And that's what I think I 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.440 put that off.

Miss. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.400 The first two songs kind of got that aim, and 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.200 then I start cracking on the government and the criminal 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.399 justice system like the next TU song, so I established 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.079 we dope as fucking this is the mission. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.160 And then I start tripping. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.240 You know, I had to get that means I got 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:18.760 the home in the bag with the beat he little 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.799 slider beat up under that later on eight. That's gonna 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.960 be the official remix. You just need. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:25.880 You know. I'm sorry for. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:27.519 You. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:34.560 While you know you talk about the criminal justice system, man, 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.200 one of the things I wanted to talk to you about. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.680 And I know you in town and everybody gonna ask 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.040 you about this, but I'm gona take a different angle. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.800 You pretty much impacted the whole future hip hop. Like 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.000 you said, the President's like the ship the Young Bull 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.200 is going through now because they pretty much sanctioned to jail. There. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.680 It's space from a rap song. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:54.200 They did. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.600 They did, they did, and the and the cover. You know, 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.320 it's it's interesting that they said, Okay, this is the 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.400 murder weapon on the album cover. But you can't do 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.480 forensics on a picture. So they never found a murder web. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.640 And the reality is they never found a murder web. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.080 But they we thirty something years after this incident, thirty 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.480 two years and people still think the murder weapon was 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.920 on the cover or say that to me, and it's 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.919 just one of them things. How can they establish that 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.560 fact if they never found it and they never did 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.520 forensics right. And the other thing is they chopped my 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.760 song up, so the song is called Still Shooting. Actually 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.919 sampled Ultra Violet Dreams by cy Bricil on their ironically, 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.039 I sampled that and I pushed some Isaac Kay's' side 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.800 of there, you know what I mean, And that's that 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.400 first song on Psychoactive, and it's called Still Shooting. The 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.760 intro is called the Murder, but the media started referring 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.240 to the song as the murder and editing my lyrics 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:53.960 so that they can make it said what they wanted 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.240 to say. The ap picked that up and instead of 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.760 hip hop journalism kicking in is started to pick that 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.240 part and tell a story as me being one of 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.919 they own. They just picked up the apiece story and 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.800 repeated the sensational lize verson of the story. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.840 So that was really like a weak shut So you 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.520 was doing it like from the beginning because the court 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.960 of public opinion, the more fucker it is. Man. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.720 And we were at a time in the country where 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.440 you know, we got Mike Tyson with the right case 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.800 that they was trying to get him for. He got 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.719 oj going to trial. It just was a time we 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.160 had just had the riots, you know what I mean, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.680 the officers went to trial, you know what I mean, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.479 all of that thing do Rodney King shit. So this 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.599 is a build up. And then Iced Tea with the 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.360 time Warner shit. So we just in a time where 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.200 hip hop was under attack from from the government. Really, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.800 it's always been to government, even if it wasn't hip hop. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.280 It's just always been there trying to tear us. 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.000 Up, you know what I mean. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.640 But in this specific instance, that was the environmental atmosphere 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.520 in the culture, and they was just trying to smack shit. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.800 And I ended up being somebody that they did that too. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:06.040 Critical times man, right and there. Yeah, yeah, all them situations. Uh, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.920 they would definitely try to hold some ship to kiss 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.240 you then because niggas was depressed and didn't give a 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.760 fuck around then. So it was all kinds of shipped 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.760 that mm hmm. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.000 It was real cliche that goes what going on?

It was man, it was music. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.320 And now it's just I feel like I would really 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.240 like us to see a return to that well sort 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.559 youngster can start doing it, that'd be beautiful. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.160 It's starting to get there, it is. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.360 It's a bit of a rebellion going on right now 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.080 where people want that classic shit. 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:30.880 Yeah, I think just people just what's been going on 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:36.520 basically as far as hip hop conserve, you been a 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:41.160 negative light shawl on hip hop for the last couple 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:47.000 of years. A lot of dudes getting killed and't a 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:51.080 lot of a lot of a lot of scenarios that 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.560 basically don't even fit on criterion. But it started shining 0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:01.480 a heavy negative light. So I know, you know, we 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.600 put out our shit, you know, to talk about where 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:08.559 we came from and and uh how the impressions of 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.840 growing up in these in these neighborhoods made us put 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.520 these records together. But you know, I think just the 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:22.360 blatant violence in the hip hop. You know that that 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:27.880 came from what we're hearing today. You give me motherfuckers 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.480 is like Nigga they described and the murders.

But if it's some niggas 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.720 talking about some bullshit around the corner, cia you little 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.520 hole knowing we dont came in the air to wear 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.720 a bunch of goon on men gossip like little hoes. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.760 Yeah, that's a true statement. That's a true statement. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.080 I think this carre Hollywood has penetrated the depths of 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.559 hip hopping the way that really is was never allowable, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.160 and we've allow. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.720 People to make music that we never really would allow. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.000 Niggas used to get beat up for if he was 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.280 too close similar to somebody else, the niggas was going 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.320 to want to fight about that. If you made a 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.640 saw too similar to a nigga sol or he was 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.800 too similar to a nigga name, or you tried to 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.400 do something that wasn't hip hop. You know, kr rs 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.680 want beat upp and don and put random niggas abo 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:38.560 up the stage. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.480 Like nigga you and welcome it. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.200 The niggas to be the number one best rivers alive 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.560 right now meaning the type shit this is Millie Vanilli 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.000 would have got away with him right. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.040 Now, you know what I mean. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.000 Niggas would have been to make it excuse his own 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.440 He made some really good songs. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:59.680 They Hollywood didn't penetrate. Yep, Hollywood penetrated the streets. So 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.000 aspect of. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.320 It's hard for niggas to be old j anymore. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:14.600 Right, You got niggas school or in our age in 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:22.880 line of who feel like being famous and popularity. It's 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:29.640 hard than the cold of being just authentic. You're getting me, 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:35.080 especially if you claim to be one of those dudes. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:40.000 It seems like that narrative has left us, like niggas 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:49.560 have forgotten, like those colds and get me hush and 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:55.080 don't talk too much, not flossy and a flashy and flamboyant, 0:15:55.200 --> 0:16:00.600 and niggas didn't want to be seen. You can get 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:07.440 letter and you need said that. It seems like shit, 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:12.560 you got more uh niggas in the older age group 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:17.800 who want more celebrity and fame than trying to just 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.120 keep the authenticity of being a nigga who's supposed to 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.000 be a real nigga? Right, how is that look? Is 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:30.640 that fouled apart? You get me cause niggas, I don't know, 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.120 niggas don't like real niggas today. You know, is it 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.800 fouled the part to be a real nigga? Is is 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:43.000 it looked upon by you saying that you were from 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:47.120 the streets and you you know, a bide by a 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:51.720 certain cold Do they foul the part that shit? Today? 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.320 I don't think if people frowned off the luggers, don't 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.240 think they get them. I don't think they care. Like 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.560 all that stuff. I think, man is out the window. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.840 Like when you start talking about snitch, how many people 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.960 you don't seen snitch? And they come right back home 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.000 and they back on the streets and doing what they do. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.840 They're going about their business, and it's like whenever you 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.120 get That's why I always I think, yeah, the scene 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.480 always be quick to tell people. I don't gain but right, right, 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.040 but you got a lot of people who ain't from 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.399 that world. That's comment and that's what people well, you 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.639 got a bunch of people that don't know nothing about that. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:25.960 They up there calling. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.080 People snitches who ain't really snitches and they're doing this. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.480 So you got a bunch of square people trying to 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.719 play in the h rings that they don't know nothing 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.320 to bo and that. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.560 Was like they can't be checked because they behind the 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.199 computer strands. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:40.720 That's what I mean by. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:45.040 The WWF and the WWE commentary because just hip hop 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.040 transition from one to the other, just like the WWF 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:49.200 be came the w w E. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:50.359 We saw that. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.479 I think one of the things culturally, crazy and gangster 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:55.800 used to be separated. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.480 And you got a crazy nigga, that crazy nigga was 0:17:59.520 --> 0:17:59.919 going to be. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.880 Sometimes they get dealt with that wasn't allowed to exist, 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.320 and then you gotta you gotta against the nigga that 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.199 wouldn't want that around. Now the crazy niggas is the 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.480 niggas with the jewels, the crazy. When the crazier you are, 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.160 the more they celebrate that. And it's like it wasn't 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.080 ever the niggas that got to run nothing or call 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.639 and make decisions. They got euthanized. And so it's different 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.000 Nowaday and't like that no more. And there's an argument 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.320 that there's superior ways. Now we got more conflict resolution, 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:30.040 blah blah blah. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.280 But at the end of the day, to me, I 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:32.760 think we. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.040 Might have failed the generation the fathers were under attack. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.280 The reason we failed them is because we was getting 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.040 our ass whooped, among the other things, and I think 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.040 a lot of people was locked away who could have 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.360 had voices. A lot of us ended up being in 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.800 positions if to be servants more so than to be masters, 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.959 meaning that we're in control of the masters of our 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.200 own destinies. So we didn't end up with the power 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.560 structures that we should have by now where to where 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.600 the money that was generated by melanative people within this 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.280 motherfucker industry was put in a way where the control 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.960 and the power and the ability to dictate what occurred 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.120 remained with those of us who were the taste makers 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.720 and the curators. So you end up with people who 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.800 don't really give a fuck about the culture making decisions 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.600 that are impactful to the culture. And now it's about 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.000 pleasing this algorithm more than it's about pleasing the statutes 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.640 what we're supposed to do and what we're not supposed 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.760 to do, the tenets of this sacrifice and replaced by 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.880 including some clicks and that's really what. 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:39.679 It is still as a podcast or just as a 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.399 as a person deals with you know, the podcast world 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:48.639 and creating content and all that. Why do you think Snitchell. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:49.440 Was made. 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:56.080 Like as like the content like we gottake because that 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.479 was some shit, like even if I don't know, it 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.840 was like was it was like a higgen thing like 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:06.720 niggas didn't talk about it wasn't spoken with the court 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.439 and somebody got on the stand whatever whatever, or it 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.479 wasn't like all these niggas over here gonna talk about it, 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.480 then we're gonna go tell the hood over there. Then 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.800 we gonna tell the hood over there, then we're gonna 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.880 go tell it. It was like that was like some under 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:28.040 the tables qualified Why is it? Why is it a rise? Right? 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.120 Yeah, we see it was a time that she had 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.600 to be qualified to say somebody was a snitch. You 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.639 just couldn't go because you know, it's some snitch to 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:36.439 the bush retal. 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:38.840
