So how's it going, James? Everything good, Man, everything good? Couldn't we wait to get back to this too? Is that right? Man? Okay? Um, let's see, Let's start with a couple of I made a couple of mistakes, uh, either last week or the week before. Um, A couple of people hit me up about it. But I had said, Mace, we are talking about Mace when we were talking about gene deal, and I said, I think Mace was signed signed to Bad Boy even before Biggie. But I looked

it up. Mace and Biggie both signed to bad Boy in so they were there at the same exact time. And that's the year that Bad Boy was founded, which is the same year death Row was founded. Interestingly, Huh, both Bad Boy and death Row was founded in. And the crazy part about that a lot of guys that Bad Boy had Shi was already dealing with him. It was just I guess the wrong approach and they wind

up with them. But and if them two dudes would have did it together, it would have been man because little By wall and and like Jermanepre Sugar knew all of these cats and they would it would have been good. Ship was actually making a name for himself with a lot of artists before death rows in during the security. Yeah, during the yeah, yeah, a lot of people. Okay, another mistake. I said a couple of weeks ago, Pop Smoke Rest in Peace was killed here in Los Angeles as he

was born in two thousand. He was actually born in so uh, you know, he's a youngster, twenty years old, so he would have been twenty one this year. So um, I mean, nevertheless, that's still young. My daughter was born in two thousand one. So when I see these years like thousand, two thousand one, that just it's just weird that we're talking about somebody that's dead that was born

during these years. That's crazy, old man. And they flew his body back to New York so they could have a funeral farm and uh, that case is still being investigated. I don't know nothing else about it other than what we talked about before. Unless somebody come and say they knew who did it or know what's handing. Ain't nothing another I think that I heard that all the house. You know, all these houses have cameras, so it's just a matter of time. I think those cameras are gonna

reveal some clues. You can't escape the cameras, man, Well you got it. One thing you gotta know about the cameras. A lot of cats don't convicted, Robin because the cameras are ship. They ain't ship. They don't get a good a good picture of on people on them cameras. So my foker's know how to avoid those cameras, right, Well, one of the go ahead. No, I'm just saying, but I mean, you know, nine times out of the team, they might you catch one of them, catch that looked

directly into the camera, chit ching. They sometimes the camera quality is not even good exactly, That's what I'm saying. So, but yeah, I think I think something, something's gonna come up. We'll find out. But some of the biggest news right now for l A is that Eric Holder, the guy that was arrested in charge when Nipsy's murder is might be going to trial later this month or early next month. That's quick. It is quick. What's it's gonna be one

year exactly? So yeah, that's that's quick. It is kind of quick. I know a lot of catching and ship in there three three and a half years right in the murder k But you got your right to speedy trial, so he might have exercised that right. I don't know why J did too O. J got arrested in ninety four and was acquitted in J had it, let's get it now. It was like, let's do it. So I guess Eric Holder is about, you know, let's do it.

But again, he's on camera qualities a little bit better, but it's still like I don't know the dude, so I couldn't say, oh, that's Eric Holder, you know. Um. And even after seeing his photo and now I know what he looks like, I don't look. I can't see that. I can't match him to the video, you know what I mean. That's his only defense that it ain't me. That's his only defense. So I'm actually gonna sit in on that trial. Yeah, I'm just sitting there. I'm gonna

take some notes. Maybe I might write a couple of articles about it, and listen to what's going on. It's in um Judge Perry's courtroom on the ninth floor in downtown l A. And he's the same judge that had the Oscar Grant trial from the cop that shot him in the backup in Oakland. They moved that trial to l A because they felt that they couldn't get a fair trial and Oakland. So I know Judge Perry and

how he runs this court is very strict. You know, you gotta be there, even though I don't know if if this is legal, but courtroom is supposed to be open to the public. But this trial right here gonna take a minute, though, Yes, you might take a couple of weeks. I think about three weeks probably, But Judge Perry, if you're not there at a thirty am when the doors open, he you you can't get in until there's a break. So that's one of the things that sometimes

you missed, that opening door. But most court trials, most courtrooms, you just walk in and out anytime. I won't even want to shoot in there. Now. It's boring, yeah, a little bit. It's boring, but all the legal things are interesting to me, So every part of it is going to be interesting. To me at least, But yeah, I can get born. I'm just saying. Being on the other side, and then sitting at that table, you have seen a lot of cats. They don't trial, but they're going to

sleep because the jurors be sleeping. Half times. You don't understand half of the ship that's saying anyway, Yeah, you don't know what they're talking about. So let's talk about this on one story that you brought up earlier, James, Oh god, this Atlanta police officer, female cop named Keisha Richberg. What's seen doing? What taking money out of a dead out of the dead man wallet? And and this and I wish Reggie was here for this one because me and Reggie go in on this. What do you think

Reggie would say about that man? I can't put no words in his mouth, but I know he has said something to tick me off, you know. And and and it's crazy that we we here you got a brother on the ground dead, and then here you got a and ain't saying all it's only all white people or police officers that bad. You got some bad black cops too, just bad cops in general. You don't even have to put a black and white on it. You just got

bad cops. Period. You're supposed to be taking all of this man property, putting it in a plastic bag for to give to the parents, or go to the morgue with him, and here you are putting this money in your pocket. You should be fired. You should be charged with robbery, and you should get convicted, just like they would convict one of us. Well, she didn't get fired once they looked at the bodycam footage. Once again, bodycam footage is revealing all of the crookedness of the police

officers across America. Man, don't you think that's the stupid ship. They know they got their body cam on them and they're still doing like do they want to just get caught? I think what it is is the bodycam footage never gets looked at unless they take random checks of it.

So there's no way that the bodycam footage for every cop every day gets even you know, they put the database, they need to start watching it and they probably get a whole bunch of emos m B. Yeah, they're gonna have to hire people whose job it is just to look at the footage, and they should actually use an outside entity, not someone within the police department and to expose every last one of them. And I think it's just I just think it's sad that. And you know

they used to do this back in the days. If you have money and you got killed everybody. I know that was in the morgue when they got that property. Like when my mom's got my brother's property, he just cast his check, his death row check. But when they gave up his property, he didn't have a diame in it. No money. So these people from the morgues take your money, everybody. No, don't put your homie in a gang of diamonds and

stuff money in the casket. Those cats that bury you, they're gonna dig your ass up and get that out of there. They're gonna take them rings off your body. You know what I'm saying. And it's crazy. This's been having for a long time. But now you gotta police officer got caught doing it. Could it be the paramedics took the money um out of your brother's pocket. No, no,

they ain't got time for that. The trying when the paramedics get you, and especially in the shooting, the paramedics automatically cut you, just cut all your clothing off, you know what I'm saying. They ain't trying to dig in your pocket and going for your wallet. Now, everything that that he had was placed in the bag. They just take it and put it in a in a brown bag. Did they do surgery on him and try to save his life or was he found dead at the scene. No,

he was found dead at the scene. They rushed him away. So you know the thing is now if if if the body is still there, people coming and people are gonna get upset. And then crazy ship happened after that. So they put him in the ambulant and they took him to St. Francis. So put him in there, and he was already uh dead on the arrival. So they set you in the room and then they have the the priest come in and talk to the family close

don't talk to the family. I had a problem that day because they didn't want to let us see him, and it was y'all got me funked up. So me and the security and they're tussling, going at it. A matter of fact, the motherucker dropped his phone. I kicked his phone in and broke his ship up, and uh whenning the homeboys picked up the phone and put in his pocket. But anyway, uh, tussling with them. I want to see my brother. You know what I'm saying. I don't give what y'all got going on. So the priest

guy got me in the room. He talking to me, if we let you see your brother. The officer gotta go in there, YadA, y'ada, shower my little homeboy, Kevin Woods went in there with me, and uh, and just to just to like see it, you know what I'm saying. They I couldn't touch him whatsoever, and so I agreed to that, and just seeing him there and just just like wow, you know what I'm saying. And no clothes,

no nothing, you know what I'm saying. And it was like the same way every time, you know, my own boy Cann each others died in my arms, you know what I'm saying. And just to see that that last broth your belly swell UM's. It was crazy. It was crazy, just like being in there for my brother and and just sitting there talking and it's just like when they could get up, you know, this is the first time you've been hit. But he was shot with the a K eleven times, I think, so just just the whole factor.

You know what I'm saying, Come on, man, because his eyes was was cocked. And that's the coldest thing I advised man. If if you don't want to dream it, if you don't want to remember it, it's something you're gonna remember for the rest of your life. The way he looked, the way his eyes was cocked, and you've only seen like half of a vision, and and him just laying on that table. Feel me right now in the day, it's like yesterday I saw him. Is it

is a sin you'll never forget. So so you know for sure that he should have had more possessions on him exactly, and it didn't come up. No, his his question his ring. No, I didn't know. I didn't know at that time. You know they they only give that to to my mom's you know what I'm saying. And when all was said and done, well, he just cast his check. He wear his ring at you know what I'm saying. Um, he didn't have his chain, his death row chain on, but that was in the in the

property bag. So I guess they figured, man, you can't wear his chain over where. You know what I'm saying. Everybody, you know, so the chain was in the bag, but his his his paycheck wasn't there the while it was in there, but his ring wasn't in there. And then back then there were nobody. Well, if it was the more of them, that's probably just what they do. Yeah, I mean, and I know a lot of cash out there agree with me. A lot of they know that people have money. They know he had this paper, but

they know. Don't nobody question that at the end of the day. Don't nobody question it. So it's it's just something easy to do. Well, this, this officer in Atlanta is accused of stealing five bucks out of the victim's pocket, and um, I guess once the video surfaced, she was fired immediately. But don't fire me, don't fire them. They should. She should have been arrested. I mean you, I mean, that's the lowers you can go. You take it from a dead man, You robbed the dead man. So that's robbery,

am I right? Okay, So she should have been charged with robbery. I don't even see it don't matter, it shouldn't matter. Well, um, well she's fired, But like you said on a previous episode of The Gangster Chronicles, she's just gonna go to another police department and and that's the sad thing. But then you want you want your community, you want all these people to to trust in you take off that servant protection off the side of your police car, because that ain't what you're here for. That

ain't what you're here for. And and like I, man, I encourage everybody that see this and notice, man, you just can't deal with him like that. You don't know what's gonna happen to you. You don't know what that police officer woke up in the morning before you put that uniform on thinking about. And that's some scary ship, you know what I'm saying. You got cats out there getting their ass will because wife he didn't do what she had her wife. He duties to this officer and

he piste off. He comes to work and take it out on the people that you come in counter with. And that's that's some cold ship. So how you know if if, if, if you're here to help me, are you here to harm me? You don't know. So that's why you probably got so many people feeling a certain kind of way about when the police start talking to you. Because if you start off fucked up, then we've been just being a funked up situation and everybody just ain't come.

So yeah, that's she should she should have been charged with robbery. Well, the victim was Jamal Harris and he got shot shot in the head, and I guess she was the first officer to respond to the scene. Didn't put it in the bag. She put the wallet in the car with her. So when you first see the wallet, the wallet is fat, so then just five one bills, so she take it. She probably thought it was more, but she stuffed it. Now when she get out the car to take the wallet, you gotta watch the video.

The wallet is flat. So she knew exactly what she was doing because she took all of it. She took all of it. And it don't matter if she black, white, Mexican or whatever. She a police officer hired to serve and protect that man on the ground dead. You're not only disrespect his body, but you committed you committed a crime. Well, so far she hasn't been charged with any crime, but um, it's still early. You never know. They might charge the story. But they don't have to come back two weeks later

to figure this out. They don't take a rocket scientist. If if if if the police officers at the center of the crime, and I go over to this dead man body and take his wallet out of his back pocket and take something out of it and put it in my pocket. What they gonna do. You're going to jail. I'm going to jail. I got a case. Yeah, what what makes them different? Man? That's that's that's just my whole thing with everything. Ain't nobody different here? Yeah? She was.

She was never arrested because this is a story that happened in two thousand nineteen, So there are no updates on this officer ever getting charged or getting arrested or anything like that. Just she was just fired, just terminated from a job. And uh, that's about it. So but I got a story that's a little bit closer to home. Man. A Guardina police officer got thirty three months. He was sentenced this week thirty three months in prison for selling illegal guns on the streets of l A where you

think them guns came from. He got these guns from using his officer access. He was able to get what's called unlisted guns because he's a cop. But he decided I'm gonna slang these guns and he got caught selling these guns um on the streets to whoever. So this is a police officer taking unlisted guns because he cops have access to these guns at different gun places and started selling them. But you won't believe where he was selling these guns at other than you know, eventually he's

meeting dudes on the streets. But you won't believe how he was advertising the selling these guns. Man, he was advertising. He was advertising. We talked about this with pop Smoke and a lot of rappers that being doing too much online. This cops set up an Instagram page was putting out he had these guns available under of course like an alias name UM. And he eventually got caught and he was sentenced to almost three years in the federal federal prison.

His name is Carlos Fernandez. He's forty four years old. He's from Norwalk and he was charged with selling about a hundred guns and got two and a half years, two years, seven months. Yeah. Now once again, if you get lookay, let me ask you, James, if you got if you got pulled over and you had a hundred guns in your trunk and you was accused of selling them, you think you can get two years, no life in prison, far far away from this mother pucker. Yeah, So that

that's your my whole thing. Man. If if if I know I'm on the bad side, I know I'm on the bad side, and I know him what I'm doing is wrong. But if you're a police officer and you you know you ain't on this side, you ain't cut from the same club as me, And then here you are today committing the same fucking crimes I'm doing. Why

the time ain't ain't the same? I mean, that's a great question, man, because I'm almost certain that any civilian that was caught selling a hundred illegal firearms, it's gonna get more than two and a half. You got catching the penitentiary right now, doing ten doing fifteen years for a pistol, And that's just like being on parole. Here you are. You got a police officer, got caught selling over a huney guns two and a half years you

lord ship, Come on, man, this it sucks. So he would use his identification to buy guns at firearm shows. He was selling what was what's called off roster firearms uh Colt thirty eight caliber guns which were not available to the general public, but which could be legally purchased by law enforcement. So he was buying these guns and then slanging. But look under the pretenses because he was a police officer, that should be double. Yeah, that should be double. I agree, like and and and and and

nobody else looking at it like that. It's like, how does guy didn't get ten years? The average the average person is gonna say, oh, where they caught him? Funk that they caught him? Why he ain't doing the same time I did for a pistol. I don't. I got

caught with one pistol two and a half years. You gotta catch that got the second time getting caught with a pistol doing ten And the thing about it, you don't know how many crimes that these hundred firearms have been involved in since he sold them, so that his ship should have you know, So whine the hill is he here only got two and a half years. And this is part of the Justice Department statement. They said Fernandez exploited his position as a police officer to ensure

the success of his illegal gun selling business. Doesn't that just sound like more than two and a half years is illegal gun selling business? And they know this already, So why did he only get two and a half years they got him dead to write? Yeah, well, I think officers are usually giving shorter sentences this bottom line. I mean, at least at least he's going to the pen. Well you know what, you see that that's at least that's a free ticket. That's short, that's selling the whole

thing short, Alex. Yeah. Fuck, at least motherfucker's need to start fighting for that. If if a police officer get caught doing what I'm doing, he should be subject to the same motherfucking time that I get. What makes a police officer different from me? Just because he went bad? That should be worser. Yeah, you gotta think about this police officer doing all of this ship, think about the catch that he doesn't got put in jail. Everything should

be looked at about this police officer. Well, hopefully they're looking at everything Callos Fernando's has done as a police officer at the city of Guardena. And for those who don't know that are listening to the Gangster Chronicles outside the United States, outside of California, Guardena is just south of Los Angeles and a little west of Compton. You know, right up the street right up the street. So you know, most of us know Guardina very well, and I just

tripped out he was using Instagram. Also, you know this is what this is. A bold guy put these guns on Instagram. We already know. Just because your cop don't mean you don't think like a criminal and you fux up thinking like you're gonna get away with it just because you changed the name. It don't work that way. Well, there was another officer. I don't know if this was

his partner, Edward Arroyo, he's forty nine years old. He was also found guilty, but a judge granted him a new trial because there was an error in his in his original trial. So Edward Arriyo, forty nine years old, will be facing the same charges as Carlos Fernandez was facing in a new trial coming up later this year. So he wasn't the only cop doing it. There was another cop. Okay, So you gotta look into the department and see, this is what they need to do. They

need to get a counsel. If they can get somebody to police them, then the police won't be so so quick to jump into stupid ship like this. And I'm talking about they're not police officers. You got the FBI, But the FBI play the game, but they're on the same team sometimes. Well, see, cases like this should be investigated by Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office headed by Jackie Lacey, but she never investigates the police. This is

the FEDS. FEDS busted these guys, not the not the l a d A. You know, because the l a d A rarely investigates cops because they don't they worked together. So yeah, at least again he's going to prison. I know it's a little short, a little short sentence. He got, uh two and a half almost three years, but he can never be a cop again, that's for sure. He's a convicted feeling that that isn't even the point. I mean, just think what he can do now. I ain't no cop no more, and I don't can really get out

there and do his thing. He don't have access to buying all these guns like he did. He used to whip out his his guardina police idea and get access to all the guns he wanted it. Okay, um, well we'll see, uh Carlos Fernandez going to prison. Another police officer going to prison and probably be in the camp. Yeah, he's probably in there. Were um going to a camp with Reggie. He ain't gonna be in there with Reggie,

but he's gonna be in the camp. He should do hard time that to that two and a half years should be the longest time year ever ever did anywhere. Well, I think Reggie's isn't camp for under two years because Reggie got eighteen months, just two and a half. Well, you know what, Lee Baca is in the camp and he got three years. So yeah, Carlos Fernandez is probably gonna go to a federal camp. Uh maybe the same campus Reggie. Maybe the one that Lie Bacca is at

in Texas. So, um, you saw this video James of the husband of Jackie Lacey, the d A, pulling a strap out because the protesters came on his property at five o'clock in the morning. Um, well that was Molina Abdulah from Black Lives Matter. She's also a old friend of mine. She went to USC with me back in the day. But do you think he was room for doing that? Uh? I mean these protesters are unarmed. I don't know what people are gonna say. You step on

my private property. I'm pulling the strap out on you, right, But you gotta you can only pull your strap out if you feel threatened. I know Molina personally, she ain't doing nothing that's threatening. She wasn't her, but she knocked on the door. Her and two other Black Lives Matters were on the porch knocking on the door. He pulls out a gun and says, get off my property. Okay, I don't. I don't think he's wrong because, for number one, you shouldn't be able to do You shouldn't work on

private property knocking on my door like that. I wanted to talk. If I ain't got nothing to say to you, there's no need for you to be persistent. All he gotta do is to say I got no common and slammed the door. Well, he could have did it that way, but he man. Media always knocking on people's door because they want the story. Yeah, but what protesters are gonna

do too? What happened? If somebody knocked your head off just from knocking on my door, you gotta think, Okay, this is your job, but you want to go home too. But then you gotta say, oh, these three women from Black Lives Matter, I felt threatened by them. Come on, I didn't even see the women. No, you couldn't see call I heard her say it was Oh, he pointed his gun at my chest. I mean if he pointed it like like to be really like, I'll shoot your motherfucker.

Get the I mean when you look at that video, he's got his finger on the trigger. Now, a lot of times, you a lot of times you can put your finger on the outside because you're not sure if you're gonna shoot or not. No, he had his finger. And if you said I didn't even have bullets in the damn gun. I just wanted to scare him. It's still I mean, it's and then it's an unloaded weapon that he used to intimidate and threaten people. He used it to intimidate to jail, did he know, Yeah, well

it just happened. So they said there's an investigation. But I can't imagine that Jackie Lacy, that would mean that Jackie Lacy's office, the wife's office, would have to charge the husband. That ain't gonna happen, right, that ain't gonna happen. Um. But again, what if that was you or me we pull out a gun because we got the media on our front door, or we got some protests at our front door. I think we might get arrested because there's no threat. I don't. I don't think you come to

your door, uh with a with a pistol. I don't think. I don't think you could go to jail man. You just chill them to get off your property. You can't brandish a weapon when there's no threat property. You can you can, you can. You can pull out your pistol in your house if you choose to. Long as you on your on your property and somebody is there, I'm willingly you can run as your frown. There still needs to be a threat. The threat is y'all my yo.

See when you look at it, you're looking at threat as if they like finning with the fishballs finning come and get at you, or they got sticks or weapon in their hands coming towards you. That's not just a threat. I learned that going to jail. That's that's that's not the only threat. You being in in in my circle, in my space is a threat. I feel threatened by your presence. Well, I mean you could you could argue that, but that's that's my arguy. But it's gotta be a

reasonable threat. Though it is a reasonable threat. The reason you are on my property coming at me, knocking on my door, I wanted to ask questions. I told you to leave once you start my pistol. You should have took that as a threat and turned around and left. But no, y'all stood there. You're my property. I'm not at your door. So anything that comes to me is physically is a threat to me. Well, Jackie Lacy apologized the next day for us. Obviously she thought it was wrong.

I mean, I apologize because look, look position that put her in. That my husband put a gun on unarmed women. Now all of these people gonna go bam, whether they are armed or not, whether they are not arm or not. You got some dangers. Asked women out there that that that whopped me and ass well, I think I think Jackie Lacy's husband was a little over the top of that. He could have been a little bit, especially when he opened the door. I mean, we gotta look at shipped

from all different angles, all different types of views. Now when he opened the door, all he could have said his op, Okay, I'm quite sure you know who they are. Of course, so they ain't no threat to me. Y'all get the of my porch. He could have took set the set the pistol behind the door, Get get off my damn port. That's all he had to say. I'm calling police and press charges on you. And then that's all he had to do. What he just felt angry and took it upon his ship to do it the

way he felt he needed to do it. Gonna threaten these mother fuckers, I'm gonna let these motherfucker's know, don't come on my portion no more. And that could get him in that can name him in jail. Dude, Um, does it? Does it have any doesn't matter to you that it was five am in the morning. That's what a lot of people are saying. It's five am. Shouldn't be knocking on anyone's door at five am. That's true too. What the funk y'all doing knocking on my door at

five in the morning, y'all know, motherfucker's asleep. You know how people talk black, especially black people. You wait me to funk up at three o'clock in the morning. What the fund? What you want? Hey? All the Black Lives Matter. All they wanted to do was talk to Jackie Lazy about you see, that's what people get it, get it twisted. So what they could have found a better time to conversate about that. I think they realized Jackie Lacy is not doing no talking. So once you start avoiding the

people winning my case from avoiding the community. If they realized that, then they shouldn't even went to the man house to their home. That's when you get personal when you bring that ship to my house. Yeah, wait, they're gonna come outside. Sooner or later, they're gonna come out. But look, if he would have bust on one of them, he would have been in big trouble. If he just shot one of them, then yeah, yeah, he's a fun because now the threat wasn't that serious, The intent wasn't

that serious for you to shoot him. So now that the ship changes, you see what I'm saying. And that's for a situation to be here and then elevate you here. It's two different things. Well, that old man needs to be careful whipping a strap out like that because somebody knocking on your door and they want to talk. His wife is a public official, she's an elected official. You put you in the limelight, that's what comes with it. People knocking on your door, protest and all of that. Right, yeah,

you put yourself there. But I mean, even though people still have to respect you, you're gangster in me that you respect my house. At least now when I come to work, you can talk ship to me all the way through the elevator. You can get on the elevator with me. I can't stop that. But at home, I

think it is different. Did you ever have situations where the media or people who wanted to access death Row and y'all were just like, get out of here, we ain't talking to you all, we ain't got no comment, and you gotta kind of shoot them, shoot them off. You had a lot of that at Snoop Dogg travel and and you know they don't care. They want that picture, they want that conversation. If you just say two words, they're gonna use that two words. And I think they

needed to to fix it. You got, you got some of them photographers getting sucked on. Man, respect my privacy, and that's some of the that's that's the most motherucker's acting for respect my privacy. I got my kid. But you know much this picture gonna be worth? And that's what they're thinking. So Am I wrong for for keeping my child out and out of out of danger? Am I wrong for these foods? Just by any means that they open your car doing roll the window down? Come on, man,

you can't do that. Get your get your, get your your your your pictures and in your interview some other kind of way. Well, I mean that once, once you're a celebrity, or once you're out there like Snoop or that don't mean you can come to the territory. But it don't mean you can invade. You don't have to invade my privacy. You see, what I'm saying is a way to get that interview, is a way to get

that picture. You know what I'm saying. Some celebrities don't want to be taking you know, you're taking their pictures. Why because some of these photographers take those pictures and and and do all kind of crazy ship with the pictures. And why should you just make money off me like that? Now, if I'm to sit in and pose all day and Papa ROSSI just bam bam bam, that's cool. I'm I'm

allowing you to do that. But when you crawled through my bedroom window or sitting on the beach and with your long lives and taking pictures of me privately and I don't know, and then now you're putting these pictures out there. That's a violation respect, my motherucking privacy. How do you feel when people are recognize you out in public, because I'm sure you get a lot of that. I'm

good with it, man, I'm loving it. Man. I go to Walgreens, I'm just leaving here when I was going to uh find and find and find them that people got lost and uh god, coming out of the sushi place, James, that's my gage, Quana. I love that, man, just to be recognized like that, and I look at it. It's love. I ain't had nobody chasing me in the car trying to take my picture whatever. But me personally, man, I love the attention and I love everything that that that

people is bringing towards me. So I wouldn't have a problem. You can knock on my door at six in the morning and say we want to talk to you about who the whoo whoa how you feel I'm gonna conversate. That's why a lot of these people right now today got my my personal phone number, and I sit back and drink my coffee, and I'm shooting the ship with people I don't know. But I have made a lot of friends here. I got a little, little little kid.

His name is Matthew. North Carolina, South Carolina. Y'all, don't don't, don't be mad at me. I get it wrong. But he said I'm his hero. I'm like, no, he didn't say that. The whole family watches games of Chronicles to show their kids that this is what black kids go through, so they don't have to be like that. And man, she had me like man like on some wow. And just the comments and and the and the things that I give from people, it's it's overwhelmed me. It's overwhelm me.

But Matthew is my new friend, little guy. What's up to you, Matthew? And and you know, your hero is supposed to be your dad, your mom. You know that I can't see myself as that, you know what I'm saying. I see myself as a dude that funked up big time, you know what I'm saying. And all I wanna do is give back. All I want to do is let people know they don't have to live the way I did. You feel me, you don't have to put a gun in your pocket. You don't have to carry that pistol

on your hill. You know what I'm saying. Motherfucker like me, gotta carry it, gotta have it, you know what I'm saying. But I ain't know if I would have should have cut us and them because they lived it yet and they don't never want to have to say that. So I'm just loving that, dude, I'm just loving that. Well, it looks like Jackie Lacey is gonna win another term. She barely won um with the polls and she's got fifth the point one percent of the vote, and that's

all she needed to win more than fifty. If if that one percent of the tally comes in and gives one of the the challengers enough votes where she's forty nine percent, then they're gonna have another election in the fall. But if she could stay above, she's in and she's I don't follow that apology. What the hell is she do? Um? You know a lot of people from Black Lives Matter and and other organizations feel like she hasn't been tough on police when it comes to shootings and murders and

killings and all of that stuff. You think, well, she will not stay in position long enough. If you took that approach, you ain't gonna be there long. Yeah, but there's some d A s around the country that have prosecuted more than one cop. She's only got one cop prosecuted under on her. Maybe she'd make more money, not even Plus, as a black woman, we were back thing a little bit more from her, considering that she understands our experience and where we come from, the things that

we go through. But as a d A, she's acting like everybody just another d A. You know, put me into give me the d respect. All black people have power to make a change. I expect for them to have more sympathy and more understanding for people of color. That's why they get put in the office in the first place. Who who do you think put these people of color in office? Who's gonna put black people in office?

These people don't come out and really fucking understand what the fund is going on in the community and sitting in the office and then looking at this goddamn this book just panthered into saying, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna have to find me something new to speak on that. Come on, you're not in it. You've got other people doing your homework for you. So where how is that going to help the neighborhood, the community? How is that going to help anything? People? Will power is just in power.

Everybody is doing what they have to do to eat. They ain't worried about the next motherfucker. They're just trying to keep that seat. This is how I think, because if you want to make a change, man, especially being there where you act, it ain't hard to do it. Ain't. Look what we're doing right here, sitting at the table, conversating, making a change, and a whole bunch of cats making them think different and see that it's another way out opposed to being violent. Why they can't do that? They

got the power. They can fix a lot of ship. They can. They can build a building and put a building here and and open that building and put kids in there, teaching them ship. You know what I'm saying. So, but they're not doing that. Everything is read paperwork, Everything is this. Everything is a process, and don't have to be a process. This world big enough. That building been vacant for seven years, seven years, that that motherfucker hold

at least three hundred motherfucking homeless people. But you got all of them sitting by Angel Stadium, and then they put you out of that, motherfucker because you're homeless. Come on, where do I go? If I'm already on my ass, I'm already to the curb? What can you kick me? How can't you keep kicking me? Put that? Get that building and put motherfucker's in this building. Give them jobs. You're creating jobs because then here working and doing all

this other ship. The people that's in there, you put them through school and you you make them work to live, and that that that builds you from around and everything else back up. Now they can go out there and get a real goddamn job a homeless man. You'll be surprised how many smart motherfucker's out there living on the street because they can't a forward this eighteen hundred dollars

a month. They can't do it. Your girlfriend leave, nigga, you must will pack your ship and she even goes sit on the curb because you can't do it by yourself. So that's what I'm saying. Just because you're in power, don't mean you got the power. You there for a reason. You ain't You ain't. You can't make it happen. Let's get him to do that and then build this ship over here, put people in there to to re refix that, rebuild and do all another ship, and then we'll be good.

We'll be good. But then everybody that you've got working there got to be responsible. Everybody ain't responsible. So as a catch twenty two to everything, but it's got to start somewhere. You're do to the Digital soap Bus Network. This episode of The Gangster Chronicles is brought to you by Keeps dot Com. You don't have to go broke

If she keeps her above her her her results above fifty percent, she could avoid the runoff election. All right, there's one more thing here I wanted to mention. I thought this was kind of interesting, James. There's a new bill that

just got approved. That legislation that was approved designating lynching as a hate crime under federal law, which I already thought lynching was illegal, but in which would be sixty five years after fourteen year old m Mattill was lynched in Mississippi, which happened in lynching is now illegal? Not check this out? It was voted on four ten in the House approved it before, didn't Can you believe four

people actually voted against this bill? And I got their names here, Uh, Louis Gomett Gomert from Texas, Thomas Massey from Kentucky, Ted Yoho of Florida, along with Justin Ahmash from Michigan opposed the bill. All of them, three of them are Republicans, one is independent. So I wanted to throw that out there that wow, um, all men that that that didn't want to make that legal four Three of the four from the South. So I'm not surprised, you know, because that's where most of the lynching in

the United States was concentrated in the South. And I wouldn't be surprised, you know what. That's that's one thing growing up to literal life, gang life, to be in the streets. You see a lot of ships, you hear a lot of ship. But but but we uneducated and we don't know how to speak that language. Like I'm sitting there talking about it and trying to not say the wrong word or mismisused the word. But you've got a lot of people out there that truly believe in slavery,

truly field, I mean, that's racist. Ain't nothing shocking. It shouldn't be shocking to nobody on this planet that these people. But but but here we got these are a man of power that think like that, why should they be there? And these guys are elected from their stage. But the good thing is four and ten people for an attend congressmen voted for this for this bill, uh, and only four didn't. So what's that? That's one percent? But that for needs a lot. Yeah, just think of their mindstate,

their mentalities. They really believe in this ship that that's a sad thing for us, and then they even put it out there and let us know that motherfucker's still don't like you. Yeah, they don't like your race. I'm almost certain that Louis Goldmerder of Texas. Uh, he's probably not a friend to people of color. Neither is Thomas Massey. I just want to say their names again, from Kentucky and Ted Joho that's why o Ho of Florida, and then Justin Amash of Michigan. Yeah, it is kind of sad.

All right, let's take a couple of fan questions, um for before we wrap up. But I want to remind everybody that you are listening to The Gangster Chronicles and you can find James on Facebook. He's got the red icon in the profile, and he's also on Instagram at b I G G JT six thirty six and for those nine zero nine four one nine zero three four five And I'm available at Alex Alonso one zero one on all social media platforms including Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

And don't forget to check out my latest videos on street TV. And my first question, let me, let me, let me do this real quick because I forget were talking about Matthew, but I meant another guy. Well, so many more, Uh, Corey Slater, There's so many but Flip. He talked to me every Wednesday, called, man, I've seen the show you're on Alex YadA YadA. I told him, I'm gonna put it. I'm gonna I'm gonna speak on him tonight. He's uh pretty much grew up the same

way we did. Uh, trying different things. He's doing the rap. I listened to the Four of the Five, Uh, CDC something. I want you to listen to it too, because you be one. Yeah, nay on it. Uh. You can check him out Flip from South Georgia. You can check him out on a super sports Fresh instagram that's on his Instagram page. I really didn't get too much information on him, but I got him and I'm gonna keep I'm gonna

keep putting him out there. He's a cool dude. Um. I like the conversation we have just shooting the ship. I feel like I know him for a long time now. But you know, check Flip out on Super Sport I mean yeah, super Sport Fresh on his Instagram page. I didn't. I didn't really prepare for it. But I'm put him out there. Man, y'all gotta check him out to do this dope. I like it. I like his stuff. So I'll be back next week with the whole package. So

Super Super Sport Fresh on Instagram. That's flip, all right. The first question we have here is, James, can you talk more about Buster Week? This comes from Sinci Greg on Apple Podcast. Once you know a little bit more about Buster Week? How did that come about? I thought I explained all that. We talked about it briefly in the previous episode, and then you talked about it in

another interview. Games, Okay, buster week was pretty much every Every neighborhood has guys that's with the business, guys that go out there and and do certain things for their neighborhood. And then you have guys that don't leave a neighborhood, which in the hood, casts that didn't do were considered busters. So me and a few of the homies, let's man just get at these cats. Let's let's let's just take off. Let's do the busses. Let's beat up the busses this week.

So we all just sitting around probably drinking and you know, doing our thing. And then the next thing, you know, you got three four the homies walking around the hood and we're on some Buster week ship and we took turns. They're going one of them, they're going a bit right there, and who turned was it to to Bam? So we took turns and it was on him, it was on him,

it was on me. So Buster week was the way to keep the weak niggers off the block guard keep those cats that wasn't participating in the hood with the hood ship away from us. So every week or every other week, we would say, man, we need another Buster Week, or this cat went to school and then come back right bust a week and it just flowed from there. Bust the week was to get rid of the week those that didn't participate in gang activity. And it was kind of fun. I mean, you know, I mean, you

got your exercise on. Uh. We had a Buster week. Was it served his purpose? Did any of these guys have fight back? Uh? And showed that there wasn't a buster No one one did. And he's still lost. But I mean, people getting twisted and misunderstand everybody ain't capable to do or everybody can't be gangsters. Everybody can't be gang members. A lot of those cats were associated with

the hood, but wasn't affiliated with the hood. They were, they were there but going to school, and and all you had to do is say where he was from. They was getting jumped on too, you know people, Oh you have to do and say, oh I live in the mind, Oh I live in lowics. I don't know. That's wrong hood, And and you got a problem. Some cats chose not to do that, not to do that, say where he was from or where they lived at

and all that. Some squared up. But then when you're in the hood, you you you're doing grown man ship, you know what I'm saying. So those guys were considered busters. You couldn't come in the hood and be hanging in the hood and get shot and just I'm good man, I'm I'm glad to be alive. You better get retaliated. Yeah, you've got to. So if you didn't, you was considered a buster, you know what I'm saying. And I'm gonna keep you one hunted. Those cats were getting man pray upon.

But I mean they were just come on, I got this one. You know what I'm saying it was you know, we was taking cats drugs. How much that you got on you today? Oh I got give me that, you know what I'm saying. So, I mean it had uh advantages. Nobody ever wanted to come back with a gun and you know they couldn't fight, but they want to come back with a weapon and and do some damage like that. No,

because they know who they're dealing with. They know you know what you have to deal with when you come back like that, you gotta really think, like, man, if what happens when I get there, I'm gonna have to shoot him. I'm not gonna be no good in prison. I ain't gonna be able to buy that ship. So the repercussion of it was a waste of time. They no, they didn't want to go through that, and and it was a good thing they didn't have to go through

that because they didn't looking around. Somebody would have got hurt, you know what I'm saying. And a lot of people did get hurt because I mean it was everywhere. You know, some cats just couldn't take an ass whoopen and and found just to be quiet and retaliated in a later date. So it it has it's ups and downs, but Buster Week was was a good thing because it balanced out the neighborhood. You know what I'm saying. Everybody know who

was with it and everybody know who wasn't. Was everybody suffable and meaning like Blacks, Mexicans, it didn't matter or it was just mostly know this is this in the hood thing. This wasn't. I can't go to another hood and patrol they ship and monitor they ship or hear bust. We gotta whip possess. No, that's not no, you can't do that. It was just in the hood, you know what I'm saying. And you know, everybody just ain't. And this is at every fucking gang hood, every hood you

got out there, everybody ain't with it. They could pretend to be with it, but everybody ain't with it like that, you know what I'm saying. And the majority of the cats that get killed is the ones that's really not with it. Now, you got some cats that ain't with it, but then they learned how to be, you know what I'm saying. But the ones is out there, the gangsters by nature and not by choice. They was built that way. As it's totally different that That question comes in from

since Greg on Apple Podcasts and keep those questions coming. Oh, here's another one from Cam Dougs. Cam Doug on Apple podcast wants to know how you feel James about the Game mentioning your brother in his song that just came out about three to about three months ago called Stainless, and the lyric was baby Lane killed pop Niggas killed Baby Lane, bunch of was busting back, heron died in his chain. What do you think when you first heard that? I liked it. I liked it the song, yeah, and

and I didn't just like it because of Buntury. I mean he paid how much to Bunchrey he just mentioned in his name. It's like what I'm trying to do keep bunchy name a lot, so I plot game for it, you know what I'm saying. Any cat that that that right down to day can still mentioned Bunchy and then a good note man, My head off to him. But I mean I can't be mad at him because he's doing it. I mean, it ain't like he I think the reason why Cam Doug ass because he mentioned your

brother as shooting at the time. You know, he was busting back and and and ain't nothing wrong with that. I don't discriminate. I don't I'm not gonna sit here in line. I can't tell you I was an angel. I can't tell you Bunchy was an angel. I'll be sitting there line to the whole goddamn world. He wouldn't be bunch of real if he didn't do the ship

that he did. You know what I'm saying, take off to see and that to be, he wouldn't be who he is, and I wouldn't be who I am, just sitting up there line and saying, Man, my brother was, My brother was good, My brother was the saint. What the funk we came banging for? Then if if it's like that, so man, no, everybody see Buntry and me and all the rest of these castes out there like that the way they want to see him, you know

what I'm saying. And for them to see bunch Ofy still and and speaking, ain't man, it's like uh award for me. You know what I'm saying, that's my little brother, that's my little brother. And and man when I when I heard it, I'm good with that, like like for real, for real. Now imagine if your brother was able to like actually land some of those shots in the history will be completely different, you know already. Yeah, but the

car already made that right turn. And I guess a bunch of you followed a little bit from what the story out here. Well, Like I said, man, that should happened. That should didn't go the way its supposed to. It shouldn't have went the way it happened. And I'm like, like my brother been going since two thousand and two.

I am so tired of that conversation. I'm so tired of explaining what what what he means to me and what that day, that day changed all of our life, you know, the day Tupac died changed all of our lives. So I'm not, man, I'm not proud of none of that ship. I'm not. I'm not. I don't want to hold on to it no more. You know, I just finally let go a part of a part of bountry for for for me to be able to function in a real way, for me to be open and speak

on ship. You know what I'm saying, because I hate it. A whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of people. I didn't see ship, but self destruction. I didn't see nothing. I didn't understand it. You know what I'm saying. Everything I lived for too took his life, you feel me? So all of that other ship was wasted time, waste of time. So on on that note, we're game man.

I appreciated that dude for speaking on you know, putting them in just just acknowledging his name, and they also acknowledged heron who's not and and which is another real more fucking you know what I'm saying. So, and I don't even know if Game even knew, Like that was a long time ago. You know that's that's uh eighteen years ago. Where was Game at eighteen years ago? Too? But the names still live on, you know what I'm saying. So to even even hear those guys name mentioned in

the same token is it's a good thing. I think games first album came out in oh four, so that would have been two years after you lost your brother. And I guess he was hanging out there and uh see the block around two three. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I never read in the game. Um, like I said, yeah, young stand But he also he also like celebrates the West Coast history. I mean, I think

he's got a tattoo of um easy. And then also he's paying a lot of homage to Nipsey Hustle, So he truly has a out of love for for the hip hop that comes out of the West, comes out of especially Compton, you know. And I know you're probably thinking about some things right now, and I don't know when when when when it ain't an easy thing speaking on my brother. Yeah, I'm gonna tell everybody that now. And man, it's just like a bitch up and fucking cry.

But no, that's like understandable because I mean that's a that's a brother, that's a sibling. Um. You know, I don't even know what that. I have four siblings and I don't even know what that's like. If I lost one of them, I think I go crazy. Man. We grew up. We grew up ten a tit. Uh. We grew up playing cowboys and Indians and ship and we always imitated the the Codwright boys on Bonanza and Uh.

We used to get on our bikes and ride in the motherfucking rain and I'm talking about rain and catching dogs and just be out there, uh, instead of depending on our pops to buy shoes. We go all the way up in the avocado tree and just knocked the motherfucker's down and go up to the store and sell them. We walk in the store, they're selling them three for two dollars. We got four four dollar fifty and everybody

bought them. I'm talking about a basket full of them. So, man, I got a lot of just a lot of good memories with my with my brother. You know what I'm saying. Ship that we did that that I can say we're hunting, We actually did that. You know what I'm saying. Um, I did some crazy ship to him. You know what I'm saying. When he pissed me off, he raised pigeons and he had birds that was six hundred bucks. I'm to the rollers and he pissed me off. I go back there with my little twenty two right and when

you start shooting them motherfucker's. You know what I'm saying, That what you're gonna do? You know what I'm saying, And just just coin there with each other. But at the end of the day we make up. You know what I'm saying. Um, Me and uh Kenny Tubbs with some chicks trying to show off like we just just big old badass niggers, and said, we go to Chico Pieces. And when we jump out the car, we like we had a pistol. So it was a bunch of prominoes like this. So we just walked in the crowd and

we're fighting these cats. So we run into the Piece of place and we hid behind with the little circle table and one at the time we was like, man, we gotta get the funk out of here. We gotta get the funk out of here. Bam we got on. So Canny tell Us went this way. I went this way. Before I can even get to our alley, here comes Buntry in his pajamas. He had a seventy six glass house at the time, and his pajamas with the shotgun on the seat. I dives in the car. What the

FUNKYU doing that? Checks? And Mom, you're tripping, you're drinking. You're drinking? Yeah? And what and but how you know we was up here fight, you know what I'm saying. And I never he never told me. He never told me. But I guess the chicks went back and and got him or whatever. But he jumped the funk up and he was right there. You know what I'm saying. So and I got a whole bunch of stories like that

by my brother, you know what I'm saying. And then to see for me to lose him like like with the ship that we do on the daily by our own people. Bye bye. You know what I'm saying, What I represent, what I love, what I stand for. Everything, Just just mom, everything just changed. Life's totally different now because well I know the people out there and love hearing stories about Buntrey. They love hearing you talk about they all. They want you to talk about everybody that's

not with us anyware. They wanted to talking about Uh, they want to hear about um Heron, They want to hear about Bounty. But that's the tough thing to do. I mean, it has his up and downs, but it has a good times too and the good times because Alton was my brother and we've been through so much, so much at our age, Alton was actually my goal too when when my pops had issues with me, you know, putting his hands on me in a certain kind of way, and Alton was always there. Like just just think about

the Star Wars, because we had Star Wars stickers. We have bunk bears, and then we had the stickers on the wall. He just just keeps saying Star Wars, Star Wars, and he won't feel it. You won't feel it. And ask getting my asswood laying across that bunk bed down at the bottom, and he whipped me. Auching was right there. He was like on the head of the bed and I'm like down that colase to the foot and and I'm looking at it and it's like he felt he

felt the panion was going through right there. You knew what it was and that was your little bro right right. So that was a love we have for each other. Man. So yeah, and you guys we were pretty close in age too. How many years younger than is he? If you is he eleven months younger than trip man. My mama was getting in before she can get it out. Man.

You guys are in school together one year apart. Yeah, I mean, you can't get any closer in age than that, all right, Um, Bosco issued an apology to you man, And if I don't know, it took a while for him to get to that point in the interview, but eventually he just said it. Um, I guess he really didn't have any any any basis for saying what he said to you about you in the first place. Like this,

every man has his own pride. And to say I'm sorry you are apologized to another man you think twice of doing it, You know what I'm saying, because you don't know if you're doing it for what reason? Man? Being one hunted is the reason that if you wrong, you're wrong. Uh. I never I never came at him. I never said nothing about him, you know. And and people gotta twist it. Reggie gonna be Reggie, James gonna

be James, allis gonna be Alex. You can't change that, which now one of those three guys I just mentioned is trying to change the next cat got something to say, that cat got something to say, whatever. But today's society, everybody got it right to their own opinion. So I I'm not mad at you. But if you if you lash out and I only said something because you you, you put my brother in it. My family, my family has nothing to do with what I did. You know

what I'm saying or what I do. So if if if if a mothercker don't like me, don't like me, don't don't use my family as a question. Don't don't. I'm just ain't doing that, you know what I'm saying. So that's the only reason why I spoke on that, because me personally, I'm not Fenna be on gainst the Chronicles trying to bring down no brother, trying to talk talk about her brother jaws, trying to talk about what a brother doing with his bitch. Ain't none of my business.

How you getting down? That's your business, feel me. So to to come at me, you can't. You you're not here, So what's the purpose? We can't get at each other? And I used to tell his motherfucker's the same ship on the motorcycle set. If I call you a bit in your face and you don't do nothing, it is what it is. A bit. Yeah, but call me a bit, you see if I don't shoot your motherfuck Now. Well, there's one point that Bosco made that I thought I

could relate to. I can understand it. It was about Reggie. He said, how how does a former cop, former police officer get on a show called Gangster Chronicles and start calling other people snitches? Because that's not the language of a cop or even a retired a former cop on here talking very very street. You know, such and such as a snatch, such and such as this. Well, let me let me clarify this for y'all, man and everybody out there. Reggie Wright is street. Yeah, Reggie Wright just

became the police officer. To me that that that was a job he had to take. You feel me? But Reggie right, man, and everybody something to know. You know what I'm saying. Reggie Wright grew up on on on on that US ship. You know what I'm saying. He wasn't always a copy didn't he went to copy in high school. He went a cop playing football. He went the cop playing basketball, baseball. He was a regular ass dude, just like us. You know what I'm saying. You couldn't

go and push him. You couldn't do that. Reggie had a father, man, Reggie had a father that refused for him to be like me, one of us, and he and he made him get that education. Now that Reggie didn't have, Reggie Wright Senior, Reggie Reggie Wright Jr. Would have been thugged out or dead right now because he didn't have no other way. He'd have been one of the homies, could have been one of the homies that lost his life already. That's a good example of the

importance of a of a positive father. Yeah yeah, and I can't be mad at him. But just like these police officers were talking about this lady that took that money, they're human, They normal ask people just like us, just like us. Now, Now, whatever she was gonna do with that five hunted, that's that's crazy. But everyday Reggie wore

that uniform, I guarantee you he thought about it. From from from making that transformation from from a police officer to being on death row on some gangster ship hanging with some gangster niggers with the business ship. His whole mentality changed, but he still had that police swag or whatever they want to call that, that new word ship. He had that still in it. And the only way he can filter that ship out is now go to prison.

Now he living just like us now now, even seeing the other side of that blue uniform, everything that you was arrested. Now, look at you. When we took him down in there and they told him to turn around and handcuffed, I see a different Reggie now, I see a total different Reggie. I don't see the police officer Reggie no more. But I I know both sides because I grew up with him. I know his family. I did the story for his mom and daddy. We went and looked for Pops when Pops couldn't be found. So

I'm We're that close with the family. They are a family. So I know little Richie. You know what I'm saying. His other cousins turned out to be from the hood, Little William Tony. They from the hood. Reggie Wright Senior wouldn't having that ship. He wouldn't having it. Yeah, I think um A lot of people though, struggle with that,

like how was this guy like you? You know the history, But just for the average listener to the Gangster Chronicles that thinks the way Bosco things, They're like, this guy was all but now he's talking to gangster stuff on this show. You know. One thing in Bosco said is how can you be a copy and you're arresting all these people? You basically sention on all these people. A police officers job is to write a report. That's how I go from here, from point A to point B.

You know what I'm saying. And if I ever heard Reggie speak bad on on him, I would I ould have been like, why why do you say something like that? Dude came up here. He cool, Yeah, why would you speak like that? And and and you know, Reggie had his days when he said this ship about ship. Don't don't say that about ship. Man. Don't say that about because that's one thing I do know. Su and ran and told ship. Oh yeah, you feel me. You ain't

wrote and told ship. So that's a fact. And Reggie no, but you know, to each his own when he apologized. I accept the apology one hunter, whether it was it was he was being one hunter or whatever, just the fact of saying it. I'm cool with that. I ain't out there trying to make new enemies old running to the old ones. And none of that ship. Me and Bosco never hung out or kicked it like that. So I felt it when he said, I ain't trying to No,

no murder ship and none of little ship like that. Okay, cool. So what I did was said it sitting at the house, did a little video shot at the blad. I didn't know. I accept his apology just on some man ship. Yeah, I accept his apology, and I'm we're good. We never had a problem anyway. But it's just certain things when we talk about people, certain things we say. It's sketchy when you talk about family, talking about the homie, Okay, I can get it. Talking about my brother and my

mother and my sister's totally different story. You're gonna get a different reaction from that. So what made you do a video? Uh? Response? As opposed to just picking up the phone. And I think, I think instead of instead of us sitting here talking and and and all these people at home or in their trucks, in their cars driving and seeing us on the conversation, let us see how we should be as men, men accepting each other apologies and and being able to push home from that bullshit,

and and not trying to be reckless towards each other. Okay, I accepted as apology, he apologized, I accepted one hunting I'm good men. Yeah. Now I think Bosco is cool people. Man um I worked with doing that ceasefire between Queen Street Neighborhood Piru and the angle with thirteens and Bosco was pretty He the only one I ever listened to a video because when stramming through the ship and he said something like get over here, and and then he

just banging and smoking. We yeah, with his shirt off. Who then is this dude right here now? He participated with all the Queen Streets and that's cease fire. So that's good. Oh yeah, that that cease fire is good and um it actually leads me to um the last question, some guy named Hordeheair Romero on Facebook is asking me that I need to get a peace treaty going in Chicago. And my response to that is, I don't live in Chicago.

I live in Los Angeles, and all the work that I'm there's not even enough of me to work in Los Angeles. So let alone going to Chicago to try to do some truth and some pieces. Have you ever thought that that that Jide, your mission is bigger than just in l A, that that your voice and the ship that you do with Street TV can can can

make a difference in Chicago. I mean, I want to be able to influence Chicago to do better, but that's gonna have to come from grassroots, from from Chicagoan's you know who's gonna listen to me on the South side of Chicago. You know what I mean? The the the content that you have with with We're just talking to hundreds thousands of gang members, you know, the niggas everything. You you know, how how the the the clock ticks?

Should I say, you know what we're thinking. You know what a lot of these brothers such as myself been through and you can relate to it. So people seeing it as a tool using you as a tool to say, Man, if what if he can come down here and just do some just speak and say this to these brothers out here, maybe that are helped. I I mean, you never know. I'm open to all of that. I'm open to whatever I could do and assist in any city

that is trying to get better. Um. If if there's some brothers in Chicago that's already got the ball rolling and they and they want to get some negotiations going and they just don't know how to go about doing it, Hey, I fly out there and say, all right, you gotta do this, you gotta do that, you know, get that home and come over here. And when we get over here, and you know, I'll do all of that. But um, just starting from the bottom. Man, Um that's got to

come from Chicago. Somebody's got to get the ball rolling. I'm trying to do what I'm doing here in l A and a couple of other neighborhoods, and it's already challenging, you know. To do it right here where I live is hard enough, you know, just putting your your, your, your, your signature on it and saying, man, I'm here, this is what we need to do, and then it's working.

And it's working here, so you can relax. But man, I truly believe now is is your purpose is bigger than you think that you might, even you just can't imagine it. And I sit back and I and I'm and I played with my grandson every day, and I'm saying this was designed for me. This little boy was here for me, because I swear the guy every time I get mad, I see him and he pooh po pop, what's wrong? You're good? You're good, And I just start busting out laughing, and I a'm an no more so.

I mean, he's everything happens for a reason. And I truly believe that now and if my purposes should go to the end of the montherfucking Earth to help or assist in anything that I'm trying to do, now, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going well. You know, I'm available and open to going wherever people see that I could assist. I'm down with that. But I got so much work right here in my backyard, so I'm gonna continue doing

what I'm doing here in Los Angeles. I just want to say that, Um, the Kitchens and the East Coast Cripts, they're doing great. The Florence Thirteens in the East Coasts, they're doing good. Um the fter I mean the I thirteens, and the Queen Streets in the neighborhood pie Roules, they're doing good. And we're just trying to add more more

to that. And let me tell, uh, what's what's your name of that brown as green as whatever that showed that keep putting that ship out there down this Alex and and and uh which called you're talking about all those troll accounts on you on YouTube. I don't even want to speak on whatever. This motherfucker now on the Kitchen Crips didn't kick me out. I was a kitchen crip,

you know what. And I'm gonna stop Porky, Porky and Smoky from Kitchen Crip came to the Gangster Chronicles and sat right next to you, and we did an amazing one of our one of our best shows. Um, you know, just talking about the truth and your your history with the Kitchens, got history with with a little bit of everybody. But I ain't gonna even bring that food up. But I mean, you know, and I don't even do that trolling ship. I don't do that. That what they call

it cloud or whatever? What is that what they call it when you when you serve calm, whatever the ship they do when they get here talking about people just to get the views and all that whatever they call it. Uh, I ain't. I ain't to what's called him on that. But this dude just constantly, constantly like bam, and it fished me off. I don't want to respond to it because it don't make no no sense here in the fucking UK. This motherfucker ain't never been encomforted. This motherfucker

don't know ship. This motherucker don't know Bunchy and the damn show don't know no kitchen crips to say I've got kicked out the hood. Give me a year dating time, motherfucking Do I know him? Hell yeah, my sister married to one. I then gave my blood to one, he got shot thirteen times. Mario and and I came, and four more, five of the other homies came, and and and and leaned back on that motherfucking table and gave Mario blood. So I mean, that's family. So when he

was a crip, that's family. So this this closed us. Yeah, I wouldn't even waste any time on that. I mean that that same those same trolls hit my Street TV all the time.
