WEBVTT - Conversations About Checking In 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.360 Watch up and welcome back to another episode and No 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.520 Sinners Podcast with your host now funck that with your 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:17.720 low glasses, Malone, whether fucking pig? What's the deal? Just here, man, 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.320 just here? Not much else. How are you liking Florida. 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.400 I'm liking it. It's cool. I ran to a little 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.440 bit of a wrinkle. The um the biden Ezuela problem 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.920 is has reached Florida. I went to Walmart the other 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.800 day to try to get some meat and chicken, and 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.880 they were out of both meat and you had to 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:40.680 have like one little thing of ground beef and like 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.120 a couple of chicken legs. That was it. I was like, fuck, ship, 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.120 that sounds like you got some ship right there. It 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.800 looks crazy. No, I just wasn't trying to cook that. 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.960 I had all ingredients to cook other things, and I 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.600 was like, what's going on to why there is no 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:01.880 meat in Miami. I'm not sure. I mean, I think 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.600 it might be the fact that it's like the end 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.840 of the road for like rail delivery, you know, like 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.800 if like they don't grow that ship here, so if 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.759 it's coming in like say like last time I tried, 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.040 I was making postively. I couldn't find onions. Had to 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:21.720 go to three stores to find onions. Not I went 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.479 to that the oranges and cocaine. Yeah, the seven eleven 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.479 I went to have nothing but empty shells. They had 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.320 like two things of orange juice, like the ship, like 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.399 the super pulp seven eleven orange juice that nobody wants 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.600 was the only orange uice they had left. I was shocked. Well, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.880 you know what I find, uh is the shortage of 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:46.959 baby food. Isn't baby food a fabricatedem Yeah, it's got 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.560 a lot of weird FDA regulations and stuff. So I 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:54.600 think that was a significant factor in that. Yeah. I 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.760 was talking with my wife about that, and I said, well, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.320 shod and infants that consume baby food can take the 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.840 bridge as well. So people go ahead to start and 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.760 see my wife says, some women don't produce milk. You 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:11.240 know what. I don't like that, excuse um because it's true, right, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.760 some women don't produce milk, Like when abortions happen, some 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.600 women do get raped, but that's not the majority of 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.560 the problem. Well what about this though, Like if it 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:26.640 say you're kids like eight months old, right, and you 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.760 weaned your kid from like breast milk to formula, like 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.840 at five months hypothetically, I don't know, so like you stopped, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.639 Why would you Why would you wean your child from 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.520 breast milk to formula? I don't know, but like supposed 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.120 hypothetically that you do, and then your body stops producing 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.280 milk and then there's no more formula? Can you produce 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.640 the milk again? Well, I definitely courtesy of Mrs Steele. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.959 I was educated on that because I said some things. 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.240 I said, women need to stop being lazy and breastfeed 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.600 their kid. They're too worried about their figure and they 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.560 nipples getting warped out of shaping all that stuff. I 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:02.920 thought that they didn't want to do it just for 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.560 cosmetic reasons. But I found out that some women just 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.880 don't produce enough milk. Because let's take all my kids. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:14.920 Jasmine was breast fed. Stefan he was prest fed, but 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.480 took the bottle too, because he was so greedy that 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.840 he would make Maria runs ry on milk. She wouldn't 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.280 have enough milk for him, so she would have to 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.040 make him a bottle because he was just that greedy. Chris, 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.920 he didn't want the milk. He he was weird. He 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.800 just wanted to He just wanted to do some weird stuff, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.960 so we had some weird concoction greevance to him. But Jasmine, 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.560 she was fully on prest And I'll tell you something 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.000 that's interesting too. Both of my boys had um, you know, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:48.920 asthma and surass right when they were younger. Jasmine was breastfast. 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.920 You didn't have none of those illnesses. Perfect skin and 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:56.119 perfect everything. Yeah, go ahead, Pete, I said, I think 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.920 that it's probably not too much to suggest that when 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.120 you have a pharmaceutical company that is responsible for making 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.360 most of the formula, that there might be a little 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:10.880 bit of future market incentive with the quote unquote recipe. 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.080 And and I'll resent what you said still, like we 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.680 have to stop coming into a space to where people 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:22.080 are being questioned and then the immediate response is a 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.359 fear or hate, Like if you say something that people 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.440 don't agree with, right, Like let's say if I say 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.120 uh as a talent when I listened to Little NASAs 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:39.839 records at times their corny, right, I'm not almost folk, Right, 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.040 that's just ridiculous. That's just an intellectually lazy response to challenge. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.480 Is his movie, you know, music corny, just like prior 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.040 when I was just saying right now, I'm like, you know, 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.040 like baby food or like abortion, Like abortion laws are 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.320 not rooted in rape, right, It's all about convenience. It's 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.200 not like I'm being pro man or hateful to women 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.400 or a misogynists as you would call it, or chauvinistic 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.159 as you would call it. That's ridiculous. It's just lazy. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.159 Literally you would have to combat the ideas and then 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.160 do the numbers of how many women actually get raped 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.200 and have a bortion versus how many women just have 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.080 a bortion. Well, let me clarify at first, that sounds 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:27.120 very chauvinistic of you. Sound sound it sounded so listen 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:33.799 the clinical definition of listening and hearing, right, Men, Men 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:39.119 listen right, you you listed and you end. Women tend 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.440 to hear right. That's to acknowledge sound. So that's why 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.719 when I say something you would respond with it sounds 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.719 like you're saying, or it sounds like you're no. I 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.200 gave you a list and end. Just look at the 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.800 list and end. It's all real. Like, it's not about 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.920 hating women, are disliking women. I understand that some women 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.080 do not produce milk. But that is not why formula 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:11.880 companies are wealthy. They're wealthy because people are lazy. People 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.760 don't want to have kids because they don't want the 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:18.359 financial responsibilities. That's the majority reason why people. And I 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.680 think that's responsible. I think that's being responsible. It's not. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.880 Nothing about taking a life is responsible. No, listen, I'm not. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.559 I'm talking about people that decide not to have kids 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.920 for the financial ramifications. I think if you can't afford 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.560 to have children, you can't, you shouldn't have them. But 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.880 I think the responsible thing to do would be to 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.840 not have sex, not have six And that's and and 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.200 and that phase right there is what's wrong with with humanity. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.520 And like from a women's standpoint on abortion, women want 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.520 they don't want to cover anything they want to They 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.440 want to get nutted in by who the funk ever, 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.640 and then they want to have an abortion. But they 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.039 want their abortion free and paid for by the taxpayer. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:00.880 And if they don't have abortion, they want to have 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.560 the kid, and they want to put the dude on 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.720 child support. If the dude doesn't have enough money, then 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.040 gets who steps in the taxpayer again, I'm paying for 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.120 abortions and fucking child support via my taxes for more bitches. 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.680 I ain't never fucked and I could ever count. And 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:20.600 that's Pete white man about my white tax dollars. But 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.120 I feel you. I just don't like paying for pussy. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.080 I wasn't there. It's just it doesn't ring well with you. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:33.160 Don't like a pussy. No Sailings, we're gonna get canceled 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.800 because of the first few minutes, remember it off in 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.440 the first few minute. I'm sorry, dadies. Pete is telling 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.840 the truth, but he has to say it better. I 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:48.120 couldn't have said it any better. No Sailors. Yeah, my man, 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:56.320 Peter Bias, resident producer, excuse me, resident managerial expertise, and 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:02.720 the executive podcast company owner Normous Steel for me, my manager, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.400 big stealers in the house as USU. Wow. You know 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.600 if we didn't get canceled in those first three or 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.000 four minutes, man, because right off the head, they're gonna 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.600 be like, first off, glasses is tripping. How dare he 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:21.920 actually compare abortions to murdering life. It's something we're doing 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.680 with our body like it's crazy how they have reduced 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.800 the conversation of abortions to the equivalent of getting a tattoo. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.400 It's like whatever we do with our bodies. Like I'm saying, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.480 don't get a tattooed, but he's telling you this is 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:35.880 the same. But I don't want to talk about that 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.400 because women are already gonna be bad. And I'm sorry, ladies, 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.880 but y'all gotta keep it real sometimes, and we gotta 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.280 keep just like me. And I keep it real with 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.440 me and for me, and that's what this is all about, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:54.200 keeping it real. I was listening to something. Uh it 0:08:54.360 --> 0:09:02.000 was Oh, his name is a Sian Campbell. Mm hmm. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:09.240 I'll see some of his content. Um, he's like a YouTuber. Um. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.800 He speaks from a really I almost want to feel 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.559 like he has a really good, soulful place that he 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.360 speaks from. But at times when I listened to him, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.040 it sounds like he's just really been traumatized and been 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.600 through a lot, and he feels pressure kind of respond 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.080 to certain ways, or he feels like he's catering to 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.000 his audience. That's just my opinion. You don't mean, I'm right, Well, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.520 he's been he's been through some trauma. You know. That's 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:35.160 doggy dogs that yeah, yeah, and and and it's obvious right. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.320 So that's not the point, but it was something he 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.760 was saying. He was having a conversation with Math and 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:49.280 he was saying, he applauded uh pop smoke recipes because 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.479 solid low, because cool young nigga. He said, he applauded 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:58.320 him for not checking in. And I just thought that 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.640 that was a weird thing, right, because I I'm starting 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:05.920 to realize there's an overall connotation with what people referred 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:11.040 to as checking in. Right, So I'm vested, right, this 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.920 is my expertise, right the street urban lifestyle, like more 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.640 than Pete, more than Stills. So Pete, I wanted to 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:21.080 ask you, what do you think people mean when they 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.640 say checking in? I don't know the PRESLA context, like, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.720 how are you how are you suggesting? Well, I'm saying 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:33.120 if a rapper? If so? Right now, within the conversation 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.520 right had being had by the culture, people are saying, 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.440 is it a good or a bad thing to check in? Um, 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.520 that means if you go to Los Angeles, get in 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:50.360 contact with certain Los Angelino's right who have street ties. Oh, 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.400 I guess you ask covered. I don't quite know why. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.320 I don't want to kind of assume what they means. 0:10:55.360 --> 0:11:00.000 But I'm asking what do you think it means? Um, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.440 how that hands on where you're going? But I think that, yeah, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.400 maybe to some extent, there's seems like there's always kind 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:11.959 of an industry like suggestion that if you're in somebody's city, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.840 it's almost like you, oh it to that person to 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:19.000 contribute in some sort of a way to what's happening 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.839 in the city or what they do as like the 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:25.200 leading voice in the city. Still, what do you think, Shit, 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:27.640 I don't think no one should have to check in 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.000 with nobody. Let me ask you this, what do you 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:34.079 think checking in means? I think checking in is alerting 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.400 people that somewhere you're going to a city that you're 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.040 traveling to. Like if I was going to New York, 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.800 if I check in with somebody and say, hey, I 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.320 mean you guys, say you kind of just to put 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.079 them on notice that you in the city. But as 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.200 far as that whole checking in thing that like, you 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.080 gotta let me know. You know how trick Trick was 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.679 shutting down people's concerts and all that stuff, that's ridiculous 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.240 to me. Well, I think that I think Trick was 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:59.520 actually talking about really the promoters. He felt that, um, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.600 a lot of the promoters, right, they were booking these 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.680 out of town acts, right, and um having the Detroit 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.360 audience come through the community right to to provide and 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.720 watch these acts. And he was never the promoters were 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.560 not supporting Detroit artists and allowing them to be a 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.160 part of it. Right, doing your community part like, you know, 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.359 like it were required to lift each urban street community 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.319 out of this level of poor, of poverty and oppression. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.880 So he started to tell the other rappers, Hey, man, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.560 if y'all coming through here, you know, this would be 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.839 dope of you, you know, if you're gonna get money 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.800 in Detroit, to allow other rappers from Detroit, right to 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.440 have an opportunity to share, you know, to share the 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.200 stage so they can entertain Detroit too, because these promoters 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.079 ain't booking them. I actually agree with what Trigger was doing. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.199 I actually think it was really smart. Um, you know, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.720 to a certain extent, Bro, I get it. I think, um, 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.160 you should support the community, right instead of just coming 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.360 to take from a community, you should support it. But 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.920 the whole premise, I understand what trick Trick was doing, right, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.600 but this whole thing where people want to get checked 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.920 in just on some street stuff. We want people checking 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.679 in or you're a mon city without checking in with me, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.160 it's gonna be problems. That's very that's a very ignorant 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.880 mind state to me. But but who's ever said that. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:28.640 You've heard numerous people say that. I've heard a rappers say, Hey, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.040 if you don't check in when you come to my city, 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.240 it's gonna be a problem. I've never heard that in 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.120 my life. Isn't that kind of the whole baseline behind 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.920 like the fact that, like say, for example, there's a 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.280 lot of recording that is done in hip hop in 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:47.840 Los Angeles, Right, It isn't there a relationship between the 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.959 concept that steals talking about and what you're talking about 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.400 and the fact that whether it be Sixties or my 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.760 pirrou or various hoods are working as like security for 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.600 these acts when they come in from out of town. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.840 The Sixties get a really bad rap on what's going on, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.320 and that making a generic game any anyone because we 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.280 know that there are specifically talk about the sixties, Right, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.680 I think they get a really bad rap in this arena, right, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:23.480 um rolland sixty Crip is an international brand. How powerful 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:28.520 it is international within the urban community, street communities I 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.880 don't know, but I know it's out there, but within 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.200 America's borders, it's a really powerful brand. A lot of 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.240 people want to be affiliated with the Rolling sixty crips. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.400 I don't think they have to look for anyone. I 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:47.640 think most people come looking for them and people because 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.960 you want to be affiliated with these brands, right, and 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.080 you want to wear it, and you wanna you know, 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.280 you want to be a part of it, you know 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.760 what I mean, just like any other honey. You know 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.840 it's best if you do community things to try to 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:06.400 help people from the community, right. But I think that's 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.960 what that's my issue in the concept. Somewhere along the 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:16.000 line it became something compatible or comparable to like being exploited. 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.800 And I said, I was listening to math and I 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.000 was listening to us and talk about it, and I 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.680 just thought that was dumb. You mean, not dumb of them, 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:28.400 but that's a dumb concept. And it's weird because like 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.360 you don't check in, people don't make you pay because 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.920 you exist. A matter of fact, people only make you 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.920 pay when you try to use their brand, right, when 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.480 you try to use their brand right, and and any 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.800 any time you do what she'll cost you something like 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.640 this is a brand that people blood sweat, you know, 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.960 ship blood sweat, tears, died killed over, you know, to 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:58.240 protect the the reputation of the brand. Um. But I 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.160 think the concept of checking in has gotten so far 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.720 out of context, rooted in some level of the West 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.560 Coast being like this forceful thing of like oh you 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.320 know what, yeah, you you gotta pay them because this 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.280 it's like, no, people pay people because they want to 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.040 be affiliated. Most of the time. People not taking money. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.240 Most of the time they're offering jobs. Oh you know what, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.320 would you like to be the security while we're doing it, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.960 like by that same standard like when puff had used 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.200 the south Side right now it has such a negative connotation, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.400 but that's dope to employ other brothers from different cities 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.680 and states. For me to hold your common interests while 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.640 you in this territory. Is if you're a real concrete 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.920 player out here, you feel me. Other concrete players respect 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.680 what you're doing. But like if you think of some 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:53.200 of the most no, some of the some of the 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.080 gangs of the communities that's overly represented in the music industry, 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.200 like a gang like Mansfield come to mind, right where 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:05.560 you got t money d Macmka all these niggas, right, Uh, 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.760 they don't have to use force. Like it's some kind 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:13.720 of confusion that that what we do here especially don't 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.400 have value. You feel me like it doesn't have value 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.720 within hip hop and all we do is take from artists. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.080 But let's talk about what the Jungles right there for 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:27.080 Walker Flucker. They created his career at this level. They 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.399 gave him the most outstanding reputation as a gangster rapper 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.040 that any rapper in Atlantic could ever have because when 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.600 he came and did a video in the Jungles, all 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.040 of the blood stood behind him and embraced him like 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:44.720 he was somebody from their community. Like the video might 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.000 have costed twenty thousand, let's say whatever he spin, let's 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.840 say contributed thirty five thousand to the community. That song 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:56.600 made him a multimillion dollar act. Now he's had success before, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.520 and he had some success after, but Hard in the 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.359 Paint he came such a phenomenon right, and it made 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.320 him look really, really credible right as an artist because 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.080 he was able as a Georgia, as an Atlanta artist 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.800 that's from New York. He was able to come to 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.360 one of the worst places in Los Angeles and stand 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.480 with two hundred of the most notorious gang members in 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:27.800 Los Angeles and get support. Like so, I digress. But 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.320 the thought I was having is when I go to 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:36.960 New York, right, I get down and uh, you know Manhattan, 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:45.640 I called my niggas because they're my guys around America. Right, 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.040 It's only a handful of us everywhere we go. So 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.879 the natural thing is to literally brothership and set me 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.160 fellowship with other brothers. That's from the coaching. So when 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.240 I go to New York, I'm gonna hear Trade Pizzy 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.560 out of the Bronx, I'm gonna hear my man Wink 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.000 how the Flatbush Brooklet. I'm gonna hear all my partners 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.520 feel me because I want to see them. So if 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.760 you really a concrete player, you know, a real uh 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.160 some kind of phenomen what you do, if if if 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.080 your ship is what it is, it's you don't even 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.240 feel the concept of checking in. It's totally different. It's 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.600 like letting your people know I'm around, what we're doing, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.720 what's happening. I don't get this whole you feel me, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.359 this belief that you have to pay somebody to be 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.199 in Los Angeles. No you pay somebody to protect you 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:37.520 from other niggas from Los Angeles, because other niggas from 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.119 Los Angeles is looking at opportunities to come up, and 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.920 you may look like an opportunity to pay some rints 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.000 for some months. That's why you start to interact with 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.919 other members of Los Angeles or the concept of checking in. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.560 But I don't think most of these dudes just doing that, 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:58.000 Like somebody like Chris Brown, right, who will get a reputation. Man, 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.960 the people probably ain't whack my nigga. Whack is really 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:05.240 important in that from tree Top. Whack ain't need excuse me, 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.159 Fruittown forgive me. Whack is from Fruittown. Minutes is from 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.479 fruit Town. Whack and minutes don't need no money from 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.440 Chris Brown. Whack had a billy before you know Chris Brown. 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:22.440 He don't need no money. Chris Brown loves what this 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.040 thing that we call the culture represents. He loves the 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.239 brotherhood of it, he loves that togetherness of it. He 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.280 loves the lingo in it, he loves the fashion of it. 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.320 It's a lovable thing. It's what It's what made Snoop 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.600 the greatest artist. For me to come out of hip hop. Ever, 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.159 because culturally it is very fascinating to watch us do 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.200 our thing. But like I said, just listening to them 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.119 two brothers chop it up, because what's weird, Because it's like, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.159 is that what y'all think of us? You think we 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.239 need your money, You think we're just this untalented you know, 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.880 bick You gets a bad reputation for this, and bick 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:03.040 You has a ton of great ideas. He brings a 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.040 ton of value as an elder, somebody who survived the 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.200 worst parts of the life. Can I speaking to him 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.199 real quick? Wrong? You? Can I speak on him? I 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.000 think very I think Big You is a very, very 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:20.280 misunderstood individual. He does a number of incredible things for 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.000 his community. And when I talk about community, I mean 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.560 really the community, the kids, especially the children over there. 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.600 You know, Um, you know you had a youth football program, 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.320 and that's how I met that you. Actually I didn't 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.520 meet Big You on the music stuff and nothing else. 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.160 I met Big You talking mess through Tony Lane through 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:42.000 black tongue about football. You know, get better, Tom. Yeah, 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.399 you talked about a guy that has a program but 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.080 maybe two hundred, two hundred fifty kids in it and 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.800 it's expensive. Front of the youth football program cent in 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:52.879 his base does not pay They don't have money to 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:54.720 pay league fees or anything like that. But they still 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:59.200 play football and all of these and he's genuinely he 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:04.680 genuinely he has his communities, he has he has what's 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.680 best for them, and he's not doing thathing file man. 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.119 I think he's a misunderstood kid. Like I even heard something, 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.520 you know, I even just heard something about him, somebody 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.119 saying what he's dealing with the police. No, he's not 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:19.200 dealing with the police. He has a program to where 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:24.880 he gets funding from the police department for the community. 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.920 But even even entertaining those concepts when you're talking about 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.360 a guy who was transit, you know, transitioned his life 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.760 right from prison into doing positive things for the community 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.879 right a nonprofit. It's all kinds of funding does it 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:46.520 doesn't matter. I don't give a fuck whoever funds these programs. 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:48.840 He's supposed to use the money for the benefit of 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.199 those children. I don't give a funk. If it's the 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.200 wealthiest a trade nigga in America or the wealthiest nigga 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.199 from Engle with families in America and they want to 0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.800 donate to the program. This is this is about black 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.360 is in the ghetto. So I don't even entertain that 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:06.600 silly ship. It's just the concept of listening to people 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:10.160 like people here are just a bunch of guys who 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.000 literally have no talent, and we're just taking it. Honestly, 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:17.359 I don't think people here crushed down enough on the talent. 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.240 I really think Walker fucker pay cheat. Well. You know what, 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.920 the one thing I respected about Walker flock of Dog 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.480 is whatever t Rogers recipes, teacher t Rogers, O G. 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:34.080 T Rogers whatever, t what ya whatever? That plug on 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.919 that recipe is Lucky his son too. Yeah, he's a 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.600 good brother man, and we actually, you know what pissing 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.720 me off about that man. That's why I don't take 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.680 stuff for granted. Now, we were supposed to be starting 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.119 to work on his documentary. We have been talking on 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:49.920 the phone about it. We had talked about it maybe 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.240
