Mother podcast makes up Now when you're talking about cannabis king, when you're talking about entrepreneurial, when you're talking about original,

uh staple of the cannabis game. There's no better person than our guests today. He's got sixteen albums. He's a part of everything that cannabis has to do. He has he dresses in his own goddamn close. He's out here do what he got. He got a whole album with camera. I can't even get a feature with camera. I can't even get I can't even get him on the phone. Let's got a whole album with camera. He out here, what the whole album would be real? This guy's out

here given to the culture, shouting with the coaches. He's doing what you gotta do. In case you don't know what we talked about about, big burn right numb you all hands down. One of when anybody thinks of cannabis, um uh and and the legalization of cannabis, not just cannabis, because the legalization of it, cookies come up. So I want to ask, I want to get straight to it, because are you the inventor of cookies? Yeah? You know, at the end of the day, my partner gyuh shout

to Jigger was from my neighborhood. And you know, look he was bringing the bags and I was moving and I was doing my thing. I was the brand of the creator, the hype, the machine engine behind getting it where it needed to be And I was rapping at the time too, So I just happened to get it crack. And so you know, my boy breathe. He bread everything. He bread the girl scott cookies, he bread the gelato, the sunset, shert bird, you know a lot of things. You see it in the world today. Yeah, but he

bread it. But you know how to do the pipe up on it, the branding, the name and name, the trains. I take all the packaging, in the marketing, the business behind it. I'm actually the business behind cookies, you know what I mean. So it is kind I'm glad you got a lot of people think I created it. You know, I didn't physically create cookies. I just put that motherfucker on the map. I got it cracking and built the

brand around it, you know what I mean. Probably when of the first cannabis brands with that identity of colorway of logo and a full brand behind it, you got a clothing line up. Yeah, the clothing line itself is fucking doing numbers. And you so you started out of San Francisco, Barry, San Francisco, and you spend time at Arizona at one point. Yeah, my dad said he was going to open up a Mexican restaurant in Arizona. We moved out there. He got cot cheating and he never

came out. You know, you know you do this thing. I was. I was back and forth. I get in trouble in Arizona. I go back to the bay A getting trouble in the Bay, go back to the Arizona. Ended up in the Bay. Yeah. So so what did you how did you develop your love before? Because, um, I imagine coming up it wasn't always legal. I'm gonna give you the real story. It's just drink chan. Gary didn't thank you because you're gonna have us loaded a little bit, yes, sir, But look I found my love

for the plant when I went back. So when I was in Arizona, when my homies big brothers had big old bills for the week. I'm talking about that good week Arizona because I was on his track. Look like, look we're gonna get to us. So they had bills like big bells, bedrooms, closets, houses for this ship. Were going there as little kids and take out handfuls and eat it and rolled up and walk into your seats

and smoking and not know what to do. With it, was playing with it, was watching Friday, having fun with the weed. And when I went back to California, at least this girl houses. No, this is just bales of Mexican. Yeah, they was moving big right when I went back to Arizona. When I went back to California, told on my homies, older brothers that was in the business at the time. I was like fifth sixth grade. Bro. I was like, look out in Arizona. They got bills and they're like, nah, bro,

you know how much the ship costs. And they showed me bomb we used to call it droll Bombys of Graham, and I was just blown away because it beat everything I've ever seen in Arizona. So when I fell in love with cannabisiness, when I took that first flight from a from California Aisy, I took o g long sock. Cut a hole in that bitch, but in my pants,

let it hang down my pants. I brought two zips, And when I showed up to Arizona with that thing, I realized the impact that good weed has, the conversation it starts, and just how powerful it is having something that no one else can get. That's when I fell in love with the weed. You know what the crazy about that is? Um, Like, I come from from black, black City Queens, and for a long time, we never had good weed. So when we had good we we

wrote skinny blunts. And it was crazy because anytime I like, meet somebody from San Francisco or meet somebody from you like our creepy down here. Yeah, but this this, yeah, this is less laid on. But the crazy thing is I will always know where the person comes from good because they will always have the fattest blunts fast San Francisco. Like you guys are so sporiled out there because you guys never had bad weeds. Like I don't remember ever

going to San Francisco. I walked down the streets as a kid, as a real young kid, and people would just be putting nugs on their forehead and the black but because and it would stick to their forehead, And I just fell in love with the culture. And man, that ship has been so good for so many years. So you know, I had I had to get in, bro. I had to. Once I've seen the Arizona action and just really understanding and also doing music, I'll pull up in.

You know, when I first started pulling around some big artists. They got big whips, big chains, multi platinum records. But you ain't got this. You do not have this. I got it. You gotta know me, goddamn, and I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you a little nug. You gotta call me, you gotta be my friend, you gotta hit me up. There's no Now we're together. Were you nodded through the plan. It's not scary and out. I

never had to black Gary page. Now, okay, so how did let's let's let's get into that, because that's the new weed. That's that's coming up. That's actually Gary dude. The random is ship happen, bro Shout out to Gary Payton. When you when you planning seeds, you number seed one through three hundred or one through twenty one through eighty.

Well we did about, I think only like fifteen strains, fifteen seats on this pheneral hunt, and the number twenty was just popping, and my boy powers up naturally just started calling it that GP at Peyton. Well his sons followed me, I guess. And so just in a few times that we mentioned it online, some people in Oakland started bootlegging. Okay Burns about to pop off to Gary Payton. They made fake baggies and everything. So his sons hit him, I believe, and then show him the bags floating around.

He thought we were the ones putting out the fake bags, and so when I got with him, he hit me and do some mutual friends? Powerful people, may I say? And we sat down for lunch in Oakland. He pulled up in the white range Rover Bolow hopped out like a gangster, and I think he thought I was on some bullshit. And when I broke it down to him, like no, I would never put out a bag that

looks like that, but I do have this strain. I showed it to him at lunch, busted out the whole restaurant smell, and said, look, we could do this, and I think it'd be cool because he don't smoke weed, but just about the act when I he's the Hall of Families, the glove, he's the man. His attitude is everything. I said, Look, I want to put you on the bag like a Weedi's box, and I want to be the first person to do that ship and I want to do it legitimately. Can you do that I'm already

in the Hall of Fame. That can't take ship from me. Baby boy, Let's do it so out of nowhere. Gay Payton has the best weed in the market right now, you know what I mean. But it happened organically. Everyone hits me to do strains. Let's do this. Let's do a strain. I know you want to strain. I wanted platinum record. I don't got one. It is right there, so you know, at the end of the day, I just like to do ship with people that comes organic. And now you know what I mean. That's that's a

dope story. You see the back of it's cool man open and smell that. I thought I thought he smoked. That's why I thought the kid together. That's the dope story. He just hit me. He thought it was on some bullshit. Gary's a boy this ship, bro, he thought I was. He thought I was getting money playing them. And this is reminds me of Cookies dough a little bit. It said, it's powerful ship. This one joined anyone around us that's gonna get it, They're gonna hit this motherfucker change a

little bit for sure. It's got a yeah, you got smoke. Maybe one hit for the burn one hit I Don't Drink and I'm gonna have a little stop in here on drink Champs. So so what are you doing? What are you doing right now? You're in Miami, Miami. I did a music video and I'm in the studio next door, which is currently like the craziest hot box ever. I'm loaded right now. I'm just gonna keep one thousand. I

started on my words the highs of myth. But I'm shooting a video and recording some music, catching some vis real quick. You know. I got a new record for Fat Joel, right man, you know about it. I'm on point. Yeah, no, yes, they look at the Fat Joe. Okay, yeah, I record what they look at, don't. Yeah, somebody else I'm mad hot man, like I'll be forgetting this ship dope. Yeah.

I'm doing a new album called La Plaza. It's like I don't speak Spanish, but you know, look, I'm Mexican and Italian, you know, and uh, I just want to embrace you know, the last side of me. And you know we're doing a little crossover where you know, I do English, they do Latin, and it's Joe because it's over Random Records. Like the beat we flipped for that record. Well, I'm not gonna say because they're gonna shut me right away. But it's just a different vibe. It's not your your

typical ship, you know what I mean. So I'm having fun with it, bro, Yeah, having a lot of fun. Get some champagne, my brother, because you I don't know if you know, but on Dream Chaps we celebrate artists, man, because so many people want to, you know, kick us out this game and tell us that you know, you know, we got a limited time. You go out here with sixteen albums, thirty five, got thirty five and this las is gonna be number thirty six. Ship. Yeah, shoot up

in a game twenty years think got more albums? Area? It's the Bay area is therapy, bro. The weed game is stressful. Bro. It makes me want to just now, how did you hook up with all? Wis Khalifa? Wiz came by to just uh the club I was running when I was like, I forgot how that was, but it was when I was on Geary so I had before cookies was cookies. He came by. I was running the store, I was the buyer, the manager at the

campus club. He came by the guy high. It was cool as fun, right yeah St. Louis, didn't he and then um at that time he was with Yeah, it was it was before right before Black and Yellow. I think, yeah, yeah, so you were signed the telegame at one point. Yeah, you know, we're still doing business and uh, you know, think about me, Bro, I just moved so fast, bro, like I like to just move at my own pace.

And I think it's a little overwhelming sometimes because a lot of these albums could have been a lot bigger and marketed a lot more. Like the Camera album. Not a lot of people know about it because I just dropped it, you know what I mean. Me and currency just dropped out boom. I dropped so much ship because I just moved quick, you know, I mean right now, Man, Camera is a real motherfucker, bro, because I know that mother don't do that mane like this for whatever reason. Well,

shout out to British. First of all, me and British are close his manager, and I think he respected to grind and there was some business involved, but it wasn't like that. It was it was some respectable business in cam Let me tell you a story about cam Bro. I reached out to him to get on Me and Young Dogs album. I think it was Me and Young Dogs album. Yeah. So Cameron is such a gentleman. He was in l A t him. I want you to come get on the records com and drive where you at.

I'm like him in the bay. I'm gonna drive over there and knock it out, like from He's lost. He's not coming over here. Cameron drove from l A to debate that, mind you. He only thought it was two hours away, but he drove six six and he knocked the verse out in my house and fucking got on the plane to Vegas a half hour later. I'm like, dude, you're a fucking g I'm personally would have been like a word this four more hours, bird. I let you a little BROMI sending when I can. He's he's a gentleman.

Many he would knock that shot out from me real quick. Bro. He will be on drink Champs. I don't know why. I don't know what might happen one day. No, I don't think so. I don't think he might do it. He's spice scared of the tiger ship. We got the Tiger Man. That was the funny ship yesterday. So so cookies mel rolls. Yeah right, that seems like that's the most one that's look, is that the most popular right now? Right now it is man Melros going crazy just downtown.

It's it's right there. It's Beverly Hills almost. It's in l A by Hollywood and Beverly Hills. But we weren't supposed to be there, oh wow, meaning like the neighbors. I don't think ever expected the campus club to be there. I think the store next door has something to do with j Lo. Maybe she shops her. She's a part owner. But the cheapest dresses like twenty grand. So we weren't supposed to be there, but we lucked out and got it,

and we got that block popping popping trapl when that motherfucker. Bro, for real, if you had to pick cannabis or music, what would you pick? I have to go with that weed, brother, because you know why, I could just wrapping my head while I smoke. I don't gotta come out, you know. I like to wrap as a hobby. That's a cool thing. By my music career too, Bro, I don't got no pressure, you know, I've been independent this whole time, I put out what I want, when I want, how I want.

I'm not trying to appeal to no crowd. I'm not trying to get on no radio. I don't give a funk about nothing. That ship. I do it because I love to do it. Do it? And your partners with Ghazi, Yeah, but on the Empire since two thousand and seven. Wow. Yeah, and they in the Bay Area as well, right, Yeah, at Frisco. I was probably one of his first clients. I was on what was that ship called Before and Grooves,

I think he was. He was he was working out again and he called me on yo, I took your whole catalog over going to be good, and I'm like, ship all right for shore? Did we? I mean cool? But it worked out great, great man, big up man and part man. You gotta drink a little bit burn. This is champagne, man, Come on't do it. Let's do it. It's the old it's the old school, it's the old. Were celebrating you man, We have to celebrating. Yeah, I thought this a man might not make it a drinking

Everybody here is with cannabis. Guys. They come here to show you love because you are truly a cannabis king, and we want to give your flowers while you're alive. You don't take something to happen to you to say your birth is a great guy. And every time I'll say it in here face, my brother. That's why we're good. It's all culture has to start doing this. We have to start digging each other up. Because if we ain't gonna do it, you know why they're gonna do it.

We are the new food book. We are fuck you and you. It's appointed you at you because you know this lifestyle will take a lot of years off your life. Man. Yeah, Look, we risk ourselves when we go out in public. We risk ourselves when we every time we travel away from home. This ship takes the years off your life. Bro. Doing this ship, bro, So it's good to get recognized while you're here. Solute you for that. How's your Amsterdam? What's

your relationship with Amsterdam? I've been going there since I was a teen, okay many years. So when I bought cookies in Amsterdam? Is that real cookies? All that bootleg? This is here's the truth. Motherfucker's are so obsessed with your ship, bro. They fly to l A or wherever they get it and they fucking fly it back and they sell that ship for seventy dollars A Graham. Yes, yes, it's very true. Collie weed and Amsterdam is like the

most expensive. So you've been in the Gray Area that of course Gray Area amnesia, you know, I don't know if you know. The Gray Area is the only real place that you can really get California weed. Like they got a secret menu California weed. A lot of places actually do now because it's the hype. The same with Spain. You go to Spain the social cousant. Spain got California. We all through it too. I'd be scared to go that mother, I think, you know, fast might think it's

me doing I'm not that dumb. It's not me to legal story. They buyden do what they want to do. That's to us, no, but they have a lot of your strands. I always thought, you know what, though, that's the best feeling, because I want to amon when I was eighteen trying to meet up with these store owners and get cool with them and try to figure out how to get in the business. And now I'm in the business. You ever win to the expensity and saw

a fake version of your ship. Please come on. I look at it differently because I see blueleg Cookies everywhere. But the way I look at it and no one else feels this way, people get mad. They're my cheerleaders, brother, because it does two things. One of my brand is everywhere people see it, and too they know, damn reel it's not real. They want to find the real, so

they get the Bluelegs ship. They're gonna be like, yes, I wonder if it's real, and it leaves that that thought in their mind and then they're gonna come to my store eventually. Okay, but break it, break it down because what is that clone? No? Like so like what is the button there? So? Like? So all right, so if a person like you have cookies, so a person goes and tries to make fake cookies, how do they do that? Like what is the steps? Well back? And

then they don't know they trying to emulate. Well, that's the way it works. In the grower community. You're getting the growhouse, you get to grow. Yeah, this is what you gotta do. Let's say no, he's in the grow right now. He's got a job as a grower. He's hyped up, he's feeling himself. He's getting paid, you know, seventeen hour or whatever it. Maybe he sees the plant

that says a lotta or cookies. All you gotta do is take a little parent, scissors, cut of leaf, put in a little a little wet towel around it, bringing home, put some rooting jail, and they plant that bit when you're good to go. So, who didn't Gaila, look a little jail. It's like a little jail you put on the clone before you plan it. But point being at not not miracle girl, but yeah, something like that. Yeah.

So basically it's pretty easy to steal genetics and and part of the problem in the week game is everyone is selling, stealing and selling you Next, when cookies first came out on the Internet and all the forms, they were selling cookie clones for ten thousand, fifteen thousands. So people got the ship and they spread it around and look, we're all homies, we're all shared bud. You don't think

if we're all growers, we wouldn't sare clones. And ship gets out there like wowfires like you know, once it gets out, it's out. So it's like a lead in the name. So now could you sue if you wanted to. Since it's still federally it's federally illegal, so you can't do ship. So what I did. I tattooed that bit on my hands and I built my audience as big as I couldn't. If someone's on some bullshit, I'll say

they got bullshit. And I had to use my my colorway, my brand, but really my voice and my social media to call him out. That's only protection on guys, my platform, which is why you see my Instagram get the leader all the time's hate on me? Bro, Would you consider your competition like Jungle Boys and the Nubs with the other dude runs Runch is my partners Okay, yeah, Runch is actually part of Cookies. Cookies partner with Runts. We're partners.

But how about Jungle Boys with Jungle Boys? You know, look, man, let's let me take a sip real quick. I gotta I gotta left for Jungle Boys. I worked them for a while. We had a brand called Exotics. I never said this show on the internet. Be wanting to say this ship for a long time, and maybe I'm just it's the mold. This is where you talk. You're like the therapist. I am, Yes, I think they got a little upset when we opened up in l A. Just truth be told. Oh, because you guys were supposed to

have brand in the Bay Area area. It's never been the same since yead to that booboo pulled up to l A. When I pulled up, it was a problem. And I gotta love for you living. If you watch this is a pretty big show. I love your brother. I don't know what the problem is. But look, there's enough money for everyone. Your menu is incredible. You go, you grow great weed. It's totally different than ours. Don't trip, honey,

got damn messing you. I'm not saying it cause I love the dudey girls great weed, but I think that he probably thought that it was a little, uh like stepping on his toes. Yeah, it looks like territorials. Yeah. Why it's jungle boys around that area of my world. Yea a period yeah aiod, yeah, they want the whole city was close to him. I ain't gonna lie. The first story opened up like eight mints away, so sucked up.

I'm sorry, all right, but that's the way it worked, though, And I always wanted to do collapse and keep it cool because I love dude, that's my boy. We have business together. We broke real bread together. But the canvas game is funny, So what can you do by it? How about the Green Door in the Bay Area, you know, shout out the Green Door. You know they're cool. Yeah, David Kang and them donors. Shout to them people. Great people always support us our products in their store. Now

it's always gonna be in their stories. We actually got a couple of projects together too, right, Yeah, that's dope, man, You know, I love San Francisco. May make some noise, what's what's the heat? Is there any so imagine that hip hop is already the hip hop police type ship. Is there any extra heat because of what you're doing? Of course? Cannabis police? You know, look your banks, cannabis, these are the things that happen. Your banks gets shut down,

you can't bank your bread. Um. I was kicked out of a few banks recently. City Nationals was just made for our this and athletes. I love that fucking bank. They kicked me out for no reason. None of my money was from weed. It was all from my music and my clothing. And they're just they said, because of what you represent them. What you affiliate yourself with we don't want you here. I'm like, fucking kidding me. I had meals in there, Bro, I have to say, they

give your money back? How was that? But they were dicks about it. When the other bank try to shut me down, like yo, just come pick up a check and whatever, They're like, Yo, you gotta come get this today. Come get your check today. And that's how we I mean, I felt like, if idy go get it today, it was a wrap. Please don't show. Yeah. So you know, at the end of the day, like, is there hip hop cops in the weed game? I'm sure, but I

don't do dumb shi no more. You know, every entourage, if every group is like, what up, I need a hunting bags, I'm like, I'm sure you do, brother, I'm sure you do. But that's what I'm older. I'm colder, and I'm trying to get to a bat straight up. I'm trying to break a billy off this ship, bro, because I put in eighteen years straight, you know what I mean. So you see, you're saying that people that come to you actual side deal. Everybody wants a side deal,

but not not not not legally. They want to York, Like, come on, man, you know I ain't gonna do that ship. I got a real business something. I can't jeopardize that ship. Bro, there's no point right now. Yeah, Bro, it's like either I'm anna make it or I'm not. It's not I'm at that age and at that stage of my career where you know, look, either it's gonna pop or flop, and I can't go bust the pack to make somebody happy. I already been through all that. I've been through all

that stress before. I ain't doing that again. I were too hard to get out of that. So you was a part of the illegal side of it, as what Boye says everyone was to fifteen was a very great mark, a very great proposition. Back in the day, so cannabis, the medical side of campus was a very gray area. And living in San Francisco, California, one of the most liberal cities in the world, how could you not be involved? You know what I mean, That's how I grew up.

It's a slap on the wrist and that's it. So yeah, that's that's so um Uh what what? What San Francisco? Uh? Is it like like like every time I go out there, it's always like the bump population is like there's big bum population. Yes, Like up, could we do like a cannabis for bums? Like like you know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm Oh, that's bad. I didn't know. I didn't you know, Look like what do you do like to help that. There's a couple of things that you do.

I mean and this young brothers homeless out there. But you know what's got a lot of it's by choice. Man, Like if you a lot of people moved to San Francisco because it's a hippie state and they want to hippie city. They want to come do drugs and party, and they accepted. Not everyone. There's people that have been putting out, you know what I mean, and that our legitimately struggling and hurting. But you know they're not gonna be the ones on the street funked up, drinking, doing drugs.

They're gonna be the ones waiting in line for the shelters and trying to find a way to get home and whatnot. So you know, for compassion at the old Club, I used to work at we give away and the trim. So when you trim the bud our little sugar leaves and still get you high if you smoke. It's better than nothing. And we give away that in the smaller buds as compassionate people that had low income or you know, veterans or whatnot. But now with the new regulations, you

can't give away anything for free anymore. Everything, of course, not big butter wants is paying. So we're trying to figure out ways to do it. I mean, I think you could probably charge them a very low cost, but again the tax are so high to grow weed. Now that it's all legitimate and organized, I don't think we can afford to grow and give it away until we blow up, blow up, you know what I mean? No, Like what the low is the difference? Like if you in Safran, do you have to grow the week in

San Fran to sell it? There? No, not necessartate for county. It's like it's a state thing. I can grow weed in l A and and legally transported down to s F. I can grow button that stef and bring it down to l A across it's a state. Yeah, what what do you think is better at um s F all l A? Well, l A got more property. That's that small. It's a small city. What do you mean property like it's just bigger, you know, Yeah, I mean bro the Bay area, baby, I'm gonna tell you why though, because

the weather there is hella cool. It's like the neighborhood I grew up in where you grow. We that it's like sixty seven degrees fifty seven degrees. That allows that we need to turn purple and get its nice color. And when you're curious, there's no humidity, so it's gonna dry right, And it's that that's that we could just pick up and just let it hang from your thumb and shake the hand ain't coming off. So I grew

up on Frisco week. I may be biased. L A grows great week because we grow we in l A too. But weather conditions, it ain't getting ninety degrees in the Bay. L A gets hot, so I'll go that bad when I when I hit a corn up with it, they called it hit a corn up. Yeah, cold up. That should be cold out there in the bay. Now, it's there such a thing as as like clipping too early, like um I remember, I remember, like uh it was the weak grow was that they would have to like

sell it and I could tell it was premature. It was I bugging, or I was I was on point. You weren't bugging, bro. They clicked that ship earlier. They probably in dry it right, It was probably orange hair and smell like hey right a little. I damn, I don't remember that much detail. You can cut it earlier. You gotta let You gotta figure out your plan, figure out how many days it has to grow. Every plan has a different growth you know cycles. So so it's

not ninety days for all plans. No, hell no, Gary Gary finishes before London Poundcake. London Poundcake finishes later than lemonad. So everything is different. You gotta learn the plant. It's a it's a real research and development process. That's why all these getting in and sucked up this rich boys getting in the game thought it was easier fucking finding out the hard way. It's not easy, bro, There's nothing easy about growing weak scientifically. Motherfucker. Wow. So, so roughly,

how how many days Gary Payton? How many days do you think? What is Gary Payton? I've seen I think it's uh, I say, sixty three flower days, flowers for sixty three days. I got it in my phone, in my notes because we have so many strains we have. We have fucking right, two hundred trains right now. It's pretty wild, it's crazy. Okay, yes, please, man, please just get motherfucker coldest so it's less than ninety days. Okay. And lemon pound cake. I love lemon pound cake? Did

you That's what I like? Lemon pound cake? Remember you had that? You had that? You didn't have it from Burner though here I'm telling he bowed like this ship. He got this ship and what's the other one? That's remember pound cake? And what's the other one? It's another Gary had some other ship, man, But I smoked it in the studio. I want to find out how long this follow this flower because all of it was ninety days.

I learned something crazy news. Nah, So okay, Gary Payton, Oh I'm on point sixty three sixty three day flower, London pound cakes of the day flowers a lot these sixty three to seventy day flower depends. Yeah. Have you ever grew something that you didn't like and still sold it? Of course? I want to some trap stories. Look, man, I used to be I just had to get it, bro Like I had a pack one time that came out seated. It hurt me out a bunch of seeds. But that bitch smells so good and looks so good.

But if you were to look at the bottom of the bath, there's hell of seas and I had to plug that was coming through buying all the time. He trust me, let me as my dog. But you know, I was young, dumb, and I need some bread. And so when he came to the department, I'm like, what can I do? Because I want to sell this fifty pack, but I don't wanted to see these seeds. So twist my lot off in my room, twist my lot off from the hallway. Had on me. Come in black, bro,

I don't know what's going on my power. Your ship sucked up, bro, but look check it out. I put myself on a real quick, you know. I think it's before they had a fourth lot. I think I sat my cell phone on it. He smelled in. It smelled great, and he was like, oh, that's that ship, my brother, that's that ship, bro. And he's like cool, and he grabbed it and gave me the money. He bounced, and my motherfucker hit me the next day with a picture. It was a cup like this with like that many

seeds in there caption. You fucked me. I said, wow, that's terrible. Don't trip. I'm gonna give you five back on each one. I made each one, so I wasn't really worried about it. But you know, definitely has the sign of the weed not being bad as the seeds. It could see that a couple of different ways. It could be next to a plant that herms out and that makes that seed. It could be light leak in the room. It could be an unstable condition that makes the trip out. So seeds are always mean it's back

how you harvested. You said that twice hermed out? What does that mean? It means the seeds come out the female What the seeds come out like a female plant produces seeds busting nuts? Oh? Oh ship? Yeah? Was that? Yeah? Yeah, if it's around light leak or a male plan or the plant's not stable, like if you bread something and it just wasn't stable. He never got a stable and produces but still be fire. I've had we with sees. That was hell of fire, right, I'll be real. He's

a grower as well. Correct, Dr Green Thumb. So how did Jock in that? He got me so when I was around eighteen or nineteen, I've seen him at the Rainbow Lounge, which is like a popular bar in l A. We could smoke butt on the patio and eat food. He's the one that set that spot off. When I was younger, I was trying to link with him. I brought my little mix tape through and some guy poached me that was around him trying to give me a sign, a fourteen album deal with no advantage or nothing like

I'll funk with you. But I've been trying to meet be real and one time he reached out to me to get in the smoke box, and when I got in, we caught a good vibe. I just said this two albums, bro, and he's like cool and he came in and we knocked that ship out in four days and was classic. So you know, the vibe was there from the beginning to be really one of the most humble humans in

the world. Bro Brothers, smooth, cool player, a lot of knowledge, telling me out to tour properly when we went on a tour together, telling me how to roll right yeah broth veterans. Bro. I never toured the way I used to ever again. Now I know how he does that. I do like that you merch all that like when I had merched. But I used to have thirteen fourteen homies on the bus, you know what I mean, Like you used to just just do stupid things that didn't

make sense. So lest people have the barbecue on the bus, you know what I mean, barbecue on the bus. You know, we're having a no carbecue, no carbecue. Yeah, we're having a no carbecue September seven, just in case y'all don't know here and and Drinks Champs office my birthday September six, so Saptember seven, So there's no cars, no carbs. We're gonna do some other ship that's making up some other ship. You know. Just protein, just protein. You guys going keo

something like I just want to do something. Man and alcohol. You're gonna get your sugar through the alcohol. So yeah, man, we this is what we do at Drink Champs. Man, we saw a break the people. Man, you are one of the people that our hands down trend setter. You know what I'm saying. I want to I want to say that. I want to say that to your face because this is dope. What you're doing man and you

so many other people are following your footsteps. So if there's a person that's that's trying to get into cannabis business, what can you say to them to start them off? First thing that wants to be all right? Look, if you want to be burned, the first thing you gotta do is find yourself a breeder, someone that creates. You want to menu that no one else has. Wait, wait,

a breeder, a breeder, let's lower down right there. What the fund is that A breeder is someone that creates genetics that don't wanted to take a cush plant, a cookie plant, process that and create something brand new. You have to find someone that could design the menu for you. Clon like way more complicated cloning. You have to breed something. You have to take some pollen from a male, blow it on a female, take the seeds, pop those, find which ones are stable. He said that like a pip.

Though you know he's like, you gotta find on that jumping out of you right now. But I said, you need you need a breeder. Once you find a breeder, but that can't be easy to find. It's not easy to find. That's why there's not a lot of burns. But if you find a breeder, then you have something when you go to a bigger girl. So you got your breeder. Here's the big gas grow What are they growing in there? Probably some bullshit? With the good menu. You can go in and say, hey, why don't you

grow this for me? I'm gonna buy it back at this price running through a legal distribution. Boom boom boom. So the first step is a breeder, second step is a grower to actually grow. I know bullshit grow or you need someone could grow fire right, breeder grower identity, create your brand, get your color wat I own this color way. Hell, other brands trying to use its my blue. It's my ship. I can't they can't. It's a wrap. This my cookies. This sea right here, this see is

my sea. Breeder Champion got to see exactly that that logos forever embedded in people's mind. So you get breeder, grower, right identity distribution and that's it. Bro did champion never trying to come at you about that seat or no because it looks so different. No, they came at me about something else. Yeah, but they were cool. Shout out the champion. Look, I've been sewed by everybody because I flip a lot of ship and Champion was actually really cool. Bro.

Champion was like, I'm suing you, but nicely. We give a couple of mutual friends and like, probably just stop it and tell us how much you show them, we want to see you. I'm like, funk really well, they said stop and we won't tell them how much they wanted the analytics. They just want to make sure they weren't going crazy, you know what I mean. But they were the coolest people to ever you know, go that route.

I've been sued by a lot of motherfucker's. Yeah, we got champions on shirts right now, man, because the bandy from Champion the Champion, they're a real player about it. Man. Like the hip hop, so what what's what's the what's the favorite thing that you like about cannabis game? And what's your favorite thing you like about hip hop? I think the favorite thing about the canvas game is actually being being able to be a part of someone's day.

So like if I sell you a bag in my story, if you go to cookies and you buy a bag, you're either gonna help that's gonna help you with a hard day, it's gonna help you when you celebrate, and you're gonna celebrate with my weed. You don't listen to music, you're gonna make, you're gonna create. It actually affects somebody in their day and what they do and their decisions, in their mood, in their life. Like it's more than just selling someone some weed and making some money. They're

gonna take this week, they're gonna smell that ship. They're gonna share that shot with their friends. They're gonna smoke that ship. And whether they're creating, venting, celebrating, chilling, just got done, fucking. I want to smoke a joint. We're a part of someone's day. They use this as a part of their day. I don't think that's cool as fun to me, brother, I'm actually creating things that I've seen one of the homies, so they pull out a cookie back and like, my hell, yeah, I'm part of

his day. He was at that pack up in the trunk and drove where he was coming and he's got to bust it out and smoking with someone and they're gonna have a good laughing. See a part of someone's day is hard, but I like that. That's my favorite part about the Candida's business. The money would I've been paid. I'm not worried about none of that. Ship. So yeah, you know what I mean? This is this is this is this is that time, that time. Hey, look what are we doing the cookies Miami to the process of

it right now? Where in the process of getting the license medically here. I got my medical license medical here and I think Rex coming soon. Everyone knows. But you know, just to give you example on some business ship for the people are watching, it's a hundred million dollars to get a license out here, brother, get the funk out of dispensary. Well, the way they do is you'll be able to grow, have thirty stores and distribution on it. But in order to be one of the guys, come on, man,

raise that money. Man, I ain't working working on the wet You know, I got a text. I know we got brandsom. But that's what's gonna be dope is when I when I have my stores. Bro, I embrace everyone. So if I'm in l A, if you're a fire as Brandon lad, I'm putting you on the shelf. If I'm going to be in Nevada, the best growers a cool people that are really from the culture. When I come to Miami drink you're saying, so, you're saying cookies the store you have other people. He just says the

store cookies. The store is only brand. Bro, that would be whack oh if that would be here's the best thing about it, Bro, I look at like this. I'm a fucking pothhead. I like variety. I appreciate herb in general. I'm not one of these weirdos is like, oh, you can only buy this. Nah, Bro, if it's fire, I'm buying it. I want it all, put it on my shelf. We're gonna pop it off. We always switched menus out, so every state we go do we're gonna embrace the

hottest brands out there. I got to Yeah, I say, only like thirty percent of ourself is our own ship. I buy everyone ship because Bro, I like to try that ship like that damn cut that I always thought, because I believe jungle boy, that's how juggle boys do. I think they just sell the I'm not. I'm not a hundred percent positive. The most part, they'll buy a couple of things. They'll buy a couple of things. But when you come into cookies. It's almost overwhelming. You got

a whole shelf full of brands store. Yeah, because bro, I don't want people to have to go anywhere else. You can come and get cookies. You can come and get exclusive stuff to this to this area. You can come get the hottest brands around here. You can try everything. Bro Is we support people. Man, God damn it, Man, goddamn it. That's a real ship. Going back to your question about the hip hop ship, though everything about hip

hop is putting artists on beats. I like I I did ask one to be an and all when I'm all retired and done, because I like looking at the artists, let's say Twister, and putting them on the beat. I want to hear him on as a fan of music. With Cameron, I picked the beats, you know what I mean. Stuff. I wanted to always hear cam on, you know what

I mean? When I worked with Bump Dugs. When I work with you, my favorite part is saying what's the beat gonna be and getting like the record I did with Fat Jo and de La getto It's like a way different vibe. You actually make beats too or no, it's got a good ear and a sample flipper. So I had my boys flip samples or whatnot. But I just really know how to pick good beats, right. I can't make a beat for ship. Neither man pick up the hazard. It sounds sp K and cuts beat in

the hood and everybody was gonna make a motherfuck. I can't. I can't make a beat for the life of me. How did I dance? Who's your dream producer to work with? I actually was able to do it recently, DJ Quick get out of here, yeah quickly, to be honest, guy, damn podcast look Quick came through. He said that everything bought out the NPC. He had made all the hits. He whipped that ship up in front of me. He played uh, he played some live instruments. He had another

guitar player came in. That boy did a clap on the beat like this, you know what I mean? Like he got some weird machine I never heard of. That was like a little machine, a little real people should make beats And this is a producers and he's so dope. Bro, that was my dream producer, right that? What about MCS? What MC have you not worked with it? You want to work with noise? That's done. Um Man, you know what, I've worked with so many people. I think right now

But that's I mean, I can blessed to be able to work with some of my favorites. I'm spend a good looking mass. Let me tell you something. It's a movie getting the personal map. Bro.

Bro, it's not easy. But the crazy said, have you ever met him? Nah? I want you to meet him like he's the most like genuine wasn't easy. We were hating with him to hold that, get him to sit down, like that's a whole episode, the episode. But but he's truly he's truly one of a kind,

Like I can I can tell you one time. I can tell you one time. It was the MTV Awards and it was the time that he missed the MTV Awards. I don't remember you guys, remember when his informacy is supposed to have this big, big performance and um, I went to the week spot and this Nick is there and I'm like, you asked the are you doing? Why is the Internet Awards? He said, why you ain't wait. That's how genuine he was. He didn't give a funk like he just was in the weed spot at the

time that people used to be performed at. Death was going crazy. They can't find this This Ni is with me all I'm like you to control go like a like find him in NAS. I want to do someone nas too. Movie. I trust me movie. I tried. Bro, I've been in contact. Not that I'm trying to work my guy as well. He said, he's a sabbath man. He's a legendary dude. Bro. That's the whole thing is just I like to work with artists that I grew up listening to. It I look up to because that's

a goal to me. That's what making music about the young hot new artists are right now. They don't give a about They come and go. They come and most of them now a lot of them too, are on their own agenda. They don't really respect, you know, the legacy. Yeah, I'm here for the long run, bro, And so my whole thing is like, all right, if I'm gonna making music, I tell people already made it. I worked with legends.

So so at what point he was like, you know what, I'm gonna make carenabis my life? Like at what point, because I'm sure you had to be, like everybody else, was just hustling at first and not

really realizing that this can change your life forever. So now just when I was working at the spot, like when I was at the spot, when I was a team, I was a teen bartending, which I used to drink a lot, a lot to drink a lot for you because and when I was bartending and running the campus club was the life. I was eighteen years old. I saw wed from Monday through Friday, and then Friday night I go to bar and bartend. Saturday go to Canvabis club, work all day, go bartend. Sunday go to campus club,

work all day, go bartender. I was sucking bitch, just selling weed, having money that bartender. I got more girls bartender than I ever will from rapping bartender. And so you were doing that before rapping. Put do it all at the same time. You know, Mexican baby, we worked, so so you're working there. And and because because somebody said this to me the other day, they said, weed is a new crack. You know that's crazy, but meaning

hit me out, is it a good way? Meaning like like you don't it's still crack hands that exists, but it's very everyone. Every weed is everywhere right like everywhere you go, Like you mean, but that's that's what. That's what, that's what they met. Weed is the new dot com. Yeah, I can see that. That's a Good's a really big rush right now and everyone's trying to get in every crash like drip and millions of dollars, but his motherfucker's gonna fails. It's a new dot com. A bubble could

be created with right up. Right now. People are paying more for companies, and people are investing more for things, and it's worth because it's hot. But once he's motherfucking real estate agents can't grow no weed, funk everything up, they're gonna tell it's a rat. It's gonna fall off. The market will crash, and the real operators such as myself and Jungle boys. Shout to Jungle boys, and people that really grow weed will still be in the game.

Who's other people that really grow weak? Because I don't want to there's a good amount of man, because I'm sure they would love to hear you pick them up. Like man, now you've got this little tire set in me. I can't even think right now. Who grows weed? Man? But look, shout to gas house, shout shout to run, Shout to granded floors, shout to see Junkie, which got Aline called Mint. See Junkie. Yeah, see Junkie Kendall, he's killing the game. Shout shout.

I say that would love because I missed him and me and Bone still talk about the war before and still getting money just up the war before Nicky went to Joe, we laughing respected that Queen's get the money. That's first, never neglected that fat Joe's washing with jay C. I connected that size have respect for the guard, and I accepted that these mass gonna hit him like making let's rest out to we didn't get out. I'm on the energy guard. I need the energy. I'm on the

energy Guard. I need that energy. I'm on the energy Guard. I need that energy. We're on that energy guard. We need that energy. I'm on that energy guard. I need that energy. I'm on that energy guard. I need that energy. I'm on that energy guard. I need that energy. We're on the energy guard. We need that energy. But just to be clear, it's not gokay. I thought a little, so I thought, you know, I want that reaction, like I want that we have the hardest part about being

Burner is loveless. Try to take my head off when they see me. Bro kids had joints wax going on. It's like, yeah, sign me candidis user. But I'm a father, I run, I'm a potential billionaire. I don't want to die. Yeah, I'll be at six o'clock in the morning, like like in the airport's like like Nigga's six six mothers drink the old day. You're taking a shot with me. I'm like, yo, my man, I'm on one, you on ten. It's six o'clock in the these weed festivals. Kids try to take

my neck off, hair burns, take a dad. It's a fucking fatass clout, Like y'all just want me to die. Yeah, the big though, I can't poke with dabs. I can't either, your dad, guy, No, I can't lie to me. No. I hit a dab in a Korean dispensary one time, god like in Korea, and it was a Korean dispensary in l A and I just felt like the guy like he he saw me coming balls, he seat me and said, that's noriega. He said, I would like to give you a dab. That's before out came for He

lit the ship with a torch. I said, A knew from the torch that this wasn't my lead. I should not be here, but he literally with the torch and I just I didn't want him to waste all this time, so I said, I'm a try. And two months later I was still coughing. Woke up still coughing. Two months later. I've seen about the Koreans the hospital off dad, but the hardiest go down like big time. I'm a bust one out because you got me drunk, Bizarre, I love you, but that wiz did you dirty Bro? He's a cool

guy man, the greatest did him dirty Bro? Wi played him broad? Yeah? WI game my hot, big Dad. He's already for drink story. I was. I was outside, I was on the phone. I seen him come out and look around. He was like this, and he held his chest again, and then the call and then the truck pulled up and he was out, and I was like, damn, they did big boy dirty. That's how my damn so man shout out the bizarre man, he did you dirty? I'm admitted right now, you're nothing's wrong with that. Keep on,

it'll listen. I'm not for the dabs. That is like that is the that's the highest form of weed. Like like that's like like after that, it's crack it. It's like that say that. I don't like dabs because it reminds me when I used to do powder. Bro. It makes your heart jump to your chest. Nothing about that feels good. I'm a big boy, so I don't want to feel this going on. I want to feel that I'm gonna start feeling my ship feeling. That's why I bizarre probably felt it hard. I was having a hard deck.

I blame him. You ever you ever like passed out doing the dab or something like that. You know what, I was never dumb enough to do one like that, bro. I never let no one get I never burnt up when I did it, Dad, I had a low temperature. I took just a little bit. I hate that motherfucker real softly to taste as he was about. I was cool because I was also on the other end watching everyone trying to take people down dabs all tour. Whiz was like, I'm gonna get this motherfucker. He would just

knocked them down with the dad. And so made me make the song wax Room. Made a song called wax Room because on tour I walked in and seeing everybody like this, I was like, damn, what the fuck? I looked at as he just said, So what exactly the d I don't know. So you take all the TC off the plant and you make a concentrate. You do it either with water ice cool water, or with you tang and you like you were juicing. It's like juice juice. It's like you and you take all the strawberries and

you make that bitch a little shot. Yeah, you take all the treat and you make yourself a little little glob and you hit that ship, and that ship it's gonna fuck you up. How about sauce, You poke with the sauce. I like sauce because the way it looks, you know, the smell is really good. But again, I do a real low temp. I even wrap about it, man, I could try to get my fans advice. Man, low temp. Nothing major, nothing hot, no, no big old soft stabs,

gonna sucking day. I even throw the wax in the blunt like I like wax when I'm golding the blunt, because I see, I'm not. I'm not a wax guy, like a dirty no. See when I was, when I was young and wild, I was on reggae and the river in northern California. Reggae in the river, reggae in the river. I was probably like twenty two twenty three. I was on cocaine and grey goose for three days in the hot sun. It was like cocaine and gray goose. That's no water, okay. I was drinking gray goose, wilding

out with a bunch of beautiful women. And your boy dropped and I felt when I before I happened, I felt my chest score like that. I felt my heart jumped hell hard and I dropped. I had to have the medace coming ship. And so that's why I have anxiety to this day because I always think about that because I probably was about to die. Right. But that's why I don't sunk with the hash, because when I smoked after that happened, not mind you, before that happened.

This is like I was smoking big hash in Amsterdam and in the Bay. I would love hash. I eat edibles to all the ship. But when I try to smoke it. After that situation, it made me feel like that day what you created the anxiety I think getting off cold turkey. I stopped drinking, and real talk, I'm not just saying that I don't drink. So I had to stop drinking because be a bartender, you drink, you do a little powder you with drinking. And that's why I stayed away from this. If you I mean coke.

When I see this, I envisioned taking the help shots with him, my hair grown, back to the trip club. Come on, we're going to But that's what That's what made me stop drinking was it was all that ship. So I honestly just to let y'all know, I'm drinking a very long time. I'm not saying that for the show. I'm not saying that because I want sympathy with the drinks. I just don't drink no more. But I had just step away from it. I was a party boy day time.

One day, we're stepping away from it. One day. Yeah, here's a good thing, exactly fucked up. If you're not doing blow, what I'll call you good was stop it, bro. My part was when I was bartending. It was Friday night, hip hop night, Saturday night techno, Sunday sauce. That's a different drink every night. You gotta be hot. It wasn't that. It was the Saucer Club Saltha. They found out it was nineteen. I had all the girls the Cuban come here, put a little key in my fucking face. That's so

I learned it. Oh shoot, I'm up back, bro, I don't know that's the Cubans just to give me bump. The Cuban stay party. I don't know how to get so um so cookies. Um, what's what's the next step? Is there playings of cookies? New York? Absolutely my whole thing, you bro is. I want to make sure that my brand is able to put good flour in all these markets New York, all on the East Coast, all the Midwest places that love that Cali budd it said, some

weird old rich guy coming and growing some bullshit. I want to make sure that the good flowers available for all the New Yorkers, all the East Coaster, is all the Midwest. They've been a fan of y'all have been smoking. I'd love to get hot with New Yorkers. I want to make sure you all got the ship back. So nationwide expansions, next, global expansion. There's Cookies Israel being built right now. Bro. I never told nobody this. It's about to be done by October. Cookies Israel. It's my hard Yes,

I never been on going. So what part man? If I don't know? Bro, whatever they're doing. They do a lot of medical research out there. They grow a lot of weed out there. But whatever that's at, that's where I'm gonna be at. So global expansion, Brother, I want to spread this good or brown. We gotta get Amsterdam as well. Yeah, it's hard to getting the Amsterdam because I think you should just said it is a gray area, Bro. There's no laws out there, so like they're tolerated. What's

that mean? That means if I get popping in you know, I'm a minority and I got young people shut me down, but they make up the rules as they go. I'm just not down for that. But we're figuring out the little loop post. We're gonna get them. Yeah, because there's been times I went to Amsterdam and they had trash weed as well. Yeah, like they didn't have California weed. But gray area has always been Uh, what's what's Green Place.

That's the name of it, Green Place. They always the Greenhouse, Greenhouse, to green Place, Green Places. Yeah, yeah, green Place. That's all like main spot. Like me and Styles Piece stood there for six hours shout the sounds. Me and him got a great album too. I love that everybody. Look when I was in there with Styles we got so high and recorded that album so fucking fast. It was like in general Russian but load and mat turning the mic on body something. I'm like, God, damn, how do

you spit that ship? We could? When I first met Stiles, I thought I thought like we was gonna fight, like because because the nigga he took some of my weed and he just he just smoked it and he didn't pass it to me. And I didn't know he was a person, new guy at the time. So I'm just looking like this nicker touched my weed one more time and don't pass it to me. It's gonna be yournest man. And I'm talking about every since then, me and this motherfucker. And then I realized that he didn't. He was a

personal guy. He smoked for himself. He liked that first yea in the studio, he said he said something about no, man, we some something we smoke wrong. Yeah yeah, but I made my ship all the time too though. Ye with that too now, But back then that was like nig you know. He literally just seemed to weed the just took a piece of me. It was cool. That's my brother. She I get into the keys of my career right now.

So we went from there to the straight brother. Yeah, straight brother, that's one of the vib He's just like be real, one of the legends that never changed up. Bro' just solid bro Like pick him up and his wife, Um time to come to Miami. We go out with me and my wife, and I actually eat vegan food with them, Like I turned vegan when they come out here, juice bar out here with them. I was definitely three

months that she was cool. Yeah I was vegan, but I was turned soft really like somebody stepped on my shoe and I yeah yeah, yeah, like that's the only thinking about being vegan was opposite my god, I was. I was. He was aggress I was angry. Oh no, I was hangry broed bro no, because listen, it gets confusing. After walking you don't want to eat rice and French fries. And no when you got to go to some of the best Jamakan fool vegan is Jamaican fool. Sweat you

vegan is Jamaican food. Some of the best vegan vegan fool is Jamaican. Like you gotta go to a good guy. This is place out here, Vegetarian Delight, where we get they got they got like, oh, they got pepper steak everything, coconuts, got lobster, they got fake lobster. Bro. Isn't though, Let me ask you this. When I was king, I didn't nothing. I don't even know that. I did a veggie burger that was like brown rice, mushroom and some little almond

that trash with those like those fire possible Bro? What is that? Bro? What is it impossible to know? I'm big right now we were talking about I'm thinking experiencing, Man, that's good. The fake everything vegan you don't know what the no gmost process get it, goddamn black being burger, Bro, you can't go burger king out here, real vegan burger king out here on the vegan tip right now, burger king out head that I heard this ship is good.

The man, it's gonna be like whoppers. Man, can't. Whoppers are kind of fire man Whoper's kind of fire agree agree with what whoppers you got? You? Let me ask you something walking. Do you think that in terms of the legal cannabis world, is hip hop ahead of everybody else? Dope? Like on the business side of it, no majority majority artists starts something and they're just don't fall through with it.

It takes a lot of time, bro. Like, I mean, so people you see in the business next to you, like the peers in that world about hip hop artists, other artists or they're just business. To get the example, I'm in Miami. I'm drinking with y'all. There's Chip club down the cheat shot shot shot, shot shot. Any other normal artists would be here drinking. Let the night slip by. I'm over here watching my ship go to stream club, funk around, be up on night. Miss. I got six

am flight. I gotta catch that flight because we've got a permit to sell. We even go to gate Park for the first time ever. There's gonna be outside lands with likes and we're selling weed. And I gotta get there tomorrow to do paper. We're going to make sure we got our product together and all that and so I can't. I don't. I don't see other artists and I'll be no disrespect being that discipline. Bro, she's hard. I'm tempted to go have fun. I'm starting to think

about all kind of ship. But I don't see a lot of artists being able to be that discipline and saying no, I gotta cut this off at this time. I got to make sure I'm home, make sure my bags are packed to be at the airport. Man rappers, man ain't doing that. CEO. As an artist, I'm a piece of ship. But as a CEO, I'm on time. Well, there's a there's a big window right now, I'm sorry, a small window right now where you can get it,

you can really get it. I feel like Cookies has a chance to be one of their brands that really goes, and that should. That should alone gives me anxiety because I come from ship. Bro. You know, I grew up on top of a studio, on top of my dad's restaurant, in the studio apartment with my brother and my dad

and one of my dad's omies. And if you know studio apartment, you're from New York, you know what's up motherfucker's small and so to think that I could potentially be one of these guys that makes it the right way and has a real successful exit, that should trist me out along. So I been to see. I gotta take my ship serious CEO. Basically, long story, short langage terms. I want to fund no more, but I can't because

if I miss it and I funk up. And trust me, a lot of these big business suit dudes, they don't want me to make it. Look at me, we leave on my neck. They don't want me to make it, you know, they want to keep it just like every other business. Fun that. That's one of the things we're doing too with the Equity Empowerment program, So the cities get people that have been arrested, been put in jail, or have been charged of weak crimes, or have a certain amount of income the opportunity to be to have

to be a partner in the business. So you can't open the business unless you involve an equity applicant. Now a lot of these guys are just paying them off a little small money to get it done. I'm actually doing real business with them, giving them half of the company to half of the store. Earnings whatever, giving one real salary, teaching the business, providing generational wealth opportunities for people,

all through different cities than Boston. I got to mention, we're in Boston, San Francisco, and Oakland, so you know, just trippy bro, Like we're trying to keep people from the game. In the game straight up. Make some noise for that. I mean, we can't forget. Like I said, you're on some Kennedy ship, because if people don't know history, the Kennedy's made their their wealth through bootlegging when when

liquor was illegal. No no, but I'm saying, like it starts from that, like this was not illegal, business became legal. It's still going through it. And that's why I think that's young your Kennedy ship. Thank you, hope on assassinate my ass. There's still some Kennedy's alive. No onced Girl, Granddaughter girl people, not Robert Cookies franchise. You know, we

haven't really done it like that yet. Like like a person like I can buy a subway right now, you can buy because it's more like Chick fil A. You don't give it. So I go to a city, I'm gonna look at your infrastructure. I'm gonna look at your whole history, how you rock, I'm gonna look at your grow, how you grow your ship, how you curious it. I'm gonna look at how you operate without us. Are you killing it there? You're gonna be able to go blue And we're gonna turn this ship up. We're gonna put

the right next in your girl. We're gonna turn you up. We're gonna take a small royalty and then you know, do a buyback program when it's all time to go. So I'm on my I'm on my founder without being shady ship. But Chick fil A not funk with everybody. So it's like, I'm not funk with everybody because if you do that, you water down the bread sucks, but fire youselfs a little better, you know what i mean.

So you know, you gotta just kind of go where you want to go everywhere, but you pick your partners wisely. And my whole thing is quality control. Bro. If you can grow it and I'll smoke it, then we do a deal. Wait, where is that? If people? What if people grow it and I'm smoking, we could do a deal. Okay,

So that's the way it works. They have to grow it in their area for you for it to even Yeah, if I go to the Baltimore, if I go to you know, if I go to Boston, they already have to be operating because it can't because you can't transport, you can't go federally. The federally won't let you go, you know, different stages and ship like that. God damn it. So wait, So have the fans ever came to cookooes yet? Well, well they used to. They used to suck me to

get off the airplane. Wait what all the time? Let us talk about what I can't do that. There's a tiny but you good drink that we drink. Chance, you can't let fifty cent do more than you. I'm just doing, man, Look at least you gotta do too. He did to two things and fifties buff. I'm fat and I'm not going out like you ain't gotta worry about. Let me just tell you something that this is natural. It's all natural. This is coco leaf is natural. Come on, man, the

doctor pubscribes this. Agree the agreements. It's good just to get more champaign. Watch you show my dog, I see what happens. This is a I know I got an early flight, two artists pulling up to his studio. But I see the moment, moment in Miami and get my ship done best. Yeah, I'm some Champagne with no problem. Yeah, more last shot. That's it. That's it. Two is your luck? You know, tell me the truth though you're not. No, because it's natural. I'm gonna be honest. Goes with nothing,

but it goes with everything. It makes if it makes sense, that's it. Lit. You wanna have me and tutties in a divorce. No, you gotta be going through d M S. No, we would not do that. And cuts in there. I'm kicking for twenty four hours. You know what you say said you said. It kicks in the twenty four hours with you do off and don't wake up when we give you a dandy. And so let's let's touch on that for a second, because what the is a X? I don't even know what. Let me say that. Let

me say this, bro, do not take XANX. And if you're watching this, it's terrible one day because if you think about it, Bro, I'm in the shark tank seven with multibillionaires. I'm independent. I never went to college I'm running the I'm running of now a billion dollar business next to guys that are super more savvy, super smarter

than me. So from cookies, clothing, cookies, weed business, the music, Santa Cruce, Shredder, g pen Re, Stash Jar Dots, the thirteen businesses I have your boy be going through it. I'm talking about seventeen hour days, don't get to see the fan much, but a lot of stress. You know, we games political. If if you think it's just legal now and people are making money, I got to do a politics through. It's really political. Motherfucker's be tripping and

be a lot of bullshit. Long story short, it's not an excuse, but I had anxiety for a while when I quit drinking and doing cold cold turkey. That was good for me, but it gave me a crazy anxiety. I don't know what it was again, it gave me a crazy anxiety. My heart was always tripping and ship. So I take xan X once a day because I have to because an amount of business I do. But with me trying to get my body back right and like that, I don't really want to be on anymore.

So I gotta figure out a way to the way you're talking about cocaine's like your scarface level cocaine. Scar Let me tell you I was. I wasn't. I wasn't like storage, but I was oneing boys are on, he how are you getting out again? He parted, Let's see, it's talking about my box man, that show man. Come on, they're talking about your birder man. Once again. We can't see while they're alive. We are so happy. We are so sad when people pass away or people and they

give the people these these accolades afterwards. Let me see that real quick. Okay, you got me on the same level as you do. You want me to go a little heavier. I go heavier. Now we're gonna do that. We're gonna salute you, my brother. This ain't my last one dud drink chance taking a picture. I've been drinking this for twenty years, and I'm not used to it. How are you not used to something you've been doing for twenty years. I don't mind the taste. I'm scared

of what's gonna happen to me. No, no, to tell you the truth. You know what, you know what this? You don't mind the taste in the beginning either, you know what this is for you? Right, You're right, you know what this is for all right, give me your ship. This is the funny ship. It's the funniest ship. Waters I've got shopping the days. Back in the days, juice bars in New York City was the cheek doctor. It was a place where you would go your hand hurt.

They would have a care for you at the juice bar, right to the Jamaicans and the West Indians would be behind there. I would have everything. So one day I've seen the old man come in there and he hugged the ross. And the way he hugged ross, I said, I need to know what the funk he hugged him for, because this is a grown man. He had tears in his eyes. He could tell he was an og had gators on. So that that that that the big thing here,

a real nigga like in New York. That you got gators on anywhere, you're a real nigger, right, So I looked, I said, the nigg got gators on. He bought that life. So I asked him, I saying, yo, my man, why did you hug the homie like that? Like? I needed to know that because it was a different hug. He's like, I like it at him, he said, he looked at me in my face. He said, young man, my dick ain't working sixteen years tiger. And he said, man, you

give me this ship. Mimi, I'm gonna tell you right now, this is what is a terrible story that he tells about Tiger. You got no business talking about that. This ship makes it dick hard with a bunch of dudes drinking this shop. Man like that. Get this story though, But because this was ill to me, like this was likeuse like he it wasn't just tiger. It was a combination of tiger. It was like some blue petals. It was like we grass like whatever, like he natural and

listened to me. So I saw, I asked the dude. I said, wired like it because I'm curious, Like you know, I knew I was gonna get older some days. I like, he's tiger curious. You know I'm still I should still work regularly. I don't know, you looked like you you suck up, like and you weren't get kids, and you ain't get some kids, you would missing me. I know, y'all said the work at all Because y'all I think it's been busted all but listen. So when I'm looking

at I said, your work. You can't even buy the more Trump. Don't let that ship in. I said, I know, like I'm gonna gett older. So I said, he said, y'all, I told my wife to cheat. This is what the band is telling me. He said he told his wife to cheat because he couldn't you know? He cold And he said, his wife. So she she did, she did everything, she did nothing, nothing to work for him. But motherfucking tie, I can't try the story. Didn't it's a good story,

and it's an amazing story. But this is where he gets out of his wife. Oh my godfriends at the table, I got a crazy, long haired Mexican wife at the house is gonna see this. And you all you was drinking that ship. Don't worry. My wife is more we in in Cuban and she's watching as well. Don't worry about it, that's right. Don't worry about I come home every night I got there. I might get I might come the old lace, but I come over dad. Do you have a driver? You're not driving after you leave?

But I don't listen. Can you tell you man from kendle O, can you run my thing to the DMV now you know he can live? Damn la. I don't understand where, but yeah, cause he's coming from my name to the DMV because I paid off all my tickets over the time. Right now, I don't care. I never had a license. I'm forty one years. You never had a license. Permit once. I don't drive, you don't drive, sending them back. I sent them back and make make sorry drop only one time I drove. Three times I drove.

You're getting all of these stories. The first time I drove, I bout a whip when I was sixteen that I was smoking in my whip in the pod. Took off, was driving thinking I was cool as fun and I hit it. Old man and I didn't stopped the car and I stopped there, and old man and I just met at the corner and did but you hit it? Ran? I hit that motherfucking I ran, he said. When I seen him jump up, I said that he's not dead. The problem is I got my way back to the house.

I parted, I sat there, I smoked another one and then my high as said, hit the thing. I turned it and the car is going like this, and it just capri son my neighbor's whip. It didn't it didn't you turn all the way and whip. I should have stopped backed up turning it. But I'm just thinking, I'm like, fucking whatever. So I crushed that juice car and had to go hide the car. And I knew the neighbor knew he was an older man. Yeah, I knew he knew it was my ship because the car never came back.

And I just said, you know what, Burne, You're gonna kill somebody. So I'm not driving no more. Kind of dr sense and being a pack boy. I never wanted to drive in West I probably would have been in jail if I would be driving. So god day, let's make some noise. Nigga is not driving on You're singing you're gonna spend some money here, and I'm gonna be honest. I'll be honest. Listen, this thing. Ain't spend nothing.

So we had the vapor and I passed it to bat Joe and he hit it, and I felt like I wanted in life. I felt like and I was like, oh ship, he hit it. So he hit like two three three poor. But I didn't think he get high. I just thought he got a numb because us. His tooth was sucked up. But it was still a victory for me. You ever watch entreopurage

Johnny Drama. Yeah, as I was like the whole time, did he inhale it? Though he inhaled it? I think he did. I think he did because then um, I got him to shoot my nephew's video video. I knew he was eyes don't let me. I knew he was hot. He just standing there like, oh this nigga nor He actually got me in the video like it was it was unplayed. But this is just how we roll.

we're gonna get drink some more. Champagn got that. There's some more zampaign got. I'm blue, I know, you know. Look being burner, I've been peer pressure into a lot of things like that. Though like that, like I learned how to avoid the peer pressure. It's hard. It's hard, No, but you all black burn, they're blackburn. Let me get a hunting bro just one last thing. Let me get at hunt the pounds, let me get it. Let me

So the reason why I've been in my time and never never get to drinks Apterth'm like, he's gonna give me. Bro. Let me ask you something. So what club have you been taught to like in Miami? What is they tell us? It doesn't matter. What's the best time I've ever had in Miami? And the nightclub

was at eleven? I think eleven is trash. You know what? For me? That night was like so lay up strip clubs? But oh you're talking about strip club? Yeah? I mean you name that's that's the s. Girls don't go to show girls. They got bullet wombs. I wanted to. I only been the Twitties one time. Here, that's it. You see that. I'm a little competation on the feel like I was in the present yard to put you on.

Not up scale, that's upscale. Okay, what you need to do is booby trap on the river, my boy, Michael Corley, don't tell me about that spot. And I'm gonna tell you too at nighttime. But that's the that's like like you know, that's like the top nonchalant. If you go the daytime, that's low self estate. I can't tell you something, so you're like they treat you speaking like this because I don't want to. I'm on daytime girls, day on something. Listen to me as I don't test nothing. I just looked.

I used to have look when I when I was I was extra. Tell you in confidence, yes please, and to the world nobody's listening. I was a king of strip club bro before I was set up down. And let me tell you something. My game in San Fran in San fran but everywhere we toured them went, they shift their board. They're new the new girls go there their loan confidence. Okay, you don't only get off since pod that and so I loved the jake. It was. It was very easy for me. I have six cell

phones on the table. I smelled like this. They one knew who I was and what I was doing. I said, listen, when you get off at six, baby, I'll be right out front. And that was just the game. It's take one still around, take one and one. Take one had one shift because that ship. Take one was foul, take on foul. But I ain't a live show girls. I didn't know you were a strip club guy. No, I used to be. I'm recovering that as well. But it feels good to share my my my addiction with Hello.

I like the goal work. I would like I'm like this though. I like going like Miami and all the ship. Bro, you never experienced the Bay because all the girls will come from small surrounding cities that just wanted to be in the big city. And there's a street called Broadway Street. There's like eleven strip clubs on that street, and it was just a gold mine. Brother. I'm gonna just tell you why. Bay was always a little crazy to me.

In the strip clubs in the Bay Is because the hi fi thing, like chicks will come up to me and just be back. I was like, damn, what are you doing? Like that's that's what you do at first, and then you start like that's that's what you said. That's what you said. This get you crazy? Outside of my face? Let me get that little lost girl come

over here. Yeah, that wants getting no play. So no, no, not that we talk about the Bay Area because because Fillmore Street, you what's your feel alia the Filmore Street because that's Filmore Slim. That's like on Filmore in California with my dad on top of my dad's restaurant. So I used to take the twenty two Filmore to school and that's big, right. Yeah. We used to go to the blockbus right there and still all the movies and ship video games. You go something to the barber right

there in the corner. He's the first used to hang out there. So oh damn. So did you ever meet film On Slim? No? I never met Pipping Man. I met. I read books about that nigger. Yeah, he had a cracking bro. You had a cracker like smooth guy, smooth like the first Snoop dog Man. He was like a pimp Snoop Dogg, but just in a whole rare form. He just had it cracking. So you ever tried to be a pip because I tried to be a pip for a week. It didn't work out for me. Well,

you know the unfortunately I fell into the barrier wrap scene. Yeah, I had girls give me money, but it's more like babysitting. You like it, Bro, I mean at first when I was first coming up, Yeah, I liked it. They're just giving you five thousand, seven hundred, eight hundred, three hundred ten racks that I want to compete with each other. You went through it, You went through it. I really went through it. Bro. Did you have the curly hair ship? Nah? I had to slip back here three flowers. My ship

was booms a movie. There's a movie. But you know, at the end of the day, that's just more like babysitting. And you know I have a daughter now too, so I'm like, I can never ever funk with it. But being a Bay Area rapper, I was influenced by my other fellow Barrier rappers to break a bit too short. You know, bit just chose that gay bread I had a little fun with it, but I was like, you know what, I ain't got time to be no fucking babyshitter.

I'm out ships too much, too much trauma. And I always thought that girl's dad was gonna come kill me. It was always a weird thing I saw and I just stopped. Yea or the girl caught up, get you caught up in all kind of ways because that because that's like one of the main hustles in the Bay Area, like like coming up in the Bay Area, it's like, you know, the music, the culture, the lifestyle teaches you that that's what you do. You break a bit, you milk a bit. It's all on the bitch. That's just

what they teach you. You know. I just took the game I learned from pimping and apply the other businesses, which is really just good communication because in order to get a girl to give you your money, you gotta have a cold mouth piece. You gotta be on talk, real smooth, you gotta be a real convincing. You gotta be ones that don't hit them like they don't hit them and they still get you to get to the money back. Like guys and hit girls and ship. They're

like yeah, like, yeah, I never did nothing. I just wouldn't do pimps do. But I remember like Pimp and Juju, like that's my friend, and I remember he would never touch it. He would never hit his girls, but he had his game was so cold that like I watched them, Piper, Juju, Pimp, kN I watched them all night and I said, these motherfucker's is different, Pip and can you know Piper can can uh? I told you I'm trying to be a

pimp for one week. It didn't work out. It didn't work out for me because the crazy ship was like I always thought, like you know, and then the chick actually chose me. So I was like, yo, you bet you need to choose. That's what I thought I was supposed to say. Yeah, I worked. It worked for me a lot. I get choosing fee all the time and I just have to shake the bitch. So you got to get down. Yeah, straight up, your tough baby girl. I need you to separate yourself from every other girl

trying to rock with me. And I get wrapped money. I get paid a hundred thousand dollars to show I'm lying like funk. I wasn't even getting paid nothing. I don't need none of you bitches. Y'all need me. And if you want to live a good lifestyle and travel the world and see things, you gotta break some bread and bitch, separate yourself from everybody. And they come back into dead grand I'm like, god, damn, I kind of

got you really got. The bitch chose me for free, like I was like, you was the Walmart of that ship is. I was like yo. I was like, I said, yo, you gotta choose. She was like, okay, I choose you. I said, oh, ship. I didn't know what to do from there. I said, what the fun? She was window shot listen, So I did the nashural thing. I said, Yo, when you woke with me, just put your head down. So she put down. Pivot killing with you. You said you're only younger if you don't give me that bitch,

And I was like, I'm keeping up. But I didn't know what to do. And I went to Bishop don Water as a biship. What wants to do? He said? He with away, young blood, you know the first thing that you better No, I definitely that's not me. It wasn't me. I was just I was just I had a moment. They had gave me the Famous Player Award. Um, you know they do a m a war Wall every year and they so one year, like they give it to a celebrity every year, so they gave me one

this year, and I just I don't know why. I said, I'm one. I'm part of this ship too, I bought. I don't really want you to a blue silk ship. I thought I was, and then I realized I'm not about that life at all. Like whatever, it's way better. It's honest, good, yes, yes, so damn what then? Is that? That's right? Man? I'm thinking all kind of ships happened.

I'm drunk this right now. I was gonna say, because three is my lucky number, I was gonna say, you shoulder that three little, because you have to understand my stupid medicine gave me a booster. Is that right? That? It's a real mess. But the whole thing is, I was sitting here right now question life. I'm like, Okay, I'm fading. I'm talking about my pimping experience got me talking about that, But I really want to do what

the fucking this ship is? I'm not gonna lie we didn't make our own version of tiger Bone, and we need to put it. Stay in here and right somebody, that's that's cool because that was smoking me up too out here in the base. I'm like, is it the base of my heart beat? Oh? Yeah, because because you're working at a great student that's what's over there. Day we're about to knock. Yeah, that's a dope. That's a dope. Studio.

You got me, you got me? Sol fading right now, I can't and like the ship bro man, please, we want you to feel coach taking the show. I tag up for you. Okay, we's gotta get into smoke without him trying to take me down. He definitely not gonna smoke. I ain't gonna lie to you how he can say no, but I couldn't earlier because you're a great guy. Man, got you gotta gotta attributed to how many how many senses does it takes to get to you? How I

feel right now? Well, I'm four, I'm done. This is three, so I want to I'm gonna relax, so before you're done, then two, I'm done. I'm done it to that. Yeah, you're good. I mean, well, well, I take a little bit more for me, like because you know sometimes these interviews last about two hours, Like I think we just started at nine, And what time is it right now? Man? We t thirty were hour and a half right now

something like that. Right, I'm wondering. I'm wondering. I'm wondering how that ship creeped up on me though, because I was tangled and now I'm like this, Yeah, I feel like I feel like in l ME code. Yeah, I feel like you want to go back to Pepper right now? Whatever? This this is bad? Yeah, he's want to go back. You know what we used to do you should do on tour? I kid you not. We used to um when when Death Jam, when I started, when I was my years on Death Jam, Jeff Damn started to realize

that I liked it that type of ship. What then is that? Oh the lights went up? Death Jam started to realize that I liked that ship. So what they would do is they would wake up in the morning on my tour bus and they would give me a shot of that right before I got to like the morning show or something. She did. She would have you, she would have you mad. My headache where I had a bad asthletic when I came in went away because

we hoox and the smoking for like five hours. I didn't sleeping since I've been here, so I had a crazy headache when I came in. But that ship just oh yeah, this is I don't know. You're not even in style speech, juice ball. You know all he sells good ship and his ship. He don't sell little ye shot. So what does it take to get you faded? I'll take a lot. It takes a lot. I'll drink. I drink all right. So if you took four tiger bombs, take a ball, take a ball. Tag A ball is

what you rough on yourself. You put tager ball tack a ball. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't do that. I don't do that. Don't do that. Go ahead, you gotta shot there. So we're gonna take this four burner. You hey, take a gracefully, it's okay. We definitely want to business moves like all of us. Look good, Davin. It will help all of us because we come to Miami. I'm gonna give it. Your guy that's doing that right there, wouldn't get some preroll collapse. We could get some pre roll.

We've been supposed to. Fact, I'm not gonna. I feel very guilty right now. We have to get this done. We're not gonna say the name of it, yes, no pap, but we're gonna take we know the name. God damn it. This is I feel wild. That was the toughest one. Yeah, it might have been the most terrible as one. You're glad, I'm glad. You want to collapse taking him one hour? And I don't know why I sipped it and did pause, pause, pause, pause, follow what was pa because I mixed it with the

more way. So I just who was the guy that got the most funked up on the show? Not yea, hands down. He wanted the part that was like he got drunk. He was like I was like robbing somebody up. He's like, yeah, he got up, but I'm looking at us because this is not him at all. So Doc was a great guy. And it happened at the end like if we didn't even like he just he just got violent out of nowhere, Like I didn't want to throw him up on the table. No, no one through

you boy? Who doctor? But he a chap? Oh yeah yeah I kept that Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah oh but yeah, but what was fifty like when he was drunk? He was I was amazing. That was funny. First off, First up, Um, fifty is hilarious. But the thing about him is he don't drink, but he's he's a pro at controlling the situation. So he's fucked up. But didn't act like he was sucked up exactly, but he had to, but he took he had fun with Yeah, he controlled me. I put all the table on case

when people watched, like damn barn was sucked up. I'm like, you know just how I feel right now. I could picture him being like he became part of the show. And not only that, like I love the fact that when he pulled up he told us security to chill, like he told us security like yeah, good. And to me that that was the biggest compliment. That was bigger than everybody. That was bigger than even him being on this. I gotta admit, bro, I've been dunking the show for

a while. Okay, that's cool because I kind of mind me. My brother and I recorded right next to and I'm like, I can't go in there. He's gonna suck me up. But when I see you yesterday. We're so happy. I was like, no, it's not gonna do me dirty. He I am a happy guy. And then he said, tying ship, bro, you don't get sunked up and telling every story in the world, said with some true certain He's like, no, no tiger ship, me, no tiger ship. And then you

guys really pure pressure. I was like name, like, if I don't at least take two shots to this ship, I'm disrespecting this show. Let me just say something. Let me say what pup did Pump not only taking this ship and it was mad. He took this coup. What's the cover? Right? We had a real dream shot and he put every liquor that we had. We had a bad lick on the table. He made the whole food everyone including including tyger Ball. He started with tyger Ball.

That sickening you. I would never do that again. So I was drinking dead. I think we joined the What did he do when he left here? After that, he pulled us outside. He turned he said, man, he's a professional party. Yeah, I got a story of puff. I was with Whizz and hopped in his car, or Whizz hopped in the car with him. We're behind him. And Wiz had a big guys John burning, and puff said, let me get that ship. He grabbed it and just throw that pitch out the window. I was like, man,

want to jail fishing. But he hid it and through it right, he got his issue and then through it and we got to the club and try to search this. You searching me, you searching on with us. That's two thousand and seventeen. Always gotta kill you, guys. What do you need guys, We'll just let some guys out kill everyone. Let us through and pushed his way through. No one got searched him. Like, wow, Puffy is a beast. He got ever see puff By? We never live my way?

Look at just smoke Yoshi. I'm just think about it. Think about it. How many times you've been around duty have we ever said burn somebody? I've never actually really been around him like that. Every time I've been, I've been kind of like in the background. Yeah, I just listen, man, We probably just some crazy business about what. I actually got to talk to him because rich niggas gonna spend ship. I've been noticing that. Change them nigga don't buy ship nigga.

A lot of it. Everything the rich of the person is the less that they take care of the pill. But I don't get I don't know what the fun that happens. I'm a nice rich guy. I don't think every one of my crew eats all the time. Little yo Burner man. Let me just tell you something. We've been trying to get you on the show for quite some time because to give you your flowers. So just in case if you have it was confused about this show, I want to tell you that this show was about

saluting people while they are lives. So louting people. We have so tide of our culture that when we say we give a great obituary when the person dies, but where's the obituary when you are alive? It's very important, bro, you know what I'm saying, where's the epituchar whey when you're alive? Like I God bless Nipsey. But you know that love that he received after he was You think that love he shouldn't have received that when he was alive. Nipsey was one of the coolest artists I've ever met.

You think that if Nipsey would have knew that love, that he would have not knew to protect himself more. It's because we don't. We don't do this. We don't bag each other up. We don't say yo, you know what, thank you. I appreciate what you do. I appreciate what you bring to the culture. We don't do that. So you know what we do. We we That's what happens with Nipsey. We want to hear sound crazy, Yes, no problem, Nipsy did. He actually did randomly do that to me.

He told me he appreciate the rapping. He was like, bro, like the raps, don't like you keep putting out classic funk with it like. He gave me problems with my music. And the last time I spoke to him, he mentioned you did for the word cookies what Dre did for the word chronic. We really did that ship, brother, because when people said, because he said that to you, that's what they think about weed. Nipsey was one of the few artists that gave me props on my music and

my um you know my hustle about artists. They want the weed, you know what I mean. And so Nipsey he gave me props on the music and for the cookies. So I slew to Nipsey and I think that's what's important. We need to make sure that we always showed up to the different corners of hip hop. You know what I'm saying, because I'm in a different, you know, different category. But even when we became podcasters, we were in a different corner, you know. But you guys killed it. You

guys are killing it. You're super independent. That's another thing that I expected about you. And man, we just we just we just really wanted to make this happen because of you know, phenomenal work you're doing it, and and and you should be saluted. You know. This is this is this is what our platform is. Like I I interview artists from you know, eight to eighty, you know what I mean. It doesn't matter what as long as they are legend, as long as they put in that time.

This is where we want to you know, big the motherfucker's up. Yeah, those longevity, man, And you said you had thirty four. I said, fucking album Laplaza will be my thirty six album. It's just, you know, I take much seriously, bro. Like, you know, I'm very militant on the way I do things. Bro. Like, We've knocked out a good amount of records since I've been Miami. I got two artists pulling up, just two right now. I wanted to knock out someone and knock out something else.

Like I mentioned, I'm on the six am flight out of here, and you know, to say these artists names neither very that's very very good. That's very good by name dropping. Right. Let the game. Just see what we do, bro, you know what I mean. So at the end of the day. But I'm trying to pick me up one time, right and he picked me up, and um, I went down the hill. He was like, yo, you know Lauren Hill lives right here and brad Man lives right here.

You know what I told that nigga? I said, turn the fun back around, and he said, what I said, drop me the fun back off. I ain't gonna be the next nigga. You tell where do you live? Hell? So, yeah, I drop my brother Laura had lived when I lived in Jersey. Laura's right there to the right. But I never really went to their crib or whatever. I knew it, but I didn't want to know it because their privacies

their privacy. And when the driver said that to me, he was trying to be cool, you know, Laura looks right there. Now that man would be yeah, exactly, turned the around, hold me, dropped me to funk off at my gate. I've had jump out of plenty shadyopers. I popped in burn what's up? Change the ocation drugs, cord right on, holme me. That's when it come grat and sand and I re order and then it's like him and Cancel re orders him, canceled that that mother, get

me a lift. I'm not when the old man who's up, I'm happy, bro, thank God. But then they're like butter and I like your product. Look at me. Do you enjoy fame? Man? You know I do and I don't. There it's cool to be able to, you know, preach your beliefs and have people listen. It's cool to think that I was a little kid that dreamed about everything

we're doing right now, and I'm doing it. But when I take a piss in the bathroom and someone comes and tapped my shoulder when I got my ship in my hand, I want to stab him in his neck. You know, I don't want to go to jail. And so to the fans out there when we're using the restaurant, just don't touch me, bro, please, because I might poke in your neck and I'll go to jail and everything. It's worth it. So fame has his person has his downfalls. Yeah,

Fan came in taking a ship one time. It's the worst. It was like he was taking the ship. He thought it was like a multiple multiple, but it was a one see that one see the ship. He opened up, like, what's up? What are we gonna do? Right up? Yeah? I never I can't shoot in all the restrooms. But listen, listen, I listen. My first ship, I didn't. I let it go. Yeah, my god, let it. Let me tell you something. I shot in the strip club in my but that's said, but in my in my difference, I did three and

a half years in jail. They like strip in the strip club is kind of clear. Yeah I got I never looked at like you got that. You never put it INSTI I mean, and in jail, like you know, you learned how to properly code the toilet, like you learn how to you know, double up on your trying to tiss you like, did you learn how to like you'll sit there and be comfortable in jail, Like all right, so that's what you're saying this day something, I do this one day jail, right, I do this one day

good jail right. And he ran I don't know if I'm to say his name, but he ran the whole side of this one part of the jail. And he would never meet you unless you took a ship with him. So like if you had to meet with him like you like, because he knew the CEOs wouldn't film that, he knew you wouldn't have to meet with it. He would be on one side. And you know what jail they got, they got the buyers the curtain. So you

you know, you're not actually seeing his face. So you're sitting there like yo boom, he's right here, all right here, he's sitting here like you look look um like like six joints to Billy Wade, like like you know I want wait yeah, yeah, yeah, you're ship because this is scary ship. This is this is like, this is this

is this is big times to show. Yeah, so you would have to if you was transporting drugs, you have to tell him because if you don't tell him, you can't think yeah or you know, many strippers take a ship in the strip club though, damn i'ain't go berries on your lap day. Ask you when I used to be in my piping days, I go in the back to growing bitches were taking ships. We're sad. Wait wait what man? You know what goddamn it got. There was a lot of smoke. It's so smoky back the area

you can't see them there. So can you break down before we get about here? Um, Humboldt County. Yeah, the most infamous place. When you actually go to Humboldt, it's not even like it's not like this weed capital. This place it's like underground. It's underground, but it's not because all the towns are funded by that. So it's like the restaurants survive on the weed business. To you know,

the every business in there was started. Preschools were created for the kids of the people growing urban there, that cultural area, that's what it is like. It's one of the best girl climates in the world. Growl some of the best urban the world. But it's underground in the sense that, yeah, you ain't just gonna see ship. You know, you gotta drive up crazy mountains and what not to get to where you what was it called the four Corners or the four will try. Yeah, but when what

is that? It's just that it's the area that is where everyone's going at. It's uh Mendocino and Humbled and all that stuff right there. Ye as cookies grown there. Yeah, I had that really nice farm over there right now. It looks great. Okay, fire, but let me tell you what's cool about this and this is a good thing

and you know, get into real quick. Um. A lot of the small craft growers were put out of business and humble because the big boys came in by huge fields and you know, being um a real grower, you can't put cash in the bank, right and so you can't put cash in the bank. So there's these rules that come out. You gotta buy this property. You gotta do is you gotta pay for your license. A lot of them couldn't really get those payments made. They can't just go paying cash. So the big boys came into that.

But point being as cookies did a lot of contract grows with the growers that have the small boutique craft farms to keep them in business. We're gonna buy the air back when you give them ship that's relevant like Gary London have grown ship that will sell through and and you know, not waste your time. So we're keeping people in business at the same time too. So London Pound kick you. That's your stor as well. Yeah, I didn't know that. You can have the rest of this, right, Okay,

I'll definitely take it. Yeah take I know you're a blunt guy, but we're gonna we're gonna get you with the vibes because we funk with you, man, and we want to give you like again. We want to see how much we appreciate you, how much you've given to the culture. And you're rich enough that you could have walked away from hip hop forever. And if I was probably you, I probably would. I'm a founder. But you stay in the cold, and I respect that you're constantly working.

Every time I've seen you, you've been working. Yeah it's not one time I've seen you anywhere and you've not been working. Man. I'm about to go next door and work right now. Goddamn, let's make some lord, man, so you know that, let's take a drive. Excuse me, take a picture and do a drive and be good. And you know a couple of people want to take a pictures.
