<v Speaker 1>Or get a cracker. Yeah, you know what, they do

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>another episode of The Gangster Chronicles and I'm here with

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the home Boys, Big James still in the house, and

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>we were having a discussion eight you know, before James

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>came on. You got the catch Gunn in Atlanta facing

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Rico charges. You've got young thug facing Rico charges. And

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they said that they are going to use his lyrics

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>against him. His lyrics. Um, you know, music videos and

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>everything like that, you know, and a lot of this

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff is a rapper. I think you're just generally trying

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to tell stories about stuff that you've seen, stuff that

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you've heard just pretty much, you know, you're pretty much

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>just making um, making tales of the hood, you know

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, the neighborhood. They really starting to hold

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>cats accountable for that. Now. Well, well, hey, ain't that

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>freedom of speech when you I mean, like I said,

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like I was staying earlier. Um, I've told tales from

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the hood. Um, stuff that I've witnessed, stuff that I

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>might have or might not have participated in. Um. But

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you look at it as as being

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>on record or writing a book or doing a movie,

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.839
<v Speaker 1>it's supposed to be freedom of speech. But I guess

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to associate this y s AL click Young

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Slime Life to criminal activities. You know, nigga's claiming the

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>faction and then going out doing dirt. So now they're

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>anybody who's tied to y s L, They're they're bringing

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>them in. It happened to be one of the one

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>or two of the you know rappers uh with Young

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Thug happens to be affiliated with YSL. So Um, freedom

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of speech has always been questioned because it seems to

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>me only certain people can say what they want to say.

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Getting Yeah, I mean, that's just it. Um. You can

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>try to use the defense of I'm just telling the tale.

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>You get me just because I said on record the

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>nigga got his wigs split and they used the draco

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and he got shot five times. You know, they're now

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.239
<v Speaker 1>trying to see if we probably had some murders where

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>nigga got popped with a certain gun and got shot

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>five times. So that's how they're trying to make connections

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>as to you know, a nigga having freedom of speech

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and you can say fuck the police or fuck this

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>or fuck that if you want to. Well, I see

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>when they do it like like young Dog, like mo three.

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>These catch is rapping about these murders and they actually happened.

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Then they're going back on social media and they're talking

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>about it. So they put theirselves in the trick bag.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Because the police surfed this ship here. They they watching

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>everything that's going on. This is how they know what's

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>going on with these dudes. So you basically put yourself

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>in a situation every time you get on social media,

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>every time you own a platform, doing something in your songs.

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's pretty much, you know, they thought that they're

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>getting caught up like that because they're putting it out

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>there to the world, letting them know how they're getting down.

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>So that take away from freedom of speech. You know,

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, and this is what they're saying. I guess.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>On May Knife Young Thug was arrest that at this crib.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>They came this crib and they had a fifty six

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>count gang indictment. According to the indictment, the rapper and

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.120

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the Georgia Criminal Racketeering Law. The government claims that ys

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.840

<v Speaker 1>State's Raggeteer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act or RICO. That's

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's version of the federal law originally designed to fight

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.719

<v Speaker 1>with participating in the criminal street gang a state violations,

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>also carrying a potential prison sentti the twenty years Gunna's charged.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 1>The only under RICO charges against others names in the

0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>indictment stand murder, attempted murder, robbery, assault, car jacking, and theft,

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>along with possession of drugs and firearms. You know, with

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Young Thug, the prosecutors claim he co founded y sl

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 1>See this is the set of President right here. Because

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing that sounds like a rap crew. Young

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Slime Life you know, you got we may have a

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>rap crew called the Gangster Chronicles Life or whatever. That

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 1>don't mean we out there committing crimes. That's just the

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>name of a crew. But but they're doing is they're

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>using all this stuff too pretty much put people in

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the Greeks. What they're doing is when they see that

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>type of activity, they put a task force on it

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and down they're watching them. Now, they're tapping them. Now

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 1>they see that he might be supplying the hood. And

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we talked about this one time before eight

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>when you was in the hood and niggas's accent, YadA YadA.

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>But no, I ain't getting down like that. I'm I mean,

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you're making money. So these guys believe that when when

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>when you out of here and you you get successful

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>and making a lot of money, you supplying the hood

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>with weapons, drugs and all this other ship speaking of

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the police. So now they got a task force on you.

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Now they're linking you to all different types of ship.

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>You don't just go get twenty eight motherfuckers and say

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>y'all working together. It just don't happen like that. So

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>they're watching these cats, they're looking at these videos and

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>they dissecting that ship. So now we got a problem,

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>am I right, I'm a I'm all right, No, you

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>have a you have a huge problem, because this is

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>what I think right here, right, they're telling these cats

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty much, let's say they got a homeboy. You know,

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>all their homeboys ain't rappers, right, if they got any homeboy,

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>it might be just one cat in the neighborhood. They're

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>selling dope, you know, it might be selling a little

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 1>bit of weak. Because we ain't legal on the national level.

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>They're still locking people up in Georgia behind marijuana. So

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>if you got a home be up at this pushing

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>a few pounds of weed, probably on shout a couple

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>of niggas. All of that stuff spans under that one organization,

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>so you don't really have nothing to do with them.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh and gonna it's whatever, homies, they got this doing

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>something wrong. Whatever. And that's what I explained to my key,

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.239
<v Speaker 1>is like you're quite explaining to your sons. The company

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you keep can get you through when the grease is well, yeah,

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the motherfucker yeah, And that's what it is. But the

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>moment they start locking up to see eight, you had

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>some pretty profound lyrics back in the day so show.

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>And if they start really and this ain't the first time.

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Remember we had Macminister on the show. I think they

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>used this song his rap lyrics to kind of throw him,

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, to indict him on murder too. If they

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>start doing this, eight's to stop them from going to

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>go dig up your old archives and digging up old

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>because they ain't no um. It ain't no um statue

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>with limitations on the body. Now, I'm I'm to see

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that was the thing about me when I wrote songs. Yeah,

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I might have participated in a little corner slanging, you know,

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>And of course I told it me a strap and

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, but I'm not gonna turn around and and

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>go killing nigga last night and then turn around and

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>right a rapt today and put it out on a

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:34.000

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>You get me. But I'm not dumb enough to know.

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>about it. They're not thinking, I don't know, I don't

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>know if if if they're so naive to think like, oh,

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they can't use that ship against me. It's just a record. No,

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>but you're telling you're talking about a criminal activity that

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>really happened that the one times is investigating, and if

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I could go grab your stone and play it and

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>hear you describe to the t of what the funk

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm investigating, I'm gonna come get your dumb ass and

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put the song up in court and go,

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>look a nigga was shot and killed with a forty five.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>This nigga on his record said I shot and killed

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the nigga with a forty five. You get me. That's

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the dumbness of it, instead of hypothetically like you know,

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>some niggas came through and you know you can't put

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>yourself in that. Even in that arena. We can go

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>rap about something else, go go rap about something else,

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>but don't have the balls in the audacity to go

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>out commit a crime last night and then run to

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the studio and go, yeah, we just came off a

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>hundred and something something street and we had the draco

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and the nigga jumped out and shot two niggas and

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>you at the studio making the songs about it, and

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>like I said, that's the young that's the young ship, though, James,

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you feel me, because the old ass nigga ain't gonna

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>pull no ship like that. First of all, I ain't

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna take a nigga with me if I go go

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>do some ship. So there's what I don't know what

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the funk is going on, Okay. And the second of all,

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna be dumb enough to get on fucking

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>record and start rapping about some ship I just pulled

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>three hours ago. It's like a nigga papa nigga and

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>then go let's go to the studio and make it

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>so good, right. And the cold thing about it is

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>when you go to court, the jury don't know you.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>The jury really don't know this gang like you really

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know this wrap life, and automatically they as soon

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you're guilty anyway because they don't understand it. But all

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>they hear is what you're saying in these songs, man,

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and they find you guilty because, like I said, the

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>majority of the white people don't live this world, don't

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>live this life. And you're guilty already if you're trying

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to go you're trying to go to court against a

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker who's still mad at Snoop Dogg and niggas for

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>saying bitch on record thirty years ago. You get me,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and then you want to get in to stand what

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a motherfucker talking about. You popped the nigga forty five

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and killed tean and I did this and we jumped

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 1>out on the nigga wound, and you think you're gonna

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.319
<v Speaker 1>get man. Man, Please no, because you know you can

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>sell as much dope as you want to on a record,

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>right and it may have been some stuff you was

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>doing fifteen, twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, so

0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>they can bring that back up on you. But when

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you talk about taking a life years old and somebody

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>it's ever especially if you're damn mass go to the

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 1>studio or rap about it. Like I said, hypoth hypothetically

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.319
<v Speaker 1>telling the tale from the hood. I mean we've lost

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the tales from the hood. You know a nigga who

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>does shot the nigga. I know a nigga who does

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>shot a nigga. I know a nigga who got his

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>ass beat by the police. I know it nigga who

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>was selling dope. Nigga. That's aw hypothetical ship, that's tells

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 1>from the hood. Let me tell you what happened to

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the homie who sold dope and got caught. Let me

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>tell you that what happened to the homie who did

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a drive by and got caught. Let me tell you

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>what happened to the nigga who did this. You get

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>me to do that all day, but I'm not gonna

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>be like, yeah, nigga, we hit the block nigga with

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the Fox five and shot two niggas and one got

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 1>rookie whoop and his name was Teddy ted nigga and

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>block Block Blop and your homeboy little Fred got killed.

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>That the bus stop and moved people that ship is

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>taking it to before and then nick that nigga rapping

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot. You know what I'm saying. For nigga who

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>just supposed to be a rapper, You showed telling a

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of in detail ship about a situation that happened

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a month ago exactly. Now this is what threw him

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>in the grease, I guess. In January two thousand and fifteen,

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the um young man Donovan Thomas Jr. Was shot in

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta barbershop and a suspected drive by shooting five

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of young thugs alleged WI Sales associates, including another wire

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>cl rapper, yet Gotti, whose real name is the Diamante

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick are now charged with Thomas's murder. Yet Gotti and

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the four the People are also charged with the attempt

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>to murder two others three days before the Legs murdered.

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>The indictment asserts young Thugs rented the Silver Infinity sdan

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that was used in the killing. The indictment claims that

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Thomas was a rival gang member. Now see young Thugs

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>involved in the conspiracy. Now he might have really rented

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>that car. Doubt young thug is dumb enough to say,

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go rent a car and y'all you have

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to go shoot this nigga. It sounds like he was

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>giving one of his little rappers, one of his little

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>proteges or whatever, one of his little hangers on the

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>car that he was driving. He would and killed him again.

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>So now that automatically in dykes, young thug in it.

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Now this is where the difficulty is gonna come in

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>on this. At right, young thug is making a lot

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of money right now, Gunn is making a lot of money.

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>He's looky is He's making millions of dollars? Dog, Do

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you think he's going to want to leave that lifestyle

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to go take one for the team? No? I wouldn't.

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>But I mean the way they think today, they've proven

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that they with it. They're proven that they down with

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the circle they hang with. Show you get caught up

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day because you ain't thinking,

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 1>You ain't thinking about that ship. You just the home.

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>You just see you with it, You rent it, goddamn card,

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and then somebody get killed. That motherfucker's on your in

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>your name, give me my association as a motherfucker. But

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to get caught up like that. So

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>why would the little honies putting in a situation like that?

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, that's some that's some cold

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>ship right there. Now he can lose the rest of

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.239
<v Speaker 1>his life. Money don't matter if you're in the penitentiary,

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 1>but the rest of your now, no, I damn should don't.

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Now you remember the look of the cat that's from

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>down there, from Atlanta, the YF and Lucie cat. Hey, yeah,

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you know he got his own charts. He's in jail

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 1>right now. You know he's in jail because his own

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>reco indictment. Right they're saying that the UM I guess

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>young Thugs crew stabbed him, had him shanked or whatever

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 1>like that. So they're bringing up all this right now. Bro.

0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:01.360

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.480

<v Speaker 1>online telling people I'm not tripping on him. I killers dude,

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.160

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.600

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Now they're just speaking out on this ship, you know

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. And it hasn't been escalated to the

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>fact that social media, Uh you know, it escalates a

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.120

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just like everybody from from a kid, to the

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to the to the white boy next door, to the

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.239

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>It glorifies. Why do you think social media allows us

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>to get on these platforms and just speak free like that,

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>because now they use this as a tool for the police,

<v Speaker 1>I'm over here, and then we got this, and then

0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we're doing this, and I got all of this, and

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I got stacks to this and just hey, everybody, look

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>at me. I never want to be that dude. Yeah, exactly.

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Now listen to this and this all kinds of stuff.

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>So this means that they gotta be taping these cats, right,

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>because I guess. On February, two other young thugs other

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.919
<v Speaker 1>associates discuss how to get young thugs permission for a

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>second murder attempt on the incarcerated wife and Lucy. The

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>indictment is one of the two wives. The other associates

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:06.639
<v Speaker 1>sought young things permission to murder wife and Lucci, and

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 1>then they got another one where they attempted murder on

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta police officer. See these dudes is in the

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of stuff man. First of all, who go

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>out plot and he hits the murdering officer. Like I said,

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>it's been from the beginning of the time, Bro, It's

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just different. Now they're broadcasting and ship. They're putting it

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>out on this ship. It's different now, but back then,

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.720
<v Speaker 1>same ship. It ain't the first time motherfucker talked about

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>hitting the police officer or whatever. But I'm just saying

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the way they conduct business today is fucked up. It's

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 1>fucked up. So you know, that's one thing about ship.

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Shoot would change his phone number every goddamn week. He

0:24:53.720 --> 0:25:00.400
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't change phone because he knew their motherfucker's that when

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.959
<v Speaker 1>they was investigating death roll, you knew. So it's a

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>certain way to be. But you can't quit what you're doing.

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>What you gotta tighten it up a little bit. The

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>average Joe couldn't call so you can talk about no

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 1>streets ship. So these dudes are just careless man, These

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>little cats out here loving the world, living it, running

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>around here taking pictures with stacks of money. I just

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:35.480

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and they just loving the ship. They loving attention. They

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 1>want the whole world to know, you know, a rich

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:48.120
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker ain't gonna show you a rich I think it's

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>just it's just the ego of the generation of what's

<v Speaker 1>I pay attention to the music. But then I think

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 1>my son knows that if any situation came down, I

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>think he knows I would take the blunt of a

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of ship, so he doesn't have to put himself

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in a situation that the music might influence him to

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>get into some stupid ship, because I think he already

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>know any stupid ship that came his way, I would

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>me take the blunt of it. All right, Hey, I'm

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna read some rap lyrics back Knees from nine and

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>ninety three. I believe I want to know if these

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 1>rap lyrics get you and died at the day, I'm

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:14.959
<v Speaker 1>in too deep. I don't kill the motherfucker, and I

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 1>just can't sleep. One time is trying to do a

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>smooth creek, and on top of that, Nigga's after me

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>for fucking one of the hood rats. I ain't got

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>time for the fucking bitch story. Niggas want me gotta

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>come in my territory, and they know you can get

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the fist niggas coming, they go get done in their

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>own risk. What is it all about? Should I leave it?

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Should I stay because I don't want to punk out?

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Or what should I do? The homely stay the hoods

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>where it's good? Homeboy? I thought you knew so in

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the process to show the hood my best. No time

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>to react. Caught too in the chest. Now who's looking down?

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm finished. I'm going out like a straight

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 1>up minute. Yeah, Okay. Those lyrics basically are speaking to

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you in the hype up that to conform if you see,

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 1>if you if you look at if you listen to it,

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 1>none of those lyrics actually tell you yesterday we went

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:16.959
<v Speaker 1>and killed the nigga, or it doesn't name a specific situation. Okay,

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>we popped the nigga with a with an a K

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 1>on this block. Your homie from six five got killed

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>with the motherfucking you get me. It's a difference. And

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 1>then the way the story is like it's being like

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a story being told, is that I'm trying to show you.

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And then it's already being mapped out because it's from

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>a movie and a story that I'm trying to tell you.

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 1>So it's a hypothetical it's the thought process that I'm

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:49.959
<v Speaker 1>trying to wrap to you in the thinking or in

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the form of what a nigga in that situation might do.

0:30:55.800 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 1>You feel me, I'm not actually trying to pump up

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I'm beefing with a nigga. I'm basically

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>telling you a hypothetical story. You know why, because you

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>just got through watching this movie. You just got to

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 1>watching this movie. So now I'm trying to put you

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>in the sense of this character from this movie and

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:24.400
<v Speaker 1>what he's having to go through living in this lifestyle.

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>You get me, so that it's a difference of as

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 1>far as what you're saying today. Niggas ain't on phones

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about me wrinten cars and I'm going to do

0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 1>dry bis. You get me. Niggas ain't no niggas in

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>my lyrics. Uh, when I'm saying I can't sleep, I

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>have killed the motherfucker. That's the hypothetical movie I'm building because,

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like I said, you just watched this movie, okay, And

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>as a sense of la last week a nigger that

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>we got beef that that I'm gonna put it in

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a hypothetical like this, me and another rapper is beefing, right,

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 1>mm hmm. This other rapper gets shot last week. I

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 1>put out a song today describing this rapper getting shot

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to a t and then you catch the niggas on

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the phone talking about how eight sent us to shoot

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 1>this rapper. Yeah, they're gonna they can indict me for

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics all day. Yeah, you know what, it was crazy.

0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 1>The reason I bought up that song eight is because

0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I know it's talking about a movie, right, But was

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 1>dangerous is about the day, is that a different attorney

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>can get a hero of parass or his ass. Look

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 1>at you and go to the song that you wrote

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that you might just be talking about some ships you

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 1>don't sing, and the just using your imagination as an artist,

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and then you can actually probably tie you with some

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>ship dog. Yeah. But then I got the evidence to

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 1>go back and go watch the movie. I'm described all now.

0:33:15.840 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 1>If that movie had never happened, then you're talking a

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>different story. Because if I get on record and tell

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you I didn't kill the nigga last night, and I

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 1>can't sleep and Woopy wound and comes to find out

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a nigga got killed last night. Even if that song

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:39.479
<v Speaker 1>was in the eighties, if you played that song today

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 1>with the technology and all this ship, these taskboards, they're

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna look into it. I'm going to if I'm living

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>that lifestyle and I'm claiming that I'm still this active

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>ass nigga, and I have the and I have the

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 1>balls to put on this record that last that I

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>can't sleep because I didn't killed the motherfucking the one

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>time was creeping on me. Of course, I gotta know

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna listen to this song you give me.

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the dumb ship behind it, because knowing they're looking

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>at me, you give me, I already know. You can't

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 1>be that still like that. That's the beauty of this ship.

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>You can't be that dumb to know you're not getting watched.

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Can you be that fucking stupid and naive to know

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that you don't pull some ship and you're not getting watched?

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>But you still I don't think these young cats know

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that the police got a task for task force with

0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe twelve motherfuckers sitting at the desk, going through YouTube,

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 1>going through Facebook and just searching and serving these dudes.

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Once they see one thing, that's just like the task

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:54.360
<v Speaker 1>force that that can fun with the Taliban that knows

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>um when when terracest is coming to the United States,

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you broke fouled. So once they put you in that data,

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:09.280
<v Speaker 1>everything that you say, potentially for anything pretending to killing,

0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>raping or whatever, it's gonna pop up. Now they own you.

0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Come on, they've been doing this ship from the beginning

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.839
<v Speaker 1>of the time. They've been doing this ship, so it's

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>not brand new, and these young cats don't know that

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 1>they're doing this just because if if, if, if I'm

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:36.759
<v Speaker 1>still active in the drug game, do I want to

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:42.359
<v Speaker 1>make records about me selling drugs? Probably not, it's something

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. And that's what they're doing. You

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 1>get me because like like like you said, in this

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>day and age, with technology, you're making it simple for motherfucker.

0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>You get me making a simple for him. I could

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 1>kick back as a motherfucking one right now, just sit

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:06.319
<v Speaker 1>up on Instagram and go through my whole neighborhood of

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:10.279
<v Speaker 1>where I'm patrolling, because all these niggas got Facebook and

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Instagram pages, and one of these niggas gonna slip up.

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Somebody gonna be showing the pistol. Somebody's gonna do a

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 1>video showing the pistol. Somebody gonna do a video showing

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>some dope or some ship. They're making it easy. So

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:29.720
<v Speaker 1>if you put yourself in them situations like yeah, yeah,

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 1>ship nowadays, we used to fight that ship. Oh, you

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 1>can't use that ship. I'm just wrapping thirty years ago.

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:39.360
<v Speaker 1>You can't use the fact that I was talking about

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 1>a nigga getting killed and then now you've got three

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.359
<v Speaker 1>young kids who went out and killed the motherfucker because

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>they say, remember, oh, I killed the nigga because I

0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>was listening to eight or I was listening to Tupacle,

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I was listening to the scar face and they told

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 1>me you had a popper motherfucker before he popped you.

0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So I popped the motherfucker. You didn't the first forty

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:04.239

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 1>at the first fourty year hours. That's how they're getting them.

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>They probably know who you are. All they do is

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>go to your Facebook page, look at you and see

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:17.200

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.399

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:02.840

<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like sometimes you like with the new

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:28.600
<v Speaker 1>rappers the day that that you played a big part

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 1>in these cats wrapping the way they wrapped, because your

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:34.719
<v Speaker 1>wrapper is totally different. The way you do it is

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:38.320
<v Speaker 1>totally different the way uh Ice team. I used to

0:38:38.360 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>wrap all right now, because rap rap wouldn't have been

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 1>rapper what I rap wasn't around. So what are you

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:46.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna say then that influenced you the gang bang and

0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:49.839
<v Speaker 1>carry your rag in a strap and claim your neighborhood

0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and all that, Because it wasn't Wrapped that made me

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 1>want to do that ship. Well, it's not just Rapper's movies.

0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of guys no matter that. It

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a movie that made me want to claim the neighborhood.

0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It was the niggas I saw every day on the

0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 1>block getting money and what I went through as a

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:11.759
<v Speaker 1>as a kid whose mom struggled, who didn't have a

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>father around, no older siblings to guide me in the

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:19.800
<v Speaker 1>right direction. I didn't see no movies about black niggas

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:23.319
<v Speaker 1>gang banging or motherfucker's whatever. I saw that ship on

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the block every day when my mama took us to school,

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:29.759
<v Speaker 1>and I saw niggas out there with fresh ail caminos

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and Dayton's and motherfucking bitches and all that. That's what

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 1>influenced me to gang banging. It wasn't a movie or

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it was what I saw every day and waking waking

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 1>up like damn, man, damn, you give me that. That's

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what made me want to turn it. It wasn't a

0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:52.400
<v Speaker 1>record or a movie I saw or none of that,

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 1>because to me, that's it would make believe. You get

0:39:56.280 --> 0:40:00.800
<v Speaker 1>me records and fucking TV and movie. That's was make believe.

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I could stand out on my porch right now, look

0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:08.480
<v Speaker 1>two houses down and see the freshest new cars. Could

0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about nigga. I grew up in Spooktown, so motherfucker,

0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the nigga's over there had that nigga. It was on

0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and cracking. So I got to see ship and that

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:25.880
<v Speaker 1>was influenced me to won't be game banging, sell dope

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:31.320
<v Speaker 1>now wrapping made me want to be a rapper. Limousines

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and fat gold chains. I didn't think that ship was

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna come. I don't know. I didn't cross the two.

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I was too young, but I didn't cross the

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 1>two as that coming from the dope ship. I looked

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:47.799
<v Speaker 1>at that. That's coming from being a rapper. So I

0:40:47.840 --> 0:40:52.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to start making records. It didn't influence me because

0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I was already game banging when the music ship started,

0:40:56.680 --> 0:41:02.279
<v Speaker 1>you get me, So I felt like I need to

0:41:02.320 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>tell tales about the neighborhood because I don't know shit else.

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.680
<v Speaker 1>You get me. I didn't know nothing about party in

0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 1>or you know, growing up like the Fresh Prints or

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:16.880
<v Speaker 1>wrapping like Young MC or Tone Local. It was just party, party,

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:21.360
<v Speaker 1>let's have fun modele nah because all my block niggas

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>was coming through shooting every day. When I grew up

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:29.680
<v Speaker 1>at niggas was selling crack, making money. So that's all

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I knew the rap about. I didn't know how to

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:35.240
<v Speaker 1>rap about. You know, a party tonight over here, grab

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you a girl and LISZT dancers. I didn't know that.

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I knew that tonight somebody canna come down the street

0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and blast, or tonight somebody gonna go down to jail

0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 1>because they got dope on the corner, or tonight somebody

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 1>finna get killed or that's all. That's how I started

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:55.960
<v Speaker 1>rapping because I just saw a ship that went on

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 1>in the neighborhood every day, and at that time, for

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 1>us on the West Ols, that's what our music was.

0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:08.279
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't get influenced by that. But being me

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and then being a kid in another state like a

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Texas or Kansas or whatever, and listen to m C

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:19.759
<v Speaker 1>eight on record and m C A talk about how

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you know Compton it is and they was cripping and

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:26.120
<v Speaker 1>blood and niggas was selling dope. Yeah, I might be

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:31.319
<v Speaker 1>influenced by that ship a kid from who who just

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:35.200
<v Speaker 1>from out of town, And yeah, m C A might

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 1>influence me to start gang banging because I'm looking at

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 1>his videos and khaki suits and seeing low riders and

0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>ship like that. That ship might influence me to gang

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 1>bang and pick up a strap and start claiming the

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood I ain't never been from. Because influences a motherfucker.

0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You're right, you know. I think these guys got a

0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>big roblem when when they make money, they think they

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:06.240
<v Speaker 1>got to go back to the to the neighborhood and

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 1>show the homies that they made it. I don't see

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:16.600
<v Speaker 1>why you'll be worth twenty million and think that you

0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:20.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta go back to the hood. Twenty million means you

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 1>made it out of the hood. You you made it

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 1>out of the struggle some niggas, James, But can you

0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:32.759
<v Speaker 1>answer this, do you feel that some niggas were never

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that from the hood and these niggas go off and

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:38.239
<v Speaker 1>make the twenty thirty million, and then they want to

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:42.719
<v Speaker 1>come back and prove that they are significant from the

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 1>hood because they got money and fame. Now, yeah, I

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 1>mean we have certain individuals in our neighborhood that made

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:55.640
<v Speaker 1>it and come back to the hood. See, it's different,

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:59.319
<v Speaker 1>it's different levels to to being in the hood. You

0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:01.399
<v Speaker 1>got the game, since you got the shooters, you got

0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the good dresses, you got the the homies that know

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:08.080
<v Speaker 1>how to sell dope and say any money is different

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:11.640
<v Speaker 1>shipped to it. You got those that that wasn't with

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:13.840
<v Speaker 1>it, it it ain't about it, but wanted to live the

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:18.320
<v Speaker 1>life of the big homie because I respect it. So

0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:22.680
<v Speaker 1>by coming back to the hood you got money, everybody's

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:24.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna respect you because they want to be around you

0:44:24.600 --> 0:44:27.880
<v Speaker 1>because they know what's worth. They know what they know

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:31.439
<v Speaker 1>you're worth. And there now you you giving and help

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:34.719
<v Speaker 1>and everybody. But what they got to realize is that

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:39.719
<v Speaker 1>day you stop looking out for one homie, he's gonna

0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:43.759
<v Speaker 1>be mad. Now he's plotingum. And they don't understand that part.

0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I can make or be worth thirty

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:50.960
<v Speaker 1>million and go back to the hood, to the hood

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and get into that type of activity. Uh, because it

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>only takes one person to say all the big homie

0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:00.560
<v Speaker 1>he buying all the homies, guns, all the homies, you're

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 1>prying all the dope. This is how these catches getting

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:05.799
<v Speaker 1>caught up because they want to be a part of

0:45:05.840 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the hood, and you know should be told the hood

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:13.719
<v Speaker 1>is all we got. You know what I'm saying. If

0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I struggled and I went through it and I did

0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>my time in prison, I don't owe nobody nothing. I

0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:23.160
<v Speaker 1>don't old the hood nothing, so I don't have to.

0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I gotta go back to the

0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:27.719
<v Speaker 1>hood to prove to them and they got still got yall.

0:45:28.840 --> 0:45:30.920
<v Speaker 1>What was unia is that when I was in prison,

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.399
<v Speaker 1>nobody sent me no money, but I think I got

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>to be there. Yeah. A lot of diggers. A lot

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 1>of diggers don't want that question you did you get me, James.

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 1>A lot of niggas don't want that question of how

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>uh how valuable they were to the So a lot

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:56.439
<v Speaker 1>of niggas go back to buy that motherfucking uh that

0:45:56.600 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that that authentication you did me? Uh. A lot of niggas,

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 1>like you said, for a nigga who felt like I

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:06.440
<v Speaker 1>paid my dues, and I don't want nobody ship, So

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go where I go. If I move out

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:11.239
<v Speaker 1>the hood, I'm gonna set up and I'm gonna do

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:13.440
<v Speaker 1>something I don't feel like. I gotta come back and

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:17.160
<v Speaker 1>toss money and buy dope and gun because that's what

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the level becomes anyway. You know it ain'tbody can nigga

0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 1>tell you, nigga, come help me get an education from

0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the hood, or come help me get a job, or

0:46:26.480 --> 0:46:29.720
<v Speaker 1>most of the time, niggas, you slide me some some

0:46:29.719 --> 0:46:32.359
<v Speaker 1>some heat, or slide me some dope. You get me

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the reasons why I say I'm gonna come back to

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the hood and with those that told me get the

0:46:38.760 --> 0:46:41.399
<v Speaker 1>bunk off the blood like you had homies that told

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.399
<v Speaker 1>me that this ain't but you go do that. I'm

0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:46.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna come back and I'm gonna make sure those catches

0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 1>right because this is one of the reasons why I

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:54.000
<v Speaker 1>am why, because you told me to get the off

0:46:54.000 --> 0:46:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the block. You don't want to see me on the blood.

0:46:56.160 --> 0:46:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna want my asks if you see me hanging

0:46:58.120 --> 0:47:01.360
<v Speaker 1>out that type of ship exactly. Will come back to

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:06.919
<v Speaker 1>those cats, now, you know what. Height While we don't

0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:09.520
<v Speaker 1>rap lyrics before we go, before we check out. I

0:47:09.600 --> 0:47:13.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta ask you this because this would always wonder Now

0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you and Quick is the y'all cool now your friends.

0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Now you know, y'all, that's old stuff. You know what

0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:21.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, y'all as kids, But at that time y'all

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>was doing it. You was hanging around some pretty crucial people. Y'all.

0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Y'all was out there doing y'all thing, and Quick had

0:47:29.200 --> 0:47:32.960
<v Speaker 1>his crew. It could have possibly got dangerous. Do you

0:47:33.000 --> 0:47:36.120
<v Speaker 1>think at that time, man, that the lyrics that y'all

0:47:36.120 --> 0:47:37.880
<v Speaker 1>both are talking about, do you think that could have

0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 1>ended up being some bad stuff back then? Oh? Definitely.

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean ship it did, and the dude lost his

0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:48.959
<v Speaker 1>life behind it, and you know, Quick made a song

0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:51.400
<v Speaker 1>about it, you know, the fight at the l A.

0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's what they came down to, um, And

0:47:55.600 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 1>that's why I used to tell people that it was.

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 1>It was critical. A lot of people, you know, do

0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:06.799
<v Speaker 1>ship for records or for amusement or whatever. But when

0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you grow up in a situation like we did as

0:48:10.040 --> 0:48:13.960
<v Speaker 1>far as growing up in Compton and gang banging was everything.

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:19.640
<v Speaker 1>You give me funk a record, funk whatever. Bangings in

0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Compton in that time of my life. That ship, nigga,

0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it was critical to niggas. Like so it got to

0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a point like niggas said, yeah, nigga lost his life

0:48:33.239 --> 0:48:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and motherfucker's had to start thinking about that because it

0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:39.239
<v Speaker 1>could have been way more than that. You get me,

0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:43.000
<v Speaker 1>It could have been way Niggas knew where Tree Top was,

0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:46.200
<v Speaker 1>niggas knew what track New Park was, it was nothing.

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>And then, like you said, we were still well. I was.

0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I was one of those niggas who felt like I

0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:56.960
<v Speaker 1>needed this stay in the hood. You didn't know I

0:48:57.040 --> 0:48:59.480
<v Speaker 1>was even though I was making records and I was

0:48:59.560 --> 0:49:02.360
<v Speaker 1>on my third album and I had a house in

0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Corona and was chilling wooty wound. Nick I got on

0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the ninety one Freeway every day and went to track

0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:14.000
<v Speaker 1>New every fucking day, pulling up with Rolex watches, own

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and diamonds and all that fucking hundred thousand dollar cars

0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and all that. And I'm pulling up in trag New

0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:24.839
<v Speaker 1>every day because I'm still hanging out at the car

0:49:24.920 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 1>wash on motherfucking Compton Boulevard and motherfucking and Palmer Block.

0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I did ship like that because I was

0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:37.520
<v Speaker 1>one of those niggas who grew up in Compton and

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:41.360
<v Speaker 1>just gang banging was everything. You know, it was the hood.

0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:44.759
<v Speaker 1>It was hanging out in Conton. I don't think i've

0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:48.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't think until I started rapping and going on tour,

0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even venture out of the city limits of Compton.

0:49:52.680 --> 0:49:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go to l A, I didn't go to Hollywood.

0:49:55.400 --> 0:49:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do none of that. Ship. All I did

0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:03.360
<v Speaker 1>was go to track New Park every day. So yeah,

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I was one of them niggas who felt like, yeah,

0:50:05.880 --> 0:50:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to the hood today and I didn't give

0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a fuck. So, nigga, it was traps. And then now

0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you're making records, so now you got a little entourage

0:50:15.600 --> 0:50:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and now you know, you know, you wrote and I'm

0:50:18.080 --> 0:50:19.880
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I'm still in the city. So it

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:23.359
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like we didn't see them and they didn't see us,

0:50:23.840 --> 0:50:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and it was signed stone up and gestures and all

0:50:28.280 --> 0:50:34.399
<v Speaker 1>kinds of ship. It could have been treacherous back then, man,

0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:40.640
<v Speaker 1>that the city of Compton back then was treacherous, but

0:50:40.760 --> 0:50:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to us. But to us it was cracking. That's how

0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:48.640
<v Speaker 1>we looked at it. It was cracking that back then

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:52.960
<v Speaker 1>other motherfucker's would have been petrified to live in the

0:50:53.000 --> 0:50:56.279
<v Speaker 1>city of Compton because niggas was getting shot killed and

0:50:56.400 --> 0:51:00.320
<v Speaker 1>niggas hit every day. And we looked at that ship,

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:05.879
<v Speaker 1>is hey, this is the fucking way of life. It's

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the fucking way of life, So fuck it. And to

0:51:09.080 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to pull up out of that motherfucker and

0:51:12.640 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 1>look up and be like, fifty years later, niggas like, man,

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:20.759
<v Speaker 1>please think that they could have had that ship. But

0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you and you're Quick as though something totally different. Yeah,

0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:28.120
<v Speaker 1>we're on something. We're on something. Like you said, we're

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:30.400
<v Speaker 1>on some grown as man ship. I mean, you know,

0:51:31.080 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was It was just it was just

0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the naive situations of two young niggas growing up in

0:51:38.239 --> 0:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>two different neighborhoods in content. You didn't know. Hey, do

0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:50.440
<v Speaker 1>y'all realize the impact y'all had? Impact we had because niggas,

0:51:51.000 --> 0:51:53.680
<v Speaker 1>because niggas was cripping and niggas was blood and and

0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:55.880
<v Speaker 1>like you said, the city was on fire when me

0:51:55.920 --> 0:51:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and Quick was beefing. It was some prompting ship and

0:51:59.680 --> 0:52:01.839
<v Speaker 1>it was crack And like I said, it didn't even

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:04.800
<v Speaker 1>have to be tree top or track. Knew it didn't matter.

0:52:05.239 --> 0:52:07.520
<v Speaker 1>It was like it was just some cripping blood ship.

0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:12.680
<v Speaker 1>It was some cripping blood ship. So took sides, and

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the blood took sides. Even then, maybe we could have

0:52:16.480 --> 0:52:18.680
<v Speaker 1>had beef. We I could have had beef for the

0:52:18.719 --> 0:52:22.040
<v Speaker 1>cript said, and it didn't matter back then. You chose

0:52:22.080 --> 0:52:25.080
<v Speaker 1>your side when me and Quick was beefing. And that's

0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 1>how it went down. And the city of Compton was

0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:31.239
<v Speaker 1>hot when it started happening. But like I said, it's

0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:34.800
<v Speaker 1>something we went through, Lord Willing, we was able to,

0:52:35.080 --> 0:52:39.320
<v Speaker 1>you know. Unfortunately, you know, people got hurt, somebody lost

0:52:39.360 --> 0:52:43.359
<v Speaker 1>their life behind it, and we were able to, like

0:52:43.400 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you said, we was able to grow up. Because when

0:52:46.200 --> 0:52:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you're able to grow up and mature, you're able to

0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 1>think differently, and you're able to see ship different you

0:52:52.120 --> 0:52:54.240
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. And then when you got shipped

0:52:54.239 --> 0:52:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to live for man, it's just something different, right. You know.

0:52:59.400 --> 0:53:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm on in motherfucking streets no more. I wasn't in

0:53:02.160 --> 0:53:05.160
<v Speaker 1>trying New Park no more. I was in Corona, chilling

0:53:05.320 --> 0:53:07.960
<v Speaker 1>in the house. I'll be swimming in the pool. What

0:53:08.080 --> 0:53:10.279
<v Speaker 1>the funk I want to be gang bang beefing for

0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:13.480
<v Speaker 1>with a nigga? You get me? Why do I want

0:53:13.480 --> 0:53:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to get off the freeway and have to look every

0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:19.840
<v Speaker 1>fucking corner and check every fucking stop light and stop

0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:23.400
<v Speaker 1>sign because I'm wrapped beefing with a nigga for some

0:53:23.520 --> 0:53:27.480
<v Speaker 1>dang ship. So you know, once the nigga grew up

0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:31.439
<v Speaker 1>and mature and niggas was like, man to fucking my beef.

0:53:31.520 --> 0:53:34.440
<v Speaker 1>So what you from tree Top? I'm from Trag Nigga.

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Here hit this motherfucking blunt And that's basically how it happened.

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:44.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, ship here, nigga. You everybody knows where you're from.

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Everybody know where I'm from. Now what you give me?

0:53:47.640 --> 0:53:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Now what? Well, why do I got a problem with you?

0:53:50.680 --> 0:53:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Now what? Because y'all was kind of the first ones

0:53:53.160 --> 0:53:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to put it up there, Like to be honest with you,

0:53:55.280 --> 0:53:58.040
<v Speaker 1>before you always kind of assumed that Rappers was from

0:53:58.080 --> 0:54:02.560
<v Speaker 1>certain neighborhoods, right, nobody ever actually said it. I think

0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.120
<v Speaker 1>it was one of the first. Quick was one of

0:54:05.160 --> 0:54:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the first people to say he was. You didn't really

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:12.680
<v Speaker 1>cross the line of letting you know, because if you

0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:14.920
<v Speaker 1>if nigga already knew where he was from, if you

0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:17.600
<v Speaker 1>grew up in Compton, you went to school and all

0:54:17.640 --> 0:54:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that ship, Um, We didn't do that ship for record

0:54:21.480 --> 0:54:25.840
<v Speaker 1>purposes because we didn't want the sense of being banned

0:54:25.920 --> 0:54:28.439
<v Speaker 1>or not being played if we was yelling out tree

0:54:28.480 --> 0:54:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Top or trag New or you know, the mob or whatever.

0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:36.200
<v Speaker 1>But it started getting acceptable to the record labels. They

0:54:36.239 --> 0:54:40.480
<v Speaker 1>started not giving the fun, especially when niggas was beef

0:54:40.480 --> 0:54:44.439
<v Speaker 1>and it was making records sales that ship. We don't

0:54:44.480 --> 0:54:49.280
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck. But at in the beginning epic wouldn't

0:54:49.280 --> 0:54:51.960
<v Speaker 1>be caught me dead saying crip or trig New on

0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the record, man please, They would have snatched that motherfucker

0:54:55.200 --> 0:54:59.400
<v Speaker 1>so quick. They was already petrified of niggas. Now we're

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:02.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna put the record. Then you claiming a second talking

0:55:02.600 --> 0:55:05.560
<v Speaker 1>what you're cripping and on Oh my god. Their motherfucker's

0:55:05.560 --> 0:55:09.680
<v Speaker 1>would have had a heart attack, had an heart attack.

0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:12.799
<v Speaker 1>They did already wanted. That's why Nigga didn't get really

0:55:12.840 --> 0:55:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that much promotion and all that ship back then when

0:55:15.200 --> 0:55:18.440
<v Speaker 1>we was coming up, because their motherfucker's were scared to Nigga's.

0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But they moved. That ship was making money, but they

0:55:21.920 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't know how to deal with us. Nowadays, they don't

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:28.040
<v Speaker 1>get a fuck. Nigga, claim your hood where your rag, nigga,

0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you could throw up your sad, throw up your side.

0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:33.480
<v Speaker 1>We don't give a fuck. Just cut us our portion.

0:55:35.480 --> 0:55:39.600
<v Speaker 1>But back then, hell nah, James and motherfucker's was petrified

0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and nigga's gang banging and you was really ignorant at

0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:49.399
<v Speaker 1>that time, James, I was very ignorant, very ignorant. Did

0:55:49.400 --> 0:55:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you take a side? Oh yeah, yeah, Ship, I was

0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:55.480

<v Speaker 1>a maga. Compton was hot man, goodness them days was fired.

0:57:11.239 --> 0:57:15.440
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, when I told you about a

0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:19.680
<v Speaker 1>year ago, who would have thought MC eight and and

0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and Mob James will be on the podcast together. Who

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:27.760
<v Speaker 1>would have thought that eight and Quick settled day differences

0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and now they're in the studio kicking and be hitting

0:57:30.720 --> 0:57:34.320
<v Speaker 1>big blunts. I mean. And we had killed each other.

0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.800
<v Speaker 1>We didn't even know each other, but we had killed

0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:41.040
<v Speaker 1>each other just because of the association of being a

0:57:41.080 --> 0:57:44.680
<v Speaker 1>blood or crip. You feel me. These young cats ain't

0:57:44.760 --> 0:57:48.080

0:57:52.120 --> 0:57:58.280
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's crazy. But yeah, like somebody said, it's

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:01.960
<v Speaker 1>crazy what motherfucker's do to put themselves in the position

0:58:02.040 --> 0:58:05.880
<v Speaker 1>of fame nowadays. And it don't matter where it comes

0:58:05.880 --> 0:58:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to Uh, if I got to tell a nigga about

0:58:09.280 --> 0:58:12.000
<v Speaker 1>me popping the nigga last night, fucking I'm gonna put

0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:15.760
<v Speaker 1>may put it on record. It's just the amount of

0:58:16.240 --> 0:58:20.120
<v Speaker 1>what niggas will do for fame nowadays, to be famous

0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:23.919
<v Speaker 1>or become that next celebrity or whatever. So you gotta

0:58:23.960 --> 0:58:25.919
<v Speaker 1>be really because like I said, you can live your

0:58:25.960 --> 0:58:30.720
<v Speaker 1>life like I'm cool with everybody. I don't have an

0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:34.720
<v Speaker 1>issue with now motherfuck on his planet Earth. But for

0:58:34.760 --> 0:58:38.360
<v Speaker 1>some reason it's motherfucker's who got issues with you? Yeah,

0:58:38.640 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 1>with me, And that's just the about it. Money is

0:58:43.640 --> 0:58:45.840
<v Speaker 1>a different way of making money. It's a different way

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of selling selling drugs. This ship here is a different

0:58:49.920 --> 0:58:54.280
<v Speaker 1>way to pay your bills. Half of us black men

0:58:54.320 --> 0:58:55.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want to get up and go get a real

0:58:55.880 --> 0:59:01.480
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking job. Now, let me ask you all this right

0:59:03.280 --> 0:59:09.680
<v Speaker 1>by everybody growing up pretty much and developing now, I

0:59:09.760 --> 0:59:11.760
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of people are gonna be lost, James,

0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:14.320
<v Speaker 1>because see this is gonna set of president and they've

0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:17.880
<v Speaker 1>been doing it right. First of all, half the cats

0:59:17.880 --> 0:59:20.160
<v Speaker 1>out here making these records is lying like a motherfucker.

0:59:21.120 --> 0:59:23.320
<v Speaker 1>They're lying. They're just talking about ship. They got active

0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:27.440
<v Speaker 1>as imaginations. Right now, we bring the police into it.

0:59:27.520 --> 0:59:29.920
<v Speaker 1>They're out there looking at people online and stuff. It's

0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:34.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a lot of people going to jail, bro. Yeah,

0:59:34.440 --> 0:59:36.280
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be a whole lot of people going to jail, bro.

0:59:36.360 --> 0:59:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's really some sad ship dog. But do

0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you slow down doing what you do because it als

0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a gangster you know what I mean? But you can

0:59:46.680 --> 0:59:50.240
<v Speaker 1>actually clean it up. Nor you don't have to put

0:59:50.320 --> 0:59:53.440
<v Speaker 1>certain things out there in your songs. You have to

0:59:53.480 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 1>clean it up and and and I can say this,

0:59:57.040 --> 1:00:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Look at eight, he's still going on tour. He's not out.

1:00:00.200 --> 1:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just learned how to transition ship into you know,

1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you want to call it a

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>grown up form, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

1:00:12.560 --> 1:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>tell niggers I'm still on the block trying to hustle

1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and and serve um. You know, I ain't got beef.

1:00:20.560 --> 1:00:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not riding in my car creeping looking for niggas

1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>with the Faue five and ship like that. You know.

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>My thing is now is to tell niggas to try

1:00:30.000 --> 1:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to keep hustling, try to come up um. You know, Uh, yeah,

1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna run across situations that you know you might

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>have to you know, watch yourself in. But the main

1:00:41.760 --> 1:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>goal is to try to be sustainable, make money and

1:00:44.880 --> 1:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>watch out for your people, you know, um, because that's

1:00:49.520 --> 1:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>what really at the end of the day. Everybody want

1:00:52.600 --> 1:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to be successful, have a little money in their pocket,

1:00:55.120 --> 1:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and live good. So I feel you can transition that

1:00:59.400 --> 1:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>into what I came from as far as you know

1:01:03.320 --> 1:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it still got the hood mentality and still know how

1:01:06.480 --> 1:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk to niggas and come from the block. But

1:01:09.200 --> 1:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't be telling niggas, you know, to

1:01:12.480 --> 1:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>go on the block and serve you and shoot out

1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a nigga and just because you're a cripp and he

1:01:19.320 --> 1:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a blood or vice versa. That's just you know. But

1:01:24.000 --> 1:01:27.439
<v Speaker 1>h I don't try to motherfucker's skull and nigga either,

1:01:27.520 --> 1:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>because like I said to young, I used to be

1:01:29.520 --> 1:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighteen to myself and you couldn't tell me ship

1:01:34.280 --> 1:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>as an eighteen nineteen year old kid, um kang banging

1:01:38.760 --> 1:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>was everything. The hood was first, Uh, we get money

1:01:42.600 --> 1:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and fuck everybody else. And that was the mentality because

1:01:46.640 --> 1:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you think, you know, you think like, hey, I'm invincible

1:01:51.040 --> 1:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>at that age, you know, nobody can touch me. When

1:01:54.320 --> 1:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I got a couple of the homies around me and

1:01:56.920 --> 1:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he got a strap, I gotta strap and we out

1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>here making money. Then we fucking a couple of bitches

1:02:01.760 --> 1:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and got a couple of ends. You know, Nigga. Think

1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>nigga would have need it, you feel me? Ye? Really

1:02:08.720 --> 1:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>speaking of whisk before we go to because you never

1:02:10.840 --> 1:02:14.919

<v Speaker 1>about just some simple to keep the fans going, you know,

1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of you know, we still have a

1:02:29.520 --> 1:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of fans from my era, and they still want

1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>want to hear what you know, a nigga transitions to

1:02:38.840 --> 1:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>from going through a lot, from seeing a lot on

1:02:41.280 --> 1:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the streets and being able to tell the story of

1:02:45.280 --> 1:02:48.440

1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>a father now and a person with responsibilities. So to
