Speaker 1: all of them. These guys go out and party and drinking.
Speaker 1: One rule I loved about this, that the celebrity of

Speaker 1: to do right. So for me, I'm gonna make you
Speaker 1: run four four quarters. So you didn't go by the game.
Speaker 1: You want the MVP. Yeah, but that was our strategy
Speaker 1: from the beginning. We said, all we gotta do is
Speaker 1: keep the artist in the game. They can't won't, they

Speaker 1: Did you play sports growing up? Y'all? Played basketball? I
Speaker 1: tried football bigger you wanted about you tried it. You
Speaker 1: tried it? You big too? Which what happened? You get mad?
Speaker 1: You want to come and play football? Now you gotta

Speaker 1: Man to man, like dude, be being bad at you?
Speaker 1: Was raining the three have supposed to be putting this folkball.
Speaker 1: He rain is putting it, putting the ball back and
Speaker 1: you down. So you played you played basketball when you're
Speaker 1: good at it? I was great at it. My problem
Speaker 1: My problem was my attitude. It showed me, man, Basketball
Speaker 1: showed me that, uh, your team is everything. You was
Speaker 1: nothing so and I was just a ball. I was
Speaker 1: just a missing though. I felt like I ain't have
Speaker 1: to practice. I feel like I ain't have to do suicide.
Speaker 1: I was un organized, right, So by me felling to
Speaker 1: make it to the NBA, I feel like it showed
Speaker 1: me and I opened that people around you is everything.
Speaker 1: So that was your goal growing up? You you played basketball,
Speaker 1: you feel like you had the skills to make it
Speaker 1: to the next level. Oh, definitely. I wanted out of basketball.
Speaker 1: What I wanted to be was an astronaut, a basketball player,
Speaker 1: or just get money. Well, you got the money, so
Speaker 1: I guess be at the BACKMA, I don't got the
Speaker 1: money yet. You got some money, but you want more money.
Speaker 1: I ain't got no money. That's the cold part. I
Speaker 1: need some money, man, Go ahead, old man. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: So when you were growing up, what you wanted to
Speaker 1: be an astronaut, you wanted to be a basketball player.
Speaker 1: But what was your fallback playing if none of those
Speaker 1: things happened? The streets? The streets, Yeah, so you wanted
Speaker 1: to slang. I ain't want to slang the streets. So
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with the street. Get some money.
Speaker 1: How you get money? Send a mix tape? Hey was
Speaker 1: it caused? Hey straight? Hey the streets. You ain't need
Speaker 1: no application, no degree. It just needed be lawless man.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm missed basketball. I sucked up, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like you didn't through coffee
Speaker 1: to the way, you ain't even really ca after that,
Speaker 1: I never believe I could go to college. That wasn't
Speaker 1: even a thought in my head. Like I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: road streets, there's no I be growing up. It's not
Speaker 1: how black you know what we call black kids in
Speaker 1: our neighborhoods today. We didn't have real estate agents. We
Speaker 1: didn't have none of that. We didn't have no entrepreneurship.
Speaker 1: That shi was unheard of. So in your neighborhood, you
Speaker 1: didn't have anybody to despire to you. So you saw
Speaker 1: the people in the streets. So that's what you're inspired. Now.
Speaker 1: It ain't that I even seen them. I wasn't even
Speaker 1: inspired by them either, right, I just knew I needed
Speaker 1: something to get to the next level, and what was
Speaker 1: close to me was street. So so I'm not sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm just call a spade to spade, right, But I
Speaker 1: wasn't there to broadcast about it, brag about it. I'm
Speaker 1: not a kind of person to do that. You would
Speaker 1: never know what I did, right, So I was just
Speaker 1: I needed something to go to the next level. But
Speaker 1: I'm not a person that settled for us. I always know,
Speaker 1: I'm not a person that bragg brag about things that's
Speaker 1: not positive at the end of the day. So for me,
Speaker 1: I just knew I'm gonna be something right. But one
Speaker 1: thing I always kept was a book in my hand, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I always made sure man
Speaker 1: it ain't guests to be dumb gainst his creed, right.
Speaker 1: So I just took the gangster image to the next level, like,
Speaker 1: oh it was gangster. Is taking care of my family? Was?
Speaker 1: Was gangster? Just keeping my little brother alive? Was gangster
Speaker 1: just keeping my homies alive. And I didn't want to
Speaker 1: risk nobody's life for my lifestyle. But you know, when
Speaker 1: you're in that lifestyle, you risking others life, people's life,
Speaker 1: and unconsciously you know now I know because back then
Speaker 1: it was it was more so I feel like I
Speaker 1: was helping you because if I'm in the streets and
Speaker 1: you respect, if you respect the name of how I'm coming. Man,
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna touch my family, right. I know that
Speaker 1: from being a kid growing up, right, So it's more.
Speaker 1: I was more big on respect. I wanted the streets
Speaker 1: for respect. Cause respect get you paid, right. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. I'm from respect, get you paid, right. So
Speaker 1: that's why I won't respect. Well, that's the number one currency. Yeah,
Speaker 1: love and respect, that's all. I love. Love and respect.
Speaker 1: So you're doing what you're doing. Did you have a game?
Speaker 1: Did you have a game like I'm gonna do this
Speaker 1: for five years, I'm gonna do this for ten years?
Speaker 1: How long did you said? I said, I'm gonna hustle.
Speaker 1: I ain't even have a limit on it. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to find a better hustle. That's so one hell
Speaker 1: will led to another. Hubble's it? So? Is that how
Speaker 1: you morphed into the rap game? You started hustling like
Speaker 1: day you hear other guys rapping like I could I
Speaker 1: could do that? No, It's funny. My mother had an
Speaker 1: artist's manager shared a chance to like, UH do community
Speaker 1: work for okay, and Uh I ended up getting close
Speaker 1: to him. We became best friends, right, So I'm I
Speaker 1: thought to myself. I said, Yo, maybe he could be
Speaker 1: a big rapper. Right. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: believe him, right, I goose, I believe you right, I'm
Speaker 1: with you. So I started from right there. So you

Speaker 1: next level. And that's what I did. So on that
Speaker 1: I learned how to be security, role, manager, assistant, booking agent.
Speaker 1: I learned all these roles. So when I seen God,
Speaker 1: God put me in a new atmosphere. I ain't take

Speaker 1: and go sit in the hood and roll dice and
Speaker 1: smoke weeds. Right. I want to buy the block, right,
Speaker 1: I want I want our name on the block. Right.
Speaker 1: That's going back to the hood. Okay. But what stopped
Speaker 1: me and what actually made me stop it hanging in
Speaker 1: the hood was Dick Gregory. Okay. I watched this clip.
Speaker 1: Dick Gregory was like, Nigga, why do you buy this
Speaker 1: rolls or to ride through the hood to show you
Speaker 1: the richest motherfucker that I can't buy one and d
Speaker 1: D And it's crazy because that's why I bought it. Right.
Speaker 1: I was young, like were getting money on the South Side.
Speaker 1: I'm going to pull a phantom out here, da da.
Speaker 1: But I was ignorant, and at the same time, I
Speaker 1: could have bought this car door downtown Atlanta, and I
Speaker 1: robbed by every day today, right, and its fucking five
Speaker 1: times about right, the egg on my face, right. So
Speaker 1: when I seen Dick Gregory do that, I actually got
Speaker 1: out that car. I ended up getting in to Escalate
Speaker 1: and I've been driving Escalator ever since two eleven and
Speaker 1: I don't barely be home, like I don't cards to me.
Speaker 1: It just I start figuring. I mean that, I mean, come,
Speaker 1: we need one to get from point A to point B.
Speaker 1: But at what point? Because you probably had everything? So
Speaker 1: now is it is it a means of transportation or
Speaker 1: that it means to get attention? You know what? It was?
Speaker 1: The problems crazy, The problem is like the things I
Speaker 1: wanted to be and grow up to be I got
Speaker 1: there twenty three years old. Okay, my mom, I was
Speaker 1: sitting so high on top of my mountain. I just
Speaker 1: kept smelling something, right, it just smell like manure. I
Speaker 1: was standing on top of ship mountain. I didn't have nothing.
Speaker 1: I didn't have no business. I didn't have no financial literacy.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a insurance policy. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: trust accounts was, shell companies. I didn't know how to
Speaker 1: go buy tangible businesses. I didn't know nothing. So I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: how am I this famous guy? And I'm the big
Speaker 1: away in y'all respected me, But I can't even tell
Speaker 1: you how to go open up a bank account. I
Speaker 1: didn't even how to open up a bank account. Shop.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I learned that twenty three years old.
Speaker 1: Like it's crazy, Like I'm all respect to my mother.
Speaker 1: And mother didn't have time to teach her that. She
Speaker 1: was too busy paying bills right and making sure we alive.
Speaker 1: So when I learned that part, it felt so good
Speaker 1: learning that. Like usually, if I if I want to
Speaker 1: run money up, I have to go on the streets. Now,
Speaker 1: y'all got good credits and holding companies, I gonna get
Speaker 1: me a low right, I can get along right now
Speaker 1: for ten million dollars even, honey, man, it's it's just
Speaker 1: perspective and a good business plan. It's easy. So when
Speaker 1: you start learning things like that, why would you be
Speaker 1: a edge monster? Right? I know anybody right now, Yo,
Speaker 1: I don't care how gainst you are, my boy, if
Speaker 1: you start learning this real business man, you ain't that
Speaker 1: duck man who I wish you ain't going. I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm not going nowhere with with with all the odds
Speaker 1: is against me. I can't do that. It's stupidity. So
Speaker 1: that's what made me stop. Man. I was on top
Speaker 1: of ship Mountain and I want to build Mount Everest, right,
Speaker 1: and I knew it's all right here in my brain.
Speaker 1: I got tired of just anytime I see a crowd
Speaker 1: of black people, I'm I'm clutching. If I get around
Speaker 1: a bunch of Chinese guys, a white guys and this
Speaker 1: guy I'm kind of cool, I'm like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1: your family, your neighborhood, in your state. So that's a
Speaker 1: lot of pillars. Mentally you have to get through as

Speaker 1: do and you say she's not she a hustler, she's
Speaker 1: a full blown is that where you get your hustle? Definitely? Definitely?
Speaker 1: Well she she the truth. So how does she teach
Speaker 1: you about business? Because you say you didn't really know
Speaker 1: anything about business, but you saw her. She had to
Speaker 1: have a good game playing together because some of these
Speaker 1: big artists, although they were probably starting at the bottom,
Speaker 1: they were entrusting her. Uh yeah. The only the problem
Speaker 1: with people in trusting people. You just don't trust yourself, right,
Speaker 1: That's one I think with my mother, she was a
Speaker 1: great teacher. Had shown you what she do, not explaining
Speaker 1: to you how to do it right, mama, mother. She's
Speaker 1: a kind of teacher that she wanted to see if
Speaker 1: the students is bringing to the table and not doing
Speaker 1: what she do. So I automatically knew. I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: now I don't have a vocal mother. She's straight down
Speaker 1: cold with us, right, like she didn't call him mother,
Speaker 1: Like you don't wake up, go to scuse. Oh it's okay,
Speaker 1: that's your little stupid ass, but you don't get the
Speaker 1: fuck out my house when you get wrong. That's definitely
Speaker 1: I'm telling she she ain't within no cookie cutting. So
Speaker 1: for me, I wanted to I said, you know something,
Speaker 1: whcause this is what I was great. I have to
Speaker 1: find everywhere in my mother's weekend right and filling it
Speaker 1: for strength. Okay, So it's like, why would I go
Speaker 1: do the same job she did it. She spent X
Speaker 1: amount of years to do it. I need to come
Speaker 1: here and build on it, right Cause I watched a
Speaker 1: lot of kids from my neighbor of like black kids,
Speaker 1: everything their parents do, they do the opposite right, And
Speaker 1: I never understood that. I'm like, yo, if your parents
Speaker 1: working for twenty years, why wouldn't you build around the right.
Speaker 1: So that's all I did. Man, I just I went
Speaker 1: everywhere with my mother. Needed feeling that and handle it.
Speaker 1: Oh my mama's boy. Excuse me if I never had
Speaker 1: a girl out of stayed living with my mother. How
Speaker 1: long had your mom been in the rep in the
Speaker 1: music industry? Now we've been. I I feel been connected
Speaker 1: to music since brun DMC wow. Like these folks are
Speaker 1: all through the house, like any kind of artists. I
Speaker 1: just don't want to stuck. I really don't like stuff
Speaker 1: right by A promise to you. Everybody was in my
Speaker 1: grandmother house right at all? Any rapping proby can think about.
Speaker 1: But then if you saw that growing up, what made
Speaker 1: you want to go to the hustle game? If you
Speaker 1: saw that your your what your mom and what your
Speaker 1: grandmama and what you couldn't become, why'd you go to
Speaker 1: the opposite? You say, you don't understand when you see
Speaker 1: kids you oppositely to what their parents do, But you
Speaker 1: would doing the opposite? Was yeah, you would do the opposite? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I would love to answer that question,
Speaker 1: but I can't. When Gooch, you say you you tagged
Speaker 1: along with Gooch, But so when when Gooch went to
Speaker 1: a club man, is that when you started rapping. Nah,
Speaker 1: Actually when I started rapping, because Gooch kept going to
Speaker 1: jails in the beginning, right, like he couldn't even stand
Speaker 1: the jail for a year straight, like Miscellanian stuff. Then
Speaker 1: it got to a point where locally people was like, oh,
Speaker 1: walk you made I'm like nigging. I only got three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on a partner. Like. So, when I was
Speaker 1: trying to do stuff that normally do, people look at
Speaker 1: them like, man, why are you over here? Bro? You
Speaker 1: know you ain't gotta do this, y'all live right, I'm
Speaker 1: like no, I'm like So it forced me to get
Speaker 1: in the studio and becoming around. I remember when I
Speaker 1: was becoming rapping, goops like I don't like your rapping, man,
Speaker 1: you need to be a gool what yah? Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I was like hey, no, But in my head, I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: then I'm about to make us big, right, We're not
Speaker 1: about to fall right. So that's all it was. It
Speaker 1: was about just picking the team up and running right.
Speaker 1: That's all I wanted to do. So the brick squaded,
Speaker 1: your your crew, your click. So how did you come
Speaker 1: up with the name? How do you like? Okay, this
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do. I'm done with that, all
Speaker 1: the other stuff that I used to do. I'm done.
Speaker 1: This is this is my total vision because you seem
Speaker 1: like a very folk like when you set your mind
Speaker 1: is whatever, it is good badly different when you set
Speaker 1: your mind and something you going down that road. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta sit in the army. You know. I'm the
Speaker 1: guy that don't change though, I'm the guy that evolved, right,
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to evolve. It wasn't about like
Speaker 1: what I did not doing it. I evolved from that.
Speaker 1: So how you say we came from a crew a
Speaker 1: click to a company right to organization, correct, So that's
Speaker 1: why I wanted. I'm like, yo, why could you can
Speaker 1: do it? It's just like, how could you not do this? Man?
Speaker 1: Let's just America. How do you? How did you organize?
Speaker 1: Because you like by making us a million fucking mistakes
Speaker 1: and every even none of 'em broke it, none of
Speaker 1: nothing and break me? How could you break me? I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's nothing in the world's gonna break me. I could
Speaker 1: walk with no arms and legs. I'm still never gonna
Speaker 1: be broken. I got my mind, man, So how are
Speaker 1: you able to build a fan base so quickly. I
Speaker 1: guess genuine and realness. All you gotta do is be real,
Speaker 1: be authentic. I don't have none against artists today, but
Speaker 1: I never was a kind of artist to be flashing
Speaker 1: guns and cameras and talking about killing you all day.
Speaker 1: And that ain't my swag. I couldn't do I had.
Speaker 1: I had a chance to do that right, right, Like
Speaker 1: I had a chance to make like just manifesting murder
Speaker 1: is what I call it. So I had that manifesting
Speaker 1: murder music, right, But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I said, yo, I got a party. Still. People are like,
Speaker 1: go walk, can you switch it up with ETL? But
Speaker 1: I'm like, yoll had that on my first album, right,
Speaker 1: I was. I just wanted to rock with every body, right,
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was entertaining, right cause I know I
Speaker 1: was a shit rapper. So I said, I'm i'ma be
Speaker 1: the best entertainer. That's something I know, y'all. And I
Speaker 1: can mess with me with I know. But when I
Speaker 1: came out and doing music, recession was out right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I came out of an old a old
Speaker 1: nine right. There was recessions, right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: rappers was on stage like being cool. I came out
Speaker 1: headbanging I and I see just from the error of
Speaker 1: me coming out, I see what it created. I see
Speaker 1: now we're on festivals. I used to be the only
Speaker 1: rapping out error on festivals, right, they used to be
Speaker 1: like festivals. The fuck is that I might just take
Speaker 1: a picture that festivals like, damn, you got a big
Speaker 1: fan base. I'm in America. My my label was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I gave me this album called Friends, Fans and Family.
Speaker 1: They's like, nah, we don't want this. Like what the
Speaker 1: fuck that wanted me to keep talking about killing people
Speaker 1: and girls sucking my balls all day? Like that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I got a daughter, right, I got a little brothers,
Speaker 1: I got a little on me. So I went over
Speaker 1: seas myself. I ended up me and me and on
Speaker 1: my friend break. We end up going over there, taking
Speaker 1: us a cameraman that speak French, learned English through rapper,
Speaker 1: and we went all through Europe, all through Germany, all
Speaker 1: through Sweden, everywhere, and rocked all the festivals. And I
Speaker 1: because I I've seen this quote, there's like your pictures
Speaker 1: said a thousand things. So all I did was just

Speaker 1: I'm just saying. You know, like I said, I it's
Speaker 1: this thing I wanted to show them. I wanted to guys, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not I know I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I was
Speaker 1: never wanted them, but I wanted to show them I'm
Speaker 1: still hey. Even though y'all see you born TV and
Speaker 1: I'm playing and I'm catching touchdowns. I'm in the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I ain't changing. I still got respect, I still got
Speaker 1: love for you. You know. It's crazy. It's like it's
Speaker 1: what they call street niggas. Yeah, that's people that get
Speaker 1: money out the streets seven right, and the street guys,
Speaker 1: these guys born in the streets. Rights mean, I'm a
Speaker 1: street guy. I'm a hustler. I'm not a trapper. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm not about to stay out here and sell drugs
Speaker 1: every day, right, nigga know my face, kudos whoever did it.
Speaker 1: I never sold crack, never sold cocaine. I never That's
Speaker 1: not my sway. I don't I'm gonna tell you that.
Speaker 1: Everybody know that. But I'm not with that. But I'm
Speaker 1: with what I'm with though he's getting I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: But in life, man, it's even like rappers. They call
Speaker 1: everybody a rapper, but it's not. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: of rappers out today. If you're a rapper, that means
Speaker 1: hip hop pays your bills. It's a lot of inspiring rappers.
Speaker 1: It's people I had to spend money to look like
Speaker 1: a rapper. And try to be a rapper, invade all
Speaker 1: the people that had getting into more trouble than the
Speaker 1: people that's actually getting paid off hip hop. So that
Speaker 1: shit divide today. I think that they got to stop
Speaker 1: putting these guys in the same bracket. How could you
Speaker 1: put an upcoming rapper and put a headline like he's
Speaker 1: the newest guy. What was the respect that my man? Like,
Speaker 1: these guys are inspiring rappers, rappers get paid off this
Speaker 1: inspiring basketball. That's like saying a guy that playing the
Speaker 1: park is an NBA player. So it's like niggas in
Speaker 1: ots NBA players. That's like kids in college are NBA players, No,
Speaker 1: they inspiring NBA players. That's like these guys that's get
Speaker 1: around rappers, they inspiring artists. So it's a difference. You
Speaker 1: gotta know the difference. And I think that's what a
Speaker 1: mental confusion come from from rappers and inspiring rappers. They
Speaker 1: feel like they gotta hang around the guys that's inspiring,
Speaker 1: and that's when they go back to their old ways
Speaker 1: or get tied into some old shit. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: If it's three o'clock in the morning, I'm not hanging
Speaker 1: around a bunch of mean, mugging ass motherfuckers. They give
Speaker 1: you not smiling, you're getting away from me. That's my motto.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, bro, he's not smiling. What's wrong with
Speaker 1: They get him some shots, so he gotta go home?
Speaker 1: Simple as that, hell girl, simple, your house got ready. However,
Speaker 1: I've never been a situation you see it on TV.
Speaker 1: So you your home is raided. You weren't home, but
Speaker 1: but gutual. So what's it like? So when you get
Speaker 1: to call it, hey red the red dogs kicking there
Speaker 1: now else Harry County back then, Oh here they cause
Speaker 1: they thought my house had drugs and prostitution ranking this.
Speaker 1: Oh my brother, I'm a rapper, like, I'm a rapper like,
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid until they got a rapper, right bro,
Speaker 1: all that in the streets. You're right they thought that
Speaker 1: was a front hunt. Of course there ain't no front fuck.
Speaker 1: I look like selling weed, a crack of pills, and
Speaker 1: I'm getting paid thirty forty sixties hundreds in this to

Speaker 1: I hope they learn from him. Man. I pray they'd
Speaker 1: be bigger and bigger and better people from right. I
Speaker 1: read what you said. I wish I hadn't started my
Speaker 1: rap career off talking about guns and violence. Yea, cousin,
Speaker 1: I just seen what it did to everybody. I seen it.
Speaker 1: I'm watching that shit invented drill music and all that
Speaker 1: Before me, Bro, I would never see people doing like
Speaker 1: crunk gang banger music. Right. That what I wanted. I
Speaker 1: created my stay. I like something for distrect shit and
Speaker 1: some parties, right and it, shit just went to the left.
Speaker 1: Like I watched everybody grow dreadlocks. I just watched them.
Speaker 1: I watched everybody party the same way. Niggas jumping the crowds,
Speaker 1: head banging, moving around. I watched it. I watched him
Speaker 1: have a cruel motherfucker's on stage jumping around. I watched it.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they guy, but I watched. They watched me, dude. Right,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying, and I see how far
Speaker 1: it went. Though it's a different see due to me
Speaker 1: and these young guys today. See, we two different men monsters.
Speaker 1: Right when I came up. You know what, my most
Speaker 1: important piece of my career was what my OG's. Okay,
Speaker 1: So every song I was talking about about big homies.
Speaker 1: These young kids today they think they're the big homie
Speaker 1: and I'm here to tell the lack of respect and
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't care about that because I
Speaker 1: don't even think about nigga dispecting me. I'm telling them,
Speaker 1: are young guys, Hey, that's your self destruction button. You
Speaker 1: got to tap into people growning and you're older, you
Speaker 1: have to I'm telling you, don't ever let these people
Speaker 1: that are doing business talk to you like you are
Speaker 1: a man, because you're not nigga. You young you, they
Speaker 1: gonna get you that way. So for me, I always
Speaker 1: kept some older people around me, and I don't care
Speaker 1: what happened in my career or how I when it
Speaker 1: created who I am today. And that was the biggest
Speaker 1: blessing I haven't had in my life because I was
Speaker 1: raised around oldgs. It's rap music blame for the gun
Speaker 1: violence in the community. Oh no, that's the person. Hip
Speaker 1: hop is not dangerous. It's the man that's rappening. My
Speaker 1: hip hop career is not dangerous. Right, Yeah, So let
Speaker 1: me ask you this. You're rapping about this, okay, you
Speaker 1: try to get it. You're trying to get get knock noticed.
Speaker 1: Your debut album. You you rap about what you wrap
Speaker 1: once you make it should you stop. Should you change
Speaker 1: your messaging? I I'll tell you this shit. If you
Speaker 1: still right about gangsters, you're a lie. You're captain. I
Speaker 1: stopped rapping because I ain't do it. I never knew life, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm not nigga. I Scott dived, I walked down Barcelona.
Speaker 1: I never knew this shit exists, right, yo. I never
Speaker 1: even went to festivals before I came a rapper, right,
Speaker 1: I was in the streets. I never knew about festivals.
Speaker 1: I never even heard of that ship. You got guys,
Speaker 1: that street guys going to festivals doing gangster shit. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Not back? No, I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you that's not my life. Man. My life is just
Speaker 1: it's not about drilling and killing and spinning. I'm not
Speaker 1: about to kill y'all. Think what you talking about? Why?
Speaker 1: Why do you think hip hop is the only music
Speaker 1: genre that glorifies killing its song. Oh, it's just a
Speaker 1: mental condition. It's just the way they see each other
Speaker 1: like as it's an animal thinking. Then, because everybody's in
Speaker 1: survival mode, right, So if you act as if you
Speaker 1: got to survive, the only thing that acts like you
Speaker 1: gotta survive as an animal? Animal? Yes, you see what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So once everybody stopped thinking that they got
Speaker 1: some vive and live, it's two different perspectives. I know,
Speaker 1: I just gotta live. I don't have to survive no more. Right,
Speaker 1: So these guys are just in survival mental mentalities. So
Speaker 1: that's why they got animal instincts. How do we get
Speaker 1: the recording companies to stop exploring that because they pushed that? Uh?
Speaker 1: How do you get them to stop doing it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How many billionaires we got that? Rappers? We don't have
Speaker 1: to say we have? Well, you guys want to see
Speaker 1: jay Z it's a billionaire? Did he? Probably? I think
Speaker 1: Diddy Diddy might be one. At Rihanna's not a rapper,
Speaker 1: but she's a billionaire. I mean, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think what's stopping all these people that got all this? Manica? Hey,
Speaker 1: I never touched a hundre of mellon. I can't wait
Speaker 1: right either, I cannot wait. I'm talking a hundred million liquid,
Speaker 1: not just having on him. I don't care what hundred million.
Speaker 1: I don't hunt hundred a hundred million puzzle pieces. I
Speaker 1: don't hold a hundred million or something that's true. But
Speaker 1: I ask you this right, what's stopping people that got
Speaker 1: all this money just saying hey, look y'all, let's all
Speaker 1: put a hundred millionaire, Let's create a major label, Let's
Speaker 1: create a distribution company. Let's get our kids aside on us.
Speaker 1: It's not about making money, about keeping them to survive.
Speaker 1: Do you do you believe that you can make it
Speaker 1: without talking about those things? The drugs, the guns, the sex,
Speaker 1: the violets? Can you can you have a Can you
Speaker 1: have a can you have a rap career? But I
Speaker 1: just heard a chance to rapper? Okay, I heard J Cole.
Speaker 1: The guys don't again, that's what you glorify, k Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just it's just that's just life. You say you
Speaker 1: don't do that? Did you did you ever do drugs?
Speaker 1: Did you ever do pills? Did you ever do lean? Yes?
Speaker 1: I was addicted to extacy from fourteen to twenty seven. Yes?
Speaker 1: Did you go to rehab? Or you just stop? Man?
Speaker 1: I'm done with this. Done? So you in cold Turkey? No, no,
Speaker 1: no intervention or nothing. I find it weak to depend
Speaker 1: on something else that you created as a man, right,
Speaker 1: especially so I don't. I talked to a council for
Speaker 1: just a hair perspective, never to be a crutch again.
Speaker 1: God gave me something choice, a mind. You have to
Speaker 1: build on your mind like you building your basketball skills.
Speaker 1: And I want to overpower these ships. I want to
Speaker 1: overpower everything. I just nothing could beat my mind. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you and Gucci got Gucci was on
Speaker 1: and dry, got cleaned. You and him had a falling
Speaker 1: out considering how me and Gucca and being best of friends.
Speaker 1: In my first fucking mixtape, y'all, we always was like this,
Speaker 1: like but but I mean, but you know, he started
Speaker 1: hearing you you was piggy back in or you was
Speaker 1: tailing a truck, whatever term you wanted. I don't give
Speaker 1: a damn whatever they want you what what what happened?
Speaker 1: You said? He didn't want you to wrap. He wanted
Speaker 1: you to be that little king. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I'm over talking about it. But it's his life, right,
Speaker 1: I know. I ain't do nothing flaw right, There's all
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Right, you get what I'm trying to say. Like,
Speaker 1: but y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, cordial, cordial, man, We good, okay,
Speaker 1: But it's just like he's doing something totally different. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't move how he moved, right, I couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry. Like he happy doing what he's doing right,
Speaker 1: and shit, I'm happy doing what I'm doing right. So
Speaker 1: if we ever, if it ever intertwined something in a
Speaker 1: time and the place, and hey, it's just it's what
Speaker 1: it is. But he happy, man, And to me, that's
Speaker 1: all I ever wanted to see my dog happy. Right,
Speaker 1: So he happy to being where he I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't gotta be there, right, I cheered for nigga mile away.
Speaker 1: I don't kill your brother. Yeah, committed suicide, and I
Speaker 1: thank you. He before he did he call, he reached
Speaker 1: that you missed his call? Yeah, definitely. How did that
Speaker 1: impact you? Shit? Fuck me up? Brokay? Let you know, man,
Speaker 1: just shit, you didn't know what your brother was going through?
Speaker 1: Digit nah and that let me know, man, I'm too
Speaker 1: into myself. And you missed the science? Would they? Were
Speaker 1: they anyone on the side that something that you could
Speaker 1: have picked up on? I could see it cause he
Speaker 1: was going blind, Okay, But again I couldn't see you
Speaker 1: killing him so far right, right, it was it's a
Speaker 1: selfish act. Right. I still ain't forgive him for it,
Speaker 1: to be honest. So that's probably a lot why I
Speaker 1: don't hurt me a lot. But man, that's shit. Crazy. Man,
Speaker 1: it crushed me. I ain't even gonna lie it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I still ain't like deal with I ain't put it

Speaker 1: can right, I have to just yeah, it's there's nothing
Speaker 1: gonna break me and beat me down. How do you
Speaker 1: how do you? I guess the word is cope, say
Speaker 1: you get over. That's the wrong words. When you start
Speaker 1: attaching yourself to these words, you start falling with deal
Speaker 1: with it. It's nothing to deal with. It happened, right,
Speaker 1: It's like saying you just move on. Just ain't half
Speaker 1: a move on? Boyeah? Yeah, what you're gonna do about it? Gone,
Speaker 1: It's like having a cold. I'm saying, complaining and call
Speaker 1: for get some help me get over it, and I

Speaker 1: You gotta deal with it? Why, there's no can't man?
Speaker 1: So is that? Is? That? Is that? Why? How? And

Speaker 1: in that bad with that kind of sickness? And then
Speaker 1: I had to grow up and realize the kind of
Speaker 1: man he was, and that was his comma. That's another
Speaker 1: reason I didn't stay in the streets. I didn't want
Speaker 1: my comma to die in the hospital bed for counsel.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so big in health right now. I

Speaker 1: a point in my career where it was like, yo, Boka,
Speaker 1: like you enough is enough, man, you gotta like let go.
Speaker 1: And I just got to a point where I was like,

Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to hold it over you, but
Speaker 1: fucking I guess God did it for me to do
Speaker 1: it so you can learn from it. And I learned
Speaker 1: in that process you're pushing people. You can be pushing
Speaker 1: them to their death. A lot of people don't can't
Speaker 1: afford to be pushed, right, They had to edge in
Speaker 1: their life, right. So I had to learn that as well.
Speaker 1: A lot of mistakes I made. I didn't want people
Speaker 1: to walk down certain avenues because I was afraid they
Speaker 1: wouldn't make it out how I did. So I had
Speaker 1: a lot of them like, it's something else just so
Speaker 1: they ain't gotta do that, right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's just a lot of shit that went on
Speaker 1: in the middle of bro, You've had you had a
Speaker 1: very inspiring story. To see where you came from, to
Speaker 1: see the mentality that you had, to see where you
