Speaker 1: Where's adding the family. Welcome to another episode of Against
Speaker 1: the Chronicles podcast. Before we get started with this compentace interview,
Speaker 1: I justly wanted to chop it up real quick. My homeboy,
Speaker 1: Gorilla Black. Um, let you guys know that he is
Speaker 1: now officially part of the Digital soapbox family. What's up
Speaker 1: with your black man? What's going on with it still? Man?
Speaker 1: Just ready to get this amazing stuff started, Man, that
Speaker 1: me and you got going on. Man, We're gonna leach
Speaker 1: to the world real soon. Man. Man, it's definitely man
Speaker 1: gonna be epic. Man. This is gonna take things to
Speaker 1: a whole another level and share lighting waves. Man. A
Speaker 1: lot of cats previously didn't even have an understanding of it.
Speaker 1: It's just a beautiful thing. Man. And you know I
Speaker 1: mean you to sit down, man and come together man
Speaker 1: and be able to shed light for a lot of
Speaker 1: cash man, so that they could have a different level
Speaker 1: of looking at the world, of looking at things around them. Man.
Speaker 1: On so many different assets and facets, man, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, with without a doubt. Man, you know what, Um,
Speaker 1: you're coming home man after ten years man, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know the federal prison system, Man, it definitely has
Speaker 1: opened your mind up to a whole another different level
Speaker 1: of thinking. Yeah, man, I mean being there, man, was
Speaker 1: a terrible thing because all of the different things that
Speaker 1: I had to, you know, struggle with being away from
Speaker 1: my family and my loved ones and losing my liberty.
Speaker 1: But being there was a watershed moment for me. It
Speaker 1: was an AHA moment due to the fact that I
Speaker 1: was able to open my mind to something that was
Speaker 1: different and previous, previously hidden from me on so many
Speaker 1: different levels of understanding on world views and literature and
Speaker 1: philosophy and religion and you know, all of those things man,
Speaker 1: that previously I never made time for or I never
Speaker 1: just gave mine fully you know, attention to, just never
Speaker 1: just sat myself down and just opened my mind up
Speaker 1: to something different. I was just so used to being
Speaker 1: in a one way, one set mind frame for so long,
Speaker 1: so to be able to do something just totally different, man,
Speaker 1: just sit down and study and reading, be around different dudes,
Speaker 1: you know that have a a different type of way
Speaker 1: of thinking about things, and you know, so that just
Speaker 1: really just put me in a whole different mental space
Speaker 1: and me coming home just now, I my mind is
Speaker 1: open to so many different things on so many different levels.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, well you know the biggest thing is
Speaker 1: right now, well we have going on as good as
Speaker 1: the Internet most things. Man, it's a really a tool
Speaker 1: of distraction if you're allowed to be. Yeah, it definitely
Speaker 1: could be a tune of distraction. Man. I mean so
Speaker 1: many people, man, are just and dated with so much
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on right now. When you're looking at
Speaker 1: all of the social media sites, whether it be Facebook,
Speaker 1: and whether it be in Instagram or snapchat or ticktop,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much they dumbing themselves down, man. And
Speaker 1: so to be able to have an outlet and in
Speaker 1: a way where you know, people can really, you know,
Speaker 1: just really sit down and become you know, one with
Speaker 1: themselves and reflect on things, and to be able to
Speaker 1: look at things outside of the current circumstances or just
Speaker 1: the regular, you know, repeated cycle of I hate to
Speaker 1: say that word BS, but yeah, man, just to be
Speaker 1: able to look at things outside of that, man, it's
Speaker 1: not only I opening, but it's liberating. Bro. Well, it
Speaker 1: definitely is about a BS and that's the right term
Speaker 1: for it. That's the correct term because let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, which you're just coming home and the Internet
Speaker 1: was around before you went in, but it wasn't being
Speaker 1: utilizing in the manner of what your deals. Now, what
Speaker 1: do you think about the current system? I think man,
Speaker 1: the earring system. Man, it's a blessing and it's occurs
Speaker 1: because you have certain people that live in a lower
Speaker 1: mind frame, and then you have those who create content
Speaker 1: that's degregated and degraded. And then you have those who
Speaker 1: are well learned who is able to spread the message
Speaker 1: and open people up to a different way of thinking
Speaker 1: and be able to inform them. So at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's a blessing and it's a curse, and it's whatever
Speaker 1: we give our energy to and whatever energy we take
Speaker 1: from it. You know, there's an old parable. You know,
Speaker 1: an Indian said, you know, there's two dogs, and so
Speaker 1: there's an old Indian parable. And you know, the Indian
Speaker 1: was asking a little boy and you know, you have
Speaker 1: two dogs and they were to begin the fighting, which
Speaker 1: one wins? And he said, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: which one wins. And so he said, ultimately, it's whichever
Speaker 1: one you feed the most, whether it's dark or light,
Speaker 1: positive or negative, whichever dog you feed the most. And
Speaker 1: so that's how I look at things. So we can
Speaker 1: look at it with the glass half empty, or we
Speaker 1: could look at it with the glass half full. It's
Speaker 1: just two different viewpoints. Yeah, well really the main thing
Speaker 1: is right now. That's why I always tell our audience
Speaker 1: people to be open minded on things, but take stuff
Speaker 1: with a cream and salt and do your own exactly. Man.
Speaker 1: And when you have social media sites and you have
Speaker 1: so many different people competing to create content, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a good thing because you know that there's there's
Speaker 1: that one percent of people that create content, there's nine
Speaker 1: percent that engage with it, and then there's just nine
Speaker 1: who's just consumers of the content. And a lot of
Speaker 1: people are that. So you you have to understand what
Speaker 1: it is that you're taking in and what it is
Speaker 1: that you're looking at. Prior to me going to prison,
Speaker 1: there wasn't on Facebook or Instagram. It was just on
Speaker 1: the virgins, on the on the precipice of something different.
Speaker 1: You know. So I come home and it's totally reshaped,
Speaker 1: you know, the social you know, status of everything that
Speaker 1: you look at, whether it be from financial literacy, the
Speaker 1: pop culture to everything that you could think about. Social
Speaker 1: media has reshaped it on every aspect of life. And
Speaker 1: so now, you know, me coming home and seeing this,
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand how powerful of a twol you know,
Speaker 1: social media has become, and so a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't realize, you know that they just their recipients of negative, negative, negative,
Speaker 1: negative information and its feeding them negative, negative information. And
Speaker 1: then there's other people that's out there that's creating other
Speaker 1: types of content. So I mean, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, man, you know, it was it was an
Speaker 1: eye opener, man, it definitely was eye open. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely excited about the stuff that me and you have
Speaker 1: going on. Man. I think, um, you know, we might
Speaker 1: as well loot to count the bag. Me and Gorilla Black.
Speaker 1: We're doing a podcast called Revelations, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: really your mind bending journey and it's going to be
Speaker 1: the educating the foreign people it is. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: off the chain. Definitely. I think it's something. Man. If
Speaker 1: you know, one thing I always wanted to do, man, still,
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, I wanted to be someone
Speaker 1: who contributed not to the culture, whether it was you know,
Speaker 1: through you know, me doing music or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: But I think that on this journey man, and on
Speaker 1: this on this level of you know, place it where
Speaker 1: I'm at right now mentally, Man, I really want to
Speaker 1: open people mind up to some different things. Man. And
Speaker 1: I think that this man, this platform, Man, I think
Speaker 1: that this is gonna be something that where people can
Speaker 1: go to and they can really learn some things that
Speaker 1: they previously didn't learn or no. And we that's why,
Speaker 1: you know, we we want to call it revelations, man,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna reveal what was hidden. We're gonna open
Speaker 1: up you know, a lot of different subjects and a
Speaker 1: lot of different things that people you know from our
Speaker 1: culture really don't talk about a lot of things. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a different thing. We could be inundated with who
Speaker 1: got the biggest chain or what kind of car he
Speaker 1: pulled up in. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: life is a lot bigger than the chain in a car.
Speaker 1: Um So there's a lot of things. And so when
Speaker 1: you look at things, man, you know, our history as
Speaker 1: black people. You know, the other day, we were just
Speaker 1: having a conversation about Moosa Mansa and we were talking
Speaker 1: about how this man ruled over the Mali Empire and
Speaker 1: you know, on his travel to Mecca, this man took
Speaker 1: with him twenty two kilogram of gold. This man gave
Speaker 1: away so much gold that he dropped the price of
Speaker 1: gold for a whole decade. Literally, And this is an
Speaker 1: African king, a king. Now just think about that, not
Speaker 1: to cut you off black, but klograms of gold. What
Speaker 1: would the monetary value of that be today? Man, billions
Speaker 1: of dollars, bro billions of dollars. Imagine the amount twenty
Speaker 1: two hundred kilograms of gold is what he took to
Speaker 1: be exact hundred kilograms of gold. So just imagine this.
Speaker 1: It dropped the prices of gold for a whole decade
Speaker 1: throughout the world. So this is an African king. Man,
Speaker 1: So we want to talk about some of the things man,
Speaker 1: you know, our people have done and what we've done
Speaker 1: other than just musical but on the financial level, you know,
Speaker 1: when you know historians look at his wealth, it would
Speaker 1: be two times the amount of Jeff Bezo. So if
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezo today is presently worked a hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: seven billion dollars, then mussa Mansel would be easily worth
Speaker 1: over four hundred billion dollars. So he would be almost
Speaker 1: halfway to being a trigger there, correct correct, and I
Speaker 1: think that would make him one of the richest individuals
Speaker 1: in the world, if not the riches. So I mean,
Speaker 1: when we talk about look at our black colleges, this
Speaker 1: man was the first person who started in college in
Speaker 1: tim Buck two with twenty five thousand students. And we're
Speaker 1: not talking about you know, we're talking about in in
Speaker 1: in in the thirteen, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. So just
Speaker 1: imagine this. This man had so many books of Masked
Speaker 1: and tim Buck two that it doubled the amount of
Speaker 1: the books that we're in Alexandria and each of So,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a king man that really believed
Speaker 1: in educating his people on a whole different level. It's
Speaker 1: spread and well oth and you know, in bettering these people,
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, man, yeah, that's dope. Man. Well
Speaker 1: I'm definitely I'm definitely man looking forward man given this,
Speaker 1: but we've created to the people man, and you guys,
Speaker 1: um we had the first episode of Revelations is dropping
Speaker 1: another week or two, so we look forward to giving
Speaker 1: that to y'all. So we go get them get into
Speaker 1: this complimented interview. I'm on you, black. I appreciate you, brother, man,
Speaker 1: I love you my man, definitely, let's do it. Look
Speaker 1: you too, Bro, the complimented interview, yolls against the chronicles.

Speaker 1: Just chilling man, just chilling man. Glad hen you won't
Speaker 1: hear Man. I appreciate you're having me Bro for shore
Speaker 1: so that we could go back to the game. Man.
Speaker 1: When he was a little kid, I was in showerhood man, man,
Speaker 1: Like I tell niggas all the time, like even coming
Speaker 1: up in a neighborhood that I grew up in, like
Speaker 1: I was blessed to have like the older niggas in
Speaker 1: my in my life and ship like that because there
Speaker 1: wasn't enforced to do a lot of things. I wasn't
Speaker 1: forced to do no bad ship. I played sports and
Speaker 1: they forced me on a on a good path. Grew
Speaker 1: up with my parents. He feeling pops in and out
Speaker 1: the house. Mom's was on the trailers. It's a typical
Speaker 1: hood ship. So that's what I could say, Like, you know, really, man,
Speaker 1: how did that impact you? Man? Having a mother that
Speaker 1: was on frogs, that was seffering from frogly ditch man
Speaker 1: Like I was just raised different. You get what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: so I didn't really look at it like my mother
Speaker 1: was a crackhead. And then I looked at it just
Speaker 1: like she had a problem. She has a function and attict.
Speaker 1: So she would be breakflets, lunch and dinner on the table,
Speaker 1: the house to be clean. But nighttime then that's what
Speaker 1: she you know, turning to go do what she do.
Speaker 1: So I didn't never have like a a bad feeling
Speaker 1: about somebody that did truiler. I just felt like it
Speaker 1: was natural to me realistically for sure. So you said
Speaker 1: he played football, Yeah, play pop Warner and the whole line.
Speaker 1: I started playing, Um, yeah, I played pop Warna. I
Speaker 1: played pop Warna for a couple of years. When you
Speaker 1: played for Compton's nah, I think it's the Titans at
Speaker 1: the time. Yea, yeah, the Titans. And then I had
Speaker 1: went to a middle school called the NFL Yet Center,
Speaker 1: responsible by the NFL. It was right there in Compton
Speaker 1: on Central and Womanton. I want to say, yeah, so
Speaker 1: that was a good thing too because we got to
Speaker 1: really meet people. That was like doing different ships give me.
Speaker 1: So sports was a really big part of my life.
Speaker 1: No matter what was going on, I always had that
Speaker 1: team atmosphere always, you know, between sports and hip hop
Speaker 1: mansa you know, so helped me a lot for cutting
Speaker 1: you up. But even from like going to different schools
Speaker 1: because the good schools was Crypt schools. He feeled me,
Speaker 1: so I had to go to Crypt schools too. So
Speaker 1: just sports helped me build real relationships before it was
Speaker 1: game banging on each other and ship like that and
Speaker 1: going to the school of the year. After that, building
Speaker 1: relationship it was. It wasn't no, it was easy for me.
Speaker 1: It f for me. It wasn't like I had a
Speaker 1: blood problems against the Crypts and nothing like that. They
Speaker 1: just made sure I was straight and it was a family.
Speaker 1: It gave me. So sports was a big, big thing.
Speaker 1: That's dope. Man, When did you start getting a hip hop?
Speaker 1: But when did you start getting book? Want to wrap
Speaker 1: an n see my ankle? A lot was sports ain't
Speaker 1: really I wouldn't into like school like that, so I
Speaker 1: didn't funk around it. I didn't take no s a
Speaker 1: T s and ship like that, so I didn't get
Speaker 1: to do what I wanted to do. So I was
Speaker 1: just doing the you know, the regularly outrage this ship
Speaker 1: and I really it was a dude name that went
Speaker 1: to comp to high school and his name was Michael Hunt.
Speaker 1: Already here's some se the block and he was real
Speaker 1: close with the game when they started pop. I was
Speaker 1: a streeting. I was just like really stilling cards at
Speaker 1: this time and like that. Yeah, and I would call
Speaker 1: Mike to come, you know, help me out when this
Speaker 1: time that you know, chopping business part. So he ran
Speaker 1: around with Game and he's like, man, my boy game rapping,
Speaker 1: like you should come out with us. You feel we
Speaker 1: were starting to go out with a lot of niggers,
Speaker 1: want a lot of real niggers with us and ship
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm like, all right, code And I
Speaker 1: was just really a street and that I wasn't really
Speaker 1: into music, so you wasn't really into it, but you
Speaker 1: just got around the vibe and started. I got around
Speaker 1: the vibe and I got to see like like Dann
Speaker 1: like somebody from the city did this ship like a
Speaker 1: game that we did this ship and I really fell
Speaker 1: in love with music around two that was for this
Speaker 1: dope man. And at that time, Chuck was blowing up
Speaker 1: like he was the man. Yeah, he was the biggest
Speaker 1: thing ever. I was, Yeah, I u K at that time.
Speaker 1: Man of traveling back and forth between here in the
Speaker 1: States and even over there. He was huge, you know,
Speaker 1: So you start doing that. Do you remember the first
Speaker 1: song you laid down? Man? Yeah, I do. I think
Speaker 1: it's called for My Niggers. And it was a good
Speaker 1: thing because we had recorded that's song and I think
Speaker 1: the same the same studio that Too Pod got shot
Speaker 1: in in New York. So just that whole energy and
Speaker 1: all that ship wasever. That was a cool b that's
Speaker 1: crazy man. So how did the game like responding you
Speaker 1: rapping and stuff? Because you didn't leave him on the
Speaker 1: premise of being a rapper. How did he respond to that?
Speaker 1: It was just like it was like laughing for he
Speaker 1: like then' gonna wrap. It's like a laugh. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like a you can't do a type of thing him.
Speaker 1: He showed me that he was interested in gave me that,
Speaker 1: you know, the courage to push on with him. I
Speaker 1: can say that for sure. So when did you know
Speaker 1: When did you first know that she was only something
Speaker 1: like as far as being the MC, When did you
Speaker 1: start like seeing some results from your work? I would say, Um,
Speaker 1: I always had a I always had a good relationship
Speaker 1: with like little Wayne So when little Wayne had dead
Speaker 1: blood niggas with him, and it was at a time
Speaker 1: like right before he was going to jail, and he
Speaker 1: called me like, hey, I'll be in l A. You're
Speaker 1: trying to shoot the video. I'm like, hell yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 1: That was a big thing right there for me at
Speaker 1: the time, because that's when I first beginning first trying
Speaker 1: to learn myself from feeling, Yeah, that record, man, that
Speaker 1: like blew up on the underground level, like that, that
Speaker 1: record being good for you. Yeah, for sure, that for
Speaker 1: sure that after that, nigga stopped saying Wayne wasn't fake
Speaker 1: blood too, if you notice, Yeah, that's crazy. You know,
Speaker 1: let's talk about that for man, because I don't know
Speaker 1: where cats get there from speaking on cats that they
Speaker 1: don't know. We was talking about that off air because
Speaker 1: when I was in New Orleans, Wayne had a bunch
Speaker 1: of real niggas with him. He had a bunch of
Speaker 1: real blood niggas that was from his turf, that was
Speaker 1: from his city down there, and he had been claiming
Speaker 1: that hood for a long time. In fact, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, he's and he's one of the you know,
Speaker 1: outside of the gang shipping everything Wayne is genuinely one
Speaker 1: of the just better people on this plane. Well ain't
Speaker 1: the real nigger, bro. He did countless stands for me
Speaker 1: that you know. Half, I ain't Ashford, And you know,
Speaker 1: he's just a good nigga feeling and it ain't about
Speaker 1: uh no straights, it ain't about none of that. He's
Speaker 1: just a good hearted nigger. Yeah, he's a really good
Speaker 1: herded then, so you know, and we can bounce something.
Speaker 1: So you run with game now during this time y'all
Speaker 1: doing your thing, when did you decide that that wasn't
Speaker 1: for you no more? What the street like just as
Speaker 1: far as like the street ship and everything like that,
Speaker 1: when did you decide like when you when did you
Speaker 1: cut all that loose? Really ship? When I got into
Speaker 1: like really after after I really got into the business
Speaker 1: of the music, and then I kind of put in
Speaker 1: my own head that is set up to be a
Speaker 1: safe way for us to that. That's how it said
Speaker 1: it for a ship to generate. But and the streets
Speaker 1: is still beyond in the streets, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But the beef and all that ship sales, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's why probably recently ain't gonna
Speaker 1: lie to you, probably a couple of years ago, a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, because I was always still like
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I won't say like a street nigger. I'm
Speaker 1: not no punk though, you get what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna like you. I ain't gonna let too
Speaker 1: much ship that I'm not comfortable with slide. So I
Speaker 1: just got a different mentality, Like a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: I would say, bro a couple of years ago, a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. It's just maturity, man. As we
Speaker 1: get older, man, we should be evolving, you know, doing
Speaker 1: the same ship we was doing in nineteen twenty years old.
Speaker 1: You know, so you're running with game. Now. Did you
Speaker 1: ever officially signed a Black Wall Street? No, I wasn't
Speaker 1: like that. We was just a movement. I would say,
Speaker 1: We're just a movement, a group of real niggers that
Speaker 1: was moving tough. You know, ship, tour, buses, cars, you
Speaker 1: want to go, you wanna go, We're moving, showing the
Speaker 1: world of the city. And you know, he gave a
Speaker 1: he gave everybody opportunity to make something of themselves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was a hustler man because I
Speaker 1: used to see you in the road when I was
Speaker 1: out there with the glass. I said, I told you
Speaker 1: one that. I said, man, that can't go be somebody everywhere. Well,
Speaker 1: I think I at that mentality just from the hustle game.
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, knowing how to move around
Speaker 1: with a product, and I kind of took that and
Speaker 1: use it as the same way to be had to
Speaker 1: be the right place at the right time. You just
Speaker 1: had to do it. And that's how I did. And
Speaker 1: we took all money and did that. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: So so you kind of was able to use the
Speaker 1: Black Wall Street situation as a condoment to get into
Speaker 1: other places like you met Wayne, you met Baby and
Speaker 1: all those guys to him. Yeah, I made Wayne for
Speaker 1: the first time on a roadway game and I had
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom and find the bathroom. So I
Speaker 1: just went back to the tour. But and Wayne getting
Speaker 1: off his bus and I'm walking by, what's up with it?
Speaker 1: What's up? What's up? What's up? What you're doing? Compliments?
Speaker 1: I just hope the whole game. But I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: rapping at the time as a whole game down here,
Speaker 1: take my never fucking if you're in the city. I
Speaker 1: got see for sure. Then we've been locked in every since.
Speaker 1: Ain't it funny? Wayne? Just a real niggle like that?
Speaker 1: Like and at that time he was one probably the
Speaker 1: biggest star on the planet, though he was the biggest
Speaker 1: story of the planet. This time, it was crazy to me,
Speaker 1: like from watching this nigga been a fan of them too,
Speaker 1: like right here calling me, you feel me? So it
Speaker 1: was kind of like m hm. A couple of times
Speaker 1: he called I was in the hood, like, oh, ain't
Speaker 1: calling blood, hold up? You get me like that? It
Speaker 1: was it was crazy and you're feeling at the time,
Speaker 1: and he was just reaching out to you like that.
Speaker 1: So so tell me this right now, because you eventually
Speaker 1: wound up signing with Cash Money Records, right and you
Speaker 1: and Wayne had a really good relationship, and you see
Speaker 1: that you have signed the Cash Money at the time
Speaker 1: where Baby and Wayne weren't get alone. How was that
Speaker 1: for you? Well, just me and all my guys we
Speaker 1: are were fun with both of them, agrily. You give me.
Speaker 1: So I really just told everybody like this, manya business
Speaker 1: and stay out of ship because I know once them
Speaker 1: guys get cool again, they're gonna they're not gonna forget
Speaker 1: like niggas was acting funny and something that they really
Speaker 1: didn't have nothing to do with. It would be like
Speaker 1: niggas choosing size type of ship like women, and that
Speaker 1: ain't that any how. We was raised at all and
Speaker 1: we love them both. So I just said, we're gonna
Speaker 1: stay out of the way. That's real man, that's real
Speaker 1: man ship. You didn't get involved and didn't have nothing
Speaker 1: to do with you. So who approached you that bird man?
Speaker 1: Just come up to you one thing and say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I want you down this family. Mm hmm. I think
Speaker 1: I was doing the show. I think I was doing
Speaker 1: the show with Khalifa and burd man Um. We're walking
Speaker 1: through passion like doorhead door here and it's like the
Speaker 1: hall way area. I'm coming through this way, you're coming
Speaker 1: through that way. We had a little brief come and says,
Speaker 1: he let me know he wanted sunk with me, gave
Speaker 1: me his number and then walked out. He looked back
Speaker 1: like hey, says and ask you about their business and
Speaker 1: like for show, and we linked in. He taught me
Speaker 1: a lot of ship. He taught me a lot of
Speaker 1: ship Before we even got any business done. He did
Speaker 1: let me know, like we need more bosses in this game.
Speaker 1: Everybody want to wrap, everybody want to do this, Everybody
Speaker 1: want to do that, and you know where are you at?
Speaker 1: Where you're at with it? I'm telling him like I
Speaker 1: got people that that's artists around me that I believe
Speaker 1: in the ship like this. You know, I'm not a
Speaker 1: selfish person. So that's kind of the role that I took.
Speaker 1: And he didn't let me know like this love, you
Speaker 1: feel me like we can take you take your time

Speaker 1: lot of ship from him too. But my whole thing
Speaker 1: with that was too, I didn't want to note they

Speaker 1: and then you start getting more opportunities. One of those
Speaker 1: opportunities you wound up being in the really big movie

Speaker 1: and he wanted works something out to give me in
Speaker 1: the movie. Yeah, that was big too. Like I came
Speaker 1: up with the O G two tone name most of
Speaker 1: the dialogue. You know, it was a big thing for me.
Speaker 1: That's a real big opportunity. And people realized that music
Speaker 1: notoriety is one thing, but when you go on that
Speaker 1: silver screen, it's a level. It's another level of things.
Speaker 1: How did you deal with it? I bet you have
Speaker 1: people coming to you every day. Two Yeah, fact like
Speaker 1: OG two tone definitely bigger than compliments, for sure, definitely
Speaker 1: bigger than compliments. But that's a good thing too, because

Speaker 1: and looked up to, that was like something for them
Speaker 1: like give me my gave me my coodos, my my my,
Speaker 1: my cheer, feeling that they was in tune into something

Speaker 1: You've got some fans stories and somebody that just really
Speaker 1: believed that you O G two tone. Now, niggas believe
Speaker 1: I'm from cranschho Manfia. For real, niggas believe from Crunshaw Maffia.
Speaker 1: So I'm not from crushow Mafia. That's that's how I
Speaker 1: got something to do with the copyrights to the name
Speaker 1: of crunshow Manfia. That's why that's always in the movie.
Speaker 1: So I'm not from Crunshaw Markea. But I just get
Speaker 1: a lot of love, bro, I get a lot of love.
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing like too crazy happened. That's That's that's real dope.
Speaker 1: Because I'm doing a lot of times, man, you would
Speaker 1: be surprised that the people are king different yet you're
Speaker 1: playing a role in the movie versus you being a real,
Speaker 1: actual person. Yeah. Now I feel but like I feel
Speaker 1: if somebody else would have played that road, that they
Speaker 1: would have had different problems. Yeah, I feel like we
Speaker 1: have had different problems. But I feel that role went
Speaker 1: perfect with my image and what people know of me.
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's why it was more acceptable. Well,
Speaker 1: it was the perfect role for you, man, because it
Speaker 1: was it was authentic. It was all think and everybody
Speaker 1: in there, no one love you. I ain't never heard
Speaker 1: about nobody seeing I don't like comfortent minutes. I think everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get a lot of love from that because everybody
Speaker 1: was prob Like. When I saw that, I was like,
Speaker 1: that's the homio. Even different cryps and different people from
Speaker 1: out the town like they was happy about it. It
Speaker 1: was happy to see me. And you feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure that road right there opened up
Speaker 1: a lot more opportunities for you there. I got a
Speaker 1: bunch of ship after that. I did um and ship
Speaker 1: that we find started back working on. Now that's based
Speaker 1: on the O G two tone roll off of the
Speaker 1: out of that movie I did um for tal Well,
Speaker 1: y'all would say fatal Hillary Swaine, Michael Elie, Tyler Turner
Speaker 1: directed by Dian Taylor. Um, I did Snowfall. Shout out
Speaker 1: to m Hinna Singleton John Sigerson. Actually the first time
Speaker 1: he called me, I didn't know who he was for
Speaker 1: me something talking to him and telling me you got
Speaker 1: the movie for me? Mere telling me I don't I
Speaker 1: got the part? You think I should go to do
Speaker 1: some more acting classes and ship like that. I'm like
Speaker 1: for self for sell, I cut off the phone. And
Speaker 1: when I tell my brother Kay like, I'm like, who
Speaker 1: is John Singleton? Thet my my big come with Chili
Speaker 1: Dead went out for me like, you're stupid motherfucker. You
Speaker 1: don't know child single to this nigga. That's more. That's more. This.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Shi said he wanted to do
Speaker 1: a movie that do you know what's crazy? Man? God's
Speaker 1: really shining his flight on you, bro, because you're getting
Speaker 1: opportunities that some people have to work years for and
Speaker 1: they never get them, but they keep falling and too you.
Speaker 1: So that means you got a call. And I think
Speaker 1: some people are really chosen to do the things that
Speaker 1: they're doing life. I think that everybody get the same
Speaker 1: my opportunities, but most people don't. I think more people
Speaker 1: most people take pauses and give up before they get
Speaker 1: to see you know, and me, I never gave up.
Speaker 1: I never took a pause. So I feel like that's why,
Speaker 1: you know, you get to see a lot of good
Speaker 1: things happened for him. That's dope, man. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about complementister. Man. You're married, You've got children, man, right
Speaker 1: and you know this world we're live in here right now,
Speaker 1: we're living a really crazy and chaotic times. Man, Right now,
Speaker 1: what do you think about society in general to day? Man?
Speaker 1: I just think, um, I don't think nothing changed, really.
Speaker 1: I just think it's if you get to see it more,
Speaker 1: that's that's all. I think. You get to see it more.
Speaker 1: I don't think nothing change. I think the world was
Speaker 1: way worse than sneaky years ago. So I think right now, man,
Speaker 1: like you said, I think we're in the day and
Speaker 1: age man, and where everything is broadcast. You know, we
Speaker 1: got the internet, man. Everybody is on the phone. And
Speaker 1: I was with my kids the other day and we're
Speaker 1: sitting and eating dinner. You know, my daughter got her
Speaker 1: phone out and got his phone out, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: can we put our phones up and just talk, like,
Speaker 1: let's talk? You know what I mean? Because I'm guilty
Speaker 1: of that. Sometimes. You know, I'll be sitting there, I'll
Speaker 1: be checking the scores of game. I might be looking
Speaker 1: at the football game. I'm supposed to be out of
Speaker 1: dinner with my wife, you know, And so I don't
Speaker 1: learn to put that phone in my pocket. You know,
Speaker 1: that just happened to I was had at my kids
Speaker 1: at the house that sept my oldest sign. He wasn't there,
Speaker 1: But I'm called myself watching the movie with these little motherfucker's.
Speaker 1: I look around. They all on their phone, watch watching
Speaker 1: something else. Ain't that crazy? Man? It's crazy? And then
Speaker 1: you gotta because they could see anything on there, so
Speaker 1: you kind of gotta monitor money what they're doing, monitor
Speaker 1: with money what they're doing. So, yeah, it's crazy. That's
Speaker 1: the That's another thing I would say that's different right
Speaker 1: now because we didn't have no phones. Like my kids,
Speaker 1: I get them the phone when they get eight years old.
Speaker 1: We didn't have no phones back then, and there we
Speaker 1: had to be in the house to use the phone.
Speaker 1: We went and we use the fucking the the phones
Speaker 1: that you had to put a changing like that. We
Speaker 1: was young, you know, yeah, so that what were so
Speaker 1: accessible for them to see right now, we didn't get
Speaker 1: to see that unless you know, he was just there
Speaker 1: are he was into that type of ship. So it
Speaker 1: was kind of a hidden thing, like the homosexual a
Speaker 1: thing for what I'm saying, like it's open now you
Speaker 1: see more people doing it, and now it's a thing,
Speaker 1: but it was a lot of homoseexes always been. Homo
Speaker 1: sexes are right, yeah, always, yeah, they always have. You know,
Speaker 1: they're a powerful group of people. They pretty much run Hollywood.
Speaker 1: You know. Now it's they don't have to be Now
Speaker 1: it's not a bad thing. Before it was a bad thing.
Speaker 1: Now they say it's not a bad thing. But people
Speaker 1: don't have to hide who they are anymore. And I
Speaker 1: think that's you know I mentioned earlier. I'm really big
Speaker 1: on people living their truth. Be whoever you are. That's
Speaker 1: your right as human being. Just be who you are.
Speaker 1: Don't front only you know, because I have no issues
Speaker 1: with who somebody chooses to love, Like, I don't care
Speaker 1: if it don't bother me at all. Don't hold no
Speaker 1: barrier what I do as a man. So you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about being kids man and you being an entertainer.
Speaker 1: How do you different agate? Like, how do you deal
Speaker 1: with that with your kids? Man? Because your kids may
Speaker 1: say what Dad? You know what? It's almost like one
Speaker 1: of them things your daughter for your son is fifteen,
Speaker 1: he said you smoking weed every day? And he come up,
Speaker 1: I want to smoke weed too. How do you handle
Speaker 1: a little different dynamos? Man, I just be direct with
Speaker 1: my kids. I'd be direct with them, like just because
Speaker 1: I do it. I mean it's good, you know. I
Speaker 1: know they're gonna probably experiment with different things. And I'm
Speaker 1: still I'm not gonna say like I'm gonna let my
Speaker 1: kids do drugs and nothing like that. But I want
Speaker 1: them to be really open with me. I want to
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I don't want them to be
Speaker 1: hiding anything from me. So I'm really direct with things
Speaker 1: like that. They know it's not a good thing. They
Speaker 1: call it the grown up story when they see the
Speaker 1: weed shop or something like that. They're not dumb as
Speaker 1: people think they are. You know, kids are gonna be
Speaker 1: kids are really smarter than those are because of those
Speaker 1: things that they they learned faster. They learned probably even
Speaker 1: faster than we do. It's like you said, we didn't
Speaker 1: have cell phones, gonna let back then. Now they have
Speaker 1: cell phones, you can google and the thing you wanted,
Speaker 1: you let your kids cause us curse. You know what, man,
Speaker 1: I don't make as big as the deal of it
Speaker 1: as I see it, because to me, they're just words
Speaker 1: at the pens up. It depends on what they're doing.
Speaker 1: They come in there and call me a motherfucker. We
Speaker 1: have some problems. But if I hear my daughter in
Speaker 1: a room and she said, oh ship, I dropped something
Speaker 1: like going there and trip on like I'm a browne
Speaker 1: ass man, I'm old though it was in fact that
Speaker 1: my mom still a smack me and my mom if
Speaker 1: I say damn in the house. You know. So I
Speaker 1: was raised a certain way, and I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: different with my kids. I think I think I'm a
Speaker 1: lot more liberal because, like you said, I want my
Speaker 1: kids to have a relationship with me. I don't want
Speaker 1: my kids that have the high ship, you know. I
Speaker 1: want to know what's going on with them. Guys. Man,
Speaker 1: So you know, you like you have a certain level
Speaker 1: of maturity to you know, I noticed because back in
Speaker 1: the day, you had little issues with people and stuff.

Speaker 1: a cool dude. But you know, you can put any
Speaker 1: You can put a mouse in the corner, and the
Speaker 1: mouse is going to try to get out of that corner.
Speaker 1: And that's just nature parent and that's just a lot
Speaker 1: of the things that I that I was put up against.

Speaker 1: you doing with all your little different enterprises? Man? Man, Like,
Speaker 1: I love everything I do realistically, so I'm gonna always
Speaker 1: do it. But my thing is just to create more
Speaker 1: for other people. You feel me like, I love teaching,
Speaker 1: I love giving opportunities. So me, I'm always ain't no
Speaker 1: telling brom I could never be the word that they
Speaker 1: say successful. I can never be that because I'm always
Speaker 1: wanted more. I'm always want a bigger house, I'm always
Speaker 1: on a new car, I'm always want some more money
Speaker 1: you're giving, So I can't even tell you I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be at the teen years because I can't project that big.
Speaker 1: That's the dope. That's the dope thing out of man.
Speaker 1: The longer you keep striving and achieving for more, Man,
Speaker 1: it ain't no ceiling to it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I ain't. I ain't no successful when you got to
Speaker 1: get it, do it again when you could lose it
Speaker 1: or something like that. You get what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just I'm gonna keep going whatever come my way.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take advantage of it. Yeah, So let me
Speaker 1: ask you this, man. I asked a lot of weird questions.
Speaker 1: So if you don't get mad, man, you know, we're
Speaker 1: in a situation right now, man, that where the economy
Speaker 1: it all bubbled up for a lot of people. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody was out there getting They had the unemployment scams going,
Speaker 1: they had the P P P loans going and everything
Speaker 1: and all that money drive up. Right now, Man, where
Speaker 1: would you say, man, if if you've got named to
Speaker 1: be the president of the United States today, Man, what
Speaker 1: would you do different? Man? Man, y'all want to hear
Speaker 1: that from me? Yeah, we do. That's why I asked
Speaker 1: questions all the time. I'm curiously, what's on your mind.
Speaker 1: I would stop a lot of ship. You feel them
Speaker 1: Americans as lazy as a motherfucker from Americans just lazy,
Speaker 1: I would I would put more into people having to
Speaker 1: go out and work and take more out of people
Speaker 1: have been taken care of. Yeah, because that's what happened
Speaker 1: with that. You know, the whole thing with unemployment stuff.
Speaker 1: You had a whole bunch of people, man, that was
Speaker 1: getting unemployment manager never had they never had real job
Speaker 1: in the first place, and so it's kind of the
Speaker 1: people up the deed had real jobs that they exactly.
Speaker 1: You got people that got Section eight that that that
Speaker 1: is that don't need it. You've got people that's you know,
Speaker 1: if people just take advantage of anything that they could get.
Speaker 1: So I would kind of make it. I would kind
Speaker 1: of make it a way to where you really have
Speaker 1: to you gotta work for it. I always thought it
Speaker 1: should be that way. Man. Don't get me wrong. I
Speaker 1: don't want nobody custom me out oft there, but I've
Speaker 1: always thought did a lot of people, especially are people
Speaker 1: we use welfare for a crunch? Yeah, you know, you
Speaker 1: got everything child's a poor welfare everything that we could
Speaker 1: get for free. We don't take advantage of it. That's
Speaker 1: why people come from different countries and get MS and
Speaker 1: billions about this motherfucker because they have a different mind
Speaker 1: frame what they come here for when they come out
Speaker 1: of the line, when they come here to get especially
Speaker 1: where they come from. That's the difference. We could just
Speaker 1: get government assistance, we could do that. They don't have.
Speaker 1: We don't have their mind frame. We could go to
Speaker 1: school for free. We could get loans and can't get
Speaker 1: you know, loan, We can't get loans for houses. Were
Speaker 1: couna get school grants. It is more than houses. They're like,
Speaker 1: it's backwards for us to be funked up out here.
Speaker 1: That's why were That's what I would change that. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what the whole premise like you just said
Speaker 1: some whole premise of school. I'm a big proponent of education, man,
Speaker 1: but I also believe that everybody is not meant to
Speaker 1: go to a for a year universe. You got some
Speaker 1: dudes that's good with their hands. Maybe we have need
Speaker 1: to bring those programs back, like the trade programs back
Speaker 1: for people that want to be carpenters with people that
Speaker 1: want to be plumbers and stuff like that. And that's
Speaker 1: a big thing in mind, man, because right now, you've
Speaker 1: got a lot of people that wind up going to
Speaker 1: school because that's what their mom and their daddy telling
Speaker 1: they can do. So they wind up going to school,
Speaker 1: wasting four or five years and getting the dead on
Speaker 1: top of that. So now not only do they not
Speaker 1: have a degree, or even if they do to get
Speaker 1: a degree, it's some ship that they don't really want
Speaker 1: to do, sitting that, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: they're just sitting there, and I think we got a
Speaker 1: big problem. And I'm glad that you say that because
Speaker 1: you're younger than me. Man, it's a lot of really
Speaker 1: lazy people out There's a lot of lazy motherfucker's out there,
Speaker 1: dogs that don't want to get up and go to work.
Speaker 1: They don't want them. They think somebody is supposed to
Speaker 1: just give them something. I'm pretty sure you know, speaking
Speaker 1: on that, I'm gonna get to this point right here.
Speaker 1: How many friends have you lost, man, because they want
Speaker 1: you to take care of the countless countless? Like I've
Speaker 1: had friends like really had conversations with me like what
Speaker 1: it's working for you, it's not working for me. Type
Speaker 1: of ship for me like it's just crazy. So and
Speaker 1: in that aspect, I just you know Rick Ross saying,
Speaker 1: instead of beefing with you, instead of beefing with your homies,
Speaker 1: just give us some distance. That's what I'm into. I'm
Speaker 1: not in there being mad at the nigger. No how
Speaker 1: they feel, are they energy and not. I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: stay away from them at this point. That's it. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm at with it. That's the best thing to do, man,
Speaker 1: because I tell everybody man when they first that's from
Speaker 1: my son's own up to just my homies. I'll tell them.
Speaker 1: As soon as they took some money, I say, man,
