Speaker 1: what's happening with your big dog? I miss you man, man,
Speaker 1: just trying to live man, trying to live up. Check
Speaker 1: care of that boy, you know, got some issues with
Speaker 1: my daughter. Bro Um, everything going good, but it's not
Speaker 1: going good, you know what I'm saying. So you know,
Speaker 1: my daughter out there Rennegade, and she out there sucking
Speaker 1: up and she just won't get it. So I let
Speaker 1: her do a thing, and you know, I got her
Speaker 1: son and she ain't got to weary body. So other
Speaker 1: than that, trying to maintain bro that's all we can do. Man.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of man that's going on
Speaker 1: this weekend. I'm not going to live on it too much.
Speaker 1: But Kanye, don't blew up the damn Internet. That guy's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know something something that's wrong with him. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, James, the one thing I don't like
Speaker 1: about it. Man, we gotta stop exploiting our brothers. Man,
Speaker 1: it had never had well, I ain't gonna say that
Speaker 1: never happened, because it's a it's a lot of black
Speaker 1: men getting the picture they're starting to to realize. But Internet,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna gonna let you or allow us to
Speaker 1: be on the same page right ever we get there,
Speaker 1: because everybody is at each other. Thrown on this ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, man, And when I say exploit. Man. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, man, this is what we do for
Speaker 1: a living man. You know, you want to conduct the
Speaker 1: best interviews you possibly can. But I don't know about um.
Speaker 1: I don't know about doing this at the expense of
Speaker 1: somebody else, you know. And then don't don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: Kanye is very accountable for what he says at his mouth,
Speaker 1: what comes out of his mouth. But it's obvious that
Speaker 1: something that's wrong with this guy. Well we've been knowing that,
Speaker 1: and you start seeing signs when his mother passed. I
Speaker 1: can remember when his mother passed and how he just
Speaker 1: lift out. So I think I think a lot of
Speaker 1: that got to do with it. But you know, the
Speaker 1: white lives matter of ship and and all that. You know,
Speaker 1: I look at it. I look at it from both sides.
Speaker 1: Nor you know, you asked yourself what the black lives
Speaker 1: matter me to us? It didn't do nothing for us.
Speaker 1: You know. I watched this which calling with uh what's
Speaker 1: the name Canda's once and they got eighty million dollars
Speaker 1: and they didn't put nothing back in the community. Is
Speaker 1: nothing from black lives. So here you got Kanye saying
Speaker 1: pretty much think like she do. And here he's saying
Speaker 1: white lives matter for whatever reason. Do I agree with it?
Speaker 1: I think all lives matter. But when you're thinking about
Speaker 1: black people, we we we have to lead toward ourselves
Speaker 1: before we started looking at white lives because a lot
Speaker 1: of ship has played on us. But can you just
Speaker 1: suck up in the head kind of But he kind
Speaker 1: of makes sense to a certain degree. Do I do
Speaker 1: I agree with that white lives matter thing above black lives? No,
Speaker 1: I don't. But you know, some things he said makes sense.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying for some stuff he says
Speaker 1: makes sense. And then I'm never liked generalizing the people though, James.
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't agree with the stuff he said
Speaker 1: necessarily about Jewish people. I have Jewish friends, good friends
Speaker 1: of mine, and some of the best people I know.
Speaker 1: I've never done nothing wrong to me. And I think
Speaker 1: you've got evil Black people, You've got evil Jewish people,
Speaker 1: you have evil Mexican people, you have evil Asian people.
Speaker 1: They are bad people. Yeah, They're they're bad people. And
Speaker 1: every demographic and everybody, you know what I mean, every
Speaker 1: culture has they share bad people. So I don't think
Speaker 1: you can just generalize like that. And I think the
Speaker 1: one thing with us is the people. Man, if we
Speaker 1: find it spiritsly and every little thing. You know, Kanye
Speaker 1: was saying he think that people getting paid just to
Speaker 1: silence him. I don't know if it's that serious. Bro. Well,
Speaker 1: when you look at the industry, and you shouldn't know
Speaker 1: better than I do. Uh, it is a such thing
Speaker 1: of being black balled out the music, the music business, uh,
Speaker 1: the acting business, you know, so it do exist. You
Speaker 1: can't be black balled. And I think that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1: They're trying to silence him. I don't know what for
Speaker 1: what reason, but I think it's possible that they wanted
Speaker 1: black balling. They don't think he make any sense. He's
Speaker 1: not doing nothing for our culture the way you're talking. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you've got a lot of people
Speaker 1: managed to do. He could have these names. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this, man, I was in the music industry
Speaker 1: for a long time, and you saw a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff when he was found their death row, some of
Speaker 1: the parties and stuff like that. Man, just some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that go on. There's a lot of rich,
Speaker 1: realistic stuff that goes on over there. Man. It's there
Speaker 1: are a whole lot of and I don't want to
Speaker 1: be too descriptive with it, but it's a lot of
Speaker 1: games that they play with some of these young boys
Speaker 1: to come in there, you know, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people when they talk about See, when people think
Speaker 1: about selling your soul, it ain't about no mystical magical
Speaker 1: stuff and the devil popping up and somebody dressed in
Speaker 1: all black in the circle over a pentagram. Note, you
Speaker 1: see your soul. Whenever you decide to do things that
Speaker 1: aren't in your nature in order to advance in your field,
Speaker 1: that your soul. So if you're not a homosexual man
Speaker 1: and you decide to partake upon those type of activities,
Speaker 1: then you have sold your soul, right right, that's true.
Speaker 1: There are several artists and a lot of them do
Speaker 1: that I'm not. And you know they assume people today.
Speaker 1: So I'm not about to say people's names because I
Speaker 1: don't have no videos, I don't have no pictures. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't even be around those six ways when they do
Speaker 1: what they're doing. But I know for a fact, man,
Speaker 1: it's several of your favorite entertainments out there that aren't
Speaker 1: sold out. Man. Yeah, I mean social media. You've got
Speaker 1: a lot of guys, a lot of people that shell
Speaker 1: out to do certain things just to just to generate
Speaker 1: uh lights, muse, oh kind of ship. Man. You know,
Speaker 1: my friend got an interest in theory about this. I
Speaker 1: won't say his name because he's very well known. I
Speaker 1: might try to get him on the phone if I
Speaker 1: can to night, and I might try to get him
Speaker 1: on the phone at night. But he told me something
Speaker 1: that was very interesting yesterday. Man, he told me, he said, Man,
Speaker 1: you know, he remembers he was walking down Sunset. One
Speaker 1: of his partners, she just came from the House of
Speaker 1: Blues to a concert, and he was walking, you know,
Speaker 1: the House of Blue. Sometimes you gotta park up the
Speaker 1: street that wanted the parking lots. You know, you gotta
Speaker 1: go pay for parking up the streets somewhere. So sometimes
Speaker 1: you know, when they're parking lot get full, you gotta
Speaker 1: go park somewhere else. Right, So he said, him and
Speaker 1: his buddy was walking back to their car after the concert, right,
Speaker 1: And you said, cat pulled up on the side of
Speaker 1: him and try to so listen him a man, you
Speaker 1: know who it was? Oh, Kanye tried to Solsten. Maybe
Speaker 1: that'll explain some of the stuff. He got going on
Speaker 1: in his mind. You see what I'm saying, because he
Speaker 1: wanted the rap game so bad. Dog ain't gonna tell
Speaker 1: him what he had to do to get to where
Speaker 1: he had. You feel what I'm saying. And now I
Speaker 1: was catching up with him. See the one thing people
Speaker 1: don't remember, Man, money ain't the bad and all the
Speaker 1: money is nice. I wish I had two billion dollars, right,
Speaker 1: I wish I had two million dollars. But you still
Speaker 1: came erase what you've done in your mind. If that
Speaker 1: is the case. The man told me he was walking
Speaker 1: down street with his buddy. He pulled up. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it was him. Was that, you know? Like, but
Speaker 1: he didn't know what he wanted, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And dude, like, man, I ain't with you know, with
Speaker 1: all that wom but I look at it, you know,
Speaker 1: teach his own on him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, I truly believe he's not the only cat
Speaker 1: in the Bage's so a lot of other cats that's
Speaker 1: out there living like that. Is that my business? No? Um?
Speaker 1: Is that some crazy ship? Yes? But I've been around
Speaker 1: some rich people. I've been around people with money and
Speaker 1: you can never predict what they're gonna do, what they
Speaker 1: want to do. Some people just have people around them
Speaker 1: just to have friends or so called friends. So it's
Speaker 1: a lot of ship that goes on and and that
Speaker 1: business that you don't want to attach yourself to. So
Speaker 1: am I gonna put it past I don't put it
Speaker 1: past nobody. But you know that you know we're not
Speaker 1: gonna say no names again because we're not the gossip color.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. But it's just like you
Speaker 1: got to do that. We ain't gonna say this thing,
Speaker 1: but well known actor O G Rapper try to holl
Speaker 1: that one of the homies. That means you both know
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, right, Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Ain't go say his name. You'll gotta
Speaker 1: do your own clues and homework. But he's a well
Speaker 1: known rapper, well known actor. When the O G is
Speaker 1: one of the pioneers and hip, I try to have that, Um,
Speaker 1: I know that's like that, but they never came at me,
Speaker 1: so good luck. Yeah, yeah, for real, that's what I said.
Speaker 1: As long as then you know what, and then I
Speaker 1: want to say this to our audience. We love everybody,
Speaker 1: whatever your preferences, do your things right, do your thing,
Speaker 1: you know. I just think it's crazy though. I do
Speaker 1: think it's an issue though. Man, when you got cats
Speaker 1: just doing that to other cats under the guys because
Speaker 1: they kind of got um over the barrel. They know
Speaker 1: they have something that they want so they can force
Speaker 1: the people on that. And I think it's because I
Speaker 1: think it's one of those things, James, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, they want to catch you up in the bag,
Speaker 1: so you can't tell no secrets. Now once they get you,
Speaker 1: once they get you to force that your manhood, they
Speaker 1: know you can't go back and talk about nothing. We
Speaker 1: got heard individual has paperwork you gotta sign, so you
Speaker 1: could never speak on what the is going on our
Speaker 1: own them. So I think I heard it through with
Speaker 1: the amazing and Puffy thing. So if that's true, man,
Speaker 1: that's some crazy ship. So you can never speak on
Speaker 1: or come out. You can be sued. So whoever it
Speaker 1: was signed, that is a grant to whatever is happening.
Speaker 1: So you've got a lot of cats that participating that ship.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It ain't no different from
Speaker 1: you know these cats that you know cats that being prisoned.
Speaker 1: If they come home and and back with Betty, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, but go back to prison and
Speaker 1: you know, laying over Rodney. So I mean it's everywhere,
Speaker 1: but in in a different form. So I mean it
Speaker 1: don't make it right on no side knowing. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, everybody wants to put everybody
Speaker 1: business out there and not speaking they fucking dirt because
Speaker 1: it's some cats that's talking about other people and just
Speaker 1: as worse as them, but they don't want to air.
Speaker 1: They launch you feel me, and then give me a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of a whole bunch of yeah, and then
Speaker 1: get mad when when certain individuals are their ship. So
Speaker 1: you know, I ain't I'm just ain'tle with the tip
Speaker 1: of tampoo and ship and whatever them cats doing over there.
Speaker 1: Because they're rich, they do what the funk they want
Speaker 1: to do. And the way the way social media is
Speaker 1: and all this other ship, people don't believe what they
Speaker 1: want to believe anyway, And it don't matter what you
Speaker 1: say the truth or not, even if he ain't doing that.
Speaker 1: Once you put it in the air like that, that's
Speaker 1: what people believe anyway. So man, But like I said, Kanye,
Speaker 1: it's different. But if you look at what are you're
Speaker 1: talking about about, like Black Lives Matter, and then here
Speaker 1: you got this Candas Owns chick talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: putting these people out there that that raised eighty million
Speaker 1: dollars and black people are still where they act. They
Speaker 1: didn't come and fix nothing that needed to be fixed,
Speaker 1: and they got this money off off the name of
Speaker 1: a George Floyd. So you know, what do that tell
Speaker 1: you about people that's doing this ship? I mean knowing
Speaker 1: this is just the funk up world we live in
Speaker 1: and sometimes that happened to ship. That's this to you.
Speaker 1: We got to accept it because we're not in a
Speaker 1: position to change it, none of it. We can talk
Speaker 1: about it, we can, we can we live the ship,
Speaker 1: but there's too many people on this planet to change
Speaker 1: this ship. Well you know the thing he was James,
Speaker 1: whenever you have and that's just unfortunate. But it's just
Speaker 1: not like it's just not the Black Lives Matter Foundation,
Speaker 1: it's all of these foundations. Man, it's a money play
Speaker 1: right everybody. Man, I'm gonna tell you, everybody is able
Speaker 1: to monetize Black pain and struggle. Everybody is doing it
Speaker 1: from these podcasters to everybody else. Everybody is able. Everybody
Speaker 1: is almost out there, like they monetize and black pain,
Speaker 1: whether that's our mental illness, whether it's you know, this
Speaker 1: brother's mental illness, because I do think something that's you know,
Speaker 1: mentally wrong with kind. Yeah, I don't think he's all
Speaker 1: the way crazy. He's a very intelligent cat. I don't
Speaker 1: agree with all the stuff he saved, but you don't
Speaker 1: make too big in dollars just about being a dumb right,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. So there's something tune there,
Speaker 1: and I once again I have to elaborate. I don't
Speaker 1: agree with a lot of stuff that guy says, but
Speaker 1: this is America, James, and we have a right to
Speaker 1: have an opinion, whether that's wrong or right. And that
Speaker 1: goes from the claim from the man the claim holding
Speaker 1: the rally talking to a whole bunch of other white
Speaker 1: folks who don't like us, down to the dude down
Speaker 1: the fairy con and then in the is Lion brothers.
Speaker 1: Everybody has a right to say what they want to
Speaker 1: as long as they're not hurt nobody, as long as
Speaker 1: you're not putting your hands on nobody, as long as
Speaker 1: you're not hurting nobody. You can say what you want to.
Speaker 1: And I think we in the time in this country
Speaker 1: to where we overly sensitive. Now, Bro, you can't say
Speaker 1: nothing true. Anything you say you can lose your livelihood.
Speaker 1: Anything you say, you could possibly lose your lives here
Speaker 1: and you say something about the wrong person you true.
Speaker 1: But white America has consistently been able to go under
Speaker 1: the guys of journalism and say whatever they want to
Speaker 1: about Black America. Like I look at this guy that
Speaker 1: used to be a UM. He used to be a
Speaker 1: football coach all Bern. Now he's UM. He's a senator
Speaker 1: in the state of Alabama. Right now. This guy used
Speaker 1: to coach UM, you know by me having a son
Speaker 1: to play college football and all that. Now here in
Speaker 1: the league. I had them visits to the house to
Speaker 1: where the coaches to come in your living room. They
Speaker 1: sit down and talking to you and your wife, talking
Speaker 1: about how great they go take care of your kids.
Speaker 1: This dude, Tommy timber Timberfield is over racist. Used to
Speaker 1: be to here football coach for Auburn. Now he's out there.
Speaker 1: You see who the true him? Just amazed not many
Speaker 1: black nape living rooms. He don't sit in the black
Speaker 1: alsholds and live to them people, I'm gonna love your
Speaker 1: son like he mind, I'm gonna take care of him.
Speaker 1: But this dude don't even like him. He used this
Speaker 1: because he needs just to win games. That it is
Speaker 1: so when people think that just because you're talking about
Speaker 1: the NBA, NFL or any of them other you know,
Speaker 1: big mega, multi, big in dollar organizations, all those people,
Speaker 1: all those organizations are ramped by rich white folks. Now
Speaker 1: all of them, O praguice, I would be a foolish
Speaker 1: citip here and say that some of them do. Who's
Speaker 1: up there? Because I heard the guy that owns New
Speaker 1: England is a very good dude, good man. I think
Speaker 1: that people that the Rooney's the own Pittsburgh, I think
Speaker 1: they're good people. As a matter of fact, they was
Speaker 1: the ones pushing to hire more black coaches. But please believe,
Speaker 1: it's a whole lot of racism and all this stuff. Man,
Speaker 1: not everybody, but it's there. I believe it. But it's there,
Speaker 1: and we gotta stop being so. Our vision is real
Speaker 1: blurry and black people man as black people because we
Speaker 1: believe any damn thing. We don't research something and whatever
Speaker 1: we here online if I come on here and say
Speaker 1: the most insane stuff. It's some of these people that's
Speaker 1: gonna take discuss well you like you're saying, we got
Speaker 1: all these the majority of our some racist coaches without
Speaker 1: that racist coach coming to sit down at your table
Speaker 1: and talk talk about all the things you talked about
Speaker 1: cross taking care of this kid. We're gonna make sure
Speaker 1: your kids get the best. YadA YadA. We fight into
Speaker 1: that ship and we say, okay, right, did you did
Speaker 1: you research some of the coaches came and shut down
Speaker 1: with you to see the best or what was the
Speaker 1: best school for your son to go to? A hundred
Speaker 1: and ten percent because one thing I knew when I
Speaker 1: told my son this, because you can kind of get
Speaker 1: to me, that process ruins kids, right, And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you why. Because you've got a bunch of prone people.
Speaker 1: You have a bunch of adults that's pretty much kissing
Speaker 1: your ass. Right, you got a bunch of a dolts.
Speaker 1: You've got a bunch of a dolts that's coming, and
Speaker 1: they kissed me your ass. They're telling me what they
Speaker 1: want to tell because they recruit you to come to
Speaker 1: their school. Right. I told my son this and I
Speaker 1: told my wife this. Whenever they would say I like
Speaker 1: this coach, I like that coach. I see all the
Speaker 1: motherfucker's liars, all of my lives, because they're coming in
Speaker 1: your house just like they're going to the next twenty
Speaker 1: hours that night to give the same ship. Oh you're
Speaker 1: gonna play your first year when you come here. Man,
Speaker 1: you look at you gotta just use common sense. You
Speaker 1: look at the depth chart. You can see. Man, they
Speaker 1: got dudes that haven't been there for three years already,
Speaker 1: four years, and you've been playing the last three. You
Speaker 1: think your son would come just out of high school
Speaker 1: and not came our position. Come on, man, they will
Speaker 1: tell you. They tell you whatever they need to tell
Speaker 1: you for you to come to school. Now. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, my son ultimately wound up attending usc best
Speaker 1: decision we could ever made it as a family because football.
Speaker 1: We don't know how long that school last form, but
Speaker 1: that degree you got, messy, it's gonna lasting a long time.
Speaker 1: See the whole thing else with that stuff, you have
Speaker 1: to know how to take advantage of the people that's
Speaker 1: taking advantage of you. You go to school, just don't
Speaker 1: be there to play football. Get you an education major
Speaker 1: in the class that you want to come in because
Speaker 1: you're a student athlete not athletes student. You gotta remember,
Speaker 1: they're making millions of dollars. You're not really gonna get
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to get from them, So you might
Speaker 1: as well take advantage of it and go up then
Speaker 1: and get as melean degrees as you can if out
Speaker 1: of there right right, as many of them as you
Speaker 1: possibly can. And I think that that's the thing in America.
Speaker 1: We live in a very, very racist society. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you this, I have never had a white
Speaker 1: man stopped even doing nothing I want to do right.
Speaker 1: They've never impeeded in me. And that's where I'm at now.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. They can make stuff difficult for
Speaker 1: you if you allow them. That's why you have to
Speaker 1: walk a certain way and move a certain way. You
Speaker 1: have to work in perfection. I told all my keys
Speaker 1: coming up, is that bees and seas ain't good enough.
Speaker 1: You have to get a's because you've already got a
Speaker 1: lot going against you right from the moment you walk
Speaker 1: into you already have a moment. You already have a
Speaker 1: lot going against you. So you have to do whatever
Speaker 1: you can to put yourself up on that next level
Speaker 1: of where they can't heat on. And I'm a firm believer.
Speaker 1: I told all my kids, I didn't preach that gospel
Speaker 1: about get you with the green and go get you
Speaker 1: a job. No, you go open your own business. Get
Speaker 1: your own business now. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with having the job. Ain't nothing wrong with getting
Speaker 1: you a job until you get to where you want
Speaker 1: to be. But I think the plan for everybody should
Speaker 1: be for them to own their own stuff. Because Daly, James,
Speaker 1: you can't fire yourself from That's true. I can fire you,
Speaker 1: you can't fire your self. It's like if you work
Speaker 1: for a corporation at times get tight. It's not like
Speaker 1: you gonna say, well, I'm gonna stop paying myself to
Speaker 1: keep Jerome up here working. All you go do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do until you know you might lay off
Speaker 1: Jerome into your own but you're still gonna be there.
Speaker 1: But it's not that easy to to start your own business.
Speaker 1: So I believe, I don't know. I don't know. Um
Speaker 1: I think the eyes are against us in a sense,
Speaker 1: yeah they are, But but you know, James, not to
Speaker 1: cut you off, bro, I'm gonna tell you something. You
Speaker 1: know what we had to do, see the problem. But
Speaker 1: most of our people, not all because I'm not even
Speaker 1: go to the being generalized all of people, because we're
Speaker 1: not a minor lift. We're not all the same. But
Speaker 1: it's different, right, But I'll look at the Hispanic rate.
Speaker 1: For example, a Mexican would come in this country, don't
Speaker 1: speak no English, don't got number five dollars in this pocket,
Speaker 1: and they will get cardboard, palace or whatever they got.
Speaker 1: You will see him ride down the street, they go
Speaker 1: hust Let make fifty trips today just to put food
Speaker 1: the table at home. I'll mind it because they don't
Speaker 1: have any they Yeah, they're totally different from the way
Speaker 1: we get down and our grind. You see them out
Speaker 1: there picking up cans, man, just in a month. Man,
Speaker 1: they're making maybe a hundred and eighty dollars a week.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Maybe a hundred bucks or
Speaker 1: a week just picking up cans and and and plastic.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, for sure. So you
Speaker 1: know they don't mind, not even percent of them don't
Speaker 1: mind living together, you know what I'm saying. Where we
Speaker 1: can live in a five bed room house, just one
Speaker 1: person when they occupy each and every one of their bedrooms,
Speaker 1: and they make it easier for them to accomplish, easier
Speaker 1: for them to save money. That's why when the comedy
Speaker 1: economy get bad, it's hard us because we can't have
Speaker 1: nobody else to live in the house with us. We
Speaker 1: don't trust nobody, may not be even family. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want nobody else in the house with us, James, we
Speaker 1: don't want nobody in the house with us. We don't
Speaker 1: want to do certain work. If it's backbreaking work, we
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. Hell no, I'm not working
Speaker 1: at McDonald's. Hell no, I'm not lifting the palace. Hell no,
Speaker 1: I'm not lifting the boxes. You know what we want
Speaker 1: to do change. We want to sit up and wait
Speaker 1: for the cavalry to come. But I got a message
Speaker 1: for you black people. The cavalry is not coming. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody come to your rescue. The only person come to
Speaker 1: your rescue is you. You are the only one that's
Speaker 1: gonna come to your rescue. So you have to get
Speaker 1: off your ass and do whatever you have to do
Speaker 1: to put food on the table. So when I say
Speaker 1: open up your own business, it may not start off
Speaker 1: as no hell of a five stuff. You may have
Speaker 1: to start off with this. You may have to start
Speaker 1: off point like let's say, if you want to buy
Speaker 1: a truck, right, and you want to go on the
Speaker 1: truck it, you may actually have to get you a
Speaker 1: trucking job and save your money up for a few years.
Speaker 1: But we have to sacrifice. And when I say sacrifice,
Speaker 1: that means maybe me and my brother get this preeup together.
Speaker 1: He moved his family and I moved my in. We
Speaker 1: both saved up and go in on something. I see
Speaker 1: him do it all the time, James. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you someonhen. I was in the liquor industry. Right. I
Speaker 1: used to visit these liquor stories in south central l A. Right.
Speaker 1: And when I tell you all those stories were once
Speaker 1: owned by black people in the seventies and eighties, right,
Speaker 1: they sold them all. Now it's mostly Asian people in
Speaker 1: the right. You know what I would see these Asian
Speaker 1: people do. I had had a good buddy of my
Speaker 1: name Kimp on the liquor store. Right. I think it's
Speaker 1: Western liquor. Right. So the whole time I was there,
Speaker 1: I was going to every Thursday and see Kim take
Speaker 1: his order. Now, was it cool? Dude? Always tell me
Speaker 1: get you something to drink? Want some chips? You know
Speaker 1: he's cool dude. Right, I come in there. The next
Speaker 1: year he induced me to his brother and I said,
Speaker 1: where are you going? Man? Where are you going? Right?
Speaker 1: He would tell me, um, oh, I'm going to open
Speaker 1: up this other store. We just bought this other store.
Speaker 1: So obviously the brothers stay there and see Kim slipping
Speaker 1: the back of that store on a mattress. He had
Speaker 1: a little palette back there. They had a rice cooker.
Speaker 1: James and this dude he was working there. I were
Speaker 1: coming there seven in the morning, right, if I came,
Speaker 1: if you're going that store at nine o'clock the night,
Speaker 1: you would see him there. Now his brother is living
Speaker 1: in the store. Right. He don't gave his brother that story.
Speaker 1: Him and his wife they got a little bit of
Speaker 1: room back, They got a right because they live humble.
Speaker 1: They saved their money, and these liquor stores is making money, right,
Speaker 1: making big money, so they would save their money. Now
Speaker 1: him brought him a house. His other brother don't bought
Speaker 1: him a career. Now, then they had a sister come over.
Speaker 1: They have a certain program James. Let me tell you, man,
Speaker 1: we expect someone to do us a favor all the time,
Speaker 1: do us a solid. I ain't had nobody to do
Speaker 1: me a solid yet a life on fifty two years
Speaker 1: I've been walking this earth. I've had a few good
Speaker 1: people give me opportunities, but I had to be able
Speaker 1: to take advantage of them opportunities and the work to
Speaker 1: keep it going. You see what I'm saying. We blame
Speaker 1: everybody for our condition. True, we have had it harder
Speaker 1: than everybody else, but that means we have to work
Speaker 1: ten times harder. Right our thing right there. It's like
Speaker 1: me having the podcast network. Dog, when I tell you
Speaker 1: I get a million people coming me every day trying
Speaker 1: to do podcasts. Right, I have, yet, I've yet the
Speaker 1: whole time I've been doing this, have somebody come to
Speaker 1: me and tell me, hey man, let me learn about
Speaker 1: the sales side of the business. Let me learn this
Speaker 1: side of the business. No, every we always want to
Speaker 1: be a friend of the camera, dog or in charge
Speaker 1: of something. But we're not prepared, dog, because we're not
Speaker 1: willing to start here and go here and take them
Speaker 1: baby steps. Because we wanted how we we wanted, how
Speaker 1: we wanted. We don't want to live with nobody else.
Speaker 1: Like you said, we don't say, hey, you know what
Speaker 1: we can do? Good. I'm gonna tell you something. I
Speaker 1: asked one of my family members, maybe ten fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: It was for all of them houses in North County
Speaker 1: went up, right, you know, not them house with two
Speaker 1: or three million dollars. Right there was a house that
Speaker 1: was maybe for six fift I asked one of my relatives, Hey, man,
Speaker 1: we should buy that house right there, six bed room house, right,
Speaker 1: six bed room house. Man, I can't live with nobody else.
Speaker 1: I can't do it. Guess what, bro, guess what. Nine
Speaker 1: months later he was sleeping in my living room. But
Speaker 1: he can't live with nobody. He can't do nothing. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: we play ourselves all the time. Bro, right, we play
Speaker 1: ourselves all the time. We stuck on the dump stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't even think we have a solution for it.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we would get better if everybody
Speaker 1: take accountability for the ship they do and where they
Speaker 1: want to go. But I don't. We really don't have
Speaker 1: a solution. So where did we go there? Where are
Speaker 1: we gonna be? In the nixt Let's say ten years. Man,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be rough because I'm gonna tell you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, James, we wasn't end it. Sometimes in
Speaker 1: this country that's something parallel, dog, And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you we just like everybody else. Man. You know, this
Speaker 1: is a job, man. We're not living in the laft
Speaker 1: luxury is cool, you know what I mean, it's cool.
Speaker 1: But this is a job though, and I think about
Speaker 1: it every day. Man, where this country is head man,
Speaker 1: as far as um, it's not there. You remember they
Speaker 1: had those good union jobs. You know, you hope to
Speaker 1: get you one of those good union jobs to where
Speaker 1: you could work on the docks and make fifty sixty
Speaker 1: an hour. Those opportunities ain't there no more. Those opportunities
Speaker 1: aren't as a funditness they used to be. So we really,
Speaker 1: really man have to make our own opportunities. And that's that.
Speaker 1: That's one of the great thing about podcasting. But it's
Speaker 1: like anything else. We see something the term you know,
Speaker 1: at first it was hip hop. People saw people start
Speaker 1: making a lot of money. They thought that was making
Speaker 1: a lot of money making music. So you got everybody
Speaker 1: and their mama want to wrap. Now it's the podcast thing.
Speaker 1: Everybody and their mama got a podcast. I'm seeing niggas
Speaker 1: with podcasts and don't have no business having the podcast
Speaker 1: because they hold premises just being missing. The whole thing
Speaker 1: is just to cause confusion and chaos, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So that's what it is. And it may
Speaker 1: not be no solution, man, But this whole thing with Kanye, man,
Speaker 1: I know, nori them for drink chance. They got a
Speaker 1: lot of flag. He got a lot of flag because
Speaker 1: you know homeboys, um dudes. Family is talking about suing him.
Speaker 1: Now they actually are. I think they are taking them
Speaker 1: a court George Floyd's George Floyd's family because you know,
Speaker 1: the whole thing about Kanye saying he didn't die from
Speaker 1: that that police officer didn't kill him. He died because
Speaker 1: he had fetting on him system. And see that's him
Speaker 1: listening to the candidates owns documentary. But no, that whit
Speaker 1: that that police officer killed that man. Everybody saw him.
Speaker 1: So Kanye was very ignorant for making that statement. Right
Speaker 1: for making that statement. So they go through the brakes
Speaker 1: off of them. They will get paid now hopefully. I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think it's fair to nory them get dragged
Speaker 1: into that because that man was just a guest on
Speaker 1: his show. I shouldn't be responsible for with somebody else
Speaker 1: saying if I messed around and say some crazy stuff
Speaker 1: not in the show, James, I don't think you should
Speaker 1: be able to come before that because I said, Well,
Speaker 1: they mad at Neury because Neury like too, took the
Speaker 1: show off his page, off off they show. Uh. He
Speaker 1: apologized for having Kanye only or some ship. So that's
Speaker 1: why I think people it's getting it getting the tuition
Speaker 1: because they said that he turned his back on Kanye.
Speaker 1: I don't believe he turned his back. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't pay attention to the ship. We save what
Speaker 1: we do or who we have as a guest, and
Speaker 1: you don't know where it's gonna come out of their mouth.
Speaker 1: But I think people need to when they do these podcasts,
Speaker 1: go back and look at certain ship and and be
Speaker 1: the judge of it before they put it out there.
Speaker 1: But they was live though, right, yeah, man, there was
Speaker 1: there was You know what the thing is, there was
Speaker 1: a pre recorded show. But you have to think about
Speaker 1: the whole premise of Drink Champions. The show they only
Speaker 1: are getting tank and talking ship. So I think when
Speaker 1: the drinks getting going, because you could be in the
Speaker 1: midst of a conversation change that it was true. I
Speaker 1: don't think Lord Norri was telling a lot. Necessarily. You
Speaker 1: can be here from there having a good time to
Speaker 1: get the talking, and you realize the next day you
Speaker 1: get come for the moment. Like, damn, he said all
Speaker 1: this right, he says, as I've done it before. I
Speaker 1: went back and listening to episodes and be like, damn,
Speaker 1: I don't even remember talking about all that. You feel
Speaker 1: what I'm saying for the most part. For the most part,
Speaker 1: I do think to a certain an extent though, that
Speaker 1: my man Noor he was trying to get himself up
Speaker 1: bout the situation. He's like, oh, he probably didn't amagine
Speaker 1: it would go this far, right, He probably didn't amazine
Speaker 1: to go this far, you know, So he's trying to
Speaker 1: save your face right now. You know, Hey, if I
Speaker 1: had people trying to assume me, maybe I'll be on
Speaker 1: this doing the same thing. It's hard to say what
Speaker 1: you would and wouldn't do in a siituation, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, But I knew I would have damn
Speaker 1: should have been on that scene. Hey, those are his
Speaker 1: views and his opinions. They didn't come out with my
Speaker 1: mouth father him about that, right right, hover had him
Speaker 1: about that. It's a crazy situation, man, is you know
Speaker 1: Kanye Don't said a lot of crazy ship when he
Speaker 1: was talking about running for president. You know, with Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: you know what you think about you know him and
Speaker 1: and multiple others out there wish that Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: still the president. I mean, we could be mad to
Speaker 1: say them niggas is crazy. But you know, I got
Speaker 1: a friend that really believed that Donald Trump did get
Speaker 1: more for us that Obama. That's your opinion, but I mean,
Speaker 1: you know him, shoot you yeah, shoot you so yeah.
Speaker 1: But but when he talked you, you know, I listened
Speaker 1: to him and then it's like, wow, you really believe
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, I'm not I'm not in
Speaker 1: the politics that way to really just say you're right
Speaker 1: or wrong. But you know, James, not to cut you off, bro,
Speaker 1: but did it really even right or wrong? Because truth,
Speaker 1: she has a right to have his opinion that far,
Speaker 1: just like I have a right, you know. And that's
Speaker 1: the thing. We should be able to disagree on some
Speaker 1: things and still be cool because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, to be honest with your change. Ain't none
Speaker 1: of them being then for us? Not a day I
Speaker 1: want to them. Don't get me wrong. I love Barack Obama,
Speaker 1: but he didn't do nothing. Every present think that's been
Speaker 1: in the office, every president has been in office. My
Speaker 1: life hasn't changed, not one bit. I don't care who've
Speaker 1: been in there. My life is still the same, same program,
Speaker 1: still run the same way. I have yet to go
Speaker 1: to my mailbox after succcess get elected and get it
Speaker 1: checked for a million dollars. Until that happened, all of
Speaker 1: them the same. Ain't none of them ship to me? Right?
Speaker 1: I was I happy to see Barack Obama get elected. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a very pivotal moment in America to see
Speaker 1: a brother get elected in office, him his black wife,
Speaker 1: and his black children. I thought that was a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing to see them race, you know, see them brace
Speaker 1: the White House, the walls of the ruins of the
Speaker 1: White House. I thought that was a beautiful thing. But
Speaker 1: as far as them doing something for us, no, because
Speaker 1: I don't think no president is in position to do nothing.
Speaker 1: And I think presidents take orders just like everybody else.
Speaker 1: You just just a figurehead. You just go figurehead. So
Speaker 1: do voting matter? Do you vote? Yes? I do, mhm,
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell you it does matter to a
Speaker 1: certain I think when you get to the level of
Speaker 1: the presidency, I think there's so many moving pieces around that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because one thing about it, we don't want to put
Speaker 1: the one thing we don't want to do. We don't
Speaker 1: want to put a psychopath in the White House, like
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want my keys that have to
Speaker 1: go off the war because we got a dictator in
Speaker 1: the White House now and he praised and we over
Speaker 1: there fighting Russia and everybody else in Afghanistan whoever else,
Speaker 1: because he don't lost his mind, right. So I think
Speaker 1: it's very important to vote. But our votes that matter
Speaker 1: the most though, the votes that matter the most of
Speaker 1: the local ones, Like we don't never go out and
Speaker 1: vote for who mayor or who are city council. We
Speaker 1: ignore all that maile when it comes. And I used
Speaker 1: to ignore it, but then I realized, I said, man, shoot,
Speaker 1: those are the people that that's affecting my day to
Speaker 1: day right there, because when they do a little sneaky
Speaker 1: stuff like sneak taxes in their own or raise certain
Speaker 1: fees and desire that they go do this and do that.
Speaker 1: That affects you, that that affects your bottom line personally.
Speaker 1: You know. It's just like when they snuck the old
Speaker 1: thing in there, the word we pay for bags. Now,
Speaker 1: even though there ain't number ten cent James, we voted
Speaker 1: to pay for something. We didn't have to pay for
Speaker 1: it for you understand what I mean. And they always
Speaker 1: do it under the guise of or we're doing this
Speaker 1: the same environment. This don't got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the damn environment. You're doing this because you want to
Speaker 1: tax something. It's just like when they raised cigarettes California
Speaker 1: tobacco presses of the highs of the country. If you
Speaker 1: smoke a pack of squares, how much of a pack
Speaker 1: of square is called? You? Now two dollars? Okay, you
Speaker 1: pay twelve dollars for a pack of cigarettes? How many
Speaker 1: packs of cigarettes smoke a week? I smoke a packet day,
Speaker 1: A little little under a packet day, so I think
Speaker 1: I buy four packs a week. So that's uh, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's damn the two hundred dollars a month, right,
Speaker 1: a little bit under two hundred dollars a month. Just
Speaker 1: image this. Someone smoke a pack of cigarettes every day,
Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying. Sometimes some people smoke two
Speaker 1: or three backs. There's really people don't there like that,
Speaker 1: you know. So the thing is now, now cigarettes are horrible.
Speaker 1: I think they do horrible things to your body. Has
Speaker 1: They've been proven to do bad stuff to you. But
Speaker 1: that is your choice, is a grown man. And if
Speaker 1: you want to smokenn so that's your choice. You feel
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, that is your choice. So so if
Speaker 1: you want to smoke cigarettes, chow the back or whatever
Speaker 1: you want to do. They're putting these taxes on because
Speaker 1: they're saying, oh, this is gonna discourage people. No, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you this, home boy, somebody has been smoking
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years. They ain't gonna stop smoking them.
Speaker 1: Because you don't raise the prices on them, you just
Speaker 1: hindering that person. Now you're taking more money from not
Speaker 1: because as hard as they helth with smoking cigarettes, well,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of people that they have quick you know,
Speaker 1: so it do throw the balance off of the money
Speaker 1: that they really would have made. But going from I
Speaker 1: remember serious was three dollars and something to eighty five,
Speaker 1: and and that's I was eighteen seventeen smoking cools m
Speaker 1: from the county jail from eighteen too to my age.
Speaker 1: Now I'm smoking camels. So some places camels are let's say,
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars, fourteen dollars and the lawds i've seen was twelve.
Speaker 1: So you know, they still make a lot of money.
Speaker 1: They still like make a lot of money knowing that
Speaker 1: they're not good for you. Why they don't van cigarettes
Speaker 1: in in in general period? And I really believe cigarettes
Speaker 1: are bad, but we gotta get off this country. We
Speaker 1: have a problem in America that where everybody wants to
Speaker 1: tell everybody else how to live based on what they believe.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying now, does that mean that
Speaker 1: we should go legalized cocaine? And look the people, you
Speaker 1: know they want to store the smoke, cracking and all
Speaker 1: they do so freely without no consequence. No, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that. But if you smoke cigarettes, if you
Speaker 1: drink liquor, if you smoke weed, ain't I'm talking about
Speaker 1: all the legal stuff right, If that's what you do,
Speaker 1: that's if you are of age of proper age. I'm
Speaker 1: against kids doing all that stuff, not right, But if
Speaker 1: you go over the proper legal age, you should be
Speaker 1: able to do what the hell you're going to. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. We have people in government and in life
Speaker 1: theory that want to put their issues off from everybody else,
Speaker 1: and they belief system. You seel what I'm saying. They
Speaker 1: want to tell people when we're gonna tax this because
Speaker 1: you're doing too much of this is like, that's why
Speaker 1: the federal government has happened all the way legalized marijuana
Speaker 1: yet because they've figured out a way for them to
Speaker 1: get somebody. That's what it's all about. They don't give
Speaker 1: a damn about your health, James, you can smoke. They're
Speaker 1: making money now, not from marijuana. All of these dispensaries
Speaker 1: and all that ship they're kicking in, so they found
Speaker 1: a way to make money off of it, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I'm gonna tell you, James, what
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out how to do, because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the price of marijuana has went down
Speaker 1: significantly because there's so much of it now right, so
Speaker 1: much that what may have cost one what may have
Speaker 1: cost at one time for some top tier killer, it
Speaker 1: may have been thirty five hundred pound before now you
Speaker 1: can go get that twelve hundred pounds maybe a thousand,
Speaker 1: maybe a thousand, So that knocks everything down. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you what they're doing. They are setting it up
Speaker 1: for them to be able to monetize it themselves the moment.
Speaker 1: Pretty soon, James, it's like you're gonna buy your pack
Speaker 1: of cigarettes of the store. You're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: go to the store pretty soon seven to eleven and
Speaker 1: you go see a pack of Philip Moore's up there,
Speaker 1: cool sativa indica. You know what I'm saying, um cookies.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna see all that in the store. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, James, you can look up there in seven eleven.
Speaker 1: Because they're gonna take this out the hands of a
Speaker 1: smaller man. They're gonna put it in the hands the clocks, right,
Speaker 1: and then that's when we really have to start warring,
Speaker 1: because they're gonna take some ship that came from the
Speaker 1: dirt and they're gonna start adding all kinds of other
Speaker 1: ship to it to make it to where you can't
Speaker 1: stop smoking about They're gonna make it do where you
Speaker 1: can't stop smoking because if you look at the strains
Speaker 1: of weed that they creating right now, James. It ain't
Speaker 1: like the weed that my daddy might have smoked. You
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. That weed from the sixties, there
Speaker 1: was just plain old grass. It's coming from the earth. Right.
Speaker 1: They are doing so much ship to this weed to
Speaker 1: try to give motherfucker's as high as they possibly can.
Speaker 1: They raised the THHC levels and this stuff as high
Speaker 1: as they possibly can, doing all kinds of stuff to us.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tell you it's gonna get worst. They
Speaker 1: gonna start adding all kind of ship to it, and
Speaker 1: motherfucker's will be coming up with cans from all kind
Speaker 1: of ship. Why seat, I tell you, bick go, Why see,
Speaker 1: I tell you this a whole bunch of man that's
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, they will have all kind of stuff
Speaker 1: going on with it, man, Because the thing is, they
Speaker 1: don't give a damn about our health. It's all about
Speaker 1: the dollar. The American government is all about the almighty
Speaker 1: dollar from the wedding taxes on everything. You think about it.
Speaker 1: When we go to the store, we pay taxes on
Speaker 1: things we purchased. Right, how many times when you go
Speaker 1: to the grocery store? How many times? And we can
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store twice. Okay, you go twice
Speaker 1: a week. You got a growing boy in the house
Speaker 1: to stay, probably eating up all the cereal and bringing
Speaker 1: up all that you so you stay at the go.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You got a little family
Speaker 1: over there, right, so we already pay taxes on that.
Speaker 1: You go to work for eight hours a day, pretty
Speaker 1: much eight of the morrows you work. You might well
Speaker 1: chopping up the three of them going straight to together
Speaker 1: because by the time you get finished paying for fighta
Speaker 1: So security on top of the taxes, and now remember
Speaker 1: social Security, we would never see James, we would never
Speaker 1: see opinion of social Security. I know for a fact,
Speaker 1: I'll put a lot of money into my stuff right
Speaker 1: just being you know, over the years, just being being
Speaker 1: in this stuff, right, being in and stuff. When I
Speaker 1: turned they raised the retirement age. It seemed like every year.
Speaker 1: I remember at one time the league of the age
Speaker 1: to retire and you can get social security was sixty
Speaker 1: years old. You know what it is now? My social
Speaker 1: set when I was seventy years old, damn there. So
Speaker 1: I remember at one time, Bro, I looked at my
Speaker 1: arm so I looked at my social Security thing. It
Speaker 1: said I couldn't retire when I was sixty eight years old.
Speaker 1: Who the hell wants to wait that late to stop working.
Speaker 1: It's not like they can give you the money. So
Speaker 1: it's like, all that money I'll put into the system,
Speaker 1: it's not like they got that money in the bank account.
Speaker 1: So we're waiting for me. So let's say I don't
Speaker 1: put over my whole life. Let's say I don't put
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars into the system. Right, It's not
Speaker 1: like when I turned six or seven, they're gonna send
Speaker 1: me a shake or give me a bank deposit of
Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand dollars. No, I don't work that way.
Speaker 1: They go spoon feeds you the money, and when you die,
Speaker 1: it's not like they keep giving the money somewhere. If
Speaker 1: that money go, it's a hustle dog. It's the best
Speaker 1: hustle ever devised dog. It's the greatest hustle every playing dog.
Speaker 1: Because you think about it, you retire, you retire. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's say you live for two or three years. Let's
Speaker 1: say you're lucky and you live two or three years.
Speaker 1: Let's say you live five years, you die. That's a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of money because they ain't paying nuber the
Speaker 1: couple they made you might get the thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 1: I believe some stuff like the eight hundred dollars a
Speaker 1: month which ain't really meant to leave off. So it's like,
Speaker 1: if that's what you're depending on for your retirement, you're
Speaker 1: in bad shape. You're a horrible shape. So by the
Speaker 1: time you retire and die, that money don't set up there.
Speaker 1: Just think about it. All of these people in this
Speaker 1: country don't pay to that. They and they talked about
Speaker 1: we don't have no money though, where's the money yet? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: And for all these taxes I paid off, for all
Speaker 1: these taxes, for all these different things that were forced
Speaker 1: to pay into, I don't benefit nothing off of that dog.
Speaker 1: Where do we benefit from him? America's designed this way, James,
Speaker 1: Either you the motherfucker disk go go out and build
Speaker 1: you a business and make your money. And if you
Speaker 1: can tuck a little bit to the side to where
Speaker 1: you could you know, you know how to work serving
Speaker 1: stuff to where you may not have to pay as
Speaker 1: many taxes. Snap Like you saw Donald Trump, They said
Speaker 1: that man paid five on the dollars and taxes. Dog
Speaker 1: one year. That was crazy. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: No he knew what the beat said. I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at that. I wish I knew where his tax
Speaker 1: man was. If he can get away with that, I
Speaker 1: want to do it too. But the thing he is broke,
Speaker 1: Jay got us set up for failure. Dog. It's almost
Speaker 1: like we set up for failure. It's almost like you
Speaker 1: are better off if you got you aside hustle dog
Speaker 1: to where you're doing something and you're making a nice
Speaker 1: little chunk of money from it and able to kind
Speaker 1: of get cash cash and carry gonna you gotta me
Speaker 1: you win it, right, But you better pay some taxes
Speaker 1: every year though, so they don't give him your asses.
Speaker 1: That's when you get caught. I would pay me, man,
Speaker 1: if I had a way to get away with stacking them.
Speaker 1: Even if I had a way of stacking the extra
Speaker 1: thirty forty every year, why I had to pay taxes
Speaker 1: on it, I would still pay some taxes on something.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't just not pay taxes. I would pay just
Speaker 1: enough to keep them off my ass. Not be suspicious
Speaker 1: of me, because you see that through motherfucker's in jail. Right.
Speaker 1: If you don't pay them. If you don't pay your
Speaker 1: tax billing, you don't take money. Yeah. So this whole world, man,
Speaker 1: pretty much it's founded on gangster principles. Dog, Gangster priscipals
Speaker 1: to me. But the motherfucker taking money from you when
Speaker 1: you can't do nothing about it. What they call that extortion? Yeah,
Speaker 1: called we're being extorted all legally, we're being extorted. Dog.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, if I hard called us,
Speaker 1: if I already hit us James and said, hey, we're
Speaker 1: giving y'all two million dollars the next season, I'll be
Speaker 1: happy as hell. But I'll say, James, Ship, don't get
Speaker 1: too happy. We only getting five thousand apiece and the
Speaker 1: government taking the rest of that ship. Oh you know
Speaker 1: by the time we split up there and we can
Speaker 1: have even less, you know what I mean, Ship, I
Speaker 1: forgot about eight, right, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be jacked up, dog. But
Speaker 1: the only thing we can do, man, I think the
Speaker 1: only thing we can do, Dog, is we need to
Speaker 1: get off this internet for a little bit, Dog and
Speaker 1: start really coming up with a master playing for ship
Speaker 1: the lives of black people, Dog, Because and and the
Speaker 1: way stuff feels now, James, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: one of them dudes talking about the young people dog
Speaker 1: because they are who they are and they either way,
Speaker 1: they are because of us, because of the predecessors. Right,
Speaker 1: m hmm. It's it's not really the young people. It's
Speaker 1: the young people that's listening, But it's the older people
Speaker 1: that's not showing the younger people. The older people are
Speaker 1: the ones just out here reckless. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: um Man, You know you can't point the finger at
Speaker 1: neither side because you know what what he said, what
Speaker 1: I say, what you say? People listening to it, Some
Speaker 1: key to it, some don't, Some don't want to hear.
Speaker 1: What what Norma James or this other person another person
Speaker 1: got to say. But a lot of other people tune
Speaker 1: into it. So it's not balanced. We're not balanced. Social
Speaker 1: media is not balanced. So as long as you have this,
Speaker 1: I truly believe that we were better off without social media.
Speaker 1: Now that you have it, everybody knows everybody, everybody knows
Speaker 1: in in everybody's business. Everybody can voice an opinion on
Speaker 1: this person and that person, and we are biased when
Speaker 1: it comes to certain individuals. You know, you know, I
Speaker 1: look at our Kelly said, you know, I look at
Speaker 1: a lot of ship that you know, this one person
Speaker 1: got thirty years, but this person beating it. You know
Speaker 1: what are we to say? Oh, it is difference because
Speaker 1: the circumstance as his word, and the same man working
Speaker 1: with a teenagers working with a teenager regardless? What what
Speaker 1: what could be different to be just different when you
Speaker 1: have the same fucking scenario? Man, is you know um
Speaker 1: child pornography? Oh he only got a year because he
Speaker 1: didn't show this. If you take a picture of a
Speaker 1: boy with his shirt off a girl with a shirt
Speaker 1: off and they're under age, it's what's the fucking difference?
Speaker 1: So you know what you no, I believe. I tried
Speaker 1: my best not to get into it like that because
Speaker 1: if you know, sometimes our opinions don't matter. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is it ain't it ain't just race. It ain't
Speaker 1: just race that play a part in our ship as
Speaker 1: black people. You know, everything is against us and then
Speaker 1: we're against ourselves. So it makes it one thirty. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, This ship ain't fifty fifty. We
Speaker 1: gotta fight everybody else to get where we want to go.
Speaker 1: Now we don't fight our motherfucker itself to get halfwhere
Speaker 1: where we want to go. Because what black people understand
Speaker 1: is let me get it while I get it. It's
Speaker 1: right here. Let me get it and fuck him, fuck him,
Speaker 1: fuck her and fuck this. Then you got some women
Speaker 1: I'm gonna suck my way to the top of I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this to get here, and I don't give
Speaker 1: a damn about the next black motherfucker that get it.
Speaker 1: And then some of them don't want to see the
Speaker 1: friend that that that other person get it like that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, man, the hoys are
Speaker 1: just against black people in general, man, because we put
Speaker 1: ourselves in a situation to to to you know, man,
Speaker 1: it's it's so crazy, so you gotta learn how to
Speaker 1: just you know. To me, it's basically it is what
Speaker 1: it is. And then when we get older, like myself,
Speaker 1: we sit back and you know, you'll be like, damn,
Speaker 1: now I see the difference in in life and living.
Speaker 1: How hard it is to live. Man, I go to
Speaker 1: the fucking market, I get a half a basket of ship,
Speaker 1: no him, and it's two That's what I'm saying. Dog.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes in this country, dog. I remember I
Speaker 1: went to the gas station the other day, right, and
Speaker 1: I left my own I left my debit card at
Speaker 1: the house. You know, in my pocket, I have my wallet,
Speaker 1: but I have my Definit cards and all I have
Speaker 1: was twenty bucks there. And I was dropping my daughter
Speaker 1: off somewhere, so I said, you know what, I'm fump
Speaker 1: this twenty and I can pump games and not come back.

Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Now you gotta mean, and
Speaker 1: it's like this. I filled up. I filled up a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, though, and it was damn the three
Speaker 1: like a couple of dollars. Dogins you changed. Hey, it
Speaker 1: ain't worth just riding around for nothing, because you're gonna
Speaker 1: put gas, like going to l A and back here.
Speaker 1: You you start off on the full tank and then
Speaker 1: when you get back you're down there the half you
Speaker 1: keep going. Yeah, so yeah, everything is changing, man, and
Speaker 1: the and the coast of living is It's ridiculous, bro,
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. You know, electric Waterville. Man, I had a
Speaker 1: motherfucking Waterville last one one dollars. I went to the
Speaker 1: water company, cut of these mother clubs out, telling them
Speaker 1: there's only two motherfucker's in this house. But what one
Speaker 1: of the ladies was trying to explain to me that
Speaker 1: they even raised the the usage how much it is
Speaker 1: for the usage of water. Now you know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying out here, ain't number fucking rocks, ain't got no
Speaker 1: swimming pool in the back, but they've raised the ship
Speaker 1: up so high you you basically pay double down their
Speaker 1: triple in your lecture and your utilities. So they're making
Speaker 1: it's so motherfucking so hard for people and everybody dealing
Speaker 1: with it. It ain't just black people, but everybody got
Speaker 1: everybody dealing with it. Yeah, and I'm talking about it
Speaker 1: ain't no more middle class because it used to be
Speaker 1: the way you had a certain segment of the country.
Speaker 1: It used to be not a certain segment of the country.
Speaker 1: You made a certain amount of money. And he was
Speaker 1: considered straight. I remember when I was coming out of college,

Speaker 1: need to grow. They are so they out to you, Groom,
Speaker 1: don't make these guys. These guys know what to do now.
Speaker 1: After Harvey Weinstein became kind of change in Kenned space,

Speaker 1: human traffic. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, for so man,
Speaker 1: for so, for so man. Well, I don't think you could.

Speaker 1: need someone to take it to the value to make
Speaker 1: a point. No more. She's just in the camera. She
Speaker 1: got her own, She's soliciting herself now on this camera.

Speaker 1: listening to what he's saying, and basically, you don't have
Speaker 1: to be solicit to to do certain ships or be
Speaker 1: a part of certain ship. They're coming in with that
Speaker 1: mindset already. I mean, it's that crazy that people already
Speaker 1: know that this is what it's gonna take for me
Speaker 1: to get to the top or to be a part
Speaker 1: of a certain kind of you know, group in the
Speaker 1: in the business, regardless of what business that is. They
