You can't be 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.760 like Hollywood everywhere, and like I'm really I went to 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.800 like seven different high schools. I was like the kid 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.040 that went all over the city was really from the hood. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.400 So when I when that happens, everybody's like calling my mama. 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.000 Everybody's like, Oh, what's gonna have my daddy? He walking 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.560 around with his chest out now you know what I'm saying, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.680 you know, he feels like, Yeah, it's really like the 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.600 most exciting thing is like for my parents to be 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.560 excited because I've been successful, like I've made money, you know, 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.840 and where I'm from, Like not a lot of people 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.400 make it from our particular section of Los Angeles, So 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.079 I've already been in my hood, like I got love 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:37.600 and stone up. So it's the larger cosmopolitan success just 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.959 like different. Yeah, and your bold at hell too, because 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.639 like even just your story from you just approaching people 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.679 and you know, because I think sometimes people would be intimidated, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.560 you know, to do the things that you've done, like 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.360 to approach like a John Singleton or to be like 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.080 I'm gonna write and produce and direct this and as 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.880 a teenager, and he kind of banged on me. Actually 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.880 that's not, that's not fair, Like he was the one 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.720 who was bold, I was chilling. I was working at 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.000 Sony under the head of physical production, and he had 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.000 a relationship with him, and Nega didn't want to meet me. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:08.640 He didn't want to suck with me, like na noa. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.360 And because you know how like when white people make 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.760 comps of people of color, you know, people of color 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.240 all be like, we're not all the same, We're not 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.480 a man living. So John was a big proponent of that. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.160 So he'd be like, stopped telling people that this kid's 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.160 meet like, that's not that's not. At first I thought 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.040 he was being disrespectful, but what he was really trying 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.120 to do when I met him, he said, don't say 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.800 you're gonna be me. Don't let nobody else say you're 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.520 gonna be me, because you right. And that was like 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.200 his since say yo, the way of like educating me 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.239 even before I met him. So when I finally met him, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.440 because I had done something of of of Mary, then 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.560 he embraced me like I was his child. And that 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.200 was when it was like but he pressed me, he 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.040 like ran upon me, like so who who who the 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.160 fun you think you are?

All right, Now, what are the rules 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.520 when it comes to like if your crip a girl 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.920 is a blood, you're gonna get set up, knocked down 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.840 on the gig. Really, that's something good, dog. Yeah, it's 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.640 not like I said, I mean we do. Wait, so 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.599 what do you think? Because it's like Romeo and Juliette, 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.200 like the Montacus and the Capitulat, people like because we 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.560 have you know, we got beat dogs fight beat dogs. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.000 We got rips fighting chrips like what people don't understand, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.599 especially in Gang bang in which I hate to like 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.960 make this the centrifugal force of this conversation, but crips 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.240 for crip.

There was just like 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.040 a section like paroules like they was just different. So 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.839 it was just the nigs who didn't want to join, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.120 and they got into it first. So it's always been 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.919 in fighting, like any government body that's being formed early, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.760 like everybody be fighting. So at some point it becomes territory. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.040 And if a girl from a certain territory, like man, 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.000 we were stalled life on that on that two twelve, 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.520 that two ten bus trying to get to some pussy. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.800 We ain't handle business show for shure, but it builds character, 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.400 doesn't make you think twice Like I don't know if 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.520 I should go talk to her because yeah, if you 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.480 were ye, if you you ain't gonna like if you 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.200 excuse me, uh where I'm from?

So until I started handling business 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.800 for the house, I didn't even know how old she was, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.280 so men was hollering at her in the car and 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.079 the Ford Explorer like I'm like teen, and she like 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.920 them like leave my mom. I remember I popped out. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.840 We was at what County build and she was working 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.840 at good Will. I must have went off on one 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.600 of the little workers, like I went crazy, like good 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:45.960 Will crazy.

Say though, when you would 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.040 get like my mother, at some point it became like 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.800 at first I was a good kids, so I was sweet, 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.120 SO was different, like I had a mouth for me, 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.360 but I didn't have a hand yet. But then when 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.280 I developed the hands at thirteen, it was open. She 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.600 couldn't say nothing. We got beat up at first. That's 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:09.640 how you learned how to fight. You get hit in 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.400 the face. Who did you go to when it came 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:17.320 to you learning about sexual mom or your dad street Street. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:22.800 That's really a crazy education. Mann, think about it. Until 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.080 right now, I didn't really know. I don't know this 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.240 is counch. Something wrong with this counch.

Kind of wild? 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.560 Right now? I was going to say that, A it's 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:11.720 so funny to us. It's just regularly like yeah, when 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.119 I'm there, I try not to do nothing and not be, 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.280 you know where I'm not supposed to be, Like I 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.880 just my my business. I like go to my room, 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.119 go to whatever I'm supposed to, just because I feel 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.800 like even in my hotel, right I was staying at 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.040 the one that's like my favorite one hotel of course. Yeah, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:29.720 and so there I was like, I'm gonna go to 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.880 Pink Dot and grab something at the front. I say, 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.320 were like, yeah, right across the street. That's why you 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.400 because it was right across street. I needed tampon. Pink 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.400 Dot is like a delivery service with the ghetto ass 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.119 clown car and then delivered three literally right across the street, 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.520 and I needed to go. Yes, they told me not 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.000 to go. That's funny, And I was like, I can't 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.679 walk across the street to get tampons, yeah, because they 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.520 didn't have any at the desk. People hype it up 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.040 like like my city has always been dangerous. But I 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.879 told the homies. Just like three years ago when we 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.040 first started shooting raising and I told everybody, I said, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.280 this is what's gonna happen. The worst thing the government 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.440 could have done was print overprint all that money and 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.040 give it away to people. That's what Trump did to 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.200 keep niggas from tripping. And so the moment that happened, 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.439 niggas went and brought shells, guns, straps and designer clothing 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.920 and they got no more money. So Nick's gonna be 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.680 robbing you in the or and that's what's gonna happen. 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.000 And less than six months later started remember a being 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:26.000 I was out with you. We went out beach. I 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:30.480 had an appearance right at Capital Postal. You know, black women, 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.080 she owns this mail delivery service. We can do you whatever. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.639 So after where you know, some of some of my 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.560 friends came and they were like, we're gonna come. They 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:39.920 want to make sure it was good. We went out 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.679 to go eat. What happened, Well, we went back to 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.679 the hotel, we left, they went home and one of 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.960 them ended up getting rock gunpoint right right after we left. 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.400 Female guys and they were like, you guys, don't wanna 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.480 don't wanna come kick it and you were like, nah, 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:02.120 I'm going to do that acting. When you said it, 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:07.600 say it again absolutely, like this act is not leaving, 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.400 it's not going anywhere anywhere. She moved to Alaman, New York. Yeah, 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.520 I'm in l A. Now what welcome to the appreciate 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:28.800 where or don't. Yeah, I ain't gonna pretend right now. 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:30.240 Like I say it right now, if you're with me 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:31.720 and my niggas, then you with me and my niggas. 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.919 But when you're outside of us, ain't nothing we can do. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:40.240 I'm on my business because I'm from New York woman, 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:44.320 and you gotta go and alerts. So in l A. 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.120 It's not my city. And I'm also like, I don't 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.359 be outside. I'm not like my home body. I go 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:55.160 out when I need. But the city is kind of hot. K. Yeah, 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.719 it's hot. But I think also like there is a 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.480 lot going on. But to your point, that's what I 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.040 used to. But I think the Internet also heightens things 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.280 because you see videos like tweets and things. Yeah, because 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:07.440 at the end of the day, and this is the 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.480 shift I hate because like there's an election coming up. 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.879 We got caring bass running, we got even in New Jersey, 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:13.800 they're just have an election. Like there's there's like local 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.600 really important things for like things want to talk about 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.960 the presidency and like your local election matters more more 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.160 don't none of them is they marks? But but but listen, 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.879
