They don't sound too good, man. What's going on? I lunch monet this morning? Just so much going on that h I mean, I mean, this is all I had. I had to come to the show today because I didn't know how to, you know, absorb all this. And

she had a heart attack this morning. I got to call at six, and I've been with him every since and I just couldn't take it in the house no more because she was layding there on the floor for three hours. So just trying to be there for my uncle and and oh my uncles started coming and it was just, man, it was it was rough for me her. She was by herself when she was at home with

my uncle. He was getting ready for work. Uh. And they've been married forty years and uh, together first five years and then forty years of marriage, so poor total forty five years. He was getting ready to go to work and came downstairs and I was about to give her medication and she wasn't moving, so he tried to give her a resussitator, and then my little cousin Pool

came in and tried and she was gone. Av Lants came, put her on the floor, did the little ivy ship, and after that they just booked and we had to wait for the corners to come, and they took them three hours, so they came around chens something and that whole time we just sat there and just talk. Man, and I didn't know what I was gonna do, go all the way back to seven D or whatever, So man, I just came here and just sat down and set outside.

So I was totally unexpected. Or where she going having something? Where she she was having a cab catch. Yeah, And you know it's crazy because when my mom's passed, she was there and she was walking and doing her you know, pretty much doing her own thing. Four months after that she wind up sitting in a wheelchair and going through the little Diebetie thing and and and all, having all these other problems and you know, all of a sudden, now she she just have a heart attack and pass. Man.

So my my whole thing is to everybody out there, like I said on Facebook, man, you gotta we gotta start loving our family. Somebody gotta stand up and take accountability to be the leader for their family and get their family together, because man, you don't know who it is. And it's obvious that you know, we I'm losing young members in my family and the older people in my family, and you just don't know who who's next. So man, I love your t Joyce and rest in peace. Yeah,

you had a young nephew that got killed three weeks ago. Yeah, and and on that situation, I wanted to come back in and you know, you don't know what what what they into, uh, And as it came out, you know, he was doing some some out there, trying to be a gangster, which when I spoke on him, I was like, he don't get involved in none of that. And you can look at him and tell but you never know what these kids, Man, that he was involved in the game.

You know what I'm saying. He was hanging with game members. His mama didn't know really, but I think we all know something that's going on. You can't avoid it if you in the city like that. Some can some k so uh, he got involved in the situation that went bad, and you know he lost his LFE behind it. Um, it's a cool thing where you don't know what your family members out there doing, and all these little guys trying to emulate other people, feeling that the gang is

gonna gonna give you everything you need. Man, it don't give you. It don't get you none of that. There's only two places we go. We either get killed or we go to prison. Some of us lucky, some of us not, and all of us are not gonna be lucky. So just with all of that, and and you know, all my other family members just having health issues. Man, I don't see no end into it right now. So we're at that age where a lot of our aunts and uncles are at the age where to the last

chapter of their lives. Man, you know. So, I mean once you get into your late forties, early fifties, all your aunts and uncles are in their late sixties, seventies, and even eighties. And I mean I just lost my uncle in Puerto Rico. Uh, he just turned ninety and he passed from a stroke. So you know, this is a guy that that's a good life though. Yeah, he lived ninety years, born in nineteen twenty nine. He just

out in two thousand nineteen. But still I was just with him a few months before that and he was walking around and everything was good. You know what I'm thinking, Man, this guy got another ten years left. He don't make it to a hundred and then boom a few months later he had a stroke and passed, so I had to fly back out there. So yeah, man, I think it's just a function of our age and the age of the people that we grew up with, because they're they're all gonna be five years older than us. How

old was sixty six and today is her birthday. She died on her birthday, and the code thing about it is her birthday is February PIF. My brother birthday is February to PIF, And we haven't show the twins in our family that birthday is falls on the fifth two and this is how they have to celebrate their birthday. I mean, you know, I couldn't celebrate my brother's birthday because man, I lost my auntie today, you know what I'm saying. And her birthday is today, so it's it's

it's just crazy. So just trying to be strong and beat it from my uncle, and you know the way he was just breaking down and and you know, and trying to show his strength. You know what I'm saying, All of them that my uncle, Chris morncle Dinnis, you know, they were just coming in and and and couldn't take it. You know what I'm saying. I mean when I walked in there, I didn't I thought that was to your sugar mama laying on the floor. I didn't even know

that was heard. And I walked straight and then went into the bathroom. Then come out, it's it's her down there. So it was it was, it was, it's crazy. All right. Well, let's get right into this episode. Let's just start off with a couple of fact checks from last from last week week. We had m C eight. We had m C eight on the show last week, and a lot of people love that episode. If you haven't heard that episode,

that's episode forty three. That's just last week's episode, So go ahead and check that out on all the different podcast platforms. But and also there's one clip of that interview on Digital Soapbox Network for people that they haven't checked it out. But last week we were talking about iced Tea and I think he said iced Tea was from New York. I mean a lot of times people say iced Tea from New York, but technically he's from Newark, New Jersey. I think everybody knows that, but people just

say New York. It's Newark, New Jersey is right next to New York and um, well one is on one side of the river. Um New York is on the east side of the river. But yeah, ice Tea was actually born in Newark, New Jersey, so yeah, he has that East Coast influence. Now, something that's interesting is that um iceed teas first album came out in seven, but somebody sent me a link to one of a forty five song he recorded called the Coldest Rap on Saturn Records pressed here in Los Angeles, that came out in

three and uh, I listened to that song. I had never even heard of this song before. It sounds like a cool, little like player song. I don't know if I would call it gangster. I know you had you had a tough day to day. So I know you didn't. I sent you the link, but I know you didn't have time to listen to it because I wanted to ask you if you thought it was gangster. Maybe we'll talk about it next week. But to me, it sounds

more like player, player, hustler than gangster. But the fact that he had this song pressed and recorded the three was impressive because I was like, damn, because Todd T, the battom Ram five ice T pressed this song two years before that. So I mean, we really got to give our props to ice team. You heard him he gave. I mean those those were the uh the your your guys. That front man then was the ones that started this ship. So I mean you gotta give creditized T and all

of those cats. Just I mean he was doing it. Yeah, he was doing it. So I mean, I can't check that from him. I can't check them from him. He did his thing. I ain't never heard that song. It's crazy that So that song is actually older than the gangster rap song that ice T says inspired him, which is PSK by school ly D. That song came out in eighty five, so he was actually he recorded even prior to School ly D's albums. Was it just something he was messing around with that didn't he were apparently

didn't put it out there. So was this something just in the studio in the move, just messing around recorded and all of a sudden, man, yeah, right behind the hill. But to do that in three that was pretty huge. Also last week I had asked, uh, um m c A if if the tott T we know Totty T grew up in the same neighborhood as m c A did. That's Tracknew But I had asked some where did Spade grow up? And he had asked, uh, when his boys?

That was off Mike. When you watched the episode, you can't hear the answer, but I believe homeboys said he was from One five One Spade is from one, Totty T was from Track neew And I'm not saying that they were gang members bary the way everybody. I'm just saying these are the neighborhoods that they grew up in. I don't know if Toddy T ever banged. I don't know if Spade ever banged. I know I knew they

grew up in Compton in different neighborhoods. So um, yeah, Spade Spades grew up over there in one five one, which would be way on the other side of Compton from where you grew up, the way on the other side. Like, what's wrong with them both being from different neighborhoods and linking up and doing stuff together. That's something that people should have been looking at a long time ago. How they click and they live and we live over here and he live over here. If there was game bangage,

it would have been even better. Yeah, these cats find a way to make money. They wouldn't know this the bs They did that to make money. I mean, but I'm not sure if they um if Spade was actually banging r tidd t was But but it's either or whether there was or wasn't. They live in different neighbor neighborhoods. Guilty by association for most people, you know what I'm saying.

But to to be able to hook up and then make music together, and do they think I mean, like MC said, they wouldn't put the Who Has Done on wax Dead? Yeah, you know what I'm saying. They were just making music alrighty, So um, we got a couple of things in the news. I wanted to talk about

about a couple of weeks ago. And this is something that everybody who grew up in the streets of Los Angeles, Compton, Watts Long Beach, we already know this, but not every person that a police officer says is a gang member, it's really a gang member. And I'm talking about one of the stories that I wanted to cover that was in the l A Times, it was in k t l A News, it was pretty much all over the local news. But it turns out that the l A p D is identified twenty police officers that have been

identifying non gang members has gang members. They've been doing that for years. Years they've been doing and what they do when they started doing that, I think it was like eight one what they was doing it before them. But when they when they started doing us like that, they would get the camera, they would get their little cute cards and they had to have a file on everybody that walked or played on that block. And they were just youngsters, and they was getting you and then

getting your name and to identify you. So what they did is they didn't just keep those cards for like personal they put you in oss and the gang pod. You know what I'm saying. So now you labeled as a gang member, whether you liked it or not, just because you lived over here. So pretty much once again guilty by association, and that pretty much ruined a lot of cats that was, you know, moving out and going to college or or trying to get a job at the time. I mean, it wasn't good, but that's how

they identify you. That's how they put that teller. Now you just mentioned like the little card that they have um in court. They call that the f I card, the Field Interview card, and that's very important. That card is very important because prosecutors used those cards, those cards everywhere. Yeah, they follow you everywhere. So when a cop puts on the card self admitted gang member, what that cop is saying is, oh, the homie already told me he's from

the set. Now when I get a case and I talked to the dude, say all right, we got all these five cards, just says you said, self admitted. The guy will tell me I never told that, said you don't have to tell the police. That the police is gonna do what they want to do, and that's that's their way of getting you. You know what I'm saying. Now, once they fill out their court, I ain't did nothing in ten years. You don't think they would take that

card and say this could just do that game banging. No, that cart stays with you until you you get old and you move and come back to visit the who you you considered from Paru or Hoover or whatever. And they just do it like that. Well, that's a huge problem for kids who don't bang, who are now putting this database now you're entered into Now anytime that that gang comes up, your name is to come up at

somebody of interest. It's just somebody. It's just it's just a way to keep tabs on who's who, you know what I'm saying, regardless of what you're doing or how you doing it. And and and that's how they identify people. That's how they get you in in in the system. That's how they get you. And it's just all the set up. And they've been doing it for years and and ain't nobody ever complained about it. You know what

I'm saying. They used to do us like that, Like I mean, every time you see like the rookies, they here getting all their names and all this and then take a picture and they have a picture. They have your name, they have your mother, they know everything. You know what I'm saying. Back then, we didn't know no better, and you gave it up. But that that card right

there hunts you forever. Now. I was reading the article and my boys skipped Townsend was quoted in there saying that I like, I like that l ap D Chief More didn't hide it, he didn't put it under the rug um. This is the exact same thing that's been happening twenty years ago, and it's never went away. It became normal to officers over the years, so at this point they're comfortable with it, basically lying. It may not

be policy, but it's certainly the LPDS practice. And I ain't gonna say all of them, because there was some good ones out there that that that patrolled the knighthood, that that we said back and talked to. You know,

they chop it up. But the majority of them when they come through there, the gang unit like Graves and Jackson, them type of myers when they came through, that's all I was looking for, you know, Like I remember when they was just trying to do cops in the eighty two and uh, they came out with with the camera crew and all that and just trying to get my fuckers to play that part. We didn't do it because you're putting everybody out there and they didn't want the

bandanas on your pace. The whole nine. A lot of the ship that they do today we helped them create because we went along with half of that bullshit. We didn't know how to shut the funk up when he asked for your name and do all of that ship you would you would get your ass whoop if you didn't give up your name. So the odges against you at the beginning. But yeah, they tactics. It was a

month back there, man. Now what do you think about the l a p d Chief Chief more admitting to this problem and saying, we're gonna get to the bottom of this problem. Um, should we trust his investigation into this? He has he has already benched twenty police officers. He put them to death death duty. Well, I guess it's

like a demotion when you got death duty. Until they investigate all of these cards and these false admissions, not only investigate them, but investigate the cases that they dealt with the people that they arrested under post peace chesses because when you start lying, you you you go, you know how to lie. And we've seen in in on this phone where these cops man put dope on you. You know what I'm saying. There's a lot of brothers in prison for that. These cops, everybody, they are just

like us. They're born to to want to be feel a certain kind of weight. They gazes and thugs too. In regardless of what I'm glad you're saying that, are they going to get what I would get for lying on the police officers and putting his ship in gevity? No, they're not gonna get that. There ain't no justification for what. Look, if Chief Moore is gonna keep it real, what these

officers did was lie on an official police document. Now, if we went to the police department and filed a false report, we would get arrested in charge with a felony filing a false report. That's what these police officers. They filed false reports. They should all be fired and they should be at look, at least at whatever jail time. I'm filling a fall full support once. I don't know if that's she y'all. Just y'all try to stretch the

surface of it. If if a police officer commit any type of pride, even if it's a small one as as lying on the gun, and I don't even think that small, lying on the report, he should never be a police officer again. He shouldn't get no benefits for being a police officer again. If you can commit the same crime I get and get a slap on the wrist, I shouldn't go to jail. Why they're fucking doing that, you know what I'm saying that then everybody is well,

I think they should know funk that. Take them, lock their ass up because you are here the servant protect. Once you violate that, you violate my rights and everything else. Why are you being a cricket cop? You go against everything, ethnic codes, the whole nine. So why should you be allowed uh to sit at the destance still deal and do police work. You shouldn't be. You shouldn't be. You should be at home and the motherfuckering unemployment office lad Well,

they still gotta investigate. I don't expect the chief to fire them on the spot because maybe one or two of them are getting are innocent you know what I'm saying. And if they if they if they put them on the desk, they know something, They're they're part of something. And and it's just too much slapping on the risk man. And and we don't even we didn't even paying attention to it. We allowed this ship to happen, and they're letting these motherfuckers get off. The police is just like me,

your motherfucking criminal. And if I sucked up, you'll be wanting justice. So everybody should be wanting justice. I'm so glad that this story came out in because in court I've actually testified where I said that I don't believe the information on these FI cards are accurate. I think this information is false. So what is it you see on them cards that that get your eyes when they say self admitted gang member? And then I talked to the client himself and he tells me I never had

a conversation with that cop. And when he tells and I'm looking at him and he's sincere as heck, but he's telling me I never even said a word to that cop. But the cops says, oh yeah, I talked to him and he told me he's from such and such. But look at this, that's a lie. But for some people, some people at game bankers they associate with and they

can honestly say that. But having the motherfuckers that sold the block, such as myself, it will be Yeah, if you if you really really from there, that's one thing. But if if I'm if I'm hanging with somebody and the police pull up, you're gonna put on the FI card that I'm self admitted. I didn't say nothing to

you about that. They have to identify you as such because you you just pulled you over with all these cats, so you have to be But but when they put that on there, but they could ask me, how are you from? Are you from the hood, and I say no, I'm not from the hood. So they're supposed to put on the card denies he's from the hood, but they're not. They're never right denies he's from the hood. We ain't

gonna forget that. The police can do anything they wanted to do by cam and all this other they get caught down. But think about in the past, when motherfucker's are sitting up in the penitentiary right now, and that that didn't do nothing, that wouldn't sunk with the police and told the police kiss my ass. Now the police got a personal vandetta, but this guy they don't. They don't put drugs on this cat. And now they're doing felic in Bay Time. It's a lot of true stories

in that motherfucker. It's a lot of bad, quickly ass cops out here that's locking niggers up. Just no GP because they got poked my brother that that wouldn't with that bullshit. You can't play that and you ain't from the handcuffed me ship. They got scared. Now they feel like, oh man, I looked like I asked in front of my partner, you got motherfucker's what I'm saying is you got officers that that they played the field, they played the game, and to be feeled to feel like they've

been disrespected. It goes right back to being nothing with a badge. So they're gonna make an example out of you. Well, like Reggie said, now that everyone's got a phone and a camera and we can document certain things that we couldn't document in the eighties and nineties, well, I mean

it's it's it's it's working but slow process. But you see these motheruckers trying to figure out a way how to get around that body cap, turning it off and turning it back on with the dumb ass Yeah, you know, but figure a way to get around that body cam. And once they figured a way to get around a body cap, it's gonna go right back to the same bullshit. Well,

listen to this quote unquote. The self admission has always been a particularly convenient tool because until the advent of the body camera, it's been difficult for an alleged gang member to disprove his gang membership. So you're right, it's all on camera. So when this cop is filling out his five card, it's being recorded. He wrote, self admitted. But the camera just captured the dude saying I ain't from nowhere, and just because you look like just because

you live here, you you already guilty by association. Period. Uh a young black cat, you don't ukn't line tell me you ain't no game member. This is the police mentality. Fuck, if you each other the truth, they don't care if you each other the truth or not. It's what they see. It's their perception of what they're doing right now. At this point, he hanging with Mom, James and and dolomated case. The Billy by this guy has to be affiliated, he has to be These cats wouldn't deal with that guy.

So they come up with their own conclusion and that's why they do that. And these conclusions they end up coming into court. Like when I said in a court case a couple of times I said I don't believe these cards. I had to judge and the prosecutor rolling their eyes at me, like, really, you think these cops are gonna lying on these cards. I'm like absolutely, then, you know, and a jury sitting there and looking at me.

So if you was ever a juror on one of these cases where I testified that these FI cards are are just dishonest, go look at the l A Time January l A Times article, because it's just proving everything that we've already said for years. And you're right, I'm glad we're talking about this. Every every brother in my situation has dealt with the police. A lot of cats go to jail just on GP because of the police, some of them, some of them are bad. I'm just

having this conversation Monday. You know, It's it's crazy how we get treated It's crazy how this type of ship come up and they find it out the police and put people in jail. People they don't put drugs on motherfucker's But those are the cops that don't really want to do their job, but they do it their way. And there's a whole lot of them out there that do it their way and at art at at our expense, and and the only person is getting hurt behind that

is is us. You know, I can't go in here and the jail is gonna believe me because I'm a gang member. That that I'm discredited already for being a game member shouldn't be. We gotta change the game. Just because you're a game member doesn't mean you're lying about exactly, so you're already guilty. Then they get a jury, and the jury, the jury is gonna believe what the police

just sitting over here talking about. In case. I'm trying my hardest, but you ain't gonna be at all over in every state again, You're right, you know what I'm saying. So if we had nine hundred Alexes, if we could put them in there and and just go to different it'll be it'll be a different thing. But we don't have nobody to fight for us. All we get is a public defender. And I don't think I ever seen one that honestly give a funk about if I go to jail, I'll get out of jail. Well, today's public

defenders different from I've been out of prison. So I don't know. Some of these public defenders are really because now there's incentives for them to win, for them to be cases, for them to be successful. Um, so they I've seen a lot of good public defenders. I don't want to throw the public defenders under the bus. In fact, they got the alternate Public Defender's office and the Public Defender's office and both those officers. I've met attorneys that called me up and say, I want to fight for

this guy. I think he's innocent or or I think the charges are trumped up, And I said, let's do it, and you should have a fair DA to feel the same kind of way. It shaid, we're not gonna go forward with this case, but you know, like I know that the d A, the public defender, and the judge and the police worked together. I do this case in that case because it's minor. But this guy, whether he did or not. Let's just send him in jail for eight or not much. And you can't tell me that.

Ain't know how the system go. There's a lot of cats sit in there. It is fucked up, a lot of truth. You're gonna make me. You're gonna take eight nine much of my motherfucker life and you know it ain't guilty, but you just gonna make me sit in the county jail. Anyway, The police just sucked up. Yeah, the system is kind of messed up where because the

system was just based on a police police system. So your public defender usually is gonna try to convince you to take a plea deal because they believe you're guilty. They assume you're guilty when you might want to fight it, like for example, in the um Aubrey Berry case a few years ago. This is the guy that shot and killed a rapper and the Beverly Center and then he got caught at the airport trying to go back to Texas. Okay, his lawyer tried to get him to take a nine

year deal. He said, look, I shot to do but I did it in self defense. He was like, okay, but they want to give you nine years I think you should jump on the nine years. He said, I'm not taking the nine years. He went to trial and he won, he got acquitted. But I'm askine if you would have jumped on those nine years, you know, and that's what they get paid for it. Take the deal. I can move on to the next case. Like I said, Man,

the the load will give a funk about you. But when it comes to them, they got all of these they got money for them to find for this, this this croocket cop that that just killed two people. They're gonna, they're gonna they got money for your defense lawyers. Yeah, well give me some of that. So I'm just telling you, man, it's totally different from from from us to be a in the system and not a part of the system. It's totally different. You see, I see everything from over

here on this side of the table. One way. It all depends on how the judge fucking feel coming in there that morning. Don't want to be their wife, ain't giving no nookie, and he mad at the world. So mmate is the worstest in the last motherfucker you want to see, especially in m a that don't want to accept or take a deal with a case that's been going on too long, and he constantly pulled over. They get mad. They get mad because they know it's costing money.

And then now they want to talk ship to you and your lawyer, and the d A is sitting up there eating it up. But the d ain't know the whole time. Ro motherfucker. But just to get that money. And if I could get a conviction because it's looking good, ship, I'm with it. That's how they want to. If they convict you, whether you write a road man, they don't care. That's all they wanted that conviction. But yeah, I think all these twenty cops, all their FI cards need to

be investigated, all their arrests need to be investigated. And I actually don't believe that FI cards should not be used in jury trials. I don't think they have enough credibility. I don't think the information on those cards should be trusted. And I think all FI cards should just be completely The police report, the reason why you got me and how you come and the whole night shouldn't be believed. If I'm guilty, and if I'm innocent into improving guilty,

treat me. Treat me like that, don't throw me in no mother case and tell me fu me, don't don't throw me in no case and with my ask when I don't want to get up for breakfast, don't don't bring me the court and no goddamn shackles. You treat me like a convict, like I'm guilty of something. So all that in liostent before you prove me guilt me ship know that ship out the window? You you you you you do something or you don't do something. You're

going through the you going through the process period. They fuck up cards and everything. Look at this goddamn Donald Trump. This dude got a quitted of everything. They're telling us that he can do what the funk you want to do, And here we are sitting there killing our motherfuck itself and going through all of this other bullshit. Or some man people wake up and smell a coffee. This ain't our world, this ain't your world, and they ain't gonna never be ain't gonna never be man, all right? Um.

And other news. I don't know if you heard about this story, James, but Nicki Minaj's brother was sentenced to twenty five years to life in prison for raping and a eleven year old why why should we talk about him? Uh? I mean it's all over the news because okay, I mean the go ahead. I was just his name Gelanni Mirage is Nicki one of the biggest female rappers on the Earth's brother. You know. I wouldn't give a who Nicki minaj is. She ain't got nothing to do with it.

She wouldn't there when it happened this dude raped eleven year old girl. I wouldn't even break I wouldn't even put that type of ship on the news. I just take him to that. That's the motherfucker. You're going cut his ship off and throw him somewhere in the desert. Well, you gotta let people know what the punishment is when you when you when you had a pocket like that, twenty five years, when did you get to life or

you just got twenty five years. I think if you're getting out, he'll get out again and to do it again. I don't but I concentrated, man, Well he'll be I don't know what in uh in New York he got sent to twenty five years. He's forty one years old, so that's sixty six years old. I did only sixty six will be able to do that again. Uh, you don't usually get a lot of sixty six year old guys charged with rape at that time. Let me chell,

you gonna stay hard. You're gonna you're gonna exercise, and you're gonna walk to yard and you're gonna stay hard. You're gonna you're gonna be able to fucking and do whatever you want to do while you're in there. You're gonna play with yourself. You're gonna do all that. Sixty or six years old, he's still a young man. Well, um, it'll be if he does do it again, it'll be a long time. He tried to get his uh, his

conviction overturned, unsuccessful. There was DNA evidence. The girl even testified. Um, his DNA was in that child. They said the DNA was on the child's pajamas and they should have killed him. They should have killed him. Um. They don't really have any lengthy or detailed articles about the specifics of the case. I didn't follow it, but um, just what it did is enough. Yeah, And when you go to prison for this type of conviction, you gotta you gotta watch out

for everybody else. Well, I've been on prison a little time back there. Yeah, you was in trouble. Yeah, you you come there, child molester, beating up with mama, killing uh somebody mama or something. Yeah, you you had problems. But nowadays, I don't know what it's like it. Man. Well you know, most of the prisons now have safe safe areas for for people like Gilani. But I mean, just like this case, I mean, we pemper and motherfucker's

this really don't need to be pempered. We we were putting them in jail, and then you're talking about you don't want to feed him up for twenty five years. This dude took something from the eleving year old child. Eleving year old child? Do he deserve to live? It's just like that's that's that's man's The eleven year old girl actually testified in the trial and she said it happened. Whatever happened to her happened repeatedly. She said, okay, in

twenty should be repeated multiple time. Break his ass off. I mean, there's just no time for it, for that ship and come on, man, that's that's the ultimate saying to touch your child. Man. Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't get an l on that sentence. It just says no. Actually it says he was sentenced Monday to five years to life. That's so, yeah, he did get to life. You can't come home and do that no more so they can just keep on denying his parole if they want. Well,

we can take this story and roll with it. Like on some some we gotta protect that kids ship. I mean, people gotta be accountable for their children. Know where your children are that, pay attention to your kids, Pay attention to the fucking people you leave your kids with, especially men your boyfriend. Don't leave your daughter with your boyfriends ship like that. You just meant a dude two weeks and now you off in Vegas. But you leave your child with this, with this cat you've been with for

two weeks. Even if you leave in your kid with quote unquote somebody that's family, you gotta be careful, no matter if it's an uncle, it's easier. I mean, you just gotta be more careful with your children. And then especially if your kids can talk eleven years old. Your kids shouldn't be afraid to tell you nothing from one time. It should never be repeated nothing. He should never get an opportunity to do that. But you gotta teach you

to your kids. If you get touched or feel a certain kind of way about a man's touch, our female touch, you need to tell me, You need to tell somebody. You know what I'm saying, aren't are our generation? Gets up? Go out, party, come home, don't go in the room and check on the kids to tuck them in. No, no kisses, No, I love you. We we need to get back to nurturing our kids. We don't do that ship, you know what I'm saying. We just let go and then these kids is getting raped, and these kids is

getting kidnapped. Man, we ain't gonna be shipping another howny years. We might not even be here. Well, that's a conversation that a lot of parents don't have with their kids because I guess it's uncomfortable for a lot of parents to bring that up. Well, you know, man, you have to talk to your kids about uh being touched. You have to let your kids know right now. And I'm teaching my grandson the nine one one. Anything happening to Papa or anything you see wrong, you tell me. Anybody

mistreats you, you tell me if you feel uncomfortable. And somebody says something to you the wrong way. Tell Papa. Papa is the one. I'm your protector. That's why I'm here, and that's that's my conversation with him on the daily. I want him to tell me if somebody touch him, if I left him with my aunties, are my uncle's or one of my homeboards just to go to the store, you know, because having these cats on out here nowadays on the d L like a motherfucker and then they're

blowing this is that niggas. So I definitely wanted to tell me if something is out of line or he feels a certain kind of way. So I think we had to get back and and I don't think I can use the word get back to teaching our kids because a lot of us wouldn't talk two protect. You know what I'm saying. None of us was, you know, we didn't learn that. I didn't grow up on some I love you mom, I love you dad. I didn't.

I didn't have that. So but common sense, common sense if if if a lion came at an elephant and trying to take their baby, that that elephant is gonna die trying to protect their child. Yeah, it's just natural instinct. Fucked up terminology, but it's it's just what they do. It just kicks in. But see we sold out here in one of party and get get get get gainsted and the who cheat and I only I don't disclude

myself or none of it. I said we all the time, get out here and we're paying attention to us having fun and not opposed to our kids. Now that kids is running the goddamn mink. We gotta get to our kids. Man, that's our future. And man, if we don't do that, all is lost. Well, you know, in California, I don't think. I don't know if other states have this, but you could look up anybody who's ever been convicted of rape, child molestation, all of that through the California's Megan Law website.

So if you if you're a California resident or you're just interested in it, go to Megan's Law dot. Don't tell them to do that, don't listen, don't tell them to do that, because I'm gonna tell you why. It's gonna be your neighbor. It's gonna be there, it's gonna be that little cat that's seventeen a closer street. You're gonna be shocked because photos the lights is gonna brighten up all the lights. You're whole goddamn neighborhood is gonna be pedophile. Don't do that. I don't know your whole

neighborhood won't be James is exaggerating a little bit. But you type in your zip code, go to the Megan's Law website, typing your zip code where you live at, and just peruse the pictures and you're gonna I guarantee you you're gonna know one or two people on this on this website or more. But they tell you exactly what they've been charged with. So some people have been charged with with sexual assault, which is kind of vague. Some people have been charged with rape, which is very clear.

Some people have been charged with lewd and lascifious acts with a person fourteen or under. That's very clear, you know. So they put everybody in here. In fact, if you ever went to jail for pissing in public, you're being here too, because that's a sexual offfense that that don't even I wouldn't even put that in there. But if you even with that, this is how this is how they label it. Some cats are pet of owls. But some cats. You got cats out there that have uh

circumstances to why they're in there. You know what I'm saying. You have some cats that Uh I'm twenty three, she's seventeen. MoMA didn't want me to data. They called the police. Automatically, I get charged with this. Automatically. If I get charged with it, I go there. Never touched a woman without thinking, sit in my life. So I'm looking at a guy

that's in here that didn't even touch a woman. He was convicted of possessing um, possessing material of minor and sexual conduct like a photo or magazine or a picture, possession of controller obscene matter depicting a minor. So he had a picture or photo of a miner. He got charged and he's in the database now. Um Like that's like if you watched UM. There was a porn star from years ago named Tracy Lords. She was fifteen years old,

but she told everyone she was grown. Now, if you still have some old Tracy Lords vhs or DVDs at your house and the police come, you were in possession of trial pornography even though you technically you thought you was watching an adult movie. They have a loophole for it. But the interesting thing about this is, and I don't mean to talk about the white people, but they made one that's I mean, they were the top of the list like this on some real raping and opening the

ship with a with a raincoat on it. But they do ship like that. But everybody, everybody is guilty of the ship that does do that type of ship. I think you have to be a sick minded motherfucking man a five year old child and touching you know, you're gonna damage that scene, you know what I'm saying. So you got some sick as people out here, that's undeniable, but you got some guys in there that don't that

shouldn't be it. I been there. Yeah, they kind of just group everybody and look, I put my zip code in and their sixty eight offenders, sixty eight defenders, and and unfortunately I went through this before and I knew two of them. I knew two of them personally. Would you invite them to your house? What you talking about? Man? I was like, damn, you know, without this, without this, you never know what you're dealing with. You never know

who you invite to the table. You know what I'm saying, so it was a good thing they have, but don't abuse the the the platform they got because some of them cats really don't deserve to be in there. Yeah, I feel you on some of these offenses. But um, it's a great tool. I don't know how many. I don't know what other states have anything like this. And you know this was inspired by Megan, she was a victim years ago. So that's what I call it, the

California's California Megan's Law website. And uh, it's pretty it's pretty on point. You get every you get all the information, you get their address, you get a photo of them, their birthday, all their arrests, their tattoos. Everything is Hey, I think you should be exposed if you're doing that. Yeah, absolutely you have to be because you got you got cats out here having babies, body daughters, which a friend of mine, um in Vegas. You know her daughter has

a child by her dude. You know what I'm saying, you're really doing this kid like that, You really the father this child. He should be killed, he should be shot. I just that's something that you shouldn't go on. Slana, Well, I don't think any state has the death penalty for any of these sexual offenses, as you just mentioned, they should be killed a shot. But I think there's a lot of people who agree with you. I mean, if you if you just just think what you're killing when

you when you rap a child. What is going through your mind when you got this little kid doing this to this child? Did you see that movie A Time to Kill with Sam Jackson when his tine year old daughters, he said, I'm about to kill these people. To hear your father, he's supposed to. I'm your protector, you know what I'm saying. I that's my responsibility to protect my daughter, to protect my sons, my grandchildren. You have to kill.

If you don't, then just let anybody do anything they want to do, Tom Alex, you shouldn't even be able to just play it. You shouldn't even bear to have kids. Well, I want to ask the people out there, do you agree the death penalty for people convicted for a sexual offense with a minor. I'd love to know what the people think out there on that one. All right, So

another story in the news, James. I know you didn't get a chance to check it out because today, well this Indianapolis rapper was given a hundred and eighty years sentence and the police were able to solve this crime because the lyrics in a song put all the pieces together for the police. And UM, twenty one year old rapper from Indianapolis was just sentenced to a hundred and

eighty years Uh. He was convicted of robbery and murder stemming from a two thousand seventeen triple homicide, and he mentioned details of the case that only a person that was there or the police would know in a rap song. So um, when you're ready to get it Uh. The song mentioned swimming trunks, which one of the victims was wearing when he was shot. The prosecution said that the song is pretty consistent with the facts of the case,

and we pretty much broke it down lyric by lyric. Now, I really don't like speaking on cases where I don't get to witness what happened or read the evidence. But if everything is true here, I think some of these rappers and some of the people on social media are just putting too much of their business out in public and it's just getting out of control. Everybody want to be somebody. I get it, but don't be a goddamn food. You're making money, that's your business. Make that your privacy.

You should not here putting money and guns on the table. The FBI is watching this ship because they see more black people on social media sucking up and fighting and shooting and chasing cars and putting putting the drive bys on on on the YouTube and Facebook and ship. It's only right there, go and find these cats. They stupid as a motherfucker putting their life in the media like that. That's just basic stuff that you put out there, like oh, I'm eating dinner at such and such place right now.

What if somebody looking for you or somebody mad at you want to do something to you and have somebody Yet they wrote up on them just because they didn't put it out there like that. Because Instagram and Facebook has has ways of geo tagging your posts and geo coding where you're at, even just on some regular stuff. I don't I don't suggesting geo code, like you put

a picture. Let's say we take a picture right here, and with geo code, we put the address where we at, so someone can look at the picture and hit the picture and the map will come up on their phone, Like oh, James Analyx is on such a such street right now, let's pull up. It could be just some fans. You know, I'm not saying they want to do something negative, but let's put the picture. You know, we might have

thirty people pulling up here because they know we're here. Now, your phone does that too, if you do it, if you post it. I don't know how, but I'm just saying, there's so many things that we do on social media that we got to be careful for. For example, my daughter was on Snapchat and she sent me something and then I told my daughter, you just told me where you live because I saw she did it from home. So I said, are you are you snapchatting this to

all your friends? Because if you are, they know where you live now, and she she turned it off. She went in there, How did your daughter she's eighteen now,

but this happened when she was sixteen or seventeen. You gotta monitor your kids on Snapchat will also geo code what you do if but you can go in your settings and you can change all of that, but most people don't because the default is to have it on, to turn it on, So you gotta be careful with all that even even with that man just comment says, just taking your phone, go to your camera and video and ship. Don't video ship and didn't put it out there.

You don't know who like you or whatever. That's just the stupidest move for a criminal for you to be out here with all this technology that they have. Everybody out there know that the Feds serve Facebook and all of these other whatever things you just said, Instagram and ship like that or whatever. They served this ship and they look for this ship. And this guy is not the only guy that got time for for a crime committed.

And now that he's he got convicted for it. The song the song convicted him of this murder because he's telling on himself and they used that ship in court. However, whatever it takes to get you, I'm gonna get you. Now. If y'all stupid motherfucker's wanna put your life story on on on motherfucker on a on a rapping and share I killed nine niggas, then be ready to go when the fans come and get you and say we know you killed him. You're talking about ship that happened in

the case, YadA, YadA. Now Yah's just go it ain't even worth it. Man, At least he can say he was real. His name is Troy Ward, a k A. T. Ward. And the song that the prosecution used, uh, it was called two Chains. Oh he wrapped over to chains I'm Different song. You remember that song I'm Different. So he took that instrumental, wrapped the song on top of that instrumental, and basically told on himself. So what makes you real? What I'm saying? He's real? Like he rapped about killing

and he was really doing it. He was really about what he rapped. Where most of the time when we hear rappers rap about doing dirt and putting in work, they're telling a story. Yeah they're not. It's not to be taken literal. And the situation they are doing it today, they're taking it serious today and and and this is why these cats are getting convicted of it. Don't put no ship out there like that, man, Rappers, it just went to a whole different place. You don't even want

to listen to this ship no more. And these guys listening and bumping and bouncing and riding in cars smoking weed and driving crazy. Then you asked why y'all pulling me over? Come on man coming since well, unfortunately this youngster years old. I'm sure he's regretting anything that he

rapped about or posted online. And here's another thing. Whenever I get cases, especially homicide cases, what comes with all the discovery are the cell phone records of every defense then and the cell phone records usually put you at the scene of a crime. And we already know. Now, don't take your phone if you know you're about to do some dirt. Leave your phone at home. No need

to take the phone. You know, there's no need because the police are going to subpoena T Mobile, Sprint, all these companies and they're gonna give them your life path for that for that month. So no one for the future anything. And however you feel, even how do you feel about any individual on Facebook, don't don't hit nobody on Facebook talking about Yeah, nigga, catch you, I'm gonna kill your punk as YadA, YadA YadA. They suffering this ship, they dumped this ship down such such come up killing

they come to get you. This is how serious these these people are. Because they served this ship. I don't want to run across from my sha. They're about to go kill the president YadA YadA. So they have this system where bigs and something more from it when they get like cherrors, streats and ship like that, because that's what we do it. We're doing terrorist threads were from here. I'm not a terrorist, but that's what they call it now.

So my fuckers, you gotta be careful. So when that ship big off all these different towers you watched forty eight hours your asses out. Let me give a little game to people out there. You can get what's called a cell phone signal blocker bag. So if you want to go somewhere but you don't want the world to know you went there, you don't want t mobile all in your business, you just take your phone and you put it in that little bag, you close it. It's made out of a special material and it just blocks

all signal communication. So at that point your phone is literally dead. And then when you're ready, take it out of the bag. As simple as that. You could go buy one of these bags on eBay for like ten dollars and it will block your signal and no one will know where you're going where. It doesn't mean you're doing anything crazy, doesn't mean you're doing anything illegal. It's just if you're like me, I covet my private my privacy.

I don't need the government. I don't need T mobile or Sprint or a T n T or boost Mobile all up in my business. So that's just a little game out there for you guys who don't know how to block your phone. Because if you just turn your phone off, the signal is still communicating with the satellites. You need to put it in a special bag that blocks that signal. Man, Just get a pucket, put your fear in your pocket with some rice, and put your phone in that in your pocket with that race you

ready for a couple of questions, James. Yeah, Before we answer some of the fans questions, I just want to remind everybody that you can catch James on Facebook at the one with the red Harley on it. Go check him out. And then on Instagram you're at B I, G, G JT S thirty six. Can you give us an update on those death Row T shirts? Did you make some new ones? Well, I'm still getting with it. Rid of the ones that I had. I had so many, but I'm been in the mix with the hoodies and uh,

the guy that I got doing them. We had a little problem. So I have somebody else doing the hoodies. I mean, you know people won't. I'm teen dollars for doing the hoodies and none. I got a better deal in a better place to do them. Uh, they're becoming soon. I changed it just to death row, not death row records your US see just death row on it. I'm bringing got this idea for the sleeves, the whole nine.

So you see something different about four or five months and how do we how do they get in touch with you on those just just uh, what I'm doing now is through my phone, not on nine four one, nine zero three four or five when they when they hit, I'm gonna hit everybody here on Gange the chronicles like I did a couple of weeks ago. Um show the shurts and let the first ten people I'm and this is way I gotta be for for real, for real, the first ten people, the first five people can get

a shirt a hoodie. Uh. The reason why I say that is because I'm sending shurts to Australia. I'm sending shirts to to the U K. And the post is just thirty bucks on this ship, sending it out of out of state. And that's on me because I said I'll do it, but you know, it can get expensive, you know what I'm saying. And yeah, but it's it pays for itself though, so that I really don't complain. But if I get five and six of those like like I just did, I have to said I have

to do too, and then too and then too. Bless me with the well nine O nine four one four zero three four one nine three four or five and and I'm gonna get a shout out to my boy, uh Devin Bennett. You know, this brother called me and had a cool conversation with me. And I like having these conversations because it shows me that people appreciate what we're doing here. And you know, he was talking to me and he's you know, just like you know a few others that my conversation have changed and he chim

c things in a different way. That's what I'm this is what I'm doing this for. This ship ain't about no money. This ship let me let me hold up. Let me literally, it's about being conversated for what you do. But it's not about it. It's really not about the money. It's this here. The gamest chronicles allowing me to tell my story and to to to tell my point of views on a lot of ship that I've been involved with.

And I can honestly answer any question and speak on anything because if I've been there, I can I can actually tell you on someone hunting. So this little guy gave me a lot of input and and he supported the shirts. He got people want the shirts and getting at meet people people people, his friends at his job or whatever. But and shouts out to you, Mr Bennett, You you one hunting and I'm gonna stay one hunt in which and that shot was actually inspired by one

of our episodes, our previous episodes. I would have been episode number five on May second. What more can you take? So if you need to the podcast, go back and listen to that episode and you'll get a little history and understanding of where this death row t shirt that James is producing has come from. And if you're looking for me on any of the social media platforms, I'm at alex Alonso one zero one. I'm usually on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, but you could also find me on my

But let's get into a few fan questions. James Um. This one's more of a statement

rather than a question. But one man Army sixty seven on Instagram said, Orlando Anderson often gets praised for killing Tupac, but Eric Holder has been getting vilified for killing Nipsey Hustle. I'm not really sure I agree with that. I don't think people ever praised Orlando Anderson. I don't think nobody praising Orlando Anderson. Everybody is pretty much saying that he did it. He's the culprit yeah, I don't think nobody

is like giving his props. But he's dead. He's dead, and I don't I don't see that, uh what they call him shitty couse? Eric Holder, Eric Holder. I mean everybody got to look at the way it was done, how it was done, kicking the man, coming back and shooting.

I mean this, when you have a I don't give a mentality and people see that, they against you already because they feel like, you know, you just didn't give a funk about you know, human being his life, and that's how people perceive ship like that when they see it like that. So it's the same thing. They both took somebody life and the consequences. It's gonna be just as such. Orlando was gone by by, you know, living that way, and this young man that happened to get

caught and they're dealing with it that way. I don't think it was you know, people would say, are are to say one was good. I'm we're glad this would happen, but then we love you, but we hate you. It ain't nothing like that. I don't see that. Where where that where he's getting that from? Um, you know, Orlando was never arrested never charged and Eric Holder was arrested immediately,

so there's a difference there. But I don't know if people were praising Orlando, understand, I think everyone is pisted at Orlando and said all the Pox fans are well, I mean, and you got a lot of them. The only people that might be saying, like, be looking out, ah, yeah home and you got one. It's the homeboys, you know what I'm saying. But you know, certain crib neighborhoods that didn't like you know, people that didn't like it, that they might see it that way. But other than that,

I mean, just just just people in general. I don't I don't and I didn't see that at the beginning nor at the end of that dudes like or or at the end of this situation that with with shitty cuz are Holder. Um, I don't see that. I don't see. It's no difference. Y's no difference at all. I mean, Eric got arrested immediately, and that's probably why he seems

like he's getting vilified more. Um. In the beginning of right after Pox murder, there was a lot of unanswered questions where people didn't know who did it, you know, I mean, sure y'all knew, but the world didn't know. But the world knew immediately when Nipsey got killed. This guy is is allegedly the one that did it, so and that that that was my case right there, So why would people glorify one and and and hate the other? I mean, didn't nobody know that that Orlando we're still

talking about. People still don't believe it was in Atlanta, So why be mad at Atlanto? And that is there's a lot of people that don't believe that Eric Holder kill Nipsey. They think it's a conspiracy connected to Dr Sabe. I've heard so many different conspiracy and you're gonna keep hearing them because people want to want to be all for number one. That ain't my business. I ain't gonna

even try to bite it into that one. I don't know Eric, Uh, I know you lost two guys that was that was pretty much big with our cousin in the rap industry, that that was going places and doing ship You know what I'm saying, that's the tragic You know what I'm saying. These guys just happen to get caught or this guy happened to get killed by you know, doing what do you do best? You know what I'm saying. So it's it's it's it is what it is, alrighty Uh.

Here's another question from Jordan's t Corpus on Instagram. If Tupac had got locked up and was sent to California prison when he was on death row records, would park Road would have road with the par rou Car in prison? Why or why not? Well? I think I probably wouldn't have had no choice but the right cause since he got got the mab put on his body. So if he went to prison in California, then the homies was going to accept him because everybody already out there know

who were rolling with. So definitely he even went with the pole rules. He had to roll with the b car and and and he'd been doing this thing. Uh, if he just saw some cats he knew or something, he probably would have had it. But yeah, he definitely would have been with with the Bloods because he branded himself. Now what if he would have went with the four on five because he has a strong connection to the Bay Area. Um, would that been possible or do you

think that his idea? And he was too strong with the pi Rousse he got four and there. But what Park was doing at the time and then put the mob on his body, he labeled as as as one of us, regardless of how any mothercker in the hood field, even me, regardless of he go to prison, just say, you go to prison and run into the homies, oh pocket, everybody gonna let him know Park coming. So he's definitely identified with the Peat with the bloods That's just what

he riding with, you know what I'm saying. So whatever he doing on the streets, he's gonna have to taking it. He's gonna have to do that in there. And he probably would have been posted up with Sugar if they were in prison at the same time. I don't think they probably would have put them together. He probably would have been some ship. But even even if they did, I mean I don't think. I don't know that that one.

I don't know, but I definitely think that he would have had to ride with the B car because he was doing this thing on the street with that he took that the person with him. Okay, I agree. I think he would have posted up with the par Use on whatever yard he was on, or been with the bloods um you know, especially during those death rowds years because that's who he was kicking it with for that whole eleven months. Well, you gotta look at it. Tupac

and kicked it with bloods and cribs. But when when when he went to the strength, when he when he took it to another level, when he put the hood on him and now he represented Compton and then these guys everybody is believing. You know, Tupac, Tupac from the hood. Now Tupac go to jail. Tupac gonna have to live up to that. And he's gonna have to ride with that car. Everybody know he coming. So for him to be a big guy, I mean a high profile cat

and no, and no other way around it. He'd have been straight straight PARTU alright, uh we a question here from Seymour on Instagram. This guy asked, James, you said you weren't going to talk to Glad, but then you did another interview with him. Um, I said I wouldn't go talk to Blad, according to Seymour, and I don't

I don't remember if you said anything like that. I never said I wouldn't talk to For number one, I mean I said a lot of ship and and I've been misunderstood on a lot of a lot of ship. But I don't have a reason not to talk to Blad. Uh. Blad is a very good person, good cool, We're really good. So I don't have a reason not to speak with Blad or or never say I'll do an interview. But I kind of remember when we were talking about the you know, people getting paid for doing the interviews or whatever.

If if a person, and what I meant with that was if if I come and do an interview with you and you don't think I'm worth that, you ain't gonna give me nothing. But if it makes money, then you should come and say here I did, we're real good it on this here that if you don't want to do that, I have a choice not to funk with you or not. It's it's my choice not to funk with you on certain questions that you asked me. Is my choice to say I don't want to answer that.

It's it's up to me. So I think you missed understeal me my brother. Uh, I have no reason not to talk to Black. So yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Your third interview with Lad just came out. I know you don't really go back and watching watching none of them. He posted one about two three days ago and then posted another one. So right now, there's about three or four clips of your third interview with lad So I had that third interview go. It was

totally different from the first two. I mean, you know, I thought he was gonna get in depth about some of the ship that was going on and and recap some of the ship that we did discuss. You know, I really thought he was gonna talk about or get get more into it about my pops, my relationship with my pops and how that went, uh my mom's But no, he kept it like on the smooth level. I see one of the videos that is titled um, I mean

he called you mob James here. I know you don't like being called He's mom James on a white woman calling him the N word. I'm assuming that's on your trip to Australia that we talked about here on the Gangster Councles. Okay, alrighty another question here? Do you have any I guess this is inspired by our interview with m C eight last week because we talked a lot about DJ Quick but from sick x Dog on Instagram,

does James have any DJ Quick stories? And I'm assuming because for a minute DJ Quick was working with death Row even though he was not as signed artist to death Row. And I've been around that little cat many times, multiple times, I uh, without death Row, I'm talking about this on some hood ship. Um, No, I really didn't. I mean I'm older, I'm wing, I'm pretty much way older than them. And no, I didn't hang with the

youngsters and this and that. So stories, all I know is one story, Like I told eight m C eight how I felt about their beef, and I was on that wagon on that car if if you know ready to fight and go to war because of that beef, you know what I'm saying. Because it was a blood and crypt thing and I was passionate about what I

was doing. So man, it was only cracket and I got I got quick back like motherfucker's So if I seen them niggers and I have bumped that something many times being me, if you understand what I'm saying, So that's that's that's it. Other than that, No, man, I don't. I don't When when when all those celebrities was around, I was in the cut, kicking back and chilling. I didn't. I didn't try to be in Nick's face. That was

my job. So no, was you around when um, when DJ Quick was performing at the l Right Theater and they stumped out, I don't know. I mean, that was a long time ago when that cat lost his Like, yeah, when that cat lost his life, it was And then that went on both sides. Man. You know, you got game bankers in there fighting, You had casualties, You had a couple of homies that got stuck. You know what

I'm saying, it's unfortunate, And I'm saying that today. I didn't think like that back then, but I'm saying it's unfortunate today that that young man lost his life. And that was years ago, and and you know, you you had cats that you know, that left the situation, you know what I'm saying. And he was there all alone and you had cats on our side that that left the situation. But yeah, it was, it was. I was there.

I was there some of that ship out and like you know, the records that came out of that, I didn't like, you know what I'm saying. I mean, it's all good though. I believe Quick was known for being on stage when that whole thing went off. Yeah, he was, he was, and let's just recognize, uh it was Kelly Jamerson had lost his life. He was twenty eight years old back. But there was no gun play. It was he died of head moon suffered when he was kicked

and beaten. So I guess everything was about throwing chairs and you know whatever they had, it was chairs, it was glasses, it was it was man, it was everything that that you had that that was loose, and it was like that. And then when all the police ran about it there this cat was like where the doors at the doors swing out like that. He's right here and he's just laying there and he's still in the feodle and you know, it was just it was just

it was crazy that night. Man. I'm surprised that there's not I guess nine there wasn't a whole lot of cameras around or you had you had good yeah they like today they'd be probably like cameras inside there, right, yeah, but you had people there wick cameras taking pictures the whole nine. You know what I'm saying, And you know, I'm gonna keep it one hunted. It was it was people on on on that guy that lost his life getting compensated for that, you know, got paid for that

situation under the table, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, it was it was a sad thing, man, all right. Man, Well, I know it's been a rough day for you, James. We gave the people over an hour of great conversation. I don't even want to go home. I mean I can't. I can't lay down. I don't want to lay down. I don't want to go back over there and start crying with my uncle. You know, Uh, he's sixty seven, sixty six. I don't want to be over there with that old cat crin and doing all that with my

cousins and all of that. But I'm sure the family appreciates your presence though. But I mean, man, I'm trying to be there for for my people. And I'm the one that took it upon myself too to be that head nigger in charge. But and and and it carries a lot of weight because I got so many little cousins. My little cousin is she go to the prominence year. She's a little tomboy. But I told her, I'm paying for your hair if you get your hair there this pump pump ship. I'm gonna pay to get your head did.

gifts and give it to him for his son. Yeah, this from your this from your your daddy to your granddaughter, your grandson. You know what I'm saying. So my my heads is full. And then with all the people, everybody, I don't care who called me. I don't mind having a conversation with.
