Right, So 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.920 I saw the platform. Man, your platform sound better than 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.400 every motherfucker don president. You're not a states in the 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:05.320 last thirty years, man. You know what I'm saying. Um, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.360 I got that, I got that mandatory black agenda in 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.680 my mind. You know, Uh, I got reparations for slavery 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.920 and real police reform, you know what I'm saying. So like, uh, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:26.040 you know, like if a cop has any ties to like, 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.040 you know, white supremacy r you know what I'm saying. 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.840 I don't think anybodiased person should be a police officer, 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.400 not even not even hommies. You know what I'm saying. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.600 For sure, they might you know, they pull you know, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.800 they got a chip on their shoulder by something, and 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.840 then you know and ain't gonna be fair. So uh, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.760 I'm gonna I'm gonna put that in place. If I 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.519 ever see them with a Confederate flag or or they 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.280 tied to some kind of white supremacist group. They don't 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.800 serve and protect me and then serve and protect you know, 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:02.880 the full population of the mayor. So I don't want 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.880 him on the force. And then you know, if you're 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:11.000 a good cop and you ain't telling on a bad cop, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.519 for as uncle sergery just as bad as the bad cop, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.919 because you ain't saying nothing. So you clean the house 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.920 and everybody. Oh yeah, man, because you know, the police 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.600 have a lot of power, and they got access to 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:27.359 our children, they got access to our loved ones. Uh, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.200 you know, we need to know how to act. But 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.360 you know it ought to be something in place to 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.080 make them obey the law they represent. Yeah, for sure, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.960 for sure, for sure what made you decide up and 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.960 run for president? Because you know what, at first, maybe 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.080 fifteen years ago, out and said, man, it's gonna be hard. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.120 I don't know, man, But then Trump sucked around, and 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.600 when that motherfucker that changed the game. Yeah, because I 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.120 didn't think he was gonna win either. I don't think 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.080 nobody thought that motherfucker's gonna win. Man, I'm gonna tell 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.960 you something. Maybe motherfucker' was just tired of the same 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.880 old ship, you know, probably feeling like, you know, it's 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.640 just the motherfucker. You know, he wouldn't know politician the 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.480 niggas was about money and business and ship. So and 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.160 then you know he was with that white agenda. So 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.440 you know, a lot of people put him in office 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.600 because you know, they knew he was gonna push that 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.360 all white agenda. M yeah, man, it ain't the man, 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.480 it's the party, and it's the policies exactly. You know 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.560 what I'm I can put the policies up. I can 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.120 put a cartoon up there, like this cartoon is gonna 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.039 give you your gun rights. He's gonna build that wall 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.880 where everybody has to is with that carton daughter, you 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.600 know what, because that's that's you know, it's it's the policies. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.120 So uh, I'm gonna yell out all the policies I 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:50.520 feel right, and uh, you know, you know, you never 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.320 know how many people might agree with me. Man, It's 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.760 it's always gonna be people to agree with, you know 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.720 what I'm saying, especially for our side dealing from what 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.440 the it we've had to deal with as far as 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.800 being black in America so to speak. So but when 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.919 it comes to you know, pushing our agenda's like you said, 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.640 it's still motherfucking states who haven't don't want to legalize marijuana, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.560 which is the dumbest shipped off you know on the planet. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.720 Right now. Another thing, Uh, I think we need a 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.880 you know, you have the Democrat in the Republican Party. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.000 We need a black party, you know, Uh like remember 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.760 racings for slavery. Uh, you know, real police form. You know, 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:41.200 I'm thinking about, uh, the studying and discussing a person 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.080 not even being able to patrol a neighborhood less they 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.200 from that neighborhood like they they they're gonna be no 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:52.880 mistaken identities. You know. That's Mrs Parker's son, which employees 0:05:53.480 --> 0:06:00.679 more people you know, from the community doing police, working police. Yeah, 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.120 there's there's a black agenda. You know. Those are my 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.159 two I don't like, uh, asset forfeitsure for as uncle 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.200 ser that's just robbery, you know what I'm causing put 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.800 me on a few times just oh this is drug 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.080 money and just took my rap money, you know, what 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.800 I'm saying, uh and this, that and the other. No 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.839 more asset forfitsure. You know, everything that I feel is 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.200 wrong with the police system, everything that we've experienced that 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.960 we don't want our sons and in the younger generation 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.440 to experience that, everything that's wrong. You know, I get 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.560 in that position. I'm gonna try to fix it. It's 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.159 been a whole lot of ship. Yeah. So, but we 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.880 need a black political party. I think I've seen one. 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.680 It said, our Black Party. I don't know, just okay, 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.000 you know, but I gotta If it ain't one invented already, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.279 we need to invent one. We need to put one together, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.960 you know what I mean. You know, I probably won't 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.279 try to get too fancy with the title. You know, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.480 it ain't no, it ain't no playing or nothing. White 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.680 people can be in the Black Political Party. If you 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:06.479 got something to contribute to the benefit of black people 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.680 in America under the circumstances we haven't been under, then 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.040 you know, come on joining the party. You know, you 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.240 know certain things need to be done to make stuff right. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.600 Come on in and help contribute for sure. For sure. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:23.360 You know what I have been seeing lately, it's dead 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.960 hip hop is a very powerful medium, everybody you know, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.560 and I think it always goes back and forth. A 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.040 country for the number one music in the world, number 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.000 one genre in the world, because country and rap ain't 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.920 too far off. It's pretty much the same stuff. If 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.760 you listen to a country song they're talking about the 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.360 same thing is that they're talking about. They truck some 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:48.440 bitches and alcohol. You know, we wrap you know, money, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.400 we bitches. You know, it's the same ship, right, talk 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.160 about the same thing. So I think definitely, Man, because 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.640 you got the hell of a fan base, and that's 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.400 what we go go through. I don't know if you remember, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.800 but this actual facility, right it were partnered up with 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.320 a cat named big A. They said, a spotting Compton 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.400 called Underworld Records, right, And I remember way back, this 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.840 is when I was a young nick.

He said, 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.880 one time you're talking about cutting the froe off. And 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.559 then he told me you moved out of town. And 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.080 next thing, you know, like some years go by later, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.680 you got the biggest motherfucking record in the world. Let's 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.320 talk about that journey, Like what happened between you coming 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.079 from my HEAs, I don't know you really from the hood. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.439 You're really from the hood, you know what I'm saying. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.920 So what happened from that point man? Where he was 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.959 running around slinging the black and white tapes? It was 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.560 a black and white album because ready to you going 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.040 out of the Mississippi is somewhere and you're just blowing up. Man. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.720 I was, you know, after I dropped out of Ponder 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:14.360 in high school, I was on my own. Uh, I 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.120 had have you know, having me.

And 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.920 I got a girl. She's supposed to be going half 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.840 with me on the bill, you know, but right around 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.320 the twenty and we always get into that that that 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:54.560 that coincidental fight. Yeah, and then she goes running back 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.839 to her daddy house and then you know, I get 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.400 here with the bills. My dad called me up. My 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.880 dad had left California and he was he got some 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:08.880 property in Mississippi and he was like, he bought this 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.720 house way back before he brought us to South Central. 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.000 He bought a house down there. And he was like, Joseph, 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.800 he said, you're out there. He was like, the cost 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.840 of living in California is really high. He was like, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.280 you don't really know because you was born there and 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.280 you ain't been nowhere to compare. And he was just like, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.560 he was like, minimum ways in Mississippi is the same 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.240 amount of minimum ways of California cost that. He was like, 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.079 my mortgage on my house is a hundred and fifty 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:40.120 dollars a month, and he was like, your rent is 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.560 not hunter And he just talked to me until he 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.760 just talked to me in the coming down there. He 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.200 he was like, you're gonna have more money. Blah blah 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.439 blah if you just come to Mississippi, were part of 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:59.800 Mississippi Hattiesburg. Um, then I realized that l A is 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:04.640 a entertainment warehouse. L A entertains the world. You know, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.600 I was born here, you know, you know you see 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.840 people coming out of New York, and but I just 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:15.000 I didn't understand, like how much entertainment competition is here. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:16.960 Ye'll be out to try and sell my CD. I 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.199 pull out my CD to dude, I'm trying to slang 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.680 into pool out his you know what I'm saying here, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.079 I want to swap and here's don't be as dope 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.040 as behind. You know, I got this show into the 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.840 state no money in a white CD. So but when 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:36.920 I went out of town, Uh, there's more consumers than entertainers. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.800 People didn't want to entertain. They wanted to be entertained, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.800 so they and then they the cost of living was lower, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.960 so they had more play money. They had more money 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.360 to take chances with my CDs as opposed to a 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.679 l A cat you know, giving me some smooth line, 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.480 I'm cool, all we you know whatever, you know what 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:07.520 I'm saying. Um, it was just you know, the like 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.360 I said, it was l A entertain the world, so 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.360 demand was out outside the state of California. That's what 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.040 I didn't know. But when I got out there, you know, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.080 I was I was starting to get my tapes off 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.840 way better, saving money, saving money with the cost of living, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:28.920 more people, spending with the with my CDs and everything, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.160 you know. Yeah, but I came back to l A. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.679 I realized l A is where you come after you 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:41.800 make it. We were born here, so you know, we're 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.520 trying to make it out of here. But what you 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.000 need to do is get up out of l A, 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.600 take a lap around the country, and they come back 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.600 and pick your house. You know, I want to, you know, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.200 but yeah, this is where you come after. It's the 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.320 home of the stars. But you don't need to be 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.560 here to your a star or so, you know, because 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.280 this is hard to make it. So you still hand 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.120 in hand with it when you went out to Mississippi 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.280 initially or did you look up with a distributor? Uh? Both. 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.080 I was hand in hand, um, I was. I was 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.319 at the Trump I was I was doing everything one 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.480 man because I only knew how to do so much. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.600 I knew how to wrap, you know, to make the beats. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.240 I knew how to press up to tape, but I 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.079 didn't know how to get it in stores. I knew 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.319 how to do the consignment thing, but I didn't know 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.480 how to really get it, get it going on across 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.960 the countries and having in every store. So that was 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.120 the next level for me. That's the record deal, that's 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.960 what that was the next thing I needed, you know 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.800 what I'm saying. But I meant a dude down there 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:48.400 that had his own record label, and uh, you know, 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.520 he helped me get my CDs distributed in stores like 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.079 to the point where it may not be sitting on 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.040 the shelf, but if they pick up the phone, they 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.200 had access to it. And so so people went in 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.439 their holiday your affroma affrima hey man, Okay. Then next 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.720 to you know, boom, but you know word of mouth 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:15.000 and demand. Well it was on the show down there, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.080 and then you know, spreading getting bigger and bigger. I'm 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.920 getting bigg and bigger now because I got hot took off, man, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.240 because you have been grinding for a while. You know 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.840 what I'm saying. You've been in the ground. It wasn't 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.040 the overnight success stuff. You know, he was on your 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:33.360 grind when that record hit. Man, where did you hear 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.800 that first? Like, like, what was you hearing the commotion 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.000 about it? Yeah? Man, man, I'm gonna tell you. So 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.840 it was in Hattisbury, right, and like, uh I made it, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.840 you know what I'm saying. Uh, Chats would come by 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.840 my house and smoke weed, and then I played my 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.400 tapes for him while we were smoking, because usually I 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.880 can sell them a few CDs while we're smoking, so 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.680 you know, I'm doubling up. You know, they're getting a 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:10.320 little bug and so um, I was planning for cats. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.040 They was liking it. Then they come on and they 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.240 were like, yeah, let me get let me get this, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.440 let me get a T shirt, let me get three 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.320 of them CDs. They was, They was making runs for 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.320 other people, you know, throwing their little five ten dollars 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.600 on their taxing them. You know what I'm saying. Sometimes 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.960 the same dude will come back to my house still 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.480 wants to so I know he was getting up for 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:38.280 other people, and then uh, I couldn't find no where 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.480 to perform, you know what I'm saying. Like, and it 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.840 was just one of them, one of the old black 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.880 clubs down in the hood and Hadisburg. The black people 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.920 don't even go to you know what I'm saying, like 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:57.280 one of them old man clubs. And I talked to 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.040 him into letting me singing there. I was like, you know, 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.640 I was like, I just need I said, I gotta crowd. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.040 I just need somewhere for him to come. He's hard. 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.080 They can't come in here. You can get them back here, 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.480 all right. So I put my flies all over had 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:17.760 his bird. I went crazy. Oh and uh, I had 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.960 because I got hot. And it was in the back 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.800 these these bars was in the back of the get up. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:32.960 And man, I remember I was wrapping something and I 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.800 remember four white girls from US m blood here.

They ran up 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:50.560 to the front his name, I think. So I stopped 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.480 my little little CD player. I stopped it and I 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.360 put it on the number that I had the instrumental 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.480 because I hid and I started seeing it.

That's how my arms got 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.119 so big. That's how I got yoke because I was 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:13.760 working out with him. He had a construction company, so 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:15.880 he would be down their building stuff and he had 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.320 the smallest construction coming out and had he had one 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:21.159 little bit.

I ain't say nothing smart. 0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:59.199 I didn't say nothing smart, But man, I liked it 0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:02.399 down there. So you blew up and you built this 0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.479 fan base, and I'm pretty sure Universal Records wound up 0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:08.919 winning out. Was was it the Bignes War going on 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:13.399 for your services? Uh?

It 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:34.639 might be Atlantic because Universal and another company. But you 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:37.399 know Universal was putting the highest, you know, amount of 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:44.600 bread on the table. That's what you do. You do 0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:47.879 you look like back now and do you feel like 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:51.199 do you wish you would have stayed independent instead of 0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:58.360 signing a deal? No? Brother, you know, we manufacture rap songs. 0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:04.439 We sell them you know, like, um, I'm when I 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.840 when I wrote because I got high. I was doing good, 0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:11.840 but I had a family, and you know how like 0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:15.320 when you got it hard and your family living with 0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.920 her family and they walking through the house, like when 0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:22.080 y'all gonna get your own place type of stuff and 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:26.520 y'all starting to have kids and blah blah blah. So 0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:30.080 I was doing good, but I needed I needed some 0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:32.760 big boy money. I need some grown man money. You know. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:36.439 I had to have my little caddy and and and 0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:39.520 I had, you know, I had. It's like I need 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:41.720 a house, you know. I needed to. I need to 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.760 be in a position to tell my family. Come on, 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:51.240 I got exactly established. Yeah, so, um I did. I 0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:55.520 pushed me to the limit. I mean, you know, there's 0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:58.560 only so much one man can do, and that I 0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:02.880 had a group of people telling me, you know, okay, uh, 0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:16.080 here's two hundred advanced, here's a million dollars publishing. You 0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.000 can have that little shoot I wrote on that piece 0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:25.800 of place. You know what I'm saying. Alright, some said, 0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:28.080 but they said, you gotta add a little ship. I 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:32.640 won't give me that greed. Greed all day. You can 0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:35.720 take my high poetry I'm glad I did something with 0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:41.120 my high because I was just I was just working around, 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.920 just trying to write some ship that just you know, 0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:47.120 doing something by life. Y'all. Gonny, give me a million 0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:50.680 publisher and two give it all here. I can have 0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:53.240 that ship that's your and I'm gonna go get a 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:58.200 house and call some groceries and uh, you know, let 0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:02.840 me ask you. This broke. So you're in the house 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:04.760 and you said, you've got people that's kind of they're 0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.280 being cool, but they're talking ship in a little when 0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.240 you got that check, did you flows on them any 0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:14.080 you know what, I couldn't do it. He was thinking, 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:18.240 you know, like you want to do that when you 0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.160 in the house and they're talking ship and you're mad, 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:23.520 that's when you want to do that, you know what 0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:26.760 I'm saying. But after I got it, I was just 0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:29.320 happy to make it. I didn't feel like investing that 0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.360 kind of energy that all that in your face tight. 0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:34.760 At the same time, I didn't forget how they was, 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.040 you know what I'm saying, Like I wasn't tripping, but 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:45.080 you know, I don't know, man, some of that shake 0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:48.360 hands after the game, some of that sportsmanship got got 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:52.000 in me, you know, definitely. So it's like, you know, 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:54.960 you know, motherfuckering talking ship to you. It pitched you off, 0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.680 it hurt, but then after you win, you can just 0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:02.080 gonna be happy. Like they they see you, they remember 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.760 that bullshit they said, most of them is still in 0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:08.360 the same position. So it really don't it really don't 0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.320 matter if you rub it in their face or not, 0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:14.320 because the motherfucker can already see that you didn't stepped 0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.560 up to you know, you live with a better position 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:21.040 while they still struggling. So while rubbing in the motherfucker 0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:23.920 faith give me. That's just like when I tell kids 0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.040 on the and they just show it to any on 0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:29.800 the field. Let the nigga talk all day and point 0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:31.680 and do all that type of ship. But at the 0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:33.680 end of the day, you're still gonna show that you 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:36.880 better as a motherfucker. And then you and then and 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.280 they look at the scoreboard at the end of the game. 0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:42.920 You ain't gotta do no more talking. You're gonna walk through. 0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:45.600 You're gonna walk across the field. You're gonna shake a 0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:48.440 nigger hand and tell them good game. And then we're 0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:50.800 gonna get on. We're gonna go back and feel the 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:53.640 success while they be in the locker room kind of 0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:56.960 moaning over the ship. So sometimes you got to be 0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.920 the better, the bigger motherfucker get most of the time. 0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:03.680 Most of the time, I mean, you're watching motherfucking dunk 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:06.960 and after he dunk, he go run over to the 0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:09.880 other dude and he like basting his face a little 0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.680 too long. You know, it kind of makes him look bad, 0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:16.040 you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, damn on me, 0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:17.640 that's how you win. I mean, because a lot of 0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:20.520 motherfucker's expect you to be the best, the bigger motherfucker 0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:23.240 in the first place. You get me. Oh, you got 0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.600 some ship now, so why you gotta rub it in 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:27.840 their fail? Okay you are? You know you you know 0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.960 what I'm saying. So sometimes you gotta acknowledge that ship. 0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:34.080 Yeah all the time, man, You know what I find, man, 0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:38.480 Carma usually gotta wad creeping up on the motherfucker's ass anyway. 0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:42.440 So I've never been a things for a person because 0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:44.760 I've come from the mind state. Man. Look, I ain't 0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:47.680 going vestial energy and that negative bad ship. And I 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.560 usually find when the motherfucker being filed and usually hit 0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:54.640 their ass back. Yeah, yeah, and usual here them right 0:32:54.680 --> 0:33:00.200 back in the mouth. Uh. I've i um, I've been 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:04.320 I've been fucked up, and then some ship come back 0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:06.480 on me. And then I've seen some other people sucked up, 0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:09.960 some ship come back on them. And then sometimes I 0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:12.200 can get my revenge back with a little line in 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:15.680 a rap song, you know, like you know that's for me, 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.720 that's you know, they don't even listen to my mutic 0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:23.000 that satisfied your taste. But yeah, man, yeah they don't 0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.720 even missed them. I they don't play my music. So 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:29.560 I'll say something, you know, like yeah, you know, something 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:31.920 something like you know they caught the vaporish or you know, 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:35.680 like the the ah, you know I went in the end, 0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:39.760 you know, and that you do like talking to I mean, 0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.920 you gotta divorce.

Um, you've had 0:48:38.280 --> 0:48:41.320 a lot of opportunities, I assumed in the marijuana industry 0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:45.200 come your way because of that song. Have you ever 0:48:45.280 --> 0:48:47.720 thought about if it came legal on how it possibly 0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:52.320 throw on marijuana on that land? Yeah, I'm learning this, 0:48:54.320 --> 0:48:57.200 you know, you know, you know, blah blah blah like 0:48:57.400 --> 0:49:00.920 uh there's twelve hours in a day. At some point 0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:05.280 a man gotta say, uh, I'm no longer a mechanic, 0:49:05.360 --> 0:49:09.040 I'm no longer a plumber. I'm a carpenter. I'm gonna 0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:10.759 be a good ass carpenter, and I'm gonna go on. 0:49:11.400 --> 0:49:14.360 You know what I'm saying. But I'm a I'm a rapper. 0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:19.120 You ain't getting man. I ain't no farmer, you know, 0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:25.719 you know, you know I ain't going It sounds good. 0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:29.279 I bought the land or man. I ain't gonna be 0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:35.479 like somebody, and that even somebody, I'm gonna be somewhere around. 0:49:35.520 --> 0:49:38.879 I've been out here twenty three years, and people still 0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:41.759 want to get high. I can't. I can't. I can't 0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:45.040 be at home long enough to consistently run a farmer. 0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:49.000 You know. I can't even grow corn and Kyla greens 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.319 and like that. You know nothing. Question. Okay, So you've 0:49:52.360 --> 0:49:55.800 been rapping just about as long as I've been wrapping. Okay, 0:49:55.920 --> 0:49:59.719 you're still out there performing doing shows, whatever. How do 0:49:59.800 --> 0:50:02.120 you feel about people saying that it should be an 0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:06.880 age restriction for you wrap? No, Uh, that's the beautiful 0:50:06.920 --> 0:50:10.440 thing about music, See, it should be an age restricting 0:50:10.520 --> 0:50:13.040 for an athlete or something. But if he's out there 0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:17.080 doing good, let him go. You know what I'm saying. Um, 0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:20.600 what I like about being a musician as opposed to 0:50:20.640 --> 0:50:25.879 an athlete is I can sing till I die. Bob 0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:29.879 can't sat down on the stage hunting something else. I've 0:50:29.920 --> 0:50:35.040 been down hard and bade it ever since the day 0:50:35.120 --> 0:50:42.480 we met. And so that being said, I'm intrigued about 0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:46.560 being an old entertainer. I was intrigued by Chuck Berry. 0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:51.520 It didn't What intrigued me was how they get more 0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:56.719 money the older they get. And then it's like, we 0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.160 could have got that money at a young age, but 0:50:59.280 --> 0:51:03.120 our brains wasn't thinking like them, them dudes, his veterans. 0:51:04.360 --> 0:51:08.239 You know, Chuck Berry is a veteran. You know he 0:51:09.160 --> 0:51:12.000 he got what he got back with the little black 0:51:12.040 --> 0:51:15.160 and white pictures, and you know he was young, but 0:51:15.440 --> 0:51:17.680 I was watching him as a fifty year old man 0:51:18.719 --> 0:51:22.000 to his reunion. Rock and Roll is dead until Chuck 0:51:22.080 --> 0:51:25.360 Berry come to town. You see what I'm saying. You know, 0:51:26.560 --> 0:51:31.680 Gas the Raptors old until you know eight Cuba or Maca, 0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:35.000 somebody you know from that era comes. Blues is dead 0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:38.160 until b B Kin come to Town BB King, he 0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:41.080 did that. He did that genre right. They know the 0:51:41.160 --> 0:51:44.560 blues is alive. And then, just like real estate, it 0:51:44.680 --> 0:51:49.840 gets more value the older you get. You know, I 0:51:49.960 --> 0:51:53.000 go out to a club, they don't play nothing I 0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:58.279 grew up on. Now, So a dude come up old 0:51:58.320 --> 0:52:03.919 school night with j eighties, hundred dollars at the dough. 0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.719 I got to pay it because the music I used 0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:14.320 to listen to is valuable to me. It's it's so 0:52:14.520 --> 0:52:16.800 valuable that I gotta pay this extra dollar to hear it. 0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:19.799 In order to make this guy keep cranking it out 0:52:19.920 --> 0:52:23.960 for me, I gotta give him an incentive to do it. 0:52:25.239 --> 0:52:29.200 I gotta let him know that these songs are a demand. 0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:34.239 So I gotta pay extra money to see something I 0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:37.080 like now, or I gotta go see something I don't like. 0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:41.040 I gotta go see Takashi six nine. You know what 0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:43.479 I'm saying. I gotta go see. I gotta go pay. 0:52:43.960 --> 0:52:46.880 But if I want to watch Cube and Foti and 0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:51.560 eight and and that good stuff I grew up with, yeah, man, 0:52:52.920 --> 0:52:56.160 let's go brother. Yeah. Well, you know what I noticed, 0:52:58.160 --> 0:53:01.480 hip probably fifty years old this year, maybe fifty years 0:53:01.520 --> 0:53:05.040 old this year. Hip hop is the only music genre, 0:53:05.520 --> 0:53:08.360 and that was, you know, hard from people's age. But 0:53:08.880 --> 0:53:12.640 I got interesting factory statistic for y'all. I never heard 0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:15.160 nobody in the streets saying somebody was too old to wrap. 0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:18.520 I've heard white folks in those offices though, when I 0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:20.320 was a and R in the publishing you know, the 0:53:20.400 --> 0:53:23.120 publishing world. Oh he's a little mature and I'm talking 0:53:23.120 --> 0:53:25.080 about twenty nine thirty years old. Like, what are you 0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:27.960 talking about.

This is an 0:53:36.360 --> 0:53:39.200 old man used to play chess with me and he 0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:42.440 had saved these. He was like, uh, here it was. 0:53:43.000 --> 0:53:44.560 It was I got. I kind of got a little 0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:47.239 bit of I got to got that introduction to my 0:53:47.360 --> 0:53:50.920 crazy wrap from He was like, it was just sundown 0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:54.080 in the border town built at the gates of Hell, 0:53:54.680 --> 0:53:57.520 where the women and men it does this sin, but 0:53:57.640 --> 0:54:00.879 it's much too violent to tell. There came a man 0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:05.640 walking through the land named Bootheill Flash McCoy. He played 0:54:05.680 --> 0:54:08.520 with his gun in the morning sun like a kid 0:54:08.600 --> 0:54:11.480 would play with his toy. He was wandering around and 0:54:11.600 --> 0:54:15.080 hating him town. Therefore he kept much to himself. The 0:54:15.200 --> 0:54:17.520 man was so fast he took a looking glass and 0:54:17.640 --> 0:54:21.200 beat his motherfucking selling. He was talking about his cowboys, 0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:24.759 and you know, like he was a good rapper, you know, 0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:28.040 Dolar Mike. I was born in a barrel of butcher knives, 0:54:28.480 --> 0:54:32.919 shot nash to cot, I drunk an ocean eight to el, 0:54:33.360 --> 0:54:37.000 I chew railroad iron and shoot out steal and boom 0:54:37.040 --> 0:54:39.680 boom boom. They were. They were rappers, and there was 0:54:39.800 --> 0:54:43.680 old man. And the old man had funnier rhymes. This 0:54:43.880 --> 0:54:47.840 is blood fly the master class. I'm hit a sock sualtass, 0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:51.719 you know. And then I watched the old people in church, 0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:54.560 the old women get up there and sitting they tell 0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:57.720 to play something, the old gospel groups, the mighty clouds 0:54:57.800 --> 0:55:02.319 that Jodans up.

I wanted to tell stories 1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:58.560 like I didn't want to be like our fast paced 1:00:58.640 --> 1:01:02.400 and whatever. I want to tell the niggas like who 1:01:02.560 --> 1:01:05.160 came through the hood last night and dried to blast. 1:01:05.400 --> 1:01:08.280 I wanted to tell niggas like and I felt like 1:01:08.560 --> 1:01:12.920 you had to do that two more sinister fucking like 1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:15.640 you said, baseline type of ship. You know what I'm saying. 1:01:15.960 --> 1:01:19.560 I never felt when I started writing raps because Nigga 1:01:19.640 --> 1:01:21.640 I was still on the book. I was still in 1:01:21.760 --> 1:01:25.120 Dragnew every day you give me. Even when I was 1:01:25.280 --> 1:01:28.240 making records and still touring and all of that, I 1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:30.120 would get off the plane and go right to the 1:01:30.200 --> 1:01:33.360 block because I still felt like that's where I wanted 1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:37.720 to be. So my music was always about what was 1:01:37.800 --> 1:01:40.400 going on in the neighborhood. I didn't know ship else, 1:01:41.280 --> 1:01:43.400 I said. I didn't ship up until the only thing 1:01:43.520 --> 1:01:46.200 we did was went to Mississippi and came back, and 1:01:46.320 --> 1:01:49.880 we came straight back to Compton. So when I started 1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:52.960 making music, I didn't want to be all like just 1:01:54.440 --> 1:01:57.120 I didn't give a funk about mel Fucker's dancing. I 1:01:57.200 --> 1:02:00.360 didn't give a funk about NI. I wanted niggas sitting 1:02:00.400 --> 1:02:04.360 their cars and listening to my ship talk about one 1:02:04.440 --> 1:02:07.280 time came through last night, so and so I went 1:02:07.360 --> 1:02:11.400 to jail. The niggers across the street came through, or 1:02:11.520 --> 1:02:14.920 the enemies came through, or so and so did this, 1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:18.560 or the home he got jacked, and you know that's all. 1:02:18.720 --> 1:02:20.760 That's all we That's all I knew, So I didn't 1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:24.280 want to talk about ship else. It's crazy that was 1:02:24.320 --> 1:02:28.320 your thing, man. You know what, do I think all 1:02:28.480 --> 1:02:31.120 that stuff serves this place in the body of music? 1:02:32.080 --> 1:02:34.400 You feel what I'm saying. I think everybody listening to 1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:37.880 people for a move because I know I was really 1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:40.080 up on I was really you on your stuff, man, 1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:43.040 like real heavy. But a month ago he was listening 1:02:43.080 --> 1:02:46.680 to it. Man, I said this, dude, because the six 1:02:46.760 --> 1:02:49.000 you'll be saying be funny as a motherfucker dog, but 1:02:49.040 --> 1:02:50.880 to be some real ship, like I can feel when 1:02:50.920 --> 1:02:52.640 you're coming from what I can say, Man, he's mad 1:02:52.680 --> 1:02:56.680 on this mother really clowning up. You know what I'm saying. Now, 1:02:58.240 --> 1:03:00.640 these people when they hear these records. When your ex 1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:03.520 wife uter record, man, was she mad? Is anybody was threatening? 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:07.000 Like a law suit? You know? People real lategious now 1:03:07.040 --> 1:03:14.200 a days. That's how I look at it. One of 1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:19.000 my urges was to beat their ass. But I took 1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:26.800 all bad energy and wrote lyricus. Then I put some 1:03:27.000 --> 1:03:31.760 music down. What I was trying to do is convert 1:03:31.880 --> 1:03:37.320 that bad energy into some money, something positive. All that 1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:40.400 energy you'll get a homeboy going through it with his woman. 1:03:40.880 --> 1:03:44.920 He called you up. He talking. Now you're listening. He 1:03:45.040 --> 1:03:47.919 ain't making no money. You ain't making no money because 1:03:47.920 --> 1:03:52.360 you're listening to him. All of this energy is going 1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:56.200 in the wrong direction. How do you turn that badages? 1:03:56.320 --> 1:03:58.720 She was on my mind. I was angry about it, 1:03:59.360 --> 1:04:01.640 so I just you know, I got to I got 1:04:01.760 --> 1:04:04.960 to I got to get paid that if you take 1:04:05.080 --> 1:04:07.360 so much of my time, I got to convert that 1:04:07.480 --> 1:04:10.840 into money, because we only got tied. You can get 1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:15.160 money back, but you can't get that. You know, she 1:04:15.400 --> 1:04:17.680 get off in your head and she she messing up 1:04:17.760 --> 1:04:23.680 your time. You know, then it's obviously something your mind 1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:27.120 is on it. So then I just started writing, you know, 1:04:27.880 --> 1:04:30.160 boom boom, And then I was just trying to change 1:04:30.760 --> 1:04:33.720 all of that, all that hostility, This that the other 1:04:34.280 --> 1:04:36.880 converted into some money. Maybe somebody can relate to it, 1:04:37.520 --> 1:04:40.960 and then it is there. If a guy listen, if 1:04:41.000 --> 1:04:42.840 a guy gets mad at this girl and he listened 1:04:42.840 --> 1:04:46.720 to that album, he relates to it. Here laugh But 1:04:46.840 --> 1:04:50.920 he won't. He won't, he won't hit her, he won't 1:04:51.080 --> 1:04:55.000 do anything that's going to mess up his life. He's 1:04:55.000 --> 1:05:01.840 gonna do the next best thing. Leave. Uh, you know, 1:05:02.000 --> 1:05:04.080 go get him, Go get into some money, go get 1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:06.960 something better, you know what I say, Like I was, 1:05:07.120 --> 1:05:09.120 I had the solution. I presented the problem. But I 1:05:09.680 --> 1:05:15.560 I presented the solution, you know, um and I you 1:05:15.640 --> 1:05:21.800 know I'd be like, fuck you bitch, goodbye. I had 1:05:21.880 --> 1:05:28.000 to walk out the house today. You always got something 1:05:28.280 --> 1:05:34.240 to say. Some dude's gonna relate to that, you know. Yeah. 1:05:34.520 --> 1:05:37.880 So I took all that energy and and that song 1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:43.600 sounds better than me. Then the reality of squad cars 1:05:43.680 --> 1:05:46.640 being there and me jumping on her, the kids watching 1:05:46.720 --> 1:05:50.960 me jump on her, you know, still in still all 1:05:51.000 --> 1:05:56.240 of that, that last argument you gave. Daddy made the 1:05:56.320 --> 1:06:00.680 Family two hundred and fifty thousand. It was one of 1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:03.800 my smallest selling records, but you know it went to 1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:10.080 something positively, you know, Boom boom boom. So yeah, you 1:06:10.160 --> 1:06:14.320 know that was just me turning that bad energy into 1:06:14.440 --> 1:06:19.000 some money.

It's 1:11:23.920 --> 1:11:27.400 just out there, you know, And I know people probably 1:11:27.400 --> 1:11:29.560 ain't gonna leave New York and wherever they live and 1:11:29.680 --> 1:11:35.879 come to that land. But you know, if we discussed 1:11:35.920 --> 1:11:37.880 it all they could get some of that land off 1:11:37.920 --> 1:11:41.120 the freeway.
