Speaker 1: Being a gang member Gangmingers, not being anti anyone. It's
Speaker 1: about being pro your friends. That's what make you do
Speaker 1: all the ship you do. What that forty tastes like that?
Speaker 1: It tastes like PEPSI now because that's just scared the
Speaker 1: funk out of me. But I think it's just a
Speaker 1: little chill. That's not that big a deal. You can
Speaker 1: put in the freezer roll do the same thing a
Speaker 1: little higher viscosity. I don't know what that means. I
Speaker 1: used to put tankin number ten in the freezer. It
Speaker 1: would never freeze, but it would pour out like valveoline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I'm afraid of. I don't know. It's you know why,
Speaker 1: it's because it's getting closer to freezing, and certain elements
Speaker 1: of it do freeze because you're below like it's it's
Speaker 1: obviously like alcohol. So there's a large percentage of water.
Speaker 1: So if you put in a freezer, the water's gonna
Speaker 1: start to freeze. Alcoholm getting the way. So like the
Speaker 1: case of anything hotter and colder, impacts you know, density
Speaker 1: for square inch or for our cubic rather, So that's
Speaker 1: kind of the process there in real time. So what's
Speaker 1: one So so yeah, in alcohol. What's tequila forty? Most
Speaker 1: all of them are forty. There's some whiskeys and some
Speaker 1: chins that are above that, but standard is eight alcohol.
Speaker 1: People like people who don't well, I see people who
Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about. We'll call we'll call
Speaker 1: them women women. When women act like, oh, I can't
Speaker 1: drink tequila because tequila is too strong, give me some
Speaker 1: knac bitch, it's the same thing. It's a problem. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry that one glass and another class happens to be
Speaker 1: the same thing. I didn't make the rules. Man, love you, bro, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I genuinely do. I got seven fans now, up from three. Man,
Speaker 1: uh uh. That didn't make sense to him either. They
Speaker 1: still don't understand what you meant. My seven fans knew
Speaker 1: what the funk I meant. Goddam, but we started at seven.
Speaker 1: Next week to be four teens. There you'll be watching Lettuce.
Speaker 1: That's what you make consistent manager. That's what he be
Speaker 1: killing it, Charlotte, man be talking. That's why I know you,
Speaker 1: because he'd be talking about you. I feel like that
Speaker 1: man hates my fucking gus. He does it maybe maybe not,
Speaker 1: I don't know, But if any of my partners will
Speaker 1: hate you would probably be Van, and I don't think
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get along. Yeah, but I don't think Van.
Speaker 1: He's never said yo Ji Pete, but he would be
Speaker 1: kind of the person I would think that would be
Speaker 1: if somebody was like man, Pete, Man, he just too saucy.
Speaker 1: I think naturally is always gonna be a thing where
Speaker 1: you and these conversations and you know, but I think
Speaker 1: a white person should have space in the conversation because
Speaker 1: this is America. I didn't ask for the conversation. The
Speaker 1: conversation asked for me exactly. Maybe I overshot it a
Speaker 1: little bit, but that's not told that rock ye on me,
Speaker 1: all right, So no zealings, right, Me and Pete sp More.
Speaker 1: Uncle moved back up in this motherfucker added he the
Speaker 1: king is back. The king is back. The king was gone.
Speaker 1: The King gets back. He has came back on his
Speaker 1: loyal peasants were running the king's presidents. You know what
Speaker 1: it was like, remember Robin Hood men in tights when
Speaker 1: when Prince John was running England while King Richard was
Speaker 1: away the crusades. It's funny in tights in the real
Speaker 1: but but yeah, it's like now that's the movie with
Speaker 1: k Richard is back from the Crusades. You have fun.
Speaker 1: Thank you Pete for that one, man, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: That was a good visual than you man that movie
Speaker 1: when that was remember that first that Yeah, yeah, he
Speaker 1: was liked he was. He was trying to god, he
Speaker 1: was the more. He was Morgan Freeman. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman. Side like, man, you ain't gonna do this,
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna fight. That's really black people too. That's
Speaker 1: how I feel all the time night. But what do
Speaker 1: we really? What's really going on? But I blame the Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: back then there was drinking, probably rum or some kind
Speaker 1: of bourbon Scotch, Scott Scott whiskey like that, and that's
Speaker 1: what make just fight all the time people, particularly in gangbanging.
Speaker 1: It's the yak get you killed. Bro. What I realized
Speaker 1: about gang banging, right, is how many people outside of
Speaker 1: it is clueless. It could be somebody that's close to it,
Speaker 1: but they have no idea. Right, I'm saying you far
Speaker 1: still like you still technically kind of far. I got
Speaker 1: homies who grew up around their way feel me that
Speaker 1: just didn't necessarily subscribe and they have no idea and
Speaker 1: they'be like, glasses man, you just man, I'm what kills
Speaker 1: me is how people really think it's about the street
Speaker 1: sign and the bandanna. That's the weirdest thing in the
Speaker 1: world to me, because I'll be like, I'll be online
Speaker 1: talking to somebody like and somebody would call itselfs trolling
Speaker 1: me and be like, your fucking gangbanger, you know, you
Speaker 1: kill black people for a living, And I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: what they think. It is like a mercenary. Yeah, oh god,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fun king is doing. And
Speaker 1: that's because him he focused on everything else except doing
Speaker 1: the show. I got your guys, it's all equalized, don't worry.
Speaker 1: So it's exactly. I don't know why you you saw races.
Speaker 1: Equalized should be the engineered for the world. Oh so
Speaker 1: the it is. So that's that's that's saying this stuff
Speaker 1: about game thing And they're usually coming from the internet, right,
Speaker 1: Like not not because homies in the hood they might
Speaker 1: not know some ship, but at least they're not gonna
Speaker 1: say you kill motherfucker's for a living. Well, this is
Speaker 1: the weird part, right. Um. The simple perception is like,
Speaker 1: let's say if somebody became a sixty, right, they became
Speaker 1: a neighborhood roll in sixties if you didn't grow up
Speaker 1: you know in the ass or in the fronts on Ardenton,
Speaker 1: or or in Corona or Ontary. Learning got too far.
Speaker 1: Let's just focus just in the initial areas of the cities.
Speaker 1: Right on the front the fronts right, which is off
Speaker 1: of Western, you know Western and in Florence. Right, that's
Speaker 1: the front the Arlington right, Arlington off of Florence down,
Speaker 1: that's the art, the a G niggas that stay a
Speaker 1: little click in the sisties and then the Asps right,
Speaker 1: that's between Arlington and Crenshaw, you know between uh Slawson
Speaker 1: in Florence. That's the Asps. Then you cross over right,
Speaker 1: you got Brian Hurst and a couple other small clicks
Speaker 1: before you get to Overhill right, which goes all the
Speaker 1: way to Overhill from Chris Shaw. The Overhill and they're
Speaker 1: the ones who are really good off the tea and
Speaker 1: pretty decent on the green and we murder your ass too.
Speaker 1: They're just crazy, I have note, they just but but
Speaker 1: what kills me? Right? So back to this point, right,
Speaker 1: So it's a Confugia penas ship. Yeah, because that's that's
Speaker 1: like a real thing that they take a personal and ship.
Speaker 1: This is what happens when we're supposed you got jokes,
Speaker 1: you got jokes. Huh sits out? So no, don't do
Speaker 1: they want to kill me over three or four girls
Speaker 1: a week any now? Yes, but this is different. It's different.
Speaker 1: This is this is different. Look, okay, look because you're
Speaker 1: sucking it up all right, so look so back let
Speaker 1: me finish, teacher y'all sucking up? So Western Florence right,
Speaker 1: that's the front hood sixties, because that's the front of
Speaker 1: the sixties, right, the Arlington Niggas. Right, that's off Arlington
Speaker 1: right off Florence between Slaws and that's the Arlington Niggas.
Speaker 1: They call it. The A G between Arlington and Chris
Speaker 1: shaw Slawson and Florence is the ABS. Right. Then once
Speaker 1: you cross Chris Shall, right, you have bron Hurts, a
Speaker 1: couple small streets and stuff like that back there, right
Speaker 1: it's the overhills. So it's a confusion, right that if
Speaker 1: you're from over there, Um do me if every king
Speaker 1: because your content creators cutting out the A C to
Speaker 1: better improve your sound quality as listeners, So don't never
Speaker 1: say We're not in this for you guys. Right. So
Speaker 1: what it is is this is what people think. People
Speaker 1: think to be a sixty. The culture of being a
Speaker 1: sixty is wearing a blue bandanna, a Seattle hat, right
Speaker 1: or or a Yankee had and beefing with the a trades.
Speaker 1: People think a part of game bang culture is beefing
Speaker 1: with somebody. So if you're from a trays, I think
Speaker 1: they think the culture to somebody to me who don't
Speaker 1: understand what being a tray is about, they would think
Speaker 1: the culture is, oh, we beef for neighborhoods. That's not
Speaker 1: what the culture is on gang bang. And it's not
Speaker 1: who you war with. You know, being who you are
Speaker 1: is why you end up warring with him. You know,
Speaker 1: the experiences, that's why you end up in the war
Speaker 1: with somebody. Right. So, like you're born in America. Imagine
Speaker 1: some kid being born in America and he just wake
Speaker 1: up like fun Russia, like because at one time America had,
Speaker 1: you know, disagreements on lifestyles with Russia, per se, Like
Speaker 1: it's kind of a silly concept, Like that's not um.
Speaker 1: They try to turn gang banging into half fielding. McCoy's
Speaker 1: like you don't the reason to see these people they trades.
Speaker 1: It wasn't always like that. It was because somebody that
Speaker 1: they all loved, even a trades love, got killed in
Speaker 1: the middle of a fight. And he got killed by
Speaker 1: somebody who didn't grow up in a trade or sixty culture.
Speaker 1: He was somebody else from somewhere else. It came over
Speaker 1: there and they allowed him to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: And when a fight happened, something that's simple. He didn't
Speaker 1: understand the dynamics between the name borhoods, between the two,
Speaker 1: the two areas, the two or tribes, and he went
Speaker 1: too far and killed somebody. And then the person was
Speaker 1: a beloved person, right, Tyrone, which is this legendary dude
Speaker 1: from says his name is Big Rick. It's his younger
Speaker 1: brother that created the spiral that became was labeled as
Speaker 1: the worst, you know, the first or worst crip war
Speaker 1: history because somebody who everybody loved got killed. And then
Speaker 1: after that, you know, you you you poverty, right, You've
Speaker 1: got poverty in the middle of a capitalistic society, right,
Speaker 1: so people don't know when you poor and your ship
Speaker 1: is fucked up, you don't know how to deal with
Speaker 1: your emotions. Correctly. You don't come up all the time
Speaker 1: with amicable solutions, you know what I mean. It becomes
Speaker 1: very triggering capitalism because poor social us be killing each
Speaker 1: other at a higher the poverty is the poverty period saying.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is here in the middle of it,
Speaker 1: because it's not an attack of capitalism or or socialism,
Speaker 1: it's I'm saying, it's survivalism. Yeah, well, you stick poor
Speaker 1: people around, like you know, poor people in the center,
Speaker 1: and like, if you're from where we're from, right, if
Speaker 1: you go north, you're gonna run in the wealth. You
Speaker 1: go west, you're gonna run the wealth. You go east,
Speaker 1: you gonn run the wealth. You go south, we're gonna
Speaker 1: running the wealth of So you're kind of in this
Speaker 1: pool of poverty not and again poverty comparative. Okay, So
Speaker 1: now so when the person gets killed, right, so when
Speaker 1: Tyrone gets killed, mind you, these are people, first off,
Speaker 1: their kids now, even the oldest people ricking him. I
Speaker 1: think at that time it's probably Tyrone wasn't even eighteen
Speaker 1: a legal adult. So you got all these kids right now,
Speaker 1: they're part of four nations. They're part of four nations,
Speaker 1: four nations. There's no elders, four nations, and now they're
Speaker 1: in a in a in a crisis, you know, before war.
Speaker 1: How do you come up with an amicable solution at
Speaker 1: that point? And they couldn't because somebody got killed. Their
Speaker 1: solution was, hey, we just want justice for the person
Speaker 1: who killed Rick, which is, excuse me, who killed Tyrone,
Speaker 1: which is Rick's little brother who's not a ten. So
Speaker 1: they go to them and say, hey, man, we want
Speaker 1: the guy who killed Tyrone. That's justice. The problem is
Speaker 1: the a trads didn't really no dude, they didn't know
Speaker 1: where he was that you know, he could have been
Speaker 1: on the run at that point, you know he did
Speaker 1: something wrong. They didn't even know how to find him. See,
Speaker 1: gangbanging in his and his in his true stages is
Speaker 1: about knowing your homies, Mama, Like gang banging isn't the
Speaker 1: drive by gang banging is what makes you do the
Speaker 1: drive by the love you got for the person or
Speaker 1: the situation that hurts you. You know the fact that
Speaker 1: you put your ego and your reputation first because really
Speaker 1: that's all you have. So you got's your most prized possession,
Speaker 1: so you put that first and that becomes everything you
Speaker 1: protect that's what you build and everything, because you can't
Speaker 1: really build a portfolio. You don't have access to the
Speaker 1: opportunity unless you're intelligent to think your way out of
Speaker 1: this this bowl of poverty. First, most people don't have that.
Speaker 1: You know, people mom on drugs. It just crazy. So
Speaker 1: you know, it's not a ton of opportunities. You can't
Speaker 1: look and figure out how you could be a productive
Speaker 1: member of society. Why don't you guys go apply significant
Speaker 1: pressure to the long shordsman. Uh, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that got that, and that's really what should be happening.
Speaker 1: And the screen actors guild like peace stones for these schools,
Speaker 1: all those guys over there. You should be applying pressure
Speaker 1: to the to the sagging. But you know who do that?
Speaker 1: So sag is screen actors guilt. It's like the actors
Speaker 1: you so, But that's what the man's fields do. The
Speaker 1: mansfield make their presence felt in Hollywood. So most of
Speaker 1: the man's fields have relationship with a ton of people
Speaker 1: in the music industry, a ton of the actors because
Speaker 1: they close. So I give the matting new credit because
Speaker 1: that's what they do. Money, Like what's it called dodge
Speaker 1: everything from from probably you guys down to Dodge City
Speaker 1: should have their thumb on because if you look at it,
Speaker 1: like that's what the mafia does exactly, like like my
Speaker 1: god probably a great uncle or what everybody like, a
Speaker 1: mad guy in my family who wasn't the l a
Speaker 1: family who was that made God? Because that's I'll tell
Speaker 1: people all the time, I made God, And that's that's true.
Speaker 1: And I think part of the difference between what you
Speaker 1: talk about, because I'm laughing, starts not it's not improper um.
Speaker 1: They didn't live of down there, you know. They just
Speaker 1: existed down there. Like my grandpa when he had the
Speaker 1: Ready Miss company, got a contract to build god knows
Speaker 1: what down there, probably like some giant concrete platforms for
Speaker 1: offshoring imports and like that. And he's and he's a
Speaker 1: micro manager, and he goes down there and he's like,
Speaker 1: who the funk are these jackasses over here playing cards?
Speaker 1: I'm paying eighty dollars an hour or two. Oh, they're
Speaker 1: on the payroll. You can't ask about them, you know.
Speaker 1: And it's the same dude. This is probably five years
Speaker 1: after like some guys were shaking him down bringing pictures
Speaker 1: of my mom and my aunts to his office saying like, oh,
Speaker 1: you have some beautiful daughters to be ashamed. Something happened
Speaker 1: to him, you know, So like like the meeting in
Speaker 1: Appalachia that paid for all the air fare for that
Speaker 1: because Uncle Jack bailed out that situation. So the Appalachian
Speaker 1: meeting is the meeting of the mafia Bostons. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: back when l A had a mom family that was
Speaker 1: at least enough to get their foot into door. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But what they did when where they made their money
Speaker 1: was when there was longshore beef in the fifties with
Speaker 1: h in the nineteen fifties for for contracts when the
Speaker 1: report was was going from being a little thing to
Speaker 1: a big thing. Well, now all the guys who work
Speaker 1: at the longshore has been are off from neighborhoods like
Speaker 1: where you're from or where other guys near you were from.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying, I'm not advocating anybody does something,
Speaker 1: but backup, so right, So I'm gonna get to that
Speaker 1: because that's important, But listen to this. So right, they
Speaker 1: don't know how to come up with these They don't
Speaker 1: come up with amicable solutions, right, they can't get the
Speaker 1: person justice on them, and what happens is it becomes
Speaker 1: a bunch of people for protecting ego and reputation. So
Speaker 1: then the next thing happens somebody goes too far because
Speaker 1: they want to show or they are so emostly moved
Speaker 1: that they do something to somebody out of like a
Speaker 1: blind rage. And I think there's two other elements that
Speaker 1: you discussed a second ago, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: they slipped over the listeners heads because I'm not a listener,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what the hell is going on there,
Speaker 1: but one of which being the guy really wasn't from there,
Speaker 1: and the other which being a lot of young people involved.
Speaker 1: And that's the key with gangbanging in general, in his infants,
Speaker 1: in his infants, with with the made man concept, they
Speaker 1: know every goddamn last thing about you and your family
Speaker 1: where they can find any time, and people running the
Speaker 1: calling shots or or grown men. But but this is
Speaker 1: and that's what that's what's important, right, So what makes
Speaker 1: it this is the problem, And this is why I
Speaker 1: want to talk about gang banging, right is because real
Speaker 1: gang banging is about knowing each other's family. That's what
Speaker 1: gang banging is about. Like it's a confusion that gang
Speaker 1: banging has some negative tag well outside of the willingness
Speaker 1: to commit a crime, ormitting crimes to advance your agenda,
Speaker 1: because that's what all being a gang member a group
Speaker 1: of people willing to or that is, committing crimes to
Speaker 1: advance their agendas. So yes, in that theory, right, But
Speaker 1: the shooting is not the gang banging. Everybody shoots niggas
Speaker 1: was shooting before gang banging was a thing. People shoot
Speaker 1: because that's how they decide that they want to dismiss
Speaker 1: justice or whatever they're using it for to advance their
Speaker 1: own agendas, whatever it is, whether protection, whether it's whatever,
Speaker 1: don't even matter, enforced interests, whatever, just the enforced entrants,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So back to that stuff with the
Speaker 1: citson they trade. So right, this is how it happens,
Speaker 1: and next you know, somebody gets shot that I love
Speaker 1: over this, okay, so now we gotta do something. So
Speaker 1: now next thing you know, you have back and forth,
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, and what once was
Speaker 1: a solid bond amongst tribes turned into you know, one
Speaker 1: of the worst robberies in Los Angeles period. So the
Speaker 1: problem in that itself was that the nigga that was
Speaker 1: from a tree or that was claiming their trade that
Speaker 1: shot Tyrone. It's not a nigga that grew up in
Speaker 1: the culture of being an a tree, so he didn't
Speaker 1: know the bond that shared with the sixties. My boy
Speaker 1: Bassi was telling me a story. I'm gonna get back
Speaker 1: to that point after this, the point you were saying,
Speaker 1: um about how the how the mafia were doing towards
Speaker 1: for business interests was changed their fortunes. But my boy Bassie,
Speaker 1: one of my potnity from HollyHood, dope brother man, real smart,
Speaker 1: young nigga cold. Um. It has something to do with
Speaker 1: the little dude that got killed that was claiming families.
Speaker 1: You know that everybody keep mistaken. Was the guy that
Speaker 1: did something the nissey Mourrold. This wasn't the guy. Him
Speaker 1: and the guy that did on the Nizimural. They knew
Speaker 1: each other. They was from the same section of They
Speaker 1: were claiming the same area. Um at one time he
Speaker 1: had to be from HollyHood or he knew something about
Speaker 1: the Hollywood. I don't know the definitions. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get deep into it. But that's not the important part.
Speaker 1: The important part world see, was telling me a story
Speaker 1: where they had some dudes that they had bring to
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. Somebody brought them to the neighborhood, some of
Speaker 1: their homies, and they end up putting them on a neighborhood.
Speaker 1: But they didn't grow up in Holly, and Holly is
Speaker 1: a real HollyHood. Count Paru's a real tight knit community,
Speaker 1: like they are really family and friends. Like the hood,
Speaker 1: like my neighborhood is tough. You really grow up with
Speaker 1: each other. And they're small, so they have to stick together. Well,
Speaker 1: if you know their history, you know, the looters parts,
Speaker 1: the Hollyhoods and the excuse me in the lines are family.
Speaker 1: They're like one gang. Even though they're all separate entities
Speaker 1: to everybody outside there one game. They all grew up
Speaker 1: with your their families. They all feemly related. And if
Speaker 1: you grow up in the culture that is being a
Speaker 1: HollyHood nigga or being a loutis part niggle or being
Speaker 1: a uh lionhood nigga, you know that even niggas like me,
Speaker 1: I grew up. You know, Mom's house is ten minutes away,
Speaker 1: but I've been down there so much. I know the
Speaker 1: culture of being with them, how they get down They
Speaker 1: had guys that come over that God corded on their
Speaker 1: gang was representing their gang, but didn't grow up in
Speaker 1: the culture. So that the issue where they wanted to
Speaker 1: start a war over something with some of the dudes
Speaker 1: that they were click with that there are people because
Speaker 1: they don't have that same bond. I think it was
Speaker 1: the lines and they don't have that same bond. They
Speaker 1: don't have the same bond. They don't know. They're just
Speaker 1: claiming the streets on. They're just having a bandanna. And again,
Speaker 1: the point I keep making about this is because if
Speaker 1: you think being a part of the gang is being
Speaker 1: anti somebody, that you missed the fucking point because not
Speaker 1: being a gang member of gangmingers not being anti anyone.
Speaker 1: It's about being pro your friends. That's what make you
Speaker 1: do all the ship you do. It's being pro your
Speaker 1: partners will make you wish your life and throw your
Speaker 1: life away as your love you have for you know
Speaker 1: your partner. My boy Duwan just got married. I've been
Speaker 1: doing Duwan seven I'm sorry, I don't know the man.
Speaker 1: I've been doing Dwin for thirty years. So my boy,
Speaker 1: my boy works all. Don't listen he he bro my

Speaker 1: she passed away eleven years ago. She seen me. She said,
Speaker 1: I told him you was gonna be here. Feel me.
Speaker 1: Olivia told me he was gonna be here. Mhm, this
Speaker 1: is lad you knew, my mama. That's gangbanging. Gangbanging. Gang
Speaker 1: banging ain't the action, it's the reason behind the action. Anybody,
Speaker 1: any motherfucker to commit crime. Everybody commits crime. Why you
Speaker 1: commit crime is gangbanging. That's what it's about. It's that relationship.
Speaker 1: Real question, No, no, that's a real question. King's laughing
Speaker 1: at before you even get the question. No respect, Like Ronnie,
Speaker 1: you have to look at the video because he held
Speaker 1: up your finger. I held up finger one second. What
Speaker 1: was one question? Just one? Is there an element within
Speaker 1: the culture where like you might get a guy who
Speaker 1: feels like he needs to prove something in some capacity,
Speaker 1: everybody's different. Whatever where they have where, they want to
Speaker 1: take it upon themselves to perform an act to validate
Speaker 1: the degree to which they want to be either accepted
Speaker 1: or want to demonstrate that their desire to be there,
Speaker 1: Which brings me to this conversation. When you don't grow
Speaker 1: up within that culture, you don't grow up with these people,
Speaker 1: that's that type of nigga got you. That type of
Speaker 1: person is the person that's the worst. Like you're not
Speaker 1: from there, so you got a chip on your shoulder.
Speaker 1: So it's a nigga that's gonna put the hood. He's
Speaker 1: gonna blast the hood on his face big, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be so ready to shoot everything and go on every
Speaker 1: mission because there's no love there. That person who didn't
Speaker 1: grow up in the culture, who didn't grow up in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, the soil. Because the root of culture is
Speaker 1: the root of culture is not your skin. The root
Speaker 1: of culture is the land. That way of life you defend.
Speaker 1: My focus is to us, y'all focus is to them.
Speaker 1: That's a wrap. I wrapped that in the rap. The
Speaker 1: root of culture, it's not your skin. The root of
Speaker 1: culture is the land. So how we come up on
Speaker 1: the seven is because of the dirt that raised us.
Speaker 1: It's nothing to do with flags of bandanas. It's it's
Speaker 1: because of how we come up. So the worst type
Speaker 1: of person that you're talking about is that person who
Speaker 1: not really from around here. So they're putting it on
Speaker 1: extra to show they belong. But what happens is they're
Speaker 1: banging is brought up in hate because they don't have love.
Speaker 1: They don't know nobody. They don't know My little homie sons,
Speaker 1: Troy Washboy, I Washboy, his mama and his daddy, My
Speaker 1: big homie Moon, my big homegirl Toya. I held him
Speaker 1: at is a baby. He was a baby, held him.
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty something now, ain't none he could do.
Speaker 1: That's gonna make me that man. I love that little nigga.
Speaker 1: I'm funk wood. He talking about I held you as
Speaker 1: a baby nigger. I'll wipe your nose. I brought you
Speaker 1: off the ice cream trip. My little humboy baby Drake,
Speaker 1: my litt humboy baby, Ja Market his son. They called
Speaker 1: him Lizard Lizzie. I've been watching him since he was
Speaker 1: two or three. When she went to go do something,
Speaker 1: I washed him in the yard. That's what gang banging.
Speaker 1: That's the gang banging part. That's the part that where
Speaker 1: if you do something to baby Jay. I've been watching
Speaker 1: it since he was two or three. You don't think
Speaker 1: I feel to do something to your buddy, not to
Speaker 1: mention when you're in that fish bowl, fell me, that
Speaker 1: fish bowl of poverty that's in the center of where
Speaker 1: we're from. Feel me like, I ain't what am I
Speaker 1: protecting my life from? This is all I got? And
Speaker 1: New Jack City when Nino at the beginning of the movie,
Speaker 1: they theme with him the cash money brothers, were we
Speaker 1: all we got that? What they think we all we got?
Speaker 1: That was feem me. They loved each other. Then they know,
Speaker 1: got some money and you know, got some bitches, and
Speaker 1: you know, got this big business and you don't got
Speaker 1: all this ship popping. Well, guess what we ain't all
Speaker 1: we got no more? Now, Gee, money is expendable. Any
Speaker 1: love other ship, now, gee, money expendable. To your point,
Speaker 1: he let character in there, that's what money up because
Speaker 1: the family broke up. The family was broken up at
Speaker 1: that point. So so again right back to that point.
Speaker 1: I had that argument, back to your point earlier, Digress.
Speaker 1: I had that conversation with my o, g humpies, I say, man,
Speaker 1: I think we make a mistake because we try to
Speaker 1: turn everybody into infantry. That's a mistake. No military, because
Speaker 1: the gang is the military of a neighborhood. Don't make
Speaker 1: no mistakes. The military of America's a bunch of eminals
Speaker 1: going out to commit criminal acts and for the agenda
Speaker 1: of America because these are all criminal acts. To murder
Speaker 1: somebody as a criminal act, yeah, period. There ain't no
Speaker 1: feel me like self defense if they're if they're not
Speaker 1: advancing on you, if you're in a foreign land, I
Speaker 1: can't go murder you in your house. There's no legal
Speaker 1: case that gives me the right to murder you in
Speaker 1: your house. I can't murder you in my house if
Speaker 1: you're backs towards me and you got a gun of
Speaker 1: the kind of sucks. That's California, right, which is fucking
Speaker 1: That's the cold thing about this thing. We like. It
Speaker 1: still makes the game bangers the worst because literally, you
Speaker 1: gotta be a cowboy. Yeah so, but back to that point,
Speaker 1: so you know, to be in another So make no
Speaker 1: mistakes to military, no disrespect to all my people that
Speaker 1: served in the service. I respect what you do because
Speaker 1: I do the same thing, but don't try to look
Speaker 1: down at me like you ain't the same thing I am.
Speaker 1: We're just banging for different places. I'm banging for my family,
Speaker 1: like you banging for family economies of scale, seel me
Speaker 1: just scale, that's all scaled down. We're protecting our self
Speaker 1: interest like you're protecting your family self interest or my
Speaker 1: family self interest. I'm protecting minds at this smaller scale.
Speaker 1: So don't try to look at me like you better
Speaker 1: than me, cause we do the same ship. We both
Speaker 1: criminals to some degree. That's gonna get me in trouble.
Speaker 1: But so they say, you can't cancel a crip on
Speaker 1: this program. We should have named it. So you can't cancel,
Speaker 1: can't counsel the love, can't cancel the crip, you can't
Speaker 1: lose the love. And I'm just out there vulnerable and
Speaker 1: ship you already been cancel, So accept you back into
Speaker 1: you cancel. That's true identifies white now, So you ain't
Speaker 1: by yourself that everybody yourself. So moving forward. I told
Speaker 1: my O g hommies, I was like, yo, the mistake,
Speaker 1: because again, the gang is just the military of the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Everybody from the neighborhood, from the gang, They from the
Speaker 1: They from Seventh Street, they from a hundred seven street watch.
Speaker 1: They're just saying a part of the military. So my
Speaker 1: thing is, I told my o g hummies, I said, amen,
Speaker 1: I think one of the biggest mistakes that's being made
Speaker 1: in this is you keep trying to make everybody a
Speaker 1: part of the infantry. That's a mistake. Everybody is not
Speaker 1: an infantry. Everybody is not a soldier field soldier. Some
Speaker 1: people should be working. You know, the military got multiple components,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's just there's a there's
Speaker 1: a more intelligence. Yeah, So I'm serious. You just what
Speaker 1: do you do? Man? That's the statement I've made it
Speaker 1: this whole time, though you're masal statements. You made some
Speaker 1: ill statements, the one about how the mafia would handle
Speaker 1: their business, because I feel that way moving forward, But
Speaker 1: back to this, So, I was telling my older homes like,
Speaker 1: we should put some niggas in school to be police.
Speaker 1: We should make one homie an attorney because we commit crime.
Speaker 1: So we need a fucking attorney that none of us
Speaker 1: gotta pay. We need to make some homies the police
Speaker 1: and get him in this. Then niggas is looking at
Speaker 1: me as I'm running ship off like this nigga here
Speaker 1: is crazy. You watch god Father three and I never
Speaker 1: watched no Godfather. It's common sense to me. It's common sense.
Speaker 1: If you're trying to an advance an agenda, that's how
Speaker 1: I look. I know what it is. You're trying to
Speaker 1: an advance an agenda. You need people, and the clue
Speaker 1: klux plan is great at this ship. The make is
Speaker 1: great at this ship. If you're trying to advance an agenda,
Speaker 1: you need people in places that you can go and
Speaker 1: look for. Like consider like if you were to examine say,
Speaker 1: like dude, if you were doing a broad study of syndicates, right,
Speaker 1: you notice immediately like with various mafia international entities, and
Speaker 1: particularly like some of the broader are not broader like
Speaker 1: the bigger, like motorcycle gangs in the United States, it
Speaker 1: takes a very very long time to be able to
Speaker 1: be a part of it. You could be in affiliate
Speaker 1: and associate whatever else, but it's a very long process.
Speaker 1: Is longer than like getting a master's degree from nothing.
Speaker 1: And perhaps that might be something where he can say
Speaker 1: it's advantageous. Let's let's examine this guy for a few
Speaker 1: years and see how he handled That's another see you
Speaker 1: bringing up all the points I bring up to the homies.
Speaker 1: I hate the fact that a nigga could come over
Speaker 1: to the neighborhood and be down within two minutes of
Speaker 1: getting sucked up with your homies. Just literally want to
Speaker 1: fund somebody up. I mean, you don't even know this
Speaker 1: motherfucker to like him, to want him to be a ramp.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, like in the motorcycle game game community,
Speaker 1: like you, you have to be so not just the
Speaker 1: one per centers, but even all motorcycle games. You have
Speaker 1: to be a prospect for months. Let's look at the
Speaker 1: one exception to that rule. We need a bigger infantry,
Speaker 1: bigger aforgyper gentry. That would be the Mongols. Sure the
Speaker 1: Mongols know nothing about that collapsed of their own weight
Speaker 1: by polluting their ranks so badly with people that were
Speaker 1: not examined prior to interests. I don't I don't even
Speaker 1: know nothing about nothing. So talk about informants. I'm not
Speaker 1: even talking about informants, just the ranks of the Mongols
Speaker 1: that helped bring them down to I wasn't even the
Speaker 1: freeway all the damn time oh yeah out there. Ever,
Speaker 1: since that Vegas episode, it went in the other directions
Speaker 1: into Vegas episode, what the hell's angels and Mongols and
Speaker 1: all that, and they I don't have nothing that sounds
Speaker 1: like some gas our problems. And I think the biggest
Speaker 1: issue with Mongols, from what I understand at least from
Speaker 1: the cigar lounges where a bunch of guys who were
Speaker 1: in the law enforcement sides talk about it, it was
Speaker 1: Mongols inflated their ranks with a bunch of like North
Speaker 1: Side Avenues and other various people from a lot of
Speaker 1: different like what what what you might call like trickle
Speaker 1: down thirteen type of clicks throughout l A. So they
Speaker 1: got really big and really kind of disorganized the way
Speaker 1: they operated. And then they got so big they said,
Speaker 1: you know what, you guys are full of thirteens. So
Speaker 1: Serenio said, you guys are gonna have to be kind
Speaker 1: of pressure like what they did with eighteen Street, and
Speaker 1: they were like, na, you were a bike again, you
Speaker 1: can't press us. And now apparently from what I understand
Speaker 1: from a couple of guys who were guards the lounge
Speaker 1: was if you are a Mongol, you do not want
Speaker 1: to fucking get put inside because you are on month
Speaker 1: oh big time. They're like you are on borrowed time.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. They'd be a whole water of thing going on.
Speaker 1: You have no idea stuff, And that's and that's from guards.
Speaker 1: So guards tend to know kind of what's going on. Okay,
Speaker 1: So back to the points. I was telling my hommies
Speaker 1: all this ship about organized and putting it together and
Speaker 1: making it make sense and making it be purposeful. Nigga
Speaker 1: started was crushing chipping. I'm like, what makes sense to me?
Speaker 1: So what y'all think? So I just say that I
Speaker 1: just thought that, but I realized and we've had this conversation.
Speaker 1: I think it was based off of we had a
Speaker 1: conversation about what was it about oppressing oppressors? And we
Speaker 1: talked about I was telling you I grew up right
Speaker 1: Compton and watched my whole life down Alameda is all
Speaker 1: these factories. And I know they built these houses for
Speaker 1: the people that worked in those factories, because that's how
Speaker 1: you build you know, urban communities or towns, you build
Speaker 1: them around industries and businesses, especially something that was that old.
Speaker 1: The problem is nobody I know that lives in those
Speaker 1: communities work in those warehouses and those factories. And I said,
Speaker 1: I I thought to myself, like I always thought I
Speaker 1: should talk to Asian Brown, who was the mayor of Compton,
Speaker 1: like and I don't think this is something she could
Speaker 1: do because it probably is beyond the law. But really,
Speaker 1: as the gangs should go press like like big sag
Speaker 1: baby gangs, A couple of nigga that's from over there,
Speaker 1: that's small, different gangs. Towns, the spooke town catches, the
Speaker 1: all the gangs should come together and create a committee. Right,
Speaker 1: create a committee and then go to all of those
Speaker 1: warehouses and factories and say, hey, man, if sixty of
Speaker 1: the people that don't that work in these factories don't
Speaker 1: live in these communities, you won't have a factory. This
Speaker 1: should have magically get burnt down. God are sent down
Speaker 1: a lightning boat and burn this ship down, because that
Speaker 1: will do God will do. So that's to me, is
Speaker 1: a solution. And I agree that's where we don't use
Speaker 1: the power. I think gang banging is the biggest cultural
Speaker 1: opportunity we have, Like we could literally move everything again,
Speaker 1: Like I said, a gang is is areas or a
Speaker 1: neighborhoods or sections it's their military. Yeah, it's only used
Speaker 1: for war. Well, I mean like the Sicilian roots of
Speaker 1: the mafia are basically that it was effectively like rural
Speaker 1: share cropping type of type of economy on the island,
Speaker 1: and people were so poor they couldn't sustain themselves. And
Speaker 1: that was like the America was like basically because look,
Speaker 1: we're all on a fucking island. If anyone figures out who, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the that's the but they but they tried to
Speaker 1: get that too, like that's what we came up with.
Speaker 1: I keep telling them, wayn come up with ship? We
Speaker 1: just called it something different. We we took up, we
Speaker 1: took up all good, we took up we took up
Speaker 1: some of the ideas, not even on purpose. I think
Speaker 1: it was just natural. But I think, but I think
Speaker 1: bad people are history right culturally, it is so funked
Speaker 1: up at a certain place that it stops that very
Speaker 1: few people could trace back pre slave ships, pre stuff
Speaker 1: like that to get back to a good place of
Speaker 1: good history. Most people can't get pad want to understand
Speaker 1: from about Jamaican Frances, the barriers, the islands. Like Andrea
Speaker 1: I used to the the old podcast with He's like oh,
Speaker 1: I know my family and he wouldn't took uh meat tests.
Speaker 1: It was like down to the percent. I'm like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: when the paperwork disappeared from the islands to the mainland.
Speaker 1: So again, So history, right is your biggest friend? How
Speaker 1: much you study history? So all of these things, even
Speaker 1: in our community, is available. We just kind of tend
Speaker 1: to shy away from history. The best dude to do
Speaker 1: everything in our culture, our history, buzz. Dr Dre is
Speaker 1: one of the best motherfucker's you ever want to talk
Speaker 1: to about records. Dr dray no records from the fifties, fourties, thirties.
Speaker 1: Dr Dre two thousand one is a bunch of fucking
Speaker 1: uh classical ideas transformed into gangsterrep For me, the chronic
Speaker 1: is fucking funk like this one. Funk is the best
Speaker 1: with records. Puffy is great with records. These dudes are
Speaker 1: fantastic with records. Michael Jackson is a combination of multiple
Speaker 1: legends Dean for me, uh, false by false, by false,
Speaker 1: you know all of those guys, He's a combination. So
Speaker 1: the most powerful people, uh, nobody knows more about boxing
Speaker 1: and Tyson Fury, you know, like the best people that
Speaker 1: do anything. They know the game, they know the history
Speaker 1: of the game they're playing. So I think that's the
Speaker 1: thing that gangs tend to shy away from. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: gang banging don't take much discipline, so you you know,
Speaker 1: it's not you're not gonna get the best from school
Speaker 1: because school is all about discipline, right, So you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get the best of discipline people for the most part,
Speaker 1: because again, like I agree with you, it's the easiest
Speaker 1: thing to get info. You can beat up for a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes now and you win, m I mean.
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, it's like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of ego and pride involved in that, and there's
Speaker 1: a certain hubris to adopt the mentality that either a
Speaker 1: you're the first person to do something, because you probably aren't,
Speaker 1: or be you have the best idea of how to
Speaker 1: do something up until now that nobody ever had before,
Speaker 1: and your ideas are all better than the other ones
Speaker 1: that either succeeded or failed before you that was also
Speaker 1: probably doomed to fail more often than the smartest business
Speaker 1: of is convenient still, I mean, everybody wants things conveniently done.
Speaker 1: It's all about convence um Uber is a company that
Speaker 1: don't own cars at all and don't have employees truly,
Speaker 1: but they create a business of hooking people up that
Speaker 1: need to make money, that own cars with people to
Speaker 1: have money, they need to ride. And the Amazon textually
Speaker 1: does known stores exactly Amazon, Yeah, exactly, the grocery store stuff.
Speaker 1: They're trying. I think they're trying to but I don't
Speaker 1: even know that. I think they just want the central
Speaker 1: distribution centers the point. But it's smart though, because maybe
Speaker 1: that's just a better use of the space. Would if
Speaker 1: you would have would have jeffen them using the front
Speaker 1: of the store, just like you know what, we got
Speaker 1: the front of the store anyway, but we're still doing
Speaker 1: our thing like peace and centraled back anyway, but we
Speaker 1: got the front for sure. That's brilliant, so brilliant us
Speaker 1: to space. So again, I think I think the confusion
Speaker 1: with gang banging is what's going on, and what it
Speaker 1: is is it's a bunch of poor people who love
Speaker 1: each other because I saw they got so then they
Speaker 1: put pride and ego up front. Everybody in the gang
Speaker 1: just want to be something. The little dude that marked
Speaker 1: up nip mural you passed up seven sixties. You could
Speaker 1: have shot to go mark on that mirror. Mm hmmm,
Speaker 1: that's we will make our name back in the day.
Speaker 1: Rewind what he just said, because see that's very big. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because if you know that where families and sixties at right,
Speaker 1: they're close, but you're gonna pass a lot of sixties
Speaker 1: to get to that mirror, So you could have killed
Speaker 1: passed a lot of murals together. There's like this guy
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood, but that m is I need to
Speaker 1: get to that one. But that's where that's where they
Speaker 1: hang out every day too. And I know they take
Speaker 1: pride in this. So now if I put my name here,
Speaker 1: everybody knows me. But see true the thing that makes
Speaker 1: that weird to me, right because I'm not one of
Speaker 1: the advocates on Oh well, you know they're disrespected that
Speaker 1: they kill each other, the foundlers and sixties are they're
Speaker 1: really the worst enemies. They trade and SI's grow up together.
Speaker 1: So they still got passes, families and cisties. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be bare minimum passes. It's gonna be war. They're gonna
Speaker 1: kill each other on site. That's what they do. They
Speaker 1: do their stuff for real. But to me, if you
Speaker 1: rooted in it, that's what gives you the thing to
Speaker 1: where it ain't about being popular. That's a popular move.
Speaker 1: I want to be a popular game member. That's not
Speaker 1: I want to be a representative of families in and
Speaker 1: and and you know, uh, avenge all of my pain
Speaker 1: and anguish and my friends that have been murdered or
Speaker 1: my friends friends have been murdered about what happened. That's like,
Speaker 1: I want to be popular for being a family. Back
Speaker 1: in the day, you would be popular because you would
Speaker 1: be doing your stuff and you'd be popular amongst the
Speaker 1: community as a as a soldier from this area. That
Speaker 1: made him popular around the world. And again I prayed
Speaker 1: for the young boy because he's a he's young. He's
Speaker 1: a baby one years old. You don't know. And and
Speaker 1: it's worse today with kids because twenty one and Marvin
Speaker 1: gay Um day then the probably had gray hair already
Speaker 1: twenty one. Today is probably thirteen. They act like thirteen
Speaker 1: year old, you know what I'm saying. I watched a
Speaker 1: lot of these dudes and they're like they twenty one
Speaker 1: ain't really twenty one at all. I'm looking at pictures
Speaker 1: of all of them old singers at the niggas is
Speaker 1: already badened families. Yeah, Ni's had a jibe and working
Speaker 1: for ten year, ten years a tenured on that job team.
Speaker 1: Marty King, look, Martin King was barely four. I think
Speaker 1: something wet. King look crazy, looked like he was seven,
Speaker 1: said the age of adolescents. It's thirty two now. I
Speaker 1: believe it's a real thing now. So you might not
Speaker 1: move out of your house to you thirty two so
Speaker 1: again your mama's house, that's that. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: black people we never did it the same way because
Speaker 1: they had economics. They go to get your body is
Speaker 1: thirty two now, but it's old. So again, so when
Speaker 1: you start taking in with gangbanging is about you. What
Speaker 1: you're seeing is you're not always seeing gangbanging. You're seeing
Speaker 1: people reper like you're seeing m M. You're seeing ideas
Speaker 1: of it, like slight ideas like I'm telling you that
Speaker 1: dude who go too hard he not from over there.
Speaker 1: He like a lot of these dudes are missing. The
Speaker 1: love of it is another element of that aspect of
Speaker 1: how do you love a stranger? Like how do you
Speaker 1: what killed me? Is some dude that god? Like if
Speaker 1: you from somewhere you brought up with these people. What
Speaker 1: fuels you up to go? Like? What fuels me up
Speaker 1: to go shoot that niggas that I was shooting that.
Speaker 1: That's how much I loved Ducky or how much I
Speaker 1: love j I got one from Ulk right now. You
Speaker 1: know what that is. That's the male equivalent of the
Speaker 1: stripper with no dad.
