Man, that was the 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.160 only that was the real curse at the Europeans put 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:06.320 on us. Man, they introduced that pistol to the world. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.080 in a real way. We can run. We can run 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.400 from a we can run from a knife, a dagger, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.760 you know what I'm saying. In the boring arrows, we 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.240 got a better chance with that from what from what 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.840 you know, coming from the Motherland where we had you 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.320 know what I'm saying, Well, I mean you know, to me, 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.760 we all play a part. And you know, being a 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:33.040 youngster coming up in in those days, you know, your 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.960 figure is the weir the world. This is how you 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.680 get down. And you know, after being a victim of 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.320 of a drive by shooting and all that ship, I 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.880 thought it was the best man. If fight fire with fire, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.360 should I say? And you know that just launched is 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.640 something totally different. And you know, back then we still 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.920 had a like I respect kind of cold you know 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.920 what I'm saying. You know, this is my purpose here 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.120 it you know what I'm saying. It wasn't too you know, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.040 shoot that little kids and all that other ship. But 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.720 it's just like it's way out of hand right now. 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.040 It's it's like back then up into now, it's still 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.839 a bunch of reacting without thinking. You know what I'm saying. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.520 It was, it was and that's and that's how innocent 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.200 backstanders and kids got involved with straight bullets, because everybody 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.559 was just out in the street and joined the weather 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.760 and didn't nobody knew that. We had an argument at 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.320 the skating reef, argument at the game room, you know 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.359 what I'm saying, And then followed and then it followed 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.360 back over to and say, hey, I can't beat this 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.520 guy because he's six ft tall and I'm I'm five five. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.320 So now I'm gonna go get this this this this gun. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:47.960 You know what I'm saying. That put in some work 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.279 and it's and and that's what kind of makes me 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.400 think like the brothers that had that Napoleon complex, just 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.080 leave people alone. If you got that complex and you 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.839 feel like you can't fight a giant, what you bark? 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.200 Love the giant tree? Fu Well, a lot of cats 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:08.200 out here today. And I listened to some of your videos, 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.960 and and you know that everybody want to be a gangster. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.479 Everybody want to be with the business. But everybody is 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.279 not with the business, you know. And and I gotta 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.039 I gotta saying gangster by nature and not by choice. 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.680 A lot of those dudes do it because they see 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.440 it and they think that's the the way to be. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.960 You know, it's sad to say that. You know, our 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.720 women love hardcore cats, you know what I'm saying. So 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.160 everybody feel they have to be on that made. But 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.520 when the test come, if you ain't ready for that test, 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.320 point me. You can talk all the ships you want, 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.800 but as soon as that cat, a real cat, get 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.120 at your ass, you ain't ready for it. Right, You're 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.640 gonna you're gonna fold. And when you fold, it's all over. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.080 That's so that's where they that's where they sunk up at. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.880 Every Body ain't ain't with it like that, right, And 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.920 and they always said the the good girls like bad 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.800 guys and for some of our reason, and you know, 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.560 I don't know if it's it's but that's the opposite 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.560 to track. Yeah, it's true, it's true. We we know 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.760 she a school girl, we know she green, We know 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.120 that this, this, this whatever we're trying to stash, and 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.960 Haide is safe in her house, you know what I'm saying. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.560 So it'd be it'd be a it's a survival tactic 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.480 for real, right right, it's it's it's a weird choice. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.640 And we pick and choose, and we know who the 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.560 funk with and who not to funk with. But you know, 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.520 I was I was uh reading up on you and 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.680 how you mediate the the hip hop thing. You know 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.520 what I'm saying. Boy, I wish she was there when 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.919 death row it's cats, because you know, sure Night didn't 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:55.520 listen and not I was there. I was there. I 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.159 used to talk to Sugar plenty of times, like we 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.920 stayed in tune or I seen I was in there 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.920 when he got shot in Miami. Okay, Yeah, so I 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.520 always gave him advice to man, you know, But once again, 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.120 when you get the guys, it's a difference if you're 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.160 a guy from the street with millions, and then you 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.920 got a guy in this industry with millions. It's it's 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.160 it's still a battle because we're still looking at it 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.000 like it's a mancho thing, you know, it's it's a 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:29.119 testosterone thing. Like why this guy even cared to tell 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.680 me to don't involve myself with such certain things, you 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.000 see what I'm saying. And that's because it's like, listen, 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.280 you're gonna be a fool with some money or you're 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.280 gonna be a genius with some money. Which one you 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:46.120 choose to be? Well, I can say you made the 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.720 a bad choice. Um. You know, like I said earlier, 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.480 you know some people and just the power you know, 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.480 some people don't know how to control that are now 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.880 to deal with that type of power it you know, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.280 over men, and and you know, not growing up with 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:10.160 that and not understanding the hardcore ship of it. And 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.280 then once you get that power, you just you just 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.200 run crazy with it. And I think that's what happens. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.840 You know a lot of us don't know how to 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.600 deal with it. Well, some cats they can't deal with 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.720 it because if I'm not like that, and then I 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.360 can pay my way to to to be this person 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.240 I'm rocking and rolling with it. But then at the 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.240 end of the day, you have to keep that personic. 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.679 You have to stage this cat. Now you're gonna have 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:46.640 creditors getting at you, just trying to see what type 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:51.040 of cat you really is. And once you fold and 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:55.199 and and lose that, then the game is over the 0:08:54.800 --> 0:09:00.280 game because the we're gonna spread like wild fighting. So 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.160 it I mean, it's just a it's it's it's a 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:07.400 funky situation. But you know, I watched and I listened. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:12.839 You know, you were talking to uh P Noble, you was, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.040 you did an interview with them, and oh yeah, today 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.280 my birthday.

So you grow up believe in this, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.080 and then you have resentment for pops. And this is 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.520 what's going on through through all our households with with 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.320 with young black men growing up. Mama don't make it 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.840 no better talking about the daddy. Daddy don't make it 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.520 no better talking about moms. So, I mean, you know, 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.320 it was just it was It's a no win situation, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.280 you know, unless you got that strong black woman telling 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.240 you your daddy was just going through and trying to 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.600 find itself nine times out of tend that he don't 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.840 find itself nowhere but in the penitentiary. And you know 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:05.640 that that's what fox us up. But I'm I'm I'm 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.280 like this. I'm I'm one of those cats that you 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.120 can say, if I know what I knew, then I 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:13.760 would have been a better I would have been a 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.640 better person. I wouldn't have been involved in doing halving 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:23.719 the ship I was doing. But here I am why 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:30.280 I blame anybody for my shortcomings. Once I turned sixteen fifteen, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.640 I should I'm at the point where I should know better. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.920 You know what I'm saying, I should know if I 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.160 want to get in this car and go do this. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.160 I should know if, if, why do I want to 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.839 hurt this person? This just cat ain't did shipped to me, 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.319 but it was just in me because of my upbringing. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:54.360 And I chose to use that as a excuse to 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.959 say I got a right to do this. I can 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.720 do this just because you know what I'm saying, because 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.880 this happened to me, or this is the way I 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.720 grew up, So let me inflict my intimosity, my pain 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.600 on this other cat. So you know, and the and 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.280 and it. It caused a lot of problems, you know, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:17.720 going to jail, going to the penitentiary. I had a 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.960 strong support sys of my sisters and all of them, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:26.000 you know, helping with my kids. But I wasn't there 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.800 for him. I wasn't there for him. And I got 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.160 two boys, which man, I'm glad to say turned out good. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.200 You know, they both went to college. My daughter it's 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.400 doing three years right now because she more like her 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.960 mom and dad, you know. On that. I don't give 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.080 a fun type of ship. You don't want to hear nothing. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.800 So it's center to the penitentiary. In a sense, I 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.480 feel like I'm the blame because I shouldn't have let 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.920 her go back into the environment with her mom's because 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.720 her mama been to the an attentiony and I let 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.880 her go back. I raised her for seven years when 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.640 her mother went to prison for the second time, and 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.360 I should have kept it from that, but I didn't. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.080 So you know, she wanted to see her mama and 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.400 go home. When her mama got out of prison, I 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:22.360 made I made her give me a year. She got 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.840 her ship together, you know, start driving trucks, she and 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:30.080 the church, the whole nine. But as soon as I 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.960 took that, that that leash off of her, she when 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.400 he got pregnant, she started gang banging. You know. Her 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:43.760 mama was known female in the neighborhood, let's say, with 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:48.480 the business. So they accepted her with open arms, with 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:54.120 no questions asked. And you know, I tried to figure out, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.400 you know, what could I have did different? Maybe shouldn't 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.760 listened to somebody else. But in that they're not so 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.200 much of that because I've been down that same road. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.560 My baby mama done e letter years in the FIDS. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.640 You know what I'm saying. Um, So my two daughters 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.440 by her, you feel me. You know, it was a 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.880 collective hole to You know what I'm saying with all 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.360 my children, that she was the mother figure to all. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:22.040 You know what I'm saying. That situation happened. You know, 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.040 I basically had all the kids like too a soldiers. 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.320 You know what I'm saying. Yes, sir, no, sir, you know, 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:31.520 drill sergeant. But it's like when she came home, she 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.560 felt like that time that was missed, she had to 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:39.160 kind of be a friend the parents. Like I tell 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.200 her to listen when you when you come out here, 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.680 don't don't get solved because you missed that time. They 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.080 really didn't miss nothing because I made sure they kept 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:52.760 They made every visit, every phone call, pictures. You see 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:57.080 what I'm saying, So don't don't. I know you in 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.640 your mind, I feel like you left them and away 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.120 from them, But in reality you really wasn't because they 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.280 called every visit, whether they shipped you, whever they were 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.720 shipping you, I'm flying them and making sure they get there, 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.639 you know what I'm saying. So at the end of 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.520 the day, I knew that the kids would play off 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.959 of that. You know what I'm saying that she was 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.320 trying to make up for lost time and you know, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.080 the kids gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna play them games. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.960 You see what I'm saying. So the majority of the 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.439 time of me having to um discipline my children was 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.280 because of how they was trying to play her, and 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.960 they knew better, you see what I'm saying. So when 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.520 I here, I am laying there trying to protect her 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:44.160 from being misused buys them, she get mad at me, 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.760 you see what I'm saying. So it was like, you know, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.760 so it then it turns into okay, well when they 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.200 run you up the wall, don't call me about nothing. 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.840 I don't want to, you know what I'm saying. So, uh, 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.000 because I told you hit the ground running, keep your 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.439 foot mashing on the gas like you never left. You 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.520 know what I'm saying. Be the mother, don't try to 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.800 be the friend in the system. You know what I'm saying. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.119 That's the problem today. Yeah, so you know so you 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.720 know so you know, I'm proud of all of them. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.520 You know what I'm saying. I sit back and as 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.440 I have to look at myself as to say, it's 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.960 girls just on this internet. They're twerking and they're going 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.040 next it. You know what I'm saying and all that. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.640 So I'm I'm I'm I'm blessed to where my daughters 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.000 have enough respect for me because don't do that like 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.080 I'm gonna go I'm gonna go through the phase of 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.840 the different hair colors and the eyelashes and all that, 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.320 you know what I'm saying, or even the tight clothing. 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:47.119 But it's kind of like, at least I'm not seeing 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.359 what I see on the internet. You know what I'm saying. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:53.560 It's it's it's uh, it's off pouring basically, you know 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.560 what I'm saying. And always be mindful that those are 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:01.000 somebody daughters. So what happens by me having daughters, my 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.879 father instinct kicks in all times, even if I'm on 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.160 these little guys tour relanes in them page and they're 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.840 making a girl's twerk and pull milk all on their 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.280 body and all that, and they're doing this in front 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.639 of three hundred thousand people, you know what I'm saying. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.240 But it's a lot of times that when the girls 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.320 get on there, you know, we're typing in the comment, 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.959 hold on, bro, she gotta show I d how did 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.600 she she looked too young? You know? Or you know 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:33.240 you're doing this. You see what I'm saying, it's it's weird. 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.800 And then you know, when you do have daughters, you 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.640 have to be mindful of their friends. That's from school 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.359 and things like that, because them younger girls they know 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.600 how they they know how their friends looks up to 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:49.600 their fathers. So I have to be a strong guy, 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.880 you see what I'm saying. To where that when the 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.000 girls hitting on me or whatever, say no, you're my 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.080 daughter age or you're my daughter friend. So you got 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.880 to be a strong individual because a lot of these 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.520 young girls look like they full grown women. You know 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.080 what I'm saying. I mean even from I'm saying eighteen 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.640 up to twenty five. But you still gotta say, so 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.760 what would help me if my oldest is twenty eight 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.760 I'm a little for some thirty five and up. You 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.760 see what I'm saying, right, I'm not. I'm not gonna 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.560 play around and they feel you know, so I showed 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.080 him respect and they showed in return. So that's that's 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.719 just basically hack. Oh you gotta give respect to get it, 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.080 That's right, That's right. Yeah, man, I'm I mean, it's 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.920 a struggle. You know what I'm saying. Trying to raise them, 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.960 especially when they've grown and they think they know everything. Um, 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.080 you know, my daughter shaved. I mean, that's how you was, 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.679 That's how my mama was. You know, how do I 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.080 react to that? You know what I'm saying, be better, 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.879 you'd be better than what we were. Show a difference. 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.800 Somebody gotta show a difference. That that was like for me. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.639 I had my son, the third child i'm telling you about. 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.680 He graduate a to college. You see what I'm saying. 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:06.320 So I besides my aunt, I think my mother's younger sister, 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.919 she graduated college. So she was about the only person 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:15.040 that I personally knew that graduated college or stayed in 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:20.919 school along. She kept switching up. Um so now you know, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:26.720 she kept she kept switching up what you call like profession, 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.639 She kept switching them up. So she just forever staying 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.359 in school's punning, you know. So um So besides that, 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.960 it's like my parents saying, Okay, when you get sixteen 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.240 or you get your permit, we're gonna buy you a car. 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.560 You know the stuff that they was telling me when 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.960 I was ten years old. You see what I'm saying. 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:47.119 But back time I'm thirteen, I got a million dollars 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.720 in counting. By time I'm fifteen, I got three kids, 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.119 so I'm doing all this on my own. Nobody was 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.000 able to take care of me. You know what I'm saying. 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.639 Because I'm in the street. You know what I'm saying. 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.480 Thirteen fourteen, we're fighting gang lady murders. You know what 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.280 I'm saying. The crew stood solid. You know, you come 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:09.320 from up under situations. You see what I'm saying. You know, 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.359 take the case and they run a concurrent. So all 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.840 I knew is how to stay solid in them situations 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.200 and know that don't fall back victim to them situations 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:24.119 as well, you know, And you know, just that whole 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.359 life or how reckless we was, Like I just reflect 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.760 on a lot of things, like we're catching guys and 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:33.440 they got their mother with him going into the grocery store. 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.159 But because he got his head to the opposite side 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:39.240 of what we wear, we're whooping his ass in front 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:41.560 of his mama, And that's that's not nothing to be 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.480 proud of to this day, you know. But it's like, 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.040 why would you put your mother in harm's way? You 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.120 see what I'm saying, Going to the store with her, 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.520 with your hat to the left or you know what 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.159 I'm saying, or to the obvious is why would you 0:22:55.200 --> 0:23:00.720 do that? Right? So that alone made a lot of 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:03.919 disconnect with parents as well, because it's like, listen, you 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.120 had to come clean with your parents, like, look, mom, 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.280 I can't just be going to know any store with you. 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.400 You know what I'm saying. My oppositions is over there, 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:14.080 what you mean opposition? So of course she grew up 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.320 in it too, so she knows what's going on, you 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:21.200 know what I'm saying. So it was like, man, man 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.359 of life, we really had to live. Man is we 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.000 I'm grateful to see another year today, bro, you know 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.960 what I'm saying. So so, I mean we have the 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.359 same thing, but we had what you called we gave 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:36.840 people a pass. You with your mama and your kids. 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.640 I'm not gonna shoot you. I mean I might hurt 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:43.159 your kids, you know. And and you know, doing my 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:46.119 gang banging days, gang banging was the only thing I 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:48.959 focused on. I'm not gonna snatch your first I'm not 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.760 gonna go do this this robbery and do this other bullshit. 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.520 My purpose was gang banging and afflicting as much pain 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.280 as I could on anything, and anybody that opposed me, 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.320 you know what I'm saying. So it was a it 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.720 was a big difference trying to hurt somebody that was 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:12.120 with their parents. Are their kids were not a difference 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:15.320 from us. We had a cold, baby's on up. That's 0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:18.199 how reckless we was. We don't care about nothing. You 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:20.719 know what I'm saying. I just, I just and like 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.879 that's that literally was what we was known for. You know, 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.119 we was the enforces of this city, you know what 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.960 I'm saying. So any calls from from from the mob 0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.800 or whatever, we had to carry them moves out. So 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:35.399 you it wasn't no turning yellow, you know, that was 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:37.200 a thing we used to say, you boy, we better 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.560 not catch you turning yellow. We're gonna leave you there. 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.919 You know what I'm saying, which admit for the light red, red, green, 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.840 and yellow. You know if you get if you hesitant, 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.160 we're gonna leave you there because we know you ain't 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.080 about this life. So a lot of times you had 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.720 to witness people that you came up with get left 0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.520 on the scene of a situation because you you know 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.359 what I'm saying. You know, it's always if you're running 0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.840 in the pack, it's always if it's tending that back, 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.679 it's four y'all gonna be on the same page, and 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.919 then it's gonna be six. That's iffy. So in in 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:15.000 them situations, once them four look at each other and 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.560 give each other that I that six might have to 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:20.640 stay there. You see what I'm saying. You know, when 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:22.760 you're dealing with a lot of stuff like that, bro 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:26.679 for so many years and time, it just it takes 0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:30.000 a toll on you. So whenever you're able to like 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.600 for me, like you know we got you know, we 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:35.359 go to the tattoos. My whole back is a mural, 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.760 and it ain't it's complete, but it ain't complete with 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.120 a little warm you know what I'm saying. So at 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.320 the end of the day, for me, I knew about 0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:47.920 im playing all the pressure in the pain we never did, 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:54.160 we never did reciprocated until late on. So the pain 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.200 we felt when we lost our one member, you see 0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:02.640 what I'm saying, allowed me to know that all of them, 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.639 all them other how all them other families felt, you 0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:08.080 see what I'm saying. So this is when your conscious 0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.560 started kicking in. When you become conscious and you gotta think, 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.879 like in my neighborhood. It's the nation of Islam. You 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.520 know what I'm saying, Thelijah Muhammed monsters in my neighborhood, 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.680 so you know what I'm saying. So we had the 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:24.000 brothers to look up to as well, you know, And 0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:26.639 it was like being raised on both sides of the street, 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:30.920 the conscious side of things and then the negative side 0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.240 of things. So I knew right from wrong. But I 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:36.639 know every time I go outside that though, it is 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:40.120 what it is. You know. There wasn't no promise, don't 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:44.040 coming back in here. So it was times where Um 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.440 the nation with that they had I don't know what 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.399 when I when our partners had done something, but they 0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:54.560 you know what I'm saying, The brothers had kidnapped them 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.480 and took him in the mars, you know what I'm saying. 0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:59.560 And we had to tool up and running in and 0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.639 get them, you see what I'm saying. So at the 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.040 end of the day, we're running in there with these tools. 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.840 And just a few years ago, you know, I just 0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:15.920 really apologize to Minister fair Con for my actions, you 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.520 know what I'm saying, And and he and he and 0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:23.359 he Um acknowledged that and gave me all of love 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:27.600 and guidance and coverage. That it was because he understood 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:33.240 that my pack with my brothers, you see what I'm saying. So, 0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.720 so I ain't gonna lie. Bro like that took a 0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:40.320 lot of weight off me because you know what I'm saying. Uh, 0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:43.240 he's definitely a martyr in my eyes, you know what 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:47.600 I'm saying. So for him to always embrace me and 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.000 me coming up with his children and grand children and 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:54.159 stuff like that, and sending busses to my projects, you 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.359 know what I'm saying. It was like every Sunday he 0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:59.800 has sent busses to my projects because the nation was 0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:03.360 throw parties, you know what I'm saying. And um, if 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.560 you come to if you come to the mass to 0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:09.280 hear the lecture, when you the next next Friday or Saturday, 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.160 when a party, you get a ticket so you get 0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:14.880 in free. That was that was my way to get 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.880 thirteen hundred or more people to get on this bus 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:30.159 come to the I was able to do that, you know, 0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:34.080 I was able to. So I just I just made 0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:38.560 myself try to even up and not have a testosterone 0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.440 battle with every brother that I come across and not 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:46.040 getting the toughness contest. How the minister would do it 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.520 was would make it too war is that we come 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:51.800 to the Mars to hear his lecture, you know, and 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.080 then the brothers would give us tickets you know what 0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.800 I'm saying, to come to a party that the nation 0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.200 was involved in, you know what I'm saying. So, um, 0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:04.360 he would send busses to the projects to transport us back. 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:07.600 So what was happening I had I was in the 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:11.360 projects on the west side of Chicago, in the village, 0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:14.080 but the buses will bring us to the east side 0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:18.160 of Chicago on Stony Island, which was my neighborhood. So 0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:21.840 that basically was like a ride for me from one 0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.120 side of the town to the next, because now I 0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.240 can go to school the next morning. You see what 0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:29.160 I'm saying, This grammar school time. But that gave us 0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.080 the pre teens. That gave something for the pre teens 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:34.920 to do, which is why so much crime is going 0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:37.520 on now. The pre teens don't have nothing to do, 0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:40.720 they don't have no money, they can't the why m 0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:43.440 c A's is no longer you know what I'm saying, 0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:45.920 Or the prices was too high for y m c A. 0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:48.240 So what you think the kids gonna do. They're gonna 0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:50.960 roam the streets. You know. I had to run in 0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:54.720 with with the march we had Incompton. You know, we 0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:57.920 went to the motherfucker and uh, you know, they get 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.080 us from the park, tell us to come to and 0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:03.240 and listen to the word. And we're going there and 0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:07.480 we're listening. I'm gang banging, I'm I'm affiliated, I'm with it. 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:10.960 So we get up and we were hopping our cards 0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:14.080 to go up there. And it was a question I 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:16.920 wanted to ask because they were talking about the blue 0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:20.200 eyed devil. Well, if you're preaching this, how is you 0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:24.800 preaching about the blue ete devil? And YadA YadA, we 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:29.920 biased to color race or whatever, and he told me 0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:32.479 to be quiet. We asked the questions at the end 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:34.760 or whatever you came to ask that you just listen 0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.360 to the word. And I was like, you know, fun 0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.080 this ship. Let me get up and go. So my 0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.719 whole crew got up and left with me. So they 0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.760 came out and said it was like a sign of disrespect. 0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:49.960 I turned around, bounds, gave up the funk you sign 0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:53.640 and and and just we left. When we went back 0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:58.040 to the park, we knew, well I knew that it 0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:00.760 was that was the wrong way to you know, do it. 0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:03.520 You know, them brothers on a totally different page in US, 0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:07.480 and I was out of line. So maybe a week 0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:11.120 two weeks went by, I went back up there myself 0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.480 because I didn't want the homies to go up there 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.200 with the homies and they see me apologizing to people. 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:18.640 So I went up there and apologize on my own 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:23.280 and and it was it was good from there. My cousins, 0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:27.960 the Phrasiers, are Muslims, so I felt like I was 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:33.480 disrespecting them too. So it's it's it's it's crazy, man, 0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.440 It's crazy, Joe, Joe. I wanted to ask you. I 0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:38.600 know that you talked about it, because you know, I was. 0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.680 We had what you would called six back in the 0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:46.440 um shote, you know, called mom, you know mom, and 0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:48.680 you were talking about brothers. Waring. He had a certain 0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:50.520 way because you touched on some of the rules, some 0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:52.760 of the dudes and don't when you broke them through Chicago, 0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:59.760 well you know, um, well, each area, each side basically 0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:03.960 had a strong force, whether there was g DS, Vice Lord, 0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:07.440 black peace stones. So when you when you think of 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:12.400 the South Side that was basically predominantly black, peace stones 0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:15.920 and gangster disciples black disciples, you know what I'm saying. 0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:22.880 The West side, the west side was predominantly vice lords, 0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.680 you know what I'm saying, because they had a branch, 0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:29.960 different branches, the vice lords, and you had, uh, the 0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:33.360 black gangsters. So what you what you wind up happened 0:32:33.400 --> 0:32:36.600 in the beginning was black gangster disciples, you know what 0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:40.400 I'm saying, under the speak point start. And then you 0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:43.440 had to you had two black peace stones under the 0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.480 five point stock, and you had vice lords under the 0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.960 five point stock with a cane and a hat, you know, 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.480 different branches in the in a in a bunny, you 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.520 know what I'm saying. The bunny rabbit was was one 0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.920 of the basically what you would say a logo, you 0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:00.320 know what I'm saying. So even though we had colors 0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:03.160 as well, blue and black, they was regged and black, 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.160 you know what I'm saying. But we did we didn't 0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.520 solidify herself just off the color, you know what I'm saying. 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:11.960 How we how they would do in l a you 0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.719 know you even read or you was blue. So for us, 0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.280 we had the Latin Kings. So when you see the 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:20.240 golden black, you've seen the Golden Black. You know, you 0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:24.360 had the Latin Kings, so anywhere, anywhere where we would go, 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:29.720 it would be a variety. So every every mob, you 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:35.400 know what I'm saying, so um to the point where 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.760 you know it was gonna be some beef and some problems. 0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.440 So you usun stay in your neighborhood or where when 0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:43.560 y'all predominantly at because you don't want to put nobody 0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:45.800 in harm's way, you know what I'm saying. But you 0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:49.720 always got the billy badasses like us that would go 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:53.520 to the opposition parties. That was the crazy ship we 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:55.520 would do. We was like a death wish, you know 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:57.800 what I'm saying. As soon as we're going the skating 0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:01.400 ring that we knew predominantly was all black, peace stones 0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:04.400 and vice lords called the rink. If you know anybody 0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:06.920 in Chicago asked him about the rink on eight seven 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:10.600 Street that was That was like walking. That was like 0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.200 a crypt walking into jump. That was like a crypt 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:19.239 walking in my piru. You see what I'm saying, which 0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:23.359 of course everybody was amongst each other, but I'm saying, 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:26.120 in one of their party, if James having a party, 0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.200 you know it's gonna be all my piru in the party. 0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.439 You see what I'm saying. But we but we would 0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:37.600 be the dudes from uh corner pocket or something, and 0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.440 we're gonna come We're gonna come in James party. That 0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:43.000 that's how we was, you know what I'm saying. So 0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:45.960 it's like I just think of all that brow so 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:50.440 today to even be enjoying the birthday and and coming 0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:53.560 through this coronavirus and everything that's going on, it's like 0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:58.560 I'm forced to kind of help these younger guys because 0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:02.360 I know for a fact they're dealing with they on 0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:06.040 issues and pains. But I don't want them to be 0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:08.200 just like me. I want them to be better than me. 0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:10.440 And that's what I want them to understand. It's like 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:14.520 I'm not having no mancho man conversation with them. When 0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:17.480 they're telling me they shot something over there. I'm telling them, 0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.040 like man, that that should be your last time shooting man, 0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.279 And they're looking at me like you who we want 0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:25.480 to be? Like what you mean? So what I do 0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:28.960 it's say So what I say is if I'm if 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:31.000 I'm one of the ones who you want to be like, 0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:35.520 be like me from right now, right from the last 0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.680 ten years, be like me. So what you've been seeing 0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:41.080 me doing? Oh man, you're traveling the world. I ain't 0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.080 got no money to do that. You know why you 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.080 don't got the money to do that because you shooting. 0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:48.080 You're using your money on bullets and guns. I'm using 0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:52.560 man on airplane tickets. You see what I'm saying. It's 0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:55.200 not that you can't do it, it's what you're choosing 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:58.200 to do.

Let me ask you this, don't 0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:13.840 do you think that that your lifestyle in your previous 0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:17.040 days coming up as a youngster. They're growing up and 0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:20.800 saying how you get down? It plays impartant and what 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:25.359 they want to be like you're saying now, these cats 0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:28.399 don't see another way. These youngsters don't see another way. 0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:32.040 They want to be like the big homie. How the 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:35.320 big homie did his thing? And and you know what, 0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:37.680 what do you tell them? You know, I got I 0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:42.799 got five ten, I got so many nephews. The only 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:45.640 thing I can say you can never be us? You 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.680 know what I'm saying. I guess I'm asking the question 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.960 with a question, But I mean, what do you tell them? 0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:55.279 You know, you basically tell them, You tell them from 0:36:55.320 --> 0:36:58.000 your experience. You know what I'm saying. Do you want 0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:00.200 to be you know, do you want to be like 0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:03.000 one of our cousins that we lost. Do you want 0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:05.080 to be like my brother one of them that's doing 0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:08.399 twenty six years, that's doing fifty years, that's doing life. 0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:10.279 You want to be like any one of your other 0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:13.879 three uncles that you see calling every five minutes, want 0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.520 us to send put money on eight books and come 0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.080 visit them and send them let us and they ain't 0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.880 get no no sex from no woman. Do that's what 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:26.640 you wanna do, because what you're doing now is what 0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:29.319 got them in that situation. So you just give them 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:33.640 the examples of what they're doing. And you know somebody 0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:37.239 that's in a situation from those actions. You see what 0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:39.839 I'm saying. Do you give up on them? Because they 0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:44.520 don't listen, You don't hear that. No, So so I 0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:47.359 never give up. But like I tell them, I never 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.479 give up. But like I tell them, don't break my heart. 0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:52.799 You know if if you know I was a heartless dude, 0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.960 and I'm telling you, don't break my heart, you know, 0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:58.399 I mean it, it's 't sil you see what I'm saying. 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:02.520 So I would hate they phone calls. A lot of times. 0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:05.120 I would come to they if they're doing music at 0:38:05.120 --> 0:38:09.160 the video shoots. But if y'all are in war with 0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:12.880 with somebody, it's it's it's a it's a fool of 0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.000 me to come post up on the block with y'all 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:18.680 in this war time, you see what I'm saying, unless 0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:22.680 something involved myself in that war with y'all. Right, right, So, 0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:26.319 so my thing is listen because a lot of them 0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:30.239 don't know this, James, like y'all shooting at each other. 0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:34.120 But what you didn't know your great grandmother and his 0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:39.880 great grandmama and sisters, right and now you so so 0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:42.400 y'all have killed this kid over here, but you didn't know. 0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:47.080 But on your father's side, that's your first cousin, right, 0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:50.160 So so now how do you feel You can't you 0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.520 can't love your your cousin on your mama's side more 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:55.800 than you do on your daddy side. You see what 0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:58.360 I'm saying, Which something do we all have done that 0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:03.880 played the favoritism which one hurts us in our culture, 0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:07.200 even starting back front the beginning of time, once once 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:14.280 separatism gat introduced to our culture, everything's been downhill every since. 0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:19.520 I try to, I try to look forward and and 0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.160 and now my whole thing is wanting to give back 0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:25.120 and want to try to figure out a way to 0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:28.800 stop the ship that I did. And I felt, you know, 0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:32.160 with with all the nephews trying to be gang bangers. 0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.600 You know, you know, I tell my nephews, we didn't 0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:39.640 grow up with red hair and and wearing a pair 0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:42.040 of pants with a bunch of zippers on him. This 0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:45.959 is not game banging. Game banging is being active doing 0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:50.040 what bangers do. You can't be a college student and 0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:54.400 then game banker is either or you know what I'm saying. 0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:57.759 When when I grew up, it was a job. This 0:39:58.040 --> 0:40:01.200 my job right here, being on the lock posted with 0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:04.400 a pistol on my shot. My job was to go 0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:07.479 out there and do what I do, and and every 0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:10.600 day was reward for me. And I had to understand 0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:13.680 this is you can't be a half as gang member. 0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:17.480 But that that let me tex. Now let me tell 0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:23.520 you how when they start commercializing gang banging. Right when 0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:27.640 they started letting guys uh do Pepsti commercials and they 0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:32.319 krip walking and shipp in the Pepsi commercials were over here, 0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:36.160 We're mad as a motherfucker because it's like y'all playing 0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.320 with this ship. You see what I'm saying, Like this 0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:41.920 ain't this ain't no joke, like we lost people. You know, 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:43.640 this is our culture. You know what I'm saying, And 0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:46.399 you're not gonna make no mockery out of it, which 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.640 in some as would say, hey man, they opening up 0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:53.400 the gate to give y'all something different to do. But 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:55.800 at the time when we first saw it, it was 0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:58.480 like them. So it was a lot of phone calls 0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:02.120 from the shot to L eight to our relatives and saying, man, 0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:04.680 how y'all letting this ship go down like that? You know, 0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.200 all of a sudden, a raffle want to get on 0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:12.439 and say he banging because where he's from, he don't 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:17.200 got no rifles. So how you banging? Right right? That's you. 0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:20.279 That's being you in this protection, you see what I'm saying. 0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.880 So so if if if I'm coming from Chicago and 0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.920 then I come to l A and now I'm just 0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:32.560 I want to be super super g D. But if 0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:34.560 I'm in l A and don't run into no vice 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:38.040 Lower's and no blackstones. You see what I'm saying. I'm 0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:42.440 just skating. I'm just you feel me? Right? So now 0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:46.480 it's like it's so that ain't that's not fair to 0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:48.960 the coaches, you know what I'm saying. Up banging you 0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:52.160 feel me? So, I mean we play a big part 0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:55.120 of that though, because we're allowing, we accept a lot 0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:58.400 of ship that's been put out here today. We accept 0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:02.000 the advertisement of what we are. We're not paying attention 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:06.480 that a lot of us lost our lives behind this bullshit. 0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:09.600 You know what I'm saying. I got so many homeboys 0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:12.880 in the grave today behind Gang Bang and then you 0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:16.680 do just dying on GP you know, natural causes or 0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:21.480 whatever the case might be. But you know, we accepted, 0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:27.680 we accept all this ship. We accepted. So, like I said, then, 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:30.560 I wouldn't say we to blame now and I say 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:33.839 partial blame. The majority of the blame is on us 0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:38.200 because we're not trying to rectify nothing that that was 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.719 really going on that's going on today, especially with the 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:46.200 rappers that's coming in and and claiming a set, and 0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:49.759 we allowed them to come in and and and rep 0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:52.800 the neighborhood because of money. You know what I'm saying. 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:55.719 And you know I had a situation and I said, 0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:59.840 I never mentioned poker and in any of my conversations again, 0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:04.239 but we had the homies accepting him to be from 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:08.399 the hood. My whole thing is, you can't be from 0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:12.640 the hood because you ain't. You ain't spill no blood, 0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:14.759 you ain't. You ain't did this, you ain't did that. 0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:19.560 And and you know, people don't understand where I'm coming 0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:21.759 from when I say that. You know what I'm saying. 0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.800 We lost a lot of homies. Now we got homies 0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:28.919 putting pictures on the Tupac on their arm, they chest, 0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:31.719 they backed the whole nine. You don't know him like that. 0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:36.160 You know what I'm saying. You didn't. It's it's a 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:39.759 total different thing growing up in the situation than coming 0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:42.800 into a situation. You know what I'm saying, And just 0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:47.279 saying you this is you. And especially if you're an 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:52.319 athlete or entertainer, you don't have to be you don't 0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:55.200 have to get down. The guys in the street will 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:59.719 love the trade places. You see what I'm saying, you 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.040 can tell me I can get on stage for forty 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:05.400 five minutes to an hour and I get paid fifty thousand, 0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:09.719 sixty thousand, fifteen thousand. But or I'm gonna stand over 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.640 in this neighborhood and try to make fifteen thousand a month, 0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:15.680 you know what I'm saying, hustling in the alley, which 0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:19.720 I can probably get shot, robbed, uh or go to jail. 0:44:20.440 --> 0:44:23.640 So so that's so that be the thing that a 0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:28.320 lot of guys in them situations get upset about. But 0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:31.200 because it's like, man, why are you Why are you 0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:34.719 trying to deter us from trying to be where you 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.400 came from. You see what I'm saying, And it's like, 0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:41.959 it's like, bro, because it was about it was about choice. 0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:44.399 It was it was it was in me, It wasn't 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:46.120 on me. You know what I'm saying. That's what was 0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:48.040 going on. You know what I'm saying. Even though it 0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:49.600 was a choice, it was a choice for all of 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:53.040 us back then. But once again, you're tired of going 0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:57.040 to school, walking to walking through three different games, you 0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:59.719 see what I'm saying, and each one of them, ten 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:04.279 team deep trying to jump on you. So in my case, 0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:07.279 if you didn't come from a big family, you know 0:45:07.280 --> 0:45:09.520 what I'm saying, and y'all going to school deep naan 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:13.000 brothers and sisters, then you you was cool, you see 0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:15.560 what I'm saying, because it kind of was a matchmaker 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:17.720 and the fight was gonna be a little more intense 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:20.120 because you know, you can't go back home and tell 0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:23.359 mama you read you see if I'm saying, so when 0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:25.160 you come in here. So that's where a lot of 0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:28.120 my rep came from. When I always say I bully 0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:29.880 the bully. You know what I'm saying. When I'm my 0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.560 mama ly moving and all these different projects, I want 0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:34.839 to know who the bully was. I'm gonna go straight 0:45:34.920 --> 0:45:36.600 to him and let him know this ain't that home, 0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:40.040 you know what I'm saying. So we're gonna fight, We fight, 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.279 We're gonna shoot it out. Haven't we had to do it? 0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:44.759 But you're not gonna violate me in no kind of way, 0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:47.440 you know what I'm saying. That's how I came up. 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:50.520 You know, I don't know how everybody else story different. 0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:53.800 Like I say, I ain't into the game banging wrastling 0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:56.440 match and who the toughest gangster because you know what 0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:58.160 I'm saying. Of course, a lot of them say the 0:45:58.239 --> 0:46:01.040 toughest gangsters is then ng hell for life, you know 0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:03.640 what I'm saying. So at the end of the day, 0:46:03.880 --> 0:46:06.560 I'm cool with being a preventer. I love to be 0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.120 a preventer. I want to prevent it all you want to. 0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:13.840 I had amaze your money. I mean that was the 0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:17.080 shocking part to be because once again, if I know 0:46:17.160 --> 0:46:19.000 what I know now, I would have been doing that 0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:23.600 a long time ago, especially dealing and being around Shuldar 0:46:24.280 --> 0:46:27.239 bringing him to the hood. I would have implemented all 0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:29.520 kind of ship I would have. I would have been 0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:33.120 a little more forceful on get my money. If I 0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.200 was thinking like that, I wasn't thinking like that. I 0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.200 know you. I'm gonna funk with you. You know, show 0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:42.319 me this dream that we all gonna have it. Let's 0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:45.560 rock and roll and I and because because had you known, 0:46:46.120 --> 0:46:48.399 you know what I'm saying, Had you known, it could 0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:51.120 have been like a HARRYO situation. You see what I'm saying, 0:46:51.400 --> 0:46:55.360 I'm gonna have this. I'm gonna have this. Um I 0:46:55.480 --> 0:46:58.840 got this young brother should got a racket company. He 0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:01.799 needs some consults. You know what I'm saying, because you're 0:47:01.800 --> 0:47:04.920 the o g to him. Yeah, so you know what 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:07.600 I'm saying, So he looking for your guidance. But a 0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:09.880 lot of times what happened when them guys get the 0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:13.439 money and if you don't have the same a type 0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:16.040 of money as them, they feel like they don't gotta 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:18.719 listen to you. And that's what's going on today. If 0:47:18.760 --> 0:47:20.839 you ain't having no money or getting no money, it's 0:47:20.880 --> 0:47:23.040 like what I'm listening to you for, So you gotta 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:26.800 listen to these raps and and this, and they ignorant 0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:29.240 to a lot of things. That's why they keep bumping 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:33.080 their heads, you know what I'm saying. So in your case, 0:47:33.280 --> 0:47:35.840 if you would have laid there, had a consultant company, 0:47:36.120 --> 0:47:40.160 a management company, you're probably knowing you you probably are 0:47:40.200 --> 0:47:44.040 still have a huntred two hundred million right now. We'll 0:47:44.120 --> 0:47:46.960 see what I'm saying. And that's the thing, because you know, 0:47:47.160 --> 0:47:50.120 we did a lot of ship you know, uh, walking 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:53.279 into ruthless records and you know, demanding, you know, just 0:47:53.480 --> 0:47:57.439 doing us which you know, if you gotta check then 0:47:57.520 --> 0:47:59.920 I think I should have we should have been compensation 0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:04.560 it for that situation, for the next situation. Everything should 0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:06.960 have been should have been dealt with like that. But 0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:10.040 my whole thing was looking at it here. I am 0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:14.520 never had a uh paycheck such as the ones I 0:48:14.680 --> 0:48:18.320 was getting at the beginning. Uh you know all that 0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:22.440 different exposure, Uh, going out of town and all of this. 0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:25.560 You know, I'm fresh out of prison and I'm in 0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:29.040 North Carolina, you know, just i m out of comforted, 0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:32.759 and I was just loving it. And and when I 0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:36.960 saw the big picture, everybody else was sold already on 0:48:37.080 --> 0:48:39.920 the on the dream that I was sold on at 0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:44.520 the beginning. Down down they stuff and we can't, we 0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:47.279 can't get out of this situation. But you know, it 0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:51.440 was just so much money that went past us. Everybody 0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:55.520 else was getting it. So the way you, the way you, 0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:59.239 the way you did it was like, man, I mean, 0:49:00.920 --> 0:49:04.520 I'm getting paid off of being smart and fixing situations 0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:08.160 and making sure motherfucker's get what they get, getting that 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:11.839 jury back the whole nine. Like you said, if if 0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:17.319 that that change calls fifty tho dollars, let me get 0:49:17.360 --> 0:49:19.719 temper cent of that for getting it back to you. 0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:22.200 I didn't. I didn't do that with him. You know 0:49:22.280 --> 0:49:26.880 what I'm saying. Our whole thing was with that ass 0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:29.560 to be done with it and say fuck it. But 0:49:29.719 --> 0:49:32.600 that's what you know. That's why I'm glad you came 0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:35.480 and said, you know what, you made your bones with him. 0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:39.680 You sent them plus something on his books because you understood, 0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:43.520 See that's a grown man Like I watched that when 0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:46.880 you was like, uh, you sent them something on his books. 0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:49.600 You told him thank you for the opportunity. Because at 0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:54.240 every in reality, it wasn't his fault that James didn't 0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:58.080 have the security company, his consultant company, his management company. 0:49:58.120 --> 0:50:00.560 It's not it wasn't his fault. I put you right 0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:02.080 in the loop. You're in the loop. We mean you, 0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:04.920 my old g you, my big homies. So if if 0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:07.759 if if you would have had a club and said, hey, 0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:10.239 bring all the Death Row artists through the club. You 0:50:10.320 --> 0:50:14.040 see what I'm saying. So it's just just like but 0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:17.880 like you said, you was an enforcer. So by you 0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:22.359 being enforcer, all you thought of, all you thought was enforcing. Yeah, 0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:25.160 So it's it's a lot of brothers that get caught 0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:27.359 up in that. You know what I'm saying. We all 0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:32.040 got caught up in just being enforcer. But I always 0:50:32.120 --> 0:50:35.000 knew how I always knew. I wanted to multitask, you 0:50:35.080 --> 0:50:39.120 know what I'm saying, because I knew that in any 0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:42.000 given day, it's gonna run out over here being this enforced, 0:50:42.000 --> 0:50:46.680 are gonna run out right? It was it was a 0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:50.560 little difference from us for me because here we are 0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:53.720 going at it with the with the police department, feeling 0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:56.800 like our situations was different. It wasn't too much of 0:50:56.960 --> 0:51:00.120 like dudes, freet knew how he was rocking, you know 0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:02.759 what I'm saying, But we're worrying about if we say 0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:06.040 it's a peace treaty or we're gonna deal with our 0:51:06.080 --> 0:51:10.440 own members. Then the police were put on masks, a 0:51:10.560 --> 0:51:13.759 hood or a different color hat. It come through the 0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:16.720 neighborhood and be the one shooting until we was founding 0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:22.320 that out. This has been going on since jad Ohoogl. 0:51:22.520 --> 0:51:26.160 You know what I'm saying. You gotta think look at 0:51:26.200 --> 0:51:28.520 the guys before us. You know what I'm saying. You 0:51:28.680 --> 0:51:32.120 had the Black Panthers, and then you had you had 0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:37.520 Jeff Ford, You had Frederick fred Hampton. You gotta think 0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:40.520 fred Hampton was twenty one years old and they assassinated him. 0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:43.920 You gotta think Jeff Ford was nineteen years old and 0:51:44.000 --> 0:51:47.720 may the United States government give him a million dollars. 0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:52.320 So so people gotta realize that we was on a 0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:55.600 whole different ball game. I come from a whole different clothes, 0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:58.239 but die my clothes. They all make it no more, 0:51:59.040 --> 0:52:01.600 you know what I'm saying. Like like any anybody that 0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:04.640 I'm gonna say I'm looking up to is Larry Hoover 0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:07.520 and Jeff Floyd. We see what the at Larry got 0:52:07.680 --> 0:52:10.400 more life sensences getting you the bum. You see what 0:52:10.440 --> 0:52:14.000 I'm saying. But at the end of the day, for 0:52:14.160 --> 0:52:16.480 him to change and make it growth and development and 0:52:16.640 --> 0:52:20.000 make us aware that, look, we are not our enemy, bro, 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:22.920 like that Willie Lynch there. We gotta get up out 0:52:22.960 --> 0:52:25.560 of here. We gotta get that Willie Lynch theory outside 0:52:25.600 --> 0:52:28.520 of our culture. You know you don't you don't think 0:52:28.560 --> 0:52:31.120 that play a part in and in our culture today. 0:52:31.960 --> 0:52:35.400 If if if they keep us separated, just like you said, 0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:38.080 and then what's the same thing in our neighborhood when 0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:41.400 when none of the games was that war and everything 0:52:41.560 --> 0:52:44.719 was that peace, no shoes and all that. Here you've 0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:48.920 got the police coming in and telling us, oh, your 0:52:48.920 --> 0:52:53.200 homie got killed, whoooooo such and such diuty the first 0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:56.719 thing we on our mind is to go retaliating opposed 0:52:56.760 --> 0:53:00.239 to getting that the gcass over there and saying did 0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:03.040 y'all do this? And they're gonna tell us right off 0:53:03.120 --> 0:53:06.120 hand that that wasn't us, but the police that came 0:53:06.200 --> 0:53:09.680 and kept this war going. M you see what I'm saying. 0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:14.960 So the Willie listening, William this thing now, that's the 0:53:15.040 --> 0:53:18.360 same thing we're doing to day, divide and conquer amongst 0:53:18.400 --> 0:53:21.360 each other. That this is what we are doing. This 0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:24.960 is what hurt us today. We divide and conquered. We 0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:27.400 don't want to see each other come up if I 0:53:27.680 --> 0:53:30.160 see you get it and be and all of this 0:53:30.320 --> 0:53:33.440 other ship and here we are killing each other for 0:53:34.239 --> 0:53:36.719 this bag that that that I don't work my ass 0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:40.200 off for. I don't sold drugs five years straight, ain't 0:53:40.200 --> 0:53:43.439 got caught. They know I got money at home. It's 0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:46.040 the homie that's gonna come in and try to rob you, 0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:50.359 not a stranger. It's it's it's we we we we're 0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:53.400 beating up and killing ourselves. And the seat and the 0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:56.920 seat on that right, I have the meanthic because like 0:53:57.400 --> 0:53:59.680 being in the board in the group loans as a kid, 0:54:00.280 --> 0:54:03.040 you know they taught us how to make jury. So 0:54:03.280 --> 0:54:07.800 I always expressed to any young brother's sister that's watching 0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:11.160 the never set up a brother or set up a 0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:14.280 sister to get hurt over some jury, because it's nothing 0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:19.320 but wax. It's literally a candle, the same candle you 0:54:19.520 --> 0:54:21.920 burn to give us some light in your house if 0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:26.200 you're if you're electricity is all that's what it is. 0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:29.200 It's wax, and then they add the minerals on it. 0:54:29.440 --> 0:54:31.239 You see what I'm saying. So at the end of 0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:34.319 the day, it's like, you're gonna take this person life 0:54:34.480 --> 0:54:37.520 for this candle. So you know what I'm saying, James, 0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:40.319 So I make sure that when you see these guys, 0:54:40.360 --> 0:54:42.480 and then a lot of these guys is wearing morson 0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:46.319 nights they win the Cubic Zaconian. So at the end 0:54:46.320 --> 0:54:49.040 of the day, none of us are none of us 0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:52.359 are as gemologists. So you don't know what you don't 0:54:52.400 --> 0:54:56.160 even know what you're ine. So at the end of 0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:58.160 the day, I was able to go to the South 0:54:58.280 --> 0:55:01.880 for the Motherland and and see the biggest raw uncut 0:55:02.000 --> 0:55:04.680 stone in the world. You know what I'm saying. I 0:55:04.840 --> 0:55:07.279 was able to look through that glass and just be like, damn, 0:55:07.480 --> 0:55:09.880 you know, at one point in time, the Damnon didn't 0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:12.239 have no value. A lot of people don't know that 0:55:12.600 --> 0:55:15.399 the the Beers made a value to a diamond because 0:55:15.400 --> 0:55:17.960 it was just a lot of stones that they had 0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:21.000 access to once they was over there. But in reality, 0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:23.239 had they sold the damnon and put a price on 0:55:23.320 --> 0:55:26.479 the diamond was through marriage. So a lot of people 0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:28.800 don't know that. So that's why for me, it's like 0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:31.919 I don't need no paperwork and no court to tell 0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:33.719 me who I need to be with for the rest 0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:36.920 of my life and all that because deploy was to 0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:39.440 put a price on the damond. So if y'all when 0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:44.680 y'all get off of this, um, go to YouTube or google. Uh, 0:55:45.200 --> 0:55:50.200 the the Beers marketing playing. It's like they marketing playing. 0:55:50.239 --> 0:55:52.399 That's how they marketed the diamond to put a price 0:55:52.480 --> 0:55:54.759 on the diamond. And they started it off with the 0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:59.719 commercial of of the proposal with the ring, and that's 0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:04.000 how they put a price on diamonds. Man, Damn, ain't 0:56:04.040 --> 0:56:08.359 that crazy? So I didn't know. I mean, that's that's 0:56:08.400 --> 0:56:11.960 what I'm fair sober So. So you're taking a stone, 0:56:12.160 --> 0:56:16.360 a gem that was priceless, keeping man you're taking a 0:56:16.640 --> 0:56:20.239 stone that was priceless. Now you're putting a price on 0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:25.480 it to make people kill each other over it. But 0:56:25.600 --> 0:56:28.800 in reality, it's just a piece of glass. There's a 0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:33.120 piece of glass, and it's and and and to mold. 0:56:33.239 --> 0:56:38.320 It is waxed, that's hardened shape detail, But it's not 0:56:38.480 --> 0:56:42.160 worth your life, right. But what I mean, that's the 0:56:42.280 --> 0:56:44.960 choice that we make when we when we do each other, 0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:47.600 you know what I'm saying, Like with the with the 0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:51.280 when the cocaine hit, you know, some of the homies 0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:53.880 didn't have it, but when they saw the money that 0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:56.680 was being made in it. This when we started doing 0:56:56.719 --> 0:57:00.200 each other, you know what I'm saying. And it's been 0:57:00.320 --> 0:57:03.480 like that every since, you know what I'm saying. So, 0:57:04.040 --> 0:57:08.080 I mean, my my whole point is we have to 0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:11.160 find some type of way to get back to the 0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:15.399 earlier days how motherfucker's respected each other and seeing each 0:57:15.400 --> 0:57:18.320 other in a different value than than we do now. 0:57:18.920 --> 0:57:21.640 We really don't give a funk about each other today. 0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:26.600 So that charish life, lore cherish life, and and it 0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:31.960 shouldn't take us to get oh to to start seeing ship. 0:57:32.400 --> 0:57:36.320 So if we started teaching these junctions and showing them 0:57:37.160 --> 0:57:39.800 a different way. Like a lot of guys in Chicago. 0:57:39.920 --> 0:57:42.760 I know they see you haven't been everywhere. And I 0:57:42.920 --> 0:57:46.640 saw that, and you know, getting that passport, I just 0:57:47.480 --> 0:57:51.560 at at I went last year at fifty four and 0:57:51.840 --> 0:57:55.880 able to see something like way across in another motherfucker 0:57:55.920 --> 0:57:57.920 on the other side of the planet. I went to 0:57:58.040 --> 0:58:02.480 Australia and it was like, you know, just listening to 0:58:02.760 --> 0:58:05.240 how you you was explaining that I went through the 0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:08.960 same thing, just seeing how other people live.
