Speaker 2: feel like you don't get enough respect when it comes
Speaker 2: to just your influence.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I feel like you and Draco had that in common
Speaker 2: in terms of just like just the influence on like
Speaker 2: a whole entire generation of what we consider hip hop.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, just whether it's La shit
Speaker 2: or not. Man. So it's it's good to see you, man. Welcome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just on some updated La shit. Like let's

Speaker 1: in Atlanta, partners in New York partners and Memphis partners.
Speaker 1: Like it's really like the whole world is on they
Speaker 1: fashion shit now. It's not like when like you had
Speaker 1: to look at certain states that had big Tea's and
Speaker 1: certain states that ware the Khaki's, Like everybody's wearing Balenciaga
Speaker 1: and shit, and they've been doing that shit in La.
Speaker 1: We want to speak for that. We want to speak
Speaker 1: for the Flockers, We want to speak for like the
Speaker 1: other pieces of the culture frem here, whether we was
Speaker 1: doing it or not, was not what we were trying
Speaker 1: to put We were just putting a soundtrack to people
Speaker 1: who had to do that to get out. They live,
Speaker 1: the Flockers, the Chrappers, the whole It was just all
Speaker 1: three of us.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say Shortline too. Shortline had a lot
Speaker 2: a lot of influence as well, So I got to
Speaker 2: give them props because I feel like it was kind
Speaker 2: of at the same time, y'all all kind of getting it.
Speaker 1: That was our family. Drummers, think Mafia drummer, Stinky Beaches,
Speaker 1: that was our family. Draco Crawled. Just that. Yeah, That's
Speaker 1: how it was though, And we was all just on
Speaker 1: something like this a new wave, even though Gez like shit,
Speaker 1: Oh Jez showed a new culture. I feel like for
Speaker 1: Hispanics from Los Angeles, even though there is a lot
Speaker 1: of new artists that's Hispanic, that's art too. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying at the time, people didn't know like there was
Speaker 1: people that was living like he was living or dressing like.
Speaker 2: That's what I tell o, Jiz. I'm like you kind
Speaker 2: of because I'm from Arizona, so I'm very well aware
Speaker 2: of like Chicano rap and a lot like a lot
Speaker 2: of the Mexican rap history. I'm like, oh, Jez, you
Speaker 2: kind of show people like you don't have to make
Speaker 2: that like stereotypical.
Speaker 1: Not even just that that was like really who he was,
Speaker 1: like you know for sure, Uh he was really like
Speaker 1: we didn't dress him in what he was dressed in.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He was coming with them
Speaker 1: CDG air forces and shitting spilling lean all over him
Speaker 1: or just the way that he was doing shit was like, damn,
Speaker 1: this nigga is hella creative? So I really took it
Speaker 1: like an old j Z early what an individual time
Speaker 1: with every member.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, do you remember how old you
Speaker 2: were or how old o Jiz was when you guys
Speaker 2: initially met, because I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, he was a baby, all them niggas babies.
Speaker 1: I'm the big broo all of them nigga's babies. I'll
Speaker 1: talk to him the other day and he told me
Speaker 1: he was turning. I don't know if he told anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck my little kid, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I'm like, oh shit. But I
Speaker 1: had a personal time with every member of uh Shoreline.
Speaker 1: I can't say every member Sting Team because it's a million,
Speaker 1: but a lot of Uh. Me and Ralphie probably have
Speaker 1: more songs from back then than me and Draco doing.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of songs to Ralphie.
Speaker 2: He was just up here, even with.
Speaker 1: Catchy the Great like that was one of my co
Speaker 1: stars and he was Stink Team. So that was just
Speaker 1: a fun ass time. It was heartbreaking so much stuff
Speaker 1: that came behind it because it was like our shit
Speaker 1: broke up when we didn't even break up, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It was just like you go away, you gotta go
Speaker 2: sit down. Obviously, Shortline kind of goes their separate ways.
Speaker 2: You know, rest in peace to Draco, resting piece to
Speaker 2: Catchy It just like you.
Speaker 1: Said, long live. You know what I'm saying, We ain't right.
Speaker 1: We were going off there, we ain't We ain't getting
Speaker 1: no rest long live.
Speaker 2: I just say for you, you're being locked You're being
Speaker 2: locked up when Draco passes. That had to be a
Speaker 2: hard thing to deal with from you know, behind bars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't really rocked with the phone for a
Speaker 1: while after that, you know what I'm saying, I didn't
Speaker 1: really just knowing my background and the type of individuals
Speaker 1: I come up around, like, I know that nobody got
Speaker 1: no filter, and I didn't really want to hear it, uh,
Speaker 1: no opinions or anything more than what I was already
Speaker 1: hearing because the stories were sounding crazy and just wrapping
Speaker 1: my mind around everything because I had just lost Dolph.
Speaker 1: I think that was just a few weeks before.
Speaker 2: Get Doll passed away in November, uh, and then Draco
Speaker 2: passed away in December.
Speaker 1: And it's different when it's people that you don't spend
Speaker 1: time with or shook hands with, or vibes with or anything,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Or Yeah, Dolph was a close friend of my Dolph
Speaker 2: was a great guy.
Speaker 1: The last what, I woke up in a mansion where
Speaker 1: I was with a little Pump and Oozy and Smoke
Speaker 1: Purp and Dub and we was in there and we
Speaker 1: was recording and chilling and shit, and I missed my
Speaker 1: flight to go to Texas. So I caught the first
Speaker 1: one in the morning, and the last people that I talked
Speaker 1: to on the phone was Nipsey and Dolph or getting.
Speaker 2: On the plane before you turn yourself in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it was just like crazy, you know, like
Speaker 1: the people that were rooting for me or you know whatever,
Speaker 1: collaborate with me or whatever the case is, whatever our
Speaker 1: relationship was, it was just crazy to just somebody that
Speaker 1: you used to just shake hands with. Okay, out of
Speaker 1: all the bunch, this is what's going on. And then
Speaker 1: it started to feel like back to back with pmb rock. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it let alone like homies from my ghetto or like yeah,
Speaker 1: there was just so many things back to back or
Speaker 1: childhood friends or just family members off COVID. So I
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, when the Draco shit came,
Speaker 1: it was towards the end as well as the takeoff
Speaker 1: in pm.
Speaker 2: B Rock, and it was just like you know, I'm
Speaker 2: just my phone away man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Just if it wasn't
Speaker 1: taking care of business, I wasn't really getting on the.
Speaker 2: Phone, right, I can't blame you. Man. What was the
Speaker 2: conversation with Nip and Dolph, Like before you turn yourself in.
Speaker 1: Nip first thing was just like, don't worry about it
Speaker 1: because even though you're gonna be gone, you left such
Speaker 1: an impact on the city. It's gonna go. It's gonna
Speaker 1: keep going. Everybody love you. Greeto. Like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm calling you as a brother. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's just you know, giving me that
Speaker 1: pep talk before I went out to the ring. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Just that always was, you know,
Speaker 1: the coach. You know what I'm saying. That always was.
Speaker 1: I mean we did a few songs, we did some songs,
Speaker 1: but our relationship was just kind of like just I
Speaker 1: don't know, just like yeah, Nigga, like he was so
Speaker 1: excited for me. He would call me when I go
Speaker 1: to New York for the first time or go to
Speaker 1: Double Xcay or wherever I'm going, and it'd just be like, yeah, nigga. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just this is yeah, this is what you're supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing. And just like I'll be telling people like
Speaker 1: when I saw Kobe's funeral and Jordan was talking about
Speaker 1: when Kobe hit him anytime in the night, Hey should
Speaker 1: I shoot like this? Should I do? Like that? That's
Speaker 1: who Nipsey was for me, Like most rappers, we operate
Speaker 1: like in the wee hours of the night anyway. But
Speaker 1: just that pep talk and the same with Dolph, just
Speaker 1: the same old you know what I'm saying, you good,
Speaker 1: You're gonna bounce back.
Speaker 2: Dolph was a great guy man, of course. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it's just I feel like it's crazy to
Speaker 2: think like Leo's man, because you got locked up? Was
Speaker 2: it twenty eighteen? Uh huh yeah, And just to think
Speaker 2: like how the like all the people.
Speaker 1: Bug got locked up. I turned myself in. That was crucial.
Speaker 1: And I had to turn myself in on a plane
Speaker 1: run what the fuck?
Speaker 2: Crazy?
Speaker 1: Ooh, I didn't want to go. Already missed the flight
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting here in this mansion with Oozzi and
Speaker 1: all these niggas. I'm like, man, I'm won't wrap. I
Speaker 1: ain't going no right catch me if you can, I'd
Speaker 1: have did it before. Fuck this, But I was like, man,
Speaker 1: let me take care of this, because if it turns
Speaker 1: out worse, you won't be talking to me today. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I won't be selling out the
Speaker 1: Novo two nights in the row and going on the road.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. That my pocaing Okay, it
Speaker 1: was just looking like something.
Speaker 2: Well you were prepared for, you know, because you were
Speaker 2: supposed like like your settence originally you were supposed to
Speaker 2: be going for about ten years, right.
Speaker 1: Twenty still got twenty years. Right now, I'm on pro
Speaker 1: I'm on parole, but they paros like you still got
Speaker 1: to do the rest of your time. So I get
Speaker 1: off parole in twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 2: So period, but you're free, You're able to come. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just be on your piece and Q. So I was
Speaker 2: gonna say, like I remember talking to TK about just
Speaker 2: the amount of music that was just.
Speaker 1: I got that from Lil Wayne when he was finna
Speaker 1: go to jail, right, I got that for show from
Speaker 1: Lou Wayne because you.
Speaker 2: Were I had heard stories that you were doing the
Speaker 2: records and then shooting like back to back to back
Speaker 2: to back music videos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still hell of unreleased videos. I have released
Speaker 1: the video to Substance way later, and then it took
Speaker 1: off on TikTok. I have I paid whoever was in
Speaker 1: charge of that. I guess I was doing so much
Speaker 1: at the time. They never paid the director. And then
Speaker 1: when I when I found out, I shot on the
Speaker 1: bread and then we released it and then TikTok took it.
Speaker 2: Hey, TikTok wasn't a thing when you when you was, I.
Speaker 1: Never heard of it.
Speaker 2: There's a sting where you just it just shows you
Speaker 2: everything you like non stop.
Speaker 1: I saw at one point the Substance challenge was like
Speaker 1: them showing their teeth. Yeah, like, if this is what's
Speaker 1: bringing the platinum Placus showed them, motherfuckers. I'm with it,
Speaker 1: fucking whatever the challenge is, do that shit. I love it.
Speaker 2: Do you remember or have an idea of the amount
Speaker 2: of records that you cut in case you did have to?
Speaker 1: Well, already I ain't gonna lie to you. I already
Speaker 1: recorded like Hella songs every day of my life any
Speaker 1: chance that I got, even when I lived in the trap,
Speaker 1: in the powerhood, in the Campanella Park, Bribhood, Bro, I'm
Speaker 1: just recording, recording, recording, recording, recording, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like I always wanted to be like Lil Wayne
Speaker 1: or like at the time, like it was some Gucci
Speaker 1: shit going crazy. Gez and the Gucci Gangster Girls just
Speaker 1: blew my mind. Just at the time, we were so
Speaker 1: into it. It was like watching wrestling or something goddamn.
Speaker 1: Like we was with into every character. We're like, what's
Speaker 1: drama doing with Gucci man? Then he all on the background,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Gucci has been inducted, abducted. We're like,
Speaker 1: oh shit. And at the time I didn't even I
Speaker 1: wasn't the hugest Gucci fan, but I had just got
Speaker 1: out of gym. My cousin played me that shit and
Speaker 1: it was just like this nigga that need balled into
Speaker 1: a superhuman. This is around the time when photos Shooting
Speaker 1: I'm a Star came out, This when Gucci the movie
Speaker 1: and Burtprint three D came out with DJ Drama, and
Speaker 1: I was just like, what the fuck, Like I want
Speaker 1: to have my fans in doge like that. That's why
Speaker 1: it was so important to hurry up and drop. When
Speaker 1: I came home before I dropped like a real tape
Speaker 1: that was just the shit we could clear.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy too because your output is at
Speaker 2: such a high level. Like I think Gucci's album that
Speaker 2: he dropped either earlier this year or late last year,
Speaker 2: had like seventy songs. You just dropped the thirty three
Speaker 2: song project. You know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1: Gucci can't be fucked with the Gucci Future. Lil Wayne
Speaker 1: and I say, Boosie, that's like my mixtape mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1: That's like, if you really pay attention, that's really what
Speaker 1: all my shit is. And then when I heard Thug
Speaker 1: later on, that's what kind of like helped me play
Speaker 1: with my voice more and shit like really being a
Speaker 1: big feeling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Thug did a good job of I always say,
Speaker 2: using his voice as like an instrument kind of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cause I've been on that, but I just was
Speaker 1: like kind of like not going all the way full
Speaker 1: fledged like pop start with it because of where I
Speaker 1: was from and who I was around. Because a song
Speaker 1: like Substance, Yeah, it's like I slipped like the Gang's
Speaker 1: lyrics in it, but the whole setup of that song
Speaker 1: is like this shit really like not even something you
Speaker 1: would think of black nigga would make you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And that's why that shit is so timeless
Speaker 1: and shit like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you you pride yourself on not necessarily. I saw
Speaker 2: you correct somebody in terms of like not making quote
Speaker 2: unquote West Coast.
Speaker 1: Rapause that's a genre. That's a genre a record store
Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see West Coast. That's a genre. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm not the genre that was like some characters for
Speaker 1: that time. We all characters, so I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: to take nothing from it. But those people were from
Speaker 1: places that aren't even close to where I'm from, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They're not even from the state
Speaker 1: that I'm from, but a lot of them not even
Speaker 1: just like at the end of the day, I'm telling
Speaker 1: the story of you know, going up Wilmington to going
Speaker 1: down roads Crans, I'm going from Wise Compton and Guardena
Speaker 1: like the regions that I really know. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: painting that picture, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: just try to show people like you know, the reason
Speaker 1: I don't jump on that is because I'm a real
Speaker 1: trap nigga too. You know what I'm saying, I'm a
Speaker 1: real out of town nigga too. I'm a real you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I still be with my people
Speaker 1: from other states. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Well, you described your last day before turning yourself in
Speaker 2: as to me a perfect example of what you were
Speaker 2: able to help do, and that was ridge a whole
Speaker 2: world of like you mentioned Pumpin' Uzy, right and shout
Speaker 2: out to Desto Dubb who actually helped a lot of
Speaker 2: this is too, but just there's like a whole generation
Speaker 2: of kids that were looking for like an artist like yourself,
Speaker 2: like Drac or like Shoreline to kind of like not
Speaker 2: necessarily you know, like you said.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like six or seven artists that's out
Speaker 1: right now. I won't I won't just say their name
Speaker 1: in case it makes it. I don't want to make
Speaker 1: it seem like it's a flex on the right. But
Speaker 1: they'll give me my you know, respect on that shit
Speaker 1: of me like opening up a door where artists could
Speaker 1: be different, or you could be more melodic, but you
Speaker 1: could talk about what you want to talk about, or
Speaker 1: like even like the producer, there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: that make their own beats. Too, or people that just
Speaker 1: only make beats. I inspired producers just like producing never bend,
Speaker 1: or you know what I'm saying, just like some of
Speaker 1: my bigger songs, Sweet lady, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: or people you know what I'm saying, just seeing like
Speaker 1: those are real people into songs. Shit, I just let
Speaker 1: people say, you know, tell your own story. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, be yourself if you like whatever you like,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: While you're locked up versus pops off and I've been
Speaker 2: saying this. You and r J did the first verses ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember the individual I did it with.
Speaker 1: I remember I thought of that idea and it was jumping.
Speaker 2: I remember me and DJ Head were like.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's always a touchy situation. I don't
Speaker 1: want to answer nothing to make it feel like we
Speaker 1: restarting on disrespect.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm not even talking about that specific situation.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like it's just kind of crazy to think, like.
Speaker 1: I just trying to stay talking about me.
Speaker 2: That was a very successful, peaceful event that you know,
Speaker 2: we always meet me and had always talking. We're like,
Speaker 2: but that low key was the first verses that ever happened,
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I missed out.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't do any paperwork too, because that
Speaker 2: was the note I created that Novo and you guys
Speaker 2: did it in Orange County, right, Yeah, I didn't do
Speaker 2: no paperwork to say that I created that. And then.
Speaker 1: I was telling uh Picasso, like, hey, man, I probably
Speaker 1: should trademark this because ain't nobody never did this. He
Speaker 1: was like, well, it kind of with Drake versus little
Speaker 1: way I guess a editory yeah, where they said up
Speaker 1: like that, Like but they from the same team. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: this is like something that could even turn into violence,
Speaker 1: and I and I I would probably just rather get
Speaker 1: the credit for doing something positive just saying that I
Speaker 1: was the first to create that because I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I mean the concept is similar, but no.
Speaker 2: But it was it was dope to see that positive
Speaker 2: outcome of that because you know what ended up happening.
Speaker 2: But I just thought I just thought it was d Like, again,
Speaker 2: you're an innovator, man, So.
Speaker 1: I wish I did do some paperworking out with making
Speaker 1: some money. For sure, I didn't. I missed out on that,
Speaker 1: how crazy.
Speaker 2: Was it dealing with COVID while being incarcerated.
Speaker 1: Having COVID while incarcerated was horrible? And then I feel
Speaker 1: like I still don't breathe the same as shit.
Speaker 2: So you had it? Could you taste? Could you smell it?
Speaker 1: Tastes smell? I'm greedy. I'm gonna still taste that food.
Speaker 1: I gotta seat. But my body was feeling like I
Speaker 1: got hit with like some some heavious bitch, like I
Speaker 1: got into an accident or something. I was like, god damn.
Speaker 1: And I was one of the COVID doubt It's like,
Speaker 1: that's not no real shit. And then you got y'all
Speaker 1: out there going through weird shit. Yeah, they're telling me
Speaker 1: it's like a ghost town. I'm like, that's what y'all get.
Speaker 1: I'm out here in the ghost town.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Everybody was kind of and especially La. I'm sure
Speaker 2: you heard. La was crazy. There was no traffic, which
Speaker 2: is like you could get to wherever.
Speaker 1: You wanted, where police was at I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, bro. There was zero traffic. You could
Speaker 2: get to like Orange County in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: I've been I would have been flying to that ass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was crazy. Bro like and then the homeless
Speaker 2: ship just blew up, like I don't know if I
Speaker 2: mean there was always homeless ship, you know, obviously, but
Speaker 2: now it's like wherever you're at, oh yeah, it's them
Speaker 2: encampments is turning up in La, man, it's.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you'd be in a nice area sometimes.
Speaker 2: Like Venice Beach during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I don't never be in La like that no more.
Speaker 1: It's just I like experiencing life, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I like to see new things. I didne did La.
Speaker 1: Of course, I understand what comes with being like one
Speaker 1: of the first people living his life from you know,
Speaker 1: any of the areas I came up in, Yep, So
Speaker 1: I walked like, I don't really come to LA. I
Speaker 1: know where I'm at, I know what I'm what it's about.
Speaker 2: It's also like, why put yourself in a way if
Speaker 2: you don't got to be It's like anything that you
Speaker 2: could do as a rapper you've seen and done, like
Speaker 2: you only got to do the necessary shit, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That's I think that's where people like unfortunately,
Speaker 2: like you know, when we hear about stuff happening to
Speaker 2: the artists, when they come to La. It's like, but
Speaker 2: you were probably moving around. You know, a little for you.
Speaker 1: Was that you should have just been in your being
Speaker 1: be here, Like why are you going away Meilroad?
Speaker 2: Where you want that fifty dollars tech on? You know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like yeah, yeah, so you know.
Speaker 1: This ain't no place where they gonna like they respect
Speaker 1: a certain person, a certain type of person people do anything.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, speak to the correlation, because you and Draco
Speaker 2: were and even the you know OJZ and those guys
Speaker 2: heavily tied in with the Detroit guys early too. I
Speaker 2: think I want to say, like some of the earliest
Speaker 2: pas I ever heard was through y'all. So like, give
Speaker 2: me the what is it about Detroit and the West
Speaker 2: Coast that they feel like country cousins? You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the West Coast, I know about
Speaker 1: like the.
Speaker 2: Bay and then like you guys.
Speaker 1: I know I know where I'm from. Its just like
Speaker 1: you know, similar mentality, similar, like dress code similar, kind
Speaker 1: of not accents because it's different, but it's almost like similar. Similar.
Speaker 1: A lot of people kind of get the young artists
Speaker 1: get their flow, like being influenced by Detroit artists. I'm
Speaker 1: doing the whole table with hell of a A lot
Speaker 1: of it sounds like, you know, that old mob music,
Speaker 1: like before they did the hypeie shit, like that old
Speaker 1: Eave forty shit and shit, and he's like, yeah, they
Speaker 1: I used to jam nothing but that. So it's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's always been certain places that fuck with
Speaker 1: California too, because even when I was in Texas, Houston
Speaker 1: always be like, yeah, we being fucking with Y'ALLU with
Speaker 1: y'all heavy right just on the street level. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I guess we just chock
Speaker 1: with each other. We like how each other right.
Speaker 2: Out of all those songs you recorded before you went in,
Speaker 2: are you just like, are we still putting those out?
Speaker 2: Or now that you're out, are you trying to like fresh.

Speaker 1: Nobody coming at me with that shit, man, right, I

Speaker 1: a real artist, Like I take this to heart, Like
Speaker 1: I was just talking to double about some the way
Speaker 1: I was looking at something. So it's creatively. People don't
Speaker 1: know how much I put into like my album covers

Speaker 1: videos they drop since I've been out. I had to
Speaker 1: cuss everybody out, like I need to start directing my
Speaker 1: own shit because it's like, y'all hear the lyrics, how
Speaker 1: y'all hear it and interpret howt y'all, But that's not

Speaker 1: oh No, I just be big on representing who I
Speaker 1: am as an artist, like standing up for this shit,
Speaker 1: like really, like I got this street story in this
Speaker 1: street respect or whatever. But I'm still like a for
Speaker 1: real kid, the Kanye kid, a Virgil kid, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I'm trying to leave a stamp,
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to stay in the world with like
Speaker 1: a cold trail. You know what I'm saying, something that
Speaker 1: ain't just normal, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think, like if you think I mean,
Speaker 2: I always say this, Like if you think about the
Speaker 2: guys who are I call them like forever guys, Like
Speaker 2: there's a certain amount of attention to detail all those
Speaker 2: guys have, you know, whether it's Drake, whether it's Cold,
Speaker 2: whether it's Kendrick, Like the attention to detail that every
Speaker 2: little thing is like very high. You know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 2: and they're also very heavily influenced I think with like
Speaker 2: you said, the artwork, a lot of guys will just
Speaker 2: drop a just pay some dude online.
Speaker 1: People gotta realize it ain't nothing more for ever than
Speaker 1: music or a moment that involves music. Like that's why
Speaker 1: you remember certain moments, you know what I'm saying. Certain
Speaker 1: like songs might sample something from your past and you'll
Speaker 1: remember exactly what you was doing at that time.
Speaker 2: You feel me, what's your earliest hip hop memory and the.
Speaker 1: Future in your friend? When my uncle had like a
Speaker 1: pull out radio and I'm so lame, I'm like, let
Speaker 1: me hold that motherfucker. I just want to hold it, man,
Speaker 1: Like I got this big ass radio, but just hearing
Speaker 1: ain't a future in your friend like that beat over
Speaker 1: and over. I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: That's MC breathe right, Yeah, got to Florid a.
Speaker 1: Key though all that shit. So that shit was just like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this? I used to be in
Speaker 1: love with that little sound. It is in that dope man,
Speaker 1: dope man, this in that shit too, you know that
Speaker 1: little sound, that little.
Speaker 2: Did your uncle have a CD book with some heat
Speaker 2: in it? Or was it a tape deck or what
Speaker 2: was it both?
Speaker 1: I see both of them. Levels.
Speaker 2: I always had like the older cousin who had like
Speaker 2: the fat CD book I couldn't afford to have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there used to be the thing, especially niggas that
Speaker 1: had like tie holes and ship.
Speaker 2: Back in the day, ye had that CD book. You
Speaker 2: had a seven disc changer.
Speaker 1: Hold on, guys, that used to be the ship in California,
Speaker 1: like a two door ton or something. Man beat it out.
Speaker 1: Nothing like when your city book.
Speaker 2: Would get stolen too. It goes on or they just
Speaker 2: take something out of it.
Speaker 1: You got you got certain albums behind certain albums and
Speaker 1: ship like I got you on some old niggas Ship
Speaker 1: that wasn't me though, that was like some older niggas house.

Speaker 1: And you know it was hard about CDs. You know
Speaker 1: who was hard? How Outcasts or Rick Ross? Like always
Speaker 1: every disc.
Speaker 2: With Outcasts, all the discs were naked women.
Speaker 1: Naked bit with like colors and ship, and then Rick
Speaker 1: Ross had a different color of him with the beer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every that's I think that's one thing that we're missing. Like,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you can still go buy vinyls and stuff,
Speaker 2: but like just to like, like you said, attention to detail.
Speaker 2: Like outcasts, they always had some fly ship on their discs.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I wish I could have been in that
Speaker 1: area to make some crazy like some sort of theme.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you or you might put them all together and
Speaker 1: it shows like.
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. No, I still think about like okay,
Speaker 2: like I just think about Snoop Dogg's Doggie style that

Speaker 1: serious like as far as like how to get it.

Speaker 1: be like a sampler. It'd be like snipping. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: could you be the first nigga with this.

Speaker 1: we've been nice. Let's let's be who we really are,
Speaker 1: you know, the German's Team Mafia. You know what we
Speaker 1: did and what we helped the city get off their chest. Now,
Speaker 1: there was other people that was living like we was living.
Speaker 1: They just wasn't mainstream rappers at the time, and we're
Speaker 1: the ones that did it. So it may be other
Speaker 1: people that was on the same topics too, but that's
Speaker 1: what we we do it for. Like upgrade the music
Speaker 1: up the way up, upgrade the way your niggas dress stop,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Not saying all your niggas
Speaker 1: be on it, but like nigga, I know I had
Speaker 1: created a certain lane, and I saw some people kind
Speaker 1: of like have a similar lane or even go with
Speaker 1: what they learned from me. Whether they did or not,
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying, but to see so many
Speaker 1: people that went backwards, it's like, damn what you think
Speaker 1: I did it for? I did that for all of us.
Speaker 1: You feel me. There's a reason I get features with
Speaker 1: niggas that the city don't usually get it with. There's
Speaker 1: a reason they might be a nigga that everybody ain't
Speaker 1: even heard of out here, but I know the streets
Speaker 1: is playing this, you know what I'm saying. So upgrade
