I Put On For My City

Like you are outside like we said in the episode, like you weren't outside. It's just you know, it's it became something. But yeah, riding dirty, that's you know, it's from the South. But like it's I mean, it's it's gang culture. You know, uh as far as E forty, you know, sitting mustard in Mayo, your scrillers at the chairs of off this, you know, off the heasy like all that is is E forty from the from the

soil where you rappids be getting your slank from. I'm off topic completely, but the point is putting on putting their work. That's gang culture. It's um. As far as I know, it's the generation before me. West Coast gangsters like you know, putting on, you gotta put on, you gotta you gotta earn strikes right when you put on for the hood. Uh that and a lot of times means you were being loud in public about you know, it's sad, or it means you earning an earn. It strikes,

gaining the reputation, making y'all become more infinous. You know, you put on and when you get up, when you get famous, you gotta throw that set up. No matter where you are, you put on for the set. You know what I'm saying. And then eventually that got uh expanded into hip hop culture, you know, or sports or anything like anything else that involves like black and brown people. And you're like, oh, I put on for the city, Jeezy, you know from Atlanta. That was one of his biggest songs.

I put on for the city. I put on anyway, it's all gang stuff. But when they got expanded, it just basically means like you you repping your hood like real hard. You got up and you you know what I'm saying, every time you put it. I brought the city with me. I carried the city on my back. You know what I'm saying like a lot of these young rappers swear that that that's what they do for the hood. But like I mean, it really takes a

lot to put the whole city on your back, you know. Um, But that's called putting on, right, And when you're putting on, you don't really care. I don't care what. No, I don't care what I'll you know what suck you over there? Party over here? You know what I'm saying? Like were you from and your dad homies, it's all about the East side. Like you you wrap your side. It don't matter when nobody else think. I don't care how stupid this look. I don't care how silly anybody else think.

I don't care what y'all doing. I don't care about your movement. I ain't worried about none of y'all, what you're going through, none of your dad homies, None of it matter to me. I put on from mine, homie,

this right here, we do this. That's why when every dog what was my expression when I first started coming on to behind the bastards, it was West West y'all's propaganda because I put you ain't gonna be ain't no question where I ain't no question where my soil at you feel me everything get brought back over here a port the core out said cut. Cut. The point is I put on for my city, go on for my city, putting all over my city, gong on for my city, putting all over my city, gong on for my city,

putting all over my city, go wrong for it. It didn't even gotta make sense. How me DJ had how he in sentences as West Coast. That means period, that means okay, that means yes, that means I agree, That means all it West Coast. You put on make decisions that bring honor and glory to the hood. Why because the hood worked it. If the hood like it, I like it Hood down, I'm down the coast like it.

I call it all matter put on the hood, which is probably why Marjorie Taylor Green suggested Kyle Rittenhouse get a Congressional Medal of Honor hood politics. Y'all for my city, on for my city, putting all my city, gong on for my city, putting all with my city, go on for my city, putting on all over my city. Com wrong on for my city, for my city. So yeah, this episode is about putting on Now, there's a difference

between putting on and getting put on. When you get put on something, at least out here, what that means is like you were jumped into the set. That means you got put on, so you put on for those that put you on. You're following me. I was put on the hood, so I put on for the hood. I was put on by the city, so I put on for the city. Follow me. If you're an elected official, I'm gonna see if I could cut this as clean as possible. If you're an elected official, you got one

job is to put on. You put on for those that put you on, all right, and who puts you on? Well, the way the system is supposed to be designed is us, the people, the people that voted for you. We put you on, and we expect you to run that work back to the hood. Right you posted put on for us. I don't care how illogical what we say in sound. You all said like you put on for us. How the system actually runs in a lot of ways, is really they put on for those who put them on.

It's just who put them on, isn't us. It's somebody would that's holding the sack. Somebody got the money that I encourage you to go back to the episode with uh the homie Miles Gray when he talks about lobbyists and that, let me highlight your player episode. Then you know who's putting them on and who keeping them on, who keeping them up. It may make somebody like a Joe Manchin makes sense. He putting on for his hood.

His hood is not nests as serially West Virginia. It's good is that little company that that keeping that uh that second house lit. You feel me, that's you put on for your old geez, because they make sure you're good. And if you're in a political party, y'all, oh Jesus, you know them elder statesmen that make sure you're straight, make sure you're good. They don't want to get you

in the room. You feel me, because you canna have a lobbyists come after you, but a lobbyists only coming after they only they only sending you to They only sending you them nice gifts. If you if you got if you're weight up enough, you feel me. They don't. They don't stuff the camera. The cameras ain't stuffed into everybody's face. You gotta be up a little bit if you ain't up. You know what I'm saying, Like, ain't no stories coming out about you, So you gotta get up.

You know old Yates down there, uh in Florida. You know what I'm saying. Oh the Santos down there? You feel me, Old Martin tall. You gotta get that camera your face. But how you do that? You get your weight up. You gotta put on because when you start putting all you feel me, then the gifts coming. If you don't put on, guess what happens or what a bloods called it? Discipline? You feel me you was disciplined or or DP if you will, and it's it hopes

to get you back in line. You know what I'm saying, Like, NI just don't really want to hurt their own, but we will because you're suposed to put on. And if you're not putting their work, you're not earning. You feel me like somebody got to reevaluate your position in this institution. Is you a dead weight as you are? Like? Is you what's what's really what's really good? And then check this out and get even real crazy somebody at some point, if you're not putting on, gonna ask yo, whose man's

is this Now I jumped into the East Coast. Yo, whose man's is this? That's hey, yo, fam whose man's is this? It's super easy? Else but uh, yeah, they go. Somebody asked, like who's he with? Like who homy is you? Like who your big homie? Like why nobody? First of all, who brought you here? And why have they not checked you? Maybe something wrong with that niked. So at the end of the day, if you don't put on, you ain't gonna stay on. You ain't up, you down, You ain't

you know what I'm saying. You ain't riding for the set. Then like what what are you doing? You don't rise in the throw? You gonna stay a foot soldier, you know what I'm saying. You become like you're you're interchangeable. On for my city, dumb dom, for my city, putting on my shipy pomm for my city, putting on with my ship bombomb for my city, putting on with my city, mum, putting on for my city, with my city, on for my city, putting on with my city, on for my city,

putting it on for my citym for you. So when you take the yeah, this this understanding of how how these foods moved like then some of the things we've been watching, it's really that's how you can explain. They're just putting on, right. They they're putting on because you got if you you you you gotta put on. I've seen videos of of that. Uh Matt Gates boy, you know, and even Governor de Santos down there giving their speeches

and even their hand gestures. It's exactly like Trump I saw on purpose, like I'm not I'm not stupid like you looking like listen, my homies teased me. Uh my homies not from here. About even the way that I stand, because I have the quintessential California tea stands. I don't know. I used to think it was because and I was. I used to be ball legged. And when I was a legged, like I had to stand a certain way.

And I used to add a matter of fact, like I soball legged, like we have braces, like I had leg braces to straighten my ankles and my my legs. Because it was just look, you put a basketball between my knees. You know I'm saying. But kind of how I came out of that, it was like I got I thought that just this is what happens to my feet when I stand. Then I started looking around at every other nig from the city and I was like, yo,

we all really stand like this. I was like, we can't all have to save leg No, it's just we products of art, like this is where we're from. Like you just you just pick these things up and they become signals to everybody else. Now, I don't for me, it wasn't purposeful. Its just and I don't know maybe it is for other people, you know what I'm saying.

But like I know, if I see somebody standing in particular picture, in particular position, especially in the picture, I kind of know, I'm like, oh, he's standing like the Vatos, he's standing like you know what I'm saying, were like you just you just pick it up, like and those gestures, in those mannerisms, they become symbols to everybody else in

my affiliation. You know, that's not as obvious as you flying a red or blue flag, you know what I'm saying, Like that stuff, like you know, and just you just coming out flying a red or blue flag like you asking for something you feel. Me, I had a blue bandanna, but that's because I mean there was the network I lived in, and number two like I was doing graffiti. So for me, it was like no, I was tying this over my face so I could not breathing the fumes.

You know what I'm saying, But like I wasn't flying that mug. No, that mug was in my backpack or or when I was out bombing. You feel me. But because I know what it reads to everybody else, you know what I'm saying, you're following me, I need to explain that point being them dudes like even picked up

my man's gestures. And I think all of our predictions of those who watch sort of sometimes even anthropologically like political trends or specifically now on the on the right, like in the conservative media that what's coming after Trump is a Trump two point oh, is one that's got all the bluster and fashionness but can actually govern jump saying like that's gonna be the one that like, oh crap, you know what I'm saying, Like it's it's that Neiggad

that like it's that Neiggat that like will shoot but he could also talk. That's like you get a gangster like that that can shoot and talk. That guy hands and got words that smooth, that can make money, and we'll knock your head off and put you in, uh, put you out. And Joshua Tree, you know what I'm saying, Like you got them the demn them most dangerous, got hot heads, but like you know what I'm saying, a lot of times they out of control. You know what

I'm saying. But the hot head that got control. Oh oh, I've mentioned before. You know, my uncle's sonny got rested. So how the day out there at seven Broadway. My man was like, I think I'm scared of the police. Man. I never seen like that dog that shook me so much. I was like, okay, so he's yeah, don't don't mess

with uncle Sonny. Anyway. The point I'm trying to make is you're putting on right you you you, you're showing where you're from, You wrapping your hood, You're showing your side in a way that at least picking up the gestures is not so obvious. And that's what they're doing. They we all know, like you're jockeying for position there, you know, trying to you know, red meat to the base,

all this stuff like that. But like for some reason, right now, red meat to the base is like rage clicks like it's you know, it's culture war shot And how do I say shot? Culture wars shot? It's because I was trying to say stuff because my mom's in town. I shouldn't be cussing like this. I'm afraid I'm gonna cuts in front of her. I mean, she's cool and everything, but my mom was the greatest example of christian I've ever met. Amazing woman. Anyway. That being said, I'm gonna

go buy her some beer right now. Stop talking about my mama anyway. Um. Yeah, So it's two things I want to talk about. These foods just putting on that they seem so strange, but it's like, it's not. If you understand, you just gotta put on. You're putting off for the hood, like you earning stripes. If you feel me, right, you you you you're bringing attention to yourself because it not only does it bring attention to the cause, it

means you could fly that flag even harder. Right, you tie yourself even in a lot of ways, it's it's dump if you like, if you tie yourself to somebody that's young and hung like you find a little b g that's a baby gangster. You find a little find a little young nigga out there that's like, you know, got potential, you feel me, you bring him to the table. All that stuff is is like it's all points, Like you get points for this. You know, when you up,

you gotta stay up. I feel like the perfect example of that is this Margie Taylor Green lady. Now I don't know her personally, I don't know her well enough. I only know the headlines. Listen. Another thing you are you understand about growing up the way we grow up

is like never really know a person. You only you only really know what they show you unless you like, you know, even if you came up with that person, even if you you know, you could, you could read a lick, you could try to figure it out, draw some conclusions, but you never really I don't really know what about what a person doing. At least you should carry yourself like that that like fam you never know.

You know what I'm saying. Anybody can get it any day, you feel me, which is why we got so much trust issues. But anyway, Marjorie Taylor Green, you know, the Republican from from Georgia. She introduced this bill to award Kyle Rittenhouse a Congressional Gold Medal for protecting the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the Black Lives Matter riot in August. So a little background about the Congressional ol Gold Medal. It's the highest honor the Congress can award to an

individual or institution. Now, the truth is, it's probably ain't gonna go nowhere, Like they're not feeling like listen, this is a hell man like it's not she's not serious. And like I said before, U k' I can't I don't know a person's move, but she notice ain't gonna pass. Why like, why would you even bring it up? It seemed like it's a waste attracks, prayers money because she putting on it's not for them. It's not even Kyle, it's the show she putting in work. Why they're wrapping

around Kyle so much? And I wonder if they're gonna stay after Kyle went over there with your boy, uh the crazy boy over there on Fox right it was with Tucker or you want on the Tucker Cars and Joy and he was like, I support BLM. See already know you lying when you say the phrase BLM. We don't say that. But anyway, I support BLM. So white people, and just this is CRT. Why you gotta like relax, Doug, Like, why you gotta abbreviate it critical race theory. That's what

it is, Black Lives Matter. You can't even let it come out of your mouth. I support BLM. You mean Black Lives Matter. That's what we say. We're anti BLM because what you would be saying is we're anti Black Lives Matter. You can't let that come out of your mouth because you know how crazy it sounds. So I support BLM. So he say that, you know, he's just I believe in the right to peacefully protests. All right, whatever, right. We don't need to again adjudicate that boy's case. And

but I will say this. Let's just say in the court of law that, as the law depicts, Kyle Rittenhouse was defending himself. You know what that means. Then it means the law is bad, means we got to change the laws. That's what that means. Like we said before with the Brianna Taylor case, if they didn't break a law, that means the law is flawed. I just that's that's side notes. So the point is she introduces this and here's her quote, Kyle Rittenhouse deserves to be remembered as

a hero who defended his community. In parentheses, it is not his community at all. You don't live there. Uh, protected businesses and acted lawfully in the face of lawlessness. I'm proud to file legislation towards Kyle Rittenhouse Congressional gold medal. Green set in her statement, Uh, conservatives have I'm reading from the hills. If you want to come check this. Conservatives have praise the juries, not guilty verdict and for my boy, Matt Yates right, who offered Kyle Rittenhouse could

have seen this a million miles away coming. Obviously an internship in his office, told The Washington Post and response to Green Bills, scarns, we concerned that awarding check this out. We are concerned that awarding Kyle a Congressional gold medal will give him a big head during his internship at our office. Ya y'all, bro that man, that man had killed somebody and got an internship, Wouldn't it be great? It must be amazing to be a young white boy.

I just look, I gotta slide that one out there. I mean, this ny could kill somebody, got off it and then got offered an internship. That's incredible, bro, I mean, step out of the moment for a second. That's a flex like can we just can we just acknowledge damn nigked like system works? You work the system, because like I don't the system. Let me say it again for you, system works. If you work the system, think it is working.

Homie cat Dog Madison um Cawthorne, right, a Republican from North Carolina, also offered Written House and internship following the verdict. As former President Trump said on Tuesday when Written House visited him at his resort in Florida shortly very after being found not guilty. They putting on, they tying themselves to like the new hotness. It's gonna play well with the base the rest of us. See that says madness, right,

But it don't matter. We're not the set, we're not the hood, we're not the bank, we're not the bag. We ain't put them on. They are putting on for who put them on. It's real simple And like I said at the end of the feeling froggy thing, just like I said, with this Written House joint, it's probably gonna work. I'll be back after this too, drag the Democrats for my city, don for my city, putting over my city, for my city, putting on for my shit,

donn for my city, putting on over my city. Do for my ship, putting on my city, pown phone for my shitty, putting on with my stymn, put my kipy, putting on with my Cidyne talking about phone for you all right, I want to end this with a compare and contrast. Why you see people like myself and people in cool zone other you know and cool zone as Jason like, you know some more news the homi uh, Cody and Katie who put me in the game y'all? Like?

How come I never be on y'all show. I'm like over here, like I want to be on even more news. I want to. I want to. I want to heck with you guys too. Man, this is this is me. I'm putting out my wife voice to be nicer. Yeah, I don't know. I'm sorry anyway, Um, but put me in a game, coach, let me be on worst year ever?

You feel me? Like that was fun? Anyway? Um? Why you see us come at the come at democrats specifically like the liberal section and then sometimes progressive section while we come at them so much is because of this. They don't put on it. Did you know what I'm saying, Like, you're not You're not putting when you do put in work. It's kind of corny, you know what I'm saying, Like, Uh, I mean that I get the tax, the rich joint dress, I get it. Yeah, But and I'm an AOC fan, Like,

don't listen, I'm a fan of I'm a fan. That's just that's it's kind of just kind of corny, you know. And I think it was meant to be. To be honest with you, I think it was meant to be. But I'm like, but I need you to put on though, like put in and he's put in some work. When when we when I did to Joe Biden for Long Beach episode, what I was trying to say, it's not so much that he is a gangster per se, because there's a lot of things about him that's very not

very gang banging. It's more pimpish where he's like, you're gonna do what you're gonna do? What then I tell y'all to do. I'm in charge. It don't matter what you think Pampan right, But what I was trying to say is he's just nice about it, but like he just as dangerous. And that's that. That was my point a byt Long Beach, Like these these niggas is dangerous,

you know what I'm saying. But just because they a little bit more approachable don't mean you should approach him like that's you know what I'm saying, Like, no, you feel me? So that being said day, you like, for some reason, they don't feel like they need to put off for us the way the Republicans put on for them. And I don't know the answer as to how to like make you be like yo, earn some stripes, put in some work except for a vote amount of office.

The only problem is the alternative is who? I mean? Who the alternative? It's like, I mean, I don't I don't know what to say, except for we need to have a little DP over here on the DP, you get it, discipline on the Democratic Party. Little discipline No never mind, but yeah, we got our budget build passed and with a little bit of you know what, we have to not get it. It's compromised, you know what

I'm saying. I just need you all to put it some work, just put on for the Okay, okay, all right, boot Politics, don't don't for my city, putting all my shittyng on for my city, putting on with my city, throng for my city, putting wrong with my city wrong by y'all.
