47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,000

00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: down South Man. And I ain't gonna say, Man, that

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: New York was necessarily Hayden because the things is cool,

50
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: they said, you know what I'm saying, But when you know,

51
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: the West first came out, man, because you know Luke

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: and Mr. Mixing Too was good friends of mine. They

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: told me how to catch cut the mics out on

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: them when he was on stage, you know, just doing

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: all kind of stuff when you're first in the game, Man,

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: what kind of positions with y'all? Me for the East Coast?

57
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: The first video, the first video, as soon as we

58
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: dropped seals there. If we got banned from MTV, they

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: labeled us races. So soon as we came out, we

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: was hit with a ceiling because we were speaking, uh,

61
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: something different than what was going on during the days.

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, like you said, uh, it really was

63
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: never the people in New York. It was just always

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: the people up in them buildings. They just wasn't gonna

65
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: respect where we was from it. And I think we

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: always put it like this, like the first time we

67
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: went to the Source of Wars, that was the first time,

68
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: and I think all of us saw each other in

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: the flesh. We had just been watching all of us.

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Everybody was watching each other on b T. But I

71
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: mean that the Source of World, that's the person night

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: I really got to see eight. That's the first night

73
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: I've seen quick. That's the first thing I've seen death

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: rolling everybody in the flesh routine. And I feel like

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: from that night, we left there just feeling like we're

76
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna make the music. We're gonna make the music to

77
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: make them respect us. And I know that's the same

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: way the West Coast felt that night, like yo, man,

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: like we earned the respect, give us the respect. So

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: we left there with that chip on our shoulder like

81
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep your ass man for the next ten

82
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: years and we did that, y'allure did that, man, because

83
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: I know, I'll here man, and I don't know how

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: they continue to seale there some racist man, you know,

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: because what what what was basically considered racist and content

86
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: that they said y'all was talking about, I mean, or

87
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: the images of the videos I mean because if it

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: keev I mean the video motherfucker's. They was banning a

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: lot of our ship back then. I mean myself included

90
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: you on me, right, Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure where

91
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: they caught when they wented off relations because I just

92
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: think that you know, the the information you know, um,

93
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: you know that we were general and that we was

94
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: exposing or addressing. You know, I just found like they

95
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: had to be able to classify it in some regard

96
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: and where they come write it off to the song

97
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: because we were you know what I mean, because we

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: were you know, we we we were being affected with

99
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: the information too. You know, it was coming to hit

100
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: record at the time, That's what I think, you know

101
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, y'all definitely came with like with

102
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: the sale Therapy record, man, y'all talked about that was

103
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: really like a prophecy. Almost all the ships, y'all talked

104
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: about and that record man is happening right now. That

105
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: that ever suck you all up? Yeah, Man, looked at

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,800

Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So we were speaking on

110
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,120

00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: issue that we all see right now? What's what's the

124
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: unseen hand? Right now? You can't get to relax. Yeah,

00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to take it, but some people take it.

128
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know what's it's a it's a

129

00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, Yeah exactly. And that that's the thing right there.

131
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: It's like in Atlanta, you all seeing so different because

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: it's a black city. It's like I was telling it

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: before we came on. I went down Niggas, my MoMA

134
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: live down there. That ship is like the conda. It

135
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: feels so good to walk in the soul food restaurant

136
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: without seeing the Japanese person back they're cooking my greens

137
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: made to the people. But a going out. You know,

138
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: when you go to the soul food restaurant, you want

139
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: to see a big black woman look like I don't

140
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: want to just like I just like if I go

141
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: to a typic place, I want to see it mixed

142
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: into with my tapels. I don't want to go back.

143
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: And taco too is different than Mexican typos are black.

144
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, you you go, you go, you see a

145
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: nigger back there and make picking some tacos that you

146
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: fail to get that, but ground beet and key now.

147
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: And I was always able to make the connection between

148
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: the South and the West Coast because you know, we

149
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: were doing taxi suits at court suit, you know what

150
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So even if even in the even in

151
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: the fashion, you know what I'm saying, or maybe the

152
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: draw or the way that was spoken, man made through that,

153
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: uh make that that connection with the West Coast, you know, yeah,

154
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: exactly like I see it, Rick Cousins, because you know

155
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: when I go down to um if you remember back

156
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: in the nineties, man, you know when you would go

157
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: to Houston, Atlanta of different places, we all addressed the

158
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: same the reason we worked church. That was true. M hmm,

159
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: it was true. But it's just like you know, that

160
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: was that was our uniform, man, that was our daily

161
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: motherfucking uniform, a khaki super ship. It it'd be fined

162
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: who we were as uh as motherfucker's with our signature

163
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, you know, Uh, it was our state,

164
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, wearing the khaki suit, you

165
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So that's where a lot of

166
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: picked up and I think from the South gravitate because,

167
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: like I said, I went to the South a lot

168
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: to take trips, you know, some of vacations and ship

169
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: like that, family reunions. You know. I never ventured to

170
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: the East coast. Yeah, find a record deal, you get me.

171
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: So both most of my family vacations in the summer

172
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: vacations was going down the Gulport, Mississippi, or going to Houston,

173
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Texas or Louisiana somewhere like that. So I think that's

174
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: where the music trying to laid us cousins, because we

175
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: kind of familiarized ourselves with each other. What's the difference

176
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: between and yeah, Atlanta, what's the difference in a later

177
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: New York? I mean to me, I look at real

178
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: motherfuckers and back then you have real motherfuckers rapping and

179
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: a loose to that. So it really wouldn't know different

180
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: to me. Whenever I went out of town with SHO,

181
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: you all still have to be ready because you know,

182
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: motherfuckers say all the motherfuckers ain't killers down there? Bullshit,

183
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: everybody killers every I mean, you know, you got rappers

184
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: all over the place. What made different? I don't, I don't.

185
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: I still don't understand that. What's what's the difference between

186
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta and l A when to well, I'll tell you

187
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: what the difference is. Uh. The difference was in Atlanta,

188
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: gangsters couldn't be gangsters on the outside. The coffee gangsters

189
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: in this city was considered keen. What's considered abane because

190
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: consider those kind of people. Those were the real gangsters

191
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: because to us, they beat the system. So when it

192
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: came to three ships, like real gangsters really had to

193
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: talk to them politicians back then, like Jos Williams was

194
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: a real gangster, but he was super you know what

195
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean. It was just the presentation of it was

196
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: totally different, and it was about damn near it was.

197
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: It was in the church. Those were church men that

198
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: was doing all that over Those were actually church But

199
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: at the same time too, gangsters were really they were different,

200
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: like like I didn't know different between West Coast and

201
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: certain gangsters too. I went to Denver, Colorado, and my

202
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: cousin get up and that was the first time I

203
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: got introduced to gang bangers. And when he would get

204
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: up in the morning, he would instantly to get his

205
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: get an iron out, do his T shirt, do his cakie.

206
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: That was every day ship. You know what I mean,

207
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Like damn, Like he was like, Yo, this's a uniform,

208
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I and I didn't.

209
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: That was the first time that I got in the

210
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: car and they went on who Rides. That was the

211
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: first time that I heard et for then to click

212
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: too short, y'all, you know what I mean? End up,

213
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: That was the first time. And to be able to

214
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: be in a game banging environment. When I came back home,

215
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: I was turned out. It was like something that I

216
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: never experienced before, so I didn't I didn't recognize what

217
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: it was until I got into the environment of Gang Bang.

218
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: It's a difference when you see people on TV and

219
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: they're wearing the cakies and you're like, like, you never

220
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: knew why easy to eat board khakis and had a

221
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: skull capital because you're like, y'all in the West comes

222
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: it should be hot everything. But you didn't see that

223
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: at night they get cool. You need Joe Fleming. You

224
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: know what. When I got that, when I got to

225
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Denver and I got around other game bangers, I saw

226
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: how to dress and the environment all made sense exactly exactly.

227
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, man, I understand that that's

228
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: that's when I really understood that the uniform with game

229
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: bangings a read it's a reason why because they consider

230
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: theirselves soldiers and for toombs and these are sex and

231
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: we are and this is our uniform. And you don't

232
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: know that when you're watching it from the kids that

233
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: standpoint on this side of the TV. You know what

234
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean. When I watched you know what I mean.

235
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: So you don't know until you get into the environment.

236
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: Why courts, that's why why you wear courts. Many diggers

237
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: down here that whoe dickies, the niggas actually used to

238

00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: warehouse that would be they work closed. I mean they

240
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: want absolutely banging. But they was like some family diggers

241
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: that if you funk with them with their family, then

242
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: it's on. You know what I mean. That's the tax

243
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like to this day, I go speaking

244
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: something yo, dude, the wet diggers, and and he just

00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: whole once you got their money on the clothes like

248
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: they're doing right now. So I definitely don't hain't saluted

249
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: y'all man for that ship man, because she we were

250
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: wearing them whole suits, them whole overalls. You know what

251
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean. It's just really just in the trap, you

252
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Just that that was our trapped gil.

253
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. Up on that ship.

254
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: We just had out read. But once we jumped into

255
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: that ship, it was time to go to work. Whether

256
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: you was clocking me in ninety five or when you

257
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: was traveling from nine to five, you know what I mean. So,

258
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it ain't even a no big difference between us.

259
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: It's just a time zone really. You know well, I

260
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: said that every time every time I do records or

261
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: when I used to put our records and ship and

262
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: I used to talk to motherfucker's I always wrote my

263
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: records in the presence of niggas is all the same everywhere.

264
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. If we got niggas like

265
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: this in my neighborhood, this niggas just like this down

266
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Mississippi to New York. So always based my

267
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: ship upon that because I never tried to base it

268
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: on we were the only gangsters or whatever, like James

269
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: would say, ship niggas is hard everywhere. You know what

270
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Niggas just shoots you where every we don't.

271
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it don't matter wherever the funk you ask.

272
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: You do a nigga thirty and he about his business. Nigga,

273
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna catch that heat. So we we related and

274
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: sort of all struggles and the poverty and all that

275
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: type of ship. And I'm saying, all our parents came

276
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: from one place. You give me, yes, we got all

277
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: doing music though, that really connect and stuff. You know

278
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like like jazz and like blues and

279
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: like soul music. You feel what I'm saying. So, oh,

280
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: that ship connects us because we're pouring. We're pouring our

281
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: life and this ship you know I'm talking about me. Yeah,

282
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: you can dance to this ship every now and then,

283
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: but when you really started listening to this ship, they's

284
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: just pouring out their hearts and their souls about what

285
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: the fun going on in their neighborhood. And you know

286
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, ship like that, So I look at

287

321
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. The thing really is, it's

322
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: really black on black though, really, you know what I'm

323
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: talking about. At the end of the day, we got

324
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: really more in that then they got them white on black,

325
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. They just once they

326
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: got them put it on the news that the police

327
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: on the shide of a black person. Then that's what

328
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: niggas getting really emotional. But if you look at the statistics,

329
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: they shoot more wife folk than that, you know what

330
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, We just get got more runnings with the podies.

331
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: You know what i we got, We got more black

332
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: we got running is with the police because Atlanta is

333
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: a special kind of city. At the same time, this

334
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: is the only city that you're gonna have crypts, bloods,

335
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: g d s, vice lords, and and Mexican games. You're

336
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: not gonna head at in l A. You're not gonna

337
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: have cryps having beat with g ds. That's gonna be.

338
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: It's like that in the Atlanta because it's enough Chicago

339
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: people here is bringing their culture here, and it's enough

340
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: l A people here they and then you've got the

341
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: people from Atlanta that has gravitated to one side of

342
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: that culture, either to the Chicago drill or culture or

343
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: to the l A gang coaching. But it's all a

344
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: mission Atlanta. So that's why right there you're having a

345
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: lot of shoots, because you're having a lot of people

346
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: that's it's really banging on each other. That's not that

347
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be banging on each other, but in

348
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: this city that that they're just as that they side

349
00:19:51,960 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: by side. That's think about world start right, and you

350
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: got niggas brandish, the pistols are all in the world.

351
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Start right. You know what I'm saying. White folks see

352
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: that ship too, so they're scared too. They're scared the

353
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: motherfucker too. So that's like all the all that got them.

354
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: They on fifteen on pistols. Damn, you can't damn they'll

355
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: find unless you build that ship on your own, you

356
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: feel I'm saying. So it's like this is what these

357
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: niggas are listening to. And the don'to new type of

358
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: type of dog too, you know what i mean. We

359
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, we came up, We came up out the

360
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: brown weed first, you know what I'm talking about. You

361
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Then when we came out to

362
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: l A, we really was like, oh man, but that

363
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: ship then make us come back to a manner and

364
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: shoot motherfucker's you know what I'm talking about it. Then

365
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: it had an effect like that. So it's something. It's

366
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: something else going on, man to where unbolenced of months,

367
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: our home people. You know what I'm saying is it's

368
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: got them. It's is at an all time Well today

369
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: you don't have leadership today, you don't have that that

370
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: that big homeboy. Are that that one that one guy

371
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: you can look up to that's telling you that this

372
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: ship ain't cool. So I got a mix of motherfucker's

373
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: out there drinking like a lean and all that up ship,

374
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: which we didn't have that back in the days. And

375
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: then you got motherfucker's crank co game now all the

376
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: different type of ship that they can't even happen, but

377
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: they're using and they don't give up my body only.

378
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: So that's the big problem that that we have in

379
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: the inter city in the hood. You know, we're doing

380
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: ship that wasn't unheard wasn't heard of back then, So

381
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: you don't have that control, you know what I'm saying,

382
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: And nobody want to take the listening to grab whole

383
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: whatever mean. So it's just it is what it is

384
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: right now and it's gonna stay that way. Somebody just

385
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: slow these young cats down. Hold that thought, brother, we'll

386
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: be right back still. James eight, y'all need to better

387
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: give me my fine Donald I put that on the set.

388
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: I need to go give me some water. Mirror my

389
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,200

00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: pay granted her money. It's gangster granny. Y'all know me?

391
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: Where are you ask? If you look at a lot

392
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: of our ship from back in the days, you know

393
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: we're banging this chip um. We represent it as far

394
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: as you know, our neighborhoods and the blocks we came from, whatever,

395
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: but get that music. Um, we really didn't have the avenue,

396
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: so to speak, because like I said, the record labels

397
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: were banners, video stations were bammers. If we promoted our

398
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: shipped to a certain extent of gang banking. Um, the

399
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: youth of today are living they affiliations through their music.

400
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it. Yeah, the ones that you

401
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: know we get the violence from the hip hop whatever. Um,

402
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: they live in their affiliations through that music. You know,

403
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: we got a lot of set claiming, we got a

404
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: lot of you know, funk your hood, this is my hood.

405
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: We dish we that you know, and niggas is crrry

406
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and that's beef across states. You feel me like we

407
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: we had little beefs in our music, you know what

408
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying or whatever. But for the most part, we

409
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: concentrated on our ships, on just trying to get our

410
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: ship out and our subjects or whatever. We didn't really

411
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: concentrate too much on that motherfucker across town or whatever. Whatever.

412
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: But now that you've got the access that the youth got,

413
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: you get me. You know what I'm saying. I could

414
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: start beefing with a nigger down in Atlanta with the head,

415
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: with the with the with the hit of a button,

416
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: you get and and and then I could jump. You

417
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Niggas want to venture the towns

418
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: and ship and they thinking, you know, I'm harder than

419
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: this nigga. And like I said, you coming to my

420
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: town and beefing with me across five states and ship

421
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: and then you show up acting like you hard It's

422
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: gone ending a lot of gang violence, you know what

423
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Because look at this when I if I

424
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: saw a good at my video, I seen cats having

425
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: a good time. Yeah right, you you watch one of

426
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: our videos, I might have to kill that monck if

427
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: I ran into him, exactly ship. It was. It was

428
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: a big difference though, you know what I'm saying that,

429
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: Like I had to carry my gun to this video. Shoot.

430
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: If you watch the video or you know some of

431
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: that are there, you know it was totally different. It

432
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: was di We didn't allow. We didn't allow it. We

433
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: was we was we were so head, you know, like

434
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: being in the nineties, it was it was hands on

435
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: us the respective that you wasn't he just pushed it

436
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: in your face and kicks you up your gass. Man,

437
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: if they ain't respect you, you couldn't talk, no tough ship.

438
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: You couldn't do none of that ship. So it's like

439
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: being from that era and there being in this era.

440
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like, man, it's it's like day and night

441
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: because like E said, you can't start the people somebody,

442
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: most of these beaste folk getting into on the internet.

443
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: So you're like, what's the end doll to this game?

444
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: What's the end dog to this game? Well, it's just

445
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: like what what I learned? They said, give what's bigger

446
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: than the super stuff and then superstar the game. The

447
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: game now just pushed these kids and to somebody knock

448
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: their weed on. Now we control they whole and they

449

00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: head they gol. So if you look at it right there,

452
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of turned it into a very evil game,

453
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: right then, hip up, especially when it comes to dead

454
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: rappers being pimped by other rappers. Mhm, right, I don't

455
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: know if I heard some country that beef and oh goddamn,

456
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,480

671
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Now I have looked on back

672
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: onto it. It was it was a selfish move for

673
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 1: me because I'm leaving the up. You know what I'm saying, Lick,

674

Speaker 1: you know I'm talking about, I gotta drive home, you

675
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: feel me? So I made a funked up decision to

676
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: do that, you know what I'm saying. So not only

677
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: when I did that, I put my friends, family and

678
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: the bo what I'm saying, I put my group in

679
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: a buying So it was it was bad. It was

680
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: a bad decision making on my part. You know what

681
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about to do that ship You know what

682
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean. So even though I made that drive plenty times,

683
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying from the club, you know

684
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, but doing just that time for

685
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: it happened to me, you know what I'm talking about,

686
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: because hey, ship is that then what it is? You

687
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: know I'm talking about. So I had to learn a

688
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: lot from that ship, you know what I'm talking about.

689
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: And I got a little that ship for the rest

690
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: of my life. And I got sons too, So it

691
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: was supposed to happen to me because I didn't die

692
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: at a time, you know what I'm saying. So it's

693
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: something for me to let my sons know and keep

694
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: teaching them about ship. Don't you gotta think first, man,

695
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: don't do no, don't make no stupid dumbass to see

696
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: to do ship like that I'm talking about. So it

697
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: impacted me a lot, brother, because I had to sit

698
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: down and reevaluate myself, you know I'm talking about. I mean,

699
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: I just shut down for a while. I just chucked

700
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,719

Speaker 1: the in stores and all that other stuff. You know

855
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. How it was before we get interact

856
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: with the teams. You're going from too, you go to

857
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: different city. Man, I'm just like, it's just not the

858
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: same no more. Have you all ever felt like that,

859
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: if you ever got at the point where y'all feel like, man,

860
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: this is way different now, I mean, you know what

861
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, it's what people don't understand that

862
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: we still we never stopped moving. So even after we did,

863
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, we started doing our solo albums um Cooljo

864
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: was still cool. You put out a book, could you

865
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: put out an album? Timo was still doing a lot

866
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: of stuff. I went it, did five years with Nelly,

867
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: low with It, did five years with Danger Mouse, you

868
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So we still was kind of

869
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: like in the mix of what was hot and what

870
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: wasn't hot, and we still was still kind of seeing

871
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: that the industry was changing because of the content, you know,

872
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: what I mean and what they were putting their money on,

873
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it was just a

874
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: different spin. When I got with Nearly and we did

875
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: a go out then eight, you know, so it was

876
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: still we were still over there. All of us are

877
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: still talking. So I felt like once we came back together,

878
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: and then once we low did the Boys, we did

879
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: a TV show on TVs. Then we did were the

880
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: first rap group to have a Vegan show. Low Low

881
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: Head the Vegan Show at Plane in Hollywood. So we

882
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 1: were still doing things. I just think that the industry

883
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: has just turned. They they head to the younger generation

884
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: because they know they could go like like we just said,

885
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: they can go pip the young when they exactly when

886
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: they see us. But we're still being able to be

887
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: here and still be able to be relevant without their help.

888
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: They shine them. That's the reason why they started paying

889
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,959
Speaker 1: these kids meals of dollars. So they wasn't this nus.

890
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: So if a kid a rived to see most of

891
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: these kids and they've reached, man like this ship, this

892
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: ship rich right here. Man, these kids sit right here

893
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: six eight million dollars and then there's a whole bunch

894
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: of you know what, I mean, and that streaming money.

895
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: If you got you to three lettle hot look hot

896
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: little songs on that stream and chick and some of

897
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: these kids can see two hundred three hundred four hundred

898
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a quarter. That's a stream of check. And

899
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, us coming from the nineties,

900
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: we don't even know what the stream and check look

901
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: like exactly. So it's like when the kids they love man,

902
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: we get knees off the street, we get millions all

903
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: god damn the deals, and we still think about the

904
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: You can look at love babes and example, he'd been

905
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: at the house the whole pandemic, right, he still made

906
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: nineteen million dollars in the pandemic and ain't been nowhere.

907
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: That's that's the difference. And that ship that US coming

908

913
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: everything we could teach them. But what they can't what

914
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: they don't know is hey, man, it's gonna slow down.

915
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: And when it slowed down, that's where you're gonna need

916
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: I not because when them folks get off you and

Speaker 1: put some ship. You know, you have to spend some money.

948
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: Go ahead, you know, to spend some money. Now these

Speaker 1: little niggas, man, they're going their cell phone and make it.

950
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,920

951
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: I said, what do you do this? She saw my

952
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: race on my sylphone. I said, girl, you know, I mean,

953
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: let's see a game. I wished they had some ship

954
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: the thing, you know, because you had to go out

955
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: and then you had to come to the studio back

956
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: and then with your there because you couldn't go in there,

957
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: suk off the whole bunch of times man at all

958
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: we go from the time, I'm gonna tell you r G,

959
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: I really I thought the game started changing was that

960
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: ring Tall ship started. When that ship started, That's when

961
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: I was like, the game changed. When Soldier boy did

962
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: what he did, I was like, wow, I understand that

963
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: boy still rich exactly. So when you look at some

964
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: of these when when the game went out of the street,

965
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: out of the promotional department, out of the street teams

966
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: that went to the this telephone digital ship, that's when

967
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: the ain't got treated. Because I'm looking at a lot

968
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: of people who popular them, and I'm like, damn, ain't

969
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: never heard one cargo down the street play their music

970
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: exactly the same ship? Like wan who riding down the

971
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: street playing that fastass ship? Or who rides down the

972
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: street playing I mean, can you see yourself like how

973
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: we used to do back in the days. Maybe you

974
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: roll down your window, you will hear somebody bumping some

975
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: goody mob about the car. You will hear nigga a

976
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of this ship. I'll be like, who playing that ship?

977
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: Because I don't hear this ship nowhere digital all digital.

978
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: They tell they tell me that they said, gift, it

979
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: ain't even about the radio. It's about the playlist. So

980
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: it ain't even about the radio no more. And and

981
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: another thing that these kids got that I love is

982
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: that they don't care about the awards. Them love trinkets

983
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 1: that they used to just put up in your face

984
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: and have you like, oh I gotta have at me.

985
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: You don't care noting about that. Man, give me the money,

986
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: man the money, gonna give me the money. Man, you

987
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: keep the trophes. When you look at a kid that

988
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: probably that comes from cou when you look at future

989
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: and look at what he had did, it's like, bro,

990
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: they don't care really nothing about that. Look at what Drake. Indeed,

991
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: when I look at how many men, I've never seen

992
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: an artist stay hot for teen years, right, I ain't

993
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: seen not like him. I've never seen not with the

994
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: different type of records. Here you're singing head here, you're

995
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: on the ghetto records, you're breaking new artists. It it's

996
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: just like this digital ship and gave a person who

997
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: not gonna sleep and advantage over another person that that's

998
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: still on nineties times so right now for us when

999
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: when it was, when this pandemic hit, it gave us

1000
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: a chance to get in the studio and be like

1001
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 1: how he was on the first album, ain't nobody moving

1002
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: out side. We can't go nowhere. We sat right there

1003
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: and we created Survivor in four months, no ghost writers,

1004
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: just organizing, nose us, no and ours put it out ourselves.

1005
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: And right now I feel like we're broken the ceiling

1006
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: for anybody from the night because for us right now

1007
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: to have a actual song out and it's on B

1008
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: T MTV and B T J L. Hey bro, they

1009
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: said we couldn't do that. They said it was impossible.

Speaker 1: um extinction um and a branch, you know what I'm saying,

1058
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: like from the same tree, you know, stemming from the

1059
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: same group. So it's all been an extension of don

1060
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: your family and what it enabled me to do, you

1061
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And so um you know, just

1062
01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: always you know trying to represent us the best uh

1063
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: represent our best interest, no mean like our ability. You know, um,

1064
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: I will reach our range and you know, stay connected

1065
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: to it, and that it means, let's stay attached to it.

1066
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: And I say this a lot. I feel like we

1067
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: was able to stretch without snapping, you know what I'm saying.

1068
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: So permit a testament to the elasticity of the understanding

1069
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, UM and equality. We had um as as

1070
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: a large collective. So you know, I had just always

1071
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: felt like it was just that time, you know, it

1072
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: represented that time of you know, that time period of

1073
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: growth to development. That's just where I was. But I

1074
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: had done I had done variations or smaller, smaller, smaller

1075
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: scales of it with just keeping the hooks and keep

1076
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: the melodies around. No different than what Nate did for

1077
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: death Row, you know what I'm saying. Like that's what

1078
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: I was liking it too, you know what I'm saying.

1079
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: So it was just a bit more expensive. I just

1080
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: um elaborated a bit on what I could do vocally

1081
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and melodically, you know what I'm saying. And it worked.

1082
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: But but the treatment was who different, no different because

1083
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: they didn't really know they didn't associate my history. That's

1084
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: why I was able to stay solid through it because

1085
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: I had the foundation. But for them, it's almost as

1086
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: if I fell out of the sky. I'm just another

1087
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: big black niggle that could saying with what's all? You

1088
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So they still celebrate that, uh

1089
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: in places that I that I did my baby um

1090
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: and places that I really translated and did well at,

1091
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: which was England and abroad. You know, I mean, like

1092
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: they celebrate soul music and black culture more than we do,

1093
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I was loved at

1094
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: and I was harald and revered and up and exhumsted

1095
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: as a genuine article the real thing, No mean lack

1096
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: of lack of um you know, like a loop of

1097
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: Evangelus or whomever, you know what I mean, Like uh,

1098
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, uh one of the yeah you know what

1099
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so right, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they gave

1100
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: me the world, gave me the greatest compliment, and you

1101
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: know I bought it on back home, like I took

1102
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: it as a as an adventurer and excursion, you know,

1103
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: a living experience, you know what I mean. Like we

1104
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: went on the roller poster ride and we came on

1105
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: back home. You know, I mean so like. It was

1106
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: never about me going anywhere to stay, you know what

1107
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It was about us going out uh as

1108
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: far as we can go and as high as we

1109
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: can go, planting our flag there numbers an't like you know, um,

1110
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: and claiming that's the victory, and coming on back home.

1111
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, right, I'm not a live big dog.

1112
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: You know how everybody put rumors out there, but ain't

1113
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: nobody talk to y'all. They just brought the goody mom

1114
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: got beef, they broke up. I don't even ask y'all

1115
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: about that stuff. Man? How did it all come back together? Bro?

01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I want to know. How did

1117
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,680

1121
01:03:55,640 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna contell you on to say we stayed in constant communication. Um.

1122
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know the true historyal account,

1123
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: but we our history dates back post dates before music.

1124
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Me and Timo grew up. We went to elementary school together.

1125
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Wa we went to nursery school together, Temos, about three

1126
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: years older than me. So those three gentlemen there, gift

1127
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: and people sus on that right there. Many graduated with

1128
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: my older sister, you know what I'm saying that Let's

1129
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: say me and under three thousand we went to elementary

1130
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: school together. So we've known each other literally all of

1131
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: our lives, you know what I'm saying. So, um, it

1132
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: wasn't easy for us to stay be connected. And like

1133
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's aboutther love, a lot of respect, a

1134
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of admiration, and I mean like and you know,

1135
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: no matter what we accomplished individual and that we remained teachable,

1136
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And so there's humility humility there.

1137
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: And you know we got Elmers, we got o g

1138
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: s and man like I think that's a I think

1139
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: that's a structure that's lacking for the younger generation. But

1140
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: HA them up. You know, like I going to get

1141
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: in a possession and I know I have sold you

1142
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: up for the set. And that's what you know, I mean, like,

1143
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: that's that's what I do. I mean mhm. So you know, um,

1144
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: we had we had we had differences because we're men,

1145
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: and one thing can default another, you know, because you

1146
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: can't do two things at once, you know, uh what

1147
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,919
Speaker 1: uh you know, you can't be two much at one time.

1148
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: So if my ambition was taken me here and there

1149
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: was a collective opportunity that that got defaulted, Yeah, that's

1150
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: there's friction, I mean, and that's that's frustration in that.

1151
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: But that's circumstantial. That's not personal, and it's definitely not

1152
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: malicious or or intentional, you know, in any kind of way.

1153
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So we ain't never get

1154
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: eva when you got talk on the bullshit I'm saying, like,

1155
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: because everything I got out in the world, I definitely

1156
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: tried to share to the best of my ability. And

1157
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the brother and the brothers can can't can't confirm that

1158
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you know, we were men that

1159
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 1: we artists. We got our own little egos, got our

1160
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: own little entilements, we got our own little you know,

1161
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 1: um ideas of what I think should go. We just

1162
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and it's difficult. It's even difficult to do because there

1163
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: are no more for man groups like this man we're

1164
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the lands going up left, I think true, exactly, you know,

1165
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it takes time to take it,

1166
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: take sacrifice and take and trust in the process. Man,

1167
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: But you know we're here, man, We're here. Man. You

1168
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: know I'm gona talking to ship yall today here. Man.

1169
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: It's it's just lovely that, like I'm saying, you know,

1170
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: coming from the era that I come from and y'all

1171
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: being a part of that, that we can show motherfucker's

1172
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: that we uh, you know that we can still stick

1173
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: together as grown men. And like you said, you know,

1174
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: you're a man, You're a man. You're gonna always have

1175
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: a stand ground and stand your ground and a point

1176
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: your own point of view. But you know, as brothers

1177
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: you're able to mend fences and ship and for the

1178
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: culture of you know, the the hip hop groups and

1179
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: and that longevity. You know, it's good to see y'all,

1180

Speaker 1: gonna fans, not gonna let you get away with it,

1182
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying. So it's like, damn, man,

1183
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: every time walking out my career, the first thing I

1184
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: see somebody that that recognized me. But man, y'all stilled

1185
