Conversations About Urban Street Colloquialisms Pt. 2

G L my boy Peter back once again my favorite sports podcast, Hoops and Bruise the Homy t p J Pavvy. Feel me, we had to circle back on this conversation because like I got, like I don't know, probably I can hunt. I never got as much um engagement on the podcast, you know what I mean. And it was the hilarity of it. It was so like left and right and how people felt it was. It made people like super emotional and that was just something that I really wasn't I hadn't seen that, and I felt like

it was a question mark Pete Knight. So I gotta ask just real quick, so of all the things we've discussed and as much as you could get wound up, man triggers were colloquialism. So that's what set off our audience. Colloquial We talked about colloquialisms that to me is crazy. I'm sorry. I've listened to every episode and I don't

even retrew them all on Twitter. I don't put them all on Instagram, Like I've got past that of Like, you know, I get it as a promotional piece, but it was so diverse, I thought it would just cause confusion. And so one of the first things I got and I wanted to kind of just think. We didn't elaborate further. So God willing we get it done with this the

sequel to the same conversation. But so the first thing I remember because it was a guy that talked like he messaged me every day to have this conversation every day, and he was like, well, why is it gangster? Why is it gangster? Gotta be negative? Like or why do you why do you have to be a criminal to be a gangster? And I'm just thinking to myself, like, because that's what the game is. I mean, do you want to argue with me? Or webster? Why do you

have to fish? And And so I think I get this point He felt like urban people, right, people that come from our backgrounds couldnnect to these titles because that is the most popular thing within said culture. Right, so they like, Okay, we should have access, you know, we should have access to these titles without having to fall in line with the definition. He was like, yeah, why can't gangster be you know, me doing the right thing by the community. And I'm like, well, that will make

you a community leader. That would be like me growing up a white guy in Newport and calling myself a golfer and not golfing because the community golfs. But bro, what I tell you p He was serious. He was serious as hell, and so I had a couple of thoughts and I wanted to share him, right because I think Tim kind of felt you know, the most as far as like the perspectives that he presented. Right, I get why, right, people want to redefine what being a

gangster is. This ain't dude, Why can't raising your kid the gangster? And I'm like, because that's being a father. But I realize when you live your life as a square, right, minus the negative connotations, you're just a law biding citizen. So we'll stop using the term square currently and say a law bodying citizen. When you're a law bodying citizen, bro raising your kids, you getting no credit for that. That's actually like it comes with the car. It stopped,

you feel me. It's like it's like bragging about power windows in two thousand and twenty two. Now when you're in the community, right and you have said, interesting, you know the niggadum, the niggam that we call the street life, whether it's independent or within the community, that's the gang, right, being a father becomes more of a challenge because you know, you you're get in trouble, more like your time is

in trouble. You know, your time is jeopardy, right you you you jeopardize in your time, whether it's you know, crime, prison, jail, death or whatever. Um. So being a father carries more value within our community of this street urban life, you know what I mean, because that's something special. Most of us, a lot of us didn't grow up with dad's from that background because our dads was partaken in that lifestyle.

But if you were there that you like, you would get a trophy, you know what I mean, a dad from where we're like, that's like a doctor a father. So what I think I realized was bringing it down. People are like, Okay, I don't want to commit too said lifestyle that actually earns me that title, right, because I don't want to deal with the repercussions. But I still want the same credit of being a father that somebody from my community would get. And I wanted to

define it as this. Now I don't get it, but I do get it again. If you're a law body citizen, being a father is just not an accomplishment. I wouldn't say it's not an accomplishment. It's not. I wouldn't say that. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say that because you have a lot of I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say that because you have a lot of people who are lawed by the citizen, but they still weren't. In like, the kid lives, especially in our community, is

regardless of what you do. So I wouldn't say it's ou an accomplishment. It's not. Though, if you're just a local mechanic and you're doing just fine and you just don't want to go across town to see your kid, yes, but there are derogatory terms for that. That's not neutral. Now you're on the other side of zero. That's not what we're talking about. That's not That's why I said and and that's the and path. That's the point. Like, it's not an accomplishment, it's only accomplishment in our community

because the lifestyle jeopardizes your time. It ain't like, you know, work eight hours, you come home, you might be in prison, you might go to jail, you might get shot, you might be in a hospital, you might die. If you're living a law abiding lifestyle, why the funk would you not be a father? Yes? What some people are so at all accomplishment, But I still think you deserve some credit for that, some credit. No, they're get no trophy, no fifth trade. See that's the thing about living right,

uh uh a law abiding lifestyle. You don't get credit for being a father. It's like you don't get credit for paying your taxes. You get penalized for not exactly Like these are standard things. Again, like I said, there is a first place trophy when you get when your father in our community based off of the lifestyle you know and choices. So if you made that work, that's pretty damn special. You're a special guy, feel me to

some degree. But when you're living a law abiding lifestyle, you feel me A father, a father in our community, like I said, is a doctor, is a lawyer in this community? Right, It's it's a how did you make that happen? How did you make that work? But when you live in your life, there is higher titles, like he telling me, oh, so I can't be a real nigga because I take care of my family. I'm like, what's wrong with being a real man? And why do you?

Why would you want to be something that people created because they because the life they was living, it was tough to attain. Law abiding you know, law abiding titles. I feel you, and I feel you. I don't, like I said, like I told you last time, I don't necessarily I don't know. I don't personally walk around calling myself a gangster for any reason, to be honest, because I'm not a gangster. So like, I just think it's just people wanted to just be a part of something

bigger than themselves. And I think that's just people in general. It's just people in general. And like I could, I could understand where he's coming from. But at the same time, it's like, why would you even want to be that, Like I've never, I've never, I've no, I'm just being honest, Like I'll come, I come like I come from a family of gangsters. It could be very easily. I could very easy to be like, yo, I'm a gang member, dad, as I could be like, yo, I'm a I'm a

this something of that, I'm from this. I know. I know all the gangs in Chicago. I could easily claim one of them. And because my family is don't know, I could be like, yeah, this is who I am. But like, I never in my life wanted to be referred to as a gangster. I was trying to make some money and like get the funk out the hood. Like I personally didn't need to identify with the people that was around me in order and try to like assimilate.

And I've never been in assimilation type of person. Now that might be to my detriment, but I personally don't feel it is. But a lot of people like to assimilate and be like others. I've never been that type of person. So I never in my life called myself a gangster. I never in my life called myself a thug. I make music, I wrap. I never rap about killing motherfucker's or being like a thug or selling drugs. I don't need to be cause like I'm just could be

myself and that's cool with me. Like I'm perfectly secure with being myself, and a lot of people aren't secure within themselves. And that's not saying that bro is insecure or whatever, because I also understand it. Like I'll put it this way, like I grew up in a family where like where you know, you know, like you know, where my older cousins they come from a generation with them calling you gay and all kind of other crazy ship.

It was like a commonplace amongst like the way everybody talked to each other, how motherfucker's this ship like that. I never personally solve value in it because I had a cousin that was gay and everybody knew he was gay, but everybody was too embarrassed to like be open and be himself because of the way that my family talked about him and other gay people. So even as a young kid, I could have made them we don't listen,

let me finish. Even as a young kid, I could have made the decision to do the same ship that they was doing him and embarrass him and den'tigrate him because it was the it was commonplace amongst the culture and my family. But that ship was never cool to me because I saw how fucked up he was and that ship happened. So I just I'm just not a person that's like always been like, yo, let me go with the flow, Like that's just not my personal ship.

And I get it if that's your ship, but like that's your ship, and you gotta take personal accountability for that, and don't be mad at somebody to be like, Yo, you're not a gangster, You're just a father, You're just You're just a mechanic who likes to listen to against rap music. That doesn't make you a thug or a gang banger or a criminal. You're a billion and it's nothing wrong with being a civilian. That's you couldn't say no better than me. H, wait a minute, peple, what

do we miss for before I get it? For unpacked? What I'm about to unpack? What would I miss? You said? You said you said it last week and we didn't hear you. You said, people know why people like to do that? Why because sexy. It's sexy cashe for free for women under twenty five years old, sometimes voted, sometimes older. No, No, nobody fakes like they have a nice union janitor job at the club, but they're fake like they're a gangster at the club. Yes, it only goes one way. So

are we blaming women? I don't know if I'm blaming when I am not, I am not. I'm I am not. I'm not blaming women for the taste. I don't blame anybody. That's the same way as like when women complain, how come a man doesn't want me because of blank? Assimilate to the market demand. If you can identify that the market demand is whatever, you're gonna assimilate to that market demand. Women trying to assimilate to a market demand doesn't exist to any complain about it. At least men are real

about it in their in their fakeness. I mean, I think I think we've seen that through a lot of the changing beauty standards and and even a lot of the cultural standards standards in the world, like they've been trying to assimilate. But I'm not gonna blame women for I'm not gonna blame women for men's in security, because I don't hear any women walking around being like, yo, I'm a gangster. Yo, I'm a thug. Yo, I'm a real nig. But they'll walk around no, I'm a bitch

with ask some sweetheart. We know that's not yours. That But but even Patty, what you're gonna say is an anomaly. It's gonna be an anomaly versus no. But but I'm gonna tell you the difference though women. Men do everything for women. Women do everything for women. I still do. I still don't really really buy that. All the way I know they do. They don't do it for themselves. The lie they tell is they do it for themselves. They don't do it the life they tell us that

they do it for other way. I never heard a woman saying I do it for other women I heard all the time. I never in my life heard it. I've always heard not dressing up for a man. I'm dressing up. I'm dressing up from other girls to see me whatever you're not because those girls are gonna buy you a dress. That is Muslim woman to tell you, I never I have heard that before as well. Pete, and I've always been like, all, are you buying your own drinks tonight? I've literally everyone would tell me I

did this for myself. Facts tell us. I hear both they I totally hear it out a lot here both and I also occur I'm dressing I dressed up for my girlfriends tonight, Like all right, so so just tell me you didn't want to Actually would make sense if they told me, oh, yeah, we're all doing this, I would actually be like, Okay, that makes sense. That's y'all. You a form, okay, uniform tonight. I'm cool. But at least at least you'll organized. And I'm cool for that

as long as there's some sensible thing. So, but look to rewind, right, and this is dope because we could get into that, right, We could get into that, right, Yeah, we get into that. So like when people in our community, right, the Urbis street community will call people gay, right, what they were implicating was you were soft. Yeah, so but this is something that bothers me. Yeah, but gay doesn't mean soft. I'm gonna tell you why you're wrong. The

literal definite term this. Yeah, we're talking about cultural things. That's weird. I literally saw a dude with a beard and a weave and he's singing these Patti LaBelle songs. Was he in Los Angeles? Was he at the Louisiana checking out them? People? Different? This person is from Atlanta. Different.

I mean, yeah, that's like a capital, the capital, the capital of urban homosexuality as far as a cultural thing like that, Like that impact is unbelievable, like I've never seen Like that's to me, the epicenter of how every if Like so if you're gonna talk about urban homosexuality, all everything culture related, style related come from there. Like them, they up on it. So I'm telling you because this is why I first start seeing some of the ship

in Groves. So look, so he's singing these patting the bell songs and it irritates men. I'm thinking to myself, like, bro, why can't you just be gay? Why it always got to be some weird ship? Why it always got to be you gotta do contrast ship? You feel me like it's like crypt that were bloods, I'd be like, bro, why like crimps that we're in, Like why what is the point of the contrast? Like okay, are you setting somebody up like you like you want somebody to come

ask you like, Hey, where are you from? You feel me? So you could like get the jump on them or are you like you're like, I'm the baddest nick I just wear what I want to wear, Like what is

the purpose? So okay, now now see this is my only issue with this part of this conversation because now we're talking about stuff that you can physically see versus what ideologically or in terms of people's ego is making is like reflecting in the insecurities because like you can call yourself a gangster on the internet, that don't mean you portray that lifestyle in the in the real life. Right what you're talking about is like real life ship,

and that's also apparent ship. Also, we know, like somebody could make a statement in terms of anything about anybody's appearance and be like, Yo, why you make that decision? But that's my But that's my point though, right, Like, like people could look at the met Gallen ask a lot of people about a lot of decisions that was made about a lot of that difference that point the point of that day. What really makes that different though

if because the event, the event is built around being outlandish. Yeah, but what if every day of their life is built around being outlandish. Well that's the point. That's why people don't wear met Galla outfits on Tuesday just to the liquor store. And if you do, I'm looking at you like, this is not the appropriate event for such apperil. But let me get back to the point. So like so when you say the Grammys, I definitely did. But that's not the point. Listen, dickies, this is the whole us.

So we get to that actor. So so yes, I yea itself does has nothing to do where your outfit. Gay has nothing to do with your mannerisms. Yay literally means you are a man attracted to the same sex, right, that's gay. Right, But why the fuck does it feel like they always have to be a girl? Well, I have a hypothesis on one element of this um and

half of them I think feel. I think it's probably by the nature of a little bit of role relationship kind of stuff within the dating dynamic in the community. You know, you tend to see kind of like with lesbians, to see a feminal stud together a lot, so you may get a similar dynamic on the male side. See, that's my point. Even even in that ship, if you are a lesbian woman. Why the fuck is there a deal though? In the fucking bedroom that's a mystery for

all meant to wonder. And the other day we're gonna impact that the other day, like they unpack that motherfucker when they show up. And like you said, like you said, right, um, because of the relationship, right that there in right, So let's say if one is softer, or one is the bottom or kind of the girl, if it's the girl, if it's the after one, this void it starts to

avoid the conversation more and more every day. To me, that's the only person in all of homosexuality being on the male or female side, The only person that to me makes any sense practically mechanic like mechanically speaking, is like the bottom gay man, because everything else that's going on there you can get in the normal conventional relationship. I don't think the bottom gay man is the most

normal one. I think the top, you know, I think it's the most explicable, it's the most rational because you can go a woman, the most rational. No, because you can suck a woman doggy style the same way. You cannot get fucked in the same way by a woman that they bought a man can buy a man, So mechanically that's the most sensible, uh, at least to me. Yeah, but but that also but that that's a confusion to me.

And we're getting off points. Another episode. You're not gonna have one of my I'm not gotta have one of my gay partners on, so I could really pick his brains and really see what the funk he was thinking, because if some of this ship just stupid. But my only point in all of it is to bring it back to what I was saying that we took it on a tangent, even we took it on tangent, right, So my point in all of it was is its behavioral is behavioral patterns of a zimilar I'm sorry of

assimilation that you either fall into or you don't. And I think where our community comes from, right, being gay, or being a square, or or being a nice person has always been looked at as being a bad thing. It's never something where like people appreciated you for being the nicest guy in the neighborhood, Like that's not that's

not a thing in our community, but has always been true. Well, watching the mask be a thing in our community because that's what we've done when we've taken the broken, shattered pieces of whatever American culture we've built over the past four hundred years and cobbled it together into this thing that where it's only four pillars. So like hip hop

is not monolithic, but it's pretty close. So you and you either following it in the lines of yeah, but you said, but you're the same person where we have where we frequently have arguments about stuff being streaked and stuff being not and you telling me that certain people are in hip hop because you don't view them as being from the streets. So it's not it's not it's not saying that they don't have a street. Now you're saying how you feel about what I'm saying. You're not

saying that that's what you've been saying. Because what I am saying, hip listen. Hip hop is a representation, right, It's it's in reference to street urban culture. It's the lifestyle of people that grew up in street urban culture. It's not about people being streaked. You don't have to be streaked to grow up in the urban street culture. Like you're not a street person. That don't change. You

grew up in urban street culture. You're aware of every last thing in South Soude, Chicago that motherfucker's do in urban street culture. You grew up in it, but you don't have to be street. Yeah, but you're you're telling a whole another class so they can't be a part of the cool kids. It's not cool. It's not it's cool crowd and marketed to you every fucking day. Bro, If it is high school, don't you want some other motherfucker wearing some big gas glasses. This is the high

school cafeteria. If this is the high school cafeterier, there are multiple sections. The athlete sit over there, the gangster sit over there, the players sit over there, the god kids. The god kids ain't thinking the gangsters cool. They're the hip hop kids on one side of the room, and the kids has not hip hop on the other side of the room. You look, it's but that's the point. When you're not it's it's not though, right. The point is when you're not this, there's a thousand things to be.

And I'm gonna tell you why people want to be hip hop. I'm gonna tell you why people fake like the hip hop. What does everybody want to listen, I'm gonna tell you why bad like the gangsters. Right, I'm gonna tell you why people fake like they I'm gonna tell you why they fake like they hip hop. It is the easiest thing to lie and say you have every other thing in the world. You actually have to have, like like checkable resources, like literally anybody. The thing about

being a man. I used to get so mad at my homeboys. Bro, they would let anybody join. It would be a motherfucker who I Q is twenty six six? Oh you know, show that nigga some love. I've always said, I think that's the biggest flawing gang banging. People don't understand even the members. The members. Most don't understand how integral it is to choose members, right. They don't get how integral that is, right, because gang banging is weird

because one person represents everybody. Like if one of my homeboys go to the Pj's Imperial Courts, which is two minutes from where I'm from, p J Watch Crips Imperial Courts and they shoot. They go to the Pink Store, which is the store inside the Imperial Court projects. And if that one homie, right, he goes over there to get something. He has a situation with the PJ Cribs

and it requires him to shoot him. Right, he gets to shoot him, and he kills two or three p J cribs, Shoot four or five of them, you know what I'm saying, Shoot four or five of them, the whole nine. Right, he could run away if I drive down Imperial right by the you know, if I drive an Imperial past the Imperial courts and they see glasses, they will shoot at me. They are not going to come with simple conflict resolutions. At some point, it's going

to be all out war all the time. And that's why I've always said most gang members are not really in tune with what is going on, Like they're just a part of it, no different than the American person that feels their hatriot. They really have no real idea of what's going on. They're just a part of it. Yeah, And they're not real Americans in they're not really you're not a real American. You don't know what it feels like are real Americans? Because it's just a propaganda, Like

it don't take much to be a really point. It don't take much to be a real nigger in these days But this is my point, This is my point. To be a real American, you have to be born here. You have to go through a fucking strenuous process. They don't just put seven Americans around you and they beat you up for not seconds and you're an American yet Yet, if an American person right travels to Iraq and blows up something, they're not just gonna send the nukes. They're

gonna call, hey, this motherfucker. No, we don't know this motherfucker. It's going to be conflict resolution. And you know why, because America does a much better job at becoming a man. You could come in the hood. If if America you could come in the hood, you could come over your in the hood. But that don't mean you wanted the homies. Oh no, No, you have American citizenship. I don't know. And they're not gonna put seven Americans around you and just beat you up for ninety seconds. In you in

hold up. They'll even let you pay taxes or we can get some money. You're getting money over here. You pay your taxes because you get money over here. But that don't mean you wanted to hume. Again, that don't mean you gotta be born into this motherfucker or go through the strenuous process of being one of the homies, and it don't take ninety seconds. That mean, yeah, but if you but but but even then you conflated ninety

seconds to American citizenship. Right, anybody could just go and get jumped in for ninety seconds and be like, yo, now I'm a real niggers point, but no, no, I understand that's your point. But my point is it's fucking easy to assimilate and you're and you're missing the whole thing.

They don't give a funk about none of that, all of the terms that the street, the cool kids, the jocks, all of the terms right because everybody high school probably y'all, y'all have all had your own slang, and only the cool kids might have used their own certain slang within the school or whatever. Not everybody was just using that. But even when people was using it, they was using it because they was trying to be cool. People are just trying to assimilate and be like something that they

feel is cool. And that's the whole problem to me personally within our community is that we don't have enough individuals. I argue all the time with my homies about business ship and they always I'm scared. I'm like, well, what you're scared for? It like because other people failed. I'm like, you're an individual who gives a funk about who else failed. You're fucking individual. Yeah, but obviously so many people failed trug do it's like, all right, we then you just

assimilated to the rest of them losers. You just assimilated to the loser because you know why you can do. When people fail, you're gonna be like, how did you fail? Yeah, But it's the same thing with this culture because if you listen to the actual music, none of this fucking music is about anything that's good. Like not nine needing five, no, no stops, not no, nothing to do with that old man. Know what I'm saying. Listen to what I'm saying, and before you stut me off, listen to what I'm saying.

None of it is about anything that's positive. The only positive message in most of this music is like, yo, we made it out of this ship. But the majority of what you're listening to this ship is about. It's not about fun ship. It's not about fun ship of pussy and blowing money and to be exactly, and these same niggas as going into debt, sucking up their family for generations. But you have to be fun to be positive. No, you know what's not fun. You know what's not fun.

It's not fun. Generational wealth, it's not fun. Every last wealthy person I know told me it is not fun. Well guess what. Guess what would they rather be pouring in the hood or would they rather be wealthy and telling you it's not sucking fun? That's not the point again. Fun is a temporary come versus process of the same thing. It's hard to maintain. Generational typically typically three generations in and out. It's three because because in reality it's sacrifice.

Nothing it's ever fun about. Yeah, yeah, but but we're not. But my point is is like the sacrifice that people make, right, the story of the nice guy in the hood is not always the one that turns into the hit record. Like even if okay, go ahead, listen, tell me one slave in the history of slavery, right, three year history of slavery, right of Translantic slave t three fun, Tell me one slave who lived his days in positivity that

we celebrate. Name one who was like he was that slave that was like, I'm gonna just work hard for Master. I'm gonna do what he says so he don't whoop me. And I'm telling you y'all need to to and I'm gonna work every day and the Master's gonna love me. I'm gonna work my way up and henho celebrated though, Yeah, but who do we celebrate? Celebrate? Which? Whose day is that? Which day? Who is that guy that we're going to make But that's not modern America. G We're not America.

We celebrate we not know the fucking slaves no more. And that mentality is not it's not about it's not about we gotta stop looking at that. Nobody celebrates, Nobody celebrates what's regular, because that's why it's fucking not celebrated. There's no happy Tuesday because toolsday's fucking fifty two times. Tell me why the music of the past, before the hip hop culture has so much more positivity and than than the music didn't really don't have no every soon.

It was about being heartbroke. Yeah, that's not really, that's not but you gotta be in love to be heartbroken that yeah, But it's all about about party. It ain't too ain't too Proud to beg is a happy song to you? A lot of them songs really ain't that happy, bro, They're just singing and dancing. It's really not that happy. Marvin Gate telling about fun, he say let's get married. It's what's going on. It's not a happy song. That is that is that is not positive. It's a nasty man.

What's I can tell you ain't heard the old album? I feel you know, goddamn what heard Glass? I'm talking about Pat So what you're persecuting? Right? In gangster rap?

The key point is survival. Give it that, it doesn't seem that way and that, but you're indoctrinating people and you want them to follow a culture with every single, every single, every single but the majority of the popular stories are about survival, and they survivor stories, and you expect people that come up and just have an average being and living to be like, damn, I'm not a survivor, And that's really in their mind what they think, like, yo, like,

I'm not one of them, but I'm from the same ship. If I'm not one of y'all, then now I'm not a survivor. And that's really what it boils down to That's why you get guys like like I could be a real nigg and still be a father because I'm I'm from the streets, but like I ain't never did no gangs to ship, but like I'm still here. I understand it. I mean you understand, like you don't have to listen. Y'all are both survivors facts. Yeah, I'm gonna

participant whether you are participant or not. Like like the song we did together right time, you're talking about the situation where you had to run before you talk about situation where people trying to rob you before that survival. If you made a rap song right now about somebody trying to rob you and somebody else coming to help you, it's a fantastic hip hop song. A matter of fact, that hip hop song was made. It's one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. It's called Regulate.

It's nothing tough about it. It's not tough. He's the whole time he's shooting dice, Rob Warren, give me all your ship born you motherfuck You can hear the son he's that's not positive And guests who comes Supernate comes Supernate, supern recipes, flies in and gets him out of trouble, and they get he get him out of the ship, and they go hook up with some freaks at the motel to celebrate. That's fucking awesome. That's every cowboys story in history that is wonderful. Yeah, but you don't have

to be the is not a wonderful story though. I don't think but that's wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait real quick, I do what I say this. I don't think positivity is entertaining nobody want. I don't remember I was a kid and called summertime fucking awesome. Wasn't it a little bit of confidence or something saying there's always some level of confidence that temperature and him. But this is this is the thing that made am the time awesome. And that's what I'm saying. Hip hop

isn't just but those are. Urban culture is not just gangs, It's not just it's it's a life, it's a way we live. Friday is a movie about street urban culture voided of games, fucking, fantastic, fucking, hilarious, fucking excellent. It's one of the most classic movies that's ever came from black culture in America that did a drive bound smoky and and it wasn't game. Remember them was hired assassins because you didn't pay the drug money for the weed

that you got fronted for two hundred dollars. Listen to It's it's the print, It's Prince, Prince, Prince, principalities. This again, that's a lie. And I'm tired of people stretching it about the culture. It's not just by I still feel like angles always about gangs though glasses. I'm not about

gang about where we from, I understand that. But but what I'm trying to get you to understand is, right, you could be like like the same argument he's having about Kanye and the and the stolen in the in the jeans, Right, you essentially with that one song have surmised his entire experience as a Chicago into that one song.

But if you listen to a song like drive Slow, what he talking to you about being the non gang member surrounded by gang members and his homie, that's literally a Stone gave him a Stone nickname so that when he could go to school and not get jumped by Stone. That's that's a street experience, that's a real that's a similar experience of what you're telling me about what the

nick doll regulationship as it is with that. So when I'm saying, wait a minute, but wait a minute, wait to my point right, right, because of that story, right, or because of Regulate. Right If if Warrengey didn't make no other songs and he was just like, yo, I'm a real nigger because I'm may regulate, does that make him a real nigga? No? Okay, then right it doesn't. Right,

But the story is surrounded around a real nigga. So somebody that's not a real nigga, it's still gonna listen to that song and be like, Yo, even if I'm not Warring G, I don't need to be Warring G. I want to be Nate Dog. And that's the whole point. Everybody want to be the Nate Dog. Yes it is. That's all of these people that you call squares of civilians here regulate and they want to be the Nate Dog of the situation. That's their problem. That's not the

problem culture that we end you. It's not the culture that we don't culture. We live in a culture where we celebrate heroes consistently, NonStop, insistently NonStop. So how do you get mad? But what are you talking about? How are you getting mad at black people? Right? Where we don't have a culture, We don't have no historic tribes to go back and be like, yo, this is my tribic culture unless you go to twenty three and me and they just sold all your fucking data for billions

of dolls. Right, So you don't know where your ancestral roots are, so your only ancestral roots or where you come from. So if you come up around this ship, and even if you're not of it, these motherfucker's be looking at this ship and thinking, this is the only culture that I have, And I would much rather be the Nate Dog than the warrngy in the situation, even though warr g it's still fucking warrngy, regardless of if

Nate Dog came to save them from getting right. If you're grown human, that's like yo, issue, But you gotta stop because the culture doesn't start when you become a fucking adult. It's I've been hearing Biggie song since I was working born when your top stop I said it to the home yesterday, I was like, you know what I knew Biggie was the greatest rapper alive now that I'm older, because the same Biggie songs that I loved and I heard when I was a kid, I was like, this,

dude is the greatest ever. I'm thirty something years old now and I still listen to them and I can still visualize them and have the same feeling as I had when I was younger. I've been ingrained and indoctrinated until this culture. I as an end of dual descaded not to be a fucking but I was one of the smart one to do that. You have told me a million times, Tom, you can't expect everybody to be like you because they don't think like you. That's my

point exactly. They only want to assimilate. So if you put a culture full of assimilation and bad guys that you celebrate, that's what they're gonna gravitate to it. Why the fun. We're mad at these motherfucker's for wanting to be real niggas. I'm not mad at them want to be real. I'm mad at them for not being real niggas and saying they're real niggas. You can't be mad at you built, But it's the same thing you build. It's not the same thing that by by your standard,

people would go out and try to be heroes. They do all the fucking time. No they don't. No, they don't. No, they don't. They don't act like their hero. You ain't never heard no stories about some motherfucker's seeing some motherfucking the lake drowning and the person wind up living and they GUFI asked at the bottom of the lake. What happens if there's a hundred people on the side of the lake and one guy jupe and and he's the fucking hero. But people don't want to be the hera.

They want to they jumped in the lake to save him, but there's always you know what to jump in the lake and finding the rule by the exception though exactly we're talking about. The guy is like, why go getting right now? He's like, but the homie told me, hold up, I'm gonna go do it, So I just let him go ahead and do. No, nigga, no you didn't. You're not a hero. You don't have to assimilate anything. You

can go out in this world and be everything. You don't have to dream about any life that somebody's living. You can go out and live it. That's my whole point. But I'm telling you can dream about it and you can exhibit that without having to do it because you're not. Has made it so easy for everybody to assimilate. Same way. If I get if you, if I took a ninety second beat down, I'm now a gang member. Everybody's like, yo, I don't even need that ship. I can surpasses the internet.

These kids are being raised and being indoctrinated into this ship, and you just gotta understand that they just so you're saying, so you're saying there indoctrinated into being frauds. Yes, they are, because most of these rappers are fucking frauds. And you know this, then that because they're not a fucking fraud, then that then because who is a fraud? Right now, I'm not gonna do that. You already know I'm not gonna do that, but you people listen. I think people

put a tin on the two, but it's a tool. Yeah, I don't really think these rappers be playing these days, but I don't think people. Do you think they really as frauds that it's like, yeah, I don't think they like I don't think they'd be playing. I just disagree with as many rappers have dying these days, I don't think they playing. I think they don't think they played.

They I think they dead serious. Not like he said. Now, they might take it from a five to a fucking twenty six, but I don't think they really playing that much. They might over that, see what I'm saying, Like, I think there's some people I agree with you that are not Maybe they didn't get put on the gag, right, Let's say if somebody didn't get put on the game,

they didn't get caughted on. But culturally they were raised in that community and they're late to the party right there, So now they're rappingly like, Okay, yes I'm one of them. Technically they are one of them. Right, Technically they are one of them. They're just not a part of said military or infantry. Right, So I don't think rappers is just lying. But that and and that's what I'm telling time like that don't make sense, Like if if that was the case, you would go out and try to

be what people are. You would go out and try to be what people are. You would go like there is guys like C Mac right. C Mac tells a story Like when you listen to C Mac on YouTube, he talked about he said, the reason he wanted to join the gang is because he was trying to get on a rap He said that ship. Yah, that ship sounded crazy to me because I was like, he was like, yeah, I was, you know, trying to get on this rap ships. I was going hood the hood, and I was like,

this is crazy, right. But the difference is he was right. There was a time in his life where he was on Facebook and he was fraudently lead, acting like he was from different gangs and making up gangs. But then when it was time, he went over there and got beat up like anybody else that got corded on, and at that point officially he became. And then now whatever he's doing as far as culturally for that community is a different conversation. But he went and he moved past

being a fraud to being in actuality. Yeah. So I don't agree with Tom. I I think this is the natural human nature. People fake like their doctors all the time. There's people who go to certain things that doctors get all the broads at, and they'll play like that doctor.

I know, somebody specifically. I don't know them, but I know of them, and my parents explained to me that this person fraudulently presented themselves for years as a police officer because he liked the culture that came with being a police officer off duty, the type of women you could get, you know what I mean, whatever, whatever it benefits, it's people who act like they're super military men. I was the military ship and never really were in the military.

So it's again, So that's why I'm not giving time a pass like it's the rappers fault, because people are fraudulently trying to achieve titles that they didn't rightfully earn. Because it happens throughout. It happens for me, and being a real nigger requires certain things. Like like, imagine if somebody started arguing in the military they're a private and they're like, why should be a general? Why I can't be a general? And they're like, well you have to be in the military for ten years to be a

general and so forth and so forth. Well yeah, but you know, um, I feel like I went on one tour, so you know I should be It's like, bro, that's not road is and that's what I was telling how men and different people were Like somebody told me I'm marginalized black men or you marginalizes. No I didn't. I did not marginalize you. I just put you in your proper land. So if that's a margin, because you can come over here, See margins means you can't go out of here right here, you want to be one of us,

I'll take you over here. They're gonna treat you like a stranger because you're not really a community based person. So non attended them is gonna kick your ass. They're gonna whoop your ask for about because you are a stranger and they don't know really that you nothing. They got whoop your ask for about two hundred and in seventy seconds, they gonna whoop on your ass. They might

whoop your ask for four or five minutes. Because now they really gotta push you because like they don't know, there's no mercy, They don't have mercy for just every human being that's trying to be down. And you're a stranger, so we really gotta push you. And if you don't exhibit signs that you will fight back, they really gonna beat you up for real. Stop you into the ground. So you don't have to fake like being a gang member. You actually could come be one, especially in today's time.

You don't actually gotta fact like you're a real nigga. All you gotta do is go to jail for other people ship and don't tell them, go to jail for your own ship and don't tell on nobody. All you gotta do is when somebody press your line, stand up and tell them where you're from, even if you think it might come with a death sent it might come with a death penalty. That's what being a real nigga is the fact that you carried yourself in this nigga

lifestyle and the street nigga lifestyle or this gangster lifestyle honorably. Honorably. You just smutch your name out. There's no marks against your records if they were they way back. You have achieved the status of real nigga. You have survived at all. If a nigga bang, don't you even though they might have been you know, you might have been like old up my nigga, it's two of them, all right, Well,

look there, I'm from where I'm from, and let's get it. Yeah, every every Jeeperrico tells a story, right, and I'm gonna have him on the pod. He tells a story where he was a kid. He was thirteen fourteen, and he's from Broadway gangster crip right which is off Broadway, right next to the one ten freeway. And he was a kid. He got caught up by some devil lines and grown ups and they asked him where is he from? And

he said some other gang. And I saw some guys say to him like, oh, you know that's some sucking ship, has some sucking ship. Well, really, if you went to the coach, if you're thirteen and fourteen, we would have made fun of you. You the canter, the hood, we niggas mark you out. We're just because you're thirteen fourteen, We wouldn't expected you to necessarily have to contend with three and four grown men from a hood that will probably murder you. No, no, I'll even I'll even tell

you two stories about what I knew. Like you know what, this ain't really for me. I'm a regular nigger, right, all right? Cool? So, like I said, I grew up in a stone neighborhood. So everybody in my neighborhood was all stars. So obviously when you like eleven twelve, really before you go to high school, like if you if you outside, Nigga said, just saying you stones because like that's what you were around, right cool? So yeah, coach

like that, like so everybody just like a stone. So I remember one day, so okay, So I grew up in a place car Rack City. The place next to me was Fintown. It was still all stones before whatever reason, I have no idea why my neighborhood can not cross the train tracks. If you cross the train tracks, you have to be ready, possibly to fight, right, so cool. We crossed the train tracks one day, getting bored, a

crossed the blite man. But all the girls used to be over there, like it was more girls in that community. It was more girls in that community. So we rolled out. So we rolled out bye Caross train tracks. One time found some girls pick them up, put them like on our pays and rode them like somewhere else. We're like, yo, let's go back and like see if we can find some mode. We go back, make the wrong turn, we get stopped by something. We like eleven twelve, they're like

seventeen years old. Probably we get stopped right. They're like, man, somebody took my bike yesterday and he looked at me and was like she kind of looked like yours. I'm like, oh ship. So we walk over check my heart rate and then it was like I just laughed and was like, gonna get up by the hand, don't come back, should turn my eyes around, pettal away, like the homies came back over, like why you leave them to me? Like yeah, whatever.

So that's one time I knew. And then the other time I think I was in high school and I remember, like, again, wherever you from, people would just tell you that, like that's what type of that? Well, just tell you that, right, So everybody knew I was from a Stone neighborhood and they just told me I was Stone. But then one day I have to fight somebody for like and I'm like, bro, I'm not even, I'm not even. I'm not about to do this. And that was the last time I ever, ever, ever, ever,

ever even came close to claiming anything. So I'm like, I'm not about to do this. And people think that it's crazy, but it's not right. It's right now. If you're an American man and you go to Russia. You're over there chilling. You know, you're trying to bust you. Some of them pale ass holes that they got over there, right, somebody might want to fight you. Somebody might want to fight you. Side note one of the most interesting UM

international political stories of our lifetime. UM In front of a panel of international press in the press room at the Crime One, somebody asked UM pruting about the Trump thing with the Russian Oh. Mr Trump is a very wealthy man. He does beauty patters. He does not need to dabble in the world of Russian prostitutes, even though we have the best in the world. He gave he gave them the plug in the press back. I thought

that was a fantastic quote. Man. And again people try to marginalize, like like oh, boys said, they try to marginal lives like this is something, Oh, I cannot believe, Gie me how they are behaving in said community, these gangsters, but for the whole world is gangsters. Where are you from is the question. You might be from the Jackson family, your wife and your kids. You might be from Los Angeles. You might be a Clipper. There's people right now that

are Dodger fans. That fight Angel fans. We're right, there's Later fans who fight Rams fans. There are American people, right, American people who go to different countries and fight people because they're American. This is not some foreign concept, you know, community based, you know, blah blah blah. Like they can't isolate it. So that's my issue. When somebody feels like, oh, I need access to these titles, you actually can be this. Like I could see. I could see if Drake was

mad at me, right, Drake, like, then I'm glasses. You said, I'm not hip hop because he has no access to it. He can't represent street urban culture like he could. He could go get him some dudes from the gutters places of Toronto and tell their stories, right and be like I'm representing this, you know. Uh um um. He could do that. That's not a crazy thing that happens in hip hop all the time. You become the voice of

a certain community. But guess what, just like in Mexico, there's this music called Corridos is gang stories, right, it's all Rancher stories. If you ever see them, dudes that we're having them shirts, the button down shirts with the jeans and crazy belt and the cowboy boots and them crazy hats and the music be just boom boom boom boom boom. Holly, right, them is all gangster rap songs. All them songs are drugs and war stories about life

on ranches and shootouts and motherfucker's dying. That is a cowboy. And guess what, even though they have people who sing for their said cartel community whatever, people shoot them. Motherfucker's a lot of them. Motherfucker's got shot the coach. Motherfucker breathing there, Chino Sanchez, That motherfucker's so cold they shot him. You just go look up Cordidos and go look at that ship. So that's the point of representing said urban street culture. So no, I'm yes, I'm not with Tom.

I'm upset if you feel like you should be able to carry that's why hip hop requires you to carry the burden of culture. Right. You may not have to carry it negatively, but you have to be it, like if you daylight. So you gotta be what it is you feel me. You don't gotta be criminals, but you got to be you know, whatever town you from. For sure, tribe was queens niggas to the death. For sure, straight up tell me that if nothing else this is this

is the burl. And if you go on stage to tribe who don't wrap about crime, tribe called Quest, and you get in front of Q Tip prime, q tips face, not que Tip as a grown man who probably didn't lived in Beverly Hills at this point, and maybe this nigga, maybe even But if you like I fun queens, I think, how dare you because that because that again, it's one of those things that that comes with the burden of carrying street urban culture, even for positive group like tribe

called Quest, all the way to a gangster rap group like the Dog Pan or Snoop, you know what I mean, where they have to deal with the same fucking thing, where they have to you carry the burden of culture. I refused to can compare a Drake to a jay Z who literally got persecuted on the news every day Drug Dinner jay Z, that's drug returned rapper jay Z. You know, like people hated him forever. Snoop was the Cript, Like they rolled over his c d s see me

for being from the community. He was from the street urban culture. They're like, how could you be proud to be a crip bitch because we are proud. We are proudly survived. All our friends and families is the homies we love where we come from. How could you go imagine somebody telling the military man, well, how could you be a soldier. It's like, oh, I fought from people, free, I foster, you can have your rights. Be I foss on my homies, didn't die. I foss on my homies.

We could make money right here. Do you think we're fighting over Chinese food? Nigga's it's some kind of confusion that within the culture we are fighting over anything. Oh, we're fighting because we was playing pencils and blah blah blah. No, my homie got killed because somebody wasn't a part of the culture, didn't understand the relationship and killed him. And at that point that's like, oh, you know, gang banging is senseless violence. You know, if somebody get killed, you

could just talk and resolved it. When they came in bomb the fucking towers was no, it wasn't no talking to na want to go to came out when they found came out, they didn't be like, you know, we need to get we need to get what's the name of that group, Peter that bonded Towers, that was responsible Tally banban. We need to sit to Tally Band as Americans, we need to max counter losses and we sit to tally Band down, or I'll Kida down and we have

a peace meeting. So no other blood had to be so because send all the planes, because knock everything down, because mars down. Everybody work, work, work, work. Ain't no talks of peace, you know why, because that ain't the fucking world we live in. If you look in the biblical stories, nigger, it's owned as a war. It's a lot of a lot of war. It's a lot of wars.

So again to keep trying to isolate this to just this street urban lifestyle and and even the colloquialists themselves that motherfucker's had to make for themselves because their life was such a challenge because of what they pray. It's hard for soldiers to come back and be regular Americans.

If you really was getting busy people come back going through sh Yeah, come back up, and then you over here talking about you a real patriot to this mother fir motherfucking and killed thirty six Tally Band members with his bare hands and you over here talking about you're a real patriot because you gotta flag in your frontier. You some respect, act throne cousin name if you went over there and and fucked over them Tally band people.

And that's how I feel about our community right where just because you're black, just because you're urban, right, because you're black, right, don't mean you gotta be one of them niggas. Just because you grew up in the streets, don't mean you gotta be one of them niggas. That message needs to be priest more. And that's what that's what I'm telling the time. You don't have to transform gangster into a positive title because it ain't positive and

negative to real gangsters. If you're a real gangster, none of us were. That nigga is negative. He's only bad. Del dog rest is soul. Big. You certain niggas I've met throughout the years who are popular guy members, my boy Hods, O g Hons Greg shout out to too Little Hods for me being Hans Gray Street. They are some of the most positive people you'll never want to meet. They give you excellent advice. They will sit down with you and counsel. You see me, it's a it's a

rumor going wrong. They only way people know. They don't people pay to be down. Yeah, they don't got to exploit nobody. What the fuck they want to be this snigger? Why would he have to make you pay him? You don't want to be him, you want him around. You're just silly enough to not understand that you are something that you ain't got to exploit the motherfucker's soul. They're gonna pay to be around him. They're gonna pay because they saw boys in the hood when they was a kid.

And then Nika said, rolling crip, big you, he's a rolling sixty crip. They like him, they won't pay to be around him. Oh he needs to take money forever. You know them whole asked niggas paid to be around him. So why you can't understand regular people wanted to call him sells real niggas because I'm not a fraud. I want to be around a president, but I'm not gonna lie like I'm a fucking politician, but I'm not a fucking for me and you if you start lying, you

basically are a politicians. There's a there's a positive structure politicians about lying to make you feel better. That by the way, y'all make people feel better with them. I mean, I feel you, but if you think but but if you but if but if like like even jay Z said on that neck and wrist, so he was like, y'all paying real money to buy fake watches? The irony, right, it's it's like, it's it's it's the same ship. Why are you paying? Why are you buying a fake watch?

That's why they wear faked Grandma told me a long time ago. If no, they don't want to look cool, they want to look wealthy. Yeah, face, get wealthy, stop playing, stop want to be treated like a wealthy person. What you say, you you go go commit a crime basically, Yeah, but like in the in the interim, there's a positive incentive structure for taking things to face value. Yeah, there's a positive incentive structure in place for people being content

to take something at face value. Me and Charlotte Mayne getting into this, Me and Charlotte man get into this all the time. Charlotte Mayne think I'm like a super like like a like a because everybody every deal they announced, every money deal, I know it's a lie. M. I know it's not what they say. Every last money dealer is a motherfucking lie because I'm around niggas and I'm seeing it. I've seen it for years. All this money, niggas,

all this money. Bit y'all lying. I see it. Y'a got some money, but y'all putting a lot on this ship because they're selling wealth to broke motherfucker's because they're like, sure, and I got money, and ye gangster to motherfucker's. And they're selling being a thug to motherfucker's and they're selling being a real nigger and motherfucker's and nigga's just buying. They're paying person or a month to stream it, and they want to be it, and they're gonna and they

don't want to be. No, they do know they do with the credit for being. They don't want to be. They want to be just too cowardly to go out. They want the gold watch. They don't want to spend the ten grand. They don't want the best part about the gold watch. The best part about the gold watch is spending the ten grand. That's the thing niggas don't really get. That's the separation everybody could have a gold watch, but I spent ten for I spent ten for my role.

Somebody gave you yours. Yeah, we got the same watch, but it's not the same because I spent ten for this. It's like a wealthy man who got blessed with wealth and the nickel who created as wealth in one lifetime. We are not the same. Champops left for you that this right here is self made. So I get it. I get I get the and again. I were just talking to Pete about this, which is another podcast right, which is all about how human beings have capitalized historically

all fear and intellectual laziness. I was talking to my home girl, We're gonna get the funk out of here, and she was telling me that she felt she should be able to go to the store and take a bout old water for free without paying for it. I said why, She said, because God put water on the earth for all of us. It's a natural resource. It's for all of us. Is free. I said, I agree. I said, but do you know what you pay for it? She said, what you mean, what would I pay for it?

I say, you pay for that. Some motherfucking body said, I'm gonna go to the springs myself and get the ship. I'm an make these bottle. I'm gonna spend the money to make these plastic bottles. I'm gonna scoop this ship up myself, put a little lid on it. Rapper, I'm going to have a truck drive from community to community to put it two minutes away from your house. That's what you pay for. I said, you can get free water right now, take your ads down to the springs

with some buckets. Come back. Other than that, shut the kill that ship. Like we gotta stop with the bullshit. And I get it that maybe people not thinking. But the greatest thing, and that's what I'm saying, you should never and even all of those people feel me, that's complaining. You're lazy. The reason you don't want to go actually really be a real nigger because you know it takes work. The reason you don't want to actually be a game member, It actually take work. All the ships you want to

claim it takes work. You actually are working on ship right now that you can claim. But you know why because you probably ain't working on ship because you know what, if I said, what are you in real life? The same nigga who just told me, well, gangster should be anything. I should be able to do this, You know I should be if I'm doing right things and fighting for my community and your fucking revolution. There, you're you're fucking you know, you're fucking great. Why why do you have

to put that into a gangster like? Why would you do that to that title? Because so you could be so much more? Like would you rather be Tuckie or Martin Luther King? They know they won't. Nig it's just lazy, So they can't be because it wouldn't want to be either. Niggas wouldn't want to be either. Needs about it there and get fun Luther King. But you know the difference between See the problem is both of them take work. Well, being Martin Luther King take more work. It takes more work.

You're kind of proving my point, Glass, It takes more problems, can take more everything, Glasses. You kind of proving my point. Though, Glasses, I'm not proving your point. It's easy, but it's still easier to assimilate the gangster culture because hip hop has made it that way. It's not it's not is there's a thousand Holly Wole movies about cowboys. Ain't about the bun people walking around him over with cowboy boots and horses.

It's a million songs about nigga shootingigga. That only every nigga. There's a million films with hundreds of millions of dollars of film everybody. How many fact is it everybody not a rapper? How many ludicrous niggas? Is it? Everybody out around staying to you? But it's a motherfucker out a lot, like I'm a rapper. He got one soon, but you don't. After he wats Fast and Furious, think he was sucking

Vin Diesel cool. I said, I guarantee you once the Fast and Furious ship drop, it was nigga's out there buying cars trying to be Vin Diesel or Paul Walker or whatever. I'm not mad at that fucking Paul Walker died trying to be fucking Fast and Furious, and he was in the gap there. But you bought the car and you tried to do it, so technically you put the work in. You didn't just like sit at home

like you bought the controller. That motherfucker fast What you mean dry, that's I mean I'm asking by the cart the fast. If you go to have you want to be a gagster? Hold on, I got you, Pete, you want to be a gagster? Go come in a crime. Who this motherfucker? Go robber store. Watch what they do to you. Oh you won't get your wheel tested? You want to be a gangster? Oh robber store? You want to be a gangster? Go to somebody else community and

be like, hey, you know what. Fuck y'all right here this is Brentwood Crip and have five of you and commit a crime. Break out one of the windows. You get the energy. You're looking for a brother, and that way you get to say it. But if you're not gonna commit a fucking crime with a group of men right to further your agenda, don't call yourself a gangster. And can I say one final thing? Squares civilians, normal people,

law body citizens is the perfect word. Tax fans, citizens law, bodies all all of us square civilians, tax fairs, citizens law by the citizens. It's nothing wrong with doing the right thing. It's easy to do the fun up thing you just just do. It's not easy to do the wrong. It's not that's a lie, it's a lot, it's not. It's a lie. It's a lie. It's as easy to do the wrong thing as it is to do the right thing. It's not mad a bunch of life decisions. To do the right thing, it's easier or harder to

do the wrong thing. It's hard. That's why it's only so many people that do the it's a little hard, That's why it's only this many work very hard. What is repenting for the Tell you something about this cripping. It is hard. Don't think it's it's simple because I make it look easy. It's not. I'm not not here crip because it looks hard or it looks very hard. I don't want my pointer you easier. It's easy to do the less stressful. It's less stressful when I walk outside.

Don't tell yeah, but tell a person that want to be a crip to try to be me, and they're gonna be like, it's sucking, real hard to be TPJ because he already committed to a lifestyle. Even if he ain't committed to a lifestyle, you have the hood, Hey, try to be tp J or trying to be this crip. I'm not saying this. I'm not saying you could be a part of the temper center of the good people or the law of body people. But you could be a regular nigga flipping burgers and McDonald's right now. Easy.

It's easy to be a regular law body citizen. They already set the rules out for you. There's no conflict rules. You just do what you're suppsed to do. Simple. The problem is people want to be this other ship because it's hard. That's why. No, somebody I said that we need to celebrate the law body citizen more. Nobody want to celebrate that that you're That's the point of it. When do we celebrate, like, okay, we need to celebrate point guards. You shoot forty from the field. That the

greatest guys ever. Why we celebrate Michael Jordan's We can celebrate johnsy Billups. John Billips is our guy. You shoot that blistering thirty percent from the field three place some great defense. No, you know why nobody in life celebrates the C prested. When your kid come on time with that C plus bright, I want to see you celebrating. It's a good I'm putting on your put it on your refrigerator with the magnet. C plus is average celebration.

Pizza hunt, Can I say this? Can I say that though I am a person who also does not believe everybody no no, no, no no, I'm I'm a person that that don't believe everybody meant to be great. So that's also why I said earlier, I'm not an assimilator, so like, yeah, I might see that c plus but also it's some people that just terrible at school but time. But my point is this, I don't expect everybody to be me, and I think in this generation everybody wants

to be like somebody else. And the day we accept that, that that we are outliers us for on this call right now, all outliers right. We're the anomalies today. We're not the norm. That's the whole reason why we have in this conversation because the norm is about assimilation and wanted to be like, what is the thing that's most marketable? I guarantee if there's a new rap, even Jack Harlow right, guarantee the man get a bus cut tomorrow, uh and

fucking put a plus sign in his head. You're gonna see a bunch of fucking goof He's running around with a buzz cut and a plus sign in their head because they want to assimilate. I just want to assimilate. It's just really what this generation is. They want to assimilate. I don't. I don't think they want to assimilate culture. I think they want to fra the culture bro because I think they want championship rings without ever playing in games they want. Yeah, they want the spoils without thee.

But in their mind, and ain't nothing wrong with whining the replica and in your mind you want the ring. That's the no. The point is, I'm gonna tell you why that's not true in their minding. There's something wrong with when the replica. That's why they lie and say it's a real ring. That's the problem. If Niggas was walking around like, I'm not really against it, I'm just acting like this. Yeah he's fucking cool. He's like, yeah, I'm not with I don't shoot people. My parents don't

make great money. Is all. This comes back to the same original point. If you don't want it to, but it does. You said, the guy fakes being a police officer for one reason, Right, he likes what he gets for the op duty police officer action at the bar. Right, all this conversation is what can I fake my way into for free? What's the one group of people that will give up their asset without doing any vetting of

the candidate. Banks don't not check your credit, car loans, don't jobs, don't not ask for a resume and do a background check. There's one group of people that will give you their asset without doing the background check, and that enables fakery. And that's all we're talking about here, and that's all it is.
