#185 - Rucci

a bong. And I was like little, and I always thought it was called the bomb a bomb, And I remember like telling my friends at school when I was like in kindergarten the first grade, like, yeah, my daddy smokes out of a bomb, and some someone told the teacher that shit, and then they pull my my parents into the principal's office and yeah it was over a bong. But yeah, what are you like never on the backwoods, never on the like, are you strictly a bong hitter?

What is? I'm gonna tell you to get down? So what I do is I rolled a Swisher up. Okay, I rolled Swisher up, and I take pizza off swister and just put it in my bone. You got the least there? Yeah, that's nice weed in there's weed in there, Okay, but yeah, I just rolled the swisher up to take pizzas off and put it in my bone. I don't know, like you like roaches type? So will you put a roach in the Yeah? I just break a piece off

my blood and put it in there. Type. Ship. I was in Alabama, like Tuskegee type ship out there like fucking around. I was broke as a motherfucker, trying to save money and weed. I started smoking tackling swishers out there right then I started running out of like money to buy ship. Bro So I used to smoke roaches out of a bomb and got so accustomed to smoking roaches out of a bomb. Now that's all this money, and I still do the same sh Yeah you ever like go into a studio session and the ash trays

got a bunch of roaches. Now, I don't touch nobody else roaches. I don't touch nobody else ever. No, Nah, Like I said, I robed me up a button and I break it down and put it in there. Why were you in Tuskiga, Alabama? Man? All right? I was opening up for their homecoming for Boosy. Oh yeah, what year was this twenty fuck like fourteen fifteen, I think, so you were like young, Yeah I was. I was probably like like twenty one twenty So you were opening

up for Boozie in Alabama. Yeah, for their homecoming type shit. My uh, my folks had went to show Richard he was going to school out there, and he brought us out there. He was like on the little uh, I guess the uh what's that shit called fresh Fresh by the way, that's fresh out of prison boozy. Yeah, that was I'm coming home Boosie. That was crazy Boosy that one.

So yeah, he was on the committee type shit, and he got us like to open up for some woodoing shows out there, like they parties out there was a homies traveling out there. Even me. It was a vi bro. It was like one of the best experiences I've had, Like getting like three in the morning drunk and go to the gas station. You can get chicken and mac and cheese, and yeah, that's great the South, you know, as a West Coast guy, I was living in Florida.

I was living in Tampa when Boozie got out of prison, and I didn't fully grasp I'd always known, like I guess I have like a better grasp more than most people on the West Coast, but I didn't really fully understand like the hole that Boozye has in certain parts of this country. Yeah, that was. That's my favorite repper. Like you guys got a record together. But in terms of like you seeing it in Alabama, that that kind of were you like, shit, this is it. Let me

tell you what happened. I was we was the pretty people that was supposed to go up right before him, right, so Boozy was That's when Boozie was just on Boozy like, I want to go on stage early. We didn't get to perform. Oh shit, Yeah, so we was out there really for nothing, like just hanging out. Did you get a flick with him? At least nothing? He I listen and he was walking like when they told us to

get off stage, Booty don't perform. Like we was walking on stage like kind of past each other on stage, and I said something to him. I'm like, man, they're not trying to perform because you said he going on early, like I said, it's my favorite rapper. He just walked past me. Did you tell him this story when you ended up working with him. Hell not, because now I understand the game and I ain't gonna lie to you,

like I can't tell you that. Like if he was coming to get his bag and get on, that's what he was doing. You feel me, And that's what I'll be on sometimes too, you feel me. So I probably took it hard back then, but like when I seen him, I was just so happy. It was like a full full circle type shit. He's one of the few artists that when you meet him, just doesn't disappoint your expectations. Right, That's what man, That's crazy. That's what we were saying too.

Like he came in, he brought the vibe and he thugged it with us, you know what I'm saying. And he a real hood nigga. Like hey, And back then though he was doing shit to where he was going the clubs, he was performing like two songs and then he'll perform set it off because he knew they like start fighting and yeah, and he did that. Yeah, you feel me, And I was like, what, bro. When he first got out of prison, he was getting stupid money. What dude, he was getting like one hundred and twenty

five thousand, got the fuck on there? Oh my god, before set it off they start fighting, I'm like, oh yeah, sometimes you will like meet people we grew up loving and then they'll like disappoint us, you know, or you'll be like, oh, this is obviously who I was watching on music videos and the magazines when I was growing up. Yeah, And I think I was so understanding too, always like a fucking like rappers, like artists, like how they are like you know what I'm saying, like adapting to like

lifestyles like that. And I was like I always wanted to be that person. You feel me Like I had dreams of like walking somewhere like and ignoring all these people that love me, Like you know what I'm saying, I don't do it, but like you feel metime you get your ship off. Yeah. So yeah, like I said, like when I've seen him again, I'm like, damn fuck all the other ship man. How's how's everything going with your pops? Beautiful? You get to go see him in

TJ often. Yeah, I just recently took my son out there at the meatlem. Does your dad got any plugs in Hong Kong? Nope? No, but yeah, nah you ain't got no plugs out there. I just here.

I feel like like we just talked before this album came out. You dropped something else. Yeah, I dropped like like four mixtapes. Yeah, you've been on your ship, bro, Like is that like, do you do that shit on purpose? Because you know, sometimes I feel like artists they make the mistake of doing the opposite

of that. They'll drop to get a buzz, and then they overthink the next thing, and then people don't care anymore when they drop new ship shout out to G pre go Manzi Like, I'll be just listening to them, and they know you're in a position where you you always tell me drop G don't like you feel me like the floodshit, Like I really like was paying attentioning to G and listen to G called me all the time and be like, bro, like he just called me three days ago. You like album good, doing what it's

supposed to do. Drop again. You feel what I'm saying, and you're in a position where you can do that. I'm ready shout out the Empire. Oh my gosh'all the Empire. Everybody there out there that Rouchie could do whatever you want to do with empire. Bro. Like I've been doing anyviews and they say, yeah, I heard you could do whatever you want to do an empire.

It's Dad and Doggy Style. So Creeping On a Come Up for me would just always forever be like a moment in my life where like things changed for me. Or of course I think that the marathons in my life. I could see that I was young. I was in high school at that point, I had dropped out and everything, and it was I

was listening to Nipsey, I was were you scared? Uh Well, I mean I first discovered bone when I was like six, so all the Weichy ship I thought that shit was real. Yeah, so shit had me spook low key. A mom wouldn't like that, shiit know what I'm saying, Like she, but I didn't like it's crazy because I didn't even I was so much of a fan of them, like that ship was nothing to me, Like, oh I love Bone, bro,

it was all the Bone solo shit I had. I had fucking when Crazy Bone dropped thug mentality, when Busy Bone dropped El Berner and all that el Burner the lazy bone Man, and then shit got harry because then they like really everyone kind of went their separate ways for a while, and you could tell they all kind of needed money. And then like Busy Bone started dropping like full projects with high power records, and the shit got hairy with the boat shit for a while there

for sure, the shout out to Bone the Bone. Na U know who else used to freak me out? Did you ever listen to Brother Lynch Hung? Yeah, Bro, Season of the Sickness? The thing about him too, he had to like he one who had my mind thinking different, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, I didn't listen to a lot of them, but when I did hear him, it was like, damn, bro, he had an album called Season of the Sickness, And I used to listen to that ship. I used to borrow my friend Ramsey CD.

It was a tape maybe and he's talking about eating babies. Guess what daddy's bringing home for supper, nuts and guts and slabs of human meat. Motherfucker now eat. I was like, bruh, and I believe that shit. But this ship was so hard. You gotta be off these little fucking rooms and see you talking about eating babies. Bro, That's what brother Lynch was known for. He was like kind of like a pioneer in what they used to call horror core rap. You don't even know how. I just imagined like a

baby right here. But Bro, he talked about feeding his baby human humane next subject, Bro, Bro, Bro season the sickness. Shout up to him. Bro. Yeah, Sacramento Legend, Sacramento Legends. Crazy crazy guy for sure, for sure. Man, what about like on just like are you do you have any aspirations to like sign artists, be an executive. I'm gonna start my own record label called Doggy Bone Records. I love it, yeah, And I don't want to deal with

no like rappers. No. I mean if I'm not saying like I would never sign a rapper or anything like that, but I want to do something different, Bro, I'm in love with like nineties R and B the groups ship like that. Yeah, there's no R and B groups, so I would say this, like what happened to the R and B group lost art Form? No More one Twelves, no more Jagged Edges, yeah, or even like that and like escape and like so yeah, I want to do something like that, or I want to do some country

shit too. Do you like country? Yeah? Nice? Fuck with it? What's your go to? Like, who do you like? What's your country shit? I think like the cliche ship. I just loved Tim McGraw how he was like was and then I got a friend named Willie Jones two from Empire. Yeah. Yeah, like I'd just be like clinging on like the random like country shit too. Yeah you Uh. Tim McGraw had a song that was, uh, live like I was dying. Yeah you know that song. I it's like such a

beautifully written song. I like, I said that, Like I can't even explain like how that song is. It's like him essentially singing from the perspective of someone who just found out that they have like stage four cancer, and

like how he'd lived like he was dying. Yeah, this fucking I don't know why on my TV every time, like I like turn off like Hulu or something and goes to this fucking, this fucking TV show called like it's like a hillbilly like network type ship, right, and they country singers on her all day, bro, And I don't watch it, y'all, don't even know these people be bro And I just be listening to it, like zam the song ship like they do say, country is just

the rednecks rap taking melodies and shit like that, like, hey man, there's some fire country. There's some fire ship and like low key, like if you listen to like the verses, they're low key just rapping. They're really just talking their ship in there, but in their fucking over their music. And Johnny Johnny Johnny Cash was like he was talking some gangster ship. Waylon Jennings was talking some gangster ship like they were talking about Waylon Jennings was

talking about killing. They didn't have no like filter neither at all, Like they got to talk about whatever they want, right God. But yeah, I want to sign some crazy shit. I don't want to do no regular shit. I could see that'd be crazy if you found an LA country artist. Yeah, I want to do this. I want I want to write music. I want to like produce music. I want to do all that shit. Are you making beats? No? Hell no, I'll be having too much going on right now.

But if I start making beats, I'm gonna be the best producer in LA And I don't want to fuck niggas over like that. Have you like fucked around with it at all? I sit there and like with all my producers and make all my beats. You you know what I'm saying. You're pretty hands on the process. Yeah, I don't even like people sending me beats. Do you ever have an idea for like a sample and then send it to your guys, like, Yo, we got to

sample this every day? Nice every day. Have you ever gotten to the point where you have a record that you love but to clear the samples way too much and you're like, fuck, we can't drop it. No, we empire, empire, got it. We're good. Well, they say you could do

anything you want to. It was good talk to me about the Empire shit, because I do think like it is a very unique situation and I feel like you're one of the artists who's done a great job of navigating Empire to your advantage because I see some people like we talked about earlier, like Geeperico, like he got on Empire, left Rock Nation, went to the Empire and turned the fuck up. You know what I'm saying. But I feel like you've been turning the fuck up really

the whole time. Yeah, they give you a lot of resources, bro, Like they opened that studio up for you and let you be in there and let you really get your issue off and you just go hang out in the bay for a week and yeah, turn up to sun down. You feel me, guys, he and Nima tap in like a motherfucker. That make you feel appreciated, you know what I'm saying. Shout to Gentry, Shout out to Gentry, Bro. He just made sure like I'm getting with the niggas

is getting over there, you know what saying. Like as far as the looks marketing, find what you just said, because like you know how you just mean like like the the top, like the top. Do what I'm saying, Gentry, be real hands on, like with Holiday and Tuck and they all made sure like that I'm on the same path type ship any more joint projects? Mmmm what producers probably producers. Were you just do a whole project? Yeah I do. I'm not doing I ain't doing no more

projects than nobody. How the check thing can go? It was smooth. It was mooth. I think if we, like we had some big ass records on there too, Yeah, for sure, if we probably records on there. And by the way that the artwork was fucking crazy that if we were have put more, uh probably turned up the promotion more and like had it on that and we probably would have did better than it did. But it was, like I said, it was like a good ass like

experience for sure. Yeah. Yeah, No, I think people love that project and I think like there was a lot I feel like you guys got a lot of love for that project. Hell yeah, yeah it it gave us another platform for sure. Yeah. And at that time, like, yeah, I thought that shit did I mean shit, man, I knew a lot of people that were talking about that album. For you, man, like being out of Inglewood, coming from the family you come from, what do you kind of

want your legacy to be in like twenty years. When we think of Rouccie, when we think of you know, the city, when we think of just Rouccie overall the greatest ever to come out of Inglewood. Changed Inglewood, give back to the community like a motherfucker always around. I just want to be known and loved by my city, Like Nipsey, do you have any plans of like getting some real estate open in some businesses? Oh yeah, he's getting there. Yeah, That's why I'm dropping so much. Shot

two eleven's got his story. I know he's got a new story. Shout to the Level Up Store. If you need to fly ship, go to Level Up. I don't do this, so I need to do this some more often. Level eleven follow two eleven, ontra gram follow the Level Up Store. Go up there, not everything. And he's got a new one coming to that so far Yo, it's kind of wild, Like what is your thoughts on the

whole SOFI thing? It's an amazing stadium. It's crazy because like you're you're driving, like you know, through Inglewood, and it's almost like a switch gets hit and it feels like you're in like a different place. That shit gangster bro I think like I think like they asked me about this ship like three years ago, even though police used ask me like what you gonna do in the stadium. Come like, Nigga, I'm gonna be rich with them people. Nigga, I'm about to get me your house over there with

the fuck type ship. Like it's just that ship, just like putting another light on us. Bro, Like, well I think with me, like because I'm from Inglewood, you know, like I hopefully one day I can perform at a fucking halftime show, you know what I'm saying, Like, I just it just opened more doors. I'm sure the Rams would have you. Hell yeah, I'm gonna get it together. Give you a jersey to get. They gave the homie Jason Cash a jersey. And he's not from Inglewood, you

know what I mean. He's not a Rams fan, but Jayson Cash putting over LA. So you know what I'm saying. I saw him at the Rams Cardinals game, and I said, ain't you a fucking Raiders fan? Bro, he ain't turn it down? Averati, you gonna turn down the free Jerseys fan? Oh you're a Saints fan? Yeah, ship, that's randomness. Fun. It was a Reggie though, Reggie Bush. Yeah, Reggie got drafted to the Saints. I was a big Reggie. But they got the ring. They got the ring hurricane contry

and all that. Like now the Saints were fired. I was just Sean Payne, Drew Brees, Reggie Bush. It was just like a thing. And then when they had Jimmy Graham and then Jimmy Graham left and then I don't know what the funck happened, and then it was like it was still something going through. But I think like even Thomas getting hurt always heard, but we feel like, ak he cold, bro, I feel like he signed a cash money or something he signed that he's always got

the chain on. Yeah. I was gonna say, like, yeah, I don't know that's fire though, Yeah, super fire. You know what happened to Ricky Williams who got drafted by the Saints back in the day. Wasn't he signed to no limit or something? Yeah, but I guess he's signing no limit and got like the worst like contract in like NFL history. What he missed out on like a bunch of money because he didn't sign a guaranteed deal. He did like a fully incentive based deal and got

injured and then and he had so many indoors. Was around that time I remember that ship bro and he started smoking weed and now he's got the gun nam weed strained. But that's crazy how the lives changed. Like, Bro, he was the goat too. Did you see Montrez Harrold just got caught in the middle of Kentucky in a twenty twenty Honda pilot with five pounds of weed? What yes yesterday Montrez Harrold? You remember he was on the

Clippers and the Lakers. You gotta figure it out. I want to know why is he in a Honda pilot in Kentucky? Is he trying to figure it out? Bro? He's a millionaire. He got the bag obviously, like he ain't got enough. He trying to do it up? Five pounds of weed like you got you got a driver? Did he go down? Yeah? Fell any charges for Yeah? He got the rest of yesterday free bro, Free Bro. I mean, if you get pulled over with five pounds of weed in l A, I feel like it's probably

not as bad as they will. But it's not Kentucky, you know LA Thursday or they trying to figure out why the fuck like five ball wei like you know what I'm saying, They thirsty as fuck? What do you think about? Because you know, LA is kind of nationally getting a bad rap right now. Obviously the homeless shit's happening. But every every week we see a new video of someone getting robbed on Melrose or you know wherever. People there's a lot of ship. I mean, you saw Foxhales Mall.

They just did that snatch of the smash and grab yesterday. That's why I feel like the gun loaws is bullshit out here, because it's like, oh, we gotta protect ourselves, like you feel me, like even like walking around with this much jewelry on and ship like this, like it's almost like your risk whatever consequences that come with having a gun illegally. So yeah, because you'd rather have it. I got friends. I got friends, like you know, wealthy

friends right who won't even just they don't. They don't even go outside with no jewelry on. They go outside on for real regular ship nowadays, just because of that type of ship you feel me was like, but it's la bro, like, our our shit don't stop. Our bullshit ain't gonna never stop. Bro, Like what do you think it was? Because because because Edd was bigger here probably than anywhere else. Yeah, so all that shit left. Yeah

you feel what I'm saying. And they see who still got it left, and they're gonna leave them with nothing. Because once you get that that edd bread was crazy. That was beauty. That was a moment. There's gonna be a documentary on Netflix in like five years ago, drop my own, dude, what I'm like, Bruh, there's not that would That was like like some like some unreal shit.

That's probably feeling like Ben forty sixty thousand dollars on running cars, just running raining because I

don't have no license. Nobody wants me to drive. I'm not the driver. You don't want Rootie to drive at all. That's how I am. I drive with two feet, That's how I am. Yeah, so cars, I was like that for a while where I was just I didn't have a car for a while and I would just runt a car for a month and just pay like whatever, give me like a black truck or something. Now, just get a lease and then you could write off a big part of the least because just connected to your

LLC or your music or something. Because I can't drive. You don't have a license, never had a license, never want to go get one. Mm hmm. My stepdad, when I was like growing up, you always like, let me just just w Yeah. So I got to get your license. Man, you're grown up. I never broke. I just that ship.

go get your license in palm deal or something. They know me a palm deal, Bro, I can't be in Palmdal like that. Go to fucking hemmage he Temecula. But Temecula is nice. You're right. It's a lot of old people out there who love wine. All right, I'm gonna figure it out, bro. But I feel like I drive with two feet. I don't think they don't matter me. Give like all grown ups need their driver's license. I got my d You just got an ID. So what

were you doing before that pulling out your birth certificate? No, just telling them how the fuck were you going across the border to see your pops? Oh, I had, but that was like you know what I'm saying, I have a birth certificate, but even that ship was I would get double checked. Oh yeah, man, Yeah, you know what's crazy. I had a past I mean first they gave me when I had got ID, right, they put that my birthday was in like nineteen ninety the nine or some

weird shit. I have to send back my I D So when I got a passport, the last time they put that my birthday was in ninety nine. Again, so I had to send that ship back. And I still ain't got your passionport. Yeah, that's good luck. That shit takes forever. Yeah, bro, you know it's so crazy. I think it's somebody else with the same name as me and a birthday in ninety nine, because they keep doing ninety four. Okay, good year, the doggie style you're the dog Yeah you you feel me? Yeah, and shout out

to Snoop. Shout out to the artwork very very reminiscent to the doggie style dog Father, you know, era of Snoop. Yeah, that's all from that bro. All from Snoop bro. Straight up. That's crazy. Everybody, like I don't understand, like even like the whole dog shit, how he carried that ship like he made people like dogs like just dogs. You think people didn't like dogs. I don't know, Bro, I feel

like they've always been adored. Homework and s one hundred and one dwm mationis, but not no fucking Dobermans and pit bulls and ship like that. Probably probably the pit bull Doberman because when Snoop dog was a Doberman and they turned into Snoop And yeah, he made to like the hood dogs look tight like you know what I'm saying, people was in the kidding. You have dogs. I've had dogs all my life. I just had a dog. I moved to a new apartment. Can't take the dog. He

was there for a little bit, but he can't. It's really my little brother dog, and we be on the go so much. We have to just give them to our cousin. You gotta dogs, like a kid man. You really don't know that until you get one, though. You know, there's a lot of these rappers running around out here with these fucking exotic frenchies and they treat them like fucking accessories and not like animals. So I don't even I don't even. Like probably when I get older, for

sure and get some dogs again. But like, yeah, once you get the crib, maybe get my house. Growing up, I had, like, for sure, I had a kennle in my backyard. If you go look at my old videos, my Steppa's built a kennle in my backyard. We had like four different four or five different dogs, like a bull mastive it's a big dog. We had like actually three bull massives, but two of them were mixed with the pit. And we had a pit in the rock Waller ship, which was the in house like the house

dog be inside. Yeah, No one's coming to your house to fuck around. Yeah. So if we I used to get like go outside, and I used to go through it with dogs, bro, like my dog Robiley like could get outside, and they had all jumped Rockwaller like I'm talking about eating at him, Like yeah, you feel me. The inside dog would get beat up by the outside dogs, yeah, Bro. And they were jealous, Bro. And one time I took my hand in that ship, Bro, Rockwaller bit me he

didn't bite them. He bit me and my shit started blushing good everywhere like that ship and headache, bro. And there was a lot of dogs. Bro. My stepdad's still keep up with them. I just have two tiny dogs. Yeah, I have a Pomeranian and a Frenchie. They're small, they're fucking you know, they're just they're they're I mean, they're gay.

I think when i'm I like the dogs of a gay man, Like my dogs aren't actually good too for the get to But my dogs aren't actually gay, but I feel like they're Like if I was, if someone saw me walking my two dogs, they'd probably be like yo, but likes he this is he playing on the other side. Yeah, I got a free little fucking Pomeranian fucking dog. Bro.

But see, like I think when I like because I'm like I said, I be on to go, bro, Like I got an apartment, but I don't I ain't get it to Like, really I need somewhere to take Would you ever live anywhere else but besides l A, Yeah, hell yeah, I really want to go to South mm hmm for sure, go to go to fucking or Houston. Houston's amazing great strip clubs and the action. Food is still good food out there. The food's amazing, and it's a great city. Good I mean bad abortion loss, good

gun lost. But I like when I get it together and give me a little get a house in Vegas, like I was gonna say, Vegas is due. You know what's so crazy though? A Z Mansions. I don't know a lot of states that's fucking with a Z Mansions or women. Listen, that's a whole nother story. That's like, I promise you I've never like been to a Z and not got no pussy Loki. Good for you. I'm sure you've probably fucked women I know out there. Have you ever been to Jaguars? Noah? Every time? I know.

But like that's what I'm saying. I don't be going places in chilling. I'll be on the door falling in the drip. I'd be like on tours something like and you feel me, or I gotta do a show out there and I'm there for a night and a half, like you feel me, that's it? Feel me? But like I said, I'm getting old the bro like, so I don't really you know a lot of people are getting cribs in Vegas because there's no state tax there. It's

cheap and you don't have to pay no taxes. In Cali, the state tax is pretty serious, man, bro Why it's so hot in fucking Palm Desert? It's hot. We just went to El Central two nights ago. It was you were in El Centro. Oh ship MC magic has an artist named Jay Rocks that he signed that's from El Centro. Shout out to her, nice lady. But yeah, El Central

it's like an air Force town, right. I don't know what you got, the fucking air Force base, but it's like, uh, it's on your way from if you were to drive from San Diego to Phoenix, you hit El Central by Mexicali, by MEXICALI. But like I said, like hot, I didn't have a look, I didn't even have a lot of like people there. Like it was a good show. But

it wasn't like sold out or nothing right. But to see the motherfuckers that's from El Central that liked me, it was like what the fuck, Like y'all don't have nobody out here to like, uh, like Central's in the middle of nowhere. It's like blythe blithe damn. You know what's crazy is when I was like really heavy into like selling drugs, blithe was I used to pick up working Blythe obviously marijuana, not talking about anything crazy, but like lithe is a little It's very like a population.

One of my high school teachers grew up in Blythe and she used to just tell us, like every time, I'm so happy to be here, because it's terrible. I see the same I stop at the same gas station to piss every time I'm driving to Phoenix, and the last two times I've pissed at this gas station. It's in the same parking lot as the Dennys. There's been a crackhead smoking crack in the bathroom and Blake. Imagine being a cracking and Blakes. That's probably be a hard

place to be a crackhead. Fucking degrees like a homeless crackhead and smoking crack. Like, if I'm gonna be a homeless crackhead, I'm just I'm getting to La somehow. I'm gonna go to Portland. If I was a homeless crackhead, I'm going to jail. Portland might be nice. I'm going to jail. Can you get crack in jail? Though? Figure it out. You're already doing crack.

I had a little cousin like that too, Like he would choose, like when we was growing up, he would choose like to like not going home and sleep in the alley. And I never got it. Nobody ever understood it. Imagine like in the middle of the pandemic, you could

go live on the beach in Venice. You go to Venice Beach and live rent free on the beach, and they won't fuck with you. Now they did clean it up, like in the last ninety days it's gotten cleaned up, but for like a year and a half Venice Beach, I don't know if you win during the pandemic. I don't even think I win. That's crazy, bro. It was fucked. Venice Beach was like skid row on the water. It

was wild. But imagine if you're a home Like, what's the homeless crackhead in blythe doing when you can go get free beach from property two hours up the fucking freeway. Man, Like, I'm going to Venice Beach to be homeless. Fuck blithe bruh cracks the same price and being homeless, bro, not for sure for sure, And fuck crack cracks not probably the crack is whack.
