Speaker 1: Or get a cracker. Yeah, you know what, they do
Speaker 1: another episode of The Gangster Chronicles and I'm here with
Speaker 1: the home Boys, Big James still in the house, and
Speaker 1: we were having a discussion eight you know, before James
Speaker 1: came on. You got the catch Gunn in Atlanta facing
Speaker 1: Rico charges. You've got young thug facing Rico charges. And
Speaker 1: they said that they are going to use his lyrics
Speaker 1: against him. His lyrics. Um, you know, music videos and
Speaker 1: everything like that, you know, and a lot of this
Speaker 1: stuff is a rapper. I think you're just generally trying
Speaker 1: to tell stories about stuff that you've seen, stuff that
Speaker 1: you've heard just pretty much, you know, you're pretty much
Speaker 1: just making um, making tales of the hood, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, the neighborhood. They really starting to hold
Speaker 1: cats accountable for that. Now. Well, well, hey, ain't that
Speaker 1: freedom of speech when you I mean, like I said,
Speaker 1: like I was staying earlier. Um, I've told tales from
Speaker 1: the hood. Um, stuff that I've witnessed, stuff that I
Speaker 1: might have or might not have participated in. Um. But
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at it as as being
Speaker 1: on record or writing a book or doing a movie,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be freedom of speech. But I guess
Speaker 1: they're trying to associate this y s AL click Young
Speaker 1: Slime Life to criminal activities. You know, nigga's claiming the
Speaker 1: faction and then going out doing dirt. So now they're
Speaker 1: anybody who's tied to y s L, They're they're bringing
Speaker 1: them in. It happened to be one of the one
Speaker 1: or two of the you know rappers uh with Young
Speaker 1: Thug happens to be affiliated with YSL. So Um, freedom
Speaker 1: of speech has always been questioned because it seems to
Speaker 1: me only certain people can say what they want to say.
Speaker 1: Getting Yeah, I mean, that's just it. Um. You can
Speaker 1: try to use the defense of I'm just telling the tale.
Speaker 1: You get me just because I said on record the
Speaker 1: nigga got his wigs split and they used the draco
Speaker 1: and he got shot five times. You know, they're now
Speaker 1: trying to see if we probably had some murders where
Speaker 1: nigga got popped with a certain gun and got shot
Speaker 1: five times. So that's how they're trying to make connections
Speaker 1: as to you know, a nigga having freedom of speech
Speaker 1: and you can say fuck the police or fuck this
Speaker 1: or fuck that if you want to. Well, I see
Speaker 1: when they do it like like young Dog, like mo three.
Speaker 1: These catch is rapping about these murders and they actually happened.
Speaker 1: Then they're going back on social media and they're talking
Speaker 1: about it. So they put theirselves in the trick bag.
Speaker 1: Because the police surfed this ship here. They they watching
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. This is how they know what's
Speaker 1: going on with these dudes. So you basically put yourself
Speaker 1: in a situation every time you get on social media,
Speaker 1: every time you own a platform, doing something in your songs.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty much, you know, they thought that they're
Speaker 1: getting caught up like that because they're putting it out
Speaker 1: there to the world, letting them know how they're getting down.
Speaker 1: So that take away from freedom of speech. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and this is what they're saying. I guess.
Speaker 1: On May Knife Young Thug was arrest that at this crib.
Speaker 1: They came this crib and they had a fifty six
Speaker 1: count gang indictment. According to the indictment, the rapper and
Speaker 1: twenty seven other people, including Gunner, allegedly conspired to violate
Speaker 1: the Georgia Criminal Racketeering Law. The government claims that ys
Speaker 1: L Young Thugs rap collective and label also known as
Speaker 1: Young Stoner Life, is a criminal gang with ties to
Speaker 1: the National Bloods organization. Specifically, the twenty eight people named
Speaker 1: an indictment are all charged with conspiracy to violate the
Speaker 1: State's Raggeteer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act or RICO. That's
Speaker 1: Jordan's version of the federal law originally designed to fight
Speaker 1: organized crime. Under this statute, persecutors must prove that the
Speaker 1: defendants committed to least two specific offenses within the ten
Speaker 1: year period that were part of a raggeteering scheme. It
Speaker 1: found guilty. Penalty RICO include up to twenty years in prison,
Speaker 1: a monetary find or both. Young Thug is also charged
Speaker 1: with participating in the criminal street gang a state violations,
Speaker 1: also carrying a potential prison sentti the twenty years Gunna's charged.
Speaker 1: The only under RICO charges against others names in the
Speaker 1: indictment stand murder, attempted murder, robbery, assault, car jacking, and theft,
Speaker 1: along with possession of drugs and firearms. You know, with
Speaker 1: Young Thug, the prosecutors claim he co founded y sl
Speaker 1: See this is the set of President right here. Because
Speaker 1: what they're doing that sounds like a rap crew. Young
Speaker 1: Slime Life you know, you got we may have a
Speaker 1: rap crew called the Gangster Chronicles Life or whatever. That
Speaker 1: don't mean we out there committing crimes. That's just the
Speaker 1: name of a crew. But but they're doing is they're
Speaker 1: using all this stuff too pretty much put people in
Speaker 1: the Greeks. What they're doing is when they see that
Speaker 1: type of activity, they put a task force on it
Speaker 1: and down they're watching them. Now, they're tapping them. Now
Speaker 1: they see that he might be supplying the hood. And
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this one time before eight
Speaker 1: when you was in the hood and niggas's accent, YadA YadA.
Speaker 1: But no, I ain't getting down like that. I'm I mean,
Speaker 1: you're making money. So these guys believe that when when
Speaker 1: when you out of here and you you get successful
Speaker 1: and making a lot of money, you supplying the hood
Speaker 1: with weapons, drugs and all this other ship speaking of
Speaker 1: the police. So now they got a task force on you.
Speaker 1: Now they're linking you to all different types of ship.
Speaker 1: You don't just go get twenty eight motherfuckers and say
Speaker 1: y'all working together. It just don't happen like that. So
Speaker 1: they're watching these cats, they're looking at these videos and
Speaker 1: they dissecting that ship. So now we got a problem,
Speaker 1: am I right, I'm a I'm all right, No, you
Speaker 1: have a you have a huge problem, because this is
Speaker 1: what I think right here, right, they're telling these cats
Speaker 1: pretty much, let's say they got a homeboy. You know,
Speaker 1: all their homeboys ain't rappers, right, if they got any homeboy,
Speaker 1: it might be just one cat in the neighborhood. They're
Speaker 1: selling dope, you know, it might be selling a little
Speaker 1: bit of weak. Because we ain't legal on the national level.
Speaker 1: They're still locking people up in Georgia behind marijuana. So
Speaker 1: if you got a home be up at this pushing
Speaker 1: a few pounds of weed, probably on shout a couple
Speaker 1: of niggas. All of that stuff spans under that one organization,
Speaker 1: so you don't really have nothing to do with them.
Speaker 1: Uh and gonna it's whatever, homies, they got this doing
Speaker 1: something wrong. Whatever. And that's what I explained to my key,
Speaker 1: is like you're quite explaining to your sons. The company
Speaker 1: you keep can get you through when the grease is well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the motherfucker yeah, And that's what it is. But the
Speaker 1: moment they start locking up to see eight, you had
Speaker 1: some pretty profound lyrics back in the day so show.
Speaker 1: And if they start really and this ain't the first time.
Speaker 1: Remember we had Macminister on the show. I think they
Speaker 1: used this song his rap lyrics to kind of throw him,
Speaker 1: you know, to indict him on murder too. If they
Speaker 1: start doing this, eight's to stop them from going to
Speaker 1: go dig up your old archives and digging up old
Speaker 1: because they ain't no um. It ain't no um statue
Speaker 1: with limitations on the body. Now, I'm I'm to see
Speaker 1: that was the thing about me when I wrote songs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I might have participated in a little corner slanging, you know,
Speaker 1: And of course I told it me a strap and
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm not gonna turn around and and
Speaker 1: go killing nigga last night and then turn around and
Speaker 1: right a rapt today and put it out on a
Speaker 1: record that's not for one of them. I'm I know
Speaker 1: enough and and seen and then in and no niggas
Speaker 1: who pulled dry byes and killed niggas and shot niggas
Speaker 1: that I can come up with tails from the hood.
Speaker 1: You get me. But I'm not dumb enough to know.
Speaker 1: Last night I went motherfucking sold two keyloads of motherfucking
Speaker 1: dope and tomorrow I'm gonna put it on record and
Speaker 1: rap about it. Or last night I hooked up with
Speaker 1: so and so and I had to shoot a nigga
Speaker 1: because he was coming at me with the faux fIF
Speaker 1: and woomthy womb knowing I carry a forty five around.
Speaker 1: And last night I got into it with a nigga
Speaker 1: over some dope and I had to shoot him. It's
Speaker 1: just but but but the youth today, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to say all but some want to prove that
Speaker 1: I'm that motherfucker that I'm talking about. You get me,
Speaker 1: So I don't just want to hypothetically tell you a
Speaker 1: tale from the hood when I'm saying that nigga's we
Speaker 1: ran up on nigga's ski mask and I dumped on
Speaker 1: nigga woomthy womb. These young niggas is doing that ship
Speaker 1: and then they're going to the studio and they're rapping
Speaker 1: about it. They're not thinking, I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if if if they're so naive to think like, oh,
Speaker 1: they can't use that ship against me. It's just a record. No,
Speaker 1: but you're telling you're talking about a criminal activity that
Speaker 1: really happened that the one times is investigating, and if
Speaker 1: I could go grab your stone and play it and
Speaker 1: hear you describe to the t of what the funk
Speaker 1: I'm investigating, I'm gonna come get your dumb ass and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the song up in court and go,
Speaker 1: look a nigga was shot and killed with a forty five.
Speaker 1: This nigga on his record said I shot and killed
Speaker 1: the nigga with a forty five. You get me. That's
Speaker 1: the dumbness of it, instead of hypothetically like you know,
Speaker 1: some niggas came through and you know you can't put
Speaker 1: yourself in that. Even in that arena. We can go
Speaker 1: rap about something else, go go rap about something else,
Speaker 1: but don't have the balls in the audacity to go
Speaker 1: out commit a crime last night and then run to
Speaker 1: the studio and go, yeah, we just came off a
Speaker 1: hundred and something something street and we had the draco
Speaker 1: and the nigga jumped out and shot two niggas and
Speaker 1: you at the studio making the songs about it, and
Speaker 1: like I said, that's the young that's the young ship, though, James,
Speaker 1: you feel me, because the old ass nigga ain't gonna
Speaker 1: pull no ship like that. First of all, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna take a nigga with me if I go go
Speaker 1: do some ship. So there's what I don't know what
Speaker 1: the funk is going on, Okay. And the second of all,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna be dumb enough to get on fucking
Speaker 1: record and start rapping about some ship I just pulled
Speaker 1: three hours ago. It's like a nigga papa nigga and
Speaker 1: then go let's go to the studio and make it
Speaker 1: so good, right. And the cold thing about it is
Speaker 1: when you go to court, the jury don't know you.
Speaker 1: The jury really don't know this gang like you really
Speaker 1: don't know this wrap life, and automatically they as soon
Speaker 1: you're guilty anyway because they don't understand it. But all
Speaker 1: they hear is what you're saying in these songs, man,
Speaker 1: and they find you guilty because, like I said, the
Speaker 1: majority of the white people don't live this world, don't
Speaker 1: live this life. And you're guilty already if you're trying
Speaker 1: to go you're trying to go to court against a
Speaker 1: motherfucker who's still mad at Snoop Dogg and niggas for
Speaker 1: saying bitch on record thirty years ago. You get me,
Speaker 1: and then you want to get in to stand what
Speaker 1: a motherfucker talking about. You popped the nigga forty five
Speaker 1: and killed tean and I did this and we jumped
Speaker 1: out on the nigga wound, and you think you're gonna
Speaker 1: get man. Man, Please no, because you know you can
Speaker 1: sell as much dope as you want to on a record,
Speaker 1: right and it may have been some stuff you was
Speaker 1: doing fifteen, twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, so
Speaker 1: they can bring that back up on you. But when
Speaker 1: you talk about taking a life years old and somebody
Speaker 1: it's ever especially if you're damn mass go to the
Speaker 1: studio or rap about it. Like I said, hypoth hypothetically
Speaker 1: telling the tale from the hood. I mean we've lost
Speaker 1: the tales from the hood. You know a nigga who
Speaker 1: does shot the nigga. I know a nigga who does
Speaker 1: shot a nigga. I know a nigga who got his
Speaker 1: ass beat by the police. I know it nigga who
Speaker 1: was selling dope. Nigga. That's aw hypothetical ship, that's tells
Speaker 1: from the hood. Let me tell you what happened to
Speaker 1: the homie who sold dope and got caught. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you that what happened to the homie who did
Speaker 1: a drive by and got caught. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: what happened to the nigga who did this. You get
Speaker 1: me to do that all day, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, nigga, we hit the block nigga with
Speaker 1: the Fox five and shot two niggas and one got
Speaker 1: rookie whoop and his name was Teddy ted nigga and
Speaker 1: block Block Blop and your homeboy little Fred got killed.
Speaker 1: That the bus stop and moved people that ship is
Speaker 1: taking it to before and then nick that nigga rapping
Speaker 1: a lot. You know what I'm saying. For nigga who
Speaker 1: just supposed to be a rapper, You showed telling a
Speaker 1: lot of in detail ship about a situation that happened
Speaker 1: a month ago exactly. Now this is what threw him
Speaker 1: in the grease, I guess. In January two thousand and fifteen,
Speaker 1: the um young man Donovan Thomas Jr. Was shot in
Speaker 1: the Atlanta barbershop and a suspected drive by shooting five
Speaker 1: of young thugs alleged WI Sales associates, including another wire
Speaker 1: cl rapper, yet Gotti, whose real name is the Diamante
Speaker 1: Kendrick are now charged with Thomas's murder. Yet Gotti and
Speaker 1: the four the People are also charged with the attempt
Speaker 1: to murder two others three days before the Legs murdered.
Speaker 1: The indictment asserts young Thugs rented the Silver Infinity sdan
Speaker 1: that was used in the killing. The indictment claims that
Speaker 1: Thomas was a rival gang member. Now see young Thugs
Speaker 1: involved in the conspiracy. Now he might have really rented
Speaker 1: that car. Doubt young thug is dumb enough to say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go rent a car and y'all you have
Speaker 1: to go shoot this nigga. It sounds like he was
Speaker 1: giving one of his little rappers, one of his little
Speaker 1: proteges or whatever, one of his little hangers on the
Speaker 1: car that he was driving. He would and killed him again.
Speaker 1: So now that automatically in dykes, young thug in it.
Speaker 1: Now this is where the difficulty is gonna come in
Speaker 1: on this. At right, young thug is making a lot
Speaker 1: of money right now, Gunn is making a lot of money.
Speaker 1: He's looky is He's making millions of dollars? Dog, Do
Speaker 1: you think he's going to want to leave that lifestyle
Speaker 1: to go take one for the team? No? I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: But I mean the way they think today, they've proven
Speaker 1: that they with it. They're proven that they down with
Speaker 1: the circle they hang with. Show you get caught up
Speaker 1: at the end of the day because you ain't thinking,
Speaker 1: You ain't thinking about that ship. You just the home.
Speaker 1: You just see you with it, You rent it, goddamn card,
Speaker 1: and then somebody get killed. That motherfucker's on your in
Speaker 1: your name, give me my association as a motherfucker. But
Speaker 1: you don't want to get caught up like that. So
Speaker 1: why would the little honies putting in a situation like that?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, that's some that's some cold
Speaker 1: ship right there. Now he can lose the rest of
Speaker 1: his life. Money don't matter if you're in the penitentiary,
Speaker 1: but the rest of your now, no, I damn should don't.
Speaker 1: Now you remember the look of the cat that's from
Speaker 1: down there, from Atlanta, the YF and Lucie cat. Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know he got his own charts. He's in jail
Speaker 1: right now. You know he's in jail because his own
Speaker 1: reco indictment. Right they're saying that the UM I guess
Speaker 1: young Thugs crew stabbed him, had him shanked or whatever
Speaker 1: like that. So they're bringing up all this right now. Bro.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you between social media rappers, do
Speaker 1: you know how many times I kind of the other
Speaker 1: day how many times I heard somebody threatened people's life online.
Speaker 1: I kind of one day and I heard like seventy
Speaker 1: five threats that can really get somebody locked up. People
Speaker 1: online telling people I'm not tripping on him. I killers dude,
Speaker 1: I kill that person. When did that start becoming so prevalent?
Speaker 1: When do people start really talking about what they planned
Speaker 1: to do? Were in crazy times? Right now? Bro, people
Speaker 1: been talking about what they did due to a motherfucker
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the time. Though it's nothing new.
Speaker 1: Now they're just speaking out on this ship, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And it hasn't been escalated to the
Speaker 1: fact that social media, Uh you know, it escalates a
Speaker 1: lot of ship. You know what I'm saying, because, yeah,
Speaker 1: nig I'll be at the house, you know, man, I
Speaker 1: heard only they got problem and I'll shoot the I

Speaker 1: nigga your grandma telling nigga, I shoot that motherfucker. I
Speaker 1: ain't worried about their motherfucker's. I shoot the motherfucker's so
Speaker 1: like you said, it's being it's just now that it's

Speaker 1: it's so glorified now. It's like social media glorifies everything.
Speaker 1: It glorifies. Why do you think social media allows us
Speaker 1: to get on these platforms and just speak free like that,
Speaker 1: because now they use this as a tool for the police,
Speaker 1: use this ship as a tool to come and get
Speaker 1: your motherfucker's. How can you be on the motherfucking run?

Speaker 1: crazy for motherfucker's who just want to sit down and
Speaker 1: get ready to eat and they just want to start
Speaker 1: taking pictures of their food and posting it because like

Speaker 1: I want I want motherfucker's no that I strangled eighty bitches,
Speaker 1: and you get me, and I want them to broadcast it,
Speaker 1: and I want you to fucking I want you to
Speaker 1: broadcast my manifesto and ship like that, like you killed
Speaker 1: eighty motherfucker's and you want to be a Hollywood star
Speaker 1: like it's the craziness behind it because some of us
Speaker 1: come from the era of I want my ship to
Speaker 1: be quiet on the set. Yeah, I don't want the
Speaker 1: motherfucker to know where I live. I don't want the
Speaker 1: motherfucker to know what I got, what I do, none
Speaker 1: of that. Fuck it. If you want to think I'm
Speaker 1: broke as a motherfucking joke, ain't it. If you want
Speaker 1: to think I'm a bum and I got nothing and
Speaker 1: I'm broke and I'm living off of welfare and all that,
Speaker 1: that means, that means you don't know a goddamn thing
Speaker 1: about me, And I love it. You give me. I've
Speaker 1: never been a nigger who wanted to be like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm from the center. Yeah that's me. I'm over here
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow I'm over here, and then next week
Speaker 1: I'm over here, and then we got this, and then
Speaker 1: we're doing this, and I got all of this, and
Speaker 1: I got stacks to this and just hey, everybody, look
Speaker 1: at me. I never want to be that dude. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Now listen to this and this all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: So this means that they gotta be taping these cats, right,
Speaker 1: because I guess. On February, two other young thugs other
Speaker 1: associates discuss how to get young thugs permission for a
Speaker 1: second murder attempt on the incarcerated wife and Lucy. The
Speaker 1: indictment is one of the two wives. The other associates
Speaker 1: sought young things permission to murder wife and Lucci, and
Speaker 1: then they got another one where they attempted murder on
Speaker 1: the Atlanta police officer. See these dudes is in the
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff man. First of all, who go
Speaker 1: out plot and he hits the murdering officer. Like I said,
Speaker 1: it's been from the beginning of the time, Bro, It's
Speaker 1: just different. Now they're broadcasting and ship. They're putting it
Speaker 1: out on this ship. It's different now, but back then,
Speaker 1: same ship. It ain't the first time motherfucker talked about
Speaker 1: hitting the police officer or whatever. But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: the way they conduct business today is fucked up. It's
Speaker 1: fucked up. So you know, that's one thing about ship.
Speaker 1: Shoot would change his phone number every goddamn week. He
Speaker 1: wouldn't change phone because he knew their motherfucker's that when
Speaker 1: they was investigating death roll, you knew. So it's a
Speaker 1: certain way to be. But you can't quit what you're doing.
Speaker 1: What you gotta tighten it up a little bit. The
Speaker 1: average Joe couldn't call so you can talk about no
Speaker 1: streets ship. So these dudes are just careless man, These
Speaker 1: little cats out here loving the world, living it, running
Speaker 1: around here taking pictures with stacks of money. I just
Speaker 1: goddamn phone and the females is feeding off of that ship,
Speaker 1: and they just loving the ship. They loving attention. They
Speaker 1: want the whole world to know, you know, a rich
Speaker 1: motherfucker ain't gonna show you a rich I think it's
Speaker 1: just it's just the ego of the generation of what's
Speaker 1: you know, what's what's trying, what's controlling As far as
Speaker 1: what we know is hip hopping in that in that
Speaker 1: in that side, you know, the youth control a lot

Speaker 1: lot of ship that that are growing. Motherfucking teenager and
Speaker 1: kid fantasize about fantasize about having you know, uh, it's
Speaker 1: a dream to wear fucking thirty platinum change with diamonds
Speaker 1: and you know, ride around and rolls races with guns

Speaker 1: fucking seventeen year old son. He loved that ship. You know,
Speaker 1: I want what if I'm taking him to football practice
Speaker 1: or school or whatever. All he playing is Papa Nicka,
Speaker 1: Papa Nicka. I got a shot at nigga dropping nicka
Speaker 1: fucking nigga up. Then I tell your bitch, fuck that bitch,

Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I just sit there and listen
Speaker 1: to it because it's what it's what's it's what's ruling
Speaker 1: right now. It's what's ruling. So try to explain to
Speaker 1: him the music and the lifestyle he listening to. The
Speaker 1: song he glorifying can potentially be a problem for him.
Speaker 1: If he liking it like that, one day he might
Speaker 1: be in a situation that type of ship pop in
Speaker 1: your head what you should do when you in a situation.
Speaker 1: So you gotta explain to him that, man, these guys
Speaker 1: are just rapping. These guys most guys ain't real gangsters
Speaker 1: that rapp Let's see. It's it's crazy because the dudes
Speaker 1: you're talking about are getting indicted and they're in prison
Speaker 1: and they're just getting let out of prison. And they
Speaker 1: that's all he listened to. He listens to he loves,
Speaker 1: he loves some NBA young boy, and we know that
Speaker 1: that that that that little that that that's my son
Speaker 1: right there. He's been through some some some a lot
Speaker 1: of ship, you know, the fads, d O J and
Speaker 1: all this ship he rapping about and he in to
Speaker 1: it with everybody and nigga. Every other song is I
Speaker 1: shot a nigga, shot a nigga, popa nigga, popa nigga,
Speaker 1: fucking nigga, nigga. I don't like this nigga, I don't
Speaker 1: like this, and he named niggas by name, Fuck this, nigga,
Speaker 1: fu this nigga, Fuck this nigga. And my son we
Speaker 1: rode the school in the morning and that's it with
Speaker 1: he with this time for football practice. That's what he playing.
Speaker 1: I shouted, Nigga, I shot at nigga, popa nigga, fucking nigga,
Speaker 1: Nigga got dumper, Nigga killing nigga. Don't run upon me.
Speaker 1: I hit you with that this, and I hit you
Speaker 1: with that that, and I just look at him and
Speaker 1: I pay attention to the music. But then I think
Speaker 1: my son knows that if any situation came down, I
Speaker 1: think he knows I would take the blunt of a
Speaker 1: lot of ship, so he doesn't have to put himself
Speaker 1: in a situation that the music might influence him to
Speaker 1: get into some stupid ship, because I think he already
Speaker 1: know any stupid ship that came his way, I would
Speaker 1: me take the blunt of it. All right, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read some rap lyrics back Knees from nine and
Speaker 1: ninety three. I believe I want to know if these
Speaker 1: rap lyrics get you and died at the day, I'm
Speaker 1: in too deep. I don't kill the motherfucker, and I
Speaker 1: just can't sleep. One time is trying to do a
Speaker 1: smooth creek, and on top of that, Nigga's after me
Speaker 1: for fucking one of the hood rats. I ain't got
Speaker 1: time for the fucking bitch story. Niggas want me gotta
Speaker 1: come in my territory, and they know you can get
Speaker 1: the fist niggas coming, they go get done in their
Speaker 1: own risk. What is it all about? Should I leave it?
Speaker 1: Should I stay because I don't want to punk out?
Speaker 1: Or what should I do? The homely stay the hoods
Speaker 1: where it's good? Homeboy? I thought you knew so in
Speaker 1: the process to show the hood my best. No time
Speaker 1: to react. Caught too in the chest. Now who's looking down?
Speaker 1: I guess I'm finished. I'm going out like a straight
Speaker 1: up minute. Yeah, Okay. Those lyrics basically are speaking to
Speaker 1: you in the hype up that to conform if you see,
Speaker 1: if you if you look at if you listen to it,
Speaker 1: none of those lyrics actually tell you yesterday we went
Speaker 1: and killed the nigga, or it doesn't name a specific situation. Okay,
Speaker 1: we popped the nigga with a with an a K
Speaker 1: on this block. Your homie from six five got killed
Speaker 1: with the motherfucking you get me. It's a difference. And
Speaker 1: then the way the story is like it's being like
Speaker 1: a story being told, is that I'm trying to show you.
Speaker 1: And then it's already being mapped out because it's from
Speaker 1: a movie and a story that I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 1: So it's a hypothetical it's the thought process that I'm
Speaker 1: trying to wrap to you in the thinking or in
Speaker 1: the form of what a nigga in that situation might do.
Speaker 1: You feel me, I'm not actually trying to pump up
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm beefing with a nigga. I'm basically
Speaker 1: telling you a hypothetical story. You know why, because you
Speaker 1: just got through watching this movie. You just got to
Speaker 1: watching this movie. So now I'm trying to put you
Speaker 1: in the sense of this character from this movie and
Speaker 1: what he's having to go through living in this lifestyle.
Speaker 1: You get me, so that it's a difference of as
Speaker 1: far as what you're saying today. Niggas ain't on phones
Speaker 1: talking about me wrinten cars and I'm going to do
Speaker 1: dry bis. You get me. Niggas ain't no niggas in
Speaker 1: my lyrics. Uh, when I'm saying I can't sleep, I
Speaker 1: have killed the motherfucker. That's the hypothetical movie I'm building because,
Speaker 1: like I said, you just watched this movie, okay, And
Speaker 1: as a sense of la last week a nigger that
Speaker 1: we got beef that that I'm gonna put it in
Speaker 1: a hypothetical like this, me and another rapper is beefing, right,
Speaker 1: mm hmm. This other rapper gets shot last week. I
Speaker 1: put out a song today describing this rapper getting shot
Speaker 1: to a t and then you catch the niggas on
Speaker 1: the phone talking about how eight sent us to shoot
Speaker 1: this rapper. Yeah, they're gonna they can indict me for
Speaker 1: the lyrics all day. Yeah, you know what, it was crazy.
Speaker 1: The reason I bought up that song eight is because
Speaker 1: I know it's talking about a movie, right, But was
Speaker 1: dangerous is about the day, is that a different attorney
Speaker 1: can get a hero of parass or his ass. Look
Speaker 1: at you and go to the song that you wrote
Speaker 1: that you might just be talking about some ships you
Speaker 1: don't sing, and the just using your imagination as an artist,
Speaker 1: and then you can actually probably tie you with some
Speaker 1: ship dog. Yeah. But then I got the evidence to
Speaker 1: go back and go watch the movie. I'm described all now.
Speaker 1: If that movie had never happened, then you're talking a
Speaker 1: different story. Because if I get on record and tell
Speaker 1: you I didn't kill the nigga last night, and I
Speaker 1: can't sleep and Woopy wound and comes to find out
Speaker 1: a nigga got killed last night. Even if that song
Speaker 1: was in the eighties, if you played that song today
Speaker 1: with the technology and all this ship, these taskboards, they're
Speaker 1: gonna look into it. I'm going to if I'm living
Speaker 1: that lifestyle and I'm claiming that I'm still this active
Speaker 1: ass nigga, and I have the and I have the
Speaker 1: balls to put on this record that last that I
Speaker 1: can't sleep because I didn't killed the motherfucking the one
Speaker 1: time was creeping on me. Of course, I gotta know
Speaker 1: that they're gonna listen to this song you give me.
Speaker 1: That's the dumb ship behind it, because knowing they're looking
Speaker 1: at me, you give me, I already know. You can't
Speaker 1: be that still like that. That's the beauty of this ship.
Speaker 1: You can't be that dumb to know you're not getting watched.
Speaker 1: Can you be that fucking stupid and naive to know
Speaker 1: that you don't pull some ship and you're not getting watched?
Speaker 1: But you still I don't think these young cats know
Speaker 1: that the police got a task for task force with
Speaker 1: maybe twelve motherfuckers sitting at the desk, going through YouTube,
Speaker 1: going through Facebook and just searching and serving these dudes.
Speaker 1: Once they see one thing, that's just like the task
Speaker 1: force that that can fun with the Taliban that knows
Speaker 1: um when when terracest is coming to the United States,
Speaker 1: you broke fouled. So once they put you in that data,
Speaker 1: everything that you say, potentially for anything pretending to killing,
Speaker 1: raping or whatever, it's gonna pop up. Now they own you.
Speaker 1: Come on, they've been doing this ship from the beginning
Speaker 1: of the time. They've been doing this ship, so it's
Speaker 1: not brand new, and these young cats don't know that
Speaker 1: they're doing this just because if if, if, if I'm
Speaker 1: still active in the drug game, do I want to
Speaker 1: make records about me selling drugs? Probably not, it's something
Speaker 1: to talk about it. And that's what they're doing. You
Speaker 1: get me because like like like you said, in this
Speaker 1: day and age, with technology, you're making it simple for motherfucker.
Speaker 1: You get me making a simple for him. I could
Speaker 1: kick back as a motherfucking one right now, just sit
Speaker 1: up on Instagram and go through my whole neighborhood of
Speaker 1: where I'm patrolling, because all these niggas got Facebook and
Speaker 1: Instagram pages, and one of these niggas gonna slip up.
Speaker 1: Somebody gonna be showing the pistol. Somebody's gonna do a
Speaker 1: video showing the pistol. Somebody gonna do a video showing
Speaker 1: some dope or some ship. They're making it easy. So
Speaker 1: if you put yourself in them situations like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: ship nowadays, we used to fight that ship. Oh, you
Speaker 1: can't use that ship. I'm just wrapping thirty years ago.
Speaker 1: You can't use the fact that I was talking about
Speaker 1: a nigga getting killed and then now you've got three
Speaker 1: young kids who went out and killed the motherfucker because
Speaker 1: they say, remember, oh, I killed the nigga because I
Speaker 1: was listening to eight or I was listening to Tupacle,
Speaker 1: I was listening to the scar face and they told
Speaker 1: me you had a popper motherfucker before he popped you.
Speaker 1: So I popped the motherfucker. You didn't the first forty
Speaker 1: eight And I said, just all these your cats, look
Speaker 1: at the first fourty year hours. That's how they're getting them.
Speaker 1: They probably know who you are. All they do is
Speaker 1: go to your Facebook page, look at you and see
Speaker 1: all this ship, guns and everything else, and they come
Speaker 1: get you. Yeah, they don't even got to know your name.
Speaker 1: What's the nicke street name. What's his nickname? Oh, his
Speaker 1: name is Little something something. They go right up, pull
Speaker 1: up Little something something. They go through your ships grow
Speaker 1: and then black. Look is that a full five he got?
Speaker 1: Is that an a K forty seven right there? Is that?
Speaker 1: What was the murder weapon used in the cald Oh
Speaker 1: it was what it was a Fox five and the
Speaker 1: a K. Look, there's the two murder weapons right there.
Speaker 1: They make it so sick. And like I said, everybody
Speaker 1: nowadays is a rapper, right so, all you gotta do
Speaker 1: is go to Facebook or Instagram. One of them got
Speaker 1: a YouTube page. You're gonna go to YouTube. You're gonna
Speaker 1: pull up the video and then they describe in the
Speaker 1: whole murder right there. We pulled up in that thing.
Speaker 1: We jumped out with that thing. We hit that nigga
Speaker 1: with the They even describing the murder web with that
Speaker 1: photy coal and that too three or that drake go
Speaker 1: or that WOOTI womb. You even telling what pistol you used.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like sometimes you like with the new
Speaker 1: rappers the day that that you played a big part
Speaker 1: in these cats wrapping the way they wrapped, because your
Speaker 1: wrapper is totally different. The way you do it is
Speaker 1: totally different the way uh Ice team. I used to
Speaker 1: wrap all right now, because rap rap wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: rapper what I rap wasn't around. So what are you
Speaker 1: gonna say then that influenced you the gang bang and
Speaker 1: carry your rag in a strap and claim your neighborhood
Speaker 1: and all that, Because it wasn't Wrapped that made me
Speaker 1: want to do that ship. Well, it's not just Rapper's movies.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys no matter that. It
Speaker 1: wasn't a movie that made me want to claim the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: It was the niggas I saw every day on the
Speaker 1: block getting money and what I went through as a
Speaker 1: as a kid whose mom struggled, who didn't have a
Speaker 1: father around, no older siblings to guide me in the
Speaker 1: right direction. I didn't see no movies about black niggas
Speaker 1: gang banging or motherfucker's whatever. I saw that ship on
Speaker 1: the block every day when my mama took us to school,
Speaker 1: and I saw niggas out there with fresh ail caminos
Speaker 1: and Dayton's and motherfucking bitches and all that. That's what
Speaker 1: influenced me to gang banging. It wasn't a movie or
Speaker 1: it was what I saw every day and waking waking
Speaker 1: up like damn, man, damn, you give me that. That's
Speaker 1: what made me want to turn it. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: record or a movie I saw or none of that,
Speaker 1: because to me, that's it would make believe. You get
Speaker 1: me records and fucking TV and movie. That's was make believe.
Speaker 1: I could stand out on my porch right now, look
Speaker 1: two houses down and see the freshest new cars. Could
Speaker 1: I'm talking about nigga. I grew up in Spooktown, so motherfucker,
Speaker 1: the nigga's over there had that nigga. It was on
Speaker 1: and cracking. So I got to see ship and that
Speaker 1: was influenced me to won't be game banging, sell dope
Speaker 1: now wrapping made me want to be a rapper. Limousines
Speaker 1: and fat gold chains. I didn't think that ship was
Speaker 1: gonna come. I don't know. I didn't cross the two.
Speaker 1: Maybe I was too young, but I didn't cross the
Speaker 1: two as that coming from the dope ship. I looked
Speaker 1: at that. That's coming from being a rapper. So I
Speaker 1: wanted to start making records. It didn't influence me because
Speaker 1: I was already game banging when the music ship started,
Speaker 1: you get me, So I felt like I need to
Speaker 1: tell tales about the neighborhood because I don't know shit else.
Speaker 1: You get me. I didn't know nothing about party in
Speaker 1: or you know, growing up like the Fresh Prints or
Speaker 1: wrapping like Young MC or Tone Local. It was just party, party,
Speaker 1: let's have fun modele nah because all my block niggas
Speaker 1: was coming through shooting every day. When I grew up
Speaker 1: at niggas was selling crack, making money. So that's all
Speaker 1: I knew the rap about. I didn't know how to
Speaker 1: rap about. You know, a party tonight over here, grab
Speaker 1: you a girl and LISZT dancers. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I knew that tonight somebody canna come down the street
Speaker 1: and blast, or tonight somebody gonna go down to jail
Speaker 1: because they got dope on the corner, or tonight somebody
Speaker 1: finna get killed or that's all. That's how I started
Speaker 1: rapping because I just saw a ship that went on
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood every day, and at that time, for
Speaker 1: us on the West Ols, that's what our music was.
Speaker 1: So I didn't get influenced by that. But being me
Speaker 1: and then being a kid in another state like a
Speaker 1: Texas or Kansas or whatever, and listen to m C
Speaker 1: eight on record and m C A talk about how
Speaker 1: you know Compton it is and they was cripping and
Speaker 1: blood and niggas was selling dope. Yeah, I might be
Speaker 1: influenced by that ship a kid from who who just
Speaker 1: from out of town, And yeah, m C A might
Speaker 1: influence me to start gang banging because I'm looking at
Speaker 1: his videos and khaki suits and seeing low riders and
Speaker 1: ship like that. That ship might influence me to gang
Speaker 1: bang and pick up a strap and start claiming the
Speaker 1: neighborhood I ain't never been from. Because influences a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: You're right, you know. I think these guys got a
Speaker 1: big roblem when when they make money, they think they
Speaker 1: got to go back to the to the neighborhood and
Speaker 1: show the homies that they made it. I don't see
Speaker 1: why you'll be worth twenty million and think that you
Speaker 1: gotta go back to the hood. Twenty million means you
Speaker 1: made it out of the hood. You you made it
Speaker 1: out of the struggle some niggas, James, But can you
Speaker 1: answer this, do you feel that some niggas were never
Speaker 1: that from the hood and these niggas go off and
Speaker 1: make the twenty thirty million, and then they want to
Speaker 1: come back and prove that they are significant from the
Speaker 1: hood because they got money and fame. Now, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean we have certain individuals in our neighborhood that made
Speaker 1: it and come back to the hood. See, it's different,
Speaker 1: it's different levels to to being in the hood. You
Speaker 1: got the game, since you got the shooters, you got
Speaker 1: the good dresses, you got the the homies that know
Speaker 1: how to sell dope and say any money is different
Speaker 1: shipped to it. You got those that that wasn't with
Speaker 1: it, it it ain't about it, but wanted to live the
Speaker 1: life of the big homie because I respect it. So
Speaker 1: by coming back to the hood you got money, everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna respect you because they want to be around you
Speaker 1: because they know what's worth. They know what they know
Speaker 1: you're worth. And there now you you giving and help
Speaker 1: and everybody. But what they got to realize is that
Speaker 1: day you stop looking out for one homie, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be mad. Now he's plotingum. And they don't understand that part.
Speaker 1: I don't think I can make or be worth thirty
Speaker 1: million and go back to the hood, to the hood
Speaker 1: and get into that type of activity. Uh, because it
Speaker 1: only takes one person to say all the big homie
Speaker 1: he buying all the homies, guns, all the homies, you're
Speaker 1: prying all the dope. This is how these catches getting
Speaker 1: caught up because they want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the hood, and you know should be told the hood
Speaker 1: is all we got. You know what I'm saying. If
Speaker 1: I struggled and I went through it and I did
Speaker 1: my time in prison, I don't owe nobody nothing. I
Speaker 1: don't old the hood nothing, so I don't have to.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I gotta go back to the
Speaker 1: hood to prove to them and they got still got yall.
Speaker 1: What was unia is that when I was in prison,
Speaker 1: nobody sent me no money, but I think I got
Speaker 1: to be there. Yeah. A lot of diggers. A lot
Speaker 1: of diggers don't want that question you did you get me, James.
Speaker 1: A lot of niggas don't want that question of how
Speaker 1: uh how valuable they were to the So a lot
Speaker 1: of niggas go back to buy that motherfucking uh that
Speaker 1: that that authentication you did me? Uh. A lot of niggas,
Speaker 1: like you said, for a nigga who felt like I
Speaker 1: paid my dues, and I don't want nobody ship, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go where I go. If I move out
Speaker 1: the hood, I'm gonna set up and I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: something I don't feel like. I gotta come back and
Speaker 1: toss money and buy dope and gun because that's what
Speaker 1: the level becomes anyway. You know it ain'tbody can nigga
Speaker 1: tell you, nigga, come help me get an education from
Speaker 1: the hood, or come help me get a job, or
Speaker 1: most of the time, niggas, you slide me some some
Speaker 1: some heat, or slide me some dope. You get me
Speaker 1: the reasons why I say I'm gonna come back to
Speaker 1: the hood and with those that told me get the
Speaker 1: bunk off the blood like you had homies that told
Speaker 1: me that this ain't but you go do that. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come back and I'm gonna make sure those catches
Speaker 1: right because this is one of the reasons why I
Speaker 1: am why, because you told me to get the off
Speaker 1: the block. You don't want to see me on the blood.
Speaker 1: You're gonna want my asks if you see me hanging
Speaker 1: out that type of ship exactly. Will come back to
Speaker 1: those cats, now, you know what. Height While we don't
Speaker 1: rap lyrics before we go, before we check out. I
Speaker 1: gotta ask you this because this would always wonder Now
Speaker 1: you and Quick is the y'all cool now your friends.
Speaker 1: Now you know, y'all, that's old stuff. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all as kids, But at that time y'all
Speaker 1: was doing it. You was hanging around some pretty crucial people. Y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all was out there doing y'all thing, and Quick had
Speaker 1: his crew. It could have possibly got dangerous. Do you
Speaker 1: think at that time, man, that the lyrics that y'all
Speaker 1: both are talking about, do you think that could have
Speaker 1: ended up being some bad stuff back then? Oh? Definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean ship it did, and the dude lost his
Speaker 1: life behind it, and you know, Quick made a song
Speaker 1: about it, you know, the fight at the l A.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they came down to, um, And
Speaker 1: that's why I used to tell people that it was.
Speaker 1: It was critical. A lot of people, you know, do
Speaker 1: ship for records or for amusement or whatever. But when
Speaker 1: you grow up in a situation like we did as
Speaker 1: far as growing up in Compton and gang banging was everything.
Speaker 1: You give me funk a record, funk whatever. Bangings in
Speaker 1: Compton in that time of my life. That ship, nigga,
Speaker 1: it was critical to niggas. Like so it got to
Speaker 1: a point like niggas said, yeah, nigga lost his life
Speaker 1: and motherfucker's had to start thinking about that because it
Speaker 1: could have been way more than that. You get me,
Speaker 1: It could have been way Niggas knew where Tree Top was,
Speaker 1: niggas knew what track New Park was, it was nothing.
Speaker 1: And then, like you said, we were still well. I was.
Speaker 1: I was one of those niggas who felt like I
Speaker 1: needed this stay in the hood. You didn't know I
Speaker 1: was even though I was making records and I was
Speaker 1: on my third album and I had a house in
Speaker 1: Corona and was chilling wooty wound. Nick I got on
Speaker 1: the ninety one Freeway every day and went to track
Speaker 1: New every fucking day, pulling up with Rolex watches, own
Speaker 1: and diamonds and all that fucking hundred thousand dollar cars
Speaker 1: and all that. And I'm pulling up in trag New
Speaker 1: every day because I'm still hanging out at the car
Speaker 1: wash on motherfucking Compton Boulevard and motherfucking and Palmer Block.
Speaker 1: You know, I did ship like that because I was
Speaker 1: one of those niggas who grew up in Compton and
Speaker 1: just gang banging was everything. You know, it was the hood.
Speaker 1: It was hanging out in Conton. I don't think i've
Speaker 1: I don't think until I started rapping and going on tour,
Speaker 1: I didn't even venture out of the city limits of Compton.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to l A, I didn't go to Hollywood.
Speaker 1: I didn't do none of that. Ship. All I did
Speaker 1: was go to track New Park every day. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I was one of them niggas who felt like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to the hood today and I didn't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. So, nigga, it was traps. And then now
Speaker 1: you're making records, so now you got a little entourage
Speaker 1: and now you know, you know, you wrote and I'm
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm still in the city. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't like we didn't see them and they didn't see us,
Speaker 1: and it was signed stone up and gestures and all
Speaker 1: kinds of ship. It could have been treacherous back then, man,
Speaker 1: that the city of Compton back then was treacherous, but
Speaker 1: to us. But to us it was cracking. That's how
Speaker 1: we looked at it. It was cracking that back then
Speaker 1: other motherfucker's would have been petrified to live in the
Speaker 1: city of Compton because niggas was getting shot killed and
Speaker 1: niggas hit every day. And we looked at that ship,
Speaker 1: is hey, this is the fucking way of life. It's
Speaker 1: the fucking way of life, So fuck it. And to
Speaker 1: be able to pull up out of that motherfucker and
Speaker 1: look up and be like, fifty years later, niggas like, man,
Speaker 1: please think that they could have had that ship. But
Speaker 1: you and you're Quick as though something totally different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're on something. We're on something. Like you said, we're
Speaker 1: on some grown as man ship. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it was It was just it was just
Speaker 1: the naive situations of two young niggas growing up in
Speaker 1: two different neighborhoods in content. You didn't know. Hey, do
Speaker 1: y'all realize the impact y'all had? Impact we had because niggas,
Speaker 1: because niggas was cripping and niggas was blood and and
Speaker 1: like you said, the city was on fire when me
Speaker 1: and Quick was beefing. It was some prompting ship and
Speaker 1: it was crack And like I said, it didn't even
Speaker 1: have to be tree top or track. Knew it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: It was like it was just some cripping blood ship.
Speaker 1: It was some cripping blood ship. So took sides, and
Speaker 1: the blood took sides. Even then, maybe we could have
Speaker 1: had beef. We I could have had beef for the
Speaker 1: cript said, and it didn't matter back then. You chose
Speaker 1: your side when me and Quick was beefing. And that's
Speaker 1: how it went down. And the city of Compton was
Speaker 1: hot when it started happening. But like I said, it's
Speaker 1: something we went through, Lord Willing, we was able to,
Speaker 1: you know. Unfortunately, you know, people got hurt, somebody lost
Speaker 1: their life behind it, and we were able to, like
Speaker 1: you said, we was able to grow up. Because when
Speaker 1: you're able to grow up and mature, you're able to
Speaker 1: think differently, and you're able to see ship different you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And then when you got shipped
Speaker 1: to live for man, it's just something different, right. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm on in motherfucking streets no more. I wasn't in
Speaker 1: trying New Park no more. I was in Corona, chilling
Speaker 1: in the house. I'll be swimming in the pool. What
Speaker 1: the funk I want to be gang bang beefing for
Speaker 1: with a nigga? You get me? Why do I want
Speaker 1: to get off the freeway and have to look every
Speaker 1: fucking corner and check every fucking stop light and stop
Speaker 1: sign because I'm wrapped beefing with a nigga for some
Speaker 1: dang ship. So you know, once the nigga grew up
Speaker 1: and mature and niggas was like, man to fucking my beef.
Speaker 1: So what you from tree Top? I'm from Trag Nigga.
Speaker 1: Here hit this motherfucking blunt And that's basically how it happened.
Speaker 1: You know, ship here, nigga. You everybody knows where you're from.
Speaker 1: Everybody know where I'm from. Now what you give me?
Speaker 1: Now what? Well, why do I got a problem with you?
Speaker 1: Now what? Because y'all was kind of the first ones
Speaker 1: to put it up there, Like to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: before you always kind of assumed that Rappers was from
Speaker 1: certain neighborhoods, right, nobody ever actually said it. I think
Speaker 1: it was one of the first. Quick was one of
Speaker 1: the first people to say he was. You didn't really
Speaker 1: cross the line of letting you know, because if you
Speaker 1: if nigga already knew where he was from, if you
Speaker 1: grew up in Compton, you went to school and all
Speaker 1: that ship, Um, We didn't do that ship for record
Speaker 1: purposes because we didn't want the sense of being banned
Speaker 1: or not being played if we was yelling out tree
Speaker 1: Top or trag New or you know, the mob or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it started getting acceptable to the record labels. They
Speaker 1: started not giving the fun, especially when niggas was beef
Speaker 1: and it was making records sales that ship. We don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck. But at in the beginning epic wouldn't
Speaker 1: be caught me dead saying crip or trig New on
Speaker 1: the record, man please, They would have snatched that motherfucker
Speaker 1: so quick. They was already petrified of niggas. Now we're
Speaker 1: gonna put the record. Then you claiming a second talking
Speaker 1: what you're cripping and on Oh my god. Their motherfucker's
Speaker 1: would have had a heart attack, had an heart attack.
Speaker 1: They did already wanted. That's why Nigga didn't get really
Speaker 1: that much promotion and all that ship back then when
Speaker 1: we was coming up, because their motherfucker's were scared to Nigga's.
Speaker 1: But they moved. That ship was making money, but they
Speaker 1: didn't know how to deal with us. Nowadays, they don't
Speaker 1: get a fuck. Nigga, claim your hood where your rag, nigga,
Speaker 1: you could throw up your sad, throw up your side.
Speaker 1: We don't give a fuck. Just cut us our portion.
Speaker 1: But back then, hell nah, James and motherfucker's was petrified
Speaker 1: and nigga's gang banging and you was really ignorant at
Speaker 1: that time, James, I was very ignorant, very ignorant. Did
Speaker 1: you take a side? Oh yeah, yeah, Ship, I was
Speaker 1: ryd with Quick all day. You know, I'm on this
Speaker 1: side of and I tell everybody in your story I'm
Speaker 1: going up rose class and get shot at because I'm
Speaker 1: I'm bumping the Quick Ship. So somebody was lurking and
Speaker 1: heard it and popped at me. You know what, This
Speaker 1: is stupid as a motherfucker back But like I said,
Speaker 1: it was versa and niggas was like nigga, I wushed
Speaker 1: them niggas. Would you know you're playing a song nigga
Speaker 1: niggas shooting at your car, digg that's something crazy. Ship
Speaker 1: we had copped on fire. Like how they identify you?
Speaker 1: That song identified you? If you was playing Quick we
Speaker 1: knew you was a blood. Yeah. If youmw nigga that
Speaker 1: niggas and then nigga, you crip and nigga, you didn't
Speaker 1: have you, nigger. That's it. All we have to do
Speaker 1: is here coming from your cars. Now you're throwing up
Speaker 1: and you chasing niggas and you literally chasing niggas. Man,
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was the fucking car chases
Speaker 1: and not with the police, nigger. It was Compton was
Speaker 1: a maga. Compton was hot man, goodness them days was fired.
Speaker 1: But like I said, when I told you about a
Speaker 1: year ago, who would have thought MC eight and and
Speaker 1: and Mob James will be on the podcast together. Who
Speaker 1: would have thought that eight and Quick settled day differences
Speaker 1: and now they're in the studio kicking and be hitting
Speaker 1: big blunts. I mean. And we had killed each other.
Speaker 1: We didn't even know each other, but we had killed
Speaker 1: each other just because of the association of being a
Speaker 1: blood or crip. You feel me. These young cats ain't
Speaker 1: understanding that now y'all holding enough to make money, Now
Speaker 1: y'all making money together. They don't get that part. Man.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's crazy. But yeah, like somebody said, it's
Speaker 1: crazy what motherfucker's do to put themselves in the position
Speaker 1: of fame nowadays. And it don't matter where it comes
Speaker 1: to Uh, if I got to tell a nigga about
Speaker 1: me popping the nigga last night, fucking I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: may put it on record. It's just the amount of
Speaker 1: what niggas will do for fame nowadays, to be famous
Speaker 1: or become that next celebrity or whatever. So you gotta
Speaker 1: be really because like I said, you can live your
Speaker 1: life like I'm cool with everybody. I don't have an
Speaker 1: issue with now motherfuck on his planet Earth. But for
Speaker 1: some reason it's motherfucker's who got issues with you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: with me, And that's just the about it. Money is
Speaker 1: a different way of making money. It's a different way
Speaker 1: of selling selling drugs. This ship here is a different
Speaker 1: way to pay your bills. Half of us black men
Speaker 1: don't want to get up and go get a real
Speaker 1: motherfucking job. Now, let me ask you all this right
Speaker 1: by everybody growing up pretty much and developing now, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are gonna be lost, James,
Speaker 1: because see this is gonna set of president and they've
Speaker 1: been doing it right. First of all, half the cats
Speaker 1: out here making these records is lying like a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: They're lying. They're just talking about ship. They got active
Speaker 1: as imaginations. Right now, we bring the police into it.
Speaker 1: They're out there looking at people online and stuff. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of people going to jail, bro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a whole lot of people going to jail, bro.
Speaker 1: And it's it's really some sad ship dog. But do
Speaker 1: you slow down doing what you do because it als
Speaker 1: a gangster you know what I mean? But you can
Speaker 1: actually clean it up. Nor you don't have to put
Speaker 1: certain things out there in your songs. You have to
Speaker 1: clean it up and and and I can say this,
Speaker 1: Look at eight, he's still going on tour. He's not out.
Speaker 1: I'm just learned how to transition ship into you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to call it a
Speaker 1: grown up form, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: tell niggers I'm still on the block trying to hustle
Speaker 1: and and serve um. You know, I ain't got beef.
Speaker 1: I'm not riding in my car creeping looking for niggas
Speaker 1: with the Faue five and ship like that. You know.
Speaker 1: My thing is now is to tell niggas to try
Speaker 1: to keep hustling, try to come up um. You know, Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna run across situations that you know you might
Speaker 1: have to you know, watch yourself in. But the main
Speaker 1: goal is to try to be sustainable, make money and
Speaker 1: watch out for your people, you know, um, because that's
Speaker 1: what really at the end of the day. Everybody want
Speaker 1: to be successful, have a little money in their pocket,
Speaker 1: and live good. So I feel you can transition that
Speaker 1: into what I came from as far as you know
Speaker 1: it still got the hood mentality and still know how
Speaker 1: to talk to niggas and come from the block. But
Speaker 1: you know, I can't be telling niggas, you know, to
Speaker 1: go on the block and serve you and shoot out
Speaker 1: a nigga and just because you're a cripp and he
Speaker 1: a blood or vice versa. That's just you know. But
Speaker 1: h I don't try to motherfucker's skull and nigga either,
Speaker 1: because like I said to young, I used to be
Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen to myself and you couldn't tell me ship
Speaker 1: as an eighteen nineteen year old kid, um kang banging
Speaker 1: was everything. The hood was first, Uh, we get money
Speaker 1: and fuck everybody else. And that was the mentality because
Speaker 1: you think, you know, you think like, hey, I'm invincible
Speaker 1: at that age, you know, nobody can touch me. When
Speaker 1: I got a couple of the homies around me and
Speaker 1: he got a strap, I gotta strap and we out
Speaker 1: here making money. Then we fucking a couple of bitches
Speaker 1: and got a couple of ends. You know, Nigga. Think
Speaker 1: nigga would have need it, you feel me? Ye? Really
Speaker 1: speaking of whisk before we go to because you never
Speaker 1: talked about your stuff. Eight You got a new single though, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a new project out, a little ep out
Speaker 1: nine Stones. It's called Revolution and Progress, you know, just
Speaker 1: more of that ship. I was just trying to talk
Speaker 1: about just some simple to keep the fans going, you know,
Speaker 1: because a lot of you know, we still have a
Speaker 1: lot of fans from my era, and they still want
Speaker 1: to hear music of from that era, and and they
Speaker 1: want to hear what you know, a nigga transitions to
Speaker 1: from going through a lot, from seeing a lot on
Speaker 1: the streets and being able to tell the story of
Speaker 1: being a young eighteen year old and being a grown man,
Speaker 1: a father now and a person with responsibilities. So to
Speaker 1: be able to still represent Compton and come from the
Speaker 1: streets and talk like that, Uh, that's why I just
Speaker 1: continue to make music now. To be, you know, not
Speaker 1: to monetize ship. But you know we all work and
Speaker 1: there ain't nothing free. But I just make music because
Speaker 1: you know, they're still true fans out there of of
Speaker 1: my generation of hip hop that wants to hear my
Speaker 1: generation of hip hopping. Here what we got to say?
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we still to make good music,
Speaker 1: some of us. So I just put out a new project,
