WEBVTT - Conversations About “Doing What It Takes” 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.440 Watch up and welcome back to another episode of No 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.480 Sealers Podcast with your host. Now fuck that with your 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:16.480 loaw glasses, Malone. So this is what I was thinking, 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:21.320 right it Joey like, so for the events, like right, 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.880 like this is kind of like for me, this is 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.160 like my last hoorah as far as hip hop over 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:35.839 the next six eighteen or twenty four months. Right, Not 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.640 like I'm finna retire or nothing, but like as I 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:43.320 started making films and shit like that, Like I don't 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.320 know if I'm gonna have as much time dedicated to 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.720 purely music because it aately. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.400 Like my skill set and my gift rather is a story. 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.400 Like I'm a storyteller, so like I'm figuring out other 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:58.920 ways to tell stories. Hip hop was something like God 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.040 bless me with you. I mean to save my life. 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.200 Like it's funny because I told you, Like the old 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.440 school truck on Bill New that got impounded and I 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:12.000 went to go get a release from the Century Station. 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:13.520 The jail I used to go to all the time. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.400 It's right at the corner of my neighborhood, like right 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.600 at the corner of the seven, Like it's a jail 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.440 right on Imperial in Alameda, and it's a court building there, 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.759 and I went up there to get the release from 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.160 them to go pick up my old school truck, and 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.400 I remember walking in that courtyard and the last time 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.840 I was in that courtyard specifically, I had just beat 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.880 a case like probably like my eight for ninth sharm 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.360 dealing case PCP selling case. And it was a bad case, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.000 like it should have been an easy win case because 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.640 it wasn't my sharm, you know. I mean, I was 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:52.080 selling sharm at the time, but the specific bottle that 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:53.840 they got it wasn't mine's, you know what I mean. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.080 So I'm thinking it's gonna be easy because if they 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.440 fingerprinted the bottle, you know what I mean, like you 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.320 could prove it, not minds, but because of my extensive 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.800 history when it came to selling PCP, I ran into 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.560 a judge that was kind of fucking me over. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:09.440 And then the. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:14.079 Two specific police officers McDaniels and Oh Diggae, they was 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.560 trying to fuck me over, you know, the detectives that 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.480 he was just tired of me, Like I was really 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.200 an arrogant ass d boy, you know what I mean. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.720 I carried myself with like a real flare. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.040 And like I knew they knew what I was doing, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.080 and I knew their job was to try to catch me, 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.680 and my job was to make sure they didn't catch it. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.200 That's the shit you know on me. But this case 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.760 got out of hand, and you know I used to 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.360 bail out of it. Used to be thirteen five forty 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.480 One's that was the penal code for session of PCP 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.680 for sales, I mean for sale, thirteen five forty one. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.640 And like that's how many times I had it. I 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.240 know the fucking pinal coal by heart. And anyway, this 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.000 is about the eighth or ninth time, and I'm thinking 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.760 this is a simple case. So I remember not bailing 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.400 out on the case. And that ball is on twenty 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.560 thousand dollars, you know what I mean. So you spend 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.679 two thousand dollars, you know, to ten percent. But at 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.880 that time you had to have a house, you know 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.160 what I mean. So I would pay like somebody who 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.000 owned the house some money, like a thousand dollars to 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.280 use their house. So I'm thinking to myself, like, man, 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.320 I don't want to spend three thousand. It'll be a 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.480 da reject because this wasn't my shurn. They called me 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.440 coming out the yard calling my older homie Booby rest 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.600 in Peace neighborhood, and they just kind of jam me 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.120 up and just wanted to put me in jail to 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.040 ruin my weekend. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.880 And they take me to jail, you know whatever. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.000 They go find some sherman in an abandoned house two 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.480 or three houses down from where I was at and 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:40.680 said this is Joe Sharm. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:41.440 So I go to jail. 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.560 I'm like, man, I'm not finna pay a little three thousand, 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:45.840 thirty five hundred take to get out. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.120 I'll wait and get a DA reject because this ain't 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:48.600 my sharn. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.080 It was a judge that ran into me before and 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.720 cuz was crazy, and the police trumped it up and 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.960 my bill end up going to two hundred thousand. So 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.760 the bill out ended up costing me thirty thousand dollars 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.160 that time. I had about ninety thousand dollars saved. It's 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.880 a third of the money for me. So like long 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.960 fast forward, like all kinds of bashes storre happening, Like 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.800 I just took a lot of losses and that's how 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.320 I work in the streets. So I'm fighting this case. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:19.279 There was a time bro that I wasn't. I didn't 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.920 have any fear of going to jail or prison. Like 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.240 my big hommy Pluck caught a case on some bullshit. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.960 I was gonna go take the time so he didn't 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.200 get life. I was gonna go take it because I 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.200 would only have to do three years. That's how much 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.320 I wasn't scared of going to prison or jail. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.720 Go ahead, Pete, Was. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.239 This the same moment or not moment? 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.560 But what was it this time where you were And 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.400 it sounds like a little bit longer where the story 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:48.040 where you hit that one gentleman's dad through the bars? 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:53.599 No, that was about that was three jail stents before that. Jeezus, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.240 all right, it was a time when I was going 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.119 to jail all the time. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.480 I'm sure, I'm sure. So, long story short. 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.400 Like I ended up taking a bunch of losses. It 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.039 was a bad case. The case was really simple, but 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.280 my history just the judge was just being unreasonable, bro, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.400 And it was so much shit that was happening. Now 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.039 that I think about it, probably was some shit. He 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.120 wasn't he supposed to do. Long story short, They were 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.400 trying to give me three hundred and sixty six days 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.200 because if they give me three hundred and sixty five days. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.520 You could do that in the county. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.279 But if you had to do one, if you got 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.280 sentenced to one day over a year, you had to 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.120 go to prison, and you had to get a tell 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:39.600 parole parole number. And by this time, I think Motoac 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.440 got killed one of the homies. One of my own 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.200 homies killed one of the homies, and then he get killed. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.720 Then homies go to prison, so like like a lot 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.599 of shit is just happening. And I remember thinking, like 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.240 just a year before that, the thought of going to 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.720 prison meant nothing to me. But then this time I 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.600 was like, damn, I'm finna go to prison over this. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.800 And really, at that time, you would have did four months, 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.480 you would have went to They called it a turnaround. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.640 You go to Chino like the reception, get booked in 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.240 and they send you home. You know what I'm saying. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.159 You do about three four months and you own but 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.440 you now you're on parole. And I'm in that courtroom 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.080 and I'm thinking, like, damn, my life, and to be 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.720 on parole for some bullshit like I wasn't even making 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.800 no money right here on this specific thing. And I 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.680 remember praying to God, like right, I had a public 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.760 defender because I think I had like twenty some thousand 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.360 dollars left over from all that money I had, And 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.000 I had a public defender because I didn't want to 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.440 spend that money on the attorney. I was like, I'm 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.760 gonna keep something, which now that I think about, is 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:44.400 fucking crazy. But I remember like being prepared to walk 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.599 in there and take the deal three hundred sixty six 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.440 days right, because they wouldn't give me a county lid 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.440 three sixty three sixty five in the county. And I 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.400 remember saying this empty prayer. And I don't know if 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.080 y'all ever you know, said an empty prayer? Like an 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.360 empty prayer is like you don't really mean what you're saying. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.280 It's just kind of you spirit doing the thing that 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.520 innately comes to it. So I'm sitting in the courtroom now, 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.240 mind you Modica, and McDaniel's behind me. You know what 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.880 I'm saying, it's a fucked up situation. My public defender 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.120 is cool, but he not great. And you know, we 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.960 walk in. He take me in a little private sector 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.000 in the back of the court room at this location 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.720 where I'm going to get the release at from my 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.520 truck the Century station right on the period and that 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.320 of media and why. And he's like, look, I'm gonna 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.280 try to push back a little bit, but you're probably 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.560 gonna to take this three hundred sixty six days because 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.120 they gonna drag it out. And I don't think you 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.280 want to fight this with a public defender. This is 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.080 what my public defenders telling me. What pete, if. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:53.280 You in that scenario, like let's say they just shoot 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.480 you to Chino and and it's not you got a 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.680 decent little arrangement. They're like, you're not gonna have some 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.680 battles and time of all time. If you sit through 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.520 the whole three sixty six do you walk out no 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.240 parole versus if you leave early your parole, It's like 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.920 you're trading ten days of parole for one day of 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.680 time in or how does that work? 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:14.280 You know what? 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.480 That's a great question. I don't know because I never 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.720 went to prison. Obviously I did end up going, but 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:20.160 we just. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.360 Seems like a bartering thing. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.760 We'll let you out two years early, but you want 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.800 parole for six years or something. You know, if you 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.680 just sit there, you're just done and clean. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.600 Yeah, we got to talk to some people about that. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.520 I make sure I ask. That's a great question. Good point. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:35.960 So fast forward right. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.960 He's like, Yo, I'm gonna set it up, but we 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:39.040 probably should take this deal. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.000 I'm like, all right, cool. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.240 He said, I'm gonna try to get this case, this 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.079 mess based off motions blah. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.680 Blah blah blaheah blah blah blah. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.960 It sound like trash to me because this motherfucking judge 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.720 and these two crackers behind me.

God, if you get 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:43.560 me out of this, I'd never say a shirme in 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.560 my life.

That 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.000 was pool idea. I didn't want no record deal. I 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.880 wanted to have death Ro. I mean, I wanted to 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.640 be Shug Knight or Doctor Dre or somebody who ran 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.480 the label easy. I did not want to be a rapper, 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.720 you know what I'm saying, Like I didn't mind being 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.840 a rapper when my goal was to run a business 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:53.600 and rap. 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.080 That's because I had to. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:01.400 But that like one of the things I regret, Like 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.080 Mac ten made me buy the Bentley. Shout out to Mac. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.560 He made me buy this Bentley, you know what I'm saying. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.840 And it's like I wanted a Rag fifty seven, you 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:11.440 know what I'm saying. 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.359 With the ls, he felt like that's the Bentley. Is 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:14.920 what it took. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.760 No me listening to Couz is what it took. He said, 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.399 if you get this car, everybody is gonna be talking 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:24.600 about you having this car. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:29.560 It's gonna market itself. And he was right. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:33.040 But the problem is, and I've talked to you about 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:38.320 this Pete like a Bentley, a g Wagon, a Porsche, 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:42.000 different cars I had. It does mean something when you 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.560 on this side of the ten Freeway and you know 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.600 you you east of the four oh. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.520 Files, especially when you're east of the one ten. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:51.560 Yeah. Right. 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.919 So if you take Lou Bentley to the projects, to 0:17:56.040 --> 0:18:00.159 the to the Low Bottoms, to Inglewood, for me to 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:08.359 South Central, to Carson to Long Beach, two hundred Park, Paramount, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:15.000 anywhere where the ghetto is, you are top dog. You 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:20.919 are top dog. But the problem is, if you really 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.720 want to be a superstar hip hop artist, what you 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:29.120 are has to transition in Beverly Hills. And so if 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:34.399 you're depending on a card to market you, that same 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.320 car needs that same effect when you would go to 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.480 the Stinking Rolls or when you would go to the Sls. 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.040 It cannot just. 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:50.440 Be wealth to poor people. It needs to be flavor 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:56.320 to everybody. And so I get how mac saw marketing. 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.120 You know, he's extremely brilliant in marketing because shout out 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.000 to one oh. But it's like if I have that 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.959 RAG fifty seven with that LS and then for Giados 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.240 of them twenty two inch dang wheels. 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:08.800 That's still the shit. In Inglewood. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.320 It's a big, bright classic car that you're driving around 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.639 like it just came off the GM assembly line today, 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.800 so it's still had the same effect. 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.320 In the low bottoms. You might get robbed. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.280 Nigga might run up in jack Yell stupid, because this 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.720 is some shit. It's still a two hundred thousand dollars car. 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.760 Everybody know, even if Buller cost two hundred thousand. Know 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.600 that motherfucker is big and shiny and it's worth a 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.560 lot of money. But the difference is to me, when 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.800 you get to Beverly Hills, like where a Bentley goes dry, 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.800 where a g Wagon goes dry, where a Porsche goes dry, 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.880 a fucking rag fifty seven, where a fucking LS send 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.600
