0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:58.320

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Is this somebody that of like that living this lifestyle

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>or what? So let's see that that was John Singleton

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>rest in peace before you know? Before that, you know,

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Sean Singleton, The Boys and the Hood and everything else

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>is real, authentic l A Cat you know right right, Well,

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he had to have somebody to lashan with that. You know,

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I looked, I looked at a lot of it, like

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the Franklin cat. You know, I'm I'm depicting in everybody.

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at everybody how they're getting down? Um, the

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>uncle is a cold one. But Franklin looking at looking

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>at it from from everod so one. He didn't know

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>what he wanted to do. He didn't know if this

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle was good for him. After they took old Boy

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>out that winning there the booty bandit, Yeah, after they

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>got rid of him off the freeway, he gave old

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Boy to bag money and and told him he done y'all.

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:57.279
<v Speaker 1>So at the beginning of it, that wasn't for him.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Like I was telling your

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>early is a different I always say gangster by nature,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>not by choice. You know, some cats out here live

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that life, but you know they wasn't born and raised

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>into it, you know what I'm saying. So you know

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>something has choose to live that life. Oh, this is

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>what I want to do. Because they see the next

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>cat how he getting down? No, the real cats is

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>like this's by nature and he didn't grow into it

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. He just man that. But he became a beast.

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Now let me ask you this, bro. You know you

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>saw him go from that propression of being a dude

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that didn't want no smoke with nobody Harley to be

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>in a stone cold killer, no hesitation. How often does

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>that happen in the streets for real? Uh? Man? That's

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 1>pretty much every day nor somebody get turned out. Some

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>cats become that way because they tired of getting picked on.

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Some cats become that way because the way they was

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>brought up. You know, the father, they their father picked

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>some of these cats just like that, just period is

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in them. But every day, man, every day, you you're

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>going ahead to pick and choose what you're gonna do.

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Some cats don't pick up the gun. They go the

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>other way, or they moved by the state or something.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>But every day somebody get turned out to their life

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>every day. Now, during that era, like during that era

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>back then, what was the worst city? Because I know

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that in l A was comping the most turned up

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>city kind of back back during that time period. Well,

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>when I was growing up, I wouldn't I never paid

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>attention to if l A was the worst is I

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>know Watt's always been somewhere. You know, the afterwards they

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>get a regular couldn't go to watch period. You know

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. It was no way through there. Um,

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Compton was rough, you know, going up over there and

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>since said, you know, people getting killed, But I always

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>focused on Compton. How you know the level we was

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>only competent, not a and none of that, but as

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest encompass. So you know it was off the hood. Yeah,

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I can imagine because I didn't get it. I didn't

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 1>take down all here into so I was kind of

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>coming in almost at the til the end of everything. Right.

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Eighty eight is when I got out of prison, So

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>it was still gun hole in eight. It was still

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>cracking in eight. So you know it was definitely cracking.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.799
<v Speaker 1>But I'm thinking, I'm thinking from what I hear from people,

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>they say eighty six and eighties five was really really cracking. Yeah,

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>it was rough, No eighty three eight a eighty three.

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 1>You had to be who you was, It had to

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>be in you to be a part of it. If

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't, then you you was getting your ass toe

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 1>up and rip the part, you know, if you wouldn't,

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>if if you couldn't make it, then you wouldn't gonna

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>make it at all. A lot niggas got pumped, and

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of niggas wouldn't come outside, and they a

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of niggas wouldn't come outside and eighty three, you

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. So that's when motherfucker started getting shot.

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>So when the pistol play came, a lot of them

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to A lot of them couldn't do it.

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Just like this dude, Franklin. He never carried a pistol.

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>His uncle was to do you know what I'm saying.

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>His uncle, His uncle is like my uncle bolog you

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>know Foster, my grandfather. Uh. He was the one that

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 1>hunk in the project stood. He was a slassing boy. Uh.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>He was the one that was with the business. My

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>oldest uncle rest in peace. And you know Bolo was

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.320

<v Speaker 1>North three fitty seven and a pair of handcuffs. And

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.640

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.880

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>across a few of his homeboys that he's seen, you know,

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:27.320

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>back to this stuff though, James, the thing I liked

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>about Leon is I've actually known cats like that. They

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>just um kind of saw the light and started walking

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>a different path because they realized that the path was

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>on was one of destructions. So they kind of you know,

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>switched their life around. Is you know some of them

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.959

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>really tried or wanted to change their life. They tried

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.520

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna see a parliament. That's what's gonna spark to

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>change in him. Right. But I'm gonna tell you this though,

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I think Jerome wi want up At to kill Louis

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think he could go against his family

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:37.159
<v Speaker 1>for her. No, he's gonna kill He's gonna kill his

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 1>nephew for her. He loved her to death. But because

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna shoot her, and he loved her so motherfucking much.

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 1>He you could read it through the strip to keep

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>telling her he loved her. I got you back, but

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I gotta move on and do me. I gotta do me,

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>but I still got you. So that moves she made

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 1>when she shot up the one that just got out

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 1>of jail. I ain't good with the names on the montain.

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.400
<v Speaker 1>This in the hospital, now? Yeah? When when? When when

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Frederick went in there and told him more, it was

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>as you've seen his facial expression right, and you see

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.919
<v Speaker 1>his hot blood pressure going up and all that he

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 1>was so he coming at her and uncles in the

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>way of that. It ain't gonna stop him, and frankly,

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.159
<v Speaker 1>ain't he ain't gonna get in the middle of it,

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>because you know, it was sucked up. And then she

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>denied him. When she denied him, and he pulled that

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>pistol out, and then that police cat E Scott came

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>behind him. That's the only thing saved her life. He

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>was gonna kill her right then. Yeah, do you like

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 1>what do you think about that? Do you think he

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>was in the right for pulling the pistol long in

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that game? Hell? Yeah, thench I'll bring you here. I

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 1>got you set up. I'm family, I'm nephew. You're gonna

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.880

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:06.240

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.640
<v Speaker 1>told she told him, she said, it is my time now,

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and and she there's a lot of women. I'm gonna

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:15.159
<v Speaker 1>keep you one hundred. There's a lot of women that

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>made it in the dope game. There's a lot of

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 1>women that made more money than the niggas. A lot

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of them made it but when it came to that

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>like really like get down, get down kind of ship,

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.199
<v Speaker 1>some of them stood the test of time and some

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of them didn't. Some of them didn't. I don't think

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>she gonna make it. Who you think will kill her? All?

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>I told you the one in the hospital. Here's people. Yeah, yeah,

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna get him or might kill him so he

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>can save nephew. Because I don't keep saying I ain't

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>going against my family whatever, like you, I think he

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.360

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>boy gonna he gonna take a chunk out of something.

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, he gonna get something. But you know what,

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>though Lean had it right though, man be seen his

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 1>brother fucked up. His brother sucked up because you remember

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.120
<v Speaker 1>when they was going to park, they kept telling them, dudes,

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>not the slang over in the Mexican hood. Remember they

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>kept telling that. They kept telling them, and he was

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 1>mad because his nephews got done in and that one

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>bral was so messy that they hang around with the

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>one Mexican cat. Oh so they wanted the recipe. Yes,

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 1>she was just with it, though she just grabbed me.

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>As the rest of the niggas, this is one. I'm

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to tell you. These female is the part of

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 1>the game. They they in the mix too, and some

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of them is just more scantless than than the next

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.880
<v Speaker 1>niked more ruthless than the next naked should I say so?

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean they all played that part. They all played

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>their part, but they're killing the wrong ones though. That's

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>the only thing I'm I'm tripping off up because the

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>white boy that stepped out on the dope, he killed

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the white boys sitting in the couch and he was

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 1>bringing he so they had to kill him, understand, but

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>just because of motherfucker start smoking and ship though me,

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be a problem. Yeah, I thought that was

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of rash, now you know. Um see, I don't

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you too much because I know you

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>ain't seen the whole thing yet and I don't want

0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to mess it up for you. But Franklin put a

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff in motion when he killed that dude.

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I think they're scared some other people. It's scared a

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people because even his uncle Jabron was like,

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you killed him. That's when he realized that he vicious.

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Now that dude is vicious. Look at the beginning he

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>walked away and told, oh boy, I'm done at the game.

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>That that bands after they sold the Caillac and that

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>like he threw them the bag. He told him he

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 1>done because he was about to bring can Motion some

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 1>more birds. He's like, no, I'm good right then and

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:08.359
<v Speaker 1>there he realized this ship ain't from me. And I

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>want to see how he comes back in and and safe.

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Fucking now the killing motherfucker's yeah, and he went over there.

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 1>You know what I thought was crazy, how he went

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to robbed his auntie's uncle spots. He robbed these spots.

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 1>He cleaned him out. How much money you think he

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 1>got off with? I don't know. He didn't. They never

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 1>said he got off with a lot of money. But

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 1>he only did that because everything that he worked for

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>is about to be gone. So I'm desperate now about

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 1>fucking So when he killed them two mother fuckers and

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>winning there and took all that money and ship, it

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:48.880
<v Speaker 1>was only right. It was only right. I gotta get it.

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't lose everything I had. She went behind his

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>back and went to the plug. So I thought that

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>was fouled out. His uncle shouldn't roll with that, told him,

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you suck that up. You were not do When did

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 1>he find out she did that after the fact, after

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>they got married. Okay, so it ain't gotten it's too late.

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Now he can't do nothing about it. You can't do

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 1>shit about it, but roll with him. Yeah. Now you

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>know Rick is saying that Snowfall was supposed to be

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>about him. Do you think a lot of that is

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>ricking there? Well? I really can't say because all I

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>know and my boy my auntie tell me about him.

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>So I can't say that that's him, because there's more

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>than one character in there that's ruthless and fucking with

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 1>those people like that, I can say, yeah, he fun.

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 1>He didn't come up off another brother and was getting

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it from them. He was getting it from the Columbias,

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 1>whoever the funk he was getting from. So in order

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:01.479
<v Speaker 1>for him to man maintained in the city and do

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 1>his thing, and niggas wasn't running away and ben Bam.

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Any motherfucker's got they got an empire. Any motherfucking that's

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 1>seven drugs and and that that much drugs. Yeah, you,

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 1>some motherfucker's gotta go. Some motherfucker's got to get it right.

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:19.440
<v Speaker 1>You ain't gonna be no bitch make in the game

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>like that and then surviving. You know what I think,

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:25.960
<v Speaker 1>though I agree with you, James, I think it's more.

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a mixture of different people. Yeah, I

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's a mixture of different people because I see

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of Harry Yeo in there with the

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>buying the buildings downtown and all that stuff, and you know,

0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 1>really running legit businesses. I see a whole bunch because

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 1>when people I actually know a whole bunch of the

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Freeway boys shout out to the Homi big Shitty and

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 1>all them dudes. I know a bunch of cats that

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 1>used to run with Rick, right, They used to really

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 1>run with him. There was a part of that whole thing.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't just Rick Like I like, Rick get

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of credit, and you know he deserves. Rick

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.240

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 1>bunch of cats out like that out here back then. No,

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:06.680

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>just one person, especially the big dude. Now, once you

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:12.840

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that we was given, we was giving it away. We

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't have no clue. I can't lie. We should have

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 1>been rich off that ship, but we didn't know so

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>so so y'all were just getting the ship. Jane's gather. Motherfucker.

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 1>was buying the ship from mouth from us. Those dudes

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 1>when you start seeing them dressing with the silk shirts

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and and got their head did and nice cars, they

0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>made it. They knew what to do with their money.

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And then they can started taking their ship out of town.

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't good for the city. You know what I'm saying.

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You go out of town, get all the breads you want,

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>because it was it was cracking back then. It was

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 1>in demand. So those dudes made a lot of money.

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.160
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't just one morefucker. That one motherfucker took

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 1>five motherfucker's with him. If niggas thaid they're gonna come

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 1>in there and get down and take something from me,

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>they ran into resistance. They had some niggas that's with defenders,

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Yeah, so yeah, well you

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:03.639
<v Speaker 1>know from what I heard, now, this is what I heard,

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and I heard it from a couple of different people.

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I heard at one time though that the Colombians was

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>dealing straight with black people out here, but then they

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>start kind of using them when they was getting robbed

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. They started going more to the Amsican people,

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 1>living American people, deal with the old American things. All

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 1>of the all of these drugs shows show you and

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>they tell you the blacks got messy. The Mexicans are.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 1>They keep their ship secret. They didn't funk with everybody

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and everything, you know what I'm saying. They didn't so

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the Columbias like this, why keep working with them? And

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna bring bad business to us. So they ran

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>from the bullshit and went and with something, something was

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 1>more souber and and and legit. You know what I'm saying.

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Niggas was out there doing each other to get that

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>bag at the time because it was a lot of money,

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of motherfucker's was getting turned on, you

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, because they was making the mother

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the motherfucking money and they wasn't shine it. So nigga's

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and be killed a lot of a lot of motherfuckers.

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy, man. You know what My whole thing was

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>about that stuff, James, You were thinking logic. Some of

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>them cats were stacking the million dollars a month for

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a million dollars a week. Yeah, you would think after

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>motherfucker maybe hit tim million, they'd be like, you know what,

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna tip out of here. I'm just gonna

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>raise up and go bounce. That ain't the mentality of

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a black man. Most motherfuckers did that if he if

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>he got ten million, he went and got some businesses

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 1>like the older cats did back in the days. That's

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:55.800
<v Speaker 1>when it was good for him. They did do something

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>with their money. The generation after that they made money

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>in ball low Rider's jury and ship like that. You know,

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 1>they had to be seen when it first started. The

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 1>ones that made money, they did good by their money.

0:30:14.120 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>But everybody else that that wanted to shine and wanted

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody to see that they had money. Them the nuggleheads,

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>they got in trouble, They got caught up, they got robbed,

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they got killed for the ship, you feel me, because

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the next nigger was starting and hungry and he had

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to get the motherfucking big shark. Now, how many how

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>many legit businesses you thinking of hood right now that

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 1>came from that whole dope era. Oh man, I can't

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>even count. I can't even count. Uh some businesses that's

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 1>out there. And you don't even know. The brothers got

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the honies, gout or whatever. Everything. Niggas don't want you

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to know and didn't want you to know they business

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>because back then niggas was getting flipped over for you know,

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>once they found out who you was. Mm hmm, they

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>was getting flipped. Niggas was going to prison, you feel me.

0:31:12.600 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of ship that them cats was doing,

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>which was good is keeping the hood out of their

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>ship keeping When when the motherfucker came to kicking in

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the hood, he came and kicked it in the hood

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and bounced, I ain't gotta go around the corner and

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep. They left the motherfucker's in the hood.

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 1>In the hood. Niggas wasn't taking niggas to their house.

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>The ones that did what happened. Motherfucker's somebody close to

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 1>him killed them for their bag for they said, And

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 1>that's how That's how the game was going for the longest.

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So motherfucker's got smart and stopped telling them, telling their business,

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 1>making their business hood business. So you know, it went

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:07.880
<v Speaker 1>on different kind of ways, man, And it was crazy.

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 1>And I get I guarantee you every guy that watched Snowfall,

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's sitting there like this like this ship is for

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:20.040

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest with you. It seemed like the cats,

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 1>like you and your folks was out there really just

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of just putting your muscle down, all right,

0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.280
<v Speaker 1>just in the three stuggling out. It seemed like, really

0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the drug deals was kind of like the nerve niggers

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>in the hood. They kind of might have got a

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>plug on something and they just master minded and kind

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of put everybody else on. Now, they didn't have to

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 1>be the winning niggas some of some of the some

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of those cats all over in every neighborhood, you got

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the same niggas. I don't give a funk with. Nobody

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>said you got the real niggas. You got the scandless niggas,

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you got the hitters, you got the the educated niggas.

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>You just got the homies that's associated with the hood

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:36.240
<v Speaker 1>because he hang out. But a lot of them motherfuckers

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:40.879
<v Speaker 1>was like the majority was like real niggas that took

0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:43.479
<v Speaker 1>the game and and and ran with it for real.

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:47.280
<v Speaker 1>A lot of cats wouldn't cut for that ship. Because

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 1>every hundred dollars you make, you're going to buy weed

0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and drink. You ain't really making money. Niggas wasn't taking

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 1>money and saving it and putting it away thinking I'm

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be this motherfucking five years. Niggers were staying on

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the block jib two four in the morning trying to

0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:08.439
<v Speaker 1>get some money. When that real nigger was leaving it

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:11.040
<v Speaker 1>as soon as it got dark eight nine o'clock. They

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>got made mine. I'm gone. That's the ones that wouldn't

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:18.280
<v Speaker 1>greeting and they made their money and we're just gone

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:22.120
<v Speaker 1>now now. When you was out there, James, when you

0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>was out there, what's the most money you made in

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the day out and it's on the corner, maybe four

0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:33.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred five dollars. Then was about that, you know, I

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 1>had maybe like I had a couple of times man

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:40.439
<v Speaker 1>to wear stand off in the corner, I made eight

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars, you know, a thousand dollars or whatever like that.

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>But then it was like really rare because it got

0:36:46.120 --> 0:36:48.399
<v Speaker 1>to the point that where were so many niggas out there.

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about cats just in the same crew. You're

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:54.319
<v Speaker 1>almost doing something. Okay, you get the next one. Well,

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the only motherfucker's that hung on stock to block was

0:36:56.760 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>our crul was our true that hung on that. But

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:06.680
<v Speaker 1>our block was niggas was selling. And during the twenties

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:09.680

0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to drink, it's time to go. We was out, we

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.400
<v Speaker 1>were gang banging. We wouldn't know that I'm nig I'm

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna stay here and make my money. Nick, I'm in

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the hood. No, we was on some different ship. That's

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. You got a different types of niggas

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 1>in the hood that's sold dope. You got niggas in

0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:27.919
<v Speaker 1>the hood that was selling dope that they never picked

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:30.160
<v Speaker 1>up a gun and win the shot. Nobody or did

0:37:30.239 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a drive by or had an altercation with you know,

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 1>anybody else. Listen, niggas that you gotta pass because you

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 1>grew up in this motherfucker. You got a right to sale.

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And they did it all day. But the ones that

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>was out there gang banging, you know, it was like

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you had two jobs. I'm a gang member and down them.

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:54.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm a part time half ass selling rocks

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:57.839
<v Speaker 1>to keep money in my pocket, to keep a fresh hack,

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:02.439
<v Speaker 1>fresh converts, fresh ass khakis in the fresh white tea.

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for real. And you know the thing, hell, anybody

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that ship in two thousand between two man, I

0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 1>feel bad for him. Ain't no money out there, no

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 1>more like that. That's gone, that's done. No, But it's

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:20.720
<v Speaker 1>enough for a cadinet hood to do what I just said,

0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:23.680
<v Speaker 1>to get the fresh niggers to to bibe. You know,

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:27.400
<v Speaker 1>stay fresh, you ain't you ain't making no mansion money

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:30.719
<v Speaker 1>out there, you know what I'm saying. And then we

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 1>were so stupid all that ship that that that we had.

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Now none of us had a lawyer. Niggas didn't put

0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:43.680
<v Speaker 1>money away for that. Niggas didn't put away bail money. No,

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you feel me. It was just it was just we

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't know, we didn't. I don't think nobody knew, James.

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think nobody was thinking that far beaut Like.

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought about it the other day and I really

0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>just thought, I said, Man, ain't God that God had

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>mercy on on us? Man, because you know you do ship.

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I think about it, me being a cat to come

0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 1>out here from Ohio playing football and I'm out in

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the corner. I could have went to jail and been

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>going for thirty years though, but you'd want you to

0:39:15.520 --> 0:39:18.919
<v Speaker 1>system just say five years that it turned your whole

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 1>life around, that that that a rearrangage that has set

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 1>you on a different course. Now you go do five

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:28.760
<v Speaker 1>years and the state pen attention. You're a big dude,

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:31.840
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of motherfucker's probably when the fun with you.

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:36.840
<v Speaker 1>But you'd have had some issues and because you ain't

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>from no click or you might have to click up

0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>with Long Beach, and I think that would have been

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the best thing for you because of the Long Beach catch,

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, like bombing them. All you gotta do is

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.920
<v Speaker 1>mentioned bomby niggas. No who Bomby is. Yeah, you know

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:56.120
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy. I'm gonna tell you this answer. God true.

0:39:57.320 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I was two weeks from going and probably going to

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 1>prison with that nigga if I wouldn't have kept having

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 1>new thoughts in my head to get But I told you,

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I walked away and left the whole song from the

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 1>side of the building. I walked away dog because my

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>mama knew. I think she knew. And I just kept

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>having these thoughts man, I needed, you know, I kept

0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:18.760
<v Speaker 1>getting the warnings and not following the police came around

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.359
<v Speaker 1>that dog, I walked home and never looked back. Dog

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and find people to jail. Two weeks later, he caught

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 1>his first KIS And I know for sure I would

0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 1>have been with him was I was running with him

0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:32.320
<v Speaker 1>thickt thieves back then. That's that's my dog. You know

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. That would have changed your whole life.

0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:40.319
<v Speaker 1>So just think how many cats lives changed by going

0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to prison just because they was trying to make some money,

0:40:44.160 --> 0:40:45.799
<v Speaker 1>just because they was trying to you know, I had

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a kid and wanted to get on that block to

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 1>make sure that baby was good. You know what I'm saying,

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:55.200
<v Speaker 1>or something is just doing it for for self preservation.

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:57.239
<v Speaker 1>I need this money. I needed to I need a car,

0:40:57.320 --> 0:41:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I need wood wool. The price that a motherfucker paid,

0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's crazy, it's crazy. It definitely ain't worth it.

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know what's what's funny though, Dog fine Be

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 1>always was a good cat, always was a cool dude.

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>And that was the way of looking out for me

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know what I mean, That was kind

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 1>of his way of looking out for me. Man. But

0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I just tell you, man, we really gotta start man

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:28.120
<v Speaker 1>developing other options to people. Man, we really gotta start

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>looking at other options and not just look at because

0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 1>our whole thing is black folks. Dogs, is you ain't

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 1>playing football, you're playing basketball. If you ain't playing basketball,

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.319
<v Speaker 1>you're wrapping. If you ain't doing none of those, you're

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to sell dope. You know what I'm saying. We

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta start thinking the different stuff to do. Dogs. Plenty

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>of ways I get to have a good life for yourself. Well,

0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot that do. But the ain't nobody being

0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 1>taught that that you've got other options. These cats out

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 1>here and ain't learning that. And before you can get

0:41:56.480 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>a hold on them, they're already doing blow, they already

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:03.520
<v Speaker 1>drinking all day, they're already getting high, they already setting

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:07.919
<v Speaker 1>their ways. Let's say that's seventeen sixteen, seventeen years old,

0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:11.480
<v Speaker 1>sixteen years old. They tattered all the way up from

0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 1>their neck down to their belly. So it's gonna be

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:20.040
<v Speaker 1>hard to to to get at a cat that looking

0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.439
<v Speaker 1>at the older dude like thinking you didn't had your time.

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:27.759
<v Speaker 1>It's my turn, for real. It's gonna be hard. But

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like I said, everybody go through something and they're like,

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:37.759
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna make them say, fuck this ship, fuck this ship.

0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Because happy these cats ain't lived like that yet. Happy

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>these cats ain't been stabbed and and tied up and

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:48.080
<v Speaker 1>cut shot. Happy these niggers they went through this ship.

0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:51.840
<v Speaker 1>So you know what to And I look at Cleveland,

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:54.799
<v Speaker 1>like in California, when I came up in Cleveland and

0:42:54.840 --> 0:42:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the crack are started up there, it was a little differently.

0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.719
<v Speaker 1>L A is crime, you don't get wrong, but Cleveland

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 1>is like really grim, and you got brawls to carry

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:06.840
<v Speaker 1>to raise, the blades in their mouth you got, and

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the thing you know, you and Cleveland, you was more

0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 1>than likely to get stabbed up somewhere then get shot.

0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 1>See for number one, we can't separate the states because

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:21.000
<v Speaker 1>black man niggas is niggas period. Yeah, that's what I'm

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:22.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to That's why I'm trying to tell you. It's like,

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, me thinking about the east side of Cleveland,

0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:27.799
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't really no different than being on the east

0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:29.920
<v Speaker 1>side alone, because it was like the same stuff kind

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of just a different play. The only thing, you know, James,

0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the only thing you could do is substract the crips

0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and the bloods. But you've got some other cats up

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:38.840
<v Speaker 1>there to kind of replace the crypts and the blood

0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:44.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's all the same stuff when we do ship,

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 1>let's look at it like this. Let's just push it

0:43:46.760 --> 0:43:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in order how shit's supposed to be, and and let's

0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 1>go by Let's say the ranks of different motherfucker different individuals.

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Everybody ain't the same cat. Everybody ain't the motherfucking killing.

0:44:01.160 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 1>If a motherfucker kill somebody or or got a night

0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.000
<v Speaker 1>he did heat, I don't stand with motherfucker like used to.

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't hold my knife like you old your knight

0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:14.400
<v Speaker 1>should I say, I don't hold my pistal sideways and

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and pop I don't do that. So motherfucker's are different,

0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but the the what's the good word for it, the

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:29.319
<v Speaker 1>reactions are the same. No, I don't give a funk

0:44:29.360 --> 0:44:31.960
<v Speaker 1>how you how you pop your pistol, if you hit

0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the motherfucker, it's the same. You can get the same

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 1>ship out of it, you know what I'm saying. Some

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:42.439
<v Speaker 1>cats don't understand that, man. Our whole universe is there's

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:47.759
<v Speaker 1>nothing but the circle is recycing. Everything repeats itself, and

0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 1>that's all we have here. But every time it repeats itself,

0:44:51.480 --> 0:44:55.879
<v Speaker 1>it's just worser and worser and worser. Because we as

0:44:55.960 --> 0:45:02.000
<v Speaker 1>black men ain't educated or educating our own, our cousins,

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:06.279
<v Speaker 1>our nephews. We ain't educating. We're not saying you know what, man,

0:45:06.400 --> 0:45:08.440
<v Speaker 1>what's funny about you saying that? Man? I was just

0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:11.680
<v Speaker 1>talking to this young cat the other day and we

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.799
<v Speaker 1>was talking about like, um, you know it's one of

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:18.160
<v Speaker 1>me and Glasses younger partners, right, yeah, And you know

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.319
<v Speaker 1>he's doing this thing. Man, he's a young cat. You know,

0:45:20.320 --> 0:45:22.319
<v Speaker 1>he's still going out party and you know they're doing

0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the stuff now, they're doing the ecstasy and all that

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:27.239
<v Speaker 1>different stuff. Right. And I told him. I said, man,

0:45:27.239 --> 0:45:29.839
<v Speaker 1>you better be careful because they even putting uh, they

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 1>even putting that fat and all and everything now, right,

0:45:33.320 --> 0:45:36.080
<v Speaker 1>said you better be careful. And he was like, well, man,

0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't do this. Um, I don't do no hearing

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:40.200
<v Speaker 1>one or nothing. I said, dog, you're taking pills. Though

0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't hear it when I said, dog, it's the

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:46.400
<v Speaker 1>same stuff as opious, just like I said, it just

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:52.840
<v Speaker 1>got a different effect at all. This ship is sucking

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 1>niggers up. It was the same man. And them kids,

0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:59.560
<v Speaker 1>they're getting on them peels, James, and I'm talking about

0:45:59.840 --> 0:46:02.840
<v Speaker 1>it's bad U from Cleveland. No dog like with them pills,

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it looks it's almost like it was eighty two, when

0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 1>eighty two and eighty five when the crack was really

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 1>on hit. That's ideals now. But they're on the pills, man,

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:14.160
<v Speaker 1>And the people is younger and younger. You got kids

0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:16.680

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:20.759
