WEBVTT - The G Code Part 2 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.200 They had a big indictment against a Hazard gang out 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:05.880 there in East l A where they fire bombed a 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.960 black family that was living in the projects in a 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:14.640 predominantly Latino area where Big Hazard was at and and 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.600 the Feds indicted them and they all were found guilty. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:22.919 They're all convicted for a hate crime. See here's my question, Um, 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.480 if if a Mexican shoots a black and some gang 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.280 gang conflict, if the Feds want to, they can charge 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.600 them with a hate crime, even though it's not about 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.320 racial hate, it's about this is I want this block. 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:37.040 I want to I want to make the money on 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.000 this block. But the Feds in Washington, d C. Are 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.959 looking at what's going on in l A and are 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:46.320 slapping hate crimes on some of the Mexican gangs. They're 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.320 going to have to giving more time instead of slapping 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.880 them on the risk. But they guess how many times 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.920 a black gang has been charged with a hate crime 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.560 from Washington d C. In l A County. It's never happened. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.680 It's never happened. But you had the Avenues hate crime, 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.080 Big Hazard hate crime, uh tune in fourth Street down 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.959 in Hawthorne. Well, you know a lot of people on Torrance. 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.360 A lot of people tell me the tune in the 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.679 Fourth Street neighborhood. They were racist over there in Torrance 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.480 de Lamo area. Um, I've actually had a lot of 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:22.000 people tell me, now, these Mexicans are different kind of Mexicans. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.080 These Mexicans were pushing a race line against the blacks 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.560 that lived in that area and there was no black 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.160 gang over there. Yeah, they to me like that. Over then, 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.360 uh remember by Manchester part they after changed, they were 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.760 just shooting blacks on the site. Well they shooting these 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.760 they're trying to shoot these Coast Cripts. Well they don't 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.520 like them for show. Yeah, over some drug deal went bad. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.120 Yeah they got them for woo woo, a lot of 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.920 ship in and I mean, but what you expect. But 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.480 that's that's a good example because the East Coast Cripts 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.520 are getting shot up by the F third teens over 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.600 a drug. They took some dope. They basically stole a 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.840 truckload of dope from the F third teams. I think 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.280 this is either ninety nine or two thousands, and the 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.680 F third teams have been hating the East Coast Cripts 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:16.160 ever since. Now they used to get alone. Of course, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.040 they all went to elementary Junior High. But here's the 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.079 thing that the Swans also share a little bit of 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.520 area that F third Team has. And I don't think 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.280 the Swans and the FIR teams have no problems. So 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.720 they don't like they don't like them dudes. Well, I 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.440 think if they don't like East Coast cripts, because there's 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.200 other cripts that they don't know, they don't drip. They 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.760 don't like seven six, that's East Coast. They don't like 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.919 eight nine, seven six, the six pack, eleven eight one nine, oh, 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.440 all of these coastes. They don't like them. And and 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.440 they take that beach to the penitentiary. If you get up, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.720 that'd beep goes straight to the penicentary. They don't like 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.200 the East Coast cript. Well, the dude from the Mexican 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.320 Mafia is the one that got that hit on um 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.160 Costallane know from F third team has been locked up 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.160 ever since nineteen eighty or eighty one, and he's the 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.640 shot caller for a third team. Mess with a black 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.120 or whatever? Do it deal with one they get killed 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.080 and they see you're talking in there, they make they 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.320 green like you to do to do Now, if there's 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.200 any rich philanthropists out there that wants to do some 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:25.240 good in Los Angeles community and help bring two neighbors together. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.359 Pay the debt that the East Coast Cripts owe to 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.120 the f third teams, and you will save a lot 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.160 of lives. That's real talk right there. The East Coast 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.280 Cripts ain't never gonna pay that debt. You ain't gonna 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:43.120 never stop that. If you know, if I call up Mr. Costallano, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.680 who's serving life in the penitentiary, and say, look, what 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.680 can I do to get y'all to stop shooting the 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.760 East Coast is what's he gonna say? Pay us what 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.880 they owe us. And if there's a philanthropist out there 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.280 that wants to pay the hundreds of thousands, if not 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.960 a million, I don't know how much money the dope 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.320 is worth. But if somebody out there wants to do 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.960 some good, because that is the largest Black brown conflict 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.040 in Los Angeles, right You got a lot of blood 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.600 shit and the East Coast is are huge. You know, 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.280 there's a lot of bloodshed. And well, if it's only 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.640 hundreds of thousand dollars they paid advocates that no, I 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.280 think that. I don't know how much dope was in 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.760 that truck. I'm saying, like, let's say it was thirty birds, 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:28.599 you know, fifty birds, a hundred birds. That's still not 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.520 a million, isn't it's a hundred birds of million dollars 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.880 to figure? Thirty thousand, thirty thousand. Uh, say it was 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.320 a hundred birds, So that's what how much? How much? 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.960 How much with a hundred birds cost? How much? Thirty thousand? 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.839 I'm gonna do the math right now. So let's just 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.320 say it's a hundred birds. Back then a little more 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:53.600 and that's three million dollars right there. That's three million 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.720 if it was a hundred birds. What do you think 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.279 it was about? How much you think was in that 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.360 van that they took. I don't know. I know they 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.960 got them good. But what I'm saying this is the thing. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:05.920 And then you gotta remember all the lives that the 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.720 middle lost. That's what That's what like I told you, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.320 that's what happened with it, but on both sides. But 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.480 that's what happened with the truths. Well, that's why it 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.280 didn't work because they started realizing, hey, I don't over 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.279 here party with James, and James is the one that 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.640 killed my brother. Alcohol got in no brother that they 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:29.159 started realizing that's James, that's the one that killed little one, 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:34.280 little John man truths over exactly Well, I mean every 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.520 everyone's got losses on both sides. But do Mexicans look 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.640 at it like this? They so organized. Man, they probably said, 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.400 it's the principle. Now it's not about the money no more. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.600 It's the principle. It's how y'all did that, how we 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.880 had a connect and and and this is how y'all 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.279 got damn, basically saying fuck us. This is how either 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.240 side would think if that side got got Yeah. But 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.560 if you're thinking in eligently, whether you're on the f 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.400 third team side of the East Coast crypt side, you 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.120 want to reduce the amount of murders because it's getting 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.600 in the way of making money or whatever way you're 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.960 making money in the war can go on in the 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.320 city of l A. That ship is going out of town. 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.320 Whatever they're doing and how they made their money goes elsewhere. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.400 That little grumb ship they're doing on the colers that 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:28.200 that's they're doing. That's personal ship. But you're not gonna 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.880 come in here and do me the way you did me. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.279 Take our ship and then clown about it. The war zone, 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.960 the war zone, and that's any side. I mean, look, 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.560 America dropped two bombs on Japan, killed a two hundred 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.480 thousand people, and you're telling me that we can't get 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.560 the f third teams in the East Coast crypt together 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:55.479 over maybe twenty murders, maybe thirty murders. No, it's not okay. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.520 I would if this was nice, made a decision to 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.360 end the war. Ain't. No, none of the kids have 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:05.560 died about a one. But how does the country we started? 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:10.239 We started a war with what? Uh? We didn't start 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:16.360 Bush Junior started a war with with Iraq just because 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.120 that man made a threat to his daddy. And that's 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.200 why that war, and that's why that second one war 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.320 I read, war started and he wasn't gonna stop. He lied, 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.760 he had Colonel Paul go in live. He didn't have 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.440 power life to present that case, so he can start 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.000 that war. And I'm just saying, when you have personal 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:43.160 fillers involved versus and you gotta put the pass in 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.040 the pass and move forward. We look at it like 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.960 that and then it's easier to do it individually, but 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.480 as a gang, as a structure. I got life in 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.080 prison this is this is this is where I'm gonna 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.360 be for the rest of my life. This is what's 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.520 gonna take care of me for the rest of my life. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.920 This is what's gonna keep me alive for the rest 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.520 of my life. All these things you think about being imprisoned. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.240 So why would I sit here and make my people 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.200 think I'm weak by saying, Okay, funk that war, let 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.280 it go, ceasefire is over and done. When we ain't 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.720 set down in the cryption, they the people that they had, 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.800 they don't got, no moved, So you're not gonna get 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.720 one of these little they tried and going here and 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.320 don't know what you try. No one worked on this. 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.960 I'm talking about doing the truths and and doing that 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.439 that was they really tried, the bloods and cryps. What 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:44.480 was out there hanging party. Yeah, I'm just I'm just 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.880 saying they tried to stop the things. I'm just saying 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.640 how personal feeling have ended in l A. For example, 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.520 the Venice Shoreline crypts and to vat thirteens. They seventeen 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.560 murders in a two year period. That beef is over 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.920 for something smaller than it wasn't the principle, but there 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.360 was seventeen murders in eighteen months. That's a lot of murders. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.560 How how long this war been over. It's been over 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.400 since ninety four. It lasted from ninety ninety three to 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:18.600 the ninety four seventeen homicides. Veni Showlines was fighting something. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.000 It's a major connect over there. That's where they're all eating. Well, 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.319 I'm just saying that it's it's possible. It's a good 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.000 thing that it happened. Anything is prossible. And the Rolling 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.320 forties crips and the Rolling thirties Cripts had a tenure 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.960 war from from ninety six to two thousand six. That's over. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:39.880 You know, um totally different. I know, every conflict is 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.000 different when you get in the head. This would be 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.719 the hardest conflict to resolve. This is the biggest one. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.320 Maybe not Maybe if the head boss the mafia's dying 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.880 in prison and they get some new leaders in there. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.760 Let's say they want to squash this and and and 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:00.400 work different, then you got a chance. But not right now, 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.920 because they live in off principle man and and that's 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.400 how they stay strong. I mean, it's all about money. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.559 It's all about money. They want their money but you 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.480 can't look it's hard for a dude in prison and 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.160 really put a lot of value on money too. Though no, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.920 these dudes actually have bank accounts. I mean they want 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.920 to take care of that people, but to put value 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.480 in fact, these guys will make more money if this 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:33.000 conflict is over. This conflict will create more economic opportunities 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.280 for both sides, whether you serve and dope or trying 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.959 to be a Rapper's just everyone. It's a win win 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.360 for everyone. What the Mesicans did, they went into dealing 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.880 with those cats. They start putting their nieces and sisters 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:54.080 into um not not only police academy, but they're selling 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.320 houses and ship, they nurses. They're doing all of that now. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.400 So they invest in their money in a good way. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.800 They got businesses, They invest in their money. Their money 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.720 ain't just stacking up, so they don't need us to 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.560 get rid of that ship no more. They got different connects. 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.880 They went all the way around, and that was one 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.920 of the smartest things they ever did. Exactly they went 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.959 all the way around. When they say, okay, Alonzo, you 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.960 and your son, you're gonna be good people. You're not 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.520 gonna get any trouble. You're gonna we're gonna make sure y'all. Okay, Well, 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.800 well you're gonna be policeman's now I'll go. And you're 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.040 gonna be bringing these drugs into the l A County 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.200 jail for us and into the prison system. And they 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.040 and they're taking care of them. They take that's what's 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.680 going on. Now. Your your sister gonna be a cop, 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.160 she's gonna be. And this is what's going on now. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:48.040 I got a lot of them nursous real estate. They 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:49.720 were they were smart. How do you think they're buying 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.719 and shelling them houses like that? They took them a 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.520 while to get politically connected, but they started. They starting, 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.920 so that's how they was able to go around. And 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.840 we don't need y'all for ship. We need this here. 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.160 But we are never forget this. I'm telling you man, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.640 they man, and and everything they did, everything they did, 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:14.439 it's worked every sense, every sense. Chuse back then if 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.199 you can, if you can, remember, you didn't see them 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.760 letting their their mama's push them cards for the cans 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.240 and ship. They will get robbed. Back in the seventies 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.920 early eighties, they was getting robbed. You didn't see pops 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.520 walking to the store they they're able to move freely 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.160 now because they are't dealing with the bullshit, you know 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.240 what I'm saying. So it's totally different the robberies on 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:41.760 on all that ship is totally all that ship. Don't 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.959 win down, don't changed. Well, if there's any philanthropists out 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.480 there that wants to do some good, hit me up 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.960 because I have a passion with bringing neighborhoods together and 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.959 it would be amazing if there was a way we 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.880 can end this conflict between the East Coast Crips and 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.720 the Floodencia. After that, say gang, but I do know 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.000 that it's gonna take money. But all right, let's move 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.800 on to the to our next topic. This also comes 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.480 from another person online. This was a really interesting question. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.920 How do gang members deal with having relationships with people 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.720 from rival gangs? And let me say, like, for example, 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.319 a blood might be dating a crip, or two cousins 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.760 might be from the opposite side. They might be from 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:32.400 rival neighborhoods. Or a girl that's a blood her father 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.400 is a crip. You know, there's all these bizarre types 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.800 of relationships where people are from the opposite side. James, 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.719 I know you got some first hand experience with this. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:48.160 Give us an example of south side one from Hohover 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.760 one out here in the I E. But but going 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.400 my first mother, I've been. I was with her seventy 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:01.960 five to seventy nine. We had a child. Um going 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.320 over the house she lived in a hundred and eighteenth 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.320 in San Pedro, and going over there to her house, 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.840 you know, it was crips on that yeah, Lemonades Coast 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.719 going on that. I mean, I'm on that block. Now 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.240 back then, I'm catching the bus red chuck, I mean, 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.480 white tennant shoes, red shoes, strange walking up the block 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.680 of Blood and by her being cool with them, some 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.560 of them catching like okay, who whoa you know what 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.840 I'm saying. Damn, But I got my card riding over there, 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.720 spending the night kicking and with her doing my thing. 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:42.160 So basically you're talking about getting a pass exactly, explaining 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.520 to people listening getting the passage. So I'm cool, I 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.400 gotta pass because I was cool with John. Me and 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.320 John is together. John is cool with those cats in 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.480 the neighborhood. But she was from Hoover, you know what 0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:01.640 I'm saying. So they was all good. Like my sister's 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.880 boyfriends were crips, and they used to come to the 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.880 hood and not telling homies as my sisters. Boyfriend lead 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.960 these cats along. You couldn't touch him cow Bold Markets 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.040 and all of those cats from nine A Mafia. These 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.560 was my dogs still right now today. You know what 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.920 I'm saying, y'all couldn't mess with him. So man just 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.240 going over and dealing. And me and my homeboy Master Run. 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.840 We used to go over here on Link Street in 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.040 Maine and all of the hoovers was over there, but 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.800 all my my baby mama, we'll kicking over there. So 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.960 I interact with the hoovers. I interact with the East 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.680 Coast never tripped who was never tripped? Some of them 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:51.240 guys are my dogs, like right now today, Uh my 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.920 boy Duck shout out to Doug, he from five nine 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.280 He from Hoover. I got a lot of people I 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.720 work with. It's through my baby mama's you know what 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.400 I'm saying, All them through my baby mama. And it 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.520 worked that way. How many baby mamas you got? Alright? 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.800 Got three? Okay? And what happened is you you you 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.680 meet some of these guys and then you you've been 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.640 a lost matriens with him. Y'all come cool, y'all former 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:24.440 bond get out. We're still cool. Do you go to prison, 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.760 get out? You cool? My cousins or crypts. So I 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.760 go to thehood, you gotta pass because your cousins ship 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.680 like that. So it's everybody know everybody. Now. I want 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.800 to ask Reggie, do you ever use these people that 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.560 can bounce back and forth between hoods that see eyes 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.320 to get information or gang intelligence when he was an officer. No, 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.200 I never got in the law enforcement that deep where 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.320 that was my father and Brennan and lad and all 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.640 of them that work they got to see eyes and 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.080 stuff like that. Pretty much all of my stuff was 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:02.680 done spontaneous on the street. Um, but I was fortunate. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.480 I was young. I was a young officer when I 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.960 was a copy and I was a lot dinner and 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.600 and uh, I was making money and all of that stuff. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.959 And so I was really messing with all of these 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:20.439 nigga's uh girlfriends or systems. Was single, and I was 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.000 dating women that were dating gang members. Also, they generally 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.480 had to stop or didn't want to because that's the 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.040 problem with the girls. They generally didn't want to be dating. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.280 To me, they of the guys, Well, what do you 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.480 think the appeal is is for some girls to date 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:38.159 gang members that aren't in the game, that aren't well 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.920 someone were Generally they didn't like to because they became 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.520 that that term hood rat. People don't know what a 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.840 hood rat really means. A hood wrat is really a 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.920 chick the dating a dude that's from their hood. Well, 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.960 she got a date at least more, at least a couple, 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.800 you know, not if you just got one. What they 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.880 dated that one? Everybody didn't want to mess with them 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.320 no more. You know what I'm saying, They did want 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.240 or that dude always like nobody wants to mess with 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:10.360 James grow because James. That's what And that's my point 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.199 about that. So that's why the girls usually had a 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.119 problem with that. But I mean we took it to 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:16.960 about females and stuff like that, but I know the 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.960 question was really about, uh, this dude, this was cool 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.320 with it And to be honest with what what what 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.440 taught us to be cool? Not us? I keep saying that, 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.040 so I don't know, I keep using the word else. 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:37.760 But what my experience, my experience was, what was I'm like, quick, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.520 no I'm not, but uh, what what what generally was 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:48.040 was um kinda made me forget my trainer thought talking 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:49.879 like I want to hear about you dating girls that 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:54.040 dated gang. I mean I was on a dated a 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:59.960 girl in every hood that I used to go over there. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.200 I was like, sleep over there later night. I had 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.919 no problems with that. But my point wasn't I married 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:12.000 my wife, her brother Tony Guillory from uh uh neighborhood. 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:17.879 Uh compt and curls my wife. Yeah, that's my wife. Brother. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.359 Me and him was cool to this day. I remember 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.400 it was coming to jail um then every every day 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.639 when I was in the jail. But I was, you know, 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.040 like I said, I was young into into the law enforce. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.080 If you didn't retire early, the fans would be watching 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.200 your every step because they'd be saying, man, this guy's 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:40.000 got a I was fratenization and God forbid when I 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.040 want to start working with death Row. That el Ready 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.439 club incident, what happened. I probably would have still there there, 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.800 but that's when my chief pulled me in. After that 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.360 Already club incident, it was like, your ass better get 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:55.000 out here. I'm gonna fire your ass. But you know, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.760 because we left the scene when when that incident happened, 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.240 So I had to go ahead and left my way 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:04.000 reality there. But my point was the drug game. The 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.240 drug games forgot bloods and crips will be able to 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.760 deal with each other because you leave the crypts, to 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:14.040 be honest, before the ages. We're all going back todays. 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.240 I'm talking about nineties and stuthing like that. This was 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.840 going on before cocaine or anything. Game and his mother 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.960 going to blood getting passes because you talk, that's the 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.320 women they're going across. But they wasn't game. But it 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.400 wasn't as many hoods and niggas didn't have as many 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.280 beasts as they did. You get beating all that, but 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.040 it wasn't that you might killed, you get a whip. 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.679 It wasn't as tough as as it became in the nineties. 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.560 And niggas coming around with eight cas and stuff because 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.000 the game brought the niggas guns and was able to 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:51.200 get the eight k's and riding around and getting mobile 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.120 and all of that. Because you gotta remember the game 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.760 members was young. How James you're talking about Ryan bicycles 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.119 and all of that. He didn't do that late at night. 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.640 But niggas grew up in the games and they got 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.919 older and older. That's why we don't know. People be like, 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:06.199 how are you fifty year old and still claiming?
