<v Speaker 1>I got so many on so many different levels. Man,

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like when MC like, we're answering their

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>ass out with temper cent disc up. You know what

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.880

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, because it's like that's where you

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>get the whole ship goddamn hole. He we go again.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>You know a bunch of motherfucker's. Whenever you get people

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>quoting your dishes, Dog, it's like even niggers don't quote

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>that goddamn hole. Here we go again. And that was

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the first time I really heard somebody cussing on the

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.679
<v Speaker 1>record like that, like damn, Like, oh, you know what

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean? But I would have to say, man, possibly

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest dish tracks of all time. It's

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>ice Cube no Vaseline Dog. It's my favorite record of

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>all time because it was just so it was just

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>so personal dog like, you know. It's like because Cube

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>was being cool, he had this amicable split to where

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't saying nothing, and they kind of went in

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>on him a little bit, you know, with a skit.

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like it was the equivalent of me hitting somebody

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>with a spit ball and then turning around with an

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>a K forty seven and just opened the my chest up.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Damn damn, because that's what it was. They came with

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a skill we gonna cook your curl off of fuck

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.679
<v Speaker 1>you ice Cube and this and that little skit that

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>sounded good. Who he came back with, God damn, I'm glad,

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>y'all set it off, which is kind of a little

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>old m C light this. God damn hoh, here we

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>go again. God damn. Mom legs, y'all set it off.

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Used to be hard. Now you just wouldn't. So first

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.519
<v Speaker 1>she was done with the a K. Now I see

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you on a video. I seen that video. I've seen

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that video for the first time. The other day was

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Easy and it was a mission lay South. I think

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>it was Nicety and or something. Niggas was dressed like

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Easy was dressed like an angel. Or something, and Dre

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>had on this weird suit and I was like, damn,

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I never seen this video. But then it made no

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Vasiline make so much more sense. I was like, Oh,

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I get what he meant now, I see you on

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the video with Mission La, no Sailing, no ceilings, g L.

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>My man Peter running a little late. He was watching

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>some clothes. I thought he was hanging out with a horror.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I brought my man Tony Nario, one of my partners,

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you feel Me Rhyme, a real hip hop historian um

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>hip hop in his title you Feel Me So, and

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the cord is my big bro, my manager and resident

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and the reason I actually podcast for real big stealers here.

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's dope to have y'all here to talk about

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>this conversation because between both of your knowledge of hip hop,

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>with neither one of you guys being from New York,

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought, that's dope what you're saying. I thought it's

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>dope that neither one of y'all are from New York.

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>But with y'all two together, I have a ton of like,

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I can access a ton of things about hip hop

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>because of how deep y'all go back into the culture.

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>And y'all love it, especially in New York. Y'all have

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>a very serious preference of New York hip hop or

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>hip hop or New York sympathizers very much. So you

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 1>agree with, yeah, a little something something, Man, I'm just

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like good records. Dog, I don't really know if I'm

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>a New York simple thighs are so to speak, because

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>they haven't been making. You know, they got some cool

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>records now, dogs, I ain't this in New York. I

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to said. You didn't want to tell the truth.

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>You just you know, they're not really making. They're not

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>really they're not really bringing no heat like that right now. Dog, Okay,

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. It's not wrong with that. We gotta put

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>they got some cats, you know. It's the usual suspects.

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>They're making the right records, like Nas is doing his

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>thing now. Um and he had a debate about that

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the other day. He don't agree that Nas has has

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>dropped three classic projects back to back, just silly. He

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>has two weird saying that about Nas, especially these three

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>because his boy is my young nigga man. So to

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>have to debate with you that they are not classics,

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it's obvious they're not classics. Is the NAS is the

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>um is the comeback artist of the year, though, Dog

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>for him to reinvent himself the way he did Dog,

0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't. He's going into his twentieth year. Dog,

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>he didn't reinvent himself. He didn't himself. He working with

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>younger artists. Now, huh, what is he now? He did

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 1>he reinvented himself. Let production, Dog and everything. Let me

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>ask you trying to say hit boy is a better

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>producer than the guys he was working with. That's what

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you want to do, That's what you want with this

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>his first Grammy. Yeah, but the Gramm is a small

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>bunch of people saying they like your music. That ain't

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>what the public saying. And that's cool though, because I'm

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>trying to get them small amount of people to say

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Glass I'm not. I'm just saying I agree that he's

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>took him in a different direction that he hasn't been in.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But I wouldn't say that these are three classics, and

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say he reinvented himself. But since we're talking

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>about nas right, this will be the first time I

0:06:55.320 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>ever admitted this publicly. Nas be jay z in that

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>battle all of us. Never, I wouldn't ever ever, I

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>would never answer the question. Initially for me, I would

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>never answer the question where people say who like nobody cared?

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Who want the battle? Who won the war? That was

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>always my response when people would talk about the battle

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>between j and Nas. I'm like, man, who won the war?

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>You feel me? That was my respond when somebody said

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you want the battle. But for the first time in

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>my life, I'll admit Nas won the battle, and I'll

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>admit Ether is a top five all time greatest dish record.

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>It might be number two. It's between hit him Up

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and that one. M oh hit him up with some ship,

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what? You know what? I loved hit him

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Up as a record dog. What I didn't like about

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>it was that it was so personal, but either was

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>personally when you know what Ether had to be personal

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you think about it, ja, not the niggas baby Mama

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>down that that didn't come out till after that was

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>after well, he said in the takeover, because you know who,

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>did you know what to you know who to keep

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>that between me and you? But he didn't, Yeah, but

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it was implied he didn't say it. I think we

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>were on the West, so we didn't know, but I

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>think it was a common kind of gossip point in

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>New York that he had knocked down Carmen So when

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>he said that don't take up takeover as a nasty

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>as dish record over. Actually, if they had a different timeline,

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>those records came out of different sequences, Like Jake got

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>two emotional on on Super it was just two emotional.

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>It was like it was like it was it was

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 1>whack dog And it was so uncharacteristic of jacause j

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>is always the cool nigger. I guess picture and Papa

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>some penis just sitting back right in his bar, like, yeah,

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to serve this nigging. I'm gonna tell you

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>who else to funk niggers over and he's probably gonna

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>go down. It's one of the greatest dis nigger makers

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of all time. Is push your teeth man, that push

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>your to the drake. That ship was like, and that's

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you why pushing T is. So I'm

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you why and push your t almost got

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>my favorite disc record of all time. I'm not mad

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>at he almost got it, because not only did he

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>put off quality disc records. They was against the top

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:29.079
<v Speaker 1>flight opponents, like he only against he only yeah when

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 1>he went at Wayne, that's when that's mixtape wheezy. You

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>see what I'm saying. He served Wayne? Um, I was glad.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>You know I wouldn't say served Wayne. Wayne definitely didn't

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>push the battle dog contract or funk up against That

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>means you all fucked up. You signed a one, niggative

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>signed to another, niggat signed a three. But again, those

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>those weren't dish records. Those was bars within regular joints.

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong here. That story of of yeah,

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever how you pronounced that Addie down or however you

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>pronounced it, that ship was like, what's crazy? Is like that?

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 1>That dis record was so fucking dope. I remember listening

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just being like, damn, this nigger sounds like a nigg

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>out the nineties. But speaking of that nigger he was battling.

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Feel me, Drake back to back should be in the

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>top ten disc records of all time. Drake understood Dog,

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I think Drake really understood and Drake and Rap Dog,

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm Drake and rap his as I and

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I get a lot of slack. I think people think

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>of me like I hate drinking. It's like, bro, if

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>you met Drake, I met him. He's a cool guy

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>like I have. He's one of those guys you're happy

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.599
<v Speaker 1>for when they win. But I've always been honest and

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>understand that he's not hip hop. He's not a part

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of the culture. And I'm not saying the part of music.

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>He's not a part of what hip hop is, and

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be he's one. You don't think

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>he's the embodiment of embodiment of hip hop. I'm sure

0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>he would disagree, because everybody wants you he said who.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a cat that loved and respects the

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>art form. No, I think on I think he's a

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>super fan of it. I think he has an entitlement

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to be around it and he does study it. It's

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of love for Drake Drake has for hip hop. Man,

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that. That's not the point I'm saying

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>with hip hop embodies, he doesn't embody and that's fine.

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to what I'm saying. It's the confusion

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that you have to that Nigga is one of the

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>greatest rappers ever. It's a fantastic manage stream rapper, but

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>again back to Back. It's one of those joints that's

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a top ten Dish record. I'm saying. When you hear

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>back to Back, and I listened to it the other day,

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I was actually trying to funk with the hats from

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 1>from it for it on another record I had, and

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just really really good. Yeah, I feel really uncomfortable

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>for Meet Meal. When Drake came up with it, I said,

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>damn me, what's funny is I found myself because I

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>felt like Meet kind of opped out on some weird

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>ship like tom a niggas retweeting albums. I kind of

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>look like he was reaching dog. I think nothing. You

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>know what? Meek though, he thought that Drake was the soft,

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 1>light skinned white boy in high school and he thought

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>he was gonnaight. So I found myself kind of rooting

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>for him, Drake to stand up for itself and man,

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>when he dropped back the back, I remember just being enamorous.

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>So which brings me to my next question, where did

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it go from battling? Like right? So? To me, the

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>greatest Dish record of the eighties is people say Roxane,

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>but I think Revenge It Rod. But I think the

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>greatest dish record of all time at that time period

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, of all time in the eighties is

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the bridge is over? Mmm. I would probably give you

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that dog because at that time you gotta remember cares

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>One was coming from a position of being a he wasn't.

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't his popping as to choose true Juice Crew

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>was popping at that time. Of course, it's almost the

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>equivalent that something Niked coming out of nowhere and just

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>this and TV and then and then having to say, like, really,

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, it really happening to where

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 1>he liked talking about he running through the Nickerson Guardens,

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>he coming to company and doing this and he really

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>smashed n from Gardina or something, you know what I'm saying.

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>So the question I'm asking not from Guardina. The Bronx

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is not Guardina. That's no. My Nigga is gonna pack

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you out over there. Uh And Gardena ain't no pump,

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 1>but they ain't the Bronx. It's just different. But I

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 1>would say the Bronx is probably more watts than anything

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>else Bronxes some ship. But so no, the question I

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>was asking is when did it go from simple battling

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>like that time with them dudes could battle and hash

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>out they they you know, who wants to be better

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>on records into where it's that now where this records

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>are getting people killed, like with with with you know

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>what possibly happened with young Dolf where dis records for

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>sure got him shot up a couple of times, for

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>sure got him shot up a couple of times those

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.560
<v Speaker 1>same ditch records. And they were saying the same ship

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>about each other, Like it wasn't like Chris, you know

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>caress one was and Attis was like, hey, you know

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I rap better than you guys, I'm just better. He

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>was talking shit. He was talking about how how you

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>look niggas swag, nigga's bummy, talking about the whole town

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 1>like he literally talks Yeah, Like he went also, how

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't at that time because he was saying the same

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>fucked up ship. How at that time was it just

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>battling versus today where it's like literally like this ship

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 1>is a real implication of like niggas is tripping over it. Well,

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's gotten worse, but I think

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>it was always that, Like didn't Cube and Lynch Rob

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>have like issues with Easy Ease Crew, and like there

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>was fights and stuff that broke out. It didn't it

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't get you know, that far, because I don't think that,

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like it's kind of weird, man. I think again, I

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 1>hate to always connect it to this, but social media

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>has really created this extra level of bravado and embarrassment

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and like where you can't like someone can't say nothing

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>because like you, you know, you could be tuned in

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>live and some you know, you might have fifty just

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty followers or people fifty people viewing, but to you,

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>that's the whole world. If somebody this is you, So

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>now you feel like you gotta you know, uh, protect

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>your manhood. And and that's and these dudes are young,

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 1>so they're young dealing with this um a lot of them.

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>But like in the young Dolf case, like I mean,

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 1>he's an older guy, right, he was about thirty something,

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty six, thirty seven, So you know, at that point,

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I think, now you start dealing with cruise and the

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>young cats that run with the older dudes and and

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>O g s not really doing stuff to prove the right,

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and then older guys you know, not

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>acting accordingly bro, Like, I think we run into that

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Probably all three of us still glasses me.

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, we yeah, we're we're older, but we still

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>relatively look young. We we we've taken care of ourselves.

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 1>We're not big, you know, we don't wear ourselves out.

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes you you know, certain cats, they come to

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you and you try to give them grown advice even

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>though we might look young. Up here is where it's at,

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>so we're giving actual knowledge and understanding. Like, yo, Bro,

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't do that because this that in the third

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>whereas uh, it's a lot of dudes that are older.

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Now I won't name any names, but you know, some

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>cats that I look at already in their late forties,

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>early fifties, and they still out there kind of acting

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>like young dudes. So if they're not giving guidance to

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>these young boys, like my favorite story was when they said,

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 1>uh Nori said that you know, they was gonna go

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>at uh pock with the disks. I'm sorry, not pock

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 1>uh DPG with the l A L A record And

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Big told him, and Big was still young at the time,

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>but was their big homie. He was still older than them,

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, nah, man, don't respond to that,

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>like that's what you should be doing, right, but not

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.199
<v Speaker 1>saying that what you say that they're gonna follow, but

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>just saying that at least try try to implement something

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to where they it detours them from doing that kind

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>of bullshit because they real trigger happy now and and

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not people say put the gun down and fight. Man.

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Now they take an ass whooping and they still you

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 1>whip their ass, They're gonna come back and shoot you.

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what, I never thought about that. He made

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a good point. Kill get end up getting into it ruthless,

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they end up fighting where at Jack the rapper, right, Yeah,

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but you know, in those situations, g there was never

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the remote possibility of somebody getting killed. I don't think.

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't think they believe. I believe that

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.680
<v Speaker 1>just me talking to different casts like Bob around there.

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 1>It was some scraps because you gotta remember with them

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it was too because it just wasn't a rap record.

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Because I heard actually nigga sat around to laugh about

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that ship. I heard when they heard it was like, damn,

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 1>that ship is hard, you know what I mean. I'm cool.

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I know them niggas. First off, my man, Pete has jumped,

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Pete has entered and checked. Yeah, you know, let's let's

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>keep laying on this g because at that time, man,

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 1>you gotta remember, right, Bob was doing a lot of

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>production for Ques. But at that time, you know, at

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that time when he went solo and Stuffy and he

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and he still knew Ran and them because you know,

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he was the in the house producer for Ruthless at

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.679
<v Speaker 1>that time, you know, he kind of took that stuff

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>over and it was some laughs and jokes about that.

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You gotta remember, his beef wasn't really n W eight.

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.439
<v Speaker 1>That was more side crew stuff. Q wouldn't fight nobody.

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Lynch Mob was scrapping. But but I'm saying then that

0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>means if you can fight, that means it's possible somebody

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>can shoot. I'm gonna tell you the thing that Tony

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>said about social media and just the youth of today,

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and this ain't. I ain't gonna turn this into no

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 1>thing like the day's kids all bad because a lot

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 1>of ways, and because in a lot of ways, the

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 1>youth for this era are more mature than the so

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:20.959
<v Speaker 1>called Oh jeez, look at the madness that's going on

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 1>online all these dudes over for the you know. But

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the thing, you know, keep keeping this about hip hop, dog,

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I just think right now, the lightest on you so much.

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>See back then, you can get beat up and nobody

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>would ever see the fight. They would just hear about it.

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>You feel what I'm saying. It was the same thing

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>with music. People were just kind of here and they

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to see who all went through stuff. It's like,

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 1>now you did somebody you go see a video to

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>come along with it. They go climb and they may

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 1>be going through your neighborhood. So if you've come to

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of like just an extra you brisk

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and extra arrogance, dude, where when you're pride of your

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:01.159
<v Speaker 1>egoist bruised, it's almost like equipment that somebody getting their

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>grass whoop in front of their girl because their girlfriend

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.199
<v Speaker 1>got to hear this record. They're like, damn, he fu

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.120
<v Speaker 1>my dude up. You know what I mean. It's like

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.840
<v Speaker 1>some ships you just came to, not m hm. And

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I think people can't handle it, bro. Sometimes people can't

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 1>handle get hit in my front of their girl. Well.

0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I think what's crazy too, is that even East Coast

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>hip hop now it's gotten violent where there's used to

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>be more on wax. I don't know if you guys

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>agree or not, but I felt like it was more

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 1>understood that or expected for a West Coast beef to

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>actually happen where someone might get shot or beat up

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. You know what I mean. And

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>it's all about I'm gonna tell you social media and

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the Internet plays a huge part of it because now

0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what it is, you just don't have the respect of

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the perspective crews going back and forth. You have these

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>people online that don't have a life, and people look

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.199
<v Speaker 1>at the comments. Dude, If you look at the comments,

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.679
<v Speaker 1>people take sides. They become a part of movements. So

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 1>when you to do this, you know that that possibly

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:13.959
<v Speaker 1>took the bad one and one of these battles. You know,

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't help you get looking at the comments and

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. You're like, because it seems so much

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>bigger than what it is in reality, nobody gives a funk,

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. I never what's funny is

0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I never thought to myself like um as like with

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the dish records, people dishing each other. I don't think

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I tris made a good point. Maybe it's never been

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>like that. Maybe that's all in our head that it

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.120
<v Speaker 1>was a space too to put out a record disrespecting

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:48.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody else and then not actually become real world consequences.

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you what what the traders are saying

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it rings so true. And you know, when did we

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.159
<v Speaker 1>start a podcast? It was a while ago, right, it

0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>was way before things or something. Yeah, so you figured

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>when we started to do there weren't as many people

0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 1>from the hip hop community involved in podcasting. And I

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be hypocriticals because because we are members

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 1>of the hip hop community that got started early on

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>in the technology. You're right, But since hip hop has

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.719
<v Speaker 1>got involved in podcast and I'm gonna tell you, they

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.880
<v Speaker 1>brought a certain level of bullshit to it too. So

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's I think it's just a confrontational art

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>form anyway, bro, And especially today, you know what I'm saying,

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Everything is highlighted, everything is right there in front of

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>you kind of roll and you can't escape it because

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you would be sitting down watching the movie on your

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 1>phone and a notification to pop up with somebody talking

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.719
<v Speaker 1>ship from Australia to you. But again it's it's not

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 1>even that's true. It does feel like it's a bigger

0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>world problem, but it's still very minimal, very minimal. But

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 1>what's funny is it ain't exclusive to just hip hop.

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>What I'm saying, Jamaine Jackson, this is brother. You fear me.

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson. You got a disrecord card word to the bag?

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>You ever heard that peak? Yeah, huh, you can't do that.

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Just you just pick size. That's one thing I never did.

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I never picked size. I don't pick size. Maybe the

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 1>closest I've picked a side in was Drake and Meek

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>because I just wanted Drake to stand up for himself.

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was pick a side. I wanted me

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:31.879
<v Speaker 1>to come back and I wanted was that even you

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.199
<v Speaker 1>picking inside or just you liking the record more? Well, No,

0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I wanted Great to stand up for himself. That was

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the thing. Like I didn't I thought that if if

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it's because your friends and you was disappointed that because

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:45.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't treat your album, you know, you could get on

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the phone a text cause and say, hey man, damn

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I need you to please tweet my album. Versus you know,

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe you asked him once and you don't want to

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 1>ask him a second or third time. So your feelers

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>was hurt. So then you decided, Okay, well I'm gonna

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>get online and go at him regard it is just

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the truth for not you know, if that's your partner,

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 1>where you funk with him, I mean, you could have

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 1>did that. So I did want Drake to stand up.

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's the closest. But even with Cube and in

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 1>w A, I never picked a side. When I was younger,

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.159
<v Speaker 1>with Dre and Easy, I enjoyed all the Dish records.

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I never picked a side. I never had to pick

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 1>between Dred or Real or motherfucking jeez, you know, I

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>never picked between those. What's your favorite dish record peak

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:33.199
<v Speaker 1>of all time? Oh? Man, that's that's a tough one. There,

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 1>there's there's actually kind of soon some all right? Was

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you know? Um? I think I think what t I

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 1>did the flip was pretty impressive. That was pretty all right. Um,

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:52.160
<v Speaker 1>some of the little back and forth in the day

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>area been kind of cool. Real motherfucking Jesus is actually

0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:03.360
<v Speaker 1>really good. That's pretty good. Like he the foot, All

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the records that were actually like big hit records that

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 1>were diss records are definitely the best funny is Dre

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>fun with Dre on the on the chronic that is

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:20.879
<v Speaker 1>one of the most like underrated and disrespected this of

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.679
<v Speaker 1>all times, we never talked about it because it was

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>such a big smash record that I think we forget

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>it was a straight up this. I didn't forget that

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Ship is amazing, but we never name it. And it's

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:39.640
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic this they cut off. Well, I think, yeah,

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>it was composed as a record. Easy also was never

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:46.239
<v Speaker 1>really respected as a rapper like that. I think that

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 1>has a lot to do with Ship. Yes, I did

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>when I was younger, but uh, real, motherfucking Jesus is

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>like I said, when he came back with it, I

0:25:56.040 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>thought it was just yeah, Loki, Okay, let me rephrase that,

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not as a rapper, but like as a like battle

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>rappers at one time before that was happening with Cuban

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>them like Cubas also kind of like looked at like

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>almost like the lyricism of the East Coast mcity right

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 1>like that was the whole the whole conversation back then.

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 1>How good he was. So although I'm agreeing with you

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 1>with Easy, he said, what you know, how good he was?

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Was he really looked at as an MC at that time.

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't think RAP. I'm too young, but

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think RAP. I mean, maybe did you gotta

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 1>ask stealing them? I don't think RAP had that stigma

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 1>of Maybe in New York they probably would have been

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 1>talking about Easy, But I think the rest of the

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.280
<v Speaker 1>country took Easy East serious as hell, and he was

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people's favorite rapper. Off you guys, you

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>don't mind. I think he was dope man. Easily didn't

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>give a funk about none of that ship. I'm gonna

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 1>tell you know, Bob told me Easy to allay all

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 1>all that ship was hilarious. He didn't care because Easy

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>was in there for the coin. Man Easily give a

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>funk about being looked at us the most revered rapper

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 1>of all time. Easy wanted to check right because he

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 1>made sure he had dope motherfucker's right in that city.

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Was saying, is it fair to say that Easy knew

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>how to sell culture before snooped it? The coach? Absolutely? Yeah.

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I think Iced Tea set the tone first, um with

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>how you talk about it. Like before Iced Tea, everybody

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>would be rapping about you know when it came to

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:36.879
<v Speaker 1>gangster rapp, they still would be rapping about being a

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:40.160
<v Speaker 1>dope rapper or about how good they DJ was, as

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>well as the street stuff. I think with Iced Tea,

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:45.959
<v Speaker 1>you got the first record that was big where it

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 1>wasn't about being a rapper. He didn't say ship about wrapping,

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:52.159
<v Speaker 1>he didn't say about DJs. He was like, yo, this

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 1>is how we live in six in the morning, police

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 1>shot my door fresh and the squeak across the bathroom

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:01.560
<v Speaker 1>floor out my back window to make my escape. Like

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:03.959
<v Speaker 1>he was just rapping about what it was like for

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>them dudes when they and you know, and he was

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 1>out there. So okay, So moving forward where huh? I

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 1>also asked the questions a few minutes, thought, I look

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>at kind of now it's been a little bit of

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.439
<v Speaker 1>an uptick, and like, I don't know how you got started.

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't here, but it seemed like you guys are

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of starting off how kind of getting manifestation of

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 1>disk records kind of spilling over into a little bit

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:35.919
<v Speaker 1>more than verbal yeah lately. Yeah, And like for me personally,

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 1>like I kind of and a tweener a little bit

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>on generations and lived in a lot of cities back

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to back to back coming up, and I get the

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 1>impression that, like the guys say, who came up in

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the eighties and nineties, like it was hard out, like

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 1>it was a different time in eighty eight than it

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't two thousand and eight, you know, just out there,

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like people to some degree had a

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit more respect for the other guy. And you

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 1>come up and it's a little more top like when

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I had first moved to Oakland and know four people

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>were polite in the club because it popped off so

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>immediately that there was a looming cloud of consequences of

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 1>all times. After a while, about about two thousand and

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>fifteen in l A, what the riever funk they wanted

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people just kind of really, this

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 1>guy's just kind of all talk. And I feel like

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it got to a point where a lot of guys

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 1>shot their mouth off a lot. And now you get

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast to get and a record. It can

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>be kind of subtle. It can be like, oh, we

0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 1>took a jab in him. People now get on Instagram

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 1>and get on a podcast whatever, and they're taking these

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>long winded life way over the line attacks on people

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking they're not gonna do anything, and now they're actually

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>doing something. And I think there's probably a little bit

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of a learning curve with the way people will conduct

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.120
<v Speaker 1>themselves is regards to respecting that the other guys. Am

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I gonna do something to you? Kind of Yeah? Yeah,

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>But but what blows me away is this is not

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>like exclusive to our culture, you know, exclusive like if

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you listen to UM, if you listen to Cordido's music, right,

0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 1>which is like that UM I call that's like Mexican cowboys.

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>It's all about drug stories and ranchers and all of that,

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's really Mexican cowboys, and all of the ship

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 1>itself was just about they have disc records. Motherfucker's is

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.880
<v Speaker 1>getting killed over records, all kind of ships. Some of

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the greatest cordido singers and of all time. If me

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 1>got killed in the middle of rivalries between two different

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 1>clicks where both clicks have a singer that represent them

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:44.959
<v Speaker 1>and they're talking about the other one, so yeah, go ahead.

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Now I was gonna say that also has to do

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>with what they're saying. Yeah, but but but what that's

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>my point. I think I think it was always bad.

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I think now like if you look at the movement

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 1>going on Jacksonville or the movement going on in Chicago. Obviously,

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>now when they're making and composing these dish records, niggas

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 1>is actually starting to talk about niggas dead friends and relatives.

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Like it's a song I always talked about, but it's

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>out of Jacksonville. It's called who I Smoke? I thought

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 1>were great. Yeah, so again it's it's one of those

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:33.400
<v Speaker 1>places to where I think we like to sensationalized the past,

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the eighties and the nineties, and like, oh it was cool.

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>You could just put out dish records and niggas wouldn't

0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>have no problems. But like I said, Tony just made

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a good point, like shit, if if Cube is fighting

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 1>niggas at a jack the Rapper, if Cuban and Lynch

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Mob is fighting niggas at a music convention, ship niggas

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 1>was fighting in Q got into a situation with Cam

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>where one of Cam's friends they got into it like

0:31:56.800 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>a physical altercation. Um, the whole death row snoop, you know,

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Pox gives me biggie thing that really didn't

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 1>manifest into many fights and nothing. I mean, well, how

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 1>about the quick thing that seemed like Quick came out

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>consciously and put out the track to kind of gave

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 1>some respect to what's going on, to try to make

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that out happen. Yeah, but even then, Yeah, that's true.

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean so, I don't quite know why back then,

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 1>because them disse records were really bad, like dollars in

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 1>sense my DJ Quick was really really bad. I think

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 1>part of that was he had an impression like, hey,

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I made this a little bit more than a rap track,

0:32:42.080 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and those guys are right two lights down, and I

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>think word gotta roight. I should probably come out and

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>say so a little bit different, just pure speculation, but

0:32:53.200 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be irrational. Yeah. Yeah, So again it's one

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:04.719
<v Speaker 1>of those things where I can't really give you a

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>good point of view, like I can't really tell you

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>like what's really going on. Mm hmmm. I have no

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 1>idea again tying it into maybe the Internet, social media, uh,

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.960
<v Speaker 1>young boys, boys and and older people just just in

0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:36.600
<v Speaker 1>general people well desensitized. I don't but I don't even

0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 1>know if it's that right. I think that metaverse is

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a real thing. You feel me where you know maybe

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you're not hearing it, because back in the day you

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>would hear it on the streets, right you would hear

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>it on the streets, So if you went outside, you're

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear like so right now, you're gonna hear it

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 1>in the metaverse if you log on feel me, if

0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you log on the streets, the metaverse street, you know,

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean the social media streets, they could get rough

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>for you because that stually could get bad. So do

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:08.239
<v Speaker 1>you think someone that has to do with the fact

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that now the money so big that its some as

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you start recording, like you're kind of out of there

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to some degree. The more I think about it and

0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:17.520
<v Speaker 1>talking to you all about it, you know what it is,

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 1>hip hop and his truest form is a poor sport.

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a culture to work and and it's the same

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>thing with gang banging, Like gang banging has this negative connotation,

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.759
<v Speaker 1>but the reality is it's just very primitive, you know

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:38.680
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. It's a primitive way of solving everything.

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's operating in safe mode, basic, you know, I mean,

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:46.719
<v Speaker 1>like there there aren't a ton of sophisticated solutions the

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.840
<v Speaker 1>things because people don't have a ton of stuff to

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>live for, you know, they and weird situations where they

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 1>can't take care of their kids there and weird situations

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 1>where they can't earn a livable wage. Stuff that we

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:02.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about, you know, which makes you value life a

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>lot less, what I'm saying. So, I think that's why

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 1>hip hop kind of carries this stigma along with it,

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>especially now with so many more rappers. Right, there's so

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 1>many more rappers in hip hop, but hip hop is

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:22.839
<v Speaker 1>a poor sport. So again that behaviors at times are

0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 1>very primitive. They don't have sophisticated solutions. Again, because let's

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 1>say the person who shot off, right, Let's say Dalf

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 1>got killed because of the beef he had with the

0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>other rappers in Memphis. It wasn't most likely it wasn't

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 1>either of the two millionaire rappers that shot him. I mean,

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:44.759
<v Speaker 1>it could be a poor nigger that funk with them,

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 1>a couple of poor niggers that funk with him, trying

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>to pull their point, I mean, trying to gain rank

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 1>within the organization and finally caught up to somebody, and

0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 1>now they're finna get their points without even the other

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>rappers even knowing they're being affiliated with. Okay, and that

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, right, I mean, so at one time it

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was just on with all of them. For me, it

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 1>was just on. So I'd imagine I could be wrong,

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:13.799
<v Speaker 1>but I would like to believe bullets was going back

0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and forth to some degree. I don't think it was

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:19.800
<v Speaker 1>just one true sending bullets. I'm saying. I don't think that.

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think huh if that was the case,

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that got there sooner and the terms, yeah, yeah, exactly,

0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think that. Um, I don't think that

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they necessarily needed an improval because it never was off.

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It was always on. So you know, again, these dudes

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>are part of gangs and cruise and ship. And again

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe if Yo Gotti has a situation, Yo God,

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:49.360
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna get out the car and shoot everybody.

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Because he's a million dollar nigga. He gonna think about

0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:53.400
<v Speaker 1>his life. His life got value, so he's gonna be

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 1>real careful on what he do. What I'm saying, But

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the nigga that is trying to prove itself to Yo Gody,

0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that belongs to the click, that thing loyal to falls

0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 1>this way and they'll do that ship for free, feel me.

0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>And again, if it ain't off, it ain't off. Not

0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 1>to mention, let's say, if something's going on between two

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 1>cruis and something happened to one of that Nigga family members.

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 1>For me, it didn't happen to no, no, no, let's

0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 1>say the big Man, but happened to some soldiers family members.

0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 1>He might can't let it go. Yeah, but again, so

0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't think it ties into the into the actual,

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:29.040
<v Speaker 1>into the actual social media and just like when I'm

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:31.719
<v Speaker 1>talking about it's a senseless killing, like being desensitized to

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we see it all the time now,

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 1>whether someone getting hit by a car or ran over,

0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 1>thrown off a claire for just random things that happened

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 1>right like you you you really see people dying on

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 1>social media, so it kind of becomes like, oh damn.

0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Like obviously you feel sympathetic and empathetic when someone gets

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 1>killed and shot, and you know, like, but think about it,

0:37:53.800 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like when the kid x x X tent passed away

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 1>and they're filming him while he's shot, Bro, what are

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you doing? What are we doing as a society? Bro?

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.400
<v Speaker 1>The conversation right there. But I agree, I mean, I

0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 1>just think it's in though, I mean, I mean, but

0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 1>but again, yeah, maybe you're right. I mean, but then

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you can blame call of duty, you can blame grant

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:16.680
<v Speaker 1>them all that. I agree with it. I mean again

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:21.520
<v Speaker 1>ties into two movies and all kinds of stuff. Right, absolutely, Again,

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the issue again is um something

0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:32.319
<v Speaker 1>simple ast Oh, people are okay with other people dying

0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:34.719
<v Speaker 1>because I think we all understand that and know that

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that has to happen. Even if we don't accept it,

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 1>we understand it's going to happen. I think the massive

0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:42.960
<v Speaker 1>society understands that. Yeah, but that's what you're talking about,

0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.640
<v Speaker 1>something like knowing someone eventually will die. Like yes, like

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:49.640
<v Speaker 1>what we're saying pre gangs and stuff, there was always

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 1>war historically, they were always war with people dying, you

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. This is not exclusive to hip

0:38:55.080 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 1>hop or our communities right where people die you know, period. Again,

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But wouldn't you say that even gangs at one time

0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:08.440
<v Speaker 1>had a code of ethics, Like dudes are getting smoked

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in front of their kids now bro in front of

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 1>their wives. Yeah, but it's always gonna now determine your

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 1>upbringing determines your ethics, right or if you care about

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:22.560
<v Speaker 1>how you would go out, then you will make those decisions.

0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:26.680
<v Speaker 1>But again, man, people are doing some unsavory ship. Like,

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:30.319
<v Speaker 1>one thing I've I've learned to do is never say

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:32.959
<v Speaker 1>what I won't do because I don't know what's gonna

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:35.440
<v Speaker 1>compel me to do something. Again, I'm one of those

0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 1>types of people that always believe, like, I'll never let

0:39:38.040 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>people make me not be me. But then again, you know,

0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:43.839
<v Speaker 1>the more things you get to lose and the more

0:39:43.920 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 1>people you love and you care about, certain ships start

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 1>making you your character starts to devolve or evolve what

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, and then you start making different decisions based

0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>off what you have to lose. Right, and I get

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:01.560
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying. I guess like like like like prime example,

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:04.959
<v Speaker 1>like as a rapper, right, if I'm I'm not really

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to dis other rappers, I have no problem doing it.

0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:11.080
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not because for sure, I'm not dissing niggas

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for free. Like I look at a lot of niggas home. Funny,

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>like these niggas are dissing each other's free. What is

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the price for one of your dis tracks? Because I

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 1>might start to go only this and the nigga if

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the world is watching, cannot this is a nigga for free?

0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Can I disagree with you? Though? They're not dissing each

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:33.320
<v Speaker 1>other for free. They're dissing each other for popularity, bigger

0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:37.440
<v Speaker 1>on on on to get likes, to to go viral.

0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna tell you the problem in that, Like right,

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 1>rest is soul Draco recipes for me, real talent to

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>them seat when he dissed all of Inglewood, you as

0:40:46.480 --> 0:40:50.000
<v Speaker 1>an Inglewood native, right you immediately have to have a

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:53.319
<v Speaker 1>feeling mindus that how much how much more popular can

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you get from this in Inglewood when you pass Nevada

0:40:57.360 --> 0:41:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and don't nobody care about who you this it from Englewood?

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Like free to me, it's just if California, If Southern

0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.319
<v Speaker 1>California is watching you, that's for free. I'm not gonna

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:15.680
<v Speaker 1>beef with another average below average Southern California rapper. Like

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 1>if we're gonna beef, feel we're gonna get in the streets.

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna make no records. I ain't gonna talk

0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:22.440
<v Speaker 1>about you on live. I'm not gonna talk about you

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.920
<v Speaker 1>on a radio interview. If we got beef for me,

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making no. A lot of niggas are gang

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:32.160
<v Speaker 1>members and they're making records about other gangs, like that's

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.640
<v Speaker 1>whack for me, Like, I'm not mad at no nigga

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 1>who did it, But that's whacked to me because it's

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 1>like what you're trying to insult them. I ain't never

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>had beef with another hood and we're trying to assault

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:44.160
<v Speaker 1>each other. I'm not gonna meet you at the Shopper

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Center and be talking about your mama. Like, if we

0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>got issues, nigga, it's real issues, So feel me. It's

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.040
<v Speaker 1>real smoke that come with that. Ain't no joke, ain't

0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:55.200
<v Speaker 1>no talking. I'm not even with the whole writing nigga's

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:57.399
<v Speaker 1>hoods on walls and whacking them out that ship, laying

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to me, if we've really got some problems, feel me.

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the problems for real. But that's me

0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm and what I'm saying back to the point

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>where Draco like him beefing with Inglewood is free. It

0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 1>has no real value. It literally can only come with

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:16.759
<v Speaker 1>trauma to what it did right, and it may had

0:42:16.880 --> 0:42:19.239
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do, you know, the minds may have nothing

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:22.359
<v Speaker 1>to do with that particular situation, but it only could

0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 1>end that way. There was no way to go up

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 1>because you are in the war in this and all

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 1>of Inglewood. So if I'm with him, I would have

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>told you straight up, like, because bro, like that ain't

0:42:33.200 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 1>worth it. Someone asked me, like you from Ingleood. I'm like, well,

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm from Inglewood for show because I grew up

0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:41.719
<v Speaker 1>in Ingwood. I go, I go, I go, but I go.

0:42:42.440 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>When I've seen the record personally, I mean you yeah,

0:42:46.520 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't think it was a good record personally,

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:51.800
<v Speaker 1>So at that point I was just like, whatever, dude, like,

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 1>he's not even good. That's how I felt right and then.

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>But what I did tell them was now, the guys

0:42:57.920 --> 0:43:03.359
<v Speaker 1>who represent the city, whether Mexican, black or whatever from Soldiers,

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, they might have a whole another outlook on

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:08.440
<v Speaker 1>how they look at it. I don't know. I can

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 1>never speak for them because I don't do that, you

0:43:10.760 --> 0:43:12.360
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I'm not in those trenches. But

0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to connect to what you're saying, though. G Like,

0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:17.560
<v Speaker 1>with everything you're saying, it's like, when did it go

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:22.000
<v Speaker 1>from just this competitive rat right to where it's at now.

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Somewhere along the line, I feel like you had situations.

0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:30.839
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, for the most part, usually

0:43:30.880 --> 0:43:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the disc records were supposed to be about who was

0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the better rapper, and then at a certain point, once

0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>the money came into play, it became about I'm better

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and I have more money than you, and I have

0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>more bitches than you, and I got more cars than you,

0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 1>and I got whatever. It was, right like, it was

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 1>like I'm just better than you in life, you know

0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. And and then that starts demeaning. Somebody

0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:59.720
<v Speaker 1>say you do have more money than them or whatever

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 1>like that leads to this and this real negative tension.

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So again, I think you always had that situation, but

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:12.799
<v Speaker 1>the early stages of hip hop was generally about who

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:15.360
<v Speaker 1>was better. Like the bridges over was literally about my

0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>borrows better than your borrow, right like yeah, but even

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:24.320
<v Speaker 1>then it was really disrespectful. What was it though? I

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:26.359
<v Speaker 1>mean it was, but I mean, where they're gonna kill

0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:29.920
<v Speaker 1>each other over it? My fight. But that's my point, Like,

0:44:31.120 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 1>here's the truth. If Chris goes the car as one,

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:39.480
<v Speaker 1>because if the teacher goes through Queens Bridge, let's say

0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:42.080
<v Speaker 1>it goes to the housing project in Queen's Bridge, he

0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 1>probably doesn't leave there. Probably don't leave there, you know

0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:50.480
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, he probably won't leave there right after

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the bridge is over. How that felt. If you're from

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Queen's Bridge and you go to them projects, you probably

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:59.680
<v Speaker 1>don't leave there. So then so then it's fair to

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>say we can tie it into social media, because now

0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they will do that just to go I mean your hood,

0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean your three in the morning. That happened with

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 1>a cool dude, Kafani from the Bay and that's how

0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:15.399
<v Speaker 1>he got I got paralyzed. And but Fani is dope,

0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 1>is folk? Who's that young kid? Did you show me

0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:20.160
<v Speaker 1>his video? Bro? That he he did the video at

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the guys cemetery or like his Oh that's insane, bro.

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:29.080
<v Speaker 1>But again again it's one of those things where in

0:45:29.160 --> 0:45:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that situation, it's still different, right because both of those

0:45:33.040 --> 0:45:37.360
<v Speaker 1>guys are you know, top tier rap there above the

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:39.840
<v Speaker 1>average folk. There in that to me, there in that

0:45:40.320 --> 0:45:43.839
<v Speaker 1>three percent out of rappers that people know, right, So yes,

0:45:44.080 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that's even though it's interesting. National brands huh, national brands

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:52.319
<v Speaker 1>for sure, Yeah, their national brands. So those two going

0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:54.800
<v Speaker 1>at it, that's cool, you see me, Like, I get that,

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:57.800
<v Speaker 1>even though the deaf part that is big creepy. But

0:45:57.880 --> 0:45:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean people talked about it for a day, so

0:45:59.560 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe that what he was trying to get, Like back

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to Draco, that ship is for free because you're not

0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:15.759
<v Speaker 1>talking to national brands, you're talking about something with a

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>whole city. I'm again, he's this in some rappers, but

0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:22.080
<v Speaker 1>he he's also this in the streets. Who did he this?

0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Because I never heard the names? So his his situation

0:46:25.480 --> 0:46:30.600
<v Speaker 1>was with the love Honny ask chike uh A couple

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of dogs. But who was the other couple of other

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:35.560
<v Speaker 1>duds MAKA with that dope Frosty some really all of

0:46:35.600 --> 0:46:38.440
<v Speaker 1>them guys, all of me, Draco, they was all really spectacler.

0:46:38.520 --> 0:46:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Draco was like a real trendsettor. Like to me, Draco

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in one take, j are they have the most you know,

0:46:47.640 --> 0:46:50.160
<v Speaker 1>they're the most influential rappers on the West Coast in

0:46:50.200 --> 0:46:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the last probably five years, six years, like people got

0:46:57.080 --> 0:46:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you know a lot of people kind of are influenced

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:03.360
<v Speaker 1>by what they do on the mike. So again, I

0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do this ship for free. But I'm not fin

0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:10.839
<v Speaker 1>a battle a nigga from l A. I'm not fin

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a disrecording a nigga from l A that that ain't

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:17.399
<v Speaker 1>even further than I am. Like if you just when

0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm at or below where I'm at. Feel me if

0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not like a platinum, multi platinum artist like I'm

0:47:23.600 --> 0:47:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a gold artist. If you're not a multi platinum artist like,

0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not dissing you for what Like if we really

0:47:29.680 --> 0:47:31.800
<v Speaker 1>got problems, I'm gonna see you and get with you.

0:47:32.719 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 1>That's my belief. The one thing I respected about Pocket

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and how he framed his disrecords. I respected his business acumen.

0:47:38.920 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 1>He understood the value of war. He understood how much

0:47:43.080 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 1>war shaped economies and created billionaires and millionaires, you know

0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. And so when he did decided, you know,

0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 1>because I how do I say that everybody gonna be man,

0:47:53.160 --> 0:47:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't get fun. He really Biggie didn't have nothing

0:47:56.480 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 1>to do with him getting shot at all. He knew

0:47:59.760 --> 0:48:01.359
<v Speaker 1>big didn't have something to do with him getting shot.

0:48:01.800 --> 0:48:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But he knew if he shaped the conversation, the general

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:09.600
<v Speaker 1>public would feel that way. So then their beef looks

0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:14.800
<v Speaker 1>like I'm mad you got me shot. So when he

0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:17.200
<v Speaker 1>put out his disk record, remember that disk record doesn't

0:48:17.239 --> 0:48:20.359
<v Speaker 1>come out to roughly June or his album came out

0:48:20.440 --> 0:48:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in February. The dish record came out as a MAXI single.

0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Right of how do You want it? So when how

0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:29.160
<v Speaker 1>do You Want It? Came out as a record, they

0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:31.000
<v Speaker 1>used to have these things called Maxi singles where they

0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.359
<v Speaker 1>would include a couple of different singles. So it might

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:36.480
<v Speaker 1>have had how do you Want It? It might have

0:48:36.600 --> 0:48:42.360
<v Speaker 1>had uh, it might have had um. I think I

0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:46.800
<v Speaker 1>had California Love on it, and it also had uh

0:48:48.680 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 1>uh goddamn song hit him up, you know what I'm saying.

0:48:51.719 --> 0:48:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So again he planned that whole thing. He understood the

0:48:55.400 --> 0:48:59.080
<v Speaker 1>value of war, so he created a war. It was

0:48:59.160 --> 0:49:00.759
<v Speaker 1>some stuff going on on the side, you know where

0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:03.960
<v Speaker 1>it was simple competitiveness, right, and the dog pound thing

0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:06.160
<v Speaker 1>did get kind of crazy because they did get shot at.

0:49:06.640 --> 0:49:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Even though the person didn't shoot at him close. He

0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:10.840
<v Speaker 1>wasn't trying to blow their head though, somebody could have

0:49:10.880 --> 0:49:13.480
<v Speaker 1>got shot because no matter how far the trade. He

0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:15.279
<v Speaker 1>talks and tells the story, he said, they were far

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:17.560
<v Speaker 1>away and they shot way over there, but somebody could

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:20.759
<v Speaker 1>have still got shot. So outside of that and all

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff at the source awards where they're competing,

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, it was simple. It was competitive.

0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:30.120
<v Speaker 1>When pot came, he made it feel real. And the

0:49:30.200 --> 0:49:32.880
<v Speaker 1>reason it felt real is because we watched Pop get shot,

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, a year and a half before that or

0:49:35.480 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>a year before that. It was in a wheelchair, wrapped

0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:41.400
<v Speaker 1>up and we heard the stories. So again, once you

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:45.040
<v Speaker 1>figured that Biggie was in the actual vicinity in the building,

0:49:45.840 --> 0:49:49.040
<v Speaker 1>he understood how to pitch the he understood how to

0:49:49.080 --> 0:49:51.600
<v Speaker 1>control emotions and why people would feel like he's upset.

0:49:52.000 --> 0:49:55.080
<v Speaker 1>He it didn't even matter that he told people Biggie

0:49:55.080 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't have nothing to do with it. He knew people

0:49:56.640 --> 0:50:00.840
<v Speaker 1>would feel that way, and then he just compounded it

0:50:01.120 --> 0:50:03.320
<v Speaker 1>with everything else about being better than him or not

0:50:03.480 --> 0:50:08.320
<v Speaker 1>better than him, right, or the value in his wife.

0:50:09.840 --> 0:50:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, how valuable was his wife to he could

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:16.200
<v Speaker 1>sleep with his wife, that made him more valuable than Biggie.

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:19.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's worth If you're gonna put out dish records

0:50:20.480 --> 0:50:23.719
<v Speaker 1>like you know, let it do. Yeah, you gotta go

0:50:24.000 --> 0:50:26.680
<v Speaker 1>top tier for the coin if that's what you're doing,

0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, But if it's gonna be inner city like

0:50:30.600 --> 0:50:34.720
<v Speaker 1>job in fifty cent, which back down is a fantastic

0:50:35.560 --> 0:50:41.920
<v Speaker 1>this record, I mean, unbelievable, but okay, it's too national

0:50:42.000 --> 0:50:44.799
<v Speaker 1>brand at least, so fifth coming up, he's he's he's

0:50:44.880 --> 0:50:47.800
<v Speaker 1>on the way, but he's not quite well. He was

0:50:47.880 --> 0:50:52.440
<v Speaker 1>there because waankster too. So if you're gonna do Inner

0:50:52.680 --> 0:50:55.640
<v Speaker 1>City or Inner Borow at that point, at least let

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it be to national brands. So when you talk in

0:50:57.719 --> 0:51:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the world is listening. I'm not talking in and making

0:51:00.640 --> 0:51:05.160
<v Speaker 1>records for thirteen niggas to hear it. You feel me

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:06.879
<v Speaker 1>like I'll make you a good record for that. I'm

0:51:06.880 --> 0:51:10.120
<v Speaker 1>not gonna put out a record on some niggas. You

0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:11.480
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying that I might have to kill

0:51:11.520 --> 0:51:13.279
<v Speaker 1>a nigga and I didn't pis him off and now

0:51:13.360 --> 0:51:15.480
<v Speaker 1>he got to drop on me. I'm not gonna say

0:51:15.520 --> 0:51:21.080
<v Speaker 1>shit because I'm looking to get at you. A lot

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of niggas get on social media. My take is and

0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna tweet. I'm not gonna instagram you. I'm

0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:28.680
<v Speaker 1>not gonna put them on pictures. Tell you. I'm not

0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 1>even gonna let you know I'm mad. If you did

0:51:31.680 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 1>something to me and you know it's something you can

0:51:34.280 --> 0:51:36.800
<v Speaker 1>rest ashore, you can bet your fucking bottom dollar, nigga,

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming. Feel me like the motherfucking tax man, Like

0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't go saying, don't matter how long it takes,

0:51:44.840 --> 0:51:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get to you, and I'm not gonna

0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:48.479
<v Speaker 1>say nothing about it because I want to get away

0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:50.840
<v Speaker 1>with it, and the point needs to be proven between

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.239
<v Speaker 1>me and you, not everybody else. I'm not trying to

0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:56.560
<v Speaker 1>show as an m C or as a street guy.

0:51:56.800 --> 0:51:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to show the world that I'm a

0:51:58.400 --> 0:52:02.200
<v Speaker 1>street guy. This is personal. I'm building my resume to

0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:04.279
<v Speaker 1>glasses so when I look in the mirror as I

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:06.759
<v Speaker 1>get older, the reason I don't tell is because when

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I look in the mirror, I want to be like

0:52:08.560 --> 0:52:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I made it without telling, And whatever I do, I

0:52:11.960 --> 0:52:14.800
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be known for me versus my amies. The

0:52:14.840 --> 0:52:17.160
<v Speaker 1>way that I was taught was you do this so

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:20.520
<v Speaker 1>other people you know, know that you're about that ship.

0:52:20.960 --> 0:52:23.160
<v Speaker 1>For me, it's about me. You don't gotta know whether

0:52:23.200 --> 0:52:25.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm about that ship because I'm not gonna say nothing

0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:32.439
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna get too far out of hand. She still

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:35.359
<v Speaker 1>got that stupid as Teddy Beer up there. I don't

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:41.200
<v Speaker 1>know what did he disappeared like? Thirty men? Oh Teddy Beer?

0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:46.120
<v Speaker 1>That nice ass nigger. My favorite rap beef right now

0:52:46.320 --> 0:52:48.680
<v Speaker 1>by far, just because of how long it's gone on.

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:51.920
<v Speaker 1>In the details and stuff I do like that massy

0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:55.360

<v Speaker 1>ship is motherfucker's getting killed over that ship. Yeah, big top,

0:52:58.960 --> 0:53:01.239
<v Speaker 1>but the fact that it's continues to go on and

0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on amidst all of that that there was like term

0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:08.560

<v Speaker 1>gotta have um like a capital now he called him

0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:44.120

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:49.239
<v Speaker 1>that's that's to me. That's what it is. Trash Like,

0:53:50.040 --> 0:53:53.040
<v Speaker 1>once a nigga get shot, it ain't now. It ain't

0:53:53.040 --> 0:53:56.120
<v Speaker 1>records no more. I'm not listening to no more rap records.

0:53:56.680 --> 0:53:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a log off completely because oh, this ship is serious.

0:54:00.200 --> 0:54:08.879
<v Speaker 1>These tracks are effidentiary. Yeah, it's like a self snitching album. Well,

0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:11.880
<v Speaker 1>what isn't that all the all the rappers do that?

0:54:11.960 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Ship now they snitch on themselves, bros. Is not killing nobody.

0:54:15.680 --> 0:54:18.600
<v Speaker 1>The rappers themselves are rarely killing somebody. It's somebody in

0:54:18.640 --> 0:54:22.040
<v Speaker 1>their crew or somebody. They're still snitching. It doesn't matter

0:54:22.600 --> 0:54:24.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're telling talking about it just to try to

0:54:25.360 --> 0:54:30.240
<v Speaker 1>They're not saying, hey, this person killed this person. They're saying,

0:54:31.000 --> 0:54:36.440
<v Speaker 1>yeah he is that is I'm not there's an injunction

0:54:36.560 --> 0:54:39.719
<v Speaker 1>on on thirties, which there probably is. That dude is

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:47.520
<v Speaker 1>so so reco vulnerable. Yeah, that's crazy. Again Again, I'm

0:54:47.560 --> 0:54:50.200
<v Speaker 1>not working with that. When motherfucker's started getting shot and ship,

0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:53.120
<v Speaker 1>this ship real and now I'm not playing for me Now,

0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take it like a real situation with niggas

0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:58.560
<v Speaker 1>is getting shot. That's different. But I'm not I'm not

0:54:58.680 --> 0:55:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the advocate of niggas getting out. I don't given how

0:55:01.040 --> 0:55:03.240
<v Speaker 1>much cripping the black, I'm not the advocate of nigga

0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:05.800
<v Speaker 1>shooting each other. Feel me and then me being a

0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:08.600
<v Speaker 1>part of it or enjoying it. It's serious now, So

0:55:08.719 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>now it was like either I'm just gonna log off

0:55:11.320 --> 0:55:14.239
<v Speaker 1>for the whole ship. Fear me, I'm gonna log off,

0:55:14.560 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 1>or I'm gonna try to become something in the middle

0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:19.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Hey, this ship going too far. So in

0:55:19.160 --> 0:55:22.799
<v Speaker 1>that particular situation, I logged off. Bro that ship got

0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:25.560
<v Speaker 1>way too it was. It's dope when you're flexing rap

0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:28.880
<v Speaker 1>skills and y'all maybe squabble a little better something. Oh

0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:31.439
<v Speaker 1>nigga started popping niggas next to niggas and nigga start

0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 1>getting killed. You nigga is tripping. I'm not in the

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.440
<v Speaker 1>booth making no rap song. If a nigga killed one

0:55:37.480 --> 0:55:41.919
<v Speaker 1>of my homeboys behind the rap shit, rap is done. Yeah,

0:55:42.560 --> 0:55:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it's on now. Now we gotta get the catalysts. We

0:55:45.239 --> 0:55:48.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta get the nucleus for the problem. We gotta go

0:55:48.160 --> 0:55:49.960
<v Speaker 1>ahead and kill a whole sale. We gotta get right

0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Filmily're gonna get the Yoka family. You're gonna beating egg Whites.

0:55:53.520 --> 0:55:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Ain't no flavoring that ship because for sure, I mean,

0:55:56.000 --> 0:55:58.879
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get the Yokes. So I don't know how.

0:55:59.600 --> 0:56:02.240
<v Speaker 1>That's another thing, like I don't respect niggas who rapped

0:56:03.080 --> 0:56:06.840
<v Speaker 1>after one of your friends get killed. Like you know

0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:09.560
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Like, I'm not mad about getting no money,

0:56:09.600 --> 0:56:12.399
<v Speaker 1>but if a nigga killed one of your friends, don't

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:14.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna you kill for his friends. Ain't nothing to wrap

0:56:14.480 --> 0:56:17.320
<v Speaker 1>about them feel because you got to distinguish the problem

0:56:17.480 --> 0:56:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in my mind. Mm hmm. That's and this records have

0:56:24.560 --> 0:56:28.920
<v Speaker 1>just came to another height. Like I'm saying, it's like again,

0:56:28.960 --> 0:56:31.360
<v Speaker 1>there's so many rappers now, so it seems like rappers

0:56:31.400 --> 0:56:33.520
<v Speaker 1>is dying every week. Well, I think again, the problem

0:56:33.760 --> 0:56:36.920
<v Speaker 1>happened with with hip hop in general, right, like what

0:56:37.120 --> 0:56:39.239
<v Speaker 1>it looks at rap music, which part of hip hop,

0:56:39.400 --> 0:56:43.320
<v Speaker 1>right is that it stopped being like I guess the

0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:45.320
<v Speaker 1>era that maybe a lot of us grew up and

0:56:45.360 --> 0:56:49.239
<v Speaker 1>where it was about what you're saying, like being good

0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:51.960
<v Speaker 1>at what you're saying. Like I'm not saying that none

0:56:52.000 --> 0:56:53.600
<v Speaker 1>of these guys aren't good, because there are guys that

0:56:53.680 --> 0:56:56.080
<v Speaker 1>can rap, but I don't think that they value that

0:56:56.239 --> 0:56:59.160
<v Speaker 1>as much anymore. Right, I don't agree with that they

0:56:59.200 --> 0:57:01.919
<v Speaker 1>really you think they really? Man, I'm tight. I don't

0:57:01.920 --> 0:57:04.120
<v Speaker 1>even hear nobody saying nothing like that, like there, oh

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:06.920
<v Speaker 1>she is still about I got money and I got this,

0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and I got that and then I'll kill you and

0:57:08.880 --> 0:57:12.600
<v Speaker 1>shoot you and suck your bitch and your wife. But

0:57:12.719 --> 0:57:15.359
<v Speaker 1>you could date that back to nigga. What is the whole?

0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:18.800
<v Speaker 1>What is no vass lead? God Damn. I'm glad y'all

0:57:18.840 --> 0:57:21.000
<v Speaker 1>said it all used to be hard. Now you just

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:23.000
<v Speaker 1>went and saw first she was dad with the a K.

0:57:23.400 --> 0:57:25.960
<v Speaker 1>You ain't talking about the motherfucking rap songs. Now see

0:57:26.000 --> 0:57:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you on the video with mister lay looking like straight bozos.

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I saw it coming. That's why I went solo and

0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:34.680
<v Speaker 1>kept on stomping, Like y'all. Motherfucker's more straight out of

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:39.520
<v Speaker 1>content even with the whites without another nigga sight for me,

0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:43.040
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't you know. He wasn't talking about no motherfucking

0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 1>being better. He was talking. He was going at them

0:57:46.280 --> 0:57:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Nigga's core let alone hit him up. He starts the

0:57:49.600 --> 0:57:52.200
<v Speaker 1>song off saying, that's why I fucked your bitch. So

0:57:52.360 --> 0:57:54.800
<v Speaker 1>but that's where I think it started changing. Yeah, but

0:57:54.840 --> 0:57:57.880
<v Speaker 1>it had to change with cute nigga, even even if

0:57:57.960 --> 0:58:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you read the lyrics to mother fucking uh but it

0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Bridge is over. Yeah, But those were the dis tracks.

0:58:05.120 --> 0:58:07.400
<v Speaker 1>The other songs that were happening, like say on the

0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:10.240
<v Speaker 1>same album, or that came out the same summer. There

0:58:10.280 --> 0:58:12.600
<v Speaker 1>were guys that were still rapping kind of are making

0:58:12.640 --> 0:58:15.480
<v Speaker 1>at least a point if they weren't explicitly saying, this

0:58:15.600 --> 0:58:17.280
<v Speaker 1>is a song I'm gonna wrap out a good rapper

0:58:17.280 --> 0:58:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I am. It was written in such a way as

0:58:19.440 --> 0:58:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to highlight how good of a rapper you were, and

0:58:21.920 --> 0:58:25.160
<v Speaker 1>then sometimes probably about two thousands of change, it was

0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:27.640
<v Speaker 1>about like pinch, he said, it's about you. You're talking

0:58:27.640 --> 0:58:30.000
<v Speaker 1>about your adult crisis and how much weight you're moving

0:58:30.040 --> 0:58:31.760
<v Speaker 1>and how many guys are in the truck, and that

0:58:31.920 --> 0:58:36.400
<v Speaker 1>was all you're talking about. Nobody like sure, like so

0:58:36.520 --> 0:58:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the Queen's Bridge, Yes, he had more about being a

0:58:39.280 --> 0:58:44.560
<v Speaker 1>better rapper. Um. But then there's other songs. He called

0:58:44.640 --> 0:58:49.040
<v Speaker 1>them Nigga's game in that same song. But now that's

0:58:49.120 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole album. The other songs don't exist. Shoot, I

0:58:54.520 --> 0:58:57.240
<v Speaker 1>don't yeah, I don't know. Maybe so I've never heard

0:58:57.280 --> 0:58:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the whole this album. We'll not to say that this album,

0:59:00.160 --> 0:59:02.520
<v Speaker 1>like there's the distracts in the album and the other album.

0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:05.160
<v Speaker 1>The rest of the album is not really about refining

0:59:05.200 --> 0:59:07.360
<v Speaker 1>your craft so much. That is, it's just about bragging,

0:59:07.400 --> 0:59:11.440
<v Speaker 1>whether being righteously or falsely. This nigga said Mr Magic

0:59:11.520 --> 0:59:16.320
<v Speaker 1>sucks Diex in his wrap. KRS one said, Mr Magic,

0:59:16.760 --> 0:59:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it sucking dick. Your moth is good for sucking your

0:59:20.560 --> 0:59:24.840
<v Speaker 1>mom is good for sucking that. It's always been disrespectful.

0:59:25.480 --> 0:59:28.960
<v Speaker 1>It's always been and now they're just getting more disrespectful.

0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:32.400
<v Speaker 1>But if you're telling another man that a man sucking dick,

0:59:32.480 --> 0:59:34.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't get more disrespectful than that. I don't even know.

0:59:35.200 --> 0:59:38.439
<v Speaker 1>It's saying your dead friend. It's worse than saying that nigga,

0:59:38.520 --> 0:59:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you sucking did No, you're right. I mean again, when

0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:43.919
<v Speaker 1>you start to really look at the lyrics, I think

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:46.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was just I think how we felt about

0:59:47.000 --> 0:59:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it was different. Yeah, that's what I was gonna get

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to saying. But I agree with you. Everybody don't pride

0:59:52.840 --> 0:59:57.440
<v Speaker 1>themselves or they're not passionate as hip hop artists or

0:59:57.520 --> 1:00:00.560
<v Speaker 1>even as mcs or even now. We have a lot

1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:03.439
<v Speaker 1>of great rappers making great rap songs. Not not a ton,

1:00:03.560 --> 1:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>but we got a lot. We got a nice amount.

1:00:06.360 --> 1:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>But it's but it's still not even about them being

1:00:08.320 --> 1:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>great rappers. It's literally the it's it's literally become a

1:00:11.160 --> 1:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>hustle to make try to make money. Yeah, but but

1:00:13.760 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>streaming services created that middle class of it it yeah

1:00:20.360 --> 1:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>but but but they created a bigger middle class to

1:00:24.320 --> 1:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>where now you don't actually have to try to be

1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the best. All you have to do is create a

1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>style or a genre and and find your audience and

1:00:34.880 --> 1:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>you'll make a living. See hip hop before it wasn't

1:00:37.760 --> 1:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. You It was either reserved for the elite

1:00:41.760 --> 1:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>or the or the passionate. Everybody was passionate, you know,

1:00:45.280 --> 1:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>even the underground guys was like, let's say a planet

1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Asia for me. He was passionate about the craft. And

1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. These guys are more or less about,

1:00:54.720 --> 1:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, making that coin, and nobody can be mad

1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>at him. You know, when you pour its opportunity and

1:01:00.280 --> 1:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>only one said go ahead. I was gonna say, only

1:01:04.120 --> 1:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>one percent of people can be in the top one percent.

1:01:07.400 --> 1:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, say, if you're talking about the skill set

1:01:09.680 --> 1:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of rappers, if like like when Easy came out, he

1:01:15.040 --> 1:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't one of the best pure rappers out, but he

1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>made a lot of money and he was super famous.

1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Selling an image and making a movie on wax, Well,

1:01:24.320 --> 1:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to do that as a fifty percentile rapper.

1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>So then everybody else who's not in the top one

1:01:31.120 --> 1:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>percent rappers realizes that I have a blueprint. Now you

1:01:33.880 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>can see where that went from a small slice of

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>records to now the majority of records. But I probably

1:01:38.200 --> 1:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>about two thousand seven or eight people were just out

1:01:40.640 --> 1:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>there making songs and saying whatever in any kind of way,

1:01:44.560 --> 1:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and even like really really good rappers probably were worth

1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>less than really really marketable images who couldn't rap for good.

1:01:55.600 --> 1:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>They're looking out for tuning into the No Sellers podcast.

1:01:58.520 --> 1:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Please do us a favorite, great comments share. This episode

1:02:02.440 --> 1:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>was recorded right here on the West coast of the

1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>USA and produced by my homeboy A King for the
