00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: the book?

52
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: Let's start there.

53
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: I always want to write a book, you know what

54
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I've been doing this for a long time

55
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: you'll been seeing me. I'm been knowing how happy motherfuckers

57
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: it's it's just it's just that time, you know. And

58
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: it was very difficult when it was doing the book,

59
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: me and Soorren Baker, he wrote it with me. My

60
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: mom was she got diagnosed with cancer the time I

61
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 4: was writing this book. So it was just like it was.

62
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: It was very, very very I had a very hard

63
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: time trying to finish it. But we you know, we

64
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: broke through. We finished it. You know what I'm saying,

65
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: Rest in peace and here we are. So I always

66
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,640

Speaker 5: You know your your life in the industry was great,

70
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 5: but it's the stories before the industry. Yeah, that made

71
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 5: that made the juicy j that even even more interesting.

72
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, ye what made you?

73
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 5: What made you want to name you a memoir after

74
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 5: the first solo album?

75
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: I mean it talks about it. I mean, it's chronicles, it's

76
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: my life, you know what I'm saying, telling everything about

77
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: what's going on. So I mean I just used it.

78
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: It was perfect, you know what I'm saying, and it

79
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: matches everything you know from my story and everything, so

80
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: it's perfect fit. That's I looked at it.

81
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Was there anything that you had to take out? You

82
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: know we've been reading, you know a lot of our

83
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: OG's in this game. I've been writing books from Gez

84
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: to fat Jo or the recent ones. Was anything that

85
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 2: you had to take out because you were so brutally

86
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: honest in this book?

87
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a few things. Man, it's I'm not gonna

88
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: say no names, but it was some some you know,

89
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: I had some people coming to me about killing themself

90
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 4: in the book. It's more than likely like three or

91
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: four people I had put in the book, and then

92
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: when they read it, it was like, you know, like

93
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: the lawyers and stuff like, man, you can't put all

94
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: this stuff in it. And then I talked to some

95
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: of the people and they didn't want me to do that,

96
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: so I took it out.

97
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: And you never tried cocaine, No, contrary to popular belief.

98
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: You know, you never tried cocaine. But you talk about

99
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: why in the book. Can you touch on that a

100
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 5: little bit?

101
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was when I was like a kid, I

102
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: was watching TV and I've seen this basketball player named

103
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: Lynn Byats that's right. And they said, oh, Lint Bias,

104
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: he died on cocaine. And I was like, looking at you,

105
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: like cocaine. I just you know, I didn't know what

106
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: it was. I was like cocaine. I was like, I

107
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: ain't never doing cocaine. Like when I seen that, that's

108
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: stuck in my head. I said, if I feel I

109
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: just felt like if I did it, I die. And

110
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: then like soon as right after that, I you know,

111
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: I would think I could have been I don't know,

112
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: I could have been thirteen fourteen, And this is the

113
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: older I got, you know, I started getting approached and myth.

114
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: It's like I would see people in the street. They'd

115
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: be like, hey, may want some coke, want this one that?

116
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: And I was like, first thing came to my mind,

117
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: like that's that stuff that Lin Bias took. I said,

118
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: hell no, I ain't taking that ship no matter what

119
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: ware coming. Yeah, fuck that.

120
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 5: And you always seem to have like a sense of

121
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: self awareness about yourself that other people around you didn't

122
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 5: seem to have.

123
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: How is that self awareness helped are hurt you in life?

124
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: Uh? You said, help all hurt?

125
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, helped all hurt I don't really.

126
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: Think it hurt me. It may I think it kept

127
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: me to survive. I survived off that I would have.

128
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 4: It's weird. I would have these two voices in my head.

129
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: I had one voice be like, hey, hey, hey do

130
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 4: this do that smashed that without the rubb or whatever.

131
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 4: And then I have another voice be like, man, no,

132
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 4: like you know what I'm saying. You know what happened easy,

133
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: you know. I'm like I had like real shit. I

134
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: had these voices in my head telling me like one

135
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: one is telling me to go, one is telling me, nah,

136
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: you might don't want to do that because you know

137
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 4: this girl might be this, you might get it pregnant

138
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: then and child support and all, you know, just all

139
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 4: kind of crazy shit even just whatever, not just saying

140
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: just with females, just with it in the street stuff.

141
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: You know. It's times I you know, I talk about

142
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: it in the book. I had to strap about to

143
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: blow somebody ass. Then like one minute, something's telling me

144
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: the gold and something's like, nah, I man, you might

145
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: don't want to do that because this person, you know,

146
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: he might snitch on you. Can you trust this nigga

147
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: you with? You know what I'm saying, so stuff like that, man,

148
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: And it's good that that happened like that because I'm

149
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 4: here today.

150
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: Because the reason I say the self awareness hurt is

151
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 5: because sometimes you might be too critical on yourself.

152
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: I see that throughout the book, like yeah, whether it's about.

153
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 5: Oh three six music is whack, And I'm like, I

154
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: don't remember that time, like you know what I mean,

155
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: like just stuff like that, like you might have been

156
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 5: a little too hard on yourself.

157
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: Well, I'm very hard on myself, you know, right, I'm

158
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: very hard on myself. I didn't say it was whack.

159
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: I don't think. I think I said that it didn't

160
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: sound right at the time when we was in LA

161
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: because we was lost in it, you know, we was

162
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 4: lost in the sauce. We didn't. I mean, I felt

163
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: like when I was in LA for so long, I

164
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: just you know, I lost my taste of sound and

165
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: music and what the what the wave was and everything.

166
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm usually on top of

167
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: that and never never fell off of that. But when

168
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: I was in La party and kicking and drinking so

169
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: much and popping peels, I lost it all. You know,

170
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: I'm doing music that was I was stuck you know

171
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: what I mean. You know, like some people move forward.

172
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: I was I was stuck in like two thousand and

173
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,400

174
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I was stuck in that era. And then

175
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: when it was two thousand and eight, music was totally different.

176
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: What got you what you got? What you got you

177
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: out of that that slump.

273
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,160

282
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,720

00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 4: if I if I didn't go through all the stuff,

341
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying in North Memphis, I wouldn't

342
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: be where I am today. No facts I was gonna ask.

343
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: You know, there was one time they used to say

344
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 2: that that the music that you guys put out was the.

345
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Monic and that was like that the thing. How bad

346
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: did that affect y'all.

347
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: Man to me the musical, I mean, I'm a church nigga, man,

348
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 4: So I mean I looked at the ship like, you know, like,

349
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 4: y'all nigga ain't no devilation. You ain't nobody fucking you

350
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, worship no devil touching a Weiji

351
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 4: board or whatever fuck y'all think it is. Nah, I

352
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: just looked at it like, hey, man, it is what

353
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: it is. But we I felt like we had to

354
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: clean the name up. So we changed the name of

355
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: three six of My Feet because I felt like it

356
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 4: just because it was everybody was scared. REGULATED was like,

357
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I don't know. We might want

358
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: to say, we might don't. So it was, you know what,

359
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: him man, We changed the name up, and then things

360
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 4: started coming together, you know.

361
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 5: Even saying the book, you know that the three six

362
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: Mafia thing, the devil worst but thing was was kind

363
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: of a gimmick.

364
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 4: That's what I felt, you know what I'm saying. I

365
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: didn't see nobody works with the devil. So I just

366
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: looked at it like a gimmick, you know. I didn't

367
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 4: look at it like it was really worshman. The devil,

368
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But I mean, like, Memphis

369
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: was a dark city, so it was a dark time.

370
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 4: So you know, Triple six MAFI was perfect for that

371
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 4: at the time, you know what I'm saying, because mephis

372
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: is still dark. But it was like just it's crazy

373
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 4: and not and back then, but you know that's what

374
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I was coming from that, so it was cool.

375
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 4: But then like later on, we started making you know,

376
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 4: more music, and you know, a couple more I don't

377
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: think we brought this out. I'll called the end. We

378
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 4: had changed everything went from Triple six to three six

379
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: and it was better, you know, our sound had we

380
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: stepped that game up on the sound. We had a

381
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 4: couple of records on there that was a little bit

382
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 4: more radio friendly. Nobody wanted to play I should on radio,

383
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: so we had a couple of records on that radio friendly.

384
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, man, you know, it's just about growth. You know,

385
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: I was going to.

386
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: Ask how difficult was that coming up? You know, because

387
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: the sound was different, it was a sound that we

388
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: haven't heard before. How difficult was it breaking into different

389
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: markets outside of Memphis?

390
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 4: And we didn't give a fuck. We just did what

391
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: we did. You know, people caught on you know what

392
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: I'm saying. We we you know, we just experimented with

393
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 4: a lot of things. Man. We me and Paul was

394
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: one of the most greatest producers of all times. I mean, man,

395
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 4: we would experiment. I can't. I don't want to give

396
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 4: all my formula away, you know what I'm saying. You

397
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: gotta you know, read the book and uh, you know,

398
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: pay for that. But but we we experiment with a

399
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: lot of different things. Man, we we We are a

400
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: real artist, you know what I'm saying. We just niggas

401
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: is walking in there and just make a beat. We

402
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: we put it bringing, We bring the pain. You know,

403
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: you might walk in our study. You might see a

404
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: whole fucking orchestra in that motherfucker, you know what I'm saying.

405
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: And like we just had our minds. Was was just

406
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: bigger than just making a couple of beats and that

407
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 4: was it. Like I had to ask you to one hundred.

408
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: I would make beats on that, but then I would

409
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: add extra shit to it. Like I can't tell you

410
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: how I did it, but you know it's a secret

411
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 4: how how we made our music.

412
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: Well, the formula to me was Memphis.

413
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: It was myth.

414
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: But that's what I love about the book too. How

415
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: you detail Memphis music history?

416
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, everything, everything, everything, I sound everything came

417
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: from the city, you know what I'm saying. But just

418
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: the way we made our beats, we had like a

419
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: certain kind of formula. We made our beats like you know,

420
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: some people make they beat certain ways, some people make

421
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. We had our way. We

422
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: made our beats because they're like, I ytata make y'all

423
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: bease sile like this, I ytta make y'all kicks out

424
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: like I gotta make y'all you know what I'm saying,

425
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: snare sounding like that. So we was very We made

426
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 4: our own We created our own snares, We created our

427
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: own kicks. You see what I'm saying. We didn't get

428
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: our kicked from somebody else. We created it.

429
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: Now, you talk about the drug use in the book,

430
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: and you know you just mentioned it. Now, what got

431
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: you to slow down on.

432
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: The drug use?

433
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960

Speaker 4: Yeah it was it was. It was getting crazy. I

00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 4: remember I was at a show in Atlanta, and I

439
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 4: was coming from Atlanta. I was doing a lot of niggs.

440
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: I was drinking at Bombay. Man. I was just like

Speaker 4: three six miles here, how can we get this group

450
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: back together and we could figure shit out, you know

00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And so you know, that was just

452

Speaker 4: and we did the show and I was sweating on stage,

464
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: and man, it was just like crucial. So then I

465
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: remember we went to Atlanta kind of just kind of

466
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: moving forward, cause we were flying all over the places

467
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: when we went to Atlanta. Because when I got back

468
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: to the room, I took the Zaan, so I was cool.

469
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 4: I was like Jesus fu. So then I went we

470
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 4: went to Atlanta and I made a mistake when left

471
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: the Zans in the room again and we did to

472
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: do the show. I just made it. At that day, man,

473
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: I was really feeling really down. Bro. I was like

474
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: just like slumped over and I was like, man, I'm

475
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 4: not feeling good man. And I was outside the club

476
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: and I was telling Mike will I was like, man,

477
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: I left my Zans in the fucking room hotel room.

478
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 4: He said, oh, man, I know you. I know you're

479
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 4: going through it. And after that, I was like, man,

480
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: I can't do this shit no more. And my manager,

481
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: my cousin took me to a doctor and a doctor

482
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: told me how to get off the X.

483
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: Did you have to go to rehab or was it

484
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: something that.

485
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 4: He gave you. Oh? No, Well, he just told me

486
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 4: I was taking a whole one. He said, take a

487
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 4: half of it. He said, take a half and you'll

488
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: gradually just get off of it. That's all really. So

00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 4: I just started taking half and I just gradually just

490
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,160

00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, I don't. I didn't see nothing going

573
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: drastic with the pills, but the cocaine was crazy. Then

574
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: when I seen Lord on the heron, I was like, oh,

575
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: this is getting a little different. Now, it's getting extra serious.

576
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: And that's when he just kind of listened. He pretty

577
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 4: much left the group on his own.

578
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: Almost the misreading the book. I thought there was one

579
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: point Lord didn't do drugs.

580
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 4: Right, and at a point he didn't, you know what

581
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: I'm saying. At the point he didn't, he just smoked

582
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: a little weed and then he just, you know, things

583
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: start going up, you know what I'm saying. The more

584
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: money was start getting excuse me, things started going up,

585
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 4: and I was just trying the man. I was the

586
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: main dude, just trying to hold you know, everybody back

587
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: from doing that. I called the White Devil, you know

588
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, because it was really fucking shit up,

589
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 4: and it was it was destroying the group, you know

590
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And then you know, things advanced. We

591
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 4: won an Oscar and then that was it. You know,

592
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: we went Hollywood, and.

593
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: Shit, how difficult was it to talk back to the

594
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: members during that time when everybody went their own ways

595
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 2: and everybody was having their own success. How difficult was

596
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: it to say, you know what, let's put the group

597
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: in front of everything else.

598
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: It was very difficult, man, because they didn't listen to me.

599
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 4: They just laugh at me that I was talking.

600
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: Shit, who's the most difficult to talk to?

601
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:35,840

Speaker 4: the car and the nigga had like we got pulled over, right,

606
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: they didn't find nothing in the car. And then I

607
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: looked into his part and I said, nigga, I said, man,

608
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: you better be glad they didn't check your motherfucker pocket

666
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 4: lot of xanaxy stuff, so you know, it.

667
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: Was around already.

668
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 4: And I used to when I used to was flying

669
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: a lot, and I was talking to this doctor met

670
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 4: in Hollywood. I was like, man, flying and ship, I

671
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: probably need something to calm myself down. Or somebody said

672
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 4: I got some funny and he just gave me the

673
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: xen X, you know what I'm saying. So it kind

674
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 4: of went from a little conversation. I was like, Okay,

675
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 4: I know, you know, crunching them take xan x, you

676
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.

677
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: So it went from there, you.

678
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying. I never I never really seen

679
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 4: them go crazy like off the chain on some some

680
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 4: pills or even some lean you know what I'm saying.

681
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: It was kind of sleepy, kind of you know, slum

682
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: or whatever. But even that was like the cocaine. I

683
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 4: wouldn't do no because I felt like the cocaine was

684
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 4: more like the raised drug. So I was like, I

685
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 4: I ain't never had to tell these niggas to slow

686
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: down on the lean of stuff. Like that, So I

687
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: guess this might be cool to you know, Papa Zana

688
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,960

689
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: She feel good. So it gradually just kind of slowly

690
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 4: but surely took me over, you know what I'm saying.

691
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,840

Speaker 4: gonna be like Stacks, and I'm a following the footsteps

728
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: of Albil al Bell was like he was running Stacks

729
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 4: the black dude, And I got the book. I read

730
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: like I read that book like back and forth and

731
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 4: back and forth because I was so interested how to

732
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 4: hide this nigga from you know, he was actually from

733
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 4: he was from d c our Bell was from DC

734
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: and I was just he moved to Mimpus and he

735
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: started running stacks. So I was just so interested that,

736
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 4: like how this man run a whole record label. So

737
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: I was just reading about what he did, and I

738
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 4: took I talked about my book everything that he did.

739
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: I did a lot of stuff, you know, in my life,

740
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 4: my career to follow him his footsteps in their work,

741
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So that's that was the

742
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 4: big influence that I had.

743
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 5: I don't want to get was too much away from

00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: I think I wouldn't. I wouldn't call it a curse.

00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: they all they took care of me.

00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: Man.

788
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: They made me who I am today.

789
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: You your granddad had, do you have? It was two

790
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: families that all had the same names.

791
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had had one family Lymphis and

792
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: I think the other one the other one was like

793
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: in Mississippi, and so he had named him the same names.

794
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: So that's wow.

795
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he couldn't you remember? He remember the names?

796
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Like, my mom name was Shirley,

797
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: so he named his other daughter he had somewhere else Shirley.

798
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 4: So he can remember the names.

799
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: When did y'all find that out? Uh?

800
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: My mom told me and my aunts told me. They

801
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 4: told me a lot of a lot of stuff about him.

802
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 4: I mean, he was he passed away before I was born,

803
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: But they told me a lot of stuff about him,

804
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: and I just felt like, like going back to mental

805
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: mental health. You know my mom, you know what I'm saying.

806
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: For her to come from that kind of situation, you know,

807
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 4: I could tell, like you know, she had been damaged

808
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 4: by that. You know what I'm saying. I could tell

809
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: doing her movements and things she did. She was upset

810
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 4: about that. You know, she told me her dad never

811
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 4: told her he loved her. You know what I'm saying.

812
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: So that's bad, man, you know what I'm saying. So

813
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 4: like I said, man, mental health starts with in the

814
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: beginning of your life, and it can affect you later.

815
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 4: It does affect you later on in your life.

816
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: You ever think about while our parents never said I

817
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: love you, like, why was it so difficult for our

818
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: parents to be like, I love you? Because when you

819
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: hear the story all the time about our generation saying

820
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: their parents never said I love you ever, because that's

821
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: my daughter, I say it all the time, I said overly.

822
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: But you know, I think we take for granted.

823
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 5: And like the way you're talking about mental health, the

824
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 5: way I talked about mental health, we're the first generation

825
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 5: that has the luxury of healing. The generation before they

826
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 5: were scratching and surviving, you know what I mean.

827
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 3: Like they weren't thinking about that kind of stuff. They

828
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: weren't thinking about emotions.

829
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: And all that. My mom, my mom told me, she

830
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 4: told me she loved me, though did too.

831
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: My dad didn't.

832
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: My dad didn't. But now later on, later on in life, Yeah,

833
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: they get it to you.

834
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we need that though. You know, the kids

835
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 4: need that love. Man, you know what I'm saying. Absolutely,

836
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And like I said, and

837
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: that affects us later on our life. You know, you're

838
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: thinking about Like my mom talked about that, and I

839
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: was like, damn, I felt like she was really she

840
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: was really messed up about that, like like he never

841
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: told me he loved me, you know what I'm saying.

842
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 4: She was saying, and she would have tears in her eyes.

843
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's terrible, man, you know what I'm saying.

844
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 4: She had to go through that, and she really never

845
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: talked to any about it. It was all she was

846
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: always quiet about a lot of different things. And that's

847
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: why I said, a lot of times, we just need

848
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 4: to be needing to have somebody to talk to, you know,

849
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 4: like a therapist. I have a therapist. You know what

850
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 4: I'm saying. Her, You talk about therapists like I got one.

851
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 4: I've had a couple of, you know what I'm saying,

852
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 4: and uh, we need that man. You know what I'm saying.

853
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: You know we we definitely need to pray and pray

854
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: to God most definitely, that's number one. And if we

855
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: need to have somebody to talk to, we need to

856
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: have somebody to talk to to try to help get

857
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: over that. Because I feel like if she maybe would

858
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: have had if she would have talked to talk to

859
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 4: somebody about that and somebody maybe like could understand her

860
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: and listen to her things that maybe had been different.

861
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: My mom was closed off. She didn't really she had

863
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 4: kind of just closed off, you know what I'm saying,

864
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,320
