Man, 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.640 it's beautiful thing to see, you know, when our media 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.080 begins to expand and expound from people that are from 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.920 the culture. Man. And I definitely have seen you grinding 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.760 for several years. Man, And I'm just happy to be here. Yes, sir, 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.400 I'm kind of frustrated because I can't even buy your 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.199 ship online. You don't have a website. Now, we keep 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.360 it where you got to come get it straight from us. Man. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.720 That creates our own ecosystm. Where can I buy some 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.440 some dope? Ara shit. Oh. I feel like everything that's 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.839 on the internet is fake. It's all of it. It's 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:51.839 all bout legged the irony of that. But you have 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:53.600 to go to Oakland. Yeah, you have to go to 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.200 Oakland or tap into the you know the intricacies of 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.880 our ecosystem. Man. One of us me, and you got 0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:01.600 to get it from us directly. I think we did 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.360 that intentionally, though. I think a lot of I've seen 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.320 a lot of clothing companies come and go just based 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.800 off the fact of they've been too accessible, and then 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.560 people bring the value of the brand down by just 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.560 frivolously wearing it and not representing it as h for 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.000 the culture. Like we represent a straight, straight, strong harm 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.880 strong arm on a culture. So you got to get 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.920 it from us. It's kind of like we got evalidated, 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.360 Like let me see you dope air approved. Right, Yeah, 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.600 we got you, Like you either got to go and 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.360 buy it or be tapped in, be tapped in. So 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.800 you know, I'm gonna get you something I'm not tapped in. 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.200 One's definitely tapped in, man, I definitely get your packages 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.480 and everything. Man, how's everything? Though? I obviously got the 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.800 new album coming out this month? Right every week, bro, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.600 we're dropping. You know. That's the thing with us right now. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.880 We're doing this line this year hashtag PTA, which is 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.680 pimp the Algorithms. So we're dropping. We're dropping an album 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.520 every other week, every other every two weeks, there's an album. Yeah, 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.760 so just dropping. So for you obviously. You know, we 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.760 think of the barrier. I think of like independent grind. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.840 I think of independent rappers with twenty thirty albums, right. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:12.799 You know, for you what was the thought process behind, 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.240 you know, trying to figure out how to adjust that 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.200 Bay Area grind to the algorithm to you know, it's 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.120 just pta man. You know, right now we living in 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.679 times where you have hundreds and thousands of artists that 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.520 drop music consistently and it's so easy. There's no middle 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.639 man now. It's back in the day it's hard to 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.680 drop album right, Definitely difficult to drop an album back then. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.200 Now to take an advantage, you have so many different 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.720 DSPs and other ways to get your music to the masses. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.560 Our main thing is just I'm one of those artists 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.600 where I really love music. I really love being in 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.560 the studio creating, working, and that's a daily thing for me, 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.600 even in the midst of all the other businesses. If 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.000 you do it for free, I love it, right. So 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.760 my main thing is I still get high off creating. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.880 You know, when I go in the studio, I feel 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.720 like it's my first day still, right, and I go 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.520 in there with something to prove. I going there with 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.480 something to create. I'm not one of those dudes that 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.640 go on the lab and just you know, party bullshit, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.359 It's not my thing. I'm like, dude, I'm in here 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.919 creating I really like and with my craft. I love 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.840 it like that. So saying all that to say, you 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.200 look in your email, you look at hundreds and you know, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.920 thousands of songs like no, they're just sitting. Why not 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.919 put these out? Why not finish them? Why not? Why 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.160 just get them out? You know, get them out, and 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.919 you never know what can happen. Somebody can You can 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.200 wake up in the morning and your song is gone viral, 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.200 somebody has done a TikTok to it, somebody wants to 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:37.960 put it in a movie. You know. And as we 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.160 grow and as we expand and expound, the others around 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.000 us that have been in the creative field they do 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.560 as well. So you have directors that may be working 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.080 on music, that may be working on movies, a lot 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.040 of things in Northern California right now with you know, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.000 the Blind Spotting. Ryan Coogler is a childhood friend of mine, 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.720 And these are people that reach out like, yo, I 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.800 need some music for this for us, So why not 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.360 put it out? Man? And you know, like I say, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.600 hashtag piece he pimped algorithms. My biggest advice to any 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.280 artists out there, there's no perfect time to drop music. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.160 So stop waking yourself and stop thinking it. Stop overthinking it, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.520 you know, and over analysts can cause paralysis, yep, and 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.160 you'll be able to Then you stuff and then you 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.920 get tired of the ship that you know is hot 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.680 because you're like, man, it's just old. Now get it out. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.480 Then it don't come out, and then get the music out, man, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.600 Get the music to the people. Let the fans decide. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.560 Push the music out, and if it don't work, drop 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.640 some more shit. And you're not being held or held 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.920 accountable to all men. Your last project was trashed. We 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.320 don't want to listen to nothing else. Man. Just keep working, man, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.720 you know, keep grinding. Man. That's you know, if you're 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.560 an artist and this is what you love to do, 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.719 do it. I love it man. For you, you've obviously 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.960 evolved into such a leader of the Bay. Like when 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.359 I think of the Bay Area, I think of you, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.039 I think of forty. I think of a couple guys 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.600 who are just kind of like I feel like on 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.919 all levels, being an og I always see you embracing 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.279 the younger generation. I always see you kind of evolving 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:01.159 the hustle, whether it's doing content now we're doing the store, 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.400 the closing line, still obviously keeping your finger on the 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.440 post of the music. Shit for you, like what motivates 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.880 you to just keep the hustle strong? Man, I feel 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.560 like you know it's in you. It ain't on you, you 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:14.839 you know what I mean? Like I said, man, I 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.440 love it. You have to really love what you do, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.160 you know, to continue to do it, especially when you're 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.320 doing it and it's not instant gratification. It's not instant 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.880 monetary you know, consumption and things like that. We really 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.400 just do it, man, we love it, you know with 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.120 me and UNC which he's here, gonna come on and 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.679 you know and chill. But embracing the younger guys, showing 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.240 the younger guys. Look, there's no age limit in it. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.720 It's no there's no expiration date. And creativity, you know 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.120 what I'm saying, that's real, and remain creative, continue to 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.440 keep doing I tell people Quincy Jones helped create Thriller 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.480 at fifty years old. That's wildest thing, you know what 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.400 I'm saying. And that's that's one of his biggest contributions 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.800 to music and one of the biggest songs in music. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.040 You think about the Asian dude who just won the 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.120 Best Actors last night, he was like he was the 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.839 little kid Jones. I'm seeing that. Yeah, they hugged and 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.880 reenacted kind of like that same thing, which is kind 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.080 of crazy. Yeah, but that that's like, that's what it 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.640 is like. You know, you look at icons and legends, 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.960 like Knives winning this first Grammy a couple of years ago, 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.400 after all of the things that he's done, after after 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.159 was written, like we we look at these things and 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.840 we say, look at what our icons have been doing. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:36.360 I come under as you eluded, uh, the e forties 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.839 and you know the two shorts, Mac Dre's, Nicotina's and 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.880 the several of the the icons that have done, Uh, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.520 they have pioneered what it is to be an independent artist. 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.880 So just following that blueprint and then inoculating the things 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.000 that I'm doing to show some of the younger guys. Look, 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.400 I don't have to just start with music. We have 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.960 a clothing store, I have a nightclub, I have a museum, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.719 I have nail shops. I didn't know, you had a museum, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:05.720 the Dope Air Experience. So it's just a canvas that 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.920 we're gonna allocate to other schools and everything. We're opening 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.160 up our school and this summer the Dope Air Academy, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.360 which is just a it's like a course to teach 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.040 entrepreneurialism and other things to help these people, these young 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.520 kids jump the curve to be able to say, dude, 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.760 we got to start our kids early. We got to 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.800 start our kids in position to say due, let's get 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.200 you in the game early. One thing with us in 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.680 the culture that we come from, sometimes our parents have 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.400 taught us like you're too young for that, instead of 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.280 this is how you do it. Don't touch that. You're 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.360 too young to that. Nah. We have to change that 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.760 narrative and break that monotony of not teaching and not educating. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.920 So I'm very you know, I'm huge on that. So 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.160 that's all it is with me, man in a nutshell, 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.480 is just keep leading that, keep going and embrace the 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.520 next generation. Don't hog space so long, and embrace there's 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.200 room forever everybody. Yeah, come on, man, Yeah, for sure 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.720 for you. I feel like San Francisco and the Bay 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.120 and Oakland were probably as heavily impacted by the pandemic 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.280 as like a lot of cities, because you know, with 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.800 extreme wealth comes extreme poverty. When I go to the Bay, 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.520 because I try to make it out there probably like 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.560 four or five times a year for Empire shit, and 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.080 it feels like like, at least in the city, it 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.040 feels like a lot of energy has kind of gotten 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.640 pulled out of it. Now every time I go, everyone's like, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.120 it's Oakland's where you want to be. Oakland's where you know, 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.000 the night life is still thriving. And you know, for 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.640 you being somebody from Oakland and just kind of assessing 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.640 like the state of the Bay as a city, as 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.560 a as a metropolitan area rather, how do you feel 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.480 like you feel like it's bouncing back at all? Or 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.040 because because you know, I was at trying to go 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.320 to a wal fucking Walgreens in San Francisco and that 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.960 ship was just not open because of the the law. 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.440 You know, everyone was stealing out of there. It's tough, man. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.800 And before we address the secondary, we must address the primary. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.720 You know, we're in the economical deficit is definitely hasn't 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.280 affected and impacted and most of the time when this happens. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.480 You hear the wealthy complain about the loss of their 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.640 wages and riches and things of their businesses that are 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.920 slowing down. But the flip sides to that is what 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.280 about those that don't have those businesses to be affected? Right, 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.320 So if poverty is how they're affected, So if poverty, 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.320 if the wealthy are being affected, imagine how impactful and 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.520 affected people living in poverty. The poverty and so what 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.280 that does is that induces all of the other things. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:49.160 Crime goes up, you know, the violence and the impoverished mindset. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.120 So in that mind state, you look at a lot 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.280 of the people that are involved that are trying to 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.640 rise above their areas that they're coming from. It's it's 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:02.079 it becomes crucial, man, it becomes u It's a sad state. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.120 You know. It's a sad state where I can't come 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.559 visit you at your store because I'm worried about if 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.360 my windows are gonna get broken into. I can't come, uh, 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:16.079 patronize your nightclub because I don't know if I'm gonna 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.280 get rib going leaving my club, you know what I'm saying, 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.920 leaving the club. So that's the the climate and the sentiment, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.160 the sentiments that we that we deal with and we 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.240 have to factor into these equations. But you can't blame 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.439 them for doing what they're doing out of an act 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.960 of survival. Yeah, I mean that's and that's that's the 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:33.760 other the other side of the coin, Like the law, 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.680 I think it's you could steal under a thousand dollars, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.160 Like if you have no money and you're starving, and 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.440 you could go get your food and get your whatever 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.160 you need and nothing gonna happen to you. I mean, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.640 you're gonna do it or not, you know what I mean, 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.439 You're gonna We we have to stop being so judgmental 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:56.720 and judging right or wrong in situations that's either starved. Yeah, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.040 it's like context to every situation, like you know what 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.760 I'm saying, and and and there's people who are going 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.240 to take advantage of that who might not be starving. Yeah, definitely, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.079 most definitely. You know, it's hard to not be empathetic. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.000 But then it's also understanding that you know, I don't 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.160 I don't want to be naive to the situations that's 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.400 going on. So yeah, like I say, you know, there 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.040 is is what it is, man, and you just you 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.240 just hope, you know, keep your fingers crossed, and hope 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.200 that you and your family are protected man, and that 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.760 people find their way. And then as someone like myself 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.599 as an influencer, continue to keep leading by example to 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.520 show people how to create your own wells right and 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.520 you know, and creating creating those wells, you can quench 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.640 the thirst of many in your village.

Like? 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:01.040 Like people don't. People love the game until the rules 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.439 hit them and now they want to change the rules. Bro, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.640 we in it. We know what we signed up for. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.160 We know where we live, and we know.

And knowing is 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.240 immune to You're not above it, like you're you're you're 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.920 not above and I don't care what you're doing if 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.280 you if you in this, you know what it is. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.680 It's just like if you in the game, and you 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.640 signed up for something, but you got to come even 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.760 when it ain't in your favor. So as I say, 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.439 you know, my, my, my, uh my public service announcement, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.400 you know, to the bippers out there, like hey man, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.840 if you guys, you guys hit this card.

You know, some of the guys, 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:52.040 you know, these young guys, they're the they're the mass crusaders. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.760 So sometimes you may know them and don't even know 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.200 that you know them, and they'll follow you and be like, 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.760 oh man, my bad, unc I didn't know, and you know, 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.360 come drop it off.

She was able to steal ace 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.320 all of her finals and everything straight A's it was 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.920 like her homeworker notes her notes, and it was a 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.440 week before finals, you know, and she's she's, uh, she's 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.400 she's such a chap man, and she's like she's she 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.200 is so devoted to school man, and getting into she 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.680 wants to go to you know, like an m I 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.280 T or things like that. So she's she's super dedicated 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.680 still as the finals straight A's man and I'm proud 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.120 of her. Which, uh, Golden State Warrior. At any time 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.000 you answered, you think you can get to answer the phone, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:42.080 It's difficult, Like if real close someone, if someone said 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.480 I have a million dollars, you have to get a 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:51.199 warrior to answer the phone. Who who you call? Clay Clay? Uh? 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.600 I mean that's that's a good warrior to you know, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.720 you know those are my brothers like you, I mean 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.800 like you would have to give me a time frame, 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.440 like all give me a window, like give me a 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.000 window of time, like you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, So so Gary's Gary's gonna answer 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.880 any time? Were you had with his dad? Yes? Of course, 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:21.120 GPS from Oakland at all that ship talking me and Steph. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.240 Me and Steph are like super close, Like me and 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.800 Steph have a super close relationship. Man. But you know 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.840 this is we have to be mindful of who Steph 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.280 Curry is. So you know I'm saying like I'm just 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.800 gonna call you. Yeah.

You know, I would 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.400 be lying, uh, but well he text back and when 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.360 he call, of course. So it just has to be 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.520 a time window though. Man. But I pretty have a 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.280 great relationship with all of the fellas, man, you know, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.320 you know, Dre's little bro, and we just continue to 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.480 keep building. Man, you know, I love those guys. For you, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.800 is it frustrating as a Warriors fan to see they're 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.440 like the number one bandwagon team now in the last 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.440 decade And I'm like, nobody was rooined for the fucking 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.200 Warriors when it was Manta Ellis and David Lee, and 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.760 then before that it was like Stephen Jackson, you know, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.680 even when it was like run dmc right, nobody was there. 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.640 But now it's like they're like, you know, the the team. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.840 But do you get frustrated to see like bandwagon Warrior 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.440 fans not at all? That's what winning does? You know? 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.720 You you want to be able to say, man, let's 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.160 continue to expand the bandwagon. Man, let's keep going that 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.680 lets us know that we're winning. You have Yankee fans 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.400 that probably can't tell you one person on the team. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.680 I just love the striking Cowboys fans. Cowboys fans, you know, 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.760 all of these franchise man, you know, the Patriots of course, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.160 the Lakers fans. I've seen so many Bay Area people 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.000 that I know that were Lakers, al most definitely was 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.440 lak Now they're warrior fans, a lot of them, and 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.080 you're full of ship. So I grew up my dad 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.560 watched them. Yeah, yeah, magic Johnson. I had a Magic 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.000 Johnson jersey at four, Like, come on, man, cut it out. 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.000 But uh, you know, it is what it is, like 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.920 you that's what comes with winning, man. I definitely salute 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.360 the fans that were there doing the tough times, and 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.840 you know, that's what I'm happy about. I'm just happy 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.240 to see some of those people still going strong. Yeah, 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.240 for sure, shout out what was his name, Bertrand's what 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.160 was the guy's name? The big German fucking Center, the 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:28.600 White Boys Lithuania. He died, He had to die so 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.360 could exist. Yeah, and people forget that he was an 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.320 All Starr. Just he wasn't an All Star, but he 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:41.360 was good. But he led the league and uh yeah, 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.320 pretty good man, pretty good, dug. It's like so fucking 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.680 Lithuanian and something like that. He was pretty good. And 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.800 his wow, his girl, oh my god, we gotta see 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.280 we could find a picture of her. Man. His girl 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:57.800 was so fine. Oh my god. So yeah, I remember 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.360 those days. Yo. If someone comes to the bay you're visiting, 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.399 what's the advice so they don't get bitped? Are we 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.440 like you lying? You get your rental car, you got 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.560 all your luggage. Let's say I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.160 Am I taking all the luggage out of a car 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.480 putting it in a restaurant with me? Most definitely? Okay. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.840 When you pull up, roll your windows down. Windows. You 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.159 know most people pull up and be like, roll the 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.399 windows up, we're getting out. No, when you pull up, 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.639 roll the windows down. I don't care what the weather is, 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.440 but roll the windows down, okay, and take everything out 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.159 of your car. Don't risk it. The great advice is 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.080 go to the room first, or go to your airbnb, 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:39.639 put your stuff up, don't leave. Don't leave a Safeway 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:44.560 bag in the backs, don't leave nothing, a fucking charger, nothing. 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:48.000 Because what happens is they identify the cars and they like, oh, 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.520 that's a rental. They know so they know it's a rental, 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.080 like it's a science to it, right, so it's a rental, like, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.080 oh he got a brand new christ the three hundred. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.280 Oh we got a rental. And then people be thinking, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.959 this is the biggest reason why most people get bipped. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:07.640 Those hazards. Those hazards let a person know that you're 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:12.439 coming right back to the car, so it's evident that 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.720 you've left something in the car since you're coming right 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:19.480 back that fast, and hey, somem's in here. That's a 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.919 green light. Yeah yeah, because it happens, so like you 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.920 could go, you could go to that door, to the 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:30.040 front door right here. The bit pulls up so fast 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.400 by the time you get back here, you like, oh 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.119 so hey, yeah, man, roll your windows down. You come 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.159 to the Bay Area, roll your windows down. You're not safe. 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.159 Don't think just because you're going in the Starbucks and 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.720 anything like that, you are not safe. Row the windows down. 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.840 You will be highly disappointed. Just allow them to open 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.399 the door and go through it. Man. And there's nothing 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.320 that there's no chain of command. So you can't call 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.240 the big homie, you can't call the rapper to be like, man, 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.760 can you get my stuff? Bro? That's gone. It's probably 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.160 some fourteen year old, fifteen year old who don't even 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.760 know who your big homie is. He don't know nothing. 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.320 It's no protocols, no chain of command, it's none of that. 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.960 This is getting how you live. They eat you feel me? 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.239 They out are the key boys eating out there right now, 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.600 because in LA there's just a lot of little kids 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.280 stealing keys with USB's right now. Man, it's all kind 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.240 of stuff. You got the scat cat boys, the hellcat 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.080 because you know, they got the whole you know, the 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:25.520 bay is a little bit more technic, technologically technologically advanced. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:29.359 It's Silicon Valley, so there's some silicon game going on. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.760 There's some pull up to your car with the iPad 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.400 reprogrammed the hell cat.

Some of them disable your key on God 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.840 and bring a new key and just reprogramming that's impressive. 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.480 The youngsters is man. They advance.
