover, not

260
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: particularly the niggas I know, but some niggas I funk

261
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: with from a Hoover gang. But it was these it

262
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: was these moments in my life to me where I

263
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: went out like a buster. So I wanted to put

264
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: him in the wrap, like I feel like gangsterism is

265
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: over highlighted as this always triumphant thing, Like Na, there's

266
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: some sucker moments in these times where you know what

267
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta make a choice, how important is

268
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: survival to you? So you could come back and do

269
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: the same thing again. So it's funny, like, don't listening

270
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: to that record, it always takes me back to those

271
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: times when that ship happened. Well, I don't know what's

272
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: wrong with his Mikey obviously having some mike issues. So

273
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: let's take it back to thud By myself. Because the

274
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: first time my brother heard that record, that part stood

275
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: out so hard to him. He said, Hey, man, did

276
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: you hear when that niga say you're better off getting

277
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: sharmed up? So kindie explain that. And before you explain it,

278
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: like we we listened to your podcast, so we know,

279
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: like you don't do no drugs, and when you was

280
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: gang banging heavy, uh, you would say, like, you can't

281
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: do it if you gotta get shumed up. You know

282
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's why that stood out to him.

283
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: So kind of explained that concept for people who might

284
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: not know what's going on in the active gang banging world.

285
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Most of the ship that's happening, you know, the violent

286
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: crimes of the vin Most people are just high dog

287
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: like hi that the niggas be high. You know, whether

288
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: you know niggas is popping pills at this point in

289
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: time or niggas was doing pre modes before my time,

290
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: and during my time, niggas was smoking shun too, you know,

291
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: or getting drunk. I call it liquid courage. You know

292
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, to go do these same things. And

293
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: it's funny. I was, I'm gonna have I was having

294
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: a conversation with my homeboy scaff and um we was

295
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: at a Chinese full restaurant. He had just got out.

296
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: Was in Bellflower, and my rap career is starting to blossom.

297
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's starting to know who I am. So

298
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: he was really proud because this is somebody that pretty

299
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: much he taught me a lot of stuff I know

300
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: about gang banking and really how to survive and really

301
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: pushed me to be, you know, the man that I

302
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: could be as well. You know what I'm saying, like

303
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: not let nobody do nothing to me. He taught me

304
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot like honestly, like watching him and watching him

305
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: develop his reputation was special, you know what I mean.

306
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: He only a year or two older, but he was

307
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: way off the porch. Faster, long story short, I go

308

410
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: fully up to this point because my life be in

411
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: a movie mama was a d girl. Brother still at it, Like, no,

412
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: I lost my mom to prison. You know, she twenty

413
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: years for going to jail, you know, getting caught on

414
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: the forty Freeway with ten keylows and seven gallons of PCP. Right,

415
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: So that that line really stuck out to me too

416
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: when we heard it, and you say, brother still all

417
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: at it, like like my brothers still getting it right now? Allegedly,

418
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: Uh to me that you feel me, But to me,

419
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: that's like that's why we said. This was to us

420
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: like classic West Coast rap. Right, We're from the Midwest,

421
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: We from Einstra, Michigan, but we gravitated towards West Coast rap,

422
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: the northern California rap in l A. And when we

423
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: heard this new project, we say, Yo, this this classic

424
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: West Coast ship. Like this that West Coast ship. Another

425
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: running theme throughout the album is storytime with Corrupt, kind

426
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: of talk about what what made you decide to put

427
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Corrupt on there? And uh, how you actually feel about

428
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: Corrupt because he's actually has three interludes and is also

429
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: on one song on the album. Well, really he owned

430
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: more than that. He owned Like, so to me, Corrupt

431
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, my guy he asked me on three racs. No, No,

432
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: it's funny, he's on mores. This is funny, right, So yeah, exactly,

433
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: he's all three. But it's funny how it works, right, what? What?

434
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find the right words. Corrupt first off,

435
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: is one of the earliest people that isn't Corrupt are

436
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: two of the earliest people when I got into this

437
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: business that didn't care about what they thought of my

438
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: street reputation, on me being from where I was from,

439
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: who showed me love. So that's starting even personally with

440
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: my career. Previously before that, Corrupt just always been this

441
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: really top tier MC who can still make great rap records.

442
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: And I've always felt he represented you know, even though

443
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: he's from Philadelphia initially, right, I always felt like he

444
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: represented the West so well, you know what I mean,

445
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: like unbelievably well. And I like him as a storyteller

446
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: really well, because I think he always saw it from

447
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: this different perspective, like he's able to break down moments

448
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: completely different, because I think when you live out here

449
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: your whole life, you know, you you're born and raised here,

450
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: you you kind of take it for granted, you know,

451
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: it becomes like it doesn't happen. But if you lift

452
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: still or iced tea or uh, Corrupt talk to you

453
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: about you know what's going on. When they something happened,

454
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: the story is a lot more visual because a lot

455
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: of the things they don't take for granted. It's still

456
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: very much all they can notice, every last thing. And

457
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: I like that when Corrupt would tell stories, like whether

458
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: he would tell a story about Red Run rest in peace,

459
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: him and Red Rum in a car, like he knew

460
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: how to tell you what's gas station he was at,

461
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: what streets, why it was important once he crossed Manchester

462
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: being in Inglewood. That would be a story that most

463
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: of us would tell you, and we wouldn't be able

464
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: to get that point across because we would think you

465
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: already know once you cross Manchester on Chris Shaw, you

466
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: in Inglewood, But to somebody that's not from me or

467
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: you have no idea. So I just always like Corrupt

468
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: as a storyteller. I always thought he was a really

469
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: intelligent person um and he's one of the most underrated

470
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: storytellers on the coast. So minus the rap side of it,

471
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: but just listening to him tell them stories is amazing,

472
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It was dope. We could

473
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: get into a little bit of the storytime with Corrupt.

474
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do one, you gotta do the one

475
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: with red room. No no, no recipes read because I

476
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: don't that said have maybe sad don't do number three?

477
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 1: Do number two with him and Snoop. And this is

478
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: what's so awesome because if you know the story of

479
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: how Snoop and Corrupt met, right they met challenging each

480
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: other in a cipher. So is that one because you

481
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: know what here ain't really don't give it to Okay, cool,

00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: We was in Mexico, with black tone them. Sugar Free

Speaker 1: young niggas out there and it was kind of talking.

497
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, Corrupt is off the stage and

498
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: he liked these little niggas ass up. I'm talking about

Speaker 1: That nigga is the real and if you listen to him,

501
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: like this is him as Snoop. Snoop is the greatest

502
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: hip hop artist ever. Corrupt is like you know day

503
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: in the same click, Corrupt is a multi platinum success

504
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: you mean successful records all that. This nigga is still

00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: like that. You don't hear him talking about his plaques.

506
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: You don't hear him talking about the success. So we

507
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: can freak in the streets as a mother the classic

508
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,919

Speaker 1: right now, man, like you could pull niggas out. Man,

517
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: you're not gonna serve if if if niggas had to

00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: get if niggas had to side corrupt to get a deal,

519
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: my nigga, the record industry would have so much budget

520
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: left over all year because niggas is not serving corrupt, bro,

521
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: it just ain't gonna happen right now. He takes pride

522
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: in what he do. He take pride in this craftsmanship. Dog,

523
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: and he's very serious about the dog. Him and rb

524
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: X is really the rap niggas over there, because you

525
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: know they here. You gotta hear X tell them stories too, dog,

526
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: because he talked about in the early days of death Row,

527
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 1: how they used to just get in the car and

528
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: go to the projects, like they'd go to the knicks

529
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: and gardens, they go to the pueb blows and they

530
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: was just over there battling. Niggas are really just serving niggas.

531
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: But another person who don't get credit for being like

532
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: that is Trade e oh, Trade, Like that trade. Niggas

533
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: is not gonna step on Tracy Davis. Man, you just not.

534
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: And it's funny because they all that's the one thing

535
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: that's underrated about that dog pal camp, whether it's Snoop, Yeah,

536
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: them niggas is rappers. Man, Them niggas ain't sucking around

537
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: so funk all the street ship and all the ship

538
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: you want to think about. You're not going to get

539
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: on these niggas, man, they will battle you and get

540
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: on your ship. And I think Dog became such an

541
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: icon of hip hop about that Dog used to be

542
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: that like he steal lives dog. But Dog used to

543
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: be just yeah, you can see and they go out

544
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: the room right now. If you put nigg is in

545
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: the room with Dog right now, and and Dog take

546
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: off them glasses and take that ship out of here

547
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: and start going, you'll be you'll be reminded why he's

548
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Snoop dog freestyle Doggie style. I don't think you really

549
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: understand he's off the hook man that niggles into the

550
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: song with you, Snoop and another o g iced tea

551
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of talk about your love for the original record,

552
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: which made you want to g mix the next record?

553
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Uh six in the morning, Like, what was it about

554
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: that record that made you say, you know what, I

555
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: can mix this and get the reception that I want

556
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: and then steal out to he speak on it, Get

557
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: into that, get into that record a little bit um.

558
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: I really didn't know how it would be received. Honestly,

559
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: like a lot of this ship I'm doing now, I

560
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: don't think I really care about that. I just care

561
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: about what I think is dope and what I think

562
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: hip hop needs, and what I definitely think hip hop needs,

563
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: especially the West Coast, especially the up and coming seen

564
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: on the East Coast in New York. I think we

565
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: really need to tap back into the legends, you know,

566
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: the the Ice t the LLL co Jays, the method Man,

567
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: the Corrupts, the dass Is Swiss Beats. I think that's

568
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: why it's so hard for the next wave of artists

569
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: to succeed. You know what I mean, It's not a

570
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: it's not a wave of different niggas. Is you know,

571
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: it's only one or two niggas that's having it consistently.

572
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: Everybody else's you know, it's inconsistent. You know, it's no

573
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: new DMX is You know what, as far as success

574
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: goes there's no new jay Z's as far as success goes.

575
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: There's no new biggies as far as success coast. And

576
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: I think it is because it's a break in the lineage.

577
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: So being able to connect the lineage of the West

578
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: Coast Iced Tea with Snoop Like, I feel like Iced

579
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: Tea is the West Coast gangster rap god. Like our

580
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: whole staff was built off of what Six in the

581
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: Morning was. You know, we took this year the first

582
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: person I heard on a record. Yeah, and that's crazy,

583
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: But I feel like he created this reality sense of

584
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: how we do it where you know, people that was

585
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: doing gangster rap before him or the idea they were

586
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: still rapping about how good of a rapper. They were

587
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: talking about DJs and rappers and ship this nigger ship

588
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: is all about pimp and howin going to prison, running

589
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: from the police, you know what I mean. Like it

590
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: was just reality and I think he's the god of it.

591
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, we've built so many songs off of that

592
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: one song, whether it's you know, six in the Morning

593
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: easily is um. You know, you get boys, you don't

594
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: have boys in the hood without Six in the Morning.

595
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: You don't have um wild thing without that, you don't have. Uh,

596
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: tonight is the night you don't have. Regular you don't have.

597
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: Murder was a case you don't have. Today was a

598
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: good day. You don't even have. You don't have Roly

599
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: time because rolling time very much was old to six

600
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: in the morning. And Snoop If Ice Tea is the

601
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: god against rap, then Snoop Dog is the Jesus of

602
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: Gainster rap. Like he came and fulfilled the prophecy of

603
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: everything it could be. Like he, like like ice came

604
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: and laid it down and created this thing where we

605
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: could have in w a where we could have you know,

606
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: t and space, We could have this stuff, We could

607
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: have some success. But when Snoop came, he just transformed life,

608
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and changed it all and

609
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: pushed pushed our culture and our will upon the whole masses.

610
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: So connecting them they had never did a record together,

672
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so my respect, he's

673
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: somebody to me that pack of the wife of people

674
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: like me that really came from the dirt doing it

675
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: all to transition into the music business, and for him

676
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 1: to have multi platinum success is incredible. I mean because

677
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: it's tough when you're real, when it's authentic and people

678
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: know you know, they cut you off faster, they cut

679
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: away from you. So my respect for him and like

680
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: like still said, I've literally been on records saying he's

681
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: like he's he like rock Kim has so many uh

682
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: students and people that that they funk with, and I

683
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: think Trade is our He's what rock Kim would sound

684
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: like if he was from here. So I met Trade

685
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: on the streets before, on some drugship before. Honestly, um,

686
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: but I was always a fan. So when he came

687
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: home from prison the last time, I made sure. Even

688
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: before he came home, I'll let him know. You know,

689
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: like my my energy was going crazy and I'm like,

690
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: look my nigga, like I look up to you, bro.

691
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: If you need someone, you come home funk with me, man,

692
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: like I want to get up with you. And it

693
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: was loving respect back. He was able to check you know,

694
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: who I was, and it made sense for him to

695
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: funk with it. So ever since he came on from prison,

696
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: I've been rocking with him. Whatever he wanted, whatever he needed,

697
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: whatever he asked me for you know, I just want

698
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: the best for the ones that's like me what I'm saying,

Speaker 1: Y'all don't realize the reason that nigger got his shape

830
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: was to handle the content I'm about to start releasing.

831
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: He know all this ship is light. The he was

832
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: tripping off Rihano or tripping off Tupac must die or

833
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: tripping still know what's in there. He knows what's just

834
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: not just so he wouldn't give me a stroke, so

835
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: I could be ready for these scraps, for these squabbles

836
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: we were to line up. Ain't gonna be no squab

837
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: But before we get up out of here, man, we

838
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: want to thank you for your time project. You just

839
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: mentioned tupac Us Die. We was like, then, we've seen

840
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: that was absent from the project, but then still explained like, no,

841
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: that just was a lucy heat through out there, and

842
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: that was Hella. I think it was Hella controversial because

843
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: the figure that people look at podcasts and they always

844
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: forget that the it's always the most popular person who

845
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: the people champion, and that people forget that these other

846
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: people have stories too. But we're gonna say that one

847
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 1: because the last song on the record was Monster Cody

848
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: R I P. And we really does that record because

849
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: our introduction to real we're not gang bangers, you know

850
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: what I see what I'm saying by our introduction to

851
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: real gang l A Street Ship was Monster Cody book.

852
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: I think we read that when he was like fourteen

853
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: years old, and it seems so at fourteen reading that book,

854
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: it's like this ship serious, Like this is how this

855
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: ship going in l A Like because we know it's

856
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: a million Monster Cody's, it's a lot of niggas, but

857
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: that like right to read that ship and it'll be like, damn,

858
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: this is what l A is about. And to watch

859
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: his progression uh after reading it, because then we start

860
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: seeing him in documentary and then we started learning about

861
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: his little brother. Uh. Monster Cody is who taught us

862
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: how to gang names go whereas little Baby Tiny. All

863
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: of that come from us reading Monster Cody book and

864
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: then when he passed away, and uh, for you to

865
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: have that record, uh, just to pay homage to a

866
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: fellow crip because that's big. And I don't know if

867
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: people know how big that is, because if they pay

868
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: attention to l A, it's a lot of crip on

869
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: cryp violence. But to step away and say it don't

870
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: matter about the crip on cryp violence. This crip was

871
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: that crip. So talk about that record before we get

872
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: into it. So to be honest, like Monster Cody, it

873
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: wasn't even just like doing it because he was another crip.

874
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: Like if that was a blood nigga telling the same story,

875
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: it has been justice intriguing. What I like about Cody

876
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: was it ain't a lot of people as artickuling it

877
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: that got his kind of jacket, Like I don't got

878
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: a jacket like Monster Code Monster Cody is like chopping

879
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: nigger arm off Jackiet. You know them older niggas, man

880
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: them niggas is different. Them niggas like stab you, you

881
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: know what I mean like and I mean I don't

00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: mean slice you, I mean literally stab you and look

883
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: at your eyes while you fall it. So their generation

884
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: is different, you know. I'm I'm I've always had a

885
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: respect for how articling he was and how he was

886
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: able to express how he saw this ship that was important.

887
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: And honestly I got that piece from a homie a O. G.

899
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: noticed and what's really specialists for that particular thing. Minus that,

901
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,640

902
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: o g legendary shixty, a real good brother. Monster Cody

903
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: is an a trade So for that conversation, so for

904
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: that conversation to be happening, it was certain things that

905
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: he revealed to keV that he wouldn't reveal to just

906
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: any documentary, some white filmmaker. And that is one of

907
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: those things. I've heard Monster Cody talk about how the

908
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: sixties in the trade beach started a few times, and

909
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the same consistent story. But that story

910
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: right there, it miss something because he was talking to

911
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: somebody who had been around the culture as long as

912
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: he was. So he was telling Keev right who was

913
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: close to Monster's age, or if maybe the same age,

914
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean right close. He was telling him

915
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: how the first two main characters in Crypt the time

916
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: he got a chance to ride with both of them.

917
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, this is Raymond Washington, the guy who started crips,

918
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: right with his crew, his guy arrest in peace to

919
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: those guys and and and took you who became kind

920
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: of the face of it at the highest level. And

921
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: he's telling him a story about how they were riding

922
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: in the car together and zoom that came out. And

923
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: even what's crazy is if you listen to the rest

924
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: of that interview that I took that from with with

925
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: Kevimc on kevimc Videos on YouTube. If you listen to

926
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: an interview, he tells the story when they finally got

927
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: back to where it was going in the neighborhood and

928
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: Monster as Raymond excuse me, Tookie, as Raymond did he

929
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: wants was he hungry? He's like, yeah, you know, give

930
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: me an egg sandwich. So Monster scraped together and gave

931
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: him the last little bit of change he had and said, Monster,

932
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: go get some food. Monster was so hungry, like and

933
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: this is how I knew that them dudes lives was

934
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: in a different place. They didn't have access to opportunity

935
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: and economics they did. It wasn't available because when they

936
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: got to the when Monster got to the place to

937
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: get this egg sandwich and and the food for Tookie,

938
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: he stole the egg out of Raymond sandwich and I

939
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: know that seems funny, but it's funny to me like

940
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: listening to it. But when I think about it, you know,

941
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: how hungry you gotta be the stiller nigger egg got

942
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: a sandwich. And that's the part of this gang culture

943
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: that we don't really ever get, which is a lot

944
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: of these brothers was poor and and funked up and

945
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: not having a ton of opportunity. They didn't have a

946
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: ton of opportunity to make a livel ways they was.

947
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: You had to take crumbs. That's what they wanted them

948
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: to settle for, and them niggas wasn't going for it.

949
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: And so when you check that out on Kevi Mac,

950
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: look at keV Mac and Monster Cody. But when he

951
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: tells that story, you know you don't hear that part obviously,

952
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: where Manster steals the egg and all of that stuff happened.

953
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: They go back and take all the food from there

954
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,959
Speaker 1: on the players and come back and Marster's bragging about

955
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: how great he ate, like that was a big deal

956
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: that he ate great, which is trip right, But how

957
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: when Raymond is singing Zoom in the car like his

958
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: life something that we look up to these guys and

959
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: we'll be like, oh man, but his life was so

960
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: traumatic he wanted to escape on the spaceship. That's why Zoom,

961
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: you know, should be the black national anthem, because that's

962
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: why black people attest to it. Our life in this

963
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: country is so traumatic that we want to escape this world.

964
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: And this is Raymond Washington, right, the originator of the Crips,

965
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: and and Standy Tiki Williams in this car together, and

966
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: Raymond and Monster is so younger the back seat. He

967
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: don't even realize that the two niggas even look up

968
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: to really don't love the life they live. It's something

969
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: that they banned together because they felt it was necessary.

970
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: And that ship is dope. Like just listening to it,

971
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: like those three brothers in one car. What I'm saying,

972
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, shoutout kiv mc um, shout out hood postman um.

973
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: Then with some of the brothers, first brothers to start,

974
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, when I gotta give Alex Alonso's um wel

975
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: as his props. You know, so Alex, you know, Alex

976
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: is out there doing this thing. I ain't no man,

977
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: he has fantastic, all of them brothers. I'm so yeah,

978
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: And it's so important and it's so important that those

979
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: brothers keep that journey going because it gives details into

980
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: our life. People think it's so ignorant, and it's not

981
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: like it's driven off poverty and oppression what I'm saying.

982
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: And that's why that skit is so important. It seems

983
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: like this super creepy thing to do. And I know

984
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: that's what people are gonna get from it. But for me,

985
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: I listened to it and you hear zoom and this

986
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: nigg is singing at the top of his lungs, like

987
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: just think about this though. G you know, Raymond Washington, Tookie,

988
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: those are legendary figures. They've never made the diame off

989
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: of gangbanging, bro. They just you know, they people the figures.

990
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: But and that's what people need to realize that gangsterism

991
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: is a part of West Coast culture, just like um,

992
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,479
Speaker 1: you know the brothers um Graffitian, you know their names

993
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: on the trains and tagging the trains, of bombing the

994
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: trains and stuff like that, and spending on the cardboard boxes.

995
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: It's just the same thing, bros. A part of the

996
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: West Coast coach. It wasn't about and it's not about

997
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: to this day. It's not about killing poor people killed

998
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: because they just deal with things primitively. But that's not

999
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: what gangbanging is about. It's just not It's really about

1000
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: that brotherhood of a bunch of brothers coming up together,

1001
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: broke and manning together either or persevere and chase economics.

1002
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: Let let's go onto that real quick before we go

1003
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: into that, man, what is the next project dropping bro um?

1004
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,960

00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, so people can digest them. But I definitely

1044
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: was called Zoo and Raymonds stuck on it. He keeps

1045
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: clicking that but fucking to the same song. But he's

1046
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: singing at the top of his voice, O U, I

1047
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: live to fly far away from bed where my mom

1048
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: and he's seeing that top of points. But that ship

1049
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: is infectious. So we are all just like this right,

1050
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: that ship's cool, which is like, this is the top, cryptim,

1051
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,760

1054
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: that real question, he said, this is the type of

1055
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Cryptoine though, and it's really it wasn't really what people think.

1056
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: He's not talking about them. Nigga is going to kill

1057
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: each other. It was just him and his boys and

1058
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: they're just making the best out of something. I really

1059
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: want to shout out keV Mac for allowing me to

1060
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: use that like as I asked him, it was never nothing.

01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: He's like Chico Ahead for I got it's nothing, you

01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And and speaking of Warren G

1063
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,240
