#188 - Bino Rideaux

for the Pandemic show. Yeah, that's crazy because like it just this whole thing is flown by so fast, like to think it was two years ago that we were barely getting started with this bullshit. Like it's crazy to think COVID was even around that long, right, man, two years ago, And I just feel like the first sorry for the wait, that was like a you know what I'm saying, It really shook the ground up, you know what I'm saying for me in the city when I

dropped that project. It's a lot of classics, you know what I'm saying. And I toured that project, so I know how important it is, you know what I'm saying to the city. So it's only right I come back with a part two and you had like six tape two in between so you know, you kind of give gave people a nice, little, incredible body of work with Blast. Yeah, there's still some vibes out there, man, you know what I'm saying. I'm still president and everything, but as far

as just giving you like the full Pino experience. Spent a minute. You have Draco on the album, and me and Draco talked to extent about you guys potentially doing a whole album together when he was alive. He played me some stuff. Obviously, talk about your relationship with him. I know people have polarizing relationships with Draco. He either really fucked with you or he was just kind of you were either in or you were out. He was a real nice guy to me, but yeah, he really

fucked with you. So well, you know, talk about y'all's relationship and just you know, obviously losing him was a big loss for the city in general. I mean, you know, Draco no kind of from the same area. So it's like we linked up early, you know, just it was it was a mutual respect, and you know, I had a lot of I got a lot of love for bro. Just you know what I'm saying. Off of everything we

Didne did from way back. You know what I'm saying, He was kind of you know what I'm saying, he'd already had mister get though, he was already you know what I'm saying, Draco the ruler when he came and started fucking with me. So you know what I'm saying. I always appreciate that and recognize it for what it is. So our relationship was beyond the music. Like half the time we kicked it, we wouldn't even think about no

music shit, you know what I'm saying. But a lot of times it was in the studio and we ended up making crazy shit. If I told him just pull up he for schure gn throw a verse on some shit like it's nothing, you know what I'm saying. So we end up with so many songs, but it was just like a real real love and respect outside of the music there. Yeah, how did you pick this song for the album? Because obviously you guys have a ton of music that I don't know if we'll ever hear,

you know what I mean? It was I feel like one, I know how much bro like that song? You know what I'm saying. When we did the song, we did it a couple of songs that night I Cash Money eight Peace Studio, And you know what I'm saying, I wasn't even trying to put him on that song, Like that wasn't one of the ones I played him, Like, Bro, how on this? Yeah? He was more so and so man like I need to get on this. Yeah, So I'm like, for sure, bro, you know what I'm saying.

He spit the verse. It was crazy. So you know, that's really the last It's probably the last record we recorded together. So it was already like the idea was already there. You know what I'm saying, prior to the tragedy, you feel me. So I just wanted to follow through with it and get them, you know what I'm saying

unapologetically Draco? Yeah, what what when you have like music like that with someone like Draco, is it like is there a plan to put that ship out or do you just kind of like tell his team like hey, whatever y'all want to do? Like I'm like, you know what I mean, like because obviously it's more it's more so like it was it was playing prior to like I turned that record in so long ago, No, I already know Yeah, Yeah, I just mean in terms of

like you know you guys. Obviously he told me that he had planned on trying to do a whole project with you. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's on Camra too, No, for sure, Like I didn't, I didn't. I think I just said that in the interview too. It's just we never really sat down and like tried to track list nothing or tried to like write right. It was very infant in terms of just the process of doing that. It's just like, man, we got so much music. That's kind of how you know what I'm saying. Six tapes

started with me and Blast. It's like it was just like, man, we got six songs, just six tape you feel me? So yeah, Me and Draco just had so much music. So it's like, man, we got an album work for

show with six Tape two. I feel like there was some real like hit records on there, But I do feel like when you have two artists that have two labels, I always see those projects kind of fall through the cracks in terms of getting like the push to radio that they probably deserve, because I do feel like there were some records on there that could have went crazy at radio. But I feel like that there wasn't like the heaviest like button pressed on them? Is that, dude?

To just two entities trying to you know, like what happened like in that you know, I don't know. That's like that's something I can't even put a finger on, you know what I'm saying. I was just more so I feel it's like a great project, bro, and there's like some shit on that project. It's like, I mean, a nigga like me just gonna say they sleep you feel me or whatever. But if I don't know, that's a tough question, bro. Honestly, Yeah, would you guys do

another six tape? Possibly? I mean it is Uh, I feel like every every two or three years, I should just throw throw a little pack out, you know, I mean for the city maybe you know what I'm saying, for everybody you know on the same page and everybody at the time and everything. Uh, this project obviously it's

your first one in two years? Are you like you just told me off camera because we're talking about the only time I've interviewed you solo was on Zoom or ig Live or whatever the fuck that weird era of content. But you were like, Yo, my whole entire depth. Jam career has been on Zoom low Key, which is kind of like weird because you signed this major deal, it's a big look, and then the fucking world shuts down, so things are obviously you had like some cool activation

shit going on throughout the pandemic. But like in terms of like this album, it feels like the first one that you're kind of like finally outside no pun intended with what is the statement you're trying to make with this? And I we considering this an album ors just a mixtape or it's it's it's a tape, Okay, you know what I'm saying. It's a mixtape. Sorry for the way

it was the tape, So it's a tape. Really, It's just I mean, you know who let it care popular opinion is you know what I'm saying, aside for aside from very few, LA music ain't what it used to be, you know what I'm saying. Or it's just they saying we bunk over here, bro, you feel me? So who's saying this? Twitter? Let's say to the twitter sphere, let's say the Twitter fear. I'm not even gonna put a region on it, you know what I'm saying, but shit,

even LA is saying the ship. You know what I'm saying. It's just I'm not I'm just trying to get back to playing my you know what I'm saying. I feel like when I dropped Sorry for the way it was, it was a vibe, you know what I'm saying. It was a lot of dancing going on, it was a

lot of energy. It was in a dark time period, and you know, I hit them with like records like miss It and you know what I'm saying, shit like that, and I just want to get back to that, give them new records because like I said, I'm still I just toured two year old music. That shit's crazy. It's crazy, you know what I'm saying. So it's like I just want to see, you know what I'm saying. If I put some new energy out there, it's me, you know what I'm saying, how it's gonna feel. What do you think?

Because I do feel like LA music in general is probably more collaborative nowadays in terms of like you'll see like a lot of the younger artists going and supporting each other. Some guys aren't really wrapped up into politics, you know, So that's possible, But I do see the discussions where people will say, uh, LA music doesn't really support it outside of it LA or the West Coast,

you know what I'm saying. And I feel like you kind of bring that variable to the table where you're making music that doesn't sound so LA if that makes sense, Like I could hear your shit in Atlanta or you know what I mean. I think that's why. That's how

Roddy broke out. That's how Blast broke out. It's just like, do you feel like that that is a problem in terms of just like LA in general, just like you know, it's something can be big here, it could be big in Portland, it could be big in Phoenix, Vegas, whatever, But like it's like, how do you get past those I feel like those markets. I feel like we I mean to be simple, bro, Like we lost a key piece, you know what I'm saying for our foundation of course, Nip.

You know what I'm saying. So it's like our foundation isn't really solid right now if you ask me, you know what I'm saying, Like I feel like Roddy is holding it down for sure. You know what I'm saying now, Nip is a part of his foundation exactly like Roddy making it look good. It's a lot of people out here, I'm saying it's making it look good, But we just need a solid foundation leaders. Yeah we're missing that. You

know what I'm saying, nothing, It ain't really nothing, you know. Yeah, I know that's that's fair because if you think about like Nip's role like to a guy like yourself or to a guy like Roddy, like he very much was like a first of all, had the ear and the eye for talent, but also had like the the principles to like kind of instill and be like, hey, look, you know you got to move this way, you gotta

do this way. And yeah, that's real for people who don't know, like what was your original or like like how did you and Nipsey originally link up? Over the origins of y'all's relationship, because obviously, you know, it's been a couple of years, So how did you guys originally link up? He's the first guy that I saw really like standing next to in the industry when bleached Hairy facts. Yeah, nip I used always to you know Adam, like I see Adam run the marathon story, like bro, like what's up?

You know what I'm saying, like trying to tap in with Nip because Adam is somebody that tapped in early, and that's Adam. All money in for anybody that don't know. But you know what I'm saying, Adam just even knowing Adam, he know all the new music then to come out. Here'll tell you something like you tapping with this nigga and the nigga blow up like two weeks later. Like Adam always been that type of nigga, so he was tapped on me early. He'll just tell me like you

know the time, right, bro. You know what I'm saying, We're gonna put it together. I get to call off Casey Veggie's phone and it's nipped, so Nip like brother put up to the studio. So you know what I'm saying, Casey for making Casey veggies. I just saw Casey is south By Southwest. My guy got jacked. He's like he's like, you know, he ain't like Casey Veggies. He's like Casey, motherfucking vegetables. You know what I'm saying, mother fucker. Look

like he's on keto or something. I call him vegetables that's what. But uh, yeah, so I put straight up. You know there's no brainer NI pull up. I pulled up and uh that day we actually did the field. We youngd off. So you know what I'm saying, Like, looking back on that, it's crazy. It's like, damn, like a nigga pulled up linked with a nip and off in the same day. You feel me for the place time. So that's like a session that will be like one

hundred years from now. You can talk like people will watch this and be like damn yeah, like it fucked my head up, like it's just like wicked. But we make the feel we made another joint that day, and yeah, I just pulled up. Like after that, I just keep pulling up as long as cool. Now he if he hit me, you know what I'm saying, I'm sliding. Even

if I'm just chilling, I'm chilling. You feel me watching bro work being a part of his process, and we just developed a relationship outside the music, just because I was willing, you know what I'm saying, to put into work, hungry, Like I feel like he saw that in me and he believed in me. So was there was there ever any plans of you officially getting signed. You know, I always hear rumors that from other people, right, but it never actually kind of got brought to you. He was here,

not until he past. Like people like Nigga you talk about that shit, but he never mentioned it to me. What is the studio session with Dolph and Nipsey, Like are they giving each other ideas? Who's like, yo, I got this is who's doing the hook? Like? Like who? Like? Like what is the creative vibe? Because everyone who's a writer, who's a rapper, some people don't write shit down. Some people going to do punching line by line, Like what

is that whole? Because that is a moment in history that you were with Dolph and nip at the same time create music, Like what is that? Like, bro, who's taking the lead in the session? So nip Show, I didn't even know like what was happening at first. I just pulled up. We chopped it up for a second. He just went hopped in a booth. You feel me. I don't start laying his vocals, you know, bar for bar, So I'm like, okay, Like that's hard. I'm thinking it's

just the washbrow do his thing or something. You come out like you got something for this. I'm like, hell yeah, so I'll go in and I lay a hook. So they're like, oh okay. But the whole time, you know what I'm saying, I was I'm ain't gonna lie. I was pulling up, bro, So you know what I'm saying, I'm getting faded. You know what I'm saying. By that time, we like two records, and we did two records. Young Dolf pulled up later okay, okay, so like later that night.

So I just remember waking up like so you was he was in a lean coma and you woke up and Dolph was there like hey, hey, you know this doff right here. And I'm like, oh, it's still like you like, ok it's crazy, like you feel me. So the dogs just vibingto the record. He going started laying his vocals bar for boar, and it was just you

know what I'm saying, that was that it was. It was It was crazy because you know Nip, he got the studio all blue, his blue lights everywhere at all times, So you know what I'm saying, It was just like the vibe, the energy was crazy. Is Nip the kind of guy who would lay his vocals down line by line or like without writing sh it down. I feel like it depends how you felt, you know what I'm saying. Some ship he was you know, he was always intentional

with some ship. I see him writing some ship down there, you know, really kind of taking his time or a different approach to it at least. What about you, like, obviously you have a lot of melody, So were you going in like put the melody down first, film the lyrics later, Like what's your process? I kind of just jump in the booth, Uh, just play around with the melody a little bit and just start feeling in the words, honestly, bro a pattern I fuck with and then I just

go with it. Just popping my ship for Did you have a very like to me a unique sound and just music in terms of your pitch, your tone? Like what are your like? Can you point to any influences that you kind of take from in terms of like shit you were growing up listening to? Or man, I really fuck with uh, I guess as far as my sound goes, you do not really fuck with with with future, you know what I'm saying. I think Pluto is crazy. I think, uh, you know what I'm saying, Slan got

a lot of influence on me. You know what I'm saying, I approach making a record. Uh, I used to lock in with Johnny Sinko a lot, know what I'm saying. He really was like you know, coach like he kind of you know what I'm saying, gave me, you know a lot of the game as far as you know what I'm saying, the recording process and how to keep up. You know what I'm saying, And stay here, so shout out shout outs to John Poppy for shure and Yeah,

I mean I listened to everything, bro. If we sit here and talk to all, like I listened to afrobeat, you know what I'm saying. I listened to old school, I turned some Foozies, some some some uh Lucy Pearls. You know what I'm saying, like all type of ship. Bro, really listen to everything. But yeah, I really fuck with with with Slan. Were you ever able to get in with a guy like Thug or yeah, me and Thug we got a few records, but we got went out.

His specific situation is kind of like shining a light on people havn't possibly having, like lyricshus against them, which hopefully get shot down because I think it's stupid as fuck. I think New York they just passed the law where you can't do that anymore. But obviously what's going on

with him is in Georgia. But when you see that kind of shit happening, does it make you any sort of more hesitant to, you know, spit some entertaining fiction on records because it might be interpreted the wrong way. I can see how it make. You. Know what I'm saying, people are uncomfortable, but you feel me. I ain't. I'm cooling. You know what I'm saying out the way? Bro? You know what I'm saying. You know what I think is to start happening. And I think this is like, if

this really becomes a thing. I'm not sure it's gonna become a thing, but if, like they really start pressing the line on rap lyrics at the beginning of everyone's albums, there needs to be a fucking disclaimer. Imagine if when you press play on an album, the first the intro is just this is uh, these are tales of fiction, no different than a movie. When you press play, none of this is factual. I mean it's really the same shit. Bro,

you know what I'm saying. Ain't not gonna go start locking up Marine's tape because he was exactly it's the same. It's literally the same shit. And you and I know most of these guys, most of them are just it's it's not real, which is okay because if the music is good, who gives a fuck. I don't expect the rock to be fucking Hobbs and Shaw jumping out of cars and shit like I'm watching the movie. It's great,

the fucking music is great. I don't give a fuck like most you know, obviously, I'm old enough and been in this shit long enough to know them. Like most people are just normal dudes, you know what I mean, who probably had like who was around some shit or maybe if they were involved in some shit, it was very minimal, you know what I mean. But yeah, it is very much like yo, how can you prosecute somebody

based on entertainment? Like these are song lyrics? Like what like Like when Wesley Snipes got hit for tax evasion, they didn't use like some of his like they didn't say you also murdered a bunch of people and Blade twelve then players that sh it has burnt. Bro' It's crazy man. It's unfortunate you obviously you do have Roddy's on the on the album. You guys put the single out? What is uh? You know, I just had Roddy on the show last week and he seems to be like

out of his funk, you know. I know he told head that, uh, his energy wasn't right on on the last project. But like, what's what's your relationship like with Roddy? Obviously both of you guys are very much you know, products of Nipsy in terms of just like him putting his arm around y'all officially, you know what I mean? So like like what what what? What's your relationship with

someone like Roddy? Man, I'm just you know, proud to see how far Bro come, you know what I'm saying, Like that's somebody I can hit and I know I'm gonna get some genuine back. You know what I'm saying, Just want of regular Like no, it's he carrying and ship, bro. You know what I'm saying. I feel like, you know what I'm saying. With that album, it was a lot of a lot of criticism, you know what I'm saying I was tuned in but it's big three shit like

going stupid. Yeah that real talk shit is hard, just speak three shit going stupid. So I'm just I'm happy for Bro. You feel me. I'm proud to see him doing his thing and he know that you feel me.

Odd socksoficial dot com bootleg keV is the promo code save twenty percent off. Right now,

let's get back to the interview. Yeah, do you feel like you ever get into the situation because I'm assuming

you record a lot. Do you have a tons of music you probably gotta just just do you ever feel like you get to a point where it's it gets hard to like pick records for your album, And do you also maybe have a song that maybe you recorded a year and a half ago, that you've been listening to for a year and a half straight that at the time you're like, this is a fucking hit, But now that we got to pick for the album, it's

old to you, So that shit gets left off. Like is that like a battle you have is like someone who records that like at a high output? Hell yeah, bro, Like it's like I'll be tired of the whole I literally gotta not listen to it like a few months before because once you do the new ship. You're like, man, that'

shit's old, Like this new ship's better. S already owes to me, Like this ship drop tonight, this ship already owes me, you know what I'm saying, Like it's already like but like I get the new burst of energy when I get to see the reactions and you know what I'm saying, get to perform the songs and ship like that. But it's like, yeah, I'm already on the whole new wave, on a whole new sound. Keep it the honey, Like I'm already on the album. You know what I'm saying. I'm trying to put the album out

by the end of the year. So that's not I mean going to for two for the year. Yeah, I'm trying to blieve them and I ain't even know what I'm trying to do. It's a little you know what I'm saying, a little ship here and there. But I'm for trying to give them the album before the year for sure. So what is the is there? Like, is the approach different with the album? Definitely? I feel like because I never dropped the album, right, You've only done

tapes outside was a mixtape. You made it very clear like I'm I'm trying to look I look back at everybody day album and it's just, you know what I'm saying, crazy, you feel me like reasonable doubt, you feel Doggie style, get Richard. I trying please excuse me for being anti social. We can go I mean my crazy life, We can go on and on. I just want to make sure. I want to be certain, you know what I'm saying, in a good head space to where I can completely

focus on building a great body of work. You want it to be a classic, Yeah, And I feel like I'm in that moment now where I can take that approach. Yeah. Always tell everybody that first album is it's gotta be you gotta the bars is up here. That's why I thought it was so hard that, like, if you really

think about it, Victory Lap is Nipsy's only album. Now, he had mixtapes, bodies of work, but Victory Lap was so intentional, so well thought out, so planned, so perfectly executed because he knew that that legacy of your first album has got to be it's got to be up on the wall with Good Kid, Mad City and fifty and all that shit. The same ship. Bro. You know what I'm saying. So it's like I pay attention to ship like that, and I try to you know what I'm saying, Just come as correct as I can. For

what were your thoughts? Did you enjoy the Kendrick album? Yeah? You know what I'm saying. I feel like I appreciate it. Bro. You know what I'm saying. It's it's like it's like an art piece for me. You know what I'm saying. It's I feel like Niggas is looking at to just slide around and turn up all the time. You feel me and you got that in there too. You got the rich spirit is crazy tracte that's my ship is crazy to me. But I feel like the rest of

the music, it's a lot of enlightenment. You know what I'm saying. It's like it's it's it's a vibe. It's kind of like m hmm. It's like a learning experience. It's like music to like live too. You know, if I'm getting on a flight, I'll run that through, you know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. Like, but I feel like getting in the car with the hummies, you feel me. They trying to you know, they don't drill time, so they they're trying to put on a

fucking futures new album. Yeah, but it's like, yeah, that ship at the house. You know what I'm saying, just chilenges, you know what I'm saying, really trying to soak up what are you talking about so I can kind of you know, just trying to pick his brain. Really, but y'all, fuck with the album we talked about earlier, you and Draco talking about doing a joint project. You and Blast have a joint project. If there's another artist out there that you could do a joint project with, or maybe

you might be working on one with. I don't know who would that be, Slan Doug. That would be crazy. It should we go d I hope he gets out, man. Yeah, it's rough. It is rough, you know, not to get dive too much into this thing. But the best part about the silver lining is that it was the Georgia State Police reco. It wasn't a federal reco at least not yet, so it wasn't like it was the fucking

FBI the Georgia. It was a Georgia rico. So you know, and I can only assume that Georgia don't have their ship together all the time because it is a fucking incompetent state. So and I just I just know that's a good dude, you know what I'm saying. I mean, we're talking about it. Nigga hit meet Man every other day. I love you, bro, good you feeling are you feeling like just off GP? Like he just I just know slang from being like as solid as they come me,

So I hate to see him in that situation for sure. Yeah. We just had Snapdog on the show and he said that he was like hanging out with with Doug for like a year straight and he was like he noticed Doug noticed he always would have these glasses on and

because his vision is fucked up. And he said that Doug just randomly hit him and said, hey, you got an appointment at the doctor tomorrow to go get your eyes done, and he paid for it without them Like that Shit's crazy, Like, no, who's doing that, you know what I mean? And like Snapdog's I signed to yse l like he's just someone who was around you know. It's like like not a lot of people are that generous or thoughtful, especially in the music industry. Most of

these fools as fake as fuck. They'll let you hang out because there's something that's beneficial to them when you're hanging around. Second that ship goes away. But it's funny. I said that shit in an interview. I said, one of the most solid niggas is the most solid nigga next to Nick that I met. This ship was long. Wow. That says a lot, man, because he's just a real nigga bro like so one hundred and it's like, it's like, I feel like family. He treats you like your family.

If you funk with you, fuck with you all the way. What is your favorite song on this album or mixed tape? Will call It's it's hard to choose, really off if you ever you got Kaitlin on there, you got obviously Roddy Draco, I mean you got some yeah my bro cool cord on. You know what I'm saying, That's how I feel like, I don't know. I hate I hate saying like next up and like that he's next up. He finished, takes some ship up. Is he like your artist?

Some artists independent? You know what I'm saying, making the lame for hisself from out here. Yeah, dope, Yeah, come doing this ship for sure for show. Yeah, I saw his name. I was like, I don't know who that is. I gotta check him out me if he's on the project. We got a few joints we gotta. We got a joint called what it Is and we got one uh on this recent project. It's crazy. We performed it on the last tour. Kaitlin's dope too. Man, he's a good guy, Kaitlyn.

That's twin. Also, people don't really like Kalyn's one of the smartest dudes that I like sat down with. I'm like this, people don't realize this guy is like a college athlete, like went to fucking SD you know what I mean. Like he's a he's a very he's got his head on straight. He's very he's also very intentional. Yeah, he's like very cerebral. Dude, canuck your head up. You know what I'm saying, Say some ship to your head. He's a beast too, super beast. Yeah. I love Kalen.

You guys should do a project together, Lok. Yeah, that should be crazy. That'd be crazy. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. We we damn thear did. Like in the night we made like seven Songs in the Night, and I think all that shit leaked. I think, like, where does it leak anymore YouTube? Because back in the day it used to leak like I go downloaded off LimeWire or fucking like uh what what? The torrent sites were like a message board. And now like when someone's like get leaked,

I'm like, yeah, but like where do I fucking YouTube? Bro? Yeah, you search your name? Hell is shit? You know what's crazy is like back in the day, there was like an era where you could always get the albums a week before, no matter what because of CDs, because the CD had to go like think about it, everyone would turn in their album because the CDs had to get printed, you know, weeks before. So it was always somebody in the middle of that, like supply chain who would leak

the album. So no matter what, no matter who the fuck you were, you could go get the fucking album early. And then a guy like me being sixteen seventeen years old would burn like one hundred copies and taken to the swat And that's how my name is. Butuleg hey you swe that was my hustle Man mixtapes. Bro, I tell game this all the time. I'm like, bro, I had a fucking newborn baby and I sold I don't know, a thousand copies of the documentary like a month before

they dropped me. I'm like, thank you for helping feed my kids. You set them to the swap meet, Like, no, I pull up to the swap meet and I would have like a stage. I'd have a table with all the mixtapes, all the Junet radios, the Southern Smokes, whatever new albums that I would have. You really used the blue leg man for sure. That's hard. I was getting to the check. Every time I see drama, I think him.

I'm like, bro, the gangster girl shit did well for me? Bro, that's hardest foot Yeah, No, I like seventeen to like nineteen. That's like how I supported my kid. I was working at the radio station for free. These motherfuckers aren't pay me on the weekends. I was just going and pirting everyone shit and movies too. Obviously movies had to pirate those.

But it's like, how, like he's so crazy, how Vidal like well for me at least thinking back like my life, Like how farut of the bootleg man he is to the coaching Bro, I used to pull up the card. I'd be like, what y'all need? I got the new matrix. I mean it's motherfucker standing up in the middle of it. But niggas be like, what the new major? That ship don't come off God, Like damn the bootleg Man. When you watch the movie, you'd be like you get it

and like, Yo, what's the quality. I'd be like it's good enough. I had I remember you remember the movie Rise? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had a bootleg man. He used to be at the fish spot. This nigga he's like, y'all got rids too. I mean young nigga Ris already came out past crumping. Was still like the ship like got Rise. To me and my cousin, like what we grab that ship. It's literally this nigga going around alley ways and ship like just filming. Niggas. I remember this one little nigga like

I'm a little trouble got off. But I know the bootleg man voice because the nigga laughing all the movie. He made it. Yeah, like he made like he went around filming a little shout out to him. Man. YouTube

before YouTube, if I have a crazy YouTube channel. Back then, it was like a game changer because I was bootlegging shit in like three oh four, oh five, oh six, and then when like the screeners would leak, it'd be the game changer because really you were just hoping that someone went in there with a real high quality fucking camp quarter and had a good seat right in the middle. You would deal with you would deal with people laughing, you know, because you'd be like, yo, if it's a comedy,

you know you're gonna hear the crowd laughing. Oh god, I's welcome boy. And then when the screener started leaking, it was like, oh, and then I started selling the fake NFL jerseys before those went rampant, because now you go to any foe backs and shit, just anything current jerseys iking for twenty dollars and something for like one hundred and fifty. Yeah. Yeah. But then I Customs started to be on my head. I had like a bunch

of packages intercepted from customs and so like. But now you go to an NFL game, everyone's got fake jerseys on. All those fucking jerseys on eBay, y'all are buying for thirty five dollars. They're not real. I want the old schools. I'm trying to get the old school d's. Remember when it Laker Jersey. He was shiny, yep, yep, sparkle a little bit them. Are you a football fan? Are you a Rams fan? Shout out the Rams? You know ive they fuck the Rams. But I've been a chief fan

all my life. God bless you. Thanks for having original thoughts around here in Los Angeles and not switching up like y G. Did you know what I mean? Hey man, Yeah, I've been a Chiefs fan. Broay's like Priest Holmes, Damn, Priest Holmes is a beast, great fantasy football quarter running back man. So who was the quarterback back? Then? They had Trent Green because he was the guy who was on the Rams, and then Kurt Warner came through and fucking got him up out of there. Yeah, Trent Green, yup,

shout out to the Chiefs. That's what made you a Chiefs fan. My step Pops was a Chiefs fan, so you know this. Every Sunday he was watching the Chiefs. So if the Chiefs play the Rams in the Super Bowl, you're fucking with them Chiefs right in the Chiefs Jersey. All right. I just want to make sure because you

know what's gonna happen on the Rams sideline. The Rams are gonna try to get you up there and hang out on the DJ budes with the homie, and then they're gonna give you a jersey with your name on it, and you got to have the fucking I got it already. I got to Jersey. I've been to the stadium before it opened, though, because I saw Jason Cash up there and he had a Rams jersey, and I was like, ain't you a Raiders fan? Man? I said, but you know it's funny. The Clippers wanted me to come to

that to do something else. I said, I couldn't do it. I couldn't both, and then shout out to the Clippers, no disrespect. I couldn't do it. I couldn't just bring myself to You're a Laker fan. The Clipper hate in LA. I didn't realize how serious it was until I moved here in the beginning of twenty seventeen, and my whole life I've been I'm a Suns fan, so I hate the Lakers now I have to. My favorite player of

all time is Lebron. So when Lebron came to the Lakers, I had a real, a real the Suns were trash. I've been rooting for the Calves and the Heat Wherever he's that, I've been rooting for. So when he came to the Lakers, I set aside my hate and I said, I'm rooting for Lebron because all the players that I didn't like on the Lakers aren't there no more. You know what I'm saying. But I always said when I moved to l A, I was like, I told I

told uh, I told Doc Winter. I was like, yea, I'm gonna just be a Clippers fan on that on the air, even tho I'm a Sun's fan, but you know, I'm on the radio in l A. So they want me to you know, war Dodgers had some ship. Ya, I'll just I'll just be the I'll be the Clipper guy on the radio. But then I came out here and I was like, man, fuck the Clippers, Yo, I feel like I feel it, like Bro fuck them. And

then kawhi did my guy, Lebron dirty as fuck? Bro had the Lakers hanging out to the end of free agency, thinking he was going to join the fucking Lakers, and then signed with the Clippers like a bitch. You remember when that happened, and then they had to sign all these guys off the scrap heap. They got Rondo. I mean they got a ring though, so that's all that matters. But Kawhi did fucking Lebron, dirty fuck Kawhi. I hope and fucking PG he's from fucking Palmdale or wherever the fuck.

That's not even la. I know that it was Kyrie Man, Kyrie to the Lakers. Well, there is some breaking news. Kevin Durant just requested a trade from the Nets. So if you're the Nets, you kind of you probably should try to get something from Kyrie. Blow the whole thing up, because I don't know if Kyrie and Ben Simmons is getting you much more than a nine seed, you know what I mean. The problem is, is your guy Wes or Russ who's from the city. I'm sure you've got

a relationship with what Russey? Yeah, good guy, I'm sure just opted in. He's making forty seven million dollars. Let me ask you a question. You're a Laker fan, Russell Westbrook is your friend, your actual friend? How do you feel what's going on? I feel like We're gonna get a chip this year. You don't even believe that? Do You're a liar? I'm dead as bro. I feel like I feel like you know what I'm saying. It's tryal and air and lots of era. I hate Rush, Like

did you say you hate him? Or I just tapped in like the middle of the season, Bro, I'm how you doing? Like like you're good, bro, Like just on some regular ships. We talk about regular ship. He like, yeah, man, just trying to get this Lakers shipland you know what I'm saying, trying to you know, work it out. So I know Russ and he's a beast, you know what I'm saying. So I know he gonna lock in and figure it out. I know he was basing a lot of hate, a lot of criticism, you know what I'm saying.

But I know I know they gonna figure it out and bring it home this year. Do you think you, being his actual friend, you would be able to convince him to be the sixth man? I could see. I want to. I want him, I want him to wake up that he's one of the highest usage rate players of all time, so like he needs the ball in his hands. So it would make sense for him to come off and just run that second unit for the betterment of the Lakers. I don't know, man, We'll see

if Darviingham can be the rust the rust whistler. I want him, Kyrie and Bron on the floor at the same time. I hate to see it, man, because I love Lebron. Last year and listen, I hate the Lakers. You got to understand, the Suns have been good finally, but I just I'm like, bro, it just we we eliminated all the year before, you know what I mean, which felt great, but h that was sick. But it was just like it's just I'm like, bro, Lebron belongs in this fucking in the in the fucking playoffs. Yeah,

it's weird without him. Like, I'm not gonna say it was boring. I'm not gonna say he's it wasn't boring, but it was just kind of like even a celebration, bro, Like when go to State one, I want to kind of want him to turn up like more. You know what I'm saying. They didn't feel to say, just feel like, I don't know, bro, I hate the Warriors. It's my least favorite team of all time boy. Just to me,

they're the first of all. Shout out to KD. We won't even speak on that era because he might be on the Sun soon, so I don't need to use this video as a reference point of a time in which I was not fond of Katie going to the Warriors and ruining the league for three years. I mean, I'm a Lebron guy, so I'm fucking watching these motherfuckers go back and forth in the finals for four or five years straight, and I think that they have the most bandwagon fans and like it's it's kind of like,

are you a wrestling fan? So you know how John Cena is like the team all the little fucking kids like, but he's a cornball. The Warriors are like the John Cena of the NBA. It's like, all my fucking eight year old loves him because Steph Curry, I see what you're saying. It's like, yeah, of course you like the fuck It's easy to love the Warriors. You know who? I like them? Who? Jordan Poole, Yeah, Jordan Pool's nice.

I like Pool. I just want to I want them to give him some burn, Like I feel like, hope they get him up out of there. I hope they can't afford to resign them the Lake Show. But then motherfuckers don't care about the luxury tax in the San Francisco. They're so rich. They're like, yeah, we'll pay two hundred fifty million dollars at the luxury tax for resigning everybody. Okay, yeah, I don't know the Lakers. Hey, Man, we'll see, but you should talk to your boy Russ convince him to

be the sixth Man of the Year. Man had that convo. Would you be sad if he got traded? I would You'd be sad as a friend or as a fan, as both, just because you feel me like it's one. It is cool, happened to homie here at the house. You feel me, But it's cooler to win. Yeah, but I feel like you can do. I feel like he's

more than capable. I hope you're right. Yeah, we don't see Man a freak vogl ain't having together last year and wait, man, I just can't wait to have the jersey on bring him out at the next show after he went stupid. And it's like, you know what I'm saying, because you know last time I brought him out, I remember seeing that walk I saw, Yeah, you had Russell

Westbrook crip walker stage in LA. But everybody was just eating me up, like you know what I'm saying all season like man saying like man, it's your your forts, your for like the type of bullshit. Now, I can't wait to we we and the chip. You know what I'm saying. We had to pray turning up. You know what I'm saying. I got through his jersey. I appreciate

your level of commitment to the to to to. Uh. I don't know whatever we're calling this because you've got damn no, well, you would not go to the championship. Russell Westbrook is start of the Lakers. You are not. You need a D to go through some hyperbaric chamber come out a whole new man. He ain't put up a shot at money. That's what I'm saying. This motherfucker is the glass man. It's crazy. He liked uh uh kareem.

He's like something. Every time I've been just like every time he's out there, he ends up on the floor grabbing his fucking leg and I'm like, not again, man, but you got you got a ring with a D and Lebron it's all that matters. Because I always hear people talking like damn, like they gave up all those young pieces that are out thriving in the NBA right now for a d But I'm like, you got a ring out of it, so that's why you did it. If at the very least there's no more rings with Lebron,

it's like you got one. You brought them here. They bring y'all back to the champ. That it happened. Fortunately it was in the bubble. You know, we like Laker, Like Laker fans, we ain't used to losing Bro. I know y'all spoiled Bro having Kobe and Shack for a decade. All we know is w so we know something finished. Shade. Man, Do you watch hockey at all, like the LA Kings or anything? Watch it, but like I'm not mad at it. I fuck with it. It's a bullshit sport. Nobody watched that.

I like the fighting and you go to the game though it looks like you know, I went to an LA Kings game and I probably saw more porn stars at that game than I seen in the more place in my life. Everywhere I turned around, Bro was a LA Kings playoff game. It was porn bitches everywhere, like ones that I recognized, which says a lot about me too, obviously. If I'm recognizing that many, that's probably gonna be coughing and busy. What about the Have you been to an

l a f C game? Nah? But I want to Actually, I actually fucked with soccer. Those games are crazy, ye knows crazy. The fans are fucking crazy. Will Ferrell owns the team. Yeah, Will Farrell part owner of the l a f C. Fucking anchorman Ron Burgundy man out there in the stands losing his ship. That's crazy? Was he Dale? That's Dale right, He's one of them. Yeah, I think that's Dale right. I don't know Dale John c Riley And that's a great movie, that's hold. Yeah, soccer. Soccer

players be famous as a motherfucker, the most famous. We're in like this small we don't even understand the rest of the world here because you look up these like Ronaldo and all these motherfuckers on i G. They got like one hundred and twenty eight million followers, while Lebron's got like sixty exactly. It's like this soccer shit is a whole different ballgame. Like I mean obviously literally, but you know the fame because it's worldwide. Bro, It's like

reggaeton type shit. It's like, you don't even realize how big Bad Bunny is. When people like Bad Bunny is the biggest artists in the world, we'd be like, no, it's Drake obviously, Like no, it's fucking Bad Bunny out of here. That shit is crazy, and it's like the like just on the whole culture behind it, like the I don't know the breakdown between the leagues, but like uh, like yeah, that's the one thing about songer that confuses me because there's there's like all these there's like the

euro League. There's just so many different There's like the Mexican teams that my homies fuck with, so I don't understand who who. It'd be like if there was like fifteen nfls all over the world, and you'd be like, shit, I got a few teams that I like, though, I just don't know what league day and I fuck with Manchester United, fuck with Chelsea City, fuck with uh the Brazil team. I used to play Brazil on FIFA because I always heard that I just I would just pick Brazil.

I think they got nay More and Messi they got Messy. I think Messi is Are we talking about the country of Brazil. I don't know. I think Messi's from Argentina, argent Did I just say that country wrong? Is it Argentina? I just said Argentina, Argentina. It's a movie called Green Street Hooligans. You ever seen it? I've heard of it. I've seen like the post ride, I haven't watched it hit. It's about like the firms and shit like outside. Like, I guess every team got a firm, so what the

game going on? Like the firms they link up at their local pub, singing their songs and shit with their beer and literally just link up with the firm with the other team and have a big ass brawl every game. Well do you know, like, did you see the video? First of all, soccer fans are the most psychopathic human beings live. That's crazy soccer games in general, not unless it's it's here. I'm not pulling up. Listen, bro, did you see this shit that happened in Mexico a few

months ago? They had this fight where like fucking eighty people died. See that's what I'm saying, Bro, did you all see? It was the most fucked up ship? Bro? The video is like I obviously looked all the video up because I'm terrible, But there's like just if you were a part of the other teams, like like if you had the other team's shirt on, they were literally beating you to death, stripping you naked and dragging you. It was fucking crazy, bro. Serious, that's pretty much what

the movie was about. You gotta watch that ship. It's a violent, fucking it's some real gang ship. That's why they make such a big deal when these big players change teams, because it's like, I imagine if someone fucking flip flop gangs, you know what I'm saying. No, it's wild. Yeah, they could keep all all those fucking dusty ass Irish and English motherfuckers get ship faced at the pub and then go beat the ship out of each other. I'm okay, if I go to one of those games, I'm gonna

be a fucking VIP box. I don't want to be amongst the fucking the common folks at one of them joints over there. I'm trying to come out with the team. Are you going? Are you would you go out there?
