Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Gangster Chronicles. I'm big
Speaker 1: steal with my homeboys, just Reggie Right and James McDonald.
Speaker 1: Tonight we're gonna talk about having strong enemies is a blessing.
Speaker 1: Nipsey Hustle's final and really prophetic um tweet. What do
Speaker 1: you guys think about that? Man? That was deep? That
Speaker 1: was deep because you know, I'm under the model of
Speaker 1: the days and lately of I don't know who my
Speaker 1: enemies and who my friends are now, so you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep them all close in my mind. But
Speaker 1: that's a deep tweet, and we'll get into more of
Speaker 1: what he really meant by that, but he was throwing
Speaker 1: out I think it's a litttle message about along that line.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that, James? You know I
Speaker 1: watched everything, I watched the news and all that. It's
Speaker 1: it's envy, man. You know you got your homeboys envy,
Speaker 1: you know, hating on you. You you come up and
Speaker 1: you move out the hood, and then you come back
Speaker 1: to the hood. This is something every day. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You don't have to come out rapper.
Speaker 1: You can come out the hood from you know, your
Speaker 1: dealings in the hood and walk away and come back.
Speaker 1: And this is what you have now in the day
Speaker 1: you don't have. There's no respect and loyalty in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood no more. You know, it's no no teaching from
Speaker 1: the big homies. It's all youngsters doing what they want
Speaker 1: to do. And you know, I truly believe this is
Speaker 1: a sad thing because this young man was doing his thing.
Speaker 1: He had a lot of people that loved him and
Speaker 1: and you know, listening to him, I guarantee you a
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't understand. And I've seen all the
Speaker 1: funked up tweets where they were saying that he was
Speaker 1: hypocritical about the next day you want to do something
Speaker 1: with the police. He was dealing with the police, not
Speaker 1: to say I want you to help me and my
Speaker 1: big homies. He was trying to get with the police
Speaker 1: to help him with the kids, so the kids didn't
Speaker 1: grow up the way he grew up, so the kids
Speaker 1: didn't turn into the you know, the game banging ship.
Speaker 1: So he had a strong message message and people just
Speaker 1: don't understanding. You know, Gates Chronicle, we just had a
Speaker 1: special guest walk in the studio. Guy I follow a
Speaker 1: lot on Instagram and on and on on the YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Uh it's real, real famous. I'm putting him on the spot.
Speaker 1: He just walked in before a meeting and he just
Speaker 1: say what's up to the people, And I I saw
Speaker 1: he even put out a dedication to NIP thing, so
Speaker 1: I know he had a lot to say about the
Speaker 1: young man as well. So this bout score one another
Speaker 1: and he had a personal relationship with him. Yeah, welcome
Speaker 1: to Gates of Chronicles. Boys School. Great to chronicle when
Speaker 1: liv James and I'm Reggie right all right, so well
Speaker 1: yeah Boscoes, So well, you can tell us what you

Speaker 1: it ain't even like like blood crypt thing that shouldn't
Speaker 1: that shouldn't even be presented, Like that's not honestly, like
Speaker 1: that's the last thing on my mind. Like that dude
Speaker 1: was a prolific remember in the community, Like like people
Speaker 1: don't even understand, like like I connected with that dude
Speaker 1: on the whole another on the spiritual level, like like
Speaker 1: on the like him being a Leo and just his
Speaker 1: whole energy, his spiritual energy was just like crazy, like
Speaker 1: people that dude was a bright like I like, like
Speaker 1: I gotta think, I say, I like we of the enlightening.
Speaker 1: There's certain people you meet and they of the enlightening
Speaker 1: or they you know the Yeah, like he was one
Speaker 1: of them, Like I swear to god he got he
Speaker 1: had like a he just had this Like I like
Speaker 1: that you said he's a leo because I knew his
Speaker 1: birthday was August the fifteen. Mine always to feel some
Speaker 1: of okay, yeah I'm I'm July. Yeah, but yeah, but
Speaker 1: we I connected with him on that. I just I
Speaker 1: understood him, bro, And I felt this whole message and
Speaker 1: everything that he was putting out there already felt it
Speaker 1: and and it was just like like just seeing him
Speaker 1: go the way he went, like it's just like a
Speaker 1: fucked up thing, like you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: like just like and just the way niggers ran and
Speaker 1: left him like that, like it's like nobody even like
Speaker 1: nobody was even like courageous at all, And it was
Speaker 1: nobody courageous around him, like he just like I didn't
Speaker 1: say everybody ain't cut like that, but the way they
Speaker 1: the way that cat was fired at him, I mean,
Speaker 1: didn't nobody getting hit like two, that's serious. His target,
Speaker 1: He went after his target, and everybody else got out
Speaker 1: of scared. Everybody scattered, Like I mean, you know, I
Speaker 1: can't like I don't want to like put it on
Speaker 1: nobody's shoulders because at the same time, like I hadn't
Speaker 1: been in plenty of shooting house and situations, and you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Everybody when it's when you know,
Speaker 1: when when it's going down, everybody, you're going to survival mode,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, You're going to survival mode.
Speaker 1: Everybody had to go into courageous mode, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So it's like I can't be mad at
Speaker 1: niggas at the same time, but I just feel like
Speaker 1: nigga's like could have did more. You could have did
Speaker 1: more to samely life, Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you looked at the video, this cat
Speaker 1: shot walked away, shot walked away, seeing him moving again,
Speaker 1: and then a head shot this and then now I
Speaker 1: was telling Rich earlier. For somebody to do that, man,
Speaker 1: this cat had to been really mad at something. This
Speaker 1: dude was ticked off. These these as homies, they're from
Speaker 1: the same hood. They're doing I mean, they're doing they
Speaker 1: think so whatever their conversation was, I mean, that had
Speaker 1: to be really on some some some vs for him
Speaker 1: to even think like, Okay, I'm killer nigger. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because this is somebody used to hang
Speaker 1: around with. You know, I don't play the devil advocate
Speaker 1: on that. And you know, from the law enforcement side, Um,
Speaker 1: what what I really feel though, is the disrespect that
Speaker 1: came in from what I'm here, none of these here,
Speaker 1: but it seemed like they were trying to say, like
Speaker 1: like Nipsey at disrespected the brother about calling him a
Speaker 1: snitch and putting him out there like that, and he
Speaker 1: hadn't act like that towards him before, which is not true. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, so let's just clear it up.
Speaker 1: I know y'all know more, and this is just what
Speaker 1: we can know. What I mean, we don't know like
Speaker 1: if you but from a game ban perspective, if the
Speaker 1: video before jail and now you acting this way. I
Speaker 1: tell everybody in the streets, man, the big homies they
Speaker 1: raised their little homies and they raised them. You you
Speaker 1: you gangsters, you out there thugging. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But this to watch that video, this little cat was
Speaker 1: was with the business. This ain't his first rodeo, okay,
Speaker 1: so he was. And everybody got to understand that, man,
Speaker 1: today you can't just beat up one of just no thug. Nick.
Speaker 1: We learned that in death row you ain't just been
Speaker 1: to beat up on no nigger, that that like this
Speaker 1: ain't happening to me, and don't respect, don't expect repercussion.
Speaker 1: So today and that that ain't the time no more.
Speaker 1: But that dude in jail down and I say, let's
Speaker 1: we should just think about Nipsey. This This was a
Speaker 1: cool little dude. And to be thirty three years old
Speaker 1: and be out there like he was and helping the
Speaker 1: people that he was helping, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They said, when his partners just got out of jail,
Speaker 1: he had clothes and was trying to get his boy
Speaker 1: and do his thing. Now, we got a lot of
Speaker 1: home was in in every neighborhood that look out for
Speaker 1: the homies when they get out of jail. I mean,
Speaker 1: but he was just doing so much then, you know,
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, these people criticizing his brother for
Speaker 1: having a meeting with the police, Wait a minute, man,
Speaker 1: how many of us are courageous enough to do that,
Speaker 1: to to to to email the chief of police and
Speaker 1: say we need to have a meeting about the violence
Speaker 1: in our hood. You know what I'm saying, But a
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't understanding. He knew he can't save
Speaker 1: the big homies. He knew he can't save the ones
Speaker 1: that's out there. But you know, doing the park and
Speaker 1: all of this, the men always talk about the kids,
Speaker 1: and that's just give back. It's not about the homies
Speaker 1: and reaching the homies. Like that's the thing, like, like
Speaker 1: grown people is grown people, like as a as a
Speaker 1: person with a platform and somebody that that has a voice,
Speaker 1: like it saw our job to reach and speak to
Speaker 1: the youth, Like if I can help an adult, if
Speaker 1: I can help a grown person, then I'm on forward.
Speaker 1: But my focus and my goal is to reach the
Speaker 1: youth like you people already lived your life and being
Speaker 1: responsible for it, Like I'm trying to be the voice
Speaker 1: to talk down to the youth and help them. That's
Speaker 1: one way to get it to stop. If you stop
Speaker 1: the youngsters, nephews and your little cousins, then you stop
Speaker 1: everything else. And the thing is to start at home.
Speaker 1: A lot of this ship start at home. A lot
Speaker 1: of this ship is the the upbringing and the mentality,
Speaker 1: uh you know what I mean these niggas, and it
Speaker 1: starts at home, like like a lot of this ship
Speaker 1: if a nigger woke up to you woke up and
Speaker 1: your mama was cussing and fussing, and get your stupid
Speaker 1: ass up and get your ass out of my house
Speaker 1: and clean up my funt. Like that ship has a
Speaker 1: mental It takes a mental toll on the young. Know,
Speaker 1: you go to school man, like you feel you go
Speaker 1: to school man and end up bullying and slapping on
Speaker 1: the nigga because you're getting bullied. Like it starts at home,
Speaker 1: like motherfuckers need to like get these homes settings. And
Speaker 1: that's clear this that we're not maybe even because we
Speaker 1: wasn't there and so we don't know all the facts
Speaker 1: because we didn't heard some some things and then some
Speaker 1: things out there where he's saying that they came and
Speaker 1: gave he gave them pound, you know, like doubt and
Speaker 1: said what's up? Left said he was going to get
Speaker 1: a burger and came back shooting, and so so so
Speaker 1: much stuff out there, and so we don't want to
Speaker 1: get stuck or or saying like we're saying this is
Speaker 1: how it happened, because that's not what we're saying. We
Speaker 1: just yeah, we're just putting out street politics and how
Speaker 1: things go on from Bosco. But who's there and James who?
Speaker 1: The only thing we're saying is that's what happens in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood on that side of the fence, and these
Speaker 1: are the things that that was happening with with Nipsey
Speaker 1: at the time, his whole business, his whole focus was kids.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, no, keep on and
Speaker 1: this was his his thing of what he was doing. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a you have a lot of people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have a lot of people out there just on
Speaker 1: some some some straight one hunting and some other ship.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. We're just mainly speaking on
Speaker 1: generalization of situations like that, and we're not trying to
Speaker 1: say this this case is specific. Um you know how
Speaker 1: they went down? Yeah, because I'm sure there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some other things that come out in the upcoming days.
Speaker 1: I'm truly saying the man had a brilliant plan and
Speaker 1: for people to say that he was contradicting himself because
Speaker 1: he was calling, you know, having this meeting with the
Speaker 1: chief of police to save his use. That he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's contradicting itself. And that's young minds in my mind
Speaker 1: because that that that young man, because I don't think
Speaker 1: things when people say, why are you never moved out?
Speaker 1: People don't know that man moved out, took his family
Speaker 1: and he was living in Atlanta. You know, he was
Speaker 1: living out in Atlanta. He had a nice little spot
Speaker 1: in Mallibo at one time, and then he got a
Speaker 1: nice little living in some high rising apartments. I heard
Speaker 1: a lady that be with Stephen A smilth and there
Speaker 1: on the day he said they lived in the same
Speaker 1: building when he's in Los Angeles. So the man moved out,
Speaker 1: but you know, got out of the hood, which he
Speaker 1: was supposed to, and that's the way, you know, he's
Speaker 1: making his money. But he was still coming back to
Speaker 1: help and doing what he's supposed to do. And that
Speaker 1: that that's everybody to bunds when you come back to
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. He could have just bounced. But either way,
Speaker 1: if he had left the neighborhood and never came back
Speaker 1: when he wrote for that and then he come back
Speaker 1: and then he owned that whole shopping center, moved to
Speaker 1: whoop on you and if I if I don't hear one,
Speaker 1: that one gonna get drunk, get the next one or
Speaker 1: the homie you heat him flip And they came in
Speaker 1: front the hood no more. That's the way shit happens.
Speaker 1: That's the neighborhood. That's the neighborhood, you know. And like
Speaker 1: you said, man, keep your enemies coached. You gotta pay
Speaker 1: attention to who you're working with. But we don't know,
Speaker 1: we don't know. That's that's the thing. You know. The
Speaker 1: thing is, man, we as the black race. Man, we
Speaker 1: almost have um a sociopathic issue, man um, you know,
Speaker 1: a homicidal issue, man, Because the thing is, like Boskett
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, we experienced all this pain in our
Speaker 1: household and we go out and transfer that pain to
Speaker 1: somebody else. All it is right now is a big
Speaker 1: transference to pain. Transference to pain. Because this situation is
Speaker 1: very sad. It's sad for Nipsey, it's sad for the
Speaker 1: brother that's going to jail because now his parents. So
Speaker 1: you got a cycle of people. When you go out
Speaker 1: and gun somebody down, you ain't just doing something of
Speaker 1: that person. You're doing something of that man's mama, his
Speaker 1: daddy is auntie, his grandmaster. You got a genuination the pain,
Speaker 1: and ain't no telling what look, kid, that's the Nipsey's life.
Speaker 1: Gonna feel that pain and that impact and go out
Speaker 1: and transfer that pain somebody else. So it's just like
Speaker 1: a vicious cycle. Yeah, and James can speaking as better
Speaker 1: than anybody because he experienced this first time. His brother
Speaker 1: was was killed by somebody that grew up with all
Speaker 1: of us, and that you know, that man titled this
Speaker 1: show uh sleeping showering just just just just there in
Speaker 1: the shag which we we all hung out, I mean,
Speaker 1: but just I mean that is this right here can
Speaker 1: handle to anybody, This can happen to anybody being in
Speaker 1: the hood. Every every last one of us are subject
Speaker 1: to this right here. And and I can go way back.
Speaker 1: I can go back to early eighties when cats first
Speaker 1: start came out with the crack and motherfucker's making money.
Speaker 1: And oh man, that they can making money, ain't sun
Speaker 1: with us no more. Let's giddy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Don't have to be like that, but it is like that.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you got a lot of cats out
Speaker 1: of here. Just don't give a fuck. It is what
Speaker 1: it is. Some say it is what it is. You
Speaker 1: got a lot that's that's doing this right now, trying
Speaker 1: to make a change. But it it outweighs itself, because
Speaker 1: if you had everybody on the same page, we will
Speaker 1: be good, you know what I'm saying. And it's man,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's so, it's so much and and it
Speaker 1: it really don't take much to get rid of this situation.
Speaker 1: You just gotta have some strong heads and bold you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Well, that's why it takes guys
Speaker 1: like you and Bosco who's older than been out there.
Speaker 1: And I love with both of your energy because you
Speaker 1: can find both for your own YouTube. And that's all
Speaker 1: you've been talking of lately. It's positive things, mainly about
Speaker 1: the kids and trying to educate the young kids. Because
Speaker 1: the most dangerous person you know in America, they used
Speaker 1: to tell us when I was in law enforcement and
Speaker 1: all of that, was a black man between the age
Speaker 1: of sixteen and twenty five, because he has nothing to lose.
Speaker 1: He didn't have anything. But now and y'all know how
Speaker 1: y'all were back and been doing that age bracket. But
Speaker 1: look at y'all now you're all on positive. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have made it out and y'all can
Speaker 1: do it. And speaking like that because y'all now you
Speaker 1: know it's all on that positive. And what we mainly
Speaker 1: here for is to try to tell the young kids
Speaker 1: and the young dudes is best weekend by your experience,
Speaker 1: that this is the way the way to go. Man,
Speaker 1: I like and this is just straight basically on Nipsey.
Speaker 1: I'm fifty four years old. Man. I didn't seen it. Oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't seen it happen. I didn't seen the best
Speaker 1: get turned into nothing. I didn't see brothers reputations go
Speaker 1: from good to bad in thirty minutes just because the
Speaker 1: motherfucker hate you, you know what I'm saying, Just because
Speaker 1: he's trying to prove a point in the next cat
Speaker 1: and you defamed in one day, five minutes. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Back in the days when they said paperwork,
Speaker 1: you had to have that right then and there to
Speaker 1: execute to get rid of a person. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you don't have. You don't need that no more.
Speaker 1: You don't need that no more, or you need this conversation.
Speaker 1: And and once you lost the loyalty in the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: you don't have no more loyalty. You might have four
Speaker 1: five morefucker's that funk with each other. Your hood is
Speaker 1: a hunted strong, but you only funk with five. That
Speaker 1: ain't good. You gotta have a whole hood. Back in
Speaker 1: the days when I was doing it, we walked fifteen
Speaker 1: deep through the hood. You know what I'm saying. Now,
Speaker 1: you don't get that no more. You don't get that
Speaker 1: no more. So the only way these kids to get it,
Speaker 1: And I say the way and if she was doing
Speaker 1: it was one hunter because now that I'm involving the
Speaker 1: police on that, so whatever they got trainings and whatever
Speaker 1: to keep the kids away or stop them from thinking,
Speaker 1: speeches or whatever. Man, you gotta plaut that dude, because
Speaker 1: Lacy tried. He only thirty three. He ain't seen that much.
Speaker 1: He ain't seen that much, but he's smart enough to
Speaker 1: know it. Just man, this ship ain't worth it. If
Speaker 1: I can change, and he's said this, if I can change,
Speaker 1: everybody else can change. I'll be a damned food and
Speaker 1: not think I'm not gonna get killed out of here,
Speaker 1: or one day that's gonna happen to me, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So man, he just he just flipped
Speaker 1: all of that bad energy he had and and and
Speaker 1: when he said, man, I'm gonna do this, and everybody
Speaker 1: got to respect the fact that he's doing that. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like this fucking idiot that got
Speaker 1: on Facebook, y'all didn't see that and said, oh I whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa stupid ship. You know what I'm saying, Whoever
Speaker 1: that dude is, somebody should broke his fucking neck. Some
Speaker 1: guy got on Facebook saying that he did it. He
Speaker 1: did it. I just left him over there. Who woo
Speaker 1: woo this And whoever sat there and talked to that
Speaker 1: guy should do something CHOI. And the reason why I
Speaker 1: say that, the biggest problem that that we all have
Speaker 1: is black men being in the hood or whatever be
Speaker 1: in the hood, never knew each other, never seen each other.
Speaker 1: I introduced my shof to everybody's had a black man,
Speaker 1: How you doing black man? Now? All that other ship,
Speaker 1: But our biggest problem is talking about each other, hating
Speaker 1: what the next motherfucker got. Man, you can get a
Speaker 1: job get out there and get your own ship. If
Speaker 1: you don't get it, don't get it, well, let me
Speaker 1: just stop being the only one to talk because I'm
Speaker 1: about to start. But you know what, do you got
Speaker 1: a point in all this needs to be talked about it.
Speaker 1: It's like the biggest problem we get in our communities too,
Speaker 1: is that there's this big we're breathing our kids to
Speaker 1: hate authority. We're breathing our kids not to like the police,
Speaker 1: We're breathing our kids not to do them. And you
Speaker 1: know the thing, it was like this one thing I noticed, Reggy,
Speaker 1: you was a police officer, and one thing I noticed
Speaker 1: is that everybody knew your pops. That's how it should
Speaker 1: be with the police. It shouldn't be a thing when
Speaker 1: the police rolled around the corner, the kids are scared.
Speaker 1: They should know who the police officers. They should have
Speaker 1: it really to where kids, if you was born in
Speaker 1: Common and raised and that's where you should be patrolling that,
Speaker 1: then people they should be trying to get it should
Speaker 1: be people policing their own community. And they try to
Speaker 1: push that and and and in fairness to Reggie sr
Speaker 1: he uh had you know, because he was born and
Speaker 1: raised in the Imperial Court housing projects and Watts and
Speaker 1: so he always knew that he was before what they
Speaker 1: called community policing UH in the city of Compton, where
Speaker 1: he was the type of officer that goes around and
Speaker 1: will meet meet people and know what I'm talking to him? Believe,
Speaker 1: why you gotta treat the people like that? Even me
Speaker 1: when I was a young and dunk cop. He used
Speaker 1: to be like, why are you being like that? These
Speaker 1: are people you went to school with, These are people
Speaker 1: who you grew up with. Why are you being like that?
Speaker 1: You didn't learn this ship from me? Why are you
Speaker 1: like that? You know, these people don't want to be
Speaker 1: doing this. They didn't want to. She didn't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, be in this situation, and they didn't. They
Speaker 1: just was dealt that hand. Reggie Right was so solid
Speaker 1: on the streets. He didn't just deal with the bloods.
Speaker 1: He dealt with everybody. Reggie Right used to get out
Speaker 1: of his car and and and just shoot the ship
Speaker 1: with us with everybody. Motherfucker's had pistols on him. When
Speaker 1: Reggie didn't know but had pistols on him talking to him,
Speaker 1: you know, he just get out the car. Man. What
Speaker 1: you do today? What you do him and Mr Ford
Speaker 1: Lead forward father, they were they were just positive. But
Speaker 1: we did our own thing right at the Reggie lead
Speaker 1: We were all doing our thing. But Reggie right Man
Speaker 1: talked to everybody. He was like, he just kept in
Speaker 1: one hunting if he Reggie right was the only one
Speaker 1: I would turn myself into. And in fairness, they didn't
Speaker 1: know that. They didn't learn this until after the riots
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Police departments didn't get into the
Speaker 1: community policing and all of that until later and and
Speaker 1: and they were just like kick ass and take names.
Speaker 1: Prior to that. Prior to they've seen wait a minute,
Speaker 1: you're ask gonna go to jail after the Rodney King
Speaker 1: Uh incident happened, And they've seen how the prosecutors and
Speaker 1: and all of that was against them. For the first time.
Speaker 1: On the other they were on the other side of
Speaker 1: the table, and they were like, wait, what did I
Speaker 1: do wrong? Because this is all that they knew until
Speaker 1: they showed that to everybody, that was the best thing
Speaker 1: for to be for law enforcement forth to Ben on TV,
Speaker 1: so other cops consider, hey, this ain't cool, this is
Speaker 1: not acceptable, This is not what the community wants. And
Speaker 1: if you do this you're ask gonna go to jail.
Speaker 1: I got a question for you, being in the streets,
Speaker 1: being in the police car. You bring all these white
Speaker 1: cops to to Compton. They don't know nothing about us.
Speaker 1: The first time they when they get out of the car,
Speaker 1: they got their hand on the gun because they're scared.
Speaker 1: They're scared. They feel like they're gonna get killed. They
Speaker 1: feel like they in Vietnam. Did you feel like that
Speaker 1: when you was when when you came through the hood,
Speaker 1: and you know, they that's how they get down. So
Speaker 1: we ain't gonna trust them. Just putting our hands up
Speaker 1: in this and that and and you put your hands up,
Speaker 1: you gotta stick to your ass so the back of
Speaker 1: your head, that type of ship. That's what Reggie Wright
Speaker 1: didn't do. But the rest of them, they come through,
Speaker 1: You couldn't have a good report, wouldn't because they were
Speaker 1: they they mine has already made up when they hit
Speaker 1: the Kona. Yeah, and you know, unfortunately that was how
Speaker 1: he was trained to be honest. I remember riding in
Speaker 1: the police car, uh righting the p with a guy
Speaker 1: and he knew my history. He knew because I had
Speaker 1: worked with Jim since I was nineteen years of age.
Speaker 1: I was one of those fortsnes that cover a cop
Speaker 1: earlier when I was twenty three. I thought I graduated
Speaker 1: from college, but um. He he rolled around and he
Speaker 1: was in the car with me, like a well two
Speaker 1: or three months on the job, and he said, I
Speaker 1: wish they would drop a bomb on this city and
Speaker 1: kill all the motherfucker's in there. And I looked at him,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you talking about. You know,
Speaker 1: it's five thousand, maybe four thousand bad motherfucker's in the city,
Speaker 1: and it's a hundred thousand people in the city. For
Speaker 1: my grandparents, both my grandmothers lived in competent at that time,
Speaker 1: my grandparents, and so you want them to drop a
Speaker 1: bomb on my grandparents? I said, take me back to
Speaker 1: the station. I'm not ruding with your ask. And you know,
Speaker 1: unfortunately I had the ability to do that because you know,
Speaker 1: my father was high up in the ranks, and and
Speaker 1: they're most people didn't have the ability or the smarts
Speaker 1: to say, wait a minute, what you're saying and some bullshit,
Speaker 1: you know, because they couldn't call him on that because
Speaker 1: they didn't know any better. My point to that is
Speaker 1: that's how you would train this is how the mother's
Speaker 1: was training you back then, and so that's why a
Speaker 1: lot of the situations happened. So just a whoop ass
Speaker 1: and just take names kind of mental me prior to
Speaker 1: the Runney Kings stuff. Now, and you know, the cops
Speaker 1: down there falling for this from the cameras because who
Speaker 1: experienced with everybody with the camera stuff. But you noticed
Speaker 1: there haven't been a minion incidents happening with the cops
Speaker 1: and the camera stuff. So they learning because the one
Speaker 1: thing is happening, you know, and a lot of them
Speaker 1: is getting found not guilty, but the prosecutors are putting
Speaker 1: him confident jail and when they get car conslucing their jobs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what. And that's the thing. One thing, you know,
Speaker 1: speaking to camera phones. I'm so sick of motherfucker's with
Speaker 1: something happening. You see a bunch of motherfucker's with their
Speaker 1: phones out feeling some ship. Like I saw the black
Speaker 1: lady get kicked, the old black lady get kicked in
Speaker 1: the face, and motherfucker's over there just just just feeling
Speaker 1: and ship. It's like that's the best way, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the only way that they're don't believe that it happened.
Speaker 1: But but but what but what they in jail if
Speaker 1: they didn't have that video camera. No, it's a black
Speaker 1: dude with the SA's a black dude with wiping over
Speaker 1: there and jump on the corn. No, it's not accomplished.
Speaker 1: This is a regular nigger, a regular dude, and the
Speaker 1: bus Just don't kick the old lady in the face.
Speaker 1: Seting to your woman. It would have been out of
Speaker 1: passing my feet so far that motherfucker's asked that it
Speaker 1: would have been there. Yeah, I gotta take action. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta take action. You see, I'm one of those
Speaker 1: that believe. And then that's probably because of my love.
Speaker 1: You know, law enforcement experience is something that somebody to
Speaker 1: sent me on Facebook as we was walking in the
Speaker 1: air where uh, you can't really I tell people to
Speaker 1: go ahead and comply while you're on the streets, fake
Speaker 1: tape as much as you can, and you always be
Speaker 1: going and complain because one thing about the departments. Now,
Speaker 1: if you get one complaint, ain't nothing gonna happen. Two complaints,
Speaker 1: they're gonna start looking at you wise raise eyebrow. But
Speaker 1: you get three complaints of the same type of complaint,
Speaker 1: trust me, law enforcement. They're gonna start dealing with the
Speaker 1: guys and they're gonna start reassigning them. So we gotta
Speaker 1: learn to this. Go and complain when this bad things
Speaker 1: happened to you, because if it happened to you, you
Speaker 1: you you you you smoke. Trust me, the departments are
Speaker 1: taking care of guys. Is doing this, never me, you
Speaker 1: say this. You already know you're in a no win
Speaker 1: situation when you come up against three police officers and
Speaker 1: you're standing there. Um, but I got home next to
Speaker 1: me and they start whooping my ass. My homies ain't helping.
Speaker 1: They got the phone. Why the fund you doing this?
Speaker 1: Whoo woo woo. No, you already know you cannot buck
Speaker 1: the system. They got the pencil, they're writing down what
Speaker 1: they want to write down, what charges they want. All
Speaker 1: you got to do is sit then just okay whatever whatever. Woo.
Speaker 1: Half of the ship ain't even necessary because you already
Speaker 1: know that what they want to do to you. So
Speaker 1: we gotta understand that first. So what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: we gotta be more smarter than what we are. We
Speaker 1: bite it into their bullshit when they get the saying
Speaker 1: stupid ship and we've been doing it for a long time.
Speaker 1: We've been doing it for a long time. As soon
Speaker 1: as you try to have a or get together or
Speaker 1: sit down or whatever, they fucked that off. If we
Speaker 1: did that, we ain't. They ain't no good no more.
Speaker 1: They start losing their job. They are. And all I
Speaker 1: can say on that, and I'll land it there is this,
Speaker 1: just choose your battles, because let's choose your battles because um,
Speaker 1: trust me, Um, they they are oversights. That's over out
Speaker 1: there now. That will deal with you after a few complaints.
Speaker 1: Because you're lose, man, I'm telling you lose. You lose
Speaker 1: that fight if you're gonna start taking on cops and
Speaker 1: having big fights for cops. But that's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't never encourage nobody to go out there if
Speaker 1: they see something, you know, the homeboy getting jacked up
Speaker 1: by the police, so you know, arrested, do not going
Speaker 1: gage No police officers, don't don't engage you. That's about
Speaker 1: what I was saying. Don't engage your police officer. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. You know, don't do that. That would
Speaker 1: be very young wise. You get killed, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, you get killed. You know the best thing
Speaker 1: you can do that. In the instance with a police officer,
Speaker 1: the best thing you can do is have your phone
Speaker 1: up and record them. But you know, and record them
Speaker 1: because they can't stop you from doing that and that
Speaker 1: and that's all my point is to it. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: because I think we got on this phone or saying,
Speaker 1: you know, intervene and do this and do that. I
Speaker 1: don't want people to do that because that bring on
Speaker 1: other problems, trust me. Yeah, So you know with this
Speaker 1: whole thing right now, like because the thing about it,
Speaker 1: these kids today, they idolized the hood heroes. They idolize them.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I see a lot of brothers
Speaker 1: trying to do stuff. And that's why it was important
Speaker 1: for somebody like Nipsey to be the one doing it
Speaker 1: because he was from the community. He was a reputable
Speaker 1: guy from the community. So when the kids saw him saying, look,
Speaker 1: it ain't cool to do this, it's cool, versus some
Speaker 1: square dude in the suit come and tell them, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: don't don't be don't be good, be nice. They're not
Speaker 1: gonna pay him no attention. He not cool. But if
Speaker 1: they see somebody like James come back to the neighborhood
Speaker 1: and talk to the kids. They gonna listen to him
Speaker 1: because their fathers respect him, their uncle's respect him, their
Speaker 1: big brothers don't heard of him before. They gonna listen
Speaker 1: to him. It's just like black history money, but they
Speaker 1: ain't teaching you about black history. Uh. A white guy
Speaker 1: can't come in there and say with the auditorium full
Speaker 1: of black kids to say I want you all to
Speaker 1: be like is I want you all to do this?
Speaker 1: This is what I'm trying to do. They don't understand
Speaker 1: that that's not that's not where it goes. And just
Speaker 1: like how you were saying it, you got a thirty
Speaker 1: three year old young man out here trying to push that,
Speaker 1: pushing it. I think he should have had more solid
Speaker 1: black brothers on his team with it, you know that.
Speaker 1: But that probably was later. I mean, who knows what
Speaker 1: happened in three years from now where he would have
Speaker 1: had this. But everybody would have started jumping on the
Speaker 1: bandwagon on this and and just listening to all the
Speaker 1: other people talk. I think everybody would have been on it.
Speaker 1: But one thing, everybody got to understand. You had never
Speaker 1: stopped the game banging ship because just say, for instance,
Speaker 1: all the sixties, just say bam, all the blood, say
Speaker 1: we're done. You still got the Mexicans, You still got
Speaker 1: these other people over here that that don't think the
Speaker 1: way we think, or I don't think in peace. And
Speaker 1: you you you right back into it like that ship
Speaker 1: wouldn't gonna last. As I say, this ship wouldn't gonna last.
Speaker 1: And man, too much happened over here and too much
Speaker 1: memories over here. So you gotta get with the kids.
Speaker 1: And he and he knew that, he knew he couldn't
Speaker 1: start from the time you talking about the truth, when
Speaker 1: you're talking about ninety two guys. Yeah, so he knew
Speaker 1: he couldn't start at the top. And that's where the
Speaker 1: guy was brilliant at he's working with the kids. If
Speaker 1: you can get the kids and get them not to
Speaker 1: commit to what we were or what we're doing, then
Speaker 1: it just it stops there at what you got in
Speaker 1: the hood. And that's how you kill it. That's how
Speaker 1: you that's how you stop. And for those of you
Speaker 1: all to say no, that's what Nancy Reagan was trying
Speaker 1: to do with just they no, not knowing that her
Speaker 1: husband was the biggest drug deal learned in America. At
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, that whole another story. Homeboy, Rick Ross
Speaker 1: coming here and talk about that something, you know, And
Speaker 1: that's the thing right there, And I think you know
Speaker 1: and I know that's the main purpose of this show
Speaker 1: is because like James said, we would never get rid
Speaker 1: of gang banging. But if we can go save the
Speaker 1: kids and go talk to them and get them another direction,
Speaker 1: then eventually the gang banging wheel go away. It may
Speaker 1: not happen in our lifetime, it may not happen in
Speaker 1: their lifetime, but it's gonna happen eventually. It's gonna get
Speaker 1: water down because you can't see right now, it's kind
Speaker 1: of getting more and more water down right now. It is,
Speaker 1: it's getting more and more water down because each generation
Speaker 1: it's changing a little bit more kids like now, like
Speaker 1: you know, you would see the little Tini's out there
Speaker 1: and they got a cousin over here, there's a blood
Speaker 1: they got family members that, this and that. So they're
Speaker 1: not about to go bang on their own. You know,
Speaker 1: they're not go about to go fight their own family,
Speaker 1: you feel what I mean. So you got different. It's
Speaker 1: just stuff is different. Now. Came out to California and
Speaker 1: eight when I came out here in eight it was
Speaker 1: in full swim. You couldn't even walk down the street.
Speaker 1: I came out here in the rid o'house state swast.
Speaker 1: Certain man and some some moment man ran up for
Speaker 1: me to the boat man. Here, where are you from?
Speaker 1: I said? And I said, Ohio, where are you from?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm thinking? You know that green I
Speaker 1: wasn't no punked on from the east side of Cleveland.
Speaker 1: He walked up with me, where are you from? Cleveland?
Speaker 1: Where you from? You know, Detroit somewhere. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I ain't. I don't know. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That's how I go, you know, and be honest,
Speaker 1: if if you just check everybody, just just the big
Speaker 1: armies in each hood and and and stop your nephews,
Speaker 1: your little cousins and all of them from want to
Speaker 1: be a part of what you is because they idolizing you.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, They idolizing their pops. You
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of game bangers out
Speaker 1: of here. Their dads was game bangers. Their dads doing
Speaker 1: life in prison. So they want to be like that. No,
Speaker 1: don't they me go out there and get your own
Speaker 1: and do your own go to school. Now, if we
Speaker 1: did that and stop our nephews and and and everybody else,
Speaker 1: we won the game bang just with our own families.
Speaker 1: Start our own family. Be a positive black man right there.
Speaker 1: I don't given if I got my band down on
Speaker 1: my head and banging my ass off, stop them. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Stop them. If you stop them,
Speaker 1: we're good, We're good. Everybody got to realize we're killing ourselves.
Speaker 1: I watched the thing with um Alijah Muhammed. I mean,
Speaker 1: fair con How can I help y'all? How can I
Speaker 1: have the game Bangers? How can I speak for y'all?
Speaker 1: And y'all ain't helping me. He ain't got nothing to
Speaker 1: go on because we're killing each other when everybody else
Speaker 1: is sitting back laughing at us. This is what our
Speaker 1: people need to look at. Our people need to look
Speaker 1: at man. We need to stop killing each other. We
Speaker 1: need we are destroying ourselves and and and you can
Speaker 1: ain't blame nobody. You can't blame nobody. These white boys
Speaker 1: out here teaching their kids how to shoot and stab motherfucker's.
Speaker 1: But you look on the video, you got your daughters twerking.
Speaker 1: I wish my daughter. Would they tworking and hanging out.
Speaker 1: It's a goddamn shame. Where where's where's the parents? It's
Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta fix us, manu the blaming pointing
Speaker 1: this and that. We gotta fix us because we're killing
Speaker 1: each other man, and it's sad. You know. I saw
Speaker 1: a Facebook post where some white copsoles in the police
Speaker 1: car and they went drawing by and saw some some
Speaker 1: people some shootings and stuff like that, and they gave
Speaker 1: some people high fire or set of blacks high fires,
Speaker 1: telling them good job because they had just did a
Speaker 1: driver and kill some some other blacks. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far into this, but
Speaker 1: I mean this should exist. This should exist. And you
Speaker 1: got a lot of them in uniforms ranch you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Got a lot of them wearing the
Speaker 1: motherfucking badge that's doing this ship. So man, and I
Speaker 1: don't even want to just like really get into that
Speaker 1: because that's a different story. But like I said, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, this was all about Nipcy and you know,
Speaker 1: just like and you do have some good law enforcement
Speaker 1: as well, yeah you do. I ain't gonna I can't
Speaker 1: take that. I mean, you see some good ones that
Speaker 1: get out and health families. You see you've got some
Speaker 1: white cops that look out for black people. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, They just not built on that prejudice
Speaker 1: bullet shit. But sitting here, the man that just killed
Speaker 1: all them people, he's sitting here throwing up, uh, the
Speaker 1: PW white power. You know what I'm saying. These motherfucker's
Speaker 1: know what that is. But they're sitting there like smiling
Speaker 1: at him. And then you got six police officers standing
Speaker 1: there doing the same goddamn thing. Come on, man, if
Speaker 1: our people don't wake up to what we fucking see
Speaker 1: that's obvious, then we are helping them kill us off
Speaker 1: faster than that that we even can imagine. But we're
Speaker 1: thinking this ship we're doing in the hood, killing the
Speaker 1: homies and and killing this nigga because he got money
Speaker 1: and won't give me fifty dollars. It's cool, we got
Speaker 1: like funked up. You ain't got another forty years. You
Speaker 1: ain't got another forty years. You might be a motherfucker's
Speaker 1: slave and another for the years. Wake up, smell of coffee,
Speaker 1: and man, let's just stop doing this to ourselves. Let's
Speaker 1: just stop doing it to ourselves. We have to wake
Speaker 1: up for tomorrow. The story is pretty much let's let's
Speaker 1: train our kids. And I think that's what I'm getting
Speaker 1: from both FI guys. Yeah, I'm just I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, we need to embrace the guys like Nipsey.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, ain't no blood of crypt bullshit.
Speaker 1: I was on the I was on the red side.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I can see there a hology saying this.
Speaker 1: This this young man need to need to be applaud
Speaker 1: just what he was doing. For what he was doing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, ain't no where in the world.
Speaker 1: This man should be laying flat nowhere in the world.
Speaker 1: You can't hate me that much. I can take care
Speaker 1: of hunting motherfucker's. I just can't got to you yet.
Speaker 1: I ain't working with you. Don't mean you gotta kill me.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that ain't the way to die. That
Speaker 1: ain't how you supposed to win out. But ship Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King wasn't supposed to go out like that either.
Speaker 1: What we're doing it to ourselves once again. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know everybody. I'm just just got
Speaker 1: mixed emotions about the whole thing. And I got so
Speaker 1: many things in my mind to where I know how
Speaker 1: we should fix ourselves. But you can't fix I can't
Speaker 1: fix me and everybody else. Everybody got to really pay
Speaker 1: attention and listen and look at look at you got Facebook,
Speaker 1: you got of this ship on there. Half the things
Speaker 1: we do are degrading to ourselves, but we do it,
Speaker 1: but we do it. And and personally, I think all
Speaker 1: the all the black men need to step up. We
Speaker 1: need to step up, because I'll be damned if I
Speaker 1: see a black woman getting beat up by a white
Speaker 1: man on the bus stop and don't help her funk
Speaker 1: that phone, I'm gonna beat the ship out to this motherfucker.
Speaker 1: I love my mama and she was a black woman.
Speaker 1: Feel me, and and and this here, we just need
Speaker 1: to just wake up and smell the coffee. Smell a coffee,
Speaker 1: because one day, this situation here is gonna happen to you.
Speaker 1: If you think this ain't gonna happen to you, then
Speaker 1: you were You're in the wrong world, You're in the
Speaker 1: wrong place. And and we're all gonna feel it. We're
Speaker 1: all gonna feel it, or half felt it, and and unfortunate.
Speaker 1: I've been on both sides. I had the gun in
Speaker 1: my hand and I received the same ship. I was
Speaker 1: facing the gun, so I know being shot or shooting that,
Speaker 1: I know what it's about. And then ain't no good,
Speaker 1: ain't no good feeling. And I can't sit up here
Speaker 1: and be a hypocrite to say, you know, some other
Speaker 1: fucker's deserve it, or I did what I did because
Speaker 1: I didn't have no sense. No, it don't make no
Speaker 1: sense period. And I'm not gonna say if I know
Speaker 1: what I know now, I wouldn't beginning down like this,
Speaker 1: Kine said. Kane said, it's just all stupid. Ship. But today,
Speaker 1: at four years old, I have more respect for my
Speaker 1: black people than I had in my whole entire life.
Speaker 1: Growing up, I didn't I didn't give a fuck, but
Speaker 1: everybody got to wake up and and I'm glad I
Speaker 1: woke up and and I respect the man right next
Speaker 1: to me. Yep, well, cool, cool, Well I think that's
Speaker 1: a that's enough set on this subject. UH. Once again,
Speaker 1: much respect and um love out the Nipsey Hustle and
Speaker 1: his family. And by no means did we mean to
Speaker 1: disrespect UH or say anything disrespectful about him because we
Speaker 1: don't have nothing but respect for him. So um resting
Speaker 1: priest brother peace
