When you 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.840 think of people who come to LA to visit and 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:59.240 how Compton has become like a thing worldwide, you know 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.000 what I'm saying, feel like in LA like South Central content, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.400 but Compton is like it's like an iconic hood in 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:11.360 the entire world. Everybody gotta count you gotta just you 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.200 can go buy a content visit or you can buy 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.880 a Compton hat in Australia. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.800 is that something that do you consider that to be 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.400 a gift or a curse because you know people might 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.800 not understand what that means, what all comes with that. 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:27.960 It's it's a curse, you know what I mean, a 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.720 gift at the same time because comptent is so wild 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.440 you feel me in haters, you know what I mean. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.160 And the politics, the gang violence, shit like that. So 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.960 you can get caught up in that, you feel I'm saying, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.520 and you can go to jail. You can be dead, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.800 you see, and it got shot. There's a lot of 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.600 shit come with it. But the name is itself comped 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.920 in the city from Easy and Them and all that time. Man, 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.400 it's fucking straight out of content. I love it. I 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.840 gotta see it. So it's a good thing. It's a 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.320 bad thing. Bro Let me ask you something. When you 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.960 watch something like uh, like the like the NW a movie, right, 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.760 and that's like a movie that's like really based around 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:08.400 your area. And uh again, it's being consumed on a 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:14.120 very large scale. There's white kids in England watching straight 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.080 out of com like you feel good and like you 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.720 know what, Like, look, let's be honest. Compton's the most 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.560 famous area in LA outside of Hollywood. It's people come 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.920 to LA and if they're like, yo, I want to 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.960 go to Compton, you know what that means. Right? But 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.520 you have some people that come to Los Angeles and 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.080 this depending on who they are, they feel like they 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.720 just encomped because they I don't know, you be in Hollywood, 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:39.960 so I want to go to the hood. That's what 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.760 I wanted to get you right there. You know, everybody 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.240 comes to LA, they go to Hollywood, they come to 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.200 the Valley. That's all they do. They go to Lax, 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.160 to Hollywood, they do the little West Hollywood Ship, they 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.040 do Melrose, all that. They get back on the freeway, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:54.480 they get back on that four or five. They go 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.200 back to Lax to go home. The split something. I 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.640 ain't saying nothing, but it ain't seen nothing. So let's 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.600 talk about like what like Okay, obviously for anybody watching 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:09.080 this way from LA, the valley is not La. Hell No, 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.640 if you from San Fernando, if you're from it's in 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:17.440 Sino North Hollywood. God bless you. That's not La. Hollywood 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.960 is not LA. What is real LA? What you gotta 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.080 say like like south Central?

I feel like there's just this big 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.400 disconnect from people who come and visit and be like, yeah, 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.720 I was in LA, but like but were you were 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.440 you at like Tokyo Madera in West Hollywood, Like it's 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.120 not the same thing. I'd say. They just say that 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.320 shit this to be saying. The most LA you were 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.880 at was when you landed at La X, the suburb 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.120 part of it.
