Congratulations on the new project.

Appreciate you. Color colored is the name of the project. This is like kicking off the whole new waves, the whole new like, you know, branch of your career. Thanks. Explain to me the thought process of I mean, audio pushes always gonna be audio push, but the facts but having to do like like what what inspired you to go solo for a project? Or is there I mean, are you are you in an octane I know you guys are still cool, but like, are you guys still

technically audio push? Right? Yeah? Most definitely, Like we will always be audio push you know what I mean. That's my brother his niggas was twelve right right right, But we've also been audio pushed non stop for ten plus years, since I was seventeen, you know, yeah or something around there, like actually longer than that to be real shit, before we got popping. We got signed at that time. But I'm just saying that to say it's been in a long time coming since we've like told our own story.

You know, we've been at it since we first were walking up on you in Arizona. Vegas was when I first mate you, right facts, oh lord Vegas dog, since niggas was popping, Yeah in the bag, Jaman, you feel me. But even since then, you know, we've always had to just like fuse our story in a sense, and that shit just you know, there's only so much you can do with that. Like we order got two sons. You want to do you want to tell your story full on, unfiltered,

un you know raw yeh know what I'm saying. We got as much as me and my brother are just alike in so many ways, we also aren't a like right right right fully different views and a lot of different things, you know, And I feel like in the music and just this is the chance for me to like fully express it. But yeah, for sure, so like you said, you have, uh, I feel like you always have kind of been like the more outspoken, like out

of you and your out of you and octane. Like I feel like you're I know where you stand on a lot of things. You're very opinionated. Yeah, So when I saw you announce this, I was like, oh, that's dope, Like I really want to hear what this should sounds like. And it came out really I hit you like the album dope body of work it. I know, it's very tough, like to deliver like that when there's like people people might be like, ah, you know, like exactly, it's very

tough to deliver and over exceed the expectations. Because I was like, yeah, I'm tell me check it out. But I listened to it, I was like, oh, this ship is nice. It's definitely especially with all the like this out right now, like with all the you know, all the music like that, you feel it was like it was a conscious, intentional decision that I made, like, you know, one, just making this my direction, my sound, you know what

I mean in my message. But and then even with just this being the first project, like because I gotta I got another album dropping in January. You're staying independent right for sure? Completely. Most definitely, that's a part of everything we're doing. That's a part of color, that's part of the message. But yeah, like to put colored out knowing that this was just like I'm gonna just jab y'all, like let me just you know, not get up. You feel me, Like, now I'm gonna put you down Like

that's that. That was the intentional thing. You know, I knew color like songs like Mufassa and things like, you know, they weren't gonna be easy to digest, but the people that were able to digest it were going to be fair. Yeah, I was gonna ask you, like give me the breakdown on the name colored. And you know, obviously we know that it's an old way that old people would refer to black people. You know what I'm saying. It's almost

like calling Asian people oriental. It's like a very dated, like borderline racist thing to say it, you know what I'm saying. But but what what what is the you know, the way it's spelled kind of breakdown the meaning of that? Yeah, So it was just you know, when before quarantine even happened, like actually, at like the beginning of this year, I just new like going into this year, Octane was actually making solo music for he was the first one to

start making solo music. I remember Octaves do all kinds of shit. He was like a photographer. Yeah, she was dropping videos before, so yeah, I didn't even know that. Yeah, back in the g he was like dropping you know,

he drops a couple of solo videos and stuff. But saying that to say, like, coming into the year, I knew that I was like going to take these steps, and I knew that everything I was going to stand for, the brand I was going to build was just had to be black at fuck, right, you know what I mean, without it being black as fuck, you know, just being

all like just extra in two in your face. Just for me, I feel like the same way, not the same way, but how like nigga, you know, it's just a part of like the average you know, color melanoids

vernacular that lives in the United States. Like to me, I wanted to make the word color be used in a better light, like not that niggas used in a better light, but it's just used more freely, freely than what it was like the way it was created, you know, And so I feel like colored of all things because it's actual beauty in being colored, Like that's not a bad like nigger is some bullshit you like created or like a word you just you know whatever. But being colored,

I actually get charged from the sun. This is actually a superpower I have. It's not a bad thing. I wind being colored, you know what I mean, it's not even like that's just not a science. We're not even talking like opinion. So that was something that just like I was like, you know what I'm about to I'm a finished uff. And just the clr D was just you know it, it was God man, the branding like all that shit, it was just like coming to me.

I wasn't even asking for it. Once I just got in harmony and like got on the path, it literally just start falling. I just wasn't. I was just trusting my god feeling, you know, no good feelings, godfeeling. Yeah, I mean, And you've been through the entire industry gauntlet a couple of times, because there's the first, the first go round where you guys, you know, were doing the young boys shit exactly, And were you guys who were you guys signed to initially? We did two Yeah, you

guys did two different Interscope runs. I still have a I still have a black and white eight by twelve autograph photo of you and from like twenty ten with fucking the Box somewhere right Shout out to fucking all the people who ate off of that first deal. Shout

out to y'all. Yeah, but it's just crazy because you've, like you said to two runs through Interscope right under obviously much different circumstances, and you know, some like like some people don't got it in them to keep going with this ship because because you guys could have taken that last go round with with the HS eighty seven wave and even like, but you guys, you know much to the Good Vibe Tribe project, Like you guys still

were putting out credible music. But I feel like when you're like put out so much shit like and and like you guys obviously have had some mild commercial success, but never really like blue exactly. Like I feel like once Coming as you Are came out, I thought it was over. Yeah, I was like, oh, this shit is this is undeniable, Like the Shine video is so crazy, but talk about that, like, like, did you ever flirt with the idea of moving on for music at all,

never like fully moving on. It was just like that's how I got into business stuff, right in entrepreneurship, like because I will never like move on for music because I've been doing music since I was eight years old, so before I was making money off of music. I love making music. So that's something like I'm always do. I just had to take away the pressure of making money from this. I'm not stupid, you know what I mean,

I'm a hustler. So the moment I had to really realize, like, Okay, the reason why this shit stresses me the fuck out is because we have millions of views, thousands of thousands of thousands of fans, right, but we're not rich, Like we're not like comfortable, we're not living like we should be. I don't fuck my money off. I'm not addicted to no crazy like smoke weed. You know, I'm not like an idiot, So why fuck aren't we up? Why ain't it going crazy? Other than people fucking us? And deal?

I was gonna say, do you think that's what it was? You guys had sty deals one hundred percent? I mean yeah, both, I mean our first deal we got, our first deal was like almost eight hundred thousand, and me and our team split fifteen racks. We took fifteen racks back to the seventy five hundred back to the wait wait, wait, wait wait. So that it was eight hundred thousand OAR deal, eight hundred thousand dollars day and you signed to a

production company. We didn't know the game, didn't know no better. A production company. They they they got to touch the money first, obviously. So whatever the initial real evans was, whatever, that two three hundred thousand, four hundred, whatever the fuck was negotiated, they didn't even know. Cleaned up and we got fifteen racks to split and took seventy five hundred to for me ship. I thought, nigga, we was good

and we was up. It's my cousin, I nigga down and pissing the bed with this nigga And like said, seventy five hundred, I took that to the ship. We thought it was right. Shop moms, a couple of bads, you nigga went and bought all type of shiit nigga. But when you were in shows exactly you guys are doing show, We were doing shows. You got to fucking game, bro. These kids now Like back then, I feel like y'all

were doing like a lot of eighteen and up party. No, not even that don't even matter, bro, the shows we were doing. Niggas was doing thousands like shows with thousands of people like and that, and Lowe we were doing an eight hundred capacity fucking show with kids and some wild shit like that. We was doing fucking big shows

every other like twice a week and whatnot. Making long story short, one, the internet wasn't like it is now, Like I was like MySpace, you know, And so how was it that the social thing was not even a thing for real? So like the aspect of fully becoming like these megastars like like a trippy red can now was but fuck being a megastar. The money these niggas do fucking ten shows, these niggas is millionaires now like back then, it wasn't that, And it was just a

different game. We didn't know no better. The the appreciation for black music and rap wasn't where was that We were still competing with you you know. Back I was gonna say, back then, when y'all were like bubbling a first, it was like hit bulling Lady guy got all that fucking that was it was. It was one of the dark ages of music. Black Eyed Peas were these black ass We was getting compared to Black Eyed Peer making bullshit.

You know they are somebody. It's a big record, Like I got a feeling, but I was bro because I lived in Vegas at that time, right, And that's when and everything in Vegas changed where every time you go to the club you wouldn't hear rapped. It was all about the fist pump one hundred and twenty eight bpms. And then Neo started making whack ass Ship. All these R and B motherfuckers started making Chris Brown started making whack ass Ship. It started going to weird place. It

was like everybody was making fucking whack dance music. And

some of this was Bega Forever. It was a Bob they had Bob City, but they definitely were getting into a place even as created we were getting to a place where we were trying to force that because they were that was what was right pop, that was what was being total first lmfao, oh my god, oh my god, and uh, you know all them type of people, that's who we were getting compared to, Like yo' I'm not sure what's worst l MFAO or anything with Like I'm not sure, like is it little Pumpers at l m

f AO, but its tomatoes and times. I really love this song Gucci Game, as much as I don't like I like Boss, I don't like nothing he does do. That song was a bigger We seen him just like get up on there and support Trump. I let them get called a little pimp, and after that I turned it off because there was nothing else that you need to say, like you got you nigga, even say your name right like this, play them on purpose. It's silly, but we could definitely get into that as well too

at some point, you know we will. No, but it's crazy because you guys went through all these errors of music. Some of it was microwavable, but like and then the HS eighty seven wave hit hit Boy becomes the biggest producer in the world. Yeah, uh, that was what shit. Twenty eleven is when Washing the Throne came out. Yeah, so that's like twenty twelve, and then twenty twelve is when he got the deal. By that time, you would

already as soon move on from the production deal originally. Yeah, but like so around like just to give like a quick little boom like after we like they say like twenty ten. You know what I'm saying. We were fucking two three songs into the deal. Niggas wasn't really trying give us no money. I had real relationships. Chris Brown invited us on like this huge ass tour at this restaurant out here in Hollywood. He looked me in my face, was like, man, y'all come on the tour. Man, y'all good.

All y'all gotta do is get a tour bus and y'all good for every day and they have bread for us. We just had to get a bus and we didn't know the game Interscope wouldn't even pay for the bus. It was sixty racks. It was stupid little petty shit like that that like we didn't know no better saying that to say we but I knew enough to be like, Yo, this shit is whack. You feel me and then me and Octane like they start kind of like turning us against each other. They start getting weird early, but this

is my brother. So if we were never able to do nothing, it was always like getting a room and chop it up like nigga was good. This shit is out, you feel me, And so that's what we did. I'll let niggas know, like y'all, I'm up out of here. I ain't fuck it with this production, this shit, none of this shit no more. We had the option. At the time of Interscope, everybody had left, you know that signed this all this shit, So we had the option stare go. We left, moved back to the hood, the

little bit of bread I had. I moved back literally to the hood hood too, Like I was around the corner from the block and I had a little bread. So like in the hood, we were stars everywhere we go with the niggas. So it's popping. Make a long story, shure. We made I start producing it, and we did a song called throw It Back and a song called Crap It Up that both did a million views and shit on YouTube and sh boors. You feel me as kids, So this is no hip boy, no no inters coming

to nothing. Niggas in rialto me producing it. My nigga's doing our thing. And that started like making even just like the hit boy just Monther, like our brothers and shit even respect niggas, like shit, what we was doing a lot more. Even so I started getting around hit boy more outside of this ship. Before he was doing this deal, we being no hit So when he first got his deal, you know, he called me like I mean when Jimmy I even wanted to when he offered

him the deal, he called me. I remember I was in the bay. He called me and he was like, YO, have to do this shit. Whoop, come with the nigga. I went to move with him, and you know where, he had a little apartment like North Hollywood. When I tell you, Ninka hit what and smacked the battest bitches in the game. I'm not even in the air. Just no, this man didn't crack the goats of these like all the I don't know about that, but that niggas the goat.

I'm just saying, I said because I remember being in this little apartment when we had our manchic ship was different. But when and I was in his apartment, like I lived in this I sleep on this couch, so I'm watching I'm waking up to the girls walking out like oh shit, Like damn. That's that's so. It was a while a little time, But that's my brother. That's why I could talk that ship hip for sure. Yeah he did go on so many levels, but hey, we gonna get it. I want to get to the house and

hit two. But all right, so he hit y'all. HS eighty seven to me was something that was dope. It was like, y'all can't money, I forget the girl's name, beat Mac, the queen, be Mac, the Queen, beat care g ROI fucking h hedge banger. What the fuck is this? Kose k Roosevelt, Come on, k Roosevelt, still going crazy. He's find but nah, But like, what do you think? What do you think went wrong with HS eighty seven or why do you think it didn't work out like

I thought it was going to? Obviously I thought it was gonna be crazy, man, Listen, h just A seven was like the biggest shit ever, which we didn't even realized till after when people be telling us how we were when we walked in rooms and like the perception

which we you know, you know what I mean. And but the real reason that I personally think it didn't work out, other than just divine timing, was just hit Boy was the biggest producer in the world as well as hit Boy can actually rap and make dope music. You know what I'm saying. He was really inspired to make you know, his own music, you know, do a solo thing. And I think it was a lot of people in his corner and in his ear. No, I

don't think. I know it was a lot of people in this corner in his ear and the wrong people in his corner in his ear. That just was just giving them wrong advice in game, you know, as simple as that. That, like on what he should have been doing with the budget. And then we from Nai we kids like that don't know shit. Niggas is get it broke, like I remember, like hit Boy being at my cribs, spending the night before I remember hit Boy being at our producer's cribs stugg in Like it ain't always been

up and rich either, you know. So when that niggas start getting that crazy bread like he trusting these people, you know, So when they not telling that nigga to put two hundred thousand that radio behind Kate Roosevelt as he should have that, you know, or when they're not telling this nigga to put you know, two hundred thousand to whatever fucking anything whatever behind Shine or whatever, because he's not knowing too and obviously he's not finished. So I think it was shit, Like I think it's I

told him this. I told him. I think he's improved so much an MC, and I feel like he's he's taking huge strides in that direction. I feel like initially he he had you can't money. I feel like he could have eased into the rapping shit a little bit slower, you know what I'm saying. That makes sense, I mean because his boy is rapping better than everyone now, No, no,

he could rap his like. I just feel like, initially, I feel like he he came into the game, like it went from him being the biggest producer in the game to him it almost felt like solely focusing on rapping. Yeah, and he was and it was like all right, well, which it wasn't eve a bad idea because he had good, great record bro. Then the nigga dropped jay z interview like we got crazy and that shit went so crazy that you would be foolish to not like go full

speed ahead, you know what I mean? But I think like me and my cousin was banging a fucking hip boy verse going crazy. This nigga's a net right, Like his whole project. He dropped. He dropped two projects this year, the ship with Dominics, so little shit. But the reason why I feel like he's going so crazy now is

because he's the where he's at in the production. I feel like low key when you get to the point where you're like as big as he was, and then it almost feels like he had he he's got a chip on his shoulder again because I feel like people stop mentioning him in those conversations that he should always be mentioned in. Yeah, And I think it was because he was so focused on HS eighty seven, right, and and and and that whole era of his career that

it took away from hip Boy the producer. So now I feel like he's just and he's been on his ship for like, dude, and I'm gonna tell you, bro, really not just this year by none, No, Listen, every year he boy got at least ten places. He's always doing it. But the thing is too like at that time, specifically, we were really on some ship to where we was like, yo, were finish challenged the game. The beat sounded wow like granted, now niggas beats and shit sound like what we was

doing I remember I was. I was at y'all's crib and uh and Sino or where was it a Tarzana? I was over there, bro, and you guys played me grinding my whole life. Yeah, and I was blown away. It was like the hardest ship I ever heard. I was like, this is the crazy, this is the criticians I grinding from the clips. This ship is so hard. Like literally some of the beats, I mean, the beat

was so nutty that like people didn't get them. You didn't get it, and so like a person that just raps too crazy and so it's just going over your head like fucking daylight, you know what I'm saying. Like that was how the beats were. You know, even though we love beats, listen really music. Motherfuckers loved him. Everyone loved him. But the people, the people who aren't music, like kids that are in their fucking car going to school that want McDonald's on the way, don't understand. The

beast didn't understand what he was doing. That's why everything that man is touching now is translating. He gets he got the roles, he cracked the code. Yeah, you guys, do you think later on, like looking back, people have kind of called onto it, you know, like a movie will come out and then like later on it's like a cult classic. Yeah, but it didn't do nothing but make the people who did catch it like only go

in like embrace hit Boy more, embraced us more. That really did fuck with us, embrace like the people who are catching it late, they just coming and fucking with us now. And the people who are who you know, who aren't catching and never caught it. It It just is what it is. Yeah, you guys had a crazy new ki list at that house or everybody was just working in different rooms and the illy shit like I can yo. So what's some of your favorite house and hit memories

For people who don't know. Hip Boy had a crib in Tarzana. Everyone lived there. We had a crib. Everybody had a crib. Let's be clear, man, because you know we we we have bread going to that crib. Man. No, that shit was crazy. It was the environment, the creative environment of that ship was wild. Yeah, we had we did have the fucking biggest and dopest I'll say not biggest, but i'll say dopest compound and had easily the biggest parties in La the years that we were doing it,

like without a doubt, like for sure. That's what was some of my favorite moments other than like here boy just coming downstairs and telling me, hey, nigga, yeah no, it's finna be here in that hour, just wild shit like that to blow me away, you know what I mean, and tells like make sure you tell me, like don't don't invite nobody, make sure don't nobody pull up because this wild ass person is coming, you know what I'm saying, And only I can luckily be in there and this

person and that you know shit likes that, like, Hi, boy is fucking that's my fucking like, that's niggas. God, did you guys ever record on some ship and then he ended up having to break it to y'all like, hey guys, sorry, Rihanna took this one, or hey guys, sorry, oh man. That always like niggas. Remember the example, listen watch the I mean niggas in Paris was a whole nother song. The Honey had a whole different songs to Chili Chill. Chili Chill had a whole different song to that,

Like we always that would always happen. Let me think of a fucking song. I don't know, but that would always happen, you know, or just shit, man, it would be sometimes songs I can't really think of it because it would be like all we did was create. So sometimes we would set the platform for certain records that like niggas. Sometimes we would get tick off songs, but we wouldn't give a fuck. We was it was the benefit of the game. So it's like Nigga if the

ship getting placed or whatever. We were just creating, you know. So I can't even remember. It was so many fucking moments. But my favorite moments, though, I got to say, was like our parties because I remember, like literally like I would be standing we had this wild ass balcony where where the DJ would be DJ and I'll be on the mic, like hit Boy be up there, like like I got a wild ass picture with me, hit Boy, Frank Ocean, James Farnler, Roy, Travis Scott, whoever else the

fuck is on that balcony from way over there. Travis got fucking low ass hair, you know what. I'm Travis was opening up for Casey Veggie when Frank Ocean was coming to Niggas parties. You can't get Frank to Cochella right now here. Was that probably like two thirteen, you know, sometime around there. But just like the people we will be watching, like Big Sean walking up about us, the gang, motherfucking Chris Brown, like all these niggas was just in

our front yard, you know what I mean. At the party, we wasn't even inviting people half the time. Niggas just had to be there because we was having the craziest parties the OHI East Slide. And that's what was making the parties this ship because we was bringing the ie you feel me, that was bringing a different drive out, different energy, more more more interesting than having fun. Ghetto. Yeah,

turn niggas was turned. Niggas was doing wild problem doing shit the party acts problem next time, if you ever do whatever, then you do a problem. Asks him that netty ash, that his netty ass moments at the crib. He was my favorite person. Coming a problem used to be crazy amazing. I remember doing to a problem. The problem is a yeah, he's a he parties. I mean, listen, welcome to Mollywood. You know what I'm saying. Molly Wood, that was all you gotta do is just fucking you

know listed album just listen to the album. Yeah, so it was just a dope time. Like above everything here boy like because regardless of like the mistakes that we all make, just growing in this game. This game is a very dark and slithery game. If you get in the wrong shit and once you get to a certain height meaning and when you say that, I can go into context because people always say that, So to the

kids that's watching this shit, it's just about intention. Everybody that's in his game isn't any for the right reason, you know what I'm saying. So because you've got good we rolled up, let's roll something. But everybody's not in

it for the right reason. So you got some people who's dark and want to cheat you how to deal or divide homies up so that they can get closer to this person that looks like the biggest producer so they can have all to say so so they can be the one to have the thirty percent or whatever. It gets slithery. So above everything, we maintained a brotherhood. Like we maintained like we ain't never get out here and get to smut each other and doing no wild

nutty shit. Nobody ever really truly cheated nobody like Hi Boy ain't never cheat us, like he just didn't know the game, you know what I mean? And that's just it is what it is, like everybody ain't like everybody's not just ultimate business. Everybody's not Verry Gordy because they're fucking just super musically talented. You can't expect that all the time, you know, Nah for sure? Do you think? Uh, like as as a homie, like how dope is it to see like the year that he's having, man, because man,

it's historical. I could man cry probably, I don't know if I ever or not, you know what I mean. That's my real brother. We didn't crowd in the studio before, We didn't really have moments. So like me like seeing his son, you know what I'm saying, just seeing what he didn't been through, Like Hi Boy hadn't been through some wild shit behind closed doors that's happened within these years. That's also charged him up. It's also made him treat

look at niggas different. You know, he didn't really went through some wild shit, you feel me. So I'm just like so proud and just so inspired. You know. That's always been my big hommy. You know what I'm saying. I just said, like when I was first making beats, that Nigga was laying on his bed, Nigga with his laptop on his chest, like not even paying me, no minuse.

My beats were so weak and I was just going through like weird that sounds and he just was like, I actually had a dope beat, but I had a weak ass sound in there, and he just was like, sound selection is key, little hommy. That's the way he literally looked over it. Tell me that night. Never forgot that shit. I think about it every time I create music. Are you are you still producing? Hell? Yeah? Man? How much? How much of the album did you produce? I did

like two or three beats? I did Mayodo feature in Coaching, Yeah, and I did uh Watermelon with Tone Stiff, So I did like two or three and then on my new shit, I got a lot of shit. Yeah, So what's okay? So the album is out? You know you've been getting a lot of love? Man? Is it is it hard? Like?

Is it harder to go through this like a you know, we're in a in a world now where there's just very like like two or three people that could really change your life and they're like Carl Cherry and whoever the fuck is Carl Cherry at Apple Music, you know, and it's like it kind of sucks because there's very like little room to just like like you got it. You got to be like a cool guy almost. You got to be in that cool guy club to get into like a lot of these playlists. And it's is

I think it's I think it's whack. But is it hard like for you to try to thrive in this environment like as you know, being indie now, being solo now and trying to still you know, compete in that world. Because it's a hard world to compete in. Man, I think you're absolutely right about it being like a game where you gotta know these people. Yeah, and it's really weird because what if Carl doesn't like you, or if you met somebody at a party co part about it,

it'd be so much deeper than Carl. It beat it Like no, no, no, that's crazy. I'm piggybacking on what you're saying. It don't even get to Carl, because two steps under Carl you might have fucking pissed them off the wrong way and then to stay that could have been a motherfucker. That wasn't even in music or it

just gets wild. And so the number one thing that I made sure I kept in my psyche and just my spirit while doing everything I'm doing, creating my music, being solo, paying for videos, doing my roleout doing everything I'm doing was just pure intentions is just knowing what I'm like my message while I'm doing it, which is purely to like like teach and inspire like freedom, leadership, ownership, and my people, Like I got enough people that literally

fuck with me, that's just gonna listen that. Like if even if that's one hundred people that I knew, if I put it in music for him, it would have just inspired him and turned them up. And that's how it was coming. Bro, Like I ain't even wasn't even really trippy because I've had it at the highest heights as far as like field Board premiers were the first video to play on Revote. Like the third video was Biggie. It was a video that wasn't in English, Sean Sean.

It was the third vie to ever played worldwide on Revolt. I didn't have the biggest premiers. I don't know who watches it. Puffy Shot puff, you know, shout the old team. It was so many fuckers up. We know that early on was so fire. We know the original team, you know what I mean that Dana is the fucking l

is the real original team. That's our people. But we so I've had the highest heights of fucking premieres, and I've had it where just me and Octane dropped the ship on fucking SoundCloud or something, got no and then had a song that's streaming fucking millions of streams that we don't own the masters too, because we know Game and our manager. However, we just dropped that on a low scale and it boomed. So it's like, you know, I got records like low key was just like everybody. Yeah, Travis,

when we got relationship, I really have. I saw Travis reposted your your album, even posted the album Man, which in twenty twenty is huge. My man's got his own McDonald's meal. You know what I'm saying. My son went crazy about it. My son was like that, Travis, you know what I mean, that's my brother, Travis, Like I thought, yeah, like we ain't like we ain't like the everyday things. That's my brother. If I call him, you know enough times he's gonna answer you that nigga's huge. I don't

even take it personally. I remember the first time I met him, him and Casey Veggie's were on the road together and he opened up for Casey in scott Still exactly and then now you know, Jesus, that part it's crazy, that part. I mean we was ship Jeezy was opening for us and yeah, I mean, I mean a lot of people is opening. It was open. You know what was the tour you were on? And when I saw you as in Florida it was after Comings with school School.

I was thinking school Boy, q Vents Isaiah shot. That was a crazy tour that was mine mind blowing, life changing. But that was That's what it is. My intentions has been pure. Luckily, I've been just blessed. I got an incredible partnership, and through my partnership, my music been speaking like because that's what I've been on, Like I ain't I'm funding everything, so funny with shit, like everything I've been funded. So it's like you got an investor, you

say you got a business partner? Is that kind of the guy putting up you come up with your bread bro? Like that's my business partner, in my endeavors outside of music, outside of music, but when it comes to your ship, my music is solely me, like you know what I'm saying, having to go through it, like damn, let me listen, man, take them, let's do this camera, let's make it this long man. Because you know, because you said something yesterday

about the voting ship. Yeah, okay, so from what I read on your story, you would pretty much said, I'm gonna just go out here and vote just to show y'all don't matter. That is fluke, that is fluke or something to that point. So can you please elaborate on that? But then I also posted after which I will elaborate on that. But then I also posted I was joking and I wasn't going to vote. Okay, you didn't vote, No, okay,

why not? Okay, so yeah, let's go, let's go. So I have posted that let me take these light men, so because they keep jingling and shit and it's twenty twenty and we don't be in my immedia training. Shit, man, we're doing what we want to do. But so I have posted all like how we're taking Blunt's mid energy. This is awesome, good it's awesome. So I posted, Yo, I'm going to go vote, just to show y'all how

flu did it? That is just fluke. And for like thirty minutes, I almost convinced myself that I was and I was like, what are you doing? Cut it out? And then I posted that I wasn't going to vote and that I'm not going to participate and encourage my followers that y'all don't have to be bullied into participating. It's something that isn't true to you if you do

not connect. If you do that, and I'm talking about on the presidential status, if you want to go and vote for the lower level voting, city voters, councils, things of that nature, different like perhaps and laws one hundred percent. But I'm talking about the presidential level, which everyone was campaigning for. That's what I'm talking about. But on that same ballot as all the local shitred percent. That affects

a lot of shit one hundred percent. So if you're going, but I'm speaking about because if you go and vote, not voting. If you go and vote, you don't have to vote. Yeah, president exactly, that's what. So that's what I'm saying. So I have to. Yeah, you can leave whatever on that ballot empty that you don't want to vote. On my point, So if it's if you feel inspired to go out and vote for anything that you feel inspired for, which was my part of my post, and

then by all means, go vote. But you also have the right, especially us colored people, my Melanoise, anybody that are American Africans in this country, you one hundred percent of the right to not vote, just as much you have the right to vote, you know what I mean, especially if neither one of these people resonate with you. So let me ask you a question, though, do you fuck with Trump or Biden? Neither do I but I

really don't fuck with Trump. Yeah right, So let me ask you this though, But like if you think about okay, let's say, hypothetically speaking, we rewind, how long has we been recreational out here? It's been like almost ten years, right, No, recreational been like a little over two years. Uh yeah, twenty sixteen, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly where it's just like smokeouts what you So, if you think about it, right, even if you go before before medicinal right, people had

to go out and vote for that to happen. Yeah, right, And so there's a lot of people who might be in jail right now had that not gotten passed. We can't like if you go, I mean, you know this, you've been on the road. You can't walk around Louisville, Kentucky with weed the way you can walk around la My first time ever going to jail, The only time I've ever been to jail, just to piggyback was in Atlanta for literally a point zero zero one a weed. I can't even grab as much weed out of here

a that I had. So what I'm saying is those those things like actually affect people we know, right, And I do think too there's another conversation to be had about the president shit. But I think if you have any sort of platform, if you choose not to vote, that's on you. But I just don't think it's very I don't think you have to promote not voting, right, because even if you, like I agree with you about the presidential shit, neither candidate was inspiring. One of them, though,

is Hitler. I've seen it, No, But because I've seen you on Instagram talk like like having run ins with Trump supporters, Yeah, and shit like that. One of them is galvanizing that energy, and one of them is just a piece of shit. So one of them is a flaming pile of dog shit on your front portion, and one of them is just some regular dogshit. Like the flaming pile of dog shit could light the whole house on fire, right, the other pile of dog shit is just dog shit. You could just clean it up, and

you know it might not ruin your entire house. That's a bar, you feel me right now? Okay? So with the president though, comes so many other things, like Supreme Court justice, for example, they just got this Catholic bitch up in there Trump's trying to bring in. No, no, it's done. Okay, Yeah, they pushed you through. So now because of that, there might not be a abortion, might get taken off of the fucking row versus way, you

might get overturned. So while you might not fuck with Joe Biden because I don't fuck with Joe Biden, you can dig up the tweets on me shitting on that. Man, I don't fuck with Joe Biden. I don't fuck with Kamala Harris for the But if they get elected, it means that a Supreme Court justice that won't overturn abortion rights or overturn gay marriage. It's like, I hear you, but it's much bigger than just that one name, because if it's me, I'm like, look, I'm a Bernie Sanders motherfucker, right,

I was rocking with Bernie Bernie and Andrew Yang. Neither of them motherfuckers made it through. And I'm really I have a lot of disdain for the d n C.

I think it's very corrupt. I think, like the stuff you're saying, they feel very entitled to black people's votes, to Hispanic people's votes, and they just take it for granted, and then they do this really trash ass pandering with these celebrities, like shout out to two Chains, Love two Chains, but the fact that, by the way, I think that might be the second time he's done that's my dog

though shout out. But what I'm saying is like, I hear you, and you have every right to be like, man, fuck y'all, But I don't know if now's the time. If it was like just some normal run of the mill Republican on the other side who wasn't on fire in front of your house, who could set your whole house on fire. Yeah, if it was just a piece of shit and a piece of shit, well, there's two pieces of shit here. It's just really a matter of you know, whether or not you want to set the

election out. But like, shit is crazy, dog, and I've seen you have interactions with these racist people. I literally just just to figure back. I literally just drove past some Trump dude. We both like drew down on each other. He showed me he had his gun. I shut in my own mind, like, can you hear me? You were ready, bitch, I'm more read. So those people have always existed. The only thing about Trump being president is at least now

that we know who they are. Like, if you see somebody with a flag hanging off the back of their car, that's another level of Like, I understand if you are I don't understand if you're a Trump supporter, But if you're a silent Trump supporter and you're just like yo, I'm voting for him for tax or whatever, racism is it a deal breaker? Whatever? Right, But if you're the type of motherfucker that's out here with flags hanging off your truck, that tells me you're a real racist, fucking cunt.

You're about you want some smoke, might be a listen. But what I'm saying is I understand how you could be uninspired. But at the same time, you have to understand that, like even if you affected twenty people not voting, that's a lot of people. Yeah, and I think that if you take even just the local measures, those are the measures that really affect our day to day life. Like that's where you gotta like, I hear you. Yeah, you have the right to not vote. You have the

right to say. I'm just telling you. I think that you're a very smart dude, and I understand how you could feel like these motherfuckers just think I'm just supposed to vote for them because this is who they're force feeding me. And guess what, that's how they feel. You're right, these motherfuckers really do. Just think Like when this full Joe Biden said, if you don't vote, if you vote for Donald Trump, you ain't black. That ship is insane, Like the like, how crazy was that? I love that?

The whistle for the people who are going to hear the podcast with no video, you got that whistle, I'm gonna give you another one. But no, that was like, no but that was exactly what you're talking about. The fact that he had the audacity to say that is like, bruh, bro, I'm gonna tell you, Like, first off, I can't say that I disagree with what you're saying. Like you know what I mean, By the way, California is going blue either way, whether you vote or not. But none, none

the matter. They can continue regardless. Like I'm talking about California is like, but that's not that, that's neither here nor there. True, that's neither here nor there. Just to just to hit on the dog ship that's burning in front of the doorway first, just real quick too, for me personally, and I believe for many colored people that it just sounds really bad when you say colored people. Yeahs you're pushing. You can say color, you can say melanos,

you can say black. To me, saying black is worse than colored. I don't like because you're not black. Yeah, this is black. This is fucking black. Yeah, that ship is not tight. I'm very like bronze real looking. I'm just I'm what they described to Jesus in the Bible, you know what I'm saying. Literally, But so black, ain't it? But so for color. You know what I mean. I feel like the burning ship has been in the front of like literally every time I walk outside of my door,

the burning ships there. Bro I don't And this is not to like just try to like you know, say, but it's just literally my reality. It's equivalent to like being being took. Fuck it. I'll use it in regular terms because I always I always use it the knowledge of like a castle being taken and putting into a castle and putting at the bottom of the dungin and having to vote for who's at the top of the fuck that. Imagine you artists or you uh personalities, you bosses,

you fuck because you're not a part. You got your own fucking studio company, fucking father's husband. Imagine you all being me as an artist being taken to Interscope. Imagine Interscope taking me my rights everything and owning me and they're like, yo, you gotta do what the fuck we say you like, you know what I mean, We own you. You're in Interscope, period. This is what the fuck it is. And you want me to vote for who's like the president's company every I'm not voting for shit now, y'all

own me regardless. I'm here, regardless. That's literally my that's literally my perspective on voting when you are a Melanoi, when you're an American African in this country, because the way I feel is this neither of them and it's not hard. The same way, you can reach out to Little Pump because he's on Instagram making a hurrah orrah about how he fucks with Trump, so you feel the need to reach out to him and bring him up for a fucking rally because he's made that much noise

on Instagram. Do you know how much noise our people have been making for reparations on Instagram alone? A few niggas ain't said shit about it, fuck y'all, I don't. I'm not so for me one thing. If you pay attention to me and you pay attention to the things that I truly post, and you're like literally paying attention, you see that. I never press my view on anything. I'm not a Christian. My family my mother is a full for Christian. But my mother's a full faired Christian.

I fully believe in the Christian faith. I'm just not a Christian, you know what I'm saying. But that's not what I'm rocking. I move how you move. I never push for people to do what I do. Look, do your history, do your research, and then go with what resonates with your god feeling. That's my biggest ship because literally going down there and voting for anything the one thing that we are doing. We're in San Bernardino in the i E. We're getting involved with the political side,

though we're with especial County. There's some crazy Samonnardino County is the second poorest county in the second poorest city in the United States. Yo is the biggest counties in the county. No. I was in Apple Valley at the Homies Crib and that ship was real trumpy over there. Boy, that's that's more like how Palmdale, Apple Valley all that

type of ship. Yeah, that's because they go. But see, the ie is more of just like being well, there's Riverside County in San Bernardino County, and so San Bernardino County is the that might be apple apple value. No, No, Samardino County, Damn surein Apple. Let me tell you Bigderville is in San Bernardino. Apple Valley is an interesting place. Yeah, I could. I don't think I'm wrong. I could be, but I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong, though,

Apple Valley in Sadino County. But by the way, Apple Valley got got a little trap area in it. Everywhere there is definitely listen, but most definitely Apple Valley, Palmdale, Lancaster that you will get killed out there. It is not no game, the same way people think the I E Is a game. II right now is number one. The murder capital of California of twenty twenty is Sarmernardino. Not all the cities that everyone expects, the cities that are under not to just try to parade because it's

not cool, but not to make shit cool. Then it's Oakland, then it's Compton, or then it's Compton in Oakland, one of them. But Apple Valley is in San Bernardino, Sama, visit. Okay, cool, So but that's not like Apple Valleys so fucking far. But then again, like I told you, Sarmonnardino is the biggest county in the United States. So it's so many fucking little sick That's what I'm saying. That's why I think you right and you vote was local because I

don't know I think that you're right. I think that uh, you're obviously. I think reparations is the big conversation. It actually isn't and not cuts off, but I gotta go in. There isn't even anything to talk about like, and that's the thing that I as many as as well as many others from boys walkings to trek initiated to resis Islam to it's too many to name young Pharaoh max Oh is too many to name some wild a ship,

well you know he does. But most definitely they're all can give you a million facts as to why black and how black people should and could be in getting reparations. This ship is like childish and so for me, for black people to even like, no, for like, to even go down there and play any of them games, to even be in any political seat is just scary. But at the same time, we gotta play ball play the ship is nuts. It's a rat race. But that's why for me, what the number one thing we pushes ownership.

The number one thing we push is obviously, like I said, is getting down there and get it. There are people who feel, like I feel, have way more knowledge than I have as far as African spirituality, and history that go and vote, and that pushing for people to vote. And I'm not mad at that because it's true to them. I'm literally selling my soul. I feel like I am selling my soul going down to them. Let me ask you a question. Don't sell your soul going to the No. No,

But like, I know you're extreme. You've been extremely vocal about Trump over the last four years. I kind of fuck with Trump a little. If we're talking Trump or Biden. Well, no, but well that's crazy. Uh, but no, what I was gonna say. But no, But bro, you've been very vocal online about the Trump shit. Yeah, over the last four years.

Do you think you've started to pivot your thought process on it more recently because of Biden getting at Like I do feel like the d n C heavily like fumble the play at the I mean, look, they're probably gonna win. It's looking like Biden's winning, but they could have like it's scraped, scraped I'm talking about because it's all designed. Listen, hear me. I didn't vote for Obama. I'm not registered to vote period. What I'm saying, I

didn't vote for Obama. Have you soften your Trump stance lately. No. Only thing that it made me do is be like, all right, well shit, if I got it, if I want to, if one out of two of these motherfuckers got to be in there, I rather Trump be in there. Why Because for me, like you said, one thing, just off rip. If I gotta deal with racist half racist, play racist facready, I'd rather deal with a raw racist. I'd rather deal with rather. I love knowing who people are.

If you gay, be gay, and just be gay, very gay, so we know you gay. Don't be the homie and you you know what I'm saying you on the download and ship, you're doing some wild shits like nah, be gay, whatever you are, be it. That's how I'm so. Trump is it. If he's nothing else, he's it. And then the thing that Trump the one thing I can say about Trump out of damn near any president I've ever seen other than Obama creating Obamacare, which was in the

benefit of all the motherfuckers. But again he got voted in. Yeah, and that but that was by design. Obama was gonna win regardless. I'm not sure that's the case. That was that was the case, just like Trump was gonna win regardless. But Trump's losing right now. I think it's I'm talking about this one, but I think Trump I think that by design would have been Trump getting reelected. No, but I don't. I don't. I I just can't. I just can't. I don't think it was by design that bro Trump

versus Hillary, that was definitely by question. So you talk about Trump being in there, and you know he's a racist and Biden is like the undercover racist. What you're saying now policy wise, when Trump starts pushing policies that are directly racist and repealing human rights for certain people, Biden, if he's trying to play undercover races, He's not gonna be able to directly do that. I don't think the people in his cabinet or the people on his side

are going to be pushing those types of policies. I agree. The reason why I fuck with Biden is obviously for things of like the dep deportation and these I got not only Hispanic homies, but I got African friends, I got Egyptian homies. One of my best friends is Egyptian, And like you know what I'm saying, it's like wild shit like that that I don't want to happen to my people most definitely. However, the struggle that comes above and before all of that is the American African struggle

that has yet to been answered at all. So I could give personally a fuck about any of it. Not a gay right, not a woman right, not a no right until black rights are respected. To answer, That's truly how I feel, bro, And I've gotta be like one of the people that's going to say I'm independence, so y'all can't hurt me what y'all want to do. I do think. I think that Trump has done a couple

of things. He increased the funding for historical black colleges for the He got his little bullshit Platinum player, and he trying to work out actually he had four years today is gonna me, I'm talking about it. He's actually done. He funded the funk out of the HBCUs, which nobody's done. And then he he had the prison reform bill that that benefits colored people. As you would say, there's a few things that like, I mean, like if we're going off for track records now, the one thing that Trump,

Trump's an idiot, that's as clear as day. He is a racist, for sure. He has no empathy is my biggest problem with Trump. He has no empathy. But he's also like a businessman first, and when you're a businessman, there's a certain level of empathy, Like you gotta have empathy. I have empathy. Trump no empathy. But he's such a like raw because he's like, you gotta understand this nigga's been rich since before we were I was born. Like, it's got small little rascals since little Rascal the nigga

was in little Rascals. Bro, I remember this nigga the rich digg kids. YEAHO being rich like he's been so saying that to say, he's been like having having to be this like snoppy boss. So it's nothing for him to like not give a fuck about what's not benefiting whether it's the business, but now the business is the country. Yeah,

I don't know, man. So for me, I'm not saying that I'm fucking with it or I'm fucking with him, like, but I do, like I get the logic of and then he's not a politician, so that part of the game I do funk with too, because like, like prime example is jobody when we when I do fucking take time out of my fucking amazing life, this incredible colored experience to watch these goofballs fucking have the most childish debate I've ever seen since my nine year old arguing

the first debate both for them was like, everybody throw up right now. But that's because Trump and Biden. Because if Biden wasn't childish and corny, he wouldn't even be partaking me. I would have walked off the stage. I'm not even doing this. Let's get this ship, Like, what are we doing when you guys are ready to do

this professionally? But that's the thing. Biden gets up there and plays the politician game, answers everything like the last one hundred niggas we've been seeing for the last hundred years. I can't play that game. You just have. Now you sound more like Barack. That's the thing he's gotten, this steady BAROQ. Watch your next next to sound Rump is

the president. The worst thing that can happen to me is like the end of the United States, the end of democracy, possibly the end of the world, because this guy might somebody might say some shit about his little hands, and he might turn the fuck up and hit the red button on him mother. I mean, what stopped that? From the first four years everybody thought that was gonna happen. Elections always do their most extreme policy choices second term

because they're not for reelection. It doesn't matter. No, But you also, I don't know if you noticed, but Trump low key almost got us into World War three when he assassinated the general of Iran without clearing it through fucking anybody like that. We're We're lucky. We're so lucky that Iran like didn't want to smoke, because if they wanted to smoke, they got China and Russia. Shit was

about to be turned. We literally smoke. It'd be like if somebody came over here and smoked Mike Pence and they was like, bro, because that was that guy's position essentially in Iran was like the number two in the whole country is a fucking hero in the country, and we smoked him for no reason. So that's the thing I would rather you say, I like we, but not we If anybody y'all okay, Donald Trump them, but most of any no, Bro, we can't do that. We can't

do that for you or anybody or your listeners. These beautiful, beautiful beautiful bootleg keV podcast listeners. I won't even do that to y'all. Make y'all believe that Trump just picked his phone up and made a single solo. Did you not see him speak about it? Trump can't just make

that call, so understand. Overstanding understanding is if someone got assassinate, especially at number two, anybody at Mike Pence's level from any country, he he but listen, he's the commander than Trump, He's the commander in chief, So he's military, he's the leader of the military. He cleared that action through neither the Senate or the or COmON. What he's saying is that there's other military doubt. But what I'm saying is

so much deeper than we're talking about. But we're talking about we're talking about so who do we at the end of the day. This motherfucker's losing today, So fuck him. Yeah, facts but licked. But what we need to truly be looking at, which is the same reason why I'm looking at them, This is who my enemy is. This is who I truly am looking. I'm not looking at Trump. I'm looking at the foolish, fucking like government that put him in position. It's not the people. The people didn't

put him there, So the people did. The people did not put him there, No they did not, but listen, no they did not. But look it, what you're telling me is a motherfucker who has no political experience, and you get to wondering if he's that actual, actual fucking like school experience. Like he's slow, right, And so you mean to tell me that the country, the government allowed this matter to come in within four years and outsmart them in enough PRIs price. This is the thing. Who

are we mad? He said, The people didn't do it. That's why that happened. Every single established Republican, every single one at all of them, were against him becoming denomination. Everybody. There was not a single established Republican politician or politician period that when the Republican primary went down, they Trump had the people chose him. What happened was these motherfuckers that you had to draw down on today, these crazy racist faster they came out and droves that nobody expected

to happen. Facts. And so when you say the people, the people, maybe not the majority of the people because we have electoral college, but but the people is who that's who put him there, said the same way, hold on the same amount of people and racist fucking beer drinking, fat belly guzzling, fucking hey, hey, uh fucking redneck cracker, fucking weird dudes that came popping up out of nowhere to go vote for Trump because we got to get this dude in here. One because these are racist like us.

But two because we will not stand for seeing a woman, white or black run our country. They got out their campaign for Trump. Yes they did, they did it, Yes they did. However, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, more women alone, black, white, Mexican, Asian, any type of women were at those polls voting for fucking Hillary and everything. That's not true. That's very true. Hey, what more white

women voted? Listen, maybe white women. But what I'm saying, but you said, you said all women, so cool, Maybe some white women and not all white women, but maybe some white voted for Trumps around maybe because that's that's that goes to show you how this country is white men, white men, because you got to understand something. That's the

reason why I knew Obama was going to win. It wasn't even to vote about the thing because white men, historical white men, these racist fucking they're the racist slave masters, the forefathers, I mean, the descendants of the slave master. They will not stand for a white woman, a woman to run the country. That's just not happening. They're not having it. They're not now not saying it won't happen, but they're going to do anything in their power before.

They'll rather see a nigga running rare to see a nigborhood running against you're talking about Sarah Palin Hillary when Obamas. Obama also historically like probably the most it was articulate candidate. Like you, there's not a more likable candidate than Barack Obama, whether or not you think he was a good president. But if you just were to sit in a room or dude, yeah, chop it up with him, you'd be like, yo, fun with bars definitely basally Michelle got fucking black star

on her playlist. But the reality is this is not about who niggas like, because everybody really likes Bernie. If we're talking about who really know who don't really like Bernie. The problem is the Southern older Democrats. They're they've been so indoctrinated by the d n C that they're like Biden. So that's the whole reason Bernie lost South Carolina. That South Carolina primary happen because Biden is a part of

like that same police establishment but the foolishes. The same reason why Kamala Harris will get on camera and lie about her favorite represent ship to play the game. What's also the same reason why you feel like you don't want to vote, the same reason why I'm not gonna vote, Well, you should vote. Man, You're a smart guy, they ship I am, which is why I know better for me personally, I know better. Yeah, so what I know to do for my people and what we are doing. Let me

ask you something. What is the number one thing in in in that you experience in LA that is like impedes or affects your piece every day. I'm not talking about I'm talking about tangible things. I'm talking about, like what's something like for me? It's when I drive and I see like full homeless people's cities under the bridges, like and I'm like, yo, fam, Like thank god, my kid don't got to walk the school through here because these motherfuckers are shooting here on on the side of

the road. And Mayor Garcetti is pretty much. You can't do nothing, Like they're like like the police force, like literally can't do anything about it. It's a whole community liquor store. So that's my example, right, right, So I'm like, okay, those kind of things collectively you can vote to change. So what fucks me cause you ask me questions? So what fucks me up? Like? What makes me feel like

the most like primes up? Is that? Right? But when I see that, what fucks me up isn't the fact that I can't get them up or make them leave. It's the fact that they're there. It's the fact that, like my people, when I see black people, because that's why I give my money to my fam when I see colored people, how did you get there? It's the fact that you're It's the fact that you don't own land. It's the fact that you don't even have your forty acres in the munle. You didn't even get to jump

start with that. Now, whether or not you just ended here because you fucked your forty acres off or whatever was old to you, like the Indians get like Jews and many too many of the name, then that'd be a different convo. But due to the fact that I know how our people where we come from, Dog when I drive down ski rope, because that was gonna be my answer. What fucks me up every day is the

fact that my family, the people I gotta do. I just had to fire my cousin off my food truck after two weeks, three weeks whatever of trying my hardest to fucking deal with them. We got those family members all day. It's literally a psychologic bond of psychological bondage that we're in. Dog. That is like, it's not a pity party. It's not me like trying to make excuses. You know what I'm saying, Because he's like that because his dad is how his dad is, and it's genetics,

so American history. So what you're saying, all are residual are fucking poison, it's crack, it's rape, it's incests, it's fucking pain, is trauma. That's our residuals. That's the reparations we've been given. We can't get no money, then niggas want to give d D and fucking that bush. Well, listen, I think that there's no uh what you're talking about. There might not be a it's a solution. Well go ahead, What do you think the solution is then, because I

don't think that there's a clear cut solution. Yeah it is, what is it? It's very clear. That's what my album talks about. That's what color is. That's what this whole ship is about. That's what it stands for. It's black ownership, it's leaving the legacy. It's financial freedom, residual income. That is the fucking answer. Not voting. What the fuck? Listen.

Voting does not give you any like Okay, whether you win, whether you win, votter, because y'all gonna blame it on me, y'all gonna y'all are going to blame it on my one vote as to why the rent went up in California and that in that in that problem. But the way y'all gonna blame it on my one vote or me telling my people, which I reposted on my story those props, okay, but y'all won't. But the people gonna blame it on me as to my one vote as

to why renting is possibly gonna go up at California. Now, But guess what, black man, black woman, if you had ownership, if you had a company, if you had businesses, you have residual income. That wouldn't be a problem to you because I could give a fuck about rent going up in California, period. So that's what I'm pushing. That's the answer.

Because if I had a million dollars that I can that I can literally like cut a check right now, that wouldn't like that wouldn't make me lose no sleep, or even if it did make me lose some sleep. But it was for my motherfucking people, and my cousin did. And I could call my bro Bobby that does and I could call five and ten of my homies that got an m We wouldn't even have to talk about all this shit because we'd have our own party. We'd

have our own political party. Then it'd be established. We wouldn't have to wait on Diddy lay you to death, we wouldn't have to wait on Ross, wouldn't have to wait on none of these niggas. There's no ownership, bro, there's no financial freedom. My sons are going to own no. I mean, I think that's I think that that's that's a great solution. I think though, that, like when you're talking about like any sort of incremental progress, no matter

how small, it is. Yeah, it's still progress. Like in my opinion, Like okay, Oregon, just I don't know if you saw the organ made it to where drug possession if you if you have personal use drugs no matter what it is, that they don't treat it as a criminal offense. That's fire, right, because like that can be fire. No. I mean they make you go to like therapy and spifi, court court mandated rehab essentially instead of ruining your job application,

fire bro, I think about it. What I'm gonna say, I'm just pick back on what you're saying, because I'm gonna say, like people who are addicted to drugs are going through things and they're trying to get over it whatever whatever. Get caught with drugs and then having to get all this crazy time, that's one thing. But niggas who are literally waking up every day in there tension is to sell dope and shit that's killing people. No, no no, no,

it's about users. It's personal use. I'll tell you guys though. So my family's from port right recently, Portugal, I think it's like ten years ago something they decriminalized all drugs across the board and crime as a whole. When plummeted fire, not just went down and plummeted fire. Because what happens is now you have users who aren't afraid to go seek help because it's no longer illegal. Right, so the

punishment and stuff is not there. I think too it helps with poverty because if you think about this, how many people you know they got card with some with some shit, some pills or some crack or whatever, and then now up there you can't get their job. They

can't get a job because they're failing. Yeah, facts, So it's like so that to me is like an example of like local government working, even if it's a small incremental Like I understand what you're saying isn't wrong, but both things can be right, isn't in any progress, And even though it's just your one single vote, it's still even if it makes a little bit of a difference in the like it's not it's like right now like for like, okay, you're talking about ownership, right, Yeah, so

if there was something on the ballot that like, uh, incentivized black ownership small businesses, would you still not vote me? Personally? There was stuff on I've seen different ballots, different parts. You didn't move the needle for you to vote. It's not enough. I don't give a fuck, but isn't it something? It's not enough. I'm not saying that, So you're saying it's either. Look I'm either yeah, but look listen to what you're like. This is this is the logic to me.

This is the logic to me, because no, no, that, this is the logic to me. This is the logic to me. My grandfather worked for you. My grandfather worked for your grandfather for his whole life. Not only did my grandfather and not saying you, I'm just just us an example, not only did your grandfather my grandfather worked for your grandfather for his whole life, but your grandfather and his buddies beat his ass, raped his wife, did all type of shit with it, which we all know

which was done. But not only did he do that. After he did all the trauma and she did, he got a fake little heart and attempted to write a note that said, hey, I'm gonna make right what I did so for you and your generations to come. This is what's owed to you, guys, because you worked all your life for me. You have businesses, so imagine your fucking staff oh, because I think about it all the time working. I wish my staf would work a week for free. Oh my god, nigga, why let alone a year?

Four years? Forty four hundred on the way way. Wait, so what you're telling me is that, like, so now we get here, you owe me a million dollars. Bro, So there is no all right, no, no no no, but I'm gonna give y all these laptops and let you come through the No, no no, no no, y'all owe us a

million dollars like uh, the radio station Vegas. If they old you a check, you're you need your check because you and your wife have in your y'all have to move out here and get mayor you're paying for your wedding. You have a wedding ring to buy. Fuck are we talking? No? I don't need no turntables, nigga, y'all owe me a check that y'all said was mine and owe to me. I did the work. Ain't y'all starting to sit to me?

Fucking buba, it's mine? So I don't want to take no little No, there's none of that that, None of that's enough. It's never amusing, not even a black president. That shit ain't enough. I don't give a fuck. Right, get from down there, by Obama, get from down there, get over here and stay with us. Man, What the fuck are you doing up there? Diddy? Get from them two teams. Leave a little pump up there. Leave them niggas where they're at. Y'all get over here and get

on cold. That's what I'm talking about about ownership. I'm not waiting on them. We're opening schools in my city. We got businesses in my city. We talk into the council, We literally my school that we're opening, City Right. Shoutut to my partner, sureis right, City Right Communiversity opening our school which is across the street from city Hall in Sara Nadino. We come in. But I'm not about to go down to the polls and play the baby game while we No, I'm not doing that. I'm gonna go

make real moves. I'm gonna make real plays. I'm gonna give my people the blueprint on how to help make these plays, help make them real. Because the more money we all got standing together, the louder our voices we talking, all the shit we talk about. It's too many broke motherfuckers that's yelling it out or people with not enough power, not enough ownership, like the person that owned BT. I forgot my brother's name. The black man is some Johnson,

I forget. I forget his name. But yeah, I wrote a little cold, a little plan out, billion dollar fucking reparation plan whatever. But it got attention. Why did it get attention because it's coming from a billionaire who owned BT. So imagine if ten of him, if ten of brothers that are just in the position that he are all locked up. So price that's all I'm listen. In order for reparations to happen, it's something that's going to have

to go through the political process. That's that's that's there's there's no avoiding the political process for what you want, right, So like for reparations to happen, that's something that has to go through Congress, has to go through the same has to get proposed. That's the only thing. Hold only just just just because I don't even want to that's not even necessarily just oh something I want because to me, that's not like I'm looking for a person that literally

raped my whole family. I understand, So that's not going to happen. But what I'm saying is that there is a realistic chance that in our lifetime that does happen. Yeah, I believe because we got you know, there's a very progressive wing of the Democratic Party that's activated, and maybe in twenty years, you know, ten years, the country can start to come around to that because, like you said, there has been reparations for Native Americans everything, and Germany

had to I was just having this discussion. The reason why America won't acknowledge the Turkish genocide that happened is because that would stamp it as being factual and then Turkey would have to pay our Menians out for their reparations. So you're right in saying you're old that. But what I'm saying is that's still a political it's still got you still gotta vote most try to put the right people in place to try to help that happen. Yeah, But the power, like I said, the power and the

power and the loudness. The if Joe Biden was like, I want reparations, We're gonna fight for reparations, would you have gone and voted or would you have been like fuck this? If he had a real plan and he was campaign for reperations, One hundred percent win voted. All right, one hundred percent voted. That's all that we were Listen, there was a whole campaign that people in our community were campaigned for Tangibles twenty twenty. So there was a

lot of that was the campaign Tangibles twenty twenty. But there was a lot of Democratic uh people who were running in the primary that had some solid plans for reparations. Yeah, the governor from the in there from Seattle and the governor from Colorado. I forget their names, but nobody was voting for them because I mean, I'm not gonna say because I don't know. I don't people dead said that

he thinks that reparations need to happen. But those guys because the higher ups, Because then when he gets to higher ups, niggas get the dude, nigga. You asks Biden, and you ask the niggas as running for president saying that it's just about them. But you ask the people running for president with how they feel about reparations, you get those and I don't think that they should be that. I don't think it should be this. It's what I'm saying. You got people up there that we're still alive. When

we had segregation. My point hold on and not only that, that's the point. Bro. I had a debate with my brother, Arian Foster. You know what I'm saying out to Houston, Shout out to my brother. He's so that fucks me over in fantasy football a couple of years. So fucking smart, bro, very smart, very smart. People don't very well yo, yo, He's like I love follow him on Twitter, Instagram. Super smart. Fucking me up. Because I'm not a college kid. I'm

from the football. All my knowledge, all my information that I've obtained, I've got so much to learn. But everything I've obtained, I've obtained it. I went and saw it. After it. I got it. I didn't go to school. My brother was chewing me on some nigga vernacular was out of here. He was going crazy. But you know, he's so smart. But just saying that to say when I did my research, because we did a debate, so I did twelve hours of research. You know what I mean.

It's people sitting at the top of the Senate, bro, that have literally been there since fucking they've been in sixty seven, like, been there from the beginning. There are no doubt races that are over the Trumps and shit like, that's what I think. Most of the people who have been around that long aren't there anything they are, there is nothing to think about them to send them to you, McConnell. And there's like lindsay, listen, there was old fool, Yes, bro,

there was this. I'm a sending no, no, I think that there definitely was. But I know they're there. Still, They're there still. I pulled it out on win our debate. I'm just I have so much shit that I have, But but those people are there because because motherfuckers voted them in. Yes, somebody, listen, I'm gonna tell you why.

What he's saying is one hundred percent of fact. As far as like the power of the votes and shit, I'm not I'm not negating as far as at a city level, right, at a city level and at a lower level, I'm not negating now, okay, because the reason why it's a real thing. As we were just looking at our school and they're telling us, you know, we're cross street from the city council, blah blah city hall.

The person that just won the city council, and I don't know if they keep winning it or just won whatever the fuck they won by eight votes, literally eight votes. Eight people want, eight people win vote, So y'all think, y'all, I didn't hear that and get turned the fuck up, like, oh really. But I'm gonna play the game because this is a game going down there in polling. The political is a game. So if I'm gonna play a game, one, I'm gonna play a game I want to play Xbox PlayStation,

I'm gonna play when I want to play. Then beyond that, I'm gonna play. But then beyond that, then I'm gonna play the game I want to play within that Call of Duty NBA two CA. Yeah, but this game is a game that can affect your dad to day life, but it can affect people who you knows it can, but it can't affect it no more than it already affects it. With me waking up with the color skin I have right and them already not making right to what's been done. Bro, that's this, that's the that's the

ginning convo. I understand what you're talking about. We're talking about forgiving your girlfriend. That's not what I'm talking about, is I'm saying. When we're talking about so much deeper than that. I get it what you're saying is but what I'm I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about like we're coming for city council. I use the weed example. That's what I'm saying. I'm with, Like these are things that like I'm with that would like would you rather

not vote or like make sure weed is legal? I mean, I'm a smoky regardless, I don't care. Yeah, but that's not wouldn't you rather not risk going to jail for smoking? What's something? Yeah? That would be awesome? So shouldn't you vote? No? I am familiar your community, community like you to say I should vote no. Listen, I'm gonna tell y'all because it doesn't make you feel it makes you feel one.

There's enough people, that's why. I that's what. Like we make up yes, thirteen percent of the population, we definitely do, We definitely do. But we make up thirteen percent of the population, that's it. But like sixty percent of the prison population due to yeah, law, but that's also due to this government that's still slavery. That's still if we get rid of the laws that they're pushing fortune definitely, However, however, if we's going to be legal, Weed's going to be legal.

The reason why we is legal is not because they want to let us smoke weed out on the street and not arrest us. Weed is legal because they want to be able to sell it and profit off of it. How do I know, because they're charging me and my company fucking hundreds of thousands to get in this space. You're so it's not for us. I'm able to see

past that. Y'all are y'all are made effect though, all are making gay that which shows those same weed uh propositions that pass in California because we're liberals, fuck have been on ballots in states for the last fifteen years and don't get passed most definitely, like Georgia has tried

to pass legal marijuana for fucking ever. You got arrested in Georgia because you got people that are sitting in those seats, You got people not voting, you got people that know, you got people that are sitting in those seats that are at the top of the fucking which the top of the these government seats. Any of these motherfuckers in Atlanta, Atlanta's Atlanta. When I lived in Atlanta, that was one of the first places I've seen in actual fucking KKK rally in Stone Mountain. That's one of

the it's plantations. Still in Atlanta, they're going to be some of the last people. They're going to be any any they're going to. Atlanta was the example I put out of my ass. I'm using it Atlanta because it's perfect because Atlanta is like Atlanta, and the Texas is the I mean, surprisingly Arizona, which not even surprisingly listen, Arizona, the South, the South exactly, the South are going to be some of the last ones to like get on

board with what we're doing. California is California, So it doesn't surprise me that like places like Jersey and different places like that are legalizing and in Atlanta is not because one Atlanta. They're Atlanta. So the motherfuckers that have been that are in these government positions, political positions in Atlanta, been there, that have been there. They're not in any rush for any fucking weed ship. They don't give a

fuck to them. Weeds still like crack, so they don't see any problem I don't give All these people are elected officials, all of them, most definitely all the people you're talking about were elected. So there was someone who, Bro, this is the thing. This is the reality. This is one reality as much as as much as what you're saying is a reality, right, but also is a like a very much of a reality, Bro. Is what you're saying, and what's being said has been being said for decades

nowe now decades now. Bro. No, black people have not made fucking progress. No, No, it's not a we convo. That's the thing, bro, and you my brother, but it's not a we combo. This particular combo ain't a we one. That's what I'm saying. Every fucking everything that they keep presenting for black people all has something to do with minority. It's ain't a minority convo. We're talking about American Africans that are descendants of slaves. We need ours. So until then, No,

I shouldn't vote for ship going on. There's going to be enough people out there that's going to do it for my soul because I'm one of the ones. I'm one of the ones, Bro, I'm one of the ones that are going to help revolutionize and save our people. Malcolm didn't vote. It was our people didn't vote, like them,

niggas ain't. Farah Khan ain't voting. Nigga ain't. But what you're saying is though one of the ones you're saying is, uh, if a presidential candidate, if a presidential candidate came to the table and was like, I'm pushing for reparations, here's my plan, then you would vote. Then you got Then you have my attention, you got us, you got my attention. Then you have me rallying up our people because we were rallying pushing for reparations. Which is how I know

they're ignoring us. Because if that wasn't the bar of analogies, I don't know what is. Little Pump ain't even being campaigning for Trump. That shits been two weeks long. Not for sure, this little nigga ended up on the fucking rally stage. It's crazy at the at the day of election type, Well, that's why we got to get So that goes to tell you they're ignoring us. They're ignoring us. So once we do got somebody like that, bro, because even Obama didn't get up there and do that. Why

because he could hands bye his back wasn't enough? Is there another? Because I think to the the biggest thing that I is a politician. So people that I know, you know, people who I'm close with, people I consider family, are affected by the justice system, right, And I think that that is a very important issue. Maybe maybe not on the level of reparations, but I think it's important though.

It's up there. It's modern day slavery, I agree. And and specifically prison for you know, prison for profits like people like this is privately owned prisons or you could buy I think you could buy stock in some of

these companies own prisons. I would not doubt it. So that is that So that's an to me, that's like an issue that can be can that that there's there's definitive politicians like Bernie Sanders, right, who's like a definitive politician that's like has a real plan to do away with that, right because we know that people of color are disproportionately locked up compared to white people despite the exactly right, So isn't that something that's worth stepping out

and voting for or like someone like Bernie who comes along who's got some practical like ideas, been fighting the saint like like like it just depends on one dancer still know. But the reason why I know is because it just depends on the state that American Africans are

in in this country. Man. That's gonna determine when I personally think that we should be getting out here in campaigning as a as like a free people, as like a as like it's fair like it's not fair still so to me when I'm going to the polls and I'm participating in this circus. To me, but in this theme that is supposed to be in a nation that's free and justice and unity and all this shit, it ain't that. So no, all right, that shit just ain't it. Bro.

Well listen, I mean, we all got our perspective, but the beauty is this, bro. I don't push for people not to vote. I push for you to do It's true to you if you are American African, do your research because if you do enough research, you're gonna know what I'm saying is one hundred percent true, and it's gonna hit your spirit and you're gonna get on cold. It's that's or you're not because you're not gonna do the research. You don't give a fuck, And that's okay.

Go vote and do your thing, because you're gonna feel you're gonna have that fight for black people and go vote and that's cool. Go do that and let's see what happens. All right. Well, look, your album is out, Colored Out? Now? When is the second album coming out? Man? Damn, I'm an chill because Drake dropping? So who knows? You're gonna wait tooll Drake? I dumb. I'm not gonna wait. I'm just gonna kind of like see where the wave goes. Yeah, and like not waiting fear, but exactly now to know

you feel me? Just see where that wave we're going. Hello, yeah, just push this at least push this the rest of the year. We're going crazy makes happening. You have heads. What's the website? People can go scoop up at c L R G E n T dot com. That's the label, man with the millennial motown. I'm coming bro. That's all about ownership. We go own everything. And it's audio push

a rap that it's like a brotherhood. But like, will there be ever be any more audio push projects albums or if you guys kind of move past that, it will be. But you know, I can't. I'm so in this world right now, I can't really say that's fair. You know what I'm saying, I'm just like locked in. I get with it, like when I used to see my favorite group say shit like this but not be broken up. I get it, like you know what I'm saying because it's like I'm in the world now, you

know what I mean that I can't. That's like true to me. I got a real message. I'll make an audio push out of a fucking win. Enough of my niggas got millions for ownership, you know well. Shout out to UH to you broke coming, No, you got some shit. Otan's got some ship on the way. It's my nigga. Hell of a hell of a tech deck writer that octane. Oh yeah, nigging crazy with the crazy.
