You know, that's anywhere you go, you know what I'm saying, And uh, put it out of towners. You know, it's a new hustle right now going on called.
Bipping all that car ship car ship.
It's breaking in the cars, you know, out of town's rentals or whatever. So they breaking in cars while nigga's in that motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying.
But at the same time, you know, just keep your personal belongings in the hotel room. You know they doing it now to where people parking with their windows down. Damn some people might leave their doors open just so you know.
Yeah, no, it ain't nothing up in there.
You think you think when like uh you think when like the when the Warriors went away and the Raiders and all the teams went away and.
Ship it was like made the city Like where's all like.
Economically economically yeah, most likely because all the money leaving. But you know what I was just speaking on that's been going on for years is just starting to really now get like, you know, like publicized. Niggas been doing that shit for years. Niggas get rich off that I don't you know, I'm phone with niggas they are man ain't got this rapper jewelry, they got this amount of money. I couldn't believe people leave that type of stuff in the car.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Niggas get caught slipping in the I'm talking about.
Like like four five rolexes thousand and cash left that like it just crazy like ship.
You would never think of it car, but you just slipping. At that point, you got to respect the game in the car. Yeah, ship like that.
They call it trying to sell the ship or trying to sell it back to the artists or it's all type of crazy ship like whatever you think of people the guns, ship money, shit, they break it. They know you out of tell they're breaking the car while you're in here. Take take your whole suitcase.
Damn. So what's the best.
Where you think that? Like, where do you think that stem from?
Like just somebody nigga up, you know what I'm saying.
It big to that point where nigga don't want to hustle. It been going on.
It's just that when nigga starts seeing that, Nigga, you can get really money off that ship. And everybody started sucking with it. Everybody just start fucking with you know buff, Yeah, you got what and like looking at it like we're looking at it like it's so easy.
Yeah, like just a break the window and I can get this, you know what.
And I ain't gotta pull a gun on on nigga, try to tussle.
With guns and everything. Don't try to take your ship back. I'll try to grab your shit out.
Yeah, So what's what's what's some good ship? What's some positive ship? Ship? As of right now us F O D Oakland.
You know what I'm saying, East Oakland. I got like fifteen artists right now, you know what I'm saying throughout the whole East and like what they talking about, you know what I'm saying. We got a variety of different styles, you know what I'm saying, different neighborhoods.
You know.
Shit, we pushing And then I can't remember exactly like how far back this was, but I know you had.
One hundred pair of red.
Bottom and giveaway for the all of the people that had at least a three point Do you have any plans on doing anything similar to that in the near future.
I haven't done anything similar to that, but every year I do charity events from back to school, Thanksgiving, Christmas every year. I've been doing that for like the past eight nine years.
Cool.
Yeah, I did that because I just had them shoes sitting in the house and I was looking at them, and.
I got a hundred pair of red bottoms sitting.
I had more than one hundred, but I mean, you know, accumulated over years.
I buy them all in one year, so I cuminate over years.
So I'm like, man, it was something I put my foot in my mouth. I said I was gonna do it, so I had to do it.
Yeah. Yeah.
The biggest events and disavents of living up here doing lows.
To a music it's really no, it's no record, like what's here when people think of that's the discipent. Yeah, so so in no radio play, so like the South for y'all at y'all got urban urban radio stations, Yeah, we don't have that here. So it's like whatever they plan has already written out that we played. If we got to like like a big DJ really got to try to break up artists and they really can't, like we're overhead, ain't gonna let them do, And then we don't have like a real big.
Night life you know, and a lot of y'all got strip.
Clubs, break records. We don't have that type of shit here, So break records. Yeah, it ain't no breaking man. We got we got we got people trying to do a little after hours like book pays, uh DJ millions, a couple other guys today doing like underground underground hip hop after our things and playing records. Thats what's hot in the streets or whatever. But that's only going so far. So I tell my artists it is like, you gotta
get out. You gotta you gotta out, you gotta get on the road, you gotta do press runs, you gotta.
Go shake your hand and meet a friend. You get what I'm saying.
You gotta go getting these DJ faced, especially if you're trying to break a record, like get hot where you at and then branch out.
So I know that you were you're planning a tour with fab and like some of the other like like I know, it's like long long, long ago, but then you had an unfortunate situation where you got locked up, and you know what I'm saying, you have some shit go down or whatever. So what exactly led up to that and what changes did you make to make sure that that same type of situation didn't happen to you again.
So I always wanted bigger and better just in life period, not even just in music. So I'm like, okay, cool, I got some relationship with some guys from Oakland that's doing what they're doing. Let's put something. So we put something together. But a lot of things gotta be funded. Studio gotta be funded, videos gotta be funded.
Flyers.
At this time, we pressing up albums, posters, whatever. So I mean they ain't had no nine to five, so it's still still on the block, right, So you might catch a couple of hiccups. I ain't catch a pistol case, so you catch your dope case, right. So that's what that led up to, you know, trapping. You know I s got kids take care of you know what I'm saying right right, I ain't had nobody put me in the studio and pay for it or pay for my videos or shit like that that you.
Know we gotta pay for as in being a rapper. Yeah, you know what you saying.
Some keys from transitioning from you know what I'm saying, like the streets all the way.
Into just the industry.
What's some keys to like even the youngsters out there that's trying to transition.
To shoot, what's the key to transitioning?
Yeah?
Uh, it was hard for me, like I said, cause of.
The funding for me.
But once you start seeing a fan base, once you start seeing a revenue off of it, then that's like an eye opening like, okay, cool, I could do. This started from when Ninka Ride pass playing your music like ooh, and it's like okay. Then you get a check from iTunes and book from a book for a show.
But how you deal with that check from iTunes not being the check.
Back then I'm not talking about I guess right then you know it's all streaming and everything different right now, but I'm talking back. Okay, cool, they're fucking with me. So now it's like okay, man, I gotta.
Go even harder. So that was some advice that Dolphin gave me, Like.
Once you get, once you once you get popping, once you get how you gotta go even harder.
A lot of people want to stagnate and be content.
And you know what I'm saying, now, you you made one hit, he only made when he can he make.
Two or he made two, he can't make three, you know what I'm saying.
So it's like a lot of people.
I don't ever stop, Like every day I'm doing something musically, like if I'm not even rapid, if it's getting an artist album cover done, mixing master in a video, whatever, I'm doing something musically. That's the way you're gonna be getting great with this ship.
Think easy city, like wreck your music and.
The easiest city.
I couldn't say Atlanta because Atlanta really don't break the South.
I mean not to break like California niggas like that, like you know what I'm saying, But here I would have to say like.
La because that's closed. But like they got labels there, we don't got no labels here. The biggest thing we got here is empire, you know what I'm saying. So it's like like in the South ship, I've been moving around the South like can the scream before.
You know it?
It's a it's a support. I don't watch it. I have seen little baby bus everybody push on it. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Out of seen future.
I've seen everybody get behind everybody. Yeah, got that here, it's crabbing the buckets.
You know what I'm saying.
Its crabbing the buckets a certain few that dude like funck with each other, but everybody don't.
So how do you prevent that crabbing a bucket mentality from discouraging you to go harder?
Like you said, I know what I want.
I know what I want, Thomas, since thin't thank common, so a lot of people they get they get stuck in the in the like, oh man, nigga ain't fucking yeah shit, I don't eve a fucking niggas fucking me. That's not you know what I'm saying. I was born this motherfucker by myself and can go by myself. So I'm doing this for myself. I'm not doing this for you, and I'm not the type of nigga for everybody life. I don't if everybody likes you, something wrong, you know
what I'm saying. So like that's my whole mentality anyway. Plus that's my transition.
From the block.
That's how it was on the block before rapping.
You know what I'm saying, I dealt with niggas on the block and not liking so rapping really, you know, you mad at me because I'm I'm rapping better, or I got more shows, or or the people like me more like, that's that's minor, you know.
What I'm saying. Like, so it's just that basically, like you know, you got you gotta think outside of and know that that color. If you ain't ready for hate, you ain't.
Ready for sucess.
So how important do you think like family, well not even necessarily like blood family, but like your friends that are family are to your or.
Let me ask you this, how do.
You think how important do you think your friend's family is relative to your success when you're coming up as far as.
Support your friends family?
Yeah, Like, like like your niggas that you look like as your brother's probably more than your like fucking mother's brothers.
I'm actually closer to.
My day ones and niggas from my neighborhood and my family at Yeah, so because we end up becoming family due to not having a family support, right, you know what I'm saying. So me looking up to the older niggas in in the hood, me not having the pops in my life made me look up to them, you know what I'm saying, and learn things that I should
have been learning from pops, learning from them. So it plays a big part because I feel like it's a support system and you need that, especially if you you know you doing this.
Like everything I do, I do for my kids. My son is here, I do for.
My neighborhood, I do for my family also, like I take pride in doing for and seeing other people successful.
The people that you care about, Yeah, people, I care about that.
But if you got a if you got a crew, in your opinion, like if you got a crew of like, let's say twenty people, because we see a lot of shit going on in the media, but if you got a crew of twenty people, that average crew, not necessarily saying your crew, if it comes down to it and shit hit the fan in them cruise, how many people
you think gonna keep it silent? Because we're seeing like multiple crews, not pointing at just one situation, but we're seeing like multiple situations where niggas might rowing ten niggas, twenty niggas, thirty niggas, But when they come down to it, it's almost like the people that you expect to keep it silent, don't it vice versa.
What's your thoughts on that I've seen a saying one somewhere.
I think it's say, like, is it a three out of four or one out of three niggas in the groove?
Oh a snitch? One out of three? Yeah, I believe I've seen that somewhere. I believe two out of three, like three out of four, it's one or two, you know what I'm saying. So what what kind of mindset would that put?
You're just saying in general, you and if you know you with you like you with ten niggas, like.
If somebody gonna throw I mean, is it something that you can't control? Like you won't find out into it happened. You will hope that everybody stay solid. But I mean, what niggas you know how.
You feel me to stay solid?
You know?
So that's the part of part of it, Like you never know into it happened. You can't really they could be a gangster, this nigga, touch this nigga in the world until something happening and something changed, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy. It's another famous lyric.
That resonates with La Face with the opening booty here, where where did that?
What did that?
What does that mean?
Like, why do you think, man, that's before my time? But apparently a pretty face and a nice ass what I'm saying, so.
Than lasses probably at that time.
Yes see, right now, I probably like a probly I'll probably.
Say like a uh.
See, I'm like thick.
Women, you know what I'm saying, because I used to be skinning.
I used to be real skin you know what I'm.
Saying, So it wouldn't count be no bones hit no bones, you know what I'm saying.
It just like thick women.
So I probably like an l A ass or a Houston ad. I mean Atlanta ass or Houston as you can drag Atlanta to.
Face.
It ain't really it ain't really like it ain't that many thick ones like that out here though.
It's more slimmer kind of like in La though.
Yeah, So what else we need to know about? Ok, We're gonna shopping with the Home of hisstor Fam course, shout the Fam week.
We got a lot of going on. Shout out my brother Lord rapping the building.
We got a good podcast going on, No voltures uh.
Coming out of East Stokeland Shipping and f O D.
Man were pushing, you know, Shout out my bro Fast for always showing love and support.
You know what I'm saying, Everything I got going on, So it's only right that I you.
Know, returned in favor, you know what I'm saying. So that's what we build on. You know what I'm saying, Like, that's type of ship. Like you know, it's gonna be the fake the snakes and the haters and all that, but now that ain't us. We stay away from that, you know what I'm saying. The chosen few, and that's why we've been here. That's why we're the successful ones. Like I tell the nigga nigga mad at by another man's success.
Hey, don't be mad at me, be mad at God.
Because if God wanted you to be successful, and we'll be sessful, right, you know what I'm saying. So that's what I'm not stopping you from being successful.
Something you must you must not be resonating with the people or God ain't fucking with you.
You know what I'm saying, For you to be where you where you need to be. So you need to go have a talk with a couple of you know what I'm saying, Right.
These niggas to take it out on you like you stopped.
Them from telling them me right every time you stopped if you wanted to.
If they wanted to book you for a show, they're gonna book you. If they wanted always somebody else that somebody escape thought.
Ye ain't gonna oh man, he's doing this.
Or they'll say that we the gatekeepers and locking them out.
I'll be hearing that ship.
There's no way for that to happen.
It's it's it's it's social media. You're gonna man, you could DM a nigga right now. There's no way that you know what I'm saying. Niggas say, hey, man, don't fuck with that nigga. That don't even sound right coming out of my mouth. I ain't got no time to even telling them.
Turn out what the next guy tell the next man? I have to fuck with the next man. You know what I'm saying. I tell him, Man, go buy that nigga ship. Even the niggas that don't like to go by it. I ain't gonna stop me forgetting mine right.
So you appreciate you believe in accountability, of course, sure it was one time when you had just man ever say man, I gotta be accountable for this ship Ship.
Ship just I just had a fair case.
I just fought and I was up against it.
You know what I'm saying, My Cody and I had the whole accountability, Like should I was wrong, I was gonna end up taking the time so my Cody can get off, you know what I'm saying.
But ship where it worked.
I ended up getting the same thing as my co defending and got the probation.
But should I was ready to go take the thirty three months because I was I was wrong, you know what I'm saying.
As in me being a feeling from California and me not knowing that.
I wasn't supposed to be in a gun store, you know what I'm saying.
So by me not being by me not knowing, I'm thinking it's legal.
I'm in Las Vegas.
But they try to switch the narrative as I got my co defending buying.
Guns for me.
So I'm like, Okay, yeah, I'm wrong for being in a gun store by being a feeling, which I didn't know.
Okay, oh kind of take that.
But I'm not gonna let this nigga go down because of my.
Ignorant Yeah, but you know, it just for one, it was just like this person had a gun license, this person had a gun. It was returning the gun getting another one. I'm near with him, so now it made it a legal They trying to label as a straw purchaser.
And I got combined guns for me and all type of shit.
So I'm like, oh, I take the thirty three months, let them.
Get off, you know what I'm saying. But the lawyer went in there.
I spent like three hundred on my lawyer, you know what I'm saying, and had since Si Miranda had all type of letters from fab Empire on my community service.
And family members and everything.
And you know, the lawyer, he ended up saying some I'm not the lawyer to judge, end up saying some. Ship like he watched a movie called Shane when he was a kid, and Shane carried a gun, but he was for his people, right, so that didn't make him a bad guy.
So because you wanted the carriag, then that don't make you a bad guy.
Let's see all this good shit you got going on.
I ain't gonna take you from your family that real. And you know, Da was in there, Mad kept coughing, you know, what I'm saying. While he.
Making this announcement or whatever he said, I ended up getting a twenty four months probation. Okay, you know what I'm saying. But I was gonna hold my accountability. I was ready to gonna do what I had to do.
We're always giving gym was on big fast man. What's the big gym you want to give to the big fascination out there?
Standing on your fitness, stand on your square, and you know understand that everybody ain't.

This is the fad. Be yourself.
Were donna feel you know, it's gonna be more authentic, more genuine, and you're gonna feel better when you do succeed because once you do it like that, every day you're gonna have to remember, oh y'all.

Fad Wee twenty twenty four is going down. Big Fast is touchdown, Baby j DJ screen We hear the Man of the outer Man of the Week is here. Mister fab You know what I'm saying.
To the baby. There's nothing but loved. You can't give him no hour. He go on Monday to Monday week for the city week.
Man as a tithe boss. It's Monday to Monday, man. We do seven days.
How many years? Four? Yeah?
So yeah, But it wasn't always a week like I started off with just like two three days, but now it's just got into a week. I just felt like the purpose of it is, you know, community empowerment, economical development, workforce flooding, and a lot of influxs of what we can do with our influence in the community.
M hm.
So, speaking of community empowerment, I was reading that you do like a lot of like annual events for like Thanksgiving, Christmas, like different holidays and stuff like that, but you also focused on two separate causes, which are cancer and domestic violence. You want to talk a little bit more about what you've been doing for those things.
A lot of the things that we do in the community because it's never me, it's always weak. This year is our twentieth year of our annual Philanthic philanthropy accent in the community Philanthropic cancer. My mother died from cancer. My mother had a rare cancer. My mother had a cancer where it was like only like eight people I've ever had this cancer before. It's like super rare, like
super duper rare. And it droves me closer to kind of interrogating and discovery of what it is and how we can go through preventive measures and trying to figure out and catch things before they happen, especially us, a lot of us. You know, some of the things that are hereditary, are our lifestyle, are eating habits and things of that nature, and so.
We have to focus on that.
And once informed, it's our job to give back, to teach and share. So that domestic of violence. My father would you know, be very useful with my mother.
So a lot of the things that I do is is off my childhood.
You witnessed you wanted to change it.
Definitely, it's it's it's reverse engineering on childhood trauma.
And you always always lived in Oakland.
From forever for sure, Born and Rais would you ever consider would you move?
You think.
What I buy land and other countries, what I buy houses like we've already done, you know. Of course we've always had spots in a and you know, Vegas and things of that nature. But Oakland is home for me. And one of the reasons why it's home for me, I'm connected on different energies, on different levels. You know, I think this is my reset, you know, my my my reset. And when when life becomes you and I have confidential talks a lot, and when we when we when we do speak on what it is that we
speak on. Those things are heavy to me and it's very important to me and I don't know if I could live life outside of being able to go to my reset spots. So so Oakland is Oakland is homely me.
When I.
So, let me ask you this, since Oakland is home two words mac Dre hyphe what do those mean to you?
Dre was my big dog man.
You know, I'm one of the last artists that Macdre actually uh physically signed to his label, and we were able, we signed up for.
The adventure and shortly after he was he was murdered.
And so I feel like it's my my obligation to continue to carry his legacy as.
Well as curating my own right.
But you know, I always represent from mac Dre as a major part of a demographical icon and and what he was able to do around the country abroad from someone from such a small area, how his influence was able to touch so many different people from all around the country, and you know, and being traveling to Europe and traveling around the world seeming his influence there. So uh, it will always be a part of me. And I'll always speak of him in high fashion.
What type of influence shout play played on you?
Though?
That's my rap dad me too, Like for real, like me and short me and Shortest like like I call I call him pops, So I'll call him sometimes like that what you're doing? Like for real, Like that's our relationship. Like Shorts known me since I was eight years old, nine years old. My mom used to run a club right around the corner from here, and I was the kid, little shorty in the club. So Short would always be like, brother, what your young ass doing here?
Man? Like you know what I'm saying.
Why he always around all these old people? You got an old spirit. So I've been around him so long. And then and rap like I remember being the a back in the day, Like you know what I'm saying in the uh in the former life allegedly trapping out there, And I remember the record y'all did when you was first, when you was rapping. You know what I'm saying back in the day, you're sure Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that on your early record.
Yeah yeah, yeah, youah, I'm saying, yeah, he's on remix, on the remix, he's on remix one shot on the remix of that.
He got on it. He got on that, well, bij got on the record.
Well it was a record I know, yeah, Yeah, I'm crazy.
Man was on the record. Man, this record was.
Man, you talking about the remix to try it out.
It's always on the rest a record with Blacks show Man. We was in Atlanta and we you came up talking about where we was and you was like, Dad, make it on this thing.
I wrote it.
I'm like, I know the record man, whatever that is so much said my former life you say for I forgot him.
It's a record your dog did. Man. I can believe it though, but naw, that nigga that raised me on it.
But yeah, it's fucked. He fucked my trust up for women too. Man, that that nigga shout.
Man.
See he be saying, then, dog Man is a dog is a h that's ay a god to me, you know what I'm saying, Like a uh, that's a rap god.
Man.
And and and too Shortest one of those guys.
When you dive into the dichotomy of everything that he's brought in as a music enthusiasts, you'll be like, damn, this dude then did everything. And I always love Short for always grabbing me in, embracing me and just showing me the love that he showed me.
Man, and that's that's my dog.
So how does it make you feel to see him at the Sundance Film Festival about to premiere and debut his movie Skiing on the Slopes.
I love it.
I love I love everything that's happening for him. I love I love the rest of the world.
Getting a chance to experience, experience the short experience.
You know, he's one of the when you hear the greatest storytellers ever and you hear the rappers talk about.
You know, they'll name the slick Ricks and they'll name uh the ice Q.
They'll name a lot of these rappers from different regions, and it's always troubling the meat and I always not hear his name mentioned as far as greater storytellers. This is a guy who had a song for seven minutes just talking about getting women.
And you know, he.
Was able to vividly depict what Oakland looked like for individuals that may have never ever stepped foot in California. And so you know, this is all through Rapp and the art of storytelling was something that he built his whole career off.
And so to be able to.
Hear his name mentioned nowadays in certain conversations. It's a relief for me because I'm just I'm happy to get a chance to witness him receive flowers.
Right right, right, exactly exactly.
Big Fast is the perfect place to pop your ship. We're gonna push you into pop on your ship. So the first thing I want to talk about is that ping game. A lot of people don't know their favorite records was written by this man right here the pub check's crazy.
Talk about some of the records that you eat this road records.
You know it's free man at this age, Man, I ain't the one to you know, what's the records?
If you know, you know, you feel me.
It's just it's a couple of records.
Man, it's a few little records.
I had a chance man in link in with a lot of people, man, a lot of network and a lot of records being wrote.
That keeps some of them records. It is confidential. You can't speak on.
Some records or compidential. Some records are just respect. Life of the parties Atlanta based record headband. Okay, you know, yeah.
It's it's it's it's a lot of records, man, you know what I'm saying.
It's cool, you know, what I'm saying, some regional, some you know, worldwide, some nationwide. But hey man, it's a passion and it's also another outlet for artists to realize that you don't just always have to be the front man.
You can play the behind the scenes.
And and uh, it'd be cool, man, it'd be cool to see sometimes, you know, the publishing checks come out the blue.
Sometimes you be like damn as we're like, oh that was cool that I need.
That, Like I'm saying, so yeah, man, it be it be lit though, Man, I enjoyed.
It for and for and furthermore popular ship a little more. What about some of them businesses? We know you got dope, air restore.
Clothing store, nightclub, a couple of nail shops, museum. We run a marketing company. We also have just ventured into of recently. As I was telling you, I run a program in a workshop called the Therapy, which has intertwined inside of the youth. We're getting a contract now and I just did a merger and acquisition with the Warriors.
We did a partnership the Warriors and Kaiser being able to.
Being able to serve black men in the mental health field, something that's rarely talked about or embraced. Some of us have issues with seeking the help that we actually need because of the stigmas of.
Black men don't search the therapy.
So breaking that stigma and the monotony on what receiving help looks like. And so we've created that that program, and these are just things of dealing with what we're doing,
you know, in the community. So I'm terly looking focused on that in twenty twenty four, of diving more into that being able to help, because in that discovery, we'll realize that some individuals that we thought were crazy or that we thought was just always they actually just have functioning autism, and due to medical apartheid, they were never able to be properly diagnosed, so they grew up normalizing some atrocious things.
And now we have to dive into that to be able.
To show them, hey man, we're not calling you slow, we're not seeing you special needs. We're just trying to extract something from you to open it up and realize, damn, I did.
Never I never knew that I was dealing with this.
With some we'd be like, by crazy, dude had autism?
Dude, had you know, a functioning.
Autism where his parents was more embarrassed and to actually go get the necessary help that he needed, and they normalized it and allow him to grow up.
Thinking that it was something else.
Now self diagnosis, diagnosed, you self medicated, but now.
You self medicaid and we all know that. You know, frustration and resentment are the parents of violence.
What's some of the shits you got in the museum right now?
There's just some tribute.
I have a big a tribute to mc Hammer to me, which is the greatest man on Earth. It's a big Hammer is just the greatest guy on Earth. You got to think being a young poor kid growing up in the projects, seeing Hammer pull up in Ferraris and everything drive through, that was.
What for sure? You got that.
Like people play with Hammer outside of it, like they play games, but they will never play with him, Like they never played with him. They could talk it all of what they never played with him. Hammer old school jump out was handing what you say, run that right now?
It's like I'm just saying, I want to know, let's go regular nigga right now.
Behind We're gonna get him. You even gonna stop talking.
We canna get him dancing that nigga beat your ass.
And his family was with all the activities, like I'm talking about every activity you could think of his brother and then was with like like not playing.
You think you're gonna talk to us at some point, Hamal, don't do no interviews, Dawn.
He's so I used to think that it was over protective of his story, but now he's just valuing what he is. He said some stuff the other day at the Tupac revealing. They gave Tupac a street name, the street after Tupac, and he was like, I'm sixty years old. I'm not playing games with none of these artists. I'm not going to go to these parties to fake mingle. Y'all hated me my whole life, my whole career. Y'all try to make a mockery of everything that I've done,
laughed at. But now y'all want me to come be a part of y'all celebrations and all of that.
I'm not doing it.
But I think it's a lesson to be learned in I don't know if the specifically it's a lesson to be learned from him financially having that product, that money.
But the money that he fucked off is something that what we have to be educated on because when we think bankrupt in that time and when hip hop was stated in how people use it in context, we all thought that he just went broke, when in actuality, Donald Trump has filed bankrupt over so many of these people
that have understanding ofinancial literacy. They understand that these chapter eleven, chapter thirteen thouars for bankruptcy will make you say mc hammy don't have no money, Stanley moreal, dude, So his bankruptcy wasn't you on eyes or paying hers? So yeah, I may not have fifty million no more, but despite ten million, I'm still good with you. You've never seen him see Hammer on a Southwest flight. Ain't never seen him flying in regularly? Like what I'm saying, like Hammery,
Like Hammery. People forget Hammer was actually a guinea pig.
No, he was a guinea pig for the tech world.
And what I mean by that is he was the first one to dibble and dabble in Twitter. He was Google to find out the analytics of how those things work, and in those partnerships, he was able to receive percentages from these high tech companies. So a lot of people don't know about that side of the money that him, Like, Hammer is that.
Dude, But I feel like not a coach will I feel like in terms of I felt like in terms of financial literacy and learning what to do and what not to do with your money. I'm probably gonna catch a lot of flat for this, but I feel like the mc hammer of this world walked so the Fat Joe could fly because Fat Joe fucked up his money on his on his niggas too.
A lot of a lot of people do that, yeah, him and him like listen, commercial hammerin no money problems.
Yeah, but he blew through that ship on these niggas.
But to be able. But but and this was this was his question.
And then I'm gonna get back to the originally answer and what's in the museum?
Uh? What Hammer said? Something real?
He said, it's okay for people to rap about killing, destroying, destruction, polluting our communities and they become praised. He say, but people look at me and say, you took two hundred people on tour and wasted your money and blew your money. He said, what about these two hundred people who lives? I'll change who I got a chance to go see the world. Who I got a chance to get away from the negativity that was going on here in Oapen, California.
These lines that I changed, are we equating money and changing lines?
He said, I would do it again any.
Day because I can always make money, I can't always save these lines. So his sacrifice, if that was his sacrifice, the twenty thirty forty fifty million whatever he blew, he didn't care about that.
But see, I, like you said, I guess that's a part of the misconception because like people like me and other people that don't know that, Okay, even though he found bankruptcy, but he didn't go broke or thinking like, Okay, he blew his money and he fucked up. Now he's living on the street because he tried to take care.
Of these ns.
That's what That's how they tried to paint the picture like in the media of him going broke and him fucking up that money.
Because you gotta think, the further that we become informed and educated, Yeah, the further they would push information back, right as if they said in hitting Characters when she said the closer way we get to the finish line, the further, they put it back, so in understanding that.
We have to learn that. Okay, let me learn from Hamburg.
But as you said, he sat down a great baseline on what we could study from and in that blueprint. So now as we stand on the precipice of receiving these funds and everything that people do, now we can educate ourselves and say, oh, I ain't finna blow it like that. I'm gonna get a little bit more frugal. But if you ask him, he said, man, I'll do it again. This is one thing that he told me.
He said.
The only thing that I would change is I wouldn't believe as many stories.
And he would be like, people would.
Come up to me and be like, yo, man, my daughter a finna get kicked out of college. Man, I need twenty thousand making year. He's like, man, give it to her. He said, somebody, come on, man, mind he got cancer. Man, we're trying to get some help with the research. He said, I wouldn't believe as many stories.
And one thing that he told me is you have to know your know meaning k n O w n O. To know your know you, I'm said, and once you know, you'll know you can learn to tell people, nah, we ain't on that.
I'm cool off a so. But Hammer is the greatest guy on earth. Man. I love that dude. I love his heart.
He's a He's just a great man man. And so I have a big a tribute to him in there. Of course, I have a big a painting of too Short and Huey Newton, which is you know, to me, those are like kind of like the dynamics of who I'm built in a mixture of I'm a mixture of Hughey Newton, MC Hammer and too Short. And that's Oakland, if you you know, if you if you understand what
Oakland is. And the site is all activated by augmented reality, this new technology where we have these things created by a black man, uh where when you put this certain app to the pictures, all of the pictures come to life in the museum.
So it's actually the first it's hard. It's actually the first.
Figital which is physically physical and digital museum to where now we have a physical where you can touch it, but digitized through the augmented reality. So as we release that in the March, we're going to open up those things.
Man. And it's a great experience.
You had to say, so to change one thing in Oakland world, would it be the abandonment of the youth. Sometimes we often talk about how the youth are crazy and the youth have run wild.
And this is not just in Oakland. This is in Atlanta.
This is in Baltimore, Detroit and all of the inner cities where people have to understand they have this thing out here called bipping, and bipping is in the breaking windows.
Talking about it.
It's big about bipping, right, And me and a friend of mine, an elder guy, we talked about. He was like, man, these young dudes is crazy. Man, They're out here breaking windows. And I stopped them at that moment. I said, can I ask you a question? And I was like, y'all so cracked, y'all so cracked to our mamas, y'all so cracked to our grandmamas, y'all so cracked to everybody in our generation, our aunties and everything.
Y'all broke up.
Families are broken windows worse than breaking broken families.
So so you know what I'm saying.
So we're talking about a secondary issue and ignoring the primary issue. The primary issue is this is conditioned from the things that they've done.
So now, if the.
Generation before us don't want to take accountability and the young generation is lost in abandoned, of course they run wild. They begin to survive when the water boys out there in Atlanta selling waters and.
Doing what they doing. They hustling.
But if y'all not buying them waters, then they start riving. The question is, man, these dudes out here riving, I don't want to stop. Well, we ain't nobody supporting them, Ain't nobody giving them nothing to eat. You leave a kid in the jungle, and you say, well, do what you gotta do.
Well, man, I'm finna survive. So I got to.
If I got to kill this rhinoceros, this girabbe, this zebra, this, I got to do whatever I do, and I might eat a poisonous fraw, I might get bit by a poisonous snake.
But since you've abandoned me.
In this jungle, don't don't have no comments about what I'm doing to survive because you don't care. So you can pretend to care, but you can't pretend to show up. And a lot of people out here is pretending to care. But they abandoned in these children. That's why when you ask me in the aforementioned how do I feel about Oakland? I can't leave Oakland just based off the fact of I care. I care too much. Maybe that might be my sickness. But if that's my sacrifice.
This so be it. I feel shit for real, This shit.
Nig gotta get back to Karen bro I get back to pouring in a lot of niggas taking out. We make so much money from rap, from hustling, from tramping, whatever it is, and we selfish, we self centered, we self center. Last year fad Week I spent about two hundred three hundred thousand dollars, but it was more so just so some folks could have something to do. This year I spent about one hundred and fifty thousand just to be able to say, Yo, won't y'all have.
Something to do?
Come on, y'all want to come somewhere, y'all want to come chill. Let's get away from it for a SECONDA And to me, that's the care. The money ain't the problem. I can always make money. I never had a problem making money.
We solve.
Let's just never had a problem making money.
Ever, I'm talking about selling baseball cards, selling clothes, selling shoes, selling hund selling weed.
Self whatever.
I never had a problem making money. I can always make the money back. But nobody have the good memories to talk about. They gon'n talk about the stuff that we didn't did for years from.
Now for real. Wow, that's real, bro, We'll talk though, man.
Other than that that, man, I just want to say, take a second to thank y'all for coming out here just based My main thing was, like I said, I just wanted y'all man, just come on out. I don't expect nothing from y'all, but just y'all appearance and y'all just to be able to say, Man, y'all got a chance to come out, show some hospitality whatever y'all.
May have needed.
You know, you on ice cream. We've been rocking for a long time. And uh and black what you represent, man for the culture of you represent transition, Thank you and transformation for individual to say, man, look what I'm doing. Look what I went from being a dope boy, belly temmy, hustling, grinding, won't, won't, grilled up, won't y'all know what it is when y'all come to Atlanta, it's on me like the character that was depicted in Snow.
Patrol was actually the lifestyle that you had lived. Yeah, but I'm just saying allegedly, allegedly. You get what I'm saying.
But to see you now, to see you getting your run and getting your job on, losing weight, physical fitness, getting the grill out of your mouth, taking that's transition to transformation fast, and us as hustlers that come from the street, we need to see that.
After it is possible to tell us to get money. John Teller never tell us what to do with it. So we blow it.
We spent it on cars, drugs, girls, whatever it is.
We blow it. But now here's the after step of trapping. It's still in me. It's just in me.
On another way, Yeah, yeah, I know there's a lot of mother got that wants some pay back from way back to so it's still it's still in me.
So we watch it like I said, you know, just like.
And I tell all my people, no matter how big you get, never be naive to what somebody else don't have. In fact, I said it a long time ago, never be blind to a broken man's dream. So you see me, I'm like, that's time that's the top time my moment. I told you that's what it was. You told me that's what it is. That's the top of time, my mom.
You know, I felt like I may want to get some eat before I saw you, so I got that again.
What I'm saying though, but that's what time the time, because I under that's just a trapper alliance exactly. And no matter how like like like OH said, man, I'm up, but I still can't cut behind the world times.
That's what that is, right, I ain't gonna have foolish I know. The next time you're in the city, I gotta come to the A.
At the end of next month, we're doing some stuff, me and Jazzy uh doing some some writing stuff, man, and I'm gonna come out here and dribble and.
We gotta get out there and get a full episode that man.
Come on, man for real.
And like I said, while y'all time here, man, I want you to come to the you know, basketball game and just chill.
This was like some real, just subtle things.
I was just trying to fill up the schedule and I was like, man, let me put some let me let me let me.
Give y'all a free little couple of day vacation. Yeah, I appreciate that. I got some risks.
I've been working your last yesterday.
And I wanted to just introduce y'all to some folks that's in our area. Man.
So if it's just some little spot, even if it's just shaking hands, it's a lot of talented artists here.
Man. Man, it's some uh, some poles in the room right now. You gotta you got Pedro who he's he's with FOD.
But this dude is like, this dude is I did a fashion show the other night.
This dude designed the clothes and a.
Fashion show he performed. He's producer, he's a poet. He's a young dude that really exemplifies what it's like trying to make it out of the struggle.
You got so vicious, you got a course.
You know, we don't we know the Larry Jones, we know the we know the Camayas, but you got the just Bangs.
You got, you know the tds, the Padrees.
It's some young dudes out here that's really working their ass off and they just.
Need to have that lens on them. You know.
Unfortunately, as we talked about with you, and Field was talking about it's no outlets like that. It's like all it is is Gotti and Gazi hands is so full. He can't be hands on with everybody like he wants was, so it's hard for him to touch the young dudes. And now he has like penny Stocks with Empire, and what I mean by that is let me just go grab hell of artists and just put y'all stuff out and you make money off that.
But it ain't like he can't touch everybody when he was first starting it.
So sometimes you'll get stranded on the island as an artist, and then there's nobody educating these like people on.
How to put music out.
So you see these kids with abundance of talent and they just don't know to know how, and people be so frustrated with teaching they get mad at you.
I'm like, nigga, you don't know how to upload. No, I don't niggas educate me teaching.
So we just got to create those outlets, man. But it's so much talent in the Bay like I'm talking about. You know, the Bay is sectioned off like New York and Borough, so Richmond, Berkeley, Valeo, Oakland stocked in.
Heywark, We'll stocking us a little bit further.
But all up in there stocking like the hottest right now on the EBK crew, they got the hottest shit in Northern California right now stocked in sacking. It's just a lot of talent, man, and I wish that I could bring all of them to y'all. And since I can't, I wanted to bring y'all here and open up the floodgates.
If they show, they show, if they.
Don't, And who you think the next person is coming out? Like bloody right on the right, on the what you got when.
On the press office, right on the on the runway on the faraway. I like dB by the Bag he's from Sacramento. I like, uh, who else? I like it's a It's an R and B artist that I've been working with named Derrick Neely. I'm talking about this dude, like like if Chris Brown decided to retire, he could he could be like all right, I'm here. He's super dope, talented field, got a whole crew. His whole FOD crew is crazy. They work in their ass off where I'm
from Norfolkland. Man, All my young dudes like I'm from the smallest side of Oakland. So all my young dudes they hungry and they just feel like nigga niggas don't fuck with us, like we're from up we from were from the isolated side of Oakland, like we're from the smallest side. So all my young dudes got like chips on their shoulder because they feel like the rest of the city don't rock with them like that.
But but it's love.
But it's a dude named Fredro Baggs out here right now. He's like he a fool, He a fool with it. He from East Oakland. He he the voice of the youngsters like he are. But the only thing that break us up out here is the gang banging. The gang banging, it mess our culture up a little bit. Man, So if the brothers could come together, you got the trill youngest. These dudes are some of the most talented young dudes, but a lot of people be intimidated about their movement.
So it's a lot of talented dudes like man, I hate naming some without naming the others because I feel like I might have missed out or left out on some people. But all through Oakland, North East West.
It's talent, man. We just got to be able to grab the same in Atlanta, same everywhere else.
Somebody just got to put the limbs on them.
One more quick question to what you know if you you can watch certain movies and they'll depict street life in l A, New York, Atlanta, is there that movie for the bait? Or if not, why hasn't anybody ever made a movie about the bait?
Like you know, what's so crazy?
Me and Glasses had a conversation the other day, Right, where's he been? G La been on this? You've been on this hustle them? Yeah, he's just on that. He been grinding.
I'm fun with Hall all right, like paus.
If that's what needed, I don't know, but.
But gee, I'm my dog though, like you know what I'm saying. And he was talking.
He tried to tell me that Minister Society was a bay movie, right, let me give you, let me give you, let me give you his I said it wasn't, so I'm in agreeance with you.
But after further how laying at him, I was like, okay, come on with so.
Of course you had short you had a lot of bay cats in that movie, as short, you have who man, you had some of the directors that a lot of Bay Area based stuff, right, the soundtrack you had some bay Airy music on it.
He said, how is this movie in l A? In Grave Street? None of them were wearing purple. Ain't no rags.
Nobody is saying blood or cus. He like, He's like, nobody is saying none of that. He was like, and all of the main characters was like, can start selling dope?
He got his dough from an Oakland nigga?
Yeah, yeah, he say, right, the war kicked off when his cousin got killed.
His cousin was an Oakland nigga. Yeah, like you know what I'm saying.
He was like, by what you're saying, Chauncey was uh, Chauncey got you feel me?
Like when when they sitting up there watching the movie, He's like, younger, fun, what're talking about? Nigga?
This looked like came with your ass. That's an Oakland nigga. I was poor man, aggravating.
Intensifying.
In l A.
So this what he this what he was saying, though, he was like, nigga, how was this the l A movie?
Nigga? Ain't in this the nineties.
So basically he's saying that Oakland was robbed.
He was saying it was Oakland based.
Me.
It was like it was La gang culture, but the theme of it was Aukland because in the nineties, it's no gang association.
Like Nigga, Oh Dog, the hardest young nigga out there. He ain't got a rag on, he ain't banged one.
Time, he ain't seen king, what's up cut, He ain't banged one time.
Just nigga, the wildest young nigga. He don't got a.
Gun talking about nigga, this crip, this great street Nigga. Great Streets was extra back then, and so Short Short.
Was like nigga.
Short was like nigga, I don't know what the fuck glasses talking about nigga him.
Niggas was gag banging hard offs the set.
He was like on the set, niggas three hundred, great street Niggas, purple everything. But then when you look at it, you look like, this can't be La. Ain't no gang banging representation. There's no blue rags, no red rags, no purple rags, no nothing.
It's a clean cut version of it. And I say, oh, that's crazy.
But to answer your question, I think because directors have not been tapped into the energy of debate for so long. Most of the most of the directors are LA based, or they come from other areas and go to LA. But I think with the resurgence and the emergence of some of these directors such as Ryan Coogler who's from Oakland and shout out to Richmond, Richmond tis as well. But this is my childhood friend. Like me and him
grew up right down the street from each other. So Ryan Cooger, with the sex success of Black Panther and things of that nature, now him having the independence to do what he wants to do, I look to.
See a movie from him about this culture.
You have Deon Taylor who's from Sacramento, who's been scoring real big on like these films, independent films and things of that nature.
So I'm hoping that I'm hoping that maybe.
A film about what we are doing here that can depict Okay, you know what I'm saying. There's one called Licks, and it didn't really have the push behind it, but it's a it's a great movie, it's a great storyline, it shot extremely well, and uh, hopefully man you know, hopefully we can get behind it. And then with two B and stuff like Murder the Detroit guys that just showed us that ship, you could do it.
You could do it, like.
Like you know what I'm saying, murder, they killing murder, they killing it. So you know what I'm saying, big shop, I've been on murder paint line, Like, what's up.
Bro, let's shoot one.
I'll pay you come out here to shoot the movie for the Bay whatever what you.
Want y'out it.
Version I'm about it is from the Bay's Richmond, he from he from New Orleans, but he came out here and I was like, you feel.
P tell you pe and tell you man. I got a lot of game.
But but but, like you said, one of those versions where I don't got it might not be the greatest. Oh but it's a good story line and you can catch we all crazy ass.
But even on on what's the Rick Ross story?
What's the name of the movie Snowball? They had to come to the Bay to right to learn how to sell crap? Yeah, like they could the crap.
And that's a true story. Like you know, so crazy about the Rick Ross ship. Man, like me and me and Uncle Vicky was sitting up talking. He'sa like, bro, I sat down with the dude, and dude months later came and ran with my whole story. He was like it was crazy me.
And they just they who did it?
John Singleton, He's like bro, sat down with him, told him my whole story.
They come out with Snowfall. That's the real Rick Ross story.
But the story in it is like Ross and our homie, little d Daryl Red, which I wish he was here today because I would love for y'all to highlight at him.
Daryl Reed is like he's our He's like our big meach are said.
And me and no form of fashion? Am I trying to glorify drug selling?
In my mind? I was more so amazed that his ability.
To run a company seventeen eighteen years old, organizing and galvanizing multi million dollar machine as a young kid, right, And that was marveling to me, Like that was I was marveled by that. I was like, wow, how just sitting back reading this story like this nigga was nineteen Yeah, went to jail for twenty eight years, didn't tell on nobody. Stay Solid's granted clemency Byball twenty eight years, twenty eight years, came home and got back to it. He back to
the bag legally this time. Amazing, humbling story. But unfortunately Hollywood don't depict the stories of individuals that never told and stay solid.
It always weird.
They always want to steer the young hustlers a different way, like, oh, the only way you get a movie is if you tell or if you did some faulty snake game.
So you know what I'm saying, we probably won't see a movie from him.
He stay solid, He always get a movie to the folks that you know plagued the game, because that's the message that they want to use to you.
Wow, Wow, bruh, thank you for the invite, you know what I'm saying. Brothers, family, Gafinitly, you know when you come to the atils all love and congrats on another Fab Week two thousand.

Now, let everybody know your story, man, because you know you got a very compelling and interesting story. Let let learn a little bit about your story and your history.
Yeah, and give us the big facts.
Well, you know, before I transition into the person I am now, you know, I like in twenty years running out of.
Jail using drugs.
I don't go drugs real bad.
You know, like any motherfucker that's out there getting out, you know, you be lost, you know what I'm saying. So I didn't really have identity of who I am and what I wanted to do in life.
And that's kind of.
Like been my struggle. It was like my struggle, you know, a lot of people be in them situations and they want to get out. They just don't know how to figure their way out.
So how did you do that? I think I just I just.
Figure out that I need to start loving myself, as you know what I'm saying, mean like not I come from like you know, my mother and father use drugs, so and then.
So it's almost like hereditary, yes.
Like and then you know and then if you know it's it's it's some periods they use drugs that still tend to their kids.
Yeah.
I kind of like start taking care of myself at twelve, So it's like anything I kind of like knew about life, I learned through my own.
So it's like I've always been like a survivor. I already don't know how to live. I'm still kind of like that today.
You feel me, right, A lot of people don't understand, like you know, they they run from their problems instead of addressing them. So when I just got to the point where I was like, man, I'm gonna I'm gonna start trying to be responsible enough to address the issues that I'm going through. And that take a lot because now you got to go inside of yourself and it's starting admitting certain stuff to yourself that you might not
want to admit, right, you know what I'm saying. And I just wasn't when you wasn't really probably loved as a kid, you don't.
It stops you.
From learning how to love yourself, and it may also start you from learning how to receive levet from other people. Other you know what I'm saying. You If some get to that point, now you got to be responsible for it, you run from it. So I just got to the point where I just started loving myself and wanting to be responsible for who I am because I always knew I had something special about me, but I just didn't
know what it was. So in the process of me digging inside of me with that shovel like throwing shit to the left that don't believe it and holding on to the ship that that's supposed to be.
There, I kind of like found out who I was.
And once I did that, it was like the world just kind of opened up, you know, And then I just kind of like use my story to try to be like motivation to other people, Like like if you change your life and you stay dedicated to what it is that you're trying to do, you will see life in it like seeing life, seeing life from the lenses of an attic and seeing life.
From the listens of from the listens of a survivor. From that, it's two different looks at life. You know what I'm saying.
It's like the disconnect you between the ogs and the young needs.
That the ogs don't want to be responsible for the fact that they created who the young nigga is.
The hardest and the harder one on heard them facts?
You feel me? So I functioned my like my, my, my, my.
I fuck with the.
Females and the young niggas, the niggas my age. I represent for us, but I don't fuck with us like that.
You know what I'm saying, Because you, to them, you're gonna be competition. Anything you do gonna always be the competition.
If you function right with the young niggas, if you outside with them, if you ain't trying to tell them what to do with you more so trying to show them what to do and how to do it and how to do it. You uplifting them when you see you and you're doing good, when you're ready to make a change.
Men, how that me.
I might not have your blueprint, but I have a blueprint to point you in that direction.
Everybody. Yeah, the other ogs want to point out what they do wrong. You feel me.
Instead of a nigga, you use the product of what they're doing wrong. You like the new You know how generational have different crimes.
Niggas wasn't doing this like that.
So the niggas wasn't breaking windows when I was with your nigga, But niggas is breaking windows now, were breaking live We.
Just destroyed homes. We can't do.
A broken window don't compare to nothing what we did to our community. But you feel me, and we put them in positions to where they breaking windows because nigga, their parents ain't doing that for him. So instead of trying to understand their struggle, you're trying to first you're trying to tell them how to change it when ill and not teaching them how to eat.
So that's gonna already gonna you already.
Any time you got something to say something to them about, it's always negative. So but you want the motherfucker to respect you, it's not gonna happen.
It's like you can't tell somebody to stop doing something without giving them an alternative.
Or something like the stop stop breaking nigge calls and I'm getting filed home the week all this shit.
They five thousand, like they be scoring, Like to us, we look at it, that nigga just broke a window. Now, if you outside, you'd be like that nigga. These niggas score for eighty thousand. He'd be like, what, I'm going to break the window?
You feel me like, but you just think you just take a nigga breaking the window.
Where it is.
It's like, you know, Oakland is like Grand Theft Foto. You feel me. It's like that's how they treat it. But they but it's.
Only a reflection of us, you feel me, because if we would have been more responsible and more mindful for our actions and better leaders, they wouldn't be going that route. They lead each other, five young niggas together, They all making their decisions for each other because they don't got no big homie telling them them what they're doing.
Is right or wrong.
Yeah, you feel me, So if you think it, I'm alright with it.
If he think I'm alright with it.
They raising each other in one circle because at the end of the day, that's the all they got is each other.
What you think the biggest you spoke of like addiction and agetting past that and just making change. What you think the biggest seeds is you got a plant to actually really change something, a habit or whatever it may be.
So I think, really, you got to get to the point of being tired, like you feel like you gotta be fed up with and you gotta like for me, I just wanted something different, like I didn't and then I had a daughter, So I think my daughter like really, my soigns. You know, it's different raising a boy than trying to raise a girl. My sons like go do.
With your mama.
You feel my daughter just starts seeing certain shit like my parent for there might get high para for there, She'll.
Start seeing around. And she got to the point.
Where she wouldn't give it to nobody but me, like she knew this shit didn't posted nobody. You feel me, So it was like that shit really start eating me up inside.
You feel like, man, I got to be a better example. I can't you feel me?
And like that like to this day, that's my dog, that's my motivation. That's who I hate, not eve percent of what I do this for it with my daughter, you feel me.
It was just that time.
But also I was tired, and you know what I'm saying, And really I didn't know how to do it by myself, so I had to like go get some help in the program, you feel me.
The program really didn't help me.
It gave me the opportunity to be inside and outside at the same time, you feel me. So they gave me I can go deal with the world a little bit, and then I can go back inside.
I can go deal with the world a little bit.
Then I can go buy it inside because I had been living a certain lifestyle for so long that regular life don't register in me. Like how you all think. My mind might not think that way, but you feel what I'm saying. So a nigga be like sho. They automatically think that you're supposed to see life like they do not I see like differently because my my addiction personality makes me see life differently, you feel I'm saying, like it just my thigh press is the slowyer, Mike.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm like, you got to understand all this shit you did to yourself and then be mindful of the fact that.
To be okay with.
It, you feel me because just because I might not be as good as you and one thing, don't mean that I ain't better than you and something else. I still stop being a knockoff version of everybody else, and I just found a way to be myself. We be picking up shit from everybody else because that shit looked good on them.
That shit don't look good on you. You wear size eight, nigga, This nigga wear a size twelve. But do you think his shoes? Shelly Clean? Say you want to?
Now you're walking around looking like Boso. I was doing that with my wife.
You feel me?
Hello, you doing what I was.
Doing that with my wife? Walking around with some twelves on while wear eight. You feel me that I was looking like a boso. Yeah, but I'm manipulating myself to say I'm a nigga. I'm doing this. I'm doing it because you got a fool yourself to keep doing the foolishnith. Yeah, if you don't fool yourself, you don't. Once you start fooling yourself, the foolish just don't matter no more.
Have you ever seen a nigga get mad too, because you know he lies to himself and you and you here, brother, you line what you gonna convince your right and some people will lie.
Be they truth, That's what I'm saying, because they perspect.
They perspected, because that's how they're gonna move when you know it's a lie like you know, but it's you. Like I told, I've been outside all my life. I've been outside since I was twelve years old. I didn't see a game on every level. But the best game I ever seen was the game I ran on myself.
That's called right now.
That's the that's nobody every I ain't never seen a nigga fire in me when it comes to me, manipulated me.
But that's why you can see. That's why you can see it.
That's why my mouth stepping on this.
I'm gonna say that on something else, I've never seen a nigga run a better game on than I ran on myself.
When you walk up, I see your game coming, I see.
Your game coming, Why, nigga, Because I ran that game on me already.
It don't work for you, nigga, because it works for me. I already rented on yourself. That is blew up now you feel me. That's how I cool. So your nigga be like, I don't hear that shit, brother nigga, be like, Man, this nigga don't know. I don't. It ain't that I don't believe. It's just that nigga, I ain't believing.
A lie you're telling yourself because I told that I a lot of myself for long enough. I can't accept your lie when I used to accept it for me, and so you know what I'm saying, that's just kind of like my story.
So now you know what I'm saying.
I was just lucky enough man that hear me to be able to when I came out the program to like day one. Man, my nigga, like we've been together, We together every day all day. You feel what I'm saying me, he ain't gonna let me fall and I ain't gonna let him fall.
You feel what I'm saying me and everybody need that.
You feel me, like like in life, you need somebody that's gonna hold you accountable and then and that's gonna hold you up. You feel me, nigga, You can't hold me accountable if you ain't holding me up.
You feel me, because now you.
Just you just want to bring up some ship when you see which just when you when you will see some ship. But nigga wanted you see some shit going on. You ain't offering no help. I don't need you to point out my fuck ups. If you ain't trying to help.
Me be better, you can keep that ship to yourself.
It ain't doing no good for me. You feel me, and your opinion don't matter. If you ain't trying to help. Yeah, you feel me, your only opinion only matter.
It's not like judgment.
It sounds like judgment.
Opinions would not know what you call it.
It's like judgment.
It's like you judging. You ain't trying to help me, So you gotta.
When you see something, you gotta unless you know it's coming from motherfucker that care about you. Like somebody can say something to me and I know nigga you saying it, and you and I to another Nigga'm gonna jump up and you get all in your face about it because I know you ain't saying But if a nigga said it the same way that it's coming from love, I ain't expecting you to say.
It a certain way.
Because I need you to get it out the way you feel it, and I need to know that.
You love me enough that what you're telling me is based on love.
It ain't based on nothing else. So, Nigga, however you said it to me, I may accepted. I ain't gonna have a problem with it. But if it ain't coming from somewhere that I think that guy has to do with some type of love, I ain't fucking with it because you judging me, Nigga, You probably judging me on how you judge yourself, because that's the only time we see something in somebody else. I can't see nothing in me in him that I ain't seen in me. I
only see it because I see it. It got something to do with me, you know what I'm saying, Like it had something to do with me.
That's how I'm able to recognize. That's how I'm able to see it.
How I can't or feel it like I have to been already been through it or see it like wepend how gators above said the super.
Bowl that ain't gonna be quiet here, so they don't listen as.
We appreciate them to the atl please tap in.
Where can they?
I'll pay attention to you. You you come from this. You know what I'm saying me.
So I know, man, I'll chair, I'll do history history, I'm going on facts.
You feel me.
So it's easier for a nigga to come on here and open up to motherfuckers that been.
Down and you might not you might have been on the other side of it. It's all the same. Was addicted to the same thing. Different addiction is an addiction. I don't give a fuck what it was.
And a nigga be addicted to these streets just like a nigga getting high.
You said, they said, you know, a niggas what a bad as A.
Symbol like this respect.
I like that because that's to me some respect, matter where it's coming from. A show, A nigga gonna unk you on your terms. So nigga, if you ain't doing it with your life, you know that nigga unking you on a bad term.
But nigga, I know I ain't thinking.
You disrespected me by calling me my ship.
I'm want my ship, so I know it ain't in disrespect.
They don't call me dad.
I don't like young nigga.
Fuck young bitchiness, young nigga because I ain't because I ain't mature twenty years off, but I'm really like thirty years out on some real ship. But I'm able to admit that, you know what I'm saying, a lot of niggas don't know how to admit that, Like now with your nigga, why you act like that?
Because I'm my mature level is that's where I'm at right.
A lot of niggas don't want to admit that. So now you be lost, You trying to figure out who you are. Now I know who I am, Like thirty five, nigga, I got it, motherfucker a tenth grade education.
Nigga. Most of my thoughts come up first.
I got a second guesses because they street related and the ain't prosperous facts, like.
I knowing the first thing they come up.
I'm checking that one is the right one because it's gonna pop up from the history of what I've been through and how I see life.
And I've seen life from the hardness, not from the goodness.
So most of my decisions going my feelings, and everything's gonna be about something.
Now.
That's why I tell my niggas all the time, I'm like my first mind was built off some bullshit. Second guess my first live mind make I'm saying, my first my first energy, and it's different, it's gonna be different. Like if I get my energy, doesn't what it is for my first mind got that, you know what I'm saying, Like, hold up, thank that too, cause you.
Because you're so used to reacting.
And a reaction come from what you didn't put in you you feel me and so you and and I'm still like I'm still in the growing process, you know what I'm saying, Like I still got the.
Show, but you feel me like I ain't through that motherfucker to the side.
I'm still digging some ship out because the better the more you learn about yourself, the more you get to realize your traumas you feel your childhood traumas like or your relationship traumas or or how or why should And I don't trust this nigga, Like no, this nigga might be able to be trusted, but the streets didn't till me saying I'm gonna tell you this.
My daddy put me when I was a kid. My daddy put me in the tree and put the backpack. You know when we was a kid.
You had to see Joe made you drive around, throw them in the air. That mofuckers turned in the parachute, put a backpack on me, put the string at the bottom of the backpack, told me to climb up the tree, jump by the tree, pull a string. Parashoe gonna come out. You're gonna fuck to the ground. I jump, pull a string, hit the ground, start crying. The nigga say, don't never trust me or nobody trust him. Right there and for the rest of my life is fucked up. I'm trying to. I'm trying to.
I'm trying to listen, though, I'm gonna tell you how I go. The nigga catch me.
On my Grandmama's house a.
Year later, said, nigga, get down or beat your ass. He said, a matter of fact, nigga, come here, jump, I'm gonna catch you. Nigga, I'm about to beat your ass.
You know I jumped that nigga walked off when I jumped, when he went like this, and I jumped.
That nigga walked off.
He said, I told your dumb ass, don't never trust nobody.
But you can't live your whole life that way.
You feel me, So now it's like you gotta figure out if somebody really.
Deserve your trust.
You feel me because you don't want to deal with everybody that you love from an untrustful point because somebody else taught you that you shouldn't trust nobody. Now, nigga, the person I shouldn't have been trusting with you, and now you never fucking me up to think I shouldn't trust everybody else because you don't want me to look at you different than I look at everybody else. You want me to see you from the same lenses. So you're gonna create the lenses of no trust.
Now, that's just like people. People who got the fate love you.
The reason why they be so blocking of other people loving you because they don't like what real love like. That's what you know what I'm saying, like a love for that true to love you don't matter, don't don't care about releasing you right because they know they love you like I don't care who you be friends.
Man, I don't care who you whatever, because I know what I got.
I love you. All you're gonna do is for my mother gets something similar to what I give you.
Thank you.
But then if not, you're gonna be like, you.
Don't love me, because this would love look like now, yes, right, you know what I'm saying, So trust me? You want you want to created me to look at you, to look at everybody the same way I should be looking at you.
You know what I'm saying.
By so you created me not to trust people, and then you don't know that affects you when you get.
Older, Like now I don't trust.
People, I'll be like, now, I'll be like, let me wait till they do something for me, not just trust them.
Instead of going in.
Because when you don't trust anybody, you don't give them the opportunity to be the best version of them for you. You feel mean you holding in back because you ain't atting to get close enough to trust you.
You know what I'm saying. So yeah, that's kind of like my story. Man.
Yeah, I appreciate y'all having me on there Gan the Wisdom, Well appreciate it.
