00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: a lot of ship needs to be discussed because and

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: I think it could touch better on that because they

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: have these rappers and then you know, these brothers just

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,240

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: lot of hip hop shootings lately. You know what I'm saying,

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,720

00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920

31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I want to say love with it, but you know

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: our affiliation with with gangs and guns and that sort

33
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,000

00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: kind of you know, if you want to go up man,

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,120

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: gun violets. Let's put it like that. Uh, it's been

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: going back forward. Don't kill people. People kill people. Guns

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: are involved when when some choose not to fight, fight

00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: it never got to that point if y'all showing each other.

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: If it weren't to fight, everybody went the cheval ways.

Speaker 1: of these cats were were partners at one time. So

154
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that it was game banging. I think

155
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: you probably had a little jealousy or something in the

156
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: middle in between that that separated those cats before they

157
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: went on the blood and cryptane, you know what I'm saying.

158
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: So you know it's more to it than the blood

159
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: and crypt things, because these cats were pugnants. Well, I

160
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: don't mean to cut you off. This would this would

161
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: kind of set the tone. Um, they did this this

162
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: rap album that was called six Pack, and and it

163
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: left MO three off. Now arguably everybody in the metric

164
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: pleas would vote More three as the most chalented. He

165
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: could sing, he could wrap uh and he had the charisma,

166
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: so they intentionally left him off. So when they left

167
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: him off, he drew a line in the scene and

168
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: begin attacking of the other artists. Man and so uh

169
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: he was gangster. Uh. He know what it's like to

170
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: be home where and he could any in mind fighting

171
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: and he gonna shoot that pilst Uh he ain't gonna

172
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: pay nobody to get it. And he gon come to

173
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: their neighborhood because they were free. And so he knew

174
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: how you know, he knew he could bully uh. And

175
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: so when when you have those three, they all from

176
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: different hoods, right, they're all from different neighborhoods. And so

177
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: from that aspect, more three got his blood partners with

178
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: it and and and so ironically the gangs down here,

179
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: the police call them hybrid games. Now right there classic

180
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: the classified in the police department as hybrid games. So

181
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: you're at the gang gang. You got bloods and trips

182
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: who hanged together. And then the click. So they they

183
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: banged together at a gang game, but soon as there's

184
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: a dispute, they fall apart. And now they go back

185
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: to gang banging with the cripping blood stuff. Right now,

186
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: theyn't know where each other live now theyn't know where

187
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: each other girl live because they were gang ganging at

188
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: one time. So they're playing a very dangerous game. So

189
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: that's how all these houses canna be shot up now

190
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: because they don't play a game game and when something

191
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: happened now they got to go back and gang bang.

192
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: So basically this stems from cats, you know, like you said,

193
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: we know the affiliation thing. Like I said, I didn't

194
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: take plenty trips to Dallas. Uh so i'ma i'm I'm

195
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the areas in the different neighborhoods and

196
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: especially in Oak Cliff. Um. So, um, it seems like

197
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: that it's stemming from you know, did they purposely, you know,

198
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: want to leave more three off the project? Who? You know,

199
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: what was the decision behind that? Because if they all friends,

200
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: I know, jealousy is a lot of like you said,

201
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: jealousy is a motherfucker. And I guess they feeling like

202
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: he was the old, the upper echelon of talent, so

203
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: they decided to not include him in the project. And

204
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: like you said, a lot of riffs can be formed

205
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: within friendships as far as money gain popularity, especially when

206
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: you're getting into this rapper world. Yeah, Oh, I can't

207
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: tell you the decision that was made behind it. We

208
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: just know what the response was. Uh. It created, Uh

209
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: the tension that like a the volcanic explosion. Now, keep

210
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: in mind, by him being left off that six pick

211
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: prior to his death, other people have died behind this.

212
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: This beef just animosity, this envy, this jealousy. So they've

213
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: lost friends on both sides. So by by him being

214
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: left off, this just just six pick line up. So

215
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: he's traveling from Dallas and now it's coming to Fourth Work.

216
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: It's some Fourth Word rappers on there, right, So now

217
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: he beefing with the Fourth World rappers. So when more

218
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: three come to forth Work to do a show after this,

219
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: they put him in a position where the Fourth World

220
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: Rappers they for the class, and they put him in

221
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: a position man where they had to shoot their way

222
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: out of a club and kill somebody. So and one

223
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: of his songs, or if you look at his lad

224
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: TV interview, he talks about when he caught a murder

225
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: case and they had to spend ninety thousand dollars and

226
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: he went broke trying to beat that murder case in

227
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: his defense. Uh and and and may God risk half

228
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: hit Soul, and and and and I know his family

229
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna see this, but half Heck was wrong, and they

00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: put More three in the back of a club after

Speaker 1: he had already performed at the Strip Club. They brought

232
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760

00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: so go yeah Yo, go be at the club. He

236
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: was just trying to fight him at the Strip club.

00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,880

252
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: lot of people celebrated his death because of that. But

253
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,200

254
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: to get home. Man. So it's been a lot of

255
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: deaths that have centered around the beast between these local rappers,

256
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: not just Mo three or Trap Boy Freddy and Yellow

257
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Busy Man. It's been bougott A casino, CJ Casino, Go

258
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: yah Yo man, nigger shot. They were shooting a video

259

00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: they go by shoot up another killed two more. People

262
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: say how many they got? A sixteen year old rapper

263
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: named j Dub. Everybody who this him? Come up? Shot

264
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: this young nigger here sneaking the strip club and shoot

265
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: ro man. Then go to the studio and wrap a

266
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: by it. So it's like it's like they have no

267
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: content if they don't have no real life street shooters

268
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: and murders and beef. It's like this is where they

269
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: draw their content from. It's the cloud, it's the it's

270
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: it's the it's the cloud of the recognition. You know,

271
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: the harder or the or the more beef or the

272
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: or the or the more stripes you get it. Basically,

273
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: that's what we used to claim as our victory in

274
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods. You know, the more stripes you get, man,

275
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: that makes you official and authentic. So but it's just

276
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: it's just unfortunate that a lot of these cats are,

277
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, coming into the rap game and now you know,

278
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: hip hop is being seen. You know, we were always

279
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: caught in this negative light to begin with. It's just

280
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: unfortunate that that now hip hop is being labeled again

281
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: as this vicious ass motherfucker's ship because we got logan

282
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: standing beefs as far as territorial and niggas don't know

283
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: the history behind you know why niggas is upset with

284
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: each other, But niggas need to understand that a lot

285
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: of it just stems from claiming blood and crypt period period.

286
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: May man. I wanted to add this, Man, I just

287
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: left my partner, Joe Blow. How Joe Blow started the

288
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: regency Old Bloods and Forward Texas And before I came

289
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: out here to do the inter of you, I told

290
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: him eight. I told him to line up and he said, say, man,

291
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: I remember Darling Gerald, they were two big time dope

292
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: get a twin niggas in the early naty. They brought

293
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: MC eight to Forward, Texas over there wood Haven, right

294
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: and say some cryp niggas. Right. My nigga said, say, man,

295
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: we would go go by there and shoot that bitch up. Homies,

296
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: just let em cate and them have it because m

297
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: C eight with him and Quick with beefing at the time, right.

298
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting here thinking eight had no idea that

299
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: they were gonna come shoot that place up. He was

300
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: kind of on the outskirts of their neighborhood, of blood neighborhood,

301
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: so they would just go still a car, abandoned the car,

302
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: and just go chill in the motherfucking apartment complex and

303
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: go watch it on the news. So it's kind of

304
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: similar to what happened to Boosty. You come to these areas, man,

305
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: and because they love DJ Quick, the love for Quicker

306
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,760

Speaker 1: they they're telling the young niggas to get to the side.

339
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: or got our life together? So uh, that's why I

340
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: went to California home to come make the connection with

341
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: the California niggas so we can get the old troop. Uh.

342
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: Don't nobody know? Uh Uh, you can't. You can't age

343
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: out of the games in California Home. The nigga can't quit.

344
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: We can quit down here in the South. We can

345
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: kill in our teams. We can kill in our twenties,

346
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: go to prison, come home fifteen year later. Half some

347
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: kids go get a war house, y'all and play granddaddy,

348
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: and nobody's looking for us. We don't have to look

349
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: over our shoulders. California gang bangers don't have that luxury, right,

350
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: So you guys set that trend for us. On A

351
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: nigga from California can come down right now and go

352
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: to talking in the neighborhood and everybody listened to him

353
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: just because he from California, because y'all set the trend

354
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: for us. Same with our parents. Uh, before game banking came,

355
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: anybody who came to the South with California play was

356
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the main just because they were from California. So we

357
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: honored the culture so much for me. That is what

358
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: y'all say, is what y'all do. Y'all set this trend

359
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: for us. So what's does happen now? Chicago, right, y'all

360
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: had the gangsterism, Now we had it, We master p

361
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: got it and brought it to the hustling thing. It

362
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: moved over to Atlanta, it went to trap music and

363
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: strip club music. Now it's to shift it up to

364
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: Chicago with the drill music, the the old blocks, the

365
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: the Tooka Viels, the the little Ducks, the chief Keys.

366
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: So that's the NASA killing machine. But were still on

367
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: in California. So California can come back and undo what

368
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: y'all see that is going down here in the South, man,

369
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: just like we got, Uh, the hip hop tools. We

370
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: need all the original crypts. They're still alive. They need

371
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: to go on the tour and come down back to

372
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: the South and hit these saying a little small country town,

373
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: I brought Baba Louis down here. Man, I'm gonna put

374
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: four in the pocket. I said, oh wait, it's God Damn.

375
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: They passed the plate around. Man, all blood niggers, I'm saying, Man,

376
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: he grown, nigg Is still worship is still a superhero.

377
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, man, do you think, um,

378
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: you think these young dudes are listening man, because they're

379
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: doing a lot and you know the sad part of

380
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: but it. Man, I'm just listening to the thing. You know.

381
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: My men eight goes down there to do a show

382
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: and he seconds away from getting the home joy, he

383
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: sprayed up and don't have no clue. He thinking probably

384
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: like I'm in Dallas, Texas, I'm cool, I'm in the South,

385
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: were cool, serious love down here and you just don't know, man,

386
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: It's like it's a sad situation. Bro. Well know, I

387
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: never never I never thought like that. I never I

388
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: never thought like that going to places where I knew

389
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: niggas was banging. You feel me? I never did that.

390
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I never anticipated. Basically, when I went to towns, I

391
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: knew what hoods where I was going. I would ask niggas,

392
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: what's over here, what they're doing over here? Who? So

393
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: I was it. I was up on it. But the

394
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: thing about it was it was a businessman. You get me,

395
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna turn down no bread. So I

396
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: didn't care if crips booked me, Blood's booked me, whatever,

397
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: If they booked me and they paid that fee and

398
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: that contract was sawned, I was coming. Now did I

399
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: know that it was blood niggas in town and it

400
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: was Krypt niggas in town and so and so and

401
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: hell yeah I did. But man, I was the bread

402
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: and doing my thing and getting money and whatever. So

403
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: what he's saying is that, uh, because I I accepted that,

404
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: as I accepted that, and basically knowing what I had

405
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: represented through all I was banging and claiming crypt and

406
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: all that. So when I went to other towns, I

407
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: never estimated because they was from Texas or Milwaukee or

408
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: Chicago or whatever. I said to me, just pulling pistols

409
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: just like we do out here. So it was just

410
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: the precaution of knowing who you was dealing with, and

411
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: when we knew we was probably out of bounds in

412
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: wrong neighborhoods. Yeah, you better known that we was probably

413
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: strapped ourselves at the club. That's what it is in

414
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: a nutshell, you know, because I'm it's just the product

415
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: of the environment of what I came from. So I

416
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: knew that lesson, never go to nobody's town and and

417
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: underestimate them. And I'm knowing because of what my affiliation was,

418
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: I might want some bloods in town and it might

419
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: go down because that's just what just what happened. And

420
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: I entered because I talked through my hip hop career

421
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: and my rap career in the early stages of my career,

422
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: I was still representing the neighborhood to see, that's what

423
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna make note of, uh Man

424
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: when MC eight role and and and minister society and

425
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: in our minds in fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen

426
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty with the undeveloped brain, right, Uh, that's what we're

427
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: dealing with. We're dealing with twenty five and under the

428
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: undeveloped brains of the youth, right, the delinquency say nigga.

429
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: That nigga was the character that we saw a minister society.

430
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: You can't tell us that ain't who him the eight is,

431
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: You can't tell him. So of course the opposition look

432
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: at him like who he is in the movie. Man,

433
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: we would love to get it that and then you

434
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: got the ones who don't brought him down here and

435
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: let's go protect him and guard him because he's a jewel.

436
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: Meant anything from California can come down. That's how we

437
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: got played on on me. See, that's how the niggas

438
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: came out of California played on them with the game

439
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: bag and said, we don't know who real, We don't

440
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: know who running out of Cali out of fear. They

441
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: just came and whatever they put down they put down.

442
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Some of us was lied to on me. Some of

443
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: us were some of us. If we go name some

444
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: nigga's name to put us down to Callie, we might

445
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: get smoked. You see what I'm saying. So a lot

446
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: of us got played. But we don't rep for so long, nigga.

447
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: We don't suffer and struggle for so long. Man. We

448
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: can't quit now. We gotta gone gone go through with

449
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: it because we look like and if we and if

450
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: we relinquished this identity, if we if we said this

451
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: image and we ain't never stood as man, and then

452
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: what do we if I can't be a cript if

453
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: I can't. So that's where we leave the brothers with

454
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: it four then fifty years old. But what I saw

455
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: when when when when the California niggas come down here

456
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: and introduce us to the truth and tell us the truth.

457
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: That's how we get free. Because when y'all come, all

00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: up go to work. I didn't know men work. I

502
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: thought women worked and Uncle Wayne niggles. I thought niggas

503
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: were like Uncle Wayne, you know, lay around lady around

504
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: in the streets. So growing up man and that in

505
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: that single parent home. Uh, when I when I when

506
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: I when I Every man in my family been to prison.

507
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: Granddad has been, Uncle Wayne been, Uncle Curtis, mama cousin.

508
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: When I spent the night at my homeboy houses, their

509
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: dad was in prison, their brother was going to prison,

510
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: their uncles were coming home from prison. When I put

511
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: on my headphones or eighty nine, Here comes Gangster Route. Nigga.

512
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: Gangster Route solidified and propagated what I saw at home,

513
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: what I saw at my friends home. When I cut

514
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: on the videos. The videos solidified it. So then when

515
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: I started leaving outside of mama house and looking out

516
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: in the community, I noticed when, when, When, When? When Googie?

517
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: When Google came home from prison, Man, that nigga had

518
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: a big old prison welcome home party. And when my

519
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: cousin Tosh graduated from high school, Man, it wasn't no

520
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: bunch of people there. So in my young and impressionable mind, Man,

521
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: I grew up believing that going to prison was a

522
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: part of manhood because nobody ever came back and told

523
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: me anything that about it. I'm listening to the lyrics

524
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: on me so as I'm walking neighborhood and men and

525
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: my niggas together and we're thinking about what to do,

526
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. Somebody say, Man, what's what

527
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna do? First thing? And they're gonna say, well,

528
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: what would ice Cube do? Right now? This was literally

529
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: what the nigga would say at twelve and thirteen years old,

530
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 1: based on the lyrics that's how we behave. So when

531
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: when we heard or Easy heating them and hunting miles

532
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: of running something about raping nick, you don't think we

533
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: ain't rape. MAMAA moved us out here with the white girl.

534
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: You don't think we didn't take no puss. So then

535
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: when saying with pim C Nigga, I kicked in the

536
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: dough and fuck his main. Honey, honey, I'm looking at rape.

537
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at kids now, man, we man, I'm listening

538
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: to the lyrics as a kid. I'm writing them down. Man.

539
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: You don't think I don't know him c A lyrics.

Speaker 1: watching minutes to society. You don't think, man, that's how

544
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: that's how we go go put in work. They gave

545
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: us the blueprint through the rap culture, through the rap music,

546
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: through the lyrics, because no one sat us down and

547
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: deciphered that right Mama Mama was saying cut that ship out.

548
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: She wasn't trying to say, boy, let me hear what

549
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: you're listening to, so she can help me to understand

550
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: that these they they're talking about things that they have seen,

551
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: that this is not what they're living. Now. We believe

552
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: that y'all was living at eight yeah and so and

553
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: so we right, some of us wore Like myself. I

554
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: won't speak for every rapper, but myself I gained bang.

555
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, I was basically the same nig as you were. Um,

556
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: single family home. Uh, moms was good. I mean, you know,

557
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: I went to a nice school, but like you said

558
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: that there was no man in the house. I didn't

559
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: have no grown up influences. My mama was the influence.

560
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: Uh So, basically I grew up influence by the niggas

561
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: on my block. Who was serving and who was representing,

562
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: you know. And as I started game banging claiming trag

563
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: New Park. You know, this was way before I even

564
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: picked up a microphone. Everything to me was banging track Newport.

565
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, I saw crack. You know, we hustled our

566
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: co I sold gun. I mean, you know, I carry pistols.

567
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: You know, we cruised around and jumped out on the

568
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: enemy and did whatever we had to do because that's

569
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: what I figured was what the niggas should be doing.

570
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: When I started rapping, my rap wasn't to basically go, hey,

571
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: here's a blueprint to how you're supposed to bang. My

572
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: wraps were basically to go, just what's going on over

573
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: here on the West Coast, this is what we do

574
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: in trag New, in Compton, in l a, watts Long Beach, whatever.

575
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: So to some of us, the influence that it had

576
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: on other towns, we really didn't focus on the fact.

577
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: We were just going, Hey, we're gonna tell y'all how

578
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: we get down in Campton and that's how we live.

579
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: And then as people started to pick up on it,

580
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: it just turned into that nationwide influence. Like you said,

581
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: the brothers who were lost, brothers who were you know, uneducated,

582
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: who didn't have love from you know, a father or

583
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: representing moms was everything. And like you said, me, my

584
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: mom's with the work from eleven o'clock at night to

585
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: seven in the morning. I got into all kind of

586
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: ship you feel me, because it's what I saw niggas

587
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: on the corner swang and nigga's gang banging, cripping and

588
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: blood and dry byes and ship like that. So that

589
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: was my influence. So to depict that on record, and

590
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: now it's across the world and you know, niggas in

591
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: Texas get to listen to it in Atlanta. And just

592
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,239
Speaker 1: like I used to tell Motherfucker's, it's people like us

593
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: everywhere you get, Yeah, it's biggest like us everywhere. So

594
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: now we got niggers down in Texas claiming neighborhoods and banging.

595
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: You got niggers and projects over here claiming and banging. Because,

596
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: like you said, as a young kid, to watch Colors,

597
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: even myself before I even started rapping, to see Colors,

598
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: that was like, oh, ship, nigga, is this is it?

599
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: There's nothing else that life is supposed to be but

600
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: what that is right there? And I truly thought that myself.

601
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: So so so when I went into the juvenile system, man,

602
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: that's when I got introduced to gang banging. Mom moved

603
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: out of you know, she moved out of stop six

604
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: out of four where we went to the suburbs. When

605
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: I finally got introduced to gang banging in the juvenile

606
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: system home, it was everything I was looking for coming

607
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: from that single parent home. Uh, I joined, you know,

608
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: joined in work my way up the hierarchy. You know.

609
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: It was a little nigger, became the gang leader in

610
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: the juvenil system ran it developed the hell of a reputation,

611
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: and so the state recommendation was for me to go

612
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: to prison. Man, I earned that recommendation. I had four

613
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: house parents. Uh. They worked on the dorm with me. Man,

614
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: they put their jobs on the line. They could recognize

615
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: that I really was a good kid. I just knew

616
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: how to mimic that ship, real good holdy uh. And

617
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of visits and they said, man,

618
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: this kid get a lot of visits from his mother,

619
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: and they can tell I come from good stock. So

620
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: they was willing to put their jobs on the line, man,

621
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: and come back and testify on my behalf. Rather than

622
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: just transfer me to the doug prison system, she recommitted

623
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: me back into the Texas Youth Commission. So I end

624
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: up standing a total of seven years from fourteen and

625
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: twenty one. So I'm what what we call a state

626
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: baby homey raised by the state juvenile system. I got

627
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: out uh in ninet. My record was sealed. Right, So

628
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: my record was sealed, so there's no history of me

629
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: committing that murder. Nless I catch another felony. So I

630
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: don't have no felony convictions, had been the prison. So

631
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: when I got out in mentally, I was still fourteen, right, nigga,

632
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: get locked up in fourteen, get out at one. You

633
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: got this big old gap of no life experiences. Nigga

634
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: didn't know how to talk to girls, didn't know how

635
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: to rod the buck. But when I got out, Master

00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: p had just dropped ghetto dope May May May, May

637
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: May crack like this. So when I'm stepping out and

638
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: I look out into the community and every the dope

639
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: game was damn there like the eighties, it was. It

640
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: almost made logical sense. So Master Peter talked to you

641
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: how to cook crack on the album from step one

642
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: to step ken. So I followed. I followed the culture

643
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: home me. Nine months after getting out on the murder charge,

644
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: I get caught with channing pound two pistol, cross the

645
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: state lines, taking the trial, have a mistrial. They offered

Speaker 1: me six month prison boot campfire you the fur probation.

647
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: I jumped on it. So I go all through my

648
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: twenties submerged in the criminal elements of society, trying to

649
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: find that identity, because my identity was attached to the

650
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: crypts in the in the state school. Now, gang banging

651
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of is at a is at a flat line

652
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: after parking died, petn't come in, So it's kind of

653
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: like at a flat line, right. Uh, I need an

654
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: identity as a man. Home. Theyin' never seen no man.

658
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: trying to find an identity as a man. So it

659
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: wasn't until I started having children around age twenty six

660
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,279

Speaker 1: The nigga don't know nothing about being a goople nor

663
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,960

00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: Man went to the community college. From community college, Man,

Speaker 1: for my people. Man. Yeah, they want to associate themselves.

715
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: I guess, like I said, you know rappers like you

716
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: know where I came from. We all started from gang

717
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: banging or whatever. So but some of us sort of

718
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: mature outside of the gang banging and once we put

719
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: a foundation really with kids and a wife or whatever,

720
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: we tend to kind of stray away from that type

721
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: of lifestyle. But it seems like a lot of the

722
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: youngsters now in the hip hop or are you know,

723
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: putting a putting that fire back out there to where

724
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: it seemed to be, like it's it's uncontrollable now And

756
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: the arena of becoming an artist. I affiliated my set,

757
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: myself with a certain side, so I had to walk

758
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: that line until I went, you know, straight on it.

759
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,440

Speaker 1: belonging to the set whatever, and everything was about representing

770

794
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, just like that's some fire ship if that occurred,

795
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: and and I'm like, this fun publicizing that ship. This

796
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: is where we teach these little niggas. So you gotta

797
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: get the older wrappers of yesterday to get at these

798
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: little young cats. And and somebody gotta show him that

799
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: this ain't the way they're taking life for nothing. Back then,

800
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: I didn't give a about it. You know what I'm

801
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: saying now that I'm older, now that I'm aware of

802
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: the bullshit that I did. Come on, man, I would

803
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: say these little niggas because they're wrapping and they're making

804
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: a little money, but then they're getting out there just

805
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: with it. Well, you know what, I think people get

806
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: cut up because on TV it looks glamorous, you're the

807
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: power and everything, so you get cats like um like,

808
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: And I don't like throwing people's names out there, but

809
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm really was really disappointed when one of these artists, man,

810
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: I think he could have been the next Michael Jackson,

811
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. You know, he affiliated he affiliated itself with

812
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: a neighborhood he's a grown man. But I really thought

813
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: dude was gonna be the next Michael Jackson man. And

814
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: then you know, I hear that he's running with a

815
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: neighborhood now, and it was just kind of like for

816
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: what we just we just seemed like we're just going

817
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: backwards now as a society. It's just it's just people

818
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: want to belong scherty. Cats want to belong to a cook.

819
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: They want to attach themselves to certain things, and they

820
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: don't have to You're you're already rich exactly, you know

821
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But this, this is the cold part

822
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: about it. You passed twenty five. There's no room for

823
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: an old gang banger just joining someone coming to it.

824
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: Number two, if you're gonna be a game banker, put

831
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,959
Speaker 1: test that these dudes want to claim neighborhoods but ain't

00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: over a situation and nobody gonna benefit from this, just

914
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: like with these little cats right here and now, one

915
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: of these cats fn the benefit. And it wasn't until

916
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: I lost the life that was dear to me when

917
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: I seen the ship that I was doing to everybody

918
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: else and how the people felt you feel me, And

919
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: that's when it was like, what the fun? That was

920
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: the hurtful thing that I ever had to deal with

921
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: in my life. And then these little cats, these cats

922
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: ain't making it to twenty five, let's just say thirty.

923
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: They ain't making it thirty splattered on the motherfucking ground.

924
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: They ain't even live their life. Well that's what they

925
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: call us, o G because in the black community now,

926
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: it's almost like if you live to be forty years old,

927
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: you considered as old. Man. SI was the error I

928
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: came from back and the end ship. It was surprising

929
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: to get past. Yeah you're all right now you was

930
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 1: in prison, man, and man that was great. Man, It's

931
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: really man. We have to look at ourselves as a people, though, bro.

932
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: Because I saw some other day and I was just

933
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, checking it out, Right, I'm gonna store in

934
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: the hood, and I stopped in the liquor store to

935
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: get something to drink. Right, I see a dude that

936
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 1: that had to be sixty years old, man pants hanging

937
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: off his ass man T shirt on ragging, they're just

938
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: full flags. And he got a little baby in there,

939
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: like come on, a little baby, pop. I'm like this

941
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: a red band down on. He got his on. So

942
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm like look and I said, now right there, it's

943
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: a lack of leadership right there, that's supposed to be

944
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, your grandfather, that your wife. This stupidity, but listen,

945
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying, James. We got the grandfather

946
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: that's sixty years old that somehow got stuck at age eighteen, right,

947
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: and he on got older, but he hasn't developmentally past

948
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: age ten where he's a hood still doing the same ship.

949
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: Now he has a young influential life to where oh

950
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm through a red rag on my grandson. You know

951
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 1: he's from you feel what I'm saying. I call it

952
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: niggas who stuck in the system, were stuck in in

953
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 1: in time. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing, my suspected animation.

954
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of motherfuckers who went to the

955
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: pin and did twenty five thirty years who came home

956
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 1: they know nothing but the hood, and they know nothing

957
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: but the motherfucking neighborhood. Straight up, you give me motherfucker's

958

960
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: to and get out or after their long stretch, and

961
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: it's still like Nigga's in the hood. It's still a

962
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: few laughs. So Nigga associate with that still technology and

963
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,880

964
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: it was all about the hood and that's it. And

965
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: when I get out, I don't know no other way

966
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: to get me. So I call that homies who stuck

967
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: in the time of not being able to. Now you

00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: got somethiggs who go in, educate themselves, get a skill,

969
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: come out and just let me do something. But even

970
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: with him, he had to have a good ass chicky

971
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,920

00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: out of prison to day ain't got family. Most of

Speaker 1: and pops and grandma at the grandma going the whole

976
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: family break up. The family don't stay together no more.

977
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: With my mama gonna so when you come home you

978
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: have nothing. If you come home to nothing and you're

979
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: walk into the hood and you're stuck right there, you're

980
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: gonna see it motherfucker you was working with and you

981
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: go right back into what you learned the prison and

982
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: that GD know, that's it you got in there. Ain't

983
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna hip you out here right now. Like like James

984
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: and Ship. It ain't like I'm coming out to a

985
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: bag or my own ship business or whatever. I'm gonna

986
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: be back in the struggle every day after thirty years.

987
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: Who gonna hire me? And like I ain't. I ain't

988
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: really got no skill, you get me because I've just

989
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: been a nigga in the system, just banged out for

990
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:29,760
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years. So some niggas teach themselves.

991
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: Some niggas don't, so you know. And and then sometimes

992
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: niggas asked me, is our generation the problem with the

993
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: generation of today? Yeah? Yeah, I would say so, because

994
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: like I just said, I just get this example of

995
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: his brother sixty years o't know him right, all you

996
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: know is what you see now. I'll give you the

997
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: same example. If you had successful black businesses in these

998
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: neighborhoods r. You know the liquor store was owned by

999
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: a person that you actually know when you walk in,

1000
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: they walk in. See how you doing, mistake, what's up?

1001
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You own a liquor store.

1002
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: The person that you go drop your clothes off at

1003
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: the dry cleaners. He's a black man, I think, man,

1004
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: and not to sound like when the old corny dudes. Man,

1005
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 1: but we don't have that many positive images. Man, All

1006
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: of our images are negative. You follow what I'm saying.

1007
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: But is that what it's gonna take for us to

1008
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: get get out for our the mud? No, what we

1009
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: need to stop doing is blaming other people in other

1010
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: situations for our or what we were doing. Now this

1011
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: dude sixty years old. You don't tell me that dude

1012
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: don't get the picture that he shouldn't be walking with

1013
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: his grand baby. If you want to go out like that,

1014
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: then you walk by yourself, but you bring a child

1015
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: and for the bandanna on the kid, you gotta catch

1016
00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: today that to kill them both exactly you Actually he's

1017
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: youngster mothers. They got no rules to the game depending

1018
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: on what city and states you ship, and that would

1019
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: be his fault for that little boy getting killed over

1020
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: his stupidity, systematic funk up because he should be wanting

1021
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: something more kids to get me Like me as a

1022
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: young father, it was never my intent to, Okay, I

1023
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: got a son, now, it wasn't my intent to go,

1024
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my son in little five old ones

1025
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: in a white T shirt and put a blue bandanna

1026
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: around his neck and take a picture like. It was

1027
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: never that I had my son taking baby pictures with

1028
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: footballs and basketballs and ships like that. There were some

1029
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: dudes who grow up and then they transfer that ship

1030
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: to their kids. Yeah, I had a homie who you know,

1031
00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: wanted his kids to grow up in that aspect in

1032
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: the hood mentality. You know what I'm saying, I'm gonna

1033
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: let them fight kids after school, I'm gonna let them

1034
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: jump kids or get into whatever whatever. And then when

1035
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: they become achieveds and all that, I'm not gonna discipline that.

1036
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna basically applaud that. So then in turn, when

1037
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: they grow up and next thing you know, they're going

1038
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: to jail and going to prison. It's really not a

1039
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: shock for anyone. And that the people want, say kids

1040
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: to grow up in that and that's the process, and

1041
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: that's the problem right there. Man, And we sit up

1042
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: them blame like you said, everybody else. Oh the white man,

1043
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: the man didn't let me do this. You know, this

1044
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: white person, these white people. Man, we are our own

1045
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: words enemy at this point. Man, Like when I go somewhere,

1046
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm floating through Lawrence County somewhere. Man, they were up

1047
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: in Calibesta somewhere. I'm not worried. Man. I shouldn't be

1048
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: had to go around my own people be worried about. Man.

1049
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, now I gotta bring the strap over there

1050
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: because they may be tripping. You feel what I mean?

1051
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: This should be the total opposite, especially this the end

1052
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: time wind. But like it's almost like the hood is

1053
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: stuck in the time warp almost. Well, we learned to

1054
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 1: hate each other on just I don't know. Just like

1055
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: I said, I was the neighborhood code. I mean, I

1056
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: didn't know why I didn't like so and so or whom.

1057
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: It was just something that was taught to me when

1058
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: I started gang banging. You give me from fucking the

1059
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: time I could walk until the time I was fourteen, ship,

1060
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: all I knew was cartoon serial playing on the weekends.

1061
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: And ship. Now it just was out there banging and

1062
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: doing their thing. But once you start, you're taught of

1063
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: code of all you hate these motherfucker's you hate them

1064
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: and you hate them to see you were able to

1065
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: evolve past all that then because of the music, and

1066
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: you're getting the traveler see different places. And I think

1067
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: that's the biggest part of my exage. It's catch nothing

1068
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: on what's they've never left what's before. They've never been

1069
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: out to the I never, They've never they've never been

1070
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: the Orange Country. You're told the Fulton Where is that? Then?

1071
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Like Nigga's idea of a motherfucking vacase and it's going

1072
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: to Vegas for a couple of days on the weekend

1073
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: and ain't coming on back exactly. And that's why the

1074
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: hood is stagnated, because every day is a routine in

1075
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: the hood. It's the same ship. He was getting up,

1076
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: shutting doper weed. You're just going to hang out at

1077
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: the looking stove, walking to school, coming from school, hanging out, drinking,

1078
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: shooting dish. Is the same ship every day, every weekend.

1079
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: So niggas don't see nothing other than that. See what

1080
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: you consider yourself as an example because you can see

1081
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: you will traveled on. You're gonna been Australia before that

1082
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: successful two over there and everything. You know that. I said,

1083
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: if if, if James can get from where he was

1084
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: the where at now, anybody in the hood or any

1085
01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: hood can get there too. I got lucky because I

1086
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: met certain people along the way, you know what, such

1087
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: as himself, uh greg Um, even black you know what.

1088
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying that that helped further my my journey. But

1089
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: the hard work had to come from me. I didn't

1090
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: want to get rid of the rage. I didn't want

1091
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to get rid of the pain. I fought passing out,

1092
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: giving pain. I fought all of that ship and and

1093
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Every motherfucking day since two thousand and two,

1094
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: I keep a going on my hill every day since then,

1095
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm in the stow. Had I get out the shower,

1096
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: lotion up, put my pants on, I tightened up. If

1097
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I walked out the motherfucking dope, I had to have

1098
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: a piston. I couldn't. I couldn't. I couldn't let that

1099
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: part go. You say something, we got a problem. Now

1100
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: that I'm holdored, I ain't got no conversation. I'm gonna

1101
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: shoot you and and you just tell what you gotta

1102
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: tell it. We're gonna find a way out. But what

1103
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, you know, everybody in the hood, your

1104
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: mind grow as you grow. You see what's right, you

1105
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: see what's wrong. You see that this ship ain't good

1106
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: no more. I'm too old for this ship. I'm too

1107
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: old to be doing it. But then here you have catch.

1108
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I think I think that was you ain't when somebody

1109
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: said you move your your kids out the hood or so? Okay,

1110
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: am I supposed to? You should want you? Because the

1111
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: thing is, I'm from the Midwest. Always different Cleveland. It's

1112
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: a different level of property in Cleveland. You know, we

1113
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: slept with our jackets on. You might wake up and

1114
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: have to pick you know, roaches out the seious. Same

1115
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: thing going on here, but the difference is it's twenty

1116
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,959
Speaker 1: below zero outside, the window popped out. Ain't no heating

1117
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: the house because you know, so you got the oven

1118
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: on in the house, you know what I'm saying. Or

1119
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: are you sleeping with your jacket on? You know, you

1120
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: hear about it all the time that people dyeing the

1121
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: poison because they slip with the others and stuff on.

1122
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: So I made a voul of myself, man, because I

1123
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: was the tallest nigga and the biggest nigga they could run.

1124
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: I was always getting called the raise of other people's neighborhoods.

1125
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I was a big, fast dude, right, and I had

1126
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: a coach tell me, man, you know you can Actually

1127
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: he went and drove me up in the Cleveland Night's

1128
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Shaker Heights area and said, man, you play football good

1129
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: enough to where you can get a body and go

1130
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: to school. So that was that positive image to these

1131
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: kids on half. Right. It was somebody that came and

1132
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: got me that taught me something because I was kind

1133
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: of tearing at that time to where not only was

1134
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: out the fastest, biggest dude in my neighborhood, I was

1135
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: the one with the fastest hands too, you know, to works.

1136
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I was able to, you know, pumping two or three

1137
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: dudes at the same time. So but I had this

1138
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: coach that came and grabbed me, and next thing you know,

1139
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm on the other side of the country. You feel

1140
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So we had those opportunities, man, So

1141
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: I was very much shaved. Man. It's it's our fault, man.

1142
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: I think if we are in a position to change

1143
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: somebody's life. We should, And I don't mean you can

1144
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,040

Speaker 1: d and beat me and having that mentality, you have

1146
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: to learn the wrong along the way that some people

1147
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: are ready. You know, some people don't want to be

1148
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, influenced to be positive. Some people want to

1149
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: feel like life is the almighty fuck you and I

1150
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: don't give a funk and it's funk everything, you know,

Speaker 1: can't get ahead or whatever whatever. You know, A lot

1153
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: of that mentality has talked when you're brought up in

1154
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: certain situations. I mean, motherfucker, if you picking broaches out

Speaker 1: the you know, a lot of us had to learn

1161
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: that through the hardships of family passing or homies dying,

1162
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: or going to jail, or seeing something tragic too. Maybe

1163
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, it was always something tragic that would make

1164
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: you either turn that corner, you're gonna go good or

1165

Speaker 1: in the city. And I've got some ship just happened.

1167
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: And I will say this too. I had too hard

1168
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: working parents, like I had a stepdad. I knew who

1169
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: my real dad was, my step dad that's actually whose

1171
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: So his whole thing was, you don't lay your ass

1172
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: in a bed. I had disciplined the house too. I

1173
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: wasn't I wasn't allowed to sleep into you know, twelve

1174
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon, or you get your ass up

01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: earlier stuff that's still living me. James. You called me

1178
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: and catch me at six o'clock in the morning if

1179
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: you want to, you know what I mean. I mean,

1180
01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: I had to. I had influential parents. You know. My

1181
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: father worked for General Motors down in Southgate when General

1182
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: Motors was down near to Plan. My father worked there

1183
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: for until they closed that motherfucker and then he went

1184
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma. Uh, what's that. Uh yeah, it was. They

1185
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: was moving to people to three different sections. You had

1186
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: a choice to go to Oklahoma, thin Michigan, and somewhere else.

1187
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: And then Mom's was you know, she was a nurse.

1188
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: I had influential parents. You did me the first fucking

1189
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: ship parents. My parents try to send me the Catholic

1190
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: school and all that, but I chose to be influenced

1191
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: by the meggas from trag Newpark. But I chose that.

1192
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: Why who knows? And my mom's used to whoop me

1193
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: with switches and discipline me, and if I got called

1194
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: ditch in school, it was hell. But I still chose

1195
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: the fucking street lifestyle. You know what's funny about that? Though?

1196
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: You still want to reverting back to what she wanted

1197
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: you to be. Anyway, though, you went through that face,

1198
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: and I think all kids go through a rebellious face,

1199
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think that's just rebellion.

1200
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: And then you have to look at the area you win.

1201
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: It would have been different from me, same thing for me.

1202
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Let's say I would have been raised over in my

1203
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: territory and content right, it would be a whole different

1204
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: might be a whole different story. You see what I'm

1205
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: saying it may be a whole different story. We had property,

1206
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: but we didn't have a game problem. But we always

1207
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: had cast that was stabbing people. That dude dusers to school,

1208
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: you know. So it's the same thing in every end

1209
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: of sandbody for him, that different. Everybody gangs. But like

1210
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: I tell motherfucker's when I do when I go on tour,

1211
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I do interviews and people talk about the lifestyle. I said,

1212
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: just because we was banging crypt and blood, you have

1213
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: hard motherfucker's everywhere. Said that's the reason. That's another thing

1214
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: when you want to reverse it back to how you

1215
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: know these these youngsters or brothers going to other places

1216
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: getting killed. Like my man Doggy Diamonds said, how they

1217
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: looked at us on the West coast, You give me.

1218
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: I didn't look at niggas like that. If I went

1219
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: down to Texas and niggas had finger waves and gold teeth,

1220
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I didn't look at them niggas and gold these some

1221
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: funny motherfucker because it's going like one of these motherfucker's

1222
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: probably shoot the ship out your motherfucking And that's for

1223
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: real because the dude, like motherfucking man, it was like

1224
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: short around. I think it was a shagged back in

1225
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: the day, your head, this is the place. But my

1226
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: point is we didn't underestimate motherfucker's just because their culture

1227
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: was French stars. So my main thing was when I

1228
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: floated into a niggas town, whether they was cripping blood

1229
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: nor spos seed up, my nigga, hit this joint. My nigga, here,

1230
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: my nigga. Take these CDs are eight. You're a cool.

1231
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: Last motherfucking nigga. Come to the projects. Okay for Sean,

1232
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: we're pulling up nigga. Were in Shot Town going to

1233
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: the projects. We in Texas going to the neighborhood. Were

1234
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: in New York going to you know, we're riding the

1235
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: fucking subway because we know different than you niggas, so

1236
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: we're not underestimate nobody. That was my way of being

1237
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: able to float around the country and never being or

1238
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 1: eating them. Got into it with niggas in Atlanta eating them,

1239
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: shot niggas in New York or Cite or whatever you

1240
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: had to because I know this. New York always had

1241
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for you. And then Chicago to

1242
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: that part because you put that time in you you

1243
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: just gotta be you gotta respect niggas get down how

1244
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: they get it down. We gotta look at it like this.

1245
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: Our beefs is hood ship. Our beef eight from drag

1246
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 1: New We're from the other side of Compton, being bloods

1247
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: and being crips. We didn't know each other. Some of

1248
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 1: us didn't know each other. Some of them are you

1249
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: got uh brother chives, that's scripts relatives. There's blood. They

1250
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: funk with each other. But niggas had to look at

1251
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: it like this. I would have never got the known

1252
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: the person until our men it, you know what I'm saying,

1253
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: Like like you like sitting there like really fucking with

1254
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: eight and just thinking we'd crossed past. We'd have been

1255
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: shooting at each other, not even knowing really why we're

1256
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: shooting because of the color, you know what I'm saying,

1257
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: and and and half of these cats. And like I

1258
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: said earlier, man, and I'm gonna I'm gonna put myself

1259
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: in this because I'm far from a hypocrite. We've done ship.

1260
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: We make excuse is we make excuses for all the

1261
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: wrong reasons. If I have took my ass to school

1262
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: instead of want to be out there and much time

1263
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: fighting game banging, I would have been in class, trying

1264
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: to learn something out of out of eighteen out of

1265
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: finished school, and I couldn't. I couldn't wanted this motherfucking

1266
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: military is something, you know what I'm saying. So we

1267
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 1: have choices. My freend daddy was an ace mechanic. I

1268
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: learned how a kind of shipped from him, the carpentry

1269
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: and everything else. So I could have did something, but

1270
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do nothing. I'm a motherfucking game banking.

1271
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: I ain't doing that. Feel me and and and what

1272
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, these are the choices that I made,

1273
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Just like having these cats out there just doing They

1274
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: want to be in the hood because that's what we

1275
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: think we're taken and protecting the hood. But the hood

1276
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: ain't protecting ship and ain't giving ship. Don't give a

1277
01:11:55,640 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: video what the which God is? It's damn there too

1278
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: late before we figure it out. Then I gotta get

1279
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: out of the hood. I can't raise my kids in

1280
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: the hood. It's too dangerous, you know what I'm saying.

1281
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm refused to have my grandson or go back to

1282
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: comething to raise him there fun trying to show him

1283
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: where I come from. I'm gonna show you where we're going.

1284
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to none of that ship, you know

1285
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And wouldn't give a funk with nobody

1286
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 1: say you know what I'm saying. I know I'm doing

1287
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: the right thing. My pops, My pops, we wasn't ship.

1288
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: If he was here today or anything, he'd probably be

1289
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: dead because of me, you know what I'm saying. My

1290
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: father was a ruthless and snicker and many times, many

1291
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: times I thought, Man, I gotta kill his dude. For

1292
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: this dude to stop doing me like this. You feel me,

1293
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: and whatever his reasons was, my reasons is not to

1294
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: treat my kids like that motherfucker did me. And I

1295
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: don't treat my kids. I might have worn my kids

1296
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: maybe once or twice, but never with a stitchy cord.

1297
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: I never used my fish on my feet, you know

1298
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I disciplined him, my grand baby. It's

1299
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: hard not to do this. As I popped, that ass

1300
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: can't be here. Understand me. I would never be like that,

1301
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: And I just had to figure out, I can't use

1302
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: this dude as my reason for when I hurt people.

1303
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't the excuse. It just woke in. Yeah,

1304
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: we have to break that cycle. Man, That's what it

1305
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: deals because exactly I remember, man, you know, and I

1306
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: gotta give a shout out to my pops because he

1307
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: didn't come and do the right thing later room as

1308
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: he mature, I understand. Man. See, sometimes you gotta look

1309
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: at your pearers and say they got demons. They're fighting too. Right,

1310
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: he came from an up situation. So the thing was,

1311
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: I remember many a time, I'll be waiting for this

1312
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: dude to come right, and I had my little clothes

1313
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: and you know, the trash bag. You know, I'm ready

1314
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: to go. I'm ready to mob. I just know I'm

1315
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: going with my pops. As again, he's a cool dude.

1316
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: He got a van, he let me eat what I

1317
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 1: wanted to. You know what I'm saying here, cool nigga

1318
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 1: and this nigga just don't show up. So after all

1319
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: of them heartbreaks and stuff, you start building malice in

1320
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 1: your heart because that's how I wound up with the

1321
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: same last name is my Stepdaddy is my step They

1322
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: evidently noticed that he said I felt separated from my

1323
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 1: brothers because I was like, these niggas got their daddy

1324
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: in their mom in the house, and even though I

1325
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: didn't know it at the time, I was building resentment

1326
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: for that because I kind of felt like the outside nigga.

1327
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: So he was like, no, you're my son too. I

1328
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: feed you, I clothe you know, clothes. Ship you know

1329
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: you want your last name to be still to hell? Yeah,

1330
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 1: because you know the conversation I have not with my

01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: old man. Ain't no disrespect to you, Pops. I love

1332
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: you to death. But you know, he talked to me

1333
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 1: about changing my name back to Sanders, and I was

1334
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: just like, for fucking what, these are my kid's name

1335
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: now he wants you to change your name here? Yeah,

1336
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: And my thing was this, I forgive you, but that's

1337
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: the thing you have to live with now because I'm

1338
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: not gonna change my life around. And I might go

1339
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 1: shooting that man as a piece box, but I'm like,

1340
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 1: go shoot on him. Uh huh. You feel what I'm

1341
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,719
Speaker 1: saying because it's like you should have been there. There's

1342
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: no way one of my kids would have been born

1343
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: and not have my last name. That's just what that

1344
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: That wouldn't happen towards some ship up, you know what

1345
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: I mean? You a lot of that to happen, So

1346
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 1: that's the that's the thing you had to deal with

1347
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: right now. Well, yeah, I think a lot of us

1348
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: came from you know, Uh, the moms had to you know,

1349
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: struggle and hand to us for a while because a

1350
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: lot of our fathers were you know, in a place

1351
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 1: that wasn't you know, fatherly like whatever, you know, and

1352
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think all of us went through I

1353
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: went through sort of similar situations. You know, my pops

1354
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,640
Speaker 1: in the military, you know, came home. You know, you

1355
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: would think he was you know, my pops was a

1356
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: good dude. I mean, I didn't get beat or nothing like,

1357
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,519

1358
01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: my mom's You're getting so I had resentment to where

1359
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,880

1360
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: So once he took off and left, you know, and

1361
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 1: went out of state, you know, not that it was

1362
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: a better situation, but then it was kind of better

1363
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: because Mom's always held it down and tried to show

1364
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: us it was a different path. It was just not

1365
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: having an older figure in my life that made me

1366
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: gravitate to gang banging, you know, because my sister was

1367
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: fucking with the gang bangers or dating them or whatever.

1368
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: So me, as a young kid, no older brother, Pops

1369
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 1: not around. My influence was glistened by the streets and

1370
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: looking at the niggas on the corner serving, you know,

1371
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: and the hot bitches in school and ship that funk

1372
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 1: with the drug dealers or the niggas who was claiming

1373
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: sets and ships. So even though my pops was down

1374
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: the highway, he was living, you know, right up the

1375
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 1: street or whatever, and we sort of trying to have

1376
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: a relationship, but it didn't form because of my time.

1377
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 1: I started banging. It was like, man, please you get me.

1378
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: And I was only fourteen fifteen, but the mentality was, yeah,

1379
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,719
Speaker 1: I fear my mom's but when they came to my pops,

1380
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: I really didn't give a fuck. Shaid my father. That

1381
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: nigga said he had to go and he found that

1382
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: found I had four guns at the house. That motherucker said, oh,

1383
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: this motherfucker got guns. I had uh accidentally shout my

1384
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: little brother. At the time he found my pistols, it

1385
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: was playing Cowboys and Robbers across the street. But anyway,

1386
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: when the motherfucker's he came and said, oh, you got

1387
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: guns in my motherfucking house. And when I stepped back.

1388
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: He thought I had a pistol. This ain't scared of

1389
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: him no more. And then you can't touch me, no fact.

1390
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: So the nigger came and told my mom's I'm coming

1391
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: back home. No, you're not more. Oh no. So this

1392
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: dude got into with my mom's boyfriend at the time.

1393
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: My sister called him to check mom's boyfriend. He told

1394
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: her no on something. So Pop's come over there, what

1395
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: do up under the car and slice him? Sucking my

1396
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: kids and walked back. So as he walking past, the

1397
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: motherfucker called me a trader, a trader, fuck you, and

1398
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: I went to the backyard. He rest in peace. Now

1399
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 1: Earl had a rag over his face. So I take

1400
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: my fist to out of my hip and I did

1401
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: it to him. If he come back, kill him, take

1402
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: kill him. This is how bad it was with me

1403
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: and you. But as I got older, I just hated

1404
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: everything that dud did and I felt that that nobody

1405
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: on this plan and can treat me like this month did,

1406
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to dish out ship. And then

1407
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: the hack hall played a part of And it's how

1408
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: I used to get stupid with drinking. I couldn't stop

1409
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 1: drinking and I had so many demons I didn't Could

1410
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: nobody come and grab me and tell me ship? Could

1411
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: nobody tell me it was a better way, you know

1412
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Because that's the only way. It is.

1413
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: Either I get killed out in this motherfucker or I

1414
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 1: gonna kill myself, you know what I'm saying. So I

1415
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: really didn't give a funk. But knowing everything that I've

1416
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: been through and seeing what all of these cats is

1417
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: going through the day I don't walk that motherfucker walk,

1418
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,639
Speaker 1: and half of their motherfucking journey wasn't worsen than mind,

1419
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: So I know I can tell these cats what they're

1420
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 1: doing is, man, we are wasting our time fighting for

1421
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: something that we have no control of. If we had

1422
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: control of the ship, the police couldn't come in our

1423
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: neighborhood and do a motherfucking thing. The police can't come

1424
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,639
Speaker 1: in the hood and tell me to get on their card.

1425
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 1: How are you gonna tell me to do that, y'all

1426
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: in my ship? That's like anybody the motherfucker to your

1427
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: house and and you gotta ask this motherfuck can you

1428
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: get watered? No, they can't do that ship. So we

1429
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: don't own nothing. The only thing. I see what we're doing,

1430
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: and we've been doing it for a long time, and

1431
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: I put me in it because I was the same

1432
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: fucking stupid as motherfucker as I'm calling y'all, same stupid motherfucker.

1433
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: We got options, right, whether they don't have to be big.

1434
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: Half of us don't want to go and get that

1435
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: nine to five. We don't want to work at at

1436
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: Burger King, we don't want to work in the warehouse.

1437
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that for two weeks and quit. Now

1438
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 1: we're trying to be security guards. We know we're been

1439
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: a set of all motherfucker ain't looking at nobody else ship.

1440
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: So it's all up to us. We gotta fill be

1441
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: sleep like a motherucker what I'm saying. At the end

1442
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: of the day. We gotta be accountable for ourselves. And

1443
01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: if everybody wake up and see what our mistakes is

1444
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: and then just start winning ship like I did. I

1445
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: started writing my problems down and then I just tried

1446
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: to do with it. I couldn't do it, wrapped the

1447
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 1: paper up. Now I got to figure it out from

1448
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: from the head, you know what I'm saying, writing it

1449
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: down and then go back and then oh man, this

1450
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: ship is on. No fucking you just gotta I want

1451
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: to change. What I've always learned is growing up in

1452
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: that situation, seeing a young nigga banging and then turning

1453
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: into an artist like a lot of the dudes, or

1454
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: the day that's getting into a lot of you know, situations,

1455
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: and then not to downplay, you know, rest in peace,

1456
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: King Van and him MO three. Then uh, my boy,

1457
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 1: Bennie the butcher got shot. You know what I'm saying,

1458
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Uh praises go out to him, speedy recovery. Um they say, boots,

1459
01:21:54,880 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: he got shot. So my thing is images everything to

1460
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: young cats. You give me growing up in the hood

1461
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: and being a young cat in the neighborhood. Placing your

1462
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: mark is everything to a motherfucker you go and especially

1463
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: if you get into this field called hip hop or

1464
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: rap music, you get me. So now you're starting to

1465
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: get all this extra exposure and everything and the image

1466
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: of what you represent. You know, it's like that that

1467
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: syndrome of you know, a motherfucker getting an acting job

1468
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 1: and portraying an actor, and now you gotta live up

1469
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,759
Speaker 1: to what you don't set out. You know, what everybody

1470
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: didn't seeing as your image, you know, because I didn't

1471
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: got on YouTube or Instagram, and I don't told motherfucker's

01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: we're the hardest motherfucker's over here. But you always got

1474
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,600
Speaker 1: to know somebody gonna troll you, gonna try to, you know,

1475
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: text your motherfucking gang. So a lot of the imagery

01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: of who they's post used to be reflecting their music

1477
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,040

01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: That's what he's saying. But this because I'm I get

1510
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 1: some nigga's mentality might be like, you know, I want

1511
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: to figure out if a nigga might not you might not. Hey,

1512
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm Benny to butcher on eight, my nigga, all you know,

1513
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: it's like that, you know, and some niggas is like,

1514
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: give a funk who you are, give it up right now.

1515
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: And that's what I want to tell you up there

1516
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: in TV Land. If a motherfucker run up on you

1517
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: with a pisto, them give it up literacy, that motherfucker

1518
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: another motherfucking thing. Don't be a dumbass trying to be hard,

1519
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,879
Speaker 1: not saying that that was Benny. Don't be a dumbass

1520
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: trying to be hard because it's some motherfucker's out here

1521
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: that they ain't playing. They will blow your head off.

1522
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: They don't give a funk who you were. And and

1523
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: then another point, you might be cool with everybody, but

1524
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: it's a game motherfucker's that ain't cool with you. And

1525
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: that's the words to live by when you go everywhere

1526
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: or anywhere just because you're feeling you know, I feel

1527
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: that ship too sometimes. You know, I put that out

1528
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: out of context. I'm an artist, but I look at it.

1529
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna regular nigga. But to some niggas still out

1530
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: here in the streets, fuck that nigga. And it ain't

1531
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: because of nothing. It's just because that nigga. And that's

1532
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 1: the mentality. You gotta think when you're floating around places

1533
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: out of your element, you get me. So, like I said,

1534
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, the prayers go out to my nigga, Benny.

1535
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: You know he didn't get seriously hurt. But you don't

1536
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: know nigga's mentalities. When you come to their their neighborhoods,

1537
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: they spots, you get me. And it's just so he

1538
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 1: said he wasn't moving fast enough. Yeah, that's what they say, Beady,

1539
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: We wasn't moving fast enough. So or nigga because and so,

1540
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: and I just take that into account of motherfucker trying

1541
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,560
Speaker 1: to go. You know, I'm trying to reason with the

1542
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 1: motherfucker's First of all, there's five niggas on the car.

1543
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: They all got heated and pistols and so, you know,

1544
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: before niggas just get the dumping on everybody. Somebody trying

1545
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: to negotiate or or you know what I'm saying, downplay

1546
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the situation. Ain't my nigga. We you know, you know

1547
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 1: it's all good, my nigga, don't trip whatever. And to

1548
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,839
Speaker 1: a nigger who's standing in the middle of a thousand

1549
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: motherfucker's nigga, I don't need no explanations right now. Really,

1550
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: I need you to come up off of it fast

1551
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,719
Speaker 1: and then to the leave an example that I'm not playing.

1552
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let off a shot. Now, the next one

1553
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: might be somebody don't. But then by that time you

1554
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: don't let off the shots. So now all bets is

1555
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: off and it's a scramble. Yeah, it's a scramble for real, man.

1556
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: And you know, damn I was waiting for this, this

1557
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:47,879
Speaker 1: this question. H do you think that we need strictly

1558
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: lows that the loads are sucked up today? If we

1559
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: didn't have the laws we had, I think we'll be

1560
01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: worship than what we are. If if because people talking

1561
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 1: about all this sin and the motherfucker's giving them three lives, uh,

1562
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: three strikes and niggas and gil, if you didn't have

1563
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: three stakes, three strikes, the motherfucker can get out and

1564
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: do the same goddamn thing. Dude, you want people such

1565
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 1: as myself that can go out and go get in

1566
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: the car and go shoot people to continue to do it.

1567
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 1: After you give me five years, I'm gonna get out

1568
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: and do it again. And that get out, I'm gonna

1569
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: get out and I'm gonna do it again because I'm

1570
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: stuck in the hood. This is all I know. Next

1571
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: time it might be folk people. What I'm saying is

1572
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: everybody said the large too strict for us, right because James,

1573
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: when you're saying that, that reflects on us as black

1574
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: people and niggas and essays who go to the pen

1575
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:53,480
Speaker 1: because niggas don't feel like the white people the Caucasians

1576
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: get the same uh hardships that we get. You know,

1577
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:02,679
Speaker 1: mother white boy gonna shoot the motherfucking and then drop

1578
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: down a second degree or a motherfucking man slaughter and

1579
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:09,520
Speaker 1: ship nigga, go shoot the nigga in the gang bang situation.

1580
01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: Then you're looking at he got thirty years or he

1581
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,000
Speaker 1: ain't coming home. So a lot of us, as as

1582
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 1: as black people, look at the laws are designed to

1583
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: keep us fucked. That's that's that's how people approach that.

1584
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: Because I look at it like, motherfucker you you kill

1585
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 1: a motherfucker, you get caught in that situation, then you

1586
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 1: gotta do the time crime on the situation, you know.

1587
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: But they look at it like it's the situation he's

1588
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: a white guy or his wife cheated on him. He

1589
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 1: was angry, he fucking killed the dude. Fucking second degree

1590
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,360
Speaker 1: five and second for you. And that's the thing. It's

1591
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: always gonna be a difference when it comes to us,

1592
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 1: because you're doing that same token for every dude you

1593
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 1: got up there. That's a monster you got to do.

1594
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 1: That ain't done ship, that's getting picked up in the

1595
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 1: cues of some ship, and he's gonna go sit up

1596
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:07,160
Speaker 1: in that motherfucker all day. He hasn't had a proper trial.

1597
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 1: He was pretty much assumed to be guilty before he

1598
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: even went to trial. You know that as the motherfucker

1599
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 1: did it because he may have did whatever he did

1600
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 1: two years ago, five years ago, seven years ago, but

1601
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 1: he's trying to turn this ship around. Now. He's going

1602
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 1: to jail just for some the stakes he made in

1603
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 1: his past. Right, they're saying, all this picture Mo, your

1604
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: as did this year, right, I mean, they're gonna always

1605
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 1: tang you on your past history. And you and I

1606
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 1: think really man like, um, and I'm gonna get kind

1607
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 1: of deep right here, man, But I noticed, like ever

1608
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: since the women's lid movement, there's been this kind of

1609
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 1: damasculization of the other black male. Do you understand what

1610
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean? You remember when we looked at good times

1611
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,600
Speaker 1: when we were younger. You had Jane James Evans, you know,

1612
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the big strong motherfucker that I was. Didn't take no ship,

1613
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that he held the house

1614
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: down the middle of the Bringy Green projects, right to

1615
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: where you start seeing little ship like, um, like different strokes.

1616
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 1: You got the white dude on the doctor, the black dude,

1617
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: he don't got a wife. You can assume it's the

1618
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 1: drum was probably gay. Not nothing against gay people at all,

1619
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 1: but you could probably assume that, you know what I mean,

1620
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: You just start seeing different stuff to where you start

1621
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: seeing these motherfucker's wearing dresses holding a K forty sevens.

1622
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: You feel what I mean. We don't went to this

1623
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,240
Speaker 1: whole era to where the jeans don't got a little tighter. Now.

1624
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the fashion stuff, because you know

1625
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 1: I don't wear the big five day shirts no more either,

1626
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 1: But the thing is is you've almost said that, like

1627
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 1: because you hear all the black women say it. Now, well,

1628
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't need no motherfucker. You know Father's day come up,

1629
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 1: you see all the black women. Oh, this is my

1630
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:45,640
Speaker 1: day too, You know what I mean. It's just like

1631
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, so you slowly, like you slowly watch the

1632
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 1: black male, but come not shipping the house so to

1633
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:54,760
Speaker 1: where he don't run nothing. One of the majority of

1634
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 1: us choose not to be in the motherfucker and the

1635
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 1: majority go ahead. The majority of us want to run

Speaker 1: I was in the street. Nigger wanted to be in

1657
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 1: the streets. I'm doing me, man. When I was on

1658
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 1: the motorcycle set and my grandkids, I wasn't thinking about ship.

1659
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about no wife. I wasn't thinking about

1660
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 1: no girlfriends. I don't I'm thinking about it because I

1661
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 1: get some bussy log as I'm riding my motorcycle. Long

1662
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: as I'm doing me, I'm getting funked up every day

1663
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm riding, and I'm doing what I love because when

1664
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: the bike said, sometimes you gotta fight. Sometimes you gotta

1665
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: prove certain ship to seven motherfucking individuals. So I'm loving

1666
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: what I'm doing and I'm not paying attention to family,

1667
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 1: what's most important. And there right go again. It goes

1668
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: back to what I said earlier, that's black men. Somewhere

1669
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: along in line we get stuck in the time work

1670
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 1: like that where we get stuck just blaming other people

1671
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: for and and I think the DP, like you say,

1672
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: d master enough men, is because of what's accepted now.

1673
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: The motherfucker's you know, you couldn't turn on, like you said,

1674
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 1: in the era of good times or the motherfucking or

1675
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 1: or fucking was the Stanford and Son or whatever, you

1676
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 1: couldn't turn on the TV and see a commercial with

1677
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: two guys hugged up. Either you couldn't turn on the

1678
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:32,839
Speaker 1: TV and see a commercial where two girls are kissing

1679
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 1: or hugging each other. You couldn't turn on the TV

1680
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:39,639
Speaker 1: and see that that was forced upon us by the masses.

1681
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say forced because like again,

1682
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 1: I have nothing against gay people, and we want to

1683
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 1: put that disclaim around here. We have nothing to do

1684
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 1: with people's sexual orientation. You could do what you want to,

1685
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: but I think, just like this, just like I don't

1686
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 1: think a dude, I'm sorry, but just like I don't

1687
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 1: think a dude should be in public in front of

1688
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: everybody with his hands full, and his wife says, you

1689
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 1: know what, that's nothing everything everything for everybody. If you

1690
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: if that's what you're doing is time and Tom is married.

1691
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:08,679
Speaker 1: What you do behind your clothes doors is your motherfucking business. Yeah,

1692
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: but I ain't gonna lie I grab a girl ass

1693
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,720
Speaker 1: in public. I don't give a fuck that. I I

1694
01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:17,320
Speaker 1: was never looked at that, But I think that the

1695
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: demasculations ship came from what's accepted now by a lot

1696
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 1: of motherfuckers and then what's shown to our children. Yeah,

1697
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:31,759
Speaker 1: is that? Let me like, if I had the choice,

1698
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: you couldn't play no commercials in my household where my

1699
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: son is four years old and watching TV and watching

1700
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: two dudes sitting there kissing. You can see that. But

1701
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: bet see that. Now you're going into the whole gay

1702
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:47,960
Speaker 1: agenda thing. It's almost like for you to say you're

1703
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 1: a hetero sexual male, you almost get like, attach your prejudice.

1704
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 1: You're a racist? What I'm saying, I don't. I don't

1705
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: get that because, like I said, the way things transpire

1706
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,440
Speaker 1: fired from what I was a youth and was accepted nowadays.

1707
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 1: And then we did a lot of funked up ship.

1708
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: I could say that to us as as a young

1709
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: man not knowing you know, Let's see, we all did that.

1710
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 1: We all did our dirt. So the I think that

1711
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk or the man this or

1712
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 1: that that comes from women comes from that that struggle

1713
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,800
Speaker 1: of always having to deal with the fucked up men

1714
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 1: that we used to be a lot of us used

1715
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 1: to be fucked up when they came to that situation.

1716
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 1: So you have to be able to accept, like like

1717
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:42,719
Speaker 1: James say, your choices, We made a lot of fucked

1718
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 1: up choices, and it just empowered a lot of women

1719
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 1: to go funk that I don't need a man. If

1720
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 1: if if every nigg I get with gonna sucking cheat

1721
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,719
Speaker 1: on me or beat on me, then what the funk?

1722
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 1: Because you have generations and sisters. They didn't have a

1723
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: day in the house, but mom didn't have a you know,

1724
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 1: they had this. Now they got deal those that motherfucker's

1725
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: go by this long, so they really feel like, well,

1726
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't need no I'm empowered, you know. But what

1727
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, you're hurting fuck, But that's what I'm

1728
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 1: saying that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, No

1729
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 1: big dog, It's like they even made it. They convinced

1730
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: themselves when they head that. We're not importantly not called

1731
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: bullshit on that because I knew from my father not

1732
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: being the most perfect nigga. Man. When I have kids,

1733
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trying to be the best daddy I can be.

1734
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:41,680
Speaker 1: You always want to be better, you know. I want

1735
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 1: to be better than that. Unless unless he was a

1736
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 1: positive influence, a lot of us stated, I'll be better

1737
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 1: than that. Man. Fuck, I ain't gonna let my kids

1738
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:55,280
Speaker 1: go without or or beat on my kids, or or

1739
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, not pick up my kids or take them

1740
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 1: or be involved or I think we all learned from

1741
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,760
Speaker 1: not having that now how to be a little better

1742
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 1: than what we had. I'm gonna take up for us,

1743
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 1: black man. My age. I was born in the sixties

1744
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 1: and seventy and the eighties. When I had my son,

1745
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 1: all kind of ship was handing out there. I was

1746
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,680
Speaker 1: still a game banker. I went to prison and and

1747
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:28,759
Speaker 1: I'm still doing everything. I'm not focusing on my child.

1748
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 1: Go to prison. Daddy ain't there. Daddy wouldn't live him

1749
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,320
Speaker 1: with the baby mama anyway. So a lot of us

1750
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: got baby mamas and they never lived with him, you

1751
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So daddy is always the black

1752
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: ben forged. Our father is getting out there when the

1753
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: cocaine came and my pops went out there, and he

1754
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 1: trying to say with sean man cocaine. She didn't work

1755
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: for everybody. Everybody ain't gonna get rich at the end

1756
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 1: of the day. Either just kept selling in the major

1757
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: or you turned out to be your best motherfucking byron

1758
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 1: and you know that did that ain't working. How our

1759
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 1: daddy's still walking or sitting at the looking store right

1760
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:15,599
Speaker 1: now today from the effects. So it is the black

1761
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 1: man of yesterday that kind of like sucked it off

1762
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: us that sucked it off and didn't go or try

1763
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: to show something different. You know what I'm saying. Now,

1764
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,719
Speaker 1: this generation right here just don't give a funk which

1765
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: way they go or how they do it. Now you

1766
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 1: see more females with females. You're seeing more men understanding

1767
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 1: other men and they and it's not in the closet

1768
01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 1: no more. So this is what society is giving all

1769
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: of us, is showing you what is made of And

1770
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: this is. Everybody is just saying this is me, you

1771
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: feel me, and and here I am trying to make

1772
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 1: it better. Here, aches in here making it better. Here

1773
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:01,080
Speaker 1: you are. But Calviny Wayne then Donald can't do it

1774
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:05,599
Speaker 1: because they're on some fun that ship. Everybody ain't gonna

1775
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:09,600
Speaker 1: get it here. That's why the majority of motherfucker's are

1776
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 1: still stuck in the motherfucking hood. But we we we

1777
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: put too much on ourselves, you know what I'm saying.

1778
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:20,720
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of ship we are to

1779
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:23,600
Speaker 1: blame for it, but we ain't to blame that the

1780
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: world is fucked up. No, No, not at all, Not

1781
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: at all. And that's what I'm saying. Man. I think

1782
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 1: as long as you have everybody's not sucked up. As

1783
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:37,719
Speaker 1: long as you have brother's life, you are there giving

1784
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 1: your time to youth football exactly. Do you have a

1785
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 1: killer team? No? I have the homies kids. I started

1786
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 1: coaching twelve years ago when my son was five years old.

1787
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. So I made it a

1788
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: point to give him choices other than what I was

1789
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 1: faced with. When I grew up in Compton. Did they

1790
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: have sports? Yeah, but I had a single mama at home,

1791
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 1: who had to work eleven at night to seven in

1792
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,759
Speaker 1: the morning. So you can just picture me at fifteen

1793
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: years old, with nobody at home. From eleven at night

1794
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 1: to seven in the morning, I ran the streets. I

1795
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: wasn't influenced by nothing else but the streets. But I

1796
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: didn't have choices. My mom couldn't take me to football.

1797
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 1: My father was living in Oklahoma. I didn't have a

1798
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: big brother or uncle or nothing like that around, just

1799
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 1: me and my sister. So I was influenced by the streets.

1800
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 1: I wanted to give my son, even though I moved

1801
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:41,080
Speaker 1: out of Compton, I wanted to give him some I

1802
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:43,320
Speaker 1: wanted to give him another choice to just being a

1803
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,759
Speaker 1: kid sitting at fucking home playing video games or watching

1804
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 1: YouTube or whatever. So I started coaching football, and in

1805
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:54,799
Speaker 1: that so a lot of single moms out there. Fiveers

1806
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: ain't in the home. And you see that coaching football

1807
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: because I had a trip full of kids. We can't

1808
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 1: come over these and spend a night. You know, you

1809
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: got something and shout out to the single arms out there.

1810
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:08,920
Speaker 1: Because I had some moms. You know, Dad's never showed up,

1811
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:12,640
Speaker 1: never showed up to games, whatever, But they drove to

1812
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: every practice, draw every games, you know. So but I

1813
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 1: saw that, and that was a way for me to

1814
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 1: influence young dudes who didn't have dad's in the house.

1815
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 1: Because here I am with my son here on the

1816
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: team and he gets to run up to knee at

1817
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 1: the end of practice, Hey Dad, Hey Dad, and all

1818
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 1: during practice, Hey dad, Hey dad. And you see how

1819
01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: that impacts a lot of the youth. So I would

1820
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 1: always you know, I had five or six kids spen

1821
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: in the night at my house, you know, taking them places,

1822
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: because that was my way of trying to give back

1823
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:56,760
Speaker 1: to what I didn't get you yet, because I didn't

1824
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,560
Speaker 1: have nobody come around and pick me up or influence

Speaker 1: me to hey, you're smart kid. You know you can

1826
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:04,840

Speaker 1: say focus, take your take your mind somewhere else. And

1869
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 1: instead of being a game member, educate your mind and

01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: from school, from graduating to any kind of service or

1871
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 1: getting a job. You're better off and you'll be more productive,

1874
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 1: to start paying attention and then put a value on

1875
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: your life. You know what I'm saying because when we

1876
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,640
Speaker 1: grew up, we didn't we didn't value that. We just

1877
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: did stupid ship and went out and did it. It

1878
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: didn't it was no consequences. We didn't think like that.

1879
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 1: I just say, man, just y'all got a chance, and

1880
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,760
Speaker 1: don't wait till you forty five fifty to say, if

1881
01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: I know what I know now, I would have did

1882
01:46:25,200 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 1: it that way. Now, don't be like me. And that's

1883
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: it right there. I don't want to say um to

1884
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:41,599
Speaker 1: the to the young dudes coming from the side where

1885
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:47,680
Speaker 1: I come from, because I was you young nine year

1886
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:53,360
Speaker 1: old dude wrap success. You know, a couple of you

1887
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,880
Speaker 1: know records. Um, I think I was probably on my

1888
01:46:57,040 --> 01:47:00,400
Speaker 1: third album, music to drive by, you know, just had

1889
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: to part in Menace to Society whatever. Um, So I

1890
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 1: was one of you, um wanting to still be long

1891
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 1: and show my affiliation to the neighborhood. Um, I wanted

1892
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 1: to this nigger's on record, Uh, you know, because of

1893
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:23,759
Speaker 1: the situation and everybody know the be five, you know whatever,

1894
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 1: long Over now you know, Quick is one of my

1895
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:33,479
Speaker 1: my best homies, you know whatever. But U you feel

1896
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 1: like the neighborhood is everything, And I get it because

1897
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 1: I was the same way even with rapping in three

1898
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 1: albums in the movie Under My Belt, Everything to Meet

1899
01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:48,599
Speaker 1: was still trying new part. I can give a fun

1900
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 1: but you feel like your authenticity or your affiliation is

1901
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: weaker if you don't follow the code of the neighborhood.

1902
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:12,640
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, it's cool, it's it's it's cool to not

1903
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:18,080
Speaker 1: be the killer fucking I'm a ship, start beef with

1904
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 1: every motherfucker to show that I'm a hard motherfucker. And

1905
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:25,600
Speaker 1: I get it. Your affiliation is you came from the

1906
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 1: neighborhood you want to represent, so I get it. For

1907
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:30,800
Speaker 1: the people, you know, King Van rest in peace to

1908
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:33,679
Speaker 1: her little homies in Shottown. You nigga is probably ready

1909
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 1: to go to war because of the situation, and you

1910
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:41,600
Speaker 1: got to feel like vengeance for my nigga. Van is

1911
01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:45,599
Speaker 1: the all time high. Okay, just like any nigga who

1912
01:48:45,680 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 1: gets through. I'm sure my nigga's down in Dallas with

1913
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 1: more three are ready to represent because my nigga get killed.

1914
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: But sometimes for you, you know, your young cats, that's

1915
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: grabbing the mic. And like I said again, not to

1916
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,759
Speaker 1: downplay it because I was one of you niggas banging

1917
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:08,479
Speaker 1: on the mic. Fuck everybody, Fuck this nigga, whatever it's

1918
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 1: about us. But the longevity you get in peacing with

1919
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:18,600
Speaker 1: the nigga is better in the long run to not

1920
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: have beef with nigga and to be able to enjoy

1921
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 1: life and to wake up, walk out your door, don't

1922
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 1: have to worry about the nigga pulling around the corner

1923
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 1: dumping on you. You know, to be able to take

1924
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 1: your kid to the store and now feel like looking

1925
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: over your shoulder. You know, that's what you want to

1926
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 1: achieve with your rap career coming out the hood. So

1927
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 1: think about that. You know, when you're coming into this

1928
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,439
Speaker 1: rap game and you're beefing and you're banging, and you

1929
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 1: want to go fuck this nigga and fuck their crew,

1930
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: and fuck this nigga and fuck their crew. Long run,

1931
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 1: when you do that, somebody go end up popped and

1932
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up dead, and then you're gonna end

1933
01:49:57,160 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: up regretting it. Then you're gonna feel hurt. And then

1934
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 1: if you you are able to make it down the

1935
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: road where we are today, you look at that ship

1936
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:09,400

1938
01:50:12,120 --> 01:50:16,559

1939
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 1: that I ain't cool with smoking the blood and shaking

01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 1: his motherfucking hand, and I don't God damn man, we

1941
01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:24,920

1942
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:29,599
Speaker 1: killed each other over some you know, or we're harder

1943
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:31,400
Speaker 1: than y'all over And I get it. A lot of

1944
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:35,560
Speaker 1: niggas have died before you became the rapper of representing

1945
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. But you gotta look to the future, my nigga.

1946
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 1: You get me, So look to the future. Nobody saying
