00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,120

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: New York that started the exact Lafayette Gardens projects, better

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: known as LG. Yeah, LG, my name is fruit Pom,

00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: are years right there. Seeing I'm gonna explaining to everybody something.

23
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: The dynamics on the West Coast and the East Coast

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: is like night and day, not a day. L gez

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty floors right, each building twenty floors? No, we got

26
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: seven buildings in the four block raids. Three out of

27
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: the seven buildings got twenty floors. Okay, that's what I

28
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: was saying. The other four buildings may have thirteen to fifteen.

29
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: That's still big though yall was an actual skyscrapers then

30
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, but seven buildings is very very small

31
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: compared to other housing projects throughout New York City. That's

32
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: what Dog he was telling me. Dog he was saying that,

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: y'all kind of like the smallest projects. But you gotta understand,

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, we don't have no stuff like that.

35
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Everything is short. Everything is short and kind of spread

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: out like you may see some town houses or something

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: like that. You look like town houses almost right, and

38
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: they just wind up right next to each other and

39
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: on top of each other. And I always used to ask, Dog,

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: you say man, New York cats seemed like they move

41
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: a little different. I understand why now y'all living on

42
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: top of each other back in that motherfucker. So you

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: gotta it's pretty much when you do your history, when

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: you go back into African history and things like that

45
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: and slavery, you know how they stacked us up on

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: the boats on top of each other. That's all it was.

47
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: They brung their ship to the housing projects and stacked

48
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the soul up on top of each other like slave ships.

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, And that's what I saw. Now, you thought

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: the ports man like prior to the crack era, he was,

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: he was running the streets way before the crack era.

52
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that the crack

53
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: era came about. It started in the Bronx for sure.

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: And then you're talking early early eighties, man, like eight three,

55
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: forty five. Maybe I came out of the house in

56
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty maybe three. I'm eighty three to Big Sact.

57
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I never forget. It was eighty three July, the night

58
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Diana Ross hit Central Park. That's my first day at

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: the house. I watched one of my older cousins get

60
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: dressed he's about to hit the block. Go take him

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: some money, because that's what he was back then in

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the early eighties. Uh dudes in Brooklyn, Brownsville and bed

63
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: styt he was on some snatching diamonds and take them

64
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: to the scale and you did their money that way. Um.

65
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I had an older cousin that was his that was

66
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 1: his swag, and I watched him get dressed that day

67
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three. He on his way to sent

68
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: you Park to go take money, and I actually could

69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: I go with it, and he told me, you'll take

70
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: me with him as long as I wasn't scared to

71
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: take nobody. So I came out the house that day,

72
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: that historical day, Diana role set that stage and sent

73
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: you Park and he started raining. I came out the

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: house that day, brother, So that's three snatching pockets off,

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to get into because that

76
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: was a big thing, and that was a big thing

77
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: for y'all back then. Pretty much tearing somebody's pockets off,

78
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: going to somebody's pockets. Okay, Now, when I came out

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: the house with that, that's what it was. Digging your

80
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: hand in somebody's pockets, snatching money and run. But prior

81
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: to me coming out of the house, the older generations

82
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: before me, what they used to do was called joscelyn.

83
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: It's just a different name of pickpocket. Okay, So the

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: older generation, that's what they used to do, the Joscelyn,

85
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: which is called pickpocket. By the time I came out

86
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: the house a few years later, dudes got tired of

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: the hustle and bustle that comes with pickpocket. They just

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: started snatching the whole pockets off. Man. And it's almost

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: like a universal appeal right there. So you know you'll

90
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: got all this going on, man, and you got your

91
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: first being in eighty seven, Yes, sir, Halloween eighty seven,

92
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I was thirteen years old. Now you're thirteen years old, man,

93
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: and you're going to pretty much with juvenile jail, right

94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: right right. Can you speak on what it was that

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: you did to put you in that position? Okay? In

96
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: New York City when I when I came out of

97
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: the house in the early eighties, I don't know what

98
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: it was about, but every Halloween, I can't compare it

99
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: to the l A Rice. Don't get it twisted, but

100
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: just imagine the l A rants on a minor scale.

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: This is every Halloween in Brooklyn, New York. Wow, every

102
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: Halloween in Brooklyn, New York, two hundred to three hundred

103
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: dudes from every house and projects just get together and

104
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: run rampant in New York City, throwing cocktail bombs, busting

105
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: jury store windows, running up and store snatching clothes, throwing

106
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: eggs like that's what they did on Halloween in the

107
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: eighties in Brooklyn. Why, I have no idea, and I

108
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: was just running them up with everybody else. So on

109
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Halloween eighties seven, that's what was going on. And I

110
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: dug a pocket and the police was a block away

111
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: on a steakout. Oh man. So as we're running wow,

112
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: doing what we're doing, the police got us in eyesight,

113
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: and I guess when I made my move, they jumped

114
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: out and began to chase us. And I had nowhere

115
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: to go. I had nowhere to go, So you just

116
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: gave it up. Now, how was you feeling? She was

117
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: thirteen years old, He was a little kid man at

118
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: the time. I was trying to get away. But when

119
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: they caught me, you know, that's when that thirteen year

120
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: old child, kicking, crying like a baby, snocked bubbling in

121
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: my nose. Please don't take me to jail. I'm sorry,

122
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: I get the money back. I tried all that. Ain't

123
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: none of that work. They processed me. Let me know,

124
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: my grandmother was not taking me home, and I was

125
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: going to sprofit which was the Juvenile Potential Center in

126
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: New York City then, and going there, I cried on

127
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: that whole drive to the Bronx from Brooklyn, New York, snoped,

128
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: bubbling in my nose, begging them please to give me

129
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: another chance. I'll never do it again. Ain't none of

130
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: that work, None of that work? How long did you

131
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: wind up doing? Uh? I ended up getting an eighteen

132
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: months sentence in family court October eighty seven. I ended

133
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: up coming home. Maybe I had an eighteen months sentence,

134
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: I might have did fourteen months out of it. So

135
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: I think about a year and some change out of that.

136
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: At the juvenile facility called Berthshire Farms up state in

137
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: New York. And it's a real famous place because it

138
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: was a private facility. It wasn't a state owned facility.

139
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: It was privately owned, and the majority of the children

140
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: there were sent there by their parents and families. You

141
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: know what they got. And a thing called pens petition.

142
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: When your family can't control you, you want to send

143
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: them away. The courts sent the majority of those kids there.

144
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Me being so young, they gave me a chance to

145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: come to that facility as opposed to go into one

146
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: of those rougher juvenile facilities that I could have landed it. Okay,

147
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: So pretty much they're like, what was the experience like

148
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: in there, because you said that was kind of like

149
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: the lightweight spot right. Uh, where I did my jewel

150
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: now bid was very much like, very very very much

151
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: like it was a blessing as a It was more

152
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: of a blessing than a punishment. That this was a

153
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: non secure facility where guys, you had the opportunity to earn,

154
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go home every month. Uh. You participated

155
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: in local high school sports. So when I shook up

156
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: the basketball court, I was in the dealer, I was

157
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: in the local newspapers. I was I was being scouted

158
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: by high schools and even junior colleges that were locally.

159
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: That's not the treatment of a of a child in

160
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the JUPI now facility, Oh no, not at all. You're

161
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: actually giving the kid a chance to actually still have

162
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: a future, right, that's what they was giving me. But

163
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I was too young to recognize that this was a

164
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: facility where we would go to lunch and Mike Typson

165
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: movie standing in the mess all because the staff members

166
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: was his homeboys. Like this was a lesson as opposed

167
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: to uh discipline, and I didn't recognize that. Then. Now

168
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: you know what and what usually happens fruit and those

169
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: type of facilities, people usually learn how to become better criminals. Yes,

170
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: and that's what I did. I hate to admit it because,

171
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: like I said, you was able to earn a home

172
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: visit every month, and I didn't earn them all, but

173
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the ones I did earn. The bus was dropping me off.

174
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: I was coming from upstate New York on the Grayhound

175
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: and the bus would drop me off in forty second Street,

176
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: part authority. Forty second Street is what midtown Manhattan. So

177
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm actually getting off the bus coming from the Jufer

178
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Now facility, running into my homeboys in Midtown digging pockets.

179
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually digging the pocket before I get home and

180
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: tell my grandmother I made it home. That's crazy, man.

181
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: So you still you still pretty much? So let me

182
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: ask you this now about the facility you're being in

183
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: being like you said, it was a blessing. But do

184
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: you think if you'd win somewhere a little bit more harsh,

185
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: that you probably wouldn't have been acting when you got

186
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: back home. No, I think I would just still came

187
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: home and act up because I went I went away

188
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: at a time where it wasn't no O G s

189
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: pulling the shorties up. Lenderstand, I'm saying it was the

190
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: shortest raising the shorties, and it was hold your own,

191
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. So it wasn't no Gee's

192
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: pulling us up. In my generation. Now, me being O

193
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: G knowing I got a bunch of little dudes in

194
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: my hood that respect me and looked up to me.

195
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to change that site because they didn't do

196
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that with us. They didn't do that, man, And that's

197
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: important too, bro New York City. In New York City,

198
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the o gs just coming home from doing a little

199
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: one of the threes to the Falls, and we thought

200
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: that ship was cool. Now we're coming home from doing

201
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: twenty five and thirty and we're telling these shorties, now,

202
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: that's not what's uck. We when we was growing up. Yeah,

203
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: let me ask you this fruit. How much time did

204
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: you actually wind up doing on that little stretch. O're

205
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: not talking to juveniles, you're talking to stretch. I didn't

206
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: with the department. Yeah, I'm talking to juvenile. We're gonna

207
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: go get to that. Okay, did juveniles? Man? I did

208
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: that first one party fourteen months I came back. I did.

209
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: I did total with three of them. I ain't learned.

210
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: Tween the age of thirteen. I spent my sixteenth birthday

211
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: at one of those places. So between the age of

212
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: thirteen and sixteen, I didn't total of three of those

213
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: damn juvenal pays. One of them was for fourteen months

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: and the other two was for six months apiece, for

215
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: six months a piece, so and that was before my

216
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: sixteenth pirth day. So I would I would be remissed

217
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: to say that you probably didn't get to go back

218
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: to that nice facility that she went to the first time.

219
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, And I wish I did, and I wish

220
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: I did, because no, I'm lying to you, I didn't

221
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: because the other facilities. By the time I started going

222
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: to the second and third facility, that ship was a

223
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: kid walked for me, you know what I mean. So

224
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: it was that's why I was coming home in six months.

225
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: The sittence was longer, but I was doing them since

226
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: and six months because I was thirsty to get back

227
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: to the speech and do same ship I was doing.

228
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: So I knew how to get in and out, but

229
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: I knew how to play the game. Now let's get

230
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: back to that. Man. Hold on, because this this is

231
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: an important part right here. So when you get out

232
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: of jail, like when you get doing your juven all time,

233
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can call the jail still

234
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: l You don't have your freedom, but you come home, man,

235
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: you're back in the f G right. You know you're

236
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: hitting your pockets and everything when the cracks start popping up. Okay, Now,

237
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I came home from what juvenile big in nineteen ninety,

238
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: and I was messing with my men, big nut rest

239
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: in peace, nothings nothing. Let me let you every figure

240
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: out of Lofeed guards in Brooklyn and New York City.

241
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: I was messing with my man nothing. We go back

242
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: to juvenile history, thinking practice and all that. But in

243
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety I came home from a juvenile thing and

244
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I was messing with him, and I saw him change

245
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: on me. He was like yo, I'm not digging the

246
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: more fucking practice no more. And he became a hustler

247
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: and the drug dealer, you know what I'm saying. So

248
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: around the year nineteen crack was heavy to the point

249
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: where everybody wanted to be drug dealers. And with that

250
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: drug sheet in New York City came gun violence and beef.

251
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: And that's where my projects went wrong. We only got

252
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: seven builders, bro, who were gonna turn against each other.

253
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: So all those childhood friends and that's who breveried each other,

254
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: child with friends. At the end of the day, it's

255
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: all because of the crack game. Because before we started

256
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: indulging in crack and we were just doing the digging

257
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: poppets and the petty Brodery's, everybody loved each other. We

258
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: competed because you know, friendly competition, but it was love crack.

259
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: That ship did a number throughout the country, I'm quite sure. Yeah, yeah,

260
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, Midwest, everywhere within the the story was.

261
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: The story was the same everywhere you had lifelong friends

262
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: to go together. I'm talking about people from the same

263
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: lot start gelling each other, bro. Yeah, Now I said

264
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: it on one of his record he was referring to

265
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: rap when he said best friends become strangers. But that's

266
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: what happened in the crack game too. Best friends became

267
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: strange point when they would take each other live. Wow, man,

268
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and you was running with some pretty pivotal people. I've noticed.

269
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: It's it's a few people that's really important to your story.

270
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot more, but it's too In particular, World

271
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: and Wise, worldand Wise, my childhood friends, Wise rest in peace.

272
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: Wise is the only person I've ever known as a

273
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: big brother, even though he wasn't my biological brother. That

274
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: was World's big brother. Now growing up in Lafia, Guards,

275
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: we grew up in the same building. Like we're saying, box,

276
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Me and World used to play with g I, Joe's

277
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: and Smurfs Like that's how That's what we did. And Wise,

278
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: my Rime which was his real name, was his big brother.

279
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: So he can't have a finger on his little brother

280
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: without acknowledging me and I don't have a big brother.

281
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: So he raised both of us. The World was younger

282
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: than me, you know what I mean. World was younger

283
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: than plus. I was a little I was a little

Speaker 1: conduct myself with these motherfuckers. And that's what it was.

437
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,040

00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: community because I believe the kids they got there's a

532
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: future right there. If we don't look at them, them

537
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: with the kids being at I recently jumped on YouTube

538
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: with the LG story Me and my man Mike st

539
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: Last shout out Mikey, my my partner shouting to st

540
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Last giving us that platform on YouTube. Ever since we

541
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: did this, we've been getting so much positive feedback and

542
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: love and community. Where see, I did the twenty two

543
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: years and I didn't return back to my community. You

544
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: understand I'm saying I had to give myself a chance,

545
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: which was not returning back to my community and get

546
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: my life together. Don't get me wrong. I hit the

547
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: ground running and I made sure I gave back to society.

548
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: I just didn't get report back to my community. So

549
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: you got a lot. I popped up here and there

550
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: they seeing my face, but a lot of the youth

551
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: they heard of me, and they don't know me and

552
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: my man Mikey he'd been off the set for twenty

553
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: two years, maybe since Nut died. Rest in peace. So

554
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: they don't know us, and this YouTube ship has introduced

555
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: them to us. So we got their attention. And while

556
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: I got their attention, I must give them a message.

557
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: I got their attention. Bro, it would be a disservice

558
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: of me to not do that. So while I got

559
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: the attention, I want to give them a message so

560
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: they don't I have to go through with me and Mike.

561
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: You went through. That's to the youth. And that's what

562
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: I'm saying because you know, man, I'm very fortunate man

563
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: that I have never been in the penitentiary. You know,

564
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,040

Speaker 1: home the same. It was like something missing with him.

00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, missing, Like what just like man,

569
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, like I got one partner that came down.

Speaker 1: He came on hell of pair of noise. He came

571
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,200

00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: was okay over there. You know what I'm saying. So
