Speaker 1: you going to do with it? You know what I'm saying?

50
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:57,830
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to blow this opportunity, but I'm

51
00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:00,910
Speaker 1: blessed that he picked me. Whether it was four words,

52
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:03,350
Speaker 1: six words, 10 words, I don't give a, what nobody say,

Speaker 1: I got a Grammy. Rob Markman, And it's.

54
00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:07,670
Speaker 2: Dope because I feel like when a record like Turn

55
00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:10,420
Speaker 2: the TV Off, I feel like what Kendrick did, because

56
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: when you come to LA, you always hear the Mexicans

57
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: don't get along with blacks. You know what I'm saying?

58
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:17,130
Speaker 2: I feel like it broke the color barrier. It was

59
00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:18,589
Speaker 2: something big for hip hop.

60
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:19,910
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Rob Markman You know what's

61
00:02:19,930 --> 00:02:21,429
Speaker 1: big for the black and brown culture, black and brown unity.

62
00:02:21,470 --> 00:02:23,830
Speaker 1: I got the chills right now when you said that. Absolutely.

63
00:02:23,850 --> 00:02:26,210
Speaker 2: Rob Markman I feel like it broke the color barrier, bro.

64
00:02:26,590 --> 00:02:28,870
Speaker 1: It's different out here in New York. In LA, yeah,

65
00:02:28,889 --> 00:02:31,710
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bloodshed between black and brown, but

66
00:02:31,730 --> 00:02:34,130
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm playing my part into changing that.

67
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:38,090
Speaker 1: And I appreciate the blacks for giving me that opportunity

68
00:02:38,169 --> 00:02:42,540
Speaker 1: to rap. In my mind, that's a black sport. That's

69
00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:44,660
Speaker 1: what they do. And for them to be able to

70
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,210
Speaker 1: put me on like that and make money off this

71
00:02:47,310 --> 00:02:48,970
Speaker 1: and put more of my homies and my people on,

72
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:53,390
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I appreciate them. Rob Markman It's real territory

73
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:54,370
Speaker 1: out there in LA, right?

74
00:02:54,510 --> 00:02:58,070
Speaker 3: It really is. Every block's a gang. Every city's a gang.

75
00:02:58,590 --> 00:03:02,050
Speaker 3: It's easy to catch you. Jail, it's easy.

76
00:03:02,130 --> 00:03:05,510
Speaker 1: Everybody knows somebody from everywhere. It's a small world. But yeah,

77
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:08,350
Speaker 1: I was in the studio with Kendrick and Mustard. That's crazy, man.

78
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:08,739
Speaker 1: That's dope.

79
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: So how was that? What was that experience like?

80
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: Man, it was crazy. I was sitting at my house

81
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: in Long Beach and at the time my manager called

82
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:19,970
Speaker 1: me and I was taking a shower and he's like, hey,

Speaker 1: off my door. You know, get off the door. And

86
00:03:27,230 --> 00:03:29,410
Speaker 1: I kept showering. And they're like, bro, we just got

00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:32,470
Speaker 1: the NDAs, bro. They signed it for you. Like, it's good.

88
00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:34,980
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right. So I got ready, you know.

89
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,150
Speaker 3: And at the time I was like, I got my

90
00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:41,390
Speaker 3: blower on me, still having my lifestyle. And I go

91
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:44,690
Speaker 3: to the studio and I'm all cracking jokes and everything.

92
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:46,210
Speaker 3: And then Kendrick walks in.

93
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:48,030
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck?

94
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:52,089
Speaker 3: This is for real. Comes in, skips everybody, comes straight

95
00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:53,170
Speaker 3: up to me, gives me a hug.

96
00:03:53,370 --> 00:03:55,890
Speaker 1: Boom. I stand up. I talk to him. He's all like, man,

97
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:58,270
Speaker 1: I've been messing with you on the West, bro. You

98
00:03:58,510 --> 00:03:59,510
Speaker 1: doing your thing, man.

99
00:03:59,850 --> 00:04:01,390
Speaker 3: I've been locked in with you for a minute since

100
00:04:01,510 --> 00:04:04,820
Speaker 3: April and I'm glad to have you here. And then

101
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,460
Speaker 3: he kicked everybody out the studio. He said, everybody, with

102
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: all due respect, get out.

103
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,020
Speaker 1: No phones, no nothing. I'm like, cool. I went in

104
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: the booth.

105
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: And then my manager at the time, he's the owner

106
00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:17,740
Speaker 3: of my label, OTR Solace.

107
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: He had me writing some stuff. They were playing the

108
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:23,180
Speaker 1: TV off beat. And I remember I was writing and

109
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,500
Speaker 1: he's like, you got to go hard. You got to

110
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:28,409
Speaker 1: go hard. Like he's making me write some crazy Nas

111
00:04:28,450 --> 00:04:31,370
Speaker 1: lyrics type stuff, you know? And I'm just like, whatever.

112
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:33,820
Speaker 3: And then as soon as he left, Kendrick said, whatever

113
00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:37,060
Speaker 3: you wrote, throw it away. Say whatever comes out the

114
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,510
Speaker 3: top of your head, out the top of the dome.

115
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:41,770
Speaker 3: Just start freestyling. I'm just like, you know, hit him

116
00:04:41,790 --> 00:04:44,030
Speaker 3: with the crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious.

117
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:49,500
Speaker 1: He said, what? I said, crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious. He said,

118
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:52,220
Speaker 1: say that again. I seen him bobbing their heads like

119
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: they was feeling it. And I'm just like, crazy, scary, spooky, hilarious. Yeah.

123
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:10,330
Speaker 1: And then when the album came out, I was mad

124
00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:13,630
Speaker 1: that I didn't have a whole verse. Everybody had a

125
00:05:13,630 --> 00:05:16,130
Speaker 1: whole verse, but mine's ended up getting a Grammy and

126
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:18,410
Speaker 1: being the most viral song. Rob Markman, Jr.: Look at that. Definitely, man.

Speaker 2: That went viral, man. But talk about your life. I

00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:30,790
Speaker 2: seen you almost die in a car crash. You know,

158
00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:31,510
Speaker 2: it's a lot.

159
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:32,690
Speaker 1: Going on now. Do you want me smoking a weed

160
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: right now that's not triggering no shit?

161
00:06:33,890 --> 00:06:35,420
Speaker 2: You're not helping it. That's the trick.

162
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: You're not helping it. My man said we on gags

163
00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:38,980
Speaker 1: at the time. Learn that in the program.

164
00:06:39,020 --> 00:06:39,780
Speaker 2: You're not helping it.

165
00:06:39,779 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: My nigga said we good, man.

166
00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:42,790
Speaker 2: So that's not a trigger for you right now?

167
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't smoke weed.

168
00:06:43,980 --> 00:06:47,380
Speaker 3: I don't smoke weed, and I'm not trying to throw

169
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:48,370
Speaker 3: my people under the bus.

170
00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:50,670
Speaker 1: They smoke weed around me all the time. You know

171
00:06:50,770 --> 00:06:52,089
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Weed's not the problem.

172
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:55,270
Speaker 3: For a long time, I just felt like I had

173
00:06:55,310 --> 00:07:01,380
Speaker 3: an empty void in myself, and I've been using crystal, heroin, coke,

174
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,170
Speaker 3: in that gang banging culture since I was 13 years old.

175
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:06,430
Speaker 1: Damn.

176
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:09,860
Speaker 2: So how'd you get to hard drugs? In our day,

177
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: we have a 40, a blunt. What makes you go

178
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: on the fucking crystal method?

179
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: That was when I was sixth grade, seventh grade. Damn.

180
00:07:17,430 --> 00:07:20,170
Speaker 3: Damn. My first drink I got drunk off was a

181
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:24,110
Speaker 3: Four Local. I remember that shit. But no, since I

182
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:28,300
Speaker 3: was 13, LA, that's game time. 13, you already strapped. 14,

183
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:32,870
Speaker 3: I had my first 22. Yeah, and I'll be on

184
00:07:32,930 --> 00:07:34,790
Speaker 3: Crystal or Coke and I'll be on the block all

185
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:38,430
Speaker 3: night strapped up looking for problems, looking for somebody to

186
00:07:39,070 --> 00:07:41,510
Speaker 3: run into. I wanted to make that name for myself

187
00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:44,410
Speaker 3: and it'll help me stay on the block.

188
00:07:45,190 --> 00:07:47,530
Speaker 1: The sex was different on that shit. Rob Markman, Jr.:

189
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:50,730
Speaker 1: Hold on, Crystal? You said the sex was different on

190
00:07:50,770 --> 00:07:51,150
Speaker 1: that shit.

191
00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would last rounds on that shit. It's like,

192
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,780
Speaker 3: all I knew, I grew up in a trailer park, man,

193
00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:59,380
Speaker 3: with nothing. And I remember when I was little, my

194
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: mom used to say, don't go to the trash can,

195
00:08:01,580 --> 00:08:04,310
Speaker 3: because that's where the dope house is at, you know?

196
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:06,450
Speaker 3: And I would see all the smokers up and down

197
00:08:06,490 --> 00:08:08,830
Speaker 3: on the bikes and stuff, you know? Later on, I

198
00:08:08,870 --> 00:08:11,790
Speaker 3: started slaying out of that dope house, you know? And

199
00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:14,540
Speaker 3: some of my best friends became smokers. They'll give me

200
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:16,380
Speaker 3: the drop with the cops, like, hey, the cops are

201
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,820
Speaker 3: right here, da-da-da. I'll just treat them right, you know?

202
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: And I'll make my money, bro, but... Yeah, bro. The

203
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,890
Speaker 3: drugs was a big problem, bro. And I'm still, it's

204
00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:28,450
Speaker 3: a struggle every day. Sometimes it's a day at a time.

205
00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:30,850
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's an hour at a time. But I like

206
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:36,350
Speaker 3: myself better sober. Motherfuckers respect me more sober. Definitely. I

207
00:08:36,370 --> 00:08:38,630
Speaker 3: think before I speak, you know. And at the end

208
00:08:38,650 --> 00:08:40,030
Speaker 3: of the day, the comments are going to say what

209
00:08:40,050 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: they say. But that was me, bro, back then. That

210
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,820
Speaker 3: was my lifestyle, bro. I used to get high. You

211
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? And I didn't care when I

212
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:50,460
Speaker 3: was high. I didn't give a fuck about none of it,

213
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,420
Speaker 3: but I think that shit kind of helped me become

214
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,500
Speaker 3: Lefty Gunplay, because it helped, but it didn't.

215
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? But now since people get

216
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:00,130
Speaker 1: to see the comeback story, I think they respect that.

217
00:09:00,150 --> 00:09:01,140
Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: Nah, of course not.

218
00:09:01,150 --> 00:09:03,330
Speaker 2: I hope that shit helps some of these young motherfuckers

219
00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:04,429
Speaker 2: that's on that shit now.

220
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:06,569
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went on rehab for nine months. I called

221
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:10,459
Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar and Top Dog. I was at an Eve concert.

222
00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: It was Eve, Chingy, Ja Rule.

223
00:09:14,740 --> 00:09:17,750
Speaker 1: He was there. I'm going to keep it in the G.

224
00:09:17,740 --> 00:09:20,179
Speaker 1: That was the concert and they invited me to go.

225
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:37,010
Speaker 1: Cheney did. Cheney Lane. He a cool guy, man.

226
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:41,100
Speaker 3: He'll send me books and stuff to like Buddhism and

227
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: stuff like that to like read for the mental. And

228
00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: I was sitting there and I was talking to Top

229
00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:48,660
Speaker 3: Dog and I called.

230
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,260
Speaker 1: Him and I said, you know what? I'm going to rehab.

231
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,100
Speaker 1: And he's like, what?

232
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,610
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, if you send me tonight, I'll go.

233
00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:56,209
Speaker 3: And I called Steve LaBelle. I said, I'm going to

234
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:57,270
Speaker 3: go to rehab tonight.

235
00:09:57,650 --> 00:09:57,929
Speaker 1: Yeah.

236
00:09:58,010 --> 00:09:59,870
Speaker 3: And it was supposed to be for one month. And

237
00:09:59,890 --> 00:10:03,740
Speaker 3: I stayed over there in Florida for nine months in rehab, man.

238
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,780
Speaker 1: What made you stay so long? You feel like you

239
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:09,750
Speaker 1: needed that extra time? Nah, they left me without a passport.

240
00:10:10,090 --> 00:10:10,949
Speaker 1: All right, got you.

241
00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:15,830
Speaker 2: You know Steve not playing. Yeah. Because I remember there

242
00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:18,290
Speaker 2: was a tour where... They was like, oh nah, we

243
00:10:18,309 --> 00:10:20,209
Speaker 2: don't want Lefty Gunn playing in the building type shit.

244
00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:22,750
Speaker 2: You felt like it was stopping the business, like hindering

245
00:10:22,770 --> 00:10:23,569
Speaker 2: the business a little bit?

246
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:25,150
Speaker 1: I had a lot of beef with a lot of rappers,

247
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:25,620
Speaker 1: you know?

248
00:10:27,490 --> 00:10:30,310
Speaker 3: I don't diss rappers nowadays now this much, but to

249
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:31,829
Speaker 3: the ones that I beef with, they know what time

250
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:32,689
Speaker 3: it is when I see them.

251
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:35,370
Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: That's my nigga talking. Yeah, when I

252
00:10:35,410 --> 00:10:37,429
Speaker 1: see you, y'all know what time it is, but let's

253
00:10:37,450 --> 00:10:39,790
Speaker 1: get this money. You know what I'm saying? I'm not

254
00:10:39,820 --> 00:10:41,010
Speaker 1: going to pop it on the net. Rob Markman, Jr.:

255
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,740
Speaker 1: The opps are definitely going to be in the comments.

256
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: So that was affecting my money, man. All this beef

257
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: that I had with other rappers, I couldn't do a

258
00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:50,780
Speaker 3: show because I beef with him. I couldn't do a

259
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:53,100
Speaker 3: show because I beef with him. And promoters were scared

260
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,990
Speaker 3: that I was a liability. And, you know, I was

261
00:10:56,010 --> 00:10:57,570
Speaker 3: going to, you know, run off, you know, with the

262
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:59,550
Speaker 3: money in the deposit. I was going to go to

263
00:10:59,610 --> 00:11:05,150
Speaker 3: jail or get arrested. So, just that name they put

264
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:07,660
Speaker 3: on my image, it just, you know, and I did

265
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,219
Speaker 3: it to myself, bro. You know what I'm saying? I

266
00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:12,380
Speaker 3: got arrested at Rolling Loud. I get arrested all the time, man,

267
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,340
Speaker 3: but not as much no more.

268
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Not as much no more, man?

269
00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:18,740
Speaker 1: What about not no more period, man? You got a spike.

270
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,780
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm not going to sit here and lie.

271
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,650
Speaker 1: I try not to look for problems, but look how

272
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: I look, man. Got you.

273
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Niggas might think something sweet.

274
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: The cops mess with me and they show me my respect. Recently,

275
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,980
Speaker 3: I put a basketball court in my enemy's hood.

276
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I paid for that with

277
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:35,830
Speaker 1: the mayor and all that.

278
00:11:35,850 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: I put a basketball court in the hood. So you

279
00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:39,690
Speaker 2: did that to be nice or you did that to

280
00:11:39,710 --> 00:11:40,470
Speaker 2: be on some bullshit?

281
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:43,230
Speaker 1: I did that to give back to my community. Okay.

282
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:45,250
Speaker 1: To give the kids something to do. Right. Because I

283
00:11:45,270 --> 00:11:47,250
Speaker 1: got this platform, you know? What am I doing it for?

284
00:11:47,530 --> 00:11:49,410
Speaker 1: You said your enemy's hood. Why not your hood?

285
00:11:49,820 --> 00:11:52,620
Speaker 3: Because my enemies got a nicer basketball court that was

286
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: messed up. So, you know, and that's the basketball court I.

287
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Grew up playing in.

288
00:11:56,820 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: So, you know, we did a, we did a thing.

289
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:02,850
Speaker 1: We get back to the community, give haircuts, backpacks to

290
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:05,570
Speaker 1: the kids. And that felt real good, you know, in

291
00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:07,290
Speaker 1: front of the cops, you know, and they're like, you know,

292
00:12:07,309 --> 00:12:09,610
Speaker 1: they didn't think I would change, but I'm doing this

293
00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:11,790
Speaker 1: for the kids and for the people and for the Latinos.

294
00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:14,069
Speaker 3: It's bigger than me. It's deeper than rap. You know

295
00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: what I'm saying? We got one in the door. So

296
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep doing my thing to, you know, keep progressing.

297
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,100
Speaker 3: Y'all bringing the gangsta out of me.

298
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,020
Speaker 1: Nah, we just talking. Now we kicking it.

299
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,970
Speaker 2: You think violence in LA will ever calm down? Because

300
00:12:28,130 --> 00:12:29,990
Speaker 2: it was a point where you go to LA, you're chilling,

301
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:32,700
Speaker 2: you know, y'all got the women and... The shit, you know,

302
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,790
Speaker 2: you got the good best weed and the beaches and

303
00:12:35,850 --> 00:12:37,849
Speaker 2: now it's like, yo, you got to be careful.

304
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:40,810
Speaker 3: They do got the best weed. I've been smelling some

00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:42,130

Speaker 2: Because when I look at LA, I look at it like,

317
00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:03,110
Speaker 2: when you look at LA, Chicago, and New York, right?

318

Speaker 2: New York, we have the most indictments and recos, fast.

319
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:09,750
Speaker 2: So it's like now it seems like the feds are like, oh,

320
00:13:09,770 --> 00:13:12,620
Speaker 2: we already got New York on smash. Let's go to

321
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,979
Speaker 2: LA and Chicago. And it seems like that's what's happening

322
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,819
Speaker 2: now with the recos and shit like that in LA.

323
00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: Because it's like, yo, bro, you're seeing people getting robbed

324
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,970
Speaker 2: on Rodeo now. It's crazy. When I used to go

325
00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:26,809
Speaker 2: to LA, you go to Rodeo, you see all the

326
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:30,569

00:13:30,929 --> 00:13:35,730
Speaker 2: jewelry stores, flocked teams, rappers getting killed every fucking other month,

328
00:13:35,850 --> 00:13:38,390
Speaker 2: or you know what I'm saying? Every year.

329
00:13:38,429 --> 00:13:38,929
Speaker 1: Yeah.

330
00:13:39,090 --> 00:13:42,150
Speaker 3: I always put it to myself, I've never had nobody

331
00:13:42,190 --> 00:13:43,270
Speaker 3: try to take my chains.

332
00:13:43,570 --> 00:13:44,790
Speaker 1: God willing, God bless.

333
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:48,150
Speaker 3: I feel like a real gangster, recognize a real gangster,

334
00:13:48,170 --> 00:13:50,460
Speaker 3: and I go out into the city in LA and

335
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: I get love. from both sides, but it's like, I

336
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: feel like people, it's like a shark. You smell blood,

337
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: they're going to get it. You know what I'm saying?

338
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,380
Speaker 1: People in LA are hungry. You know what I'm saying?

339
00:13:59,420 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: I remember when I was hungry, I was looking for

340
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: a rapper to grab the chain before I was rapping.

341
00:14:03,179 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

342
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:06,690
Speaker 3: I just feel like it's part of the culture. It's

343
00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:10,089
Speaker 3: never going to stop. And it's a shame it's like that,

344
00:14:10,130 --> 00:14:11,809
Speaker 3: but it is like that. You just got to, you know,

372
00:15:21,770 --> 00:15:24,570
Speaker 3: Because I was just talking about it. And, you know,

373
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:27,370
Speaker 3: I remember all the pain I put my mama through. And,

374
00:15:27,410 --> 00:15:28,770
Speaker 3: you know, the homies, I did it for the homies

375
00:15:28,810 --> 00:15:30,150
Speaker 3: in the hood. It was cool to run into them.

376
00:15:30,170 --> 00:15:32,830
Speaker 3: But the pain that I put my mom through, man,

377
00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:34,350
Speaker 3: it wasn't worth it. And she was the only one

00:15:34,370 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: there that never missed a store. You know what I'm saying?

379
00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:40,580
Speaker 3: It is different, man, when you're really in there, bro.

380
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,220
Speaker 3: But I gave it my all, bro. Like I said,

381
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,380
Speaker 3: if I'm going to do this, I'm going to go

382
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: all out with it. You know, to the kids, I

383
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,700
Speaker 3: hope they don't do it. But, like, you got to

384
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,239
Speaker 3: know what you really want in life and don't half

385
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,900
Speaker 3: step with it either. You want to live that lifestyle,

386
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,020
Speaker 3: live that lifestyle, and you'll find out yourself. But don't

387
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: play both sides. But, yeah, stay in school, man. I

388
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,260
Speaker 3: wanted to be a firefighter growing up, you know, to

389
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: be honest with you. You know, rapping came, like, later

390
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: on down the line. I said, I could do that.

391
00:16:06,940 --> 00:16:09,260
Speaker 3: Just being in jail and people saying, like, you a superstar,

392
00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:11,550
Speaker 3: you shouldn't be in here, bro. Like, you know, you

393
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:14,430
Speaker 3: should be rapping or doing movies. But I don't recommend

394
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:17,530
Speaker 3: it to nobody, bro, to any kid, bro. Stay in school, bro.

395
00:16:17,770 --> 00:16:18,590
Speaker 1: That's for the birds.

396
00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:20,410

Speaker 1: The whites are with the Mexicans. And the Asians are

464
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,260
Speaker 1: with the blacks. Oh, word? That's how it is in LA?

465
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,180
Speaker 1: That's how it is. That's crazy.

466
00:18:57,460 --> 00:19:00,020
Speaker 3: Asians run other. They run with the blacks. They share

467
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,460
Speaker 3: the same bars, same thing. And the whites share the

468
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:06,260
Speaker 3: tables with us and pisses and all that. That's how

469
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:06,830
Speaker 3: it goes down.

470
00:19:07,140 --> 00:19:09,530
Speaker 1: So we have to meet halfway. Makes you real racist, bro.

471
00:19:09,790 --> 00:19:11,450
Speaker 1: I'm about to say it feel like that.

472
00:19:11,570 --> 00:19:13,730
Speaker 3: It makes you real racist. Like, I can't walk into

473
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:15,310
Speaker 3: your territory. You can't walk into mine.

474
00:19:16,550 --> 00:19:19,070
Speaker 1: And you know what? I'm working out to stay ready

475
00:19:19,109 --> 00:19:21,170
Speaker 1: for y'all. You know what I'm saying?

476
00:19:21,780 --> 00:19:27,590
Speaker 3: Because in case something happens, we argue about something. California's

477
00:19:27,609 --> 00:19:31,330
Speaker 3: the only place where they segregate you by race. If

478
00:19:31,390 --> 00:19:32,930
Speaker 3: I go in there and I don't know nothing about gangs,

479
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:34,550
Speaker 3: they're going to put me with a person of my color.

480
00:19:34,570 --> 00:19:36,030
Speaker 1: They're not going to put me in a cell with

481
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:39,470
Speaker 1: a black. They segregate you from the jump. And I

482
00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:41,389
Speaker 1: guess that's what helps it out more. Rob Markman You

483
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:43,129
Speaker 1: could tell LA different. They said with a black.

484
00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:45,950
Speaker 2: Rob Markman When you look at the West Coast, right?

485
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: Us being from New York, our real introduction was really

486
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:53,580
Speaker 2: from movies, Boys in the Hood.

487
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,540
Speaker 1: Rob Markman No facts, of course.

488
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,939
Speaker 2: Rob Markman American Me was like how I looked at

489
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: Mexican gangs out. You still watch American Me? Rob Markman Yeah,

490
00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: I love that movie. Rob Markman That's one of my favorites.

491
00:20:00,859 --> 00:20:03,699
Speaker 2: American Me, Colors. You know what I mean? When you

492
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,590
Speaker 2: watch Colors, we had an introduction through the culture, like

493
00:20:07,650 --> 00:20:11,169
Speaker 2: watching movies, Boys in the Hood. Menace to society. You

494
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:11,889
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying?

495
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: So when you put it like that, I just say,

496
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:19,940
Speaker 1: that's why I say this rap shit, I'm grateful for it.

497
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,859
Speaker 1: When I was in there on this last term on

498
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: this gun case and I was writing raps and my

499
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,820
Speaker 1: cellies would come in and they'd be like, what you doing?

500
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,300
Speaker 1: I'd be like, nothing. Just writing my girl.

501
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,379
Speaker 3: Because I didn't want to say I'm going to be

502
00:20:31,420 --> 00:20:35,550
Speaker 3: a rapper because it's frowned upon. Like, just to be

503
00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:38,310
Speaker 3: like an essay and Latino and gang bang.

504
00:20:38,330 --> 00:20:41,020
Speaker 1: With your own homies? With your own homies? Yes, sir. Oh,

505
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Look at that. Like I said, like- They

506
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:45,260
Speaker 1: feel like, why you trying to do something like the blacks?

507
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,260
Speaker 1: Why you trying to be black, bro? Got you. You

508
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,460
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Got you.

509
00:20:48,619 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: Why you trying to be black? But that's my vision

510
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: and what I had in my mind that I wanted

511
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,020
Speaker 3: to do. I seen this in my head. I'm going

512
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,540
Speaker 3: to run with it. I didn't give a fuck what

513
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,379
Speaker 3: they thought. You know what I'm saying? And when I

514
00:20:58,420 --> 00:21:01,930
Speaker 3: first got out of jail this last time, my homies like,

515
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: And I was settled with Ja, fired from Hoover.

516
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:06,740
Speaker 1: Shout out to him. And he's like, bro, you just

517
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,420
Speaker 1: got to go get it, bro. You got it. You

518
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:08,980
Speaker 1: can rap.

519
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: And it was always a hobby of mine to do poetry.

520
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:13,690
Speaker 3: And it's funny now because there's a lot of homies

521
00:21:13,710 --> 00:21:16,889
Speaker 3: that try to do it. But my people get taken

522
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:20,150
Speaker 3: care of from my earnings from rapping.

523
00:21:20,170 --> 00:21:22,109
Speaker 1: From this rap shit. Gotcha. Yeah, I take care of

524
00:21:22,150 --> 00:21:24,470
Speaker 1: the hood. Gotcha. And I take care of my people.

525
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: And we're eating off this. So now they're like, okay,

526
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: this shit's working out. And I'm not saying the N-word.

527
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: And I'm just telling our story. And I'm with Kendrick

528
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,260
Speaker 1: Lamar and I got a Grammy. So I took it

529
00:21:35,310 --> 00:21:37,550
Speaker 1: the furthest. So this shit worked out for us. Definitely.

530
00:21:37,570 --> 00:21:39,129
Speaker 1: But do you still get some hate from some of

531
00:21:39,170 --> 00:21:40,130
Speaker 1: your peoples a little bit?

532
00:21:42,010 --> 00:21:43,750
Speaker 3: My homies are all for it. They're like, you know,

533
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:45,470
Speaker 3: we support you. They want to be at the shows

534
00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:47,909
Speaker 3: and all that. Whether rapping works or not, they're still

535
00:21:47,930 --> 00:21:49,550
Speaker 3: going to be my homies. But I got to lock

536
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:52,910
Speaker 3: in even more and take it. It's unheard of for

537
00:21:52,930 --> 00:21:56,270
Speaker 3: a Latino in L.A. to take it as far as

538
00:21:56,290 --> 00:22:00,390
Speaker 3: I have. But I don't see it that way because...

539
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: It's happening for me. I don't sit back and trip

540
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,540
Speaker 3: out and look at it like, fuck.

541
00:22:04,660 --> 00:22:07,469
Speaker 1: Because you're in the moment still. You're still in the moment.

542
00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:08,670
Speaker 1: So I got out of jail, right?

543
00:22:08,850 --> 00:22:12,270
Speaker 3: And my homie from my hood, my homie Grim, he's like, man,

544
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:13,010
Speaker 3: what's up, fool?

545
00:22:13,090 --> 00:22:14,950
Speaker 1: Second day out of jail. I didn't have no money, nothing.

546
00:22:15,230 --> 00:22:18,690
Speaker 1: Gives me a burner. Boom. Gives me some money. Boom.

547
00:22:19,170 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: He's all, we're back on our shit. All right, cool. Whatever.

548
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,500
Speaker 3: He's all, I said, I'm going to stay home today.

549
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 3: He's all, you going to stay home? I'm like, yeah,

550
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to stay home. I'm right there with my

551
00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 3: little headphones. Writing my lyrics in my trailer at my,

552
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 3: you know, writing.

553
00:22:32,220 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: You didn't tell him what you was doing? Uh-uh.

554
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:36,020
Speaker 3: And then one day he's all like, we're going to

555
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,060
Speaker 3: go to the hood. I said, I'm going to stay

556
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: right here.

557
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:39,180
Speaker 1: He goes, you're not going to roll?

558
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: He's like, what the fuck you doing, fool? You haven't been,

559
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:42,820
Speaker 3: you've been out for a week. You're not the same

560
00:22:42,859 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 3: no more.

561
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:44,939
Speaker 1: I said, hey, fool, I'm going to be a rapper.

562
00:22:45,859 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: He looked at me. He's like bald-headed, tatted on the face,

563
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: high white socks, banged out. He looked at me. He's like,

564
00:22:51,660 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be a rapper? I'm like, yeah, I'm

565
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,020
Speaker 1: a rapper, fool. And I'm going to make it. He's like.

566
00:22:57,740 --> 00:22:58,659
Speaker 1: He got me fucked up.

567
00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,230
Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Jr.

568
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,620
Speaker 1: Give my gun back, man. He took his gun back.

Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: No, no, no. He's like, you tripping.

Speaker 1: Tell me a little more, though, yeah?

616
00:24:50,220 --> 00:24:52,220
Speaker 2: In the past, if you wanted action on a game,

617
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,889
Speaker 2: you put some money in. And if your team was

618
00:24:54,930 --> 00:24:57,810
Speaker 2: doing well, and if you wanted to cash out, they'll

619
00:24:57,850 --> 00:25:00,550
Speaker 2: lock the trade or take a huge fee. Now that's

620
00:25:00,609 --> 00:25:02,990
Speaker 2: messed up. Yeah, that's what happened. But polymarket is a

Speaker 1: That I asked you, right?

637
00:25:51,660 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: With your lifestyle growing up, because I know it'd be

638
00:25:55,180 --> 00:25:57,460
Speaker 2: like how we'd be. We'd be beefing with each other.

639
00:25:58,010 --> 00:26:00,430
Speaker 2: Was it like that with y'all too? Did y'all have

640
00:26:00,470 --> 00:26:02,550
Speaker 2: crews where y'all beef with each other? Or was y'all

641
00:26:02,609 --> 00:26:04,810
Speaker 2: focused mainly like we against the blacks?

642
00:26:04,850 --> 00:26:06,710
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. Where I grew up, I

643
00:26:06,730 --> 00:26:10,310
Speaker 1: was in San Gabriel Valley. So there's no blacks out there. Okay.

644
00:26:10,430 --> 00:26:13,550
Speaker 3: Besides Dura Crip and the PDOs. Shout out to both

645
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:17,139
Speaker 3: of them. It's all Mexicans out there. It's like East L.A.

646
00:26:18,050 --> 00:26:20,470
Speaker 3: I sat SUVs next to each other, so it's all Latinos.

647
00:26:20,490 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 3: So I grew up beefing it with Latinos.

648
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:23,860
Speaker 1: Rob Markman I was beefing with each other. Rob Markman

649
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,300
Speaker 1: But when you go to jail, that's when it's like,

650
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,980
Speaker 1: oh shit, we're together and y'all together.

651
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,300
Speaker 2: Rob Markman So you seen some of your apps before

652
00:26:33,340 --> 00:26:34,820
Speaker 2: you had to be keeping cool with them?

653
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,260
Speaker 1: Rob Markman Cool, cool with them. But if we go

654
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,660
Speaker 1: to court, we're running it in a tank. It's GP.

655
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: But if I fight you in a tank, in the pod,

656
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:45,500
Speaker 3: and it's worth enough for me to fight you, if

657
00:26:45,540 --> 00:26:48,129
Speaker 3: you kill my dead homie- Or you diss me. Or

658
00:26:48,150 --> 00:26:49,429
Speaker 3: you got my hood whacked out on you.

659
00:26:49,930 --> 00:26:50,570
Speaker 1: I need that.

660
00:26:50,990 --> 00:26:52,850
Speaker 3: And they're going to let us get it in. But

661
00:26:52,910 --> 00:26:54,869
Speaker 3: after that, you're going to get 39 seconds, which is

662
00:26:54,869 --> 00:26:57,449
Speaker 3: 13 times three. You're going to get whooped in the back. So,

663
00:26:57,490 --> 00:26:59,550
Speaker 3: is it worth it to you to fight your enemy? Like,

664
00:26:59,590 --> 00:27:02,930
Speaker 3: to some people, it is. And especially now that I rap,

665
00:27:03,030 --> 00:27:05,379
Speaker 3: when I go back to jail these times, nowadays, it's like,

666
00:27:05,460 --> 00:27:06,180
Speaker 3: I get lined.

667
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: Up like a motherfucker. Like, they be like, lefty gun

668
00:27:08,859 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: plays in here. I need that. Motherfuckers just want to

669
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: go up in there and say they fucked me up,

670
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,260
Speaker 1: you know? Mm-hmm. So, you know, I'm pretty big.

671
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,980
Speaker 2: So how many fades you got to shoot in a day?

672
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,899
Speaker 2: Because I know niggas be like, I shoot three fades

673
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:20,620
Speaker 2: in a day, cuz.

674
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,060
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about right. That seems about right. That's about right. Yep.

675
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,060
Speaker 1: That's about right. Look at that. I just caught him

676
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, like a couple of months ago.

677
00:27:28,619 --> 00:27:30,930
Speaker 1: Like I went in real quick. Just for an arrest.

678
00:27:30,970 --> 00:27:33,369
Speaker 1: Let me say y'all went in real quick. Just for

679
00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:35,330
Speaker 1: an arrest. And I was in the holding tank. And

680
00:27:35,410 --> 00:27:36,510
Speaker 1: I caught two fades in there.

681
00:27:36,930 --> 00:27:40,149
Speaker 3: And on the third fade, the homie from Hawaiian Gardens,

682
00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:42,389
Speaker 3: he got up and he said, he already fought twice.

683
00:27:42,510 --> 00:27:44,129
Speaker 3: If he fights again, I'm going to catch his fade.

684
00:27:44,150 --> 00:27:46,850
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, fuck it. Catch his fade. And he

685
00:27:46,890 --> 00:27:48,790
Speaker 1: got him up for me. You know what I'm saying?

686
00:27:48,810 --> 00:27:50,970
Speaker 1: Just out of respect for me. I was tired. Got you.

687
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,010
Speaker 1: Got you. Look at that.

688
00:27:52,090 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: No, because Murda, when you look at it, right? In hindsight,

689
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: the game coach that came to New York, a little

690
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: later on, well, way later on than L.A. Of course.

691
00:28:02,020 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: But we respect every gang in New York City because

692
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: I believe L.A. is like New York. We got as

693
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: much gangs as y'all do out here now.

694
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,419
Speaker 1: And New York is popular.

695
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:12,149
Speaker 2: Yeah, New York got crazy gangs now. Yeah. But when

696
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:14,090
Speaker 2: you look at the gun culture out there, it's pretty

697
00:28:14,130 --> 00:28:17,070
Speaker 2: much like y'all come from like, your moms might be

698
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:17,950
Speaker 2: a Serrano.

699
00:28:18,990 --> 00:28:21,330
Speaker 1: My mom a gang man. See? Look at that. Know

700
00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:21,690
Speaker 1: what I mean?

701
00:28:21,710 --> 00:28:25,070
Speaker 2: Your dad might be a Crip. Your uncle might.

702
00:28:24,910 --> 00:28:25,470
Speaker 1: Be a Blood.

703
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: It's sort of like, It's like they grew up in

704
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: that culture.

705
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:31,020
Speaker 1: Rob Markman So that's how it was for you? Because

706
00:28:31,060 --> 00:28:33,300
Speaker 1: they used to be your moms, bro. I mean, growing up,

707
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: when you grow up in the hood, playing football is

708
00:28:36,940 --> 00:28:41,100
Speaker 1: not fly. It's cool, you know? Play football, but it's

709
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: with the gangbangers. Rob Markman That's not a reality. That

710
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a real reality. Yeah, bitches want to fuck with

711
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:48,220
Speaker 1: the gangsters and the hustlers and the moneymakers.

712
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: The people out there get money. I've seen my homies

713
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,140
Speaker 3: get money. I've seen the cars. I've seen that lifestyle.

714
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: That's what I want to do.

715
00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:58,350
Speaker 1: I used to play sports my whole life, but that's

716
00:28:58,390 --> 00:28:58,690
Speaker 1: what I.

717
00:28:58,670 --> 00:28:59,150
Speaker 2: Wanted to do.

718
00:28:59,190 --> 00:29:01,090
Speaker 3: I wanted to be the best gangster that I could

719
00:29:01,130 --> 00:29:02,610
Speaker 3: possibly be, which is stupid now.

720
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:04,970
Speaker 1: I look at it, but it helped me now. I

721
00:29:04,990 --> 00:29:07,340
Speaker 1: got you. I'm with you. It's very few rappers that

722
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: are really like that. Of course. Trust me. I can relate.

723
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you mean.

724
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 3: And I appreciate the time that God gave me on

725
00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:15,940
Speaker 3: this earth to do that. I'm fortunate to be out

726
00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: of jail and around people like y'all and Steve LaBelle

727
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: and my label and just to be able to tell

728
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,530
Speaker 3: this story. And I feel like nobody's really done it

729
00:29:24,550 --> 00:29:24,940
Speaker 3: like this.

730
00:29:25,670 --> 00:29:26,250
Speaker 1: It's different.

731
00:29:26,290 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's ever done it like this from

732
00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: the west side. Really, a Surano out there, 13, gang member, gangsta,

733
00:29:32,180 --> 00:29:32,660
Speaker 3: still active.

734
00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm still from the hood. I was just with my homies.

735
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:38,990
Speaker 3: Two days ago. I'm like that, and I get to

736
00:29:39,030 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: tell our story. You know what I'm saying?

737
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:44,740
Speaker 1: I appreciate the rap. I'm a rapper now, but I'm

738
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: from the hood, whether this rap shit don't work out

739
00:29:46,420 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: or it don't.

740
00:29:46,660 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: Rob Markman So how do you feel? Because it's like,

741
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: you got this record with Kendrick. Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, TD, everybody,

743
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,990
Speaker 2: So you got this Grammy hit record, right? But when

744
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:00,870
Speaker 2: you look at it, we just did a show with J.O.P.

745
00:30:01,010 --> 00:30:05,010
Speaker 1: They was looking at me crazy on the red carpet too. Who? Everybody.

746
00:30:05,690 --> 00:30:08,620
Speaker 1: Walking through that red carpet. Why you say that? Because

747
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: you feel like.

748
00:30:09,020 --> 00:30:10,420
Speaker 3: I was just the only one up there with my

749
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: whole face blasted up in a tuxedo.

750
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: Who the fuck is this?

751
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: Rob Markman Yeah, get to that. When did that start

752
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,900
Speaker 2: in LA? Because I remember us having our little running

753
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,020
Speaker 2: with Suge. He was, I think, with the 18th Street

754
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: crew at that time. And that's the first time I've

755
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,260
Speaker 2: seen somebody with a tattoo on their forehead before Lil Wayne,

756
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,620
Speaker 2: before everybody.

757
00:30:30,660 --> 00:30:32,580
Speaker 1: Shout out to 18, King Lil G on Gopi.

758
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:34,900
Speaker 2: Rob Markman Now, between you and Blueface, I don't know

759
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:35,830
Speaker 2: who got more face tattoos.

760
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,730
Speaker 1: I love Blueface. He my neighbor. We live in the

761
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:43,030
Speaker 1: same city. Every time I go to a store, they

762
00:30:43,050 --> 00:30:45,350
Speaker 1: be like, Blueface just walked out. Look at that. Look

763
00:30:45,390 --> 00:30:45,710
Speaker 1: at that.

00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:47,490
Speaker 2: Who got more face tattoos? Send my Blueface.

765
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:49,830
Speaker 1: Who you think? I'm not sure, man. That's a good one.

766
00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:52,690
Speaker 1: I ain't sure. Shout out to Blueface, though, man. He

00:30:52,730 --> 00:30:56,330
Speaker 1: getting his money. He a schoolyard crip. He cripping.

824
00:32:47,780 --> 00:32:49,880

00:42:37,780 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to keep it real with you. This

1080
00:42:42,180 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: can help the next generation or the person that's going

1081
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: through something better than fucking life. When you look at

1082
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:51,340
Speaker 2: the drug program, 12 Steps to ASAP, motherfuckers took the

1083
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 2: drug program because they got locked up with drugs or

1084
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,029
Speaker 2: was probably smoking weed or probation, but you was on

1085
00:42:58,170 --> 00:43:01,310
Speaker 2: hard drugs. That shit is not, to get off of

1086
00:43:01,330 --> 00:43:04,320

Speaker 3: And I apologize and I come over here to give

1096
00:43:19,570 --> 00:43:21,890
Speaker 3: you all my all. And you know, yeah, I went

1097
00:43:21,910 --> 00:43:23,790
Speaker 3: for nine months. I broke my wrist and everything and

1098
00:43:23,830 --> 00:43:26,350
Speaker 3: everybody thought it was a liability. And I made that

1099
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:28,430
Speaker 3: decision to go, but I'm not going to sit here

1100
00:43:28,450 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 3: in front of the camera and and be fake because

1101
00:43:30,860 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 3: my label's right here. Or, you know, and try to

1102
00:43:33,620 --> 00:43:35,939
Speaker 3: put this image like what it is when I'm telling

1103
00:43:35,980 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 3: you what it really is.

1104
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I hope y'all respect that.

1105
00:43:38,340 --> 00:43:40,259
Speaker 2: I think people are going to respect you more for that, man.

1106
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 2: I don't even think you got to apologize, my G.

1107
00:43:42,860 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: You ain't got to apologize.

1108
00:43:44,020 --> 00:43:44,940
Speaker 2: Apologize for nothing, bro.

1109
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,620
Speaker 1: It's just like, yeah, little things throw me off. Apologize, Steve, too.

1110
00:43:49,620 --> 00:43:53,500
Speaker 1: I know. Whoever that was, y'all messed me up. Come on, man.

1111
00:43:53,540 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: I can't be throwing my guy off, man. Like, for real, man.

1112
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:57,180
Speaker 1: That was whack, man.

1113
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,490
Speaker 2: So what was the nine months... In the program, like

1114
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:00,890
Speaker 2: for you?

1115
00:44:00,910 --> 00:44:03,910
Speaker 1: I had to find myself again.

1116
00:44:03,930 --> 00:44:09,210
Speaker 3: You know, finding myself again and, you know, asking myself

1117
00:44:09,250 --> 00:44:11,589
Speaker 3: what I want and learning how to breathe again and

1118
00:44:11,650 --> 00:44:14,890
Speaker 3: just be sober and just be normal. And, you know,

1119
00:44:15,070 --> 00:44:17,250
Speaker 3: it's reinventing myself again.

1120
00:44:17,270 --> 00:44:19,810
Speaker 1: And I'm still struggling with that. You know, I'm trying

1121
00:44:19,830 --> 00:44:23,690
Speaker 1: to be happy to just sit still. You know what

1122
00:44:23,710 --> 00:44:26,029
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Like, it's just different, bro. I mean.

1123
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,530
Speaker 3: I've judged my whole life and now that I'm sober,

1124
00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:31,670
Speaker 3: but I like me better sober. People respect me more sober.

1125
00:44:32,050 --> 00:44:32,810
Speaker 3: You get what I'm saying?

1126
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:34,450
Speaker 1: It's just- Rob Markman You don't.

1127
00:44:34,370 --> 00:44:36,029
Speaker 2: Think people like you more for getting high?

1128
00:44:36,050 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: Nah.

1129
00:44:36,130 --> 00:44:39,230
Speaker 2: Rob Markman Because when you see them interviews and your

1130
00:44:39,330 --> 00:44:42,410
Speaker 2: eyes are rolling and you're wilding, like I knew you

1131
00:44:42,430 --> 00:44:43,590
Speaker 2: for going viral from that.

1132
00:44:44,030 --> 00:44:46,460
Speaker 1: Nah, I don't want to be known for viral for that. Facts.

1133
00:44:46,739 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that's Roy Cato. I'll put me on

1134
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:49,580
Speaker 1: the album. I'm with you with that. Facts. You know

1135
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? I think that people respect I'm a

1136
00:44:51,140 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: gangsta and they want to see the comeback story. You

1137
00:44:52,900 --> 00:44:55,390
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? I think the ones that went viral,

1138
00:44:55,410 --> 00:44:56,850
Speaker 1: I wish I could bury them, but it is what

1139
00:44:56,890 --> 00:44:59,130
Speaker 1: it is. You know what I'm saying? But, nah. It

1140
00:44:59,290 --> 00:45:02,270
Speaker 1: make you who you are. I'm proud of you. That's

1141
00:45:02,310 --> 00:45:04,140
Speaker 1: not the reason why I want to go viral for.

1142
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,779
Speaker 2: No, I'm proud of you, man. You came a long way, man.

1143
00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:11,100
Speaker 1: I still got a long way to go. Definitely. For real.

1144
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:11,859
Speaker 2: I mean that.

1145
00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm nowhere near where I want to be. I'm far

1146
00:45:14,020 --> 00:45:15,700
Speaker 1: from perfect, but I'm trying.

1147
00:45:16,010 --> 00:45:18,270
Speaker 2: Ain't none of us perfect, my God. Ain't none of

1148
00:45:18,330 --> 00:45:20,070
Speaker 2: us perfect, man. Ain't none of us perfect.

1149
00:45:20,390 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Ain't nobody perfect, man. I got two kids.

1150
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,220
Speaker 1: I got a daughter, she's three, and I got a son,

1151
00:45:27,260 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: he's 12. My son is 12, he's my high school sweetheart.

1152
00:45:31,219 --> 00:45:34,020
Speaker 1: We don't talk. He was born when I was in jail,

1153
00:45:34,140 --> 00:45:36,969
Speaker 1: and I got to work on that relationship. And my daughter,

1154
00:45:37,010 --> 00:45:40,110
Speaker 1: she's three. My baby mama had a baby with my enemy,

1155
00:45:40,710 --> 00:45:44,210
Speaker 1: from my enemy hood. So I'm dealing with that accordingly,

1156
00:45:44,410 --> 00:45:45,870
Speaker 1: the way that I deal with it. But I love

1157
00:45:45,890 --> 00:45:48,489
Speaker 1: my kids, and I know they know I love them.

1158
00:45:48,510 --> 00:45:50,540
Speaker 2: How the fuck you go see your kids if he's 12?

1159
00:45:50,540 --> 00:45:51,500
Speaker 2: I can't.

1160
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,859
Speaker 3: That's the part. That's the reason that... I didn't know

1161
00:45:55,900 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 3: about it until after. I told my mom. She was

1162
00:45:58,780 --> 00:46:02,950
Speaker 3: pregnant with his kid and I found out and my

1163
00:46:02,969 --> 00:46:04,489
Speaker 3: homies were like, we didn't want to tell you. I'm like,

1164
00:46:04,510 --> 00:46:07,089
Speaker 3: why didn't y'all tell me? They said, because you're doing

1165
00:46:07,110 --> 00:46:09,450
Speaker 3: such a good job with your career that we.

1166
00:46:09,390 --> 00:46:12,150
Speaker 1: Didn't want to throw you off. I think about that

1167
00:46:12,210 --> 00:46:12,609
Speaker 1: every day.

1168
00:46:12,690 --> 00:46:15,149
Speaker 3: It's like a slap in the face that she's still

1169
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:16,890
Speaker 3: in the hood, but she got my name all over

1170
00:46:16,930 --> 00:46:19,140
Speaker 3: her and she would do that to me, but I

1171
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 3: respect her for raising my daughter, and I play my part,

1172
00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: and I give her money, and I wish I could

1173
00:46:23,980 --> 00:46:26,020
Speaker 3: be in my kid's life more. Her birthday just passed,

1174
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 3: and I'm not allowed to see her. I love my kids, man,

1175
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: but I could be a better man. I'm trying to

1176
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:31,700
Speaker 3: figure myself out.

1177
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: I got to be able to take care of myself

1178
00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:35,980
Speaker 1: and make sure I'm mentally straight before I start interfering

1179
00:46:36,020 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: with my kids. But I love my kids, man. That's

1180
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,460
Speaker 1: real shit, man. I respect that. I respect that, man.

1181
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's easy to crash in L.A., man.

1182
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: Of course, man.

1183
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:45,660
Speaker 2: It's easy to crash, bro.

1184
00:46:46,050 --> 00:46:48,169
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy, but it's so hard to take

1185
00:46:48,210 --> 00:46:50,830
Speaker 1: it as far as I have. It's hard. It's hard

1186
00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:52,569
Speaker 1: to do that. Like, it's hard to do that. It's

1187
00:46:52,590 --> 00:46:53,569
Speaker 1: hard to do what I'm doing.

1188
00:46:53,690 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 3: And I had never snitched, never PC'd up, always been turned.

1189
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: If the hood needs me right now, I'll go to

1190
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,860
Speaker 3: the hood right now and go take what I got coming.

1191
00:47:02,260 --> 00:47:02,779
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?

1192
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,260
Speaker 3: My homies respect me. The gangs respect me. I carry

1193
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:08,500
Speaker 3: myself well. I don't use the N-word. I'm proud to

1194
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 3: be Latino. You know what I'm saying?

1195
00:47:10,460 --> 00:47:14,129
Speaker 1: I stand tall. You know, I'll You know, whatever God

1196
00:47:14,170 --> 00:47:16,410
Speaker 1: has planned for me, you know, I'm on God's timing.

1197
00:47:16,430 --> 00:47:17,049
Speaker 2: So, talk about that.

1198
00:47:17,110 --> 00:47:19,190
Speaker 1: He got success planned for you, man. You're going to

1199
00:47:19,210 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: do great things, my guy.

1200
00:47:20,210 --> 00:47:22,230
Speaker 2: You said you don't use the N-word. Explain that to me.

1201
00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:26,670
Speaker 3: It's in the West Coast. Like, you know, there's some

1202
00:47:26,690 --> 00:47:28,630
Speaker 3: homies that talk like that and to each his own.

1203
00:47:28,650 --> 00:47:31,030
Speaker 3: But like I said, I didn't grow up around blacks,

1204
00:47:31,050 --> 00:47:33,300
Speaker 3: so I wasn't raised that way. I don't speak like that.

1205
00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:35,109
Speaker 3: And I know it's a respectful thing for me not

1206
00:47:35,140 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 3: to come up to a black and use that word.

1207
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,290
Speaker 3: That's just not in my... vocabulary and I never talked

1208
00:47:41,330 --> 00:47:43,629
Speaker 3: like that. So why would I start talking like that now?

1209
00:47:44,250 --> 00:47:46,509
Speaker 3: I was never raised that way and I wouldn't use

1210
00:47:46,550 --> 00:47:47,010
Speaker 3: that word.

1211
00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: In the pen. So I just keep my morals that

1212
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: I learned in prison from gangbanging and I put that

1213
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:56,020
Speaker 1: into my everyday life and it helps me out. It

1214
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:57,339
Speaker 1: really does.

1215
00:47:57,380 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's all the way you grew up. You

1216
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,490
Speaker 2: grew up your whole life around Mexican neighborhoods.

1217
00:48:02,590 --> 00:48:04,989
Speaker 1: There's Blacks out here. I mean, there's Latinos out here

1218
00:48:05,010 --> 00:48:06,930
Speaker 1: that use it. That's them.

1219
00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 3: But in L.A., I'm not going to talk like that.

1220
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,460
Speaker 3: I think it'd be weird if I started using that word. Like,

1221
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,219
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, I'm thinking about it now. Like,

1222
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: if I started using it, that's just not me. It's

1223
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,180
Speaker 3: not what I do. And I respect y'all. And I'm

1224
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,370
Speaker 3: not going to talk like that, you know? It's just

1225
00:48:23,390 --> 00:48:25,710
Speaker 3: not my get down. And hopefully more little homies that

1226
00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:28,390
Speaker 3: see this will do it because it takes you further.

1227
00:48:29,130 --> 00:48:32,150
Speaker 3: And I've learned, too, that the Latino crowd, as soon

1228
00:48:32,190 --> 00:48:33,990
Speaker 3: as they hear a Latino using that word, they turn

1229
00:48:34,030 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 3: it off.

1230
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,660
Speaker 1: What? But there's a lot of artists that get away

1231
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: with it.

1232
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: But out here it's different, because we grew up with Latinos,

1233
00:48:39,820 --> 00:48:42,549
Speaker 2: and we all together with it. So for us it's

1234
00:48:42,590 --> 00:48:44,859
Speaker 2: a little different. I'm saying out here it's a little different,

1235
00:48:45,170 --> 00:48:47,529
Speaker 2: and New York is different. I know you look at

1236
00:48:47,590 --> 00:48:50,090
Speaker 2: it weird, like word for real, but nah, we got

1237
00:48:50,130 --> 00:48:51,130
Speaker 2: Spanish dudes.

1238
00:48:50,969 --> 00:48:53,089
Speaker 1: That do use the word, and it's all good, like

1239
00:48:53,150 --> 00:48:53,910
Speaker 1: our brothers.

1240
00:48:54,370 --> 00:48:58,049
Speaker 3: But if he were to do that in prison, and

1241
00:48:58,110 --> 00:49:00,610
Speaker 3: he was running with us, it would be a different story.

1242
00:49:00,710 --> 00:49:02,450
Speaker 3: That's why I'm not from out here, so.

1243
00:49:03,170 --> 00:49:04,830
Speaker 1: But it's just the way I was taught and that's

1244
00:49:04,850 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: the way I roll. Respectfully, respectfully. Facts, facts. Respectfully. Facts, man.

1245
00:49:11,580 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's hard to write a rap song and not

1246
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,350
Speaker 1: use that word. So much shit rhymes with that word.

1247
00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:17,450
Speaker 1: It's true.

1248
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,219
Speaker 2: No, fuck with you.

1249
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,620
Speaker 1: I figured it out. You said so much shit rhymes

1250
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: with that word. It does.

1251
00:49:24,980 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: It's right there, right? I think when we was, as

1252
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,290
Speaker 2: a kid, introduced to Latin artists, Mexican artists in LA,

1253
00:49:35,410 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 2: I would say it's Cypress Hills, Killer Man. I remember

1254
00:49:38,380 --> 00:49:40,439
Speaker 2: that coming on the club in New York and like,

1255
00:49:40,460 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: because New York was fucking with the West Coast. When

1256
00:49:43,140 --> 00:49:47,260
Speaker 2: that Cypress Hill Killer Man came out, oh my God,

1257
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,060
Speaker 2: that was crazy.

1258
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,779
Speaker 1: Rob Markman I like that Cypress Hill, that rock star.

1259
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,609
Speaker 2: Rob Markman You know what else was another hit too,

1260
00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:54,370
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna front? Remember that song? This is for

1261
00:49:54,410 --> 00:49:56,100
Speaker 2: La Raza. Who was my man?

1262
00:49:56,140 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: Kid Frost.

1263
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,820
Speaker 2: Kid Frost. I remember that was another one on the

1264
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,390
Speaker 2: East Coast that was rocking.

1265
00:50:02,650 --> 00:50:03,390
Speaker 1: You like that one?

1266
00:50:03,469 --> 00:50:07,930
Speaker 2: Yeah. Them West Coast videos was playing on Video Music Box, right, Steve?

1267
00:50:08,430 --> 00:50:09,130
Speaker 2: Back in the days.

1268
00:50:10,570 --> 00:50:12,589
Speaker 1: It's crazy how you never know what's that hit, man.

1269
00:50:12,650 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 2: There's another one that was a commercial record, too.

1270
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: God.

1271
00:50:18,820 --> 00:50:21,819
Speaker 2: Remember Rico? It was Rico Suave. Remember? Rico.

1272
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: Rico Suave? Rob Markman I know that when I got

1273
00:50:26,300 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: that Grammy, and I'm surprised they didn't get one, but

1274
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,860
Speaker 1: I know the artists that were nominated, they were Latino

1275
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: for Grammys.

1276
00:50:34,219 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 2: Rob Markman Definitely.

1277
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,720
Speaker 1: Rob Markman And I'm the one that got one, but

1278
00:50:38,180 --> 00:50:41,109
Speaker 1: I believe they deserve one. Cypress Hill was one of them.

1279
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,860
Speaker 2: Rob Markman I mean, it's a big market that we

1280
00:50:42,910 --> 00:50:46,770
Speaker 2: don't know about. We came out with Jensen and Vandell

1281
00:50:47,130 --> 00:50:48,790
Speaker 2: a long time ago. I don't know if you're familiar

1282
00:50:48,810 --> 00:50:52,370
Speaker 2: with them. They're a big group. And they had J.Lo

1283
00:50:52,469 --> 00:50:56,580
Speaker 2: out there. And I remember seeing Marc Anthony perform for

1284
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: the first time. And it was like, the crowd was

1285
00:50:59,440 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 2: at least 100,000 people.

1286
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.: Bro, plug me in with Marc Anthony, man.

1287
00:51:02,460 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 2: It was crazy, man.

1288
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.

1289
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,420
Speaker 2: Marc Anthony's the one. That's the crazy.

1290
00:51:05,260 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: Experiences I had. Rob Markman, Jr.

1291
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,859
Speaker 2: Marc Anthony's the legend. Marc Anthony, see him perform.

1292
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:08,730
Speaker 1: Rob Markman, Jr.

1293
00:51:08,739 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: Of course. It was ridiculous. And it was like 100,000

1294
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:17,700
Speaker 2: people there. We just went to Columbia, J Balvin. I

1295
00:51:17,860 --> 00:51:21,980
Speaker 2: don't know how... Trey J Balvin, Osuna, Daddy Yankee. Yeah, Osuna,

1296
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,460
Speaker 2: Daddy Yankee. You know, they did records with G-E-L-L back

1297
00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:25,820
Speaker 2: in the day. And UL, of course.

Speaker 2: with your man JLP, you got to do a record

1306
00:51:41,510 --> 00:51:45,090
Speaker 2: with him. That was amazing. It's like a whole nother market, bro.

Speaker 2: to say that. I'll say God.

1369
00:54:01,130 --> 00:54:04,430
Speaker 1: Just God put me in his hands for greater purpose.

1370
00:54:04,930 --> 00:54:06,810
Speaker 1: I don't know how, I don't know how the hell

1371
00:54:06,870 --> 00:54:09,980
Speaker 1: I met him, but I'll say God and I'm appreciative

1372
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: that he's in my life. And, you know, sometimes I

1373
00:54:11,820 --> 00:54:13,819
Speaker 1: don't like to listen, but I don't know. He got

1374
00:54:13,860 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: a vision for this and I want him to go

1375
00:54:16,060 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: out as one of the greatest. And I'm going to

1376
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: do that. You know, I'm nowhere near being to where

1377
00:54:19,780 --> 00:54:21,700
Speaker 1: I want to be. I got to start hitting the

1397
00:55:08,130 --> 00:55:09,730
