Speaker 1: say this norm Everything that we talked about is like
Speaker 1: it's a revolving door. We haven't all been through this
Speaker 1: ship before. If you live in the hood, comes from

Speaker 1: their grandparents that raised them. We don't seeing the shootings
Speaker 1: We've don't see uh, we don't seeing all this ship

Speaker 1: It's these white boys picking up the pistols and doing
Speaker 1: this ship. It's it's just got out of hand. Should

Speaker 1: I remember a time, man, if you went outside, you know,
Speaker 1: you and your friends with customer something, you saw somebody's
Speaker 1: grandparents and parents. You kind of just, you know, be
Speaker 1: quiet until they want about their business. You had a
Speaker 1: certain amount of respect that you gave. And it's not
Speaker 1: like that no more. They don't give a damn no right.
Speaker 1: I don't get tell her better than better than anybody

Speaker 1: to buck right and I had to explain politely to
Speaker 1: him what can happen to him? And he just looked
Speaker 1: at me funny, but he stopped doing what he was
Speaker 1: doing because he had bad habit calling me. I don't
Speaker 1: use them word. He had a bad habit to call me.
Speaker 1: Uh No, I'm just saying my nig And I'm like,

Speaker 1: utilize the profanity, butthern that he don't use it with me?
Speaker 1: You know, bro, You know, we're going to go back
Speaker 1: to your history because you definitely are an authority on
Speaker 1: this type of stuff, because you change your life around
Speaker 1: in many different aspects, you know, And I want to
Speaker 1: kind of go back to the beginning, and you're from
Speaker 1: the city of Compton, true city of Compton. Um. You
Speaker 1: just found out one of my good friends, one of
Speaker 1: me and James good friends, Bob, is your first blood cousin. Cousin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in your cousin. So I said, wild man, that's it's funny. Man.
Speaker 1: Good dude, man, really good dude. Small world, small world,
Speaker 1: extremely small man. Norm in Vegas when I was in
Speaker 1: Vegas on the bike set and we was at a
Speaker 1: club and we was gambling. So I'm kind of like
Speaker 1: punking everybody at the table if I if I saved
Speaker 1: out of my crap, No think I don't want no craps.
Speaker 1: Bob to tell you, Brian, and he had me faded
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, I'm gonna And the first
Speaker 1: question I said, I said, man, where are you from? God,
Speaker 1: we can't do me like that, big homies. But he
Speaker 1: already knew who I wasn't even to do me like that,
Speaker 1: big home. And you had to respect him because he
Speaker 1: was the only one at the table that that man
Speaker 1: d up on this ship. Me and that litt nigga
Speaker 1: bed one hundred every since he didn't seen it all.
Speaker 1: He didn't see me bend niggas over the table, nigga
Speaker 1: watching the bitch where watching wood the woo woo, nigga.
Speaker 1: Don't talk like that, nigga. You want to talk to
Speaker 1: the business like that. But this is what I can
Speaker 1: do to you type of ship. So one of his people,
Speaker 1: a cat that was just on one at my clubhouse.
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't have didn't tolerate that BS ship
Speaker 1: the bike set, you know, and where with my club
Speaker 1: it was just like being one hunting. So this cat
Speaker 1: failed rest in peace. Money felt that he can disrespect
Speaker 1: one of my sisters. Mhm, come on mon. They then
Speaker 1: you already know we don't get down like that. And
Speaker 1: he was an l a cat. And when he got there,
Speaker 1: I said and checked this out. I think you're using
Speaker 1: the B word too much. If you won't, I can
Speaker 1: treat you like And he was like what what what? What? What?
Speaker 1: He thought the whole cript card was gonna be behind him,
Speaker 1: which it wasn't about no bloods and crips. This is
Speaker 1: respect and being on the bike set. So he he
Speaker 1: had me when no no point of return down, I
Speaker 1: gotta became, okay, you called the first bluff. Now what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do with this one. So I had to
Speaker 1: bend the nig over the table, lift his legs up
Speaker 1: and say down to the bitch. You know. So he
Speaker 1: thought bombing them was spending to come in and just
Speaker 1: saved the day. You know, it wouldn't happened like that. Bob,
Speaker 1: my niggah. But this acts as him. But he Okay,
Speaker 1: it's just the respect that I have for for Bob
Speaker 1: that out of all of those niggas to be his age,
Speaker 1: you would think he was way much older than what
Speaker 1: he is. The way you carry yourself, feel me. So
Speaker 1: everybody and their mom on the bike said respect him
Speaker 1: because he didn't act like a youngster. He act like
Speaker 1: like he'd been here before, you know before everybody time
Speaker 1: he was on that level. So number of respect to Bob.
Speaker 1: That's my little nigga, and he just Mom, James, I
Speaker 1: knew you before you thought I knew you, Bob James,
Speaker 1: and I had like, what you know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: that ironic? Hey, James, is it ironic that I said
Speaker 1: the same thing to your Texas that your proceeded to
Speaker 1: me meeting you? And yeah, it's crazy we met in Texas,
Speaker 1: but you know, on something on something Okay, let's hollow
Speaker 1: whoop the whoop at certain a certain individual. And it
Speaker 1: was okay, we could do that. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, come to niggas getting at this nigga, because no,
Speaker 1: I don't. I ain't even got time to get that
Speaker 1: nigga that type of energy. You feel me. We know
Speaker 1: who we're talking about. Niggas know what Texas was about.
Speaker 1: So even though Brian wasn't there at that when that happened,
Speaker 1: his name was still in it just because and and
Speaker 1: and it was crazy because when Brian came to the campsite,
Speaker 1: he didn't show up at all. He figured he was
Speaker 1: to be attacked then, so ship went to where it went.
Speaker 1: But anyway, let's get to where we had. I'm just
Speaker 1: giving people a little history or Mr Bride. And when
Speaker 1: I first talked to him, his conversation, his intellect was okay, man,
Speaker 1: just just do right here and know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: And he was to come to do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So the way he was talking with straight
Speaker 1: facts and okay, this is whoop whoop. So here enlightened
Speaker 1: the little homie even from even though I'm from the
Speaker 1: other side, I'm a little homie. I gotta respect all
Speaker 1: and give respect where all is do. So I'm listening
Speaker 1: to him and then it's bamed. So we was good
Speaker 1: every sense. Then every sense like this reputation proceeded. You know,
Speaker 1: I just put it like this. In our former lifestyles,
Speaker 1: we have high percentile rate. We was engaged in the
Speaker 1: same senselessness as I called it now and uh he
Speaker 1: was one of them guys that was yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: just put it right back, you know, in our former lifestyles,
Speaker 1: right and as I always said, uh, in the rivalry
Speaker 1: of worthy adversary. Yeah, so you're from the of course,
Speaker 1: carbon Park. We said it Carber Park. Let's talk to
Speaker 1: the people a little bit about you. The younger you.
Speaker 1: The younger me was out of his mind. The younger
Speaker 1: me was, as I often say, I got it right here.
Speaker 1: I often say this to people, man, and they don't
Speaker 1: understand this. I went from from which is right here,
Speaker 1: a twenty nine page rap sheet right here, two college
Speaker 1: degrees right here. But the younger me was an individual
Speaker 1: who I just read it slightly. It's just one little
Speaker 1: segment I'm gonna read. The younger mean was a guy
Speaker 1: who they said, uh, we have federal authority saying, with
Speaker 1: a ridiculously horrific, horrible, gangbanging, evil member of society that
Speaker 1: Mr Berkeley is. It's my transcripts. So they said about
Speaker 1: the court based on the younger me, like I said,
Speaker 1: being out of his mind, as I say, because based
Speaker 1: on once again, I was a guy that was a
Speaker 1: shooter shooter. I was a guy that lived to shoot
Speaker 1: that pistol. Because I wasn't the world's great in spider.
Speaker 1: I didn't duct wreck. I just you know, basically they
Speaker 1: called me aftermath. It was like you whooped too, and
Speaker 1: then I'd be over there to see you guys on
Speaker 1: my moped. You know. I was a guy that unfortunately
Speaker 1: this is all paperwork pertaining the meat from young people.
Speaker 1: But I gave you because as I got I got
Speaker 1: a bullet in my stomach necking back as a result
Speaker 1: of where I lived. You know, this doctor reports it
Speaker 1: says anytime Paroley comes home, he's an immediate danger to
Speaker 1: the society right here to the community. You know, So
Speaker 1: on paper I was I even deturable, and I was
Speaker 1: a dude that lived for the set. I was a
Speaker 1: gang bangers, gang banger. I was well just called the
Speaker 1: elitis I was a top shoot unfortunately, so you know
Speaker 1: that was me in the background. My neighborhood is the
Speaker 1: oldest Cript gang in Compton, were the first crypt gang
Speaker 1: in Compton, followed by the Grannies and Booth Hill. So
Speaker 1: and I've been from my neighborhoodver forty years. So I'm
Speaker 1: just a product of my environment. As far as my
Speaker 1: senseless legacy, as I called it now right dog, You're
Speaker 1: witness it is now. When the Tenants was the only
Speaker 1: crypt gang that was surrounded by the Bloods, I mean
Speaker 1: they right in the heart of everything. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. If you come from this in the Rosecrans,
Speaker 1: you got through town trees, you got all the Bloods,
Speaker 1: west sides and everything coming back towards the mild Bluesst
Speaker 1: Park Day in the middle Alm Street, in the middle
Speaker 1: of everything. Do you think they was the coldest uh
Speaker 1: Cript sector because they survived being in the trenches. I've
Speaker 1: always said, in order for the Tennis to hold on
Speaker 1: the Rosecrans, they had to be the top Cripts on
Speaker 1: that side of the town. And that's not taking nothing
Speaker 1: from the neighborhoods the South's to Kelly's right, It's just
Speaker 1: stayed in the fact to survive and and we're gonna
Speaker 1: keep it one hundred from my perspective, and you can
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Prior to the mob clicking
Speaker 1: off on itself in the Losis Park mob and the
Speaker 1: Loosest Park, that was the dominant set over there that
Speaker 1: was given five cript gangs the Blues on a regular
Speaker 1: and consistent basis. And anybody did that say different, I
Speaker 1: tell them to their face, man, I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: to Blue Smoke, nobody really, I'm staying in the compt
Speaker 1: In fact, on that side of the town, Loss Park,
Speaker 1: not Am, not Holly, not Line, not Cross Atlantic, Lotis Park,
Speaker 1: and Losis Park mob slashed. The mob was the ones.
Speaker 1: The reason why every crypt set over there looked at
Speaker 1: every quarter came through. Well back then, everybody Picky backed
Speaker 1: off of Louters Park, so he had a variety of
Speaker 1: somebody from every hood that was with it, but represented
Speaker 1: do this park. They wouldn't representing Almas and Holly and
Speaker 1: and all of that. It was. They was representing Louters Park.
Speaker 1: So louds part pretty much was what I called the
Speaker 1: the mothership. Yeah, or went to prison. I didn't represent
Speaker 1: the mob. I represented Louds Park because I grew up
Speaker 1: knowing where it all started from. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do in the mob thing. I know where
Speaker 1: I'm from. But all of this here is it steals
Speaker 1: from Looters. So everybody over there, basically Louders got credit
Speaker 1: for a lot of it because everybody was, in my eyes,
Speaker 1: Looters until. You know, even though everybody you have different
Speaker 1: branches of neighborhoods, everybody used Looters Park. So a lot
Speaker 1: of backlasds came because everybody was using and saying it
Speaker 1: was from loss. So the majority of the older guys
Speaker 1: such as myself, I'm damning in sixty. I know y'all
Speaker 1: older than me, but we're going to Prisson representing Looters Park,
Speaker 1: not their hoods. Yeah, so definitely, And like like you said,
Speaker 1: you have the town of the town of held their
Speaker 1: own and they had to have been a strong neighborhood
Speaker 1: in order the whole thing on because they'd only crips
Speaker 1: that on rosecrans. You know, I got nominally in itself.
Speaker 1: So many cats were mad at me because you know,
Speaker 1: I gave props what process was due, and just because
Speaker 1: I was being or I was from where I was from.
Speaker 1: You can't sit there in line and say, oh no,
Speaker 1: those niggas was whoo whoo. Why are they're still there there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you have to call the spade to spade
Speaker 1: saying you know, h like I said, like even when
Speaker 1: I was coming up, man, dudes say you from We're
Speaker 1: not Eastly because we was a small gang, but it
Speaker 1: was an old gang at that time. Now we're a
Speaker 1: large gang and they say you from where, ain't your
Speaker 1: bounty hunters like now? But it was a core group
Speaker 1: of us that fended off the bounty hunters, And the
Speaker 1: bounty hunts always say, man, the Corbor parks, they helped
Speaker 1: their part down. Even though in my generation we was
Speaker 1: out number ten to one. We was born un you know,
Speaker 1: so you have to give props with problems to all
Speaker 1: old hunters. Say it in Carbor Parks. Yeah, they held
Speaker 1: their own. And it's the same thing with you guys
Speaker 1: in the towns. You have to give props problems to.
Speaker 1: That's why I say worthy adversaries in that former lifestyle
Speaker 1: of ours. Right, So let's go back to where we
Speaker 1: was at. Why are you growing up and doing and
Speaker 1: everybody recognizing you as who you was, are, your reputation
Speaker 1: perceived itself, going to the first going to prison. At
Speaker 1: some point you felt you had to change your life
Speaker 1: because right dog would have got the virtual Criminal Act
Speaker 1: at some point. Yeah, what made you figure out that, Man,
Speaker 1: I gotta make this ship work for myself? Well, what
Speaker 1: happened with me? I'm gonna be honest, man, You know,
Speaker 1: I was still engaged in certain aspects of the streets.
Speaker 1: And then in I'm at a computer at computers in
Speaker 1: the Fens, and they said called home a SAP. And
Speaker 1: I turned to look at this dude named Darnell d
Speaker 1: Nice from a setting in the North Long Beach, and
Speaker 1: I said, Damn, this is you know, this is my
Speaker 1: exact words from Damn, because Darnell did and he said,
Speaker 1: who was darning? I said, my son, I said, read
Speaker 1: the email. He said, all they say is called home
Speaker 1: a SAP. So I called home and my nephew said, man,
Speaker 1: d got killed last night, And I just knew that
Speaker 1: was the catalyst to me, Like damn, my son followed
Speaker 1: in my footsteps and look where he had, you know,
Speaker 1: And so that that was the initiating me transformed in
Speaker 1: my life, you know. And then I start. You know,
Speaker 1: already had two collegian degrees, so I was in pursuit
Speaker 1: the more and I was like, man, I gotta make
Speaker 1: this ship work when I call home, you know, like
Speaker 1: I can't do this no more. Man, ain't no snitching
Speaker 1: in me, and I'm not gonna let him retire me
Speaker 1: on this. I can't double up my age. So that
Speaker 1: was the beginning, man, And then I just want to
Speaker 1: have got me a couple of more degrees. I already
Speaker 1: had a degree in social mediator science with another degree
Speaker 1: in business. So I went on and got a couple
Speaker 1: of more and was like that's what. That was my
Speaker 1: ground zero, man, you know, because it hit hard home.
Speaker 1: You know, he was my little homeboy from my neighborhood,
Speaker 1: which I didn't uh coldone. But what can you say?
Speaker 1: I was missing in action? Man? Yeah, no, let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. So you already had to turn
Speaker 1: in your mind that she was gonna change your life
Speaker 1: when you got on. And this is the eighties, are
Speaker 1: assuming right now? I went to the fans and O three. No.
Speaker 1: In the eighties, man, in the eighties, it was go
Speaker 1: home and get right back in and like put okay,
Speaker 1: So nothing I got that clear. So you came home
Speaker 1: to two thousand's, then I came home, I went I
Speaker 1: went to the Fens in two thousand three, and I
Speaker 1: came home last July. The ankle Braceley got took off
Speaker 1: my leg. Okay, so you just now getting back home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's been a little bit easier for you to
Speaker 1: stay on that positive road, because if you just got
Speaker 1: out in the eighties, then like you said, he's been
Speaker 1: hopping right back in. Okay, I went to I went
Speaker 1: to the joint when I was seventeen. Man, I got
Speaker 1: out of my mid twenties. I had a body then
Speaker 1: and I got out. I hit Solid Dad see four three,
Speaker 1: And then when I got out, there was the crack
Speaker 1: here and turtle recipes from Santana embraced me and I
Speaker 1: never looked back. But I was chronologically in my twenties,
Speaker 1: but mentally I was seventeen m And a lot of
Speaker 1: people say that. So by being the tracy Solid Dad
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, in the choice of seeing
Speaker 1: all the madness and particip of painting in the madness,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like like the gonna be band from
Speaker 1: front of I told Mellie Mayo, he said, the only
Speaker 1: thing I used to get mad about bright Organ Tracy Is.
Speaker 1: He volunteered for every mission. He wouldn't let nobody go
Speaker 1: on a mission. When it came to a confidence, you
Speaker 1: did I go, I got it, let me go ahead,
Speaker 1: let me go, let me go. That was one of them.
Speaker 1: I was a torpedo. So when I got out of prison,
Speaker 1: and it was a crack air. And then when I left,
Speaker 1: you got a barn. Mind it's twenty two rifles, thirty
Speaker 1: eight gauges and if you had it in one, you
Speaker 1: had the ship. And it was three fifty sevens and
Speaker 1: fot folks things of that nature. I come on, it's
Speaker 1: hecklers and its h ks' is a kss s ks
Speaker 1: it's And I was a shooter, so I was still
Speaker 1: mentally a child, but I was gang banging. So when
Speaker 1: I subsequently did a violation, I end up catching up
Speaker 1: some shootings and the cats they kept one. I got
Speaker 1: to give them their props. I love him for that.
Speaker 1: They said, we're not coming to court, We'll kill you
Speaker 1: on the streets. And I was like, okay, respect. You know.
Speaker 1: I was gang banging. So when when did my violation,
Speaker 1: I got ten days at the house and the dude
Speaker 1: bumped into me and didn't say excuse me. And I
Speaker 1: did what I had to do and picked up eighteen
Speaker 1: more months. Then when I got out of prison, it
Speaker 1: was like it's back on and true to their words,
Speaker 1: the cats shot me soon as I came home. They
Speaker 1: stuck to their word. I give the props, you know,
Speaker 1: Crisha'm off, you shout out to y'all, y'all shot me,
Speaker 1: you focus, But you know, but that was I was
Speaker 1: a gang banging, you know, and it was to me. Uh,
Speaker 1: I didn't give a funk about going back to jail.
Speaker 1: It became repetitive, but it didn't matter. I'm banging. Fuck
Speaker 1: this money. I'm going to shoot up every adversary of
Speaker 1: the core of reports and let him know I'm back.
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I did before. I was a
Speaker 1: gang bangers gangbanger, so I was completely lost in the sauce,
Speaker 1: as the saying goes, sure bus, sure bus, su bust
Speaker 1: shoot dice. So let me ask you this, since you've
Speaker 1: been on the right path, you see a lot of pipe.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand the mindset of what
Speaker 1: a real gang banger is and the ship that you do.
Speaker 1: And that's on both sides, whether your blood or corric
Speaker 1: And a lot of people get slacked when they they
Speaker 1: hear that you change your life or you live in
Speaker 1: a certain kind of way, and it starts, it stems
Speaker 1: from the hood. The homies don't understand or don't want
Speaker 1: to let go of the fact that you change your life.
Speaker 1: Did you have to deal with that? Well, I tell
Speaker 1: him like this, don't let the new me make you
Speaker 1: think that the old met don't exist. Trying me if
Speaker 1: you want to, that's just the bottom line, not threatening you.
Speaker 1: But I told you one this morning, I will never
Speaker 1: put myself and go back to prison lessons for self
Speaker 1: preservation or for the preservation of my family. M hm.
Speaker 1: So I will gladly go do a life sentence and
Speaker 1: you will be in a box forever. And I get
Speaker 1: pussy every ninety days because somebody gonna marry me and
Speaker 1: you will be in a box for every To defend
Speaker 1: myself from my family. Yeah, I made the transition from
Speaker 1: a gang banger to a gang member when I was
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, you know, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people from outside the United States to understand the transition,
Speaker 1: explain it to him. But the transition was this just
Speaker 1: a short synopsis. You're Piru and I'm a crypt and
Speaker 1: I'm selling drugs and you're on four and a half
Speaker 1: or you're gonna nine. At that time, I was selling
Speaker 1: nine for thirty two hundred. I got four children's mothers.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, I ain't gonna sell this pirum.
Speaker 1: Not here, pirrou for him, No, sir, rebob, we got bills.
Speaker 1: Give me that thirty two hundred. Take this nine piece
Speaker 1: to do it moving. That's when you make the transition
Speaker 1: from the gang banger to the gang member. When they
Speaker 1: looked at colors, that's when you become rocket. Rocket had
Speaker 1: his purse. He was selling Crip's work and he was
Speaker 1: doing him. So I became a rocket. Per se. Money
Speaker 1: is not presidented, doesn't care who owns it. And that's
Speaker 1: when I made the transition. Yet it was still activity
Speaker 1: going on in my environment, but where I was at
Speaker 1: it was an adversaries like that against me. So it
Speaker 1: was like I was the man. So who is the
Speaker 1: bride dog today? A dude to tell my story and
Speaker 1: try to give you a plain simple you know the
Speaker 1: truth at the end of it. You know, first off,
Speaker 1: the paraphrase one of the homeboys, not a lifestyles to
Speaker 1: death style. Tell you, dude, it ain't no successful gang members,
Speaker 1: bank robbers or drug dealers. You're only successful was your
Speaker 1: last acting. You gotta hope you don't get told on
Speaker 1: um the dude to tell dudes you know after telling
Speaker 1: my story, hopefully you understand. Don't be me and I
Speaker 1: just have I'll just say this to duse. Young dudes.
Speaker 1: If you're shooter, don't do a drive by. Go kill
Speaker 1: the top shooter that's supposed to be your rival. Blow
Speaker 1: his face off in front of God in the whole country.
Speaker 1: So then that way we don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: him killing a little shirl, or we don't have to
Speaker 1: kill killing Ms Johnson. You're gonna go to jail and
Speaker 1: get war stuff, so we killed two of you with
Speaker 1: one stone. You get our stuff. He's dead, so we
Speaker 1: ain't gotta worry aout. You'all shooting up the community. Get
Speaker 1: as much pussy as you can get. Leave some babies behind.
Speaker 1: Your mother and father could see a party of you.
Speaker 1: Learn how to masturbate when you get to the county
Speaker 1: jail staff as many people you can stabbs so your
Speaker 1: name or proceeds you when you get the prison and
Speaker 1: unless you get learned how to masturbate. But before you
Speaker 1: do any of that, go sit in your bathroom for
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. They're sitting there for another forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: The bathtub is your bump, the toilet is that, and
Speaker 1: the sink is your locker, and saying yourself, you'll be
Speaker 1: there for the rest of your life. That's my message.
Speaker 1: A lot of them can't do that. That what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you're describing to you is your living arrangements
Speaker 1: for however how many years you have in prison. That's
Speaker 1: that bathroom is yourself. That's just how big it is.
Speaker 1: That's what you're saying to you. So because you look
Speaker 1: at it like this, James and you and you're still great.
Speaker 1: Me something going on right now. This is whole society
Speaker 1: with a phone in their hands. If the phone don't
Speaker 1: get you, ring tone gonna get you, ring tone gonna
Speaker 1: get you, the Zandy bars, the ecstacy and everything else,
Speaker 1: because you're gonna run your mouth to the world, right
Speaker 1: and then as many cases as you see, you're go
Speaker 1: going to county jail and sitting at sitting and talk
Speaker 1: to your homeboy about what you allegedly did or none
Speaker 1: of you know the black sister on first forty eight snitches,
Speaker 1: but everybody from Tennessee go talk to her. So we
Speaker 1: in the generation dummies right the thirtday, right to remain
Speaker 1: signing because social media is pretty much putting us into jail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know the man of me today. Man, it's
Speaker 1: just I just try to let the du no man.
Speaker 1: Yes I am who I am. Yes I am from
Speaker 1: where I'm from, Okay, I said, Carving Parker is my foundation,
Speaker 1: But the galaxy, the world, the universe is my destination.
Speaker 1: I just try to tell you, don't be mean. Man.
Speaker 1: Don't live like I live. Man. Don't live like a
Speaker 1: barbarian man. Don't be I'm lucky to be. I've been
Speaker 1: shot eight times. I got shot in eighty six, eighty seven,
Speaker 1: eighty eight, ninety and ninety three. I am fortunate to
Speaker 1: be a lie. I got five bullets in me right now.
Speaker 1: I've lost my share phase of dude said last night
Speaker 1: on social media to responds to me like you dudes
Speaker 1: get on here and say you never lost no phase
Speaker 1: and never say what happened to you? Okay, homie, I'm
Speaker 1: not tough. The tough guys got to beat me up,
Speaker 1: the tough guys, the guy that shot me, the tough guys,
Speaker 1: the guy to stab me, the tough guys, the guy
Speaker 1: that ran me over them. The tough is not me.
Speaker 1: I didn't lost a gang of phase, so I don't
Speaker 1: get on social media like ro Ro ro rock, right,
Speaker 1: you know, I even rode cost the dudes. I mean
Speaker 1: one time nugget from Regel with me and he basically
Speaker 1: told me are we through? Like hell, yeah, we threw
Speaker 1: half yeah, you know, and and you explained it right there,
Speaker 1: you know, taking the hel on the on the head
Speaker 1: of faith. Don't make you no punk nigger and don't
Speaker 1: make you no bitch. So a lot of cats, the
Speaker 1: majority of them that get at that, can't take that.
Speaker 1: Hell come back shooting. Yeah, And that's the fun up
Speaker 1: part about it. If you must, you lost, But you
Speaker 1: always got that cat on your shoulder telling on the
Speaker 1: homies just got his ass who by whoo woo whoo
Speaker 1: and they laughing. So mentally I'm like thinking, like funk,
Speaker 1: I can't do this because the homies on one. So
Speaker 1: when you go back and the next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: you in prison because the same cat then told on
Speaker 1: you because you're committed murder. That's that's I go. Man.
Speaker 1: So you know today today the kids, man, they're giving
Speaker 1: them enhancements. Man, they are synthesis of a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty four years towards years we had twenty seven to
Speaker 1: life and that was that right, you know. So my message,
Speaker 1: like I said today, I'll be trying to just be
Speaker 1: on the message. Man. I don't glorify my past, but
Speaker 1: I use it as a as as a catalyst, as
Speaker 1: as as a bridge to telling dudes, what you're doing
Speaker 1: is a rerun to me. Man. Y'all the eighties, Man,
Speaker 1: the seventies was cool, but the eighties was that air
Speaker 1: where you hit a block, you'll see a thousand dudes
Speaker 1: flamed up with Puma dogs on, with big red shoe strings,
Speaker 1: with Philly jackets on. You hit another block, you'll see
Speaker 1: dudes with the blue and black Booma dogs on. What
Speaker 1: we call the New Yorker is a big shoe strings
Speaker 1: and everybody got on the New York jacket. It wasn't
Speaker 1: though this jack was for that did. Everybody were the
Speaker 1: New Yorkers, and everybody were the Phillies. And you had
Speaker 1: colors right, and you didn't have crips wearing red, and
Speaker 1: you didn't have blood wearing blue. If you did, it
Speaker 1: was a minimum, you know. And so this generation you
Speaker 1: can't even tell who's who. You know, acts and skinny
Speaker 1: jeans with cartoon characters. We had uniforms and we represented
Speaker 1: where we was from, right And that's just the truth
Speaker 1: of it. So they can't tell me it's a comparison. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's your world, and I wish they didn't game bang,
Speaker 1: but we don't live in a perfect world, right, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, like the system. Yeah, we know. We can't
Speaker 1: stop everybody from game banging because it is what it is,
Speaker 1: and a lot of us. Every hood then had a loss,
Speaker 1: every hood that loss the homeboard. So in order for
Speaker 1: YouTube even a kid is gonna get better, everybody gotta
Speaker 1: stop crying wolf and accept the fact that we had
Speaker 1: losses on either side. We can't. I can't be mad
Speaker 1: because the wolf kill my homeboy, my cousin or whatever,
Speaker 1: because we don't did the same to the same neighborhood.
Speaker 1: So these guys got to realize at some point, just
Speaker 1: put the guns down you It's it's always gonna be
Speaker 1: in you. Some guys got it on them. Some guys
Speaker 1: just got it in them, and at some point you
Speaker 1: just gotta say enough is enough. Okay, we all took
Speaker 1: losses in this motherfucker, so who's to be mad? Who's
Speaker 1: to say what's right is right on? Or I can't
Speaker 1: get over my boy being killed? No, we gotta get
Speaker 1: over it. We all took that. Hell, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying that we all haven't been to funerals, multiple funerals,
Speaker 1: So at some point we gotta, you know, I gotta
Speaker 1: show these kids or these young cats how to grow up.
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why if dudes been looking at me
Speaker 1: on social media, he was Slick from Campanella all the time. Man.
Speaker 1: That's it. Man, I'll be saying y'all and that you're
Speaker 1: gonna do a damn thing too. But I don't care
Speaker 1: who you are, Right, that dude, Slick is funny in
Speaker 1: the motherfucker. That's my that's my. I say slick and
Speaker 1: say things to be that other people can't say to me, right,
Speaker 1: you know what, slicking call me retarded all day, log
Speaker 1: and I'm just you right, I can't you know. So,
Speaker 1: Slick is a good dude, and he does a lot
Speaker 1: for the community and for the children. And see that's
Speaker 1: that's why I like interacted, like I like interacting what
Speaker 1: you on here, because it's showing people that they're forming
Speaker 1: war vets like us can sit up here converse. We
Speaker 1: can sit up here trying to find a solution just
Speaker 1: to save at least one dude, because that one dude
Speaker 1: may turn into the neural surgeon. That say, ten dudes
Speaker 1: that come out of our community. Now, you know, you're
Speaker 1: just saying something really profound. Um, I do. And that's
Speaker 1: why we established this, you know, forum as a positive
Speaker 1: thing to bring change to the community. Right right, What
Speaker 1: did you say out there to those people? Because right
Speaker 1: now we just mentioned that we're in the age of
Speaker 1: social media and to where anybody can be famous now
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of money that can be made.
Speaker 1: So you've got everybody chasing after that, right, and so
Speaker 1: in doing that, they're willing to do some unthinking about
Speaker 1: and other magical things. Just in the past year, we've
Speaker 1: seen things go down online that we never that I
Speaker 1: thought I would never see take place. What do you
Speaker 1: have to say about that? I say, like this man,
Speaker 1: um dudes that slander dudes without any any anything to
Speaker 1: substantiate comes out of their mouth to the lot, the liableness,
Speaker 1: the slander, the the sensationalism, like Okay, I'm gonna sugar
Speaker 1: coote it, I'm gonna saying straight out, okay, black one's
Speaker 1: a Jerry Springer, of of of of of of of
Speaker 1: of social media. Only five years Jerry Springer shots you
Speaker 1: with everything from midgets with vaginas two giants with penises.
Speaker 1: You know. You know, whatever he could do, you know.
Speaker 1: And I say, people such as him and people that
Speaker 1: are in that that do that they just do is
Speaker 1: gonna come to not in a sense of saying something violent,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying it's buffooniary at all time high and
Speaker 1: at some point we have to tell him, as as
Speaker 1: as people from that environment that this ain't cool, this
Speaker 1: ain't us. That's why I always advocate like certain people
Speaker 1: aren't the voice of the West Coast. I'm not the
Speaker 1: voice of the West Coast. I'm an opinionated individual, right,
Speaker 1: But if you don't put clarification on certain things. To
Speaker 1: the rest of the United States, they take things as
Speaker 1: gospel urban nights, you know. And I say, you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen things on social media where I almost got
Speaker 1: caught up, but I got angry, and I was like,
Speaker 1: enough is enough? Made you slant? The people that look
Speaker 1: like us make the plan feel even Jerry Sprigger made
Speaker 1: it even He's gonna talk about Blacks, Mexicans, Whites, Chinese,
Speaker 1: Martians or whatever you know. So I just say to
Speaker 1: that man, is that somebody needs to just beat the
Speaker 1: brakes off them. Dudes, just not killing. Just give me
Speaker 1: a good old fashioned ass whooping West in my house.
Speaker 1: If social media didn't bite you everything they hear that,
Speaker 1: the people didn't listen to and give energy and content
Speaker 1: to to to to motherfucking clowns like that, then you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to worry about it. But social media is
Speaker 1: not that social media, and listen and believe everything they hear. Um,
Speaker 1: I can't lie to you. I'm wanting. I get mad, mad,
Speaker 1: mad mad mad too to the point where I don't
Speaker 1: have no choice but to be mom James at this
Speaker 1: point because now Marm James is being attacked. But how
Speaker 1: do I this than myself from Marm James and not
Speaker 1: be your mom James and continue to you know, my
Speaker 1: path of being James McDonald. My life has changed. I'm different, bright,
Speaker 1: So I'm not the one to get out there and
Speaker 1: then go bound. But now here I found myself in
Speaker 1: my car like the old days, with my pistol in
Speaker 1: my lap. Let's get out and let's beach about these
Speaker 1: niggas over here. Okay, y'all playing with me, let me
Speaker 1: show you what this and that. But that only sets
Speaker 1: a bride dog and a mom James back to who
Speaker 1: they were. So like one individual told me, Choston White
Speaker 1: told me, and he didn't want to make me see see,
Speaker 1: I told y'all even still, Mom James, this is motherfuck game.
Speaker 1: Change said me, to funk up, because here I am
Speaker 1: being James McDonald and doing what I think I'm doing
Speaker 1: is right, and people wanted people to see my change
Speaker 1: and understand me. Here he is provoking a situation and
Speaker 1: he and and he succeeded in what he was doing.
Speaker 1: But at that time, if I was one of those cats,
Speaker 1: any strike counts for me, he had got to ask
Speaker 1: for And if I was mob James in that situation,
Speaker 1: he'd got to ask woman because apparently point they didn't work.
Speaker 1: So playing b is to disrespect him to the bullets,
Speaker 1: and I'd have picked him up and and and and
Speaker 1: did great body harm to him. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, he explained to me, if you touch
Speaker 1: and beat me up, you're going to prison. You're going
Speaker 1: to jail. See you know what, I think. Charles does
Speaker 1: do some some out the way stuff, right. He does
Speaker 1: some way your stuff right. But one thing that I
Speaker 1: do respect about that dude is that he tells you
Speaker 1: exactly who he yields. It ain't no friend to him.
Speaker 1: He tells you, I'm gonna talk to my ship, and
Speaker 1: if you put your hands on me, I'm gonna see
Speaker 1: a lot of things that Charleston Waite spoke on. I agree,
Speaker 1: I truly agreed to some of the ship that he
Speaker 1: speaks on. But when it comes to the blood and
Speaker 1: crypt thing, I think one speaks for all the way
Speaker 1: he's putting ship in and content. One blood, one crip.
Speaker 1: We speak for each other, whether it's l A Compton
Speaker 1: or whatever. Somebody got to speak to this motherfucker because
Speaker 1: he was being reckless with the lives, with the with
Speaker 1: the niggas. That's a love with the ones that are dead.
Speaker 1: So that becomes all of our business. Those that game bang,
Speaker 1: those that don't. You know what I'm saying. So we
Speaker 1: all responsible for each other at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Gang members don't understand that ship today. You know, we
Speaker 1: are all responsible for for life and death. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the most destructive part about this stuff.
Speaker 1: And my skin is a little bit thicker when it
Speaker 1: comes to the Internet because I realized what it is, right,
Speaker 1: and I take the destructive part about this is that
Speaker 1: you guys got people online talking about real solid people.
Speaker 1: I don't talk about people that at one time would
Speaker 1: take you off this planet. Yeah, and so you think
Speaker 1: it's these It used It didn't be cool for a square,
Speaker 1: a civilian to pop up online and talk about the
Speaker 1: bride dog or talk about the James McDonald or talk
Speaker 1: about a big you or whoever. Right, they just didn't happen, right.
Speaker 1: Everybody kind of stayed in their place. Now you gotta do.
Speaker 1: They can sit behind the computer and leave a type
Speaker 1: of message and call the motherfucker a rat, call the
Speaker 1: motherfucker out their name or whatever. And I remember it
Speaker 1: was a time and if you call the motherfucker out,
Speaker 1: if you call the motherfucker a snake, and you didn't
Speaker 1: have no proof. Because I'm gonna tell you this and
Speaker 1: I don't even want to bring it back up. Man,
Speaker 1: because it just we in different times. Right now, I
Speaker 1: can pull a piece of paper out right here, I
Speaker 1: can pull a piece of paper out right here on
Speaker 1: this show and say such and such told this is
Speaker 1: this right here. Name don't be nowhere on there. But
Speaker 1: now you've gotta continguen to see if people saying that
Speaker 1: somebody is a tattle, tell right, somebody's to snack, somebody's
Speaker 1: a rat. It was a time when you got your
Speaker 1: he had knocked into the middle of the street. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts will be on a concrete literally, you just can't
Speaker 1: say things like that. So I think we're in a
Speaker 1: very disrespectful era. And I think people think that playing
Speaker 1: the games is cool. They think it's funny. Now they're
Speaker 1: just seeing about everybody and anybody well knowing Facebook, YouTube,
Speaker 1: social media period. Uh that I just ship all of
Speaker 1: that ship gives motherfucker's Are those guys that wanted to
Speaker 1: be or wanted to be uh recognized as a gang? Remember, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know everybody can't be top dog in the hood.
Speaker 1: Everybody ain't top dog in the hood. So you got
Speaker 1: catch that wasn't a factor in the hood or running
Speaker 1: around in the hood. Now they're o g s because
Speaker 1: all the real niggas is done. You gotta catch that
Speaker 1: couldn't voice their opinion. Now you've got social media where
Speaker 1: you can do it. You know that that phone gangster
Speaker 1: ship you got so some media gangsters now having to
Speaker 1: catch this running their mouf and talking that ship on
Speaker 1: my mama. They would not say that on the other
Speaker 1: side of this motherfucking desk and called me a motherfucker thing.
Speaker 1: Y'all gonna be editing some ship and let me get
Speaker 1: that tap. You're filthy. That's why I took it to another. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: and and and and it's exactly what you said. Still
Speaker 1: that unfortunately, to me, one of the greatest dudes offer
Speaker 1: the rap thing because what he was doing in our
Speaker 1: community allegedly said something about the individual, and by him
Speaker 1: not having something called this to back it up, immediately,
Speaker 1: the individual did what the streets dictated. You don't call
Speaker 1: me that without this to back it up. And the
Speaker 1: fort that happened to Nipsey, he got put in that
Speaker 1: pickle jar. Okay. Now, I'm not saying it was right
Speaker 1: or wrong. I'm not saying anything of that nature. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, with the streets dictate of old and it's
Speaker 1: a thing like I took it to another level. I
Speaker 1: was dealing with the cat who was making allegations against individal.
Speaker 1: I said, first off, I'm gonna say my name is
Speaker 1: Brian Danielle Berkeley Senior, a K A O. G. Bright
Speaker 1: Off a K A bones Low two eight to zero
Speaker 1: eight one one to C four nine two three Freedom
Speaker 1: information at nextus, lexus, find law west Law dot com,
Speaker 1: look me up. Never made a statement, never will since
Speaker 1: in transcripts right, etceter etceter etcetera. So that cat didn't
Speaker 1: have the ammunition to slander individual, which is his nature,
Speaker 1: you know. And it's like you said, we call them
Speaker 1: studio gangsters and we call them sales soldiers. I just
Speaker 1: step in the suburbs all day long going to computer
Speaker 1: and say, still ain't ship man, you know, still got
Speaker 1: knocked out the other night. Man, y'all weren't near because
Speaker 1: y'all ain't got access to where we go to. And
Speaker 1: then now now I got a million dudes in Tupelo,
Speaker 1: Mississippi believing it. And that's the problem because yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen cats, you know, and I come from the area.
Speaker 1: I'm not no crip or no blood. I let it
Speaker 1: be known you have a street origin about yourself, you know.
Speaker 1: But I had and this and this sense is validated.
Speaker 1: I have squabbles and don't mind squabbing, and that's my thing.
Speaker 1: I see all these guys like here to have all
Speaker 1: these issues with people. Why ain't nobody fighting, Why ain't
Speaker 1: nobody getting knocked out? Why ain't nobody get bolds put
Speaker 1: in them? Because that's the era I come from. If
Speaker 1: it's a problem, you got an issue with me, we
Speaker 1: don't have to do all this. I'm not good that.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna come here and sit behind on camera.
Speaker 1: They can go back and forth fiction. But I only
Speaker 1: got one ticket, one ticket to play at my age
Speaker 1: right now. If I go to jail, that's the rest
Speaker 1: of it. I'm on my other I'm living in the
Speaker 1: other half. Damn this sixty So I don't got time
Speaker 1: to play. I don't got time to get out of here.
Speaker 1: Just oh you motherfuck I ain't got time. But that's
Speaker 1: been there, done that. You gotta think, you gotta think
Speaker 1: totally different now this. I only got this part of
Speaker 1: my life. And then on top of that, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think about something no more. I don't think
Speaker 1: about this is about the hood. I don't think like
Speaker 1: that no more. And you know I'm thinking about grandson,
Speaker 1: my granddaughters, generational wealth. Yeah, so you know it ain't
Speaker 1: about me no more. That's what we have to do.
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you. You know, we talked
Speaker 1: about a few individuals. I don't know Whack one hundred.
Speaker 1: The man ain't never said nothing about me. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know him. I really don't know him, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know him to have no opinion him.
Speaker 1: I just know from what I see, right, I know
Speaker 1: what I see and I know what I hear. Um,
Speaker 1: I know Charleston White, right, And like James said, Charleston
Speaker 1: White says a lot of factual stuff. He's not a dumby.
Speaker 1: He's very conscious of what he's doing. You understand what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like so it's like the whole rat Williams
Speaker 1: think he got us almost like a character. He understands
Speaker 1: that and he plays it out well and he tells people, look,
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta never leave Texas. You come down here,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot you. Well, I'm gonna call the police.
Speaker 1: M Either look at him now, don't know him. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna point this out. You you you hear them today
Speaker 1: and and and many men pointed out to me earlier
Speaker 1: this morning. You you don't hear him speaking on the
Speaker 1: game bangers no more. You're him talking about rappers. You know,
Speaker 1: he learned his lane, he understands his lane. Well. A
Speaker 1: lot of these rappers heals full of ship. A lot
Speaker 1: of you know, a lot of these rappers heals full
Speaker 1: of ship. You know it sounds good on record. And
Speaker 1: that's the thing. At one point, everybody kind of knew
Speaker 1: their place. We lived in the area. Now to where
Speaker 1: don't nobody know their places? Man, Look at my cousin. Okay,
Speaker 1: my cousin, my second cousin, is Draco's ruler. Look at
Speaker 1: his demise. This depies to me as a result of
Speaker 1: the rappers dictating to the entourage, as opposed with entourage
Speaker 1: used to dictate to the rappers. Right, that's unfortunate. His
Speaker 1: mother and me and first cousins, his grandmother and my father,
Speaker 1: or brothers and sisters. You think what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: that's my cousin. And see the thing I have with
Speaker 1: these dudes. Man, it's just like you know, not jumping
Speaker 1: back to this dude and make it that dude show.
Speaker 1: But the dude said I was a blood when where
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you know, and I always
Speaker 1: said ship if I was blood, I would have shot
Speaker 1: somebody got del crips because of that there, the crip said.
Speaker 1: Everybody doubted the chrisp would never let me turn you know.
Speaker 1: They were like, oh, that was welcome to the crib.
Speaker 1: They said, I was a kidchen crip, so and kiss
Speaker 1: and crypt know me because of my history on any
Speaker 1: person Hooper so and come back your turns was the homie,
Speaker 1: No man I got. I got much love and respect.
Speaker 1: Billy turn Up City, which is still Bill Run was
Speaker 1: my nigger. So you know, I know a lot of
Speaker 1: them catch over there, which most of them so uh,
Speaker 1: it's just the fact that I dude was trying to
Speaker 1: slam you when they have nothing else. You know. That's
Speaker 1: why I said, don't don't. Don't kiss on my leg
Speaker 1: and tell me it's raining and then come and try
Speaker 1: to give me an umbrella on the back channel. Don't
Speaker 1: do that. I don't need you. I don't need anyone,
Speaker 1: you know, because I've always been a soul survivor such
Speaker 1: as yourself. You've been so survived you. I applaud to
Speaker 1: commend you because you come from Ohio to California made
Speaker 1: your niche. So in the most successfu people are risk takers.
Speaker 1: And the dudes in our lifestyle, the way we live,
Speaker 1: we were risk takers because every day we stepped out
Speaker 1: that door, James, we took a risk, right. And now
Speaker 1: there in the latter of latter of stages of our life,
Speaker 1: because I see the life going forth stage zero to
Speaker 1: twenty forty to sixty and sixties or fourth stage, we
Speaker 1: recognize with your platform y'all, Donna, glorify, y'all, speak on
Speaker 1: what it is. And then you tell dudes like I
Speaker 1: tell them, is your end game of dad n game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because nothing comes, nothing comes from bullshit but death. That's
Speaker 1: all it is. And that's all I've seen. You know,
Speaker 1: whether it's Los Angeles, California, Compton, Cleveland, on how Detroit, Michigan,
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, New York, if you played gainst the games,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get received gangster prizes. Right. If you're telling
Speaker 1: me we can't smoke what we're doing this show, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, if you're gonna smoke, I'm at the
Speaker 1: end it out. He's just gonna make some more work
Speaker 1: for me. But it's all cool. We can we can't
Speaker 1: we we can't condone cigarette smokes to the youth out there.
Speaker 1: You know we're a positive show, James. We can't be
Speaker 1: out there telling him the smoke cigarette. Somebody might look
Speaker 1: up to you and start smoking cigarettes. I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: tell ain't gonna to him. I've been smoking camels since
Speaker 1: I touched down in the county jail eighteen years oh,
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half. And I've been smoking camels that
Speaker 1: month along. I didn't smoke before. We we we we
Speaker 1: We only got ten and fifteen more minutes. So so
Speaker 1: you'll go to take your smoke breaking a manute. This
Speaker 1: is what I will saying, and this is what I
Speaker 1: want to see right now, and this is what I
Speaker 1: wish everybody was listening to. You are not my enemy.
Speaker 1: He is not my enemy. The average coming white man
Speaker 1: is not my enemy. But if you pay attention to
Speaker 1: what's going on. I saw something on Instagram the other day.
Speaker 1: It was a kid there was about three or four
Speaker 1: years old. You know that picture, that thing I sent you, James,
Speaker 1: that little boy, Yeah, he was breaking down the a
Speaker 1: K forty seven like breaking down, like really breaking it down.
Speaker 1: Four years old. And I looked at it and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, we are here shooting like we in the movies,
Speaker 1: sideways and stuff. You know what I mean. I can't
Speaker 1: hit nobody. I saw one time I was um, I
Speaker 1: was riding down on an imperium. I saw two dudes
Speaker 1: out in the gas station going on and they popped
Speaker 1: at each other. They wouldn't know more than eight fiefs
Speaker 1: of each other, they both missing. Just you know, I'm
Speaker 1: probably don't hear everybody else around, and they having with it.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, we're sitting up there playing games.
Speaker 1: They are getting prepared for us. They're getting prepared to
Speaker 1: take us out, and we are not a quick to
Speaker 1: deal with it because we spend too much time online. Bullshit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well let's look at it like this norm. They're getting prepared,
Speaker 1: they but they should be doing it. We should be
Speaker 1: doing the same thing they're doing. We don't have time
Speaker 1: to teach, especially our own kids, how to survive or
Speaker 1: protect self when it's time. Now the time has come,
Speaker 1: and trust me, the time just coming where they're gonna
Speaker 1: bring their ass in coming. We ain't ready because half upus,
Speaker 1: like you just said, don't know how to use a pistol.
Speaker 1: Half of us don't know how to load that a
Speaker 1: k and you know, get on. You know, we saw that.
Speaker 1: We saw that example first seeing James. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say the kid's name, but remember we was up in
Speaker 1: the studio in Hollywood. Man, he was up in the mansion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and um day up in there, man, you know, shout
Speaker 1: off to the little homies. Man, they up there are
Speaker 1: shooting dice. They got about two or three hundred thous
Speaker 1: on the table brow and I'll tell you, I'm not
Speaker 1: exactly wating James to tell you they got all this money.
Speaker 1: So I hit one of the little younger brothers. Man.
Speaker 1: He was from all the town he was from, I think,
Speaker 1: um Atlanta, right, I said, bro, check this out. You
Speaker 1: are here in the Beverly Hills, man, but you don't.
Speaker 1: It's some real motherfucker's in here, and you don't know
Speaker 1: who was in here, and you're flashing your money. Though,
Speaker 1: I said, be a little bit more cautiously where you at,
Speaker 1: because I said, I know some names. Right now. I
Speaker 1: could make a phone call. It'll be a dude coming
Speaker 1: here with a twain too. The smack me and he
Speaker 1: had just to make it look good. Lay me on
Speaker 1: the floor, laverybo the four get the cash and be gone, right,
Speaker 1: and if anybody resists to try to show forth, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be gone. They don't need a planet. And he's
Speaker 1: not playing. He don't need no big fancy gon. He
Speaker 1: come in here with a twin two or three. Hadn't
Speaker 1: lead everybody down, big homie, I got this something. He
Speaker 1: pulled this stuff out the thing right, And I said, man,
Speaker 1: sometimes there ain't enough, brother, I said, I don't see him.
Speaker 1: Dudes go away with it than they end right, you know,
Speaker 1: with their eyes open and they pistol in their end.
Speaker 1: I've seen it, so you know, he telling us what
Speaker 1: he got. Okay, he's not listening, right. What do we
Speaker 1: see maybe a month later exams, where do we see
Speaker 1: online get too down doing the same thing, gambling? You know,
Speaker 1: I guess the street camera cott He out there gambling. Man,
Speaker 1: they get into it. Everybody scattered. He grabbed that gun
Speaker 1: he talked about. You see him playing with it. He
Speaker 1: don't even know how to shoot it. He try to
Speaker 1: shoot it, don't do nothing. He trying to play the
Speaker 1: thing who walked up just like I said, with a
Speaker 1: little bit. He three, but I had a nine on
Speaker 1: him back back back back back back back that said,
Speaker 1: he gone, yea. I try to tell him all the time,
Speaker 1: just because you have a gun. I mean, now, I
Speaker 1: got shot twice in this stuff before I didn't even
Speaker 1: put my fire on out. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I got to hit twice, and then by the time
Speaker 1: I came up with it, I got hit the third time.
Speaker 1: Then I was able to exchange. So just because you
Speaker 1: got it don't mean nothing. I just was gifted from
Speaker 1: the creators to still be, you know, because you know
Speaker 1: in James, you and him and Bride know this way
Speaker 1: better than not. Doe, Dog, you don't see it coming
Speaker 1: when somebody is coming to get you. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're sitting up here waiting for him and anticipating. I'm
Speaker 1: prepared for when he hits the corner, I'm gonna hit
Speaker 1: him from here. No, you don't know. You could be
Speaker 1: with your daughter, you could be with your wife, you
Speaker 1: could be with your kids, you could be in a
Speaker 1: movie theater. All it takes for a nigger to see
Speaker 1: you and say being go, then that nigga go right
Speaker 1: there and come next even more something to you. This
Speaker 1: is what happens. Man. A lot of cats talk that
Speaker 1: good ship, that what they do and how they know
Speaker 1: to use a pistol. None of that ship matters until bam,
Speaker 1: it happens. That's when you see the panic. I don't
Speaker 1: see Niles get up on the motherfucking cars with pistols,
Speaker 1: but they this this shooter is whoo whoo. Everybody don't
Speaker 1: possess that. Everybody don't have that in their motherfucking hard
Speaker 1: to be that nigger when it when it happens. When
Speaker 1: it happens, you got a nine in your pocket, but
Speaker 1: this motherfucker using the salt right or thinking that your
Speaker 1: ass something is just lay down in fold. Everybody is
Speaker 1: not ready for that part of the life. You could
Speaker 1: talk that ship all day, but when it happens, everything changes. Man.
Speaker 1: The world is spending and something just don't come out
Speaker 1: of that that that swirl. No, they're not for that.
Speaker 1: What I don't understand about us man and and and
Speaker 1: these brothers be on that. I try to tell him,
Speaker 1: look at my story. I'm not talking about the negative
Speaker 1: part of it. I try to tell him, like, look, man,
Speaker 1: and and I'm not gonna going to what I have,
Speaker 1: but I come ome in the pandemic air. My first
Speaker 1: job was separating thesis. I was throwing up for two
Speaker 1: days at the job, but I knew what I had
Speaker 1: to do, and I went to a halfway house. Now
Speaker 1: I live in Apply del Ray. I can run up
Speaker 1: the street to the beach. I can ride my bicycle,
Speaker 1: women walk their dogs at three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: I've never had a job. Now I work sixteen hour
Speaker 1: days because I'm chasing the bags for other purposes which
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go into, but I'm making is. I
Speaker 1: try to tell dudes, Man, if you take a dude
Speaker 1: who's never had a job, who's been in prison the
Speaker 1: vast majority of his life, who's really can get disability
Speaker 1: checks because of all the bullets in and he's working,
Speaker 1: he could do what I'm doing, And why can't you?
Speaker 1: But you want to sit on the corner smoker blunt
Speaker 1: and have a car wash when you did when you
Speaker 1: could take one day off the blunts and the liquors
Speaker 1: and pay your life insurance for the month and leave
Speaker 1: your kids or your mom is something the burial plan.
Speaker 1: It's a little change. If I can do what I've
Speaker 1: done at my age in such a short period of time,
Speaker 1: and just had an ankle brace that removed in July
Speaker 1: of last year. See, I came to Texas right after
Speaker 1: the ankle brace that was removed. James, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and do what I did did I'll beach other to
Speaker 1: do it. I don't hear no experiences excuses. I don't
Speaker 1: have no sympathy. It's just like when I was in prison.
Speaker 1: A brother be leaving the job, he won't take nobody
Speaker 1: to the man and say, hired my two home boys
Speaker 1: that are brothers. But every time a Mexican or white
Speaker 1: boy left, they bring five dudes and say, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Paroke, and you hire one of them.
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing on the streets. We don't
Speaker 1: have no engineering jobs. We don't we want to go
Speaker 1: to construction sites to lay around. We can't wait to
Speaker 1: drink some beer and lunch. You know that's our problem. Man.
Speaker 1: You know, these dudes grow up with gadgets in their hands,
Speaker 1: so they already still prepared. They're already cold and prepared. Exactly.
Speaker 1: That's the message. I'll be trying to see it, man, Like,
Speaker 1: don't beat me homie, you know, and you're exactly right.
Speaker 1: And that's my message to everybody out here. And I
Speaker 1: think I've been in California since eight right, so at
Speaker 1: this point I've been in California more of my life
Speaker 1: than I have been in the higher right. But tell
Speaker 1: them how much money did you come out of here with?
Speaker 1: I came out here with fifty dollars in my parker.
Speaker 1: I didn't have it. I didn't come out here man
Speaker 1: with with no silver spoon. I had a mission. I
Speaker 1: just knew. I see one thing about it, Cleveland, Ohio
Speaker 1: was really to get them. If anybody has ever been
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, Cleveland is together. I'm from the ghetto. You know.
Speaker 1: We don't do no game banging up there. But it's
Speaker 1: still plenty of shooting and killing it going. But we're
Speaker 1: not into the game banging thing, right. But we will
Speaker 1: tell you this. Those cats know how the white folks
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the supremacy this and know they let
Speaker 1: it be knowing who they are. I grew up seeing
Speaker 1: those white supremecy offices with the flags on, with the
Speaker 1: Confederacy flags on them and everything. It's still on the
Speaker 1: West side of Cleveland to this day. So I come
Speaker 1: from different eras where if one of those was walking
Speaker 1: down the street and they could be the same size
Speaker 1: as me, swallowen up and everything, swashter this don't make
Speaker 1: body and everything. They go call you, watch your name
Speaker 1: and let it be known. If you want to fight,
Speaker 1: you can fight. They're gonna say, what a deal. So
Speaker 1: I've seen that side. What I wish the brothers out
Speaker 1: here would do. I'm not saying we gotta be all
Speaker 1: coom by yaut with each other. We better start respecting
Speaker 1: each other though, because it's will come a time where
Speaker 1: you going to lean on your brother. And if you
Speaker 1: think I'm playing of a conspiracy theorist, just go look
Speaker 1: at some of these videos. They don't there. These people
Speaker 1: are getting prepared to go to war while we're sitting
Speaker 1: up here. Bullshit and net is stupid. You're right when
Speaker 1: you come at us, we're not gonna know what to do.
Speaker 1: And I see I see it too, because one of
Speaker 1: the areas I work can I work in uh was
Speaker 1: predominantly them out of van eyes, you know, And so yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. I see certain things, man, I see I
Speaker 1: see openly tattoos or certain things. And because I know
Speaker 1: how to read tattoos. I see the secret, little secretness
Speaker 1: on the tattoos, you know, from prison, you know. And
Speaker 1: I see these cats when I go into places of
Speaker 1: business and their sleeves the road up. I mean, like, damn,
Speaker 1: this do work here. But he's letting it be known
Speaker 1: what he represented. But he's letting it be known to
Speaker 1: those who know. Yeah, because if y'all noticed this man that,
Speaker 1: they're starting to get a lot more breezing. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the racist right. And see, these kids aren't just
Speaker 1: unloading on these servilians for no reason. It's somebody giving
Speaker 1: them instructions to cause chaos. Somebody is instructing these people
Speaker 1: to do things right. And like James said earlier, they're
Speaker 1: gonna come to comfort one day. They're going to come
Speaker 1: along beach one day, They're gonna come to wats one day.
Speaker 1: When you be prepared, you know how to you know
Speaker 1: how to destimate your own brother, you know how to
Speaker 1: destroy your own brother, you know how to destroy your
Speaker 1: own community. But yeah, when it's time to fight for
Speaker 1: that same brother in that same community, are you going
Speaker 1: to be prepared? Or are we gonna stay on the
Speaker 1: same dumb ship? Are we gonna stay stuck because it's
Speaker 1: embarrassing to me. Man, is that all these guys acting
Speaker 1: the food are forty five years old enough? We have
Speaker 1: not matured as a people. We have not grew up.
Speaker 1: Are we supposed to? We're still acting like the fourteen
Speaker 1: years old. Well, we have yet to understand our own
Speaker 1: kind and and and and what our struggle really is.
Speaker 1: I'm not going all the way back to Harriet Tepman.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about our hood days. And we got to
Speaker 1: understand that our ship is built around total different ship
Speaker 1: that what it is today. Back then when we grew up,
Speaker 1: I'm doing our game banging times we couldn't stop the killing.
Speaker 1: We couldn't stop and just bag away and just okay.
Speaker 1: This is that because we had other elements and bolved
Speaker 1: in our situation that created the war, that made the
Speaker 1: war continue to be what it is right now. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. And the same people you
Speaker 1: speaking of today wouldn't allow a truce, wouldn't allow uh
Speaker 1: someone not to be killed in six months, Boy, we
Speaker 1: ain't had no gang activity went down six months? Bullshit?
Speaker 1: Because I ship we're gonna call you got the executioners,
Speaker 1: you got the band didos you got the vikings, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember at the peace treaty we were
Speaker 1: shooting dice and the Nikolasons and lap D wrote up
Speaker 1: a bus yeah, and we gave it to him and
Speaker 1: that was one of the participants. Yes, statue limitations of
Speaker 1: fun y'all. And I was one of the participants that
Speaker 1: gave it to him. Some of them been involved in
Speaker 1: that got picked up and handcuffed and unhand and got
Speaker 1: released in the wrong neighborhood and not to car Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I had, I had those experiences. I had.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I was still a functioning dummy and I shot
Speaker 1: to one at our peace treaty in Carver Park, at
Speaker 1: Corver Park. And then the next day I was in
Speaker 1: a long beach and the sheriffs who don't come to
Speaker 1: the long beach pushed right up in the Carver the
Speaker 1: Carmelitos and said, oh, by the way, bright Off, thank
Speaker 1: you for shooting. Do that. The peace treat it ended it.
Speaker 1: It did not take me to jim So you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't bite into the conspiracy, into the facts, and
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's not a conspiracy because what
Speaker 1: we don't do is we don't like the news, right.
Speaker 1: We don't do researchtion we look at alternative stuff. We
Speaker 1: look at people online pretty much. And right now we
Speaker 1: live in the area. It's all entertainment, right because people
Speaker 1: can say anything. I can come on here and say
Speaker 1: I'm a millionaire. I can come on here with a
Speaker 1: bunch of fake money and some cars. I don't run
Speaker 1: it and give motivational thing. Yes, if you believe in
Speaker 1: your mind you can achieve this greatness. You can and
Speaker 1: you can have a bunch of people following it. Because see,
Speaker 1: we're looking for hope, but we're looking for hope in
Speaker 1: the wrong places, and that the wrong people. We idolized
Speaker 1: the wrong people right now. True, and it's really gonna
Speaker 1: be to our detriment. It's gonna be to our detriment. See,
Speaker 1: I don't think none of this stuff is funny. That's
Speaker 1: why I don't get in games. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: something come from the heart of racism, my love black people,
Speaker 1: because all that's all we got. We gotta click up,
Speaker 1: We have to click up. We had to stick together.
Speaker 1: We would get our ask for and then and then
Speaker 1: people ain't weak. It's not like you're thinking they're weak
Speaker 1: because they can get the swow. They're doing everything, They're
Speaker 1: going to shooting rings. They're ready. Helps ain't even enough
Speaker 1: shape to get in the fight right now. Can we
Speaker 1: sit around and smoke too much? We even drink too
Speaker 1: much beer all damn day, drink too much liquor all day,
Speaker 1: so we're not we're not ready. Yeah, you good from prison.
Speaker 1: Unity only happens in prison to a certain extent. Not
Speaker 1: out of here, dudes, to cut you off real quick change,
Speaker 1: And I apologize, but I try to tell dudes, and
Speaker 1: just our sitting, you have so many commtent crips going
Speaker 1: at it with each other, and you have so many
Speaker 1: content parties going at with each other. But when your
Speaker 1: dumbass go to jail, you and that CC rider car
Speaker 1: and you're in that p funk car and you and
Speaker 1: jail for killing his homeboy. His same homeboy is one
Speaker 1: that got your back for the rest of your life
Speaker 1: in that joint, and you can they're killing this homeboy
Speaker 1: and your same CC riding that you end up killing
Speaker 1: when you hit that yard. And then they say, well,
Speaker 1: I only sell me up with my own and it's
Speaker 1: that content cripp in there homeboy, and you killed You're
Speaker 1: going in the sail with me, right, so it doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. And then that same dude that killed
Speaker 1: that dob Wou on the other side of the tracks
Speaker 1: when you go to jail, and then it's one of
Speaker 1: them wars. They're not gonna say, well, he's a part
Speaker 1: rue and he's a cryptin and he's in here for
Speaker 1: killing this or he's a blood. They're gonna say his
Speaker 1: ass is black. And you're walking down two five years
Speaker 1: with two life that mean you gotta die and come
Speaker 1: back a live and don't do the other life. And
Speaker 1: you're in the same dude that you and here for
Speaker 1: killing one of his homeboys. Is your ace boon coon
Speaker 1: in here? Right? This is see? This is see. I
Speaker 1: think instead of him doing stories on these these these
Speaker 1: programs of like they then fifty one ops, which was
Speaker 1: the most foolish thing in the world, and they rode
Speaker 1: car replaces. Somebody got killed in Chicago. He was telling
Speaker 1: on your stuff that they need to dote one goales,
Speaker 1: But I got five seventy five years and eighteen I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I got fifty. You know, they need to road
Speaker 1: call their names. They need to do like that of
Speaker 1: how many goes you know what it is. The black
Speaker 1: male in this country has become capital for the prison system.
Speaker 1: Right of course, every one of us to go to jail.
Speaker 1: It's profit. We're like a can of soda. We are
Speaker 1: like a can of pepsi. Right now, let's lock up
Speaker 1: him as we can. Uh. We don't care if they're
Speaker 1: innocent or guilty. We want to lock him up because
Speaker 1: it's about money right now. We are capital right now,
Speaker 1: We're worth a lot of money to them. So the
Speaker 1: more of us they can lock up, the more money
Speaker 1: they can make me. The guy in the conversation was
Speaker 1: one of one of my homeboys, which just did uh
Speaker 1: he did thirty three flatten. He's pretty well established at
Speaker 1: it what he does for a living, right, and he's
Speaker 1: in charging out the nonprofits of things in the wordabal community.
Speaker 1: Shout out to you, l V, and I would saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I never stayed out of prisoners long and
Speaker 1: I'm doing the right thing living as a civilian. You know,
Speaker 1: I came on this time instead of an ex con
Speaker 1: or X feeling. I came home as a return to citizen.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a big difference than that. And when
Speaker 1: I was telling you I worked sixteen hour days. And
Speaker 1: I told you I'm insomniac. I worked sixteen hour days
Speaker 1: because I have a short range goal. I came on
Speaker 1: from prison with a two or three and five year plan,
Speaker 1: you know. And so you you right, man, it's a
Speaker 1: big profit man, because how much money a bo giving
Speaker 1: the state at a cost to the taxpayers of nearly
Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars a year to house. So that's a
Speaker 1: lot of motherfucking money, man. But I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: I'm one of the lucky ones. I've been out of
Speaker 1: prison this and ain't seen another one. But I got
Speaker 1: thirty three years, thirty four years, ain't seeing the prison,
Speaker 1: ain't going back to prison. And please believe, man, and
Speaker 1: please believe you've been at home that that long change
Speaker 1: and this force is out that is trying to convince
Speaker 1: you to go back to prison. Yeah, my d six
Speaker 1: nine six six seven, that was my number. It's four
Speaker 1: years off that he wants you to go back to prison. Bro,
Speaker 1: they can't make me go back to prison. What do
Speaker 1: both of you think of this? Already investigated and find
Speaker 1: out what happened. Five weeks ago, a federal agent called
Speaker 1: my son, because we have the same name, my son's
Speaker 1: career military A wrong person. My son called me and
Speaker 1: gave me the guy a number. So I called the
Speaker 1: FBI just make sure that this was legitimate, and then
Speaker 1: I contacted Asian. I hung up and called back. This
Speaker 1: man said, I have firearms that when I initially was
Speaker 1: called that doesn't have nothing. They cleaned cleaning the border
Speaker 1: hell and that I can come get my firewarms. And say, man,
Speaker 1: I'm on federal probation. What you talking about? He said,
Speaker 1: we're cleaning up. We're cleaning up and closing old cases,
Speaker 1: and on your case, we recovered these firearms that were
Speaker 1: brand new, never been fired. I said, man, fuck, you
Speaker 1: go to hill, don't call me no more. So I
Speaker 1: called someone I know and they said, yeah, they wanted
Speaker 1: you to come pick up them guns, and they was
Speaker 1: gonna wait for you and lock you up and give
Speaker 1: you an exceleible firewarms even though they were my guns
Speaker 1: that I had bought under dubious circumstances. But they were
Speaker 1: cleaning in the boarder, healthy, weren't stolen, and they were
Speaker 1: the guns that I initially, because he described him, I
Speaker 1: initially had in two thousand three when I caught this case.
Speaker 1: How so yeah, you want to lock me up? How
Speaker 1: dare you? Because I was preaching a message on certain
Speaker 1: platforms or telling the kids, man, don't be me. Man,
Speaker 1: you can be this man. You could be a cold
Speaker 1: you could be a truck driver, you could be an engineer.
Speaker 1: You can go start off making eighteen dollars nineteen dollars
Speaker 1: hours doing this. And I was pushing that line for
Speaker 1: two weeks on certain platforms and of from the FIS
Speaker 1: to come pick up guns. So you fit the criteria.
Speaker 1: And I mean every Mexican black white would understand what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Every black man that had a voice or
Speaker 1: has a voice of today, they have locked up. So
Speaker 1: they came to hear that voice no more. Either they
Speaker 1: locked you up or killed you. So it's not healthy
Speaker 1: for a black man to to have knowledge and speak
Speaker 1: what's true. And people followed. Name a black man that
Speaker 1: didn't have that knowledge from start with Martin Luther King
Speaker 1: before him. Look where they at. No, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you exactly, and I'm gonna keep on saying that man,
Speaker 1: there are forces at work that won't a lock, that
Speaker 1: won't both of y'all lock back up, not just y'all
Speaker 1: me If they could. I don't have no record, don't
Speaker 1: have one cluing cleaning the bill of health. I have
Speaker 1: never I don't have no smug on my name. You
Speaker 1: can't see because I've never been involved nothing. Stuff I did,
Speaker 1: I gotta wait with have sense enough to stop doing
Speaker 1: when I did it right. I'm gonna tell you right
Speaker 1: now what's going on, man, And I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: all this right now. We are dealing with a lot
Speaker 1: of scary things right now. There are people, the forces
Speaker 1: at work that wanted, like I said, see people locked
Speaker 1: back up, right and see people destroy, see communities destroy, right,
Speaker 1: And it's a lot of our own that's in coclusion
Speaker 1: with these people. You have to read between the lines
Speaker 1: of stuff. The beginning of goddamn time, man, exactly when
Speaker 1: people putting you in positions to where you go to
Speaker 1: prison for the rest of your life, your people setting
Speaker 1: you up. You have your own homies want that bag
Speaker 1: you got that will take you life for that motherfucking bag.
Speaker 1: I ain't blaming the white motherfuckers for this ship. We
Speaker 1: heard ourselves. So what we gotta do is be reconditioned
Speaker 1: to understand what we're doing to each other. You feel
Speaker 1: me and social media just made it even worser because
Speaker 1: they say, do this to that motherfucker, speak on this
Speaker 1: and bam and then you get paid for you See,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what it is. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what it is, James. We have to to reach
Speaker 1: the young because a lot of us have been programmed
Speaker 1: already the way we funked up some of these dudes
Speaker 1: that's forty five, fifty years old, they've already been programmed
Speaker 1: a certain way, so they're useless to the cause, right,
Speaker 1: So we have to start with the younger people and
Speaker 1: invest our time and resources in the youth. Knowing what
Speaker 1: but you would see now we're about to be argumentative.
Speaker 1: What you're saying, I hear you. But the youngsters grew
Speaker 1: up of seeing the ship that we did, the chaos
Speaker 1: that we did. Now, I mind you, I got nephews
Speaker 1: and shouldn't never been gang bangers, but they are with
Speaker 1: it because of something can start because of what they see.
Speaker 1: Some some cats start because of what they heard. Some
Speaker 1: cats start because of my uncle. My cousin was this nigga.
Speaker 1: So they got all different types of reasons why they
Speaker 1: start this goddamn ship. But to be programming. They really
Speaker 1: got to see what the fun is going on and
Speaker 1: what bride Dog is telling you. Don't wait till you
Speaker 1: get my age pitcher. These little niggas gotta see the
Speaker 1: struggle bride Dog. The ship that Marm James went to
Speaker 1: to be James McDonald, I'm an old motherfucker that wouldn't
Speaker 1: even say other or say the word God, because I
Speaker 1: believe that was a sign of weakness in my ship.
Speaker 1: I couldn't be uh contradict myself going to church, but
Speaker 1: getting out there with my pistols show that motherfucker's so
Speaker 1: I couldn't live that life. It was only one motherfucking
Speaker 1: world I was in. But until you realize what were
Speaker 1: you in? Like I told you, I ain't been to
Speaker 1: prison in thirty three years, thirty four motherfucking years, because
Speaker 1: I understood in prison what the old cast was telling me. Nigga,
Speaker 1: don't get out there and disrespect your mama. Do whoof
Speaker 1: the whoop? Because one fuck up gonna bring you back
Speaker 1: in here. And every bitch that I had that said,
Speaker 1: don't negat you will be back in prison. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: just nigging that. Oh I got something to prove. I
Speaker 1: got some to prove. Now, mind you, to day I
Speaker 1: walked out of prison and came home. She'll Night was
Speaker 1: at my motherfucking door. They're got my set up right
Speaker 1: there they go. They would have dip away my motherfucking
Speaker 1: dog right there, and I'm fighting people. I'm jumping on
Speaker 1: motherfucker's I could have easily went back to prison, but
Speaker 1: when I when the light bulb went off. Fuck this.
Speaker 1: It's better ways than doing this than just being up
Speaker 1: front out there like that. You're going back to prison now.
Speaker 1: The pheasants in our ship because she'd Night don't listen. See,
Speaker 1: we gotta understand and stop blaming everybody else for our
Speaker 1: bullshit and be accountable for what we do. I ain't know.
Speaker 1: I ain't worried about what that nag could do, but
Speaker 1: be accountable for our ship. And I don't give a
Speaker 1: funk what the nigga say about James McDonald, But Mom,
Speaker 1: James got me to this point. Fucking in your ass, nigga,
Speaker 1: if you felt that way, you got twenty years and
Speaker 1: fun with me. Now I would have I could accept
Speaker 1: all this bullshit, my nigga, if I'm living that life,
Speaker 1: if I'm in the streets called me a motherfucker rat
Speaker 1: while I'm a gang member, I dare you. Let's do this.
Speaker 1: Don't talk to me after twenty years. Don't come and
Speaker 1: put some bullshit out of here and do what you
Speaker 1: wanna do. I ain't living like that. But if you
Speaker 1: want the war and you want to smoke what they
Speaker 1: called it today, let's do that. Let's do that. Let's
Speaker 1: be gang bankers. I'm a gang banker. I'm a predator,
Speaker 1: so I could have I could come at you, and
Speaker 1: I can accept this ship because I'm in the hood.
Speaker 1: Now you gotta Now, you gotta be that nigger. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, man, we gotta attended to our
Speaker 1: own bullshit and and we gotta be accountable for what
Speaker 1: we do. That's when we're gonna if we don't get
Speaker 1: if we don't think like that, and we don't get better,
Speaker 1: like like what's going. He wanted to tear down every
Speaker 1: nigger that is becoming a household name, every man that's
Speaker 1: becoming a household name. Like Bright Dog said, he ain't
Speaker 1: doing Messican his white boys and whoo the whoo whoo,
Speaker 1: He's doing his own people that they have that same struggle,
Speaker 1: this struggle that he's in right now, James, I'm like
Speaker 1: this man, A first can fix themouth to say anything right.
Speaker 1: I was in the fans man, I read the Homies
Speaker 1: paperwork right, and if I had to go to nobody
Speaker 1: got through on my watch, you know, like that. But
Speaker 1: the point I'm making is people could throw all kinds
Speaker 1: of things around, but you have nothing to substantiated. Okay,
Speaker 1: I waited twenty years to come home to bring paperwork
Speaker 1: home on one of my homeboards from my hood, and
Speaker 1: I brought it home and I gave it to the Homies.
Speaker 1: He had three secret meetings. So when the person make allegations,
Speaker 1: if you don't have nothing to back it up, you file,
Speaker 1: not the individual, you're file. So I don't bite it
Speaker 1: to that kind of stuff. But the thing thing that
Speaker 1: that that pisses me off, that just piss me off,
Speaker 1: is we constantly you on social media and attack good dudes.
Speaker 1: We constantly you on social media and attack dudes. Is
Speaker 1: trying to do something for generation now, right and to
Speaker 1: fer the agendas, you know, because I don't know nobody
Speaker 1: that's a multi millionaire that could be on social media
Speaker 1: seven that has businesses and artists and y'all know, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about I just don't That just doesn't add up
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know. Nobody is always bragging about money.
Speaker 1: They have a set for a broke person or person
Speaker 1: who's never had money. Seeing I'm gonna tell you what
Speaker 1: the problem it was. Man. The whole Internet is an illusion, right,
Speaker 1: it's allusion. People look at it for entertainment. Um, A
Speaker 1: lot of these stories that we hear are frogs and
Speaker 1: name I'm talking about even though major outlets, like when
Speaker 1: you see these things about somebody sitting with a cartail leader,
Speaker 1: there's nobody in the mixing tell this is gonna let
Speaker 1: you come down and interview him and put blindfolds on
Speaker 1: you and ship all that ship it's fake. Sure, Like
Speaker 1: we gotta start waking up and look at it what
Speaker 1: it is. If those people are very covert and the
Speaker 1: way they move, they're not gonna take you today, especially
Speaker 1: down there mix so they're not gonna let you come
Speaker 1: to guy picks down and stuff is fake. Right, But
Speaker 1: yet we're so stuck on stupid that we believe all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Right, Yeah, we believe everything that we see, right,
Speaker 1: we leave everything that we see. Now you have to
Speaker 1: look at the situation for what it is right. All
Speaker 1: of these guys are being entertained right now, right everybody
Speaker 1: is about the entertainment. I can say something about him,
Speaker 1: I can say something about you, right and people are
Speaker 1: going to believe it. What we what we need to
Speaker 1: do is we need to wake up and smell the
Speaker 1: motherfucking coffee. See. Another thing we need to do is
Speaker 1: those guys that are advocating all his madness about us,
Speaker 1: we need to expose him for who they are sort
Speaker 1: of public and just like, okay, I can't deal with
Speaker 1: him because of what he is, because when you look
Speaker 1: at him, man, this is what each me of. Man.
Speaker 1: This platform should have millions of viewers to me, because
Speaker 1: this is a platform by us for us. It doesn't
Speaker 1: just speak on the former lifestyles that we let speak
Speaker 1: on the variety of topics. It speaks on positivity, speaks
Speaker 1: on things in our community. Right, But they get pens
Speaker 1: who would take if we allowed it, if we were reactionaries,
Speaker 1: if we were functioning your literas. They put MARB James
Speaker 1: right here today and say, so, what do you think
Speaker 1: of Brian d Man? You know he was a creep
Speaker 1: man back in the day. He did fuck him and
Speaker 1: then tomorrow they'll have me on that same So there's
Speaker 1: your pen. And these dudes let them lead them, and
Speaker 1: they let them get all these numbers that capitalize off
Speaker 1: of them and throw them out like yesterday's trash. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand we we flocked to them instead of
Speaker 1: flocking to our own. We should have that old food
Speaker 1: ball analogy for us by us. The Gangster Chronicles are
Speaker 1: for us, by us, you know. Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And we're a positive show and we're still doing we're doing. Actually,
Speaker 1: YouTube is just like a platform that we use pretty
Speaker 1: much to get our show out there, used to bring
Speaker 1: our audio is crazy, man, Like we got a lot
Speaker 1: of people to listen to our audio. James has spent
Speaker 1: his own down. Um you and what we call the Matrix, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Danny Pros, Yeah, because see like like like you said, James,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just you know, to the artist. It's
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, it's really to the brothers and people
Speaker 1: of color, Millane. You don't have to flock to people
Speaker 1: that don't look like you to get your message across, right,
Speaker 1: that's true. Poems man, you have platforms of variety of people. Man,
Speaker 1: you know you know that that you can go to

Speaker 1: You come to get chronicles. Man, it's not everybody that
Speaker 1: has a following. Is somebody got some concrete to say
Speaker 1: that our community everything about gang bang But for us,
Speaker 1: that's our foundation. By being our foundation, we speak on
Speaker 1: to try to deter you. We speak on this show
Speaker 1: you like, if we could do this at our ages
Speaker 1: right now, thank what you could do? One year old?
Speaker 1: Two year old? It's gonna people that don't look like
Speaker 1: you and saying if my ops, if the whoop, the whoops,
Speaker 1: and after whoop the whoops and put yourself out there.
Speaker 1: Why this dude is getting numbers off your perfomer right
Speaker 1: and if you don't know the step and fetching is
Speaker 1: a step and fetch you to you generation now is
Speaker 1: to do that? It's a boss or Stephen from Dadjango.
Speaker 1: Y'all know who he is. Stephen for django for people
Speaker 1: that don't look like you and come on a platform.
Speaker 1: Even if you don't get along with the dude, they're
Speaker 1: gonna allow you to a certain degree to say why
Speaker 1: you don't get along with that dude? Right, they're gonna
Speaker 1: ask you why they're gonna glorify you saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna knock his homies down, but they're gonna say,
Speaker 1: why are you gonna knock his own? Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: respect where you from because we've been there is a
Speaker 1: rerun to us. Y'all be talking that stuff about you,
Speaker 1: O g s you. Oh, here's this y'all. We ain't soft, right,
Speaker 1: that's stick. We got games that you don't know how
Speaker 1: to play and take it too a whole different level. Well,
Speaker 1: some of these catt is getting the picture because some
Speaker 1: of these youngsters is going to jail for a high
Speaker 1: one and when they see they ain't coming home. You
Speaker 1: see them in court crime, So you know they really
Speaker 1: got to pay attention. I think a lot of these
Speaker 1: junctions need to watch first forts. Yeah. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of these little cats they need to start thinking
Speaker 1: like this, what if you have so many neighborhoods out
Speaker 1: here and all of these cats just ceasing the funk
Speaker 1: shooting at each other. Put the guns down to just people,
Speaker 1: all these neighborhoods, and motherfucker is able to go and
Speaker 1: do what they do instead of have to sneak through
Speaker 1: and slide through. And just think where we would be
Speaker 1: how easier it is to make money and for ness
Speaker 1: should have you got a dispensary that stops all street
Speaker 1: sales of Maryjuan of right, they can go to the
Speaker 1: dispensary and do it. Craig Okain ain't going to where
Speaker 1: it used to go, So your hustle is pretty much
Speaker 1: fucked up right now to day. That's why home invasions
Speaker 1: and snatching, grab and all that ship is working the day.
Speaker 1: It just took it to a different level that youngsters
Speaker 1: of the day of making money. It has it's changed,
Speaker 1: we all know that, but just imagine that if we
Speaker 1: didn't have to go through that bullshit. And you can
Speaker 1: take this social media ship and use it for some
Speaker 1: rude ship, just like you were saying, we're not thinking
Speaker 1: where it worked best for it, Brian. We think it
Speaker 1: that quick buck, but so many of them. You on
Speaker 1: five different drugs, man, I've watched them take a Zanni bar,
Speaker 1: an ecstasy pill, a Molly deeper stick, smoke a blunt
Speaker 1: and drink some honey and say I'm cool. Now they
Speaker 1: want all the same time. And then they used the meth,
Speaker 1: the European drug. All so many brothers on that, and
Speaker 1: now they started to mess with the hero because they're
Speaker 1: going from the Zandy bar, which is a downer, to
Speaker 1: the hero. I've seen this, and we were on the
Speaker 1: generation synthetic drugs. But it's not taking nothing from because
Speaker 1: I smoked sum. I don't judge nobody. I smoked cigarets
Speaker 1: for thirty four years. I smoke sere in eighteen years.
Speaker 1: I spoke five packs of camels a day in my
Speaker 1: last two years of smoking. You know that was a
Speaker 1: hundred cigrettes the day I smoked. You know. So, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that we live in a generation is so
Speaker 1: screwed up. Yeah, we dropped the ball, but with I
Speaker 1: tried to explain the generation. Yes, we had all the
Speaker 1: shootings in the eighties, but a lot of people think
Speaker 1: it was because you were blood and I'm a creepy.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that? It was if you had the riety. Nobody
Speaker 1: can encroach on your game right out from that, you know,
Speaker 1: right there, they part you out. I know mine it
Speaker 1: went out a couple of times. My internet went out,
Speaker 1: but I was good to kept your going. I'm signed, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I cut my phone off. But all I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: like in the eighties, everybody thought we were shooting a
Speaker 1: bank bang. They don't understand if the Carver Parks are
Speaker 1: constantly shooting up everybody over here, that's meaning you can't
Speaker 1: come two blocks into our territory over the up a
Speaker 1: rock house. It's no longer like that it was. It
Speaker 1: was emulate the old What did the old gangsters do
Speaker 1: that we all want to emulate. They shot up territories
Speaker 1: to keep them dudes from selling bootleg on Fifth Street
Speaker 1: when they're down there from fifth Street to fifteen Street.
Speaker 1: They don't want the twenty first streets to come from
Speaker 1: fifteenth to fourteenth to take their territory. That's the eighties
Speaker 1: was about. People think it was a gang bang, and
Speaker 1: I think yes it was, but it was a criminal structure.
Speaker 1: Now there's really no criminal structure left because the drug
Speaker 1: added coach. Right. And it's our job though to say
Speaker 1: what we're saying on these platforms. But the point out that, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be that hero went attic in two years,
Speaker 1: You be that method fetter me the head in two years. Right,
Speaker 1: you know they don't get that, man. And then this
Speaker 1: is the one thing I hate about today's society. Man,
Speaker 1: he didn't tell on me. I'm getting money. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get money with him. You were in the street, the
Speaker 1: dude who you said, tell alone me? What would you
Speaker 1: think would happen when you get caught? Right, that's the
Speaker 1: popular saying out there. He didn't tell on me, Man,
Speaker 1: business business zone me. So we live in a society
Speaker 1: of the streets is corrupted, they are polluted, but it's
Speaker 1: still man, and I applout both of you to the extreme.
Speaker 1: Still can't give up and give up the oh't know,
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm gonna tell I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: plan this year. I don't know. I'm done after five years.
Speaker 1: I'm giving five years to the community. Then I'm going
Speaker 1: to see the world if the creators allowed the live
Speaker 1: that long, right, it's crazy. Man. Well you know what, Man,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you coming to the show. And this is
Speaker 1: the first many things. Actually we're gonna talk you know me,
