And we 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.480 go go into some of the monkey business a little 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.120 bit later on. We're not gonna start off with that 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.800 because it's way more stuff to talk about. It's a 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.559 lot of stuff going on there. Seems like the world 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.800 is almost losing their minds, been losing his mind what 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.560 you're talking about, you know, it's just a lot of 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.680 stuff going on, man, It's it's a lot of stuff, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.399 you know, from these guys out here, you know, committing 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.440 mass shootings. Um two guys out here just doing some everything. Man, 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.360 you know, people beating up their mama's right. It's just like, 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.560 you know, I look at this stuff sometimes, man, not 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.960 say man long. I never would have imagined, man, that 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:59.920 we be at this place in society. Well, I'm a 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:04.800 say this norm Everything that we talked about is like 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.160 it's a revolving door. We haven't all been through this 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.519 ship before. If you live in the hood, comes from 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.079 the hood, you don't seeing the homies beat up their parents, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.160 their grandparents that raised them. We don't seeing the shootings 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.880 We've don't see uh, we don't seeing all this ship 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.080 that's happened in the day. History just repeating itself big time, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.160 you know what I'm saying, And it's outside our neighborhoods. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.760 It's these white boys picking up the pistols and doing 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.080 this ship. It's it's just got out of hand. Should 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.520 I say, yeah, has got a hand, because when it 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.399 comes down to manage that we no longer have any morals, principles, 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.520 or respect. And I was like, all that's all that's lost. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.960 I remember a time, man, if you went outside, you know, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.720 you and your friends with customer something, you saw somebody's 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.959 grandparents and parents.

And it's not 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.160 like that no more. They don't give a damn no right. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.399 I don't get tell her better than better than anybody 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.000 he was here longer.

And you had to respect him because he 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.080 was the only one at the table that that man 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.920 d up on this ship.

You want to talk to 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.320 the business like that. But this is what I can 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.320 do to you type of ship. So one of his people, 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.440 a cat that was just on one at my clubhouse. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.799 You know, we didn't have didn't tolerate that BS ship 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.640 the bike set, you know, and where with my club 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.440 it was just like being one hunting. So this cat 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.360 failed rest in peace. Money felt that he can disrespect 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.560 one of my sisters. Mhm, come on mon. They then 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.080 you already know we don't get down like that. And 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.440 he was an l a cat. And when he got there, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.480 I said and checked this out. I think you're using 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.360 the B word too much. If you won't, I can 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.400 treat you like And he was like what what what? What? What? 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.279 He thought the whole cript card was gonna be behind him, 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.680 which it wasn't about no bloods and crips. This is 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:45.520 respect and being on the bike set. So he he 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.640 had me when no no point of return down, I 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.680 gotta became, okay, you called the first bluff. Now what 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.599 we're gonna do with this one. So I had to 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.760 bend the nig over the table, lift his legs up 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.800 and say down to the bitch. You know. So he 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.919 thought bombing them was spending to come in and just 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.600 saved the day. You know, it wouldn't happened like that. Bob, 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:13.600 my niggah. But this acts as him. But he Okay, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.480 it's just the respect that I have for for Bob 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.360 that out of all of those niggas to be his age, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.480 you would think he was way much older than what 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.560 he is. The way you carry yourself, feel me. So 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.640 everybody and their mom on the bike said respect him 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.680 because he didn't act like a youngster. He act like 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.280 like he'd been here before, you know before everybody time 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.920 he was on that level. So number of respect to Bob. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.640 That's my little nigga, and he just Mom, James, I 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.320 knew you before you thought I knew you, Bob James, 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.720 and I had like, what you know what I'm saying 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.120 that ironic? Hey, James, is it ironic that I said 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.720 the same thing to your Texas that your proceeded to 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:02.280 me meeting you? And yeah, it's crazy we met in Texas, 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.400 but you know, on something on something Okay, let's hollow 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.440 whoop the whoop at certain a certain individual. And it 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.880 was okay, we could do that. I mean, you know, 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:16.400 it's like, come to niggas getting at this nigga, because no, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.440 I don't. I ain't even got time to get that 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.560 nigga that type of energy. You feel me. We know 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.680 who we're talking about. Niggas know what Texas was about. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:30.840 So even though Brian wasn't there at that when that happened, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:36.400 his name was still in it just because and and 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.200 and it was crazy because when Brian came to the campsite, 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.720 he didn't show up at all. He figured he was 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.000 to be attacked then, so ship went to where it went. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.480 But anyway, let's get to where we had. I'm just 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.240 giving people a little history or Mr Bride. And when 0:08:54.240 --> 0:09:00.680 I first talked to him, his conversation, his intellect was okay, man, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.080 just just do right here and know what you're talking about. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.520 And he was to come to do you know what 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.560 I'm saying. So the way he was talking with straight 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.280 facts and okay, this is whoop whoop. So here enlightened 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.440 the little homie even from even though I'm from the 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.360 other side, I'm a little homie. I gotta respect all 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.199 and give respect where all is do. So I'm listening 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.600 to him and then it's bamed. So we was good 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.600 every sense. Then every sense like this reputation proceeded. You know, 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.000 I just put it like this. In our former lifestyles, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:39.440 we have high percentile rate. We was engaged in the 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.240 same senselessness as I called it now and uh he 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.480 was one of them guys that was yeah, okay, yeah, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.280 just put it right back, you know, in our former lifestyles, 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.600 right and as I always said, uh, in the rivalry 0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:00.439 of worthy adversary. Yeah, so you're from the of course, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:05.040 carbon Park. We said it Carber Park. Let's talk to 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.200 the people a little bit about you. The younger you. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:15.080 The younger me was out of his mind. The younger 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.200 me was, as I often say, I got it right here. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.720 I often say this to people, man, and they don't 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:27.360 understand this. I went from from which is right here, 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:34.280 a twenty nine page rap sheet right here, two college 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.800 degrees right here. But the younger me was an individual 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:44.040 who I just read it slightly. It's just one little 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.880 segment I'm gonna read. The younger mean was a guy 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:52.480 who they said, uh, we have federal authority saying, with 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:58.320 a ridiculously horrific, horrible, gangbanging, evil member of society that 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.640 Mr Berkeley is. It's my transcripts. So they said about 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:07.120 the court based on the younger me, like I said, 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.920 being out of his mind, as I say, because based 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.800 on once again, I was a guy that was a 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.240 shooter shooter. I was a guy that lived to shoot 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.319 that pistol. Because I wasn't the world's great in spider. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.240 I didn't duct wreck. I just you know, basically they 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.360 called me aftermath. It was like you whooped too, and 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:28.960 then I'd be over there to see you guys on 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:34.079 my moped. You know. I was a guy that unfortunately 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.199 this is all paperwork pertaining the meat from young people. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.199 But I gave you because as I got I got 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.400 a bullet in my stomach necking back as a result 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.920 of where I lived. You know, this doctor reports it 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.640 says anytime Paroley comes home, he's an immediate danger to 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.360 the society right here to the community. You know, So 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.480 on paper I was I even deturable, and I was 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.200 a dude that lived for the set. I was a 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.600 gang bangers, gang banger. I was well just called the 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.600 elitis I was a top shoot unfortunately, so you know 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.000 that was me in the background. My neighborhood is the 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.320 oldest Cript gang in Compton, were the first crypt gang 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.320 in Compton, followed by the Grannies and Booth Hill. So 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.199 and I've been from my neighborhoodver forty years. So I'm 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.200 just a product of my environment. As far as my 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:26.760 senseless legacy, as I called it now right dog, You're 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:31.840 witness it is now. When the Tenants was the only 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:36.600 crypt gang that was surrounded by the Bloods, I mean 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.600 they right in the heart of everything. You know what 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.160 I'm saying. If you come from this in the Rosecrans, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.160 you got through town trees, you got all the Bloods, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.920 west sides and everything coming back towards the mild Bluesst 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.360 Park Day in the middle Alm Street, in the middle 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:58.079 of everything. Do you think they was the coldest uh 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:04.240 Cript sector because they survived being in the trenches. I've 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.160 always said, in order for the Tennis to hold on 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.040 the Rosecrans, they had to be the top Cripts on 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:12.920 that side of the town. And that's not taking nothing 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.720 from the neighborhoods the South's to Kelly's right, It's just 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.880 stayed in the fact to survive and and we're gonna 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.559 keep it one hundred from my perspective, and you can 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.080 correct me if I'm wrong. Prior to the mob clicking 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.000 off on itself in the Losis Park mob and the 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.880 Loosest Park, that was the dominant set over there that 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.800 was given five cript gangs the Blues on a regular 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.199 and consistent basis. And anybody did that say different, I 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.040 tell them to their face, man, I'm not saying that 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.240 to Blue Smoke, nobody really, I'm staying in the compt 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.440 In fact, on that side of the town, Loss Park, 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:52.920 not Am, not Holly, not Line, not Cross Atlantic, Lotis Park, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.320 and Losis Park mob slashed. The mob was the ones. 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.000 The reason why every crypt set over there looked at 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:07.080 every quarter came through. Well back then, everybody Picky backed 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.439 off of Louters Park, so he had a variety of 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:15.120 somebody from every hood that was with it, but represented 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.360 do this park. They wouldn't representing Almas and Holly and 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.080 and all of that. It was. They was representing Louters Park. 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:28.480 So louds part pretty much was what I called the 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:35.000 the mothership. Yeah, or went to prison. I didn't represent 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.560 the mob. I represented Louds Park because I grew up 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.200 knowing where it all started from. You know what I'm saying, 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.200 I wouldn't do in the mob thing. I know where 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.120 I'm from. But all of this here is it steals 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:52.440 from Looters. So everybody over there, basically Louders got credit 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.720 for a lot of it because everybody was, in my eyes, 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.400 Looters until. You know, even though everybody you have different 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:06.040 branches of neighborhoods, everybody used Looters Park. So a lot 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:10.680 of backlasds came because everybody was using and saying it 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.920 was from loss. So the majority of the older guys 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.400 such as myself, I'm damning in sixty. I know y'all 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:21.160 older than me, but we're going to Prisson representing Looters Park, 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.480 not their hoods. Yeah, so definitely, And like like you said, 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:26.960 you have the town of the town of held their 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.560 own and they had to have been a strong neighborhood 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.880 in order the whole thing on because they'd only crips 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.000 that on rosecrans. You know, I got nominally in itself. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.680 So many cats were mad at me because you know, 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.520 I gave props what process was due, and just because 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.600 I was being or I was from where I was from. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.040 You can't sit there in line and say, oh no, 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.000 those niggas was whoo whoo. Why are they're still there there? Yeah, 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.280 I mean you have to call the spade to spade 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.920 saying you know, h like I said, like even when 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.960 I was coming up, man, dudes say you from We're 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:03.760 not Eastly because we was a small gang, but it 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.080 was an old gang at that time. Now we're a 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.760 large gang and they say you from where, ain't your 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.520 bounty hunters like now? But it was a core group 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.880 of us that fended off the bounty hunters, And the 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.600 bounty hunts always say, man, the Corbor parks, they helped 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.120 their part down. Even though in my generation we was 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.840 out number ten to one. We was born un you know, 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:24.720 so you have to give props with problems to all 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.600 old hunters. Say it in Carbor Parks. Yeah, they held 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.000 their own. And it's the same thing with you guys 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.160 in the towns. You have to give props problems to. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.240 That's why I say worthy adversaries in that former lifestyle 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.520 of ours. Right, So let's go back to where we 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.480 was at. Why are you growing up and doing and 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.520 everybody recognizing you as who you was, are, your reputation 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:52.000 perceived itself, going to the first going to prison. At 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.160 some point you felt you had to change your life 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.800 because right dog would have got the virtual Criminal Act 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:03.720 at some point. Yeah, what made you figure out that, Man, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.280 I gotta make this ship work for myself? Well, what 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.480 happened with me? I'm gonna be honest, man, You know, 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.760 I was still engaged in certain aspects of the streets. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:18.679 And then in I'm at a computer at computers in 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.480 the Fens, and they said called home a SAP. And 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.359 I turned to look at this dude named Darnell d 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.439 Nice from a setting in the North Long Beach, and 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.840 I said, Damn, this is you know, this is my 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:34.360 exact words from Damn, because Darnell did and he said, 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.120 who was darning? I said, my son, I said, read 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.840 the email. He said, all they say is called home 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.280 a SAP. So I called home and my nephew said, man, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.600 d got killed last night, And I just knew that 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.600 was the catalyst to me, Like damn, my son followed 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.399 in my footsteps and look where he had, you know, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.199 And so that that was the initiating me transformed in 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.560 my life, you know. And then I start. You know, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.320 already had two collegian degrees, so I was in pursuit 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:03.719 the more and I was like, man, I gotta make 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.800 this ship work when I call home, you know, like 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.160 I can't do this no more. Man, ain't no snitching 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.359 in me, and I'm not gonna let him retire me 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.520 on this. I can't double up my age. So that 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.399 was the beginning, man, And then I just want to 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:17.960 have got me a couple of more degrees. I already 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.040 had a degree in social mediator science with another degree 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.920 in business. So I went on and got a couple 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.480 of more and was like that's what. That was my 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.880 ground zero, man, you know, because it hit hard home. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.280 You know, he was my little homeboy from my neighborhood, 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:36.120 which I didn't uh coldone. But what can you say? 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.159 I was missing in action? Man? Yeah, no, let me 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.879 ask you a question. So you already had to turn 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:44.680 in your mind that she was gonna change your life 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.399 when you got on. And this is the eighties, are 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.040 assuming right now? I went to the fans and O three. No. 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.760 In the eighties, man, in the eighties, it was go 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.320 home and get right back in and like put okay, 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.680 So nothing I got that clear. So you came home 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.879 to two thousand's, then I came home, I went I 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.560 went to the Fens in two thousand three, and I 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:09.960 came home last July. The ankle Braceley got took off 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:14.280 my leg. Okay, so you just now getting back home. Yeah, 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.119 so it's been a little bit easier for you to 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.399 stay on that positive road, because if you just got 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.000 out in the eighties, then like you said, he's been 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.239 hopping right back in. Okay, I went to I went 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.760 to the joint when I was seventeen. Man, I got 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.919 out of my mid twenties. I had a body then 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.760 and I got out. I hit Solid Dad see four three, 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.640 And then when I got out, there was the crack 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:43.560 here and turtle recipes from Santana embraced me and I 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.480 never looked back. But I was chronologically in my twenties, 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:52.639 but mentally I was seventeen m And a lot of 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:57.120 people say that. So by being the tracy Solid Dad 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:58.920 and things of that nature, in the choice of seeing 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.120 all the madness and particip of painting in the madness, 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.159 you know, it's like like the gonna be band from 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.119 front of I told Mellie Mayo, he said, the only 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.159 thing I used to get mad about bright Organ Tracy Is. 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.840 He volunteered for every mission. He wouldn't let nobody go 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.440 on a mission. When it came to a confidence, you 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.240 did I go, I got it, let me go ahead, 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.080 let me go, let me go. That was one of them. 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.840 I was a torpedo. So when I got out of prison, 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:22.720 and it was a crack air. And then when I left, 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.240 you got a barn. Mind it's twenty two rifles, thirty 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.199 eight gauges and if you had it in one, you 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.439 had the ship. And it was three fifty sevens and 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.919 fot folks things of that nature. I come on, it's 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.520 hecklers and its h ks' is a kss s ks 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.320 it's And I was a shooter, so I was still 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.159 mentally a child, but I was gang banging. So when 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.919 I subsequently did a violation, I end up catching up 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.119 some shootings and the cats they kept one. I got 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:51.520 to give them their props. I love him for that. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.199 They said, we're not coming to court, We'll kill you 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.199 on the streets. And I was like, okay, respect. You know. 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.480 I was gang banging. So when when did my violation, 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:02.320 I got ten days at the house and the dude 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.080 bumped into me and didn't say excuse me. And I 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:05.600 did what I had to do and picked up eighteen 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.359 more months. Then when I got out of prison, it 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.520 was like it's back on and true to their words, 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.359 the cats shot me soon as I came home. They 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.320 stuck to their word. I give the props, you know, 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.399 Crisha'm off, you shout out to y'all, y'all shot me, 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.440 you focus, But you know, but that was I was 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:24.719 a gang banging, you know, and it was to me. Uh, 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.440 I didn't give a funk about going back to jail. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.400 It became repetitive, but it didn't matter. I'm banging.

I'm going to shoot up every adversary of 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:33.880 the core of reports and let him know I'm back. 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:37.000 You know, That's what I did before. I was a 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.920 gang bangers gangbanger, so I was completely lost in the sauce, 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:46.960 as the saying goes, sure bus, sure bus, su bust 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:52.080 shoot dice. So let me ask you this, since you've 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.159 been on the right path, you see a lot of pipe. 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:58.040 A lot of people don't understand the mindset of what 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.520 a real gang banger is and the ship that you do. 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.960 And that's on both sides, whether your blood or corric 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.000 And a lot of people get slacked when they they 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.280 hear that you change your life or you live in 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.480 a certain kind of way, and it starts, it stems 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.800 from the hood. The homies don't understand or don't want 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.119 to let go of the fact that you change your life. 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.720 Did you have to deal with that? Well, I tell 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:26.199 him like this, don't let the new me make you 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:30.719 think that the old met don't exist.

Yeah, I made the transition from 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.520 a gang banger to a gang member when I was 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:05.200 twenty eight years old, you know, and a lot of 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.919 people from outside the United States to understand the transition, 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.760 explain it to him. But the transition was this just 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:18.919 a short synopsis.

So my message, 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:38.080 like I said today, I'll be trying to just be 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:40.960 on the message. Man. I don't glorify my past, but 0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.200 I use it as a as as a catalyst, as 0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:46.120 as as a bridge to telling dudes, what you're doing 0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:49.960 is a rerun to me. Man. Y'all the eighties, Man, 0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:52.720 the seventies was cool, but the eighties was that air 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.400 where you hit a block, you'll see a thousand dudes 0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:58.200 flamed up with Puma dogs on, with big red shoe strings, 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.200 with Philly jackets on. You hit another block, you'll see 0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:03.800 dudes with the blue and black Booma dogs on. What 0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.720 we call the New Yorker is a big shoe strings 0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:08.160 and everybody got on the New York jacket. It wasn't 0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:09.920 though this jack was for that did. Everybody were the 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:13.600 New Yorkers, and everybody were the Phillies. And you had 0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:17.440 colors right, and you didn't have crips wearing red, and 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:19.560 you didn't have blood wearing blue. If you did, it 0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:23.280 was a minimum, you know. And so this generation you 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:27.400 can't even tell who's who. You know, acts and skinny 0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:31.800 jeans with cartoon characters. We had uniforms and we represented 0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.520 where we was from, right And that's just the truth 0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.160 of it. So they can't tell me it's a comparison. Yes, 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.120 it's your world, and I wish they didn't game bang, 0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:41.480 but we don't live in a perfect world, right, you know, 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:46.000 you know, like the system. Yeah, we know. We can't 0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:49.760 stop everybody from game banging because it is what it is, 0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:53.000 and a lot of us. Every hood then had a loss, 0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:58.160 every hood that loss the homeboard. So in order for 0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:03.040 YouTube even a kid is gonna get better, everybody gotta 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.600 stop crying wolf and accept the fact that we had 0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:10.120 losses on either side. We can't. I can't be mad 0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:15.080 because the wolf kill my homeboy, my cousin or whatever, 0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.120 because we don't did the same to the same neighborhood. 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.760 So these guys got to realize at some point, just 0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.520 put the guns down you It's it's always gonna be 0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.680 in you. Some guys got it on them. Some guys 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.800 just got it in them, and at some point you 0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.800 just gotta say enough is enough. Okay, we all took 0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:38.880 losses in this motherfucker, so who's to be mad? Who's 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.720 to say what's right is right on? Or I can't 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:45.960 get over my boy being killed? No, we gotta get 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.840 over it. We all took that. Hell, you know what 0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:52.800 I'm saying that we all haven't been to funerals, multiple funerals, 0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:55.640 So at some point we gotta, you know, I gotta 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:58.920 show these kids or these young cats how to grow up. 0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.240 That's why. That's why if dudes been looking at me 0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:06.800 on social media, he was Slick from Campanella all the time. Man. 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.960 That's it. Man, I'll be saying y'all and that you're 0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:11.560 gonna do a damn thing too. But I don't care 0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:14.920 who you are, Right, that dude, Slick is funny in 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.600 the motherfucker. That's my that's my. I say slick and 0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:20.200 say things to be that other people can't say to me, right, 0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.720 you know what, slicking call me retarded all day, log 0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.160 and I'm just you right, I can't you know. So, 0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.000 Slick is a good dude, and he does a lot 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.120 for the community and for the children. And see that's 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:34.040 that's why I like interacted, like I like interacting what 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.280 you on here, because it's showing people that they're forming 0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.560 war vets like us can sit up here converse. We 0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.360 can sit up here trying to find a solution just 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:43.840 to save at least one dude, because that one dude 0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.000 may turn into the neural surgeon. That say, ten dudes 0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.520 that come out of our community. Now, you know, you're 0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:51.960 just saying something really profound. Um, I do. And that's 0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.880 why we established this, you know, forum as a positive 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:59.360 thing to bring change to the community. Right right, What 0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.040 did you say out there to those people? Because right 0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:03.680 now we just mentioned that we're in the age of 0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.560 social media and to where anybody can be famous now 0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.960 and there's a lot of money that can be made. 0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.960 So you've got everybody chasing after that, right, and so 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:16.400 in doing that, they're willing to do some unthinking about 0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:19.280 and other magical things. Just in the past year, we've 0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:21.760 seen things go down online that we never that I 0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.080 thought I would never see take place. What do you 0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.920 have to say about that? I say, like this man, 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:32.880 um dudes that slander dudes without any any anything to 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.400 substantiate comes out of their mouth to the lot, the liableness, 0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:41.440 the slander, the the sensationalism, like Okay, I'm gonna sugar 0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:44.120 coote it, I'm gonna saying straight out, okay, black one's 0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:46.120 a Jerry Springer, of of of of of of of 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:50.520 of social media. Only five years Jerry Springer shots you 0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:53.720 with everything from midgets with vaginas two giants with penises. 0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.320 You know. You know, whatever he could do, you know. 0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:59.280 And I say, people such as him and people that 0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:03.200 are in that that do that they just do is 0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:05.440 gonna come to not in a sense of saying something violent, 0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:08.400 but I'm saying it's buffooniary at all time high and 0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:10.760 at some point we have to tell him, as as 0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:14.280 as people from that environment that this ain't cool, this 0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.200 ain't us. That's why I always advocate like certain people 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:19.040 aren't the voice of the West Coast. I'm not the 0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:22.120 voice of the West Coast. I'm an opinionated individual, right, 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.600 But if you don't put clarification on certain things. To 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:27.959 the rest of the United States, they take things as 0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:31.320 gospel urban nights, you know. And I say, you know, 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.880 I've seen things on social media where I almost got 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:36.160 caught up, but I got angry, and I was like, 0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:38.080 enough is enough? Made you slant? The people that look 0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.920 like us make the plan feel even Jerry Sprigger made 0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:44.640 it even He's gonna talk about Blacks, Mexicans, Whites, Chinese, 0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.880 Martians or whatever you know. So I just say to 0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:52.520 that man, is that somebody needs to just beat the 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:55.520 brakes off them. Dudes, just not killing. Just give me 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:59.000 a good old fashioned ass whooping West in my house. 0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:03.360 If social media didn't bite you everything they hear that, 0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:08.560 the people didn't listen to and give energy and content 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:12.200 to to to to motherfucking clowns like that, then you 0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:14.960 wouldn't have to worry about it. But social media is 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:20.759 not that social media, and listen and believe everything they hear. Um, 0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:23.680 I can't lie to you. I'm wanting. I get mad, mad, 0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:27.919 mad mad mad too to the point where I don't 0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:30.480 have no choice but to be mom James at this 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:34.879 point because now Marm James is being attacked. But how 0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:38.440 do I this than myself from Marm James and not 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:41.719 be your mom James and continue to you know, my 0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:46.280 path of being James McDonald. My life has changed. I'm different, bright, 0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:49.480 So I'm not the one to get out there and 0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.480 then go bound. But now here I found myself in 0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:57.160 my car like the old days, with my pistol in 0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:00.440 my lap. Let's get out and let's beach about these 0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:03.200 niggas over here. Okay, y'all playing with me, let me 0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:06.240 show you what this and that. But that only sets 0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:10.000 a bride dog and a mom James back to who 0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:16.880 they were. So like one individual told me, Choston White 0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:20.399 told me, and he didn't want to make me see see, 0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:23.920 I told y'all even still, Mom James, this is motherfuck game. 0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:30.399 Change said me, to funk up, because here I am 0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:33.160 being James McDonald and doing what I think I'm doing 0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:36.920 is right, and people wanted people to see my change 0:35:38.000 --> 0:35:43.640 and understand me. Here he is provoking a situation and 0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:46.040 he and and he succeeded in what he was doing. 0:35:46.440 --> 0:35:49.160 But at that time, if I was one of those cats, 0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:54.080 any strike counts for me, he had got to ask 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:59.040 for And if I was mob James in that situation, 0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:03.319 he'd got to ask woman because apparently point they didn't work. 0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:06.360 So playing b is to disrespect him to the bullets, 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.239 and I'd have picked him up and and and and 0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:14.239 did great body harm to him. But at the end 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:18.680 of the day, he explained to me, if you touch 0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:22.080 and beat me up, you're going to prison. You're going 0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:27.120 to jail. See you know what, I think. Charles does 0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.200 do some some out the way stuff, right. He does 0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.920 some way your stuff right. But one thing that I 0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.480 do respect about that dude is that he tells you 0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:38.359 exactly who he yields. It ain't no friend to him. 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.319 He tells you, I'm gonna talk to my ship, and 0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:42.200 if you put your hands on me, I'm gonna see 0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:49.040 a lot of things that Charleston Waite spoke on. I agree, 0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:51.680 I truly agreed to some of the ship that he 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.680 speaks on. But when it comes to the blood and 0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:59.640 crypt thing, I think one speaks for all the way 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:04.680 he's putting ship in and content. One blood, one crip. 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:07.440 We speak for each other, whether it's l A Compton 0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:10.960 or whatever. Somebody got to speak to this motherfucker because 0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:15.400 he was being reckless with the lives, with the with 0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:18.480 the niggas. That's a love with the ones that are dead. 0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:24.040 So that becomes all of our business. Those that game bang, 0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:27.279 those that don't. You know what I'm saying. So we 0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.360 all responsible for each other at the end of the day. 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:34.480 Gang members don't understand that ship today. You know, we 0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:38.680 are all responsible for for life and death. Yeah. Well, 0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:41.280 I'll tell you the most destructive part about this stuff. 0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:45.080 And my skin is a little bit thicker when it 0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:47.640 comes to the Internet because I realized what it is, right, 0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:50.560 and I take the destructive part about this is that 0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:54.120 you guys got people online talking about real solid people. 0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:56.520 I don't talk about people that at one time would 0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:00.200 take you off this planet. Yeah, and so you think 0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.960 it's these It used It didn't be cool for a square, 0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:07.600 a civilian to pop up online and talk about the 0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:10.839 bride dog or talk about the James McDonald or talk 0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:15.319 about a big you or whoever. Right, they just didn't happen, right. 0:38:15.320 --> 0:38:17.920 Everybody kind of stayed in their place. Now you gotta do. 0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:21.400 They can sit behind the computer and leave a type 0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:24.400 of message and call the motherfucker a rat, call the 0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:27.000 motherfucker out their name or whatever. And I remember it 0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:28.879 was a time and if you call the motherfucker out, 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:31.720 if you call the motherfucker a snake, and you didn't 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.480 have no proof. Because I'm gonna tell you this and 0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:35.239 I don't even want to bring it back up. Man, 0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:39.799 because it just we in different times. Right now, I 0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:41.800 can pull a piece of paper out right here, I 0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:43.520 can pull a piece of paper out right here on 0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:47.120 this show and say such and such told this is 0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:49.799 this right here. Name don't be nowhere on there. But 0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:51.920 now you've gotta continguen to see if people saying that 0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:55.080 somebody is a tattle, tell right, somebody's to snack, somebody's 0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.719 a rat. It was a time when you got your 0:38:57.880 --> 0:39:00.399 he had knocked into the middle of the street. Your 0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:03.000 thoughts will be on a concrete literally, you just can't 0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:04.759 say things like that. So I think we're in a 0:39:04.920 --> 0:39:08.680 very disrespectful era. And I think people think that playing 0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:12.080 the games is cool. They think it's funny. Now they're 0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:16.880 just seeing about everybody and anybody well knowing Facebook, YouTube, 0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:22.239 social media period. Uh that I just ship all of 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:26.640 that ship gives motherfucker's Are those guys that wanted to 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:33.120 be or wanted to be uh recognized as a gang? Remember, Uh, 0:39:33.200 --> 0:39:35.640 you know everybody can't be top dog in the hood. 0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:39.640 Everybody ain't top dog in the hood. So you got 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:45.640 catch that wasn't a factor in the hood or running 0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:49.000 around in the hood. Now they're o g s because 0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:52.000 all the real niggas is done. You gotta catch that 0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.560 couldn't voice their opinion. Now you've got social media where 0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:58.600 you can do it. You know that that phone gangster 0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:03.120 ship you got so some media gangsters now having to 0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:05.600 catch this running their mouf and talking that ship on 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:08.560 my mama. They would not say that on the other 0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:11.680 side of this motherfucking desk and called me a motherfucker thing. 0:40:13.080 --> 0:40:16.080 Y'all gonna be editing some ship and let me get 0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:21.560 that tap. You're filthy. That's why I took it to another. Unfortunately, 0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:24.640 and and and and it's exactly what you said. Still 0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:29.320 that unfortunately, to me, one of the greatest dudes offer 0:40:29.360 --> 0:40:30.880 the rap thing because what he was doing in our 0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:36.040 community allegedly said something about the individual, and by him 0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:40.000 not having something called this to back it up, immediately, 0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:43.839 the individual did what the streets dictated. You don't call 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:46.560 me that without this to back it up. And the 0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.960 fort that happened to Nipsey, he got put in that 0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:51.840 pickle jar. Okay. Now, I'm not saying it was right 0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:53.759 or wrong. I'm not saying anything of that nature. I'm 0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:56.640 just saying, with the streets dictate of old and it's 0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:58.960 a thing like I took it to another level. I 0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:01.360 was dealing with the cat who was making allegations against individal. 0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:02.920 I said, first off, I'm gonna say my name is 0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.520 Brian Danielle Berkeley Senior, a K A O. G. Bright 0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:08.160 Off a K A bones Low two eight to zero 0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:11.240 eight one one to C four nine two three Freedom 0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:16.480 information at nextus, lexus, find law west Law dot com, 0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:20.480 look me up. Never made a statement, never will since 0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:23.280 in transcripts right, etceter etceter etcetera. So that cat didn't 0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:26.680 have the ammunition to slander individual, which is his nature, 0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:29.440 you know. And it's like you said, we call them 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:32.480 studio gangsters and we call them sales soldiers. I just 0:41:32.520 --> 0:41:35.120 step in the suburbs all day long going to computer 0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.480 and say, still ain't ship man, you know, still got 0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:41.000 knocked out the other night. Man, y'all weren't near because 0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:43.360 y'all ain't got access to where we go to. And 0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:45.520 then now now I got a million dudes in Tupelo, 0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:50.879 Mississippi believing it. And that's the problem because yeah, I've 0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:54.120 seen cats, you know, and I come from the area. 0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:56.200 I'm not no crip or no blood.

Why ain't nobody fighting, Why ain't 0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:13.839 nobody getting knocked out? Why ain't nobody get bolds put 0:42:13.840 --> 0:42:15.680 in them? Because that's the era I come from. If 0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:17.920 it's a problem, you got an issue with me, we 0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:19.600 don't have to do all this. I'm not good that. 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:21.560 I'm not gonna come here and sit behind on camera. 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:25.560 They can go back and forth fiction. But I only 0:42:25.600 --> 0:42:29.120 got one ticket, one ticket to play at my age 0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:31.240 right now. If I go to jail, that's the rest 0:42:31.280 --> 0:42:35.080 of it. I'm on my other I'm living in the 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:38.520 other half. Damn this sixty So I don't got time 0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:41.719 to play. I don't got time to get out of here. 0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.640 Just oh you motherfuck I ain't got time. But that's 0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:48.120 been there, done that. You gotta think, you gotta think 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:51.560 totally different now this. I only got this part of 0:42:51.600 --> 0:42:55.000 my life. And then on top of that, you know, 0:42:55.120 --> 0:42:57.600 I don't think about something no more. I don't think 0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:00.200 about this is about the hood. I don't think like 0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:03.840 that no more. And you know I'm thinking about grandson, 0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:08.680 my granddaughters, generational wealth. Yeah, so you know it ain't 0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:11.560 about me no more. That's what we have to do. 0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:15.040 And I'll be honest with you. You know, we talked 0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:17.880 about a few individuals. I don't know Whack one hundred. 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.279 The man ain't never said nothing about me. Um, I 0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:23.319 don't know him. I really don't know him, you know, 0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:25.200 I don't. I don't know him to have no opinion him. 0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:27.440 I just know from what I see, right, I know 0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.480 what I see and I know what I hear. Um, 0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:33.440 I know Charleston White, right, And like James said, Charleston 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:36.600 White says a lot of factual stuff. He's not a dumby. 0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:40.640 He's very conscious of what he's doing. You understand what 0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:44.040 I mean. Like so it's like the whole rat Williams 0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.680 think he got us almost like a character. He understands 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.480 that and he plays it out well and he tells people, look, 0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:52.080 I ain't gotta never leave Texas. You come down here, 0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:54.120 I'm gonna shoot you. Well, I'm gonna call the police. 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.239 M Either look at him now, don't know him. I'm 0:43:57.239 --> 0:44:00.680 gonna point this out. You you you hear them today 0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:04.360 and and and many men pointed out to me earlier 0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:07.640 this morning. You you don't hear him speaking on the 0:44:07.760 --> 0:44:11.520 game bangers no more. You're him talking about rappers. You know, 0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:15.560 he learned his lane, he understands his lane. Well. A 0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:18.400 lot of these rappers heals full of ship. A lot 0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:20.080 of you know, a lot of these rappers heals full 0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.640 of ship. You know it sounds good on record. And 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:25.200 that's the thing. At one point, everybody kind of knew 0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:27.439 their place. We lived in the area. Now to where 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:31.759 don't nobody know their places? Man, Look at my cousin. Okay, 0:44:31.760 --> 0:44:34.759 my cousin, my second cousin, is Draco's ruler. Look at 0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:38.640 his demise. This depies to me as a result of 0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:42.560 the rappers dictating to the entourage, as opposed with entourage 0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:47.120 used to dictate to the rappers.

This 0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:34.279 is what I will saying, and this is what I 0:47:34.320 --> 0:47:36.719 want to see right now, and this is what I 0:47:36.760 --> 0:47:41.600 wish everybody was listening to.

But if you pay attention to 0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:51.200 what's going on. I saw something on Instagram the other day. 0:47:51.239 --> 0:47:52.839 It was a kid there was about three or four 0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:55.840 years old.

I can't 0:48:10.280 --> 0:48:13.239 hit nobody. I saw one time I was um, I 0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:16.520 was riding down on an imperium. I saw two dudes 0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:18.320 out in the gas station going on and they popped 0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:20.279 at each other. They wouldn't know more than eight fiefs 0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:25.680 of each other, they both missing. Just you know, I'm 0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:28.200 probably don't hear everybody else around, and they having with it. 0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:30.840 But I'm just saying, we're sitting up there playing games. 0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:34.759 They are getting prepared for us. They're getting prepared to 0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:36.840 take us out, and we are not a quick to 0:48:36.880 --> 0:48:40.719 deal with it because we spend too much time online. Bullshit. Yeah, 0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:45.320 well let's look at it like this norm. They're getting prepared, 0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:48.000 they but they should be doing it. We should be 0:48:48.040 --> 0:48:50.640 doing the same thing they're doing. We don't have time 0:48:50.680 --> 0:48:55.400 to teach, especially our own kids, how to survive or 0:48:55.480 --> 0:48:58.560 protect self when it's time. Now the time has come, 0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:00.960 and trust me, the time just coming where they're gonna 0:49:00.960 --> 0:49:08.600 bring their ass in coming. We ain't ready because half upus, 0:49:08.680 --> 0:49:10.760 like you just said, don't know how to use a pistol. 0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:13.440 Half of us don't know how to load that a 0:49:13.640 --> 0:49:18.360 k and you know, get on.

Exactly. 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:03.400 That's the message. I'll be trying to see it, man, Like, 0:55:03.600 --> 0:55:09.160 don't beat me homie, you know, and you're exactly right. 0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:11.680 And that's my message to everybody out here. And I 0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:15.239 think I've been in California since eight right, so at 0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:19.880 this point I've been in California more of my life 0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:22.839 than I have been in the higher right. But tell 0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:25.200 them how much money did you come out of here with? 0:55:25.760 --> 0:55:27.520 I came out here with fifty dollars in my parker. 0:55:28.800 --> 0:55:31.600 I didn't have it. I didn't come out here man 0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:34.360 with with no silver spoon. I had a mission. I 0:55:34.400 --> 0:55:37.600 just knew. I see one thing about it, Cleveland, Ohio 0:55:37.800 --> 0:55:40.319 was really to get them. If anybody has ever been 0:55:40.360 --> 0:55:44.120 to Cleveland, Cleveland is together. I'm from the ghetto. You know. 0:55:44.200 --> 0:55:46.000 We don't do no game banging up there. But it's 0:55:46.000 --> 0:55:48.200 still plenty of shooting and killing it going. But we're 0:55:48.200 --> 0:55:53.200 not into the game banging thing, right. But we will 0:55:53.280 --> 0:55:58.680 tell you this. Those cats know how the white folks 0:55:58.800 --> 0:56:01.680 I'm talking about the supremacy this and know they let 0:56:01.680 --> 0:56:04.000 it be knowing who they are. I grew up seeing 0:56:04.040 --> 0:56:07.960 those white supremecy offices with the flags on, with the 0:56:07.960 --> 0:56:10.960 Confederacy flags on them and everything. It's still on the 0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:13.080 West side of Cleveland to this day. So I come 0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:16.959 from different eras where if one of those was walking 0:56:17.000 --> 0:56:19.479 down the street and they could be the same size 0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:22.120 as me, swallowen up and everything, swashter this don't make 0:56:22.200 --> 0:56:25.160 body and everything. They go call you, watch your name 0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:27.120 and let it be known. If you want to fight, 0:56:27.239 --> 0:56:29.440 you can fight. They're gonna say, what a deal. So 0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:33.279 I've seen that side. What I wish the brothers out 0:56:33.320 --> 0:56:35.400 here would do. I'm not saying we gotta be all 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:38.719 coom by yaut with each other. We better start respecting 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:40.600 each other though, because it's will come a time where 0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:42.520 you going to lean on your brother. And if you 0:56:42.560 --> 0:56:45.080 think I'm playing of a conspiracy theorist, just go look 0:56:45.080 --> 0:56:47.319 at some of these videos. They don't there. These people 0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:50.280 are getting prepared to go to war while we're sitting 0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:54.160 up here. Bullshit and net is stupid. You're right when 0:56:54.160 --> 0:56:55.799 you come at us, we're not gonna know what to do. 0:56:57.200 --> 0:56:59.279 And I see I see it too, because one of 0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:02.440 the areas I work can I work in uh was 0:57:03.000 --> 0:57:07.359 predominantly them out of van eyes, you know, And so yeah, 0:57:07.400 --> 0:57:09.600 you're right. I see certain things, man, I see I 0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:12.560 see openly tattoos or certain things. And because I know 0:57:12.560 --> 0:57:15.239 how to read tattoos. I see the secret, little secretness 0:57:15.280 --> 0:57:18.440 on the tattoos, you know, from prison, you know. And 0:57:18.480 --> 0:57:20.240 I see these cats when I go into places of 0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:22.880 business and their sleeves the road up. I mean, like, damn, 0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:24.480 this do work here. But he's letting it be known 0:57:24.520 --> 0:57:26.520 what he represented. But he's letting it be known to 0:57:26.560 --> 0:57:30.080 those who know. Yeah, because if y'all noticed this man that, 0:57:30.880 --> 0:57:34.200 they're starting to get a lot more breezing. I'm talking 0:57:34.200 --> 0:57:38.720 about the racist right. And see, these kids aren't just 0:57:38.960 --> 0:57:43.240 unloading on these servilians for no reason. It's somebody giving 0:57:43.280 --> 0:57:48.560 them instructions to cause chaos. Somebody is instructing these people 0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:52.480 to do things right. And like James said earlier, they're 0:57:52.520 --> 0:57:54.640 gonna come to comfort one day. They're going to come 0:57:54.680 --> 0:57:57.680 along beach one day, They're gonna come to wats one day. 0:57:57.840 --> 0:58:00.240 When you be prepared, you know how to you know 0:58:00.280 --> 0:58:02.440 how to destimate your own brother, you know how to 0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:04.320 destroy your own brother, you know how to destroy your 0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:06.280 own community. But yeah, when it's time to fight for 0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:08.959 that same brother in that same community, are you going 0:58:09.000 --> 0:58:11.320 to be prepared? Or are we gonna stay on the 0:58:11.360 --> 0:58:13.960 same dumb ship? Are we gonna stay stuck because it's 0:58:14.000 --> 0:58:18.120 embarrassing to me. Man, is that all these guys acting 0:58:18.120 --> 0:58:22.120 the food are forty five years old enough? We have 0:58:22.160 --> 0:58:24.760 not matured as a people. We have not grew up. 0:58:24.760 --> 0:58:26.920 Are we supposed to? We're still acting like the fourteen 0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:30.560 years old. Well, we have yet to understand our own 0:58:30.640 --> 0:58:33.480 kind and and and and what our struggle really is. 0:58:33.840 --> 0:58:36.120 I'm not going all the way back to Harriet Tepman. 0:58:36.160 --> 0:58:39.280 I'm talking about our hood days. And we got to 0:58:39.360 --> 0:58:44.439 understand that our ship is built around total different ship 0:58:44.520 --> 0:58:47.720 that what it is today. Back then when we grew up, 0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:53.520 I'm doing our game banging times we couldn't stop the killing. 0:58:53.720 --> 0:58:56.880 We couldn't stop and just bag away and just okay. 0:58:57.000 --> 0:59:00.240 This is that because we had other elements and bolved 0:59:00.280 --> 0:59:04.560 in our situation that created the war, that made the 0:59:04.640 --> 0:59:07.560 war continue to be what it is right now. You 0:59:07.600 --> 0:59:11.480 know what I'm talking about. And the same people you 0:59:11.600 --> 0:59:17.880 speaking of today wouldn't allow a truce, wouldn't allow uh 0:59:18.040 --> 0:59:20.520 someone not to be killed in six months, Boy, we 0:59:20.560 --> 0:59:24.480 ain't had no gang activity went down six months? Bullshit? 0:59:26.560 --> 0:59:29.680 Because I ship we're gonna call you got the executioners, 0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.400 you got the band didos you got the vikings, you know. 0:59:33.160 --> 0:59:34.480 I mean, I remember at the peace treaty we were 0:59:34.520 --> 0:59:36.920 shooting dice and the Nikolasons and lap D wrote up 0:59:36.920 --> 0:59:40.080 a bus yeah, and we gave it to him and 0:59:40.160 --> 0:59:42.320 that was one of the participants. Yes, statue limitations of 0:59:42.440 --> 0:59:44.280 fun y'all. And I was one of the participants that 0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:47.200 gave it to him. Some of them been involved in 0:59:47.520 --> 0:59:50.960 that got picked up and handcuffed and unhand and got 0:59:51.000 --> 0:59:54.720 released in the wrong neighborhood and not to car Yeah, 0:59:54.840 --> 0:59:57.000 you know, I had, I had those experiences. I had. 0:59:57.080 --> 1:00:00.959 Unfortunately I was still a functioning dummy and I shot 1:00:01.000 --> 1:00:03.760 to one at our peace treaty in Carver Park, at 1:00:03.800 --> 1:00:06.600 Corver Park. And then the next day I was in 1:00:06.640 --> 1:00:08.800 a long beach and the sheriffs who don't come to 1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:10.720 the long beach pushed right up in the Carver the 1:00:10.720 --> 1:00:13.840 Carmelitos and said, oh, by the way, bright Off, thank 1:00:13.840 --> 1:00:15.680 you for shooting. Do that. The peace treat it ended it. 1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:20.120 It did not take me to jim So you know, yeah, 1:00:20.360 --> 1:00:23.240 I don't bite into the conspiracy, into the facts, and 1:00:23.400 --> 1:00:26.600 that's what it is. It's not a conspiracy because what 1:00:26.640 --> 1:00:29.320 we don't do is we don't like the news, right. 1:00:29.360 --> 1:00:33.320 We don't do researchtion we look at alternative stuff. We 1:00:33.400 --> 1:00:35.960 look at people online pretty much. And right now we 1:00:36.040 --> 1:00:38.240 live in the area. It's all entertainment, right because people 1:00:38.280 --> 1:00:40.840 can say anything. I can come on here and say 1:00:40.840 --> 1:00:43.440 I'm a millionaire. I can come on here with a 1:00:43.480 --> 1:00:46.000 bunch of fake money and some cars. I don't run 1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:48.920 it and give motivational thing. Yes, if you believe in 1:00:48.920 --> 1:00:51.400 your mind you can achieve this greatness. You can and 1:00:51.440 --> 1:00:53.439 you can have a bunch of people following it. Because see, 1:00:53.440 --> 1:00:55.480 we're looking for hope, but we're looking for hope in 1:00:55.520 --> 1:00:57.440 the wrong places, and that the wrong people. We idolized 1:00:57.480 --> 1:01:00.680 the wrong people right now. True, and it's really gonna 1:01:00.680 --> 1:01:03.120 be to our detriment. It's gonna be to our detriment. See, 1:01:03.120 --> 1:01:05.480 I don't think none of this stuff is funny. That's 1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:07.040 why I don't get in games. I'm gonna tell you 1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:09.600 something come from the heart of racism, my love black people, 1:01:09.960 --> 1:01:12.680 because all that's all we got. We gotta click up, 1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:15.680 We have to click up. We had to stick together. 1:01:15.720 --> 1:01:17.680 We would get our ask for and then and then 1:01:17.720 --> 1:01:20.400 people ain't weak. It's not like you're thinking they're weak 1:01:20.400 --> 1:01:23.720 because they can get the swow. They're doing everything, They're 1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:27.200 going to shooting rings.

Already investigated and find 1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:23.560 out what happened. Five weeks ago, a federal agent called 1:05:23.600 --> 1:05:25.440 my son, because we have the same name, my son's 1:05:25.440 --> 1:05:30.440 career military A wrong person. My son called me and 1:05:30.480 --> 1:05:32.160 gave me the guy a number. So I called the 1:05:32.320 --> 1:05:35.600 FBI just make sure that this was legitimate, and then 1:05:35.640 --> 1:05:38.439 I contacted Asian. I hung up and called back. This 1:05:38.520 --> 1:05:41.800 man said, I have firearms that when I initially was 1:05:41.840 --> 1:05:43.959 called that doesn't have nothing. They cleaned cleaning the border 1:05:44.000 --> 1:05:46.240 hell and that I can come get my firewarms. And say, man, 1:05:46.240 --> 1:05:48.960 I'm on federal probation. What you talking about? He said, 1:05:49.160 --> 1:05:53.680 we're cleaning up. We're cleaning up and closing old cases, 1:05:54.000 --> 1:05:57.080 and on your case, we recovered these firearms that were 1:05:57.080 --> 1:06:00.480 brand new, never been fired. I said, man, fuck, you 1:06:00.920 --> 1:06:03.000 go to hill, don't call me no more. So I 1:06:03.040 --> 1:06:05.760 called someone I know and they said, yeah, they wanted 1:06:05.760 --> 1:06:07.000 you to come pick up them guns, and they was 1:06:07.000 --> 1:06:08.360 gonna wait for you and lock you up and give 1:06:08.400 --> 1:06:12.480 you an exceleible firewarms even though they were my guns 1:06:13.520 --> 1:06:17.160 that I had bought under dubious circumstances. But they were 1:06:17.160 --> 1:06:19.960 cleaning in the boarder, healthy, weren't stolen, and they were 1:06:19.960 --> 1:06:22.080 the guns that I initially, because he described him, I 1:06:22.080 --> 1:06:24.360 initially had in two thousand three when I caught this case. 1:06:24.520 --> 1:06:26.400 How so yeah, you want to lock me up? How 1:06:26.480 --> 1:06:29.040 dare you? Because I was preaching a message on certain 1:06:29.040 --> 1:06:31.480 platforms or telling the kids, man, don't be me. Man, 1:06:32.120 --> 1:06:33.680 you can be this man. You could be a cold 1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:35.920 you could be a truck driver, you could be an engineer. 1:06:36.160 --> 1:06:38.520 You can go start off making eighteen dollars nineteen dollars 1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:40.360 hours doing this. And I was pushing that line for 1:06:40.360 --> 1:06:43.320 two weeks on certain platforms and of from the FIS 1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:48.480 to come pick up guns. So you fit the criteria. 1:06:49.040 --> 1:06:52.640 And I mean every Mexican black white would understand what 1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:56.160 I'm saying. Every black man that had a voice or 1:06:56.280 --> 1:06:59.760 has a voice of today, they have locked up. So 1:07:00.080 --> 1:07:02.280 they came to hear that voice no more. Either they 1:07:02.320 --> 1:07:06.120 locked you up or killed you. So it's not healthy 1:07:06.200 --> 1:07:10.760 for a black man to to have knowledge and speak 1:07:11.080 --> 1:07:15.640 what's true. And people followed. Name a black man that 1:07:15.720 --> 1:07:18.760 didn't have that knowledge from start with Martin Luther King 1:07:19.440 --> 1:07:23.280 before him. Look where they at. No, I'm gonna tell 1:07:23.320 --> 1:07:26.280 you exactly, and I'm gonna keep on saying that man, 1:07:26.360 --> 1:07:29.800 there are forces at work that won't a lock, that 1:07:29.960 --> 1:07:32.280 won't both of y'all lock back up, not just y'all 1:07:32.560 --> 1:07:36.040 me If they could. I don't have no record, don't 1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:39.000 have one cluing cleaning the bill of health. I have 1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:41.240 never I don't have no smug on my name. You 1:07:41.320 --> 1:07:43.960 can't see because I've never been involved nothing. Stuff I did, 1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:46.160 I gotta wait with have sense enough to stop doing 1:07:46.480 --> 1:07:49.040 when I did it right. I'm gonna tell you right 1:07:49.080 --> 1:07:51.120 now what's going on, man, And I'm gonna tell you 1:07:51.160 --> 1:07:53.640 all this right now. We are dealing with a lot 1:07:53.640 --> 1:07:58.560 of scary things right now. There are people, the forces 1:07:58.640 --> 1:08:02.959 at work that wanted, like I said, see people locked 1:08:03.000 --> 1:08:06.400 back up, right and see people destroy, see communities destroy, right, 1:08:07.000 --> 1:08:10.240 And it's a lot of our own that's in coclusion 1:08:10.280 --> 1:08:13.360 with these people. You have to read between the lines 1:08:13.360 --> 1:08:18.880 of stuff. The beginning of goddamn time, man, exactly when 1:08:18.880 --> 1:08:21.720 people putting you in positions to where you go to 1:08:21.840 --> 1:08:25.160 prison for the rest of your life, your people setting 1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:28.800 you up. You have your own homies want that bag 1:08:28.920 --> 1:08:31.920 you got that will take you life for that motherfucking bag. 1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:36.160 I ain't blaming the white motherfuckers for this ship. We 1:08:36.280 --> 1:08:40.000 heard ourselves. So what we gotta do is be reconditioned 1:08:40.880 --> 1:08:44.400 to understand what we're doing to each other. You feel 1:08:44.400 --> 1:08:48.000 me and social media just made it even worser because 1:08:48.040 --> 1:08:51.160 they say, do this to that motherfucker, speak on this 1:08:51.320 --> 1:08:55.599 and bam and then you get paid for you See, 1:08:55.720 --> 1:08:57.599 I'm gonna tell you what it is. I'm gonna tell 1:08:57.600 --> 1:09:00.479 you what it is, James. We have to to reach 1:09:00.520 --> 1:09:05.000 the young because a lot of us have been programmed 1:09:05.040 --> 1:09:07.120 already the way we funked up some of these dudes 1:09:07.200 --> 1:09:10.960 that's forty five, fifty years old, they've already been programmed 1:09:11.080 --> 1:09:14.800 a certain way, so they're useless to the cause, right, 1:09:14.840 --> 1:09:16.880 So we have to start with the younger people and 1:09:16.960 --> 1:09:20.160 invest our time and resources in the youth. Knowing what 1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:24.040 but you would see now we're about to be argumentative. 1:09:24.960 --> 1:09:32.439 What you're saying, I hear you. But the youngsters grew 1:09:32.520 --> 1:09:35.240 up of seeing the ship that we did, the chaos 1:09:35.400 --> 1:09:38.360 that we did. Now, I mind you, I got nephews 1:09:38.720 --> 1:09:41.760 and shouldn't never been gang bangers, but they are with 1:09:41.960 --> 1:09:46.000 it because of something can start because of what they see. 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:50.240 Some some cats start because of what they heard. Some 1:09:50.360 --> 1:09:55.040 cats start because of my uncle. My cousin was this nigga. 1:09:56.479 --> 1:09:58.680 So they got all different types of reasons why they 1:09:58.720 --> 1:10:02.719 start this goddamn ship. But to be programming. They really 1:10:02.760 --> 1:10:05.280 got to see what the fun is going on and 1:10:05.320 --> 1:10:07.559 what bride Dog is telling you. Don't wait till you 1:10:07.680 --> 1:10:13.960 get my age pitcher. These little niggas gotta see the 1:10:14.360 --> 1:10:18.400 struggle bride Dog. The ship that Marm James went to 1:10:18.520 --> 1:10:22.759 to be James McDonald, I'm an old motherfucker that wouldn't 1:10:22.760 --> 1:10:26.360 even say other or say the word God, because I 1:10:26.439 --> 1:10:28.760 believe that was a sign of weakness in my ship. 1:10:29.920 --> 1:10:34.120 I couldn't be uh contradict myself going to church, but 1:10:34.240 --> 1:10:37.400 getting out there with my pistols show that motherfucker's so 1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:41.560 I couldn't live that life. It was only one motherfucking 1:10:41.560 --> 1:10:46.400 world I was in. But until you realize what were 1:10:46.400 --> 1:10:47.960 you in? Like I told you, I ain't been to 1:10:48.040 --> 1:10:51.880 prison in thirty three years, thirty four motherfucking years, because 1:10:51.920 --> 1:10:57.160 I understood in prison what the old cast was telling me. Nigga, 1:10:57.160 --> 1:11:00.559 don't get out there and disrespect your mama. Do whoof 1:11:00.600 --> 1:11:04.000 the whoop? Because one fuck up gonna bring you back 1:11:04.000 --> 1:11:07.679 in here. And every bitch that I had that said, 1:11:07.720 --> 1:11:10.840 don't negat you will be back in prison.

Now, mind you, to day I 1:11:20.120 --> 1:11:23.360 walked out of prison and came home. She'll Night was 1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:26.640 at my motherfucking door. They're got my set up right 1:11:26.680 --> 1:11:29.040 there they go. They would have dip away my motherfucking 1:11:29.080 --> 1:11:33.040 dog right there, and I'm fighting people. I'm jumping on 1:11:33.160 --> 1:11:38.360 motherfucker's I could have easily went back to prison, but 1:11:38.439 --> 1:11:41.720 when I when the light bulb went off. Fuck this. 1:11:43.080 --> 1:11:45.559 It's better ways than doing this than just being up 1:11:45.560 --> 1:11:49.519 front out there like that. You're going back to prison now. 1:11:49.600 --> 1:11:53.760 The pheasants in our ship because she'd Night don't listen. See, 1:11:53.760 --> 1:11:56.680 we gotta understand and stop blaming everybody else for our 1:11:56.720 --> 1:12:00.519 bullshit and be accountable for what we do. I ain't know. 1:12:00.520 --> 1:12:02.760 I ain't worried about what that nag could do, but 1:12:02.880 --> 1:12:05.880 be accountable for our ship. And I don't give a 1:12:05.920 --> 1:12:10.280 funk what the nigga say about James McDonald, But Mom, 1:12:10.400 --> 1:12:15.200 James got me to this point. Fucking in your ass, nigga, 1:12:15.400 --> 1:12:17.439 if you felt that way, you got twenty years and 1:12:17.520 --> 1:12:21.759 fun with me. Now I would have I could accept 1:12:21.800 --> 1:12:26.000 all this bullshit, my nigga, if I'm living that life, 1:12:26.600 --> 1:12:29.320 if I'm in the streets called me a motherfucker rat 1:12:29.360 --> 1:12:34.160 while I'm a gang member, I dare you.

But if you 1:12:40.840 --> 1:12:42.760 want the war and you want to smoke what they 1:12:42.800 --> 1:12:46.240 called it today, let's do that. Let's do that. Let's 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:48.759 be gang bankers. I'm a gang banker. I'm a predator, 1:12:49.640 --> 1:12:51.320 so I could have I could come at you, and 1:12:51.320 --> 1:12:54.559 I can accept this ship because I'm in the hood. 1:12:55.560 --> 1:12:58.040 Now you gotta Now, you gotta be that nigger. But 1:12:58.120 --> 1:13:00.800 what I'm saying is, man, we gotta attended to our 1:13:00.800 --> 1:13:03.760 own bullshit and and we gotta be accountable for what 1:13:03.800 --> 1:13:07.760 we do. That's when we're gonna if we don't get 1:13:07.800 --> 1:13:10.000 if we don't think like that, and we don't get better, 1:13:10.479 --> 1:13:12.880 like like what's going. He wanted to tear down every 1:13:12.960 --> 1:13:18.360 nigger that is becoming a household name, every man that's 1:13:18.400 --> 1:13:21.519 becoming a household name. Like Bright Dog said, he ain't 1:13:21.560 --> 1:13:23.960 doing Messican his white boys and whoo the whoo whoo, 1:13:24.560 --> 1:13:30.599 He's doing his own people that they have that same struggle, 1:13:30.720 --> 1:13:36.640 this struggle that he's in right now, James, I'm like 1:13:36.720 --> 1:13:40.479 this man, A first can fix themouth to say anything right. 1:13:40.760 --> 1:13:42.360 I was in the fans man, I read the Homies 1:13:42.400 --> 1:13:45.719 paperwork right, and if I had to go to nobody 1:13:45.760 --> 1:13:48.000 got through on my watch, you know, like that. But 1:13:48.200 --> 1:13:50.559 the point I'm making is people could throw all kinds 1:13:50.560 --> 1:13:52.800 of things around, but you have nothing to substantiated. Okay, 1:13:52.800 --> 1:13:55.280 I waited twenty years to come home to bring paperwork 1:13:55.320 --> 1:13:57.840 home on one of my homeboards from my hood, and 1:13:57.880 --> 1:13:59.400 I brought it home and I gave it to the Homies. 1:14:00.040 --> 1:14:02.679 He had three secret meetings. So when the person make allegations, 1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:04.639 if you don't have nothing to back it up, you file, 1:14:04.840 --> 1:14:07.360 not the individual, you're file. So I don't bite it 1:14:07.400 --> 1:14:09.680 to that kind of stuff. But the thing thing that 1:14:09.680 --> 1:14:12.080 that that pisses me off, that just piss me off, 1:14:12.800 --> 1:14:16.519 is we constantly you on social media and attack good dudes. 1:14:17.200 --> 1:14:19.680 We constantly you on social media and attack dudes.

I don't know. Nobody is always bragging about money. 1:14:37.439 --> 1:14:38.920 They have a set for a broke person or person 1:14:38.920 --> 1:14:42.000 who's never had money. Seeing I'm gonna tell you what 1:14:42.040 --> 1:14:46.640 the problem it was. Man. The whole Internet is an illusion, right, 1:14:47.439 --> 1:14:50.559 it's allusion. People look at it for entertainment. Um, A 1:14:50.600 --> 1:14:52.600 lot of these stories that we hear are frogs and 1:14:52.680 --> 1:14:55.240 name I'm talking about even though major outlets, like when 1:14:55.280 --> 1:14:58.280 you see these things about somebody sitting with a cartail leader, 1:14:58.600 --> 1:15:00.880 there's nobody in the mixing tell this is gonna let 1:15:00.880 --> 1:15:03.200 you come down and interview him and put blindfolds on 1:15:03.280 --> 1:15:05.559 you and ship all that ship it's fake. Sure, Like 1:15:05.600 --> 1:15:07.200 we gotta start waking up and look at it what 1:15:07.240 --> 1:15:09.800 it is. If those people are very covert and the 1:15:09.800 --> 1:15:12.799 way they move, they're not gonna take you today, especially 1:15:12.840 --> 1:15:14.680 down there mix so they're not gonna let you come 1:15:14.720 --> 1:15:17.760 to guy picks down and stuff is fake.

Right, Yeah, we believe everything that we see, right, 1:15:24.880 --> 1:15:28.960 we leave everything that we see. Now you have to 1:15:28.960 --> 1:15:32.360 look at the situation for what it is right. All 1:15:32.439 --> 1:15:36.000 of these guys are being entertained right now, right everybody 1:15:36.120 --> 1:15:39.000 is about the entertainment.

What we what we need to 1:15:44.240 --> 1:15:45.800 do is we need to wake up and smell the 1:15:45.880 --> 1:15:50.320 motherfucking coffee. See. Another thing we need to do is 1:15:50.320 --> 1:15:52.960 those guys that are advocating all his madness about us, 1:15:53.320 --> 1:15:55.400 we need to expose him for who they are sort 1:15:55.439 --> 1:15:57.200 of public and just like, okay, I can't deal with 1:15:57.280 --> 1:15:59.360 him because of what he is, because when you look 1:15:59.400 --> 1:16:01.599 at him, man, this is what each me of. Man. 1:16:01.800 --> 1:16:05.160 This platform should have millions of viewers to me, because 1:16:05.160 --> 1:16:08.120 this is a platform by us for us. It doesn't 1:16:08.120 --> 1:16:10.080 just speak on the former lifestyles that we let speak 1:16:10.080 --> 1:16:12.639 on the variety of topics. It speaks on positivity, speaks 1:16:12.640 --> 1:16:15.400 on things in our community. Right, But they get pens 1:16:15.400 --> 1:16:18.400 who would take if we allowed it, if we were reactionaries, 1:16:18.439 --> 1:16:20.840 if we were functioning your literas.

We got games that you don't know how 1:19:02.520 --> 1:19:05.280 to play and take it too a whole different level. Well, 1:19:05.400 --> 1:19:08.200 some of these catt is getting the picture because some 1:19:08.280 --> 1:19:10.840 of these youngsters is going to jail for a high 1:19:10.840 --> 1:19:13.640 one and when they see they ain't coming home.

I think a lot of these 1:19:20.479 --> 1:19:25.439 junctions need to watch first forts. Yeah. I think a 1:19:25.439 --> 1:19:28.240 lot of these little cats they need to start thinking 1:19:28.280 --> 1:19:33.120 like this, what if you have so many neighborhoods out 1:19:33.120 --> 1:19:36.880 here and all of these cats just ceasing the funk 1:19:36.960 --> 1:19:39.880 shooting at each other. Put the guns down to just people, 1:19:39.880 --> 1:19:42.760 all these neighborhoods, and motherfucker is able to go and 1:19:42.840 --> 1:19:45.800 do what they do instead of have to sneak through 1:19:45.800 --> 1:19:48.840 and slide through. And just think where we would be 1:19:49.479 --> 1:19:53.040 how easier it is to make money and for ness 1:19:53.920 --> 1:19:58.920 should have you got a dispensary that stops all street 1:19:58.960 --> 1:20:01.720 sales of Maryjuan of right, they can go to the 1:20:01.760 --> 1:20:05.200 dispensary and do it. Craig Okain ain't going to where 1:20:05.240 --> 1:20:08.160 it used to go, So your hustle is pretty much 1:20:08.200 --> 1:20:11.840 fucked up right now to day. That's why home invasions 1:20:11.920 --> 1:20:14.760 and snatching, grab and all that ship is working the day. 1:20:15.120 --> 1:20:19.160 It just took it to a different level that youngsters 1:20:19.240 --> 1:20:23.920 of the day of making money. It has it's changed, 1:20:24.000 --> 1:20:26.680 we all know that, but just imagine that if we 1:20:26.680 --> 1:20:28.680 didn't have to go through that bullshit. And you can 1:20:28.720 --> 1:20:31.559 take this social media ship and use it for some 1:20:31.640 --> 1:20:35.360 rude ship, just like you were saying, we're not thinking 1:20:35.800 --> 1:20:38.600 where it worked best for it, Brian. We think it 1:20:40.160 --> 1:20:42.439 that quick buck, but so many of them. You on 1:20:42.520 --> 1:20:45.679 five different drugs, man, I've watched them take a Zanni bar, 1:20:46.560 --> 1:20:51.839 an ecstasy pill, a Molly deeper stick, smoke a blunt 1:20:52.080 --> 1:20:55.559 and drink some honey and say I'm cool. Now they 1:20:55.640 --> 1:20:59.040 want all the same time. And then they used the meth, 1:20:59.320 --> 1:21:02.360 the European drug. All so many brothers on that, and 1:21:02.400 --> 1:21:04.120 now they started to mess with the hero because they're 1:21:04.160 --> 1:21:06.600 going from the Zandy bar, which is a downer, to 1:21:06.720 --> 1:21:09.240 the hero. I've seen this, and we were on the 1:21:09.240 --> 1:21:12.719 generation synthetic drugs. But it's not taking nothing from because 1:21:12.720 --> 1:21:15.000 I smoked sum. I don't judge nobody. I smoked cigarets 1:21:15.040 --> 1:21:16.920 for thirty four years. I smoke sere in eighteen years. 1:21:17.240 --> 1:21:18.960 I spoke five packs of camels a day in my 1:21:19.040 --> 1:21:21.720 last two years of smoking. You know that was a 1:21:21.840 --> 1:21:24.920 hundred cigrettes the day I smoked. You know. So, I'm 1:21:24.920 --> 1:21:26.960 just saying that we live in a generation is so 1:21:26.960 --> 1:21:29.559 screwed up. Yeah, we dropped the ball, but with I 1:21:29.600 --> 1:21:31.880 tried to explain the generation. Yes, we had all the 1:21:31.880 --> 1:21:33.920 shootings in the eighties, but a lot of people think 1:21:33.920 --> 1:21:35.639 it was because you were blood and I'm a creepy. 1:21:35.760 --> 1:21:38.360 Wasn't that? It was if you had the riety. Nobody 1:21:38.400 --> 1:21:44.840 can encroach on your game right out from that, you know, 1:21:46.120 --> 1:21:52.880 right there, they part you out. I know mine it 1:21:52.920 --> 1:21:54.760 went out a couple of times. My internet went out, 1:21:54.760 --> 1:22:01.519 but I was good to kept your going. I'm signed, man, Yeah, 1:22:01.520 --> 1:22:03.320 I cut my phone off. But all I'm just saying, 1:22:03.320 --> 1:22:05.120 like in the eighties, everybody thought we were shooting a 1:22:05.120 --> 1:22:07.360 bank bang. They don't understand if the Carver Parks are 1:22:07.360 --> 1:22:10.280 constantly shooting up everybody over here, that's meaning you can't 1:22:10.320 --> 1:22:12.120 come two blocks into our territory over the up a 1:22:12.200 --> 1:22:15.400 rock house. It's no longer like that it was. It 1:22:15.520 --> 1:22:18.120 was emulate the old What did the old gangsters do 1:22:18.200 --> 1:22:20.920 that we all want to emulate. They shot up territories 1:22:20.920 --> 1:22:23.160 to keep them dudes from selling bootleg on Fifth Street 1:22:23.360 --> 1:22:25.599 when they're down there from fifth Street to fifteen Street. 1:22:25.600 --> 1:22:27.280 They don't want the twenty first streets to come from 1:22:27.320 --> 1:22:30.519 fifteenth to fourteenth to take their territory. That's the eighties 1:22:30.560 --> 1:22:32.600 was about. People think it was a gang bang, and 1:22:32.600 --> 1:22:34.959 I think yes it was, but it was a criminal structure. 1:22:35.200 --> 1:22:38.000 Now there's really no criminal structure left because the drug 1:22:38.040 --> 1:22:42.800 added coach. Right. And it's our job though to say 1:22:42.840 --> 1:22:45.720 what we're saying on these platforms. But the point out that, hey, man, 1:22:46.080 --> 1:22:48.240 you're gonna be that hero went attic in two years, 1:22:49.880 --> 1:22:55.479 You be that method fetter me the head in two years.
