Speaker 1: Pete Dog was heading in shore Man just out here
Speaker 1: in the safe haven. You know, is anybody still alive
Speaker 1: in California? Are you guys even in California? Don't liberal
Speaker 1: me to death? Man? Come on with all that liberal jargon.
Speaker 1: What little jargon. Every time I go on social media,
Speaker 1: one of my friends posted about how their favorite rapper this,
Speaker 1: you know that's happen. That's because like rapping today is
Speaker 1: like just being a human being, and everybody's a rapper,
Speaker 1: everybody's an actress, everybody something. So what I'm saying that
Speaker 1: it always seems like that. But I guess a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago it was from Florida dudes that were
Speaker 1: getting knocked off out here too. I forgot about that
Speaker 1: still right now. Yeah, and they're making whole rap songs
Speaker 1: talk about them. Who I smoke? Little Lonnie and Niggas
Speaker 1: was singing it. I was like, bro, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: But it's it's funny because that is because I'm in
Speaker 1: a narrative. The narrative is definitely becoming like, oh man, um,
Speaker 1: it's tough being a rapper. And we talked about this,
Speaker 1: you know, when Dolf got kill al right, p doff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't really get to dig deep into the concept
Speaker 1: of what's really going on, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: And it's not in hip hop. It's what's going on
Speaker 1: with human beings that come from our background period. It's
Speaker 1: getting worse and worse, and people are in such a
Speaker 1: weird space of not being able to to generate a
Speaker 1: truly livable wage or economics for themselves. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, That reputation is being over value like social currency,
Speaker 1: just like they had the metaverse. Social currency is starting
Speaker 1: to play a huge part in our community. It was
Speaker 1: already a big deal, right reputation, but now it's like
Speaker 1: they want the same reputation online, asked a regular nerdy kid,
Speaker 1: who was, you know, only committed to the metaverse. So
Speaker 1: they're doing metaverse banging and real banging. Mm hmm, so um,
Speaker 1: I think again. I don't want to get caught up
Speaker 1: in any time a human being los their life, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a sad occasion for that person's mother, father, children,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying for for certain people. But that don't
Speaker 1: mean that people don't put themselves in a position to
Speaker 1: be at war where from in the city. I don't
Speaker 1: know what about him so and that's this. This has
Speaker 1: been disputed. Like I didn't know him, I knew his movement,
Speaker 1: and I was a fan of his movement probably since
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen, sixteen. Um, I've noticed he's always
Speaker 1: pushed thirty second in Naomi. That was the Naomi is
Speaker 1: on the east Side. It's like thirties thirty thirty blood
Speaker 1: thirty problems. I think they're Bloodstone game thirty. It's like
Speaker 1: a thirties game. But then other people say he has
Speaker 1: some kind of affiliation who grew up in the hundreds.
Speaker 1: But I've heard so many different things. But I noticed
Speaker 1: he always flashed asign thirty second of Naomi. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stay with that one. But if I understand correctly, Um,
Speaker 1: he was in like placement homes. I know, stupid Young
Speaker 1: made him in a placement him in a placement home.
Speaker 1: Young situation is unique because like he was a really
Speaker 1: talented dude, like um, he reminded me of a younger
Speaker 1: e forty, complete with his own cultural lingo. And I'm
Speaker 1: saying complete with his own style. Everything about him was
Speaker 1: like culture, like concentrate. You could water some of that
Speaker 1: ship down, and a lot of rappers did water his
Speaker 1: style down and and used it. I'm saying it served
Speaker 1: it to the people as fresh juice. But there was
Speaker 1: so much Draco and a lot of new dude style.
Speaker 1: To me, the most too influential dudes of this whole
Speaker 1: last decade movement is one take J and Draco like
Speaker 1: so many guys wrapped like one take J. So many
Speaker 1: guys wrapped like Draco, yash so um Draco situation is
Speaker 1: a little unique because again it's it is like um dogs,
Speaker 1: where we saw so many things happening right where we
Speaker 1: you know, he's fighting a murder over some situation that
Speaker 1: happened with somethingbody else and come home, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He's still kind of on that energy and
Speaker 1: he on twilve. I mean he's still going hard and
Speaker 1: going hard, and you know, eventually it just catches up.
Speaker 1: You know, everything catches up. So you're either gonna end up,
Speaker 1: you know, hurt. You know you're gonna end up in prison,
Speaker 1: I mean for hurting somebody else. Yeah, give us a
Speaker 1: little comparing contrasts for I don't say and mine as
Speaker 1: to some of the nuances. One of the nuances, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's there's more than nuanced, but like comparing contrasts to
Speaker 1: the other recent passing like a slim four hundred. So again,
Speaker 1: no seilings, g L. This is our fifty second episode.
Speaker 1: That's kind of like a one year episode. There's our
Speaker 1: one year episode, right, Pete in the spot. I got
Speaker 1: my manager producer at the podcast friend big Brother still
Speaker 1: in the spot. He ain't gonna be doing too much
Speaker 1: talking because he don't know about hip hop like this
Speaker 1: no more. I'm here, I'm gonna see I'm gonna teach
Speaker 1: you something. Christ for the new generation. So um it
Speaker 1: was it was like his situation is a bit different
Speaker 1: than slam slam situation. The street says a bit more
Speaker 1: like like like like personal mm hmm, I mean where
Speaker 1: if you look at that situation, it was really fucked up.
Speaker 1: I mean like yeah, it's no, it's no, it's no
Speaker 1: um concrete details. In the streets. There's only ideals, and
Speaker 1: one ideal is sticking. And I believe that idea is true,
Speaker 1: but I'm not confident enough in it to tell and
Speaker 1: say this is what happened. But it'll come out. It
Speaker 1: always does. Draco situation is a lot like Doll situation,
Speaker 1: where he was in a in a in a in
Speaker 1: a public feud, right that started off with a rapper
Speaker 1: but ended up against the streets. So initially it was
Speaker 1: r J initially, but that was a while ago, and
Speaker 1: r J kind of had a you know broker the
Speaker 1: peace you know, extended the olive branch, were piste off
Speaker 1: people in the streets. But I remember that happened, did
Speaker 1: it a line um? Outside of that, he had consistent
Speaker 1: conflicts with other rappers, but nothing I think that was serious,
Speaker 1: crazy crazy series, not as definitely a series as of
Speaker 1: stuff Doll had going on with the rappers or what
Speaker 1: happened was he had a few going on with people
Speaker 1: in the streets. And this is the exact opposite. Like
Speaker 1: my homie asked me, did hip hop fail Draco like
Speaker 1: it failed off? And I'm like, well, it's different because
Speaker 1: people who he began feuding with, right, the rappers is
Speaker 1: a certain situation. But then when you start talking about
Speaker 1: other gangs, other people from cities, all kind of ship, yo,
Speaker 1: it's different because it ain't really no conversation at that point.
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of people who really don't have
Speaker 1: a ton of opportunities and they ain't looking at nothing
Speaker 1: but proving a point so it's tough. But I don't
Speaker 1: even want to really trip off that because rest in
Speaker 1: peace to Draco. You know, I mean one of the
Speaker 1: Cody Sneakers to do it from the land on this
Speaker 1: underground tip. But I want to focus on the rap fans.
Speaker 1: That's something I think hip hop right is getting a
Speaker 1: beat down. Rappers are getting a beat down, but in
Speaker 1: the reality, it's the fans who are fueling it all
Speaker 1: and nobody's talking about it. And I mean, dating back
Speaker 1: to when that whole Warren Shiraq was happening, the fans
Speaker 1: are pushing it. It's like we all see the plane crashing, right,
Speaker 1: we all see the plane coming all the way down right,
Speaker 1: We're watching it right, and we see it's going to
Speaker 1: the earth right, and we're just talking about it, you know,
Speaker 1: we are now and we're telling other people until the
Speaker 1: plane crash. And once the plane crash, then the people
Speaker 1: who follow the culture are in the outrage. Well you
Speaker 1: know what the problem me us bro is the Internet
Speaker 1: has allowed fandom and amenity to just go to a
Speaker 1: whole another level. Because when I was coming up, if
Speaker 1: we saw the only way we saw our favorite rapper
Speaker 1: Bro was on a music video or if we went
Speaker 1: to one of those concerts and even then, you know,
Speaker 1: music videos just wasn't pop popping like that. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, You understand what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 1: almost like the average fan that day doesn't look like
Speaker 1: the rapper, like he's a real person. It's almost like
Speaker 1: their carriage of just at first, and they're looking at
Speaker 1: their life and their lifestyle and everything. So it's like
Speaker 1: then watching the movie. Bro, do you think that that's
Speaker 1: different now than then, because like when you have more
Speaker 1: interactive access you see and more exposure, it would let
Speaker 1: that you would be less sensationalized that if you have
Speaker 1: limited access and limited exposure, well, it's almost an overexposure now.
Speaker 1: And I said this, man, when um, I said this,
Speaker 1: when people first start doing lives, you know, when they
Speaker 1: first started giving people the ability to go live online,
Speaker 1: I said, man, somebody's gonna kill somebody on the internet
Speaker 1: one day. I remember you saying that, but I said
Speaker 1: that back then. I said, somebody's gonna wind up killing
Speaker 1: somebody because fandom is just at all time and they
Speaker 1: don't look at us as um as real people. They
Speaker 1: don't think. But but I'm also let me let me,
Speaker 1: cut you, big, bro, because it's important. Right back when
Speaker 1: I was younger, it was only so many rappers. Now
Speaker 1: what's happening is the streaming era. Me and my homie
Speaker 1: was talking about it. But the streaming era has created
Speaker 1: like this whole middle class of rappers, middle class right
Speaker 1: where it's hundreds of rappers, thousands of rappers, but there's
Speaker 1: so many successful rappers right that you never heard of.
Speaker 1: You could be from l A and never hear of
Speaker 1: rappers or making a hundred two hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Like I'm talking to mc tin and MATC didn't know
Speaker 1: who Draco he was, Like who? And I'm like he
Speaker 1: didn't know who he was what I'm saying, And Draco
Speaker 1: was doing pretty well for himself. He probably easily was,
Speaker 1: you know, uh two hundred to a quarter to three
Speaker 1: hundred dollar artists you know a year, like he was
Speaker 1: getting some money. But streaming has created a place that's
Speaker 1: really dope, and it sence that it can create a
Speaker 1: career for you, you know. But also I think it's
Speaker 1: not great because rappers don't have to really push themselves
Speaker 1: to be the greatest they can. Like when I talked
Speaker 1: to a lot of producers, they're not pushing to have
Speaker 1: the best record in the country like Dre Cat warren Cue,
Speaker 1: you know, all the producers quick they were pushing that
Speaker 1: had the greatest records in the game. Because truly, that's
Speaker 1: really how you made a living, that's how you ate.
Speaker 1: But now you just get a base, you know, an
Speaker 1: audience of people that identify with your movement, right, and
Speaker 1: it really don't matter how good or bad your music
Speaker 1: is long as they feel like we're part of this movement.
Speaker 1: And so everybody is getting paid or something that still
Speaker 1: don't talk about right with his movements, your woment. So
Speaker 1: people are paying for the movement. So the fans are
Speaker 1: this is like an out what I'm saying that this
Speaker 1: isn't out from their regular life. They're a part. People
Speaker 1: feel like they're part of a gang. Like what's funny
Speaker 1: is I was looking at the comments. You know they
Speaker 1: had to fight where you can see the fight unfolding
Speaker 1: between you know, the dudes and Draco's team, and the
Speaker 1: fight is unfolded and I'm watching the fight. You know,
Speaker 1: the other guys are deep and it's more like real
Speaker 1: vet street vets, like you could tell these are people
Speaker 1: who really are familiar, not to mention, they have the
Speaker 1: numbers advantage, so they're trying to fight them. They're all
Speaker 1: trying to fight them. The guys that's with Draco, they're
Speaker 1: trying their best to fight them, but in real life
Speaker 1: they were so outnumbered and kind of like outdug. So
Speaker 1: they're fighting going backwards, getting dropped, person get dropped. They rushed.
Speaker 1: They fighting them back. So everybody's backing up their whole team,
Speaker 1: but they start to back up in two different directions.
Speaker 1: One guy, so the guys that's with Draco is backing up,
Speaker 1: you know straight. The other guys are backing up kind
Speaker 1: of in a h an angle. They're backing up towards
Speaker 1: the gate, but they're both fighting. Nobody turned around and ran.
Speaker 1: They were like holding their ground, but you know the
Speaker 1: other guys were advancing consistently. And I watched people in
Speaker 1: the comments like, oh, they left Draco. They left him,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, they didn't see That's what I mean. Man.
Speaker 1: It's almost like these people think they're playing Grand Theft
Speaker 1: Auto or some ship. It's like this is real ship.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because Draco has a really dope song
Speaker 1: called Grand theft auto that you said that, but that's
Speaker 1: what they really think. They really are. It's a joke
Speaker 1: to them because it's not in their real life. But
Speaker 1: what irritates me is when something finally happens bad right,
Speaker 1: or they're like, oh, we need to change the car,
Speaker 1: Oh look it, what's going on? Blah blah blah. It's like, Bro,
Speaker 1: the plane been diving. The plane has been diving for
Speaker 1: a while, and they finally hit the ground. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? You never you know, it's not enough
Speaker 1: of the fans telling people, hey, pulled the plane up.
Speaker 1: Hey stop. I'm about to say that probably gonna seem
Speaker 1: pretty controversy or though, man, but I sell them look
Speaker 1: at the comments. But when I do, you don't have
Speaker 1: the most intellectual base of people that just sit online
Speaker 1: and consume some of this stuff that controversial. No, but
Speaker 1: but but let me finish though, Bro, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that just every person that looks online as an idiot.
Speaker 1: But if you've got somebody that's spending their whole day
Speaker 1: on this ship following somebody's exploits, man, and they ain't
Speaker 1: got no job or no other ship to do. They
Speaker 1: just sitting there watching this ship something's wrong with that, bro.
Speaker 1: But but think about it, like they can go to
Speaker 1: work for eight hours a day. It could be a
Speaker 1: motherfucker that work at Walmen, right, and that's the thing.
Speaker 1: But they're part of Draco's movement, right, the stinct team
Speaker 1: in their mind. They and they. It was crazy, is
Speaker 1: these fans are getting these tattools, they hashtagging in their bio,
Speaker 1: they're putting their profile names, like it's like those clowns
Speaker 1: we talked about the other day, which clowns. Then I'm
Speaker 1: not calling them like a bunch of clowns like the closessional. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, everybody's cultivating a following, right, So it's people.
Speaker 1: It's people who don't even know these guys and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we're like their their hashtag sting team in
Speaker 1: their bio, like and they're like in the metaverse virtually,
Speaker 1: they're part of the movement. They're supporting it. They got
Speaker 1: the shirts, they got the beanies, they go to the concerts,
Speaker 1: and they're part of this movement. So they really feel
Speaker 1: like they have a main stay in the conversation. So
Speaker 1: I'm reading people in the comments like y'all he left him.
Speaker 1: They left him and I'm like, no, dog like, they
Speaker 1: just were outdone. Nobody they listened. They could have turned
Speaker 1: around and ran. They were trying to, but they were
Speaker 1: outduged and they were outnumbered. And you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: this how I go down? This This is normal for me.
Speaker 1: This ain't like crazy. This is a normal episode that
Speaker 1: happens like that. Well I had speaking speaking of fights,
Speaker 1: it was a couple of fights up there rolling loud.
Speaker 1: Yeah I heard, but I actually got to see the
Speaker 1: video footage of that one fight. Yeah, but that ship
Speaker 1: you can't see no faces. Yeah, but somebody whoever was
Speaker 1: there was getting the ship kicked out of them. Well
Speaker 1: feel they asked and put on them. I don't know
Speaker 1: who it was because I couldn't see none that. I
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you who it was. They just put some
Speaker 1: But that's the thing with the internet. They could put
Speaker 1: some ship out at some random people fighting and say
Speaker 1: it was anybody. I mean, I have no issues, what have?
Speaker 1: What have? What a good fist to cover? And to me,
Speaker 1: like people was asking me my opinion on it, right,
Speaker 1: certain homies from O the town was calling me is
Speaker 1: asking my opinion, and this is my opinion on a
Speaker 1: lot of the dudes coming up that I was watching, right,
Speaker 1: So one is they don't really have an O G
Speaker 1: around them to give them wisdoms. I mean, they don't
Speaker 1: have a ton of like I kept my O G
Speaker 1: homies on speed down or around me. So even if
Speaker 1: I wasn't around pluck a Moon at the time, I
Speaker 1: had Kiki local around me. I had wisdom around me
Speaker 1: to counter my young ignorance. I'm saying, my young wild ways. Um,
Speaker 1: they don't have that, right. That's one too. A lot
Speaker 1: of the dudes coming up saying that they streak one
Speaker 1: thing about gangs in l A. You know the culture
Speaker 1: in l A. And this is everywhere. Honestly, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna even just say gangs in l A, but I'm
Speaker 1: familiar with this. Here is it's all of these. It's
Speaker 1: it's like a land and a map of nation. They're
Speaker 1: all different nations, they all have different beliefs, creates. Some
Speaker 1: things are uniform, but most things are individualized depending on
Speaker 1: which nation you at. Like right, you in my hood,
Speaker 1: you in my nation? Right a hundred of seventeen street
Speaker 1: washed crypt It's a different creed than when you cross
Speaker 1: Imperial and you and p J. Watts. It's a completely
Speaker 1: different thing. Sure, in theory, were of both crips, and
Speaker 1: that's what the fans get. They understand they're both crips.
Speaker 1: But what they don't understand is that is no bond.
Speaker 1: That bond has been broken, you know, since you know,
Speaker 1: the sixties and the eight trade started clashing, or the
Speaker 1: East Coast is and the Hoovers started clashing. So you
Speaker 1: start talking about something that's been broken for roughly, you
Speaker 1: know what, forty years. So the fans kind of start
Speaker 1: to voice their opinion and ignorance, and I get it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's part of being a
Speaker 1: part of this metaverse, you know what I'm saying, being
Speaker 1: a part of social media where and that's why the
Speaker 1: internet is so dangerous though, too, bro, that's will make
Speaker 1: it great and dangerous. Well, you know because like you
Speaker 1: know what I seriously thought when you put two pack
Speaker 1: mus die out up. I wasn't worried about nobody from
Speaker 1: the industry. I was worried about one of these fans
Speaker 1: because this motherfucker's to take that ship so serious. You
Speaker 1: know who said the same thing that iced tea. That's
Speaker 1: what I was worried about. I was worried about. I
Speaker 1: wasn't worried about no, because rappers have since. Ain't nobody
Speaker 1: go go to jail behind those fun a song? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Let's keep it real, get the
Speaker 1: funk out of here. Ain't nobody going to jail. But
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying. For the most part, Dog,
Speaker 1: It's like you may get into a fight with somebody,
Speaker 1: but I don't think nobody could come and just lose
Speaker 1: all they got going in their life because you seeing
Speaker 1: something upset, They're gonna lose their life. They ain't gonna
Speaker 1: take minds. So but I get what you're saying. So,
Speaker 1: but listen, it was weird with the fans. And and
Speaker 1: this is what I realized when I was making that
Speaker 1: song right. And I realized that, and you know me
Speaker 1: still like we have a ton of marketing conversations about records.
Speaker 1: We're about to put out a record next year that's
Speaker 1: gonna push your heart rate up, you know, time to
Speaker 1: put you don't already prepare me for. I already know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, right, But what I realized was
Speaker 1: coming into making that song right and from a marketing perspective,
Speaker 1: was like when I grew up. POC was ours. He
Speaker 1: belonged to us, the culture, Like, I'm a real pop fan.
Speaker 1: All these people ain't. Really, I'm a real pop fan.
Speaker 1: Like I had his first CD, his last CD. I
Speaker 1: literally grew up listening to his music. His music raised
Speaker 1: me to be the man that I am by conscious
Speaker 1: as part of things even still in me. There's so
Speaker 1: many different concepts. But what I realized was and it
Speaker 1: was important pop had became such a mainstream figure. That's
Speaker 1: the catch. Hip hop is all about the upside down.
Speaker 1: If you saw um Stranger Things. Stranger Things is about
Speaker 1: these kids in the eighties and a scientist or the
Speaker 1: government accidentally open up or they were trying to open
Speaker 1: up another dimension that was parallel to the one that
Speaker 1: we was there. Yeah, my wife was really into that show.
Speaker 1: That's my ship, right, So hip hop is the upside down.
Speaker 1: Hip hop the upside down is Compton is Watts regular.
Speaker 1: You know, it's more, it's more Lakewoods, right, the city
Speaker 1: of Lakewoods. Then there is competence across America. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I was actually gonna bring up a point of like
Speaker 1: you talked about kind of the streaming sector of the
Speaker 1: industry now and how it's expanded the volume of content creators.
Speaker 1: So there's now it's basically a preamble so to speak
Speaker 1: to what crypto bitcoin is trying to do. With the
Speaker 1: quote unquote democratization of the tech sector. You see that
Speaker 1: happen in music where you can where you don't have
Speaker 1: to be the top one percent of performers or at
Speaker 1: least the most one percent marketle performers to get onto
Speaker 1: one of four or five labels that's going to give
Speaker 1: you all the money you can exists in the space
Speaker 1: in between. But also when you see the same time frame,
Speaker 1: is that like the geography of at least a lot
Speaker 1: of the communities like Black America that would define the
Speaker 1: culture of hip hop has changed. Also like it's not
Speaker 1: so concentrated in inner cities, like that's been democratized. Until
Speaker 1: you see a at the end of the Empire semi suburb,
Speaker 1: studo suburbs to Bay l A, Phoenix, Miami. And that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, though, that's not hip hop. It's becoming
Speaker 1: rap is going mainstream. There's a lot of us and
Speaker 1: pleasant it's nothing wrong with rap going mainstream. There's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with rap going mainstream. And you know, I see
Speaker 1: a lot of really successful mainstream rappers. Hip hop is
Speaker 1: still very much what it is. It's very much a
Speaker 1: preview into a parallel universe that is not seen all
Speaker 1: over mainstream, even if it's a popular opinion of very
Speaker 1: few from these same streets. So I think the fans again, right,
Speaker 1: they become part of these communities in theory, right, Like
Speaker 1: if you talk to like if you ask most fans
Speaker 1: of Chicago, you know hip hop or the drill scene, right,
Speaker 1: what's the uh the little apartment complex that they always
Speaker 1: talk about they have, like this super popular apartment complex
Speaker 1: that Dirt in Him is from, and Van is from
Speaker 1: from Chicago Midway. I don't know what part of I've
Speaker 1: never been there, you know, I'm saying, I've never been there.
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of it until that came out.
Speaker 1: Oh Block, Ok. Again, you gotta realize the people who
Speaker 1: are real fans of Little Dirt, who are fans of
Speaker 1: the whole movement that is that drill scene, like they
Speaker 1: feel like they are residents of Old Block. Like I
Speaker 1: remember when Uh the Rainbow Rat was kind of making
Speaker 1: his rounds with the police, acting like he was actually
Speaker 1: existing in spaces where we was at even though he's not.
Speaker 1: The Rainbow Rat went to this place, and people kept
Speaker 1: telling them like, oh, you're gonna get killed. Like most
Speaker 1: of these fans had never been to where they were
Speaker 1: talking about, but they only know the stories or the
Speaker 1: pieces of content right that their favorite rappers putting up
Speaker 1: of Old Block, and they really felt like if he
Speaker 1: went there, if the Rainbow Rat went there, he would
Speaker 1: get exterminated. And it's not tree like, it's way more
Speaker 1: nuances to that. Like you've been going to jungles and
Speaker 1: people may not see you. You can go to the
Speaker 1: PJS and people these places are huge, especially to poor people.
Speaker 1: Right when you're from poverty, you you kind of exist
Speaker 1: in a smaller space. So the fans was I remember
Speaker 1: the fans like, oh, you know, if somebody try to
Speaker 1: go to Old Block, they're gonna get killed. I remember
Speaker 1: when Von you know, rest his soul, when he got killed,
Speaker 1: and the fans like, oh, this person is not going
Speaker 1: to live. They're gonna kill him in two days. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, they don't. The fans don't really understand how
Speaker 1: this thing worked that we call crime or gangster rap
Speaker 1: or even gangster ship period. We know what it deals.
Speaker 1: Bro I'm gonna tell you imagine nation of It. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, bro, everybody's um the imagery and music
Speaker 1: just got real crazy y at some point though, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like the imagery now you
Speaker 1: can almost shoot I remember when I was in the game,
Speaker 1: like when I was doing there as an art on
Speaker 1: an artist level, you know, to shoot a video on
Speaker 1: the lower you were spending forty fifty dollars. That was
Speaker 1: a low budget video. My first music video budget was
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand, and we thought that was it was cheap.
Speaker 1: We was just like, oh man, it's gonna be the
Speaker 1: Whackers video whever. Now you do some ship with twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand. You shoot tim movies, you know, like motherfucking
Speaker 1: Biggie uh hypnotized. You know. But but with that being said,
Speaker 1: you know, and you were right when you said you
Speaker 1: have more lakewoods. Right. You got a lot of suburban
Speaker 1: kids across the country. They get caught up in the
Speaker 1: imagery is exciting to them. They got their little boring
Speaker 1: life is snow on outside, their dad is drunk all
Speaker 1: the time, and their mom is depressed. So they're sitting
Speaker 1: there watching these videos and they become a namber with
Speaker 1: them and it becomes a part of their psyche almost
Speaker 1: of the where they feel like I'm from old block,
Speaker 1: I represent you know what I mean, I'm down with them,
Speaker 1: which is h what's the what's the slim Jesus? Yeah.
Speaker 1: But but but this is what's funny to me. And
Speaker 1: this is why I get mad at a lot of
Speaker 1: people from our culture that talks for us in those
Speaker 1: spaces and they try to condemn the music. Okay, obviously
Speaker 1: we know suburban America is the is the major. You know,
Speaker 1: they consume more of this content that we call gangster
Speaker 1: wrapped than anybody else, right, because I hear them them
Speaker 1: all the time telling me, oh, well, you know this
Speaker 1: music is you know, you you're glamorizing violence and you're
Speaker 1: spreading it. It's becoming popular and everybody's doing it. Well,
Speaker 1: it ain't no motherfucker's ship happening in Lakewood. They ain't
Speaker 1: formed a whole bunch of games in Lakewood. The white
Speaker 1: boys and you know, and the suburban areas started their
Speaker 1: suburban crips and they out here putting in work. It's
Speaker 1: not influencing them. Again, I think a lot of times,
Speaker 1: like I said, there's so many hypocritical takes and silly
Speaker 1: shiit a don't make sense. So again, the fans could listen.
Speaker 1: The fans could be in the comments talking about they're
Speaker 1: smoking on this Nika pack or this pack or this
Speaker 1: except they're not really ever gonna smoke on any packs. Literally,
Speaker 1: this is their escape. They get to be a part
Speaker 1: of the culture right that that would be hard to
Speaker 1: be a part of. Can we play the new slotle Jesus?
Speaker 1: I love Slim Jesus, so you could definitely play yes,
Speaker 1: I said I love Slim Jesus. Yea, what you have
Speaker 1: to do like that? And you can see my face
Speaker 1: through the glass of the charograph of the lower left
Speaker 1: the back end, and you'll still broke watching how the
Speaker 1: sex ban Sam just maintin off a crack band. You
Speaker 1: get the picture home, can't get the rest in another
Speaker 1: risks look important. I wouldn't get content that we should
Speaker 1: for it. You should have got it for you. I'm thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: they getting the court. All my old bitches lost know
Speaker 1: what time it is. You can't even hear my life
Speaker 1: if i'd sliding in. So he tried to say you
Speaker 1: love me, ain't because I'm love now baby and I
Speaker 1: ain't my ship. The straight burning out got the drink
Speaker 1: in the four and went on me. It's house o
Speaker 1: bo with the out the heads turned around, triple less
Speaker 1: is all legal? Puddle on the ground. Yeah, I'm dripping
Speaker 1: in this bitch. Somebody grab a mop pull folk in
Speaker 1: a finger watching ship trop try to tell me to quit.
Speaker 1: Let my bitch in my pop and up losing these
Speaker 1: the mirrors. I can bought a shop. Okay, man, you
Speaker 1: know what's cold? This little motherfucker crip. Oh he could wrap.
Speaker 1: He is familiar with the m the art of m
Speaker 1: saying to some degree. I like Slim Jesus when I
Speaker 1: first saw him, and what I liked about him is
Speaker 1: when he came out and did his interviews, he explained, like, yo,
Speaker 1: I am not any of these things. I just like
Speaker 1: the music and I'm rapping like it. But you know
Speaker 1: what's so cold, He's honest, and these other motherfucker's need
Speaker 1: to get honest. Let him know. There ain't no different
Speaker 1: Slim Jesus. Slim Jesus is more real than a lot
Speaker 1: of these rappers because these niggas not doing it. They
Speaker 1: talk about he's not real, but he's just he's more honest.
Speaker 1: He's way more they come from this. He is authentic.
Speaker 1: He never front he said, he just you know, I
Speaker 1: laugh every time I hear I chuckled, just like I
Speaker 1: laughed for this motherfucker. When I hear these niggas out
Speaker 1: here tell about what they do, and I'm like, man, nigga, please, No,
Speaker 1: he's not authentic and he's not real, but he's honest
Speaker 1: and he's let you know that this is Hollywood. Well, honestly,
Speaker 1: it was authentic. No, no, it's not auth at all.
Speaker 1: It's all a matter of fact. We need Slim Jesus
Speaker 1: if you out there, we need you on this show
Speaker 1: that we're putting Slim Jesus on the gamest Rap Chronicles.
Speaker 1: Though he represents like Slim Jesus. Man, I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of Slim Jesus. He's awesome. He makes some cooler songs,
Speaker 1: and I like the fact that he's honest out he's
Speaker 1: not a thumb. Let me ask you, are you really
Speaker 1: from where you from? How many? What percentage of these
Speaker 1: rappers out here do you think aren't from where they
Speaker 1: say they're from. Okay, so that's a nuanced conversation, right,
Speaker 1: So when I say where I'm from it's because I'm
Speaker 1: really from there, culturally rooted there. When I say I'm
Speaker 1: from seven Street Watch Cript hundred and seventeen Street Watch Cript,
Speaker 1: I am culturally rooted there. My family know my older homies,
Speaker 1: whether they agree or not, they know each other. My
Speaker 1: older homies know my father, they know my mother, they
Speaker 1: know my step mom, they know my older brothers, they
Speaker 1: know my sister, they know me. So when I say
Speaker 1: I'm from there, it's not like some niggas, you know,
Speaker 1: eight niggas jumped on me and kicked me in his
Speaker 1: face and ship. Now I'm like I'm one of the ms. No. Literally,
Speaker 1: me and my hommies are friends. We grew up at
Speaker 1: as friends. So like when I say I'm from there,
Speaker 1: because that's what it really means. I'm from this, not
Speaker 1: again I got courted on. Something is beating me up
Speaker 1: like that happens, you just fight. But I am from
Speaker 1: where I'm from. So when you're saying how many people
Speaker 1: are from where they from, it gets tricky because no,
Speaker 1: it ain't no mother's studio gangsters. Well again, studio again.
Speaker 1: That's my point, Like, let me say this, let me
Speaker 1: let me say this so I can help the fans
Speaker 1: get this because the fans don't understand this. So you
Speaker 1: ask somebody like Glasses, Right, I'm a real gang member
Speaker 1: from where I'm from, and I'm culturally from where I'm from.
Speaker 1: Another rapper could culturally be from where they from but
Speaker 1: never been a gang member, right. They could be from
Speaker 1: that area and they grew up not gangbanging, right, But
Speaker 1: you know, as success came, they could say, now I'm
Speaker 1: a gangbanger even though they never went through any of
Speaker 1: the situations for being a representative of said community. Then
Speaker 1: you've got other people who didn't grow up in those communities, right,
Speaker 1: but may have got initiated and they from those gangs.
Speaker 1: So it's just tricky, like it's it really matters. But
Speaker 1: what you can tell is and where you can really tell.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of issues. Like I said,
Speaker 1: that first point I was making was they don't have
Speaker 1: around them. Part two is they don't understand diplomacy. See,
Speaker 1: it's it's all of a side. It's a bunch of
Speaker 1: people talking tough, looking tough, but it's gonna cost you
Speaker 1: your life when you understand diplomacy. It's the way you
Speaker 1: deal with things when you're dealing with other nations. I
Speaker 1: know how to deal with other nations. I know how
Speaker 1: to deal with niggas from hoods around me, niggas from
Speaker 1: hoods as far west as the sixties, as far east
Speaker 1: as the four hundred block Riverside crips, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean East Coast riverside niggas. I know how to deal
Speaker 1: with niggas from you know u g crips weigh in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: I am refined in the art of diplomacy. Like if
Speaker 1: I have an issue with a nigga, I would know
Speaker 1: how to go about it and make sure I got
Speaker 1: my faith with that nigga. And and my name is
Speaker 1: gonna carry that type of respect to where that's a possibility.
Speaker 1: But I also understand it's certain niggas you may can't
Speaker 1: get ahead of fade with. It's certain gangs right that
Speaker 1: may not give you that. But that's again like I
Speaker 1: started rapping late, Like I was a gang banger, just
Speaker 1: for years. A gang bang in high school, you know,
Speaker 1: going to school, which is different as you at school
Speaker 1: a couple of fights or maybe you shoot a little bit,
Speaker 1: but when you gang bang for a living, I used
Speaker 1: to gang bang for a living. I graduated high school
Speaker 1: at seventeen. Every day for a living, I was a
Speaker 1: seven street watch crypt nick, a sean selling gun total
Speaker 1: hands throwing every street washing. So people knew me from
Speaker 1: the low riding street racing. This why I'm from. So
Speaker 1: my diplomacy is a lot more unique than the average rappers.
Speaker 1: There's a rappers who got in the game. They was
Speaker 1: eighteen and been successful since a teen. So they're trying
Speaker 1: to gang bang now in the midst of success. Feel
Speaker 1: me trying to build a reputation. But you see, you
Speaker 1: gotta understand something, and uh, this is in no way
Speaker 1: of this. I'm actually a fan of Tiger. Tiger is
Speaker 1: a cool dude. But like I remember, at one time
Speaker 1: Tiger was claiming um a blood thing. He was claiming
Speaker 1: campanella and then he got beat up by then my guests.
Speaker 1: Then he went over there and start claiming um mover
Speaker 1: so again right, so but why do you do that
Speaker 1: that though? Bro? That's like where do you like just
Speaker 1: transformed like that again? Right? It's just weird because Okay,
Speaker 1: that story has more nuances, right, So it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a level of truth to it, right, But then it's
Speaker 1: more right and it ain't just the rappers faults, so
Speaker 1: I wanted to get on record even I'm glad you
Speaker 1: said that, because it's not the rappers fault necessary. The
Speaker 1: rappers do have a steak and responsibility for some of
Speaker 1: his cornball that ship, But it's also the communities fount
Speaker 1: niggas are embracing niggas. Niggas see niggas, see some of
Speaker 1: these artists as ways to change their future, you know,
Speaker 1: the economic status, to make money, to make a living.
Speaker 1: That's what all this ship is about. So if you
Speaker 1: can so like, let's say a tiger, right, so I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened with him and per se. Let's
Speaker 1: say the camper Nellis and say, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: I remember that time you're talking about he you know,
Speaker 1: that was his line. He's pushing Parru and then as
Speaker 1: he decided, he was embraced by Trail and all the
Speaker 1: five Deuces. It started to rock with them, but they
Speaker 1: embraced him. They said, you know, I don't know the
Speaker 1: nuance of the conversation, but I would imagine because the
Speaker 1: niggasy was around, I know, some of them niggas on
Speaker 1: the street level. So they had to embrace him because
Speaker 1: he couldn't go to them and say, hey, can I
Speaker 1: be damned. They're not the kind of niggas you go
Speaker 1: to and say hey can I be damn? Let me
Speaker 1: get this side note. I'm not trying to validate on
Speaker 1: where that dude it's from. No ship like that tiger
Speaker 1: handle you all six ft five thing about to do.
Speaker 1: I ain't worried about tiger, Tiger a little home better
Speaker 1: just take this um not your ass up question the
Speaker 1: laws of physicist all against ain't any Tiger's favor, bro Gee,
Speaker 1: shout out the tyger. He was on cash money right
Speaker 1: with all them or young money and you know all
Speaker 1: those guys and you know all the Compton guys. What
Speaker 1: is there was some sort of like marketing co op.
Speaker 1: I swear to guy between anything Pyro and anything young
Speaker 1: money for like several years. Like what walls up with it? Man?
Speaker 1: Because because I mean, anybody did a record near them,
Speaker 1: was was a priate. So so again it's one of
Speaker 1: those things where in that situation is unique right because
Speaker 1: it was a mutually respectable thing. Right where quick question,
Speaker 1: what do you think that something as big and visible
Speaker 1: and like you know, they had enough force behind it
Speaker 1: to really move mountains within the culture for a period
Speaker 1: of time where you see a bunch of guys that
Speaker 1: they're all from out of town and none of those
Speaker 1: guys gang bang. They wrapped this gang whatever for whatever
Speaker 1: the reason they from there. Well, I like the music.
Speaker 1: I from there either, I'm repped two Like is there
Speaker 1: some sort of a triple down in that? What? That?
Speaker 1: But that's what we're talking about. The fans, right, the
Speaker 1: fans are doing that. Even some of the rappers are fans.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. The rappers are fans of the culture,
Speaker 1: and the culture are fans of the rappers. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a belief that these gangs are exploiting, you know, celebrity finally,
Speaker 1: celebrity sploring games exactly, and and that's a big thing.
Speaker 1: Where again, you're still dealing with poor people who are
Speaker 1: trying to pursue some level of livable wage or economic opportunity.
Speaker 1: It would be like Joe Pesci fake joining the Gambinos
Speaker 1: to better market his acting career in the nineties, exactly
Speaker 1: like imagine if imagine if joining the family, Joe Pesci
Speaker 1: joined the Gambino family and they announced it. He became
Speaker 1: like a part of their brand. It sounds stupid to say,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. It doesn't, it doesn't, but it does,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, It does sound stupid
Speaker 1: because those are financially successful organizations. Yeah, to kind of
Speaker 1: go out of their way to be invisible a little
Speaker 1: bit more. No, they're financially successful. Yeah, fu the invisibility
Speaker 1: that you can be invisible long as you've got paper.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Again, you gotta understand, right,
Speaker 1: popularity equates to wealth, because that's all you've been taught
Speaker 1: your whole life. The more of my reputation is out there,
Speaker 1: the more people know about my name, it brings value
Speaker 1: to my existence. So that's why they're fighting from this
Speaker 1: level of like basic kind of primitive operations. So the
Speaker 1: mob is not a poor organization. Gangs are a poor organization.
Speaker 1: It may be one or two homies against some money
Speaker 1: or you from where I'm from, where it's orchestrated for
Speaker 1: y'all all to get some money. Maybe you ain't as
Speaker 1: suple to top the top man, but you're gonna make
Speaker 1: more than a quality living then from where we're from.
Speaker 1: But again, if let's say, if I'm for five dudce Hoover.
Speaker 1: This is one of the this cute new neighborhood, right,
Speaker 1: it's trailed in the the neighborhood. It's one of the poorest
Speaker 1: parts of the West Side p It's a poor community, right,
Speaker 1: very few opportunities, no careers around there, nothing barely a
Speaker 1: grocery store. You feel me. It is a different world,
Speaker 1: you know, it could be like Africa, third World like
Speaker 1: Wat's what I'm saying that it's different. And you meet
Speaker 1: a celebrity who was a millionaire, right, and you're watching him.
Speaker 1: He's a very talented artist. Let's say Tiger. He's a
Speaker 1: very talented artist. I mean, Tiger is extremely talented that
Speaker 1: he don't really get credit for, but he's extremely talented.
Speaker 1: He's a cold, ice cold motherfucking with writing records. So
Speaker 1: you know him, and yeah, he sees you. He sees
Speaker 1: that you are respected. Remember, hip hop is very much
Speaker 1: a street R form, only a street R form. It's
Speaker 1: a street R form before is everything else it's from
Speaker 1: and for the streets, it's a representation to that. So
Speaker 1: it's important if you're making hip hop to have some
Speaker 1: level of credit when it comes to the streets because
Speaker 1: that's part of the market and so these guys say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: we love what you're doing, and you see they ship.
Speaker 1: You know that some of the most they organization is
Speaker 1: one of the most respected and well known things in
Speaker 1: the in the world. Hoover Is is everybody's whovers in
Speaker 1: every state down there, and they want to embrace your movement.
Speaker 1: It lends you. It lends you a level of respect,
Speaker 1: right because you could befriends somebody and lends you credit
Speaker 1: and credence, right And then for you, it creates opportunities
Speaker 1: to have certain homies as bodyguards. It creates somebody who
Speaker 1: could you know, you could become learning the business and management.
Speaker 1: My issue, I actually respect the mutual nous of that.
Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy and people are getting mad,
Speaker 1: but I know the fans gonna be mad, But I
Speaker 1: respect that because I know how hard it is to
Speaker 1: comfort where we come from and make a way out
Speaker 1: and make an opportunity to the body and kids Christmas
Speaker 1: gifts to feed your kids and ship to not at
Speaker 1: smoke shrum all day because you're losing your mind without
Speaker 1: the opportunity to earn. What I don't respect is the
Speaker 1: one sided things where you have people taking advantage of
Speaker 1: a community and they have no intentions on doing right
Speaker 1: by the people. Or it's another thing where I think
Speaker 1: a lot of times, and this is where to all
Speaker 1: my homies that's from the street, because I know y'all
Speaker 1: Nick is listening to my podcast. If you got a
Speaker 1: wrapper that you claiming and he's not actually making opportunities
Speaker 1: for some of your homies, I need to make it
Speaker 1: hard for that nigga. This ship that we have when
Speaker 1: it comes to this street ship, the credit that being
Speaker 1: one of us gives a hip hop artist's invaluable. It
Speaker 1: turned the Rainbow Rat from some pariah making alternative music
Speaker 1: and not really being successful into a global star. A
Speaker 1: global star. You will never hear a story about a
Speaker 1: rapper coming too a community and then creating a hundred
Speaker 1: jobs to change their fortune. But you're here a community, right,
Speaker 1: You'll hear the story about the community coming to a
Speaker 1: rapper right and then lending their career. You know, um
Speaker 1: respect people looking at them in a respect. Oh he
Speaker 1: from over there. He one of those guys, and it
Speaker 1: changes the fortunes of their career, like somebody like Whacker Flocker.
Speaker 1: Like Whacker Flocker career is successful because of the jungles now,
Speaker 1: I'm sure Flock could get mad at me sat this,
Speaker 1: but Waker Flock is not Wacker Flocker without shooting hard
Speaker 1: and the paint in the Jungles they made that nigga
Speaker 1: a fucking global star. That's the power of the ship
Speaker 1: that we survive. That's a lot of power. The Jungles
Speaker 1: made Waka flocka a global fucking star. The reason people
Speaker 1: believe he went hard in the paint is because he
Speaker 1: was with one of the most famously dangerous places to
Speaker 1: be and he was talking to t rogers. So again,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things, man, where I'll say this,
Speaker 1: our communities don't understand the value and that's what we
Speaker 1: always talk about, Pete, the difference with the mafia and
Speaker 1: the difference with street gangs. But it's also still you
Speaker 1: operating off a level of poverty that's different. I mean
Speaker 1: poverty and oppression. So yeah, the monsters, a couple of
Speaker 1: Italian and Irish miles felt impressed, but it will never
Speaker 1: be the equivalent of being one of us. They wasn't.
Speaker 1: You know. Again, it's a different level. But I agree
Speaker 1: with a lot of the homies from the communities don't
Speaker 1: truly understand the value and being one of us. It
Speaker 1: is invaluable. Being me has got me so much ship.
Speaker 1: Being the authentic version that I am has got me.
Speaker 1: It got me paid in the music business crazy before
Speaker 1: I even understood records. Well, you know, based on what
Speaker 1: you're saying, Jim Gee, Slim Jesus just as authentic as
Speaker 1: anybody else. No, Slim Jesus is not authentic at all.
Speaker 1: Slim Jesus, it's like calling an actor authentic. But he
Speaker 1: is authentic. He's true to who he is. That's authenticity,
Speaker 1: eels but here. But there's a break between. His authenticity
Speaker 1: exists off of his records. But that's the difference. His
Speaker 1: authenticity doesn't exist on his records. That's that's my point.
Speaker 1: I say, I'm trying to bridge the gap between to
Speaker 1: you guys. So that's what I'm saying. He's not authentic.
Speaker 1: He's honest, he's authentic. His music is not authentic. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if he's authentic cause we never get
Speaker 1: to do you consider him against the rapper because he
Speaker 1: talked that ship. He really learned to lingo. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you're I see your trying again. You can listen to
Speaker 1: rap ragors, But again, this is deeper than just about Slam.
Speaker 1: He he's the boot product governed him and is to
Speaker 1: talk to cause six nine is the body product of
Speaker 1: all the bullshit. That's different because Slim Jesus is not
Speaker 1: from the community. The Rainbow Rat is from the community.
Speaker 1: He's not some kid that wandered off from the nicest
Speaker 1: parts of Crown Heights and fucking New York and slipped
Speaker 1: into the ghetto. He's a fucking ghetto, fucking piece of ship.
Speaker 1: You know the rules in the ghetto, he walked around
Speaker 1: the corner to them. So again is different. Slim Jesus
Speaker 1: is really a white kid that's not from this level
Speaker 1: of poverty. He he's different. He's a fan of the
Speaker 1: music and the and the music made him create more music.
Speaker 1: The Rainbow Rat literally is from poverty. Didn't really use
Speaker 1: the power of the game like like Slam is not
Speaker 1: orchestra rating hits. The Rainbow Rat orchestrated hits. He you
Speaker 1: know what Slim Jesus might be in some little time
Speaker 1: like Ravenna you know, you know how you want to
Speaker 1: visit my pops up there. Slim Jesus the time he
Speaker 1: from his like Ravanna and small like that. He probably
Speaker 1: running it out there though. He probably get the nigga
Speaker 1: tex stuff if he wants. I remember his streets. He
Speaker 1: remember him rapping about the streets in this first song
Speaker 1: you saw you had his homie, him and the bother
Speaker 1: coint it's like the homie, y'all hear it? They got
Speaker 1: the other song a little what the something? You always
Speaker 1: find him a little crazy, Yes, records, the Downey song,
Speaker 1: d down record, Welcome to the Day. He kind of
Speaker 1: running a little apartment complex over there. Dog you find all.
Speaker 1: He's a weird ass people. I find records. But no again,
Speaker 1: back to the plaint Let's go back to that dog
Speaker 1: because you did. What's the other nigga that you discovered? Man?
Speaker 1: Just like, why are you looking at this? Return? And
Speaker 1: he actually wound up blowing up. I put you on
Speaker 1: soldier boy first, Yeah, soldier boy, I put you all
Speaker 1: slim jeeze is what's the white Boyam mot was go
Speaker 1: book him one time. He called the nigga's that we
Speaker 1: put you up on? The boy from Texas. Yeah, Jesus,
Speaker 1: the nigga the free stuff he got that, the marine green,
Speaker 1: the green Marine green machine. You know who we're talking about. Pete.
Speaker 1: He talking about He called himself the Pink Panther. Uh
Speaker 1: he always rhyming and ship uh oh, he was on MTV.
Speaker 1: Don't he wear the braids to the back because white boy?
Speaker 1: Oh man, he's so dupe. I'm right now. Anyway. What's
Speaker 1: crazy is when we first was watching his little videos
Speaker 1: early on, we just liked that he had this confidence.
Speaker 1: His confidence was through the roof. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of white braids to the back of Texas. I noticed
Speaker 1: when I was down there. I was like, and what
Speaker 1: blew me away is did I ever tell you a
Speaker 1: boy the time I walked and Chew cho shop and
Speaker 1: seeing him, Uh yeah, man, what's that white boy name?
Speaker 1: He had MTV tattooed on it. N it's Riffraff, riff Raff,
Speaker 1: hold on raf reff Raft, nigga? Did I ever tell
Speaker 1: you by the time because I walked into the barber
Speaker 1: shop and see riff Raff at Chew Choose in the Swans,
Speaker 1: you told me about that motherfucking riff Raft cause shout
Speaker 1: out to the honey riff Raft this nigga it was
Speaker 1: Freestyle getting his hair braided and asked up after that day,
Speaker 1: couldn't nobody tell me nothing? About riff Raft. To this day,
Speaker 1: niggas can't tell me nothing about riff Raft. Hold On,
Speaker 1: let me show you something real quick. Hold on, he
Speaker 1: got it was freestyle ever hold on, we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna get you all this this riff raff ship. Hold on,

Speaker 1: RiPP rappers here. You said something to me earlier, man,
Speaker 1: when you used to do to the bus. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I wanted to do me a favor, but
Speaker 1: we thought beat on, man, can you do that for
Speaker 1: us now? Man? Tripping, I've never to be tripping, especially
Speaker 1: I never I normally wouldn't new books and swade. You

Speaker 1: You want to see me with pancakes and drawers. Take
Speaker 1: your fat ass to sleep. On jumping out of the
Speaker 1: candy code to Grim Reaper, g I'll put you to sleep.
