18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,479

Speaker 1: they when they when they go ahead and circles and

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,600

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: toes on the earth, And that's when it matters. You know.

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: It's a lot of here saying objection and speculations and

34
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: YadA yadas and whatnot. Um are you but are you

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,120

36
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: of us. Everybody been hitting you know, I've been. I've

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: been getting the emails, you know, from lawyers and everybody

38
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: we can we can send there, you know, the cease

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: and desist letters and all that. While they're coming out

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the woodworks, right, they're coming out the woodworks on me too.

41
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: But I have been telling people since a long time ago,

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: I was telling casting day win when castors like actually

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: change at when I was kind of doing bad, when

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: I was putting my CDs on the block, and you

45
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: know Nicks was talking. I mean he was wrong with that.

46
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Ni Ninka the got over on him. In all honesty,

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: they didn't. I didn't sell my publish it. That's why

48
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: I was one of the number one enemies. He said,

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: no publishing. They okay, well, we can't eat off the

50
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: X because he didn't give us no did in the publishing,

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: So were not put him on this just just din

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: that that's would happen. So let's elaborate a little bit, man,

53
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, we're talking to a lot

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: of people that don't know how to music in the

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: street really functionous for y'all that don't know, you're publishing

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: is your writer's portion of the song. That's your mailbox,

57
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: that's your actual inflection property, that's how you live and

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But when when you want to get groceries,

59
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: you want a hamburger without it is probably gonna come

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: out one of those texts that come to the mailbox.

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, Um, a lot of cats don't know when

62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: they get into the game like I didn't know. I

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: had a home girl that taught me a few things.

64
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: She was like, don't be giving up this, don't do that,

65
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: don't do that, and don't sign this paperwork. I said, okay,

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: so that's what's up in in in in certain situations,

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: I think I was more than naive and stubborn than

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: than actually knowing what was going on, because I just

69
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: felt in my heart of hearts, like, honey, if I

70
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: make that skateboard and put the wheels on it, that's

71
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: my skateboard. So if you come down you're talking about

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: you want to swoopie my hoopie, where you gotta get

73
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: permission from me? I made that skateboard? How many And

74
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: I've had the same thing about the right now? How long?

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: Why am I gonna give you all the money for

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: the stuff that I wrote? And then when when when

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Cast was giving me their logic on that, it wouldn't

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: making sense. Also, it's you know, that's how it's done.

79
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's how it's done. Where the this Yeah,

80
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: dah dah, this is this is the road. I ain't

81
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: to put nobody I having to say that, but it

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: was the role and it was like, yeah, you know

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: you got to play the role. You gotta get a

84
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: role you're publishing, and I'm like, well, a lot of

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I never I never agreed to that. I think the

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: error from music from day one with labels and artists

87
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: and whatever. Labels always sought after securing your publishing give

88
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: me uh. It was another way for them to ship,

89
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: you know. So uh, I think it was every label's

90
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: approach as far as signing an artist to try to

91
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: secure their publishing because that's that long, withstanding money, and

92
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think everybody went through that that. I

93
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: know a lot of a lot of published and never

94
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: it was a thing. Taking your publishing was a thing.

95
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: So did you face a lot of resistance by not

96
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: giving up your publisher? Yeah, I faced a lot of

97
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: resistance because everybody was like X you know when he

98
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: was hearing all the nascy ship about me and you,

99
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: that was done. So um, I wouldn't be out there

100
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: doing my own thing, gloating and flossing in front of

101
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: him with the change that I'm getting off my because

102
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't have to give mind to this this cat

103
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: mm hmm. Be honest with you. When Dre and mad it,

104
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: I would say Dre had just got like I think

105
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: it was like a she wok. Had Win brought up

106
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: two door black joint and Dray had the brown joint,

107
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: yet speakers all down it side of that joint. Stupid.

108
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I made a couple of moves.

109
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: I ran, they got me one. This was about years

110
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: before none of the homies were starting to see their money.

111
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: And the only reason I was able to do that

112
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: because I didn't give it up. I was like nine

113
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: not you know, and um, I made told some people

114
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: we can we can speak and they think they was like, well,

115
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: can I get a percentage of it? And then I

116
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: started thinking that might be feasible. But once you start that,

117
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: despite um, it's all bad. Once you get somebody in

118
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: the door, now they're in your house. I ain't giving

119
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: them no publicy because now you gotta wait until they contract,

120
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: until you think, until they think that the terms have

121
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: been uh sufficient, and you go your way and they

122
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: go their way. They're gonna be in your mix for flapping.

123
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: But what's going on with the catalog right now, with

124
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: the whole because this we're talking this specific. You know

125
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the chronic catalog, man, Well, the chronic right now is

126
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: uh at interscope from what I'm hearing, and um, by

127
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: all accounts, they're striving to get things one huntry with

128
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: all the individuals like they want all the various entities

129
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: about it there. Now you know where it was at.

130
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: It was some people that had their hands in the

131
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: cookie jar. Well when they got pulled down, there was

132
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: no longer were able to and they ain't had the

133
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: power to put it that. They were just some entities,

134
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: you know. I know for a fact when we was

135
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: writing that joint, it was only it was only three,

136
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: it was only three folks in the building, great Snooping myself.

137
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Then we go look at it and it's time to

138
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: get paid. It's about eight writers on there, and surely

139
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have uh people getting paid or writers for

140
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: the sample m hm, you know what I mean, but

141
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: for the actual writing. And that was me and Snoop

142
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: that they credit you for writing. So you do you

143
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: have do you have songs that's ready to get me right?

144
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Let me right? So it has anybody contacted you want

145
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: to do stuff about you know that's gonna come up

146
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: to date and what's your ownership percentage and all of that.

147
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: So you wrote twelve, twelve point five twelve. Yeah, I'm all.

148
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: My tenant knows. It's just that it's just that this

149
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: situation has been going on for a while, and you know,

150
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: it's it's like Charlotte's where you're not and when you're

151
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: going into inscribing and make it correct, you can't just

152
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: going there. And I mean, and you got all, like

153
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: I said before, the nefarious entities that but they convoluted

154
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: in weird ways when they was on their way out,

155
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: they put their little combos shones. They're not gonna make

156
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: it easy for nobody coming after them. So the people

157
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: that comes after them, it's not gonna be no five

158
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: or ten people. You're gonna have to get a whole

159
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: crew to come in and and and and administrate this

160
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: whole mess because it's still a real valuable it's the

161
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: West valuable. But you gotta get it right. And I

162
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: think that's what what this is. Dray's baby, So Drey,

163
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: So just so I got this clear, and we know

164
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: out here spreading no false and from Dre has the

165
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: rights to the chronic He brought the rights back. That's

166
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: his album now, right, It's always been at album as

167
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: far as i'm concerned. But yeah, that's the word, you know.

168
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm saying that it's because because you

169
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: can now pull it up on streets, right, and that

170
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying. It couldn't listen my folks, And

171
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: now I'm striving like Spotify or it was, it was gone.

172
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: You could never listen to any of it in My

173
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: bottom line was crushed because of that. Like I'm gonna

174
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: keep it a buck like you know, I go out

175
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: to do my little hustling thing and that's all good.

176
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: But the main state and the bread and the butter

177
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: was was my chronic stuff you did. So he was

178
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: making a nice piece of money off that. Right when

179
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: you get the message with my bread and butter, it's

180
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: a problem. But then I understood why I didn't at first.

181
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Then one of my cats called me, was like, halm down,

182
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: going to bite the bullet. They had to get everything

183
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: right here to get the ministration right. We strive. We're

184
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: striving to do that now. So it wouldn't believe they

185
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: ain't know. It ain't nothing that my folks did bad.

186
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: It ain't nothing nobody did tideways were usually. It ain't

187
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: something that they usually. It ain't people all the time

188
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: trying to be fine, and sometimes it's just people not

189
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: having to throw understanding of the business of what's going on. Yeah, now,

190
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: it's just not because a lot of us just got

191
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: into the business blind, like a mother a mother to

192
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: be able to just go into the studio or make

193
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: a mother's Remember, the content was popping just to go

194
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: and they were finding that auts like I'm getting fits.

195
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, really wasn't too knowledgeable back in the day

196
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: and all that show. You know, it was just young

197
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: cats who was trying to look to get in the

198
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: studio and trying to make and out of the motherfucker situation.

199
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: And if my home girl had not said don't give

200
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: it up, who knows what would happen. But she said,

201
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: whatever you do, don't sell nobody you're publishing. I said no,

202
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: she said, now that's your money. You don't need that.

203
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: I said, well, so when Cats came at me in

204
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: a way, twisted kind of way, that really put the

205
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: red flags up, like you know how that go, like

206
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: like okay, nigger, I don't like the way that went

207
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: down there. You definitely ain't getting ship. That's what happened

208
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: because you never after the chronic you wouldn't sign with

209
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: Drey aftermath when he left right and then you left

210
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: Drey and you went on you because I remember you

211
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: was on the attack for a minute. For for a

212
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: little hot second you were throwing some darts. Um, not really.

213
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: I would just always be in the m C. We

214
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: was always that's the camp we came in. You did. Um,

215
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: you always had to be on toes. But with any MC.

216
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: So if you just felt like it was, it was yeah, yeah,

217
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: it was funny competition. It was like the way things

218
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: like if I paid football, but we were playing football,

219
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,360

Speaker 1: should playing ball together? Un l V, your relationship was

264
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: a look a bit different because I noticed the other

265
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,200

267
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, I don't know. You know, I

268
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: think we probably took ship a little further than and

269
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: then if I had been just a normal artist that

270

00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then we were some gang banging.

498
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: Asked niggas and Ship and where you feel like I

499
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: always felt like New York was like they looked at

500
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: us a little differently because how we represented hip hop,

501
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And even though we had

502
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: our rap rappers, you know what I'm saying, we had

503
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: young mc s and we had mother fucking hieroglyphics and

504
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, we had Souls of Mischief and Hope Homo Sapien,

505
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: and we had you know, we had Ciper's Hill, and

506
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: we had you know, we had shipped outside cast, we

507
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: had shipped outside of whatever. There was a lot of

508
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: periody on the West Coast. Yeah, we still have a period. Definitely.

509
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: We we had diversity on the West Coast. But our

510
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: standout was our ship. You give me. Our standout was

511
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: that struggle neighborhood rap you get me so, and that's

512
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: what I checked to. Going to New York was always

513
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: tension because we always felt like we were looked upon

514
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: like slightly dang bangers and we were just you know,

515
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: and like I said, I to go to New York

516
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: all the time. It was hard niggas in New York

517
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: to show this. Did anybody out there disappoint y'all? Like,

518
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: because you know I heard it was motherfucker's out there

519
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: booing niggas and all kind of ship. Wasn't anybody in

520
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: particular that y'all saw tripping the kind of disappointed y'all

521
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: you're talking about as far as a man at that time.

522
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: It was just a lot of tension in the audience.

523
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, that was my second source of war.

524
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't even think there was no industry ship, dog,

525
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I think that was like more

526
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: of the media kind of propelled that ship though about

527
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: you know about the the tension, but the East Coast

528
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: West Coast ship and all that ship, I don't think

529
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: that ship was about. No, I'm on mine. That never

530
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: bothered me. The East Coast That's why I mean, Chris

531
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: did the East Coast West Coast color. That's what we

532
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,280

627
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: be this ship? For sure it would. It would be

628
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: if cass was was enlightened to the fact. You know,

629
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: I wasn't either. I wasn't either. But now they got contracts.

633
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about it, it really sounds foul.

634
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: It really does. However, business it's foul. Ain't nothing loving

635
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: in business. So it's a business ploy a move. If

00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: you're spending two million on a situation and that you

637
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: just want to give your money away, that's usually investment.

638
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: The two million you're striving to get four million back

639
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: to you put in til you get back. So if

640
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: you got a situation now then that you invest in,

641
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: they go crazy and get the wilder out they cause

642
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: they're looking out for their entries, like this nigga, don't

643
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: flipped out. You don't put a gun on this nigga.

644
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,960

00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: head man. I got to get some insurance because if

Speaker 1: they knocked it ther head off, that's how they thinking.

648
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: They're not from the hood, so they're not thinking hood.

649
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: They're probably never gonna think hood. So that's what the

650
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: fund's going on. That's crazy. That's crazy to see all that.

Speaker 1: I don't care how hard you are the rules out

663
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: here and the last thing you want to do is

667
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,080

668
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: don't feel responsible for the music that was created in

669
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: our era. As far as what the youth are doing today.

670
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: Do you feel responsible for how that happened? No, I

671
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: don't because because a lot of people push the narrative

672
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: and say that it's because of our musical influence on

673
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: those youths back in the days. It's why ship is

674
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: so fucked up nowadays. Because mc A talked about the

675
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: Hood took him under or drive by Ms Daisy. Yeah,

676

678
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: all that ship then n asks my ship? Who gives that?

679
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: But no, in all honesty, we gotta police ourselves and

680
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: trying to find a skategold and employed it was him?

681
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: It was him, No, it wasn't. That era that we

682
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: talked about. Was the Rodney King era, And we really

683
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: wasn't talking about splattening our homies. We was really splattening

684
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: the time. I'm gonna keep it the buck because they

685
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: was doing us, beating us in front of them. So

686
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: these are the ones we was really That's where a

687
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: lot of the tension come from. It's not a lot

688
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: of uh songs that we was making that we was like,

689
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: go get on to go out and kill people that

690
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: look like you. That's not that wasn't That wasn't the sentiment.

691
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: The sentiment was We're gonna be hard in your because

692
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to knock us, damn And we never it

693
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: was never. It was think people get it confused because

694
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: they're not from here. People get it confused because you know,

695
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: if you would take example of of of songs that

696
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,280

697
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 1: like the hood took me under. I think people get

698
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: it confused because of the tales we told about the

699
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: situations of our era. You know, when I made songs

700
00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:00,040
